I have a 15yr old Liftmaster 1/2HP chain drive opener that recently broke. The plastic gear has stripped out and I could just replace the part ($5-$6 or so). However, I previously (3 years ago) had to increase the "strength" of the lift with the adjustment screws on the opener. I keep the rollers and track lubricated so I'm wondering if it was a poor install on the door (runs OK in summer, locks up in winter due to temp changes). It's also a cheap, noisy unit. So, keeping in mind the unit's age, which of the following options do you all recommend? --> 1) Just replace the gear and re-lube everything. It should last another 10 years or so... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you checked the balance of the door? Disconnect the door from the GDO and check to see if the door is in balance with the springs by raising the door about 1/2 way to see if the springs hold it there. If not, an adjustment is in order. Also, while disconnected from the GDO, run the door up and down manually several times to see if there is any sticking or any looseness in the hardware. Loose rails can be tightened and bad rollers can be replaced. |
Yes, I've tested the door. It slides freely but there is definitely some play in the door/rail interface. The balance appears to be fine. There is a sizeable gap (2" or so) between the top of the door and the exterior of the house. The gap from the sides of the door to the house is maybe 3/4" or so (door overlaps the opening but is slightly offset from the opening). I'm assuming that this will never be airtight but should I try to get it closer? My rails do not appear to be adjustable (cable reels are already very close to the wall) so I think I'm stuck with the situation. For the $15 or so for a set of new rollers I'm thinking it would be worthwhile if I'm already replacing the opener. Any thoughts on gear replacement versus replacing the entire unit? |

Pokemon Fusion: Gotta Match 'Em All
Alex Onsager's Pokémon Fusion isn't just a time sink, it's a time black hole, even if you're not a Pokémon fan. All you need to do is select two monsters from the list – the one on the left will be the base of the new monster's body, and the one on the right will be the base of the color and the face of the new monster – like so:
Awesome result for very little effort! Let's do it again, just to prove to you that Psyduck's face makes for a winning Pokémon:
The opposite of Psyduck would be Wigglytuff:
Awwww. Of course, you can also have fun with their names. Here's an example, made by Redditor jcs1:
There are currently 76 Pokémon on the list, and since combining the same Pokémon results in the same monster, there are 5,700 fusions in all. This being the Internet, I'm betting all of them have been made and rated. Personally I don't care that I didn't discover anything new. Hell, I still haven't tried Psyduck's face on all the monsters on the list. Check out Pokémon Fusion now!

Mouse Keybinding Issue
I am currently having an issue with keybindings to my mouse.
I have bound my toggle mouse cursor look to my keyboard. Originally it was bound to my middle mouse press.
When I am fighting, I use my left and right mouse buttons. I think there may be some sort of proximity click issue because the mouse cursor will pop up. Thinking there may be something wrong with my middle mouse button I bound drag/press/click/everything to empty trays so they will try to activate those but do nothing that would otherwise cause combat issues.
It didn't work. The mouse cursor still pops up.
I have been doing some other testing and I swear it seems like the game "forgets" an item is no longer bound to a particular key.
I also noticed that in general combat the game ignores the fact I have it set to not fire on anything unless it is targeted. The scenario is two enemies - I target one and fire on it. It is close to dying and before the last beam leaves the weapon it does in fact die. The weapon however still discharges but on the other enemy whom I have yet to target. I have to then manually target the bad guy to keep firing on it. This is bad in that in some cases the other enemy is sufficiently far enough away that I have not aggroed him - but that last beam fires on the untargeted, unaggroed bad guy and now I am back in combat.

Leaf Valeo 22
Turning Over a New Leaf
This review is part of a larger series
of ongoing articles and reviews of medium format digital backs.
If you have not already done so you might wish to begin by reading my Digital
Back Survey
and then refer to the other reviews in this series that are linked at the bottom
of that page.
Leaf Vaeo 22 and Digital Magazine, mounted on a Mamiya 645 AFD
The Leaf Valeo 22 started shipping in early September, 2003. It is the first 22 Megapixel medium format digital back that is suitable for field use without an attached computer. And, at 22MP it offers the largest sized single shot imaging chip yet seen in a digital back or camera. It has double the pixel count of the 11MP Canon 1Ds and has nearly 40% more photo sites than the Kodak DCS Pro Back 645. (The Sinar 54 and forthcoming Phase One H25 both features equivalent sized chips, but neither is suitable for field use without a tethered computer).
For those not familar with Leaf, it is a part of Creo, a Canadian company that is one of the biggest names in the graphic arts field worldwide.
The Price? Don't Ask!
Let's get the price issue out of the way first. The old saying goes — If you have to ask the price, you probably can't afford it. But I'll tell you anyhow. Including the 10GB Digital Magazine and an HP iPAQ PDA (used for image review in the field) the back costs approximately $30,000 U.S. This is definately not hobbyist pricing. Nor is it within reach of many professional photographers who could make good use of the stunning image quality and giant files (126MB in 16 bit mode) that this back is able to produce.
But, there are a great many professional photographers for whom this is an investment, and who can make it pay, and payback. There are indeed so many such folks around the globe that the product is likely to be in short supply for some time. So, though this is not a product that any but a handful of readers will ever buy, it is currently the state-of-the-art portable digital back on the market today, and so like reading a review of the latest Ferrari in Car & Driver or CAR magazine, it's fun to fantasize and also to learn what makes it tick.
Of course one has to ask the question — Why is it so damn expensive? There are two factors, and the first is, of course, the size of the chip. At just slightly short of the size of a 645 frame only four of these chips can be made on a standard 6 inch wafer. This is instead of the hundreds of devices that could otherwise be made on the same sized piece of silicon. Put this together and you have a chip that I'm making an informed guess costs about U.S. $5,000 in manufacturer's quantities. And that's without any of the support electronics and other devices needed to make a fully functioning back.
Now add all of the necessary support hardware, firmware and software, figure out the R&D and development costs, and then amortize this over the production of a relatively small number of units. Remember, we're not talking about 30,000 units a month the way Canon is with its digital Rebel D300. It's more likely dozens a month rather than tens of thousands. Yet, the development costs may be comparable.
So what we end up with is a device that costs as much as a premium automobile, or the down payment on a house. Nevertheless, I believe that it's going to be one of the hottest digital backs among fashion, product and advertising photographers, as well of course as anyone with a Platinum credit card and a lust for the best.
The Evaluation
Ilan Carmi — Leaf's Product Marketing Manager
It needs to be stated from the outset that this is not a full product review. There are only a handful of Valeo 22 backs in the world at the moment, mostly in the hands of Leaf staff and their national distributors around the world. The one I was involved in evaluating was in the hands of Ilan Carmi, Leaf's Product Marketing Manager. He is based in Herzlia, Israel, Leaf's headquarters, and was visiting Toronto for a few days. We spent one of them working together on an evaluation for this site.
Early units that are just becoming available this month (September,
'03) are final commercial units from a hardware point of view, but still run
with beta software. Also, the versions available right now are for the Mamiya
645 AFD and Hasselblad V series, while my personal
medium format camera system is a Contax
645. Therefore the test shots that we were able to do were done with
Ilan's Mamiya, while the comparisons that I was doing were with my 16 MP
Kodak DCS Pro Back 645 on my
Contax. The Contax plus Kodak back are my medium
format digital reference system. As I tests more medium format backs in future,
for better or worse these will serve as my benchmark. Incidently, the Hasselblad
version can be attached to various medium format cameras (Mamiya RZ and
RB, Fuji 680 and Bronica) via adapter plates. Both can be attached to any
4x5" camera. The Contax 645 and the Hasselblad H1 versions
will be ready before the end of the year.
Immediately below are frames taken with the Valeo 22 on a Mamiya 645 with Mamiya 80mm lens, and with the Kodak DCS Pro Back on a Contax 645 using a Zeiss 80mm lens.

The first thing to be noted are the relative file sizes. The Leaf produces a file that is nearly 40% larger in surface area. It's like the difference between 645 film and 6X6 film, except in reverse. If you click on the images above you will see larger versions, and below are 100% crops from the center of each frame. I have tried my best to match the gray balance of both images.

Valeo 22 — 100% detail |
16 MP Kodak DCS Pro Back
645 — 100% detail |
Notwithstanding the colour balance differences (the Leaf file definitely did a better job with blues, especially as seen in the sky), the Kodak image appears to have a bit more accutance while the Leaf shows a bit more detail. Because we were shooting with two different lenses on different bodies, there is no way of knowing if what we're seeing is a result of focus and lens quality differences, or resolution differences between the backs. This is one of the reasons why I feel that this test will not be in any way complete until I've had an opportunity to compare these backs by shooting on the same body with the same lens.
One of the things that was immediately apparent is that the Leaf file needed considerably more USM than did the Kodak. This is neither here nor there when it comes to the final result, but I wonder whether this is due in part to differences between the Kodak chip and the Philips Dalsa chip. (Incidentally, the other two current 22 MP backs, the Sinar 54 and the Phase One H25 both use a 22MP Kodak chip that is the same design as Kodak's 16MP chip, just enlarged in one dimension). And, since the images above are of course sharpened (nothing could be determined from the unsharpened files) it may well be that small USM setting differences may be behind the small difference seen in accutance and resolution. Or, it could have been the lenses. Or.....

The frame immediately above shows your humble reviewer holding a Macbeth colour chart. The descriptions that I provide here are of what I see on a calibrated and profiled monitor. The comparisons are against the Macbeth colour chart as viewed under an Ott-Light True-Color daylight-balanced fixture. (These sRGB JPGs may or may not show you what I describe, depending as well on the adjustment of your particular monitor. Go by what I say, not by what you see above).
Though not part of the colour chart itself, the life-ring behind me is an intense orange colour and the Leaf back did a much better job of reproducing it properly than did the Kodak. I also find the skin tone of the Leaf to be superior.
The Leaf back appears to be deficient in the greens. This can be seen not just in the green chart chips but also in the way that it reproduces the background foliage. Both backs do a comparable job on the reds but neither do a good job on yellows. The Leaf yellow is peach and the Kodak yellow is not as bright as it should be.
The Leaf back is definitely superior in reproducing blues, mauve and purples. The first brown square is better on the Leaf but the flesh-coloured square next to it is wrong on both backs.
Overall both cameras did reasonably well, and I wouldn't choose one over the other on the basis of colour reproduction. If one was doing critical colour work, such as product or fashion photography, I would recommend generating and using a custom profile, just as with any digital back or DSLR.
Once I can have a Contax mount Valeo 22 for at least a week, and can do comparisons with the Kodak back on the same body with the same lens, and with the final production Leaf profiles, then the comparisons will be valid. Until then regard the above just as a first pass approximation.
The Back
There isn't much remarkable about the back itself, other than that on the business end it contains a 4,056 x 5,356 pixel imaging chip, the largest size currently available in the world. There is a small built-in fan (which I found to be quite a bit noisier than the fan in the Imacon Ixpress back), which helps dissipate the heat produced by the back's electronics. On the base of the unit there are standard Firewire connectors which allow the camera to connect directly to a Mac for studio work or to Leaf's Digital Magazine for portable use.
Depending on the camera to which it is attached, the Valeo 22 is capable of about 1 FPS and has a built-in 500MB buffer, holding up to nine 44MB RAW 16 bit images before data needs to be written to disk. It also features an orientation sensor to identify whether the frame shot is vertical or horizontal.
The Digital Magazine & DP 67 iPAQ
Digital Magazine and DP-67 iPAQ
Seen above on the base of the camera body is the Leaf Digital Magazine. This is a 10 GB hard disk and battery holder. It attaches to the base of the camera with a special quick-release mounting plate and then attaches to the Valeo 22 back with a provided short custom Firewire cable. The magazine thus provides both image storage and power to the back. The 10GB version (there is also a 5GB version available) all-in with an iPAQ costs approximately $2,000 and can hold some 215 16 bit RAW files. This is competitive with the cost of CF cards, and is much faster. Note that the magazine itself costs $1,400 and comes with many accessories: two batteries, dual battery charger, AC adapter, car-lighter charge cable, DP-67 s/w on a memory card plus USB card reader, a soft pouch for the iPAQ, cables and a tripod-bracket with quick release for the camera with the Digital Magazine.
Power is supplied by two 6 volt rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries. These are standard Sony batteries available at any AV retailer.
The magazine is supplied with Leaf's DP 67 software, which is designed to run an an HP iPAQ handheld PC. (Not supplied). When plugged into the Digital Magazine the iPAQ provides many of the functions that a built-in screen would on a back such as the Kodak DCS Pro or a DSLR. The advantage is that the screen is huge by comparison, but the downside is that this is yet another separate device to be carried.
Leaf provides a very nifty soft pouch for the iPAQ that clips to ones belt and that features a couple of quick-release tabs. This greatly improves accessibility, but attaching it to the camera directly would be preferable. I suggested a bracket that would hold the iPAQ next to the right side of the camera body, and that folded the unit flush with the body for packing. Ilan thought that this was a good suggestion. Let's see if it ever makes it into production.
The DP 67 software that runs on the iPAQ is very impressive. It provides almost instantious image review after shooting, and also comprehensive control of all of the camera's functions. It is a far more convenient solution than having to have a tethered laptop computer along, particularly Mac laptops which can't run with their screen lid closed. The iPAQ's relatively large screen is superior to any ever built into a digital back or camera, though of course not as large as one on a laptop. As with all things there are trade-offs to be made and I feel that the iPAQ solution is a good one.
I didn't have enough time with the DP 67 software to do more than a cursory evaluation, but what I saw was impressive.
The Software
Capture V8 Menu Palette
Leaf's supplied Leaf Capture V8 software is an archetype for what digital camera image processing should be like. Leaf has been in this business a long time, and it shows. The software is comprehensive, extremely well designed, and powerful. I am very familiar with most of the top-tier RAW conversion software on the market, including those from Phase One and Imacon. From what I've been able to see Leaf's Capture V8 has equal or greater functionality to any other company's software.
My major criticism is that the Leaf support software is only available for Macintosh. Not having PC / Windows support is, I believe, a serious flaw in an otherwise extremely well conceived product offering. Yes, Mac's are popular among photographers and in the publishing industry, but PCs are the 800 pound gorilla of the computing industry with more than 90% market share. Leaf says that they have a PC version of Capture V8 under development, but I'm told that they've been saying this for a while. Until this becomes available photographers who are PC owners and who want to use the Valeo 22, or any Leaf back for that matter, will be forced to either spend additional money on a Mac or will have to look to another company for their digital imaging solution.
My other criticism is that conversion speed is very slow. On a dual processor 533Mhz Mac G4 with 1GB of RAM it took about 2.5 minutes to produce a 16 bit TIFF. This is an unacceptably long time. I am told that on a new dual processor Mac G5 this would be reduced to about 1 minute. I'll have to see that for myself. In the meantime, especially of you're using a slower and older desktop Mac or a laptop, be prepared to drink a lot of coffee.
Exposure & Tone Curve Adjustment
These criticisms aside, there is a great deal to like about Capture V8. For example, above is one of the control palettes for Exposure, Gray Balance and also the Tone Curve. As you can see there is a user adjustable curves tool for controlling the linear Tone Curve, something I've not yet seen in any RAW conversion software.
Though I didn't have an opportunity to test it the Leaf Capture V8 software includes Leaf Batch Processor. It can automatically batch process files via a hot folder mechanism, in the background, while the user can keep working on other applications (or shoot tethered) in the foreground.
A full review of Capture V8 will have to wait for when I have a review sample for an extended period.
Preliminary Conclusion
Based on every factor that I was able to evaluate during a single day of use the Leaf Valeo 22 is a most impressive product, albeit at a most breathtaking price. What I was not able to evaluate in any critical manner was image quality. We did some side-by-side shooting with the Contax 645 and Kodak DCS Pro Back but the Valeo 22 didn't have its final software installed and we were shooting with two different cameras and lenses, so Ilan and I agreed that a more detailed comparison would not be appropriate at this time.
I have been promised a Valeo 22 with a Contax fitting for extended testing as soon as one becomes available, which should be before the end of 2003. At that time I hope to be able to provide an in-depth evaluation of image quality and a comparison with other medium format digital backs as well as high-end DSLRs.
In early November, 2003 I was visited again by Leaf's Product Marketing Manager Ilan Carmi, who had with him a Contax version of the Valeo 22. We spent the better part of a day doing a comprehensive comparison . My revisited review of the Valeo 22 is now online.
Issue #9 (Dec. '03) of
The Luminous Landscape Video Journal
will contain
an in-depth interview with Illan Carmi, the Leaf Valeo Product
Marketing Manager.
In it we discuss a range of digital imaging topics including the future of high-end
digital imaging chips.

In one of the most innovative ads we've featured, HP organized a guerrilla marketing campaign for its photo paper.
The urban installations were created by Publicis of Malaysia and were comprised of "holes" in the city. Each black hole was made of paper and strategically placed around the city to fool people into thinking the background was actually a fake backdrop. In reality, the only fake thing was the hole printed on HP paper.
The effect looks pretty eerie from a distance, but as people get closer, they are able to read the small print by HP.

NC Delegates Wrap Up Week In Tampa
North Carolina's delegates to the Republican National Convention are headed home, after their big week in Tampa. Delegate John Steward from Union County joined thousands of fellow party members at Mitt Romney's nomination acceptance speech last night. He says he likes that Romney is not backing away from cutting federal spending.
John Steward says, "I really liked the fact they're not backing off the Medicaid and Medicare - the only way to save it is to reform it and they're not backing off of that."
The presidential nominee barely mentioned those topics in his speech. But his vice presidential pick Paul Ryan is famous for his budget plan's massive changes to the federal health programs. Romney and Ryan will now hit the campaign trail. Steward says he believes the party has put a contentious primary behind it and is ready to work for Romney. The Democrats hold their convention in Charlotte next week.

Welcome and enjoy the rest of your trip. Thanks for the post.
This is my first posting on the forum....
I had alot of apprehension about the Treehouse Villas; transportation, creepy crawlers, villa location to name a few. I requested a villa near the pool but that could not be accomodated which was not really an issue. We were assigned a Treehouse which is just steps away from the north bus stop. After a 5 minute wait for Bell Services with a huge crowd at Saratoga we were on our way. It was hot and wet but we are here, could be worse...like New Jersey!
The Treehouse is awesome....I could go on and on. No creepy crawlers, we took the resort shuttle to the Springs bus stop and were there in less than ten minutes. As we stepped off the resort shuttle a Magic Kingdom bus was arriving in less than five minutes. I like the fact that the resort shuttle goes right to the Springs bus stop and does not do the SSR bus loop! Our bus driver on the way back told us to take the Treehouse north stop bus to the Treehouse south bus stop and walk the six minute path to the Grandstand bus stop and we would be the first ones on a park bus. I am skeptical because than we would have to do the SSR bus loop and end up at the Springs anyway? I understand her point to be the first ones on a park bus but I can't see having an issue?
Long day from New Jersey to WDW but we are here. We breezed through Adventureland and had dinner at Pecos Bill's and finished the night at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. The bus stop back to SSR had incredibly long lines and we actually waited for a bus even though the driver got off to walk down the side of the bus to tell people they were not standing close enough and allow more people on the bus....that practice I believe will end up hurting the company; it is just unsafe to put so many people on one bus in that manner.
Food and Wine today!!!

Welcome and enjoy the rest of your trip. Thanks for the post.
Day 2-9/28/2009
Took a short trip to the SSR main pool and headed off to EPCOT for the day. After a few attractions, we left through the International Gateway for Yacht and Beach Club for an early dinner at Beaches and Cream for the first time ever. Very hot and humid outside.
When we got to Beaches and Cream I was greeted by a young female cast member, I introduced myself and informed he that I needed seating for a party of ten. "Oh great," was the pleasant and friendly greeting that I received. We waited about thirty minutes and strolled the lobbies until our tables were ready.
For the first time I was surprised at how small the eatery was compared to it's popularity. Burgers were outstanding, and I took photos of everone's dessert's. I had the Milky Way with no hot fudge and I think I have discovered a new favorite. We took the Friendship VI back to the International Gateway and saw the kids off with the Grandparents back to SSR as we stayed for "grown-up night" for Food and Wine.
Instead of describing each selection, I figured I would give a listed summary with my own feedback and the feedback of my brother in law and friend.
Cosmo Slush (France) = Good Choice
California Roll (Japan) = Excellent Choice
Praline Bread Pudding (New Orleans) = Excellent Choice
Sazerac Cocktail (New Orleans) = Purely Potent, similar to Gasoline
Boston Crab Cake (Hops & Barley) = Good Choice
Lobster Roll (Hops & Barley) = Ok Choice
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat (Hops & Barley) = Excellent Choice
Kielbasa & Potato Pierogie (Poland) = Excellent Choice
Midnight Patron Slush = Excellent Choice
I know we missed alot of the marketplaces, we are revisiting later this week. Awesome night with the wife and friends. Beaches and Cream was awesome with the exception of one lame Cast Member.

Day 3-9/29/2009
Birthday one of three for this trip, Daughter's 16th birthday of my best friend. Started the day out with a breakfast at Kona Cafe and it was excellent as usual. Wife had Tonga Toast and I had the Big Kahuna breakfast.
Even with the lower humidity, it was or at least it seemed to be even hotter than yesterday. We met up with the rest of the family at Hollywood Studios to bake in the sun.
With the heat, were were able to knock out Toy Story Midway Mania, Tower of Terror, Rock n' Rollercoaster, The Great Movie Ride and Star Tours and enjoyed some of the performer's on Sunset Boulevard.
We had a 2pm ADR for 50's Prime Time Cafe for the birthday girl's (16 year old) dinner. We were seated in about 20 minutes and our waiter "Mike" was the best ever, absolutely the best. He did not discriminate in picking on everyone, all ten of us.
My friend ordered a half size "Mad Hatter" cake for the birthday girl and it was absolutely incredible. The manager of 50's even said they almost never see custom cakes, only the standard 6" frozen cake. It was awesome until the cake was cut....$168.00 for the wrong flavored cake, yellow instead of chocolate that was ordered?
We invited Mike (the waiter) to join us for a piece of cake and he was so great that he brought out a 6" chocolate cake for the birthday girl. I need to sidebar here for a second. I am a DVC owner and a Passholder, this is my seventh trip to WDW. I have noticed a trend in the entusiasm in the Cast Members; it seems to be non-existent of late. I tried to convert DDP credits to an already purchased Hoop Dee Doo ADR and when that was done and I asked to confirm my refund I was told that my payment was only a confirmation and no charge was made. It took me asking to see a manager to have it explained to the Cast Member and for me to have the refund processed. Secondly, when we checked-in to 50's Prime Time Cafe we were told there was no cake on the ADR and there were no custom cakes in the kitchen. Again, it took a manager to confirm that the cake was there but what we saw was "They are saying something about a cake." Maybe Lou can teach the Traditions program for the new Cast Members, at least out waiter Mike maintain's what that tradition is all about.
We closed the day back at the SSR pool. My daughter became sick while waiting to board Star Tours so we left a little early. We needed to get back early as tomorrow is my daughter's 4th Birthday and we have a 9:30 for BBB and then it is her day to make the decisions. Happy Birthday Princess!

to WDW Radio!
We were just at the world 3 weeks ago and we had Mike as our waiter at 50's Primetime as well and I whole heartedly agree with you on him! He did a great job! Bummer about the custom cake being the wrong flavor...I would certainly be following up on that original cake order and having them make some kind of price adjustment for you. I hope that you are going to share pictures of the cake with us!
I think most people are shocked when they first see the inside of Beaches & Cream and how small it is. Not often do you see a table of 10 in there and the size of the restaurant is why they do not take ADR's. I can't believe you that you didn't try the Kitchen Sink for dinner with 10 of you there!
Enjoy the rest of your vacation! Tell Mickey 'hello' for us!
Wow, sounds great so far.

Day 4-9/30/2009 Daughters 4th Birthday
Beautiful day, awesome temperatures and we headed for the MK for park opening and a 9:30 BBB appointment. We arrived just in time, as the train entered the Main Street Railroad Station. After a few photos, we headed for Cinderella's Castle.
My daughter's first time at BBB, we checked in and the Cast Member told my wife and daughter to pick out her dress, shoes, etc. As we expected, we were told she was going to be Aurora for the last 10 months and at the last minute she chose Belle (my wife's favorite). Another Cast Member took my daughter throught the salon to an area where two curtains were closed and asked my daughter what the Fairy Godmother says when she creates magic.....and then opened the curtain to a beautiful dressing room where the Belle gown, Belle shoes and Belle crown where all set up perfectly. My daughter got changed and headed back to the waiting area to have her name called.
In about 10 minutes her name was called by the stylist and she was taken back to her chair. What an awesome experience...hair, nails, light make up and pixie dust all photographed by a Photo Pass Cast Member documenting the transformation. I actually caught myself filling up watching my princess go through this process. On a side note, my wife cannot even get her to sit still for one minute to brush her hair let alone 40 minutes...perfectly still, unbelievable. She looked absolutely beautiful and walked with grace as if she just won a pagent as we headed down Main Street to Exposition Hall for her photos.
I tried to count the number of Birthday Wishes she received all day and lost count around mid-day. She was called onto the sidewalk by the Mayor with some other guests to have "Happy Birthday" wished to everyone; she was pulled aside by the Haunted Mansion so a Cast Member could call Goofy so he could sing "Happy Birthday" to her on the phone.
We concentrated her attractions wishes in Fantasyland and of course her and my son's favorite Splash Mountain (covered in her poncho of course.) we had lunch at Columbia Harbour House and left the Magic Kingdom at 6:30 for a 7:25 ADR at Cinderella's Royal Dinner at the Grand Floridian (1900 Park Fare). The Monorail was down so the boats were pretty crowded, we got the GF in were told the were running behind and we were sat for dinner around 8:00 pm. Dinner was good, choices were somewhat limited. The surprise for my daughter was the custom cake I ordered from the Grand Floridian Bakery and it exceeded any expectations I had, in one word awesome! A three layer chocolate cake with white chocolate mouse filling and pink buttercream, sugared flowers and a white chocolate/gold leafed Minnie Mouse on the top that was about eight inches tall.
What a great way to end the best way to celebrate a birthday. To my surprise my daughter kept her hair and dress perfect all day and through dinner. We called a taxi back to the Treehouse due to the Monorail being down still and all of the packages we would have to carry from the GF to the MK to SSR and then to the Treehouse.

Day 5-10/01/2009
A lazy morning and an early afternoon trip to Downtown Disney for lunch and the World of Disney for a Minnie Mouse Costume for the Not So Scary Halloween Party. I did not care for the fact that the only SSR boat launch is from Pleasure Island but I am sure it has reasoning?
A 4:25 ADR at the Turf Club, I am not opposed to the Turf Club but there were no ADR's for any of the MK dining locations or any of the MK resort dining locations. With that I thought the Not So Scary Party would be at capacity but it hardly seemed that way to me.
We picked up our tickets at Will Call and headed up to Fantasyland. Were were able to walk right on the following attractions with NO wait at all (Tea Cups, Barnstormer, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Buzz Lightyear and the TTA). We stopped at a few candy locations but early on the Cast Members were only giving one or two pieces and we did not want to waste the night for a few pieces of candy compared to the cost of the party tickets.
We had excellent seats for Hallowishes to the right of the Hub on the bridge to Tomorrowland and picked out our normal parade spot in front of the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor for the 10:30 parade. Well worth the wait as we watched a mass exodus down Main Street after the fireworks. I took a video of the Headless Horseman which was amazing as well as the parade, Excellent!
Another exodus from the park followed after the 10:30 parade which left the park basically empty. Again, with no wait we rode Splash Mountain back to back without getting off and finished the night with The Haunted Mansion at 11:50. The Cast Members were incredible, far better than what they perform for the day guests. We got a few handfuls of candy at the Diamond Horseshoe and departed for SSR at 12:15 am after a few pictures in Town Square. Good Night.......

Relaxing morning and Animal Kingdom in the afternoon. Short waits for Expedition Everest and Kalli River Rapids. We walked right on Harambe and Dinosaur. A late lunch at Tusker House was excellent for a first time visitor (Sorry, no pictures). Animal Kingdom not being our favorite park, we left around 6:00 pm and spent the night poolside and the Springs Pool at SSR.
Pool Day today and Hoop Dee Doo Revue tonight!!!!

Day 7-10/03/2009
Another pool day followed by Hoop Dee Doo Revue at Pioneer Hall at Fort Wilderness Campground.
The dinner seemed to be at a faster pace than the last two times I have been there for the dinner-show. The salad and cornbread were pretty good, followed by the entrance of the performers. The dinner followed and was pretty awesome. It was my daughter's first time at the show and she got right into it! After dinner, the dessert part of the show lead right into the Strawberry Shortcake and the next thing I know my father-in-law is being selected to be a part of the show and taken up to the stage.
I took a video and some photos of his performance as "Davy's Angel" and he was a hit. They could not have picked a better guy to fill that role (see photos below). What a great end to an awesome show, he was presented with a "Honorary Pioneer Hall Player" certificate and photos of his performance.
One more day and back to NJ.

What are your experiences with Ikea integrated undercabinet lighting? (Hardwired into the wall.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by saskatchewan_girl (My Page) on Thu, Dec 17, 09 at 11:35
We purchased ours (in Canada) and after going to MANY lighting stores found these to be the nicest and not as hot, if you happen to get close. Every store..even lighting specialty stores..told me that they could not be hard wired. I just knew they could and pursued it and hired an electrician. With the proper transformer (enough to handle the wattage amount) I purchased, the Electrician wired them all to the transformer (place under my sink in a metal "junction" type looking box) NO PROBLEM. He then wired a separate cable from the panel box and put in a new switch in my backsplash. The are even dimmable, with the proper "magnetic" type of dimmable switch!!! Something the Electrician told me. I'm very happy with them and glad I hired the Guy to install, it seemed very time consuming....although not hard, just tedious! No regrets! If you decide to do it, purchase those extras like the transformer, (at least 10watts more than what your lights add up to), dimmable switch, long caps that cover the wiring under your cabinet (purchased from Home Depot, white long opening/locking wire covers that have double backed tape to ensure they stick under your cabinets) .........etc on your own, they cost more when the Electrician provides them. Good Luck : ) |

Hey there,
In the bathroom of the house I bought recently, I pulled up the 40 year old wallpaper and found that it was applied directly to the drywall. The walls have a yellow look about them with some white smears. I am assuming this is the residue on the drywall. There are mildly rough areas where the paste is, but I fear washing the paste off and damaging the drywall. Is it safe to simply seal over the paste residue using GARDZ and paint from there? Should I sand down the slight texture of the paste residue and then seal with GARDZ? Is GARDZ the best choice for a humid area such as a bathroom? Also, in one small spot, when I pulled up the paper, the top layer of the drywall came up. Should I sand/seal/skim that area and then paint, or is there a better way to handle it? Thank you so much for all of your help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yeah, patch the drywall by removing the loose paper facing and filling that and then sanding. I would actually use some Gardz on the ripped paper before patching so that the patch won't bubble. I do not believe that Gardz is designed to be used on mass amounts of wallpaper glue. I always try to remove at least 90 percent of it and then just use the Gardz on the residual paste. |
- Posted by pro_painter (My Page) on Wed, Nov 25, 09 at 14:24
Generally it is a good idea to remove as much of the old paper, if that is what you would like to do, and paper paste remaining on the wall as possible. There are several products that are simply mixed with warm water and sponged on the wall to help with this process. Some of the local paint stores in your area should carry the product Diff or something similar. Follow the instructions of the product and all should be fine. After the removal of the paper and paste and the walls are clean and dry, lightly sand and prime with the Gardz. Allow the Gardz time to dry thoroughly then patch any defects there may be in the drywall with spackling or joint compound. Upon drying, sand and spot prime these areas. The walls should now finish out nicely with two coats of a quality latex paint. Consider a washable paint for the bath area …… eggshell, satin. |

Just a little something that may be helpful if interested in removing the paper. Score the Wallpaper |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Fri, Nov 27, 09 at 5:52
pro painter quotes The unique patented cutting action of the PaperTiger perforates the wallpaper without damaging the wall to allow wallpaper stripper to penetrate through the paper I am assuming you cut and pasted this info from another site. Most home owners and pros alike use too much pressure with this tool and do serious damage to the drywall. I have seen it countless times.This tool works well but must be used VERY carefully to JUST score the surface or the paper NOT go the whole way to the wall.To make a statement that this tool was designed not to damage drywall is just ludicrous. |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Fri, Nov 27, 09 at 5:57
Also, just to add, what is holding the wall paper to the wall is paste or adhesive. Actual glue has not been used for over 50 years or more.Here is a link to a better removal solution. |

Still no word on Florida trash-to-ethanol plant
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent March 21, 2013 9:44PM
This field just west of U.S 41 on the north side of Schneider would be the future site of a garbage-to-ethanol plant in Lake County. Powers Energy of America chose Schneider as it's host community for it's $285 million garbage-to-ethanol plant more than four years ago. | File photo~Post-Tribune
Updated: April 23, 2013 2:42PM
CROWN POINT — Only nine days remain in the first quarter and Lake County still has no word on whether the Ineos Bio trash-to-ethanol plant in Vero Beach, Fla., is in commercial production.
David Hamm, chairman of the Lake County Solid Waste Management District, said he plans to give SMC LLC, the local construction consortium working on a deal to take over the proposed trash-to-ethanol plant in Schneider from Powers Energy America, the full first quarter before he calls the matter before the board again.
"It's not on the agenda this meeting given all the dialogue we had about the first quarter," Hamm said.
In January, Ed Cleveland, spokesman for SMC, told board members the Ineos plant in Vero Beach, Fla., was expected to be in full commercial production by the first quarter of 2013 when he made a plea for more time to pursue the project.
Cleveland had said while SMC is interested in pursuing the project, the conglomerate needs to see the Vero Beach plant in commercial production before it will exercise its option to purchase the rights and contract from Powers.
So far, that production has not happened.
Earlier this week, Schneider Town Council President Richard Ludlow said the plant has some repair and modification issues and is not yet commercially producing ethanol. Schneider said he did not know if the company would meet the first-quarter predictions.
The board entered into a contract with Powers Energy in 2008 for the trash-to-ethanol plant that was pitched by Powers as a solution to the county's solid waste problems for the next 20 year and has spent the past four years waiting for significant progress on the deal. After multiple failed financing attempts and an increasingly strained relationship with the solid waste board, Powers Energy agreed in the fall to the deal that will enable SMC to take over the project.
No representatives from SMC or Powers Energy were at the meeting Thursday.
Hamm said the matter will be on the agenda in April.
"Next meeting, the quarter will be over," he said.

"Sex and the City" first appeared on TV in 1998, but the volume of conversations we've had about the show make it seem like it's been on for decades. Include the movies — like "Sex and the City 2," which appears in theaters on May 27 — and it feels like centuries.
Or maybe it just seems that way because we've had the same tired old conversations for years now. Are you a Carrie, Miranda, Samantha or Charlotte? Is it good for women? Is it bad for women? Someone bludgeon me with a stiletto, please!

Im playing an awesomely cool dwarf thief/charlatan/master thief. And i love it. However i have a few issues with the careers. Which is the lack of the skill observation. For me observation is kind of the most important skill for a thief, next to skulduggery and stealth, but as it is today its simply not there. I mean you sneak into a mansion unseen, and there you cant hear/see the guarding dogs. And if you get pass the dogs you still cant find the glitter/safe you,'re suppose to steal/lockpick. And further if you find the treasure you still cant find the deadly trap the filthy rich merchant has set to keep unwanted fingers away from his gold. I know i still can buy it for twice the amount of xp, but its like a warrior should have to pay twice xp for weapon skill, in my opinion. So why on earth doesnt thieves/master thieves get observation????
the second problem i got with this game and my sneaky thief is that climb is athletics, a strength based skill which neither is in any of the thief-careers which means my agility 5 is useless when i want to climb up to a window to break in. So to sum up i got a thief that cant climb, that cant see, hear or find ****. Our warriors scale surfaces twice as good as me in their freaking chain-mails
I ve tried to take this up with our GM but hes a Rule-nazi (if you read this, please dont kill me;p). "If its not on my card you pay double". So my question is, how do you guys deal with this in your campaigns? Or am i missing something? Am i as a nimble thief suppose to have strength 6 and pay tons of xp on something that i recon should be my primary skills.

When an unexpected tragedy takes the life of his young daughter, Chris finds his own life changed in an instant. After years of climbing rugged trails, he hits rock bottom. Now, estranged from his grieving wife and consumed with guilt, Chris struggles beneath the weight of his selfish past. But when he surrenders everything to Christ and begins living for others, Chris finds peace where once there was only pain - and resolves to rebuild his life and serve his family as God intended.

Having a granddaughter visiting for two weeks means I saw Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me. TS3 was the best of that series! And DM was good if not on that level.
Today, dealing with an adult daughter, saw Inception. I had read some of the reviews and some of them were not awed by the film. So I entered the theater with middling expectations. I love Leo DiCaprio and expected him to be good whatever else happened in the film. And I had read that the less you know about this film before seeing is to your advantage. Whoa! I loved this film! Plot? It's all dreams, and what dream has a plot? It's about dreams that bleed into other dreams and then blend into other people's dreams and they mixed together. One moves from city streets to snow-covered mountains to snug interiors to city lofts furnished with deck chairs--you know, like in a dream where nothing is logical--and yet there really is a narrative that ties all this into a scheme. No spoilers, but one does leave the film asking if what one wants and what one dreams have anything to do with each other. I don't know if anyone will think this a "great" film, but I do like the philosophical, psychological, sociological, and relationship questions. And it's also about love. |

Glad to see that you liked TS3 because DS#1 recommended that movie to us. I have to check out "Inception." It sounds like my kind of movie but I don't know about DH. We don't go to movie theaters any longer, we buy or rent movies. Then there is the compatibility question with our hardware/software and the new movies. I'll have to figure that one out. |
Pidge, it is so good to see you back at the movies. |
Two things, Janis: I've been away from GP and I have not seen as many films because DD2 was moving and that swallowed a lot of time. I do love films as much as I love novels! |

Education Initiatives – Recruiting companies to TENNESSEE by growing the Skilled Work Force Through Corporate Partnerships
May 2, 2012Businesses need capital and labor to create growth and thus jobs. The initiatives mentioned thus far focus on decreasing the tax burden in order to free capital for investment in jobs and Tennessee. However, as a state we also have labor force issues that must be addressed to meet the demands of industries in the future.
Only 20% of Tennessee's workforce has a bachelor's degree. This compares with 30% as the national average. Of all jobs created in 2012 approximately fifty eight percent will require a degree of some kind. We cannot compete if we do not address this strategic competitive disadvantage.
Looking at unemployment figures further emphasizes the need to address our shortfall in degreed workers. In February 2012 the unemployment figure for individuals without a high school diploma was 13.1%, while for individuals with a high school diploma it was 8.4 %. For individuals with a bachelor's degree or higher, the unemployment rate was 4.2%. The effects of this disparity are evident when comparing counties within Tennessee. Williamson County, with 53.7 % of its population holding a bachelor's degree or higher had unemployment in Nov 2011 of 5.8 %. For Clarksville and Montgomery County, with just 21.9% of its population holding a bachelor's degree, 9.0% of the work force was unemployed in NOV 2011.
The impact of this condition on the community goes beyond unemployment and the ability to recruit businesses and jobs. Studies show persons with a bachelor's degree earn over one million dollars more in their life times than persons without a degree, making our colleges essentially mini million dollar factories. Each graduate adds a million dollars in spending and investment. The greater percentage of college graduates in a community, the more dollars produced and spent.
Our state and our district needs to increase the number of graduates with bachelor's degrees to compete for businesses and thus jobs. We need the added incomes of degreed students to impact our community's wellbeing into the next 50 years.
The city of Clarksville should be extremely pleased with the arrival of Hemlock Semiconductor and the jobs it brings our community. The cooperation between the company, the city, and Austin Peay University, which produced a specialized degree for the company, is a model for the future.
There are several opportunities for advancing this model and my unique experience as a healthcare company CEO, coupled with exposure as a state senator can deliver similar opportunities. As the government mandates healthcare information technology, degrees integrating the language of medicine and the language of computers and technology have taken off. Austin Peay currently has an outstanding health sciences program, including nursing, as well as an excellent computer programing and sciences department. Creating a degree between these two departments and recruiting healthcare IT companies to base in Clarksville would be a worthy pursuit. Further, opportunities exist with surrounding hospitals to expand Austin Peay's nurse practitioner program and advance Bethel College's new Physician Assistant Program.
Upon completion of the new convention center, Nashville plans to convert its current convention center into a medical mall. This provides another opportunity to bring healthcare IT and manufacturing to the Clarksville area and having a healthcare CEO as a state Senator can certainly facilitate bringing these jobs to Montgomery, Stewart and Huston Counties.

(Redirected from Appellant)
For other uses, see Appeal (disambiguation).
In law, an appeal is a process for requesting a formal change to an official decision. Very broadly speaking there are appeals on the record and de novo appeals. In de novo appeals, a new decision maker re-hears the case without any reference to the prior decision maker. In appeals on the record, the decision of the prior decision maker is challenged by arguing that he or she misapplied the law, came to an incorrect factual finding, acted in excess of his jurisdiction, abused his powers, was biased, considered evidence which he should not have considered, or failed to consider evidence that he should have considered.

248 Lord Cranborne, U.K. Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, to Sir Geoffrey Whiskard, U.K. High Commissioner in Australia
Circular cablegram Z8 LONDON, 7 January 1941, 4.19 a.m.
Please give the following message, which is of the highest degree of secrecy, to the Prime Minister [1] for his most secret and personal information. BEGINS- 1. Following is brief summary of recommendations received from the Commander-in-Chief, Far East [2], and of our military advisers' conclusions on these recommendations which have been communicated to the Commander-in-Chief.
2. Commander-in-Chief considers that factors likely to influence Japan to risk war with the British Empire are the serious deterioration of our war situation in Europe, the liquidation of the China war, Russian-Japanese agreement or seizure of control by fanatic(al) [3] in Japan.
Comment-We agree generally but think that Russian Japanese Agreement would not make much difference and that Japan would be unlikely to reduce her present forces in Manchukuo or Korea whatever agreement was reached with the Russians.
3. Policy of firmness necessitates closer relations with China, Netherlands East Indies and Thailand and also- (a) restriction of visas to Japanese to travel in British territory and stricter control of Japanese visiting British ports;
(b) extension of system of prohibited and defence areas;
(c) stricter control of release of war supplies which are now reaching Germany via Japan and Siberia.
Comment-Agree. (a) under active consideration here. Consideration also being given to neutralization of Japanese system of using consular representatives for espionage. Reference (b), action being taken to extend system of prohibited and defence areas to Sarawak and North Borneo. (c) is under constant consideration;
further progress depends on the cooperation of the United States.
4. Commander-in-Chief advises that firmness and confidence and no appeasement would be most likely to prevent war.
Comment-This is the agreed policy of H.M. Government in the United Kingdom.
5. Commander-in-Chief emphasised the importance of close relations with China in order to sustain her resistance to Japan, and recommended organization of mission to join Chiang Kai Shek [4] immediately in the event of war between the British Empire and Japan. Development of communications with China from Burma and preparation of plans for support of China through Burma also urged.
Comment-Military mission (which will probably include an air representative) is being prepared and held in readiness. If despatched this mission would come under Commander-in-Chief Far East. Problem of improving communications between China and Burma is already under detailed investigation. Meanwhile Commander-in- Chief is being invited to give details of his proposals regarding further arrangements for support of China.
6. Commander-in-Chief recommended that our propaganda should aim at convincing Japan that attack on the Netherlands East Indies would mean war with the British Empire and attack on British interests would entail Netherlands East Indies' active intervention. He recommended similar but less definite indication regarding our reaction to aggression against Thailand and pointed out that less rigid attitude of United States to Thailand, particularly with regard to supply of armaments, would increase the latter's powers of resistance to Japanese propaganda or penetration. He raised the question of our policy vis-a-vis Indo- China.
Comment-Propaganda policy in the Far East now under consideration here. The United States Government has been approached regarding relaxation of their present rigid attitude towards Thailand. In this connection see my telegram D.610 of 14th December. [5]
7. Commander-in-Chief reports that in the event of war Japanese would even now be up against difficult proposition before the security of Singapore could be seriously menaced. He suggested the following action for development of local military resources in addition to reinforcements from outside Malaya:-
(a) Calling up of local volunteer forces for two months' training in February and March subject to certain exemptions;
(b) Possible increase in civil armed police and defence corps to supplement protection of vulnerable points, thereby reducing immobilization of troops;
(c) Collection of 18 pounder saluting guns for anti-tank and beach defence;
(d) Increased employment of civil aircraft and personnel and of resources of flying clubs.
8. Commander-in-Chief also recommended:-
(a) provision from India without interfering with formation of new divisions of infantry battalions equipped and trained only sufficiently highly to undertake static duties in defence of aerodromes and vital points and for internal security duties, thus releasing present battalions for mobile role.
(b) that H. M. Government in the Commonwealth of Australia should be requested to provide at least one infantry brigade group from Australia.
(c) provision from Australia and India of artillery personnel to assist in manning 18 pounders referred to in preceding paragraph.
(d) preparation of plan for immediate reinforcement by air and land forces from India in emergency, such plan entailing no commitment.
(e) supply from production in the Commonwealth in the first instance of up to eight 3.7 inch anti-aircraft guns and certain other equipment.
Comment-Commander-in-Chief authorized to make direct approach to Government of India regarding (a) and (c) and to H. M. Government in the Commonwealth of Australia regarding (b) and (c). Sub- paragraph (e) has been dealt with in my telegram No. 510 of 23rd December. [6] Reference (d), Commander-in-Chief has been instructed that plan regarding army units from India should be based on acceleration of despatch of a portion of those reinforcements already earmarked for Malaya.
9. Commander-in-Chief has also made certain recommendations as regards replacement and reinforcement of existing resources in aircraft. These recommendations are now under close examination here and until this is complete it is not possible to indicate what action will be taken upon them.
10. Commander-in-Chief advised that political agreement with the Netherlands East Indies Government that aggression against either British or Netherlands East Indies territory would be treated as against both would considerably improve the situation. He added that Netherlands East Indies Chiefs of Staff showed no dismay at small forces we might have available and clear determination to recommend resistance to any aggression against Netherlands East Indies. Although the local Governor might be less steadfast, military would welcome closest co-operation.
Comment-Question of political agreement regarding Japanese aggression is still under consideration.
11. The Commander-in-Chief also emphasized that British-United States co-operation is the most potent single factor in restraining Japan from further aggression. He added that whereas serious deficiencies exist in the Far East, he considers the position probably better than would appear on paper. While there are many difficulties he expressed confidence of overcoming them.
He emphasized that the establishment of military forces further south in Indo-China or their penetration into Thailand would however entail serious deterioration of our situation. ENDS.

Is there anything else at .2? If not then change the HR20 settings to .2 and see if that changes things.
Or maybe just change everything back to the default settings and start all over again.
The Buffalo ari station is a bridge, joining the wireless network to the wired network. It must have it's own IP address and not be in conflict with any other device on the network.
Assigning the HR20 the .2 address puts it in direct conflict with the air station and guarantees that the system won't work.

I spent a lot of time considering players over the All-Star break and trying to determine if guys like Raul Ibanez was real, if Juan Pierre had any real value, and just bouncing around some names thinking about how they'd impact fantasy teams over the next month or three. Here are a smattering of my conclusions.
The first is that for the first time in his career Ibanez is playing in a park that isn't one of the worst in baseball for home runs, but one of the best. That might not account for all of his road home runs, but the fact that he's actually playing for a team where he's pitched to is a definite plus factor. Hitting after Utley and Howard, two of the most feared hitters in the NL, Ibanez is finding himself coming to the plate with runners on base, and a pitcher who has to pitch to him.
That's leading to better swings, better contact and better results. No doubt he's wishing he had jumped teams long ago. Still he's got an outside chance at 40 home runs this season, but 30-35 is far more likely along with a .300+ average, and 125 RBIs.
Cliff Lee (SP, Indians): While everyone is pondering the question of where Roy Halladay is going to end up, the possibility that Lee will be moved is getting almost no press at all. However the Indians have admitted that Lee is available if the price is right and that price would certainly be a fraction of what the Jays will be asking for Halladay. His fantasy value could take a big jump upward if he ends up on a contender.
Matt Capps (CL, Pirates): There is no question that Capps is going to be moved the only question is where he'll be moved to. Unless he ends up in Tampa Bay the odds he'll retain a closer's gig is fairly small. If you can move him now consider doing it.
Juan Pierre (OF, Dodgers): It's looking less and less likely that Pierre will end up playing outside of LA before the season ends. While he'd be a good fit in several cities the price tag is high, not in terms of talent that a team would have to give up for him, but in terms of dollars he's still owed. That's not in the cards for most teams in this economy -- and his most natural fit, the Mets, probably can't open their wallet any deeper after the Wilpon family lost more than $700 million in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme.
Ervin Santana (SP, Angels): May finally be returning to form. He looked very solid on Thursday going a strong eight innings and yielding just a single run. The strikeouts aren't there yet but it's a big step in the right direction. It's probably a good chance to get him while he's still cheap.
Speaking of Nationals, the other regular Nat outfielder (Nyjer Morgan) has really benefitted from the move to Washington, at least for the moment. Once the Nats start dumping veterans for young talent this month, that value may slide a wee bit, but probably not too much.
Garret Jones (1B/OF, Pirates): Has been hitting out of his socks since coming up a couple of weeks ago. Don't bet too much on him sustaining anything near this pace. These numbers do not line up with his career numbers in the minors. You might want to try moving him before this hot streak comes to an end.

The next level of questing
So how can it be done differently? Elnia has some great ideas: she asks for quests that span a little farther, that push players through a storyline that might even follow them all the way up to 80 (of course, there are quests like that, though they're few and far between -- and not all players have the patience to finish them). Rewards could be mixed up, too -- instead of the old gold and XP, how about some profession skill, or a tradeoff of badges based on certain quests done. Finally, Elnia suggests that every quest in the game become repeatable. Questing is paced to keep us interested in from 1-60, but we all know how the game works now -- why not let us do some of our favorite quests over more than once?
I'd suggest we go even farther -- Warhammer Online offers Public Quests that are an interesting twist on the usual "go kill boars" mechanic. I'd like to see branching quests with more than one outcome -- maybe a moral choice to make that affects the storyline of the quest you're doing. And talking real pie-in-the-sky here, I'd like to see questgivers treat you different based on the way you look or maybe what title you've got equipped. If you've got "Jenkins," they might not expect you to do much, but with "Champion of Ulduar" over your head, they should probably be groveling at your feet.

I had ordered the VAH 6 weeks ago thinking I am getting Baffles and the Magic Lung. Sort of like wearing a belt and suspenders too. But no Magic Lung on M Series. My mistake which I am willing to except. But my problem is with the Baffles. All hoods with Baffles that I am familiar with always emptied into a cup or trough to capture the grease. With the PRXH18 Series there is nothing! I called tech support of the vendor Build.com and spoke to Monty who was nice enough to talk me off the cliff. Because honestly I was a bit on the edge after paying $2K and waiting 6 weeks. So I recorded a video which I hope can convey my concerns and posted it on YouTube.I would really appreciated it if the GardenWeb members would watch it and comment here if I am totally wrong or should I return the hood. Here is the link to the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OukR9TCbsmY I believe that with any usage the grease will just flow straight out and onto the range. Monty says that the grease will be very thick and will not flow at all and will stay in the baffle. But I will have to clean it every week so that it will not "Over Flow". I have a 30" BlueStar RNB and it is Hot! Any grease above that range is going to flow like Maple Syrup. So am I just over thinking this or is this a serious design flaw? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Video of VAH Baffles

Follow-Up Postings:
I think you're over-thinking it. I have a DCS hood that have baffles and no grease trough and I've never had any grease flow down onto the range like maple syrup. It all stays in the baffle or worst case in the groove that the baffle sits in. I wash the baffles every few months. How much deep frying are you planning to do? |
Well that's encouraging. I cook everyday but do not deep fry much. Plan on doing some Wok cooking once the vent is up. I just don't see how the grease, with all that heat, won't run or flow to the lowest point. With nothing to catch it I could easily see it flowing to the cook top. So you are saying that you have a similar setup and the grease just sits on the baffles and does not flow down? |
Yup, the grease just sticks to the baffles in my setup - the baffles would have to get awfully hot to liquefy the grease in my opinion. In the video he uses water which obviously will drip out. |
Yeah that's me with the water. I'm a rookie with hoods. Never had one before. Always thought all baffles emptied into a cup or trough. Live and learn. |

I have a Rangecraft hood with baffles (my first real hood ever) over a CC rangetop. The baffles have never leaked. There is no trap or grease cup to hold gunk (I could never figure out why VAH thinks that's a good design). My baffles hold any grease or oil or whathaveyou until I take them out and throw them in the DW. I used to run them through the DW every week or so but have been forgetting lately due to the fact that I run a full DW twice a day and usually don't have room. Even washing them once a month like I've been doing is fine. The baffles never drip anything on the floor counter when removing them and putting them in the DW. It's so incredibly easy to clean baffles. |
Thank you Breezygirl. That is reassuring to hear. Looking at it does not fill me with confidence but if others have found it to be effective then I'll give it a try. Shipping it back would not be a pleasant experience so you are saving me from the grief. Thanks. |

Commercial hoods use a cup because they are operated all day long and the baffles can't be taken out of service very often. They also use baffles that by code have to be steeper than 45 degrees. Residential hoods have shallow angle baffles that move grease to their lower ends at a very slow rate. The build up in the trough is slight over a long period on my Wolf Pro Island hood. So slight that the baffles after weeks of intermittent use have more oil on them than the troughs do. kas |

The Five Ks (in Punjabi "Panj Kakkar") are symbols of faith worn by baptized Sikh men and women. The name, Panj Kakkar or Five Ks, comes from all five items beginning with the letter "K." It is considered an honor to wear the Five Ks and (for men) turban which publicly identify the wearer as Sikh. Sikhs feel the public nature of their faith holds them to a high level of accountability, both personally and as representatives of their religion. The Five Ks are:
Kesh means unshorn hair. Sikhs affirm that they will keep their hair in its natural state, never cutting it. This is an expression of accepting the natural gifts of God and a commitment to live in harmony with situations and people as they are. Accepting and celebrating one's God-given body without changing it is the first step in accepting other laws, the foremost of which is becoming a universal being.
A kangha is a small comb. The kangha is used to brush a Sikh's long hair twice a day, after which men retie their turbans. Symbolically, the kangha reminds Sikhs to keep their lives in order and their thoughts clear and clean.
Kara means link or bond; the kara is a steel bracelet worn on the right wrist. It is a continuous band with no beginning and no end, just as God has no beginning and no end, and signifies a Sikh's link to the Sikh community and teachings. The kara serves as a reminder to do no harm.
The kachha is an undergarment similar to boxer shorts. The loose-fitting, white shorts have two meanings. One is the reminder to control bodily urges and stay clean in spirit. The other is to remain free to move swiftly when it is time to prevent harm or protect what is good.
A kirpan is a warrior's sword. Today's kirpan can be a real knife, but this can pose difficulties. Often, small symbolic kirpans are worn, instead, attached to the kangha (comb) or worn as a pendant. It is not a symbol of violence. The word kirpan comes from "kirpa," meaning an act of kindness. In any of its forms, the kirpan is a symbol of power, freedom of spirit, and courage to always defend the weak and the oppressed.
The Punjabi word for turban also begins with a K ("keski"), but it is separate from the Five Ks. Usually the turban is worn only by men. Sikh men wear their long hair in a turban to protect the hair and keep it neat, and also as a public expression of humility and faith.

Rosemary oil in shampoo, safe?
Hi, I use a sulfate free L'Oreal shampoo that that rosemary oil and juniper in it as well as the corresponding conditioner that has rosemary oil and mint. I just looked it up AFTER I used it (like and idiot) and saw that "it could cause miscarriage". Now I'm freaking out, will the past seldome use of this product cause me problems or miscarriage? I'm only 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Thank you!

It will be fine, the amounts of oil in that shampoo is probably so low that it won't even register with your body. Juniper is really only bad if you ingest it, I would assume the same goes for rosemary. Try not to stress :)posted 02/28/2013 by Czerenity
