Hi there. We are working out a plan to improve our kitchen, one of the most critical elements being fixing the horribly squeaky floor without removing the custom, stick-built cabinets. The squeaks are extremely loud and in multiple "passage" areas, and the kitchen happens to be over the master bedroom so if anyone is walking around up there, there's no sleeping going on down below.
A few years ago we replaced the kitchen floor, which was 20-year old glue-down vinyl tiles. We put in sheet vinyl (because the floor has a hump in it), at which time the installers tried throwing a bunch of screws at the problem in the worst area, but this did nothing. In fact, although the floor looks a whole lot nicer with the sheet vinyl, replacing the glue-down tiles with the vinyl seemed to have multiplied the squeaky areas and made the existing squeaks worse. So we are wondering ... what is the best course of action? Do we need to have someone replace the subfloor? Can we have someone work/cut around the cabinets to make this fix? Or would the cuts at the cabinets' edge make for new squeaking at the edges? Must we get the whole floor up (including under the cabinets) to adequately address the squeak problem? BTW, we can't access the underside of the floor without pulling down all the ceilings below the kitchen (it's on the second floor of a split-entry house, with the master bedroom, bathroom, closet and another bathroom under it). We REALLY don't want to do that! Any guidance you can give on how this could be done would be wonderful. Thank you so much! |

Pick your poison. There are only two directions from which you can approach this. Rip up everything on top of the floor, or rip up everything below the floor. You have to have access. There is no magic fix with no demoltion involved. Especially with your description of the steps already taken and the "humps". Even though some floors settle a bit over time, "humps" with massive squeaks are indications of potential structural problems. |

So ... no, we can't just cut around the cabinets? Darn it! Because these cabinets aren't "boxes" that can be removed from the wall. They are stick-built right onto the wall/floor with no back (just the wall as the back). If we pull them down, they will be ruined. Anybody care to differ with holly? (No offense, holly, I'm just totally hoping you're wrong, LOL). |
A professional with a flush cut saw (sometimes called a toe kick saw) can make cuts along all vertical surfaces at your cabinets and pull out all the flooring. Then you have to figure out how to quiet your floor. I know how to do that, but I tell customers to expect a sneaky squeak to appear and disappear from time to time as seasons change (a wood house changes size and shape as the seasons change). You have to hire an oldtimer carpenter or floor person or a real smart young one who is great at problem solving. There is no excuse for a floor person to give a customer a noisy floor. |

Thank you, glenn! It's nice to know there may be an alternative for us because I have to tell you, these squeaky floors have made me cranky for 5 years now, and that's a long time to be cranky!! LOL |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Sat, Feb 4, 12 at 12:20
A lot will depend on which way the joists run in the room and exactly what the source of the squeaks and humps are due to. You might be able to get by with using a flush cut saw, but if the cabinets are resting on the subfloor on a joist that will need to be sistered or otherwise beefed up and not sitting the right way, they will have to come out. Yes, you will need to replace the entire subfloor, and that will need to be done from above. I think it's time you cut a hole in the floor and did some exploring as to your joist's unsupported length, depth, and height. Cut a hole where the hump is, and see what you see. A lot of times, that's where a cross beam supports long span joists in the center and they aren't really robust enough so that lets them sag on both sides. That's where sistering the joists may come in. You can't tell until the floor and subfloor is gone. |
- Posted by alicepalace (My Page) on Sun, Feb 5, 12 at 17:25
Thanks for the info, GreenDesigns. There's definitely a "ridge" where the floor seems to tilt away though I think it only tilts away on one side of the ridge. We'll have to see what's up. This is actually in an addition that was put on in 1990 or so. It would be nice to get it corrected because it makes it hard to use any non-flexible flooring. |

It's a spectacular April day in Emilia-Romagna, and the rising sun is splintering across the budding green valleys of the Apennines. We're heading up into the hills above Maranello, leaving a wide berth for the ambitious, Saturday-morning bicyclists clad in Ferrari-branded, red-and-yellow Lycra jerseys. This is prancing horse country, and tomorrow is the San Marino Grand Prix in nearby Imola, where Ferrari's Michael Schumacher is destined to win his first race of the season.
Yet we hardly feel like we're driving the wrong brand of Italian exotic as we hustle the latest version of Lamborghini's big bull, the Murcielago, from corner to corner. The firm's famed test driver, Valentino Balboni, is riding shotgun, and we soon learn that he isn't interested in having an American journalist explore the edges of blind corners, even though the all-wheel-drive supercar sticks to the tarmac like gnocchi sticks to your ribs. We can hardly blame him. Just yesterday, he marked his thirty-eighth year at Lamborghini, and he clearly intends to make it to thirty-nine. And it's not as if the Murcielago has to be driven in extremis to expose its charms. Just the sight of it trundling through a sleepy village is enough to get plenty of Italian heads to turn.
Discerning eyes can distinguish the Murcielago LP640 from the car that debuted in 2001 and has since sold some 2000 copies. (LP640 represents the car's engine position-longitudinale posteriore-and its horsepower, 640.) A new front bumper, molded of carbon fiber like all the body panels except the steel roof and doors, provides more downforce. The side mirrors are resculpted, and a larger driver's-side air intake accommodates a bigger oil cooler. The rear diffuser's huge center exhaust replaces the previous quad pipes in an acknowledgement that many owners were installing similar setups via the aftermarket.
A bigger bore and a longer stroke for the 60-degree V-12 bump displacement from 6.2 to 6.5 liters and output from 580 hp to 640 hp, just in time to maintain bragging rights over the 612-hp V-12 in Ferrari's new 599GTB Fiorano. The Lamborghini's basic block design carries over, with new heads, intake and exhaust systems, and engine-control electronics. Balboni claims that the engine is "60 percent new."
The V-12 now can be served up under glass, which is a welcome development, since there is no sense in hiding the engine of one of the world's most extroverted supercars. Gear ratios for the six-speed manual or the six-speed e-gear, paddle-shift transmission also were modified. Lamborghini says that, with e-gear, the LP640 reaches 60 mph in only 3.4 seconds, an improvement of 0.4 second over the original Murcielago, and the top speed rises from 205 mph to 211 mph, a claim we had no opportunity to test. Not that Balboni would have let us, anyway.
As before, the rear funnels that flank the engine compartment deploy automatically when a calculus of ambient air temperature, water temperature, and vehicle speed deems them necessary to direct extra cooling air through massive ducts. To step behind an idling LP640 is to be reminded of just how much heat a 640-hp, 6.5-liter V-12 can generate. From eight feet away, it's like a blast furnace. Tie a foil-wrapped chuck roast to the rear air grate, and dinner will be ready in a couple of hours.
The all-wheel-drive system sends 70 percent of torque to the rear axle under most conditions. If you think that real men buy only rear-wheel-drive supercars, get yourself a Ferrari or an Aston Martin. The Lambo's springs, antiroll bars, and dampers have been massaged, and ceramic-composite brakes are newly optional. Although U.S. pricing hasn't been set, you can be sure that the ceramics will cost as much as a Korean economy car.
Pressing the lever at the top of the Murcielago's scissors-style doors and watching them rise toward the sky is always a thrill, even if the process of dumping yourself into the driver's seat is never as graceful a maneuver. Once there, you can run your hands over the new, Chanel handbag-style quilted leather, which lines the seats, headliner, door panels, and center console. The new chairs are wider, but we were still squirming after a couple of hours. As before, the driver's footwell has room only for small feet clad in the narrowest Italian-leather driving shoes, and there's effectively no dead pedal.

I have just ordered a gardenia 'Chuck hayes' and potted it in 8inch pot. The plant looks healthy with several small buds. I came to know this is hard for zone 7. I am in Fairfax, VA. Is is safe to plant this outside in our area, has anyone had any success with this gardenia in ground in Northern Virginia, if so can you share your experiences on caring for this plant. It is hard to maintain gardenia's indoors for longer periods, they are prone to chlorosis and mealy bugs infestation. I would like to maintain this plant indoors in pot until spring and see if I can move this into ground outside or maintain in pot forever. |

Kandhi, I'm a gardenia murdering expert. However, I've managed to keep an "August beauty" alive for nearly 2 yrs now which is a record for me. I keep it in an unheated room that gets a fair amount of morning sun. I also have a Chuck Hayes that I planted in the fall of last yr. It isn't looking well but it's still living. I should have given it more time to acclimate by planting it out earlier in the season. Or at least I should have given it some protection during it's 1st winter. I have a friend that lives near me that planted Chuck Hayes 2 yrs ago in our zn 6b climate and his is doing fine. He did plant it in a protected area tho. C Hayes is reputed to survive zn 7 winters so if I was you, I'd go for it. |
Aka Peggy - Thanks for the info, I will try to plant this in ground in April or May and will take a chance to see. I do not know what other problems gardenia's face when they are planted in ground. I need to check on that also. |
Hi, I'm new to this formum so bear with me. I love gardenia's and wanted to know where in Tennessee to purchase the Chuck Hayes Gardenia. Or, is there a website I can go to and purchase this wonderful sounding plant. |
Hi, Maybe someone on the Tennessee gardening forum could tell you of a source. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tennessee Gardening
Tell me about it! I have one in the house that has chlorosis and spider mites (I think that's what they are - litte tiny webs?) I finally put it outside in the rain. I guess I'll keep it over the summer but it won't survive the winter. I'll never learn. This happens every time I buy a gardenia plant. |
My chuck hayes is doing fine indoors. For chlorosis feed chelated ironite (1tb sp/gal) or epsom salt (1tb sp/8inch pot). Epsome salt you can get it in WalMart and it is cheap. This helps the leaves to stay green. I am also having spider mites problem indoors, I am using organic neem oil (oil+soap) spray seems to help it, but they tend to comeback due to humidity problems indoors. I am just waiting for night time temp to move into 50's so that I can move this pot outdoors. The plant is full of buds that seem to be growing too. I will decide whether to plant this in ground or not in summer. meevans3 - you can buy this plant fron nurcar.com. I bought this from them and they ship good plants. |
Hi -- I found a New Jersey garden center selling Chuck online, but wonder if there's someplace closer, say in Virginia or SC, where I'll be on travel next week. Anybody have any suggestions of sources? Now I'm going to read the archived 'suicide/so you want to grow gardenias, huh?' thread. I probably need to familiarize myself with what's ahead. :-> Thanks, Margot |
Margot, I bet you'd have no problem finding one in a nursery down that way. I got all my gardenia's in North Carolina. You know I do believe my Chuck Hayes survived the winter. It looked kinda rough there for awhile and I was sure it was dead but today I noticed it was perking up and it's putting out some new growth. Yes!! it survived zone 6b!! (planted against a brick foundation on the south side of the house) |
My Chuck Hayes is blooming like crazy now in Arlington. It's about ten feet from the house and gets no protection (except for wilt-pruf). |
I have been growing both Kleim's Hardy & August Beauty for several years. The Kleim's is a pretty mature plant & finally flowered nicely for me this summer. I got a small plant of August Beauty about 2 summers back. It has had serious die-back each winter. I even put up a burlap wind-block last winter. It made just enough new growth last summer to stuggle through the winter. It is coming out of the ground & staying in a pot for a while. As to Chuck Hayes, I am guessing that it is intermediate in its winter hardiness between Kleim's Hardy & August Beauty. Here are my 2 suggestions. Ideally, plant it as early in the growing season as possible - late April or May. And do provide some winter protection the first winter. You might try surrounding it with hay bales & putting an old window pane on top, or possibly even using some of the Dupont Microfoam fabric that local camellia growers have been using for winter protection. Best of luck & please let us know how it performs over the next year. I am eager to try this one in my garden soon, too! Dan |

I have heard that 'Kleim's Hardy" is not as hardy as touted and there are cultivars out there that are superior in their winter hardiness but not as widely known or available. I think there's one called 'griffin's select' and another called 'shooting star' in addition to the 'Chuck Hayes'. That's cool hearing firsthand from someone growing it for more than a couple years in MD. I'm going to try growing the plant soon, i'm in Baltimore City. -Jimmy |

My Chuck Hayes spent the winter indoors, but I hope to actually plant it out this summer. One thing that my supplier reiterated is "plant it where it will not be hit by ANY morning sun in the winter". He says that if it gets winter morning sun, it's very likely to defoliate if not die outright, but if you can avoid that, it should do well in areas like mine (western Fairfax cty). According to him, this factor outweighs any protection one might otherwise get from putting it against an east-facing wall. |
this is 2nd time my chuck hayes is blooming http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/41ae15eaz4c2fbcac/2365/__sr_/bafe.jpg?phwdF2CBO6wQxB9R |
here is the pic. The fragrance is same a other hardy gardenia kliems hardy but not that strong but the flower is beautiful |
My Chuck Hayes looks incredibly healthy. This spring I was sure it wouldn't make it. I wish I had a picture...it's grown quite a bit and is finally flowering for the 1st time. It doesn't get morning sun in the winter but does get sun most of the day. August beauty is also thriving and has been flowering non-stop for nearly 2 months now. YES!!! |
I live in South Jersey and have had two gardenia plants for four years,(don't know varieties). I keep them inside through the winter,not especially a sunny spot,but temp in the 60s. In May or June I put them out on my south- facing deck. I have not fertilized them, but they are green and bear flowers almost continuously in the summer,even sometimes through the winter. One has grown very bushy and I long to plant it outside,facing south,sheltered from harsh winds.We do get heavy frosts and sometimes snow.Not sure of the zone.Anyone done this? |
My gardenias are Veitchii,I've discovered. so they are both back inside despite their size. Planting outside in New Jersey is not an option for this variety. It flowers beautifully twice or more ever year so I'm not complaining. I'll just keep pruning them back as before. |
I bought Gardenias at local Home Depot before. I was told me that they are for outdoor in DC area. I am in Montgomery County. It grew pretty well during the growing season, but it did not survive the winter. I recently ordered Frost Proof Gardenia, August Beauty Gardenia and Kramers Supreme Camellia from Brighter Blooms Nursery online. However, the 2 Gardenias that they shipped are wrong plants. They are definitely Dwarf Gardenia, which has a much narrower leaves and shorter plant. At this moment, I am not sure if the Kramers Supreme Camellia that I ordered is the right one. I will have to wait until spring to see the flower to be sure. I have heard that the plant propagated from a plant that had survived winter locally will survive better in the winter. I am wondering if anyone from this forum is willing to share a few branches from a plant that have survived winter in DC area with me for stem cutting use. Chuck Hayes, Frost Proof, August Beauty are the ones that I am interested. Thanks, James |

Rohit Bhargava's Five Tips to Make Customers Like You
Marketing is difficult in this day and age, 'Likeonomics' author and Vocus webinar presenter Rohit Bhargava told Demand Success attendees last week.
First, corporate greed, "miracle cures," PR spin and false advertising have eroded trust. Second, many brands are competing for customer attention (and customers have become excellent at ignoring marketing). Third, even superior products don't necessarily succeed.
"To survive," says Rohit, "you've got to get people to like you."
How? Here are five principles Rohit recommends to make customers like you:
Principle 1: Show the truth
One of the most in-demand budget hostels in Amsterdam uses the slogan: "Proudly disappointing customers for 40 years."
If that wasn't enough, the hostel even touts its runny eggs and lack of amenities.
How does it remain so popular? Rohit said the slogan does the opposite of sugarcoating; instead, it appeals to what the hostel's target audience (backpackers) want most: a story to tell their friends and family.
Registered for Rohit's Content Unleashed webinar yet? Click here to join!
Principle 2: Tell purposeful stories
Lynda Resnick, the co-owner of POM Wonderful and Fiji Water brands, did something seemingly crazy.
She paid $211,000 at auction for the fake pearls Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis wore in many iconic photos. But in the end, it was worth every penny and more.
Lynda replicated the fake pearls and sold thousands of them, making millions.
"Once Linda had the true replica, it made a difference because people bought into the story," Rohit said.
Principle 3: Be unselfish
Often, a company solicits success stories from their customers and yet requires them to fill out a number of fields, including unreasonable requests like fax numbers.
"We're asking for unreasonable stuff because we're being selfish," Rohit said. "If we can be unselfish, it actually makes a powerful difference."
Weber Grills allowed Rohit to choose between gas and charcoal by providing a simple PDF questionnaire for discovering what he most wanted.
Once Rohit completed the checklist, he brought it into a local dealer and was directed straight to the Weber model that matched his preferences.
"They have no idea what my fax number is," Rohit said. "But they still made the sale."
Principle 4: Keep it simple
Often times, the solutions to your problems are simple. We tend to stand in our own way by overcomplicating.
Going viral would be great, but it's nearly impossible. Zildjian, a cymbal manufacturer, knew this and never even bothered to try.
Instead, it posted video reviews for each individual cymbal they sell, few of which have more than 1,000 views.
They've created more than 6,000 videos, though, earning millions of views and dominating their niche market.
Principle 5: Respect timing
Domino's Pizza recently launched a campaign where it acknowledged the poor quality of its pizza and showed how they fixed it, turning around its sales.
How can a local pizza parlor compete with an ad campaign that cost millions of dollars? React in the moment.
One pizza parlor put up a billboard that read: "We've never had to change our recipe. Because it never sucked."
"This succeeds because it's the right timing," Rohit said.

Aldi Supermarkets is pulling red grapes from its St. Louis-area stores after a black widow spider was found in a container of the fruit.
KMOV-TV reported that one of its photographers made the discovery. Stan Kostecki purchased grapes from the Aldi store in Chesterfield on Wednesday.
Aldi emailed a statement to KMOV saying it is conducting an investigation and offering refunds to those who purchased grapes.
St. Louis Zoo experts said the black widow's bite is venomous, but not lethal, though a bite can make humans sick. The spider is native to Missouri.

Staying at the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM)
Those who make the trip to the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) usually come to experience its famous tree-based canopy walk. But even for those who don't want to endure the semi-strenuous hike to the canopy entrance and back, FRIM can still make for a fascinating weekend trip from Kuala Lumpur, with its campsite to the north a popular spot to host group activities and short trips.
Perah Campsite boasts camping facilities including a kitchen, restrooms, picnic benches and a designated area for fires and barbecues. The site provides seclusion and a natural jungle camp experience without having to compromise on basic necessities. From the entrance of the campsite, terraced slopes lead to the picnic tables and slightly further down are around 10 plots that can hold up to 300 campers at a time. Male restrooms are labelled "Tongkat Ali", for a tree native to Malaysia where the infamous Asian Viagra is derived, while "Kacip Fatimah" (traditionally used for the same purposes for women) indicates the women's.
Tents, sleeping bags and other necessary equipment can be rented directly from the Perah office, but camping is usually reserved for groups. Individuals can however rent basic huts on the campsite for 50 ringgit per night. For those who aren't used to the jungle chorus that usually accompanies a night in Southeast Asian nature, these are the best option anyway. The main hut area is built a few metres away from the campgrounds, connected by a short, suspended walkway through the trees — so you'll get a similar experience to the canopy walk without any stamina required. Kids will love it, as will fully grown men, as I discovered during my trip. A single hut can easily accommodate two adults with accompanying luggage, and each one comes with a wall fan and power socket. Whether for camping or use in the huts, sleeping bags can be rented for 30 ringgit — they're necessary as temperatures drop during the night.
For families with kids, camping can be arranged with the caretaker of the campsite who will arrange activities for two days. Wood shaving, scavenger hunts, bamboo rice making and night walks are part of an educational programme that they can provide, as well as food and drinks.
If you're visiting under your own steam, food isn't an issue if you're not planning on cooking at the campsite. A picnic area is located next to Sungai Kroh, where a cafeteria serves pre-cooked meals. At the center of FRIM on Jalan Foxworthy, just as the walk to the Canopy Walkway entrance begins, is another canteen that serves a variety of simple Malay dishes with rice. Cost of a meal and drinks is less than 7 ringgit.
As well as mountain-biking and trekking, less arduous activities like visiting a Malay tea-house, Malay traditional houses and taking a dip in the numerous waterfalls that dot the reserve can all be enjoyed. Rumah Terengganu was relocated from Pulau Rusa (in northeast Malaysia) and reconstructed in FRIM without a single nail; the collection of traditional houses is to be expanded over time and currently includes just two, with the other from Melaka.
A short walk into the jungle across the main road from the picnic area leads you to a hidden waterfall, a favourite among kids and adults for a refreshing dip. This is one of the easier waterfalls to reach but just as shady and fun as the others.
As a side note, as of January 2012, FRIM has revised their fees and charges for rental and visitation of their facilities and activities. The canopy walkway is now 10 ringgit for foreigners and 5 ringgit for Malaysians while entrance to the reserve itself is 5 ringgit for foreigners and 1 ringgit for Malaysians. A full list of the new charges can be found here.

What is the treatment for thyroid disorders?
Comment on this
Read 1 Comment
Thyroid disorders can be treated by medications or, in some cases, surgery. Treatment will depend on the particular disease of the thyroid. Thyroid medicationsMedications can be given to replace the missing thyroid hormone in hypothyroidism. Synthetic thyroid hormone is given in pill form by mouth. When hyperthyroidism is present, medications can be used to decrease production of thyroid hormone or prevent its release from the gland. Other medications can be given to help manage the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as increased heart rate. If hyperthyroidism is not controlled with medications, radioactive ablation can be performed. Ablation involves giving doses of iodine labeled with radioactivity that selectively destroys the thyroid tissue. Thyroid surgery
Comment on this
Surgery can be used to remove a large goiter or a hyperfunctioning nodule within the gland. Surgery is necessary when there is a possibility of thyroid cancer. If the thyroid gland is removed entirely, the individual will need to take synthetic thyroid hormone for life. What is the outlook for thyroid disorders?In most cases, thyroid disorders can be well managed with medical treatment and are not life threatening. Some conditions may require surgery. The outlook for most people with thyroid cancer is also good, although patients with thyroid cancer that has spread throughout the body have a poorer prognosis. REFERENCE: American Cancer Society.

DOXA 2013: Occupy The Movie director Corey Ogilvie says protesters had significant effect
Vancouver filmmaker Corey Ogilvie says he and producer Andrew Halliwell made a documentary about the Occupy movement because they were afraid no one else would do it.
Occupy The Movie, which opens the DOXA Documentary Film Festival on Friday (May 3) at the Vancouver Playhouse (600 Hamilton Street), contextualizes the Occupy movement and features interviews with left-wing intellectuals Noam Chomsky and Cornel West, journalist Chris Hedges, and many others.
In a phone interview with the Straight from Toronto, Ogilvie said that Hedges provided an intellectual foundation for the Occupy movement by successfully challenging President Barack Obama in court over legislation allowing for the indefinite detention of American citizens suspected of communicating with terrorists.
"Occupiers were labelled as terrorists in the FBI documents," Ogilvie pointed out. "It's in plain sight now. It's not a conspiracy theory."
He noted that some in the mainstream media portrayed protesters as not only terrorists, but also as fanatics, drug users, and Marxists. But Ogilvie insisted that Occupiers were not interested in a violent revolution.
"They don't want a socialist, Marxist, Communist state," Ogilvie claimed. "They just want a fair playing field."
Most importantly, he said, the Occupy protests helped make the public aware of the unfairness in taxation and distribution of wealth.
He was interested to learn that on the eve of a provincial election, both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have supported boosting corporate taxes and personal-income taxes on high-income earners.
"Hopefully, politicians here took note," Ogilvie said. "With the conservatives in the U.S., it's ridiculous—no more taxes—it's such a broken record. There's no such thing as balance with them."
The film also screens on Tuesday (May 7) at Vancity Theatre (1181 Seymour Street) and next Saturday (May 11) at the Cinematheque (1131 Howe Street).
Yes lets make all the people that work hard and long hours to make a good living pay more,so the poor non working or lazy can have the same for little or no work.
What incentive is there to make more money if you get TAXED more then the already high tax % .
And if you do the MATH when the tax is 40% and you make 1000 you pay less than if you made 10000,GET THE IDEA.
Breaking the law is never justified,and I hope that the people that had jobs are fired by their employers as the protest was against them and their money.
Asking for a level playing field doesn't make you a lazy hippy. You're just spouting Fox News cartoon talking points that were hilariously outdated five years ago without a wisp of critical thought.
I guess the huge numbers of unemployed in Europe are all suddenly lazy spongers?
minimum wage is 7.25 an hour
40 hour = 290
A month= 1160
A year =13, 920
Do the math and try living off that.
Crime, Debt, illegal drug sales of course none of that has to do with a shitty standard of living.
People are just lazy?
No, they're not lazy , they're just intelligent and tired of the disproportionate bullshit.

Breakfast Topic: Is your main a former alt? {WoW}
Oct 26th 2010 8:59AM Ooohh yes.. sounds like the story of my life as WoW player. I started playing WoW since vanilla as a hunter (The 1st expansion was out when he was about lvl 40), reached 70 and then i noticed that tanks had much more fun since it's WAY more easy to find groups. So i started my female Draenei warrior and i must say it was a pain up to lvl 20, after that it was much easy and enjoyable. I took her to lvl 70 also and since then she became my main, and my poor hunter was left there in full Kara gear until my tank reached lvl 80 and had a ton of T10 gear.
About 2 months ago i decided to revisit my good old hunter and took him to 80, and now... i'm having tons of fun and doin near 10k DPS in ICC, so i guess, like the phoenix... he was reborned from the ashes with renewed strength, well, Agility to be fair! ;)

Cocoa Man in Federal Custody For Producing Pornographic Images of a Child Relative
Orlando, FL - United States Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces the arrest of Anthony Truett Price (46, Cocoa), on a federal complaint charging him with production of child pornography and possession of child pornography. If convicted on all counts, Price faces a minimum term of 15 years up to 30 years in federal prison for the production charge and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for the possession charge.
According to the complaint, on August 31, 2011, agents with the Cocoa Beach Child Exploitation Task Force (CETF) initiated a criminal investigation into the production of child pornography by Price. CETF agents learned that Price had been involved in a recent sexual assault of a six-year-old girl in Cocoa. CETF agents obtained computer and other digital media that revealed Price possessed images of child pornography, and that he had produced images of child pornography involving child victims in the Cocoa area.
On September 1, 2011, agents arrested Price at the Brevard County Jail, where he was being held on a charge related to the sexual assault of the six-year-old child. He is now in the custody of the U.S. Marshals in Orlando. A complaint charges that a defendant has committed a violation of the federal criminal laws, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case was investigated by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigation's (ICE HSI). It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Tanya Davis Wilson.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
This case was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to identify, investigate, and arrest those who prey on children, including human traffickers, international sex tourists, Internet pornographers, and foreign-national predators whose crimes make them deportable. ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

It's an awakening.
Hmmm. Interestingly that ties right into a line of reasoning I'm bashed for. All the time, the cynics talk about how God is evil because He allows evil to occur. I argue that whatever evil happens to us here on Earth, has little to no effect on our true selves... often called our "soul" or "spirit" selves.

In the early and mid-'70's, Trojan was well-known for building a quality, well-designed series of motoryachts. This F-36 Tri-Cabin provides two private staterooms, plenty of lounging room topsides and a classic profile!
Exterior & Interior Accommodations
This original version of Trojan's F-36 Tri-Cabin included two cabin entryways -- one from an aft cockpit, through the aft stateroom and another leading down from the bridgedeck into the salon. This created a versatile boat, suitable for dockside entertaining, light-duty fishing and offering private staterooms fore and aft.
The bridgedeck features a double-wide reversible helm seat, plus two long bench seats (each with extensive storage below), one aft on the bridge and another running along the starboard side of the bridgedeck. This area also includes a convenient cocktail table, mounted into the floor, completing this excellent entertaining area. Fully forward, there is a deck seat molded across the front of the cabin.
As mentioned previously, the aft cockpit of the F-36 adds to the versatility of this model. Just a few short steps down from the bridge, this cockpit is approximately four feet long, allowing additional room for deck chairs or a table, or fishing area. There is an access door leading from the cockpit, into the aft cabin.
From the cockpit, enter the aft stateroom and find twin berths, port and starboard. There is a large hanging locker, dresser drawers and a private vanity and shower compartment.
Move forward into the salon & galley area and enjoy a room that has been richly updated(new upholstery). This room features a large L-shaped settee in the forward starboard area, with a circular cocktail or dining table attached to the floor. The settee will convert to sleep two. In the forward port corner. The spacious galley wraps around the port aft corner of the salon featuring plenty of cabinet space.
The salon is also accessed by a primary hatchway, leading down from the bridgedeck.
Step down forward and enter the v-berth stateroom. Adjacent to this room, and also accessible from the salon, is the forward head compartment, complete with vanity and head.

Methodist Hospitals was honored to receive the Rural Indiana Smoke-Free Environment (RISE) Award. This award is a joint award presented annually by the Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Agency and the Indiana Rural Hospital Association to healthcare facilities that had implemented a smoke free policy prohibiting any smoking by staff, patients and visitors in hospital buildings, on the grounds and in vehicles 24 hours a day. The award recognizes management and staff that have taken the necessary steps to lead Hoosiers toward a healthier Indiana. The term rural is loosely defined in order to recognize all healthcare facilities committed to a smoke free environment.
Methodist Hospitals campuses became completely smoke free on November 20, 2008."We take our responsibility to promote healthy lifestyles seriously," said Methodist Hospitals CEO/President Ian McFadden. "By having all of our facilities smoke free inside and out, we are taking a large step forward in providing an environment that is conducive to good health for all."

"Blessed Jordan, worthy successor of St Dominic, in the early days of the Order, your example and zeal prompted many men and women to follow Christ in the white habit of Our Holy Father. As patron of Dominican vocations, continue to stimulate talented and devoted men and women to consecrate their lives to God. Through your intercession, lead to the Order of Preachers generous and sacrificing persons, willing to give themselves fervently to the apostolate of Truth. Help them to prepare themselves to be worthy of the grace of a Dominican vocation. Inspire their hearts to become learned of God, that with firm determination they might aspire to be 'champions of the Faith and true lights of the world'. Amen."

The Mets traded away good prospects, just Milledge and Escobar were the only superstar prospects. Escobar had peaked as a prospect when he was traded but wasn't viewed as a total bust yet, then he tore his ACL and his career was basically over. Yusmeiro Petit was ranked 69 in the 2006 BA Top 100, his ranking took a hit from 2005 when it was clear he has a polished prospect but viewed strictly as a #3/innings eater type guy, still a good prospect. Gomez was ranked 60th, had the speed and glove but was a tools guy who didn't pan out. Guerra had a ton of upside before the Mets ruined him by rushing him along and Humber was considered solid also.
I wasn't necessarily talking about top 100 BA prospects. I was talking about all of the raw latin kids that were playing A ball as teenagers and moving up despite mediocre results. Gomez/FMart/Flores/Marte/Guerra and it feels like a half dozen names that I forget now. Flores and Marte are STILL only 20.
