Engine question. His engine is spitting out his spark plugs. This has happened to him 3 times, all to different plugs. All of a sudden there is a BOOM, and his car sounds like a German tank. Likely problem is that last time plugs were replace, they were not put in tight enough and have worked their way loose over time. Tighten the plugs up, and it should be fine.

2007 News
Weather can't stop runners
March 4, 2007
BY AMY LAVALLEY Post-Tribune
Nothing like cold, snow and a slippery trail to bring local law enforcement agencies together. "It's nice to have all the agencies together and interacting like this," said Joe James, a member of the fire department serving the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Running Saturday in the 5K Foot Pursuit at Sunset Hill County Park, James said he liked the event's "cohesive atmosphere," and the chance to raise money for the American Red Cross and Concerns of Police Survivors, or C.O.P.S. In all, 250 people -- including police and fire representatives from communities throughout Lake and Porter counties as well as Chicago -- participated in the second annual trail run and walk, sponsored by the Porter County Sheriff's Office. After Friday's blustery weather, and with sporadic flurries Saturday, there was no doubt runners and walkers were in for an adventure. Temperatures in the 20s didn't help. "The course is snowy, icy, muddy -- just about all the conditions you could ask for," said Scott Hartz, a sheriff's department corporal who organized the event. The conditions didn't quash the spirit of the participants. Supporters for Porter's fire department wore red plastic fire hats; a handful of sheriff's department runners had on black- and white-striped inmate shirts. One runner wore a metallic foam beer keg. Most, though, stuck with gloves and stocking caps. "I'm just trying to keep in shape," admitted Aaron Pollock, a patrolman with the Griffith Police Department. He'd done other 5K runs, but not the Foot Pursuit. "I've never done a trail run. It will be more challenging, especially with the snow and ice. You have to be a little more careful." Sheriff David Lain came out to show his support for the event -- dressed in jeans, not running gear. "Maybe next year. I'm just getting back to my routine. The last 18 months, I didn't have time to get to the gym," he said, referring to his successful campaign for office. He joked about the "perfect weather" the department has had two years in a row for the run. "We think this is a great family event," he said. "The worse the weather is, the more it gives people to talk about."
2007 Shirts
Yes the course is deep deep in snow. But not to worry, if it doesn't melt down enough with the weather then I already have some "mechanical options" to remove it down to a runable level.
Practice run Saturday Feb 17 at 10:00 am. Come out and preview the course! All skill levels welcome, and both a "fast" group and "slow" group will be lead. Meet in the parking lot at Sunset Hill by 10:00 am.
To help cope with the possible cold weather, three types of hot soups have now been added to the post race food.
The Foot Pursuit has been added to both the local

AMERICA/EL SALVADOR - Transparency in everything, because people must have confidence
San Salvador (Agenzia Fides) - The Bishops' Conference of El Salvador has ruled on the government's initiative to propose a truce among gangs to end the violence and said that any attempt regarding social peace must be based on transparency. The occasion was the first meeting of the public security, which was also attended by the Catholic Church.
"We must not make an initial mistake, because it is a delicate process, everything must be transparent - said the auxiliary Bishop of San Salvador, His Exc. Mgr.Gregorio Rosa Chavez, in his usual press conference on Sunday - . people need confidence, need to believe, and it is our fault if they do not believe because we are not honest, because many think that this situation has no solution".
The note sent to Fides Agency by a local source reports that the authorities of public security announced last week that the revival of the truce among the gangs will try to unify the various sectors of civil society, churches, NGOs, associations and unions, in order to stop the violence in the Country. There will be a meeting in coming days where those responsible for the United Nations Program for Development (UNDP) and the Fundación Nacional para el Desarrollo (Funde) will also be present.

Walking through a vineyard in Argentina's Uco Valley near Mendoza one morning, I ran into Michel Rolland, the world's most renowned and controversial winemaker. Dressed like a rancher in 501's, boots, and a button-down shirt, a leather hat sheltering his creased face, he was striding between rows of vines as a cadre of supplicants hung on every word. The villain of the polemic movie Mondovino, which portrays him as a formulaic opportunist who ignores the vicissitudes of place, Rolland is a consultant to more than 100 producers across the continents, from Bangalore to Howell Mountain. His wines do tend to have common characteristics—lush fruit, velvety mouthfeel, and a purple-black color like the darkness of a well—but those characteristics are prized by countless consumers, including the oracular Robert Parker.
In Argentina, Rolland is the part-owner and driving force behind Clos de los Siete, a project unlike any I've seen. On 2,100 acres of previously unplanted land, he and five partner families have created a vineyard the size of a university. The partners contribute grapes to a million-bottle blend made by Rolland, and they've each built signature facilities in the midst of the vines to produce their own brands. These are major names like Rothschild and Dassault, and they've invested heavily.
Clos de los Siete is the most striking of the new enterprises springing up around Mendoza, a city of 110,000 nestled against the Andes, but it's only one of dozens. Wine-making talent and investment money have been streaming in from Europe and beyond, dramatically altering Argentina's vinous landscape with hundreds of acres of new vineyards, several dozen new wineries, and entire categories of new wines. With that have come ambitious restaurants and stylish hotels, the trappings of a wine region that draws well-heeled travelers. Many are Americans, which shouldn't be surprising. We're drinking twice as much Argentinean wine today as we did three years ago, an astonishing rise. And Mendoza, where the dollar carries far more heft than in Margaux or Montalcino, sits just far enough off the beaten path to feel novel but not precarious.
The last time I visited the country, in 1995, the vast majority of its bodegas were making rough, uninteresting wine for the domestic market, and Mendoza felt like an Argentinean version of the Wild West. The winemakers spoke only Spanish, had barely traveled, wore overalls, and stubbornly ignored modern enological techniques. They had even less of a connection with the great wine regions of the world than their wines did.
But Argentina has always had a love affair with Western Europe; you can't get out of the airport in Buenos Aires without hearing how charmingly European you're sure to find that city. Returning now, I had the sense that a wine region had been pulled from the Pyrenees or the Dolomites and dropped into this panoramic setting of jagged peaks and cloudless skies. I met with Frenchmen, Italians, and Spaniards, and drank bottle after bottle of the fruits of their labors that I knew would sell well around the world. "Today, you can taste 400 good wines in Argentina," Rolland told me. "That was hardly the case even 10 years ago. Maybe we [Europeans] helped them go faster."
Everywhere I went, I saw further evidence of this transcontinental drift. At the baronial complex that houses the Bodega Vistalba winery, I ate the cuisine of renowned Burgundian chef Jean-Paul Bondoux: sautéed sweetbreads, medallions of rabbit, and other standards of his Gallic upbringing. At Cheval des Andes—a spin-off of the celebrated Bordeaux château Cheval Blanc—I toured cellars stocked with Krug and Dom Pérignon. In the Uco Valley, I gaped at a strikingly modern winery complex, Bodegas Salentein, founded by a Dutch tycoon. It includes a lavish art museum and a gift shop that sells a $750 set of wine aromatics in thimble-size vials.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Kelatwang, Teresa Sebueng URN etd-08012005-111712 Document Title The acceptability of medicinal plant gardens: Healers' perspective from Nkomanzi East Region Degree M Inst Agrar ( Agricultural Extension) Department Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof G H Duvel Committee Chair Keywords
- botanical drug industry
- rural development social aspects South Africa
- Healers South Africa
- medicinal plants South Africa
- plants cultivated South Africa
Date 2003-04-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract The use and trade in medicinal plant products in South Africa is a cultivating sector of rural development. In order to conserve these plants and develop sustainable production, policies to promote domestication have been adopted. However, users view cultivated plants with scepticism. The key for policy makers is to understand how users respond to scarcity of species and whether domestication can be a solution. The main purpose of the study is to give an overview of variables that influence the rate of adoption of medicinal plant gardens. The last discussion will investigate whether domestication of species is an appropriate solution to conservation, or whether the intervention should be promoted as a local economic development option.The research took the form of a case study approach focusing on a specific area, with participatory and qualitative phases providing the basis for a semi-structured interview schedule, designed to assess the healer's acceptability of medicinal plant gardens, their comparative perception of cultivated and collected plants in their natural habitat/environment, and constraints in the establishment of medicinal plant gardens.
Results indicated that:
The type of healer influences acceptability of medicinal plant gardens; •Healers use medicinal plant gardens to supply urban demand and provide income;
• Healer and client perceptions of medicinal plant potency influence acceptability of cultivated plants;
•Type of healer influences the environment in which species are collected.
• Ancestral belief system forms an integral component of healers behavioural pattern.
The study concludes that:
Local scarcity of medicinal plants alone does not stimulate demand for nurseries; • Rituals associated with some treatments influence collection, storage and cultivation patterns;
• Policy makers also need to promote domestication for commercial production and to investigate alternatives for propagating the population of some plant species in their natural habitat/environment to cater for specific needs of healers and
• Interview responses, although useful, cannot always be taken at face value/i>.

I've had a little look around the 1911 Welsh Census and viewed a couple of transcripts and found some interesting information about some of my ancestors. On Sunday my daughter and I were talking about a branch of her family and we decided to take a look for them on the 1911 England census.
The transcript has quite a bit of information on it – the head of the family, his wife, length of marriage, 4 sons, 1 daughter, a visitor, a son-in-law. Two of the sons were William and Wellie and we were discussing if indeed there might be two sons named William in the same family. I said I'd look at the original to see if a) the name was indeed Wellie (should have been Willie) and b) check out another potential transcription error. I was pleasantly surprised to see other information on the original page for the household. The number of children born to the marriage is listed – in this case 17!! It also lists the number still living (9) and the number that have died (8), which prompted my daughter to say "I'm missing some living children then!"
On my own research line, one of the children I found on the 1901 Welsh census, is still living with his step-grandparents and it indicates that he was born in Victoria, Melbourne, Australia. I knew he was born in Australia, but this narrows it down for me.
I don't know why I didn't pay attention to what was contained on the census. I'm usually far more aware of that kind of thing. I guess I was just too excited to see it!

pulling for you. congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
I was so happy to find out that you're on the squad again! You are beautiful and extremely talented. I just started watching DCC last year and I was always making sure they never cut Mackenzie. You also did an AMAZING job on improving your kicks and I am so proud of you! Congratulations!
You were my favorite when you first tried out to make the DCC and I'm so glad you are still here! I was rooting for you when they told you you had to stretch to get your kicks up – I knew you could do it!!! Been viewing the CMT shows that are just now airing for this year's squad and while I have not seen you on air yet, I had to get online to see if you made the squad again cause I was getting worried! Love your new hair cut too – you go girl!!!!
Mackenzie Lee is my favorite DALLAS Cheerleader. You are all very beautiful and talented women. But I will always love Mackenzie Lee. Truly a gorgeous goddess. The D.C.C. ; they have a power over us . They really are America's sweet hearts! (Especially the blond girls)

I have a Philips/Magnavox rear projection TV, Model PTV840. I am having convergence problems. Bowed screen Red/Blue/Green colors out of alignment. Cannot adjust this within the Menu under Convergence. Is there a repair kit of parts that I can purchase and install myself that will fix this problem? Thank You for any help you can offer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You will need 2 stk392-160. Replace on large heat sink. Also check all fusible resistors around the STK's/heatsinks. |
I replaced both STKs. They were STK392-110. I also replaced all twelve resistors. Got them from an online store. Magnavox Convergence Repair Kit TV-KIT-008. All the same issues though. What else could it be. Any suspect fuses that may be bad. |

Games: The Movies You Play
LOS ANGELES -- Video games, revenues of which are growing faster than those of either the music or movie industries, are booming in large part because game developers have borrowed so liberally from the makers of music and movies.
These days, video games are a fusion of music and movies, a clash of entertainment culture that replaces Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts with game players who become the stars. Companies spend millions of dollars developing slick-sounding games with smooth graphics, and then market them with high-priced trailers.
Along with beta testing, trailers are a staple of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which features a never-ending mix of live action, virtual game play and wicked special effects. Just inside the entrance, the scene instantly turns from security hell to video game heaven. Huge multi-screen televisions line the walls, running trailers for every new game from developers like Activision and LucasArts.
The Getaway, one of Sony's newest games, is a Hollywood movie come to the game console, with 60 minutes of live action and a virtual recreation of 30 miles of London's streets using digital cameras, something almost unheard of several years ago.
"We have a game that we think will appeal to both film and game audiences," said Brandon McNamera, director of The Getaway. "We want to get moviegoers who might never have thought about buying a video game before."
Today, games like John Madden Football and other sports games routinely digitally encode the movements of real players to increase the game graphics.
Those graphics are then put into an event trailer. For The Getaway, the preview features a two-minute story following an ex-gangster's search for his daughter, who was kidnapped by his old boss. Of course, it's not a gangster flick without the good-guy cop out to bring down the entire crime syndicate.
Where Sony's trailers were slick, Nintendo's previews of Resident Evil Zero, Metroid Prime and Eternal Darkness brought the house down with their classic feel. But whether retro, cartoon or live action, it's the power of the new game consoles that has turned this once small industry into a $9.5 billion juggernaut that is growing faster than either the music or movie industry.
In the basement of the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, Nintendo fans cheered when the trailers of the new Mario (Donkey Kong) and Link (The Legend of Zelda) games hit the screen. It's a passion not seen in any other media circles, where the journalists, game junkies and media wonks consider themselves as much a part of the design process as the mega-corporations themselves.
Like George Lucas attracting millions of Star Wars fans merely by releasing a new movie, Nintendo has a cult-like following. In fact, Mario's new game knocked Grand Theft Auto 3 out of its No. 1 spot on the sales charts.
"Nintendo's belief that constant innovation and the highest-quality games are essential in truly serving our players has fueled our prosperity in video gaming for two decades," said Peter MacDougall, Nintendo of America's executive vice president. "This year, as we combine new adventures starring our key franchise characters, and witness the dawning of the connectivity generation, we're delivering on that philosophy like never before."

Aston Martin DB9 Volante full 9 point review
The Volante is powered by a 470bhp V12 that pulls like a train at low revs and has 443lb ft of pulling strength on tap to make overtaking effortless. Buyers can choose from a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic with manual override. This swaps ratios smoothly, but feels a little flat-footed when you want to push on.
Ride & Handling
On smooth, fast roads the Volante feels composed and grippy, but throw in some surface variations and it fidgets. In addition, while the ride is more forgiving than the coupé's, bumps and broken surfaces cause shudders through the steering wheel.
The Italians aren't alone in making fabulous-sounding 12-cylinder engines. The Aston sounds as good as any and, with the roof down, there's less to separate you from the glorious howl it emits under acceleration. The 19-inch wheels kick up lots of road noise, though, and you aren't that well protected from buffeting with the roof down.
Buying & Owning
The DB9 Volante is seriously pricey when compared with similarly fast drop-tops, such as the Porsche 911 Cabriolet. The Aston will be seriously expensive to run, too, although resale values shouldn't be any worse than those of most rivals. Such poor fuel economy does mean you'll have to stop frequently for fuel, though.
Quality & Reliability
Aston's V12 engine has proved itself in the DB9 coupé and Vanquish, although some strange warning messages flashed up during our test. The gearboxes should also be reliable. The cabin looks great, but some of the materials used and the standard of fit and finish is a disappointment in places.
Safety & Security
Volvo helped Aston develop the DB9, and it has a full range of electronic traction and braking aids, plus four airbags. In the event of a rollover, the front screen can take twice the car's weight, and protection hoops pop up behind the rear head restraints. A security tracker system is fitted.
Behind The Wheel
The dash is covered with matt wood and aluminium, while the rest of the cabin is trimmed with leather and carpet. The front seats are fully adjustable and superbly supportive. Forward visibility is fine but the rear window is miniscule, which makes reversing a matter of faith with the roof up. Minor dash switches are also small and difficult to read.
Space & Practicality
The Volante retains the back seats of the hard-top DB9, but don't go thinking these can comfortably accommodate people. With a couple of average-sized adults up front, rear legroom is virtually non-existent. You're better off using the space for luggage that the smallish boot can't swallow, although the backrests don't fold flat to extend the luggage bay.
As you would expect, given the price tag, climate control, powered seat adjustment, satellite-navigation and a terrific stereo are all standard. This still leaves the DB9 missing some luxury kit that is fitted to cheaper rivals, such as the Mercedes SL55 AMG. However, for a price, Aston will happily customise the car with any extra you can think of.

text: you asked... Q&A: I have lupus. What should I know before getting pregnant? I have lupus -- are there any precautions I need to take before getting pregnant? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I have lupus -- are there any precautions I need to take before getting pregnant? Luckily, studies have shown that pregnancy doesn't affect the long-term course of lupus, although flare-ups are more common after you deliver. It's also extremely unlikely that baby will be born with the disease, no matter how severe you own case. That said, it's best for you and baby if you can conceive when your disease is in a quiet period (if it's at all possible to plan this). Make sure to let your OB know you have lupus so she can get in touch with your regular doctor, if need be. It's good if both doctors are on the same page, to ensure you and baby stay as healthy as possible throughout your pregnancy.Once you're pregnant, it's especially important for your doctors to keep close tabs on you. Lupus puts you at an increased risk for preeclampasia, a serous disorder that can damage the kidneys, liver, brain, heart, and eyes. So you and your doctor should be on the lookout for telltale symptoms including headaches, rapid weight gain, and swelling in your hands and/or face. If you're diagnosed with preeclampasia, you may need to stay in the hospital for monitoring, and baby may even have to be delivered early.While moms with lupus deliver healthy babies all the time, it is important to know that patients with lupus or other autoimmune disorders are also at a higher risk of miscarrying. That's why proper treatment is so important for moms-to-be. Keep the lines of communication open between you and your doc. Colleen Canney Q&A: I have lupus. What should I know before getting pregnant? I also have Lupus and just gave birth to my first son 5 months ago. Before getting pregnant (which was a challenging many years) we had to make sure my Lupus was under control. We also met with my OB, perinatalogist to go over any concerns or things to expect that might happen during the pregnancy. We had a very good pregnancy and made it to 38 weeks! The only thing that they predicted that happened was that women with Lupus tend to have smaller babies....my babe was only 5 pounds 4 oz. Good luck! pegbaden | Q&A: I have lupus. What should I know before getting pregnant? In addition to advice here I would check out a site called butyoudontlooksick. It is for people with invisible illnesses In the forums there is a section on pregnancy and parenting. Lots of good advice weather you have lupus or anything else. For anyone living in NC I can personally recommend going to Chapel Hill and seeing a high risk OB there. They are great and I love them. beadgirl1981 | Want to participate?

A tough battle is looming in the race for Narok North parliamentary seat as outgoing MP William ole Ntimama faces stiff competition from two youthful leaders.
Ntimama is set to contend with TNA's Moitalel ole Kenta and KNC's Meitamei Olol Dapash.Speaking to voters in separate rallies, Ntimama urged them to back his bid for a last term since he has represented them since 1988.
However, Kenta said Ntimama should retire from politics and pave way for new leadership.
"This region is yearning for fresh leadership that is going to propel it forward. I call upon locals to elect me and I will bring in new and vibrant leadership that has been lacking in the past," he said.
Dapash pledged to unite all the communities living in the region and ensure equitable allocation of resources.

Installation Trends: Streamlined Sportscasting
May 1, 2008 12:00 PM, Daniel Keller
Stadium broadcasting systems shrink in size as they grow in capabilities.
The Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, is a prime example of the new face of live production in a sporting venue. Dallas-based Accent Audio/Video recently equipped the stadium with a Broadcast Pix Slate 2100 switching-and-production system, which is used within the park to transmit live video and replays onto the stadium's large-screen Daktronics outfield display. The Slate 2100 integrates multiview monitoring, a character generator, a clip store, and aspect-ratio conversion into a single workstation — connecting via fiber to four live-production trucks, live cameras, and other video feeds throughout the venue and outputting high-definition video to the Daktronics display.
As Chuck Morgan — the Rangers' vice president of entertainment and special events — explains, the Slate workstation allowed his production team to replace a control room full of legacy products from the 1990s.
"At the outset, it was a practical decision," Morgan says. "Our vintage Grass Valley switcher was no longer supported, so we were due for a system upgrade in any case. Going with the Slate 2100 enabled us to eliminate several other pieces of legacy technology as well. We had a separate clip machine, separate computer graphics machine, separate still store, and separate digital effects generator. The Slate combines all those technologies into a single unit."
Morgan says that the ability to perform the facility upgrade quickly and with minimum complications were other factors that made the decision an easy one.
"The installation was really a pretty simple project, and we were only down for a total of three days," he says. "We took the inputs from the Grass Valley switcher, spliced a few cables, and plugged everything into the Slate. Our control-room wiring scheme was pretty well planned to begin with, which made things easy. Honestly, the biggest challenge was probably just deciding where to put the unit."
Three new Sony 40in. LCD screens were added in the control room for monitoring purposes, but Morgan says that number will probably grow when the rest of the system is upgraded to HD.
"We've still got about 35 or 40 CRT monitors, which we'll eventually replace," he says. "We really don't need them anymore, since you can view most of it on the Slate and the Sony monitors. In fact, one of our maintenance guys remarked that once we get rid of the CRTs, it will probably cut down pretty dramatically on our air-conditioning bills."

I just stripped the paint off this door. All of the interior doors are the same, but only this one was painted. House was built in the 1930s. What wood is this?
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like rotary cut plywood for the panels (often fir). Not enough grain detail on the frame, but possibly fir also. |
There may be something regional at play, but in my area if a door looks like that, it's fir. Nice stripping job, by the way :-) Karin L |
- Posted by maureeninmd (My Page) on Thu, Oct 13, 11 at 16:48
Thank you both. I suppose these are very common, 30s doors. Do you think they were meant to be painted or were they usually stained? Some of them have a varnish-like substance on them. I plan on leaving them as-is of course, because I am pretty lazy. Karin - Thanks. I used soygel after reading about it on this forum. |
Painted. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Thu, Oct 13, 11 at 21:23
The house I lived in til I was 6 had doors like this, as did my neighbor's houses. They were fir, and they were shellacked and orangish. Our kitchen cabinets were the same and had dutchmen. The hardware for both was vaguely deco. (this house was on the market recently and the door were still there and still orange) |
- Posted by sacto_diane (My Page) on Thu, Oct 13, 11 at 21:38
My first take when I saw was Fir as well. The grain in the panels match the 5 panel Fir doors in my Bungalow. As a contrary opinion, they are not always painted. All the doors in my bungalow were stained. A significant population of the bungalows in my town have Doug Fir trim and were stained. Wood species in older homes tend to be very regional and redwood and Fir were very common out west. |

I'd agree with fir, since it was quite common in builder's catalogs then...in my area there are a lot of 'rowhouse' apartments built around the 20s, and many have doors like that--every one I've been in has been shellacked/varnished. |

I am in Maryland. None of the doors is orangey though - they all have a dark stain. They weigh less than they look. I've touched things up successfully with "mahogany" stain. The soygel really lightened this one up. The french doors leading into the living and dining rooms are different though, as are the exterior doors. I'll get pictures tomorrow so that I may be further enlightened :) |

Those doors would be Douglas Fir, and were quite often stained as well as painted |
A rather ugly rotary cut plywood veneer on the panels to bother staining. The figure of the wood is nothing that even appeared in nature until rotary cutting was developed, mainly for plywood manufacture. |
I would be a bit torn as to what to do with those doors. Fir does range from the beautiful edge grain that you have on the door frame, the pursuit of which has cost me (and still will cost me) countless hours of paint stripping, to the far less attractive face grain that shows on your panel. Contrary to Brickeeye, I would say that this grain does show up with ordinary cutting - we have several pieces of original moulding that look just like that. Annoyingly, of course it never shows up on all the pieces of a given door or window frame... usually just one of the pieces. So the how-to-finish question hovers forever and that is why we live with a lot of stripped and now totally unfinished fir... while we "decide." Much depends on whether you are a historical purist or not. I'm not - I love old stuff and old wood, but I mix it up to my preferences. One approach I would consider for a door like yours is putting some nice wallpaper just on the panel. Since that can be removed, it's something that can be reversed or changed at will. Or, pretend it's a french door and put a curtain on it. Much depends, of course, on where it is going to go. Karin L |
Hi Maureen, you wrote I've touched things up successfully with "mahogany" stain. Would you please share what sort of product or technique you used to do that? I have a door with a scratch that is perturbing my husband, and I'd like to figure out how to touch it up. Thanks! |
The photos comparing plain sliced veneer and rotary cut veneer on this site suggest that you have a rotary cut: |

All I can say is, I'm extremely impressed with the paint removal job you did. How many hours per side, would you say? Or, how many applications of soy gel. Did one do the trick, or was it multiple go-rounds? I guess it would depend on how many layers of paint there were, but I'm just curious. I just got done stripping a door that had at least 4 layers of paint plus shellac. I was starting to get really philosophical towards the end, like "Gee I could have gone to carpentry school and built a door from scratch in the time it took me to strip this." But it was my first ever job so mabye I was just slow. |

Karin - this door is on the upstairs bathroom. Only the inside was painted, which always bothered me. This house is surrounded by tress and can be sort of dark. So these "ugly" doors do not really stand out as anything other than, well, doors. This house is not that old and is not special in any way. La koala - It's just stain, miniwax brand, found in the paint aisles of any hardware store. I just slap it on and wipe it off. I'm working on this door today. Then some coats of Poly I think. I am a lazy novice! Slateberry - Thanks. I think I used the soygel twice, then a third time in the crevices. Maybe I could have gotten away with one but I was impatient, The bottle said to leave it on for a long time, covered in plastic if necessary. I was anxious to get the door back on but then realized my husband and teenaged sons probably didn't even notice that the door was missing. |

I'd go for a 120mm fork personally. The ramp up on a 120mm will make the fork feel more like a 100mm + a bit more. I run a Fox F120 on my hardtail thats designed for a 100mm fork. I kept feeling like I was blowing through the travel on 100mm but 120mm feels great and although 20mm isn't much the slightly slacker front end is great.
Gotta be worth trying an Fox F100 if the rear shock is Fox? I think you may be running into the problem I always have on FS bikes, in that I feel the rear end is way more effective than a fork of a similar travel. My Hemlock with 140/120 feels more balanced than when I've tried it, or indeed most other, equal travel bikes.
why don't you try the forks off ed's tranny, as the pivot is more of an all day bike- and from your review recently of 100mm forks, st suggested the corsa?- would suit a more enduro/trail bike more than just an xc 100mm from fox, rockshox etc- as it's plusher in it's travel, and keeps your bike with 100mm front and rear.
Oi Ed!
Drop the travel down to 100mm in a Fox 32 Vanilla.
I'd definitely give the 120 a try…the DW bikes sit up more in their rear travel most of the time so adding 15mm (after sag) probably won't make the bike feel too slow or slack at the front. and maybe run the 120mm with a bit more sag than you would a pure xc fork. this option worked on the dw link flux i had and i had no issues xc-racing it.
My Nicolai CC feels way better with 130mm up front and setting the rear travel to 116mm as opposed to the full 129mm.
Maybe a 120mm fork may be the way forwards -
As mentioned on a recent thread, On my hardtail (Crush) I run basic Float R's with 40% sag, which has the fork tracking the ground very well indeed. It never feels as though its ramping up sharply, it uses full travel, but never feels as though its bottoming out or diving too much. It always feels well damped and controlled. In fact, it feels very much like a decent coil fork.
I've fannyed around a lot with them to get them feeling right, and found that any less than say 35% sag and I'm not getting full travel.
Having ridden Rockshox (totems) and Marzocchi (55′s)recently, it seems as though the manufacturers have got it in their heads we all want "bottomless" travel. In my experience, the end result is that a lot of air forks and shocks seem to ramp up quite suddenly. What this equates to on the trail is forks that don't use their travel very efficiently. All in my opinion, of course.
i'm the same with stems – i used to ride 90mm stems on all types of bike
now 70mm feels xc long and i started using 50mm ones now
Marzochhi Corsa would be ace on this bike
It's at the office.
UPDATE: A suitable fork has been found. And the bike has been weighed.

We don't know Carson Palmer personally, but we assume he's a nice man. We know that he enjoys a finely-grilled long sausage, and he's deeply concerned about your budgetary hot dog restraints.
What we don't know, however, is why you still don't like him, and why he's so widely available on waiver wires. Of all the atrocities in this world, Palmer's availability is the most heinous crime.
Ownership of the Raiders quarterback is still below 70 percent in both NFL.com and ESPN leagues. More specifically, he's available in 37.4 percent of NFL.com leagues, and 34.2 percent of ESPN leagues. It gets worse over at Yahoo!, where Palmer is out there in 41 percent of leagues.
If those numbers don't seem jarring to you, please consider that over the past two weeks Aaron Rodgers, Robert Griffin III, and Tom Brady have had their byes. Those guys are pretty good, as collectively they've logged 554 fantasy points this year, and they occupy three of the top five spots at their position in terms of fantasy production. So there were some dire times for their owners who had to replace that production for one week, especially those with Brady and Rodgers who spent a first-round pick on a quarterback, and then quite understandably waited, oh, nine rounds or so to take a backup, seeing little need to invest highly in a QB2 when a sizable investment in the position had already been made.
But despite those byes and the desperation they created, Palmer sat, and sat. Sure, his ownership increased, rising 14.2 percent last week in ESPN leagues. So then by our rough arithmetic, prior to that a quarterback who's 302.6 passing yards per game is behind only two other passers and ahead of those Rodgers and Brady guys was available in 48.4 percent of leagues.
It was difficult to justify Palmer's continued availability prior to Mike Goodson and Darren McFadden almost simultaneously combusting, but now that he's the arm tasked with doing the passing in an offense that seems to despise running and he's facing the Saints this week, there's no reason why his ownership shouldn't jump 20 percent across the board. With 41.7 per game, Palmer is second in pass attempts, and he's consistently asked to be the only playmaker on the Raiders' offense every game.
For Raiders fans, that sucks. But for you it's tremendous, especially if you're dealing with the schedule's last remaining source of pain: Eli Manning's bye. Over the Raiders' last two games, Palmer has attempted 106 passes, while a Raiders running back has been given the ball on a handoff just 33 times. The result of his heavy workload over that stretch has been 782 passing yards and six touchdowns. Yes, he's also chucked four interceptions, but that will happen when a quarterback is asked to claw from behind and throw on every snap. And really, who cares? Even with those picks and his lost fumble last week he's still logged 50 fantasy points since Week 9.
Overall Palmer's also recorded four games with 350 passing yards while completing 35 passes for 20 yards or more (5th), and now he'll oppose a Saints defense that's allowing a league worst 8.6 yards per pass attempt, and 307.3 yards per game (31st).
Employ this man.

Ride #56: Ten Degree Drop
A busy day at work and other locations is best closed out with a bike ride.
After a cold front moved through last night, today was also the first day of fall rearing its cold and blistery head. We've had un-seasonably warm weather throughout most of September, so it is a shock to the system when the temps move down into the 50's. When I left the house for the ride, the thermometer indicated that the temps were hanging around 56F. Couple that with the temperature inside my house at about 64F, and I was chilled to the bone. If I was going to ride – I wanted to be warm.
I decided to load up on the clothes for the ride – including double socks, arm warmers, knee warmers, base shirt, jersey, wind-breaker jacket, skullcap, and gloves. I had a little more clothing on my upper body than I should have (I was sweating along my arms due to the combination of the arm warmers and the jacket), but the over-compensation proved valuable as the ride continued. Leaving the house and the first few miles, I found that I was heating up too much and opened up my jacket to stay cool. But, halfway through the ride, I could sense the wind shift from the west and come more from the north with a significant drop in temperature. Over the course of the hour ride, I went from being over-dressed and warm to under-dressed and cold. Rolling into the driveway at 6:30pm was accompanied by mid-40s temperature readings.
I'm glad I over-compensated.
With the cooler weather and a long day behind me, I can say that I really didn't enjoy the ride. It felt like I was only out to put in the miles (which I was) and didn't have a clear goal – other than getting home and taking a warm shower. Numbers tell the tale:
- Tuesday, September 29, 2009
- departure: 5:30pm
- duration: 0:58
- distance: 17.7 miles
- speed: 18.2 mph
- odometer: 1192
One of the contributors to the general "suckiness" of the ride involved the song suck in my head. The Song Of The Ride™ (SOTR™) came in the form of the Counting Crows' Long December. This was due to a poor choice in listening to Cities 97 just prior to the ride. I was in my garage putting a layer of new paint on some closet doors with the radio playing in the background. Damn Cities 97 only plays three different artists – Counting Crows, Eric Clapton, and Norah Jones – so I was destined to get a stupid song stuck in my head. Sure enough, I was stuck with "Long December" and couldn't shake it. God, I hate when I have a song I despise in my head as I am not only hearing the song play, but I'm also telling myself how sucky the song is. Like I said, the goal became in getting home and getting off the bike.
Speaking of the bike, I was riding the New Steed™ and couldn't have asked for better performance. After Saturday's ride, I did a major overhaul to the bike – cleaning and lubricating so that it would perform in tip-tip condition. I still smile as I begin those first few rotations on the ride. It is a great bike (capable of doing things far beyond my abilities), and I consider myself fortunate to have the opportunity to ride such a machine. I often feel silly riding a true racing machine (since I don't race), but I also feel that I ride it hard and do it some limited justice. It makes me appear a little bit of the "poser", but I'm old enough to not really care what anyone else would think about my riding.

SURAT: A public interest litigation (PIL) against dismantling of 130-year-old Hope Bridge in the diamond city is still pending before Gujarat high court. The arguments in the PIL filed by retired IPS officer J S Bindra and others concluded on Thursday and the HC verdict in the matter is likely in a week's time. The dismantling of the heritage bridge was stopped by the high court until its verdict in the matter. However, urban planners of Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) have surprised heritage lovers, including the petitioners, by proposing construction of a new bridge at the site of the existing Hope Bridge in the SMC's draft budget of 2012-13.
The draft budget presentation was made public on Wednesday by municipal commissioner MK Das. Heritage lovers have been trying to save this monument. It is only when their pleas were not heard by the civic body and its rulers that retired IPS J S Bindra and others had filed a PIL demanding that the 130-year-old structure be preserved.
Civic body sources said an affidavit has been filed in the high court explaining the stand taken by the state government in the entire issue. The civic body is waiting for the HC judgment and then would take further action in the matter, they added.
"We are not against preserving Hope Bridge, but not on the 'as is where is basis'. We want to preserve the two span of Hope Bridge either at the Heritage Square site at Chowk Bazaar or at the riverfront site, so that the coming generation of this city would know about its glittering history," said Jatin Shah, city engineer.
About the construction of a new bridge at the existing Hope Bridge site, Shah said, "The new bridge will take care of the vehicular traffic between Rander and Chowk Bazaar. Over 4.5 lakh commuters use Nehru Bridge. The new bridge will ensure more driving space for the commuters."

Drop Foot Syndrome | Foot Surgery | |
Related Topics: BPA Test Kit Mouth Herpes Tension Tamer Tea Arm Sleeves Geriatric Dosages Dilation Chart Alcoholism Chemotherapy Stethoscope Moulage Kits |
Foot-drop symptom or drop-foot symptom is a rarely-occurring medical condition. This is unlike any other strain or fracture or postural problems that are commonly associated with musculo-skeletal problems. The term 'drop foot' is used because people with this syndrome tend to walk in a peculiar manner that seems as if they are dragging their feet. When the symptoms of this condition become severe, the patient cannot raise his feet in a substantial manner. The problem becomes more obvious when the patient tries to raise the front portion of the upper foot. This is largely regarded as a problem of the neural functioning. This is why patients with a history of paralytic attacks often become victims of drop foot syndrome.
This condition doesn't resolve very easily and needs a dedicated therapeutic period that should be overseen by a qualified specialist. It has been observed that patients with drop foot syndrome need to undergo long sessions of physiotherapy for several months or even years, depending upon the severity of their condition. Physical conditioning is recommended since besides correcting the inherent issue, it is vital to reinstate the mobility of the foot and help the patient in walking properly. Usually, the entire gait of the patient becomes strange as the other, unaffected foot is used to support the problem posed by the dragging leg-this is why the treatment often includes using braces. Though this doesn't actually cure the condition, it substantially helps to correct the walking style. Sometimes, the use of electrical stimulation is needed to restore the balance of the disturbed neural functions in the leg. Causes of Drop-foot Syndrome Drop foot syndrome is attributed to many causes and it is very difficult to define the exact cause, since it is often precipitated by a host of medical conditions. While neuromuscular disorders can be the cause in some patients, drop-foot syndrome is known to be caused by diabetes also. Uncured, deep injuries to the hips and legs can also cause this condition, though such cases are rather rare. Other causes include a severe shock to the brain or spinal region or an internal injury along the nerve routes. In some cases, drug abuse has also been attributed as a possible, contributing factor. Once the syndrome sets-in, the functioning of many critical nerves that support the movement of the legs, like the sciatic nerve, are severely compromised. Further, some of the nerves along the legs are superficial. This makes them more prone to getting injured, as they are located near to surface, just below the skin. One such nerve is the perneal nerve that is located behind the knee and is among the most commonly-disabled nerves among patients of drop-foot syndrome. |

I plan to port Warcraft next and afterwards X-COM 1 & 2.Fired it up last night and it runs so much better than the gph versions (speed). Having the the larger res is nice too. Nice work M_HT. Looking forward to xcom ;-)
After running Albion, check if the file error.log was created in the directory pandora/appdata/albion or pandora/appdata/albion/game (on your SD card). If yes, post the content please.Still no luck...I copied all the files directly from a disc image.
Also try running the game using Dosbox (on your pc). If it doesn't work in Dosbox, I don't think it will run using my program.
I didn't notice any tearing while testing, but I'll see what can be done.The only suggestion I'd have would be to add a vsync option please, because right now there is a lot of tearing. I don't know if it's possible for you though, but it would be really appreciated

My name is Nibbler!
Facts about Nibbler
- Breed: Collie Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Nibbler's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Nibbler is such a handsome boy! He is a 5 year old collie mix that has completed heartworm treatment. Nibbler is a sweet boy but may be finiky about his dog companions. If you would like to adopt him, please email him at email@example.com or call 270-684-4787.
Other Pets at Saving Paws Animal Rescue of KY
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Nibbler, a Owensboro Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Collie for sale in Owensboro, or seeking a Collie dog from a breeder in Owensboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Owensboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Owensboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Collie breeders who help with Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Owensboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

JAZZ, a Mantua Conure was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Conure for sale in Mantua, or seeking a Conure from a breeder in Mantua.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mantua already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mantua breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Conure breeders who help with Conure rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mantua paves the way for another one to be saved.
