The Greek island of Cyprus is a popular destination for holidaymakers and there are many hidden gems away from the main tourist areas. One such place is the village of Arakapas, which sits at the foothills of the Troodos Mountains in the centre of this Mediterranean island. Here visitors will find numerous different places to stay including self catering accommodation, villas and apartments.
This area of Cyprus has some fantastic places to explore and is popular for hiking and sightseeing. The Troodos Mountains are also a popular destination for mountain biking. Perhaps surprisingly though, the mountains also offer winter skiing with 10 ski runs for people of all abilities. There is plenty on offer here for sports enthusiasts with several golf courses and tennis courts in the south western corner of the island A drive to the south coast of Crete takes about one hour and there are some lovely sandy beaches for sunbathing and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. Various watersports can be tried in Cyprus including water skiing, paragliding, jet biking, banana boats and diving. Fasouri Waterpark is about half an hour away and has slides, wave pools, tubes and a lazy river amongst other things. There are a few places to dine in the area including restaurants, coffee shops and tavernas serving mainly local and Greek cuisine. Visitors will find some shops here too with souvenirs available including a few local arts and crafts. Self catering holidaymakers will be able to purchase food and drink from the supermarket and a butcher shop.
Arakapas has some interesting old buildings including the 11th century church of Panagia Iamatiki. Visitors can enjoy the community gardens as well as the plethora of bougainvilleas, geraniums, grape vines, lemon, orange, pomegranate and walnut trees in the village. The island has many interesting towns and buildings to visit including the ancient Curium and Kolossi Castle in the Limassol area. The Stone Age settlements at Choirokitia are also well worth a visit and are located half way between Larnaca and Limassol.
Cyprus is generally warm throughout the year and very hot in summer. The warmest time of the year to visit Arakapas is generally July and August when the average is approximately 32 degrees centigrade. However temperatures can reach as high as 42 degrees centigrade during the summer months. January is the coolest time of the year with an average of 15 degrees centigrade. Rainfall between June and September is rare with the wettest time of year normally around December and January when there can be occasional heavy thunderstorms.
Larnaca International Airport (LCA) is approximately a 45 minute drive from Arakapas and has flights to and from many European cities such as Athens, Budapest, Copenhagen, Brussels, Gothenburg, Kiev, London

Maine PUC Lowers Electric Standard Offer Price
For Commercial and Industrial Customers
Yesterday, January 14, 2002, the Maine PUC accepted bids for new standard offer energy prices for medium and large commercial and industrial customers in the service territories of Central Maine Power Company (CMP) and Bangor Hydro-Electric Company (BHE), to become effective March 1, 2002. The new prices are 41 to 49% lower than the current standard offer prices. The new standard offer prices for CMP commercial and industrial customers are, on average, about 4.2 cents/kWh for the medium and large classes. For BHE customers the prices are, on average, 4.2 cents/kWh for the medium class and 4.0 cents/kWh for the large class. The reductions represent an annual savings of almost $100 million per year for Maine businesses that take standard offer generation service. When combined with the rates these customers pay for delivery service, the total reduction ranges from 20% to 40%. Names of the supplier(s) chosen to provide the standard offer service will be released after a two-week period to allow supply arrangements to be completed.
Under Maine's retail electric access rules, the Commission is responsible for ensuring that standard offer service is available to all customers in the State. Standard offer service is the default energy supply for electricity customers. Maine's rules require that the Commission solicit suppliers to provide standard offer service through a competitive bid process. Standard offer service is currently provided to CMP and BHE medium and large customers with wholesale power supply procured by CMP and BHE, respectively. Currently, approximately 30% of the load in the large and medium classes is served by the standard offer. The annual retail electricity sales to these customers is about 6.8 million MWh. Competitive electric providers serve the remaining load.
The RFPs were issued November 14, 2001, seeking prices for one, two or three year terms. The Commission selected one-year terms for both CMP and BHE territories and both customer classes. The one-year terms were selected to ensure standard offer prices continue to track the market, allowing competitive energy providers to continue to compete. In addition competitive electric providers may offer longer-term packages for those customers who desire stability and predictability.
"I'm happy to be able to report that when market prices fall, as they have during the past year, we are able to pass those reductions along to standard offer customers," said Tom Welch, chairman of the Commission. "I recognize that these lower prices present a challenge for competitors seeking to sell to individuals and groups in Maine, but these competitors have shown themselves to be very capable and aggressive, and with the very low wholesale market prices now prevailing I am confident that they will be able to compete successfully. Even though the standard offer prices for medium and large customers are low, they are only guaranteed for one year: This means that customers who want to be sure of price stability for a longer period should seek out opportunities in the competitive market. The Commission will do all it can to ensure that customers have the information they need to make the choices that are best for them."
"Medium and large non-standard-offer customers whose current contracts may not end until later this year might find it cost-effective to acquire future supply now, while forward prices are low," added Commissioner Bill Nugent.

Having just spent the week on vacation, I arrived at Detroit Metro airport to find the new 2010 Jaguar XKR Coupe waiting for me. How lucky we are. The car looks amazing from all angles and is attractive to a wide range of people. I got two compliments on the car before I even got out of the parking lot. The rear hatch area is surprisingly spacious, easily accommodating three pieces of luggage: one large bag and two carry-on pieces. Once inside the car, you can see the new "JaguarDrive Selector" that was adopted from the XF for 2010. As you would expect from Jaguar, the front seats are very comfortable and offer electric bolster adjustments that can be operated by a button on the interior door panel. Although rear seats exist, they are much too small for an adult to fit comfortably.
The new 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 is an outright animal. What with 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque, it definitely has the ability to plant your torso into the seat. And unlike the 2010 XFR we tested several months ago, the XKR lets out a nice growl from the tailpipes under acceleration that then disappears at highway cruising speeds to cut down on cabin drone.

If you're looking for something other than wine to pair with your Thanksgiving dinner, interesting options abound. In addition to helping to get the festivities going, cocktails can be great for pairing with your favorite holiday foods. Try the sparkling Belle de Jour from our current issue (page 34) with roast beef, or the pomegranate-packed Jefferson's Crimson cocktail (page 36) with turkey or venison. Beer is another fantastic match for food, and there are plenty of special brews to compliment your holiday spread. Brown ales go incredibly well with lamb, pilsners can pair perfectly with salmon, and stouts, of course, can be a decadent match for desserts, like chocolate pecan pie. Also think about specific styles of coffee and tea to go with your holiday sweets. An El Salvador coffee with notes of citrus, cinnamon and nutmeg can make a pear tart even more special, and a Darjeeling tea can be just right with a spicy ginger cake.
If you can't save room for dessert but you still want to cap off your meal with something sweet, try a glass of cream sherry or tawny port, or a sweet but spicy herbal liqueur, like Zwack. Let us know what you plan to drink with your holiday spread this year—we'd love to know what intriguing ideas you have up your sleeves!
Welcome to Imbibe Magazine's between-issues look at liquid culture with drink recipes, news and more. From coffee to cocktails, Imbibe celebrates your world in a glass.

Thanksgiving with a Twist

A bunch of my friends are whiskey freaks, so I plan to serve a round of straight rye with the turkey before we head into wine.

Bee Bee Hots - warm bourbon and honey, with a hint of orange. My grandfather is a beekeeper, so we have to do something with it, right?
After that, a round of coffee, pie and conversation next to the fireplace.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at Imbibe! - 11/21/2007 6:44 AM

text: I just read about this on another site...it's very interesting and something that we have, in some form, discussed before with the tests that Disney has previously run. It is surprising that they would align with one particular company like this but at least some features will be offered to all. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out for sure, I just hope that it doesn't turn into a reason for kids and/or parents to keep their noses in a piece of technology.

Way back when Jim Noelker and I used to ride around and talk to people in the coal fields, we never found one that wanted their kid to be a coal miner. They always said, "I'm doing this terrible work so that my kid can go to college." Now, the politicians have sold this idea that coal is their only way of life, and that they need to fight to make sure their kids can do that. It's a complete reversal, and that notion is kind of maddening.
I find, reporting about coal over the years, that when you get a really good story, a story that really explains something that isn't right, when you listen to the criticism you get, it isn't that the story's wrong, it's that you did the story in the first place. You're disloyal. And it comes from the coal industry, of course, but from the miners too. I've known a lot of coal miners and I have a lot of respect for them. They do ungodly difficult and dangerous work and they deserve every penny they get paid for it. But there's all this romanticism about coal mining. Ten thousand people died of black lung in the last decade. Is that modern?
Working at a paper the size of the Gazette in this economy is not the most fun thing in the world all the time, and on days when it's not very much fun, it's like, "God, why did I do this, am I crazy?" I don't want to wake up in twenty years and think I missed some great opportunities. I've had chances to go to other places—bigger newspapers, a lot more money, more readers. I remember one interview, I went in asking this editor a bunch of questions, trying to see if she would convince me that this was a move I should make. I said, "Let me describe to you what I do now. I set my own agenda for what I'm going to do each day. I don't get assignments, or very seldom get assignments; my editors trust me to sort out what's important. So basically, I do what I want. Can you offer me a job doing that?" And of course they all say, "Wellll…" And I say, "Okay, when you can offer me that, call me." I don't get too many calls like that. I know people who work at bigger places that essentially get to do that; they get a year to work on one story so they can try to win another Pulitzer, or turn it into their next book. And that's great, and there are people that do that whose work I admire a lot, and who have been great mentors to me. But I also know the kind of fights they have at bigger places, with layer after layer of editors or bureaucracy and, you know, the six months' worth of investigative work they did gets hacked in half at the whim of some editor who may or may not know anything about the subject matter. That doesn't appeal to me. My wife would say I'm too bullheaded and don't like anybody telling me what to do, and she's probably right.
West Virginia's my home. I've never lived anyplace else. It is impossibly rich with things for a reporter to cover. Right now I'm focusing on coal. I've written about a lot of other things, and I have a huge list of things I still want to write about. And I can't think of many places that are in need of good journalism more than West Virginia is, or what higher calling journalists have than to try to write stories that make their home a better place.

Local business in Washington
to advocate for small business growth
Chase Robbins, the owner of Apex Motorsports Inc. in Shelbyville, will be visit with lawmakers in Washington D.C. on April 29 to discuss how Congress can better support small businesses by promoting technology-enabled commerce.
Robbins was previously stationed at Ft. Knox, but decided to stay in the area and develop Apex, an e-commerce business. Robbins will encourage lawmakers to support policies that help businesses grow online, such as:
Deeds are compiled from data posted on the Shelby County Clerk's Web site. Property descriptions are based on the best available information provided in the database and may in fact refer to property and thoroughfares no longer formally identified. Financial terms include any value of the property stated on the deed, even if that amount did not change hands.
Real estate deeds, March 22-31
Kathryn and Joshua Thacker and Kathryn Lovell to Joshua Dean, Lot 36 Hidden Trails Development, $89,900
No task elicits procrastination like preparing federal tax returns, and as the April 15 deadline approaches professionals said more and more people continue to delay the process.
The IRS expects to receive about 148 million tax returns this year, and as of March they had received 107 million returns, with about 91 percent filed electronically.
Cynthia Jenkins of Bagdad, who filed her taxes Wednesday at H&R Block, said preparation is the key to getting it done quickly and efficiently.
After posting a second quarter financial report that showed 6.1 percent decrease in net sales and a 6.7 percent decrease in net profit, Family Dollar has announced the closing of more than 370 stores nationwide by the end of September.
However, the Shelbyville store, located in Governor's Square, appears to be safe.
"We're not going anywhere," said a store employee that declined to give her name. "We've been open since 1985, and we're not going anywhere."
Shelby natives among new trustees at Georgetown
Shelbyville natives Sarah "Bookie" Hayes Wilson and Guthrie Zaringare among five Georgetown College alumni recently elected to the Georgetown College Board of Trustees. They began their terms of service in January and join Shelbyville resident Bob Hieb, a long-serving trustee.

More than a year after vanishing in smoke and flames, a longtime downtown restaurant has risen from the ashes but in a different location.
After burning to the ground in a March 2013 fire that also took down two other buildings in the 600 block of Main Street, Fiesta Mexicana is preparing to reopen very soon in a standalone building at 1815 Midland Trail.
Except for some finishing touches, work on the restaurant is basically complete, so much so that it was ready for a final inspection yesterday.

It helps to have a friend in the business. Back in 1996, golf writer Bradley S. Klein beseeched Pete Dye to build a municipal course for Klein's hometown of Bloomfield, Connecticut. Seven years, three referenda and $11.5 million later, Wintonbury Hills Golf Course opened last fall. All towns should have a course this good—or, in the case of this fortunate town, two courses this good.
Wintonbury is, surprisingly, Dye's first layout in New England. ("No one's ever asked me to build one before," he explains.) Still, Dye held nothing back. Although the course appears petite on the card at 6,623 yards, it proves subtly muscular. With more than a hundred deep pot bunkers cut into volcano-like mounds, it exudes Yankee vigor. Its open, links-style creations segue to heavily wooded holes, their heaving fairways offering long views of forested ridges.
The longer back nine illustrates why the seventy-eight-year-old Dye remains a master of his trade, with a sturdy 455-yard fourteenth that's instantly among the finest par fours in the state. Here the Tunxis Reservoir hugs the entire right side of the fairway, with a steep wooded hillside defending the left. A sentinel oak backdrops the large, sloping green. Barely a spoonful of dirt was moved to create this nature-made classic.
Still, Bloomfield was not finished—as it will prove this July when it unveils the bold urban course of Gillette Ridge Golf Club. Built by Palmer Course Design on CIGNA's Bloomfield campus, it features an intricate layout. Some fairways are nestled in wooded conservation easements; others skirt wetlands or soon-to-be neighborhoods; still others traverse rolling terrain that offers glimpses of the Hartford skyline.
A 283-acre jigsaw puzzle, Gillette Ridge bristles with hazards from the tips at 7,160 yards and boasts a bevy of brawny par fives—like the 602-yard double-dogleg seventeenth, whose oblong green sits on a stone parapet with steep drops on all sides. Only a life-insurance firm could get away with a hole like this.
Wintonbury Hills Golf Course, Greens Fees: $60-$70. Tee Times: 860-242- 1401 or visit wintonburyhillsgolf.com. Gillette Ridge Golf Club, Greens Fees: $60-$75. Tee Times: 860-242-5582 or visit gilletteridgegolf.com.

DWI / Drunk Driver Accidents
If you or a loved one have been hit and injured by a person driving while intoxicated (DWI) or a drunk driver in Houston, it is critical that you immediately consider all of your legal options. It's important to note that the outcome of the criminal trial may not automatically result in a guaranteed civil suit. This is why it's vital to ensure you are working with a highly experienced trial lawyer who understands these cases well.
Houston DWI Accident Lawyer
Call (713) 225-5236 today or send an online message to schedule your free consultation. Ben Bronston & Associates is a local law firm with extensive experience in auto accident litigation. We understand your concerns and your well-being is our highest priority. Our attorneys will never settle for the easiest outcome and instead work to get you the full compensation you need immediately.
Drunk and Drugged Driving Facts
In 2011 alone, there were over 1.2 million drivers arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This is a startling figure and makes the risk of driving at any time (and especially during holidays) a frightening prospect.
According to the National Highway Safety Administration (NHSA), the biggest group responsible for traffic fatalities are young adults between the ages of 21 and 24 (32 percent), followed by those 25 to 34 years of age. Their reckless behavior sends thousands of innocent drivers and passengers to the hospitals every year in Houston, despite an increased DWI awareness campaign targeted towards young adults.
Local police and Texas highway patrol are always on the look-out for these criminally reckless drivers. They often increase patrols and set up sobriety check points in areas that have a statistically high rate of DUI accidents. However, their vigilance is tragically not always enough. Collisions caused by drunk drivers who drive on the wrong side of the road or otherwise drive recklessly occur every day. These drivers should be held accountable for their actions and especially for wrongful death they cause.
Using a Police Report/Crash Report to Prove Negligence
When you are involved in accident with a driver who was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it can be less difficult to prove in civil court that he or she acted negligently. Your auto accident attorney can obtain a police report that clearly states that the driver of the other vehicle was under the influence and was given a DWI.
This evidence alone can go a long way in proving that you have a valid personal injury claim. Even in cases where the drunk driver has his or her charges reduced, and he or she is not charged with DWI, you can still file a claim against them.
Resources for Accidents Involving Drunk Drivers
Mothers Against Drunk Driving: This is the national larget nonprofit organization, their mission is to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking through local MADD victim advocates. Several resources can be found on this site that can help individuals recover from the emotional devastation of losing a loved one to a drunk driving related accident.
Receiving Compensation After an Accident: This link provides information on how to receive compensation after you are involved in an accident with a drunk driver. It lists important steps to take, that can ensure that you are given a fair opportunity to get the compensation you deserve.
Elements of a Car Accident Negligence Claim:This website provides information on a variety of different legal matters, including how to prove negligence on the part of a drunk driver. It lays out what elements must be present in order to be successfull in a negligence claim.

Filmed over nearly three years, director Lucy Walker followed renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of "catadores" — self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz's initial objective was to "paint" the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage reveals both dignity and despair as thecatadores begin to reimagine their lives. Come see the film the Huffington Post described as, "…the Slumdog Millionaire of documentaries: an inspiring, deeply moving crowd-pleaser."(99 min.)
Adrian Ivakhiv, an Associate Professor of Environmental Thought and Culture with a joint appointment in the Environmental Program and the Rubenstein School of Environment & Natural Resources, will introduce the film.

They took his advice, which was contrary to their instinct, and the result was great. I, too, use his quote to decorate for my actual life, which is 2 shedding dogs, a cat, 2 beloved grandchildren who visit frequently, and a DH who uses his chair to rest during home projects.

A year in the making. My new kitchen w/pics
posted by: oldhouse1 on 09.11.2011 at 08:50 pm in Kitchens Forum Our home is a simple 1840 Canadiana. We were living life quite comfortably when we drove by a home we always jokingly said we would buy if it ever went up for sale. Well, there it was, a big for sale sign in the middle of the lawn. Long story short we moved from our 4 bathroom home to one 1/3 the size with one bath that also happened to be off the kitchen. We immediately set out to design a small addition which included a kitchen. That was three years ago. With the exception of the foundation and framing, this has been a complete DIY project. After a year and a month of doing dishes in the bathroom I now have a kitchen. It doesn't have alot of bells and whistles and although we didn't necessarily want a period kitchen we did want one that suited an older home.
Details: Ikea Tidaholm cupboards, professionally sprayed in Cloud White with alot of customization. Unfortunately, these have since been discontinued. AEG Electrolux 36" freestanding stove. Bought for less then half price because someone bought it, used it once and returned it because they decided they wanted gas. We don't have gas and recently put in Geo Thermal heating/air conditioning. Wasn't in the budget to bring in propane. Stove was so reasonable that if we decide to do so later we can. Liebherr 30" freestanding refrigerator. Purchased for half price because it had a dent dent in the bottom half. Bought a new door so it was good as new, until they delivered it and dented the top half. They replaced the door. Neither will be installed until house is complete (just in case). Ikea farmhouse sink and dishwasher. I'm actually very pleased that it works as well as it does. Perrin and Rohl Aquatine faucet in polished nickel. Island and Jam cupboard - Special Order from Camlen Furniture in Quebec. Purchased with hand planed top in pine and may or not replace with marble. Will live with it for a while. 10" random length pine floors. All hand finished and dinged and finshed with Waterlox. This alone took us several weeks. We love the finish. Honed Absolute Black granite. Bought the kitchen at Ikea's 20% off sale. Rather then cash back you get Ikea gift certificates. Used these and another $1300. Faber Inca Pro hood Light fixture- Sescolite, Burlington, Ontario Finished kitchen, $19 thousand including all the small stuff. I would like to thank the GW community. I found you when most decisions had already been made but early enough to make some positive changes based on the vast amount of information shared on this site. I didn't ask for much advise but I can assure you that I read everything written on the subjects that I researched on this site and then some. I do not have the incredible knowledge that so many of you do who share so willingly to those who ask but have from time to time tried to help out on the very few subjects I know a little about. I have taken much more than I have been able to give. I am grateful to have had a place that I could frequent with people who share the same desire to have a kitchen of their dreams no matter their budget. And to those who think their day will never come, keep the faith. I never thought that I would get here. After seeing so many unbelievable kitchens, big and small, elaborate and understated, new and updated thanks for looking at mine.

Gray kitchen in progress! Feedback please?
posted by: elsewhere on 03.21.2012 at 11:03 am in Kitchens Forum I'd thought I'd post a few pictures from our current renovation and see if anyone has any feedback that might help tune the final decisions: floor stain color (possibly), backsplash, and paint colors for room.
A bit of context: this is kitchen in a 1891 shingle style house (the traditionalists might be a bit horrified - my renovation style tends to be a bit more 'honor the past without being forced to repeat it'...I was going for something a bit more contemporary that still makes sense in the space ) So, I'd really like your comments and suggestions (well, except for the 'how the #$& are you going to keep dark floors and white marble CLEAN...we know, we know...a potential disaster in the making, but hopefully a very beautiful disaster) I understand my taste is not everyone's taste, it's just a chance to get fresh perspectives and I will probably not interact much other than to THANK YOU for your unvarnished opinion. Thoughts, links to photos, ideas on remaining color choices...anything and everything welcome. Background Cabinets - Farrow and Ball Cornforth White Floor - Ebonized white oak (the photos read dark, but there is definitely grain showing through...will probably do a matte finish on final coat). One option that we are considering is to restain the floor (perhaps a mid-tone brown with some red) to pull in from the rest of the house. Countertop - White Rhino marble. NOTES: <none>

Wall is Out, LIght is In... Redoing a '49 Cape's Kitchen (thx Bue
posted by: kris_ma on 04.12.2010 at 10:01 am in Kitchens Forum Last September I posted a rendering of our kitchen AFTER cabinets had been ordered and budget was pretty well set (better late than never). Buehl offered several suggestions for improvement and helped us find some ways that we could improve on the plan even that late in the game - thanks to Buehl's helpful sketches, we were able to make some changes that helped me get a beam moved to open it up a bit more, and a prep sink that I didn't even know I needed (but use constantly!), and an island that's exactly the right size to allow maximum seating yet without "cramping" the style of any of the workers in the kitchen. I am forever grateful, Buehl, thank you.
Background: This is a 1200 sq. ft home, with a an 8x16 kitchen which was an 8x8 working area with an eat-in 8x8 table space. We spent 10 years "dancing" with each other while prepping or cleaning because, believe me, I'm not the type to insist on doing all the cooking or clean up myself (my math figures that 4 eaters = 4 helpers, hehe) While the footprint remained the same, the remodel took out a load-bearing wall that also had hvac and electrical things in it that had to be re-routed. It involved setting a steel i-beam into the ceiling, this wall stuff ate nearly half of budget but because our primary goal was to open up a cramped space, we felt it was worth it. We kept appliances that we had already replaced (7 yr. old fridge, and 2 year old stove and dishwasher), this helped keep the rest of the budget in line. Sticking with stock and semi-custom cabinets helped, too. We worked with a very flexible contractor (Chuck Hall at Cornerstone Construction in Framingham, MA) that let us do some of the work ourselves (tiling, painting, etc), as well as all of the shopping for fixtures, this saved us time and money, and also allowed us to work in so many of the great ideas shared on this site (air switch for GD, Ticor sink, etc). Here is a before pic: the kitchen was evidently updated sometime in the 70's. Here are some after's and link to the album: http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk312/KrisMA_photos/Kitchen Remod el of a 1949 Cape/ Details:
I always found it helpful when others shared their costs of renovation, so in the spirit of helpfulness to those still planning, the total cost of our renovation was in the 50K ballpark: of that about 10K was on cabinets, 5K on fixtures, 3K on granite. The other costs I don't have broken down but covered plumbing, hvac, and general construction, including: demo, engineering, wood floors fingered into the old, steel I-beams + posts, 2 new windows, new sliding door, plaster walls, installation of cabinets.

Pictures of our new black and white bathroom
posted by: Janieful on 02.08.2013 at 11:00 pm in Bathrooms Forum Here are some photos of the new bathroom in our 1920s bungalow. I don't have any before pictures, because it was a brand new addition. We were trying to make it look like it was always a part of the house. Hopefully we achieved that look.
Here are the things we used, much of which was on the recommendations of these awesome forums. floor tile - Daltile Keystones unglazed 1.25 inch white hex w/ black accents wall tile - Daltile Rittenhouse Square subway with black bulnose sink - Kohler Memoirs (24 inch) toilet - Toto Promenade tub - Kohler Villager medicine cabinet - Van Dyke's kit light fixtures - Destination Lighting Schoolhouse Sconces faucets - Delta Originally we had special ordered the Daltile hex with 4% black, but the tile company accidentally ordered the b/w octagon (Duh!). Instead of waiting 2 more months, we just had them pop out some white and add black. I think I would have preferred the original more random pattern, but oh, well. And for anyone who worries about keeping the unglazed white hex clean, I haven't found it that bad, but you have to be comfortable with a little dinginess. I consider it patina. All in all, there's nothing I regret. It's a great, middle range bathroom. I would say we spent around $7,000 on the actual bathroom (tile, new plumbing, fixtures). But of course that doesn't include the other addition construction costs. We love it. The vintage feel of it makes me happy. It just feels right for the home. P.S. Sorry about the last photo not being rotated. We couldn't figure out how to fix it. NOTES: floor tile - Daltile Keystones unglazed 1.25 inch white hex w/ black accents

2LittleFishies Yellow Kitchen Reveal !!! LONG!
posted by: 2LittleFishies on 02.08.2013 at 09:07 am in Kitchens Forum OK, here is my finished yellow kitchen thread! Can't believe it is here!
I can't thank ALL of you enough (or at least those who shared in my vision!) for all the help. Like most of us I really spent so much time on every decision. I joke that nothing happened by accident. There are so many of you that contributed your thoughts and ideas but I want to especially thank lavender_lass and marcolo for all of their wise words and helping me find and stay true to my vision. I found the hardest part of renovating is not going off track every time you have to make a decision and not letting others sway you to do things you really don't want to do! What is NOT finished: Specifics: *Custom Cabinetry- Cabinet Maker in PA. *Colors of Cabinetry- BM Barley 199, BM Mascarpone AF-20 Cabinets were finished with a catalyzed lacquer (not paint) and clear top coat. *Wall Paint- Kitchen- BM Elephant Tusk OC-8 *Countertops- Vermont Imperial Danby Marble 3cm (purchased from PMI in NJ); Black Walnut 2" Thick Island Top finished with Satin Waterlox (constructed by our Cabinet Maker) *Appliances- *Floors- Red Oak finished with Minwax Provincial Stain and Vermeister Commercial Finish Poly. Matte *Hardware- *Lighting- *Sinks- *Faucets- *Insinkerator Evolution Essential Disposal *Backsplash by Wizard Tile *Stools- Counter Height from Grandinroad BEFORE: This project included pushing out the entire back of our 1950 Cape 7 feet. Also, removing about 5' of our living room wall which involved moving the basement steps over. Removing a wall between the dining room and kitchen, adding a covered porch. We also did all new siding and other exterior things but I'll stick to inside. Kitchen was originally a galley measuring about 19' x 9 1/2'. Dining Room was about 8 1/2' wide. Now it's really one large room 28' x 16 1/2'. Kitchen side alone is 16' x 16 1/2' Choosing reveal photos was worse than narrowing down pics for our Wedding Album! SO sorry in advance for the quantity! Hopefully you'll never have to ask me for more pics : ) AFTER: BAKING AREA SIDE OF KITCHEN: Most of my drawers like these are adjustable which I'd highly recommend. If they weren't I wouldn't have been able to remove partitions to fit taller pieces. Key Cabinet My KitchenAid COOKTOP SIDE OF L: SINK WALL: TV Pocket Doors Over Fridge ISLAND: Thanks, Breezy : ) Storage at Back of Island (Shelves are 9 1/2" deep) NOW GOING TO THE RIGHT OF THE SINK/FRIDGE WALL into Dining Area: 6" DEEP BROOM CLOSET LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING/SUMMER VIEWS: MY ORGANIZATIONAL SPOT (cork back, file drawer, printer, BluRay player, desk items, charging drawer) WHERE BANQUETTE BENCH WILL BE: BAR AREA: REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS: CUSTOM SLIDING DOORS-- These were at one point supposed to be pocket doors but I didn't want to close off views by having 3' of wall pocket on either side so came up with this which is working well at blocking sound but still gives an open feeling to the space.

Last week's edition of our Travel Traditions series featured the rituals we follow on our arrival day. I thought I'd continue on that this week by covering some of our favorite things to do on our first full day on Maui each trip.
Our first full day centers around dinner at one our favorites places to eat in Maui, Cheeseburger in Paradise. But that's not until later in the afternoon, so let me start with the rest of the day first. On this first day, we're still recovering from the timezone difference between Chicago and Hawaii, so I typically find myself getting up much earlier than I do on the rest of the trip. Our arrival day post talked a little bit about the lanai in our ocean front room at the Sheraton, so I'll usually make my way out there for a little bit, trying not to wake Cindy.
Early mornings are so peaceful and quiet on Maui. Because we stay in Ka'anapali, which is on the western most part of the island, we don't get the benefit of watching the sunrise each day. But that's okay, looking out onto the ocean that first morning after a well needed night's rest is a personal moment of reflection for me. I'll take a moment to be thankful for the opportunity to visit such a wonderful place each year, and for all those long hours of hard work and sacrafices we have to endure throughout the year to make these trips happen. One of the few times I'll actually think about work and things back home while we're on vacation.
Anyway, here's a quick clip that was taken on the lanai from one of our earlier trips. It might not seem that exciting, but as I mentioned above, it's very peaceful.
Once we're both awake and finished getting ready that morning, we'll head downstairs to the Keka'a Terrace for their breakfast buffet. A lot of folks mention skipping the resort breakfast buffet as a good way to save money on Hawaii, and their 100% correct. Luckily for us, and depending on what package we book with the Sheraton, we get vouchers for free buffet breakfast every morning. That's a big plus, since we'll head down to eat at around 9am or so, have a big breakfast, and skip out on lunch.
Front Street
With breakfast out of the way, we'll make our way down to Lahaina town around 1pm or so and walk around Front Street to soak up a little of the atmosphere there for awhile. The majority of the places we'll eat out for dinner are in Lahaina, so we'll find ourselves there about 5-6 times during a two week trip. The more times we walk along that popular stretch of road, browsing through store windows and some of the general stores, the more we just feel right at home. For a first day tradition, it really gets us back into that "we never left" mode.
Depending on what the day is like, we'll trek on over to the Banyan tree and check out some of the boats in the harbor. We'll probably spend about 2-3 hours or so, just walking up and down the shops, seeing what has changed since last year, things like that. We might do a little shopping, and we'll usually start looking for a new set of Aloha wear for our luau that trip.
The First Dinner
Close to about 4pm, we're starting to get hungry and it's time for our traditional day one dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise. We first stumbled across Cheeseburger while in Waikiki for our honeymoon. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and absolutely loved the food. Honestly, any place that has burgers and chicken sandwiches, and lets you add a slice of grilled pineapple to any sandwich is my kind of place.
Their motto above the door reads "Paradise Served Daily", and would tend to think it's right on. At their Lahaina location, Cheeseburger in Paradase doesn't have a bad place to sit. With two levels, you can stay on the ground floor and watch the folks stroll along by, but we opt for the second story seating and a view of the water. We'll be there early enough where there isn't that long of a wait, but depending on where we sit, that late afternoon sun in the western sky might be a little too strong while you're trying to eat. Afterall, you are right on the water in Lahaina Harbor, so be sure to say hello to Lana'i out nearby.
We're not that big on dessert while on vacation, although we are very found of the Hula Pie at Leilani's. After getting back to our resort around 5:30pm or so, we'll take a stroll over to Whalers Village and endulge in a little Haagen Dazs to celebrate the evening. For me, it's the pineapple and coconut ice cream, while Cindy will switch off between the while chocolate macadamia nut ice cream and the frozen mocha drink they have (I don't remember the name).
After a short stroll around Whalers, we'll take our time heading back to the Sheraton. On nights like this first one, we'll just catch the final glimpse of the sunset while at Whalers, and with the cliff dive ceremony at Black Rock already completed, we'll see the torches on Black Rock lit from afar. And when I say we'll "take our time" heading back, that means we'll kick off the slippahs and walk along the beach itself rather than the beachwalk that we usually take. By the time we eventually make it back to the Sheraton, we usually have a view looking something like this.
Not a bad way to finish off Day One, eh?
The Travel Traditions Series here at the blog features our habits and rituals that we have for various aspects of our frequent trips to the island of Maui. Getting to know the island so well after all these years, having a few traditions adds a little continuity to our visits, while still giving us so much flexibility to enjoy many new things each trip.

United States Attorney Kenyen R. Brown of the Southern District of Alabama announced that Joseph P. DeMarco, 48, was convicted today of failing to register as a sex offender. DeMarco was convicted by a jury in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama following a one-day trial. According to the evidence at trial, DeMarco was required to register as a sex offender following a 2003 conviction for Sex Abuse 1st Degree involving an eight-year old victim. Testimony at trial showed that DeMarco was employed in Louisiana and moved from his registered address in Mobile County, but failed to register as required in Louisiana or update his registration in Alabama.
DeMarco is scheduled to be sentenced December 6, 2013 by United States District Judge Kristi K. DuBose. He faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release following his release from prison.
The case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service and the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. Assistant United States Attorney Maria Murphy handled the prosecution on behalf of the United States.

Seattle mayor's race: Can McGinn survive primary?
Once upon a time Seattle mayors had a relatively easy time getting re-elected. At the very least, they could count on making it through the primary. But lately, voters have grown fond of dumping hizzoner without even waiting until November.
Seattle Times political reporter

Once upon a time Seattle mayors had a relatively easy time getting re-elected. At the very least, they could count on making it through the primary.
But lately, voters have grown fond of dumping hizzoner without even waiting until November.
In 2001, they booted Paul Schell, marking the first time since 1936 an incumbent Seattle mayor had lost in a primary. His successor, Greg Nickels, lasted two terms but was rejected in the 2009 primary.
In a few days, it could be Mayor Mike McGinn's turn.
While McGinn has a core of devoted supporters and can point to a city on the rise economically, his negative job-approval poll numbers and numerous critics show there is no guarantee he'll survive after votes are counted Tuesday.
McGinn has fought hard to prove he's worth a second term, firing up his base of unions and progressive activists with a July surprise — a controversial effort to block a proposed Whole Foods store in West Seattle over wage concerns.
"I made a commitment when I first ran, to just try to do what is right," McGinn said in an interview. "We'll see where the chips fall."
John Wyble, McGinn's political consultant, is making no predictions. "The numbers don't point to us automatically getting through (the primary)," he said, "but we feel good about where we are."
McGinn has raised more than $285,000 for his re-election bid, and unions representing grocery and hotel workers have added an additional $69,000 to an independent campaign on his behalf.
McGinn's opponents, meanwhile, have each made a case for change, arguing the city needs a mayor less prone to picking fights.
State Sen. Ed Murray has made leadership style a centerpiece campaign issue, arguing his 18-year track record in the Legislature proves he can better build regional ties. He says he'd use those skills to accelerate light-rail expansion and attract a top-notch new police chief.
"I bring collaborative approach to leadership that actually results in accomplishments," Murray said.
Murray, best known for leading the fight to win legalized gay marriage, has emerged as the leading fundraiser in the 2013 race, pulling in nearly $390,000. He's also piled up high-profile endorsements and momentum in polls.
A political-action committee, People for Ed Murray, funded largely by business groups, has raised another $128,000 to support him.
But Murray has opened himself up to critics who say his campaign is long on establishment support and generic slogans, but short on specifics.
McGinn has passed up few opportunities to needle Murray as an instrument of downtown "status quo" interests.
Another leading candidate, former City Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck, has positioned himself as a champion of neighborhoods worried about rapid growth.
Steinbrueck said the city needs to ensure amenities like parks and sidewalks keep pace with development.
"It's not being really well managed the way it should be," he said.
With less money raised — just over $175,000 — Steinbrueck is relying on name recognition and his years of contacts with neighborhood activists.
City Councilmember Bruce Harrell has campaigned as a social-justice champion, highlighting his own inspiring biography as a kid who grew up in a poor neighborhood only to become a University of Washington football star, corporate attorney and politician.
Harrell has proposed creating a new college-endowment fund to allow every Seattle public high-school graduate to attend a local college tuition free for a year. He says he'd hire new community service officers to reconnect the Police Department to neighborhoods.
Harrell's longtime business and UW alumni ties have helped him raise nearly $260,000.
While polls and endorsements point to McGinn, Steinbrueck, Harrell and Murray competing for the top two spots in the primary, there are also five lesser known candidates on the ballot.
Businessman Charlie Staadecker, who runs a commercial real estate company, is campaigning as a gentleman who'd restore civility to Seattle and be the city's "chief salesperson" to attract new jobs. His campaign has raised $200,000, but he has remained in single digits in polls.
Despite little visible support, Greenwood activist Kate Martin has run as a one-woman idea factory in the race, rattling off her criticisms of city spending problems and advocating preserving part of the Alaskan Way Viaduct as an elevated park.
Other candidates in the race are socialist Mary Martin, who at campaign appearances has talked about Cuba as a model for Seattle to follow; Joey Gray, who has touted her record growing an ultimate Frisbee league; and Doug McQuaid, a little-known attorney.
With the primary being held in the middle of summer (unlike past years when it was in September), participation is expected to be low. King County Elections is predicting 35 percent of registered voters will turn out in the city.
Seattle's previous two mayors said they're not sure there is any pattern to their primary election defeats.
Schell lost after a string of bad news, from the World Trade Organization riots to terrorism threats and Boeing announcing its corporate headquarters was relocating to Chicago.
But Schell said primary elections can be particularly unforgiving to candidates running as moderates. "It's the time when the true believers and ideologues emerge. There is no constituency for the middle ground," he said.
Nickels said he should have known trying for a third term was an uphill fight, especially given the lousy economy in 2009. His campaign tried to remind voters of all his accomplishments — from expanding light rail to becoming a national leader on global warming. But it was no use.
"It was like I was standing on a railroad track with a train coming at me unable to move," Nickels said.
With so many well-known challengers splitting the anti-incumbent vote, McGinn may yet dodge that train.
Either way, the mayor said he's at peace.
"No matter what happens, having had the opportunity to work to make a difference in the lives of regular folks has been an extraordinary thing," McGinn said.

Oldsmobile Intrigue Transmission / Suspension Problems
tres_74 Posts: 16My husband manages an auto parts store and when he told the local GM dealer what was going on with my car, they told him what their GM Dealer manual said about cutting the wire for my 1999 Olds Intrigue. I don't know if this can be done for all years or just that one. The GM Dealer Manual for my year of car was what showed the color of wire and where it was located. It was one of the many wires that came out of the transmission I believe. I know that there was more than one wire of the color that we needed to cut, but only needed to cut one of them so it was kindof tricky in that respect. We don't have an actual GM Dealer Manual here at home otherwise I'd be glad to tell you if your year of car is in the same book, etc. Sorry I couldn't help more. But at least you know that the GM Dealer Manual is the place to find the information you need.

white99gl Posts: 1I just replaced my sway bar just last week, it broke after hitting a deer. replacing the bar wasn't bad, finding it to purchase was a little tricky. A jack and a couple of jack stands to lift the cars front end is pretty much all you need, lift car high enough so bar doesn't hit the ground when removing & installing. 1/2" wrenches to get the bolts off & I forgot what size wrench it was to get the mounts off. I paid $105 for a new bar & I think the bolt with all the rubber grommets was about $15. I used the old mounts. All in all, it was pretty easy. Hope this helps
white99 Posts: 3Thanks. A friend welded it for me. Mine was broken at the driver side link end. We were able to align and clamp it without removing it. The link bushing got a bit warm. He's a skilled welder, and did a nice neat job. Now, after about 2500 miles, it's still good. But you never know - your advice will come in handy if the weld breaks.
macbrain_99 Posts: 2I have a 1998 Intrigue with over 150,000 miles on it. It has recently began to jump or stall or cut out or something at highway speeds. This started a few days ago, and then yesterday it did the same thing and the check engine light came on. I then pulled into a McDonalds and as I was making the turn at about 5 mph it seemed to shudder again. I immediately (drove it 2 miles), went to my shop to read the code. It showed up as PO742 torque converter circuit stuck on. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this. I do not care about the fuel mileage as long as I can make it through this semester at school without spending a ton to fix it. I have not changed fluids or added any special lubricant. I am currently a mechanic but I work on very large diesel engines and a bunch of hydraulic equipment so I feel I can do it my self with a touch of guidance. I have read the other post and am wondering if I am a candidate for the wire clipping trick? Please tell me the tranny wont have to be opened.
Thank You, Craig McBrain -

dtownfb Posts: 2,915The 1998 Grand Prix is very similar to your vehicle and is applicable. I believe the early Intrigues were based on the Grand Prix. Based the first result of my google search, I would say change the transmission fluid and try a bottle of LubeGuard that everyone recommends. if that does not work, then you'll have to go to a shop and have the proble further diagnosed. the web page I found had very detailed information on how to diagnose the problem.
Again, do a google search on "P0742". -
tres_74 Posts: 16Check the Dealer Manual for your type and year of car. I have no idea if it will work for your car. You have to check there, since that's where we had been told to try the wire-clipping trick. If you have your own shop then maybe you can talk to your local GM Dealer's shop and just ask them about it, or if you can take a look at their dealer manual.
I haven't been able to find much on Google either, but then I'm not sure if I was searching for PO742 or P0742 (O vs. zero).
I still haven't noticed any change in my gas mileage either.

dtownfb Posts: 2,915Here's the link: http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl512b.htm
At the bottom of the question, the host has a link to Diagnosing the Torque Converter lockup. The 1998 Grand Prix GTP shares many of the same drivetrain components as the 1998 Intrigues. -
ribscars Posts: 5I have a 2000 Olds Intrigue, Recently I had a PO742 Torque converter stuck on. I reset it with my code reader never came back on. although I still here a whining when on the freeway when in drive if I put the transmission in 3rd it goes away(whining). I have a vibration or shaking in the front end when giving it gas I have replaced the Tie rod ends do to the grease boots were busted out (didnt help) Rotated tires (didnt help), I dont believe its the alignment because it doest pull and coasts just fine any body have any Ideas. I am getting ready to change the Transmission filter and fluid. On my Chevy Suburban the torque converter seperated (dealer said)it felt like the U-joints were going out i thought(shaked/vibrated)wrong.It was under warranty the replaced the whole Transsmision.. I thought maybe it could be the same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions what it might be.
edtennis Posts: 12001 Intrigue. Sitting at light in neutral the engine is quiet even if the gas pedal is pressed. Switch it to DRIVE and a deep noise starts continues on acceleration and then seems to dissapear, any ideas. Have added lube special fluid to transmission, Could it be the muffler? Torque converter?

mtram Posts: 6I have a 99 Olds Intrigue 3.8, 150K miles. I have a couple things going on and I'm not sure either are related to one another. One thing is, it goes dead while driving without any notice. The dash lights flash then goes off, no service engine light or anything. This is pretty scary because when it happens you loose power steering! The car cranks right back up without any problems. When it first started happening, I tried to pay more attention to when it was happening. I first thought it was when I let off the accelerator. Now, it also happens on the highway going 65MPH! The other thing I have noticed is the transmission seems to shift hard at times. I havent noticed any noise and it doesnt seem to be slippage. I have considered getting the transmission fluid changed but I've heard horror stories about ppl having transmission problems afterwards. Service background: I faithfully change oil/filter every 3,000. Recently had new plugs AND replaced fuel filter.
I would appreciate any help or suggestion on the car doing dead thing and the transmission issue!
Thanks in advance,
tres_74 Posts: 16To give an update on my P0742 situation, since the wire-clipping last summer, I haven't noticed much of any lowering in my mpg (other than the past few weeks when I've been warming my car up for 15 minutes prior to driving it each morning).
However, the wire-clipping has proven to only be a temporary fix until what seems to be (for the Intrigue anyway) the inevitable rebuilding of the transmission. Within the past couple months, I no longer can completely rely on my car to go in the instances that I will "gun it" to get onto the highways, etc. It will whine in too low of a gear, and I have to let off the gas, and hope I'm not in the middle of a busy intersection. It doesn't die, but it's not as reliable. Not good in the dead of winter in the Midwest either. Therefore, we'll be getting it rebuilt within the next couple months (tax refund come quickly!).

mikey60 Posts: 1I don't have answer for you, but I am wondering if you ever found out what the cause was for the engine stalling. My daughter has the same car and the same problem. She's also hauling around 3 kids (one an infant) and we live in MN so its a real problem right now during the winter!
mtram Posts: 6NO, I have not resolved the problem. I'm to the point of wanting to trade it in but I dont want the new car payment. I know exactly how you feel and your concerns for your daughter being stranded somewhere. I am a single parent and it is a constant worry for me. Not to mention the danger of losing the power steering, etc.
tres_74 Posts: 16Okay need some advice. We'll be getting money soon to fix the transmission on my car - - which we estimate will be $500-$1000. Now we're having 2nd thoughts. I still owe about $1200 on the car, and we're wondering if we should spend this kind of money on the car if perhaps it will still have big issues down the road. I've been searching the forums to see how people fared after fixing their tranny issues and I can't find a darned thing. Not sure if I'm not looking in the right places, or if happy people with happy intrigues aren't posting anything about their happy trannies.
So my question is, is this car doomed even IF I get the tranny fixed? Because it's starting to have issues again and it's either needing to get fixed very soon or traded off (even though I'd love to avoid a new car payment if at all possible since I'm so close to paying it off).
Thank you in advance,
~Tracy -
dtownfb Posts: 2,915I don't remember what year or how many miles you have on the Intrigue but if you are over 100k miles, you'll be lucky to get over $2000 on trade. No dealer in their right mind will give fair book value for an out of production, low demand car.
If everything else is working in the car fine, I would fix the car. You are looking at $2200 in repairs and payments to get free which is not a lot of money. Hopefully you can get another year out of the Intrigue without a major problem which will make the repair worthwhile. then you can save for a down payment on a new car if something else major happens.
I have not heard of any other issues with the transmission. -
tres_74 Posts: 16Sorry for the late response...
I have a 1999 Olds Intrigue GX with 128,000 miles on it.
And this is the only thing, besides general maintenance and wear and tear, that has given problems for this car. A good drive otherwise.
I would prefer to keep it and drive all I can out of it, especially because, like you mention, no car dealership will give me what it's really worth, even if I have it fixed. Usually in the past experiences I've had, they'll usually give you MAYBE $500-$1000 for the trade-in if it's that old. And Intrigues seem to be for sale EVERYWHERE around here too, so not really a hot commodity.
I really appreciate your honesty, thanks for your help!

playaplaya Posts: 1I have a 1999 Olds Intrigue with 133,000miles. There has been an oil leak but Im not sure if it has anything to do with this problem. The car just stop moving one day at a stop light. As soon as I push the gas it said "NO" and we were stuck at the light. It was making a LOUD, VERY LOUD grinding sound. None of the gears work, not P,R,N,D,2,or 1. I have to put on parking brake for car to stay still. What should I do, salvage and move on or fix??? some said it might just be the drive shaft?? :confuse:
dtownfb Posts: 2,915My suggestion is run it into the ground. You should get another 50k miles out of this car. Of course you have to do some repairs but what I found is if you do some searching on the internet, most of the problems are known with the Intrigue. Minus a full blown transmission, most of the repairs are fairly reasonable and some you can do yourself if you are handy under the hood.
tres_74 Posts: 16Well a couple weeks ago we took the car in to a small-town tranny shop who'd had rave reviews no matter where we turned - - and $1200 and a fully rebuilt transmission later, my car runs as my husband put it, "like an animal". It runs great, there must have been a lot of tranny issues that I just got used to because they came on gradually or something because it runs 200% better than it has in a LOOONNNNG time.
I'll have this car paid off by the end of this year, and I fully intend on just running it til it doesn't run anymore. After all, from my experiences with this car as well as what I've read online, the tranny is about the only major issue with this car and that's been taken care of. I've got a 1 year warranty on this rebuilt tranny so that's even better.
Thanks for all your advice and help. (And yes, thankfully my husband is able to do most everything as far as car repairs.)

carsrfun2 Posts: 3I would say you either have a problem with the Alternator or the ignition control Module (ICM) !!! It could be a misfire I have a 99 GLS 3.5 V6 and have had a 2 sensors replaced and the alternator!! Take it to a reputable mechinc I recomend ASE Master Techs!! Or Napa/ chevron shops!!
carsrfun2 Posts: 3I have a 99 intrigue with the 3.5L engine and I have a problem between 35-45 mph where it shifts really hard( you can feel it it almost feels like it misses 3rd. If you floor it, it will shift again at 60 mph really hard! Then I have a problem with a very high idol sometimes it idols as high has 3,000 RPM. Any ideas or any one have the same problem??
mtram Posts: 6I had the voltage on the battery and alternator check and it checked out fine. Also had a new starter and battery cables put in a week ago. After talking to several shops, my next try is the ignition control module. I'm told that the starting and going dead issue are two symptoms of the ICM going bad. Is there a way to check the ICM to be certain it is that before I pour more $$$ in to this car?
The problem I was having with the hard shifting is fixed. I had new plugs and wires put in and the car is running great with more power than ever. if the dang thing would crank and not go dead while driving I may get another 100K miles. The crazy thing is...it's so random. It may crank on the first try for 3-4 days then not crank. -
99intrigue Posts: 2My Olds had the same problem for a couple of years. I recently found out it is the "Crankshaft Position Sensor". That part of my car is fixed... I have 127k miles and just now having to replace motor mounts and possibly a transmission.
Just checking this site to see if anyone is having the transmission problem with the 3.5 ??. :confuse:

I'm a big fan of reading these stories to get ideas on being alert, and have yet to post one. Until now.
I was woken up in my apartment this morning by someone making lots of noise just outside of my bedroom door - not the apartment door. In an instant I am wide awake and reaching for my glasses and gun. I'm blind without my glasses - so it would have been bad to leave them out of the equation. I grab my Bersa, as it was closer than my Beretta, even though the M9 leaves bigger holes. I walk to my door, yank it open with gun already pointed... at the maintenance lady. She was changing our air filter. She freaked and screamed 'maintenance' at me. I luckily didn't pull the trigger, as was my first instinct. My finger was still on the rail rather than the inside the trigger gaurd.
I was thankful I didn't have to do anything, but it's the first time since I've been carrying (about 8 months) that I've even had the decocker off, other than at the range. Anything I could have done different? Better? Did I over-react?

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Savannah, a Shirley Hound (Unknown Type)/English Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Hound (Unknown Type)/English Bulldog for sale in Shirley, or seeking a Hound (Unknown Type)/English Bulldog dog from a breeder in Shirley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Shirley 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 Shirley 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 Hound (Unknown Type)/English Bulldog breeders who help with Hound (Unknown Type)/English Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Shirley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Restriction Testing
Continuing the same test method as before, I'm measuring restriction or pressure drop over the range of possible flow rates to get a complete look. I simply increase flow across the radiator at .5 GPM increments and record the pressure drop across the rad via manometer. My flow meter is a King Instruments 7520 with valve, my manometer is a Dwyer 477-5 digital manometer, and I have fabricated my own 1/2″copper x 1/4″ brass T fittings to avoid adding restriction to the test.
Radiators are generally pretty low in restriction, so this is normally not something to worry about much unless you plan to run several radiators in series.
First the detailed results:
Followed by a comparison:
Restriction is very low, just a hair higher than the HWlabs SR1. It's not quite down at UT60,RX360,G-Changer levels, but still very low. It is less than 1/3rd as restrictive as a low restriction CPU block so you should have no worries about connecting several of these together in series if needed.

Canadian Princess Resort saw plenty of action on the waters over the past few days including a double header of beautiful tyee salmon - one 36 lbs and one slightly bigger at 37 lbs It's not only the salmon fishermen that are having all the fun; those seeking halibut are also being rewarded. Halibut in the 30-50 lb range are a common sight on the docks, with more action on the water every day.
Over on the east coast of the island, with great weather, Minke whales in the water, excellent rapids and more tyees on the dock, Painter's Lodge and April Point Resort guests are needing to book an extra few days just to experience it all!

i have 10 chilli plants that i am growing.its winter i brought my plants in the house as all my plants are in pots.i found alot of aphids on all my plants .what can i use to get rid of them and is friendly for my plants and safe for me to be consumed |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lady bugs |
Good luck! You're going to have to keep after them indoors. Outside, natural predators take care of most of the problems, but, indoors / Winter - not so much. I trim the plants back so there's less to worry about and use insecticidal soap to keep them at bay. |
- Posted by Spongey600 San Diego Z10 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 13, 11 at 11:52
i have never over wintered plants but i say either one of the tips from above will work. but if i ever find myself in your shoes then i am going with lady bugs! they will stay on your plant till all aphids are gone, you can make up a insect net that would cover the whole plant and once you check and the aprihds are gone from oneplant you can move the netting to the next and continue till all are gone. |
Wash them off. and/or squish. Then repeat as needed. |
thanks guys but how do i make i insectiside soap |
There's recipes out there if you search, but, for the little I have needed, I just buy it (only a couple bottles a year). There's a difference in 'soap' and 'detergent' and I never really felt comfortable that I was able to find the right stuff. |
I had some aphids and spider mites show up to attack my pepper plant. After some reading here and elsewhere, here's what I did: Mix equal parts water and isopropyl alcohol. I used the wintergreen alcohol with 70% isopropyl. Then add a couple crushed cloves of garlic (or a couple teaspoons of the dry minced stuff). Put it in a spray bottle and let it sit a couple of hours so it mixes well. You might want to put your plant outside to spray it, because this stuff has a fairly ripe odor about it. The alcohol kills the pests quickly, while the wintergreen and garlic repel them. The alcohol evaporates pretty quickly, so it won't hurt the plant or the peppers. Be sure to spray underneath the leaves, too. You shouldn't need to spray it more than maybe once a week, tops. |
I've had excellent results from cold-pressed Neem Oil (from Dyna-Gro, but any PURE cold-pressed Neem Oil will work). I mix 2 Tbsp. Neem and 2 tsp. Soap (not detergent, real soap) into 1 Gallon of water, and mist the plant, making sure to cover everything. This prevents sucking insects from reproducing, but doesn't hurt helpful insects. It has a faint garlic or onion odor, but it's not very offensive. Apply it twice a week for the first couple of weeks, and once every week or two after that. It will not immediately kill the aphids, it will take a couple of weeks for it to work, and you will need to continue to treat them. But it is safer than many alternatives. This will help with spider mites, too, which frequently show up when you're growing inside. As others have said, continue to try to spray them off the plant and squish them whenever you can. It will be an ongoing battle, an you will probably never get rid of them completely, but a couple here and there won't hurt your peppers. Good luck, and enjoy your peppers! :-) |

Perfect recipe and perfect laddus...making laddus was never so easy....
Delicious, quick-to make laddus. They had the correct texture (soft and pliable) unlike other besan laddus which are usually dry and crumble on touch. The laddus I made disappeared in a jiffy!
