How Much Is Your Gibson Les Paul Vintage Guitar Worth?
By Gina Alessia
Whether you own a vintage Gibson Les Paul guitar or any other brand name guitar, no one can establish its value exactly. Vintage guitars price guides and price ranges can only estimate the price due to the big number of factors that can boil down the price of a vintage guitar.
Although you basically know how much your guitar's worth, the value depends a lot of the seller. How much money the buyer affords and how much he loves and values the guitar are determinant factors of the price.
A collector? A reseller? An enthusiast?
The price may be determined by the buyer. Usually, collectors tend to pay more for a vintage guitar because most of them know its historical significance and treat it like an investment for the future. Contrary to a collector can be a reseller. Reseller, usually, don't estimate the historical value of the guitar. They are likely to buy the guitar in the interest of making fast profits. It is as easy as buying cheaper and selling more expensive.
Is it an authentic Gibson Les Paul?
If your Gibson Les Paul guitar is authentic and in mint condition it could worth more than 150% than any price listed in price guides. A very rare model in mint condition could also skyrocket the price to more than 200%.
How rare is your Les Paul vintage guitar?
It is obviously that if you have a rare or limited edition vintage guitar the prices could significantly get higher. If the guitar you're selling is very hard to find and the demand is high is another factor that can push the price through the roof.
Did your guitar suffer any modifications?
The prices can drop up to 50-75% of the valued listed in any price-guide if the guitar you own is reconditioned. Especially if it suffered modifications to the body or to the neck. If you want to buy a vintage Gibson Les Paul guitar make sure you go to a professional first to take a look and upraise it.
Like I said in the beginning of the article, most of the prices you'll find on the Internet for the Gibson Les Paul vintage guitars are just estimates. There are a lot of price-guides out there, but you should never rely on these guides when selling or buying a vintage guitar. As their name says you must use the information only as a price guide.
Again, there are many determinant factors that can push up or pull down a Gibson Les Paul vintage guitar' price. It is strongly recommended to consult an authorized expert before taking any decisions.

A recent audit conducted by Mitchell, Emert & Hill found the city of Charleston to be in good financial standing for the 2012 fiscal year.
Senior auditor Gary Mitchell gave a brief overview of the information during Tuesday night's monthly session of the Charleston City Comm-ission.
"The report is an unqualified opinion, which means it is a clean audit opinion, which is a good thing," Mitchell said. "... The unassigned general fund balance at the end of 2012 which was $186,000 is approximately 43 percent of the general fund expenditures."
University of Tennessee's Municipal Technical Advisory Service recommends the general fund balance be at least in excess of 25 percent of your general fund expenditures, "To help [Charleston] cover any kind of rainy day situations [the city] may encounter."
The commission was once again reminded to consider increasing the number of people involved in signing checks for the city.
Mayor Walter Goode explained the reason checks are predominately signed by the city manager and city clerk is because the commission is smaller. Sometimes he and the commissioners, Donna McDermott and Frankie McCartney, are out of town or at work.
McCartney attended his first meeting as a commissioner Tuesday night.
"[The first meeting] was great. It went a lot better than I thought it would," McCartney said. "I thought I would freeze up, but everything was fine."
The first meeting was an opportunity for McCartney to sit back and observe the proceedings. The new commissioner hopes to "add a bit of character and input to the city of Charleston."
Discussion focused on what could be done with the building once used for a Dollar General.
McDermott suggested looking into grants to use the building as an education center.
McCartney proposed using the same building to house the increasing number of strays found in the city since animal control stopped picking up dogs and cats outside the Cleveland city limits.
Goode said Charleston is not the only one dealing with the problem of increased strays in Bradley County.
Other news discussed at the commission meeting included:
- Signing a new contract with the Bradley County Fire and Rescue. Goode tabled the discussion pending further talks between Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis, Goode and Fire Chief Troy Maney. The commission passed a motion allowing Goode to make a decision on the contract.
- Playground equipment has been purchased and is predicted to arrive by the week of September 16.
- Police Chief Hank Hayden said increased activity has been seen along the Charleston-Bradley County border. He reported his two officers have done a good job responding to the burglary calls.
- The Charleston-Calhoun-Hiwassee Historical Society will meet Sunday, Aug. 18 at 3 p.m. at the Hiwassee Heritage Center in Charleston.

I am updating a gas 30 inch cook top to stainless in an island. A dealer recommends the Jenn Air cooktop but it seemed very basic. I also have researched a GE Profile series that seemed to have more features. I am planning on selling the house in less than 2 years. I am wondering though if people are more drawn to the Jenn Air name? I have a Sub Zero and Jenn air double ovens that are staying. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The repair man just left and our 30" Jenn Air slide in range just got an estimate of repair for $700.00! Stay away from Jenn Air. It is only 4 years old. I am so disgusted with them. |
Ouch! The cooktop I am looking at is under $1000.00 so that would be a nightmare repair! Thanks |

Because it wasn't there, as George Mallory did not say about Mount Everest.
Fantasy, of course, is the mother lode, fiction with the gloves off, the root from which all other genres sprout. All the greatest storytellers have used it—Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Dickens. Every other genre can be alloyed with fantasy, so we get historical fantasy, "magic realism" upmarket fantasy, romantic fantasy, scientific fantasy (SF), and Louis L'Amour wrote at least one fantasy western.
The strangest mix of all, though, has to be detective-story fantasy. The term seems oxymoronic—a whodunit must be based on hard, if obscure, facts, which should logically identify one person as the only possible villain. How can such a plot stand up if it has supernatural termites gnawing at its foundations, if the murderer can teleport or the sleuth has the Sight? The answer, as the late Randall Garrett demonstrated so convincingly in his Lord Darcy stories, is that the magic must be very carefully defined and restricted.
But that is true of the magic in all fantasy. I had written epic fantasy and historical fantasy, but I had never tried a whodunit fantasy. So that's why: because it wasn't there—yet. It was a challenge to myself, just to see if I could.
So why Venice? Janet and I first visited Italy in 1996. We had one day in Venice. Of course it stole our hearts, as it has stolen every visitor's heart in the last eight hundred years. In 2001 we went back with a wonderful Smithsonian Institute tour and spent a week there, soaking up the art and the history. I became a Venice geek. I caught an infection, the urge to set a story there, and it began to incubate as soon as I got home. This was pure hubris. I cannot speak or read Italian, let alone Veneziano, the language of the historical Venetian state. Fortunately Venice still has many of its state records dating back to the Middle Ages, so enough books have been written about the city to fill the lagoon. I own more than thirty now and have read many more.
Venice was not a democracy as we understand the word, but it kept its independence for eleven hundred years, the longest-surviving republic in world history. Hostile armies could not cross the lagoon and navies could not sail in it when the Venetians removed the channel markers, as they did in time of war.
A city of no more than 200,000 people, it won and lost an empire not once but three times, then spent the last three centuries of its existence sinking into a soporific decadence of sex, tourism, and gambling, the Las Vegas of Europe. My story is set around 1595, when the great days were over and it had entered into its long decline, but it was not until 1797, two centuries later, that a French army under Napoleon Bonaparte arrived on the shore with artillery that could reach across the lagoon to bombard the city. Rather than see Venice destroyed, the Great Council voted itself out of existence and Lodovico Manin, the only mainlander ever elected doge, took off the corno crown as a sign of his abdication.
Venice had a bizarre and complex system of government, far stranger than anything I have ever invented (and I have designed more worlds than God). It was by far the most innovative city in Europe, and has given the English language several words, including arsenal, gazette, gondola, lagoon, lido, sequin, and ghetto. (Although it treated its Jews much better than most cities did.) It never burned a heretic. It invented legal aid, the production line, table forks, and newspapers. It had street lights on the canals by 1128 and a department of health by 1335; it lured all the best doctors in Italy to come and live there.
Which brings us to Phillip de Nostradame. I don't know if he ever visited Venice, but he likely did, because he published almanacs in Italy, and Venice was the publishing capital of Europe. He claimed to be a nephew of the great Michel de Nostradame. Michel's children denied this, but who knows now who was lying four hundred years ago?
So there was the challenge: could I write a fantasy whodunit, set in Venice, starring the astrologer-alchemist-magician-detective, Filippo Nostradamus? By May of 2004, I was ready to start work.
I came, I saw, I concocted. In September I turned in the result to Janet, always my first reader. She thought it worked; my ever-patient group of reader friends said it did. So did Ace, with enough faith in its judgment that it ordered a couple of sequels as well. I hope you will agree with all these good people's opinion.
My thanks, of course, to the example set by Randall Garrett, and also to the late Rex Stout—if you know his work, you'll understand why I mention him.
If you enjoy my book, please tell the world about it.

This is the second of hopefully 7 threads (1 per faction) that will evolve as my limited experience and the LCG evolves. As with the other threads, a convention of 1.5 Core = adding the 3rd card of doubles is used. Once again, all suggestions, advice and criticisms are welcome as I am no expert, just good at analysing game mechanics.
Just as I believe Haas-Bioroid (the first handbook) is currently the strongest Corp, I believe Shaper is currently the strongest runner. This section explains my reasoning.
At this snapshot in the LCG's evolution, Criminal is considered the strongest runner deck (based on results). But I suggest this is more a reflection of Corp players not knowing the safeguards to counter Gabriel's tricks. Sure Criminal has strengths (great early game, Corp must protect all servers, credits, ice breaker search, anti-tag resources) that more than compensate for its weaknesses (no card draw, poor ice, no ice credits, poor late game). But the weakness of Criminal is that the hurt from its many events (resulting in program fragility) can be minimised. And without his tricks, Gabriel is mediocre.
Here are simple safeguards that any Corp player should take when playing against Gabriel.
1. Place the your first 2 ice on HQ (vs. Inside Job)
2. Have enough credit to rez any 1 ice installed (vs. Forged Activation Order)
3. Leave an unrezzed ice on HQ (vs. Account Siphon)
4. Install your 3rd ice on Archives (Sneakdoor Beta eats memory, cannot combo with Inside Job)
5. Install weak ice at the front of each key server (vs. Inside Job)
6. Create weak remotes with 1 worrying unrezzed ice for PADs (vs. Bank Job)
Following the above rules where possible, Criminal becomes far less effective.
Anarch suffers from poor credit, the cornerstone of any deck. No wonder Noise is so disaffected with society – he's always broke, relying on Stimhacks for big runs. It's no coincidence that the 2 most fun factions to play, Anarch and Jinteki, are also the focus of the first 2 data packs, as they need a boost.
Shaper (specifically Kate) is not about tricks and does not rely on weak ice. Her build is self-contained and hard to disrupt by the Corp. She builds an awesome rig then efficiently runs at any assets placed in the remote fort (and occasionally R&D). She is the runner clone of Haas-Bioroid, not just with her identity mechanic (more limited than HB) but also because both factions play the efficient long game that can't be bypassed by good play. I contend both factions fear the other as their worst opponent.
Kate has weaknesses. The Corp never needs to spread thinly by protecting Archives, unlike the other 2 core runners. She is vulnerable to early quick agendas scored by NBN (but, much like Haas-Bioroid, who can be mugged by Criminal early game, eventually her long game should catch up against NBN). Kate has links in identity, console and Rabbit Holes. Prior to WLA, I play Sacrificial Constructs instead of Rabbit Hole against her most feared Corp (but ZU.13, Ash and Draco in WLA change this dynamic).
Just as Corps play differently against each runner (some Criminal safeguards above), runners should try to follow some basic safeguards based on the Corp faced.
1. End turn with 4-5 grip vs. Weyland/NBN/Jinteki (vs. Scorched Earth, Jinteki ice & identity ability)
2. End turn on 5-7 credits vs. NBN/Weyland (vs. Closed Accounts, threaten Gamble vs. Red Herring)
3. Never run blind into ice without a killer (sentries trash programs, Rototurret is only 1 influence)
4. Avoid running with less than 3 grip (Snare in HQ/R&D, a Wall of Thorns is only 1 influence)
5. Take safeguards if blindly accessing advanced assets (6 grip vs. Junebug, Construct vs. Secretary)
6. Prepare for first click runs vs. Haas-Bioroid (but also minimise click-intensive exploratory runs)
Currently, following rules 1 and 2 above, runners often ignore multiple NBN tags (save clicks/credits) and when a remote fort is empty, they hit HQ (if runner finds Psychographics in HQ, switch to R&D). This is another reason why proposed (pre-WLA) decks favour Sacrificial Constructs over Rabbit Holes.
Kate has another advantage over the other runners. Currently, due to the cost of Toolbox and having memory chips, she does not need 3 Core sets as much as the other runners (who want to install their console early). So this first instalment looks at the evolution of Kate from 1 Core to 2 Core + WLA.

Summit can breathe easily now that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have gotten Edward and Vampire Bella back together not long before Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 finishes it's run. Nothing like true love to keep the box office going.
Kristen Stewart's father is claiming credit for bringing Robert Pattinson's Edward back to his daughter the Vampire Bella, but you be sure that Summit had a heavy hand in this to protect those Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 box office numbers in November. As we reported earlier in the month when that British Vogue story came out, if they got back together, it would really keep Twilight news going all the way through the final film's release.
Doesn't this remind you a little of when images 'leaked' out from Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1, and then those reports that Bella's birth was inducing seizures among audience members? Well this is the kind of love story that tops all of that and feeds right into the Twilight fans dreams. What's better than the been done wrong, Pattinson remains a gentlemen, then accepts the Trampires apology and they live together all over again until the final Twilight film's credits roll. Pattinson definitely wins fans hearts even more for being so forgiving after being given many reasons not to be. Especially after Stewart revealed so much in that article.
So it looks like everyone will be happy with this outcome…Twilight fans and mainly Summit knowing that this should push Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 box office as over the top as this entire story has been playing out in the media.

Pick Your Poison: Traditional Uses of the Kigelia Tree
The kigelia, or "sausage tree," is a common sight in the Serengeti.
Photo: Wikipedia
It may have a mouth-watering name, but don't eat from the sausage tree (the popular name for the kigelia) unless you know what you're doing!
Tall, with smooth grey bark and beautiful, bell-shaped flowers, the kigelia tree is often cultivated ornamentally, but Tanzanian tribes have long been putting the tree's eponymous sausage-shaped fruits—as well as its leaves and bark—to all sorts of uses for generations.
Some of the myriad health problems treated with extracts from various parts of the tree include malaria, headaches, syphilis and other venereal diseases, rheumatism, inflamed spleen, ulcers, and gastro-intestinal issues (just to name a few). The fruit is known to have anti-microbial properties, and is thought to help with skin problems like eczema and psoriasis. It often even makes its way into high-end anti-aging and beauty products!
The heavy oblong fruits give the sausage tree its vernacular name.
Photo: Wikipedia
So why call it poison?
First off, one of the most popular ways to use the sausage tree's fruits is in a traditional beer enjoyed by the Kikuyu people (get it?). Secondly, if you consume the tree's fruits raw, they're highly poisonous. So that one's pretty literal.
(Which reminds us of one more "medicinal" property ascribed to the tree: it's an extremely effective emetic.)
In order to make the fruits safe for beer brewing, they must first be sun-dried, then fermented with sugar cane juice for around 24 hours, then dried again, before finally being added to a large barrel of sugar cane juice, where they'll ferment for around four days. The final beverage should taste sour, smell boozy, and hopefully not act as an immediate emetic (at least when consumed in moderation).
Besides being drunk, the beer is also commonly used as a soothing bath for children suffering from measles (whether "retains the fruit's anti-inflammatory properties" makes a drink more or less appealing, of course, is a matter of personal preference).
Beyond potential poisonousness, and the very real chance of inebriation, there's another good reason to be cautious of the sausage tree and its famous fruits: their size.
Dense and fibrous, the fruits can grow to over three feet in length, weighing upwards of 22 pounds. That's a serious enough missile that even safari vehicles (a notoriously rugged lot) can take serious damage from the falling fruits.
So enjoy the lovely flowers and strange, sausage-like fruits of the kigelia tree…preferably from a safe distance.
Sausage fruits aren't the ONLY thing that can fall out of kigelia trees…

Logan High School basketball coach Jeff Brimhall introduced Brok Nelson. Brok was recently selected for 4-A All-State
recognition. He was also named Most Valuable Player for the Herald Journal All-Valley Team. Coach Brimhall said it
has been a great honor to see Brok receive these awards. He is a great example, a good leader, and has been one of the
most dedicated players Coach Brimhall has ever seen. Brok told board members he has had a lot of good people influence
him including his grandpa and uncle who were also all-state players. He thanked his coach and team mates and said
without them he could not have the success he has had. Principal Patt Hansen said Brok is not only a great athlete but is
also one of the nicest boys at Logan High School. She thanked his mother, who was in attendance, and paid tribute to
Coach Brimhall and Brok for the great basketball season. President Redd presented Brok with a certificate of
congratulations from the Board. She also presented Coach Brimhall with a certificate congratulating him and the Logan
High School Basketball Team for their outstanding year. Coach Brimhall thanked the Board for their support and presented
each member with a small plaque containing a piece of the net from the region championship game.
Principal Dave Welch introduced Diane Iverson who was selected as Bridger Elementary School Teacher of the Year.
Diane has taught in the Logan City School District for ten years and currently teaches second grade. Principal Welch said
Diane is an excellent teacher and they are very fortunate to have her. She is well prepared, organized, creative, and on
the cutting edge of teaching the literacy model. Diane does a good job using technology in her classroom and uses a lot
of hands-on activities with her students.
Principal Welch introduced Nancy Griffin as Bridger Elementary School's Classified/Support Employee of the Year.
Nancy is the school secretary and does a fantastic job. Principal Welch said she is very organized and has a calming
influence which has helped immensely in easing students, parents, and staff into a new school. He thanked Diane and
Nancy for the great contribution they are to Bridger. President Redd presented them each with a certificate of
congratulations from the Board of Education along with a certificate for dinner at a local restaurant.
To satisfy one of the standards for the Comprehensive Guidance Program Counselors from Mount Logan Middle School,
Logan High School, and South Campus presented information about the programs at their schools for Board approval.
Teri Painter discussed what the counselors are doing to promote parent participation in SEOP's at the Mount Logan
Middle School. She described the procedure used for fifth grade registration and told board members how counselors,
teachers, and administrators work to transition students to the middle school setting.
Clint Fullmer talked about Comprehensive Guidance at Logan High School and distributed data about their program. He
said the Freshman Block, initiated this year, has been very successful in helping students at risk. The Freshman Block
is a group of core classes taught the full school year by excellent teachers and the purpose of the program is to give
students continuity and the extra help they need to succeed in the high school setting. He reviewed registration procedures
and explained how they combine this with SEOP visits since it is a great way to reach parents and students. Teri and Clint
thanked Stuart Howell for his support in helping them implement programs to improve Comprehensive Guidance.
Amber Carlston, counselor at South Campus, explained this is the first year there has been a full time counselor at the
school and said it has been a challenge. She said the school is scheduled to undergo a Comprehensive Guidance Review
April 18. Everyone at the school is working to prepare documentation for this review because it is a good way for them
to assess their program. Principal Elaine Wilcox explained that they have their most success holding SEOP meetings in
conjuction with parent nights. The Board approved the Comprehensive Guidance Program report for all three schools.
Principal Elaine Wilcox, teacher Harvey Neuber, and counselor Amber Carlston presented information about
"Performance Plus." "Performance Plus" is a system of competency based education where emphasis is on what the
students learn or know rather than on what classes they sit through. This system is motivation dependant. For some
students it works very well and some, who are way behind, struggle a bit more. This program more effectively meets the
needs of individuals and allows them to move at their own pace. Principal Wilcox said that exceptional students can move
through high school at a faster pace where challenged students can get the help they need and move through at a slower
pace. Amber described how the students meet with her and Principal Wilcox to determine what they need to do to graduate
and said that each student carries a card listing his/her exact requirements. Board members asked questions about the
program and expressed concern about students who are struggling with reading. Principal Wilcox reported they have hired
a couple of tutors and also have volunteers to help and said this is very valuable especially with ESL students. She said
they especially appreciate multilingual volunteers to help tutor.
The Board approved the recommendation from the selection committee and Superintendent Richard Jensen that Mike
Monson be hired to fill the position of Personnel Director. The position will become vacant the end of June when Myra
Lynch retires. Superintendent Jensen praised Mrs. Lynch saying she is very knowledgeable, a great asset to the District,
and will be sorely missed. Mr. Monson has worked 26 years as an educator and brings to the table those skills and abilities
necessary to be a successful personnel director. He began his career teaching at Granger High School in West Valley
City. His experience also includes teaching and coaching for the Department of Defense in Japan, England, and Germany.
He was an Assistant Principal at Mount Logan Middle School for eight years and is currently an Assistant Principal at
Logan High School. Mr. Monson introduced his wife Chris and also his mother-in-law. He said it is very humbling and
exciting to have the opportunity to work with the people in Logan City School District. He acknowledged the influence
Principal Dan Johnson and Principal Patt Hansen have had on his life and said he looks forward to the challenge of this
new experience and vowed to do his best.
President Redd announced there will be a Board Work Session on Tuesday, April 12. This will be part of the regularly
scheduled Board Meeting and no action will take place. Board Work Sessions will also be held June 28th and July 12th.
Superintendent Richard Jensen told board members that each year the Utah State Office of Education gives awards for
excellence in financial reporting. He said that 11 districts were recognized this year and Logan City School District was
one of them. He publicly acknowledged Business Administrator Paul Jensen for the excellent way he works to handle state
and federal funds that come our way. He also thanked the business office and District Administrators for their frugal
handling of funds. Superintendent Jensen reported a furnace motor went out at Woodruff Elementary School triggering
a switch that set off a fire alarm. This happened on Monday, near the end of the school day and during a heavy rainstorm.
It was uncomfortable for students and teachers, however the situation was handled very appropriately. Superintendent
Jensen reported the motor was repaired and complimented the principal and all involved for the organized way they
handled the events of the day.

Thanks for a recipe I know I will make again."
"This chicken is so very good. I had to put a couple cloves of garlic in with the stuffing mixture, how can you have Greek food without garlic. Will be making many more times."
"I am not really sure what a Cannoli tastes like, but this dessert is very good. It is rich and creamy. I did not use the whole jar of caramel topping and am glad I didn't as it was quite sweet enough with what was used (about 3/4 of the jar).Thank you for a wonderful dessert which was easy to make in the morning and then forget about until dinne..."
"Made this wonderful dish for supper last night. The only package of chicken I had were boneless breasts and thighs, so I used it, I must say I really enjoyed the thighs better than the breasts, just because I like dark meat. Will make this again and again perhaps trying with just thighs next time. Thanks for a great dish and this is definately ..."
"My DH gave this a five star, but I am giving it a four just because I thought it could use a little extra zing. I followed the instructions exactly, it came together very well, as I was to pour in the cream I was wondering how this was going to taste and if would come together, but the heat was not at a boil and it mixed well to create a very nice..."
"I have made these many times for showers and pot lucks, kids really like them. Just a note I always use the mini colored marshmallows."
"These are great to make for Xmas presents. Throughtout the year I shop a second hand stores and buy metal loose cute spoons, I found some heart shaped spoons this year and use those so they can keep the spoon afterwards. Also I buy big mugs to put spoon and individual chocolate mixes and a cookie or two then wrap with cellephane, an excellent gif..."
"Oh my, I had forgetten all about these, haven't made them in many years. Well I know what we are having for supper tonight. Thanks so much for bringing back this recipe. "
"This recipe was so easy to put together and had such a great taste, always looking for easy Mexican dinners, you can only eat so many tacos. Left out the pinto beans as DH doesn't like the texture of them. Will certainly make many more times. Thank you"

As incredibly difficult as it may be to believe, the Getting Blanked endorsement doesn't count for much. Sadly, after throwing the might of our support behind Pat Doran to endure the particularly cruel and unusual punishment of viewing every single baseball game that's played in 2012 while imprisoned in a New York City condominium unit for the summer, Mr. Doran wasn't even shortlisted for the job.
Instead, the powers that be at MLB Fan Cave selected these fifty finalists. Out of this collected mire has emerged Ricky Mast, an Atlanta Braves fan, whose promo video actually leaves the viewer wanting more rather than feeling as though the last five minutes of their life have been stolen from then in a viciously cruel manner.
If for not any other reason, a vote for Mr. Mast might result in an extended version of his wonderful Pink Floyd parody, Statistically Dumb.
If not Mr. Mast, this guy could be pretty good:

I like stories where cops look like the cops of my youth and not the paramilitary commandos we see today.
Almost brought a tear to my eye, seeing that kid playing by himself. That's the kind of experience he will remember for the rest of his life. Maybe in a time of conflict he will reflect back on the day a cop pulled over just to play catch with him...proof that there are people who care. One simple act of kindness goes so far.
This is what community policing is all about. In Portland the cops are either driving or have their face buried in their MDC. They are too busy to interact with the community.
That is "serving." Â Painting a positive light on law enforcement and hopefully helping to keep this kid out of trouble and have a little more respect for Law Enforcement. Â I wish there were more stories like this and less about murders, rapes, drugs, violence, gangs, etc. Â This country needs some heart warming stories.

poncho167 Posts: 1,178Definately don't continue with the Fram because they are known to be bad. AC/Delco filters are the best in the business. The interior of the frame is the problem. The use a paper filter that will deteriote and the interior valve will let particals back into the engine. The AC/Delco has a screen and a OEM valve that does not allow junk to flow back. I have read the tests done on filters and Fram is not good, believe me.

poncho167 Posts: 1,178I am not sure about the fuel filter but I wouldn't doubt Fram is subpar in this as well.
For air filter the AC/Delco has been known to be among the best in protecting your engine. Test after test it has been proven to trap more dirt than any other. Wix brand are supposed to also be good with oil and air.
I thought I saved it but I can't find a recent lab test showing the AC/Delco air filter superior to all others. Not only is it very good at flowing air but it traps more partical than any other. -
gerald41 Posts: 37When it comes to oil filters or oil all major brands will be fine unless you push the milage between oil changes. I myself change the oil in my car at around 2,500 give or take a 100 miles. I use whatever is on sale, Fram, Pennzoil etc. It only makes a difference if you go above the 3,000 miles intervals. When I had valve cover gaskets replaced on my 94 cavalier the engine looked as good as new with no build-up of junk in it, and probably have used fram filters more than any other brand. The same thing with oil I always use Castrol GTX 5-30. If you change your oil at 3,000 miles or less your wasting money on synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is for people who go 4-5 thousand bettween oil changes. If Fram was so bad they would have been either re-worked or pulled from the market by now.

You are making a blanket statement about spin-on filters. You can't compare a spin-on to a cartridge. I also like AC/Delco, but people have to reallize the Ecotec engines don't even use spin-on oil filters. I've used AC/Delco, Hengst, Fram, and Purolator on my Ecotoecs. I still like the AC/Delco the best. It seems better made and the pleats don't "shred". -

Almost ALL spin on auto oil filters use paper as the filter medium. What is unusual about the Fram filters is that Fram uses paper for the end caps. Other brands have metal end caps that the pleated paper is seated in, and plastisol is used to provide a seal. Fram uses a dense, felt-like paper instead of steel to make the end caps, and they use glue to achieve the seal.

harrisblack Posts: 28
tsjay Posts: 4,591If a good seal is established, it shouldn't matter.
The steel end cap has a lip on the outer cricumference and a concentric lip inside of the outter lip. A layer of plastisol is dispensed into the trough in between these lips, and the pleated paper filter cartridge is seated into the plastisol. Then heat is applied to cure the plastisol and the paper. That is the traditional method for getting "end seal" on spin-on oil filters.
You can decide for yourself which method would give the best chance for a good seal.

tsjay Posts: 4,591Poncho:
I think your must be talking about the faulty anti-drainback valves that were found in some Fram filters a few years ago. I'm assuming they have corrected the problem, but I have nothing to back that up.
Anti-drainback valves allow oil to flow into the filter, but not back out of the filter. The only way oil is supposed to be able to leave the filter is through the center tube, after passing through the pleated filter paper that surrounds the center tube.
The purpose of the anit-drainback valve is to prevent the oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is shut off. If the filter were mounted vertically and right-side-up, then the anti-drainback valve would be unnecessary, but most filters are mounted horizontally, which means that without any pressure in the system, the oil would run back out of the filter to the crankcase.
The problem with letting the oil drain out of the filter when the engine is shut off is that the filter would have to fill up again when the engine is started before any oil would begin circulating to the moving parts. Those few seconds without oil flow at every start-up of the engine would have a cumulative effect in shortening engine life.

rweldon Posts: 1I have been using full synthetic for years and it is worth the extra money. There are many brands and as many arguments about who has the best. Regardless of which one you pick, Stick to it, don't change brands after you start. The 3,000 mile change rule should always apply. It will pay big dividends ten years down the road. Regarding oil filters, again draw a circle on the ground, take every brand and throw them up in the air, whichever lands in the circle use it. Is one better than another, (thought) is it worth the worry? Change every 3,000 with a new filter and the motor will stay clean and your rod and crank bearings will thank you for it.
harrisblack Posts: 28
tsjay Posts: 4,591I disagree with your assumption that all oil filters will perform equally.
The dirt holding capacity may not be much of a factor, if you are on a 3000 mile drain interval, but the quality of construction, the performance of the anti-drainback valve, and the amount of time the filter is in the by-pass mode (like on cold starts), are not necessarily going to be the same across the brands.

I'm going to give the 10 Southland opponents of House Bill 161 the benefit of the doubt.
They voted against legislation Tuesday aimed at fighting fraud in the state's food stamp program, which is distributed on plastic Link cards.
Obviously, those 14 legislators haven't heard from many of you, as I have, about abuses in the system.
Several columns I wrote on the subject spurred dozens of emails, letters and phone calls from readers with firsthand knowledge of the broken system.
I heard from grocery clerks, gas station attendants, state workers, sales associates and even cardholders themselves who described numerous loopholes within the Link program.
The bill that passed the House 64-48, without the support of 14 area lawmakers, requires the Department of Human Services to study options for placing photos on Link cards. That way, cardholders can't trade them or sell them for cash, which is one of the problems. Currently, the cards can be transferred to whomever.
The system is designed to help families meet their nutritional needs and supplement their incomes, not sustain a black market.
I'm going to presume the Southland lawmakers who didn't support the bill — which merely authorized a study — were ill-informed and unaware of widespread abuses. The list of Southland lawmakers who voted against the measure is included here so you can enlighten them, as you did me.
Formerly called food stamps, money from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program loaded by the government onto Link cards allows shoppers to purchase groceries. Users are not supposed to spend the money for tobacco, alcohol, hot deli items, lunch-counter dining, vitamins, medicine, pet food or kitchen items, such as aluminum foil.
But there's a loophole. Link cards have two purses. The cards also serve as the federal government's vehicle for cash assistance, called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. That money is supposed to go toward basic necessities.
But it is as good as cash. So after buying groceries, cardholders can withdraw the second program's cash from an ATM and then buy whatever they want.
A bill sponsored by state Sen. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) that died in a Senate subcommittee would have required the state to add photo identification to Link cards.
McCarter's bill arose from a case near his downstate district in which a convenience store owner got caught buying Link cards from cardholders for less than what they were worth. The cardholders needed cash, and the store owner then used the Link cards at other retailers to restock his store.
Based on the anecdotal evidence I gathered from readers, that scenario is not isolated. Retailers scam the system, too.
"This issue should have come from the (Department of Human Services), and instead we're sitting here having to ask them to do something about it," McCarter told me. "They think because it's federal money we should just ignore fraud. Bureaucrats don't like change, and they're typically not that innovative, and so we're going to have to help them get into the 21st century and insist they change."
McCarter's idea got watered down in a House bill that simply requires the Department of Human Services to study the idea of adding photos to Link cards during the next six months.
Seems like a no-brainer, but opponents managed to frame the debate as a costly, mean-spirited attempt to humiliate poor people. State Rep. Ken Dunkin (D-Chicago) accused bill supporters of "picking on poor people."
We all know that's bull, but the theatrics managed to persuade many Democrats to vote against requiring a study.
Only three Southland Democrats voted for it: Emily McAsey, of Lockport; Jack McGuire, of Joliet; and Bob Rita, of Blue Island. State Rep. Renee Kosel (R-New Lenox) also voted for the study.
The rest of our Southland lawmakers voted against the measure, declining an opportunity to infuse more accountability into taxpayer-supported programs. That's unfortunate.
Luckily, the bill passed anyway.

for some reason the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom quote popped in my head: "Alibaba will rule the world!". lol
article [news.yahoo.com]
Nov. 6 -- Alibaba.com Ltd., operator of China's largest online trading site for companies, almost tripled on its first day after an initial public offering in Hong Kong, making the stock four times more expensive than Google Inc. relative to earnings.
The Chinese company's shares closed at HK$39.50 from their HK$13.50 offer price. That gives Hangzhou-based Alibaba a market value of $25.7 billion, closing in on Yahoo Japan Corp. as Asia's biggest Internet company.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (2/7/14) — According to Madisonville Mayor David Jackson's office, the recent adverse weather events have placed a higher demand on the Transportation Department's road salt supply.
According to a press release issued by the mayor's office, the city road department's suppliers have indicated that there will not be shipments of salt in the near future.
As a result, the city of Madisonville is implementing a priority snow route plan.
First priority streets include Arch Street (east), Center (east and west), Clinic Drive, North Franklin Street, Hospital Drive (Main to railroad tracks), Kentucky Avenue (north and south), Island Ford Road (bridge only), Laffoon Street, McCoy Avenue, Main Street (north and south), North Street and Princeton Road.
Second priority streets include Arch Street (west), Broadway (east and west), Grapevine Road, Hall Street, Madison Square Drive, South Madison Avenue, Murray Street, W. Noel Avenue, Park Avenue, Parkwood Drive, Pride Avenue, Seminary Street (north and south) and Scott Street (north and south).
Plowing city streets will continue when conditions allow and application of road salt will resume when supplies are restored, according to the press release.SurfKY News

You have already consulted with them regarding the subject matter (a logo, a website, a brochure, etc.) and you've written up a design brief. It's time to let your creative juices flow. For goodness sake, this is why the client signed the contract and sent the check. Now, go ahead and "wow"them!

Angels willing to go all-in with Josh Hamilton | Commentary

Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Outside, a red carpet stretched into the happiest restaurant on Earth, filled with giggling little girls and twinkling television trinkets and jolly Josh Hamilton squeezing his giant frame into a cheery red Angels jersey.
All that was needed was a holiday toast, a very particular toast, one that many were contemplating but none were bold enough to make.
Standing in the back, team owner Arte Moreno generously complied.
"The Dodgers, Merry Christmas, I personally can hardly wait to play them," he said.
And so in a Disney eatery on a bright morning in December, the Angels delightfully did what they always seem to do this time of year. They gave their fans the gift of hope, they gave Dodgers fans the lumpy coals of annoyance, and they filled the Southern California sports landscape with the blessing of buzz.
"I'm excited to see Arte getting after it," Hamilton said with a grin, and aren't we all?
The news conference welcoming the Angels' newest heist — former Texas Rangers slugger and outfielder Hamilton, five years, $125 million — was filled with every bit of the boldness such a move requires.
There was Hamilton, sitting on a stage, elaborate tattoos peeking out from below the cuff of his rolled-up dress shirt, smiling and drawling through painfully honest answers about his painfully obvious past.
"Obviously, I have a past history of making mistakes, drug and alcohol and all that," he said. "I'm so happy to see and hear an organization say, 'We're so excited and happy we got you, no matter what the risk is.' "
There was Moreno, standing in a small side room, talking about making a five-year investment based on a single meal.
"We went to Dallas and had lunch with him, we talked for four hours about everything," Moreno said. "We looked him in the eyes ... we're in love with the player, we like the person, and we want an opportunity to go out there and try to win."
Then there was the giant garland-draped elephant in the room, a Dodgers team whose winter spending spree headlines had just been grabbed by an Angels talent of Matt Kemp proportions, with a story of struggle and redemption that is far more Hollywood. The Dodgers were a great narrative, now suddenly the Angels are equally as compelling, and you thought last year's freeway fusses were good ones?
"Think about how much fun it's going to be," Moreno said. "Dodger fans and Angel fans get to argue about whose team is better, who's stronger, who's weaker ... do you know how much fun it's going to be"
Of course, in true Los Angeles tradition, last summer both starry lineups fell from the sky, neither team made the playoffs, so nothing is guaranteed, particularly on an Angels team that had this same sort of celebration last year when it signed Albert Pujols.
Moreno was clearly angered by recent failures, and Hamilton is clearly a response to that anger. Hamilton is a reaction to three consecutive years without a playoff appearance, a statement that nine seasons of ownership without a World Series appearance is enough.
"How many times do you go out there, you have a really good team, and it just doesn't work?" Moreno said. "How many games have we sat there and said, 'Really?' Do you know how many games we gave away last year?"
Moreno admitted Hamilton is a risk. He also admitted, as an owner who thinks like a fan, he felt he had no choice.
"We have every statistical analysis but the reality is, at the end of the day, people want hope," Moreno said. "I look at this positively and I said, 'I hope.' "
He hopes Hamilton, 31, does not relapse into the drug and alcohol issues that derailed the first five years of his career, and then haunted him again twice in the last four seasons. He hopes Hamilton can be closer to the player who had 18 home runs and drove in 41 runs in the first 31 games last season — baseball's best overall start in 80 years — than the guy who crumbled in the Rangers' final two losses.
You know what is so interesting about all this?
Hamilton admits he can only hope the same thing. He is honest enough to acknowledge that every day is a challenge that even a most-valuable-player award and two World Series appearances cannot diminish. He is, after all, the first player in Angels history whose welcoming news conference included the introduction of an accountability partner, a former strength coach named Shayne Kelley who will accompany him everywhere on the road in hopes of providing the structure that will keep him from further relapses.
"I need structure," Hamilton admitted. "My support system is with me always."
I asked him if he understood the increased temptations of playing in Southern California. He said he knew all about them from reading the Los Angeles Times. He said he was kidding. But then he got serious.
"If you want to get in trouble, it don't matter where you're at," he said. "If you make the choice to do something bad or wrong, you can do it, period. I try not to make choices to do bad stuff, no matter where I'm at."
Hamilton's honesty and vulnerability make you want to cheer for him. The same goes for Moreno's continued commitment to a championship, no matter the gamble.
"We've had some really good teams, and whether it's chemistry, the stars, the planets, everything wasn't aligned, we didn't get there," Moreno said. "It's just great having an opportunity to chase it down."
I've never seen them chase like they've chased the last two years, emptying their wallets twice for two of the game's greatest hitters, the owner then offering holiday greetings to rival fans while acknowledging he can't wait to battle them.
"It's gonna be a good ride," Hamilton said, strapping in tight, holding on for dear life.

I'm looking for a rubber plant for my bedroom, den and sunroom. They are supposed to be good for cleaning the air. I haven't found one yet. I checked Walmart and Lowes |
Follow-Up Postings:
Other places to try are Home Depot and Target. If the Grocery stores in your area has a greenery section they are likely to have them also. |
I have a beauty that I purchased at Lowes two years ago, it has quadrupled in size. They have a nice selection of tropicals at the Lowes in Gastonia, I am sure they do elsewhere as well. |

I am currently in the process of getting a sport pool installed. I already have the shell shot. I now think that I made the shallow end too deep. It . It is now 4ft on each end and 5 feet in the middle. My pool is 120X40. I think it should be 3.6 on sides and 4 1/2 in middle. Any thoughts on 3.6 vs. 4 for shallow end?
Here is the kicker, my pool builder quoted me $10.000. to change the depth> This is outrageous, there is no way it would cost this must!!! Can you please help me with the realistic cost to change the depth 6 inches at this point? Problem is, he said if I didn't go with him, he would not honor the warranties for the rest of the pool? Thank you for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You mean 20x40, right? Because 120x40 is freaking huge and I would say it would cost more! Are they adding rebar? Or just more gunite? I don't know how much this all costs (I am new to a pool myself), but I am just curious. 6" doesn't seem like that much (although I know it is a lot of area to cover for the entire pool). One note, our pool is 4' - 8'. Our kids cannot touch the bottom yet (with their head above water), but they have no problem whatsoever. All the adults can, however. We have only had our pool for a year and although I thought 4' was too deep (my wife wanted it so she could do flip turns while swimming), it has been just fine and when we go to pools that are 3 1/2' it feels really shallow (and kids always end up jumping into the shallow end, even if you don't want them to). Either way, you should get what you want. I think 10k is complete BS, but they have where they want you. Did you ask about 3 3/4' just to see what the price would be? I don't think the depths are science, it is more like "art." They put the rebar in place and they shoot the gunite to about what the depth should be. I am pretty sure that there is not many places where our pool is actually of spec depth. Just my thoughts and opinions, no expert, so take everything with a grain of salt. |
Sorry, Pool is 20X40 NOT 120X40. |
Thats 400 cubic feet (a little under 15 yards) and a crew to shoot/shape it. $10K may be a minimum to get the crew with the gear. Seems a bit steep. Scott |
If I was doing it, putting in a layer of steel, raising the main drains, shooting the new floor, adjusting the step heights, $10,000 might be a touch high but not bad. Every market is different though. |
Thank you for your responses. The pool builder is saying that they aren't raising the main drains or adjusting the step heights, just adding 6 inches to each shallow end. In addition, they said they were not going to put in a layer of steel, they were going to use a special bonding material? |
- Posted by paradigmdawg (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 17:17
I have yet seen a kid complain about the depth of our pool which is 4-5-4. Kids don't care and they grow. |
So theres a 6" hole where the drain is? Nice trip hazard. Tell him at $10,000, darn well better bring that drain pot up. That is gross stupidity if you accept it and that he suggested it. Gunite on solid gunite doesn't require a bond coat, just a roughened surface. Scott |
So....they propose raising only the shallow ends by 6", leaving the deep middle where it is? How can they possibly raise the floor without changing the stairs? Will the rise on the last step be 6" less than it is now? I recently finished a pool where through a misunderstanding the customer was unhappy with the profile of the floor in the shallow end. Since we were going back to pour his mechanical room footings anyways I shot 4 yards on the floor at no charge. 10K is sounding a little high |

Is the pool already plastered? If they change the depth, they would also have to redo the plaster. It sounds like it is priced to discourage you from doing it, but that may not be a bad idea. I wouldn't stress over inches. |

Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil
Average Rating 4.1/5 |
Review by clearady
When people go coconuts over this particular product, they do so with very good reason. Jurlique's products rarely cease to impress me, and you are guaranteed quality upon investment in such. I could go over all the pros of this particular one, and the single con: price, but i won't.
Long story short: If you have oily skin in any way, you need to be holding this bottle.
Enough said.

Brett Favre files retirement papers
MINNEAPOLIS -- Don't believe Brett Favre is finally done?
Well, the NFL's all-time leader of almost every major passing mark has at least filled out the forms.
Favre has made another move toward leaving the game for good by filing retirement papers with the league, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed Monday.
Hill: Favre In A Class All His Own
Brett Favre finally seems retired -- for real this time. So how do we remember him? As a walking contradiction, ESPN.com's Jemele Hill writes. Story
• Blog network:
NFC North | NFL Nation
This is merely a procedural matter, to start the clock on a player's pension and Hall of Fame eligibility. It's worth noting, too, that Favre has done this before, only to change his mind. Retired players can request to be reinstated at any time.
But the news, first reported by Fox Sports on its website, was another sign that Favre's thrill-filled 20-year career has come to an end, as he repeatedly insisted throughout a painfully disappointing 2010 season for the Minnesota Vikings.
The 41-year-old threw for only 11 touchdowns in 13 games and was intercepted 19 times, finishing with a career-low 69.9 passer rating that ranked third-worst in the NFL among qualifying quarterbacks.
His body took quite a beating, getting knocked out of three different games while dealing with injuries to his elbow, foot, chin, neck, back, ribs and calf -- plus the sprained throwing shoulder that ended his all-time record streak of 297 straight regular-season games started. Then he suffered a concussion in what wound up being his last game, on Dec. 20 against the Chicago Bears.
"I know it's time, and that's OK. It is," Favre said after the season finale. "Again, I hold no regrets, and I can't think of too many players offhand that can walk away and say that. Individually and from a team standpoint, it was way more than I ever dreamed of."
Even if Favre were to change his mind, Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said earlier this month that he wants no part of a Favre return next season.
"I cannot think of any circumstance of where I would pick up the phone and say, 'Brett, do you want to come back next season?'" Frazier said at his introductory news conference. "I can't think of any circumstance where that would occur."
After years of waffling, Favre cried as he announced his retirement from the Green Bay Packers in March 2008. With the Vikings interested but the Packers unwilling to let him join their rival, he was traded to the New York Jets.
Following one season there, he declared he was done again in February 2009. The Vikings wooed him back to the field that summer, though, and they rode his renaissance performance -- 33 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions -- to the NFC Championship Game. After needing another summer of persuasion to return in 2010, however, Favre wasn't the same and the Vikings slumped badly to 6-10 while going through all kinds of drama.
An accomplished rambler, Favre was as skilled at controlling the message in his news conferences as any athlete, his slow Southern drawl masking a razor-sharp ability to turn the conversation. It was on display throughout the 2010 season, especially when he was confronted about allegations that he sent lewd pictures and messages to Jenn Sterger, a former Jets sideline hostess.
In the end, he was fined $50,000 by the NFL for failing to cooperate with the investigation.
So now Favre has headed home to Mississippi, presumably for good as his two-year contract with the Vikings is expiring. Favre's official website even sent out a marketing e-mail blast over the weekend, advertising a "Thanks for the Memories" poster for sale. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Favre 4 Hope Foundation, which helps disadvantaged and disabled children and breast cancer patients.

From hey presto to high panto! Emma Watson in talks to star in Cinderella film
EMMA Watson is set to star in Cinderella. Oh no she isn't, OH YES SHE IS!
The Harry Potter star is in talks to play the lead role in a live action movie of the iconic fairytale, according to Variety.
