I've returned to quilting this winter after raising children, a career, etc. and there's wonderful new products that weren't around 20 years ago.
What's your opinion on the powder chalk used to mark a stencil. One brand I've seen is 'Quilt Pounce'. I need guidance for machine quilting the borders. Peggy |

I've used it some. I have the kind that disappears when a hot iron hits it. Good stuff even if a bit messy. |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Mon, Mar 7, 11 at 17:41
Ive used both - blue and white. I think it's the blue that washes out, white irons out. I don't like either because they are so messy and the lines smear. For just a border on dark fabric, it might be fine. |
I have use the white that irons out. I find it not the very easy to use but works. I prefer the blue water sol pens. I might not be as informed as I need to be in using the powder. Jayne |
- Posted by peggy_hosta (My Page) on Tue, Mar 8, 11 at 9:32
I was thinking of using my blue water sol. pen and stencils but thought it might be too easy to miss a section whereas the chalk covers the whole stencil. Any other ideas for making the stencil design? Peggy |
On the table topper I'm working on now, I decided to try the chalk pencils. They come in different colors. So far, I find that it takes a LOT of sharpening. But by having multiple colors, I'm able to find some that show up well on each fabric in the topper. They have erasers that work ok when I "mis-mark". This project got interrupted, folded up and put away for about a week. I just checked. My marks are still there. Hoping they'll rinse out easily when I'm all done, but the jury's still out on that one. |
Kay, please let us know how it rinses out. I just bought the chalk pencils that are like an Eversharp pen, but it did come with a sharpener. Most of the chalk refills were broken, I hope they work in the pencil. |

"My education at Darden provided me with invaluable experience and perspective. Among many other things, I learned it's important to always think about the future. "As Darden's reach expands across the globe, we need to help our School prepare a new generation of leaders. By making a planned gift, I have invested in Darden's future and will help fuel our forward momentum for years to come. "Simply put, planned giving is a sustainable and easy way to give back to Darden."
Planned gifts from alumni, faculty and friends lay the foundation for a stable future for Darden. The wide variety of planned giving options gives you the ability to satisfy your financial requirements while helping Darden prepare a new generation of responsible and skilled leaders
What is a planned gift?
A planned gift lets you provide a future benefit to the School while meeting your current financial, personal and philanthropic goals. Planned gifts provide a future stream of support that enables Darden to plan with confidence for future programs and projects.
Why is a planned gift a good option for me?
A planned gift can provide you and your family significant tax benefits, greater financial flexibility and lifetime income. Darden can work with you and your advisers to help you structure a gift plan that meets your financial and philanthropic goals regardless of your life stage. Assets you designate to Darden are eliminated from your taxable estate at your death, and 100 percent of your designated support can be applied to the area(s) of your choice. I'm still young. Why should I consider making a planned gift?It is never too early to plan your estate. If you would like to provide a future benefit to Darden, you might consider including the School as a beneficiary of your will, living trust, retirement plan or life insurance policy. In this way, you will retain maximum lifetime flexibility and may adjust your beneficiary designation as your personal needs evolve.
How can I benefit immediately from my planned gift?If you are comfortable making a donation of assets now but would like to receive an income stream, one of several life income gift plans might be perfect for you. These include a charitable gift annuity and a charitable remainder trust. We encourage you to discuss individual plans in depth with our Darden planned giving professionals.
How will my planned gift be recognized?We will recognize your planned gift according to your wishes. (If you would like to remain anonymous, we will keep your plans confidential.) In addition to recognition within the Darden community, you will also be invited to join the Cornerstone Society, which is composed of alumni, parents and friends of the School who have made planned gifts to the University or its related schools and foundations.If you have already designated Darden in your estate planning or would like further information, please contact Carter Hoerr, Executive Director for Advancement, firstname.lastname@example.com or +1-434-924-6576. For more information on how to design your planned gift, visit the University of Virginia's Gift Planning website.

Seven Falls Trail is a 7.8 mile out and back trail located near Tucson, Arizona that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round.
Ashley Adams (106)

Such a beautiful trail the whole way in. And the falls at the end.. what an epic treat! Definitely do this hike if you're in the area.
Patrick André (114)

It's a great hike for any skill level. The only semi-steep part is the last 15-20 minutes before you descend to the falls. Also, after the last crossing there is a pseudo-trail ahead. Usually there are some lines of rocks blocking the trail a little bit. You will be making a sharp turn i.e. a switchback, instead. So, keep looking to your right to not miss this one.
You will also notice that the trail is well maintained, while the wrong continuation is not and becomes exceedingly steeper, tighter and slippery because of the fine erosion.
The falls are fun if they are really full, but even if they holf less water. I would suggest you take some time and enjoy the place. If you take swimming gear, it will be cold, but also a lot of fun!
Fact is: You need to make this hike at least once!
Breanna Sellers (194)

The first half of the trail was somewhat tame with lots of foot traffic in both directions - a good warm-up for the legs at best. Once we got closer to the switchback, the overall quality of the hike definitely increased as the crowed thinned out, the terrain got a little more challenging and the appeal of the scenery improved. Once we got to the "falls" (pools of water), though, it was all worth it. We took our boots off and gave our feet a dip in the cool water, which was a real treat. We actually hiked barefoot from the bottom up to the 3rd pool. Very nice spot to stop, rest and have a snack before hiking out. Round trip it took us about 2 1/2 hrs.
Blair Finkelstein (191)

A great hike! If you do not feel like ending at 7 falls, you can continue up the trail and into back country. Much fewer hikers.
Alex Koehler (170)

This was my first trail using AllTrails! I loved the hike itself, good terrain and great scenery! I hope you enjoy my pictures of the trip.
Jill P. (749)

Just hiked this trail last week and it was amazing. I measured this hike using the tracker icon starting from the visitor center to the falls and it came out to 4.6 miles. For the first 1/4 of the trail stay on the paved road because it's easier and has less people. The next 2/4 is an easy and beautiful hike along the creek bed. You have to cross the creek about 4 times until it starts going up the side of the mountain. There's some switchbacks and you have to climb along the mountain side for the rest 1/4 of the trail. When you reach the end of the trail the 7 waterfalls are amazing. The water is shallow and very cold but feels good after a long hike.
Karen Flores (71)

The scenery is beautiful as you walk through the canyon . You'll encounter a few water-stream crossings along the way, most are easy to cross. Near Seven Falls, the trail splits with a sign that reads Bear Canyon, continue on the left-hand trail which will lead you down near the base of Seven Falls. This is a great place to take pictures, or just sit and relax. It took about 2 hours to get there from the parking lot. I would also recommend going early to avoid crowds.
Andrew Walck (523)

Pretty much one of Tuscons best hikes. I do agree that at some parts, the trail lacks proper markers, but I don't believe that warrants a three star review! The trail itself, has great wildlife that thrive on the running (or standing) water of the ravine. At the end crack some beers and enjoy what water is at the falls before heading back. P.S. technically no alcohol allowed in this park and the rangers aren't too friendly about it, so just throw them in your pack until your isolated on the trail.

Tata Xenon clinches the Spanish market!
Tata xenon.JPG
Tata Motors is most known for its less expensive vehicles and this gives them an upper hand over their competitors in the global market. This very reason has brought the company huge profits and demand in the European market as well especially in Spain even though the economic crisis has hit the country and Europe as well.
Tata Motors has been continuing their pursuit for consumers and has clenched a large portion of the market by their aggressive marketing policies.
Tata Motors had introduced Tata Indica Vista only last week and this week they have launched Tata Xenon with upgraded features and improved technology. Even though this version of the Tata cars, that is, Tata Xenon was already available in the market in Spain, the new version has come up with better technology and highly engineered mechanisms that make this version a potent competitor among the other cars in the market.
The overall appearance and architecture of the car, Tata Xenon is just the same as the previous version but the difference lies in design of the signal lamps and performance. The advanced technology incorporated has enabled high efficiency of the car.
According to the market reviews the car looks just average and mild in its appearance; it comes at a lot cheaper price compared to the cars available in the European market by the other brands, having similar features and performances.
The Indian version of Tata Xenon is in no way different and has special features like air bags, excellent music system, USB compatibility, Bluetooth availability, flexible seats with adjustable options and so on. The Indian version also comes with steering having leather covers and euro-five engine that can store about 2.2 liters of petrol at once. The best positive point about this car is that it is a lot cheaper than the cars with similar features.

Crabgras an grow on a bowling ball in airless rooms, and there is no known way to kill it that does not involve nuclear weapons.

Contemplating how to nuke crabgrass? |
I've read that crabgrass is an annual, but it spreads so quickly I've never been able to determine the age of any single plant. Anyway, what I wanted to tell you is that if you use CGM (corn germ meal) on the lawn to get rid of dandelions and other aggravating annual weeds, a side-effect is that the crabgrass does seem to diminish. It took 3 years for my lawn to become totally free of dandelions, and it's been several years ago since I first celebrated having a green lawn without yellow dandelions or other weeds. Please note that CGM is a pre-emergent, meaning that it prevents seeds from sprouting, which is why it's commonly spread in the early spring. In my dandelion battle, I spread it at forsythia-showing-yellow-buds, 3 weeks later and another 3 weeks later. Is it expensive? Sort of. Compared to doing nothing, your wallet will definitely feel the price tag. Compared to using herbicides (as you know, they aren't very effective in spite of the advertising claims), CMG is only slightly more costly, and cheaper yet if you count honestly all the times you have to re-apply the ineffective herbicides. It's definitely cheaper than paying for the doctor's treatment of the knee I re-dislocated while getting up from a weed-pulling session. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 20:06
I think the "pre-emergent" products are great and I've been using them for years and they work, and in my mind they are worth their weight in time spent pulling weeds. There is a company called "Green" something or another that comes around in the neighborhood and is pushing their "no weed" service and charging a lot for the service. I buy a box of pre-emergent and toss it around the grass and some weedy areas in my garden. |
I used that CGM once and lo and behold: the quail and the ducks loved it, gobbled it all up. I finally gave up using water and resources, I have, in winter and spring, a green patch and in summer it is a brown patch. I am lucky I can do that, no rules except my own on this place. |

And just like that it's over
…and it feels so.damn.good.
This internship has been a wonderful experience and I couldn't be happier with the placement I chose. I definitely want to share some of my reflections with you, especially in response to my working woman mission. For now though, I'm going to enjoy this last day and spend my afternoon consuming pints of water, malt, yeast, and hops.
PS: check out my man legs in Thursday's snapshot. I actually ended up taking off the boots and belt because Matt and I agreed that this was just not appropriate for work.
Happy Friday!

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now warm enough for skirts with bare legs. I'm so excited to finally wear some summer-ish clothing!
But just when it warms up in Boston, I'm headed somewhere even colder….the beautiful and breezy island of Nantucket! Matt's good friend has a house there and we've been fortunate enough to be invited to visit quite a few times while living in Boston. Memorial day weekend is when the annual Figawi race of sailboats from Hyannis to Nantucket takes place, and the island is one big party. I'm all for a burgers and day-time drinking in the sunshine. But, what I'm really hoping for is some good ole relaxation. I'll keep you updated as usual:)
I wish you all a peaceful and pleasurable Memorial day weekend!
Read MoreA Night In
Happy, Happy Saturday! Yes it is. It's so fun just having a day to myself. I've already gotten so many things accomplished and we're meeting friends for dinner tonight!
Last night was low-key because, after two indulgent weekends, we decided a night in was in order. Around 5 o'clock I started getting that itch to go out, but as soon as we popped open a bottle of Rheinhessen, the urge went away. This was FAB-U-LOUS. My perfect white wine and less than $6 a bottle.
We made a good ole pizza with tomato sauce, feta, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes and caught up on Mad Men episodes. I was in bed by 11 and it was glorious.
And because I never got around to posting yesterday (sorry!) a weekly outfit shot for your entertainment:) K bye.
Read MoreScramble n Toast
Thanks for the interesting comments! I had fun reading them.
Today was a great average day – I was productive at work, my lunch was great, I got my sweat on at spinning, I bought fun songs on iTunes, and I have a new hair dryer! I kind of hate drying my hair in the morning, but after three days of cold, wet hair, I'm pretty excited for tomorrow morning.
And, I'm pretty excited for sun and the weekend. After two weekends of visitors and travel, I'm pumped to just sit around and enjoy Boston. So, I have a question for ya. It seems like ever since I shifted from the old fashion friday to the new version, people started losing interest (I'm making this assumption based on comments)….is this true? It won't hurt my feelings if it is:)
Matt's out to dinner tonight, so I scrambled around the kitchen looking for dinner and ended up with a scramble – of black beans, tomatoes, feta, and spinach.
With a side of hummus toast (I think the black beans made the eggs look weird). My this was unexpectedly filling.
I'm off to bed extra early to try and cure the zombie- California-time-change-hangover that's been haunting me every morning this week. Night.

The Nigger Of The 'Narcissus'A Tale Of The Forecastle.(1897) TO EDWARD GARNETT The Nigger of the Narcissus is a tale about the fall and rescue of mankind through redemption. The inner message lying under the lines and sometimes among the lines is that man must get rid of his powerful irrational unconscious forces before the "voyage has done". The way in which one could do it well is doing their own duty skilfully in silence without listening to emotional chattering of the crew (which symbolizes human nature as a whole). There's a strong contrast between the crew and a single man, courage and weakness, conscious and unconscious, the former can be represented by Singleton the latter by James Wait. Although nobody can state that Conrad wrote a religious and Christian tale, one can say without denial that the plot is woven as a similar one. Conrad reveals his pessimism in conveying that man is condemned to stand alone in his lifetime passage while solidarity is momentous and due to need to overcome dangers ( it is the case of the tempest)--Submitted by Pascal, Italy --
A real masterpiece of mankind's lonesome journey from the outer self to the inner troubled soul, in quest for self redemption; a self doomed to hollowness, solitude, and spleen despite the brave-facing of the somewhat misleading storms of life.--Submitted by Bedis Bedri. --

If you wish to reproduce any material, such as hymns or excerpts from pamphlets or books, published by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) or Skinner House Books, please use the following guidelines to expedite the permissions process. Allow us at least one week to respond to your request.
We can also send you, upon request, spreadsheets showing the copyright status of hymns and latest available contact information for copyright holders. We encourage you to use these spreadsheets to contact copyright holders directly.
Please send your request by mail, fax, or email to:
UUA Publications 25 Beacon St. Boston, MA 02108 (fax) (617) 742-7025 (email) publications @ uua.org
See a memo prepared by UUA counsel in response to questions from the UU Musicians' Network about how to legally use copyrighted music in worship services (PDF).
Please contact the UUA Publications Editorial Director (publications @ uua.org) for general questions about copyright or process. The Editorial Assistant (copyright @ uua.org) is the contact person for actual requests or questions about the copyright of particular hymns.
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about the process of obtaining permission to use music from Singing the Living Tradition and Singing the Journey in worship.
How can I tell if a hymn is copyrighted and by whom? Check the Acknowledgments section at the back of Singing the Living Tradition or the credit line at the bottom of the music page in Singing the Journey. (If there is no credit or permission acknowledgment for the hymn you want in the SLT acknowledgments, the song is public domain. It is admittedly harder to tell for STJ. If there is a name listed but no copyright notice and you can't say with certainty that the song was written before 1923, you should proceed on the assumption that it is copyrighted.) Or you can just email the Editorial Assistant with your permission request; we'll let you know if the song is copyrighted and where to direct your request if we can't grant it.
Important note: Any one song may have several copyrights associated with it—for music, words, arrangement, and harmony. You only need permission for the part you are using. For instance, if you are projecting lyrics on an overhead screen without any music, you only need to clear copyright for the words.
Whom do I ask for permission? You ask the UUA for UUA-copyrighted work and contact the copyright holder directly for anything copyrighted by someone else. There is no need to contact the UUA at all if no part of the song is copyrighted by the UUA and you don't need help identifying or locating the copyright holder.
How can I contact the copyright holder? Often you can find the contact information yourself by searching on the Web. Or you can ask the Editorial Assistant. If you need to know about several pieces of music, we will email you a spreadsheet for the entire hymnbook, which lists all of the copyright holders by hymn number and the contact information that we have available. We will be happy to provide these spreadsheets on request so that congregations can have them available as a reference.
How do I request permission for UUA-copyrighted music? Email the Editorial Assistant with the hymn title and number and indicate whether you intend to use the words, music, or both. Also indicate how many copies you intend to make and in what format (i.e. orders of service, copies in a binder, projection on a screen, etc.). Be sure to let us know whether it will be used in a worship service. The UUA is happy to issue blanket permission agreements on request for all worship uses of UUA-copyrighted music in which the music is not copied in a durable format (such as a congregational hymnbook used repeatedly). We encourage all congregations to ask for this blanket permission.
Can composers grant permission for the arrangements in the UUA hymnbooks? Composers can only grant permission for their own arrangements. If there is no separate credit for the arrangement in the hymnbook, that means it's the composer's own arrangement and you do not need a separate permission. If the arrangement is credited to someone, you will need the arranger's permission as well as the original composer's.

Supreme Court Rules on Arizona Immigration
The Supreme Court has struck down key provisions of Arizona's crackdown on immigrants. But the court said Monday that one part of the law requiring police to check the status of someone they suspect is not in the United States legally could go forward. Even there, though, the justices said the provision could be subject to additional legal challenges. Legislators in several states, including Indiana, have been waiting for guidance from the Supreme Court on the issue.

Pontiac Montana
mbollwerk Posts: 3I own a 2002 Pontiac Montana. Only 107,xxx miles on it. Recently the check engine light came on and the car started dying while approaching stop signs and just recently it died while slowing from 55 to 45 mph. It isn't doing it all the time though. Yesterday my wife had no problems and drove it about 60 miles. I had a diagnostic check done and it states that either, 1.O2 is bad, 2. Cylinder misfire, or 3. Injector bad. All of this is occuring to bank "1" according to the report. I am not sure an O2 sensor would make the car just die in mid driving. I was planning on starting with the O2 sensor only because of cost. Does anybody have any ideas or had this happen to them before?
bikeral44 Posts: 4you might want to check the map sensor. i had a simular problem my car would shutoff as i was slowing down going into a turn. i changed all the crank sensors but it still did it until i changed ths map sensor ( the big air sensor attached to the air filter intake).

tiny_bambi Posts: 14You sound like you know allot more then I do but just wanted to share that after my nephew cracked my filter housing on my 1998 Pontiac Tran-Sport I had to be careful about going through puddles... I would lose allot of my power while driving due to the filter getting wet. It to would sputter. Sounded like a jalopy strolling down the street. It sounded bad but disapated as the filter dried out. You never know, Could be something so simple. Lol!!
fryman Posts: 19I have a 1998 Pontiac that has been plagued with DTC code P0420 showing every 50-100 miles of rural driving. I have replaced the catalytic converter (after market) and the aft oxygen sensor. No other codes are showing up when read. I can clear the code and about 100 miles, it shows up again.
The code cleared for about 1500 miles after the cat was changed and started getting more frequent. The frequency has not changed with the replacement of the aft oxygen sensor.
Car runs fines and gets 19-22 MPH in highway/town driving.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks -
john1432 Posts: 3P0420 is a unique code that will set when the pre and post o2 sensors toggle at the same rate and speed. ( indicating cat has no reserve capacity ) The ecm will also perform invasive testing of the cat. Many of the 3.4 engines are known for repeat head gasket and or intake manifold issues, extended operation with coolant contamination will damage cat. Have you noticed any coolant or Oil loss? The design of this engine and its intake gasket can cause engine oil consumption ( not as popular as coolant on this vehicle ) the only other suggestion would be oem converter I've obtained them from salvage yards opposed to generic.

mbollwerk Posts: 3I did not change my MAP Sensor. My problem ending up being the non-mechanics they hire at Wal-mart. My wife had taken the car to get an oil change. Somehow the personel had unhooked the whole air intake from the filter to the throttle body. They did not replace it correctly leaving a huge gap between the housing the Mass air flow sensor. Once I realized that, I hooked up the air filter and intake tube correctly, my problem went away.
rock_lab Posts: 1Hi everyone!
I have a 1999 Pontiac Montana (3.4 L, extended cab) with 200k miles, it was the first new car I ever bought, and I find it to be a good vehicle. I've driven this GM-Doraville product from Florida to Nova Scotia and Virginia to California. Yes, the transmission needed replacement at 140k, and the head gasket blew at 170k. However, the latter was on a family trip through the Mojave desert when I was really pushing it (even then, this van got me to San Diego - did not strand me in Las Vegas - and I will forever be grateful). I like Pontiacs and I hope to drive this one another year or two.
About 6 months ago, the car began intermittently to have trouble running from a cold start: it would start fine, but would sputter and misfire when I would give it gas and try to run above idle. (The exhaust smells very rich while this sputtering occurs.) After about 5-10 minutes of idling, when the engine warms up, it runs ok. The weird thing is, when it is really cold (~25 F in LA, that's lower Alabama, brrrrrr) the car starts and runs ok, without the warm-up... so, this problem is related to temperature or moisture (cold here means dry, too). I never get a check engine code when starting, but if I get on the highway and step on it, it runs a bit rough and I've seen two codes: 'misfire on #4 cylinder' and 'Catalytic converter under efficiency.' A dealership mechanic kept it a week, with this behavior, and he could not figure it out. (He did say he tried a new coil pack, with no change.) I replaced the thermostat and the fuel filter yesterday, but no change. Also, the spark plugs and wires were new at 170K.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions to help me fix this. -
jackkorno Posts: 4Hi their, I have a 1999 Montana I have tried to read the OBD2 however I can not seem to get a connection, so no codes.
What would cause me all kinds of Misfires ? At times it runs okay, then the check engine light will flash and she will misfire.
Can anyone give me a list of things to do to it. ? or check.
just got a new fuel pump that cost me $700 what a money pit. :mad: -
kkollwitz Posts: 268How'd you isolate the problem to the #1 wire/ plug? I'm getting out of my limited experience now, but when I had a bad wire on a Mustang years ago, the problem wasn't intermittent, but continual until I replaced the wire. I've had a 99 Venture & now a 2002 Montana, but neither one had/ has your problem.
But one thing's for sure, it's easy & cheap to replace a plug wire.
Before that I had a Honda which used to foul one sparkplug. Anytime the engine'd start to miss, I'd pull & clean the plug & all would be well again. -
jackkorno Posts: 4Yup I replaced the plug and the wire on #1, that did the trick, as for the OBD2 it was a short in a crimped wire, so I repaired that. Then got a reading that said Misfire #1.
Why only plug one ? I don't know, maybe she is getting ready to blow coolant ?
Now I need to figure out why I have no driver information Display. Wonder if it has to do with the aftermarket stereo. ?

tiny_bambi Posts: 14You can try cleaning the metal contact part where the door closes but I found that not to be the fix all and continued having issues with the slider in my van not functioning as it should. (I just shut it off and kept it that way) I have a 1998 Pontiac Transport. You might want to call the appropriate dealership in your area, There was a recall on this issue so my guess is that you should be able to get the repair at no cost to you. I did go in for the recall and was told that they did not have the part at the time but would order it and call me but I never heard from them. Like your name by the way, Lol :-)

fryman Posts: 19I have a 1998 transport that has recently developed a noise from the drive train (transmission, axle or wheel) that sounds like a prop plane. It increases in frequency and volume as speed increases. It is not engine, can shift into nuetral and the noise will continue, winding down as the car slows.
When I lifted the front end and took off the wheels to see if I could pin point, the traction control turns on and applies brakes (without track on the wheels) so any idea of what the problem is would be helpful.
I need this car to last another two-three months so if this is something I can drive on, so much the better.
Thanks -
nthompson1 Posts: 13I recently bought the above van, and immediately discovered a overheating problem which occurs in driveway while idling, and also driving a mile starting cold. Before I bought it, I sat in the passenger seat while the previous owner drove it a short distance, so I couldn't see the gauges. Of course, the owner claims it never happened before.
First, gauge on the dash goes all the way over to hot, then the lighted water signal says hot, then the check engine light goes on. Then the engine dies but restarts easy.
When I first looked at the engine coolant reservoir at the owner's house, it was almost full. Now it is full to the top, and the radiator is short 1/2 gallon.
The previous put 1/2 gallon water in the radiator at my house.
When we started the engine again, the radiator fluid is sucked out somewhere, again 1/2 gallon short.
My thought is to take another car to the store and buy the DEX-COOL recommended in the manual, drive the trans sport to a parts store to get tested.
My "new" trans sport has 186,000 miles. It has 13 car faxes(cost $40 to get).
Is it possible there is a simple solution?
I am VERY wary as I just had a master brake cylinder installed on a 1991 Dodge Ram Pickup. It doesnt brake any better, and now am told it needs at least new brake lines.
I am a deserving person who needs your help. Thank you.

Wars leech the life out of a country in so many ways. They consume lives and resources at an incredible rate, but what is worst is the way they eat away at hope. The Empire, which has survived the years of war, now finds itself with a new conflict to resolve: with the exception of the noble families that managed to hold their wealth during the struggle, its populace is made up of starving citizens and war-damaged soldiers. Section III of the army of the Empire was created to deal with this ongoing problem; however, their progress was been slow on all fronts. The citizens fear and distrust them due to their experiences with other soldiers, the nobles have no use for them, and the other branches of the military mock them for the ineffectual nature. LT. Alice L. Malvin of Section III Pumpkin Scissors won't be defeated, though, even if her newest recruit does have something unusual about him.

The Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) held a rally last week to celebrate the recent United States Supreme Court decision in McDonald v Chicago that struck down a long-standing city gun ban. However, as those advocates cheered, city officials issued an ordinance designed to impose restrictions on gun ownership.
The celebratory event, which took place July 9 at the Thompson Center, featured ISRA executive director Richard Pearson, one of the plaintiffs, Otis McDonald, as well as local radio personalities and several local grassroots activists.
However, it happened in the shadow of an ordinance that aims, among other things, to restrict residents from carrying weapons outside their homes, mandate participation in training programs and prohibit the sale of firearms inside city limits, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"When the wrong people have access to guns, whether they're gang bangers and drug dealers or abusive parents or sons or daughters, needless violence is more likely to happen, whether it's on our streets or in our homes," said Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.
In response to the ordinance, gun supporters already filed two lawsuits that experts say could lead to a new round of legal challenges to cities' rights to regulate gun ownership, the news provider further reported.

Juan Gonzalez Wins 2010 George Polk Award For Exposing $80 Million Bloomberg Administration Scandal
Democracy Now's own Juan Gonzalez has won the 2010 George Polk Award for commentary for his columns in the New York Daily News exposing the scandal behind Mayor Mike Bloomberg's attempt to create a new computerized payroll system called CityTime. Juan's reporting helped lead to the federal indictment of four consultants and two associates on charges that they orchestrated a fraud that cost city taxpayers more than $80 million. One of seven people so far arrested in the fraud pleaded guilty two weeks ago and is cooperating. The director of New York City's Office of Payroll has been forced to resign. So far federal agents have recovered more than $27 million in cash from dozens of bank accounts of dummy companies connected to the scheme. Juan also won a Polk Award in 1998.

After boarding your flight, stowing away your carry-on luggage and nodding to your fellow passenger in the next seat, he introduces himself and you notice that he's surprisingly eager to meet you.
Your new friend knew where you'd be sitting, your industry and what you look like. Don't panic, he isn't a spy. He is, however eager and a shrewd networker and would love to work with you or maybe even to employ you.
KLM's 'Meet & Seat' and Malaysia Airlines' MHbuddy' social seating programmes now give passengers the option to see who will be sitting on the same flight or if they're on their way to the same business meeting in your destination city.
Aside from business relationships, you can potentially be partnered up with people with similar interests via Facebook and the professional networking site LinkedIn. Although this is a great gimmicky idea, many would view that this is an invasion of privacy and is fraught with potential problems.
Don't panic though, KLM's Meet & Seat programme is only on flights between Amsterdam and New York, San Francisco and Sao Paulo and is entirely voluntary. Malaysia Airlines' MHbuddy is a Facebook application. Once checked in on Facebook, the passengers can view photos and seat selections of their Facebook friends on the flight and choose their seat accordingly.
What do you think of this idea? Would you be happy for the other passengers to plan a conversation with you? What else will the airlines do with the new personal information they now have on you? Let us know below, or tag us @puregenie on Twitter.
It seems that you're in the majority, Nancy. Personally, I couldn't think of anything worse than having an interview in a place that you couldn't leave!

November. October. September. August. New drug treatment possibilities for Alzheimer's. UC Santa Barbara scientists have made a discovery that has the potential for use in the early diagnosis and eventual treatment of plaque-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Type 2 diabetes.
The amyloid diseases are characterized by plaque that aggregates into toxic agents that interact with cellular machinery, explained Michael T. Bowers, lead author and professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. New ways to detect and treat Alzheimer's disease. SAN DIEGO — New studies identify brain changes in people with Alzheimer's disease.
The results give researchers a greater understanding of the disease and may help at-risk individuals by improving early detection. New animal research also shows a novel approach to Alzheimer's vaccine design that may avoid dangerous side effects. These new results were reported at Neuroscience 2010, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health. About 5.3 million people have Alzheimer's disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Drop of blood diagnoses Alzheimer's. Half of Alzheimer's disease cases may be preventable. By Tom Moberly, 19 July 2011 Dr Deborah Barnes and Dr Kristine Yaffe from the University of California, San Francisco, looked at the evidence for potentially modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.
The researchers concluded that up to half of Alzheimer's disease cases could result from seven risk factors. These seven were: smoking, lack of physical activity, lack of mental activity, uncontrolled blood pressure and diabetes, and obesity and depression. Dr Barnes and Dr Yaffe found that low education and smoking were the two factors which could potentially be attributed to the greatest number of cases.
Avoiding Alzheimer's: Study Finds 7 Preventable Risk Factors. Up to half of Alzheimer's disease cases worldwide are potentially attributable to seven preventable risk factors, a new study suggests.
The findings show that Alzheimer's cases could be reduced if people quit smoking, increased their physical activity, enhanced their mental activity, controlled their blood pressure and diabetes, and managed their obesity and depression. Globally, an estimated 33.9 million people have Alzheimer's, but that number could be reduced by 3 million if there was a 25 percent reduction in all seven of these risk factors, the researchers found . A 10 percent reduction in these seven factors could prevent 1.1 million cases, they said. The number of worldwide cases is expected to triple over the next 40 years. Lessons about Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin B supplements could delay onset of Alzheimer's, says study. Taking daily supplements of B vitamins may delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, scientists have claimed.
The discovery that people in the early stages of failing memory can retain more of their mental faculties for longer if they take the tablets regularly could lead to treatments for the condition. Some participants in the Oxford University trial saw their neurological decline reduced by as much as half after using B vitamins. That breakthrough has raised hopes that the vitamins, which are sold in chemists and health food stores, could at least slow down, if not prevent, the shrinkage that affects many older people's brains. Treatment with vitamin C dissolves toxic protein aggregates in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a new function for vitamin C.
Treatment with vitamin C can dissolve the toxic protein aggregates that build up in the brain in Alzheimer's disease. The research findings are now being presented in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The brains of people with Alzheimer's disease contain lumps of so-called amyloid plaques which consist of misfolded protein aggregates. They cause nerve cell death in the brain and the first nerves to be attacked are the ones in the brain's memory centre. "When we treated brain tissue from mice suffering from Alzheimer's disease with vitamin C, we could see that the toxic protein aggregates were dissolved.

I was thinking about having a limit on a players inventory...
I also thought up a few different methods of doing this.
They are:
1) The player may only carry 30 items forever and no more than 30 items.
2) Items have weight and a player can only carry so much depending on his/her strength/speed.
3) A player may carry 30 items and 1 more for every level he/she gains.
4) No limit whatsoever.
which do you think is the best method?
(I would like to set some sort of limit so number 4 is pretty much out of the question unless everyone says thats the way they like it)

In an effort to jump- start economic development in Chesterfield, James J. L. Stegmaier, county administrator, proposed a reduction in planning department fees. A code amendment passed by the planning commission on Feb. 15, if approved by the Board of Supervisors, will bring Chesterfield's planning fees more in line with other localities in the Richmond area.
The Board of Supervisors had previously enacted a fee holiday for commercial, industrial or office planning applications in an effort to stimulate commercial building activity. That initiative expires in September.
The new fee schedule would cut fees across the board, with the deepest cuts for amending conditions of zoning (rezoning) or other conditional use applications. A rezoning for residential use would drop from $5,300 to $1,500 and a commercial use rezoning would be reduced from $4,100 to $1,500. Most fees could see a reduction of at least 25 percent, although some of the lower and more minor issue fees would remain unchanged if the Board of Supervisors approve the fee reduction in the same form as approved by the planning commission.
The Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce, Chesterfield Business Council and the Home Builders Association of Richmond spoke in favor of the fee reduction and congratulated the county administration on considering the fee changes.
"It is our understanding that the cost of such changes would have to be absorbed by the general fund," said Debra Girvin, government affairs committee chair for the Chesterfield Business Council. "However, changing the application fee structure will enable the county to further advertise the message 'Chesterfield County is open for business.'"
But not all the speakers agreed that the entire fee reduction package is appropriate at this time. Paul Grasewicz, representing the Surrywood Homeowners Association, asked the commission to consider reducing the fees on commercial development fees only. He said residential development is not economic development.
"Residential development doesn't pay for itself," Grasewicz said. "Proffers on residential zoning explains that and rapid development doesn't help." Grasewicz further explained that review for residential subdivisions is more complicated than that of a commercial development.

Frequently Asked Questions (Page 3)
ROC PRIMED Questions and Answers
What is an ITD?
An impedance threshold device is a small, hard plastic device about the size of a fist that is attached to the face mask or breathing tube during CPR by EMS providers. The ITD has been shown to increase blood flow and thus potentially improve CPR, which provides only about a quarter of normal blood flow when performed using standard methods. While the impedance device goes over the patient's mouth, it is not a breathing aid. Instead, the device increases the normal pressures created when the chest decompresses to improve blood flow to vital organs. In animal and smaller human research studies, the device has been shown to markedly increase blood flow during CPR and raise blood pressure. Human studies showed a tendency toward improved short-term outcomes without adverse effects. However, a large human study, such as ROC PRIMED, was needed to show whether the device significantly improves survival without neurological damage. A modified version of the ITD is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in low blood flow conditions other than cardiac arrest.
What have other studies of ITD shown?
Smaller published studies in humans suggested that the ITD improves blood circulation and short-term outcomes, such as increased blood pressure. However the total number of patients enrolled was small. Although there was some evidence in these earlier studies favoring use of an ITD, the lack of demonstrated benefit in survival convinced the NHLBI and the ROC investigators that a larger randomized trial was needed to test whether an active ITD is better than a non-functional ITD.
What have other studies of Analyze Late versus Analyze Early shown?
Smaller published studies in humans suggested that CPR before defibrillation may increase survival but the results to date were inconclusive. Although there was some evidence in these earlier studies favoring immediate defibrillation (30 to 90 seconds) in cases where the response time is less than two minutes, such response times are rare and the frequent delay in recognition of the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and calling 911, as well as the complexity of the resuscitation protocol, convinced the ROC investigators that a randomized trial was necessary to test whether Analyze Later is better than Analyze Early.
How did patients indicate they would participate in this study?
In most cases, the participant or their representative could not provide informed consent prior to treatment, as is done in most clinical trials. Because of the nature of the research, participants will either be in a semi-conscious or unconscious state when they are enrolled in ROC studies. Life-supporting interventions must be given immediately in the field to save their life. Patients are too sick to consent to immediate treatment. Surviving patients and/or their authorized representatives are informed about the trial as soon as feasible after the intervention has been given. Instead, the ROC research studies were conducted under federal regulations that allow an exception from explicit informed consent.
Before any patients were enrolled, communities were consulted about participation and made aware that informed consent will not be obtained for most study participants, as required by law. ROC PRIMED also includes follow-up telephone calls with survivors who are required to provide consent for this part of the study.
What is an exception from informed consent?
In 1996, the FDA developed specific regulations to permit research without prospective consent under carefully controlled circumstances. This is in recognition of the unique nature of emergency medical situations in which patients or family members cannot give informed consent before treatment as well as the need to allow emergency care to advance through research. According to FDA regulations, to qualify for an exception from informed consent, the research study must involve participants suffering from a life-threatening disease process or injury for which the current standard of care is associated with a very high failure or mortality rate. In addition, there must be reasonable evidence that the research has the potential to provide real and direct benefit to the patient. Furthermore, studies must be held to the highest ethical standards. The ROC trials have undergone multiple independent rigorous reviews to ensure that they meet these standards.
The use of a randomized clinical trial is the "gold standard" for determining what works best for people. For treatments that must be given immediately to be effective, exception from informed consent research is considered appropriate by federal regulatory bodies and many ethicists who study this field. The obligation to improve standard treatments that yield poor results in life-threatening conditions is also considered an ethical imperative, as is maintaining individual rights of citizens. In waiver of consent trials, citizens receive standard treatment in addition to research treatment. To be tested in this fashion, the research treatment has to have shown promise in earlier or smaller studies.
Would you let a family member be enrolled in a future study like this?
Yes, absolutely. Randomized trials are the best way for us to learn how to treat patients with acute life-threatening conditions like cardiac arrest. It is critical that we understand how to effectively treat patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as it remains a significant and serious public health issue.
Should public bystanders be performing full CPR, with breathing and chest compressions, or using the "Hands Only" method that was introduced last year?
The ROC PRIMED study did not explore this issue, however, the American Heart Association (AHA) in 2008 put out a science advisory to encourage the general public to skip the ventilation step in CPR and focus only on continuous chest compressions and having someone call 911. Chest compressions should be delivered until professional assistance arrives. The AHA last issued revised guidelines in 2005. In the 2005 version, it was recommended that trained emergency medical service providers use a combination of ventilation and chest compressions, with a greater emphasis placed on chest compressions. The next AHA guidelines are scheduled to come out in October 2010.

*yawn* I've blogged about our sleep situation in the past, so this post is a bit of an update. (A year later!) We've successfully night weaned and have had a kid who sleeps through the night since 18 months (hallelujah!). Actually, what happened was at his 18 month check-up, the doctor suggested that I up his reflux medication because I mentioned that it seemed like it was getting worse. That night, and every night since (knock on wood), Calvin has slept through the night. He's now 22 months. How do I have an almost 2 year old? Ahh.
So, yeah I feel like I shouldn't complain at all since I'm getting more sleep than I was for 18 months, but now we have a new situation. Calvin has decided that no matter what time he goes to bed at night, 5 or 5:30 in the morning is the perfect time to wake up. Now, I'm a morning person and always have been, but that's just too dang early for me. 6 or 6:30, I can handle. Not 5. We've tried everything I can think of to get him to sleep longer…later bed times, leaving him in his crib to whine a bit in the morning, putting books in his crib to read in the morning, etc etc. Nothing seems to help. And it's not like the sun is rising that early, so HOW does he know what time it is? His usually bed time is 7/7:30, so we've tried keeping him up until 8 or even 9. Nope, doesn't work. HELP!

3 Responses to Vlog: 5am toddler early wake-ups
We went through this too and at the time transitioned to a twin bed. Worked great with both of the boys.
Yep, both my kids would still be doing this at 3 & 3 years old if we hadn't introduced the magic Onaroo clocks at 18 months. I did a post on Dallas Moms Blog about it here, hope it helps! http://citymomsblog.com/dallas/4-solutions-for-toddlers-who-wake-up-too-early/

Final Open House Fast Approaching
Wednesday, November 14th, 2012
The Office of Admission at West Virginia Wesleyan College will host its final open house of the year on Saturday, December 1, on campus.
Choosing a college is about finding the right fit. Academics, location, and atmosphere are all important components of finding the perfect school – and Wesleyan offers the best.
The benefits of attending a collegiate open house are tremendous. Wesleyan's Fall Visit Day will give prospective students and their families a chance to not only tour the beautiful 102-acre Georgian campus, but also make connections with professors from their intended major, learn about the Admission and Financial Aid processes, chat with admission counselors, and hear from current Wesleyan students about what it is really like to live, eat, and study on campus.
Wesleyan strives to give students and their families the entire experience, and this will become a vital piece while exploring college options. Choosing a college is a difficult decision, and attending an open house is the best way to capture a glimpse of what it is like to be a student on campus.
The Office of Admission is still accepting students for the December 1 visit by calling (800) 722-9933 or visiting www.wvwc.edu/admission. If you are unable to attend this day but would still like to visit Wesleyan, please contact us to schedule a weekday visit.
West Virginia Wesleyan is a small, private liberal arts school of approximately 1,400 students. Offering 43 majors, 36 minors, and 5 graduate programs, Wesleyan is listed in the first tier in the South in the 2013 U.S. News Best Colleges, is ranked 12th among baccalaureate college in The Washington Monthly, and is the only West Virginia school listed in the U.S. News Great Schools at Great Prices publication.

Looking at the team statistics for the four remaining conference finalists, I was a little surprised to see hom much they've had in common in getting to where they're at.
All four teams have a strong penalty kill; ranging from an 82.7% success rate (Montreal) to an 86.4% success rate (Chicago). None of the four teams have varied much from their regular season penalty-killing totals, which were all in the top half of the league. It's a similar story on the power play: three of four teams have a success rate higher than 20.0%, and even Montreal (at 18.5%) is above the league average.
All four teams have had success when scoring first, all have been good when leading after one (Chicago's been perfect in that regard) and all have been good when leading after two periods as well.
There are some differences, however.
Two teams – Philadelphia and Chicago – have been dominant at even-strength, but both Montreal and San Jose have progressed to this point despite being outscored five on five. Philadelphia and Chicago are also the only two teams remaining averaging more than 3.00 goals per game.
Two teams – San Jose and Chicago – are outshooting their opposition, but Philadelphia and Montreal have been able to progress despite getting outshot. In Philadelphia's case, they've been out-shot by an average of 1.6 shots per game, and in Montreal's case by 7.5 shots per game.
Three of the four teams left in these playoffs have been able to mount comebacks – Philadelphia, Chicago and San Jose all boast 0.500 records when training after one period. Montreal is the lone exception, sporting an ugly 0.143 winning percentage when trailing at the end of the first period.
Again, we find three of the four teams have something in common: a better record when outshooting their opposition than when getting out-shot. Only Montreal is an exception to this rule – they have a splendid 0.727 winning percentage when outshot, but when outshooting win less than 17% of their games in these playoffs.
Interestingly, only Chicago has been above 50.0% in the faceoff circle; the other three playoff teams have lost more faceoffs than they've won in the post-season.

In SharePoint (on-premises or 365), you can get the embed code from a word or PowerPoint file and insert that in another page with the </> Embed Code ribbon command.
Unfortunately Excel Web App doesn't provide the option to generate this embed code. Fortunately you can create this very easily yourself.
Just get the URL for the Excel file and add ?web=1 to the end of it. This will give you the code that you place in a "</> Embed Code" by creating an iFrame from the Insert Ribbon of a publishing page, wiki page, blog article, discussion item, etc.
The embed code will look like this…
<iframe src="http://yoursite/Priorities.xlsx?web=1" width="100%" height="400px"></iframe>
It is possible that Excel Web app is not available if Excel Services is the default for viewing Excel files (A farm wide setting), in which case there is a Web Part called Excel Web Access which can be added to a page (Enterprise Site Features must be enabled).
To save time, SharePoint pre-defines different combinations of permissions. These pre-defined permission levels are known as the "default permission levels".
SharePoint 2010 provided a default SharePoint Group called "Members" which was assigned the "Contribute" permission level. This is the group would would assign most users to who would be creating and editing documents in predefined libraries.
This level includes all permissions in Read , plus:
In 2013 the "Members Group" permission level has change to "Edit".
This level includes all permissions in Read, plus:
So now the users who we intended to just manage files in predefined libraries can also delete and create new libraries! In a well-controlled SharePoint environment where libraries have been created with default metadata based on a taxonomy, the ability to create new "rogue" libraries is undesirable.
I'm always reminding people to extend content databases before migrating content or moving site collections so as to avoid auto grow and fragmentation. It is arguable more important to consider the size requirements of you transaction log files when moving or importing site collections.
I thought I would share some real numbers just for reference.
For a 4.53 GB site collection, 6.05 Gb of transaction log space was used.
At the end of the move-spsite process you will need to perform an IIS reset on all servers in the farm.
When a content database gets close to 200Gb I start thinking about moving some of the site collection in that databases to a new one. You might be tempted to move the largest site collection into a new (dedicated) site collection but it is usually better to move the smaller site collection for the following reasons:
Microsoft provides a public service to render your office documents that are stored in a publicly accessible web location. This means you don't have to upload documents to SkyDrive, http://docs.com or install your own Office Web App server in order to have them displayed as HTML files.
