Comments about iRobot Compact Virtual Wall®:
I use Buster on days I can't clean. Buster helps me out when I am busy. the only problem is that I have to clean the bin each time so I know it will not get clogged or loss of cleaning power.
The V wall has always worked good for us. No problems. Just have to make sure I pick it up after each use or it will become a chew toy for our Rotty pup.

Comments about iRobot Compact Virtual Wall®:
We mistakenly ordered this "compact virtual wall" instead of the "auto virtual wall". I'm really not sure why anyone would order this one vs. the auto, except I guess if they have a 600 series (we have a 700 series). The Auto is only for select 500 and 700 series models. So everyone should be careful to get what they want - Roomba really needs to improve their description on this one to include the fact that it turns completely off. The picture shows the power button on the top and that is really is the only appearance difference between the compact and auto versions.
Per the roomba site: "A Compact Virtual Wall (and its power light) will shut off after 135 minutes." (from http://homesupport.irobot.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/486/~/what-are-roomba%E2%AE-virtual-walls%E2%AE%3F )

"I get rave reviews from gf people as well as non gfer's. I do have a little trick for making this perfect though. Once I get the dough on the well greased and well floured foil, I put the foil directly onto a preheated grill over medium heat. I cook for 5 minutes and then flip the dough over so it is directly on the grill and I peel off the foil and discard it. I cook the dough another 2 minutes and remove. Then I put on my topping and return to the grill. If the dough starts to get overdone, I remove the pizza from the grill and pop it under the broiler in my oven for a couple of minutes to get the cheese nice and bubbly. This cooking method makes a big difference. I have also doubled or tripled the recipe to make several crusts at once and then I freeze the crust to make an impromtu pizza later."
"This was great! I patted it super-thin into a sheet pan and it made an awesome thin-crust pizza. I loved the italian seasoning in it, too. Instead of gelatin, I used an egg and reduced the liquid by 1/4 cup to compensate. Thanks for a great recipe!"
"This is AMAZING. I have been gluten free the past year and was stuck paying 20 dollars at Fresh Brothers for essentially a personal sized pizza gf pizza (A complete and utter RIP OFF) for the same quality crust that this one cost me pennies to make.
I followed directions to a tee except for the modification of flipping the crust 1/2 way through the initial baking, and having to cook my pizza about 20 minutes total.
Will make this recipe again and again, even for non GF people as it is simply a great crust. Thank you!!!"
"Yep, it's that good. I used 1/3 cup soy and 1/3 cup rice flour in place of the garfava. I followed another reviewers suggestion and put it on foil and did first bake on the grill. Be sure to REALLY put a lot of olive oil on the foil first. I made a bunch of them and froze for a quick pizza, just add toppings and finish baking. We couldn't tell it was gluten free."
"made it for my dad while my folks were visiting (he has gluten allergies). we all had a taste of his pizza & for the first time ever, i think it was comparable, if not better than the non-gf meal the rest of us had. i've always felt badly that he has had to give up yummier food, but not with this crust! my mom has asked for the recipe and is now making it for the both of them at their home as well! goes great with Ultimate Pizza Sauce by SAMS_Club."
"This crust was awesome. My husband, who is a baker and doesn't have to eat gluten free, even loved it. Came out terrific. Having never even made a pizza dough at all I was surprised at how easy this one was to make. I substituted a geletin sheet for the teaspoon of geletin powder because that was all I had. Since I also didn't have cider vineger I substitued white wine vineger and a touch of apple juice for that. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and I loved the result."
"the best pizza ever! i believe it to be better than take out! Tonight I am trying it in a calzone (sp?) wish me good luck. after it is done baking i will be glazing it with garlic butter and cheese"
"This recipe is amazing. My mom has a gluten alergy so I always have to make separate meals for her with no gluten because the gluten free stuff is always a little bit strange texture and taste and none of the rest of the family wants to eat it. This recipe was as good as if not better than the pizza dough with regular flour in it. Next time, I'm making this one for the whole family! For the flour in mine I used kinnikinnick's Kinni-Kwik bread and bun mix. AMAZING!! Thank you for the recipe!"
"We usually buy Udi's brand pizza crust at the store, but now with this easy and tasty recipe, I'm going to save myself money and make it myself. I didn't have any powdered milk, but I did add flax meal in it's place. During the blending process, I added about a 1/4 cup of extra water. The pizza crust came out superbly! All my kids (even the two who eat gluten) gobbled it all up!"
"Wow, my friend's husband uses this recipe to make pizza because he has Celiac and it is DELICIOUS. You probably wouldn't be able to tell that it's gluten-free. They use bob's red mill flours (garfava) and honey as the sweetener as well as evaporated milk. I can't wait to try to make this dough myself. I've had the pizza fresh and microwaved the next day and it's fantastic. Definitely recommended."
"This recipe is amazing...first time making gluten free pizza that I enjoyed, my kids and husband didn't even notice ;)"
"Good crust."
"Excellent GF Pizza Crust! My GF friend claims this was the best pizza she's had since becoming GF 4 years ago. So glad I could do that for her, thanks to YOUR recipe. The rest of us really enjoyed it as well, and wouldn't have really known a difference from the regular pizza crust. I forgot to buy the tapioca flour, so used cornstarch (1/2 as much). Also, after taking the crust out of the oven the first time, I brushed a little olive oil and honey over the crust before the sauce. Yum. Thanks so much for a recipe I'll use many times. :-)"
"This crust is awesome! I had been craving pizza so badly and thought making my own GF dough would be a pian - this one is easy and tastes GREAT! I also used Brown Rice Flour and baked the 1st time for 13 min."
"Thank you! Excellent crust the 2nd time around! I made this recipe a few months back and had no success. After reading the rave reviews, I assumed it was my yeast. I tried it again today and WOW! I did try a few things differently this time around. I used white rice flour instead of brown and proofed the yeast for 5 minutes with agave in the lukewarm water. I also added 2 tbsp more of lukewarm water while the mixture was being beaten on high. When It came time to pat it into the pan, I added rice flour to the surface of the dough and then used a piece of plastic wrap to pat it out. My celiac husband and child LOVED it and so did I! Much better than any gluten containing crust I've tried!"
"This is a great recipie. For those of you who thought it was a little soggy, try rolling it out really thin, cooking it for 10 minutes on one side and then flipping it and cooking it for another 10 minutes. Then I add my toppings. Kids loved it."
"Maybe I just haven'tbeen GF long enough to appreciate this, but I didn't think it was very good. The consistency is just too gummy...too egg-y & rice-y for my liking. Of course, that could be because I like a lot of sauce??? The only variance I made was the 2T. tapioca instead of the powdered milk, and I only used 1/2 tsp. italian sessoning. Having said all of that, my kids and hubby (who will eat any thing that looks like a pizza) thought it was just fine. So, it might just be me! I think I will keep looking."
"I was looking forward to trying this recipe, and I was quite pleased."
"I think this crust is one of the best. I bake mine on a cookie sheet. I bake mine first and then add the sauce and toppings. I also sautee my veggies first. I add a little more sweetener and salt too my dough because I like it that way. I use fresh chopped rosemary in the dough when I have some."
"This tastes incredible!"

Important Information >>
By Mark Duginske
I love bandsaws, even though they have a reputation as troublesome tools. I suppose that's why I like them, because I enjoy investigating woodworking machinery. I've tinkered with dozens of 14" bandsaws, trying to understand how they work and how they should be set up. Here's what I've concluded: most bandsaws benefit from a tune-up.
I'll show you six procedures to improve your saw's performance. I'll demonstrate these steps on a standard cast-iron 14" saw, but they apply to just about any type of bandsaw. Once you complete your inspection of your own saw and correct any problems (or learn to live with your saw's limitations), I'll show you how to adjust it for a typical blade.
The alignment procedures we'll perform are a one-shot deal. You shouldn't have to re-check your saw again. The tensioning, tracking, and guideadjustment procedures must be followed every time you change blades, however.
Before we begin, let's review the major parts of the saw and what they do.
If you look at the upper wheel on your 14" bandsaw, you'll notice that it has a crown: the center is higher than the edges. The crown exerts a pulling force, moving the blade to the top of the wheel. In a well-tuned saw, both wheels and their crowns are coplanar (in line with each other). This allows the blade to run as straight as possible. If the wheels aren't in alignment, they compete with each other for control of the blade. This isn't a problem for narrow blades, but aligned wheels improve the performance of wide blades, such as those you'd use for resawing.
1) Unplug your saw. Remove the blade, then unbolt and lift off the table (Photo 1).
2) Install a 1/2" wide blade and tension it according to the saw's scale. Some authorities skip this step and align the wheels without a blade. That isn't correct, because the saw has to be under tension when the wheels are aligned, to simulate real running conditions. A wider blade requires more tension than a narrow blade, and it's best to align your wheels under the most tension they're likely to receive. On most 14" saws, the largest blade you'll use is one that's 1/2" wide. Back off the upper and lower guides and thrust bearings so they're at least 1/8" away from the blade.
3) Open both wheel covers and place a long straightedge across the wheels (Photo 2). If the wheels aren't parallel, turn the tracking knob behind the saw to tilt the upper wheel forward or backward. Once the wheels are parallel, you can determine whether or not they're coplanar (Figure 3).
4) If the wheels are not coplanar, determine how far one wheel must be brought forward. Measure the gap between the straightedge and the wheel. If the gap is less than 1/32", your wheels are sufficiently coplanar and you can skip ahead to step 6. If the gap is greater than 1/32", one wheel should be adjusted.
5) To re-align a wheel, remove it from its axle and add or subtract bushings (Photo 4). On most saws, you can only remove one wheel, not both, without using specialized tools. On Delta saws, the upper wheel comes off easily; on most other brands, the lower wheel comes off. The bolt that secures the wheel has a left-hand thread. Turn it clockwise to loosen it. If your wheel must be moved in, and there are some bushings behind it, simply remove one or two, corresponding to the gap you measured above. Replace the wheel and you're ready to move on. If your wheel must be moved out, measure the axle's diameter and purchase a few machine bushings at the hardware store. Standard washers work OK, but are about 1/16" thick. Machine bushings are thinner (about 1/32" thick). Once you've put the wheel back on, replace the saw's table and re-install the blade.
Before moving on to the next step, your blade must be adjusted to run in the center of the wheels. This is called tracking, and it's a procedure you follow each time you change blades. The correct method is to steadily increase tension while you track your blade, so you'll make both the tracking and tensioning adjustments at the same time.
6) Unplug the saw. To begin, the blade should be under very little or no tension. Rotate the upper wheel by hand and slowly increase tension (Photo 5). After a few revolutions, note where the blade sits on the upper wheel. Adjust the tracking knob to move the blade in or out (Figure 6) as you continue to rotate the wheel. Keep rotating the wheel and adjusting the tracking knob until the blade is under full tension and tracking in the middle of the wheel.
7) Check the blade's tracking under power. Close the wheel covers and plug in the saw. Turn the saw on for a second and then turn it off again. Open the top door and see if the blade still tracks in the wheel's center. If it does not, make a minor change in the tracking knob's position, and check again.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you're confused about blade tension. A lot of misleading information has been published about it, and I'd like to set the record straight.
Some folks claim that the tension gauge on your 14" saw is erroneous and that using its indicated settings doesn't deliver enough tension. They would have you replace an old spring with a new one, replace a standard spring with a more powerful one, or purchase an aftermarket tension gauge to substitute for the one on the saw. None of this is necessary.
First, old springs don't wear out, and don't need to be replaced. Second, most springs provide adequate tension. The exception would be a spring that is fully compressed at its highest tension setting. This spring should be replaced with a more powerful one. Third, the scale on your saw may not be perfect, but as a rough indicator, it's adequate for the purpose. According to my measurements using the best aftermarket tension gauge available, these scales are accurate enough.
For most work, you'll get good results with the tension gauge set at the mark corresponding to the blade's thickness. But if the blade isn't sharp, or the workpiece is especially thick, increase the tension one mark. In any case, no saw will perform well unless it's tuned up first.
It's easy to understand why your bandsaw table should be set at 90° to the side of the blade, but did you ever check whether it was also square to the back of the blade? This is important for advanced joinery techniques such as cutting tenons or dovetails. It will also help in the next alignment check, squaring the guidepost.
8) Raise the guidepost as high as it will go. Remove the throatplate if it sits proud of the table (it should be exactly even, or, better yet, a little low in front and high in back). Loosen the trunnion bolts and tilt the table side to side until it rests solidly on its 90° stop (the stop is usually a bolt located under the table's left side). Tighten the trunnion bolts.
9) Place an accurate square alongside the blade. If the table isn't square, adjust the stop.
10) Place the square behind the blade (Photo 7). If the table isn't square in this axis, shim the front or back trunnion (Photo 8). You can use any hard material for shims, including a cut-up soda can. This can be tedious, but it's not difficult. The screws that fasten the trunnion to the table may be hard to access. If so, remove the table from the saw. You will lose the trunnion's position when you loosen all of its screws (it must align properly with the lower trunnion), but the correct position isn't hard to regain. After inserting the shims, loosely tighten the screws and return the table to the saw. Tighten the trunnion bolt, which will pull the upper trunnion into position, then tighten the trunnion screws.
On a well-tuned saw, the guide post runs parallel to the blade. When you raise or lower the guidepost to accommodate material of different thickness, the blade guides and thrust bearing are always in the correct position relative to the blade. If the guide post doesn't run parallel to the blade, you'll have to readjust the positions of the side guides and thrust bearing each time you move the guidepost up or down to saw wood of different thickness. That's a situation you can live with, but you don't have to.
11) To check your guide post, the blade must be tracked and tensioned, and the table must be square to the blade. There are two ways to proceed. The easiest method is to lower the guidepost as far as it will go and plane a short stick, of minimum thickness, to fit between the post and a 12" square (Photo 9). Or you can remove the lower guide assembly from the guide post and place the square directly against the guidepost.
12) To re-align the guide post, you must tilt the entire upper casting of the saw. First, remove the blade. Next, loosen the bolt that connects the saw's upper and lower sections. Place brass shim material in the joint to tilt the guide post front-to-back or side-to-side (Photo 10). It takes trial and error to find shims of the correct thickness. Tighten the joint before checking the guide post. Once the guide post is square, go back to the start of the alignment checks (Step 1) and check that the wheels are still sufficiently coplanar.
Rounding the blade protects the thrust bearings. This is an optional step, but it increases the life of your blade and thrust bearings. The rounder the back, the less likely the blade will crack. The stone also smoothes over the welded portion of the blade, so it can't scar the thrust bearings.
13) Turn on the bandsaw and round the back of the blade with a stone (Photo 11 and Source, below). It will take about five minutes. Begin with the corners, then round the rest of the blade's back.
Many of the procedures above are one-time only adjustments, but every time you put a new blade in your saw you'll have to reset the guides and thrust bearings. Here's how to do it right.
14) Back off the thrust bearings above and below the table. Adjust the side guides, above and below the table, so they don't touch the blade. Track the blade in the center of the upper wheel.
15) Position the guide assembly about 1/4" above your workpiece. Adjust both thrust bearings so they're about .015" behind the blade (Photo 12). That's equivalent to four thicknesses of a dollar bill, or four pieces of standard weight (20 lb.) printer paper. Whatever system of measurement you use, it's important that both bearings sit an equal distance behind the blade.
16) Adjust the side guides forward or backward until their leading edge is about .015" behind the blade's gullet (Photo 13). Be sure to adjust the guides below the table, too. When you cut, the blade will bend backwards and ride against the thrust bearings, but the blade's teeth shouldn't contact the side guides. The narrower the blade, the more care you should invest in getting this setup just right.
17) Adjust each set of side guides close to the blade (Photo 14). The gap should be very small, but not so close that the blade contacts the guides when it's not cutting wood. If you have bearing guides, rather than blocks, make sure that the guides are rotated in such a way that their high points are directly opposite one another. The lower guides on some saws are hard to access. You may find that tilting the table makes them easier to get to through the throatplate opening.

1. Begin aligning your saw by removing the table. It's easy to do. Take off the blade, then unscrew and remove the knobs under the trunnions. The table just lifts off.
2. The first alignment check is to see if the saw's wheels are coplanar (lying in the same plane). Tension the blade, then place a long straightedge across both wheels. Tilt the top wheel so that it's parallel with the bottom wheel.
3. Here's what you may find using the straightedge test. In A, the straightedge touches at four points. The wheels are coplanar, and you're all set. In B, the wheels are parallel, but don't lie in the same plane. Measure the gap behind the straightedge. In C, the top wheel must be tilted before you can determine whether the wheels are coplanar.
4. The fix for wheels that are out of alignment isn't hard. You simply pull off one wheel and remove or install a machine bushing or washer to act as a shim. Some wheels can't easily be removed, however, so you may have to live with a misalignment problem.
5. To prepare for the next step you have to re-install the blade and track it in the center of the wheel. Slowly bring the blade up to tension as you rotate the upper wheel by hand.
6. Adjust the tracking knob to center the blade (A). Turning the knob counterclockwise (B) tilts the upper wheel and moves the blade forward. Turning the knob clockwise (C) tilts the wheel in the opposite direction and moves the blade backward.
7. After centering the blade on the upper wheel, place a 6" square behind the blade. If there's a gap at the top or bottom, the table isn't square to the blade. Measure the gap with shim stock.
8. Shim one of the trunnions to adjust the table. Remove the table to access the trunnion's mounting screws. To start, insert shims that are the same thickness as the gap you measured above, in Photo 7.
9. The third alignment check is to see if the guide post is square to the table, front-toback and side-toside. Place a wood spacer between your square and the guidepost to get an accurate reading.
10. Align your guide post by shimming the saw's column. Loosen the bolt between the saw's upper and lower sections. Place shims in the joint to tilt the column and guide post.
11. Now that your saw is aligned, turn your attention to the blade. It's a good idea to round the back of a new blade with a dry oilstone. Removing the back's sharp corners will extend the blade's life.
Caution: This operation causes sparks. Disconnect your dust collection system from the bandsaw.
12. Adjust the upper and lower thrust bearings about .015" behind the blade. That's equivalent to the thickness of a dollar bill folded twice, making four layers. Remove the guard to make this measurement easier to see.
13. Adjust the forward position of the upper and lower guides. The front edge of the guides should be slightly behind the bottom of the blade's gullet.
14. Adjust the clearance between each guide and the blade. The gap should be about .004", which is the same as the thickness of a dollar bill. You're all set to saw.

Family Fun & Activities
Splash Point is a notable landmark on Worthing's promenade, and now transformed into an exciting public space. With its grove of tamarisk trees, engraved slate boulders, imaginative new seating and water feature, it is enchanting by day or night.
This goes towards enhancing this area even further; in addition to the new interactive water feature you can watch artists at work in the newly converted beach hut artists studios, play a game of volleyball on the new sand courts, have a game of crazy golf or enjoy the peaceful Denton Gardens.
Why not enjoy some refreshment at the beach side café, a great place to stop off mid way along the cycle route that now runs along the entire promenade.
Enjoy the newly built beach garden which has been dedicated to the brave lifeboat crew and fishermen of Worthing who manned the boat between 1853 and 1930. Peter Bottomley MP dedicated the garden on the 7th May 2012 to the memory of the lifeboat crew and fishermen, and Peter Huxtable MBE responded on behalf of the RNLI.
There really is something for everyone!

I recently moved into a house that is on a well system, there is no water softener or R/O system installed, just a 10" pre-filter that until yesterday did not have a filter element inside. I been looking around and found an used kinetico that also come with a hydrotech R/O the system has a kinetcio 60 twin tanks, the hydrotech with one long skinny tank and salt tank and also there is a separate long skinny black tank. the seller claims that the system is 7 years old. the water was tested and i do have ferrous and ferric iron, ph is 6.7, that is all i was told. what is the best approach to install this sytem if i decide to buy it used, can i call kinetico and have them install it or because is used they will not do it, or can any plumber install the system? also been that it is used, should i changed the resin and do a complete service on the unit thanks for any suggestions |

- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Thu, Jul 14, 11 at 10:53
How much iron, manganese, nitrates, bacteria? The Kinetico 60 should have 2 resin tanks that look like torpedoes and a brine (salt ) tank. If the Hydrotech is an RO (Reverse Osmosis) then it should not have a salt tank. Make sure of what you're buying. The Kinetico dealer will most likely be happy to install the softener for a fee and you might let them go through the Model 60 and bring it up to snuff so you start out with a unit that has no problems and is set up correctly. |
thanks for the info. here is a more detail water test I will get in touch with the kinetico people and ask them if they can service the system, thanks |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Thu, Jul 14, 11 at 21:55
Water's not too bad. The model 60 should work. If you get it serviced and set up properly it should last you a long time. |

NO your Kinetico alone will not work as stated. Absolutely not. In fact no softener would. You would get it installed and then discover you are getting iron stains and other iron problems because of your reported ferric (insoluble) iron. Ferric iron (0.8 is significant) pass right through a softener. The 10" pre-filter would need to be maintained (and maybe even doubled in a series) to remove the ferric iron. Is the filter housing a clear housing? But let me take it a little further. Where was the water sample taken? At a kitchen faucet, at the pressure tank? What kind of plumbing do you have, copper, galvanized, plastic? Readings of ferric iron can be in error depending on the testing source. As far as hardness and ferrous iron is concerned, the Kinetico is perfect. At 7 years of age, it hasn't exhausted its original warranty (10 years) but may not be extended to you for a combination of two reasons. Nonetheless, it should still be in excellent condition unless it was used/misused in some extraordinary circumstances. You pH is slightly low and I would not worry about that. Again, what type of plumbing do you? Do you see greenish-blue stains in sinks/toilets? As far as bacterial/viral problems, a local health board can provide service or advice in testing for these issues, which should always be done by new homeowners. Nitrates/nitrites are more common on sources of surface waters and not as common with well waters, but can be tested cheaply. An RO is fairly effective at reducing them. Andy Christensen, CWS-II |
Andy thanks for your comments and suggestions the plumbing is plastic, the reading was taking outside on a faucet, these readings were taken without an element filter in the pre filter housing, the housing is blue in color (we didn't know until i decided to open an inspect it). water was tested by a lab for bacteria/viral problems 3 weeks ago and it was good. the only stains i'm getting are of a brownish color only been able to find one service dealer in my area, and they are giving a bunch of excuses and wanting to know the serial number of the tanks before they come out to install/service them. is this a common practice by kinetico. once again thanks |

Sometimes ferric readings can be causes by build-up in the plumbing and can give a false indication of what's actually coming from the well. Try taking a sample at the pressure tank and see if it is reduced. Asking for a serial number, Uhm? Maybe they wanting to know if another dealer outside their territory is selling new units locally. I don't know and it is not typical. You're asking for a service call, that's all. Where are you located? Look at the top of the valve. Do you see a disc with a number on it? Are there rust stains on the lens? Are the tanks black smooth, black wrapped or tan in color? Did you get a brine tank with it? Sorry for all the questions but you want to make sure it is set correctly. Andy |

We went to Disney a few months ago and I'm just getting some of the video edited. As I've written about before on WDW radio, capturing character autographs on video is a lot of fun. It's one of the few times I recommend capturing the whole experience, because the characters are so richly developed and you could easily miss your opportunity to take home video of something wonderful. Here are two recent finds of mine.
Hollywood Has-Beens: I love the Hollywood Has-Beens, who you can find at Disney's Hollywood Studios. They're great fun, and most people walk right by them! Say hi the next time you're there, they have some great stories!
Captain Hook: Watch to the end to see a trick you can play on the Captain!
You can see all of my video tutorials and Disney related videos at at this link: DisneyHomeVideo

In between heaving and getting the heave-ho, Survivor's Ramona Gray chronicled her Pulau Tiga exploits. In part 1 of our excerpt, she details the physical hardship, the mental exhaustion, and the humiliation of Tribal Council.
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
Jimi Hendrix
[The Survivors are in Los Angeles.] It's almost 1 p.m. and just about all of us are on a bus getting ready to go to CBS. So far, there are 7 women and 6 men (with three people left to go). EVERYONE is white except for this brother (he's a cutie, too) and me. Seems like a pretty cool crew.
We're here at CBS in the boardroom. It's funny cuz we're all sitting round this huge table looking at each other and unable to speak. Almost everyone is reading, writing, or listening to music. I'm trying to figure folks out by watching what they're doing, their body language, nonverbals, anything I can get! But it's not helping and we won't be allowed to speak to each other [until the day we travel to Pulau Tiga]!! UGH!!
Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and
test of our civilization.
Mahatma Gandhi
We boarded our plane last, took our seats (I'm 33D an aisle seat). I immediately got a hold of two Tylenol PM capsules and was out! I'm sure we've already crossed the International Date Line, but my watch says 11:47 a.m. (L.A. time). We're currently passing over Japan and should be arriving in Taipei in a couple of hours. I feel pretty rested so I guess I can't complain, but my back is hurting from constantly trying to sleep comfortably in this chair. We should get awards for just surviving the [vaccinations] and the trip!
We're about 30 minutes from Taipei, where it is 5:24 a.m.! It's weird to have lost a day.... The view from my window is gorgeous! The uninterrupted blue sea...then an island(s) surrounded by lt. blue-green water...it's like paradise. I seem so far away from everything familiar and strangely enough, I'm OK with that even looking forward to the unfamiliar. God is so deliberate in His work! I believe that I am where I need to be at this point in my life in order to fulfill my destiny...now, what that destiny is? I'm not certain. We're about to land...
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
[Two days later]
I'm sitting in a headhunter's
village nuff said! The total unrealness (not a word) of this is
all building up and I haven't even set foot on the island yet!
The day was VERY HOT & VERY LONG! Very valuable, though, cuz [for
two days] we learned about the island living how to build
shelter, what we can and cannot eat/touch (which is everything),
and just a basic heads-up about the island. The sun was
unforgiving and if this was anything like the island will be,
it's gonna be a very difficult time indeed! By 8 p.m., the crew
had come around and taken all of our bags/clothes/EVERYTHING
except what we were taking to the island! I was left with my
outfit that I'm wearing, my hat, scarf, a bathing suit, extra
underwear, rainjacket, my journal, sunglasses, and a pair of
shorts. No deodorant, lotion, toothpaste/brush, Chap Stick,
NOTHING! It's cool though, cuz I'm ready...

12 Random Things I Learned About My Mom From Staying With Her After Hurricane Sandy
I certainly got off luckier than many in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. My power was out for four days, but I was able to grab my dog, hop in a cab and flee to my mom's apartment in Brooklyn, where the electricity was just right, the TV was in the background, and the wifi was delicious. (Beastie Boys reference, sorry.) I was able to work the rest of the week from her apartment and stay up to date on news, particularly how badly Hurricane Sandy had hurt many others in the region. I feel very, very grateful. Especially because staying with my mom for those four days — during which she also worked from home — was actually a really nice experience. I'm nearly 33 and haven't spent that much time with my mom, in a relatively confined space (her apartment is less than 500 square feet), since I was a teenager going on family vacations. In some ways, you would maybe think it would be a recipe for disaster, or at least some serious tension. Nope! In fact, I enjoyed hanging out with my mom so much that I kind of missed her last night when I was chilling back at my apartment.
Getting through Hurricane Sandy relatively unscathed, especially compared to so many others, made me appreciate how good I have it, but so did spending so much time with my mom. For a big portion of our lives, we see our parents as just that — our parents — instead of full-fledged human beings. As adults, I don't think we — and I include myself in this — spend as much time as we should getting to know our parents and appreciating them as people. I got such a kick out of my mom this past week and learned a few random things about her that I might not have. Yes, this is a bit self-indulgent, but let it inspire you to get to know your parents a little bit better, even if it's gathering silly little tidbits about them. Like these! Keep reading »
Girl Talk: Why I'd Never Date Someone Who Doesn't Vote
I have been a registered voter since the week I turned 18 years old. Admittedly, at 18, I was fairly clueless about the people for whom I'd be voting, but I educated myself on each of them the best I could and embraced the privilege like no other. This opportunity, for me, was far more paramount than any other milestone that came with turning 18. But then again, I wasn't a smoker or an avid purchaser of porn, so maybe I had no choice.
I do not regard myself as one who is overtly obsessed with politics. You will not find me on a street corner handing out pamphlets or walking Union Square decked out in a sandwich board that roots for my preferred candidate. Although I am very staunch in my liberal beliefs and will take these thoughts to Twitter and Facebook – where the majority of my friends, if not all of them, share my political ideas – I'm still rather mum on the subject unless pushed. Push me, and I'll gladly tell you my thoughts on why I voted for Obama weeks ago (absentee New Hampshire ballot, because they need every liberal vote they can get), and why I think Romney is bad for women, the environment, equality and pretty much everything else. I'd be more than happy to share this with you, but since, for some, politics falls under the same awning as religion and money, I won't. Besides, there's no sense in getting into a heated debate just so we can throw around the word "malarkey," and walk away knowing, in our hearts of hearts, we are completely and positively right in our views.
However, my lack of public display on the matter, doesn't hinder my devotion. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to politics; we all must be aware and knowledgeable of those in power who are making the decisions. Keep reading »

The 8 Stages Of Being Trapped In Your Apartment For Days
1. Excitement. You've got supplies! You've got wine! You've got enough kettle corn to last for a year! You're finally going to watch all five seasons of "Breaking Bad" and people will stop making fun of you for never having seen it. You are pumped and ready to be a shut in for days, weeks if necessary! Bring it on!!
2. Boredom. You've seen four episodes of "Breaking Bad" and it occurs to you that you've never watched this much TV in one stretch, except for that one time that you had the flu for a week and you watched all six seasons of "Sex and the City" and then called your dad crying, begging for chicken noodle soup. You start to yawn. Like BIG yawns. Endless yawns. You wander from room to room. Bathroom. Water. Wine. Kettle corn. You turn on another episode of "Breaking Bad." You can't do it. Keep reading »

Google's Mayer Says Personalization is Key To Future Search
Re:Sorry, I choose to "personalize" your ideas awa (93 comments)
I just report and discuss what I see and hear and react to it, but I do think the semantic web, whatever it turns out to be, will have some impact on the future of content delivery and of search. I don't think you have to concern yourself with this just yet. As Mayer said, if you bothered read the post, that this is her 2020 prediction, a ways away just yet and lot of technology hurdles to overcome. You have every right to be skeptical, but this is just one person from one company talking and it doesn't necessarily mean this is how it's going to play out.

Wrestling: Merrillville beats Crown Point on sixth tiebreaker
By John O'Malley Post-Tribune correspondent January 2, 2013 11:06PM
Updated: February 4, 2013 2:58PM
CROWN POINT — The intensity between Duneland Athletic Conference rivals Crown Point and Merrillville was running high throughout Wednesday's meet.
The conclusion, though, was anti-climactic.
The No. 9 Pirates (12-2 4-1) ended up taking a 30-29 decision over the No. 4 Bulldogs (12-2, 3-1) based on criteria No. 6 — the number of technical falls.
Merrillville had one — Bobby Steveson winning over CP's Jacob Hazi — the Dogs had none.
Since a forfeit is worth six points just like a pin, it forged a 29-29 tie.
Crown Point, which led 7-0 early, fell behind 29-17, before taking the last three matches, including Josh Fuqua's forfeit win at 126 over the Pirates' Adam Garcia, who's been sick.
"If we didn't have to use him, we didn't want to use him,'' Merrillville coach Dave Maldonado said. "He was iffy and we did some juggling around. We thought we could win without him. This time of year, it's about keeping our kids healthy.''
The key for the Pirates came at 106 when star Michael Garza somehow avoided being pinned by CP's Riley Akers in the first 20 seconds.
Garza then overcame a 5-0 deficit to post an 11-7 decision.
"I think all the matches were good and they were tough matches,'' Maldonado said. "If (Garza) doesn't do it, or Steveson doesn't get the tech fall, or (Eric) DeLuna doesn't get that big fall for us at 182 (it doesn't happen).''
The victory was Merrillville's first over CP since the 2008 Merrillville Semistate overall, but the Pirates' first regular season win over the Dogs since the 2005-06 season.
"They did what they had to do and they out-toughed us in certain matches," Crown Point coach Scott Vlink said.

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

Hi all, A bunch of us would like to go on a road trip from Danbury CT (~60 mile N or NYC) to Cooperstown NY to see Ommegang Brewery and Baseball Hall of Fame. We'd like to take 3 days (Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon) to do this. I was thinking that we'd have time to swing by Ithaca Brewery while we were at it. Any suggestions for other breweries in the area that we could incorporate into our schedule? Thanks!
This map is pretty good and it gives you some options of routes to take. I am partial to CH Evans ale at the Albany Pump Station. Middle Ages, and Empire Brewing in Syracuse are good to.http://www.iloveny.com/brewerytrails/mapoftrails.html
All of the ones you mentioned and those that Law mentioned, plus Brown's in Troy (one of my favorites), and Keegan's if your route takes you that far south. There's also Cooperstown Brewery in just outside Cooperstown not far from Ommegang. Make sure you get fresh Flower Power if you make it to Ithaca!
Cortland Beer Co is in Cortland a few miles North of Ithaca. Empire Brewing in Syracuse has great food and okay beer. Syracuse does have two good beer bars The Blue Tusk and J. Ryans. The Blue Tusk is on the list of places to have a beer in before you die list... FX Matt's Brewery in Utica, makers of Saranac, is one of the older breweries that you could visit. Their tasting room is also on the places to have a beer list...
I would also *highly* recommend Crossroads Brewing in Athens. http://www.crossroadsbrewingco.com/. These guys rock!
I'm lucky enough to live in Ithaca--it's about 2 hours away from Ommegang. While you're in C-Town, go to Cooperstown Brewing and Butternuts. When you're here, stop by Horseheads Brewing. They're real small, but they're making some fantastic beers right now, as well. When you get to Ithaca Brewing Co, make sure you pick up some Brute. It's their sour, and it's spectacular. Also, we have the BEST bottle shop in the area, Finger Lakes Beverage. THe owner makes personal trips to NYC, PA, and the surroundings to pick up fresh bottles that would otherwise never find their way up here.

Pauline - what a gorgeous plunk of flowers! thanks and I'll stiffen my lip for sure now! carla - good for you on taking action! Keep us posted on your daughter and what happens with the driver. spoke with the surgeon's (Bonati's) nurse and I will likely be going back in late August/ early September. The doc needs to review the MRI and schedule me in for surgery... and he is out-of-the-country traisping through Europe effecting miracle cures by laying on of hands... the un-official dx is a thoracic vertebrea problem from the KCofD, which he mentioned way back when would likely have to be dealt with. I wish they could have taken care of everything in one fell swoop, but they only do 2/3 procedures at a time, and then wait a while before doing any more, in case one thing be masking another thing or in case something resolves itself when something else is fixed. oh well, add some more zeros to the settlement check! |
Well if misery loves company call me Mr. miserable.Got up at AM,gonna hit a new spot- 3 hrs of wading and casting and not a strike.Tomorrow the Dr. probes my masculinity with a 2 by 4. |

Watch: Ebro Darden on The Combat Jack Show (Part 2)
It's always worth listening when industry heavyweights Combat Jack and Ebro Darden, Hot 97's program director, connect for conversation. For their latest discussion, Premium Pete, Just Blaze, Dallas Penn, and Combat discuss regionalism, New York rappers getting no girls, and why a lot of rap today sounds like "dudes talking to other dudes in the locker room." Ebro also breaks down what a superstar is to him ("niggas wanna be you and girls wanna fuck you") and uses Notorious B.I.G. as an example.
Listen in to see who Ebro's favorite NY rappers are and why he likes playing the Dr. Narcisse to the New York rap scene.

The reason you are hearing from Richard Clarke through mostly Podesta's "Think Progress" website, is that Clarke has much to answer for for 9/11, and much that may become clearer by it's airing.
Among those I personally know who have given me the low down on Clarke over the last few years, there is also a more visible figure who knows about the wasted efforts to capture Osama Bin Laden, and he's no fan of Clarke. From a Weekly Standard article in 2004, speaking of former Bin Laden unit commander Michael Scheuer who had these thoughts on Clarke:
"Scheuer thinks Clarke is a risk-averse poseur who didn't do enough to fight bin Laden prior to September 11, 2001. At his breakfast with reporters, Scheuer said that on 10 separate occasions his unit, codename "Alec," provided key policymakers with information that could've lead to the killing or capture of Osama bin Laden. "In each of those 10 instances," Scheuer said, "the senior policymaker in charge, whether it was Sandy Berger, Richard Clarke, or George Tenet," resisted taking action, afraid it would result in collateral damage or a backlash on the Arab street.
Which is precisely what the 9/11 Commission Report tells us. The Berger/Clarke/Albright sideshow was afraid to pull the trigger. Ops who were there – and yes they were on the ground in Afghanistan in spite of Clarke's insistence they were not – and got their hands tied by "hand-wringing" by the Clinton Administration and especially the doofus duo of Albright and Berger, who didn't make a move without getting "The Boss" to nod.
I'm going to have a lot more to say on this in th coming days, and like I said before there are those who were there and not drinking the Clinton Kool Aid. They too will be telling their story as well.
The fact that there is such a push back from former Clintonistas is proof in itself that this is a film to watch and take note of. Let's not forget the real reason for all the venom. Democrats want power again, and given what we saw them do – or rather not do when it counted during the Clinton eight-year reign, we simply can't afford it.
After this week, most of the Nation will know this as well.

1OMG!! I just listened to the President's speech on bringing 14 or so of the most dangerous and deadly terrorists out of the secret detention locations to Gitmo to face military commissions! The speech was absolutely breath-taking and garnered a standing ovation at one point at the White House.
Basically, Bush put it on Congress to get off their duffs and pass the legislation necessary for us to be able to prosecute these terrorists. They must now give up their idiotic dreams of getting Rummy fired and DO SOMETHING to help us WIN this WAR!!!
I must admit, I was extremely nervous and anxious when I heard about this speech…but it was absolutely music… to my ears anyway.
God Bless George W. Bush!
Sorry…got carried away.
September 6th, 2006 at 2:53 pm
2Yeah Carol…..about time he asked every single one of them if they think they might find the time to help fight….that's help fight the REAL enemy. Doncha know he gets sick and tired of always having to compromise with each person on the planet in order to prosecute killers? Go get em Mr President!
Now back on topic…I just watched Dem talking head Doug Stone on FOX and that was the most excited I have ever seen him. I mean almost shrieking…screaming like a stuck pig. They absolutely can not believe that something is getting past the DNC's MSM blockage to the masses. He was saying the producer is Rush's friend. Love it.
My big hope is that it will tell me what went down Sandy's socks. I would have figured it was 'life or death' for someone that high up to risk being caught smuggling classified documents. Since the journos were not curious enough to ask him on the front pages, I am pinning my hopes on this movie.

3Sorry Owl,
But I heard this afternoon that ABC execs met over the holiday weekend to decide what needed to be cut or changed to "appease" the Dems! We are told that we "won't be able to tell the difference" between the two versions, but what was the point of altering it anyway? Besides if we haven't seen it yet, how do we know what's been cut. There are still a few days before this is to air…more than enough time for someone to cave even further to pressure, I'm sure!
I put much more stock into Mac's assertion that this is only the beginning of the story on Clinton's utter uselessness as CinC. The truth will not be denied forever!
September 6th, 2006 at 10:22 pm
4I am Not sure yet what was cut but I heard the tailend of Hugh Hewitt's show tonight and on tonights show he had on "The Path to 9/11″ writer/producer Cyrus Nowrasteh. There is a link to the audio to the show here:
If I get a chance to listen to the whole thing and find out what was changed I will post a list here later.
September 6th, 2006 at 11:10 pm
5I was just listening to Hugh Hewitt's show. He says this movie is going to be shown in Canada, New Zealand, Austraila, and on the British Broadcast system so this will be seen AROUND the WORLD! Me thinks they have a bigger problem then they know! LOL Sucks to have reality reach up and slap you across the face! The Dems should have faced up to the reality along time ago.
FYI: I do not have a problem with the showing what errors the Bush II, Bush I, Reagan Admins made. We need to learn from this. Wasn't that one of the mantra's of the Jersey Girls?
Tonight Hugh had on the "The Path to 9/11″ writer/producer Cyrus Nowrasteh. The audio to the program is here.

9Isn't it great that we can depend upon Hollywood for a TRUE rendition of historical events? (Nevermind that a former FBI agent quit the production when he learned that the producers weren't interested in historical accuracy.)
And what about our President bringing 14 prisoners to Guantanamo from the CIA's foreign secret prisons? At last we'll have some REAL evildoers at Guantanamo to join those currently housed there who have no connection to terrorism! Although the President's plan for trying them precludes the prisoners (or their counsel) from reviewing the evidence against them, why should we be concerned about fair trials for people we already KNOW are guilty?

I hope someone can help! Our sky remote used via a magic eye no longer works properly. The only buttons that work are the volume buttons and standby. All the other buttons don't do anything although the red led light does come on when you press them, so there's nothing wrong with the actual remote, it must be the set up. We moved some of our boxes around but are now back in their original place, and all the connections seem fine. The remote with the actual sky box works fine, it's just the link to the tv with the magic eye that is the problem. Any ideas? Thanks! x
Solved! Go to the solution
on 29-11-2011 03:27 PM
You may have to reprogram the remote but you could try removing one battery,hold down the select button for 60 seconds before replacing the battery.
on 29-11-2011 03:47 PM
Thanks for the tip but unfortunately the battery idea didn't work. How do you reprogram the remote? Thanks
on 29-11-2011 03:51 PM
Follow the advice in the link.http://www.sky.com/helpcentre/tv/remote-controls/
on 29-11-2011 05:53 PM
Still not working:-( I tried re-linking using the tv code but this didn't work either. If anyone else has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.
on 29-11-2011 06:47 PM
Physically check your connections again. They may look OK, but there may be an intermittent decoupling caused by a loose connector.
on 30-11-2011 09:39 AM
Hi. Connections all ok. Swapped the remotes over between the two rooms and the other remote works with the magic eye, so it looks like it's the remote that's the issue rather than tvlink or connections. Any other thoughts?! thanks
on 30-11-2011 10:00 AM
All sorted from a reply from Kato on another post. I did the following -
Sky remotes - reprogram standard to operate Sky+ or HD and vice versa
As the title says how to reprogram Sky remotes (and reset them to factory defaults which can cure non operating remotes. All remotes have at least 8 different modes (HD have 12). Obviously standard remotes do not have the Sky+ function buttons but recordings can be played from the planner by highlighting and pressing "Select" twice and stopped by pressing "Backup" - no pause, FF, Rewind or Record buttons (but recordings can be set from pressing "record" on the box.
For most remotes Version 4 and later (white label inside battery cover)
1 Press "TV"
2 Press and hold "Select" and "Yellow" together until red led in remote end flashes twice (On HD remotes "Select" and "i" together) - if it doesn't flash twice then remote cannot be reprogrammed (clone or too old)
3 Press "0" to operate standard box, "1" for Sky+ and on HD remotes "2" for HD - remotes in Sky+ mode will normally control HD boxes as well
4 Press "Select" - red led should flash twice
5 Press "Sky" and away you go
30-11-2011 10:02 AM - edited 30-11-2011 10:04 AM
Which box are you trying to control, and with which remote? - Sky, Sky+ or Sky+HD
EDIT: You got it sorted. Well done.

An Estimated 3.1 Million Hispanic Adults Have Arthritis
Pain and activity limitations are more common among all Hispanics with arthritis than among whites. Exercise can help ease arthritis pain and activity limitations.
An estimated 3.1 million Hispanic adults in the United States have arthritis. A newly released CDC study provides information on the burden of arthritis among specific Hispanic groups in the United States. CDC found the prevalence of arthritis varied across Hispanic populations, ranging from 12% among Cuban/Cuban-Americans to 22% among Puerto Ricans.
The study also showed that at least one in five Hispanics with arthritis experienced an adverse effect associated with arthritis such as activity limitations and pain. Approximately 1.4 million Hispanics had activity limitations due to arthritis, making it the most common arthritis disability across Hispanic groups.
In this report, CDC described the prevalence of arthritis and arthritis-attributable effects (activity limitations, work limitations, pain) among seven groups of Hispanics. The Hispanic groups were: Mexicans; Mexican Americans; Central and South Americans; Puerto Ricans; other or Multiple Latinos/Hispanics; Cuban/Cuban Americans; and Dominicans. This analysis was based on data from the National Health Interview Survey, a survey that is designed to be representative of the U.S. civilian population.
Exercise can help ease arthritis pain.
Exercise is a proven way to reduce arthritis pain and increase physical function. Walking is a safe and effective way to start reducing arthritis pain today. Learn more about managing arthritis pain at http://www.cdc.gov/arthritis/interventions.htm.
Spanish language courses have been developed to teach Spanish speakers skills for managing their arthritis.
- Programa de Manejo Personal de la Artritis (Arthritis Self Management Program) is a class developed specifically for people with arthritis.
- Tomando Control de Su Salud (Taking Control of Your Health) is a class that addresses arthritis and other chronic conditions such as heart disease.
- Manejando Mi Artritis (The Arthritis Toolkit) is a self-study program for Spanish speaking adults with arthritis.

State of the University, 2009
First, I would like to express my thanks to all of you who took the time to attend, or to watch the video-stream of, the State of the University speech Thursday.
