The past couple years we've had such bad luck with cucumbers. They grow fat and seedy without growing long. At first we thought it was the variety and were sure to change to something else. However, this year it's the same thing.
Is it weather or soil related? It was real dry earlier through June-July. Now we're getting lots of rain. I always considered our soil pretty good and we fertilize with manure every winter. |

Sorry, I don't know for sure why your cucumbers are like that. We grow the same variety every year, "Diva", which is very thin-skinned and we always try to pick them when they are small so they aren't as seedy and to keep the plants prolific. How short are they? Perhaps it's some kind of fungus that overwintered in the soil? I did a search trying to find an answer for you but came up pretty empty. I did see a picture of a short, fat, cucumber with the tip slightly curled labeled "nitrogen deficiency". Are the tips of your cucumbers curled? Maybe this could be it. Plus I just found this: "If the leaves on your cucumber plants are pale and turning yellow, especially the lower leaves, the soil may be lacking in nitrogen. Also check for stunted growth and undersized leaves. Fruits may be pointed at the blossom end. To quickly solve this problem, spray your plants with dilute fish emulsion or another liquid fertilizer." I'm poking around while I type this because we've had a few cucumbers do this before and I'm curious. However, we have had many perfectly normal cucumbers so maybe it's just one or two vines for us. There was also something on another site that mentioned over-saturated soil losing nitrogen. It gets washed down below the root zone or something like that. Here's another possibility from A. Probably poor pollination. Improper pollination caused by lack of insects or pollen killed by hot temperatures can cause misshapen fruit. Moisture stress during development can also misshape fruit. Pollination did occur or the fruit would not be present. Hope some of this helps! When the broccoli in our garden went to seed, I held off on cutting the flowers because they seemed to be attracting so many honeybees and butterflies. So pollination isn't a problem in my garden. Do you have any other plants with flowers to attract the insects over near the cucumbers? I'd try that and the nitrogen idea. Not too much nitrogen however, too much can cause other problems. Good luck! |

So, I am having a roofer knock out eave/soffic blocks and add the mesh vent between rafters..
It looks like these are installed from inside the attic after the fact, so that means it's better suited job for myself because the roofer doesn't know what I am talking about and the price probably doesn't include attic crawling. Has anyone done something like this, it's going to be pretty poor clearance to get close on the slope of my roof.
I noticed the builder used thin plywood instead of this stuff for existing soffit vents, do you think that is better?
Follow-Up Postings:
The plastic or foam dams are just fine, no need to cut plywood. Plus they install with a stapler, not nails. They don't do anything except keep the insulation off the open/ventilated/perforated soffit. That is why they come up a ways, in case more insulation is blown in. What you really need is a little person, say around 12 years old. Its tight work. Pull all the insulation back from the interior soffit and install the dam. Repeat as needed and then replace the insulation over the whole perimeter of the roof. Whoever does it will be hot, bruised and sore. Watch out for roofing nails that have penetrated! Make certain the dam is snug to the soffit, you don't want to go to all that effort and have the airflow stop because of stuff creeping in and plugging it up. |
Be sure there is a continuous ridge vent or the eave vent is unlikely to adequately remove moisture from the attic or meet the minimum building code ventilation requirement. |
An adjustable size garden rake works well to pull back the insulation. Set it a little smaller than needed. After you pull the insulation back, staple in the baffle and then use the rake to push the insulation back into position. It lets you stay closer to the middle of the attic. You also need a hard hat since there are often nails sticking through the roof deck. |
Hey guys, what would happen if I don't install the baffles, I don't plan on having additional insulation added. If I just push back the insulation a bit from the vent, do you think the insulation will in the vents by itself again? and this is an technically an intake so it does not blow towards the vent. |
Depending on how the wind is blowing at any time the attic vents can be inlets or outlets, including the soffit vents. |
In a cold climate, pushing the insulation back could cause ice dams in freeze-thaw conditions. In a warm climate pushing the insulation back would only waste energy at the eave. Is there a ridge vent or another way for air to escape the attic? If not, adding eave vents might not be a good idea. What provides the required attic ventilation now? What are you hoping to achieve with this work? |
I got to do this soon, I can see the insulation through the vents.. where did you buy the adjustable garden rake? |

heart failure
heart failure
Inability of one or both sides of the heart to pump enough blood for the body. Causes include pulmonary heart disease, hypertension, and coronary atherosclerosis. A person with left-sided heart failure experiences shortness of breath after exertion, difficulty in breathing while lying down and night breathlessness, and abnormally high pressure in the pulmonary veins. A person with right-sided failure experiences abnormally high pressure in the systemic veins, liver enlargement, and accumulation of fluid in the legs. A person with failure of both ventricles has an enlarged heart and a three-beat heartbeat. Treatment includes bed rest, medications such as digitalis, control of excess salt and water retention, and elimination of the underlying cause. See also congestive heart failure.

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- The pound surged the most in a year against the euro amid concern European leaders will struggle to find funding to contain the region's debt crisis, spurring demand for the relative safety of the U.K. currency.
Gilts gained for a second day as U.K. reports showed business expectations slumped, mortgage approvals fell and house prices declined. Sterling climbed as much as 4.1 percent against the yen after Japan intervened to weaken its currency. U.K. non- residents boosted their holdings of gilts by the most since April 2010 last month, central-bank data showed today.
The pound is "really playing second fiddle to other currencies at the moment," said Chris Walker, a London-based foreign-exchange strategist at UBS AG. "Whether it's events in the euro zone or even overnight yen intervention, that's really been pushing it around."
Sterling advanced 1.6 percent to 86.30 pence per euro at 4:10 p.m. London time after rising as much as 1.7 percent, the most since Oct. 26, 2010. The currency gained 2.8 percent to 125.81 yen. The pound was little changed at $1.6125, after rising to $1.6167, the strongest since Sept. 6.
European governments are running into resistance as they seek to use this week's Group of 20 summit to garner financial support for their rescue fund. Pledges of hard cash are proving hard to come by as G-20 members, due to meet in Cannes, France, this week, press for more details of the plan to solve Europe's debt woes.
Expectations Decline
The pound weakened earlier against the dollar after Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets said its index of business expectations for the economic outlook fell to the weakest since March 2009.
A separate report by property researcher Hometrack Ltd. showed the average cost of a U.K. home fell 0.2 percent from September. The Bank of England said lenders granted 50,967 loans to buy homes, down from 52,347 in August.
The pound has weakened 1.4 percent in the past month, extending its decline over the year to 3.8 percent, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, which track the currencies of 10 developed nations.
The 10-year gilt yield fell 17 basis points to 2.44 percent. The rate on the two-year note slipped two basis points to 0.53 percent.
U.K. non-residents bought 12 billion pounds more gilts than they sold in September, according to data published today by the Bank of England. They sold a net 731 million pounds in August, the data show.
Gilts have returned 11 percent this year, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies, beating the 6.2 percent for German bunds and 7.3 percent gain for U.S. Treasuries.

Olivier Giroud has been the target for Arsenal fans' continuous rants and abuse since the last game. He has been criticized heavily for the low work rate and slow speed because of which he doesn't find himself in time for pouncing on the chances Arsenal's midfield creates. Hence the need for an attacking power upfront is clearly visible.
Nicklas Bendtner has offered next to nothing this season and while youngster Yaya Sanogo is an exciting prospect he needs more first team experience.
Although, 21 year old Drmic has enjoyed an impressive season for Nuremberg, currently sitting joint 2nd in the scoring charts with 16 goals in the Bundesliga. The young striker has stepped up well from the Swiss Super League to the Bundesliga and is undoubtedly a young player with a lot of talent, who this season has backed that up with the goals to prove it.
Jan Åge Fjørtoft recently on his official Twitter account reported that Drmic will be an Arsenal player. There is every chance Drmic will be on the move this summer and if Lotthar Matthaus is to be believed that move will be to North London and there is every chance the Croatian born Swiss international will be a hit at the Emirates but it will of course be a risk for the Gunners whose fans are likely to want to see a more established figure bolster their attack.

Veramonte Primus 2010 750ml$18.94Veramonte Primus 2012 750ml$22.84
Veramonte Ritual Sauvignon Blanc 2012
- Casablanca
- Chile
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Sauvignon Blanc is widely considered to be one of the finest varietals of white wine grapes. The green skinned fruit is notable for ripening relatively early in the year, due to the fact that it prefers milder temperatures and cannot maintain its distinctive flavors in hot climates. As such, it has become a favorite grape varietal for wineries in many very different countries around the world, where it can benefit from brisk, coastal breezes and mild early summers. Sauvignon Blanc is revered for its freshness and zesty character, and generally produces wines which are dry and very crisp on the palate. However, there are a wide variety of wines produced from this wonderfully versatile grape with many wineries preferring to age the fermented juices in oak, or allowing malolactic fermentation to add a creamier, buttery finish to the grassy and tropical, citrus flavors it often carries.
When considering the rich and fertile central valleys of Chile, where we find most of the oldest, grandest and established wineries, it is difficult to imagine a more suited landscape for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Mineral rich soils, eight months of sunshine per year, oceanic winds and clear water running down the mountainsides it is little wonder that the imported Old World grapes do so well here. Chile is renowned world-wide for producing highly drinkable wines, packed full of fruit-forward character and enjoyed young and fresh, as well as being home to more complex wines reminiscent of many Old World varieties. Whilst the Cabernet Sauvignon is widely regarded as being Chile's 'flagship' grape varietal, equally fine produce comes from Chardonnay grapes (indeed, the Sol de Sol Chardonnays are widely agreed to be amongst the New World's finest white wines) the plummy Merlot and silky, intense Pinot Noir.

Some child support payments in Maryland could soon go up - a change that state Human Resources Secretary Brenda Donald called "long overdue."
For the first time in two decades, lawmakers are poised to revise the guidelines that courts use to set child support when divorcing or unmarried parents cannot agree on an amount. Those guidelines are based on household expense data from the 1970s, and although they accommodate rising incomes, advocates say they don't account for the escalating costs of raising a child.

Re: rammed:by the customs & border patrol
I don't see any mention in the 4th amendment about boats.
My home is my home it is unreasonable without a signed warrant.
Boats have been a major vehicle of smuggling for centuries
Other than the long historical perspective, so have planes, cars, backpacks/purses and pockets. So what is your point????
inbound container ships
Yes hassle a six knot vessel but not a 20+knot cargo ship that their load is only what ??? at what fraction of a percent is actually inspected? Brokers cleared my last shipment.......guess what was NOT inspected?
Otherwise, they have no idea who you are and what you're up to out there.
It is my right not to tell them what I am doing or where I am going. It is not their business. I do not talk to cops other than the basic hi and by. Not rude, just to the point and brief. That is another "right" you would love to give away.
if the people aboard are even sane:
A license, credential or TSA background check card is not assurance of sanity or safety.
I'm sure the flames I'm going to get will demonstrate.
Yes, you are in such danger you are willing to live in a police state that cannot possibly protect you. To the point of facilitating the repression of people who have no interest in acts of terrorism. Flames not really, just amusing to see an intelligent being pretending that the house that is burning is a sound structure.
I'm as Libertarian as anyone
You are not even on the same planet as a libertarian.
Sailing a boat is not a terrorist act.

Be afraid, be very afraid
The underwear bomber is still very much in the news (in addition to being charged with conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism, I believe he should also face a count of having a name too large to fit into newspaper headlines).
There are two ways to look at the case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
1) If al-Qaida is so pathetic it has to send a nut ball armed with a Rube Goldberg underpants device to attack America, then we can all take heart.
2) We should all be very afraid because the Obama administration can't protect America.
Gosh, can you guess which scenario the Republicans are gleefully pushing? Yes, No. 2. Check out this morning's story, printed in the PG. from the Washington Post. They seem positively delighted that this happened.
Makes perfect sense. Just because your last campaign slogan was "Country First" doesn't mean you can't put Party First in making national security a point of partisan advantage.
To some extent it is fair. This happened on Obama's watch and some responsibility attaches to that. And it is true that Janet Napolitano, the homeland security secretary, made herself ridiculous by initially saying that the system had worked. No, it hadn't. Little Nellie and her Dog knew that.
After she recanted that view, President Obama came out yesterday and plainly acknowledged a "mix of human and systemic failures." Indeed.
But, you know, the human failures occurred in the context of a system put in place during the Bush administration. The Director of National Intelligence was created after 911, as was the National Counterterrorism Center. They were set up to avoid the very thing that happened.
I get that Obama is now on watch and the buck stops with him but it seems to me that he hasn't done anything different than Bush would have done. Moreover, Bush's response was to invade a country (Iraq) that was not responsible for 9/11 while neglecting, after a sweeping initial success, the country (Afghanistan) that hosted the terrorists who hatched the plot.
Obama has decided, for good or ill, to step up the pressure in Afghanistan. In this, his approach on terrorism is more sensible than Bush's. But I don't blame Bush either. Clearly, the system needs to be changed or tweaked.
What offends me is making political hay out of this, as the Republicans are attempting to do. They really do think the American are a bunch of foolish, sniveling cowards. Shame on us if Umar Underpants returns us to the politics of fear.

Price: New $
For such a light racquet, this racquet impresses with a solid and comfortable feel. Players looking to maximize racquet head speed will love the maneuverability this racquet offers. The easy to swing feeling results in a spin-friendly feel that is ideal for slice and dice players as well as those who like to rip topspin. Smaller framed adults and juniors making the transition into an adult racquet will also benefit from the easy swinging nature of this racquet. At net, the AeroPro Drive Team GT feels lightning fast. The feel is crisp and clean with plenty of comfort coming from the generous sweetspot. Those difficult transition shots become a tad easier with this one thanks to the maneuverable feel and spin-friendly response. On serve players will find it easy to generate the racquet head speed needed for both pace and spin. Stronger players will also find plenty of room for weight/balance customization thanks to the light strung weight. Well worth a demo for 3.5 players seeking a blend of power and control with excellent maneuverability. Note: Due to racquet stiffness, when stringing with a polyester or a co-polyester we highly suggest 54lbs as a starting point for tension.
Racquet does not come with a cover.

A £23m mixed-used development on the corner of Lavington Street and Great Suffolk Street in Southwark, London, has just started construction. Designed by Allies and Morrison for the UNITE Group, the UK's leading developer and manager of student accommodation, the 14,021 sq m (gross external area) scheme provides accommodation for 230 students studying in the area, as well as 4,056 sq m of office and retail space.
Arranged with a choice of flats and studios, the student accommodation will be housed across two buildings - a six-storey block fronting Great Suffolk Street and a 13-storey tower set back behind the perimeter buildings. Communal facilities include a common room, landscaped courtyard, and a roof top terrace with an adjacent lounge area. Offices will be located in a separate six-storey block with its main entrance on Lavington Street.
The overall massing of the development is defined by three distinct buildings. Through the façade design, which features a combination of fair faced brick work and aluminium rainscreen cladding, both the urban scale and the detail in relation to street level and the wider context ensure that they fit in well with surrounding area.
The development is due for completion in time for the new academic year 2010.

He trails off, thinking of their brief conversation. Lehman had talked about Iraq; how, in hindsight, Lariam had messed up everyone on the team. "Manic Mondays," they'd call the days they took the pills. Laughing, he even brought up the Green Eggs and Ham thing. But Lehman, looking disheveled, also mentioned his problems now, his PTSD and TBI, and said was hoping Pogany could help him. Pogany gave him his card, and then that was it. "He took his green beret out of his pocket, put it on and walked out the door," Pogany remembers. "That was the last time I saw him."
They next time he sees him may be in his dreams.

Anne Smith's Cups
Anne Smith's work is really beautiful. She does a series of cups that has captured my attention since I was an art director! But I didn't know she made pottery cups before her painting incarnations. Read her story in the latest issue of Everything in My House, an online magazine that has just published a lovely feature on her work. Read it here (flip to page 37!).

@RIOT I'm 96425 RP short of having all the champions and skins I want
1 Attachment(s)
So I took a photo of a cat taking a dump on the toilet reading a newspaper while Phreak commentates on it.
This may look like a RP request thread but it isn't. If you don't give me this exact amount of RP, and not a single point more or less...I will kill the cat. The cat is currently unaware that that his life is in danger, or that he is being commentated on by Phreak, HOWEVER, if I don't get a reply soon I'm afraid I may have to do something drastic to show I mean business. EDIT: I uploaded the panels to my site for the people that don't feel like going through this entire thread. http://www.anangryoctopus.com/catventure/ Panels 1-134 are up EDIT2: They changed my name from Pablo Escobutt to Master Sheepy! EDIT3: My name is changed back. Riot is playing mind games! |
You could say this plan,
Is purrrrfect YEEAAAAHHHHHHHH |
1 Attachment(s)
Riot I am absolutely serious, I don't want to hurt this cat but I will if you make me. His life is in your hands.
I have a shoe box full of baby kittens you can kill also if your demands aren't met.
Riot, please, save teh kitteh!
Every time you reward someone free RP, God kills a kitten.
Now that's a catch-22. |
I want to see the weapon you wish to use to kill the kitty.
If you want riot to take you serious it should be a bear with chainsaws for arms. please draw for me. |
In a world, where cats shoot lasers out of their mouths....
I think the more important question, is that cat reading the Daily Growl? That's not a reputable journal of opinion.

Although the cat has apparently finished his business, my demands still stand!

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - M&M's is reminding adults that candy isn't just for kids.
A new line of Mega M&M's, which on average are 55 percent bigger than the originals, were introduced Thursday at Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan.
"It's the candy that everyone loves, but with a bigger chocolate taste," said Masterfoods USA spokeswoman Joan Buyce.
Masterfoods USA owns the M&Ms brand and is a part of closely held food manufacturer Mars, Inc.
While Mini M&M's are popular among moms and kids, the new, bigger M&M's are designed with adults in mind.
"It broadens our portfolio so there's something for everyone," Buyce said.
The new M&M's are available in milk chocolate and peanut varieties and come with an "adult-oriented" color scheme that includes teal, beige, maroon, gold, brown and blue-gray.
M&M's launched limited-edition "Ogre-sized" M&M's last year after "Shrek 2" was released, but this time, the mega-sized candies are here to stay as part of the M&M's permanent line.
"They're not an in and out item," Buyce said.
The last change M&M made to its permanent line was the addition of Crispy M&Ms in 1998.
Mega-sized M&M's sell for $2.79 for a 12.6 ounce bag or $4.15 for a 19.6 ounce bag.

What are you most looking forward to??
We have almost the same dates - March 1-8. But since we're driving from Ohio, we'll leave home on the 28th. We'll be staying offsite that night, hopefully right in Orlando.
We'll be at the Poly, which I think is what I'm most looking forward to! This will be our 5th stay there. The first was in 2007, our first family trip, which was supposed to be a "one time" splurge. Of course we fell in love!! Our traveling group is myself, DH and our 2 kiddos. DD will turn 10 on our arrival day of March 1. DS will be 11. Then there's my sister and her then- husband (they get married on July 6!). This is our 3rd trip in a row traveling with them. Next up is my BIL (DH's brother), SIL and nephew, who will be 7. Our second trip with them. My other, single BIL is 99% certain at this point. We have a few other maybes, including some friends. My Mom might fly down for a few days, we'll see. We're already having group "planning" meetings which are mostly an excuse to drink and eat, lol. That's half the fun! My sister will be at the Poly for sure, their first time there. Others aren't sure yet. |
Wow!!! That sounds like an exciting trip!!! I love the idea of your "group planning" meetings!!! :thumbsup2
We will probably be taking my mom for our March trip and it will be our first trip with her. I'm most looking forward to seeing the magic through her eyes since she hasn't been since ummm 1976 when there was only MK and she had only gone for a day. |
It's so fun to go with first-timers! In 2007, it was the kids and DH, then in 2009, my sister's boyfriend. This time it will be my single BIL if he goes. I don't think anyone can really "get it" until they go!!
I just noticed our sons are both 10. Can't believe I have a child that old, lol. He'll be 11 in May. |
My "baby boy" will be 11 in May as well. Why can't they stay little forever??!!! I hope you have a great day! We are in the middle of state testing here so my days are crazy!!! |
YAY!!! A March 2014 thread, definitely subscribing! :cool1: My family will be back home March 1- 8, 2014 and will stay at POR. I have been struggling with these dates because not sure if Mardi Gras on March 4th will affect the crowds. Since Easter is not until April 20th next year I was hoping for low crowds. Either way I am super excited. Our DS's do not know when we are going. My oldest thinks it will be December 2014, he will be excited when we leave the morning of our trip. ::yes:: I look forward to reading and planning with everyone.:banana:
Mardi Gras will definitely affect the crowds. In the south, mainly Louisiana, students will have off Monday through at least Wednesday for Mardi Gras. We are taking off the Thursday and Friday as well to have a full week in Disney. (I'm a teacher so I don't have much choice for my days.) I find Mardi Gras the first week of March (back in 2011) to be slightly busier than the first couple of weeks of June but with beautiful weather and Flower and Garden Fest!! I can't predict the future but I definitely feel that the crowds are still manageable and better than further into the month. |
Just wondering what everyone is doing in preparation for their upcoming March trips.:rolleyes1 I have been trying to figure out what places we want to eat at for our nightly dinners. I know we will go to Chef Mickey's (youngest DS LOVES) again as well as Coral Reef (my DH loves the steak). My family really did not like Liberty Tree Tavern. I think we may try Sci Fi and Hoop Dee Do Revue. Also, I am making a list of rides and other things we missed in 2012; so we can catch them in 2014.:thumbsup2 Have fun planning!!:cheer2:
We've been discussing resorts to stay at and restaurants to eat at but I must say that I"m REALLY distracted by my ticker right now so I'm not getting much done. :rotfl:
We've been talking restaurants! Hoop Dee Doo is a for sure for our first night. We all loved it, but DD was sick when we went last trip and couldn't fully enjoy it. They make a big deal if it's your actual birthday, too, so it's where she's picked for her birthday dinner. Ohana is another definite.
Others we are considering - we'd like try California Grill if we like the looks of the new menu. Considering Tutto Italia for a late lunch. Maybe 1900 Park Fare breakfast. Most of us had decided not to do Chef Mickeys this time, but DS, who never asks for anything has asked for it. But we found out it's just for their corn!! Lol. We might just bring him a can of corn or we may end up there again. We plan to do the DDP again, but we don't want dinners every night. We found in 2012 that in early March, dinner time is often the warmest time of day for swimming. We often felt like we were rushing to get ready for dinner when we wanted to be lounging by the pool. So we plan to do some Signatures to have some "ADR-free" days, and some breakfasts and/or lunches. |
Subscribing as I am hopeing to book a BB for March 2014 during our trip in November. Thinking about CR or AKL
Planning for early March too! It is our DS 1st visit he will be 23 months old when we leave.
I am considered about crowds but spring looks crazy this year no matter when you go. |
:welcome: :wave2: Are you part of the November Facebook group? I am a member there as well. We are crazy enough to be going during Thanksgiving week. Quote:
Can you please add me?

1958 DKW Universal Kombi news, pictures, specifications, and information | ||
Tweet |
Wagon Chassis Num: 69584369 | |||
Sold for $60,500 at 2012 RM Auctions. |
In 1932, Audi, Horch, Wanderer, and DKW merged, forming Auto Union. In 1957, ownership came under Daimler-Benz and in 1964, was purchased by the Volkswagen Group.
Though motorcycles were a large part of the DKW business, automobiles were also an integral part. They produced cars from 1928 until 1966 and were one of the very first marque's to use front-wheel drive and transverse mounting. Power was from a two-stroke engine that displaced 600 or 700cc, producing 18 to 20 horsepower. Their most popular pre-War models were the F1 through F8, with the 'F' representing 'front.'
In 1950, a 620cc twin, named Meisterklasse (master class) was introduced, succeeded by a three-cylinder Sonderklasse (special class) in March of 1953. The Sonderklasse was initially a two-door sedan that was later offered as a coupe, a cabriolet, a four-door sedan and a 'Universal' Kombi, or station wagon. In 1955, the sobriquet '3 = 6' was adopted, signifying that a three-cylinder two-stroke was as powerful as a four-stroke six. With the adoption of four-cycle, 1,700 cc powerplants in the 1960s, the name 'Audi' was revived and applied to subsequent cars.
This DKW Universal Kombi has been the subject of a complete rotisserie restoration and finished in Champagne Yellow over Willow Green. The car is equipped with a Blaupunkt radio with a separate marine band option and Blaupunkt speakers, Marchal driving lights and a rare factory locking gas cap. The car's odometer shows less than 22,000 miles.
The two-stroke inline three-cylinder 896cc engine offers 40 horsepower and it's mated to a four-speed manual front-drive transmission. There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and a wheelbase that measures 96 inches.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at RM Auction's sale in Amelia Island, Florida. It was estimated to sell for $50,000 - $70,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $60,500 inclusive of buyer's premium.

Does anyone know where to find the little metal lock that holds your blinds up when you pull on the strings? I called smith and noble because that piece is missing but they want me to send everything back to the factory for a 2-3 week repair....surely this is just a piece part you can find at a hardware store?
Any thoughts on how to repair or what you call this little piece will be appreciated. Thanks! Laura |
Follow-Up Postings:
It could be a proprietary piece unique to the blinds and not routinely carried by a hardware store. I would: 1) call a blind shop and ask if they repair this manufacturer's blinds...and then ask to buy the part, or 2) call the factory and politely, but firmly, ask to speak to a manager (or the manager's manager) until you get the right answer. |
Stay away from Smith and Noble. Stay far, far away. I ordered 6 shades. I paid Smith and Noble to come measure. When the shades arrived, 5 of the 6 were about 1/4 to 1/2 inch too wide for the windows. I asked to return the shades to get my money back. Turns out their "satisfaction guarantee pledge" means that they won't give you your money back, no matter what. They insist on coming back to re-measure, but a) I can't take time off from work again for this, and b) why would I want to run the risk of further screw ups and hassle? Their customer service staff come across as Soviet-style bureaucrats. Evidently, Smith and Noble could care less about disappointing their customers and engendering ill will. I guess my next steps are to file complaints with the BBB and my state's attorney general, as well as dispute the original charge with my credit card company. I'll probably send the shades back to the company's president for good measure. Keep in mind that Smith and Noble's "partner sites" (i.e. sister companies) include Ballard Designs, Grandin Road, Garnet Hill, TravelSmith, Frontgate, and others. You can rest assured that I won't be giving any of them my business in the future either. |

Returning to smoking not a safe way to reduce symptoms of ulcerative colitis
DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I recently quit smoking and ended up with a moderate ulcerative colitis flare. Could a short return to nicotine help with my symptoms? Are there any other recently discovered treatments for flare-ups?
ANSWER: Studies have shown that smoking can reduce symptoms of ulcerative colitis, and people who quit smoking are at risk of an ulcerative colitis flare. But a return to smoking is not recommended. A variety of other safe, effective treatment options are available.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation in part of the digestive tract. It typically affects the innermost lining of the large intestine, or colon, and rectum. Symptoms come and go. They often include abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, cramps and weight loss. The severity of ulcerative colitis varies significantly from one person to another.
It has been observed that when some people stop smoking and then have a flare-up of ulcerative colitis, if they return to smoking, the symptoms go away. It's not clear why this happens. It may be linked to an association between smoking and the changes it causes in rectal blood flow, mucus within the colon, or the way certain white blood cells work.
Due to the other overwhelming health risks associated with smoking, however, do not start smoking again to get rid of your ulcerative colitis symptoms. Instead, make an appointment to see a gastroenterologist -- a doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the digestive tract. He or she can help you find a safe and effective treatment for the disease.
In some cases of mild ulcerative colitis, people wear a nicotine patch or use other nicotine-replacement therapies to help control ulcerative colitis symptoms. That is not a standard treatment, though, as other medications are typically more effective.
For many mild to moderate ulcerative colitis cases, the first step in treatment is a drug from a class of medications called 5-aminosalicylates. These anti-inflammatory drugs work through direct contact with the colon lining. They come in pill form, or they may be given as a medicated suppository or enema.
For people who don't respond to 5-aminosalicylates or other anti-inflammatory medications, prednisone or another steroid may help reduce symptoms. But they can only be used for short-term treatment because the side effects of long-term steroid use can be significant. For severe or hard-to-treat cases of ulcerative colitis, stronger medications may be necessary, including drugs that suppress the body's immune system.
One group of immunosuppressants, called anti-TNF biologic agents, has been shown to be particularly useful in people for whom other medications have not been effective. They work by neutralizing an immune system protein known as tumor necrosis factor, or TNF. The drugs find TNF in the bloodstream and remove it before it can cause inflammation in the colon or rectum. Another new drug currently in review, called vedolizumab, also looks promising in the treatment of severe ulcerative colitis.
When medications do not work and ulcerative colitis is severe, surgery may be an option. Typically it is considered only when all other treatment options have failed, however, because it usually involves removing the entire colon and rectum.
Although there's no solid evidence that diet has an effect on ulcerative colitis, some people do seem to get relief from symptoms by reducing the amount of certain foods they eat, such as red meat, sugar and dairy products. Results vary considerably from one person to another. But, if you wish, you can experiment with your diet to see if changes are helpful.
See a gastroenterologist to discuss your condition and your treatment options. Also, ask about colon cancer screening. The risk of developing colon cancer in people who have ulcerative colitis is about twice the normal risk, so being checked on a regular basis is important. And remember, to protect your overall health, do not start smoking again. -- Edward Loftus, Jr., M.D., Gastroenterology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.

I bought a small sized bottle of this to try because of the good reviews here; however, this product weighed my long, fine, wavy hair down, and if I apply too much, it makes my hair greasy. I'm sure this is because of the oils in it, which is too bad because it smells WONDERFUL! In fact, it is one of the best-smelling hair care products I've ever come across. It has a very subdued sweet fragrance. I'm sure this product is deserving of it's good reviews because I suspect it will work wonders on thicker hair. It is full of good silicones and good oils. It just did not work for me.
This review is for the "Color & Heat Protection" one in the red bottle. Love, love, love! I'm such a glossing polish fiend and I have so many but I find some are too thick and almost sticky or they contain alcohol. Not this one. In addition to the usual cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, etc... it also contains ethyl ester of hydrolyzed silk, tocopherol acetate, aloe leaf extract, and safflowerseed oil... and a faint Kool-aid scent that dissipates.
I don't know if this protects any better than their regular Glossing Polish but this one does have the silk whereas the regular one does not. Works very well to smooth, defrizz and for flat ironing. My hair feels sooo soft!
This is GREAT stuff. I purchased this at my local Sally's after reading all the wonderful reviews.
My hair- right after I wash it, it is poofy and sort of frizzy, and thick. (I have straight to wavy hair and I'm half asian).
A day after- it gets oily, and feels dirty.
I used this for the first time yesterday after I took a shower and towel dried my hair. I used around 10 drops because I have very long hair. This morning, it is frizz-free and just the hair I'm always trying to achieve by controlling other factors like how much I dry it, when I wash it...now I don't have to get paranoid because I've found my miracle weapon. I did get the one that was made for heat protection (the red bottle instaed of the regular one)- I've got color treated hair and I'm thinking about buying a Sedu iron to straighten my hair.
This has got to be one of my favorite hair products, I've used it for almost 5 yrs now. It leaves my hair so healthy looking, silky, and shiny! My hair is dry, highlighted, thick and wavy, and no matter how much of this I use, it never looks greasy and doesn't build up. Love the sweet scent. I'll continue to re-purchase.
Edit: 02/05/09: I really do swear by this. I use it after ABBA Nourishing leave-on, and recently my stylist actually called over the salon owner to feel how soft my hair is, she was amazed. I greatly attribute the shine & condition to this.

This serum weighs down my hair and whenever I use it, my nape hairs get all tangled.
I used to spend over $30 for Biosilk until a friend told me about this. It's about $5 at Sally's and works EXACTLY the same. It smoothes and gives tons of shine.
I'm absolutly obsessed with this product. It keeps frizz away like no other I've ever tried. I have thick/coarse/curly hair and i use this before and after i blow dry and also a little after i straighten my hair. It helps so much, it smells amazing, its cheap, you pretty much can't go wrong with this product!!!
Works just as good as Silk Therapy, (several of the ingredients are the same), and smells good too. Small bottle lasts a long time, but I will repurchase.
Silk Therapy is $5.31 an ounce.
Proclaim is $1.00 an ounce, (with Sally card).
This keeps my hair frizz-free and also silky smooth without weighing it down. IT has so many great oils in it and makes the hair really shiny!
More reviews by cutie_patootie
This is an outstanding product. It is inexpensive, comes in a travel-friendly or trial size for $2.50, the cap does not leak, and it performs!!!! My hair is fine but abundant, wavy and tends to get dried out/inflexible. This serum protects and moisturizes so that I have bouncy, flexible, shiny hair. I use it both before and after I blow-dry. This is replacing my Kerastase Oleo Relax, which was ok but did not have as great of an effect. The Proclaim is also fantastic in that it is a combo silicone and natural oils serum, so I think it's really conditioning at a deep level instead of just superficially fixing dryness. Yay!!

We're actually getting something. That's all I care about.
Nyasu with more focus is just a bonus.

Meowth. Stop... it's getting old.
I'm glad we're seeing something actually happening with the TR crew, but I really just wish it wasn't the same old Meowth leaves for a while because he's a pokemon and he isn't feeling respected.
And who says that's what the plot is?
I'm sure it could be something else, but I just don't really have enough faith that it will be something we haven't seen before. Based off of what we have seen before, I'm not expecting anything that'll turn the tables. I won't judge the episode one way or another whether its Meowth simplying conning Corless, but I think there are some people who will. I'm sure there are other things that could be done with the TRio, but really I'm just happy to see them getting some action in a series that has been terribly lackluster for them.
This seems to have a lot of Talk Here, I can't wait for what Meowth is up to with Colress was he captured by Team Plasma or is he just pretending to be a Good Guy again and Let The Ultimate Betrayal Happen again since this is what I called it when he Betrayed Ash and the the others in Nimbassa City which Was Totally Epic And Really Good.
Kinda, sorta called it!
Meowth: Let's show these fuckers how we do things in Kanto!
Plasma Grunt: Dis how we do thangs in Isshu, bitches! Lipard, hyperbeam dey sorry asses! *the rap song "Straight Outta Castelia" blares from helicopter speakers*
And six straight episodes of Team Plasma goodness?
...I-I don't know if my body is ready

Oh, great. No more Meteonite? No more Pierce? That's just wrong! Banning the original "Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma!" two-parter is just wrong!

Hooray for the Fairy-type!
Nyasu and Achroma? I'm so confused....
Maybe he sees Nyasu's speaking ability as a different type of strength and wants to study him/team up with him temporarily? From the screencap, their interactions don't look hostile or forced.
I hear them coming for me, because the top is lonely
You could be king, but watch the queen conquer
I guess this is the retcon of that two-parter, however vague it may be.
I think Meowth will trick Colress to get information on Team Plasma from the inside. Colress probably wants to study Meowth because he can talk. Can't blame him either. Meowth is probably one of the most interesting Pokemon in the entire world of Pokemon. Either way, Im really excited to see my favorite character from the anime (Meowth) and my second favorite character from the games (Colress) to be in the title together.
I see the angle of Meowth tricking them working. But considering Colress's intelligence, I bet he'd just play along with Meowth until he gets what he wants, outsmarting the Rockets on this one.

Yeah if this does happen The Ultimate Betrayal Part 2 Is going to happen but we at least know he is faking this time.
