This set of three videos illustrates how math is used in satellite data analysis. The videos feature NASA senior climate scientist Claire Parkinson. Parkinson explains how the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice covers are measured from satellite data and... (View More) how math is used to determine trends in the data. In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly average sea ice extents for November 1978 – December 2012, for the Arctic and Antarctic. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets. (View Less)

"I bought these to use as thank-you cards to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations for my son's baptism. They are both described as the color Aloe, so I took a chance and the colors do match perfectly. I was able to choose the same font on both products which was great. The quality of both the photo and the paper itself were excellent as always."
"I love this Thank You card! A simple thank you, a name and small photo....all done so perfectly! Another great product from Tiny Prints!! My favorite place to shop for all my special occasions!!!"
"This was the perfect thank-you card! I prefer a flat card over folded and this card has just enough room on the front to write a personalized thank-you note. The picture is small, so I suggest using a face close-up. Very cute!"
"The photo of my son came out perfectly! I'm so impressed with the detail and I'm looking forward to writing many thank you notes!!"
"Great with a color photo, or one that is sepia or black & white. I used a cute font for my daughter's name too. So much more personal when a thank you has a picture on it!"

FinePrint is a printer driver that gives you more control over your print jobs.
Print up to eight pages on a single sheet, without any degradation in print quality, thus saving paper and ink. Pages can be printed double-sided to reduce paper use even more, including with printers that don't directly support this feature.
Create letterheads using FinePrint and they can be applied to any document you like, including programs that don't directly support graphics (e.g. spreadsheets).
It works extremely well with web pages, enabling you to preview pages first and scale to fit on a single page, avoiding those half pages. It also lets you remove banner ads and other advertising bitmaps.
A built-in stationery feature lets you include headers, footers, date and time stamps, page numbers, and even watermarks (confidential, draft etc.) for those professional touches.
Booklets can also be created by automatically organising the pages so that, when printed, they are in the correct order for folding and stapling.
FinePrint works with any printer, any standard Windows application and any type of document.

Nick and Joe Jonas Cover 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You' With John Stamos: 5 Other Unlikely Musical Collaborations (VIDEOS)
The Jonas Brothers are jamming with Uncle Jesse? No, this isn't a dream, folks!
Former Disney stars Nick and Joe Jonas recently shared the stage with Full House actor John Stamos during the latter's set at The Bitter End in New York City.
The unlikely trio surprised the audience with a sultry rendition of "Superstition" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," with Joe and Nick on vocals while Stamos rounded out percussion duty.
However, this actually wasn't the weirdest musical collaboration in Hollywood history.
Read on as Celebuzz counts down the top 5 most outrageous duets, below.
5. Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber: It makes perfect sense that two pop sensations would join forces to create one supersong, but Carey and Bieber's rendition of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" left critics with a bitter taste in their mouths. The reason: Everyone was shifting uncomfortably in their seats when the 41-year-old Carey pranced around in front of the 17-year-old Bieber in nothing but a skimpy Santa Claus costume for the music video.
4. David Bowie and Bing Crosby: David Bowie crashed crooner Bing Crosby's 1977 TV special Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas and the unlikely duo launched into a bizarre rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Peace on Earth." According to Rolling Stone, Bowie didn't want to do the song but Crosby put his foot down, forcing the British rocker to awkwardly sing along to the Christmas tune.
3. Eminem and Elton John: In 2001, Eminem was notorious for the abundance of anti-gay slurs in his songs. So when he hit the Grammys stage with Elton John -- who is openly gay -- many fans were shocked to see the total opposites collaborating so well on Slim Shady's hit song, "Stan."
2. Jessica Simpson and Ozzy Osbourne: One sung bubblegum pop during the early 2000's, the other bit off a bat's head like it was bubblegum. Needless to say, no one saw this duet coming.
1. Elmo and Andrea Bocelli: Defying genre and, um, species, Sesame Street's Elmo and classical singer Andrea Bocelli tops the list with their rendition of "Time To Say Goodnight."

Hell ****ing yes! Hopefully they'll do the current story in the manga.
Grumble Grumble Grumble
The rumors have finally been confirmed, A 3rd Season for the dark and gritty series 'Black Lagoon' has been officially announced. Details are slim, with no episode count or release dates, but no doubt that this will be a popular and anticipated series release...
Third Black Lagoon Anime Project Confirmed - Anime News Network
(Now I'm still waiting to see the 2nd Season, but FUNimation has already announced a firm release date of August for the first DVD of the GENEON USA release...)
FAVOURITE THREADS EXPLAIN why, or risk an infraction.Rantings of a Grouchy Old Anime Otaku
Hell ****ing yes! Hopefully they'll do the current story in the manga.
Black lagoon was alright. I guess I'll dl the next season for a sense of closure at the very least.
I make black history everyday. I don't need a month
Yes! I was hoping that they would go for the third season! Now i can die a happy man.
Only thing is, will it be out before then? How long would you say, in your own opinion, would it take them to get a rough estimate for the release date?
yay...now i have something to look forward to... its only 10 months late...
Don't Panic
This sounds awesome. I wanna see more nuns with guns and whatnot. The first and second seasons were freaking cool. I wonder what the third season has stored for us fans, i hope more nuns with guns ^^

The 2012 Community Revitalization Awards received ten nominations with three (3) non-residential and five (5) residences receiving recognition.
2012 was the eighteenth (18) year for the program, and in that time over 184 properties have been recognized for their investment in their property, and the community as a whole.

Richardson Today Articles on Previous Award Winners
2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003
Non-Residential Award Recipients
With over 600 stores in operation, QuikTrip opened its first store in Richardson in 2012. Acquiring the entirety of the northeast corner of Inge and Belt Line Roads, QuikTrip replaced a dilapidated, vacant, automotive brake facility and two outdated multi-tenant retail buildings with extensive new landscaping along three streets and the development of their 3rd Generation store design.
Jack In The Box
Replacing a portion of an aging multi-tenant retail center and the location of a previously demolished restaurant, Jack in the Box developed their latest restaurant concept. Featuring a modern building design with decorative wall fixtures, and lighted canopies, this development has helped to reenergize the Northrich shopping corridor.
Govindji's Jewelry
Expanding from a small 2,000 space in 1985, Govindji's Jewelry embarked on a significant remodeling program for their existing flagship store along Central Expressway. Occupying the entirety of a two-story, 12,000 square foot retail building, the former brick and concrete building has been replaced with a classical building design featuring a cast stone and brushed metal façade with a large arched entryway, large fabric panel awnings, and up-lighting within the sidewalks. This has certainly raised the bar for redevelopment along Central Expressway.
Residential Award Recipients
Swanson Residence
With the assistance of Fairview Custom Home builders, the Swanson family's remodel of this Canyon Creek home is highlighted by the addition of an expanded second story with a standing seam metal roof, a projecting arched front porch with decorative columns and trim, rebuilt stone retaining walls with brick sidewalk pavers and extensive new landscaping.
Wallace Residence
The conversion of this Canyon Creek ranch-style home to craftsman-style was completed in early 2012. Highlights of the remodel include a prominent front entryway that features duel tapered columns and a pronounced roofline, wide overhanging eaves with decorative bracketing, an addition of a second story with new windows, and extensive new landscaping.
Kirk Residence
Designed by Fairview Custom Homes, the construction of this new Canyon Creek home features a brick and stone façade with stained cedar shutters, decorative bracketing, an arched recessed front door, and new landscaping that maintained the mature trees.
Guinn Residence
Remodeled by 3rd Street Custom Home Builders, then subsequently purchased by the Guinn Family, this redesigned craftsman-style inspired home features a prominent covered front porch highlighted with tapered columns, a low-pitched roof line with decorative bracketing, clear-story windows, and new landscaping.
Kazmann Residence
In a collaborative effort between Vicosa Architects and Deitrichson Fine Custom Homes, the redevelopment of this home-site features a stone façade with arched windows, a prominent, recessed front entryway with decorative cedar bracketing, Spanish tile shingles, and a wrought iron Juliette style balcony flanked by natural gas lanterns.

Apple Orchard & Pumpkin Patch: Any Farm Visits This Fall? The fall is perhaps the one time of year we get ourselves out to a farm. Autumn is prime time for farms, what with all the apple-picking, pumpkin patch, and corn maze fun to be had. Did you go and visit a farm this fall? If so, where did you go?
Pumpkins, Persimmons, & Pomegranates (& Costumes!) Joshua Tree, California On Saturday mornings, nestled into the foothills of the Mojave desert, the Joshua Tree farmers' market welcomes everyone from free-spirited locals to military base families, park rangers, and tourists. We paid a visit to the market last Saturday, picked up some gorgeous persimmons, pomegranates, and other fall gems, and soaked up the friendly, community-oriented vibe.
Chestnuts, Pumpkins, and Wild Mushrooms At San Rafael Farmer's Market It was a beautiful day at the San Rafael Farmer's Market last Sunday. Some late summer produce was still around, such as squash blossoms, berries, tomatoes, and peppers, but it's fading fast. Coming in quickly were the fall items such as walnuts, pumpkins, and fresh olives.
A Purple Theme at the San Rafael Farmer's Market Last weekend at the San Rafael Farmer's Market, one color stood out: purple! From grapes to carrots to cauliflower, I saw this regal color everywhere. Not that I'm complaining; it is one of my favorite hues! It was just so interesting to see it in places I didn't expect to. After the link are relevant recipes for the items photographed.
Irresistible! Mini Pumpkins Hollywood, California We've always gone for the bigger, more impressive pumpkins at the Hollywood farmers' market, but this year we're utterly charmed by all the minis on sale throughout the market. Perhaps it's because we realized we can actually eat mini pumpkins, not just decorate with them...
Midwest Harvest at the Farmers' Market Dane County, Wisconsin We spent a chilly morning at the Dane County Farmers' Market in Madison, Wis., this past Saturday and despite a few early snow flurries, harvest season was still in full swing.
Fall Squash for Baking, Roasting, and Puréeing New York City Farmers' Market Report We can't compete with Emily's photographs from the Hollywood Farmers' Market (we'll blame East Coast weather and inferior camera skills), but we do have a lot of beautiful Fall produce here in New York. We're most excited about pumpkins and squash. Have you cooked any yet? We've got recipes to get you going...
October Colors at the Farmers' Market Hollywood, California In celebration of Apartment Therapy's color contest and our own colorful month here at The Kitchn, we thought we'd highlight some the most spectacular hues seen at the Hollywood farmers' market this past weekend.
Grapes Galore! Hollywood, California We're seeing so many varieties of grapes at the Hollywood farmers' market right now, from Burhart Farms' crisp Autumn Royals to the tiny, intensely-flavored Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown by Mill Road Orchard. Whether you're here in Los Angeles or not, check out some of our cooking suggestions and let us know how you're enjoying grapes this season.
Coveting: Eucalyptus Garden Harvest Bowl Earlier this year I discovered and feel madly in love with John Talbot's woodwork. Talbot's shtick is simple: he takes salvaged Los Angeles trees and turns them into usable works of art for the kitchen. He also writes a beautiful note in his weekly-ish email with a poetic thought and recently this one caught my eye as I think about harvest time and going back inside.

text: This delightfully accessible yet intellectually rigorous book transcends traditional boundaries between neuroscience, psychology and philosophy, to tackle the riddle of the unconscious mind. Freud bashing is a popular intellectual pastime these days (I myself have been guilty on occasion) but Mlodinow shows that by emphasizing the unconscious he was on the right track: we are completely unaware of the vast majority of events going on inside our brains. The book presents compelling evidence gleaned from a variety of sources to show that much of our behavior is governed not so much by our conscious mind – which is prone to claim credit – but by a cauldron of motives, drives and unconscious propensities of which we are largely oblivious. Indeed, most of our actions are carried out by the unconscious mind (or minds ) which exists in peaceful harmony with the conscious person "inside" your body. The question of why we are conscious of the tip of the iceberg of neural activity continues to remain elusive but, perhaps, the answer can be found by asking what you can do without being conscious; What's the IQ of the unconscious mind? Here Mlodinow offers dazzling new insights into what the unconscious can and does do, to influence our lives.

Poor Justin! The superstar not only lost his personal belongings, but now the vandals are threatening to release his personal videos if he doesn't give in to their demands. Only HollywoodLife.com has the shocking EXCLUSIVE details!
Justin Bieber was robbed on October 9, when a thief stole his laptop and camera while he was performing a show. Now, he's been dealt a second, even nastier blow: the criminals have revealed that they will release some of the private content if he doesn't comply with their demands! Can you believe it?
Justin, 18, is being blackmailed by @gexwy, HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY from sources close to the situation. If Justin and his camp don't meet the demands by tomorrow at noon, shocking content will be released.
@gexwy made the demand public on Twitter.
"@justinbieber i got your stupid dms. i dont think so. gonna show the world. TOMORROW!" the account wrote on October 11.
Justin fired back on October 11, writing, "@gexwy no matter what you have and what you post tomorrow i know my fans wont leave me. screw it. #toostrong."
Yet @gexwy seemed undaunted, writing, "@justinbieber haha. that is what u think. we will see tomorrow at NOON. last chance."
The day before, @gexwy spelled out their demands.
"notice us and answer your dms or we are going to put the other videos from the camera out!" the account threatened.
To prove their case, the group posted a few videos from the computer to YouTube — one of which is posted below.
We're sure there was some sort of threat or demand for money involved in said direct messages. Poor Justin!
HollywoodLife.com has reached out to Justin's team for comment on the matter.
Do YOU think embarrassing private footage from Justin's camera will be released, HollywoodLifers?

Beliebers have NOT been punked at all and obviously we still love Justin!
Its was all about the insensitive selfish media – they will destroy a good reputation just for a day's sensational story – the ones that tortured Justin last year over the Mariah Yeater scandal – he wrote in his book how painful that was – so today Justin took sweet revenge – the whole world's media has been "OWNED", fooled, humiliated, well and truly screwed – so u better beliebe it, Justin rules!
Dont You Dare Mess with the BIEBs!

Wow, you are an idiot. First of all, it's Bieber*. And you're the one whose a douche. You are rude and not cool. He can do whatever he wants. Clearly he thinks that prank is funny, so why does it affect you? And you're right, Justin isn't Ashton, he is his own person, which is a legend.

Lol! You moron! Can u not see that Mel was making a joke? Are you like 12 or something? Yeah, clearly he thinks he's funny….and clearly some of us think he's an idiotic, childish, douche. Mel is right…he thinks he's funny, but all everyone else sees is a little 12-year-old-looking punk kid being a dumb@$$. Quite far from a "legend"…lol!!

I hope that he has gotten the FBI involved in this matter because this is blackmail, trust me when I say no matter how good of a computer person you are, there are ways to be found, and the person is an idiot if they think that they will not be caught. I know for a FACT that it is very easy to catch these cyber bullies.
Posted at 11:02 PM on October 11, 2012
This seems like a set up between Bieber and whoever "stole" his stuff. I mean, this person is tweeting, and releasing videos from SOMETHING- a phone, laptop, something. Something TRACEABLE I am sure. This person has admitted shamelessly to stealing this stuff, so why isn't the location of this person's laptop/phone being traced? Justin Bieber has money, and money talks. He could easily find out by tracing where this person is, so why isn't he? I mean, the police would/should be trying to trace it back since it's stolen, and he's being "blackmailed". This seems a little too convenient to me. Fake and set up. Publicity stunt. I am standing by this unless there is something released that will really ruin someone else's career/reputation, like his mom or Selena Gomez(She wouldn't want her good reputation ruined). If something like naked pics of Selena, or a sex tape is released, then I'll know it's for real. But I'm sure it's just gonna be a bunch of stuff like the video above-showing him being either funny, cute, sweet, the best possible person alive, or just a prankster. Common sense people, use it.

I think it is someone that works or is a friend of a worker that has done this and they want 15 minute fame,They will go to jail. Very curious you would think they would have had a tighter security ,it was a inside job.Again justin bieber is a huge property,you just don't walk in and take his stuff and walk out. Heads will be rolling as the insurance companies insure this young man.

I plan on moving my peony but would like to divide it up. Why would you divide up besides for more plants or is it like daylilies that quit blooming as good when they get to many fans?
Jill |
Follow-Up Postings:
Dividing a peony is not required to keep the plant blooming. If you are moving a peony that has been in the ground for years the root system may well be too big for you to dig and move without a backhoe. As you dig you can divide as you go to reduce the mass to a manageable size. You will no doubt lose some of the root no matter how careful you are. If your peony is less than five years in the ground moving in one piece should be quite possible. Al |

Aug 10, 2014 1:46 AM by Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Mike Fiers held the Los Angeles Dodgers to three hits in his first big league start in more than a year, and Khris Davis and Carlos Gomez homered to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 4-1 win Saturday night.
Fiers (1-1) struck out five in eight strong innings, filling in for injured veteran Matt Garza. The Dodgers mustered only a solo homer by Adrian Gonzalez into the second deck in right field.
Fiers outdueled former Brewers pitcher Zack Greinke (12-8), who gave up Gomez's homer off the left-field foul pole that made it 3-1 leading off the sixth.
The Dodgers brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth with two outs against Francisco Rodriguez, but the closer got Matt Kemp to ground out for his 35th save.

Chevy HD2500 Problems
I have a 2001 Chevy HD 2500 4 x 4 crew cab with 2800 miles. At 1600 to 2000 RPM the vehicle vibrates, kind of fills like your driving down a bumpy dirt road. The vibration goes away and then comes back at 2600 RPM. The dealer replaced the drive shaft saying there was a silent recall on this item. The new drive shaft did not correct the problem. The dealer and GM customer assistance have said the vehicle is working as designed. My feelings are if the vehicle is working as designed then why did they replace the drive shaft. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this with the New Like A Rock HD 2500 4 x 4 crew cabs? If so how was it corrected.I have the 6.0 eng. with auto trans.
perfogre Posts: 6I have a2001 cc 4x4 8.1 3.73, vibration diagnosed as launch shudder by dealer. He ordered 1 piece driveshaft to replace 2 piece. I wonder if sonafelt has the 1 piece replacement or a new 2 piece driveshaft. If they put the I piece driveshaft in, did the dealer cut the support bracket for the carrier bearing. Has anyone had success with the 1 piece driveshaft replacement?
cspaulding Posts: 159changes my mind about doing a buy back on my 2000 cc, unless more problems. It took 6 months of telling us there was nothing wrong with the engine pinging before we finally hit someone who fixed it...it's worked for about 1000 miles and now seems like it's coming back. They [Chevy] pulled the same stunt with us -- there's nothing wrong, that's how it should be.
Best of luck to you! -
TerryWil Posts: 2Try posting at www.thedieselpage.com They have some knowledgable people there. Some may have had that same problem. I don't think it is launch shutter. Have they checked the motor mounts to make sure they were installed correctly? Anyway... The diesel page is a good start, eventhough you don't have a diesel. Give it a shot! Terry W.
sonafelt Posts: 12Took the vibrating HD 2500 to another dealer. They said they looked at everything and tried to reprogram the transmission. No problem corrected. They claim thats the nature of the vehicle. I did drive a new like truck with 12 miles on it. It to had the same problem at 1600/2000 RPM. as mine does with 3000 miles. Maybe I'll take the Firestone Wilderness tires off and try a different brand of tires. They suggest to run 50 psi front and 80 psi rear. This seams like too much air pressure. I've tried different air pressures and it didn't help. Thanks for the web page, I'll give it a try.
lawton34 Posts: 3I have a silverado,2001,2500HD, and it has a vibration or roughness,not real harsh, at 35 to40 mph. under power or coasting down,but ok at other speeds. Had the tires rebalanced but thats not it. The truck runs fine except for this viberation only at this speed,(peak is at 38mph). Is this normal with this particular truck? Thanks for any info. Bill
sonafelt Posts: 12The truck has developed another vibration in 1st. gear, but in the same RPM range. My speed in O./D is 43 to 55 MPH. Dealer said an engineer will be in town May 23 to discuss the problem. Started BBB arbitration this week. only 3800 miles. I did drive a non 4x4 with same eng.trans/rear gear and No vibration. I think the converter is not locking up right. also drove the GMC version of a like truck, no problem. May-be a bad parts inventory when a few went down the line. I did notice a GM recall on their Web page to replace the converters on ALL Light pick-ups Maybe mine will fall in this catagory. Any other Info Out there?
sonafelt Posts: 12Dealer had Chevy. engineer in yesterday. They are claiming I have whats called truck shudder. They claim I have to have the drive line angle checked and this should solve the problem. I'll take it in next week and see If thats the cure. BBB sent me the info. to start the lemon law process. May-be they should take the Firestones Wilderness tires off and replace with something round.
gumpymac Posts: 4I have a 2001 2500 HD with 6000 v8 4x4 auto trans. long bed ext cab and have a drive line vibration on acelleration going through 5 MPH. no vib. at any other speed. Tried wedging two 5/16 bolts between the center carrier bearing outer race sleeve and the U shaped support to take some of the elasticity out of the rubber cushion. The 5 MPH vib went away but then had a very noticeable vib.at 45 MPH in cruise. I rook the bolts out and took the truck to the dealer who kept it most of the day and said it's just the nature of the HD truck. I haul a 2400 lb slide in camper and the vib. is worse with this weight on board. I have 4.10 axles and am adveraging 10 MPG otherwise a great truck. Love the cold air and many other great features.
sonafelt Posts: 12I think your problem is what GM calls lunch shudder. They replaced my 2 piece drive shaft with a solid 1 piece. This was to cure the launch shudder as noted in a GM service Bull. GM thinks my problem is a out of line drive shaft they just replaced. I'll know more next week. I get 13 MPG in town with 4.10 gears, 14.5 on HWY. And yes the vib gets worst with a load. We'll se.
mlempire Posts: 34I have @ 5100 miles on a 2001 2500hd ex cab LT..it has pooped a battery,vehicle control module,power train control module, 2 crank sensors, 1 cam sensor, it has taken the local dealer several tries to fix these problems.. think it is a bad sign of things to come.. is it lemon law time>???
sonafelt Posts: 12You have to have the same problem 3 times with no fix or multiple continued problems. I used the BBB auto section. They took a month to respond, but sent me all the details on the lemon law and will assist me with my claim when I file it. You can get them on-line. Search for BBB then click on automotive.
mychevy2 Posts: 5I have a new 2500HD with the 8.1L and Allison Trans and I am concerned about the oil consumpsion that the engine is using. At 3k miles the check engine oil level indicator came on the message center. The oil level was down 1 quart. I had the dealer check for leaks and change the oil to make sure the level was full. Now at 6k miles I had the dealer check the level and change the oil again. This time the oil level was down 2 quarts. They say this is a normal consumption rate. Spec is 1 quart in 1k miles per Chevy. Is anyone else using oil at this rate? I have own several Chevy trucks and none of the used oil. At this rate of consumption I won't ever have to change the oil, but just keep adding it.
sonafelt Posts: 12Just got my HD 2500 back from the dealer ref. vibrations at 1600/2000 rpm. They put a 1/4" shim between the trany and cross member, and about 1/8" shims' between rear axle and springs. I guess this put the drive shaft at a different angle and took the vibration away. Now if I can just get those Firestone Wilderness AT's changed.
cspaulding Posts: 159even the dealer wouldn't change them before we picked up the truck...talk about crappy tires! I'd take the Firestones anyday, better yet go back to the good ol' Goodyears that they used to put on. Our Generals not only almost got us stuck on a fire lane in the middle of nowhere because it was "a little sandy", but after 18000 miles we're looking at having to put new tires on.

2500hd Posts: 11Getting ready to purchase a new 2500hd and am trying to decide which engine to get. I planning on buying a slide in camper in the future and will be towing a 2500lb boat . My truck will be used mainly for pleasure and occasionally driven to work ( once a month) . I am wondering if the 8.1 will get the same mpg as the 6.0 loaded . And how can I increase the gas mileage in the 8.1 if I decide on it ? If I add a K&N filter , flow master exhaust system use synthetic oil , and a helix combustion chamber what kind of gas mileage increase am i looking at? The 8.1 stock is supposed to 12 miles per gallon and the 6.0 14 .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

whatsachevy Posts: 136I have a '01 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 EC 6.0/4.10 Automatic. The truck has 2600 miles on it and I have not had a single problem with this truck except for a small rattle in the driver's front door (hey, its a 3/4 ton truck - I expect some rattles). The 6.0 has plenty of power for pulling. I have not had any hesitation problems (for a fact, this truck is very fast - like a sports car in a truck body). I have averaged 13.5 mpg (as high as 14.9 on the highway at 75-82 mph). So far, and I'm an old Ford guy, this truck is awesome!
For Scott - how many miles do you have on your truck and when did you start having problems? What kind of oil are you using? -
cspaulding Posts: 159Maybe you want to look at the 8.1 with 3.73s? Find one to test drive first. The 6.0 is only available with 4.10s (we've been told, but have seen some with 3.73s?), should save you some on the gas mileage. Our 2000 454 w/ 373s is getting a constant 14 mpg. loaded or empty or pulling, even with your foot into it, it doesn't make a difference...only time it drops off is on my 2 mile trip into town to work, during the week I end up getting around 12. I would suggest trying the 3.73s to see the power difference and if you would be happy with it. Lots of luck.
Ryanbab, my husband used to be like you...when he was younger, just wait...someday that extra 2 mpg may make a difference to you!

dgeddes Posts: 10This is for Scottnlisa..I too have the 6.0 with the lower end knock,,13,000 miles. Had the top end cleaner done , no help. Do you know if there is a tab for new pistons, or is the dealer doing this before it comes out?? How many miles do you have, and have you had previous work for the same problem. I'm trying to build a case for future reference... Thanks Dgeddes

The rest depends on state law but generally are distributed to the recipient. Of course it that person is under age or in legal trouble they may not be eligible to receive in their own name. |
My mother had a number of CDs that had POD on them. We were able to cash them in within a very short period of time. You had to have the death certificate, but the money was available within a week or 10 days after the death, if I recall correctly. The POD certificates are NOT considered part of the estate, so don't go through probate. If you're the executor, you'll just give each recipient their CD and a copy of the death certificate. Then each will go to the bank, and will be able--after supplying appropriate ID and signing the necessary tax documents--to cash the certificates themselves. As my mother's executrix, I did go to the bank with each of my siblings, just to make sure everything went smoothely for them (it was the same bank I used, where I knew everyone), but my presence really wasn't necessary. I'm sorry for your loss--I know at this time, you end up having a lot of questions, and wondering where to get answers. I think with the CD's, I went to the bank, first, and asked all the questions, so I knew what to tell my siblings--but honestly, a lot of that time is a bit of a blur to me. But you get through it, I promise |
Just to clarify - although POD accounts are not part of the probate process, they ARE counted as part of the estate, for estate tax purposes. Under no circumstances should the executrix/trustee 'not count' POD accounts; that would be a breach of fiduciary duty. A final tax return for the estate must be filed within 18 months of the deceased's DOD. |

I read the posts regarding budgets that are dependent upon amounts of money available fom the bank, and the accompanying concerns and worry involved in trying to cut costs. Over the past few years, I have become more convinced of the adage, "cash is king". But I wonder if anyone has really seen a substantial difference in price in materials or labor from paying from their own savings as opposed to using a bank. Do contractors or subs take advantage of clients with no bank supervision? Just curious. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know if the process is different in the US, but the banks here won't pay until the work is done. So the builder has to have the finances to cover the work before the bank comes in. If they aren't paying cash, then they probably have an ongoing relationship with the sub. It's probably about the same whether you pay cash, or are guaranteed to be bringing more work. Of all the quotes I've gotten so far (as an owner-builder), nobody has asked me how I'd be paying before giving me a price. |
Our experience was the same. We paid for a number of things out of pocket and no one ever asked how we would be paying before giving us a quote. |
We did owner/builder last year and paid all the contractors in cash as well as most of the materials. The contractors always gave me discounts but I didn't bother asking for discounts on materials as the prices were very good already. Probably ended up being a 3-4% discount from the contractors. I usually asked the contractors every week or so if they needed a draw and they would figure up the bill for work and I would offer a rounded off figure. When I say cash I mean $100.00 dollar bills right then..always got receipts and knew all my subs for a long time and never an issue. I should add that all phases of the construction were bid and the draws just went off their original bid plus changes. I have been involved with these subs in several large residential developments and there was a lot of trust between all parties and my build went very smoothly. |

It is rare that anyone can pay cash for a house and I can't think of a reason a contractor would care where the money came from unless he might feel more secure with a bank involved. The suggestion that cash is king is ignores the fact that the contractor doesn't know when the cash runs out. If you are acting as the GC subs will definitely take advantage of you a bank might be of some help. |
This post was edited by Renovator8 on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 20:45
As an owner-builder, if we weren't able to get a significant start on the house without the draw mortgage, we were going to be required to submit very detailed quotes for EVERYTHING. So I suspect if there was a sub ripping us off, the bank would have said something. "Um, no. It doesn't cost $115k for stairs." :) But, spending this kind of money directly out of our own pockets, we're being just as careful. We're getting multiple quotes, and have an experienced project manager for sanity checks. |
We're also in a position to do an all-cash build, and I'd like to hear any possible advice on how to manage this well. We can afford to build what we want -- and, indeed, we are choosing to build much more modestly than most people on this board -- but we want to be sure we get value for every dollar. |
Thank you all for your replies. From modest homes to high end mansions, I am acquainted with several couples our age who have paid off their mortgages and sold their city houses in a good market, enabling them to build their retirement houses without debt. We are following suit. There has been a subtle difference in the process this time. Just wanted to see what experiences other GW homeowners/builders may have to share about their own process. Amberm- I find the Canadian process very interesting, in a variety of ways. In a way, all the red tape really allows time to mentally connect all the dots on your bid negotiatons, as frustrating as it is. Can just imagine how happy you will be when that lot really becomes your homestead. |
We just recently started on our owner built house. We are building without a mortgage, so there will be no bank oversight. We won't need very many contractors, mostly just an excavator, someone to finish the concrete slab, and some checking of our work by an electrician, so my experience is somewhat limited, but we are getting a significant discount on our excavation work by paying in cash. And i mean literal handing over of stacks of $100 bills, with no paper trail. Other people in my area have had the same experience of getting a discount for paying with cash. Contractors in general won't bring it up, but for anyone who has the cash available and some basic trust of their contractors, I would highly encourage casually asking if the contractor has a "cash price" for their labor. Paying cash won't help as much with materials, but paying for them yourself and supplying them to contractors can save you on mark ups. Some contractors will take advantage of people, just like any other profession. Being knowledgeable about the work you are hiring them to do and getting multiple quotes i think will help prevent this more than the threat of a bank. Hire people referred by people you know. Have a basic idea of how much the work should cost. Be respectful. A bank won't help you with any of that. |
My contractor was up-front about marking up materials, and had no problem with me buying my own. He even was able to recommend the best sources for the various materials. I think this is rare, though. We're doing a cash build, with me doing about 90% of the work myself. Most subs I've used have been happy to knock off a little for cash payment, and it definitely gets fast service. |
Have signed contract yet, but the selected GC gets pissed off whenever I mentioned hire my own subs. I was even offer paying him to reasonable $ to supervise those subs works, and he has not responded yet. I may drop him and find other GC. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 11:00
houses that is because you don't want him to be the GC, you want the benefit of a GC when it suits you and you be the GC when it does not. Does not work that way, either you hire a GC or you self GC. |
No. It was not that. At first, I let him does all the quotes, but later found out that some of his subs were not honest. And I told him way upfront if I could in case, he was ok. Until now, time to sign contract, he twisted his words. |
Hello houses14- nice to see you here. Most GCs want to use their own crews because they are familiar with their quality of work and pricing structure. As millworkman said, most GCs are going to look at a project as an all or nothing affair. Our GC allowed us to pick our own crews for several important aspects of our new home, and ironically those aspects were a few of the items that came in exactly on bid. We put on a Decra roof for example. Our GC had no one who had done Decra before in his resource pool, so we vetted and hired a company from a nearby city. We did the same with our stamped concrete because the GC did not have anyone he could recommend. Our GC told us long ago that any cost savings we managed would be dependent on how much I liked to shop. I didn't exactly know what he meant then, but I do now. We have sourced things our crews said were impossible to find, and things that were much more inexpensive than what we were first told. So, each GC will have a slightly different approach. I encourage you to find someone with whom you feel comfortable. |
- Posted by Bungalow14 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 11:40
We found the opposite to be true. Our builder preferred self-financing to us coming in with a construction loan. We made five payments at specific points along the way, and paid cash for change orders and upgrades (typical 50% at agreement, 50% at install). It worked out to everyone's advantage. |
Musicgal, This GC had built three homes recently from New York, Washington D.C., and New Jersey's owners. Therefore, they could have thought he is "cheap". I saw one of these owner has MDS moldings and trims in $800k in 3500SF , not even high end home, because this GC "talked" him into it to "save" $. To me, that is unacceptable. I think the GC may have pocket $150K at the least. |
Bungalow14, Could you share the percentage each time and stage that you pay? |
- Posted by jenniekehr (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 12:13
we are having to get an engineered retaining wall, quoted at $13,600, when we offered to pay cash the company came down to 11k. That is a great savings. We also are getting a discount from the masons and drywallers for paying cash and will likely save 5-6k between them. I am in South Carolina. |
jenniekehr, Your GC provides you the real invoices after work done? and you negotiate then or before? I am in Hickory, NC Thank you |
Does the cash price also reflect the fact that you're no longer getting a warranty? What about taxes? |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 13:00
That is the elephant in the room amberm. No one speaks of what happens when the cash goes down south and there is "no paperwork trail"! I have seen this happen the subs tend to get amnesia!! |
musicgal, our builder has never asked where the $ is coming from. (OT sorry) houses14, if you don't trust that GC, don't work with him. Better to make the change now than in the middle of construction. |
You could still do cash and have a contract and paperwork. Maybe a 2-3% discount because the contractor doesn't have to wait a month (or 3) to get his money, or doesn't have to pay credit card company that fee. But if you're getting a 20% discount because it's all under the table, that would make me very nervous. Especially on something like an engineered wall, or masonry. But maybe the $13k price is also without warranty? |
- Posted by jenniekehr (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 14:21
No we are getting a warranty and invoices, but the checks or cash are made out to him and not his landscaping business. I am not sure about taxes, but honestly it is up to him and not me. I have had the GC negociate the discounts for me so far, except for the brick supplier. Him I called and asked if I could pay by credit card, and he gave me 1.5% off to pay by check instead. |
In our neighborhood construction projects are mostly cash. The best builders provide detailed accounting of how every cent is spent. Every month at billing time I receive the following: - a summary of the month's expenses Every time he needs to contract a new trade, I get an email showing bids from a few subs bidding the the scope of work, with an explanation of the bid price from each & the pros/cons of working with each. Our project has a schedule so typically the explanation includes whether or not that sub has the ability to meet our schedule. There has been 110% transparency so far. The markup is expensive, but this is the most amazing way to work with a builder. Since we agreed with the builder on his fee at the signing of the contract and it applies uniformly across everything he does, there is nothing but transparency beyond that and neither of us feels like we're trying to screw the other. I have learned some truths with this process, boiling down to: - you have to trust the people you work with and they have to trust you I'm sure I'll add a few more items to this list by the time we're done! |
Caben, Thanks for sharing! My issue is GC was keep saying he is 100% honest, not mark-up anything. I would rather he tells me the truth. That way, I could see who among his subs will be selected. |
- Posted by farmhousegirl (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 18:38
Musicgal...Don't forget you will also save the interest you would pay on a construction mortgage while carrying that loan during the build. At 5-6%, that is thousands of dollars...So, something to consider even if you don't get a better price. |
- Posted by Bungalow14 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 9:21
houses14, the following was part of our LoI and residential build contract: Initial deposit of $7,500 paid with LOI execution None of this is based on a % of the total cost of the home; they are numbers that my builder uses for all of his self-financed builds. We found this arrangement to be VERY favorable. |
Much appreciate for your sharing Bungalow14! What about draws for each finished stage, what percentage will be? I have a fixed contract GC, who was asked too much upfront. Therefore, I dropped him because no bank involved. |
- Posted by Bungalow14 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 11:38
I'm not sure what your question about draws is. We didn't have a construction loan. We made the five payments as I've detailed, and at closing that money was treated as a down payment (and we made an additional down payment) and our loan was for the contract price less those monies. Couldn't have been easier or more straightforward. |
Farmhousegirl- Yes, there is nothing like the feeling of being debt free:) in this life, there are plenty of other bills to pay- but paying the bank more interest on a construction loan than they are paying on my savings account... well, just doesn't appeal to me:-) A friend told me my contractor said we kept their subs from defaulting on their own mortgages last year. The end to the recession crept slowly up the freeway to our little burg. It is full speed ahead now around here, and I love the vitality of the area. |

Millions of Americans lack health care and millions more struggle to afford it. Politicians claim they care, then pass legislation that just sends more cash to the HMOs. Wages have been stagnant for thirty years, even as corporate profits skyrocket. Politicians say they want to fix the problem and then pass bills written by lobbyists that drive wages even lower and punish those crushed by debt. Jobs are being shipped overseas, pensions are being cut, and energy is becoming unaffordable. And our government, more concerned about maintaining its corporate sponsorship than protecting its citizens, does nothing about it.
In Hostile Takeover, David Sirota, a major new voice in American politics, seeks to open the eyes of ordinary Americans to the fact that corporate interests have undermined democracy, aided and abetted by their lackeys in our allegedly representative government. At a time when more and more of America's major political leaders are being indicted or investigated for corruption, Sirota takes readers on a journey that shows how all of this nefarious behavior happened right under our noses—and how the high-profile scandals are merely one product of a political system and debate wholly owned by Big Money interests. Sirota considers major public issues that feel intractable—like spiraling health care costs, the outsourcing of jobs, the inequities of the tax code, and out-of-control energy prices—and shows how in each case workable solutions are buried under the lies of lobbyists, the influence of campaign cash, and the ubiquitous spin machine financed by Big Business.
With fiery passion, pinpoint wit, and lucid analysis, Hostile Takeover reveals the true enemies of reform and their increasingly sophisticated—and hostile—tactics. It's an essential guidebook for those of us tired of the government selling us out—and determined to take our country back.

I am new to sheet cakes. shock horror!
Here is my situation: I am making a board game cake to serve 50 people. the decorating is fine, JUST the baking for me is an issue.
I have quite a small oven. The tray that slots in is 34x41cm (13.4"x16.1")
I am thinking of using this martha stewart vanilla cake :
I guess I would triple it?
I am actually quite lost, the baking is always the bit I find tedious! deciding on a recipe, buying ingredients, budgeting ingredients, baking, trying to make sure nothing goes wrong etc....
I only have round tins, or the roasting trays that slot in which are only about 1.5-2" deep. I could get inventive with building up the sides etc, but what I am wondering is if it is a huge problem for the tray to be slotted in, so pretty much touching the sides of the oven? Or does it not matter too much?
If anyone could help me with a recipe, or what pan size, or baking tips, or how to keep my costs down, ANYTHING!!!!
When it comes to squares and rectangles I suddenly freak out, circles are much better!!!

The California man found guilty of bribing a former U.S. congressman could be released from jail while he fights his conviction.
Last November a jury found Brent Wilkes guilty of 13 felony counts related to a scheme in which he gave more than $600,000 in cash and gifts to former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., in exchange for business contracts with the federal government worth millions.
Late last week, a federal appeals court ordered Wilkes released during his appeal, if he meets conditions to be set by a lower court. Wilkes had been free during his trial because he posted $2 million bail. His appeal will be handled by a public defender because he says he can't afford an attorney.
Wilkes has been in prison since last month, when a federal judge sentenced him to 12 years. The other man prosecutors have accused of bribing Cunningham with cash and gifts, Mitchell Wade, is cooperating with the investigation and has not seen the inside of a jail cell.
Last month, Cunningham marked the second anniversary of his incarceration; a judge sentenced him to eight years and four months in March 2006.
Wilkes isn't the only one unhappy with his sentence. Prosecutors had asked for Wilkes to get as many as 25 years behind bars, and have signaled they may challenge his sentence.

Just had Leone, DIL, DIL's mother, Gdaughter, G daughter IL, 3 great g daughters from 6 mos to 4. They were here for about 4 hours. A little outnumbered by gender but who cares. Held the baby until she needed feeding. got to play with the 2 and 4 year olds. We had a lot of games I confess I had no idea what we were doing but it was hilarious. Had to have g daughter help me get up from the floor but would have played with them all day if they had stayed. And, hard to believe. One of the twin granddaughters is running for county commisioner in Seward county NE. Seems like just a few weeks ago I was going to her school plays and basketball games. She and her husband have taken in 3 foster kids from a dysfunctional family in Omaha. Mother in prison, father a druggie. Now they are thinking of trying to get the court to let them adopt them. Mother burned one of the boys with cigarettes on his neck and hands. Haven't seen the kids yet in person but DIL tells us they are surprisingly easy to care for. I guess grateful for some stability. 2 boys 2 and 7, girl 4. I pray that it works out for these kids and the family. |

I agree, it is so much fun playing with kids and they do enjoy being silly. And I doubt that any of them noticed the gender difference. Lol, I also need help to get up from the floor after playing with GS, age 7, and there are plenty of arms to help me get up. Good for you to get down with the kids. |
- Posted by anneliese_32 6 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 22, 14 at 9:48
Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I don't have any little ones in the family, the youngest is 15 and she was 7 when she became a family member. It's been a long time that I played wiggle worm for the kids. |
I think it's wonderful and brave, what your GD and her husband are doing. This world will be a better place for their kind and loving efforts. Karen |
What a wonderful thing your granddaughter and her husband are doing. I'm glad you had a chance to play with the little ones, I once sat on the floor to take my granddaughter's hem. Even with her help it was hard getting up. |

Domestic orders placed Monday - Friday by 6 p.m. Eastern Time will be packed and shipped the same day, pending verification of billing information and the shipping method selected. International orders and orders containing gift cards, out-of-stock items or refrigerated items will be processed as quickly as possible, but won't necessarily be shipped out the same day.

Drinking soda may raise the risk of suffering a stroke, especially for women, says a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The report combined the results of two studies that included more than 125,000 people.
Strokes generally fall into two categories: ischemic stroke, which is characterized by a blockage of an artery supplying the brain, or hemorrhagic stroke, in which a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Ischemic strokes account for about 87% of all strokes.
Women and men who were enrolled in the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow Up Study answered questions about their soda consumption. They also provided information about consumption of other beverages, including orange juice, milk, tea, and coffee. The studies lasted for 28 and 22 years, respectively, and the number and type of strokes that occurred were recorded.
Here's what the studies found:
"In sugar-sweetened sodas, the sugar load may lead to rapid increases in blood glucose and insulin, which over time lead to glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and inflammation," said lead study author, Adam Bernstein of the Cleveland Clinic and the Harvard School of Public Health. "These physiologic changes in turn influence atherosclerosis, plaque stability, and thrombosis--a risk factor for ischemic stroke."
Bernstein says that the caramel coloring in many sugar-sweetened and low-calorie sodas can cause inflammation and damage blood vessels, which in turn can lead to artery disease and increase the risk of stroke.
Several substances in coffee, including chlorogenic acid, lignans, and magnesium act as antioxidants and blood sugar regulators that may help reduce stroke risk.
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in many industrialized countries. The risk of stroke increases with age. Men are more likely than women to have a stroke, and African American people are at greater risk than white people. While you can't do much about your gender or heritage, many stroke risk factors are in your control:

Marie Kraus is a creative and original tattoo artist whose pieces are extremely memorable. Given that tattoos are permanent, it's extremely important that you are in love with the work you choose. The work must set you apart from every other person with a tattoo, and Kraus masterfully accomplishes both of these requirements.
Marie Kraus's tattoos are defined by her use of geometric planes that look like they cut up the larger picture. These planes are accentuated by black strokes which create an overall jewel-like or digitalized effect. Her designs are colorful and often include mythical influences, like one collarbone tattoo that incorporates elements of Alice in Wonderland.
Kraus works at a tattoo shop called Our Future Tattoo which is located in Brno, Czech Republic. She also is a distinguished painter.
