Carl Edwards off to fast start at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Carl Edwards will start the 2012 season in the spot where he needed to finish the last race in 2011 -- No. 1.
Edwards won the pole for the Daytona 500 (194.738 mph) on a gusty Sunday afternoon, taking advantage of an early slot in the qualifying line before the temperature heated up and the wind kicked up.
Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle will join Edwards on the front row, the only spots set for the 500 in the unique qualifying format.
"These are the best race cars we're ever had a Daytona," Edwards said. "Coming down here, I didn't even consider the pole a possibility. This is huge."
If only he had finished last season this way, things would be so different.
Edwards finished second to Tony Stewart in the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Stewart won the Cup title and Edwards fell one point short. He tied Stewart in the standings, but Stewart won the crown by winning more races -- 5-1.
That was then and this is now. Edwards will take the green flag from P1 next Sunday. So how satisfying is it to start 2012 in the No. 1 spot after falling one point short of the 2011 title?
"I think I've been asked that one-point question 4,000 times," Edwards said. "But we didn't let that disappointment slow us down. It gave us real motivation.
"So it is nice to come here and show everyone that it isn't just talk. Everybody at Roush went back to work and kept their heads down."
The pole is a nice little prize for the No. 99 Ford team, but it means almost nothing as far as chances of winning the 500. The last pole winner to go to Victory Lane in this race was Dale Jarrett 12 years ago.
How a car races in a large pack, something you'll see a lot of again next weekend, is completely different to how it races all alone on the 2.5-mile tri-oval.
However, Edwards had a strong car here one year ago, pushing Trevor Bayne to victory in the tandem-style racing.
That won't happen this time with the new rules package. Whoever is pushing at the end is going to stop pushing and try to get by the leader, as Kyle Busch did successfully against Stewart in the Bud Shootout on Saturday night.
Whatever happens next Sunday, it will be 100 times more exciting than the sleep-inducing 2½ hours of pole day. Must-see TV it isn't.
One car at a time, flat out at 190-plus mph, which looks like 19-mph on the massive Daytona track.
But it's pretty darn exciting for the two guys who get front-row bragging rights, along with the three drivers who earned a spot in the field on speed -- Tony Raines, David Stremme and Bayne.
"Now I won't lose any sleep the next couple of nights," Bayne said. "We're in the race. That's the first mission accomplished."
Only seven of the 43 spots are up for grabs in the 500. The top 35 cars in owner points from last season have a free ride in the show. That includes Danica Patrick, thanks to points swapping rules that NASCAR tolerates.
Terry Labonte has a guaranteed spot as the most recent former Cup champion not already qualified -- if you can call 16 years ago recent.
"Now I won't lose any sleep the next couple of nights. We're in the race. That's the first mission accomplished.
" -- Trevor Bayne on locking up a spot
in the Daytona 500
Three of the 13 other drivers not in the show made it in on pole day based on speed. The four remaining spots are decided in the two qualifying races on Thursday.
That's right. The qualifying races have only four qualifying spots available. Everyone else is just racing for starting position and hoping they don't wreck their car.
That's especially true for Edwards and Biffle. Getting in a wreck Thursday and going to a backup car means giving up the front row and starting in the back for the 500.
"That's one way to look at it,'' Edwards said. "The other way is I know how good our backup car is. Also, I know you can't give these other guys any advantage. If I don't race hard [Thursday] and understand how the track reacts at that time of day, I'm giving those guys something."
Edwards said he will talk to crew chief Bob Osborne to formulate his strategy for Thursday's qualifying race. Osborne wasn't in Daytona on Sunday because of the recent death of his father. Car chief Chip Bolin was on the pit box for Edwards' pole run.
"Bob built this program with steady, calculated moves,'' Bolin said. "We just tried to execute the plan, and here we are."
On the pole for the biggest event of the season.
"This is two poles in a row for us," Edwards said, who won the pole at Homestead in November. "So we picked up where we left off."
If he can pick up one more point in the process this season, maybe Edwards will end up one spot better than last year.

Hi all...
I'm a new member, but a lurker for a while, but I finally have a question I couldn't find an answer to anywhere, so i had to sign up :) I planted 3 mango seeds. I live in winnipeg, canada and I'm not really expecting much from them, as we have -30 to -40C winters. (obviously these are indoor plants). I basically just planted them for fun and to see what would happen. I'm guessing they're all different breeds, but they're all growing VERY differently. One I planted about a month before the others looks a lot like all the mango trees I see in pictures... about 8 inches tall now, lots of long, pointy leaves that are each about 5" long. The second and third I planted at the same time... one is now about 6 inches tall with leaves that are about 8 inches long (they drag in the dirt when they first come out), and the second is about 2 inches tall with leaves about the same (2 inches). Is there typically this much variation in the plants between species? The tiny one was probably the best mango I ever ate (no fibres, with almost a pineappley-mango taste)...thus my desire to plant it... but it seems so odd that it's that much smaller than other ones that were planted at the same time. They are all planted in the same dirt, get the same light and same water/fertilizer. They're all really healthy, and all between 8-10 months old. Has anyone here had a mango plant that small? |

Welcome to GardenWeb and Tropical Fruits! I'm not sure about the mango question. It probably is just the difference in mango. Also, they grow in flushes, maybe the others just have flushed more. -Tropicaliste |
- Posted by anakaleki z9FriendswoodTX (email@example.com) on Sat, Mar 24, 07 at 0:36
I've planted the seeds from grocery store mangoes for fun too and yes, they all turn out to very different. some grew to 3 feet in no time at all while others never made it above a foot before I let it die over winter. Some varieties even sprout two separate trunks from the same seed. |

S. Africa marks 50 years of Mandela's arrest
Published on Aug 4, 2012 5:13 PM
HOWICK, South Africa (AFP) - South Africa will unveil its latest monument to Mr Nelson Mandela on Saturday, a new statue along a rural highway to mark the spot where he was arrested 50 years ago for his struggle against white rule.
Mr Mandela, now 94, was arrested as a young liberation fighter on Aug 5, 1962, near the town of Howick, just months after he founded the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC).
He had recently returned from a trip across Africa drumming up support for the new Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), or "Spear of the Nation".
A modest monument at the site of his arrest was put up in 1996, but it will now be eclipsed by the monumental sculpture made up of 50 steel rods of between 5m and 10m high symbolising the prison.

CASPER, Wyo. — Some 1,100 first-graders braved a chilly May morning to eat lunch on the lawn of the Nicolaysen Art Museum in Casper on Tuesday.
They traded cookies and sipped from milk cartons while perched on grass and curbs. Spurts of cold rain didn't dampen their enthusiasm at being away from the classroom and outside as part of Wyoming Reads, an annual celebration of literacy sponsored by local nonprofit organizations.
Inside the museum, John Jorgensen narrated by memory a play he wrote for his late wife, Sue, whose love of reading inspired him to organize book giveaways for children after she died in a car accident in 1996.
Jorgensen spoke into a microphone as members of the Natrona County High School Theatre Department acted a scene from the fairytale play behind him. He prompted the crowd of 400 first-graders to repeat a magic spell after him.
"Sniggeldy snee, we want to read!" the crowd of 400 first-graders shouted.
"If you can read, you can do absolutely anything," Jorgensen said after the play. Teachers started handing out books as Jorgensen continued.
"Be gentle," Jorgensen said about the books over the excited banter growing from the crowd of kids. "Read them, read them, read them. Share them with your friends and your family."
Jorgensen knew that not every student sitting in front of him Tuesday owns a hardback book, or a book of any kind.
"We get a lot of, 'Can I keep it?' " Jorgensen said between performances Tuesday. "It's got your name on it. It's not your dad's book. It's not your brother's book. It's yours."
The idea to honor his wife's memory started while sitting around a table with friends, he said, and has grown to distribute about 8,000 books to almost every first grader in Wyoming each year. Similar programs have caught on in Oregon and Minnesota, Jorgensen said.
"We never in our wildest dreams imagined it was going to grow to what it is," he said. "It's just an incredible blessing."

2 moves, 3 weeks--you can do it
Need a body-confidence boost? Pick up a pair of dumbbells and let your gaze linger on the outline of your biceps as you lift the weights. That's how they can look all the time if you follow this workout.
These moves firm every inch of your arms while really targeting the backs and outsides to reduce jiggle when you wave. Do three sets of 10 to 12 reps of each, 3 nonconsecutive days a week, and in a few weeks you'll be looking even better in a tank top.
(Works forearms)
A. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Hold a 3- to 5-pound dumbbell in each hand with arms down at sides, palms facing in.
B. Keeping elbows next to body and palms down, raise dumbbells up and out to sides until parallel to floor. Hold, then lower and repeat.

What's being said
The judge made them give their "complete name, date of birth, address and telephone number in open court", no less. Can you imagine being asked to identify yourself in a United States court. The nerve of the judge. Reading the comments of those interviewed in this article it becomes clear that the object of all this complaining is to be able to continue to game the system and delay any real disposition of these cases so that the children will be able to quietly slip away and become another illegal alien who cannot be found.
The only way to put the "coyotes" out of business is to make it plain that when caught these children will be promptly returned to their country of origin so it is a waste of money to pay to get them to the US in the first place.

Top 10 Champions League shocks - 4 - Inter Milan 1 Arsenal 5
Arsenal were once again under serious pressure in Europe, needing to win in their penultimate group game to have any chance of progressing.
They had been beaten 3-0 by Inter at Highbury weeks earlier and headed to the San Siro without captain Patrick Vieira.
Arsene Wenger's team responded with a breathtaking performance inspired by Thierry Henry.
A 5-1 thrashing of the Italian giants was enough to silence their critics once again.

Moving to Network Publishing--Thad McIlroy
December 2000What kind of publishing will serve all of these devices? Adobe calls it network publishing. What is network publishing? According to Adobe: "Making visually rich, personalized content, reliably available any time, anywhere, on any device."
I like it. You can argue that this is just a restatement of something we already know. In a way it is. But we've lacked an overriding conception of the thing, and a term with which to classify it. Network publishing works just fine for me.
If network publishing is the activity in which we'll all be engaged, then, I figure, we're going to need some Network Publishing Service Providers (NPSPs). Why NPSPs? Because as more and more organizations get with the network publishing program, they'll get sick and tired of using three or four different service providers to get their marketing message out to the public.
Using multiple service providers has two great drawbacks. First, it costs extra to manage multiple suppliers. More significantly, it's tough to get a unified message across in a coordinated fashion when a range of suppliers are involved. A single NPSP would have a significant competitive advantage over three or four different services.
So what's involved in transforming a company from printer to NPSP? Clearly the process begins with the full digitization of current processes. If you're still running film to plates, don't even bother.
The second challenge is building a closed-loop manufacturing model. If you still think printing is a craft, you've got the wrong mindset for network publishing.
Your next step is to configure an in-house digital asset management system, if you don't have one already. Add to that someone on staff who understands how databases are built and maintained. This skill is central to network publishing.
Make sure you've got a functional Website. By functional I mean that you can communicate with your existing clients to provide price quotes, accept file submissions and report on job progress.
Next you'll need to hire or partner with another company so that you can offer Web design and hosting facilities. Partnering probably makes more sense—this is a highly specialized area.
Finally, you're going to need to add consulting services. This will have to be on-staff; one or more people who can go out and evangelize network publishing, take orders, establish accounts and keep them happy.
Printers are always saying that their customers keep coming back because of quality, service and pricing. Well, as you know by now, every printer offers good quality, great service and competitive pricing. That's because technology has made good quality achievable for most printers. You've got no choice but to meet competitors' prices. But I think that great service is still a fine art. For all the high-tech, above all, network publishing is a service business. That's a key point. The service skills you've built over the years give you an enviable position as a NPSP.
Better still, consider this: Website design and hosting services have NO INTEREST in print. They think print is at least dying, if not already dead. It's our little secret that while print may not be at its finest hour, it's still a dynamic medium, essential for today's advertisers and marketers. It's not dying any time soon, and we're the only industry that knows how to make it work.
Now if we can just pick up a few other skills, I'd say there's a brilliant future for printers—as Network Publishing Service Providers.

Moffat County Class of 2014 shows its uniqueness with art, gift
Saturday, May 24, 2014
As each group of seniors leave behind the school where they spent their last four years, picking defining details and artwork is an ongoing tradition, and Moffat County High School's Class of 2014 is no different.
Moffat County High School Class of 2014
Colors: Blue and White
Flower: Limestone columbine
Song: "We Run This Town" by Luke Bryan
Motto: "Don't fear tomorrow, Don't regret the past, Live for what is now and Never look back."
Gift: Refurbishment of MCHS outdoor amphitheater
The graduating class selected the school colors of blue and white as their class colors, the limestone columbine as the class flower and the Luke Bryan tune "We Run This Town" as class song.
For their motto, students chose the following anonymous quote: "Don't fear tomorrow, Don't regret the past, Live for what is now and Never look back."
The words are also included on the class backdrop, painted by a team including Tanisha Young, Faith Christiansen, Taylor Dean, Yolibeth Molina and Sitclali Nevarez, showing an aging tree at nightfall juxtaposed with a younger tree in the sunshine, demonstrating the passage of time.
For the parting gift, the class plans to refurbish the outside amphitheater on the east side of the school.

BCLS certification
0Feb 15, '07 by lilnat03Does anyone know where I can take a BCLS certification course in the NYC area?
Thanks! -
0Jun 30, '09 by GoldenserenityQuote from starbinWell, many places will not accept the CPRPro certification. The ones that do are not educated on the fact that you still need to be tested for the skills part of it.go to cprpro.com. everything online, print your certificate.
I have done the CPRPro and had it declined by some companies and when I talked to a CPR instructor I was told they are not acceptable and the company you work for can get in trouble for you not being properly certified.

Match Preview
Green returns for Rams Derby can welcome back Paul Green for the visit of Cardiff. The midfielder missed the Carling Cup defeat at Crewe in midweek as he was playing the full 90 minutes of the Republic of Ireland`s 1-0 defeat to Argentina but should come straight into Nigel Clough`s side. But defender Russell Anderson is set for a month on the sidelines after he injured his groin in the fine 2-1 win at Leeds last weekend. Shaun Barker took his place at Crewe and should keep his place despite scoring the own goal which dumped the Rams out of the competition. Striker Chris Porter's hip problem is not as bad as first feared and he could be fit for Saturday after he was replaced at half-time at Gresty Road. Jake Buxton built up his match fitness with 90 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday while midfielder Stephen Pearson is recovering from knee surgery and is six weeks away from a return. Jay Bothroyd and David Marshall could shake off injuries to be fit for Cardiff. Striker Bothroyd was forced off at half-time in Wednesday`s 4-1 Carling Cup triumph over Barnet but is likely to make the trip to Pride Park. Goalkeeper Marshall withdrew from international duty with Scotland in midweek nursing an elbow problem yet could also be in contention to challenge Tom Heaton for the number one jersey. But the pair are not the only concerns for manager Dave Jones, who will hand late fitness tests to the versatile Darcy Blake and full-back Kevin McNaughton. Should they not make it then new boy Martin John could again be asked to fill in despite a lack of match fitness. Adam Matthews also had to be substituted shortly after half-time against Burton due to injury, while Jason Koumas got 50 minutes under his belt but is still not ready to start from the off. Midfielder Seyi Olofinjana is expected to make Jones` squad after his arrival on loan from Hull.

Match Report
Burke helps City secure Rams raid Chris Burke struck late on as Cardiff recorded their first league win of the season with a 2-1 success at Derby. The Glaswegian turned the ball home from close range with 12 minutes remaining after Peter Whittingham`s cross caused confusion in the Derby defence. Michael Chopra had earlier put last season`s play-off finalists ahead after 15 minutes with a tidy 12-yard finish. The lead lasted just 10 minutes as Tomasz Cywka poked home his first goal in English football to equalise for the Rams. Cardiff had the first chance of the game in the 11th minute. Derby skipper Robbie Savage gave the ball away to Whittingham, who found Chopra on the right. Chopra cut the ball back for Whittingham and his first-time shot from 15 yards was just over the bar. The visitors took the lead four minutes later when Kris Commons was dispossessed by Burke, who picked out Chopra and the striker smartly took his time before beating Stephen Bywater. Derby equalised in the 25th minute. John Brayford's throw into the box was chested down by Luke Varney who hooked the ball over his head. Cywka timed his run perfectly to steer a low shot past David Marshall from eight yards. Cardiff broke swiftly in the 33rd minute with Jay Bothroyd finding Burke, who cut in from the right and saw his shot beaten behind by Bywater. Four minutes before half-time, Commons' corner dropped to the unmarked Cywka but his volley was too close to Marshall. Following that chance, Kevin McNaughton worringly went down and there was a lengthy delay as he was attended to by medics before leaving the field on a stretcher. Daniel Drinkwater shot over the crossbar on the hour mark before Derby responded through Paul Green, whose shot was saved by Marshall. Burke then converted Whittingham`s cross after Bywater and one of his defenders appeared to get in each other's way. Shaun Barker could have rescued a point for the Rams but the ball struck the big defender on the knee as it bobbled around inside the six-yard box.

Very happy with food quality, delivery great, prices cheap. Excellent.
Posted by Yesenia on 07/07/2014
I absolutely love their fried/steamed dumplings. I really recommend it. I always get the fried rice but decided to try the general tso chicken and it was great! I really love the food here!
Posted by Rileyed on 02/27/2014
Dumplings both steamed & fried were soggy. Past being edible. Shrimp Lo Mein? Maybe 4sm shrimp & lo mein was al dente & looked more like linquine from a box. Orange Chicken was listed as a "Hot & Spicy" dish ("we can alter the spicy to your taste"). Was so completely lacking of flavor that I sautee'd my own minced chiles to add to this dish. To add insult to injury, there were huge slices of orange rind in this dish.
Posted by worst customer service ever on 03/06/2013
To start, their delivery minimum changes with each order. Secondly, their customer service over the phone is horrible.The drivers are incompetent , and have poor attitudes. I ordered food there twice becaude it is actually good chinese food; however the service left a bad taste in my mouth, both times.
Posted by sammywhammy on 12/01/2012
They have the best food around. I have to drive kinda far to get it but it's worth it because they are the last of the best left around town.
Posted by Kristi on 10/29/2012
Best Hot and Sour Soup and Roast pork lo-mein ever! And they follow directions ... asked for wet and spicy lo-mein ... I got wet and spicy lo-mein!

Star river has the best chinese food ever. The egg rolls are the best!

"Not my favorite in the series thus far but good"
This one moved a little slowly for me and it didn't feel like much happened until the very end. I'm actually quite intrigued by where the series is headed. The reader of the audiobook is great (as usual). He does a wonderful job portraying Stark's sarcasm and twisted sense of humor.
"Sadly disappointing"
I really liked the first book in the series and was looking forward to this one. I was sadly very disappointed. I found it incredibly boring and had to force myself to keep listening. Even Amanda Ronconi couldn't save it. Normally I enjoy Amanda's narration but I did not like her English accent at all so all the parts with Desmond were terrible. Add to that the fact that the story did nothing for me and it was a huge disappointment all around.
"Read in print instead"
This book (and the previous one in the series) was delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed it but the reader drove me nuts. I listened to the first one on audio and she didn't seem to bother me quite so much then but with this one I just couldn't bear it. I had the speed turned up to 1.5 and it helped somewhat but the whole cadence of her speech was still off. Read it on your e-reader instead. It was very enjoyable that way.
"A series well worth reading"
Let me start off by saying that I loved the first two books in the series. So, I was a little disappointed that this book didn't thrill me as much as the others. It started off very slow for me and I actually got a bit bored with all the details about Troy (but then, I'm not a history buff). This book just had a different feel to it and I missed the feel of the first two. The second half of the book picked up considerably for me (hence 4 stars instead of 3). I don't like some of the choices Ms. Taylor made and given the end am not sure why she made them in the first place. It was all a bit too heart-wrenching for me and then totally shocking come the final chapters. Regardless, I am still looking forward to reading the next book to see where the storyline goes. I adore these characters and the audio narration by Zara Ramm. I hope book 4 comes out in audio sooner rather than later.
Just a note- be sure to read the series in order and don't start from the middle. It really won't do the books justice.
"Phil Gigante is genius in this series"
Not that Kevin Anderson doesn't deserve credit for the excellent material, but Phil Gigante takes it to the next level. It's like he was made to be Dan Shamble and company. This series is one case where I can honestly say I don't think I would enjoy it nearly as much in print.
This installment in the series was particularly funny which is good because the humor is one of the things I love most about these books. It follows pretty much the same pattern as the previous books- Dan (with the help of Sheyenne, Robin and McGoo) works on several cases at once with some of them ultimately being interconnected. Lots of fun new clients. An absolutely delightful listen. Well worth the audible credit!!
"An engrossing police procedural"
I enjoyed this book much more than I expected to. I particularly enjoyed the rapport between Kovac and Liska and their sense of humor (as well as that of several of their fellow cops). It added much needed moments of levity into a rather dark investigation. While this is book 4 in a series, I have not read the other books in the series but did not feel as if I was missing anything. I would say this is a strong standalone book.
It took me a while to get used to the narrator but once I did, I enjoyed him very much. He does a great job with the male voices. This one is definitely worth your time and money or credit.
"Magic, mythology and teenagers"
3-1/2 stars: Think Harry Potter, with magic mixed in, aimed at teenage girls with a female lead character. Not that it wasn't enjoyable because it was. It's just that I could not stop drawing parallels between it and the HP series. The similarities are just too many to bother to mention. Suffice it to say, if you are familiar with HP, you cannot miss them. That said, I liked Gwen. I liked her attitude. I liked her budding friendship with Daphne. I liked the fact that she is not a kick-butt warrior (at least not yet) and has some insecurities but still knows who she is and likes herself (basically). I'm intrigued by the "secrets" Logan can't/won't share. And I like the mythology tossed in. The book is well-suited to the audiobook format as Gwen has a great narrative "voice"-- a bit snarky but not over the top. Tara Sands does a very nice job narrating this audiobook and I would definitely listen to her read YA material again. (In my opinion, her voice sounds way too much like a teenager for me to listen to her read adult material.)
"Don't bother"
2-1/2 stars: Meh. For as short as it was, it felt like it dragged a bit. Also, Mina and Brody acted way older than their 15/16 years, in terms of romance, possessiveness, etc. They just didn't feel right to me. I didn't like Nan. She was completely obnoxious and no way I'd keep her for a best friend if I was Mina. The whole story felt like it was "off". I can't fault the the reader of the audio, though, who did a nice job (and who I've really enjoyed before reading other books). It's a shame because I had high hopes for this book (and series).
"Read it in print"
This book was very exciting and enjoyable but I personally did not care much for the narration. It was bland. I almost gave the narrator 2 stars but compared to some of the really bad narrators I've listened to, she wasn't that bad. It's just that compared to some of the really good narrators I've listened to, she paled in comparison. So I settled on 3 stars (though that might be a bit generous).
I ended up listening to about half of it and read the other half in print. I enjoyed it much more in print and definitely recommend it in that format.
"Read it in print instead"
This was a very enjoyable cozy with good characters and a good mystery however avoid the audiobook. The reader sounds way too young, in my opinion, and she doesn't do a good job with different voices, especially the men. Also, the quality of the audio is poor. There is a noise in the background, a little like static but not quite. Definitely not the quality I am used to from Audible. I enjoyed this book much more reading it in print. However, a word of warning for the kindle edition-- the formatting isn't very good. There are strange breaks in paragraphs (like extra returns) and occasionally words run together into one giant word. It's readable, but could definitely be cleaner.

I'm made a mess of my living room. I don't know what I'm doing and it shows. I need some help and ideas.
I had removed wallpaper from the walls. The paper came off effortlessly, I just pulled it off. The wall underneath was fairly smooth and covered with some kind of off white primer. Because of what happened when I had someone paint my hallway, which had the same wallpaper, I decided to prime the walls with Gardz. I didn't wash the walls or attempt to remove any paste. I just coated it (twice) with Gardz, thinking I could get someone over to skim coat it. The walls aren't damaged at all except in a few spots but they have a beady texture. All I want is smooth walls but the drywall people want hundreds of dollars to skim coat, saying that skim coating around trim is very time consuming. A friend said that I should have tried to wash the walls off. I am totally confused. I don't know what is wallpaper paste, wallpaper primer or what. I have limited skills when it comes to stuff like this. Should I try to wash the paste off the walls even though I have already used Gardz? Should I be trying to remove the thick white coating on the walls -- is that the paste? Or should I just bite the bullet and pay someone to skim coat. Any ideas would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by brushworks (My Page) on Mon, Nov 14, 11 at 16:22
GARDZ will not allow you to wash off the paste, it's sealed (locked) to the wall. GARDZ is an excellent base to skim coat over. Call them. |
I just had to use a steamer to get the wallpaper off because the people who hung the wallpaper didn't size. The guy at the paint store recommended putting an oil based stain blocker on the walls then painting w a latex paint...I guess based on brushworks comment it's a little late for this. :(((((( |

New topic - OVERSEAS BASES
Overseas bases are not like those in the US. They are governed by Status of Forces agreements. They may be joint bases with the host country controlling a lot of the policy. For example in Rota, Spain the base is run by the Spanish. Retired can not use the Commissary or the Exchange but are permitted to use the mini-mart. The mini-mart is quite big and well stocked but it is not the Commissary. I got my hair cut but I think that was just because I was there and technically I was not authorized to use the barber shop. What you can do varies from country to country. Most have no marina facilities Access in Rota is controlled by the Spanish. You have to get a new pass every two days. Summary - don't plan to go to a US overseas base and expect the same reception and services that you would get in the US.

Guide to Military Marinas
. It is free if you send them an email. Good places to stop to reprovision and they will be cheaper than the local economy. They are seasonal and may be hard to get into (e.g. Key West NAF in the winter.) Call well ahead - several months in fact. Again, policies vary. In Key West everyone must be a US Citizen. In other bases NATO allies are welcomed, in others as long as you vouch for them and they are in the US legally there will be no problem In one unnamed base (you will see why in a minute) the CO extended the courtesy of docking two Canadian boats I was traveling with for a couple of days as long as I was willing to vouch for their conduct. (That was a stretch, they were cruisers after all.) Don't depend on historic data. A new CO can change the policies overnight and in my experience this does happen with some regularity.
Enjoy your new cruising life.

I turned my 'power saver' off just because it doesn't save power and god knows what they screwed up adding it.
Be thankful, as I am, that it can be shut off.
You'd think that to be 'energy star rated' your 'Power Saver' would actucally have to do something! (Other than screw other things up!)
Did the PS have anything at all to do with the rating? When the energy ratings first came out, I was a working electrician and we took some things apart to see how they managed to get their ratings. You'd be surprised at what we found in air conditioners.


text: I understand that "lose it quick" typically results in "gain it back quick". That said, I desperately want to lose10lbs before attending a special event this upcoming October, and I'm okay with gaining the 10lbs back quickly afterwards. The event is going to have a lot of media coverage and I'd rather be 10lbs slimmer than I am now. I am about 125lbs. I have focused steadily on a balanced diet and moderate exerise but none of what I am doing is enough to "break" my plateau. I'm not looking for anything that would be classified as "unhealthy". I am looking for a weightloss regimen that may require extra discipline and produces results in a short time frame. Any suggestions? Thanks.
