Top 10 Reasons to Order The Primal Blueprint 90-Day Journal
Posted By Mark Sisson On July 3, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Announcements,Self-Experimentation | 50 Comments
Update: The 90-Day Journal is still available at PrimalBlueprint.com [7], but the special limited-time offer has come to end.
Last week, I unveiled [8] The Primal Blueprint 90-Day Journal [9], complete with exclusive freebies, enticements, and coupons. Many thanks to each person that has already ordered a copy. I hope and anticipate this book will help you discover new insights into how your body responds to certain foods, workouts and other lifestyle behaviors, and that through self-experimentation you will be able to markedly improve your health. I can hardly wait to hear reports back from those that use the 90-Day Journal. I'll be publishing them here on MDA, so check back in months to come as results begin trickling in.
If you missed last week's announcement or have been on the fence about picking up a copy, here are the top 10 reasons to grab one in the next 24 hours before the special offer ends.
If you are new to Primal, ready to discover what makes you tick and learn what works best for YOU, but don't know where to begin, this is the book for you. This book tells you exactly how to conduct an "experiment of one" with easy-to-follow instructions and guidance at each step along the way. The Primal Blueprint 90-Day Journal [10] will give you the gentle push you need to kickstart your Primal life.
If you are already Primal and seeing great results but there's that one niggling thing that you haven't figured out how to fix, this is the book for you, too. Has your weight loss stalled despite your best efforts? Are you all around healthy, but have a blood test result that has you scratching your head? Or are you getting great sleep, but find your energy levels waning in the afternoon? You may only ever be able to identify what needs changing through a systematic process, and this book provides that process.
As detailed in my posts over the last few months, self-experimentation [11] is an incredibly powerful way to determine what makes each of us unique. But, we're not all familiar with the scientific method. Some of us need help with making our self-experimentation a little more rigorous and formal. If that sounds like you, the program found in this book is just what you need.
If you've personally received any value from Mark's Daily Apple and the Primal Blueprint, I hope you will consider picking up a copy today so MDA can continue to thrive and reach more people just like you.
The Primal Blueprint 90-Day Journal [12] will not be available in stores or online retailers (including Amazon.com) until mid-August. You can only get it from PrimalBlueprint.com [13]. So grab your copy today to avoid the wait, and to get the official early adopter badge. (Disclaimer: The early adopter badge doesn't really exist. Reference to the early adopter badge was only inserted for the purpose of eliciting a few chuckles. Please don't email me about not receiving an early adopter badge with your journal.)
PBers have been looking for a simple, inexpensive, unobtrusive way to surreptitiously identify other PBers in the wild for years now. But, since facial tattoos were too extreme, spears are illegal in most municipalities, Primal hand signals kept getting mistaken for gang signs, and Vibrams indicate vegan as often as Primal, they never quite settled on the perfect method. Until today. The PB Wristband will allow you to spot fellow PBers and share knowing nods without anyone being the wiser. Order the book today (or tomorrow before midnight) and you'll get one for free. (Learn how to get this freebie in the original book release post [14].)
When you order one or two books, you get Experiment of One, an eBook compendium of 100 personal experiments created by readers. This is the perfect accompaniment to the journal, especially if you're not quite sure what you want to test, because you'll have 100 examples of workable, testable experiments of one. When you order three or more books, you'll also receive Primal Living in the Real World: Part 2, an eBook chock full of tips, hints, and guides written by PBers on how to make Primal living work in everyday life. (Learn how to get all the freebies in the original book release post [14].)
MDA receives a lot of new readers every month, and not all of them have caught up with the book that started it all. If you're one of them, or maybe you just want to pick up the book for your collection, or give it as a gift to someone who really needs it, ordering the 90-Day Journal today will get you a brand spanking new copy of the original PB hardcover. (Learn how to get all the freebies in the original book release post [14].)
Curious about Primal Fuel [15]? Eying one of the T-shirts [16]? Considering Damage Control Master Formula [17]? Wait no more. When you order the book, you'll get $10 (one or two books) or $20 (three or more) toward a purchase on PB.com. That's a hefty discount, wouldn't you say? (Learn how to get all the freebies in the original book release post [14].)
The special offer ends on Wednesday, July 4, midnight PDT. There's no better time than now, this is your last chance, you won't ever get another offer as good as this one, act fast, etc, etc. Marketing hype? Maybe sometimes, in some places, but today, here on MDA? It's the honest truth. This is a pretty awesome offer; I don't think anyone can really deny that. If you want to take advantage of it, go ahead and place your order [18]. I'll even give you a 100% money back guarantee if you don't like the book, so there's no way to really lose here (but I'm pretty sure you'll dig it).
Thanks again, everyone, and Grok on!

An offshoot of Kansas' Rural Opportunity Zones program could be moving into Wyandotte County, pending approval from the state legislature.
Wyandotte County officials are optimistic that Gov. Sam Brownback will introduce the plan to the Kansas legislature soon. Brownback first debuted the idea for "Urban Opportunity Zones" on the campaign trail in August.
The zones would entice out-of-state residents to move into Kansas with a five-year income tax exemption, up to $15,000 in help for student loan payments, and significant property tax breaks for 15 years.
This week, the musicians in the Kansas City Kansas Community College Jazz Ensemble travel to Cuba, where they've been invited to perform at the Havana International Jazz Festival. It's a point of pride for a little-known, but stellar music program.
A multimillion-dollar plan to transform downtown Kansas City, Kan., into a national model is one step closer to reality.
The Unified Government Board of Commissioners last week unanimously approved a new master development plan designed to help improve the health of Kansas City and other Wyandotte County residents by providing a state-of-the-art community center, more green space in which to exercise and access to healthy foods at a 30,000- to 35,000-square-foot urban grocery store.
The Kansas City Royals clinched the American League Championship against the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday, and will move on to the World Series for the first time in 29 years.
Fans are celebrating the historic moment, but the boys in blue aren't out of the woods just yet.
Now the question is which team will they face off against: the St. Louis Cardinals or the San Francisco Giants? And which would be a better matchup?
Royals fans don't get much more devoted than Andy Berry. A lifelong Kansas Citian, Berry attended the 1980 World Series when the Royals lost to the Phillies, and Game seven of the 1985 World Series when the Royals beat the Cardinals.
On that night when Missouri's two MLB teams clashed, Berry decided to sneak his way down onto the field after the final play. It was there that he got a special piece of memorabilia to remember that night: some dirt from the diamond.
Kansas City, Kan., Mayor Mark Holland on Thursday unveiled an initiative to ensure that all residents can use a proposed new community center regardless of their financial circumstances.
Holland announced the initiative as part of a community forum for a "healthy campus" proposed for an urban site just west of downtown Kansas City, Kan.
A proposal championed by Holland, the healthy campus is a proposed mixed-use development that would revolve around Big Eleven Lake, which is bounded by 10th and 11th streets between State Avenue and Washington Boulevard.
Even if you don't pay attention to sports, social media or Kansas City, you probably saw something about the Royals winning their first playoff game in 29 years Tuesday.
Fans were left stunned after what was arguably the most intense game in Royals history. But what about people who generally don't follow baseball and want in on the excitement? What about those who don't know a bunt from bean?
Kansas City is the most up-and-coming city in the country, according to a new ranking list.
The Huffington Post ranked Kansas City as the most exciting, "it" city in the United States. The food, Midwestern hospitality and music were all highlighted as reasons to visit the metro area.
News site The Daily Beast released an extensive review of United States high schools, and two of Kansas City's were ranked as "Doing the Most With the Least."
Out of 25 schools, Sumner Academy of Arts and Science in Kansas City, Kan., and Lincoln College Preparatory Academy in Kansas City, Mo., ranked 17th and 18th, respectively.
It was nearly a decade ago that the Rosedale Development Association, a nonprofit community improvement corporation, identified lack of transportation as a significant barrier for neighborhood residents who wanted better access to medical care, grocery stores and other basic services.
The feedback came via a community-needs survey conducted by a volunteer working with the organization, said Erin Stryka, program manager of the association's Rosedale Healthy Kids program.
The southern vista from Big Eleven Lake — situated along one of the busiest streets in Kansas City, Kan. — features the crescent roof of a self-service car wash and the clutter of an auto body shop wedged onto a tiny corner lot.
On Tuesday, the litter along the lake's muddy bank included an empty bottle of peach vodka and a crumpled pack of Pall Malls.
Down the hill was fisherman Alvin Suttington, a KCK native who said the park is a relaxing, convenient amenity for urban families. But, he said, "It would be better if (municipal officials) kept it up better."
It's been nearly a year since Mark Holland became mayor of Kansas City, Kan., and it's time to see what influence he's wielded in the city over that time.
On Wednesday's Up to Date, Mayor Holland joins us in the studio to talk about the city's economic development, public health programs and other issues.
The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., County needs to lower its taxes and drop its mill levy. That was part of the message on Tuesday for Mark Holland in his first term as chief executive of the Unified Government.
Two friends from Kansas City, Kan., are teaming up for a project called If Da Dirt Could Talk. It combines collaborative quilts with a performance in an historic graveyard in old Quindaro.
Quilting to share history
Artist Nedra Bonds started quilting at the age of six. "Yeah, I didn't have a choice, I come from a family of quilters on both sides," she says. "So this was something that we did, based upon who we were, based on the needs of the family, and we just always have done it."
In 2006, an organization called Local Initiatives Support Corporation of Greater Kansas City (LISC) identified six neighborhoods in the Kansas City area to target for improvements: Blue Hills, Douglass-Sumner, Ivanhoe Northwest, Downtown Kansas City, Kan., Scaritt Renaissance and St. Peter/ Waterway.
LISC is a national group that works with local organizations and communities, the Kansas City area initiative was called NeighborhoodsNOW.
Performer and KCK native, Janelle Monae, is known for her gender-bending clothing and futuristic soul-meets-funk music. Keeping in her style, Monae just released her latest music video, "Q.U.E.E.N.", featuring neo-soul singer, Erykah Badu.
It may take a week to ten days to learn how and why a woman fell from a party bus into I-35 traffic near the Kansas-Missouri state line and was killed Saturday night.
Wednesday was Joe Reardon's last day in office.
The popular, 2-term head of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas says there were many things he was proud of accomplishing, and a few things he regretted not getting done.
Here are the things he was most proud of:
It's the end of an era for one city leader, while events march on for another.
Wyandotte County voters on Tuesday will decide who holds the reins as Mayor/CEO of Unified Government.
KCUR's Dan Verbeck has background on two candidates who bring distinctly different approaches to operating the post.
Each serves as a member of the local governing commission, survivors of a spirited primary campaign and election. The candidates appeared to answer questions posed by a panel in a forum at Kansas City Kansas Community College. Appearing in alphabetical order:
Join Up to Date at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 1, at the Kansas City, Kan., Main Library, 625 Minnesota Ave., for the final debate of the Kansas City, Kan., mayoral race. Candidates Mark Holland and Ann Murguia will discuss the hot issues of the campaign in a debate moderated by Steve Kraske.
Missouri Senate Passes Tax Overhaul
Over objections from Gov. Jay Nixon, the Missouri Senate has passed a tax overhaul that would cut income taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars annually for residents and businesses. It would also boost sales taxes.
The legislation is promoted by supporters as the most dramatic change to Missouri's tax policies in decades. It's prompted by a desire to compete with sweeping income tax cuts in Kansas.
Kansas City Kansas Mayor and Unified Government CEO Joe Reardon took the Google Fiber theme to an unexpected place as his annual State of Unified Government became audience-interactive.
Update Tuesday, 7:30 a.m. Due to the weather, polling places have been consolidated in both Wyandotte and Johnson Counties. Find polling places for Wyandotte County here and Johnson County here.
On Tuesday, voters in Wyandotte County will narrow the field of candidates for the Mayor/CEO of Unified Government. The number running will be reduced from five to two, going into the April general election. KCUR's Dan Verbeck reports on candidates' backgrounds and issue-positions that have appeared since the campaign began in earnest only a month ago.
General Motors has committed to a more than half billion dollar investment into its assembly plant in the Fairfax District of Kansas City, Kansas.
The CEO of General Motors will announce details of a major expansion at its Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas City, Kan. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is slated address education, mental health, and Medicaid in his State of the State address this evening. City leaders in Kansas City will host several public meetings this week, aimed at strengthening arts and culture in the region.
If a person suddenly collapses, CPR could mean the difference between life and death. That's the message coming from city and hospital leaders in Kansas City, Kan., who want to train a lot more residents in the lifesaving technique.
The Mayor and CEO of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, Joe Reardon, announced today he would not seek reelection for a third term this spring. In a letter from his office, Reardon said he made the decision based on personal reasons.
"I have a family at home that I love very much. It is important to me that I spend more time with them. My two sons are growing up much too quickly," he said in his letter, which is posted in full on his Facebook page.
Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says every aspect explored proves the wisdom of moving the Agency's regional headquarters to Lenexa, Kansas.

How Quartz Infrared Heaters Work
Friday, January 17th, 2014Quartz infrared heaters are highly efficient, ecofriendly, and have a longer lifespan than other supplemental heat sources. Infrared light is a specific wavelength that is associated with the red end of the visible spectrum. We won't drag you through another science lesson but there are some fundamentals that you should know in order to understand how quartz infrared heaters work.
How Infrared Works
Electromagnetic radiation is used to transfer energy from one object to another. The wave length of these infrared rays is anywhere from 780nm to 1mm. Very miniscule if you don't already get the picture. Heat is produced when energy (electricity) is transferred through a coiled tungsten wire. Emitting a range of low, medium, and high energy waves, infrared light is used in a variety of applications.
Originally discovered in the 1800's by a British Astronomer by the name of Sir William Herschel, it wasn't until the 1940's that infrared heat became popular. While there are 8 variations of infrared heat, this article will focus on the basics of infrared quartz heaters in particular.

Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) Author Posts October 7, 2011 at 3:43 pm #119697 Terry_Gyimah 183 Posts I know that if I was a new character in Llanview, and if I were related to a family in Llanview, I would be a long-lost Evans. I would be a son of Pa Evans, Destiny's grandfather, a son that Pa Evans never knew he had because him & Destiny's mom had problems in their marriage, this is before Destiny is born, and Shaun is out doing his thing and Greg is out being a doctor. Pa Evans cheats on Ma Evans with my mother, and they end up having an affair and he gets her pregnant. Then Pa Evans leaves my mom high and dry without even knowing that he just got my mom pregnant as he chooses to go back to his wife and work out their marriage, and nine months later my mother gives birth to me and names me Isaac Evans. Pa Evans has no idea that I even exist, or Ma Evans for that matter because he has kept quiet about this for years, and my mother finally told me the truth after 21 years about who my father is as I kept asking her while growing up about who my father is, but she would never give me answers until I finally got it out of her as she thinks aloud to herself talking about my father and I overhear, and she tells me that it is Pa Evans, and I ream my mother out for lying to me for my whole life and the fact that I was conceived out of an affair that my parents had together. I would be so angry that I would walk out of my mother's house as we live in Arizona, and I end up going on the Internet to try to find my father and I end up finding out where he lives, in Llanview. So I am headed there and I confront him and tell him that I am his son, and I mention who my mother is to him. He basically doesn't believe me in that I am his son, and that if I am his son, he wants me to take a DNA test. I then tell Ma Evans everything about how I am his son and the fact that my father cheated on her with my mother all those years ago and that I am the product of that. She doesn't believe me either and neither does Shaun or Destiny for that matter. I then take the DNA test and it comes back positive, I am Pa Evans' illegitimate son and what I was saying was the truth about everything which causes a rift in the Evans family But I eventually make friends in Llanview with James and Starr, and I end up going to Llanview University on a scholarship as I am an athlete playing for the football team. I don't live with my father or his family as I am not close with them at first because I end up living at James' place with him & Ford, and Destiny makes the first move in trying to have a relationship with me considering that I am her uncle, and me & her eventually become close and she tries to persuade me to give Shaun a chance in order for me & him to get to know each other as brothers. Shaun & me eventually become close too, and I meet my other brother Greg in Statesville when I go to visit him And Destiny tries to get me to accept Pa Evans into my life but I say that it will be a cold day in hell before that ever happens because the only family I have are you, Shaun, Greg, James, Ford, Starr, and everyone else but he will never be my father and Ma Evans will never be a step-mother of mine either. October 7, 2011 at 9:44 pm #846054 liason4real 302 Posts John McBain's ex-fiancee Caitlin's death was faked by the FBI. Caitlin and their unborn child went into witness protection after she witnessed a mob hit while working on the job. There were death threats against Caitlin, but she never told John. Caitlin and John's daughter, Natasha is 14/15 years old and develops a crush on Jack and Shane. I would bring back Jamie Vega who is now 14/15 to live with her grandmother Carlotta while Antonio is working on a year's undercover assignment for the FBI. Natalie is not going to like John and Caitlin relieving their past and ends up in the arms of some hunky man TBD later on. October 9, 2011 at 2:32 am #846204 Camp is not a sustainable model 828 Posts Reginald James Gannon, RJ's (RJ's name is Randell James) son from another a woman he once was with off the show named Kenya. Reginald is referred to as mini RJ since he has the same temperament as his father, but has a business and law degree. He makes his way to town when he is in the running to become CEO of Buchanan Enterprises. He comes with strong recommendation from Hank and Nora. Reginald has experience on Wall Street where he quickly rose through the ranks. If he is offered the position at BE then this would his chance to prove himself as a man who can run a major company. Reginald appears to have issues with father not being in life when RJ returns to town when he learns his son has successfully gotten the job. RJ and Reginald need to work through their issues with one another to become father and son. But all of this will really turn out to be a ruse as Reginald plans to secretly buy stock in the company through dummy corporations and take it over to run it with his dear old dad. There is another person at play here too. No one knows but Dorian has been secretly helping Reginald and RJ.

This group is afiliated with Al Qaeda now that's running amok in Iraq.
Osama is dead and Al Q is on the run

That's funny we had to invade Iraq to "deny Al Queida a safe haven" but it took us leaving Iraq for them to actually have one.
Posted 12 June 2014 - 01:02 PM
Zarquawi was top dog Al Queda. Who actually believes Saddam could have supported an Army financially? His army surrendered to cnn crews back in the 90's. We were fighting insurgents the whole time. Just like the Taliban. They are an occupying force in Afghan. Just like the rebels in Libya or the rebels in Syria. They just move from one conflict to the next.

Our so-called leader is gutless, and not a leader. He just got done blabbering about how safe and more accepting the world is....well, maybe to his Muslim buddies it is, for the rest of us we just get to sit back and wait for the next 9/11 to happen.

Did he do his "blabbering" in English or his native tongue from wherever he was born?
Any mention of those "Muslim buddies" by name?

I agree that Bush II made a tremendous mistake going into Iraq. Of course, its also true that John McCain was right when he said we should stay in Iraq for a long time. I don't blame Obama for abiding by the treaty and wanting to get us out of Iraq, but a long term US presence in Iraq would prevent situations like this.

I told everyone here way back when that douche Bush started talking about Iraq then that if we went in, we owned Iraq for a very long time. It became such a disaster Bush had to get out and hope the crap I also said was going to happen didn't. When you all make fun of me as some bleeding heart tree higher you could not be more wrong, I just know more than you do about these things having been a pretty dedicated armchair historian of other wars before Desert Storm made me really want to understand the nuttiness going on. Because of that I knew about Americans For A New Century, a conservative think tank ran by Wolfowicz. Cheney etc. advocating invasion of Iraq when Clinton was president promising us all the benefits of bringing freedom to Iraq. I was pretty shocked to see Bush integrate it into a national tragedy so callously.

Under Bush...militants were running and hiding.
Under Obama...they're taking over cities wholesale.
Posted 12 June 2014 - 08:29 PM
Obama's plan is coming to fruition.
Iraq, Iran and the US just one big happy family.
Iraq's government girded to protect the capital from advancing insurgents, as Iranian security officials said their forces had joined the battle on Baghdad's side and the U.S. weighed military assistance, including airstrikes.
Iraq edged closer to all-out sectarian conflict as Kurdish forces took control of a provincial capital in the oil-rich north on Thursday and Sunni militants threatened to march on two cities revered by Shiite Muslims and the capital.
"What we have seen over the last couple of days indicates the degree to which Iraq is going to need more help—more help from us and more help from the international community," President Barack Obama said from the Oval Office. "My team is working around the clock to identify how we can provide the most effective assistance to them," he added. "I don't rule out anything."
I've never seen such clever diplomacy.

DB's New Happy Hour Perfect Starter for this Saturday's Art Walk
Categories: Booze Hound, First Bites
Lesley Elliott |
The infamous DB burger goes small scale - "Le bébé burger" with gruyère ($9). |
All signature cocktails are now half off, and the happiest detail is that this "hour" runs from Monday through Saturday, from 5 to 8 p.m. It's perfect for an early dinner before you do the Wynwood Art Walk. (Next one is coming up this weekend..) Fancy food for those with fancy taste and moderately filled wallets - an ideal pairing for gallery-goers.
It's the individual elements that make each dish so special - gently poached tomatoes, garlicky aioli made from scratch, hamburger buns baked in-house. Chef Verbiak wants to appeal to the downtown crowd, "there are so many young office workers, we wanted dishes that they could identify with, but be introduced to flavors that they are not accustomed to with solid technique behind it. Like the "tarte fine", maybe they've been eating pizza their entire life, but they've never had it like this before. Same with the burgers, and empanadas."
DB's Miami Spice menu explores the more classical side of French cooking, including grand mère's pâté and the croque madame, along with specially priced wine pairings by the glass ($7 to $8). The menu will change every two weeks to keep things exciting for local diners, which we appreciate.
And now on to the bar bites, just after the jump.

A Creak in the Creek

A Creak in the CreekG'day
Chase, my CRX 1 which has done 5200 km has a very loud creak and I am trying to isolate it without much luck and seeking some ideas on the possible cause. Things which may help in the process: (a) If I stand and pedal the creak goes away; (b) Saddle is a Brooks B17 (c) Chain is worn badly and really needs replacing The BB feels okay, no sounds of dragging or feels like it is. My plan is to swap out the seat Friday and see if that makes a difference. Other ideas? Andrew
That one just went straight over my head I am afraid Andrew
Alleged remedies for creaky arthritic joints Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
I have the opposite problem.....
Somewhere in the drivechain i have a creak - somewhere at the front... but everything looks to be in perfect order. Thought it may have been a loose chainring or something, but it all looks ok... only happens when i put the bike under load - higher the load, the higher the number of clicks/creaks per revolution of the crank... and it happens at certain points in the crank, like clockwork.... Thought it might be the chain, but lubed that to no avail... an almost new bike, probably done less than 500km..
had a similar thing once. Seatpost. Grease and tighten
Ever since the vasectomy...I mostly ride fixed.
+1 It was a common problem on Giant MTBs for a while (still may be?). Could also be a loose seat clamp on the rails of the saddle, or you may need to put some Proofide on the nose of the Brooks where it bends over the metal bit at the front. Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.
--------------------------------------- My web site: www.scenebyhird.com --------------------------------------- The Bicycle Transportation Alliance
Sounds like it could be a bottom bracket or crank/ spindle interface noise. What type are you running? May be even a pedal prob..... God save the ABC & SBS.....
Re: A Creak in the Creek If you have checked you seatpost / saddle already time to check your cranks. And then head over to Creaks, Clicks & Clunks
running 105 BB/crankset.
Apparently protects against heart dysrhythmias also Then again, http://health.dailynewscentral.com/content/view/1130/63
It pays to keep your eyes and ears open.
On my commuter it turned out to be a loose BB. A lean on a wrench by the LBS mechanic fixed that. On my dually, it turned out to be dirt in the seat rail sockets. A wipe and some chain lube fixed that. On one of TooLongLegs' bikes, it turned out to be a fatigue-cracked crank. Eventually it let go mid-sprint in a bunch ride. Usually it's something trivial. It pays to be cautious, though: the consequences of a structural failure can be decidedly non-trivial.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will start with the seat post and take it from there. I assume removing the cranks is easy but the bottom bracket will require a special tool. Is that correct?
Also is is okay to grease carbon seat posts? Thanks Andrew
Thanks Bnej ... off to the LBS I go I go ... Andrew
Lets make that three and counting ... first one had no idea what I was talking about. I really try to support this LBS but this really doesn't help. Second one offered to order it in ...; third one also offered to order it in and at least asked the mechanic if they had a bit I could have without luck.... a couple to try at Freo on Saturday. In the mean time could I use a spot of grease as a stop gap measure, assuming it is the problem? Andrew
Many carbon makers don't recommend grease, and in principle it shouldn't be needed. I think sogood uses grease on carbon parts, I haven't tried it myself.
Most bike mechanics I have spoken to don't use assembly paste, but it is the right stuff to use. Assembly paste will reduce the required tightening torque so you don't risk damaging your post trying to stop it from slipping.
Don't know if they sell it, but Ward Cycles in Morley use it out the back in the workshop - they used it when I had issues with my carbon seatpost slipping earlier this year
Check your cleats if you use them. This was the cause of one of mine. The other creak that I had was a cracked crank.
Thanks for all the help. I think I have resolved the problem. Well my quick test ride this afternoon did not produce a creak. I suspect the problem was the seat and/seat post. I am not 100% sure as I pulled the seat post out, lubed it, took the seat off, gave it a once over, replaced the chain and checked over the cranks. Anyway fingers crossed all sorted. Thanks Andrew

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Origin and historyThe AcolytesDue to the manifesting of his mutation, Seamus experienced discrimination and lots of inhumanly abuse. He became devoted to Magneto and believed in his point of view that mutants are superior to humans. By joining the Acolytes, he was crowned as the "Noble Knight of the Acolytes".During a fight with the X-Men, Jean Grey used her telekinetic abilities to throw Mellencamp miles away, but he was durable enough to survive.CreationSeamus Mellencamp was created by Scott Lobdell and John Romita, Jr in 1993 and first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #300.Major Story ArcsThe AcolytesMellencamp was once killed by Madrox who created duplicates within Seamus out of self-defense. Exodus had previously claimed he could resurrect dead Acolytes, somewhat explaining how Mellencamp appeared alive and well some time later. Mellencamp remained an active Acolyte member over the next few months and followed Magneto when he took over the island state of Genosha. It's believed that he perished with many of the other inhabitants of Genosha after Sentinels came to exterminate all mutants on the island.NecroshaNecroshaMellencamp returned to life via Selene's mystical powers and Eli Bard's control over the Transmode virus in Selene's attempt to seek revenge on the X-Men for standing in her way of her becoming a goddess.Alongside fellow revived Acolytes Fabian Cortez and Delgado, Mellencamp attacked X-Men student Loa, demanding to know the whereabouts of their former leader (and current X-Man) Magneto.Deadpool, who had invited himself to stay on the mutant island of Utopia, heard Loa's cries and came to her aid. Remembering Cyclops' rule of "no killing", Deadpool threw Loa at the Acolytes, who were disintegrated via her ability to "swim" through solid matter. While most revived mutants were unable to be killed, it is not known if Mellencamp and the Acolytes were able to recover from Deadpool and Loa's assault. After Selene's defeat however, all her other resurrected mutants died again.Powers & AbilitiesMellencamp possesses superhuman agility and strength, razor-sharp claws, highly resistant scaled skin, and sharp spikes all over his body. Actually, his skin is a resemblance of the Hulk's. Due to his mutation, his body fats were replaced by pure muscle.All of Mellencamp's physical abilities are greatly beyond a human in peak physical condition. His strength allows him to even cause harm to those who have superhuman durability. He can nearly never be tired because of his immense stamina, which lets him do strenuous activities for days on end.Somehow, he is also immune to power absorptions such as Rogue's.His senses are also stronger than other mutants, human, or animals since he can see in the dark, blinding light, and even underwater. He can also select what to hear and detect targets by the use of their scent alone.Other MediaWolverine and the X-MenWolverine And The X-MenMellencamp is one of Magneto's Acolyte in Genosha. In the series, Magneto's Acolytes serve as peacemakers of Genosha. He follows Magneto's order such as sending some mutants to prison. He works commonly alongside with Senyaka, Mercury, and Scarlet Witch as shown in the series.

About this project
Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in a dream?
Sometimes the things we think are helping us are actually hurting us. Follow along as we explore how the things we do to escape, sometimes trap us.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Catrina Quintana remembers when her son had his first allergic reaction three years ago. He was eating a treat with almonds his grandfather gave him.
"He spit it out really fast and started crying, and we're like 'Asher, what's going on?'" said Quintana.
Quintana said her son's allergy to peanuts and tree nuts caught her by surprise.
"No one in our family has food allergies. I didn't even know what to look for," said Quintana.
Allergic reactions like in the case of Quintana's son can be off set with epinephrine, administered through a self-injectable device.
Now, Grants Pass School District 7 has changed their policy and will allow trained staff to help with the potentially lifesaving medication, not just licensed health care providers.
"We'd rather err on the side of those people having access to epinephrine auto injectors to use at appropriate scenarios than waiting, for example, a school nurse," said Dr. Kevin Parks of The Allergy and Asthma Center of Southern Oregon.
Doctor Kevin parks says nearly half of all reactions occur before a diagnosis has been made. For that reason, doctor parks said it's essential auto injector devices are available for use.
"This explains to the person who is administering it how to do it, even in a stressful situation when a child may be having an anaphylactic reaction. If a person has never used an auto injector, the device can actually walk them through the process," said Dr. Parks.
Quintana's son is home schooled, but she says the new policy change will have an impact in an emergency.
"A lot of times, you don't have enough time to get to a school nurse to administer epi, so hopefully teachers are able to do that," said Quintana.

'Multiculturalism' a dangerous trend

Don't look for results of economic injustice — find the cause
Oxfam reports that the richest 1 percent of people in the world own 48 percent of the world's wealth. Many claim that we should be alarmed by income inequality because it hampers upward mobility.

Give parents, students a way out of terrible schools
New York's schools are the most segregated in the nation, and the state needs remedies right away. That was Chancellor Merryl H. Tisch's message to New York's governor and Legislature.

Defense against demagogues
When gasoline sold at record prices, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said, "I think it's time to say to these people, 'Stop ripping off the American people.'"

The claim was that "Wall Street greed (was) fueling high gas prices."
WILLIAMS: 'Basic Economics' should be basic reading
"Whether one is a conservative or a radical, a protectionist or a free trader, a cosmopolitan or a nationalist, a churchman or a heathen, it is useful to know the causes and consequences of economic phenomena." That quotation, from Nobel laureate George J. Stigler, is how Dr. Thomas Sowell begins the fifth edition of "Basic Economics." It's a book that explains complex economic phenomena in a way that many economists cannot. And, I might add, it provides an...
Americans don't want 'rule of law'
President Barack Obama said just before the recent Ferguson, Missouri, riots, "First and foremost, we are a nation built on the rule of law." Most Americans have little or no inkling of what "rule of law" means. Many think it means obedience to whatever laws legislatures enact. That's a vision that has led to human tragedy down through the ages. Historically, it sanctioned the divine right of kings, whereby a monarch was subject to no earthly authority,...
Scholar-athlete charade
Last year's column "Dishonest Educators" (1/9/2013) reported on the largest school cheating scandal in U.S. history. In more than three-quarters of the 56 Atlanta schools investigated, teachers changed student answers on academic achievement tests. Cheating orders came directly from school administrators. The cheating was brazen. One teacher told a colleague, "I had to give your kids, or your students, the answers because they're dumb as hell."...
WILLIAMS: Aid to Africa encourages leaders' corruption
Here's how my Aug. 11, 2003, column began: "Anyone who believes President Bush's Africa initiative, including sending U.S. troops to Liberia, will amount to more than a hill of beans is whistling Dixie. Maybe it's overly pessimistic, but most of Africa is a continent without much hope for its people." More than a decade has passed since that assessment, and little has changed to suggest a more optimistic outlook. Now Ebola threatens the very existence of...
WILLIAMS: Embarrassing economists
So as to give some perspective, I'm going to ask readers for their guesses about human behavior before explaining my embarrassment by some of my fellow economists.
Approval delays are killing Americans
The Food and Drug Administration can make two types of errors. It can approve a drug that has dangerous unanticipated side effects, or it can reject or delay approval of a drug that is safe and effective. Let's look at these errors, because to err on the side of under- or over-caution is costly.

10 Natural Hairstyles We Love
Why fight with your texture? These natural hairstyles — as spotted on Pinterest — will inspire you to embrace your curls and coils.
Such pretty flowing curls. For looser, bouncy ringlets, try a mild cleanser instead of shampoo to add shine and moisture. Rake in a lightweight leave-in conditioner that won't weigh hair down. Oyin's Handmade Hair Dew ($13, oyinhandmade.com) is so light you can use it every day.

This retro pompadour pairs perfectly with the bold brows. To recreate, use a natural pomade, like Kinky-Curly's Gloss Pomade ($10, kinky-curly.com) to slick back both sides.

Why G&K Services (GK) Stock Is Gaining Today

The company's financial results topped estimates from analysts polled by Thomson Reuters of 73 cents per share, on revenue of $227.2 million.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates G&K SERVICES INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate G&K SERVICES INC (GK) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, reasonable valuation levels and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."

Friday, March 09
Ford Center
Attendance: 18,203
Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - Kyrie Irving didn't have his best shooting night from the floor, but his offense down the stretch helped the Cleveland Cavaliers snap Oklahoma City's 14-game home winning streak with a 96-90 win over the Thunder.
Irving scored five of his nine points in the final three minutes for Cleveland, which used a 12-0 run to put the game away.
Irving also added 12 assists, six rebounds and three steals while Antawn Jamison added 21 points and eight boards for the Cavaliers, who outrebounded the Thunder 21-8 on the offensive glass.
"Shots that I normally make were not falling, but that's okay," said Irving. "I trusted my teammates down the stretch and they hit a lot of shots and made my job a lot easier."
Kevin Durant scored 23 points to go with eight rebounds and eight assists for the Thunder, who were 6-of-24 from beyond the arc. Oklahoma City had won nine of its last 10 contests coming in. Russell Westbrook netted 19 points.
Trailing 85-82 with 3:14 left, Anthony Parker began the 12-0 surge with a jumper.
Irving took over from there.
Back-to-back driving layups followed by his feed to Jamison for a layup made it 90-85 in favor of Cleveland with 1:08 left.
Westbrook missed a jumper at the other end and Irving went up high to snatch the rebound. He made 1-of-2 foul shots to put the Cavs up by six.
Durant, who was just 1-of-7 from three-point range, missed a trey on Oklahoma City's next trip up the floor.
Daniel Gibson made two from the line and after Westbrook's missed layup, Parker capped the burst with a free throw, giving Cleveland its largest lead of the contest, 94-85, with 44 seconds remaining.
"I think you have to give Cleveland a lot of credit," Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said. "They came in with a great game plan and executed it very well. We were a step slow."
It was a tightly contested opening half. The Thunder led, 27-26 after one and 51-49 heading into the break. Durant and Westbrook netted 11 points apiece for the Thunder.
Cleveland shot just 28 percent in the third, but snatched seven offensive rebounds in the period as the game was tied at 69 heading into the final frame.

$17 Million Dollars Worth of Drugs Seized by CBP in Two Months
PHARR - Nearly 18,000 pounds of marijuana have been seized in the past two months at the Pharr Reynosa International bridge.
The more than eight tons of the drug is worth roughly $17 million dollars after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers foiled seven separate illicit importation. In all cases a secondary inspection revealed the packages hidden within the trailer or within cargo. In all nearly 2,500 packages of marijuana were confiscated with the drugs and vehicles seized by CBP.

Recycling increasing after one year of new single sort program
MORRIS – A year after implementing a single sort recycling program, Stevens County has collected more recyclable materials and received positive feedback about the program from many county residents.
The initial roll out of the program in July 2013 – delivering approximately 2,200 recycling containers to city residents throughout Stevens County – took about a week, said Troy Engebretson of Engebretson and Sons Disposal.

Visitors enter through the Great Hall of News, where the day's headlines rush by on an electronic zipper. After that prologue, the main narrative begins on the concourse level with an orientation film, What's News, an elegant montage of still photos and video whose themes are taken up later in the Early News Gallery. After a quick look at a satellite truck and an exhibition on the Berlin Wall—which credits the free flow of information for the wall's demise—visitors proceed to the sixth floor and work their way downstairs and forward in time.
Along the way, they'll encounter another Appelbaum signature: the large, emotionally charged artifact. Besides graffiti-covered sections of the Berlin Wall, the museum boasts an armored Chevrolet truck pocked by bullets and shrapnel from fighting in the Balkans, and the twisted wreckage of a television antenna salvaged from the North Tower of the World Trade Center. In the World News Gallery, the laptop and passport of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl, kidnapped and slain while reporting on terrorism in Pakistan, will no doubt provoke a shiver or two.
The Newseum's collection includes more than six thousand other artifacts, exclusive of newspapers and photographs. Among those displayed are the door of the Democratic headquarters penetrated by burglars during the 1972 Watergate break-in, Ana Marie Cox's sequined slippers (worn while she wrote her political blog Wonkette), and a trs-80 RadioShack computer, a primitive portable nicknamed the "Trash-80" that many of us toted to political conventions and national disasters in the 1980s. (By the time mine broke down, the warehouse no longer had replacement parts.)
The News History Gallery, a sort of museum-within-a-museum, is the home of many of these curiosities. At its center is a timeline of newspaper history, focusing mostly (but not exclusively) on the United States. The timeline is complemented by examples from the extraordinary collection of thirty thousand historic newspapers acquired in 2001 from Eric C. Caren and Stephen A. Goldman. Visitors must pull out drawers to see them, an old-fashioned sort of interactivity designed to shield these rarities from light.
Along the sides of the gallery, the exhibition delves more deeply into the transformation of newsgathering and dissemination. One video plays Watergate highlights; another discusses women's battles against discrimination (as though they've been won); a third shows the gradual merger of news and entertainment, from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In to Stephen Colbert. Interactive stations feature games and biographies of major figures in the field, and five small theaters show films on such subjects as the history of newsreels, government censorship in Federalist-era America, and the problem of media bias.
Families will likely prefer to spend time in the Interactive Newsroom and its Ethics Center—but not just families. During my visit, members of a Coast Guard tour group took turns wielding microphones and reading television scripts, then delightedly watching their own videotaped performances on TV monitors. Nearby, dozens of interactive stations offer news quizzes and sophisticated simulations designed to test visitors' skills at photography and reporting. "Dude, you're a reporter," we're told, in case encouragement is needed.
Through all of this, journalists come out looking pretty good. One particularly moving evocation of journalistic heroism is a film devoted to press coverage of the 9/11 attacks. Interviews with reporters, cameramen, and photographers are intercut with extraordinarily intimate footage of the collapsing Twin Towers. Unlike freelance photographer Bill Biggart, whose ruined cameras and charred press card are on display, these journalists survived to bear witness. They admit to strong emotions, even tears. We see a rare shot of a TV reporter hugging an interview subject. The message is clear and salutary: we're not all coolly objective automatons or celebrity-hounding paparazzi.
Other brave journalists, killed in the line of duty or for their work, are saluted in the Journalists Memorial. Appelbaum acknowledges his debt to Maya Lin, whose Vietnam Veterans Memorial is echoed by this curving wall of smoky white glass, etched with the names of martyred journalists. Light streams in, illuminating the panels, and benches allow for contemplation. Interactive kiosks provide biographies. And a quote from Hillary Clinton provides the epitaph: "The women and men of this memorial are truly democracy's heroes."
There is also a quieter counternarrative at the Newseum, an acknowledgment of our capacity for error. Mistakes—the products of human weakness, blind ambition, and perhaps the pressures of the twenty-four-hour news cycle—are embodied in mentions of fabulists, from Janet Cooke to USA Today's Jack Kelley, as well as their historical forerunners. In a wry move, the restroom walls are adorned with flubbed headlines from CJR's "The Lower Case." Here, even nature's call is a learning opportunity. (A "Lower Case" book, co-published by CJR and the Freedom Forum, will be sold in the Newseum gift shop.)

Wheatberry Salad with Spinach
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
The USDA recommends we eat 6 to 11 servings daily from the bread, cereal, rice, and pasta group. A great way to get started is with nutty, crunchy wheatberries, whole unprocessed wheat kernels with only the hulls removed. Wheatberries do require soaking overnight before cooking; if you can't spare the time, use couscous instead.

Why is it so hard to find information about installing a Autopilot?

Why is it so hard to find information about installing a Autopilot?
I am trying to figure out how to install a below deck autopilot on a Gulfstar 41. I go to the different manufactures and they each have an array of parts that need to be put together to install one. Rarely do I find a 'kit' to install. It seems one could spend a couple thousand dollars for a unit and then find you need to spend a couple more for the parts that didn't come with it. Buying a used one from ebay or such is absolutely ridiculous.
I realize that each boat is different and that a generic 'kit' might not be so easy. But, it sure seems that it is unnecessarily difficult to put together a package that one could compare to other manufactures to see if that is the price/configuration that one would want.
Am I seeing something wrong?
With all the pieces scattered out everywhere I can't figure out which brands are best, which ones will last longer, which ones have parts available, or won't be obsolete in 6 months as most electrical components are now days.
Installing a new unit on an old boat seems to be difficult. I guess those who buy a boat with an autopilot already installed are the lucky ones.
