Answer #1Bret Bodas April 20, 2010, 11:33Master
The drive train consists of the transmission, axles, rear end differential (if equipped) and transfer case (if equipped) and yes, it is quite hard to replace all these parts.
Answer #2mastertech6371 April 20, 2010, 15:30Master
you would be looking at about 19 hours labor to remove and replace. does not include cost of powertrain or any other required parts.

How BuildZoom's Bid Tool Works
About BuildZoom
BuildZoom has one simple purpose: To help you find the perfect contractor.
How we do this is more complicated. BuildZoom is a database of every licensed contractor in the United States. We work hard to figure out who the great contractors are, and who the bad contractors are.
BuildZoom combines license information on 3.5 million contractors with 75 million building permits, and over 80,000 reviews from homeowners and the Better Business Bureau.
If you are looking for a specific contractor and you can't find them on BuildZoom, it's likely that they do not have a license - please contact us and we'll try to help!
Finding a Contractor through BuildZoom
The best way to use BuildZoom is to let us recommend contractors for your remodeling projects.
Homeowners who hire through BuildZoom's free bidding system report high rates of satisfaction, and homeowners who research contractors online are twice as likely to be happy at the end of their project.
If you hire a contractor through BuildZoom, that contractor is accountable to us. We can enforce standards of behavior, mediate disputes, and guarantee satisfaction.
Read more about why hiring through BuildZoom is so effective.
Why should I trust BuildZoom
We built this site to help people find great contractors, and to help people avoid bad contractors. We take this incredibly seriously, and we have a zero tolerance policy for contractors who don't adhere to our standards.
1 million people use BuildZoom every month. Our business depends on their trust.
If a contractor does poor work, they will no longer receive leads from BuildZoom, and a negative review will be posted on their profile.

And then the snow melted....
Hi fellow garden nuts! We bought this "fabulous" place in December of last year. We knew it was going to take a ton of TLC both inside and out, as it was a neglected short sale. After renovation all winter (and still are) we are about to delve in the realm of the outside. OY! We pretty much tapped our entire budget in the inside after discovering a few choice structural, electrical, other problems so the yard is all DIY. Which is fine, we like yardwork. Or last place we owner we built the house and the yard up from scratch so there wasn't much of fixing other people's screw ups/neglect. I am unsure what to do with this mess so I ask kindly for your help. The house sits on a corner lot, the front of the house facing due north. We are at 5500 feet altitude in Idaho, growing season 4b or 5 depending in who you ask
Plans in the works:
Remove many aspen trees and the suckers
Pray the sprinkler system isn't too far gone
Prune down the potentilla along the front porch
Dethatching fertilizing the lawn
Edging out and mulching tree wells
What we need some help on:
As you can see there is a pea gravel path leading from the road to the house. It extends along the front of the porch both directions. Maybe some flagstone instead?
The large flower bed is not defined, Is a mix of ornamental grasses, escaped yard grass, various bushes or flowers and two small trees, all of which I hope to ID soon. The mulch that's left in it is terrible and after digging around it seems like a thin layer of newspaper is serving as landscape fabric.
I'm open to all suggestions. I'm not sure the look we are after. I love a mix of manicured and edged beds and walks but also love the natural cottage gardeny look, if that makes sense. I have oodles of more photos but this will only let me post one so I did a panorama from my neighbors driveway.
Edited to add that I envision a very colorful landscape, railing and hanging baskets. Long term possible doing something else with all of that lawn since I am not huge in grass, and there is enough of it in the back for the kids to run around on. We need to start small since we are over budget and time is a factor since we are also chasing an infant and kid around. For the immediate, I'd like it to look nice and like someone loves it - which we do!
I found some tags buried in the mulch. So far there is hakonechloa macra, little princess spires, and crimson pigmy barberry.
I'm all ears! And thank you:)

This is not worked out in any proportion but is a general theme that might be useful to you. You need a new walk of a better material. Pavers might work well for your budget, a good look and as a do-able DIY project. The walk should be at least 4' wide. Flare each end so that it looks more inviting and is more useful. The walk near the house should be at least as wide as the porch opening. Create a large semicircle landscape planting bed which encapsulates and flanks the house ... based on where some of the major plantings now exist. Possibly, create a smaller semicircle planting bed around the walk near the street. (I'm not speaking of how the bed should be planted, but just its overall shape.) The geometry would need to be worked out if the scheme appeals to you.
Thanks to you both so far. Yardaavark I like the look of the flaring path for sure. We will be looking at materials in a few weeks and seeing what is available and budget friendly.
I am thinking of possible replacing the potentiallas instead of trimming them. I love the look of knockout roses but since it's mostly shaded doubt they'd work. Any ideas on what might work there? Definitely needs some color. We do plan on replacing the green steel front door with a nice wooden one so this might make a difference in our design.
Here are some shrubs for shade from IL extension. They are probably zone 5 so you might want to double check the hardiness of the shrubs listed. Also check on the soil ph. I imagine you have basic soil, so no acid loving plants like mountain laurel, but that is just a guess.
With that lovely house, I can just imagine a few annabelle hydrangeas out front. Last year I planted an annabelle hydrangea behind paprika yarrow and I loved the combo. Then off to the side I had chocolate eupatorium, white obedience plant and variegated lysimachia. One of my better summer arrangements so far.
I would buy a couple bags of topsoil and establish a small 'nursery bed' off to the side. Buy (or trade or beg :) from other gardeners) small perennials as you can and nurse them along in the nursery bed. Let them grow to the point where you get a few divisions. Then when you are able to improve the soil and establish beds you will have clumps to divide and make a bigger impact. Also, I would start digging kitchen compost waste directly into the ground in areas where you want beds to eventually be. If you aren't ready to buy a lot of soil amendments, this is an easy way to slowly build up your soil. Also, nab neighbors leaves in the fall and mulch the site of future beds.
Can't see potentillas. Can only see pitch black shadow.
Check the local paver distributor's liquidation yard for budget friendly "seconds." You can probably get for 1/2 of regular price. Pickings will be limited, but for a walk, it would be pretty easy to make something out of limited. I suggest regular brick shape as an edge and same or half-brick as a field. Avoid complicated shapes or unusual thicknesses. Stick to basic.

In this design I was playing around with the concept of how people judge one another. I chose to do this in a paint-by-numbers style so that at first glance, people have no choice but to judge where which colors go. The purpose of which is to prove them wrong.
I tried this on several people, most of which assumed she had a pink shirt and blue eyes and blond hair, which is partially right, but not quite.
A person has to get to know this shirt before they realize she has pink and blue hair. At which point, they know her true colors.
This shirt is a physical representation of the personal judgments we make on others, especially those who appear different.
This is what the image would actually look like if she were colored in.
special thanks to johnston photography and Loriel Andre'a for their help and professionalism in my artistic process!

"Designmatters allows us to look at the world as a classroom with an eye toward changing it for the better. We aspire to redefine and expand the role of the artist and designer into one who is a catalyst for social change and innovation."Mariana Amatullo, Vice President, Designmatters Department
An engaged mode of art and design education that forms creative leaders, Designmatters provides the know-how and aspiration to shape the futures we truly desire for a more sustainable and equitable world.
Through research, advocacy and action, Designmatters engages, empowers and leads an ongoing exploration of art and design as a positive force in society.
Designmatters is integrated across all the educational departments at Art Center College of Design. Activities are organized at 3 key levels:
As an educational magnet and research division for the college, we conceive of projects for the curriculum, oversee the DM Concentration at the undergraduate level, and partner with Graduate Media Design Practices in the MDP/Field Track;
As an agent for social impact educational projects, we are a guarantor for implementation and assessment of projects led by students, faculty and alumni;
As an external relations center for strategic partnership building, we leverage art and design education as tool for positive change in the world.
As Art Center's social impact department, Designmatters is where local, national and global issues are encountered head-on. Participants are in the world, with the world.
Values that are embedded into the department are filtered into the curriculum, programs and projects. These values represent the spirit of Designmatters, and consist of:
Commitment: We are dedicated to looking at, confronting, researching and addressing real-world issues, and we endeavor to innovate through art and design.
Relevance: We strive to be a model for relevancy in education. We open doors for organizations to engage with artists and designers and see them as key contributors to their mission.
Engagement: We look at the world as our classroom, with an eye toward changing it for the better. Our students engage in experiential learning, giving them an insider's awareness of the challenges confronting communities around the block or around the world.
Collaboration: We view art and design as a space that invites collaboration with other disciplines, such as: development, science, business, engineering, and anthropology. It is in the intersection between distinct areas of inquiry that we often find the most opportunity for innovation.
Empathy: We believe that artists and designers can be uniquely compassionate as how they relate to the lives of others, and with that comes great responsibility.
Action-led outcomes: We see art and design students as having the gift of creativity and the skills to execute a vision, and when immersed in a real-world context, they can be empowered to become changemakers.
"Turning outward is key to the future of higher education in art and design. Designmatters provides the platform where that can happen."Lorne M. Buchman, President, Art Center College of Design
At the environmental, social and economic levels, this pillar addresses global challenges by meeting the needs of the present without compromising the future.
With a focus on mobilizing decision-making and provoking change at the policy level, this pillar explores communication tactics and advocacy strategies.
Touching on health issues that impact global populations, this pillar creates the designs of environments, products, systems of delivery, and communication portals.
Using innovative, market-based approaches to create social and environmental impact, this pillar guides a new generation of innovators who want to do well by doing good.
In the following blog post, Designmatters Coordinator, Carolline Kim gives her perspective on the recent Cumulus Executive Board visit to Art Center and her role in welcoming our international guests to Pasadena.
Carolline's prior work in the space of social impact and education have included positions as a Program Specialist for the national award-winning organization Girls Inc., where she facilitated after-school sessions for young girls in middle and high school in the context of several at-risk school sites throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District. Additionally, her work with students includes the international education sector, having taught at one of the largest English academies in Seoul, South Korea.
Design Attitude is a book with insights that challenge us to see a new phenomena we thought we understood. Michlewski offers a compelling portrayal of the professional culture of designers and the attitudes and values that shape their creative work. He makes an engaging argument that elucidates how designers promote innovation in organizations that will speak to practitioners and academics alike. – Mariana Amatullo, Co-founder and Vice President, Designmatters

Zweigle's White Hots.
I frequently nuke a Smart Dog or Tofurky Kielbasa at work for a quick lunch. I do use real mustard and relish.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Hebrew National.
Simply because I know what's in it. All the others are mystery meat. Well, I guess we generally know what's in them but some of it is stuff that wasn't meant to be consumed.
I'm w the All Beef crowd. Can't get Vienna Beef in East Coast. Boars Head makes an over-priced & too damn small but awfully tasty dog.
hate to burst your collective bubble, but even "all beef" tube steaks are "mystery meat" or whatever they scrape off the slaughter house floor.
It will hopefully come from just one kinda critter vs the pork, beef, chicken, whatever...they say there are two things you should never watch being made - laws & sausage. I agree w both.
The hotdogs they sell at Costco are the best in town here. You can get a soft drink and jumbo beef hotdog for $1.50. They are just plain good!

It's All About the Curricula: Designing a Student-Centered Program
On my career-academy journey, which has spanned the last twenty years, I have found that the most demanding and difficult aspect of career-academy development is the curricula. A successful career academy must include rigorous and relevant project-based learning.
If you are what you eat, then, using that same logic, teachers are what they teach. We should be incorporating meaty, nurturing project-based curriculum in our classes. Project-based learning, according to the Buck Institute for Education (BIE), is "a systematic teaching method that engages students in learning knowledge and skills through an extended inquiry process structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and tasks."
In the Health Careers Academy, which I pioneered in California in 1986, curricula that inspired and built on a student's interest was our goal for curriculum integration. We wanted curricula that promote discovery learning, curricula that not only covered the subject matter but also promoted depth and understanding, curricula that utilized real-world application and promoted critical thinking and problem solving -- in short, student-centered curricula.
Last year, I ran across curriculum that met all the above-mentioned goals: that of the Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies (Ford PAS). It's not about cars or manufacturing; it's about problem solving and critical thinking using the lens of business as the focus. Because career academies have the freedom to flavor academic subjects with a relevant career theme and enrich career and technical courses with rigorous, infused academic content, the Ford PAS curriculum is a perfect match. (Some of you readers may think business curriculum should not be included in a health academy, but let me make it clear that health care today is a business and that students who understand this fact have a better chance to succeed in the industry.)
If you want engaged students in your class, go to the FordPAS.org Web site and download the free curriculum.

In short:
Best to avoid other's camps generally, and for people who camp on rivers (especially heavily floated/fished)to stay at least 50 yards from the water edge, and keep the campsite size to the minimum.
it's kind of weird- once one of these travesties actually gets over five pages, you start rooting for page 10 and you have to drop a post in just cuz
kind of like peeing from the top of a cliff
Guns and camo.... check it out its even better
Whew, it is getting pretty hot these days. Glad I'm not wearing anything but socks in my waders!

Over-60s get in the swing at Kirkgate
Last updated at 20:45, Thursday, 29 March 2012
More than 60 people attended an afternoon of jazz and swing at the Kirkgate Centre in Cockermouth last Thursday, in the latest in a series of events aimed at the over-60s.
The series, organised by Arts and Allsorts, have featured film, theatre, music and other activities with refreshments laid on.
The idea is to provide entertainment and social events for older people, particularly those who feel isolated and unwilling to go out in the evenings.
Jazz band Swing Thing performed.
Janet Sheppard, 71, of St Helen's Street, said: "We came for the music and dancing and thoroughly enjoyed it. The last event was wonderful and we will be coming back."
David Holt, 66, of Dale View, Cockermouth, said: "I enjoy most sorts of music and I have been coming since the start."
Gilli Goodfellow, community engagement officer at the Kirkgate, and charity Age UK has organised the over-60s events.
She said: "We want to encourage more people to come along."
Future events include a fascinator hat workshop on April 19 and the film Ladies in Lavender on May 17.
For more information, call 01900 829966.

Greece and Italy History, Culture, and Government/Economics Greece Was first made up of independent city-states. Would eventually become part of the Roman Empire until the empire divided. Greece was the eastern half of this empire that split. This empire was known as the Byzantine Empire. Most spoke Greek and followed the eastern traditions of Christianity – Greek Orthodox Church 1453: Byzantine Empire conquered by Ottoman Turks, who were Islamic Greece During the late 1700s, the Greeks were gaining nationalism and liked the idea of independence as they began to develop a high level of interest and pride of their Greek history. 1829: Greece claims independence and formed a monarchy. 1967: Military officials took over the government. The government would fail in 1975 Since 1975: Parliamentary Democracy Greek Culture Most speak Greek and are apart of the Greek Orthodox church Every major town has a patron saint, where townspeople celebrate their saint every year through a festival. 2/3 of people live in cities with many people living in Athens, Greece's capital. Blend of old sections with narrow streets and newer areas that have shopping centers and high rise apartments. Coffee houses can be found here where friends often meet. Greece Government/Economics Parliamentary democracy President does ceremonial duties Prime Minister and his/her cabinet along with Parliament governs the country Voting is compulsory (mandatory) as failure to vote is against the law. Has fewer high-tech and service jobs than other countries in Western Europe Agriculture, tourism, shipping, and fishing are important Italy Was once apart of the Western Roman Empire (prior to the late 400s when this Empire fell). When the Empire split, the Italian Peninsula was split into small kingdoms and city-states. In 1796, France controlled much of this peninsula and helped improved conditions here Better roads, common currency, new laws were created. Italians saw the benefits of unity and wanted the same. Italy History Italian patriots unified Italy in 1861. Giuseppe Garibaldi and Camillo Cavour were 2 major patriots involved. Benito Mussolini – promoted fascism in Italy when he took over the government in 1920 Fascism – a political system based on fierce nationalism and strong central government led by a dictator. Mussolini was able to gain the trust of the Italians for his style of government as he promised the return of a powerful Roman Empire. Mussolini would face harsh defeats in World War II and tried to escape Italy. He was captured and killed while the government was replaced with a democracy. Italian Culture Speak Italian (official language). This is known as one of the romance languages. Romance Languages – come from Latin and are spoken in places that used to be part of the Roman Empire. Most are catholic as church leaders and the government were very tight. The Vatican is in Italy, the political and religious center of the Catholic Church. It is an independent country and it's the smallest country in the world. More Italian Culture Agricultural/Rural modern, urban society Becoming more diverse as of late Northern and Southern Italy are very different from each other. Northern: richer with more people working in manufacturing and different styles of food (risotto- rice dish). Southern: more people work in agriculture and pasta with tomato sauce food here All of Italy is heavy in sports as many enjoy watching race car driving, cycling, and soccer Italian Government Parliamentary Democracy where voters elect ¾ of parliament ¼ of Parliament is selected through a complex system that has all of the political parties represented in Parliament Prime Minister is head of government and is selected from the Political party that receives the most votes in Parliament. Due to the large number of political parties, some group together for a common purpose (coalition). This is often temporary and allows for Italian government to always be changing. Italian Economy Prosperous industrial nation today but was mostly an agricultural nation in the past. Famous for fashionable clothing, shoes, and CARS! EU member, helped Italy's economy grow. Due to EU membership, Italy was able to open new markets for its products. Northern Italy benefited the most as Southern Italy still remains largely farmland. Still working on bringing better prosperity to the southern parts

The JCC of the Greater Five Towns on Long Island is planning to expand its Play Golf program, which helps kids and young adults with disabilities learn the sport of golf as they get physical exercise and develop socialization skills.
Long Island resident Colon Roberts swings away in the JCC of the Greater Five Towns' Play Golf program for those with disabilities.
While there are many community sports programs available on Long Island for typical children, there are challenges to including children and young adults with disabilities. Thus, those with special needs often miss out on vital growth and socialization benefits that sports provide. The JCC of the Greater Five Towns is hoping to change that through its Play Golf program, created specifically to address the needs of youths and young adults with disabilities.
The Play Golf program, which began last fall at the Lawrence Yacht and Golf Club and is led by volunteers, has given participants ages 10-20 an opportunity to learn how to play the game side-by-side with typical golfers.
The program was created by David Weingarten, assistant executive director of the JCC and father of a son with special needs, and is funded by Sports for Youth, an initiative of UJA-Federation of New York.
"This program has been extremely well accepted," Weingarten says. "As a result of the program, we are helping these children grow their socialization skills, have fun, and get some exercise playing a sport they enjoy rather than sitting at home playing video games. Plus, we're giving the parents some respite and showing the community that these kids are great and important members of society."
Heading into 2014, the JCC hopes to continue the program and expand it to include other towns in its community.
"If we can really get the word out to all of the neighborhoods within our community, we can take this to another level and help so many more children," Weingarten says. "It's a great program with so many benefits. We'd love to see it continue to grow."

An injection molded plastic plumbing fixture comprised of a support body defining an inlet flow passage and a tubular spout molded to and projecting from the body. A discharge opening is defined at the projecting end of the spout and a flow passageway extends through the spout from the discharge opening to intersect the inlet flow passage. The flow passageway extends completely through the body thus reducing the mass of plastic material required to form the rear side of the body. A molded recess formed in the rear side of the body further reduces the amount of plastic required to form the body.

[57 ABSTRACT An injection molded plastic plumbing fixture comprised of a support body defining an inlet flow passage and a tubular spout molded to and projecting from the body. A discharge opening is defined at the projecting end of the spout and a flow passageway extends through the spout from the discharge opening to intersect the inlet flow passage. The flow passageway extends completely through the body thus reducing the mass of plastic material required to form the rear side of the body. A molded recess formed in the rear side of the body further reduces the amount of plastic required to form the body.
The flow passageway at the rear side of the support body is sealed by a closure which comprises a plug extending into the passageway and a seal between the plug and the passageway. The plug carries a flange or skirt which interfits with the body recess and is ultrasonically welded to the body so that the exterior of the rear side of the fixture is formed in part by the plug and skirt.
12 Claims, 12 Drawing Figures PATENTED "AR! 21974 SHEEIZBFZ MOLDED PLASTIC PLUMBING FIXTURE CROSS REFERENCED APPLICATION U. S. Pat. Application Ser. No. 234,073 entitled MIXING VALVE ASSEMBLY by Johnson et al., filed Mar. 13, 1972.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to plumbing fixtures and more particularly relates to plastic injection molded plumbing fixtures such as faucets or spouts.
2. The Prior Art There have been a number of past proposals for constructing plumbing fixtures from injection molded plastic materials. Such fixtures were relatively inexpensive, light, corrosion resistant and could be provided with metallized finishes which simulated the finishes of metal fixtures.
Production of plastic fixtures by injection molding has had the advantage of providing fixtures, such as spouts and faucets, which had complex shapes yet were composed of a relatively few parts which were assembled to complete the fixture. Thus, for example, the prior art has proposed the construction of spouts and faucets in which a support body and spout member were partly formed by one injection molded body and one or more additional molded parts were then fixed to the body and/or spout to complete the assembly. Assembly of the injection molded parts involved accurately registering the parts with each other, maintaining the parts in registry while connecting them together, and connecting the parts together in such a way that leakage of water from the fixture would not occur. These assembly steps were critical and tedious and increased manufacturing costs considerably.
Spouts and faucets which are assembled to sinks or wash basins in homes, offices, etc., must be designed in such a way that their external shape is aesthetically pleasing. As a consequence such fixtures have often been formed with portions having relatively thick wall sections or at least having that appearance. When the required external shape and appearance of the fixture dictated heavy wall thicknesses, injection molding the parts was frequently unsuccessful because unequal cooling rates of the plastic material forming the thick wall sections caused unsightly depressions in exterior surfaces of the fixtures.
This problem can be particularly pronounced in and around a support body on the side opposite a projecting spout member and tends to restrict the external appearance of the fixtures to relatively functional lines or, altematively, requires the use of relatively complex molds and fabrication and assembly of relatively numerous components to achieve a desired external appearance.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a new and improved injection molded plastic plumbing fixture such as a spout or faucet assembly, which is constructed and arranged so that the external configuration of the fixture may have a decorative nonfunctional appearance devoid of surface depressions caused by shrinkage of the plastic after molding and which is quickly and efficiently assembled.
According to one preferred construction of the invention a spout member is defined by a support body and a projecting tubular spout molded to the body. The body defines a fluid inlet passage while the spout defines a fluid discharge opening and a fluid passageway which intersects the inlet passage and extends to the discharge opening. The fluid passageway extends through the body and defines an end opening in the body remote from the discharge opening.
The passageway is formed by a mold core element and the extension of the passageway to the exterior of the body reduces the mass of material forming the body on its side opposite the spout.
The passageway end opening is blocked by a closure which comprises a molded plug element extending into the passageway, a fluid seal between the plug and the passageway, and a surface supported by the plug for engaging the body in such a way that the plug is prevented from being dislodged by differential pressure forces acting on the plug. The surface is preferably defined by a flange or skirt formed with the plug.
In one preferred embodiment the molded body defines a recess or cavity in its exterior surface which is formed at least partly by the passageway end opening. This recess further reduces the mass of plastic material required to form the body. The plug flange or skirt portion is shaped to interfit with the recess when the plug is positioned in the passageway. The external surfaces of the flange or skirt and the plug form an integral part of the exterior design configuration of the spout assembly and give the assembly a massive nonfunctional appearance.
In the illustrated construction the closure is snapped into place and bonded to the body by an ultrasonic weldment formed between the plug skirt and the body. Alternatively the plug skirt can be bonded to the body by an adhesive or can be simply snap-fitted in place in the recess and thus mechanically locked in place. This assembly is quickly and easily performed since the closure is self-aligning with the body recess and the welded or bonded connection need not be fluid tight.
A principal object of the present invention is the provision of a new and improved molded plastic plumbing fixture such as a faucet or a spout assembly which is quickly and easily assembled and comprises a molded support body and projecting tubular spout in which the mass of plastic material forming a support body is minimized to avoid the adverse effects of shrinkage of the plastic material after molding yet wherein the rearward side of the support body defines decorative nonfunctional lines.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description made with reference to the accompanying drawings which form part of the specification.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERREDFMBODIMENT A wash basin l6 employing a fixture constructed according to the present invention is illustrated in FIG. I. The wash basin It comprises valve operating handles 12 connected to a mixing valve assembly, which is not shown but can be of any suitable construction such as that disclosed in the above cross referenced application to Johnson et al.; a spout assembly 14 for directing water from the mixing valve into the wash basin; a drain assembly I6 located at the bottom of the wash basin; and a drain plug actuator I8 for opening and closing a drain.
A molded spout member 28 of the spout assembly 14 is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 and comprises a support body .36 and a projecting tubular spout 32 molded to the body portion 36. The spout member 28 is formed by a single piece of injection molded plastic having a nonfunctional external appearance except for its rearward side. As seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 the exterior of the spout member 28 is defined by planar rearwardly diverging side surfaces 34, triangular rearwardly diverging planar surfaces 36 which merge with the side surfaces 34, and a rearwardly tapering top surface 38. The triangular surfaces 36 merge with the top surface 38 along the top of the spout. The rearward end 40 of the spout member has its sides defined by the rearward ends of the surfaces 36, 38, has a generally triangular silhouette (see FIG. and is formed in part by a molded-in recess or cavity 41 which is described in greater detail presently. The forward or projecting end of the spout defines a generally rectangular front face 42.
In the illustrated spout member a generally cylindrical projection 44 is molded vertically over the support body and merges smoothly in the top surface 38 and the triangular surfaces 36. A circular top opening 45 is defined in the projection 44.
The support body 30 defines a cylindrical shouldered opening 50 by which the spout assembly is supported on the mixing valve and through which water flows from the mixing valve into the spout. The opening 50 is illustrated in FIGS. 3, 6 and 7 and comprises an internally threaded connector portion 52 which terminates in a radially inwardly projecting shoulder 54. A cylindrical inlet passage portion 56 extends upwardly from the shoulder 54 The spout 32 defines a projecting forward end 60 in which a discharge opening is formed by a short up- The flow passageway 66 is preferably generally cylindrical and is formed by a mold core extending through the spout member mold cavity from the rearward end of the body to the discharge passage mold core. The passageway 66 is defined by a lower cylindrically curved wall section 76 (see FIG. 4) and the remaining walls of the passageway 66 extend to the surfaces 34, 36, 38. These surfaces are related to each other so that the cross sectional thickness of the spout walls are relatively thin progressing along the length of the spout 32.
The side surfaces 34 are formed in part by molded stiffening ribs 72 which extend downwardly along opposite sides of the spout 32 throughout its length. The ribs 72 lend a massive appearance to the spout 32 while reducing the volume of plastic required to form the spout. The ribs 72 are curved near the juncture of the spout and body and merge into the body to provide additional rigidity to the spout and to hide the cylindrical lower wall of the spout from view.
The spout assembly 14 is constructed and arranged so that its rearward end 4 has a massive appearance yet is devoid of sections containing large masses of molded plastic which might otherwise shrink and create unsightly depressions. To this end the passageway 66 extends through the support body and defines an end opening 36 at the rearward end 40 of the support body (see FIG. 5). Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the recess 41 in the rearward end of the body 32 further reduces the mass of plastic material required for molding the body. As shown in FIG. 5, the recess 41 has a generally triangular shape. The base of the recess is defined by a semicylindrical surface 84 formed by the wall of the base opening 50 (see FIG. 6), generally planar lands 86-89 all of which preferably lie in a common plane tangent to the surface 84, and the end opening of the passageway 66. As shown in FIG. 6, the sides of the recess are formed by a wall portion of the passageway 66 and undercut downwardly diverging side walls 92, 94. The recess is open along the bottom of the rearward side of the spout member.
Referring now to FIG. 7, the spout assembly 14 is completed by a closure which seals the end opening 80, interfits with and covers the recess 41 and is fixed to the housing to prevent its dislodgment by differential pressure forces created by water flowing in the spout member. The closure 100 comprises a cylindrical plug element W2 which extends into the end opening 80. A seal is defined between the plug element 102 and the passageway 66 to prevent leakage of fluid from the passageway 66 past the plug element. As is best seen in FIG. 7 the seal 1% is formed by a resilient rubber or plastic ()-ring which is partially disposed in a ring groove 108 extending about the plug element. When the plug is inserted in the passageway 66 the O-ring is compressed against the base and sides of the ring groove and against the wall of the passageway to form a fluid tight seal between the plug and the passageway.
A plug flange or skirt 106 extends from the plug element and is received by the recess 41. As illustrated in F165. 8-10, the plug 102 and the plug flange or skirt 106 are preferably formed from single piece of molded plastic and define the same silhouette as is defined by the recess 41. The flange 106 is generally triangular, merges with the rearward end of the plug 102 and extends from the plug in a plane generally transverse to the direction of extent of the plug. The flange or skirt 106 defines opposite downwardly diverging side walls 110, 112 which are beveled to dove-tail with the undercut recess side walls 92, 94.
When the plug 102 is inserted into end opening 80 the skirt 106 snaps into place in the recess 41 so that the recess side walls 92, 94 grip the skirt. As the skirt is snapped into place the material forming the side walls 92,9 1 is resiliently deflected slightly to enable the skirt to enter the recess, after which the walls resiliently return toward their relaxed condition to grip the skirt 106 and maintain the closure 100 properly aligned with the spout member. Assembly of the closure 100 to the spout member 28 is easily accomplished manually.
in the preferred embodiment of the invention the closure 100 is bonded to the support body 30 to prevent the plug element 102 and seal 104 from being dislodged from the passageway 66 due to differential pressure forces acting on the plug. The inner face 116 of the skirt 106 is provided with ribs 118 which are V- shaped in cross section and extend along the sides of the surface 116, see FlG. 9. When the skirt is positioned in the recess 41, the ribs 118 engage respective ones of the lands 86-89 and the apexes of the ribs define contact lines along which the skirt 106 is ultrasonically welded to the support body. When the welding is completed the ribs are merged with the body material and the inner face 116 of the skirt 106 lies flush with the lands 86-89. The welding is accomplished by the use of conventional ultrasonic welding equipment which is therefore not illustrated.
Other means may be employed to maintain the skirt connected to the support body, such as by the application of an adhesive or solvent to bond the inner skirt face to the support body. As another alternative the snap fit between the skirt and the side walls of the recess can be relied on to maintain the skirt and plug in position during use of the spout.
As can be seen from FIGS. 7, 11 and 12 after assembly of the closure 100 to the spout member the rearward face of the plug and plug skirt is flush with the body material surrounding the recess 41 and forms a nonfunctional rearward wall of the body which is devoid of any substantial depressions caused by plastic shrinkage.
After the spout assembly 14 has been constructed it is readily connected to a wash basin such as that shown in FIG. 1. As is illustrated in FIG. 7 the mixing valve outlet is defined by an upwardly extending threaded nipple 120 which projects through a hole 122 in the sink top. The drain plug actuator comprises a tubular sleeve 124i surrounding an actuator rod 126, both of which project upwardly through the nipple 120. The upper end of the sleeve 124 is shouldered to provide a seat for an O-ring 128 which is disposed about the shoulder on the sleeve 124. A sealing washer 130 is seated about the upwardly facing annular end of the nipple 120.
The connector portion 52 of the support body 30 is threaded to the nipple and the spout assembly 14 is turned onto the nipple 120 with the actuating rod 126 aligned with and extending through the top opening 45 in the support body. The spout assembly 14 is threaded onto the nipple until the spout is oriented as desired with respect to the wash basin with the washer sealingly compressed between the shoulder 54 and the nipple 120 and the O-ring 128 sealingly engaged between the sleeve 124 and the support body. A suitable operating knob 132 can then be fixed to the projecting end of the actuating rod 126. It should be noted that the sleeve 124 is of substantially smaller diameter than the internal diameter of the nipple 120 and the inlet passage 56 so that substantially unrestricted flow of water from the mixing valve through the spout is assured.

Independence of Seas only suitable for people with children
3 swimming pools - childrens pool very large geared for young kids and babies. Second pool dominated by children geared for older kids so not really suitable for adults. ADULT ONLY POOL - Tiny 20 people and its packed unsuitable for swimming.
Alcholic Drinks very expensive - drinks package available but still very expensive 8 USD for a Pint of beer 7 - 12 USD Glass of wine. SPA prices much higher than UK Prices.
Dining rooms theatre and general interiors very cold due to air conditioning.
Theatre - Lower standard of entertainment in comparison to other cruises some highlights buy not many - on board singers and dance shows almost of amateur standard. Ships orchestra very good they saved the poor quality singing and dancing of the theatre shows.
Children allowed in most bars and theatre till late and allowed unsupervised in cinema
Not a relaxing cruise outside areas particularly were always congested. Sunbeds rare as usual.
Appears that the lowest More cost ports of call were chosen VIGO MALAGA ALICANTE inparticualar not very interesting or at all scenic. Ships entertainment for Sail offs was not very memorable
Food very good and staff friendly - ship very clean and well maintained. Cruise director was good and made the final 2 nights entertainment very memorable. Plenty of things to do but overall my least favourite cruise. Less

Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child's health or wellbeing. As methods to determine body fat directly are difficult, the diagnosis of obesity is often based on BMI. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity in children and its many adverse health effects it is being recognized as a serious public health concern. The term overweight rather than obese is often used in children as it is less stigmatizing.
Body mass index (BMI) is acceptable for determining obesity for children two years of age and older. The normal range for BMI in children vary with age and sex. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines obesity as a BMI greater than or equal to the 95th percentile. It has published tables for determining this in children.
The first problems to occur in obese children are usually emotional or psychological. Childhood obesity however can also lead to life-threatening conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep problems, cancer, and other disorders. Some of the other disorders would include liver disease, early puberty or menarche, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, skin infections, and asthma and other respiratory problems. Studies have shown that overweight children are more likely to grow up to be overweight adults. Obesity during adolescence has been found to increase mortality rates during adulthood.
