Time to refocus on bonds
Investors who suspect that a trend to higher interest rates or peaking bond prices is a real possibility must now decide if they should react.

A few weeks ago I went out on a limb and made a top down or macro call on the outlook for interest rates. My technical work suggested the long 30 year bull market in bonds is finally in a toping phase, or conversely the 30 years of declining bond yields may be in a bottoming phase.
The inflationary 1981 price peak in the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond yields was the buy-of-a-generation in bonds and the Euro crisis price trough of 2012 is likely the sell-of-a-generation in bonds.
There are three strong technical arguments to support a sell-of-a-generation in bonds call.
Long Term (10 + years): Last July the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond broke below and out of a long down trending 30-year price channel probably in reaction to the current Euro crisis. These trend accelerations (in this case downward) are technically rare and will occur at the end of a long trend up or down. In other words, these tend accelerations are not sustainable and a reversal or a big jump in the yield price is very probable over the next several weeks or months.
Intermediate Term (3 + years): The price of U.S. Treasury bonds that have a remaining maturity of 20 years or more as replicated by the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (TLT) exchange traded fund has completed a large 24 month bearish rising wedge formation. Technically a rising wedge or a diagonal triangle is a significant bearish reversal pattern.
Short Term (less than 1 year): The same iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF ($122) has just a few days ago dropped below the 50 day moving average for the first time since last February. The next major support level is the 200 day moving average at the $119 level.
Investors who suspect that a trend to higher interest rates or peaking bond prices is a real possibility must now decide if they should react and initiate one or more of three strategies.
Short the bond market:
Selling bonds short is difficult for a small investor because of the large capital required to borrow the bonds. A practical way would be to acquire an inverse bond ETF such as the NYSE listed ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (TBT) or the TSX listed Horizons BetaPro U.S. 30-yr Bond Bear Plus ETF (HTD).
The problem here is that a trend to higher interest rates could take months to unfold and these inverse products tend to underperform in trendless markets. I do recall the great yield spike of 1981 did not transition into a trend change until the price swing failure of mid 1984.
Reduce your exposure to long duration bonds:
According to Investopedia the term duration is a measurement of how long, in years, it takes for the price of a bond to be repaid by its internal cash flows. It is an important measure for investors to consider, as bonds with higher durations carry more risk and have higher price volatility than bonds with lower durations.
An investor who is depending on a bond portfolio, or an ETF bond portfolio, for income may wish to consider reducing exposure to long duration bonds (over five years) and direct the proceeds into shorter duration bonds. The down side would be the slight loss of income due to the lower yields on the shorter duration bonds. The upside would be to avoid a capital loss on the longer duration bonds should interest rates begin to rise.
One example of a bond ETF rebalance would be to reduce exposure to the iShares DEX Long Term Bond Index Fund (XLB) and direct the proceeds into the iShares DEX Short Term Bond Index Fund (XSB). An ideal compromise would be to consider the TSX listed iShares 1-5 Year Laddered Government Bond Index Fund (CLF).
Seek out the beneficiaries of a trend to higher interest rates:
Historically the financial sector has been a direct beneficiary of an early trend to higher long term interest rates. That is because they can lend at higher interest rates and yet still pay little for deposits.
The file insurers like the TSX listed Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC) are also direct beneficiaries of rising stock markets and rising interest rates. The key driver is the returns generated from their unearned premiums.
Our chart is the weekly closes of Manulife Financial spanning about 150 weeks. Note the lower lows of mid 2010 and late 2011. The recent slightly high low has completed a bullish double bottom reversal formation created when the stock transfers from weak to strong hands.
I assume the sellers did not do their technical homework.

Suspected Murderer Indicted
By AP
Tulsa, Ok – Fed'l panel indicts Okla. man for killing Indian
TULSA, Okla. (AP) Prosecutors say a federal grand jury at Tulsa has indicted a man from Hominy on a charge of murdering an Indian in Indian Country.
A news release from the US attorney's office Wednesday said 48-year-old Steven Thompson Keeling was indicted on a charge of murdering Edward Brown at Brown's home in Leonard.
The slaying occurred on Jan. 17 at Brown's house on a restricted Indian allotment, or in terms of the law, in Indian Country.
A guilty verdict could result in a sentence up to life in prison.

Sir: John Walsh reports in his diary today (5 October) how he was humiliated by Umberto Eco for not knowing who Robert Flood was.
He needn't worry. Since the Rosicrucian R.F. (1574-1637) wrote under the names Flud, Fludd, de Fluctibus, Rudolf Otreb, Joachim Frizius and (possibly) Alitophilus, it appears that he didn't know himself who he was.
Yours faithfully,

I worked for a while as a hospice chaplain. In that work I traveled all around north central Illinois, visiting the dying wherever they were: in their homes, in nursing homes, and in hospitals. I tried to give people what they needed. Sometimes it was a prayer or a song; more often, what they needed was just someone to talk to.
Some people wanted me to sing old hymns; some wanted me to read scripture; some wanted me to lead them in spontaneous prayer; some wanted me to pray the rosary with them. I did whatever I could. But one thing I wasn't really prepared for was the large number of ex-Christians I met in that work: people who had left their churches, and who really didn't want to hear any more religious BS. (Now that I'm a pastor, I naturally spend most of my time with people who are still coming to church, so I don't meet nearly as many ex-Christians!)
Many of these people had been damaged by their former churches. One had been hounded out of a church for divorcing and remarrying. One had been told that the reason his young daughter had died was because he hadn't prayed for her cure with sufficient faith. One gay man had been told that AIDS was his punishment from God. One man had been told that his deceased wife was unfortunately in hell, having never been baptized. And so on, and on, and on.
Someone argued with me today that "progressive" Christianity is just a snare and a delusion — that Christianity doesn't need to progress, because in its good old-fashioned form it was already just right. But my experience is quite the opposite. I've seen a lot of damage done to good people by good old-fashioned Christianity. My feeling is, we have to help it do better.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Time for a Manitobans-first job policy
BRANDON -- For the past several months, the "help wanted" and "careers" sections of western Manitoba newspapers have been jammed with advertisements of job openings with employers located throughout the region.
A boom is happening and local employers are struggling with a shortage of workers.
Many Westman businesses have "help wanted" signs in their windows.
Cashiers at a major Brandon retailer are putting flyers listing all of the store's job openings into customers' bags.
Businesses active in Westman's booming oil industry are even running regular radio advertisements, seeking new employees. One company is offering "easy $70,000" salaries to people with Class 1 driver's licences.
These are permanent jobs, offering pay equal or better than that being paid anywhere else in the country. They are available in almost every sector of the local economy, but nobody is applying for them.
In response to the lack of local applicants, Westman employers have expanded their search for workers to other provinces and even other countries.
That explains why a large percentage of the foreign workers recruited through the provincial nominee immigration program end up in Westman each year.
There's something wrong with this picture. Given Manitoba's struggles with chronic unemployment and under-employment in some areas of the province, why are workers being imported to work in areas of the province where unemployment is low?
The situation is similar to that in British Columbia, where that province's government is considering a plan to offer welfare recipients the opportunity to receive training and then relocate to areas facing severe labour shortages.
B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon believes the program would ultimately be cost-free for his government, with the travel and training costs being offset by the social assistance savings. "You can get people off of welfare, which is costing government money, and put them into a job," he says.
Fort Nelson Mayor Bill Streeper supports the plan, saying people could start at $18 an hour in the local oil industry after basic training and be earning $100,000 annually in five years.
"In the oilfield, and with the lack of people, within 10 years everybody would be paying more money back in income tax than what the cost was for the program," he says.
If you are wondering why Manitoba's NDP government hasn't implemented a similar plan to address Westman's labour demand, the response of B.C.'s New Democrats may offer a hint.
They condemn the plan as an attack on the poor. Former B.C. NDP leader Carole James, now the party's social development critic, complains the program wouldn't address the underlying problems that lead some people into social assistance, such as addiction and mental illness.
"Giving them a ticket to move up north is not going to solve the poverty struggles and the education struggles that those individuals are facing," she argues.
In James' orange-coloured world, welfare recipients are both helpless and hopeless, doomed to a lifetime of dependency on the public dole.
James and her NDP colleagues are apparently oblivious of the fact treatable addictions and mental-health issues need not be lifetime impediments to employment, that the objective of skills training is to overcome gaps in a person's education, and that a healthy pay cheque is the best antidote to poverty.
Manitoba's NDP government can argue James does not speak for them, but they have had 12 years to implement a program such as that proposed in B.C. and they have not done so.
Instead of adopting a strategy aimed at encouraging and enabling Manitobans living on social assistance to help reduce Westman's labor shortage, the Selinger government brags about the success of the provincial immigrant worker program. While thousands of employable Manitobans collect welfare, high-paying jobs in and around Brandon are being filled by non-Manitoban workers.
The vast majority of welfare recipients take no pride in the fact they depend on handouts from taxpayers.
They aspire to a better life for themselves and their families. That path starts with a good job -- and there is no shortage of good jobs waiting in Westman.
Manitoba's NDP claims to care about the plight of the less fortunate in our society, but it's time for them to back up their rhetoric with tangible action.
It's time for a plan to help put these people back to work.

Girlwoodby Claire Dean
The first and last kiss Polly received from her sister was as contrary as Bree herself. Lightweight but intense, a kiss that was supposed to impart some deep meaning but offer zero affection, a kiss that was retracted nearly before it began. It was past midnight, and Polly was not only too tired to open her eyes, she was so sick of her stoned, skeletal, sixteen-year-old sister that she didnt even acknowledge Bree was there.
It was just like Bree to ruin Pollys favorite hour, the only time she had left to swim with mermaids or imagine herself flying without Bree asking her if she was having some kind of fit. Polly kept her eyes shut tight and pictured a magical woodland creature instead of her sister, the flutter of a fairys kiss instead of Brees.
She stuck to this vision, even when the fairy didnt smell like cedar or honeysuckle but like an unwashed teenager and marijuana smoke. The kiss was even more far-fetched than fairies, if you asked Polly. It had been months since Bree had entered Pollys room except to steal cash. In fact, Polly couldnt remember the last time her sister had said anything to her aside from Shut up" or Freak" or, when Polly had caught her snorting up a line of white powder, If you tell Mom, Ill kill you."
*** Not too long ago, things had been different. Bree had been the pretty, pampered, delicate one, the blond-haired, blue-eyed doll, and Polly her younger, tougher, dirtier accomplice. The four-year age difference hadnt seemed so important then, since they both liked to draw and dance and, mostly, play in the woods behind their house. Beneath the solemn pines and flashy cottonwoods, Bree crowned herself princess of the green kingdom and made Polly her woodland fairy—the one who must constantly be on guard to save her sister from dragons, trolls, and other assorted dangers. Polly never minded. She was strong, and Bree was beautiful. They each had their place.
But then Bree turned sixteen, and declared such games pathetic. The new Evil Bree stopped talking to Polly entirely and hid like a mole in her dark bedroom, coming out only when their mom confronted her with the pills shed found in her coat pocket or when Aaron Sykes showed up. Bree braved daylight for her boyfriend, maybe because Aaron Sykes brought a cloud with him everywhere he went. He wore all black and had a halo of darkness around his head that stretched even farther, a bleakness that gave Polly the creeps. He mumbled and smelled funny, and Pollys parents said they didnt trust him, which instantly made Bree love him more.
As soon as she started dating him, Bree began to dress like Aaron, hold her cigarette between her thumb and forefinger the way he did, sample his favorite drugs. It took no time at all to complete her transformation from girl to Aarons shadow, as if love wasnt measured in goodness and devotion but in how much youd give up for a person, how far youd sink.
*** At least the bottom came quickly. Three months after they started going out, Aaron dumped Bree for another girl-shadow, and Bree came home in tears. Trembling, inconsolable, Bree became the princess in need of saving again, except that now Polly couldnt help her anymore, and she didnt want to. They might have been sisters, but Bree had made it clear they were going it alone.
Pollys mother said, Thank God," but in truth after the breakup things only got worse. Bree may have lost the boyfriend but she kept his bad habits. She still wore black, ditched school, took even riskier drugs, like she was really proving her love now, disintegrating over someone who didnt even want her. Evil Bree was still pretty as a doll, but the horror-film kind—an inanimate object that comes to life for the sole purpose of destroying everything.
Now the mattress hardly budged as Bree sat on the bed. After Aaron, she had started losing weight. Down, down, down, like Alice through the rabbit hole, until she was a hundred pounds, starting to grow fur like an animal fighting to keep warm, and suddenly popular. Her phone rang day and night; even thugs like Brad Meyer called to ask her out. Now that Bree was bent on destroying herself, she was apparently a girl worth getting to know.
*** Polly?"
Polly peeked out through half-closed lids when the fairy began to cry. Bree clasped a handful of dandelion stems, their puffy white seeds long gone now that fall had come on. Maybe shed listened to their grandmother after all and knew that instead of banishing dandelions from the lawn, you could eat the delicious young leaves or cure almost anything with the milky juice in the root.
Polly said nothing. There were no words left except cruel ones, and Polly had said all of those.
Polly?" the fairy said once more. You know when you love someone, you think theyll never hurt you? Its not true, Polly. When Aarooooon left me, I wished Id died."
Polly squeezed her eyes shut again. She wished she could shut her ears, too. She didnt want to hear this. Didnt Bree get that? It was like Bree kept dragging her onto a roller coaster she wasnt tall enough to ride.
Think of fairies, Polly thought. Imagine the one on the bed flying away.

Can we keep the system of what just happened? Theklein can say he's ready for another and the first reply afterwards can be the album? If not its just going to be a list of albums in here. Though the talking heads is a good pick, he needs to listen to Lou Reed next. Too good.
I like the way you think, ods..
Solution: If Nathan would like he can update the first page so that I along with everyone else can keep track of what you want me to review. I will do Lou Reed and the Talking Heads' reviews tomorrow.
Passion Pit and Lady Gaga are 2 artists I refuse to review, I think that's it
After those could you review Orbital - Wonky
My pick is My Morning Jacket's Z.
Kriss Kross - Totally Krossed Out
klein can you talk about how you're listening to these albums? (ie headphones, speakers, what kind, etc)
How old do you think theklein is?
Early 20's?
Can we get this thread stickied?

*based upon tedious fact checking.
Terrible, absolutely terrible. I still think I have that awful ringing in my ears. That album was so bad I had to take a break halfway through. It sounded like a mush of bagpipes, ringings, and shrieks. The album lacks creativity and was definitely a joke. I would not listen to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music ever again. That was hell
My rating: 0.5
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Album starts off pretty groovy and the bass kills in each song. I hope they played this record in the clubs for all the kids. Towards the end the songs lose a little bit of their magic. "Listening Wind" wasn't as good as everything else. "Once in a Lifetime" was the only song I knew going into Remain in Light. I learned Talking Heads have some great songs that aren't just the hits. David Byrne sounds great and this album brought me back to a time period I never lived in. Great album.
My rating: 8.5
my vote is for Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective.

The hotel is pleasant, clean.Posted Mar 20, 2015
Pros: Overall the place is very good.
Cons: I believe having a contract with the restaurant is making the hotel lower the reputation of the very nice hotel.
The bathroom says hang the towel and let it dry. So it can be reuse? That is not sanitary. When it used by someone, wash again. The entry door is bumping to the closet door and bathroom door. Besides that it is alright. The restaurant was not good I ordered the linguini with shrimp it was alright but there was no sauce just boiled noodle with dry tomato, shrimp, no sauce the same as my husband food a waste of money, we should have eaten in a regular pizza place. Over all the restaurant was lousy. Also I took the freight elevator by mistake to go down, it did not move so I keep on pressing the button until someone came in and punch the code and went down, he was looking at me and he said where I am going, I told him down the lobby out, the guy said come to me going inside the storage, I said I am going there with you. So I told him bring me back to the fourth floor, so I ask him where is the other elevator, he said doe not know and he does not work there, why he knows the code to run the elevator. I was almost assaulted that elevator was not safe. I was smart enough to tell him I am not going there with him and he just looked at me up and down because I was all dress up for special church service and that was around 4:30 AM and my husband was looking for me. God saved me from that man. Young man around late twenties small and a little bit skinny build with a hat. I believed he works there. What an experience.

Nice hotel outside the cityPosted Jan 7, 2015
A friend and I came up for New Years. We didn't wanna break the bank staying in the city so we booked our nights here. Price was excellent for the time of year. The little time we were there our stay was welcomed nd the staff was very friendly. The only down fall was the distance to the ferry. But other than that I will be booking here again in the future.

Pros: The atmosphere, the exerciser room, the fire place downstairs in the lobby
Cons: The staff caring about no parking on weekends for the paying customers.

My experience would of been great if they had parking on the weekends. However they had parties going on, and did not make sure the guests that were paying to stay there had parking. There breakfast prices were high.

Noose tied on Ole Miss integration statue - 0 Comments
OXFORD, Miss. — The FBI on Tuesday was helping investigate who tied a noose around the neck of a University of Mississippi statue of James Meredith, who, in 1962, became the first black student to enroll in the then all-white Southern college.
University police on Sunday morning found the rope noose and, on the statue's face, a pre-2003 Georgia state flag with a Confederate battle symbol, said campus police Chief Calvin Sellers. Two men were seen near the statue early Sunday and investigators were looking at surveillance footage.

Jeffery Court Pietra Opus Fire & Ice Quartz
Thinking of using this for my backsplash after seeing the awesome photos on this forum. What color grout did you use? Can you give me a ballpark figure as to what to expect to pay per square foot? Is it too difficult to DIY? Or will I need a pro? Does it need to be sealed? How difficult is it to keep clean?
All responses appreciated!
It's pretty, but I would imagine that even if you sealed it, it would be a nightmare to keep clean if you cook anything that would splatter like tomato sauce or anything with any oil at all.
Hopefully someone that has it can step forward and give you better info.
I thought of that too but the one good thing is that I have a Bosch free standing range so there is a metal backsplash (or whatever you call that back part of the range!) so that should help somewhat. Also, in the interest of full disclosure, compared to most people on this forum, I don't cook a lot!
I would definitely be interested in hearing from people who have already installed this tile to hear about how it is to clean.
Got your email Joey but will reply here for everyone to read.
What color grout did you use? Quartz
Can you give me a ballpark figure as to what to expect to pay per square foot? About $15 a square foot not including installation
Is it too difficult to DIY? Or will I need a pro? We're not DIYers but there have been a few people here on the Kitchen forum who have installed it themselves. The tiles come in an approx 1 foot squares with white net backing. White thin set must be used to ensure the netting is not visible. We replaced several of the clear glass pieces with a darker burnt umber color glass. Our supplier no longer carries that size glass pieces. Others here have had trouble finding replacement glass as well. But after seeing other F&I kitchens, I think the b/s looks fine without replacement glass.
Does it need to be sealed? We sealed ours but did not 'enhance' it. The sealing did not change the tile color or brightness but enhanced tiles I've seen are darker/brighter looking
How difficult is it to keep clean? With no kids at home, we do not cook a lot so I'll have to refer you to someone else who does.
Hope that helps some.
Jodi: Thanks so much for replying! Yours was the first kitchen that I noticed with this tile and it was love at first sight! There are 2 places in Pittsburgh that carries F&I and I'm hoping to stop there within the next few weeks to finalize things. Thanks again for your help and I'll post photos once my kitchen remodel is complete.
I've had fire and ice for over a year. We did not enhance but do seal 2 times per year. If you don't it begins to look chalky. It doesn't take long to seal it. 30 minutes at most. I replaced some glass with black and I did a bake on technique to reach a burgandy color which I desired. It turned out beautiful. My husband is no pro but installed ours. He is a talented person and built most of our home. Below is a link while we were in the process of the remodel. Hope this helps. Can't remember my grout color. Sorry. Here's a link
Here is a link that might be useful: kks kitchen
kks kitchen: Thanks so much for the info and link! Your kitchen is lovely. I still haven't decided whether or not I'm going to try to install it myself - the deciding factor maybe the the labor cost to have a pro do it.
I will post photos when my kitchen is all done (hopefully within a month.)
Thanks again!

Recently, my husband and I were on an 800 mile cross country drive returning our oldest son to college. The Sunday before the drive I had slipped and fallen, resulting in an injury to my rotator cuff; I also had cystitis (an annoying and uncomfortable irritation of the bladder); and my husband was having an arthritic flare, his right wrist throbbing. A few days prior to that our home was flooded accidentally when a bathroom faucet overflowed; shorting out our electrical system and collapsing the kitchen ceiling. I also had a recent job promotion with enormous responsibilities. We actually left home 4 hours later than planned because I had to go to work to complete some important tasks.

Coping in the Courtroom — and in Life
I assisted a young girl who was sex trafficked and helped her to overcome barriers with testifying in criminal court against her predators and they received maximum sentences as a direct result of my training through The Center for Mind-Body Medicine.

Shaking & Dancing Challenge
Shaking & Dancing Meditation has been my favorite exercise since I learned it in the Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training Program. To me, it's a dynamic and effective method that immediately changes one's state of mind.
In the groups that I have led, I have noticed that it's one of the exercises that the participants enjoy and do the most in their daily lives. The group members who have practiced it say they feel more energized and happier, at least during the day they do it. It is easily practiced and duration can depend on the time and availability of each person.
TechnoStress in the Sauna
The other day after my workout, I headed to the sauna to savor some quiet time to detox and unwind. Shortly after I got settled in to my warm cocoon and a meditative state, another woman came in to do the same, or so I thought. Wrapped in her terry cloth robe, she immediately reached into her pocket, pulled out her smartphone and began texting away.
Fear or Trust. You Choose.
Many things have happened lately to make me fearful of others and of life itself. My world seems to be filled with people who hold unfounded grudges that baffle me and choose to say vindictive things for no other reason than spite. We've had deaths and serious illnesses, difficult medical prognoses. Family members whose actions are more about greed than family values. Job losses and insecurity. It's been difficult to hold on to the trust and acceptance that got me through past challenges. I see fear peeking out of every corner, tugging at me, knocking on the door, enticing me to believe that the world is full of anger, resentment, greed and struggles. Fear is ready to haunt me, settle into my stomach and my bones. In fact, I can already feel it in my body, aching and throbbing.
Shame is an inevitable component of binge eating disorder, so although it's the most common of eating disorders, it's rarely discussed.
Binging was a carefully hidden secret for me since my early teen years. I remember getting upset over a running injury and devouring a chocolate cake. Not a piece of cake — a whole chocolate cake — and it was still mostly frozen. Binging was my normal; I didn't believe change was possible. So even as I got degrees in nutrition and ate more nourishing foods, there were still nights where I'd polish off a can of frosting, and suffer through the inevitable self-loathing hangover.
Mind, Body, Spirit!
I am facilitating my second Mind-Body Skills Group since completing both the Advanced Mind-Body Medicine and Food As Medicine courses. The first group started with eight members and ended with a core of four, who have since held two reunions with a third on the horizon. During the time between reunions these individuals have no contact except through me and yet they want to keep in touch, so every few months we get together for lunch.

Soft Belly
In June of 2012 I attended the Center's Food As Medicine conference in Bethesda, MD. At the time, I was unfamiliar with the Center, so I was not sure what to expect. This conference started unlike so many other conferences I have attended. Instead of jumping right in because there would be lots of ground to cover in a short period of time, Dr. Jim Gordon began with a relaxation breathing exercise called "soft belly," a slow, deep breathing meditation that allows the belly to rise when breathing in and fall when breathing out.The sole focus should be on the image of a soft, relaxed belly. He instructed us to say to ourselves "soft" as we inhaled and "belly" as we exhaled. We started every day of the conference in this fashion. I will admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, as I wondered what breathing had to do with food and when were we going to get to the good stuff. But by day three of the conference I found myself ready to start the day relaxed; I was looking forward to "soft belly!"

A Limitless Life
When I was growing up, my Dad always told me that I could do anything, be anything. You just had to work hard enough for it. Although that put a great deal of pressure on me to strive for excellence (and probably accounted for years of therapy), it also gave me great confidence. For me, there were absolutely no limits in life.

Tools for Packing Away the Pain
Several years ago, the Universe forced me to examine the "scar tissue" surrounding my heart, the direct result of a chronic American illness– racism. The multiple re-injuries to this wound affected every aspect of my existence, from family interactions, to childhood friendships, to personal and professional goals. Tragically, it also affected my own self-image.

2006 Chrysler 300 Door Handle
We ordered a replacement door handle for our 2006 Chrysler 300C when someone tried to break in and broke the handle off. The order arrived right on schedule and looked fine at first glance. I watched a iTube video on how to remove the door panel and proceeded to replace the handle. The new handle looks perfect and feels just like an OEM piece. Funny part is two days after replacing it our daughter broke the rear passenger handle!! Thanks for the good product. Jason
My part cost 1/4 of the dealer cost. Works great. So glad I found this website. Highly recommend!
Very satisfied with the product. .good quality and good price. Thank you parts geek

Product received timely! Being without a door handle I VERY MUCH appreciated this. So far quality is up to standard. Replacement installed with no issues. Very satisfied!

Year Opened: 1972 | Field Surface: Artificial Turf
Martin Stadium opened in September 1972, more than two years after old Rogers Field, with its wooden bleachers, was damaged by a fire thought to be arson (although nobody was ever charged). The stadium got a generous gift from Dan Martin, who contributed to the fund on behalf of his father, former Washington Gov. Clarence D. Martin.
In 1979, the track around the field was removed and the field was lowered 16 feet, the first such expansion of any college stadium in the country. This enabled 12,000 seats to be added around the stadium. Martin Stadium is undergoing a renovation, adding luxury seating and a 100,000-square-foot building for football headquarters.
Washington State started using Cougars as its nickname in 1919. The first live Cougar cub appeared as a mascot in 1927, having been presented by Gov. Roland Hartley to WSU students. Butch T. Cougar was named after Herbert "Butch" Meeker, a WSU football star. Washington State had live cougars as mascots until 1978, when Butch VI died. Today, the university uses the costumed Butch T. Cougar for sporting events and as a school ambassador.
The Victory Bell on the west side of the Alumni Centre is rung after each Cougars victory in the keys of G and C, supposedly for "Go Cougs."
The Cougar Prowl is the name given to the traditional pregame walk of the players to the stadium from the Cougar Pride statue, located next to the WSU athletic ticket office.

Outlet height placement question
I'm in the middle of a bathroom renovation (1973 home), and I'm not thrilled with the fact that the light switch and outlet are at different heights. The light switch was previously at the same level as the switch, but the electrician moved it so the bottom of it is 48" from the floor.
I asked the GC about the outlet height, and he said it's like that because of the code. Even if it is the code, I thinking of having him get the electrician to move it regardless. The side of the vanity will be about 9" away from that wall, so I don't see how that would have anything to do with the outlet.
Do you see anything unusual about the outlet placement, or any reason why it can't physically be moved? If I'm going to have a change I need to do it before the painting starts, and the permanent switches and outlet are installed.
Here is a link that might be useful: Also posted in bathrooms forum.
Perhaps your electrician sees something in your bath that I do not see. Article 210.52(D) of the NEC specifies that at least one receptacle outlet shall be installed within 3 ft. of the outside edge of each basin. If installed on the side or front of the basin cabinet, it must not be more than 12" below the countertop. So long as it meets these specifications, it can be placed as you desire. If he argues, hire someone else.
i see one code violation and a possible second. the code requires that all recs in dwelling units be listed tamper resistant. also, the rec is not a gfi, but it could be a followthrough or on a gfi breaker. i hope you do not have a fpe or zinsco/sylvania panel.
Really? You know for a fact that the original poster's location has already adopted the 2008 code? I would be more concerned that the receptacle has a required 20 amp circuit back to the panel or is only on a 20 amp circuit with other bathroom outlets. I think I see a 12/2 coming into the receptacle but it also looks like it continues on to the switches that are feeding white romex. Likely 14/2 unless the wire is from back when 12/2 was commonly white. Then again the picture is not that clear to tell either.
My county has adopted the 2008 code. There are some amendments, but none changing the height or distance. Our panel is Square D. The currently installed items are temporary for the GC to use. Permanent ones, including a GFCI, will be installed later.
We had a single light switch, but will have four. If I remember correctly, it was raised in order to be the same height as the rest of the switches in the house. Maybe GC "thinks" the outlet was left lower because of the code. I'll have him ask the electrician to be sure.
I could be wrong here but aren't only the receptacles required to be on a dedicated 20 amp circuit? Can't lighting be on another circuit?
The picture showing the cable isn't the best but my guess is that yellow cable appears to be going to the single gang box.
Looks to me that the "yellow" cable comes up from the floor in the corner (right side of picture). Across to the center (single) stud and down the right side of that stud to the single gang box with the receptacle. From there it appears to head back up, through the center stud and into of the middle of the 3-gang box.
I believe a dedicated 20-amp circuit can be used for both receptacles and lighting, provided it serves only a single bathroom. I would think it would be acceptable for another, in this case, 15-amp circuit to serve only lighting in the same bathroom. Or am I wrong.
Yes I know the lighting can be on the same 20 amp circuit with the receptacle. My question is: "Does the 20 amp circuit from the receptacle feed lighting that is wired with 14/2?" If that is the case, the 14/2 lighting wiring is being protected by a 20 amp breaker.
Does the 20 amp circuit from the receptacle feed lighting that is wired with 14/2?" If that is the case, the 14/2 lighting wiring is being protected by a 20 amp breaker.
Good question. We've got a piece of white cable coming in from the right and going to the 3-gang box. This isn't new construction (house built '73) so the cable could be 14 or 12 gauge.
How about this. The old Romex served the bathroom and quite likely a bunch of other stuff. The electrician leaves the old work in place and adds a new 20 amp circuit to serve the receptacle and perhaps some new lighting.
I really don't think we have enough information to accurately determine anything.

Siam Ruby
I just planted a Siam Ruby a couple of days ago and after doing some research, I'm a little worried about it making it through the winter. I guess this variety seems to be more tender to cold temps?
I really didn't want to get such a tender tropical, but it was really cheap for a 4' tall plant, I only paid $12. Plus I didn't know how sensitive it really was.
The lady at the nursery said just to heavily mulch it and wrap something around the bottom of the trunk. Will this be enough?
I'm new to gardening and have never had plants to take care of till now. If it would be best to bring it in over winter, how exactly do I do that? Put it in a pot and only water once a month? Do I cut it back or anything? I would keep it in my sunroom which doesn't have central heating, but there's a window unit in there, should I turn this on once a day or over night to keep it warm in there?
Sorry for all the questions, but I hate to kill plants, no matter how cheap they are! Thanks for any advice!
Funny I should see this post on the Siam Ruby Red. I was recently at a garden center and they had nice-sized bananas for only $5.00. I bought the Musa zebrina and passed on the Siam Red. I could have kicked myself (they also had basjoos, and a few dwarfs--which I have). I do believe that the Siam is rather tender (compared to Orinocos or Himalayans for example). I'm not sure if it would overwinter in your area (mulched and kept dry??). If I had doubt, I'd just lift them before frost and keep them protected over winter. I cut the leaves off mine and just store the rhizome with its trunk (which I also cut down to save space). Or you could pot it up, bring it inside and continue growing as a houseplant--if you have the sun and space! If you let the plant go dormant for the Winter, keep the rhizomes in a mild/dry area (guessing above 50 F). I check them once or twice over the course of the Winter to make sure they don't completely dry out but that's it. Good luck! PS., I had to order one of these beauties this morning!
Well, mine looks kinda wimpy. Not sure why I bought it other than really wanting to bring something home, being rushed because it was the nursery's closing time (I didn't know the hours), and the price.
I'm trying to turn the area around my hot tub into a tropical look, but I really didn't want to get anything truly tropical that I'd have to baby. Oh well!
I just hope it starts growing and looking better. How long should I wait to start to fertilizing? I also know these things like water so I've been watering it every day. That's not too much is it?
I hose every down outside--sometimes twice a day if it's extremely hot--so, no it shouldn't be too much. I would be fertilizing it now--bananas are heavy feeders. If you want tropical and like bananas, you should try to grow Musa basjoos or the Chinese yellow banana--both will come up ever year if only mulched--they're hardy to zone 7 (but will die down after the first moderate frost). The Chinese yellow are not tall, but they do readily produce long-lasting, big, yellow flowers--they also sucker readily so you can propagate them. I would also try to create that tropical look with plants that will be evergreen in your area so you can enjoy the hot tub in the Winter. Not sure if they would be appropriate for S.A. Texas but perhaps would consider Little Gem Magnoilas, Acuba japonica, camellias, Fatsias, clumping bamboos, windmill palms, yuccas, and maybe a loquat tree. The bananas can always be used seasonally in the warmer months.

The digging of the western margin of Pankaja Mill Road to widen it has damaged drinking water supply pipes and telephone lines.
An excavator ploughed through the lines on Wednesday, disrupting water supply and telephone services.
Water leaking from a damaged line stagnates in a pit in front of Pankaja Mill.
The State Highways Department is carrying out the widening of the arterial road in view of the World Classical Tamil Conference in June.
This is one of the more than 70 roads targeted for improvements.
While residents blamed this on the lack of co-ordination between the State Highways, the Coimbatore Corporation and the telephone services providers, official sources in the road work implementing agency said on Thursday that most of the lines were laid closer to the road surface, in violation of the norm that all lines must pass about three-and-a-half feet below it.
An official said some water and telephone lines were only a foot deep. It was not fair to expect the person operating the excavator to know of this.
To solve the present problem, the department had stopped the road work in the affected area.
It would resume after the lines were laid deeper. Some of the residents were already doing it, the official said.
Resident of a nearby layout and member of Citizens' Voice Club D. Kondaswamy said the implementing agency has to be wary of such problems as people could be inconvenienced severely by disruption in the supply of water.
"Power supply to some streetlights has also been disrupted," he said.
The affected area, in Ward 22 of the Corporation, would have to struggle for water for a few days if the lines restoration work was not prompt, he pointed out. Councillor of the ward T.R. Gomathy said efforts were being made to get the supply restored.
Till the lines were repaired, alternative measures such as the supply of water in tankers could be worked out.
On why people and workers did not follow the norm of laying the lines three-and-a-half feet, the councillor said this was because of poor monitoring by officials.
