I knew Ariel was badass smart, but I disagree about her ass being bad, but she is correct about her eyes, also her lips are very sexy. I love that she has not disfigured her body with stupid tattoos and piercings. She has a real woman's body, with a real figure, and legs that have shape. I like her voice and her sexy laugh, and that she is normal in real life, maybe the word she was looking for was boring, but I don't think she could be boring. I enjoy all her videos and pictures.

You can rely on your team to send out reminders, but I prefer using a volunteer management tool ( VolunteerSpot is free and really easy!) or an automated service like a newsletter tool ( Feedblitz is great!). Both of these tools can be used to automatically send reminders to volunteers a few days before your event so that they remember to show up.Something more interesting came upIf "something more important came up" it means that volunteers are not engaged enough with your cause. Even the most notable cause in the world will experience the flake rate if volunteers don't feel that 1: They are a part of something bigger, and 2: They are important to the cause.

I got the knitting basic dvd and that helped a ton! I was able to watch the spots where I was having trouble over and over again but I did noticed that while the dvd covered everything else, nothing was said about binding off. Will there be a clip in the videos covering the different techniques? Which of the series covers that topic best? Will it be covered in a workshop dvd?

PS> I've made a sampler scarf I suppose it could be called. I think my efforts are laughable but slowly getting better as I work on it. I've done garter, stockinette/reverse stockinette, 2 by 2 ribbing, and am working on moss stitch (or seed stitch, not sure which is the correct term). Any suggestions on the next stitch or should I just repeat the pattern in reverse and call it done?
If you search "you tube" for any knitting techniques you should be able to find helpful videos anytime, day or night.
And all the women who were wise of heart spun with their hands, and they kept bringing as yarn the blue thread and the wool dyed reddish purple, the coccus scarlet material and the fine linen. Ex. 35:25

Still doesn't explain frame #1 though.
Printable View
Mister van hoegh, had not read your reply when I replied, i also think there is a problem with the shutter but it was tested in a special set up in a analog camera shop but this is with the lens off the camera. Still the problem between the negatives. Thanks for your reply. never seen a light leak this tight they tend to spread out. I have also been thinking that it happens during filmtransport that I push the backside so it slightly tilts. maybe when advancing film or while transporting back, I think now next time I tape the camera close. then there still is the black line in picture 1 but that would be the shutter than.
The shutter may not be capped when when it cocks, but the mirror would prevent most light from getting through - which might be why a shop didn't catch the issue. This would explain the "sweeping" effect of the light leak. The MEs are apparently known for shutter issues, but likely it's just sticky from age.
One experiment would be to put a lens cap on when advancing the film. If the light leak between frames disappears then this is certainly the cause of it.
Yashinoff, That sounds very plausible I will start with the lens cap right away. And maybe one evening free clicking the camera, probably it has not been used for a long time. Thank you very much. I would like to copy paste your answer to the dutch part of this site where I also posted this problem, if thats ok with you.
Everybody thanks for your time .
Have the foam seals been replaced on this camera? If not, I would definitely replace them because deteriorating foam will at some point end up on the shutter blades.
You can get old cameras cheap, and the fool's approach is to get another one... which will need a CLA, just like the first one.
If you want a reliable piece of equipment, get a CLA from a competent tech..

Look at the dates please
Look at the dates before you reply to a post please. I am still getting replies to posts over 3 years old and it is kind of annoying. Start a new thread please if you see a post has been dormant for a while. Have some courtesy.
There would be information that is useful in older posts that would be lost if deleted. Every time I use the search function threads pop up that are 4 - 5 years old that are still very relevant.
It would be much more appropriate for people to start a new thread with a link to the old one they are referring to.
It appears there is more in play than just the annoyance that might be associated with just someone posting to an old thread. Mentha indicated she 'wouldn't be coming back to the forum anytime soon', which causes me to speculate she's troubled by something other than a post to an old thread showing up in her mail box. That's the forum's loss, she was a valuable and helpful contributor, and I, for one, noticed her absence.
Personally, I'm always glad to see a thread I started a long time ago revived, but almost all of my threads are informational instead of inquisitive, which also makes a difference.
To me, it seems like a judgment call, as to whether or not a post to an old thread is appropriate. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable posting a question that piggybacked on an old thread if it was on topic, but I also wouldn't waste my time offering a solution to a problem that was discussed in a thread back in '07. I DO know that I SURE as heck wouldn't post an advertisement for a prefabricated house, like some other dummy did, and is what rankled Mentha to begin with. I can see where THAT, on top of the fact she might not be feeling particularly charitable toward the forum right now (if indeed that is the case) might have been a little much.
Just my take - YMMV.
Out of respect for the number of Threads already active on these Fora,
I have tried many times to keep my personal updates to a single Thread.
However, after a year or so (in certain cases), I've noticed that my
Threads no longer rise to the first page when someone posts a question,
or when I am ready to provide an update. I don't like starting duplicate
Threads, although I always link to older Threads that are related.
I'm not sure why this glitch exists, and I haven't noticed it with other's Threads....
I assumed I'd angered the "Gods" in some fashion.
When I was new to gardenweb, or shall I say before I signed up to gardenweb, I would go on searching quest to find information on gardening. Well 8 out 10 times I would be brought to a post on garden web. Ughh, I did not want to sign up so I would read the thread and move on. Then one day while on another search quest I hit a post that had not been answered. In my mind I figured if someone else shows interest in that topic someone may answer it. So I quickly registered, and posted, boy I was excited. Well I got an answer, which I was thrilled. A few weeks later I discovered that was a very OLD post.
Point being, even if current members see this post while it is current, the info will be there for years to come. There will always be a new member that finds this forum from search quest, that have no idea about dates of threads. In other words feel honored that your info is out there being viewed, by new and old. :)
I get that Menth's peeved. Can't she just de-select the option to email her any responses? (I never selected that option in the first place, thought I'd regret it.)
Newbies aren't going to know anything about the dates or the etiquette of not posting a new topic or question to an existing thread.
Here you go tapla!!
I have sometimes thought about clicking that option, after this post I don't believe that is a great idea.
Here is a link that might be useful: post in reference
I just tried it out, you simply uncheck the email box in your profile. This will stop email in future. If you didn't want the email responses and checked that you did, your bad for doing so, IMHO
Josh, you can't edit the posts after the fact, but you can edit settings in your profile at any time.
Yes, I checked it out last night as well, & found that the Member Profile is able to be edited.
I'd forgetten where to check about the Emails, that's not at the Member Profile, but rather I pretended I was sending myself an email & that's where, at that email screen was the box to check/uncheck about receiving the emails as well.
Chris that's a good idea. Putting your email address in the "My Page" area near your moniker
is a great solution, if one still wishes to be contacted by members without being notified of Thread replies.
Of course the Profile can be edited...not Threads or posts, however.
So are we saying that if, when you originally start a thread, you check the box that says you want the replies to go to your email (I always do), you can disable those e-mails by opening your user page and disabling ALL emails?
That seems sort of like throwing the baby out with the bathwater for people like me that may have a dozen or more active threads they/I wish to be notified of replies to. Plus, it eliminates people's ability to ask questions or just say hey; so it seems that unless you want all communication cut off, there is no viable solution ..... unless I'm missing something?
I just hope Mentha didn't check that box when she started THIS thread. ;o) That would really be the pits.
Al, It's nice to know I've been missed. I haven't been here in over a year. I haven't been to any gardening site for that long. I've found myself to be a fake and not worthy of giving advise since I've lost almost all of my plants.
When GW first started up there was no way to remove your email notifications once you've clicked the box. I've been through 7 or 8 email addresses since I first signed up 15 years ago. That was however when Spike still owned GW and you were sent to Disney for posting curse words. I'll have to go look and see if I can change my profile.
Lol - I've never once used a curse word on the forums, not even close, but I have had a disagreement or two that got me temporarily banished to Oz. ;o)
IMO, I think you're being too hard on yourself. You always had good insight and plenty of good info to offer. There may have been times when our paths diverged slightly, but I think we were always pretty much on the same page .... at least you always kept an open mind and were cordial, which in itself is conducive to every one's ability to learn. I hope, if you have the time and inclination, that you'll rejoin us. ;o) If not, do take care, and good luck! I really did wonder more than once at where you disappeared to.
If you celebrate Christmas, have a very merry one. If not, have a good holiday season.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Buick LaCrosse
By KBB.com Editors
As the first masterpiece ushered in by Buick's renaissance, the 2011 Buick LaCrosse has proven itself more than just another pretty face; it is a bona fide driver's car, solidly built and with a style all its own. The new look of Buick actually began with the Enclave CUV, and while the LaCrosse is the first car to wear Buick's new duds, it's certainly not the last. The new Regal looks like the LaCrosse's miniature clone, and soon the 2012 Verano will arrive sporting similar, if not smaller, proportions. From its distinctive grille to the elongated "V" shaped crease running along the car's sides (an homage to the great Buick cars of the '50s, '60s and '70s), the 2011 LaCrosse truly impresses, especially when compared to other premium-leaning sedans such as the Lincoln MKZ, Hyundai Genesis and Lexus ES 350. And, while it may take the Buick brand a few more years to recapture the hearts of younger Americans, the company now has the tools in its toolbox to pull it off.
If you're looking for a premium mid-size sedan with a unique look and a great American name, the Buick LaCrosse has all the right ingredients for just such a car.
While the LaCrosse is certainly attractive, the Buick name is not as well received by younger audiences who still seem to gravitate toward Lexus, BMW and now even Hyundai. The LaCrosse's lack of a V8 engine option might dissuade some buyers.
A 2.4-liter Ecotec engine is now standard on front-drive CX and CXL trims, and includes a new variable-ratio electric power steering unit.
Driving Impressions Those seeking a comfortable turnpike cruiser that can also serve as a daily driver will find much to like in the 2011 Buick LaCrosse. As expected of any car...bearing the Buick nameplate, the LaCrosse is exceptionally smooth riding and has a whisper-quiet interior. Yet, this is no Electra, displaying surprisingly eager driving dynamics that makes cars such as the Lexus ES 350 feel a bit old fashioned. Unlike some of its competitors, those wanting added all-weather on-road security can opt for all-wheel drive on the mid-level CXL trim with the 3.6-liter engine. While the 2.4-liter engine performs quietly and without fuss, it really is underpowered in this segment. The engine of choice is the lovely 3.6-liter V6 which pumps out 280 horsepower, yet, thanks in part to the six-speed automatic transmission, returns impressively good highway fuel economy.
Spacious Interior
Even with the front seats moved as far back as possible, rear-seat passengers still have enough legroom to sit comfortably, no matter the length of the trip.
CXS Ice-Blue Interior Lighting
When the sun goes down, the interior of the LaCrosse is bathed in a soft blue light, emanating subtly from multiple points inside the vehicle. This "mood lighting" is a nice touch that adds to the sedan's premium feel.
Very few cars marry their interior and exterior styling into a single theme, but the 2011 Buick LaCrosse could be the poster child for just such an exercise. Flowing lines seem to pour from the dash, door panels and center console, all converging seamlessly to form an almost organic interior. Soft touch surface abound and the LaCrosse's button and switches operate with a substantial, weighted feel that reinforces the impression of solidity and craftsmanship. The seating provides ample room front and rear, and the seats themselves are nicely padded with good support for the lower back and thighs. If there is one area that could use improvement, it's in the LaCrosse's cargo hold. Although the LaCrosse's trunk itself is generous, the trunk lid supports located on either side eat up considerable real estate.Exterior
In the tradition of great Buicks before it, the 2011 Buick LaCrosse displays an iconic waterfall grille and signature portholes (again, a design element that dates back decades), only this time the little circles are placed on top of the hood, not on the side fenders. The LaCrosse's high beltine features a dramatic styling element – known as "sweep spear" in Buick parlance - that extends from the front of the vehicle to the rear. In keeping with the LaCrosse's smooth, unbroken lines, Buick runs the exhaust tips through the rear fascia instead of under it. Available 19-inch alloy wheels enhance the LaCrosse's aggressive good looks.
A 2011 Buick LaCrosse CX comes equipped with a 2.4-liter in-line four cylinder Ecotec engine, six-speed automatic transmission, eight-way adjustable power driver's seat, OnStar, automatic air conditioning and 17-inch alloy wheels. Moving up to CXL territory adds halogen fog lamps, 18-inch wheels, dual zone automatic air conditioning, auto-dimming rear mirror, universal home remote and leather seating. The top-of-the-line CXS is additionally outfitted with a 3.6-liter V6, 18-inch chrome wheels, heated and cooled front seats and a harmon/kardon 11-speaker sound system with USB port.
Looking to outfit your 2011 LaCrosse in every techie extra it offers? Then opt for Bluetooth, the harmon/kardon sound system, rear park assist, navigation, head-up display and the rear seat entertainment system with noise-cancelling headphones. If comfort is more important to you, add the heated and ventilated front seats, four-way driver's lumbar support, dual-zone climate control, heated and power-folding side mirrors and keyless start. And if you want the LaCrosse to look and behave a bit sportier on the road, add the xenon headlights, rear h-arm suspension, 19-inch all-season tires and chassis with continuously variable real time damping and sport mode selectivity. The 3.6-liter V6 is available on both the CX and CXL trims.
Motivation for the 2011 Buick LaCrosse comes from a 2.4-liter in-line four- cylinder engine which comes standard on the CX and CXL trim. If a low purchase price and good fuel economy are your primary concern, this is the best powerplant for the LaCrosse. However, if superior passing power or all-wheel drive traction are what you seek, then the 3.6-liter V6 is the only way to go. Both engines employ direct injection and are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions to help maximize fuel economy.

Major problems have been the 19" wheels. Destroyed about six on potholes. Air pressure sensors have been faulty. Cannot use Sun roof or shade since it will lock up in open and require a quick trip to dealer. (Relay issue.) Closest dealer not really sympathetic with issues. Original dealer too far but service there is 100%. (Had to be shipped in from another State to get what I wanted. Will never buy car off the lot if I have to give up a color or option."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"This revises my earlier review from November 2011. I still like the car, but I find the entertainment system such a disaster that it takes a lot away from the car. Its reliable, still gets close to 30 mpg and the E-assist is worth it. But the GPS is sometimes hard to follow - I have made wrong turns sometime which never happened in an earlier GPS and the entertainment system is terrible. Whenever I hang up a cell phone call (via bluetooth) it turns the GPS on. Whenever I turn on the GPS it automatically turns on the radio (which I didn't ask for). It constantly erases my ipod setting which I connect to the car via the USB port. Most cars drive well today. For my next car I will thoroughly test the entertainment system first and if Buick doesn't do it right by then they are out of the running."

"By the amount shown on Kelly Blue Book, I did not get a good deal on this car and feel I was lured into the place and told I would get a good deal but I see I am paying way more than it is worth and that makes me angry. I have no idea what I am going to do."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I own the E-Assist version. and just love the ride and luxury feel. very spacious, great MPG yet no compromise on size or options. much smoother start/stop technology (unnoticeable) when compared to other brands technology (i.e. BMW). if you are looking for power and accelaration, that's not your car (the E-Assist) you better off with the 6 cylinder version. but if you want to combine everything else, including comfort, space, luxurious feel and look, with great MPG for this size vehicle) then this is your car."

First International GA Terminal Opens in India
Mumbai's airport is the first in India to start international operations from a dedicated general aviation (GA) terminal, which until April 2011 catered only to private domestic charters. Mumbai handled 13,290 nonscheduled flights in the fiscal year ending March 31, an increase of 61 percent from five years ago. Sanjay Reddy, managing director of Mumbai International Airport Limited, said GA traffic at the airport is expected to
grow 10 percent annually over the next five years. Mumbai's GA terminal houses two private lounges, two conference halls, two crew rest rooms and a cafe bar, as well as immigration counters and security holds. Apart from the concierge service, passengers are also provided personal travel assistance to the aircraft.

ok guys i went to the body shop today and yes its the winsdor 4v ( m code ). But thanks guys for all the help i counted the value cover bolts and it had 6.
somethimes I wish I had a windser, only because you can find alot of bolt ons unlike a cleveland and when you do find something there expensive. As for valve covers there are only two choices out there chrome or stockers.
Jerry Baker:
Oh ya I have seen that already. My wife has a 1970 fastback with a 429, I cant find anything to dress it up with and in all the books you find the big blocks are just left out. Some one needs to start a company for the big block fords, that would make a killling.

Oh I never did send the photo of my 351 4v Wins.
She needs alot of cleaning but she runs well very well
It might need some cleaning for some but that's an engine that lived and lives, not a queen trailer :-D

HOUSTON – The funnel cloud spotted in the sky northwest of Houlka apparently moved on to Tupelo Monday and Chickasaw County was spared from any injury or major damage.
A strong storm system moved through Northeast Mississippi Monday afternoon sparking a series of tornado warnings in Chickasaw County, but there is no evidence any of the funnel clouds actually touched down.
"We think everything passed over us and while we did get several warnings from the National Weather Service we don't think any made it to the ground," said Linda Griffin, Executive Director of the Chickasaw County Emergency Management Agency. "The funnel cloud that was spotted north of Houlka was part of the same storm that hit Tupelo."
Griffin said the media did a good job of preparing the region for the threat of bad weather and emergency management agencies had been warned of possible bad weather over the weekend.
"We had good response from our teams and we were on top of these storms the best we could," said Griffin. "People also responded to the warnings when they went out and the storm shelters were packed."
Griffin said the first warning for northwest Chickasaw County went out about 3 p.m. Monday and were followed at about 4:30 p.m. of reports of a strong storm southeast of Houston.
"The storm in 2011 made people serious about seeking shelter," said Griffin. "We only have 21 storm shelters across Chickasaw County and they were packed.
"We did open up the Houston Courthouse and we had over 100 people in the Old Jail," said Griffin. "In Okolona the shelters also filled up and they went to the courthouse there and the Post Office."
Captain Jason Davis, of the Houston Fire Department, said there were no reports of injury or major damage in Houston.
"We did have people calling us asking where the storm shelters were," said Davis. "We were fortunate. There were no reports of injury or major damage."
Griffin said there were not even reports of trees blocking roads in the county.
"I want to thank this community for helping the elderly and maintaining order at the storm shelters," said Griffin. "That was a bad storm that passed over us and it missed us."
Houston dodges severe weather Monday

need help redoing island bed
I posted this on a couple forums because I need to make a decision soon. I need some help from all of you smart & creative people! I have this island bed that I made many years ago. The left side of the island I had originally planted 3 dwarf burning bushes, which got way over grown no matter how hard I tried to keep them in check. I had planted a flowering almond bush in the middle, which started off looking very beautiful but slowly deteriorated for probably combinations of reasons. One thing I didnÂt like it that there was originally a focal point in the island but it disappeared along the way as everything started to become the same height. Now I have the 3 burning bushes & flowering almond removed & need a new plan, hopefully one I can keep. I live in Michigan, zone 5 & the tree in the island is a Norwegian weeping pine about 5 feet tall, which I do not want to move. Please help give me some ideas & direction. I would really love this island to pop & be a focal point in my yard. Thanks, Terri Island as it is now=Here is the island in about 2002 when I first put it there=
I just redid the island in my front yard last year, and made it bigger this year. My suggestion for your focal point would be a dappled willow. Here is a pic of mine
Its not a great pic, but I LOVE this tree. Acutally its more like a bush. It dosen't get too big and the leaves are white and green, and the new growth on the top is pink. It looks really pretty swaying in the breeze. when mature it kind of hangs over like your evergreen bush in the pic. I have mostly daylilies in my island. They like the full sun, and would definitly makeyour garden "POP". Heres some clump pics of Daylilies that I have found. If you pick dormant varieties, they will do well in your zone. they are reliable performers, and come back fuller and prettier every year. I do have these in my garden, but mine haven't bloomed yet, so I don't have any pics of them yet. (Just for example)
I probably have about 50 different ones, and never get tired of them. Ok, here's one more pic I love from my garden of my siberians and dianthus next to my willow.
Hope you pick some nice things for your island. I had fun with mine! -Jessica
I think I would put a garden bench in there with stepping stones to it, maybe include a water feature with it, and just finish filling it in with my favorite perennials.
Ok, I know this thread is a bit old, but it's almost midnight, I'm exhausted, slightly sun burned, and a bum knee from yard work/ planting all day...and I have to tell you that monster in the garden made me laugh out loud.
Quite the sense of humor!
Thanks for the much needed giggle.
how about a conifer collection with an assortment of texture and shapes and colors and heights? Looks like with full sun they will be happy there. And the bench idea is good. It will give a horizontal line to mimic the horizontal lines of your house.

25 Servings
3 cups
fresh raspberries (picked over)
vanilla bean (split lengthwise)
star anise pods
strip of lemon peel (yellow part only) (1/2 inch wide by 1-1/2 inches long)
750 ml bottle good-quality vodka
Mash the raspberries roughly with a fork to break them up. Place the berries in a clean, one-quart glass jar and add the remaining ingredients, stirring to blend. (Save the empty vodka bottle unless you have a decorative decanter for the final product).
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for one week. If you don't have a glass container large enough, you can divide the mixture into 2 smaller jars.
After allowing the berries and spices to macerate in the vodka for one week, strain the mixture through a fine sieve, discarding the seeds and spices. Pour the raspberry vodka back into the original bottle or into another vessel. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

The Iron Ladies: Female Orlando execs who have completed an Ironman
- Abraham Aboraya
- Reporter- Orlando Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Last month we had a front-page story about four Orlando execs who have done an Ironman competition.
The article had some good feedback. I admit, though, when I got an email from Kim Hutto, my heart dropped a bit.
She pointed out what should have been obvious from the front: We featured four men, no women, in the articles.
So here we go: This is the first of three profiles of Central Florida female execs who have completed an Ironman competition. Check back Nov. 19 and Nov. 20 for more.
Age: 47
Company: Director of sales, PSAV
Employees: 4,500-plus
What the company does: PSAV provides modern event technology for meetings
Biggest project: Working as part of the content development team for the boarding, sales and advanced sales classes rolling out in 2014 for PSAV.
Why I decided to do an Ironman competition: To lose weight, to be a role model for my boys and to cross it off my bucket list
How many competitions I've completed: Two Ironman competitions and training for my third; four half Ironmans; numerous Olympic and Sprint Tri's.
My first Ironman: It was in 2009. The entire journey from training to crossing the finish line was an amazing experience, finishing in 12:18.
My last Ironman: In Panama City Beach in 2012, it was the complete antithesis of my first. I went in injured, but determined to finish. I crossed the line at 16-plus hours, having to walk the entire run. I learned negativity has its purpose. Without knowing intimately the negativity I experienced that day, I would not have fully cherished the joy and sense of accomplishment of crossing the finish line. Attitude makes all the difference!
First thing I did after crossing the finish line: Have my photo taken with my medal
How I train: I try to get all my workouts in before work — that's a 4:30 a.m. wake-up call. There are no short cuts; you have to put in the time.
What I've sacrificed for Ironman: I don't believe there are sacrifices. It's an honor to have the ability to push your body to the extreme and find out what you are made of. There are many people who would give anything to compete in such a race and are not able to do so. I look it as I get to swim 2.5 miles, bike 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles — not that I have to.
What I excel in? Swimming and the bike
The hardest part and how I overcome it: For me it's the run. By digging deep. Real deep. I have rarely been in a position where someone or something has challenged me more than I challenge myself. I am not about to let a run course get the best of me.
The hardest part and how I overcome it: For me it's the run. By digging deep. Real deep. I have rarely been in a position where someone or something has challenged me more than I challenge myself. I am not about to let a run course get the best of me.
What I do the day after: Eat, sleep, repeat.
How I psych myself up to compete: Visualization. I see myself crossing the finish line, and finishing strong. I hear the announcer yelling, "Kim Hutto, you are an Ironman." I play it over and over in my mind.
The correlation between Ironman and business: Garbage in equals garbage out. Mediocre efforts yield mediocre results. Work hard, go above and beyond, set stretch goals, tap into positive energy on demand, monitor your emotions, put forth a stellar effort, then you can expect extraordinary results.
On incorporating wellness in the workplace: I try to walk the talk. It's not always easy in this industry.
Business lessons from Ironman: Fearlessness! However, that doesn't mean you aren't feeling the fear. Fear means I'm trying something new, stepping outside the comfort zone. And that's where change happens. Good change. The key is to focus not on the fear, but on the possibility.
On being a corporate athlete: I don't believe you can be an Ironman outside the office and not have those qualities filter into your daily work life. Thriving not only when things are good, but under pressure and in the face of adversity or change, is to persevere. I always am looking for ways to become a better version of my professional self by continuously training and learning so I can better serve my organization.
Where I keep my medal: They hang over my bedroom mirror.
On if I've worn my medal out: No. But I do have the Ironman decal on my car.
Top dos and don'ts for an Ironman: Try new strategies, nutrition and race gear in training. Don't try them on race day. Trust in your talent and race plan. Don't allow the competition to get the best of you, they will try.
The business equivalent of an Iron Man event? Working with my team for many months creating the perfect event, watching it come to life, flawless execution and exceeding client expectations. Signing a client for life is like crossing the finish line!
How Ironman has changed me: The journey to toe the line at Ironman brought out the best in me. My mission is to live my life with passion and excellence, and to inspire those around me to do the same. I am determined to help my team, colleagues and clients see their true potential and to pursue their goals with confidence and courage. Oh yes, and to have fun and laugh throughout the journey.
How Ironman has changed my outlook: While training for my first Ironman, I came across this quote from World Class Ironman, Mark Allen: "Unless you try new things, you stagnate. Unless you go beyond what you've done before, you won't develop and grow. When you go for it 100%, that's when you learn. That's when you're really living!" I read this and try to live this every day, personally and professionally.
On whether people treat me differently because of Ironman: Yes. It's certainly a great conversation piece. I find that people are either inspired by you, ask you a lot of questions, or pretty much think you are a Type A freak! However, you would be surprised how many Ironman athletes I run into in the business world. What does that tell you?
On whether or not there's an Ironman sorority on sorts: There is the Central Florida Tri Club in which I feel at home with my closest Ironman crazy cohorts! Ironman is a family community.

Reverse Osmosis Water Filter + Chilled Water
We are doing a RO system by Kinetico. Is there anyway to get a water chiller connected to this so that we can have *cold* filtered water? We do not have a dispenser in the Fridge, so this would have to a separate water chiller. I understand about RO systems needing PEX lined piping etc.. So I guess the question is if there is a RO compatible water chiller.
Are you thinking of a water cooler, such as is found in some offices? If so, if you google Kinetico water coolers or chillers, you'll find some. And some have the filter built in.
Some water sources, when subject to reverse osmosis filtering, become acidic (low pH), which could cause metal ion leaching from metals such as brass. To avoid this there are two approaches.
One is to use inert tubing such as PEX (for large diameters 1/2 and up), regular polyethylene tubing (the usual approach for 1/4 or 3/8 diameters -- Portage Specialty Co., McMaster-Carr, etc.), or stainless steel. Stainless steel tubing and storage tanks would also be suitable for water chillers.
The other approach is to follow up the RO system with a cartridge that buffers the water pH to slightly alkaline. (SpectraPure may have these.) This might add some calcium ions to the water, so the reason for using an RO system would be a factor; that is, whether it is mainly for cleaning or to make nearly distilled water).
As it happens, my RO water is slightly alkaline, so leaching is not an issue. I use 3/8 poly for household distribution.

Price keeps getting lower for Cincinnati's Bartlett building
- Dan Monk
- Senior Staff Reporter
A Chicago investor who offered $7.5 million to buy the Bartlett building out of Chapter 7 bankruptcy last summer has lowered his price to $1.5 million.
Trustee Eric Goering is urging U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Jeffery Hopkins to accept the Prime Group Inc.'s offer.
"There is no question that the building is deteriorating and requires substantial investment," Goering wrote in a motion filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio, requesting an order to sell the property free and clear of liens. "The building has been offered for sale to over 30 investors or potential buyers ... Several previous offers on the building have been executed, but each potential buyer has withdrawn his offer."
If the deal is approved at a court hearing later this month, the Prime Group would take ownership of the 19-story office tower at the corner of Fourth and Walnut streets. The deal could bring to an end years of uncertainty for a downtown building that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in August 2008.
Designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, the building was one of Ohio's first skyscrapers, its construction overseen by Jacob Schmidlapp, whose Union Trust Bank later became part of Fifth Third Bancorp.
Ironically, it was Fifth Third that forced the 108-year-old building into bankruptcy in 2008 after its owner, Sterling Phoenix Development VI LLC, stopped paying utility bills. Two years later, Prime Group's $1.5 million offer would be far short of the roughly $12 million in liabilities pending on the property. And it would be a 76 percent discount from its last selling price of $6.3 million in 2003.
Prime Group Vice President Bill Henry did not return calls this week but confirmed last month that his company was negotiating to purchase the building at a reduced price. He also said the Prime Group had given up on its initial plan for the building. Instead of converting it to a hotel, it has shifted to the office use for which the building was designed.
"The numbers didn't work," Henry said.
The Prime Group's previous August 2009 purchase offer came with several contingencies, including the receipt of state tax credits equal to 25 percent of the renovation costs and federal tax credits equal to 25 percent. Another condition was a pledge from the city of Cincinnati of at least $15 million in tax breaks and a lease of 150 spaces in a city-owned garage. The Prime Group withdrew that offer, and the new contract includes no contingencies.
Goering said a quick sale is the best way to retrieve some value from the property, money that could be used to pay off nearly $1 million in unpaid taxes and to make partial payments to the banks and contractors that paid the building's operating costs during bankruptcy. Goering's motion said lenders will set aside $50,000 to cover the cost of the sale and provide payments to unsecured creditors who were owed money by Sterling Phoenix prior to the bankruptcy. Goering isn't sure how much that group is owed, but estimates it is in excess of $500,000.
He added that sale proceeds would not cover any of the $8.3 million in mortgages on the property, a figure that includes a $3.3 million loan from Fifth Third Bank. Fifth Third has not objected to the sale.
"Commercial property just doesn't have the value it used to," Goering said in an interview this week. While investors still have the ability to make rival offers, he does not expect that to happen. He thinks the $1.5 million sale to the Prime Group will be finalized this spring.
"Probably within the next year or two it should be back up and operating," he said.
All but two tenants have been forced out of the property. Jimmy John's restaurant and Bortz Jewelers remain on the first floor. The restaurant has filed a motion objecting to the sale, as it would terminate five years early the company's lease for its 883-square-foot Fourth Street store. The sub shop's parent company, Wildcat Investments of Cincinnati LLC, would have to spend $200,000 to relocate, said Philomena Ashdown, a Strauss & Troy attorney who represents Wildcat.
"All I'm hoping for is that Jimmy John's can stay," she said.
Cincinnati real estate investor Andy Patel said the Bartlett building needs about $3.5 million in improvements, beyond its sale price, for the building to be marketable as a Class B office property.
"I've had several people tell me the value of that building is the land minus the cost of taking it down," said Patel, who toured the building recently but decided not to make a purchase offer.
He said the building requires plumbing upgrades, environmental remediation and a new boiler. That job will be arduous because the current boiler is two stories underground, he said.
"If the right owner gets into it and does something with it, I think it could get back to what it was in terms of office and retail," Patel said. "If not, it's just going to sit there."
On the Cheap
• Prime Group offered $7.5 million for the building last summer.
• The firm withdrew that offer and cut its bid to $1.5 million.

Mikkelsen wants mistake-free start
|By Steven English and Matt Beer
|Thursday, January 13th 2011, 12:27 GMT
Skoda UK's new signing Andreas Mikkelsen expects to be very competitive on his debut with the team in Monte Carlo next week - but warned that he cannot take as many risks as the one-off entrants will.
Since becoming part of the Intercontentinal Rally Challenge in 2009, the Monte Carlo Rally has always been won by a guest entrant, with World Rally Championship stars Sebastien Ogier and Mikko Hirvonen taking the victories so far.
This year's rally has attracted the likes of 2003 WRC champion Petter Solberg and his WRC regular brother Henning, while reigning IRC champion Juho Hanninen has entered the Monte but is not mounting a full-season title defence.
Mikkelsen said that the guest drivers will be able to throw caution to the wind in a way that IRC title aspirants such as himself, Guy Wilks and Jan Kopecky cannot.
"There are some good names entering the event - many drivers are doing this event as a one-off," Mikkelsen said on stage at AUTOSPORT International, where Skoda UK unveiled its 2011 livery.
"Some drivers need to think about the whole championship so really need to finish the event and bring some points on the table for the rest of the year. Many guys go there just to win and the IRC regulars go there for a strong finish and not to take too much of a risk.
"If I have a good rally with no mistakes I think I can be quite high-placed."
He is confident that Skoda UK - which took several podium finishes but no wins with former driver Wilks last year - can take a step forward this season.
"I've been driving the car a lot lately and I think we have a really, really strong package now," Mikkelsen said.
"Altogether it's a great team, a great car, everything is looking very good so hopefully we'll have a great year.
"I think we now have an even stronger package this year with the cars also upgraded. Hopefully we can continue where Guy left off and have some really good results, I think so."

Government shutdown suspends diesel fuel price report
The weekly diesel fuel price report has been suspended as a result of the federal government shutdown that has been in effect for two weeks.
The information for the diesel fuel price report comes from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Although the EIA was able to collect and post gasoline and diesel fuel updates last week, the agency is now closed.
A message on the EIA's website reads:
"EIA is closed due to a lapse in appropriations. EIA will not update this website until the agency reopens."
The shutdown started on October 1 and has affected other agencies in addition to the EIA.
The first day of the shutdown, the U.S. Department of Transportation furloughed 18,481 employees and suspended most operations that are not safety-related. Construction reports on spending, employment and more have been suspended, as well as all Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) web services. The shutdown has also slowed many transportation projects.

Deep down
... so-called natural way. Hence, I have spontaniously decided to walk the natural way out which is much more exhausting than walking into it which is down. Well, you need to know that the cave is 250 m below ground. The elevator needs a minute to travel up or down. The time given to visit the cave was very limited, so I was a bit worried if I could make it up on time. The sign said it takes 1 hr to walk up. If so, then I would be too late ...
Sayre to Roswell 540 miles
... as I know that noise. It went on a long while then off it went again, then I had it - popcorn machine! Luckily Peter was asleep or I'm sure he would have had something to say to whoever it was, it's surprising how long 2 lots of popcorn take before they finally stop popping. Ok eventually about to drift off then pop, pop, popping again - aargh! Sleep at last but suddenly awake, still seems like night but there it goes again, look at my phone - ...
Oilfields, Caverns and Aliens
Cumulative miles driven: 3,078
The drive from San Antonio in Texas to Roswell, New Mexico was 590 miles of which the first 312 miles were on Interstate 10 (or I-10). Leaving San Antonio on five and six lane highways this gave way to a fairly standard dual carriageway road after around 15 miles of urbanisation, so with the sat nav showing 'next turn' off I-10 in over 290 miles it was time to employ cruise control set at 80mph ...
Getting High in Texas
... miles up and 4 miles down so it was actually way more steep then the one in Big Bend. Although it was quite difficult, not having hiked the day before went a long way in having much more energy. We kept thinking we were getting to the top of the mountain but we would go around a bend and see another higher peak in front of us. It was annoying and hilarious and we kept saying to each other ...
Almost there!

Updated Conn Smythe watch
A goalie claims the top spot, and Blackhawks dominate the rankings
Editor's note: These rankings are based on player production in terms of Hockey Prospectus' goals versus threshold (GVT) valuation metric. If you are unfamiliar with GVT and how it works, you can learn more here.
Throughout the season, Hockey Prospectus provided Player Power Rankings for the top 10 skaters and top five goalies in the NHL based on HP's proprietary value metric GVT, a statistic that combines player contributions in all aspects of the game, including offense, defense, goaltending and the shootout. With the shootout eliminated for the playoffs, that component is removed from the equation.
As we get closer to the Stanley Cup finals, this serves a guide to which players should be in the mix for the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP) if a strict mathematical approach were taken to the award. With the field narrowing to our final four Cup contenders, the rankings will no longer take a positional approach; instead, we'll look at the top 10 overall in terms of GVT.
The Chicago Blackhawks have made their presence known, nabbing four of the 10 spots. The rankings are led by Chicago goalie Corey Crawford, and Los Angeles Kings pivot Anze Kopitar checks in at No 3.
Top 10 Players
1. Corey Crawford, G, Chicago Blackhawks
Off GVT: 6.9 | Def GVT: 0.0 | Total GVT: 6.9
Crawford has been strong in every series: a .934 save percentage against St. Louis, .926 against Minnesota and .962 in Game 1 against L.A. He leads remaining playoff goaltenders in goals-against average (1.90), save percentage (.933) and GVT.
2. Henrik Lundqvist, G, New York Rangers
Off GVT: 5.8 | Def GVT: 0.0 | Total GVT: 5.8
While the rest of the final four teams have multiple players in the Top 10, Lundqvist stands as the lone representative from the Rangers, another sure sign of his value to his team. He was impeccable in Games 5, 6 and 7 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, stopping all but three of the 105 shots he faced.

It also includes an ON/OFF switch that saves battery life. The timer includes an easel back for standing the timer, a magnetic back for attaching it to a steel surface, and a belt clip for attaching it to the user. This is NOT a shot timer that records time elasped between shots. This is a simple countdown timer for competition shooting events in which there is a set time limit.

Can you post a pic - there may be a packing nut you can tighten, to add more pressure (like a hex-nut around where the stem comes out)...
Hey foks,I'm trying to replace my bathroom sink vanity. First thing I did was to shut off both the hot and cold water valves under the sink (the turn style shaped like a round honeycomb). Unfortunately, after doing so, both hot and cold water still comes out when you turn the sink on. The cold water comes out at a quick drip pace. The hot water comes out a little fasterlike you just barely have the water on (like what would come out of a water bottle if you squeezed it).Is my only option here really to replace these valves?
Long-term solution however is replacing them with ball valves of the quarter-turn variety.
Is my only option here really to replace these valves?
While i understand long-term it should be replaced, does what Jack b is saying or what normal was saying apply to my style as well? Seems like it should.
This is all a bummer to hear
...I installed an new 3/4 ball and cock main shut-off.
Awesome...thanks everyone. I'm gonna give the washers a shot first and plan to do a full replace later. Unless it doesn't work in which case I'll do a full replace now
I'd probably use a SharkBite fitting as I don't trust my soldering skills.
They do work nicely in some cases, like in tight quarters, especially where a torch might set something inside a wall cavity on fire! ...
