Close to two months after the Veterans Affairs Department ordered its Veterans Health Administration contracting offices to halt reverse auctions until further notice, the agency's senior acquisition shed some light on why he made the decision.
"I'm not against reverse auctions, but I'm concerned that sometimes we don't know what we're doing when we set about to do reverse auctions," Jan Frye, deputy assistant secretary at VA's Office of Acquisition and Logistics, said in a keynote at the April 26 Coalition for Government Procurement 2012 Spring Conference
In a March 3 memo, Frye stated that reverse auctioning was disrupting the agency's supply chain, leading to complaints from VA suppliers. His main concern was that contracting officers depended too much on FedBid, the service provider for reverse auctioning, without appropriate oversight.
"When you hire a firm to tell you what you've got to do, aren't we, the government, supposed to know what we're supposed to do?" he said. "We need to have contracting officers who have heads screwed on right, who understand what their responsibilities are and not dump it in the lap of a third party."
VA was the first agency to take a critical look at reverse auctions, uncovering how some contracting officers were "dumping their work in the lap of third-party providers," Frye said.
"We looked at 25 files and 23 of them were vastly inefficient," he said. "Half of them didn't even have any market research. The quality of market research of the other half was very questionable."
Frye told the conference attendees his decision to stop reverse auctioning immediately drew attention. "The word was on the Hill, we had lobbying groups after me, we had congressmen calling me, senators calling – it was unbelievable," he said.
The personal attacks also began, Frye said, noting how transcripts from Capitol Hill discussing his decision showed that senators were "very, very unkind to me."
"I decided a long time ago that if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog," he joked. "And I've got two of them."

The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
Looks like the FEDBid boys have worked overtime to write some nasty articles here about VA's senior procurement guy. They have a lot to lose. They have big-time Washington investors who have pumped millions into their company. Frye had the sense to call them out on their claims that the VA was saving money. Turns out it was FEDBid who was making the claims, not VA contracting officers. Isn't that the fox in the chicken coop? It is no wonder they paid lobby groups to attack Jan Frye for doing what was right. He had the guts to act.
I have known Frye for a number of years, and worked with him in the Army. Like him or not, he's smart and knows his business cold. He knows how contracting should be done and he doesn't waste energy delving into things that don't warrant his attention. In fact, now that he's led the way in looking at the flawed reverse auction process in VA, my guess is that other federal departments will take his lead and find out if their contracting officers are doing it right. We need more leaders like him in government contracting. He's a git-er-done kind of guy. Too bad we can't clone him.
Most suppliers do not like to compete in a transparent way with other suppliers. They would much rather "work" agencies and influence decision makers throughout the standard RFQ processes or other traditional buying processes trying to gain some type of advantage to get selected at the price they want. This has gone on in government and commercial buying forever. It's why suppliers spend a lot of money on sales people. Reverse auctions change this paridigm. It provides a fair, transparent and highly auditable transaction every time. This is good for both buyers and suppliers. Not wanting to operate this way really boggles the mind.
I used to work for VHA and Jan Frye has always been a problem .... I can't believe he can make public comments about what should be an inhouse departmental conversation. When I worked for VHA (and I did a fair amount of public speaking) my presentations were all pre-approved and I can assure you the type of comments Jan Frye has been making would never have been approved nor tolerated. This is another example of how and why certain agencies are all over the news today in a negative way. I'll bet Jan's superiors wish he would keep his mouth shut and focus on developing policies and proceses that consitently saved money. I can tell you from experience that the usual process doesn't really drive competition. From what I know about reverse auctions they absolutely do create more rigorous competition!
I'm not sure what agency the prior commenter works for, but there is no mandate to use FedBid at VHA. We are to consider use of reverse auctions first for commodity procurements, but there is no mandate. In fact the approach is consistent with FAR 4.502(a) that states "The Federal Government shall use electronic commerce whenever practicable or cost-effective." Why? because it's ridiculous to think using old school negotiating techniques for the huge number of small buys we do makes any sense at all.

Chris Fraser: In Passing
Bay Area artist Chris Fraser uses site-specific sculpture to draw attention to refracted paths of light. As the artist himself notes, "I would like my work to point back into the world... there is nothing particularly special about the light that enters these works. Echoes of this same order can be found in your home, entering your windows, skirting around furniture, slipping through a crack in the door."
Chris Fraser, who was just invited to participate at the Venice Biennale's collateral exhibition "Personal Structures," will give an artists talk on Saturday, March 9 at 6pm, followed by a closing party from 7–10pm.
Read our review: "Chris Fraser's In Passing closes this weekend, so let's cut to the chase: if you haven't seen it, you need to load the family in the car, grab your Max pass, or hop on your rain-slicked bicycle and peddle your winter-light-craving self up to Disjecta—double time. This is one of those rare shows capable of generating sheer and utter joy across demographics, from stodgy art veteran to those who find art inaccessible and pretentious to seven year olds..."

Note to Self…
TODAY'S NOTE TO SELF: Start small. Use time wisely.
TODAY'S NOTE TO SELF: Start small. Use time wisely.
This 300 Days of Creating project has been unbelievably motivating for me! I'm realizing that every day I have a goal to be creative. Even if it doesn't end up happening, it's on my mind and something that is present. I'm also realizing how much I love looking back to see what I've already accomplished and the progress that's been made. And THAT in and of itself is incredibly inspiring!
I'm going to attempt to do a monthly progress report here on the blog. Next month I might try to be a bit more detailed about certain pieces but for now, I'm just going to show the pics.
To date I'm at 24/300 days. And there are 304 days left in the year. That means I have a little wiggle room to meet my goal, but not much! When I calculate it out I think I can only miss approx. 2.5 days a month from here out. Oy!
As you can see, my counted days range from photo shoots to art journaling to painting to doodles. I'm not setting any boundaries . Just focusing on being actively creative! How is the project going for you??? Are you staying motivated?
And again, it's not too late to start!!! There are still 304 days left in the year! 😉
dreaming of snow covered mountain tops…
i truly love going to the mountain (mt. hood) in the winter. driving up and crossing into the land of snow always gives me instant peace and a rush of happiness! sadly, snow is one thing we have not had enough of here in the NW. i'm sure there are many of you who would gladly give us yours. of course, wouldn't it be nice if it worked that way!

Looking back, some of my best years of productivity and happiness have been the years that I make a list of things I want to accomplish in that year. I'm realizing though that it's not JUST the list writing, cause truth be told, I do that every year. It's been the times that I put my list of goals out there, document the progress and really reflect on my list that seems to make the things on my list actually come to fruition.
These are all things I REALLY WANT to do. But I get tired. And lazy. And distracted. The list helps me to stay on track. And putting it out here for all of you to see, gives me a sense of accountability.
I like to break my list up into different categories, as you'll see below.
Personal/Family Goals:
I've already marked off "Hike Dog Mountain"!
My friend Stacey and I trekked the 6.9 mile hike last Friday and it was awesome!
There was no view of the Columbia River Gorge to be had, but the frozen fog was quite magnificent.
Business Goals:
Health Goals:
I love the quote "Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail".
I know it doesn't hold true in every case but for me, planning definitely increases my productivity. And being productive, makes me happy.
For the items that are a weekly or a monthly I'm adding a * each time they're accomplished.

World's Leading Nanotechnology Event to Host Special Program May 23, 2007 at Santa Clara Convention Center
Nanotech 2007, the nation's largest nanotech conference and trade show, has announced the Merck Nanotech Delivery Request Program will take place at Nanotech 2007.
"With Merck's purchase of Sirna Therapeutics, a leader in efforts to create RNAi-based therapeutics, there may be the opportunity to greatly accelerate research that could significantly alter the treatment of disease," said Bart Romanowicz, Executive Director of the Nano Science & Technology Institute (NSTI), producers of Nanotech 2007. "RNAi-based therapeutics selectively catalyze the destruction of the RNA transcribed from an individual gene, enabling a novel approach to discovering drugs with the potential to produce highly specific, potent, and long-lasting effects."
Representatives from Merck will make a special presentation to researchers and scientists in universities and companies at the conference on May 23.
The presentation will focus on areas Merck is especially interested in developing collaboration around, specifically, enabling technologies that can be applied to the targeted delivery of siRNA particles in-vivo. Examples might include self-assembling polymer nanoparticles and cellular/organ-specific targeting strategies. Merck will also discuss their interest in novel assays to follow intracellular processing and trafficking of siRNA.
The presentation will be followed by a question and answer period and one-on-one meetings.

We first visited in morning, but the place was closed. Since it was highly recommended, we visited again in afternoon and were delighted. Great food and very well run by the family.
Great place to stop by for your coffee and cake fix. Run by a family, this place offers some of best confectionary in town. Well located and marked on Market Hill road.
This is a lovely little gourmet food, wine and coffee shop in Clifden. Great range of well presented and aged cheeses, organic foods and so on. Sandwiches to take away. Whilst I do buy various bits and pieces from time to time, I rely on Connemara Hamper for my daily fix of caffeine when in the area - it's the...
We absolutely loved our visit to the Connemara Hamper - mother and daughter made us truly delicious homemade sandwiches (with top-quality, locally sourced cheeses and meats) for our picnic lunch. The small grocery is packed with local and gourmet choices of snacks, jellies, wine, etc. - we found some excellent gifts to ship home.
Perfectly charming and truly delicious -...
Don't miss out! Not only is it the best coffee for 40 miles the great selection of cheese makes it a pleasure to stop by everytime I'm in Clifden.
Always a nice welcome, fantastic selection of cheese the most generous of sandwiches.
We will return whenever we can and would recommend this as a great deli to visit.
Best cooked ham I have tasted this side of my kitchen. And fab bread too. They have a deliberately modest selection of produce but everything that they do is of tip-top quality. I just love getting bread, cheese and ham from there and making the best lunch imaginable.
Maybe we were out of season, but stocks were low. However, the cheese we bought was especially nice.
Stopped on our way to the beautiful Connemara national park for a picnic lunch! Was greeted by very helpful lady who offered local advice on routes and even weather! We had two amazing local cheese baguettes which she recommended to us - they were delicious fresh bread, tasty cheese, fresh salad and a yummy combination of pickles! Would highly recommend...

Bike Buyers GuideBike Buyers Guide Close
With such a big range of bikes on offer, we know that choosing your next bike can sometimes be a confusing minefield of options.
Before you decide, it might be a good idea to think about what you'll be using the bike for and where you are likely to ride. Like to attack the off road trails and tarmac? Then a hybrid bike might be right up your street.More Info
What Are Fixie Bikes?What Are Fixie Bikes? Close
Fixie bikes are new and stylish bikes that give riders more control than any other kind of bike. They're called fixie bikes because they've got a fixed gear and a single speed.
You also can't freewheel on a fixie bike, because when the rear wheel turns, so do the pedals. Because there's no coasting, you need to put the effort in if you want to go fast.More Info

Fixie Bikes have no gears and no freewheel. This means they're a great option if you want to get fit because if you want to move, you have to pedal. This sounds tough, but it actually makes them incredibly efficient.
A Fixie Bike is also incredibly low maintenance, really taking you back to basics. With fewer moving parts, there's less to go wrong and there's less to keep moving smoothly.
Another advantage of a Pinarello Fixed Gear Bike is that they're extremely lightweight. Many of us have struggled onto public transport with a heavy, geared bike in the past. With one of these, that problem is solved!
If you need any more help, head over to your local Halfords store where our trained staff will be more than happy to offer guidance, and will even build your bike for free! (Excludes Trax bikes.)

Written by Jack Jenkins
When election returns began pouring in on Tuesday, progressives were quick to declare the election a resounding victory for President Obama, Democratic candidates, and progressive ideals such as marriage equality and the DREAM Act. A deeper look at Tuesday's results reveals that the 2012 election season was also a resounding defeat for the political engine that has long catapulted the GOP to power: The Religious Right.
Here five ways the Religious Right imploded during the 2012 election:
1) Evangelicals failed to produce a viable candidate. While Rick Perry looked to be the evangelical darling in the early days of the Republican primary, his various "oops" moments forced evangelical Protestants to flock to Rick Santorum, a conservative Catholic. But while Santorum won the support of many evangelicals, his passionate embrace of evangelical positions on abortion and contraception made him unappealing to many women voters. In the end, the machinery of the Religious Right failed to produce a candidate that fired up conservative Protestants, forcing the Romney campaign to work twice as hard to excite the GOP's evangelical base.
2) Conservative efforts to shift the Catholic vote flopped. After the Obama administration announced the HHS contraceptive coverage requirement earlier this year, the United States Council of Catholic Bishops launched a "Fortnight for Freedom" campaign criticizing the Obama administration and urging Catholics to cast their votes in support of "religious freedom." The effort failed miserably: Not only did Obama win the Catholic vote overall in 2012 (50% of Catholics voted for Obama while 48% supported Romney), but Pew Research found that the vast majority of American Catholics (78%) knew little to nothing about the bishop's expensive campaign. Instead, Catholic voters appeared more supportive of the efforts of Sister Simone Campbell and the Nuns on the Bus who spoke out against Paul Ryan's budget.
3) Evangelical voter turnout efforts fell short. Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition targeted Ohio this year in an effort to increase evangelical turnout, promising to go "all in" by sending voter guides to churches and launching a "major push" to get evangelicals to the polls through a robust get-out-the-vote effort. But when the results came in on Tuesday, Obama had actually performed better among white evangelicals in Ohio than he did in 2008: White evangelicals in Ohio favored John McCain by a 71%-27% margin in 2008, but favored Romney by a smaller margin – 69%-30% – in 2012. Despite all the energy expended by the Religious Right, their turnout efforts failed to have any marked impact on the most crucial state of the general election.
4) Traditionally evangelical candidates lost en masse because of radical views and bad theology. Conservative Christian and then-Missouri Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin caused a stir within the Republican Party when he spoke about "legitimate rape," but evangelical leaders were quick to come to his aid. But when Indiana GOP Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who attends an evangelical church, referred to women impregnated through rape as having been given "a gift from God," voters across the country – including many evangelicals – began asking questions about this new breed of politician. Ultimately, voters decided that Akin and Mourdock's radical theology was simply too extreme: They and several like-minded candidates suffered a series of staggering defeats all across the country on Tuesday.
5) The efforts of anti-gay religious leaders didn't stop voters from supporting marriage equality. When marriage equality amendments were put on the ballot in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington this year, conservative Christian groups moved quickly to try and dissuade people from supporting the freedom to marry. Famed evangelist Billy Graham even launched a massive "Vote Biblical Values" ad campaign, which, among other things, urged voters to oppose candidates who supported marriage equality. Undaunted, pro-marriage equality activists capitalized on groundswells of support among religious groups and ran ads featuring pastors and other religious leaders passionately endorsing same-sex marriage. In the end, Americans voted in favor of marriage equality in three (and probably four) states, dealing a resounding defeat to the anti-gay bastions of the Religious Right.
The 2012 election season appears to have been an ominous one for the Religious Right, and – if the trend continues – may very well signal the end of their traditional dominance of Republican politics. Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, has already voiced the opinion that the Religious Right is hemorrhaging support across the country, and should put less focus on abortion and gay marriage and give more attention to issues such as immigration reform, poverty, and increasing adoptions and foster care opportunities. Whether or not religious conservatives can make that shift remains to be seen, but, in the meantime, the Religious Right looks to have already lost persuasive power with many American voters.

There are some crazies on here! Luckily America saw through these nut job religious folk
I have a theory. Remember, it's a theory and not the truth. But I still think it has some relevance. Well, my theory is that the trolls on Care2 wake up in the morning, put their devices on, log into Care2 and put a serach in the box. It says: GAY. Up comes thousands of articles where this word is mentioned. Then the trolls scan through the results and decide which links they will click on, preferable new ones.
And then it starts again: Trolling about their beliefs that they are better than us sinners, because we believe that everyone deserves equal rights and we are doomed because of our insistance that fundamentalism and hate leads to unhappiness.
That's my theory and I stand by it until it's been scientifically disproven!
Judy - It is Sunday. Go to church and get off this site.
Maybe they are a group whose time has come and GONE. What a relief that would be for the good of the country as a whole.
Dave G - I believe judy's been exiled from the site.
Oh JEEZ, Judy - Give it a REST!
All your prosthelitizing and shoving the Bible in our faces does not change the fact - fact - that Church and State remain separate in the United States for a Very Good Reason, not the least among which is to keep narrow-minded, short-sighted, self-righteous people like you from dictating to the rest of us - non-evangelical and other Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Rastafarians, agnostics and even atheists - your personal take on your faith!
Again - Give It a REST.
Oh and to stay on topic I want to add Jesus wants to have a personal relationship with everyone including the ones working for the state. If everyone did as Jesus instructed this world would be better now and there would be no means to have it separate as we would all be doing and following the same. Being of one mind with God. By following the word of God this world would have been a better place. Just like in the time of Adam and Eve. If they did not sin than we would not have sin in our life today. Because they did we have all these wonderful problems and because they did bring sin into life, Jesus was sent.
I know you will say that was a fairy tale too but read this article. I found it interesting.
We are looking for signs but when they happen still no one believes. Like what I wrote earlier. The Kid who died then was brought back to life. Sat in a coma in the Hospital and upon his awakening told his mother he was with Jesus. He also asked why they never told the boy that he used to have a sister. He told the parents he spoke with her and knew her name. Told the parents of her name. It was amazing to hear this kid speak of his incident.
Hi Kevin, I actually commend you for your at least researching which some people won't do. However, everyone wants proof that Jesus was who he said he was. People will not believe based on faith and trust. I know your take on scripture but Jesus does address this issue as well. He actually wants us to believe and trust Him based on his words and what he has already done.
Mat 12:38 One day some teachers of religious law and Pharisees came to Jesus and said, "Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign to prove your authority."
Mat 12:39 But Jesus replied, "Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
That generation is now. He want's us to believe without sight. Knowing that he existed even secondary should be enough.. unfortunately most people will not take that leap.
Tom - It seems short-sighted to simply malign and dismiss historical scholarship because it does not happen to coincide with your preconceived "religious" notions. As I pointed out before, there is no reliable primary historical evidence that Jesus even existed. There is secondary evidence, which I personally find compelling, but no primary evidence. I am sorry that you find history to be such a threat and historians to be "enemies."
By the way, historians do not operate from a starting point of "animosity." We do however deal with facts, not fariy tales. So save your "the mean old scholars hate our religion" nonsense. Historians, at least the good ones, do not have an agenda and are not plotting against christians.

Sky TV and The Halberg Disability Sport Foundation commissioned some elegant animation for the LED set pieces at the Halberg Awards, 2015.
Clear Cut Communications asked us to design a unique LED screen configuration for the Warehouse Group Supplier Dinner in 2014 at the Viaduct Events Centre. The multi-part behemoth we came up with used several ninety degree returns to create a sense of depth and dynamism across the space.
Another year, another set of designers elevated to the dizzying heights of Interior Awards stardom. This year we clad the interior of Ponsonby Central's Sapphire Room with forty metres of high resolution LED, courtesy of Big Picture New Zealand.
In our third year building the visual backdrop for the Steinlager Rugby Awards, we were asked to develop a multi-layered experience for the LED backdrop, bringing past, present and future Rugby heroes together in an engaging visual feature.
Clearcut Communications commissioned a spectacular LED arrangement for this annual awards and fundraising night. Seventeen floating screens spanned the length of Auckland's Viaduct Event Centre.
Mulk designed and built a volumetric mesh screen installation for AGM Publishing's Interior Awards evening at Ponsonby Central on June 20th 2013.
Ashley Turner asked us to help out with lighting and interactivity for his totemic installations at WOMAD 2013.
An awards continuity and mapping experience for AGM Publishing's Interior Awards held at Imperial Lane on June 27th, 2012.
This 15 minute piece weaves in and out of local history, bombarding viewers and unsuspecting passers-by with the energy of the land, the sea, and the people on a massive scale.
We helped develop a system for mapping virtual environments onto a blank set for this 'immersive' TVC.

The death toll from a string of weekend terror attacks in Pakistan hit 52 on Monday after more victims died at area hospitals.
The attacks were carried out by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, The Associated Press reported. The militant group has targeted Shiites for years now.
At least three separate bombings took place on Sunday: The first, an explosion outside the southwestern city of Quetta left 30 dead, and several injured. The second came in Peshawar, in an attack on a military convoy. And the third was a roadside bombing that targeted Pakistan soldiers traveling in a vehicle.
The attacks came on the heels of a pledge from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to stop the widespread terrorism, BBC reported.
Attacks over the past two weeks have increasingly targeted women students, foreigners and military convoys, and Mr. Sharif has been hard-pressed to say how he will put a stop to the bombings.

3 Days in Singapore
Guide to Singapore for Families
Shopping Guide for Singapore
Reading the reviews made me want to try this and I'm glad I did. Tony was personable, articulate, knowledgeable and passionate about Singapore, it's history, culture, people and especially the food. Our night walk started about 7pm and finished up about 12:30-1am. It was a fascinating time that went by quickly. I got an appreciation of the many food styles...
WOW, We have just come home from spending 7 nights in Singapore. We did all the usual touristy things which were great fun and on our final night we completed the Joo Chiat Foodie Walk hosted by Tony Tan from Betel Box. It was so much more than just a foodie tour, we also learnt about the culture and lifestyle...
Tony gave us a fascinating insight into Singapore from a locals perspective, with a focus on how people live, how the government has transformed a small colony into an international economic powerhouse and why their laws are so strictly enforced.
The food was great, very diverse and definitely not mainstream. Be prepared to challenge yourself!
The tour finished around 1am,...
My recent "food tour" booked with Tony Tan was the highlight of my December trip to Singapore. I was interested in experiencing the food from a cultural perspective and Tony certainly delivered that! We visited a hawker center for brunch which was a great experience. Sampling all the authentic foods that I missed on a prior trip was worth the...
This is more than just a food tour! This tour goes beyond just pointing out the local attractions. Our guide, Tony weaves in the local history, culture and heritage while we walk and stopped at various locales. Tony brings you right into the heartland of Singapore (Joo Chiat/Geylang area) and in 6 hours, you get to know a little more...
My wife and I were only in town for a few days none of which were on a Thursday for the regular food walk. We were, however, lucky enough to get Tony for a personal tour, food bonanza, history lesson and political discourse! I highly recommend Tony. He's personable, curious, funny and passionate about many things including Singapore and goes...
because this is not just a food tour but Tony covers almost every aspect of singapore.. history, current affairs etc. We had a phenomenal time and have to say it is one of the best tour i have ever taken (and i am singaporean!). I joined the tour thinking it would be an evening of joyous eating but i actually...
- Tony is extremely knowledgable about the local culture, history, politics etc.
- Food is excellent, and plenty. Really a wide variety of dishes. Was the best meal we had in Singapore.
- Never felt unsafe about hygiene.
- I believe this is the only food tour currently running in Singapore, so this is your only option.
Took my family of 6 (12, 14, 16, 20) and my wife and I, on this tour with Tony last week. The sheer amount of food was overwhelming, and probably could be spread out a bit, but everyone enjoyed it so much, even my 12 year old son. We learned about and sampled some 30-40 different dishes. We recently did...
If you want a tour that gives you an insight into what it is like to live in Singapore, and experience great food, I would recommend this. Tony is an engaging tour guide, and was very informative. The food was absolutely delicious and there was great variety. They recommend you skip lunch, and I can see why! My only criticism...

You're looking for an authentic relationship that includes true intimacy, rather than looking for intimacy without a relationship. You're a man who is comfortable and solid in his masculinity, and truly adores women. You care about our planet. You look and feel young, can walk briskly around the block without gasping for air. You can (and do) listen as well as expound. You can be comfortable in the stillness, balancing activity with relaxation.

2001 Lincoln Navigator Q&A
2001 Lincoln Navigator Question: Have no heat and am out of ideas.
Have flushed the radiator and the heater core, have cut open the dash to view the blend door and it is working, have replaced thermostat twice with different heat range stats and have changed water pump. I still have NO heat. Any other ideas? - millvijo
Answer 1
With engine at operating temp. are both heater hoses hot enough to burn your hand if you held on to them for 10 seconds? Or is just one hot? Bet your heater core is still restricted!! All i see here is blend door over and over but the truth is the hot coolant is not going through the heater core,or not enough volume of hot coolant!!! The "blend door"may stick closed but not this time. Best FIX is to replace core but try air + water hose, search youtube! 195° stat! - pushrod

When the Bruins take on the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Saturday, it will once again be with first place in the Northeast Division on the line. Although the Bruins didn't fare so well last time they were in this position, this time they bring new teammate Jaromir Jagr, who is keenly aware of how the importance of games ratchets up late in the season. Defenseman Wade Redden and head coach Claude Julien also weighed in on the importance of the matchup on NESN Daily, so check out their interviews in the video above.

Tropical Flowers Greeting Card

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Combine brightly colored flowers and leaves on a greeting card perfect for summertime, a luau invitation, or just to brighten someone's day. To make quick work of the cutting, I used a personal electronic cutter, which gave me plenty of pieces to mix and match. Cutting machines are great for larger projects, such as party invitations, where you want to make a bunch of the same card. And don't miss the video (below) showing how I used the machine.
- Blank card and envelope
- Cardstock: assorted colors
- Personal electronic cutters with cutting mat, etc. (I used Cricut Expression 2 Anniversary Edition)
- Flowers and leaves cartridges or dies (I used the Cricut Essentials Cartridge which came with the machine)
- Background die (optional) (I used the Cricut Essentials Cartridge which came with the machine)
- Glue
- Cut a background for the front of the card. I used a name-plate-shaped cutout and sized it for my card, but you can just cut a rectangle. (I like to have a color block as a foundation for my design.)
- Cut out desired styles of flowers, branches, and leaves from your cardstock, sizing as desired. To give you some idea, my leaves are about 2-3/4" x 1-3/8", my flowers range from 1-1/4" to 1-1/2", and the long branches are about 3-1/2" to 4" long. You want to cut some shapes from darker colors and some lighter colors so there's contrast. To see how to cut these designs using the Cricut, watch the video below. (Ignore the references to "fabric"--it's paper!)
- Glue the layered flowers and leaves together. Mix and match colors as desired.
- Glue the background to the front of the card. Arrange and glue the leaves and branches as desired.
- Arrange the flowers as desired and glue in place.

DEFINITION of 'Repeat-Sales Method'
A way of calculating changes in the sales price of the same piece of real estate over time. Housing market analysts use repeat sales to estimate changes in home prices over a period of months or years. Various housing price indexes use the repeat-sales method to provide information about the housing market to homebuyers and sellers, housing market investors, and those working in the housing and housing finance industries.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Repeat-Sales Method'
Perhaps the most well-known housing index that uses the repeat-sales method is the Case-Shiller Index, which measures changes in house prices. It excludes new construction, condos and co-ops. It also excludes non-arms-length transactions, such as home sales between family members at below-market prices. It does include foreclosure sales. Other indexes that use the repeat-sales method are the Federal Housing Finance Agency's monthly House Price Index, which is based on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's data on single-family home sale prices and refinance appraisals; and CoreLogic's LoanPerformance Home Price Index, which covers a broader geographic area than the Case-Shiller or FHFA indexes. Canada's major home price index, the National Composite House Price Index, uses the repeat-sales method, too. Indexes such as these typically report changes in home prices from the previous month, quarter and year. Increasing home prices indicate increasing demand, while decreasing prices indicate decreasing demand.
An advantage of repeat-sales methods is that they calculate changes in home prices based on sales of the same property, so they avoid the problem of trying to account for price differences in homes with varying characteristics. Repeat-sales methods also offer a more accurate alternative to regression analysis or to calculating average sales price by geographic area. A shortcoming of repeat-sales methods is that they don't account for homes that were sold only once during the reported time period. These sales are also meaningful indications of housing market activity.

I haven't been posting much, but wanted to update. I had my first appt today and they didn't see a heart beat. Looks like baby stopped growing around 9 weeks and I'm almost 11 weeks. We're heartbroken and in shock, especially since this is our 2nd miscarriage this year.
Wishing you all a happy and health 9 months.

CONYERS — For the entire month of July, local pizza lovers will have a chance to indulge their love for the cheesy food and donate to a worthy cause at the same time.
Along with two other Cici's Pizza locations throughout the state, the Conyers branch of Cici's is kicking off a fundraiser for the Special Olympics Georgia. Customers will have the opportunity to purchase a $1 paper logo in exchange for a free regular-sized drink coupon, which will be redeemable in August with the purchase of an adult buffet order. All proceeds from the logo sales will benefit Special Olympics Georgia state programs.
"We've sold a few — about a hundred so far," said Conyers Cici's manager Melinda Harbor. "We just ask people when they come in if they want to donate."
Special Olympics athletes will be present for a meet-and-greet session with Cici's customers on July 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
To close the promotion on July 31, Cici's will host the "Cover the Cruiser" event, where customers will be challenged to purchase enough logos cover an entire law enforcement vehicle. Along with enveloping a cop car with the logos, Cici's will donate 10 percent of all of the July 31 sales to the Special Olympics Georgia cause.
"This is our third year to partner with Special Olympics, and we are honored to engage our teams and guests to benefit such an admirable organization again this year," said Diana Isaacson, CiCi's field marketing manager, in a press release. "CiCi's cares about its communities and all the families that make them great. We invite our guests to come in and help us support this worthy cause."
Special Olympics Georgia is a year-round sports training and athletic competition coordinator for Olympic-type events for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Along with the Conyers location, the Cici's locations in Decatur and Cumming will be taking part in the Georgia Special Olympics fundraising event. Cici's locations in Florida, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey and New York will be participating as well.
