Griffith's AC upgrade for 930 install thread
I've had my 930 for 10 years and the AC has never worked. I had determined at some point that the compressor was bad and I just never did get around to an R-134 changeover. Maybe I'm getting older, but I just wasn't using the car as much as I could have because of the oppressive temps the black on black coupe gets up to in the summer.
Researching here and elsewhere, I decided it's been long enough and I wanted to nuke this once and drive the car rather than nibble around the edges. I called Charlie Griffith (Kuehl on this board) and we worked out a plan for my 86:
Kuehl Stage 3 System
The rearward mounted Kuehl Condenser with a blower fan attached.
Complete new barrier hose set for system integrity.
A high low pressure switch to help protect the system
Receiver Drier.
R134 conversion oil and charge port adapters.
New o rings for all system connections
Plus options:
Kuehl improved evaporator box gasket kit.
Kuehl Evaporator with expansion valve and improved gasket kit,
Duehl Kuehl Condenser with full time blower fan, stone guard kit, mounting and electrical hardware. (mounted in front of the rear LH tire)
Center Kuehl vent
Kuehl Thermostat
Kuehl Serpentine Front Condenser
Denso Compressor

I'm doing the install myself, as my schedule permits. I drove the hour to his shop in (way) north NJ and met him and his son. Had a great walkthrough of the shop and the parts that I was purchasing, as well as some pointers on the install itself. It's nice to be local enough, and I'll run back over there for the evac and R-134 charging when I'm done with the install.
So far I've tackled the smuggler box overhaul and the new thermostat. The thermostat was a pain in the ass.
I believe I am the first person since the Stuttgart crew in 1986 to open the smugglers box. It was very dusty, foam gaskets tearing as I removed parts, and some little Porsche part number stickers floating around in there.
Here's a blurrier photo of the complete backache. Luckily I have recently replaced the two gas struts that hold the hood up, and have retired the Titleist 52* gap wedge that served for many years under there.

To get the front evaporator out, you need to remove the front floorboard to get at a little duct fastened to the firewall that projects into the box.
This was a surprise... there is an amplifier fastened to the backside of the floorboard. Some hack whaled into to wiring harness in several places. I'm leaving it for another day for now; the radio doesn't work and the exhaust is loud. Up to this point, I've usually had the windows down when I drove anyway. That should change with the AC upgrade underway.
This is what it looks like once it's all pulled out.
The little slide clips on the box are difficult enough to remove on the workbench. Charlie recommends ditching them and securing the two halves with some #4 screws for easier in place service of the fan in the future. I definitely concur. You'd never get the slide on clips on in the smugglers box.
There's some gaskets and baffles that Charlie has developed that require some box prep work, but it's very straightforward work.
Here's the new evaporator next to the original. Different construction and 25 years younger. As nice as it looks, I hopefully never see it again.

Thanks for sharing. I'll be watching your progress with great interest. Mine will need the complete rebuild. Especially after this Summer in the new dustbowl.

Swapping the thermostatic tube was tedious. First of all, it requires taking apart the cheesy console rack under the radio. Porsche left precious little extra wire length to work with. And the way the slots slide onto to each other was a truly frustrating experience. On my knees outside the car, reaching into the car under the dash, while getting occasional 2nd degree burns by my old school 75w drop light.
There was some dremel work required to a little plastic divider between the AC temp knob and the AC fan knob to fit the new thermostat. Another tidbit that I hope to not have to see again. Here's the new one next to the old bastard. I taped some auto wire to the old one before I pulled it, so I had a snake to repull the new one with. But the thermostat is fairly stiff, and cannot be bent sharply, so it's not as easy as it sounds. But it is done.
That's it for the first day. I hope that was the worst of it (and it really wasn't that bad, just physically tough from the contorting and bending over in the bonnet). I've got to read the directions to see what's up next in the sequence. He has the directions down to paint by numbers easy, probably to avoid all sorts of time-wasting phone calls into him. He did say figure on 8 hours to R&R the nearly 40ft of AC lines in the car. I just find that hard to believe, but I'll time myself for the heck of it when I get there.

I've done the low budget version, r134 conversion with the new fenderwell canister and the keuhl center vent. Overall it's cool but not ice cold. Cost around 500 total.

I am looking to do that on my 86 930 as well. I will be interested in your results. I think that I am going to do the 930 kit plus the new evaporator. I have the center vent already.
Good luck!

Sounds just like my story.
I have had my car for 12 years, it originally had AC but by the time I got it the compressor had been removed, so everything else came off about 10 years ago, with the thought I will fix it someday. Like you I have not been driving the car much so I decided now is the time to fix things, I too talked to Mr Griffith and ordered pretty much the same set-up except I plan on deleting the deck condenser added the upgraded blower motor with variable speed and will be making my own hoses.
All my stuff arrived last Friday and spent a good part of the weekend figuring out how to put it all back together again, Got the AC box rebuilt and re installed along with the variable speed fan setup, hopefully I sneak sometime this week to test things out.

I admire your efforts.
About ten years ago I bought the monster setup from Griffiths for a 76 930 I had. Triple condensers, all new hoses, compressor, evaporator - everything. I started to contemplate the under dash work, but then decided to have someone else do the entire installation.
The results were amazing. Laser temp was reading about 34 degrees at the vents. It would turn my knee caps blue.

OK- I got into a bit further today. I R&R'd several of the AC hoses, which isn't too bad because I've got the car quite high on four jackstands and have a nice Racedeck floor to just lay directly on. Most of the hose clamps, and there are many, are simple 8mm screws or nuts. The new hoses just reuse the same mounting points and hardware.
It's been said before, but the directions rock. And each part, each hose etc has a label on both ends for where it goes.
And the kit is complete. For example, it comes with the wires, the wire shield loom, the wire connectors, tie-wraps, and each wire is labeled as well. Again, you're paying for the engineering and the thoroughness of the solution and directions, but you are never taking a part out of the box and scratching your head over WTH it is or where it goes.
I had two surprises today. First, I found some broken glass behind the leatherette rear seat side panel. Since the car was a bit of a creampuff when I got it 10 years ago from an MD in Cali, I was not aware that this was not the car's first rodeo. I don't know how the glass could have got where it was... even if the side wing window was broken (by a thief or in an accident) I don't know how it would have got down behind this panel. Troubling. Like an exboyfriend or something.
The reason I had to go back there in the first place is that the frontmost condensor mounts to a longer seat-belt retractor bolt that you must install in place of the OEM bolt.
Here's the new longer bolt protruding into the wheel well.

Two posts so I don't timeout...
The other surprise is that there is a little fan above the front condenser, and it doesn't work. I found it while R&R-ing the condenser, and when I tried to spin it by hand, the squirrel cage was very stiff. So I took 12V direct from the battery to the motor and no joy. Quick call to Charlie and he offered to swap the motor with a more powerful one, and free up the fan cage itself etc. So, boxed it up and sent off for that "upgrade".
This shot is from the floor looking up where the condenser would be.
Here's a shot of the condensers: three bolts and it's out. Similar construction to the evaporator and the rear condensers that I'll post pics of in a minute.
Here's the front wheelwell condensor that mounts to the seat belt bolt I mentioned earlier.
Here it is partially installed. The other mount uses one of the torsion tube cover bolts.
I have one lousy image of the rear wheel well condensor setup, I'll put it up for now and then maybe add some better ones at another date.
I know I said I'd keep track of hours for the hoses, but it turns out the job unfolds in entire related phases. So rather than change every hose and install the new bits, it's install this, remove that, swap the hose, and run this wire etc. I bet I did put a solid 5 hours into it today spanning 10 hours with all sorts of errands and interruptions.
Unfortunately, it needs to lay up for a bit now while I travel next week.

Nice job! How hard is re-plumbing the hoses? I have this idea that it is going to be a real hassle to remove the old hoses and replace them. Your description does not sound hard, just time consumming.

Nothing difficult just takes time like you said.
If doing it at home you get to lay on the ground next to and under your car alot.
Safety glasses will help keep dirt out of your eyes while removing the old hoses, and if you're doing it in Florida during summmer a powerful fan or two for some comfort and bug spray for the mosquito's helps alot.

I am going to mitigate the Florida Factor by doing it in October or November! Good call on the bug repellent though. While the rest of the country bakes we are getting rain every day. It is actually quite nice but the mosquitoes are getting bad. They are big enough to be assigned side numbers!

In fact, I snuck out there for 3 more hours and banged out most of the rest of it.
Here's a shot of the line running from the decklid to the rearward Kuehl condenser.
This line goes from here all the way to the smuggler's box evaporator.
Two better shots of the rearward condenser, one of the lines runs to the other Kuehl condenser in the rear wheelwell, and the other goes to the decklid condenser. The install requires that you install the right angle sheet metal as a heat shield for the hose.
You can also get a peek at my virgin RarelyL8 heat boxes.
Here's the new dryer and associated lines to the evaporator and front condensor. It was rather difficult removing the old lines to the front condenser; they go over the water bottle and into parts unknown before they emerge at the front. After pulling from the wheelwell and cussing at them for quite a while, I cut them in half and pulled them from the front. I was dreading snaking the new ones, but it took 1/4 the amount of time it took to remove the old ones. Not the typical experience, but a welcome one.
One of the last things is to swap the hose fittings from the old compressor to the new one. I need to run to the hardware store for a schraeder tire valve stem removal tool to discard the R-12 sized fittings.
I'm pretty much done. Unfortunately, I need to travel this upcoming week so it'll all have to sit.

If you remove the fuel expansion tank behind the headlight bucket and big water tank for the wipers and headlight washers below it then you'd see how the AC lines going to and from the front condensor are routed.
Those two plastic tanks are held up in place with one bolt each. The 2 gallon water tank holds up to 2 gallons of water so support it when loosening the bolt on the strap clamp that holds it up in place so it doesn't drop down quickly possibly popping out or breaking off one of the 3 washer line nipples pressed into the screw on plastic cap on top. BTDT and repaired it with superglue.
The reason the origonal AC lines were really hard to pull out of that area is because the factory routed them behind the bracket that the front bumper shocks are mounted on. That was to hold them snug in place against the side of the chassis in that area and it's a tight fit.
You probably can't see that and you can't get your hands at them to feed the hoses through that spot while the expansion tank and washer bottle is in place.
Lots of road dirt and dust falling down and getting in your eyes and nose is the unpleasent part of replacing the AC lines. Other than that it's a satisfying job as you get it done.
Good luck with the AC.

Thanks Jim. As so often is the case, had I spent a little time up front and removed the thing blocking me instead of struggling around it, I actually would have saved some time.
One last note- I decided to check my decklid condenser for contamination and holy crow, I'm glad I did. A Q-tip swab came out pure gray. I bought some AC flush after checking with Griff on my options, and proceeded to flush and then use compressed air to clean out the condenser. The amount of fine gritty crap I got out was impressive. I'm glad the one original part that I am reusing will not be contaminating my otherwise entirely brand new system. I strongly suggest anyone doing an upgrade but reusing something of the old system perform the series of flushes to clean it out.
Here's the color of some of the flush I got out (and yes, the flush is clear in color) and remember, this is just from the smallish rear condenser.

As a late comer to poem hunter, your comments and your recent poems drew my attention. I am fascinated by your deep insights, and wish to draw your attention to Rabindranath Tagore in this connection. I have been a follower of Tagore's poetic rhythms and his songs since I was seven. So, Tagore gradually became my idol of my adult life. Please read some of the poems in PH that I recently translated to get my thoughts across, though impossible to bring the same feeling in another language. Thank you very much dear poet Savita Tyagi, along with my sincere thanks to all PH poets!

Each and every particle in this nature has its own quality. diamond under mine does not reflect because it is covered. it is not zest making to write poem. any one may write thousand pages in a day but can not pour the emotion. every skill has its own importance but poetry writing is a super skilled. Savita Ma'am has wonderful talent of composing poem with supreme thoughts and emotions. I find serenity and tranquility in her every write though it is tough to judge a poet.I only wish and pray for her long and sound life, naturally she'd create more and more wonderful and amazing poem. My regards for her is always in my heart. with due regards.
Akhtar Jawad
Savita Tyagi is poetess whose thinking reaches at the places that are long distant and path of the place is an stony one, but she never stopped her journey, she walked forward and she is still walking forward.

nice poems. you are great in showing feels.that shows a good improvement. i invite you to read my poems at my poets page. that is a friendly invitation.
At the onslaught of winter stripped of their possessions trees stand in silent prayer.
Grey clouds hang low just above the black trees as if to kiss them goodbye
The milky white glow of moon creates a longing
Is it possible to reach out to unknown?
I get not answer in that cold and still night.
Flowers huddled together still spread their fragrance
Soon the merciless frost of winter will kill the bloom.
Gofers in my backyard have created mounds of dirt to settle deep in warm earth.

I had braces from July of 2002 to July of this year. From July '02 to December of that same year, I had this device called a tongue crib in my mouth. It had this annoying little piece of metal hanging down from my mouth so my tongue wouldn't rest against my front teeth. For the first few months I had to crank the thing to expand my jaw. Once that was gone, I moved onto elastics that would go from the top to the bottom of my mouth. I lost these in December of 2003, I think. This past July, the braces came off, and in came the retainer, which unfortunatley has that annoying tongue crib device. But now I'm used to the thing, but before (the first time around) I couldn't eat or talk properly for a month. I have those inside braces that Erica mentioned above, too. At my next appointment, I think I can loose my retainer and I get to decide if I want to keep the inner guys or not. I think I'll keep them, I see no reason to loose them.
I don't have the problem of remembering to put my retainer in. I never take it out except to eat (although I'm supposed to keep it in during that too :\).
My braces were plain silver. I don't see why you'd want coloured ones. Why would you want blue teeth? My braces were small too.

Levesque scored twice against New York last year.
Sounders fans received an unexpected jolt when the Seattle Times' Steve Kelley, in a column this morning, revealed that veteran Roger Levesque would retire after Wednesday's home friendly against European champions Chelsea FC.
Levesque scored twice against New York last year.
It's an unusual move by an unconventional athlete.
Levesque, just 31, clearly can still play: for the first time this year, he started at forward against San Jose in a U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal last month, went all the way, and performed well in the Sounders' 1-0 win. A fan favorite in Seattle for several years, Levesque has worn a Sounders uniform since 2003, when he began playing for the United Soccer League franchise, which he led to league titles in 2005 and 2007.
He made 130 appearances over six seasons for the USL's A-League and First Division Sounders, with 27 goals and 16 assists.
Highly valued for his versatility (he can play up front, in the midfield and at right back), Levesque made a career-high 19 appearances for the Sounders last year, with nine starts, three goals and two assists. He played in just four MLS contests this season, starting two, and has not seen action in the past 14 league matches, last playing April 14 vs. Colorado.
Over the years, he's endeared himself to Sounders fans with a number of memorable goals--and even more memorable celebrations. Unpopular to begin with in Portland, he earned the wrath of the Rose City forever after scoring a stunning first-minute goal against the Timbers in a 2009 U.S. Open Cup third-round match at PGE Park, then standing like a tree and allowing himself to be "chopped down" by teammate Nate Jaqua.
Three rounds and two months later, he scored the game-winner against D.C. United in the final as the Sounders captured the first of their three U.S. Open Cups, his 86th-minute goal silencing a hostile crowd at RFK Stadium. Levesque repeated the feat the following July at D.C., beating United with a diving header in the 89th minute.
In last June's 4-2 home victory against New York, he made an exaggerated pirate face after netting a running header midway through the second half, putting Seattle up 3-2, then topped that in the 78th minute. With Seattle clinging to the one-goal lead, he stole the ball after Red Bulls keeper Greg Sutton badly mishandled a clearance, raced past Sutton to score his second goal, then ran over to the boards behind the goal, sat on top, plugged his nose and toppled over backward like a scuba diver:
After walking away from the game he's played since he was growing up in Portland, Maine, Levesque--who has an economics degree from Stanford--plans to enroll at the University of Washington and pursue an MBA, with the intention of eventually working for a nonprofit.
Levesque will cross paths with former Sounders teammate Sebastien Le Toux Sunday after Vancouver traded the veteran forward to New York for midfielder Dane Richards on Friday night. Le Toux, who played alongside Levesque from 2007-09, scored 24 goals in the Sounders' final two USL-1 seasons and was the first player signed by a fledgling Sounders FC in May 2008. After scoring one goal in 2009, he was selected by Philadelphia in the expansion draft and racked up 26 goals and 20 assists in the Union's first two seasons.
The 28-year-old Frenchman, traded to Vancouver in January, played in all 19 matches for the Whitecaps, with four goals and an assist. Le Toux has continued an impressive streak: He has not received as much as a yellow card (let alone red) in MLS play over his three and a half seasons, a run of 111 matches that includes two postseason contests last year.
Levesque's departure frees up a roster spot just as the summer transfer window opens wide. The Sounders, who added Leo Gonzalez, Blaise Nkufo, and Alvaro Fernandez via transfer over the past three summers, have indicated an interest in German midfielder Christian Tiffert, a 30-year-old with a dozen years of professional experience who played the past three seasons for Kaiserslautern of the Bundesliga, which was relegated to the second division after the just-concluded season.
There's injury news on the Sounders front, and for once, it's good: first-string keeper Michael Gspurning, who has missed the past 12 matches since suffering an strained hip May 2 against Los Angeles, will travel East with the team and could start against a Red Bull squad that is unbeaten in seven matches at home (5-0-2), has scored 32 goals, third in MLS, and is loaded with offensive talent--Kenny Cooper, who played for Portland last year, leads New York with 11 goals, while Thierry Henry, a star over the past 14 years for France, Arsenal and Barcelona, has scored nine goals and set up five more despite playing in just 11 matches. If Gspurning can't go, rookie Bryan Meredith will make his third straight start.
Sounders forward Eddie Johnson, with five goals in his past six MLS matches and a team-leading eight overall, has been getting all the attention lately, but keep a eye on Fredy Montero, who hasn't scored since May 19 at Vancouver--a streak that has stretched to 523 minutes--but has four goals in five career matches against the Red Bulls.
This is the fourth East Coast trip the Sounders have taken this season, and it's their last, at least until the postseason (perhaps at D.C. or New York for the MLS Cup, if you who dare to dream big). It signals a significant change in a schedule that has been grueling over two long stretches through the first four months; after Sunday, Seattle plays 14 more matches, all against Western Conference teams, with the longest flight to Dallas in early September, 12 of the 14 on the West Coast, and seven at home, including three of the final four.
The Sounders make two long trips in the season's final three months, with the CONCACAF Champions League schedule dictating flights--far from direct--to Trinidad & Tobago and Honduras. The latter match, against Honduran power Marathon, is in the middle of a week-long mid-September stretch that begins with a match at Portland and ends at home against West-leading San Jose, a contest that's been circled on fans' calendars since the Earthquakes' controversial 1-0 victory here on the final day of March.

The new home of
This Cottage is brought to you by:
From a touch of luxury to characterful heritage, experience one of our truly inspiring holiday properties.
Set on the beautiful Kildalloig Estate on The Mull of Kintyre, Fisherman's Cottage offers magnificent coastal walks.
These cottages (refs SBW and SRRL see below for individual description) are set on the beautiful Kildalloig Estate on The Mull of Kintyre. Set against the rugged beauty of the sea and the wild landscape of the Kintyre Peninsula, they provide an idyllic sanctuary, offering modern amenities and historic coastal charm. Surrounded by natural beauty and sea views, each cottage is comfortably furnished, provides wonderful character and history and has been thoughtfully arranged to accommodate couples, honeymooners, families, golfers, hikers, birdwatchers and other visitors. There are wonderful stretches of secluded beach and coastal walks (with coves and rockpools, ideal for children), and the fascinating little island of Davaar with its lighthouse, cave painting and wild goats which can be reached on foot at low tide. There are marvellous walks along the coast and through woodland on the Estate – where seals, otters and a variety of birds can be seen – and in the hills, where golden eagles soar. The cottages provide the classic Scottish seaside holiday spot - with an abundant number of rocky and sandy beaches close by and pristine sandy beaches within 5-15 minutes' drive. Activities locally include surfing, sea fishing, horse trekking, mountain biking and island hopping to Gigha, Islay and Arran. Kintyre is home to five golf courses - the most famous is the championship course at Macrihanish with its stunning and infamous first hole. There are a further two 18-hole golf courses - Southend and Machrihanish Dunes and two excellent 9-hole courses in Carradale and Tarbet. Campbeltown (4 miles) has supermarkets, shops, restaurants and leisure centre (with swimming pool, gym, sauna and sun beds). In its day, Campbeltown had over 30 whisky distilleries. Today only two survive – Glen Scotia and Springbank, with the latter offering tours by appointment. Further attractions in Campbeltown include the Campbeltown Cross, the quaint Art Deco cinema, the Birds of Prey centre, the Museum, the Linda McCartney memorial garden and the Mull Lighthouse. Shops and pub 3 miles.
Set right next to a secluded beach, Fisherman's Cottage is wonderfully romantic and private.

Overall Rating
Electronic Payment Exchange (epx.com) is an international merchant account provider that serves a wide range of business types. Launched in 1979, the company also operates under the name of Phoenix Payment Systems. Electronic Payment Exchange is headquartered at 1201 N. Market Street, Suite 701, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 and is branded as "a North American Bancard company." This likely means that the company resells the services of North American Bancard. Nancy Reilly is listed as the CFO of Electronic Payment Exchange.

|Key Points – Sales & Marketing
|Uses independent resellers?
|Promotes deceptive rate quotes?
|Discloses all important terms?
Electronic Payment Exchange appears to market itself through an in-house sales team and various partnerships. There is no indication that the company employs independent agents at this time, and we are currently unable to locate any negative Electronic Payment Exchange reviews that accuse the company's sales team of unethical tactics. The company also does not appear to engage in deceptive advertising strategies in its official materials. Although the company is apparently owned by North American Bancard, we will score it independently of its parent company and award it an "A" in this category.

Costs & Contract | A
|Key Points – Costs & Contract Terms
|Swiped rate:
|Keyed-in rate:
|Termination fee:
|PCI compliance fee:
|Equipment lease:
There is very little information available at this time about the standard Electronic Payment Exchange contract. The company markets itself as an all-in-one direct processor, which would mean that it does not resell the services of a larger credit card processor. However, it is also a subsidiary of North American Bancard, which suggests that it probably resells North American Bancard contracts. At this time, there are no complaints that specifically mention unfavorable contract terms offered by the company, and the company's exact terms are unclear. If you have any knowledge of the standard Electronic Payment Exchange merchant agreement, please share that information in the comment section of this review.
Complaints & Service | A+
|Key Points – Complaints & Service
|Total complaints:
|Live customer support:
|Most common complaint:
As of this update, we are unable to locate any Electronic Payment Exchange complaints that accuse the company of being a scam or a ripoff. In fact, there appear to be zero negative reviews of Electronic Payment Exchange across all consumer protection websites. This indicates that the company employs a helpful, available customer support team that resolves issues before they are taken to public forums. The Electronic Payment Exchange website lists a dedicated phone support number for merchant support.
BBB Report | A*
|Key Points – BBB Report
Electronic Payment Exchange is not an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau. As of this review, the company holds an "A+" rating with the BBB and has zero reported complaints within the last 36 months. The company has also received zero informal reviews on its BBB profile, but it is worth noting that these reviews are not subject to verification by the BBB. Given the company's spotless complaint record, we agree with the BBB's rating in this case.

Bottom Line
Electronic Payment Exchange Review
Rated out of 5 Stars
Reviewed by Phillip Parker
Reviewed on 2015-04-09
According to all available information, Electronic Payment Exchange rates as a reliable merchant services provider. There are very few specific details available about the company's sales tactics, contract terms, and customer service, but we have interpreted the overall absence of complaints to be a positive indicator of its service quality. The company's rating may be subject to change as more information comes to light. Even when dealing with highly rated providers, merchants are advised to read their contract terms carefully.

Hello all,
I recently changed the discussion options on my blog so that all comments are moderated, but comments are still being posted directly to my blog.
I had to make this change because I have a nasty commenter leaving an offensive/obscene comment every 15-30 minutes or so (no kidding) and every time I blacklist his IP/email he changes it.
Please help! I'm using WordPress 2.6 and have the following options selected in the Settings -> Discussion panel:
Before a comment appears:
- An administrator must always approve the comment
- Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
Anyone know how to enable comment moderation? I thought the above was all I needed to do but apparently not. Thanks for your time.

New book on Vt environmentalism to be launched in Montpelier
MONTPELIER The authors of a new book about the environmental movement in Vermont will discuss it Tuesday evening at the Goddard Art Gallery in downtown Montpelier.
The authors, Elizabeth Courtney and Eric Zencey, will be there from 5 to 7:30 p.m. to talk about the book, the last 50 years of the environmental movement, what they learned in writing the book, and what Vermonts experience may mean for the planet.
Greening Vermont: The Search for a Sustainable State explores how the arrival of the petroleum economy in the 1950s transformed the state, and the response of the environmental movement.
Courtney has been a landscape architect, the executive director of the Vermont Natural Resources Council and a member and chairwoman of Vermonts Act 250 Environmental Board.
Zencey has held multiple fellowships, including a Guggenheim, and is the author of the best-seller Panama. He is a fellow at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics and a board member of VNRC.

Master Chief by FallenDawWatch
©2012-2016 FallenDaw
I haven't uploaded anything in so long, so I decided to make a Master Chief concept!
What the hell happened to his legs?
Can't believe Covenants finally broke them. I hope you gonna make some real digital art on Chief in the future. You have skills but not enough to create memorable art. Copying art from pictures is a start. But it's nothing comparing to what you can achieve buy understanding full armor.
This was a warm up sketch from a few years ago man lmao calm down. You're being rude for no reason whatsoever. Try constructive criticism my friend. I have no problem taking suggestions and criticism but saying I can't create memorable art is pretty offensive. Don't make assumptions. PLUS I haven't updated Deviantart in almost 2 years.
very nice!
Aw yeah, supah cool.
Nicely done.
Wow. Need to play Halo 4. Definitely. Great drawing.
Nice work

Andy Davis On Mountain Stage
Set List
- "Good Life"
- "Let the Woman"
- "Beautiful Day for Bad News"
- "Brown Eyes"
Still in his 20s, Nashville pop singer Andy Davis is an engaging performer who utilizes anyone willing to sing or clap along. In this performance, Davis plays songs from his proper debut album (Let the Woman), accompanies himself on piano, showcases his iPhone on drum programming and converts the Mountain Stage audience into his own backing band.
Andy Davis moved to Nashville in 1999 and caught the songwriting bug soon after. Fellow singer-songwriter Dave Barnes asked Davis to join him on tour, prompting Davis to compile rough mixes of his songs. He titled the collection Thinks of Her and burned his own CDs, fashioning the packaging himself.
The record soon garnered the attention of a Nashville A&R group, which reissued a remixed and professionally packaged version of Think of Her, which eventually sold 4,000 copies. Let the Woman highlights his smooth tenor and penchant for hooks.
This segment originally ran on Jul. 29, 2008.

My DS sucks his thumb at night and during naps. I'm a little concerned about the habit, but more concerned about what to do with the state of his thumb. It's very chapped and has now split and bleeds occasionally. I tried putting a bandaid on it, but he wouldn't keep it on. (Not sure I wanted to do that because of the choking hazard anyway.) I don't think I should use liquid bandage either- I wouldn't want him to suck that off. Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do?
What to do for split thumb
Comments (7)
I have a friend whose lo did this, although he was younger, I reccomended her putting a sock over his hand, because it too was getting chapped and gross looking. She got some heavy duty lotion and would put a tighter sock around his hand and it worked for the most. I know he is older now and does still occasionally suck on his hand, but its not as bad as it was. Sorry not to have much advice.
I think if the liquid bandage isn't toxic or going to make him sick, I'd go that route. Maybe it'll taste icky enough to make him not want to suck his thumb anymore.
If it were me, I'd use something as a moisturizer on the finger which is safe to eat - cocoa butter or regular butter, or some shea butter. If you want to discourage the sucking practice, you could include something in the moisturizer which would make it taste unpleasant .. like a bit of Tabasco sauce, perhaps ..
That's a great idea, too. Maybe the stuff that's used for chapped and cracked nipples during BFing would do the trick.
Put the liquid bandage on it and then get the anti thumb sucking stuff to put over it. The taste will pull him away from that thumb
Mommy to 3 October boys (05, 07, 09), a Feb '12 boy, a Dec '13 boy, and will be having another addition in August '15!
Just a suggestion, I'd get the thumb healed up first...then maybe try bitter apply spray on it when your LO goes down for a nap or to bed so he'll not want to suck on it :) Good luck!

Both of my dc suck their thumbs. My dd has had a callous (sp?) on her thumb since she was very small. It sometimes bleeds, too. I haven't been able to do anything to heal it. She is 3.5 now, and it is just something that we live with. I don't think it is harmful, I just scrub it really well to keep infection out. DS hasn't developed a callous yet, but sometimes his gets irritated and red.

Mobile clinic raises concernsFebruary 22,2013NEWPORT Officials are concerned that a mobile methadone clinic in Vermont is not safe after a recent attempted robbery.
They feel the clinic, which parks each morning at the Newport city recycling center, isnt secure enough after a man approached a staffer last month at its nearby administrative headquarters. They say he demanded methadone and ran away without any after the staffer said she didnt have access to the drug, which is kept locked.
The Caledonian-Record reported that officials have suggested to the City Council that the treatment center be relocated to an office with a secured and locked entry.
Seven years ago, the city agreed to the mobile clinic. The idea initially was that it would serve other communities, too. But many patients have been going to the Newport location.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The House Democratic leadership backed away from a vote on legalizing marijuana...

Bugzilla – Bug 6435
Update CoG jar
Last modified: 2008-10-24 16:48:51
You need to

before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Update CoG jars to the latest with fixes for bugs dependent on this bug.
Updated CoG jar with fixes for dependent bugs. Committed to trunk, 4.0 branch
and 4.2 branch.
For 6498, setting the following property will disable requiring authorization
with delegation (with GSI Secure Conversation)
Will this new JAR replace cog-jglobus.jar in GT4.0.9 and cog-jglobus-1.4.1.jar
in GT4.2.1? If so, what is the version number of this new JAR and where can I
get a copy (to upgrade CoG jglobus JAR in GridShib)?
Yes, the updated jars will be part of next release. You can get the jars from
WSRF code base, here is viewcvs from HEAD and they have version number:
4.0 branch jar will not be tagged until release, but you should get the jar
from WSRF code base.
I am curious: do you actually copy a version of CoG jars? I assumed you just
built against the Java WS Core.
Sorry for reopening this bug previously. That wasn't necessary. I wasn't
thinking, I guess.
(In reply to comment #3)
> http://viewcvs.globus.org/viewcvs.cgi/wsrf/java/common/source/lib/?pathrev=HEAD
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know.

run 'ant install', done.

Lightning lighting up the stage.
Awesome! This reminds me of "Brütal Legend"! xD
AMAZING! good luck in contest
Cool outfits!
P.S. you drawing the 4 strings - so it bass, but the fretboard is too short for the bass-guitar.
Thanks for pointing that out. I wanted the weapon to be able to be held by one hand, so I had to shorten it..
I will take note the next time I draw a bass, thanks!
Lightning is outrageous. Truly truly truly outrageous :3
Haha, this looks amazing! Great job!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1103 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Deanna17 Great location and views! We enjoyed our stay at the Westin, the staff at the front desk and concierge were very helpful. The location is great, walking distance to Shopping and Pike Market. We stayed in a grandview room and the views are amazing, the bed is comfortable. The only disappointment I have with the hotel is they like to charge for everything. The in room movies are expensive, they charge for local calls, and in room wifi, which can be inconsistent as to whether it is working or not. Parking is expensive with the hotel, but there is another parking garage connected to the hotel that you can prepay for $25 per night. April 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by KellieF poor experience the bathroom ceiling was stained and dirty , the bathroom floor was unclean. The maid had turned the shower head out toward the sink so when I turned on the shower the entire bathroom was soaked. The room was not cleaned until after 2 pm each day. The 20% restocking of the drinks and snacks is outrageous - especially as they were not restocked!! I usually really enjoy the Westin but this was very disappointing. Minimum of 10 dollars a day for internet in the room is not business friendly. April 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MJWIN POOR IF YOU ARE ATTENDING A CONFERENCE AT THIS HOTEL CHOOSE AN OFF-SITE HOTEL TO STAY IN. MY EXPERIENCE OVERALL WAS POOR. HINDSITE I SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT ANOTHER HOTEL. April 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Luci35 Westin Hotel Downtown The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a safe in the room. It lacked minimal amenities such as a refrigerator and microwave oven. The restaurant needs to offer more variety of vegetarian options. April 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Meganrehm85 Great location in downtown Seattle I just stayed here four days and the location is perfect - within walking distance to Pikes Place Market, the Space Needle & Olympic Sculpture Gardens, the Waterfront, Pioneer Square, and the ferries. The rooms were comfortable and since we stayed on the 16th floor we didn't hear any traffic at night. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a huge nursing conference going on when we were there so unfortunately it took quite a while to get an elevator sometimes or we'd here people coming back to their rooms really late, but other than that good stay. What you'd expect from a Westin. April 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by consultanttraveler Outdated hotel with subpar facilities The Westin here is old and is in need of updating, the room feels old and really, there's not a lot of space. The facilities, especially the gym leave you wanting - it comprises two small rooms on different levels - one for cardio and another for weights. The weights room is so small it can hardly accommodate 3 people at once. I'm not exaggerating. There are no windows either. The only restaurant in the building produces awful food - and the hotel is not ready to acknowledge it as I was told the burgers were "rated best in town". I couldn't even finish the burger as it was horrible. Don't even bother with this place. The only redeeming feature of this hotel is the staff - they are friendly and do a great job. April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by retired13 Fantastic place for romantic getaway Beautiful view of Seattle waters and city. Quiet room with no sounds audible in hallway or other rooms. Very comfortable bed. Great location. April 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SeattleStay Hotel Service Great, room service food bad Kyle at the front desk was great, very friendly and recognized I was an SPG guest immediately, even though the room was booked under my wife's name. He put us in a great room with a view and the kids loved it. The bar service was also very good and the server was friendly. The waitress interacted with my entire family. Only negative was room service food. The individual that brought food was very friendly and apologized for the delay. However, the food was 25 mintues later than we were told. As a result, the yogurt was warm and the scrambled eggs had calcified on the exterior, which made them nasty to try and eat. I would not order room service again. April 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by joyce46 Great location but my room was little dirty The location was great. Right in downtown and close to shops, restaurants, transportations, and attractions. I would recommend this Westin for these reasons but I only wish my room was cleaner. April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by summerwestin SPG Fan We love traveling to the Northwest. Westin Downtown Seattle is the best. The staff is exceptional and the location is within walking distance of everywhere you want to be downtown. The views of the city from the room are spectacular. Thanks for much to the Westin Downtown Seattle. April 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rich1221 District Manager I really liked your hotel but what really made my visit special was Camila. She is soooo customer service oriented. She kept in constant contact and made sure that my meeting needs were met. She is very professional and friendly. Also your Tangent room should be a big hit. The room is welll designed for small meetings. The only upgrade I would suggest is to get better chairs - the chairs in the room are hard to sit in aall day. April 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by saurabh311 Good hotel with few not so good things Well I had an overall good stay at the hotel with few bad things. I will list down all in detail. Good things: 1. Location is really good, can't be better. Easy access to monorail for space needle, walking distance from downtown attractions and places 2. Staff is amazing! All are very good and attend to needs promptly. Right from front desk, to housekeeping, and to people at the lounge! Full marks here 3. Outside architecture is nice Bad things: 1. Hotel requires renovation. Elevators are old, and broke down couple of times 2. Swimming pool and jacuzzi maintenance is bad. They put so much chlorine that the entire 5th level smells of chlorine even when you are passing by in an elevator. And when I used jacuzzi, water was dirty. I have a suggestion, please clean pool and jacuzzi at least once in a day or two days, rather than using excess chlorine as an excuse. 3. Most important, food in the restaurant was pathetic! Relish bistro is such an over hyped place. I ordered Beans burger and it was probably the worst burger I've had so far. For a vegetarian, there are no options. Tomato soup was more like offering canned tomato puree. And in breakfast I could only have granola with yogurt! And moreover these guys politely refuse to make something vegetarian. This is certainly not acceptable in a hotel which caters to international travelers of varied food preferences. March 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by WAEastsider Usually great, but not so great this time My husband and I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and we keep coming back because it is so wonderful. Unfortunately this time around was not such a good experience. The room we stayed in had a bowed bed...kind of like sleeping in a hammock. Not what you expect from a hotel that boasts about the Heavenly bed. Furthermore the pillows were lumpy and really should have been retired some time ago. The worst part of the stay was that both Saturday and Sunday mornings there was NO hot water. There is nothing like staying at a nice hotel and taking a cold shower. And to top everything off, there were some very loud, very rude guests in the room next to us at 2:30 AM, however security was quick to take care of the problem when we called the front desk. Although this was a depressing stay at one of our favorite hotels, we will likely be back and give it another try. Great location and atmosphere! March 31, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by cm2014 Carpets still smell like smoke The carpets in the lobby still smell like smoke, if you needed more indications of how dingy they are than how dingy they look. There were loud mechanical clicking sounds coming from inside the walls of my room, it was like getting 25 wakeup calls every hour. The drain gurgled so loud I had to close the bathroom door. The ice machine across the hall must have had a motor form the '70s. I swear I'm a decent sleeper. All this even woke up my 5 year old, and she sleeps through anything. March 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BabyIchiko Valet Parking a lifesaver! I just wanted to commend your valet parking staff on the excellent job they all did this weekend exceeding our expectations. They were very efficent with our several ins and outs and needs to retrieve items from our vehicle. They even made my 8 year old feel special. We did have an issue at one point locating our keys and they bent over backwards to make the situation right. Their superb customer service will bring us back next year! March 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob71 Great hotel, restaurant not to expeectations I was attending a conference being held at thew Westin. Great central location. Conference facilities and food service were excellent. Room was 5 star with harbor view. We chose "green" option for entire stay and easily got more coffee and paper goods as we need them. "Relish" restaurant was not up to expectations for a Westin. First morning, we were kept waiting 30 minutes even though there were at least ten tables vacant. Dinner selection was very limited. Last day, we got seated promptly for breakfast, but waited much too long for waiter. Restaurant food quality was above average, however. March 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hollyde Great for hotel for a powerful conference I loved the "green" option for more than environmental reasons. In general, I prefer to not have my room serviced during multiple day stays. It was nice to never be bothered yet it was easy to get additional toilet paper etc. My only complaint is the Concierge seemed on break entirely too often the day I checked in. I ended up walking an extra couple miles due to a helpful employee who did not know the city. Later in the stay the Concierge was always there. How about a back-up Concierge? Oh, a female manager was non-chalet at 5:30 p.m. when we could not get dinner recommendations - we went entirely via a Google search. Why is a Concierge taking their "lunch break" (what mgr said) during prime dinner recommendation time. This was on Mon Mar 24. March 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dd1111111 Outdated Westin This bed was not "heavenly". Old rooms and scuff marks on doors. March 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barrik Brilliantly Managed, A Luxury Property The Westin Seattle has it all - style, grace, views, features/ amenities, and the most professional and knowledgeable staff in the hospitality industry today. The front of the house runs with brilliant precision - as a frequent traveler for business and leisure one couldn't wish for more. The property is clearly well managed and schooled in the highest arts of hospitality. Make this your destination of choice in Seattle: relax and enjoy the sights, great food, and arts this city has to offer... or just get to business with more elan! March 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mommymagpie Great Place for a family to stay I spent three days in Seattle over Spring Break with my two children, I choose the Westin for its location which couldn't have been any better. Just across from the Monorail and a short walk to Pike Place. Check in went smooth, very friendly staff, offered us free wifi in the room for being SPG members. Also gave us complimentary late check out when she heard our train was leaving so late in the day. The pool was the real selling feature, the kids loved it! The gym is clean and has every thing you need for a workout. The beds and bedding were amazing, everything was spotless. I will stay at the Westin again and again. March 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by TVDirector SPG Room Credit My ONLY complaint is that being in a group, we do not get day credits for being a member of SPG. I have been at your hotel over 2 weeks in the last month with more stays coming up in April and Aug. I don't understand why we don't get the credit as WE are staying there. Airlines and other hotel groups give us the credit...... Why ask for my card when i check in and why be a member of your hotel? March 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lola34 Great Seatle Downtown Location I highly recommend this hotel for convenience to the many attractions of the Seattle downtown area. The hotel is full service with very pleasant accomodations. March 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Moonie Conference Stay I was very happy with my stay. I was there for 5 nights and once I was in the room I never knew there were other people in the hotel. It was quiet and very comfortable. It was in a perfect location, only a short walk, cab, or monorail ride away from all the big tourist spots. Water pressure in the shower would be my only negative. March 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by majalala just what I wanted lovely room...staff is well trained... lobby is delightful.. hotel close to the venues I attended March 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by FrequentTraveller68 Does not live up to a Westin I happen to love staying at a Westin hotel and was particularly disappointed in this hotel. The check in process for SPG members took forever. The water in the shower was sporadic and oscillated between hot and cold. The gym was this cramped version tucked into a windowless room. No club lounge either. All in all, it just does not compare to the other Westins I have stayed in. March 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Marie1218 Guest Billing Not only was I charged incorrectly for a bottle of water during my stay, but I contacted the guest billing department four times with absolutely no call back or email. When I called the billing department, there is no human being who answers the phone, and I had to go to the front desk to get a connection to a human being in the billing department. I am a gold SPG member, and I have never had so many problems including an incorrect bill and a non-responsive billing department. March 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tinab84 Hotel has great features This Hotel was very comfortable, staff was super friendly. It had a nice bar, pool, spa to your room, and restaurant. Also, a great location. Everything I was looking for in a hotel. The only issue were the extremely slow elevators but aside from that, my stay was excellent. March 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Young430 Location Is Everything !!! The hotel has great food at the restaurant and excellent customer service. It was wonderful to see so much in walking distants from food to shopping. Looking forward to returning soon. March 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Shannon01 Elevator Issues A number of times during the weekend the elevators simply just weren't working. Apparently there was some kind of a dance competition going on that we would have liked to known about - might have changed our mind about staying here. Millions of girls screaming. We tried taking the stairs but the doors going up were locked. I thought this might be against the fire code. Also, checking in took a very long time. Not what I'd say a Starwood feature. March 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by PDX2014 No movies, old towels. We were excited to celebrate a night in Seattle for our daughter's 10th Birthday. But, we found out that we couldn't rent a movie...which was not stated upon our arrival. Then when I called to ask what was happening, the just said the hotel was upgrading to HD and we wouldn't be able to rent a movie. My 10 year-old was bummed. Then I thought to call back and ask for the Wi-fi to be waved so we could watch one on our Ipad. They did wave the fee...but I was pretty put off that they hadn't given us a solution before without us having to ask. Also...old towels. Not that luxurious of an experience with old, flat towels. The room was cramped and tv in an awkward position. March 17, 2014

MLB Confidential: Who are the best umpires?
Question: Who are the three best umpires?
Best umpires:
1. Jim Joyce (named on 53% of surveys)
2. Tim McClelland (34%)
3. Jim Wolf (15%)
4. Greg Gibson (9%)
5. Ed Rapuano (7%)
6. Doug Eddings (6%)
T7. Ted Barrett, Laz Diaz, Angel Hernandez, Tim Tschida: (4%)
The top spot was a battle between Joyce and McClelland, with many players saying they would have called it a tie ... until Joyce's humbling admission that he botched the biggest call of his career. "The sad thing about the Galarraga game is, Jim Joyce is seriously one of the best umpires around," one NL player told ESPN The Magazine. "He always calls it fair, so players love him. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's terrible that this happened to him." A distant third, Jim Wolf, grabbed some love, too. "I asked Jim Wolf a question one time during a game," an NL pitcher said. "He was really polite and explained his stance. I ended up going back to the tape, and he was right."

After Jim Joyce's blown call at first base cost Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game, MLB umpires came under harsh scrutiny. To test the current climate of player-umpire relations, ESPN The Magazine grilled 100 MLBers about the boys in blue. Here's what we found:
1. Who are the three best umpires in baseball?
2. Who are the three worst umpires in baseball?
3. Which umpire has the quickest hook?
4. Grade the overall performance of umpires, "A" through "F."
5. Should there be replay on base calls?
6. Should there be replay on fair/foul calls?
7. Should Bud Selig have overturned the result of the Galarraga near-perfect game?
