Zen and the art of Demotivational

Genre: Fantasy
Number of pages: 336
What's the basic story line?
Lindelin Rosenquist is mourning her dead pet vole, Rufus, when she receives a mysterious letter containing a key. The key opens a door to Sylver, a magical world full of super-size animals that used to be pets. All is not right in Sylver, and Lin discovers she is a Twistrose, a visitor who must help turn things around. She must find the Winter Prince in order to protect Sylver from evil. Her companions include Rufus, a wily fox named Teodor, and other woodland creatures. Her adversaries are a maniacal cat, a cackling parrot, and the mysterious Margrave.
Are the characters believable?
The characters are very believable. Lin, the only human in Sylver, is a sensitive, smart, and generous girl. She has an active imagination. The talking animals are not caricatures but seemingly real, developed characters in the story.
Who would like this book?
If you like mystery, suspense, and adventure, you will definitely enjoy this book. You don't have to have a pet to relate to the characters. If you liked The Chronicles of Narnia or The Wizard of Oz, read The Twistrose Key.

Look up the Atchisson shotgun, it morphed into the current gas operated AA12 model.
Modern Firearms - Atchisson assault shotgun / AA-12
The blowback model had a 3lb+ bolt.
Wow thats neat Kernel, and a lot lighter bolt at 3bls than what I would of thought. Would a semi bolt have to be heavier since we couldn't use the open bolt with advanced ignition?
Probably. Someone with a fancy calculater would have to do the math to get it right the first time, but shotgun shells are relatively low pressure rounds compared to say a centerfire rifle. SAAMI specs most shells around 11,000 psi up to 14,000psi for a magnum. That's low. The .308 specs at 62,000 and IIRC HK says the G3 bolt would have to be around 32lbs to work properly without the roller delay mechanism. Square inches of cartridgehead pressing against the bolt would factor in as well, 11,000 psi on a one inch head would equal 14,000 lbs pressing against it, a 2 inch one would double that to 22,000 lbs. Somewhere in there is the right answer!
SAAMI pressures
Hello All,
The Atchisson blowback 12 guage bolt was about twice the mass of the usual Sten 1.4 lb 9mm smg bolt.
Recall however that the WW-II "Philipine guerilla gun" simply used a slidiing 12 guage barrel (ie pipe) inside another steel tube (ie pipe) to manually smash the chambered round against a fixed firing pin. No lock was used - breaching by "armstrong". haha.
After WW-II this simple shotgun was produced commercially by its' inventor (the original "American Guerilla in the Phillipines" not Tyrone Powers).
Also recall that the pre-WW-I von Manlicher 1894 auto pistol used a simple "blow-forward" barrel and a fixed breach to operate as did the Schwarzlose M-08 pistol. Perhaps in this ancient technology is a solution to the idiot-simple semi-auto shotgun, carbine, pistol, etc.
has anybody seen the 12 ga. machine gun? belt feed and built like a ma2.
Maybe a little bit of a curve ball, but why not design a gun that uses an existing pistol cal bolt? Why not make it use a Cobray bolt? They are a hammer struck design, so you could probably use the AR trigger group for it. It would have to be a square tube gun, but it would still be a tube gun. Then, after you have done the drafting project, you could buy some steel tubing and make the gun.

Hospitals Scrutinize ACOs
This article appears in the April 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
Accountable care organizations, heralded as the cornerstone of healthcare reform, remain something of an enigma in the healthcare industry. While ACOs hold the promise of retooling the industry into a leaner, meaner cost-cutting, care-improving machine, there's still plenty of doubt that ACOs are the way to go, according to results from the 2012 HealthLeaders Media Accountable Care Organization Survey.
While 11% of respondents say they are already part of an ACO, for the rest that are not, just 39% of healthcare leaders say their organization plans to become part of an ACO. Rob Slattery is surprised by what he considers to be a low level of interest. He suggests that for the majority that is not interested in developing an ACO the focus may still be on the more defined Medicare Shared Savings Program and not so much on developing a commercial ACO. "They may have looked at the Medicare program and decided that they don't want to assume that type of risk."
Slattery is president and CEO of Integrated Solutions Health Network, which includes 2,000 physicians, 14 community hospitals, five skilled nursing facilities, and four ambulatory surgical centers, among other healthcare business lines. ISHN is developing an ACO as part of Mountain States Health Alliance, a 13-hospital system based in Johnson City, TN.
The survey shows that the organizations interested in ACOs are setting a fast track to have them operational. Some 11% were up and running in 2011 and another 57% are expected to come on board by 2014.

Another Tarheel. There are a bunch of us on here. Welcome.
Welcome Tom, glad to have you here. Dig in and
Closing in on retirement.......
Welcome tominruffin,
I am not far away at all over here in the big town (you will miss it if you blink) of Whitsett. Do you attend the Guilford county bee meetings? We have some interesting speakers throughout the year. Iddee is also doing a trap out in Greensboro, check out the Guilford county web site. Welcome to bee Source.
Just some thoughts.
Glad to have ya...another NC newbee here, this'll be my first season, and the folks on here have been a great help with insight, advice, and answers to all my questions.
Welcome and good luck with the upcoming nectar flow...hope your new hives make some honey for you.

Not far from you at all. I live in Danville,Va. Best of luck with your bees. Jim
Ski, so far I have only attended the Rockingham county bee meetings. Our long range plans include selling hybred queens from old established feral hives.
My mistake I saw near Greensboro and thought you were in Greensboro. Your long range plans include selling hybrid queens, hey thats good to know, everybody needs a queen now and then. I will keep your name on a potential list for queens. I hope it works out well for you.
Just some thoughts.

If you are seeking a world-class educational experience within a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville is the place for you. Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
During your first two years at Cedarville, you will take Bible, general education, and introductory nursing classes. Your courses will provide you with the background necessary to participate in the health care delivery system. Generally, students most likely to excel during the first two years of nursing come from strong high school science and math backgrounds and have ACT scores in the twenties in math and natural science.
After the spring semester of your sophomore year, you may apply for admission to the school of nursing clinical courses. Students who meet the criteria as specified in the Undergraduate Academic Catalog are admitted on a competitive basis.
Cedarville's nursing major leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree. Both the National League of Nursing and the American Nurses Association endorse the B.S.N. as the minimum requirement of professional nursing practice. The B.S.N. degree provides you with the education necessary to assume leadership roles in nursing; it also facilitates career advancement and flexibility, as well as exciting opportunities throughout the United States and across the world.
Cedarville graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to be a licensed registered nurse in any state. Graduates of our program do well on their examination and are in high demand by some of the finest hospitals in the United States. Many seek further education in graduate and professional schools. Nursing graduates obtain positions in settings such as medical centers, clinics, nursing homes, schools, work sites, mental health facilities, and the mission field.
A Cedarville University B.S.N. provides an open door for cross-cultural experiences. Our cross-cultural nursing minor allows you the unique opportunity to prepare for work in a foreign culture within the health care environment. This minor includes an overseas internship and classes such as cultural anthropology, personal evangelism, and cross-cultural interactions.
As a student at Cedarville, you will quickly discover that our excellent facilities create a phenomenal learning environment.
We broke ground on our new Health Sciences Center in spring 2011. The 85,000 square foot building is now open for Fall Semester 2012. This facility provides multi-media classrooms, faculty offices, a conference room, and student lounges, and four new laboratories: a practice laboratory and two more patient simulation and skills laboratories, and a simulated clinical laboratory for FNP students to focus on primary care delivery.
It is no wonder that Cedarville has repeatedly been on U.S. News and World Report's lists of best colleges and best college buys, and that we are so highly recommended as a top college by Peterson's Guide to Competitive Colleges!
We are enjoying another year of great advancement at Cedarville. Every residence hall room on campus is equipped with a computer, which gives you 24-hour access to CedarNet, our award-winning, campus-wide computer network. You will have a competitive advantage in today's information-driven society because of the computer skills you gain using CedarNet.

Excerpt: "Randle, the second-round draft pick from a year ago, will go into training camp this summer competing for the third receiver role with veteran and newcomer Louis Murphy. While his rookie season had its ups and downs – Randle started to show flashes of being a receiving threat once the punt return duties were removed from his plate, he's looking to build on a solid finish. Recently, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride praised Randle, saying that the second-year receiver has earned the right to play more.
Q: Coach Coughlin has said that this spring has been a big opportunity for the young receivers to step up. What are your thoughts about the circumstances and how you've responded to them?
A: I feel pretty good. I just want to go out there and make plays, make an impression, let the guys know that I'm ready to step up and make more plays this year.
Q: You're going into your second year. How important is it to you to contribute on the offense this season?
A: I think it's a collective thing. We've all gotta band together and get the job done. I don't think they're really going to rely on one person. For me, they wanted me to come in and make an impact – that' why they drafted me. So I've just gotta go out there and do my job, do it to the best of my abilities.
Q: How different are you as a player from a year ago?
A: I'm a lot more confident in what I do. I see a lot of things that I did wrong. Going out there and making more plays, understanding the offense and more on the same page with Eli (Manning). I'm a more mature player than I was last year, so I'm looking forward to taking a leap this year (by) getting more trust from the coaches, and going out there and getting more reps so I can show my ability more."

I think that rihanna is like the girl off "The Roommate" she will do anything for Chris, when really she`s just a little(I mean a lot!) mental in the head. She obviously wanted the break-up to happen, because she wanted attention from Chris. I`ts pretty obvious that both Chris and Rih are idiots period.

One of the girls, if not both, will eventually become fed up and move on with their life and possibly someone else. The one who stays will be the one to accept his cheating ways and just may become so miserable that the two of them will destruct and part ways anyway. Chris Brown is not marriage material or the monogamous type of guy at this point in his life. The two girls, women whatever, should weigh the good with the bad, find some self security and worth so that they can allow thselves to move on or otherwise remain foolish to his nonsense behavior.

The only reason his relationship with rihanna will work is she realized that she should not had put her hands on him, to make him naturally react the way he did.We all r human & being on the defence is a natural action of all humans…Ladies never put ur self n a mans position and u won't get treated as such……Salaam

Chris brown should be with karrueche tran because the girl makes him happy, they loves food, the girl supports him in everything he does even symphonic love, they both have the same birthday sign, she beautiful than Rihanna, she better than Rihanna, they care about each other, she can taught him how to love, they down to earth, she can change to a new man, she can teach him from wrong to right, she will be a good wife and good mom and if Chris brown get back together karrueche tran please defends her if you really love her this time.

Chris really just needs to move on from BOTH GIRLS! They both are drama in his life and he just needs to tell both girls to move on and find love and lose his number. It's wrong how he treated Karrueche so he need to let her go. & it obvious that Rihanna just all in his face since they got back together so she needs to start fresh with someone else. No matter how much she loves Chris, starting over and opening her heart and cutting off ALL contact with Chris just might do the trick. They all need to move on leave each other alone and live their lives without being connected to any of them!

That as all changed because of the way he is handleing things with Karrueche Tran and Rihanna. Now I see is just a messed up and selfish person. I thought he was a sweet hearted person.

Detroit Free Press columnist write:
I received an e-mail from NBC the other day touting that the network's coverage of the Winter Games has been a ratings hit so far, with more than half of all Americans (152 million) watching the first seven days of the Olympics.
The average (26.6 million) was 27% higher than the viewership for the 2006 Winter Games from Torino, Italy.
But here's the biggie: NBC's coverage of the Vancouver Games beat "American Idol" on Wednesday night, ending a six-year unbeaten streak for Fox. That was the night when six Americans won medals, including Lindsey Vonn, snowboarder Shaun White and speed skater Shani Davis.

Traffic cameras catch cold hard facts
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Cameras are watching drivers at key intersections in the Tri-Cities and if you're caught breaking the law by running a red light or speeding, you'll end up paying.
But what you might not know is those cameras also provide cold, hard facts. We checked with police and learned cameras are helping in more ways than one.
You're on candid camera at 12 intersections in Kingsport -- traffic cameras keep a close eye on what you do behind the wheel when the light goes from yellow to red. "I think people running red lights, they need to get busted," said driver Richard Pike.
But those cameras catch crash video too, the kind that makes you want to cringe. Kingsport Police showed us one clip of a truck running a red light and slamming into a tractor-trailer.
What you might not know is that these cameras are an essential tool in piecing together who is at fault in an accident. "We've had several instances where the driver says, 'I really don't know what happened.' We pulled video back up, looked at it to see what happened," said Officer Dale Farmer.
Officer Farmer says those cameras hold a lot of data, things like how fast a car was going, how long the light was red, as well as the time.
But that's not all: take a hit-and-run accident for example. "By finding the tag number we can find the owner of the vehicle and then we can continue the investigation from that point forward," added Officer Farmer.
If you think the cameras in Mount Carmel just catch speeders, then you're wrong. Mount Carmel Police use their two traffic cameras as an investigative tool when it comes to burglaries. "If we have a description of a vehicle, we can go back to those cameras, check the videos, and see if that vehicle was in during that timeline that this crime was committed," said Officer Kenny Lunsford.
Back in Kingsport, officers watch live video on busy intersections. "We can pull up the feed real quick to see if cars have moved off the roadway or if we need to send additional units to help direct traffic," added Officer Farmer.
So those cameras are there to protect you in more ways than one. Kingsport Police tell us in the past, investigators have also used traffic cameras to establish a timeline in vehicle homicide cases.

UTSA, other Texas schools form security group
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Director of Public Affairs
(Nov. 10, 2006)--A memorandum of understanding signed this week by The University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas A&M Engineering, the University of Texas at El Paso and Texas A&M International University formed the Texas Homeland Security Group (THSG) and created a proactive multi-institutional team to train, educate, respond and deliver products to address important issues in homeland and border security.

At UTSA, retired Lt. Gen. Lawson Magruder, executive director of the Institute for the Protection of American Communities (IPAC), will lead the effort.
The goal of THSG is to attract and apply research funding targeting important issues in homeland and border security. As a group, the four Texas universities will provide more integrated capabilities and expertise to solve security issues than any single university.
The partnership combines expertise in science and technology, basic and applied research, and social and behavioral science that can promote, develop and disseminate scientific, educational training and policy solutions to issues affecting the public and private sectors in Texas, the United States, Mexico and other areas.

Has anyone used this tool and what are your thoughts on it? I was reading on it and watched a video using it on binding quilts and small projects.
Thank you for your input.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Has anyone used this tool and what are your thoughts on it? I was reading on it and watched a video using it on binding quilts and small projects.
Thank you for your input.
It looks like one of those tools that makes a fairly simple binding application into a HUGE job. I'll also be interested to see if anyone has actually used it.
For some reason, I couldn't get the video to play. If it's the Martelli Zip Bind system I have do it, and it does work! This is for sewing bindings on by hand and it keeps the sides the same size. I haven't used it in quite awhile because Martelli's also makes Kwik Bind, for applying binding all by machine which is suitable for many of my projects. I also like Ricky Tim's method of binding by machine with a piping added.
I also love the Martelli zip gun which came with my Zip Bind, I use it for a lot of things!
Hi Connie,
I will have to look into the Kwik Bind and Ricky Tim's method too! Thanks.
The demo is of the Martelli zip bind tool. It has gotten great reviews; found a few by Googling. I want to get it, but not until I really need it. Looks a little fiddly with the settings.
I found the video to be a bit confusing, and it ended before she could actually demonstrate how the tool worked. Is this just for hand sewing or do you sew the binding to the front and use the tool to measure out how much to sew to the back?
There are several demos of this tool on YouTube that are quite explicit. Just do a search on "zip bind tool". I think it could be used for machine binding as well as hand binding. Basically it turns the fabric perfectly so the binding stays even.
I'd never heard of this tool.
But after watching the videos (which I thought ended too soon) I just might buy one. I usually don't like things I have to fiddle with too much but this one looks like it might be worth it. I'm going to watch the videos again and google for more info before I decide.
And I hope everyone here who already have it will post. Very interesting.
I also had never heard of Ricky Tims' piping on binding. I find it annoying when he sings instead of quilts, so I don't watch his dvds or his show with Alex Anderson. But I saw a few photos online of his piping/binding technique and I think I'll buy his dvd after all. I'll just fast forward through the singing...lol.
Thanks for starting this thread. :thumbup:
SInce you have one, you are the expert! :lol: The videos didn''t actually show it being used to do the actual sewing. Do the needles fit into the tool and you pull it along as you sew?
I watched a couple of the videos on this tool and am still confused (which is not hard to do), but I don't think I'd buy anything that looks so complicated...

Since I've enjoyed cooking almost my entire life—I've been doing it since I was old enough to be able to—I should have known the way my husband and I would meet. I was working at our local county fair (when I retired 2 years ago, I was its executive director)...and Mehrle and his dad were putting up a dining room on the grounds one day! This recipe's one people always ask for. They tell me it's habit-forming! I'm the kind of cook who starts with a basic recipe, then throws in "extras" to make it my own. I'm also the type who doesn't like making the same old thing over and over. So it's good my husband's the way he is—Mehrle's happy to eat just about anything I serve.

"It's a good thing these cookies are yummy since it makes a huge batch! I should've been alerted by the large quantities for the ingredients, but I was in a hurry and not thinking. I saw the "48 servings" and thought 48 cookies, but it turns out to make nearly 100 cookies. It also took a lot more than the 1-1/2 cups of coconut listed to cover all those balls. I finished an open bag I had and started a second. It must have been 5, probably 6 cups to cover them like it shows in the picture. Will make again, but only half a batch!"

I made this 2 minutes super slow motion bee film. Please check it out and feel free to post the link anywhere you like. Thank you for watching it.
That was quite impressive
I record my bees in slo mo all the time with my iPhone 5s. Watching them slowed down you realize how clumsy they are. They are always bumping into each other. Falling on their backs. When mine come in for a landing, they almost always hit their head against the hive body before trying the landing again (bee concussions?). Fun to watch!
Dang, I've been window shopping Photron cameras. After visiting their website they kept popping up ads here on Beesource for me. But it was hopeless ... the $70k price tag makes me swoon.
I can slow down 60 Hz HD about a factor of ten using my processing software, but that's hardly the same thing. I'd love to have an intermediate speed camera (one was funded thru Kickstarter last year, but I think even that one will be over $5k). For now, if my consulting business needs high speed video, I'll have to rent. Or subcontract to you.
I don't suppose you have a thermal imaging video camera. It turns out that bees are hot.
I can view mine at 9 frames a second, but my thermal imager only records stills. Bees taking off from the landing board can make an impressive streak.
I am with Mark, leave the words up a little longer. I look at the pictures for about a second then go for the text. Maybe if the photography were a little crapier I could concentrate on the text?
Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up Alfred Pennyworth Batman Begins (2005)
The photography is great, but you jump around too much. Most beekeepers have more than a 2 second attention span.

So my hive is rather weak. It has superseded twice this year (and it was a new colony installed from package at end of May,) and is in the middle of the second supersedure. As a result, the numbers are rather low in the hive, and they are fairly weak. Today, I noticed a small patch (4 inches square, give or take) of decimated comb that had been eaten right down to the foundation, and in several of the surrounding cells were little brown worms wriggling around. I'm not 100% certain these are wax moth larvae, but I'm not sure of what else it could be. So, what I'm asking is:
1. Do these sound like wax moth larvae?
2. Should I pull this frame and freeze it? There are only 5-6 frames of drawn comb in the hive, and I'm worried about killing a bunch of bee larvae by freezing them.
3. Should I pull these frames and put them in a nuc, or will that really not help the bees much at all?

I much preferred I/K overall performance but I am not sure their skating skills are strong enough to deserve such high marks. I hope W/P can spice up their tango a little bit. They have lovely music but the choreography is a bit too tame for my taste


text: Pick #14: Fletcher Cox - DE - Mississippi State I choose to believe he'll be there. I know he just keeps creeping up in mock drafts, but to me it comes down to that fact that he doesn't have the athletic talent or production of JJ Watt, who went 11th overall last year so the idea that he's a sure-fire Top 10 selection may not necessarily be the case. I will also add that I won't be surprised at all of Poe is the pick. I think we we've been very sneaky about hiding our interest, and that sending Callahan down to look at Leary may have been a covert way to get a peek at Poe. Afterall, if you aren't going to send the D Coord or HC down, who better to send to see if a DL player has what it takes to beat NFL offensive linemen than the line coach? I'd be a little scared if we took him, but I can't lie, he intrigues me. Pick #45: Dont'a Hightower – OLB/ILB – Alabama I'm sure this one will surprise, especially since some were making the case for Hightower being the pick at 14 a few weeks back. I think it'll be tough for him to find a home. Pittsburg and Baltimore are the most likely candidates in the first, as I don't think he has a position in a 4-3 Defense. We've got a pretty decent pick in the 2nd round and if he's within sniping range, I wouldn't be surprised to see us go get him. Pick #81: Casey Hayward - CB - Vanderbilt Mike Jenkins is going to want 50.1mil at the end of this year, and I don't think we can afford to have two 10mil a year CB's, so there's a good chance he walks. We've shown interest in Hayward, and I think he's a very good possibility if he's available. Pick #113: Michael Egnew - TE - Missouri We've tipped our hand a bit on the type of TE's we prefer. Those taller, athletic guys. Make no mistake, we drafted Bennett because we thought he'd be Jimmy Graham, not because of his blocking ability. With that in mind, if we take a TE, I think it'll be this type of player. Pick #135: Philip Blake - C - Baylor We've shown interest in Blake, and he's one of those guys I have a good feeling will be wearing a star by this time next week unless someone takes him earlier. Phil Costa, with a year of NFL starting experience, will make a good backup plan. Pick #152: Hebron Fangupo - DT - BYU And now for a guy we've shown no real interest in at a position we keep saying is perfectly fine. He's got brute strength, natural leverage and seems to laugh in the face of adversity. A family man, a hard worker and a positive personality... sounds like a Garrett guy to me. I ran the numbers on the average physical numbers for starting NT's around the league last year and it average out to 6'2" 325 - Fangupo is 6'1 323, pretty much prototypical. Pick #186: Ronald Leary - OG - Memphis Okay, so maybe sending Callahan to Memphis WASN'T masterful display of trickeration. Leary seems like just the type of offensive lineman we'd take late in a draft. A guy that was projected to go late to undrafted but we've somehow got a line on and seem to like. I can't say I know much about the guy, but he had a pretty decent combine... I just hope we don't go and draft him in the 3rd or something crazy like that. Pick #222: Frank Alexander - OLB - Oklahoma I don't know that we've shown much interest in him, especially after his medical scare that is (supposedly) all cleared up now but this is a guy that would definitely be going higher if not for the potential health issue. In the 7th round? He's a steal. You can never have enough pass rushers, and he can play special teams and give us depth at OLB while he develops. ---- I think we will scoop up an experienced receiver after the draft, looking to duplicate what we did with Robinson after a team cuts a guy with some talent AND experience. We may also not draft a TE and look to do the same there, but that's a bit harder to do. Thoughts are always welcome, it's been a pleasure discussing this stuff with you guys all offseason. Looking forward to the post-draft debates.

Hi crutchfield community,
About two weeks ago i took my cavalier to a system installation place where they install 4 speakers, 2 subs, a stereo, a 4 channel amp and a mono amp. When i left there i was really happy with my system until i found out that they hadn't install the front speakers so i went back and they install them or at least that's what i think since they gave me back the factory speakers, so a few days past and i was trying to hear a song that has some instruments in the left side and others in the right side but to my surprise i only heard the right side instruments. I try to play with the stereo settings to adjust the left and right side but to my surprise the left side is actually the subs and when i tried to test the front and back speakers i found out that the the 4 speakers were the front setting and the back setting was for the subs. What can i do to fix this is it a wiring problem i can fix by myself or do i have to take it back so they can fix it?
Go back to the installation place and make them fix it correctly. If possible, take someone with you who knows more about car audio systems. Sounds like the head (stereo) they installed only has front and rear/sub selectable RCA preouts and they Y'd off the front pair to your 4 channel amp, effectively deleting your fader.
I second what GLH said. Definitely think they Y'd off from the front pair to the hook up the sub.
What are the make and model of the HU and the 4-channel amp?
With that we can give you options on how it COULD be wired up and you can take it back to them or fix it yourself, but I'm not sure I'd take much more work back to them.
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
the hu is a pioneer 50w x 4 mosfet DEH-6300UB and the 4 channel amp is a power acoustik 1600w class AB Bridgeable amp the model number is BAMF 1600/4 I hope this helps.
Head Unit
I meant to ask if the sub amplifier has a remote level control or not?
Anyway, the head unit has front and rear/subwoofer RCA's.
The 4-channel amp has RCA pass-thrus, but does NOT have speaker-level inputs (but does allow one set of RCA's to power both channels).
Questions for you:
Do you want/need to use the fader (to change the volume from front to rear)?
And - do you want to be able to change the sub level from the head unit controls?
There are basically three ways to hook up your equipment depending on what you want to do:
I threw a lot of stuff out there pretty quickly, but hopefully the shop will be able to understand this and get you sorted out.
Post back if you have more questions.
from what i understand the subs are connected to the planet audio mono amp and they install a controller underneath the steering wheel where i can control the bass and to answer you the question i don't care about the front and rear slider i just care about the left and right side of my speakers since i just can her the right side on the speakers and the left side on the subs.
Okay - The shop CLEARLY wired your speakers up incorrectly (and apparently didn't even install one set the first time).
The good news is you have pretty flexible components to work with. The main amp has RCA pre-outs and the subwoofer amp has a remote level control. You don't care about the fader, so really ANY of the solutions above would work fine for you and give you left and right balance control.
Personally, if I had a subwoofer level control, I probably wouldn't adjust the sub from the head unit, so I'd probably go with option 2, but it's really up to how you want to use the system.
The main thing you have to decide now is:
i was thinking of going with option 1 and do i really need to take the hu out because as you may know removing the stereo in a cavalier is a pain in the A** and by the way witch pictures do you need for you to help me so i can fix it myself?
Personally, I'm a little bit uncomfortable with advising you to take the stereo back to a shop the didn't install speakers initially when they were paid to do so - especially when I expect you to tell them "You connected this incorrectly and this is how I want it wired up" but ...
**** - I thought you meant Option 1 - take it back to the shop - re-read the post and I'm pretty sure you meant Option 1 - Install a LOC, which is really the proper way to have installed your stereo to begin with.
What year is the cavalier?
Removing the FACTORY stereo is a PITA. Removing the aftermarket stereo is pretty simple, assuming they left you the Pioneer removal keys. However, if you are going to wire in a LOC, you will have to run RCA's from the HU to the amp, so you would likely end up taking a lot of the dash apart to do that anyway.
Mainly, I'd be looking for pictures of the wiring - mostly to make it easier to guess which wire goes to which speaker.
Also - we'll need to know where the main and subwoofer amps are mounted (trunk or under seat or ...)
First off they guy that install the stereo didn't give me anything and the subs are mounted of the trunk and what i meant was that i want to fix it myself because the first time they didn't install the front speakers and the second time they wire every wrong what can i expect the third time and i really don't want to find out. I will be uploading the pictures Friday if that is ok with you and by the way thank you for helping me fix my system.
You said the subs are mounted off the trunk - both amps are there as well?
What's the model number of the subwoofer amp?
Gto1990First off they guy that install the stereo didn't give me anything
Lovely - you will need the stereo removal keys - they are $1.11 (each?) plus shipping from pac-parts, but ...
A decent radio repair shop should have left the keys in the glove box or similar. If you can't find them there, I would go back to the first shop and see if he still has them or will give you another set. (If he asks, tell him need to replace the heater switch or something rather than that you want to remove the radio to fix where he screwed up the install). Worst case, another shop will probably remove the radio one time for you for free, or you can do it without the keys, but it's a lot easier with them.
Understood on not wanting to go back to the first shop.
Friday's fine, but I'm usually not on the forum over the weekend. Other members can definitely help you out or I can take a look at it Monday and go from there.
I have a 2001 cavalier 4 door car by the way the amps and the subs along with the capacitor are in the trunk and my mono amp is a planet audio ac1500.1M. About the keys the guy didn't give me anything buy it would be really helpful it you can post a picture on how the keys look like to see if by any change i have them.
Who are all these messed up installers we've been hearing about from so many new posters lately ?
Lost a reply, but it might allow me to be more organized:
This violates forum policy, but I can't find a better way to show you the keys. I'll probably take the image down after you tell me you've seen it:
EDIT: Forum violating image removed.
You're looking for the metal strips at the top.
Page 15 of this document has info on removing the OEM radio - more info here:
Now - if you don't mind - let me make a suggestion before you get too deep into this:
Option 1 above installs a LOC and runs another RCA to the trunk mounted amps - This is the ideal way to run your radio as you still have fader control and you still can control the subwoofer level and LPF settings from the HU. However, it requires that you buy a LOC and another long RCA patch cable, and more importantly, it requires you to disassemble the dash, follow the existing RCA runs (which probably means removing the kick panels and rocker sill covers and running the RCA to the trunk. We can go through that, but if you are new to working on cars, you might not want something that involved right now. (You could always go back and do it later if you really wanted to.)
Option 2 is easier and you won't lose much. I would recommend this. You would be able to use the fader without affecting the sub. You might (probably) need to pick up one very short RCA cable. The only thing you lose is the ability to adjust the subwoofer level, subwoofer LPF setting, and turn the subwoofer on and off from the head unit, but you have a remote volume knob for level, and I could figure out how to wire a toggle switch for you to turn the sub on and off. You would need to pull the head unit out of the dash to figure out which RCA cable is connected to which HU RCA jack, but you can do that with the removal keys and you don't need to disassemble the dash. All the speaker wiring from the amp will be in the trunk also, so that makes any of the options easier.
Option 3 is also easy, but you lose the fader (would bug me), but you retain the ability to use the HU to adjust the subwoofer settings. You shouldn't need to buy anything for this, and as above, you need to briefly pull the radio, but not disassemble the dashboard.
At this point, I need to know if you can find the removal keys, and if you can post some pictures of the wiring for the amps in the trunk and think about and let us know which option you want to go with.
Also - before we get started, Pioneer radios are REALLY FUSSY about hot-swapping RCA connections - we'll probably be changing those, so at least make sure the radio is turned off while you are working on it.
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

Bubba Keg Review: A Manly Man's Convection Grill
Posted by Aaron on April 28, 2009
We recently had the opportunity to test out the Bubba Keg convection grill and let me tell you, it kicks some ass. Having cooked on a Big Green Egg I can honestly say it stacks up nicely. There are some pros and cons to each, which I'll get into today.
On the same camping trip where I gave you the camping style shrimp boil recipe, we tested out the Bubba Keg to the extreme. Upon arrival on Friday at our campground/gun range/smelting can area/archery golf range, airfield racing strip, fishing hole I needed to season the grill. However, first I have to point out real quick my favorite part of this thing: the trailer hitch adapter.

Cops take teens in for questioning for McKee Street Park murder
Both released after questioning Wednesday night
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Columbia police searched two homes Wednesday night, looking for evidence connected to the murder of a 17-year-old teenager at McKee Street Park nearly two weeks ago. Relatives say two people were taken in for questioning.
As of Thursday night, both of the teens have been released.
Police confirmed their SWAT team served a search warrant near Ash and Bryant streets around 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Officer Latisha Stroer declined to comment further and would only say the search warrant was "in relation to an active homicide investigation."
A man at the home near Ash and Bryant streets said his 16-year-old nephew was taken in for questioning this evening.
Only ABC 17 News was there when police served another search warrant at a second home in northeast Columbia on Boyd Lane.
Mercedes Moore told ABC 17 News exclusively that police took her 15-year-old son in for questioning in connection with the McKee Street Park incident.
Moore says her son was questioned until 1:30 a.m. and that he voluntarily took a DNA test. She said police told her the DNA test could take up to four-to-six months before results came back.
In the meantime, she said detectives may have to ask her son additional questions.
Thursday night, Marlon Jordan, the uncle of the other teen taken in for questioning, told ABC 17 News his nephew had also submitted a DNA test and was released.
Just before midnight on July 14, Tre'Veon Marshall was shot and killed in McKee Street Park. Officers never released a suspect description in that homicide.

My best find is a featherweight table I paid $9 and change for.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My best find is a featherweight table I paid $9 and change for.
Last summer was the summer of sewing machines. 2 vintage singer sewing machines, 1 phaff. 1 natiomal 2 kenmores and 1 singer touch n sew. All for $5 each. will clean up n decide what I want to keep then give the others to GW.Also a royal in a cabinet. now I need carry cases big time!
I love going to thrift stores, but have sworn off because I just have too much stuff already. I did go to look for mens shirts recently and they wanted $12.98 for the ones that looked good. That is just silly. You can buy a new shirt for less than that. I still like to look for the Ralph Lauren prints in 100% cotton. They are so pretty.
Thrift stores and yard sales---love em, love em, love em!!!! I have gotten 2 Sears Kenmore sewing machines that I cleaned and oiled and donated to the art school my grandaughter goes to. Another one I kept for myself that has the decorative cams with it. I bought all my plastic rolling carts there for $5.00 or less, as well as storage containers, various shelves, 2 wooden filing cabinetsl, 2 microwave carts that currently hold ironing board and steam press. All my wire and plastic office sorters came from there. I have gotten fabric, a army folding table--solid wood that my featherweight loves. A small 3 drawer chest of drawers, a wooden rolling card with 2 shelves that holds my books, some rulers, plastic mini drawer chests that are for screws, etc. 1 houses my jewelry findings, 3 tiny ones that hold my attachment feet for my Viking and 1 large one that houses all my buttons. I have seen many more sewing machines, but have resisted so far. I just love to repurpose items Yes, I am not only a sewing/quilting addict, I am a thrift store, yard sale junkie. Oh yeah, yard sale, this summer, that is where I finally got my 1948 featherweight for $15.00
Wow....where to start...lots and lots of stuff!!! My favorite a really nice wooden CD holder for 15.00 that holds my Fat Qtrs. other selfs, wooden thread sppols, Serger for 60.00 (never have used it...don't think the person who gave it away did either.
My best yard sale find was an auction where I got a Singer 15-91 in a cabinet for $17 and two boxes of old fabric for $22. When I got home I discovered one of the boxes of fabric contained 60 full sized, uncut, feed sacks, three unquilted quilt tops, and a baby quilt that had been loved to pieces (literally). That box was dirty and dusty and no one had dug through it (including me) so I was just shocked to find that treasure. What a gold mine!
Floor model Ott light. $25. I bought it from my church rummage sale. All proceeds go to local xpcharities...i was thrilled!
Janome 9900 / Janome 9700 / Janome Decor 3050 / Janome 1100D serger
Singer Centennial model (inherited from my late, fav aunt!)
I got all the heavy duty desk tables at second hand stores ($20 each, except for one that I paid $5 for) ... fabric out to wazoo (never more than a $1 a yard, some stores sell it by the bag for $4 on occasion) ... a floor quilting frame with two sets of rails - 5' and 10' for are you sitting down? 99 cents. I don't hand quilt. I had gotten it for someone else but she's between houses so it's in my house. I'm going to use it to baste quilts I think I think it's going to have to stay here if I can figure out how to baste with it...
We've got a slew of thrift stores here and most of them have a craft section. I feel thrifty blessed.
Lizzy in La.

News and recent developments
- April 2014: A photo is used to evaluate solar cooker output William Bradley, founder of Earthbound Technology, has been working on developing a new approach for analyzing the potential performance output for solar panel cooker and parabolic solar cookers. It involves photographing the cookpot as the light source in controlled light conditions, and measuring the reflected light. Read a summary at: Reciprocal Photo Test for Measuring Solar Cooker Performance, and more detail is linked to here: Solar Cooker Performance Evaluation by Reciprocity with Photographic Analysis
- February 2013: The Hypar Solar Cooker is currently being tested. It is our newest cooker. It is primarily a multi-sided parabolic solar cooker with the outermost section replaced with a conic section. Testing midwinter in Massachusetts shows that it can produce more than enough heat for cooking.
- July 26, 2008: We cooked a complete meal for 15 people completely in the sun and did a presentation on solar cooking after the meal. It was a complete meal including appetizers, main course and dessert. This attracted enough attention to have the local TV station send a photographer and we had our moment on fame on the local news.

"Brooms Up!" shouts the referee, and the game begins. Chasers zigzag around the pitch, trying to throw the Quaffle through a goal hoop while avoiding getting hit by a Beater's Bludger. At the same time, the Seekers try to catch the Snitch. Everybody runs with a broom.
If you're a fan of the Harry Potter series, you know that we're talking about Quidditch – a sport played by wizards and witches in the books. What you might not know is that this magical sport has been recreated for the rest of us muggles (non-magical humans). In 2005, the very first game of Muggle Quidditch was played at Middlebury College in Vermont. Two years later, Middlebury played New York's Vassar College in the first intercollegiate match. Today, there are hundreds of teams that are members of the International Quidditch Association (IQA). Alex Benepe is the IQA Commissioner. He works on growing the sport. "My main role is to make sure that the league is carrying out its long-term goals and upholding the values of the [IQA]," Benepe told TFK. (Scroll down to watch a video interview with Benepe.)
A Sport on Brooms
During his freshman year at Middlebury, Benepe and his friend Xander Manshel came up with the idea of Muggle Quidditch. They introduced their version of the sport to others. Soon, players everywhere were getting swept up in the excitement of the sport.
In November, 24 teams came to historic Fort Adams State Park, in Newport, Rhode Island, for the IQA's Northeast Regional Championships. They competed for a chance to advance to the Quidditch World Cup VI, which will be held in Kissimmee, Florida, in April 2013. The park's stone fortress and ocean-side setting gave the players and spectators the feeling that they were at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Game play is also similar to the style Harry Potter and his classmates enjoy. Each team has seven players: three Chasers who wear white headbands; two Beaters who wear black headbands; one Keeper who wears a green headband; and one Seeker who wears a yellow headband. The game also features the Snitch. Instead of a small golden ball with wings, the Snitch is a single player dressed entirely in gold clothing, and a tennis ball stuffed in a sock hangs from his or her shorts. All players, except for the Snitch, must run around the field with a broom between their legs.
Muggle Quidditch is a fast and physical co-ed sport. Each team is required to have at least two players of each gender. It combines parts of dodge ball, rugby, lacrosse and tag–and even a bit of wrestling. During the game, the Chasers try to get the Quaffle (a volleyball) through one of three hoops guarded by the Keeper. The Beaters are defenders trying to knock out other players by hitting them with the Bludgers (three red dodge balls). While all of that is going on, the Seekers are trying to catch the Snitch by removing the sock from the Snitch's waistband–sort of like flag football. Once the Snitch has been snatched, the game is over.
Most players were drawn to the game because of their love for J.K. Rowling's fantasy novels. Once they play, however, they're hooked on its fun and athleticism. "I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. It's what drew me toward it," said Marianne Anderson, a Beater for Middlebury. "But once you start playing, you realize it's really, really fun."
Most players were already athletes. "A lot of us came from playing other sports in high school," says Tom Ford, a Seeker for Boston University—the team that took home the Northeast Regional Championship. "I ran track and cross-country." Harvard's Keeper, Ernest Afflu, was also a two-sport high school athlete. "We're here because we think playing Quidditch is fun," Afflu told TFK. "I think that's definitely the best part about being part of a community like this."

Dove Management, Hunting and Agricultural Practices in Georgia
Legal Practices
Fields Planted in Early Spring or Early Summer
Hunting doves over manipulated fields that were planted in the early spring or in the early summer is a legal activity and by far the most common situation in Georgia.
Manipulation means the alteration of natural vegetation or agricultural crops by activities that include, but are not limited to, mowing, shredding, discing, rolling, chopping, trampling, flattening, burning, "hogging" or herbiciding. This method of dove field management and hunting requires advanced planting of crops two to four months prior to dove season.
Fallow Fields
Hunting doves over manipulated fallow fields (native vegetation) is legal.
Fields Planted in Late Summer or Fall
Hunting doves over fields planted in late summer or fall is legal provided that the field has been planted as part of a normal agricultural operation. Normal agricultural operation implies a planting that is conducted in accordance with the official recommendations of the university of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service. Aerial or top sowing of small grains without covering the seed is not a recommended practice by the UGA Cooperative Extension Service. Dove hunting over a field planted by top sowing is illegal. Normal plantings do not involve placement of grains in piles or other concentrations. The application rate guideline recommended for all small grains (wheat, rye, barley, oats) planted for crop or forage production is 1.5 to 2.5 bushels per acre.
The UGA Extension Service has stated that specific conditions exist whereby top sowing without covering of small grains is recommended and would allow the grower to achieve acceptable stands of cover crop. These circumstances are rare. Examples are: 1) wheat or rye aerially sown over cotton or soybeans prior to leaf drop; and 2) top sowing for soil stabilization for post-mining land reclamation on areas with steep slopes. Hunters should check with WRD or the US Fish and Wildlife Service before hunting in either of these situations.
Small grains and canola planted within the range of dates listed below are official recommended practices of the UGA Cooperative Extension Service. Hunters may not hunt doves over or around late summer/fall planted fields if the plantings are outside of the following dates:
* Small grains include wheat, rye, oats, and barley.

Movie Review: Medora

This documentary about a high school basketball team paints a sobering portrait of small-town life in Middle America.

Director: Andrew Cohn & Davy Rothbart
Rating: NR
Studio: Beachside Films
In their grim 82-minute documentary Medora, directors Andrew Cohn and Davy Rothbart lament the slow and excruciating death of some economically strangled American communities like Medora, Indiana. A somber, beautifully shot but rarely wholly gripping film which numbers Stanley Tucci and Steve Buscemi among its producers, it focuses on the town's can't-win-for-losing public high school basketball team, many of whose families have been beaten down by decades of unemployment, grinding poverty, drugs and alcohol, and splintered families. How does one storeowner describe Medora? "Closed." With so little hope in sight, with defeat burned into their beings, these kids and their elders stoically struggle to find purpose and some sort of future. With rows of stores closed down, with the factories gone, their resilience and refusal to go under count as beautiful acts of defiance. There's no denying how well Medora paints a bleak, sobering portrait of small-town life in Middle America, and it's a story that can't be told often enough, whether it's the subject of a documentary or a setting and mindset of a feature film like Nebraska or Out of the Furnace. Unfortunately, the filmmakers aren't able to probe deeply enough into the lives of the team members, their families and the Medora locals. Some may leave Medora bummed but deeply grateful that it isn't their everyday reality. Everyone ought to leave Medora outraged.

Pet Insurance - Top Tips
1. The starting point for comparing any pet insurance policy is to look at what the monthly or annual premium is. You should start by deciding how much you want to spend each month on a policy. Then look for policies that have premiums in this price range.
2. Get quotes from reputable companies. This will provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. With a number of quotes, you are able to compare the plans side by side and determine which plans fit your budget, as well as your pet's needs.
3. Look deeper than the agency you are purchasing the pet insurance from. Look at the underwriter who underwrites the policies and see what their "Best Rating" is as this will give you an idea of their financial stability. Choose a stable company. The business of pet insurance has been around for over 25 years. The strength of the company will depend on how long they have been providing pet care insurance.
4. Every pet insurer is obviously going to tell you its products are the best. What you really want to know is what their current customers say. Search the web for reviews and find out things like how fast they pay out on claims, their high denial rate, and a host of other information. Also, focus on the negative reviews as every pet insurer will have at least some. What are the broad themes of the complaints? How were customers treated? Is the complaint about something very specific to that person or common among other complaints? The answers to those questions will help you get a feel for what you can expect as a policyholder of that company.
5. Have a chat with your vet to ask what pet insurance they would recommend specifically for your pet. Your veterinarian will have had some experience dealing with insurance companies and what will best fit the needs of your pet.
6. Plans that pay a percentage of the actual veterinary bill are easier for you to understand because the calculation method is nice and clear. It is a simple process to easily calculate your repayment before you send the claim in.
7. Are there limits per condition? Often pet insurance companies set maximum amounts that may be reimbursed per condition or medical event. It is important to know what those limits are and also, if there are annual limits for total care or you could find yourself with inadequate coverage when you need it most.
8. Find out how they pay out claims. Do you pay first and then submit to the insurance company for reimbursement, or do the insurance company pay directly?
9. Some policy providers do not offer coverage for routine care. A plan with this coverage will cater for everyday vet expenses like vaccinations and teeth cleanings.
10. Some pet insurance providers offer larger discounts but as a condition require you to use vets from a particular network. This could prove problematic of you later move, or if you don't currently live close to one of the networked vets. A further issue can arise if your dog has an our of hours emergency.
11. Is your pet microchipped? Are they spayed or neutered? Do you belong to an organisation that has a discount with a pet insurance company? Are you in the military? Always ask because you never know what discounts you can get. Some companies give you a discount for paying your year's premium upfront. If you have more than one pet, inquire your insurer if they offer a multiple-pet discount.
12. Some companies have per-incident limit that are also lifetime limits. Once they are reached, you will receive no more repayment for that condition at all for the rest of your pet's life.
13. Consider your pet's age and breed. These are important factors that will have a big impact on your insurance plan. Some pet insurance plans exclude medical treatments on specific illnesses for specific breeds. In addition, an older pet will also mean higher insurance premiums as well as some difficulty in obtaining coverage.
14. Review any age boundary for coverage. Some insurers begin coverage straight away while others require that the pet be eight weeks old. Some do not cover pets over 8 years old, while others have no age limit.
15. Find out whether your breed is predisposed to certain conditions. Then find out if the pet insurance covers those conditions and what amount of coverage they provide. The surgery and treatment options for certain genetic conditions can be very expensive and only a few pet insurance plans cover them. Make sure the plan you choose covers your particular dog.
16. Many pet insurance policies have pre-existing conditions clauses. If your pet is currently sick or has been sick in the last six months this may prevent you from getting a policy or increase the amount of money you have to pay. Look for a policy that is the least restrictive on pre-existing conditions.
17. Are certain conditions excluded permanently or temporarily? Some plans exclude all pre-existing conditions while others differentiate between pre-existing conditions that are "curable" and "incurable" so that you may get coverage in the future for curable conditions.
18. You must be sure that the pet care insurance will be ready for use upon the effective date from its approval and issue. Try to avoid plans that will make you wait a certain time before you can start using the policy that you have already paid for.
19. Exclusions are a list of the conditions not covered under your pet insurance policy. You must read this list very carefully because once you have accepted the policy and if your pet has a condition that comes within the list of exclusions, then there's no chance that you can ever recover a claim from your pet insurance company for that condition.
20. You want the most amount of coverage for the lowest premium. Obviously the more coverage you have the better but it will be more expensive. It is good to have basic accident coverage, but buying a comprehensive pet policy that also includes vaccinations might not be worth the money.

Medenwaldt's life was saved by a second opinion, unwillingness to give up
Sandy Medenwaldt of Backus says she is lucky to have survived three bouts of cancer in her lifetime, but luck might not be the right word.
Medenwaldt has been a resident of the Backus area since about 1978, when she left her home in Crystal and her 15-year job as a waitress at the Ambassador Motel for a quieter life.
She continued working as a server at one local restaurant or bar, then another, and another. Among others, she served food at the Backus Cafe when it was still downtown, the pizza place in Pine River before it burned down, the Cottage Cafe in Pine River and the Backus Foothills when it was still known by that name.
Medenwaldt's first experience with cancer was no doubt frightening, but the problem was quickly solved with a hysterectomy. Neither cancer nor surgery are ever pleasant, but in this case Medenwaldt shrugs off both almost as a minor inconvenience.
"Of course, I had enough kids anyway. You get to a certain age and you say, 'Forget it'," Medenwaldt said.
Medenwaldt's second battle with cancer was a little more serious. In 2003, when she began to feel intense pain in the right side of her chest, she immediately went to the hospital where she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She was lucky. It was operable.
The top lobe of Medenwaldt's right lung was removed and she was treated with both chemotherapy and radiation. She was pronounced cancer free for a second time. Medenwalt lived cancer free for another 10 years before the next big scare of her life, though this time was far more serious.
Medenwaldt initially sought help from a local hospital when she felt a tender spot on the left side of her chest in April of this year. She was diagnosed with cancer yet again, and this time surgery was not an option. Medenwaldt's tumor was pressing against her aorta. Because of its proximity to her heart, her first doctors didn't want to treat it in any way.
"She showed me the scans and she said, 'This is it. There's nothing we can do for you. You don't have to come back,'" Medenwaldt said.
She was shocked and more than a little upset.
"The hardest part was hearing I even had it again. That was hard. I thought, 'God, I'm going to die.' That's why I asked for prayers. It sounds silly, but I really thought I was going to die. First one lung, then another, and when they told me it was against my aorta I thought, 'What's going to happen now?' It worked out. Somebody up there's watching," she said.
Though her situation seemed bleak, Medenwaldt's attitude won through yet again. She did not give up. In spite of what her doctors told her, she drove to Fairview Hospital in Minneapolis. Doctors scanned her, took a biopsy and gave her hope of winning a fight with cancer again.
"I didn't give up. I went right for that second opinion," Medenwaldt said. "They took me in that day and they told me what they were going to do and they thought they could handle it after they took the biopsy."
She underwent 15 days of radiation and stayed at the House of Hope with help from Backus resident Linda Wyatt, her personal care provider.
"She's with me every single day, taking care of me and doing stuff I need done," Medenwaldt said.
She finished radiation therapy May 23 and was sent home. As of her Oct. 8 appointment, Medenwaldt's tumor is still breaking apart from her radiation treatment and her doctors are so hopeful they don't want to see her for four months.
"It's coming along. Everything looks great," she said. "He (her doctor) said it's breaking up. It's doing what it's supposed to do. He said radiation does take a while so they want to keep checking."
When Medenwaldt's first tumor cost her her reproductive organs she found pride in the two sons she already had. When she was first diagnosed with lung cancer she immediately quit smoking. And when she was given a hopeless prognosis by her first doctor, she sought a second opinion.
Not a quitter, attitude appears partly to thank for Medenwaldt's survival today. Though, of course, a little luck and prayers from friends never hurt anyone.
"I have to say my prayers every night and thank God for my friends. There's so many sometimes I think I must have forgot somebody," Medenwaldt said.
Medenwaldt is a homebody. During warmer months she feeds birds and watches them from the windows of her home. She also enjoys the various flowerbeds around her home when they are in bloom. Now, she is settling in for winter with a pile of books, but surely that won't get her too down because she knows her birds will be back in the spring and her flowers will bloom again.

A line in the 1969 caper film The Italian Job is widely regarded as among the best ever written. Michael Caine plays a gangster masterminding a gold robbery. When one of his co-conspirators does a trial run of an explosive device designed to detach the doors of a security van so the villains can get at the loot, the van erupts in a fireball the size of a small office block and emerges as a smouldering, tyre-less chassis. Caine turns to the explosives whizz and says: "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off".
I tell this story to use up 100 words or so which I would otherwise have to devote to making rude comments about the restaurant that is named after the film. There is a limit to how much disobliging stuff you say before it starts to corrode your soul.
Our new rating system means I can't assign it one-and-a-half-stars, and it doesn't really deserve the one-star rating of the truly dire, but it is fair to say that a rating of two rather overstates its charms.
The Italian Job has been near the end of the Herne Bay shops for a long time. If I Google the address the only other hit I get is a Telecom list of payphones, one of which is there. (Quite why someone who has the technology to access an online list of payphone locations would need a payphone I don't know, but there is much I don't know).
The interior of the restaurant is enough to drive you into a deep depression before you even sit down. It's not just that it's dark - though it is; the deep-red textured plaster on the walls seems to inhale the light. It's not just the careless use of artwork (posters of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Steve McQueen in The Great Escape face some naive still-lifes in a Mexican style, none of which sings of Tuscany or the Veneto). It's not just the dusty plastic grapevines hanging sadly from the ceiling in what was presumably set up as a private dining room at the back. But all these things together lend the place a drab and careworn feel.
The staff, going through the motions, might have just returned from a funeral. One, who I think was the owner, actually managed to deliver a dish to the table without uttering a word. And the food, alas, does nothing to redeem matters.
I decided to overrule the chef and ask him to hold the lettuce promised with the carpaccio of beef. The paper-thin slices of raw meat were satisfactory but the accompanying capers and olive oil were of indifferent quality.
The Professor's pate was served hot - not something I have ever encountered, though later research tells me it is not unknown. It is, however, unlikeable, in my view at least. The delicate flavours of the chicken livers were lost after what I took to be an excessive blast of microwave power, though the Professor seemed happy enough with them. The greens on the side foreshadowed a later horror.
Mains were worse: the bland filling of pumpkin and spinach in the pre-prepared cannelloni was overpowered by a large dollop of sour tomato sauce from some jar or other. My veal with mushrooms answered to that description only in a literal sense: the mushrooms were odious, without any evidence of an attempt at flavouring and the veal thin and grey. It was as close to the classic vitello ai funghi as my tennis game is to Marina Erakovic's. The accompaniments included a spiral ribbon of thickly shaved carrot. I felt like I was in Te Awamutu in 1963.
A side salad seemed like a practical joke, but was seriously intended. It was a small pile of iceberg lettuce, topped with two slices each of cucumber and tomato and some tinder-dry mesclun that was several days old. It was undressed. We didn't eat it, deliberately; they forgot to charge for it, accidentally. So we paid what it was worth. We lacked the nerve for dessert.
This is not the worst meal I've ever eaten, but it is a contender. If you find yourself in Herne Bay and in need of a payphone, head for this address. Then hire the movie (not the 2003 remake), pick up some takeaway lasagne and a nice bottle of chianti and have a good night in.
Verdict: No, grazie.
