What happens when three veteran restaurant workers grow weary of working for other people and bored with the menu mainstays of so many local eateries?
Off the Hook happens.
The little restaurant at the corner of Simonton and Petronia streets is admittedly small in size, but is big on taste and ingenuity.
"The three of us all sort of mixed our own styles, personalities and preferences to create something that's unlike anywhere else in town," said Sophia Kloeber, whose Greek heritage provided the homegrown recipes for Off the Hook's spanakopita, hummus, gyros and baklava.
Kloeber, Chef Patti Cassavell and Deuce Jones had worked together at another place in town, and happy hour talk about opening their own place became a reality for the trio on Nov. 18, when Off the Hook Grill opened -- and ended the revolving door of restaurants that had occupied the small space at 728 Simonton St. since Dorothy's Deli closed nearly 15 years ago.
"Pasta in Paradise was the last thing here," said Jones. "It wasn't even open a year, and the place has been empty since then."
The Off the Hook trio gutted the place, eliminated the cramped drop ceiling, replaced the display cases with an eight-seat bar and lined one wall with bench seating, procured from a church in Miami.
"On the back of this bench, are still the slots for the hymnals," Jones said. "But this arrangement was really the best way to maximize our space, and it gives us the flexibility to push tables together for various groups. People have repeatedly said they feel like they're in a little pub in Greenwich Village."
And that works for the owners of Off the Hook, who hail from the Philadelphia area (Kloeber), North Jersey (Cassavell) and Tennessee (Jones).
And the eclectic menu is as diverse as the owners' backgrounds. In addition to the Greek specialties, the menu also features appetizers of fried green tomatoes, ahi tuna, smoked fish dip, mussels, a beet salad and chicken wings with a choice of eight sauces.
And nothing is as you'll find it in other restaurants.
The fried green tomatoes, for example, are perfectly crisped, and then topped with a lump of crab meat and a mango mint dressing.
And don't forget the duck bacon appetizer.
That's right -- thick-cut and applewood smoked duck bacon. You can get it with pancakes at breakfast, on a burger or pizza at lunchtime, or as an all-day appetizer served with a spicy ginger dipping sauce.
Lunch and dinner options include hand-tossed, thin crust pizzas, fish sandwiches, a seared ahi tuna BLT wrap, an open-faced lobster pot pie sandwich and the ever-popular Gobbler.
"We take sage stuffing and put it into a waffle iron, so you have a waffle made from stuffing, and we top that with an entire Thanksgiving dinner -- roasted turkey, bacon smashed potatoes and rosemary gravy," Jones said.
"We wanted to do things you wouldn't find anywhere else in town," Kloeber said.
And they've succeeded.
Take the fish sandwich. It's perhaps Key West's most ubiquitous menu item -- it's on every menu in every restaurant.
But at Off the Hook it's not just grilled, blackened or fried. It's coconut-crusted and topped with a mango jalapeno salsa.
"My whole family has always been cooks," Cassavell said. "I'm self-taught, and I love making things with a little twist, like baked clams topped with duck bacon. Or a peach cobbler topped with duck bacon whipped cream. None of us wanted to open a restaurant that had the same menu as a hundred other places."
Macaroni and cheese on the dinner menu is actually gnocchi lobster mac and cheese with lobster meat and gnocchi smothered in cheese and baked with a garlic Parmesan crust.
The fresh grouper dinner entree is served in a French bouillabaisse broth, and the side orders include sweet potato tots.
Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available.
"We really try to have something for everyone," Kloeber said.
Lunches cost about $13, while dinner entrees range from $14 for the dinner-sized Gobbler to $28 for a 12-ounce New York strip steak.
Oh, and the meal isn't complete without homemade desserts of Greek baklava, mango Key lime pie or dark chocolate-covered banana bread. Cassavell also creates a daily dessert to accompany the day's lunch and dinner specials.
"People are also loving our huevos rancheros at breakfast," Jones said, adding that the bulk of their clientele has been locals thusfar. "Which is fantastic, and is what a local place needs to survive. We each had our own group of friends and a local following, so they came in and told their friends, who told their friends until we had a great local clientele without doing any advertising. We really didn't start getting many tourists until people started posting great reviews on Trip Advisor. Then the tourists found us."
At just six months old, Off the Hook is already packed most days for lunch and dinner reservations are highly recommended.
They're closed Tuesdays, but open for breakfast, lunch and dinner the other six days.
"At lunchtime, we have sports or news on the televisions over the bar," Jones said. "But at dinner time we've been showing old movies."
And the service is impeccable, Kloeber added.
"Not only do we provide great food in a fun atmosphere, but our servers are amazing," she said. "They really care about everyone's experience. They know what they're doing. They're pros."
And finally, the key to success, in addition to great food, is consistency.
"Hey, we know that," Jones said. "And if Chef Patti's not feeling well, we'll close. We won't open the doors that day if we can't be the best we can be."

The Reserve Bank of Australia has signalled it won't shy away from raising interest rates further, having been "surprised" by how quickly inflation has crept up during the first phase of the mining boom.
RBA assistant governor
The strong warning from Dr Lowe came only days after the RBA released the minutes of its last board meeting, at which policymakers decided to keep rates steady while cautioning that "further tightening in monetary policy would be necessary at some point".
The RBA has left its key rate unchanged at 4.75 per cent at its past six meetings, amid concerns about the strength of the world economy, having raised it seven times in the previous year as Australia's resource-driven economy powered out of the worst global downturn since the 1930s.
Economists think the bank may hold fire for a little longer as recent figures have shown that many non-resource sectors of the economy remain weak.
"The current environment is a particularly challenging one," Dr Lowe said. "We are looking at a significant boom in investment in the resources sector at a time when the overall economy has relatively little spare capacity. While conditions are very strong in parts of the economy, other parts are finding things very difficult because of either the high exchange rate or the ongoing restraint in household spending and borrowing."
But Dr Lowe said maintaining the relatively low inflation Australia had achieved over the past 20 years would remain the RBA's top priority. "The task for the RBA is to keep inflation low and stable," he said.
The RBA should be able to judge whether inflation pressures are starting to build up when the consumer price index for the June quarter is released in late July, about a week before its August 2 board meeting. "There is little support for a near-term RBA interest rate rise without a pick-up in the pace of underlying inflation," said Citigroup senior economist Josh Williamson.
Underlying inflation quickened to 0.85 per cent in quarterly terms in the three months through March from 0.4 per cent in the previous quarter.
Dr Lowe said the "workhorse" models the RBA used to help forecast inflation had difficulties explaining what happened to prices during the first stage of the resources boom.
"The fact that underlying inflation picked up between 2005 and 2008, and then subsequently declined, is hardly surprising. What did, however, surprise us somewhat was the amplitude and the timing of this cycle in inflation."
Underlying inflation in mid-2008 was about three-quarters of a percentage point higher than could be explained by this modelling, which also couldn't explain why underlying inflation topped 4.5 per cent, Dr Lowe said.
"The general picture that one gets from this analysis is that underlying inflation in Australia was slower to pick up than suggested by the historical relationships, but when it did eventually pick up, it did so more quickly, and by a larger amount, than suggested by these relationships," he said.

I plan on being very hands on this car from the start: all maintenance and etc.
After Christmas, I should have a Cobb transmission mount, 2 pc. short throw shifter and hard shifter bushings installed. I also want the windows tinted as dark as can be in the back and a little lighter in the front.

Trailing by 15 points at halftime, the St. Bernard girls basketball players took a hard look in the mirror and snarled at the reflection. | PHOTOS
The Vikings were not about to go down like this, particularly in a battle of the South Bay's premier girls programs.
So St. Bernard came charging back and pulled out an exhilarating 78-76 Del Rey League victory over Serra on Tuesday in an electric atmosphere at St. Bernard.
"At halftime, our coach told us we had to get it together ourselves," St. Bernard guard Chyanne Butler said. "We knew we wanted to win. They are our biggest rival.
"We also had done a lot of talking, so we had to prove ourselves right."
However there is an asterisk.
St. Bernard (17-5, 4-0) was given an extra two points during its third-quarter run. The referee changed the score from 55-45 to 55-47 without an explanation. Serra coach McKinsey Hadley questioned this decision during and after the game.
It turned out to be crucial. But Hadley said the loss fell squarely on Serra (17-4, 3-1).
"That third quarter was detrimental," Hadley said. "They came out with great energy and we couldn't match it. Too many offensive rebounds. Too many leakouts. It cost us dearly."
Phantom two points or not, St. Bernard played with a fire in the second half that gave a glimpse of its vast potential.
Demoria White recorded 22 points and six assists. She was a force from the perimeter and with drives to the basket.
Chenelle Pelle dominated the lane for St. Bernard for 16 points and 21 rebounds, including 14 offensive. She also blocked Nautica Morrow's shot with 41 seconds left to preserve the precarious lead.
"Like my coaches told me, they couldn't hold me," Pelle said. "We had to get this win. I was not about to lose to them."
Butler posted 17 points, four assists and five steals. Michelle Curry had 13 points, 13 rebounds and four assists.
Serra held a 76-74 lead with 2:01 left, but Pelle scored on a nice turn in the post and Butler scored on a breakaway.
"We love playing in big situations like this," White said. "We really came together as a team."
St. Bernard went just 4 of 19 from the free-throw line, a dismal 21.1 percent. But they made enough big plays when it counted.
"When we went into halftime, I said there was no need for me to tell them anything," St. Bernard coach Bo Corona said. "If they are the players they say they are, I told them they had to start showing it.
"It was a testament to them. They battled and they battled."
Serra closed the first half with a 15-2 run, capped by Siera Thompson's halfcourt shot at the buzzer for a 43-28 lead.
"I just looked at the clock and saw time was winding down," said Thompson, who also hit a halfcourt shot in the Oaks Christian Tournament. "I was definitely behind the circle.
"But they came out with more energy than we did in the second half."
Thompson finished with 23 points, including four three-pointers. Deandrea Toler had 21 points, six rebounds, five steals and five assists. Caila Hailey had 18 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

Four concerts at NEC included 16 works (many earlier pieces, to counterbalance the Tanglewood emphasis on later works), a master class, and a panel discussion with Carter. (I was sorry to miss Stephen Drury, Yukiko Takagi, and the Callithumpian Consort in Carter's Double Concerto; several trusted informants were bowled over.) In a staggering performance of Carter's overwhelming First Quartet (1951), the greatest 20th-century American work in that genre (and maybe not just American), the Borromeo String Quartet captured (and liberated) not only the marvelous sounds inspired by the Arizona desert near where Carter was then living — the whirring, scurrying Allegro scorrevole and the mysterious, heart-stopping/time-stopping night world of the Adagio — but also the questions of existence and perception (and self-perception) they pictorialize. Instead of paper scores, the Borromeos now use laptops, which allow them to see not just their individual parts but the full interplay of a complete score.
Next night, cellist and former NEC president Lawrence Lesser and pianist Christopher Taylor gave a profound and masterful reading of the Cello Sonata, with all its soaring tunefulness and intricate cross-rhythms, Carter's first unquestioned masterpiece in his exploration of the technique of "metrical modulation," in which contrary sound worlds — metronomic piano and rhapsodic, almost Brahmsian cello — go continually in and out of synch.
NEC's coup was to get a Carter commission for BSO percussionist Frank Epstein and the NEC Percussion Ensemble he directs, the dazzling Tintinnabulation, with six percussionists, each playing his or her own battery of unpitched instruments — drums (no timpani), wood blocks, maracas, tam-tams, cymbals, ratchet, a cow bell, a huge Mahler Sixth hammer (no xylophones, no vibes, no marimbas). On a pre-concert panel, Carter talked about how much work he'd put into annotating the size and type of sticks and explaining exactly which part of the instrument should be struck for each note. These titillating tintinnabulations were like listening to an animated conversation in three languages (wood, metal, skin). It's a knockout. And a double pleasure to hear twice.
These concerts dovetailed with the BSO world premiere of Interventions, Carter's big new 18-minute-plus piece for pianist Daniel Barenboim and orchestra. The program began intimately with Barenboim and Levine playing Schubert's exquisite four-hand F-minor Fantasy (which they played here in 2006, as an encore to a BSO Beethoven/Schoenberg concert). After the Carter, the piano expanded its relationship with the orchestra in Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto; I have never heard Barenboim play with more warmth or sparkle. The evening ended (at 10:45 pm!) with a powerful and sexy Sacre du printemps, the 1913 Stravinsky landmark that Carter first heard at its New York premiere in 1924 (with Pierre Monteux — Sacre's very first conductor — leading the BSO), the piece that made him want to be a composer.

Dewalt 18V Jigsaw
I'm looking for a jigsaw. I don't do too much wood work but I sometimes find myself with a task that a jigsaw might help with. I have all Dewalt 18V tools and many batteries, so I was wondering if the Dewalt 18V Jigsaw is a good tool or if I should just go with a 120V model?
Does anyone own the Dewalt 18V Jigsaw? If so, how do you like it?
1 Attachment(s)
I don't have the 18V Jigsaw,but I do have other DeWalt 18V tools.
I have Bosh & Festool corded barrel grip jigsaws but if I needed a cordless model I would most likely get the DeWalt DC330K.
For me the main advantage would be 18V battery compatibility and keyless blade change. Another advantage is that the DeWalt has variable blade speed, 0-3,000spm.
Note: This Jigsaw can also be bought as a Bare DEWALT DC330B
with no battery, charger, or case, but while it is cheaper than the normal price of ~ $240 the case is really handy to keep track of a collection of blades and mainly because the DC330K can be had with battery, charger, and case on ebay for $145
DEWALT DC330k 18V Cordless XRP Jig Saw Kit - NEW! - eBay (item 310237213991 end time Jul-31-10 09:37:06 PDT)
i have that jigsaw probably one of their best cordless tools
Really, that's good to hear? A couple customer reviews said that the blade didn't stay in, but those might have been homeowners who weren't using it properly.
I can't speak for the 18v version. But I just picked up a brand new 120v model off Craigslist for $50. Great saw. I also have the 18v system...but I don't do much woodworking plus I couldn't pass up the $50 price tag.

Hearing Aids
At Audiology Associates we pride ourselves on fitting the highest-quality hearing aids available on the market today, expertly programmed to meet the demands of your lifestyle.
Hearing aids come in a variety of designs and with a wide range of functions and features to address an individual's specific needs. The most basic components include a microphone, an amplifier, a receiver, and (in the case of digital hearing technology) a small computer. The unprecedented effectiveness of modern digital hearing devices comes from a powerful combination of professional expertise, software, and hardware. We provide hearing testing at our locations in Santa Rosa, CA to better diagnose which hearing aids fit your hearing care needs.

Don't recognize these hearing aid brands, or have a hearing aid that isn't one of the six? Chances are it was made by one of these companies, and distributed across the country under a pseudonym or proprietary name.
Nowadays, hearing aids are much like prescriptive glasses in that they have to be precisely measure and fit to the individual. There are all different levels of sophistication, again much like in vision, where there is a magnifying glass versus bi-focal prescription glasses with transition lenses to truly meet one's every need. It is the same for hearing aids, after a thorough Audiological evaluation and a complete history were we learn your needs and emotions we will then make a recommendation for better hearing through technology.
Hearing Aid Comparison
We believe in providing the right hearing solution for you. Whether you are someone who is very active in a lot of group settings or someone who leads a more quiet lifestyle, there is a hearing aid to meet your needs.
Hearing Aid Styles
Hearing aids come in a variety of styles. Sizes range from Behind-the-Ear (BTE) to Completely Invisible. Based on the results of your hearing test and your personal hearing needs, your audiologist will make a recommendation on which hearing aid style will work best.

An Unfinished Christmas Story
[Probably begun several years before his death. Published, as it here appears, in Short
Stories, January, 1911.]
Now, a Christmas story should be one. For a good many years the ingenious writers have
been putting forth tales for the holiday numbers that employed every subtle, evasive,
indirect and strategic scheme they could invent to disguise the Christmas flavor. So far
has this new practice been carried that nowadays when you read a story in a holiday
magazine the only way you can tell it is a Christmas story is to look at the footnote which
reads: ["The incidents in the above story happened on December 25th.—ED."]
There is progress in this; but it is all very sad. There are just as many real Christmas
stories as ever, if we would only dig 'em up. Me, I am for the Scrooge and Marley
Christmas story, and the Annie and Willie's prayer poem, and the long lost son coming
home on the stroke of twelve to the poorly thatched cottage with his arms full of talking
dolls and popcorn balls and—Zip! you hear the second mortgage on the cottage go flying
off it into the deep snow.
So, this is to warn you that there is no subterfuge about this story—and you might come
upon stockings hung to the mantel and plum puddings and hark! the chimes! and wealthy
misers loosening up and handing over penny whistles to lame newsboys if you read
Once I knocked at a door (I have so many things to tell you I keep on losing sight of the
story). It was the front door of a furnished room house in West 'Teenth Street. I was
looking for a young illustrator named Paley originally and irrevocably from Terre Haute.
Paley doesn't enter even into the first serial rights of this Christmas story; I mention him
simply in explaining why I came to knock at the door—some people have so much
The door was opened by the landlady. I had seen hundreds like her. And I had smelled
before that cold, dank, furnished draught of air that hurried by her to escape immurement
in the furnished house.
She was stout, and her face and lands were as white as though she had been drowned in a
barrel of vinegar. One hand held together at her throat a buttonless flannel dressing
sacque whose lines had been cut by no tape or butterick known to mortal woman.
Beneath this a too-long, flowered, black sateen skirt was draped about her, reaching the
floor in stiff wrinkles and folds.
The rest of her was yellow. Her hair, in some bygone age, had been dipped in the
fountain of folly presided over by the merry nymph Hydrogen; but now, except at the
roots, it had returned to its natural grim and grizzled white.

This is a quick version of a soup that tastes like you spent all day making it! It's also a great way to use a variety of veggies from your fridge and freezer.
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1-2 carrots, peeled and diced/shredded
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1-32oz carton beef broth (may also use chicken broth, tomato juice or a combination to achieve your ideal flavor)
- 1 can rotel tomatoes (substitute regular can tomatoes for less spice)
- 1 large can pinto beans
- 1 bag of frozen soup veggies (any variety)
- 1 bag frozen Steamfresh Roasted Red Potatoes
- Leftover meat from Italian Meatloaf (see recipe), cut into bite sized pieces
- freshly grated parmesan cheese, opional
Heat oil in skillet until hot, but not smoking. Add onion and carrots. Saute for 2-3 minutes, adding garlic for the last minute. Once the veggies are tender, add your liquids, followed by the tomatoes, beans,frozen veggies, and Italian meat. Bring to a slow boil, then turn down heat and let simmer for 30 minutes before serving. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh bread. Leftover soup may be frozen.

Restaurants propose outside seating in Monterey
Would you like to see more outside dining in Monterey? The city is surveying downtown restaurants to see if it's something they want. On Thursday a committee continued its review of requests from restaurants for outdoor seating.
Thursday's survey won't mean a final answer for the restaurants that want the outdoor seating. City officials say they'll analyze the space available, parking, and other factors before making any decisions. The goal of all this is to revitalize the downtown area to benefit the local economy.
Driving by or walking by, restaurants want to catch the public's eye. Many of them, want to do so with extra seating, outside.
JC Hill, brewer at Alvarado Street Brewery said, "It really shows life on Alvarado you know being able to have that sort of European cafe like atmosphere I think is a big part and big step towards the overall vision of the downtown improvement plan."
City officials said they have been strategically looking for ways to improve and expand Monterey's downtown. Restaurants said that one of the benefits of outdoor seating is that when the weather is nice outside it makes the dining experience that much better. The Alvarado Street Brewery currently has outdoor dining. The restaurant said they would love to see the rest of the street provide the same experience, and see the same results as they have.
"I hope that other business around here will see the benefit to moving forward or wanting to provide outside dining to customers, it's been a big hit for us," Hill said-
The Alvarado Street Brewery didn't have outdoor seating when they first opened, but they applied for the permit several years ago, and have seen great results since.
General Manager Kris Cowdrey said, "I feel that we've gotten a lot more walk in business, people are walking by they're very interested to see what's going on."
Now other restaurants in the area are hoping to follow suit, but they need to get the OK from the City Council, a process that's already under way right now.
For now city leaders plan to continue surveying other streets in the area where restaurants hope to get the outdoor seating. Those streets include Calle Principal, Cannery Row, and Lighthouse Avenue.

The Lenovo K900 recently made an appearance at the Mobile World Congress, showing off some impressive benchmarks for its resident Intel Clover Trail+ processor. Competing well against the likes of the Exynos 4412 and even the Snapdragon S4 Pro and 600 chipsets, Intel is showing that the company is serious about expanding its presence in the Android world.
Benchmarks, of course, are rarely indicative of real-life performance, but they are often used by us bloggers to distinguish one smartphone/chipset from another in a standardized, quantitative way. This is especially so with new devices, as the press usually has access only to pre-production models at the time of product announcement, and they usually only get to play with the devices a few minutes.
Now that I've gotten the overly-detailed disclaimer out of the way, you can see in the following screen grabs taken from GSM Arena's site to show how Intel's 2.0 GHz dual-core Clover Trail+ chipset competed against some of today's top Android handsets:
Here you can clearly see Intel's strength, as the K900 outperforms last year's Galaxy S III (Exynos 4412) and HTC Butterfly (Snapdragon S4 Pro). Surprisingly, the Clover Trail+ chipset also outperforms this year's flagship phones in the AnTuTu benchmark, including the Sony Xperia Z and the HTC One.
The Quadrant benchmark is the one that brings the K900 back down to Earth (although the Quadrant scores also underscore wide performance gaps between phones having the same chipset). The K900 narrowly beat out last year's Snapdragon S4 Pro-powered Nexus 4 (surprised?), the Tegra 3-based LG Optimus 4x HD and the Exynos 4412-powered Meizu MX 4-Core. However, all three chipsets get their revenge via the Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II (Exynos 4412), the HTC One X and One X+ (Tegra 3), and the Sony Xperia Z (Snapdragon S4 Pro). Beating all of them by a wide margin is the HTC One (Snapdragon 600).
The SunSpider benchmark shows off Intel's Web browsing prowess, with only the iPhone 5 and the Windows Phone 8-based Samsung ATIV S and Lumia 920 beating out the K900 (running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean). All other Android phones tested (including the HTC One and the Intel Medfield-powered Motorola RAZR i) proved inferior to the K900. On a side note, the brand new Xperia Z and the Nexus 4 placed last by a wide margin among all of the phones tested.

About two-thirds of U.S. cities have reached peak employment levels following the recession about ten years ago. The job gains and competitive market are increasing wages.
IHS Global Insight economist James Diffley just detailed a report that shows wage changes in cities across the U.S. San Josetbvxwqvqdqrqdrafwyrvtdqcrzqtbbcdf, Calif., Sioux City, Iowa, and Santa Rosa, Calif. all had stellar year-over-year job growth of abov 5%. Of the 381 cities in the report, 21 had wage growth above 3.5%.
Diffley notes in the report the recovery has not been positive everywhere. A total of 11 cities saw wage decreases, including four cities in TexasLouisiana, which can be attributed to the falling oil prices.
U.S. employers added only 38,000 jobs in May, the worst performance for the labor market since September 2010. Indeed, job creation appears to have slowed markedly since last year and many cities are feeling the sting of falling oil prices and the squeeze on manufacturing from a strong dollar and weak overseas demand.

Doesn't the title of this article answer itself? Since the world has plenty of the rich, but not famous in the context of privacy-invasion.
it is a sad indictment on us that we turn the people on our TV screens into heros ( I include Reggie, Gwynnie and Cathy Freeman )
What a shallow society we live in. Who cares about these people who think they have any sort of social standing. Money means nothing and having money does not give you fame and does not make you superior. Any derelict can win tattslotto. Breeding gives people class, not money. People are people no matter who they are and what they have, no one is any better than anyone else and as for movie stars being famous, no they are the same as you and I, no better, no worse. Our shallow society is so bored witless that reading about others lives gives them something to think about other than the usual mundane daily routine.
Phil - while I understand your point and it certainly has merit, I think that it highlights one of the biggest problems of democracy: people lose sight of the policy because of their opinion of the politician.

I'm sure if people 'got a life' of their own they would not be interested in what celebrities do. People strive for fame and wish to be like celebrities because they lead shallow, vacuous lives. Celebrities who prostitue themselves for publicity are also shallow and vacuous. Grow up!!

Anchoring in Small Spaces

This article was originally published on SailNet in July 2001.

Whether you're tying up to a palm tree or a glacier, getting the boat to stay put can put a priority on creative thinking when it comes to anchoring in the confines of a small cove, bay, or estuary.

Anchoring has become an increasingly demanding art. Veteran sailors are well aware that many anchorages which were wide open a few years ago are now dedicated almost completely to mooring fields. Some that were lined with lovely fields and mangroves are now surrounded by solid concrete bulkheads and high-rise condos. Places where a few cruising friends used to congregate are now filled to capacity with hundreds, if not thousands, of boats. Dock space is under siege in some areas, leaving boats to raft up or execute their version of a Med moor.

This situation often leaves all of us with two choicesbed down among the other boats, or move to a lesser-used spot some distance away. Both of these alternatives usually require using less space than we are accustomed to having. And using less space requires a better understanding of anchoring principles.

Most sailboats operate best in forward gear. Backing up for a Med mooring like this can test both crew and skipper, especially if there are rocks or other obstructions nearby.

Med Moor As marinas continue to fill up, some have begun to adopt what most sailors refer to as a Med moor. The name is derived, of course, from a type of docking that has been used in parts of the Mediterranean for centuries, where numerous commercial and pleasure vessels often have to share very limited harbor space. A Med moor conserves space by having each boat use only a beam-width of dock, instead of the full length of the boat, thus allowing three boats access to the dock where only one would have fit if tied alongside.

In a Med moor, the boat sets an anchor out in front of the assigned space at the dock or seawall, then backs into the opening between two other boats to tie the stern to the dock cleats. This all sounds simple, but many sailboats simply do not back up very predictably, especially the heavy, full-keeled craft favored by many offshore cruisers. Confused wave action off a seawall, cross winds, or strong currents can also make this procedure a real heart pounder. Coordinated teamwork between the foredeck and helmsman is mandatory, and hand signals are essential if the dock is in a noisy urban area. Instructions can be easily garbled by the engine or blocked by the dodger. If you can find an empty slip or T-dock to practice the Med moor, by all means take advantage of the opportunity to perfect your communications, timing, and technique.

Sailboats are designed to go forward, and so most of us mount all of our extra "stuff" on, or hanging out over, the transom. When executing a Med moor, however, all systems are thrown in reverse, and care must be taken to keep delicate stern gear such as self steering, wind generators, solar panels, and dinghy davits from being reduced to dock rubble.

Note the bow ladder affixed to the pulpit. Such adaptations can help you get your boat secured in tight spots like this one.

Bahamian Moor Many anchorages have a reversing current. Every boat reacts differently to various combinations of wind and tidal flow, and it is not unusual to see boats facing all points of the compass as the water ebbs and flows. In one extreme case, we once endured an evening with the wind dead astern and the anchor rode woven through the keel, shaft strut, and rudder on its passage directly aft. When the wind and current are opposed and of nearly equal strength, it isn't unusual to see full-keeled boats broadside to both, aimlessly wandering around the anchorage with the rode hanging slack off the bows.

If unlimited swing room exists, reversing currents present very little problem, even though the looks on the faces of sailors experiencing it for the first time can be entertaining. In small creeks, or deep cuts between islands or sandbars, or in crowded harbors, however, these reversing currents create a need to limit the boat's swing room. The other condition that sometimes calls for a Bahamian moor is if you are forced to anchor in a mooring field, where all the boats are literally anchored on a very short scope.

A Bahamian moor is nothing more than spreading the V on a traditional two-anchor set until the V has become a straight line with the anchors set 180 degrees apart. With one anchor set up-current and the second set down-current, the boat is effectively immobilized in one place, regardless of the actions of water flow or wind. When the tide changes and the current reverses, the boat simply pulls on the other rode.

With practice, patience, and experience, you should be able to get your vessel in to almost any tight anchorage.

The biggest problem with the Bahamian Moor is from the rodes chafing the stem of the boat and the bottom paint for the full length of the hull. Even if a little slack is left in both rodes, when the wind opposes the current, the boat may well sit on the aft anchor. Many experienced cruisers help overcome this difficulty by running sentinels, or heavy weights, down each rode to the bottom. These weights deflect the rode downward, effectively increasing the catenary and acting as an automatic retracting system on the slack rode. It isn't 100 percent effective, but it does help. Sentinels and riding gear should be a part of every cruiser's storm anchoring system in any event.

There are several ways to set a Bahamian moor. We normally anchor to the existing current, let out twice the required scope to let the boat fall back downstream, drop the second anchor, then haul our way back upstream to the desired position. If a strong cross wind makes this difficult, we will revert to the actual Bahamian practice of the "flying Bahamian moor" in which the secondary anchor is thrown (literally) off the bow while the boat is still moving forward up-current. When the double scope point is reached, power is taken off, the primary anchor is dropped, and the boat is allowed to settle back down-current while the slack is taken out of the secondary rode. This practice is fine when the locals perform it under sail, but every time we do it under power, we hold our breath for fear of catching the first rode in the prop. The third way is to take the second anchor out by dinghyand I'd rather have a root canal.

Anchoring Fore-and-Aft We used to hate small anchorages and avoided them like the plague. Over time, however, we've come to appreciate the little creeks and tiny coves, often choosing remote places in which we can barely turn the boat around. Here, a Bahamian moor is a necessity to avoid ending up with the keel in the mud, especially if there is a reversing current.

There is a way to alleviate the problems of rodes chafing the boat's hull, however, that also limits swing even more than the Bahamian mooranchoring fore-and-aft. There is no secret to this. If a dedicated stern anchor is handy, that's the ideal approach, making the "flying fore-and-aft moor" a real possibility (since the rode is aft, you won't have to worry about running over it). Another possibility is to follow the procedure for a Bahamian moor, then removing one of the anchors from a bow cleat and taking it back to a stern cleat. But you must remember to add another boat length of rode to the stern anchor in order to maintain adequate scope if you do it by this method. The last way, of course is to anchor on the primary, then carry the stern anchor out in the dreaded dinghy maneuver. I've already mentioned how I feel about that.

Two stern lines can keep the boat's bow pointed to sea, which is the preferred method if you're not familiar with an area and you suspect the possibility of unannounced swells.

There are other reasons to use a stern, or even a breast, anchor. Holding the boat away from a dock or seawall or positioning the boat so that she lies head to an annoying swell are good uses of a stern anchor. We once encountered an anchorage so tight that we had to use a stern anchor to keep our boat from swinging out into a ferry channel (and the ferry roared by at full throttle every half-hour a few feet off our port side). Do remember, though, that sailboats do not like to be kept from swinging bow into the wind. A stern anchor used in moderate to strong winds or currents can exert many times more force on the ground tackle, boat, and her deck gear than if it was deployed off the bow.

You may not use the three specialty types of anchoring outlined above very often, but it is wise to have some knowledge of them and a little practice executing them. The time will come when they are essential to the safety of your boat, her crew, and your neighbors.

I've started laying out my plans for Spring.
1) I'm going to hook my PCV system back up.
A funky water/oil gunk mix is building up in my crankcase and valve cover areas.
Water vapor is one of the key things extracted by the PCV system, but since mine is completely disconnected I no longer have a vacuum to pull out that junk.
The oil catch can fills with water and a that milky oil/water vapor mix. No actual oil though.
I fear this milky building will eventually block vital oil passages.
Aside from that, I'm tired of smelling hot oil from the catch can breather when I used the heater.
2) Reroute the ambient pipe.
I have yet to drag the pipe on anything, but it's just been one of those things I feel I could have done better.
The new pipe will be routed across the top of the turbo.
3) Clutch.
I'm leaning towards the Exedy OEM replacement clutch/flywheel combo. (Part # FS107 from
Randy has really praised it's performance on their turbo ST at the road course, and that's more punishment then I'll put on it.
I have more time to decide on the clutch though.
4) Poly mounts.
I'm not sure of this yet. We have our first baby on the way and he comes before car parts. :)
I've had poly tranny mount inserts since before the turbo.
5) Trailor hitch.
I know it has nothing to do with a turbo but it's a modification. :)
A huge thanks to

Greek player Giorgos Katidis banned for life after celebrating goal with Nazi salute
Katidis, 20, a former captain of Greece's Under-19 team, made the salute in celebrating his winning goal in a 2-1 Super League victory over lowly Veria late on Saturday.
"The player's action to salute to spectators in a Nazi manner is a severe provocation, insults all the victims of Nazi bestiality and injures the deeply pacifist and human character of the game," EPO said in a statement.
Katidis was heavily criticised by political parties and fans on Twitter and Facebook following the incident at the Athens Olympic Stadium. Sunday marks the 70th anniversary of Greek Jew deportations in Nazi concentration camps in the Second World War.
AEK have asked Katidis to explain himself and will then decide his future at a board meeting next week. Katidis denied he gave a Nazi salute. "I am not a fascist and would not have done it if I had known what it meant," Katidis said on his Twitter account.
would an NCAA or pro-player be banned for something similar here?

Seems excessive. Euros obviously hate free speech.
There is a difference between the black power solute, and the nazi salute.
It was an analogy, I doubt anyone besides yourself thought he was suggesting they were exactly the same thing.

concerted effort across Europe to curtail racism in futbol.
banned for life
Yes. One is a clenched fist.
Greece has a problem with the economy and crime and many see illegals as part of the problem.
I don't think its that they hate free speech nearly as much as it has to do with a huge, concerted effort across Europe to curtail racism in futbol.

UNDP Administrator Helen Clark pays courtesy call on President Aquino
MANILA (Mabuhay) – United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Helen Clark paid a courtesy call on President Benigno S. Aquino III on Thursday in Malacanan Palace.
Clark, former New Zealand Prime Minister, is in the country to strengthen UNDP's partnership and cooperation with the Philippine government, as well as to witness the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.
During a press briefing in Malacanang, Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said President Aquino and UNDP Administrator Clark would discuss issues of mutual interests, such as the UN's participation on the rehabilitation of areas hit by Typhoon Yolanda.
"Si Helen Clark po ang tagapangulo o pinuno ng United Nations Development Programme at malaki po ang itinutulong sa atin ng United Nations through its various agencies, kasama na po 'yung UNDP at ang Commission on Humanitarian Assistance na noon pang dumating ang super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) ay nandito na sa ating bansa, kaya ipagpapatuloy po ang pakikipag-ugnayan ng ating bansa sa United Nations," Coloma said.
"Inaasahan po natin na tatalakayin ng Pangulong Aquino at ni Chairperson Helen Clark 'yung mga paksa na mayroong mutual interest ang ating bansa at ang United Nations, kung paano pa mapapalakas 'yung partisipasyon ng United Nations sa pagbabagong tatag ng mga Yolanda-affected areas, at 'yun ding kabuuan ng ating development plan dahil ito ay UNDP," the secretary added.
Secretary Coloma said the President and the UNDP's administrator might also discuss the progress in the Philippine Development Plan, the government's development framework that seeks to address poverty, create employment opportunities and achieve inclusive growth.
"Siguro pwede na ring matalakay diyan 'yung mga updates doon sa ating Philippine Development Plan dahil big picture ang concern nitong UNDP, 'yung mas malaking larawan ng pangmatagalang kaunlaran ng buong bansang Pilipinas," he said.
On Wednesday, UNDP Administrator Clark visited typhoon-hit Tacloban to see the ongoing recovery efforts there. (MNS)

Inside PDA, March 29, 2013
PA farmers help make the state a trout fisherman's paradise. As the trout season opens this weekend in southeastern PA, don't forget that PA growers produce trout for conservation and recreation valued at $9.2 million. PA is third in the nation, distributing 1.8 million pounds of trout to the delight of anglers statewide.
From the Field is a feature spotlighting PDA staff.
"I'm definitely a dog person, not a cat person," said Megan Horst, Kennel Compliance Specialist with PDA's Dog Law Enforcement Office. Her dogs Lacye, a mixed breed, and Tex, a Rottweiler, would likely agree.
Megan's responsible for ensuring that PA's 52 commercial dog kennels are inspected twice a year and are in compliance. She also investigates any complaints filed about selling or advertising dogs online. That's the other part of her job: handling dog law-related computer crimes.
"I enjoy the opportunity to travel across the state, building working relationships with kennel owners," she said. "I also enjoy interacting with and educating the public during community events."
If she looks familiar, it may be because she's on the cover of PDA's dog law brochure. She's pictured here with Lacye during a dog licensing event earlier this month.
In a typical day, Megan will start by catching up on emails, phone calls and paperwork before meeting a fellow warden to inspect two commercial kennels. She's training more county wardens on how to inspect for kennel compliance. An inspection involves checking for compliance by taking climate data, inspecting the facility and "checking lots of paperwork." Somewhere in the day she will look for people selling dogs online who are not licensed, ensuring they don't exceed the 26-dog threshold for requiring a kennel license.
"There aren't enough hours in the day," Megan said about the tougher aspects of her position. "The paperwork can easily pile up, and I get an occasional funny look and questions when I stop for gas or lunch in my uniform. But that's another chance to educate people about what we do." Megan's a member of the team that's making a difference for dogs and their owners across PA.

this lip gloss is amazing. I got a very tiny sample (which is the worst) but that tiny sample smelled so good, perfect color and wasn't sticky at all, which is a must for lip gloss. I ended up buying the full size because I never tried a better lip gloss. Although expensive, it's worth it. Gwyneth Paltrow was right ;)5

A Treatise on Good Works HTML version
To the Illustrious, High-born Prince and Lord, John Duke of Saxony, Landgrave
of Thuringia, Margrave of Meissen, my gracious Lord and Patron.
Illustrious, High-born Prince, gracious Lord! My humble duty and my feeble
prayer for your Grace always remembered!
For a long time, gracious Prince and Lord, I have wished to show my humble
respect and duty toward your princely Grace, by the exhibition of some such
spirtual wares as are at my disposal; but I have always considered my powers
too feeble to undertake anything worthy of being offered to your princely Grace.
Since, however, my most gracious Lord Frederick, Duke of Saxony, Elector and
Vicar of the Holy Roman Empire, your Grace's brother, has not despised, but
graciously accepted my slight book, dedicated to his electoral Grace, and now
published -- though such was not my intention, I have taken courage from his
gracious example and ventured to think that the princely spirit, like the princely
blood, may be the same in both of you, especially in gracious kindness and good
will. I have hoped that yout princely Grace likewise would not despise this my
humble offering which I have felt more need of publishing than an other of my
sermons or tracts. For the greatest of all questions has been raised, the question
of Good Works; in which is practised immeasurably more trickery and deception
than in anything else, and in which the simpleminded man is so easily misled that
our Lord Christ has commanded us to watch carefully for the sheep's clothings
under which the wolves hide themselves.
Neither silver, gold, precious stones, nor any rare thing has such manifold alloys
and flaws as have good works, which ought to have a single simple goodness,
and without it are mere color, show and deceit.
And although I know and daily hear many people, who think slightingly of my
poverty, and say that I write only little pamphletst and German sermons for the
unlearned laity, this shall not disturb me. Would to God I had in all my life, with all
the ability I have, helped one layman to be better! I would be satisfied, thank
God, and be quite willing then to let all my little books perish.
Whether the making of many great books is an art and a benefit to the Church, I
leave others to judge. But I believe that if I were minded to make great books
according to their art, I could, with God's help, do it more readily perhaps than
they could prepare a little discourse after my fashion. If accomplishment were as
easy as persecution, Christ would long since have been cast out of heaven

On a dark road the beam pattern shows a distinct "cutoff" where it hits the road surface. Good for oncoming traffic, I suppose but feels like the headlights are pointed the the passenger side of the car.
On a dark road the beam pattern shows a distinct "cutoff" where it hits the road surface. Good for oncoming traffic, I suppose but feels like the headlights are pointed the the passenger side of the car.
Yep, HIDs are even more pronounced.
Headlights are supposed to point slightly toward the passenger side, or at least the driver's side light should, just a bit anyway. That cut off is a common lighting pattern for "city lights" in europe, or so I have come to understand.Originally Posted by Airboy
My 99 1.8T has exactly the same pattern.
That's right. It's so the lights illuminate the signs on the side of the road.Originally Posted by Airboy
This is what my headlight pattern looks like (I was comparing 2 different bulbs) Your beams appear to be slanted... I don't know if that is normal or not. I think I need to adjust mine slightly, my right side headlight points a little higher than my left side.Originally Posted by Airboy
Looks a little slanted to the right :suspicio: , but with the projector type of head light on our B5.5, that is the exact same pattern that I have on my car. Just happened to change out my bulbs last night. :wink:
Is there an easy way to adjust the headlights? Mine are a little off and I couldn't find anything in the owners manual...
I believe it is as simple as twisting the little plastic screws on top of the headlight casing. I have never done it myself, so I don't know what tools you need. I believe it is just a torx wrench...
On my '99 all you need is a good sized philips screwdriver. Above the headlamp units are two small holes which allow access to the adjuster screws. They are allen head sockets with philips slots inside so you can use either(if I recall correctly...I don't think they were torx. I used a philips anyway, that much I know for sure).Originally Posted by cranch
The passenger lowbeam should be a bit higher than the driver's side...that's the way all factory lamps are set up. Highbeams should both be about the same height though.
Adjusting the low beam for the B5.5 is fairly simple. Look for the two white plastic screws above the head light housing, but recessed under the plastic cover. Take care not to over adjust and blind on coming driver.FOG LIGHT ADJUSTMENT
"For the fog lights, if you remove the plastic grill surrounding them, you will see a large hex screw at the base of the fog lamp housing. This will adjust the aim up/down."
"For adjusting the low beams, there are 2 white plastic 6mm hex nuts above each headlight assemble. The inner nut next to the grill adjusts up and down....counter clockwise adjusts up /clockwise adjusts down.....the outer nut next to the fender adjusts left and right."
These lights look like HID's to me (color and pattern).Originally Posted by Airboy

An exclusive interview of Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) and Novinite.bg from New York City with drama director Andrew Volkoff.
Andrew Volkoff is an US freelance theatre director, currently living and working in New York City.
A Milwaukee native, he has graduated from Macalester College with B.A. in Theatre and French, and has worked as Freelance Director at the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre and as Associate Artistic Director at the Barrington Stage Company....
Why didn't you ask him about his family: wife, children, etc.? It's a particularly Bulgarian topic to touch upon, isn't it? Since you were playing the "one of us" card, you should have asked him, don't you think?!

toilet install - did I screw up?
Me again, old house still, another issue. When I moved into this house in June I did some work on the floor and had to remove/put back the toilet. I had never done this before but had instructions from books, Internet etc. and it wasn't all that complicated.
So, when the toilet went back on I replaced the wax ring and there has been no sign of leaking or toilet moving or anything odd in that regard. Meanwhile, and I can't figure out why this only happens sometimes, every so often (like two or three times a week) I notice a really foul smell when the thing is flushed (and you can stop giggling, this isn't just because someone ate bad that day if you get my drift). Yesterday I noticed a big air bubble coming up from the bottom of the bowl when it was flushed. Other times it's lots of little air bubbles. Is that normal? I don't recall ever seeing air bubbles in a toilet before.
Is that what is causing the smell? Could there be air in the trap or whatever? What is the problem and how do I fix it?
Have you made any other changes to the plumbing in this house?
The bubbles make it sound more like a venting problem than anything else. When a vent is clogged, the drain system does not get the air it needs to work properly. If you can, go onto the roof and look down the vent pipe with a flashlight to see if there is possibly a birds nest, leaves etc blocking the line.
more info
Some other plumbing has been changed. Basically all the lines in were changed (by a plumber) from galvanized to plastic. The lines going out were left alone as he said they were fine. I don't think he checked the stack which is original (1930).
I can't get up on the roof (being a chicken and all) but there are lots of trees around here so leaves could be a possibility. I wish I had the number of the tenant who lived here before I bought the place. He is a plumber as it happens and may have noticed and know what the issue is (I don't expect he would have fixed anything unless the owner at the time was willing to pay for his time).
If there is something blocking the vent is it a big deal clearing it? Also is this something I should be very concerned about or could I wait? Part of the concern I suppose is that where I live in Canada, winter is showing it's ugly face already and I have no idea how freezing etc. might impact this or getting it fixed. I also have so much to do around this house that spending more money on plumbing isn't making me a happy person.
A main vent problem can be very serious. Plumbing systems need air to facilitate water flow. If the vent is clogged, air is blocked from entering the system. Without air, the water draining from fixtures pulls a vacuum on the lines and sucks the water out of the traps. This allows sewer gases to enter your home. Sewer gas CAN contain Methane gas. It also contains all the chemicals, mixed together, that have been poured down the drains. Ammonia and bleach, when mixed, form a VERY toxic gas. This is just one form of gas caused by normal household chemicals. Cleaning the vent is an easy thing, once you get up on the roof. Remove what you can by hand and then flush the line with a garden hose.
Well this just gets more comforting by the minute I must say. I was just doing some googling and one site said if it was the vent the toilet would gurgle, if it was the drain it would bubble. So mine bubbles but has no trouble flushing (which the site that made the distinction mentioned as being one of the symptoms of a drain clog). Have you heard this gurgle/bubble theory before?
How many vent stacks are typical in a house? I know I only have the one big old drain pipe, would that mean only one vent?
I guess I am just trying to anticipate what I would be up against when it comes to getting a plumber out (I am not going on the roof, that would be a bad idea for me). Also how important it might be given I live in an area where the shortage of trades is huge and they are lucky enough to be able to pick and choose their job. In other words I may have a wait on my hands and would like to know how I can tell if or when this becomes more urgent.
Listen the fact your getting a fowl smell plus the air bubbles says vent. Why the vents job is to get rid of the smell. Climb up on the roof CAREFULLY and see if there clogged. Your looking for any vent thats not furnance related. Usually round and about 1 foot off of roof.
Usually, there is one main vent stack. All fixtures are connected to this stack. If you have a room with plumbing fixtures that is a long distance away from the rest of the fixtures, there COULD be an additional vent pipe. OR, if plumbing was added after the original plumbing was installed. Sometimes it is easier to run a new vent than to tie into the original one. The number of fixtures connected to the vent may also require a second vent. Normally, the vent is 3" or 4". This can change depending on the area of the country you live in due to temperatures. Smaller lines can freeze in the winter if they are small diameter. My vent in Ohio was 3", while the one in Florida was 2". I have also seen (in colder areas) the main vent run in one size and the pipe exiting the roof, a larger size to prevent freezing. A simple explanation of a vent: Stick a drinking straw into a glass of liquid. Place your finger over the end of the straw and remove the straw from the liquid. You will notice that the liquid remains in the straw. Then remove your finger from the end of the straw and the liquid will exit the straw. You have just "vented" the straw.
The bubbles could be normal, check this out, as the water from the tank is transfered to the bowl, air pockets can get trapped between the water and the passages the water flows through at, as the water moves through the toilet bowl it can and will push the air out thats trapped infront of the flow, so it has to exit somewhere, i.e. the bottom of the bowl, this can happen not just to your toilet but many others out there.
As far as the smell. are you sure you got a good seal on the bottom of the toilet when you reset it?
So the bubbles might be normal..well maybe not normal, but not unheard of?
As for the seal, well this was my first time but I did buy a thicker ring (because I had added floor) and it took me quite a while to get the toilet to hug the floor again. Lots of pushing and wiggling to get it back down and even tightening the bolts little by little over a couple of days. So now it feels solid on the floor. I also didn't use any caulk or sealant of any type around it as someone warned me I wouldn't know if it was seated properly and not leaking if I did that. So, given the limited amount of experience I have with such a thing, it seems fine.
So how does one know if the seal is good? I assume if I lift it again and look that I would have to replace the ring again and I don't want to be doing that unless I have more info to know I am doing it right.
As for vents, this is a very small old house (900') and all the plumbing is in the center of the house so maybe I only have that one vent. I suppose I could stick my head into the attic and see what runs through it. I can't actually see most of the roof or get back far enough either. The neighbours have the best view.
Do you have any other fixtures (tub, sinks etc) that bubble when draining? Try filling the tub with about 2" of water. Then unplug the tub and flush the toilet. If the tub "burps", you probably have a vent problem. OR, fill the tub as before and then drain it while watching the water in the toilet bowl. If the water in the bowl moves, vent problem.
I tried filling the tub (and the sink since it was close by too) as you described and no change in the toilet water level or burping or gurgling by any of the them. I'll try it again when I take a bath since that will be a lot more water and time to see if anything happens.
Seeing how you added floor it could be the wax ring. How much did you increase the height of the floor? Normally plumbers will double up on the wax gasket if the height has increased over a specific height. Just tell us how much you increased the height of the floor and RON THE PLUMBER will know if you should have doubled up on the wax ring. Ps do you see any wax coming out from under the toliet where the toliet meets the floor.
Going from the direction that it MAY be the wax seal. If you raised the floor level, you should have used a flange extender to make up the difference in floor height. Using more than one wax seal has drawbacks. They can slide while trying to set the toilet and block the exit hole. You stated that you had a lot of trouble getting the toilet to sit on the floor while using a thicker wax seal. This could be what is causing the bubbles. There may be wax partially blocking the exit hole.
Flange extender is the way to go. But most diyers are intimidated by doing something like that.

Crashes like crazy
Once you get so far this game crashes a lot. I didn't read reviews before buying so save your money!! It crashes and has been for years apparently. I don't think they're going to fix this issue. Very frustrating.
Challenge mode crashes every time
Was hoping that new update fixed my below issues, but no such luck. Great game, but challenge mode is useless and has been for a long time. Step up and fix it folks!
PLEASE FIX! I love this game but it keeps crashing (on my iPad 1) on the challenge mode as soon as you upgrade. If fixed the game is a 5 star rating. I will come back and give it a 5 star review when this problem is fixed.
