The Bloom Box is a fuel cell based on technology developed at Nasa to produce oxygen on Mars. The company gave a preview of the system to the CBS 60 Minutes programme."This invention, working on Mars, would have allowed the NASA administrator to pick up a phone and say 'Mr President, we know how to produce oxygen on Mars,'" inventor K R Sridhar told 60 Minutes.When the plans were cancelled Sridhar adapted the design to turn it into a cheap fuel cell, consisting of ceramic discs with a metal alloy casing that can be stacked. The firm claims that 64 of the stacks can power a small business. Sridhar said that the first customer for the system was Google, which has had one of the larger units powering a datacentre for 18 months.EBay installed five of the Boxes nine months ago and has already saved more than $100,000 (£64,000) in electricity costs, according to chief executive John Donahoe."The footprint for Bloom is much more efficient," said Donahoe. "When you average it over seven days a week, 24 hours a day, the Bloom Box puts out five times as much power than we can actually use."The large Bloom Box currently costs $800,000 (£520,000), but the company said that this could fall as low as $3,000 (£1,950) with mass manufacturing techniques currently being researched.The goal of the company is nothing less than the elimination of the need for an electricity grid with local power sources."The Bloom box is intended to replace the grid. It's cheaper than the grid, it's cleaner than the grid," said Sridhar.

SS16: Flat out Sebastiens neck and neck
Rally Portugal leader Sebastien Ogier overcame a near-stall on the start line of SS16 to defend his position from Sebastien Loeb once again. And after claiming he had more speed in reserve on the morning pass, the Citroen Junior team driver admitted he was pushing himself and his tyres to the limit on the repeat.
The swept Felizes stage was more abrasive than it had been earlier and this, combined with a higher ambient temperature, made tyre wear a crucial consideration. Loeb was the stage winner, finishing six-tenths ahead of Ogier, but felt he had worn his Pirellis more than his rival. Asked about his chances of catching Ogier, Loeb said: "I'm not giving up, but it's getting more and more difficult." Heading to the final gravel stage of the rally, Ogier's lead stands at 9.5sec.
Dani Sordo held on to third place and extended his advantage over Petter Solberg a little to 5.4sec. Mikko Hirvonen, meanwhile, edged closer to Petter and will start SS17 trailing by just two seconds.
SS17: Ogier leads with just the Super Special to go...
Having fought off Sebastien Loeb's challenge through the final gravel stage of Rally de Portugal, just 2km of tarmac stands between Sebastien Ogier and his maiden WRC victory.
Loeb was fastest through SS17 but was only 1.8sec quicker than his Junior team rival, giving Ogier a 7.7sec advantage for the head-to-head Algarve Super Special.
Dani Sordo holds the upper hand in the fight for the final podium place but Petter Solberg (+4.6sec) and Mikko Hirvonen (+8.4sec) are right behind and ready to pounce should he make a mistake.

CLEARLAKE OAKS -- Authorities Monday released the names of the two men killed in a crash in front of the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge last week.
Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Brooks identified the victims as Dennis Glik, 58, and Zemmie Cedric Potter, 54.
The Clearlake Oaks men were driving eastbound in a Ford box truck on Highway 20 about 6 p.m. Wednesday when it collided with a 1964 Toyota FJ-40 land cruiser carrying three people westbound, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Tuggle.
Glik reportedly steered the box truck across the double-yellow lines, possibly turning toward the lodge.
The two vehicles crashed and the impact forced both into the entrance of the lodge, Tuggle stated.
The box truck spun and hit a signpost before coming to rest with its wheels on the edge of the highway, Tuggle stated. The land cruiser stopped in the lodge entrance.
Emma Steele-Hunt, 12, of Santa Rosa suffered moderate injuries after being ejected from the Toyota.
Scott Flora, 36, of Ukiah was behind the wheel and also sustained moderate injuries. The third occupant, Zachary Roes, 30, of Santa Rosa, suffered minor injuries.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Somewhere north of 1500 rounds so far, and the Les Baer just keeps on working splenidly.:watching:
Is the poll for number of failures this week?
OMG!!! If I could compress the video enough to not take up 500MB, I'd go out and film an entire session from cleaning to shooting 500 rounds to cleaning, nonstop and I would put $50 on it that I wouldn't have a problem. The main reason for weapons failure with quality made guns is shooter related in my opinion. I also bet that I could take any gun out there and make it fail by not gripping and holding it properly.
Yes I know there are some "bad eggs" out there when it comes to guns, but with most quality guns, 99% of the time, I'd say it's all shooter related.
You guys and your 1911 hating!!!:mrgreen:
Man..I just watched that Todd Jarrett 1000 rounds through a para...Damn that's cool!
heh..in case anyone had missed it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7wL2QuFTLQ <--Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFF0TbhgQMY <--Part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfZ9AdOWUNw <-- Part 3
I have a para single stack commander and what can I say she's a beautify and a half... fun little thing to shoot. She was my main carry gun until I picked up a Sig P6. But before I cleaned her and put her in the safe towards the end she was having problems locking the slide back on the last round. Figured it was mag's and that seemed to fix her once I changed but then she started doing it again. I'm still happy with her though and will get the problem figured out sooner or later.
Another 100 rounds today. Even cheap Blazer won't make it jam. :smt023
Les Baer just keeps on trucking.
I've had about 6-10 failures with 1911's. I've also shot over 80,000 rounds or so through three with over 60,000 through one of them. The failures were magazines, worn out springs that needed to be replaced, broken slidestop, and ammo failures.
I've had about 4 failures with glocks. One a g-19 (yes) that refused to feed 9mm ammo of any sort less than a certain grain weight, and another g-30 that had a guide rod problem. I've shot over 2,000 round through them.
My point is that mechanical devices will eventually fail especially if you use them. Also, sometimes things are made just a bit close on spec tolerances and may speed up the failure process even if they are well thought out designs.
Three failures through a Witness match .45 due to a bad spring when I only had a few hundred rounds through it.
All problems have been resolved through proper diagnosis and repair.
If someone has never had any failures with their firearm I know they haven't shot very much at all.
2200 rounds and still no issues.:watching:
I have a Sprinfield (loaded) full size 1911.
I had no failures until last weekend (probably about 2000 rounds previously), and I had 2.:smt076
I am currently blaming it on a new mag that I got a couple of weeks ago, but will clean everything and try again and see what happens.
I typically have fed the cheapest Wally-world ammo I could get...Blazer Brass, WWB or Remington. All fmj and 230 gr (I think). Although, early on I did try a few hollow points, and didn't have any problems, I wasn't going to spend that kind of cash consistently.
I own Les Baers, Kimbers, Wilsons, Colts, Springfields, Paras, Dan Wessons, Ed Brown and a few less known mfrs. Once they were broken in, I've had some problems but not enough to make me lose confidence in the 1911 platform. But then my Forum ID is "Slowfire" and my friends say that it is a descriptive name.
I've had one FTF in my Kimber and that was probably my fault. I wasn't being to nice to it at the time...
I have a Kimber Custom II Stainless.
I have had a couple since breakin but they were mostly my fault as I was learning to reload and also had a crimp setting wrong and let OAL get away from me once.
I am about 2000 rounds in, have shot mostly Blazer, S&B, Winchester White box, and lead reloads. Now I shoot almost exclusively 185 LSWC and it just eats them up. The pistol has made me a lover of the 1911 platform and the .45 caliber in general.
Rack and fire !
I have a springer loaded version the only jam I ever experienced was when I just plain Limp Wristed I polished the feed ramp and keep my wrist solid never a problem
I have a Les Baer. Failure is not an option.
Only failure I've had with my PT1911 was fail to feed. They were my reloads and the OAL was just a little long. My fault, not the guns.:mrgreen:
Les Bear: 0
Thunder Ranch Special
Pre-series 80 Combat Commander

A: CDP Pro II .40S&W Numerous Failures, not going to list them all
B: Kimber Stainless Ultra .40S&W, same deal as above

D: Kimber CDP Compact: 0
* Kimber failures started during break in and continued into the 600-750 round prior to repair
Mini-Max-Numerous failures, feeding/extracting.
I'm at just over 1k in my loaded without a single failure.
2.2G's It's at John Harrison's now for new sights and some fancy cosmetic touches. French borders cut in the slide, 2000 grit polish master blue, serrations on top of the slide, blend the magwell I installed and install a Ed Brown extended mag release. It will be a 3G+ pistol then.
had my Springfield little over a yr now,12oords no FTF's,no hiccups
Took the Kimber Raptor Pro II thru a defensive pistol class two Saturdays ago. Right around 500 round of hard shooting, no cleaning, NO hickups. This pistol has about 3500 thru it.

(183 quotes found)
"Much reading is an oppression of the mind, and extinguishes the natural candle, which is the reason of so many senseless scholars in the world."
"We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization"
"He (Thomas Paine) saw oppression on every hand; injustice everywhere; hypocrisy at the altar; venality on the bench, tyranny on the throne; and with a splendid courage he espoused the cause of the weak against the strong"
"Write on my gravestone: "Infidel, Traitor.", infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people."
"You cannot raise the standard against oppression, or leap into the breach to relieve injustice, and still keep an open mind to every disconcerting fact, or an open ear to the cold voice of doubt."
"People have got to get together and work together. I'm tired of the kind of oppression that white people have inflicted on us and are still trying to inflict."
"Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears."
"Singular indeed the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint"
"The more man clings to religion, the more he believes. The more he believes, the less he knows. The less he knows, the more stupid he is. The more stupid, the easier he can be governed! The easier to govern, the better he may be exploited. The more exploited, the poorer he gets. The poorer he gets, the richer and mightier the domineering classes get, the more riches and power they amass, the heavier their yoke upon the neck of the people."
"Competition is easier to accept if you realize it is not an act of oppression or abrasion - I've worked with my best friends in direct competition"

It was when she was 16, the same age as my eldest son, that I first noticed her amongst the crowd of youngsters who seemed to make our house their club.
She was sitting at the piano in our dining room playing, well, goodness only knows what - that part of the moment escapes me. What I do remember is her smile - and her breasts, bulging gently above her shirt, rising and falling gently as she drew breath, looking soft as thistledown, but firm enough to thrust proudly upwards and forwards.
And she wasn't just pin-up material; she was intelligent and talented as well - the piano was just one of the instruments she played.
A year or so passed and some of the crowd were pairing up, and if I was reading the signs correctly, not just for conversation, but she was still on her own. My wife, a friend and I had subscriptions to the orchestral concert series held in our city and if any of us couldn't make one of the dates we had taken to inviting her to go and fill the empty seat.
The better I knew her, the more I wanted her.
My wife understands me. She knows that I'll love her and live with her for ever; but that doesn't stop me falling in love - OK, in lust - with other pretty women. To us, 'faithfulness' means 'no deception': keeping no secrets from each other. So I told my wife about my desire for this beautiful girl. My wife's reaction was what I hoped for: "She's a woman now, not a schoolgirl any more - if she says 'yes' then it's OK with me."
It was in a restaurant after one of the concerts (just she and me that time) that I asked her...
My wife was right: she was quite grown up enough not to be at all offended by my improper suggestion, but her answer was a refusal: "What about your wife?"
I wanted to explain that my wife and I understood each other, and that...
But I couldn't - I mean, there's only so much you can explain over pasta!
To cut a long story short, the result was a 'no score defeat'.
Time went on and my feelings didn't change. Other things happened and - well, other things happened.
As I said, she was the same age as, and hung about with the same crowd as, my son. Maybe our liberal attitudes were the reason, but our house was the place where they all hung out. Some moved away to college or university and the farewell parties and reunions were sometimes pretty wild. At one of those she had far too much to drink and - well, I won't say what, but she did something she shouldn't have done. Actually, it didn't matter much to me - I've been young and drunk myself. But to her it was the ultimate sin - she was too embarrassed to face me. All I knew was that she didn't show up any more. Mind you, by that time our two had also fled the nest, so it was only at the reunions that we saw any of the crowd.
Several years passed. It seemed like very few to me, but it must have been something like a decade. This time the farewell party was for my younger son who was going abroad - but this one was at my elder son's house not ours. Then, suddenly, there she was. She came over to me and after a conventional greeting she apologized for her behaviour so long ago. She told me that a couple of weeks after it happened she'd seen me in town and was so embarrassed that she ran away before I saw her! Of course, I told her that was OK and gave her a hug to prove it.
And I looked down at her...
Of course, it wasn't the same shirt she wore back then - this one was blue while the other was black - but once again her cleavage showed, just as it had when she played our piano. Her breasts looked just as soft, just as firm, and just as tempting - and they had just the same affect on me as they had then.
I let go of her and she told me what had happened in her life: mostly down to three marriages to men who treated her like dirt. The last divorce has almost finished going through the courts. "So I'm single again," she said.
I've seen her several times since that and met her young sons - she's a really great mum - and she's coming with us to the next season of concerts...
She's nearly twice as old now as she was when she played our piano, but to me she still looks as fresh and beautiful as when she was 16.
Of course, she met someone else instead - on the Internet. He's a nice guy: I've met him...
But she's told me that they won't be an item in the long term - something about houses and all the kids from previous pairings.
Just maybe, instead of being a father figure, I might - one day - get to make love to her as I think I could.

"Hot Jupiter-type" planets are most likely to be alone in their systems, according to research by a University of Florida astronomer and others, made public May 7.
"Hot Jupiters" are giant planets beyond our solar system, roughly the size of Jupiter but orbiting close to their parent stars and thus much hotter than Earth or Jupiter, said UF professor Eric Ford. They have very short orbital periods, completing a turn around their stars in fewer than 10 days. This study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides new insights into how they are formed.
This research used information gathered by NASA's planet-hunting Kepler mission, which uses a 1-meter space telescope to stare constantly at a patch of the Milky Way, registering the small decreases in the light from stars caused when a planet crosses in front of it.
Scientists dug into Kepler's data and selected a sample of 63 planetary systems containing previously detected hot Jupiter candidates. Then they looked for signals of additional planets either crossing in front of the host stars or gravitationally tugging on the hot Jupiter's orbit. In all cases they found no evidence of additional planets. To allow comparisons, they used the same methods to study a sample of "warm Jupiter" candidates, equally big planets but located farther away from their parent stars and "hot Neptunes," smaller but closer to the stars. They found compelling evidence that at least 10 percent of the warm Jupiters and one third of the hot Neptunes have other planetary companions nearby in the system. Thus, why are all the hot Jupiters so lonely?
Astronomers believe it results from the way the hot Jupiters are formed, now thought to be different from most other planets. Current models suggest that they are probably formed farther away from their host star, and then gravitational interactions with another body cause their orbits to become highly elongated. Each orbit the hot Jupiter passes very close to the host star and then travels far away. The star raises tides on the planet, repeatedly stretching it and causing its orbit to become smaller and more circular. This process would remove or destroy other low-mass planets that originally formed between the star and the giant planet.
"We looked for companion planets near hot Jupiters in order to learn a bit more about their formation," Ford said. "The lack of nearby planets supports the theory that a close encounter with another body in the system caused the elongation of the orbit. When a giant planet repeatedly passes through the inner regions of a planetary system on an elongated orbit, it would wreak great havoc on any planets that had formed there. The other planets would either fall into the star, collide with the hot Jupiter or be kicked out of the system via a gravitational slingshot."
In 1995 the first planet orbiting a sun-like star was discovered. It and most exoplanets found in the early days of the exoplanet search happened to be hot Jupiters.
"That was because they are easier to find than smaller planets or others more distant to their host star," Ford said. "Now, we know that less than 1 percent of stars harbor hot Jupiters, so they are relatively rare. A special sequence of events like strong gravitational interactions between two giant planets followed by tidal circularization seems to be the most plausible scenario for the formation of hot Jupiters."
The research was led by Jason Steffen from the Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics.

When I chose to disable my Google plus account, the one complaint that hit home for me was a friend mentioning how interesting he found the sketches I had been posting there. I have been planning to upload my sketches to a self-hosted service or Deviant Art, but I simply never got around to it.
This week, I finally did upload my sketches to Drawspace.com. Drawspace is a terrific collection of tutorials that I highly recommend if you have any interest in learning to draw. I have been following the free online course for several months now and appreciate the gentle instruction and hands-on approach. I'm to the point now where I feel confident in displaying my work publicly, and hope you enjoy the album.

A plan by the European Union to impose a carbon dioxide emissions quota for all airlines flying into and out of the bloc could spark trade wars, aviation industry officials warned.
The so-called emissions trading scheme, which is to be voted on by the EU lawmakers next week, aims at cutting aviation pollution by forcing airlines to lower emissions by 3.0 percent in the first year and by 5.0 percent from 2013.
Airlines can exceed these caps, but they would have to pay for permits to do so.
All airlines -- European and non-European -- flying in and out of the EU would be brought into the scheme from 2012.
In addition, between 2013-2020, airlines also would have to pay for 15 percent of their emissions.
Officials from the International Air Transport Association, which represents the interests of the airline industry, told AFP that while the industry supported the principle of an emissions trading scheme, it wanted a global standard to be set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
They said IATA was opposed to EU's "unilateral" plan, which it they said violated an international aviation convention.
IATA Director for Government and Industry Affairs Carlos Grau Tanner said the EU's move could push non-European states to seek redress through global governing bodies such as UN-agency ICAO or even the International Court of Justice.
But beyond legal tussles, there could also be diplomatic flare-ups.
"What could happen is a typical trade war where they retaliate through completely different channels. You impose this on me, I'll find something else to hurt you. That's exactly the position that airlines don't want to be in," said Grau.
He noted that such a scheme would require an airline flying from outside Europe -- but making a stop at an EU airport -- to pay a fee to pollute, even though the flight was headed for a non-European destination.
Indications are already pointing towards fierce opposition led by the United States.
When the idea for the emissions trading scheme emerged last year, the ambassadors of Australia, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea and the United States raised their concerns in a letter to the German ambassador to the European Union. Germany at the time held the rotating EU presidency.
"Inclusion of our airlines in the EU scheme without the consent of our governments would potentially violate EU Member State international obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, as well as bilateral agreements," said the letter, which was also circulated to other EU representatives.
At an ICAO General Assembly meeting last September, countries lined up behind the US to oppose the EU initiative.
However, the EU pushed ahead as it felt that ICAO was dragging its feet on a global standard.
IATA spokesman Anthony Concil said he was confident that ICAO could deliver on a global solution.
He also said the current case was reminiscent of a long-drawn US-EU trade war on aircraft noise rules almost a decade ago.
A plan by the European Union to impose a carbon dioxide emissions quota for all airlines flying into and out of the bloc could spark trade wars, aviation industry officials warned.

University of California, Davis (Mechanical Engineer)
Hi, my name is Noren and I graduated from the University of California at Davis (UCD), majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in music. I have finished the chemistry, physics and mathematics series at UCD as well as passed the CBEST, CSET mathematics I and II. I also have been part of the MAST (Mathematics and Science Teaching) program at Davis. I earned my UC Davis Teaching Credential in June 2015. I am currently working on my Masters in Education at UC Davis.
Math and science are my favorite subjects and I always enjoy teaching them. In the MAST seminars I have had the privilege to help tutor a 3rd grade class, a 6th grade GATE (Gifted and Talented) class, and two 9th grade geometry classes. During the internship I was required to keep detailed logs of my tutoring experience as well as write and read case studies. Overall I feel that MAST has enhanced my tutoring capabilities and enriched my knowledge of teaching.I have tutored college, high school, middle school, and elementary students outside of MAST.
My teaching experiences have taught me how to adapt to the differences in teaching approaches from elementary to high school levels. I have experience teaching Integrated Math 1, Algebra IIXL, AP Statistics and regular Statistics at a high school. I have also helped students with Accounting 1.
I believe that one of the common problems that students have with math and science subjects is that they do not understand what the problems are even asking them. In addition, I have found that most students attempt problems without actually understanding the concepts and just memorize equations or the steps in order to complete the homework. I make sure that my students avoid these problematic practices. I also make sure that a student has learned the concepts by encouraging them to explain what they have learned back to me. A solid foundation for these math and science subjects is essential for pursuit in higher education or even everyday life.
I am easygoing, soft-natured, and in general, a sweet individual. I am open, friendly and I love interacting with students. I tutor at the student's pace and believe that communication is vital in a good tutor-student relationship. As my physics professor always says, "There are no stupid questions." All students should feel comfortable enough to feel that they can ask their questions, and I will try my best to answer them well.
I hope that you will consider me when looking for a tutor. If you would like to know more I can email you my resume. I look forward to helping you master your subject. Thank you very much for your time. Hi, my name is Noren and I graduated from the University of California at Davis (UCD), majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in music.

If you're interested in online lessons, message Noren to get started.
Noren does respond quickly with detailed stat explanations. I messaged her and she was able to help me right away.
Noren is a very organized, focused tutor. I appreciate her methodology of tutoring, she listened to our needs, made a assessment of the student, and then presented her plan of action to accomplish our goals. She continually kept me updated as to the progress and items that needed working on. Noren's follow through was exemplary.
I would not hesitate to utilize her tutoring skills anytime in the future due to her professionalism in my communication with her and feedback from my grandchild.
Noren is very smart, patient and makes math very relatable. Her kind, relaxed demeanor made the subject matter, pre-calculus, easier to understand. Her tutoring style, peppered with questions and repeat that back has helped my daughter retain information and made her very successful on her last math test. Although Noren fee is higher than others, in this case you get what you pay for. We received a great tutor and she is worth cent!
Noren goes the extra mile to make sure her students succeed. We really appreciate her! Her goal is for the student not to need her.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I started playing the clarinet in 5th grade. I am now a 3rd year college student and have also played in the UC Davis concert band. I took private lessons when I was in middle and high school. I have been in honor band and marching band all throughout middle and high school. I even participated in the pit band and extra band groups throughout high school. Whether you need help with sight reading, auditions, or tone, I can help. I have had over 10 years of experience and I have plenty of great practice books. I hope you consider me for clarinet lessons. Thank you.
I took a differentials equation course at UC Davis Spring of 2009. I got an A in the class and I understood the concepts and proofs. I didn't have that good of a teacher, so I mainly had to teach myself through my textbook and another one. I did not like the textbook and thought that class made differential equations more confusing than it should be. I feel that I could definitely teach this subject in a better and more understanding way. If you're looking for an A I'm the one that can help you achieve that.
As in my profile, I have participated in two quarters of Mathematics and Science Teaching at UC Davis. In these two quarters I have interned at elementary schools. I have had the wonderful opportunity of interning in a 3rd grade classroom and 6th grade gate mathematics classroom. When I was in this program, I interned 4 hours a week and I wrote weekly submissions on my experience as a tutor. I also worked one on one with students or did group tutoring (usually four kids or less). In total I have completed around 50 hours of recorded tutoring.
In addition to this experience I worked as an after school tutor in Cooper elementary school in Vacaville. There I helped kids from K-6th grade. I helped in math, English and writing. I have tutored others, off the record, in various K-6 subject matter. All in all, I have had plenty of experience tutoring elementary level students and have helped them better understand their subject material.

how to secure replacement casement window
We are replacing an old wood casement with a new vinyl casement window. This is in a bathroom remodel, so the room is empty down to the studs. When we ordered we were told that since this was replacement we wouldn't want a nailing flange. But now I can't figure out how to secure the thing. There are no pre-drilled holes in it and it says in the manual (it is a Crestline window) not to drill through the window or it voids the warranty. There is a mention of installation clips but I don't know if those apply to our situation? We asked at Menards where we bought it and they'd never heard of installation clips. When I remove the old window there is a wood frame (?) that it sits in or backs into (in other words I couldn't push it outside from the inside). Someone said we just apply caulk to that frame and hold the thing in place with the actual trim. Can that be right? The window itself isn't secured to anything?
Thanks for any advice.
Never heard of such a thing. I've always seen holes in the two sides of the frame with counter sinks. And the screws even come taped to the window.
Post a picture of the hole where it's going.
Installation clips are normally for a new construction install that is fin-less.
Post up a picture of the window.
here's what we have...
Okay, I'll have to figure out why my pics won't upload...they're on the desktop as jpg's but it keeps saying upload failed...I'll try to get them up.
I'm wondering now if we ordered the wrong window?? There are definitely no holes. We haven't removed the old window yet so maybe I'm wrong about the space. The old window has aluminum brickmould on the outside. It's not nailed or screwed to anything on the inside (in otherwords, I can see all around it from the inside and don't see any attachment to studs) so must be a nailing fin or external casing. I'm assuming I remove from the outside. ??
I've tried contacting the company 2x's by phone and once by email - waiting for a response...
We've done everything else on our own, I'd really like to figure this out without hiring outside too.
The instruction manual discusses how to install windows with a nailing fin, PVC casing trim or exterior casing (I assume this means factory installed) and our window has none of these. Since these are our 3 choices should we have ordered it with one of these for a replacement window? (we were told a fin was for new construction only) ??
Still can't get pics to upload. ??
update - using masonry clips
Just to update...I got a response from Crestline and they say that we should be using masonry clips. So we'll go that route.

Penparc cottage was constructed on the edge of Dinefwr Park between 1905 and 1911 and is built in a distinctive style. Originally it was two cottages with walls of snecked masonry of local stone and a hipped terracotta roof. The cottage offers fine views across the valley on one side and into Dinefwr Park on the other, with its interesting eighteenth-century designed landscape and excellent walks. Penparc has its own garden from which to enjoy these wonderful views.
Heating: Oil central heating included.
Parking: There is ample parking for 4 cars on the driveway.
Garden: Penparc has its own garden.
Please note: There is no child stairgate provided.
The cottage is approached over a hardcore track which is accessible with care.
One en-suite has limited headroom above the toilet due to the sloping ceiling.
Gate from garden to field is locked due to grazing animals, however there are many alternative walks from the property.
Parental supervision needed for young children as unfenced garden in front of the cottage has a drop to the lane below (approx 6 ft.).
Occasional aircraft noise from low flying military aircraft.
In November and December deer culling may take place on the property, please keep to the footpaths in the park if this is taking place.
South Wales is a land of sweeping green valleys, rugged mountains, woodland and forests and miles of coastal paths laced with heather.
The special places we look after in Pembrokeshire include the rugged landscape and views over to Ireland from St David's Peninsula, to the nature reserve at Stackpole where otters and dragonflies nestle amongst the water reeds. Then take in the views over the Bristol Channel to Lundy and Exmoor from sun-drenched Rhossili, the highest point on the Gower peninsula.
In North Wales, the dramatic mountain scenery of Snowdonia, with its rivers, waterfalls and the Nant Gwynant valley nestled amongst the mountains and hills, draws people back again and again, while the colourful beach huts at Llanbedrog beach and grey seal-spotting at Porthor Beach are just a few of the highlights of the very special Llyn Peninsula.
Situated about an hour north of Cardiff, this mountainous region is largely known for its spectacular natural landscapes. And it's true that the peaks of the Beacons and the Black Mountains have views to take your breath away. Climb Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, on a clear day and you'll be able to see as far as the Gower Peninsula to the west and across the lush Usk Valley to the English border to the east. But there's much more on offer than just walking: market towns such as Brecon and Llandeilo, the Trust's own Dolaucothi Gold mines and Dinefwr Park and Castle.
The house is beautiful and well appointed. When we arrived it sparked, everything was so beautifully clean, the furniture was well polished and the smell of the place was wonderful. The bed linen was clean and fresh and even the dinner service was beautiful and lovely to use. Also the fresh flowers were beautiful and a lovely touch.
The whole package suited us and gave us what we wanted--except for the weather, just find a way to stop it raining when required and we will always use your services!!
Lovely property in a lovely location. Very well equipped kitchen. Very helpful and friendly caretaker.
We loved looking round Newton House and being able to touch everything. We played the piano and sat in the drawing room; folded shirts in the basement; in the WWII hospital room some of us dressed up and we haven't laughed so much for a long time. We also enjoyed the behind the scenes tour of the house. The ruined castle was a bonus one evening as was a stroll around the grounds. There was so much more to see than just a nicely furnished house. I suggest you make more of the fact that things in the house can be touched and used and that there is a ruined castle too.
Complimentary access to national trust property was a real bonus & well enjoyed by us all. Comfortable environment & excellent location for car free break with great friends
We welcome your views on Penparc and these can be provided via our online survey.

stood the full-length portrait of a young man of
extraordinary personal beauty, and in front of it, some
little distance away, was sitting the artist himself, Basil
Hallward, whose sudden disappearance some years ago
caused, at the time, such public excitement, and gave rise
to so many strange conjectures.
As he looked at the gracious and comely form he had
so skilfully mirrored in his art, a smile of pleasure passed
across his face, and seemed about to linger there. But he
suddenly started up, and, closing his eyes, placed his
fingers upon the lids, as though he sought to imprison
within his brain some curious dream from which he feared
he might awake.
'It is your best work, Basil, the best thing you have
ever done,' said Lord Henry, languidly. 'You must
certainly send it next year to the Grosvenor. The
Academy is too large and too vulgar. The Grosvenor is the
only place.'
'I don't think I will send it anywhere,' he answered,
tossing his head back in that odd way that used to make

Postie Anamarie Ewins wants to deliver another sporting milestone for New Zealand and become the first woman to row solo across the Tasman.
The North Shore woman is planning her bid about the same time Australian Margaret Bowling and Kiwi transatlantic rower Tara Remington will team up to make their attempt.
Anamarie Ewins, 35, was inspired to make the solo crossing after New Zealander Shaun Quincey landed on 90 Mile Beach in March, ending his 54-day transtasman row.
She then learned Australian Margaret Bowling was already planning a Tasmania-to-New Zealand bid in January. "My first reaction was - 'oh no, I have to be first'," Ewins said.
Bowling has decided to row with a teammate, Kiwi trans-Atlantic rower Tara Remington, making it a huge task for Ewins to get across before them.
Ewins will launch from near Newcastle and plans to reach Taranaki. Bowling and Remington will row from Tasmania.
"I imagine it's going to be bloody hard," she said.
"It's scary but I think it's healthy to have a little bit of fear, otherwise you'll go out there expecting it to be all fine."
A former competitive rower, Ewins fits training and planning around her work as a postie on the North Shore.
The job keeps her fit and leaves afternoons free to focus on research, finding sponsors, and putting in hours on the gym rowing machine.
Ewins has also served with the New Zealand Army in East Timor, been a physical trainer instructor with the Air Force, and worked as a rowing coach.
Quincey, who is writing a book about his transtasman row, said he'd advised Ewins to start studying.
"She needs to learn absolutely everything about the Tasman Sea and about ocean rowing," he said.
"She needs to learn about boat design and currents and weather patterns and the history of ocean rowing, where people have failed and where they've succeeded."
Quincey was first to row solo from west to east, the opposite direction from his father, Colin Quincey, who was first to row the Tasman in 1977.
He is pulling for Ewins to beat her Australian rival, though his loyalties will be tested in September when he joins Bowling for a charity row from London to Paris (down the Thames, across the Channel and up the Seine).
Quincey said the Australian was planning a faster and riskier route than Ewins, from Tasmania to the Marlborough Sounds.
"It's bigger and more wild sea down there, but it moves towards New Zealand a bit faster."
Quincey said Ewins' 32-week preparation period would be tough, but said: "Hopefully she's unwavering enough to realise it doesn't really matter when you go, as long as you get there."

Norwegian writer Jo Nesbo, who arrives this month on an author tour, is nauseatingly versatile: at one time or other he's been an economist, a stockbroker, premier league footballer and a guitarist in a rock band. He's written three kids' books and his nine crime thrillers about Detective Harry Hole of the Oslo Crime Squad prompted the literary editor of The Independent to describe him as "the next Stieg Larsson" - a comparison the author, incidentally, dismisses as "corny".
Certainly this film version of one of his novels not in the Harry Hole series does not put you in mind of the Lisbeth Salander movies. It's a well-wrought thriller but it lacks the single-minded narrative thrust of those films and it is such a dizzying mash-up of style that it verges on pastiche. The fact that there is Tarantinoesque violence and a scene involving voluntary submersion in a long-drop dunny should warn you that an appetite for genre-bending is definitely called for.
The central character Roger Brown (Hennie) is a headhunter (in the recruitment sense) with a bad case of small-man insecurity not helped by the fact that his beautiful wife Diana (Lund) is long, leggy and widely lusted after.
His attempts to hold on to her include buying her a swanky art gallery and an even swankier house, which he finances by moonlighting in art theft - the way he selects his victims is both intriguing and super-smooth - but he's on the verge of bankruptcy.
When he becomes aware of a privately-owned Rubens he thinks he's found the opportunity for salvation but the painting's owner Clas Greve (Coster-Waldau), has eyes for Diana and Roger soon finds he's bitten off more than he can chew.
To be honest, the film's myriad plot twists - some of which brush plausibility aside - and abrupt changes of tone left me a little confused at times about what was going on. But that is rather the point. Certainly there's more style here than in a Scandinavian furniture store. It just may not be to all tastes.

text: I am in the middle of taking apart the engine so i can replace the intake gaskets. I have gotten as far as getting the upper intake off and now need to take the distributor out so I need to figure out how to find TDC. I have a Haynes repair manual ( gotta say this book is seriously lacking in some areas) it says to turn the crankshaft untill the line on the vibration damper is aligned with the zero mark on the timing plate and that the rotor will be pointing at the mark u make on the distributor under the #1 terminal in the cap. The problem I have is that there is not a Timing plate in my truck. I don't know why there isn't one, maybe cuz the timing can not be adjusted on the 96 and later?, or maybe a former owner took it off? My neighbor insists that if I mark it and take it out and put it back in with out anything being moved that it will be fine tho I don't know that he truly knows also I watch a you tube video of a guy how has the same engine change his intake gaskets, he didn't say if he put his engine at TDC or not, and he had trouble getting the distributor back in right so I'm not willing to risk it, I have a bad back and I don't want to have to tear this thing apart again just to mes with the distributor. Any Ideals?

BECAUSE I HAVE AN ULCER AND A COLD AND STRESS AND EXISTENTIAL CRISES AND... How about you?
Yeah, so my feeling is the ulcer realized I was enjoying my pudding and ice cream far too much and decided to royally screw me by throwing a cold my way. Do you know what I like to have when I'm sick? Orange juice. Do you know what I can't have due to my ulcer? Orange juice. Do you know what's been calming my aching belly through this ulcer? Dairy products. Guess what I can't have too much of when I'm sick? Well pudding and ice cream, of course! Do you know what really helps the constant headache that lovingly accompanies the common cold? Aspirin. And I think I can stop there.
Now, I know that FAR worse could have happened. I could have the awful flu strain that has plagued much of the country (Btw, any of you who do have it, I send you so many hugs. The flu is pure hell, and if there is anything I can do to help any of you through it, I will. Seriously, let me know.), and I am very grateful that I do not. I hope to continue to not have it. Please, powers that be, please. I already miss being pain-free. Please do not make me miss being mobile, too.
So, before all of this nonsense occurred, there was cake. Specifically, Christmas cake. Well, actually, there was nothing really Christmas-y about the actual cake, I just felt like waking up to it on Christmas morning, so..you know...Christmas cake!
By the way, three weeks too late, how was everyone's Christmas? Mine ruled. I got a ukulele! It's so perfect. I can't stop talking about it/playing it (Sorry neighbors. But not really sorry, because I'm kind of terrible.) Also, I made the most amazing fritatta. I am so proud of this thing. Want to see?
Ok, maybe I'm the only one who thinks this is amazing. Honestly I'm not feeling too wonderfully about myself these days, so hell, I'll take what I can get. And if what I can get is a pretty-damn-delicious fritatta and a lemon olive oil cake, I'll take both. And I'll have seconds. And thirds. Don't judge me.
Lemon Olive Oil Cake (makes one 9" round cake)
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
Powdered sugar for serving, optional
Preheat your oven to 350ºF, and butter and flour a 9" cake pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat together eggs and sugar on high speed, until pale and fluffy. With the mixer still on, pour olive oil and lemon juice into mixture, then turn off mixture and gently fold ingredients together using a rubber spatula.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and zest, then gently fold into batter until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Pour into pan and bake for 45 minutes.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar if you please.
I'm going to be honest with you: when this cake first came out of the oven, I "hmphed" at it and gave it the evil side-eye. It looked a little, well, drab. However, if you let it breathe for a bit (about an hour), you'll get this:
Need another look? Okay. You'll also get this:
Want to see again? How's this:
Um... gorgeous, right? I was pleasantly surprised. Boyfriend was in love with this thing. It really made an already lovely morning even lovelier. And honestly, as SOON as I'm all healed up, I am making this again. It was the perfect morning treat. It's not terribly sweet or heavy, so you won't feel disgusting first thing in the morning (at least not because of the cake. Sometimes I wake up a little gross, and eventually get down to acceptable by the end of day). Yum.
Oh, and by the way, I'm at sadshibow.com now! No more having to type in those pesky extra nine letters, fellow lazies! Woo-hoo for being mistress of my own domain!

BeschreibungCurie was not only the first woman to win a Nobel Prize she won it twice
PortraitSarah Dry won the Rona Jaffe prize for creative non-fiction at Harvard University and went on to study at the London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine and to do post-graduate research at the University of Cambridge.
PressestimmenAnother biography of Marie Curie would seem superfluous, but this one has some distinct advantages for readers seeking a short, intelligent, and accessible story of her life and her contributions to science. It also contains some interesting photographs helpful to the text and not readily available elsewhere. Using many quotations from letters written both by Marie Curie and her husband Pierre, Dry chronicles Curie's contributions to scientific thought as well as her private life and something of her political passion, all in a brisk but inviting text that invites the reader into the cultural context in which the Curies lived. Also included is an essay about Irene Joliot-Curie, their oldest daughter, who also received a Nobel Prize but suffered a period of neglect due to her political sympathies. The book's virtues are its scholarly scrupulousness combined with a graceful style, its substance despite its brevity, and a chronology of Curie's life and achievement paired with the larger cultural context, the works of contemporary thinkers, artists, and writers. Well-documented sources; suggestions for further reading that include both primary and secondary sources. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers; lower- and upper-division undergraduates.

Dallas Stars 0 vs Nashville Predators 2
The Nashville Predators shutout the Dallas Stars in the final regular season game at home. The Predators treat their fans in Fan Appreciation Night. Pekka Rinne played a great game and earned the shutout in his first game back from a virus.
The Nashville Predators will be playing in a 4 vs 5 match-up in the first round of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Dallas Stars will not be in the playoffs with the loss tonight. This is their fourth straight loss, and you can't do that in this time of the year.
Next Game: Predators @ Colorado Avalanche at 8 PM on FS-TN. A win would clinch 4th place and home-ice advantage in the first round.
The Cube is HOT, HOT, HOT!
Francis Bouillon, aka "The Cube", scored the first goal of the game, in the third period. Bouillon was crashing the net from the point and just tipped the puck home. That goal was his fourth of the year, but three of his goals have came in the last six games.
Bouillon had a chance, earlier in the game, to break the zero, zero score when he was going back-door on Kari Lehtonen. Kevin Klein passed to Bouillon, but his shot was stopped very well by Lehtonen.
25 Sellouts
The Nashville Predators end their sellout record, by going to 25. In 41 home games throughout the season, over half of them have been sellouts. Many have been close. But how fitting, on Fan Appreciation Night, the fans sellout the Bridgestone Arena to come and watch their Nashville Predators play their final home game, before the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
For many fans in Smashville, going to this game is important to them. For some, they can't afford expensive Playoff tickets because of the economy. And for others, they don't have time or wait too long to order their tickets.
Thursday night was fun for many of the fans. Ricky Staggs was on the Band Stage to perform during the first intermission, special giveaways and videos, and several lucky fans were able to get the Predators' jerseys after the game. That event is called "Shirts off the Back!", which is an awesome treat to the die-hard Predators fans.
Chet Pickard Sent Down to Milwaukee
Before going into Thursday night's game, Chet Pickard was assigned to the Milwaukee Admirals.With that transaction, it was a sure bet that Pekka Rinne was going to be in the line-up. Here is the Press Release.
Nashville, Tenn. (April 5, 2012) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that goaltender Chet Pickard (CHEHT PIH-kuhrd) has been assigned to Milwaukee (AHL). He joined the Predators on Tuesday after the completion of his season with the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones.

Jul 7, 2013 - By Eric Blom Staff WriterAn unusual sight appeared along Missouri Valley Road on June 29: two differently colored wind rowers working in the same field.
The red-and-yellow New Holland machine and green John Deere cut the 70 acres of waist-high alfalfa working side-by-side.
Gordon Medow owned the hay but not the wind rowers. They were out on his field because he told the dealers of both machines he was looking to buy a new machine.
Trevor Bekken of Brown Company brought out his New Holland machine and Dick McConnaughhey of Stotz Equipment arrived with the John Deere.
Medow said he was going to compare how each performed before he decided which one to buy. The farmer invited others from the valley to come over and watch.
Some observers thought he had ulterior motives, however.
"He just wants his hay knocked down," one farmer joked.
No matter how it came about, the opportunity afforded both machines a chance to show off and gave neighbors a reason to come together for a little fun.
"Friendly competition is good competition," Bekken said, smiling.
His younger brother, Brook Bekken, a field technician with Brown, drove the red-and-yellow machine, while Lance Hamilton, a Stotz field technician, operated the green. Both let Medow and son Mark Medow operate the wind rowers as well.
The specifications of both are similar. Each cuts a 16-foot-wide swath and leaves a long pile of hay behind it. The John Deere's engine produced 215 horsepower and the New Holland's put out 220.
From the operator's standpoint, they had mostly indistinguishable amenities. They both gave a smooth ride, made smoother by cushioned seats. Strong air conditioning in both kept the compartments a comfortable temperature much lower than the 95 degrees outside.
Radios and floor-to-ceiling windows in each machine added to the pleasurable ride. Both wind rowers also were ready for GPS systems, which can take over some driving duties from the operator.
"I'd sit in here all day," Brook Bekken said of his machine.
The major difference was one rower had an auger to move the cut plants from the blades to the conditioning part of the machine, and one did not.
Bekken said his machine is the only one still made with such a device. The auger helps spread the cut alfalfa evenly for drying. "The auger helps to get a better, more consistent conditioning," he said. "(The) drying time is quicker, getting your water on sooner to maximize that next crop."
But Hamilton says it's better not to have an auger. His machine uses a draper system.
"Once the hay's cut, it's never touched by steel again until conditioning, keeping the leaves on the stem," he said.
Medow said he was impressed by both machines.
"They're very comparable machines horsepower-wise," Gordon Medow said. "They're cutting clean."
A "clean cut" means the wind rower cuts the plants evenly across its swath, leaving little stubble behind and yielding the most product possible.
"The big difference is the John Deere got to the field first, but the New Holland brought lunch," Medow joked.
His son Mark saw it similarly.
"They're both good machines," he said. "They're both going to put the hay down nice."
By the end of the afternoon, Gordon Medow still had not decided which machine he preferred, but he did have his hay cut.
Over several hours, including frequent stops to let different observers ride along, the two top-of-the-line wind rowers cut all 70 acres, leaving the alfalfa in long, tidy rows to dry.

Exceeded my expectations 11/13/2008
This review is from: APEX DM-387 Black Steel Micro ATX Media Center / Slim HTPC Computer Case w/ ATX12V TFX 275W Power Supply
Sturdy, great ventilation, quiet. I love the fact it has a reset button (I get annoyed at computers without a reset button).
The only con I can think of is the door covering the front of the computer. The fit and finish of the door is very nice, but if you access the CD drive a lot like I do, the door just gets in the way. My solution was to simply remove the door. Installation of the components might take a little longer than usual because of the tight spaces, but that can be expected from a slim case.
Other Thoughts:
I needed to build a cheap computer for use at work. This case with its small size, included power supply, and great price was exactly what I needed. I was pleasantly surprised by this case! Despite being inexpensive, it was not cheap in quality. The metal is not thin and flimsy like I've seen on other cases. The computer is surprisingly quiet, it's probably the quietest computer in my office (there are 10 computers in my office). An Intel Core 2 Quad with the stock cooler fits in the case with room to spare. The included power supply provided enough power for my needs; Core2Quad, Intel DG31GL mobo, 2GB RAM, CD/DVD reader, and 80GB hard drive. I'm already considering another one of these cases for a computer for my dad.

Top New Zealand multisport athlete Richard Ussher is looking at a new focus this year after hard-fought win at the off-road Xterra race at Rotorua today.
The four-time Coast to Coast champion took line honours in the 1km swim, 29km mountain bike and 11km trail run event in two hours 17 minutes and 06 seconds.
In second place, just over a minute behind, was defending champion Scott Thorne (Hamilton), with Mark Leishman of Rotorua third.
"It was a really hard day at the office today, Scott pushed me the entire way, I am really pleased with the win," Ussher said.
He will turn his attention to the Xterra format, including racing in Europe in lead up to the world championships in Maui on October 23rd.
"It's a really good mix of racing for me with the off-road element but still the triathlon structure," Ussher said.
He has twice contested the world championships in Maui, finishing 11th and seventh after bad luck with gear failure and crashes.
"I want to go back and give it a better crack. I have really been working hard on my mountain biking, getting my technical skills up."
Today's win was Ussher's second at Rotorua, following a win in 2009.
It was a different story in the women's race with first-time triathlete, Karen Hanlen, upsetting the women's field with a come-from-behind win.
Hanlen (Whakatane) surprised even herself with the win, especially given her inexperience.
"That was my first ever triathlon and first ever open water swim, I was actually quite scared and only got through the swim because it was the only way of getting out of the water," she confessed.
Hanlen was a lot more comfortable on the ride, making up most of the three-minute deficit out of the water and coming off the bike in second place.
The threat of a trans-Tasman battle in the men's and women's race never came to fruition with both Australian representatives, Ben Allan and Melissa Vandewater ,finding the going tough on the mountain bike section.
Men: Richard Ussher (Nelson) 2hr 17min 06sec 1,

I am a Kentucky resident and my wife and I will be expecting our second child. I am legal to carry into the hospital? My question revolves about my ignorance of the following stipulation in the KY law:
Does anyone know what facilities fall under this?Quote:
a health-care facility licensed under KRS Chapter 216B
My second question revolves around a possible family vacation to Hilton Head, SC. I notice the following stipulation:
If we have rented a vacation home, do we need written permission from the owners or rental agency to carry?Quote:
SECTION 23-31-225. Carrying concealed weapons into residences or dwellings.
No person who holds a permit issued pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 31, Title 23 may carry a concealable weapon into the residence or dwelling place of another person without the express permission of the owner or person in legal control or possession, as appropriate. A person who violates this provision is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not less than one thousand dollars or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both, at the discretion of the court and have his permit revoked for five years.
Thank you,
