People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully.Steve Jobs

Don't make me think!Steve Krug
After 15 years working in technology, first in tech support and systems administration, then software engineering, and now product management, I still get excited about using technology to solve a problem for someone.
Boring, repetitive work task?
Error-prone process?
Great product idea?
Let me at it!
My role as a technical product manager usually includes:
I have repeatedly taken nascent ideas and delivered saleable products and services, often filling multiple roles in addition to product manager (including engineer, database admin, copywriter, front-end developer, and UX/UI designer). I enjoy working on larger cross-functional teams, and while I'm not afraid to jump in and do what's necessary to deliver a great product, I am particularly strong in these areas:
I believe problem-solving is ultimately about knowing how to ask the right questions. Whether the challenge is a purely technical one requiring troubleshooting or is a broader, systemic issue, I love to dig in and ask the questions that provide clarity and lead to a solution. In addition to strong troubleshooting skills, I have a record of engineering innovative products, systems, and services that address user and business needs.
Clarity and precision are my highest priorities when I am writing in the course of my work, whether for product documentation, user stories and requirements, or routine communication with co-workers and clients. I have a background in science writing—explaining complex technical subjects to a lay audience—and enjoy applying those skills to creating documentation and training materials.
Early in my career, much of my day-to-day work involved helping people use computers, providing a front-row seat to the many ways software can fail its users. I developed an intense interest in usability, and as a result, I am always thinking about how choices made in interface design, system architecture, and functionality will affect the experience of using the products I build.
I created this landing page in 2013 for a friend's career coaching business. Starting with the One Page Wonder Bootstrap template, I tracked down appropriate images with Creative Commons licenses, selected fonts, and modified HTML and CSS files to build out the page.
In 1999, I was tasked with developing a system to automate the process of publishing lecture video to course web sites. Video on the web was a relatively new concept...this was six years before YouTube! Our sole video sources were VHS tape and an analog signal sent to a control room. The solution I developed used inexpensive hardware and a combination of off-the-shelf software and custom scripts which enabled automated transcoding and publication of video to course web sites. Presented at an EDUCAUSE conference in 2001.
In my position at MediRegs (acquired by Wolters Kluwer Law & Business in 2007), I designed and developed a number of coding tools and calculators from 2005-2012. These tools became integral components of our Coding Suites and Compliance & Regulation Suite.
For the most part, these tools required that results screens convey a complex combination of related quantitative and qualitative data. I was strongly influenced by Edward Tufte's approach in designing screens which had high information density but were easy for users to parse and understand. Our products were often competing against much larger, more established players in the industry, but our unique approach to design, combining simplicity of interaction with rich content and presentation, often made these the products end-users campaigned to buy.
This is just a little April Fools' Day fun I created with a brilliant friend/co-worker in 2013. In the style of our company's marketing sheets, we worked up a new product (that actually would have fit quite well into our suite of compliance products) and sent it out to co-workers on April 1. All content on this is original. View as PDF
In my position in the Instructional Computing Group (now the Academic Technology Group) at Harvard University, I designed and developed the Q&A Tool in 2000. This web-based application was used for online surveys, quizzes, and assignments. A variety of question types were permitted: Multiple-choice, Fill-in-the-Blank, Ranking, Essay, and True/False. With the exception of the Essay and Ranking question types, an instructor could opt to have questions automatically graded.
The Q&A Tool was a part of the Instructor's Toolkit, an early learning management system developed by ICG which enabled teaching staff at Harvard to manage their course web sites, access enrollment and student information, and publish lecture videos (among other things).
Not to get all cloak-and-dagger about it, but much of my work in the last 10 years has been on proprietary systems and applications. To protect my employers' (past and present) commercial interests, I'm not willing to put information about these projects on the Internet, but I am willing to talk about some aspects in person. After I've swept the room for bugs.
I discovered a fun hobby about 18 months ago when I started learning techniques for decorating sugar cookies with royal icing. It's a very Zen activity for me; I can do it for hours without noticing time passing. The best part is that there is no harm in experimenting: someone is always willing to eat the mistakes. I occasionally post photos of my latest efforts on Instagram.
Sometimes I like to step into the real world and make physical stuff. While my son was at camp, I spent about $100 on supplies and gave his room a Minecraft theme. Supplies: Color laser printer (okay, I already had this), spray adhesive, inexpensive hardboard from Menards, clear contact paper, white electrical tape (for detailing windows), $10 window panel from Target (for box valance). A red comforter ($12 on clearance), foam board cloud, and a few accessories from ThinkGeek finished things off.

I have no idea what your area is like but here things are very competitive when it comes to land with one trying to outbid the other. Never a bad idea as long as the ground is mostly flat, well drained, and no native indian groups have a land claim on it.

It would probably be cheaper to hire the work done and sell the hay. Around here we can get a crop cut, raked and baled for $16.50 per roll.
Years ago when we first planted hay it was easier and cheaper for us to hire the baling. We focused on selling and other farming areas.
That said, I am a big proponent of being self sufficient. I like to grow my own hay, raise my replacement heifers and do everything I can on my own. Not saying I am right, just my mindset.
Is the property farm land?
Would you need to plant hay or is it already established?
Do you live close to the property? Would equipment be secure if left unattended?
Is there a lot of hay available in your area? I ask to see what the market would be.
It is a pretty big decision to start from scratch. Land and equipment are not cheap, even when purchased separately.

As far as getting into hay, I would suggest finding someone willing to cut/bale on shares. Usually, this means you pay for fertilizing/spraying and the other person cuts/bales with each of you taking half.
Disadvantages are that you are not going to make much (if any) money on the proposition and you are at the mercy of the other person's schedule.
Advantages are that you get to learn the hay business from someone with experience and you also get to learn the hay market without a large expenditure in equipment. Later on, if the numbers work, you can start investing in equipment.
Good luck to you...

hunter85, I'm in the same boat as you. ~40 acres and trying to find buyers for the hay. I'm part way done buying equipment and looking for barn space to store rectangular bales!!!
Challenging, but something I've always wanted to do.
Succeed or fail, I'll be able to look back and say "I gave it a shot".
Me, too. I inherited 67 acres from my parents. Had a tractor & disc, and decided to plant a 10 acre field in hermothia. Got it planted, couple years having to hire it cut & baled. Couple years ago planted another app. 15 acres. Trying to work my way up, last Feb. I found a disc-bine, baler, & rake @ a what sounded like a good price. I've put couple thousand $$ & some time in them, but just finished pulling the first crop in from the hay field today. It's a real nice feeling to look at it and say "I did it all myself"!!
Best of luck with it.

Best advice I saw in the post was to not jump into a bunch of high priced equipment. Look around (craigslist, tractorhouse.com, e-bay) and find some decent used stuff. With just 30 or 40 acres you probably don't need a 15' SP discbine and a $100k tractor. Remember you have to learn to crawl before you can run.
If you got a strong market nearby, learn the market and what is being offered. Hay is a commodity. Lots of people sell it. Figure out what will set you apart/differentiate you from the other 12 guys around you selling hay? In my area, a lot of the hay is surplus hay that cattle farmers sell off. I make hay exclusively to sell. I set myself apart with storage/delivery options, quality product, and good customer service. You'd be amazed at the stories customers tell me how their previous hay supplier acted like the customer was bothering them!

Well what I would do is let someone cut and bale it and you just list the hay for sale and sell it. Kind of like a hay broker and you have no equipment investment. I did that one year and made good money, but I just went a bought some equipment to do it myself.
That's what I did the first few years. Problem I had, the man that did the best job, also cost the most, and then I could never get in touch with him. Or he would not call me back. Next man couldn't get here when I needed him. (Yea, I understand the bigger customers come first, it's a $$$$ thing.) The last man I had to bale for me, the bales are not tight, some real 'lop-sided', and most the end wraps of string is so close to end of the bale it slides right off, leaving the end of the bale un-tied and a bunch of string hanging off. BUT, this man was here when I needed him. He came in last Sept when my baler wouldn't make a good bale and rain was getting close, and I felt only charged real reasonable.
Last year I found some worn-out equipment for a low price, put about $1700 in repairs, (yep, that's just parts, no telling how many hours of me 'playing' with it & changing parts) and baled when I felt conditions were right. If/when I get this years crop sold, the equipment will owe me very little, esp if I count the experience I have gained.
Search tempest can be your friend. Take time to look & shop, learn the value of different equipment, be ready to buy when a great deal comes along, but don't pay more than it's worth just because it's here right now.
Posted 16 March 2012 - 06:51 PM
A tractor will be your biggest investment and even if you do not get into haying, you will still need a way to maintain the land. A tractor and bushhog probably should be your first purchase.

I just graduated, started college but I'd rather be baling, growing watermelons and harvesting pecans than sitting in school! hahah
Think real hard about this!!! Graduated in 2009 with nothing to start off haying with. Now its 2012 and im haying roughly 120 acres and running 25 head of cattle. Plus working 1300 acres row crops with my old man. Had no life since graduation but this is what ive always wanted to do. I LOVE IT!!! But its def. not for everybody.

This is your typical urban RV park: close sites, parking-lot style, with about half full-timers. The facilities are fine and (very) close to shopping. All that is tolerable because one does not come to places like this for the ambience; one comes into places like this when I need to get business accomplished. So one of the things I look for is WiFi. They advertise this, take your money, even give you a password. But the signal is nonexistent--not strong enough to hold onto. When I asked for another site that had better reception, I was told the signal and equipment were iffy. When asked for a refund, so I could leave and go to a park that had signal, I was refused.

Park has quite a few long term residents but their rigs are well kept and do not detract from the overall environment. When approaching the park on Carson St you must enter from the southbound lanes as there is an island in the road. The park is close to any kind of service or store that you might need. - DennisA

We had decided to stay in Carson City for 3 to 4 nights to enjoy the museums and see what the capital of Nevada was about. From pulling into the park, the office is in front of you and have to make a U-turn to get to your spot. There appears to be alot of long term RV'ers here with one side looking run down and trash all over the place. Luckily the woman in the office (very rude talking about other customers and cussing excessively) put us on the other side or we would have left. They use paper and no computer system, so after navigating some tight turns and roads, we found our spot, setup and settled in. Unfortunately we had to put up a deposit for the shower/restroom key and to my wife's dismay, key worked in BOTH the mens and women doors so she choose to use the RV shower instead. Restrooms were out of toilet paper in the women's side (this was just after 12pm, we told the lady in the office and she had an attitude about it and told a kid standing in the office to put toilet paper in the women's restroom). There is also a deposit required to use the cable ($75), luckily we had satellite of our own and chose to use ours. We ended up leaving early after some shady characters were driving around trying to steal things from around peoples rigs, going up and down each row every night after dark. We will never return, we need to feel safe but we definitely didn't at this park. - sunfriek

I thought the place was overpriced for the ease of camping there. The park is older which is not a concern to me except that there is a very limited amount of space to navigate vehicles into. We have a 20' trailer and our space was very tight. It was a lot of back and forth to get the rig properly situated. There was no avoiding putting our truck into another person's space during the parking process.
The people were pleasant in the front office. The requirement to put a deposit on a bathroom key is outdated. A code system for the restrooms would be so much easier for all concerned. To get our deposit back, we had to leave after the office was open. Again not a huge issue but more of an inconvience.
I just think that the price of the facility did not match the amenaties. - arteacher

Made reservation in Feb. 2016 for a pull-through full hook-up including 50 amp service. Was led to site 16. Plugged into 4 prong connector in the box and flipped the breakers on. To my surprise I only had 30 amp service. The owner came down and ask if my a/c was working. I responded that only 1 would work on 30 amp.Said if I wasn't happy I could get a refund and LEAVE. It was the 4th of July weekend and I ask him where I could go. His response "that's not my problem". On his park map, sites that shows 50 amp svc at 17 sites but those with true 50 amp svc on both legs are only 7. If you stay here and need true 50 amp make sure you get sites 35-41 or you are SOL. Also the traffic noise from hwy 395 is relentless 24/7 regardless where you are parked. - dls46

My rating of 4 is generous. The only plus is that the staff is friendly and helpful
Electricity is so poor our booster was on almost all the time; our site was narrow and not level; the pedestal is at the back so we had to use a 20' sewer hose, and the noise from highway 395 is very noticeable.
We definitely would not stay again. - RaySc

Love this dry campground. Sites are well spaced so you can't look into your neighbors windows and most are very level. Quiet a number of pull thru sites but back ins are wide and easy to use. We stayed two days and pretty much had the place to ourselves although nights it filled up with travelers. Jack rabbits were our main neighbor. The dump was flooded so it was closed and didn't appear that it would open soon, so if that is an issue you might want to call ahead to ask. Bathrooms were clean, well stocked and showers were wonderful and hot. Water available. We plan to go back soon. - RoyandLynne

Sites are level and most are large with some being pull through. Sites have a nice size canopy over the patio. Be aware that this area is very dry (lake is dried up) and can be sandy when the wind blows. Views are fantastic especially at sunset. - illini777
Sep 2015 - $17.00
We chose this park to test out our solar system and really liked it. The lake was completely dry, but the campground is quite pretty. There are very few trees, so not much shade or privacy, but we selected a spot that had a nice view and didn't directly face a neighbor.
There are no hookups here, so come prepared. Access to the park is easy, even for bigger rigs. The first loop seems a little newer and more suitable for larger rigs. The bathrooms and showers are clean and private. You are far from a major highway, so it's pretty quiet at night. Our only complaint was that the winds blew so hard the entire time we were there that we couldn't sit outside for long. The winds died down the day we left. I guess the area is known for their wind, so just be aware.
We had a very strong AT&T LTE signal, I didn't try Verizon.
We really enjoyed this park and hope to return when we can enjoy being outside. - Uno Mas

Nice campground, well maintained. Sites are not level. Clean bathrooms, flush toilets, one pay shower. Lots of shade beneath tall pines. Nice hiking trail. Peaceful. Several pull-thru sites for longer trailers. No utilities, fresh water spigots spaced around. Dump station is $5 extra. Fire pit and picnic table at each site. Paved interior roads a little narrow with trees, we had no trouble with our 30' travel trailer, but we were careful. - trussman

This county campground is nicely shaded by big ponderosa pines which is a welcome relief in 90 degree heat. Paved road and pull through sites, but very tight for big rigs. Well spaced sites. Most are not level but come with fire ring and table. It overlooks the valley and the newly opened freeway. Wind in the trees drown out most of the freeway noise. Take the Davis Creek exit off 395. You must pay an extra $1 per pet per night. Pay showers are very clean. No hookups. Dump for extra $5. Convenient to both Reno and Carson City. - Thunderboldt

Generally, for a County RV park, this is quite nice. Lots of trees, shade and clean facilities. Given its proximity to Reno, during the weekends, you get a bunch of locals that bring their contractor style generators. Much better during the week. Only a handful of sites are easy access for larger units. It is a challenge to get your unit level. Having been there in the past, it was much nicer for $11 than the $15+, add $ for each pet and $ for an extra vehicle, you might was well go somewhere else with full hookups. Not recommended for large trailers or motor homes. Good family type campground. - nvdesertrat

This park is convenient to town Carson City, Virginia City and surrounding areas. The food is reasonably priced and not bad for casino food. But the campground is very tight if you have a big rig over 38 feet. You could have problems leaving when you want to leave. We had to zigzag through the dump station area and I don't think I would've made it out without clipping the guy next to me's pick up truck for his fifth wheel. Another thing that gripes me about these parks is their sprinklers are set so that the water sprays your motorhome and is so hard it will permanently stain your motorhome if you don't get on it real quick and get it taken care of. Overall I will probably stay here again if the weather is hot. If the weather is cool in the fall or early winter I will probably boondock somewhere in passing through. - monaco cruiser

This park is a glorified parking lot. Site was level with grass and picnic table between each site. Sites are so close you can't put out your awning. Restrooms are clean with hot water. To use the pool, you must go to the other side of the complex and use the hotel pool. Maintenance staff friendly and helpful (we had an electrical issue) but the check-in staff was not. To get a physical receipt, you must go to the front desk to ckeck out. They also all a $50 hold to your credit card for incidentals (what incidentals will I have at this RV park??) - Ms Winnie
Jul 2016 - $27.00
Convenient location & reasonable price. Bad layout, interior roads tight & folks still park halfway into the roads. The dump station is tucked in a bit tight. They water the sites 2x per day a couple days a week, which makes you pack up each time or get all your chairs/tables/bbq's/etc. soaked. Your rig gets sprayed too, water quality leaves spots all over. Men's bath/shower had paper all over floor, stained shower curtains, not cleaned the 4 days we were there. - rvrrat520

Sites have adequate space between. Not much in the way of landscaping. If you like rock this is your place. Minimal trees so satellite service is easy. Hookups are at the extreem rear of site/coach. Electric and water are easily hooked up but you may need an EXTRA long sewer hose. Our standard hose is 20' and we had to purchase an additional 10' extension. Word of caution. If you have a hydraulic leveling system, make sure your jacks will hit the concrete. It is possible to deploy jacks and have them land on half the concrete pad and the rocks. This can bend and damage the landing pads. Wifi, although present, is lousy. Better off using hotspot on phone. Verizon 4G service good. We did not use the laundry or the bathhouse so no input. Staff is courteous and helpful. Propane, gas and diesel available on site. Prices are competitive with most lower cost stations around. Overall it's an OK place. Just not much in the way of appearance. - Martini Chuck

Check in was quick and efficient. They guide you to your site which is nice enough but not necessary. The sites are narrow with cracked concrete pads for the tires. It's a bit of a challenge to get situated properly. Our 45 foot motorhome fit in our site but just barely. There is a pad adjacent to the site for the tow vehicle. It's a rather utilitarian park with many long term renters. We were able to get Directv and Verizon cell coverage. The WII FI didn't work at all. Be prepared for constant noise from 395. Great place for shopping - all the big box stores are in the area. - Free
Sep 2016 - $40.00
It's not bad or horrible, but it is little more than a glorified parking lot with gravel yards that are uncomfortable to walk on and barely adequate pads to park your RV on. The pads aren't "pads" at all in the normal sense - they only cemented the tire tracks and left the center portion open, which they filled with the same gravel I mentioned earlier. That would be fine, I suppose, except that the "tire pads" are so far apart that the feet for my front jacks straddle the inside edge of the cement by exactly half - enough to have done some real damage if I hadn't noticed and put the full weight of the rig on them.
The noise from Hwy 395 is quite loud and there are a ton of full-timers who clearly have more important things to do than maintain their spaces. There is zero aesthetic appeal to any part of this "resort" - it's really just a flat place to park your RV.
At $40 a night with ZERO refunds for any reason, I expect a little more for my money. - Wryly Blithe

This is a small, clean park. Very friendly, helpful manager. The park is easy in/out from Hwy 50. Paved roads and concrete pads, no grass but have artificial turf and sand. Sites are very close. Utilities are fine. Fenced in dog park all sand. Walked our dog across the street at local Casino that has grass. We stayed 2 nights to visit Virginia City which is about 8 miles away. We stayed here in a 43' motorhome on site #30 which is a double front to front facing site right at the entrance. We had the site all to ourselves which made easy pulling and exit. We would consider staying here again if in the area. - RTM

This is a great RV park but just not our style. The hosts are very pleasant and helpful, the grounds are in immaculate shape and the showers & laundry facilities are super clean.
Two trees at our site had branches that needed trimming back. After guiding us to our site, the host immediately came back with loppers and trimmed the branches. One day, the shower hot water was out. The host immediately went over and found the wind had blown out the water heater pilot light. Hot water was restored within 15 minutes.
The only downsides for us is that the sites are very close and tight. We could almost "pass the Grey Poupon" between the rigs next to us. Also, about 80% of the park is permanents or semi-permanents. All the rigs are in good condition and there aren't any eyesores but we're not fans of such parks. - LMandTinView

Price is based on weekly stay (50 amp). This place is a little gem. Grounds are immaculate. Interior roadways are almost new asphalt, sites are level cement. No grass, astro turf is used. Picnic table at every site. Individual sites are a little close to each other. Really nice owners. Owner takes you to your site. Electric was fine. Good water pressure. Elevation is approx 4,500 ft. Owners have a added a nice patio area with tables, awnings, and chairs and two large gas BBQs. I will be back. One negative - Very little shade. - GoPackGo

We stayed one night but arrived about 10:00 AM before actual check-in time. The staff was wonderful about checking to see what sites were available and getting us into one right away. We did not use the facilities as we had our own, but I would DEFINITELY have no qualms about staying here again! Even if there was more than one campground in town..... - PaulaG

Well first off, remember this is the only RV park in Virginia City. SO if you are going, this is it. On arrival we found another trailer in our reserved spot. RV Park people wanted to move us. The sites are not all the same, and some are very difficult to get into and to level on. So we held out for our reserved site. We had to plug into another site while the other people moved out 6 hours later. - Gtwood65

This is a nice little RV park. The price is reasonable compared to hotel rates here. Most of the spaces are not quite level so bring blocks or jacks. The shower facility is way better than I expected. It has a code on the main door and there are 4 individual bathrooms with shower, bench, sink, and toilet. My space had 20/30 amp hookup. The sewer hookup requires your hose end to screw into the opening. There was a cable TV connection but I didn't use it to rate it. The little store has a good selection of basics and is reasonably priced. - KofNV

Very nice, quiet, small campground on Casino property. Easy registration at kiosk. I am a seasoned RVer and I tried and tried but I could not get my 29ft fifth wheel into my assigned spot (#4), which is strange because when making reservations they asked me what size my RV was, they should have known it would not fit, but this may have been due to my tow vehicle being a long bed crewcab Ford F250. They allowed me to change spots to a pull through which was very nice, but charged me extra. Maneuvering your RV can be very challenging at this park. I was concerned that I would not be able to get out of my pull through spot (#53) because my neighbors truck was parked too close to me. Leaving at 5 am I ended up backing into the empty spot behind me to get out. If all the camp spots were full I would not have been able to pull out without asking someone to move, ugh. - Happy Camper 54
Aug 2016 - $44.00
Sites are close together. Had to disconnect from our 29ft fifth wheel to fit in the space. Registration is at the front desk of the casino. Has a store with fuel onsite as well as the casino. - Marshnik
Aug 2016 - $44.00
Very nice smaller campground next to the casino. Doggy friendly, allowing small pens and plenty of shade and grass. Nice area to park while you wait for space available. You pull up to the kiosk and call into the main lobby for site number. Very nice and friendly. Restrooms and laundry are very clean and nice.
The park is small and a bit tight to navigate, but is doable. Recommend unhitching a tow car. Pull thrus look a bit short for longer motorhomes (>34ft) or fifth wheels. We would definitely stay again. - ButterflyDogs

This park wins the location award of those in the Lake Tahoe area. After touring some of the other local parks, this one seemed to offer the best of everything. Yes. The sights seem rather close together. Our site 159 is a pull through which seemed to offer more space between sites than many of the others. Bathrooms and showers were clean, maybe a bit dated, but nice. Park is located on HWY 50, a rather busy street, with a traffic light provided for safe crossing to the beach. We enjoyed our stay. Would probably stay again. - R&M
Aug 2016 - $67.00
Check in was horrendous. Monday afternoon and RVS were backed up to the highway. When I got inside the office there were 7 people in front of me. There was only one clerk and he was doing a fine job with 4 days of experience. The first site that I was assigned had a vehicle parked in it. I went back to the office and luckily got another site. The park was recently taken over by Aramark and obviously needs some organization and training. Lots of highway noise as well. There are NO flat, straight areas to disconnect the toad. Signage to the RV resort said "turn left", when in fact the RV resort was on the right. I was told by a camp host that they've been trying to get the sign changed for years. - User3492
Apr 2016 - $42.00
The campground is across the road from the rest of the resort. We walked the entire campground for exercise after a long drive. The grounds are pretty but the sites are very close together with little to zero privacy. Most of the tent sites are right on top of each other. The restrooms and showers each are individual rooms. The restrooms are very basic. The showers are in serious need of updating. They have concrete floors, some wall damage and old defunct coin machines. The resort does have a lake front beach and is located in a beautiful location. It was very pleasant walking the campground, there is a light so it is easy to cross the highway to get to the main part of the resort and the lake. We had a nice breakfast in the resort restaurant. - 2togoNebraska

'Yamauchi Calls for More British Marathon Runners'

I'm debuting next year but even as a bloke I'm going to be struggling to be faster than Mara... maybe 2020 is more realistic...
In all seriousness though we have Paula who when fit is the best in the world. Mara who is arguably top ten and then Commonwealth bronze medallist Liz Yelling. It's not a bad group with Hailey Haining and others not far behind... Actually I think possibly more depth than the US though obv. Flanagan would be better than all ours but Paula and maybe Mara...

Hey Central!.
This is a carry over from saablink just going to be more organized.
Purchased this car from a lady, with 207k rust fenders and no ebrake but a good history
first things first i found 2 fenders and painted em.
put them on i was happy with the outcome
I purchased the 3" Dp from Gs Deleted the cat and mid muffler for a full 3" exhaust sound clip?
Next i sourced Some intrax spring thru craigslist they were in chicago im in ny, but most sabbers are trust worthy so i sent him some cash and crossed my fingers
and they came!
put those on with some borbet type a's purchased from zach9000
Then it was down to business performance i want to push somewhere around 350-400whp and i began to find rush at the same time rear strut towers and some various places, i was going to do the rust first my body man told me it not that bad i could wait
heres one what do you think?
any way i started to do performance, had a spare head from a 96 cse block that threw a rod, i sent it to the machine shop it was rebuilt all new valves stem seals machines reground the whole 9, sourced a holset hy35 with a spacer and older 9k t3 manifold i was really lucky picked it up for 250
put that on the back burner for a while and started to do fuel pump walboro 255
of course this happens......
thanks to ray i got the pump fitting i just purchased some 5/16 fuel line fuel clamps and "patched" the line doesnt leak works fine bad pic tho
next was the front mount
became a ***** to do the charge pipe i got it custom made with a hks bov welded in
thats me, lol now after all this and the mike D tune the car felt MUCH faster very quick but somewhere between people trying to steal my wheels and more needforspeed i put the holset on the front burner.
so i pulled the head to put on the rebuilt, new gaskets and ish! and oops
which is were i am now!
i order the exhaust and tensioner side guide, the lower guide crank/oilpump seal water pump gasket, chain tensioner washer
now i ask is there anything else i should change? i plan to use the other chain i have with 120k on it i sent it to the rebuild shop with the head the man said it was in excellent condition!. anything i should look out for?, change? also what is the chain tensioner spec i heard something about it but i can't find it. thanks in advance

Not generally a fan of anything rose scented or sweet...especially in fragrance - this however was one of the best scents I have come across in a long time...I'm obsessed with it and love that the formula is more concentrated as a little goes a long way and tends to last all day- its really unique and something that definitely stands out from the crowd5

'I'm staying', says Jana
Jana Pittman says she loves Australia and couldn't leave after her record-breaking 400 metres hurdles victory last night.
"I am staying in Australia, I love this place," the gold medallist told Channel Nine this morning.
Newspaper reports in the run up to the Games had suggested Pittman was tired of the local media pressure and was considering a permanent move to England.
But the new Games record holder said she had been misquoted by "certain people".
"I didn't want to come out and defend myself, I just wanted to let my feet do the talking. So if something was said I sort of tried to keep away from it rather than saying 'no no no that's not the case'."
Pittman said she and her fiance, Englishman Chris Rawlinson, who came last in the men's 400m hurdles final last night, will continue splitting their time between Australia and England.
"We basically do time here and time there but I have two huge dogs and they aren't going to be liking the trip very often so we will have to stay here," she said.
Pittman also paid tribute to the sell-out MCG crowd, saying the support of 83,000 spectators helped her over the line.
"It really felt like they sort of lifted you over every hurdle and I don't think, no matter what went wrong or what happened in that race, there was no way I was going to be able to contain myself. It was fantastic".
She refused to talk about the epidural she reportedly had the week before the Games started but praised medical staff who helped her get through to the final.
"I don't want to dwell on the negatives, I obviously got to the race and the medical staff did a great job so that's all I would like sort of to comment," she said.

GHGroup necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
SurveyPress is a new kind of survey, one that isn't boring and doesn't suck like all the other kinds of surveys. We need a logo that will define the brand.
Anyone who needs to survey some quickly, and anyone who's great at making surveys.
A logo that's simple and easy to read.
SurveyPress logo should be similar to 99 designs where one part is hand sketched canvas. Simple, easy to read, and depicts a NEW type of survey.
Another logo to look at is YouTube.
Both 99Designs and YouTube depict a canvas.
A SurveyPress survey is on a notecard, try to depict that in the logo.
I also need a very small version of the logo to put on the bottom of a survey.

Wake Up Early: 4 Steps
Try to give yourself something to look forward to each morning, even something small like high-quality coffee or fresh bagels. A little treat to start the day mixed with a solid morning routine can make all the difference in your temperament. Whether you're establishing a habit of waking up early or just getting up to catch an early flight, these four easy will make your life easier.
1- Go to bed earlyThis seems brain-dead obvious if you're wanting to wake up early, but too many people put off going to bed, thinking: "Well, I'll be tired tomorrow either way." Getting six to eight hours of solid, uninterrupted sleep makes all the difference when getting up early and staying focused through the day.
Many guys will make the excuse that they can't go to bed until after midnight. You can — you just have to start the process early. One thing that will help you hit the racks is getting off your computer at least an hour before going to bed. Also, don't watch TV right before going to sleep, especially the news. Let your brain have time to wind down. Read a book or write in a journal.
2- Drink waterDon't go crazy and down eight glasses right before crawling in bed, otherwise you'll be up in two hours. The point is to drink a couple glasses of water, so you'll be hydrated throughout the night and in the morning. Dehydration will cause you to feel sluggish and only make it that much harder to wake up early.
Also, avoid caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine for obvious reasons, it's a stimulant, and while alcohol is a sedative, it commonly leads to restless sleep. Eating before bed doesn't bother some, but for others it can cause heartburn and bad dreams. Use discretion with food, but definitely stay away from late-night spicy dishes.
Find out AM's two other tips for waking up early after the break…

Natural gas line hit, Tejon Street closed
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A portion of Tejon Street was closed and some businesses were evacuated after a natural gas line was hit Wednesday (10/2/13).
The line that was hit is located at 717 N. Tejon Street in downtown Colorado Springs.
The supply of natural gas to the line has been cut off, and work is underway to repair the damage.
Tejon Street is closed between Dale Street and Monument Street. It is expected to open around 3 p.m.
Three businesses were evacuated as a precaution. Those evacuations have now been lifted.
KRDO NewsChannel 13's Rana Novini reports that a contractor accidentally hit the line.

Re: st: Equality of two multinomial distributions under complex survey designs
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:32:18 -0400
Suppose you make an indicator for which survey data is drawn from,
then use it to construct superstratum identifiers that are unique
across the two surveys and redefine weights so they each sum to the
same population size, then tab industry versus the indicator, like so:
webuse nhanes2f, clear
tempfile file1
save `file1'
webuse nhanes2, clear
g supstr=200+strat
g svy=2
append using `file1'
replace svy=1 if mi(svy)
replace supstr=100+stratid if mi(supstr)
egen pop=sum(finalw), by(svy)
g wt=finalw/pop
g suppsu=svy*100+psu
replace suppsu=svy*100+psuid if mi(suppsu)
svyset suppsu [pw=wt], strat(supstr)
svy: tab region svy
and interpret the F test as a test of equality of distribution across
svy. This may or may not be defensible on theoretical grounds--with
any luck, others will comment.

mikester replied to LindaT's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubBuy a new locking mechanism if the above fails, was only around £30 when I bought mine a year or so back as my alarm kept going off and saying the bonnet was open. Piece of cake to fit as well. I've got a thread about it on here somewhere, would have come up in the search.

should have added, HIDs in reflectors are a big no no, look cheap and scatter light everywhere. we have projectors so not a problem for us :)
my £15 Chinese 5300k still going good after 3 years, passed its mot for the second time with them fitted today. No-one flashes me ever, they make the car look more posh as you instantly know they're xenons. would recommend

mikester replied to mikester's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubNot buying into this supermarket fuel excuse, I've filled up at the same station for all my years of driving, I've occasionally used Shell and BP but the small increase in economy did not make up for the £4-7 more per tank it'd cost to fill. So now I find myself asking the same question again as I seem to have even worse consumption than when I first posted this thread. I haven't had a computer update since I got the car in 2010 and for a year and a half after that I was getting magical results, 75mpg average over the tank for example (worked out with maths not the trip). I'm even considering taking my car to a dealer just for a reflash to latest software to see if it helps but I know they'll charge me an hours labour and it might be worse. Currently struggling to get over 55mpg over the tank. It's good, but not by my records.
mikester replied to mikester's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubYou have PM. It's a piece of pee fix, don't mess about disconnecting anything. Just buy a new latch, haven't had the warnings and false alarms since I replaced the latch at the start of last year. Around £30 for the latch with perimeter sensor from fordpartsuk.com (sorry Adam, I know I should have come to you first!)
mikester posted a topic in Ford Fiesta Clubremember the days when i was getting 75mpg average over a tank, once i peaked at 80 something average over a tank. (worked out with maths not the trip computer)?? well now i don't even get close, but get this my commute involves less traffic and more mpg friendly roads, i don't get it. I thought engines get better over time. Mine's gone the other way. i can't touch 65mpg average anymore. currently on 61mpg over a half tank. i've been thinking about what has changed other than my journey, i've had two services in between, maybe these have been detrimental. nath, adam, other derv owners, hows your economy holding up or anyone getting the same?

mikester replied to mikester's topic in Ford Fiesta Clubi guess you get used to the gradual drop in effectiveness. what is the solution, £49 trip to kwik fit?
mikester posted a topic in Ford Fiesta Clubdumb question maybe, but i've grown use to the temperature of the blowing cold AC air, so much so that with the hot weather here i've got a feeling what i thought was cold may no longer be as cold as should be. Basically i had the AC on for 20 minutes on saturday and not once did i feel like it cooled the car down. This wasn't the case last year :( So is the AC supposed to be checked during servicing? I've just had a big service, there was no mention of AC maintenance. Is it one of those things they consider perishable and your local kwik-fit are to deal with it? I've never had an AC unit no longer blow cold air before so don't know where to go next!

mikester started following The Mk7 Fiesta Service Costs Thread
It's not as simple as that, you unplug that and it states bonnet open constantly. Bongs every 30 secs.
How could I wire it perm closed? I don't really wana take the plunge with a new catch just in case it's not at fault.. Unless someone local wants to offer their services, I doubt not though... Is there a way to lock the car without the alarm been activated, like using the key in the door?
£240, you got an ok deal. Apparently there are two prices dependant on what filter you've got or something, £240 or £270. Nath if you could that'd be great. Fed up of hearing the thing now
mikester posted a topic in Ford Fiesta Club... No it wasn't the cost, although that'd be my first guess too. My alarm, or more to the point the bonnet/latch sensor is totally past it. Thus my bonnet is now constantly open (apparently), which is annoying continuously getting alarm bongs from the car every 30 seconds whilst driving. Oh and I can't lock my car, as the alarm goes off straight away. Lol good times, the ford technicians were really good and spent a considerable amount of time looking at the problem and trying to fix it all without any additional cost but they were unsuccessful. My question is...... Which fuse is related to the alarm and does it affect other systems if unplugged? I've already tried unplugging the cable attached to the latch but it still alarms and warns of bonnet open. I can live with the bonnet warnings but not the alarm going off al night, my neighbours are getting very arsey with me :(

Embrace the Medicine, "Aire" 6 Day Ayahuasca Retreat, June 2017
- TierraMitica - Ayahuasca Healing Center
- san Martin, Tarapoto, Peru
- Jun 11, 2017 - Jun 16, 2017 (6 days)
- $880.00 - 6 Day Retreat - Includes all Ayahuasca ceremonies, transfers to & from Tarapoto, all meals & accommodation costs.
For those who approach her with respect, with trust, with determination, with clarity on their purpose, and a focused intention, Ayahuasca has gifts beyond any possible expectation. Embrace the Medicine is a fully guided Ayahuasca Retreat, with all the conditions for you to go as deep as you choose in your exploration, in your healing & in your search.
Embrace the Medicine provides overwhelming support and help on your journey and expert guidance, as well as the best and purest Ayahuasca brew. Its difference with the Mythic Voyage, which is our heavy duty, ultra deep transformative workshop designed to help people to go all the way: is the most precious gift of choice. With Embrace the Medicine you have choice to decide how deep you want to go, on which subjects, for how long and how much free time you will have. Free time to rest, to absorb the insights and meditate, to do art therapy in our art studio, swim under the waterfall, read, walk & feel nature. Embrace the Medicine also gives you a set number of 3 or 6 ceremonies, whereas in the Mythic Voyage the number of ceremonies is decided by the guide, since the emphasis is on the group work. You'll have the opportunity to participate in the sharing or not, and to decide how much guidance and help you want, and how intensive or not you wish to make your experience. You will choose how deep you want to take your Journey and we will be there helping you accomplishing it. If you choose to, this retreat can be the deepest and most powerful healing experience you can imagine.
The Ayahuasca communicates through the symbolic language, we offer sharing circles and consultations to prepare you for ceremony and to decipher together the messages, the visions and the insights lived during the night. This way you can gain clarity on what has happened and what your next step should be. The Ayahuasca is a navigable experience, so if you wish, we can teach you how to guide your journey through a very precise and focused intention to go where is needed to find the answers & insights that will make a real difference in your life. The more you know how to navigate it, the more you will feel safe and free to explore, the more conscious you are of your trip and the clearer the results will be.
Embrace the Medicine provides the best in everything, same as the Mythic Voyage: Amazing Shipibo Maestras and Maestros, open air ceremonies under the stars and the moon in a mosquito free environment, a magical high jungle environment without extreme heat and humidity, filled with art, beauty and giant Blue Morpho butterflies. It also mothers you with comfortable beds, hot water showers and exquisite gourmet diet food made with love.
Magic does exist!
Magic is in the Ayahuasca, Magic is in the voices of the Maestras singing their ethereal icaros for you while you are lying under the stars, Magic is in the view of the jungle from our art studio, Magic is in the jungle flower baths at the waterfall, Magic is in openness and sharing within the Human Family, Magic is in daring, Magic is in going deep and then flying, Magic is in celebrating life!

Kohl-Welles dethroned from Senate chair position as Majority Coalition Caucus passes
2013's legislative session is shaping up to be pretty interesting, to say the least.
Earlier today, a floor vote approved Medina Democrat Sen. Rodney Tom's proposal for a "Majority Coalition Caucus," which he and fellow conservative Democrat Sen. Tim Sheldon created by joining with Republicans. The caucus effectively shifts the balance of power from Democrats over to Republicans, by creating a narrow 25-24 Republican majority with the two Democrats trading sides. A proposal by the Democrats to create a more bipartisan Senate -- by having all the committees co-chaired by a Democrat and Republican instead of just one or the other -- was rejected.
Instead, Tom's caucus won out, and several committees have now been stacked with Republican chairs, including the powerful Ways and Means committee.
In the 36th District, where Ballard lies, it means Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles has been dethroned from her chairmanship of the Senate Labor, Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee. Republican Janea Holmquist of Moses Lake, who was the ranking Republican of the committee before the new caucus rearrangement, will be taking Kohl-Welles' place as chair.
Now she will be the ranking minority member of the Higher Education Committee, which she has chaired in the past.
She will also continue to serve on the Ways and Means Committee, the Rules Committee and the Law and Justice Committee. This means she'll have a say on the budget and which bills go to the floor, but since she is not chair of any of these committees, she will not have the final say.
Kohl-Welles' had some harsh words for Tom's new, self-proclaimed "bi-partisan" coalition. During the floor action in which the caucus was approved by a one-vote majority (thanks to the help of Tom and Sheldon), Kohl-Welles noted the last time the Senate Rules were changed during a "coup" such as this was in 1906.
"The rules that governed the Senate for more than 100 years were developed carefully and refined over time through genuine bipartisan collaboration," she said. "Republicans today scrapped those rules in favor of a scheme drawn up unilaterally, overnight, and forced on the other half of the body with no regard or respect for the other side of the aisle. This is not a recipe for trust or respect, it's a road map for confrontation and gridlock."
Kohl-Welles, as other Democrats such as Sen. Ed Murray (who was supposed to be Senate Majority Leader before the coup) have noted, said that Tom and Sheldon betrayed the will of the voters, who elected a Democratic majority within the Senate.

Ripoff Report
Arizona Safety and Security Institute939 S 48th st Tempe, AZ suite 207 tempe, Arizona USA
Arizona Safety and Security Institute completely unprofessional institute tempe Arizona
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On June 1st, 2013 at approximately 08:45 I arrived at the training school location at 939 S 48th Street in Tempe, AZ 85281. I had scheduled the class previously because I was a return customer due to the fact that I had taken my first armed and unarmed classes with the Arizona Safety & Security Institute back in 2009. I also inquired about CPR training and I was assured by Mike Simon that they offered the course and that I could take it as a package deal. While waiting for the class to begin, I was called aside by Tony Garcia at which time he informed me about having reservations about having me attend the class. Garcia stated that he had personal issues with some of the companies that I had worked for in the past. He said that if I was going to work for SSF again or was thinking about it, that I should get my training through them and I advised Mr. Garcia that the class was not being offered for another 2 weeks. I stated my case that I worked for several companies that they (Arizona Safety & Security Institute) had referred me to. I asked to take the course in general because I was recently injured in a car accident and security is the only work I can handle right now. Garcia flat out refused to allow me to attend his training classes based solely on his personal problems that he had with Special Security Force and Bolt Security. Garcia said that he had sought training from Mike (SSF/Arizona Armed & Unarmed Guard Training Center)and was refused and went on to say that he was going to refuse to train me since Mike would not train him. Later I found out this to be a false statement. Garcia said that Diane the owner of Bolt security owed him and promised to send her guards to his training facility because he helped her save her FDIC contracts. I feel this was a totally unprofessional attitude that was detrimental to me personally and professionally. The Arizona Safety & Security Institute had no problem taking my money in 2009 but when they found out that I was employed with Bolt Security and SSF, they let personal feelings interfere with professional standards. This in turn, has caused me financial harm when at a time I am already severely stressed financially and personally.

Addressing the issue
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 01, 2013POSTED: Saturday, June 01, 2013
From: Tony Garcia, Co-owner, Arizona Safety and Security Institute
I have read the following compliant and wish to address this individuals concerns. What he stated is true, he did come in and wanted to receive training from our organization. Upon learning who he worked for I did not wish to train him due to concerns that I have over his current employer having unethical business practices. Everyone who has dealt with me professionally knows that I believe in the security industry and do not wish to do business with certain individuals or companies. As a business owner that is my right to refuse service to any individual. I do not need the money, but I do have certain standards.
Also, he is correct,in 2009, we did refer him to SSF. But this was before we knew how terrible the security company truly is. Since 2009 we no longer refer individuals to seek employment with this company. From our conversation today the individual stated that he is currently employed with SSF.
Upon asking him some questions, such as why doesn't your security company give you the training? He did reply that they will not give another class for three weeks (check the calendar). I then stated, if he was such a valued employee, then SSF should be able to make an exception and do a class ASAP and for free, seeing as how he works for them. There would be no reason for him to come to our facility to take our training.
Another concern now that I have is since the individual stated he was in a car wreck, he hurt his back, and security is the only work he can handle, my question is should he then be armed? This issue deals with officer safety to himself and the public. Should he be carrying a gun right now? But I degress.
He stated that we discussed Bolt security. I can assure that at no time did I discuss Bolt Security and contracts with this individual. How can he be so precise in naming exact contracts? I do not even know what FDIC contracts he is stating. As far as the owner of Bolt goes, I have had no contact with that individual for over 2 years.
In the end, as a business I can not please everyone, I made a judgment call based on my past BUSINESS dealings with another security company.

Weekly Dining Room Menus
Close your eyes and imagine your favorite restaurant. Now think about eating there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... every day for about four years. That is the situation students face here at the University of Northern Colorado Dining Services. We realize the only way to keep customers happy is to vary our menus and offer as wide a selection of food as possible.
The menus for each specific location are cycled through every four weeks. To further increase the selection, the dining rooms have a salad bar, dessert bar, deli bar, and several varieties of cereal which are available during each meal. Click here to see your Gourmet To Go Options.
Weekly menus are available by clicking on the links at the top of this page.
UNC Dining Services serves and uses the following products, among others, in meal preparation: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, and products containing gluten and soy. Dietary information is available upon request. Students who have dietary or allergy-related questions or concerns about any item offered by Dining Services should contact the Dining Room Manager or the Dining Services Office.
For more information or if you would like further clarification regarding Dining Services policies, please contact the Dining Services Office located in Tobey-Kendel Hall, Room 120, call 970-351-2652 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Did You Know?!
For Daily Menus, you can call the FoodLine at 970-351-FOOD. Do you live on campus? You can access daily menus with your VOIP phone in your room too!
The items listed on the menus are only a small representation of what is served on a weekly basis. There are many more items we do not have room to list on the menus... including additional entrees and side dishes, a salad bar with numerous toppings, a deli bar with homemade sub rolls, a cereal bar with a wide variety of choices, and at Tobey-Kendel and Holmes there is soft-serve ice cream.
Our menus are subject to change due to product availability. While we never want to change the menu items once they're posted, sometimes we have to... but we try to make the items comparable when we do.
We are often asked about the quality of food served in the dining rooms here in Dining Services. We pride ourselves on purchasing only the best brand name foods!
