Pecan Prices Popping
Published December 8th, 2011

It's a tough nut to crack. Some of Santa's helpers may have to forgo a stocking-stuffer or two if they want a pecan pie this year. The prices of the nut have popped, and experts don't expect pecans to get any cheaper by next Christmas.

Europe Electric Car 'Breakthrough' Seen in 2022, Consultant Says
European carmakers and parts manufacturers estimate that electric vehicles will emerge from their niche status and become mass-market products by about 2022, according to a study by Ernst & Young.
The greatest hurdle for the cars' acceptance is the perception that their range is too limited, the consulting company said in the 2011 European Automotive Survey of 307 managers at automakers and suppliers across the region.
"A breakthrough would be when there are at least 100,000 electric vehicles on the road in Germany, which is when you'd really notice them," Peter Fuss, Ernst & Young's automotive sector leader for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, told journalists at a presentation in Frankfurt. "But we saw in the music industry how long it took for CDs to take over from records."
There were 2,307 electric cars on German roads as of Jan. 1, Stephan Elsner, a spokesman at the country's Federal Motor Vehicle Office, said in a phone interview. A further 1,409 had been sold in Germany by the end of July, he said. The government aims to have 1 million electric vehicles on the nation's roads by 2020.
Ernst & Young also found in its survey, which is held every other year, that 86 percent of managers expect their company's business to improve in the next six months, as opposed to 1 percent who thought conditions would get "considerably worse," according to Fuss's presentation.

She ate the ENTIRE raw habanero pepper whole without even realizing what she'd done.

At this point I had no idea what had happened. Then she ...

We make the most fantastic and unusual breakfast. Fruit, coffee, tea, toast, (special 5 grain health bread), butter and jam, orange juice and cereal which includes the usual fare, (cornflakes, cheerios and raisin bran),but we also make homemade granola with all kinds of seeds and nuts and dried fruit. Then we cook Spanish torte, (eggs onions, peppers and potatoes) coffee cake (there's no coffee in coffee cake!) breakfast quesadilla with eggs, ham and cheese, apple cake and surprises as we experiment with new recipes. And most important-philosophy (look for the glass of quotes in the middle of the table).
We grow cayenne pepper and it is always on the table. Cayenne is the most valuable herb, not only for the entire digestive system, but also for the heart,immune and circulatory system. It is a very high source of Vitamins A and C, has the complete B complexes, and is very rich in organic calcium and potassium.
We charge $5 per breakfast for all you can eat drink and philosophize about.

Please take us with you
Hey I am here in Wichita until friday after Thanksgiving visiting my wifes parents and was wondering if any of you fellas would like to take me and my dog to tag along while you shoot the birds and my lab retrieves them for you. She has been mainly duck hunting for many seasons now and is doing very well. If any of you guys ever are down in Albuquerque I would be more than happy to repay the favor. I took my dog (Nikki) for a walk along the train tracks here in Maize KS, and she scared up 4 pheasant a 2 coveys of quail in less than an hour. I just have to say there are more birds here in the midwest than there are in the desert. I was stationed in Enid OK for a few years and miss the quality of upland game hunting big time.
Hey beer breakfast what ever, it's on me give my Nikki a chance at these birds and we will have a good time
Please call me :salude:

Seam Sealing Tips and No No's ?
Guys what are some basics to seam sealing... I will use an example, firewall to floor seam, floor pan to inside rocker, rear wheel well to trunk etc......
How much to apply at what point should it be applied ex, before primer after primer, before paint etc ???
Can you apply too much, how do you smooth it out ?
Is there any tutorials on this site about this ?
Here's a "Basics of Basics" on Seam Sealers Click here
Also see the "seam sealers" section of the wiki Rust article, which includes a list of links to seam sealer products.
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Also, it depends on what you are seam sealing and what car you are seam sealing. If it's a new car, Brians article is dead on...but for an old car, they got a little carried away and the seam sealer way back was extremely thick and they didn't care what it looked like. below are some pics of factory seam sealer on a 1962 plymouth. First pic is of the trunk, notice the seamsealer around the wheeltubs to trunk floor. Second is of the floorpan to firewall. Next 2 pics are from a 1969 Charger, all factory.
Mopars were notorious for just piling this stuff on. If you are doing an old car and don't care about doing it back factory, then do it as neat as possible. Just make sure it fills in the gaps 100%.
You are absolutly right, if you want it to look like it did in the sixties, you simply spread it out like a friggin mop. I have a 65 Buick, and yes, that is what it looks like.
HOWEVER, if you want it to look better than it did then (don't care about "originality") then picking up the pace and cleaning it up is a way to go. I know on rods I will do a much better job than they did from the factory.
What did the OEM companies use for an applicator/brush to get the thinner but stillsloppy look? specifically on 80s ford trunk and door seams like below. Also, what are the best brands of seam sealer? Do you get what you pay for or does it pretty much all have the same lasting power?
Sorry if it's a threadjack, just some questions I've had for a while but weren't worth starting a new thread for.
Thx Jon that is exactly what I have a 65 Plymouth with the wide black/grey seams.... I think I will slap it on like that..... can't hurt I would think.... I will just make sure to spread it out half neatly....
Good question johnunit on the door seams....... I assume like Brians article you would apply a brand of your choice after primer and keep it half neat but most importantly 100% coverage of your seam.... and maybe tape it off for neatness ?
What are those two panel seams called again like in the door picture? or firewall to floor where you have two edges coming on top of each other ?
To smooth it out a little I cut the bristles of a paint brush about half way to stiffen it up,then dunk the brush in lacquer thinner or reducer and brush it on the fresh seam sealer before it drys to much.a little trial and error will tell you how far you can seal before brushing,you don't want it to dry to much....I apply it on with a caulk gun then spread it on with a bondo squeegee,working it in between the two layers ,it looks just like the factory....On exposed seams that are to be painted there's paintable seam sealer (drip check)by 3-m. That,put over primer, you let it completely dry, reapply,let that dry and use a gray scotch brite with reducer to clean the excess and smooth out to a factory look then A paper shop towel soaked in reducer makes it even smoother ,prime and paint....

Fewer Empty Airline Seats?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that the current economic picture is beyond gloomy but does that mean airlines will resume their capacity-cutting ways with a vengeance and start yanking more seats or even flights?
Maybe. And that could happen despite what could be considered a relatively good aspect of an economy in the doldrums: lower oil prices which I talked about on Good Morning America recently. As Delta's CEO pointed out in a recent Bloomberg article, "The economy has many challenges, and we have no reason to think low fuel prices will stick." He has a point; sure, oil prices are down for the moment but the "crack spread" (the profit margin for refining crude oil into jet fuel) has yo-yoed up and down throughout the past year.
As far as cutting capacity, one analyst claims it's not a matter of if but when.
Passengers Continue to Fly, for Now
What will ultimately happen depends on you, the flyer, but so far many of you have been boarding planes in solid numbers. One indication of this: an attempted airfare hike just last week (since rolled back). The fact that an airline thought it worthwhile to pursue a hike as we head into the soft fall season, is telling; it says airlines are reasonably confident that they will have the traffic they hope for. At least, they feel that way at this moment.
On the other hand, there was a proposal to slash the U.S. government's $15 billion travel budget by 75% that I tweeted about, so there is certainly contradictory evidence out there.
If airlines do cut capacity, it will mean even fewer empty seats and more packed planes which is directly proportionate to the pain of flying. On the other hand, airlines are businesses, and if they can't make a profit on a flight, there's no point in taking off. We shall see.

Playoff berth secure, Shock play for position
Wed., July 10, 2013, midnight
The Spokane Shock will be in the Arena Football League playoffs, but there wasn't much of a celebration after their 63-49 victory over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
That's because it didn't become official until games later Saturday went final. It's also because reaching the playoffs wasn't at the top of the team's list of goals.
"Getting into the playoffs is a great accomplishment," head coach Andy Olson said, "but the ultimate goal is to win a championship."
The Shock (11-4) and West Division rival San Jose (11-4) clinched playoff berths Saturday. Arizona (13-2) is closing in on the West title and top seed.
Spokane and San Jose are likely battling for the third and fourth seeds – division winners are guaranteed the top two seeds – and No. 3 looks far more appealing than No. 4. The third seed probably avoids a first-round road date with defending ArenaBowl champion Arizona and could end up hosting a playoff game if Chicago wins the Central. There has been speculation Chicago would travel in the first round because the franchise has experienced ownership and arena issues.
Chicago (8-7) and San Antonio (8-7) are tied for first. The Rush currently hold the tiebreaker.
"Our goal is to be second place in the division," Olson said. "We have to win out, we really feel like we have to because of the way San Jose is playing. We'd rather play the other division winner the first week and see what happens."
The Shock's 11 wins eclipsed last year's 10-win season. Spokane has qualified for the playoffs three times in its four years in the AFL.
On the road again
Spokane's final road trip of the season is a long one – in mileage and duration.
For the second time this season, the Shock opted to stay on the road instead of returning home between games. Spokane defeated Tampa Bay on Saturday and bused 200 miles northeast to Jacksonville to prepare for Saturday's game against the playoff-bound Sharks.
Remaining in Florida saves the team some money, even with bills for a week of lodging, compared with returning to Spokane and then flying back across the country. It also allows for additional preparation time and for players to adapt to the heat and humidity. It's expected to be 90 degrees today in Jacksonville and Spokane, but the humidity will be 69 percent in Jacksonville compared with 28 percent locally.
"Two trips is just too much travel," Olson said. "You're almost able to focus more when you're on the road. You spend more time with each other and get more work done in the process."
Spokane did something similar between its second and third games, remaining in Chicago after a win over the Rush and later busing to Des Moines to face Iowa. The Shock capped the eight-day trip with a 23-point blowout of the Barnstormers.
The Shock, who will be in Florida for 10 days, are 6-2 in road games.
They will practice outside at the Sharks' facility. The Sharks stayed in Spokane and practiced at the Arena last month when they had consecutive road dates against Spokane and Utah.
QB change?
Jacksonville's R.J. Archer was knocked out of last week's game and former Shock quarterback Kyle Rowley guided the Sharks past Orlando.
Bernard Morris was the starter before suffering a leg injury in a 76-41 loss to Spokane last month. He was activated from injured reserve Monday.
"I'd assume it'll be Morris because he was the guy before he was hurt," Olson said, "but you never know."

Residents have opportunity for free home improvements
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Some Bristol, Tennessee residents will have the chance to make improvements to their home for free.
A 2010 lawsuit involving King Pharmaceuticals resulted in a settlement worth $630,000 for the city.
The city will distribute that money as grants for energy improvements to area homes. A meeting held Monday allowed homeowners to learn more about this program.
Bristol Community Development Specialist Mindy Bowman said this will help homeowners identify if the can update their home.
"[It's] just information session so that the homeowners can come out and figure out if they qualify. we'll also be passing out information," Bowman said.
Homeowners who qualify for the grant money will have a home energy audit by Bristol Tennessee Essential Services.

Goal 3
Engage Diverse Cultural Groups
Do you know the pivotal year? 2050. That's when nearly one in five people in the US will be immigrants, according to the Pew Research Center – and the year Caucasians will officially rate minority status.
Does your organization's programming, marketing and staff reflect the current demographics of your community? How about the demographics of the future?
As many of our partners prepared for this diversity tsunami, they were delighted to find new sources of artistic and organizational inspiration.
Strategy 1: Build Partnerships
Patrons a homogenous bunch? If you want a more diverse audience, get ready to engage in meaningful partnerships.
An arts-and-change catalyst partners with artists and nonprofits to promote healthier eating in a diverse community
A Contemporary Theatre (ACT): Ramayana Ambassadors
ACT forges relationships with Asian and Southeast Asian audience through cultural ambassadors and relevant programming
Campus MLK
Volunteer arts groups and nonprofits partner to create a course catalog of arts opportunities for a diverse and economically challenged neighborhood
Strategy 2: Relationally Attract Audiences
Diverse audiences may not know about your organization. Even if they do, they may not feel welcome. How to change this? One word: relationships.
Frye Art Museum: Mw [Moment Magnitude]
How to diversify your museum's audience? Invite the neighbors to make art with you.
Seattle Theatre Group (STG): Voices of Strength
Using many avenues, STG pursues one goal — building relationships
Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestras: Southwest Seattle Strings Project
Are the next generation of symphonic artists and patrons in Seattle's most diverse public schools?
Strategy 3: Diversify Staff
Diversifying your staff isn't about being PC. It's about survival. Trust, credibility, and cultural fluency are just some of the assets diverse staff members bring.
Northwest Folklife: Community Arts Engagement Mentorship Project
Enlisting the aid of a Somali community member is the secret to making folk art presentation a success
Strategy 4: Strategize Social Media

After the murder of his friend, Raylan is a man on fire as he goes after any- and everyone he holds responsible on the way to a bloody final showdown.

Two Better Than One
Two Better Than One
Dear Editor,
May I add another word of approval to your editorial (3/16) in praise of Rockaway's two Council members?
An important legislative initiative (now known as Intro 205A) that will protect children from the adverse health effects of lead poisoning will be introduced into the City Council on March 25. Thirty-two of the 51 members of of the Council have signed on as co-sponsors, and I am pleased to note that both James Sanders and Joseph Addabbo are among them. Both these legislators know that elevated body burdens of lead in children is a health issue, and that it more seriously affects parts of Queens, including the Rockaways, than it does other areas of New York City.
The pubic health community in this City are hopeful that the legislation will be assigned to the Health Committee of the Council (since it is primarily a public health issue), and that it will be passed early in this Council session.

General manager Martin Mayhew says the Lions terminated Berry's contract because of personal conduct which adversely affected the team. Lions president Tom Lewand says the team has stressed repeatedly that ''there will be appropriate consequences when an expected standard of behavior is not upheld.''
Captain Kyle Gautsch of the Harrisburg Police Department says Berry was taken into custody early Saturday morning on three charges of simple assault. Gautsch said there ''was a weapon allegedly brandished during the incident.''
Berry, who is from Harrisburg, was also arrested in that area June 23 on suspicion of DUI, failure to stop and render aid from an accident and other counts. He was set to enter a diversionary program in that case. Berry was expected to report for Lions training camp on Thursday. His second arrest was the latest bit of bad publicity during a troubled offseason for the Lions.
Running back Mikel Leshoure will miss the first two games this season without pay and will have to give up two more game checks for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Defensive tackle Nick Fairley was arrested twice in two months.
Berry is entering his third NFL season. He started three games last season for the Lions and one the previous season.
''I would just hope that everybody just holds their judgment on this matter,'' said Corky Goldstein, Berry's lawyer. ''There's a lot more to this situation. ... I know Aaron is very upset over this whole situation. Let's give the opportunity for all the facts to come out.''

As Nickelsville claims stability, HPAC asks Mayor for move out date
The future of the Nickelsville homeless encampment in the Highland Park area of West Seattle continues to hang in limbo, with tenants of the camp claiming productive meetings with Seattle police and the removal of trouble tenants while a neighborhood group asks the Mayor to move the camp out of the area by June 13.
First, the Nickelsville Central Committee (NCC) sent out an update at the end of March claiming, "Without police support it wasn't easy, but the meth dealer and co. are gone for good from Nickelsville."
Our report from last week highlighted the reason police are unable to help Nickelsville, located at 7116 W. Marginal Way S.W., due to the fact that it is an unofficial homeless encampment located on public city land. "This is public property … (and) there is no legal ability for anyone staying there … nor my officers … to evict somebody from public property," Seattle Police Southwest Precinct Captain Joe Kessler said after the NCC claimed they were not getting support from SPD.
NCC said they had a productive meeting with Southwest Precinct leadership in the aftermath of that dispute, including recommendations from police to call 911 "every time someone barges in and steals some of our food, or a 5 gallon container of water, or another donation to the camp." NCC said police also recommended Nickelsville set up a "Quartermaster" system to issue camp supplies in a more orderly fashion.
"Our challenges this week have encouraged the small number of neighbors who never wanted us here to push City Hall to bulldoze us," the NCC update continued. "Please remember that we are eager to move to a better site, and want there to be a win win solution for Food Lifeline, the neighborhood, and us."
Meanwhile, on April 2, the Highland Park Action Committee (HPAC) sent a letter to Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn to request a move-out date for Nickelsville.
In part, that letter stated, "The City's blind eye/hands off approach (to Nickelsville) has not worked for the residents of the encampment, or for the neighborhood. If the City were running the encampement or had any official presence there, they could help get people the services they need."
HPAC went on to claim campers barred from Nickelsville for bad behavior "are now living in our backyard woods," along with voicing concern over security and public health.
"The City has disrespected and taken advantage of our neighborhood for long enough by keeping (the camp) here for 2 years now … The City has set a dangerous precedent of condoning permanent encampments, without due process from neighbors or community members, to be set up overnight in any neighborhood of Seattle," HPAC wrote.
The letter went on to specifically request a move-out date no later than June 13, one month notice being given to Nickelsville residents "and that every measure possible be taken to ensure that each person at the encampment is offered shelter or housing," and a commitment from police to regularly patrol Highland Park greenbelt paths where homeless camps have sprung up.
The letter finishes with a warning that if a move out date is not declared by the Mayor by May 13 (the second year anniversary of Nickelsville in Highland Park), "we will be forced to take action which will include more media, a lot of emails and visits to your offices from our community, and legal action."
In a final wrinkle to the story, hunger relief organization Food Lifeline is reportedly interested in purchasing the land where Nickelsville currently sits for a new building, although the organization has said they want to ensure the tenants of Nickelsville have a new home ready before moving forward with the purchase.
The NCC responded to HPAC and Food Lifeline's plans with the statement, "Nickelsville wants to move by June 13, 2013. We want Food Lifeline's dream for the land we are on to come true. Food and Shelter are equally important."

My 7yo was PUKED on.
- 18 Replies
A kid on his bus was sick all day. They were in the office with a fever all day. The parents refused to pick up their child, told the school to send child home on the bus.
The child sat next to mine, the bus started moving & the child puked all over mine, his coat, shoes & backpack were covered in chunks. He stunk to high hell. He had to have a shower & his clothes in the washer right away.
What kind of ignorant parent ignores their childs sickness; refuses to pick them up from school; exposes all the kids to her sick child & send them home on the bus.
What kind of school doesn't send the kid with a trash an on the bus and make them sit alone?! But yes, parents are morons, still, school could've helped more.
Quoting TheSilence: Nice spin off.....

Bruins happy to see Patrice Bergeron getting credit he deserves
|05.15.13 at 2:23 pm ET
When Patrice Bergeron won the Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive forward last season, many folks it was overdue. He'd been considered one of the more underrated players in the game for quite some time, but his national exposure during the 2011 playoffs got people's attention, and the next year he got his first Selke nomination and victory.
More so than other awards, the Selke fraternity is a kind of member-for-life type of club. Once you've won it, you'll be considered every year as long as you're healthy. Pavel Datsyuk, a three-time winner and a finalist again this season, is proof of that. Now that Bergeron is a member of the club, the Bruins are pleased to see he's finally getting the recognition from the national media (the trophy is voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association).
"I can tell you right now, I would be extremely disappointed and would've been vocal about it had he not been [a finalist]," Claude Julien said. "This guy here is so good at both ends of the ice, and he keeps proving it year after year. There's not too many guys in this league that can do what Patrice does. You saw him, as you mentioned, scoring those goals the other night. But you also see him every year, we talk about Zdeno [Chara] playing against top players on other teams, so does he for the most part. At the end of every year he's always a plus player, so that tells you a lot about the utility and how valuable this guy is to our team."
Bergeron led the NHL with a 62.1 success rate on faceoffs (549-for-884) and finished sixth in the league with a plus-24 rating during the regular season. The other two finalists for the award are Datsyuk and Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews are the other finalists for the award.

Domino Jones
Colorfully clad in traditional guayaberas, and chomping on their cheroots as if the cigar were their last meal, the veteran players tossing bones at Little Havanas Domino Park represent the flavor of Miami as much as a café con leche. Given the peppery language and folksy pageantry, one shouldnt be surprised that Carnaval Miami has made its Domino Tournament at the picturesque Maximo Gomez Domino Park in the heart of Little Havana a highlight of this years festivities.
Organizers say since beginning six years ago, the tournament has grown in popularity and attracts clubs from as far as Orlando and Puerto Rico to compete on Calle Ocho for the $1500 grand prize. We are expecting ESPN to film the tournament for its Spanish programming, beams organizer Alfredo Bared of the Little Havana Kiwanis. The game has caught on with audiences with the same excitement as Vegas poker championships.
During three days of elimination rounds -- which come to a head today at 4:00 -- 80 players ages 45 and older will be paired in teams of two. The geezers will face off in the old-school game of double nines, where whoever scores 150 points advances while the losers are given the heave-ho. Expect the clickety-clack of the tiles to be drowned out by some spirited cussing and crotchety cheering, warns Bared. We dont want to lose the flavor of the game which has always been played by the veteranos. Call 305-644-8888, or visit www.carnavalmiami.com.

heat resistant lamp
I have a ingle nook fire place with a wood burner in it, when the woodburner is on it gets hot within the fireplace..... What I want to know is what type of lamps I could put inside the fireplace that will put up with that kind of heat, and where to buy them from.
I hope you can help with this.
Contact a place that sells inserts and fireplace supplies. They might be able to help. Personally, I cannot see any lamp or fixture that could handle the heat from the inside of a real fireplace. I could be wrong.

Ubuntu to Cut Support Period in Half for Non-LTS Releases
If you have come to rely on not being forced to upgrade too quickly when using non-LTS versions of Ubuntu, then your luck has finally run out. Starting with the 13.04 'Raring Ringtail' release the 18 month support period for non-LTS releases will be cut in half to 9 months.
The move to a shorter support period was chosen over the option of a 'rolling release model' that many in the Ubuntu community were in favor of. Details are still somewhat sketchy at the moment and more details about the latest decision will be available soon.
From the blog post: The developers want to make it easier for users of the distribution to get up-to-date packages on a regular basis without the need to perform explicit upgrades of the whole distribution.
The reduction in support for non-LTS releases from 18 to nine months should give the developers more time to concentrate on testing the packages to which users will be able to upgrade between major releases. No decisions have been taken, apparently, on how the up-to-date packages will be delivered to users; the Technical Board only decided to "enable users to continuously track the development focus of Ubuntu without having to explicitly upgrade". The implementation details are expected to be worked out in the next few weeks.
You can learn more about the meeting by visiting the blog post and chat log session links below.

Sounds of the game… Flyers 4, Bruins 3, OT
|02.07.09 at 9:04 pm ET
The Bruins under Claude Julien rarely blow leads at home. They almost NEVER blow two-goal leads.
Saturday they did both to the very hungry Philadelphia Flyers.
After beating Philadelphia, 3-1, on Wednesday with an extremely sound game and a nearly perfect third period, the Bruins looked very tired once they went up by two with their fastest two goals since Barry Pederson and Norman Leveille scored eight seconds apart on Dec. 20, 1981.
But the Flyers were the better and more desperate team for the last 43 minutes of this one, and you'll get no argument from the Black and Gold on that point.
Yes, they could've won when the Flyers' Antero Niittymaki inexplicably knocked the puck up and over the boards for a delay of game penalty in the final 90 seconds.
Yes, they could've won it when Dennis WIdeman's shot from the left point and rang off the right post in overtime.
And yes, they could've LOST it when Jeff Carter broke in on a shorthanded breakaway and when Simon Gagne fired one on net only to have Manny Fernandez come up big.
But they lost this game when Randy Jones, of all people, flipped the puck toward the net. It went off Andrew Ference and past Fernandez exactly three minutes into overtime for the game-winner.
It was Jones who hit Patrice Bergeron from behind on Oct. 27, 2007 at the Garden, causing Bergeron to miss the rest of the season with a grade three concussion.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said the Bruins looked like a tired bunch.
Julien said Manny Fernandez deserved a better fate in his first game back since early January.
Marc Savard said he thought the Bruins played like a tired team.
Savard said now is no time to worry about a Bruins team that already has 85 points.

In June 2013, Nissan had revealed the first sketch of its Renault Duster-based SUV, named Terrano. Unlike most badge-engineered vehicles, the Terrano, at least in its first revealed sketch, seems to have been heavily reworked on the design front. [Update (20/08/2013): Nissan showcases Terrano SUV in India]
The Japanese car maker has now revealed a sketch of the Terrano's rear as well. Styling changes over the Duster include new split rear tail lights and while the rear windshield remains the same, the tailgate gets an altered licence plate holder. The rear bumper has also been marginally restyled to accommodate the reflectors at a slightly altered position around the corners.
Interior changes are expected to be limited, however, the Terrano will likely pack in more equipment over its Renault counterpart.
Mechanically, the Terrano will remain identical to the Duster in terms of its powertrain, suspension setup and electronics.
The Nissan Terrano will be priced anywhere between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh (depending on the variant) above the Duster because it has been borrowed from Renault.
The Terrano will be built at its Oragadam Plant alongside the Micra hatchback, Sunny mid-size sedan and Evalia MUV. The SUV will be launched in 2013, though as of now there is no confirmed launch date.

GPS Faceplate - coating is chipping/peeling off - can this even be replaced?
V Emblems - driverside, passenger side, and trunk
Cadillac Emblem - Grill
Seat Memory Button - Driver side door panel - the one with the 1 / 2 on it.
Sunroof Knob
Trunk Lid Hinges
Owner's Manual - any way to get one of these still?
UUC Shifter & Bushings

Not certain if you source these products or not:
CS rear diff bushing
CS motor mounts
GForce Axle - Passenger side
Thanks in advance. I've got photos of most everything if needed to confirm specific parts.
Re: Christmas List - Part Sourcing?
Wanted to say thanks to Luke for the help on this. Got with him over email and all is in line. Let's hope I get everything I want

Flagpole Responsibility
Dear Editor,
My family is responsible for the flagpole erected at the end of Beach 128 Street that in the past weeks has been fodder for many comments and editorials in this and other media outlets.
My family would like to thank all of the many, overwhelming really, residents and friends and interested fellow New Yorkers who expressed their support in so many ways. Letters, e-mails, calls and notes to NYC officials and just warm expressions of support in person. Most, if not all, of that positive response, despite all of the emotion and distortion driven by a few, simply thanking us for replacing what everyone missed on the block, a lost flag pole and a flag.
We readily admit, in hindsight, that after seeking advice from a number of what we respected as informed sources, it turned out that we had not followed the appropriate city processes for approval. However, despite what others may attempt to assert, we never misled anyone about our intentions, we did ask all the residents on the beach block and others if they would support the placement of a flagpole and a memorial. Even those now requesting the removal of both admit they agreed.
We sought to provide something to the neighborhood that would be both a suitable monument as well as something residents wanted and would appreciate. We even incorporated residents' suggestions to dampen the noise from a flagpole by including plastic sleeves. All, ALL of the residents said they always wanted to replace the flagpole that had previously stood at the end of the block but had not been sturdy enough to last. We strove to provide the best possible replacement and invested to do just that.
We feel it is at best disingenuous for a few residents to, after the fact, raise objections such as obstructed views (we replaced something already there), turning the beach into a cemetery (we have already removed the memorial plaque), or who is or isn't patriotic. This also is not about placement in the "baffle" vs outside. The difference is merely a few feet. What this seems to be is one resident's view of extracting her view of justice because as she wrote "if the family...had not scattered her ashes on the beach...none of this controversy would have occurred." Those raising objections seem to make a distinction about the acceptability of the flagpole based on the intention behind it, i.e. a remembrance.
Let's all cut through the emotion and distortive nonsense. Residents have overwhelmingly supported the flag and pole, our family has met with and is working through the proper channels within NYC to make it all legal, we have removed the "offensive" marker. What more needs to happen for us all to acknowledge that the majority of residents have spoken and the very small minority are not only greatly out-voted but also out of reasonable, meaningful objections to this beautiful respectful gift and improved replacement for something that always existed. The source or the motivation for this is not relevant or important. To represent any other objections is not being honest and in fact is being small minded and petty.
We appreciate the outpouring of good wishes and support and thank all those who took the time to engage in this issue to help make this happen.

Although nature names are in vogue, Heather is stuck in the 70-80's period so it's currently "dated". Personally, I knew far too many mean Heathers growing up to even suggest it to anyone. It may be another generation before she's revived again.All the best,

I don't think it's that bad.
My youngest sister's best friend is named Heather, and she's twelve.
Maybe it's just where I'm from, but I know a lot of Heathers my age (early twenties) and younger.

Well, it's definitely an 80's name, but it would depend on the kid. I think it could work depending on the family.Top Names: Benedict Calvin & Noelle Geneva
Olivia/Livy : Darah/Bethel : Eve/Verity
Eli/Solomon : Luke/Zane: Levi/Phineas
Due in January!


text: I have a finished basement and each time I take a shower or run the dishwasher, a small puddle of clear water appears on the basement floor and then disappears within a few hours. It appears next to a wall where my water service enters the house and I see no evidence of water anywhere else - like in the ceiling. The shower and dishwasher are located on the far side of the house from the water entry and where the puddle occurs. I presume the water is coming from behind the wall. Where do you even start looking for this kind of a leak when it means ripping off the drywall? It seems strange that a leak would occur near the main water entry and only get activated when operating the water elsewhere in the house. Any thoughts folks have would be appreciated.

Dirk Enzmann (firstname.lastname@example.com) misses the font Stata 8x12
that was available in Stata 8 and previous versions of Stata:
> Using Stata 9 I *really* miss the review window font Stata 8x12 (or

> I tried Courier, Couriew New, Lucida Console, Fixedsys, and Thinfix, but

The old 'Stata #x#' fonts had some disadvantages that caused us to
drop support for them. They are old bitmap fonts, which means they
do not scale well to different points sizes like modern TrueType
fonts. And, they do not have support for extended characters found
in many languages.
However, Windows provides a font which has some point sizes which
produce characters almost identical to those in the Stata #x# fonts.
In a Windows font dialog box, choose 'Terminal' as the font. Then,
the following point sizes produce a font on screen equivalent to
the Stata #x# fonts listed below:
Terminal (size 6) --> Stata 6x8
Terminal (size 9) --> Stata 8x12
Terminal (size 12) --> Stata 12x16
Terminal (size 14) --> Stata 10x18
Some of the Stata #x# fonts are not replicated by Terminal, but
those tend to be the 'odd' sizes in which most people would not be
interested. The most common ones are represented above.

Head of Kiwi Income Property Trust
The man who heads the trust that opened the country's largest new shopping centre this year can be satisfied with the last 12 months.
Not only did McNaughton open his $337 million Sylvia Park centre, but he kept it open despite threats from Transit after Auckland's motorways ground to a halt on opening day.
But a shopper stampede can't be all bad - and not all the estimated 40,000 who poured in during early June were after cheap TVs at The Warehouse Extra. And how they have splurged.
McNaughton's Kiwi Income Property Trust which owns the hyper-mart, overcame vehement institutional investor resistance to developing the park. And now the investors reckon the centre is a cracker. And by this time next year, the final third and fourth stages will be open.

When we's got home, mom tooked me out of da stroller and watched me walk so hers felted betta. In about 5 minutes her seed dat I wuz limpin and looked like I's in pain. Her's checked me all ober and founded blood on da top of my leg. It wuz a deep puncture wound fwom da bite! Her's felt bad her didn't see it before, but I's gots lots of fur! Her cleaned me up and putted pwessure to make da blood stop pourin out. Den hers put some gooy stuffs on it.

Hers told me to stay dere, but I's kind of a "do my own ting" sorta pup. Hmmmm, guess I shuda listened dis time. Her fweaked out cuz it had blood comin out again! Hers had to getted it to stopped again.

After mom put me in da bed wiff her and I's had a good nites of westy, I's feelin betta today! I's still weally sore and mom's watchin me weal careful like.
I wuv my mom, and hers hopin I learned a lesson to listen to her betta, but....hmmm....we'll see bout dat! I's still gotta be me!
I's not sure if I will still be weally twustin of udder pups, but we'll see. Today I will get to ride with Bella when we go for our walk! Mom will keep us zipped up safe and sound in da buggy!
Can you balieve it? We's famous now! We's gots our picture in a neighborhood paper! Our mom wuvs to go for walks, but she didn't take us wif her because she likes to go on long, long, long walks! She sez we can't keep up wif her. What's she talkin bout? I can run circles around her so fast she'd get dizzy! BOL!!! Poor little Bella hafs a disability wif her knees, dey pop outta joint and den she can't walk berry good. So, she usually last just about a block before she sits down and wants mom to carry her. Mom felt bad not taking us wif her so she got a bright idea to take our skin nephew's (Cody)stroller for Bella. We wuz lookin at her like she wuz cwazy! We said, where's little Cody? She said, this is for Bella when she gets tired and when Cody Bear gets tired. I thought our momma's dun lost her mind! I don't get tired! So off we go, mom pushin da stroller and me and Bella walkin on our leashes. So Bella didn't last long and mom put her in da stroller. Well, Bella wuz wuvin it! She wuz sittin dere watching eberytin. She wuz tellin me how cool it wuz to be ridin instead of walkin.
Well, I gotta tell you I didn't know anyone could walk as long as mom did, but I wuz tryin to be really macho and keep up wif her. Finally we wuz coming up to a big hill and mom sez, Cody Bear, "I tink you need to ride wif Bella fur awhile." Hey, she's my mom, I gots to do what she sez! Here we wuz, ridin around and I really liked it! Wowzers! Dis is a whole new world up on dis level of lookin at tings. What a way to see da neighborhood! Not only dat, but people would stop and talk to us and thot we's cute ridin in da stroller. Well, dis car starts comin towards us and a man pulls ober and sez, "I just got to get a picture of dis!!! Mom sez, you can take a picture of da dogs, but I'm not gonna be in it! He sez, you haf to be in it. I'm puttin dis in da Columbia Star Neighborhood paper! Well, mom finally sez ok and she explained why she brings da stroller.
Well, mom forgot about it and today we's walkin in our neighborhood and dis man wuz walkin by and sez, hey, you're famous, you're on da front page of da newspaper. Sure enuf, mom went to get some papers and dere we were big as life! She about freaked out looking at da big picture on da front page. She had been walkin and sweatin for 1 1/2 hours, wif her hair frizzin out and no make up on. She sez, she wuz glad she had her sunglasses on! BOL! Wuts da deal wif all dat gook on da face anyway? Me and Bella don't wear make up and we look fine!
So, dats da story of how we became famous. Anyone want an pawtagwaph? Dey are free for now, but when we get really famous they may be worth sumfin! Who knows, we might make it to the big papers someday. Hey mom, where's my sungwasses? Gotta be careful of dose puperotzi peeple. Dey's always twyin to take pictures of da stars! I'z a star now and stuff like dat. :o}

recommend a book
I will be starting my first drywall project soon. can anyone recommend a good how to book? this forum is great but digging through the forum is tough to get all the info at once...
There's dozens of web sites on how to dry wall just do a key word search and print it out.
A basic drywall job just can be explained in just few simple steps and would not require a whole book and added expence. Arches, rounded corners, textures would take a lot more info
theirs some nice books at lowes that i have skimmed thru from time to time they seem complete and easy to understand :) about 20 dollars
All home centers have plenty of books.
I have not bought or read a drywall book. But I have recently purchased and used books on framing, wiring and plumbing. I find the Creative Homeowner books to be well done and easy to use. The books from Taunton Press (Fine Homebuilding and Fine Woodworking magazines) are usually very good, too. Some of the Taunton books assume you already have the basics. The 123 books at HD are good, too.
Some of the 123 books are lacking in accuracy correctness when it comes to industry fundamentals and basics, so be careful subscribing to those writings. Always verify what they have to say through another source.
page 1- make sure room is square, pulling 3,4,5 measurements. chalk line
figure how much drywall is needed?
page 2- find helper, buy drywall, 2 drywall hammers/nails or screw gun/screws? build 2 benches with step up about 2 feet high, or buy 2 adjustable legged drywall benches. measure length to reach center of ceiling joist, checking for centers of each joist. chalk nail/screw line if needed? blue chalk not red! red is permanent. put glue on each joist. grab one end of sheet, helper other end. carry over to benches, walk up, push sheet up, start nailing/screwing. complete entire ceiling this way. remember you only have 1/2 or 5/8" to play with, try to keep tight to walls, scribe if needed?
page 3-
measure wall sheets from which ever side you're comfortable working from? cut sheet to length, carry to wall, lean sheet against wall, start nail in sheet in center of each stud about 1 1/4" down, lift sheet up to ceiling, drive nails/screws. complete all walls in this fashion. don't forget to glue and stagger all joints! use drywall kickers for low sheets, nail/screw every 6-8 inches
page 4- when all drywall is up, get Spackle/mud,drywall tape, 1 4" Spackle knife, 1 6" knife, Spackle pan. or 12" 14" 16" drywall trowel longer is better. also need hawk for mud. find old paint brush.
page 5-
open mud bucket with screwdriver,take off lid, remove plastic cover. use drill and mixer, mix well getting as much air as possible out
set up benches with 2x12 planking for scaffold. fill Spackle pan with mixed mud. measure corner tape by placing against wall, holding and moving along entire wall, place tape between thumb and fingers, running length of tape bending to form inside corners.
climb on scaffold with Spackle pan, paint brush and 4" knife in your pocket. start painting mud onto corner about 3-4', place folded tape in corner, smooth out with the knife in pocket.
while you're doing this, helper is measuring outer corners for ceilings and uprights, and folding them for you. as you're painting on mud, look for large gaps and fill gaps with mud, when running knife along corners, run knife on sheet with gap first, keeping knife tight to other sheet making nice straight corners. you might want a 4" corner tool?
after ceiling corners are done, start vertical corners from top down, as far as you can reach, again pain brushing mud on looking for gaps.
oops! forgot joints:furious: use 6" knife on joints apply mud to joints heavy, do all butt joints first, tear tape length of joint, place tape centered over joints keeping as straight as possible. measure tape to lap over tapered joints by 3/4-1" slap mud in hard to any gaps? fill them up oh yea! do all joints before starting corners. after mudded in and tape in place, hold tape with one hand while running 6" knife smoothing out tape and mud, smooth it out as best you can, it's going to shrink as dries, sucking tape into cracks.
back to vertical corners, when you've ran as low as you could, get down and finish bottom, lifting tape to above still we mud, brush rest on then finish corner as started. use end of knife at bottom to push mud out, keeping walls and floors as smooth as possible, no globs behind baseboard or under flooring! oh don't forget to coat all countersunk nails/screws! let everything dry, at least overnight.
need, Spackle pan, 4" knife or 4" corner tool, 12" 14" or 16" trowel and hawk, and paintbrush. set benches/scaffold up 1-2' from wall. load hawk with mud, climb on scaffold, hawk in one hand, trowel of your choosing in other, hold hawk on just enough angle to get mud on trowel without pouring on floor. you need enough mud on trowel to cover 4' butt joints. do all butt joints first, ceiling and walls.
start coating about 1/2" from corners on ceiling holding trowel with mud as near straight up and down as you can without pouring on floor, as pulling trowel across joint, gradually flatten trowel to get good heavy coat over tape, steady pressure all way across, until reach tapered joint then straighten trowel back up/down, leaving no mud, only white streak past tapered joint. you'll get the knack of smoothing it in one swipe in time? till then, go over until smooth. depending on how many butts you have and how long it takes? should be dry enough to run tapered joints when they're done. if not? just coat up close and wait to co over till dry enough. on longer tapered joints, get enough mud on trowel to get you out 3-4', then work backwards, from dry into wet mud. gain, you'll get the knack of straightening and leveling the trowel to leave no lap marks in time. lust takes practice. after all joints are done, you're ready to coat corners. use brush and mud pan as the first time when taping corners. brush mud into corners, then smooth I prefer corner tool myself, keep corners tight ito vertical corners, making nice/clean/sharp corners where intersect. again, you'll lean to lift and lower tool to get smooth unlapped corners. when done, you'll begin to see how good of job you're doing? let dry at least overnight. next day same process all over again. let dry overnight.
page 7-
bring 6" knife, sandpaper, sanding pole, paint brushes/rollers/pans,face mask and paint.
put sandpaper-simi fine grit on pole, put on face mask and begin sanding lightly mostly over feathered edges, less on actual tape, careful to not scuff paper on drywall or go through coating and scuff tape. any imperfections, gouges/ridges? use 6" knife with mud to cover again before sanding, gouges, run knife over entire gouge, ridges, run taper over both sides to smooth out. after sanding, I recommend wiping ceiling and walls down to remove excess dust before painting
paint walls and ceiling, I recommend two coats of paint. don't be alarmed if see every joint and nail through paint? it's normal until paint dries. after second coat of paint, go home.
come back tomorrow and admire the job you've done!
there you go, entire how to book on 7 pages. print it out and publish it. but I expect rewards!
as always, just my thoughts.
take what helps? ignore the rest!
good luck
PS. if we make money with book? I'll private message you with name and address to send royalties
