I added Google + 1 to my blogsAdd a plus one if you want to recommend this post to your network.
I heard of Google +1 from my daughter a week ago but today I got reminded about it during the Blog and Soul Google Adsense webinar. The Google +1 was officially announced March 30 in English speaking countries. The introduction of +1 (as in "plus one"), is similar to the "like" button in facebook but it can be shown all over the web. It is like saying "this is pretty cool" but for google they called it +1.
The +1 button is a shorthand for "this is pretty cool" or "you should check this out." Click +1 to publicly give something your stamp of approval. Your +1's can help friends, contacts and others find the best stuff when they search.
To install, users simply log in to their Google accounts and click the +1 button next to any search result. Just like the Facebook's Like button, +1 s are being shared with a user's immediate contacts in the google network. These preference are seen throughout the world wide web to see is visible for the whole web to see. "They can appear in Google search results, on ads, and sites across the web. You'll always be able to see your own +1's in a new tab on your Google Profile, and if you want, you can share this tab with the world."
By accident, I was able to see the +1 code when I logged on to my adsense new interface so I quickly added the code to my blogs.
The Google blog explains more on the relevance of the Google plus one.
The beauty of +1's is their relevance—you get the right recommendations (because they come from people who matter to you), at the right time (when you are actually looking for information about that topic) and in the right format (your search results). For more information about +1, watch this video:

Manufacturers in the Bay of Plenty and Waikato are expanding faster than elsewhere in New Zealand, according to the Employers and Manufactures Association's latest Performance of Manufacturing Index.
Manufacturers are attributing the reason to the high performing rural sector.
"The integration of our rural and urban businesses is delivering real sustainability to the regions' economies," said Jack Ninnes, chairman of EMA Waikato.
Tauranga Chamber of Commerce chief executive Dave Burnett agreed, and said the revival of the kiwifruit sector in particular was a big driver of industry overall.
"It's having a nice ripple effect throughout the whole economy," he said. "There's a lot more optimism in horticulture, which is fantastic because it plays such a big part in the region's economy."
Mr Burnett added that employment levels were looking strong with shortages starting to appear in some sectors, including building and IT.
The EMA represented the employers and manufacturers and ran its PMI survey monthly. The further the reading above 50, the stronger the expansion, while readings below 50 indicated a decline, said Mr Ninnes.
The PMI for the Bay of Plenty/Waikato was a strong 58.6 for May, he said. Although that was slightly below the level of 60.1 at the same period last year, it compared favourably to the nation-wide PMI of 52.1.
"Better still, the production index at 61.5, and the employment index at 65.4, suggest manufacturers have jobs to fill," he said. "These results point to significantly higher business confidence in our regions than in the bigger centres, where the PMI is indicating slower rates of expansion."
Mr Ninnes said local manufacturers in the Bay of Plenty and Waikato attributed the good result to several favourable factors, including large regional projects requiring manufactured inputs, solid Fieldays sales, New Zealand Boat Show sales, new building and construction activity, businesses relocating premises, more large commercial work, ongoing dairy-related developments and a general lift in activity levels.
"Business in the Bay of Plenty are seeing plenty of sales," he said. "There's a lot more positives than negatives."
Mr Burnett and Mr Ninnes both cited the high dollar as being of concern for exporting manufacturers.
"But the overall level of growth is a testimony to our local manufacturers' resilience and ever increasing capabilities," he said.
Mr Burnett said exporters were getting used to the high dollar. "It's the new norm - the manufacturers who've got their head around it are doing okay."
He also the recent announcement of Port of Tauranga's 10-year alliance with major freight and logistics company Kotahi and Maersk Lines would have a positive impact in the region.
"Having that sort of stuff happen is very positive, as is having exporters who can take advantage of it,"
"I think the business sentiment is still very positive out there," Mr Burnett said.

The Benefits of Using Double StrollersPosted by Rochelle on Tuesday Apr 1, 2014 Under Child Safety
Double strollers have proved convenient in situations where parents have twins or babies who are born closely together and in the children care centers where the nanny has to care for several babies at the same time. The manufacturers of the double strollers have made huge strides to come up with different designs and types of these strollers. It makes it easy for parents to find the best double stroller reviews by reading their reviews on stroller websites and then choosing the best ones for their babies.
As such, you can benefit while using the double stroller in a number of ways:
Cost Effectiveness
Parents with young children have to incur various expenses ranging from medical expenses, insurance, house mortgage, savings for the child's education in the future among the other expenses. These expenses have to be met despite the parents having to offer care to the child at different times of the day or the mother of the child giving up her job in order to care for the child. This makes the family budget constricted in order to meet all the expenses. If one is able to save a penny it goes a long way to ensuring the money is spread for other purposes. The choice of double stroller will aid in money savings because when other children are born, they can still use the stroller. The caregiver can accommodate the new child as well as the older one without having to buy a new stroller. In case you want to learn about potty training your children, the best way is to learn about them through simple and effective videos.
Sheer Convenience and Comfort
The double strollers have proven beneficial in keeping the children together especially in the baby care centers where nannies are usually overwhelmed by the various demands of the children and the need to be watchful. They help in keeping the infants and toddlers in on place while the caregiver performs other duties. During family outings the children can accompany their parents without being a bother, while shopping and going for walks or jogging sessions the parents can take their children with them. The double jogger style stroller has been singled out to be comfortable for the children who have to experience bumpy, uneven paths rides especially while their caregivers jog. Find out the reviews of some of the best double strollers at Lauren's website.
Wide Variety
The double stroller comes in different styles and therefore can serve both the twin and children of different ages. The sit-and-stand double stroller enables children of different ages to use at the same time since the caregiver can place the new born baby in the seat while the toddler can safely catch a ride while standing. This permits the child to enjoy both positions at different times while giving the mother an opportunity to do shopping and be on the lookout.
The double stroller can be used for the different purposes thus considered multi-versatile. In situations where a caregiver has an older baby, the front and rear style double stroller is handy in that the front seat can be used for the baby while the rear seat used for the grocery and other items during shopping. The front and rear style also allows the caregiver to navigate the shopping aisles easily due to its narrow size. Versatility is one of the benefits of using double strollers.

The UPA-1 slogan, 'Electricity to all by 2012,' has now been changed to 'Affordable electricity to all households in the next five years.'
Speaking at an international seminar on Energy Access, organised by the ministry of new and renewable energy and CII on Tuesday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the government aims to provide "24x7 electricity to all households in the country and affordable access to electricity in the next 5 years."
Singh also said the government is taking steps to offer cooking gas to all rural households. At present, around 12% of around 190 million rural households use LPG to meet their cooking energy needs.
The prime minister further said the government is working on a mechanism to provide subsidy to targeted individuals so that they can afford to have electricity and LPG.
He said that the government is looking to put in place a mechanism where subsidy would be directly transferred to bank accounts of the beneficiary.
He said in one pilot scheme in Mysore district of Karnataka, 27,000 deliveries of subsidised cylinders have been made after successful biometric authentication of any family member present at home.
"In the next phase it is planned to transfer the subsidy amount directly to the bank accounts of bona fide beneficiaries," Singh said.
Highlighting plans for alternate sources of energy, Singh said India aims to light up 20 million rural household by 2022 using solar power.

On the RECORD
Original post made by Hal Bailey, another community, on Jan 7, 2008
There is a new CD by Ms. Emma Rossum, the young star of the movie, Phantom of the Opera. It is fusion jazz, light opera and contempory pop all combined in the young lady's beautiful voice and rich orchestration.
If you are a fan of KKSF Smooth Jazz then you will like these very unique performances.

Dear Alamo neighbors,
You will find Emmy Rossum, Inside Out, at most major retailers including Wal-Mart here in Alamo. If you would like a sample of the music, log on to www.emmyrossum.com (geffen.com) and listen to my favorite, Rainy Days and Mondays.
Also, to listen to KKSF on-line, www.kksf.com/listenlive.html. You can hear KKSF playing most afternoons at city hall and all day in the reception rooms of our library. It seems our city webmaster is a fan.

Thank you Alamo neighbors for continuing our conversations,
I have a private recording, made in England, of Emmy Rossum singing several popular European hits including the Power of Love made popular in North America by Celine Deon. Michael Crawford also recorded the song, but my favorite is Nana Mouskouri's version.
The young, rich voice of Emmy adds to a unique voicing of the song and the comtemporary orchestration makes the song very today. I understand Celine and others have copyright claims so don't expect to see the song on a CD or in KKSF play soon.
My heart is still in Alamo IN although I now live in the Greater Chicago area. I appreciate being part of All things Alamo and Pop(u)lar.

I was hired as a freelance Technical Illustrator by MAG Turks for one of their Marketing vehicles concept they were doing. They explained the project to me explained what they wanted and what they were looking for and payment terms I would receive a check in mail. I gave the estimate on days the project would completed I gave them an estimate on hours it would take. Was told everything good I should go ahead. So end of Each day I would check and recheck constantly with the MAG trucks on the progress on the project. No problem. Then Upon completion on the set date I presented all the Technical Illustrations and pdf presentation along with my invoice, which was right near my estimated hours it would take. For some reason they were unhappy with the number of hours I spend on the illustrations I provided. This was confusing to me because before I even started I gave them estimate on how long in days and hours the project would take but they didnt have a problem with it. [continued below]....
Technically I should have never released all illustrations without payment first but I figured since this is a big company they wouldnt try to screw me.

You can get in from Cherry Ridge Road. East from Clinton Rd.(Lookover lake) or West from Canistear(after1st lake on right) Check the State Parks website.....some areas/trails may be closed due to the pipeline!!! I don't think the West gate(main rd.) is open in the winter. Or......Just use the main entrance from Warwick Tpk.
Not in this instance. Google and Bing maps both show the park to be much smaller than it is. For example they don't consider the park "natural areas" to be be included.google maps is your friend...
This is the map you want:
As always maps are not 100 % correct, but this is a very good one. Take a current street map of the area and lay it over this one. You can also get a road and trail map from the office at wawayanda.

Yes, you need to get the hunting map from the Wayway office. That map shows (rather crudely), the areas you're not supposed to hunt (I think next to Laurel Pond and some other areas). The whole park is not open to hunting so be careful.
Also, take advantage of Bearfort Mountain and AH State Forest. A LOT less hikers and bikers in those areas, although the terrain can be killer.
whats a natural area? hunting or not?
All of Canistear road is Watershed from 23 to Highland Lakes....you can enter the park via Cherry Ridge from Canistear road but that area has a ton of traffic and the pipeline guys built a "highway" there. I use to park on the pipeline and the hike into the watershed to hunt but now you can't even drive the cherry ridge trail past Cabin trail...its marked closed area. Once the pipeline guys are gone should be better next year.
I have often hunted 2 of the so called natural areas, but not recently. However when I did hunt there these places were refered to as "natural areas"whats a natural area? hunting or not?
What that map calls "Waywayanda Natural Area" I call "Cedar Swamp" I haven't hunted it for at least 10 years. It used to be you could park by County Road where intersects "Double Pond Trail". Since then the County road area had many new houses built there. The last I checked there is no longer a place too legally park. That area can be accessed if you park by the boat house or on Cherry Ridge road, but it is a long way to drag a deer.
The area they call "Waywayanda Hemlock Ravine Natural Area" I call "Moe Mountain". I have hunted there in the last 5 or so years. The problem with that is they started locking the gate on Warwick Tpk/Moe Road and do not open it early enough to get on stand. In addition to that they possibly could lock you in the park in the evening. (This gate problem also applies to parking by the boat house to get to Cedar Swamp.)
Both areas are otherwise good places to hunt. Deer are edge animals. Both places have an edge where thick cover meets open hardwood forest. I have taken many deer in these areas.
I never hunted the Bearfort Mountain area.

My dog refuses to poo outside. Any advice?
I have a 2-ish rescue dog in an apartment setting. He's around 35 lb. We go outside for potties and walks, and he's happy to pee outside (lots), but he refuses to poo outside, no matter how long we're outside. We had a successful period this winter, when there was snow on the ground, but as soon as it got too deep, he stopped pooing outside.
I've tried leaving his poo in the spot where I want him to poo, but we got in trouble with the apartment management company about it.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I did give up for a while and just covered the whole area he thinks of as his poo area with wee wee pads and let him do his business there. Unfortunately, that's a very fast way to go broke, and he doesn't always hit the pads.
Even when I see him sniffing and circling and take him outside and stand in the same spot for 20 minutes or so, he'll wait until we get inside and do his business there.
I'd really prefer not to get evicted over my dog and the pee smells and carpet stains!

eww. Get some enzymatic cleaner like nature's miracle and a black light. Give it all a thorough cleaning. You need to start from the beginning of potty training. NO POTTY PADS! You can use the kennel or tether the dog to you and watch him like a hawk, every 2 or 3 hrs (since he is older) take him outside and praise him for going potty outside and give him a treat. DO NOT go back inside immediately. Instead go for a nice walk to get things going. (bring a bag) If he poos he gets an extra special treat and LOTS of praise. Keep going (don't go immediately home). When you cannot watch him put him in his kennel. He should not have any opportunity to poop inside because you will be watching him!

I agree with Obi.
And lose the puppy pads for sure, to me it's just more confusing to let them go indoors and then try to teach outdoors.
Start again as if he were a puppy, like Obi said, and take care to clean the area's properly so his scent is not in the house anywhere!
When I was house training mine, my pup would refuse to go poop outside, but I found that while she was outside i would start a game with her to make her run around a whole bunch and it always worked, every time it worked it out of her

Breast Augmentation can enhance your appearance and help build your self-confidence and self esteem. The best candidates for breast augmentation are:
- Women, who are looking for improvement in their figure, are bothered by their feelings that their breasts are too small.
- Women who have small breasts or loss of breast volume following breast-feeding are typically good candidates for breast augmentation.
- Woman whose breasts have become smaller and lost their firmness after having children.
- One breast is noticeably smaller than the other.
- Weight loss has changed the shape and or size of your breast.
You should be in good physical condition and have realistic expectations to be a good candidate for the Los Angeles, CA procedure.
A breast implant is a silicone shell filled with a saltwater solution known as saline. If the implant leaks, the saline is absorbed into the body. This is the same as if the saline were given as an IV fluid. The method of inserting and positioning an implant is dependent upon factors based on the patient's anatomy that are discussed with Your doctor at the time of the consultation.
The incision can be placed in a number of different locations and every effort is made by your doctor to assure that the incision is placed so the resulting scars will be as inconspicuous as possible. After the incision is made, a pocket is created either under the breast tissue or under the pectoralis muscle. This pocket is made just large enough to accommodate the implant. The implant is then positioned to give the best cosmetic result.
Following surgery, detailed instructions are given to the patient as to post-operative care and activity. All information regarding implants is discussed with the patient at the time of surgery.

Date of Stay: January, 2010
Cons: 1. No cable, no internet 2. People don't pick up after their dogs. (Even though bags are readily available, I saw dog waste everywhere.) 3. Bathhouse is old and kind of gross, I wouldn't use it. The bathroom by the playground is super nice. 4. People drive way too fast even though the speed limit is posted at 10. (People were doing 20-30 at least so watch your kids/pets.) 5. People don't follow the one way loop and drive the wrong way, so watch out. Pros: 1. Great location. 2. Fun things to do on site-playground, fishing pier, beach area. 3. Close to many area attractions. 4. Staff is very helpful and friendly. We'd definitely stay here again, especially if we had a dish and air card.
Date of Stay: December, 2009
This is an excellent campground. I wish I had found this one before we stayed at the other KOA in Orlando. It's very clean with lots of amenities and a good price. Cons- 1) Close to the main road, so there is some traffic noise 2) You have to pay for Wi-Fi (but it is a decent connection) 3) The cable quality is pretty crappy and you don't get many channels Pros 1) Trash pickup at site 2) Very clean, nice bathrooms/showers. They even have family showers (with TVs!) so those of us with kids can take showers easily 3) Dog park! Our dogs and child loved running around in the off leash area with several toys for the dogs (only bad part is it is pretty small and with more than a few dogs would be very crowded) 4) The playground is a little old, but the perfect size for my toddler. 5) The store is actually a store and carries many things you might want/need (I've been to many that don't carry much beyond ice and sunblock) 6) Nice deluxe sites, ours had a fire pit. All of them are completely concreted, which is great for me because I'm allergic to fire ants. 7) The pool is open 24/7 and is heated and very nice. All in all, I'd definitely stay here again. The price is good, and you're so close to all of Orlando's attractions. It wasn't busy at all when we stayed here.
Date of Stay: December, 2009
I wish we would have had more time to find a different campsite or driven around before committing. We were planning on staying in the area for a few days, but we won't stay here again. Cons: 1. Advertises Wi-Fi but you have to pay for it. 2. Asked for a concrete pad because I'm allergic to ants, the manager said there were no ants in the park. Our pad and grass were covered with lots of ants and anthills. 3. Smells like poo due to sewage treatment plant. 4. Very, very crowded: the sites are so close to each other. 5. There is only one dumpster. 6. Lots of signs telling you to clean up after your dogs, but no bags made available to help you out; or trashcans along the way to put the bags in! 7. The laundry in front is really old and pretty gross. There are tow others, but I didn't check them out. Pros: 1. Price is decent and you get a Good Sam discount. 2. They have an ok rec-center with games, a library and free coffee. 3. Located close to some fun things like MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry). If you're just looking for a cheap place to stay for the night, it's fine. But if you're looking for a clean place with good amenities, this is not it!
Date of Stay: November, 2009
This is one of the best campgrounds we have stayed in! Cons: 1. Some of the sites are VERY slanted (don't take 24, you'll fall off your toilet) but most are pretty even. 2. There's no cable TV or internet. 3. The showers don't have much hot water. Pros: 1. Free fruit for the picking: lemons, oranges, etc. and they are yummy! 2. Concrete pads on all sites. 3. Very clean bathrooms and showers. 4. Very nice employees. 5. An awesome playground for the kids just a short bike ride away. 6. A children's farm, not a petting zoo! The caretaker is very friendly and well informed, and loves her job. The animals are all really neat and we really enjoyed seeing them: horses, cow, turkeys, roosters, pigs and more. 7. The price is amazing for what you get. 8. The sites aren't all crowded together and it's very shady. 9. It's really close to all the area attractions: five or so miles to malls, Universal studios, etc. We're planning on staying here on our way back home and would definitely stay here again. Would have given it a 10 if it had cable TV and internet.
Date of Stay: November, 2009
The 24 hour laundry is nice but expensive (1.75 for wash, 1.75 for dry) The showers are kind of creepy; they're individual rooms, and do not have very hot water. The playground is OK, but not great. The gravel road is not fantastic to walk on, especially with a kid. The concrete pads are as small as possible to let the RV park on it. There are a lot of fire ants, even though they said they treat for them regularly. The wi-fi is ridiculously slow, and they don't offer many cable channels. The sites are really packed in tight. I've heard complaints about the KOA we were staying in previously, but this is 10x worse. The rec room is nice, has free games and lots of room. It's not bad, but it's not worth the price. We're moving to a state park after one night here.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
We called ahead but they weren't taking reservations as they're renovating half of the campground. We were told to get there before dark and we could check in at the ranger station no problem. We got there well before dark and waited for 1.5 hours for the ranger to get back. The ranger was really rude about it as well. By that time it was full dark, so we had to set up in the pitch black (there are no lights out there) It was very irritating as we have a small child and pets. The ground was pretty uneven and overall, I'd never camp there again.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
The restrooms/showers are always sparkling clean, as is the pool. The employees are friendly and helpful. There are some full time people with nice sites, as well as some full time sites that are, not so nice. The Wi-Fi can be problematic at times, and it's hard to get help with it. They provide free cable TV from Brighthouse (which comes in great) so we just got a cable modem and use that instead. The playground is a nice bonus for those of us with kids. It's very shady, and they take care of fire ants pretty well. The mosquitoes can be really bad at times. The owner is friendly and willing to work out deals on rates if you're staying long term.

Hello everyone, I'm new (names Adam Brown) on the board and like Danny am on track to being a Ferrari mechanic. All your responses have been very informative, and I want to say thank to everyone and to Danny for asking the right questions. I do have a few of my own though, I'm currently attending Universal Technical Institute in Glendale Heights, IL, and I am trying to get an apprenticeship at a local Ferrari/Maserati dealership (Continental Motorsports). Im curious mostly with all b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t aside about how much yearly does a regular mechanic start at in a year my year basis? Example: Year 1/20,00k Year 2/50,000k Year 3/75,000k.
I really want to semi-specialize in engine building, but after reading this string of posts I understand that I may have to be a jack of all trades and just look for the engine related WO's when they come up. My story is, I've got a fiance, im 19 years old, going to school to learn a trade, and want to live a full (not rich just full) life, and not be so poor anymore (my bank account is still to this day -.95 cents haha). I know one of you (Dave I think) said that a Ferrari mechanic can buy a Ferrari on one's pay, but I'd like to know what that average is, just close and doesnt have to be to personal or anything. I've never been on a forum with such well spoken and knowledgable people. I'm definitily sticking around and learning everything I can from you guys and gals. Thanks again
Adam B
As far as the $$ a mechanic makes, a mechanic is worth as much as his boss or the industry of the cars he specializes in thinks he's worth. The more valuable he becomes to the boss, the more $$ he makes. Also the more knowledge he has of a particular auto manu., the more he makes. Because you work on Ferraris, doesn't necessarily mean you earn a lot more than the Toyota mechanic down the street. Flat rate labor schedules are a great thing for mechanics.
A good friend of mine could turn in over 100+ hours a week at times working on Mercedes Benz's because of the flat rate schedule for doing a specified item on that vehicle. Of course he went to school periodically (paid for by his employer) to learn new procedures for the new models and better procedures for the older ones also.
So my advice to you is if mechanics is your passion then learn as much as possible as you can about your trade by reading, watching, studying, and listening to others more experienced.
I've wanted to work on these cars since I was a little kid. I've got books, posters, games, and just general stuff everywhere in my house about these cars. I'm not in it for the money, but I have job offers from Porsche already and Ferrari here is thinking about extending one as well. I've read this whole page and have a good understanding how you guys feel about dealerships and schools and so on. I just want to work on cars. I do have a fiance, so because of that I want to give her a good life and do what I love at the same time, thats why I ask. I'm just curious is all. Thanks for the response.
Adam B
I didnt want to be the first to say it, but yea what a shop manager thinks your worth and all that is the b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t answers I was trying to avoid. I understand thats very true, but a better numeracle answer is kinda what I was looking for.
Adam B
Does Rifledriver still exist around here? I am interested in chatting with him about how he became a Ferrari Tech I can't PM him because I am too much of a noob
-Will L.
im a technician at honda. been there 2 years. Id love to work on ferraris but realize that it will prolly not happen unless i own one myself. Money can be made at dealerships of more commonly used cars. I dont make bank yet (as i started as a lube tech, and im not A level tech 2 years later). But we do have people in our shop making more then 100K a year. They work hard, dont take breaks, stay late, come early and have several years of experience. I also went to school and have BA in auto Technology. It just takes time. Time to learn the product, and time at the dealer to gain trust from management to give you the deserved raises. Just follow your dreams and work hard and good things will come.

Very interesting thread. Wish I could read faster. I agree the most important aspect in any profession in to understand the basics/theory. I was a machinist for 15 years then for the past 14 years have been a physical therapist. In both professions you cannot know every possible challenge. But with being able to fall back on the understanding of the how it works and why it works you can come up with a strategy to solve the problem. After that it becomes the desire of the individual to become the best. There are numerous people in all walks of life that will just do the bare minimum to do their job. This is not how one gains respect from the customers/patients/coworkers or yourself. Whatever you choose to do in life do it to the highest level allowed and you will be able to hang your head high and eventually enjoy showing your Ferrari to a 5 year old little girl whose father has come up to you at a gas station stating his daughter's favorite car is a Ferrari.
Being a mechanic is a great hobby and a *****ty job. Even with f-cars (unless it is your own) it gets old pretty quick.
Got to blink as I read your statement - but, I understand that you are coming from a body of experiences. But not everybody involved in this Ferrari repair business had experiences similar to yours.
There are a number of names, and a couple, not mentioned in this thread, that would never say "it's a ****ty job". Yes, they will cuss at a stuck stud - - but they will win that simple battle. But, "a ****ty job" - - - - nah...... they love it - the challenge - the war, if you will !!! It's their journey - thru the straights, curves and chicanes of dealing with those amazing exotics.
If working on an Fcar is "****ty", I'll be the first to buy a framing hammer for the individual that feels that emotion - - but, I really don't want him to build my house.
Ahh, what the hey,

Pardon Me. All due respect to our fellow f-mechanics and f-tinkerers. I had a extremely bad day with those stuck nuts you mentioned and broke some stuff that I wa supposed to be fixing.
Before I went to Hunter Engineering, I was a Toyota tech for 5 years. If you want to blow and go and have a good drive and want to make good money, go work for Honda and Toyota. If you truly have a passion for exotics and Ferrari's I would persue it. If I can give you any advise, yeah pay attention in whatever school your going to and learn the basics. I've seen nothing but trash come out of tech schools and the guys don't know how to do anything but swap parts. My advise to you is to find a guy that's willing like Rifledriver that knows Ferraris like the back of their hand and apprentice with them. You will learn more with a guy like him than any school could ever teach you.
And BTW Rifledriver, I second the thanks for the knowledge you put on this forum, I follow most of your threads and they have helped me out tremdously!
Tech Wages and opportunities
We own several Subaru Service Centers and our techs are all top line guys. We have tried "school learned" techs and for the most part they did not make the cut. While they could spout all the technical jargon inside and out, they were totaly unable to diagnos their way out of the bathroom.
I just looked at our techs w-2 forms for 2009. We pay our techs flatrate based on the times published by the factory. Our least expierenced tech has 8 years of factory training plus over $60 grand in tools. Our most expierenced tech is a 23 year master senior Subaru tech with all factory certifacations.
The 8 year tech made $77,000 for 2009, the 23 year tech was well in access of $100,000 for 2009. The rest were in between those numbers. Keep in mind all techs have a huge investment in tools and test equipment. We pay for all training or schooling they wish to take. This is a great investment for both them and us. Now We only hire apprentices and then we grow our own.
I'm guessing there are a lot of Ferrari owners that don't make 77 grand a year. so I would say if you are good and if you can do quality work in a timely manor, you could afford a Ferrari after a few good years in the trade.
I would suggest you find a hi end quality shop, not necessairly a dealer, and beg for a chance to start at the bottom and work your way up the ladder. Your best bet would be to apprentice at the elbow of a senior master tech and keep your mouth shut and listen. These seniors have seen it and done it all and just go about their work with a minimal amount of effort and huge amount of knowlege. You will learn far more by watching and listening than any school program you can find. Keep in mind these schools are funded in part by the Government and there is a huge amount of profit to the school wether you lean anything or not. In my opinion these schools are a scam that really does not prepare you to be a good tech. There are the exceptions but for the most part, you are waisting your time and money.

Ferrari Tech
I can speak from experience not with ferrari cars but with other marques. I decided as a young boy to become an automotive tech (mechanic) in the UK. I went to a few local dealerships and asked if they were offering apprenticeship positions for the upcoming year. I was asked to interview and was accepted as an apprentice which is the lowest of the lowest of the low. General duties include sweeping, emptying trash, generally being belittled at every oportunity by the more senior apprentices and the techs. Then in my case I was assigned a master tech who I worked under and learned from. The tech you get assigned to is your teacher and you learn from him/her and really you want to have a well seasoned tech with a wealth of experience.
Once you have built up some experience you are trusted with smaller less involved jobs and your work is checked by others and if Ok'd you will continue to be given jobs ever increasing in difficulty, therefore increasing your confidence and experience level. This in my case went on for the 3 yr duration of my apprenticeship. I then graduated that and went on to complete an HND in Automotive Engineering and Management.
Mechanics I feel in the States are far more respected and valued than those in the UK having seen from both sides of the fence the wages and working conditions from the UK and the US.
This is just a brief snapshot of my personal experience (many many yrs ago) as an aprentice in the automotive field and the B/S you have to deal with is just putting your time in as many have done before you and many will after you. If you do it right and get in with a great franchise I dont think its a bad gig at all.
Good luck

Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners
At Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners we integrate creativity and realism in our approach to urban design that forms part of our overall town planning consultancy services for both private and public sector clients.
We undertake masterplanning of new neighbourhoods and major urban extensions, establishing the redevelopment potential of sensitive and challenging urban sites, and facilitating positive community engagement. Our illustrative masterplans and detailed plans - often supporting planning applications - are based on a thorough understanding of context, best practice and consultation.
Each project is critically examined to identify where NLP's urban designers can add value for our clients and to aid communication and understanding between clients, stakeholders and the wider community.
A flexible and inclusive approach, including consultation, means that we engage in dialogue with the community and built environment professionals alike.
Our design skills and analytical abilities are applied in many situations:
- Townscape and Visual Impact assessment forms an integral part of our input to Environmental Statements, for developments in sensitive urban or rural sites.
- Our experience of heritage and associated design issues spans from the local to internationally recognised heritage assets: we provide design advice, input to planning applications and presenting expert evidence at public inquiries.
- Daylight and sunlight analysis enables development to be accurately modelled and tested, guiding proposals for complex urban sites.
'The design team at NLP bring a creative approach to the master planning of our sites as well as ensuring the schemes are realistic and implementable. Combining this with their planning, graphics and economic work has resulted in first class planning applications.'

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'll jump off the bridge and show my "hopeful" restoration of my Singer fiddlebase cabinet top. Glenn has been helping me along with it. In the beginning it has no finish, so I had to start at the filthy wood and work my way back. I love the oil stain on it that shows where a big round blade has been laid on it and left its greasy outline. Such stories this old girl could tell.
First picture is as she was found, then glueing her back together, before lots and lots of cleaning with denatured alcohol and finally sanded and ready for staining(when my ordered stain arrives).
Texas Jan
BTW Glenn, I forwarded your information to DH, and he called to tell me he was at the hardware store to get stuff to work on my cabinet. So, we may have pics to put up by tomorrow!!
The irons I recently got for my Davis VF are Decorah-Posten, and when I Googled it, I found out that Decorah-Posten was a Norwegian immigrant established newspaper in Minnesota in the 1880s. To boost subscriptions, he had a sewing machine manufacturer badge some machines, and an iron maker make the irons with Decorah-Posten name. Subscribers could buy the treadle machines for $2 down and $1 a month for a total of $26. Intriguing, no???
Glenn, I too have made some of the spool pin covers. I gave some away the other day and she liked them.
Quilting with a friend keeps me in stitches.

Single Moms in Corporate America
Whenever Renee Massoud is preparing to head out of town on business, she takes a few minutes to do some "homework." A single parent and director of research strategies at consulting firm KPMG in New Jersey, Massoud jots several notes to her four-year-old daughter, who discovers one each day at breakfast while her mom is away. One message might ask her preschooler to count how many days until Massoud returns. Another might be stuck in a geography book to show mom's whereabouts. On one early-morning trip to Boston, Massoud remembered while boarding the plane that she'd forgotten to leave a note and scrambled to phone her live-in nanny before her daughter awoke. A stash of stickers at the house saved the day -- along with the explanation that Mommy hadn't left a missive because she would be back in time for dinner.
Single moms and dads run 11.9 million families in the U.S., an increase of 73% since 1980. Single mothers -- divorced, widowed, or never married -- account for some 9.8 million of that total. And more and more of them are juggling play dates with business trips. In 1985, only 522,000 women who headed families with kids under 18 had a bachelor's degree or higher, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By 1998, the most recent year for which data are available, that figure had jumped 79%, to 938,000. That's a far greater percentage increase than for the number of single moms with kids under 18 who completed only high school: That number rose 6% -- to 2.7 million -- from 1985 to 1998.
Moreover, as their ranks have expanded, single mothers who hold college degrees have started to take their place in Corporate America. Of never-married moms aged 15 to 44, for example, 13.5% held managerial and professional positions in 1998, according to the Census Bureau, up from 8.9% in 1990.
Single-mother professionals have to balance work and family just like any parent. But unlike married women -- who can sometimes choose whether or not to punch in at the office after having a child -- single moms usually don't have an alternative short of going on government aid. In 1999, some 49% of married mothers worked full-time, according to Joan Williams, professor of law at American University and author of Unbending Gender: Why Family and Work Conflict and What to Do About It (Oxford University Press, 1999). By contrast, 71% of divorced moms, who make up two-thirds of all single mothers, held full-time positions. "There's a clash between two social ideals," Williams says. "The ideal worker, who has the life patterns of a man, and the ideal of family members caring for children. Married working mothers solve the clash by cutting back on their hours. Most single moms can't."
Just ask Dr. Christina Zarowsky, senior scientific adviser for health at the International Development Research Center (IDRC), a nonprofit organization established by the Canadian government in Ottawa. Zarowsky, 40, holds a medical degree, a master's in public health from Harvard University, and a master's and soon-to-be-completed doctorate in anthropology from Montreal's McGill University. In 1996, while doing fieldwork in Africa, she adopted a Somali baby and returned to Canada as a single parent. Her work at IDRC requires extensive overseas travel, usually two to three weeks at a time, every other month. Zarowsky, who has been single all her life and says she can't afford a live-in nanny, still hasn't hatched a clear strategy for caring for her daughter, now 5, when she's called out of the country. Sometimes her mother baby-sits; sometimes her daughter tags along. "I keep hoping to travel less," she says.
That's a sentiment shared by many harried business travelers, whether they have kids or not. But for single parents, business travel and other routine demands of a corporate career -- including overtime and interoffice transfers -- can turn life upside down. A hastily called meeting by the boss at 5 p.m., for instance, could mean a frantic plea to an ex-spouse, an empathetic neighbor -- just about anyone -- to pick up a child from day care.
"I don't know what other single mothers without flexibility do," says Carrie Coghill, president of financial-planning company D.B. Root & Co. in Pittsburgh and the divorced single mom of 11-year-old Kelli. "When you're married, you work at it together and don't feel so much pressure." Coghill got divorced in 1993 while employed at another financial-planning business. She co-founded D.B. Root the following year, mainly because she was unsatisfied at her job. But the thought that running a business might give her more flexibility in raising Kelli was also "in the back of my mind," she says. Instead of someone dictating which 12 hours she worked every day, she could set them herself.
Indeed, bending your life to fit an organization's needs is much more difficult for single moms, says Deborah Merrill-Sands, co-director of the Center for Gender in Organizations at Simmons College in Boston. Single parents "have to come up with very innovative ways to make it work."
Such as asking your immediate family to parachute in. For a year while Lorena Gonzalez was a senior policy adviser in Sacramento for California Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, she had her retired dad living with her and flew her mom up every other week from San Diego to help out with her young daughter, Tierra. Now the director of Bustamante's regional office in San Diego, the 29-year-old single mom relies on her parents to pick up Tierra, 5, from preschool every afternoon. Gonzalez, who has a law degree from UCLA as well as degrees from Georgetown and Stanford, opted not to marry Tierra's father in part because he didn't want her to work. "I had all this education," she says. "I wanted to use it."
Other single professional women feel the same pull. In a study of 55 single moms, most of them college graduates, sociology professor Rosanna Hertz at Wellesley College found many considered themselves workaholics before they decided to have kids. To a large extent, their jobs filled the void of family life. That dedication worked to the advantage of some once they became single parents. Since they'd established themselves as indispensable employees, they were able to arrange for flexible work schedules. Even so, many in the study felt crunched between work and family, and made tough trade-offs, Hertz says. Some declined promotions or high-profile assignments to preserve time with their children.
At least these people had the chance to say no. Some organizations, experts say, may assume single-mom staffers can't handle new duties because of the responsibilities they're shouldering at home. "Enlightened people will say, 'Oh, she's great -- she can juggle both.' But others may ask, 'Will she put in the time?'" says organizational psychologist Virginia Schein at Gettysburg College and once a single mom herself.
Coghill from Pittsburgh didn't let false assumptions breed about her at work. When she was going through her divorce, she approached her boss at the financial-planning company and told him she felt ready to take on her own clients instead of only assisting colleagues with theirs. Her boss frowned on the idea, but Coghill persisted, telling him she would quit if he didn't give her a chance. He grudgingly relented, and Coghill excelled in her new role. Still, the incident diminished her loyalty to the company - and ultimately, she left. "As a single mom, you need stability, so you may be more likely to let a company dictate your career path," she says. "But you've got to stand up for yourself."

Mahalia Jackson – Everytime I Feel the Spirit (1961/2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96kHz | Time – 48:25 minutes | 895 MB | Genre: Jazz, Gospel
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download – Source: Qobuz | Front Cover | © Columbia – Legacy
General critical consensus holds Mahalia Jackson as the greatest gospel singer ever to live; a major crossover success whose popularity extended across racial divides, she was gospel's first superstar, and even decades after her death remains, for many listeners, a defining symbol of the music's transcendent power. With her singularly expressive contralto, Jackson continues to inspire the generations of vocalists who follow in her wake; among the first spiritual performers to introduce elements of blues into her music, she infused gospel with a sensuality and freedom it had never before experienced, and her artistry rewrote the rules forever. Born in one of the poorest sections of New Orleans on October 16, 1911, Jackson made her debut in the children's choir of the Plymouth Rock Baptist Church at the age of four, and within a few years was a prominent member of the Mt. Moriah Baptist's junior choir. Raised next door to a sanctified church, she was heavily influenced by their brand of gospel, with its reliance on drums and percussion over piano; another major inspiration was the blues of Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey.

As Illinois House lawmakers prepare to
debate a gay marriage bill, a new poll shows support at an all-time
According to a Crain's
Chicago Business/Ipsos
Illinois Poll released Tuesday, most Illinois residents favor
passage of the proposed legislation.
Of the 600 adults surveyed, 50 percent
said they support the marriage equality bill, while 29 percent said
they remain oppose. Another twenty percent said they did not know or
had mixed feelings on the subject.
Support is strongest in Chicago, with
56 percent in favor. A majority (52%) of suburban residents also
approve. But only 48 percent of those living outside the Chicago
metropolitan area support the measure's passage.
A majority (51%) of those opposed cited
religious beliefs for opposing marriage equality.
Over the past two-and-a-half years,
support has increased from 34 percent in 2010 to 44 percent in
September of last year, according to polls by Southern Illinois
University's Simon Public Policy Institute.
The measure cleared the Senate last
Thursday, Valentine's Day. And House lawmakers are expected to begin
debate on Wednesday.

Mathematics is beautiful--and it can be fun and exciting as well as practical. Good Math is your guide to some of the most intriguing topics from two thousand years of mathematics: from Egyptian fractions to Turing machines; from the real meaning of numbers to proof trees, group symmetry, and mechanical computation. If you've ever wondered what lay beyond the proofs you struggled to complete in high school geometry, or what limits the capabilities of computer on your desk, this is the book for you.
Why do Roman numerals persist? How do we know that some infinities are larger than others? And how can we know for certain a program will ever finish? In this fast-paced tour of modern and not-so-modern math, computer scientist Mark Chu-Carroll explores some of the greatest breakthroughs and disappointments of more than two thousand years of mathematical thought. There is joy and beauty in mathematics, and in more than two dozen essays drawn from his popular "Good Math" blog, you'll find concepts, proofs, and examples that are often surprising, counterintuitive, or just plain weird.
Mark begins his journey with the basics of numbers, with an entertaining trip through the integers and the natural, rational, irrational, and transcendental numbers. The voyage continues with a look at some of the oddest numbers in mathematics, including zero, the golden ratio, imaginary numbers, Roman numerals, and Egyptian and continuing fractions. After a deep dive into modern logic, including an introduction to linear logic and the logic-savvy Prolog language, the trip concludes with a tour of modern set theory and the advances and paradoxes of modern mechanical computing.
If your high school or college math courses left you grasping for the inner meaning behind the numbers, Mark's book will both entertain and enlighten you.
Mark Chu-Carroll is a PhD computer scientist and professional software engineer. His professional interests include collaborative software development, programming languages and tools, and how to improve the daily lives of software developers. Aside from general geekery and blogging, he plays classical music on the clarinet, traditional Irish music on the wooden flute, and folds elaborate structures out of paper.

A non-geek point of view
By Paul
from Stockton, CA
Comments about oreilly Good Math:
I am not a mathematician. I am not a programer. I am perhaps less of a geek than I thought. My introduction to the term "set theory" did not occur until after high school nearly 50 years ago; and calculus has remained for me some incomprehensible higher concept, seemingly of no particular use to me. Mr. Chu-Carroll makes the claim in his preface "I've tried to write it so that it's accessible to anyone with a basic highschool background in math." For me, he delivered, albeit with no small effort on my part. Mr. Chu-Carroll also states that "This isn't a book that you need to read cover-to-cover. Each chapter is mostly stand-alone." Perhaps for those with more recent or advanced experience than mine that is true. I read everything cover-to-cover, it is what I do with books regardless of type; nor do I feel comfortable reviewing something I have not read completely through. For me (see above parameters) that is probably best because the material on set theory went far beyond the level I was exposed to, much less that which I actually remember. That was helpful to me further on in the book, which follows the historical development of math in a rather abridged format (although including several pointers to additional sources for the curious). When I did reach the chapters on calculus, the lights started coming on. Calculus is not a single entity, who knew? Well, probably any semi-serious math student, but not I. "Functional programming languages like Haskell, Scala, and even Lisp are so strongly based in lambda calculus that they're just alternative syntaxes for pure lambda calculus. Lambda calculus is largely the basis for several programing languages." Ah, I have a distant nodding acquaintance with Lisp through my use of AutoCAD, now this is getting interesting. My rudimentary understanding of how and why the world of computing works has received a significant boost that is well worth my efforts to read through this book. Recommended for those who are curious.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If Women Ran the World
If you follow the Grumpy Gardener on Twitter, you know last night I faced a horrible dilemma — take my wife out to a romantic birthday dinner or stay home and watch "Monday Night Football." Some devil-may-care followers suggested I take her out and just tape the game. Right! You just know we'd have a power outage. So I did what any sensible yet sensitive Grump would do — I took her to a romantic sport's bar.
Bummer! The Ravens-Browns game was SO boring. (God must hate people in Cleveland. First, they have a horrible team and then they have to live in Cleveland.) Oh, WHY couldn't her birthday have been the night before, when Peyton Manning led the Colts to a miraculous comeback victory over the universally despised New England Patriots! But no. After watching a scoreless first half, there was only one thing left for us to do, the one thing all real men hate. Talk.
And that brought us to the subject of her birthday card. Enjoy, ladies.
Fortunately, women do not run the world, because if they did, we'd have no wars, no pollution, no crime, no buffalo heads on walls, no "Extreme Toenail Fungus" on "Modern Marvels," no Levi Johnston, and no clothing-optional Monday morning staff meetings. The world's economy would immediately collapse.
What Women's Rule Might Mean for Gardening
Female domination of the world would inevitably lead to female domination of the garden. This has implications so terrifying that watching "2012" while actually paying attention to the plot would pale by comparison. Here are just a few of the Grump's predictions.
1. Women would seize control of the mower, blower, and beer and force us to mop, fold, dust, and put away.
2. Mindless collections of dwarf conifers, hostas, camellias, orchids, and Japanese maples would be outlawed.
3. Men could no longer excuse their odious smell by saying, "I've been working in the yard."
4. There'd be no more little red Japanese bridges sitting in the middle of the lawn with a river of white rocks running beneath them.
5. Gardens would be designed to look just like rooms. You know, pretty.
6. Men would have to prepare little fruit salads and mimosas for when the girls have book club meetings in the garden.
7. Men could no longer leave an old tire or flue liner in the middle of the garden for 6 months while they think of a use for it.
8. Men could no longer relieve themselves in the garden even if the neighbors can't see.
Wait, It Gets Worse
But it wouldn't stop there. Once women dominate the Earth, they'll extend their hegemony to the solar system. Venus will get an Extreme Makeover. Mars will get new curtains.
Men, we can't let this happen. It's time we end this permissive era once and for all and give women what they really want — a life of servitude. If we don't, you'd better get ready for your annual man-o-gram.

Zachys just landed another 90 point Wine Advocate rated Spanish value, perfect for summer entertaining.
Always a stickler for quality and an ardent supporter for the unsung varietals of the world, Neal Martin's review of the Bobal deSanjuan Viticultors de San Juan 2011 sings the praises of the Bobal grape, showing that light-bodied reds can serve up serious depth of flavor and complexity, without weighing down the palate - in other words, PERFECT SUMMER WINE:
"The nose is well defined with pressed flowers, crushed stone and a touch of balsamic. The palate is fresh and natural with good acidity, hints of mulberry and briary fruit with a very cool, Rhone-like finish that is pure and focused. This is a bright, breezy Bobal that is very well made...90." WA 10/12.
"This is a bright, breezy Bobal" and it offers up an excellent, super-value example of the fresh fruit-forward character of Bobal (think Beaujolais from Spain) that still packs a punch big enough to stand up to the grill this summer. (I'm drinking mine with steak and grilled Portobello caps).
Coming in at just $12.99 per bottle, the Bobal deSanjuan is a no-brainer for summer nights with friends and family. Light up the grill and coast through the summer with "Bright, breezy" Bobal deSanJuan.
All My Best, Andrew

Home ⋅ Graduation Party Invitations & Graduation Cards ⋅ White ⋅ Red ⋅ Flat
"With last minute changes for my son's graduation reception, we rushed to configure an invitation. These were goof-proof even for a rookie and already there have been tons of compliments on their appearance. They are great framework for showing off the grads personality through multiple pictures. Tiny Prints is the new secret weapon for Senior parents!"
"We put a sports action shot on the top and his senior pic on the bottom. We chose the glossy finish. It was not too shiny but more attractive in my opinion than the matte ones we have received. It looked very "put together" and classy but not too stuffy! It reflected my son's and our families personality perfectly. Service was spectacular and the whole process was simple to follow and user friendly!! Will always order here in the future."
"I was pleased that there were so many color options in this style. I chose red, which worked well with the colors in my photos. The process of creating the graduation invitation was amazingly easy. It took me about 10 minutes to make a beautiful graduation party invitation. One of my photos was a bit lighter than the other two, but was the same intensity when the invitations arrived. Someone did a wonderful job matching the intensity. I have received so many compliments about the invitation!"
"Great card for color options as well as a nice collage picture assortment. Having an option to add a picture to the back is a huge plus! Love the rounded corner option too."
"The cards turned out better than we expected. Quality of the paper was superb. Rounded corners made the card look so professional and ellegant. Loved the choice of putting images on the back of the card which was a fun way to display our "fun" pictures."

Did the horsemeat scandal change our habits?
A year after the horsemeat scandal first hit the headlines, there are still concerns about the origin of some food in the UK.
A study by the consumer organisation Which? found that in some areas, local authorities had not carried out any hygiene tests on food served in places like restaurants, schools and hospitals.
But, as Breakfast's Tim Muffett reports, the impact of the scandal on our eating habits may be softening.

Chinese kung fu kids guard against school attacks
By K.J. Kwon
BEIJING (Reuters) - Parents in Beijing are taking no chances over the safety of their children after a series of attacks on schoolchildren frightened and angered China.
A growing number of parents have turned to self-defense classes for children more used to wielding electronic games than their fists.
Six times since March, angry and apparently deranged men have attacked Chinese schoolchildren with knives and, in one case, a hammer, killing 27 people and injuring more than 80. Officials have vowed to "strike hard" against the problem and schools have added security guards, but many parents think that's not enough.
Admissions to kung fu schools in Beijing have risen by at least 20 percent since April, China state media reported.
At the Changzhen Kongfu school near Beijing's university district, more than a dozen 7- to 12-year-old children were learning martial arts techniques meant to help them escape potential danger.
"There have been many changes recently. Before, only one to two students will come to consult, but since last week, we have received about 30 inquiries," said Zhang Xiaohang, the chief kung fu instructor at the school.
"A lot of parents register their children for the self-defense class as soon as they arrive, without hesitation. Parents are putting much more emphasis on children's safety."
Zhang now teaches about 10 classes per week and instructs more than 60 kids. Continued...
