New dishwasher needs power supply.
Im installing a new dishwasher at home and noticed there is no power suply behind the counter so i`ll need to run power.
In the basement there is an receptacle on the wall right below where the diswasher will be. I don't use that outlet.
So my question is could I take the power from that outlet and run the cable thru the floor to my dishwasher? (120v dw) I know ther recomment runing the power directly from the breaker panel but I don't think there is any room left in the panel for a dedicated breaker.
I think it might just be another receptacle (TV and Playstation only) and a small ceiling light.
But I will confirm when I get home tonight. I need to remove the plastic tarp over the insulation to see where the wires go.
Dishwashers draw power. Check the kilowatt rating on the nameplate on the DW. It should read something close to 1.5 kilowatts. That's a decent size load. I would advise you to run a dedicated 20 amp circuit from your main electrical panel.
I agree. A 20A dedicated circuit is what I am using.
Try to find other circuits that can be combined to free up space in your panel.
Just want to add that the installation manual says:
You must have:
120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp., fused electrical
If a 15 amp breaker is good that must mean the dishwasher doesn't take up that much power. (I will check tonight on the dw itself) Sounds much more efficient then older models.
The only information on the power usage of the DW is a sticker on the motor that says 120V 2.3 amps. No where does it say Kilowatts. Only on the EnergyStar sticker that says 350KWH/Year.
There is 3 recepticles and one ceiling light that I would like to chare the cuircuit with. The 3 receptacles together will never have more then a TV on it.
Depending on your hot water temperature, and what setting it is on, the DW's own heater may or may not automatically turn on.
I believe my DW states 12A @ 120V. It was on a 15A breaker before I ran a dedicated 20A to it.
Thanks for your help everybody. I will hook it up to a shared circuit with the recpetacle for now since the basement isn't even finished yet so all the power will only be used by the DW and nothing else. When I finish my basement and set up a TV and what not, I will then give it a dedicated 20amp. For now I don't feel comfortable playing in the breaker panel and I can't really afford the electrician.
Thanks again.

I think we should stay away from strange places way over there,
Where they seem to have a war a week that they never declare,
But one group or the other always wants assistance,
And they need this help, they say, for their very existence.
And we should sent soldiers to help one side or the other now,
It doesn't matter how much this costs or even if it's allowed,
Or how many soldiers are killed for some worthy UN cause,
Dead bodies on the Highway of Heroes just because.
But we have no referendums or control of what Ottawa does,
As we watch and wait in the distance for the latest buzz,
And we can't fix their system though some say that we can,
And going to war could be beneficial so no need for a ban.

I live to annoy and confuse the quilt police so do any of you here do the same?
If so what have you done to annoy them?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I live to annoy and confuse the quilt police so do any of you here do the same?
If so what have you done to annoy them?
I don't give the quilt police any thought.
I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health - Voltaire
Life's too short to worry about it. If somebody's annoyed it's their problem not mine.
Why would anyone spend their time dreaming up ways to intentionally annoy someone?
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
I think anyone who has to "nick-pick" anything that is sewn from the heart, with love, deserves to be annoyed!!!! Do you really change your needle every 6 hrs? Do you have that perfect 1/4 in. seam? Sometimes "snobs" need to be put in their place.
I start out with a pattern and it changes into a "freestyle" because I can't (apparently) cut a straight line or sew a straight 1/4" seam so I always end up with "A Sunnye"!!!!!
I've never had the chance to annoy the QP (most people, I know, are awed by anything handmade) but have had a bit of fun, with other pompous donkeys.
By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
~Richard Dawkins
I thought all the quilt police were stuck in my county!
Just passing through!
The quilt police would probably have a fatal case of laughter and have to be taken straight to the graveyard if they came into my house. And if they didn't die laughing at me, I would probably roll on the floor laughing at them. I think they are ridiculous anyway. I have much the same attitude toward rules in quilt making as Wassily Kandinsky had about painting.

Hi everyone,
Bought our first BMW a few months ago and love it even though it has been leaking oil like sieve. It's been in and out of the local garage and now it's been to our local BMW dealer to get it sorted. Time will tell if the BMW dealer can sort it out after I told them were the oil was coming from.
A little history for those that might want to know. I live in New Zealand and have had a few 'boy racer' cars in the past one being a Mazda 323 and a Mazda Lantis (or known as a Mazda 323F in the UK). I've also had a 1994 Subaru WRX that was worked and produced about 198Kw at all 4 wheels, with that I was doing about 4.8sec 0-100.
Anyway, the BMW I have is a 2004 E46 318i 2L. I say it's my BMW but if I was to tell you the truth I bought it for the wife so that makes it her car. So with that my boy racer days are over and just as well because I'm getting to old for that.
Anyway, I might chat to some of you at some stage, until then see you.

Bactroban OintmentPronunciation
Generic Name: mupirocin
Dosage Form: ointment
Indications and Usage for Bactroban Ointment
BACTROBAN® ointment is indicated for the topical treatment of impetigo due to susceptible isolates of Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) and Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes).
Bactroban Ointment Dosage and Administration
- •
- For Topical Use Only.
- •
- Apply a small amount of Bactroban Ointment, with a cotton swab or gauze pad, to the affected area 3 times daily for up to 10 days.
- •
- Cover the treated area with gauze dressing if desired.
- •
- Re-evaluate patients not showing a clinical response within 3 to 5 days.
- •
- Bactroban Ointment is not for intranasal, ophthalmic, or other mucosal use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.6)].
- •
- Do not apply Bactroban Ointment concurrently with any other lotions, creams or ointments [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Dosage Forms and Strengths
Each gram of Bactroban Ointment contains 20 mg mupirocin in a water-miscible ointment base supplied in 22-gram tubes.
Bactroban Ointment is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to mupirocin or any of the excipients of Bactroban Ointment.
Warnings and Precautions
Severe Allergic Reactions
Systemic allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, urticaria, angioedema, and generalized rash have been reported in patients treated with formulations of BACTROBAN, including Bactroban Ointment [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].
Eye Irritation
Avoid contact with the eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse well with water.
Local Irritation
In the event of a sensitization or severe local irritation from Bactroban Ointment, usage should be discontinued, and appropriate alternative therapy for the infection instituted.
Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.
C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin-producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial drug use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over 2 months after the administration of antibacterial agents.
If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibacterial drug use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
Potential for Microbial Overgrowth
As with other antibacterial products, prolonged use of Bactroban Ointment may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible microorganisms, including fungi [see Dosage and Administration (2)].
Risk Associated with Mucosal Use
Bactroban Ointment is not formulated for use on mucosal surfaces. Intranasal use has been associated with isolated reports of stinging and drying. A separate formulation, BACTROBAN® (mupirocin calcium) nasal ointment, is available for intranasal use.
Risk of Polyethylene Glycol Absorption
Polyethylene glycol can be absorbed from open wounds and damaged skin and is excreted by the kidneys. In common with other polyethylene glycol-based ointments, Bactroban Ointment should not be used in conditions where absorption of large quantities of polyethylene glycol is possible, especially if there is evidence of moderate or severe renal impairment.
Risk Associated with Use at Intravenous Sites
Bactroban Ointment should not be used with intravenous cannulae or at central intravenous sites because of the potential to promote fungal infections and antimicrobial resistance.
Adverse Reactions
The following adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling:
- •
- Severe Allergic Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
- •
- Eye Irritation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- •
- Local Irritation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
- •
- Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The following local adverse reactions were reported by at least 1% of subjects in connection with the use of Bactroban Ointment in clinical trials: burning, stinging, or pain in 1.5% of subjects; itching in 1% of subjects. Rash, nausea, erythema, dry skin, tenderness, swelling, contact dermatitis, and increased exudate were reported in less than 1% of subjects.
Postmarketing Experience
In addition to adverse reactions reported from clinical trials, the following reactions have been identified during postmarketing use of Bactroban Ointment. Because they are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of frequency cannot be made. These reactions have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of their seriousness, frequency of reporting, or potential causal relationship to Bactroban Ointment.
Immune System Disorders
Systemic allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, urticaria, angioedema, and generalized rash [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Pregnancy Category B.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Bactroban Ointment in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Developmental toxicity studies have been performed with mupirocin administered subcutaneously to rats and rabbits at doses up to 160 mg per kg per day in both species. This dose is 22 and 43 times, respectively, the human topical dose (approximately 60 mg mupirocin per day) based on body surface area. There was no evidence of fetal harm due to mupirocin.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Bactroban Ointment is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of Bactroban Ointment have been established in the age range of 2 months to 16 years. Use of Bactroban Ointment in these age-groups is supported by evidence from adequate and well‑controlled trials of Bactroban Ointment in impetigo in pediatric subjects studied as a part of the pivotal clinical trials [see Clinical Studies (14)].
Bactroban Ointment Description
BACTROBAN (mupirocin) ointment, 2% contains the RNA synthetase inhibitor antibacterial, mupirocin. The chemical name is (E)-(2S,3R,4R,5S)-5-[(2S,3S,4S,5S)-2,3-epoxy-5-hydroxy-4-methylhexyl]tetrahydro-3,4-dihydroxy-β-methyl-2H-pyran-2-crotonic acid, ester with 9‑hydroxynonanoic acid. The molecular formula of mupirocin is C26H44O9, and the molecular weight is 500.6. The chemical structure is:
Figure 1. Structure of Mupirocin
Each gram of Bactroban Ointment, 2% contains 20 mg mupirocin in a water-miscible ointment base (polyethylene glycol ointment, N.F.) consisting of polyethylene glycol 400 and polyethylene glycol 3350.
Bactroban Ointment - Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Mupirocin is an RNA synthetase inhibitor antibacterial [see Microbiology (12.4)].
Application of 14C-labeled mupirocin ointment to the lower arm of normal male subjects followed by occlusion for 24 hours showed no measurable systemic absorption (less than 1.1 nanogram mupirocin per milliliter of whole blood). Measurable radioactivity was present in the stratum corneum of these subjects 72 hours after application.
The effect of the concurrent application of Bactroban Ointment with other drug products has not been studied [see Dosage and Administration (2)].
In a trial conducted in 7 healthy adult male subjects, the elimination half-life after intravenous administration of mupirocin was 20 to 40 minutes for mupirocin and 30 to 80 minutes for monic acid.
Metabolism: Following intravenous or oral administration, mupirocin is rapidly metabolized. The principal metabolite, monic acid, demonstrates no antibacterial activity.
Excretion: Monic acid is predominantly eliminated by renal excretion.
Special Populations
Renal Impairment: The pharmacokinetics of mupirocin have not been studied in individuals with renal insufficiency.
Mupirocin is an RNA synthetase inhibitor antibacterial produced by fermentation using the organism Pseudomonas fluorescens.
Mechanism of Action
Mupirocin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by reversibly and specifically binding to bacterial isoleucyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase.
Mupirocin is bactericidal at concentrations achieved by topical administration. Mupirocin is highly protein bound (greater than 97%) and the effect of wound secretions on the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of mupirocin has not been determined.
Mechanism of Resistance
When mupirocin resistance occurs, it results from the production of a modified isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, or the acquisition of, by genetic transfer, a plasmid mediating a new isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. High-level plasmid-mediated resistance (MIC ≥512 mcg/mL) has been reported in increasing numbers of isolates of S. aureus and with higher frequency in coagulase-negative staphylococci. Mupirocin resistance occurs with greater frequency in methicillin-resistant than methicillin-susceptible staphylococci.
Cross Resistance
Due to its mode of action, mupirocin does not demonstrate cross resistance with other classes of antimicrobial agents.
Antimicrobial Activity
Mupirocin has been shown to be active against susceptible isolates of S. aureus and S. pyogenes, both in vitro and in clinical trials [see Indications and Usage (1)]. The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. Mupirocin is active against most isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Susceptibility Testing
High-level mupirocin resistance (≥512 mcg/mL) may be determined using standard disk diffusion or broth microdilution tests.1,2 Because of the occurrence of mupirocin resistance in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), it is appropriate to test MRSA populations for mupirocin susceptibility prior to the use of mupirocin using a standardized method.3,4,5
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Long‑term studies in animals to evaluate carcinogenic potential of mupirocin have not been conducted.
Results of the following studies performed with mupirocin calcium or mupirocin sodium in vitro and in vivo did not indicate a potential for genotoxicity: rat primary hepatocyte unscheduled DNA synthesis, sediment analysis for DNA strand breaks, Salmonella reversion test (Ames), Escherichia coli mutation assay, metaphase analysis of human lymphocytes, mouse lymphoma assay, and bone marrow micronuclei assay in mice.
Reproduction studies were performed with mupirocin administered subcutaneously to male and female rats at doses up to 100 mg per kg per day which is 14 times the human topical dose (approximately 60 mg mupirocin per day) based on body surface area. Neither evidence of impaired fertility nor impaired reproductive performance attributable to mupirocin was observed.
Clinical Studies
The efficacy of topical Bactroban Ointment in impetigo was tested in 2 trials. In the first, subjects with impetigo were randomized to receive either Bactroban Ointment or vehicle placebo 3 times daily for 8 to 12 days. Clinical efficacy rates at end of therapy in the evaluable populations (adults and pediatric subjects included) were 71% for Bactroban Ointment (n = 49) and 35% for vehicle placebo (n = 51). Pathogen eradication rates in the evaluable populations were 94% for Bactroban Ointment and 62% for vehicle placebo.
In the second trial, subjects with impetigo were randomized to receive either Bactroban Ointment 3 times daily or 30 to 40 mg per kg oral erythromycin ethylsuccinate per day (this was an unblinded trial) for 8 days. There was a follow‑up visit 1 week after treatment ended. Clinical efficacy rates at the follow-up visit in the evaluable populations (adults and pediatric subjects included) were 93% for Bactroban Ointment (n = 29) and 78.5% for erythromycin (n = 28). Pathogen eradication rates in the evaluable populations were 100% for both test groups.
There were 91 pediatric subjects aged 2 months to 15 years in the first trial described above. Clinical efficacy rates at end of therapy in the evaluable populations were 78% for Bactroban Ointment (n = 42) and 36% for vehicle placebo (n = 49). In the second trial described above, all subjects were pediatric except 2 adults in the group receiving Bactroban Ointment. The age range of the pediatric subjects was 7 months to 13 years. The clinical efficacy rate for Bactroban Ointment (n = 27) was 96%, and for erythromycin it was unchanged (78.5%).

Beginning in early January, the NYPD will begin testing four Vectrix electric maxi-scooters. The vehicles will be used for regular patrols in parks, traffic enforcement and during the department's controversial policing of rallies and protests.
The NYPD already uses a fleet of 400 gasoline-powered scooters for duties ranging from ticketing illegal parkers to cracking down on the monthly Critical Mass bicycle rally.
The city hopes that the new zero-emissions scooters will help present a
more friendly, environmentally responsible face for the force, which is
known for its harsh enforcement tactics and intolerance. Officers are hoping the ultra-quiet scooters help them sneak up on bad guys.
The Scooter Scoop


text:
The chemical and electrostatic interactions at mineral- water interfaces are of fundamental importance in many geochemical, materials science, and technological processes; however, the effects of particle size at the nanoscale on these interactions are poorly known. Therefore, comprehensive experimental and characterization studies were completed, to begin to assess the effects of particle size on the surface reactivity and charging of metal-oxide nanoparticles in aqueous solutions. Commercially available crystalline anatase (TiO2 ) particles were characterized using neutron and X-ray small-angle scattering, electron microscopy, and laser diffraction techniques. The 4 nm primary nanoparticles were found to exist almost exclusively in a hierarchy of agglomerated structures. Potentiometric and electrophoretic mobility titrations were completed in NaCl media at ionic strengths from (0.005 to 0.3) mol/kg, and 25 ° C, with these two experimental techniques matched as closely as the different procedures permitted. The pH of zero net proton charge (pHznpc , from potentiometric titration) and isoelectric point pH value (pHiep , from electrophoretic mobility titrations) were both in near perfect agreement (6.85 ( 0.02). At high ionic strengths the apparent pHznpc value was offset slightly toward lower pH values, which suggests some specific adsorption of the Na+ electrolyte ions. Proton-induced surface charge curves of nanocrystalline anatase were very similar to those of larger rutile crystallites when expressed relative to their respective pHznpc values, indicating that the development of positive and negative suface charge away from the pHznpc for nanocrystalline anatase is similar to that of larger TiO2 crystallites.

Someone asked me why is my blog SLAK.
I dont want to go on a rant, but some things really get me stirred up (even though most of y'all will know i'm pretty easy going). Apologies for speeling errors ;). And i doubt any of you will have heard me talk about this stuff anyway.
-Knitting and handcrafts. Just because they are typically female historied (in current society i'm talking about, not the distant past) it doesnt make them 'art'. A woman can spend 12 months or more on a quilt, using tonal variations, putting blood sweat and tears into it and it will always be a handcraft. Who gets to say what is art and what is craft? No-one has the right to say my art is craft and vice versa besides me. Craft is not a dirty word.
- Male priviledge. 60% of artists are women, yet their work makes up only approx 20% of what is shown in major galleries (Source - my Art Critiscm and History teacher back in Perth. Cant remember which publication, but check out here http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/features/davis/davis3-12-07.asp). They also consistently are paid less per piece than men. This is what inspired a group of us back in Perth to take male or gender-nondescript names to exhibit under. Thats where Bex comes from.
As long as people are OK with a conservative white male run society (heaven forbid interest rates will go up if we get someone else to rule our lives) nothings going to change. For as much as feminism has come far, there are further strides to go. By empowering the disadvantaged, the poor and the minorities we will create equality. I dont mean to save the world, the most i can do is be aware, and not take the lazy option of pretending its all ok bacause fighting is too hard.
Its not ok. Thats why i make things - i enjoy crafting because its not what the stereotype dyke does. I like making my own things because they have a piece of me in them (sometimes literally LOL) and didnt come from some soul-less slave made factory in a third world country. I beat the system. I listen to hard rock because it makes me angry - angry enough to fight off the lethargy that slowly creeps up on you.
The old boys club is not OK. Ok, i've had enough and am not making sense now, so i'm going off to knit something and gather my thoughts for tomorrow. ;)

Yay! So good to see young women fighting for equality, instead of pretending everything is ok, that the war has been won. Drives me nuts.
Go Bex!

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am finishing an Amish type twister with black fabric and bright colors. How do you keep the black from fading when you wash it? I love the way the colors pop in the really dark black. Thanks!
I just wash in cold water with a good detergent and dry in the shade or in the dryer. I don't have any problems.
i use good quality Kona Black- i've never had my black fade from washing---if left hanging where the sun shines on it everyday there was some fading- but never from laundering.
if you are worried about your black- prewash to make sure it is color fast- then wash in cold water when necessary...i've honestly never had a solid fade/run from laundering.
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
Good information. I was planning to use good quality of Kona black as an accent on my next design. Thank You!
I have Kona black and haven't had a problem with it. I wash it in cold water and dry it in the dryer. Hasn't faded. Collects lint, though.

Have used Kona Black for literally decades and have never had it fade from washing. I call it "patent leather black" because it is so densely, beautifully, nearly shine-ly black!

I don't buy Kona or any other big name fabrics. The blcks I have bought do not fade. I prewash all fabrics in warm water and dry on normal. When a finished quilt quilt gets washed I wash in warm and dry on low in the dryer. Most people I know would not line dry anything.

This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
I'm a dye hard pre-washer ... no fabric leaves my washing machine until the color catcher say's it's OK!
I recently purchased several yards of Kona Cotton black and washed it as usual - hot water, small amount of detergent, and a color catcher to check the bleed. To my surprise there was NO bleed. I've had other manufacturers black before and it bled bad ... but not the Kona.
I would STILL wash it though
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
Is the Kona they sell in JoAnn what you use. It seemed flimsy to me but someone told me its a cheaper version of Kona.
If you're worried about the black fading over time from washing, not an initial 'run', follow the standard precautions for keeping black clothes from fading...wash in cool water, wash only with other darks, wash with a detergent specifically for dark fabrics (they have chlorine inhibitors that neutralize any chlorine found in your water), wash only when necessary, use the gentlest washer cycle needed for the amount of dirt.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".

Re: st: bootstrap test for ineqdeco comparison
Fri, 8 May 2009 14:27:43 +0100
Here is my code which does essentially the same as Maarten's (for a
different data setup) but I would strongly suggest standardizing your
differences with standard errors for the _differences_ calculated
using an inner bootstrap - a double bootstrap (I have not done this) -
as you do not know if your statistic is pivotal or not. See the
relevant discussion for Hausman statistics in Cameron and Trivedi, pg.
374 & pg. 378.
/* Bootstrap the difference of two statistics */
// ssc install ineqdeco, replace
webuse nlswork, clear
keep idcode year ttl_exp
reshape wide ttl_exp, i(idcode) j(year)
cap prog drop ineqdeco_bs
program define ineqdeco_bs, rclass
version 10
syntax varlist(max=2 min=2) [if] [in]
marksample touse
tokenize `varlist'
local first `1'
macro shift
local second `*'
ineqdeco `first' if `touse'
scalar ge68 = r(ge1)
ineqdeco `second' if `touse'
scalar ge69 = r(ge1)
return scalar ge = ge68-ge69
ereturn post, esample(`touse')
bootstrap Dge = r(ge), reps(2000) dots: ineqdeco_bs ttl_exp68 ttl_exp69

Updated: October 8, 2004, 5:31 PM ETBy Steve Muench | Scouts, Inc.
Injuries to No. 3 receivers, kickoff return men and offensive linemen generally don't receive the same attention as injuries to starting skill players. However, they can still have a significant impact, and this week's list includes all three.
Here is a list of six injured players in all, their prognosis and who is expected to replace them. There are also projections for how the injuries will affect their respective teams this weekend as well as down the road.

Why 'Addiction' Is The Wrong Wordcomments powered by Disqus
Posted on Tuesday, June 26 2007 @ 00:10:36 PST
(Let's keep this short and sweet.)
PASSION. Somehow, this word is abandoned for the more fearful word: ADDICTION. Could it possibly be that when someone sacrifices much of their livelihood towards the pursuit of success in video games, it is not because of addiction, but because they are passionate about it? You know, like they would a sport - which is a GAME, I might add. Poker, blackjack, paintball, deer hunting, mixed martial arts. Last time I checked, sacrificing most of your livelihood, even for something that involves gambling or violence, can also be called dedication and heart.
Video game addiction is actually a myth constructed by the media. There's nothing inherently addictive about gameplay, and much of the media, politicians, and psychiatrists are trying to relate video games to drugs. Nearly all game studies practioners agree that game addiction does not exist, a mere fabrication geared towards generating alarmist reactions. I, for one, am only alarmed by the dismissal of passion, the place where all dreams are found.
Addendum: But let me cool my horses a bit. The operative word here is 'excessive' and/or 'addiction'. That video games just happen to be the vehicle for which the addiction or excessiveness arises, does not mean that video games are at fault. I refuse to believe there is something special about video games that make it any more addictive than anything else that someone wants to be successful in. Striving for success will always lead some to the extreme. Video game addiction really should be addiction in its most general form and should be treated in that general form, without any special need to focus on the "video game" in front of it.

I live in a 3 yr old house; single story, 1850 sf, double pane low e glass, with foam(open cell) insulation in the ceiling(against the inside roof decking) and in the 2X4 walls. The house is very energy efficient but has a lot of street noise. A real surprise to me.
I considered re-insulating the interior walls by putting up additional studs and filling it with insulation (really too expensive) and considered putting insulation in the attic ceiling, but builder said it would cause a moisture problem. I even considered a much hyped NASA additive to put in exterior paint. This may work, but can't find anyone-outside the industry- who would say that it does. The cost is the paint, the painter's time and the cost of the additive (which in it self expensive).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to reduce the street noise short of putting in street bumps, wearing noise canceling headphones or selling to a deaf person? Please help me??

olds 455 heads (G Ga)
i had bought an olds 455 to replace my 305 in my truck. it came with heads, edelbrock torker intake, crank, and other misc. parts. i got all this for $200. was that a decent deal?
my second question, the heads have different casting letters. when i first bought it i didnt notice it because i had assumed that everything was right. i didnt realize, until i was researching the heads one day on the internet, that they were different castings. i just couldnt find out what the difference was. the part numbers are the same, it is just that one is casted "G" and the other is "Ga" could someone tell me what the difference is?
thank you.
The price you paid for the block and heads are core fee. Consider the intake a gift. Though not many people use a 455 intake. It probably doesn't have a great resale value.
I can't answer the 2nd ques.
Dont know a lot of olds motor stuff, but I bet you're alright, it's more then likely the same casting, but one is left, and one is right, look at the ends for accessorie holes and i bet that will show you which is left and right.
no biggie
The "deal" you got for the motor all depends what shape the motor is in.
Tear it down and see. That is the only way to know.
The olds 455 are good motors, torque monsters by any means. After '72 they are mediocre for horsepower, but still make over 400 ft/lbs.
The casting numbers should indicate that they are both 80cc heads, although one is from '71 and one from '72. As long as one wasn't from a 442 application (rare anyways) the valve size will be the same. So, it really doesn't matter.
The torker is not a good intake for a truck motor. It is a single plane, horsepower type intake.
I have a more conservative edelbrock performer if you would be interested in a trade. It is in like-new condition. My email is email@example.com
The olds 455 should motivate your truck very well. I am currently hopping up the 455 in my '72 cutlass supreme. Ricers watch out!
when i got the block it was in good shape and all i need to do is get it acid dipped and maybe bore it .030 over. but what i am doing to my truck is sporting it out. its not 4x4 so im just going to drag race it once i am done. i just dont know when i am going to get it done. all i have to do know is the machining and get pistons, rods, and all the other misc parts (all the expensive stuff) but its going to be fun once i am done.
i appreciate the information about the heads. im just not sure if i am going to get new ones though... i want the edelbrock heads but they are about 1500 for the set.
thanks agian
ps can i get some pics for the edelbrock performer?

Oooooooo! Shiney!
I was going to paint it yellow, but it cost to much so I called a buddy who custom paints cars and he had some silver. I took it to him to spray and this is what I got. :mrgreen: :roll: :mrgreen: :roll:
awesome! is the seat post custom made?
Looks good. Glad you switched to blackwalls with the silver paint. Using those same handlebars or something else?
Boogieman Yes That is a custom seat post. And thankks
Randy thanks Those are actually 3 speed wheels. I am using a different bar, but not much different.
looks good can't wait to ride it
450redrider, my wife and I all got to ride it today and agreed it rides great. Cushy ride and the bike fit me real well. The new style of handlebars was the right choice.
I'm going to have to find one of those seats :mrgreen: , also glad he switched the handle bars out to the cruiser style, I love the ride (now if I can just sneek it away to my house :wink: :wink: )
These are the style of bars I decided to use. I rode it about a week with track style bars. It just didn't work for me. I'm old and trying to get in shape. Me and the wife went on the bike path on east side of Wichita for a couple hours today for a shakedown. It was pretty windy. Made us feel bad when some dude come whizzing by on a BMX bike holding a cd player and smoking a cig. :|

It is a busy street with sidewalks wide enough for hundreds of pedestrians and caf�s and such things as lineups to get into the high end designer stores ( guards at the door, only a dozen shoppers inside at a time). We ate a late dinner in a small restaurant operated by a couple who cooked and served. I had duck confit and Leslie had steak. Real French food! We went back out to the crowds, walking past beggars and people ...
Paris Day 2
... the Notre Dame Cathedral. We toured the Notre Dame. The stained glass windows were beautiful. The cathedral was gothic style compared to the cathedrals we visited in London. We had some lunch and a gelato and walked over to the Place Royal and hotel De Ville then caught the metro back home. In the afternoon Alexa and Stacey caught the metro to the Running Expo to collect ...
... the metro!
Our first stop was the Eiffel Tower. It was even more beautiful than the first time I saw it! I was also night time when we saw it so it was sparkling! After that we headed back to the hostel, ate dinner and got ready to go out. We went to O'Sullivan's which was a very nice bar by our hostel. The music was good and the people were very friendly! We didn't get back home until 3:30am and had to be up by 9am to start day.

Sydney revisited: it feels like weeks rather than years since I was last there.
On cue, mid-winter sun beams down from an immaculate sky. The vista from the 40th floor of a downtown corporate monument is an instant reminder that this is one of the world's great cities, a powerhouse of energy and ambition in a breathtaking setting.
Nature did its bit and man hasn't done too badly either, if the suburban wasteland that stretches most of the way to the Blue Mountains is conveniently ignored.
Sydney remains a city that marches on its stomach. The cafes and restaurants are abuzz and the two bottle, three course lunch is alive and well.
As a contribution to the debate that has raged in these pages since a blow-in rugby scribe branded New Zealand the rip-off capital of the western world, I can attest that the holidaymaker's routine, that seamless progression from cafe to restaurant to bar to restaurant, is certainly no cheaper in Sydney than in Auckland or Wellington.
And having spent a month in England and France last year when the exchange rate was at its most punitive, I have zero sympathy for visiting Europeans or returning expats who find the pound or euro doesn't go as far here as they thought it would. As they say over there: c'est la vie.
Bob Hawke and Paul Keating are still at each other's throats. What keeps this 20-year-old feud humming along are their contending claims to have been the driving force behind the reformist Labour Government of the 1980s.
But what turned the rivalry into a vendetta and gives it relevance in the current political climate is that Hawke wasn't voted out of office by the Australian people: having won four elections on the trot, he was ousted by Keating in a party room ballot.
The objection then was the same as it is now: to engineer the removal of a sitting prime minister is to thwart the will of the people; it is, in effect, a form of coup d'etat.
The counter-argument has two main strands. Australia doesn't have a presidential system; the prime minister isn't elected by popular vote.
He or she is the leader of the party which wins the most seats, and serves at the pleasure of their parliamentary colleagues.
Secondly, Kevin Rudd's downfall was of his own making, a combination of ineptitude, hubris and a high-handed leadership style. Everyone seems to have an anecdote, usually courtesy of a friend of a friend who knows someone in the parliamentary Labour Party, which portrays him as a control freak with a Napoleonic ego.
The counter counter-argument is that Australia has a de facto presidential system - as indeed do we - because both the party machines and the media see election campaigns primarily in terms of the leaders going head-to-head.
In 2007 Australians had the choice of a government headed by John Howard or one headed by Rudd. They chose the latter. Even the most pedantic constitutionalist would struggle to deny that the current election is essentially a political beauty contest between Julia Gillard and Tony Abbot.
Last time I was in Sydney local boy Mel Gibson was in hot water for anti-Semitism. Now West Pymble's favourite son has added racism and misogyny to his repertoire.
To be fair, he did suggest that if his Russian ex-girlfriend was raped by Afro-Americans, she would've brought it upon herself by her whorish appearance. This represents progress of sorts from your traditional, deep south, Ku Klux Klan-style racism which asserts that black men are genetically programmed to rape white women, end of story.
Gibson has two crosses to bear, three if you count the fact that he belongs to a hard-line offshoot of Catholicism which regards the Vatican as a hotbed of modernisers. The first is his father, a crackpot with a conspiracy theory for everything from the Holocaust to 9/11.
The second is the demon drink. A graduate of Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Art who achieved stardom in Australian movies like Mad Max and Gallipoli, Gibson is remembered in film and theatrical circles as a deeply serious boozer.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
The secret taping of domestic disputes may constitute entrapment; leaking said tapes to the media may constitute invasion of privacy. And how many of those whose relationships have collapsed in acrimony would be comfortable at the thought of some choice sound bites from the terminal phase hitting the airwaves?
It will also be interesting to see whether those Hollywood luminaries who were so vocal in their support of Roman Polanski, another tarnished Academy Award-winning director, now shun Gibson for what he said rather than anything he's done.

If you read some of Solomon's posts you will find that he does feed [gasp!!] granulated sugar, when appropriate. That is not natural feed by any reasonable definition.
If you read some of Solomon's posts you will find that he does feed [gasp!!] granulated sugar, when appropriate. That is not natural feed by any reasonable definition.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
So, Tim Ives would call him a 'sugar feeding idiot'.
I don't see Randy as an 'ignorant alarmist'.
Ha Ha yes the other Tim Ives expression that I thought was quite funny was "living in candyland" LOL
Which would include me I will feed sugar if warranted, but still saw the humour in the statement.
Tim is a great guy his beekeeping is very different to most of what we read. He also, has a big mouth, but has the skills and results to back it, I wish he would post more.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
it's also how i feel about treating vs. not and feeding vs. not.
unless we think that we're doing the bees a big favor by keeping them in in our hives, that they are somehow better off being managed than they would be on their own, we have to admit that we are all exploiting them for our purposes, even if that is nothing more than watching them fly.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Yet it is suggested there is a bee apocalypse looming because 1 1/2 million strong healthy hives were not delivered to the almond growers last year and put into these so called "feedlot" conditions as if whatever the almond growers demand is the new standard for bee health in our country. On this very thread are a couple of good beekeepers stating they would prefer not to send their bees, and they are hardly the only ones. If anyone has a better idea of how to prep a few thousand thousand semi load lots of hives that have been shipped 1,000+ miles to get them large at a time of year when most northern hives are still in winter wraps the industry would love to hear about it.

You aren't covering yourself in glory when you call Randy Oliver (or anyone else for that matter) names. If he's ignorant then I must be too ignorant to understand that he is. Randy Oliver is one of the few people who does beekeeping experiments and shares his work, and does it in a way which acknowledges and tries to minimize confirmation bias. Most of what is available is 100 percent anecdotal evidence, and not even trying to be scientific. I think we all owe a little bit of respect to anyone who does that.
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
What about funny Chinese honey.... isn't that produced kind of how Randy is describing keeping bees?
>Alarmist, ignorant, Randy Oliver not helping as usual.
I attended a Randy Oliver class recently and found him to be the most articulate, well informed and educational speaker I have heard in my 40+ years of attending bee lectures. He clearly backed up what I have concluded for years, that it is mite vectored viruses that winter kill my bees.
When Solomon has 1% of the experience, 1% of the bees hives, 1% of the demand as a nationwide lecturer, completed 1% of the research that Randy has done, and published 1% of the articles that Randy has, he might then be 1% of the way to being able to compare himself to Randy.
As a totally uncredited and unqualified "teacher" who thinks that he has something to offer us with his "Ask questions Here" threads, Solomon has once again made a fool of himself with this comment.
[QUOTE=Solomon Parker;983393Alarmist, ignorant, Randy Oliver not helping as usual.[/QUOTE]
Well...Well I've known Randy for twenty five years and is a close friend, I got Randy started writing with ABJ back in 2008, I talk with Randy alot about the bee industry where its been and where it's going. To call Randy ignorant is just foolish. Sad to hear this on this board.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
I think that was a little harsh Frank but such is life. I don't always agree with Sol, but I find his information is typically very useful and he's very open with what has worked for him.
"If anyone has a better idea of how to prep a few thousand thousand semi load lots of hives that have been shipped 1,000+ miles to get them large at a time of year when most northern hives are still in winter wraps the industry would love to hear about it."
"We've dealt with insecticides for a long time...I'm not thoroughly convinced this is a major issue."
This Randy-ism is something that I'll characterize as 'not even wrong'.
He's been downplaying the role of neonics for a while now. Especially since his association with Monsanto/Bayer.
He's not an ignorant alarmist. But, I would call him an 'intelligent agent'.
He's on the wrong team.
"Harsher than a nobody calling a re-known authority "ignorant"?"
He's no authority.
We could go even harsher and use the term, "Lying industry shill".
But, we won't since we're only giving an example of what some folks would like to say about Randy.
So, while some of us think that Randy is being gassed up like a ballon that's gonna pop...
Marla Spivak, that's a 'REAL' authority. She's a genius.

Soon as Randy gets paid to do some research for "the industry", there's going to be some folks although surprisingly few, question his integrity.
Randy is quite logical and I believe honest, in his assessment of the evidence on the matter. The study he released does not even draw a whole lot of conclusions, more, it simply presents a bunch of facts he has assembled that lead to their own conclusion the reader can make their own assessment. Sorry, calling the man a liar offensive, in fact I would challenge you to either reference one of these lies, or withdraw the accusation. However the neonics debate is not for this thread it has been, and no doubt will be, debated elsewhere.
The above type of abuse without any sensible explanation is just abuse and contributes nothing. I thought this behavior style would just be confined to the OP. Sorry WLC.

"Thinking Inside The Box"
First, take out your current issue of TIME magazine. (August 19, 2013)
p. 30, first paragraph.
"Pesticide makers argue that actual levels of neonicotinoid exposure in the field are too low to be the main culprit in colony loss. "We've dealt with insecticides for a long time, "says Randy Oliver..."I'm not thouroughly convinced this is a major issue."
See what I mean NOW Oldtimer?
You have to see it in the context of the whole article to understand why folks can say that Randy looks like a shill.
Recently, he claimed that there's no evidence for neonicotinoids impacting colony health. That was under the heading "facts".
That's blatantly untrue. And, yes, he is a Bayer spokesman.
Do you see why folks can get 'harsh', and still be truthful?
"ignorant alarmist" was mild.
Last edited by WLC; 08-10-2013 at 04:13 AM.
Is that saying neonicitiniods do not affect colony health? No it isn't. Be careful it is not you who is the liar.
Abusing someone, and then lying about what they say, to justify the abuse, is just more abuse of the worst kind. Even if you feel strongly about neonicitiniods, this type of behaviour is hardly acceptable.
Don't agree with it. That's all. Here briefly, is why.
There are some people who have convinced themselves that neonicitioids are the major factor in bee colony losses. Randy though, is "not convinced" of this, however he does believe neonicitiniods can badly effect bees as I have pointed out. And in view of the lack of evidence for neonics being the biggest ever problem, that outlook in my view, is the correct scientific response at this time. What if the major cause is something else? Should we not be open minded to that? A proper scientist would be. The people who have decided that neonicitiniods cause everything, despite lack of conclusive evidence for this, are not following proper scientific method.
WLC I am not objecting to your opinion on the matter, it's a democracy, you can hold any opinion you like. But this name calling and abuse and seeming hatred almost, of someone with a different view, does not progress anything and is irrational.

In celebration of Dr. Mark Hyman's latest book, "The Blood Sugar Solution," our founder, Donna Karan, opened her home to a community of like-minded people ready to reignite the conversation of putting CARE back into healthcare (a mission of the Urban Zen Foundation and a desperately needed solution in the healthcare field).
Joining Dr. Hyman for this necessary and relevant discussion were two of Urban Zen's biggest well-being champions – Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Dean Ornish. All three physicians have been, and continue to be, at the forefront of holistic well-being and use their knowledge and passion to encourage individuals to change the way they approach health. As Dr. Ornish shared, "awareness is really the first step in healing."
This philosophy was a unifying factor for the evening and the purpose behind Dr. Hyman's new book. It is because of his deep understanding of the diabetes epidemic and its far-reaching impact on the state of this country's collective health that Dr. Hyman wrote, "The Blood Sugar Solution." Dr. Hyman believes that what we put at the end of our forks is one of the most important medical decisions we'll ever make and that making informed decisions about lifestyle matter. Dr. Hyman shared his belief that if we want to change the system, "we have to create health where we live and work and breathe."
Dr. Oz elaborated on this sentiment saying that one of his personal philosophies within in his practice is to, "make it easy to do the right thing," as he understands that patients need to feel that great health is within their reach.
Perhaps the biggest take-away from the evening was the power of community. All three doctors talked about how important creating a network of support is (something that they have done within their own professional setting as they've been supporting each other for years). This truth is at the heart of Urban Zen Foundation's mission and something that we will continue to propel forward in everyway we can: community is necessary for change, in all arenas, including health.
We could not be happier to support Dr. Hyman and his new book (which will be available this week). We know that now, more than ever, we need to come together and take a stand for health and well-being. As Donna always says, "at some point we will all be a patient or a loved-one." Each and every one of us will be impacted by our healthcare system and we are all responsible for what is considered acceptable. We invite you to continue on this journey with us to shift the healthcare paradigm. Explore our UZIT program, learn more about Dr. Hyman, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Ornish and join the Urban Zen community to help us create real, sustainable change. Together we can take care of each other.

Daniel Explained HTML version
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged
(Never forget that God is in control. Nebuchadnezzar is king because God chose him to be. See Jeremiah 27:6-7 where God
gives all the lands into the hands of His servant, Nebuchadnezzar.)
2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into
the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
(Shinar is Babylon. The word translated means the land of two rivers which are the Tigress and the Euphrates. This is the flat
land in between these two rivers.)
3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the
king's seed, and of the princes;
(Ashpenaz is a strange name in the Hebrew tongue. It means Horseface.)
4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and
understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and
the tongue of the Chaldeans.
(The tongue of the Chaldeans is the tongue of Babylon. Remember that Babylon means confusion. We can see in this that
Nebuchadnezzar chose only the very best and the sharpest. He appreciated education. His name itself means the god of learning.)
5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three
years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
(Three years should always create a point of interest. This was to give them time to learn the language and to be able to bring
the knowledge of Judah unto the Bablylonian king. The problem with this is that the food that the Babylonians ate was unclean.
They ate scavengers and also meat that had the blood still within.)
6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of
Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which
he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
(Our character must always stand on what we know is right. Daniel stood by his morals.)
9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
(Don't read over this. The eunuch didn't just merely take a liking to Daniel. It was because God desired it to be. God is always
in control.)
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for
why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to
the king.
11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
(Ten days is the same amount of time that each individual that is brought up before Anti-christ will be on trial. Basically, don't
partake of any food other than God given food. Daniel is the Revelation of the Old Testament as Revelation is to the New
Testament. Pulse means a pod. What grows in a pod? Beans, peas, lentles, and so forth. It is protein.)
13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the
king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the
portion of the king's meat.
16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in

Early Saturday, NYTimes reported that Apple Inc. (AAPL) was looking to invest "hundreds of millions" in microblogging company, Twitter. The report assumes that either Apple is investing or purcahsing a large stake in the company and that the two companies have been in talks in recent months over such a matter.
Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be named because the discussions were private.
There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying competition from the likes of Google and Facebook.
However, The Wall Street Journal also came out and negated the claims made in the NYTime report, leading speculators to remain skeptical about such a deal between the two companies. Apple has been dabbling with social media in recent years, pushing for its own Ping network in iTunes, which failed to attract users. Since then, the Cupertino company has heavily incorporated Twitter into both iOS and OS X.
Apple has mixed in Twitter under the share sheets in multiple applications, including Safari on all of its devices and even Notification Center in iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion. Although Facebook will also be a part of the operating systems soon, Twitter remains tightly integrated.
It is unclear whether Apple still in talks with Twitter or if the two companies even had contact with each other. However, such a deal involving "hundreds of millions" might not justify the profitability Cupertino based company could possibly extract.

Global revenues attributable to enterprise mobile services will reach $340 billion by 2017, according to the latest estimates from ABI Research.
This figure includes revenues from voice, messaging, phone data plans, mobile broadband, enterprise applications and management services. The business segment of the mobile services market is forecast to grow at double the rate of the consumer segment and, since it accounts for more than 30% of the total market, mobility suppliers are strongly advised to pay heed, ABI enterprise practice director Dan Shey said. The expansion in the business segment is being driven by the BYOD (bring your own device) trend, more specifically the widespread use of smartphones. In order to capitalise on market opportunities, suppliers must devise strategies to meet the business and personal needs of corporate workforces by providing them with suitable apps and services, Shey noted.
In North America and Western Europe, smartphone penetration within the enterprise customer base is expected to exceed 90%. And while penetration levels are still low in developing regions, the total number of employees using smartphones will be considerable. The rest of the world's regions account for more than 70% of the enterprise mobile subscriber base.
By way of advice to mobile operators, ABI suggests innovation in the areas of packaging and pricing, making it easier for people using personal devices for work to find business content or upgrade with ease to enterprise-ready devices. In the case of device manufacturers, ABI recommends developing a portfolio of enterprise-ready handsets, pre-loaded with the necessary security features and business apps. IT and platform suppliers are advised to establish strong partnerships to cope with the growing demand and to make sure that their solutions can take care of vertical needs.

When you shop for a used car, you hear a lot of different pricing terms. To get the best deal and negotiate effectively, you need to understand what they mean and how to use them. Here are seven used-car pricing terms you'll likely encounter, along with some examples of how you're likely to hear them used. We also have some tips on using the terms to negotiate a better deal. If you are shopping for a new car, the pricing terms are different, so be sure to read "Pricing Basics for New-Car Buying." Now let's decipher used-car pricing lingo.
Asking Price: The asking price is just that — the amount the seller asks for the car. It's negotiable. The seller knows he might not get the price he's asking.
How the term is used: A used-car seller might say, "Well, 15 is my asking price, but make me an offer."
Dealer Retail Price: A used-car dealer would like to sell his car at retail price. This is the highest price and is often the most visible one — it's the one pasted on the car's windshield in big, bright letters. But really, a retail price is similar to an asking price, and it is the starting place for negotiations. Dealers use the Kelley Blue Book to set their retail prices. Edmunds.com's True Market Value information, based on actual transaction prices in the marketplace, also lists retail prices. Because of the different way that these two guides arrive at the retail prices, the TMV retail price likely is different from Kelley's price.
How the term is used: A car salesman might say, "My car retails for $20 grand but I'll sell it to you for $17."
Kelley Blue Book Price or Book Price: People often refer to a car's "blue book value" without explaining which book they are referring to. The Kelley Blue Book lists Kelley's own dealer retail, private party and trade-in prices. For more information on the Kelley Blue Book price, read this detailed explanation.
How the term is used: A dealer might say, "I'd like to give you more for your trade-in but the book value is really low."
TMV® Price: Edmunds.com uses different sources to track the average sale price of used cars. It adjusts that price based on mileage, condition and options, and then sets a True Market Value® price or TMV. This is the average market-value price for a used car.
How the term is used: A buyer might say to a dealer, "Your asking price is a lot higher than Edmunds.com's TMV, so I'm offering $1,000 less."
Trade-in Price: Dealers will offer a trade-in price for your used car when you buy a new car. The trade-in price is negotiable and very close to what cars sell for at used-car auctions.
How the term is used: A car salesman might say, "That's as high as we can go on the trade-in price for your SUV. Gas prices are so high that no one wants them."
Wholesale Price: This is what the dealer paid for the car. The parallel in new-car pricing would be a vehicle's invoice price. The wholesale price is the dealer's rock-bottom figure and it's unlikely that he'll sell you the car for that amount. The term is frequently used within the car industry but isn't often used by ordinary private-party car buyers and sellers.
How the term is used: A dealer might say, "I can't sell you the car for 11. I paid 12 wholesale for it at the auction!"
Using Pricing Terms To Negotiate
Here are a few tips for using these terms when you're shopping for a used car:
- Some dealers present the Kelley Blue Book price as though it has been written in stone. In fact, Kelley is just one of many pricing guides. You can counter the Kelley price with TMV pricing to show what you are willing to pay.
- If sellers tell you the price of a used car is an asking price, they are inviting you to make an offer, even if it's a lower offer.
- Look up the trade-in price on Edmunds.com and use it as a starting point for negotiations with a used-car dealer. Add $500 to the trade-in price to let the dealer know you're willing to let him make some money over what he paid for the car.
- When you're buying a car from a private party, look up its TMV private-party price, as shown in this example of a 2008 Honda Accord sedan. Make your opening offer $1,000 below that figure and raise it by $500 increments.
- Remember that because dealers look at many different pricing guides, your research won't match the dealers' prices to the dollar. Instead, use the guides as an approximation.
- If you are inexperienced in negotiating for a used car at a dealership — and most people are — go slowly and write down the numbers to confirm that you've heard them correctly. Don't be shy about asking the salesman to repeat any prices under discussion.
- When car salesmen negotiate price, they don't include the sales tax and various dealer fees. Before agreeing to a price, ask for the "out-the-door" cost so you know exactly what you have to pay.

HollywoodLife was INSIDE Bristol Palin's post-'DWTS' bash at LA hotspot The Mint, and we've got all the scoop on Bristol's awkward dance-off with a strange guy, the dancer who sang her 'Happy Birthday' and much more!
Alaska's most famous unwed teen mother — Bristol Palin — is no longer a teen. And we were inside her late-night bash for all the candles, cupcakes, Diet Coke (hey, she's 20!) — and how she and Dancing partner ended her big night!
According to our inside source, Bristol and a group of galpals showed up at the Mint to celebrate her 20th b-day at Mark's weekly solo show and were completely absorbed … with their cell phones, texting for 20 minutes straight at a corner table.
Their attention quickly turned from SMS to snacks — Bristol wolfed down nachos with her friends (hey, dancing makes you hungry!) and drank a soda.
Sweet Mark Ballas organized everything for her birthday: Cupcake with candle, a flower delivery, and his own rendition of "Happy Birthday" for her.
They definitely didn't go home together — so for now, no happy ending for Bristol with Mark.

Insurance Requirements
In order for the Film Office to issue a permit for filming in the City of Oakland, the filmmaker or production company needs to provide a certificate of insurance. A certificate of insurance is evidence of insurance, proof of a contractor's financial ability to pay for a loss caused by the contractor's negligence.
Examples of the Certificates of insurance the City of Oakland requires follow:
City of Oakland's Certificate of liability insurance example
City of Oakland's CG 20 insurance example
Most insurance providers use the ACORD Certificate of Liability insurance form; if yours does not, a copy of your policy statement with terms and limits will be fine.
• On your Certificate of Liability Insurance, the terms of coverage for your insurance must be inclusive of the dates referenced on the film permit.
• The Certificate Holder section of the Certificate of Liability Insurance should read:
City of Oakland
1 Frank Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, CA 94612
• CG 20 10 Additional Insurance Endorsement Form:
Your insurance certification must be accompanied by what is known as CG 20 10 Additional Insurance Endorsement form or equivalent document. Note that your insurance provider may alternately issue an equivalent form such as a CG 20 10 10 93, CG 20 10 11 85 or CG 20 26. In this case, you may provide us with a copy of this form. You can verify the form number by looking at the bottom left corner of your Additional Insured Endorsement form.
• The following clause should appear on the Additional Insured Endorsement form (CG 20) as the Name of Person or Organization:
The City of Oakland, its Councilmembers, Directors, Officers, Agents and Employees
• Your insurance Policy Number must also appear on your CG 20 10 Additional Insured Endorsement or equivalent endorsement form.
The certificates can be faxed, emailed, mailed or dropped off at the City of Oakland's offices.
