I am getting a navi/dvd system put into my 04 rex. I was leaning toward the eclipse AVN6600 or the pioneer AVIC-N3. Any suggestions?
I have the avic-n1 in my 03 and it is great. I went with the n1 as some of the features get locked out on the n2 when the car is in motion. Don't know much about the n3. I also use the steering wheel remote and the voice module. The only thing I didn't like was the iPod interface and just took it out yesterday and replaced it with a Harmon Kardon drive system. I used the n1 last year on a trip from Montreal to Myrtle Beach and it took me straight to the hotel door as well as finding me motels on the 2 nights on the road as well as gas stations and restaurants.

Yeah well the guy that is installing is a friend and he said he could take care of the motion problem..... thanks for the input
I know on the n1 it was just a wire to the emergency brake that was easily bypassed but I was told that the n2 used a different technology that couldn't be.

for 1099 get a d1, at online car stereo the do the mod onless you really want single din
im waiting for mine
I just bought the D2 with the intergrated Ipod, XM and Sirius, and the performance adapter so I can basically have my guages all on the radio. Its getting installed on Saturday morning so I will let you know how it is.
I spoke to my radio guy and he said on the newer pioneers (N3,Z1) they have a gyroscope inside the unit and there is no way to disconnect it. But if you really want to you could just get another screen installed in the front somewhere and hook it up to the "rear monitor"Originally Posted by canlogic

it is an add on. I think it is around 300 bucks. It gives you accel, gforce, MPH, odometer, tach, and a bunch of other stuff. I didnt see it online, but when i went to my friend that does the customization, he said he could install it for me.

according to the crutchfield catalog, it comes with it, but im not sure, they dont list the part or anything. so ask him what it is and maybe a pn
I am going to see him on Saturday so i will get some info and just post it for you. I saw a demo of it and its bananas. Absolutely necessary. It looks extremely professional.
i sell both the eclipse and pioneer navigations at my work...... eclipse hands down! whether you go with the single or double din unit it will be awesome. tell me of another company out there that will replace your unit for a full 1 year after purchase at no charge! also, when you get the nav installed you insert a cd for it to remember. if the power to the unit is ever lost, it wont play unless you put that cd back in. for example, if it does get stolen, the jackass cant use it unless he guesses the cd that you used
what do you think about the long term reliability of the eclipse decks with the 30 gb hard drives? they look pretty nice but the price is not right
I just posted about this in another thread but Alpine has a new DVD player coming out, double DIN, and for $750 you can add a hand held navigation unit that docks with the car head unit and supplies control to the touch screen. Portable Navigation with DVD for $2K, not bad. Comes out this month. Check www.alpine.com I think.
My bud at MobileOne recommends it to me.
just got everything done! I ended up getting the AVIC D1, ipod interface, PS2 w/wireless controllers, Sirius. Its ridiculous.


text: My first attempt at Plasti Dip. Applied a couple layers of smoke and then silver metallizer and then gloss. Just a start as I will be doing this to all the chrome on my car and maybe the wheels as well. I tried it on my old G35 grill and it came out looking like gunmetal but I thought what the heck I'll try it anyway. On the old grill I did smoke + gloss on the left and smoke + silver metallizer + gloss on the right. Not sure if I'm going to keep the smoke over the colored part because my girlfriend said it looks "dirty" but what does she know???

10GYM WAS FAIR BUT THESE PEOPLE OFFICE IN 10GYM DO NOT USE THEM!!!!!Custom Built Personal "Trainers" were ok the first week. After that there seemed to be no oversight and you were lucky to get your sessions. I was charged for one I missed and went to make up but never got to. The trainers seemed indifferent in the beginning and I finally got one I liked and she left. I joined in the second week of January and sustained an injury to my meniscus and groin in February after being given 2 steps to jump on and off of. I told the trainer at the time. I also recorded my sessions so I would know how to do the exercises. The trainer left about the time I went to my doctor and he told me to NOT do personal training and to only swim for exercise AFTER my groin is healed. He wrote me a note on March 26th and I took it to their office in the Midwest City 10 gym. The "manager" made a copy of my note and said he will send it to the corporate office. I stopped their payment and assumed that would be the end of it. 10 gym was fine with my written doctors order . I explained to them my horrific injuries and they still call me for payment. I may have to have surgery because of THEIR TRAINER because the excercises I was given were NOT for someone that had 3 back surgeries. Their trainers were talking about getting certified through a weekend course! As I reserched them more, I found that I should have done my homework! Not only are their "trainers" not qualified, but they had no business giving someone with 3 back surgeries the weight amount and the strenuous exercises they gave me! Now I have a torn meniscus and a pulled groin that tore my muscles! I did what they asked and gave them 2 doctors notes. I blew off the sessions I paid for and never got. I will now picket them and have made contact with the many other furious clients. I have a sign made for my car now as well. They are expert scam artists. They call me multiple times a day for payment, even though they injured me to where I can't work out! I will send my doctor bills to them and will probably have to sue them! I am going to the media and will pickett all their sites to let the public know how unscrupulous these scammers are. Their customer service and upper management are VERY unprofessional.

AC Lines Freezing
I have a new 03 WRX that I keep in good condition. No mods yet, but I have been having serious problems with the AC. In the summer to begin with the car was low on Freon. Now last week I took the car to florida on a vacation. First 40 miles my fans quit blowing air out. So I stop and open the hood, the suction line is frozen over and so are the fan blades. I let it sit and the line defrosts but it keeps doing it. It only happens on the highway. Now I know that this is not normal, yet when in Florida I talked to another WRX owner and he siad his does the same. I am going to take it to the dealer tommorow but I wanted to know if any one else has had this problem. I have a fealing I am going to have to fight the dealer. Please let me know ASAP if you have had this problem.
possible the expansion valve is not functioning correctly...
thats what it sounds like to me...

Floating engineered wood floor over ceramic tile
Our entire first floor has a ceramic tile floor that I hate. I want to cover most of it with a floating wood floor but I'm nervous about proper installation. My main concerns/questions are:
--can we apply a floating engineered wood floor over the tile but attach transition pieces where the tile continues into the kitchen and bathroom? In other words, I don't want to cover the tile in those two rooms, only in the living room and dining room.
--1 tile is missing when we cut it out to see how easy removal might be. It was terrible, so we're not going to remove the rest of the tile. Can we fill the missing space with leveling compound?
--finally, what do we do with installing the floating floorings next to baseboard heaters? There's not enough of a gap to fit the flooring underneath.
Many thanks in advanc!
Best plan is to get rid of the tile.
A rotery hammer will make quick work of it.
A question or two--is the tile installed over a concrete floor or wood frame floor?
How many radiators are affected?
Are the covers steel or cast iron?
In a nut shell--yes, you can install a floating floor over tile----the missing tile spaces can be filled with vinyl patching cement-----transitions can be screwed or glued to the tile---
The radiators are the hang up-----Mike-----
The tile is set on "wonder board" which is on top of plywood that is screwed into the wood plank subfloor. It was awful pulling just one tile up - so removing them all is not an option for us.
3 radiators would be affected.
Tell me about the radiators--are they the common painted steel?
How thick is the flooring you would like to install?
The common steel radiator covers are not difficult to remove and raise a bit----
If you can remove a front cover you will see a cheap steel 'shelf bracket' thing that holds up the copper fin tube---
This will need to be removed--they pop out of slots in the back of the wall pan--then the wall pan is removed by removing the screws or nails that hold it to the drywall.
You will need to support the copper fin tube after you remove the pans----
If they are ugly (mine sure are) new ones can be purchased at a local heating supply house---
Some modification of the brackets might be needed to mount them lower in the pan----
Pictures will help---
Demoing tile over cement backer is a messy job---if you don't mind the extra height---you are good.
Do look at those radiators and make sure the tile setter did not bury the bottom of the pan---
If so---the work just got harder.
1 Attachment(s)
I tried to attach an image of the radiator - hopefully it worked. I'm nervous about removal so my thought was to leave a 1/2 gap between the heater and the flooring. Then, glue quarter round onto the edge of the floor as a kind of border (between the floor and heater). Would that work?
Those look like electric heaters-----I assumed hot water----that might be rather simple to raise---let me know----
Yes. Definitely electric.
Those might be very simple to lift up to the new floor height---
Did you cover the tile with floating floor
Wondering if you covered the tile with floating floor. if so how did it come out. Want to do that in my home because the demo of the tile is out of the question.
Those heater should be a total nonissue!
Super simple to remove them, install the floor and reconnect.
No way would I willingly install engineered flooring over tile.
That's going to have to be going to effect door openings, base boards ECT.

The hoodoos (pillars of rock) of Bryce Canyon National Park are quite a sight - strange and beautiful. It got colder, windier and snowier as the day progressed, and we felt lucky that we had seen the Canyon that day. It snowed all night and was socked in next morning, we wouldn't have been able to see anything more, so we headed out.

Black mold growing on my clay tile roof
I live in the Philippines, so it's pretty much hot and humid here all year round. And we have really had lots of rain here for the last 6 months.
About 1 year ago, we had a new house built and had a ceramic clay tile roof installed. The tiles were imported from Spain.
After 1 year now, I have noticed alot of a black colored mold on the tiles. By wife's brother and another relative have now been on the roof for 3 full days scrubbing the tiles with tide soap and bleach. It looks like they will need at least another 1 or 2 days of hand scrubbing. This is removing all the black discoloration, but it certainly is labor intensive.
I was just wondering if anyone here has seen a problem like this with a clay tile roof in hot and wet areas in the US such as maybe Florida or the Houston area?
Had I known that these roof tiles are supseptable to black mold formation, I certainly would not have installed them.
Here is a photo of the roof (might be a little hard to see the black discoloration in certain areas) do to the various color shades of each roof tile ... but it's certainly discolored in certain areas.
It's normal to get mold and moss on clay tiles in damp climates.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Charlee, I hope the medicine will work wonders for you and that you won't suffer too many bad side effects. We'd miss you if you weren't checking in when you can. Please keep us informed as to how you are doing.You will be in my prayers.
A potted motor question for those who know about them;
I was piecing some quilt squares with my 201-2 tonight and at the beginning of each piece when I pushed on the knee bar, it wouldn't go. Give the hand wheel a tiny nudge and zoom it would take off. Then it was good to go until the next piece.
I'm using C&C Dual Duty Heavy thread and I'm wondering if that is causing trouble at the beginning of the stitching or if it's a motor problem.
Earlier I was using the two ZZ attachments and a button holler and didn't seem to have this problem. I was using light thread then. I really don't know if the thread is the trouble or no.
Any body have any ideas?
As much as I know about regular motors, I know nothing about the potted motors.
Charlee, Sorry to hear that you have had a series of minor heart attacks. Luckily you can be treated with meds. Life is short regardless of age; so, ignore all drama that causes you stress. Take it easy and enjoy those sewing projects; treadling is good for the soul too.
Thanks Everyone...I promise I am NOT going anywhere just yet! It doesn't seem to that big of a deal, I am just really tired lately, and wanted to explain why I haven't posted much, even tho I read most every day.
One day, you'll only be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.
Please take very good care of yourself. You would be greatly missed! You're in my prayers.
Sharon W.
I have a question for those who have a Rocketeer. I have one myself but I've never used it (it was my grandmothers) and I cannot access it to find what info I need. How many cams should there be to make a complete set with a machine. I have one to sell and it has a bag of attachments as well as 5 cams with it, and I wasnt sure how many, if any, were "missing".
Charlee, thinking of you and hoping you feel much better SOON!
Hi Charlee, I hope that the medicine isn't too bad on the side affects. I too have missed you on this thread recently. You have helped me a few times when I had questions on these vintage machines and I enjoy reading your posts very much. Thanks for letting us know what is happening with you. My thoughts are with you and I wish you good health and happy sewing!
Charlee, I am so sorry to learn of your health problems. Although I haven't actually corresponded with you, I have read many of your post as well as your replies to the post of others. Just wanted to let you know that I value your input on the board and that I will miss your participation. I hope your condition can be controlled by the medication and that if you do experience any side effects that hey will be minor ones. May God be with you and may you experience a great improvement in your health in the very near future.
Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.

Leverage Strengths, Skills & Savvy To Maximize Assets Present In Any Situation.
Change Agents don't have to look very far or too closely to spot resistance. Setbacks are commonplace. Unwanted and unintended circumstances abound and come from many directions…economic issues, internal politics, revenue shortfalls, entrenched legacy systems, etc. Professional and personal disappointments always arise. None of us is exempt. That's why Asset-Based Thinking in the face of difficult situations is so important and so useful. With ABT, build your power and influence by uncovering and magnify what's best in virtually every situation you encounter.
Over 50 years ago, psychologist David McClelland suggested that we measure the value of a given day, month or year in three ways: results, learnings, and experience. When you stop to think about it, McClelland's suggestion is a true ABT practice. The invitation to examine what is learned and experienced—alongside the results that are achieved—creates three valuable bottom lines for any time frame and situation.
Valuable lessons and life experience are embedded in victories and defeats, in turning points and crossroads. We may not always get the results we seek, but we are always in line to become a little wiser and a little bit better of a person as a consequence.
Mine The Gold In Any Situation
Expanding What You See – What is happening here?
Remember the children's magazine picture games? The instructions read: Find 8 items hidden in this (seemingly straightforward) picture. At first, you are stumped…then, suddenly, the more you examine the picture, the more you realize that things are not what they seemed at first glance. You can employ these same skills to spot new opportunities in the way you "picture" a challenging situation.
Take your blinders off and start with a good hard look at the dynamics of the current reality. Analyze what is really going on. Concentrate on tapping into the nuances. Identify the real or potentially real gains and benefits associated with the situation. Dig deeper. What is happening here that I or we can leverage? Remember that even crises and upheavals have their upsides. As an Asset-Based Thinker, you see and capitalize on the assets inherent in every situation—especially when they are invisible at first glance.
Maximize the Upside – What do I want to make happen here?
Given the assets in this situation, how can I use what is happening (whether I like it or not) in order to achieve worthwhile objectives. Which skills and talents do I or we need to move forward in a positive way? What are the keys to my success? Ask yourself (and others involved) to set specific, worthwhile objectives to be achieved as you engage the challenges and pushback at hand.
The best way to mine the gold in any situation is to find out what is meaningful and worthwhile about the situation, then take action to "milk" the situation for all it's worth. Find out how you can use even upsetting moments to inspire great solutions and ensure that everyone involved benefits in the short-term and the long run.
Minimize the Downside – How can I prevent or contain the losses?
In the midst of personal setbacks, business downturns and resistance to change, you may be tempted to look at all the things that are going wrong or could possibly go wrong. That, of course, can be overwhelming. Magnifying what is "worst" can even lead to panic and despair. Those fear-based thoughts feed a deficit-based downward spiral. There IS a better way to contain unwanted consequences.
Make desire based outcomes the source of your strength and power. Identify the one or two real or potentially real problems associated with the negative situation, upheaval or resistance. Then create concrete strategies for minimizing the negative consequences of each problem. Next, get in action. Measure your impact. Revise your strategies if necessary. Stay the course.
A Helpful ABT Tool: Shifting From Threat to Challenge
In any given situation that you see as a problem, disappointment or setback, use this ABT Tool to shift from threat to challenge. You are far more effective and proactive when you are motivated by the "promises of victory" than you are by the "fears of defeat".
Step One. Ask yourself, "What do I fear most about this situation? What are the real or potentially real losses associated with what's happening?"
Step Two. Ask, "What can I or we do to eliminate my fear? What can I or we do to minimize the fear of change or loss?"
Step Three. Given this situation, what are the possibilities and opportunities for myself, others, team or organization? How could I/we grow or benefit? What could I/we learn?
Step Four. How can I/we put our drive and enthusiasm for achieving these possibilities and seizing those opportunities to work?
One final thought.
"I have always believed and still believe that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way, we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."
–Hermann Hesse

Different Takes On Top Managers
Your article "The top managers of 1995" (Cover Story, Jan. 8) begins: "Good managers know how to cut: They trim costs, reengineer, and restructure. Great managers know how to grow: They realize you can't shrink your way to greatness." You took the words right out of my mouth.
Dwight L. Gertz
Mercer Management Consulting
Lexington, Mass.
I would have gauged the success of my "top 25 managers" by measuring the number of jobs they created in 1995 instead of how many divisions they spun off, how many plants they closed, or how they circumvented antitrust laws to create another megamerger.
When I was a teen, I used to enjoy reading business magazines because they were filled with stories of entrepreneurship and industry leaders who were bringing forth new technologies and new services.
I congratulate the 1995 winners, but I hope the 1996 list of top managers will be composed completely of industrialists who have fostered employee loyalty and grown their companies, without "downsizing."
J. Tyler Ballance
Hampton, Va.
Your story was noteworthy as much for its inattention to people skills as to its focus on dealmaking and financial results. Is an excellent manager simply a person who achieves outstanding results regardless of how he or she treats the people who do the work?
Under this definition, anyone emulating a robber baron would qualify as a top manager.
David Frances
EAP Systems
Woburn, Mass.
C. Michael Armstrong at Hughes Electronics got credit as a top 25 manager.
However, the other side of the story is how he beat Hughes employees: Tens of thousands were laid off (despite substantial increases in profits), plants were closed in four locations, severance benefits were cut 50%, corporate 401(k) contributions were reduced, jobs were moved out of the state and country, other jobs were outsourced, and employees were blocked from transferring to other Hughes Group divisions that have jobs. Hughes is also trying to take $1 billion out of the employees' retirement fund.
These are the employees Mr. Armstrong congratulated for their contribution to cold war victory.
John Chevedden
National Organization of Downsized Employees
Redondo Beach, Calif.
It would be an obvious comment for me to say shame on the U.S. that only two females appear in your top 25 managers of 1995. Your magazine probably does not need to revisit its selection criteria, however you can do something about the subliminal messages that continue to skew the male-female ratio of upper management to the country.
Chauvinist Award of the Year must go to BUSINESS WEEK for the biased writing that slated the tiny paragraph on Ana Patricia Botin more to her father than to her. As if that weren't enough, you gave the slant even more visibility by subheading the paragraph "Like father like daughter."
Has Ms. Botin really done so little as her own person? In that case, why is she even on the list of the best 25 managers of 1995? Get conscious!
Meredith Rutter
Publicom Inc.

I was surprised to observe the notable omission of IBM's Lou Gerstner in the top 25 list.
Shiv Kumar

BUSINESS WEEK should at least have given honorable mention to Caterpillar's Donald Fites.
Hanns John Maier
Ubatuba, Brazil
I noted your description of the accomplishments of Alain Prestat of Thomson Multimedia. One of the key selling points of its satellite dish is its size. But the size of the dish is 18 inches, not 12 inches.
Peter Au-Yang
You should have included Bob Allen, CEO of AT&T, the executive who made not only the smartest but the gutsiest business decision of the year.

Rye Malt has a unique spicy rye flavor for the production of great rye beer. In addition, it can help build flavor and develop complexity in many beer styles, all the way from medium flavored lagers to dark ales. Or you can use it to make a great single malt whiskey. Recommended usage is to start in 5% increments until desired flavor is reached, we also recommend adding rice hulls when usage levels approach 20%. Product information… Store in a temperate, low humidity, pest free environment at temperatures of <90 ºF. Improperly stored malts are prone to loss of freshness and flavor. Whole kernel diastatic and preground malts are best when used within 6 months from date of manufacture. Whole kernel roasted malts may begin experiencing a slight flavor loss after 18 months.

Basement addition foundation questions
I am putting a 16'x16' addition on my house. I have decided to go with a full basement addition under it, which will be connected to my existing unfinished basement. I have 8" thick poured walls with brick facing. The new addition will also be done with brick faced forms. I have a few questions about this process and the contractor seems to be pretty non-chalant about it, so I thought I'd get some other opinions.
1. How should the new addition be attached? Bolts, rebar? Should the existing walls be notched out and the new ones poured within them, or just butted up?
2. My existing foundation has Form-A-Drain on the inside and socked 3" tile/rock around the outside. My soil is very sandy, and I've never had a problem with leaking in the 5 years we've been here. I have never noticed the sump pump running, even during heavy rainfall periods. So, what should I do for drainage around the addition?
3. What should I do for waterproofing on the new walls? The existing foundation has damproofing to grade.
I appreciate any info anyone can provide!
Good reply above, especially the last suggestion. But check local code, they have the final say. And find a contractor that builds to 'code +' specs. Building to code is just getting by, 'code +' goes a step further, and usually results in fewer porblems over time.
Thanks for the replies. Does anyone else have any input?
rebar as post'd,,, those of us in the waterproofing trade'd probably choose a trowel'd-on coating of sonneborn sonolastic ( or equilavant ) protected by pvc dimpleboard ( miradrain ) leading down to 4" perf pipe in a filtercloth lined trench cover'd by 3/4" stone,,, the spec, far's i know, is still 3mil dampproofing ( roll'd on asphalt emulsion ) not acceptable for my home :mad: ESPECIALLY that cold joint ! ! !
I would have your concrete contractor drill rebar dowels into the existing footings and walls in order to make sure your new foundation moves with the existing foundation. Also, even though you mention you don't have a water problem, I would install a vertical waterstop at the cold joint between new/old walls. You can get a peel and stick bentoninte (sp?) waterstop specifically for this application.
that's why we have google :laughing: bentonite - w r grace - sonneborn - miradrain - sonolastic - euclid chemical ( euco ),,, none of the above're avail at the apron stores - that's why its above your pay grade :thumbup: pro const supply houses carry these products,,, good luck ! ! !

Full Report: Hanks-White
By Francisco Salazar
Unbeaten Heavyweight Joe Hanks may be a devastating boxer-puncher. However, Hanks knew better to slug it out with a fighter who has more knockouts than he has fights as a professional. Hanks was able to mostly outbox hard-hitting Johnnie White throughout six rounds, winning a unanimous decision before a sellout crowd of 1,410 at the Marriott in Irvine, CA. The bout headlined a "Battle in the Ballroom" card, presented by Roy Englebrecht Promotions.
Prior to the bout against White, Hanks had knocked out his last three opponents in a row. Although Hanks was physically bigger than his opponent on Thursday night, he did not want to risk slugging it out against a fighter who knew little about other than what his record indicated.
White had lost two of his three previous fights prior to his bout against Hanks, both by knockout. However, White began his career by knocking out 14 of his first 15 opponents.
Hanks started cautiously from the opening bell, moving to the right of White during the first round. He was able to jab and follow it up with an occasional right hand.
"One punch could change the outcome of a fight," said Hanks, in his dressing room after the fight. "I didn't see any tapes of him, so I was a little cautious. I just went out there to try and figure him out."
Apparently, Hanks felt that he could take the best of what White had to offer because he began to let his hands go more. Hanks was able to throw more right hands to the head. Some did not land, but when the punches connected, White did not want to initiate any exchanges between the two.
"I felt his energy going down," analyzed Hanks, who has become a regular of sorts in Irvine, having now fought six times at the Marriott. I took his best shots early. I covered up really well because he's a dangerous fighter with experience."
White did little during the middle rounds. When he did throw punches, it was in the hopes of capitalizing on a mistake by Hanks. However, Hanks was not in any danger throughout the bout.
White actually had a decent fifth round. He was able to sneak a few right hands to the head of Hanks. However, towards the end of the round, Hanks put together a combination to the head that stunned White. Hanks was about to follow up with another combination when the bell sounded to end the round.
Hanks began the sixth round strong, hoping to catch White if he was still affected from the previous round. However, White recovered and tried to fight back. However, White was not busy or effective enough to offset Hank's offense, which was not his best, but enough to control the fight until the final bell.
All three judges scored the bout in favor of Hanks, with scores of 60-54, 60-54, and 59-55. Fightnews.com scored the bout 59-55 in favor of Hanks.
"Looking back, I could've pressed the issue more. Maybe I should have picked him apart more. But, I was happy to stick to my game plan. I stayed busy and focused. My main objective was that the fans got a good show and their money's worth."
Hanks, from Newark, NJ, improves to 14-0, 9 KO's. White, from Lake Charles, LA, drops to 22-3, 18 KO's.
In the co-main event of the evening, Heavyweight Scott Alexander stopped Charles Tucker in the first round of a scheduled four round bout.
Alexander was coming off of a four round majority decision draw against Marcus Dickerson in April. Tucker stopped Ben Davis, who was making his professional debut, in the first round back in May.
After a dull opening minute, Alexander pinned Tucker in a corner and landed a right cross to the head, followed by a left hook to the body. Tucker abruptly went down to one knee. Although he beat the count, Tucker said something to referee Zac Young, who waved the fight over at 1:24. The stoppage brought a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Alexander, from Los Angeles, goes to 6-0-1, 4 KO's. Tucker, from Detroit, MI, falls to 3-3, 3 KO's.
Mendez decisions Osuna Super Welterweight Paul Mendez won a six round split decision over Angel Osuna.
Osuna controlled the first round of the bout, beating Mendez to the punch. After the first round, Mendez was the more effective fighter of the two. He controlled the bout by effectively countering with right hands to the head of Osuna.
Mendez wobbled Osuna in the third round by landing a hard left hook to the head. Osuna was able to hold on and survive the round. Although Mendez repeatedly landed counter right hands to the head, he was not able to land the decisive blow to drop Osuna. To his credit, Osuna tried to fight back, but would leave himself open to get hit repeatedly.
One judge scored the bout 58-56 in favor of Osuna, while the other two judges scored the bout 60-54 and 58-56 in favor of Mendez. Fightnews.com scored the bout 59-55 in favor of Mendez.
Mendez, from Bakersfield, CA, improves to 6-1, 2 KO's. Osuna, from Coachella, CA, falls to 4-3-1, 2 KO's.
Rivera too much for Suarez Super Welterweight Ruben Rivera stopped Johnny Suarez in the first round of a scheduled six round bout.
The taller Rivera pressed the action from the opening bell, forcing Suarez to back up. As Suarez' back was against the ropes, Rivera landed a left hook to the chin of Suarez. Almost out on his feet because of the punch, Suarez was in no shape to continue, prompting referee Zac Young to immediately stop the bout at 44 seconds.
Rivera, from Maywood, CA, goes to 5-1-1, 4 KO's. Suarez, from Burbank, CA, drops to 6-4-2, 4 KO's.
Contreras rallies to KO Clark Super Bantamweight Richard Contreras had to overcome two rounds of being outboxed to knock out David Clark in the third round of a scheduled four round bout.
Clark started out strong in the first round, landing hard combinations to the head and body. Clark also found a home for lead left hooks to the head, as he moved in and out of Contreras' reach. Contreras attempted to counter Clark with one punch, a right hand or right uppercut as Clark pressed forward. It was the same in the second round as Clark was the busier fighter, although Contreras pressed the action.
Contreras was able to land more against Clark in the third round. Contreras was able to hurt Clark with a right hand, following it up with a left-right combination to the head, dropping Clark to the canvas. Referee Zac Young began to count, but waved the fight over instead at 1:51.
Contreras, from Riverside, CA, goes to 3-0, 2 KO's. Clark, from San Diego, CA, falls to 2-2, 1 KO.
Shidaev stops Soto Welterweight Yakub Shidaev stopped Demetrio Soto in the third round of a scheduled four round bout.
Through the first two rounds of the bout, Soto landed the cleaner and more effective punches. Soto, who was fighting for the first time in almost two years, countered with hooks and crosses to the head and body as Shidaev pressed forward. In the second round, Soto suffered a gash on his hairline due to an accidental head butt. Soto had a hard time adjusting to the blood that would seep down beyond his forehead.
Because of this, Shidaev had a strong start to the third round, landing more punches to the head. Shidaev was able to land a hard right hand to the head, dropping Soto to the canvas. After Soto stood up, he tried to fight back, throwing anything he could. However, Shidaev landed at will, especially to the head, prompting referee Jack Reiss to step in and stop the bout at 2:36.
Shidaev, from Northridge, CA, goes to 4-1, 1 KO. Soto, from Los Angeles, CA, drops to 5-2, 4 KO's.
– Interim world title holder Alfredo Angulo, Heavyweight contender Manuel Quezada, female contender Carina Moreno, and former world champion-turned trainer Robert Garcia took in the action from ringside.
– Three amateur bouts and a mixed martial arts bout also took place on the card.
– Promoter Roy Englebrecht told Fightnews.com that this is the third sellout in a row at the Marriott in Irvine.
– Next "Battle in the Ballroom" card will take place at the Marriott in Irvine on Thursday, October 28th.
– Ring announcer was Mike Hart.

Fire Walking HTML version
Fire Walking
ÐEngine 5 and Aerial 5 respond to a four alarm building fire, 615 E. Market, at the
Salvation Army building." It is very rare for the guys from 5's to make it to a downtown
building fire. We had been watching the glow over the tree line and listening to the
progress of the fire on the radio. Ordinarily, we would switch the radio to "alert' at 8:00
PM. Tonight, we have left the radio set to "monitor' so we could tell what was going on.
As we headed north for the long run downtown, it was clear things were out of hand.
Before we cross Pawnee, flames are occasionally visible above the trees. It is a giant
fire. Arriving on Market, red and white rotating beacons mix with smoke to make
swinging swords of light flashing everywhere. Engines and ladder pipes have even
found their way to the overhead railroad tracks. Surrounding the shell of the old hulk is
all the spare equipment still fit for use for firefighting. The old building is reduced to a
pen, a corral with a caged monster. The stiff Kansas breeze has whipped the air into
whirlwind of fire walking and kicking at the walls.
I have seen little fire funnels before, in a trashcan or a dumpster, but now, a living,
breathing, walking and above all, an eating demon, is consuming all the wood and tar
and paper and punk board that goes into the guts of an old building. The heavy brick
walls are notched for the heavy timbers that held the floors. The timbers were "fire cut'.
The beveled ends of the timbers pull out of the notches without levering the walls into
rubble. Instead, floor after floor and finally the tar roof have fallen into the basement
leaving just an open top box of bricks. All the windows are consumed or melted. All the
glass is gone from the walls. The wind enters these openings and whips the villain into
an eating frenzy. The rotating tube of fire roars. The roof is doing just what a roof should
do. It is repelling water from the burning debris under it. The fire is so hot, water falling
into the building is beaten back as steam. Those of us operating nozzles from ladders
are impressed with the sound of the beast when it comes near. The noise is like a jet
airplane throttled up for takeoff.
Aerial 5 is setting up in the space between the building and the raised railroad. Too
close, I think but no chief asks a firefighter. In fact, the area around the building is so
crowded with engines and aerials, there is little other space to place more equipment.
The monster is in an oscillation, now. Dropping out of sight then jumping straight up 300
- 400 feet. A shower of embers is windswept hair pouring out of the top of the funnel
whenever it reaches it full height. The bricks are now beginning to crumble and
disintegrate. A crack runs from foundation to top edge at the northeast corner. The
people occupying that section of wall are making a hasty retreat as the wall grows more
unstable. The fissure grows wider at the top for five minutes before the wall begins to
fall. It comes apart and reaches out further than the wall is high. Bricks are pelting Aerial
5. The crew has seen the wall falling. They are refugees on the far side of the aerial.
The beast has broken his pen and now the monster explores the world beyond his
walls. The flame lashes the aerial with its fiery scourge. But, it is a last gasp. The walls

A nativity play for the Neighbours set
Mary and Joseph are just mixed-up kids from the suburbs in new Australian play B.C. Robin Usher reports.
NICOLE Da Silva and Ashley Zukerman spend most of their working lives running down back lanes as attractive young members of the television series Rush. But they are looking forward to ending the year performing in the limited space of the Arts Centre's BlackBox Theatre.
Their first project in 2009 was the modern classic play This Is Our Youth, and the rest of the year was spent on Rush. It is proof of their commitment that they are returning to the stage instead of taking a holiday, even after being told Rush will return for a third year in 2010.
''I felt quite drained at the end of shooting but I was quite happy to say yes to the theatre job,'' Zukerman says. ''I think the mix is perfect because theatre and television skills inform each other.''
Da Silva agrees. ''Theatre is a joy - it's my first love. My loud voice and big gestures were made for theatre. It's a nice surprise to do TV.''
The pair play Mary and Joseph in B.C., a new work by Rita Kalnejais that tells the story of the family of Jesus in a modern setting. Mary is a hairdresser living with her parents when she develops a romantic interest in Joseph, who works as a store clerk.
The play is directed by Simon Stone for his company, the Hayloft Project, with the support of the Arts Centre's Full Tilt program.
Zukerman says the play is really about teenagers exploring their spirituality and sexuality. ''The audience knows it will end with the birth of Jesus. That's what gives the play momentum. It is about everyday kids in extraordinary circumstances, not just the divine.''
Da Silva, who was raised a Catholic, says she initially felt the responsibility of playing Mary, but now realises that this is just the character in the world created in the play. ''It's a home story, a coming-of-age story, an examination of a dysfunctional family,'' she says.
It is Kalnejais' first play, although she has directed and written a short film that won her a scholarship to the Sydney Film School. She trained at the Victorian College of the Arts and is best known as an actor. She has performed in three Malthouse productions, including Moving Target in 2006, directed by Benedict Andrews. She will feature in productions at the Malthouse and the Sydney Theatre Company next year.
Kalnejais acknowledges that B.C. could be controversial but says that is not its intent. ''Big questions are asked and there is a mixture of understanding and confusion in it. But it's a love story and ultimately it's hopeful.''
She was an ''obsessive Catholic'' growing up in West Australian mining towns before moving to Perth.
''I've always been fascinated by expressions of divinity in the world,'' she says.''The story of the virgin birth implies the de-sexing of women and that drives me insane. I'm interested in the idea that when sexuality is denied it will show up somewhere else because it is such a large part of who we are.''
She says there is no figure representing God in the play. ''There are divine references but there is no word-of-God voice-over. I want my own voice.''
B.C. opens at the Arts Centre's BlackBox at 7.30pm on Wednesday until December 19. Visit www.theartscentre.com.au or book on 1300 182 183.

Published: 16 June 2011

PLANS to hand over three libraries to community groups look likely to be delayed – or even scrapped – as councillors were told they must, by law, look at the decision again.
Four Conservative councillors have forced a "call-in" of the strategy, the process where the wisdom of council policies is reviewed again by special request.
Only last week, Labour cabinet councillors at the Town Hall voted to make £2m worth of cuts to the library budget over next three years and the plan for branches at Hampstead Heath, Chalk Farm and Belsize Park to be handed over to community groups.
Other changes included scrapping the mobile library service, closing the Regent's Park branch for an unspecified time and starting a search for money to fund the Highgate branch.
Tory councillors Don Williams, Andrew Mennear, Kirsty Roberts and Claire-Louise Leyland jointly signed the call-in and said the decision to do so was because they felt the policy of handing over three libraries to non-council groups breaks council policy.
Cllr Williams said: "There is not enough clarity. With the libraries set adrift, will the people be able to use them as if they are council services?"
The four added that refusing a six-month delay to draw up alternative plans would damage attempts by groups such as the Heath and Hampstead Society and the Friends of Heath Library to manage the sites.
Leisure chief Labour Councillor Tulip Siddiq said: "We do not find ourselves in an ideal situation because of central government cuts, and we are making the best of it. We have people wanting to follow up on our plans but we have had to delay because of this."
Meanwhile, according to the Friends of Heath Library, there has been little progress to form a new body to run the Keats Grove branch. The City of London, who manage the building, have ruled out a "white knight" rescue. It currently lets the building to Camden for a peppercorn rent on the understanding that it is used for a library. A City of London spokesman said: "We will not be taking over the day-to-day management, but we are exploring options."
Heath library treasurer Lee Montague said: "In the precarious position the Heath Library finds itself in, it would be a goodwill gesture if a Camden library officer would allow us information on the library's running costs, which could mean talks can start. So far nothing has been forthcoming."
Camden Public Libraries Users Group chairman Alan Templeton said: "There is a little hope the call-in will allow Camden to reconsider its decision. All things are possible but Camden does not appear minded to be sensible. Councillors have not thought things through.
"They expect that there will not be any later repercussions from the struggles of the community organisations which take over Belsize, Chalk Farm and Heath Libraries."
Unison convener Philip Lewis said the call-in was nothing more than scoring political points with the taxpayer footing the bill. He said: "This is grandstanding and nothing else. This option will go ahead, and this is pure political opportunism, which will just cost the taxpayer money which could have been spent on library services."

Kozhukattai is a popular South Indian sweet dumpling which is generally made as an offering to Lord Ganesh. On the day of Ganesh Chaturthi (birthday of Lord Ganesh), we offer this Kozhukkattai along with fruits, payasam (kheer), vada, etc. There are sweet and savory version for this dish. Today I am going to share the recipe for sweet kozhukkattai. It is filled with sweetened coconut.
- Rice flour - 2 Cups
- Shredded coconut - 3/4 Cup
- Powdered Jaggery - 1/4 cup
- Cardamom - 3 Pods
- Ghee - 1 tsp
- coconut oil – 1 tsp
- Table Salt - A Pinch
- Water - 150 ml
Method of Preparation:
Preparation of Dough:
- Boil 150 ml of water in a pan.
- Pour 1 tsp of coconut oil and a pinch of salt in the boiled water and turn off the stove.
- Slowly add rice flour in 3 to 4 batches stirring continuously without forming any lumps.
- Now turn on the stove and over low heat keep stirring until it leaves the sides of the pan and a thick dough is obtained. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Dough will be a little sticky. Turn off the stove.
Preparation of Puran:
- Add powdered jaggery in a thick bottomed vessel or kadai and add a little water (around 2 tbsp).
- When it melts, filter the jaggery syrup to get rid off dirt and pour back to the pan.
- Let it come to a boil and when it starts thickening add shredded coconut and mix well.
- Add 1 tsp of ghee and cardamom powder and mix it well till a thick soft puran is obtained.
- Roll the pooranam into small balls, size of marble.
Preparation of Kozhakattai:
- Make small balls from the dough.
- Press in the middle and make a dent and make it bigger like a cup and drop a teespoon of puran into it.
- You should make it big enough to be able to hold the puran.
- Very slowly brings the ends together over the top of the filling and tie it together to form a knot.
- Repeat the same procedure with the other balls.
- Once you are done, grease your idli plates with ghee or coconut oil.
- Arrange the kozhukattai in the idli plates and steam cook for 10 minutes (just like how you make idlis).
- Turn off the stove and remove them from the plates.
- Now the sweet kozhakattai is ready.

Have you noticed a sudden influx of international chefs to London recently? And that visiting chef pop-ups of the Michelin-starred variety are popping up everywhere?
Well, as you'll have probably gathered, they are in town for the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards. The highly regarded award, now in its 11 th year, draws some of the world's best chefs to the city. With their arrival however, came the slew of pop-ups.
Why not showcase their skills? After all, they are already in town.
Indeed many of these chefs are worth seeing in action, not only for their food, the demonstration of skills but also for the local knowledge that they can share. For the average person, it's a great insight into some of the world's best chefs, their food and their restaurants.
It all comes down to cost...
The problem is, these events come at a great cost.
Take The Lab Event at the Tobacco Dock for example, the tickets cost a princely sum of £75 for an evening's entertainment. For that, you get access to a handful of chef demonstrations, albeit from some of the hottest talents in the industry such as Alex Atala (D.O.M.) and James Knappett (Bubbledogs), plus four dishes and two drinks.
I toyed with the idea of buying a ticket and then asked myself, "am I even getting food that's cooked by the chef that I want to see"? The answer was, "probably not".
Close to the real deal...
Another option was Craft at Viajante which offered a different "50 Best" chef every night. It's probably as close you'll get to the full experience of the visiting chef's food without being at their restaurant. But at £135 for an eight course tasting menu, excluding wine and service, it's a hard pill to swallow.
Similarly, Harrods hosted the Identità Golose lunch with seven Italian chefs totalling 13 Michelin stars. At £150 for a seven course sit down experience, the extended meal, which took place over several hours, was billed "lunch of a lifetime". On the plus side, there was selected wine matching too.
At the cheaper end of the scale, and perhaps the best value, was the Observer and Phaidon hosted Cook It Raw. For £40, you're treated to talks and discussions from the likes of René Redzepi (Noma) and Albert Adria (previous El Bulli) but you also get a copy of the Cook It Raw book which costs £35 on its own.
The downside is, you don't get any food so feeding your mind will have to be enough.
Why so costly?
Working in the industry, I can understand why these special dinners are so costly to put on. There's the cost of the chefs and their teams coming over, transportation of equipment and of course shipping in the ingredients themselves. Added to that is the premium for a brand - the celebrity chef.
It's almost acceptable if you get a great meal at the end of it because you really are saving on the expense of travelling to a restaurant that might be on another continent.
When I went to a Chef Showcase dinner at Viajante last year (similar to Craft this year) with Mauro Colagreco (Mirazur) as the guest chef, I had a great meal. There were some really interesting dishes and unusual techniques being used. I didn't actually pay for the dinner myself but at £80 for more than eight courses, it really was a bargain.
Given the price hike this year, I did wonder, is inflation really that high?
Bite the bullet and do the real thing...
Having tried Colagreco's food in London, I made the time to visit his restaurant Mirazur in Menton last year. It was, as I was told all along, so much better and more real than what can be reproduced in London. And with tasting menus starting from 68€, it really was much better value.
Much of it was down to produce - Colagreco has his own organic gardens in Menton which feeds the restaurant. Some of it also comes down to what dishes can be produced in one night only as was the case in London.
Of course, there are plenty of more costly restaurants out there and Mirazur is often cited as an exception to the rule. But when you're getting a true experience - the reason why these restaurants are garnering the accolades that make them worthy visits, isn't it so much better to be spending the same amount of money on that better experience?
If you're thinking about taking on the real deal, this year's list for World's 50 Best Restaurants is available at www.theworlds50best.com.
