Musty smelling basement with a floating floor
I have a beautiful finished basement with a floating floor. When I open the door to the basement it smells musty primarily in the stairwell. It doesn't smell musty under the floating floor when we open up to check the sump pump. It is ventilated with a fan and it doesn't smell musty when you smell the air outside blowing from under the floating floor. What could be causing the smell and what do I do?
Do you have carpet on the steps of the stairs to the basement?
How old is the house?
How long has it been "musty"?
What do you have stored under the stairs - in the space under the stairs?
is the stairwell enclosed or open? I had a sealed staircase that rodents chewed a hole into. A cat got in there and died. Then the rats ate the cat. When I found it, there was the dis-articulated cat, several dead rats, and about a centimeter of solid rat feces. And a bunch of chewed walnut husks.
Moral of story: an enclosed stairwell can hold all sorts of surprises.
re: musty smell, i had a very small leak towards the end of the wall (bottom of the stairs) that went undetected for awhile. you may want to check that area
Even better was my bathtub. When we bought the place, I knew bathroom had rot, water was leaking 'cause the drain wasn't connected. So there we were taking stuff apart and went to lift up the bathtub.
I kid you not, walnut husks poured out of the bathtub walls (one of those hollow walled built-in dealios), out of the stud bays, everywhere. That scene from Lord of the Rings, the skull avalanche? That was us, with walnuts.
Entire generations, nay, dynasties of squirrels had been busy packing walnuts under the tub, in the tub walls, then into the stud bays floor to ceiling.
I filled five and a half contractor bags full of walnuts that weekend.
Later, when we tore down the ceiling, yup, ceiling joist bays were full over the bathroom too.
Mildew and other fungi will grow in cement. That you have a sump pump indicates the water level is close to the bottom of the basement. My suspicion is that even though you are using your sump pump and don't smell mildew when you check it and other air from beneath the slab, you have mildew living in the slab. This is usually visible as a thin layer of white powdery stuff on the surface of the cement. Due to the porosity of the cement, it is likely living through the slab, not just on the surface.
A disenfectant will kill it, but not eliminate it as a potential problem. If it is limited to one area, perhaps the "french drain" is not working well enough in that area. One suggestion is to drill a small hole through the slab in the area where you smell your problem. The slab is probably too thick to use a garden moisture meter, but a GFCI extention cord and a drill will ground fault if the ground is moist beneath the slab. That will happen when you drill the hole through the slab.
Good luck. Molds and fungi can be dangerous.
Thanks. :)
may simply be condensation in box..may have to insulate or relocate piping ...should be able to use moisture meter at inside wall to see if there is excess moisture in wall near smell..
The biggest question in my mind is first where is the source of the musty odor? That should provide clues to what you need to do to alter the scenario.
At first I thought maybe your french drain has a low spot near the bad smell area. If so, I think the musty odor would be present in the sump pit. That would be difficult ($wise) to fix.
Since you do not have an odor in the sump pit, the musty odor could be coming from the ground, against the house, above the sump pit level, near the odor. This could be from under a porch or driveway. I suggest that you study the flow of ground water (roof drains, ground slopes, connections to public plumbing, etc) Maybe that will add something of importance to your thoughts.
I recently had a job (for bugs) and the old old house had a musty odor in the crawl space. I could not find any damp soil or mold in that crawl space. The owner later found out that there was an old sewage vent pipe that was open inside a wall rather than going out through the roof. It took more than a year to find the source of the musty odor. Fixing it solved health concerns, and was cheap (materials). I don't know how he found it.
Good luck, don't give up.
I installed a floating floor in my basement and had to remove it because of the smell. From what I have gathered from various contractors, floating floors should only be used in basements that are BONE DRY. Even the slightest bit of moisture will cause mildew and mold to grow.

Very nice weave pattern with texture but no sharp edge to catch,
If you use it for braiding or kumihimo, the inside width is 3/8 inch.
As you would see the inside of the braid through the weave, you may have to be careful of how you finish it so it looks well done.

Health & Harmony
It is time to wrap our minds around this concept once and for all. It is time to accept the idea of change as a part of Life.
Nature, our Mother, demonstrates daily, through daybreak and nightfall that change.
Time, marked by watches and calendars, heralds the movement forward of seconds, minutes, hours and days.
All manner of Life moves forward in its own way.
Seasons change from hot to cold. Flowers bloom and die. Is it death?... or merely change? Surely, they bloom again. In their own time. In the next season.
So, we too, are a living, breathing part of this grand orchestration of Life. Each one of us is born, blooms, produces fruit and then, apparently, dies.
I write this column today in memory of a beautiful flower whose bloom has faded. Ann Reinhardt passed this week to her next Life. Ann was a very private person who never wanted to be the center of attention, let alone the subject of a newspaper article! Ann, forgive me, but, your Life deserves celebration. A quiet beauty, wearing that red coat and pushing the ubiquitous baby carriage, Ann could always be seen traveling the well worn path to and from P.S. 114. Our boys went to school together and grew into a tight knit brotherhood that continues now through college. They never grew apart, they grew up together. The Reinhardt boys are your produce, Ann. They are a perfect reflection of your beauty, kindness, generosity and gracious good manners. I remember John would come to a sleep over bearing a box of cookies or cake. After his high school graduation, I received an honest-to-Goodness hand written Thank You note with an opening, body and closure describing my gift and how it would be used. It made my Mother's heart proud. I received the same type of note after your birthday party this summer, Ann. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," the saying goes. Your Earthly Garden of Delights is ripe with your children. Each and every one of them, a precious and unique tribute to you. I am afraid that you can't hide your Light under a bushel basket. And, as you would prefer, you don't have to have the focus on you. Your family, Greg, Michael, John, Ann and Megan, will continue to shine the Light for you. Well done, my friend. I am proud to have known you.
In tribute to you, I wrote this for your family, Ann:
Let Life go on.
In my own way
As I've always lived.
Fully Present.
Fully conscious of you
And your needs.
The outer appearance of
My Life has changed.
Not my Heart
Not my Soul.
These are Eternal.
You, my children,
are the Breath of my Breath,
The Heart of my Heart,
The Soul of my Soul.
We can never be separated.
Born of Love,
Nurtured with Love,
The essence of Life.
There is no death;
Merely change.
My embrace is wider,
My reach is broader,
My Love is deeper.
Surrender to the concept
Of change
To Universal Consciousness.
I am always present.
-- Nancy Gahles
Ann's passing was a turbulent one. As I am fond of saying, "To be a woman is not for the faint of heart!" She was a woman of extraordinary courage and faith. Be assured she made it home safely. I hope this reading from Bishop Brent lifts our spirits to hers:
I am standing upon that foreshore, a ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There! She's gone!"
"Gone where?" "Gone from my sight, that's all," she is just as large in mast and spar and hull as ever she was when she left my side; just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at that moment when someone at my side says, "There! She's gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" And that is dying.
May the Blessings Be!

Lyme disease research studies often require generation of ticks infected with the pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi, a process that typically takes several weeks. Here we demonstrate a microinjection-based tick infection procedure that can be accomplished within hours. We also demonstrate an immunofluorescence method for in situ localization of B. burgdorferi within ticks.

Lyme disease is caused by infection with the spirochete pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi, which is maintained in nature by a tick-rodent infection cycle 1. A tick-borne murine model 2 has been developed to study Lyme disease in the laboratory. While naíve ticks can be infected with B. burgdorferi by feeding them on infected mice, the molting process takes several weeks to months to complete. Therefore, development of more rapid and efficient tick infection techniques, such as a microinjection-based procedure, is an important tool for the study of Lyme disease 3,4. The procedure requires only hours to generate infected ticks and allows control over the delivery of equal quantities of spirochetes in a cohort of ticks. This is particularly important as the generation of B. burgdorferi infected ticks by the natural feeding process using mice fails to ensure 100% infection rate and potentially results in variation of pathogen burden amongst fed ticks. Furthermore, microinjection can be used to infect ticks with B. burgdorferi isolates in cases where an attenuated strain is unable to establish infection in mice and thus can not be naturally acquired by ticks 5. This technique can also be used to deliver a variety of other biological materials into ticks, for example, specific antibodies or double stranded RNA 6. In this article, we will demonstrate the microinjection of nymphal ticks with in vitro-grown B. burgdorferi. We will also describe a method for localization of Lyme disease pathogens in the tick gut using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy.

Here we demonstrate a microinjection-based procedure for rapid and efficient infection of nymphal Ixodes ticks with the bacterial pathogen B. burgdorferi. We also describe a confocal immunofluorescence procedure for the detection of B. burgdorferi in the tick gut in situ. Although our demonstration involves nymphal gut, similar procedures are also applicable for other developmental stages of ticks, such as larva or adults 8,9. However, due to their smaller size, the technique may be relatively challenging for use in larvae, but should be well applicable for use in adult ticks. Other methods of artificial infection of ticks with B. burgdorferi have been developed, such as feeding through glass capillary tubes 10 or by immersion in the culture medium 11. These methods are efficient, simpler and relatively inexpensive. However, these procedures rely on relatively uncontrolled transfer of B. burgdorferi into individual ticks and thus potentially are limited in generating cohorts of infested ticks with equal pathogen burdens. The latter shortcoming could be substantially overcome by more controlled delivery procedures, such as microinjection. In our laboratory, we routinely employ this procedure to transfer B. burgdorferi into ticks with infection rates of nearly 100%, and most ticks survive the procedure. Injected ticks can be kept in the laboratory for several weeks to months, or immediately allowed to engorge on mice and transmit B. burgdorferi infection. The efficiency and kinetics of B. burgdorferi transmission from microinjected ticks are similar to that of naturally-infected ticks, and therefore, artificial tick infection procedures are likely to assist in our efforts to study tick-borne Lyme borreliosis. Additionally, similar microinjection techniques have also been applied for related experimental purposes, for example, RNA interference-mediated genetic manipulation of ticks 6,9,12.
Microinjection of immature stages of ticks is a relatively delicate procedure. It is thus important to verify that the ticks injected with B. burgdorferi are healthy before proceeding to the next set of experiments. Post-injected ticks that have retracted legs and are unresponsive to stimuli, such as exhaled breath or touching with a brush, should not be used for further experiments. These are most likely dead or on the verge of dying from the injection trauma. We have found that the size of the needle tip and injection parameters are the two critical factors in the procedure, as larger needle tips and injection volumes could potentially rupture the gut wall resulting in high tick mortality. It is also important to note that the microinjection settings described here are primarily optimized for injecting B. burgdorferi suspended in BSK media. Other biological materials, such as antibodies or concentrated RNA solutions, could differ in fluid viscosity. For other materials, the optimal microinjection settings, primarily the injection pressure and injection time, need to be determined empirically.

Dixon's work is a re-presentation of house proper, replete with melodies, choruses, vocals, and in some cases, even songs. There are two in particular that sit front and centre as landmarks in this landscape: Tracey Thorn's 'It's All True', played here in its massive Buttrich version, replete with those big-room synth stabs, and Thom Yorke's 'Eraser', in its original version. This last track fits easily into the midst of the mix as a kind of hiatus between the earlier part of the program, which sidles up to New York and electroid disco with its dry, sparse selections, and the latter part of the program.

The paper even cites the rumored Mini iPods as a way to defend its current leadership role. According to the post "the question is whether history will repeat itself."

Big Bang Theory...3 More Years!
Sheldon and Leonard will continue to call CBS home. The network has renewed The Big Bang Theory for an unprecedented three years. According to Variety, the deal runs through the spring of 2017, assuring the Eye that its top-rated sitcom will remain the anchor of its prime time schedule.
Unlike some older series whose ratings drop over time, The Big Bang Theory has enjoyed its best numbers ever in this, its seventh season. Meanwhile, episodes from past years air on both local channels and cable networks. The show averages nearly 20 million viewers a week, four percent higher than a year ago.
Now that the show is set, the challenge will be to lock in deals with the show's stars: Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting and Mayim Bialik.
Check out these hilarious bloopers from season 6.
Thank you so much for stopping by my page for a visit! For those of you new to WMUS, I'll give you a little bit of insight into who Mark Dixon is. For those of you who have been around for some time, you pretty much know everything about me. My life is pretty much an open book.
I've come by my career in broadcasting honestly, having grown up in Kalamazoo as a son of a radio disc jockey. My father was a DJ at WKZO and was the long time "voice" of TV Channel 3 (WKZO, currently WWMT). Years later, my career in radio began in 1978 in the small town of Ottawa, Ohio. From there I had a short stint in Lima, Ohio. Since 1988 my family has called WMUS and West Michigan home.
My interests are bicycling, deer and turkey hunting, bowling, golf, and computers (I've become quite a geek late in life.). I also enjoyed coaching my son in soccer when he went to Fruitport
You probably know that I'm not shy about bragging and talking about my grandkids, Katelyn and Brendan on the air either!

Another key component of change monitoring to be addressed would be the notion of versioning and roll-back. This is a well understood capability that exists in source code control systems and was applied by Documentum among others to the content management problem. Now, we should focus on providing versioning and roll-back to the thousands of configuration settings which comprise a J2EE application stack. Rather than have IT scramble to figure out what has changed when there's an outage, let's just re-instate a known working version of all of the configuration settings. Then, IT can take the analysis and resolution off-line without the pressure to restore service immediately.
3. 'Release Management' is an important forward-looking area of a configuration management solution for application infrastructure. Right now, IT teams use a mixture of scripts and manual methods to deploy changes to application infrastructure settings. New solutions look to apply true automation to this process, insuring that configuration changes are modeled, evaluated and approved prior to deployment. Release management also validates that the process applies changes correctly. This also offers automatic deployment of changes to configuration settings and provides 'out of the box' templates for deploying new versions of an application server or a complete J2EE application stack.
These tasks currently take days to achieve and are error-prone. Applying automation reduces cost and time while advancing quality.
4. 'Audit and Reporting' in a configuration management solution for application infrastructure refers to a capability report on the application infrastructure at a detailed level. This would include reporting on change activity—which applications are driving the most change and causing IT execs the most headaches with SLAs. Currently, this information exists at the server and network level, but less commonly for the applications themselves where change and upheaval is more likely.
Audit and Reporting also measures how your application infrastructure complies with recommendations, standards or your best practices for how the infrastructure should be configured. Which assets are in compliance? Which are out of compliance?
Solutions should also measure change activity. Who made the change, Why, When, and so on. And, it would be appropriate to measure whether changes were made according to your change process or were made outside that process.
5. 'Integration with your IT environment' in a configuration management solution for application infrastructure refers to the ability of the solution to fit with the other elements in the IT ecosystem, like your problem and incident management system, your Configuration Management Data Base (CMDB), a source code management system or your corporate LDAP directory.
Ideally the solution will integrate directly with these items and create a 'closed loop' environment for managing change to the application infrastructure. As an example, when a ticket is opened requesting a change to the configuration setting for the web server, the solution should automate the actual change process, include the ticket number in the reason for change and report back to the incident system so that the ticket can be closed.
This eliminates yet another manual process and opportunity for error in IT management.
Benefits & Summary . The major benefits of a configuration management solution for application infrastructure relate to reducing complexity and promoting compliance for IT. By transforming today's manual, error-prone

Battle of Brooklyn Day
Two Revolutionary War reenactors tell us what it's like to dress up in costume and do fake battle.
Tue Aug 23 2011
Photograph: Marielle Solan
For historical reenactors Mike Grillo and John van Vliet, educating people about the Revolutionary War is serious business. Both men will portray 18th-century soldiers during Green-Wood Cemetery's Battle of Brooklyn Day on Sunday 28, which commemorates the 235th anniversary of the clash, also known as Battle of Long Island. It was one of the first full-blown skirmishes of the war, as well as one of its most important moments. General George Washington and the Continental Army attempted to block the British Army's advance through Brooklyn, but, outmaneuvered and outnumbered, Washington & Co. retreated to Brooklyn Heights, then fled overnight across the East River to Manhattan. Their defeat almost spelled the end of the war. "[British general] Howe was very slow in his response—he could have captured Washington and destroyed the entire Continental Army, and the revolution as we know it could have ended right then and there," says Van Vliet, who will be depicting a British grenadier of the 35th Regiment (he gets to wear a neat bearskin hat).
Grillo will take on George Washington, a role he's been honing for the past 12 years. To get the uniform just right, Grillo looked at portraits of Washington to determine the placement of his ornaments. "You have to make sure everything's accurate, with accurate materials—either wool, cotton, linen or silk," says Grillo. This isn't a cheap hobby; he estimates that a custom-fit coat alone could cost as much as $2,000. To keep the cost down, Grillo has taken tailoring classes and creates many of the articles himself. In addition to obtaining a uniform, each reenactor is responsible for keeping his clothes clean and shoes shined. "There's a practical reason for [maintaining the uniform]—when you have an armed body of men, if they don't have anything to do, that can be dangerous," says Van Vliet. "[A clean uniform] is something the British army was always big on, just to keep [soldiers] occupied and out of trouble."
During the re-creation at Green-Wood, attendees will interact with the soldiers before viewing a weapons demonstration and a small-scale (and bloodless) version of the skirmish. For the demo, soldiers such as Van Vliet's grenadier will be armed with muskets, which they load by tearing into a packet of gunpowder with their teeth before pouring the contents down the barrel. "[Shooting the gun] makes quite a bit of smoke," he says. "We're only shooting blanks—otherwise it would be difficult to convince people that reenacting is a good idea." Blanks or not, reenactors are often called to simulate a battlefield death. What's the experience like? "You lie down, you stay still, and then you wait," says Van Vliet. "And I think it's important to not trivialize battle deaths. You don't often see people making it too theatrical or goofy."

Canada June inflation forecast highest since 2005
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - High fuel costs likely propelled Canada's annual inflation rate in June to its highest level since September 2005, analysts said on Monday, lending weight to the central bank's warning of a brief bout of rampant price growth.
The consumer price index could climb 0.5 percent in June for a year-on-year rate of 2.9 percent, up from 2.2 percent in May, according to the median forecast in a Reuters poll.
That would put inflation well on track to breach the upper limit of the Bank of Canada's target range of 1 percent to 3 percent. Price growth could then continue to speed toward the 4.3 percent peak the bank expects early next year.
"Not only in Canada but globally, headline CPI is continuing to be driven by energy prices and especially gasoline prices, so that's going to be the big story," said Charmaine Buskas, senior economics strategist at TD Securities in Toronto.
"Through the summer months -- July, August and early September -- we could see a 3 percent inflation rate certainly," she said.
Core inflation, which excludes gasoline and other volatile items, will likely remain well contained, with a 0.1 percent gain in June and an annual rate of 1.6 percent compared with 1.5 percent in May.
Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney tried to reassure Canadians last week that the core rate is the best predictor of future inflation and said the impact of higher oil prices will be short-lived.
The explanation came after Carney kept the bank's key interest rate unchanged at 3 percent for the second straight time last Tuesday, despite expectations the economy will grow this year at its slowest pace since 1992. Continued...

Mehner Funeral services for Dessie Mae Mehner, 89, of Houston were held Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2008 at 2 p.m. from Knesek Bros. Funeral Chapel with the Rev. Paul Mathre, officiating. Burial was in National Cemetery, Nelsonville. Dessie was born in New Ulm, the daughter of Ernst and Hertha (Andreas) Mehner.

- Brandon Weeden played like a 28 year old 1st round draft pick, and that's a compliment. He broke rookie QB passing records, and that list includes Bernie Kosar, Brian Sipe, Otto Graham and Eric Zeier to bring the list and the accomplishment back to reality. I was one of the biggest screamers that if he did not improve he would have to get yanked by week 6. After a 26-37 322 yds. 70.3 percent of passes and a 114.9 quarterback rating, maybe he has something.
- Trent Richardson may have just hit the on switch to his NFL career. The game against the Eagles Trent seemed tentative, this game he cut, and he used his compact muscular frame for leverage as he spun his away to passing and rushing TD's another accomplishment never done by a Browns player. 19 carries for 109 yds. (5.7 average) 1 TD 4 catches 36 yds. 1 TD. This is just the beginning for Trent Richardson; I expect big things from him in the coming games
- I can say this about the front office, when they said that Mohammad Massaquoi was ready. They were not lying. 5 catches for 90 yards and always seeming to be in the right place at the right time. Greg Little stepped in and made some contributions with 5 catches for 57 yards and a 1 TD. Josh Gordon was nonexistent. Travis Benjamin is a threat on sweeps. But the big question is where is Josh Cribbs?
- The Cleveland Browns played without Joe Haden or Sheldon Brown in the game and it showed big time. Buster Skrine has no business playing as much as he did in this game. I would rather see Trevin Wade playing in that position. Skrine was bullied and pushed around all game. Skrine and Patterson gave 10 yard cushions all game which allowed for quick slants and a lot of space for running backs to reach the second level. Horrible performance overall from the secondary. To make matters worse is that even with a 10 yard cushion the Browns secondary gave up a lot Big Plays. How does Dimitri Patterson line up off sides twice? TWICE
- The defensive line is giving some good pressure up front, they were the strength of the team and they really play up to that level. Once Phil Taylor returns this young athletic group is going to be a wrecking crew. I am overly impressed with the Defensive line.
- The linebackers are suspect, they play respectable but are not fast enough to fill the holes and usually catch the running back 4 yards down field before they can make a tackle, and they usually ride the guy instead of standing him up. Thank Goodness for DQwell Jackson.
- Special Teams, you are not a threat on kick returns at all. Josh Cribbs you pitty pat your way to the hole. I remember you said to be successful returning kicks you have to run as fast as you can to the hole and use your momentum. You did not do that this game. Did we even get a punt return? The kickoff to start the game is no way to start a game. It killed us, yes we had chances but Cleveland is not good enough to overcome big plays like that.
- Why is Owen Marecic on this football team? I could not believe I was screaming for Brad Smelley during the game. At least let Alex Smith play in that package because Owen is horrible. Alex Smith did make some nice catches during the game. Ben Watson was a no show and w here is Jordan Cameron, they hyped this guy all last season and this Training Camp but the guy can't get on the field
- Penalties played a big part in the loss, 10 for 103 yards is not the way to be successful in the NFL. With the score 10-17 Bengals winning, and 3:48 on the clock Brandon Weeden checked down to Chris Ogbonnaya and he fumbled the ball away after a 21 yard gain. Although we did not give up a score, it took away a big play and made it a turnover.
- I am impressed overall with some of the performance of the team. I can definitely see some improvement, and then there are the areas where I know that no matter what we do as team, there will be no success because of the lack of talent on the team.
- I really like Dick Jauron as the defensive coordinator. This team needs some free agent spark and two more drafts to get us to Super Bowl caliber, which is where we want to be as a team. If Jimmy Haslam follows the Steelers way and build through the draft, it's going to take a few years because we need some playmakers and depth badly.

Landlord tenant law concerns landlord and tenants' rights and responsibilities. Because the apartment you rent is your own personal space, the law places many limits on landlords' activities. For example, if a landlord tries to make you move without giving you enough notice, or ignores a rat infestation in your apartment, a landlord / tenant lawyer knows what options you have as a tenant. On the other hand, a landlord / tenant lawyer also helps landlords who have tenants breaking rules, such as moving out three months early or refusing to pay rent. Tenant eviction laws are very specific, with different rules in each city. If you are being evicted or if you have a tenant you want to evict, you may benefit from the services of a landlord / tenant lawyer.

Accommodation summary
|Nieuwe Gouw, 1028AX Amsterdam - Ransdorp, 荷兰
B&B Biest-Stro can offer you this arrangement in a very surpising environment. The room is located in a large wagon on a nearby farm (see the picture).
The farmer and his son are milking a herd of 600 sheep twice a day and they are making cheese and yoghurt of het sheepsmilk. They appriciate it when you can help them milking or feeding the animals and they are very wiling to tell you about the life and work on the farm. Especially for children the stay will be an unforgettable experience.l
The room has a double bed and the possibility of two extra fieldbeds for children. In the wagen is a kitchen, a fridge, coffee and tea machines, heating and it has electricity. It is competely ready for use, with towels and bedding included. The size of the wagon is 9mx2,5m. Outside you can sit under the tarp (a tent roof) on the garden chairs and tables.
The bathroom is outside the wagon at the farmhouse.

|Check-in before
Mixed reviews on this weekend. 1st Henk was suppose to pick me up from the other side of the ferry and he wasn't there. After finding WiFi in Amsterdam he had messaged saying he couldn't pick us up now. We got a taxi eventually and very nearly didn't find the wagon (late flight meant it was dark) Alex was extremely understanding and kind and showed us around.
The wagon was lovely and has great kitchen facilities. The biggest problem with it was it was freezing, the small electric heater did nothing so we used all the blankets available. (luckily our 3rd guest couldn't make it) It has a comfy double beds but would have preferred a double duvet rather than 2 singles. The 2 camp beds didn't look very comfortable.
Henk made out the bike route was extremely easy and quick, well we got lost on the way there and back to the city and it was very stressful biking into massive housing estates (tower block flats)
Henk was very kind and picked us up from the other side of the ferry. He insisted we brought the bikes back the next day. So when attempting this we got lost again so we had to return because our flight was at 1.
My advice ensure you have. Sat.nav or map!!! And a hot water bottle!
Henk is a very friendly host and so was the farmers. But we were surprised to see that the surrounding of the wagon was different from the pictures showed at the Wimdu page. Just outside the door is a little hill of car tiles and 25 mts from the wagon was a dung hill with 100000 flies, many of them came in to the wagon. It was quite chilly at night, the children's beds were extremely uncomfy, there were to many spiders, Mosquitos and flies to make us feel relaxed. The room where we could shower was completely bare, not even a hook to hang your towel while you were having a shower, and it was not the cleanest. Witch also describes the wagon, it was in a need of a deep clean. It could have been ok for a very less price.
Great host // Great farmers // Great surroundings // Great accomodation // Great experience..We will come another time..that's for sure!
It was a real privilige to have the chance to spend two nights of our honeymoon in the wagon at Alex's farm. Not only did we enjoy his generous hospitality and kind and helpful attitude whenever we had any questions, but he went the extra mile and helped us get back to the city by car whenever he could.
The wagon was very romantic and situated at the edge of the farm facing a beautiful landscape of endless greenery embraced by soothing silence. After the bustling city of Amsterdam, the wagon was a real sanctuary where we could lay our heads to rest and wake up reborn the next day.
The breakfast we received each morning was a rich and delicious basket of dairy products produced at the farm. The portion was abundant and the unmistakable taste of natural, home-made cheese, butter and milk unforgettable.
We highly recommend Alex for anyone who longs for a unique, romantic and cozy experience at the outskirts of Amsterdam.
The Farm was beautiful and the People were nice, the small town is amazing and romantic.
but i think that one should have written in the Advertisment about the bath and toilet they are not in the Wann but about 50 meters away the weather was cold so it was very annoying.
that you are near the sheeps all the time (so you can smell and hear them) is something I should have thought about, but i got used to it quickly.
Accueil chaleureux des hôtes. Le prêt de vélo est très utile et très agréable pour se rendre à vélo dans le centre d'Amsterdam.
Le logement est un peu spartiate (chauffage insuffisant) mais le village charmant.
Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! Die Unterkunft liegt außerhalb und gerade mit Bus und zu Fuß dauert es länger, aber mit dem Fahrrad ist man schnell in Amsterdam. Der Wohnwagen hatte alles was man braucht und man konnte selber kochen.
Die Toilette und Dusche ist rd. 50 meter vom Wohnwagen entfernt und beides teilt man sich mit den anderen Gästen. Man sollte definitv Badelatschen mitnehmen für die Dusche. Man sollte sich bewusst sein, dass man ländlich wohnt. Ansonsten kann ich an der Unterkunft nichts aussetzen.
proche de la ville, le propriétaire toujours disponible .Super petit déjeuner dans un endroit atypique.Seul petit bémol la salle de bien est dans la ferme a 15 seconde de marche
Vier Studenten für ein Wochenende in Amsterdam.
Kleiner schnuckeliger Wohnwagen mit allem was man zum Leben braucht (Geschirr, Gewürze, Kaffee, Tee, etc.). Die Lebensmittel mussten wir in der Stadt einkaufen. Frühstück morgens war inklusive und wirklich sehr lecker! Frische Milch, selbst gemachter Käse und selbst gepresster Orangensaft.
Die Feldbetten waren nicht ganz so komfortabel, aber für Studenten mit geringem Budget ist das egal. Toiletten und Duschen waren im ca. 100m entfernten Haupthaus. Gastgeber wirklich sehr sehr freundlich!
Die Location ist etwas außerhalb von Amsterdam. Freitags Abends konnten wir noch den letzten Bus nehmen. Samstags bekamen wir Fahrräder gestellt. Sonntags mussten wir dann ca. 45 Minuten zur nächsten Bushaltestelle gehen.

Rosenblatt Stadium Tribute Activities Kick Off CWS Opening Celebration
April 26, 2010
Opening Ceremony Day Home Page
(OMAHA, Neb. April 26, 2010) - The 2010 NCAA® Men's College World Series® will pay tribute to its home of 61 years with several exciting Rosenblatt Stadium tribute activities beginning with the June 18 Opening Celebration.
"The College World Series has become what it is today thanks in large part to the student-athletes and fans," said Dennis Poppe, NCAA vice president for baseball and football. "We are excited about the plans in place to celebrate the history of these participants, as well as the countless people who have contributed to making Rosenblatt Stadium synonymous with NCAA baseball."
"The Road to Omaha is a journey that's paved with wonderful memories and experiences for both the student-athletes and fans who have been coming to Rosenblatt Stadium since 1950," reflected Jack Diesing, Jr., president of College World Series of Omaha, Inc. (CWS, Inc.). "Through their participation, the memories of Rosenblatt will be preserved as a living legacy of what this remarkable stadium has meant to Omaha and Division I collegiate baseball."
The special tributes get underway on June 18 when the NCAA will be stationed in the Fan Fest area to videotape fans, coaches and student-athletes as they share their memories of Rosenblatt Stadium. Excerpts from these interviews will be shown on the video board throughout the Series.
Ongoing events in the NCAA Fan Fest area outside Rosenblatt Stadium include interactive games, contests, prizes, displays and photo opportunities presented by the NCAA and its family of Corporate Champions and Partners. Open team practice sessions will continue all day inside Rosenblatt Stadium, followed by autograph signings presented by NCAA Corporate Champion AT&T®, held one-half hour after the completion of each team practice. Baseball skills clinics for youth players will also be held throughout the day.
The 2010 College World Series Road to Omaha® Jam concert featuring country music singers Julianne Hough and Bucky Covington III will start at 6 p.m. in Rosenblatt's southeast parking area, immediately followed by Opening Ceremonies inside the stadium. A highlight of this year's Opening Ceremonies activities will be the introduction of the CWS Legends Team, which represents those student-athletes who had the best College World Series performances throughout the 60 years the event has been played at Rosenblatt Stadium. The team will consist of 27 members: two former student-athletes per fielding position, four pitchers, two designated hitters, three head coaches and two utility players.
The 95 nominees include every former student-athlete who was voted onto a previous CWS anniversary team (25th, 50th and all-decade teams), as well as individuals who played in the last 14 years as determined by a blue-ribbon panel from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, the Omaha World-Herald and NCAA staff. The final CWS Legends Team roster will be announced in early May and team members will be invited to the final College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium.
Other family oriented activities during Opening Ceremonies are:
- A performance by the 45-member U.S. Air Force Heartland of America Band.
- A demonstration by the Special Ops Para-Commandos Parachute Team.
- NCAA academic award presentations and introduction of participating teams with video board highlights.
- A fireworks finale.

The next evil socialistic controversy, set to bloom next week, has to do with Obama trying to brainwash your children. You may have heard of it already.
Obama is giving a speech to schoolchildren next week, September 8, which will be the first day of school across much of the country. The speech is just your standard stuff. He's going to encourage kids to study hard and stay in school and do their homework. Yawn.
But the Department of Education has promulgated some classroom activities related to the speech, and they were stupid. Here they are. It includes questions like:
What is the president trying to tell me?
What is the president asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the president challenging me to think about?
That's all it took. They're going crazy on the right about indoctrination. There's a movement afoot to keep children home from school that day. This is going to build and build.
The classroom activities - there's no evidence the White House played any role in those - were highly ill-advised. I've read my share of education-bureaucracy documents, and this one smells a lot like many of the other ones I've read; a kind of over-eager and misguided do-gooderism that can indeed seem a little creepy. If this had happened during the Bush years, I admit that I would've found it disturbing.
In normal times, whatever those were, this would've been a minor kerfuffle. The White House would've said, as it has, that the wording in some of the departmental documents wasn't what it should have been and has been modified, and everyone would have accepted that, with the possible exception of a small number of arch-conservatives who wouldn't have been taken seriously even by most members of their own party. In other words it would have been adjudged what it actually was: a bureaucratic error from which the White House properly distanced itself.
But in these times, it's going to be a huge story in the right-wing echo chamber. Another piece of evidence that Obama is not really American, has an evil secret agenda - now not just for you but for your children.
This will never, ever end. It's depressing. Of course, bureaucrats should be helping these people load their metaphorical guns with dumb language like that. But this kind of attack is just never going to stop.
Obama needs to understand this. I'm not yet sure what he should do about it. But they want to kill his presidency, and some even probably literally want to kill him (e.g. the "pastor" who prays for his death), and they're so obsessed and so unconcerned about whether their attacks are truthful that they will do and say anything. It's a sick situation.

The Canisius College volleyball team will be back in action this weekend when the Golden Griffins host two Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference matches in the Koessler Athletic Center. The Griffs enter the weekend with a 3-11 overall record, 1-2 in the MAAC. The team picked up its first conference win over Marist last Sunday with a five-set victory by scores of 30-24, 22-30, 30-26, 25-30, 15-12.
The Griffs will play host to conference power Fairfield on Saturday at 7 p.m., before hosting conference rival Iona on Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Blue and Gold are led by the freshman duo of Christina Wildes (Long Beach, N.Y.) and Kim Hoffman (West Babylon, N.Y.). Wildes leads the team with 145 kills on the season, and ranks 10th in the conference with 3.085 kills per game. Hoffman leads the team with 166 digs through the team's first 14 matches, which is good enough to rank her sixth in the MAAC in digs per game with 3.46.
Junior setter Kelly Sieber is the league leader in service aces, averaging .60 aces per contest. She leads Canisius with 29 aces, which moves her into 10th place all-time in service aces scored in one season.
Jennifer Debee (Boca Raton, Fla.) is currently ranked second in the conference with a hitting percentage of .322. Last weekend the junior middle hitter was credited with a team-high 12 kills in a three-set loss at Siena. She leads the team with 11 solo blocks, and is third with 89 kills.
Fairfield enters the KAC with a three-match winning streak. The Stags defeated conference rival Iona 3-1 Oct. 24, upping their record to 12-9 overall, 4-1 in the conference. The Stags' lone MAAC loss was to St. Peter's College Oct. 14, 3-0. The loss snapped Fairfield's 50-match winning streak.
The Griffs won't have much time to rest after Saturday's match with Fairfield, as the team is scheduled to get right back on the floor Sunday against Iona. Iona is 9-10 overall, 2-2 in the conference.
The Gaels are coming off the conference loss to Fairfield, which snapped a three-match winning streak for the squad. Junior outside hitter Kathy Kunath leads the offensive attack for Iona. She is tops on the team with 242 kills, while also adding 27 service aces.

A BT IP Connect global network gives Tech Mahindra better connectivity at lower cost
A company that advises the world's leading service providers on business transformation is sure to be well connected. But with 24 locations in 14 countries served by ten different WAN suppliers, Prabhakar Sarwade faced a network management challenge that was growing by the day.
To make things simple, he wanted one company to take care of everything, everywhere. He chose BT.
Now, a network based on the BT IP Connect platform connects all Tech Mahindra's global offices and nearly 35,000 people. Teamwork's easier. Client service is better than ever. And Prabhakar has cut costs by around 75 per cent too.
Tech Mahindra has worked in partnership with BT for a number of years and we have always been impressed by the quality of its people. BT demonstrated an in-depth appreciation of our objectives, and proposed a solution that met our global connectivity requirements in every respect."
- Prabhakar Sarwade, Corporate Head of Procurement, Tech Mahindra
In less than 20 years, India has emerged as a global leader in the software and services industry. At the forefront of that success, Tech Mahindra focuses on systems integration and business transformation consulting for the global telecoms industry, and is the chosen partner for a host of service providers around the world. Majority owned by Mahindra & Mahindra, one of the Top 10 industrial houses in India, the company has nearly 35,000 staff and operates through a network of development centres and sales offices right around the world.
Tech Mahindra's global wide area network (WAN) had developed organically to keep pace with evolving business needs but, with increasing complexity, the company was facing an ever-more-difficult management challenge. Tech Mahindra had around ten different suppliers of WAN services all offering different SLAs. Its network was becoming costly to manage, and application performance issues and network bottlenecks were threatening to impact service to its customers.
Tech Mahindra undertook a detailed review of its current and future requirements. The objective was to identify a single supplier who could provide cost effective WAN connectivity to all Tech Mahindra locations around the world, as well as underpin the company's global expansion plans. The new infrastructure would need to provide rock solid availability and resilience, while enabling the convergence of voice, data, and internet services.
After evaluating proposals from global and domestic network vendors, Tech Mahindra chose BT: a company they had worked with successfully for a number of years.
The result is a fully managed WAN based on a BT IP Connect global network platform that reaches 24 Tech Mahindra locations in 14 countries across five continents. Locations served include its headquarters in Pune, as well as Sydney, Denver, and Edinburgh.
The network supports up to six classes of service and enables business critical or time sensitive applications such as VoIP to be given higher priority over traffic such as email and internet access. BT continually monitors network and application performance, the latter through its Connect Applications service. Potential issues are responded to proactively to avert service-affecting problems. A dedicated BT service desk provides a single point of contact for problem reporting and billing enquiries.
The new network had to be rolled out rapidly for maximum business impact. BT established a dedicated implementation team, and commenced with a full network utilisation audit to help shape the final network architecture. BT completed the transition exactly on schedule without significant network downtime.
The managed BT IP Connect global solution is provided under a five-year contract. It has transformed global network performance for Tech Mahindra – resolving bottlenecks, improving application performance, and increasing resilience – at much lower cost. As well as coming in at around 25 per cent of previous WAN expenditure, the BT solution has freed up some 15 Tech Mahindra people who used to manage its network. They are now able to focus on improving service.
Tech Mahindra is also making substantial savings on international call charges. A lot of its voice traffic is between India and the UK. By routing much of this over the IP Connect network the company has been able to cut call expenditure by around a half.
The increased bandwidth and consistent SLAs – together with the benefits of the Connect Applications service – have enhanced the performance of business critical applications, improved response times, and enabled productivity improvement throughout the company.
Prabhakar Sarwade concludes: "We now have a much improved global network architecture with high levels of redundancy, which has proved extremely reliable. As well as lowering cost it is without doubt helping us to improve business efficiency and customer service."

Taxi system helps Blue Plum goers get home safely
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - The Blue Plum Festival is three days of vendors, art, food, and lots to drink.
The festival is a busier time for bars and restaurants, and Friday night proved so at Numan's Sports Bar. Owner Dan Numan says, "We have a capacity of 326. We were at capacity by 8 p.m., and it was one-in and one-out basis."
But when Blue Plum goers decide to drink, there's an option to get home safely thanks to Holston Distributing Company. It's called the Bud Light Alert Cab. Bartenders have tickets behind the bar, or vouchers for discounted taxi rides. "They're little business card-like tickets. The bartender has to sign it, and the customer signs it, gives it to the taxi driver. They present it back to Holston for their money," Numan says.
Holy Taco manager Elizabeth Helbert wrote six vouchers Friday night. She says she looks at how people are talking or stumbling to decide if they need one.
Bud Light pays for $10 of cab fare, and the destination has to be to the person's home. The $10 card covers most places in the Johnson City limits, but the cardholder will be responsible for any fare that exceeds $10.
Walter Whaley, manager of W.W. Cab Company, says Blue Plum is a busy time for him too. "The telephone rang continuously from about 12 a.m. to about 4 a.m. It seemed like everybody in Johnson City wanted a cab at one time," he said.
His company drove eight people home Friday night through the Holston vouchers. He doesn't mind the crowds as long as people get home safely. "We look forward to Blue Plum because it brings a lot of business to the downtown, and it keeps our cabs rolling," he says.
Holston was unable to comment on the program, but when you're out enjoying Blue Plum Saturday and Sunday, the company wants you to get in a cab, not a car.

Bar We Love: Branch in Mississippi
Chef Robert St. John's latest outpost, Branch, is worth the drive to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for its killer cocktails and laid-back rocker vibe. Here is what you can expect when you go.
The Vibe
This pre-Prohibition cocktail den was refurbished in the fifties—think dark wood and dim lighting mixed with mid-century modern furniture. The crowd ranges from spiffy professionals drinking clever cocktails to grad students drinking Mississippi beers like Lucky Town and Lazy Magnolia. But bourbon is the star, with a 100-plus hooch portfolio that includes a 13-year-old Van Winkle Family Reserve rye and Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection varieties.
Shaking Things Up
After developing the 1,000-bottle wine portfolio for chef Robert St. John's food empire (including Purple Parrot Cafe and Crescent City Grill), bar manager Dusty Frierson moved on to conquer the craft cocktail scene at Robert's newest outpost.
First Round
Get a taste for Branch's experimental edge with the Left Banke ($9), a riff on French cocktails with elderflower, sparkling wine, and lemon syrup added for brightness.
Second Round
Go pro with the Nine Pound Hammer ($9)—bourbon with coffee-infused Cynar, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon, and sugar. "I lean toward the bitter, boozy, and stirred," Dusty says.
Best Bar Snack
Get the pork cheeks ($9) served with black truffle, potato, and watercress, or try the lamb-shoulder carnitas ($9)—a fan favorite.
Tip Jar
For the best deal in the house, ask your bartender for a dram of a single barrel—think a 12-year-old Elijah Craig for about $8 (normally $16). A flight tasting of all four whiskeys cashes out under $14.
Make It At Home
Left Banke
Combine 1½ Tbsp. elderflower liqueur (such as St-Germain), 1 Tbsp. simple syrup, and 1½ tsp. fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. Cover with lid, and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled (about 30 seconds). Strain into a 10-oz. stemmed cocktail glass, and top with 6 Tbsp. sparkling white wine (such as Cava). Garnish with a lemon peel strip.
Makes 1 serving. Hands-on 5 min., Total 5 min.

do SO love these.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
do SO love these.
OMG, I am so impressed! I made one of these and spent hours on it!!!
Very pretty and I am sure the recievers of these will love them!! Merry Christmas and God Bless You, too!
what a wonderful way to say 'thank you'
I saw the tutorial on these but is there also a written pattern for them...that says how much fabric is needed, etc? I'd love to try these for next year!
The more you make the easier it gets. Honest!!Originally Posted by azwendyg
How pretty!
These are beautiful. I'm sure they'll love them.
After seeing them on this board I started making some and it's addictive. They are called Folded Star Ornaments:
Here are other links:
good pics:
best instructions:
Each ornament takes one 3" Styrofoam ball, one 2.5" strip of each of three fabrics (light, medium, dark), some ribbon, a TON of super-fine straight pins, and hot glue gun for putting the final strip around the middle.
At first I was ironing the squares, then got bored and found it worked pretty well without the ironing step.

Another official announcement was the note of a new ultra low voltage Intel Core Duo (Yonah) processor, which the company claims will consume just about 0.75 watts on average "while still delivering high-performing computing power." Sources told TG daily that this new processor will be named Core Duo U2500, has a clock speed of 1.06 GHz and uses 2 MB L2 cache and a 533 MHz FSB. The chip will be priced at $289 at launch sometime this summer.
Should be great for CarPC's. Much more powerful than a VIA and lower power use. Now we just need suitable mobo's.

Faculty File Briefs, Argue in High Profile Cases
American University Washington College of Law faculty have had a busy month, aside from gearing up for the end of the semester. Below are three stories about faculty members actively involved in filing briefs or presenting arguments for three high-profile cases transpiring now.
Weighing in on the Healthcare Battle between States, Federal Government
Professor Steven Vladeck filed an amicus brief this month on behalf of a group of federal courts experts in the Fourth Circuit in the appeal of Virginia's challenge to the individual healthcare mandate.
Vladeck was approached by lawyers at the Justice Department who were concerned that they wouldn't have an adequate opportunity in their own briefs (which are focused on the merits of Virginia's challenge to the constitutionality of the individual mandate) to flesh out the question of whether Virginia, as a state, is the proper party to bring this lawsuit.
"Our brief argues that, whatever the merits of the constitutional challenge to the individual mandate, Virginia is not the proper party to pursue this case, because of the long-standing rule that states don't have 'parens patriae' - standing to sue the federal government on behalf of their citizens," Vladeck said.
"Together with colleagues from other law schools, I drafted a brief to explain why Virginia doesn't-and shouldn't-have standing to pursue this suit, especially given that there are other pending cases brought by more appropriate plaintiffs."
Vladeck and his partners filed the brief on March 7. The Fourth Circuit has since scheduled oral argument for May 10, in Richmond, Va.
PIJIP Files Brief in Information Privacy Case to Protect Patient Privacy
Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP) Associate Director Sean Flynn and Policy Fellow Meredith Jacob filed an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in an important information privacy case in early March.
The brief, filed on behalf of AARP and the National Legislative Association on Prescription Drug Prices, argues that the Supreme Court should uphold Vermont's prescription confidentiality law and overturn the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The case, Sorrell v. IMS (No. 10-779), has broad ramifications for consumer protection and privacy law.
"The Court should make clear that the First Amendment is not implicated when, having mandated the disclosure of medical information, the state protects that confidential information from non-consensual marketing uses," says Flynn.
Vermont's law requires prescriber consent for the sale or use of physician-identifying prescription records for marketing purposes. This data is used to build detailed profiles of physician prescribing habits and track de-identified patients over time. These profiles are then used for aggressive in-person marketing of prescription drugs to physicians, increasing prescription costs and the over-prescribing of the most expensive medicines. Similar laws have been passed in New Hampshire and Maine, and have been upheld by the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
PIJIP's brief argues that when the state acts to protect confidential information required to fill a prescription, it does not implicate the First Amendment. Even when the law is examined under the First Amendment Commercial Speech Doctrine, there is a substantial state interest in protecting patient privacy and the doctor-patient relationship.
"Further, the state has an interest in limiting the undue influence exerted by pharmaceutical marketers – influence that negatively affects patient treatment and increases health care costs," Flynn said.
The State of Vermont's petition for certiorari was granted by the Supreme Court and oral argument is scheduled for April 16.
Bill Snape Argues in DC U.S. District Court for Compliance in Gulf Coast Drilling Operations
On Wednesday, March 9, Environmental Law Fellow Bill Snape, representing the Center for Biological Diversity, argued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that all existing and future Gulf of Mexico oil and gas drilling operations, particularly those with some form of existing authorization, must comply with environmental laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act.
In a lawsuit filed July 26, 2010, the Center for Biological Diversity says Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, and the Minerals Management Service have failed to comply with environmental laws when authorizing off shore drilling both before and after the April 20, 2010 blowout of the Deepwater Horizon drill rig which led to the BP Oil Spill, one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. History. "The Secretary has continued to implement an unlawful policy of exempting drilling plans…from any meaningful [National Environmental Policy Act] review," the lawsuit says.
"This case is about accountability. While the Obama Administration says it has corrected its ways, none of its promises are yet legally binding and dangerous oil drilling by ravenous oil companies continues in the Gulf of Mexico to this day," says Snape, who is senior counsel for the Center for Biological Diversity and lead counsel on this case. "The American public and the fragile Gulf ecosystem deserve iron clad assurances that a disaster like the BP blowout will never occur again."
In its lawsuit, the Center for Biological Diversity is asking the Court to declare Secretary Salazar and the Department of the Interior in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act stemming from their approval of deep water drilling and exploration in the Gulf, and to issue an order halting all outer continental shelf drilling operations approved by the Department of Interior after the BP oil spill.
The case is Center for Biological Diversity v. Ken Salazar, United States Secretary of the Interior, et al. At the end of the hearing Judge Thomas F. Hogan announced that he would issue a written decision on the motions to dismiss shortly.

A graduate of Lansing Resurrection High School (MI), Charles "Charlie" Gorman, Jr. was an outstanding prep
football and baseball player. Charlie went on to attend Michigan State University and played on the varsity
baseball team as a pitcher under the tutelage of Head Coach John Kobs, who also was Charlie's uncle. Charlie
was a member of MSU's 1954 Big Ten Championship Team that also finished in 3rd place at the NCAA College
World Series. During his undergraduate days, Charlie lived with Henry Bullough, former head coach of the NFL
Buffalo Bills and had many friends, including George Perles. His association with people such as these would have
a positive effect later in his coaching career. Gorman was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 1953 and after a
stint in the armed forces was offered a contract by the New York Yankees. Charlie played baseball for a short
time in the minor leagues and then returned to the Lansing area. He began his coaching career at Grand Ledge

Hunter Fan/light and dual switch wiring
So I have searched for a solid answer to this problem but am more confused now than when I began.
I have run new BX 12-3 from a new Hunter ceiling fan/light combo unit#21331 (Home Depot) and a dual function switch #27182 from Hunter also Home depot...
I have my supply coming into wall switch box black/white , my question for anyone is how do I wire up the switch to the fan. The schematics are difficult to understand, the fan instructions are vague and the switch instructions say to refer to fan...confusing!
right now at the box in ceiling I have black to black, white to white black/white to red and of course ground is grounded as per the fan instructions ...any ideas???
Hook the white wire in the switch box with the white wite fron the fan.
Take the black incoming wire and connect to the black wire on the switch.
Hook up the blue wire to the to the black wire feeding the fan, and the red wire to the red wire feeding the lights.
Thank You
Worked like a charm...Thank you very much...I owe you one!

Increasing numbers of liberal economists are gravely worried that the UK has made a wrong turn in choosing an austerity budget. Here Professor John Van Reenen, Director of the LSE's Centre for Economic Performance, explains why the budget measures fulfil only a political logic, and risk creating a double-dip recession.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Pain on top of foot - no redness or visible bruise, but a bit of swelling the size of a 10p coin. probably due to iether (or both) tight shoe laces and running a lot on hard off-road surfaces.
Self diagnosed it as inflamation of the extensor hallucis brevis muscle (used in pulling the big toe up).
I could run if I tied my laces differently, but don't want to aggrevate it. need it sorting as quickly as possible.
Anyone else had it and how long did it take to heal?
Hi dibbers,
Just a quick question - how do you know it's the Extensor Hallucis Brevis and not the Extensor Hallucis Longus?
Kind regards,
Because it's right where this image shows it http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ptlocker.com/images/muscles/extensor-hallucis-brevis.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.ptlocker.com/anatomy.php?mode=view&id=32&sid=77dfc5e2d9e133a6a8b58a51fce2a791&h=441&w=294&sz=45&tbnid=fo0em8NC6pJIxM:&tbnh=127&tbnw=85&prev=/search?q=Extensor+Hallucis+Brevis&tbm=isch&tbo=u&zoom=1&q=Extensor+Hallucis+Brevis&usg=__WceQVXIrLtrldJjmsyWNU4gJZng=&sa=X&ei=iQ8LTpb9BNCyhAe4jY3wDw&ved=0CCwQ9QEwAw

Dave - I couldn't agree more.
dibbers - I was simply trying to help. Aren't you assuming that there's no other structrures in this area (which there are several - I could list them all if you want). If you've self diagnosed your problem, why do you need anyones help - surely you can self diagnose your treatment plan and rehabilitation programme.
Kind regards
No offence was taken, even with your sarcy comment. You're point was quite right, and I agree really. My query was more about how long it could take to heal, if anyone else had had similar. Whether I'm right or wrong about the exact muscle is not too important -it's imflamed (slight spongy lump on top of foot which moves when I pull my big toe up)
Hi dibbers,
Sarcasm - the lowest form of wit - brilliant isn't it!
Enough of that and down to the problem.
Where exactly is the pain and when do you now get it on a daily basis?
Have you recently changed your training programme/regime or your footwear?
Those for starters...
Kind regards,
OK. I have been doing a lot of off-road running, and the ground is very hard at the moment. It's possible one or both of these has caused inflamation to the top of my foot. I have a spongy lump on the top of my foot(area of 2nd lacing point and in the middle) the size of a 10p coin which appears as I point my big toe downwards. It's in the position of the muscle shown on that illustration at the top of this thread. (IMO;-) )
It only really bothers me when my footwear rubs ontop of my foot, worse when I run. if I walk around and even run barefoot in the house for example, it's OK.
I've done no running for 12 days and tried 30 mins on tready yesterday without too much after affects.
Like with most niggles/injuries, is it OK to continue running but control it as much as possible (loose laces, not so long distances) etc, or completely rest and allow it to heal 100% ?
