Adding drainage to existing retaining wall?
Hi all. I live in the North Shore Massachusetts area. My property has a cinder fill block retaining wall probably over 130 feet long with heights sloping from 1 ft up to 6 feet high on the other end. This wall was built back in the 1950's and it is the original wall. Due to having no proper drainage system, the wall is beginning to crack due to freezing and thawing over the winter time. I know this is caused by lack of proper draining system. Can anyone recommend what I would need to do to make a proper drainage system for this wall? I am a DIY and one day the wall will need to be replaced. Landscapers have quoted over $50k to remove and install a new wall system and the stairwell that is attached to it will also have to be replaced. It will take us a long time to come up with the funds but we would like to install a proper drainage system for the time being while we are saving for this future project and to avoid an early wall failure while we are saving. Any ideas on drainage greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. BTW, I saw something on TV about digging a hole every 4 to 8 feet with a fence post digger and dropping in PVC pipes (with holes ?) in the hole and stub the other end of the pipe out of the wall. May require drilling weep holes in front of the wall. Also backfilling the post hole with stones. I could not seem to find any information on such drainage system and what size pipe is needed for each post holes as well as what goes on top of the pipe when it stubs out of the ground. Thanks again.
You haven't got any answers because this is not an easy questions. The system you reference would work. I'd use three or four inch perfotrated pipe but I'm a little perplexed on how you tie the weep hole into the pipe.
Having said that the issue is the pressure behind the wall. No knowing how the wall is built or tied back into the bank makes this s little more difficult.
I think I'd get a couple of lengths of 2" or 1.5" diammeter schedule 80 PVC. I'd drill holes that were oversized by 1/4" where the problems were right at the base. Mkae sure these are 3' or so apart. Now you need to be careful because the whole thing could come down on you head and kill you. I'd take a 24" section of the pipe and angle at the end so it coiuld be used like a giant spoon to scoop the dirt out of the hole and do same. Take a section of the schedule 80 that is 2" longer than the wall is thick and insert it into the hole for drainage making it flush on the front. Try a few and see how it works.
I just want to say thanks to the person who gave the only feedback. I was also able to dig up information from This Old House web site. Here is the URL: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/askt...765678,00.html I have also been keeping an eye on the television station to see if they show a rerun of what I saw in the past as I said in my last post and to date no avail. Soon I will start working on the drainage project.
Thanks :thumbsup:
I debated whether or not to do what was on the link or something similar. The difference is that you have a block wall that is showing damage and there wall was solid poured. In a perfect world you'd dig out behind the wall and lay perforated pipe in a gravel bed wrapped in geo-tex material and run it to day light. With a cracked CBS wall I'd perform the basics as I've outlined and see if that did the trick. If you get digging around behind the wall you could bring the entire thing down.
Do you know where the water is coming from? i would try to deal with that too, if possible.
I have to believe that if a 6' high, 130' wide cinderblock wall built in the 1950's lasted this long, it already has a proper drainage system, and the damage you're seeing now is just because a cinderblock retaining wall isn't going to last forever.
It definately cant hurt to try drilling bleeders thru the wall. As stated before, run 1.5" pvc thru the hole & drill holes in the pvc in the conter. I think it's just as important to drain the water that is inside the block cavitys. Also, drill the holes as low to the ground as possible. You may luck out & find that there may be some drainage stone behind the wall.

I tried this as a sample over a year ago I believe, and bought it a few months ago. I'd never go out of my way to write a review on anything I already have AND have already reviewed, but this scrub is absolutely amazing. It makes my face feel incredibly smooth for days or even a week. I have had problems with redness on my chin (which I believe is called oracea...similar to rosacia), which I have had prescription pills and creams to fix. It went away with the pills, but came back a year later. Used the leftover cream stuff, but didn't get the pills. It was a temporary fix. So I stopped using it. Since I've been using just this product, it has been totally under control. I can't express enough how much I love this stuff!!!!5

The race didn't start until 1:00 pm. This allowed me all day to be nervous and grumpy, and to make the grave error of not drinking anything after 6:30 am because I didn't want to need a bathroom break during the race. I don't know what I was thinking. Apparently I wasn't thinking at all, actually. Flat Stanley should've said something.
As soon as we got there, Flat Stanley saw a college student doing pull ups on a tree limb. He immediately climbed into a pine tree and did some pull ups too.
Then he got down on some soft pine needles and did 400 push ups. This is why Flat Stanley stays so skinny.
It was a warmer day than expected (55*) and I found myself wishing I'd worn a tank top instead of a long sleeved shirt. Check out the purple Zensah calf sleeves my parents got me for Christmas - I adore them!
Flat Stanley was pumped for the race and waved at everyone who passed by. No one waved back. Poor Flat Stanley.
The boys had a 'special treat' picnic lunch before the race started. We don't do Lunchables often, but when we do they sure get excited.
The race started and within the first minute (seriously!) I had a side stitch, the result, no doubt, of abstaining from fluids. This really made for a slow start for me. At 2 miles there was an aid station, and I stopped and drank a bunch of water. The stitch persisted. At 4 miles, I stopped and drank water again, and voila, the stitch immediately vanished and I was good to go.
This is when we ran past a bunch of fields full of cows. Flat Stanley complained about the stench. It was kind of stinky. At mile 5, the hills began for real (previously, it had been gentle rolling hills). Flat Stanley and I started pushing a little harder, glad the side stitch was gone.
Meanwhile, the boys were doing this -
Oh how Flat Stanley whined about those hills. I began to resent all his complaining, and threatened to throw him in a cow pie. He got quiet after that, until he noticed I had a vanilla Gu, then he started saying he was sooooo hungry and could we please eat the Gu? I made him wait until mile 8 to open up the Gu. The last mile had a rolling hill in it, but it certainly felt long at this point. My right glute was sore and complaining, just like Flat Stanley. Finally, we saw the finish line.

I agree with your statment but at the same time i don't. If you purchase a used engine or vehicle off someone else, you do not know how well they took care of the stuff. If the jeep/truck is built, you do not know how well it was built. You can look at it but if they rebuilt the engine, trans, axles, and such....your not sure how well it was put together or if it was just halfassed.
Sucks you just can't take a persons word on," Oh yeah it was just rebuilt 5k miles ago. Ran great when pulled. I trust the guy who built it that i would give him the keys to my house with no problem." Yes I have been told this buy a seller.
As for chucks engine service, I had Rick do the work for me. I went up with some cams and pistons in mind and he recomended a cam i never thought to look at. Told me to go with sealed power pistons insead of KBs since the KBs have a shorter skirt and produce rod knock when cold. Good guy

Bernanke Says Fed May 'Moderate' Purchases in 2013, End in 2014
The Federal Reserve may "moderate" its pace of bond purchases later this year and may end them around mid-2014, Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said.
"If the incoming data are broadly consistent with this forecast, the committee currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the pace of purchases later this year," Bernanke said at a press conference in Washington. "And if the subsequent data remain broadly aligned with our current expectations for the economy, we will continue to reduce the pace of purchases in measured steps through the first half of next year, ending purchases around mid-year."

Wilson argues that we need to take a pragmatic look at nuclear weapons: are the things we've believed of them true? To this end, he examines the historical evidence for the five myths.
Five Myths About Nuclear Weapons
Ward Wilson
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 196 pages
Nuclear weapons will always be with us, right?
Ward Wilson disagrees. That's not explicitly one of his five myths, but it might be a corollary of Myth 5, "There is no alternative."
Wilson has written a gem of a book, Five Myths About Nuclear Weapons. The clarity of its arguments sparkles. The purpose of the book is to encourage people to rethink what they believe about nuclear weapons.
[I should say up front that Wilson is a friend and colleague. He gave one of his first presentations on the Japanese surrender to the Los Alamos Committee on Arms Control at my invitation. I have continued to discuss these issues with him, by e-mail and face-to-face. He provided me with an electronic prepublication copy of the book. He is a member of Nuclear Diner.]
Wilson's objective is to see how those five myths stack up against reality. The myths are
Myth 1: Nuclear Weapons Shock and Awe Opponents
Myth 2: H-Bomb Quantum Leap
Myth 3: Nuclear Deterrence Works in a Crisis
Myth 4: Nuclear Weapons Keep Us Safe
Myth 5: There Is No Alternative
The book makes persuasive arguments against the five myths.
The world inventory of nuclear weapons now stands at around 17,000. That may seem like a lot, but in the twenty-five years since the fall of the Soviet Union, almost three times as many have been taken out of the stockpile. At the moment, however, progress toward more reductions and the coming into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) seems unlikely.
Although nuclear weapons strategy and technology may seem esoteric to the lay public, it is the public who supply the impetus and support to leaders in bringing about nuclear treaties. Public concern for fallout from atmospheric testing led to the first arms control treaty between the US and the Soviet Union, the Limited Test-Ban Treaty. The Ban the Bomb movement of the 1980s responded to hair-trigger intermediate-range missiles aimed from Europe and the Soviet Union at each other and allowed President Reagan and First Secretary Gorbachev to begin that twenty-five-year reduction in nuclear weapons.
Popular support is needed for further reductions, which would include nuclear nations beyond the US and Russia. It is needed as well for passing the CTBT and for making nuclear weapons less desirable to countries like Iran.
But how does that popular support get started? The standard approach toward nuclear issues appeals to fear and morality. Fear and morality have attended nuclear weapons since their beginning. Robert Oppenheimer famously combined them with a quote from the Bhagavad-Gita, "I am become death, destroyer of worlds."
Many antinuclear organizations still appeal to fear and morality. But the public is no longer moved by that appeal. We don't have the urgency of radioactive fallout or a nuclear superpower standoff. Economic problems are much more immediate for Europe and America.
Wilson argues that, in contrast, we need to take a pragmatic look at nuclear weapons: are the things we've believed of them true? To this end, he examines the historical evidence for the five myths.
Will this pragmatic approach help to spark popular support? Hard to say. The public discussion currently consists of thoroughly predictable arguments from all sides. Familiarity breeds tuning out. The message that things aren't as they've seemed could attract attention and reinforce people's sense that nuclear weapons aren't very useful.
The simple concepts that Wilson presents could be easy for people to join together on. But what Wilson presents will be disruptive to the arguments on both sides of the current nuclear weapons arguments. So I expect him to be attacked, sometimes by those who might have been expected to be on his side.
I disagree with a number of Wilson's points, but not to the point of invalidating his overall thesis. And I think that's part of what Wilson is trying to provoke: more discussion of these issues. The United States is likely to be decreasing its defense spending; that should include Wilson's pragmatic discussion of how nuclear weapons serve our defense.
I particularly disagree with some of the points in the chapters on myths number 2 and 4. And I think that deterrence (Myth 3), both nuclear and conventional, is something that needs to be thoroughly rethought in today's post-Cold-War world.
So I will challenge Wilson: let's discuss deterrence in a Nuclear Diner forum. It's a difficult topic and deserves a wide discussion.
The value of the book is that it is written for the nonspecialist. Nuclear weapons policy is too important to be left to the wonks. We need more discussion of why we have these weapons. Wilson:
Now that the Cold War is over, it is time for a conversation that is not overwhelmed by fear and visions of extinction. Let us attempt a pragmatic discussion of nuclear weapons, one characterized by clear-eyed investigation, open minds, and the courage to face uncomfortable truths.
This book starts that conversation.

Prospects for Syrian No-fly Zone Assessed at USIP
USIP gathered specialists on the Syrian civil war to consider the requirements and challenges of establishing a proposed no-fly zone to protect civilians and weaken Syrian military capabilities.
The military, diplomatic and humanitarian dimensions and challenges of a contemplated no-fly zone (NFZ) over Syria were examined by a panel of specialists appearing at the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) on May 29.
USIP takes no position on an NFZ. But the issue and its many complexities need more serious examination and discussion, and there could be "consequences if we fail to give this option all due consideration," said Steven Heydemann, USIP's senior advisor for Middle East initiatives. With the United Nations projecting that half of Syria's population might need international assistance by the end of this year, a NFZ "might be an effective instrument to ensure vulnerable populations receive the assistance they need," he said.
Unofficial proposals for the United States and allies to establish a NFZ have been receiving greater attention as the Syrian civil war moves into its third year, with mounting civilian casualties and the deepening involvement of countries in the region. More than 80,000 Syrians are now believed to have perished and 1.5 million have fled to other countries, according to the U.N. Iran and the Lebanon-based Shiite militant group Hezbollah are ramping up support for the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, and mostly Sunni Syrian rebels are believed to have fired missiles into Hezbollah areas of Lebanon in recent days. The increasingly sectarian character of the Syrian struggle is raising concerns about a destabilizing spillover into Iraq as well as Lebanon.
At the same time, diplomatic moves on the Syrian civil war are intensifying. The Obama administration, with Russia, is trying to organize an international peace conference in Geneva next month. U.S. officials say they are trying to change Assad's calculation about his ability to hang on to power, and they aim to galvanize negotiations that lead to a transition of power to a democratic Syrian government. But Russia, a longtime Assad ally, says that it will proceed with deliveries of sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles to Syria and remains adamantly opposed to foreign intervention. At the same time, the European Union decided this week to allow an arms embargo on the Syrian rebels to lapse, albeit with no immediate plans to arm them.
With the issue of a no-fly zone gaining urgency, Heydemann said, questions about possible military requirements as well as diplomatic and political constraints need to be addressed. The panelists at USIP delved into several such questions.
Retired Air Force Lieutenant General David A. Deptula said that in contemplating a NFZ, it is critical to identify which U.S. national security interests are at stake and what the desired "end-state" of an operation would be with respect to questions like the protection of civilians, Assad's status and the supply "bridge" between allies Iran, Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Deptula, who once commanded Operation Northern Watch over the mostly Kurdish areas of northern Iraq, cautioned about what a NFZ can achieve by itself. "It's not a strategy. It's not a silver-bullet solution," he said. "It's not cheap and it's not risk-free."
A successful NFZ needs not only clear objectives but also clear and concise rules of engagement, as well as basing rights for the enforcing aircraft and personnel, Deptula said. Similarly, decisions about whether to target Syrian leadership and active military units (tactics employed in the Libyan NFZ prior to the fall of the Qaddafi regime) would need to be answered, he said. Compared to the earlier Iraqi NFZ, one over Syria would encounter more serious challenges, he said. Those factors include: ongoing hostilities even without U.S. intervention; a significantly more robust air defense; the active support for Assad from Russia (unlike the isolation of Saddam Hussein); and the near-certain lack of a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing a NFZ.
Joseph Holliday, a fellow at the Institute for the Study of War who is researching the Syrian crisis, said that Syria has purchased more than 600 military aircraft in the last 40 years, with about 200 of them currently combat-capable. He said the Syrian regime appears to be holding its more modern MIG-25 and MIG-29 fighters in reserve for a response to any foreign intervention. Even so, Syrian government air strikes on rebel and civilian locations are running at a faster pace this year than last year, with a peak so far of more than 140 air strikes in February. The Syrian Air Force is "not on its way out," Holliday said, and Syria retains "one of the densest air-defense systems in the world," including some 650 stationary SAM (surface-to-air missile) anti-aircraft sites and 300 mobile anti-aircraft platforms.
Holliday emphasized the spectrum of military options encompassed by a NFZ—from a full-scale air campaign to considerably more restrictive campaigns. "A no-fly zone is not a monolithic thing," he said.
Above all, in considering a NFZ, it is essential "to know our own mind" about what is to be accomplished, said Frederic C. Hof, a senior fellow at the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East at the Atlantic Council. Hof had earlier served with the rank of ambassador as the U.S. special advisor for transition in Syria.
Key issues, including the protection of Syrian civilians, the capabilities of the Syrian military and the future of the Assad regime, "all come together under the broad rubric of 'no-flight zone'," said Hof. He said, however, that term "really doesn't account for the variety of options available" for tailoring a military response to the Syrian civil war.
To prevent "mission creep," he said, specific mission goals should be spelled out. He also said that a presidential decision in favor of a NFZ, in consultation with Congress, represents a decision to "go to war….There is no point in sugarcoating what is involved here." He dismissed what he said were notions of simply declaring a NFZ, calling them "a paper blockade" and insufficient to deter the Syrian regime.
Further, enforcing a NFZ does not necessarily lead to the demise of the Assad regime, particularly with the strong backing it has from Iran and Hezbollah, Hof said. "This is a war Iran and Hezbollah have decided not to lose," he said. "We are not yet seeing this level of resolve on the part of the administration….The administration is not at present committed to a rebel military victory."
Jon B. Alterman, director of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Security and a former State Department official, noted that a NFZ has been discussed throughout the Syrian conflict, but "it keeps not happening." He said that Washington's Arab allies in the Gulf Cooperation Council favor a NFZ for both humanitarian reasons and in the hope of committing the United States more fully to the defeat of the Syrian regime, which they see as a "proxy for Iranian interests." Turkey also backs a NFZ, he said.
Alterman said that the Syrian military is unlikely to be able to mount a conventional military response to a NFZ, but along with Iran it has "political cards to play" to try to undermine political support for such an operation. For its part, he said, the United States needs to be clear about its core strategic interests that are at risk in Syria, including the country becoming "a magnet for extremism across the region."

Georgia Blasts Past No. 13 Texas A&M 12-7
April 20, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. - The University of Georgia softball team recorded 18 hits, the most against a Southeastern Conference opponent this season, on its way to a 12-7 win over the No. 13/13 Texas A&M Aggies on a sun-drenched afternoon on Saturday, April 20 at JackTurner Stadium in Athens, Ga. The win sealed the series for the Bulldogs, who improved to 33-15 on te season and 10-7 in SEC play. Texas A&M dropped to 35-11 on the year and 6-10 in league play.
Morgan Montemayor came into the circle for Georgia with two outs in the bottom of the first and threw the final 6.1 innings to get the win and improve to 10-6 on the year. She through a gem for the Bulldogs, allowing just two runs on five hits and striking out eight batters. Chelsea Wilkinson got the start for the Bulldogs, giving up five runs on three hits in 0.2 innings of work. She also struck out two batters. Sara Mireles suffered the loss to fall to 0-1 on the season. She allowed five runs on five hits in one inning in relief. Lauren Ainsley started for the Aggies and allowed four runs on eight hits in two innings in the circle. The Aggies went to reliever Kristen Davenport in fourth inning and had her throw the final three innings, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks.
Wilkinson struck out the first two batters she faced before giving up a solo home run that gave the Aggies an early 1-0. With a pair of runners on, Nicole Morgan doubled down the left field line that scored Jenna Stark and made it a 2-0 game. Cali Lanphear followed with a three-run home run to right field that put the Aggies up 5-0. Georgia then turned to Montemayor came with two outs in fifth and induced a groundout to short that ended the inning.
Kaylee Puailoa took the first pitch she saw in the bottom of the second up the middle for a leadoff single. Tina Iosefa followed by working a 3-0 count before driving a pitch through the hole in the left side to put runners at first and second. With runners at the corners with one out, Anna Swafford hit a single up the middle that scored Puailoa and got the Bulldogs on the board at 5-1. A one-out single by Katie Browne loaded the bases for pinch hitter Christine Olney, who delivered a hard hit single up the middle that scored Iosefa and Swafford and made it a 5-3 game. With a runner at third, Browne came home a passed ball that made it a one-run game at 5-4. Griffin singled back to the pitcher before being called out trying for third on a single by Paige Wilson.
Georgia scored two runs in the bottom of the third to take a 6-5 lead. Texas A&M made a call to the bullpen and brought in Mireles who got the first out on a pop out. Puailoa then hammered the first pitch she saw over the trees in right field to tie the game at 5-5. With runners at second and third with one out, Swafford singled to left that scored Iosefa for the go-ahead run that put the Bulldogs up 6-5.
The Aggies looked to answer in the top of the fourth, as Brittany Clopton hit a one-out single and moved to third on a Georgia throwing error. Montemayor then struck out the final two batters to end the inning and leave the tying run stranded at third.
Griffin led off the fourth by being hit by a pitch and moved to second when Wilson picked up her second hit of the day with a bunt single. With a pair of runners on, Geri Ann Glasco belted a no-doubter over the pines in right center that extended Georgia's lead to 9-5. With two outs, Sito doubled down the left field line and scored Georgia's 10th run of the game when Swafford tripled off the wall in left center.
The Bulldogs didn't let off the gas, adding two runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 12-5 lead. Samantha LaZear led off the inning with a single, but was out at second as Griffin hit into a fielder's choice. With one out and runner at first, Wilson launched a pitch deep over the left field wall for a two-run home run that made it a 12-5 game.
Texas A&M got a run in the sixth and seventh innings that resulted in a final score of 12-7. Kaylee Rayburn drove in the Aggies' sixth run on a single through the left side. A RBI-single by Lanphear made it a 12-7 game in the seventh, as Cassie Tysarczyk scored on the play. Sito sealed the Georgia win with a leaping grab at second for the final out of the game.
Georgia will set out for its third SEC sweep of the season when it takes on the Aggies in the series finale tomorrow, April 21, at 2 p.m., at Jack Turner Stadium.

7 Habits of Successful Snackers
|Author: Shelly Nolloth

2. Eat a Balanced Snack: A pear instead of Reese's Pieces? You think you're being so virtuous-and you are, to some extent. That pear is largely carbohydrates, but the ideal slow-burn snack has carbohydrates, protein, and, of all things, fat. Carbohydrates are metabolized first and deliver their calories fastest-just ask anyone who has binged on a handful of Jolly Ranchers, felt a sudden and frantic spike of energy, and suffered an equally sudden crash.
Say, for example, you grab a quick snack of saltines, which contain refined-flour carbohydrates: As soon as they're in your mouth, the enzymes in your saliva go to work. In about 20 minutes, the carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which peaks in your bloodstream, turning down your internal hunger alarm. Unfortunately, in about another 20 minutes, that glucose is completely burnt out or stored up, so the alarm starts ringing again.
Fruit, which has more fiber than crackers, will take slightly longer to metabolize. To prolong the satisfaction, you need to add in protein and fat (they often go hand in hand), which take longer to metabolize. So eat that pear with a chunk of cheddar or some low-fat yogurt and you'll be set for a few hours.
3. Snack to Maintain Weight: Snacks can keep you from getting fat. There it is, even though it's the opposite of what your mother spent years nagging you about. According to a recent study in Scotland, eating snacks helps you control both your appetite and your weight, because when you don't arrive at the table famished, you're less likely to speed-eat, overeat, or just sit there emptying the bread basket into your gullet as fast as is humanly possible. (Another theory is that eating more frequently burns calories, because digestion requires energy, at least briefly.)
Most women need about 2,000 calories a day, including snacks. Ideally, you would have five mini-meals of 400 calories, but that's not realistic. (Imagine riding roundup to get everyone to the table more often than you already do.) What's recommended is the traditional "big three," only slightly down-sized, plus two well-balanced mini-meals.
4. Keep Stress in Check: You may recognize the symptoms of stress: fatigue, lack of concentration, short temper, or...a minivan floor littered with candy wrappers and sundae cups. According to a study from the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London, students ate more snack foods and fewer fruits and vegetables when they were under pressure. What triggers a stress case's need to feed is the hormone cortisol, say researchers at the University of California at San Francisco. Cortisol is released during physical or emotional stress, and that increases one's appetite for carbohydrates, especially sweets.
5. Once a Month, Allow Yourself More: Is it that time of the month? Women are most likely to binge or overeat in the two weeks prior to their periods if they've ovulated (most women on the Pill do not ovulate). Menstrual flow is triggered by the secretion of progesterone, which is thermogenic, or calorie burning. Thus, without so much as lifting an extra three-pound weight-or finger, for that matter-your body burns more calories than it does during the rest of the month, and your hunger kicks in to compensate. In a study at the University of British Columbia, women ate an average of 260 extra calories a day when they were ovulating.
6. Crave Calcium and Shun Sodium: You need to start reaching for the right white stuff-the milk bottle, not the salt shaker. In other words, calcium instead of sodium. The recommended daily allowance for calcium is 1,000 milligrams, and most women don't come close to getting enough. What's more, the more salt you eat, the less calcium your body retains. For instance, one 3 1/2-ounce bag of cheese puffs contains 1,000 milligrams of sodium, which will cost you 20 milligrams of calcium, something an osteoporosis-prone woman should think twice about.
7. Drink Lots of Water: You've eaten lunch. You've already scarfed your snack. And all you want to do is curl up and take a nap. When you find yourself lacking energy like this, make your way to the water bottle and down a glass. Studies have shown that fatigue is one of the first signs of dehydration, and when you're run-down, it's easy to confuse thirst for hunger. Airplanes, cars, and office buildings are especially arid and climate controlled, so you may need to make a concerted effort to drink even more water than you usually do. Now, get chugging.

The start if the new year always has a way of turning our gazes forward. For some this is reassuring… for others, intimidating.
This reflective infographic shows where the American populace stands on a variety of different issues that have taken center stage in the 21st century. For example, the ever-pressing issue of our abused environment. A very convinced 72 per cent majority believe that by 2050, there will be a global energy crisis.
Americans were much more optimistic about the next forty years of technological advancements. A full 81 % foresee computers communicating the same way humans do. Many also see space travel for the common man as a possibility in 2050.
Looking at this infographic prompted me to question some of my thoughts on the future. The surveys were very revealing. The population is on the fence about more than a few things. More than half think another world war is on the horizon.
In such turbulent times, what do you think the next forty years hold?
Cheers everyone, have a phre$h new year.2.8k

Birmingham seems to be a pretty cool little city. Second biggest after London. I had a look at the Markets and the main shopping centre. Apparently it's been used for that sort of purpose for about 800 years! The Selfridges is a really cool building. The designer was apparently told to design something without windows, and that was what he came up with.
Visited the Museum and Art Gallery too, these were both really interesting. Huge! I didn't have enough time to see them all!
Went to the Lily Allen concert tonight. Apart from language like a sailor, she was very good. Quite quick though and didn't even do an encore! But she entertained and performed well and sounded quite good too.

$43,000,000 Reaches Havana.
Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. ();

, Section , Page 8, Column , words
HAVANA, April 12. -- With the arrival here today of $43,000,000 aboard the cruiser Cuba, with fifteen members of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank and postoffice guards, Havana settled down with little excitement in banking circles. The National City Bank of New York made extensive preparations to combat an expected run, but no effort was made by creditors to withdraw funds.

The best websites in the world…ever. Vol.26
Growing up there were three things I always wanted to do.
The sites that I've chosen and visit often are to do with those three things.
Because I am a huge fan of Manchester United – like many youngsters, I wanted to become a David Beckham.
Sadly this dream got crushed because 'I was too good' (haha). So almost every
weekend I'm tuned in to the Barclay's English Premier League. If there's any
result or fixture that I don't know about or unsure of, I make sure I visit Ole Ole. Ole Ole has the latest news about
the English Premier league, as well as the best football pictures, videos and
Unlike many kids growing up, I didn't want to become a fire
fighter, pilot, doctor, lawyer etc. I wanted to become a deejay. That's the
reason I'm such a big music lover. NME
keeps me updated with what's happening in the music industry. It has the
latest news about music and artists around the world; and this is not only for
one particular genre of music, but for all genres. My favorite genre of music
is hardstyle.
There are many people who want to travel the world,
something I still want to do. So in the meantime I check out the Cape Town Magazine to find out
about the 'hotspots' in my area. The Cape Town Magazine keeps me informed

This is a great post, very informative. . I have a pending brake job on my '04 JDM WRX. It has the regular 4-pot caliper on the front brakes. Can anyone advise me on the procedure to change pads on this vehicle?
will this be the same procedure for the rear brakes because i am having a hell of a time
here is my brake saga: any help appreciated.
i went cheap (1st mistake) on my replacement pads for my 02 wrx. the new pads did not fit inside the metal clips that are on the upper and lower side of where the pads go. i removed the clips, followed this tutorial (which is great btw), and put everything back on with brand new pads, but without those clips. the new pads fit without those clips, not with them. anyway, everything seemed fine until all of a sudden, my brakes make this obnoxious clickity clack whenever i drive. almost sounds like someone is clapping the pad against the rotor. everytime i check, the pads are in place and look fine. anyway, the noise is hideous and i have essentially reinstalled them three times. i am going to give up and i want true, original OEM parts. does anyone know what is happening or where i can get FACTORY pads (and the clips and plates you need)?
Congressional Lobbyist for the Bugeye Mafia
Pace: Thanks for creating this guide. Hope you don't mind but I PDF'd it and formatted it for easier reading.
My car isn't making the same "clacking" noise youre talking about (yet) but it definitely has a annoying squeek when im about to come to a full stop.. I haven't really broken the brakes in yet either (there's 1,000 theories on the correct way to do this...) so I'm hoping the sound will go away.
one thing to note, they gave me a miserable amount of (pink colored)grease stuff for the pads which i did my best to spread evenly between the plastic and the pads(ceramic). I have heard that lack of grease could also cause the squeek-of-death sound.
sorry this was long--anybody have some insight??
no longer lookn to buy 1 hahaha.. got a sexy blue 02 WRX now!!!
baby mod list:
stage 1 flash, 1$ boost gauge pod, K&N filter, forge BOV, "headlight mod" (blacked out bezel), painted stock rims(black), silencer delete, disabled DRLs, Fog light mod, hella horns, sti scoop, sti wing!
what she said after riding in the rex: "sounds like a bus door opening when you shift"
Hi all.
I followed the guide on the forum and thought i'd share my experience.
I have a my06 wrx (only for 2 weeks now) and it is the first rex i've owned. Anyhoo, to cut a long story short, I need(ed) to change my brake pads as they are pretty worn. Following the guide, I undid the 4 bolts that hold the caliper together on the front, when i got to the fourth, brake fluid started wizzing out from the caliper. I guessed this was wrong, did it back up, found the video for HSPN from this thread which shows a similar but different caliper/brake dismantle procedure compared to mine and got it right. Basically, for the My06, you have one wire pin holding the two metal prongs in which run through the holes in the pad assembly. You remove the wire pin and the prongs slide out. You can then put pressure on the pads/pistons to free the pads and replace as required.
Two things: 1) the pads were the wrong size (if anyone knows the Bendix or similarly priced brand sizing for this model rex, please let me know!)
2) When I opened up the caliper incorrectly the first time, it let a massive amount of air in to the brake line, basically giving me no brakes when i tested them after putting everything back together. I had to bleed the air out and top up the fluid which had leaked (which the level had not dropped on because the air had replaced the volume of fluid which had leaked out)
So anyway, interesting first experience changing brake pads. Definitely learnt a few lessons!
If anyone can recommend an appropriate fitting pad and retailer in syndey, it would be appreciated!
Edit: Just realised this is a US forum so the whole thing about a retailer in Sydney (AU) might not work too well...

Well, I've gone through the brake-changing expereince of both the older 04 models, and the 06 models. I have to tell you, the brake systems are completely different in the 2. The 06 is like you said a double pin holding a tension spring. For my money, I just did the brakes using the "depress the piston" method, which is easier that the "bleed the brake" method.
As for brakes, Hawk makes a good OEM and better-then-OEM for the 06 WRX. While they might not be available in Sydney, you could proably order them online from over a dozen places and have them shipped...
I can do you one better:
Pads Link
This is the SKU you would use for the WRX. There are 2 types:
HPS (better then stock, better bite)
H+ (Crazy bite, maybe a little more then a daily driver not
drag racing would need)
This is not the best price. But, they price match. Just google these and see if you can find them cheaper, and they will match the price. I know I did, but for the life of me can't find the websites anymore.
Thanks for your help Truckster. Got the Hawk pads fitted and so far so good
I've been looking for a good how-to on replacing the 4-pot pads and rotors, and the 2 pot rear pads but haven't found it. Anyone got a link?

man a whole mess of nachos sounds good right now

Air Force Academy Backs Away from Christmas Charity
The Air Force Academy apologized Thursday night after it was accused of religious intolerance for promoting Operation Christmas Child – a program designed to send holiday gifts to impoverished children around the world.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation said military commanders crossed the line when they promoted the gift program, sponsored by Samaritan's Purse, an organization run by Franklin Graham.
Operation Christmas Child said they expect to send more than 8 million shoe box gifts to underprivileged children in 100 countries. Around 60,000 churches and 60,000 community groups in the United States are participating.
MikeyWeinstein, of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said an evangelical Christian message is also included in the boxes.
"This is a proselytizing entity of Franklin Graham," said the group's president, Mikey Weinstein. He filed a complaint on behalf of 132 Academy personnel including two sets of Muslim-American parents.
Brig. Gen. Richard Clark, the Commandant of Cadets, released a statement Friday explaining why the Air Force Academy retracted the e-mail promoting the Christian ministry.
Under orders from Air Force headquarters, Clark said only the Chaplain Corps is responsible for advertising faith-based programs.
"The cadets had nothing but good intentions, but this was something that should have started with the Chaplains, not the Cadet Wing," Clark said. "That doesn't mean the cadets can't volunteer for the Christmas toy drive, they can participate through the Cadet Chaplain Corps."
The attack on Operation Christmas Child has generated outrage across the country.
"It's another anti-faith effort that we are seeing by this administration," said Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA), who just pushed a congressional effort to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the national motto.
"This is beyond political correctness," Forbes told Fox News. "This is an anti-faith mode that we see over and over again coming from this administration and the people serving in it."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Fox News that this is evidence that the Obama administration "has engaged in a culture war beyond measure."
"We see here the collateral damage – the fallout of religious freedom and the attack on Christian organizations that are simply reaching out to help those in need," Perkins said. "This is a long pattern under this administration under a president who apologized for everything that is American."
"It's so outrageous," said Jordan Sekulow an attorney with the American Center for Law and Justice. He said the controversy is an example of the cultural shift happening in the United States.
"This is a perfect example of how heartless these groups are when it comes to defending their anti-religion position," Sekulow said. "It's not about the First Amendment. It's about a real hatred of religious people and people of faith that they would go so far as to stop an assistance program like Operation Christmas Child."
Weinstein refuted that allegation.
"We are not trying to take shoe boxes of toys and candy away from kids," Weinstein told Fox News. "But this is clearly an egregious Constitutional mistake."
The Academy sent an e-mail to the entire cadet wing inviting them to participate in the Operation Christmas Child project.
"As the holidays approach, we have the opportunity to provide the joy of Christmas to impoverished Children around the world," read the e-mail sent to some 4,400 cadets and provided to Fox News. "PLEASE, PLEASE CONSIDER SPENDING SOME OF YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND MONEY TO LOVE ON A KID AROUND THE WORLD!!."
Weinstein said he was alerted to the program on Wednesday after he was notified by an upset cadet.
"The cadet sent an e-mail saying, 'This just shows how our military is supporting one religion – which is Christianity,'" Weinstein said.
He later received a telephone call from Brig. Gen. Clark.
"He said it was a mistake and he would fix it," Weinstein said. "Lady Liberty is smiling tonight. This is a victory for the Constitution."
"We agree that it was inappropriate," Academy spokesman Lt. Col. John Bryan told the Colorado Gazette. He told the newspaper that the initial e-mail was sent by cadets without the knowledge of senior leaders.
Late yesterday, cadets received the following e-mail retracting the promotion of Operation Christmas Child:
"My apologies for the below message as it was not sent to the proper audience. The Cadet Chaplain Corps will be resending through the proper channels and to the proper audience.
Weinstein said he doesn't have a problem with secular toy drives – but Graham's, he said, crossed the line.
"Franklin Graham is a fundamentalist – a total enemy of the Constitution – an absolutely incredible Islamophobe," Weinstein said.
He argued that Operation Christmas Child should have been promoted through the Academy's chaplains – not the entire Academy. And that's exactly where the project rests – in the hands of the chaplains.
"The kids will still get their toys," he said acknowledging that it will only be promoted to a smaller subset of people.
General Clark said thousands of cadets routinely volunteer for various projects.
"Our cadets are outstanding young men and women who consistently give up their time, to include parts of their spring and summer breaks, to help people in need across the country," he said. "The character of our cadets is second to none."
Operation Christmas Child said they were unaware of the controversy at the Air Force Academy.

Who said anything about surfing the internet? I use it to play tunes and do GPS. The wireless modem makes it super easy for me to maintain the computer and update files.

I love it. I've got over 2000 tunes on it now, and it's growing daily.
My friends that have seen it in action think it rocks!

Captain Eli's Best Ear
The little seaside village of Sponkannis lies so quietly upon a protected spot on our
Atlantic coast that it makes no more stir in the world than would a pebble which, held
between one's finger and thumb, should be dipped below the surface of a millpond and
then dropped. About the post-office and the store--both under the same roof--the greater
number of the houses cluster, as if they had come for their week's groceries, or were
waiting for the mail, while toward the west the dwellings become fewer and fewer, until
at last the village blends into a long stretch of sandy coast and scrubby pine-woods.
Eastward the village ends abruptly at the foot of a windswept bluff, on which no one
cares to build.
Among the last houses in the western end of the village stood two neat, substantial
dwellings, one belonging to Captain Eli Bunker, and the other to Captain Cephas Dyer.
These householders were two very respectable retired mariners, the first a widower about
fifty, and the other a bachelor of perhaps the same age, a few years more or less making
but little difference in this region of weather-beaten youth and seasoned age.
Each of these good captains lived alone, and each took entire charge of his own domestic
affairs, not because he was poor, but because it pleased him to do so. When Captain Eli
retired from the sea he was the owner of a good vessel, which he sold at a fair profit; and
Captain Cephas had made money in many a voyage before he built his house in
Sponkannis and settled there.
When Captain Eli's wife was living she was his household manager. But Captain Cephas
had never had a woman in his house, except during the first few months of his
occupancy, when certain female neighbors came in occasionally to attend to little matters
of cleaning which, according to popular notions, properly belong to the sphere of woman.
But Captain Cephas soon put an end to this sort of thing. He did not like a woman's ways,
especially her ways of attending to domestic affairs. He liked to live in sailor fashion, and
to keep house in sailor fashion. In his establishment everything was shipshape, and
everything which could be stowed away was stowed away, and, if possible, in a bunker.
The floors were holystoned nearly every day, and the whole house was repainted about
twice a year, a little at a time, when the weather was suitable for this marine recreation.
Things not in frequent use were lashed securely to the walls, or perhaps put out of the
way by being hauled up to the ceiling by means of blocks and tackle. His cooking was
done sailor fashion, like everything else, and he never failed to have plum-duff on
Sunday. His well was near his house, and every morning he dropped into it a lead and
line, and noted down the depth of water. Three times a day he entered in a little note-
book the state of the weather, the height of the mercury in barometer and thermometer,
the direction of the wind, and special weather points when necessary.
Captain Eli managed his domestic affairs in an entirely different way. He kept house
woman fashion--not, however, in the manner of an ordinary woman, but after the manner

I am from the west side--Olympia area. I almost bought a steel grey wagon, but my last car was a similar color and I decided I needed a change. I like the color and it does not show the dirt. I also noticed in your profile that you have the SPT exhaust--How loud is the exhaust in your wagon? Do you get any drone? I have read that some people get drone in their wagons with that exhaust.
No drone what so ever, it is one of the best exhausts out there in my opinion. It is pretty quiet but you can definetly hear the boxer rumble. I highly recommend this exhaust for someone who wants good sound but not a lot of noise.Originally Posted by HelperMonkey
And I like your Yakima rack. If you don't mind me asking how much did it set you back?

Glad to hear you like the exhaust. I have been considering the SPT when I eventually decide to go Stage 2.Originally Posted by tayhadar1
The crossbar set – round was an optional accessory I negotiated in the price of the WRX. The Yakima bike racks set me back $130 each. Thank you REI dividend!! I know there are some bike racks that are cheaper, but I wanted a bike rack that fits all the different front forks of various mountain bikes. A few thoughts if you are interested in a roof rack. First, get the round crossbar set. While the Subaru standard cross bar kit fits more Subaru accessories, the round crossbar set will fit more Yakima, Thule, and other companies accessories. Second, if you get a bike rack, the fork mount racks are far better for a WRX because the bike is much, much more secure with the front tire removed and the bike secured by the fork. Finally, I did have to cut about an inch off the end of each rack so they would clear the spoiler when I open the rear hatch. I am very happy with the bike racks; I use them all the time and have absolutely no problems. Gotta love the wagon!
That was my plan becuase I plan on going stage 2 this winter or next summer. Thanks for all the info on the racks; I think I will check those out before ski season and get some on my car.Originally Posted by HelperMonkey

Lukey Paul From Labrador
by Adelaide Leitch
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Reason for Reading: Read-aloud to the 10yo to go along with our history curriculum.
This little chapter book is part of the "Buckskin Books" series. Early chapter books meant for those who have just started reading on their own. The type is large and the line and a half spacing is used between text lines. The stories are all Canadian historical fiction and some popular Canadian authors & illustrators of the time pop up on the list of contributors.
Ten year-old Lukey Paul lives in Labrador and has caught himself a silver fox. He is especially proud as this fur is rare and should bring in a full winter's supply of provisions for himself and Uncle 'Lige. He catches a ride with Wilfred Grenfell on the Princess May as the doctor/missionary goes along the coast tending to peoples who need his care. Lukey is proud and selfish thinking only of his silver fox most of the time and in the end gets swindled for his fox. Later on, he learns a lesson that makes both him and others happy and satisfied in the end.
The story is very well-written, full of adventure and dangerous escapades as they travel on the sea. My son is partial to sea-stories so really enjoyed that aspect of the book. We learn quite a bit about Wilfred Grenfell as we watch him on this expedition along the coast and see what it was he did to aid the peoples in this region. His doctoring and teaching the "Eskimos" to produce items for re-sale are the main focus, and while the book doesn't dwell on it also doesn't shy away from his Christian mission. The "Eskimos" are portrayed with respect and not written down to as one might wonder about a book written from this era. I found nothing objectionable in the book at all, except, perhaps, the use of the word "Eskimo" but then that is the word that was used at the time the book was written and historically would be the correct term used in the 1890s although it would have been spelt Esquimaux. Another enjoyable out-of-print find for us.

Advanced marketing automation technology makes it possible to create tailored customer experiences across channels. Yet with multiple transactional events occurring online and offline, the marketer has to identify key life stage opportunities, or risk being overwhelmed by data and thus ineffective.
I was lucky to moderate a panel on this topic at the National Conference for Database Marketing in mid-December. We developed a 14-step "blueprint" for marshalling all the resources – human and technology – in order to build a process and system for efficiently creating repeatable and custom customer conversations.
This is no small task. Years of planning, adoption of new technology, database enhancements, and team training go into it. Most of the hard work is in getting the right people in the room, collaborating and negotiating priorities, and making informed decisions around which data to use and which customer needs to address. One marketer told me recently that having too many people in the room was their biggest barrier, until they finally got the courage to hurt a few people's feelings and forge ahead with a smaller team that could focus and bring value to the rest of the organization. Some internal teams welcome being just a customer of the marketing team – rather than a participant – but many organizations have decentralized marketing functions that make this discipline hard.
"We started out thinking we needed an email service provider (ESP)," said Andrew Bailey, marketing specialist advisor, customer engagement marketing, FedEx, on the NCDM panel. "We quickly recognized that there is a whole discipline here that helps us think and act across marketing and service channels. Four years in, we are happy with where we are."
Data is like the crack-cocaine of digital marketing. It's powerful and intoxicating, but also can quickly overwhelm us. Not having enough of the right data means we make poor business decisions. Having too much data sometimes means we lose focus or become paralyzed. The trick to effective messaging that is at the right time and channel for the customer is to select the right data for the current life stage.
Most marketers make messaging decisions in terms of campaigns. Segments and audience populations are driven from the offer strategy. However, it's possible to take that up a notch, as marketing intelligence and technology can allow customer experience to lead. Some of the most effective marketing is that which starts with the life stage (e.g., download, purchase, customer service request, renewal) and responds to subsequent actions. While multi-touch efforts can be complicated by a multi-channel approach, it's important to customize the experience so that messaging is aligned with the channel.
For FedEx, this could be an e-mail confirmation of a shipping order but an SMS alert when the package arrives. Banks may send monthly statements via e-mail, but give me a choice of receiving an SMS alert if I'm nearing my spending limit. Retailers rely on e-mail marketing to drive online and store traffic, while at the same time using SMS alerts for local events or product availability notices. Travel companies have effectively expanded into mobile and social by identifying the types of messages most welcome – and most actionable – in each channel. On my way to the airport, I often get a text alert inviting me to take advantage of an airline seat upgrade. E-mail that is checked on the mobile device could work as well, but only if the customer self-identifies as a mobile e-mail reader.
To reach these kinds of custom marketing opportunities, Bailey talked on the panel about how important it is to have the human collaboration across the organization. Technology alone doesn't create great marketing. It also takes an attitude of adoption and a commitment to customer experience, coupled with access to the right kinds of data and easy-to-use systems.
"Test and learn, test and learn – we start out with a pilot phase for proof of concept," Bailey says of the approach at FedEx. "For example, it used to take us eight weeks to get an email out, but now we can message worldwide in 24 hours. We achieved this through a series of iterative steps. Our new level of responsiveness changes the game for our business units, and elevates the internal discussion to a whole new level of data-driven decision making," he says.
Take a look at the blueprint and tell us how your approach is similar or different. If you are in the process of bringing your own organization along, hopefully you will find good guidance and encouragement in the list.

Surrogate (clergy)
Surrogate (from Lat. surrogare, to substitute for), a deputy of a bishop or an ecclesiastical judge, acting in the absence of his principal and strictly bound by the authority of the latter.
Canon 128 of the canons of 1603 lays down the qualifications necessary for the office of surrogate and canon 123 the regulations for the appointment to the office. At present the chief duty of a surrogate in England is the granting of marriage licences, but judgments of the arches court of Canterbury have been delivered by a surrogate in the absence of the official principal.

Today, after putting together our clue comprised of scrabble letters, we went to the Egyptian National Museum. In the van on the way over we read Bible verses from: Genesis 40-42, giving the story of Joseph and the cupbearer and baker as well as Pharaoh giving his ring to Joseph; Exodus 28, describing the Jewish Priestly garments; Exodus 32 which talks about Aaron making the golden calf; Psalm 110 which describes how the Lord will make his enemies subject to him. At the museum, we saw rings and chariots and footstools with pictures of the Pharaoh's enemies (so he could rest his feet on them, symbolizing control). Seeing these items really helped those stories I've read a 1000 times come alive. I was able to create visuals that helped me understand the Bible and the context it comes from. For example, throughout the Bible God repeats over and over again that He is the living God. Having seen the gods that the ancient Egyptian's worshiped, we heard (and saw) how they gauged out their eyes if they didn't want the gods to see or cut off their noses' if they didn't want them to breathe again, our belief in the living God is such a drastic contrast. How could the Israelites ask Aaron to make them a statue when they had just witnessed miracles?
After looking at mummies, people whom Joseph and Moses could have interacted with, we left for lunch to meet with a man who works for Artists for Christ. This ministry works with all different art forms, music -instrumental and vocal- painters, sculptures, photographers etc. However, he didn't show up for lunch. I was disappointed this connection didn't happen as I was interested in learning about how art is used to spread the gospel in a Muslim country. Is art only sold to Christians? Do they try and commission pieces for non Christians and then surprise them? I suppose this is symbolic of how God works in our lives, we have plans created with good intentions, but God has something else in mind. One of our team phrases is "that's how I roll", so our team rolled with it. We had a very nice lunch (I had stuffed vegetables, fried eggplant, mehiena, and of course baba ganough, all of which was very tasty) in a restaurant with a great atmosphere, enjoyed each other's company, and saw the way meat is transported (sort of considered being a vegetarian until dinner when we had Egyptian pizza with a meat called pasterma).
After a scavenger hunt, we found out we are leaving tomorrow! We have no idea where we are headed or what we will do. However, I have a feeling the trip is about to get challenging…
Editor's Note: We were unable to take pictures inside the Egyptian National Museum.

Where I stayed
Bayley's Camground, Scarborough, ME
What I did
Rode back towards Portland
Now headed south along Route 35 to Kennebunkport, famous for being the vacation home of the elder George Bush. Was a beachfront resort area like Old Orchard beach but less of the cheap motels and carnival atmosphere and more of a sailing and summer house rental kind of place. A local directed me to Walker's Point, which was where the Bush vacation home is
This time, stayed strictly along the coast and mostly along Route 9. Very deserted along the stretch from Kennebunkport to Biddeford. Route 9 is quiet with little traffic but a few cyclists here and there. Went off Route 9 at Fortunes Rock road hugging the coast and passing beautiful beaches and Biddeford Pool. Very scenic. Stopped by Biddeford Pool at a rocky beach. Saw two men out in the distance collecting seaweed in large garbage bags. When they walked back along the road I asked them why they were spending so much time collecting seaweed and in such large quantities. They said it was for a clam bake. The clams are cooked on top of the seaweed, giving them a distinctive flavor.
All along the route along the coast back to Biddeford and Saco was evident the influence of the coast and seafaring in Maine's culture
Met back up at Old Orchard Beach again but stayed along Route 9 instead of the Eastern Trail. Got back up into Scarborough, where I decided to stay the night. Found "Bayley's Camground" this massive, sprawling complex of tents, RVs, pools and ponds along Route 9. Checked in and once again was given a spot of dirt with a picnic table to stay the night. Found the hot tubs and went in for about half and hour. After riding for so many hours in the last two days it was nice to take a dip. There were kids running around everywhere at this campground but that was ok. I thought about having lobster at the campground restaurant but passed. Oh well, maybe some other time for Maine lobster. Went back to my little place deep in the middle of tents and RVs and plopped down for the night. Read for awhile and called my girlfriend back in New York. The temperature seemed to be much warmer than the night before but that soon changed and once again I was cold and shivering. But made it through. Be back to let you know about the next day!

Halle Berry V. Gabriel Aubry — Fight Over Baby Nahla's Race Now!
The custody battle gets even uglier as Halle insists her daughter is black.
Not only are Halle Berry and her ex-boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry, fighting over custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Nahla, but they're also at odds over her race. "I feel she's black," Halle tells Ebony magazine. "I'm black and I'm her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory." Gabriel, 34, on the other hand, reportedly flips out anytime someone calls the little girl black and reportedly has used racial slurs in reference to Halle in the past. How awful!
Halle says Nahla was 'traumatized' after a visit with her dad
Despite insisting that Nahla is definitely black, Halle, 44, doesn't want to to totally define her daughters race. "What I think is that that's something she's going to have to decide. I'm not going to put a label on it. I had to decide for myself and that's what she's going to have to decide — how she identifies herself in the world," says Halle. "But I feel like she's black."

New research robs French king Henry IV of his head
New research led by Professor Jean-Jacques Cassiman disputes forensic studies by Spanish and French researchers that ascribed a mummified head to Henry IV and blood on a handkerchief to Louis XVI.
Two purportedly royal relics recently surfaced on the collectors' market in France: a mummified head and a handkerchief with blood residues. The head was said to be that of French king Henry IV and the blood on the handkerchief that of King Louis XVI. This was confirmed by Spanish and French researchers, who reported positive DNA matches. Several historians voiced doubts about these claims and enrolled the help of forensic identification specialist Professor Jean-Jacques Cassiman and his team to investigate the relics.
Professor Cassiman's team compared the published DNA results from the head and the blood in the handkerchief with DNA samples obtained from three surviving descendants of the house of Bourbon, progeny of Henry IV (see Figure 1 below). The genetic relationship between these three Bourbons, who come from different branches of the family line, is fixed on the basis of research carried out on the Y-chromosome. The DNA comparison found that there was no relationship between the Bourbons and the blood on the handkerchief, nor the mummified head. Two breaks in the biological line on the paternal side would have had to occur in order for the head and the blood to belong to the two French kings.
Blue eyes
Likewise, there was no evidence on the maternal side (based on the mitochondrial DNA testing) suggesting a positive identification of the relics. The mother of Henry IV, Jeanne III d'Albret, is related via Anna of Habsburg in an unbroken maternal line to the Habsburgs, including Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVII (see Figure 2 below). Here, once again, there would have to have been at least one break in the maternal line for the head to belong to King Henry IV. The probability that one of the women in King Henry IV lineage was not the real mother of her daughter, or later of the king himself, is virtually non-existent.
Furthermore, DNA tests of the blood on the handkerchief show with 84.2% certainty that the blood belonged to a person who did not have blue eyes. It is known that King Louis XVI had blue eyes.
Based on these conclusions, the team of Professor Cassiman is unable to confirm the conclusions of their Spanish and French counterparts, given the available data. The blood on the handkerchief almost certainly does not belong to Louis XVI. Too little DNA remains were found on the mummified head to confirm or deny that it is the head of Henry IV, although historical data makes this identification unlikely.
According to the researchers, the study shows that a reliable genetic identification of historic remains requires a DNA profile of the living paternal and maternal descendants of the 'donor' to which the remains purportedly belong.
