Nitrogen is central to food production, helping feed almost 40 percent of the worlds growing population, but the element also starts a cascade that moves through the atmosphere, soils, and waters, dramatically altering the environment.
In order to meet future need and preserve the environment, new strategies and opportunities for improved nitrogen management must be developed, scientists said today at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting.
The nitrogen cycle is one of the most important processes in nature for living organisms. Although nitrogen gas is relatively inert, bacteria in the soil are capable of "fixing" the nitrogen into a usable form – fertilizer – for plants. Humans and animals consume the plant material where the nitrogen has been incorporated into their system, primarily as protein.

MONTREAL — A commercial vessel has run aground in the St. Lawrence Seaway near Montreal.
The ship, a container vessel identified as the BBC Steinhoeft, ran aground in early Thursday. It was reportedly destined for Philadelphia.
The 138-metre vessel was not only aground, but stretched across the entire width of the seaway, blocking the route to all other ships.

Under fire
Southern Ikafe - where Izarugu and Yassin and Johnson and Martina live - also came under attack. There was looting and rape, though no-one quite knows who was responsible. Five thousand refugees fled to the north of the settlement.
Meanwhile, a wave of banditry and violence spread throughout northern Uganda, with refugees being particularly targeted. Koboko Camp, where the Ikafe refugees originally came from, was partially evacuated by the Red Cross after a rebel attack that left eight dead and 23 wounded; Rhino Camp, immediately south of Ikafe, was also partially evacuated following an attack. More recently, convoys of food heading north have come under fire from the Lord's Resistance Army, who also murdered one hundred and thirty refugees at Acholi-pii Camp south of Kitgum, in the north-east of Uganda.
President Museveni has sent heavy reinforcements to the north and vowed to 'crush and finish the rebels'. But to date the military have been unable to control the lawlessness.
|On her bike: Alice Abau Elia sets off for home - but will she and the rest of the refugees in Ikafe, be able to stay?
The alliance between some discontented northerners and rebels backed by the Sudan Government is dangerous for everyone in the area. It also threatens the livelihoods of all Ugandans. Museveni's Government has markedly improved living conditions, partly by cutting the country's defence budget by nearly half in recent years. But this could be undone as military spending shoots up, which may mean reductions in education and health spending everywhere.
Although Museveni was re-elected in May with nearly three-quarters of the overall vote, opposition leader Paul Ssemogerere won between 80 and 90 per cent in northern Uganda. 'The election was a clear result of objection by northerners to President Museveni's government,' said one northern parliamentarian.
Back in Ikafe the refugees must be hunkering down waiting for the current violence to pass. But the attempt to foster self-reliance in the settlement has paid off. During the recent conflict the refugees were apparently able to organize their own food distribution without major outside intervention. And now staff are gradually returning to the base camps.
I phoned Tony Burdon, Oxfam's country representative in Uganda, just before press time, to find out what had happened. 'We all hope that reconciliation will take place' he said, 'and that the Government will regain control. But all we can say at the moment is that the future is uncertain.'
As I sit at my desk in Oxford, I remember all the refugees who spoke to me with such openness and showed me such generosity. I know that some of those I met will have had to leave their homes and their fields. I can only hope that their lives have not been shattered once again by the sound of gunfire and the shouts of frightened children.

2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V General Discussion Discussion, System Lean bank 1 and 2 in Cadillac CTS-V Series Forum - 2004 - 2007; Maybe someone can throw me a bone here. I re oiled my filter and then I got these codes, then ...
P0171 and P0174 System Lean bank 1 and 2
Maybe someone can throw me a bone here.
I re oiled my filter and then I got these codes, then I used paper towel to soak up excess oil from my filter and cleaned the MAF with maf cleaner. Then I hooked it all up again and the check engine light goes away. It comes back on again and I clean the MAF again, but the codes dont go away so I cleared them with my scan tool. They came back again and Im not sure where to go from here. Is it time to start dropping bills on parts trying to find whats faulty after I check for vac leaks? I tried running an o2 sensor test, but it said its not supported. I dont have any hesitation or bucking car runs great like nothing is wrong.
Its a linfelter filter that was on the car when I bought it. I cleaned and re oiled it with K+N oil filter cleaner.
I attached a log file showing data from my car maybe someone who knows their shit can help me.
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
One thing i forgot to mention in my first post is I ran Seafoam though my brake booster line 1/2 container and other in fuel tank but i dont remember if my check engine light was on or off during that time.
Ok just to update. I checked for vac leaks with carb cleaner and found none. Checked injectors, lines, gasket and no signs of leaks. I resprayed both front and back of MAF with cleaner again. So my lean codes remain. Not sure what to do now.
And now I have hanging revs for some dumbass reason. It does it when I come to a complete stop..will go up to 2k and slowly come back down and it will not do it every time. I swear whenever I touch this thing something ****s up. So next step should be replace o2 sensors?
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
It still acts like a vacuum leak. Since you had the brake hose loose to Seafoam, is there any chance that it is not reattached completely? Also, that brake connects to the MAP sensor on the back of the intake. The MAP has an unused input/output which is supposed to be capped - is there a chance you dislodged that cap while working with the brake hose?

Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
From what you described that is almost positively a vacuum leak. Check to see if there are any small cracks where the rubber may have stretched near the nipples that it connects to. Good luck and keep updated.
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
Just to update. So I examine every possible point of leakage after the MAF and I make a checklist what to spray so I don't miss one. I spray them all and I hear no changes in rpm on any. So I think to myslef "oh shit you've got to be kidding me!"
I go sit inside my car and the check engine light is now off? I must have scared it into submission.
My conclusion is the amount of oil on my filter the car must not like. The only thing I did different this time was completely removing the MAF and spraying the backside as well. If my light comes on again, I'm going to take the filter off and re oil it. I dont know about the hanging revs yet. I will drive it and find out today. Maybe playing around with the throttle plate yesterday messed with the tps sensor?
According to lingenfelter, they recommend LN4225 Cadillac CTS-V 35 grams. I presume this is for the new V.
I will update this thread if the check engine light comes on again and will update with the steps I take to resolve it. Thank you.
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
Well check engine light came on again. Time to clean/reoil the air filter. The MAF is a finicky slut.
Thought Id add these pics. Let me know what you think of the MAF wire second from bottom. Looks kinda funky like burnt.
Just thought I'd throw this out there you will probably be like yea I know. But are you making sure that you are giving the light enough time to go off after cleaning the MAF. Because it will take some miles (cycles) for it to reset the code and turn the light off.
Also, I had this same problem once. I thought it was a dirty MAF so I went to clean it and found a huge leak where my intake was sucking in air from behind the MAF.
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
Actually I was searching around and came across this
Some interesting info here. I slowly update this as this car is just my play toy. If it was my DD id probably be annoyed.
If my codes go and come back again Im going to use the pdf darkman attached to really get down to business. I weighed the damn oil spray on a gram scale to make sure I put on the right gram amount according to leinenfleter. yeah i cant spell that dudes name and I dont want to learn
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
Ok just started my car up this morning and check engine light is off and i ended up putting on 29 grams of oil on the air filter. I weighed bottle before and after application. Should stay off hopefully. Now to wait for the hurricane to hit
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
Seriously f this intake. Im going to get stock air box. lean codes came back on again

Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
I had the same problem. I took everything apart and cleaned it. Turns out the top screw on the TB was just loose enough to allow a leak. So whenever the light comes back on I instantly tighten that down and problem solved.
Re: System Lean bank 1 and 2
Just to update. I solved my problem by replacing the air filter with the pre oiled one. I presume there is an oil weight between k&n and whats originally on the filter. If I would have purchased the cleaning kit s+b i probably would have never had this issue.

Many of you are getting ready to fish your club championship. I thought this might be a good time to review some of the tips that I've written about in the past. Hopefully, it'll refresh your memory and help you to a winning performance.
All the previous blogs I've referenced are still posted on BASS Insider.
1. No matter the length of your championship, make sure you practice properly. You need to cover water, develop seasonal patterns, fish towards the weather, avoid catching your bass in practice and keep your mental attitude in shape.
Blending these five principles into a complete package will make a world of difference in your fishing success.
2. Practice can be tough for recreational anglers. Work, family and finances all take their toll. So, we need to discuss practice efficiency. It's important that you make the most of what time you have on and off the water.
A part of making the most out of what you have is not making bad decisions. I call it keeping the weeds out of your garden.
3. Make sure all your tackle and gear is ready to go — before the tournament ever starts. Noon isn't the time to change line, and it's not the time to wish you had a few topwater baits. (I don't care if they aren't supposed to be biting on top. You should be prepared.)
Don't forget about your toolbox. A minor mechanical problem can turn into a major disaster if you don't have the right tools and parts onboard.
4. Sometimes things get tough. The fish aren't doing what they're supposed to do. Your world is turning upside down. That's when you have to fish your strengths and trust your instinct. You have no other option.
This doesn't mean getting stupid on the water. It means looking for something that you can do to catch bass that fits into your scheme of things as a bass angler.
5. At the same time you're doing the strength and instinct thing, you need to remain versatile. In my world, versatility means changing your natural style of angling to meet the current conditions. It's about doing what you need to do rather than what you want to do.
It does not mean knowing how to fish a wide variety of baits. Most any experienced angler can do that. The versatile angler meets the needs of the fish.
Reread these blogs and think about their principles. You'll be a much better angler, especially late in the year when it often counts the most.
Remember, it's all about the attitude.

Game Day Information: U-M Soccer Stadium Information | Ticket Information
The No. 23-ranked University of Michigan women's soccer team (10-2-1, 4-0-1 Big Ten) attempts to keep its unbeaten streak (6-0-1) going on the road this weekend, as it faces Northwestern (4-7-2, 0-5-0 Big Ten) on Saturday (Oct. 6) in Evanston, Ill. The match will begin at 7 p.m. CDT. U-M is 10-5-5 in the all-time series with the Wildcats.
Ann Arbor, Mich.
Own Goal the Difference in Home Loss to Wildcats
The Wolverines held the edge in shots and corner kicks but fell, 1-0, to Northwestern, with the game's only score coming on an own goal.
• The Wolverines are unbeaten in their last seven matches (6-0-1). With a win or tie this weekend at Northwestern, the Wolverines will tie the program record for longest unbeaten streak, which is eight matches, accomplished Sept. 3-26, 2004.
• Since its 2-1 loss to then-No. 11 Long Beach State on Sept. 2, Michigan is 6-0-1, outscoring opponents by a 14-1 margin and holding the edge in shots, 116-64.
• With Friday night's shutout, Haley Kopmeyer now has seven individual shutouts on the season, a new individual career high. In addition, she is second all-time in program history for most shutouts in a career (23). The program leader for career shutouts is Suzie Grech (2000-03), who had 25. Kopmeyer ranks fifth nationally in goals-against average (.375) and save percentage (.907).
• The Wolverines have only allowed five goals in 13 matches this season and are on track to set a new program record for fewest goals allowed in a season. The current record is 18, which was set in 2010.
• The Wolverines are tied for third in the nation for fewest goals allowed. Louisiana Tech is second (four), while UCLA and Florida St. are tied for first (three).
• The Wolverines are unbeaten at home, owning a 7-0-1 record at the U-M Soccer Stadium. Their seven wins are the most home wins since 2002, when the Wolverines won a program-record 12 matches.
• Michigan is 6-2 this season in matches decided by one goal. The Wolverines were 5-5 in one-goal matches last season.
• Michigan set two program records over the weekend. With their scoreless draw against Iowa last Friday (Sept. 28), the Wolverines set a new record for consecutive shutouts in a season (six). Against Nebraska last Sunday, they set the school record for most minutes without allowing a goal at 632:08.
|Chloe Sosenko
South Lyon, Mich.
Q: How does the team feel about the results from this past weekend?
A: We feel great. We've gotten 13 of the possible 15 points in our five matches so far in Big Ten play, and that's really positive. I think we have worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and if we keep it going, we know we can accomplish great things.
Q: As a team, you're in a familiar spot, having similar results at this point last year. How does the mindset change as you get deeper into the Big Ten season?
A: That's something we bring up a lot, actually. We want to come out being the more aggressive team. There is never a point when we want our energy level to drop. We're keeping our work ethic up. We want to be the team that not only scores the first goal but the second as well.
Q: You scored the first goal against Nebraska. Talk about what you saw and how the play developed.
A: Shelina [Zadorsky] played a short corner to Kayla [Mannino]. Kayla's initial attempt was deflected and popped out to me. I knew the Nebraska goalkeeper was pretty good in the air, so I just had to drive it low and maybe it would get a deflection. Luckily the ball found its way into the net. Set pieces like that are things we work on a lot. It felt really good to get that first goal of the season.
Q: What's been the big difference from last year to this year in team defense?
A: We've got great communication this year. We're working together. We hold each other accountable for our mistakes. If we do make one, we notice it, correct it, and then it's on to the next thing. Last year, we let it go instead of figuring out the problem. And we've got great chemistry. Shelina and Holly [Hein] are great leaders back there. They make it so easy to stay connected. Haley [Kopmeyer] has been awesome, too. I don't know if we could do it without her. She commands instant respect, even from the other team. It allows the backline to play with confidence because we know Haley has confidence.
Q: The team is back on the road this weekend at Northwestern. What will it take to get a win there?
A: We know we have to come out fighting like we have been and keep our intensity up. We've got to play at the level we've been playing at. Again, it goes back to being the aggressor and taking it to other teams. We want to be like that in every game.
Michigan went 1-0-1 over the weekend, playing to a scoreless draw with Iowa last Friday (Sept. 28) and beating Nebraska, 2-1, in double overtime last Sunday (Sept. 30). Chloe Sosenko scored the first goal against Nebraska in the 72nd minute, while Nkem Ezurike netted the game-winning goal in the first minute of double overtime to give Michigan the victory.

Mar. 12 2010
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Senate on Thursday unanimously approved S. 1147, the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act, legislation to curtail the growing sales of tax-evading, low-cost cigarettes and other tobacco products over the Internet and through the mail. The Senate's action is a milestone in the fight to keep kids from smoking and prevent tax evasion that costs state and federal taxpayers billions each year. We applaud Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) for his leadership and persistence in sponsoring this legislation and winning Senate approval.
The House of Representatives last year voted 397 to 11 to approve similar legislation, sponsored by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), and is expected to take up the Senate bill. We look forward to the House quickly approving the Senate bill and President Obama continuing his strong leadership on tobacco control by signing the PACT Act into law.
Internet sales of tobacco products are a serious and growing problem that keeps prices down and smoking levels up. Such sales make it easier and cheaper for kids to buy cigarettes, facilitate tax evasion and cost federal and state governments billions in revenue. Many vendors that sell cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products over the Internet or through other mail-order sales do not pay applicable tobacco taxes and do not have sufficient safeguards to prevent sales to children, such as effective policies to verify a purchaser's age.

Executive Order 9981 desegregates military.
In dramatic victory in the Civil Rights movement, on July 26, 1948, President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981, effectively ending the segregation of the military. This was a continuation of an earlier presidential act that provided for the equal treatment and acceptance of all races in the military. As segregation was still widely practiced in the United States, President Truman appointed a committee to ensure that the order was effectively carried out.

Osama bin Laden these days is encountering the same problems as faced by numerous business executives — how can one obtain trusted, dedicated employees? Several anti-terror experts told the British newspaper, the Guardian there is an increasing shortage of fighters for al-Qaeda. Lethal strikes by CIA drones combined with monitoring and disruption of electronic communications has impacted the morale of Al-Qaeda fighters in Pakistan. They are increasingly confronting Pakistan military attacks which have resulted in the death of hundreds of militants.
Mustafa Alani, a terrorism expert, argues "al-Qaida has become a liability for the Taliban" and there is a possibility they might seek to get rid of him by revealing his hiding place to Pakistan or American sources. Another factor is emergence of Muslim clerics who argue that terrorism violates the fundamental principles of their religion.
If you are among the downsized, perhaps you might welcome a vacation in the mountains of Pakistan or Afghanistan where the fellowship of some bearded men will provide opportunities to play with guns and bombs. Who knows, perhaps, members of the NRA will finally get a chance to shoot at the "Jack booted American police!"

"Chelsea and Liverpool are the clearest, most exaggerated example of the way soccer is going: very intense, very collective, very tactical, very physical, and very direct. But, a short pass? Noooo. A feint? Noooo. A change of pace? Noooo. A one-two? A nutmeg? A backheel? Don't be ridiculous. None of that. The extreme control and seriousness with which both teams played the semifinal neutralized any creative license, any moments of exquisite skill." -- Jorge Valdano, Argentine 1986 World Cup winner as a player and former Real Madrid coach and sporting director, wasn't impressed with how Liverpool advanced to the Champions ...More

Meghna Naidu's Gmail Account Hacked
The 'Kaliyo ka chaman' girl Meghna Naidu fell in to the trap of cyber hackers. Recently, the small time Bollywood actress has filed a police complaint saying that her email id has been hacked. Moreover, the hacker is trying to malign her image by writing obscene mails to her friends.
Meghna, who has also acted in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films, said, "I came to know about the hacking from my friends on Saturday. The hacker used my gmail account to chat with my friends and even said that I am pregnant and wanted to go for an abortion. The fraud wrote all such obscene things about me."
The ex-publicist of the actress smelled something fishy and informed Meghna. The item girl said, "She called me up to know if I was really in the chat or not. Then she informed me about the whole thing and I was shocked. In fact, the person abused three Bollywood actors from my account. The issue is a serious one as the hacker is creating a bad name for me, which hurts."
Naidu added, "I have complained to the police, who said that they needed at least a week to investigate the case."
She further added, "Three of my friends, who are not from Bollywood chatted with the hacker thinking it was me."
Meghna has submitted an application to the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell (CCIC) of the crime branch. However, no FIR has been registered till now.
Inspector Mukund Pawar, in-charge of the CCIC, informed, "Her assistant was operating her other three email accounts, which were also hacked. She is now unable to access her accounts as the hacker has changed the password."
The CCIC has approached the US-based email service company to get the details about the places from where the email ID had been accessed. It has also asked for the user's Internet Protocol (IP) address but has not received any response yet.
The actress has advised the net surfers not to log on to Google groups. Meghna added, "Don't open the forwarded links. I clicked on one such album link and my account got hacked. Also, keep changing your password frequently to avoid any hacking."

Arthritis Q&A by Dr. Shiel
I've been told that I have fibromyalgia. I have to deal with pain on a daily basis, but the pain in my lower back and left hip continues to cause me major problems. My doctor tells me that I can take over-the-counter pain relievers and do some stretching for the problem, but it isn't working. What should I do?
Medical Author: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
You must discuss the persistence of symptoms with your doctor and the extent to which your daily activities are restricted. Together you can determine whether or not additional testing might be needed to detect alternative causes of pain in these areas. The treatment of fibromyalgia, if that is what is causing your symptoms, can involve many different management methods and trials of a variety of medications. See your doctor for the best program for your particular situation.
Thank you for your question.

Bet you never thought yogurt could get you out of a colonoscopy,
but it just might. Vitamin B6 is an important vitamin to consume while pregnant because
it helps tissue and brain growth for the baby and because it can reduce the effects of morning sickness.
Yogurt does have some weight loss, mainly because it contains a
lot of lactic acid bacteria, can effectively regulate the body
flora balance, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and thus relieve constipation.

Hiya -- what's the source for C-3PO & R2-D2 singing "Beep"? -- Danny (talk) 22:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
- An mp3 I downloaded frog knows where and when. I tried finding which episode it came from myself, but our Sesame Star Wars episodes must be incomplete, or they recorded it as a segment appearing in some other episode(s). —Scott (talk) 04:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- On the trading circuit there exists a timecoded reel of all the scenes with the Droids (shot around November 1979). It consists of four inserts which could be used in any episode ("Beep" was one of them), followed by the street scenes which were only to be used in 1364 and 1396. That's where the mp3 came from. ;) --MuppetVJ 05:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- The same way we source anything added to the wiki submitted by a reliable contributor who adds information based on material sitting right in front of them.

Having been playing around with the awesome arduino inventors kit, I came here to learn about soldering my first circuit. Very clear and concise instructions, thank you. I noticed toward the end of the video as he solders there appears to be smoke rising as he touches the solder to the tip. Is this the symptom of a too hot iron which we were warned about?
No public wish lists :(

Location: Mycotoxin Prevention and Applied Microbiology ResearchTitle: Determination of the secondary metabolites fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin from maize by LC-MS/MS Author
Submitted to: American Society for Mass Spectrometry
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/24/2012
Publication Date: 5/24/2012
Citation: Busman, M. 2012. Determination of the secondary metabolites fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin from maize by LC-MS/MS. American Society for Mass Spectrometry. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The quinones, fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin, are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in grains used for human consumption. A variety of biological activities have been noted for fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin, including antibiotic properties. Chemical characterization of fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin frequently is based upon their deep red coloration. Here we demonstrate a technique for analysis of fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin by HPLC coupled to ESI-MS/MS. The technique is applied to the screening of Fusarium species for fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin production on cracked corn and to evaluation of field production in maize. Portions (10 g) of the corn were extracted with 50 mL acetonitrile for 2 hrs. Extracts were filtered with a 125 mm 2V paper filter. 10 µL of extract was applied to a MetaChem Inertsil C18 column. Chromatography was conducted utilizing a ThermoSpectraPhysics HPLC system consisting of an AS4000 autosampler coupled to a P2000 gradient pump. Elution of analyte was achieved with a gradient flow of methanol and water (0.3% acetic acid was added to the mobile phase.) The solvent program used a 35-95% gradient over 25 min. Flow was directed to a ThermoFinnigan LCQ-DECA ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source. For quantitative analyses, abundant fragments from the [M + H]+ ions of the analytes, fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin, were monitored in the MRM mode. To assess quantitative behavior of the LC-MS system, 10 µL injections over a wide range of fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin concentrations were made. LC-MS/MS experiments were conducted in selected ion monitoring mode of operation. Integrations of LC-MS/MS response were recorded for the dominant fragments. Responses for the residual parent ions were also recorded. Linear response curves were obtained by using the external standard method over a range of analyte concentrations. Minimum detection limits and limits of quantitation (based on the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 and 10, respectively) were determined for fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin spiked into corn extract. A series of 10 g portions of cracked maize were spiked with fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin (acetonitrile) in order to achieve levels corresponding to 1 ppm fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin. The samples were then extracted and processed according to the above described method. The analysis of the spiked samples allowed determination of recoveries of the fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin upon quantitation utilizing prominent fragment ions for each analyte. The LC-MS/MS method was utilized to screen fusarubin and 8-O-methylbostrycoidin production by Fusarium species on cracked maize. The method was also applied to a field study of inoculations of Fusarium isolates on growing maize ears. Mature ears were harvested, shelled and extracted with acetonitrile and subjected to LC-MS/MS.

Welcome to Walmgate Day Nursery Ltd, we are a 42 place day nursery situated in the historic part of York known as Walmgate, which is a short walk from the City Centre. The building is several hundred years old but has been converted to form a modern day care facility that meets all requirements, yet retains character and a nice homely feel. As we are in a centre location we only have a small outdoor play area but this has been designed to maximise the use of space so each child will benefit from some outdoor play each day. In addition to the outdoor area, children enjoy regular outings and visits to local attractions such as Jorvik Centre and Castle Museum. The nursery also has the use of five drop off and pick up parking spaces for use by our customers.
We have three separate rooms which accommodate three separate age ranges, a Baby Room for ages from 3 month to 2 years, a 2-3 years Tweenies Room and a Pre-School Room for children from 3-5 years. The ratio of staff to children within the Nursery is in accordance with Ofsted requirements and we employ qualified and experienced staff.
Our aim is to provide the best quality childcare in a stimulating environment with lots of learning opportunities. We aim to achieve this by:
The Baby Room 3 months to 2 years
The nursery has a separate baby unit which accommodates 12 babies up to the age of 2 years. They are able to transfer up to the 2-3 years (tweenies room) at any time from 18 months to 2 years and this will be judged on each childs individual needs and stage of development.
The Tweenies Room 2-3 years
We have a well equipped 15 place Tweenie Room, with separate areas to explore sand, water, painting and play dough. The main room has a designated area for construction and small world toys and there is a quiet area for books and to have a well earned rest. We work on the Early Years Foundation Stage with each child and now registered to two year old funding from the government for those children who are eligable for this provision. We aim to integrate your child into the Pre-school Room at 3 years 3 months or as soon after this as is practicably possible.
The Pre-school Room 3-5 years
We have 15 places in our well equipped pre-school room where planned learning activities are prepared. The activities are planned around the seven areas of learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage which encourages children to achieve Early Learning Goals. As we are working towards these goals we are registered to take three and four year old funding from the Government. Below you will find a breakdown of each of the seven areas with a brief description.
Personal, social and emotional development
Self-confidence and self-awareness: children are confident to try new activities, and say why they like some activities more than others. They are confident to speak in a familier group, will talk about their ideas, and will choose the resources they need for their chosen activities. They say when the do or don't need help.
Communication, Language and Literacy
Listening and attention: children listen attentively in a range of situations. They listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what they hear with relevant comments, questions or actions. They give their attention to what others say and respond appropriately, while engaged in another activity.
Understanding: children follow instructions involving several ideas or actions. They answer 'how' and 'why' questions about their experiences and in response to stories or events.
Physical development
Moving and handling: children show good control adn co-ordination in large and small movements. they move confidently in range of ways, safely negotiating space. they handle equipment and tools effectively, including pencils for writing.
Health and self care: children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a healthy diet, and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe. they manage their own basic hygiene and personal needs successfully, including dressing and going to the toilet independently.
Knowledge and understanding of the world
In this area children learn about their environments, early geographical concepts, history and introducing science and technology.
Creative development
Their will be opportunities for your child to explore texture and shapes, expressing ideas and feelings in a personal and unique way through the medium of music, literacy or drama through role play.
In all rooms we record your child's development in the form of Observation Records and Progress Reports which we send out to you at the end of each term.
Key Person System
The nursery operates a key person system where your child's development will be progressed and monitored by the same member of staff as often as possible. You will be informed who your child's key person will be on admission to the nursery.
Hot meals are provided at an additional cost per day and are served at approximately 11:45. Parents have the option to provide a packed lunch for their child shpuld they prefer.
Lunch Menu
Homemade meat and potato pie served with fresh seasonal vegetables.
Homemade rice pudding

Chef Mario Batali baking up Seaport pizzeria plan
Credit: AP (File)
Fort Point's restaurant scene is getting hotter, this time with news that a certain flame-haired celebrity chef is in talks to open a Summer Street restaurant.
Mario Batali is in negotiations to open a pizzeria at 320 Summer St., a source involved in the deal said.
Batali tweeted on Saturday that he would be opening a Babbo pizzeria in Boston "very soon," but the source close to the negotiations said the restaurant would be a third location for his Otto Enoteca Pizzeria. No agreement has been signed, the source said.

Hey Allante enthusiasts:
After years of thinking about it, I've finally decided to buy an Allante. After doing some reading I'm partial to the Phase II models, 90 1/2 through 92. Problem is I'm having trouble finding a decent one with a hard top and I'd really like to have the hardtop if possible. Solution: Find a hardtop from an older model as they seem to be more plentiful (I see plenty of pre-90 cars with the hardtop for a reasonable price).
Question: Are the hardtops interchangeable between years? I've read that the latching mechanism changed in 1990, so I'm not sure if that changed the hardtop configuration.
Last question: Any suggestions for Allante hunting? AutoTrader and Carsoup just ain't doing the trick.
Thanks Bruce (aka Carmental)

Summer Squash Pickles
I was a resident of Rockingham County, NH for 43 years and moved to Walland, TN in 1990. With a longer growing season, I needed to find a way to use summer squash which is quite prolific. This recipe is fantastic!
10 cups thinly sliced summer squash
2 cups thinly sliced onion rings
2 cups thinly sliced green pepper
1 large jar diced pimento
2/3 cup salt
Soak squash, onions, green pepper in 2 quarts salted water for 2 hours. Drain.
3 cups sugar
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 tsp celery seed
2 tsp mustard seed
Combine syrup ingredients and bring to a boil. Drop drained vegetables and pimento into the syrup but don't cook. Mix well. Put mix into hot sterilized jars and cover with syrup. Process in water bath for 15 minutes.

I Want to Believe
If your DVR isnt set for the X-Files, or if youve never watched a UFO program containing blurry photographs and retired Air Force colonels, then the UFOlympics is probably not your ideal weekend getaway. However, if the thought of little green men gets your blood pumping, then pack your tents and I Want to Believe T-shirts and head to the UFO Watchtower, 22.5 miles north of Hooper, for two days of sky-gazing and other-worldly lectures.
The San Luis Valley is supposed to be the hot spot in the nation for UFO sightings, says Judy Messoline, owner/operator of the Watchtower. Weve had 45 sightings from just the tower. Im always grateful when theres someone else there, because then I know Im not hallucinating. Speakers include the editor of Alternate Perceptions, Brent Raynes; Apache medicine woman Priscilla Wolf; Generational Experiencer Mary Munoz (she says her father and forefathers were all abducted); hypnotherapist and abductee Gloria Hawker, and Joe Fex of APE-X Research. Yesterday at dusk, Mr. M aka Martin Barnett led a workshop called Psychic Self-Protection and Guided Mediation of Grounding with Gaia/Mother Earth.
Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the gate, with a $10-per-night camping fee. For more information, go to www.ufowatchtower.com or call 1-719-378-2296.

Aspiring Screw Up..Help!
2 Attachment(s)
I'm building this shed for my aunt in her back yard. The 4x6 beam across the middle is flush with the top plates but the Simpson beam tie on top of central post sits up higher than beam--and top plates. How do i resolve this issue?
Do I raise the rafters higher than the top plates by 3 to 4 inches and miter the ends of the 2x6 rafters that i planned on connecting by 2x6hangers to beam?
The roof is a simple lean-to roof (not connected to adjacent structure though). It descends from 10ft to 8ft over 15.5ft. My roofer guy quit yesterday and the project must go on.
Please check pictures and any suggestions are welcome. I'm taking my time in the hope that i can do it right first time.
My aunt has suggested no overhang--just gutters at 8 found end to deal with runoff.
Use one of these instead of what your trying to use.
No over hang I feel is a really bad idea.
It will shorten the life of the siding,
I sure hope you sealed under those bottom plates, there's going to be two issues your going to be dealing with by building that shed on a slab like that, one is water getting in under the bottom plates, and the sheathing or siding rotting out at the bottom of the wall.
Sheathing, or T-111 if that's what the plan is for siding needed to be 6" from grade.
One way around it is to use 1 X 6 vinyl lumber around the base of the wall, Z molding then the siding.
I hope you never get rain on that slab.
Could you cut it down with a grinder? say 1/8" lower then the top of the beam.
That beam lands above the window? Is the header strong enough?
1. Yes I did seal under the bottom plates and plan on using some kind of flashing wall to ground (what kind?). The siding is some kind of Hardywood 4 x 8 panels. Was pushing her for concrete siding. Thanks for good suggestion about vinyl lumber.
4 X 4's have little side load strength. Even that 4 X 6 your trying to use for a beam would never fly around here for that use for that span.
They tend to check, twist and sag over time.
Ganged up 2X's, LVL's or glue lams would have been much better.
The header of the window should have had doubled up 2 X 4's for the cripples, at least a doubled up 2 X 6 with 1/2 OSB or plywood between them, double up jacks around the window and below it so the load was transfured down to the slab.
On looking more I realize you need a bigger beam.
Also both ends would be best supported with posts (multiple 2x4) right to the ground. Can you move the window location?
Just cut your center post shorter.
If you can't move the window go with doubled up 2x10 with 1/2" plywood in-between. May be overkill but that is a lot of weight resting there.
I was just wondering why you have that post getting in the way of everything in the first place. A gluelam or 10" sandwich beam resting on two posts in the walls would be more than adequate wouldn't it?
No form of siding with wood fibers is rated for direct grade contact.
Not even Hardee plank can be installed that close to grade. It needs to be at least 4" above grade.
There's not going to be anyway to keep water from coming in under the door.
Totally depends on the load on the roof. How much snow you get?
That wdw is still a weak point.
Odd design.. Were you trying to match something on the property building it like that? But oh well.. Are you trying to set your rafters on top of the walls/beam or are you trying to cut them in between? I read a few different conflicting things..

Despite the loss, Michigan is 3-1 all-time against Virginia Tech.
Senior Evan King has won 12 consecutive matches dating back to a 6-1, 6-1 triumph over Wisconsin's Billy Bertha on March 23.
The Wolverines claimed the doubles point for the 14th time in 26 dual matches this season. U-M is 10-4 when winning the doubles point this season and 6-6 when dropping the initial point.
Matches in postseason play are abandoned once the match is clinched.
Michigan Head Coach Bruce Berque
On winning doubles point ... "In the doubles, we played with good energy and intensity. We played with great discipline and I think we were a lot better in doubles play. I think it might have given us a false sense of security. Doubles and singles are very different games. We won the decisive match for the point and I think our guys thought that was how it was going to be for the singles as well. It wasn't the same type of toughness in the singles that we showed in the doubles."
On singles play ..."Evan (King) is very confident and even when he loses a set he is still confident. We had a little bit of bad luck on some courts. We were about to close out on court six and did not get to finish. There were a couple of things that didn't go our way. Virginia Tech did a great job and was tough competitors. Doubles is one point and singles is six points. We won doubles and they won singles."

Citation: Russelle, M.P. 2008. Manure use on alfalfa. In: Proceedings of the National Alfalfa Symposium, February 4-5, 2008, Kearney, Nebraska. 2008 CDROM. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Manure application to alfalfa is often necessary because of limited application windows during the year and limited land-to-livestock ratios to meet Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan requirements. Manure applied before alfalfa planting or during production can improve yield and performance of the crop if manure application rates, method, and timing are appropriate. Broadcast applications can increase the risk of runoff to surface water, high rates may increase nitrate leaching to ground water, and application of low dry matter slurry on tile-drained soil may result in surface water contamination. When diseases are present in the herd that can be transmitted via manure-contaminated feed, avoid manure application on established alfalfa. Manure injection and crop ensiling can, however, reduce pathogen load on the harvested forage. I expect that advances in equipment design, promulgation of regulations, and development of new varieties eventually will lead to widespread adoption of shallow manure injection in established alfalfa.

Eliza Howard Powers (Civil War Nurse)
Reprinted from Short
Sketches on
Passaic County History
Many of our citizens, and especially the soldiers during
the Civil
War, dropped a tear when the news reached Paterson that Mrs. Eliza
Powers had died in Washington, D.C., at the age of eighty-five, August
24, 1887. She was known as the Florence Nightingale of Paterson,
and no one did more for our soldiers; caring for the sick and wounded,
collecting and forwarding hospital supplies and money, ministering to
wants and relieving their sufferings in camp and hospital. She
care of the widows and orphans of those who gave their lives for the
Her appeals were ever before the public and they were always liberally
responded to.
Before the war had ended she lost by misfortune what little property she had and was an invalid for years from the effects of exposure in the performance of the acts of kindness to the soldiers. Many times she went to see our soldiers after a battle. In January of 1863 she went to the headquarters of General Sumner at Fredericksburg and many of her letters written from the field of battle are very interesting but too long to reprint at this time. The Forty-eighth Congress voted her a pension, through the strenuous efforts of Judge Holman who made a pathetic and patriotic speech in her behalf

The Georgia track & field teams are set to split up and go three different directions as they make their final preparations for the SEC Indoor Championships Feb. 24-26 in Lexington, Ky. This weekend the Bulldogs will compete at the Husky Classic in Seattle, the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., and the Tiger Paw Invitational in Clemson, S.C.
Bulldog senior sprinter Torrin Lawrence, who has the second fastest 200-meter dash time (21.12) and the fourth fastest 400 time (46.89) in the SEC this season, is returning to a track in Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend where he has had immense success. He not only won a national 400 crown in 2010, but he also clocked the fourth (45.03), fifth (45.10) and seventh (45.23) fastest collegiate indoor 400 times in history in the facility. Lawrence is the three-time defending 400 champion at the Tyson Invitational and will be going for four straight this weekend.
Click here for a video preview of the meets courtesy of GTV.
In other UGAAA news, the Athletic Board of Directors held its quarterly meeting yesterday, and approved funding for three exciting facility upgrades as improvements continue to abound across campus. Read the full recap of the meeting here.
Last night the men's basketball team poured in 81 points in its win over Arkansas, good for the team's highest SEC output of the season and most points scored in a non-overtime game in 2011-12. The game inspired a lot of chatter on the @UGAAthletics and @UGABasketball Twitter accounts, including the following:
@MouthoftheLyon: @UGABasketball brought home the bacon #beatarkansas
@BulldogBrock: #Dawgs win 81-59! What a huge victory! Way to go @UGABasketball
@UGA_Problems: Proud to be a DAWG! Great job tonight guys! @UGABasketball
A very happy @CoachMarkFox met with the media after the game, saying he thought last night was the first time all season his players got to enjoy the "fruits of their labor."
And finally, something pretty cool was going on yesterday out at the UGA Golf Course. More on that tomorrow here at "Between The Hedges," but for now, here's a sneak preview of what went on on a beautiful February day!
Until next time, GO DAWGS!

Intake manifold
Sham - this is the later style of four barrel manifold. It has the Holley base pattern cast on to it - but I'm thinking you must have the earlier 9425-A version with an adapter plate. The early arrangement and adapter will work just fine for a daily driver. Make sure there are no "steps" showing beneath the throttle bores. Also think about getting an insulating gasket or isolator to keep too much heat from cooking your carb.
This later 9425-B manifold looks pretty good - but it only has 4 x 1.438 diameter (1-7/16) throttle bores. To get it to match a bigger throttle bore carb - you still have to have an adapter. Don't spend a lot of bucks changing right away - unless you stumble over one in the barn.
These are "air gap" manifolds (from fifty years ago) and you can get them to run faily cool by using the heavy truck style intake manifold gaskets (292 cid) that have a restricted manifold heat riser port. This will work with your "A" manifold too.
Mr. Mustang: Did you follow those guys web site while they went to California? They took off with 30 year old tires and shreaded them somewhere in PA - but not too much other drama. I think they finally ran the dizzy with standard timing setting and full manifold vacuum.

How do you measure success? Many times, it's difficult to point to one specific moment when a campaign delivers a big moment that demonstrates, beyond any doubt, that you've succeeded.
Well, our thanks go to E.ON for providing that moment for our coal campaign late last night – just as we were leaving the office, in fact. On my way to the pub, I met a press officer running back towards the front door – "E.ON have shelved Kingsnorth – just got to go and check if it's real, see you in a few…"
He never made it to the pub, because as the evening unfolded it became clear that E.ON were, indeed, after a three year public campaign, kicking their plans for the massively controversial coal plant into the long grass – which would have been the first to be built in Britain since Drax was completed more than 20 years ago.
When we checked with E.ON's European office, they emailed us to say:
"We can confirm that we expect to defer an investment decision on the Kingsnorth proposals for up to two to three years.
"This is based on the global recession, which has pushed back the need for new plant in the UK to around 2016 because of the reduction in demand for electricity."
So what does this mean? Well, there are a couple of key questions. The first one is: does a delay of two to three years mean that the Kingsnorth project is now effectively shelved? According to E.ON:
"We are not going to make a decision on whether to open it for two to three years and it would then take around four years to build."
So potentially we're looking at 2016 before any new plant would be completed, and that's a long way away. Reasons to be sceptical that E.ON will actually build the plant revolve around the rapidly changing dynamics of the energy sector, and an assessment of how difficult they've found it to build a new plant to date.
"The case for new coal is crumbling, with even E.ON now accepting it's not currently economic to build new plants." John Sauven, Director, Greenpeace UKAnd that gets into the second question: why the turnaround? E.ON are sticking to their party line that this is a consequence of the global recession, and that's certainly had its part to play. But it's worth remembering that two years ago today, when our activists closed down Kingsnorth power station, the company was indicating that they wanted to start construction work within weeks.
That was well before any economic downturn, and there's been constant pressure from a wide coalition of environmental and development campaigners, including all of us who've given support to The Big If and Give Coal the Boot campaigns. Obviously that pressure has had its effect.
So this is a massive breakthrough in the campaign against coal. As our executive director John Sauven has been telling the media this morning:
"This development is extremely good news for the climate and in a stroke significantly reduces the chances of an unabated Kingsnorth plant ever being built. The case for new coal is crumbling, with even E.ON now accepting it's not currently economic to build new plants. The huge diverse coalition of people who have campaigned against Kingsnorth because of the threat it posed to the climate should take heart that emissions from new coal are now even less likely in Britain."
The world's leading climate scientist, Professor Jim Hansen of Nasa, also welcomed the decision as a step in the right direction, but warned that real political leadership is needed to urgently reduce the use of coal - the single most harmful fossil fuel:
"The requirement is to phase out coal emissions, if we want to be fair to our children and grandchildren. We desperately need a nation to exert some leadership, adopting policies to move promptly in that direction. I still look on UK as being perhaps the best hope for leading a fundamental change.
"But as yet there seems to be no government, the US included, with the guts to say what is needed and move in that direction. Instead we hear goals for emissions reduction – what a fake – the coal must be left in the ground or we can never achieve the needed goals for atmospheric carbon dioxide."

UPDATE: ISI Group Reiterates Buy Rating, Raises PT on Nike
In a report published Friday, ISI Group reiterated its Buy rating on Nike (NYSE: NKE), and raised its price target from $100.00 to $120.00.
ISI Group noted, "Not only does it look like Nike has successfully course-corrected, but momentum is picking up steam driven by an amazingly robust North American business, steadily improving gross margins, and early signs that the worst in China has passed. Although 2Q sales slightly disappointed due to China downside (sales -11% vs. consensus -2%) and China futures remained weak (-7%), it was clear that Nike is taking the proactive (and medicinal) steps to clean up that market, and we saw several positives that led us to think things will only get better from here. First, underlying gross margin was positive for the first time in two years (+40 bps excluding 70 bps currency impact); North America once again delivered strong double-digit growth despite tougher 1- and 2-year comparisons; Emerging Markets remained strong (+18% ex-currency vs. +22% in 1Q); and both Nike own stores (comps +10%) and partner stores (positive comps, inventories improving) in China showed signs of turning the corner. And while it may still be 2-3 quarters before China returns to healthy growth, it seems unlikely that there will be any negative surprises from here, and we also remind ourselves that China represents only ~10% of Nike's total revenues. We are raising our price target to $120 from $100, on the premise that the market will start valuing Nike on ~$7.00 earnings power in a couple years.
Nike closed on Thursday at $99.00.

How to Find the Right Mobile App Maker or App Development Company
1 Recommendation
charleydejes1128's recommendation
Any programmer with good programming skills may be an app developer with sufficient know-how about mobile application development podiums. Even though the software programs for smartphones are called native apps, they are basically programs which were created for a specific reason. However, those who are experienced with PC application development will certainly battle to develop an app for mobile phones because the smartphone natural environment is entirely different. Mobile app development can be a disaster if the developer doesn't pay attention to the pitfalls that that environments and platforms present. <a href="http://blazemedea.com"> mobile app development </a>

Jobs Data Disappoints, USD Edges Up
The major currency pairs teetered within a close range in the Friday session, whipsawing sharply following the release of the October US unemployment report. The euro slid from above the 1.49-level to a session low at 1.4814 while the yen jumped to 89.62 against the greenback.
The October labor report was worst than expected, with the unemployment rate climbing to a fresh 26-year high at 10.2% versus 9.8% from September. The non-farm payrolls figure revealed a loss of 190k jobs in October, worst than the forecasted loss of 175k jobs from a downwardly revised September reading of 219k jobs lost. The worst than estimated jobs data sent US equity futures lower and pushed the greenback higher on a shift from riskier assets.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
Made these for Easter and they were a smash hit! Everyone wanted the recipe. Doing them again for Mother's Day.
These chocolate stuffed strawberries are wonderful! I made them for my step daughter's baby shower...everyone loved them! They are very easy to put together. I had a few guests that have milk allergies and made some substituting soy based cream cheese and milk and the flavor or texture were not compromised at all. I will definitely be making this recipe again!
Perfect for my hubby!
These are great for just a romantic gift for your spouse. I loved giving them to my hsuband and they look really elegant too! They are super delicious too!
A great strawberry chocolate twist!
These were wonderful and really got rid of the mess your hands and face are after eating regular chocolate covered strawberries. You definitely need to eat them within a day after making and I thought they tasted better right after I filled them rather than after being refrigerated. Used a paper towel lined container when I put them in the fridge which helps because the berries leak. It's a MUST try!
Great Idea
my favorite desert just got even better!!!!

Hello Everyone
Let me hear your thoughts on which has less recoil a Glock 19 or an XDSC 9mm?
Printable View
Hello Everyone
Let me hear your thoughts on which has less recoil a Glock 19 or an XDSC 9mm?
Welcome to the forum!
Perceived recoil is a very subjective thing. However, the XD is significantly heavier than the Glock (29 ounces v. 20 ounces), which will mitigate felt recoil.
... Both are 9mm. I wasn't aware that 9mm really had "recoil".
Just kidding.
But no really, both of them are great guns and similar in design so I doubt there will be much difference. As Matt pointed out, the XD is a bit heavier so would probably soak up more recoil. Not like 9mm is very hard to handle, though... Good grip and stance go a long way :yup:
Welcome to the forum and best of luck.
Pete Zaria.
Again, welcome to the forum.
Weight is a very big part of recoil... feel is another. Go shoot them both for yourself, but comparing a compact with a sub-compact is an interesting comparison. Personally, I would compare a sub-compact with a sub-compact. Glock 26 would compare better to the XDsc 9mm. I like the Glock 26 much better than the XDsc.
Once again, go shoot them both for yourself and see which one you like best. The 9mm is a very easy load to handle in most all handguns today.
while I haven't shot the G19 and the XD9 side by side, I have shot the G23 and XD40 in the same session (different calibers, same "platform comparison").
I noticed more "felt recoil" with the XD, probably because of the higher bore-axis...I definately prefer the Glock (for other reasons as well).
The XD's, model-to-model, present with less recoil than their G-rock counterparts. That said, it's only 9mm. There really isn't much recoil there to begin with.

New Topcoat on Painted Concrete Basement Floor
Ok, my wife and I will be looking to freshen up the rec room in the home we just purchased. The floor has a nasty carpet on it when we moved in which we promptly discarded. Under it was a smooth, grey painted floor. unfortunately there were a couple spots where they used some carpet glue, some chalk and marker spots, and some spots that were dirty from wear, since th carpet used was thin and had no padding.
I would like to top coat this with either an Epoxy (preferred) or another coat or two of floor paint.
As for the condition of the current paint, aside from what was mentioned above, there is no peeling of the paint. I would estimate the age of the paint as being put down sometime in the mid-70's to early 80's based on the remnant of mustard yellow shag carpet I found under the built in bar, which had good paint under it. Coincidentally, the only holes in the concrete are several small ones from where the bar was removed and they had nailed it into the concrete. Because of this, I am going to say it is safe to assume that there is not a water issue in the slab.
What would be the best Epoxy or floor paint to use on this, and what prep should be done before coating it?
I will get a picture of the floor later on when I get home.
I like BM's epoxy reinforced Latex floor paint.
- It isn't real slick- more like an eggshell finish
- easy to apply, dries pretty quick- self priming
- Durable- but easy to touch up if needed
Vacuum- wash well, vacuum, and then vacuum again. Its amazing how bits will still get away from you.
I would agree with Brushjockey and go with the latex BM. Two things you don't need in a basement rec room, an ice hockey rink in socks, and a serious hazmat situation in winter with pilot lights ablaze.
The washing will be the hardest part. But, if the floor has been carpeted forever, do you need to wash?
It's going to take a little elbow grease and a lot of vacuuming but prep the floor as thoroughly as you can and use a good floor paint like BJ said and it will turn out nice.Post some after pics when it's done.
