My ratio would probably be 60% sailing & 40% maintenance. Like some of the other posters I find the maintenance work relaxing; bit like getting away to my shed
I think another issue is how old your yacht is. Newer yachts should have less mnaintenance, whilst anything over 20 years old is going to require regular work.
On the question on whether smaller yachts require less maintenance, I think it partly depends on how much gear / gadgets, etc are on board. A yacht used for daysailing only with icebox, minimal instruments,etc is going to be fairly simple to maintain. However a yacht used for extended passages with fridge / freezer, watermaker, multiple charging (wind gen, solar), lots of instruments, etc, etc is going to require a lot more maintenance. The larger yachts tend to have more gear so this is probably one reason why the bigger yachts require more maintenance.

And if I were to run myself ragged about every glass of red wine that is spilled, every scratch that happens, every dent in the cabin sole because a plate was dropped, then it's time to get rid of the thing.
Everything should always work and the critical things should be as reliable as they can and due care will be taken to look after her but the boat was only new once - it'll never be new again. No matter how much you spit-n-polish, time will reduce the value and a shiny 30-year-old is not going to be worth a vast amount more than a well-used 30-year-old. The effort and cost to keep it shiny isn't worth it (unless that's your passion).
As far as costs go, I guess if you want a show-piece you're possibly right. Sure, a bigger boat costs more to maintain but that's because it has more things that can fail so it needs more maintenance, but it's also because all the stuff just costs more. The standard of living that you are prepared to put up while sailing with will govern this. I like to live on my boat like I live at home and I'm prepared to pay for it.

|On a smaller 24'-28' sailboat the ratio leans more towards sailing time. Between my wife and I both participating we can be underway in 20 minutes and on return have everything put back in 20 minutes. We have it down to routine. The annual maintenance will always be a bit more onerous and I put aside other days to do it when I have nothing better to do. Lots of those days available. It seems the bigger the boat the more work and expense is involved to maintain it. When we are out there I notice most of the others with us are in the same size range as us. Smaller boat = more sailing time. The down side is less overnight cruising due to space constraints, I cannot deal with more than a few nights aboard a small ship.
|You can be the guy who waxes and polishes his motorcycle and hauls it on a trailer to shows (where he waxes it again) or you can be the guy who mercilessly flogs a 20 year old Honda that hasn't seen a wash mitt since Clinton was in office. Both tell stories, both enjoy riding, but one does a whole lot more of it. In the end both are worth about what you paid for them.

Generally, we schedule dedicated maintenance weekends. Maintenance is kept to a minimum when we go out, but as others have said, there is always something.
That said, the weather has been so crummy this year, that almost every weekend has been a maintenance weekend. It is hard to get motivated when it is p******g rain, cold, and no wind. Finally got out over Easter, with an encore last Sunday. It felt so-o-o good! If we get out every second weekend from here on, I'm a happy man.
The usual routine is:
Arrive at boat Friday. Remove sail covers and hose the beach sand off the deck. If the weather is nice we'll have a relaxing sunset/evening sail. I keep the tanks topped and engine ready to go so we can be out of the slip in less than half an hr.
Saturday morning have a light breakfast and cast off. Sail Pierpont Bay and maybe down to Oxnard for lunch or dinner.
Sunday morning the covers go back on, any maintenance that needs to be done is done then and home we go.
The routine changes if we're going out to the islands or up to Santa Barbara. On longer voyages we'll cast off around 8 or 9am on Friday and return with the evening winds on Sunday. If we leave much earlier than 8 we'll just be motoring longer before the late morning winds pick up.
I can tell you about power boat maintenance. I had one for 7 years. first day back, wont start, no power,work on battery, connections in starter circuit, clean carbs, check topoff oil, clean plugs, tighten belts, replace fuel filters, now it starts. topoff heat exchangers, check impellers, now we can go boating.
boat works great for a couple of days, then park it and come back in a couple of weeks,wont start, repeat.
Wait I forgot; pump water condesate from bottom of fuel tank, dump bad fuel, refill tanks, add 1 gal stabil, (work overtime for a few weeks to pay for gas), come back to boat, repeat above.
I never mix sailing with work.
When there is maintenance to do I go to the boat and do the maintenance and then go home. And I take a lot of maintenance stuff home and do it in the week.
When I go sailing I do no maintenance unless it's something that stops me from managing the boat properly. Then it's step on board, ten minutes to prepare the boat (sail covers, engine checks) and we're gone.
I don't begrudge the work at all. If I did, then I wouldn't have a boat because I love a boat that looks nearly pristine. To me, it's a floating sculpture and I'm ok with the work to get it and keep it that way.
With this said, I'm still not in the water due to a lot of rain in VA and an unexpected problem with the centerboard. We should be in next weekend and cruising by Memorial day.
I have friend's who never stop working on their boats...but that is a conscious decision...as they never sail.
I just spent 2 hours cleaning the bottom of the boat and tomorrow I will spend an hour changing the oil. That is the first work on the boat in the last 3 weeks during which I sailed from Miami to St Thomas a distance of 1200 miles.

Thanks for the info guys.
Unfortunately it only comes with the Air Intake Pipe. I called "Bud" at Keffer VW (North Carolina) and they helped me track down a dealership in Ohio who had it in stock (apparently the only one in the US). Apparently a customer had ordered it and never picked it up.
I am having the part sent next day to me. Very expensive piece to loose.

|I think they will let Gabby have the baby- just think of all the funny story lines. Plus I think she will fall in love with the baby and be a quirky but good mother even if she doesn't breastfeed. I think we forget sometimes that jsut because you don't mother the way others do, that it does not mean you are not a good mommy.

|Lynette's kids do NOT have ADHD. She had the medication for it because the dr. was quick to diagnose and prescribe. She almost gave them the meds once but realized it was wrong to do so just to control them and that they were just rambuctious boys. Plus, the boys refused to take it (smart boys). I think her boys are getting better, personally. She just has to threaten them with taking them over to Bree's house now.

Ok, so I haven't put this in Item Discussion because it's not an item, it's something personal.
Before I get this coded up, I'd just like (if I may) some feedback from you Themeforest folk.
Homepage: http://cl.ly/image/3d36392Z2w1C/o Post Page: http://cl.ly/image/1Z2J0G3r2x2N/o
The site (if you couldn't already guess) is going to be a travel blog for my friends and I when we set off to travel the World in a few weeks. We'd also like to use it to drive some income.Income sources will be:
- Google Ads
- Affiliate Commissions (travel guides, travel insurance, backpacks etc)
- Youtube Ads
Because of this, I have put focus on the newsletter opt ins (to drive repeat traffic and increase ad earnings), heavily focused on 'resources' (or affiliate products) and included a more noticeable link to our Youtube videos (although these will be posted as normal posts anyway)
Is there anything I have missed? Anything you would change?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated Thanks.
@quickandeasy: you may update this thread,because is in "ThemeForest" forum instead of "Item Discussion". Anyway, is a great design!
@Ivor: About the template, where is it? I can't see it in the list of recently approved items.
Nice template and useful information for the traveler to go to somewhere in the world.Liked!!
i think you need different background and some work on typography (specially colors on heading and main content)
I think it's great. Only thing I would change is the white shadow on the black text in header, it's too strong really.
Really nice.
Maybe there could be tiny bit of polishing on some of the typography but that's nit picking. Also personally I would not have a border around all of the email update blocks, but that's just me.
Looks great
I think the typography could be improved. It does not really seperate important headlines.
And I see some inconsistent padding and margins
Thanks for the feedback guys!
@ Minimalthemes, I'm not dead cert on the colours yet either and I will be updating the background. I've kept the same pattern but reduced it's opacity and scaled it down to 50%.
@ Turkhitbox, what is inconstant padding?

Mehsana Airport is a civil aviation training base in Mehsana, Gujarat.[2][3] It is used for non-scheduled operations.[4]
An abandoned airfield was developed by the Government of Gujarat and a private company, Ahmedabad Aviation and Aeronautics Ltd (AAA Ltd) on a public-private partnership basis in 2007, the first such partnership in Gujarat. The 64 acre airport was developed with the help of the Indian Air Force and DGCA and was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.[5] AAA Ltd used the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad prior to shifting its training activities to Mehsana Airport in 2007.[6]
The airport was at the centre of a dispute between its owners and the Mehsana Municipality, which sealed the facility twice in 2010 due to non payment of taxes. AAA Ltd however contended that it is not liable to pay the said taxes. The facility was reopened after the Gujarat High Court ordered the same.[6]

Wagner: reviled and revered, German history and music entwined
By Michael Roddy
BAYREUTH, Germany (Reuters) - Former German infantryman Hans Himsel lived through scenes in 1944 at the Bayreuth opera house worthy of the finale of Richard Wagner's "Gotterdammerung" when Valhalla goes up in flames.
In this bicentenary year of Wagner's birth, Himsel, 90, recalled the last wartime production at Bayreuth. It was August 9, 1944 and the cast performed "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg", which contains the command "honor your German masters". The Nazis had turned the piece into a propaganda pageant.
Although malnutrition was rampant, and Paris was to be liberated two weeks later, Himsel, a butcher's apprentice who was wounded five times and survived the Russian front, said for the last performance the backstage and catering crews were feted with a band, half a duck each and all the wine they could drink.
Adolf Hitler considered Wagner his favorite composer. History's problem, compounded by Wagner's virulent anti-Semitism, has been disentangling the two.
"We danced at the feast while the soldiers died," Himsel said in an interview at a Bayreuth restaurant and hotel where Wagner stayed when he was building his Bavarian opera house in the late 19th century.
Hitler was a Bayreuth regular and kept it going during the war by buying up tickets for soldiers to attend. Hitler's use of Bayreuth for propaganda purposes, rivaled only by his manipulation of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, resonates still.
"Of course Wagner's reputation is terrible, I understand why people have the feelings they do about his music," American soprano Deborah Voigt, who sings Wagner's "Ring"-cycle heroine Brunnhilde, said in a telephone interview from Florida.
"It's odd to me because as someone who is spiritual, and has a lot of faith, it feels like the music he wrote was divinely inspired and in such contrast to what his personal views were." Continued...

I had this happen to me recently and it was frightening!
I had baked a turkey breast, took it out of the oven, sat it on the stove, and it exploded. Glass, and juices from the turkey shot all over my kitchen and into the family room! I picked up the chunks, washed and vacuumed the floor but I still found glass in places for weeks....including a chunk I took out of my puppies mouth weeks later. I threw all my glassware away, and will not buy it again.
When it exploded it sounded like someone shot a gun in my house.
And I was standing right in front of the stove when it exploded. I was very fortunate the glass didn't hit me in the face, or eye...
or the juices for that matter....
DANGEROUS with no warning.
#2 May 18, 2010
Since most bake ware comes from China anymore with its inferior quality, watch for bubbles baked into the glass. Heating can cause it to explode.
#3 May 18, 2010
About 8 months ago, I took the Baked Salmon out of the oven. Put it on top of the stove, and the Pyrex pie shaped cookware exploded. I still have two other pie shaped cookware, which I still use, and no problems. The Pyrex is about 20 years old.
#4 May 19, 2010
This happened to me a couple of years ago. I was reheating something in the oven in a glass pyrex pie dish, and took it out and as I was removing it from the oven, the glass dish exploded. The linoleum floor had little burn holes all over from the hot pieces of glass sticking to it. Yes, I agree this could be a serious problem, especially for people with smaller children around.

This subject appeared in emails several years ago. Link to snopes.com below has good information on this subject.
Since: Aug 09
#6 May 19, 2010
Originally,(when the product was American-owned and American manufactured), Pyrex(r) glass was manufactured with a material called borosilicate, which gave Pyrex (r) its unique heat resisting properties.
A number of years ago, the company was sold to a Chinese firm, World Kitchen, in 1998. They changed the formulation of the glass and began to use what is known as soda-lime in place of the borosilicate,(soda-lime is a much cheaper material). Soda lime glass is the WORST choice they could have made. The disadvantages of soda-lime glass is that is not resistant to high temperatures and sudden thermal changes.
There is little chance that the "gummint" will be able to successfully pressure the Chinese to remedy this since our largest creditor nation is China... in essence, they do not have to respond because they own us.
Welcome to "Hope and Change"!

Gosh, it never happened to me.........probably because I don't use them
#8 May 19, 2010
I use glass bakeware (Pyrex) all the time and have never had any problems. I think eveyone just wants to blame their own stupidity on companies (like the guy who sued McDanald's because he didn't know hot coffee would be hot). I think people who don't understand the basic properties of glass shouldn't use it. I think the folks who work with PYREX BEAKERS in the labs would have been the ones complaining if there was actually an issue with the product. Just to point it out to anyone who missed it, GLASS CAN BREAK. I'm just so fed up with the sheer stupidity of the general public and I'm embarrassed for you all.
#9 May 19, 2010
That will always happen if you put COLD glass into a HOT oven. Maybe you should study some fundamental physics. I could have told you that would happen. Oh, and guess what? If you put a HOT glass dish into COLD water, it will break, too. It's basic physics and I'm astounded you didn't know that. There really is a problem with the public school system. I have to question the wisdom of someone so ignorant trying to raise children.
#10 May 19, 2010
I think I am going put some chicken in a glass pan and broil it in my toaster oven then through it on the stove to reduce the juices. Not, cast iron rules!

They are lying. I had one explode on me. it was a purple pyrex.I pulled it out of the oven and took the food out of the pan. I went to move it and it exploded for no reason at all. All I did was touch it with my finger to see if it was still hot. I had glass all over me for days.

#12 May 19, 2010
For all you idiots that think you are smart. It is cookware it isn't supposed to explode. They never did before. Just like the lead in toys. blame the maker not the cooker. They should be held to to expectations of being moved from cold to hot and hot to cold. I don't know who wouldn't preheat there oven before putting the pan in it. They are supposed to be made to do that idiot.

Glassware never explodes in Cubami!
#14 May 19, 2010
I had this same thing happen to me twice. An Anchor Hocking glass cover that was suppose to be oven safe exploded into little pieces upon taking it out of the oven. Also a Pyrex glass baking dish as seen on the news last night did the same thing when I took it out of the oven. I was hit in the face with glass and just thank God that my toddler wasn't in the kitchen at the time. I was very shaken and left it just as it was so my husband could see it when he came home. He was shocked and couldn't believe it either.
#15 May 19, 2010
Wow, that casserole was exploding with flavor! Bu dump dump chshhhh.
#16 May 19, 2010
Why do any actual research when you can listen to propaganda, right? Look at these sites (as well as Snopes.com ).
Pyrex Love is NOT sponsored or endorsed by the Pyrex company (it's run by fans of the product). If you do your research, you'll find out Pyrex always has been and is STILL manufactured in the USA. This is just pathetic mud-slinging on a company that's been in business 95 years, and they didn't make it this long making shoddy products. And everyone who buys into this story should really go back and take a gradeschool level science class.
Look, every company tries to "idiot proof" things, but as soon as they do, there's an even bigger idiot to take the place of the last one.
#17 May 19, 2010
Dear Heidi-- this same thing happened to me this past winter, glass went flying and even burnt my hardwood floors in my new house. Thankfully none of the kids were in the kitchen and some how it missed my eyes. Thanks for sharing this with everyone!
#19 May 28, 2010
Last week I had cooked some pasta in a metal pan and after dinner put the cooled leftovers in an Anchor Hocking bowl. I put the bowl in the refrigerator. A couple days later opened the refrigerator to find an exploded bowl and shrapnel all over the refrigerator. This bowl was NOT used for cooking. I put the contents into the bowl after it had cooled a bit. There is NO REASON that this should have happened. Consumers ARE at risk. The company is covering up as companies so often do.

Jordan Reed a strong TE1 option
In Tyler Loechner's Week 8 PPO Potpourri, Jordan Reed is highlighted as a strong TE1.
Jordan Reed a strong TE1 option
Welcome to the Week 8 edition of PPO Potpourri, where we look at the previous week's fantasy points per opportunity (PPO) data to find the players that made the most of their opportunities and go over how you can use that data to win in Week 8.
This article will list the top 10 players in terms of last week's PPO from the wide receiver, running back and tight end positions. It'll also dig a little deeper to find some players worth knowing that weren't in the top 10. We'll also take a look at some season-to-date PPO data to find the players that have been performing at a high level on a consistent basis.
An opportunity is defined as Carries+Routes Run, so PPO is Fantasy Points/(Carries+Routes). In order to qualify for the top 10, a player must have been in the game on at least 25 percent of the number of snaps the snap count leader at their respective position took each week. For example, if we were both wide receivers and you took 100 snaps and I took 24, I would not qualify for the list. This data is for standard leagues.

Frozen CCV failure, do I need a new engine?
Hey guys, I had a pretty serious issue with my E46 and I'm looking for some advice. I have a 2004 325xi with about 80,000 miles on the clock. Yesterday I started the car up to make a quick trip, and after driving for a few blocks I was at a stop light and my engine begins to lose RPM's and begin to die. I tried revving the engine while at the light but it ended up dying. It didn't want to turn over but I was able to get it started while pumping the gas. I immediately knew there was something wrong with the engine, it idled terribly and tons of smoke poured out the exaust. I immediately pulled over and had the car towed to a mechanic I usually use.
Today I got a call from him. He said that he examined the engine and one of the cylinders was filled with oil. He believes this was caused by a frozen CCV, as I live in upstate NY (Albany) and it has been cold recently. He stated that he drained the oil from the cylinder by removing the spark plug, but there was still a large amount of smoke coming out of the exhaust, which he believes indicates that the piston and its oil ring had been damaged. He advised he believed the only way to repair it would be to rebuild the engine or replace it with a used engine.
My question is if these are really my only options? When I searched for this issue, I saw others had had it and simply needed to drain the oil and replace the valve. Is it possible the smoke is just left over oil and the engine could be ok? Could the oil cause piston damage that would require a rebuild? He advised that rebuilding the engine would be a waste of time due to the labor involved and advised getting a used engine and having him do the swap. He quoted me 5,000+ for the whole thing, which would include the used engine, new belts and everything for that,a new CCV and thermostat (which apparently is throwing coded) What do you guys think? Either way that sounded like a high estimate for a swap so if I have to go that route I would probably look for another shop, any suggestions in the upstate NY area?
Thanks for the help!

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Watchdog groups are pressing for the release of an Egyptian blogger, arrested last month for posting articles critical of Islam on his Web log (blog).
They say Abdel Karim Nabil Suleiman, 22, is a victim of Egyptian attempts to limit freedom of expression on the Internet.
Suleiman, known by his Internet pseudonym Kareem Amer, was expelled from the Al-Azhar University earlier this year because he wrote critically about the role of religion in Egypt, the Middle East Media Research Institute reported on Thursday.
(Al-Azhar is the regarded as the highest Sunni Islamic learning institution in the region. The grand imam of al-Azhar mosque, Sheikh Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, is one of the most senior Muslim clerics in Egypt.)
Suleiman also was arrested last year when he condemned violent Muslim reaction to a Coptic Christian play, which some Muslims considered offensive to Islam.
The Cairo-based Arabic Network for Human Rights Information and the Egyptian Observatory for Justice and Law are campaigning for Sulieman's release. The groups say he's been imprisoned on "false charges."
"The real reason for his imprisonment is that he expressed his anti-governmental and anti-Islamic views in his own online articles," the groups said.
According to the groups, which are providing legal representation for Suleiman, he was supposed to be questioned before a judge on Thursday in the presence of his lawyers, but police misinformed the lawyers about where the interrogation would be held and took Suleiman to a different court, where he was given another 15 days' detention.
A petition calling for Suleiman's release has been posted on the HAMSA (Hands Across the Middle East) website. HAMSA is an American Muslim organization that promotes civil rights in the Middle East.
HAMSA Director Jesse Sage said more than 1,500 people have sent emails to the Egyptian government and U.S. State Department demanding Suleiman's release.
"This is the first time that someone [in Egypt] was arrested for what he wrote on a blog," said Sage by telephone. Other bloggers have been arrested, but usually for participating in street demonstrations, he said.
In the last article posted before his arrest, Suleiman blasted clerics at Al-Azhar University and predicted he would be arrested for it.
"[To] Al-Azhar University, to the professors and sheikhs at Al-Azhar who stood and stand against anyone who thinks freely, I say: You will end up in the dustbin of history. Then you will find no one to cry for you," Suleiman wrote according to a translation provided by MEMRI on Thursday.
According to Reporters Without Borders, Egypt is among the 13 countries known for violating freedom of expression on the Internet.
The Washington-based human rights advocacy group Freedom House said that the number of Egyptians with Internet access has more than quadrupled in the last five years but stands at less than six percent of the population.
"The Egyptian government does not engage in widespread online censorship, and online writers regularly criticize the government and launch concerted campaigns for political change," Freedom House said on its website.
Nevertheless, it said that, "bloggers were arrested, detained without charge, and harassed by state security agents."
Freedom House mentions Suleiman's arrest. It also mentions the arrest of online editor Ahmad Abd-Allah, whose papers, books and hard drives were confiscated. According to Abd-Allah, during his interrogation he was pressured to close his website. But later he was released without charges on condition that he maintain contact with state security.

battery cables
What is best for battery cables? What size is the minimum?
Doc here, :pimp:
4 gauge to 0/0 depending on length of run..
Doc :pimp:
I agree with Doc, however it is always a good idea to go with the larger cable. I have found for relocating the battery in the trunk marine grade cable works very well. It is very flexible like welding cable and can be had in various AWG sizes and colors. I got mine from McMaster Carr www.mcmaster.com When I located my battery in the trunk, went with 1/0 AWG catalog #6948K75.
I too use the marine grade cables. #2AWG for under the hood batteries and #0 AWG for trunk mounted ones. #2 welding cable makes good conductors but the marine grade is STANNOUS coated for corrosion resistance. The coating looks shiny like silver but is actually good old tin. Make sure you run the negative cable to the ENGINE not the frame. Then run the flex strap from the fire wall to engine and a cable from the engine to frame.
I also use the red and black heat shrink with GLUE. This stuff totally seals the connections after you properly crimp the lugs on. Most electrical supply houses will crimp a connector or two for low $$.
Doc here, :pimp:
ALL good information! :thumbup:
Remember to use rubber grommets if you run a cable the length of the car..or have to pass through a bulkhead with it..and everywhere you come close to a metal edge, use anti~Chafe, and don't forget a good clamping system..(and plastic ain't it..)
To build the very best ground buss:
Run a properly gauged Ground cable from the battery to any handy bolt at or near the starter, On the BLOCK. From that very same bolt get a Battery cable at the parts store, that has two 3/8 ring terminals on each end and attach it there and to the Frame rail.
Run an 12 ~18 gauge wire from the Fuel tank sender ground lug to the frame rail.
Next get some 10 gauge wire and ring terminals and run that from your bolt on the block to the Firewall, and another to the Alternator bracket or mount bolt.
If the Bracket and alternator is power white remove them both and their hardware, sand or pressure wash them until clean semi shiny metal, dry and reinstall.
You have electrolysis there..and it will also eat a water pump impeller up faster than any acid..The Alternator Bracket and Alternator housing is Aluminum and the block is Steel..(what were they thinking?)
When you go to reinstall the brackets, go to the hardware store and get some aluminum wire compound, and coat everywhere the mount hardware meets steel (bolts, mount surfaces Ect..)
Next get some Wire Braid, (Radio Shack) and install braid from the radiator support to the frame, Fenderwells to frame , hood to firewall, Doors to door posts, gas flap to body, tailgate / Trunk to body.
At each point the wire is grounded, Burnish ALL the paint and grease off to bare metal. Use a proper star-washer and lock. Use sheetmetal or Tech screws where no screws are available.
It sounds like a lot of work, but after you assemble all the parts, it's only a few hours to do..and you'll end up with a system that will work reliably for many years to come..and can eliminate that from your troubleshooting list.
A lot of this Larry and 302/Z28 already covered..this is to help you to ground stuff you probably never considered...
Doc :pimp:
Doc Vette has just high lighted and underscored the most common cause of electrical problems in the automotive industry: POOR GROUNDS!!!. Follow his guidelines and you will never have an electrical problem that is not the result of a short, cut wire, or burned out electrical/electronic component.

Whirlpool washer leak
I have a Whirlpool Super Capacity Plus washer. It leaks. Until recently, it leaked during use. Now it may be leaking all the time. I haven't found the model number. I have had it upside down and the parts are not very accessible, if that helps. I don't see any belts.
I'm wondering if this is likely an easy fix or if I should just bag it.
The pump is what leaks the most, it's a direct drive on the front of the motor. If you check the bottom of the pump on the end near the motor you find evidence of leakage. You maybe able to replace by leaning the unit against the wall and this will cause the motor,pump and transmission to move back so you can remove the two clips and two hoses and replace the pump. Normally the cabinet is removed to do this repair. It takes about 4 minutes if you know how.

Stapes i've just had a custom peice finished and my tattooist was pissing himself with excitement at the thought that he could get to be creative and sketch up a design using his creativity with my idea (im FAR from an artist and he's Latvian so it took me a while to get it accross lol)
Present your ideas to various places and see who shows a buzz towards doing the idea, if they aren't keen they aren't worth the time!
Prepare to wait (any good artist has a waiting list!) and prepare to pay through the nose as a large peice (eg. a sleeve) will set you back £60ish an hour for around 10 (half sleeve) to 20 (full) ish hours!
Good luck buddy

Among the myriad conditions humans suffer from that aren't terminal, lower back pain is among the most debilitating. What makes it such a pain, literally and figuratively, is that it affects mobility, sometimes takes ages to settle, and tends to be recurrent. It seems to affect those who work in sedentary jobs most of all, which means drivers are vulnerable. Not only are they at the wheel in the same position for extended periods of time, but they are also subject to varying degrees of jarring, depending on the vehicle driven. In my experience, long-distance air flights also put back pain sufferers at increased risk of a recurrence.
Contributing in no small way to back pain are car seats, many of which have inadequate lumbar support and, often as not, no adjustment whatsoever. In those with adjustable lumbar support, it is invariably inadequate. Only in the higher value vehicles with lumbar air pumps is adjustability truly up to snuff.
So what can be done about limiting symptoms and reducing or even preventing recurrences? Back in the mid-90s when Toyota used to make cars locally, they touched base with the McKenzie Institute, which developed an ergonomic seat for the Corona and Corolla models. This had added lumbar support and simply felt right. Even to this day none of the smaller (supermini/compact) mass market cars come close to providing adequate lumbar support adjustability. My search for lumbar rolls led eventually to rediscovering the McKenzie Institute.
For the past few years, I have been experiencing intermittent bouts of lower back pain, most of which are incapacitating for weeks rather than days. Naturally, one tries to do something about this to prevent a recurrence. I tried strengthening core muscle groups by doing situps, and went to yoga regularly, both of which helped but didn't prevent recurrences.
It was the search, as mentioned, for the lumbar roll that led to my discovering the Treat Your Own Back book. It costs $27 and can be bought here.
What the author suggests is that in our daily routine we tend to flex the spine way more than we extend it, and for best spinal health, you need to be doing spinal extension exercises regularly to counteract the effects of long-term slouching at a computer screen or behind the wheel of a vehicle.
The McKenzie Institute even recommends doing this form of exercise to hasten the recovery from an episode of back pain, beginning by gently extending the spine, resting on your elbows rather than straightening your arms and supporting your upper body on your hands. Do this often and your recovery is foreshortened.
What helped me also was buying some of the lumbar rolls, both for the car and for home and day job work stations. These not only help to align your spine better while sitting at your desk or in your car, but also relieve tenderness while recovering from an acute episode of lower back pain. Inflatable rolls are available as well, and are recommended for airline flights.
Finally, if you suffer from recurrent back pain, you will probably never be cured of it. For over a year, I hadn't experienced any further recurrences, until recently. And I believe the latest was the result of feeling as though I had been cured, and forgetting to do regular spinal extension exercises.
Note: I have no financial or other interests in the McKenzie Intitute or spinalpublications group.

I suffered with severe lower back pain for more than 30yrs. Gave up mountain biking, golf and anything involving standing for long periods or walking far. Saw about Ian Mckenzie talking on tv about this book , got it and started following the self treatments. Long story short - less than 3 mths later I was feeling great with only minor niggles every now and again. Ian Mckenzie is a genius and the Institute does fantastic work. I can't recommend it enough.
Step 1 for men: take the wallet out of your back pocket. It's much easier to keep in the front pocket now that I carry less cash!
I've found a brilliant physio that helps me with this stuff, when I do the exercises he prescribes. Unfortunately, he's retiring soon.
I've heard about this book, will keep an eye out for it.
Your 'core' muscles are designed to work isometrically, e.g. to keep things static, not to contract as in a situp. Planks are easy, functional yet challenging. Situps will often make back pain worse.
After 20 years old back, neck, shoulder pain, physios, chiropractors etc that didn't do much and at times made it worse, I brought a inversion table off trademe, best thing i ever did. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_therapy
I am a dr by profession with expertise in pain relief.One tool i would like to share with you all is about a little known pran yantra,what we call tesla purple energy plates in the western world. These plates became more popular after Linda Goodman wrote about the metaphysical qualities of the plates in her book, The Star Signs. While on a visit to india 2 years ago, i bought a couple of them because they were so cheap at $5 per plate.I used these plates on my patients with back pains, migraine, etc and more than 99 percent of them have positive results.
"what we call tesla purple energy plates in the western world."
Actually, most people would call these "placebos" (personally, I'd call them bull****, but I don't want to seem impolite). Use some old newspapers next time and save yourself $5, leaves you more to spend on energy crystals and homeopathic remedies. I presume the people who design spine-knotting car seats are doctors to the same extent you are.

CBS Cracking Down on Celebrities Showing Skin at the Grammy Awards
CBS has sent an email to all talent appearing at the Grammy Awards on Sunday warning them not to bare too much skin. TMZ has obtained the email, which was sent by CBS Standards and Practices to individuals connected to the various celebrities expected to appear on camera during the Grammy telecast and gives several warnings.
Among the warnings, celebrities must make sure not to show too much of their gentials, butt or breasts. The email notes that "Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack…Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples."
It continues, "Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts."
In addition, the email notes that all foreign language on clothing has to be cleared. The email notes that "Obscenity or partially seen obscenity on wardrobe is unacceptable for broadcast. This as well, pertains to audience members that appear on camera."
Finally, CBS is banning any sort of accessory which contains the name of an organized cause if it is "visibly spelled out." If not spelled out, it is fine.

What "Regional Security Interests" Are Met by Selling F-16s to Egypt?
What security interests are met by selling jets to Egypt?
The U.S. is going ahead with the sale of several F-16 fighter jets to Egypt. According to a document obtained by the Free Beacon, the State Department is defending the sale on the grounds that it promotes U.S. "regional security interests."
U.S. interests in the Middle East essentially boil down to the free passage of oil into the Gulf and it's not clear how Egypt's newly bolstered air force is supposed to contribute to that. Indeed, the language the State Department uses to defend the sale doesn't actually address anything particularly relevant to U.S. security, but instead notes how the aircraft will help solidify ties with Egypt and help their armed forces protect their border -- from what, we're not told:
"Delaying or cancelling deliveries of the F-16 aircraft would undermine our efforts to address our regional security interests through a more capable Egyptian military and send a damaging and lasting signal to Egypt's civilian and military leadership as we work toward a democratic transition in the key Middle Eastern State," the State Department said.
"Egypt is a strategic partner with whom we have a long history of close political-military relations that have benefited U.S. interest," said the letter, which was authored by assistant secretary for legislative affairs David Adams. "For the past 30 years the F-16 aircraft has been a key component of the relationship between the United States military and the Egyptian Armed Forces."
It's clear what's going on here: the administration is desperately seeking some form of leverage with Egypt and thinks these jets will provide it. Of course, the U.S. showered the Shah of Iran with weapons and that didn't prevent an anti-American revolution.

77 C10 stepside electrical problems
Well, here's my story. It's a '77 C10 stepside 350/350 Hydro. My mother bought it for me as a welcome home gift, for coming back from my second tour of duty, from a salvage yard. This was in 2006 and has been running (limping around) just fine....UNTIL NOW!
It won't turn over and I had a shop bench test the starter, good. At the time i was stuck in a lot in the dark doing all this and found some freyed wires and tought it would be the problem. i cut and twisted them together for a better connection and it started up first try.
The next day I bought some 10ga. and connectors and repaired it properly and tried to turn it over, nothing.
OH, as I tried to start it so i could move it to the driveway for repair, it didn't start. i retwisted the wires again and it fired up first try.
Now I'm stuck and even with a wiring diagram, dvom, logic probe and a whole lot of frustration.
I had my ol'lady turn it over while I check for power/ground and it's definantly switching but not even a 'click'. The igniotion switch was my first thought, but i can see that my batt is 'under load'. so it has to be working....right?
the next thing i thought it was is the starter sol. I tried to jump it with a button type, and again double checking with my logic probe to make sure that i had power on the batt. side and gound on the other. With koeo and logic probe on the ground side(green LED) I pushed the button and nothing....BUT, i got a red LED signifying that it sent power through. Am i missing something?
please help,

New Faces: Michael A. Perez
By Robert Coster
Photo: Knockout Publicity
In only his second pro bout, Newark, NJ lightweight Michael Angelo Perez, then 18, was signed up by Golden Gloves Promotions. He had just destroyed Tommy Garcia in one round and impressed Bernard Hopkins, no less, who recommended him to Golden Boy. Remembers Hopkins, "I saw a lot of talent in that young man." Now, almost three years later, Perez (11-0-1, 5 KOs) is getting ready to headline a Telefutura card in Lares, Puerto Rico on April 4th. "I'm born in Newark," says Michael, "But my family is from Lares. Fans in Puerto Rico really know boxing and I'm training hard to impress my folks back home."
Michael Perez turned pro after a scintillating amateur career that saw him win 110 out of 122 bouts, a National Golden Gloves title in 2008, two New Jersey Golden Gloves championships and being a member of the US national team. Talking about his amateurs days, Perez remembers that he lost his very first fight, "I was just a little kid and took it real hard. My dad, Jesus (his present manager), told me that I didn't have to step back into the ring if I didn't want to. I looked at him and asked: when is the rematch?"
This anecdote is very revealing of the kind of young man Michael is. Comments father Jesus, himself a former boxer, "Michael can box, he can bang. He's a great body puncher and has a great jab. But, most of all, he is a fierce, gritty competitor."
As for his plans for 2011, young Michael Angelo just hopes to get more TV exposure. His first appearance on Telefutura was in his sixth pro fight, looking impressive in beating Francisco Reyes who came to that fight with a (5-0) record.
Another noteworthy result in Perez' s young career was a one round blowout of Colombian Hevinson Herrera (14-7-1), a boxer who had rumbled with world champions and contenders.
"I'm taking it one fight at a time. I train hard for every opponent. Being humble is a key to success in this game. I let Golden Boy and my dad guide my career. They know how fast they want to take me. My job is to train hard, fight and keep winning."

Time to Talk
*Trigger warning: This blog post is about intimate partner violence*
Over fall break, my mom made an unexpected visit from California to New York City, where I go to school. She had been called the night before, told that her daughter was expressing suicidal thoughts, and asked to please come pick her up from the Metropolitan Hospital emergency psych ward as soon as possible.
"You know," Mom began, "you didn't really look scared or angry or anything when you were in there."
A good observation. I wasn't scared or angry. I was mostly just tired.
"You looked like you were thinking, 'One day, I'm going to write a book about this,' and like you were already writing it in your mind," she said.
In a way, I was. That night, I decided to end my silence and start talking. After four months of post-traumatic panic attacks, spirals of self-deprecation, and isolation from almost everyone, I felt like I had some explaining to do.
He was my first boyfriend. I didn't know anything about relationships, and I was cynical about them after my parents' divorce. I liked him because he was, like me, a little angry at the world.
But it made it harder to draw the line when his anger turned into threats, and his angst turned into depression. I didn't know how to respond when he said he would kill himself if I didn't do what he wanted, when I would Skype with him and he would hold a knife to his throat.
On Halloween night of my senior year of high school, he told me about his plan to run away from home. He wouldn't listen to me when I asked him not to, and I became scared when I read his increasingly violent texts.
He only stopped his threats when I agreed to have sex with him. I didn't have any other choice unless I wanted to feel responsible for both his escape and planned suicide.
That was the first time I had sex.
"But the first time is never good, right?" I told myself as I wiped my tears on my drive home.
He knew how to get what he wanted after that. If I said no, he'd threaten his life.
I told myself it had to get better. It never did.
He exploited me not only sexually but also emotionally. The night before my AP Spanish exam, he ran away. I drove until 1 a.m., when I found him two miles from his house, running. He focused on my flaws, appealing to my deepest insecurities. I was forced to filter every word I spoke around him. A minor slip of phrase could be cause for a new threat.
My work slipped and my friends watched, confused. "Why don't you just break up with him?" they would ask. "This isn't your job."
But it's more complicated than that.
When you convince yourself that you're in love, you'll do anything to keep that feeling alive. You might convince yourself that crying in anticipation of, during, and after sex is normal. You might think it's okay for your partner to say demeaning things about you on a daily basis. This is the danger and the power of an intimate partner in a violent relationship. We dated for two years.
A year after I graduated and escaped to New York, the effects of ignoring the truth hit me with full impact. Depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety destroyed my appetite, concentration, and self-esteem. Fearful of judgment, I kept everything to myself.
It was only a few months until I found myself in the psych ward, circling the thought that I had landed myself there by trying too hard to save another's life and crying with nothing else to do. The woman in the bed next to me whispered, "They'll keep you here longer if you keep crying." But I don't belong here, I wanted to say. I didn't ask for this.
Nobody ever asks to be a victim of sexual violence.
Sexual assault comes in many forms, and intimate partner violence is often overlooked as one of them. As a survivor, I face questions like, "But how could it be rape if he was your boyfriend?" The answer involves a redefinition of the concepts of coercion and sexual assault that immediately come to mind. But this definition is just as legitimate and destructive as the one that most people recognize.
My silence, fear, and instability lost me most of my friends, took a severe toll on my physical health, and almost cost me my life. The idea of sharing myself intimately with anyone terrifies me to this day.
This month is dedicated to sexual assault awareness. Starting a conversation, and feeling comfortable having it, is a step that has a huge effect in reshaping rape culture and promoting an atmosphere for survivors where they can feel safe and supported.
As someone who had my ability to speak for myself taken away from me, I value these conversations. As I regain my voice, it comes back stronger each time I tell my story.
Though this is not the book you predicted, here you go, Mom.

text: So i bought Rhino ramps to ease the chore of draining the oil. Eagerly I threw them in front of the car ready to try them out. Problem, they won't stay put so I can drive the front wheels up on them. The rubber pad underneath the front edge keeps coming out as well. Anyone else have similar trouble? My garage floor has been epoxy coated so it isn't bare concrete so it is a little slick. I would do it on the driveway but it is too steep. unfortunately I haven't sold the wife on the idea yet.

Adams Resident Honored With Public Service Award
Robinson was chosen because of his work in the community and his leadership, perseverance and innovation.
He received his associates degree in hospitality from Berkshire Community College and shares his culinary experience with his community. He has volunteered his expertise, time and knowledge for the Meals Ministry Program at the Parish of Blessed John Paul, which provides a hot meal once a month to those who can no longer manage a home-cooked meal for themselves. He was on the planning committee for the Youth Center, and has been an active member of the Conservation Committee.
"For Tom Robinson, it is all about neighbor helping neighbor," said Laurence Clairmont, who has volunteered with Robinson for the past 15 years at the Pope John Paul Charity Center and the Sunday Meal Program for shut-ins. "The number of lives that have been positively impacted by Tom's generosity and compassion are in the thousands. It is my belief that Tom Robinson's volunteer efforts are aptly described through the voice of the Dalai Lama, 'Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.'"
This award commemorates the extraordinary generosity of Margery Barrett, who gave more than $3 million during and after her lifetime to benefit the communities of Adams, Cheshire and Savoy. The Barrett award is given annually to an individual who has shown their generous spirit and strong commitment to those communities through their paid or volunteer work by breaking new ground or improving the economic, educational, civic, cultural or social fabric of the community. The fund is managed by Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation of Sheffield.

If you consider yourself to be a die-hard Arsenal supporter with a respectable level of banter, then an Australian Gunners fan has the perfect job opportunity to tickle your fancy.
The fan, who goes by the name of Dino, has posted an opening on the website Gumtree offering a lucrative salary of 150 Australian dollars per game (£88) for a young student to watch Arsenal's matches in the Champions League.
The applicant would then be expected to commentate on the action and "engage in banter with specified targets" so that Dino can read up on the events at a later date. He then indicates that some forms of "strategic flirting and mind games" may occur with "several females."
However, cautious applicants will spot near the bottom of the advert that any person looking to apply will need to "undergo a three-day drilling to test your quick-wit and banter skills", and should you fail to reach Dino's high standards, you won't get the job.
See the full advert below ...

This project supports 60 villages in three rural communes (Sanankoroba, Dialakoroba, and Bougoula) and two urban areas (Mopti and Gao). It aims to promote the emergence and strengthening of a community-based local development process. This process aims to pool community resources and local talents to promote self-development in order to increase household income for more sustainable local economic development.
To this end, the project encourages local ownership by proposing participatory and democratic management of community affairs. The project relies on the creation of rural associations. It offers about a year of training, in which members of these associations learn to design and execute their own development projects. The project especially targets women.
This is a new feature, part of CIDA's efforts towards increasing transparency. Information will only be available for projects approved after October 15, 2011. For other projects, information on expected results is usually included in the description.
Results achieved at the end of the project include: 41 percent of rural association members are women, and women entrepreneurs manage more than 50 percent of projects. The project made it possible to improve community organization and increase the number of local people involved in managing and developing villages and neighbourhoods in the targeted areas (60 villages in the Sanankoroba area and 9 neighbourhoods in Gao). The project's micro-credit component allowed for the implementation and strengthening of 69 Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations directly managed by the communities. In rural areas, the project helped to improve farming productivity, through the purchase of farm equipment and animals, and to increase family income, among other things.

Getting started with Key Vault in Node.js
This sample demonstrates how to create and manage a keyvault and interact with it in Node.js. We will also write an app that consumes information from the key vault.
In this sample
(a) We will learn how to create and manage a keyvault. we will perform operations on it like storing and retrieving keys and secrets. Finally, we will authorize an application and give it permissions to interact with the vault.
(b) we will write a weather application that talks to the openweathermap api to retrieve the current weather data for a given city. The app will need an API key to make the call, which we would store in the key vault we provisioned in the above step and fetch from the app.
On this page:
- How to run this sample
- Understanding what index.js does
- Understanding what weather-app.js does
- Understanding what cleanup.js does
How to run this sample
If you don't already have it, get node.js.
Clone the repo.
git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/key-vault-node-getting-started.git
- Install the dependencies.
cd key-vault-node-getting-started
npm install
Create an Azure service principals, using Azure CLI, PowerShell or Azure Portal.
This service principal is to run the sample on your azure account.
Create another Azure service principal using Azure Portal.
We will authorize this service principal to access key vault. In this service principal, from the azure portal, create a new key and save it. note down the key value upon hitting save. Also, note down the application id and the object id for the service prinicipals, we would use them later.
Set the following environment variables using the information from the service principal that you created.
export AZURE_SUBSCRIPION_ID={your subscription id} export CLIENT_ID={your client id} export APPLICATION_SECRET={your client secret} export DOMAIN={your tenant id as a guid OR the domain name of your org <contosocorp.com>} export OBJECT_ID={Object id of the service principal} export SP_KEYVAULT_OPERATIONS={application id of the app, that we want to authorize to interact with keyvault, created in step 5} export OBJECT_ID_KEYVAULT_OPERATIONS={Object id of the app, that we want to authorize to interact with keyvault, created in step 5} export WEATHER_APP_KEY={key value that we noted down in step 5} export KEYVAULT_SECRET_NAME=open-weather-map-key
[AZURE.NOTE] On Windows, use
setinstead of
First we need to provision a key vault resource and authorize an app to use it.
node index.js
- Get an API key from openweathermap and securely store it in key vault.
azure keyvault secret set --vault-name "<key vault name>" --secret-name "open-weather-map-key" "<api key>"
Alternatively, you can accomplish this from the Azure portal as well.
> You should be logged in with a service principal that has access to the key vault resource.
> The secret-name should match the environment variable (KEYVAULT_SECRET_NAME) exported
> in step 6 above and is also used in weather-app.js.
Run an app that displays current weather conditions for a given city.
node weather-app.js <key vault name> <city>
key vault name: not the whole url, just the name from https://<vaultName>.vault.azure.net/
city: format is
redmond, usor
London, uk. country is optional but it helps in disambiguating city name.
To clean up and delete all the resources we created, run the cleanup script.
node cleanup.js <resourceGroupName> <keyVaultName>
What index.js does
The sample creates a new key vault, add a key and a secret to the vault, retrieve keys and secrets from it, authorizes an app to use this keyvault's resources.
We start by logging in using your service principal and creating ResourceManagementClient and KeyVaultManagementClient objects. We then perform an authentication handshake with the KeyVault service before creating a KeyVaultClient object.
msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain, function (err, credentials) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
resourceClient = new ResourceManagementClient(credentials, subscriptionId);
keyVaultManagementClient = new KeyVaultManagementClient(credentials, subscriptionId);
var kvCredentials = new KeyVault.KeyVaultCredentials(authenticator);
keyVaultClient = new KeyVault.KeyVaultClient(kvCredentials);
We then set up a resource group in which we will create the key vault resource.
var groupParameters = { location: location, tags: { sampletag: 'sampleValue' } };
return resourceClient.resourceGroups.createOrUpdate(resourceGroupName, groupParameters, callback);
The next step is to create and provision a key vault resource.
var keyPermissions = ['get', 'create', ...];
var keyVaultParameters = {
location: location,
properties: {...},
tags: {}
keyVaultManagementClient.vaults.createOrUpdate(resourceGroupName, keyVaultName, keyVaultParameters, callback);
One a key vault has been provisioned, we interact with it by
a. adding a key.
var attributes = { expires: new Date(...), notBefore: new Date(...) };
var keyOperations = ['encrypt', 'decrypt', ...];
var keyOptions = {
keyOps: keyOperations,
keyAttributes: attributes
var keyName = '<name>';
keyVaultClient.createKey(vaultUri, keyName, 'RSA', keyOptions, callback);
b. set a secret.
var attributes = { expires: new Date(...), notBefore: new Date(...) };
var secretOptions = {
contentType: 'test secret',
secretAttributes: attributes
var secretName = '<name>';
var secretValue = '<value>';
keyVaultClient.setSecret(vaultUri, secretName, secretValue, secretOptions, callback);
c. get all keys from the vault.
keyVaultClient.getKeys(vaultUri, callback);
d. get all secrets from the vault.
keyVaultClient.getSecrets(vaultUri, callback);
Finally, we authorize an app to interact with keyvault, by specifying an access policy. To accomplish this, we first get the vault we created from the resource group using a
vaults.get call. We then call
createOrUpdate on that vault, with updated parameters, which contains an additional
access policy. The
createOrUpdate call will replace the parameters, so we copy the vault's original properties into our new
parameters object and append a new
accessPolicyEntry to it.
keyVaultManagementClient.vaults.get(resourceGroupName, keyVaultName,
function (err, result, httpRequest, response) {
var vault = result;
var parameters = new keyVaultManagementClient.models.VaultCreateOrUpdateParameters();
parameters.location = vault.location;
parameters.properties = vault.properties;
var newAccessPolicyEntry = {
tenantId: domain,
objectId: objectIdForKeyVault,
applicationId: keyVaultSp,
permissions: {
keys: ['get', 'list', 'import'],
secrets: ['all']
keyVaultManagementClient.vaults.createOrUpdate(resourceGroupName, keyVaultName, parameters, callback);
In case if we hit an error while executing these steps, we initiate an auto cleanup and exit.
console.log(`performing auto cleanup on error. deleting ${keyVaultName} and ${resourceGroupName}`);
What weather-app.js does
The app starts by logging into the azure account, by using your service principal.
We then authenticate with the KeyVault service by using the service principal that was previously authorized to interact with the key vault in index.js (see: SP_KEYVAULT_OPERATIONS)
// authenticate with key vault with a service principal that we gave access in index.js
var kvCredentials = new KeyVault.KeyVaultCredentials(authenticator);
Once authenticated, we fetch the secret's value from the key vault, which would be our API key for openweathermap.org
// get the secret's value (api key for openweathermap).
keyVaultClient.getSecret(vaultUri, (err, result) => {...});
We then make an http request to openweathermap with the api key and city name and display the weather information.
// query openweathermap api and get weather data.
http.get(requestUri, (res) => {...});
What cleanup js does
Running cleanup.js deletes the key vault that the sample created:
console.log('\nDeleting key vault : ' + keyVaultName);
return keyVaultManagementClient.vaults.deleteMethod(resourceGroupName, keyVaultName, callback);
It also deletes the resource group that the sample created:
console.log('\nDeleting resource group: ' + resourceGroupName);
return resourceClient.resourceGroups.deleteMethod(resourceGroupName, callback);

If you are dreaming of a steady place to vacation, don't let your timeshare purchase become a nightmare. Consider the following information before you commit to buying or reselling a timeshare.
Purchasing a timeshare. Just like any other real estate transaction, purchasing a timeshare is a big investment. Similar to buying a home, the wise consumer should take a measured approach before they commit. Although vacation real estate timeshares are often touted for their investment potential, consumers' experience with the industry do not always tend to support that claim.
Consider the following before purchasing a timeshare:
Timeshare resale scams. Beware of anyone who approaches you offering to resell your timeshare. Timeshare reselling scams have intensified in recent years, and scam artists who pose as timeshare resellers often deceive consumers out of thousands of dollars through false promises and upfront fees. Resellers identify timeshare owners through public records or lists bought and sold from resort developers and then contact the owners by phone or letter.
If the owner expresses interest in selling — and many do because they no longer regularly use the unit, can't pay rising maintenance fees or simply need the money from the sale — scammers claim they have a buyer. The company tells the seller they need to pay several thousand dollars to cover fees, and after paying up, the seller never hears from the company again.
In addition to nonexistent buyers and upfront fees, scamming resellers often promise a hefty sale price. But in reality, one-week time-shares that may have sold for $20,000 new a few years ago now fetch as little as a few thousand dollars on the resale market, depending on market conditions.
Protect yourself:
To confirm that a reseller of timeshares holds a real estate license, contact the Oregon Real Estate Agency at (503) 378-4170.
If you believe you have been victimized by a timeshare resell scam, please complete a Consumer Complaint Form or call 1-877-877-9392.

All images copyright Hugo Barros
Evocative of that heady post-1968 period of architectural exploration, the collages of Lisbon-based artist Hugo Barros recharge the legacy of psychedelic graphics in the representation of built form. Some of these collages feature floating surfaces of a giant scale, recalling Superstudio's Earth-devouring Continuous Monument. Others superbly juxtapose disaster and architectural stability, challenging structural equilibrium and suggesting kinetic buildings.
Besides the subject matter, the collages are graphically compelling due to their achievement of complexity through the use of only two to three component images. Angular forms strike off obliquely from the viewer, plunging into cities or blocking out the moon. Here, the artist seems to be introducing the type of dynamic composition often seen in the work of the Constructivists or the Futurists. This is the type of art that makes us all wish we were as talented. See more images below, as well as on Hugo Barros's tumblr.

South Atlantic Street Overpass will open Jan. 27 opening major bottleneck
information from WSDOT
Prepare to say goodbye to a bottleneck that has long frustrated drivers near the Port of Seattle's busiest freight terminal.
On Monday, Jan. 27, the Washington State Department of Transportation will open a new overpass to the west of Seattle's stadiums. The overpass allows traffic to bypass a busy railroad track that crosses South Atlantic Street and will help freight and drivers move faster and more reliably through the area. Today, train activity often blocks traffic for extended periods, which not only slows truckers traveling to and from the Port of Seattle, but also creates backups that stretch onto Seattle streets and Interstate 90.
"If freight can't move, nobody moves," said Matt Preedy, deputy administrator of the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program. "This overpass can save truckers as much as 20 minutes of travel time between the port and I-5 or I-90. Improving freight mobility will benefit everyone."
The overpass is part of the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program, which includes a two-mile-long tunnel beneath downtown Seattle, a mile-long stretch of new highway to connect the south entrance of the tunnel near Seattle's stadiums and a new Alaskan Way surface street along the waterfront to connect SR 99 to downtown.
Next steps
To complete the connections between the overpass and nearby streets, crews must close South Atlantic Street and the State Route 99 off-ramp to Atlantic this weekend. Both closures will start at 4 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 25. The overpass will open to traffic by 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 27.
The section of Atlantic beneath SR 99 will remain closed to through traffic until the SR 99 tunnel opens to traffic. Drivers will instead use the new overpass to travel in both directions between Atlantic and Alaskan Way South.
Later this winter, crews will complete improvements to the bicycle and pedestrian path on the west side of SR 99 between Atlantic and South King streets.
The north leg of the overpass will open to the public after the tunnel opens and will eventually link traffic to a newly rebuilt Alaskan Way and Seattle waterfront.
