"Great B&B in St Augustine"
5 of 5 stars
Reviewed by Rob R
"My wife and I had a quick weekend get away, sans kids, to St Augustine and the Westcott. This was a FIRST-CLASS B&B. The location is fantastic--overlooking the bay, close enough to Old Town to walk everywhere but just far enough away to have peace and quiet. Not being on the beach is not a drawback--a quick drive over the Bridge of Lions and you are at the beach. Our room was quiet and private, very clean (extremely important to my wife) and quite large for a B&B. Breakfast was great, especially the BAKED FRENCH TOAST on our second morning! The house is beautiful, but the BEST part of this review is the STAFF at Westcott. They are PROS and were extremely gracious and helpful with anything we could need or want. St Augustine itself is a fun place to visit with the combination of history and beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to return to the Westcott in the future! "

Kai Ryssdal: Commentator David Frum has been thinking a lot about climate change. What can be proved. And what has to be inferred. And about how all that might affect the decisions that are being made in Copenhagen and in Washington.
DAVID FRUM: We know how carbon dioxide interacts with heat radiation. We know how much carbon dioxide is being added to the atmosphere every year. And we have a fair estimate of how much more will be added over the next decade if nothing changes.
The trouble is, we don't know the things we most want to know. How much will additional increments of carbon raise the planet's surface temperature? How dangerous are such changes? What value should we set on preventing them?
Because we don't know the most important things, our climate policy is necessarily based on projections. We are trying to measure risk and the value of mitigating risk. In other words, climate policy is a little like buying insurance.
You'd never spend your entire income on a life insurance policy. On the other hand, it would be reckless to go uncovered against large and possibly lethal risks.
That's the approach we should be taking with carbon dioxide. We want to put a price on carbon dioxide that encourages consumers to conserve and producers to substitute.
The cap-and-trade plan before Congress does not set prices. It sets a limit on the total amount of carbon to be emitted. Such a system creates complex and often perverse incentives, as the Europeans are discovering. In order to win political approval, they set the emissions cap so high that no carbon abatement is expected for years to come.
A carbon tax, by contrast, would instantly signal everyone to change their behavior. A tax of, say, $15 per ton would add 14 cents to a gallon of gasoline and raise an estimated $80 billion a year. And it would launch a shift that could be accelerated by higher taxes if the first round did not work fast enough. And unlike a cap-and-trade system, which creates property rights, a tax is very easy to reduce or repeal if further research shows that global warming is proceeding slower or is less harmful than governments today fear.
A good insurance agent thinks not only of the policy he or she wants to sell, but about the total needs of the insured. Let's have more of that kind of thinking and less hustle.
RYSSDAL: David Frum is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

You've got everything you need to get your new small business off the ground. Except for one. The name. You might think that the name of your business is a small concern, and you may not even have considered registering it. However, it's very important that you register your new small business name. Here is why and how to do it.
You Need a Small Business Name for Paperwork
To get an Employer Identification Number, a D&B D-U-N-S® number, or apply for any loan, your business must have a name. The forms you will be filling out are incomplete without one. And you can't just choose any name on the spot; you have to use the one that is registered for your business. If you're the sole owner, the name of the business is your full name. If it's a partnership, the name is the last names of the partners or the name given in your partnership agreement. If you have a limited liability corporation, the business's name is the name you register with the state.
Choosing Your Small Business Name
Unless you're happy with your business being your and your partners' names, you will need to register a fictitious or "Doing Business As" name. This name should reflect what the business does, and should represent your company's mission. You cannot use your company's fictitious name on official documents unless you have registered it as the name under which your company does business.
Registering Your Small Business Name
The requirements for registering your small business name differ from state to state. SBA.gov has a list of links to the specific requirements for each state, so find your state and follow the link to learn what you need to do. In most cases, it is simply a matter of filling out a Fictitious Name application form, and filing it with the appropriate agency.

Tue 7:00 PM
2700 North Vermont
Los Angeles, CA 90027
Under The Sun, the annual summer festival tour celebrating the golden age of alternative pop rock 'n' roll, will make a stop at The Greek Theatre, LA on August 12. Under The Sun 2014 trek boasts a spectacular line-up that includes Blues Traveler, Sugar Ray, Uncle Kracker, and Smash Mouth.
2013's inaugural Under The Sun tour was among last year's most popular and acclaimed events, earning ecstatic media attention with each stop along the way. Critical applause also came from all corners, with Entertainment Weekly officially declaring UTS13 to be "the coolest tour of the summer!" In addition to major features in such nationally read publications as Billboard and the Los Angeles Times, LATFUSA.com hailed the UTS show at Los Angeles' legendary Greek Theatre as "a nostalgic night with unbelievable energy radiating from both the stage and the audience." "If you missed this one, your loss," noted Examiner.com, "it was amazing… a great show, very energetic and a real crowd pleaser." Michigan's Oakland Press applauded Under The Sun as "an upbeat evening of '90s nostalgia… a funny four-hour package show of pop and alternative hits from the final decade of the 20th century," while the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette praised the "packed" Stage AE date, noting, "each of the groups has a sizable following that will continue to fill venues for years to come, no matter how far they are removed from their youth… Their childhood soundtracks haven't missed a beat." "What a remarkable time," raved OmahaNightlife.com, "what a happy night, what a show."ColumbusUnderground.com summed it up best, decreeing Under The Sun 2013 to be "one of the best shows I've seen on the outdoor stage… a celebration of the last great era for alternative music that delivered exactly as expected, all with the promise of another show next year that could again become one of the highlights on the summer calendar."
For updated tour information, log on to www.underthesuntour.com.
Blues Traveler is an American jam band from Princeton, New Jersey. Currently, the group is led by harmonica virtuoso John Popper (vocals, harmonica) along with Chan Kinchla (guitar), Brendan Hill (b. March 27, 1970, in London, England, UK) (drums), Tad Kinchla (b. February 21, 1973, in Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A.) (bass) and Ben Wilson (b. November 17, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.) (keyboards). Tad Kinchla and Ben Wilson joined the band following the death of original bassist Bobby Sheehan in 1999 of a drug overdose in New Orleans. While Blues Traveler is best known among fans for their improvisational live shows, the general public is most familiar with the group from their fourth studio album Four. Released in 1994, the two singles "Run-Around" and "Hook" gained mainstream radio popularity.
Blues Traveler's subsequent releases were not as successful as the quintuple platinum sales of Four, though the band has maintained a loyal fanbase from the beginning of their career. Their albums with A&M in the later 1990s include Straight on Till Morning and Bridge. The group signed with Sanctuary Records and released Truth Be Told on August 5, 2003. Their latest album, ¡Bastardos!, was released on September 13, 2005.
Sheehan's untimely death in 1999 and Popper's struggle with obesity put a damper on the group's success, and A&M dropped the band after low sales of their 2001 album Bridge. However, the band took this transition period as an opportunity to start in new directions musically. Popper, who at one point weighed in at a dangerous 420 pounds, had gastric bypass surgery in 2003 and is no longer obese.

Motion filed in Bisard case
Prosecutors have filed a motion in connection with the David Bisard case.
Bisard is the Indianapolis Metro Police officer who was involved in a fatal crash while on a police run in August 2010. Motorcyclist Eric Wells died in the crash and two of his friends suffered life-changing injuries. Bisard is accused of driving while intoxicated at the time of the crash.
Brienne Delaney with the Marion County prosecutor's office says the prosecutor has filed a motion asking a judge to release for alcohol testing a previously-untested vial of Bisard's blood. The blood is one of two vials that was drawn shortly after the fatal crash.
Delaney says the prosecutor has also asked that the judge order Bisard to submit to a DNA test. The motion states that the test is necessary for the state "to prepare its case and to rebut any potential defense."
There is a hearing this Friday at 1:30 pm in Court 5. Delaney says it is a status hearing and multiple things will be discussed including the two recent motions.
A judge ruled last year that the blood test couldn't be used to support drunken driving charges because testing procedures weren't properly followed.

EL PASO, Texas - A Las Cruces man is behind bars facing more than 15 charges from two separate incidents.
Police arrested Jaime Moore, 22, on Wednesday for a number of charges stemming from a stolen handgun.
According to investigators, the charges stemming from the gun are just the tip of the iceberg. Moore was already on the Las Cruces Police Department's radar after a months-long sex crime investigation linking him to a young girl and two other children.
"It feels good, as a police department, we know that we do have somebody who is responsible for several crimes in the city -- several heinous crimes against minors -- so it feels good for us that we've protected the community," said police spokesman Dan Trujillo.
Court documents obtained by ABC-7 said police spoke with an alleged victim back in June. The girl, whose name is not being released by ABC-7, told investigators that Moore asked the girl repeatedly if he could take her virginity. She told a detective that he eventually forced himself onto her multiple times.
Moore is also accused of touching another child while raping the alleged victim, and in other instances making three children sit in a room while he masturbated.
Moore is facing five counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor, among other charges.
At last check Moore was being held at the Dona Ana County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.

And if that wasn't a hard enough pill for Chiefs fans to swallow, the Broncos may be on the verge of landing the best free agent pass rusher on the market, DeMarcus Ware.
In Kansas City, the Chiefs lost five starters including three on it's offensive line, it's best return man / wide receiver last season and it's starting defensive end. In exchange for those defections, the team managed to re-sign back-up safety, Hussain Abdullah.
Though I applaud the Hussain move, because I think the Chiefs may pull the plug on Safety, Eric Berry at some point this season or next, the Broncos are clearly in the AFC West Drivers seat.
As I pointed out yesterday, I'm not all that upset about the players that defected from Kansas City on Tuesday but the fact the team, cap strapped at the moment, wasn't more creative irks me a bit.
Case in point the New Orleans Saints entered the Free Agency circus this past weekend with less than $1 million in cap space but they managed to sign all world Safety, Jarius Byrd, to a mega rich contract on Tuesday evening.
The Broncos aren't stopping with the aforementioned players either. They are currently linked to a pair of mid range linebackers, Jon Beason and Daryl Smith. Both would be impressive upgrades, and should they be signed, suddenly the Broncos have the best defensive unit in the AFC West.
The Kansas City Chiefs had hoped to make some improvements at the onset of free agency on defense but that hasn't been the case. Based on what Denver has done so far, they are under some pressure today to upgrade their own leaky defense in free agency.
A year ago the Broncos upgraded their offense by signing Wes Welker away from the Patriots and it's clear they're convinced they can make one more run with Quarterback, Peyton Manning in charge of the offense.
The Chiefs should have been just as convinced that some key upgrades would enable the franchise to wash the stench away of their embarrassing playoff lost in January to the Indianapolis Colts.
Though we're still under the 24-hour mark in free agency (and more veteran roster bonus babies will hit the open market after 3:00 central time today) it's clear the Broncos remain the class of the division. Even though they overpaid for the oft injured Talib and the under-sized Ward; they've clearly set the tone within the division.
Thus if Kansas City wants to make some noise in free agency they better start soon. Adding veteran linebacker, Joe Mays and wide receiver, Jason Avant, might be in the cards on Wednesday but (on paper) they'll need some bigger names to compete with Denver in 2014.
If not, it's a long two months until the NFL Draft begins.
Can the Chiefs catch the Broncos on paper?

5 Speed Swap 00' 328i (Donor 99' 328i)
First off I want to say thanks in advance for any help. Ive been reading up on some great threads regarding the swap but I wanted some personal advice for my specific swap. I just bought a new house so I'm a little strapped for cash but want to do it right. This car isn't my daily driver so it can be down for sometime.
My car - Auto 2000 328i
Donor car - Manual 1999 328i
First off I assume these two cars are compatible for the swap?
For everything mentioned below I've been using Neil's post for reference (great info btw)
I have access to anything from the complete donor car and need to know exactly what I need to take. Its in complete working order and had a new clutch/flywheel installed a year ago.
Parts I know required (so far) to pull from donor
Transmission and mount
Clutch Flywheel Assembly
Gearshift and linkage to tranny
Clutch/brake pedals
(Clutch module)
Clutch Cylinder
Existing Clutch/Flywheel/Cylinder:
Since the clutch/flywheel is in good shape is there any reason I cant just mount it up in my car? Any other parts I might need to do this?
I know I can reuse the radiator but mine does have a crack by the filler cap so I will probably replace mine with the manual version, I'm assuming thats all I'll need?
For programming I plan on calling a local reputable shop to see if they can accomplish this. I guess I'm not entirely against sending out the modules out to get them programmed if needed.
I think those are the big questions for now. Any other large ticket items I'm missing? Luckily I have a lift and appropriate tools to remove the tranny so that should hopefully help!

Very good start to lightroom if you have never used it before. If you do use it the tips in this lesson will still help you keep your photo library organized. Most other lightroom videos are much more expensive. For the price of this complete series many other places would charge 10 tines as much.

I think Christina has done an excellent job explaining and demonstrating the numerous Lightroom features in this video !! I also definitely appreciate the added bonus of the presets and keyboard shortcut templates ! Thank you EXCELLENT video.

The Cubs made it seven pitchers in a row in the 2012 draft with this trio of arms
Trey Lang, RHP, 6th Round, Pick #194, Gateway Community College
A hitting star in high school, the Cubs used their sixth round pick last year on a 20-year-old with an explosive fastball.
Signing on July 3 for $165,000, the 6-foot-3 right-hander made his pro debut July 11 against the Padres working a perfect inning with a strikeout in the Arizona Rookie League. Five days later, Lang allowed four hits and a walk as the A's tallied four runs in 1.2 innings. Yielding just one run in his next two games, Lang worked four scoreless innings on July 31, his longest outing of the season, giving up four hits with four punchouts. After not pitching the first three weeks of August, he returned to the mound making two more appearances allowing three hits and one run. Lang finished his first pro season with a 3.29 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 13 innings. He only issued two free passes to go along with 11 strikeouts and a .286 BAA in seven games.
At Skyline High School in Mesa, it was Lang's bat that drew attention as the senior hit .356 with 7 HR and 27 RBI in 27 games. He posted .455 average with a school-record nine homers and 35 RBI in 32 games as a junior. After graduation, he enrolled at Northern Illinois University appearing in four games as a pitcher and also played outfield for the Huskies, going 7-55 at the plate. He allowed 12 hits in 7. 1 innings with three walks and four strikeouts. He then returned home and played for Gateway Community College in Mesa. Out of necessity, Lang started pitching and quickly became the team's best pro prospect. With his fastball in the low 90s, Lang crafted a 0.87 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 31 innings, earning Arizona Community College Athletic Conference first-team honors for Division 2.
According to Kevin Gallo of Big League Futures, Lang was drafted by Cubs for his fastball and projects the pitch at 94-95, hitting 98. Lang posses a plus slider with a hard break that is a strike out pitch. Gallo thinks Lang could start but projects better as a back of the bullpen arm and thinks he could make a quick rise up the minor leagues with a Wrigley debut possible in 2015. Lang may make a push for Kane County before the season is done, but will likely start the year at Boise. He's relatively new to pitching having only logged 55.1 innings the past two seasons.
Anthony Prieto, RHP, 5th Round, Pick #164, Americas High School
He may stand only 5-foot-11 and weigh 170 pounds, but the Cubs liked what they saw with Anthony Prieto's fastball and took the youngster out of El Paso with their fifth-round pick.
The left-hander recovered from the arm injury that cut his senior year of high school short and made his pro debut on July 8 against the Brewers throwing a scoreless inning in the Arizona Rookie League. Despite some control problems, Prieto was tough to hit as the Texas native was unscored upon in his first nine innings, giving up just one hit with five strikeouts and eight walks. He allowed one run in a three-inning start against Angels on Aug. 11 and then threw three perfect innings against the Reds the next time out with three strikeouts. He was roughed up by the Mariners as he walked three and gave up four hits and four runs in 2.1 innings. He ended the 2012 campaign with two more scoreless innings against the A's. Prieto threw 19.1 innings in the AZL allowing just nine hits in 10 games. He finished with an ERA of 2.33 but had 12 walks and 11 Ks. He led all 2012 draft picks with a .145 BAA.
Not many MLB clubs had the Americas High School lefty on their radar for an early round selection as he missed six weeks of his senior year with a forearm hematoma and didn't pitch club ball during the summer. Tim Wilkin, a former Cub scout who now serves as Special Assistant to the Cubs President and GM, saw Prieto pitch during a fall showcase in Arizona where reports say his fastball was clocked at 97 mph. Prieto was lights out his senior year going 6-0 with 70 strikeouts in just 40 innings with 16 walks and 16 hits. He had committed to play baseball for Howard Junior College but signed with the Cubs on June 18 for $200,000.
The Cubs seem in no rush to move their young arms through the system so its likely Prieto will stay in Arizona for extended spring training and head to Boise in June. It will be interesting to see if any of the four high schoolers signed by the Cubs make it to Kane County by summer's end but the hard throwing 19-year-old from Texas may be the first if he cuts down on the walks.
Josh Conway, RHP, 4th Round, Pick #134, Costal Carolina
Many draft experts had Josh Conway pegged as a possible second round pick when the 2012 college season got underway but an arm injury allowed the Cubs to take the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder, with their fourth round selection.
A two-sport star for Smithsburg High School in Maryland, Conway was a 2nd team Rawlings All-American and earned several local Player of the Year honors during his high school baseball career. He went 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA as a senior, striking out 52 batters in 35 innings. The Atlanta Braves selected Conway in the 42nd round of the 2009 draft but he headed to Costal Carolina instead. Conway was a two-way player his freshman year pitching in 19 games with five starts as well as serving as the team's DH with a .274 average. He excelled in his second season with the Chants appearing in middle relief, a stint as the closer and finally a top starter. His breakout game came against College of Charleston, ranked #18 at the time, as the right-hander fanned a career-high 12 in 5.1 innings and earned Big South Pitcher of the Week for his performance. Conway ended his sophomore year at 8-2 with a 2.69 ERA (10th best in school history) pitching in 20 games with 12 starts and three saves. He threw 77 innings with 70 strikeouts and allowed 70 hits with 23 walks and a BAA of .241. That summer he earned Cape Cod League all-star team honors going 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA in five starts as he fanned 28 with 10 walks in 28.2 innings. Conway was off a great start his junior season going 4-1 with a 2.14 ERA in nine starts. He logged 54.2 innings with 54 strikeouts and 1.17 WHIP. After coming out of a game against Liberty, it was determined that Conway had torn his UCL and underwent Tommy John surgery on May 15. Despite the injury, he was still named to the Big South second-team. He signed with the Cubs on June 16 for $280,000.
Recovering from surgery, Conway, who turns 22 in April, didn't pitch in 2012 but the good news is he has been participating in regular drills this spring and is expected to make his pro debut in 2013. He will most likely stay at extended spring training and could start in Arizona Rookie League or Boise. While at Costal Carolina, Conway's fastball was clocked in the mid-90s and he also posses a hard breaking slider.
This is the sixth in a series featuring the 17 pitchers the Cubs drafted and signed in 2012. It takes a look at their career before the draft, how they pitched after turning pro, and where they may start 2013. Its also serving as a free look at future subscription only stories that NorthSidersReport will start running soon.
Kevin Gallo, director of scouting for BigLeagueFutures.net, helped contribute to this story. Gallo was recently in Arizona and stopped by Fitch Park for some first hand observations.

We are building a new wireless network complete with a new ACS 5.2 appliance and new LAN controllers with WCS. We want to create an encrypted/secured SSID that ONLY machines managed by us can access the LAN with. We are looking for the best solution with the least amount of complexity. After several discussions in-house, we are looking to use PEAP authentication (currently testing with a self-signed cert), then create an access policy in ACS to validate the machine is a member of Active Directory. Unfortunately I cannot find the way to validate the machine's membership. I'm not sure if I am missing something, or if this is even possible. If anyone has any suggestions to make this happen, or a better way to handle this, I'd appreciate the assistance.
What you need is machine authentication. The machine will first authenticate with its credentials (AD account) and then the user will authenticate too. This option is available under the windows client.
Then you can also set the ACS to only allow a user to authenticate if the machine has been authenticated before.
you have to enable machine auth on the ACS server (Users and Identity Stores --> External Identity Stores --> Active Directory, check the Enable Machine Authentication box)?
Also - under Access Policies --> Access Services, on the Allowed Protocols tab, you enable the "Process Host Lookup" option
Create an access policy, enable PEAP-MSCHAPv2/Process Host Lookup, define conditions by using Identity Group and Was Machine Authenticated which looks like:
1) if Identity group in machine group, then permit access
2) if Identity group in user group and Was Machine authenticated, then permit access
3) default deny access

Just got my first jeep and i have a question
this may be a dumb question but i have a 94 yj with all factory hardware soft top and half hard half soft doors. i just got it yesterday and it is my first jeep. my question is the bar that is part of the roll cage that goes up to the corner of the windshield have been taken off by the guy i bought it from. he said they wont fit in there unless i take the top off. is this true because i really want them in there if possible. it looks to me like the door jam is gonna be in the way. any help is great. who knows i am prolly just an idiot that cant figure it out. lol
ohh one more thing. what are yalls opinions about wheel spacers? thanks to all
all tops will fit with those pieces installed. in fact, they hold the snaps that the soft top attaches to . oh, welcome aboard.
i misspoke. those are part of the roll cage. the only reason i can see to take them off it to put the windshield down. mine have never been off. hard tops, soft tops and bikini tops will all fit with them installed. the snap pieces actually are part of the soft top frame.:doh:
Ahh, first Jeep. You'll look back at this point in time and remember the way it was before. When you had money.
I agree with NavyChief - Bikini, soft, etc., should work fine when you reinstall the bits.
Lots of guys run wheel spacers, but the engineering and physics aspect of them scares me a bit - it seems a bad place to add stresses. Do you need room for fat tires or do you just like the look? And have you looked into wheel backspacing?
yo Geoff, what up?:punk:
the navychief had back surgery and needs $. put off all mods and unneeded repairs. send him the money. if you all comply, navychief will be a millionaire.:rofl:
Anyone else looking for a good NAVYCHIEF sig-quote, here's your chance!:)^^^^^^
Hey there Buckshot..hows Trix? Which Carolina you in? Vinegar or Sugar?

Building a small retaining wall...
The side of my yard is a bit of a slope and I am going to mulch it. To prevent the mulch from just sliding down the slope I am going to build a 1' high wall of 3 courses of these:
filling in the backside with mulch. Though maybe soil would be better...
I know you are supposed to dig a trench and fill it with it with sand first, but I just laid the blocks down on the existing grass. It is reasonably stable, but a bit higher angle than normal because of the slope. I figure it should get more stable once the grass dies.
Does that seem adequate or do I have to go back and do it "right"?
Another option would be to drill holes in the blocks and drive a piece of rebar down into the ground. I drilled a trial 7/8" hole and it goes pretty easy, and I have the rebar that I would just as soon get rid of. 3 piece of rebar over 12'? Or is that overkill.
I need to buy a few more blocks but this is what I am doing.
Yeah, that's what I would do... eliminate the natural path for rain run-off, and create a puddle to see if I can hold standing water up against my house.
not to worry since those spaces will soon fill up w/yard junk,,, post back when that happens & apologize to willie :yes:
Toller, it's really a lot more entertaining for us to discuss solid, logical construction techniques over on ContractorTalk. But we remember when we, too, had to learn from our mistakes. Thus, many of us are here hoping we can save you a few heartaches and also a few bucks by helping steer you around some of the disappointing things that happened to us or others.
Gotcha, but you haven't answered my questions.
The chances of a torrent of water being channeled into my house by a 4" (note the section next to the house is 4" high...) retaining wall full of spaces is about the same as the chances of the retaining wall attracting lightning.
Sure the holes will clog up with mulch, but they will still pass water much more easily then the basement wall. And even if some gets through, it will be picked up by the drains.
might be a few that like to hear themselves talk but, for the most part, many enjoy the opportunity to pass onto younger diy'ers benefits of knowledge & experience,,, we also answer to an obligation to help the dumbbells who come after us,,, if your father'd done a better job, you wouldn't be in here asking dumb questions. :laughing: but it is what it is - we all had fathers & we all came in here :yes:
IF your slope's so steep that mulch slides down, so much the faster the holes will clog,,, yes, wtr will still pass thru however your concern should then be the RATE of passage.
think of the wall's holes as your pot's coffee filter - what happens when you use a filter which doesn't allow the incoming hot wtr to pass thru to the pot - say the filter slows the rate of pass-thru ?
your filter basket overflows, that's what ! :furious: & you ( more likely your bride ) has an f'n mess to clean up just because YOU were too cheap to spend the extra $$$ & buy the proper filters :censored:
now go do it correctly, fergawdsake,,, experience is a great teacher & we all had hot stoves in our lives :eek:
Please keep in mind that right now, your land's slope lets the water run right off. Slow it down with a wall, and the water will puddle, not only on the surface, but also many inches (maybe even "feet") below the surface. And it will find your house wall somewhere down there. Don't encourage water to infiltrate your home.
my fault as i forgot to address this part of your rebuttal,,, ' And even if some gets through, it will be picked up by the drains. ' what drains - the drains inside your home ? most prudent & reasonable folk earnestly try to keep water OUT of their homes :thumbsup:
Do not take an existing foundation wall that doesn't have any water problems and cause new ones for it. That would just be stupid. People do stupid things all the time, even in the face of people trying to save them from their own mistakes.
You want to be SURE the water THAT IS GOING TO ACCUMULATE on that slope will be routed away from your house foundation walls. It's not that hard to do correctly. A bit of gravel, some corrugated tube, landscape cloth and a bit of planning. Otherwise, what, just roll the dice and hope water doesn't ruin the foundation wall and what's inside? Why play that game?
Then there's how the walls are supposed to be constructed. Go pick up a bag of topsoil at the store. Notice how heavy it is? Now picture how many would have to be used to fill up the space behind that wall. Think about how much all of that will weigh. All of that will be pushing against the back of the wall. If you take the time to install the wall properly you can avoid the hassle of the wall being pushed over, and having to do the work all over again.
Construction is all about a lot of simple steps that need to be done right. Get them right and the whole project comes together and STAYS together right. Skimp out on steps and you're pretty much guaranteeing the effort will fail. Why set yourself up for that?
Maybe it wasn't a good picture. The wall is a walkout basement. Water that puddles a few inches below the surface will be below the house.
The house is several feet below the road level, but the water is picked up by drains which gravity feed to lower ground below.
just thinking outloud, willie, maybe WE'RE all wrong,,, we should be advising senor toller to consider buying mulch which is more abrasive & won't slide downhill neither as quickly nor as far :laughing: my bad :whistling2:

Multi-spectral fusion for surveillance systems
Denman, Simon, Lamb, Todd, Fookes, Clinton B., Chandran, Vinod, & Sridharan, Sridha (2008) Multi-spectral fusion for surveillance systems. Computers and Electrical Engineering.
|Accepted Version (PDF 3MB)
Surveillance systems such as object tracking and abandoned object detection systems typically rely on a single modality of colour video for their input. These systems work well in controlled conditions but often fail when low lighting, shadowing, smoke, dust or unstable backgrounds are present, or when the objects of interest are a similar colour to the background. Thermal images are not affected by lighting changes or shadowing, and are not overtly affected by smoke, dust or unstable backgrounds. However, thermal images lack colour information which makes distinguishing between different people or objects of interest within the same scene difficult. -----
By using modalities from both the visible and thermal infrared spectra, we are able to obtain more information from a scene and overcome the problems associated with using either modality individually. We evaluate four approaches for fusing visual and thermal images for use in a person tracking system (two early fusion methods, one mid fusion and one late fusion method), in order to determine the most appropriate method for fusing multiple modalities. We also evaluate two of these approaches for use in abandoned object detection, and propose an abandoned object detection routine that utilises multiple modalities. To aid in the tracking and fusion of the modalities we propose a modified condensation filter that can dynamically change the particle count and features used according to the needs of the system. -----
We compare tracking and abandoned object detection performance for the proposed fusion schemes and the visual and thermal domains on their own. Testing is conducted using the OTCBVS database to evaluate object tracking, and data captured in-house to evaluate the abandoned object detection. Our results show that significant improvement can be achieved, and that a middle fusion scheme is most effective.

Veggie Pride on Display in Big Apple
New York, NY —
Hundreds of vegans and vegetarians - and people dressed as vegetables - marched through the West Village for the First Veggie Pride Parade Sunday. It ended in Washington Square Park, where advocacy groups set up stalls, along with merchants like Roberta Kalechofsky, author of The Jewish Vegetarian Year Cookbook.
KALECHOFSKY: My most popular recipe that people really love is a recipe for vegetarian chopped liver. Incredibly successful. Jewish people love chopped liver. But once you eat this vegetarian chopped liver, you'll never want to go back to meat. Never.
REPORTER: The event was billed as America's first, and featured music, information stalls and non-dairy snacks. Organizers say 10 billion animals are killed each year in the US, and that aside from the ethical and health problems associated with meat-eating, say raising livestock contributes heavily to climate change.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The 12th-ranked University of Tennessee volleyball team won the SEC Tournament with an 18-30, 30-27, 30-27, 17-30, 15-5 victory over No. 10 Florida on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Lady Vols automatically qualified for their first NCAA Tournament since 2000 and third since 1984.
Tennessee won its first SEC Tournament since topping Kentucky at home on Nov. 18, 1984, by a 10-15, 15-5, 15-6, 15-13 score. The Lady Vols also won the 1982 and 1981 tourney titles.
After Florida had won 145 consecutive SEC regular-season matches, 121 straight overall (including SEC Tournaments) and 109 at home, Tennessee topped the Gators twice in Gainesville, Fla., in an eight-day span. Last Sunday, the Big Orange defeated then-No. 7 Florida, 30-21, 23-30, 25-30, 31-29, 15-12.
The Lady Vols have doubled their win total against top-10 teams in the past eight days alone. Prior to last Sunday, UT had defeated then-No. 9 Arizona State, 2-15, 15-1, 15-10, 15-9, on Sept. 17, 1983, and then-No. 7 Arizona, 15-11, 1-15, 15-13, on Nov. 5, 1982.
"This was a great accomplishment for our team, to beat Florida twice in a week," Head Coach Rob Patrick said. "I have such respect for (Florida Head Coach) Mary Wise and knew she would be prepared for us. I couldn't be prouder of these young ladies. They have put their heart and soul into every practice, conditioning and strength workout.
"I'm really glad that Amy Morris is getting the recognition for her play. Usually the players who get recognized have great offensive statistics. She makes our team better by taking a lot of pressure off our younger players and allowing them to just concentrate on what their role is. Her consistent serve reception and great defensive effort really was a catalyst for our success today."
In the first game, Florida used a 13-2 run in the middle of the game to keep the Lady Vols at bay, turning an 8-7 Big Orange advantage into a 20-10 Gator lead. Florida won the game, 30-18. Sophomore middle blocker Sarah Blum (Tulsa, Okla. / Bishop Kelley H.S.) hit 1.000 in the game for Tennessee (3-0-3).
The second game was extremely tight early on as neither team had greater than a two-point lead until UT took a 15-12 advantage. The Lady Vols would not let the lead escape them, but could not extend it to more than three points either, prevailing by a 30-27 count. Senior outside hitter Michelle Piantadosi (Boca Raton, Fla. / Olympic Heights H.S.) hit .429 in the game (6-0-14).
Tennessee took the lead in the third game by winning the first two rallies and only relinquished it once when Florida tied it at 25, before the Lady Vols put the Gators away with four straight points, capped off by a sprawling dig by junior setter Julie Knytych (LaGrange Park, Ill. / Lyons Township H.S.), which she sent the ball just over the net and down between a group of Gators. UT won the game, 30-27.
Florida had the lead the majority of game four and pulled away from the Lady Vols with a 9-1 run for a 21-12 advantage. A later 6-1 run gave UF a 28-16 advantage on its way to the 30-17 win. Junior outside hitter Amy Morris (Michigan City, Ind. / Penn State) tallied eight digs in the game.
The Lady Vols came out strong in game five, scoring the first four points and not letting Florida to muster any sort of run, defeating the Gators, 15-5. Tennessee now moves its record this season when losing the first game to 8-1.
For the match, Morris had 16 kills and 21 digs, her 16th double-double of the season, and earned SEC Tournament honors.
"It's great to get recognition from the country," Morris said of defeating Florida twice in a week. "People thought it was a fluke the first time and that we were lucky. They didn't think we could come into the swamp and win again.
"Once things got down to the wire, in the 27s and 28s, everyone stayed calm. We stayed with our motto all year, which is to stay calm and get ready for the next pass."
Also named to the all-tournament team was Knytych, who had 52 assists and 16 digs today.
Piantadosi contributed 13 kills, while Blum had 11 and junior middle blocker Kristen Andre (Kelseyville, Calif. / Kelseyville H.S.) tallied 10 putaways to go with 10 blocks. Other dig leaders for the Lady Vols included sophomore libero Cynthia Buggs (Compton, Calif. / Long Beach Poly H.S.) with 22 and freshman outside hitter Yuliya Stoyanova (Sofia, Bulgaria / 81 SOU Victor Hugo H.S.), who tallied 15.
The Lady Vols next play at 4:30 p.m. on Friday versus Pittsburgh in Louisville, Ky. The NCAA Selection Show is at 6:45 p.m. next Sunday and can be viewed on ESPNews.

As a Mathematica user, I don't find this constructive. It would break
practically everything I've done in Mathematica in the last 15 years.
The notation 1.65 in Mathematica means, *by definition*, "an approximate
number within machine precision of 1.65". You may not like this
definition, but it's fundamental to the Mathematica language, and most
of us who *actually use* Mathematica find it perfectly natural. If the
number's got a "." in it, it's approximate. Period :-)
If you want an exact rational number, use 165/100. What's so hard about
that? The subset of rationals that can be expressed in decimal isn't
especially useful for exact calculation anyway.

We already have this. The notation just doesn't match your prejudices.

98 e38 - very slow upshift when cold
Short of taking to a shop, would anyone have an idea of next step to diagnose a hesitant upshift? Wondering to what extent I should just get used to this condition. Tranny is so hesitant to upshift when cold or first started, and usually takes a little heavy acceleration to force it to upshift. Seems to shift well thereafter or if already warm. Have already performed trans fluid/filter kit change. Car runs too pristine to let this annoyance continue. Thanks in advance!
If this is temperature related (only occurs when temps are cold)...then I'm not sure you have a problem. You may think that the high RPM on a cold engine and delayed shifting is a problem...but if it goes away if you force the car to go over 25 MPH or it goes a way on its own after a few minutes, or it never occurs when its warm...it could simply be the ENGINE WARM UP CYCLE:
This programing is one of the reasons BMW recommends that you DO NOT warm up the engine. This may get the motor oil up to temp, but does nothing about the transmission or rear differential...which both contains fluids that are still cold. The ENGINE WARM UP CYCLE takes the aforementioned systems into account, the raised RPM warms the engine faster, as well as the tranny and differential oils...all coming up to normal operating temps together instead of separately.

Thanks Q. All makes sense. Now that I better understand the system, there are two separate issues I'm noticing. Cold performance I can deal with, although I don't sense it is terminating above 25 mph. I went out this morning and "tricked" the system into Sport mode using the 30 sec throttle depress prior to start and was pleasantly surprised with the different shift feel and performance. I think what I'm sensing, and don't like, is the ecomony mode that this tranny constantly reverts to. After the 30 sec trick, it upshifts, downshifts and drives more like my 03 330; much more responsive feeling and less "lag" when feathering the throttle between decel-accel. I'm noticing the RPMs drop in two distinct steps during decel, first drop providing that correct decel feeling, the second down to almost idle, and what I'm feeling and I don't like. I'm just surprised my tranny has never "sensed" my driving and gone into Sport mode that I could tell.
Thanks for the response. Your former 7 looks great with the M wheels - my next upgrade! Any idea how to make the Sport mode the default?
Last edited by gheemer; 03-26-2013 at 05:00 PM.
Since our e38s have ATC (adaptive transmission control) plus the the selectable sport mode...the "trick" really isn't necessary...you have 2 options.
The "trick" is just fooling ATC into thinking you're driving aggressively, thus it selects the adaptive sport mode. But you can do this automatically by driving aggressively. The transmission adaptive mode is selected by the way the accelerator pedal is being used. Quick presses of the accelerator toward the floor suggests aggressive driving (which is what the "trick" is duplicating)...softer/gentler presses of the accelerator pedal causes the system to select either the extreme economy mode (aka "granny-toe") or normal presses will result in the economy mode.
The other thing you can do is select the Sport mode by moving the gear select lever to 4...you will see S 4 appear in the gear selection display on the instrument cluster. In this mode, 5th gear usually isn't achieved in normal driving situations, but it does achieve a more aggressive shift pattern. When you feel that RPM is too high and you find yourself traveling at a sustained speed...you can simply move the gear select lever back to "D".
(move gear shift lever to "4" to select the manual SPORT program)
Again, to get ATC to select adaptive sport mode over XE (extreme economy aka "granny-toe mode") or E (economy) mode...you have to drive aggressively and MASH that gas pedal. If you are performing the "trick"...sport mode may be selected briefly, but if you aren't an aggressive driver (by nature) and you drive normally or timidly...then ATC will eventually adapt to the way that the driver is using the accelerator pedal. Thus a waste of 30 seconds trying to get the car to perform differently than the way the car is being driven. One would be better off selecting the manual SPORT mode...at leat the transmission won't change to xe or e mode until the driver does so by moving the gear select lever back to "D".

Aggressive driving....
Thanks Q. Some trial and error today and I learned a few more subtle indications of what's going on. First, I bought this car from an older couple that probably did "granny toe" it routinely. I'll push the aggressive ticket again tomorrow by heavier acceleration. Although I don't hammer it like I do in my Z, don't think I could be accused of granny toe...
Two things I paid attention to and noticed today; slow upshift occurs well up into 3rd to 4th at ~ 43-45 mph. So that kills that 25 mph logic working correctly without there being another issue causing it. But, did also notice tranny sounds a little whiny/whirring in lowing gears. So I'm thinking I might need to further top off the fluid level. Might have cut it a little short at that filter change...
Other annoyance I'm now seeing more clearly is the rpm drop in what I think is extreme economy mode. At throttle release, rpms initially drop just a couple hundred rpm, then a second or so later, rpms drop down to idle. Creates two sensations of decel, then requires excessive spool up and a "lash" feeling during accel again. Yuck.
Will try heavy accel/kickdown tomorrow to confirm performance, then confirm fluid level/top off as required. Have seen and read recommended temp check and top off procedure. Hope that brings it back in line with how it seems it supposed to perform.
Thanks. Fly Navy!

What is said on the lower is not important, what is said on the barrel is what matters. Shoot either with confidence in the Colt.
I've read about the chamber leade difference and the pressures and that you're not supposed to shoot 5.56 in a gun labeled for 223 Rem but 223 Rem in a gun marked for 5.56 is o.k.. Assuming all that is correct, here's my question: I know someone who has a Colt AR-15 with the lower stamped "223 Remington." The box it came in is marked "223 Remington." The barrel is stamped "C MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 HBAR." So, can he safely shoot 5.56 ammo through it or should he stick to 223? Thank you.

The barrel is the only part that matters in that.
Thank you!

The UK Independence Party will remain "a bunch of enthusiastic amateurs", says outgoing chief executive Will Gilpin, as long as it is a vehicle for its leader's ego. Nigel Farage's response? To do the job himself.
It is tempting for those who dislike Ukip's policies – insofar as there are any – to welcome such disarray. Even more so given that Mr Farage has promised "fewer appearances" so that he can spend more time "directly overseeing" the party machine.
But there is a serious point here. All parties are "enthusiastic amateurs" – until they win elections. Then, their people are suddenly hailed as "professionals" and credited with mysterious powers. Ukip is in between the two. It is the recipient of the protest vote, while the Liberal Democrats are in government; and it won a slew of local council seats in May. But it does not yet have a single MP, despite the favourable Eastleigh by-election.
Much as The Independent may disagree with Ukip's politics, we agree with both Mr Gilpin and Mr Farage in pushing for greater professionalism. It is important for the health of democracy that the isolationist tendency in public opinion has articulate expression, and can therefore be tested in gladiatorial combat. When they are then duly rejected – as we hope that they will be – they will be genuinely laid to rest.Reuse content

We developed a set of 12 EST-microsatellite markers (EST-STRs) from Cycas rumphii Miq. and tested them on an ex situ collection of the endangered Cycas micronesica K.D. Hill. The number of alleles per locus in both species ranged from 1 to 15. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.000 to 0.842, and 0.000 to 0.883, respectively. All primers amplified in four additional Cycas species. These markers are the first genome-enabled tools for cycad population level studies, and are now available to inform conservation efforts and disentangle the biogeographic history of the genus.
