This Boy by The Beatles Songfacts
John Lennon wrote this song. One of his early compositions, it is seemingly simple, but very clever. The song contains only a few notes, but the space between the notes is filled by the arrangements. It's the same technique you hear in Liszt's "Liebestraum," the piano piece in Schumann's
and in Beethoven's "
Moonlight Sonata
This was the first Beatles composition that was commented on by a music critic. William Mann wrote in
The London Times
December 27, 1963, that the song had "pendiatonic clusters."
Suggestion credit
Johan Cavalli, who is a music historian in Stockholm, for above 2
George Harrison: "It was John (Lennon) trying to do Smokey (Robinson)."
The vocals were a three part harmony sung by Harrison, Lennon and McCartney.
The Beatles performed this on their second
Ed Sullivan Show
appearance - Feb 16, 1964. They played six songs on the show that night, and this provided a slow change of pace from the uptempo songs like "
She Loves You
" and "
I Want To Hold Your Hand
." The Beatles were just beginning their breakthrough in America and got a huge audience from the show.
This was used in Ringo's big scene in The Beatles movie
A Hard Day's Night
. The version used in the film is an instrumental renamed "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)," and without any harmony singing.
This was one of the first songs on which The Beatles used a 4-track recorder.

Artists to cover this song include Tom Baxter, David Bowie, Sean Lennon, George Martin, Delbert McClinton and The Nylons.

First song of theirs I ever heard. Was in grade school, standing in line waiting for my school bus. Some one had a transistor - they were playing and this song came on. Pretty tune. George said years later the guitar he was using he gave away.
Jennifur Sun - Ramona
One of the great songs to slow dance to at the Friday night school dance.
Don - Willoughby, Oh
This was the first Beatles song that made me realise that Lennon/McCartney were here to stay as songwriters.......and to think it was only a B side.
Roy - Slough, United Kingdom
This is an absolutely perfect song for a wonderfully loving cat I had the extreme pleasure of knowing from 1988-93, but who most unfortunately wasn't allowed to have any friends. All the love that cat had to give, she could have easily had a fan club all over Princeton. The only animal I've ever met who actually understood the phrase, "I love you." I'm no Einstein, Princeton notwithstanding, but it is humanly impossible to be as stupid as that cat's owner, or should I say warden, thinks I am. I don't know how she stayed so loving being stuck with someone so heartlessly unreasonable. Suffice to say, if you ever met him, you'd know why I'll take a heart over a brain any day. (Twice he sent the police after me. I guess that means that if I post a comment about a Police song, he'll send the Beatles after me.) And so I dedicate "This Boy" to a truly awesome cat who deserved a whole lot better.

Lennon's This Boy was a number one hit in Canada.
Lennon's I Should Have Known Better was a number one hit in Norway 1964.
Lennon's If I Fell was number one in Norway.
Lennon's Do You Want to Know a Secret was number one in US.
Lennon's Nowhere Man was number one in Australia and Canada 1966.
When the Beatles number one are listed, these songs are never listed, but all McCartney's. George Martin and McCartney never get PR to these songs.
Johan - Stockholm, Sweden
This is one of my favourite Beatles songs. I know it's not meant to be a love song but it has an old-school charm to it that I find youthful and romantic.
Leigh - Cape Town, South Africa
Easily one of their best 3 part harmonies. It actually had some pretty deep lyrics ,for it's time. Hell yeah John could really belt out a song. You could detect the Elvis and Chuck Berry influence. Saw a clip of this from Ed Sullivan on the George biography. Man those guys were confident and proficient at their music.
Meocyber - Alma, Co
I can't get this song out of my head! My friends were calling me The Mad Hatter today because I was going around singing it when I'm a chick!
Breanna - Henderson, Nv
`THIS BOY`, Again let me Point Out the `TRUE` Version, regarding this song,No 1-It was Written by John Lennon, No 2-The Song had `NOTHING` to do with `Pete Best`Being Ousted for `Ringo Starr`as stated by (Steve,Fenton, MO),No3- It was Written Around the Standard doo-wop Chord Changes that had fuelled Hundreds of Hit Records in the 50s,No4- It was a `THREE PART`Harmony,(but dubbed)to make it More Appealing, and if you Listen Very Carefuly, you will Hear It,also `George Harrison`on his 12 String Guitar, which had to be Overdubbed, to be Able To Keep Up The Backing, (try playing a 12 string, by itself) You wont get `Near To That Backing Sound`, thats on the Record,5-The Beatles Regretted Years Later, releasing it as a B-Side to `I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND`, as they Never Thought It Was Going To Be Such A Succesful Song,Its Beautiful,Thanks You
Samuel - Kilsyth, United Kingdom
On television shows where the Beatles were not allowed to lip-sync, John always had a tough time reaching the notes during the line "Oh My-ey-ey". You can see in his facial expression if he thought he reached it or flubbed it.
Ken - Louisville, Ky
God, I love this song. It's so beautiful, but it's bittersweet. The Beatles are the most talented boys ever, hands down. RIP John and Georgie - when are we ever going to stop missing you?
Lennix - Hamburg, Germany
I saw time ago a telefilm, were a girl band sing a female version of the song,they sung "This Girl", any one know what kind of band was, sorry my english Nicola, Roma, Italy
Nicola - Roma, Italy
When music students are studying harmony, they should just listen to this song over and over. And God, does John ever belt it out during the solo part!!!! Wow!!
Jeff - Austin, Tx
I love the middle of this song "This boy would be happy..." etc. Have you noticed that the Beatles were good at writing relatively soft songs where the singer begins to yell in the middle? Examples: This Boy, Yes it Is, I've Got a Feeling, Golden Slumbers, Paul McCartney's Maybe I'm Amazed, and others. It works for them to great effect though.
Forrest - Rochester, Mn
I agree with Rich from N.J. the vocal harmony is what makes this song stand out,not to mention a beautiful melody.Great rhythm guitars.A very strong ballad.
George - Belleville, Nj
How can someone say that the instrumental version
was better than the recorded version.The Vocals in "This Boy" were nothing short of a "10"

Rich - Spring Lake Hgts, Nj
I think The Smithereens did a decent job of covering this song and all the others on their tribute album "Meet The Smithereens"
Carl - St Louis, Mo
This song was on the Capitol record "Meet The Beatles" which was released in the USA but is not on the 1st or 2nd UK releases "With The Beatles" or "Please Please Me".
Carl - St Louis, Mo
Beautiful song. Love the middle eight vocals. John could sing with the most emotion of any singer of his time
John - Woburn, Ma
This Boy never refers to a she, although it's clearly implied. The "(Ringo's Theme)" part of the title is a clue. I think the song is a disquised adolescent dig at Pete Best. The lyrics are directed from Pete Best's point of view begging the Beatles to give him a second chance, that Ringo was bad for them. So Pete is actually "This Boy", Ringo is "That Boy", and the implied girl in the song is "The Beatles". But the song lyrics are written in enough of a general way to also pass as a love song, and that's the clever part of it.
Steve - Fenton, Mo
You do sound nice on your song John! This boy is a wonderful song with it's own charactar
Bram - Zoetermeer, Netherlands
I really like this song a lot. Franz Ferdinand had a song called "This Boy" but it was not a cover. But that is just a different story.
Alisa - Franklin, Wi
John's biological mother Julia, a bit of a party gal, encouraged him to play guitar while Aunt Mimi strongly discouraged him, once famously saying something like, "You'll never pay the bills playing the guitar, John!"
Fyodor - Denver, Co
OMG i love this song...me and my friend(we are idiots by the way) made up our own lyrics for this.....only the song was called fatboy
Kelly - Woodstock, Canada
when they filmed the scene of ringo walking along the river in the movie he was extremely hung over. he had been up all night partying when he had to be on the set really early in the morning. if you look at the expression on his face you can see he looks like he feels. I got this from an interview he did about doing the movie
Mike - Levittown, Ny
I think "This Boy (Ringo's theme)" is about Ringo in a way. But Ringo is not "this boy". Ringo is "that boy". "This boy" is a pleading Pete Best begging the Beatles to take him back. John could be quite cruel with his humor and rather than leaving poor Pete alone, was making fun of him in this song.
Steve - Fenton, Mo
The instrumental was better than the vocal version
Benjamin - Cheverly, Md
This song is also titled "This Boy (Ringo's Theme)" per his Hard Day's Night solo appearance.
Alan - City, Mi
John was raised by his Aunt (Mimi). She was the older sister of Julia, John's biological mother. John did start to build a relationship with his mother when he was 16 years of age. She was run over by a drunk driver when he was 18 years old.
The Great Wok - Longview, Tx
I didn't know that story about lennon's mother, its quite sad. Though i thought that john lived with his grandmother during his childhood and rarely saw his mum.
Natasha - Chico, Ca
This was John's first attempt at recording a ballad and it shows how well John, Paul, and George can harmonize. The song "This Boy" expresses John's feelings regarding the physical abuse that his mother, Julia, was receiving from her common-in-law husband, John Dykins. The song was most likely written shortly after Julia had visited her older sister Mimi one night, battered, bruised, and crying. Dykins had beaten the crap out of her again. Although young John Lennon was in the house at the time of Julia's visit and listened to her cries, he didn't come forward to acknowledge his presence or hers.
The Great Wok - Longview, Tx
i love the part of a hard day's night when they sing this song... i had never heard it before. and yes, if you check i've posted messages on a bunch of songs but i really do wanna talk to another teen who likes the beatles...
Liliana - Huntley, Il
"This Boy" was the B-side to "I Want To Hold Your Hand" only on the single released in the UK. It wasn't released on a single in the U.S.

This is a special Tail of DevotionSee All Tails of Devotion
Well, the shots, the de-worming medicine, and the spaying back in May are over. But I have noticed lasting effects. I feel better than ever!
Now that those awful worms are gone, I don't have to eat as much as I did before. I have even gained a few pounds and I'm rid of that "always hungry" look that my ribs had to them.
Because of the spaying and shots, I can go out in the yard with Mom when she sits out there to read. That's the best part of it all. I get to exercise in my own yard and eat grass and lie on the cool earth as much as I want to! As long as Mom or Dad are out there, anyway. Sometimes I play for hours around my oak tree, chasing butterflies and bugs. Mom is usually out there reading a book, so I'll hop up on the little table for some affection.
So the moral of the diary entry is: let the vet take care of you! I know it can seem scary, but in the end it's for the best!
I am NOT feeling my best today.
Yesterday, the family had me "altered". Yes, I've been spayed!
I immediately felt much better when Dad picked me up from the Humane Society, but I felt very woozy until late last night. You see, I thought my family had abandoned me! Here's what happened...
They took me for a long early morning drive in my crate after a long night with no food or water. Mom sneaked me some water, but Dad took it away again. =(
Next thing I knew, a strange but friendly lady had picked up my crate. She took me on the other side of the door while my family watched. What's going on here? I wondered. At this point I was becoming frightened, but Mom, Dad, and Violet were gone. I waited in my crate, what else could I do? Soon the friendly lady came and let me out. She spoke to me quietly, which calmed me, but then I felt a sharp prick - she was drugging me! I tried to protest, but quickly lost the will..suddenly I felt like a nice nap...
I don't remember anything else that happened at the Humane Society...
I awoke to my Dad's face at the front of my crate. I don't think I have ever been so glad to see him! He buckled my crate down with the seat belt and we drove for a long time again. He comforted me on the way, but I felt so woozy and anxious that I couldn't relax enough to sleep. I wasn't sure where we were headed, but I hoped it was home. It was just as we parked in front of our house that it dawned on me what had happened earlier in the day...I had been spayed. The evidence all supported it. The two shots and the pill I had at the vet last week. The extra friendliness of my family that day. The short stay at the Humane Society. The sedation. The small, achy incision in my belly - that was definitely NOT there before!
At first I wasn't happy at all with this realization, but the idea of it quickly grew on me. No more annoying toms serenading me from the fence! No more menstrual cycles with painful cramps! This was gonna be great! Once my incision heals, I will be able to go outside with Mom and Dad and Violet, with no fear of those nasty toms trying to mate with me. And I hear it's better for my health this way, if I'm not planning on having a litter. I've never been very interested in a having litter of my own, not with so many homeless kittens in the world already!
So things will be back to- and maybe even better than normal soon. For now I'm just resting and regaining my energy. I'd better take good care of my incision so I don't have to go back to the vet again soon. I've had enough of doctors for quite some time!

I agree with you completely...that is one thing that pisses me off to no end...I had a similar thing happen to me...I backed into the parking spot, went inside the local parts store, as I'm walking out this guy pulls right up beside me. so close I couldn't get in my car and I asked the guy to move his car so I could get in, he asked me why...so I told him that he pulled in frontwards, I backed in, he could get into his drivers side, I couldn't and I didn't want to dent my door or his while I was getting in...he told me that my car was old anyway, why would I care. I looked at him and said.."yes, my car is old, in fact it's older than you are and yet I gave you and your car enough respect to ask you to move, how about a little of the same courtesy."
I got the finger, to which I relied "I think your # 1 too," as the guy jumped in his car, he slammed it into reverse, moved over about 15 inches, got out and asked me if I was F@#*ing happy. I told him, "I'm always happy, it's just my nature, give it a try." Now why does that seem to piss these people off more than I am when they park that close to me?

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Merrimack forwards Ryan Flanigan (Rochester, NY) and Jesse Todd (Calgary, AB) have signed amateur tryout contracts with Hamilton of the American Hockey League.
The AHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadians, both could be in the lineup as early as Tuesday when the Bulldogs visit Rockford or Thursday at Milwaukee.
"Obviously, I wish I was still coaching both Ryan and Jesse," said head coach Mark Dennehy. "That would mean we were in the NCAAs. With that said, I am happy and proud of them both. They have given a lot to Merrimack hockey, and I'm glad they are getting the opportunity to pursue hockey as a profession."
Flanigan led Merrimack in scoring this season with 29 points and was a team-best +21, firing a team-high 108 shots. After tallying 16 points in his first two seasons, Flanigan registered 28 points in his final 19 games as a junior, leading all Hockey East players in postseason scoring while earning Hockey East All-Tournament honors. He finished with 34 points in 2010-11, as Merrimack went 16-4 when he recorded a point. As a senior, he had points in eight straight to open the season and added a career-high four assists in a 6-2 win over Maine. The only Hockey East Lowe's Senior Class finalist and a two-time HEA All-Academic honoree, Flanigan played most of his career along classmates Carter Madsen (Calgary, AB) and Elliott Sheen (Lethbridge, AB) before spending much of the second half of this season with Todd.
Playing in 138 career games at Merrimack, Todd totaled 39 goals and 98 points, finishing just two points shy of becoming the second Warrior in 11 years to reach the 100-point milestone. He led Merrimack this season with 12 goals, after ranking second in Hockey East last season in game-winning goals. Todd had two multi-goal games this season, including scoring a pair of power play tallies in a 6-2 win over Maine in January. A member of the winningest class in Merrimack's Division I history, Todd was named the Hockey East Player of the Week in November as a junior after tying and winning a game at Lowell with his second and third goals of the game, both in the final minutes. As a freshman, he led Merrimack with 23 points and tied for second among Hockey East freshmen with 21 points in league games.

I've completed a couple of jobs and everything went smoothly, i.e no disputes, no extra revisions etc. In fact all the jobs were completed well before the stated times. The process system runs smoothly with very less minimum fuss and hassle. However the 30% fee charge is a bit of downer really! I have raised the issue about the 30% charge with the Microlancer team. Waiting for a reply. I'm hoping it's going to be a positive response otherwise the only way round it would be to just increase the service fee!
Very impressed…good job!
InDesign is the best option for page layout. It's going to get pretty heavy and messy if it's done in Photoshop as Alexlasek has already said. However if you have already designed the pages in Photoshop then you can try this: Save your pages as JPEGs the go to Acrobat Reader > File > Combine Files into a Single PDF > then select all your JPEGs. Only problem doing this is that the PDF file will be huge! So try doing it in stages.

I think quite a few categories in the marketplaces have become overly saturated and I would agree that something 'different and unique' should only be accepted for those categories.

New Lille OSC Third Kit 2012-13
This season has seen a landmark change for Lille OSC with the club moving to the majestic 50,000 seater Grand Stade Lille Métropole stadium. To complement this move, Umbro have created the new Lille third kit for the 2012-13 season which is very much dedicated to the fans. Umbro wanted to market the special relationship that fans of "Les Dogues" have with the club and they did so in style by choosing 25 lucky fans from a pool of thousands of applicants to don the kit alongside current players in different landmarks around the city. Here are two photos from Umbro of some of the winners.
The new shirt, which will be worn by the club in European fixtures throughout the season consists of black and dark grey halves. The large iconic P from club sponsors Group Partouche and the Umbro insignia appear in what is a Flanders yellow, an appropriate tribute to the historic region in which Lille is located. The club crest appears in the same Flanders yellow in a monochromatic format. Umbro have made this shirt from a lightweight and breathable material with displaced shoulder seams to minimise abrasion and encourage free flowing movement.
In an age where many football clubs have been accused of protecting their own commercial interests ahead of focusing on what is important to the fans, Umbro have successfully done the opposite by putting the fans at the centre of what is important to the club, thus the kit has so much more meaning. I love the fact that this kit is designed for the fans with the fans in mind.I love the simplicity of the design and the Flanders yellow complements the black very nicely. This kit is highly fashionable as well, it is definitely a kit that can be worn away from football circles to make a statement of metropolitan identity.
I would give the kit a 9.6/10. This is without doubt Umbro's best kit for the season and best sums up their mantra of "Tailored by Umbro". This is simply a touch of grace!
What do you think of this kit? Do you like the marketing behind it? Do you think it was important that Umbro designed this with the fans in mind? Leave your comments below, or share your opinions on Facebook or Twitter.

Crabtree Amusements is by far my favorite carnival. I will get more information and pictures as the opportunities arise.
To the left, we have a picture of the lovely Queen "B" of the Crabtree Amusements Lucky Ducky.
Queen "B" is one of the many people who help keep the carnival wonderful. I even have email from other carnival-goers talking about how wonderful she was with the kids.
Crabtree Amusements now uses Tokens!
As of 2008, Crabtree Amusements now accepts tokens for rides and games. — No more waiting in line to buy tickets. No more handing a game person cash.
I have mixed feelings about the tokens. I don't 100% trust machines to give me the right amount, but the machines at Crabtree Amusements haven't shortchanged me yet. With token machines conveniently located around the lot, getting those last few tokens you need for a ride or to win a prize at a game is a much faster process.
The bad parts: Token machines don't provide change and they don't accept large bills. Be sure to have plenty of small bills with you. (Unless you don't mind having an extra token or two at the end of the day.) If I remember correctly, the machines I saw at Crabtree Amusements only accepted 1's, 5's, 10's, and 20's. No coins and no bills over $50.
Also, you need to know that tokens aren't for everything. I hear that Crabtree tried making them be for everything in Colorado in early 2009. (By everything I mean games, rides, and concessions – both those belonging to Crabtree and those run by the townspeople.) It didn't go so well. … If there is something you specifically want, make sure you know if it accepts cash or tokens.
Don't like change? You can still buy wristbands from people at the ticket booth. Wristbands are a great deal for people who ride a lot of rides!

I took (and passed) my KY CCDW training class today! As the youngest one in the group, 21 as of mid July, I aced the written test (exceedingly simple and open book at that) and I actually shot the smallest group of the whole class on the range. Thankfully I've had some good teachers along the way that taught me how to shoot and websites like this helped me learn and anticipate the material that would be covered in the class so thank you all :yup:
Now I have to wait 2 or 3 weeks for my training certificate to come in the mail and once that happens I have to take the proof of training to the sheriffs office and pay $60 in various fees plus $5 for them to take my picture and wait a maximum of 90 MORE days after that for the Kentucky State Police to conduct a background check. I guess I just have to be patient.
I've decided I'm going to purchase a Glock 23 as a carry weapon and I'll do that sometime in the next two weeks when I receive my academic bonus check. The range where I took the CCDW class today has new Gen 4 G23s on sale for $549.99 + tax and that includes a free hour of range time and a box of ammo. Then, much practice is in order before I'll trust myself to strap up.
On a side note, while everyone in my class did pass, there were a few people that seemed fairly clueless about firearms and the politics of self defense. In fact, there was one gentleman in my class who had never shot a handgun before, he used a range rental and the very kind range safety officer coached him through the shooting portion. I suppose I assumed that people would take more initiative than that to find out what the course entails and learn just what exactly they are getting themselves into by eventually strapping on a deadly weapon.
So there's my update, none of you have to be excited for me but I'm excited for me so I thought I'd share :tongue:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/2/2013 (1592 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Brandon Wheat Kings' goalie of the future gave them a pretty good present on Friday night.
Jordan Papirny made 27 saves to earn his first Western Hockey League victory as the Wheat Kings beat the Kootenay Ice 3-2 at Westman Place.
"It's a great feeling, especially with the guys like this and at home, too," said Papirny, a 16-year-old first-round pick from the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft who has been up from Midget AAA while Wheat Kings goalie Corbin Boes recovers from a knee injury. "I can't even put into words how it feels right now. The boys have been awesome and it was great."
Rookie Jayce Hawryluk, scratched by the team for Wednesday's game due to school-related issues, returned to the lineup and scored the winning goal on a power play with 4:04 left in the contest as the Wheat Kings (21-34-2-2) snapped a three-game losing streak and moved into a tie for 11th place in the Eastern Conference with the Regina Pats. They moved to within 10 points of the ninth-place Ice (27-29-2-0), with another home game coming up against Kootenay tonight.
"It feels great to contribute to the team and help them get the win," Hawryluk said. "Beating this team is huge for us. They're not too far ahead of us and every point we can get on them is huge."
After a quiet first period, the Ice opened the scoring in the second on some tough luck for the Wheat Kings. Brock Montgomery had the puck poked away from him as he tried to cut across the front of the Brandon net, but it found its way through a crowd and back onto his stick and he fired it into the open side of the net.
A trio of Brandon rookies got that back on a nice passing play as Colton Waltz sent the puck to pinching defence partner Kord Pankewicz, who set up Jack Palmer in the slot for the first goal by a Brandon forward in four games.
Captain Ryan Pulock snapped a shot home to give the Wheat Kings a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes, but the Ice pushed hard in the third period, getting the tying goal from Austin Vetterl 5:59 into the frame.
Brandon managed only two shots in the final period, but one of them was Hawryluk's winner. With Vetterl in the penalty box for holding, Tim McGauley's centring pass found Hawryluk at the side of the net and the 16-year-old banged home his team-leading 16th goal of the season.
"There were a few times that we were pushed and we pushed back and we found a way to win the game on our power play, which was really good to see," Wheat Kings head coach Dwayne Gylywoychuk said.
Kootenay continued to push after Hawryluk's goal, getting some chances on scrambles around the Brandon net and Papirny credited his communication with his blue-liners for helping him to hold the fort.
"You gotta stay composed, right?" said Papirny, who heads home to Edmonton today to rejoin his midget team. "The defence was awesome for me today. (Rene Hunter) was clearing pucks, (Eric Roy) was clearing pucks. All the D-men were great and talking to me."
His composure certainly impressed Hawryluk, who is looking forward to playing alongside Papirny again in the near future.
"Unreal, unreal," Hawryluk said. "He's a great goaltender and he's going to be good for us in the years to come and what can I say? He comes in, second game of the year for him, and he makes a couple huge saves. I don't know how many saves he made but he played an unreal game and he kept us in it."
ONE-TIMERS: Brandon was 1-for-2 on the power play, while Kootenay was 1-for-1 … Ice G Mackenzie Skapski made 23 saves … Hawryluk now has points in his last seven games (six goals, six assists) … Brandon played without D Tyler Yaworski, who wraps up his six-game suspension tonight, as well as Boes (knee, indefinite), RW/LW Richard Nejezchleb (hand, indefinite) and C Tyrel Seaman (concussion, indefinite) …Attendance was 4,239.

UPDATE 4-Defiant Iran plans big rise in nuclear enrichment
* Uranium spinning is heart of Iran-West standoff
* Tehran says responding to sanctions, military accusations
* France calls move "provocation", U.N. watchdog awaits word
(Adds detail on IAEA meeting, analyst, paragraphs 10-11)
By Robin Pomeroy and Mitra Amiri
TEHRAN, June 8 (Reuters) - Iran will shift its production of higher-grade uranium to an underground bunker and triple production capacity, it said on Wednesday in a defiant response to charges of trying to make atomic bombs.
"This year, under the supervision of the (International Atomic Energy) Agency, we will transfer 20 percent enrichment from the Natanz site to the Fordow site and we will increase the production capacity by three times," state broadcaster IRIB quoted the head of Iran's atomic energy agency, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, as telling journalists after a cabinet meeting.
Iran only disclosed the existence of Fordow, a mountain bunker near the clerical city of Qom, in September 2009, after Western intelligence had detected it and said it was evidence of covert nuclear work.
The decision to move and boost production drew immediate censure from the West, which has imposed a series of sanctions on Iran to try to force it to halt enrichment -- a process that can make weapons material if done to a much higher level. Continued...

I sent my TGI-imported PSL receiver to a machinist to have the scope rail milled.
He returned it without the work being done. Said the receiver would flex too much for the rail to be milled.
A dovetail file, or a triangular file with one side ground smooth will get the job done, albeit slowly.

From Exalted - Unofficial Wiki
Here is a page for creating a batch of Jutsus for the NarutoMod, which could do with finishing. I sincerly hope BrigandRansom comes back to help out :P Anyway, as with everything on the wiki, it's a collaborative project, so if you want to place a jutsu here, go ahead! I'll be starting out by converting the jutsus seen in the anime to format, but I'm lazeh and I really need other people to help out. (That and I have other projects too)
Please write out jutsus in the following format, essentially the standard method on the wiki.
Jutsu name
A translation if needed or desired.
Cost: # Chakra
Duration: Whatever
Type: Whatever
Minimum Chakra Whatever
Minimum Ability Whatever
Prerequisite Jutsus: Whatever.
Enter Jutsu fluff here.
Enter Jutsu Mechanics here.
•Most Jutsus are named "Whatever no jutsu" Up to you if you want to keep the "no jutsu" bit I suppose. We'll aim for standardisation after we have content. ^_^
•I interpret that Jutsus such as Kawarimi would be reflexives, while those that require chains of seals would be simple actions.
•Chakra 2 is genin-level, chakra 3 would be chuunin-level, 4 jounin-level, and 5 and 6 would be characters like Itachi and the Hokage respectively.
•In all honesty, if you want to write it as one large clump, go ahead. I just like separating fluff and mechanics.
Someone with a better command of japanese than I want to translate?
Leaping Technique
Cost: 2 Chakra
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Chakra 1
Minimum Ability Athletics 2
So simple it's not really considered a Jutsu, this technique is one of the first taught and is a staple among nearly all ninja.
no mechanics yet, going to compare to pre-existing similar charms and scale down
Kawarimi no Jutsu
Body Substitution Technique
Cost: 10 Chakra
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Chakra: 2
Minimum Dodge: 2
Prerequisite Jutsus: Probably something that I haven't written yet.
A common jutsu - used to quickly replace a body with a close by object. Creates confusing among the opponent(s) - creating a chance to escape, or return with a larger strike. Useful for avoiding attacks, and hiding from potential enemies.
Kawarimi no Jutsu is a perfect dodge, and may be activated after an opponent has made their attack roll. The shinobi instantly switches places with an object of roughly similar size (a small log is very common) that is within Chakra*6 yards.
Bunshin no Jutsu
Clone Technique
Cost: 2 Chakra per Clone
Duration: One scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Chakra: 2
Minimum Presence: 2
Prerequisite Jutsus: None
A jutsu that creates an illusionary clone of the user, in numbers of 1 or more. The Clone disappears after being struck with an attack, and can deal no damage. This jutsu is one of the basics, and required to pass the Shinobi Academy.
Each clone created is an exact replica of the shinobi, only with no abilities and one Health Level. They are incapable of dealing any damage, and serve only as a distraction or decoy. If created in combat, they act on the same initiative count as the shinobi, and the ST should make sure that, unless they focus and deduce it, not to allow players to know who the real one is.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu; Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Both forms are identical)
Shadow Clone Technique; Water Clone Technique
Cost: 5 Chakra per Clone
Duration: One scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Chakra: 4
Minimum Unknown: ?
Prerequisite Jutsus: Bunshin no Jutsu (Presence), Something else
This technique creates a number of actual clones of the shinobi, made out of either Shadow (Kage), or Water (Mizu). other variants of this jutsu may exist, as practiced by shinobi of other villiages. The clones look identical to teh shinobi, and possess all of his abilities. They are still rather weak, and will disappear after one blow.
Each clone created is an exact replica of the shinobi, as with Bunshin no Jutsu, however, these have the shinobi's full Ability and Attribute values, and know all of his Jutsus. The clones still have only one Health Level, and the same procedure applies when using them in combat. The clones may use Jutsus, but they all draw upon the one Chakra pool of the shinobi.
Suna Bunshin no Jutsu
Sand Clone Technique
Cost: 5 Chakra
Duration: One scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Chakra: 4
Minimum Unknown: ?
Prerequisite Jutsus: Bunshin no Jutsu (Presence), Something else
This jutsu is similar to the clone techniques employed by other villiages, but differs in a fundamental way: Rather than creating multiple weak clones, it creates a single strong one of sand. It looks like the shinobi, but is clearly created from sand, and therefore does not function well as a decoy.
It has all the shinobi's Abilities, Attributes and Jutsus, as well as a full complement of the number of Health Levels the shinobi has when the clone was formed. It acts on the shinobi's initiative, as with all clone techniques.
Comments and suggestions
It's become clear to me that there's a major problem in determining exactly where a given Jutsu should fit, and that perhaps the jutsus should -not- in fact be bound to Abilities. For example, where would the following go?
- Katon Housenka (Fire Element: Mythical Fire Flower)
- Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Element: Grand Fireball Technique)
- Katon Karyuu Endan (Fire Element: Fire Dragon Flame Blast)
- Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu (Fire Element: Dragon Fire Technique)
Each of these is a fireball jutsu, each slightly different. Archery? Hmmm.
All Jutsus can be divided up into Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu. Here at NarutoMod, we have added Kenjutsu and Dojutsu, which corresponds well to Exalted's 5-part system, but may not work so well under the circumstances.
- Personally, I'd stick these under "Occult", as both Sarutobi and the Uchiha clan are the ones who are seen using these. Hmm... Maybe some Bloodlines also have bonuses to certain jutsu trees along with the Bloodline Tree? Some bloodlines may just have bonuses to existing trees and no bloodline ability at all. I'll work out a "Bloodline Creation System".
C'mon. Add stuff. I don't wanna carry this entire project myself. ^_^ - Trithne
A bit added, and thanks for what you've done so far. It's been a while since I've watched much Naruto, but I'm now re-watching what I have. ~ BrigandRansom

As of 2008, over 3,600 adult day care centers were serving 150,000 seniors on a daily basis. Individuals who want to open a senior day care businesses can apply for grants from federal government agencies, as well as regional and national non-profit organizations, to cover the start-up costs. Grants finance building construction and renovation projects, as well as equipment and supply purchases. Funds are also available to support food services for seniors in day care centers.
Construction and Renovation Grants
Federal grants are available for financing the construction and renovation of adult day care facilities in urban and rural areas. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funds the Community Development Block Grant program. These grants fund the construction and rehabilitation of adult day care and other health care and community facilities in cities and counties with more than 50,000 and 200,000 residents, respectively. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, sponsors the Community Facilities Grant Program. Grants are awarded to counties, towns and districts with less than 20,000 residents to build senior day care centers and equipment necessary to run the operations.
Food Services Grants
Senior day care operators can apply for grants to help with providing healthy meals. The Special Programs for the Aging, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services awards grants covering the expenses of purchasing and providing nutritious meals to the elderly in day care and other congregate settings. The USDA also sponsors a grant program called the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which provides healthy meals and snacks to adults while they're in day care.
Nonprofit Grants
National and regional grants are also available from nonprofit organizations to start senior day care center businesses. The Kresge Foundation awards grants over $300,000 on for major capital projects such as facility construction and renovation and equipment purchases. These are challenge grants, which means applicants are required to raise capital from other sources to match the foundation. In North Carolina, the The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust organization provides grants funding capital projects and equipment purchases for non-profit senior day care centers in rural areas throughout the state.
Health Equipment Grants
Grants from regional and national programs are available to owners of senior day care centers for the purchasing of medical equipment for their facilities. For example, the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation awards grants to senior day care centers and other health care-related facilities in Utah to purchase equipment for their operations. The National Emergency Medical Association awards grants on a national scale for the purchase of health care equipment.

Suggestions for companies to buy a turbo 400 from
I have an '85 chevy c-10. I just built a 383 or it and looking to buy a turbo 400 trans. Any suggestions on where to purchase. I Would like to keep it close to the $1500 range if applicable.
Buy a core and have a local shop rebuild it for you. That way if there are any problems, you don't need to pay shipping back and forth to get them resolved.
Ditto to the above... I picked up a core from a '71 motor home for $125.... Had a friend rebuild it using a Jakes full race kit.<$400 for kit. He went through it for 350. That adds up to $875 for a STOUT trans I will never break. It is going behind a 509 BBC with a Gear Vendors.
I just checked Jakes site and his prices have gone up a bit. $450 for the Stage II TH400 kit. Still a cheap way to go for the quality of the parts AND knowing what you are getting...
Kits and Components
There is also a lot of info here if you look around in the tech pages.
You will want to spend good money on a convertor also. Talk to a manufacturer, They will need ALL of your vehicle specs.
P.S. I have a beautiful smooth drum if you need it. Jakes is getting 120 for them. I will sell mine for 90 + shipping...
Coan makes a darn good transmission.

William Tallman, far right in photo, played prosecutor Hamilton Burger on TV's "Perry Mason" and, while dying of lung cancer, made anti-smoking TV commercials in the 1060s. In a marketing coup, Jane Russell later lent her name to a so-called 18-hour bra. Who knew?

Uh . . . make that the 1960s

Critter Corner : Cat Grooming
Deb D'Andrea, Nederland. Groom a cat, you say? Cats don't require grooming, one replies. But au contraire, cats do!
Yes, cats groom themselves by licking and washing each and every part clean, but many require further grooming to help keep dander, skin conditions and parasites at bay. Most cats I know enjoy a light brushing or combing, pushing into me as I brush them.
As with dogs, there are various cat coat lengths which require different methods of brushing or combing. Longhair cats may require a daily brushing, while shorthair cats may only require once a week or once a month.
The action of brushing will help remove loose or dead hair, and any fur knots. With longhair cats you can use a comb or soft wire brush, and with short hair cats I prefer the soft bristle brushes. If working through a hair knot, be gentle and slowly try to work through the knot with your last resort being to cut the knot out.
If your cat is stressed about the grooming session, minimize grooming time to 5 minutes and gradually work up in time as they become accustomed to being groomed. You can give them lots of praise and treats during each session to help them enjoy it more and make it a positive experience.
As most of us know, several cats do not enjoy getting a bath. If your cat is one of these cats and they need a bath, I'd recommend taking them to a groomer to bathe them. My cats used to love taking baths, something I worked on with them from when they were kittens. A bath is not something generally necessary unless they get into something really stinky or parasites appear. Fleas were always a pain back east; fortunately they aren't a big issue here.
Depending upon how active your cat is, you may or may not need to clip their nails. If you are at all not comfortable doing this, please take them to the groomer or veterinary to have them do this. The last thing you want to do is clip them too short! If your cat is happy to have their nails done, cool. You can gently squeeze each toe to access the claw and with clippers nip the tips.
Till next time! Deb D'Andrea, founder of 4TheLuvOfDogz, provides Petz Nanny Services, Canine Massage, and coming soon, Canine Agility. 4TheLuvOfDogz home-made dog treats are sold at local stores and K9Birthday Cakes are available directly from Deb. 4TheLuvOfDogz cares for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and horses; but no children.

Brenden Nel - SuperSport
According to the SuperSport website, there was some confusion at the team announcement on Tuesday, especially after coach Frans Ludeke said he believed being an away game, the team would use their away strip, but the Blue Bulls company moved quickly to confirm that it was actually the blue strip and not the controversial away pink strip that would be worn.
The Bulls have come under fire from both their fans and rugby supporters for allowing sponsors PUMA to change their traditional blue kit, and then ludicrously trying to sell it as a purple jersey when the overwhelming colour is bright pink.
The team first played in the bright pink strip at Newlands before their overseas tour, as they unveiled the strip against the Stormers and also used it for the return match at Loftus at the beginning of June, raising over R500 000 for Cansa in the process.
But their record in the strip isn't great, losing four out of their six matches in the pink strip and whatever the team management have tried to sidestep the issue, it is hard to miss for both Bulls and other rugby fans alike.
No decision has yet been taken about the away strip, which will probably first be debated at the end of the season when the annual review is done, but it has been a commercial success with reports that the pink jersey was outselling the blue jersey five to one at one point.
Still, now that the Bulls are in the business end of the competition, failing a clash of jerseys in a playoff game, they are likely to stick to the blue jersey until their campaign ends this year.

Posted by David Cooperstein on October 10, 2013
Recently I have invested a fair amount of time with CMOs and agency executives, working through the challenges that marketing faces, especially as shiny new objects like social and mobile develop some patina and digital gets categorized as a mature channel. In a past post on Forbes I called the era we now live in a "post-digital" world for marketers, because the strategies that matter most are those that don't start with the channel (i.e. mobile-first or digital-first). Marketers need to put themselves in their customers' seat and define the marketing activities they take on from a customer-first perspective.
Two years ago, Josh Bernoff and I answered the question of where competitive success would come from in the future. In that research, we defined the era we now live in, the age of the customer (see report, client access required). We just updated that report. Since we expect that era to continue for the next 20 years, you need to know what has changed. The age of the customer is defined by a number of undeniable trends:

History Events
|1256 - 1842
|The Post-Alamut Period - 1256-1842AD
The Post-Alamut period in Ismaili history discloses itself with the Imamate of Mowlana Shamsiddeen Muhammed and is punctuated by the Imamate of Mowlana Shah Khalilillahi Aly.
|1256 - 1310
|Imamate of Imam Shamsiddeen Muhammed - 1256-1310AD
The Imamate of Imam Shamsiddeen Muhammed marks the beginning of the second period of taqiya in Ismaili history. The great Ismaili saint, Shams Tabriz, who was also the uncle of the Imam, played a vital role in the propagation of the faith despite the harsh conditions. He is well known due to the fact that one of his loyal disciples was the mystical poet Jalaluddin Rumi. The succession of Pirs during this time was Pir Salahuddin, followed by his son Sayyid Shamsuddin, more commonly known as Pir Shams. The Imam, when passing away, appointed his son Qassim Shah as his successor (Aziz, 1974).
|1255 - 1256
|Imamate of Imam Ruknuddin Khairshah - 1255-1256AD
Imam Ruknuddin Khairshah reigned as Imam of the Time for a period of one to two years before being murdered by the Mongols. This event marks the end of the Alamut period. The Mongols not only managed to destroy the entire Ismaili State (the scientific instruments, observatories, libraries, and thousands of houses and buildings), but were also responsible for the death of 80,000 Ismailis (Aziz, 1974).
|Birth of Imam Shamsiddeen Muhammed - 1250AD
Mowlana Shamsiddeen Muhammed was born in Lamasar. As his only son, he was sent away by his father during the Mongol invasion to ensure his safety. He was destined to succeed his father at the age of eight years.
|Birth of Imam Ruknuddin Khairshah - 1228AD
Imam Ruknuddin Khairshah's Imamate would mark the last period of glory of the Ismaili state in Alamut. Thereafter, and until the rise of the lineage of the Aga Khans, there appears in Ismaili history a stretch of obscurity and uncertainty in terms of historic detail, most likely related to the practice of taqiya by the Imams and the Ismaili community. Nevertheless, despite the ambiguity, there remained the tradition of an unbroken chain of succession of one Imam after another by rule of nass (Sadik Ali, 1997).
|1221 - 1255
|Imamate of Imam Alauddin Muhammed - 1221-1255AD
Notable figures that lived during the rule of Imam Alaiddeen Muhammed include Jalaluddin Rumi, Ibn al-Arabi, and Naseeruddin Tusi, who served as the Prime Minister of the Alamut State (Aziz, 1974). Threatened by the Mongol empire, the Imam of the Time sent a message of peace to these imminent invaders, which was promptly dismissed by them in great contempt (Daftary & Hirji, 2008). Despite these uncertain times, due to the Imam's patronage of science and learning, intellectual activity flourished immensely, and attracted many scholars from outside the Fort of Alamut (Sadik Ali, 1997).
|Birth of Imam Alauddin Muhammed - 1213AD
Mowlana Imam Alaiddeen Muhammed was born in 1212AD and became the Imam of the Time at the age of 9 years.
|1210 - 1221
|Imamate of Imam Jalaluddin Hassan - 1210-1221AD
The orthodox Muslims had responded to the doctrine of qiyama by propagating that the Ismailis had violated the Islamic Shariah. In order to avoid secular marginalization and subsequently suffer from isolation and economic hardship, Imam Jalaluddin Hassan restricted his followers in preaching the doctrine of qiyama and encouraged them instead to adopt such esoteric practices in solitude, as was common with many Sufi traditions in the past.
|Birth of Imam Jalaluddin Hassan - 1186AD
Imam Jalaluddin Hassan was born in Lamasar in the year 1185AD. He would play a significant role in articulating the concept of qiyama, first declared by his grandfather Mowlana Ala Zikrihis Salaam in 1164AD.
|1166 - 1210
|Imamate of Imam Ala Muhammed - 1166-1210AD
The Imamate of Imam Ala Muhammed spanned a period of about 44 years - a span of time that saw the succession of three Pirs one after the other, namely, Pir Salaamuddin, followed by Sayyid Solehdin alias Sayyid Muhammed Noorbaksh, followed by Pir Salaahuddin. The Imam died of poisoning and was buried in Alamut in 1210AD.
|1163 - 1166
|Imamate of Imam Ala Zikrihis Salaam - 1163-1166AD
Born in Alamut, Mowlana Imam Ala Zikrihis Salaam is known to have declared the Yaum el-Qiyama or Day of Resurrection on the 19th of Ramazan, 559AH (10th of August, 1164). On the day, he made the following farman to the Jamat: "I am your Imam-e-Zaman, I am Hasan bin Qahir bin Mohtadi bin Hadi bin Nizar bin Mustansir Billah. The line of our succession will continue till the end of this world. I am pleased with your obedience and fealty. You have made in the past great sacrifices, which I accept and bless you. Today I have explained to you the Law (Shariat) and its meaning.
|1158 - 1163
|Imamate of Imam Qahir - 1158-1163AD
During the reign of Imam Qahir, the Imam once again began to govern both religious and temporal powers, the latter of which had been entrusted hitherto in the hands of an appointed prime minister or dai during the period of Dawri Satr. In taking over temporal rule from Muhammed bin Kaya, the third territorial ruler and hujjat at Alamut - the first two having been Hassan bin Sabbah and Kiya Buzrug Ummid, respectively - Imam Qahir appointed Muhammed as his vizier and the latter served as such until his death in 1162.
|Birth of Imam Ala Muhammed - 1155AD
Born in the fortress of Lamasar, Mowlana Ala Muhammed would grow up to prove himself a great writer in philosophy and jurisprudence.
|Birth of Imam Ala Zikrihis Salaam - 1152AD
The 23rd Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims, Imam Ala Zikrihis Salaam, was born in Alamut in the year 1152AD.
|1138 - 1157
|Imamate of Imam Mohtadi - 1138-1157AD
The reign of Imam Mohtadi was comparatively peaceful and prosperous. New castles were built and territories were expanded. The Imam passed away in Alamut where he was buried, and was succeeded by his son Qahir.
|Birth of Imam Qahir - 1121AD
Born in Alamut, Imam Qahir's full name was al-Qahir bi Quowatullah. Physically well-built and handsome, he took an early interest in the governing of affairs at Alamut and succeeded to the Throne of Imamate when he was in his late thirties.
|Birth of Imam Mohtadi - 1106AD
Imam Mohtadi, born in the fortress of Lamasar, was the first Ismaili Imam to have taken birth in Iran.
|1097 - 1138
|Imamate of Imam Hadi - 1097-1138AD
Imam Hadi was 21 years of age when he succeeded to the Throne of Imamate. Escaping imprisonment by his uncle Caliph Mustali, Imam Hadi established a new Ismaili kingdom at Alamut. Founded by Hassan bin Sabbah during the Imamate of Imam Mustansir Billah, the new state of Alamut was to last for 170 years, until the Imamate of Imam Ruknuddin Khairshah. During the reign of Imam Hadi, Ismailism spread from the Caspian to the Mediterranean Sea, as well as to Central Asia and India.
|1097 - 1256
|Alamut Period - A New Ismaili Rule - 1097-1256
Founded by Hassan bin Sabbah in the year 1090, the fort of Alamut is situated in the north-west of Tehran, Iran. This glorious period in Ismaili history began with the arrival of Imam Hadi in 1097 and lasted for 170 years, until the death of Imam Rukniddin Khairshah. The latter had reigned for only one year before being murdered by the Mongols in the year 1256. The Alamut period in Ismaili history marks a time when the community made great strides in education, the sciences, economics, politics, as well as the religious sciences.

Scision dans le mouvement Ismaelien: naissance de la secte Bohra a la mort de l'Imam mustansir Billah I
|1094 - 1097
|Imamate of Imam Nizar - 1094-1097AD
Al-Mustali, the younger half-brother of Imam Nizar, in a wave of political ambitions of perverse administrators of the state, would himself come to be the leader of the seceding sect of the Ismailis, the Bohras. In coming to terms with the reality of this situation, Imam Nizar, upon the death of his father Imam Mustansir Billah, left Cairo for Alexandria where he found the support and allegiance of both the governor and the qadi of Alexandria.
|Birth of Imam Hadi - 1069AD
Mowlana Imam Hadi, the 20th Imam of the Ismailis, was born in Cairo in the year 462AH (1069AD) during the Imamat of his grandfather Imam Mustansir Billah.

|Imamate of Imam Mustansir Billah - 1036-1094AD
During his reign, political unrest amidst a massive earthquake contributed to much of the insecurity and economic instability throughout the Fatimid territory. Notable personalities who lived during this Imam's rule include among others Hassan bin Sabbah, Nasir Khusraw, and Omar Khayyam. Pir Muhammed Shah, more commonly known as Pir Satgur Noor, was one of the Hujjatal Pirs at this time in the lineage of pirs. At the death of Imam Mustansir Billah, a split took place among the Ismailis, with the seceders, who would come to be known as the Bohras, following Caliph Mustali.
|Birth of Imam Mustansir Billah - 1029AD
Imam Mustansir Billah was born on the 17th of Jama'di-el Thani, 420 AH, 1029AD, in Cairo. He would become the eighth Fatimid Caliph at the early age of seven years, and reign as Imam and Caliph for a period of more than 60 years.

Kyodo News President Satoshi Ishikawa has announced his intention to step down to take responsibility for the recent scandal over the alleged inappropriate conduct involving Satoshi Kondo, the former personnel affairs division chief of the major news agency.
Along with Ishikawa, 68, who will leave with one year still left in his term, Senior Executive Director Shuichi Ito, 60, also announced Thursday that he will step down.
Their successors will be selected at a regular general meeting of members of the incorporated association on June 20.
A weekly magazine reported last month that Kondo took a female job-hunting student to a hotel.
On May 20, Kyodo News dismissed Kondo and decided to cut Ishikawa's salary for failing to fulfill his oversight responsibility. Four other senior officials were punished as well.
Ishikawa said Thursday that he has found it necessary to defuse the unrest and turmoil in the news agency early and revamp its management.

Worked like a champ ,with no adheasion probs......matching the paint was a whole different story,It's called brite silver and I could blend it into the 1/4's,I started off with Omini plus and it was just a tad dark so I tried some more fine aluminun and jut couldnt get the color light enough so I went back to the store and got the global base found the proper variable through the color cards ,went back and painted it again and it looked great ....until I put it on and it was just as far off as the omini plus was...so off to the dupont store I went for the chroma base which ended up also being better , still a bit dark but we couldnt get it any lighter ...so out the door it went...All the colors were blendable and would have worked well if blended but when your told paint the cover only ,you paint the cover only because the disscustomer is always right and knows whats best...funny thing is from the back it looks dead on to the deck, its only from the sides it looks off...A frustrating week but it would have been much ,much worse if I hadnt called Barry first....
Another tip I was told by a local PPG rep for bumper covers that are NOT factory primed. Let them set in the full sun for at least a day, 2 is better OR bake at 140. Then follow the same routine as DBM just said .
Mitmak, Tom M. at Professional Finishes is a great local asset, ever talk with him?
