[REACTION]The U.S. players talked about the nightmarish first four minutes and the plays that led to Norway's two goals -- a difficult cross from the left and Kate Markgraf's horrendous backpass ...
U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage
On the match:
"My glass is always half full. For us, it is a new experience to lose a game and the fact we tried to turn around and create some chances in the second half is positive. I'm happy that this is the first game and not the last. We still have two more games to go. We will take the good part of the second half going forward to play against Japan and New Zealand."
On the match and the USA's effort in the second half:
"This was a crazy game with us giving up two goals at the beginning of the game, but then we bounced back. In the second half, we made some tactical changes, tried three in the back, and tried certain things. The effort of the players is the reason we will be successful and we still have a chance to win a gold medal."
On looking forward to the next match:
"We have a choice right now. You can imagine (what it can do to a team) to give up two early goals playing in your first game. What is very important is to keep our style and that is something we as coaches will emphasize. We can look at bad things, and we will adjust, but also look at good parts in the game where we created chances and where we kept possession and played pretty good soccer. That is the choice that we have and we will look at positive things."
On the two quick goals:
"The first goal is some sort of competition in the air, and of course, I would love to see that we could deal with that situation better. But that's good attacking by Norway. The second goal we gave away the ball. You can call it mistakes, but we bounced back from that and created many chances."
U.S. defender Christie Rampone
On the match:
"We had a lot of great attacking moments in the second half, but I think our timing was just a little bit off. Luck plays a little bit of a factor, but I'd rather see us have some better timing and bring that to the second game so that some of those crosses will be in the back of the net."
"Norway are great competitors and we have a lot of respect for them. It was just unfortunate that they got two early goals on us. Our team bounced back and there were some good moments. We just have to take the positives and lucky for us, it was the first game."
On the team's mood after the match:
"Our heads are up. We have to take away the positives from that game and move on. We can't dwell on this game. We have the next game against Japan and that's what we have to look forward to. I have confidence in this team and know we'll bounce back."
U.S. midfielder Shannon Boxx
On the match:
"It was bad that we gave up two goals early, but the rest of the game we were fighting and pushing to get those two goals back. We have to go back and see the good things that we did, because I think we did some good things and had some opportunities, we just didn't finish them."
On giving up two early goals:
"You can't do that in this tournament. We came out a bit flat and we've learned from that. We have two more games and we're going to come out a lot stronger."
On the leadership it will take to make the quarterfinals:
"It comes from the veterans that have been in the Olympics before and have seen it takes more than just one game. We've seen you can lose just one game and come back and move on. We've told everybody that ... we are going to come back stronger against Japan and we know we have to win."
U.S. midfielder Heather O'Reilly
On the match:
"At the start of the game, we made a couple of mistakes and they capitalized. I think that we mentally came back from a 2-0 deficit really strong and confident. We kept our heads the entire game and had great leadership the entire game. It's tough when you go down two goals in the first couple of minutes. I think it was nerves a little bit."
On the two early goals:
"The first goal was a difficult cross. You can tell if a cross is good if it makes a goalkeeper guess to come out or not and that's exactly what that cross was. It's just unfortunate with Hope Solo and Lori Chalupny colliding like that. Really, it was two unfortunate errors on our part and we showed some bravery and courage to push on."
U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo
On the first goal:
"That's the life of a goalkeeper. It's about decisions. It was a pretty well-placed ball where I was forced to make a decision, come or go. I came and she beat me to it."
On bouncing back against Japan:
"There were a lot of nerves. It was our first Olympic game, but we had some glimpses of brilliance. You could see the potential out there. I think we are going to come back stronger. I'm not just saying that to say it. You felt the energy out there after the game. No one hung their heads. I think we're getting this one out of the way. The nerves will be gone now."
U.S. defender Kate Markgraf:
On bouncing back in the next two matches:
"Norway lost in the first game in 2000 and came back and won in the finals. That's the great thing about the Olympics. You always have second chances in the round-robin play. We just have to take care of business and have great games against Japan and New Zealand. We believe we can do it."
On the two early goals:
"The first goal they played a good ball in unfortunately it didn't bounce our way. The second goal was totally my fault. I didn't play the ball back hard enough to Hope (Solo) and I didn't see the player either. So, it was totally an error that didn't need to happen and didn't help our situation as we were already a goal down."
On the competition getting tougher in the Olympics:
"Once you hit the Olympics, friendlies don't matter. People turn up their game a notch and take advantage of mistakes and that's exactly what they did. We had two mistakes and they capitalized."

Hailed by critics as an American masterpiece, David McCullough's sweeping biography of Harry S. Truman captured the heart of the nation. The life and times of the thirty-third President of the United States, Truman provides a deeply moving look at an extraordinary, singular American.
From Truman's small-town, turn-of-the-century boyhood and his transforming experience in the face of war in 1918, to his political beginnings in the powerful Pendergast machine and his rapid rise to prominence in the U.S. Senate, McCullough shows a man of uncommon vitality and strength of character. Here too is a telling account of Truman's momentous decision to use the atomic bomb and the weighty responsibilities that he was forced to confront on the dawning of a new age.
Distinguished historian and Pulitzer-Prize-winning author David McCullough tells one of the greatest American stories in this stirring audio adaptation of "Truman" -- a compelling, classic portrait of a life that shaped history.
"Superbly researched and carried forward by McCullough's narrative drive, Truman is endlessly readable. The Harry we were all wild about is re-created exactly as Harry was--feisty, preposterous, decisive, tireless, outrageous, but always honorable, always courageous, always guided by his inner gyroscope of conscience and character." --William Manchester, author of "William Spencer Churchill: The Last Lion "

Here's what she told me: "Mommy, I'm so sad cause Nay said I too small to play wif her. But I NOT too small."
And my heart broke into a million pieces. Because all this time, I have been hoping I could shield Jayci somehow from the pain of being left out, of feeling unwanted. And I KNOW that's not reasonable. Or possible. But I was bullied pretty badly when I was in elementary school, and my heart still feels raw when I think of how many lies I believed (and still believe) about who I am and what I'm worth.
That's why, in that moment, I felt the pressure building in my chest: how would I respond? How could I show Jayci her worth and reassure her? But instead, I choked. One of her other little friends arrived right then, and she went to happily play with him.
Now I realize that really this is NOT that big of a deal. Jayci is not scarred for life thinking she's too little and no one will ever want to play with her. She's two years old, and she is mostly pretty confident in who she is.
But isn't it true that the hardest part of parenting is the way it exposes all our own insecurities? The most beautiful and redemptive parts of parenting are also the most vulnerable and painful ones. Looking at all my shortcomings, flaws, and fears, and praying furiously that somehow Jayci might turn out differently than I did. That she might look at herself through God's eyes and not the world's.
There are so many things I hope for Jayci - I look at her and see this beautiful, wonderful little girl with so much potential. A girl who might be shy, but has a heart of gold. Who is smart, and funny, and silly, and loves to help others . . . And more than anything else I want for her to look in the mirror and see the same thing. For her to be secure in her identity as the child of a King. As a princess who is loved and pursued, regardless of whether or not anyone wants to play with her, or anyone asks her to prom.
So Long, Insecurity and in the midst of writing this post, I stumbled onto this passage. And Beth says is so much better than I ever could:
"That, beloved, is our challenge. To let the healthy, utterly whole, and completely secure part of us increasingly overtake our earthen vessels until it drives our every emotion, reaction and relationship. When we allow God's truth to eclipse every false positive and let our eyes spring open to the treasure we have, there in His glorious reflection we'll also see the treasure we are. And the beauty of the Lord our God will be upon us (Psalm 90:17, NKJV)."
So as I parent, and as I stumble again and again, I will be praying this truth over both Jayci and myself - that we will KNOW that we are enough and that we will see the treasure we ARE each and every day.

DALLAS — Will cozy Cowboys Stadium be dome-sweet-dome for the Green Bay Packers' quick-strike aerial offense in Super Bowl XLV?
The retractable roof of Cowboys Stadium will be sealed, affording ideal temperatures, no wind and a fast-track surface that should favor the Packers' fifth-ranked passing attack.
Two weeks ago inside the Georgia Dome, the Packers shocked the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons by shredding the defense for 48 points and 336 passing yards, including three touchdown passes by Aaron Rodgers.
In 12 career indoor starts, Rodgers has thrown for 25 TDs with six interceptions. His 111.5 indoor passer rating since 2008 is No. 1 in the league.
"You can't do anything but smile" at playing indoors, said Pro Bowl wide receiver Greg Jennings, one of five Packers who caught at least 40 balls.
"I think all perimeter players like to play in domes," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Sunday in Green Bay. "I know Aaron likes to throw indoors."
McCarthy loves it: Since he arrived in 2006, Green Bay is 11-6 indoors (.647) and has averaged 30.6 points a game, a touchdown better than outdoors.
Former Super Bowl quarterback Rich Gannon, a CBS analyst, says the Packers will test the Steelers' 12th-ranked pass defense, which permitted 15 TDs.
In the NFC championship game at the Chicago Bears, Rodgers quickly attacked the secondary, but the passing offense eventually bogged down.
"I think (McCarthy) got a little more conservative when his quarterback's footwork got a little shaky," Gannon said. "Playing inside at Dallas, with a fast track and that group (of receivers), I think they will be aggressive.

It is 1988. Ben Capron is 17 years old. He is sleeping in his broken down Volvo station wagon. In a junkyard. Surrounded by angry pitbulls. The next morning Capron's beloved car would be turned into a pile of metal scrap. This is a high point in Capron's life and a turning point in mountain biking.
At an age when most kids are busy battling acne, Capron was obsessed with improving cantilever brakes, which looked like they might stop your bike, but were essentially just seatstay ornaments. To that end, the teenager had created a more powerful cantilever brake he called the Decelerator and which he'd been trying to deliver to the editors of Mountain Bike Action, right up until his Volvo's engine threw a rod and landed him in the junkyard.
When Capron finally limped into MBA's office with his new brake, the editors were impressed. Glowing reviews followed. By the time Capron graduated from high school, he was selling 500 hundred units a month under his company, Marinovative.
What inspired Capron to become a teenage entrepreneur in the first place? Capron had a job at the Village Peddler in Larkspur and, like so many bike mechanics, had developed a knack for modifying components that weren't up to snuff.
"I wasn't afraid to take shit apart and tinker with it," explains Capron. "On the weekends my brother and I would go to the dump, pick up a bunch of free stuff, drag it home, and then take it all apart and put it back together again. I was always fascinated by the way things worked and when I got into riding, I was always modifying things on my bike."
"Cantilever brakes, in particular, just frustrated the hell out of me," continues Capron. "The more power you needed, the less you got out of the design because the straddle cable would start moving more and more vertically instead of bringing the force in on the rim, which is what you need."
By this time, the teenage Capron had also squeezed his grandfather's old drill press into his bedroom closet and began tinkering with it in earnest.
"I began using that drill press as a vertical lathe—cutting things out of billet aluminum and just messing around. That led to my first brake, which I made out of Shimano cantilevers with two Blackburn rack extensions—the stamped steel ones. I used the rack extensions as vertical arms, and then I took the rollers out of a SunTour Roller Cam, the old Cunningham design, and I put those in the slot and that was my first prototype brake."
"My sister saw what I was doing," Capron recalls. "And said, 'Why don't you make something out of this?' and I told her, 'Well, you know, I'm just messing around.' So she said, 'What if I gave you a thousand bucks? Could you find someone who could make these for you?'
"So I was making these prototype brakes and showing them to Mark Norstad and he was giving me pointers on the design. When my sister gave me the thousand bucks I said, 'Hey, Mark, can you make me a batch of these brakes that I've drawn up?' Mark helped me refine the design and make them more easily manufactured. He made these beautiful brakes for me based on my design and that's when I made that trip down to Mountain Bike Action in my Volvo."
Capron's design incorporated titanium as well, which was a rarity in the bike business back then, during the `80s.
How did he get ahold of the stuff?
Capron laughs, "Even back then I could talk up a mean game. I'd call up these titanium companies and tell them that I represented this company and that we were looking to build up some prototypes and that we needed a new titanium vendor—could they send us over some samples? It was the truth… They just didn't realize they were talking to a teenager. Well, these titanium manufacturers would send me these samples—like 20 feet of titanium tubing. You can make a lot of brakes out of that!"
Though Capron was soon selling a ton of Decelerator cantilever brakes, he still wasn't satisfied with the basic cantilever framework. Capron had also invented his own full-suspension design, using cast off frame bits that he scrounged up from the dumpster behind Gary Fisher Bicycles. That frame landed him an Innovator award from Bicycling magazine. The frame also highlighted his ongoing battle with cantilever brakes. Capron was having a hard time getting cantilever brakes to play nice with his full-suspension frame.
One night, as Capron was staring at the cable noodle of his motorcycle throttle, inspiration struck. An hour and a half later, Capron had used that noodle from his moto to create the first side-pull brake. He dubbed the finished product the Stop Lite. Weighing a mere 87 grams, the Stop Lite was a huge leap forward, boasting far more power than any cantilever stopper. The powerful, lightweight titanium brake quickly built a small, but rabid following. It also attracted attention from competitors. In 1996, Shimano debuted their own XTR version of the side-pull (the V-brake) and within a few years, side-pull brakes could be found on almost every new mountain bike.
You might think the meteoric rise of the side-pull brake would have made Capron fabulously rich. Nope. Capron struggled with patents on his first brake, the Decelerator, and hadn't pursued a patent for the Stop Lite. Marinovative didn't make a single red cent on royalties. This doesn't bother Capron in the least.
"I'm not bitter at all. For a lot of reasons. If I'd patented the side-pull design, I don't think other companies—Shimano in particular—would have bothered making them in the first place. The status quo would have probably remained cantilevers until disc brakes arrived. I'm just glad to have had the opportunity to make things that helped riding become better … more fun. I learned a lot."
Capron quickly channeled much of what he learned into various leadership roles at Specialized Bicycle Components. Still, Capron looks back fondly on his days running Marinovative. "That time in the nineties? It was a great period when everyone was inventing, when anything was possible. I'm glad to have been a part of that."

Northern Michigan Essays: Trespassing Upper Peninsula Style
I don't know who owns the humble log structure, but I sure know I enjoy pretending it's me from time to time. And I know there are dozens of others who feel the same way.
It's a cabin on a bedrock bald overlooking a frozen lake in the highlands of the central Upper Peninsula. And we're an interloping band of roving cabin poachers. Good people, mostly, I think, but not afraid to bend the rules occasionally, now and again, from time to time and over and over. We hold fast to the belief, often found in areas with high unemployment and low wages, that it's a damn shame when certain things go unused or underappreciated. Oak saw logs that didn't make it onto the logger's truck become our firewood. Fender-tenderized venison fills our freezers. Abandoned, or, um, lightly used camps and cottages fill our weekends.
Now, if you're still reading, and not dialing the authorities, you'll be happy to know that while what we do is technically … probably … okay, most likely breaking and entering, there has never been any breaking. In fact, there's often fixing. I don't know what the sentence for entering and repairing would be, but up here common law and common sense seem more common place, and I'm willing to bet that a judge in Ishpeming or Eagle River would go easy on us.
I've heard that the owners are in Texas, or was it Florida? Anyway, they're someplace warm and far away. I guess they own several hundred acres enrolled as commercial forestland, and probably managed as part of an investment portfolio. I wonder if they've ever even seen this rugged pocket of lakes and hills, a good hike in off a dirt road that only connects to another dirt road. What are the odds that they've pushed through blowdowns, mucked around impromptu beaver ponds and scaled the massive rock up to the shack?

Prague aims to rein in growing Segway craze
By Stephanie Strauss and Lucie Tepla
PRAGUE (Reuters) - Prague city officials want to crack down on what they see as a dangerous proliferation of two-wheeled Segway vehicles clogging the city's historic streets and sidewalks.
A visit to the city's Old Town Square highlights how Segway tours have mushroomed over the past few years as dozens of guides buzz around, weaving around tourists as they hunt for customers.
"I came here six years ago and there were no Segways," one tour guide said while standing on his vehicle. "Now they are everywhere."
A Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle that uses gyroscopes to remain upright. Drivers stand on a small platform and control the vehicles by leaning in different directions.
The vehicles garnered global headlines when a Segway-riding cameraman sent the world's fastest man Usain Bolt tumbling at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing in August.
Prague officials say the vehicles are no laughing matter and worry it's only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs - spurring a push to ban the vehicles from sidewalks, pedestrian areas and popular tourist spots.
"I understand Segways are part of technical advances and laws can't limit such developments," city council member Jan Korseska said. "Nevertheless it seems to me we have to enact a law so Segways aren't classified as pedestrians anymore."
"I do not like Segways because they aren't safe for pedestrians." Continued...

Yes! My mom said she used to listen to Michael Jackson when she was pregnant with me. After I was born (in 1983, wow!), if I wouldn't stop crying, she'd put on some Michael Jackson records and start dancing with me, and I'd instantly stop crying.ReplyDelete
I remember dancing around my living room to Thriller. NON. STOP.

Solar Panels & Solar Electricity
Generate cheap, green electricity from sunlight.
Solar electricity systems capture the sun's energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting. PV cells don't need direct sunlight to work – you can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day..
How do photovoltaic (PV) cells work?
PV cells are panels you can attach to your roof or walls. Each cell is made from one or two layers of semiconducting material, usually silicone. An environmentally friendly resource of which there is NO limitation to its availability. As a raw material silicone is in fact the second most abundant material in the mass of the earth. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced. PV cells come in a variety of shapes and colours, from grey "solar tiles" that look like roof tiles to panels and transparent cells that you can use on conservatories and glass. The strength of a PV cell is measured in kilowatt peak (kWp). That's the amount of energy the cell generates in full sunlight.
Here is an example of how a Solar Photovoltaic system would work in your home:
Electricity is created by your Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system using the energy from the sun. Your electricity supplier pays you for each unit of electricity you generate. The electricity travels to your inverter. This is necessary because solar PV panels generate DC power, but your house runs off AC power.
Once inverted the electricity is passed to your generator to show how much electricity you are generating and then sent on to your mains consumer unit (fuse-board). Once the electricity is passing through your mains consumer unit it is ready for use to power all of the electrical appliances around your home.
You are using the electricity you have generated meaning you do not have to import from the grid. Your electricity suppliers meter continues to monitor your incoming supply. The surplus electricity is then exported back to the grid where your supplier pays you an export tariff for each unit of electricity you have not used.

If you have never lost a husband, I pray to God above you never do. You meet, you fall in love and then the biggest day of your life arrives. The day you profess your undying love "Till Death Do You Part". You say those words but you don't comprehend what that truly means. You see, all you can think about is spending your life together deepening that deep love you already have. You think life can't get any more incredible BUT then you learn a child is coming. Then another. Now your life is complete. You have the love of your life and now you have your family. You love, you live and you build the most wonderful memories. You are in Heaven.
One night you say good night to your love of your life, you give him your passionate kiss and you snuggle down. You sense something is wrong. Your heart goes into the panic mode. You turn on the light and your heart skips a beat. It wants to stop because you are in total fear. Yes this fear is real. There laying next to you is the love of your life, your world, the man who kept your heart beating with so much love has left you. He has taken his journey to the Bridge.
Now that your love is gone, you experience a new life that is filled with so much pain, begging him to return to you because your body aches so bad just to have him hold you again. Your nights are so lonely that you think you are going to scream. But you can't. Now you not only lost your love, but your heart remembers the night you lost your precious baby son who didn't even make it to two months old. OMD the pain is unbearable.
Spy my darling, the love of my life, my whole world, I miss you more than words can say. You were the most incredible husband and father that ever lived. Oh darling, you were chosen Diary Pick of the Day. When I saw the picture they did for you, I broke down and cried. Our daughter and I are so very very proud of you and just not because you are Diary Pick of the Day. Because of all the love you have given us and all the pups and kitties on Dogster. Cricket misses her daddy so much she cries herself to sleep. She watches out the window for you to come home from "work". When it is bedtime and you haven't come home, she cries and I hold her and rock her until she finally goes to sleep. Oh darling, how are we going to go on without you? How will this pain ease up? Your Tassy is devastated. Her papa Spy is gone. She and her babies are here with me now and they are good for our Cricket.
Darling, give mama Wendy and our son lots and lots of hugs and kisses from our daughter and me. You are free of pain, tiredness and darling you are a young pup again. So run my darling. Run like you did when you were just a pup. I will join you, mama Wendy and our Tiger Spy and we will never be separated ever again. So darling wait for me. And when you get lonely come see us. My arms ache for you.
I won't say good bye. I will say, until we see each other again.
I love, cherish and adore you.
Your "Ladybug" Always and forever

Implications of root spatial relationships in young wheat obtained from CT-scanning for an invasion by fungal pathogens
Item TypeConference Paper
MetadataShow full item record
We analyse the way in which spatial arrangement of roots of plants provides a landscape for spread of soil microorganisms. We use a pathozone concept to characterise the behaviour at the individual root level, whereas percolation theory is used to scale-up to the population of roots. Sectional images of living wheat roots were obtained non-destructively by whole-body computed tomography X-ray scanning (X-ray CT). The data were subsequently interpreted in the light of a potential for spread of a fungal pathogen, initiated from a soil propagule and subsequently realized through a root-to-root transmission. We show that realistic root systems can support very different potential for microorganisms spread, with rapid switches from non-invasive to invasive behaviour. The switch can be controlled by time or nutrition (increase in root density resulting in invasion) or properties of the pathogen or interactions with other microorganisms (increase in pathozone width resulting in invasion). There is a substantial variability among plants so that the depth of a zone of potential spread can significantly differ even for plants growing under very similar conditions.

Web-to-Print : Hard Lessons Learned
According to Joe Novak, president of BFC, the company has roughly 100 active sites that it maintains for clients, and each day brings new customer requests for updates and changes. The value proposition, he says, is the printer's ability to offer those tools beyond the staid letterhead/business card/envelope offerings.
Best Types of Clients
"The verticals that really do well with these types of products are companies that have extended sales networks," Novak points out. "That includes franchise groups with franchisees, insurance companies and health care organizations that have agents and brokers, and manufacturing companies with distributors and dealers. These tools fit very well within that model."
All of BFC's clients are taking advantage of the printer's W2P offerings in some shape or form. "Quite frankly, we wouldn't have those customers today if we didn't offer the technology," the company's president says. "The technology allows us to change the way that they do business. Once you help them make that change—and it's your tool that they're using—it also makes it really difficult for them to go anywhere else."
BFC has four online managers minding the store and four IT developers who built the proprietary systems. Document Manager, Kit Manager and My Campaign—like the basic W2P system—arose out of conversations with clients regarding solutions that would make life easier for them.
The biggest challenge for Novak and his team is dealing with customer requests to hyper-customize their systems. That taxes the printer from an internal resources standpoint, and Novak is careful to ensure that BFC is billing the clients appropriately. Plus, in order to better manage these new programs, BFC created a development platform that was costly, challenging and time-consuming.
And, when the tool shed is finally complete, the work doesn't end there. It's up to Novak and his sales team to market the capabilities to clients in terms that can be easily understood, and appreciated.
oleg koshevoy
impressive articles but as for me client first must understand that current model of his bussiness is old

You make no mention of companies like Etailogic who are offering turnkey w2p solutions that make it easy for little guys like me to sell online. W2P is no longer just for the big boys. As technology improves, solutions become abundant and get cheaper. Our web store cost us less than$1000 complete, contrast that to companies paying millions, yet we're all offering pretty much the same products. I do my share of business and I'm happy with it. Despite all the competition, I've built my entire customer base online and I work everyday to build off it.


text: The location is good, and the staff are pleasant, if not very helpful. It's freezing but there is no heat most of the time. The rooms are tattered, with broken lights and cheap plywood sheet doors and roofs, along with tiny cramped bathrooms. The walls are VERY thin. Breakfast is in an unheated room, everyone wore a coat, and was a chunk of hard bread and some coldcuts. I changed to a less expensive hotel across the street, and got twice the comfort and service. Sorry, Don Sebastian has potential, but it seems that at the moment they are just doing the minimum and making money until the bad reviews start kicking in.

Halona and Robert were married at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. on July 13. "The Four Seasons is very private, and they don't have a casino inside the hotel," Halona said. "But what made me know this was the perfect venue is there highly-rated staff and wedding coordinators. They are definitely five-star and are amazing at making sure you have the wedding of your dreams." The bride wore a strapless tulle fit 'n' flare wedding gown, accessorized with her hair half-up/half-down in loose curls, fingertip-length veil, jeweled sash, and pair of Badgley Mischka peep-toe high heels, while the groom wore a black tuxedo, accessorized with a matching bow tie and vest. Bridesmaids wore long pink chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of roses and hydrangeas. "We had rehearsed in an empty room, and I had not seen my decor yet," she said. "So, the moment when the doors opened to the ceremony and reception were beyond breathtaking and a moment I will never forget." Aisles were lined with floating candles in glass pillars to create a romantic ambience, and a unity candle was placed at the altar in loving memory of a lost one. It said, "This light shines as a symbol of a life and love remembered." Once the vows were sealed with a kiss, it was official! Not a single guest could resist taking a snapshot during the recessional. They found their seats via a mirror featuring assignments. Tables were decorated with rosette linens, tall candelabra centerpieces, glitter numbers, and crystal votive candles. "The food was delicious," Halona said. Not to mention the five-tiered cake was suspended hanging from the ceiling! Extra entertainment, outside of the dance floor, was a photo booth complete with props. The newlyweds' best advice? "Find an wedding planner that knows different venues and can see your vision miles away," she said. "Our wedding was a destination wedding, and I read a lot of reviews before I chose Andrea Eppolito to coordinate my wedding. When I say she is great at what she does, I mean it. I was totally blown away . . . it was everything I had dreamed of and more."

- In this painting created for Buddhist worship, Shakyamuni, the Historical Buddha, sits on a throne. To the left and right are his two principal attendants: the bodhisattvas (enlightened beings) Manjushri (Japanese: Monju bosatsu), who rides a lion and holds a scepter, and Samatabhadra (Japanese: Fugen bosatsu), who rides a six-tusked elephant and holds a lotus. Two guardian attendants stand below the deities, whose divine status is signified by their circular emanations of light. A specialist has used kirigane, a Japanese technique employing fine patterns of cut gold leaf, to embellish the Buddhas robes. This painting follows a standard composition for Buddhist icons, with the principal figure at center and subordinate figures positioned symmetrically and in smaller scale. Sculptures on Buddhist altars also were placed in symmetrical and hierarchical arrangements.

Ex-Foreigner Frontman Lou Gramm Says Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Is "an Incredible Honor"
Tonight, founding Foreigner singer Lou Gramm will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside his ex-band mate and writing partner, guitarist Mick Jones. The former collaborators will be welcomed into the hall along with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler & Joe Perry, Eagles collaborator JD Souther and pop-rock hit machine Holly Knight.
Gramm tells ABC News Radio that being acknowledged by the Songwriters Hall of Fame is "an incredible honor" for him. He notes that it's especially meaningful knowing that such classic composers as Burt Bacharach & Hal David and Paul Williams have preceded Jones and him onto the hall. "I know we'll be in real good company," Lou adds.
Gramm and Jones, of course, are responsible for a pretty impressive catalog of hits themselves. Among the many classic tunes they co-wrote are "Cold as Ice," "Long, Long Way from Home," "Hot Blooded," "Double Vision," "Head Games" and "Waiting for a Girl Like You."
Gramm departed Foreigner back in 2003, and did not leave on the best of terms with Jones, who continues to lead a current incarnation of the group. However, Lou tells ABC News Radio that he reconnected with his ex-band mate after finding out about their Hall of Fame induction, revealing that the two are planning to perform together at the ceremony.
"I called him for the first time in 10 years and congratulated him," he says. "[We] didn't have a long conversation but it was a friendly conversation…You know, I think it's important that we bury the hatchet."
The 44th annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Gala takes place at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in in New York City. Besides the evening's inductees, a number of other luminaries will be honored with special awards, including Motown founder Berry Gordy, Elton John and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. Also, a variety of stars who will be on hand to serve as either performers or presenters, including Billy Joel, Sting, Smokey Robinson, Peter Asher, Patty Smyth, Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas, Alison Krauss and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger.

Hopeless Newbie
The title of this says it all -- I like to "do it myself" but I'm not very good at it. I logged onto DIYchatroom because I have to fix a garage door opener (the gear turned by the worm drive is totally stripped)and I was looking for some tips. A service call was about $200 and the part was available for $33, so I'm taking a shot at it myself tomorrow.
How did you make out with it?
Hello Hopeless Newbie,
Welcome to the DIY Chatroom.
Welcome to the site. You are obviously not 'helpless' because you have already figured out what was wrong and how to order the correct part!:thumbup:
welcome to the site.....it beats renting:eek: check this repair site out http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infgar/infgar1.html
Welcome to the site...Please to meet you!
Hi Pop!
New to site myself. I'm a professional handyman, which simply means I get into just as much trouble as a hobbyist, but I charge people to do it. *stupid grin*
On your garage opener gear replacement; BEFORE you tear it apart and attempt to replace components, make sure you have figger'd out WHY the gear stripped. Otherwise, instead of an old stripped gear, you will now have a new stripped gear. The most likely culprit is binding on the door's upward travel. This is usually caused by:
A.) Worn out/broken wheel(s)
B.) Worn out/broken, original imbalance of tension in the lift-assist springs (remember, the door opener DOES NOT lift the weight of the door). This applies to both extension and torsion systems.
C.) Misalignment of the tracks (settlement, physical trauma, improper original installation
D.) Improper original alignment of the opener track, causing increasing frictional wear as time goes by
E.) A foreign object somewhere in the tracks, both the door tracks AND the opener track
F.) Binding of one or more of the door hinges
Add'l food for thought - if the opener is old, consider replacing the whole thing. It's been my experience that the very second you repair one component or aspect of an older opener, invariably something else goes South - motor windings, switch assemblies, bearings, etc.
A word of caution here; if your system uses torsion springs (horizontal, mounted accross the door opening) DO NOT attempt to adjust/replace them, they are notoriously dangerous. Yes, there are instructions out there for DIY'ers, but if you've never worked on them, it can get very scary, very quickly. One mis-application of a pair of visegrips or winding "sticks" and BAM!, you're in the E.R., spending money you should have given to some fool like myself.
Just some suggestions based on a few years of breaking other people's garage door openers and then charging them for it. *really stupid grin*
OMG, thanks for all the help!
I did it! I replaced that garage door worm gear thingy. Not quite all by myself -- my very competent DYI-ish neighbor acted as consultant, when I couldn't get the door to run its complete cycle after installing the new gear. But it works great now, and I wanted to thank everyone on this thread for the welcome encouragement and advice. I am a big fan of dyichatroom now. Thanks again for everything!
G' morning hopeless, I noticed you stated the "gear" that turns the warm drive was stripped, I just thought I would add that the most common problem I have run into is the actual "Travel plate" that rides the rail would strip, because it's made of plastic. Good Luck!
i just replaced a cheap one like that with a chain drive. the gal is MUCH happier now.

Place: A Story of Modelmaking, Menageries and Paper Rounds - Terry Farrell - Life and Work - Early Years to 1981
£29.95 (Paperback)
Review by Louise Thomas
Place: Terry Farrell, Life and Work, Early years to 1981.
Terry Farell, Lawrence King Publishing, Ltd, 2004, £29.95
Launched at the UDG Conference in Manchester last November,this book tells the story of how Terry Farrell became the person we know today.It is divided into five sections: Childhood, College, America,Practice and 25 Projects, from architecture projects in 1959 to the first projects as Terry Farrell & Partners.
The story starts in Sale,Manchester where Terry was born,follows him and his family to Newcastle and Blackpool, the start of his architectural training back in Newcastle and the University of Pennsylvania,and onto work in London and a curious time at the LCC. However, he describes himself as an ordinary boy -an underachiever academically and a loner socially; yet with the encouragement of teachers and mentors, he developed his appreciation of cities, towns and neighbourhoods,and an unusual drawing style to become a confident and thoughtful designer.
Influential travel scholarships and study tours to Scandinavia,America, Japan,India,and Hong Kong are well documented.He also describes various New Towns,what they were aiming to create and the places they are today with an enthusiasm that doesn 't seem to have been distorted over the years as fashions change.
What is interesting is that Terry Farrell has always been more of an urban designer than an architect.His early one- off buildings and later spectacular mega-projects mask a deeper and consistent care for how cities work.His role in the UDG and UDAL demonstrate that.
The book is certainly worth reading, but don 't expect to read it in bed or on the bus or tube, it is too big and heavy, and much more informative than its coffee table format suggests. I had expected glossy full page drawings and photos,but the majority of the illustrations are interleaved with the text as the story unfolds. The subdivision of Terry 's life story and its 'product 'is clever,as it is as chronological as an autobiography, but also allows you to dip into the projects as case studies,including some updates on how buildings have been used. In a few instances within this autobiographical structure, it occasionally seems too providential that life has panned out like this so far. But unlike some famous architects ' biographies, the person described doesn 't lose his 'human 'character and appeal as he grows in stature.

frame swap for 1950 chevy truck
I have a 1950 five window Chevy pickup, can anyone tell me if there is another frame that I can use other than an S-10 to put my truck on? Will any of the short bed Chevy trucks work? or are there any car frames that might work? I would like to find a car or truck frame that will work that has front and rear disc brakes, and power steering and gas tank. Some one stole my "A" frame, bed and running boards from a friends house where I was prepping them.
If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Also I am a Computer Graphic designer of 18 years, and I would be willing to ****** ** **** *** * ***** ** *******. Thanks!

Frame swaps are a lot of work. No frame will just work for you...you have to make it work and there is lots of work to do...lots of welding and fab work. If you have the tools and equipment and are good at welding and fabrication, etc. Go for it but otherwise...IMHO...the best thing to do is use your 50 Chevy pick-up frame...upgrade it. You can put IFS on the front with disc brakes...you can box the rails for strength. *** Please use the Classifieds on this site to place a free ad for your barter or trade. Advertiseing for that is just not allowed on the boards.
Thanks, that's a great idea but some one stole my "A" frame and at this point I have no idea where to buy a replacement. Also prefab IFS and IRS suspension are very expensive. At this time I am not financially able to go in that direction.
I have my cab,fenders and hood in my garage so maybe if I have to wait a few years to do the frame swap (until I can get the money) looks like I may have to do that. But I just thought there was a cheaper way to buy a frame that would work that had front and rear suspension that I could modify. I am willing to do the work but I don't have the weiding skills or fabracation tools to do the job.
I have done Cad drafter for over 5 years and computer graphic design for over 18 years. I have a good understanding of designing, but I just don't have the weilding skills to do the work myself. I have even thought about buying a how-to book on building a custome frame or maybe someone has a blue print of a good design I could use to build a frame. I was also thinking that I could find a short bed chevy frame that has front and rear disc brakes and modify it to fit the cab and the fenders of the truck. I'm sure I could find someone here in Dallas TX to do the weilding for me.
Again thanks for your help and if you know of anyone or any place I might could purchase a custom chassis blueprint design and specs for my 1950 please drop me a line.
Thanks again,
In Christ Care
Truck 1950
As far as the welding and fabrication skills those can be aquired..all that you need really is a drill press a welder and a cutoff saw..and some grinders..that is all I use to build chassis..On the welding part go get a lincoln or miller SP175 and start welding..once your you can stick 3 pieces of metal together youare good to go...One can find people with good welding skills to come over and finish weld your project.
What building thse rods takes more than anything else is determination and persistence. Dealing with setbacks is part of it as there will be times that you are ready to send the whole thing to the scrapper..Like when you find the parts that you bought don't fit and do not work..
So to summate this is do some searches on the site and look around and you can find ways to get it done..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Something to think about, how are you going to mount the bed to the new frame? Where are you going to put the mounting pads? How are you going to mount the cab to the new frame? How are you going to run steering linkage?
What about throttle linkage? TV linkage? Fuel tank? Fuel lines? Brake lines? Drive shaft? Frame lenght? Frame width?
Radiator support? There is a lot to be considered when planning a frame swap.
You would be better off using your existing frame.
Thanks OneMoreTime
That's very encouraging, also I have a friend at work who has a new welding machine he never uses much and said I could use it anytime I wanted to, and I'm sure he has a drill press and grinders.
What I don't know is what kind and size metal do I buy. I know the wheel base of the 50 pu up is 116" and some where I have the track width. I can lay out the design at work for I have a Cad program I use every day. If I can just get all the specs right I can design the frame. But again I don't know if I sure use tubing or some kind angle iron, for I have seen then done both ways in the truck magazines I buy.
I really like the tubing design frames but I will have to use whatever is best for my budget. Can you give me any information on what kind of metal I should use. I use to work as and Electrical Sub-Station construction helper so I know how to bend pipe. I am very good with my hands and I have a very good understanding of measuring and angle knowledge on how thing should go together.
But I don't know about the strength of metals and what types will carry a cab,finders, hood and bed.
Again thanks for you guys help and if you have more insights on the metal I need to buy and where to buy it, I would greatly appreciate it. I look forward to hearing from all who can help.
Thanks to all
In Christ Care
I would either put a Nova clip in it,Or build a whole new frame out of 2''x4'' tubing.
Go on Ebay and you can find some old AD trucks (47 2nd to 54) that will sell cheap and you will have a ton of replacement parts as well. I have see them for as little as 250.00. You will of course have to install your IFS but that will be a lot easier than building a new frame plus the extra parts you'll have.
I used 2x6 box tube on my most recent chassis build and will do it again as it gave me a good bit of room to run exhaust and mufflers inside the frame rails. One 20 foot bar is plenty.
I am looking at using the front ends from S-10 pickups as they are close to the same as a Nova and a lot more available..cut it off of the donor chassis just behind the lower control arm mounting points and use it like one would use a Nova front end. while you are getting the front cut the rear frame clip out of the s-10 just about 6-8 inches ahead of the front sspring mount..then connect the 2 pieces with your sq tube..When you are cutting clips out of a donor leave enough trim so you can fit the tubing to the clips..
The major deal with the S-10 chassis is that the stock configuration has a lot of humps and bumps and wiggles to it that make it hard to use for a rod project..Doing what I outline makes it much more usable..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
We clipped my dad's and my panel using the stock frame, 78-80 model camaro clips with polyurethane bushings. I've had my panel wagon off the frame though, took alot of time cleaning and boxing in the frame, grinding the welds back down. My dad's on the other hand isn't boxed, and our 468 BBC gives it a hell of a twisting.
Your better off using a nova clip then a s-10, It's much easier to put a sbc in a nova.You will have to run the s-10 headers, With the s-10 clip.I have pics of a 58 Chevy truck I did with a nova clip in my album.Also my 57 Chevy car I did with a Camaro clip.I have done several clips last year,and I prefer to use the nova clip.It is also narrower then the Camaro.
i can tell you what NOT to use, and that is a 73-81??) frame like the one under my truck. way too much hgt in the front for a 2 wheel drive rig. and i had to weld a pile of mounting points on it as well as remove 8 inches from the middle of the frame rails.
my stock frame was virtually flat, so new 2x4 steel wouldn't be that bad, but you would have to do welding of mounting points. maybe not that much tho.
the best part for an old truck is however, a whole new chassis. but in your case i think getting by with a new front clip would work. i don't know if your welding is up to it tho. you will be driving on two-lane highways alot. you would hate for your left front wheel to fall off in front of a semi. i imagine if you are bucks up that someone like Fatman makes a bolt in unit.
i think i am a pretty fair welder. however when i did my frame off i had a drunken ship fabricator from a local ship builder (dakota industries) as a roommate, until he went to jail.. he did all the welding on my frame. i just did all the measurements. so help is available. you would be amazed at how much free work you can get for "free beer" (or in his case, black velvet)
MMMMM, I have a 425 Caddy mtr sitting on my S10 frame thats under my 1ton Panel/Bus body. I had to move it forward to clear the firewall & all I had to do is fab up some brackets to weld to the frame & it is sitting low in the frame rails. I was able to use the stock Caddy mtr mounts & still was able to run the stock exhaust manifolds even though the 425 Caddy mtr is about 6inches wider then a SBC mtr w/o any problems.
The only reason you would have to run S10 headers is IF you used the stock 2.8 mtr mounts w.a V8 in a S10. Make up your own mount set-up using SBC mtr mounts, that way you don't have to by any of the V8 S10 kit garbage, heck that's why we have welders, cutting torches & other tools isn't it???? The worst part of a S10 swap is the front tires need to stick out about 2 inches further (tall spindle swap or offset rims fixes that)and you should use the S10 4x4 rearend to clear everything in the rear...joe
Last edited by TooMany2count; 04-07-2008 at 05:02 PM. Reason: add more junk
P.S. I don't buy anything I can make myself!!!!!!
Ok I have reread the complete post 4 times & up until I read your post no one mentioned headers until you did. You said, "You will have to run the s-10 headers, With the s-10 clip. Who's to say they HAD to run the S10 V8 convertion stuff or even headers. I guess they couldn't make up their own mtr mount kit and run (rear-dump) stock manifolds like myself, only difference is I'm running a Caddy mtr instead of a SBC & heck mine mtr is even wider, running stock manifolds & the drivers side is a center dump on top of it && it fits.
I'd also loved to know where you can up w/the "10" inside the fenders" garbage. On my own w/a 8" rim all I have is about 4" on inside clearance. I did say that was one of the drawbacks to this swap, did I not?? . I'm doing a tall spindle swap which will push a 12" rotor out about 2". I need at least 2 or so inches of clearance since my tires are tucked up inside my fenders. For myself & countless other this swap has worked fine.
And I'm sorry we're talking about 2 different trucks this poster has a 50 Chevy & you have a 57 Chevy, 2 "completely" different trucks in every way shape & form, nothing is the same other then it's brand name "Chevrolet" not even the width of the suspension.
