There are numerous little boys hairstyles that can be used in order to bring out the natural youth and appeal of the small males in our lives.
Here, I will share with you some information that is necessary to style the hair of young boys, and keep the hair healthy and at its best.
The very first basic care technique when it comes to little boy's hairstyles is to ensure that the hair is kept clean at all times.
Regardless of how long or how short the hair is, it is absolutely essential to wash and condition the hair on a daily basis.
By ensuring that the boy's hair is kept clean on a regular basis, you are ensuring that it is kept in top shape and that it is able to maintain its natural shine.
If the hair is not properly washed and conditioned on a regular basis, it is very likely that the shine will become lost and it can become dull and brittle.
Many parents of small boys are under the impression that it is not necessary to condition the child's hair if that child is a little boy.
However, conditioner is an important element when it comes to the overall shine and health of the hair. In addition to this, it is likely to make the hair soft and relatively manageable when styling the hair of the male child.
If you are working with little boy's hairstyles that are a bit on the longer side, conditioner can assist in making the hair easy to style and it can also help in reducing the amount of tangles that naturally occur in the hair.
The next aspect that should be considered when it comes to little boy's hairstyles are the sideburns. Even at a young age, it is common for little boys to develop sideburns. If you want to optimize the appearance of a little boy's hairstyle, it is important to keep this section of the hair trimmed neatly and shortly.
This can be easily performed by simply taking some electric clippers and running the down and then up on the side burn areas.
It is essential that you ensure that the sides match when cutting the sideburns. If you are not comfortable with this step, you may consider taking your son to a professional barber.
When experimenting with different little boy's hairstyles, you may find it necessary to implement the use of various hair products. You should use these products only when absolutely necessary as they may prove to be damaging to the hair.
If you do need to use hair products, you should stick to those that are considered mild and gentle to the hair. A mousse and even hair styling gel that is made especially for children may be an appropriate choice.
You can experiment with numerous styles when it comes to little boy's hairstyles. Many are happy with a simple one inch buzz cut while others want to allow some length so that other styles can be experimented with. The choice is yours!
How long should you keep your toddler boy's baby curls? This article will give you some tips to make this event a little more bearable.

Nice jet pack man. I only hope mine looks half as good.
Nice jet pack man. I only hope mine looks half as good.
Not to be a stick in the mud but can we keep this thread on topic? Thanks... I'm still hoping for other people's thruster advice.
Humm, when it looked like it could be gray, or silver, or dirty...I mixed silver with light grey, enough so it gave it a slight metallic look, then once it had dried, I took some black and whiped the thing down to weather it a bit, concentrated it a bit more on the bottom for that oh so subtle charred look
I painted mine Rustoleum Aluminum (7737 I think). I took flat black spray paint and sprayed 'puffs' inside of the jets for that sooty look. It gave the bottoms (on the outside) a nice smoked look. I then took some gray primer and did a light mist from a few feet away, and finally some flat black acrylic paint (mixed with a touch of gray) and did the rag-smear thing for weathering. This is pretty much how I weathered all of my armor. I can't post any new pics tonight, but you may be able to see some pics of me sporting my jet pack on Brak's Dragon Con pic link. I haven't had the chance to look through all of them, but I know he snapped a few.
Thanks guys! Now we're rolling!
I haven't started painting my jet pack yet, but the pictures I saw looked like they might be more of a pewter-ish color (think Tampa Bay Bucs colors) than aluminum. I could be way off with the shade due to the lighting in the picture, but I'm going to try and find a less "silver" metallic color to use. And then of course weather the crap out of it.
I have the resin nozzles that I'm thinking about giving them away, once I have the plastic ones or bottles. Which ones do you have? We could trade these. Let me know.
I noticed that a lot of people paint the JP in different ways. This time I'm talking about the thrusters. I've seen some people paint it either silver or white, but in the pictures from the MoM of the real Bob Fett Jet Pack thrusters and it looks like the outside color is either a really light pale OD green or some other type of silver, like pewter or metallic gray with the usual scratches and dents showing the silver underneath, which makes our favorite Bounty Hunter famous and unique.
My point is which is the actual color of the Jet Pack thrusters??? Please, somebody let me know.
I painted mine with an off white spray, and I heavily misted them with a gray primer and black.
well im doing ESB and they seem to be the same shade of green as the jet pack.hope i didnt confuse you anymore, or me for that matter
Ohhhhhh, the ESB jet pack's thrusters. From the few color reference pics of that particular jet pack, I'd agree with you that they are probably the same shade of green as the rest of the pack. Judge for yourself.
thats the pic i used for reference also
I bought the Glade Air Freshners (actually the cheaper brand "Rezunit"), but they're great, they are even stronger than a spray or soda bottle, even though you have to sand them as well (fine grit sandpaper) to erase the designs in the outside, and by the way...they were .85¢ each, which is not bad at all. I still have the resin nozzles to sell or trade, if anyone's interested and wants them.
Hey, gang. I was wandering around the local Target today looking for inspiration, when I saw an advertised "New at Target" display on an end-cap in the cleaning section.
It's a hoighty-toighty looking dishsoap that comes in different scents like mint or mandarin. It's called Method, I believe, or something starting with an "M".
Anyway, it starts as a ball on top, then becomes a truncated cone at the base. It is possible to get a four and a half inch long by three an a half inch wide cone from the thing(yes, I carry a tape measure almost everywhere I go). Or any variation smaller by cutting accordingly. The price is a bit steep; 3.49 US if I remember right, but your dishes will smell real purty for a long time with all that designer dishsoap.
If anyone sees these and is better versed on the scale of the j/p, please advise here. I'm sure many of us would appreciate it. Thanks.
My jet pack nozzles are made from the upper halves of spray bottles, and I'm looking for a way to add a little detail to the INSIDE of the nozzle.
I've seen some prop-makers who added details with what looks like auto parts/gaskets/gears, to make the inside a little more 'rocket-looking'.
Any ideas? What was used?
I used the bottom of the "air fresheners", filed and shaped the squares there, sand or cut the lettering it has in the bottom, and glue it to the inside of the nozzle. Here's mine,
Hope this helps you. BTW...is cheaper ( ¢.90 each), besides, will leave your JPack smelling sooooooooo good!
That's a pretty good idea, Robert. Can you imagine have air actually channeled through the nozzles? You'd leave that clean, fresh scent, wherever you go!
I think that the picture you have is of an MB JP and I believe that for his details he use the outter ring from a set of undercabinet lights(see attached pic) and some PVC tubing.
I have a set of MB's thrusters just like the ones in your picture, only I added a piece of screen material to the inner/smaller circle for added detail. If you used the outter ring in yours, since it won't be solid resin like mine, you could add orange LEDs behind it to give it a cool glow like it's ready to fire up.
Hopefully this was helpful.
Robert E.
I hope the pic loads properly.
::edit:: fixed your pic error, but it still isn't showing up
DOH! obviously the pic didn't load properly.
Still a Newbie!!!!!!!
Use the TDH image host:
Pic is working now. Thanks for the help Jango_Wes!
You guys on TDH ROCK!
Good luck on the Thruster greeblies. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Robert E.
Actually, I used some sort of PVC fitting for the inside detail of my nozzles in my kits (first pic). It was gray in color, but I don't remember what it was. I believe the center was another pvc part.
I found a couple odds and ends from the local hardware store. Two electrical conduit line caps and a couple small PVC fittings. It looks good enough to me!
Sorry for the crappy picture, that's what you get from a cheap digital camera...
Sherlock came by to see what all the hub-bub was...this is what they look like before the glue and paintjob.
As I was loading these images, he knocked over the display, the rascal...
What are the base colors on the side nozzles? White or silver?

Button has the attribute HoldRest, to make possible that its argument
contains code that will not be evaluated when the button is created, but
only when it is pressed. So you need to fill in the n in evaluated form,
this is one possibility:
array = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
Table[With[{n = n},
Button[array[[n]], Print[n], ImageSize -> {50, 50}]], {n, 1,
Length[array], 1}]]}]

Dan's Day Trips Part One
I've scoped out the best of North Central Florida, and I have some incredible places for you to visit. In Part One of Dan's Day Trips we take a dip in one of the most pristine springs around.
Leave the stress of the city behind when you arrive at the Ichetucknee Springs State Park. It's quite a mouthful and quite a trip. Whether by tube, kayak, or canoe, you can't go wrong.
The first thing that hits you is the calm. Here, it's all about nature: turtles, beavers and birds. Though some are a little bit louder than others.
It doesn't take an expert paddler to float down the waterway, but keep your eyes open for the occasional tree stretching across your path. Trust me, it's going to be tough to keep from staring at the bottom.
Only 750 tubers daily are allowed on the north end between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but you can canoe or kayak all year long. The south end of the Ichetucknee has water that is wider and deeper which allows tubers to come here all year long.
"If you come here on weekends or on a holiday, you need to get here early because the limit of 750 people," says Ichetucknee Springs Park Specialist Patty Martin. "The line outside the park can start forming at 7:30 and be three miles long before we open the park at 8 am. so come early and bring lots of sunscreen."
Don't miss the Devil's Eye. It's where the water flows up from the floridian aquifer at a constant 72 degrees year-round.
There's plenty of room for all. Gaze up at the majestic cypress trees which line the sides of the waterway. Keep an eye out for what Martin calls a shell station, where turtles sit in a long line on a tree basking in the sun.
"To me, Ichetucknee is one of the most beautiful places in the world," Martin says. "And if you come here on a stressful day, just the atmosphere itself will make you leave the stress away and you'll forget all about it."
While this brown water snake may give some people chills, Martin says the water is too cold for alligators and poisonous snakes. But before you go, don't forget to visit Sebastian, a 7-foot Eastern Indigo Snake, kept on display at the park's Educational Center. But don't worry, most of the time, he's behind the glass. There's plenty to see at the Center, including exhibits on keeping the springs clean, history of the park and a burned out Native American canoe that's several hundred years old.
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention you can swim in the Blue Hole Spring? I guess, I was trying to keep that secret for myself! It's a great spot to cool off after a couple hours of paddling.
"You will see what the real Florida looks like," Martin says. "We have history here in the park, meet a ranger, get to know the staff and get to know Ichetucknee because the beauty here, it's undescribable."
It costs five dollars per car to get in the park, and a little extra to canoe or tube. But trust me it's worth it.
A special thanks to Patty Martin for guiding me down the springs. On tomorrow night's trip, I'll be heading to a name that most will recognize but few have experienced.

Wayne Rooney will join the parade of stars at Paris Saint-Germain in 2013-14. That is, if a French source is to be believed. Michel Moulin served as an advisor to PSG in 2008, and he now owns and operates French media outlet Le Sport 10. On Sunday, he told a French television station that Manchester United will definitely sell Rooney to PSG this summer, the Mirror reports. "I announce to you from trusted sources: Rooney to PSG is done," Moulin said on Sunday. "He will be at PSG next season." Rooney's future has been the subject of widespread speculation in recent weeks, after he was dropped from the starting lineup ahead of United's UEFA Champions League game against Real Madrid in March. Those reports suggest that United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has ongoing concerns about Rooney's fitness. He and other club officials could be of the opinion that the 27-year-old's best years are behind him and now is the time to move him out of the club. Rooney's contract reportedly pays him around £250,000-a-week. It expires in 2015, and this summer should see him either agree to an extension (in which he will reportedly face a pay cut) or move to another club. Rumors of PSG's interest in Rooney date back to last May, when the French club reportedly budgeted around £120 million ($184.7 million) to fund a potential move for the English star. AS Monaco is also reportedly ready to present Rooney a lucrative, tax-free option should he leave United this summer. If Moulin's claims are correct, Rooney will be plying his trade in France's capital city rather than in the principality in the south. Have a question for Marcus Kwesi O'Mard? Send it to him via Twitter at @NESNsoccer, NESN Soccer's Facebook page or send it here. He will pick a few questions to answer every week for his mailbag.

Some are here until they can return home. Others are here until they can figure out where to start over.
After wildfires forced the evacuation of Slave Lake, Alta., nearly 1,000 residents have headed an hour east, gathering at an evacuee site set up at a sports complex in Athabasca, Alta.
It's temporary, but it's all some have. Hundreds will never be able to go back to the homes they knew. Fires that shifted suddenly on Sunday evening have destroyed scores of homes in southeast Slave Lake, described as the worst fire in a generation.
At many homes, little remained Monday afternoon beyond cement staircases, drooping remnants of metal and smouldering rubble. The damage was caused by a fire for which an evacuation order came after flames had already entered the town.
Frustration and shock have now begun to give way to anger – at the lack of an early evacuation order, at the chaos once an order was finally issued and over an enduring lack of information more than day later.
"Right up until the last minute when we started our car, we were still being told to stay in Slave Lake," said Sharon Horner, 45, who fled with her husband and three children. "It was chaos."
It's not as if the Horner family was overly cautious. They waited all day for notice to leave, and only did so after a neighbour warned their daughter, who'd been sitting outside: "Tell your dad to get the hell out now."
Ms. Horner quickly rounded up the family and dogs while Mr. Horner hitched their RV to a truck. They were gone within minutes.
As they drove, flaming shingles rained on their vehicle. Thick smoke covered everything. They knew the worst was coming – their house was soon up in flames. Their 18-year-old son, driving behind them, sent a simple text message: "I'm scared."
"It was black, your eyes were burning. If you opened your mouth, it felt like you were breathing fire," Ms. Horner said. "They were driving on the sidewalks. Everyone was just running for their lives. And there was no warning. None."
A communications meltdown hampered the town's efforts to get word out once the winds shifted suddenly. The town had been using the local radio station, but its message was hardly dire – pop songs played in between sporadic news updates, which as the day dragged on were rarely timely.
Eventually, the power failed. The radio signal died. Other than Internet postings, there was no public warning.
"They're saying check our website, check Facebook. Who's walking around with an iPhone or a laptop?" said Ken Caissie, 52, who was evacuated from his own home near Slave Lake on Saturday evening, only to be evacuated again later from inside the town limits, where he was staying with family.
Buses that took residents from Slave Lake also led to confusion. Lloyd Cardinal, 49, allowed his 16-year-old son to take a bus to Athabasca while the rest of the family waited for gasoline to make the same drive. Instead, the bus went to Edmonton, where the teen is stuck.
"We let him go because he wanted to be with his friends, didn't want to hang out with the old people," Mr. Cardinal says. "Now, he's still over there. We can't get him back."
The town has opened its arms to evacuees such as Mr. Cardinal. At the bustling complex, cots are stretched out from wall to wall, piles of clothes sit unclaimed and food is served regularly. It's one of three similar centres set up across the region. In Athabasca, officials had to specifically ask locals to stop bringing clothes, food and other supplies – they're overwhelmed. A list of offers by local residents to welcome displaced families into their homes far outpaces demand.
"We can't thank the town of Athabasca enough," said Calvin Auger, 41. "We're so grateful."
One thing you won't see in the complex, however, are TVs. Provincial officials have specifically kept them away, not wanting to scare children with images from the catastrophe.
"We don't know what those images are going to look like, but it's not going to be comforting," said Kim Capstick, a spokeswoman at the centre and provincial staffer among many who were scrambled up to the region Monday morning. "We want to make sure this place is as welcoming and calming as it can be for everyone."
It has nevertheless fuelled complaints made by the vast majority of residents, who say they remain in an information vacuum. Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach visited the site Monday, one of many stops where he tried to explain that the wind shifted too quickly, and that crews did their best.
"These were calls made by professionals. This is the result, again, of very, very high winds," Mr. Stelmach said in Slave Lake Monday, noting there was no loss of life. (RCMP say that's impossible to confirm until the rubble is searched).
However, families don't know whether their homes are still standing, when they can return, whether they'll get relief funding and what they should do in the meantime. (Mr. Stelmach said residents won't return for several days.) "Everybody's in here waiting for some kind of information," said Kevin Stephenson, 43. "I still want to know when I can go to my house, because my house is still standing."
For others, the answers aren't as easy.
The Horners don't know what to do. Their home of 17 years is gone. So too is Ms. Horner's livelihood, a bookkeeping business run out of what was once her family's basement. For now, a total of eight family members and five dogs are living in their RV in the sports complex parking lot.
"What do you go back to? There's rubble and car frames. That's it," Ms. Horner said, fighting back tears. "For now, we're living in this. This is our home."
She believes the response was too little, too late. She tried to complain to Mr. Stelmach and other cabinet ministers who visited Monday, but they visited the evacuee centre only briefly. She got no answers.
"If you think at any point that it could get out of control, you cannot wait. Give people a chance to get what they can," she said, adding: "People need to hear from more than the Premier talking about what they did. What about what they didn't do? And what they could have done?"Report Typo/Error

A recent study by scientists at the Ludwig Center for Cancer Immunotherapy offers a new, multifaceted therapy for destroying tumors. A team of researchers led by Dmitriy Zamarin combined checkpoint blockade, a technique aimed at enhancing antitumor immune responses, with oncolytic viral therapy, a technique that uses viruses to kill tumor cells. By employing the two immunotherapies together, the researchers had more success in destroying tumor cells than they have had while investigating each therapy independently.

annette, my .02 worth is that you should knock those bees off and then try to requeen. otherwise, you spend a lot of time. and brood from you other hive on something that may not work. wouldn't it be faster to just shake them out?
the swarm had been a pain with queens so i just combined with another hive, gave plenty of room and all is well so far. i haven't been in beekeeping long (second year) so i haven't run into a laying worker yet. that why i went on and combined because i heard that a laying worker is a pain. hope everything works out. millermann
Open brood will do. There are bound to be some young larvae on a frame of mostly open brood. Yes, in my experience it takes a frame of open brood every week for three weeks to set them right. Once doesn't do it.
i wonder how it would work to take a couple of frames of eggs and brood with nurse bees, and put them in a nuc for a few days. just long enough for them to start queen cells. then you could transfer those to the hive and hope for the best?

Our View
It's no secret Colorado House Bill 10-1365 is a point of contention between the coal and natural gas industries. But, recent news that Yampa Valley Partners' annual Energy Summit has been cancelled for that reason is alarming to the Editorial Board.
Communication between energy industries is critical to our economy and meeting the country's growing needs.
For years, Yampa Valley Partners' annual Energy Summit was something our community could count on to keep us up to speed on various issues facing the energy industries we depend on.
That is until recently.
YVP Director Kate Nowak announced in mid-January that her organization would no longer host the usually well-attended Energy Summit, much to the disappointment of the Editorial Board.
The root of the summit's cancellation is Colorado House Bill 10-1365, also known as the Clean Air, Clean Jobs Act.
For reasons we can understand, representatives from the coal industry simply don't want to sit in the same room as representatives from the oil and gas industry any longer.
Although understandable, it's still troubling.
We need to keep communication lines open, especially as our country's need for energy increases.
We also wonder if former Gov. Bill Ritter is happy with the divide and discontent he has created among the industries that make Colorado thrive.
It's really too bad a government action that has few benefits has proved to have so many far-reaching consequences.
The coal industry apparently has intentions to host a coal conference at some point during the year. That conference, Nowak said, would be more of a lobbying effort to educate legislators on the benefits of coal.
The Editorial Board believes that's an idea that holds merit.
It's clear that no matter the place or event, the coal industry needs to do more to reach out and make our legislators aware of the benefits of coal-generated power and the possibilities of clean coal technology.
This is not a time for the coal industry to bow out of the spotlight because it was beaten up by legislation last year.
Now is the time for the coal industry to lace up its gloves and publicly defend itself in front of a crowd of energy consumers and legislators.
But, the conversations between residents, government officials and the oil, gas and coal industries, like those once hosted at the Energy Summit, need to continue in order for us to be prepared for the future.
After all, we have a new governor and possibly a new friend to our industries in John Hickenlooper. Let's put the differences created by H.B. 10-1365 aside and come to the table for a good, healthy discussion.
And, if Colorado's energy industries can stand together, then maybe in the future there will be less of a chance for them to be picked off individually.

Baseboard heat cover
Hi: We are new homeowners of an old 1790s cape home. Some time in the past a baseboard heating system was installed throughout the home but the ugly white metal covers do not match the home.
In one room, the previous owner installed metal grilles from floor up 6" and then attached it to the wall with a 1"x 3" length of stained pine. Almost works but the wood makes us nervous and it's not quite right stylistically.
I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of using tile to cover the baseboard heating pipes? Similar in concept to the Swedish/Scandinavian Kakelugn where the ceramic tile helps to hold and slowly dissipates the heat.
I've had a hard time finding anything at all on the Web about gridwork tile or ventilated tile - i.e., tile that is not solid but is penetrated throughout with holes, perhaps similar to the top of a good cherry pie! This would allow the hot air to circulate through an release more readily into the room.
In lieu of finding 'holy tiles' we are also considered creating a metal grille base structure onto which we would attach tiles spaced out at regular intervals. However, we are not sure what kind of glue would be safe for such an attempt.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions all you experts and DIYers might have! Any leads to tile manufacturers who make these kinds of lacework tiles would be much appreciated!
Can you post a photo of this?
I have never seen any ventilated tiles. But, I will say there is no problem with wood against hotwater piping. The hottest temp water possible is @230f which poses no issue with wood. The pipes pass through floor boards and framing in millions of homes. I have seen baseboard with faux wood finishes to blend in. Just beware of cutting down free air flow through the baseboard as you will loose heating capacity.
Baseboard Heater Covers
If the tile with holes in it doesn't work out, you could try this easy solution: www.baseboardheatercovers.com
You would be crazy not to take a look at these new slip on covers. No tools are required for installation. You simply pop them on. The cool thing is they come with lifetime warranty and free shipping. Click Image To Take a Look!
I got all excited until I noticed the price on those...22 bucks per foot. Yikes!

drain hydronic system to replace baseboard heater
I need to drain water from to baseboard heater i remodeled to bathrm and thats the only thing i have to do (replace the heater)not sure about the way to go about this i know alittle about the boiler two zones,gas
need to know best way to do this
You will probably have to turn off the furnace and open the valve on its boiler to let the water out that way.
You cannot drain just one zone unless it has manually operated shutoff valves on both the outgoing and return pipes as well as a drain valve within the closed off section.
If you are clueless here the best thing is going to be a call to your local heating technician before you get in over your head.

First Coast-Jax-NE FL
I'm new to the area and new to the hobby. Any recommendations for local resources? I'd rather support local and family businesses than the big box stores. And it's always nice to "meet" your neighbors.
Bump. Anyone in this area?
I'm in Tallahassee. Not exactly the Jacksonville area. I posted recently with a similar inquiry and didn't get any responses either.
There's got to be more going on in Jax than in Tallahassee, cuz here there's pretty much nothing.
This area seems pretty sleepy too. Nice to "meet" you.
Hi, I'm in Lake City and your right, there ain't much.
I'll have to check out that place in Jax. Thanks!
Hey, nice to meet you both!
I have to agree with Tony on Aquatropics - the only one on his list that I've visited. Although, advice aside, I picked up some interesting plants there, and they had much better selection of fish than anyplace in Tallahassee.
In Tally, I like the PetCo fish dept. over the other choices, if only because their plants are not crawling with snails, and the sales people I've talked with actually keep aquariums at home. Jack there told me they will other less common fish. Since their shipment will include at least 6, the customer can choose which ones or none to buy. No shipping charges and if you don't like them, don't buy them. I'm thinking of getting some dwarf cichlids, but have been reluctant to do mail order, so this is sounding good.
Don't know if all PetCos do that though.
Hi Raz - I know this is me responding to your old post from last year, but here in Jacksonville Jolly's on the Westside is decent... they get in some okay plants and nice fish (FW and Salt). On the Northside, Pet Creations on North Main (just south of 9A and Main Street) has really good plants and used to have an amazing planted tank guru that worked there (sadly, he passed away). They still get in nice plants, but the fish selection for FW has dropped off. It is worth checking out, though. I was at AquaTropics yesterday and had a really good experience there. The guys I talked to knew their stuff and the Display Tank at the entrance (FW planted) is amazing. Really, really nice selection of plants... I mean - ALOT. I've been ordering from AZ Gardens for a while and was really happy with Aquatropics selection.
Hmmm.... just visited Pet Creations and Jolly's both yesterday. Pet Creations is practically a ghost town of supplies and plants - so skip it if you read this post. Jolly's has a lot of bad online reviews, but I have not had any bad experiences there. Plants are okay - supplies are decent.
I work at PetSupermarket on University most Thursdays, Friday and Saturday evenings. I just got back into my planted tank and if you ever have any questions, feel free to swing by and ask. We can also order plants for you specially if it is on our list. I'm always looking for people to talk to about planted tanks. Ask for Lyzette.
Welcome! If you get to the Tampa side of the state Marine Warehouse is pretty good.
If you can't find anything or don't feel like driving, I have have done a lot of business on here with no issues at all
I am in Jacksonville!! Brand new to Planted tank!!
There is
Petland on Hodges
Ocean Reef-you have to know what your doing.
I have heard there is a good store in St. Augustine and that is the place to get Fresh Water fish. But I don't know any names. Looking for some though .
Hi! Also new to the site, but have been trolling and feeding off of the various threads for months.
I like jolly's, although you have to be mindful of the pricing. I'm still kinda in a 'DIY' state, but about to break the bank for some better aquarium gear.
Jollys price gouges. Go to Exotic Aquatics. Ask for Nick (the owner) and tell him Per Anderton sent you. They are a young shop with a small space but have amazing prices on salt, a good selection of male african peacocks and are willing to special order anything for you much less than any shop in the local area.
The one good thing about jollys is that they have the selection of general FW and Plants but they see you as a number more than anything. They have a good selection of young peacocks and mbuna if you know what you are looking at (they didnt even know how to sex them). They have a decent selection of other SW fish as well.

Project Description2007 RADA
Affordable / Merit
The cobbled-together site of this affordable family-housing community presented Studio E Architects principal John Sheehan with a difficult task. "It was a patchwork of irregular shapes that met in an odd way," he explains. "Our challenge was to make sense of it."
He and project designer Kevin Nivinskus didn't try to force a sense of cohesion through architectural homogeneity. Instead, they emphasized the downtown San Diego project's eclectic nature by breaking it into several buildings. Varied color schemes and detailing give each one its own distinct design identity. An existing historic building was restored for use as a meeting and exhibition space. And a landscaped walkway winds all the way through the community, providing the connective tissue that holds the buildings and public spaces together.
"There's great pedestrian access," said one judge. "It's very simple but looks classy. It feels good."

A study by Bell, et al assessed the accuracy of panoramic radiography in preoperatively predicting mandibular third molar root configuration and proximity of roots to the mandibular canal. The study involved 219 patients for whom 300 third molar extractions were planned. The qualitative endpoints of preoperative evaluation of the radiographs were the type of impaction; number of roots; presence or absence of root fusion; presence, direction, and magnitude of root curvature; and the relationship of roots to the mandibular canal. During surgery the extraction socket was examined to assess the relationship between the tooth and the mancibular canal, and postoperatively, tooth fragments were reunited with glue, and the angle of root curvature, length of each root, and width of the last 2 mm of curvatures were measured. The study found that panoramic radiography is not sensitive for detection of mandibular molar root curvature and for close association of roots to the mandibular canal. Panoramic radiography does reveal certain preoperative information not assessed by this study, such as root length and tooth inclination.

Hey, getting straight to the point i need to kill some time here and there and just wondered if there's a good addicting fun MMO/RPG game out there to lay a few hours into
Hey, getting straight to the point i need to kill some time here and there and just wondered if there's a good addicting fun MMO/RPG game out there to lay a few hours into
Please make more specific requests if you want to get useful replies. ^^
Most addicting for me were: Ragnarok Online, MapleStory, ROSE Online, Fiesta Online, Dragonica, Allods, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Dragon Nest and Aion.
Dungeons and dragons is really good, you dont have to farm/grind 2months to be able to fully enjoy the game since the "dungeons" is enjoyable at lvl 1, but at higher lvl they are getting a bit harder (which leads to improve your game play tactics) and more "advanced" (like at lvl 1 dungeons you dont see much traps and if you see them- its easy to avoid them, and at harder lvls traps become harder to see and easier to get in to them which mostly leads to death isnt it fun? thats why you need various different classes in party- you dont want to run with 5 barbarians in party) and wahtever lvl you are you can allways find a party (its mostly party based game since it gives more fun and better chance to complete dungeon/Quest (like i said 5barbars are mostly useless- you need at least one healer (for heal n resurrect), rogue (for finding traps/disable them and unlockin doors/treasure chests) and of course some kick ass but beatin dmg dealer
+ its really easy to find players for party (full party is 6 players, for raid boss there is more) and you can buy "hireling" (which is cheap n useful) who will use party slot- he will fallow you and depending on your wish he will attack enemys, unlock stuff, heal and so on) so if you cant find much ppl for party (in 1month i never had a problem with finding players but oh well) you can invite 1-2 players and use hirelings- 3 players (including you) +3hirelings= full party.
also the game dmg count system might be strange n alien at the start but once you know how it works it seems really simple.
i think its the best game if you want to spend 1-2 hours per day.
Finally someone who understands the charm of DDO.
If you want decent PvP without having to spend
weeks of lvling and farming gear now. I suggest
Dragon Nest. Use a week or two to get capped
(lvl 40) then start PvP'ing. Most places in colo
ur gear has no saying. So you could PvP naked if
you wanted. Evry1 is equal ^^D
If you wanna spend some more time and still have
awesome PvP I suggest Aika. It's faction based (got
5 nations) and have raiding/defending + other stuff every
single day. But you'd have to reach a cap of lvl 80.
(lvl 85 cap is coming next month with a huge update)
is it true? you can pvp naked in dragon nest n still beat the crap out of other people?
Yup, pretty much. Playing skill is 80% and gear 20% in that game.
might try it then... even if i dont like anime games...maybe it will be another foundation as D&D online

Fandom: xxxHOLiC/Card Captor Sakura.
Warnings: None.
Characters/couples: Clow/Yuuko.
Summary: It had been long years since Yuuko had stopped making excuses for doing the things she did around Clow.
Rating: G.
Notes: Inspired by that recent splash of Clow with his hair undone.
In a Winter Wonderland.
Her bed was still warm but very much empty. Yuuko opened her eyes slowly, trying to mitigate the headache that was ready to start buzzing on her temples and the back of her head, and for a moment she dreaded that Clow had been enough of a bastard to open the curtains for her to see 'the beautiful morning', and curse the gods that had made it so that the man never got hungover.
But no, her room was empty and mercifully dark. Yuuko's hand, still pressed to the sheets where he should have been, curled a little on the empty space and she tried to curl into the tightest, littlest ball of a person she could under the covers, doing her best to fall back asleep. It had been a good night with no dreams, even though the alcohol might have helped a little bit for that.
But when ten minutes passed and she couldn't fall back asleep and her headache kept on pounding, Yuuko realized it was a lost battle and she stood up slowly, reaching for her sleeping robe... which wasn't there.
She had but one moment of confusion before she just pushed the covers from her legs and stood up as slowly as it was humanly possible, taking notice that Clow hadn't left a glass of water on her nighttable. That, more than anything, confirmed that he probably had just woken up: if not, there'd be water and aspirins by her bedside and Moro and Maru would be up, cheerfully helping as Clow made an English breakfast, heavy on the fried food just to be a smartass.
Yuuko walked then out of her room, following almost without thinking about it the thread of magic that was so very Clow, the one he could never conceal even if he tried. She wasn't sure if she arrived where she did because of that leading her of it merely was because she knew him, and Clow was very much a morning person, for all that he was also a night one when it mattered.
She winced at the unexpected brightness, her whole garden covered in white, the first snow of the season. She shielded her eyes with her hand but there he was, sitting on her veranda, wearing her sleeping robe, his hair untied and falling over his shoulders, his profile highlighted by the early morning sun. He had just one cup of tea by his side, the steam barely visible.
Yuuko felt a shiver running down her back and her headache wasn't getting any better, so she walked towards him. She would have stomped, but she doubted that would help her hungover state.
"You're wearing my robe," Yuuko muttered around a yawn and a wince, sitting by his side as close as possible. He was warm, at the very least, and it definitely was way too early to be up. Besides, it had been years since she had stopped making excuses for doing the things she did around Clow. With him, things just were, no questions and no explanations, for better or for worse.
"You're up early, dearest," Clow muttered, and perhaps he was also half awake, Yuuko thought. His voice had been just a whisper, and while he didn't sound chipper, he didn't sound sad either.
His arm curled around her shoulders, friendly, and she felt his hand on her neck. His hand was cool, but Clow moved it carefully down the slide of her hair up the nape of her hair and Yuuko sighed, because it almost felt as if that was taking care of her headache. Which he could but he wouldn't and she was thankful for that. The small thing like that were important, and that was were freedom rested: not in what they could do but in what they wouldn't.
"You're up early," Yuuko complained, just to say something. Her head was against his shoulder, and this close she could smell the lavender and opium of her robe and the witch-hazel from his cologne.
He didn't quite chuckle, and if not for the fear of the bright day making her headache worse, Yuuko would have opened her eyes to see his expression. His smile was in his voice but she was sure his eyes were probably distant, trapped in a different world.
"I dreamed it was snowing*," was all Clow said.
There were several ways to answer to that. Was it a dream or a Dream? Had there been anyone else in his dreams? What color had the snow been, what else had there been inside his dream?
But he didn't sound particularly upset, which he would if it had been a bad dream, and he didn't sound as tired as he would if his dream had been extremely vivid. So Yuuko opted for the option that at the very least would most likely amuse him.
"I'm not working until after I've had breakfast and my head isn't killing me anymore," she muttered instead.
Clow didn't quite laugh out loud, but she felt his laugh, gentle as a thought, with the way his chest trembled and the soft huff of breath from his mouth, and that was more than enough.
* In dreams, Snow can be a symbol of hope or a symbol of a wish fulfilled.

I just finished a wonderful book! The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time is a masterpiece, written by Mark Haddon, a famous English children's book writer who decided to write this book for adults.
That's a sequence of curious events in the life of a 15-year-old boy, called Christopher, with Asperger syndrome. It's narrated by himself in a very unique way, telling his efforts to write a book about a small crime that has happened in his street while intercalating the story with his gifted mathematical and logical insights.
A curious thing is that chapters are numbered after prime numbers, rather than conventional successive numbers. The last chapter is 233, which is the 51° prime number. In the chapter 19, he describes a simple algorithm to figure out prime numbers. In his words:
"… you write down all the positive whole numbers in the world. Then you take away all the numbers that are multiples of 2. Then you take away all the numbers that are multiples of 3. Then you take away all the numbers that are multiples of 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and so on. The numbers that are left are prime numbers"
In one of his insights, he used to get someone's name, give each letter a value from 1 to 26 and sum the values of each letter of the name to check whether the total is a prime number. So, I thought it would be fun to explore this unique way of seeing things using Clojure. First, we create a map of letters and numbers, where the letters are keys in a map and numbers are their respective values:
(def numbered-alphabet {\a 1 \b 2 \c 3 \d 4 \e 5 \f 6 \g 7 \h 8 \i 9 \j 10 \k 11 \l 12 \m 13 \n 14 \o 15 \p 16 \q 17 \r 18 \s 19 \t 20 \u 21 \v 22 \w 23 \x 24 \y 25 \z 26 \space 0})
The keys are literal characters and the numbers are positive integers. Using the map, we sum the characters of a name:
(defn sum-characters [name] ; lower-casing the name to keep the map small (let [name (clojure.string/lower-case name)] ; given a sequence of characters, reduce it to the sum ; of the respective numbers. (reduce #(+ (if (char? %1) (get numbered-alphabet %1) %1) (get numbered-alphabet %2)) (seq name)))) (sum-characters "hildeberto") >> 98
Is 98 a prime number? No, because it's even and even numbers have at least 3 divisors: 1, 2 and itself. The algorithm that applies this one and other rules is the following:
(defn is-prime [x] (if (or (= x 2) (= x 3)) true ; eliminate even numbers (if (even? x) false ; Number is odd, so it deserves some more attention. ; After eliminating even numbers, the maximum divisor ; of a number is less than its square root (let [max-div (Math/ceil (Math/sqrt x))] (loop [i 3] (if (zero? (rem x i)) false (if (> i max-div) ; it is a prime number true (recur (inc i))))))))) (is-prime (sum-characters "Hildeberto")) >> false
That's a pity my own name doesn't sum up to a prime number, but the book gave some names to test the code:
(is-prime (sum-characters "Jesus Christ")) >> true (is-prime (sum-characters "Scooby Doo")) >> true (is-prime (sum-characters "Sherlock Holmes")) >> true (is-prime (sum-characters "Doctor Watson")) >> true
Wait a minute… he uses first and last names! So, let me test with mine:
(is-prime (sum-characters "Hildeberto Mendonca")) >> true
Yeeeeeesssss! I'm prime-numered!!!

Biggest sub center console in yj?
Just looking for ideas for a sub box being the center console pics are great and what are the max size subs that I can fit in a box between the seats would like to get 12" if I could? I had a bazooka tube but blew it up in 3days looking for good boom when I want it. I also thought about 2 10". What is the best set up? I already have a 5 channel alpine amp. Thanks.
For a YJ, the largest I've ever seen was a 10" in the center console without removing the console and building your own. I have heard of someone building a completely custom center console with fiberglass and a 13.5" JL. For the best center console, I would go with either a single 8 or a single 10. If you are handy with building fancy boxes, I would go with a single 10 or 12 inside the rear seat.
My jeep never had a center console in it. So I can pretty much build what I need I'm just looking for any kind of ideas and feedback. Why go with a single instead of a double?
go with a single 8". if you can fit it i suggest the Sundown Audio SD-2 8" its 500 watt rms, and puts out deep clean bass in a small package. a friend of mine has 2 in his car and it sounds like there are 2 12's back there.
It depends on the type of music that you want the subs for. If its hip hop, then I've read that 2-10" subs are best. If its not Hip Hop then a single sub will suffice. I have a Alpine amp too, the PDX-V9, and I have the trunk molded sub box with 2-10" MTX subs, 400RMS, and it sounds great with all music especially Hip Hop. It really brings "Maria, Maria" to life. I have the MTX Audio Thunderform(below picture). It's a little pricey and its for a TJ, but it thumps. It depends on what space you want to sacrifice for your subs. The trunk is best, I think. Check out these guys, they might give you ideas.
Car Audio Sound | Subwoofer (Subs), Amplifier (Amps), Speaker, Enclosure | by MTX Audio
I also found this one, for a YJ, and it looks pretty awesome. And, it claims to be 400watts RMS.
Jeep speaker / subwoofer kit, Wrangler and CJ center console speaker box / kit
This is mine in my TJ, just the tan one instead of the black. But, the black looks rad, so I posted it instead. Not sure if it will fit a YJ though. Just another idea.
when it comes to what you listen to a sealed box is best for rock and a ported is best for deeper frequencies found in rap and hip hop. a good 400-600wat rms will do the trick either way.
Does anyone have any blue prints for a 10in sub box?
Caraudio.com forum has free plans
just pick a sub made for small enclosures, doesnt need to be a shallow mount.
I'm getting a 12in Rockford fosgate tomorrow from my cousin to see if I can make it work some how. I'm pretty positive that I can I did a few drawings tonight and I can get I max of 2 cubic feet so I think that I should be good but will experiment with it at a later date once I get it.
I got the 12in and it'll fit between the seats about 3in off of the floor facing downward. Does this setup sound ok?
I got the console made and sub in it. The sub is really old and only 200 watt max so it has great sound quality but by bazooka tube is louder and has more tone than the 12in Rockford fosgate. I think I'm going to swap it out for a kicker and mount Rockford fosgate on the front of console in stead of inside because it has good sound quality it's just not that loud.
Pics? I saw a really nice molded console/sub for a YJ.
They come loaded and unloaded. about 200 for console, and another 150 lock and loaded.

Economic Development
On the Slopes of Texas
"Fake" parks are the newest breed of sports venues.
If all goes as planned, starting in 2009 skiers and snowboarders will have another ski hill to conquer, in--of all places--Dallas, Texas. The Big D, of course, is mostly flat and receives an average snowfall of only 2.5 inches per year. Yet it will be home to America's first indoor/outdoor ski resort.
The $375 million Coolzone Winterplex will feature a 60-acre hill that rises 20 stories and is covered in a lattice-like "carpet" that imitates the properties of snow but doesn't need to be kept cold. Dallas' ski resort, which will also feature a concert venue, an ice trail and a skating rink, is just one example of a new breed of attractions opening in cities around the country.
These so-called "fake parks" are bringing year-round activities that mimic nature to urban areas. Skiing is the last thing most people would ever think to do in the Lone Star State. But it didn't escape developers' notice that a hefty number of the more than 58 million skiers and snowboarders who will hit the slopes in the United States this year are Texans. One partner in the Coolzone venture, Steve Baker of the Baker Leisure Group, believes Dallas "is a strong market" for the new park.
According to Susan Mosedale, executive vice president of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, developers "do a lot of studies and economic analyses before they even break ground." In 2005, 335 million people visited more than 600 amusement parks in the United States and spent an estimated $11.2 billion. "These investors have an idea before they open for business how many people their attraction is likely to draw, where these people will come from and how much they'll spend," Mosedale says.
A survey taken by the IAAPA this year found that almost half of Americans surveyed cited "non-summer" as their favorite time for visiting an amusement park. This trend is evident in the increasing number of year-round indoor water parks. A few months ago, for instance, the world's first convertible water park opened on Galveston Island in Texas. Wasserfest can be transformed from an outdoor water wonderland to a cloistered water world in less than eight minutes with the closing of its translucent walls and roofs.
Ron Jon--the surf shop best known for its colorful T-shirts--is opening a surfing park in Orlando, Florida. It claims to be the world's first and only wave pool built specifically for surfers and bodyboarders. It can produce a full spectrum of wave types, from slow, peeling 3-footers to 8-foot barrels that roll 60 to 100 yards down a big saltwater pool.
Artificial whitewater river courses exist in urban areas for elite competition throughout Europe. And indoor ski resorts are also a familiar attraction abroad. There already are about 35 indoor ski resorts in the world--most of them in Japan--and by now, almost everyone has heard about Dubai's indoor resort--the third largest in the world.
The first such high-adventure sports park in the United States opened in Cleveland just last year. Avid mountain-biker Ray Petro, frustrated by the sport's weather-dependent nature, opened the world's only indoor mountain biking venue inside an old converted warehouse that now sports an obstacle course of wooden ramps, turns and tracks.
The emergence of fake parks may speak to Americans' desire to have every recreational option in their own backyard. Jeff Wise, the visionary behind the $35 million nonprofit U.S. National Whitewater Center, dreamed up the 307-acre river course after he got "tired of driving three hours" every time he wanted to raft. The center, now open, sits 10 miles outside Charlotte along the slow-moving Catawba River. It is the world's only multi-channel course and the largest re- circulating artificial whitewater river in existence. The center has already attracted three-time U.S. Olympic slalom kayaker Scott Shipley to train, but Wise maintains he's more excited about the guided rafting tours offered to the general public.
If fake parks take hold, a growing number of Americans will need to drive only a few minutes to get a version of the experience residents of Summit County, Colorado, or Waikiki, Hawaii, already enjoy. And Dallas' new slogan "Live Large. Think Big" may need to be revised again soon--to read "Live Large. Think Big. Ski Year-Round."

January 27, 2011
This week's storm in a teacup was when Chinese pianist Lang Lang played the Chinese song "My Motherland" at a US state dinner for visiting Chinese functionaries. The song is a gushy old patriotic thing—you can inspect the lyrics here and see it sung in its original movie setting here—from the mid-1950s, when mainland Chinese people were congratulating themselves on having fought the USA to a draw in Korea.
There are all sorts of things to be said about that, beginning with the fact that both China and the North Korean regime they supported were totalitarian despotisms led by megalomaniacal dictators. Among the Chinese who were not congratulating themselves for the Korean stalemate were the million or so country landlords and other "enemies of the people" murdered in Mao Tse-tung's early 1950s class-struggle purges. After half a century of warlordism, invasion, and civil war, the great majority of un-persecuted Chinese people were glad to be experiencing social order.
So what if Third Uncle's brother-in-law who owned a bit of land in the next province over had been clubbed to death by angry peasants for being a counterrevolutionary element? So what if the wife's cousin's best friend, who'd fought for Chiang Kai-shek, had been sent to a labor camp? There was rice in the bowl and the kids were going to school. In 1956, Maoism's real nation-gutting horrors—the Great Leap Forward, the famines, the Cultural Revolution—had yet to occur.
And fighting the USA to a draw was a heck of an achievement for a peasant army racked and impoverished by that half-century of chaos. They liked "My Motherland." The song hung around long enough to detach itself from its original context. They still like it. I can't say it's my cup of tea, but it wasn't meant for me. It was meant for them.
So far as I can judge, Lang Lang has no interest in politics or in scoring points off the US president. Now 28, Lang Lang was born in the Manchurian city of Shenyang a few weeks before I passed through the place in 1982. (My main recollection of the city is of a huge socialist-realist monument in the central square, masses of sculpted heroic workers, peasants, and soldiers surging forward to victory, the whole grotesque thing precisely the color of shit.) The China he grew up in is the China I know from having lived there, visited subsequently, and married into—my "country-in-law," as Mrs. D. says. It is a China that can't be bothered much with politics.
Lang Lang is still a Chinese citizen, actually a resident of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. He is patriotic, and he's entitled to be. Even if he were a US citizen, it would be perfectly natural and normal for him to have tender feelings toward his motherland. First-generation US citizens generally do, unless they belonged to some subjugated minority in the old country.
Nothing is more human than sentimental warmth toward your birth country and the religion of your childhood. Even I, though less disposed than most to that kind of thing, experience a twinge of affection when I see the queen on TV or hear something equivalent to "My Motherland." (Vera Lynn singing "The White Cliffs of Dover" will do it.) I wouldn't live in today's Britain if you paid me a salary to do so, but if I felt no emotions toward the place I'd be less than human. I nurse similar affection for Christianity, even though I don't believe a word of it.
First-generation citizens such as myself are only ever half-citizens, however much we strive to fit in. You can't shut off your normal feelings for your motherland unless your motherland was exceptionally beastly to you. Even then, I have known German Jews of the Hitler generation who still thought proudly of themselves as German.
What would be unnatural and undesirable would be for subsequent generations—America-born and America-raised—to feel that kind of bond for their ancestral nation above what they feel for America. People who urge that kind of thing are doing something wicked and ought to be exposed to public shaming, as ought the politicians who employ them.
I would be willing to cut Lang Lang some slack for liking patriotic Chinese songs even if he'd taken out US citizenship. Since he hasn't, I'm glad without qualification to know that he loves his country as a person should. When the Olympics are on TV my wife roots for the Chinese teams. Why wouldn't she? She's Chinese. She's a US citizen, sure, and glad to be one, but…Chinese. The kids root for America.
The pathology on display at that White House event was not Lang Lang's. He's a normal, well-adjusted human being. The abnormality was in his being asked to play for the visiting ChiComs. At a nation-to-nation event like that, a self-respecting host would put his own nation on display to the visitors. That is what normally happens. When Richard Nixon made his celebrated 1972 opening-up visit to China, he was obliged to sit through a performance of the "revolutionary ballet" Red Detachment of Women.
If the president of the United States pays a state visit to Romania, he will be entertained by a Romanian folk-dance troupe. It would be thought odd if his hosts brought in an American to do a Martha Graham routine. Likewise, when foreign leaders visit the White House, they should be shown something American: a display of country fiddling or square dancing or Delta blues.
Why did Obama and his staff bring in a Chinese national to entertain the visiting cadres? You know perfectly well why. It's the same impulse that drives Obama to bow to emirs and sultans, to gush in his autobiography about his soulful Kenyan relatives, and to want illegal Mexican residents to have rights and subsidies not available to US citizens. It's the multicultural cringe.
I applaud Lang Lang as an honest patriot. I only wish our ruling class had half as much love for their country as Lang Lang has for his.

Had a BAD DAY changing my oil today!!!
First off, I couldn't find my oil drain container. (the kind with the lid):banghead:
Ran to the store, bought a cheap open top plastic pan.
Got home and let the engine cool. Drank a beer.
Crawled under and drained the pan. Drank a beer.
Popped the hood, slid the filter wrench over the filter (here's where it gets good) The wrench slipped off the filter and out of my hands and under the jeep, right next to the open top container full of oil.:banghead: I thought to myself..."that would have sucked had it went into that pan...I think I better have a another beer.
Slipped the wrench back over the filter, and it came off again and out of my hands and this time INTO THE OIL PAN!!!:banghead: Small bit of oil on the garage floor. Drank a beer.
Fished out the wrench, wiped it off and figured 3rd time is the charm. Drank a beer.
Unscrewed the filter, and IT SLIPPED OUT OF MY HAND and directly into the....you guessed it, the cheap, open top oil pan.:banghead: An extremely large amount of oil on the garage floor now.:banghead: Drank 2 beers.:D
Buttoned everything back up, backed out of the garage, and only had about half the floor dry I needed to soak up the mess.:banghead: Drank another beer.
Scooped up some sand/dirt from around our pool, threw it down on the oil and got it cleaned up the best I could. Drank a beer.
Took my 5qt empty jug of Valvoline Max, positioned it between 2 blocks of wood, placed a funnel in the opening, and poured the used oil back into the jug. Spilled a good portion out in the gravel drive.:banghead: Drank a beer.
Wiped my hands off, flipped off the jeep, :flipoff: drank another beer, and went inside the house to re-evaluate my performance. (as I drank another beer)
I'm competent enough to change the oil in my jeep without getting a speck of oil on me, but after re-evaluating my performance this time, I think I need to......get a new oil drain pan!!!:eek:
Thanks for listening.
Sorry about your luck, But hey, you got to enjoy twelve beers during this fiasco :D
dude that made my * day!

I can't drink beer while I work on my Jeep, I'd be getting hurt or screw something up if I did. :D
I had a friend who drank a lot of beer over the years while he worked on his Jeep and he ended up with this. :rofl:
Actually, I failed to mention that after draining the old oil and finally getting the new filter on, my oil cap was stuck and would not unscrew. So, I had a beer, then walked over to the tool box, grabbed a flat head screw driver, pryed off the outer shell of the cap, took some channel locks and unscrewed the rest of the cap from the valve cover. Drank a beer. Then poured in the new oil. Didn't spill any of the new oil though!! Celebrated that by drinking another beer!!
I can only assume there were a couple of piss breaks in between beers somewhere.
You're correct Atthehop....Between the 9th and 10th....by then though, I had taken off my latex gloves...therefore, still had fairly clean hands in order to hold my junk!
Jerry, that jeep had to be stolen from a local Shriner's Temple out here in Oklahoma. Most Shriner's drive the little mini cars, but in Oklahoma, they would have something like that jeep!!
T-BONE, tomorrow we better not read a post from you wondering how beer got in your crankcase...:confused::confused::confused:
I don't think I would post by questioning how beer got in there......It will probably read something like this. "Is Budweiser a good lubricant for the 4.0 crankcase?"

might start drinking after you get finished next time. works better for me at least.
I have found that drinking while I clean/polish/wax a car makes the process that should take 2-3 hrs, take more like 5...:zap:
Bit of advice though as I have many years of oil changes while drinking beer under my belt. It isnt the open oil pan that is the problem....it it the fact that you are climbed up on the jeep holding your self up with one hand, while holding the beer in the very same hand.....then you are trying to reach for the filter with the other hand.
From now one when you get on top of the jeep...set the beer on the battery, the bumper, or the motor, and you should be fine.
But then again....if you did it that way, you would have only had 2 beers while changing your oil....instead of 12.
I think I will try your way this weekend!
HAHAHA ... made my day as well!!
Jerry ... I bet no one can "chadwick" that Jeep!
Ha, chadwick! it was just a "little pond" that turned into a Huge lake
At least you remembered to screw in your oil drain plug!!! It only takes one beer to get me drunk!! Can't remember if it's the 12th or 13th.
thats one of them alabamer lifts!

Yes SPDNJOE, that's why I commented again, a couple replies later......I realized I left out the part about pouring in the new oil.

This place is great when it comes to watching a sports event because there's TVs all over the place. Great prices on beer pitchers, too. The only problem with the place is that the food isn't very good. It's over fried and way too greasy. As long as you learn to eat before you show up to watch the game, then it's great place to hang out.

Mets fans should stay in Queens and not come to the city to watch a ball game.

I came here with a group of 6 friends on championship sunday last weekend. If you're looking for a place to watch a game, definitely go to firefly. They have at least ten projection screen tv's, great wings, and friendly staff.
We had to wait for a table, so we started with drinks at the bar. The bartenders were awesome. She made me a mean cocktail and got my friends drinks out fast.
At the table, our waitress was equally awesome. She convinced us to get a keg of miller lite for the game, and I definitely don't regret that decision! The food was good too, the wings and seared tuna salad were my fav. Throughout the game, she took good care of us and was really hilarious and friendly.
I definitely recommend this place. Probably gonna come back for superbowl.

I visited firefly for the first time last week and I absolutely loved it! We went there on a Saturday night and had a blast. The dj played really fun, obscure music that you don't typically hear in other bars. She (the dj) even took a few requests from us. All in all we had a great time and definitely will be returning.

I was out with few friends celebrating a birthday. We were sitting at the bar for about 45 minutes having drinks. Shortly after ordering a second round, a man entered ,checked us out for a couple of seconds and walked toward the back. A minute latter, the bartender handed us the check asking us to pay it. At first I though the bartender was closing up his shift and needed to settle the check but he said that the owner (the guy that checked us out) told him to ask us to leave. I approached the owner and wanted to know the reason, his answer was that none of us had American Ids. The bouncer was very pleasant and we had no problem getting in. That was a totally racist call for some very unprofessional reason where at Firefly, the color of your skin dictates the rules if you can stay and have to be asked to leave. Very sad to experience in NYC in the 21 st Century.

As I wrote on Yelp,
Living in the neighborhood and being an avid sports fan I was looking for a place my out of town friends and I could really get into March Madness. Immediately thought of Firefly for some good drinks, food and fun.
We were not disappointed.
As busy as it was we were able to promptly get our gnosh and our drinks and cheer DUKE! Totally coming back for final game.
Having been in the business, I was surprised at how efficient the bartenders were. In particular I was pleased to see ex Mexican Radio bartender Johnny G serving us. SO glad he's still in the neighborhood!!
Granted the amount of Pita bread you get is pathetic, the fried chicken and sliders are amazing. And it's always nice when the bartender actually pays attention to your needs no matter how many people are screaming for drinks. Definitely will now be a repeat customer on Johnny's nights even if a game isn't on.

I have been to Firefly many times with my family and groups of friends. The people working there always remember us, and are extremely friendly. Service was friendly and professional and the food was delicious. The prices are reasonable and it's a nice atmosphere.
This is also a great place to watch games. I think they have around 16 large screens- AMAZING! No matter where you sit you are guaranteed a great view of the game. Definitely one of the best places in the city to watch any game. I highly recommend this place as do my friends and family. You wont be disappointed!

Love this place! Coming back for March Madness, 1st time was last year. TV's are great! You can see any game from any angle! Good crowd for games, staff is cute and you can get a beer tower for all your friends at a table. Nice experience, def be back next year!

I called into this bar last year to meet somebody for a quick drink. I thought the bar looked nice but i took very little notice as it was only a short visit.
I visited again recently with a group of friends for a meal and we had an amazing time. The bar was quite crowded because of some ice hockey game but we were sat very quickly and made feel very welcome by a friendly waitress with blonde hair. Our food came out quickly and was really tasty and we ended up staying longer then expected with the help of some very tasty cocktails.
Im glad i came back again to feel the charm of this bar and ill be making a return visit.

Me and my friends have been going here on and off for a while late night on Saturdays. The music there is really good on this night but we can't hear it! For the past month or so it has been really quiet. I asked the little manager with the tie the last time we were there and he said that that's as loud as it goes because of noise complaints. Oh well. Hopefully they will figure out a way to turn it up or there's really no point in going there anymore. It's really one of the only places in soho that has good music, and I have a few events coming up so im gonna have to schedule them elsewhere...

The chairman of the Maine Oil Dealers Association says he sees ":a desperate customer base,": and David Martin, also the V.P. of Webber Oil, says the state can expect to see fewer dealerships.
He says some dealers are extending credit to too many customers, while others are losing money by making smaller deliveries than they should.
The result, according to Martin, is that a lot of oil companies that have been around for generations are going out of business.
Martin addressed the heat and energy emergency task force in Augusta Wednesday.
Oil is currently running at about $4 a gallon, but Martin says ":nobody knows": what the price will be when the cold weather hits.

Bioware had a short trailer of its new science-fiction RPG, and were on hand to run interested journalists through the concepts of the game. It's a completely new world for the Knights of the Old Republic developer, set in the 23rd century with humanity exploring the solar system and struggling for a place in the wider cosmos. As the commander of a starship and its crew, your actions will help shape humanity's destiny.
This being a Bioware game, that means you can take multiple good or evil paths and either fight to promote and defend humanity's interests, or just scam around looking out for number one. The gameplay is a departure from previous Bioware games, though this is still, very firmly, an RPG. We're promised a more intuitive interface, with combat similar to a tactical 3D shooter (though it will, we're told, not run at too frantic a pace for RPG fans).
There's a huge galaxy out there, with scores of uncharted worlds that provide side-quests and gameplay opportunities, but there is still plenty of dialogue and a compelling main story, told with the help of the most advanced "digital actor†technology around. Mass Effect might promise a lot, but just when has Bioware not delivered?

Death Valley - Titus Canyon
As Titus Canyon Road in Death Valley reaches the foothills, it starts to climb and meander among the sagebrush and red rock outcroppings. The road becomes steeper and narrower as it approaches Red Pass, amply named for its red rocks and dirt. Enjoy the ride!
Rainbow Bridge National Monument
DesertUSA takes you to Rainbow Bridge, the world's largest natural bridge. It is considered sacred by the Navajo Indians, for whom personified rainbows have stood as guardians of the universe. The bridge's predominant color is salmon-pink, with dark stains called desert varnish, caused by iron oxide (hematite). Afternoon sunlight makes the coloration especially brilliant.
