Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
Easy AND good
I made this for dinner for my husband and myself and I was pleasantly surprised. It was very easy and quick to make! I made the whole recipe without saving any to freeze and it turned out wonderful. My husband went back for seconds! I would suggest maybe using half a can of refried beans instead of a whole can, and I also used enchilada sauee to coat the bottom of the pan and then a mix of sauce and salsa on the top. I fully recommend this to anyone who wants a quick delicious meal. Definitely going into my recipe book!
I made this for dinner last night and we have no leftovers! Everyone LOVED IT! It was easy to make, although the list of ingredients didn't include the onions and olives that was in the directions. I read the reviews and I used the medium salsa too-what a great idea! I did add some garlic when I cooked the ground beef. I have already been asked to make it again.
Very Good!
We loved this dish. It was a big hit. My little girl can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow. It was really easy to make. I used medium salsa instead of mild though.
lowfat and great taste
Pretty good recipe, also inexpensive, and lowfat. I did use manicotti instead of shells, and enchilada sauce instead of salsa. Other than that, great recipe.
Great flavor & pretty easy to make. One of the best low fat recipes I have made.

Re: Re-Barrel and chamber a Weatherby ?
I am primarily a Weatherby shooter. Due to this I have worked on literally hundreds of Weatherby rifles that others have not been able to get them to shoot accurately. Many of the top gunsmiths do not like them due to there ignorance of the physics of a Weatherby is totally different than other Mauser copy cats. First a Weatherby is freebored. Due to this they like very hard bullets. This is why EVERYONE stated the partition is a good shooting bullet for Weatherbys. The only problem is it really is a short range bullet with unsatisfactory BC. Use a Barnes LRX or TTSX. Hornady GMX might do but I have not tried them. Nosler Accubond has gave some promising results in some calibers. The bullet must be matched to the twist of the barrel to achieve the accuracy your looking for. When loading forget the manufactures COAL ant fit the coal to the max that the rifle can handle reliably. Use only Win Mag primers or Fed 215. Win Mag primers are better no mater what the internet says. If you have a lightweight you can stress relieve the barrel but very little comes out of this. If you rebarrel be sure to use a CUT RIFLED BARREL. I use only Krieger or Barlien. If your a internet warrior and read about all the great long range bullets out there they are for other low powered rifles. I have never seen a Weatherby shoot a Berger, Sierra, AMAX, or any other thin skinned bullet to my standards. I read about it but I don't believe it. Weatherbys tend to rip and distort the thin soft jackets of the "accurate" bullets. The freebore distorts the ogive and hence accuracy issues result. This is what your experiencing. This is why tuning Weatherbys is almost a second job to me. Do the obvious work as far as bedding in the right manner and Jard makes a trigger for them. If you want to get rid of it I will sell it for you if you want a reasonable price. I have a list of people wanting these for a lower price so they can tune them. By the way the best long range, hard hitting manufacture built rifle tuned correctly is the 338-378 Weatherby Accumark with a 280 or 265 Barnes bullet designed for the Lapua. Out of the box with little tuning 3/8 groups at 100 is standard. FACTORY BARREL. Good luck. If you practice this you definetly will not buy any other rifle. and will turn in to a Weatherby man!

I have a friend that has a state of the art machine shop. He is not a smith but he is willing to help me If I could find someone that could advise us as to what is important that we do ie (True action, Lap lugs, reamer depth, or what ever needs to be done t omake it a shooter) I am willing to try. As opposed to selling the whole thing for less than I will have to pay for a action alone!
On the other hand if anyone knows a smith that specializes in Weatherbys. I would have it done there.
I posted for such a smith on here a year or so ago . A guy was recommended In Austin TX (4 hours away from my home) who was supposed to be really good.
I spoke to him a few times and for about an hour each time I was informed, enlightened, and embellished to about how he was the greatest gun smith who ever lived. All the Kings, Presidents, Gun Magazines and such had begged for him to write articles, impart knowledge and enlighten them and or there readers from his vast storehouse of wisdom and expertise.
He finally agreed to work on my gun but it would be at least 6 months for him to get to it. After waiting on him for over 6 months he called at 5 the morning of the day I was to take it to him to say he just didn't have time.
I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions anyone has.
Dave Young of Young's Gunsmithing has a great deal of experience with Mark V's. He has worked on hundreds, maybe thousands of them. They are his favorite factory action based on my conversations with him.
He usually promises completion with in 3 months of receiving all components.
He is in Tracy (Sand Coulee) Montana. 406-736-5367

Re: Re-Barrel and chamber a Weatherby ?
Where are you in Tx exactly? My Mark V is on it's 3rd barrel, so I've done this a couple of times. There is nothing special about rebarreling a Weatherby, and while my latest barrel on my 6XC (not on a Mark V action) is a cut rifled barrel, the last two barrels on my 338/378 have been button rifled barrels from Shilen. I've been very happy with both of them. Shilen can do the work in house, but there are other smiths that can and would do it, and it will be cheaper. The two other 'smiths I've used in recent years were Garland Gilbreath out of Stephenville, and most recently Mark Pharr in Round Rock (just north of Austin). I had Mark build my 6XC. Excellent work that was done quick, and the price was right.
Now, as far as the freebore is concerned you only have to concern yourself with that if you're shooting factory ammo. If you're a handloader, then get the gun chambered without the freebore. I've done it on both Shilen barrels and had zero drama. The only thing to remember is that it'll be a handload only gun, no factory ammo, but otherwise it's drama free and the reduced freebore is a more ideal setup for accuracy purposes.

Miguel Cotto defeated Antonio Margarito on Dec. Three at Madison Square Garden in new york, causing a stoppage three seconds into the 10th round. Cotto dominated the fight from start to finish, and had badly beaten Margarito's right eye, which was swollen shut when the fight was stopped. Margarito's eye had been a consistent source of concern entering the fight, meaning approval from a doctor before the state of New York agreed to license Mexican professional boxer Antonio Margarito to battle. The eye had been badly hurt in Margarito's previous fight, a loss to Manny Pacquiao. Football lines
The fight was a rematch of a questionable 2008 bout, when Mexican professional boxer Antonio Margarito handed Cotto his first professional loss. Margarito forced Cotto's corner to throw in the towel in the 11th round. Margarito was ahead on a couple of the three scorecards at the time of the stoppage, but later came under suspicion thanks to his use of illegal hand wraps in a later struggle against Shane Mosely. Margarito is coming off a loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2010, while WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico has won his past 2 fights after losing to Pacquiao in 2009. Football betting lines
When the gloves came off, it was Miguel WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico whose hand was raised this time. In a packed, electrical Madison Square Garden, the Puerto Rican closed out all thoughts of vengeance for the shame of his first loss to Antonio Mexican professional boxer Antonio Margarito and boxed instead with admirable discipline under sustained pressure, battering the Mexican's suspect right eye closed with such efficiency the fight doctor called it over at the start of the 10th round.
Mexican professional boxer Antonio Margarito was angry. He didn't need a war ; he needed a win. WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico was cleared and relieved, potentially. For weeks the WBA light-middleweight champion allow it to be known he believed Margarito had beaten him with loaded gloves in Las Vegas 3 years ago.
Adding piquancy to the ending, the ugly bruise that enveloped the loser's right eye hid what might or may not have been more serious damage to the orbital bone the injury that had kept him out of the ring after he took a dreadful battering by Manny Pacquiao slightly over a year ago and which inspired doubt in the minds of the New York State Athletic Commission. Late in the day, they overturned their original, clumsy ban, commerce as well as a medical appeal the main factors. It would have been a brave call to cancel this fight, so charged was the increase, the atmosphere on the night and the intense feeling between the combatants. It's a Latino showdown that couldn't be stopped by faint hearts.
WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico bossed the 1st round, and his fans relished every blow. If they had rafters, they would've been hanging from them. The heaving corporate boxes and the engaged faithful in the [not much] cheaper seats paid affidavit to the fight's integrity.
Although it can be strongly argued Margarito shouldn't be in a boxing ring at all after being caught with loaded gloves before taking a quite terrible hiding from Shane Mosley in 2009, he could be a soldier from the ages, whose wild-eyed commitment to authorised violence frightens all but the most committed opponents.
When they last met, Cotto did not prove equal to that challenge, conquered on one knee in the Eleventh round.
If there had been an element of surrender in that engagement,there was tiny sign of it here as the fight exploded in an orgy of squashing head shots by both men against a wall of noise that would give on-rushing lions pause for thought.
Margarito, 3 years older at 34, grinned in every exchange, whether giving or receiving ; WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico stayed cool. Previously, Margarito had said that he was prepared to die in the ring, an especially tasteless declaration of war at a time when old infantrymen like Joe Frazier and Ron Lyle have fallen and Muhammad Ali is seriously sick.
WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico had no such malice. And last night he went about his work with what are left of his substantial talents. This was a job, he claimed, less than that. There isn't any point pretending this is the WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico who once was regarded as a welterweight phenomenon and possible adversary for Ricky Hatton. It isn't. He is slower, perhaps wiser but more hittable. After 5 rounds, he had not managed it, dancing on balanced feet, the title-holder was under pressure and on the back foot, defending against the ropes, waiting for his opponent's defence to slide.
With legal wraps authorised in the dressing by the astute Naazim Richardson (who spotted his indiscretion in LA, in protection of his fighter Mosley), Margarito did his best to sap the fight from WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.
As they approached the middle rounds, Cotto had a slight edge, maybe 3 rounds to 2, with one shared, but there wasn't a lot in it as far as the actual fighting was concerned. When Cotto caught Margarito cleanly, Mexican professional boxer Antonio Margarito usually got even with repulsive, scrambled retaliation, inspired by strength of will instead of the markedly more sporty class of his competitor.
It is just over a year since Margarito lost to Pacquiao on points, nine months since WBA super light-middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico stopped Ricardo Mayorga in the 12th round. After seven rounds, both seemed like they'd been fighting each day for the previous month.
Margarito's right eye was closed as he came off his stool for the 8th, trailing on points but full of fight. How he would have loved to have once been around in the times of bareknuckle fights to the finish. Here, he had to agree to the laws of relative politeness and the referee Steve Smoger watched the growing wound closely. As did Cotto, who belted it remorselessly.
It was now clear Margarito required a stoppage. He was losing the boxing match and vision out of that eye; the officers were scared witnesses at front row. The bruise was not that much worse than was John Murray's in the previous fight, but the sidekick weakness was a concern. After much thought, they let him fight on.
What Cotto knew as well as Margarito in the fading stages was that, if the champ boxed instead of fought, victory was his. He didn't let pride or Mexican professional boxer Antonio Margarito's pre-fight taunts distract him.
The bell went to voiced the start of the Tenth and again the doctor hovered over Mexican professional boxer Antonio Margarito's eye in the corner. The guardians of probity shook their heads. He was refused. Margarito's trainer, Robert Garcia, pleaded for one more round. The boxer had beaten the fighter and, if there was a feeling of frustration among the blood-thirsty parts of the seething auditorium, it was off-set by the joy among Cotto's Puerto Rican adherents.

While a lot of college students are home enjoying the start of summer and starting their summer jobs, Hope College junior and 2009 Rockford graduate Joel Rietsema is focusing on getting ready for the NCAA Division III National Track Meet. The meet takes place in Claremont, Calif. on May 24-26.
The former Rockford High School standout is currently ranked fourth in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:50.38. According to his coaches, this ranks him as one as one of the top 800-meter runners in the state of Michigan. Rietsema has been staying in Holland to do further training with his coaches Kevin Cole and Sue Addison. Rietsema battled several injuries last year with his hip, knee and shins. This year he is listening to
his body and working closely with Coach Addison.
"Last year was not the season I wanted. I did not listen to my body and it broke down," Rietsema said. "My goal this year was to qualify for nationals. Now that I have done that, I want to win it. But to do that, I need a 1:48."
Rietsema's coaches see the potential in him and believe he can do it.
Earlier this season, Rietsema broke the Hope College 800-meter record, which was set in 2001. He also broke the MIAA Conference record, which had been held by a Calvin College runner since 1991.

Building for the Future
Nearly everywhere I go, I am reminded of the impact Georgia State University has on the Atlanta community and far beyond. In this issue, follow the remarkable story of a GSU professor and a student who teamed up to use technology to make the history of the Georgia Capitol building – just a short walk from our campus – come alive for the thousands of visitors who pass through the Gold Dome every year. History professor Tim Crimmins and Chris Escobar, a graduate student in the Department of Communication, created an application for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad full of multimedia content that brings the building's rich history to life. You'll also spend time with GSU's gurus of business etiquette. Housed in the Robinson College of Business, the Department of Marketing's Business Communications program teaches the do's and don'ts of communication in the workplace, and how this information is directly applicable in the real world. Finally, you'll meet Ken and Georganne Honeycutt, who recently created an ongoing fellowship for doctoral students in GSU's Neuroscience Institute. You'll learn how their generous gift is helping students make cutting-edge discoveries in neuroscience, and how a GSU family connection made it all possible. On our campus and far beyond, GSU faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters are making a difference, and this issue is a salute to them all. Sincerely, Mark P. Becker

Risky business : making decisions off the cuff
Lings, Ian, Durden, Geoff, & Souchon, Anne (2010) Risky business : making decisions off the cuff. In Proceedings of Academy of Marketing Conference 2010, Coventry University, Coventry, UK.
Accepted Version
(PDF 191kB)
In line with accepted decision making theory, individuals engage in rational decision making. Decisions made under conditions of bounded rationality may have serious adverse consequences. Employees making decisions on behalf of their employer are often faced with situations where perfect and complete information is not available, and time is limited. Under such conditions, we posit that employees will make decisions that are increasingly bounded. At its most extreme neither time nor information is available to make a decision and rational decision making, bounded or not, reaches its limits. Many authors suggest that this is the point at which improvisation takes place. Although opinion in the literature is mixed regarding the efficacy of improvised decisions, we argue that improvised decisions place the organisation at considerable risk and as a consequence are undesirable.

Yet another filler panel question
Hi folks, im sure this is yet another question about the famous filler panels going bad and I did a quick search on the subject, but didn't really find an answer. The car is a 1991 Brougham (5.7). I need both rear quarter fillers as well as both of the ones around the tag. I ordered a set from E & K Bumper Fillers (www.sandkinindustries.com) and to be honest, I'm not so happy with the fit. I'll be the first to admit that I am rather picky about my caddy. I figured on a little mods to the plastic holes, but the body lines aren't right. (Ranging from 1/8"to about a 1/4") The question is have any of you guys found a place that produces the filler panels and installed them for a true correct fit? I can handle enlarging the mounting holes, but straight body lines are very important. Should i try for another set from this same company, or just try another company all together?

Couple things come to mind. Send them pics and to get your money back, take it to a body shop to see if they can use their tricks to line it up or buy stock fillers in good condition. The reviews on the aftermarket fillers have all been bad.
Re: Yet another filler panel question
I'd send them pics and try to get my money back.
I did see a nice fitting partial set on a junkyard car once, and have one of those fillers on my car (rears fit nice but were cracked due to being rear ended). I have no idea who made them though. they are black plastic (abs)
Re: Yet another filler panel question
All repo fillers are worthless. They do not line up and do not fit properly. It is best to maybe salvage the ones you have or finding a nice set at the local salvage yard.
Re: Yet another filler panel question
The factory ones are shot, and the place I got these from say"satisfaction guaranteed" but we will see how that turns out. You would think they wouldn't be hard to make since all sorts of cars use filler panels. I will work with them some more to try to line them up better before paint, but I'm kinda doubtful. So you guys are saying that no particular company is better than others and they're all gonna suck in the proper fitment? If I get a moment tonight, I'll post a pic and you guys tell me what you think.
Re: Yet another filler panel question
I just installed replacements on my 87. The PO included all the replacement fillers but one. I ordered that one off Ebay and when it arrived I was surprised that it was a hard repro not the original since it was a used take-off.
I do not know who made it but it was the easiest of the two to put on. It lined up and looked great. Now part of that may be the the part was already mounted on a car before I bought it. I could see where the holes had been modified to allow adjustment. The other thing that helped was that I had an extra set of the metal mounting brackets.
I found that using the bracket from the opposite side of the car worked best. The bracket was designed to bite the soft material and by turning the curved part of it away from the car really made it easier.
Hope that helps.
Re: Yet another filler panel question
Hey guys,
Haven't really been over in this section, but member "CSBUKN" reminded me today about it. I was just scanning this section and found this thread......
Anyone have any experiences with "Plasticpartsinc" or "Autobodyfillersusa" down here in Florida. They're both about 6 miles from me. They are located next door to each other but are separate businesses. From what I heard when calling one of them and asking; it looks like it's a family feud....!
I think PlasticPartsInc might be the company I'd buy from since they sent me a full quote for all their fillers for my 91 Brougham.
A neighbor had a local body shop do his 92 Brougham, and they looked a little out of whack when I first saw them, but the body shop must have done a lot of adjustment or got out the heat gun because they looked better but are narrow at the bottom and there is a small gap between the filler and the lower euro molding which does not fit against it tightly, but I think its missing a clip because I saw that the body shop used silicone instead of a clip...... I'll have to ask him who did the work and which company's fillers were used.
Anyone know if either of those company's parts are made well?
Re: Yet another filler panel question
I've only used original factory used pieces. For the exact reason that you are discovering: aftermarket fillers fit like crap. They're usually more expensive than good used ones, too!
Re: Yet another filler panel question
Head over to the parts for sale section at layitlow.com and you will have a good used pair by the weekend.
Re: Yet another filler panel question
Has anyone ever heard of this company here or on the "LayItLow" Board or tried their parts??????
Surely one of these company's must have purchased a NOS part to make an original mold from that fits like the originals unless one company actually did over the years and others have made copies of copies of copies and at that rate, I don't understand why they all don't fit right unless the original guy made the mold from a deformed used one and that's what everyone else made their copies from.
Re: Yet another filler panel question
Has anyone ever heard of finding genuine NOS (New Old Stock) or have they've been depleted. I wonder who was the original mfg. Maybe "Body By Fisher"?
I'm just going to post these links on Body Molding Clips since they are also another item the gets brittle and breaks.....not sure if others have any better sources for body molding clips other than the dealer or maybe the "HELP" product line by Dorman found at local auto part stores:

Re: Yet another filler panel question
The problem with the ABS plastic fillers is that the material is thinner than the original Urethane used for these cars. They can't produce the parts with the same dimensional characteristics as the original, so you have to spend a lot of time to ensure the product aligns as well as possible, which will not be a good as the originals. The fillers could be made using Urethane, but you would have to manufacture the dies for the injection process, which would be expensive. Does anyone have a 3D printer big enough and able to produce a product using Urethane? I have good original fillers for 1977 - 79 devilles for such a project.
Re: Yet another filler panel question
Dave, sorry, I missed your post. I would keep watching layitlow, those guys have parts cars all the time. Like I've stated before, I put used fillers on mom's 84, and they look great. Took new paint beautifully.
Chris, I don't remember anyone checking with a GM dealer to see if there is old stock on the fillers. Worth a shot! You never know what's out there.

It was back to The Generous Squire again which was chosen as a leaving lunch for one of our work mates. Based on my prior experience of the paella which turned out not to be paella, I had warned many of my colleagues. We placed our orders and waited for a table which gave plenty of time for mingling and downing a few pints. I decided to go with the steak sandwich and what a generous offering they brought out! Certainly true to form based upon the other dishes I've seen served here. The steak was tender and sandwiched between a large salad with a huge serving of French fries. The chips were delicious and I savoured every one of them. I hate when you get served chips and they aren't all that great. What I was really intrigued with was the tomatoes. I'm not sure what they did with them, they weren't fried, sundried, or roasted, but they had a unique flavour I've not tasted before. I'd rate this the best steak sandwich I had but it's so huge to tackle, you'll need the salad on one slice of bread and the steak on the other.
The Generous Squire Food Review Summary
Verdict: Loved the steak sandwich, an excellent meal
Price: Reasonable
Taste: Delicious
Value: Excellent
Recommendation: Highly Recommend

Only 22-years-old, Lily Madison knows that the UK is the land of naturally big-boobed girls. And she is one of them.
"People kept telling me to apply to SCORE so I finally decided to try it and now here I am," Lily says.
This is Lily's first time showing her spectacular tan-lined tits for any magazine or website. Lily's boobs measure 34G. She has very large areolae that she measures on-camera and their diameter comes to five inches. That's big.
Lily crushed a soda can between her cans on-camera. Dave saved it for posterity.
After she got home, Lily sent the staff a vegan cake as a gift. Now that's British hospitality.

I hope those "little tiny donuts" actualy ARE donuts, rather than cheerios. They look ever so slightly larger that the average 'cheerio,' and hopefully taste better. I mean, powdered sugar or chocolate frosting on a cheerio? Yucch! Probably serve that at Univ. of Col. dining hall, don't they?

1. Don't Overreact on Bryce Brown While the zero fantasy points he posted in standard scoring against Tampa Bay on Sunday was potentially crippling for many of his owners - especially those in the playoffs - those who own Bryce Brown will in most cases want to keep him active as the Eagles take on Cincinnati on Thursday. It's probably safe to say that Brown isn't quite as great as the 347 yards (8.1 YPC) and four touchdowns he posted in Weeks 12 and 13 made him look, but he's also far better than the seven rushing yards he totaled against the Buccaneers would lead anyone to believe. It's quite possible that Brown's game Sunday could go down as the worst 12-carry stretch of his career. It will be difficult to total minus-5 yards on 11 carries again, which for the exception of a 12-yard long, Brown managed to do against the Buccaneers. It's also unlikely that Brown will suffer from the same lack of opportunity against the Bengals on Thursday that he did against Tampa Bay last week...

Closed Cell spray foam kits
Hello Everybody,
I live about a mile or two from the pacific ocean in Southern California.
My house was built in the 1950's with no crawl space insulation. In the winters, the floor gets mighty cold and recently found that moisture is creepy up in between the gaps in the original hardwood.
My crawl space is vented. I want to purchase a DIY polyurethane closed foam kit online with a anti-microbial additive to resist mold growth.
Would this project be difficult for a weekend amateur to tackle?
I am also worried about the toxic fumes the foam will admit while curing. I have two young kids at home. Do you recommend I aerate the home after the insulation job?
I recommend to have a professional come and price/do it. Closed cell foams are very sensative to a variety of factors (installed thickness per pass**, ambient temperature, surface humidity, ambient humidity, etc.). There is an off-gasing associated with the installation process and full resperator gear is necessary.
**: Installing closed cell foam in lifts greater than 2" can cause permanent damage to the insulation system and has actually resulted in a death from excess heat within the foam igniting the system.
I've always considered the DIY kits good for rim joist or small area foaming jobs. An entire floor system is an intense job.
I did the underside of our cottage floor myself (had to; we are water access and it was going to be an expensive bear to get someone out on a rented barge to do it).
I would not recommend it to a weekend warrior unless said warrior had experience with spraying, had all the gear, and was failry experienced generally in DIY.
As has been said, it requires special PPE, and has to applied properly and at the right temperatures. Ours turned out well, but I am a marine engneeer, have used a variety of spraying equipment, and was able to use as directed. It was tiring, though, and it's easy to do wrong especially when doing a large area and/or spraying overhead.
good advice
thank you both for the reply. :thumbsup:
i will heed the advice and hire a professional.
does anyone have an idea what the average cost would be for 1200 square feet at one inch thick?
does anyone have a recommendation in the southern california area?
thanks again.
There are several options out there depending on your situation to reduce or eliminate the moisture issues your having. The spray foam is good for the air seal and insulation factor but the moisture issue is another whole bowl of wax. Do you have a vapor barrier down on the floor of the crawl?
About the vapors from the foam I believe there is a DIY kit called foam it green which advertises it's a green product. Not sure what kind of vapors or fumes it puts off so you'd have to check with them. If your a DIYer willing and able to do the job I don't see why you couldn't tackle yourself however just make sure you doing the rights things and do your homework. You can potentially make the situation worse if you do the wrong things.
Take a good look at this link
awesome article
thank you for the link to the article: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...n-crawlspaces/
now i am more confused? i think the jist of the article recommends I lay down a vapor barrier instead of foam insulation of the crawl space unless my home is built on a pier type construction? i did not comprehend half the article lol.
A vapor barrier is a must in a crawl space. This vapor barrier covers the floor of the crawl space eliminating any moisture coming up from the ground. This alone will reduce moisture issues but how much is hard to say in your area. There are two sides of the fence on vented crawl spaces. They have been around and are still built today w/ new construction. However there is allot evidence out there that they draw in more moisture and humidity from the outside air then they do drawing it out.
I think the jist of the article was that in open crawl spaces there is a thermocline area around the bottom of the joist area which is a dramatic temperature gap. This gap causes condensation on the bottom of the insulation and on the bottom of joists which can be a real problem. In the article they are encouraging you to spray foam over the bottom of the joist to eliminate this. The key in your situation is the moisture issues. If it were me I'd start w/ a vapor barrier, from there I'd monitor moisture levels w/ a wireless gauge. If they are still to high then think about converting the crawl or getting a dehumidifier. Once levels are controlled you can re-insulate.
good info
thanks again.:thumbsup:

OTTAWA, July 12, 2011 - Female refugees fleeing conflict and hunger in East Africa are facing another threat: rape and sexual violence. According to UNHCR reports, the numbers of sexual and gender-based violence cases have quadrupled: 358 incidents reported from January until June 2011, in comparison with 75 during the same period in 2010. At CARE's reception centre in two of the refugee camps numbers have more than doubled. In the first six months of this year, since the refugee influx began, 136 cases have been documented, compared to 66 in the same period in 2010.
"The deep psychological affects that conflict and subsequent forced displacement can have on women refugees is immense. We have witnessed high levels of anxiety, panic, trauma, and women are sharing stories of rape, violence and hunger," said Wilson Kisiero, CARE's gender and development coordinator in Dadaab. "CARE is providing immediate psychological support to the newly arrived women and girl refugees and we are doing all we can to ensure follow-up visits."
The most dangerous period for refugees is when they are on the move. Women and girls are especially vulnerable to rape, abduction, illness and even death on the journey. Many women set out on the journey alone with their children, leaving husbands behind and they may walk for weeks in search of safety.
CARE has set-up a screening tent at the registration center in Dadaab to help identify survivors of sexual abuse or other violence on their journey. Upon identification, referral is made for counseling and emergency medical attention.
When women arrive in Dadaab, they face camps that are already full and are settling in a scattered, unplanned way on the outskirts of the camps. Often, before they receive tents, these women are forced to set up temporary shelters of sticks, plastic bags, or scraps of wool and cloth, wherever they can find space, often far from emergency services, such as clinics, water sites or latrines, further exasperating their vulnerability to violence.
"Without a properly designated place to settle, women and children are scared, especially at night," said Caroline Saint-Mleux, CARE emergency team leader in Dadaab. "CARE has been working with the refugees to explain where they can receive help and is ensuring the most vulnerable households are getting the support they need. Through CARE's partnerships on the ground, we are encouraging other groups to take into consideration the specific needs of women and children as well."
CARE is the lead implementing agency in Dadaab. Along with its support to the refugees that have been in Dadaab since 1991, CARE is distributing food, water, jerry cans, plastic sheeting, and soap to the newly arriving refugees. CARE also provides psychological support and counseling to survivors of sexually-based violence.

METALS-London copper hits 3-wk high on hopes of EU stimulus
SYDNEY Aug 26 (Reuters) - London copper climbed to a three-week high as the market reopened after a holiday weekend on Tuesday, with signs of weakening in Europe's economy fanning hopes for fresh stimulus.
* Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange traded at $7,097 a tonne by 0027 GMT, having earlier reached its highest since Aug. 5 at $7,108.75 a tonne. Prices last week notched their biggest weekly gain in 11 months.
* The most-traded October copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange traded at 50,730 yuan ($8,243) a tonne in overnight trade, having marked a 7-week top on Monday.
* The euro zone's flat-lining economy took another hit on Monday when data showed German business sentiment sagging for the fourth month running, while a row over the lack of growth led the French government to resign.
* Sales of new U.S. single-family homes fell for a second straight month in July, but a surge in the stock of properties on the market and slower price gains should help stimulate demand in the months ahead.
* Divided by mistrust and mutual recriminations, the Russian and Ukrainian leaders will hold rare talks on Tuesday that offer only a slim hope of progress towards ending five months of separatist war in Ukraine.
* Chile reduced its global outlook for copper prices to an average $3.05 per pound this year, down from its previous estimate of $3.15, as prospects for growth ease in top buyer China. Continued...

Regals Track and Field SCIAC Championships Preview
CLU looks to repeat at SCIAC Champs
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Cal Lutheran women's track and field team will host the 2013 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Championships Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27. The championships will be held at Bill Henry Olympic Track on the campus of Occidental College. The meet will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Friday and 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Cal Lutheran will be looking to repeat as championships after capturing its first title in 2012. The Regals return seven athletes that earned All-SCIAC honors last season at the championships. So far this season, CLU is 6-2 and is coming off a strong performance at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational where four personal-best times were set.
Cal Lutheran boasts one of the deepest sprinting groups in the conference. Leading the way is the 100 meter dash trio of Amy Galipeau, Kendall Sauter and Taryn Thordarson. Thordarson finished fifth at the SCIAC Championships last season after clocking a time of 12.56. This season, Galipeau has run a personal-best of 12.61 while Sauter is right behind her, clocking a 12.69 earlier this year.
The Regals will look to defend their 200 meter dash crown after Julea Juarez won in 2012. Galipeau and Lauren Rohach are poised to contend for a spot on the podium after strong 2013 seasons. Galipeau finished fourth at the Championships last season and has a clocked a low of 26.54 this season. Rohach won the SCIAC No. 1 200 meter race earlier this year and has recorded a season-low time of 25.57 seconds in 2013.
Also expect to see Audrey Dow and Lauren Kennedy compete for a medal-finish. Dow ran a 26.38 this season and Kennedy gives CLU another runner that can clock a sub 27 seconds time.
Rohach will also contend in the 400 meter dash after finishing seventh at the Championships last season. The versatile junior recorded a time of 58.86 earlier this season which was the sixth fastest time in CLU history.
During the hurdles portion, CLU will expect to see strong performances from Kennedy and Amanda Hamilton. Kennedy has recorded a personal-best time of 15.51 seconds in the 100 meter hurdle race while Hamilton already holds the school record in the 400 meter hurdle race in her first season as a Regal.
Cal Lutheran will also look to defend its 4x 100 and 4x 400 meter relay race titles from a year ago. Sauter, Rohach, Galipeau and Hamilton will make up the 4x 100 meter team. During the SCIAC No. 3, the quartet set a school record with a time of 47.87 seconds. Amy Falahat, Hamilton, Katie Kirchner and Rohach will compete as the 4x 400 meter relay team.
In addition to its sprinting prowess, Cal Lutheran also has a number of distance record holders. Ashley Frese won the SCIAC No. 3 800 meter race earlier this season and has recorded a personal-best time of 2:19.15.
Frese will combine with Chelsea Feller and Melissa Skiba to form a competitive group in the 1500 meter race. Skiba is the favorite heading into the race already holding the school record by more than three seconds. Frese recorded a season-best time of 4:36.52 during the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational while Feller finished third at the SCIAC No. 3
Skiba will also look to capture the 3000 meter race title after breaking the school record earlier this season in a time of 10:05.91.
In the 5000 meter race, Cal Lutheran looks to five runners vying for All-SCIAC honors. In addition to Feller and Skiba, Natalie Bullock, Amanda Miller and Taelor Young have each recorded times in the top ten all-time at CLU this season.
Field Events
Mary Case, Emily Ginter, Sheyenne Machida, and Laurel Skinner will all compete in the pole vault. Case, Ginter and Machida have all cleared 3.0 meters in their careers with Case leading the way with a personal best of 3.15 meters.
Rohach and Sauter will compete in the long jump. Rohach holds the school record with a leap of 5.71 meters and will look to improve upon her second place finish at the SCIAC Championships last year. Sauter finished right behind Rohach in third with a leap of 5.35 meters.
Hamilton will look to bring home All-SCIAC honors in the triple jump. The freshman had a leap of 11.57 at the SCIAC No. 3 which took home first place and set a new CLU record.
Briana Panapa and Tori Dahl will be in all four throwing events at the Championships while teammate Allie Hadley will participate in the javelin. All three own school records in their respective events.

New laws designed to give extra protection to victims of stalking have come into force.
The Government is also providing new support aimed at reducing domestic and sexual violence and female genital mutilation (FGM).
Two specific criminal offences of stalking have come into force in England and Wales for the first time.
This is part of a package of new funds and measures to crack down on abuse leading into the 16 days of action that follow yesterday's UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
Crime Prevention Minister Jeremy Browne said: "Stalking is an appalling crime that destroys lives. The impact on victims can be devastating and we are doing all we can to make sure they have the protection they need and do not have to live in fear.
"These new offences send a clear message to offenders that stalking is a serious crime and they will be brought to justice for making others' lives a misery."
The new offences sit alongside existing ones of harassment in the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. They are designed to provide extra protection for victims, highlight the serious impact stalking can have on their lives and help bring more perpetrators to justice.
Mr Browne also announced extra support to tackle violence against women and girls. This includes a £150,000 fund for domestic homicide reviews to help local areas prevent future domestic violence tragedies, and the launch of a declaration against FGM and additional £50,000 funding to support frontline agencies tackling the problem.
One in four women in the UK will be the victim of domestic abuse in their lifetime and over the last year more than 300,000 were sexually assaulted and 60,000 raped.
Victims and Equalities Minister Helen Grant said: "Creating new stalking offences will ensure that victims of this heinous crime are better protected and will bring more offenders to justice.
"The Government's ambition is nothing less than ending all forms of violence against women and girls. But we must also ensure that if people's lives are affected by crime, the right kind of help or support is available.
"For the first time we have made sure nearly £40 million of central government funding is in place for organisations that do so much to help victims, often with so little. And we are changing the way we provide wider funding to ensure victims' services are better matched to the problems faced in local communities."
The government is also working to help victims around the world.
Lynne Featherstone, ministerial champion for tackling violence against women and girls overseas, said: "The British Government is working in over 20 countries to tackle violence against women and girls. We have already helped deliver successful programmes to respond to domestic abuse and violence in conflict, but there is still so much more to do.
"I want to use my role to ensure we challenge mindsets and allow women to live free from the threat of violence. In particular, we must all play our part to support efforts to end the horrific practice of FGM. By putting FGM on the mainstream development agenda, I want to encourage others to step in with much needed political and financial resources."
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it has produced, in association with the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), a new checklist for police and prosecutors to use in cases of domestic violence.
It has also updated its guidance to prosecutors to reflect the introduction of the new stalking offences and will soon be launching new training on cyber-stalking.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, said: "Violence against women and girls is a key priority for the CPS and we have taken a number of steps to improve the prosecution of these types of offences. This includes a continued commitment to equip prosecutors with useful and relevant tools, guidance and training in order to enhance our ability to effectively prosecute people who commit these crimes.
"In domestic violence cases, we work hard to build the best case possible and it is vital that every opportunity to gather evidence is taken. We continue to improve our performance in achieving successful prosecutions of violence against women and girls, with nearly three-quarters of domestic violence prosecutions ending in a conviction last year."
The new checklist for domestic violence cases is designed to prompt police officers and prosecutors to take specific steps to promote thorough investigations, effective prosecutions and to help ensure victims receive the service they deserve.
Mr Starmer said: "We are pleased to have created this checklist with Acpo so that both police and prosecutors can work together to further improve our performance in domestic abuse cases."
Acpo lead on stalking and harassment Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said: "Stalking often has a huge emotional impact on those it affects and can cause lasting damage to confidence and independence.
"The introduction of legislation that makes stalking a specific offence sends out a clear message to offenders that stalking in any form is a crime.
"The new powers of entry will allow officers to search premises for vital evidence and will assist in bringing offenders to justice."
Home Office Minister Jeremy Browne, speaking on BBC Breakfast, said: "This is a very serious problem which affects thousands of thousands of mainly women, not exclusively women, but mainly women, right across the country.
"We want to be clear about what we think about stalking, we want people to feel that they are not alone, that they are not vulnerable, that they can go to the police and we want the police to be certain that they have a specific offence which they can prosecute people for breaking."
He added: "It is the sort of offence that people can sometimes brush under the carpet, not be aware of, it has been trivialised sometimes, I think, in the past as something which is just people, mainly women, being a bit bothered but nothing to worry about too much.
"We are saying it is a serious offence, it is a specific offence, we want people to be aware of it."

Fuel economy starts to drop over 75 mph, but when you're stuck at 65 mph through Ohio wanting to stab your eyes out, mpg are great. I'll take low 20s at 85-90 mph across Kansas though, decent trade off for making good time.
Posting from a different planet huh?
The OP was saying that he was only getting 12.9 MPG in driving HIS X5 and asking if there was a problem.
You posted that you are getting 18MPG so it almost looks like you are driving two different vehicles so not really applicable to the OP, right? Are you trying to indicate that he should be able to get 18MPG rather than 12.9 in his X5 for some reason? You also didn't post HOW you got that type of mileage (average MPH, length of trips, type of traffic, etc... no details what so ever).
I guess your claims of exceptional highway mileage may help bump your ego but not certain how any of that changes the OP's condition or that it has ANY relevance for this thread what-so-ever.

Lamb carcasses took a $5-7 jump in price late last week, and fat and feeder lamb prices moved upward this week. Slaughter lambs were a couple of dollars higher while feeders were around $5-7 higher.
Slaughter ewes were mixed with Midwest markets off a little while Texas markets were a couple of dollars higher. Ewe exports to Mexico last week amounted to 6919 head, bringing the year to date total to 109,879 head compared to 102,677 for the same period last year.
East Coast lamb carcasses weighing 45-55 pounds were $137.50-142.50 last week, 55-65 pounds $135.50-140.50, 65-75 pounds $129.50-130, 75-85 pounds $119.50-120 and over 85 pounds $105.50-106.
Lamb carcass cutout values took a sharp jump Wednesday in response to higher carcass prices and almost wiped out the disparity between lights and heavies. Weights 65 pounds and down were up $11.45 at $159.46 and weights 65 pounds and up improved $15.40 at $157.71.
Sheep and lamb slaughter last week was only 63,000 and is not expected to be over 50,000 this holiday-shortened period. Slaughter rates, quite a bit above a year ago the first couple of months of the year, have been running about in line with a year ago for the past six weeks but should be less than a year ago for the balance of the year.
Lamb and mutton inspected and passed for entry into the United States totaled 747 metric tons last week, or the equivalent of 37 percent of domestic production. Australia shipped 403 metric tons and New Zealand 344 metric tons.
Rains throughout much of West Texas this week have squelched the drouth that has stymied grazing most of this year. Several areas reported over four inches. Spring has finally arrived.
In San Angelo 40-90 pound feeder lambs brought $77-86, a few oldcrops weighing 65-100 pounds $62-69. Fredericksburg had most lambs $78-85 with blackface $84-89.50, heavies $77-84. Goldthwaite lambs of 50-75 pounds brought $77-83, 80-105 pounds $77-80.50. Midwest markets had 50-70 pound feeders $80-90 and 70-90 pounds $75-80.
Feeder lambs moving direct in West Texas were mostly on the heavy side and brought $76-78. California lambs weighing 100 pounds moved at $65.
Slaughter lambs in San Angelo brought $63-68 with newcrops $70-75. Midwest markets had fats $68.60-69.25, a few newcrops at $70.
Recent sales on Texas fat lambs moving direct to packers reported 120-145 pounders at $65-70 with 30-40 cent slides on weights over 125 pounds; newcrop lambs made $68-72. California had 110-130 pound newcrop lambs at $60-65. Colorado contract lambs averaged 154 pounds at $56.52, dropping about seven pounds from the previous week.
Fleshy slaughter ewes in San Angelo brought $37-48.50, fat ewes $25-35. Midwest markets had ewes $25-28.
South Dakota recently sold 85 pound ewe lambs at $62 per head and yearlings at $75 per head.

Adrenalin and injuries in Spain's running of the bulls
MADRID (Reuters Life!) - A runner was gored in the thigh by a bulls' horn on Friday as Spain's adrenaline-filled week-long running of the bulls at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona entered day three.
A menacing black bull separated itself from the herd and lingered behind, raising the threat to runners and prolonging the usually short race to more than six minutes through the streets Pamplona in northern Spain.
Three others were admitted to hospital, the Red Cross said during its customary post-race report of injuries.
A day earlier a 43-year-old Irishman identified only as C.C. was admitted to hospital for a gash from a bull's horn, and a 21-year old Spaniard was fighting for his life in hospital for several hours but his condition has improved.
