Border question.
I am new to this forurm, and been reading a lot of the posts, lots of great information.
I recently bought my first house -- and as such am both excited and buggy-eyed as to all that needs to be done. The first job of course is painting the interior.
With all the rooms, the ceiling is a stucco ceiling, with a four inch border of smooth surface that meets the top of the wall (making the corner). I was thinking of painting this four inch edge to match the wall, giving a crown moulding apperance.
I dont want to get any paint on the stucco, and from what I have been reading using tape will not get me the edge that I need. ( I even tried taping a portion and noticed that the stucco is creating a gap between the ceiling and the tape - a gap where paint can get into and ruin the stucco ) Has anyone else done this and what would be the best way to get a decent result.
Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated.
we usually cut these in by hand, but that takes a lot of practice to be able to freehand a straight line.
Maybe one of these Trim Guides will work for you.
I am not an expert and I don't know if this would work cause I nevered tried it myself. I'm guessing you want to paint the border without any paint being on the ceiling stucco.
This is the best one I think would work but it required you painting the ceiling.
a) Paint the border and try to get minimum paint onto the stuffo ceiling
b) Afterward, tape the border where it's meeting the ceiling and paint the ceiling (since the border have no texture)
It's just doing everything backward cause you can't tape the ceiling cause of texture, but you can tape the border if it got no texture. :thumbup:
Thanks for the responses guys..... A few more questions though....
I got me two of thoes metal guides.... one 23 inches and the other about 12 inches....... Right now i am busy patching and filling holes in the drywall.
I saw how the painted border looked at a friends house... really looks good (even though the paint job is not the best)
Any other suggestions as to how to make this border really clean???
Also, Like i said, i am going though and filling holes with drywall compound. I am noticing that after the compound drys, their is a little "dimple" where the hole was.... Am I doing something wrong here cause that dimple was not there when it was wet.
Finally, I do know that these spots need to be primed. Is it worth it to prime the whole thing? or do i just need to spot-prime? And when I do start to paint, what order would be best???? Should I try the border first, then work on the walls, or visa versa??? I know the border/trim will take more time than the walls, so will the drying time on the border/trim affect the look on the wall where they meet? What is average drying time???
I know i may sound dazed and confused, but I just want to do a good job and get a good result.
It is pretty common to have to apply multiple coats of j/c. When drywall goes up they use 2-3 coats of the stuff.
The trick when spot priming is to use a roller. If you spot-prime with a brush, your final finish coat will have some noticeable smooth spots where the roller stipple is less. Trim or walls first?... it's a matter of personal preference. I personally do trim last, but others do the reverse. Drying time is whatever the can says it is; it varies by coating. Some are ready to recoat in one hour, some take four, and they all depend on conditions. (Cool and/or humid conditions extend drying time.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: If using tape, DO NOT apply the tape until the coating is AT LEAST two weeks old, preferably longer. Failure to wait this long will cause the tape to peel the paint.
Thanks for the advice....... I asked the same question yesterday at HD when i bought some Caulk.. the guy at the paint counter told me the same thing.... last night i went back and re-filled the holes.... most of them did not have that dimple any more....... i guess i just have to keep re-filling.
I also have noticed that some spots of the wall have circular bumps to them..... big ones -- in other words not from a roller/brush.... I diged into one of the bumps and found the screw head that was used to secure the drywall to the stud..... I figured i can just tighten this - as it wasnt screwed in deep enough and re-mud the area... is this the best way to go about this, or am seting myself up for missery?????
You know.. this is my first house...... everything is starting to pile up... all that needs to be done... all the money spent..... I am sure am glad this forum is here though.....
PS: Any advise for dealing with the fiancee who wants to paint everything boring beige???
Thanks for all the help.
If the screws were put in when the house was built, the bumps may be due to the inevitable settling that occurs with every new house. Tightening and re-mudding is the way to go.
Standard hint from this forum... HD is a fine place to pick up things like roller covers (Purdy White Doves only!), brushes (Purdy or Wooster only!) and caulk (DAP Dynaflex 230 is about the only painting caulk worth buying there. Avoid GE caulk at all costs!), but don't get your paint there! Get your paint from an actual paint store, and buy near or at the top of the line. You will be much happier, and have fewer headaches.
As far as moving the SO (or SWMBO... She Who Must Be Obeyed) off of beige... try some mild pastels. It would also be a great idea to stop by one of those paint stores and purchase a color fan. That is about 100x better than picking up strips from the store. This will be $10 or so, and well worth the investment. Also, Sherwin Williams will mix up a sample quart of almost any color for $5, which can be great for trying out a new color before committing to $60 worth of paint; most of our rooms have gone through three or four of those samples before making a final decision, and this was after consulting the color fan. (Note: That sample quart cannot be used as actual paint... it's about as durable (and covers as well) as that $8/gal crap from BigBox. I usually paint some posterboard as a first step, and brush some on to a primed wall to make my final decision.)
We used SW "Lantern Light" yellow (code 6687) in our kitchen and dining room, and it was a nice change from a standard beige without being too jarring. HINT: If using the Sherwin fan, pretend the "bold colors" section doesn't exist. We thought "Daffodil" would look nice when consulting the chip, but a $5 sample later we could tell the color description was disturbingly accurate. :-)
if you want to try freehanding the paint
1. Hold the brush (probably a 1 1/2" sash brush) like a pencil, with the angled tip toward the top
2. As you stroke, rotate the brush slightly and add slight pressure; that will give you a smooth line as you draw the brush. The straight will come with practice, and a smooth line looks straighter than an irregular one, even if it isn't quite straight.
about the one color lady -- I married one :yes: She couldn't picture what she wanted, but after a couple years, we are slowly repainting as she realizes what she wants. And it is easier for me to put up with something that isn't really my preference than to live with her when she is discontent. It's not that big a deal:yes:
To paraphrase a little green friend of mine.... "Much to learn... I still have"
Its all about the little things.... It dont take much to make me happy... I am glad i am on track with the tightening of the screws in the drywall.
I guess i am making a trip tommorow to return that GE calk..... it was got at HD..... they had MONO.... and some other kinds too... somthing that started with Alex something or other....(i think). So why is GE so bad????
Interms of the paint.... I most likely will go with BM..... The friend who had his house painted went with BM and he liked it (not sure what weight that will carry since he paid someone to paint for him)
I like the Idea about the color testers..... Maybe I will just go and prime everything... then just get a bunch of testers to see what will work best. That being said..... if i paint some of the wall with a tester and then decide against it... Can i just prime over top that, or should i re-prime the wall????
I guess the big thing is that I take for ever to make decisions... SWMBO on the other hands decides like a knee-jerk reaction.. (dont get me wrong.. I love her to death and she is the best that has ever happened to me...but still... pure knee-jerk reaction -- SHe had the whole house decided in 10 minutes)
So then I guess the plan is to finish the rest of the patching and such.... and then prime everything...... Does it matter where I get the prime from??? or does PrimeA=PrimeB???
Any advise on painting impossible to reach places??? Like the back corner of a stair case. I got me one of thoes telescopic ladders... and I can get within a couple of feet... but thats it..... It would appear i would need a painters pole of some sort... but I need one that is stable if i am doing trim..... any suggestions.....
I swear if i get through this and my house and I are in one piece... I am throwing the biggest BBQ EVER!!!!!!
I don't have any suggestion on your stairwell...
Well.... I just got home after a days work on the house......
Progress is happening.. but when your learning as you go, progress comes slow.....
So as of now.... the lesson of the day, is dont buy cheap plastic drop cloths....... they have no weight to them, and they are a pain to setup.
Second lesson of the day is to not bother putting drop cloths when your sanding cause your going to vacuum anyways.....and the cloth will get in the way... I supose the only time you need the cloth is when your actually putting paint to wall.
I have few more rooms to sand.... then cleanup.. and finally i get the put primer on.....
That being said... I know that the trim will take longer to do, and when i am done the trim/border in a room, and start on the walls, the freshly painted border/trim will be dry. My consern is that when i start painting the walls, there will be sections where there will be multiple coats of paint (from when i did the trim and when i did the upper/lower portions of the wall)
I am worried that this will cause a blotchy look.... something i dont want given the money and time i am investing in goood BM paint(AURA), and 2 weeks of vacation from work (which is not really a vacation)
Any suggestions on how to start???? or am i just worring about nothing?
Also when i went to the BM store, they had 3 different kinds of primer.... all different prices..... any preferences out there... i know that the most expenisive one was also good for priming metal, so that leaves the cheapo BM primer and the mid-grade.... anyone know what the difference is between them?
Sorry for ranting on.... any/all help is greatly appreciated.
I'm sure you are aware that drywall dust will trash your home vacuum if you use it much. The dust is so fine that it will coat the motor, etc, and cause issues later. I've found that using dropcloths and keeping them tight to the wall enabled me to roll up most of the sanding dust and carry it out, keeping the vacuuming to a minimum.:)
And a thought about painting your colors... If you put your lighter color on first, you can be a little less precise with it and run it just a bit futher than where it will end. Then when you tape your straight line for your dark color, it will typically cover the excess lighter color fine. Remember that most bold colors will take multiple coats to achieve their depth of color.
Well.. back from another day at the house...actually got a lot accomplished today....
Thanks for the words of wisdom....... its greatly appreciated....
So today I went and got primer.... went with the Benjamin More all puropse primer. And it was on sale so that was a bonus as well......
I also picked up a quart of oil based primer (as per the recomdation of the BM person when I mentioned to her that one of the bed rooms has a water stain to it that appears to be going through the skim coat of drywall mud........
Kranzi -- Thanks for the tip about the home vacuum...... Today i finished sanding and started the clean up... rolled up all the drop cloths.. and started to vacuum the bedroom carpets.... (there is a lot of dust in the living/dining room so for that it will be the ole broom coming to my aid... good thing you said what you did... i was going to vacuume all that drywall dust on the hardwood floor to save time...... thanks for the heads up)
I figure i have no choice but to use the vacuum on the carpet.... but there was not much that needed to be done.
As for the paint color... i have come to the conlusion it really dont matter what the colors are... so long as wifey is happy...... so beigh and "earthy tones" it is..... besides... i would much perfer boring colors that will put you to sleep than unhappy wifey.......
Hopefully tommorow i am putting primer to wall...
Thanks for all the advice.
Well.. much time has passed and a lot has been learned.......... many thanks to all that helped me......
Painting is about 90 percent done... other than one small room, and touch ups.......
I must say though that the border on the ceiling came out MINT!!!! I swear.. who knew that something costing me 2.99 (11 inch trim guide) would be worth its weight in GOLD!!!!!! the rounded corners had to be done free hand, but after a while it was fairly easy........ and any spots where i "slipped" i just dabbed a bit of primer over to hide it.... you cant even tell.....
As for the stairwell.. that was all done too.... thanks to a Grade 1AA teloscopic ladder.... all in all.... my paint job cost me about 1000 do to.... my buddies who had his done for him cost him 7 times that (mind you his house is twice as big as mine).... but even he admits that my job is better than the guy who did his house.......
Alot also has happened with other projects.... (wont get into cause they are outside the scope of THIS post -- but lets just say that the value has already increased and there is still more to do)
Anyways... was on here looking up something else and though i would say a big Thanks to all that helped with advice.......

Roof Cap / Staining - Lichen Question
Question about my roof cap shingles. On the south side of my detached garage the cap shingles are shot. No grit left and curling up. On the rest of the garage and the house there is noticeable wear on the cap shingles (like it's time to replace soon).
Is it practical to replace just the ridge shingles? No ridge vents just regular ones on both the house and garage. The roof on the south side of the house looks great (one cracked architectural shingle but otherwise like new). The North side of the roof is mostly shaded and is very stained and has lichens and a small amount of moss growing on it.
That brings me to my second question: Does moss / lichen pose a threat to the roof or is it just aesthetics? If it's a threat, any way to tell how much damage has been done? I don't know how old the roof is as it isn't in the paperwork from when I bought the house. I'll ask the neighbor when I see him :).
If the north side of the house's roof is going to need to be replaced within a year or so, I will just buy a package of closely matching ridge cap and fix the BAD area on the garage. Then re-roof everything in a year or so. Is there any way to get a good estimate on how much life is left in the roof? If Pics would help, I will post them tomorrow. Thanks!
EDIT: I did search around but everyone just talks of removal / prevention methods for lichens / moss. Nobody seems to talk about what damage they may / may not do. If just cleaning them off is advisable, anyone know where to get zinc strips that I can put across the roof to prevent it from recurring (if it is an issue).

Tom is one of the best designers I've ever met—period. Having worked with creatives from many different firms across Ontario, Tom stands out as being one of the most innovative, refreshing and dedicated Visual Designers I've ever met. He takes the time to really understand the business, brand and the audience, and has an uncanny ability to relate to a wide range of businesses and organizations. His specialty—to my mind—is bringing new ideas to the table, and being able to follow through on implementation. Hismake it happenattitude brings success to his employers and to his clients. But there is nothing hurried or rushed about his work; every piece is deliberate, thorough and carefully planned. His mix of right and left brain talents often left me speechless. I would love to work with Tom in the future, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a designer.
In planning my wedding, I asked Tom to design my invitations. Tom went way beyond that and created apersonal brandfor our wedding that he carried through on our invitations, website, programs, menu cards and anything else that he possibly could (and we were more than happy to let him). We are so delighted with Tom's ability to use type in fresh and creative ways and think outside the box, while sticking within our budget. Tom knew exactly what we needed even before we did and he accomplished his work with detailed excellence. Thanks, Tom!
My endorsement of Tom Hodgins is a testament to the power of social networking. I hired Tom to design and build my company website without having met him in person. His charismatic and creative nature came through in all of his work and online communications. He passionately embracedopen sourceprojects and out-of-the-box thinking whenever tackling a problem which always resulted in greater choice and quality for the company. Tom's technical skill was complimented by his talent as a wordsmith—an atypical combination of skills in my experience. Thank you, Tom, for all of your amazing work!

Hey all. I'm in the lovely pocono's (Eastburg all the way ) and I'm looking for an uppipe install. I did the godspeed on my car, and I'm thoroughly unhappy with either my install or the quality of it.
I am thinking about swapping it for a vishnu uppipe and having a pro (like the guy on vishnu's site in 'Jersey) do it.
Anyone have suggestions about someplace to go? I'm even toying w/ the idea of a full aftermarket header install, 'cause the jersey guy wants to charge me $570 for the pipe & install...

How do the inserts on the stock and forearm hold up? I personally don't care for any of that stuff(or on Berettas or dura-touch). I've held a couple and I kinda liked the thick forearm. The thing pointed really well for me.
War Wagon, I usually don't get into things with folks especially online as it really seems to not make any sense for many reasons but you can insert your "who cares" to the spinning ejecta(er whatever) topic! I really agree with your caring about the future of Remington! I loved em when I was little, and hope to in the future as well. As you said, maybe this is a step in the right direction for Remmy

Stylist: Mary
She's WONDERFUL! She cut and styled my mom's hair a few weeks back when Mom's original stylist had a last minute emergency. Mom called immediately after she left the salon and said, "I met your hair twin! YOU HAVE TO GO SEE MARY!!!" Mary indeed, has very similar hair to me. Add to that, she's had 4 kiddos, has nursed them, and knows what that does to your hair (I'm nursing my second baby now). She knew how I felt about the struggles with getting the curl back, fighting frizz, having scary haircuts, haircare, everything. Now, I have to admit, I did have a moment of, "Oh my...is this the right choice?" when she started trimming my hair, quickly forming ringlets, then trimming them with a scissors AND a razor type thing (I've never seen it before - it wasn't the straight razor I've seen in the past). But almost a week and a half later, with 90 plus heat and an insanely high dewpoint, I'll be the first to scream from the rooftop how perfect my hair is. SEE MARY! If you live in Waterford or near us, SEE HER! You won't regret it. And seriously, I'd pay four times what I really paid for a cut like this - and I only paid $25, including tip!

From the Cisco Podcast #7 "Monitoring Firewall Performance", the speakers said when the CPU usage consistently is at 50% or higher, that is the time to upgrade. They gave their reasons which made sense. And I can check the CPU usage with a show cpu usage command.
Are there any other signs beside CPU usage that it is time to upgrade the firewall?

Asus' U and UX series notebooks were announced a little while ago but thus far we've only seen the UX50V in the flesh and being as that's the big-daddy of the group of a supposedly slim and light range, we jumped at the chance to have a gander at the full complement here at Computex.
Starting with the UX50V's baby brother, we have the UX30. This is the, well let's not beat about the bush, MacBook Air copy, ala the MSI X340. It features a 13.3inch screen that sadly isn't borderless but nonetheless looks quite nice and has a typical resolution of 1,366 x 768.
Inside the UX30 you'll find either a dual- or single-core Intel CULV processor as well as Intel G545 graphics, up to 4GB RAM, and up to a 500GB hard drive. What you don't get, though is a CD drive as a consequence of the slim chassis (just 19.9mm at its thickest). Battery life also suffers somewhat because of size and weight limitations as even though the CPU is only a CULV, Asus only quotes a battery life of 4 hours.
Ergonomically it's a tidy enough machine that has a nice brushed aluminium top, smooth and thin tapered sides that use neat covers for the ports, yet a decent sized backlit keyboard - all the things that make the MacBook Air so desirable. The UX30 certainly doesn't come close to matching the Air's sense of quality though not least because only the top surface is aluminium, the rest is plastic. That said, it's definitely nicer than the MSI X340 and doesn't seem to suffer from the sorts of problems with its keyboard (appaling flex and iffy layout). All that remains to be seen is how much it sells for. If it can come in at below the £700 mark I can see a lot of people being tempted by one of these.

Online Games Become Popular Target for Hackers, Says G Data
According to G Data security solutions, computer games have become very popular and with their growing popularity, malware linked to these games is rising at a rapid pace.
The recent analyses done by the company revealed that there was a slight reduction in the number of targeted files at 63.7% in the second quarter of 2008, but still very high.
Security Analysts of the G Data said that gamers like to access online gaming Websites to search "cheat files" and other add-ons for computer games, which help in spreading of malware.
Further, due to rising activities of cyber game users, cyber crooks have started targeting gamers over the past 1 year.

I am a balanced RPG and combat GM / Player who likes to see the story line move forward but likes to kick a little butt along the way. I would like to not be in a group any bigger than 5 as we are limited on time each week and I want everyone to get a chance to shine. I am open to people who can GM as well since I like to play and don't get to often. NOTE: If you have anger issues, short temper, drug or alchohol problems, are a rules lawyer, min/maxer or are here to dominate the game please do not apply. Everyone who plays is a professional non-slacker with wives, families and are fairly normal (other than playing RPG games). I play to RP and have fun in a fantasy setting. Since as a group we hang out once a week we tend to become friends, that's an added nice side effect. All gaming group decisions are done by consensus, with GM (me or you if your running the game) with the final say. About Me Real Name: Darren Biography: IRON DM Gaunlet Winner 2010. I have been GMing since first Edition when Gygax first started. I have run almost every system out there and found that Pathfinder RPG / SWSE works best for my GM style and limited time to prepare. I like to play as well and am open to give anyone a shot at running a game. http://pathfinderrpgblog.blogspot.com/ http://starwarssagaedition.blogspot.com/ Signature Very few things in life are worth taking seriously... where you go after you die ... that's one of them! http://pathfinderrpgblog.blogspot.com/ http://starwarssagaedition.blogspot.com/ Contact This Page http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums/member.php/12399-dbatman4u?s=54d0a5bbbf28983cc2734309c2ffca4f Instant Messaging Send an Instant Message to dbatman4u Using...

Explore the pros and cons of countertop options.
This versatile material is probably the most widely used countertop material.
continue reading below
- Susceptible to damage from sharp knives and hot pans
- Dark lines (the laminate's underlayer) may show at edges (non-solid-color types)
- Damaged areas difficult to repair
Other considerations:
- To keep laminate countertops looking new longer, reserve them for less-used areas of your kitchen where they'll get less wear and tear.
- Locate any seams at corners. The stresses at unbroken corners can lead to cracking.
- Plan to spend $15 to $60 per running foot, installed.
A beautiful choice, particularly for country-style kitchens.
- Grout can stain or collect food particles
- Tiles can crack or chip
- Can dull knife blades
- Abrasion more noticeable on high-gloss finishes
Other considerations:
- Patterned tiles cost more than solid-color types. To cut costs, use solid-color tiles and patterned tiles in combination.
- Epoxy and acrylic grouts are more resistant to stains. For other grouts, most stains will come out with scouring powder and household bleach.
- Plan to spend about $8 per square foot, installed, for solid-color tiles. Patterned tiles start at about $2 apiece.
Pros:Solid-surface: durable and can be custom-formed.
- Durable and forgiving of scratches and blemishes (which can be sanded out because the color is solid throughout)
- Self-supporting -- needs no underlayment
- Nonporous -- resists mildew and stains
- Can be ordered custom-formed to hide seams; custom designs possible with contrasting inlays
- Available in many different patterns and finishes (some of which resemble granite, glass, or other stones)
- No match for sharp knives
- Can discolor if hot pots and pans are left in place
- Best installed by a professional contractor
Another consideration:
- Plan to spend about $125 to $200 per running foot, installed
True butcher block uses end grain for the work surface, but most wood counters resemble the example shown here.
- Requires periodic treatment with mineral oil (if left unsealed)
- Demands thorough, prompt cleaning after food preparation and exposure to moisture (if left unsealed)
- Protective surface sealers not always food-safe
- Humidity-sensitive, so not recommended over dishwashers and near sinks
- Scorches and dents easily
Another consideration:
- Plan to spend about $50 per running foot, installed
A high-end choice for serious cooks.
- Expensive, heavy, and often difficult to cut
- Requires frequent resealing (marble)
- Brittle, so thick slabs often required
- Expensive to repair
- Demands regular waxing and polishing to maintain sheen (granite and marble)
Other considerations:
- Save on materials costs by searching out salvaged pieces.
- Cut costs by using stone sparingly in combination with other countertop materials, such as just for the baking center.
- Plan to spend $120 to $200 per running foot, installed.
Perfect for a high-tech look.
- Shows nicks and scratches easily -- avoid scouring powders
- Needs a solid, firm underlayment or will dent
Other considerations:
- Like tile, stainless steel makes sense around cooktops and ranges as a landing area for hot pots and pans.

Oct. 27, 2010
Each Wednesday of the 2010 season, one of the Michigan women's soccer captains -- Jackie Carron, Kylie Neschke and Clare Stachel -- will give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the U-M program.
The Yellow Armband with Kyle Neschke
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27 -- Weekend Rating = 10.5 Biscuits
Minnesota: We checked into a very nice hotel located in downtown Minneapolis. Not so nice was the fire alarm that went off at 3 a.m. My roommate KG (Kristen Goncalves) and I were the only players on the fourth floor, so we never woke up to it. However, everyone else above us had to exit the building. Jackie (Carron) and Haley (Kopmeyer) had a pretty good idea what type of illegal smoke set of the fire alarm, seeing as they could easily smell it in the hall.
BIG Game vs. Minnesota! In years past, we recalled that Minnesota's locker room is right next to ours which means its chatter and music fill the guest locker room. Greg made an executive decision in order to remedy this situation; he purchased a SWEET speaker system so we could listen to our own music. It just so happens that our music was louder and better than theirs and, obviously, our dance party was way sweeter, too. (ex. song selection: Jock Jams, Bottoms Up, and Backstreet Boys `The Call') Michigan has a history of tying our overtime matches but this was definitely one to remember. With less than 30 seconds left in the second overtime, Nkem (Ezurike) rips a shot into the back of the net! The fastest most of our team ran all game was trying to chase after Nkem halfway around the field to celebrate!!!
Wisconsin: Home of cheese and Deano! Dean Duerst was our special travel guide this trip, taking us all around Madison. He showed us the places where he played soccer as a youth, houses he lived in while coaching, and a team favorite, the pretty restaurant overlooking a lake where he proposed to his wife! He also took us to lunch at this cute deli famous for its carnival atmosphere that the whole team enjoyed.
Game day vs. Wisconsin: While we were able to make a big win against Minnesota, sadly the exciting double overtime game ended in a loss against Wisconsin with less than two minutes to go. The airplane trip home was all DRAMA! We made some friends and a few enemies, but we made it home without any fights breaking out at 30,000 feet. Overall it was a very exciting weekend that was filled with tons of laughter and stories to remember! I can't wait to see all of our fans this weekend as we take on Iowa and Illinois! HAIL!

How long before the current Pirates break out with something, anything?
The Pirates are dead last in the league in runs (19), batting average (.188), on-base percentage (.235) and total bases (87).
The bright spot is that the pitching has held up its end, as Erik Bedard did again in falling to 0-3 despite a 2.65 ERA. But not much will matter until this team -- say it again -- starts hitting the ball. And that's not going to happen until a slew of individuals step it up. The lineup Monday night included an astounding seven starters with averages below .200. Four of them have lower averages than Bedard, who singled to raise his figure to .167.
Even presumed cleanup man Neil Walker is at .188, though an RBI single and a walk Monday continued a modest awakening.
"Very encouraging," manager Clint Hurdle said of Walker. "Like everyone else, he's been working hard, three, four days of extra batting practice, and getting some results always brings more confidence. All of a sudden, he's squaring up balls he's getting to hit. I know each and every one of them can do it."
Remains to be seen.
--3B/1B Casey McGehee, with seven hits in his first 24 at-bats, could be working his way into more playing time, manager Clint Hurdle suggested. "We like everything we've seen," Hurdle said. "It's hard not to have him in the lineup, out on the field."
--3B Pedro Alvarez probably won't be the one supplanted in the event the Pirates decide to give 3B/1B Casey McGehee additional playing time. Although Alvarez is off to a 1-for-20, 12-strikeout start, the Pirates are adamant about continuing to give him regular at-bats against right-handers. 1B Garrett Jones could see his role reduced.
--LHP Erik Bedard wasn't terribly efficient in allowing two runs over five innings. He walked four, gave up several other deep counts and needed 97 pitches to last as long as he did. Still, he was able to keep his innings mostly clean, and he's stood out as much as anyone in a solid rotation.
--RHP Evan Meek's uncertain 2012 gained little additional clarity after he allowed two runs on two hits, including a home run, in the sixth. His ERA is at 6.75, and he still has not regained his All-Star form -- or velocity -- of two years ago.
--RHP Joel Hanrahan's first save finally came Sunday in San Francisco, but that's no reflection on Hanrahan or the bullpen, which has a 2.54 ERA. "That's what we've been looking for: a chance to give the ball to our closer," manager Clint Hurdle said. Hanrahan was 40-for-44 in save opportunities in 2011.
BY THE NUMBERS: 6 -- One-run games, out of the Pirates' first 10. They're 3-3 in those contests.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I feel like I'm super late getting to the base all the time, then get myself into a little panic." -- INF Casey McGehee, on essentially learning first base after years at third base.

I tried the emulator and to my surprise I could run Viewtiful Joe on it without a single problem. Still prefer to play that game with a GC controller, but at least it was quite doable.
Anyway, started Xenoblade yesterday. Still far too early for me to have an opinion on it, but I like the British voices, even if the voice acting is a bit spotty. Artistically the game is quite nice as well, but from a technical point of view it really lags behind (low res textures, blocky models). But I consider artistic style to be a lot more important than the technical side of things.

…elites excel at hypocrisy. Elites can better distinguish ideals which are mainly given lip service, from ideals that really matter personally. Elites can better see which laws and social norms are actually enforced with strong penalties, and those that can be violated with impunity. This ability comes in part from implicit cultural learning, and also from just raw IQ. Homo hypocritus is alive and well – having good enough brains and social connections to manage hypocrisy well is still a core human capacity, as crucial for success in our world as it was for foragers.
This theory suggests that weak culture, the parts without strong local teeth, matter more for lower classes. Upper classes give lip service to whatever they are supposed to endorse, and then mostly ignore it to do what helps them personally. It is the lower classes that are more likely to naively do what culture suggests. They are more likely to "only marry for love" or "follow your bliss" or to think "its all relative anyway."

Product Details
California Gold™ Clay Bar System by Mothers®. Includes: Two 80 gram Clay Bars, 16 oz. California Gold® Instant Detailer, 15" x 15" Microfiber Towel. Clay bars are designed to provide a gentle shearing of your paint to remove hardened residue before waxing. If you've just washed your car and still feel bumpy or gritty residue, don't wax it before using Mothers Clay Bar Kit. The clay bars effectively grip and remove paint overspray, tree sap, and other small road debris that bonded to your paint. Kit comes with two bars of non-abrasive yellow clay, two microfiber cloths, and a spray applicator for lubricant.
- Kit comes with 2 clay bars, 2 microfiber cloths, and a spray applicator bottle for lubricant
- The high friction level of clay grips and pulls off surface grit that has bonded to your paint without being abrasive or harmful to the finish itself
- Great for removing tree sap, hardened bird waste, spraypaint mist, and airborne metallic dust
- After spraying lubricant, wipe clay bar over affected area one section at a time until bar moves smoothly without drag
Don't settle for a paint finish that's crusty from hardened debris, scrub it off safely and easily with Mothers California Gold™ Clay Bar System. If your car is regularly parked outside, it faces a non-stop onslaught of tree sap, acid rain deposits, and other airborne pollutants that settle and bond themselves onto your paint's surfaces. This results in a lumpy, gritty feel and look to paint that is noticeable even after you've washed your vehicle. Waxing won't remove this microscopic debris, it will only coat it to seal things in further. But all hope is not lost. A smooth, trophy-winning paint look and feel can be restored by the use of Mothers non-abrasive clay. Simply wash your vehicle, spray the included lubricant on the affected area, then wipe the bar of clay over it section by section. You'll feel some drag initially as the high-friction clay grips and pulls off surface grit, but as the foreign material is removed your bar will begin to move smoothly and easily. The kit comes with two clay bars, two microfiber cloths, and a spray applicator bottle for lubricant.
Since the company's earliest days, Mothers has employed experts in the field of automotive paintwork to develop products that perform at the top of their fields. If you're in need of sophisticated products that clean glass, leather, carpet, vinyl and rubber, take a look at the wide range of Mothers professional-grade cleaners we offer. When it's time to remove scratches, tar, or oxidation from paint and chrome, you'll find a wide range of Mothers products tailored to each application to give you strong results. And, of course, you won't be disappointed with our selection of Mothers waxes and polishes designed to give every part of your vehicle a professional concours-winning look. When you want to bring home the Best In Show trophy or simply show your vehicle off on cruise nights, Mothers products will help your vehicle stand out from the crowd.
Founded in 1971 in the diverse and creative car culture of southern California, Mothers® Polishes-Waxes-Cleaners began with a strong appreciation that customers who see their automobiles as works of art will always appreciate high quality products to clean, protect, and beautify their investments. The company first made refinements to carnauba wax to take it from a difficult-to-use, fussy hard paste to a softer blend with advanced liquid polishes – thus creating the ultimate natural wax product. As automotive paints advanced, Mothers met every challenge with cleaners, polishers and waxes designed to be most effective. A commitment to quality control and customer satisfaction won them a loyal owner base, and Mothers expanded their focus into a full line of premium quality waxes, cleaners, and polishes, for all automotive applications. Today, if you need to create a concours-winning look on chrome, bare metal, glass, rubber, leather, or paint, Mothers® is the only name you need to know.

For press inquiries or to schedule an interview with the Attorney General please contact:
503-378-6002 or firstname.lastname@example.com
About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Beginning today, settlement checks totaling more than $110,000 are being mailed to 183 Oregonians who filed claims for purchases of the anticancer drug Taxol or its generic form paclitaxel as part of a multi-state antitrust case against Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. A letter from Attorney General Hardy Myers explaining the payments is with each check.
The $55 million settlement resolved a lawsuit filed against the company in June 2003 by Myers, 49 other states, the District of Columbia and US Territories. The government lawsuit alleged that Bristol-Myers Squibb used fraudulent means to delay the entry of lower-priced generic versions of Taxol into the marketplace, thereby illegally inflating the cost of chemotherapy for Oregon patients.
Oregon consumers, who paid all or part of the cost for treatments with Taxol or paclitaxel, during the period from January 1, 1999 through February 28, 2003 and who submitted valid claims by February 29, 2004, will receive at least $525. Consumers who paid the entire cost for two or more treatments will be paid $438 for each such treatment. Oregon claims represented 1.4 percent of the total 12,723 consumer claims received nationally and Oregon consumers will recover 1.5 percent of the total consumer restitution of $7,242,114 million.
During the claims period, Attorney General Myers and other states sought and received two extensions from the federal court as the claim rate for reimbursement was lower than expected. "We're happy that we took extra steps to extend the claims deadline to make sure victims received the restitution due them," Myers explained. "Our claim numbers significantly increased after more advertising and seeking the help of groups such as the Oregon oncologists to assist in locating patients that might be eligible for restitution."
For more information about the Taxol case and the claims process, consumers may wish to visit the case website at www.taxolsettlement.com or call the Taxol Settlement Administrator at 1-800-659-7609. The Attorney General's consumer hotline may be reached by calling (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only) or toll-free at 1-877-877-9392.

I had already looked in /lib/modules and found the following possibly relevant modules: acpi.ko, p4-clockmod.ko, powernow-k6.ko, speedstep-smi.ko Indeed p4-clockmod.ko at face value seems to be the best bet for my Inspiron 8200 too. But I do not like trying things out if I can't find any solid documentation describing the workings. Furthermore there is also a module cpufreq-powersave.ko. What is this one supposed to do and in what context? The only documentation to be found is in the kernels-source directory with regard to cpufreq. This, with talk about 'governors' and things like that, does not seem to be relevant anymore and none of the above modules is mentioned. If this is supposed to work on some pcs/laptops I hope it at least gets a mention in the release-notes when FC2 comes out! ACPI also comes without any relevant documentation. Is this for the initiated only? You have to hunt all over the net for some docs and none describe in any detail how you can manipulate and use it. Alexander

Corrugated iron is much more than a cheap roofing material. It is a durable, biodegradable and environmentally-sound cladding system, sufficiently versatile to create one-off works of architectural sculpture and to house thousands in disaster zones. It can offer sleek lines, machine production and replicable components and the low-tech aspiration for affordability and ease of construction.
Today it is the material of preference for a new generation of architects, who have harnessed its versatility and character for a wide range of residential, corporate and industrial uses. This revival has coincided with an upsurge in enthusiasm for older corrugated iron buildings - which now tend to be either listed or rusting gently into the landscape.
Adam Mornement became fascinated by the story of corrugated iron. As well as uncovering remarkable facts from archives around the world, he has interviewed the leading architects in the field and had privileged access to their files.

1. Put your fork down: We've all heard mom preaching about chewing food thoroughly not just to avoid packing on the pounds, but to promote healthy digestion. One way to achieve that: Put your fork down after every bite, so you focus on what's in your mouth (rather than what you're going to shovel in next).
2. Switch hands: See what happens when you put your fork in your less-dominant hand. Chances are, you'll be forced to slow down. Too cumbersome for a relaxing meal? Eat your food with chopsticks — the focus on holding the sticks will redirect your thinking away from overstuffing. You could even eat with your hands (as they do in many cultures), but don't tell mom!
3. Use common sense: Regardless of what size and type of utensils you use, focusing on eating real, whole foods is the tried and true path to optimal health. So, eat slowly and balance your food choices, and it won't matter if you're using a fork or a spork!

Tori, so sorry you went through this today. I can totally understand your frustration with the vet. I think I would call and speak to the vet you normally use and explain what happened today. Poor Gus....I hope he isn't in pain. Please keep us posted.

Sorry I haven't been here in a little while, so I missed what happened to his foot. I would take him to the Vet just to be safe.
QUOTE=Grace'sMom;2095295]Okay guys... Need a little help here. Some "clear head" kind of thinking .....So I'm asking here what you would do:
I just took the bandage off Gus's foot.... I do this 3 times a day. But I really only look at it good in the morning and at night.
Took it off and the red is spreading down to his big pad (the center "foot" pad - not the "toe" pads)..... Which the big pad on the end by his dew claw is starting to get puffy.
Then it is going up toward the little pad that's up higher? I don't know the names...sorry. But it's going up and down now...not just his dew claw.
It's not smelly. Not oozing. Not bleeding.
But it's red...and it's puffy.
Do I just take a deep breath and wait until Wednesday and give the antibiotic time to kick in?
Or do I get up at 7am tomorrow and call the vet as we are on our way?
Is this an emergency?
Or do I need to cool my jets and give the Amox a few days?

Wow! I'm seriously speechless about that vet's approach :: poor Gus. tori, it does take a little while for antibiotics to work and the initial response could look worse before it looks better due to the killing of bacteria and the body's inflammatory response to that. But, I would expect to see some improvement by now. In humans, amoxicillin is not the best choice for skin infections. Maybe he needs to be switched to something like Cephalexin (comes in liquid form too) also known as keflex. That has great
Coverage of regular staph (not MRSA) and strep infections which are the two most common skin infxn culprits. Hopefully, he will improve quickly but fever worries me. I would Certainly NOT give benadryl if he is not itching. Let us know how he is doing.

That appt sounded somewhat familiar to me when I've seen doctors myself. The horrible bed side manner you can let slide one time, but a second? I'd make sure it was known to the owner how rude she is. I hope little Gus is feeling better today. Poor baby..you are doing a great job staying on top of this and I'm sure it will clear up.

The thing is... she was so NICE ... She said all these things so nicely.... It was nuts. I was like
He is resting. The red streak hasn't gone higher... the toe looks darker, so hoping it's a "good" darker.
Other vet said she probably would have done a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot just to be safe.... But to give the antibiotic another day.
Gave me some things to watch for in case the infection is spreading. But so far he seems okay. Well, other than the foot being sore and red.
Fever is the same.
Will see her on Wednesday morning, bright and early. If it's still no improvement she will do a shot and maybe switch his antibiotic.... We will discuss removing them at that appointment...but it would probably wait until after the new year.

Tori, I realized what had come out is not what I wrote, sorry.
You certainly (and Gus certainly) need to be treated that way.
should have read
You certainly (and Gus certainly) need NOT to be treated that way.
I can not tell you how sorry I am, it was a typo. I absolutely think the vet was wrong, and you should never have been treated that way. I am mortified at the typo and for any hurt I may have caused when you read it; I would never write anything to intentionally hurt anyone. I am especially saddened that it was a time you feeling such stress. Often when I read things I have written I insert in my mind words (like not) that are not there.

WE had a vet when we first moved into Napoleon, who treated us the same way, blew me off and said I was over reacting. Buffy died 20 minutes after we left his office!
I switched vets.I would seriously consider bringing this up to the regular vet and owner or manager of the clinic....
Kissies and hugs to Gussy and Grace too.

I agree with everyone else's on the vet.. I believe big part of being a good doctor/vet, is to listen to what patient has to say about the illness and their story. Each patients come from different background, different story that might be contributing to their problems, and the doctor/vet not listening to them makes be eerie of ever having to go back to her for future visits... I hope you and Gus come out of this mess with vet unscathed. Both Grace and Gus is so lucky to have you as their mum

Thanks everyone
And Walter - i didn't read anything in a wrong way I knew you left out that word So no worries!
Gus is still resting.
I had to go help my sister tonight. My dad said he sat on the chair in the living room and cried quietly the whole time
His fever is down for now though. So I think that is good. He is limping a bit. But the vet today also messed with it which I know didn't help anything.
Our vet is calling again in the AM to check on him. She may have me take him into see the owner, since she is not there on Tuesdays.
I really just want it off But... like someone said earlier... not sure that can eb done while it is infected.

"Villa Bonita Cancun has the perfect ambiance for a Caribbean family vacation!"
Left on 07/24/2015 for a stay in July 2015
The Villa Bonita Cancun was a very spacious, elegant and well thought out villa for large groups of 8 traveling on vacation to enjoy the Caribbean and the sites of Cancun and surrounding areas in Mexico. The decor was exquisite, furniture comfortable, and the staff was courteous (only the property manager spoke English). The villa is four levels, including the rooftop pool and lounging area with large gathering areas to eat, gather or just relax. The grounds indoors and out were very well kept and immaculately cleaned by two full time staff members. Free wifi was great but slow and unpredictable. We especially enjoyed the thoughtfulness of the small details of televisions throughout the villa, bluetooth music availability throughout (even on the roof), décor that was very thoughtfully planned as to give the perfect ambiance for vacation and balconies with stunning views throughout. A few things to make your trip more enjoyable: 1. Bring face towels with you (white is strongly suggested). Large white bath towels are provided and also large beautiful colorful beach towels. There were no face towels, bring some with you. We bought the only ones we could find and they were purple. Lots of dye was used because the purple bled on other items when washed, so bring white face towels with you. 2. Ensure to brush up on your Spanish or have a smart phone available with translation apps to communicate with staff. The property manager is not on the site except when checking in and out, but could be reach by telephone (a local telephone was available in the villa but was turned off our last day). The staff does not speak English at all. 3. A rental car is suggested...
"Amazing beach, amazing bargain and great service!"
Left on 06/12/2015 for a stay in June 2015
This Was our second trip to Solymar Condos and this time we stayed a total of three nights, two at the beginning of our month long vacation and one at the tail end. I must say Michelle has been fabulous to work with both trips. My husband stayed in Mexico for a few weeks so when we returned to Solymar at the end of the trip my son and I we both feeling really down, Michelle made sure we were in a quiet room and she took the time to chat with my son to get him excited about turtle watching and not missing my husband. The rooms are always incredibly clean and the air conditioners work well which is a BIG help when it is so humid. The last night our room was newly renovated, and it was very nice. I like having the kitchen in the room along with everything you might need should you decide to cook, it makes it handy to run back to the room for a quick snack or lunch, especially since there really isn't much within walking distance. Since the hotel is further down the strip it makes it a little easier to relax while out on the beach because there isn't a large crowd.. trying to keep an eye on your child on a busy beach, is just not very relaxing in my opinion. I am sure many mothers can relate to this especially when traveling alone with children. We will definitely be back to visit again in the near future!!! Thanks Michelle and Peter for sharing paradise with us!!!

Left on 06/13/2015 for a stay in June 2015
Our host, Michelle, was super sweet. The area was safe, this is in the Hotel Zone, and well lit. The condo is in a hotel. Part of the building is set up as a full functioning hotel and the rest seems to be residential apartments. It added to a clam and quiet stay. Michelle's add was accurate. She mentions that the WiFi is not that great and this is accurate. The condo had everything we needed to cook. We went to the market for supplies and saved a lot of money. Peter, Michelle's husband, provided us with a map of our area, places to shop, eat and party. They provided bath towels and beach towels. We had fresh clean water, which we got from the Hotel shop for 48 pesos. It lasted us all 9 days. The pool area is there, but we only stayed on the beach. The Hotel staff will not be helpful and we always went to Michelle and Peter for any questions we had. They are your front desk. The air conditioning in this unit was great. Our view was amazing. I could not believe our view. We picked up a rental car to drive around and parking at the hotel was a breeze. We were told the restaurant of the Hotel and the pool bar were horrible so we stayed away. But the hotel shop was great. In the shop they had chips, cookies, souvenirs and cold drinks. The bus (R-1 and R-2) was easy to find and easy to figure out. The room was clean. The balcony was large and a nice way to enjoy the view in the evening and in the morning when the sun is rising. We did not turn on the TV because we had so much to do. I...

Wow , is al I can say!! A condo/hotel with the cleanest rooms in Cancun area. Ocean view condos right on the beach, with every amenity in the kitchen. Coffee maker, toaster oven, ice cold refrigerator, clean sheets and bedding and a sparklingly clean bathroom!! Michelle and Peter are the hosts of this condo. I had never stayed in a condo/hotel before and I was so pleased with my stay./ Everything about this condo and host is 100 percent. You can NOT beat the pricing for a 400 sq foot studio with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Masages on the beach, 2 pools, palapa huts on the beach, and the BEST beach and calm water in the area!! Dont wait to book your stay. These hosts really know their business and book quickly.

Holiday Gift Guide: Swimmers
It's that season! The season of shopping. If you're like me and hate big crowds– avoiding Black Friday like I'll get the Bubonic Plague if I go–head to the internets! I love Amazon shopping.
If you have a swimmer in your life, or want to become one yourself, here are some great gift ideas to start out with.
Swimming Buoy–I love my buoy! It's a great tool to have for swimming laps. It helps develop your upper body AND it can give your lower body a rest after some hard laps.
Swimming Paddles— These are also great for developing upper body strength. The paddles are also wonderful tools for beginners learning how to freestyle. Wearing paddles helps you improve your form (and stop slapping your hands into the water).
Swimming Cap–I never swim without my cap. It protects my hair from the chlorine damage and keeps my hair out of my eyes. It's so useful for people with long hair!
Swimming Goggles–They really do make the experience so much nicer. I see people swimming laps in the pool without them and they just look miserable. I don't know how they do it without goggles.
Nose Clips–I never swim without mine!
Swimming Flippers–Some people really love swimming with fins and a snorkel. Give it a try if you want to. Make sure your ankles are pretty strong before using flippers or you could experience some discomfort.
Swimming Drills–This book intrigues me. I haven't read it yet but I kinda want it for myself! I do my own drills in the pool. I have a base routine and then make up drills for myself. But if you're a newbie and not sure what to do, having a guide is a good idea.
Lap Computer–This thing looks cool. "The Pool-Mate will record and display lap count, time, average strokes per lap, speed, distance, calories and efficiency. The computer has enough memory to store and recall up to 400 sessions, and will record the same data for individual sets within a session (up to 99 sets) so you can evaluate performance changes across a session." Dear Santa: I kinda want this! 🙂
Anti-Fog Spray–I hate it when my goggles fog up!
Swimsuit–Having a good swim suit makes a world of difference. Make sure you get one that will last. Those cheapy ones you can buy in most department stores will not last long for a lap swimmer. Soon they will be faded, stretched out and maybe even see-through!
As you can see there are TONS of really great gifts out there for the swimmer in your life and they will be forever grateful for new toys to play with in the pool. Happy shopping!
QUESTION: What's your favorite swimming item?

I love swimming, but I've never tried 'real' swimming as exercise. I keep thinking I'd like to one of these days!
I would like to suggest a waterproof MP3 player. I use a waterproof iPod shuffle and I get stopped all the time by people that want one. Also a waterproof heart monitor really helps.
This is great! So many list out there give ideas for runners….I love you catering to swimmers!

Laptop & iPad Skin
CANADAby Anna Trokan
Skins are thin, easy-to-remove, vinyl decals for customizing your laptop . Skins are made from a patented material that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles for easy application.
For the last several months I've been traveling & am currently in British Columbia. Along the way I've been documenting everything with my camera with hopes to eventually turn my images into a project. Here is a badge I've made for one of our first stops on our trip, Lake Louise in Banff National Park. I plan to make badges / logos for the major milestones of my travels to go along with my photographs. More to come!

Members of the Republican party have finally identified the real threat from terrorists, and they are furious at refusal of President Obama to respond to a potential influx of thousands of militants who pose a real and present danger to our nation. No, these are not Muslim terrorists. No, these are not members of violent members of Boko Haram from Nigeria. No, they are not coming from eastern Ukraine with guns in hand. Thank God, we have Republican Congressman Michael McCaul who has identified the most important threat to our survival as a nation. So, who are the terrorists seeking to dwell within our midst while they employ their weapons of horror? If you go to our border with Mexico and gaze outward it is possible to see the advancing hordes descending upon our border. They are children fleeing beatings, rape and murder. And, now, according to the Republican party they intend to enter our hallowed grounds and commit horrors unknown to Americans. They intend to go to school, do their homework or work in our fields picking peaches and strawberries. Imagine the mayhem that will emanate from these actions?
Congressman McCaul has a plan. "I think we have to have a deterrence, and if we are to build facilities, we should build them in countries of origin in Central America." He wants to construct warehouses for the children. Talk about a man who loves Jesus Christ. There is no doubt if Jesus was alive today he would be standing on the border line with gun in hand aiming at—? Who is the question?

I have a '79 Monte that I'm putting a 283 into. Here's my question. I want to keep my power steering, can I use a short water pump and still keep my power steering pump? The reason I want to go with the short water pump is because the heads do not the assy holes in it. It seems there are more options for using a short water pump over the long. I think I've heard if I use a triple groove crank pulley I can still use my power steering pump. Does anyone know if that's true?
Both your PS and alternator would be on the same side. I'm not sure if they would interfere with each other.
You don't necessarily need the accessory hole to mount the alternator. You can make a bracket from angle iron extending from the front exhaust /header bolt.
No your pump will not work, neither will the other pulleys. You have encountered the biggest downfall associated with using pre 70's heads. You can fabricate a bracket of sorts that uses the front intake manifold bolt and the front exhaust bolt on the alternator side. I have never seen one commercially available but I've made them from 1/4" stock, a lot of labor and some torch work. DO those heads have hard exhaust seats? If not you will also have durability problems.
There is a bunch of options you can go to. Your best bet IMO is to got to someone like Vintage Air, or HotRod Air. Zoops also makes an excellent line of quality brackets. Most of the brackets have been developed for street rods which almost always use the short chevy water pump due to clearance issues. So just about all their brackets are for short pumps. Vintage and Hot Rod Air both have brackest that bolt only to the water pump and intake manifold. Theses are for the early heads, or a situation where you wish to keep the accessories in close to the engine.
You have several options.
Buy or make all mew brackets so your accessories stay in the original place, or use the brackets that go with the engine, 68 and earlier, and re plumb and rewire everything. Just be sure the fan sets in the shroud where it should. Good Luck.
If you don't make mistakes. your not doing anything.

Thanks for the responses. I have zero brackets and the only pulley I have is on my power steering pump. I don't have a water pump neither. I was planing on buying new brackets and pulleys. I have not had the heads to the machine shop yet, so I'm going to get the harden seats. While I have them there, should I have them drill and tap some accessory holes? Do the holes pose any problems like leaks?
Drilling and tapping the heads for acc. holes does not usually work. There is not enuff meat in the front of the heads and the outer surface is not flat. I've seen it tried many times and it usually always is at best a cobble job.
To address the hardened seat problem, check out the prices before you just drop the heads off. I've been in this business for over thirty years and by the time you pay for the seats and all the other things involved(guides, valvejob, mill, seals, etc) you can buy a 350 complete engine (or even a car) and have all the brackets you need plus a better engine for your purpose.
Listen to Bob, drilling accessory holes in early heads never works. Don't let anybody mess those heads up by telling you outherwise. There is not enough material there.
