Need assistance installing brazilian cherry stairway
I recently purchased a brazilian cherry stairway kit from an internet vendor. I would greatly appreciate any tips, pointers, advice etc. on how to properly install this stairway kit.
In, particular, I have the following questions:
1. How to accurately cut the hand rail going up/down from the landing platform.
2. How to install the wrought iron balusters.
3 Should I start from the 2nd floor and work down of should I start from the first floor andwork up? The second floor is currently carpeted. Should I install the hardwood on the second floor prior to starting the stairway?
4. What is the best way to cut the hardwood platform to fit the landings?
5 What is the best way to install all the skirtboards?
6. Anything else I should be aware of when attempting this project.
I have attached links to pictures of my current stairway. The hardwood kit would look very similar to this since I wanted to keep everything as simple as possible.
Thank you in advance for any assistance offered.
What happened to the instructions that came with the kit? The kit should have been ordered based on you house setup, these are not universal kits.
I just ordered the required items such as 40 balusters, 16 feet of hand railing, 5 right hand replacement treads, 5 left hand replacement treads etc. I had to provide the vender with pictures of my current stripped down stairway and other information such as the dimensions of my treads are which are 42 inches wide and 10 inches deep. The vendor then determined which items such as treads and risers I needed.
The vendor's site does have some basic stairway 101 info such as describing what a newel is or describing what a skirtboard is. There is absolutely nothing that can be considered detailed installation instructions.
I have a fairly good idea on how to approach this task. But since this is my first stairway upgrade, I'd like to hear from the experts on how they would tackle this task since my approach is probably not the best approach.
In thinking about this, this is going to be a tough install. The 2X treads will have to come off as they would show under the new tread even if you cut the nosing off the old tread. You would also have to add another riser to cover the old tread up.
Another reason you will have to take the old treads off is adding the thickness of the new tread on top of the old tread will make your first step way out of code and very dangerous, leaving the old treads would make the two landing 1/4 inch different also.
This just an example, say your rise is 7 1/2 inches from top of tread to top of tread. That would also make your rise from top of tread to top of landing 7 1/2 inch. This is the way your stairs is now. Say we remove the tread below the landing, which the tread is 1 1/2 inches thick. From the top of the stringer to the top of the landing is now 9 inches with the tread removed. OK we add back the new tread which is say, 1 inch thick, now we have 8 inches from the top of the tread to the landing. You will need a landing tread which is 3/4 inch thick, with this extra thickness of 3/4 inch you now have 8 3/4 inches which is totally not acceptable as some one would surly fall or trip.
The landing is fixed with 3/4 plywood for decking, using these measurements you would have to cut down the framing of the landing 1 1/4 inches and add back the 3/4 plywood. Then you will see how much lower the landing is than the upper stringer. When you remove the treads on the upper stringer and add the new tread you will be 1/4 inch too low. You can rip 1/4 inch strips glue and nail the strips to the stringers and once the new tread is added you will come back to the correct height. Cutting the carpet back on the top landing and installing a landing tread and you are ready to do the rest.
I will let one of the younger fellows check this out to make sure I am thinking straight.
One more quick note, all of these changes more than likely will mess up the height of your skirt boards and they will have to be adjusted. If no one else chimes in I will try to help you through this, although, I am an ole man and my thinking is a little rusty now days.
1. How to accurately cut the hand rail going up/down from the landing platform.
Make a pitch block. Take a piece of plywood and mark out the 10" for the run of the stair then measure the riser height, now connect to make a triangle. That will give you all the info you need.
2. How to install the wrought iron balusters.
Get a laser plumb bob or string bob and make holes top & bottom. Drill holes. Drive Kreg screw into bottom hole, it will secure baluster and drive it up slightly. Put shoe on before driving screw.
3 Should I start from the 2nd floor and work down of should I start from the first floor andwork up? The second floor is currently carpeted. Should I install the hardwood on the second floor prior to starting the stairway?
4. What is the best way to cut the hardwood platform to fit the landings?
Buy a piece of 1/4" plywood, rip into 3" wide strips. Take strips and place against outside dimensions. Hot glue together. Take template and place on landing, trace and cut. DO NOT glue down landing, it will split.
5 What is the best way to install all the skirtboards?
Take the pitch block and place on skirt, when it reads level you have the correct angle for the skirt. Use a tuning fork to mark skirt for miter cuts.
6. Anything else I should be aware of when attempting this project.
Unless you are pretty darn handy, hire a professional.
As Jim stated you will have riser height concerns. Rough treads will need to come off. Place one of the treads you bought on the stair at various locations, I.E. 1st tread, tread before landing, directly above landing , last tread before top landing. There is a good chance they will be different. Build up with birch plywood and PL Premium adhesive, use plenty.
I've removed one 2X tread and placed the new tread in its place. The new tread is 44 inches long and the original 2X tread was 42 inches long. Thus, the tread installment seems to be a "piece of cake" since 2 inches are allowed for the open bullnose end. I'll probably only have to compass/scribe and belt sand the other end to get a tight fit against the skirtboard. As, jiju1943 pointed out, I might have a skirtboard issue at the platform landing.
The 7 1/2 inch risers appear to fit without any problem. I may have to "shave" a riser or two to get a level fit for the tread above the riser by ripping it.
Also, I'll have to notch the first tread to mount the starting newel to the first riser using lag bolts. It looks like I'll also have to notch out the landing newel with my band saw so that I can have half of the bottom sitting on the landing and then I can use the other half to mount the landing newel to the riser below the landing with lag bolts. Anybody have any other suggestions for mounting the landing newel?
My approach is to install the treads and risers from the first floor to the landing. I'll temporarily nail everything in to verify that there aren't any potential issues. After which, I'll install the newels, hand rails and balusters. If everything goes as planned, I will continue from the second platform landing up to the second floor.
Keith, thanx much for the advice. I really apreciate it and will be putting it to good use. One question though. Would it be wise to put Lumber Liquidators 1/8 inch felt underneath the landing platforms to reduce the possibility of sqeaking?
As a last resort, I can use the original red oak newels and railing as a template to installing the new stairway since the hardwood I ordered is almost an exact duplication of this original railing system.
Finally, can anyboday identify any glaring issues with the technique that I will be using as indicated above?
I hope everything goes well, but I'm a little concerned.
I do custom stairs everyday for a living. Most seasoned carpenters pause before taking on a stair job. Reworking a production staircase is one of my least favorite things. Almost certainly errors were made when the job was done the first time. You do not want to use the old as a template for new. First of all it doesn't work well even if things were done well in the beginning.
Do yourself a favor and rip out ALL the skirtboard, if you don't you'll wish you had when it is too late.
CHECK you're riser heights at EVERY transition. The likelihood that everything is correct is almost zero. This is your house and you have a chance to fix it now.
Newel posts go on first. PL Premium will make a very big difference in how secure the newels are.
Skirts next, followed by landings. You didn't ask what a tuning fork is. If you are unfamiliar with the term you will want to find out. They are a big help.
There are a couple of different ways to do the landings. I assume that you have a glued up single landing tread. Squeaks are the result of wood moving up and down against nails. Slip membrane is so the wood can expand and contract easily. I put some adhesive down near the middle of the landing tread, in the walk line making sure there is room for expansion at the wall line and first riser.
Risers are installed, then treads.
Forget the belt sander, it will only make things worse. Put a framing square against the riser and check wall skirt for square. The best solution is to spend a few bucks and get a Collins stair jig (under $100), with that you can't miss.
I've put up a few basic stair building videos at Youtube intended for the beginning tradesman but it may help you in this case as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Y0NpVlK4E
Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine
All your points have been well taken. I ordered the Collins stair jig. I'm assuming that you're referring to a skirtboad jig used to accurately miter the skirtboard for the treads and risers. IMHO, the jig with a handle does look like a tuning fork.
Thanx again for all the info.

Louisville, which defeated ACC rival Miami 31-13 on Monday, will face in-state FCS program Murray State on Saturday night at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. The contest against the Racers presents a different sort of challenges for Bobby Petrino as he preps his team for week two.
Coming off an impressive and emotional season-opening victory - one that lifted the program into the AP Top 25 – the Cardinals could easily fall into the trap of not respecting their opponent and not give a similar effort at practice throughout week.
"Well, it will challenge our maturity," said Petrino. "I think the No. 1 thing we need to do is come out and practice today and work on getting better ourselves. We saw on video, we have a lot of improvement to make technically on our technique and fundamentals and consistency."
Murray State defeated Division III opponent Union College in its opener, winning 73-26. The Racers utilize a no-huddle offense, featuring multiple weapons in the passing and running attack. They gained 535 total yards, including 298 on the ground.
"They are up-tempo and really fast, which is college football today," U of L defensive coordinator Todd Grantham told Cardinal Authority on Wednesday. "We'll have our hands full. We just got to execute."
Following a day off on Tuesday, the players reviewed film on Wednesday morning and then hit the practice fields later in the evening. Grantham was pleased at the maturity level and focus that the players displayed during two-hour workout.
"I thought it was a good work day," he said. "It was a grind day. I thought the guys for the most part worked and did what they had to do."
The focus during practice on Wednesday and Thursday is to correct the mistakes they saw on film and strive to improve each day out.
"I think if we can do those things and really focus on our execution and doing things the way we need to do them," Petrino said. "And getting better; I think that's the biggest thing is our players understand that we need to continue to improve and get better."
Kickoff for Murray State (1-0) at Louisville (1-0) is slated for 7:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN3.

So much of slapping going around! I do not want to comment on whether the slap that Harvinder Singh landed on agriculture minister Mr. Sharad Pawar was right or wrong. It's a rather complicated issue involving more than just politics but we sure can discuss Bollywood slaps.
Bollywood heartthrob Deepika Padukone recently made news with something other than acting. Yeah! Right! A slap is the foolproof plan to ultimate fame. The industry has changed in different aspects over time but the basics of getting publicity seem to remain the same.
Off late Deepika slapped a television host Vivaan in a newly launched show on Zoom TV. She also had an explanation to the same. Read on and judge for yourself whether the reason was justified.
The actress later stated that the achor of the particular show, Vivaan is a known face to her. He had apparently worked with the famed actress in a not so famed movie, i.e. 'Karthik calling Karthik'. The slap as it seems was a mere hello to an old acquaintance. Trust me it all started with a slap.
In an interview to a reputed daily the actress clarified that her first shoot of 'Kartik calling Kartik' was with Vivaan and it apparently was a scene where she had to slap him. Deepika felt that as it was the first episode of the show it ought to start with a slap. Smart though eh! Well she sure is showing a bold face to the media and her fans worldwide. Deepika also seems to have handled the situation in a pretty cool manner.
For the TV hosts let's hope Deepika is no more invited to first episodes of shows especially with people she has had a history of slapping. Bold and the beautiful! Is it?

The diagnosis of intestinal obstruction in pregnancy is difficult, as the symptoms may mimic pregnancy-associated complaints. The surgical management is challenging, as the mortality rate of midgut volvulus in pregnancy is high. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman at 21 weeks and 5 days of gestation with small bowel obstruction who presented to our institution with a 24 h history of colicky abdominal pain and nausea and who finally had a successful open repair.

Taylor and Paul were married at Royal Oaks Farm in Harvard Ill. on June 14. "We visited our wedding site in the middle of a huge snowfall and knew through all the snow that it was going to be beautiful," Taylor said. "It was perfect for us." The bride wore a v-neck a-line wedding gown, accessorized with her hair down in loose curls with a fingertip-length veil and gold leaf earrings, while the groom wore a gray suits, accessorized with plaid ties. Bridesmaids wore short coral chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of dahlias, scabiosa pods, pincushions, and craspedia balls. "I had all my best friends in my wedding with me," she said. "God gave us the most beautiful day too." The ceremony took place outside overlooking 120-acres of apple orchards. Aisles were lined with wood slices etched with the words of 1 Corinthians 13 on them such as: it's faithful, patient, and love never fails. "I loved all the wood pieces that my father-in-law cut and my father and I sanded down and wrote on for the aisles," Taylor said. Fun fact: After the "I dos,' portraits were taken on the carousel. Guests were asked to write their advice and well wishes on pieces of Jenga blocks. "My sister gave the best maid of honor speech," she said. "I barely teared up all day, but I definitely cried during her speech." Tables were decorated with burlap runners, mason jar centerpieces, and votive candles. Plus, the cake was only two-tiers of ruffled, buttercream frosting goodness. Yum! The newlyweds' best advice? "Remember that no matter what details get messed up or can't happen, you are marrying your best friend and that is all that really matters about the whole entire day," Taylor said.

Cleveland Way
Trail Details
> Prices from: £ 695.00 per person
> Start / Finish: Helmsley, North Yorkshire / Filey, North Yorkshire
> Distance: 109 miles (176 km)
> Duration: 9 or 10 days according to choice
> Availability: Any Start Date from March to October
> Grading: Moderate
> This National Trail is well way-marked with White Acorn signs
Cleveland Way Highlights
- A superb walk of complete contrasts - wild moorlands & dramatic cliff tops
- Spectacular walking on the North York Moors
- Visit the remains of Rievaulx Abbey or 13th Century Whitby Abbey
- Visit the Captain Cook Monument in Whitby
- Explore Robin Hoods Bay & its cliff-hanging cottages & smugglers' hideouts
The Cleveland Way follows a route of 110 miles through beautiful landscapes and ever-changing scenery and was the second National Trail to be established in the UK (the Pennine Way was first), officially opening in 1969.
The contrast between the open heather-clad moorlands and the high coastal cliffs means that the trail is essentially two completely different walking experiences.
Beginning in the attractive market town of Helmsley, The Cleveland Way heads across the spectacular heather moorland of the North York Moors National Park before reaching the coast at Saltburn-by-the-Sea. From here it is a magnificent coastal walk along the dramatic and rugged North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast to the seaside town of Filey, passing through beautiful, old fishing villages and lively coastal towns on the way.

There's no place like home… There's no place like home…And there's nothing like leaving it, without even having to stamp your lil' bluebook. Indeed, America's vast. And diverse. Oregon to Outer Banks, Newport to New Smyrna — some of these lands are strange as foreign countries. Except they're not. Everything is in our backyard and we can't help that our backyard is the size of, like, 20 Frances. So we load up the pickup truck, mom's minivan, the beatup 'wagon and explore home. From snow-covered beaches to condo-lined coves, the following is an account of local journeys in the Land of the Free.

I told my wife last night, she is going to be tested this fall, I will be out somewhere every chance i get. I dont care if I get into a bunch of ducks or geese, i am at least going to be somewhere that I can put my decoys out and sit and watch the world wake up around me. That is what hooked me on duck hunting, hunting in general. Back in the late great golden state on the refuge we used to hunt, the morning was awesome. You had a good two hours after getting set up of waiting, listening to pintails flying above, mallards off in the distance. At the same time every morning the snows and specks would come off the rice fields and the sound was defeaning. I am not giving that up, absolutely not. Even if all I could do was bust ass to get to the best spot, set up my decoys, and freeze my ass off waiting for shoot time in the predawn chill, and not shoot anything. I would still be out everytime I could, it speaks to my soul, but as much as it does, shooting a big fat mallard drake in the face speaks a whole lot louder then just sitting there.

Recent cases on intoxication
Stickley, Amanda P. (2008) Recent cases on intoxication. Queensland Lawyer, 29(3), pp. 134-138.
|Accepted Version (PDF 162kB)
Intoxication of a plaintiff raises many issues in a negligence action – duty of care, breach of duty, causation and the defence of contributory negligence. Recently intoxication has been examined by the Full Court of Tasmania in relation to duty and breach and by the New South Wales Court of Appeal in respect of causation and contributory negligence.

S&P Ups AIG to Buy
American International Group(AIG ) : Ups to 4 STARS (buy) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Cathy Seifert
AIG announced that it expects to incur after-tax losses from Hurricane Katrina of approximately $1.1 billion, of which $900 million are insurance claims. We are lowering our third quarter earnings per share estimate of 43 cents to 82 cents to reflect this exposure, which we view as manageable, given AIG's capital base in excess of $85 billion. We believe the pricing power that will likely emerge as a result of Katrina's insured losses will provide AIG shares with a catalyst. We are raising our 12-month target price by $2 to $72, which implies a forward price/book multiple of 2 times our 2006 estimated tangible book value.
Biogen Idec (BIIB ): Ups to 4 STARS (buy) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Frank DiLorenzo, CFA
Biogen Idec will provide a safety update in the coming weeks on Tysabri in rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease, as previously expected. It plans to submit a supplemental BLA for Tysabri to the Food and Drug Administration following safety review. While we had removed Tysabri from our models, we think a clean safety review and limited approval could provide some upside, though we still do not see strong commercial success. However, we are positive on Rituxan and on the company's restructuring. Assuming Biogen Idec trades to a 1.6 times p-e-to-growth, using our 2006 earnings per share estimate of $1.94, our 12-month target price rises $1 to $48.
Avon Products (AVP ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Howard Choe
On broad weakness across its geographies, Avon has lowered its 2005 earnings per share guidance to a rise in low-to-mid single digits, down from a prior $2.03 to $2.08 (15% to 18% rise). Though Avon attributes some of the weakness to Hurricane Katrina, we are more concerned about a slowdown in developing markets. We are lowering our 2005 earnings per share estimate to $1.88 from $2.04, 2006's to $1.88 from $2.09 and our 12-month target price to $29 from $34, about 15 times estimates. With Avon already at a 20% discount to peers and indicated down sharply this morning, we believe low earnings visibility is largely in the price.
Goodyear Tire (GT ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Efraim Levy, CFA
Goodyear announced that it has retained advisers to help it sell its engineered products business. Although the divestiture should reduce the company's annual revenues by about $1.5 billion and eliminate profit contributions, we believe the announcement fits Goodyear's strategy of selling non-core assets and reducing debt. Proceeds from a possible sale could help reduce some of the company's sizable debt obligations, in our view. We give credit to management for what we view as a significant performance improvement and for restructuring the company's balance sheet.
Christopher & Banks (CBK ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold) Opinion
Analyst: Jason Asaeda
Christopher & Banks posted in-line August quarter earnings per share of 16 cents vs. 15 cents. Gross margins widened on inventory controls and a renewed focus on distinctive fashions. However, expenses deleveraged on a 3% same-store sales gain, due to the company's Acorn acquisition and above-plan payroll and medical expenses. We are reiterating our fiscal year 2006 (ending February) earnings per share estimate of 83 cents, but we have limited visibility due to soft early fall sales. September same-store sales are tracking flat despite an easy year-ago 7% decline comparison. We are lowering our 12-month target price by $2 to $16, based on updated discounted cash flow and p-e-growth metrics.
FuelCell Energy (FCEL ): Ups to 3 STARS (hold) from 2 STARS (sell)
Analyst: Royal Shepard
FuelCell has dropped below our 12-month target price of $11, as investor reaction to Katrina and the Energy Policy Act has begun, in our opinion, to settle down. We continue to look for break-even results in 2009, reflecting increased production volumes and about a 50% reduction projected in unit manufacturing costs. Persistently high prices for natural gas, a principal fuel for FuelCell's systems, could still push out commercial adoption. We are leaving our target price unchanged, based on relative peer and discounted cash flow valuations.
99 Cents Only Stores (NDN ): Cuts to 2 STARS (sell) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Jason Asaeda
We are cutting our 2005 earnings per share estimate by 11 cents to 32 cents, as we see 99 Cents Only's low income customers tightening their spending over the next few quarters as a result of higher gasoline and utility prices. The company's inability to raise prices, as well as the intense competition from other extreme value retailers, add to our guarded outlook. We note ongoing delays in the company's 10-Q filings, and we think that is due to weak internal controls over its financial reporting. We are lowering our target price to $8.50 from $13 on updated p-e to growth and discounted cash flow valuations. We think 99 Cents Only is overvalued, given near-term challenges we see.

Bridgescale Invests in Corporate Training Application Vendor Axonify
Today we announced that Bridgescale invested in next generation teaching software company, Axonify. Axonify, formerly 17muscles, is pioneering the use of social media and gamification to corporate training. The e-learning market is a $30 billion market and it is ripe for innovation. Currently, 40 million users log into social gaming every day. We believe a good number of these gamers are employed by some of the world's largest corporate organizations and that they could greatly benefit from Axonify's training.
Axonify has already penetrated some of the largest US retailers who are currently using their technology to train employees in a fun and productive way. Axonify uses some of the most recognized research on this subject matter to focus on retention, not just training.
Bridgescale's deep expertise in understanding next generation human resource management software makes Axonify a great fit for our investment thesis.

People did not vote for Mrs Thatcher back in 1979 because they had suddenly been convinced of the merits of free markets, monetarism and neo-liberal economic policies.
They voted for her because they were fed up with strikes and being pushed around by union bosses who behaved as if the entire economic system should be run for their benefit and wanted something different.
People did not vote for new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn at the weekend because they suddenly turned socialist.
They voted again because they are fed up with austerity and the way bankers and big business bosses give the impression that the entire economic system exists for their benefit.
Over-powerful union bosses then and over-rewarded business leaders today are the two sides of the same coin.
Comment since his elevation has usually described Corbyn's economic ideas as sad, bad or mad, but it is worth trying to separate what he is trying to achieve from the way he has suggested it might be done.
Most people in this country agree that housing, transport, education and broadband are all inadequate and far behind where they need to be to meet the needs of a modern economy.
Unlike the Government, which thinks only the private sector can sort these problems out, Corbyn suggests that Government should use its economic clout to make things happen. Is that so bad?
Ironically, most business leaders would agree, up to a point.
Government should be taking advantage of today's low interest rates to borrow money to invest in infrastructure.
Not to do so is to squander a once in a generation opportunity to rebuild this country.
Corbyn's People's QE is his way of paying the bill and it has attracted a lot of ridicule — notwithstanding the irony that printing money to get things moving is an idea endorsed not only by Milton Friedman — the Right-wing intellectual father of monetarism — but also by former Fed chairman, Ben Bernanke, who said that when all else failed, government could get the economy moving by dropping money from helicopters.
The point is that getting the Bank of England to print money to buy bonds issued by housing associations, health trusts, or an infrastructure bank is a perfectly credible and workable idea.
But it is a also bit of a red herring — no pun intended. It would actually be a lot simpler to allow these organisations to raise money in the markets directly with a Treasury guarantee as Network Rail already does.
"What perverse logic is it that makes us trust overseas governments to run businesses but recoil at the idea of one of our own?"
People's QE should be taken not literally, but as a way of pointing out that the money is there for these projects if government chooses to go for it. It is a shortage of political will, not a shortage of money, which is holding us back.
And to the criticism that borrowing money in this way would cause inflation and send the pound lower on the foreign exchanges — bring it on.
Every central bank in the world, from here to Japan, is trying to cause inflation because they fear the alternative — deflation — could cause long-term stagnation.
Inflation lightens the burden of a world drowning in debt. But it is also likely, in present conditions, that a modest degree of money printing could be done without provoking excess inflation, so the real issue is whether Corbyn would only do it to a modest degree. Here, to be realistic is to have doubts.
Corbyn has also suggested nationalising the railways, banks and energy companies.
One might ask, as the Adam Smith Institute did, what would be the point — but it would hardly be a disaster. Network Rail is already state-owned.
The Department of Transport successfully ran the East Coast franchise for five years until last year. The nationalised railway companies of other nations — the Germans, the French and the Belgians — have all operated trains here.
If a Belgian nationalised company such as Abellio is acceptable, why not a British nationalised company?
And the rail franchise system only works at all because of massive, albeit indirect, Government subsidies. Free enterprise it is not.
Whether nationalisation would be any better is a moot point, but no sane person would invent the present system if we were not already stuck with it.
Likewise the power companies: at present, private sector management is hardly covering itself in glory.
Indeed the Financial Times warned yesterday of the serious risk of power cuts as result of years of under-investment — something which never happened under state control, except immediately post-war when generally the criticism was that they invested too much.
Again, the French state-owned EDF is already a major power supplier here — and, with the Chinese, is going to build our first new nuclear power station.
What perverse logic is it that makes us trust overseas governments to run businesses but recoil at the idea of one of our own?
There is, of course, a lot for people not to like in Corbyn's economic book — the prospect of higher personal taxes, for example, and the general unworldliness of so much of it — but the critics need to choose their targets with more care.
The growth record of neo-liberal free market economics — the mantra for the past 35 years — was recently shown by a group of Cambridge researchers to be worse on almost all counts than the system we had before Mrs Thatcher came along.
The present economic outlook here — and internationally — is far more fragile than the Government cares to admit and it is reasonable to look for an alternative way of doing things.
Whether or not Jeremy Corbyn is the right answer is clearly in doubt, but it will do George Osborne no harm to be challenged.

UPS to Order 4,100 Low-Emission Trucks in '06
Date: 17-Feb-06
Country: USA
Author: Nick Carey
"We are working on the same assumption as most of the rest of the world that oil is not going to last forever," UPS fleet environment manager Robert Hall told Reuters. "As the world changes we are going to need to deliver our packages in a fuel-efficient manner."
The Atlanta, Georgia-based company said each of the 50 hybrid electric vehicles, or HEV's, will save some 44,000 gallons of fuel annually.
Apart from emitting 16,000 fewer tons of carbon dioxide annually, the 4,100 low-emission trucks are also 15 percent more fuel-efficient and will save UPS 1.5 million gallons per year, the company said.
UPS, the world's largest package delivery company, has a global fleet of around 91,000 vehicles.
The company would not disclose how much the new trucks will cost, but spokesman Norman Black said the HEV's generally cost twice as much as ordinary trucks.
"But the idea is to recoup that investment through fuel savings," he said.
The HEV's will reduce UPS' emissions by 457 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
A hybrid vehicle replaces a conventional engine with a small fuel-efficient diesel engine that acts as a generator providing energy for batteries and drive motors that power the vehicle.
The vehicles also contain regenerative braking, by which the energy generated from slowing or stopping the truck is captured and stored in the vehicle's battery.
The HEV's will be produced by International Truck and Engine, which is the primary operating subsidiary of Navistar International, and Freightliner LLC. The majority of the low-emission vehicles will be made by Freightliner LLC.

It was a picture of eyes from just below the eyes to just above the eyes and it was in black and white. If anyone can find that picture that would be awesome. I know it's a bit of a long shot, but i really want this picture. Thanks David

SYDNEY – An intrepid Australian bird spotter has captured the best evidence in a century of a live "night parrot," a rare creature that ranks among the world's most enigmatic avian species, scientists said Thursday.
John Young, a naturalist photographer, presented photos and video of the small, yellowish-green parrot to experts at the Queensland Museum this week that government scientist Leo Joseph said "make it seem very clear that he's found the bird."
Researchers feared for decades that the nocturnal, desert-dwelling parrot was extinct, with no sightings between 1912 and 1979 and only a handful since, prompting the Smithsonian Magazine last year to rank it in top spot among the world's five most mysterious birds.
The last live specimen was captured 100 years ago. Though two dead birds have been found since, in 1990 and 2006, no one has been able to offer definitive proof of a live sighting until now.
The parrot is designated as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, which lists it as having been "rediscovered" in 2005, when two biologists spotted the elusive bird but were unable to photograph it or collect samples.
There are only around 50 to 250 night parrots in the wild, according to estimates cited by the IUCN.

Silicone Injections Overview
- Silicone injections and injectable silicone for buttock, breast or lip augmentation are offered on a limited basis by doctors, such as cosmetic dermatologists, as well as by inexperienced injectors who may use industrial grade silicone rather than medically safe product.
- They can cause unwanted and sometimes dangerous results—including deformity, nodules, dimpling, and infection—so careful consideration is important here.
- A common brand used by doctors for silicone microdroplet treatment is Silikon1000. See Silikon 1000 reviews
- Silicone injections present risks, regardless of body area injected. Silicone can result in contour irregularity, dimpling, infection, migration, nodules, granulomas, inflammatory reaction, and deformity. Treatment of silicone injections is difficult.
- A serious and very possible complication is your body reacting to the silicone and creating severe scar tissue known as granulomas. This deformity is untreatable except by cutting out tissue, which of course leaves scars
- A problem often reported by RealSelf visitors is that silicone lip injections look great for several years. Then, a blunting of the normally distinct and beautiful vermillion roll and white roll occurs. The lips appear "sanded down". Next, silicone starts to move to the bottom of the lip. A trout-lip deformity results. Inside the mouth, the lips thicken.

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/16/2010
Publication Date: 5/1/2010
Citation: Karabulut, O.A., Smilanick, J.L., Crisosta, C.H., Palou, L. 2010. Control of brown rot of stone fruits by brief heated water immersion treatments. Crop Protection. 29:903-906. Interpretive Summary: Stone fruits, such as peaches and nectarines, rot after harvest, usually by the action of fungal mold pathogens. To stop these losses, fungicides are typically used, but immunity or resistance to their action develops rapidly in mold populations and buyers of 'organic' fruit prefer those that have not been treated with fungicides. In this work, we examined a simple technique of hot water immersion of the harvested fruit to manage this problem, and found it could partially manage rot on harvested stone fruit.
Technical Abstract: The effectiveness of brief (30 or 60 s) immersion in water at 24, 50, 55, 60, 65, or 70 ºC was evaluated for the control of brown rot, caused by Monilinia fructicola, on California-grown peaches, nectarines, and plums. Inoculated fruits were treated and either stored at 20 ºC for 5 days or at 0 ºC for 30 days followed by 5 days at 20 ºC to simulate commercial marketing conditions. Immersion in water at 55 ºC for 60 s or at 60 ºC for 30 or 60 s significantly reduced both decay incidence (percentage of inoculated wounds that developed infections) and severity (lesion size) among the remaining wounds that developed the disease. Water temperatures of 65 ºC or higher were phytotoxic and caused moderate to severe surface injuries. Immersion in water at 60 oC for 60 s was a particularly effective treatment for plums. Among plums stored after treatment at 20 ºC, this regime reduced the incidence of brown rot from more than 80% among control fruit to less than 2%. Among similarly stored nectarines, this treatment reduced the incidence of brown rot from 100 to less than 5%, or among nectarines kept in cold storage after treatment, from 73 to 28%. Performance of these relatively brief heated water treatments was comparable to that of longer (2-5 min) and lower temperature (45-50 ºC) treatments previously reported by other authors. Brief immersion in heated water can be an effective approach to manage postharvest brown rot of stone fruits, particularly when the use of fungicides is avoided.

The Small Munsterlander is little known in North America, but in Europe he's a popular hunting dog and companion. With his strong natural instincts and high level of endurance in the face of rough terrain and wet or cold conditions, it's easy to see why. He has a feathered, medium-length patched, ticked or roan coat in chestnut and white and a weight range of 38 to 58 pounds. Here's what you need to know if you're considering acquiring a Small Munsterlander.
It would be a shame to get a Small Munsterlander if you don't plan to hunt him. It's what he's born to do, and his tracking, pointing and retrieving instincts are strong. In fact, many Small Munsterlander breeders will only place their pups in hunting homes. If you can meet his needs in this area and provide him with a large fenced yard and plenty of daily exercise, he will be a cheerful, friendly, gentle family companion.
The Small Munsterlander is highly trainable but needs gentle handling with positive reinforcement techniques. Force or unfair treatment will only elicit stubborn resistance.
Comb the coat frequently to prevent or remove mats and tangles. A bath every six weeks or so doesn't go amiss. In addition, trim the nails as needed, brush the teeth, and keep the ears clean and dry to prevent infections.
Last but not least, it should go without saying that a people-loving dog like the Small Munsterlander needs to live in the house. It's an unhappy Small Munsterlander who is relegated to the backyard with little or no human companionship.
All purebred dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, don't walk, from any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, who tells you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or who tells you that her puppies are isolated from the main part of the household for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about health problems in the breed and the incidence with which they occur in her lines.
That said, Small Munsterlanders are generally healthy. To be approved for breeding by the Small Munsterlander Club of North America, dogs must have passed an evaluation by the SMCNA breed council regarding their genetic health, temperament, conformation and hunting abilities.
Do not purchase a puppy from a breeder who cannot provide you with written documentation that the parents were cleared of hip dysplasia by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or PennHIP. Having the dogs "vet checked" is not a substitute for genetic health testing.
Pet insurance for Small Munsterlanders costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Small Munsterlanders are slightly more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are preexisting) to which Small Munsterlanders are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Small Munsterlander is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

This is...
This is wonderful, awesome, and if I listed all that I thought of it, the four thousand character thing on this thing wouldn't be enough. This song has such a message, and it's something that I think a lot of people can relate to... And, as some people have said before, listening to your music, I also think that you should make an album. Cause this is undescribably awesome.

Ricciardo (newer tyres by 17 laps) and Vettel (tyres only 8 laps old). He lost out to only Perez of the one stoppers), beat Kobayashi, Di Resta, Massa and Button who all started ahead of him (Schumacher retired), passed by 'none' of the two stoppers who started behind him, so after another tough weekend (involving an excercise tyre management) he still scored enough points to remain ahead of Grosjean in the standings and move on to Valencia, where with fewer issues during the lead up, I'm expecting a much more representative result Reply Report abuse 17 agree 0 disagree

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
When a small amount of water gets in your fuel tank, it can cause the engine to runroughly and stall. A larger amount of water would make teh engine stall and not restart. In addition, water can corrode fuel system parts (such as electric fuel pumps).
If you have obtained a fuel sample from the vehicle and can see any water droplets in the fuel sample, you might try a bottle of dry gas; this disperses teh water droplets so that they do not all get sucked into the pickup screen at once. If there is a larger amount of water in the fuel, you will likely have to remove and drain teh fuel tank to get it out.
This is an extremely unusual thing to happen these days; gas stations now have to have double walled encased fuel tanks with monitoring alarm systems to prevent water from getting into them. Years ago you used to see water get into fuel when a gas station tank developed a leak, but I have not seen this happen for many many years.
If you suspect water is in your fuel, any repair shop can draw a fuel sample from the engine with a fuel injection pressure gauge set to confirm this diagnosis. If they DO find water in your fuel, you may want to invest in a locking gas cap.
I hope this is helpful; if so, please click my accept button and leave positive feedback! thanks!

Question about finishing a drywall corner?
Okay. So I am skim coating the walls of our new condo to get rid of old, rough texture. I don't know the technical term but I call it "detexturizing". The walls are right where they need to be, nice and smooth after 4 coats of drywall compound. My question has to do with corners. I am ready to start working on the corners. There is already existing metal corner beads that have also been mudded over. Do I buy new metal corner beads and apply them over the existing ones? How do I finish the corners properly?
No, definitely do not install new corner bead over old. Can't you just brush the old corner bead with sandpaper and smoothly apply the skim coat of new mud?
The old corner bead is not in "fantastic" condition. Maybe I will take some pics and then get your recommendation.
If it is beat up, then I'd go ahead and remove it and put new in its place.

Sky name formidable line-up to support Froome on Tour
LONDON Chris Froome will have the benefit of a formidable Team Sky support crew as the Briton seeks a fourth Tour de France victory next month.
DAEGU, South Korea A chastened Usain Bolt returned to the world championships and Deagu Stadium on Friday morning resolutely focused on just one thing, reaching the semi-finals of the 200 meters.
The flamboyant fastest man in the world could be forgiven for not taking absolutely anything for granted after the embarrassment of being disqualified from the final of the 100 meters for a false start five days ago.
The posing and preening that featured in the run-up to his 100 title defense was absent as he got into the blocks for the longer sprint, in which he is also Olympic champion and world record holder.
There was no way he was going to jump the gun again and understandably had the slowest reaction time in his heat but the Jamaican rarely needs a perfect start in the 200 and he duly eased to victory in 20.30 seconds.
That turned out to be the quickest time of the morning but pretenders to Bolt's crown like American Walter Dix, Panama's Alonso Edward and flying Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre also proceeded comfortably.
Bolt, while perhaps vulnerable in the 100 after a less than vintage season coming back from injury, was considered bullet proof in the 200 in Deagu.
But having seen a different face at the top of a podium after a major championships sprint race for the first time in three years may have emboldened the rivals he is likely to face in Saturday's final.
"I feel that this year it is my stronger event and definitely, I go for gold here," said Dix, who finished with a silver medal behind Yohan Blake in the 100.
"I am not sure about how Usain is ready. I think that this time it will not be as easy for him as in the past years."
Bolt gave a thumbs up before leaving the stadium without saying a word to reporters but he will be back in the evening for the semi-finals.
Another favorite taking no chances on the seventh morning of the championships was Australia's Sally Pearson, who confirmed her status with the fastest time in the heats for the women's 100 meters hurdles.
"I didn't want to take any risks," said the Olympic silver medalist after her run of 12.53 seconds.
"My body wanted to run that fast so I let it. Not surprising really, because I'm in shape, I'm just satisfied that I'm through.
"That was a heat, with no competition, so when I have competition and get a bit more fired up, who knows what can happen."
Many a Briton at the 13th world championships would have woken up with a hangover on Friday after 400 meter hurdler Dai Greene gave next year's Olympic hosts their first gold medal on Thursday evening.
Triple jump world champion Phillips Idowu, who will be hoping to match Greene's feat on Sunday, had no such luxury but he too breezed through qualifying on Friday morning with a jump of 17.17 meters.
"My plan was to come out here and qualify quite easily and get home and relax to prepare for the final," the 32-year-old said.
Six gold medals are up for grabs in the evening session, the highlight of which will be Allyson Felix's bid for a fourth successive world title against a strong field in the women's 200 final.
It looks, though, like Daegu Stadium has seen the last of double amputee Oscar Pistorius, who on Twitter declared himself "pretty guttered" after being told he would not be in the South African team for the 4x400m relay.
The "Blade Runner," who made his major championships debut in Daegu after winning a legal battle and finally setting a 400m qualifying time, had run the first leg on his prosthetic carbon fiber legs in Thursdays heats.
"That's me for the... World Champs! Gods blessed me! Semifinals in the 400m and a National Record in the 4x400m semi! Thank u all!x"

Conservative media figures are pouncing on a fallacious column suggesting that bullying has nothing to do with suicide rates among teenagers, in order to justify their long-standing campaign against anti-bullying efforts.
Writing for the Poynter Institute on October 25, Poynter faculty member Kelly McBride denounced media coverage of bullying-related suicides as "emotional linkbait." McBride argued that such stories promote "a false narrative" - that bullying can lead to suicide - "that has no scientific support":
Yet when journalists (and law enforcement, talking heads and politicians) imply that teenage suicides are directly caused by bullying, we reinforce a false narrative that has no scientific support. In doing so, we miss opportunities to educate the public about the things we could be doing to reduce both bullying and suicide.
There is no scientific evidence that bullying causes suicide. None at all. Lots of teenagers get bullied (between 1 in 4 and 1 in 3 teenagers report being bullied in real life, fewer report being bullied online). Very few commit suicide. Among the people who commit suicide, researchers have no good data on how many of them have been bullied.
It is journalistically irresponsible to claim that bullying leads to suicide. Even in specific cases where a teenager or child was bullied and subsequently commits suicide, it's not accurate to imply the bullying was the direct and sole cause behind the suicide.
McBride's entire argument proceeds from the construction of a straw man. Nobody claims that bullying always causes suicide, but it's hard to ignore the finding that victims of bullying are two to nine times more likely to consider suicide, according to researchers at Yale University. Similar research has confirmed a correlation between bullying victims and suicidal behavior.
It's true, as McBride notes, that not all bullying victims kill themselves. It's also true that not every cigarette smoker dies of lung cancer, but that's hardly a compelling reason to downplay the risks of smoking.
Unfazed by the logical flaws plaguing McBride's column, right-wing pundits reacted with glee, wielding it to advance their long-running crusade against anti-bullying programs, particularly those aimed at addressing bullying of LGBT youth.
On the October 28 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh read extensively from McBride's column, concluding that bullying has been over-hyped by the media:
Web News Experts: Bogus Krugman Story Shows Dangers of "Mechanical Aggregation"
The bogus story that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman had filed for bankruptcy appeared on Boston.com, the sister website of The Boston Globe, through a third-party content provider that posts content without editorial approval and provides such content to more than 200 web outlets.
That provider, meanwhile, took the story from an Austrian-based blog without any editorial review or fact-checking of its own, a practice that is becoming more and more common in the Internet content sharing world. The blog has since deleted its post and all posts from the author appear to have been removed from Boston.com.
The false story, which had its roots in a satire by the website Daily Currant, was subsequently picked up by the conservative site Breitbart.com, a move later criticized by Krugman himself and numerous news outlets from The Atlantic to Politico. Breitbart.com has deleted the post, with its author blaming Boston.com, which he says he "trusted" for the story.
But according to Boston.com, they played no role in the creation of that post, an editorial mechanism which troubles some observers.
Ron Agrella, editor of Boston.com, said the item was placed on his site by the content provider financialcontent.com on March 7, without approval or review from either Boston.com or the Globe.
He said he reached out to financialcontent.com at roughly 9 a.m. EDT today to have the item removed. It was removed at 11:34 a.m. EDT.
"The reason why we partner with them is to provide stock data," Agrella explained Monday, just hours after the item was taken down. "That is why we contract with them. The stories are additional content provided on the side. We have partnered with them for 10 or 12 years."
Financialcontent.com had picked up the item from an Austria-based business blog, Prudent Investor, without any editorial review of its own, according to financialcontent.com CEO Wing Yu.
"We are a technology company, we don't have an editorial desk," Yu explained. "There is an RSS feed that we parse from each content provider. We have categorized [Prudent Investor] as a business content provider and the content is syndicated along with the byline."
YU said Prudent Investor is one of more than 400 content providers that financialcontent.com draws on for news and data, which it then forwards to some 200 news outlets such as Boston.com, as well as others owned by McClatchy, Media News Group and AOL.
The Prudent Investor website is based in Vienna, Austria, and run by Toni Straka, who describes himself on the blog as "an INDEPENDENT Certified Financial Analyst who worked as a financial journalist for 15+ years and now evaluate global market trends."
CNN business correspondent Alison Kosik, whose recent tweets referred to Occupy Wall Street protesters as whiners and interested in "smoking weed," now regrets at least one of the postings, according to a CNN spokesperson.
Asked to respond to the tweets that have drawn criticism from media critics and journalism veterans, CNN emailed this short statement:
Alison regrets the tweet and took it down.
That statement was in reference to a Twitter exchange Kosik had in which she described the "purpose" of Occupy Wall Street protests "in 140 [characters] or less" as "bang on the bongos, smoke weed!"
Another Kosik tweet, in response to a question about the list of demands from protesters, stated: "the list of whines is too long already."
Both Twitter comments were captured by NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen. Kosik has removed the "smoke weed" posting, but the "whines" item remained up as of Friday afternoon.
Several media writers and news instructors said Kosik crossed the line when she offered such opinions on Twitter while also covering the growing story as a CNN reporter.
"What is her job? Is she a straight news reporter?" Eric Deggans, media critic of the St. Petersburg Times, asked sarcastically. "And if she is considered a straight news reporter, it crosses the line because she is revealing contempt for the protesters before she even gets there."
Media critic David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said Kosik needs to understand the power of her tweets.
"It's public record. You can say 'I'm doing it in a different forum, it is not in the story or the post or the report,' but you are still making a public utterance about this story," Zurawik said. "I think this is really a management problem at CNN New York. I don't think their standards are there. You have what is really an important story, literally on your doorstep and you go out and make fun of it."
Judith Miller's criticism of a Poynter Institute online course on Islamic issue reporting, which she claimed urged "political correctness," drew a harsh rebuttal from the journalism training outlet.
Kelly McBride, a Poynter senior faculty member, told Media Matters: "I think she's crazy. The course urges journalists to be smart, accurate and contextual when it comes to reporting on Islam in America. It suggests that when you are reporting about deaths caused by Islamic terrorists that you not descend into fear mongering and instead put the threat of terrorism in proper context.
"It is a sound, solid journalistic course, it's based on the values of accuracy and fairness and context and independence in minimizing harm."
At issue is an online column Miller posted at Fox News' website Friday about the free Poynter online course: Covering Islam in America.
Poynter's News University presents the course in conjunction with Washington State University and the Social Science Research Council.
Miller wrote that she took the course and objected to its suggestion that Islamic terrorism might be getting disproportionate coverage in relation to other deadly issues such as AIDS or world hunger:
The professors offer these helpful comparative death tolls to give the 9/11 death toll "some context," they say.
But the implicit message of the course seems obvious enough: 3,000 dead Americans, (and they might have looked up the actual death toll) have been over-covered. Why don't journalists spend more time covering malaria, or hunger, or especially HIV/AIDS, which the last time I checked, was hardly being ignored by the nation's media?
For that matter, why aren't the media investigating bathtub deaths, since according to "Overblown," John Mueller's attack on what he regards as the government's obsessive focus on terrorism, more Americans die in bathtub accidents each year than in terrorist attacks?
The answer should be fairly obvious to such an august institution as Poynter: just as the press covers murders rather than traffic fatalities, which far outnumber killings in America each year, it covers terrorism intensively because motive matters.

I'm getting several emails and pointers that a number of Chanel makeup collections are due out over the coming months. I tried to put worksheets together so that I could keep track of them all. I thought I'd post my worksheets for you to use to plan your shopping. I hope that you find these useful.
First, Les Expressions de Chanel is already hitting stores in Europe. I am not sure when the U.S. will receive these. This collection has two mascaras (Inimitable and a waterproof version of Sublime de Chanel). There are three color stories: Brown Expression, Purple Expression, and Coral Expression.
There are two new Illusion D'Ombre in this collection, and one re-promote (swatched here at the Ommorphia Beauty Bar). The Brown Expression includes a new Illusion D'Ombre in Vision (a gold) and a new eyeshadow quad in Intuition. The Purple Expression repromotes the Illusion D'Ombre in Illisoire and brings us a purple version of Variation (many will recall that the former Chanel Variations had neutral brown tones).
Finally, the Coral Expressions has an new Illusion D'Ombre in Abstraction and repromotes an eyeshadow quad in Eclosion. Images:
It is not clear to me when (or if) Les Expressions de Chanel will launch in the U.S. I suspect that we will not be getting Sublime de Chanel, as that mascara has not made it to the States yet in a non-waterproof form.
In June, the Chanel Bombay Express collection will launch. This is a capsule collection that features some of the product seen at the Chanel Couture show of the same theme. This includes a star highlighter– Les Routes des Indes de Chanel, that looks lovely in the promotional photo. This also includes a gold toned Le Vernis in Diwali, as well as a new black Illusion D'Ombre in Nirvana. Although I found an image of Nirvana on an international Chanel website, there is some doubt about whether it will be actually released here. Chanel completes this collection with a blush in Brumes D'Or.
In July, Chanel's Blue Illusion collection will launch. This is a mini-collection of two new Illusion D'Ombre (Apparition and Destination), together with a new blue nail polish Le Vernis Sky Line. Some are wondering if this will be a limited release to Chanel Boutiques and Chanel Studios (such as in Nordstrom's Seattle location), but I haven't received confirmation one way or the other on that.
Don't forget, in July in the U.S. we are quite likely to see Nordstrom carry the Le Blanc de Chanel, formerly released in Asia. Here's a write-up on that collection by Rouge Deluxe. Around this same time (late July/August), we should expect to see Chanel's enormous Fall 2012 makeup collection, Les Essentiells de Chanel.
Please recall that these are promotional images from Chanel only, and the actual colors released may vary. Here's a complete list:
- Lumière d'Artifices Beiges
- Joues Contraste in Rose Initiale
- Les 4 Ombres in Premier Regard
- Ombre Essentielle in Complice, Éclairé, Furtif, Infini, Noir
- Stylo Yeux Waterproof in: Silver Light and Noir Intense
- Rouge Coco in Caractère
- Rouge Coco Shine in: Chic and Parfait
- Le Crayon Lèvres in Amarante
- Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss Caprice and Troublant.
- Lèvres Scintillantes in Sweet Beige
- Le Vernis nail polish in Frenzy, Suspicious and Vertigo.

The ComicsAlliance Batman Mountain Dew Taste Test
Here's the thing about being the World's Foremost Batmanologist: Occasionally, someone will make a movie about Batman — in this case, The Dark Knight Rises — and someone else will decide that it's a good idea to make a new flavor of Mountain Dew to go along with it. Then, someone else will decide to send you a bottle of it to sample. It's a weird job, but it's nice work if you can get it.
That's how I wound up getting my first ever advance review copy of a drink, which in this case was Dark Berry Mountain Dew, set to hit shelves next month. So join me now, as I taste test Batmountain Dew.The Dew arrived in a black box that invited me to "Rule the Streets With Dew," which I still think sounds like something that a unicorn princess would say to her subjects. Admittedly, though, I probably think about unicorn princesses way more than Mountain Dew's usual target audience. Inside, there was the new Batman-themed can of regular Mountain Dew, as well as a bottle of the Dark Berry flavor, seen here with a copy of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand for scale:
Unsurprisingly, the Batman pint glass in the first photo was something I already owned.
In what I can only assume is a tribute to mankind's greatest invention, the Hypercolor T-Shirt, the can is meant to change color when it gets cold, turning the bat-shaped logo from regular aluminum to a pale green:
To be honest, it's not really that noticeable. The press release in the package refers to it as "glowing," but that might be overstating things just a little.
On to the Dark Berry! Despite the name, it's not really that dark, especially if you throw some ice in there. It's actually a pretty pleasant blue that matches Batman's classic costume, and for me, that's a plus. It does make me wonder if, in order to go along with the movies they're tying into, they mean "Dark" as in "morally challenging." I don't think that's likely, but there's definitely a part of me that would like to see what it would look like if Mountain Dew was holding a city in the grip of terror.
Even though I'm not much of a soda drinker anymore, I have a long history of loving Mountain Dew's novelty flavors. Back when I worked at the comic book store, we once hung up a homemade sign declaring that we "Proudly Served" Mountain Dew GameFuel, for the one summer when that was actually a thing you could do. I once even tried a bottle of Pitch Black well after the expiration date, so I like to think I'm qualified to judge Dark Berry.
The judgment: Not bad! It's insanely sweet — moreso than even regular Dew, in fact — and almost tastes like carbonated berry Kool-Aid. For me, it ranks well above Pitch Black and Code Red in the hierarchy of Mountain Dew Novelty Flavors, but it doesn't quite get to the level of GameFuel. But then, what could?
Of course, it's not exactly the sort of thing I can picture Alfred bringing to Batman after a long night of crime-fighting, but given how jittery I am from just the taste-test, I can definitely see a henchman slamming a bottle to get motivated.

A rare anvil or hat-shaped cloud appeared near Mount Fuji after a strong tyhpoon swept through japan.
The hanging cloud was seen on Wednesday morning.
The phenomenon occurs when winds around Mount Fuji become strong, or after tropical storms.
But experts say such clouds rarely appear at this time of the year.
The cloud disappeared after about 30 minutes when the sky became overcast.

Florida Mud Turtles
Anyone have or know anything about Florida Mud Turtles? These are the ones that only get to about 4 inches.
No one know about these?
What do you need to know I've had a 3-stripped mud turtle for almost 2 years now
I have two, and while they seem to be doing great, they hardly ever bask, even when the tank is colder. They just like to hang out down deep. Just looking for any helpful info as there is not a lot out there on them even though they seem to make good pets.
Try this web page out
I noticed with my turtle he never got out of the water I had a large platform area for basking and he never used it so I removed it. I now have driftwood in that he will occasionally climb that but mostly he hangs out at the bottom of the tank in a hut and float up to the top for air. He seems to be more active in the evening when his light is off. So I have been researching lately too. Right now I am working on building a structure out of PVC and covering it with mosses. I read that creating shallower areas will help his activeness. I hope this helps ever day seems to be a learning process with me as well.
Sounds a lot like mine, I kind of figured that must be normal for them. Thanks for the info. I will look it over.

I'll let you know if the PVC structure helps his activeness
Attachment 56742
Here is an older picture of Stanley :)
I have a floating piece of oak for mine, I see them use it now and then. Just not as much as I thought they would. I am thinking of making a new setup for them with actual land and water.

I don't know much about them, but I have seen them (3-Stripes) around here. I actually caught one in a nearby lake. They are so 'cute' xD. I assumed they would stay small and I wanted to keep it, but I had no idea how many gallons of water it needed to be kept in.
They do seem to spend a majority of their time underwater from what I have seen. I rarely see them basking, but I see the yellow bellies and RES basking very often. My friends and I actually spotted two of them mating underwater once xD.
That is awesome...I had to order mine online because they are illegal in Pennsylvania
It seems that 20 gallons is fine for those.
I have two. They both bask often. The female actually showed up on our back porch one day ( live about 1/2 mile from closest water source)! And she just laid an egg this week!
That is realy cool. What is your set up? I think I have two females.
I want to upgrade them to a 40-50 gallon I found on the curb. I was thinking a sandy bottom with silk plants. I found a really cool filter structure at petco
http://www.petco.com/product/102525/Tetra-Decorative-ReptoFilter-For-Frogs-Newts-And-Turtles.aspx?CoreCat=LN_ReptileSupplies_TerrariumP umpsFilters
But its only meant for 4-6 inches of water. Do you guys think I could create a slope to put this on and still get enough filtration?
also anyone have success with live foods?
I don't see why you can't put it on rocks or something else to bring it to the right depth. I have not tried live foods, but I hear they really like snails.
