Mouse droppings...or something else?
Hi - first time posting, great forum. We went away for vacation for 2 weeks and came back to find a whole bunch of tiny ants, as well as droppings around from some kind of unidentified creature.
They look exactly like mouse droppings to me, except some of them appear in places that seem impossible for a mouse to reach. For example, in our kitchen, I saw a dropping on the ledge of a closed drawer that couldn't have been more than half an inch jutting out. I don't see any way a mouse could have climbed up there and even if it did, it seems way too narrow for it to be able to walk on. I also haven't seen any other of the telltale signs of a mouse, like ripped paper, etc and areas where we store food don't have any droppings around. Could there be some kind of large insect producing droppings like this?
I'm going to put some traps around just in case, and also buy some roach traps, but I'd like to figure out what this thing really is. Sometimes there is a scattering of them in a group - and then they're usually much smaller - but most of the time its just one piece here or there.
pics would help
pics are needed; the best close-ups tht you can provide. That will help determine the difference between large insect and rodent.
Figured pics would be appropriate but I had cleaned everything up before snapping the pics. Here are some more I found. From my own experience with mice, this definitely looks like mouse droppings - but like I said, they are appearing in place where I just don't see how they could have gotten there.
Is it possible for a mouse to climb up a piece of wood furniture, such as a desk, if its not touching any other surfaces it could climb on? I mean, a mouse can't scale a smooth vertical wall or surface, right? I also never see any of the other telltale signs of a mouse. Just to be safe I set a few traps tonight. We'll see what happens.
These last two my wife insists are bite marks - but I don't know if I buy it. You can't really see well in the picture, but this was a pressure cooker top inside a cabinet that has no holes other than the front door - and that was closed. Pieces of the rubber seal were torn off. Not sure if this was the works of a mouse or not and its probably hard to tell from the pic, but I figured I'd include it anyway.
I am no expert but I do know a mouse can get just about anywhere it wants.
Mouse droppings. Do you have snap traps set? Trapping hint: if mice are getting the bait off without snapping the trap, tie a piece of cotton to the trigger and smear peanut butter on the cotton. They will bite into the cotton as licking won't get enough. His little rear end will then belong to you.
Thanks. Thats what I expected. Set traps two days ago. Bait hasn't even been touched. It seems like the mice just came out when we were away for 2 weeks. They don't seem to be around while we're home - or even at night.
I don't understand how the mice got into some of those places. For instance, a free standing, four legged table - not near any walls, or anything. How could it get up there? Can a mouse climb a smooth table leg?
The ant problem was easy to take care of with the liquid ant traps (boric acid I believe). That stuff works great.
They are very resourceful as far as foraging-thier lives depend on it.
Keep snap traps set with fresh bait.
If they are present when you are gone and vice-versa, I would suggest that you go on an inventory control/inspection throughout the house looking at things that you haven't looked at for a long time.
Examples: stored grass seed; potting soil; pet food; bird seed; attic/crawls; Stored piles of things that haven't moved in a long time; exterior storage such as firewood; tarpped material; sheds; You get the idea-don't wait for them, go after them.
Got one of them last night. Pretty big one too. Peanut butter did the trick. Going to leave the other traps for a while to see if there's anymore. Is it generally assumed that it will be a family, or is it common to just have one?
Hey - I'm hoping maybe someone here can help me clear up a debate between my wife and I about this mouse situation. Her family has been telling her things about mice now that is scaring her and making her uncomfortable to be in our house - and I'm trying to convince her that most of these are either outright false, or so uncommon that its not worth thinking about. For example:
1) Mice come into your bed while you are sleeping and either bite or nibble on your ears and nose.
2) Mouse saliva contains some kind of toxin that numbs your skin, allowing them to bite you without you even feeling anything.
3) Mice like to gnaw at electrical cables - increasing the risk that a cable could become frayed and cause an electrical fire.
Of these I could see #3 being the most likely - but 1 and 2 seem farfetched to me. Of course her family knows people that has all happened to, but I'm still skeptical.
From what I understand, the biggest risk with a mouse is that it could be carrying some kind of disease that could be transmitted to humans - but even that seems pretty unlikely to me.
Can one of the experts help us settle this? I want to make my wife feel comfortable again in our own home.
respnse to #1: Mice won't come near us because they are afraid. They will live in our houses as they find shelter and food. That is why rats and mice are called "commensal rodents". This myth probably comes from the fact that unthreatened rats in very run-down areas have chewed on invalids and infants. These are the extreme cases, not your situation, not even close, but extreme cases are what myths are made of. In the late 80's Baltimore was the city with the worst rat bite incidents. Don't know what city is now.
respnse to #2: pure nonsense. Somebody got vampire bats confused with mice.
response to #3: They do chew, but they are not big chewers, especially on hard to chew items. Rats and squirrels do the chewing damage.
The rodent disease transmission issue is minimal. In 30+ years in pest control I've never experienced it or heard of it and I've belonged to trade associations the entire time. Never had/heard of a customer with it, either.
You don't have a serious rodent problem as it would be obvious and you wouldn't be talking about catching 1 and seeing a few droppings. Keep trapping. Look for their harborage in the materials that I described previously.
Hi Leah: I don't hear or read anything about hantavirus anymore. It was here in the East Coast as well, including two counties away from us here in Pa.
For a year or so hanta stories were all the rage, but not anymore. That is a good question. I'm going to a training seminar in two weeks and hope to ask someone.
I don't remember doing the Lepto vaccine 10 years ago, but I could just be getting old. :laughing:
Lepto WHAT? I have had dogs for 40 odd years and never heard of that.
I will look it up but man o man, don't tell me I have to spend more $ on these animals. My old setter has diabetes and I can hardly afford THAT:eek:

predicting miscarriage?
I'm sorry for those who have experienced miscarriages and loss. Unfortunately it is very common in my family--mother, aunts, grandmother.
Can it be something hereditary causing this trauma? Is there any way to predict how likely you are to miscarry?

It is theoretically possible for a tendency toward miscarriages to be hereditary and to run in families, and a few studies have suggested that unexplained recurrent miscarriages might sometimes run in families. It is worth mentioning your families history at your preconception visit with your doctor. However, this doesn't mean that your risk of miscarriage is necessarily any higher than average.
Their is no scientific way to predict whether you will miscarry or not.
So, do mention your family history of miscarriages to your doctor, but unless you know for sure that they were diagnosed with a chromosomal condition, you probably don't need any advance testing. Most likely, your risk of miscarriage isn't higher than average.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Is BYD taking a page out of Warren Buffett's book? In moving away from its bold goal of mass producing an electric vehicle in China this year, BYD appears to reflect a similar conservative shift Buffett has recently been noted for. Buffett, who in the past has been known for picking out undervalued stocks with massive upside potential, has recently made it clear that he is transitioning towards a more conservative investment strategy. According to Berkshire Hathaway's ( BRK.A) most recently quarterly 13-F filing, the financier has been placing the vast number of his largest bets on companies more known for stability rather than pop. Some notable tweaks made to his legendary portfolio include large increases to his holdings of retail giant Wal-Mart ( WMT) and Republic Services Group ( RSG), a trash company. In his annual letter to Berkshire shareholders, the financier also referenced his large cash position, saying that although it's earning 0% interest, he sleeps well at night. Taking more conservative approaches to doing business will likely mean that returns for BYD and Berkshire Hathaway will be less dramatic than in the past. However, these transitions will also ensure that investors see consistent returns over the long term. BYD, which stands for "Build Your Dreams," has taken the international and domestic auto industry by storm. Though the company's roots lay in the battery and power source producing industry, it has risen to become a symbol for the alternative and electric automobile revolution. Since first making the bet in 2008, Warren Buffett's play on BYD has earned the investor billions. This week, Buffett and the rest of the company's shareholders were treated to a welcomed boost when the firm reported that strong car sales helped lift the company's fourth- quarter net profit 500%. Though BYD has largely been focused on satisfying China's automobile demand, investors and car enthusiasts have long been buzzing over when the first BYD vehicles will hit American soil. Though there remains a strong chance that we will see the company's cars on U.S. roads in the near future, the trendsetting firm appears to have extinguished plans to mass produce its electric cars in China this year.

Lemme tell you something about this old guy. I am convinced that this is a man death will have to take in one fell swoop. You can't kill this WWII hero by degrees. Last night the docs said it would be a miracle if he lived thru the night. Then it was "probably pass sometime this morning." NOW, he's got a rally going and his color is returning. Still, this is EXTREME congestive heart failure with pneumonia on top and he IS 86. So we're still going up and prepping for a funeral. At the very least we may get to see him once more still breathing. In fact he may be waiting for us to do just that before he goes to see his wife, and both my parents. My mom held on till I got to her bedside (from the other side of the county) and was holding her hand when she crossed into GLORY.

New interactive video offers training for students borrowing to pay for their education
Most people claim student loan debt is the best type to accrue. But, as unemployment looms, school enrollment increases and loan amounts increase, so do default rates. People are beginning to question the value of a high-priced education.
The Imagine America Foundation, a career education scholarship provider and research organization, seeks to decrease the student loan default rate by educating students about responsible borrowing. In March, the Foundation released a new interactive video tutorial, "Financial Planning Made Simple (FPMS)," for career college students. Colleges that participate in the Imagine America scholarship and award programs will be required to use it as an online training tool.
The easy-to-use interactive video will allow students to choose between either a male or female avatar to walk them through a variety of important educational financial decisions. The 18-minute tutorial will discuss aspects such as budgeting, borrowing and repayment.
IAF President Robert L. Martin said, "We knew in order to get students' attention we needed to create something that would grab their attention and keep it."
The avatars are shown calculating their budgets by displaying the amount and location of their spending. The avatars also are shown meeting with a financial aid advisor. Students can follow along and learn about different terms by clicking on words linking them to further information regarding consolidation, forbearance, deferment and default. IAF tested the video and the calculator features with career college students to assess whether they found it helpful.
"Both had a very positive response to the video and calculator," Martin said. Of the students surveyed, 86 percent said the FPMS tool would definitely or very probably help them to make responsible financial decisions. When asked how helpful the tool might be to their students, 59 percent of financial aid administrators said a great deal, while the other 41 percent said very much, according to Jenny Faubert, IAF Director of Communications.
The video gives students the opportunity to calculate their own budgets by using the FPMS Student Financial Planning Tool. It allows users to visually see exactly where their money is being spent in hopes of helping students decrease overspending and increase their savings.
"The Student Financial Planning Tool is different because it includes two tabs, one to create your monthly budget and school expenses and the second tab calculates the different repayment options," said Faubert. "By watching the video and using the Student Financial Planning Tool, students can make more informed financial decisions."
While gainful employment regulation is awaiting approval, IAF is taking these proactive steps toward minimizing excessive borrowing. Potential legislation changes threaten students' ability to access much-needed funding. The IAF hopes the new tool will give students a head start on understanding the real cost of an education and will decrease the student loan defaulters. IAF understands career college students have different financial responsibilities.
"Many students attending career colleges are older adult students. In the video, the student is able to choose from two different budgeting scenarios: one, if they live with their parents who pay the rent and utilities or two, if they live on their own and pay their own rent and utilities," Faubert said.
As more and more students' loans are facing default, it's important to understand the severity of not being able to pay back loans. According to the Federal Student Aid website, once a student loan is declared in default, students are no longer able to apply for deferment or forbearance, which allows students to postpone or stop making payments for a set amount of time. Additional steps to collect the defaulted loan can impose extreme hardships for the student, such as wage garnishment, collection costs, legal action and a lowered credit rating. The financial woes of not paying back student loans could also jeopardize students' ability to obtain employment.

Ceiling Paint
I'm about to start painting yet another ceiling (not my favorite painting job:) )
Is there a difference between flat paint and ceiling paint?
I usually use Benjamin Moore's high-end flat in White Dove. Would it be better to get their ceiling paint? Would it splatter less? What ever I use, I'd like it to be tinted to White Dove to match the trim I assume they could do that to the ceiling paint.
I wish they made one of those ceiling paints that goes on pink and then changes to white when dry. I have a spackle that does that and it's a big help. Stops me from rushing the next step.
Any suggestions would be welcomed ... this is my first post here!
They do have ceiling paint that goes on pink. It's a home depot product, glidden I think. Not very expensive, but you won't get a bm tint out of it. It and other ceiling paints are already tinted to "ceiling white". You need a white base to tint with.
If you want BM color just let them tint a flat base paint for you.
Thanks joewho,
That's what I usually do ... just get them to tint a flat to White Dove. I'd rather not get the Glidden, I really like BM paint. I was wondering if Ceiling Paint had any advantage (e.g. less splattering, even flatter sheen, etc.) over regular flat paint. My ceiling really shows the joists, so anything to make them less visible is great. Also, anything that prevents or limits splatters is great (I have a brand new carpet)!
BM's ceiling paint (Muresco) is a superior paint for ceilings
It is made differently
It's made to be very high hiding, very adhesive, and less drippy/splattery
Although I will often use their wall paint (Regal) on the ceiling when a special color is needed, I prefer to use BM's Muresco
I've not tinted Muresco Dove White, so I don't know if that will tint well
You should ask someone knowledgeable at the BM store
If they say it tints to Dove White OK, I'd go for that
If not, the Regal will be fine
Is there any specific reason you want it to match the trim? If you have crown moulding it's better to use just a ceiling white, and BM's Muresco is actually a great ceiling paint. If the ceiling paint matches the trim without crown it doesn't look so bad, but with crown, I would do just the ceiling white to keep it from looking blah.
Thanks slickshift and AAPaint,
I've used both the regular BM Muresco white ceiling paint and the Regal flat tinted to White Dove on different ceilings. I like the White Dove look best – I think it better blends into the overall tone of the room. Sometimes the regular white is just too white and makes the ceiling stand out more, instead of disappear. I really love the White Dove color as trim as it seems to go with both warm and cold colors.
I don't have crown moulding (yet?) so that's not an issue. I agree 100 percent with you that with crown moulding the ceiling would absolutely look best with regular white.
Since I just had a new carpet put in, I'm going to play it safe and go with the Muresco ceiling paint regardless of color. I'll be very careful, but if it does actually stop some splatter it's sure worth using. I tried to get the painting done first, but it just didn't work out that way.
I may use the Waterborne Satin Impervo for the trim work. I've never used it before but I just finished painting some vanity cabinets using the Alkyd Satin Impervo and really loved the way they turned out. I know the Waterborne won't end up as smooth but still.... I had forgotten how much easier it is to paint with oil paint instead of latex! It had been decades since I'd used oil. (I don't think it's quite the same as the old oil paint, tho.) I think I'll still use the Alkyd for the windows and doors to help eliminate sticking. But I don't want the baseboard to stay wet so long.
I'm not into the monochromatic thing either, but it can look pretty good in the right room
Especially if the walls are busy
Did two last week
I also enjoy working with oils, and Impervo especially
The waterborne Impervo is great though
I was using it today, and will prolly be painting my own mantle with it tonight (already has water-based on it)
The oils of today are different than oils of 20 years ago
In some ways better, in some ways not
But they are still a bit more durable than the waterborne
As a general rule, ceilings that are lighter than the walls feel higher, while those that are darker feel lower.So choose some lighter colors of your choice.
It had been decades since I'd used oil. (I don't think it's quite the same as the old oil paint, tho.) I think I'll still use the Alkyd for the windows and doors to help eliminate sticking. But I don't want the baseboard to stay wet so long.
plus it yellows:yes:
All a ceiling paint is is a cheaper interior flat paint, usually a dead flat and not washable. P&L's int silver flat (8101) would be great to use and retails around $17.95 a gallon. A good thick flat paint, and splatter less.
SW also has a goes on purple, dries white ceiling paint that isn't a half bad product
Splatter Less
I would recommend a lambs wool roller such as a 1" nap for textured ceilings... it will hold more paint and you will notice significantly less splatter.
Hope this Helps.

I changed out my stock 10a fast-blow fuse in my Yamaha a-s2000 integrated amp with a audio magic nano-liquid fuse and I can't BELIEVE the difference this new fuse MADE !!
Everything sounds very SMOOTH and the mid-range sounds like a TUBE AMP NOW !...
If you have solid-state gear you need to try these fuses !
You need to let these fuses settle-in good for 14 days to hear their FULL POTENTIAL
Follow Ups:
Ordinary fuses filled up with snake oil!

...put some tape or some blu tack on a fuse and listen for a change.
Dynobots Audio
how would damping the fuse body help when the microphonic part of the fuse is the wire inside? The wire is coupled directly to the end caps which is firmly clipped into the fuse holderl, thus providing a direct path for the alledged vibrations to the equipment while at the same time NOT damping the wire at all.
Too much is never enough
Do the end-caps connect to the body of the fuse?
If the body of the fuse is dampened will the end-caps resonate less?
How would damping a components "body" help with the microphonic parts of the wires/caps/tubes etc. inside? I think many many people damp their components "bodies" with good results.
Same thing.
Dynobots Audio
Yes, end caps connect to body of the fuse. The end caps also are solidly clipped into the fuse holder at each end. The only 'loose' piece is the element itself, which unless the fuse is filled, is essentiallly un-dampable. So if you damp the glass part in the middle, you've done nothing.
I think people who damp the fuse body and hear all these marvelous improvements are fooling themselves.
The physics of tube microphonics is not that a wire is vibrating, but that the wire vibrating is modulating the signal being 'transmitted', if you will, to another element in the tube. A simple vibrating wire? not so much. (at all, really)
End cap resonance is a non-starter. Being clipped firmly into the amp makes them and the amp basically a 'single piece', which you 'd have to damp. Maybe 'flexing' boards and some of the casework.
Too much is never enough
There is one way for you to test your theory.
Put some putty or blue tak etc on a fuse and listen for any difference in sound.
Fact is everything has a resonant value no matter how well you secure it...
Saying you "don't think..." without actually trying is not saying much. It would be nice if thought and reasoning was so powerful that no testing would be required. But here we are in the year 2012 and we mere mortals still relay on testing for results vs. just "thinking" what the result might be or ought to be.
Granted some people don't hear any difference in anything. Fine with me...
Dynobots Audio
The fuse holder is vibrating, too. Insidious, ain't it? Gee, maybe those who hear the effects of damping the fuse body aren't deluded after all.
Hi, Geof,
Long time, no chat.
So, now that we've got a vibrating fuse clip....which is firmly attached to the board, we've got a vibrating board? The fundamental of all this is 60hz...the resistance of the wire.....nearly negligable....so, how much force could possibly be transmitted to the board? By the time you hit the 3rd or 4th harmonic of the powerline freuqency you must be in the sub-picodyne region..... certainly near the molecular noise floor....
Sorry, I don't buy it.
I would suggest an experiment! Put a fuse in a box of a couple cubic feet. The box also contains a speaker connected to an amp/source. Run 60hz thru the fuse. Don't pop the fuse. You'll also need a dual trace scope of as high a frequency as you can manage. certainly 100s of MHz. have a second fuse, wired as the first in a similar box with NO speaker. Put 60hz thru that one, too. Look at BOTH traces in some kind of either out of phase or 'subtract' mode in the scope, such that only differences appear. Nothing should be on the screen, the traces being identical. Turn on the speaker....loud...no...louder! See anything on the scope? Didn't think so.
From this I'd conclude the microphic fuse myth busted
Too much is never enough
Take any fuse, listen to it, paint it with AVM (Anti-vibration Magic) on the glass, listen to it again. Finally, explain why it sounds much better with the paint on it.
Of course a PCB can vibrate. Question is, if a fuse can do it? And if so, will the other sources of vibration overwhelm the fuses contribution? Will the multiple resonant modes of all the stuff attached and hung from a board not damp this whole system?
Now, yes everything vibrates and so what? TTs are vulnerable, of course, as are tubes. In both cases a clear feedback loop exists. A TT cart is designed to take very low level vibrations, connect to a pretty hi-gain circuit and put the result to the speaker.
Racks are well developed for seismic events. However, if you believe that fuse vibrations to the board (!) have an effect, than surely airborn vibes have an effect as well, and when the sytem is played loudly, will have more effect than a fuse. After all, the fuses contribution will be based on the mass of the wire, the amount of force it can exert and the frequency. I don't know what the fusing wire is made from....magnetic or not? But certainly all will agree that the amount of force a vibrating fuse wire can contribute is MINUTE a best.
I have yet to see a 'soundproof' rack which would be the next logical development.
And while we're talkin' vibes, how do you isolate your system from the Schumann resonance? I think that is somewhat <=to 8hz.
If someone wants to loan me a scope, I'll run whatever test I can devise and not only put the data up for review, but certainly remain open to experiments to run..
I asked for a used Tektronix for my birthday, but am not holding my breath.
Too much is never enough
"From this I'd conclude the microphic fuse myth busted"
From WHAT? Prey thee show us the data from your wonderous test...
You may be surprised if you actually did the work which is why most of us don't draw conclusions from thought experiments!
"So, now that we've got a vibrating fuse clip....which is firmly attached to the board, we've got a vibrating board? The fundamental of all this is 60hz."
Yes to the first part, no to the second. The fundamental is really 120 Hz unless you are using a half-wave rectifier.
You don't think PCB's vibrate? Stick it in your ear! Here's how:
- tie a foot long thread to one of the corner mounting holes.
- Wrap the other end around your little finger a few times.
- Stick that finger in your ear.
- Tap the board in various places with eraser end of a pencil or just a finger of your other hand.
Isn't that cool? If the boss doesn't catch you you can learn to play the melody and bass line at the same time by tapping the right spots for the melody at each beat. If sticking it in your ear seems crude and the board has any low level analog circuits you can probably extract the same information at their outputs but you may need some additional AF gain. Dies are intrinsically little strain guages and the newer packages provide rather tight coupling mechanically between the chip and the board.
Yes, the resonances are different when the board is screwed down. Just how they change depends largely upon the location of the mounting holes. I've actually had to have the PCB mounting holes moved on some gear to keep case flexure from modulating the offsets of op-amps and showing up as orientation sensitivity to users.
I guess I assumed everyone has been briefed on structural (seismic) vibration, motor and transformer induced vibration, not to mention vibration produced by acoustic waves from speakers. It's been painfully clear for many years that everything in the room, including the boards, chassis, wires, etc. are vibrating over a wide range of frequencies, not just 60 Hz. You're not suggesting we all throw out our vibration isolation stands, one hopes.

Magically all your money disappears.
All their stuff is stooopid prices.
Hows about no fuse at all, solid wire, thats if you got the kahonies.Yo, don't forget to silver grease the fuse or wire. Silver grease in the PS is not bright, just the opposite. You can dampen a fuse, if you decide you don't have the guts ( or stupidity) to go unprotected, with electronics grade silicon. Tweaker
I tried no fuse with my Havana Dac, it sounded pretty good. More clarity and openness compared to the standard fuse. Just for kicks someone gave me a HiFi Tuning Supreme fuse, it sounded mostly like the solid copper wire except a bit more smooth.

Hi all ! This getting very funny . Us that can hear these tweeks vs those who cant . The ones that cant insult us and think we somehow we are influenced by aliens . LAST TIME......if you cant hear power cords , brass feet , fuses ,etc ...you are wasting your money...buy bose . ( well maybe this wont be the last time...lol )
Have you heard the saying, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro"?
"The ones that cant insult us and think we somehow we are influenced by aliens ."
I thought aliens were considered to be high-tech and smart enough to keep their distance from stalking believers.
"LAST TIME [aliens?]......if you cant hear power cords , brass feet , fuses ,etc ...you are wasting your money...buy bose."
Subliminal advertising is 100% human.
Ak chew ally, their prices appear to be in line with other high end companies that produce similar products.
Special fuses might just be one of the "nuttiest" thing I've heard of in 25yrs of this hobby.
One evening I decided to put some Caig pro gold on my fuses, I popped them back in and lo and behold there was a (slight) improvement.
Who would have thunk it!
Liquid cables have been around for a while. Obviously the liquid is not water. Duh.
can a liquid fuse blow out? If it breaks or blows up, you'll never get it all cleaned up, I would think!
Your post might be just a joke but the liquid does not conduct anything. It is a regular fuse with a polamer filling to damp ringing. Sort of like a ceramic filled fuse.
assumed the liquid contains Nano Particles that conduct. And if you got that stuff in your room, you'd Never get rid of all of it. Nano or not?
It would be interesting to see it's response time curve! I'm thinking REALLY slow-blow. I just tried to track down the product specifications to see and what do you know? No luck. I'd just solder a wire across the fuse holder before buying an unspecified product with no safety ratings from a bogus vendor.
Agreed. The 1st job of the fuse is to protect the equipment, 2nd job is to not harm/influence sonics. Without data to show that it does the 1st and most important job, it doesn't matter if it does the 2nd job or not.
So, what's different here, besides ~2 cents versus 60 dollars price?
I have no experience with Audio Magic fuses - but I do with couple different types of Hi-Fi Tuning, and also Furutech. Yes, they do work, improving sound appreciably in resolving system. No, I did not bother to contact manufacturers to obtain data sheets.

Actually, Audio Magic's been around for 16 years. If I have to wait longer than that to establish market stability...well, wait, my 8 yr old HDTV only has one DVI input! (Remember those?) Foiled again.
Old and in the way company vs state of the art company.
An ordinary man has no Means of deliverance.
Hi Geoff-
Where is that quote from? Pardon my ignorance, but I only recall it being uttered in that exact form in a song from "The Catherine Wheel". A quick Google search turned up nothing on the money, but many oblique references to religious texts (mostly eastern), where most of the operative words existed, but not in that specific quote. The idea was there, just not the exact quote. Thus my query. Thanks!
(Oh yes, I still cannot believe we are arguing about whether premium fuses make a difference or not! To the nay sayers I put it thusly: They do. Get over it.)
Old and in the Way is the title of and old Jerry Garcia album.
Sorry, Geoff, I wasn't clear, obviously. I was referring instead to, "An ordinary man has no Means of deliverance". Apologies for the confusion. (It certainly sounds religious in origin.)
Ah, that one. That's a quote uttered by William Burroughs in the movie, Naked Lunch.
some liquids are not conductive ie pure water, transformer oil etc.
Yes, pure water.....in my experience DeIonized is indeed non-conductive. Too bad it won't be that was after sticking it in a fuse. DI water has resistivity measured in Megaohms.
Not only that......but the water or whatever, may soak enough heat away to substantially change the fuses 'blow' characteristics.
If you're nutty enough to believe in fuse microphonics, at least try a standard ceramic fuse before spending the big bucks on liquid filled fuses.
Too much is never enough
IMHO, the subject line I chose for you has more pop.
Did you really install it in your amplifier, or did you smoke it? And if the latter, I'll have what you're having.
I would guess that would be needed to sound like tube gear?

Ecology Club Promoting Earth Hour on March 31st
Earth Hour is a worldwide initiative that has grown tremendously over the past several years. The goal of the event is quite simple: to save energy—to turn off all lights and electronics for one hour on Saturday March 31st. Between the hours of 8:30 and 9:30pm we ask Lisle students and residents to take part in this global event. If you are home that evening, turn off all lights and unnecessary electronics for the hour. Have dinner by candlelight, tell stories in the dark, go for a walk outside…OR come join the Ecology Club at Lisle Village Hall that night and watch as the building goes dark for an hour. The students will hand out candles for those who wish to join our group. They will also be asking how you can go beyond the hour. What more can you do to help the environment?
The students are very enthusiastic about this event. We hope you can join us at the village hall on Saturday March 31st. The building will go dark as close to 8:30 pm as we can get it, so plan on arriving a little early if you can, and please dress for the weather accordingly. For more information, check out the Lisle village website or go to earthhour.org to see what other cities and countries across the globe are promising to do for Earth Hour and beyond.
Watch the local 10 o'clock news that night or read the Sunday paper the next day. Take a look at the astonishing amounts of energy saved in just one hour across the globe and seriously consider what more you can do to help the environment.

LeBlanc Adds Nine For 2013
Grant Dovey
February 11, 2013 09:16 AM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University men's soccer coach Marlon LeBlanc announced the addition of nine student-athletes for the 2013 season.
"We have good numbers in regards to competition at each position," coach Marlon LeBlanc says. "We feel very good about where we are as a team and a program. We're going to be pretty young heading into 2013, but we had a lot of young guys play minutes for us a year ago. That youth is more so in class than it is in experience.
"It's a good, dynamic group across all areas of the pitch. We're very excited about this group and feel that they can challenge to be a championship team in the MAC and certainly an NCAA tournament team in 2013."
Eight of the nine signees will join the team out of high school, including two from New Jersey, two from Pennsylvania, two from Texas, one from Georgia and one from Virginia. The Mountaineers added one transfer who hails from Florida.
Coming from the high school ranks is Nick Anello (Freehold, N.J.), Brent Arnold (Landisville, Pa.), Christian Diaz (Houston, Texas), Mike Desiderio (Media, Pa.), Jack Driscoll (Virginia Beach, Va.), Thomas Farrell (West Keansburg, N.J.), Alex Ochoa (Pasadena, Texas) and Kyle Richards (Loganville, Ga.).
The group is rounded out by Pitt transfer
Lee Johnston
(Newberry, Fla.).
Nick Anello, D, 5-11, 166, Freehold, N.J./NJSA 04 Academy/Howell HS
Plays for coaches Antonio Meza and Tab Ramos with NJSA 04 Academy ... has played in 12 games thus far in 2012-13, making six starts ... scored one goal in 29 games with 25 starts in 2011-12 ... selected to participate in the U.S. Soccer Training Center ... participated in the Academy playoffs with the U-15/16 team, the first team in club history to reach the playoffs ... played on the 2008 New Jersey Olympic Development Program squad ... previously served as a captain with Howell United Soccer Club ... played for coach Richard Yuro at Howell High from 2010-11 ... two-year starter as a sophomore and junior ... named Howell Rookie of the Year in 2010, leading the team to the semifinals of the Shore Conference Tournament ... helped team to the semifinals of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group 4 Tournament in 2011 ... father, Salvatore Anello played soccer at Bridgeport ... uncle, Vincent Anello played soccer at Marshall ... three-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer.com ... attended the WVU Men's Soccer Collegiate Prep Academy.
LeBlanc on Anello: Nick Anello is a defender, a very athletic defender. He's long, athletic, fast and can play as a fullback or a wide midfielder. He's a right-footed kid who is very multi dimensional in that he'll get up and down, but also look for the ball at his feet. Nick is a player who is going to compete right away because of his athleticism and we think he is going to find his feet pretty quickly.
Brent Arnold, GK, 6-1, 195, Landisville, Pa./PA Classics Academy/Hempfield HS
Plays for coach Steve Klein with PA Classics Academy ... has posted five shutouts with a 0.76 goals-against average in 13 games thus far in 2012-13 ... defensively, the team is currently ranked No. 3 in the nation according to TopDrawerSoccer ... posted 11 shutouts with a 1.20 goals-against average in 34 games during the 2011-12 season ... took second place at the USSF National Academy Finals in 2011 ... posted 12 shutouts and a 1.00 goals-against average in 2010-11 ... selected to the 2011 MLS Philadelphia Union U17 Generation Adidas Cup Team ... member of the U14 National Pool and the U14 Region 1 Team in 2008-09 ... played for coach Mark Ashley at Hempfield High ... father, Jay, played soccer at Drexel ... mother, Elizabeth, played field hockey at Bloomsburg ... brother, Andrew, played golf at Lehigh ... four-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer ... ranked No. 10 recruit in Pennsylvania by TopDrawerSoccer ... attended the WVU Men's Soccer Collegiate Prep Academy.
LeBlanc on Arnold: Brent is a very good goalkeeper that at one stage was on the best defending team in the Academy. He led them into the Academy finals a year ago and they're right back in the hunt this year. We think he's going to be able to come in and fight for that No. 1 jersey right off the bat. He's worked very hard on his fitness over the last year and you can see a difference in him. He's explosive, covers a lot of ground and is very tough to beat on crosses because he covers his box so well. We think that he is going to be right there when it is time to pencil in the starter. He has the chance to fill in the mold of Zach Johnson and Nick Noble.
Christian Diaz, MF, 5-10, 165, Houston, Texas/Houston Dynamo Academy/Cy Falls HS
Plays for coach Jamie Clarkson with Houston Dynamo Academy ... this season Diaz will become the first Dynamo Academy player to ever play in 100 career matches ... has played in 12 games with one goal in 2012-13, helping the team to first place in the Frontier Division ... has been named to the Dynamo Academy Team of the Week three times this season ... played in 34 games, starting 22 with three goals in 2011-12 ... played at the prestigious Eurovoetbal Tournament in the Netherlands in 2011 ... appeared in all six games, starting two ... played in 18 of 26 games, making 10 starts and finished in the squad's top 10 in minutes played in 2010-11 ... four-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer ... ranked No. 32 recruit in Texas.
LeBlanc on Diaz: Diaz is a tremendous technical player. He makes the game easy for others and makes the players around him better. He is the type of guy who passes it, who is able to relieve pressure and a guy you can play through. He is very intelligent in the way he distributes and his ability to circulate the point of attack. Christian is going to be one of the more dependable players that we have had. He just flat out doesn't turn the ball over and does a fantastic job playing his role.
Mike Desiderio, MF, 5-11, 175, Media, Pa./FC Delco Academy/Penncrest HS
Plays for coach Alan Mezger with FC Delco Academy ... joined club in 2009 and serves as a captain on the U-17/18 squad ... has played in 13 games thus far in 2012-13, making 11 starts ... currently second on the team with four goals ... played in the 2009 Manchester United Premier Cup ... played for coach Paul Norris at Penncrest High as a freshman and a sophomore ... named 2010 All-Delco Honorable Mention ... grandfather is legendary soccer player/manager Walt Bahr, who was a captain of the U.S. National Team and played in the 1950 FIFA World Cup when the U.S. defeated England 1-0, in what is considered one of the greatest upsets in sports history ... three-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer.
LeBlanc on Desiderio: Mike Desiderio is a soccer player. He is the kind of guy that when you go watch him, you don't necessarily see what brings him attention, but he does all of the little things right. He covers ground, plays his role, he plays simple and is a cerebral player. He has the game in his bloodlines and it takes a good recruiting eye to appreciate what he does because he's not going to do anything outside of the norm that wows you necessarily. It is similar to that of a Chris Armas or Richie Williams back in the day. He is just a defensive midfielder with a defensive midfielder mentality, but can also attack.
Jack Driscoll, F/MF, 6-0, 165, Virginia Beach, Va./Beach FC/Cape Henry Collegiate HS
Plays for coach Trevor Adair with Beach FC ... participated in the Disney Showcase ... played for coach David Brun at Cape Henry Collegiate High in 2012 ... named to the VISAA All-State Second Team and All-TCIS Conference First Team ... previously played at Princess Anne High from 2009-11, serving as a two-year captain ... earned All-Eastern Region First Team and All-Beach District First Team honors in 2011 ... three-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer.
LeBlanc on Driscoll: Jack Driscoll is a young man we discovered in our Academy Camp here and is the type of guy who is flying under the radar right now. He is a great athlete with good size, good speed and a knack for scoring goals. I think that Jack Driscoll has a tremendous amount of upside. Our recruiting process with him was similar to that of Eric Schoenle's where nobody knew about him and all of the sudden he took off. Jack is out of the same mold. He has a tremendous amount of agility, so he can side-step defenders, can step in between them and outmuscle them at the same time. He's going to score goals for us. He has all of the physical tools and I think we'll be able to get the most out of him.
Thomas Farrell, MF, 5-7, 160, West Keansburg, N.J./NJSA 04 Academy/St. John Vianney HS
Plays for coaches Antonio Meza and Tab Ramos with NJSA 04 Academy ... has played in 12 games thus far in 2012-13, making eight starts with two goals ... played seven games with six starts before a season-ending injury in 2011-12 ... has played in Italy, Switzerland and France ... previously served as a captain with Howell United Soccer Club and Freehold Legacy ... played for coach Brian Grimm at St. John Vianney High ... started every game for three seasons, becoming the third freshmen to ever accomplish the feat ... three-year starter and a captain in 2011, leading the squad to the state semifinals ... two-time All-Shore Conference, two-time All-Monmouth County and two-time New Jersey All-State Honorable Mention honoree ... three-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer ... attended the WVU Men's Soccer Collegiate Prep Academy.
LeBlanc on Farrell: Tommy is another intelligent midfielder and will play the holding midfielder position for us. He is a two-footed player that is hardnosed with a whole lot of Jersey bite and Jersey attitude. He's a winner by mentality and had a bit of a hiccup with injury last year. We think he fell off the radar because he was out for so long, but he is 100 percent recovered and Tommy will step in and do the dirty work for us in the midfield.

LeBlanc on Johnston: We're really glad that we brought in Lee. We have gotten to see him up close and personal as he was tremendous two years ago when we went and played at Pitt. It took two penalties to beat him after we barraged him with opportunities. He's a long goalkeeper at 6'4" and his wingspan is absolutely massive. Lee, Brent and
Kevin Armstrong
are going to have a great battle to see who our No. 1 goalkeeper is.
Alex Ochoa, D, 5-8, 150, Pasadena, Texas/Houston Dynamo Academy/Pasadena Memorial HS
Plays for coach Jamie Clarkson with Houston Dynamo Academy ... has played and started in all 15 games this season, helping the team to first place in the Frontier Division ... named to the Dynamo Academy Team of the Week on Dec. 5 ... played in 31 games, starting 30 in 2011-12 ... part of the 2011 SUM U-17 Cup that tied for the group title ... only player to play every minute at the prestigious Eurovoetbal Tournament in the Netherlands in 2011 ... started all six games and played 240 minutes ... registered a goal and an assist at the 2011 Dallas Cup ... started 24 of 26 games in 2010-11 as an outside back ... made Dynamo debut at the 2010 SUM U-17 Cup ... four-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer ... ranked No. 21 recruit in Texas.
LeBlanc on Ochoa: Alex Ochoa is an excellent defender and an attacking defender at that. He's got a naturally sweet left foot and a good engine. He reads the game well, he passes well and is just a very sound player. I really think he is the kind of guy who has the ability to break in right away and be an impactful player. He plays 90 minutes regularly with the Dynamo and I just think the kid is top quality.
Kyle Richards, M, 5-9, 140, Loganville, Ga./Concorde Fire Academy/Loganville HS
Plays for coach Gregg Blasingame with Concorde Fire Academy ... has started all 11 games in 2012-13 with one goal ... member of the Canadian U-18 team ... played on the Georgia Olympic Development Program team that won the U-16 National Championship ...played on the Region 3 Olympic Develop Program team for two seasons ... three-year starter for coach Chris Ming at Loganville High ... recorded 21 goals and 20 assists for his career ... two-time All-Region 8-AAAA First Team member ... four-star recruit according to TopDrawerSoccer ... No. 113 on the TopDrawerSoccer IMG Academy 150 ... ranked No. 7 recruit in the South Atlantic region by TopDrawerSoccer ... ranked No. 17 defender by TopDrawerSoccer.
LeBlanc on Richards: Kyle Richards is very similar to Ray Gaddis. He has speed to burn, is athletic, is tough and he is a guy who is going to really remind people of Ray. That's a lofty standard to compare a young player to, but it tells you the regard that we hold Kyle in. He's going to get up and down the pitch and will work his socks off. He is technically sound and has had the opportunity to represent Canada at the youth national level and we're very excited to have him.

Read My Letter: No New Taxes
"Superbad" (Opening Remarks, Nov. 28-Dec. 4) is fairly well-written, but it reaches the wrong conclusion. The supercommittee was a debt reduction committee, not a tax-raising committee. Apparently that point was missed by Paul M. Barrett. If raising taxes is necessary for the U.S. to get out of debt, how does this article square with the fact that President Obama and the Democrats not only want to continue the payroll tax deduction but want to raise it to $1,500? The Congressional Budget Office says this would cost $2 billion in lost revenue. No economist in good standing would suggest raising taxes in a down economy, and I believe we are in one.
Also, I question anyone who wants to give more money to a government with the failings of ours. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have cost us billions; the U.S. Post Office wants $10 billion from taxpayers every year and raises rates. (In the case of the Post Office, bad union contracts should be renegotiated, unneeded employees should be laid off, and unneeded post offices and distribution centers should be closed. There is already pushback from the Democrats regarding closing post offices and distribution centers.) Amtrak loses money every year, the so-called Justice Dept. has not prosecuted anybody from the derivative producing houses that caused the financial collapse, and the Securities and Exchange Commission can't identify a Ponzi scheme—but by its own admission, it "suspected" R. Allen Stanford of Texas for eight years.
No more taxes; cut spending; there are plenty of duplicative agencies and departments. Some we don't need at all, like the Energy Dept., which hasn't come close to the goals identified in its charter but is now wasting money on failing companies and subordinating taxpayers' money to private interest money.

Sustainability's Rating Game
Regarding "Who's the Greenest of Them All?" (Focus on Sustainability, Nov. 28-Dec. 4): One thing I might add, as someone who has spent the last six years assessing sustainability for investment purposes, is that companies need to do a better job of consistently reporting Global Reporting Initiative indicators. GRI Guidelines certainly have some limitations, but it's the best standard we have at the moment, and they are currently working on improvements. While there are many companies using GRI, there are just as many that are not. So instead of making it an apples-to-apples comparison of companies in the same industry, it becomes an apples-to-oranges comparison. That contributes to the problems and challenges around ratings.

A Big Fracking Mess?
Regarding "The Underground Solution" (Cover Story, Nov. 7-13): Thank you for a very informative article. As a progressive green, I found it helpful to understand the scope of the problem. But I wish you had given more discussion over to the produced water that comes up from the wells. The volume is huge, and it is contaminated with some of the toxics you mentioned. Storing on site in open ponds is a really shortsighted practice that got the industry in the bad position it is in from a public-relations aspect.
What systems does the industry have to purify or reuse this water so that it does not remain a potential danger? Would it be feasible to build a portable fractional distillation plant that could separate dangerous or valuable chemicals for recapture or reuse, and allow local discharge of the distilled water?

Yep! Shale gas production will create a lot of economic activity, all right. We'll need advanced flame suppressors miniaturized to fit on the ends of faucets, because fracking releases flammable gases into water supplies, and people in fracked areas have had flames coming out of their faucets. We'll need lots of new earthquake-proof buildings, because fracking causes some pretty big temblors. And we'll need new, waterless technology for growing crops, because fracking poisons water supplies.
What a stroke of genius! Shale gas-induced economic activity will lift us out of our Depression. Thank you, Corporate America! Your CEOs really do deserve their multimillion-dollar bonuses. If all those unemployed people who will benefit from your technical marvels weren't so self-serving, they'd be using their food stamps to buy flowers to send thank-you bouquets.

We need to go solar. Solar doesn't cause earthquakes. If every home had solar panels instead of roofs, how much better off we'd be. In Oklahoma this week, there were 4.7-mag earthquakes. They can thank Chesapeake Energy for that.

Regarding "What Is She Thinking?" (Opening Remarks, Dec. 5-11): How long did it take your team to find the most unflattering photos of Angela Merkel? Good job!

68 Mustang With 302 Stalling Due to Electrical??
I have a 68 Mustang, pretty much fully restored with a 302. Following my recent post about stalling, I've noticed that when turning on the headlights the car sputters and will stall sometimes. The stalling problem has recently also happened during the day, so after more time inspecting, I've noticed that it does good when cool, but when the electric fan kicks on it really runs rough in gear and if I then turn the headlights on it stalls immediately. Does anyone know if this could be caused by the "older" wiring harness, or have any other ideas. PLugs and wires are good and I cant help but think that the electrical (headlights/electric fan) causing it to sputter and stall is a larger problem. From what I can tell, everything is grounded ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The road to Revis Island is littered with mediocre wideouts that don't even get the full treatment and still get shut down. But, only the true stud wide receivers actually make it to, and get the all-inclusive package, on Revis Island. Randy Moss was one of those studs in 2009. In two games against the Jets, Moss racked up 9 catches for 58 yards and one score. While those numbers aren't abysmal, they are a far, far cry from what has come to be expected from Randy Moss.
Based on what we've seen already from both teams I'd say the Patriots roll on Sunday and Randy Moss plays a big part of the effort.
On Monday, Revis seemed to do a good job with the undersized and aging Derrick Mason when he drew him in coverage. Boldin looked like the dominant receiver Baltimore so badly needs while he amassed 7 catches for 110 yards, granted none were on Revis. However, with Flacco doing his best Scott Zolak impression, I'm not sure it really mattered.
A lot has already been made of Darrelle Revis, not to mention the clearly overrated Jets. Although their defense looked stout, it wasn't dominant. Ray Rice had a tough time against the front seven, but in addition to good defense, I would chalk that up to terrible play calling and the quarterback. Honestly, I haven't seen a quarterback perform that badly since Scott Bakula showed up for the Texas State Armadillo's pre-season camp.
Also, when you have one of the best backs in the league, it's beyond me why Willis McGahee should even sniff the field, let alone at the goal line!
On the other hand, the Patriots looked primed and ready to go. The Patriots exceeded expectation in all phases of the game. They blew out a team that won the AFC North last year (Baltimore's division). The score would have been more lopsided had the Pats not lost focus for a good stretch (which we saw them do in 2008 when they went up big). But make no mistake about it, the Bengals defense is good. Consider this. The Bengals defense has climbed from No. 27 to No. 12 to No. 4 in the previous two seasons under coordinator Mike Zimmer, and was supposed to be the foundation of a Super Bowl run.
Here's what Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko had to say:
"I think at end of the first half, we were like deer in the headlights. Our eyes were wide open. We were worried about so many different things we weren't playing fast."
Deer in headlights? Sounds about right. Oh yeah, the anchor of the Jets D-line, Kris Jenkins, is done for the season.
The Pats' defense had lightning speed and looked vicious. Sure, the Bengals hung 24 on them, but despite people's claims that Carson Palmer is done, the guy is still an above average quarterback with arguably the best core of wide outs in the league. So, is 24 points of concern to the Patriots? Absolutely. They'll be the first to admit they need to improve every week.
But, is Mark Sanchez Carson Palmer? Hardly. Combine that with Braylon Edwards not being able to catch a cold and what does the Jets offense rely on? Yes, Santonio Holmes is sick but suspended. Shonn Greene might not sniff the field until Week 6 after that showing on Monday (did anyone else get screwed in fantasy by this bum?). So what's left? LaDainian Tomlinson! Perfect. Something tells me the Jets will have to wait until Week 3 to score their first touchdown of the season. Pretty good for the Super Bowl favorites.
Heading into this weekend, the primary story line is going to be how Randy Moss performs against Revis. Despite his claims that he's not disgruntled Moss is definitely not sending the Pats front office edible arrangements anytime soon. Disgruntled or not, he's playing with a chip on his shoulder this year regardless of the opponent.
Moss is a first ballot Hall of Famer and third on the all-time list of receiving touchdowns with 135 (Terrell Owens is # 2 with 139, and Jerry Rice is #1 with 197). Keep in mind that Owens has played two more years than Moss as well.
Moss is the receiver of his generation. He's got the best quarterback of this generation throwing to him AND he willingly admits he's built his off-season training around Darelle Revis. Would I be surprised if Moss blows up for 130 yards and two touchdowns? Not at all. But as we all know, that's not always the game plan with Randy. As Belichick always so candidly states; Moss's purpose is to blow the top off the opposition's defense and open up space underneath. If and when that happens, expect big games from Wes Welker and Brandon Tate. If the Jets defense tries to adjust to the short game, there's Randy Moss. The important thing to understand is what Moss's job is on the field and analyze that appropriately.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist (edition 2008)
by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan
Work details
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An adorable, sappy, punk rock, teenage romance that takes place in the span of one night. Nick is desperate, his ex-girlfriend the evil wench that broke his heart is at the club where his band is playing and he can't face her. She's already moved on, has a new boyfriend and he can't stop moping. When he sees her approaching him he turns to a random girl he doesn't know and pleads, "Will you please be my girlfriend for the next five minutes?" Thus starts a long night of punk music, burlesque nuns, disappointment, heartbreak, and ultimately, hope. I really hope the movie does this edgy provocative book justice because I really enjoyed it. The story is told in alternating viewpoints from both Nick and Norah.
This review is based on the audiobook version.
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist makes the list of novels that I wish I hadn't wasted hours of my life on, which surprises me because the reviews are generally good. The reviews also informed me that I would find this book hilarious. And, maybe I would have if I hadn't been so busy counting the number of times in which "f*ck" was used to see if it was repeated more than "the." It was a tie. Now, I don't believe in censoring one's language when writing, but "f*ck" was used more in this novel than in all of the war novels, Godfather novels, and crime novels combined that I've ever read (and that's a lot), which led me to accept that it was being used pretentiously and that word, pretentious, pretty much encapsulates this novel.
(This would be that YA novel that Ruth Graham from Slate told you you should be embarrassed to read. It's definitely not intended for a mature audience.)
To be fair, and demonstrate why I bothered giving it two stars, there were a few good moments, a few insights, but they were mostly from Nick's point-of-view. He could express a coherent philosophy that moved beyond appearances and gender and explored an outer world experience while Norah seemed to be stuck in the superficial, the world of boys and looks (stereotyping what people believe a teenage girl is), which is probably why her character would utter the, again pretentious, statement that the Beatles were overrated.
So, maybe if I were a youngish, I would treasure this book as a testament to the "awesomeness" of my generation, but then again, maybe not, hopefully not because I would like to think that the young me even valued something more than instant gratification.
I read Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist a long time ago I want to say about six years ago, I had been wanting to re-read it luckily for me it came out as my TBR jar book of the month.
It is definitely a quick pace, fast read I literally finished it in a day. You should be warned that the language is vulgar so if you're not into having the f bomb thrown around a lot then you may find this a bit over the top.
Our Story
Nick is still not over his ex Tris who broke his heart like three weeks, three days and 23 hours and 5 minutes ago [he is really counting]. When he sees her at a club after his band just performed with her new boyfriend, he does the only thing he can think of. He asks the girl standing next to him if she would pretend to be his girlfriend for five minutes. Five minutes that's all he needs.
And so the story begins.
Like I mentioned in the beginning, this book is a fast and easy read and a bit vulgar. It is a bit crazy for all this to happen in seriously one night. But still it's a fun read.
I loved how music was incorporated. I didn't know much about the songs mentioned but I did like how both characters were into music and how it really played out in the story.
I did think it was a bit over the top and bit corny. I mean that's one hell of night, I'm kinda jealous.
Our Characters
Nick is the guy who just experienced his first heartbreak. He is also the only straight guy in all gay band. But is also sweet, a little romantic and kind of shy. He's the kind of guy to write love songs about you. Like what girl wouldn't fall for that?
She's a bit rough around the edges. She's sarcastic. She's awesome. I really liked how she wasn't afraid to be a fool and say silly things in front of Nick. You see her grow from being a bit side offish to finally breaking out of her shell.
It is a bit over the top and has a cheesy romance that all happens in one night. But if you are looking for a fast quick read then go on and pick this up. And watch the movie when you're done.
This wasn't a bad book, I just hated the extreme overuse of the f-word and some of the sexual references were too explicit for my tastes. However, the storyline was fun and I enjoyed the alternating perspectives of Norah and Nick as they told their story. This might be one of these rare times where the movie is better than the book!? For older teens only!
Better than the movie, no Michael Cera for starters.

actually it looks to me like the might need help finding the right truck for him and with current trucks if its even worth it considering what he already has.
Just a little advice from me on the subject (and if it is a ad shame on you
I would NOT go to a newer s-10, as underpowered as the older ones were they were definetly the strongest. I currently have a 01 s-10 4cyl. and in the last year ive spent over 1000 dollars on upkeep alone.. that doesnt count tune-ups and oil changes. It is hugely underpowered and only gets about 20mpg on average. The 3rd door latch, the seat adjuster and the rearview mirror has fallen off(all known issues with the s-10). And im on the 2nd cat conv., you cant reach anything in the engine compartment, so even changing the plug takes extreme effort. As far as looks go I love it. For a mini truck that is my daily driver i couldnt be happy with appearance inside and out. However Im about to trade it in for a cherokee and cant wait until that day. To answer your question however... If your looking for fuel economy go for the mazda. The dependability will be better in the long run and usually imports do have more power for the mileage. As far as it being an import it is just a rebadged ford. And i personally think they look just about as good.
Not trying to tell you what to do. just a warning and my 2cents.

and almost didnt stop. unbeknownst to me, on this last pass of the day (for obvious reasons LOL) the staging brake decided to puke all over. but i didnt know it until the pass was made and it was time to stop. and i got all of this fountain show on vid as i use a gopro to specifically watch the shifting action. the brakes felt a little bit mushy after the burnout, and the staging brake didnt feel as tight either.
the day was great, made 3 full passes in a row, all shifted great, each one progressively quicker than the previous by .13 sec each. picked up 37 mph on the back half of the first pass even.
i am working on processing all the videos, and Jon is going to do some intro work i think. so stay tuned for those.
but boy MF HOWDY, what a world of difference it makes actually being able to shift easily and cleanly!!!!
my tuner told me once i run a 9.5x he will give me >800 at the wheel.... well i did it!
here is the air info for each run:

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans
Is Hawkeye Happy To See You?: If you ever end up next to Jeremy Renner on a flight, hopefully he'll remember to take the right pill. During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this week, the "Bourne Legacy" star recalled an embarrassing inflight experience that left him feeling a little stiff. "Somebody gave me some pills, like Ambien. So I took a little sleeping pill, popped it and realized nothing's happening, but something else was happening!" the actor said, explaining he was crisscrossing the country for work and tried to get some rest on the plane. "I realized very quickly that the 'A' was actually a little 'V' on the pill. Not only did I not sleep the entire flight, but there was...'camping' happening!" Luckily the cabin crew was there to help Jeremy in his time of need. "The flight attendants were sort of in on the joke," he added. "They were like, 'Can we get you anything, Mr. Renner?' 'Yeah, funny, ice, ice!'"
