whats to cold for a dog to be outside
I have to leave for work early in the mornings and sometimes late at night. luke is a big dog with a medium coat he has a dog house under a patio close to house with blankets I put in evey time he takes them out. if hes cold will he seek shelter in dog house for warmth? whats to cold its getting down to 30 for few hrs at a time now

Personally I think Luke's hair is too short to keep him warm in 30-40 degree weather and he should be given a heater or be kept indoors. Dogs like Huskies, St. Bernards, Newfies are bred to handle the colder weather. I'm sure he will go into his dog house to get out of rain or snow but that doesn't mean he's warm. Even if you can give him space in the kitchen or laundry room in real cold weather, he would be better off. Luke is gorgeous.

You know I don't have an answer to that but I love dogs almost as much as most people and I don't have the heart to see a dog out in the cold. I even went as far as getting my neighbor's little poodle out of a snowstorm and bringing him in my home. I could have been arrested and my husband was yelling at me but I live in a fairly warm climate and this was a freak snowstorm and my heart was breaking for that poor little dog. I say if we are cold.. they possibly are too. That's just my opinion though...

30's is kinda cold and a dog house isn't heated so maybe put in a doggy door would be a good idea.
Member 747865 answered on 10/13/08. Helpful? / 0
A few things.First, if this is new, leaving him out side instead of crateing him,Start Now while it's a bit warm.He has a lot of coat to build up.My next point.He will develop a coat for outdoor weather and you think the shedding is bad now....just wait.
You know he is pulling the blanket out of the dog house,have you witnessed him actually useing the dog house?If you've never seen him take a nap in there chances are he doesn't see it as shelter.
There is nothing wrong with outdoor doggies.But they aren't born outdoor doggies.Just be sure he has the skills and tools he needs to be safe and healthy.Make sure you know he knows what the dog house is for.Plenty of water and I'd put water in two locations, one near his shelter space and one in his play space.Toys too. He'll get bored and this could lead to extra anxiety issues.Indoor toys,outdoor toys.Not indoor/outdoor.
Okay.My typing and communication skills are lacking I hope I was able to shed some light on this for you.

I as well believe this is too cold for a dog to be outside. My Pyr loves the winter and at times you will see him curled up in a snowbank catching some zzzz's but even he knows when to head inside the house. I think a doghouse protects against sun and rain but not extreme cold. Your dog may go into his house in the hopes to find warmth but I can't imagine he'll be warm, especially with no blankets or hay to help. He depends on you to keep him well fed, warm and healthy, and in return he will give you many years of happiness.

My shih tzu PREFERS to be outside even during chilly weather. he will gladly spend 5 to 6 hours outside (or in the garage w/ a heated bed) even when temps get into the mid 30s--then we humans say it's inside time.
I think it depends on what provisions you provide. If you are providing a dog house, straw is a GREAT insulator and will help him keep warm. But i would strongly suggest and outdoor, weather proof, heated bed. The model we use keeps a constant temperature at around 80 degrees (you have to check it periodically to make sure all wires are intact and it is otherwise sound-keep it safe). We have used heated beds for years w/o any problem.
If you leave him out you just have to make sure you have a non-freezing water bucket, plenty of insulated shelter (or heated bed), and that you keep in mind precipitation--if it is snowing/wet dogs get much colder. Be smart if it is REALLY cold and windy leave him in... if he clearly doesn't want to spend time outside then don't make him

Thank you for using Just Answer.
You should continue with the hearing take pictures of the existing fenced yard and if possible get a mock up of what it would look like with your fence in place.. You can also ask the request be brought to a full HOA meeting for consideration . Many of the By Laws have provisions for bringing questions such as fencing up for review. This may require you to get a petition signed with some minimum number of residents. You will have to read and become familiar with your covenants.
I know you wanted a wood fence, perhaps buyer and association could agree on a wrought iron fence. Being from Austin myself I have seem a number of this type of fencing on golf courses.
Failing a cooperating HOA , since a neighbor already has a fence you could decide to take the matter to court to force them to allow the fence to go in. Decisions on variances from covenants are either kept consistent or they must be struck. Refusing to allow you to have a fence after it was already previously approved for another may be deemed an arbitrary and capricious denial. Decisions that are arbitrary and capricious are usually not upheld by the courts.
Fighting for your right to put in the fence could be a lengthy and expensive process. Covenants are very difficult to get around. Ultimately you could try to get a ore friendly board elected.
If you found this answer useful please press the appropriate quality of service button of 3 or greater. This is needed so I can get credit for my answer. If you have follow up questions please ask.
This communication does not establish an attorney-client relationship.Information provided here is not legal advice. Rather it is simply general information.
We have taken photos already and are prepared to present them. What you're really saying is that it's all up to their discretion as to whether they will grant this or not.
The issue is the wooden fence. We CAN have an iron fence but the buyer specifically wants a wooden privacy fence.
Thanks for your time.
If you cannot convince the HOA board to allow the fence you are pretty much out of luck. Historically covenants have been difficult to overcome. The cost of litigating a covenant issue can be large. You have an opportunity to attempt to successfully litigate since 1 fence is already in place.

My last car was a toyota aristo twin turbo mk2 and was a great car but just to gutsy on the old petrol getting like 15mpg .

My 350 Is Still Using Oil Somewhere
Hi Everyone
I have a 350 Chev which has done about 1400 miles since a fresh rebuild. I have a problem with oil consumption. It seems to just keep on losing oil. I don't know if oil could be seeping into the combustion chamber through the intake gaskets, or if their is a ring problem. It doesn't blow visible smoke or anything through normal driving. But if I give it some from the traffic lights, I can see a swirly haze in other peoples headlights. I'll even leave it overnight to check the oil level, and it is lower and lower every day. It seems to lose oil at a slower rate if I take it easy load and revs. I've checked if the PCV is sucking oil, and it seems to be clean.
Should my rings be run in by now?
I used Castrol GTX 15w-40 mineral oil for the run-in to 500 miles, and now am using ULX-110 20w-50 (thicker oil for our Australian summer.)
Specs : flat top pistons, moly rings, .040" overbore, standard rocker covers and PCV System.
It's blowing by your rings. Be patient, may take several thousand miles to stop sucking oil.
In 1978 I purchased a new camaro w/350 . I was going through 2 - 3 quarts per month & with out being that noticeable through the exhaust .I was 1st told by the dealer that the engine is breaking in . After complaining to GM they took the car & found that the valve guide seals were never installed . 55Mole
Thanks Very Much for your help, guys. I was just wondering Willys36, I was told by an engine builder that if the rings aren't bedded in as yet, that if it goes on for too many miles, they will never bed in, and oil use would be at a greater level.
Have you ever heard of or seen rings that don't bed in within a few thousand miles? Is it a common occurance?
Well, I have heard those horror stories too, but in my experience I have never had an engine (a dozen or so) that didn't eventually seat the rings within a few thousand miles. I just don't worry about it 'cause it has been my experience that it fixes itself. Admittedly I am just a hobbyist so maybe an engine builder type can chime in here.
From my experience it seems that the valve guides will smoke when changing gears (manual trans). I would take it out to the freeway and get it up to high speed/rpm... Perhaps there is some sort of additive that could be added to the oil to stop the leak??? No leaks, right?
My experience with valve guides is that when they are going south there is a big puff of blue smoke on startup that soon goes away, even if the engine isn't using a lot of oil. Rings don't do that, they smoke while running, but not necessarily on startup.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone for their help.
What i'll do, is keep an eye on the oil level, and hopefully, it will come good after a few thousand miles.
Thank You
When you had the engine rebuilt, did you re-bore or re-hone the cylinders? what kind of stones did they use in the honing process? For plasma-moly coated ductile rings, you should have had a relatively smooth bore finish after the honing process.
Did you have your bores measured at various locations up and down the bore, to check for straightness? the bores could have been round at the top, but distorted towards the bottom of the stroke, and the rings might not be sealing. Anywhere the bore is out of circle, your rings won't touch the wall of the bore and you'll get oil blowing by. Do a compression leakdown test. Get an idea of how well your rings are sealing.
my 2 cents
the blonde weasel
san diego, CA
I agree. If it was just a rering job then you'd need rings of cast iron type that are cut for quick bedding in. We don't know what's been done inside your engine. Take a look at all your spark plugs and look for any abnormal deposits/oily build up/crust. It could be just one cylinder that's giving you the problems. I have access to a borascope that allows me to look inside engines which is real handy. In your case Id remove the carb and with the scope look at the intake valves for oil build up below the guides. In your case manifold removal is needed to view of course. I remember being told by some rough mechanics that the've sped up the ring bed in process by pouring small amounts of Bon-ami cleaning powder down the carb' while the engine's running! Now I did'nt tell you that and I'd certainly would not try something like that myself. I gather there's no warranty on the motor so you either need to be patient or look further into the problem.
oil loss
Small blk chevys have a problem sucking oil from bottom of intake, what kind of intake and what intake gasket did you use .
My Dad told me Chevy advised the GM Dealerships the same thing for oil usage (rings not seating) on the 1st 265 V8s in 1955 up, and it worked. I'm thinking I would not want to do it then or today, butt hey it's a true storie. and he said most don't and won't believe it today.....
Doc here,
Another 2 year OLD thread...
Wonder if he ever got it resolved and How?
Shoot! I didn't even look at the post date! Is it just me, or are a lot of these old posts getting bumped lately?

" Brand: Lush / Type: Soap "
My favourite store, Lush, invented a number of Easter products this year like they do every year. As is customary, one of the new products was a soap. This year's soap was called Easter Egg Hunt.
The name was highly appropriate, as the soap was designed to look like a green lawn studded with Easter eggs. The eggs came in all colours and sizes, and looked simply stunning on top of the circular soap. My piece was marginally less impresssive, consisting of a green piece of soap studded with a blue egg. Still, it looked pretty nice.
The soap was scented with the same raspberry fragrance as the Mumkin bubble bar which was released for Mother's Day. I thought it smelled lovely, really fruity and fresh. A 100g piece cost £3.40, which is expensive, but Lush soaps are certainly high quality.
The soap was suitable for vegans and was made up of a base of rapeseed and coconut oils. Lush no longer use palm oil in their soap bases, as the farming of this ingredient is destroying rainforest habitats, a decision which I applaud. Unfortunately some of the lesser ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulfate contain palm oil, but at least it is used in much smaller quantities than it would be in an entire soap base. Other ingredients include bergamot oil, Sicilian lemon oil and violet leaf absolute, which help to create the delicious scent.
The soap was very pleasant to use: it lathered up well, cleansed well and didn't dry my skin out or irritate it. In addition, it left a lovely fruity scent on my skin for a little while after use. I tried it a couple of times as a body soap, but then stuck to using it as a hand soap, simply because I have such a lot of soaps to use up.
Unfortunately the soap did seem to wear down rather quickly, which was somewhat disappointing given the price. I like and recommend this soap, but I would definitely suggest it as a treat rather than an everyday soap.
Easter Egg Hunt Soap is no longer being made by Lush, but it may still be available in some stores or online.

auerbrau (307) Ithaca, New York | October 10, 2012| Updated December 13, 2012
October 10, 2012. To be fair, I was in a bad mood the last time I was here and let the douchey clientel bother me. I keep coming back, though, because the draft selection is nice and the bartenders have been attentive and friendly. Once you get past the crowd, you find a thoughtfully selected list and a cozy back of the bar that has a beer cellar feel to it, with some fun things on shelves behind glass. The big set back are the prices. Its not hard to find a 12oz pour of something that will set you back more than $10.
September 5, 2012. Feeling kind of crappy about New Haven, the general atmosphere of this place didnt help. Old, wood-paneled, and crawling with starched white corporate suits stuffing overcooked pizza, sliders, and wings into their face as fast as they could, chasing it down with whatever had a lot of alcohol and was expensive. A little too much for the "gentry" in my opinion. The one shining star was the bartender who was friendly, bright eyed, and quick. The beer was in a decent glass and at the right temperature. Prices were high.
Boudicca (1231) London, England | June 8, 2015
A very nice place which ticked all the boxes for me. Its stylish, comfortable and relaxed with a great beer list. In addition, the music was played at a low level and there were only two relatively unobtrusive television screens. There are areas at either side of the front door with comfy looking armchairs and settees and towards the back theres an area for dining. Theres also a small glass fronted room which at first I thought was a shop but its actually where they keep their kegs and bottles, all very neatly stored and on display. Its my kind of place and deservedly at the top of Ratebeers list of places in New Haven. (Visited 30 October 2012).
DrSilverworm (120) Cincinnati, Ohio | May 2, 2015
Stopped here during my Nepenthia CT trip. The place is located in downtown New Haven, a really beautiful city (moreso than expected). The inside of the bar is pretty nice too, kind of an english-pub feel. Place was mostly empty at 2pm on a Saturday. The high-tables in the center were a bit crowded for our group of 12, so I moved over to the bar. Yes the place has a decent selection of locals, as well as a solid selection of 12 Percent imports. Of the 53 or so beers on tap (a few were empty), I found 12 beers new for me, so I ordered 3 flights of 4. The flights are individually priced, but my total for the 3 flights was $48 -- thats $4 a 4oz. Needless to say, I was shocked by the price. I mentioned my surprise casually to the bartender, curious for his response. He gave me the usual schpiel about how kegs can be really expensive. He mentioned one keg they recently tapped they served for $12 a pour and still lost money on it. Yeah, bull shit (itd have to be a $700+ 20 L -- unheard of). Food was surprisngly expensive too. I opted for one of the cheaper items on the menu, the $7 chili bowl, which was decent but not special. Bit too chunky. Cant complain about the service, waitresses and bartenders were both helpful. Overall, this is a good place to stop to find some new beers, but be wary of the prices -- especially for the flights. The bill left me with a bad taste. Im going to start to pay more attention to the "value" score more when I choose the bars I want to visit. If I ever return to New Haven and can only visit one bar, Ill give Prime 16 a try.
KyotoLefty (717) Kyoto, Japan | August 23, 2014
Great place. Wnted to stay longer. My bartender was supremely friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection. Area beers were interesting and well priced. Theynhad lots of interesting Belgians as well, though they were quitr pricy and could not tempt me. Would definitely go back, again during happy hour, as it seems to be a madhouse at later times.
t0rin0 (1529) Do Not Resuscitate, California | July 11, 2014
Visited June 1, 2014.
This wasnt a planned stop but it is on the same street as BruRm so why not? Its a pretty interesting setup in the sense that its a lounge. There are couches and they had the doors open in front so you can sit on a couch thats basically out on the sidewalk and enjoy your drink. Theyve also got a pretty large tap list. After scanning through it there were several new beers to try but the one that I went with was the new eisbock from BFM. Its not every day that I get to try a new eisbock. Unfortunately it was not very good. It was vinegary and clearly messed up. Oh well, a tick is a tick. Prices were high but the atmosphere was pleasant. I didnt see too many of the bros referenced in the last rating but it was a Sunday afternoon so maybe that had something to do with it. Cool place.
TylerGreenDC (58) , | March 21, 2014| Updated March 27, 2014
Where New Havens bros go to get their preppy on. OK, thats not quite fair. This is where New Havens preppies go to let their bro sides go wild. Whichever, its a kind of cheesy, wood-paneled paean to yesteryear, with about 30+ beers on tap (60? ha!), evenly split between varieties. Nothing unusual or rare, just usuals from around the US and Europe, with a commendable selection of NY and New England beers. Not cheap. Meh food. Music so loud that you couldnt hear the clientele discussing the new new shades of pink available at Vineyard Vines. Glad its here, but not eager to return.
LKay (1) Maryland | October 7, 2012
Very fun and unique place. Diamond in the rough beers available!
joebudzjoe (45) Connecticut | February 20, 2012
This beer bar has an amazing selection of beer but jacks up the prices. While their beer menu always has a few $5 pints (tonight Raison Detre was on the value list), $9 Ten Fidy is simply absurd. On a Sunday night, the place was moderately filled and cozy; lots of varnish and dark wood. Compared to Norwalks and Greenwichs Gingerman, Cask Republic has the best level of ambiance. Lots of space. Bartenders are knowledgable and wait staff is solid. Food is very good, but pricy as well.
DiarmaidBHK (856) Lewisburg, Pennsylvania | April 22, 2011| Updated August 8, 2011
I made the mistake of visiting late on a Thursday night. The place was a zoo with music played a deafening level as the under 25 crowd tried to get over on one another. Not the sort of thing I was expecting. This sort of beer, they have over 50 taps and and over 100 bottles of real quality, with a crowd that just wants bmc product that can be served by just twisting off the bottle top. When your serving doubles, stouts, and barleywines that need time to settle and you dont have any time to wait for the drink to settle, youre going to get ripped. The abbey double I ordered only ended up about 60% full. But the bartender got really obnoxious and rude at the end of the night near closing time. I know bartenders dont like to linger to long after closing time, but if theres still 10 minutes to go until then you shouldnt be yelling at me to chug my drink. Its too bad. They obviously put a lot of care into their bottle selection and their taps but they have no idea how to attract the kind of crowd that will keep them open. There are definitely places in New Haven, Delaneys tap room comes to mind, with just as good a selection and much more humane treatment. If I do ever go back, and thats a big if, it certainly wont be at night.

Not too much time to try multiple locations on a recent trip, so I decided to give this one a shot. Very glad I did, as it was a pleasant couple hours all around. Handsome long wooden bar, with nice fixtures, roomy seating, etc. Clean and well-maintained, friendly and knowledgeable service. Food was quite nice too, and I had some tuna tartare while I tried some regional brews. Wide-ranging selection, including some barrel-aged and cask goodies, NE micros and Belgians well represented, etc. Will definitely go back next time Im in town, and hope to try Prime 16 as well.

Re: Sampras - AUSSIE OPEN
Ten-Year Anniversary of Emotional Sampras Match Mirrors Ten Years of Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation
PALM COAST, Fla. On January 24, 1995,
Pete Sampras played the toughest tennis match of his life and his coach, Tim Gullikson, began to fight a battle unlike any hed ever experienced on the court.
As the Australian Open celebrates its Centennial, the Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation, which helps support brain tumor patients and their families, recognizes its 10th year. Both found their wings in Melbourne, one consciously, the other because of one of lifes double faults from which few recover.
Ranked No. 1 in the world ATP rankings, Sampras, along with Gullikson were in Melbourne, Australia preparing for Sampras tournament run when Gullikson had a seizure. Accompanied by his twin brother Tom, Tim Gullikson was admitted to a Melbourne hospital where doctors thought he had brain tumors.
It was a very uncertain time, Tom Gullikson recalled. Pete came to see Tim everyday after practice and other coaches and players were taking time out of their training routines to do the same.
Sampras, who arrived in Melbourne with a tournament title as his goal, found himself determined to play exceptional tennis for his ailing coach.
I remember having to play knowing that Tim was not doing that well and wanting to get through some tough matches for him, said Sampras who is retired from professional tennis.
Before Tim left Australia to travel home for further testing, close friends and associates visited to wish him well. Among them were Sampras and Jim Courier who were scheduled to play one another in a tournament quarterfinal the following day.
What happened January 24 is etched in Aussie Open archives and was the most emotional display of a coach and player bond in professional sports history. As Tim and Tom Gullikson flew home to Chicago, Courier and Sampras played a tight match. Down two sets to love, a spectator yelled to Sampras do it for your coach, at which point the protégé broke down on the court. He would continue the match with tears streaming throughout. Sampras played each point with heart and tenacity, and captured the next three sets and match from Courier, 6-7, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3.
It was Tim Gullikson who helped Sampras develop the tenacity he showed on the court, even as he bowed to Andre Agassi in the Opens title match.
Tims attitude about practicing hard, his work ethic and knowledge of the game made a lasting impression on me on and off the court, Sampras said.
Tim Gullikson used the same determination to battle brain cancer.
This was obviously an emotional time for Tim and our family, Tom Gullikson said, and Tim took it at as hard as anyone would. Tim said, though, that he had two fundamental choices. He could wait to die or he could fight the brain tumors for all it was worth.
Once Tim Gullikson knew what he was facing he developed a game plan to fight the disease that is the No. 2 cause of cancer deaths in children and young adults, and the No. 3 cause of cancer deaths in middle-aged adults. Then he turned his attention to others who fought the disease. If he, who had a loving and supportive family and the best medical attention available found it challenging to find information about how to live with this disease on a daily basis, how would other patients and caregivers cope?
Tim said if someone had to face something as serious as brain tumors, it was good that it was him because he had so much support from family and friends, Tom Gullikson said. He reverted to a coachs role. Tim believed in incorporating the principles of team-building, mental attitude development and coaching on how to best treat and live with the illness to create a source where patients and families could go for information and fill a gap in doctors offices.
Tim Gullikson, with Tom, wife Rosemary and other family members founded the Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation.
Tim continued to coach Pete over the phone, Tom Gullikson said. Paul Annacone was brought in to coach Pete on-site on an interim basis. Tim fully expected to return to Petes side as his coach.
Tim handled everything with amazing fight, hope and a positive attitude. He never had a bad day.
Although Tim Gullikson died on May 3, 1996, his legacy lives on. Ten years and more than $3 million dollars later, the Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation awards scholarships to college-bound students whose lives have been affected by brain tumors, supports research regarding quality of life issues that confront brain tumor patients, provides camp scholarships to children who are brain tumor survivors to attend Ronald McDonald Good Time Camps, funds social workers on the East and West coasts and in the Midwest who have developed social service programs for, and provide support via a toll-free telephone line and the Internet, to brain tumor patients ,caregivers and brain tumor networking groups.
The Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation played an instrumental role in developing the Brain Tumor Family Support Center at Duke University Medical Center, a model support program for large teaching hospitals.
In 2005, the Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation celebrates its 10th anniversary. In launching a yearlong celebration, benefits will be held throughout the United States beginning in March with Desert Smash in California and Tennis for Tim in Southeastern Wisconsin.
The Foundation has done such a wonderful job at keeping Tims vision firmly intact, and I have no doubt that it will continue to do so, Sampras said.
According to Tims wife, Rosemary Gullikson, Tim was always a coach who cared about other people and their needs. As the Foundation that bears his and his brothers names recognizes its 10th anniversary, she believes that the Foundations programs pay tribute to that legacy.
The Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation was founded in 1995 by former tennis professionals Tim and Tom Gullikson and their families after Tim was diagnosed with brain tumors. The mission of the Foundation is to assist brain tumor patients and their families manage the physical, emotional and social challenges presented by the illness. It funds care and support programs of organizations with similar missions, and through college and camp scholarships. The Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. It may be reached at 1-888-GULLIKSON and

adhocParty Beta Starts In Japan
After a week's delay, the adhocParty beta is now ready for use. PSP owners in Japan (not sure if it can be used outside the country, will try later) can go to the Japanese PSN on their PS3 and download the adhocParty application to start fighting monsters with their friends in Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, the first game that will support the feature (Phantasy Star Portable is next).
Update: Service works outside Japan, and it's easy to join/set-up a game too. Played a match of MHP 2ndG with a HR9 hunter from Japan, fun!
Update 2: I made a little guide here

Shedding Light on the New Nook
Although black-and-white e-readers are generally lighter, cheaper, and snappier than they used to be, they still don't excel in low light. That's an area where tablets and their brightly lit color screens have a clear advantage. With its new $139 Nook, arriving this week, Barnes and Noble aims to fix that.
Save for a slight, gray border, this new WiFi-only Nook appears identical to last year's. It has the same curvy, rubbery plastic body; the same 6-inch-sized touch-friendly black-and-white e-ink display; and, even the same components inside. The industrial design

President's Files | White House Central Files | Staff Office Files
President's Files
Staff Secretary's File
This file includes one series titled the Presidential Handwriting File, which is actually materials from the President's outbox, complete with the President's handwritten annotations. Not all of the items President Carter saw are included (it is particularly weak on foreign and military policy), but the series is the most accurate reflection of the President's daily paperwork. The series is arranged chronologically. 125 linear feet.
Susan Clough File
Susan Clough served as personal secretary to Jimmy Carter for many years, including the period he was President. She retained material that she was instructed or believed might be of recurring interest to the President. 26 linear feet.
Plains File
In December, 1982, President Carter transferred to the Carter Library staff this material which he had taken from the White House back to his home in Plains. Presumably used in writing Keeping Faith, most of this material consists of briefing books and correspondence. 17 linear feet.
Return to Top of Page
White House Central Files
The White House Central Files consist of material filed by the approximately 25 professional staff members in what is currently known as the White House Office of Records Management. Most offices in the White House utilized the White House Central Files for some of their filing. Modified through the years by the Central Files staff, the filing system is complex but easy to use.
White House Central Files Subject File
The Subject File is the primary filing system of the White House Central Files. The alphanumeric filing scheme allows a document and related attachments to be filed under the subject heading most appropriate for the document, while cross-reference copies of just the first page are placed in other subject categories or the Name File.
The primary subject categories and amount of material they contain are listed below. There are normally many numerical sub-categories within these primary subject categories that facilitate the location of a document on a particular topic.

White House Central File Name File
The Name File contains primarily cross-references into the Subject File. It is arranged alphabetically by name of individuals and organizations. A single document may appear several places in the Name File, cross-referenced by name of author of the document and by names of people and organizations mentioned in the document. This file is processed only on request. Please contact the Library with your requests for names to be processed prior to coming to do research. 1564 linear feet.
Social Office File
This is the White House Office of Records Management's separate file for Mrs. Carter's office. It includes separate Subject, Name, and Oversize Attachment files. 140 linear feet. Unprocessed and not available for research.
Weekly Presidential Mail Sample
These items were selected by employees of the White House Correspondence Office from letters sent to the White House by the general public. The letters were sent to the President on an irregular basis, usually in groups of fewer than 10 letters at a time. They are now arranged chronologically, with President Carter's responses attached. One linear foot eight inches.
Chronological File
The Chronological File is the location for a copy of each official action signed by the President. Seven linear feet.
Correspondence Tracking
The White House Correspondence Tracking System (C-Track) was instituted in the White House in 1979. Made possible by computer technology, the system was intended to track the response to correspondence from the time a letter was received in the White House Correspondence Office until it was answered by White House offices or government agencies. Retrieval of individual pieces of correspondence was facilitated because each of the incoming letters tracked in this manner was given a unique identification number by which the incoming letter, outgoing response, and memorandum concerning the correspondence were filed.
Only incoming mail that was deemed worthy of the expense of tracking was entered into the Correspondence Tracking system. Some of the incoming correspondence is from government agencies, but most is not, and no internal White House memorandum was assigned an original identification number. White House memorandums are often attached to the incoming and outgoing correspondence when those memorandums concern the response to the correspondence.
The items are filed by identification number, but access is facilitated by subject and name indexes. 118 linear feet.
Oversize Materials
Characterized by the White House Office of Records Management as "On the Shelf," "Oversize Attachments," and "Confidential File Oversize Attachments," these files included several hundred more feet of material when they were transferred from the White House to the Carter Library. However, many of the items have been removed and integrated with the Staff Office Files of the office that originally sent the material to the Office of Records Management. Approximately 500 linear feet. Some processed on request, but most unavailable pending processing as part of various Staff Office Files.

When someone is right by, you know they're your friend,
Like a lioness protecting her cub.
You know it's not going to be the end,
Just like a strong, never-ending club.
When in desperate need for a giant smile,
Friendship may be the best route to go on,
Like a rider going on a mile.
And when someone that you love is gone,
Like a lonely duckling to his mother,
You have a buddy's shoulder to cry on,
And a friend to me is like a brother.
There at all times, just like a loving mom,
As long as you have someone there for you
Then you should always be the for them too.
No Stories yet, You can be the first!

Post subject: Time for Payton to finish what he started!
I may be wrong for feeling this way but Im growing antsy here! I want to see the Saints start getting active and prove to the fans that they meant what they said when they talked about holding people accountable. Payton did that by firing Steve Spagnuolo upon his return from suspension but the hammer shouldnt stop there, players are just as guilty for the demise of this defense and major changes need to made their as well.
While other franchises begin cutting aging high priced veterans across the league, I just have this bad feeling that some of these players on this team might get a pass that they dont deserve. I dont want excuses and restructured contracts I WANT CUTS! I feel its the best way to put what was the 2012 season behind us and move forward in a new direction defensively.
Am I alone on this?
Does anyone else feel this way and would like to see the Saints offseason to finally get underway?
Honestly I had a great time and enjoyed/appreciated the play of guys like Will Smith, Jonathan Vilma, Roman Harper among others but the time has come like it has for many other franchises to part ways with a lot of these players and look to get younger, cheaper and open up competition across the board to create a sense of venerability at each starting defensive position. That is something that I dont think has truly been involved in this club for a few years now. Im sick of these high priced veteran defenders getting by on either their cap figure, past production or draft status!
Im not just ranting here about Will Smith and Jonathan Vilma either. Im not pulling any punches on any of these guys. Roman Harper, Malcolm Jenkins, Jabari Greer, David Hawthorne, Sedrick Ellis and many others should all be truly evaluated and or possibly released/traded. I understand that some of these guys could still be back and some or even considered cornerstones of the defensive rebuild but in all honestly I just dont feel some of the flaws that these guys possess can be corrected at this point in their career. Whats the old saying, It is what it is.
I guess in a way I consider some of these guys damaged goods as NFL players, like a young quarterback that has taken too many hits it just might be a little too late for them, and its time to move on and cut our losses.
Whats your take?

I'm just as anxious to release all these old, expensive players as I am to hear who the new DC is going to be. The thought of Will Smith possibly being in a Saints uni next season makes me sick. Vilma holds absolutely no value at this point in his career, and if Sedrick Ellis doesn't deserve to be let go then no one does. I don't know if we're waiting to hire a DC before we make all these cuts or what, but if that is the case then I hope removing some of this dead weight is priority #2.

Completely agree!!!
I think it's the loyalty this team has shown in the past to their players that has me feeling, "their not gone till their gone". I guess the way I look at it is that as long as these guys are on the roster, it's still the same old defense but just a different look and that's something we cannot have in 2013.

LIft kit
whut is a good tire and rim setup on a 06 Wrangler with stock suspension. the reason i say that is because i do not want to raise my vehicle i just want nice good off road rims and tires
stock wheels and 31" tires
I had 31x10.5 on stock 15x7 rims without rubing and no steering stop adjustment.
Went with the 31BFG muds with after market 15x8 steel wheels and like the wider stance (less backspace) better, still no rubbing.
However at flex those puppies are stuffed in there, I won't use my quick disconnects until I get a bit more lift.
does anyone have a pic of what it will look like to have 31 tires on a stock suspension?
last year, no mods, 31x10.5 BFG muds with 15x8 steel rims.

Here's a front shot of mine a few years ago. I thought that was pretty sick flex at the time. HA I ran 31's on stock rims with no lift.
wow, i'm so glad i caught this thread. I've got a set of 31x10.5 BFG muds on the way with 15x8 wheels and i was concerned that it would not work with a stock height until i get around to a small lift. Thanks to those of you that posted up your rides with that setup. It looks sick.
One question though, do any of you recommend getting the wider fender flares to help hide the tire because from the online calculators i was using it seems that the tire is going to be about 1.5"-2" further out than stock and i'm wondering how that might look. Or is there another aftermarket fender option that may look better in place of the stock fenders/flares for the 04 TJ's?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: sorry about hijacking the thread
your 31's will clear fine especially since you have new aftermarket wheels on the way...with the new wheels you won't rub unless your offroad flexing...you'll be fine with that setup...and my personal preference is for the tires to stick out past the fender flares...i think it looks mean and good and i like them to stick out but thats just my personal preference...only downside is that it will throw mud and other stuff all over your jeep cause the fender flares won't be there to catch it...but it won't be that much past the flares so it's not a huge deal...i wouldn't get new flares unless your doing a ton offroading (and maybe not even then)
any more pics of stock suspension wranglers with 31 inch tires?
I could take shots of mine, but it's a YJ. They'll go on the TJ. It has more clearance than my YJ does.

Hey Josh, This won't look exactly like yours will because I'm running 35x12.50's on 10 inch wide rims, but here's a pic of how far my tires stick out from my flares right now. I like the wider stance and I don't rub at all on the flares.
Wash that thing, Jack! Looks like you washed yours about when I washed mine last. Can't remember when that was.....
Ha, yeah, that was just after I had let it sit way too long. I think it rained about a week later. It's been getting a regular washing about the past month because we are in Monsoon season here and it rains about twice a week at night. :D
Wrangler Lift
I have a 2006 TJ Sport. I lifted 2.5" and put 31" MXTRUS M/T Tires on it with PROCOMP Alloy 15x8" wheels. Looks perfect !!
ya could fit some 32's easily though :D
oh sorry i meant with the 2.5" lift...the dude said he had a 2.5" lift and 31's and i was saying that he could clear some 32's easily WITH the 2.5" lift...but yes i actually am going in to get my 32's mounted today...it was supposed to be yesterday but fedex only shipped 3 tires...so im goin in today for the 32's...ill let ya know...sorry about the misunderstanding but i meant he could clear the 32's easily with the 2.5" lift
Oh I found what you are talking about. Skeezer made a comment that didn't relate to the questions. I think that would have thrown some people off. Gotta be careful. You'll have someone gettin' the wrong size tires and causin' issues. You probably should quote the poster you are replying to in those situations so that no one gets confused.
ok i'll try from now on...my bad...i tried to a couple of times before but i didn't get how to do it but i'll try it next time

Center for Innovative School Leadership
Development (2004-05)
Emporia State University staff researched the national work done in the school efficiency arena. After data was gathered and a basic concept was developed a meeting was held with the leadership of Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University and Pittsburg State University. The meeting was held on October 20, 2004 in Topeka with the Presidents of all three cooperating institutions and accompanying staff. An update on developmental activities was shared along with the proposed basic concept. The outcomes on the meeting were:
1) Agreement on the Center's concept, and
2) Each university appointed a representative to a development board with the direction to hire a director and implement the Center's concept.
Implementation – Phase I
The representatives from each university were:
Dr. Phillip Bennett, Emporia State University
Dr. Ed Mills, Fort Hays State University
Dr. Howard Smith, Pittsburg State University
Dr. Larry Clark, Emporia State University served as the facilitator of the groups' activities. The first order of business was to hire a director. After screening and interviewing several applicants, Mr. Bill Sailors was recommended to and accepted the position of being the director of CISL.
Implementation – Phase II
In an effort to implement the Center's concept an "Implementation Team" was appointed by each university president. The team members were:
Dr. Larry Clark, Emporia State University
Dr. Jim Murphy, Fort Hays State University
Dr. Howard Smith, Pittsburg State University
The new director was included in implementation activities when possible. The implementation team members and the director worked together to further define and develop CISL's organization and function.
To publicize and market the center, a letter was mailed to all Kansas superintendents. The implementation team and the new director attended the following meetings to inform individuals of CISL's concept and services and to request volunteers for the CISL's efficiency reviews:
KSDE Council of Superintendents (February 9, 2005)
KSDE Dale Dennis (February 17, 2005)
Service Center Directors meeting (April 4)
Drs. Clark and Murphy along with Sailors attended a Fort Hays State Symposium (September 30-31, 2005)
Drs. Clark and Smith along with Sailors attended a Pittsburg State Workshop (May 12, 2005) to discuss the Center's concept and services and to request volunteers for the Center's efficiency reviews.
The Center for Innovative School Leadership (CISL) is located in the Jones Institute for Educational Excellence (JIEE) at Emporia State University. The CISL director's immediate supervisor is the JIEE executive director for day-to-day operations.

For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Immortals is an action/fantasy movie filled with tons of fighting, violence, and blood -- all rendered even more visceral and intense in 3-D. The movie's impressive visuals and costume design are notable, but they're overshadowed by the violence, which is very, very strong, especially once the gods get involved. There's slow-motion bashing of skulls -- several at a time, with flying brain, bone, and blood -- and three young women are the victims of torture, though that particular act isn't shown onscreen (the aftermath is). There's one sex act between the hero and the heroine, with kissing and some nudity. Other movies in this genre, like 300, have been popular, and kids may want to see this, too. But it should only be for the most mature teens.
- Sexual Content
- A sex scene with partial female nudity: Characters kiss, and the man is shirtless, already in bed. Then the woman drops her clothes, and her bottom is visible (close-up). After she lies down, a breast is visible, but in shadow. Another woman appears somewhat naked but covered in makeup, and there's some strong innuendo, including banter surrounding the Oracle's virginity.
- Violence
- The movie starts out with heavy fantasy violence, including sword fighting, stabbing, punching, kicking, and getting pierced with flying arrows. A priest is burned alive, and a man's private parts are smashed with a giant mallet. Then, when the gods get involved, the slayings escalate, including bashed, exploding heads with chunks of skull, brain, and blood flying in all directions -- in slow motion, and in 3-D. Also, three young women are beaten and tortured off screen; viewers see the results, with the women covered in blood and writhing in pain. A mother's throat is cut in front of her son, and a monk cuts off his own tongue in order not to reveal a secret.
- Language
- One use of "bastard" and a few uses of "whore."
- Social Behavior
- The entire movie is about fighting and war. One character speaks of the wisdom of knowing when to fight, but according to this movie, the answer is "all the time."
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Not applicable
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

I have been looking forward to this post for a while.
The 9th was my baby's 1st birthday, Preston is a beautiful happy baby and when I look at him I could burst.
To my baby boy.......
I love the way you to call me each morning with your sleepy chatter
I love your cute little giggle
I love your bright blue eyes and dark brown hair (couldn't possibly say where you get your stunning looks)
I love the way you cling to me
and cry when I leave
and cry with arms raised (for cuddles) when I return
I love bath-time, that you always turn into a splash war with your big brother
and warm towel cuddles afterwards
I watch with pride when you and Harvey play so nicely together
You are my darling baby snuffle-pants
And guess what.............
Happy Birthday Preston
* To make this cake use my chocolate cake recipe and bake in a 20cm round tin on 170 for 30-35mins. Frost all over (when cooled), cut mini swiss rolls in half and stick around the edge then pile a load of candy coated choc on top.
Et Voila......you are done :-)

Repainting Room With Peeling Paint: Advice Needed
1 Attachment(s)
I am planning to repaint my livingroom within the next few weeks. I have some peeling paint that I could use some advice about...or perhaps I should be referring to it as "cracked" paint...I just don't know...
My bungalow style house was built in 1949, and I live in an area with cold winters. The only other time I've painted the livingroom is when I first moved into the house 14 years ago. The paint I had used was a high quality gloss paint. The peeling paint doesn't look like flaky peeling skin. Instead, it resembles large cracks several inches long. No paint has actually fallen off the walls, and the plaster is fine. The cracks began about 2 years ago (so 12 years after I had done the painting). I waited to repaint until now as the cracks were not unsightly when they began (they now are) and I wanted to wait until after I had my roof replaced and had a thorough tuck point job done to rule out those possibilities. I am suspecting that improper insulation (my next project) and cold winters are a culprit as opposed to moisture/water damage or calcimine.
I just moved a table that sits under a window and to my shock, found the paint has severely separated from the wall (now am assuming poorly insulated wall). The plaster is visible and seems in good shape. No water damage or moisture is detectable.
I plan to go across town to the mom and pop paint shop that I used to use.... I'll bring pictures and ask their advice. However, I'd like to ask all of your for your advice as well...
From an inspection of portions of the peeling paint from both the wall that is peeling and the ceiling (tested and thankfully the original layer(s) of paint on the house are lead free), I find it interesting that the layer(s) of paint that are underneath the layer that I painted is so very thin.
I have heard of calcimine being used in some older homes, but I'm not convinced yet that my problem is calcimine because a) I believe calcimine peeling looks more like peeling skin (if that makes sense), and what I'm seeing is large thick cracks of paint (no cracks in the paster) peeling from the walls. and b) the peeling areas seem consistent with extra cold areas of the room. Only 1 wall is peeling and is directly underneath where most of the peeling on the ceiling has occurred. 80% of the celing looks great still, and the other three walls are in beautiful condition.
My questions:
* What is the best way to prepare the surface of my walls and ceiling?
* Unless told differently, I plan to scrape as much of the peeling paint as I can and then sand to form as even a surface as I can and then use a compound to blend any ridges or imperfections as best as I can. What type of compound should I use for that?
* Since I used high gloss paint, should I use a deglosser throughout the room? If brands can be discussed, do you have any recommendations?
* My walls are a deep coral color. I plan to repaint in a dark taupe/tan. I am anticipating that I should prime all 4 walls (though only 1 wall has peeling paint) and the ceiling (has peeling paint). Or is it only necessary to prime those areas that have exposed plaster? If deglossing is recommended, do I do that even if I prime?
* I like high gloss paint. Can I stick with that or is it more prone to cracking?
* I'm assuming I used latex paint previously. I hope I can make that assumption? I've heard of oil and latex primers? Can someone please give me a primer on primers?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
NO time to respond right now but first off ,forget the deglosser.
I will ( or somebody) get back to you this evening:yes:
I do not want to upstage Chris but if the paint has been on for 15 years it may just be aging and the film not capable of adapting to the contraction/expansion of the plaster and humidity changes in room. It may simply be time to paint.
You mentioned it was high gloss and a coral color so my guess is it was a solvent/oil based finish of some kinds, especially if from 15 years ago. There are high gloss latex/acrylic interior paints but usually only in factory mix or lightly tinted colors.
Your prep plan sounds fine. Sanding the room with a pole sander and fine grit paper to dull the gloss will go fast. Scrape and skim coat as you plan. Then, at least spot prime.
Since there is some question as to what paint you used and you seem willing? I would prime first. I think alkyd primers are great equalizers and you can put just about any finish over them. A high bond latex/acrylic primer would be another option but I would put an latex/acrylic finish over it.
Temperature and humidity changes can be extreme here too.
By the way, you might want to update your profile so we know where you are?
I am with Sds except for the oil all the time part.
First- since you painted last- what was the paint you used, oil or latex?
(BTW sds- 15 years ago wasn't the dark ages, they had latex then- lol)
I fix cracks in plaster like this;
Remove anything loose
Along major cracks where there is movement in plaster causing the crack ( you can sometimes see by pushing, or hear by tapping and hear a rattle) I use 1 1/4" sheetrock screws and about every foot or so on both sides "suture" the plaster back on the underlying lathe boards. They are spaced with a 1/2 " between them so you have to hit the wood. SLightly sink the screw head below surface. Takes a touch..
Cover crack with screen tape
I usually use powdered setting mud for the first coat but you could use all purpose joint compound. Set tape and major fills with first coat, fan out a m
bit more with 2 and 3rd coats. Use a 12" mud blade.
Sand smooth.
Prime at least mudded areas, if not all.
look over- you are using a very unforgiving sheen- spot mud/sand prime until perfect!
2 coats of a high quality paint.
Good luck!
Of course terms having to do with sheen and gloss are highly subjective too. It may well be latex semi-gloss.
Thank you for your suggestions...
It is possible that I used a semi-gloss paint though it does appear quite glossy to my untrained eye. Whatever particular paint I used, I am certain that I used the best quality paint the store offered as that's standard for me. I brought photos and samples of the peeling paint to my preferred paint store, and the pro I spoke with seemed to know without a doubt that what I had used was a latex paint. I referred to it as glossy and he didn't correct me on that, but it's certainly possible that it could have been a semi-gloss.
Whether I used a semi-gloss or something even glossier, he showed me swatches that demonstrated the difference between finishes and he convinced me of the horrors in staying with something more glossy as it is much less forgiving of imperfections. However, considering I last painted 14 years ago, I am pleased with how well the paint did hold up aesthetically considering everything. This time around, I'll be going with the top Benjamin Moore latex in eggshell, and I'm going to keep good records of the exact paint that I use so that I won't be guessing in the future as I am now.
Based on my particular situation, the paint shop pro suggested I prep my walls in this order:
I peeled yesterday, but plan to go over again today to make sure I didn't miss any leftover loose paint. Being thorough is important to me. If I accidentally overlook a small amount of loose paint, say on an edge of one of the spots, is it a sure thing that it will start peeling up in a couple years or will the steps that I'm taking above dramatically minimize that risk?
After peeling and getting a better look at the plaster, I am thrilled that all my plaster seems in great condition with only a couple hairline cracks.
I welcome any other suggestions or input.
I will add this, you are going to get a better looking finish( especially after patching) by priming the whole wall. If you were painting flat, you would not have to do that but with anything else, the patched part is going to flash:yes:

Drew Tate's status for an upcoming game against the Montreal Alouettes remained unclear, as the Calgary Stampeders quarterback didn't throw the football in practice for a second straight day.
Tate was diagnosed with a strained forearm muscle in his throwing arm on the weekend. He did not finish last Friday's 36-21 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, leaving with about five minutes remaining in the game.
The Alouettes host Calgary on Friday.
Tate was on the field for practices Monday and Tuesday, but backup Kevin Glenn took snaps both days. Tate continued to practise footwork and simulate a throwing action without the football Tuesday.
"It's still sore," Stampeder coach and general manager John Hufnagel said of his quarterback's arm. "Nothing has improved to a point where he can throw yet.
"If he's throwing the ball tomorrow effectively, then he'll play."
Calgary and Montreal both opened the season 1-1.
Tate said he felt less pain in his arm than he had the previous day.
"Still day-to-day, I guess," the 27-year-old said. "That's all I can do. Wake up every morning, hope it feels better, get some treatment and come out here and have a good practice."Report Typo/Error

hope that by now all Blog readers have managed to slip the word "redakted" into a normal conversation, as recommended here during NPRA. It's now time to banish some of the obsolete chemical buzz words of 2007. Top words which are now heading for their sell-by date must be: work/life balance, forward curve, learning curve, value chain, robustness, thought leadership. Use them at your peril. My colleague Linda is still aghast at "blue sky thinking", but I think that harks back to circa 2006.

Last year's buzz words are banished
Chemical Heritage Foundation exec in the news
An executive at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, US was in the news this week for re-enlisting in the US Army at the age of 55. Specialist Neil Gussman, now nicknamed "Hollywood" by his pals, was spotted in an article in LancasterOnline.com and sent in to the Blog by my colleagues Ivan and Joe in the New York office of ICIS Chemical Business.
Oil industry execs stick heads in sand – official
A report released by KPMG LLP's Global Energy Institute on Friday said a majority of oil and gas executives interviewed did not believe global warming was caused by carbon dioxide emission. A huge 62% of these executives believe that it was just a natural phenomenon while 9% believe the world isn't getting hotter.
Hip words for conference meetings
When you find "thinking outside the box", "joined-up strategy" and "ownership of actions", where do you turn for the latest jargon to show your colleagues you are at the cutting edge of corporate speak? The Blog's favourite from this week's meetings at NPRA was "redacted" – meaning "edited out" or "removed". Use in sentences like: "I have read the redacted report," or "In the redacted meeting minutes …"
Cell phones linked to lower sperm count
Are you setting off to NPRA with yours clipped to your ear, slung on your hip or tucked away in your jack sack? Do you take part in the synchronised switching on of cell phones as soon as your plane has landed? Does your cell phone accompany you to the bathroom and bedroom, and vibrate comfortingly throughout every meeting?… new research shows that male heavy cell phone use is linked to significantly lower sperm counts.
More office time for smokers
If the outdoor cigarette break is now a regular feature of your corporate life, you can look forward to the new "snack size" compact cigarette which tobacco giant Philip Morris is about to launch… Marlboro Intense.

I was removing the trim on the drivers side footwell last night and I noticed this green connector disconnected. Does anyone know what this is used for?
I'm not sure if got disconnected when I pulled the trim off or maybe when I installed the power cable for my stereo back in the summer. I also have an aftermarket alarm so its possible someone else also unplugged it.
From what I can tell everything in the car is working.
