Route 4 ran on Mondays to Fridays between Finsbury Park Station and Surrey Docks Station via Highbury Barn, Highbury, Islington, Aldersgate, St Paul's, Ludgate Circus, Blackfriars Bridge, Elephant & Castle, New Kent Road and Bermondsey. It was withdrawn in 1966.
The route number 4 was reintroduced in 1971 as a renumbering of the 4A and ran on Mondays to Saturdays between Tufnell Park (Monnery Road) and Farringdon Street via Holloway, Finsbury Park, Highbury Barn, Highbury, Islington, Barbican and St. Paul's, extended on Mondays to Fridays to Waterloo Station via Aldwych. In 1978 the Saturday service was also extended to Waterloo. In 1981 it was extended from Tufnell Park to Archway Station via Dartmouth Park Hill. In 1982 the service between Farringdon Street and Waterloo was reduced to Monday to Friday peak hours only although it was reinstated at all times on Mondays to Fridays in 1984, and at the same time the service beyond Finsbury Park to Archway was reduced to just garage journeys, with the 19 covering this section. It was converted to one-man-operation in 1985 and was again extended to Archway Station. In 1986 the Saturday service was again extended to Waterloo. In 1991 a Sunday service was introduced between Archway Station and Islington (Angel). This was one of the few routes operated by London Suburban Buses in the early days of tendering.
Route 68 ran daily between Chalk Farm Station and South Croydon via Camden Town, Euston, Russell Square, Aldwych, Waterloo, Elephant & Castle, Camberwell Green, Denmark Hill, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, West Norwood, Upper Norwood, Thornton Heath and West Croydon. It was extended to South Croydon Garage in 1957. In 1986 it was withdrawn on Mondays to Saturdays between Euston Station and Chalk Farm. In 1996 the Sunday service was withdrawn between Euston and Chalk Farm, and it was also cut back from South Croydon to Norwood Garage.
A timetable booklet for new route 4 dated 4 September 1971. Its eight pages contain details of the route changes, a full timetable and diagrammatic map of the new route and the routes replaced on the centre page.
This plate could have come from either version of route 4; however, if it came from the newer 4 it would have been from the stretch between St. Paul's and Waterloo from 1971 to 1978, or between Farringdon Street and Waterloo in 1984–1986.
This "E" plate likely came from the vicinity of Aldwych where routes 4 and 68 ran together for a short way.
This plate must have been made for the earlier route 4A, as the term WEEKDAY was generally used to mean Monday to Saturday. It became ambiguous as more people no longer had to work on Saturdays, and "Weekday" could also have been taken to mean Monday to Friday, which was why London Transport later spelt out the days as either MON-FRI or MON-SAT.
This "E" plate is from the second incarnation of the 4A, as the original route did not have any Monday to Friday only sections.
This plate likely came from the vicinity of Aldwych where routes 4A and 68 ran together for a short way.
Until 1957 Route 4A ran daily between Finsbury Park and Elephant & Castle via Highbury, Islington, St. Paul's, Ludgate Circus and Blackfriars. It was extended on Mondays to Saturdays to Clapham Common via Camberwell and Brixton. The Sunday service was withdrawn in 1957, and the route was withdrawn completely in August 1958. A subsequent Route 4A was introduced in 1961 between Finsbury Park and Waterloo via Highbury, Islington, St. Paul's, Ludgate Circus, Fleet Street and Aldwych running on Mondays to Fridays only, and this service was renumbered 4 in September 1971.
Route 68 is described above.
During November 1953, buses ran between Shepherd's Bush Green (Roseford Gardens) and Ladbroke Grove (St. Charles Square) via Holland Park Avenue, Royal Crescent, St Annes Road, Mortimer Square, Latimer Road, Bramley Road and Lancaster Road on Mondays to Saturdays, with this route being withdrawn on 19 May 1954.
In November 1959, route 5 was back, this time as a replacement for trolleybus routes 567 and 665 between Clerkenwell Green and Barking Garage, via Old Street, Commercial Street, Aldgate East, Stepney East, Limehouse, Poplar, Canning Town, Plaistow, Barking Road, East Ham and Barking. In October 1961, the Monday to Saturday service was extended from Barking Garage to Becontree (Chittys Lane) via Bennetts Castle Lane, replacing the withdrawn section of service on route 238 (which was diverted to Little Heath), and also extended daily from Clerkenwell Green to Bloomsbury. In May 1962, route 5's Sunday service was extended from Barking Garage to Becontree via Becontree Avenue and renumbered route 5B, and in August of the same year, the Monday to Friday service was withdrawn between East Ham and Becontree and diverted at East Ham to the White Horse. The Saturday service was also withdrawn between Barking Garage and Becontree and renumbered route 5B. In September 1968, the Monday to Friday service was withdrawn between Clerkenwell Green and Bloomsbury, and the Saturday service introduced between Clerkenwell Green and East Ham partly replaced route 5C which was withdrawn. The Sunday service was introduced between Bloomsbury and Poplar with early morning journeys extended to East Ham. This partly replaced withdrawn route 5B. It was converted to one-man operation in 1971. In 1978, the route was revised to run daily between Bloomsbury and East Ham (White Horse). In January 1981 the 5 was extended daily from Bloomsbury to Waterloo Station via Kingsway and Aldwych (over route 68). In April the service was yet again extended daily from East Ham to Becontree Heath via Barking and Longbridge Road, replacing withdrawn route 23. It was also one of the few routes reconverted to Routemaster operation on Mondays to Saturdays. In October it was rerouted at Shoreditch via Liverpool Street over route 78 to Aldgate instead of via Commercial Street. In September the following year route 5 was withdrawn on eveings and weekends between Old Street and Waterloo, and the Sunday service became crew operated. It again received one-man vehicles in 1985. In March 1989, the 5 was withdrawn between Old Street and Waterloo except for early journeys to Holborn Station on Mondays to Saturdays (replaced by new Red Arrow route 505). Various changes occurred during April 1990, including the Monday-Saturday service withdrawn between Poplar and Old Street/Holborn (partly replaced by new route D3) and introduced instead between Canning Town and Becontree Heath replacing withdrawn section of route D5. The Sunday service between Canning Town and Old Street was withdrawn after the market closed. In September 1999 the Sunday extension from Canning Town to Old Street was withdrawn, with buses running nowadays between Becontree Heath and Canning Town Station. At the end of March 2006 the 5 was extended from Becontree Heath to Romford to replace route 87. As can be seen by the preceding history, there have been many changes to route 5, along with its variants 5A, 5B and 5C.
This bus stop notice dates from March 1981, when the 5 replaced part of route 23. Despite the illustration of a Leyland National, after the change the 5 was worked by Routemasters on Mondays to Fridays, and Titans and DMSs on Sundays.
Although the lettering on "E" plates was never entirely consistent, the number 5 is somewhat bolder than normal on this plate.
I cannot place exactly where the Sunday "E" plates came from. Suffice to say they are more unusual than the weekday versions.
The FARE STAGE "E" plate is rather unusual since it is a red Sunday plate with FARE STAGE shown in black.
Route 5B was introduced in 1962, running on Sundays only between Bloomsbury and Becontree (Chittys Lane) via Clerkenwell Green, Old Street, Commercial Street, Stepney East, Limehouse, Poplar, Canning Town, Plaistow, Upton Park, East Ham, Barking and Becontree Avenue, replacing the Sunday service on route 5. Later that year it was also introduced on Saturdays between Bloomsbury and Barking Garage. In 1965 the Saturday service was withdrawn and replaced by new route 5C. In 1966 the 5B was extended to Becontree Heath. The route was withdrawn in 1968.
The 5B was relatively short-lived, running for just six years, but an even shorter time running on Saturdays and Sundays only from 1962 until 1965. Thus, this is a very rare "E" plate to find.
Route 5C ran between Bloomsbury (Red Lion Square) and Becontree Heath via Clerkenwell Green, Old Street, Commercial Street, Stepney, Limehouse, Poplar, Canning Town, Plaistow, Upton Park, East Ham, Barking, Becontree Avenue, Becontree and Green Lane. It began operating in January 1965 when the 5B service was diverted on Saturdays, at Becontree via Bennetts Castle Lane, and renumbered. It was replaced in September 1968 after only 31⁄2 years of operation when the 5 was reintroduced on Saturday.
The short life span of route 5C accounts for its excellent condition. There were likely very few FARE STAGE plates made for this route.
The pattern of weathering on this "E" plate attests that it was used for route 6, not the 9.
The existence of this plate suggests that there was a scheduled short service for the 6. My guess is that this plate would have been posted in the vicinty of Edgware Road (Met.) station to differentiate from the regular buses running through to Kensal Rise.
Plates with the wording SPECIAL JOURNEYS ONLY are usually rather rare as they were designed for specific stops
|◀ This "E" plate is an extremely rare one as it might have come from just a single bus stop where there was a curtailment point, and it could well have come from the stop at Kensal Rise Station to draw attention to the fact that some buses did not serve the stop when they were running through from Willesden Garage.
Routes 6 and 11 are two of London's oldest and most well-known routes, and their history goes back to the start of motor-buses in around 1910. They also hung on to their Routemasters until relatively recently. Route 6 ran between Hackney Wick and Kensal Rise Station via Well Street, Hackney, Cambridge Heath, Hackney Road, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, Bank, St Paul's, Fleet Street, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, Marble Arch, Edgware Road, Warwick Avenue, The Chippenham and West Kilburn. A Monday to Saturday peak hours extension ran from Hackney Wick to Leyton Town Hall via Ruckholt Road. Willesden Garage journeys continued on from Kensal Rise via Staverton Road and Brondesbury Park. In 1964 Saturday service was withdrawn and replaced by new route 6B and regular service on the 6A. In 1966 Saturday service was reintroduced between Hackney Wick and Warwick Avenue Station. In 1968 Saturday service was extended from Warwick Avenue to Kensal Rise but withdrawn between Aldwych and Hackney Wick. (The latter was replaced by increased service on the 6A.) In 1969 the 6 was withdrawn between Hackney Wick and Leyton Town Hall. In 1970 Saturday service was re-introduced between Aldwych and Hackney Wick, but operation was split into two overlapping sections: Hackney Wick to Oxford Circus and Aldwych to Kensal Rise, replacing the withdrawn 6A. In 1973 Saturday through service was re-introduced. In 1992 the Aldwych to Hackney Wick section was replaced by new route 26. In 2005 it was extended from Aldwych to Willesden Garage via Kensal Rise, Chamberlayne Road, Donnington Road and Pound Lane.
A more detailed history of routes 6, 11, 15 and 18 can be found in Kenneth Warren's book, The Motorbus in Central London (Ian Allan, 1986; ISBN 0 7110 1568 6).
Route 11 ran daily between Liverpool Street and Shepherd's Bush via Bank, St. Paul's, Ludgate Circus, Strand, Trafalgar Square, Westminster, Victoria, Sloane Square, Chelsea, Fulham Broadway and Hammersmith. In 1970 it was withdrawn between Hammersmith (Brook Green) and Shepherd's Bush, and in 1983 further cut back to Hammersmith Broadway. In 1986 it was re-extended to Shepherd's Bush on Mondays to Saturdays except evenings, but cut back again in 1992 when it terminated at Hammersmith (Bus Station). In 1993 it was withdrawn between Fulham Broadway and Hammersmith and replaced by route 211 over this section. In 2003 it was converted to one-man-operation.
These two plates came from stops over the common section of routes 6 and 11 between Trafalgar Square and Bank where the two routes traversed the same ground. Note that the two 1s are much closer together on the second plate. These variations add to the interest of collecting "E" plates.
Back in November 1949, route 15 ran from Kew Green (Sundays), via Kew Bridge, Gunnersbury Lane, Acton, Acton Vale, East Acton, Wormwood Scrubs, Barlby Road, St Marks Road, and Ladbroke Grove (Mondays to Saturdays), extended via Westbourne Grove, Paddington, Marble Arch, Oxford Street, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Aldwych, Fleet Street, St Pauls, Bank, Aldgate, Stepney, Limehouse and Poplar (Monday to Friday mid-days), being further extended via Canning Town, Plaistow and Upton Park to East Ham White Horse during Monday to Friday peaks and evenings, Saturdays and Sundays. On Sundays, buses operated in two sections: East Ham & East Acton or Aldgate & Acton—Kew Green. In connection with the Trolleybus Replacement Programme, route 15 was extended daily from Poplar to East Ham. During January 1967, journeys to Kensal Rise were introduced as a result of the Ladbroke Grove canteen closure, and in October 1969, the route was suspended between Acton and Kew Green for the winter months, being reinstated in 1970, with this continuing for future years. In May 1975, the Sunday service was rerouted at Kew Road to Richmond Bus Station. This extension was all through the year instead of just seasonal. In May 1985, the route was diverted between St. Paul's and Aldgate via Cannon Street and Tower of London. In June 1987, the Sunday service was withdrawn between East Acton & Ladbroke Grove and converted to one-person-operation on Sundays. During March 1991, route 15 was extended to the Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury's. During July 1992, the Monday to Saturday service was withdrawn between Ladbroke Grove and Paddington, being replaced by new route 23. May 1993 brought the withdrawal of service between Paddington and Ladbroke Grove, and in September 1999, route 15 was withdrawn between Poplar and Canning Town, with buses diverting from East India Dock Road to Blackwall DLR Station via Cotton Street. During August 2003, route 15 was withdrawn between Blackwall and East Ham, and is running nowadays between Paddington and Blackwall Station. Of course, the 15 is now one of just two routes in London that continue to use Routemasters, and this "heritage" route 15 runs between Trafalgar Square and Tower of London.
London General Omnibus Company route 23 ran weekdays between Rainham and Marylebone Station. London Transport introduced a Sunday extension to Aldgate. In November 1947 the route ran between Becontree Heath and Marylebone via Longbridge Road, Barking, East Ham, Upton Park and Plaistow (Monday to Saturday evenings), extended via Canning Town, Poplar, Limehouse, Stepney, Commercial Road, Aldgate, Bank, Holborn, Oxford Circus and Baker Street Mondays to Saturdays except evenings. From 1959 it was extended to Aldgate during evenings. In September 1968 route 23 was withdrawn between Aldgate and Marylebone, but introduced on Sundays to replace a withdrawn section on route 9. During October 1970, some Monday to Friday morning journeys were projected from Aldgate to Bank. In 1977 the Monday to Friday peak hour service was extended from Aldgate to Farringdon Street via route 15. But just four years later, in January 1981, the peak hour service via Bank to Farringdon Street was withdrawn, and the whole Monday to Saturday service was extended from Aldgate to Oxford Circus via Tower, St Paul's, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. Then from April of that year the service was completely revamped to run daily between East Ham and Ladbroke Grove. In May 1985, this service was renumbered route 15.
Routes 6 and 18 ran together past St. Paul's and along Ludgate Hill, which is the likely origin of this "E" plate. It would not have come from Harrow Road, as the 18 operated past that point daily and the 6 only served Paddington Green with Special Journeys.
Route 18 ran between Wembley (Empire Pool) and Edgware Station via Sudbury, Harrow, Wealdstone, Belmont and Canons Park. Some Monday to Friday rush hour journeys were extended to Aldenham Works. It was also extended on Sundays from Wembley to London Bridge Station via Stonebridge Park, Craven Park, Harlesden, Kensal Green, Harrow Road, Paddington Green, Marylebone Road, Euston, King's Cross, Grays Inn Road, Holborn Circus, Ludgate Circus and Southwark Bridge. In 1962 the extension to London Bridge became daily, replacing route 18B and trolleybus route 662. In 1966 the Sunday service was withdrawn between Paddington Green and London Bridge, but in 1969 it was extended as far as Baker Street Station. In 1970 the 18 was withdrawn between Sudbury and Edgware/Aldenham and replaced by new route 182. In 1982 it was withdrawn on Saturdays between King's Cross and London Bridge. In 1985 it was withdrawn between Farringdon Street and London Bridge and replaced by new route 17. In 1986 the 18 was converted to one-man-operation and revised to run from Sudbury to Baker Street Station daily, extended to Euston Station on Sunday afternoons, to King's Cross on Mondays to Saturdays and to Farringdon Street during Monday to Friday peak hours. In 1991 it was withdrawn between King's Cross and Farringdon Street. In 1992 the Sunday afternoon extension to Euston was cut back to Baker Street. In 1995 it was revised to run daily beyond Baker Street Station to Euston Station. In 2003 the 18 was converted to articulated bus operation. It was one of the earliest London bus routes to be operated by bendy-buses on the Pay-Before-You-Board principle.
Route 59 was a long-standing Sunday-only route that ran all the way from West Hampstead (West End Green) to Chipstead Valley via St John's Wood, Baker Street, Wigmore Street, Cavendish Square, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Westminster, Lambeth Bridge, Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Norbury, Thornton Heath, London Road, West Croydon, Croydon, South Croydon, Purley and Coulsdon. In 1978 it was withdrawn and replaced by routes 159 and 190. The 59 was worked from Croydon [TC], Streatham [AK] and Thornton Heath [TH] garages.
This plate would have come from a stop along Oxford or Regent Streets, but it is a rather unusual combination of routes as it was more common to combine routes which ran parallel for a longer section. It is a highly desirable variation as it contains two routes in different colours.
Route 6A ran during Monday to Saturday rush hours between Waterloo Station and Leyton (Town Hall) via Aldwych, Fleet Street, St. Paul's, Bank, Shoreditch, Hackney Road, Cambridge Heath, Hackney, Well Street, Hackney Wick and Ruckholt Road. In 1964 the service between Waterloo and Hackney Wick was increased to run all day. In December 1966 the Monday to Friday service was reduced to rush hours only, and the Saturday service was revised to run only during the morning between Waterloo and St. Paul's. In November 1967 the Saturday service was changed to terminate at Farringdon Street instead of St. Paul's. In September 1968 the Monday to Friday service was withdrawn, and the remaining Saturday service revised to run between Marylebone Station and Hackney Wick via Baker Street, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Aldwych, Fleet Street, St. Paul's, Bank, Liverpool Street, Shoreditch, Hackney Road, Cambridge Heath, Hackney and Well Street. An all-day service was provided, except between Marylebone Station and Oxford Circus which did not run during the evening. The 6A was withdrawn completely in January 1970.
This "E" plate would have come from a stop between Aldwych and Hackney Wick between September 1968 and January 1970, and thus was in use for a very short time, accounting for its exceptionally good condition. Split plates are always scarcer, and this example shows one of the few Saturday-only routes. It is also the only one that I can recall seeing that has a red dividing line between the two routes.

Still alive and waving at TD :-)
Well, so as you do not think I am dead, let's show what I am hacking on right now.
Of course, the night after I told here 'come see my web server', I suffer a hard drive failure on the said server...
It should be back in order now :-)
Well, back from the holidays at my parents'. Fortunately, I had my iPAQ to do some Linux hacking :-) (I only used the Win98 box to run the VNCViewer on it).
I did what I planned to do for a long time : rewrite my Book database from C to Python. You can find the results here. The database is still a bit slow as the Python script is stand-alone (ie not using any mod_python) and is not pre-compiled (I execute directly the .py, not a small .py that would import the big .pyc files).
BTW, I am using Mozilla 0.6 for two weeks now, and it crashed less often than Netscape 4.x (but well, the UI is still slow).
And, of course, Merry Christmas to everybody :-)
Ok, finished Monkey Island 3. It's the first game I entirely played in Wine (from the install to the playing, everything). So I now started Monkey 4 :-)
So see you in about two weeks when I will have finished it for more hacking news :-)

tree well death on Big Mtn + tree well safety
this happened last week but i did not hear about it til today...
this was right in a small area of tight trees and all these rocks and mini chutes, it's my go to spot that i hit pretty much everytime i go up, fuck
Good lord. I feel so bad for that kid. No one should ever have to find anyone that way. RIP to that guy as well.
That's horrible. Hate it for that kid. :(
earlier in the season when it was deep i would go though that area 3-4 runs a day. my kid (also 14) did get into a well back there, but he was rightside up (chest deep though) and i was only 15ft away. he had to dig down to his bindings and unclip both feet, took him 15 mins to get out...now we both have whistles and stay is sight of eachother, but still, anything could happen. i heard this story in the liftline today and just felt so damn bad about it i did one more run and just left
1 Attachment(s)
Condolences to the family.
I'd suggest rig a loop on the ratchets if ur riding deep and in treewells hazards...all of my bindings now have it, very easy and cheap...0.25 cents. Of course not a guarantee but it helps and really no downside.
trying to wrap my head around that wrathful...both the black wire and the cord? you just pull and your straps will pop?
Its just the red cord...I use a 3/8" stiffer cord so that the cord stands up...iirc 8-9" total lengh...but its easy and you just need enough slack to be able to put the ratchets on the ladders. I've had no problem with the loop catching an anything. One pair I drilled a small hole, the others I just looped and wired (copper) wrapped the loop (no drilling the ratchet tabs). When doing laps its super easy to release and its a bit easier at the top of the chair. I've read that a few folks will even run another length of cord up their pants leg...so they can release their board if caught in an avy.
Wrath, that's a really interesting mod. Have you given a little thought to doing a more in depth DIY post for that one? :thumbsup:
yeah, seems a good idea...maybe some close-up pics....thinking i should do it though, like you say, no downside

Gas Furnace - Only First Two Burners Fire (Video Included)
This is an intermittent problem:
The York "Stellar" gas furnace operates most of the time, but once or twice per day now it will not 'fire' all the way. I pulled the cover off and took a video and caught the problem: only the first two burners are igniting/firing.
Here is a link to the ~25 second video of the problem:
This has been happening for the past few days. Initially thought it was the thermostat but replaced that and problem persisted. The furnace works fine most of the day but then we'll walk by the thermostat and it will be a few degrees lower. Turning the furnace power on and off usually fixes it temporarily.
Would cutting off the gas/power, removing the burner cover and then cleaning out the burner tubes be a likely solution?
i know what it is
Blocked Burners.
Pull them and clean them.
Good Luck.
Brian Martin.
Ugh - broken pipe!
So, figuring it was clogged burners, I carefully started to remove the cover. Prior to this I had noticed that there was a bolt sticking out of the cover with it's nut not fully tightened (not even close, it was about an inch away, just a few threads in). I remember noticing this whenever I'd change filters. Turns out it was the culprit - it's purpose is to hold the small diameter pipe that sits above the burners and I presume distribute gas. Because it was loose, it literally broke in two. Before I removed the cover I felt the bolt and it was just sliding in and out easily. Once I removed the cover, there was half the pipe just laying there. See the pic:
Looks to be a dangerous situation, so I will be leaving the unit as is and not powering it back up. I called a service tech and they'll be out tomorrow morning. Hopefully they'll have the part/can order it and it won't cost me an arm and a leg : (
Incidentally, I distinctly remember the last time I had it serviced (about 2 summers ago) the tech had trouble getting the cover back on and he left this bolt loose. Should have known...
That pipe is called a flame runner/crossover tube and it is absolutley necessary to carry the flame/gas over to lite the burners. You have a VERY dangerous situation without it and the furnace cannot be used that way or you will get a huge backfire/delayed ignition and flame rollout. Hopefully it is not obsolete but I would be prepared for that scenario due to its age. Sorry.:(
Thanks Yuri.
Yeah, as soon as I looked and saw that broken pipe I knew it was dangerous. I'm fortunate to have found it when I did and not have any issues prior. Thinking about it further, the pipe is broken right at the 2nd burner. The first and 2nd burners are the only ones working, so the broken crossover was the cause all along.
I've cut the gas and power to the furnace. An HVAC tech is scheduled to be here tomorrow morning between 8 and 12. I warned the wife already that there will be no heat tonight and likely not for a week if:
a. A replacement part has to be ordered
b. A new furnace has to be ordered and installed
Horrible timing for me...:(
Looks about 15-20 yrs old to me. Going to be more expensive repairs in the future/circuit board and exhaust fan so you need to decide whether the $$ are worth investing in a new unit or delaying the ineveitable with this one.
I spoke with a relative over the phone tonight. He is not an HVAC tech but has an HVAC license and has done that work in the past. I sent him some pics and he says that getting a replacement pipe should be no problem, and worst-case simply getting a coupling to reattach the broken pipe would work fine.
I'll update this thread with the outcome of what the tech that comes tomorrow morning says.
A final update to close out this thread.
I'm happy to report that the furnace has been working since Saturday morning. I disconnected the crossover tube and brought it to a relative's workshop, where he had a welder weld it back together. I reinstalled it into the system and the heat has been working fine since.
That said, since the furnace is 23 years old and I don't want to have to troubleshoot/repair it myself (since the local HVAC techs apparently don't know/don't want to deal with welding), I'm looking into getting it replaced. Will start a new thread on that topic : )
Glad you got it working and yeah it is at the end of its practical useful life and is going to keep breaking down and be a $$ repair pit and unreliable. York makes a good product and that one did well for you.
Mark, judging from your posts and well thought out solution, have you considered replacing the furnace yourself? Lots of money to be saved if you do but warranty can be an issue for DIY'ers.:yes:
I have. And a close relative is a licensed HVAC tech (has the license, but is in an electrician by trade and only got the license because his employer paid for him to take the test if he wanted to).
He's offered to install (and purchase on my behalf a Goodman unit that he can get for pretty cheap), but the guy has helped me out so many times due to emergencies like this heater breakdown that I just don't want to burden him even more. As for me - I'm not very handy. I attempt lots of stuff and am eventually successful, but it always takes longer than it should. And I struggle.
So I'm leaning towards paying for a new unit/install by a pro, but am considering having my relative do it if he still wants to.
One thing that came up from the salesman during the recent estimates I got for a replacement - they all said that the newer furnaces are much shorter and that my air conditioning unit, made by ICP, is a wierd size/width so they'll have to fashion a new connection/duct to match them. Also they were mostly all unanimous that my 'return drop' is undersized. Little things like that, that neither I or my relative would know, would likely throw a monkey wrench into trying to DIY this job.

Amanita (Japanese: ショウロ Shōro) is the storage system creator of the Unova region, who lives in Striaton City. She is an expert in computing, creating a Pokémon Storage System that succeeded Bebe's storage system.
In the games
Amanita was introduced in Generation V as the Pokémon Storage System creator living in Striaton City in the Unova region. It was she who developed Unova's storage system based on the previous designs of Bill, Lanette and Bebe.
In Black and White, the player first meets her in Striaton City where she gives the player a Box which can be accessed in the player's PC. She also tells the player about a new feature called the Battle Box which can be used to store the player's Pokémon for battle.
She has the player start out with 8 Boxes capable of holding 240 Pokémon. When all 8 Boxes have at least one Pokémon in them, the storage capacity will be increased to 16 Boxes, holding 480 Pokémon. When all 16 of those Boxes have at least one Pokémon in them, the capacity will be increased again to a maximum of 24 Boxes, holding 720 Pokémon.
In Black 2 and White 2, Amanita is found in Castelia City, along with Fennel. They are located on the third floor inside the building across the street from the Gym. After the player has entered the Hall of Fame, Amanita will give the player an Eevee she received from a friend in the Kanto region.

At Striaton City
- "Are you a Trainer? Do you use the PC at Pokémon Centers? I am Amanita. I maintain the Box system. Do you know about the Battle Box?
- No: "Let me give you a quick how-to! If there's a Pokémon you use often in your battles, you can register it in the Battle Box!"
- Yes: "Impressive! If there's a Pokémon you use often in your battles, you can register it in the Battle Box!"
- "Please do use the Battle Box. You can register Pokémon in the PC over there, too!"
At Castelia City
- Before entering the Hall of Fame
- "Are you a Trainer? Do you use the PC at Pokémon Centers? I am Amanita. I maintain the Box system. Oh! You have a Pal Pad, I see! You can register your friends in your Pal Pad. After you register, you can link with those friends over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to do all kinds of fun things! You can trade Pokémon, challenge your friends to a battle, and so on. Let me give you a quick how-to on registering your friends. You can either input your friend's code directly by using your Pal Pad... Or you can use the IR Connection feature of the C-Gear. Then you can register your friend!"
- "Is there something you'd like to ask me?"
- Box: "You can store up to 30 Pokémon you caught in one Box. At first, there are only eight Boxes, but as you store more Pokémon, the number of Boxes increases!"
- Battle Box: "In the Battle Box, you can register one to six Pokémon that you often use in battles. When you battle using Infrared Connection, you can also battle with the Pokémon in the Battle Box! It's convenient because you don't have to move Pokémon around!"
- Pal Pad: "In order to register you friend in your Pal Pad... You can either input your friend's code directly by using your Pal Pad in the Key Item case... Or you can use the IR Connection feature of the C-Gear. Then you can register your friend!"
- "Catch a lot of Pokémon, and use the Boxes a lot!"
- After entering the Hall of Fame
- "Oh! How are the Boxes working? Hey, that's right! I have a bunch of Eevee! Would you take one for me?
- No: "How disappointing. Well, if you change your mind, please come talk to me again!"
- Yes, but no room: "Oh! Your party is full! The PC Boxes were designed for situations just like this!"
- Yes: "This is an Eevee I received from my friend in the Kanto region!"
- "Eevee is an amazing Pokémon that has many potential evolutions!"
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Amanita appears in Battle in the Dreamyard as the assistant of Fennel. She shows Black her research project, dreams. Later, she accompanies him along with White to the Dreamyard to find his Munna, Musha, that was stolen by Team Plasma.
| This Watchog was used by Team Plasma to steal Black's Munna, Musha. Eventually, Black manages to retrieve Musha and uses him to defeat the Watchog. Later, it was adopted by Amanita and Fennel.
None of Watchog's moves are known.
|Battle at the Dreamyard
- Amanita states the Eevee given to her in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 was from a friend in the Kanto region. This person is most likely Bill, as he gives an Eevee to the main character in Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, along with giving one to Bebe (who then gives it to the player) in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Im not into animal prints and aren't that keen on animal prints on dresses. Looks a tad tacky.
I wore this dress in emerald to prom last year and it was absolutely gorgeous! These pictures don't do the dress justice! I definitely recommend buying this dress if you want to make a bold statement!

Jobless claims – which serve as a proxy for layoffs — are once again trending near a seven-year low. Before the Great Recession, weekly applications for unemployment benefits averaged approximately 320,000 due to the normal churn of the labor market, and for a majority of 2014, claims have come in near that level. In the week ended July 5, the number Americans filing initial applications for unemployment benefits decreased by 11,000 to 304,000 — a level hit only rarely in the past five post-recession years. Declining jobless claims highlight the fact that emerging unemployment is returning to acceptable levels. Or, in other words, fewer Americans are being laid off, even if the nation's long-term unemployment level remains elevated and employers still do not have the confidence to significantly boost hiring. But while jobless claims have never stabilized below the key benchmark level of 300,000, the generally downward course charted by application numbers is evidence of ongoing healing in the labor market.
Other evidence of labor market strength came in the form of the Department of Labor's four-week moving average. Jobless claims provide the first look at the employment situation for any given month, but since the weekly figures can be volatile, economists use the four-week moving average to understand wider trends in employment, which are far more telling of labor market health than weekly readings. Alongside the drop in weekly jobless claims, the moving average fell to 311,500 from the previous week's 315,000.
However, the number of workers continuing to draw unemployment benefits jumped, climbing 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 2.58 million in the week ended June 28. Continuing claims — reported with a one-week lag — have fallen by more than 400,000 over the past twelve months.
And "the declining trend in claims is very encouraging, and is further evidence that the strong payrolls number we saw for June is not a fluke," Moody's Analytics senior economist Ryan Sweet told Bloomberg, the labor market is gaining momentum. This is consistent with strong gains in consumer spending." In May, the most recently available data, American consumers spent cautiously despite stronger income growth, with personal expenditures rising 0.2 percent. Meanwhile, June's retail sales report from the Department of Commerce — another gauge of consumer spending — rose less than forecast in June. More broadly, poor employment gains spell larger problems for the U.S. economy. The relationship between business spending, job creation, and consumer spending is a close one. U.S. businesses do not want to increase labor costs unless they are consumers will spend money on the goods and services they produce. But consumers who are not confident about their job prospects are not likely to spend beyond everyday necessities. But while consumer spending data from the past several months has not been noteworthy, the longer-term trends have been stronger.

Major players in Australia's sports supplement industry have welcomed additional scrutiny of their operations but warned athletes remain at risk from a glut of unregulated, imported products that have flooded the market.
Their comments come in the wake of the Australian Crime Commission alleging drug use and match-fixing are rife in domestic sporting codes.
Many sports supplement suppliers have commercial relationships with clubs and individual players, giving cause for the ACC to pinpoint the growing industry as a major threat to the integrity of sport.
Its report found some athletes had accidentally consumed contaminated products, or consumed products that contained banned ingredients but which were not listed on the label.
Sources within the industry said on Thursday new operators in an increasingly competitive market were dangling unverified supplements in front of players, tempting some of them to push the envelope of what they can legally consume.
Australian rugby player Quade Cooper said he had been approached by supplement companies in the past and was wary of any substance which had not been not carefully vetted by performance staff at the Queensland Reds and Australian Rugby Union.
"You've got to be wary," he said.
"It's your career. It's your life. You are going to get paid by these supplement companies but it's risk verses reward.
"For me, it's not worth putting something in my mouth that could jeopardise my whole career.
However, Cooper said even the most cautious players could be caught out by the supplements, which were designed to boost muscle mass, power, provide energy bursts or help strip weight.
"You get things checked but chemicals can slip in there," he said.
Supplements made in Australia are heavily regulated and subject to testing by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
However, imported brands, mostly from the United States and the United Kingdom, can be manufactured under substantially less-stringent conditions.
Sel Berdie from Body Science - which supplies supplements to many of Australia's highest-profile elite teams and associations - welcomed a crackdown on the industry but warned the internet had opened a tap that was difficult to turn off.
"When you are buying something online through all of these random channels overseas, it is hard to guarantee exactly what you are getting, which is why we have strict standards of manufacturing in Australia and why we are regulated by the TGA," Mr Berdie said.
"I welcome it all. If it's going to wipe out these illegal substances, the better it is for the health and safety of athletes."
The number of chemicals and substances that are on the banned list is mind-boggling and constantly updated.
It includes a variety of peptides, growth hormones and stimulants.
However Mr Berdie said athletes shouldn't use ignorance as an excuse, given the readily available information at hand.
"ASADA [Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority] do a good job getting around to clubs and telling them what they can and can't do," he said.
"At the same time, as we are seeing now here, there are always going to be cracks in the system."
"If you have some inclination, there's no harm in asking. ASADA have a line, you can call them directly. If you have a question, you can call us directly. If you aren't able to get information, you shouldn't be taking what you are about to take."
Wesley Hurrell, from online distributor Mr Supplement, said his company would review its list of imported brands in light of Thursday's revelations.
"I can see why long-standing Australian manufacturers would welcome this," he said.
"Australian producers are under stricter guidelines than our American counterparts," Hurrell said.
"Having said that, substances from the US are readily available and there's a lot of them in Australia.
"Studies have taken various samples from different companies and they've shown contaminants, stuff in there that's not on the label, stuff that is illegal and performance enhancing."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England following the Norman Conquest in 1066. It is a name for a person who was in charge of protecting an enclosed forest from damage by vandals, animals, and poachers. The name was originally derived from the Old English haye, which meant enclosure.
Heywoit Early Origins
Lancashire at Heywood, a town and chapelry, in the township of Heap, parish and union of Bury, hundred of Salford. "Heywood, in the Saxon, denotes the site of a wood in a field, or a wood surrounded by fields; a family of the same name resided here for many generations. " [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Heywood Hall was long the residence of the ancestors of the baronet's family. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print.
Heywoit Spelling Variations
Heywoit Spelling Variations
Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Heywoit family name include Hayward, Heyward, Haward, Haywood, Heywood and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Heywoit family to immigrate North America: Hugh Haward settled in Virginia in 1624 with his wife Susan; Thomas Hayward settled in New England in 1634 with his wife Susannah and five children; Samuel Hayward settled in New England in 1687.

After a few years, many marketing agency owners find work isn't fun any more. They're getting pulled in a million directions, and there's never enough time or money. And they don't spend as much time on the work that got them started in the first place.
Fortunately, marketing firm owners don't have to go it alone. I've found a solution to this problem by applying my business operations experience.
I shared my solution today at the Raleigh Convention Center during the Digital Marketing for Business (DMFB) conference, a conference reaching 400 marketing professionals and business owners from North Carolina and across the Southeast.
My presentation was on "5 Things You're Missing That Are Killing Your Business."
By creating and consistently applying systems in five key areas of their business—sales, marketing, accounting, recruiting, and project management—business owners can make more money, find more free time, and love their work again.

Route 51 is a bus route operated by the Maryland Transit Administration in Baltimore and its suburbs. The line currently runs from the Rogers Avenue Metro Subway Station to the Patapsco Light Rail Stop, serving the communities of Arlington, Ashburton, Mondawmin, Rosemont, Baltimore, Cherry Hill, and Mt. Winans, and the suburb of Baltimore Highlands.
Route 51 mostly is the successor to Bus Route D, which was operated by Auxiliary Bus Lines from 1923 to 1948 along a portion of the current route, mostly along Bentalou and Monroe Streets. Auxiliary Bus Lines also operated a separate route along Hollins Ferry Road in Baltimore Highlands.[2][3] The use of the no. 51 designation for the route began in 1948.[4]
In 1984, in conjunction with the opening of the Baltimore Metro Subway, the route was modified to serve three stations, with its northern terminus extended from Belevdere and Groveland Avenues to Rogers Avenue Station. The line also had selected trips added to Cherry Hill.
In 2001, Route 51 was combined with Route 30, which had operated since 1993,[5] and all trips, except for those operating to Cherry Hill, were extended to the Patapsco Light Rail Stop via Hollins Ferry Road through Mt. Winans and Baltimore Highlands. Cherry Hill trips were also extended to Patapsco along Hanover Street and Patapsco Avenue.
In 2005, as part of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, MTA initially proposed to eliminate the Cherry Hill branch of Route 51 and increase the level of service to Mt. Winans.[6] This proposal was not implemented in 2005, but in 2006, it was modified. Another plan was introduced to extend the route north to the Reisterstown Plaza Metro Subway Station to replace a portion of Route 27, which was proposed for elimination, and eliminate some of the deviations into other Metro stations in order to keep the operating time the same.
The elimination of Cherry Hill trips was scrapped due to public outcry, and all changes to this route are yet to be implemented.
In 2014, the route in southwest Baltimore was modified to serve the Horseshoe Casino on Russell Street, operating via Russell, Haines, Warner, Bayard and Wicomico Streets.

Julio Cesar will stay with Queens Park Rangers this season even though the club have been trying to get him off the wage bill, says Luiz Felipe Scolari.
The Brazilian, who is on around £75,000 a week and has three years left on his deal, is one of a number of players Rangers have been trying to move on following their relegation to the Championship.
But Brazil coach Scolari says the goalkeeper has told him he will remain at Loftus Road and insists that will not damage his hopes of playing for his country at next year's World Cup.
Speaking at a press conference to announce his squad for the friendlies against Australia and Portugal next month, Scolari said: "Julio has resolved his matters with the club. Hypothetically, we know where he will play this season.
"We've talked to him, reaffirmed our trust in him during this week after we talked to his club. We have called him up again because by the end of the transfer window, his situation will be resolved, with him staying on with QPR.
"After that it will be up to his manager to play him or not."
Scolari has recalled Chelsea midfielder Ramires to the squad for the matches. He was left out for the Confederations Cup earlier this year, with Scolari wanting two defensive midfielders who do not have a tendency to charge upfield.
There were reports in Brazil that Ramires had fallen out of favour because he had reported late before the friendly against England in London in February but he has now been given a new chance.
"The player had a problem but he will have a chance to be part of the group," said Scolari.
"He will have to show that, technically, he is good enough."

Polar Crank
Some metering pumps use a polar crank, an advanced and reliable variable stroke length drive available in high pressure/high flow industrial duty metering pumps.
In the polar crank drive, a high speed worm gear reduces the RPM supplied by the motor, and provides the lower RPM to a rotating crank. A connecting rod with spherical bearings on each end links the crank to the crosshead and piston assembly. The worm gear and crank assembly pivots in an arc about the worm shaft center to change stroke length. The piston stroke length is determined by the angle of the assembly.
For example, when the pump is at zero stroke, the worm/crank assembly is in a vertical position. The crank then rotates in a vertical plane, and one end of the connecting rod revolves with it. The crosshead and the piston remain stationary because no reciprocating action is produced. When the pump is adjusted full stroke (or maximum capacity), the rotating crank is moved to its maximum angle from the vertical axis.
At the top of the rotation cycle, the connecting rod is pushed forward, moving the crosshead and piston to the full forward position at the end of the discharge stroke. As the crank continues to rotate, the angle of the crank causes the connecting rod to pull the crosshead and piston until it reaches the full rearward position, at which point the connecting rod has reached the bottom of the rotation cycle.
Regardless of the stroke length setting, the top of the rotation cycle always forces the crosshead and the piston to the full forward position at the end of each discharge stroke. This assures complete scavenging of the liquid end during each stroke cycle. The angle of the polar crank can be adjusted in infinite increments between zero and maximum stroke for extremely accurate controlled volume pump settings.
A polar crank drive can feature maximum capacity ranges between 0.033-gph (125-mL/hr) and 2510-gph depending on frame size, stroking speed, and plunger diameter. Discharge pressures are rated up to 7500-psi and up to eight pumps can be multiplexed and driven by one motor. Polar cranks can include HPD, packed plunger, disc diaphragm, or tubular diaphragm liquid ends.
To achieve a high thrust capacity and extend component life, some polar crank drives feature a pressurized lubrication system. This positive oil pressure lubrication ensures long bearing life and permits the pump to operate at very high suction and discharge pressures.
As the crosshead moves forward during the discharge stroke, oil from the reservoir is drawn up through a ball check into a cavity in the crosshead. During the suction (rearward) stroke the lubricant is trapped. It is then forced through the crosshead, into the crosshead connecting rod bearing, through the hollow connecting rod, and finally to the crank connecting rod bearing.
By forcing the oil through this path, every moving part is lubricated during every complete cycle of the pump. To reduce the wear of moving parts and extend oil life, a magnetic strainer cleans the oil before it enters the pressurized system.

Overdrive & engine rpm question
So I just picked up an 05 5.7 Limited with 110K the other day and looks like I may already be experiencing some transmission issues. I mostly do hi way driving and I notice that at 65 mph my engine rpms are up in the 2K range. This seems a little high to me. To the guys with this same setup what are your rpms showing?
Thanks in advance.
Re: Overdrive & engine rpm question
i have the same trans and rear. Iwant to say at 75-80 i am just over 2k rpms.
Three planetary gear sets, one overrunning clutch, with Electronic Range Select (ERS) driver interactive control, electronically controlled torque converter clutch.
Gear ratios:
1st - 3.00
2nd - 1.67 (upshift), 1.50 (kickdown)
3rd - 1.0
4th - 0.75
5th - 0.67
Rev - 3.0
Axle: - 3.73
Final Drive Ratio: 3.73 with 4.7-liter or 5.7-liter engine
Overall Top Gear: 2.50 with 3.73 axle
Re: Overdrive & engine rpm question
Yes and it has the Quadra Drive II transmission.
Re: Overdrive & engine rpm question
Quadra Drive is the 4wd system. it is the top of the line 4wd system, there are 3 of them. you have Electronic Limited Slip diffs.
545re something or other is the trans.
you can get more info about the wk than you ever need at www.wkjeeps.com
Re: Overdrive & engine rpm question
In the 63-65 mph range you're right near the stock shiftpoint from 4th to 5th, and both are overdrive gears. With stock size tires, if you're in 4th, you'll be ~2200 RPM, and 5th you'll be ~1900 RPM. For me, living in hilly terrain, it's just about perfect if I drive at 63-64 mph. On level ground I goose it a little and it shifts to 5th. On inclines I backshift it to 4th and then back to Drive. This allows maximum use of the MDS, as many times on slight inclines the MDS will be off if in 5th, but will come on if in 4th (Drive). Also, be aware that with MDS active it will add ~50-125 RPM. When it comes out of MDS the engine RPM drops the same ~50-125 RPM to match turbine speed, if locked. The converter lock also plays a part here. It is not on when in MDS mode, but will come on, sometimes simultaneously, when the MDS kicks off. Bottom line, in this speed range, you should notice quite a bit of RPM shifts (could be mistaken for "hunting"), depending on the amount of hilly terrain, wind, etc., and yes, even type of road surface. I've seen up to about 4% change in engine load when changing from one type of road surface to another....i.e asphalt to concrete, or vice versa. This will also affect the MDS, which is load sensitive, among other parameters.

In my state at least, everyone's insurance policy includes coverage against accidents from uninsured drivers. So our insurance would repair our car, and it's up to them to go after the other guy for the repairs.
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." - Mother Teresa
is there a reason not to total out the car and take the money and get it fixed? if you aren't planning on selling it i don't think a totaled title is an issue?
i could be wrong of course.
and, embarassingly enough, i was an uninsured driver and i pulled in front of someone and she hit me. i did get a ticket and a suspended license (i'm really surprised they didn't do this?!?) but her insurance company never contacted me at all regarding payments. s i don't really know why?
Why? It seems like any judge would side in your favor. I'd try.
my mom had a car totalled after a drunk hit-and-run driver damaged the side. she got insurance to pay her the "total" value of the car minus what they would get for the car if it was scrapped. And she kept the car.
I always thought you can buy back your own totalled car from your insurance company. I know my dad did something similar to what SleeplessMommy described (except no drunk driver involved, but black ice with two insured drivers) I clearly remember my dad on the phone with some insurance person negotiating the "salvage price" of the car. I think I would buy it back, drop the comp and collision, and then just drive it in is current condition until it useful life was used up. (I am a person that doesn't get to hung up on the asthetics of vehicles )
The whole uninsured driver part stinks, is unfair, and I know would be annoying to me as well. But in the long run I just don't think I'd be willing to devote the time and emotional energy necessary to do anything about it.

Limpopo whizz kid among top Stellenbosch students
Most people tend to think that students on the Extended Degree Programme are part of a lower performing group. Enos Lekala wants to prove that students on this programme can excel.
The Social Dynamics student in his second year was so determined to succeed at his studies, that he is amongst the top 15% of students at Stellenbosch University. Because of this achievement, he has been invited to become a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society. This Society is affiliated with close to 400 universities across the globe and it offers extensive networking opportunities.
Lekala grew up in the rural areas of Limpopo Province as the eldest of five children. His father died when he was young and his mother is unemployed.
"I was quite ill during my matric year and I believed that my results were not a true reflection of what Enos could really achieve," he says, quirkily referring to himself in the third person.
"In my first year I worked very hard to prove that I could do really well."
His hard work paid off, and he completed his first year with an average of 76%.
He chose to study Social Dynamics because it is the "meeting point of politics, economics and development sciences".
"I am especially interested in public development management and therefore I particularly enjoy the PDM module."
He says he chose to study at Stellenbosch University, because "it is well known that if you want to gain recognition as a social scientist, this is the best place to obtain your training."
Lekala says his mother was a hugely positive influence in his life because she continually encouraged him to study.
"She is very clever and I have heard that she did extremely well when she was at school. But, in those days it was difficult for people in the rural areas to further their studies or even to finish matric.
"I was also encouraged by other people including Mr Mahlobogoane, of De Wagendrift Combined School in Groblersdal that I attended before moving to Mpilo Senior Secondary School in Gakgoshi where I was helped by Mr Matabane, the principal, and the admin personnel Mr Thotse and Mr Modipa.
"Unfortunately I do not know the first names of these people. But they helped me meet many of my needs including providing financial assistance when I needed to stay in a residence closer to the school. It became too difficult to travel 10km to school from my home every day."
Lekala is the first member of his family to matriculate and enter university.
"I hope that I have planted an education seed amongst my family members." – STEPHANIE NIEUWOUDT

What is a Man-cat to do? Not only do I have Mama, but then there's Misty, and now Maggie, both of whom fit the title "Fancy Pants". Misty's grumpy, but Maggie's okay. She likes to run through the house and play ...
Mama was gone for Catmas, but she brought us back lotsa goodies. She says she's leaving our tree up for awhile so we all can enjoy it.
Gee, it's been a year already. Well, I am one happy cat that's for sure. Except that the grampa person died in February, and I miss him a whole lot. I wanted to go with him. I was grieving for two months, and then I had my vet visit, and got shots, and got sick, and had a fever over 106.4 and mama was afraid i was going to go to Gampers. But I didn't, and I feel better now ... and Mama gives me lots of lovin. Mama switched us to a diferent kibble too ... you guys should all ask for it. No more grain, no more beaks and feet. She says it's "human grade" ... Anyway we feel a whole lot better ...http://tasteofthewildpetfood.com/products/cats/rocky_moun tain_feline_formula/ and i really recommend it....
Today Mama went to a store just for critters and bought a new carrier JUST FOR ME! I don't have to share Fancy Pants' carrier any more. She gets so upset about that.
I am so happy. Mama figured out what happened to me. In November, over 200 people were laid off from a business here in Oscoda. People packed up and left, and many critters got left behind because people didn't care enough about them. that's about the time I started showing up on her doorstep for hand outs. My first people didn't love me enough to make sure I was okay, they just went off and left me behind to catch my own dinner.
Mama did lotsa kissies on me and said she'll never do that. I have a collar, with tags, and a chip somewhere in me that tells the world I'm HER liddle boy.
and I am grateful.

Discovered in 1933 by Jeff Forneau and Daniel Bovent, Piperoxan was the first antihistamine available to humans. As a result, the two scientists received the Nobel Prize in 1957. An antihistamine is formally known as a drug that eliminates the effects as mediated by the natural chemical histamine. The body releases histamine to act as a receptor during allergic reactions. Therefore, an antihistamine is an agent that therapeutically affects the body by mediating a negative modulation of the histamine receptors. Once in the body, antihistamine competes with histamine for binding receptor sites. Therefore, antihistamine is unable to remove histamines if already bound to a receptor site. If the antihistamine binds to the receptor first, the histamine will not be able to overtake the site.
Causes of Allergies
Allergies that cause the release of histamine in the body can be caused by a number of different factors. However, all allergies are a hypersensitivity reaction of an antibody on mast cells in tissues as well as basophils in the blood. When an allergen is encountered in the body, it binds directly to the antibody which activates the mast cells resulting in the release of histamines. These histamines cause inflammatory responses which range from runny nose and sneezing to anaphylactic shock. Furthermore, allergies are hereditary in most cases. If both parents have allergies, their offspring has a 70 percent chance of also being inflicted.
Types of Antihistamines
There are two types of antihistamine, sedating and non-drowsy. Typically, patients take the sedating antihistamine before going to bed to help alleviate symptoms during the night so they are able to have regular sleep. Sedating versions of the drug enter the brain thus causing the drowsy feeling. The most commonly used sedating antihistamine is promethazine, hydroxyzine and alimemazine. Non-drowsy antihistamine is taken during the day so the patient can continue with their daily functions. This version of the drug does not enter the brain and therefore is does not result in drowsiness. The most widely-used non-drowsy antihistamine is cetirizine and loratadine.
Summary of Non Drowsy Antihistamines
Against popular belief, non-drowsy antihistamine is not suitable for everyone as they have a variety of side-effects that can result in worst conditions like glaucoma, retention of urine, obstruction of the gut and an enlarged prostate. Additionally, for those with kidney or liver disease, a lower dose is usually in order. Therefore, non-drowsy antihistamine should always be administered with caution. Furthermore, if not totally essential it should not be administered, especially in pregnant women unless prescribed by a doctor. Also, non-drowsy antihistamine can be used in children of specific ages. For instance, hydroxyzine should not be used on children under six months of age while promethazine and alimemazine are not recommended for children under two years old. As always, when seeing a doctor for any allergic problems, it is important to reveal any other medicines being administered including herbal and over-the-counter medications. Non-drowsy antihistamine is a powerful and effective treatment for allergic reactions but should always be ingested according to the doctor's orders and directions on the package.

As a part-time gun dealer I'd say around here (Arizona):
Hi Point
Masterpiece Arms
$500 gets you a NIB CZ, 2 16 round magazines, cleaning tools and carrying case. Then save the rest of your money and get yourself a .22 conversion kit (Kadet Kit). I am able to train every weekend for pennies on the dollar with the money I save buying 22LR instead of 9mm. The Kadet pays itself back in the first 1k rounds and you can use the savings to bulk up on 9mm.

The question is not relevant. It is subjective. The 5 top selling hand guns would be the Kel-Tecs, Taurus's, Grendel, Phoenix, Jennings, Jeminez, and a bunch more under $250. The Best Made guns, however, would be a different list, The Sigs, CZ'z, Beretta's, Glocks, and HK's, and even the Springfield Armory line of Compacts and Sub-compacts.
As I said, it's all relative. $800 encompasses all major/minor brands except the Kimbers and some of the S&W's. The correct question would be IF you could buy 5 CCW's and none could cost OVER $800, which ones would you buy?

Quirky coupe: Initial shipments of the Hyundai Veloster will make it here by year's end, but the launch may be delayed until early next year.
18 October 2011
By MIKE COSTELLO
HYUNDAI Australia has confirmed it will receive its first shipments of the quirky Veloster coupe/hatch crossover before the end of the year, but has admitted the car's projected 2011 launch might be pushed back to early 2012.
Marketing director Oliver Mann said at last week's launch of the i40 Tourer that the launch timing of Veloster would depend on how many shipments were received before the end of the year.
Hyundai Australia senior manager PR and events Ben Hershman told GoAuto this meant the local release might be pushed back to the beginning of 2012, depending on stock levels and finding a suitable launch timing over the busy holiday period.
The Veloster, featuring a unique asymmetrical design with two conventionally hinged individual doors on the passenger side and a longer single one on the driver's side, made its first appearance in Australia at a sponsored event at the Sydney Opera House in March before being wheeled out at the Melbourne motor show in July.
While Hyundai is not giving away specification or pricing on the four-seat sports car, recent Australian Design Rule (ADR) documentation helps us to fill in some of the gaps.
While only one variant is listed in the ADR document, the company has received approval to offer both 17- and 18-inch wheels and an optional sunroof.
In the UK, an up-spec Sports variants gains larger diameter 18-inch alloy wheels (with colour inserts) and sunroof, making it likely that the Australian subsidiary will offer a similar choice.
The highly-specified UK Veloster range kicks off at £17,995 drive-away (A$27,900) and climbs to £21,745 (A$33,700) drive-away for the flagship Sport DCT.
The company previously confirmed that Veloster will be powered by a new 1.6-litre direct-injection petrol engine producing 103kW at a high 6300rpm and 167Nm of peak torque at 4850rpm.
The high-revving powerplant will be matched to a choice of six-speed manual gearbox or the brand's first six-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which is similar in design to existing units such as Ford's Powershift and Volkswagen's DSG.
In addition to the injection and valve-timing technology, Hyundai claims the engine's electronic throttle control, roller timing chain, variable induction and use of anti-friction coatings will combine to provide highway fuel economy of 5.9 litres per 100km.
The car shares its underpinnings with the Accent sedan, sitting on a 2650mm wheelbase. Overall length is 4220mm, width is 1790mm, and weight is a tick under 1200kg.
Stopping power will be provided by 280mm discs at the front and 262mm discs at the rear.
Following the trend of recent models such as the i45 sedan and i40 Tourer, the steering and suspension local Velosters will be tuned locally to suit Australia conditions. The suspension set-up is MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear.
