Resumen del alojamiento
Do NOT try to book it without sending me a note first, so I can confirm availability.
This listing is for a private room in a shared apartment, with myself + girlfriend (in separate bedroom). This has a brand new, comfy queen bed, nice view out of the window, plenty of sunlight and room for an air mattress if you are 2 people that wish not to share a bed.
There is free WiFi, a new flat screen HD TV with a DVD player and like all my listings, plenty of cable channels. There's plenty of room in the double closet for all your clothes and luggage. There is a coffee maker in your room and some breakfast items are always included; milk, juice, bread/bagels, cereal or anything else you need to get going in the morning. I will take your breakfast order a few days before your arrival. You may use the kitchen, provided you clean up after yourselves if you wish to cook.
The bathroom, will be shared and is has a full tub with an endless supply of hot water for relaxing after a long day of touring or working in NYC!
Bookings for single nights only, can only be made within 7 days of arrival (if available) unless it precedes or adds to an existing reservation that is already booked.
In the basement of the building, there is a laundry room (coin operated) or a dry cleaner to drop off around the corner.
The Building and Neighborhood: This lovely, and highly desired neighborhood is very lively after the sun goes down. The East Village has been heavily built up over the last 5-10 years and located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Manhattan. It offers a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and a beautiful park. You can walk to Indian, Russian, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vegetarian and American restaurants within a 5 block radius. If you're too tired and beat up from touring NYC and don't feel like going anywhere, you can simply order in and have anything delivered to the room (usually until 11 pm or midnight). And these little privately owned restaurants are MUCH better than midtown/tourist-trap food chain places. There are at least three 24/hr places to eat within 1 block. This building is one of only a few in the neighborhood that has a doorman and an elevator. About 95% of the buildings in the area are walk-ups.
Your "home away from home" will provide the NYC experience not soon forgotten: about 50 restaurant/bars/cafe's within a 3 block radius and probably 500 within a 10 block radius. Enjoy a beautiful park (Tompkins Square)) about a 2 minute walk and an East River waterfront park about 4-5 streets/blocks to the east.
My apartment is a 2 minute walk to the subway (L Train) and a bus almost at the nearest corner.
For additional fees, I can act as chauffeur to pick-up/drop off at airport (depending on my work schedule/arrival time), take you to attractions in NYC, on Long Island, Catskills, Hamptons, etc.. I can be your personal tour guide to all the tourist attractions, as well as to the cool, not-in-the-guide-books places for nightlife or dinner.
Cleaning charges: Included for up to 7 nights. Stays more than 7 nights may be charged $ 35 which you will pay directly to house cleaner who will come and clean apt and do laundry (towels + sheets) once per week (Mon or Tues) for those staying for longer periods.

Appartement fonctionnel est au calme, sans bruit (un luxe à NYC) et vous pouvez avoir des nuits réparatrices après des journées soutenues.
Le premier métro est à 10' a pieds.
Au delà de tompkims park (4') vous accédez au quartier sympa de east village avec ses bars et restos
Bruce à fait preuve de beaucoup de compréhension et d'écoute pour nous faciliter le séjour.
El piso está muy céntrico, en muy buen barrio, con buenas conexiones de metro y muchos centros de ocio alrededor.
La azotea es impresionante.
Ha sido una muy buena estancia que algún día nos gustaría repetir!
Los anfitriones fueron muy amables!
Bruce's apartment is brilliantly situated between midtown and the financial district , lots of bars, shops, restaurants etc all within easy walking distance. View from the roof is the stuff of dreams. Apartment spacious for 2, very clean and comfortable. Bruce was there to meet us : very friendly with tips and advice for the area.also basics for cooking and breakfast provisions which was great.
Its a real residential neighbourhood and very affordable for eating out and drinking compared to much of Manhattan.
Had a great stay in NYC and Bruce's apartment was great for us.
Perfect location and they were very welcoming and made feel very at home.
Roof top terrace view is a must see too!
Bei meiner Buchung im März waren definitiv andere Fotos im Netz.
Die Geschmäcker sind ja bekanntlich verschieden, somit ist dies meine persönliche Meinung:
- Mir war nicht klar, dass es sich um eine Wohnung im Basement handelt, die somit recht dunkel ist.
- Da es keine küche gibt, findet der Abwasxh im kleinen Badezimmer-Waschbecken statt.
- Die Möbel sind alt und zusammengewürfelt, die Terrasse ist mit irgendwelchen Sachen vollgemüllt und voller Kippen.
- Die Dachterrasse hat einen tollen Blick, bei uns war sie Freitag und Samstag Abend für Privatparties vermietet
- Busse sind dicht bei, zur U-Bahn ist es ganzes Stück
- Das Frühstück war lecker und wie bestellt
- Es gibt jede Menge Restaurants in der Umgebung
Bruce has been a very nice host. The flat is in the basement, but quit nice with a great view from the rooftop!
Its a bit of a walk to the next subway, but not that bad. East Village is a great area for bars and restaurants.
All went very well with our stay. Very organized meet up, nice and clean apartmant. I'd return anytime.
Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, mitten in New York zu wohnen, ohne das übliche Hotel-Flair. Wer eine gemütliche kleine Unterkunft sucht ist hier genau richtig. Das Zimmer liegt absolut zentral im East Village und man kommt bequem zu Fuß nach Downtown. Jede Menge Pubs und Lokale in der Nähe. Das war wirklich toll. Bruce ist ein guter Host, er erklärt alles bei der Ankunft und wenn man Fragen hat? kein Problem, einfach eine Nachricht schicken und schon ist alles geklärt. Würde das Zimmer wieder mieten.
Amable y puntual,desde luego del todo recomendable
We stayed in Bruce's apartment for 8 days, at the beginning of October. Bruce was a great host, and the room was big and comfortable. It was very clean when we first arrived and there was a small fridge with some complimentary food and drinks - nice touch. I would recommend this place to my friends. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks Bruce!

Need passenger window motor connector
I recently got new window regulators and motors (OEM) and while swapping out the old motors, I noticed they are aftermarket so the previous owner cut the connector off. Now the new motor is requiring the connector and I am not able to figure out which connector it is. I've taken it to the dealership and they aren't sure either. I have ordered a couple online that appear to be correct, but they aren't so now I am eating shipping costs. I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to remove the door panel and speaker and see if they can find a part number on their connector and possibly snap a picture.
Here is how the male end of the motor looks:
The plug should be female. I would appreciate this greatly so I can have a window!

The concept is the same: Tom wants to use all of the briar in the blocks instead of simply throwing out the leftovers from his regular pipe production, and lo and behold, the funny little Sailor pipe!This version of it has not only one but two carbon shanks, one short, one long, and it also comes with a comfortable stem that fits both. Which makes these ones more 'real pipes', as Tom says, compared to the smaller original versions. Also included is a neat little tamper. This is an awesome little puffer, we think. We already felt that way about the originals so it's great to see a development here, a progress with the concept. This is the sandblasted and black stained/smooth rim type. Note that not all have smooth rim.NB: The Sailor pipes are handmade so the size and weight can vary +/-10 %. The colour can also vary a little. Specifications Length: 12,2/14,7 cm.

We all know the Republicans' game plan when it comes to election time. Push wedge issues that play to their racist, xenophobic base. It's called the Southern strategy.
In the Southern strategy, Republicans recognize they aren't going to get more than 10% to 20% of minority votes and just write off even trying to appeal to them. Initially, this just applied to writing off the African-Americans of America. But now it applies to all non-whites.
And they are doomed.
More than half of all babies born last year were members of minority groups, the first time in U.S. history. It's a sign of how swiftly the USA is becoming a nation of younger minorities and older whites.
Hispanics, blacks, Asians and other minorities in 2011 accounted for 50.4% of births, 49.7% of all children under 5 and slightly more than half of the 4 million kids under 1, the Census Bureau reports today.
(USA Today)
So every year as Republican candidates get more and more extreme, their party will become more and more irrelevant. And this applies to Minnesota, too. As MN becomes more diverse, the MNGOP will keep appealing to a smaller and smaller piece of the pie. Right now, around 25% (max 30%) of Minnesotans identify themselves as Republican.
And this doesn't account for the conservatives who can no longer stand how far to the right the party has gone and are now voting DFL.

will a miniture schnauzer get along with any breed of cat?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It depends on the particular dog, not especially the breed.And it depends also on the cat. Look for a cat who has been exposed to dogs and shown no aggressive tendancies toward them. Ask at the shelter or rescue if the cat is known to get along with dogs. If they say they don't know if the cat gets along with dogs, move on. Remember that Schnauzers were originally bred as guard dogs and rat dogs, meaning they are very protective and predatory. It's probably not a good idea to get a tiny kitten. When you add a cat to your family, make sure you adopt from a reputable shelter or rescue who will work with you to make the introductions go smoothly and who will always be available for phone conversations and help. They, in addition to your vet, can tell you how to introduce the two. Cats and dogs are not natural enemies, despite what myth says. I have 2 of each and they get along fine. Rely on the rescue and your vet to help you out. Good luck!

Starbucks was today warned that its decision to pay a "voluntary" £20 million to HM Revenue and Customs will backfire unless it vows to pay the correct amount of corporation tax permanently.
The coffee chain bowed to public outrage over its tax affairs and yesterday agreed to make a voluntary £10 million annual offering to HMRC for the next two years.
Starbucks has not paid corporation tax for 14 of the past 15 years of trading in the UK, despite owning more than 700 cafés and taking more than £3 billion in sales since launching in Britain.
Last year the company registered sales of £398 million but claimed to make a loss of £33 million, giving it a corporation tax bill of zero. Starbucks will now pay £10 million for last year and the same sum for next year despite not knowing what its profits will be.
Labour MP Margaret Hodge, a member of the Public Accounts Committee, said: "This has to be lasting. Paying tax is not a voluntary undertaking. It is not a PR gesture."
Conservative MP Stewart Jackson said: "They clearly had a public relations problem. This was a damage limitation exercise. They were facing the prospect of a boycott.
"But it may have backfired on them. It could be seen as them dipping into the Christmas fund — bunging the taxpayer some money to take the heat off."
He added: "This is the beginning of a process where they hopefully end up paying their fair share of tax."Reuse content

" Discussion Category: Hobbies & Collectables "
The collecting of postage stamps is one of the world's most popular indoor hobbies. It brings the hobbyist into closer contact with our outer world and exposes the excellence of nations that we may not even consider in waking moments. The hobby has also been the recreational pursuit of many world leaders; including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Stamp collecting has roots in British culture. The first postage stamp was released for use in Great Britain on May 6, 1840. The stamp depicted Queen Victoria against a solid black background and carried the value of one penny. It was issued as an "imperforate" stamp, which did not feature any "teeth" on the border of the stamp like many of us are familiar with today. It is currently one of the most sought after stamps in the hobby and carries a catalogue value of up to £4,500 for mint condition examples as of 2005. The value of stamps frequently fluctuates as condition and rarity play crucial roles in determining retail pricing. Many collectors feel damage significantly reduces the value of a rare stamp and may even make a common stamp worthless. Because of this, it is important to adequately protect and store a stamp collection during its lifetime if one is considering future resale value. A well-maintained stamp collection is also very aesthetically pleasing and provides a great presentation for all who view it.
Acquiring stamps is the first step in building a stamp collection. The most budget friendly method of acquisition is by saving envelope clippings from the post and "soaking" them in tepid water to remove the stamp. Collectors may also ask friends and family members to save envelopes that bear stamps in aims of building a larger collection. Unfortunately, the introduction of the Franking metre tariff and shipping labels has considerably reduced the number of postal used stamps in modern circulation. I know I can go many months without ever seeing a stamp on my mail despite the high volume of items that are shoved through my letter slot around midday. However, this is of great benefit to dealers and other retailers as customers seeking stamps come flocking to them in search of their elusive items. I find this is by far the easiest way of building a stamp collection, but I'm left in the lurch on many occasions as my local dealer's meeting and fair is only hosted on a quarterly basis. I do enjoy modern themes issued by the Royal Mail and willingly queue at my local post office to purchase the newest sets, but am never really aware about how much I'll be spending on the day with the seemingly always increasing stamp rates.
After some stamps have been acquired, then it is up to the hobbyist to choose an appropriate storage method. It can be a simple lumping of all material into a shoe box, but this doesn't allow any spectator to enjoy the stamps. The two most widely accepted storage solutions for stamp collections are hinged albums and stockbooks.
The album is a bound booklet where collectors may affix their loose stamps using stamp hinges. This is the most economical solutions as stamp hinges may be bought by the thousand for as little as a pound, but is said to be inappropriate for mint condition stamps as hinges tend to leave unsightly brown marks when removed. Stamp collectors may also use stamp mounts to affix their mint condition stamps in an album as these bound and protect the stamp without making contact with the adhesive gum. However, stamp mounts carry a higher unit cost and might be inappropriate for stamps only worth 1p from a collector's perspective.
Stockbooks are a somewhat new invention in the world of stamp collecting. They present stamps in an album-like fashion, but do so by holding the stamp in place under a strip of material. This is usually a more expensive alternative to albums as stockbooks tend to be fewer in pages and made of acid free materials, but preserve stamps in their original condition as the use of stamp hinges isn't required or even possible. Stockbooks can provide an excellent solution for those who are concerned about future resale value.
Perhaps the most important piece of advice I was given by a stamp dealer was "choose a theme or country of interest early as you will never collect every stamp ever; it's too expensive and too time-consuming". This is true as briefly sifting through a Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogue quickly reveals the true cost associated with the collection of rare and early stamps, which usually exceeds thousands of pounds. Fortunately, there are many themes and topics available for collectors who are unable to identify any countries that may be of interest. A collector may find stamps on animals, boats, chess, Disney characters, football, and much more.
Stamp collecting has been a great source of pleasure and personal interest for me. It has provided me with an abundance of geographical and political knowledge without the need for a more learned academic approach. The hobby has captivated my mind and I don't plan on forsaking it any time soon. No, not even Anne Robinson's snarly remarks can deter me!
Collecting Stamps has been a hobby of my Grandads for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I thought this hobby was a bit boring and almost took the mickey out of people that would do this as I could not see what was so interesting about it. When I was about 15, my Grandad gave me, my sister and my three cousins a load of stamps to keep for ourselves. I'm not quite sure what they did with theirs, but I went out and brought a book to keep them all in.
I had great fun sorting out which stamps were from which countries, and arranging them all in the book I had brought. It made me feel quite embarassed about what I had previously said about the hobby. It just goes to show that the old saying is true 'don't knock it till you have tried it'!
Stamps are one of the top ten hobbies and i havebeen collecting since i was 6 i am now 13, I love them, some can be quite valuble, others not that much, but over all they are greta they give youa nice grasp of countries and all other kinds of geological aspects, they can be very interesting to look at. At time you can be very interested in them and they can take up a lot of your time and effort but it is well worth it and you can finf out things you never would have known. Stamp collecting used to be very popular and you can be intrigued at there colour and designes. A few years aog stamps used to be popular but they are not as much now.
I am a member of CCCC (Cover Collectors Circuit Club) since 1995. For those who do not know about this club, basically we send a nice cover to the next member on the circuit (there are 4 names on the circuit before it arrives at the originator). And each member gets rated for the quality of the cover. I cannot believe my eyes today, when I recieved a cover from IRAQ. At first glance, the cover looked excellent, with a complete set of 5 stamps issued in July 2000. But when I took another look at the stamps, I thought to myself, it doesn't look like REAL STAMPS. To me stamps normally have perforations (I know these days you can get sticker stamps without perforations. Some countries have started doing these without perforations, for example Singapore). But this one hasn't. And it looked like the original had been scanned (without perforations) and then printed on a colour inkjet. I was utterly disappointed, and angry of course. Does this mean the postal authority is not very efficient in IRAQ?? Yolande Saunders
This Op won't be about how to collect stamps, and I won't try to give you advice. To me stamp collecting is like sexuality, everything is ok, as long as it serves your personal needs and doesn't harm anyone else. Lots of people have different goals and pleasures from their hobby, and I like just having a hobby. I never thought about collecting stamps, or coins or expired telephone cards because I always believed it was a wimpy activity. I did not know how fun and educating that collecting stamps could be. It fosters an appreciation for the whole wide world, and just a small scrap of paper can be a passport to the excitement of another culture. I will someday teach my daughter to collect stamps and look forward to answering her questions such as "Where is Moldova?" {see my Op on Moldova to grasp what I will tell her} It seems like such a nice hobby that a parent can do with their child or a grandparent can do. Not only can they be an impetus to learn about another land, but its wildlife and kings and sports. It is like very stamp is its own snapshot or postcard. So how did I start collecting stamps? Like I said I never collected anything. People would say that I had a gun collection, but that is not true. That is like saying a chef collects the knives he uses every day or a professional photographer collects the ameras he uses in his studio. Each of my guns had a specific use and purpose, they weren't just laying around collecting dust because they are rare, likewise most of my pieces are common mass produced weapons with absolutely no collectors value. My only other amassing of a item that is akin to many other similar items would be all my dirty magazines. For instance I had every single magazine that Victoria Paris ever appeared in. I guess that is a collection, but it doesn't seem the same as collecting coins. It isn't like we have pornography clubs or "Dirty Magazine" shows. I don't believe t
hat I really collect dirty magazines, I just happen to buy them and keep them. You just sort of get attached to certain ones some times. Anyways, the point is I never had a collection. One day MarlboroMax came over and were we drinking. Most europeans outside the Balkans do not understand this because they are not free men who own guns and can't conceptualize the idea that only free men own guns. It seems when men drink a lot they tend to think it is a good idea to get out their guns and show them off to people that haven't seen them before, or who have seen them lots of times. It isn't like we take a breathelizer and say, wow I am up to point 13, its time to play with the guns. It just sort of happens, and no one knows how, guns just magically appear from nowhere. Having a cool gun and not letting your buddies shoot it is like taking guests out to your garage and showing them you new Jag with no intention of letting them drive it, or having an especially steamy girlfriend and not letting them try her out. This night we are partying like Rocks stars, my little sister who had been on the Jenny Jones show ('From geek to Chic look at me now'- Kortenie in a black skirt and white top who called the big black guy Shannon a sea donkey) was up from where she lives in Myrtle Beach South Carolina So the next thing I know we are shooting off this 1893 Broomhandle Mauser and it my community it doesn't take long for the cops to show up. We had a small debate over the legality of shooting a pistol in our local and the cops acceded that we did have that right because we are in atownship rather than a city. But, as it was 4am they wrote us up for disturbing the peace {What peace? who came up with that phrase, there ain't no peace to disturb}. And We had to go to court. Turns out the Judge we got is an avid hunter and a sportsman himself so we were lucky as far as it beat getting some vassal of the liberal left
who would have given us hell. Half of our court case was Max showing the judge how the gun worked and explaining how the strip clips worked and all that jazz.The judge was impressed. Then he looked at our letters from our company and our work logs and our credit reports and all that jazz, judges like to see that you work fulltime, it is kind of a unwritten law in america that as long as you work fulltime and pay your bills you should be able to do whatever you want. I thought this judge was going to be all nice and lenient because like I said he was soft on decent working men packing concealed heat and stuff like that. But I was wrong. Now you are standing here in the dock, which is pretty much solemn and stolid, I guess the right word is dignified. there is this air of dignity, like A Catholic Church. And this judge leans back in his chair and fold his hands across his stomach and just stares at us while he thinks. He finally says...."I have made a decison. You who are upstanding hardworking men and a merit to society at large.", the judge looks over to the little old guy doing that little adding machine thing and the guy stops typing on it, like on cue, "But it is quite obvious that you A-holes need a hobby besides drinking and playing with guns" So we are like nodding and all attentive to this crap. You, Maxwell J. MacArthur, I sentence you to collect baseball cards. And you, he points at me, but he can't pronounce my name right at all, you are going to collect stamps. We look like all stupid and our attorny is like trying to stop this, and I am thinking, "Ok, I could have gotten six months and this fool is throwing a spat over having to collect stamps. I told him to shut down. I think he just wanted to make more money off of us by arguing with the judge and appealing it. So the judge is like, "You two will come and see me in 6 months and in that time you will have begun to collect stamps and baseball
cards. I want to see evidence that they are a cohesive and coherent collection, both of you will bring me evidence of attending swap meets and clubs for the said hobbies, don't you dare come back here with a box full of sportscards and call it a hobby, I want to see price guides, appraisals and a nice album. Now Max is all mad and upset and I was like chill out, its better than going to jail everynight. So I asked the judge if I could speak, and he said ok, and I asked him, what kind of stamps should I collect and if it would be Ok to just buy stuff at the Post Office. So the judge confers with the baliff, the guy doing that machine, and some other woman. I think the baliff was into stamps or something. "Cammiske Jesus you are sentenced to collect Falkland Island stamps" "Thats the malvinas?", I asked, trying to show off my knowledge of world events. 'No jackass (I guess the old guy wasn't typing verbatim)the British won so they will be the Falklands until Argentina can back up saying otherwise. With that the judge justs waves us away, dismissing us like he should be called, "your majesty". We go upstairs and pay our court costs and arrange our so-called probation and the women were laughing at us and laughing how this judge has done some neat stuff to harmless offenders like our selves. So now I collect stamps. I got some book called Scotts and I get this pages with like black and white pictures of the stamps, that are the same size as the stamps and then I put the stamps on them with these little corner thingies. I go to stamps show at malls and in hotel lobbies and ask everyone if they have Falkland Island stamps. It is kinda weird because I guess lots of people do have them. I think the judge knew that and knew if I had to seek out a given countries stamps I would have social intercourse with other collectors instead of just buying some ready made stamp collection from a department store. I
have lots of the same pictures on my stamps but they will have different colors and numbers. I have all of them with this guy and girl from 1937 and a bunch with sheep on them. I don't really know what any of them are worth, this Scott book says, but who knows, I don't really look at it, I just have figured out what stamps are from the Falklands and when I see them at a show I just ask the guy what he wants and if it doesn't seem like a lot of money I pay it. I don't mind paying "book" and I know these guys are running circles around me, but the cost is minor compared to getting stuck in a jail where I can't smoke. The funny thing is, is that I am proud of all my Falkland island stamps and I really want to finish this one page that is missing a few stamps. I had to call the judge and ask him something about dependencies, all these people want to know If I collect dependencies, I tell them I have 3 claimed dependents on my taxes and they laugh at me. Max is doing good with his baseball card collecting. He just put an ad in the paper saying that he is interested in buying whole collections and some kid showed up with some crap he wanted to sell to get money to buy a car. We looked at the stuff and looked at some of the items in the completed auctions on E-Bay and it seemed like a good deal and the kid had like whole sets and a whole bunch of George Brett cards, like almost every one ever made, so that looks good. But you may benefit from collecting something. It seems like with stamps people are very friendly and want company more than making money off of you. I mostly just have bar friends and friends from work, but these Philastine people are nice and really care about each other and want to help others. Like some guy named Arnie just sends me some stamp I needed for my book, just sent it to me with a note telling me he found it in Florida and hopes it is in good enough condition for my book, isn't that nice. S
tamp collectors are nice, civil, educated people and I will probaly still collect stamps even after the judge lets me off when he sees my whole book full of Falkland Island stamps
Twenty or thirty years ago philately, or stamp collecting, was one of the most popular hobbies of all, and had been so for many years. Times have changed, and this is evidently no longer the case. I was introduced to stamps as a small child by my uncle, a retired teacher, who collected and also made a certain amount of pin-money through selling more common stamps in approval booklets. (You can guess what I usually had for Christmas, can't you?) At first I kept everything that came my way, not only from him but also from family and friends who generously chipped in, plus whatever came off the post at my father's office. Actually, not quite everything. As both my elder sisters and my mother collected as well, there was a lot of competition. When I was about ten, I decided not to bother with foreign issues any more, 'foreign' in philatelic terms usually meaning 'non-UK, non-British Commonwealth'. I can still remember the thrill when I had saved up enough pocket money to splash out on a coveted 1840 1d. black and, five years later, its more expensive counterpart, the 2d. blue. Sadly, I never managed to afford the coveted 1882 £5 orange. Expect to pay around £1200-£1500 for a used copy in good condition, and considerably more mint. Around this time I decided to restrict myself simply to Britain, Ireland, and Canada. Britain, for obvious reasons; Ireland, because my eldest sister lived there at the time and I had become interested in Irish history as a result, and Canada (including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland, all of which have long since ceased to issue their own) because their designs and pictorial issues were particularly interesting, especially from the late 19th century onwards. A few years after that, I narrowed the field further to British issues only. This is not such a slender field as it sounds, if the regional issues of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the Channel Isl
ands and Isle of Man (independent since 1969 and 1973 respectively), are also included. Lundy 'stamps' from the island off Devon, by the way, though of interest, are not officially recognised by the Post Office and do not count. About five years ago, I stopped collecting completely. Having always aimed to collect the full mint (unused, with original gum) and used (postmarked) sets, I had found the task of keeping up hard work and no longer fun, and when my job became part-time, I realised I could no longer afford to try. In addition, I had long since found the Post Office's proliferation of annual issues was a case of killing the goose that lays the golden egg. About half a dozen annual commemorative or 'special' pictorial sets of up to four or five different values each was fair enough, but the endless procession of 'Greetings' stamps as well, I thought, was overdoing it. Nevertheless I have kept what I had, and still take the albums out regularly to look at and enjoy. I sometimes wonder what the advantages and disadvantages are for youngsters who want to start collecting today. On one hand, there is a tremendous variety to choose from, even from British issues alone. They are not restricted to the standard definitive issues (those just bearing the Queen's head and the value), but all the pictorial, booklet and Christmas issues as well. On the other hand, a much greater proportion of mail, domestic and overseas, is automatically franked. I remember getting most indignant as a boy when my father received the occasional communication with one of these boring machine-printed monstrosities, instead of a proper coloured postage stamp. That was back in the (deep sigh) days when there were twenty shillings to the pound. All the same, I'd recommend it as a hobby to anybody, particularly anybody young. (No, I don't mean to be ageist!) There are numerous advantages – the th
rill of building up and organising a collection of what are, in effect, miniature legal documents, often with their own story to tell; being given a bag full of the treasure trove of 'kiloware', an unsorted mixture of absolutely anything, waiting to be checked and soaked off the corners of envelopes or pieces of parcel wrapping from which they have been carefully (we hope) trimmed; the geography lessons you can learn from them (where are Aitutaki? Borneo? Trinidad & Tobago? Prince Edward Island?). Dealers, and also W.H. Smith, sell mixed 'starter' packets of G.B. or whole world at affordable prices for beginners. Above all there is the beauty of the designs, though some are more beautiful than others; the endless categories to choose from, whether you restrict yourself to a particular country, or theme, such as stamps showing animals, birds, flowers, famous paintings et al. My mother still collects 'thematically', and it always makes her day when she or I find another attractive wildlife stamp that she's never seen before. The golden rule is: decide what you want to collect, go for it, and have fun doing it! There are several small books on collecting stamps as a hobby for the beginner, or for general interest browsing. Particularly recommended is the pocket size Collins Gem 'Collecting Stamps', James A. Mackay, 1999 (0004723457, £3.99 from Amazon). For a full illustrated list of what stamps are out there, the long-established bible is the ever-proliferating range of Stanley Gibbons catalogues. Again at the risk of showing my age, I can recall when they published a 'simplified' catalogue in one volume listing everything issued by every country in the world, as well as showing tiny black and white pictures for most of them and giving the price which as dealers they would charge for a copy. Now it has been split into several parts, and there are more specialist titles covering part
icular countries or world regions as well as the standard simplified. A visit to your nearest large public library should reveal several hefty tomes, or alternatively visit their website at www.stanleygibbons.com. 'Collect British Stamps', the Gibbons full colour catalogue of UK issues, is generally reprinted once every few months, and a useful affordable reference work at £7.95. Note – Gibbons prices for stamps are a little on the high side. It's long been standard practice for other high street and postal (and now internet) dealers to sell at approximately two-thirds of the Gibbons catalogue value. Also, at the risk of stating the obvious, a stamp doesn't have to be old to be valuable. Low values from most countries were issued in vast numbers and available for several years, with the result that even many 19th century examples are still plentiful and comparatively inexpensive. I could go on ad infinitum about some of my favourite stamps, about hinges, tweezers, First Day Covers, clubs and societies, forgeries, inverted watermarks, recess printing versus photogravure, phosphor bars, et al, but I'll leave you to seek out specialist details elsewhere if you're interested. I hope this op has provided you with a brief overview and, hopefully, conveyed some of my enthusiasm for what was an abiding passion of mine for years. I'll leave you with a little bit of trivia which I read somewhere. Why does the Queen have a parrot on the top of her head? Look carefully at one of today's definitive stamps and you'll see what I mean.
My dad for as long as I can remember has always collected stamps. He has a collection from all over the world. He was a ham-radio operator and always had people he talked to send him stamps. He spent hours peeling them off the envelopes and putting them with special tape in looseleaf binders. He labeled what countries they came from. He must have like 25 or so of these albums. Stamps are his most prized possession, far more value than anything. He has even left his collection in his will to his kids, thats how important they are to him. He has countries from all over, all the United states, US Mints, first day of issue..to a stamp collector the value is high. His favoriate is the scenery ones. How a beautiful scene could be fitted into a little square amazes him. Stamp collecting brings his may hours of joy. Well this opinion is more about my dad it seems than stamp collecting but I just wanted to stress the importance of having a great hobby for a very long time. Dad was a kid when he started and now he is in his elder years. And it brought him many years of pleasure. It is a great way to learn about the world in little pictures and also alot of history comes from stamps. We all must do what we love and have oulets in life, hobbies that bring the mind joy:)Stamp collecting is a fun, interesting, ageless hobby to become involved with.
I realise stamp collecting is a very popular hobby and I know collectors are passionate about what they do but this is jujst one of these things that I just don't understand. I know that stamps are very interesting pieces of history and I know that it must be a great feeling finding a rare stamp but its just something that doesn't appeal to me. It might be that they are small and I'd like something big and rewarding to collect that can be displayed and presented for all to see but maybe that reflects my personality. I know stamps are a part of history and they are sought after and often very expensive items. They also contain some very detailed artwork and designs. This is just one of these things that simply isn't for me. It could be a very worthwhile and interesting hobby to take up but it just not for me.
Many a time I've had the mick taken out of me for one of my hobbies which I've done on and off since I was a nipper, which is stamp collecting or philately to the more educated amongst you <g>, no doubt a few of you are sniggering right now. Well if you stick with me I'll tell you why I do it and put up with the ridicule. A stamp is far more than a piece of paper with a picture on it or a commodity to be traded, it is a snapshot of time, space and history. Every single one has a story to tell whether they are used or not. Take the humble Penny Black - not as rare as you might think - it has managed to survive well over a hundred years from the 19th century and a world very different from ours today, it may still be attached to the original letter which could be a testament to the life of one of our ancestors. They are all produced to serve a pedestrian everyday purpose but each different design marks a turn in history in a different part of the world, perhaps a rise in postage rates to subsidise relief efforts in some long forgotten disaster or a new war in some far flung part of the world. Even the commemerative stamps produced today, which are largely to make money from the collectors, mark some occasion like the Olympics or a Royal wedding which we can look back on as another part of our history. On top of all thet they are also miniature works of art, have you ever taken time to look at the stamp which you lick and plonk on your letter, each one is crafted to perfection by artists. So take the michael if you will, at the end of the day I love history and those little bits of paper are a physical link to a different time and place, some quite recent and others long long ago.

I am now 26, but clearly remember the hours of devotion I gave as a young "lad" to my stamp collection. I think stamp collecting is a phase that young boys in particular go through. When I first met my (at the time girlfriend), who now happens to be my wife, she could not believe the amount of collections that I had accumulated over the years as a child, one of these being about 3 very thick albums of stamps. I use to spend hours on my "production line of stamp collecting" - first tearing off the "pretty" stamp from the envelope, then asking Mum to boil the kettle. I then had a tray of boiling water, on which I would place the stamp for it to gradually float off. I then picked it off with a pair of tweezers and placed it on kitchen roll for it to dry. I'm sure the puritan stamp collectors (or philatelists) would not advice on such a method, but as a child, the anticipation was the best part! A trip to WHSMith ensued, with pocket money in hand, to buy a collection pack of wild animals, sport, royalty or whatever stamps, some of which were from countries I had never even heard of (and never will since). Loose change was spent on the essential item: Stanley Gibbons stamp hinges!! These were like tiny bits of tracing paper, with pleasant tasting adhesive on both sides, one would affix to the back of the stamp, the other onto the page of the album. Once stuck though, they were a devil to get off, and many a ripped stamp was gained, much to my annoyance. Children today do grow up very quickly, with current trends and media deciding children's hobbies. I would love to see children's innocence kept intact, a great way of doing this is to encourage your child to stamp-collect. Now, "first day covers", there's another story.....
Stamp collecting can either be an interactive hobby where one collects stamps just for the fun of it and at the same time broadening one's knowledge of the world around us. One of the most interesting aspects of stamp collecting is the off chance of coming across a "flaw". A flaw is a stamp which has a defect of some kind. The chances of finding such stamps are very rare, nevertheless it is known that these stamps exist and philatelists across the world are always on the lookout for such specimens. When found, they are considered as jewels in the philatelic world ! Taking up stamp collecting, you will be joining the multitude who live in the hope of finding such a specimen to add to their collection. All stamp collectors and traders have to be very wary because there are a lot of facimilies around, (modern technology making it easier for crooks to make replicas), it is very difficult to differenciate between an original and a fake. Stamp collecting is known as Philately and is a very rewarding hobby because it immensely enhances the general knowledge of the collector. Through stamp collecting, one finds information about currency, science, history, architecture, politics, arts, customs and rituals of different peoples and countries of the world.
A couple of things to add: Collections with a theme are usually more interesting than collections of a country - Penguins are more interesting that Pakistan. In the UK, a really good source of stamps is charity shops. These tend to have the collections of old people who have given up. My experience is that they usually have hoards hidden under the counter at extremely low prices and often arranged by themes...but you do havbe to ask for them. Finally, stamps provide a really good, easy hobby for kids which is cheaper than Pokemon!!!

I know this thread is old, it will keep me from starting a new one. I have a lockup tranny I am trying to use in my T bucket. I have been told that I need a 2400-2600 stall converter because of the light weight. Now, can I get a 2400-2600 stall converter to work in my tranny WITHOUT the lockup feature being used?
My engine is a stock 1984 350 SBC, which is rated at 160 HP . I think the stock stall converter will work. Any comments?
Last edited by tfeverfred; 08-10-2007 at 01:35 PM.
you can purchase a stall speed converter for the t-350C with the converter clutch removed.
they usually cost more than a regular t-350 stall converter
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Jeez, one more question. Would I be able to use the stock 1500 stall converter in a 2,000 lb T bucket running the low HP engine?
IMO, I would never put a 2500 stall converter in a 2000 lb car with a stock engine. If i was building it i would run the stock converter.
as the weight goes down the stall must go up..... a V-8 powered T-bucket is very light and needs more stall .... otherwise the engine is pushing against the brakes while the vehicle is at a stop even with a bone stock engine
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
When a car is sitting still idling with the brakes applied, the weight of the car has no effect on the stall speed. So with the stock converter & stock engine there should be no creep at idle with the brakes applied. When you start moving, it may flash to a lower rpm, but I doubt that it will be noticed. When you take a stall converter rated at a certain rpm stall & put it in a heavier vehicle or behind a torquey engine the stall speed will go up quite a bit. Me personally, I would stick with the stock converter for your application. jtyler
Obviously I am not sure how many T-buckets and performance cars you have worked on... I've worked on many.
Weight , gear ratio , tire size, engine specs all effect how a converter acts sitting still , during take off or at speed.
As an example; a heavier vehicle (4x4) , big tires with 3.08 gears will act way different from a light car (T-bucket) with the same engine & trans combo in each vehicle.
A stock converter and stock engine will try to push a light weight car like the T-bucket. You can also get the same effect in a glass bodied street rod like a 32 roadster.
Many folks add a small to moderate camshaft to get the rump-rump sound from the engine that fits a hot rod... that really adds to the push of the light weight car if the stock converter is used.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
You are right, I havn't built any t-buckets or glass bodied cars. Most of my experience has been with big block full bodied muscle cars. If you have seen through your experience a stock engine with stock stall push a light glass bodied car at idle, I guess the guy should install a small stall converter. I have experimented with different stall converters in heavier cars and you are right. For example a 2500 rpm converter in a 2000 pound car will stall higher in a heavier car or just the opposite in a lighter car. In a really light car you would have a lower stall speed because their is less weight resisting movement of the car. I wouldn't have thought that it would have been enough to be bothersome with a stock engine,but if he has seen it, then take his advice. The lightes car I ever built with an automatic was 3200 pounds. jtyler----didn't mean to mislead
no harm , no foul.... I like to see different input from folks.
I've spent many years in the performance end of transmissions.
A 2500 stall converter can feel / drive like a stock 1200 - 1500 rpm converter in a light weight T-bucket.
I keep track of this stuff since often the engine needs to be lifted out to swap the converter in a T-bucket. Some guys build stuff so tight and with a non-removable cross member under the trans
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.

Yarmouth Mountian Cem ?
Do live any where near the Yarmouth Mountain Cemetery? I was wondering if you do could you take photos of two relative of mine. They are 1. Butler, Sophia K. (Kendrick), no. 112449260, and 2. Harris, Sarah Deborah (Kendrick), no. 113180663, and their husbands. I know the weather is ideal now.

Elizabeth Trefry
Hi Char, Thanks for adding Trefry graves to the site. I am from Michigan so traveling to Nova Scotia is a major trip for me. I am wondering about Elizabeth - Joshua Pittman and Mary Allen married Nov 9, 1762 in Marbelhead, MA and had a daughter Elizabeth born about 1764. Capt. Joshua you listed as dieing 7 Feb 1820. Could this Elizabeth be a daughter instead of the wife of Joshua P.? This is my late husbands' family. Our Trefry's came to the Jackson Co., MI area in the 1850's.

While illegal aliens languish in the shadows, American citzens have the white hot light of the government shining on every aspect of their lives. From phone calls to social media to internet activity, Americans are being tracked in every way. But, you argue, if I just jettison all electronic devices I can still walk around in anonymity. Well, they have that covered too.
Rarely do I relate a personal story on this blog, but in this case it really isn't about just me; it's about all of us. I like to jog, and take my long runs on the weekends. That means a couple of hours or so along the local running trails. With temperatures reaching the mid-90's, it was a mistake any way you slice it, but to add insult to injury I found that I had company-uninvited company.
Laboring down the trail I heard a whine over my head. There are model airplane enthusiasts in that area, but they are relegated to a certain section of the park. This was a good two miles from there. I looked up and saw it. A drone, right there, no more than-with my poor judgment 100-200 feet overhead. It was round, all black and had arms protruding around it, resembling a flying spider, very similar to the photo. It appeared (at least to me) to slow as it passed overhead. I gave it my best one finger salute and it continued on, over a bank of trees and out of signt.
Had this thing been following me? Was it just flying around in general? Was it one of model airplane guys with a new toy? I eliminated the last possibility. Too far away. That left either following me or just flying around in general. Unless whoever was controlling the thing reads this blog I came to the conclusion that it wasn't there for me. It was there for all of us.
I've spoken before about the new America. As Barack Obama repopulates the United States as we speak, you have to ask, is any of this for us, or is it for the what will become the country formerly known as the United States. Certainly the third world were unable to run a country, so what to you do with the occupants of those countries when they are now United States residents? How about monitoring phone calls, social media, internet activity, and even physical movements. And that's scratching the surface. Thinking of it that way, the future of America is even uglier than at first glance.

Re: Little Home
Great design, but as another commented, the pocket color is a bit odd. Also, since I always tuck in my shirts, I could never wear this, as half of the mouse would be hidden below my belt. Image placement is an important factor for me.

What people say about GWCA and CAN…
I called GWCA because I found "my daughter" and she was listed with GWCA. We had already started with another agency, so we would have to switch. Jessie was immediately helpful, kind, and courteous. She took her time to talk to me and discuss all my questions in great detail. Now just a few short weeks later, we find ourselves matched with our daughter and could not be happier! We are beyond thrilled with the service we have been given up to this point!

As we were in the process of sorting through countries and agencies, I have exchanged emails & phone calls with CAN, and I have been entirely impressed with the timeliness, patience, and specificity when answering any questions I have had. I have felt hope in what we feel like God is calling our family to, that with the right people working alongside us, it will happen! I have also loved all of the resources available through the website.
Lora was a pleasure to work with. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect blend of excellent attributes. I would recommend Lora as a referral counselor with no reservations and give her high marks all around.

Very pleased with the entire travel phase – great job Kayley!!!Kayley made the travel phase seamless and stress free! She explained in detail everything that would take place, what steps we needed to do and everything worked out exactly as she stated. It made this portion of the total adoption process the easiest and least stressful. The entire travel phase (before and in China) was great! The guides in China were also amazing! Emma and Kelly went above and beyond and really made the stay more of a 5 star guided event. They took care of everything, so that we could focus on our new son, without having to worry about what paperwork or meeting we had to be at next.

Despite living in Minnesota and Great Wall headquarters being based in Texas, I always felt I was treated as if I were family. My questions and concerns were always promptly addressed. After a wonderful experience the first time around, I couldn't imagine using any other agency for my second!

We are so glad we chose the Premier Plan! The best part about the Premier Plan includes Great Wall staff completing the dossier for you. We would not have been able to complete our dossier within 4 months without using the Plan. We highly recommend it.

What people say about our Matching Specialists…
Heidi always got back to us with clear answers of my questions. We have been bugging her with so many questions in the past months and she never got upset. She maintains high professionalism and positive attitudes. She is a great person to be trust. We are very happy with the service she provided. Thank you l, thank you!
Heidi Rogers provided a wealth of information to us and after speaking with her, my husband and I are very comfortable to work with GWCA during this important time in our lives.
Heidi was so patient with us as we looked through several files and requested updated information. She is very knowledgeable about the process and always very helpful. She has been a joy to work with.
Heidi was amazing to work with! She was very friendly, kind and extremely helpful. She always returned emails or phone calls promptly and answered all of our questions. We were so pleased with the service we received. We are so thankful for all of her help through this process.
Mallory and your whole team are the most efficient, professional and helpful group of people I've dealt with. I can't thank you enough and tell you how nice it is to have someone helping me that sincerely cares & wants to support us through this exciting, but nerve-racking process. Thank you so much for everything!!
Mallory has been wonderful! While the waiting is difficult she has been very proactive in communication and answering questions.
Mallory has been wonderful! Very detailed in explanations, and totally "real" and personable! Her excitement for us adopting was also tremendously encouraging and reassuring for us starting in this overwhelming process!
Your waiting child team is awesome! We were evaluating 3 agencies when we first spoke to Mallory and she was so informative and really made us feel welcome and confident in our choice to proceed with Great Wall. Most importantly she helped us find our son who we are now in process for! We had inquired about him and his file needed a little clarifying and she helped take us through the steps of finding a specialist familiar with international adoptions to help us. She also was able to quickly work with our son's orphanage to get an update that helped us make our decision to move forward. We are so happy we did! Turns out his file was ready to go back in just two days and she was so calm yet quick to respond and guide us through the process of applying and submitting our LOI for him. We are now just days away from probably receiving PA. We are so happy that we chose Great Wall's Waiting Child Team. We would recommend you and already have! Thank you again!
Meredith was wonderful to work with. She was professional and kind. This is my second adoption from China, the first time with GW, and the adoption process is mixed with excitement and nervousness. I;m sure I'm not the only parent that loses their ability to remember even the simplest things during the process and Meredith answered every question, every time, no matter how often it had been re-asked, with patience and kindness. She is a great employee on your team. I have had a great experience with GW throughout my entire process. Ever employee that has spoken to me has been kind and helpful and encouraging. I love the organization that this agency has implemented. I was used to a smaller agency where one person did everything and that was great. I really didn't know how I'd like constantly changing people from one step of the process to another. I understood it was a much larger agency and would need this difference in place and I will say GW has done a great job organizing that process.I would highly recommend GW to anyone. I look forward to the process of bringing my beautiful second daughter home now.
Thank you everyone for making a seemingly impossible dream come true!!
Thank you everyone for making a seemingly impossible dream come true!!
Meredith was absolutely fabulous! She seemed as excited as I was about the whole process of getting matched with our child. I'm sure she had other clients but she made us feel like we were her #1 priority. I'm sure the others felt the same. She answered each question I had and always provided more info. While being encouraging and optimistic, she also let me know of the possible hurdles we could face working with a foreign country as to not paint a picture that wasn't realistic. She was helpful & knowledgeable even in answering questions that weren't necessarily her area or job description. And if I asked anything that wasn't her area, she quickly found out and got right back to me. Meredith and I talked every day and if she didn't live in Texas and I in Indiana, I'm sure we would have been hugging and high-fiving during the steps like "locking" and "pre-approval" etc. I couldn't recommend Meredith and my experience so far with GWCA any higher. They have helped match us with a little girl in China, our daughter, and are working hard to help us bring her home to her waiting family here in Indiana.
Meredith was amazing! She answered all of our questions and responded quickly to emails and voicemail. More than anything, she was a support and encouragement to us as we hurriedly gathered and completed our documents. It was a pleasure to work with her.
Hilary has been extremely helpful. We've talked several times and our interactions with her essentially cemented our desire to adopt through CAN.
Definitely know that we were in good hands the entire time. We chose to do the dossier ourselves but Hilary was always there to answer questions along the way. We were definitely handled very professionally. Very excited about the next phase and the next expert to work with in the referral process. Ready to bring our son home but understand that it is a process and glad that GWCA is with us along the way.
Hilary was amazing! My initial interaction with Hilary was back in October 2015 when I called with several questions concerning CAN and their Uganda adoption program. She was so patient with me and prepared, and I really felt at ease on the phone with her. I go off our phone call and in all seriousness said to my husband, "I would go with CAN if it meant I was working with Hilary."
Hilary was wonderful at explaining the process and making sure we were on task. She was also quick to respond to any probems with our dosser so corrections could be made quickly. She was a joy to work with and we wish we would have purchased the dossier service earlier. Thank you Hilary, you are a gift to our family.
Shelby has been an amazing resource and great help with answering all of our questions. She always took the time to speak to me over long periods of time and was able to offer helpful advice. We are very appreciative of her support so far and look forward to working together with the rest of the staff.
I LOVE working with the staff at CAN. Cayce and Shelby are awesome!!!!
I LOVE working with the staff at CAN. Cayce and Shelby are awesome!!!!
The website is very informative and Shelby has been extremely helpful and responsive, even providing me with a couple of families that have adopted through Latvia and CAN that I could speak with.
Thanks so much for your hard work. I have appreciated your quick response to emails and calls. This waiting business is not easy and feel that you handled every one of my emails with kindness. Just wanted to say thank you."
Thank you Shelby for all your hard work and for being so involved with us in our journey! We couldn't have asked for a better caseworker to help us bring our daughter home.
Diedra was SPECTACULAR! We struggled with our home study agency as far as quality of work and well, just reaching them, so the paper chase process was frustrating for us. Diedra was there for us and when we couldn't reach our social worker, I could always reach Diedra. In fact, Diedra's advice and information were actually more accurate than the information we received from our local home study agency. Diedra made this portion of the journey much more enjoyable and EASY for us! Thank you so much Great Wall…thank you for Diedra! She is truly an asset to your organization and an angel to the families she works with! 🙂
Diedra did a great job of helping us get matched with our little girl! After reviewing multiple files, she encouraged us to hang in there until the right child for our family came along! We have felt that she really cares about these waiting children and finding their family! After working with Diedra for almost 2 years, I have really learned to appreciate her and how knowledgeable she is about the adoption process!
We were blown away by the service provided. Having each task broken down into achievable steps made it so much easier than we anticipated. And if ever there was a question, Diedra Connolly had the answer for us – immediately!
We feel really lucky to be working with Ms. Connolly and with Great Wall.
We feel really lucky to be working with Ms. Connolly and with Great Wall.
There are not enough words with which to sing Diedra's praises. Diedra is amazingly talented, always helpful, patient, kind, understanding and simply brilliant. Diedra is a credit to GWCA and a gift to any adoptive parent fortunate enough to work with her.
Travel was a great experience for us! Our paperwork was caught in a delay that caused us to wait 4 weeks (if I recall correctly) for TA. During that time we because frustrated as we watched other families obtain theirs in 3-4 days. Kayley was fantastic and took lots of time to explain everything to me over the phone. When we ended the call, I felt much more comfortable. Kayley even went above and beyond to email us each waiting day after our call to tell us one way or another if we had TA. This was great because our TA for our kiddos came on separate days.
Travel itself was planned very well! We enjoyed the tours, and the days were planned well to allow good amounts of free time throughout our trip. We also appreciated Heidi's preparation call.
We look forward to working with Great Wall again someday for another adoption!
Molly was very helpful during what was an incredibly overwhelming process. Although all the written instructions are very helpful, there is SO much to know and understand and we needed a lot of clarification on parts of the process. To first time families the instructions are like reading a foreign language. I don't know about other families but there was such a fear of doing something incorrectly and having it sent back and then losing time over it. Needing to make sure we were crossing all "t's" and dotting all "i's" meant a lot of phone calls and emails to Molly and she was always patient with us and willing to explain (even if it wasn't the first time). I was more than a little obsessed with timelines and while I know I drove Molly crazy with a lot of calls she was never impatient and seemed to genuinely understand all the emotion involved in this process. We appreciated all she did for us very much.

I like both of them, for different reasons. I like CK because it seems to add lots of extra definition for me and reduced frizz quite a bit. I'm one to layer one or two products together, and I love that CK layers with anything. It's also really easy to distribute, which is great for a clutz like me. The scent isn't my favorite, but after it dries I don't notice it.
RR is really good for curl enhancement, but the drawback is that I need a lot of it to distribute through my hair. It works pretty well with either a gel or with the
for me, though I do have a hard time figuring out how much of each to use. I've had a lot of great hair days with RR, though, and I love Jessicurl's scents.
