This is a discussion on Air Conditioning within the Interior Mods forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; I don't know if this is the place to address this, but does anybodyelse's A/C suck? I have a wagon ...
I don't know if this is the place to address this, but does anybodyelse's A/C suck? I have a wagon and for some reason it never really gets cold.
My A/C performance in the heat and humidity of Honolulu is less than stellar. Not TERRIBLE per se, but it's wanting. :-(
I was just about to ask that question. The A/C in my sedan never gets cold enough. Does this happen just because of the way Subies are made? or is there an actual problem?

Mine works great. Gets me cold even when its 105 and very humid out. I've never had a problem with it.
do those that think the AC is great have tinted windows, I grew up in Florida, and found that tinted (even lightly) windows make all the difference in the world. My A/C is sub-par, but i attribute it to not have the windows tinted on a black car. All of my previous vechiles have had heavily tinted windows and the AC has always been stellar.

Mine aren't tinted.
I don't have a problem with mine. It doesn't freeze water, but it gets it plenty cool compared to outside.

Starting with the rear sway bar and anti-lift kit...one day....I have faith
my ac is awesome...no tints, kickson in 10 seconds and ice cold
Suck is probably too strong a term but on hot days (100+) I've noticed it's not quite as chilly as various Hondas and Acuras and US rental cars I have driven extensively.Originally posted by Stuss76

A/C is VERY weak, even compared to Outbacks. I've been spoiled by VW and GM but I still find my level of cooling to be unacceptable, took it to the dealer and of course was told that everything is functioning properly, and cooling is to spec (45 degrees at the center vents) I find that hard to believe as even in 60 degree weather with no sun the car still never gets cold, just cool, but never cold. In my other vehicles I've always had to turn the fan to low and add some heat, even when the temps get into the 80's. Oh well, a minor fault, it is better than no air conditioning at all!!! Aw shucks, I won't complain about it ever again!
so take out the AC and ur car will be a little faster...there ya go
SOLUTION. I had the same problem. Here's the solution..
Having problem with AC?
Believe it or not, my AC is too cold now.
I have a black wagon and it never gets as cold as I'd like- it definitely blows freezing cold air, but it's nowhere near as cold in the car as my GTP was- by the way, if you have a wagon, it helps to drive with the back windows rolled down for a few minutes, to let the hot air out- I also noticed that it doesn't get quite as cold when I have it on the "let outside air in" setting on the dash. You should be getting cold air- if you're not then something's wrong. I went from V8's to V6's and now to a four banger- it always seems that the larger engines are able to pump out more cold air from the A/C compressor. Just food for thought.
Mine gets cold as hell...ur...antarctica. Make sure the arrow is pointing at the extreme edge of the blue bar. Blue=cold and red=hot.
Floats like a butterfly and stings like when I pee!
Are you serious? It probably would help to have the car on as well right? Maybe I should open those vent things too. Mine is plugged in and still doesn't get very cold. My wife's Jetta gets soooooo much colder. Oh well.

cast iron tub removal help
Hello, I have a 1950s ranch with a nice tall crawlspace.
BACKGOURND: Some of the subflooring (and one joist) have become rotten due to a leak at the corner of my bathtub (where it meets the vinal flooring) and under the toilet (damaged ring maybe?). So, I need to remove the tub and toilet, fix the subfloor, and put them back.
QUESTION: I've been doing a lot of research because I can only afford to do this myself and haven't before. My question at the moment is for some hints about how best I can remove the tub, which is cast iron, and then put it back in later. Time is not an issue.
Thank you in advance!
Will you be replacing the tile?
Toilet is easy. The tub is incased in tile. Wall tile and floor tile. The tile needs to be cut back enough to free the tub. Since this is a 1950's era house, that's alot of tile. The tub is 60 long. If you measure tile to tile across the back you'll get about 57-58 " You will need to take out on one side abour 2-3" of tile. The other side about 12-16" so the tub can be lifted out, stood up on end ,rotated , picked up and removed. You will need to take out a few inches of floor tile also.
Can you match the current tile. Unless the previous owner has a stash that came with the house, the answer is no.
You will need to go out and find a complementy tile. It can't be the same size because the 4x4 tile of 1950 is not the 4x4 tile of today. Today's tile is thinner and shorter.
Personally, I would gut the bath and redo it . The plumbing is old, the waste pipes are like clogged arteries. You will put all this effort in, maybe it will look good. That depends on you skill level, but the core will fail and you'll have to rip out the walls to get to the plumbing.
Do it once and do it correctly.
Eventually, this entire bathroom will be completely changed. The only thing I'd afford to do now is fix the subfloor/joist and change the sheet vinyl on the floor to tile.
redline: Good question, because money is a big issue here, I do not want to buy anything new unless i have to. So, if I can do this without replacing all of the tile, I will.
Ron6519: There is not any tile on my floor, it is sheet vinyl. I am not worried about matching new wall tile, I hate what is there now anyways. I would love to gut the entire bath and replace everything, but I simply cannot afford it now. All I am worried about now is the fact that the subfloor is rotten and it is my only full bath.
NEW QUESTION: I take it the tub is simply sitting there where it is, in other words, the only thing that actually attaches it to the floor or walls is silicone so once I chip away some of the tile as Ron suggests (and detach the drain/pipe), it's just a matter of muscle power to lift it out. Correct? Are there any tricks like cutting around the edges with box cutter or something like that to make it easier?
Thank you both, I really appreciate it.
What floor is this bathroom on? (1st, 2nd...)
My house is one story.
just from that photo I cant really tell how big the room is but if its a small room you may want to remove the sink also to give yourself some room to move that tub and get a few good strong friends ( promise them lots of beer)I recently removed a cast iron tub and just cut it up and it was still a pain their was not much holding it in place except pure dead weight
Is there a basement below this bathroom?
Thank you clasact, The room is very small, notice in the photo that you can see the entry door. It is only as wide as the tub is long.
redline: There is not a formal basement under the bathroom, but there is a +5ft tall crawlspace, so it's very easy to get under the bathroom to see the damage. Note that there is not any insulation under floorboards and no plywood either.
I do not like to tell you this but your chances of getting that tub out without major construction is not good. If money is an issue you might be better off to wait a year until you can get enough together. In a bathroom that small I do not see a way a DIY can do the work you need to do. I know this is not what you want to hear but some times the truth hurts. Please let us know how it goes. I have been wrong before but this looks like a tough job with a limited budget.
A sledge hammer will make easy work of a cast iron tub. Everyone told me to "oh just trim and lift one edge up, it'll come right out". It never worked out for me and I got the sledge. Problem solved in 10 minutes.
Maybe you could put a new tub/shower kit in, then you wont have to retile around the tub and you will be able to access your plumbing and fix that as well.
But in all honesty, you're going to be doing like 40% of that bathroom remodel with this, so just suck it up and do it all! The way I see it:
floor tile $100 (there's always clearance stuff in your small quantity)
tub/walls $300
sink/vanity $200
toilet $200
misc: $200
That's a $1000. Come on who doesn't have $1000 for something this important.
any chance you have a construction salvage place near you.They buy stuff from contruction sites that was ordered wrong or the HO changed their mind at the last min.You can get windows doors sinks sometimes tub and toilet for about half the price as going to a store.That would save you alot because I really agree with Warnerww and in such a small area it is going to be one heck of a job to get that out and you will end up tearing up most of the room anyway.If that just not a option at this time you may want to just get under it so as to get some suport on the joist or sister in a new one for the time being until you get the money to fix it all or should I say tear it all out.Sorry but I have been where you are going
What if you fixed the source of the leak now. Shore up the damaged sub-floor from the bottom and when you get ready to remodel the bath do it right and do it once. Most likely you'll be doing more damage with the tub removal than what you may be thinking. In a demo situation it's an easy removal, smash and go, salvage is a whole 'nother story.
Does your tub go from wall to wall? If it does, my experience tells me it is more than muscle power to remove. Unless you have complete access no tile, no drywall etc. to the full length of the tub it'll not come out easily. Remember, the tub goes in right after the framing and everything else is ran up to or sits on top of the tub edge. So the minimum space you probably need to get the tub our is from stud to stud, not wall to wall.
Can you post a photo taken in the crawlspace of the damage near the tub and toilet?
There may be a few different ways to do this without removing the tub.
Is this the only bathroom?
Or do you have another one that you could use if this one is being repaired?

When is it going to be spring?! I'm tired of going for walks in my dorky plaid coat! My mommy says it's to keep me warm. But seriously I think she just likes to embarass me!
Plus I'm not taken to the dog park nearly enough on account of all the mud out there. I don't know why, it's just mud! I think I may be getting cabin fever. If it weren't for my morning and evening walks I'd surely go stir crazy!
Hi all! I hope everyone is having a great holiday season!
Since this is my first Christmas I'm really excited for Christmas Day to come. I know there are presents for me under the tree because mommy pointed them out to me. It's all a pup can do to not open them while mommy and daddy are at work. I have had to keep myself busy by eating the cats' food and chewing mommy's slippers. and updating my Dogster profile of course! I'm glad mommy showed me how to use this computer!
This morning mommy and daddy told me to start making a list of New Years resolutions. I really don't know what that means, but mommy said that it's things I want to do or accomplish or not do in the new year. So I thought about it while I was raiding the litterbox for a treat and really couldn't think of anything. I'm practically perfect in every way. Then when I was chewing mommies favorite slippers I was thinking maybe I should try and cut back on the dog cookies. But I really don't eat all that many because once I'm done eating my food then the cats food i'm not all that hungry. So maybe I should concentrate on what to do and not what NOT to do. Since I'm really just the most perfect dog in the world. Maybe I'll try and learn to 'stay' or 'lie down'. Maybe.

The Horse-Stealers and Other Stories HTML version
An Actor's End
SHTCHIPTSOV, the "heavy father" and "good-hearted simpleton," a tall and thick-set
old man, not so much distinguished by his talents as an actor as by his exceptional
physical strength, had a desperate quarrel with the manager during the performance, and
just when the storm of words was at its height felt as though something had snapped in
his chest. Zhukov, the manager, as a rule began at the end of every heated discussion to
laugh hysterically and to fall into a swoon; on this occasion, however, Shtchiptsov did not
remain for this climax, but hurried home. The high words and the sensation of something
ruptured in his chest so agitated him as he left the theatre that he forgot to wash off his
paint, and did nothing but take off his beard.
When he reached his hotel room, Shtchiptsov spent a long time pacing up and down, then
sat down on the bed, propped his head on his fists, and sank into thought. He sat like that
without stirring or uttering a sound till two o'clock the next afternoon, when Sigaev, the
comic man, walked into his room.
"Why is it you did not come to the rehearsal, Booby Ivanitch?" the comic man began,
panting and filling the room with fumes of vodka. "Where have you been?"
Shtchiptsov made no answer, but simply stared at the comic man with lustreless eyes,
under which there were smudges of paint.
"You might at least have washed your phiz!" Sigaev went on. "You are a disgraceful
sight! Have you been boozing, or . . . are you ill, or what? But why don't you speak? I am
asking you: are you ill?"
Shtchiptsov did not speak. In spite of the paint on his face, the comic man could not help
noticing his striking pallor, the drops of sweat on his forehead, and the twitching of his
lips. His hands and feet were trembling too, and the whole huge figure of the "good-
natured simpleton" looked somehow crushed and flattened. The comic man took a rapid
glance round the room, but saw neither bottle nor flask nor any other suspicious vessel.
"I say, Mishutka, you know you are ill!" he said in a flutter. "Strike me dead, you are ill!
You don't look yourself!"
Shtchiptsov remained silent and stared disconsolately at the floor.
"You must have caught cold," said Sigaev, taking him by the hand. "Oh, dear, how hot
your hands are! What's the trouble?"
"I wa-ant to go home," muttered Shtchiptsov.
"But you are at home now, aren't you?"

The six-part epic covering the lives of two families in 19th Century America will be shown on BBC Two next year.
"We're really pleased to continue our relationship with the eminent Steven Spielberg," said the BBC's head of programme acquisitions, George McGhee.
Recent Spielberg mini-series screened on the BBC have included Second World War drama Band Of Brothers.
"The scale and investment in this magnificent epic is something that we could not reproduce on the BBC," added Mr McGhee.
He said he was "delighted" that viewers in the UK would be given chance to watch the drama, of which Spielberg is executive producer.
Into The West covers the period 1825-92 and the different experiences of two families - one Virginians and the other plain-dwelling Native Americans.
The Lakota tribe's way of life is threatened by the pioneers, which is at the heart of Spielberg's latest small screen drama.
The programme made its debut in the US on the TNT channel last Friday, with a cast that features Beau Bridges, Matthew Settle and Gary Busey.

Ryan Tannehill tossed a short TD pass to rookie TE Dion Sims in the fourth quarter, rallying the Miami Dolphins past the Atlanta Falcons 27-23.
The Falcons looked great early on, taking a 10-0 lead behind the stellar play of QB Matt Ryan.
The win puts the Dolphins at 3-0 for the first time since 2002. The loss drops the Falcons to 1-2.

I'm thinking of starting to work for myself
I've been thinking about starting up a house cleaning business. I've wanted to work for myself for years now, and I think this is the best way to start up with little cost and work at it part time and get to a point I can transition from my full time job to working for myself without missing income. I've been doing all kinds of research online on how to get going with something like this, and how I'll have to file taxes and such.
I'm wondering if anyone has done work like this or knows someone who has. I'm still trying to decide if charging by the hour or by the job would be a better way to go. I'm not sure how I should bill clients either. I've got a lot that I'm still trying to figure out. If anyone has any tips or suggestions or things I should consider, I would love to hear them.

someone on here just expanded her business....im thinking the same next year when my son goes to school, i believe the lady on here charges by the job.....i think i'd do 2 levels, the basic cleaning and then if they want showers scrubed, or fridge cleaned out...etc...would be extra per job....09-28-2006, 11:43 AM #3
I know someone who does this. She also charges differently for light housekeeping and heavy housekeeping. I believe she charges by the hour for homes and by the job for businesses.
I have looked into housekeeping for my mil and was told there would be an initial cleaning charge and an hourly charge for a set amount of hours a week after the first heavy cleaning.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements09-28-2006, 11:59 AM #4
I'd call around to the National chains and get a pricing idea from them...as though you were concidering having your house done by them. Kinda underhanded i guess in a way, but you'd know what "the big boys" charge and could adjust your pricing accordingly.10-05-2006, 02:46 PM #5
I have a friend who is a military wife and whereever she goes, she usually recruits another mom and advertises and cleans homes for teachers. It's agreeable to all, as the teachers do their own cleaning in the months that they are out on summer break.
The friend's charges vary, but she charges $60 for a basic maintenance clean on a two bedroom home, going up 15 dollars per bedroom. Extra rooms, like a great room, in addition to a den/livingroom adds another $15 as well. She has no problem getting all the work that she wants to do. She usually cleans two homes a day, while the kids are at school. She takes her own supplies and vacuum,etc. OH, and there's a $10 fee if there's an indoor critter that amounts to extra hair. (She changes the vacuum bag, to prevent problems for other clients who are allergic).
Sit down and think through all the details, write them down.
It's not a bad way to go.

Refine Search function
"Refine search" function is to make listing search process more effective and convenient for users.
Users can dynamically filter job or resume search results on search results page.
If this feature is enabled by Administrator it will work the following way for the site users:
when they make a Search (e.g. Search Jobs) on the Search Results page there will be the "Refine Results" section displayed:
As you can see the 'Refine Results' section displays the list of criteria and specifies the results with number of Jobs meeting those criteria. In our case these criteria are: "State", "City" and "Category".
Thus the 'Refine Search' feature allows the user easily reviewing search results meeting the different criteria (and there's no need to modify the search and get back to Find Jobs form).
For example a user is interested in Jobs of "Accounting" Category. Then he will click on the "Accounting" link in the Refine Results section, like shown on the picture below:
The search will be refined and only results meeting the selected criteria "Accounting" will be displayed in the search results (in our example there are tree jobs meeting this criteria):
In the "Current Search" section (which is above "Refine Results") the currently selected search criteria will be displayed.
And if there are more criteria left that search results meet – they will be displayed in the "Refine Results" section. E.g. the user may click on the "Alabama" to review the resumes meeting both criteria – Category: "Accounting" and State: "Alabama".
If the user need to cancel any of selected criteria – he just need to click on the "undo" icon in front of this particular criteria in the "Current Search" section. Like shown on the picture below:
The search will be refined again and the results meeting all the criteria "Current Search" contains (except the canceled one) will be displayed.
Refine Search settings
To review/edit the Refine Search settings you need to go to Admin Panel > System Configuration > Refine Search Settings.
At the top of the opened page you will see the "Items Limit" setting - it is the number of items to be displayed in each Refine Search block on a front-end:
Below there are Refine Search Settings for all of the existing listing types. By default for Job and Resume listing types:
To make Refine Search available for a certain listing type you need to check the "Turn on Refine Search" box on the top of a Job/Resume Search form, like on the picture above.
On each of the forms you can see the list of fields that currently used as criteria for the Refine Search.
If there are any field(s) you don't want to be used as Refine Search criteria – just click on the red "Delete" icon opposite this particular field(s) in the table.
The field(s) you delete from the Refine Search criteria list will remain in the system, just they will not be used as criteria for Refine Search feature.
Also if needed you can change the order these fields-criteria will be displayed in the Refine Results section. For that use the green pointer (to move an item up) and red pointer (to move an item down).
If you want to add another field(s) to the Refine Search criteria list – you need to select this field in the drop-down list and then press the "Add" button.
E.g. we need to add "Country" field to be used as Refine Search criteria for the Job Search:
This field will be added to the Refine Search criterias and appear in the fields list on the form.
If you create a new Listing Type in the system (E.g. "Tender") – the 'Tender Search' form to configure the Refine Search settings for Tender listing type will appear on the Refine Search Settings page in the Admin Panel. By default it will be disabled and have no fields added as Refine Search criteria.

roof OSB gap
I'm building a house, and I noticed that the framers have a pretty big gap between OSB sheets. Is this a problem? What is the most gap that should be between two sheets of OSB?
Just a Little
An eigth inch is what I've always known it to be and on the horizontal spans using the infamous clips is a good idea. I say infamous because some carpenters don't like them. :yes:
__________________________________________________ _______
News Views Commentary Downloads Tips at the Construction Informer
How big are the gaps you are seeing?
I'd say typically between 1/8" and 1/4" for most of the roof, with a few approaching 1/2". Some of the hip ends are also around 1/2" gap. They are using the clips between them. Is this going to be a big problem?
This is my first house project as a GC, and I am not a framing expert so I decided to find an experienced framer and pay them to check out the work. It looks to me like a few of the trusses may be off alignment and I'm not sure if it's somthing I have to live with or if I should make them tear the whole roof apart to fix. It's a spec house that I'll live in for a few years, but I want it to be right.
A little more investigation
To me 1/2" gaps falling on a 1-1/2" truss member crams the space for nailing, and if the sheathing is anything less than 5/8" (and even if it is) you may find you'll have a rolling appearance to the roof over time. It's not so much individual things but when you take all of the issues together they start to add-up to future trouble. Having a 1/2" gap where you're using clips means the clips are barely holding on. If you will be hanging rock on the bottom truss chords then out-of-alignment trusses are going to mess that up. If you see a series of 1/2" gaps then I'd check the dimensions of the building to see if there is extra space that's been built in. Out of alignment trusses could also signal a dimensional problem somewhere. Maybe pull your exterior dimensions, check for square and see if things are tracking right. Check your on-center dimension between bottom truss chords. If all of that checks out then maybe it's a sloppy job. It's awful early in the process to have these kinds of things since if they are severe enough you could be making up for them every step of the way to completion, to say nothing of passing inspections.
I made them fix it in the areas where the gap was big, along with about 20 other things on the punch list. The LVL holding the garage attic up was delaminating and some of the hip trusses weren't spaced properly. I hired another framer to come in and take a look at the work, and he said overall they did a nice job. I would have hired him in the first place, but at the time he told me he was too busy.
thanks for the advice!

I speak out of the deep of night
out of the deep of darkness
and out of the deep of night I speak.

|On his first day in the fast-food business, Carl N. Karcher took in $14.75. In fiscal year 2007, his namesake CKE Restaurants, Inc. earned revenues of approximately $1.5 billion. The story of CKE Restaurants, and its flagship Carl's Jr.® restaurant chain, is the quintessential American success story. What began as one man's entrepreneurial venture in 1941 has evolved into one of the most powerful entities in the quick-service restaurant industry.
It all began in Los Angeles when an Ohio farmer's son named Carl Karcher was rising before the sun each day to deliver baked goods. Seeing how well business was doing at one of his stops – a hot dog cart at the corner of Florence and Central – Carl and his wife, Margaret, made a leap of faith and borrowed $311 on their Plymouth automobile and added $15 in savings to purchase the business. From their newly purchased cart, they sold hot dogs, chili dogs and tamales for a dime, and soda for a nickel. Within a few years, Carl and Margaret owned and operated four hot dog stands in Los Angeles. In 1945, the Karchers moved the short distance to Anaheim and opened their first full-service restaurant, Carl's Drive-In Barbeque. A year later, hamburgers were added to the menu for the first time.
Business boomed in the postwar years as more Americans came to California to soak up the sunshine. In 1956, Carl expanded his business by opening the first two Carl's Jr.® restaurants in Anaheim and nearby Brea. They were so named because they were junior versions of Carl's original drive-in restaurant. Carl used an innovative system for serving guests. Customers paid for their orders when they were placed, and by the time they had put away their wallets, their food was nearly ready. It was the beginning of a long tradition of Carl's Jr. "firsts" in the quick-service restaurant industry.
Within a decade, Carl was operating 24 restaurants, with a fast-growing reputation for quality food and great service. The company incorporated in 1966 as Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc.
By 1975, there were more than 100 Carl's Jr. locations in Southern California and the company expanded into the northern part of the state. Carl's Jr. celebrated its success by building its Anaheim corporate headquarters in 1976. The following year, it became the first quick-service chain to offer salad bars in all 200 locations. In 1977, a new 149,000-square-foot distribution facility was erected adjacent to the administrative offices. The first out-of-state restaurant opened in Las Vegas in 1979. By the end of the decade, sales exceeded the $100 million mark.
In 1980, the company hired its 10,000th employee, doubling its employee count in just three years. Brothers Carl and Don Karcher were the winning team at the top, serving as chairman of the board, and president and chief operating officer, respectively. In 1981, with 300 restaurants in operation, Carl Karcher Enterprises became a publicly held company. The following year, the first Carl's Jr. in Arizona opened for business. In 1984, Carl's Jr. was franchised for the first time.
Following Don Karcher's untimely death in 1992, a new management team was installed in 1994, headed by CEO William P. Foley II and President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Thompson. Carl Karcher Enterprises became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CKE Restaurants, Inc. (CKE). A revitalization plan was established that included a major remodeling/image enhancement program, along with a dual branding effort with Green Burrito®; an innovative partnership first envisioned by Carl, who was by now CKE's chairman emeritus.
CKE underwent a significant financial restructuring in 2001. This was followed by a multi-year, multi-staged strategy to re-invent the Hardee's brand and re-establish its relevance in the quick-service restaurant industry. Hardee's strategy has included quality, service and cleanliness initiatives, and a new menu and marketing strategy. The Hardee's "Revolution," introduced in early 2003, centered around Hardee's 1/3- , 1/2- and 2/3-pound Angus beef Thickburgers™.
In July 2010, CKE Restaurants was acquired by Columbia Lake Acquisition Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo Management VII, L.P. This new phase allows CKE to continue to grow and succeed as a privately-held company under the ownership of Apollo. The management team and day-to-day operations remained the same.

TOPSHOP playsuit JEFFREY CAMPBELL heels MARC JACOBS purse SABOSKIRT gold cross bracelet ALDO spike bracelet&knuckle ring CC SKYE bracelet MARC JACOBS sunglasses
Working at Topshop I noticed these shorts that were the same material as this playsuit but I think it had some blue in it, and I tried it on but I didn't like it on me. Then I saw Topshop also had the same material but in a playsuit and I absolutely loved it. I never thought I'd ever gravitate towards something in a paisley pattern but I guess you just never know until you try! I always tell my customers, "Don't ever tell yourself you can't wear something. You never know, try on the clothes because you could be amazed at how a piece of clothing can transform from sitting on the rack to sitting on you." And it's absolutely true! So many times I've looked at something and said, there is no way this will look good on me... I try it on and bam. Total transformation. I swear people, you need to try on the clothes don't be lazy bums!!!
As for the heels... My god. I am amazed with Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I never thought I would purchase a pair of heels with a clear heel... Never say never! I really love these heels with the one strap across the ankle and toes, and this heel has that vibe just with thicker straps and heel. They are so comfy and easy to walk in, can't wait to wear them out.

Without an opera there is no overture. Like the musical introduction to a great musical work, Overture, the wine, presents elements of the great work itself, though certainly not in its entirety. (But if the opera is exceptional, then so too will be the overture!)
In keeping with the tradition of many great Bordeaux estates, Opus One produces a fine second wine called Overture. Since 1993, Overture has been crafted as a part of our relentless pursuit of quality for Opus One. Every acre of our estate vineyard is farmed with the attention to detail and singular focus required to produce Opus One. Nevertheless, in any given year, not all of the parcels from our estate are selected for the final blend of Opus One. When these wine lots are afforded additional time in barrel, in combination with the added flexibility of blending across multiple vintages, the final wine achieves a remarkable elegance and complexity that represents a superb expression of our estate. This is Overture.

Paul VI's "miracle" receives medical approval
The Medical Commission of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints chaired by Dr. Patrizio Polisca, Benedict XVI and Francis' personal doctor, has called a healing attributed to Giovanni Battista Montini, Pope Paul VI, "unexplainable". The alleged miracle will now have to be examined by theologians and cardinals before it receives the Pope's approval. But the toughest part is over and it is expected that Montini's beatification will take place in the next few months.
From the list of reported cases of healing which the postulator of Paul VI's cause, Antonio Marrazzo, received, he chose one case which early clinical tests showed as "unexplainable". Marrazzo chose this healing case some time ago. A year ago, on 20 December 2012, Benedict XVI approved the heroic virtues of Paul VI, concluding the canonical process. Only one miracle is required for beatification.
The alleged miracle Marrazzo chose to present to the commission, was the healing of an unborn child witnessed in California in the early 90s. During a woman's pregnancy, doctors found a serious problem in the foetus which normally results in brain damage and advised the mother to abort. The woman refused and decided to go ahead with the pregnancy, trusting in the intercession of Paul V, the Pope who wrote the "Humanae Vitae" encyclical in 1968.
The child was born without any defects but only when the child reached puberty could doctors be certain of whether the child had made a full recovery without any problem. A year ago Fr. Marrazzo told Vatican Radio that "a truly extraordinary and supernatural event had occurred thanks to the intercession of Paul VI." This healing was perfectly in line with the magisterium of Paul VI, who wrote the "Humanae Vitae" in defence of human life, but also in defence of the family because the document talks about conjugal love, not just about unborn life. This healing fits in with Montini's way of thinking."
The debate over the late Pope's cause has intensified over the past year, with doctors exchanging medical opinions until yesterday's final verdict. Speaking at a conference on Paul VI's visit to the Holy Land last November, the Archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Angelo Scola, said the former Pope's beatification "should be relatively imminent."

Twins Minor League Report (8/15): Stewart Sets Career Highs
Outfielder Aaron Hicks has been dealing with a nagging injury. Rochester put him on the 7-day disabled list with a right heel bruise. Since he hadn't appeared in a game for a couple days, the move is retroactive to August 13th. In his six games after being demoted, Hicks was hitting .227/.320/.227 with no extra base hits.
Here's a look at what happened throughout the day on Thursday in the Twins minor league system.
Rochester Red Wings 4, Buffalo Bisons 2
Box Score
PJ Walters was coming off of his poorest outing of the season (2 IP, 7 R, 9 H) so it was important for him to get back on track. He tossed seven innings to pick up the win and this happened even after he had a shaky start at the beginning of the game. He scattered six hits and allowed two earned runs with three walks while striking out four. It was his fourth start of the season where he pitched at least seven innings.
Darin Mastroianni was optioned to Rochester on Thursday and he used the opportunity to break out of an 0-for-15 slump. He had a two-single in the top of the third. The Red Wings used some clutch hitting and a Bisons error to score three runs in the fifth inning. Eric Fryer scored two runs in the game and hit his third home runs of 2013. Eduardo Escobar went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Edgar Ibarra and Michael Tonkin were great in relief of Walters. Ibarra pitched a perfect eighth inning and struck out two of the hitters that he faced. Michael Tonkin earned his 10th save by allowing one hit and striking out one in the ninth. Rochester relievers have picked up saves in 26 of their last 27 opportunities since the beginning of June.
New Britain Rock Cats 3, New Hampshire Fisher Cats 9
Box Score
The Rock Cats pitching staff couldn't buy a break in this game as the Fisher Cats pounced on them. New Hampshire scored nine runs on 16 hits. It took New Britian until the eighth inning to get on the board. This was too little, too late for the Rock Cats.
Trevor May started for New Britain and the results were so-so. He failed to get out of the sixth inning and he was charged with four earned runs on 10 hits. He was able to strike out 10 batters and he was still hitting in the low 90s with his fastball even after throwing over 100 pitches. His last three starts have been less than six innings, which isn't exactly where he needs to be.
Danny Santana had multiple hits for the third time in his last four games. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Daniel Ortiz added two hits and an RBI. Dan Rohlfing was the only other hitter with an extra-base hit, his 13th double of the year.
Fort Myers Miracle 5, St. Lucie Mets 3
Box Score
Fort Myers ended their three game skid with a victory over the Mets. It looked a little scary in the early going as the club fell behind 3-0 after a couple innings. A big four run fifth inning helped to separate the Miracle and the bullpen pitched in with six shutout frames.
Byron Buxton was held to one hit but he was still able to score two runs and steal his 15th base of the season. His single stretched his hitting streak to nine games. Jhon Goncalves and Dalton Hicks both got two hits including a double for each of them. Hicks had an impressive night at the plate with two walks and two RBI. Levi Michael knocked his fourth triple. Stephen Wickens was also able to extend his hit streak to 10 games.
Matt Tomshaw got hit around and he was pulled out of the game after three innings. Luckily the bullpen was ready to perform. Tyler Duffy earned the victory after throwing three shutout frames with two strikeouts. Adrian Salcedo pitched two innings and only gave up one hit. Zach Jones struck out the side in the ninth but he did get into a little trouble with two walks.
Cedar Rapids Kernels 6, Beloit Snappers 5
Box Score
Adam Walker sent the fans home happy in Cedar Rapids with a walk-off double. Jonathan Murphy had started the inning with a single and Niko Goodrum followed this with a hit by pitch. Jorge Polanco tried to bunt to advance the runners but the Snappers got the lead runner at third. Walker stepped up to the plate and cracked his 28th double of the year.
The bullpen for the Kernels was outstanding. Tim Shibuya, Brandon Bixler, and Brian Gilbert combined for five shutout innings. There were no hits in the last five frames and only one batter reached base. Miguel Sulbaran made his first start since being acquired from the Dodgers for Drew Butera. He lasted four innings by giving up seven hits and four earned runs.
Elizabethton Twins 4, Johnson City Cardinals 0
Box Score
Three different E-Twins pitchers combined for a two hit shutout of the Cardinals. Kuo Hua Lo pitched the first five innings and gave up both of the hits. He struck out five and walked two and the victory was his first of the year. Luke Bard got into a little trouble with a couple of walks in his inning of work but he didn't give up a hit. Austin Malinowski was terrific in three strong innings by striking out six and never having a base runner reach against him.
A two-run first inning helped to put the E-Twins on top for good in this one. Rory Rhodes went 2-for-3 and he helped to keep a couple of innings alive. Stuart Turner knocked in a couple of runs with his single. There were no extra base hits for the E-Twins but it didn't matter with the way the pitching staff was throwing.
GCL Twins 4, GCL Rays 6
Box Score
Kohl Stewart set careers highs in strikeouts (5 Ks) and innings pitched (4 IP) but it wasn't enough for the GCL Twins to get back to their winning ways. In their last eight games, the club has lost seven. The defense behind Stewart was full of some holes as there were three errors. Three runs would be scored with Stewart on the mound but he was only charged with one earned run on five hits.
Ivory Thomas knocked in two runs as part of a 2-for-5 day. He added his second double of the year. Jason Kanzler notched his fourth triple of the season and he finished the day 2-for-4. Chad Christensen, Adonis Pacheco, and Ryan Tufts all had two hits and Nelson Molina scored two runs as the number nine hitter.

There's no recession in the art world. A life-size bronze sculpture by Alberto Giacometti went for a world record $104 million, Sotheby's auction house says. It's the most ever paid for art at auction.
The piece, "L'Homme Qui Marche I" ("Walking Man I"), was one of six by the Swiss artist and was cast in 1961.
The seller? The Germany-based Commerzbank, which acquired it a year ago when it bought Dresdner Bank and its art collection, Business Week writes.
Sotheby's said the piece was sold to an anonymous bidder by telephone. Bidding opened at 12 million pounds, roughly $ 24 million.

Brian Hoyer won the quarterback competition over rookie Johnny Manziel, the Browns announced this morning in a news release.
Hoyer will fulfill a childhood dream and be the starter opening day when the Browns travel to Pittsburgh on Sept. 7.
Coach Mike Pettine picked the experience of Hoyer, a North Olmsted native and five-year veteran, over the potential of Manziel, a Heisman Trophy winner and the No. 22 pick in the draft.
"He was the clear leader from the beginning," Pettine said in the release. "We've maintained all along that if it was close, I would prefer to go with the more experienced player. Brian has done a great job in the meeting rooms and with his teammates on the practice field and in the locker room."
Manziel, who leads the league in jersey sales, will begin his career on the bench.
"He's certainly made great strides," Pettine said. "We are pleased with where he is, and he has shown that he has come a long way in his ability to pick up the playbook, be coachable and lead an offense. We are confident that Johnny is going to have a great future, but we just felt that Brian still had a decided edge on him."
Pettine always wanted to name a starter before the third preseason game – Saturday night at home against the Rams – and stuck to his plan despite an inconsistent camp from both quarterbacks and sloppy performances Monday night in a 24-23 loss to Washington.
Hoyer went 2-0 as a starter for the Browns last year before leaving his third start Oct. 3 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. He worked extremely hard to return in time to compete for the starting job.
"I think a lot of people discount that," Pettine said. "Here's a guy coming off of a season-ending knee injury. Really, these are his first, essentially, 20-25 plays of live work back from it, and he's only going to get better.
"I think Brian's been very poised. I think he's handled the situation well. He's had a lot of things going on."
Pettine hadn't made a decision when he talked to reporters Tuesday afternoon but hoped to after a meeting with coordinator Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains. They picked Hoyer and informed the players this morning.

Need help running a sat antenna wire
Installing my sat head unit on / near my dash. What is the easiest way to run the antenna wire from inside dash / ashtray area to the trunk. It's a mag mount so I'm thinking of sticking it on the front end of the trunk lid with the wire running in from the back side. Any help would be great or if you have a better idea. I know the best would be an integrated unit but my old streamer GT gets free service.

Siyo retains SA title in :40
By Ron Jackson
In a complete mismatch Luzuko Siyo smashed Sebelomzi Zimela to defeat in 40 seconds of the first round to retain his South African junior flyweight title at the Orient Theatre in East London on Sunday afternoon. The number ten ranked Zimela (48.70kg) was never in the fight as Siyo (48.70kg) attacked from the bell throwing big shots to the body and within seconds the challenger went down on one knee. He managed to make it to his feet as referee Andile Matakane gave him a standing eight count. Zimela was still on rubbery legs as the champion backed him up before landing a sweeping left hook to the jaw that sent him flat on his back on the canvas. The referee did not pick up the count and waved the fight off immediately.
Due to a lack of crowd control fans were seen jumping into the ring while the stricken fighter was being attended to by the medics, which was rather disturbing after the recent death of Anele Makhwelo in Bloemfontein. After further attention Zimela was able to leave the ring on shaky legs.
Siyo who was making his first defence takes his record to 10 wins with 8 inside the distance and Zimela drops to 10-8; 4. For the record the judges were Simphiwe Mbini, Lulama Mtya and Siya Vabaza.
In the main supporting bout former South African junior bantamweight champion Unathi Gqokoma (52.10kg) who fights from the southpaw stance won the vacant Eastern Cape junior bantamweight title in a hard fought ten rounder against the gutsy Thabo Sishwana (52.15kg). The scores 97-94 twice and 97-95, all for Gqokoma. Gqokoma improved his record 17-5-1; 4 and Sishwana drops to 9-5; 3.
Other results: Junior flyweight: Siviwe Mqakamba beat Sinethemba Magabisela, pts 6; Bantamweight: Onela Qongwana beat Ntobeko Duma, pts 6; Junior welterweight: Mzukusi Mgidi beat Masande Kakaza, ko 3.
The tournament was presented by Mzi Mnguni of Eyethu Promotions.

Yet another Battery drain question
Hey fellas,
New here, went back 10 pages or so of the forum, didn't find similar issue.
Need help locating a battery drain in wife's X3. Last two weeks on Monday had to jump start her car, battery was almost dead. Car sat in a driveway over the weekend. If the car is driven during daily on weekdays, it is completely fine in the morning.
Went to Pep Boys , they did battery test and it is OK, although 4+ years old.
Also, I've noticed that radio panel doesn't completely turns off in the last two weeks when car is locked. The panel and clock stay on. So, is this a possible battery drain (this doesn't look right), and if yes how can I make radio turn itself off? (sorry, not in the manual, and the car is off warranty).
Also, do you recommend replacing battery anyway since it is 4+ years old?
These battery drain issue seem to crop up occasionally on the forum; but I can't recall anyone ever finding a definitive solution/culprit. Rather than scrolling down the list of threads, try the search utility using a few key words like "radio" and "battery drain." The consensus seems to be that some module (in your case, perhaps it's the radio head) isn't going to 'sleep' when the vehicle is locked.
By design, the radio head is supplied with power for a period of time after the engine is shut off, or until a door is opened. Sounds like something in that path isn't getting set properly... Either way, my memory tells me that the radio/clock display should go out immediately after the engine is shut off. Over time, this could be the source of the battery drain; I had a similar problem develop in the radio head of my '97 GMC Jimmy, and the battery would be dead after only a few days of sitting idle in that state. You may need to employ the same solution I did for my Jimmy (replace the radio head)... In the short term, you may need to try pulling the fuse on the circuit that supplies power to the radio head when the ignition is off (which is, again, what I did with my Jimmy until I could obtain a replacement radio head).
Thanks , I give it a try and see what I can dig. Don't want to replace battery and find out that nothing changed.
I had battery drain it was Bluetooth module I removed the module since my car didn't have necessary components formitmand no longer have any problems.
Thanks. Unfortunately can't deactivate it. My wife uses Bluetooth all the time, she would rather buy a new car than have it deactivated.
You can try unplugging blue tooth module its in the back left corner pocket in trunk and clean all the contact points on the harness and module. People have seen success in fixing the drain by doing this.
Traced my issues to the audio head unit. Noticed that aftermarket GPS that plugs in the back of the head unit did not turn off sometimes - ie GPS remained powered up long after ignition is off. Never an issue if I turn off the head unit manually before exit the car. You might try this for a while and see if cures your issue - at least will isolate the problem to the audio head unit. I can leave car standing for 2-3 weeks now with no issue.
Hello. I recommend replacing the battery.3 to 4 years old is long life for a battery although batteries that live inside the vehicle usually last a while longer.Also use a amp clamp to check for drain.it is a meter that hooks around the negative cable.it should be no more than 250 milli amps,there is a 1000 milli amps in 1 amp.make sure when checking for a drain that there is nothing on .if door is open roll the latch,you can always tell when bmw goes to sleep because the park shift light goes out. replace battery start fresh.goodluck
The TCU (Bluetooth) is probably the culprit. It has a tendency to not go into the sleep mode (and keeps trying to pair). You could buy a newer version TCU or purchase a ULF (ULFs don't have this problem).
My 2006 X5 had the same battery drain. One weekend we didn't use it at all and on Monday morning it was completely dead. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they said it was the bluetooth TCU that would not allow the vehicle to go to sleep and therefore needed to be replaced. Instead of paying $650 to replace the module I just had them disconnect it. This was a year ago and I haven't had an issue, but yesterday after reading in this forum about cleaning the TCU connections could possibly solve the issue I decided to reconnect the TCU.
How can I tell if the vehicle goes to sleep? The bluetooth stops working when I turn of the vehicle but not sure how to tell if the vehicle is completely asleep.
Also, could the phone model have any thing to do with the TCU not going to sleep? I previously had a blackberry when the problem first occurred, but now I use a iPhone 4S and 5.
Good luck
Appreciate it, it looks like it is going to sleep now.
Me too!
Dead at the airport on Friday after returning from a six day trip. Fortunately Logan (Boston) airport has an excellent, free auto assistance service, and we got a jump.
So, I know there are quite a few threads on this topic, so sorry if I picked the wrong one. Maybe there should be a single, sticky thread?
Anyway, was hoping that someone had solved this definitively. I have a current-clamp, DC Ammeter, and I'm a EE, so I have troubleshooting skills. But where to look?
I was toying with the idea of just installing a low-voltage cutoff on the accessory lead from the battery, and resetting it to start if I found the car dead. Or maybe install a second, emergency starting battery.
However, it would be best to find the culprit. Any evidence would help. Detecting "sleep" is a good one; are we sure it's the LEDs mentioned above? Is the sleep delay adjustable?
Expect the current to go 4A-1.8A-40mA after 16 minutes. Opening any door etc restarts the countdown. Random current drain can sometimes be caused by the nav drive not sleeping, or the older gen TCUs waking up in the night and trying to call home and hanging there.
Although I have isolated the culprit in my X3 - namely the stereo head unit, I still carry one of these:
This will jump start a 3.0liter Diesel - about the heaviest start current you will find - so although very small will do the job. Not ideal solution but nice to have in the vehicle.
If I could work out a way to automatically turn the head unit on and off after I turn off the ignition I would have a sure fire fix.
When we lived in Colorado in the 70's we used to take some extreme back country trips in our CJ5. To minimize the risk of getting stranded in the middle of nowhere I ran dual batteries isolated with a heavy duty relay. Key "on" would close the relay and connect both while the engine was running. When you turned the key off the relay would open disconnecting it. The second battery had virtually nothing connected to it so there was no way for it to be drawn down with the key off. I also ran a pair of KC Daylighters and a pair of Aris Flamethrowers so having two batteries helped for that as well. The good old days.:)
I had thought of permanently wiring this little beastie in a similar manner as it is small enough to fit in the rear near the battery but the relay . . . too much current when a diesel starts for any relay I know off so I go for the KISS principal and know I can jump start manually if required.
An old Ford starter relay would take the load but I'm not sure it could handle "continuous duty".
BMW's don't lend themselves well to this kind of tinkering anyway. An old Defender 90 or Land Cruiser would be an entirely different story.

I think you have a Manduca sexta. I have never heard them referred to as Carolina Sphinx, the name that the iNaturalist search supplied. I have usually heard Manduca sexta called the tobacco hornworm even though it is found on tomato plants more commonly than M. quinquemaculata, the species called tomato hornworm.

School Reverses Course on Christian Song Ban
A California elementary school has decided to allow a kindergartner to perform in an upcoming talent show after the student was initially banned because the song had Christian lyrics.
Follow Todd on Facebook for Culture War News. Click here to join!
Michael Peffer, senior counsel for the Pacific Justice Institute said the unnamed child had wanted to perform "Our God is Mercy" during a May 23 talent show at Salt Creek Elementary School in Chula Vista, Calif.
School officials reportedly turned down the child's request because the song has Christian lyrics. The child's mother contacted the Pacific Justice Institute for help.
"This issue exemplifies the ongoing fear from school administrators to allow anything even remotely connected to Christianity in the school," said PJI president Brad Dacus. "In their attempt to avoid the wrath of anti-religionists, misguided school officials end up inadvertently embracing secularism as the school's official religion."
School district spokesman Anthony Millican told Fox News they were still looking into the matter – but they've decided to allow the child to sing the song.
"We're not the ones endorsing it or sanctioning it," Millican said. "It's the child's choice."
Millican said they are in the process of writing a letter to the family letting them know of the change.
"We are sensitive to religious issues," he said.
We've let the administration to allow the child to sing the song. we don't see a problem with it. issue is being resolved.
The song, written by Brenton Brown, includes the following lyrics:
The kingdom of our God is near
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
The hope of heaven's drawing near
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
You're blessed if you've been torn apart
You're blessed if you've a broken heart
For hope is waiting at the door
Salvation's near
Our God is mercy, our God is mercy
If your heart is heavy, if your soul is thirsty
There is a refuge, a home for the lonely
Our God is near, Our God is near
Our God is near, Our God is near
Lift up your eyes, lift up your eyes
Lift up your eyes and sing
Peffer had fired off a letter to the school's principal urging them to reconsider – citing legal precedent.
"Because such censorship on the basis of a student's religious beliefs is a violation of his constitutional rights, we write to request that you immediately allow [the student] to perform his song at the upcoming talent show," he wrote.

De La Hoya wants to coach next U.S. Olympic boxing team
Former Olympic gold medalist and world champion Oscar De La Hoya is not happy with the United States' worst-ever showing in Olympic boxing.
And he has a plan to try to improve the fate of U.S. boxers in the future.
"That's it! I'm going to request Mark Breland, Sugar Ray Leonard and myself coach the next Olympic boxing team," De La Hoya, a 1992 gold medalist in Barcelona, tweeted Friday. "I have (too) much passion for the sport I love dearly. Will do something about it!"
Breland was a gold medalist in 1984 in Los Angeles on the famed U.S. team that included multiple future world champions, including Pernell Whitaker, Virgil Hill and Evander Holyfield. Leonard won the gold medal at the Olympics in 1976 in Montreal.
After the final two American boxers were eliminated Friday, the U.S. will come home without a medal in boxing for the first time in history. The U.S. team won four consecutive bouts to start the tournament, but lost their next nine bouts, capped by a controversial loss by welterweight Errol Spence Jr. No American boxer reached the quarterfinals.
Spence lost by a 13-11 decision to India's Krishan Vikas that even the referee seemed to think Spence won, raising his arm before quickly lowering it to raise Vikas' hand.
USA Boxing has filed a protest with the International Amateur Boxing Association.
"Thanks for all the love Where [sic] attempting a protest now just waiting too hear what they say," Spence tweeted.
The U.S. team won a bronze medal in Beijing with heavyweight Deontay Wilder sharing it with Cuba's Osmay Acosta after both lost in the semifinals.

On Monday, after a routine GP appointment, I ended up at A&E. It was a scary ordeal. Thankfully, Husband was at home, off work to decorate, and he was able to look after the kids. It's at times like these, I wish we lived closer to family.
On Tuesday, after more blood tests, I left hospital still no further forward but with lots of pills to take. I decided to stay off work for a few days to recover. Husband carried on with the decorating and Miss C and I watched TV and played with her toys. Wee Z had his after-school club and I took a walk down to the school to collect him. There's only so much sitting about a Mum can do!
On Wednesday, I woke up feeling a bit better. I took the kids to school and nursery and came home to chill out for a bit. By lunch time, I was ready for a nap and I fell asleep on the couch after lunch with Miss C. I woke up in time to pick up Wee Z and felt drained by the time I got to school. Some of the pills I have to take have an "excessive tiredness" side effect. As if I'm not already tired enough as a Mum!
On Thursday, it was a miserable day. I dropped the kids off at school and nursery and came home to get showered. Husband was busy with more decorating and managed to finish the hall and put my new curtains up. I walked to get Miss C as I really needed some fresh air and, thankfully, the rain was holding off. We spent the afternoon in my bed watching TV as I was so tired. It was raining when I had to pick Wee Z up so I took the car. We had a dentist appointment and we were all given the thumbs up from our dentist - thank goodness!
On Friday, I dropped the kids off at school and nursery and headed to the supermarket to get my shopping. It was another horrid and windy day! I picked Miss C up from nursery, we had lunch and then we chilled on the couch for the day. I walked to pick up Wee Z as I needed some air. Thankfully the rain held off for us. Husband carried on with the decorating and managed to get most of Wee Z's room done.
On Saturday, I went back to work. I was exhausted throughout my shift and felt really unwell but I think that may be the tablets I'm taking and if they are for life, I'll just have to accept them and get on with things. After work, I came home and collected Wee Z to take him to his best friend's birthday party. They were going bowling. I decided to stay and help out, not that the boys needed any assistance. They had a great time and all got on great. No one was fighting or messing about and we didn't have to tell them off once. Wee Z came second at bowling and really enjoyed himself.

Facial Plastic Surgery
Signs of age, exhaustion, and skin damage appear most prominently on the face – often making us look older than we really are. Surgical and non-surgical aesthetic enhancement procedures can do wonders for reducing the appearance of aging in the face, helping you to look more youthful, vibrant, and refreshed.
Dr. John L. LeRoy is a specialist in facial plastic surgery procedures. In fact, Dr. LeRoy developed an innovative facelift technique, the Band Aid "Mini" Facelift, as a way to give patients effective surgical facial rejuvenation with fewer incisions and less recovery time. Dr. LeRoy also performs a range of other facial procedures including: eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, forehead lift, and an array of injectable cosmetic treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and Restylane®.
The following links will take you to pages within our site that offer more detailed descriptions of facial rejuvenation procedures. Please contact John L. LeRoy, MD to schedule a consultation for facial enhancement at our Atlanta, Georgia practice.
Band Aid Facelift
The Band Aid "Mini" Facelift is a technique developed by Dr. John LeRoy that is designed to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and jowls. This procedure is not as extensive as a traditional facelift; it is performed in-office with gentle numbing, and aims to give you a more youthful appearance with less downtime after treatment. Dr. LeRoy has performed over 2,000 Band Aid Facelifts since 1997.
Learn more about the Band Aid "Mini" Facelift.
Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift
The Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift is designed for patients who want to refresh the results of a previous face lift or Band Aid Mini Facelift by combatting the new signs of aging which have arisen. For those who are looking for a step up from non-surgical Band Aid Skin Tightening or Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing, yet aren't prepared for a more extensive surgery, this Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift offers precise and natural-looking results with half the cost and half the recovery time of even a minimally invasive Band Aid Facelift.
Learn more about the Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift.
A surgical facelift is one of the most popular facial enhancement treatments, and can do wonders for smoothing out the face and giving you a more refreshed and youthful appearance. The procedure involves removing excess fat and tissue from the face and tightening the facial skin, resulting in a smoother, younger-looking aesthetic.
Learn more about facelift surgery.
Band Aid and Traditional Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty (or eyelid surgery) is a procedure for patients who have started to show the subtle signs of facial aging, especially around the eyelids. Band Aid Blepharoplasty is the least invasive eyelid surgery treatment option available and is noted by patients for being cost-effective & containing little to zero downtime.
Learn more about eyelid surgery and the Band Aid Blepharoplasty.
Band Aid and Traditional Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
For many patients, old and young, the surgical lifting of the brow can make an enormous difference to the overall aesthetics of the face. It can provide a more attractive and youthful arch of the brow, lift sagging skin caused by age, and/or smooth out and tighten the furrows found on the forehead. For these types of patients, Dr. LeRoy often recommends a forehead lift (also known as a brow lift). The Band Aid Browlift, developed by Dr. John LeRoy, is a less invasive procedure than a traditional browlift with little downtime.
Learn more about brow lift surgery or the Band Aid Browlift.
Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is a method of reshaping the nose so it is in better balance with other facial features. Patients who have had life-long issues with the appearance of their nose can benefit from this procedure. Rhinoplasty can also address functional nasal problems such as breathing problems and a deviated septum.
Learn more about rhinoplasty.
Ear Surgery
Ear surgery (otoplasty) is a technique designed to address ears that stick out too far from the head. The procedure typically involves pinning the ears back closer to the sides of the head so that they do not appear quite so prominent.
Learn more about ear surgery.
Band Aid Skin Tightening
Dr. LeRoy's unique Band Aid Skin Tightening procedure uses Protégé technology to target deep dermal layers and reduce skin laxity without surgery. Unlike other non-surgical skin firming options, the Protégé technology's unique Energy Flow Control (EFC) system precisely measures the amount of heat and dermal layers targeted to maximize patient comfort. Band Aid Skin Tightening can reduce sagging skin and promote collagen production of skin on the face, neck and chest with a few short treatments.
Learn more about Band Aid Skin Tightening.
Facial Implants, Neck lift and Lip Enhancement
Facial implant procedures such as chin and cheek augmentation can recontour the appearance of your face and create better balance among facial features. A neck lift removes excess fat and skin from the neck for a smoother, more youthful, appearance. Lip enhancement utilizes injectable dermal fillers to add volume and new contours to the lips- which can ultimately effect the entire facial aesthetic.
Learn more about facial implants, neck lift, and lip enhancement.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most popular aesthetic enhancement treatments in the world. This injectable cosmetic procedure reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face without the need for surgery. The effects of BOTOX® injections often last at least three months or more, and can be maintained with follow-up treatments.
Learn more about BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Dysport® is one of the newest alternatives to BOTOX Cosmetic, and is very effective at temporarily reducing common signs of facial aging. This injectable cosmetic treatment smoothes out wrinkles and creases in the face; and create a more youthful aesthetic.
Learn more about Dysport®.
Dermal Fillers
Dr. John L. LeRoy offers a wide range of effective dermal fillers that can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines in the face, adding youthful volume to facial features that need plumping. Restylane®, Radiesse®, the recently added Juvéderm Voluma™ XC can plump up lips, fill the cheeks, smooth fine lines, and give you a more refreshed aesthetic.
Learn more about injectable dermal fillers.
Please contact Dr. John L. LeRoy to schedule a consultation for facial rejuvenation procedures here at our Atlanta, Georgia practice.

- "It's a DH-17. Leave the settings the way they are and don't even think of switching it to automatic."
- ―First Sergeant Namir during the Mid Rim Retreat
The DH-17 blaster pistol was a close-combat blaster pistol produced by BlasTech Industries.[1]
The DH-17 blaster pistol was commonly used by soldiers of the Rebel Alliance for conflicts aboard starships, and sometimes the officers of the Galactic Empire carried it instead of the standard E-11 blaster rifles.[1]
The pistol was dependable on a semiautomatic setting, firing in short bursts. The pistol could also be fired fully automatic, but the power would be drained in 20 seconds.[1][4] Its high rate of fire and reasonable accuracy made it ideal for medium-range combat.[5]
During the Galactic Civil War, many rebel troopers were armed with DH-17 blaster pistols.[6]
When the Alliance members were on the run from the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Devastator to transmit the stolen Death Star plans to Alderaan, their ship, the CR90 corvette Tantive IV, was halted and Imperial stormtroopers entered the ship. To stop the enemy boarders, rebel soldiers attacked with DH-17 blasters but were eventually defeated.[2]
The Death Star Troopers that Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca attacked on the First Death Star were armed with DH-17 blasters but were killed when Chewbacca pretended to get loose from Han and Luke and started a chaotic battle in the detention center.
Approximately three and a half years later, the DH-17 was used by rebel soldiers in the defense of Echo Base during the Battle of Hoth.[7]
Four years after the Battle of Yavin, some of the Alliance troopers fought with DH-17s during the Battle of Endor.[8]
Approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor, a resident of Niima Outpost on the planet Jakku used a refurbished DH-17.[9]
Behind the scenesEdit
The DH-17 blaster pistols first appeared in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The pistols were first named as "DH-17"s in the canon continuity from Ultimate Star Wars, a reference book published in April 28, 2015.[1]

PYML Announcement
It is my pleasure to announce the first public version of PYML. PYML is
available at:
PYML
PYML is a Python interface to Mathematica which uses MathLink. It
allows the Python programmer to evaluate Mathematica expressions.
Expressions are passed to PYML as a Python object, which is processed
into MathLink calls. PYML calls MathLink to evaluate the expression
and prints the result. Currently, PYML supports Mathematica 2.2 and
3.0 on Windows 95, UNIX, and presumably Macintosh (although it has not
been tested on this last platform).
I am releasing this version to get feedback from users on what they
think of the interface and to see if you can find and bugs or problems
with my code.

We want YOU in Flagstaff this Sunday, November 10th at 3:00 p.m. in the Rolle Activity Center for our home opener versus Hawaii. If you can't make it in person, you can catch us on Fox Sports Arizona. As a matter of fact, you can catch most of our home games on Fox Sports Arizona. NAU-TV will broadcast and distribute nine of our 13 home games this season beginning with Sunday's opener versus Hawaii.
NAU-TV is NAU's own production studio. It connects Northern Arizona University to a worldwide audience by promoting the people and programs making NAU a great university. NAU-TV has a unique partnership with Fox Sports Arizona. This year, over 30 NAU events will be produced by NAU-TV and distributed to Fox Sports Arizona, Fox College Sports (available to 54 million cable subscribers in the United States) and our local Flagstaff cable.
According to the Voice of the Lumberjacks, Mitch Strohman, "It has been a great partnership that has been supported by the President as it has become a powerful vehicle to showcase NAU to the southwest and across the country through Lumberjack Athletics. The university invested in the infrastructure for full HD a couple of years ago, which enhanced both the quality of the broadcasts and our relationship with Fox Sports Arizona. Our partnership is fairly unique and puts NAU on the map in a very competitive broadcast environment."
Yesterday, we joined Louie the Lumberjack and the rest of the NAU Athletic Department in a send-off for the NAU soccer team as they headed to Portland to compete for the 2013 Big Sky soccer championship. Last Saturday, our men's cross country team won its seventh straight Big Sky Championship while the NAU women's cross country team came in second in the Big Sky. After its fourth straight win, NAU football is 5-1 in Big Sky play and ranked 14th in the FCS Coaches Poll. NAU volleyball is in 3rd place in the Big Sky with a 10-4 conference record. NAU swimming and diving is off to a 2-0 start. Our fall sports teams have been terrific and an inspiration as we approach the start of our season.
Media Day

Coaching staff Halloween spirit
Hall of Fame Banquet with Jess LeBlanc
Our lone senior, Amanda Frost (Riverside, CA) shares her thoughts on the fall campaigns of NAU football, soccer, volleyball, cross country, and swimming & diving: "Our fall sports teams have been doing really well. It inspires us to work hard and do well too. It seems like we are all on a mission and proud to be a part of the NAU Takeover."
Our goals for the 2013-2014 season:

TNT is just too strong, too smart, too good for Rain or Shine. It would've been a closer series had Alaska or San Mig Coffee advanced to the final.
TNT ruined the outside game of Jeff Chan and the athleticism of Gabe Norwood. TNT's big men also tenderized the beefy frontline of Beau Belga and JR Quinahan.
With TNT's performance earlier, it was already like watching the Philippine national team. Defense indeed wins championships.
