** Price lowered to $6,000
I have decided to sell my 1993 VW Corrado VR6. I bought this car in March 2012 but have decided to sell it only because it's my 2nd car and I no longer want to pay insurance & maintenance, etc. for 2 cars. It has the VR6 engine and 5-speed manual transmission. It has about 58,8## miles on it and runs well. I am the 4th owner. I have a Bentley repair manual that I bought new and an owner's manual that I'm including. I'm located in Beaverton, OR and would prefer not to have the car shipped for an easy transaction. Asking $6,000.
If you want to get a history report for the car, I will provide the VIN upon request.
Mods (according to the previous owner):
- 268 catcams
- Limited-slip differential
- Titanium scorpion exhaust
- Lowered slightly
- Shifter knob with light-up gear diagram
The good:
- Good running condition, and low mileage (about 58,8##)
- The spoiler works
- Plenty of engine power, and there are no leaks
- Tags good until April 2014
- Fresh A/C refill in April 2012
The bad:
- The sunroof doesn't work 100% - Tilts up but doesn't slide back very well
- The cruise control doesn't work
- There are a couple spots on the paint on the exterior that are faded/cracked (see pictures)
Work I've had done since I've owned it:
- A/C refilled (April 2012)
- New ignition switch (Beck/Arnely) (April 2012)
- Brakes checked (April 2012)
- New battery (April 2012)
- New stereo and all new speakers (May 2012) - The stereo is a Kenwood KDC-X396.
- Oil & oil filter change (with Castrol Syntec oil) (June 2012)
- New floor mats (July 2012)
- New front lip piece (Spoonfed Tuning 70mm urethane front lip) installed on December 27, 2012

Project DescriptionThe new structure replaces a distressed motel that had been used as a homeless shelter in Greenburgh NY. Its design is comparable to market-rate housing, and it beautifies the surrounding neighborhood. Despite initial community resistance to the project, demand for its units far exceeded supply for the 28 available units, which range from studios to two-bedrooms for low-income individuals and families.
The wood structure building is on track to receive LEED for Homes Silver Certification. Its facade is composed of alternating vertical volumes, balconies, shutters, awnings, and unique treatment of siding materials to give the large building a domestic scale. Generous windows allow the maximum amount of natural daylight to enter the apartments. The building has a vegetated green roof for storm-water mitigation and is surrounded by vibrant native plantings.
The transit-oriented development is within walking distance to shopping and public transportation, including buses and Metro North trains.
Westhab, the largest provider of affordable and workforce housing in Westchester County, commissioned the project.

I love Thanksgiving! Each year we have a big family dinner. As we sit around the table, each person gets a chance to talk about what they are thankful for. I am so grateful to have such a big, wonderful extended family as well as my own little family of three! This page I created using paper and embellishments from Bevin Dunn's Marigold Vintage is a small, artistic expression of one of the things I am most grateful for- family!

Turkey a la Kardashian
Unlike the Kardashians themselves, Turkey a la Kardashian is at least comprised of biodegradeable materials. And it's not high maintenance: a couple of lemons under the skin is as spicy as this dish likes to get! Five minutes and you're good to go, although we understand certain chefs may prefer to spend a lot more time with the butter and the spice rub.
Then of course there is this season's biggest hit, the Twerky. (more…)
Great Canadian Cookery with Grizelda the Ghastly Gourmet
It's time for a little Hamiltonian Halloween spice for the season.
Sometimes people ask me how I turned out this way. The Hilarious House of Frightenstein is a large part of the answer. This deranged Goth fantasy was what passed for educational children's programming in Canada back in the 70's, and it was unspeakably brilliant. All of my mental warpage I owe to it. You haven't seen camp until you've seen Billy Van dressed as a hag who thinks she's Goldie Hawn, hosting a cooking show.
You will see that now.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the very definition of CANNOT BE UNSEEN. And is it just me, or do the mannerisms recall an otherworldly Rachael Ray? To say nothing of the recipes.
Happy Thanksgiving, eh!
It's Canadian Thanksgiving, and you know what that means! Passive-aggressive machinations regarding who gets to carve the turkey and whether Peggy's gherkins get to sit in Great Gramma's crystal dish or if it will be That Woman Bob Married with her goddam pickled beets again, and what's so special about pickled beets anyway? Great Gramma never served pickled beets; it's just not right.
Where was I? Oh right, Canadian Thanksgiving.
I suppose if I googled long enough I could find some ridiculously convoluted excuse for why our Thanksgiving is in October instead of November, but the simple fact is, we're a Northern country. If we waited till November the weather would be crap and people would literally die in the car on the way to the big family dinner, frozen in snowdrifts, their misery preserved forever or until the spring thaws at least. Seriously, this was my biggest worry when I was a kid; that we'd die right there on the 401 because of a white-out.
What's on the menu at a Canadian Thanksgiving? Pretty much anything that would be on the menu at an American one, barring sweet potatoes with marshmallows (what IS that? some kind of practical joke by the South?) and pecan pie. Why don't we do pecan pie? Because pecans up here cost about as much as truffles do, and you don't see us making truffle pie now, do you? So we have pumpkin pie and butter tarts.
Butter tarts are perhaps the most Canadian food ever invented (pace Poutine!). There is some controversy about whether or not raisins go in butter tarts, and I'm all Team Raisin, simply because you need some sort of contrast to the delicious, caramely center UH "centre" of the butter tart. Nuts are completely non-canon, although a tasty addition; walnuts are best, because their natural dryness plays against the sweet creaminess of the filling very well. Think of butter tarts as pecan pie without pecans in it, and you can see why we like them so much.
Chatelaine is the definitive Canadian women's magazine (think typical American women's magazine, but with fewer boobs, less makeup, and more politics and social justice articles) and so it is to Chatelaine that I turn for a classic butter tart recipe. They're all more or less the same, actually, but this one has a pedigree.
Preparation time: 10 minutes; Baking Time: 16 minutes; Makes: 12 tarts
12 ( 3-inch, 7.5-cm) homemade or 16 purchased frozen tart shells, each about 3 inches
2 eggs
3/4 cup ( 175 mL) corn syrup
1/4 cup ( 50 mL) liquid honey
1 tsp ( 5 mL) vanilla
1/2 cup ( 125 mL) brown sugar
1 tbsp ( 15 mL) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ( 50 mL) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup ( up to 1/2 cup, 50 mL to 125 mL) raisins or walnuts
Oh, what a delicious dribble occurs when biting into these buttery tarts made by Tait's Bakery. These are divinely runny so be prepared for the drips!
Place oven rack at its lowest level. Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line 12 tart shells with homemade pastry. If using store-bought frozen shells, use 16 and leave in foil cups. Place tart shells on a baking sheet with shallow sides to catch any spills. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs with corn syrup, honey and vanilla until well blended. Stir brown sugar with flour. Stir into egg mixture along with butter until evenly mixed.
Dividing equally, scatter raisins or walnuts over bottoms of shells. Pour filling over top. Bake on bottom rack of preheated 375F (190C) oven until filling is bubbly and top is slightly crusty, from 16 to 18 minutes for 12 tarts or about 16 minutes for 16 tarts. Cool on a rack. Tarts will keep well at room temperature for up to 1 day. Or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Okay, okay STOP! "Delicious dribble," people? If it is occurring, you're using "dribble" as a verb, and verbs are tasteless, as is anyone who writes like that. Now go back to J-school and come back when you can write prose that actually makes sense!

Those two words?
Oh. Yes.
Said in the following style.
Note this is only a two-word review temporarily, because I liked the bottle they sent me to taste so much I finished it all without taking notes and ran down to the liquor store to get more. They were sold out. Further, possibly somewhat more refined, tasting notes coming soon. PS: if you can't get this stuff in your country, I pity you.

Although I am not a groupie of antibiotics, I knew I need them to strive against the Lyme's bacteria. Being vegan I don't expressly engage a conceivably to supplant beneficial bacteria in my core from head to foot the foods I sup, so I upped my portion of L.

Alright, I am guessing it is in fact a power issue as it can receive calls w/ no problems and sparkfun says based on the datasheet that this module can be finicky about how power is provided to it (specially in the moments of greater current draw) i.e. first transmission when it starts up and during a call: exactly where I am having difficulties. Currently I'm using an AC/DC adapter running at 4,5v, 1amp… will look for a more suitable one.
I've run into the problem Member #322389 pointed out

I would expect to see something like TELCEL, MOVISTAR, NEXTEL, etc. as available networks since I am in Mexico City. I'll see if I can figure it out and comment here in case someone else ever has this specific issue again. I hope someone can give me a clue on this as well.
No public wish lists :(


text: KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE: UHT) announced today an update to the previously disclosed regulatory matter related to Southwest Healthcare System ("SWHCS"). As previously disclosed on April 20, 2010, Universal Health Services, Inc. ("UHS") advised us that, SWHCS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS which operates Rancho Springs Medical Center (the real property of which is not owned by us) and Inland Valley Regional Medical Center ("Inland Valley" the real property of which is owned by us) in Riverside County, California, received notification from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") that it intended to effectuate the termination of SWHCS's Medicare provider agreement effective June 1, 2010. At that time, SWHCS commenced discussions with officials from CMS regarding an agreement in an effort to remedy the provider agreement termination action. UHS has advised us that they have entered into an agreement with CMS which will abate the termination action scheduled for June 1, 2010. The agreement is one year in duration and requires SWHCS to engage independent experts in various disciplines to analyze and develop implementation plans for SWHCS to meet the Medicare conditions of participation. At the conclusion of the agreement, CMS will conduct a full certification survey to determine if SWHCS has achieved substantial compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation. During the term of the agreement, SWHCS will remain eligible to receive reimbursements from Medicare for services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries. As also disclosed on April 20, 2010, SWHCS received notification from the California Department of Public Health ("CDPH") indicating that they planned to initiate a process to revoke SWHCS's hospital license. SWHCS has recently received the formal document initiating the revocation action. UHS has advised us that they plan to appeal CDPH's action and SWHCS will remain operational pending the appeal. CDPH has previously indicated its willingness to rescind this revocation should SWHCS demonstrate its ability to meet all state licensing requirements. UHS intends to pursue a resolution of this action with CDPH consistent with the agreement reached with CMS, however, there can be no assurance they will be able to do so. Failure to resolve this matter could have a material adverse effect on UHS and, in turn, us. While the base rentals on Inland Valley are guaranteed by UHS through the end of the existing lease term (December, 2011), should this matter adversely impact the future revenues and/or operating results of SWHCS, the future bonus rental earned by us on Inland Valley, and the underlying value of the property, may be materially adversely impacted. Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust, invests in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute care facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. We have fifty-two real estate investments in fifteen states.

It's my birthday and I want a chicken cake with cheese on top.
Since Dogster community will be shutting down March 3rd, I now have my own Facebook page "The Wonderful World of Schubert". I hope all my pup pals will come to visit me there. See you soon, Love, Schubert.
It's my birthday today and I'm 13 years old. Mom says I'm a teenager but I'm really 64 in dog years. I act like a teenager though. Mom says I have to wait until Saturday to have my party. Maybe if I'm really good, she'll let me have my party on Friday. I got 25 dogster bones and a football from my friends on dogster. They really like me. Everybody really like me.

Florida State's Mami Yamaguchi leads the NCAA Division I women's ranks in points (62) and is second in goals (23) and assists (16), but the Japanese international is only part of the story in the Seminoles' return to the Elite Eight for the third straight year.
Coach Mark Krikorian has lived up to his reputation as one of the nation's top recruiters, bringing in five first-year players who have played key roles for Florida State, which hosts Connecticut in Friday's quarterfinal.
After back-to-back Women's College Cup appearances, Krikorian had big holes to fill for his third season in Tallahassee. Stars Ali Mims, India Trotter and Kelly Rowland all graduated, and Australian international Sal Kuralay did not return.
What he did not count on was losing captain Sarah Wagenfuhr for the season at the end of September with a knee injury.
Five first-year players -- freshmen Erin McNulty, Amanda DaCosta, Marissa Kazbour and Sanna Talonen and transfer Erika Sutton -- started in FSU's 4-0 demolition of Texas in the third round, and six other newcomers -- freshmen Rachel Lim, Rachel Brown, Casey Lademann and Margo McAuley and transfers Lauren Switzer and Kate Milstead -- have played in the NCAA Tournament.
Here's a look at the five first-year starters:
ERIN MCNULTY. Canada's two top young keepers will go face to face on Friday when McNulty, a freshman from Winnipeg, faces UConn's Stephanie Labbe, a junior from Stoney Plain, Alb. Labbe was the starter and McNulty one of her backups when Canada played in the 2006 Under-20 Women's World Cup in Russia.
McNulty has yet to give up a goal in the NCAA Tournament -- shutout wins over Kennesaw State, LSU and Texas.
"I just think the team is playing very well," she says. "I am happy with the way we are playing."
ERIKA SUTTON. Sutton played with Wagenfuhr for the Colorado Rush, winning a national youth championship in 2006, but spent her first two years at San Diego State before being reunited with Wagenfuhr at Florida State.
Sutton, a midfielder at San Diego State, didn't make her first start until the fifth game of the season but has been a fixture on the backline ever since.
AMANDA DACOSTA. DaCosta, whose parents are Portuguese, grew up admiring Ronaldinho and was so good she started on her high school team in Katonah, N.Y., in eighth grade.
She chose FSU because she wanted to prove to herself she could earn her playing time, and she's done just that. The 5-foot-4 midfielder has started every game and leads FSU's Americans with five goals and eight assists.
MARISSA KAZBOUR. The Floridian has been sensational in the NCAA Tournament with an assist in the wins over Kennesaw State and LSU and the third goal against Texas. The midfielder is happy to contribute any way she can.
"It's just awesome to come out and play another tournament game," said Kazbour. "Just to come out every game and do what I know I have to do. If I get a goal or assist, that's great. I want to contribute to the team."
SANNA TALONEN. The 23-year-old Finn was a late addition to Krikorian's '07 recruiting class -- and easily the most accomplished. She has earned 34 caps and scored nine goals for Finland. The highlight of her career so far came in 2005 when she made two appearances for Finland at the European Women's Championship in England.
The same year she led the Finnish First Division in scoring with 28 goals in 18 games for FC Honka. Last summer, she was played for Balinge in Sweden's Damallsvenskan alongside former Notre Dame great Anne Makinen.
She single-handedly beat Kennesaw State with a hat trick in the first round and scored the first goal late in the first half against Texas to give her 14 goals for the season. She also hit the post 41 seconds into the game against Texas.

more crazy polkas
For the Shibs, they have to have Vocaloid Miku sings Ievan Polka
For I&K, since they used Ave Maria this year (Polka Hymns):
For Evan Bates and Madison Chock- Too Fat Polka
For Hubbell and Donohue - Strip Polka
For Zhiganshina and Gaszi, combined with the Beer Barrel polka
Yes I know boot=boat (Das Beer Boot)
Just for Bobrova & Soloviev-goes right with Faust-Highway to Hell Polka
For Pechalat and Bourzat
A nice French polka on the hurdy gurdy
perhaps combined with the
We no speak Americano Polka
For D&W-Hot n Cold Katie Perry Polka cover (in retaliation for this year's JLo)
Canadian heel and toe Polka for V&M, because they are Canadian, and worlds is in Ontario next year
Who new there were so many kinds of Polka?
For the punk rocker team out there, they even have punkish polkaPunk Polka.
A Polka version of the Doors People Are Strange, what??
Hmm, Weird Al Yankovic has some polka songs like "polka face"
This lists some of the songs he has turned in Polka.
OK, now you and Doris have made me really afraid. I like the Yankee Polka, but as a SD it could make this year's SD look stellar in comparison. Seriously, I never really got into the majority of the programs with the mess of music cuts and the difficulty of doing Latin on ice, but the Yankee can end up being much worse IMO.
EYS! That's what makes this so wonderful!
I really do want the Shins to do Ieva's polka in the vocsloid version. They would be so cute done up as manga characters.
I really want someone to do a Weird Al Yankovic Polka
And if you need more polka music, you can listen to it 24/7 on your PC or mobile:
I think we could look to B/S for something weird .They don't really do perky
What other rythm could skaters use with polka?
Hearing Yankee Polka with March and Waltz as acceptable accompanying rhythms. For Juniors, Blues with HipHop and Jive.
Thanks! Blues and HipHop could be great for seniors. And jumping polka will be great for young skaters.
This thread makes me miss Delschoes so much.
Carry on.
I hated Del-Scho's costumes for that CD. They had a real gift for coming up with themes that insulted American women.
What made this choice really off was that only two of the various YP CD music possibilities sound very Western. The others are pretty standard Euro polka music, so the cowboy gear does not work at all.
Here's one of my favorites - Grishuk/Platov from 97.
Meryl and Charlie did an absolutely fantastic Yankee Polka the year it was used for Nationals. I thought they should have beaten Tanith and Ben in that segment.
Wow -- you see that and realize just how good G&P were. Their extensions match so beautifully even as they're bouncing along. Thanks for putting up the link.
Compare "Davis&White" to G&P. They're not in the same league at all, and probably will never be since they do not challenge themselves, never have and probably never will.
G&P were just ... one of a kind. I am still waiting for skaters to be as good as they were to appear. And I don't think I will in some time.
Platov was so underrated at the time. She got all the attention, but he was so
Can you expand on this?

I have to admit I didn't think this would work. But I've just tried it quickly on our customer site and it did! Thank you. I need to try it on our dev environment to be sure, but it does appear to work. How strange.
Can Oracle provide an answer to why this would work and the other way wouldn't? Is create_or_truncate no longer available from 4.2?
Many thanks
PS. Will provide points when I've check solution in dev environment.... :-)
3. Re: CLOB error in APEX 4.2Hari_639 Apr 19, 2013 4:41 PM (in response to SaraB)Hello Sara,
Yes, some times APEX behaves weirdly, we had this issue when we use create_or_truncate procedure in on-load page process and if we call this page as pop-up using jQuery dialog. If we run page normally, then this issue was not coming. However handling create and truncate explicitly solved the problem. Strange, but that is how it is!
Is create_or_truncate no longer available from 4.2?No, see this

Hi, are you running antivirus?
Some Malware and antivirus can slow down your data transfer
So long as you are only visit the Intuit page, you may wish to temporarily disable your antivirus protection to allow the date to flow faster
Also, QB can me slow in some respects. It will never be as fast as the desktop version simply because of the nature of the data going back and forth...
Also, I doubt this is causing much of a problem, but you may want to revisit your system requirements to see that they are up to current standards, but most likely you will see the most improvement from disabling your malware and antivirus.
One final recommendation... If you are not already doing so, try using FireFox as your internet browser when you go the the QB site. I have found that FireFox works the best with the least lag and fewest problems
ok i will disable my malware & antivirus & see if there is any improvement :)
Great. Good luck. Norton is especially is slow for some of these things. I hope I have provided you with total customer satisfaction.
Thank you for taking the time to rate me & please feel free to contact me directly with any future QB requests! http://www.justanswer.com/finance/expert-foxbizsolutions/
have you heard of the program ClamXav? As that is the program I had for protection
I have sent it to the trash bin now though
Im sorry I am not familiar with that program... but as I see you are located in Australia, it may be bc I am in the US.
does an imac have internet protection already installed? I don't think it does does it?
i will open quicksbooks online again since getting rid of ClamXav & see if there is any improvement in speed
Many think the Mac cant get viruses... it can, ive seen it happen, however it is rare. Safari is pretty substantial protection on its own so long as you are not regularly downloading from torrent/fileshare sites
ok thank you...I don't download from torrent/fileshare sites
yes I'm using firefox for my quickbooks
You should be fine without the ClamXav protection. You should see an improvement in your overall speed.
I'm still having issues with lag, slow speed, is there anything else you can advise me on please?...
thank you ever so much for your very well detailed & professional assistance....I will look into what you have instructed me to do...go to different location internet & test run the program then knowing if I want to opt out & go for desktop or not...thank you heaps Attachments are only available to registered users.Register Here

My cats hate each other, help! :(
I have a spayed female ragdoll who is 2 and half and a neutered male maine coon who is just over a year old now. I had my female ragdoll first and we decided to get a kitten.... they got on great at first, would sleep together, clean each other etc... etc... then we got the male neutered as I didn't want him spraying in the house and then the fun started... Ever since he was neutered my female cat has completely hated him, she will spit at him and moan as soon as he comes in he same room as her, at first they wouldn't even be in the same room together... now they are slightly better, he will attempt to play with her but she just hisses and runs off. We then got a german shepherd pup (my partners idea) and now my female cat is in love with our dog, will sleep with him, lick him and follow him around all day but still hates our male cat! The situation has gotten better since the dog, as the dog breaks them up and plays with them both (very cute). Will they ever like each other?

Maybe not, but they are coexisting... which is a good sign. Let them be and work it out on their own. Little spats are fine as long as nobody is getting hurt or drawing blood. Make sure they have their own litter boxes and feed them separately if you can. The male cat can play and hang out with the dog, which is fine. ^_^

Is it better to leave my property by will or living trust?
I own my home, have several CDs, checking accounts, and savings -- also some annuities, and several stocks. The only insurance is my husband's, which isn't that much. I have a small IRA account; my husband's is a bit larger. Which is better for me: a will or a trust?
Expert Answers
The first step for you to take is to look closely at the documents specifying how the title is held to the property you mentioned. Generally, property that you own with another person -- in joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety, or community property with right of survivorship -- passes directly to the other owner or owners at your death, and you needn't provide for its passing in either a will or trust.
The same is true with property that has a designated beneficiary to take the property at death -- as is often the case with insurance, for example. That, too, will pass automatically to the named taker, outside a will or trust.
You can make either a will or trust or both to designate the person or organizations you want to take any remaining property. But you should be guided by a number of concerns.
A living trust, which passes property free from probate, rather than a will may not be a good choice if you:
- Expect to owe estate taxes when either you or both you and your spouse die -- which is most likely if you own property worth $2 million or more.
- Want to have some control over what happens to your property after your death, such as specifying that a house goes first to a relative, then to your children.
- Have any child who has a special need or disability, and you want to provide management for property that goes to him or her.
- Have children from one or more prior marriages who are likely to conflict with a current spouse.
A will alone may do, however, if you:
- Have set up most property ownership in joint tenancy or pay-on-death transfers.
- Own very little valuable property.
- Don't know someone you trust to oversee your property.
- Are involved in divorce proceedings, as some state laws bar creating such trusts once a divorce is filed.
Community Answers
I tell clients in my 'Emergency Estate Planning System' that a Will is a guaranteed ticket to probate court. I had a client (66 yrs old and Mom had a Will - the evil sister stole more than $476,899 from the estate )
The Trust is the only vehicle to bypass probate and have control over who your assets will be distributed to. Also, if you have younger beneficiary's, (ie. children) I ask my client's if it's ok to that 50% of that child's inheritance can go to the inlaw? Or worse yet, 100% to a creditor!! Yikes, don't leave this to chance.
Also, what many practicitioner's fail to clarify to clients is that you are 8 x more likely to become disabled than you are to die at work. The Trust has incapacity provisions to control your assets if you are disabled. The Will does not, the only way to do this is to go to probate court (and hire an attorney, pay thousands of dollars plus court costs)
Plus, NEVER place your IRA/Retirement Plan into your standard trust (if the plan is large enough) you should have an IRA Trust created for special asset protection, and stretch out options based on IRS guidelines.
Lastly, a Trust can not hold annuity's. they are created and transferred with whoever the beneficiary is (ie. usually spouses or kids), they are great financial tool with their 'guarantee's' but no asset protection when you die.

Act like a local
What comes to your mind when you hear "underground"? Metro? Pipelines? Moles, worms and rats? Or underground culture, music and parties? On our map we show you what we mean. Forget about crowds of tourists in their touristic bubble. Let us reveal what is under the fake touristic façade! Let us introduce you to the real Prague underground!
Beer, beer, beer!!! CR is famous for its beer and we're proud of it! We have the best beer (according to us, try it and make your own opinion) and it's cheap too – cheaper than water. Thanks to these facts we have the highest beer consumption in the world: more than 156 liters of beer per capita each year – old people, newborns and dogs included. But don't call us drunkards we prefer "beer experts".
In restaurants, we have a special tip-giving system. When you receive a bill from the waiter, use the easy math, round the number up and tell the waiter how much he should take to keep at least 6 CZK. So for example: when you pay 143 CZK, tell the waiter: "150 CZK is okay". But when it's e.g. 148 CZK you should leave 160 CZK.
Useful tips & info
OPENING HOURS: Most museums are closed on Mondays. Many shops are closed on Sundays outside of the city centre. Restaurants usually serve warm meals until 21:00 (or 22:00). Later you can get some fast food.
SHOPPING: Hungry? Try Albert, Billa, Tesco or Žabka – the most common supermarkets. They are on every corner.
SMOKING: Surprisingly, it is still legal to smoke inside. However, often there are separate rooms for smokers and non-smokers.
WHAT IS GOING ON? Ask at our infodesk or check www.facebook.com/use.it.prague.
MONEY: Still no eurozone in sight, so be prepared to do some math: 1 EUR is approximately 27 CZK (Kč, korun, Czech crowns). The safest way to get some cash is at an ATM. They are omnipresent.
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS: Liberation Day on May, 8th marks the end of WWII. July, 5th commemorates religious teachers Cyril and Methodius, who translated the Christian Bible into Slavic languages. July, 6th 1415 the religious reformer Jan Hus was burned.

Havasu Falls
Havasu Falls offers a perfect balance of natural forces: turquoise water and red, red rock, glowing beneath a blue desert sky. Other falls are taller; other falls carry greater volumes of water. And boy, are other falls easier to reach―to get to Havasu, you hike 10 miles into Havasu Canyon near―at least on the map―to the South Rim, having obtained the required trail permit from the Havasupai Indian Reservation months earlier. But no waterfall in the world is so worth the work.

Santa's on schedule as NORAD tracks flight path
By Victoria Cavaliere
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Santa Claus has made an on-time departure from the North Pole, at least according to a U.S. military command that has made it a tradition to track the progress of Santa's reindeer-guided sleigh for millions of children.
Santa was "sticking to the same flight plan as he provided us," Lieutenant Commander Bill Lewis, stationed at the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado Springs, Colorado, said on Tuesday.
For nearly 60 years, NORAD has tracked Santa's flight path in a popular Christmas tradition that last year drew 22.3 million visitors to its website www.noradsanta.org and generated 114,000 calls.
NORAD says it can keep up with Santa's swift pace by using satellites and an "infrared sensor to detect heat signatures from Rudolph's nose," as the lead reindeer helps pull Santa's sleigh across the sky.
This year, NORAD said it was sending animated warplanes alongside the sleigh, a move that drew criticism from some child advocates who said children might worry if they believed Santa was vulnerable to attack.
NORAD says it began depicting jets following the sleigh in the 1960s and the planes would only be deployed to help Santa enter North American airspace. He would then be "on his own to do his work" Lewis said.
The Santa tracking tradition started in 1955, after Sears Roebuck & Co ran a Christmas advertisement in a newspaper accidentally misprinting Santa's North Pole phone number with the contact number of a high-level office at NORAD.
Instead of disappointing the first child who called, Colonel Harry Shoup said he was indeed Santa Claus and took a list of Christmas gift requests from the young caller. Continued...

Here's a recap of the first three rounds …
ROUND 3 (Feb. 5): TC won 67-66 in the district final, even though it once trailed by 16 in the third quarter and was behind by three with 5.5 seconds left with possession in SPC's favor. TC tied it with a 3-pointer by Colette Eule, then won in overtime, but only after SPC turned the ball over with 3.6 seconds left. Jerica Coley of SPC led all scorers with 23, while Brittney Dunbar added 20. Sarah Brennan (21) and Meghan Keough (15) led the Crusaders.
ROUND 2 (Jan. 20) SPC won 71-63 to end TC's 15-game win streak. Coley scored 29 points and added timely steals (six), rebounds (six), assists (four) and blocks (four). Forwards Dunbar (16 points) Annie Artise (13) also came up big for the Barons. TC had a 29-24 halftime lead only to see the Barons use a 10-1 run at the beginning of the second half on their way to a 49-43 lead at the end of the third quarter -- highlighted by Coley's NBA-range 3-pointer at the buzzer. Eule scored a team-high 28 for TC.
ROUND 1 (Dec. 11): TC won 68-61 despite 42 points from Coley. Coley was on her way to a record night, scoring 26 points in the first half to help the Barons build a 37-30 halftime lead. But the Crusaders went to a box-and-one at the start of the third quarter with sophomore center Star Steele and Keough handling most of the defensive duties. That's when TC took control. Eule and Brennan each had 20 points, and Micah Kroll added 11.

Merkel Urged to Act Before It's Too Late
It's not often that one sees German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrück blushing. Until recently, after all, he had been showered with a certain amount of praise for his steady-handed approach to the financial crisis currently enveloping Germany, Europe and the world. But last Thursday, Steinbrück was on the stage at the "Tipi," a theater tent next to the Chancellery in Berlin, holding a silver trophy after being chosen as this year's winner of the Politician of the Year award. And his cheeks were bright red.
Steinbrück and Chancellor Angela Merkel have taken it upon themselves to show the world how to solve an economic crisis without significant spending programs—and by ignoring the experts' advice and going it alone. It is a bold experiment, and being given such an award was encouraging, even a partial victory.
The award itself is not an important one. The silver statuette presented to Steinbrück was donated by a publishing company called Helios Media, but this didn't seem to bother the minister. "Steinbrück is straightforward, reliable and smart," said the man presenting the award, Hesse Governor Roland Koch. "And he is cutting a fine figure in the current financial crisis."
Then came Steinbrück's acceptance speech, and it, like almost all of his recent public pronouncements, turned into a lecture. The debate over the economic crisis, he intoned, is getting out of hand and he finds it increasingly difficult to stomach. A steadily growing number of proposals to combat the crisis have turned into a bidding war, he said, and it must stop.
Steinbrück had delivered a similar lecture three days earlier, when he attended a meeting of European Union finance ministers in Brussels. There, he once again played the imperturbable politician. Who, Steinbrück asked his counterparts, seriously believes that the government can buy its way out of the crisis?
'Huge Waste of Money'
Measures taken merely to do something, as seen in a number of EU member states, Steinbrück said, were "unhelpful." The programs being established or requested everywhere are a "huge waste of money," the German finance minister railed, adding that he doesn't believe in programs aimed at boosting demand.
He will be present on Sunday at the chancellery in Berlin for a meeting called by Merkel to take a closer look at recent economic developments. A number of cabinet ministers will be present in addition to a handful of bank managers and economic experts. Still, the message has remained largely the same: Steinbrück and the rest of the German government will take a closer look in the first quarter of next year. Should it then become necessary, Steinbrück said in his speech last week, further action will then be taken. Not before.
One could see the speech as a continuation of the message that is increasingly trying the patience of his cabinet colleagues. But one could also see it as an initial, cautious effort to back off from the rigid attitude with which the Merkel/Steinbrück administration has confronted the most severe global economic crisis in decades. At least Steinbrück is now no longer ruling out all further action, delayed though it might be.
Initially, the message from Merkel and Steinbrück was that the initial stimulus package, approved in early November, was all that was needed. The package was billed as being worth €32 billion, but a closer look revealed that the new measures included in the package were worth just €5 billion a year.
Instead, they gave speeches and interviews in which they declared anyone who called for stronger economic stimulus programs to be reckless, if not downright insane. "The fact that all lemmings have chosen the same path doesn't automatically mean that it's the right path," Steinbrück said in a derogatory reference to his colleagues elsewhere in Europe.
Join the Lemmings
Now, more than a week later, Steinbrück and Merkel sense that they will be unable to remain contrarians, even if they have so far refrained from making a public U-turn. They sense that they too will have to join the lemmings.
The consequences of Germany's special approach to the economic crisis have already made themselves felt. On Monday, British Prime Gordon Brown, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and European Commission President Jos� Manuel Barroso met in London to prepare for the European Union summit later this week. And they didn't invite Merkel.
In the past, it would have been Germany and France getting together before an important summit in an effort to shape its outcome. Now, Berlin's presence at such important preliminary talks is apparently no longer desired. "Madame Non," as Merkel is referred to derisively in EU circles, isn't welcome anymore.
In Brussels these days, EU diplomats—whether from Britain, France or elsewhere—simply shrug their shoulders about the Germans, if not worse. Has the 2009 general election campaign already started, people in Brussels are asking themselves? "The Germans," says a high-ranking German representative in Brussels, "are moving at the speed of light from the center of activity to the margins." When it comes to generating ideas, says the diplomat, the Germans have been "a total failure" so far.
The pressure for more decisive economic stimulus measures is growing on the domestic front as well. The bad news continues to mount, and distress calls from the economy are piling up. According to the Federation of German Industries (BDI), orders have been cancelled in all sectors of the economy, and freight traffic with China has fallen drastically within weeks. The automobile industry is reporting a "downswing unprecedented in terms of magnitude and pace."
'Utterly Exceptional Situation'
The CEOs of the companies listed on Germany's DAX stock index are also watching the hesitancy at the Chancellery with great concern. "We're currently experiencing an utterly exceptional situation,"
says VW CEO Martin Winterkorn.
Regardless of the mood in the chancellery, many in Berlin have begun recognizing that the government must respond with a decisive stimulus program. But just what such a program should look like is a matter of some contention within Merkel's governing coalition, which pairs the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) with the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU). Absolutely no tax cuts, the SPD insists. No stimulus checks for consumers, the CDU says in response.
As a result, the German government's response to the worst crisis in decades has been indecisive. Instead of taking action, Berlin is simply making adjustments. Ultimately, it could end up waiting too long to implement an effective stimulus package, and the consequences could be serious. Consumers and investors will hold back even more, because they will be waiting for the government's additional bailout programs. The government itself is becoming a risk factor.
Opinion polls show that more than half of all Germans say that Berlin's comments on the economic crisis have made them feel more anxious than hopeful. "Politicians are playing an important role in making citizens feel uneasy," said Wolfgang Bosbach, deputy floor leader for the CDU, in a mocking tone.
Merkel and Steinbrück, for their part, continue to buy time by pointing to a meeting they have scheduled for Jan. 5. On that day, leaders from the CDU, the SPD and the Christian Social Union (the Bavarian sister party to the CDU) will meet in Berlin to discuss the crisis. Still, no decisions are planned for the meeting. Merkel and Steinbrück have made it clear that they simply intend to keep an eye on the situation. Any concrete measures aren't expected before later in the spring.
Yet even this distant prospect has been fuelling political creativity. Members of both the SPD and the CDU have lately been coming up with a never-ending fountain of ideas on how to enliven the German economy. The ideas are diverse—and incompatible.
Most Social Democrats want to see their party fill the leadership vacuum.
The party's left wing, led by Andrea Nahles, is complaining that Steinbrück, in particular, is standing in the way of an independent SPD approach—because of his proximity to Merkel. The 19 parliamentarians from the SPD's left wing recently introduced a two-page document demanding an enormous stimulus package. Given the dimensions of the world economic crisis taking shape, they write, the steps taken to date are inadequate. "Unless massive efforts are undertaken to counteract the crisis, we could see prolonged stagnation, mass unemployment and deflation." Two of the politicians who signed the document are Ottmar Schreiner and Hilde Mattheis. Until recently, they supported a bailout package worth €25 billion ($32 billion). Just a few days later, they had upped the demand to €50 billion ($64 billion).
The SPD document envisions a broadening of tax exemptions, an "expansive wage policy," massive expansion of the transportation infrastructure and an increase in the standard rates paid to those receiving social security. The paper proposes to pay for the package by reintroducing the wealth tax and raising the highest tax rate.
'We Must Act Quickly'
Meetings of the SPD parliamentary group have likewise turned into something resembling an open-mike night. At a meeting last Tuesday, for example, environmental expert Ulrich Kelber called for increased government subsidies for environmental protection.Then it was healthcare expert Karl Lauterbach's turn. He grimly reminded his fellow politicians of the 1929 world economic crisis and called for the distribution of stimulus checks. Each adult, Lauterbach proposed, should receive €500 ($645), while children and adolescents should receive half that amount. "We must act quickly," Lauterbach told his fellow Social Democrats.
The situation is no less confusing in the conservative camp. Education Minister Annette Schavan (CDU) wants to spend €4.6 billion ($5.9 billion) on the education system—€100,000 ($129,000) for every school and €500,000 ($645,000) for every university—for renovations and modernization. The CSU, for its part, is demanding prompt tax cuts, while others in the party want to see health insurance premiums reduced and tax cuts.
"We must act now, quickly and on a large scale," Jürgen Rüttgers, the governor of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia told fellow party members in Duisburg last Friday. He called for a program to counteract recession—an open affront to the chancellor, and not the only one by far. "We are approaching an economic slump, and the chancellor is not setting the tone. I see this as a serious lapse," complains Josef Schlarmann, the head of the CDU's small business association. Merkel had the opportunity to present her concept at last week's CDU convention, says Schlarmann. "Instead, she says that all options are on the table. This, of course, is an invitation to everyone to take part in the discussion."
Bavarian Governor Horst Seehofer, in particular, has played the role of Merkel's adversary. When Seehofer read in the paper last Friday about the French-British pre-summit meeting, to which Merkel was not invited, he could hardly contain his schadenfreude. The news merely confirmed Seehofer's view that Merkel's approach to the crisis has been far too weak. "Now we are totally isolated internationally. We look like fools," one of his advisors said.
Contradictory Voices
The broad range of contradictory voices with which the governing parties are responding to the economic crisis is also reflected in the ministries. The ministries of economics and finance, in particular, have come up with completely contrary proposals. Finance Minister Steinbrück had in fact imposed a ban on further proposals from his ministry. A recent memo from Steinbrück's office instructed all department managers to stop considering economic stimulus programs altogether.
But the prohibition came too late. The experts in Steinbrück's ministry had already discussed all possible instruments at length.
The most noticeable thing about their efforts is how far the majority of bureaucrats at the ministry are removed from their minister. When the government was debating its first stimulus package, they recommended large, decisive steps. But Steinbrück and Merkel opted for the small-scale solution.
The civil servants at the finance ministry are surprised by Steinbrück's stubbornness. But they are convinced that their ideas will be revived by no later than the spring. They propose an assortment of measures to combat the crisis, including the stimulus checks so popular with the left wing of the SPD. Steinbrück's subordinates do not see the risk that the recipients could simply save the money, especially in light of the fact that one third of all German households have a savings rate of zero. Steinbrück's people are also considering short-term tax cuts and fee reductions. The package could also include government investment programs, especially for municipalities.
Officials at the Ministry of Economics, headed by Michael Glos (CSU), are preparing completely different plans. In keeping with CSU policy, Glos's staff favors a permanent tax cut, which would remain in place after the downturn. If the measure were implemented soon, it would also help the ailing economy.
A flatter income tax rate would also boost growth in the long term, Glos's economists argue. The Germans' chronic aversion to consumption, they believe, must be offset by long-term tax relief and, for this reason, they are opposed to one-time efforts like stimulus checks or a temporary reduction in the value-added tax. These measures, they argue, would be nothing but a flash in the pan.
Mowing Down Everything in its Past
In the end, the dispute between the SPD and the CDU/CSU, and between the ministries of finance and economics, will likely end in a compromise, a package that encompasses the preferred instruments of both sides: a few stimulus checks, a bit of an investment program, a small cut in premiums, all intended to give consumers a larger take-home pay in the long term.
Government officials are planning, for example, to reduce health insurance premiums temporarily. To pay for this, the government will use debt financing to increase its subsidies to the health insurance system by several billions of euros. The measure is intended to benefit employees only, while the employer share of premiums would remain unchanged.
But no matter how balanced and generous such a package ends up being, it could ultimately fail to achieve the desired result because it would be coming a critical few months too late. By the time the proposed measures are enacted, sometime in the spring, the crisis will have ballooned to its full proportions, and it will be much more difficult to provide a cushion against its adverse effects.
In a mounting crisis, as most economists agree, it is critical that countermeasures are decisive and are taken early. If a government spends too much time watching a drastic downturn while doing nothing, it contributes to the negative development taking hold.
The current downturn could behave like a rock that threatens to roll down a hill. It should be stopped early on, recommends one government expert. But once the boulder has gained momentum, it will simply mow down everything in its path.

Front/Rear Parksense?
I read in the owners manual that the 2014 Jeeps come with front and rear Parksense sensors. When I pull into my garage I have to pull in to about 6" of the wall, I never get any type of warning when I do this. I always get a warning when backing out. I do have the Advanced cruise control that has the round sensor in the front. Does having the ACC option not allow me to have the front Parksense option?
Re: Front/Rear Parksense?
Front park sensors are only available on the 2014 Summit and 2014 SRT I believe. It should be standard on Overland in my opinion. Maybe on the 2015 Overland...
What trim and options do you have? Front park assist are only STD on Summit... I guess they are optional on other trims... My 2014 Overland does not have it.
Re: Front/Rear Parksense?
This, in part is why we passed on a 2014 Overland. They aren't even available as an option!
I called Jeep and spoke to a Rep, who said I am far from the first to complain about this. Maybe 2015 will bring change. One can hope.
Re: Front/Rear Parksense?
Anyway to install the oem sensors on overland limited or Laredo that already has the rear sensors installed?
Re: Front/Rear Parksense?
I figure they did this to give the Summit more exclusive features to make the model stand above the Overland feature wise.
Re: Front/Rear Parksense?
I was told by the salesdroid that our Overland would have them if we got the Tech package. He didn't know what he was talking about. I should have compared the options between the Summit and Overland more thoroughly, but I didn't want a Summit anyway, because I couldn't get the 18s or an interior color I liked on it.
Re: Front/Rear Parksense?
anyone tried to retro fit the front park sensors on an overland yet? not sure why it wouldn't actually work? is there a connection some where for it by chance?
I have the park sense on mine just not the front.

"nothing special"
Had some potential, but the authors/narrators were so busy chatting that some of the information got lost or was never completely expressed. This was especially due to Christiane Northrup's propensity for rudly cutting in on Mona Lisa Schulz with some random unrelated question right when she was about sum up a thought.
"Women talking about women (mostly)"
I don't think I have ever heard a tape or cd like this one. It's as if you are sitting in a coffee shop listening to two very knowledgable women as they are discussing cases they have had at work. This recording is very relaxed and not at all clinical and I found the information it contained very useful. They almost talk over each other at times as their urgency to get their message across pushes them to speak. I recommend this very highly indeed. I was so disappointed when it finished.
"Surely has something of relevance for everyone?!"
I don't know if this will change my life, but there's lots of food for thought relating to health problems that, I and the people I know, have experienced. Very interesting indeed- I could probably listen to a whole bunch of these types of audiobooks and not get bored.

BOWLING GREEN - A Tampa, Fla., couple that donated one of the cars swallowed by a sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum says the car was "part of the family."
Kevin and Linda Helmintoller said they donated the red 2001 Mallett Hammer Conversion ZO6 Corvette just six weeks ago. They had not even travelled to see it at the museum yet before a sinkhole opened up early Wednesday morning and swallowed their car and seven other classic gems.
The couple visited the museum in Bowling Green on Saturday. Kevin Helmintoller said his car appeared to be underneath the others at the bottom of the hole.
"It definitely hurts, and I've cried," he said. "There's no question I'm definitely upset, but there's no way to conceive of anything like this."
Helmintoller said he discovered Corvettes at 16, when his aunt let him drive hers.
"I thought I'd died and gone to heaven," he said. "From that moment on, I said 'I'm going to own one of these.'"
He bought his first Corvette in 1996 and has owned a total of nine. The couple currently is on the waiting list for a Stingray.
Helmintoller said the Mallett Hammer that they donated had been on many racetracks and was so heavily modified that it was a little difficult to drive on the street. Donating it to the museum seemed like a good option.
"They would care about it as much as we do," Linda Helmintoller said.
Work to repair the Skydome, where the cars were located, should begin today, museum Executive Director Wendell Strode said. Stablizing the area so that the cars can be retrieved from the sinkhole could take from five to 10 days. The local fire department has estimated the hole is about 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep.
General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., has said it will manage the painstaking work of repairing the eight prize vehicles.
But Kevin Helmintoller says he isn't sure there will be much left of his beloved Corvette if and when they do pull it out.
"It appears ours is by far the lowest" in the sinkhole, Helmintoller said. "There's no sign of it."

I am almost finished with a sweater but have run into a BIG Problem!!The directions for the neck shaping (front) are wrong!!It is written in such a way that it doesn't leave me enough stitches to shape my shoulders (as done on the back).
The sweater is a very roomy pull-over.I have a total of 89 stitches on the needle.I'd like help creating a neck!!
The pattern had me shape the Shoulders, on the back, by Casting Off 9, 3 times & CO 8 once = 35 stiches so I need to do the same for the front.
The pattern, also had me work the neck and shoulders separately from each other. I am open for any suggestions in creating a scoop neck.
Ever so Grateful,g.
The front shoulders are going to be split, but there should still be enough sts on both sides to do the BO the same way.
What's the name of your pattern or a link to it or a picture? Or if you could write out just the shoulder shaping instructions for the front that would help. Also make sure you're starting with the right number of stitches for your size.

Ukip today plunged into a fresh racism row after one of its candidates accused Muslims of turning a north London shopping district into "Helmand Province".
German-born Heino Vockrodt, standing in Brent, also accused Muslims of "grooming children to sex slaves", branded Islam a "totalitarian ideology" and declared that "cultures are not all equal".
He made the claims in an email, sent to Brent council planners, which accused the Afghan community of ignoring the refusal of planning permission by building an extension to a cultural centre in Church Road, Willesden, and changing its use.
He wrote: "Being Muslims, they ignored both refusals and did it anyway.
"I accuse Brent council of turning a blind eye to this unlawful development for fear of being called racists when, just like in all the other cases where Muslims are grooming children to sex slaves under the eyes of the authorities, the council does nothing for [the sake of] political correctness."
Commercial consultant Mr Vockrodt, 52, added: "This neighbourhood is already exploding under the weight of segregation. All the old owners of the neighbouring shops have been squeezed out by Muslims. The entire parade — once lovely owner/occupier shops — resembles Helmand Province now.
"Islam is a totalitarian ideology. It is against multi-culturalism and everything modern Britain stands for."
Brent council leader Muhammed Butt said the email, sent in March last year, revealed "plainly bigoted views".

Tile patchwork?????
Had a shower pan crack and leak, now I am wondering if you think I can patch this all the way around, along with a Kerdi floor?
Basically the wall to the left and the wall straight ahead lost 2 rows of tile and the wall on the right lost 3.
I was thinking instead of going back with 1/2 rock and 1/2 in hardibacker, I would do 1/2 rock and 1/4 inch hardibacker, so that I could use Kerdi on the floor and up the walls 2 rows.
i would rip all that drywall out and do it right.
i would take all of the drywall out of the shower. that's the way they used to do it tho, with no waterproofing whatsoever. i don't know how many showers and tubs i have torn out over the years like that. most didn't know they had a problem til they leaned on the wall a little hard and it caved in. if you just want a quick fix for a short time you can anything you want. if you plan to stay there for a while tear it all out and do it right. putting kerdi around the bottom will work there but there is nothing behind the rest of the tile except drywall, correct? you can tell from the rusted nails that there has been moisture back there. the good side is if you plan to use kerdi on the walls you can use regular drywall. if you patch the wall make the seam under the middle of a tile. if its under a grout joint the water coming through the grout joint will have an easy path into the wall.
No actually the walls are 1/2 inch sheetrock and 1/2 inc Hardibacker.
Peal off a row or two of tile---we need to see if the backer board is still sound---
-and you will need to have the seam under the tile--and taped --with thinset and tilers mesh.
OK, but I can tell you its solid.
We do not repair showers that were built using wallboard. You'd have to remove more tiles exposing at least one row of good wallboard in order to do a half-*ss job. But then what would you replace the tiles with? Nothing is gonna match, waste of time and money.
OK so whats the tip for removing these 8 foot walls of tile, hardibacker and sheetrock?
Peal off the outside row of tiles----
and the top row---make a shallow saw cut at the nearest stud-
--bang a hand grip hole through the tile work--
-and pull off the entire wall in one hard pull.
Yeah, that looks like 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" tile so you can pop off the 2x6 trim and then use a sheetrock saw pressed up against the field tile to cut through everything. When you hit a stud just jump it and go back with a utility knife and deeply score it, then bust a handhold into the field tile somewhere and tear out the whole wall in one shot. You can then break the wall into smaller chunks as needed to make removal and disposal easier.
What are your plans for replacing the shower?
Are you a professional tile installer that is trained to properly install a "mud pan" shower? This is a rather significant undertaking that is not really a DIY project. I'm not saying that it can't be done, just that I've seen significantly more DIY failures than successes regarding this type of project.
If you are planning on trying to tackle this project yourself what are the steps, materials, tools, and installation methods you will take to turn this problem into a success?
My plans, are to use the Kerdi Shower System-Kit. Above average DIYER.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said his Islamic militant group (and political party) will abide by the U.N. cease-fire resolution but will continue fighting as long as Israeli troops remain in south Lebanon.
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday that the Islamic militant group will abide by a U.N. cease-fire resolution but will continue fighting as long as Israeli troops remained in south Lebanon.
Nasrallah grudgingly accepted the cease-fire plan in a televised address as the Lebanese Cabinet was in session to vote on whether to agree to the U.N. resolution. Hezbollah has two ministers in the government.
"We will not be an obstacle to any (government) decision ... but our ministers will express reservations about articles that we consider unjust and unfair," he said.

Vanessa Paradis Covers Jalouse October 2012
Just weeks after her new movie "Cornouaille" hit the box office, Vanessa Paradis garnered herself a little added exposure by covering the October 2012 issue of Jalousemagazine.
The newly-single 39-year-old French beauty looked enchanting in a tweed jacket with Chanel Lurex accessorized with a Maison Michel suede beret and cotton, lace and silk Hanro panties for the Alexei Hay shot front page while dishing about life as an actress and why she's not in more international films.
A few highlights from Miss Paradis' interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Jalouse!
On her Odile character:
"This is a woman in control, which certainly leaves no room for pain but also not happiness. She buried her suffering child to follow a mapped highway from which she does not deviate. Having to go to Britain and these encounters will force her to open to life."
On why she's not in more international productions:
"What intrigues people was that I spent a portion of my life in Los Angeles, but in fact I am absolutely satisfied by everything I do in France."

|Be sure to include animals and people.
Some kids are literal and may think that
only animals are characters since many
early books have animals as main characters.

Happy Teaching and Learning!

yay for the top contenders!
