kenmore dishwasher problem
It looks like I found the problem. An open bi-metal thermal switch. Now the question: what's the root cause? What's the most likely cause for this thing to trip?
My Kenmore/Whirlpool dishwasher is on the blink again. When it works it's great. But it frequently doesn't. Symptom was random flashing lights on the display. A controller fixed it for a few months. Then a keypad fixed it for a few more. Last night it stopped mid-cycle, display is dark. Receptacle has power. Latch switches check OK.
I'd love a tip to get it fixed. I'm just as interested in any recommendations on a dishwasher that will continue to work beyond the warranty period.
Any ideas what might cause the non-resettable bimetal to open?
That's a safety for too hot in control area. it usually fails though due to bad wiring connections. they have a model specfic repl kit-if you DIY follow all instructions exactly.
So the kit replaces more than just the bi-metal device? Would this be a Sears only part or available from the local Appliance Repair Parts store?
kit should consist of 2 new door switches a wire receptacle block and disc. Any appliance store should be a ble to get it
hate to say it.... get a new dishwasher you have had to many issues with this lemon "its a money pit"
Ben, I was thinking the same thing. I'm ready to paint a lemon on the door and chain it to the lightpost in front of Sears. But this repair is just $25. I figure I'll try it. Besides, my wife picked up the part already. I'm curious why the kit's instructions have you cut the wire and use a junction block, rather than just plug it into the existing harness. Maybe someone at Whirlpool can answer that if I call. The folks at Sears sure can't.
I put in the new thermal breaker last night. Dishwasher works great again. Thanks for everyone's help. I even have a theory why the other components failed. A couple of weeks ago, I was hooking up the wires, at the panel, to the new addition. I found a loose neutral. It was making connection, until it got bumped. I worked my way across the bus, tightening screws. Only one loose one, but it went to the kitchen.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a 07 sti with stage 2 cobb tbe and accesport and on my way to work this morning the cel came on, so i scanned it and it came up with a p0420, lean cat eff, so i was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience with this. I was thinking it could be a bad 02 since the cat it new, i installed the dp about 2 months ago and haven't had a problem since, and i'm running the ap on 91 oct stage 2 map, so any insight on this would be great.

At the moment I have all my body armor and soft parts squeezed into a rather large rolling suitcase which works decently but there is no way to fit the helmet in with it all and i am concerned about transporting it to event (ie.) putting it on airplanes, bus, trains cabs etc. I thought about maybe getting a hat box? but honestly I would feel better with something more secure. Let's see what you all are doing!

Keep Your Tank Full
In His Presence: Psalms 27:14
"Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand" - (Psalm 95:6-7).
Most Christians view worship as an event instead of a lifestyle. But our day of worship is not supposed to replace our weekday and weekend worship. Sunday is supposed to launch us into our week of worship. Worship is meant to be a lifestyle, not an event.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit and with a heart full of worship for our great God and King, we must be like a car pulling up to a filling station to receive a full tank of gasoline. Once we are filled up, do we park our vehicle and sit there the rest of the week? No, we go to a filling station to get what we need to leave the station. We have a destination and need full tanks to get there.
A problem occurs when we leave the station. As soon as we walk out of our Sunday worship, people begin to burn up that fuel inside them. Our mates, children, and work burn it up. When we leave our church, we are full of God's presence and glory from our time in corporate worship. But Satan's job is to burn up that fuel. The worst thing we can do is to wait until next Sunday to worship. We need to drink continually to stay filled.
One Minute Please
What we do on Sunday must become a way of life to remain filled with the Holy Spirit.

Rather than viewing the cross as an historical event that will take us to heaven, we ought to view it as a current event containing everything we need to bring heaven to bear on earth.
In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans carefully and pastorally applies the cross of Christ to life today. In three parts, he considers:
• What makes Christ unique; how Old Testament prophecy and typology looked ahead to Him; and how His humiliation, death and resurrection sets Him apart as Lord
• What was accomplished on the cross for us, how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives, and how it's a source of authority for us
• What is the power of the cross and the stability it provides, deliverance it offers, the power of its ongoing remembrance, and more
The cross is the hinge of history. How much more, then, is it the hinge of your life? It gained more for you than you may realize; do not make the grave error of overlooking it. As a thank you for your gift of any amount, we'll get this brand new book, The Power of the Cross, out to you right away.

We are a gadget-loving society and we love our gadgets to do fun things that keep us entertained or go above and beyond basic functionality. When it comes to our technological wonders, we are attracted by the "cool factor." As Bryan Sullivan notes in this article, unfortuntately those bells and whistles come with a price that must be paid for the sake of security.
I would be willing to bet that most of the people reading this article would identify themselves as gadget guys or girls." Admit it: you've always got to have the latest video game console, cell phone, or whatever is the newest technology. You buy your new cars packed with bells and whistles like GPS navigation systems and Blu-ray players. You like the software you use, both that which you use and that which you develop yourself, the same way. Speaking on behalf of the entire programming community, I can say that we love to add new, shiny features to our applications. Best of all, these "exciter" and "delighter" features go a long way towards keeping users happy, too.
Unfortunately, there is a downside. Every new bell or whistle you add to your application represents a new potential for something to break. More to the point of this article, it represents a new potential vulnerability that an attacker could exploit. In security parlance this is called "attack surface." For example, take the GPS navigation system I mentioned earlier. These systems can help you find the closest gas station if you're getting low on gas. They can help you find your way home if you're lost. They can do all sorts of helpful things, but they also add a certain amount of attack surface. If a car thief steals your car, he can use the "home" feature on your GPS to find your house and rob that, too. He can even use your automatic garage door opener to let himself in your house without having to break down the back door.
This example may be a bit extreme, but real-world examples of software vulnerabilities are easy to find. For example, the vulnerability CVE-2007-2815 in IIS 5.0 allowed remote attackers to bypass authentication and access private files on the server. What makes this vulnerability particularly relevant in terms of attack surface is that IIS 5.0 was installed by default on Windows 2000. So, every Windows 2000 machine had to be patched in order to defend against this attack, whether or not that machine was actually being used as a Web server. Thousands,

Toyota has improved its voice command substantially in the Camry, as well. When I activated the system, a list of available commands popped up on the LCD, a useful helper. The system did well understanding addresses for navigation, and was even able to understand commands to play artists and albums. At least, that is, when the iPod connection was actually working.
A USB drive proved a more reliable audio source. The Camry XLE also came with satellite radio, as mentioned above, and HD Radio for FM broadcast. This new band for Toyota also had a button on the interface for tagging songs, which saves their information to a connected iPod, making it easy to find those songs in the iTunes store when the iPod is synced with a computer.
The audio system in the Camry XLE was an interesting bit of energy-efficient technology from JBL. Called GreenEdge, this system is supposed to produce robust audio without heavy power consumption. As such, JBL doesn't advertise the system's watts, a specification often used to tout the quality of a system.
Whatever its power, the sound coming through its 10 speakers was very well defined. Although not at the level of a really high-end audio system, it was certainly better than most car audio systems, and probably the best ever in a Camry. Playing music quietly, I found it was still easy to hear some of the more buried layers in a track. And the system did not skimp on the bass, giving a good punch to tracks with a lot of thump.
The available engines don't show the same drive for efficiency as the stereo. CNET's review car came with the most powerful option, a 3.5-liter V-6, which generates 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. These numbers are not particularly impressive when competitive six-cylinder engines rate around 300 horsepower. Toyota continues to rely on its variable valve timing technology, not pushing into the more advanced efficiency technology being used by the competition.
But this engine did a fine job of moving the Camry. Over hills, merging into traffic, and maintaining freeway speeds, the power came in handy, driving the car with ease. The power gets to the front wheel through a six-speed automatic transmission, a unit that has become standard in Lexus and Toyota models. This transmission includes manual and sport modes, although the latter doesn't make a lot of sense for the Camry.
The ride quality felt very solid, the Camry trundling over bumps in the road with businesslike professionalism. It dealt with the jolts quickly, with minimal disturbance to the passenger compartment. This suspension was not soft, so the car did not wallow in tight turns.
Toyota made much of the new Camry's enhanced stability, so much that I had the opportunity earlier this year to compare it on an autocross course with the previous-generation model. The autocross consisted of a cone course with many tight turns and one straight long enough to get the car up to 50 mph. Although the improved stability was obvious, there was no mistaking the Camry for a Mini Cooper. Click here to read more about how the Camry fared on the autocross course.
The V-6 only gets 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, according to EPA estimates, while the available 2.5-liter four-cylinder gets 25 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. Neither engine shows remarkable fuel economy, but potential buyers should definitely consider the smaller engine. Although only making 178 horsepower, it is adequate for most needs.
Still, the choice that makes the most sense is the 2012 Camry Hybrid, which should average about 40 mpg. Its total system output is 200 horsepower, striking a good balance between the two gas-only engines. The Camry Hybrid can also be had in high XLE trim, with all the cabin electronics of the V-6 version.
In sum
The real highlight of the 2012 Toyota Camry XLE is the new cabin tech. The new app integration with Entune should have helped the car achieve a better score, but I had to downgrade it a little due to the connectivity problems I encountered. But the new voice command, navigation system, and JBL GreenEdge stereo help the overall score.
Although the six-speed automatic transmission and electric power-steering system are good for efficiency, the tired tech of the V-6 weighed down the performance tech score. The Camry Hybrid would have earned more points in this regard.
One last note: the Camry XLE with the V-6 engine is the most expensive model in the lineup, with the price of our car coming in well above $30,000. For that kind of money, models from premium marques such as Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota's own Lexus brand, become available.

WASHINGTON - Fresh off a tour of Colombia, Rep. Jim Matheson says a free trade agreement with that South American country could boost its strength as a U.S. ally, a point President Bush also stressed Tuesday.
Matheson, a Utah Democrat, spent three days in Colombia this weekend with several other members of Congress, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez. They met with President Alvaro Uribe and toured parts of the nation that Matheson says even police would not dare to visit just a few years ago.
"There's just been a real transformation in this country," Matheson says. "This is a country that has made tremendous strides to provide security for its population . . . [however], they're clearly very open about all the challenges they face."
Indeed, while Matheson and other U.S. officials were taking in the local scene and learning about the changes going on in Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador both sent troops to the Colombia border after Colombian commandos killed Raul Reyes, a top leader of the guerilla army FARC.
The Associated Press reported that the Colombian government denied it assassinated Reyes and just found his body, though Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called that a lie.
Matheson says he was told of the military actions by Uribe but didn't see any of it firsthand during his trip. He said Colombians were celebrating in the street.
Bush tied the Colombian national security - and by extension, its ability to serve as a strong U.S. ally in the region - to a free trade agreement between the United States and Colombia.
"President Uribe told me that one of the most important ways America can demonstrate its support for Colombia is by moving forward with a free trade agreement that we negotiated," Bush said in a Rose Garden speech.
"The free trade agreement will show the Colombian people that democracy and free enterprise lead to a better life. It will help President Uribe counter the radical vision of those who are seeking to undermine democracy and create divisions within our hemisphere," Bush said.
Matheson says a fair trade agreement with Colombia - the U.S. already has an agreement with Central American countries as well as Mexico and Canada - would help augment the relationship between the U.S. and Colombia and boost the economics of both as well.
He added that the delegation, organized by the Commerce Department, also spent time learning how Colombian officials are fighting to curb the production of drugs in the nation and how the United States may be able to help stem the flow of cocaine.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers Reaches Landmark $62 Million Settlement With Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company.
Record multi-state agreement follows $58 million May settlement with Merck
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced a record $62 million settlement with Eli Lilly and Company arising from alleged improper marketing of the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa. Myers, joined by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, led the 33-state action, under which Oregon will receive more than $2.5 million.
"By now, we hope the entire United States pharmaceutical industry is on notice that Oregon will not tolerate the deceptive and unfair marketing and promotion of prescription drugs," Myers said. "Not only are we securing significant changes in the operation of these huge drug conglomerates, but we are leading the way for our colleagues in the other states and territories to do the same."
In a complaint filed today along with the settlement agreement, Myers and Assistant Attorney General David Hart, lead attorney in Oregon's enforcement actions against the pharmaceutical industry, alleged that Eli Lilly engaged in unfair and deceptive practices when it marketed Zyprexa for off-label uses and for failing to adequately disclose the drug's potential side effects to health care providers. Following a year and a half investigation by the states, Eli Lilly agreed to significantly reform how it markets Zyprexa.
Zyprexa is the brand name for the prescription drug Olanzapine. The drug was first marketed for use in adults with schizophrenia in 1996. Since then, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Zyprexa for the treatment of acute mixed or manic episodes of bipolar I disorder and for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder.
Zyprexa belongs to a class of drugs traditionally used to treat schizophrenia and commonly referred to as "atypical antipsychotics." When these drugs were first introduced to the market in the 1990s, experts thought that atypical antipsychotics would be less likely to produce symptoms similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease (extra pyramidal symptoms), and motion disorders (tardive dyskinesia), and therefore could be used in long-term treatment of schizophrenia. While these drugs may reduce the risk of these symptoms associated with first-generation antipsychotics, they also produce dangerous side effects, including weight gain, hyperglycemia, diabetes, cardiovascular complications, and increased risk of mortality in elderly patients with dementia. Zyprexa has been associated with an especially high risk of weight gain, hyperglycemia, and diabetes.
Oregon's complaint alleges that Eli Lilly failed to adequately disclose these side effects and that the company promoted Zyprexa for a number of "off-label" uses including pediatric use, use at high dose levels, treatment of psychiatric symptoms rather than diagnosed disorders, and in the elderly for the treatment and/or chemical restraint of patients suffering from dementia. "Off-label" uses are uses that are not approved by the FDA. While a physician is allowed to prescribe drugs for off-label uses, law prohibits pharmaceutical manufacturers from marketing their products for off-label uses.
The settlement mandates that Eli Lilly will:
Promotional Activities
Dissemination of Medical Information
Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Grants
Payments to Consultants and Speakers
Product Samples
Clinical Research
The 33 participating states in the settlement in addition to Oregon and Illinois are: Arizona, Alabama, California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.
Oregonians wanting more information about this case and others concerning the pharmaceutical industry and Oregon consumer protection issues may call the Attorney General's consumer hotline at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5729 (Portland area only) or toll-free at 1-877-877-9392.

Favourite lamb casserole recipe
Budget, Casseroles & stews, Dinner, Lamb
- 1kg lamb forequarter chops
- 3tbsp olive oil
- 2tbsp dried rosemary, or 3 stalks of fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp powdered mixed spice
- ½ cup plain flour
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 4 potatoes, optional
- 2tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 x 420g tins diced tomatoes
- 1½ cups water
Preheat oven to 180°C.
De-stem rosemary if using fresh and put it with 1tsp of olive oil, and the mixed spice in a mortar and pestle and mash until the rosemary fragrance is released into the oil.
Brush oil onto one side of the lamb and dust all sides with flour, set aside.
Chop all vegetables and set aside.
Pour oil into the bottom of casserole dish/pan and place on the stove, heat oil until it sizzles. Brown lamb well a few pieces at a time and set aside on a plate.
When all the lamb is brown, keep the casserole dish on the heat and add balsamic vinegar to the dish - this will caramelise, but stir around the bottom of the pan as it will help dislodge any stuck cooked bits.
Add the vegies and stir to ensure all covered with vinegar, then add white wine. Continue stirring until they are soft (about 3-4 mins).
Add tomatoes and water and then return the lamb back to dish. Put lid on and place in the oven.
Turn down the heat to 150°C and leave for 3 hours.
Serve with rice or mash potato/pumpkin.
- This is one of the dishes at the top of my hubby's list as far as meals that I make. I started making it shortly before we got married and I used a Jamie Oliver recipe, but since then it has morphed and I now make it to make use of root vegetables either in excess or getting a bit on the old side.
- For this recipe, you'll need to use either a very large roasting tray, a Dutch oven or a large casserole dish with a lid.
- I use lamb forequarter chops – cheap, meaty and can stand a lot of cooking - but you could use any cut of lamb you like.
- This recipe was created by Melissa Klemke for Kidspot, New Zealand's best recipe finder.

Every so often I feel it is important to bring a kid story to the forefront. This week I thought I'd share something that happened in a DC4K group I was leading.
A six year old boy in our group had been diagnosed with PTSD. We'll call him Jack. For the most part, Jack was pretty out of control each week when he came to DC4K. We could usually get him in control but it normally it took some time for Jack to transition from his chaotic home life to DC4K. Most of the time, he simply brought the chaos from his home life right into our group.
One week, Jack wasn't in class. When he came the following week, he was raring to go. Jack was in the fight/flight mode of his brain. He hid his head in the hood of his coat and refused to make eye contact with anyone. His mom dragged him up the stairs of the church and through the door. She looked at me somewhat exacerbated and mouthed, "Good luck" as she almost pushed him into our room.
I took a deep breath to stay calm and said,
"Well, look at you. Your head is hiding in your hood like this."
I imitated him. I was describing Jack's actions. See, when a child is in the lower level of the brain (the fight or flight part of the brain), it is important to describe their actions. I didn't say,
"Come on, quit being silly. Let me see that smiling face."
Many times we "kid people" try to "happy up" a child. In cases like Jack's though, he didn't have much to be happy about. However, in describing a child's actions you can cause the child to look to see what you are doing.
As my little friend peeked out, I said,
"I really missed you last week, and I sure could use one of your special hugs if you want to give me one."
I described his action, and then when he looked at me I gave him a choice. He came over and gave me a quick hug. It was a simple gesture, but it was enough to pull him up out of his fight or flight mode. He quickly got into the activities we had set up, and soon it was time for our circle up. He came right over and sat down on the floor next to me. After our video, I was going to skim through the read aloud story. I rarely read the entire story word for word.
On this particular evening this little guy's sister sat on the floor just on other side of me. Both of these siblings were virtually sitting on top of me. The sister started to read right alongside of me. She corrected me every time I left out even the smallest word. It was an amazing experience. I could feel the Lord taking over. The entire room got quiet as I read the long story. You could have heard a pin drop it was so quiet. None of the kids were fidgeting or moving around.
Since we were sitting on the floor Jack started scooting down next to me until he ended up lying on a little pillow with his head right next to my leg. I laid my hand on his back and started patting him gently as I read the story. You could feel the peace of the Father take over. Later, one of the other leaders from our group told me,
"I wish you could've seen his face when you started patting his back. A complete peace came over him and you could see it on his face. I've never seen anything like that before."
Jack went right to sleep as I kept reading the story with his sister tracking me.
In that moment, the thought occurred to me,
"What better place to sleep than in the Lord's house and in His arms."
After the story was over, I grabbed a blanket and threw it over him as the rest of the group continued on with the evening's activities. This little fellow who never sleeps soundly at home, slept the entire evening. We had one of our teen helpers pick him up and carry him to his mother's car after our session. The next week, Mom told me that she took Jack in the house that night, put him to bed, and he didn't wake until the next morning. Peace – blessed peace!
Many times as leaders we have a set agenda, or we think we know how things should go. I think sometimes we quench the movement of the Holy Spirit because of our own agendas. We have to read a story; do a project; sing a song; make sure every kid is listening.
I realize there are going to be people who will criticize me for allowing this child to sleep. There are others that are thinking, "I'd let him sleep just to keep him out of my hair!" This child needed some rest. He felt safe. He felt calm. I'm sure he felt loved and cared for. More than anything I think he felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in our midst.
"When children are part of a close-knit group, they feel safe and know they are not abandoned. They enjoy life in the shadows of taller people who genuinely care about what happens to them." Dr. Wess Stafford, "Too Small To Ignore" (Waterbrook Press)

Jun 5, 2014 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorThe only loss for the Riverton Renegades is a 1-0 defeat to Laramie on the road.
The mission for the Riverton Renegades, an age 14-and-under traveling baseball team, is to play as many competitive games as possible this summer.
The Renegades are fresh off winning a tournament Friday and Saturday in Buffalo.
Riverton has a mixture of 13- to 14-years-olds on the roster.
"The kids have played a lot of baseball together over the last couple of years," Riverton coach Scott Fabricus said. "They are just getting better and better. The key to baseball is playing a lot of baseball. Game situations are hard to have in practice."
The team has compiled a 13-1 overall record to start the season.
"The 13-years-old are doing fine," Fabricus said. "We played a lot of 50-70 baseball last year, with the same full baseball rules," he added, referring to games with infield measurements bigger than Little League but smaller than Babe Ruth baseball.
"It hasn't been that big of an adjustment other than the size of the field."
The team's only loss was 1-0 to Laramie on the road.
Riverton heads to Powell this weekend for a tournament. In two weeks, the Renegades play a tournament in Scottsbluff, Neb., then
play in a Casper event later this month.
Mike Fisher is the manager. Shane Lassiter and Les Wempen are the other coaches with Fabricus.
"It takes a lot of different people to put something like this together," Fabricus said.
Buffalo tournament
"They just got better each game," Fabricus said. "They hit the ball well. Our pitching is coming around. You can tell that they are starting to come together."
Riverton blanked Buffalo 8-0.
In the victory, Dillon Fabricus pitched four innings. He allowed three hits and struck out three.
Matt Fisher pitched the final scoreless inning.
At the plate, Fabricus and Ridge McCoy had two hits apiece.
Riverton pounded Newcastle 17-8.
Riverton's offense was credited with 11 hits.
McCoy paced the team with three hits. Kyren Higgs added two.
Higgs and Jaren Draper shared time on the mound in the win.
Coach Fabricus said the tournament highlight was beating Lead, S.D., twice in two days.
"Lead brought several players that were American Legion-aged kids," Fabricus said.
Riverton edged Lead 6-5 in the first game.
Brodie Roden recorded the win, going four innings on the mound. He yielded five hits and struck out three. McCoy had a team-high two hits.
In the title game of the tournament, Riverton won 6-0 over Lead.
"By then, we had more depth in our pitching," Fabricus said.
Riverton's Hayden Wempen tossed a two-hitter in six innings of work, striking out six.
"It has been pitching by committee so far this year," Fabricus said.
"We don't want to overwork anybody because we are also playing league baseball. We try to spread the pitching out among everybody."
League play
Fabricus also is the president of the Riverton Babe Ruth League this season. The league is for players ages 13-15.
There are six teams, with games all week at the Riverton Babe Ruth Field.
Teams in the league from Riverton are the Phillies, Yankees, Giants and Rockies.
There also are two Lander squads in the league.
Babe Ruthteams are playing a 12-game schedule this year.
The season ends later this month.

Repairing Walls after a Tile Removal
I removed a bunch of tile that pretty much killed my bathroom walls. I was going to throw some sheetrock joint compound on it but I don't know if that will do the trick.
It will be less work to simply replace that dry wall--
If you wish to repair it----prime well with Guards--
remove and loose paper and skim coat with Multi Purpose drywall compound---It contains glue and will bond best to the rough paper---
if the paper continues to bubble up from the wet compound--stop--cut out the bubbled paper---soak with more guards--and go at it again.
Thin coats----I suggest you use light weight compound for the top coat---it's easier to sand than multi-purpose
What are guards?
Sorry, I wasn't clear----
Guards is a liquid primer---it's clear and dries fast and is the ideal primer for ripped up drywall---
Wallpaper Removal Gone Awry. Advice To Get Back On Track? - Painting - DIY Chatroom - DIY Home Improvement Forum
i miss spelled that primer--'Gardz' is the right spelling (I think)

Thats right my car is up for sale. For those of you that know me know that this has been an ongoing project for the last 8-9 years, there is allot of blood sweat and tears to build what I believe is the perfect all around mk3. It has plenty of power (605 whp and 550 TQ) on PUMP GAS, it handles and stops great with upgraded suspension including arms, braces, bushings and big brake kit. It looks awsome with custom one of a kind body work and paint. The interior is a full Recaro Turbo R spec with recovered seats, grey interior and an assortment of guages to monitor the vitals.
Like I said before, this car needs NOTHING !!! Everything has been restored, replaced, repaired and upgraded. Some of the recent work includes, new tires, brakes and rebuilt transmission and twin plate OSG clutch with in the last year, actually the tires only have a few hundred KM's on them. The car was a daily driver until about 5 years ago when it has only seen summer driving since. This car is 100% reliable as I wouldnt hesitate t drive it across the country tomorrow (weather permitting ), I have driven it to Las Vegas twice for SILV without issues. The A/C works great, and the power steering and ABS hasnt been stripped out like most people do when building a car.
The custom body work was done by myself when I was a Autobody tech years ago. The side moldings have been shaved and smoothed, filled with steel welded in, no bondo filler hack job here. Any minor rust and dent were taken care of at the time. The Silverstone Metallic paint is in great shape, as the front nose, bumper, fenders and hood were repainted two years ago due to some rock chips.
Now to the engine, the 1jz swap was professionally done by myself ( BIC Performance) and runs like a top. The engine is stock and un-opened with the only mod being US Spec 2jz cams machined to fit, which really woke up the upper RPMs. The custom one off turbo kit uses an amazingly quick spooling Borg Warner 88-75 (63MM) twin scroll turbo and makes full boost 27 psi at under 4200 rpms. An AEM water Meth kit allow the high boost on 94 oct pump gas. At my normal daily driving boost setting of 19-20 psi, it makes over 500 WHP and easilly spins the 275 tires in second gear from a roll. This turbo flows like T67 (700+ HP) and spools like a T61, I feel it is the ultimate 550 + HP capable turbo on the 1jz as we have tried many different turbo's on these engines. The Haltech Sport 2000 EMS has been professionally installed and tuned by Bill Bowring from The Independant Speed Shop with a full new custom made engine harness with wire tuck. It runs better than a stock car as allot of time was put into the full load cell tune with much attention to the drivability aspect of the tune.
Here is the mod list:
2.5L 1JZGTE Engine swap.
Custom USDM 2JZGTE Cam shafts .
BIC Performance Borg Warner 63mm Turbo kit.
Tial 44mm Wastegate.
BIC Performance 3.5 Downpipe.
BIC Performance 3.5 Thunder exhaust System.
750cc Fuel Injectors.
BIC Custom Fuel Rail.
Denso MK4 Fuel pump with inline Bosch 044 booster pump .
Haltech Platinum Sport 2000 EMS, with full custom harness
Custom 1ZZ / 2ZZ Ignition Coil Conversion.
AEM Water/ Methanol Injection.
Koyo Racing Radiator.
Custom Turbonetics Intercooler.
2.5 SS Intercooler piping.
Tial Blow Off Valve.
OS Giken Twin Plate Racing Clutch. Rebuilt 2000 KMs ago, the Transmisison has also been rebuilt and beefed up with Marlin Crawler parts.
Nightpager Big Brake kit.
NEW Hawk HPS Brake Pads.
ATE Dot 4 Brake Fluid.
Earls Braided Brake Lines.
JDM Turbo-R Springs with Bilstien Struts.
Suspension Techniques Anti Sway-Bars.
BIC Adjustable End-links
Poly Rack and Suspension Bushings
BIC Poly Subframe Bushings.
BIC 1.25 DOM Control Arms, trailing and #1 arms.
Body side moldings removed and shaved.
Shaved Antenna, Maker Lights, Headlight Squirters.
92 Supra Bumpers, Wing, Mirrors, Tail Lights.
Trial Front Bumper Lower Lip.
Turbo-A front Bumper Duct.
Tinted Signal and Brake Lights.
Bi-Xenon HID Headlights.
Color: Silverstone Mettalic.
JDM Recaro Seats and Interior.
Gauges: Boost, Wideband 02, EGT, Water Temp, Oil pressure.
- SSR D5R wheels, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with Toyo T1R tires.
Performance Stats:
Horse Power: 605 HP, 550 TQ @ 27 PSI Boost with, 94 Pump gas with 50/50 water / meth mix.
Best 1/4 mile 12.01 at 119 MPH, badly spinning the drag radials.
Asking $18 500 OBO It would cost well over $40 000 to build this again. This is your chance to buy a finished car for less than half of what it would cost to build. I do not need to sell the car, so if I dont get a fair price I will keep it and enjoy it for years to come. So no low ballers as you will be ignored.

Everybody wants something better for their children than they had for themselves. It's a function of the American dream. It's also a manufacturer's dream. The hottest new toy can create a frenzy around the holiday season that can only be duplicated in certain shark-infested waters in the Pacific. But when you're buying a gift this season, think ahead. We'd like to suggest that you don't buy your child something they're screaming to have—buy them something that could make a difference in their lives, something that could steer them toward a career, or interest them in something constructive.
And you will be, my little Margaret Bourke-White or Ansel Adams. You will be. When you get a little older and Mommy doesn't have to worry about you leaving your camera on the playground, we'll look into the Olympus VG-160 Digital Camera. This is more than a toy—it's a big-kid camera with a 14MP CCD imaging sensor that lets you take great pictures and record 720p HD video. A 3.0" LCD screen and 5x wide-angle zoom lens help you take great pictures, and additional features like digital image stabilization, Intelligent Auto + Shadow Adjustment, AF Tracking and Magic Art Filters will also help your budding interest in photography.
We can also look at the Canon PowerShot A2300 Digital Camera in a variety of colors and kits. These cameras feature 16MP resolution, 1 2/3" CCD image sensors and Digic 4 image processing, which Mommy is told is very good. The 5-25mm (35mm equivalent: 28-140mm) lens and 5x optical/4x digital zoom will help you take grown-up-looking pictures, and you can record HD video at 720p resolution as well.
If you want to come back with Mommy to the B&H SuperStore later, they have a whole department of very nice Sales Professionals who know just about everything camera-related. Then you can ask them all kinds of questions…and…and…
Susie, darling, what are you doing over by the pianos? Oh, I give up. If you want to be a musician, go talk to your father.
Oh really, Susie Q? You couldn't aspire to be something a little less heartbreaking for Daddy, like a scientist or a world leader? Oh, fine. If you're going to be a pop star, we're going to want to start you off with a nice set of headphones, because in order to make music, you have to appreciate music.
Daddy is very concerned about protecting your hearing, so he's thinking of buying the Etymotic Research ETY-Kids 5 Safe-Listening In-Ear Stereo Headphones. These kids-safe earphones are made for people with sensitive ears, and come with ACCUtip comfort ear buds. The noise dynamics never approach a dangerous level, so they're perfect for you, because many times the noise that comes out of you gives Daddy a headache. I'm also considering the ETY-Kids 3 Safe-Listening In-Ear Stereo Headphones with Mic/Remote, which does the same but includes an inline microphone and remote, and works with the free AWARENESS isolation app that lets you hear your surroundings even as you listen to your music.
Daddy's old-fashioned? You bet I am. But I can be cool and hip, too. Word. Like when I saw these Angry Bird earphones. I know all the kids these days love the aviary gaming antics of these feathered friends, and I thought you might, too. The 3.5mm jacks will fit almost any music player, and they come with three sizes of earbuds. Oh, yeah, check it out, sweetie. I also found Angry Bird speakers for your iPad, iPhone or iPod. In case you want to share your music with your brother.
You could also try the Sony MDR-222KD Children's Stereo Headphones in black or pink. These kid-friendly headphones don't go in your ear, they go on it. And the volume levels never get too loud, so they're safer to use over a longer period of time. The adjustable headband and lighter weight also make this kid-comfy.
You know how Daddy always tells you things go in one ear and out the other? Daddy remembers, because he's also thinking of getting you the Cyber Acoustics AC-8000 Stereo Headset for Kids. They feature individual ear cup volume adjusters, so if one ear is weak you can control the volume for stereo synchronicity. Synchronicity? It's another word for balance, honey. It also features built-in Sound Level Limiting for tender ears like yours.
Now what's this about being a Pop Star? You don't even like going to your piano lessons, even though Daddy was thinking of getting you the Casio LK-240 61-Note Keyboard with Lighted, Piano-Style Keys. The touch-sensitive keys and onboard digital effects should be enough to keep you interested, but it also has light-up keys to make your lessons go smoother, and 110 songs built in. Do I have to say pretty-please? How about if Daddy sprang for the Yamaha EZ-220 Lighted 61-key Portable Keyboard? It's loaded with learning tools, 100 preset songs and 392 pre-loaded voices. It can also wirelessly connect to my iPad and use the free Yamaha Page Turner app, and it includes the very popular Yamaha Education Suite interactive music learning system and chord dictionary.
Susie, where are you going? Those are video cameras. If you want something that high-end for the holidays, talk to Grandma.
Oh really? Well, you know Grandma wants you to be anything your little heart desires, so if you want to direct high-budget movies, let's see what B&H has for you!
The Sony MHS-TS20 8GB Bloggie Touch Camera in black has Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution for high-quality recording, a 13MP 1/2.5" Sony Exmor CMOS sensor with 4x digital zoom, and a 3" LCD touch screen. It has 8GB of internal flash memory for up to four hours of HD video, and cool extras like SteadyShot image stabilization and face detection technology for tagging your friends when posting to social media sites. It also has an HDMI output so that you can come to Grandma's and show her the footage you've shot during the day.
The Coleman Waterproof Pocket Video Camera in blue, red and green, also records Full HD, but with an action-camera twist. The 8MP resolution, 3X digital zoom and 2" color LTPS LCD can be taken anywhere you go—to the mountains, the ocean or even the backyard. It's waterproof to a depth-rating of 10 feet (3 m) and supports micro SD/SDHC memory cards so you can expand the storage for your movies. It also has HDMI out so you can show Grandma all your hard work.
But if you want to fund your big-screen dreams, go talk to your Grandpa over by the computer section.
Well, you want to be a photographer/pop star/movie maker, huh? Grandpa understands. When you're young, you want to be everything—and you should! But let's remember that a holiday gift should also be fun. Grandpa has been talking to the nice Sales Professional here, and we've come up with these tablets you might like.
The Ematic FunTab Pro is a multi-touch-screen tablet with Android 4.0 installed as the operating system. Android 4.0? That's an operating system, also called Ice Cream Sandwich, that is perfect for games and apps, like the ones found on the FunTab pro. The great thing about the FunTab Pro is that it uses the Zoodles interface that adapts to a child's age and skill level, and provides your parents with a progress report to let you know how you're doing. Well, it is their business, honey—they're paying for the tablet. It also features games I know you love, like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope. And on those days when Mommy or Daddy are too busy to read to you, they can record themselves with any webcam and send it to your FunTab Pro.
Another great tablet is the nabi 2, a new interactive tablet that features a 7" touch-screen display, 1024 x 600 resolution, Tegra 3 quad-core processor for super-fast game playing and 8GB of storage (with a microSD card slot so Grandpa can add an additional 32GB of storage). It includes a 2MP front-facing webcam and can record HD 720p video. But best of all, it has parent-approved apps, activities (like a Chore Calendar, yuck!) and both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. It also runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Speaking of ice cream, what say we give your parents and Grandma a break and go get some ice cream? If there are any questions we forgot to ask, we can always contact the nice B&H Sales Professionals via live chat or over the phone at 1-800-606-6969.

I know these labels are condescending, but in the spirit of brutal honesty I would admit I fall into one of them.
A sensible person would buy an Audi A6 or a Lexus GS350 instead of a 535i. But we aren't making a sensible choice here. We are making an emotional one. Which is why I drive an M5.

The Pubcookie ISAPI filter uses the Internet Server Application
Programming Interface (ISAPI)
and the OpenSSL cryptography library to add Pubcookie-based
authentication to Microsoft Internet Information Services.
The Pubcookie filter specifically implements the application
server component of Pubcookie. It is written in C.
The Pubcookie filter provides the following functionality:
This functionality can be configured server-wide or on a
per-application basis via the filter's registry settings.
The Pubcookie filter is controlled through properties set
in the Windows registry. Authentication is specifically controlled
by setting the AuthType property, which, depending on the
layout of the application on the filesystem and where authentication
is needed, might be applied to an entire website, a folder,
or just a single .asp file.
The Pubcookie filter uses the HTTP_PUBCOOKIE_USER
server variable to make each authenticated user's identity
(usually, a username) available to applications.
Pubcookie provides authentication not authorization: it identifies
who someone is, not what he or she is permitted to do. Therefore,
after authenticating a user, the Pubcookie filter's job is
done, and it's up to individual applications to decide what
to do next. In practice, application developers use ASP or
Global.asa files to implement authorization based on the user
identity presented to them by the Pubcookie filter.
The Pubcookie filter sets the following IIS server variables:
The Pubcookie filter logs startup, terminate, and error messages
in the System event log under the W3SVC source. These messages
reflect the Windows account assigned to handle a request (if
one is assigned) not the remote user identity.

that's REALLY interesting. Thanks rrot!
some diagnostic information:

Good luck sorting it!

we think the Jam of the Week link on the homepage should now just work.
guess it worked for me because I'm a mod.
Anyway, we think this is all fixed now so let us know if it is not.

Maiolica decoration is a very old folk pottery tradition in which earthenware clay was coated with a tin based glaze, which made it white and opaque. Then oxides were brushed on the unfired surface. Today, with the help of zirconium as the opacifier in the glaze, and the broader range of color available in commercial stains, you can really push the limits of this traditional design.
|Maiolica glaze is rather unforgiving, as it doesn't move in the firing. Drips, pinholes and other imperfections that occur during application will not repair themselves during the firing. This makes working on this flat tile project a wise choice for a classroom environment or a person new to this technique. Glaze is easily applied to the tiles and their flat surfaces are easy to paint. As colorants are applied to this raw glaze surface, they are absorbed quickly. This quality can make applying the colorants rather difficult, and some practice and experimentation is necessary. For this reason, I glaze extra tiles to use for mark making practice and for testing absorption and consistency of the colorants. This also can be done on newspaper if no extra tiles are available.
|Creating an Abstract Design for Ceramic Tile
Select a random 2-inch square from any interesting line drawing to create a motif or create your own pattern. Make a 2-inch-square paper window to explore possible abstract patterns (figure 1). After you have decided on the design you want to use, trace it onto a 2-inch square of tracing paper with a soft lead (6B or 8B) pencil (figure 2). Divide a 4-inch square of paper into fourths, creating four 2-inch squares. Use the tracing paper transfer technique (explained below) to trace the motif into each square, rotating or reversing the image as desired (figure 3). Copy the chosen design to visualize the effect when repeated. A copier can be used to reduce, enlarge or reverse designs as needed (figure 4). Once you have chosen a final design pattern, the size and how many tiles you will need, you can begin planning the mural design.
|Tracing Paper Transfer Technique
On the backside of your traced design, draw over the lines a couple of times with a soft lead pencil. Turn the design back over and place it where you want to transfer the design. Retrace the design so the lead from the reverse side will be transferred to the surface. This technique can be used to reverse an image as well.
|Glazing and Applying Colorant to the Tiles
You can order a variety of bisque-fired tiles from your local tile or ceramics supply store or make your own from a low-fire earthenware clay. I like to use commercial tiles for the body of the mural and make my own border and/or accent tiles. For best results, pour the glaze onto the tiles (figure 1). Remember, maiolica glaze does not run during firing so an even glaze surface is desired. Clean excess glaze from the backs of tiles with a sponge. Sides of the tile may remain covered in glaze.
|Lay out the tiles and use the tracing paper transfer technique (link to previous feature) to transfer the design to each tile (figure 2). This way, you can see the design and make any necessary changes needed to correct or improve the pattern. TIP: Pencil marks will burn out during the firing so you can draw directly onto the glaze surface in pencil if you wish. Just be careful to apply light pressure so as not to scar the glaze surface.
|Prepare maiolica colorants, then begin to paint the design on the surface of the glaze (figure 3). Handle tiles carefully to avoid scarring or chipping off the glaze. Practice on an extra tile to test fluidity of the colorant and quality of the brushstroke.
TIP: To fill in a space with even color use a large brush and brush evenly in one direction with a thin coat of colorant. Allow to dry, and then apply a second coat with brushstrokes going in the opposite direction. Another method, which creates interesting results, is to let the brushstrokes be a part of the design.
|Lay out tiles on a large table in the manner in which they will be placed for the mural. Number and letter the tiles with an underglaze pencil or pen to eliminate solving a jigsaw puzzle after firing (figure 4). Fire tiles to Cone 04 on a flat shelf in an electric kiln.
|The maiolica recipe i use is a slight variation of Linda Arbuckle's maiolica glaze. When the design requires leaving a lot of the white glaze showing, I add 2% rutile to soften the whiteness of the glaze for a creamier look. CMC Gum should be measured out, put in hot water and mixed in a blender, then added to the glaze. Sodium hexametaphosphate was the ingredient found in the retired version of Calgon and is a deflocculant.
TIP: Using small plastic cups, add all three dry ingredients, mix thoroughly, add water and mix again. Ice cube trays work well as inexpensive and convenient palettes.
|I use a variety of commercial stains mixed with frit and/or Gerstley borate for my colorants. I find the colors are brighter when mixed with 100% frit, but are less brushable and smudge easily. When mixed 100% with Gerstley borate, brushability improves but the colors are less brilliant. I have used a variety of ratios of frit to Gerstley to colorant with excellent results. For these tiles, I used the this recipe.
Stay tuned for the next feature where Donna shows how to mount the tiles on a board and install the mural. Donna Rozman received her M.F.A. in ceramics from Kansas State University. She is currently working as a studio artist in Crested Butte, Colorado. To see more of her work visit www.donnarozman.com.
I would so like to try this technigue only I don't do pottery, I work with molds into ceramics. Working with wet greenware I can create the pieces I want by adding clay to the piece. Although I work with low
temperture clay, I have been experimenting with all types of high fire glazes and have found I like the results

The Big Event is a day of service with a simple message to the community, "Thank you."
Originated at Texas A&M in 1982, the Big Event has since spread to campuses across the country. It is now one of the largest student-led service projects in the nation. The purpose of the Big Event is to give back to the community, to thank local residents for their support throughout the year.
This year's Big Event will be Saturday, April 20, 2013. Service projects include helping neighbors with yard work and other home projects, as well as helping local community service organizations. This year we will also be doing a blitz build of two sheds for Habitat.
We will provide you with a hearty breakfast at the Tiger Inn that morning at 8 am, then groups will head out to the project sites and be there from 9 am - noon.
Come be a part of this great event! You can sign up as a group or as an individual. E-mail Karin Gollin at firstname.lastname@example.com
Here's a quick look at what got done in 2012:

A Beauty Blitz: While we see nail tech Lisa Wong at many of the major trade shows working at CND's booth, we last saw her in our photo studio creating a lovely French twist look for our June 2008 cover.
While we see nail tech Lisa Wong at many of the major trade shows working at CND's booth, we last saw her in our photo studio creating a lovely French twist look for our June 2008 cover. The Vista, Calif.-based tech has been doing nails for 20 years, 16 of them as an education ambassador for CND. "I've been in this industry for 20 years and I still love working," says Wong. As a mobile nail technician, she spends about 80% of her time servicing clients, often doing private parties.
She travels to the Los Angeles area every two weeks. "I have the privilege of working at Sony Studios (in Culver City, Calif.) on some of the corporate staff," she says, noting that they tend to choose Shellac. "I see about 12 clients a day for up to three days at a time."
The day of our shoot, she was flying to San Francisco for a CND educational event.
Her favorite trip was two years ago when she went to New Zealand to teach CND master classes. "I traveled all across New Zealand for 13 days with our distributor going into salons," says Wong, who also notes she went bungee jumping off a bridge during New Zealand's winter-month of July.
In addition to education, Wong has also done editorial work for Vanity Fair, Women's Health, Flair Canada, and Entertainment LA. But the best part about her job is inspiring other nail professionals.
We hope you'll all be inspired by these awesome knit-textured nails she did for this month's cover.
Here's how you can do these nails:
1. Prep all of the nails. On the four accent nails, apply a thin layer of CND's Retention+ Liquid and Powder with the new CND Additives in Icicles for added texture.
2. Using a small piece of window screen, press it onto the soft product to create texture. Pull it off before the product hardens completely. Lightly clean up the edges with a file.
3. Using CND Vinylux colors, lightly place drops of several different colors on the textured nail before it dries.
4. Use the screen to press the color into the nail. This allows the Vinylux colors to sink into the lines you created in step 2.
6. We recommend doing about three colors each time so you can really layer the colors into the texture.
7. For the remaining six nails, follow your normal Shellac application using Blue Rapture, Tinted Love, and Asphalt on alternating nails. The high-shine of the Shellac nails gives a nice contrast to the knittextured nails.

There's no welcome like it when To Zhai and Muppet come hurtling towards me, after I return home to our bear rescue centre in Chengdu, Sichuan province. These incredibly sociable and outgoing dogs have, thankfully, forgotten that they were both once destined for the dinner table in China.
To Zhai was found trembling in a cage in a market in southern China, as she and other dogs around her were waiting for slaughter. We saw her at the end of an investigation of markets, restaurants, slaughterhouses and dog and cat meat stalls, and rescued her there and then. Muppet was rescued from a truck containing more than 900 caged dogs, in transit from the north of the country to the south, which was intercepted by a brave animal welfare group in Chengdu. The dogs were quickly confiscated when the driver couldn't provide the appropriate licences to the police, who had been called in. Interceptions such as this are now commonplace in China, where activists increasingly understand the law and the licences required, and use their knowledge to call in the authorities, alert the media and have the dogs legally taken into their care.
These dogs are the lucky ones. So many suffer a cruel fate each year – being bludgeoned over the head, having their throats slit, or being plunged, still alive, into boiling water to remove their fur. The trade is steeped in illegality, and our investigations over the past two years have shown that many of the animals used in this trade of consumption are, in fact, stolen pets.
Later this year a report by Animals Asia will show evidence of this, and highlight other aspects of the trade, such as the unhygienic slaughterhouses, preparation methods that would turn the strongest stomach, the tricks of the traders, and the illegal chain of sale. In addition, we have placed advertisements in subways, on high-rise buildings and at bus stops across the country warning the public that the dog and cat meat they may be tempted to eat has come from a stolen family pet, or a diseased animal snatched from the street.
Thankfully, the situation is slowly changing and our work with the authorities on dog management programmes and forums are an important tool in changing current practices and reversing old ideas. Relevant government departments have an important role in China's dog management work: they are responsible for policies and protocols for domestic and stray dogs, and rabies prevention. During the past five years, Animals Asia has conducted annual symposiums, encouraging local governments to develop humane standards.
On a more practical level, we encourage people to share experiences and advice on running a successful animal shelter – and, while there is still a long way to go, we can see a marked improvement in the shelters themselves compared with how they were run even a few years ago.
Some may ask if we have the "right" to object to the consumption of dogs and cats when so many practices in the west are equally egregiously cruel. In truth, we don't believe that dogs and cats deserve kind treatment because they are pets, but rather because they are friends and helpers of humankind. Both species are cherished as "therapists" in hospitals and homes for the young and elderly, in recognition of the psychological and physical benefits they can bring. Papers abound with evidence of animal therapy reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and enhancing the immune system. They point to the fact that many of us owning animals are healthier than those who do not.
We can now relate this evidence to other animals typically farmed for their meat: if dogs and cats can improve our emotional and physical health, then the natural progression is to show the equal sentience and intelligence of farm animals, and lobby for better treatment of these species, too. In short, companion animals can be the springboard in showing how disgracefully we treat so many food animals.
This is why it is so important to continue adding to the momentum we've already created in China, with programmes of animal welfare. Irene Feng, our cat and dog welfare director, remembers wanting to change her career from business to the charity sector in 2005. As she says: "What I like best about my job is that it's not working for money but for something meaningful for animals: helping to free cats and dogs from cruelty. Of course I know that I can't help them all, but the more our team works on this issue, the more the animals will benefit. I learned so much from my own dog, Maomao, and am proud of how much our welfare team has achieved to improve the lives of dogs and cats in China in the past 10 years."

Handy around the house (light electrical, carpentry and plumbing). I have to be, for the apt. building I own.
I like to cook. Philosophy degree and $5 gets you a good Starbucks coffee but I prefer Dunkin' Donuts.
Anything else you may be curious about?
Just ask me. I'd love to write the great American novel someday soon. Eclectic interests, such as eastern philosophy,chess, shamanism, Jungian psychology, history of private lives, Early Rome, Spirituality, astrology and more. PS early retirement so am hopefully making the best use of time. Tai Chi is very very good for me. :) PPS I cannot see "likes"...just message me instead if interested. Never mind most don't read this far or wish to remain anonymous and will "like" me anyways.
I am in a somewhat enviable position. I live off passive income and have taken early retirement, so no need to work 9-5. Free unlimited flight miles means the world is my oyster. I'm looking for that pearl. I am not tied to the area and can relocate and plan to do so, but not now as no wish to make a sideways move. :) Always nice to see new places and meet kindred souls. I have a website that is 'new age' in astrology. I am an ordained minister online so I can perform wedding ceremonies for family and friends. I am writing a book .
Favorite music includes Black Keys, early Beatles, Cream, Diana Krall, Fat Boy Slim, Benny Goodman,Gershwin, 50's Motown, Tears for Fears, Peter Gabriel, INXS, Sade and others. Not so much into rap or free form jazz. Love da blues and some country music is funny. Music, movies, shows, food and books do not determine compatibility. :)
Favorite foods include Chinese done wok style, with plenty of veggies. Also Thai, but I'm not one for tofu.
I like the old Classic "Death takes a Holiday", B & W. It was remade as "Meet Joe Black" with Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. Another favorite is "Heaven can Wait", the 1943 version. The gentleman who played the angel in the later version (with Warren Beatty, not Chris Rock) was the main character in the 1943 version, namely James Mason, one of my favorites.
I'm sure there's more along the lines of shows, venues, etc. but nothing comes to mind right now. But who can forget "It's a Wonderful Life"? Well our tastes and favorites can give us an insight into one another, but certainly do not define us., nor are keys to a good relationship.
An idle mind is the devil's workshop, so they say. :)
Driveway is where you park, but parkway is where you drive?
Why do some you write to on here, never respond? :) not even to say 'not interested'. But they keep looking at your profile?

Baker High School needs $4M in repairs
BATON ROUGE - Baker High School needs more than $4 million in repairs and upgrades. That's according to a new report by Baton Rouge engineering consulting firm Volkert Inc.
The Baker School Board agreed in August to pay the company $10,000 to assess facilities at the 62-year-old school and determine what improvements were necessary.
The board received the report from the firm Tuesday but postponed discussions until the next board meeting.
The assessment characterized the high school facilities as "fair to poor" and added that "deficiencies were noted in all buildings."
Drainage, roof leaks, moisture infiltration, damaged or nonfunctioning restrooms, nonfunctioning equipment, Americans with Disabilities Act noncompliance issues, inadequate fire alarm systems and limited security systems were among the problems cited in the report.

Another Miami Kid Forced to Hold a Sign on a Street Corner Because School Problems
Apparently public shaming is the hottest parenting trend hitting Florida. Yet again angry parents have forced their kid to stand by a roadway holding a sign after problems at school. The latest kid to get the nontraditional punishment is Tarvon Young, a fifth grade student at the Richard Allen Leadership Academy in Miami Gardens, who was suspended from school for four days after planning to bully another student.
Tarvon's mother Tarra Dean was none to pleased with her child's suspension, so, according to WSVN, she decided that he should stand outside his school 90 minutes a day holding a sign that reads, "I was sent to school to get an education. Not to be a bully... I was not raised this way!"
Of course Dean, a corrections officers, is with her son through out and is making sure he stays hydrated.
It's the second time in less than a month that punishment has been used in Miami-Dade. Back in March, a seventh grader was forced to stand outside holding a sign after he received three Fs on his report card.
