Joey Ramone - Swamp Water Tee
This variant is currently sold out
Only an Aussie could concoct a cocktail of green chartreuse, orange juice, and ice, delicately name it Swamp Water, serve it in a glass jar in bars and then proudly make a T-shirt to celebrate it.
And only a man with the rock stature of Joey Ramone could advertise it with such style. Joey appears here after a gig in Florida wearing this Swamp Water tshirt, more than likely thrown at him by a sweaty fun loving gal from *Brissy, showing his appreciation of fine liquor and the subtle antipodean ways of his fans down under.
The Ramones created the blueprint for American punk in the 1970s. And Joey Ramone was the perfect visual centerpiece for the band.
This Worn Free Tee is custom made from super soft washed cotton. So comfy it will be an instant favorite in your T-Shirt rotation. Worn Free reproduces classic vintage style 'fully licensed' tees, in this case as worn by Joey Ramone.
Each tee comes with a special backstage pass style hang tag picture of Joey wearing this Swamp Water tee shirt.

Faith in History
The Scandal of the Evangelical Experts?
Evangelicals have a knack for subculture. Christian music, Christian books, and Christian movies all enjoy a thriving business. Evangelicals have their own experts, too, popular authorities who champion causes from creationism to Christian childrearing to a uniquely spiritual founding of the United States.
Randall Stephens and Karl Giberson, authors of The Anointed: Evangelical Truth in a Secular Age, recently confronted the evangelical experts in a New York Times editorial titled "The Evangelical Rejection of Reason." This column, a blunt condensation of the argument in their book, portrayed Christian authorities such as history writer David Barton and creationist Ken Ham as culpable for Christian anti-intellectualism.
Stephens and Giberson, Christian academics themselves, are revisiting the argument of renowned historian Mark Noll that the evangelical mind is scandalous. They deplore the way that many evangelicals and their anointed experts eschew not only mainstream science or history, but even the conclusions of many Christian academics. If Christians were open to these influences, according to the authors, their faith would grow richer and more complex, and would become less centered on the polarized positions demanded by the evangelical experts and their versions of the culture war. Stephens and Giberson take the discussion a step further by explaining how the subculture's authorities encourage evangelicals (or more commonly, "fundamentalists") to cultivate their anti-intellectual tendencies.
Stephens and Giberson's New York Times piece generated indignation in the conservative blogosphere, revealing the perils of their approach. I suspect that nearly all evangelicals in academia, and many rank-and-file Christians, would sympathize with at least some of Stephens and Giberson's concerns. (For full disclosure, note that I am a friend of Randall Stephens, and I am credited in The Anointed for helping with their chapter on evangelical history). But I am concerned that Stephens and Giberson's tone seems so hostile toward their adversaries, and toward "fundamentalists" generally, that they will reach few beyond the already convinced.
The editorial's list of topics on which evangelicals have supposedly "rejected reason" is long and eclectic: evolution, homosexuality, religion and the Founding, and spanking children. On all these topics, evangelicals have not accepted the dominant academic position on the subject, and thus, the New York Times piece implies, have rejected reason. Surely many evangelicals would be open to a reasoned discussion on some or all of these topics, but they would need to feel that Stephens and Giberson appreciate that conservative Christians have logical justifications for believing what they do. Aren't there serious reasons to believe in a literal reading of the "six days" of Genesis 1, or the historic teachings of most major religions on human sexuality, or even that the Bible's mandates to spank your children (Proverbs 13:24 etc.) remain in effect?

First the 'look what we're sneaking past the censors' ice cream scene was a total :yawn" and now it's egg smearing? Just crush him with a slab of groceries, toss him and his goon into the river and be done with it. The ending last night bothered me. Alicia's thrilled that Peter's not sleeping with his campaign workers after telling him that she doesn't care? The 'kiss' was snooze worthy. Talk about zero chemistry. We need Jackie back to get this show rolling again.

Fiji showed plenty of passion when kicking off their Rugby League World Cup campaign with a 32-14 win over Ireland, but coach Rick Stone wants more polish when they face the Kangaroos.
Newcastle Knights winger Akuila Uate scored three of Fiji's six tries and had another disallowed in Rochdale on Monday night, two years after journeying to England as part of Australia's Four Nations squad.
Kevin Naiqama and brothers Tariq and Korbin Sims also grabbed four-pointers for Fiji in the rout of Ireland, who scored two tries in the last three minutes when the result was already beyond doubt.
The Bati, surprise semi-finalists at the 2008 World Cup, are on course for the quarter-finals given the top three from Group A - which also includes the Kangaroos and England - advance.
Fiji next face Tim Sheens' Australian team on Saturday night (7am AEDT Sunday), pitting their skipper Petero Civoniceva against his former Kangaroos teammates.
Stone, assistant coach of NRL club Newcastle, wants a more clinical performance against the tournament favourites in St Helens.
"The important thing tonight was to get a win," Stone said.
"It was probably pretty ugly at times but the intent was great.
"At times we defended a little bit spasmodically and with too much emotion.
"There was plenty of emotion in the game from our boys and that's something we've got to control in the future if we're going to be competitive against the better sides."
Sheens was among the sellout crowd of 8800 at Spotland Stadium as Civoniceva spearheaded some bone-rattling defence for Fiji, starting his rugby league swansong with a team-high 27 tackles.
"We've got to be a bit smarter with it but overall I'm very pleased with the efforts from the boys," Civoniceva said.
The tournament is the final chapter of the 37-year-old prop's storied league career that featured 45 Tests for Australia, 33 State of Origins for Queensland and 309 NRL games for Brisbane and Penrith.
Uate opened and closed Fiji's scoring.
He dragged two Irishmen over the line with him in the ninth minute, took another setup pass from fullback Kevin Naiqama for his second in the 64th, and bulldozed through four Irishmen for his third in the 73rd.
Ireland could be without fullback Scott Grix for their clash with England after he was helped off the park on Monday.
"He'll go for a scan tomorrow," Ireland coach Mark Aston said.
"It's a short turnaround but we'll patch them up and go again. We're in the hardest group but we'll look forward to it."

The tale of a man who unwittingly angers a sorcerer, who is assumed by some Monty scholars to be based on the self-styled 'Great Beast,' occultist Aleister Crowley.
Montague Rhodes James was a noted British mediaeval scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918) and of Eton College (1918–1936). He is best remembered for his ghost stories which are widely regarded as among the finest in English literature.
One of James' most important achievements was to redefine the ghost story for the new century by dispensing with many of the formal Gothic trappings of his predecessors, and replacing them with more realistic contemporary settings.
"Montague Rhodes James has an intelligent and scientific knowledge of human nerves and feelings; and knows just how to apportion statement, imagery, and subtle suggestions in order to secure the best results with his readers," HP Lovecraft.
Actor David Suchet is best known for his definitive portrayal of Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective created by the legendary mystery author Agatha Christie, in a number of international television productions. He narrates his story in Poirot and Me.

"Supernatural fun"
Short, not graphic, mildly creepy, great narrator. For fans of English Goths or Victorian atmosphere. Fun! Made cleaning kitchen cabinets entertaining, and you can't beat that!
just one more book lover
"Suchet does M.R. James so well"
I think i have five different versions of M.R. James stories, each with a different read. I love Derek Jacobi. But David Suchet really nailed this and the other James stories on Audible. I heard things in the stories i had not heard before.
This story was the basis of the excellent B horror flick from the 1950s, Curse of the Demon (Night of the Demon) with Dana Andrews. Really suspenseful film with decent effects for the time. Love the short story more. Has an academic air. I guess James was an Oxford (?) don. Comes thru. But he is a master of psychological horror. Can see how he might have influenced Lovecraft.
"Classic spook tale"
Classic ghost story
Ok, no great suprises or "ah" moments. A natural ending to a very typical 19th C (18th?) ghost story.
A very good reading in appropriate classic style
Interesting and different listen. Made a pleasant change to listen to a short. Nice appetizer but dont think i could manage a whole meal.
"Excellent Supernatural Tale"
Having seen the movie, "Night of te Demon" several times, I decided that I should read or listen to the original story. The tale is really good in both versions and in the audio book, wonderfully read by David Suchet. Great all round product which I recommend whole heartedly.
"Winter afternoons by the fireside listening"
Nothing better than a mug of hot chocolate, dark afternoons and evenings sitting in front of cosy fire listening to a chilling tale. This is a particular favourite online.
"Classic spooky story, great reading."
The BBC used to do one of these stories every Christmas and though I was able to get them on DVD, they were rather dated productions. The stories themselves seem less dated and this particular reading is just right. David Suchet is somehow classic without being dated or mannered. Sit your family down and play them this one dark winter night.
"An encounter with evil"
Yet another brilliant tale from M R James and told with perfection by David Suchet. This is about an encounter with an evil man hell bent on revenge. It is also fascinating to hear that the character is based on one of M R James's contemporaries. This must have ruffled a few feathers in its day!

DALE McFEATTERS: Living large on no dollars a day
"If only a palace will do," the real-estate come-on went, "this is your house."
Lamont Butler, according to news reports, decided that a palace would do quite nicely and moved in.
And a palace it was. One of the largest homes in the Washington, D.C., area, the 35,000-square-foot house had imported-marble floors, 12 bedroom suites, six kitchens, a three-story entryway and sweeping views.
The mansion belonged, and still does, to cosmetics millionaire Rashid Chaudary. It was a great place for entertaining, and Chaudary reportedly entertained both Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
(Perhaps some day there will be plaques all over Washington in honor of our gregarious and sociable 42nd president saying, "Bill Clinton was entertained here," much like the markets that boast, "George Washington slept here.")
Inevitably, the Chau-dary children grew up and moved away (although the house is so big, how could they tell?). And since 35,000 square feet is a lot of empty nest, Chaudary and his wife moved back to Chicago, where his business is headquartered.
The house went on the market where, one can safely speculate, it might have lasted only a few days if Mitt Romney had won and brought his wealthy backers to town, people of means who weren't going to live in any old mansion — certainly not one without an elevator in the garage.
The mansion sat empty until Butler discovered it — the one problem, which he didn't find insurmountable, being that he didn't own it.
Butler, described by The Washington Post as "a personable 28-year-old," claims to be something called a "Moorish American national," whose theology apparently allows members of this group to lay claim to any parts of America that take their fancy, which run heavily to lavish — but unoccupied — mansions.
Armed with citations from a 1787 peace treaty, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, a historic map and other documents, Butler showed up at the county clerk's office, using his "Moorish" name, Lamont Maurice El, and demanded that the house, which he planned to use as an embassy, be put in his name.
With that unfortunate mulish intransigence that bureaucrats can show, the county clerk said: No deed, no house.
Chaudary apparently was unaware of any of this — until the county police chased Butler off and kept him out of the property on subsequent sweeps.
Washington has a small cadre of charlatans claiming to be high-level emissaries from plausible-sounding-but-wholly-fictitious countries, claiming diplomatic immunity, special parking privileges and, inevitably, freedom from U.S. taxation.
It doesn't work here, but in other parts of the country these bogus nationalities try to intimidate local officials by swamping them with liens and lawsuits that are inevitably thrown out of court, but not after the hapless public official has had to waste time and money defending himself.
Butler was bagged last summer by a suburban police officer for going 68 mph in a 55-mph zone in a car with Moorish license plates of his own design. According to the Post, he sued the state attorney general, two judges, three police officers, the owner of a towing company and all of their spouses for $1.05 million to be paid in gold coins.
This is not unique to Washington. The Internet lists numerous cases of con artists with straight faces, glib lines of patter and briefcases full of phony documents who occupy vacant mansions until the courts get around to throwing them out.
There's even a name for them — "high-end squatters."
We're all honest people here. But in a way, don't you have a sneaky envy for their chutzpah?
It's a beautiful mansion, nobody's using it, what would be the harm, and surely San Remo, Andorra, Trans-Dniester wouldn't mind a little volunteer representation ...

"Garage Mahal" Overhauls our Garage: Time-lapse
After two years of disarray, we finally get the garage we always wanted, with a lot of help.
Two hectic minutes of time lapse can't begin to show everything DIY Network did to transform our three-car junk drawer into a Garage Mahal. Be sure to tune in to DIY Network on Friday, June 18, at 9:30 p.m. to catch all the gory details of this overhaul—and to watch show host Bill Goldberg scold and intimidate the C/D staff!

It is difficult to imagine a day going by in the United States of America without a single example of someone who was caught by police authorities, was handcuffed, and then shot to death by the arresting officer because the alleged criminal refused to cooperate with police authorities. Robert Cameron Redux was a student at the University of Incarnate and somehow became involved in a dispute with a campus police officer. Words undoubtably were exchanged, each person became angry, Cpl. Christopher Carter repeatedly told Cameron to cooperate and he refused. After several minutes, Carter shouted at the alleged criminal, "stop or I'll shoot" and shoot he did. A man who was handcuffed was shot six times to make certain he would obey demands by a policeman.
Yes, being a police officer can be a dangerous job. Yes, those who one arrests must obey the policeman. Yes, a policeman can employ force. BUT, SIX times bullets are aimed at the body of an unarmed person? Give me a break. How about a shot to the leg?

you mean asking nicely doesnt always work?
I dont blame you
This is a discussion on Drunks, Trespassers, and a shopping mall within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I just accepted a job as an un-armed security guard for Guardsmark, and while the job is good, I had to work a post today ...
I just accepted a job as an un-armed security guard for Guardsmark, and while the job is good, I had to work a post today where I felt like I was about to faint from anxiety and nervousness. I had to work in a shopping mall that constantly has trespassers and drunks on the property, harassing patrons and mall employees. The police have to be called just about everyday. A couple years ago I had a personal experience with an intoxicated man that has left me mentally scarred, and more or less drove me to get my CCW permit. I do plan to inform my boss that I will not work at that location ever again as an un-armed guard. I honestly don't want to get attacked again by a 6 foot tall 230 lb drunk man again, and not have a means to defend myself. Maybe if there were one or two drunk people on the property, I might be able to handle it, but 5 or 6 is just too much, and dealing with nasty trespassers isn't pleasant either. I can't even carry a stun gun, pepper spray, or even a pocket knife.

That would be a "one day" job for me - that is if I lived that long. I think I would do a little more research with regards to the job description next time.

Fortunately, I was only scheduled to work there today, and no other day. I understood it was an un-armed position, and I accepted the employment terms. My permanent post will be elsewhere, so I won't have to deal with the public. I'm just going to let my boss know about it, so he does not request that I work there again.

"Naked and Starving as They are We Cannot Enough Admire the Incomparable Patience and Fidelity of the Soldiery" George Washington, Valley Forge, 1777.
An unarmed security guard's duty is nothing more than "eyes and ears". If your company is putting you in harm's way, they have established a hostile work environment. Of course, as soon as you bring this up, you'll be fired.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
I dont mean to sound like a jerk, but it doesnt seem like this is the job for you. Carrying is the least used skill/tool in that business.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I will talk to my boss tomorrow, and leave it up to him if he wants to terminate me or not. If that becomes the case, then I will have to accept that, and move onto something else. My permanent post will be FedEx, and I'll be working at the local newspaper on Sundays, both locations don't really have drunks and trespassers. Dealing with them occasionally is fine by me, but every single day is a bit much IMO.

Some jobs just aren't worth whatever they're paying you. I have to agree with Sixto, it sure doesn't sound like you're cut out for this line of work bro!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
Sounds like a no win situation. The people who contracted with your company know the situation and are hoping for a miracle cure. If your boss puts you in a similar situation again, it's time for a new boss.
BTW- Do they say "freeze!" up there?
Like Sixto said, it doesn't sound like security/LE work is a good fit for you. There is no shame in that, its just not a line of work for everyone.
My self personally, I would never engage in unarmed security work. Frankly, I don't even have a tast for any security work. I have just seen to many situations where you might as well wear a target on your back.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
First of all you need to understand that as an unarmed security guard your job is to "deter" not to intervene, if they want a bouncer then they should hire one, dont get me wrong a job is a job, I worked security in the past and am considering it again, (sad to say because it is way safer than my current job as a night shift manager at a c-store) remember your job description, and also remember that if you dont get specific post instructions your company is going to hang you out if anything goes bad, If you get involved in a physical confrontation state law may support you depending on what state you live in vs civil liability, but you better check that out...... in the mean time duck and cover, if something happens at that post you log it on your note pad and report it to the police, nothing more nothing less, UNLESS YOU HAVE SPECIFIC WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AUTHORIZING YOU TO USE FORCE you are just another civilian in a boyscout uniform. (again some states protect their security guards some dont) In Texas you get an upgraded charge for assualting a security guard if he is liscenced, that means an extra 5 months in jail if you are too stupid to hire a good attorney.
I sure would'nt say you should'nt do this job entirely, but I don't feel you are cut out for the mall job. You're too aware of what might happen. Too much stress. I'm betting if you refuse to do the mall job all together, they may find someone to replace you. Be interesting to find out what they say. Good luck.
Remember, you always have the option to personally sue for damages if someone injures you on the job.Some of those drunks and trespassers have deep insurance pockets. You need to press charges as needed to set up for a civil suit. Think of it as a game.

Physical evidence
(such as a suspicious package containing powder)
1. Determine if there is a logical explanation for the "physical evidence" (e.g. suspicious package or powder). Some examples may include:
If you receive a suspicious package, try to identify who sent it and call them to ask about it.
If you find suspicious powder, try to determine if the powder came from a logical source (e.g. powdered soap dispenser, spilled baking soda box, construction debris, etc.).
2. If you determine that the "physical evidence" came from a logical source and it is not suspicious, it is unlikely that anthrax is present.
If you cannot find a logical explanation for the "physical evidence:"

Emergency Action Plan
Epidemiological or medical observations
(such as individual cases of anthrax)
1. If one or more employees are exhibiting symptoms of anthrax:
Encourage them to see a health care professional to evaluate the cause of the symptoms.
Many of the anthrax symptoms are similar to common illnesses, such as the flu, and can cause unnecessary distress in the workplace.
2. If no confirmed cases of anthrax are discovered, it is unlikely that a credible threat of anthrax exposure exists at your worksite.
If a confirmed case of anthrax is discovered at your worksite:
Notify your local health department. Call 9-1-1 if you are unsure who to contact.
Follow the directions of the health department and help them determine if your workplace may have been the source of the exposure.
(such as a phone call or letter stating that anthrax has been used)
1. Call 9-1-1 and report the threat. An anthrax threat is a criminal act, regardless if the threat is credible or not.
2. Notify your employees of the threat. Inform them to be cautious of suspicious mail/packages and to report any potential anthrax found in the workplace.
3. If physical evidence is discovered, initiate your

wow i got the item within 5 days, pretty fast considering its from china. so here it is.
it was fairly packed and all, i mentioned its painted to whatever color you want, but i dont think its factory color codes, because my black is just plain black, anyways couldnt wait to install it and immediately ran into issues.
i found a crack maybe from shipping or from factory at the third brake light area, upper right if your looking at it. maybe an inch length.
the third brake light didnt want to fit in as its supposed to so i had to trim a little bit of the spoiler material itself, and also the brake light. its maybe 1mm total and it worked( lighter area)
also when i was installing everything back the rear washer rubber hose appeared to be too short, i was almost gonna go out and buy some( it only needed to be extended about 2 inches until i noticed that there is enough slack from the body to hatch( when you open the hatch and look at the washer line in between so that did the trick and voila everythings in
all in all from this experience you do get what you pay for. it was $200 shipped and painted. the material is somewhat more brittle and not as maleable and tuff as the factory as i was literally enlarging the third brake light mounting holes a little bit to ease screwing the hardware on, i heard a bit of cracking. fit is not bad either except the sides have about 1/8"-1/4" of unnoticeable gap compared to factory fit. you only notice it when you really look close.
so after all this im sort of dissapointed but at the same time i can live with it considering its basically half of what youll end up paying when goind oem plus paint. paint is just plain black and by the looks of it just one coat. im not sure about the 3D carbon one as i havent seen any up close pictures or anyone here rocking them. by the way the spoiler is very light, lighter than the stock, i know i mentioned the lowe quality material but hey it works. hope this helps anyone thinking about getting this. i jsut finished installing this and its already dark out so ill take a picture or the whole back tomorrow when its sunny. thanks!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/7/2005 (4372 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With a class of generous students as our tour guides, the Free Press embarks on an academic journey that will take us from kindergarten all the way up to Grade 12 grad in 2017
PLEASE clean up your workspace, go get your snack, and then come and sit down in the listening position -- "criss-cross, apple sauce (arms and legs crossed)."
We have some special visitors in the Winnipeg Free Press today.
Welcome the Class of 2005.
The graduates you're about to meet have graciously agreed to share insights and wisdom from their educational careers.
That's going to take approximately 12 years, so please make sure to visit the washroom.
What follows is Page One in the yearbook of a single classroom of students at Windsor School -- and the first in an ongoing series of articles that we offer as your passport to a unique journey through the hallowed halls of learning.
Our journey begins in Ms Gietz's kindergarten classroom.
It will conclude on the stage of a high school gymnasium, when the Class of 2005 reaches the milestone of maturity that will launch them out into the world as the official Class of 2017.
Along the way, we'll drop in on our subjects -- currently ages five to 6 1/2 -- to see how their view of life changes as pigtails, toothless grins and licence to colour outside the lines give way to timetables, tests and gender dynamics.
Will Paige still want to be a "dog doctor" at the end of Grade 1?
Will Devon still hate books?
Did Gabriel really quit school in Grade 4 to avoid the needles?
Will Quinn still think the mayor is the most important person in Winnipeg when he's in junior high?
If we gather these classmates for a group photo in a few years, will they pose in the same gender-neutral group hug, or will there be an arm's length between boys and girls?
How long will it take before they stop raising their hands to vote on who likes apples and who doesn't, or to offer an unsolicited opinion or observation on life in general. Or to simply ask "Why?"
Now here's the big question:
Was American author/essayist Robert Fulghum right when he famously concluded that we can learn all we really need to know about "how to live and what to do and how to be" in kindergarten?
Take it from a reporter who had to go to Ms Gietz's class to learn the simple joy of sharpening your pencil on both ends, you can learn a lot -- namely that it's OK to admit that going somewhere you've never been before can be scary.
Grade 1, for example.
Chief correspondent for the Class of 2005 is looking like a dream assignment.
Sources have actually insisted they be interviewed, and there's not a single spin doctor in the bunch.
None of that "off the record" business, no jargon and no doublespeak -- just the occasional honest, and refreshingly rare, response of "I don't know."
And if the interview is suddenly cut short, well, it's nothing personal, Reporter Lady, but life is calling.
Of course, all of that may change...
See you in Grade 1.

This is part of a series of original mini acrylic paintings featuring butterflies/moths and a blue, pink and purple colour palette. Each one is painted onto canvas board that is 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8"). They would look lovely framed in small box frames like the one in the photograph either individually or as a group.
Recently I have been drawn to paint butterflies. To me they bring lightness and joy to everyday life, reminding one not to take life too seriously. They embrace growth and change with such grace whilst dancing and fluttering around us.
The canvas is signed on the back and has a protective barrier applied to it to help protect it from UV rays and humidity. As an alternative to framing this little painting could be propped on a shelf as part of a display.
nb: All my paintings are described and photographed as accurately as possible, but please bear in mind that I have no control over the variation in computer monitor hues. Please also note that any room set images may not to scale and are to be used as a guide only. Referring to the actual measurements noted in the description is the best way to check that the painting you are interested in fulfils your size requirements.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you for looking.

Painting over High Gloss - Ran into some issues..
Hi Everyone,
My house is stucco and wood -- not sure what kind of wood, but I know that it's painted with a high gloss oil based paint. The stucco was painted similarly.
I was ignorant and didn't do any research prior to painting, so everything is a bit screwed up :(
I went to Home Depot and picked up "2 in 1 primer and paint" and just went at it (after spraying the dirt off the house and letting it dry). Everything looked fine, until the next morning. I noticed some of the paint was cracking and ran my fingernail over it -- the paint just fell off! This was after 6 hours in the sun and leaving it overnight. (It's a week later now and the paint is still peeling..)
Obviously I screwed up pretty badly. Half my house is poorly painted over on top of high gloss paint. One of my neighbors has had paint on his house for the past eight years and still looks brand new (so I trust him) -- he said I could just slap on 2-3 coats of primer on top of everything and that will alleviate the issues. I'm worried that even with 2-3 coats of primer, the paint will peel anyway.
In an ideal world I would just scrape off all of the paint, degloss/sand and start over, but I don't have that much time to spend unfortunately. I'm wondering what everyone thinks about putting 2-3 coats of primer? Will it stick enough to the walls?
2-3 coats over gloss oil won't stick any better then your failed coat.
Do it the right way and sand or strip it down to a good substrate, prime with the correct primer and then topcoat. (old substrate, primer and topcoat all have to be compatable)
I would shop at a real paint store where they can give you professional products and advice vs. Home Crapo.
That is some of the worse advise I have ever heard:yes:
If you want the job done properly then that is just what you need to do with one(1) coat of slow dry oil primer and two coats of 100% acrylic latex on top with gloss of satin on the stucco and maybe semi gloss on the trim. There is no reason for a full gloss anywhere.:no:
If you used a latex primer over an oil-based paint ... they aren't compatible. An oil-based primer over oil-based paint can then be painted with latex if that's your end goal.
Have to agree with henny though ... best finish would come after stripping the old paint off completely.
Thanks, looks like I'll be stripping paint this weekend, whether or not I like it :)
I figure an extra weekend won't kill me, as long as it saves me time in the long run, and since I'm here I want to do a good job on it.
Anyone have tips on removing this layer of paint? Will any ordinary paint thinner work? It comes off fairly easily, but I just don't want to scrape it all by hand if I don't have to.. (obviously even with paint thinner I will have to scrape off anything remaining)
If stripping paint you basically have three choices, strip it mechanically using a paint shaver, you may be able to rent one, other wise they cost about $700, use a chemical stripper such as peel away, or use heat, All of these methods have positive and negative sides, personally I would scrape all of the loose paint off, sand every board with an orbit sander with 40 grit paper and feather sand all of the spots where loose paint came off,this would be the fastest method, even if you used a paint shaver you would still have to orbit sand after words and if you chemically stripped your still going to be scraping and sanding to some degree and using heat is very time consuming and still involves scraping and sanding to a degree.
Paint thinner will NOT work:no:
T60 looks like you really have your work cut out for you. If it were me I would be looking for a less labor intensive way to remove the paint but don't think there is. There is only one thing I might add and maybe the paint expect here could comfirm or not if it should be done, after he strips the paint should he caulk or try to seal any cracks where moisture can get in ?
Yes, you should caulk around window and door trim, all corners and any place siding meets trim, including soffit and fascia as needed, but I would not caulk until after all of the prep work is done and after the substrate is primed, the primer will give the caulk something to adhere to better.

Solar is at a tipping point and poised for massive growth. We are about to witness the true economically-driven birth of a global solar industry. Unfortunately the negativity surrounding the industry has masked this epic change in which the very cost reductions that are causing angst are also the positive driving force for an industry that is emerging from its early stages. As we enter the Brave New world of what I refer to as Solar 2.0, the U.S. has real competitive advantages and can, must and will succeed.
Brad Mattson is currently CEO of Solexant, a next-generation solar startup. Mattson is a renowned entrepreneur from the semiconductor industry. Starting at Applied Materials, he later founded and scaled both Novellus and Mattson Technology, to date the only founder of two publicly traded semiconductor equipment firms. Most recently, Mr. Mattson was a Partner at Vantage Point Venture Partners working in the Cleantech area, leading the solar sector, but also focusing on lighting, transport and scaling.

Reuben Karp, a member of the Tiuli Website Community, contributed to this itinerary.
There are several possible routes to hike the Yagur Stream:
An important note:on rainy days and right afterward entrance to the Yagur Stream is prohibited for fear of flash-floods and slipping.
The text below is based on Circular Trail No. 1.
From the car-park which is adjacent to the horse ranch [1 on the map] start following the red markings. In a few meters you'll exit through a gate that encircles the Kibbutz and come to the meeting place of two trails. The green-marked trail turns right toward Nesher, but you should turn left, southward, on a red-marked trail. After walking an additional 300 m [980 ft] you will come to another trail junction [2]: the blue-marked trail ascends with the NahashStream; however should stick to the red-marked trail. This trail bypasses Yagur and allows hikers access to the area without entering the Kibbutz. Exactly at this stage the trail climbs between the Yagur and Ma'apilim Streams for a short distance up to the slopes of the mountain range. By now the spectacular view will unfold before you: right below you are – Kibbutz Yagur and the Kishon River, behind them, the hills of Alonim and Shfar'am with their carpet of Tabor oak forest. On the horizon try to locate the tracks of the old Jezreel Valley Railway that passes parallel to Route 70 and west of it. The Yagur Train Station still exists somewhere hidden in the thicket of the forest. The range of colors here is amazing: during winter the first anemones of the Carmel start to blossom in shades of purplish-blue; during the springtime,.March-April, the hyacinth squill blooms with its bold, tall stalks that resemble the sea squill with its many small flowers, but unlike the sea squill they are sky-blue. Other species of flowers that you will probably come across are barberry nuts, cyclamens, sage-leaved rockroses, Cretan rock-roses, three lobed sages, yellow asphodels and more.
Descend carefully from the head of the hill to the opening of the Yagur Stream and to a trail junction, with a big tree and a bench [3]: a red-marked trail climbs up in the Yagur Stream (this is the trail with which you will return from Isfiya to Yagur), while a blue-marked trail (the Se'orah Trail) ascends southeastwardly in the bed of the Yagur Stream; however, continue along the blue-marked trail until Kibbutz Yagur is below you. After another 400 m [1,300 ft] you will come to another trail junction [4]. From here the black-marked trail (the Druze Trail) climbs sharply southwardly to the Ein al-Balad Spring in Isfiya; continue an additional 200 m [650 ft] with the blue-marked trail until you come to another trail split from which the green-marked Ya'aran Trail [the forester trail] starts, this trail also climbs to the head of the Yagur Stream. Stick to the blue-marked trail (the Seorah Trail) and climb southeastwardly toward the HaAmakim Junction and the Jalame. Very soon the blue-marked trail changes into a red-marked one and heads south, climbing toward the Shark Ruins which is located on the southeastern outskirts of Isfiya. This is a very moderate foresters trail that every now and then crosses steep ravines and occasionally enables a glimpse of the beautiful views of the Galilee Mountains, and the Zvulun and Jezreel Valleys.
After walking 3 km [1.8 miles] southward, you'll come to a trail junction [5]. The red-marked trail on which you hiked continues southward to the Husifa Stream and the Bama Fort; however, just continue weston the blue-marked trail. After 300 m [980 ft] you'll cross the Nof Carmel road (green-marked) and continue with the blue-marked trail to the southeastern neighborhood of Isfiya.
At the point where the blue-marked trail ends – at Isfiya – it reaches a road [6]. Follow this road northward for another 500 m [1,640 ft] until you locate a red-marked trail that goes down to the Yagur Stream. There is a minimarket at the roundabout of the eastern neighborhood in Isfiya where you will find some very nice people– this is an excellent place to stop for an ice-cream and relax after the long climb.
Slightly north and below this road is the fountainhead from where the Al-Balad emanates [7]. Ein al Balad means "the spring of the village". Ever since the Roman times (when this site was a Jewish settlement) and to thepresent day its water has been used by the local residents. The pools are used for storing the spring water for irrigation of livestock and for agriculture. Unfortunately, a lot of garbage has been dumped at the site, but the pools also host salamander tadpoles, a protected species!
The Ein al Balad's water is drinkable and flows into the pool via a stone pipe. In order to increase the spring's capacity, in ancient times, a tunnel was built along the subterranean layer that lies beneath the water. At a distance of a few dozen steps from the spring you'll find a round opening, through which one can access the tunnel.
To begin your descent walk to the northwest along the comfortable gradient of a red-marked tractor road that comes to the upper ravine of the Yagur Stream. The bed of the stream here is wider and its slopes are more moderate since it was dug through mild chalkstone. At a distance of about 800 m [2,600 ft] from the roundabout, the view of plantations and orchard on your left will change when you cross the Nof Carmel Road again and then it becomes a canyon-typeview [8].
The Yagur Stream is known for its beauty and it is the most famous among the northwestern craggyt streams of the Carmel. There are two main factors which have contributed to its formation: first, a geological fault line which incipiently resulted in the rise of the Carmel above the valley and the precipitous slope; second, the undermining of the dolomite river rock, which is very hard and cracked. Both created a high degree of inclination that falls 400 meters in an area of 2 kilometers. The Mediterranean forest on both sides of the ravine is extremely developed and consists of kermes oaks, terebinth trees, laurestines, sweet bay, broad-leaved phillyreas, Judas trees, styrax officinalises, eastern strawberry trees, Aleppo pines, carobs and many more. Most of the year the bed of the river is shaded, hence almost nothing can grow here except cyclamens; and yet you can still find rare plants of which the most beautiful one is the Madonna lily that blossoms during May as well as a special type of big fern (15 – 35 cm) with double feather-like ramified leaves that emerges from amongst the rocks. Its name is asplenium onopleris, or black asplenium, and it is named after the dark and shiny shade of its pedicel.
The descent of the stream is extremely delightful, due to the continuous shade. At the beginning of the canyon-like segment of the Yagur stream you'll come upon the remains of three cars that were washed here by winter floods. Along the trails you'll pass through dozens of miniature falls or waterfalls but none higher than 5 meters [16 feet]. However, toward the end you'll come across three bigger ones with handles installed for facilitating the descent/ascent.
At the end of this trail you'll reach the same stream-opening that you encountered at the beginning of the trail [3]. From here return via the same route with which you arrived.

James Murdoch faces second grilling in Parliament
FILE – A Sunday July 10, 2011 photo from files showing Chief executive of News Corporation Europe and Asia, James Murdoch gesturing as he leaves his father Chairman of News Corporation Rupert Murdoch's residence, in central London. James Murdoch will be recalled for a second grilling before Britain's Parliament, a senior lawmaker investigating the tabloid phone hacking scandal said Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2011. The announcement from John Whittingdale, the chairman of Parliament's media committee, comes after former Murdoch executives raised serious doubts about the credibility of the dramatic testimony given by James and his father Rupert, head of the News Corp. media empire. (AP Photo/Sang Tan, File)
LONDON (AP) — James Murdoch is being recalled for another grilling before Britain's Parliament after former News Corp. executives raised serious doubts about his role in the country's tabloid phone hacking scandal.
The committee of lawmakers investigating the scandal hopes to tie up "one or two loose ends" by recalling the younger Murdoch, committee Chairman John Whittingdale said Tuesday. But the committee said News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch — who appeared alongside his son at a July 19 U.K. hearing that was televised around the world — was not being recalled.
The two Murdochs gave a dramatic performance earlier this summer, apologizing for a scandal that has shaken Britain's establishment but refusing to accept responsibility for the illegal behavior which happened at newspapers under their watch.
Ex-News Corp. employees have cast doubt on several claims made by the father-and-son media magnates.
Former News of the World tabloid editor Colin Myler and former legal adviser Tom Crone insisted that James Murdoch was wrong when he claimed not to have been aware of a critical piece of evidence suggesting that illegal espionage was far more widespread at the tabloid then was being claimed at the time.
Myler and Crone insist that Murdoch was explicitly told about the evidence in a 2008 meeting — raising the possibility that James Murdoch authorized a massive phone hacking payout in an effort to bury the scandal and then lied to parliament about it in July.
"Clearly, there are different accounts which we have heard," Whittingdale told Sky News television. "We have spent some time questioning Tom Crone and Colin Myler last week about their version of what happened. We would want to put that to James Murdoch and hear more about how he recalls the meeting."
James Murdoch has stood by his testimony and his company has criticized Myler and Crone's evidence as confused and contradictory. A spokeswoman for News Corp., where James Murdoch serves as deputy chief operating officer, said he was "happy to appear in front of the select committee to answer any further questions."
Alice Macandrew said the company would "await details of the committee's request."
Whittingdale told Sky that his committee was "beginning to reach the end of its deliberations" but didn't give a specific date for the new testimony. He also said he wanted to quiz Les Hinton, Rupert Murdoch's former right-hand man, Mark Lewis, a lawyer for many people who have sued the tabloid for hacking into their phones, and Farrer & Co., a law firm which advised News International executives on the payout.
Neither Hinton, Lewis, nor Farrer & Co. immediately returned messages seeking comment. Hinton, the former publisher of Murdoch's U.S. flagship, The Wall Street Journal, is the most senior executive to resign in the hacking scandal.
At least 16 people have been arrested over the phone hacking scandal, in which News of the World stands accused of illegally hacking into the voice mails of celebrities, politicians and even murder victims in search of scoops. Those arrested include Andy Coulson, the former top communications aide for Prime Minister David Cameron.
In a separate development Tuesday, a lawyer told Britain's High Court that the mother of a July 7, 2005 London transit bombing victim was among those suing the News of the World over allegations of illegal espionage.
Hugh Tomlinson said that Sheila Henry, whose son Christian Small was killed in the 2005 suicide bombings, was among those seeking damages from the now-defunct British paper.
It wasn't immediately clear whether she or her son had been spied upon by News of the World journalists, although a BBC obituary published after the bombings said loved ones had made repeated attempts to contact him by phone after the bombing.
News of the World journalists are accused of routinely mining voicemail messages left on the phones of crime victims for stories.
Henry's will now be among a series of test cases aimed at deciding how to handle an ever-growing number of claims being made against the News of the World by people who allege that they'd been illegally spied upon by the tabloid.
Tomlinson also said that staff at News Group Newspapers — a sub-unit of News Corp. responsible for publishing the News of the World and The Sun tabloid — had uncovered tens of thousands of documents as part of their inquiries.
The documents' content wasn't made clear.

Hey all, I just traded my 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet for a 64 Opel Kadett Coupe. I am going to start working on it ASAP though will take some help from some more knowledgable A series owners. I'm more of a british car guy myself and this is new territory for me. First order of business is electrical and brakes. I want to get the brakes working since they are non-existant right now. Was thinking of just bench bleeding the master and flushing system then bleeding and hoping for the best. Since I'm not really sure where to get spares.
Looked through some of the pictures of the 65 on here, look quite different from my 64.
I also need some lighting too tail and turn signals. Any help is much appreciated.
Look forward to getting to know some of you and will keep you updated.

Да, пожалуйста... (Yes please...)
Fun fact: "Vodka" is actually a diminutive form of the Russian word for water (Voda/вода). Much like we turn "horse" into "horsey", "vodka" is the "cute" form of "voda". ;) Cute, little water...
Re: Earth Derby: The Tiny Guardian

at first i didnt check it because it looked to just be another cutesy shirt and im not really into those much, but the rest of the design totally makes up for any cutesy factor.
nice work!

For sure. I'm thinking next time I have an idea like this I'll try to do a colab, 'cause my artistic skills are definitely on the lower end of the spectrum.

Eh I don't think this one is too similar to the threadless one. To me, the first thing I saw was Mr. Miyamoto and not the plumber. If they let the rocket turtle go unrejected they might just let this one by.
Reminds me of Redwall! Haven't thought of that series in quite a while. Very nice =]

A+ as always Chris. I love both your designs this week sir. The mood you set with this one is some of your most effective yet.
very nice!
the colors are great and the design is very cool!
could totally fit in the steampunk derby too, albeit this is a little more clockwork than steampunk...

Help Identify Trim
I am planning to extend my fireplace mantel to one side but I am having a hard time identifying the trim. I've looked at Home Depot, but they don't have anything like it in stock. I'm sure its a standard decorative trim, but I just don't know what it's called.
The top of the mantel looks like its just an oval type of trim with a small crown molding underneath it--both can be found at HD.
However, I can't find the decorative panel trim shown on the face of the mantel.
Almost looks like a fancy screen bead.
How old would you guess that trim is?
The reason I ask is many years ago there was no HD or Lowes and it was common to have local planning mills make there own trim with there own knives made in house.
So you end up with what I call reginal trim. By that I mean it was only used in that one area and does not match any stock mouldings.
Are there any really old real lumber yards in your area that may be more help then any box store on this one?
The trim is probably from the 40's and there are plenty of lumber yards around my area that I can contact.
Thanks for the tip and the link!

I actually know the answer to that question but, I'll allow a member to win.
When you click on the Pop-N-Glo logo above...the trivia question is in the Blog section people.
While you're there shop for Pop-N-Glo targets. Support our vendors. They help keep this place alive and kicking.
And aside from that the Pop-N-Glo targets are less expensive than the "other" brand and your hits on target will show up better than on those also.
It's a Win/Win situation.

Your skin is just different, women can wear light foundation and just walk out the door. We have to do more visible contouring, and use better coverage foundation to conceal things like beard shadow and flaws in your skin.
They are also very LGBT friendly and will match you with no questions. They even sponsored a season of RuPauls drag race.
They will even do Mac makeovers on guys to show them how to look like a girl. They will help you with contouring etc. As far as I know the makeovers are free if you purchase $50 or more of makeup.
Geez, that sounds awesome..... but that also sounds like you need to go to a store for that, however, I don't have any around me I think if MAC does have stores. MAYBE there is some in Boston.... but I kinda doubt it. Sounds tempting if they are really that open with us. s:

Building deck over concrete patio
I currently have a 12 x 24 concrete patio that is cracked parallel to the house, almost in the center. I want to build a deck approximately the same size, in the same location. The problem is that the patio slopes toward the house and water pools up in one of the inside corners against the house.
I was curious to determine ideas regarding whether I should (a) have the deck raised and leveled, by means of a jacking process of some sort, and then build the deck over the repaired patio or (b) have the patio torn out and then fill in the void with dirt and then build the deck over that. I got a quote for having the concrete raised and leveled for around $950. I assume the cost of removing the patio would be about $350 or more, plus the cost of some material to fill in the hole that the removed patio will cost. Could I just repour concrete over the existing patio to fix the poor slope, since I don't care what it looks like, and then deck over that?
Any ideas? I would like to do as much of this as I can myself, and my dad and I will be building the deck.
Thanks for any help.
Remove the concrete and be done with it.
Even if you add concrete to level it, there's no guarranty it won't continue to sink. Even mud jacking might not be the correct decision with all the weight you'll be putting on top after it's raised.
Pull it up.
And the deck over it may have problems due to no air flow under it. So remove the concrete.
its unamimous - get that old stuff the f outta there :laughing: compact the new fill to provide positive drainage,,, careful of mechanical compaction in case you've block bsmt walls - could damage 'em !
You will have to make holes in it anyhow, to dig for post foundations, remove it.
Thanks folks. I guess that makes the most sense, as then I can grade to flow away from the house, and I won't have to worry about further concrete changes. Thanks again.
$30.00 for a 10lb sledge hammer. Take out some frustrations on that concrete.
I had the same issue - my patio that came with the house was leaning towards the house. I just hammered on it a hour or so each night after work - very therapeutic!
Then I roughed in a 16x20 deck..! Picture here - http://tfcountdown.blogspot.com/
We even used the old concrete as landscaping - look around the trees in background hehe. It looks nice.
I see this is a older post now - how did it go?
