Paid cash for mine as well.
Seller's eyes went "boiiiing" and his mouth started drooling when I went to the car and brought out a 2" stack of $100 bills in an effort to knock him off another thousand on the asking price. lol. Needless to say, he obliged right away.
Cash is king when you are buying a car. And if you're buying from private seller, often times they don't mind writing the sale price as lower on the title to save you tax money (I do not endorse or do this).

glue/adhesive to use ..
Hello.. I'm not versed in the correct wording for this stuff ,so . tho. I'm sure it's in the search and been said before.. I'm shoot'n blanks
well I am installing a sub box in the center console of my fiero. and have to use a spacer ring(s) wood rings made of sawdust board/fiberboard it's finer than partical board..
anyways to match the interior that light gray and red.. I bought some vinyl from joann's fabrics.. in a red thats a little darker but close enough..
my question is.. what to use to glue the vinyl to the wood ring..
gorrilla glue?? adhesive???
the ends will be hidden, but the outer face of the rings will be seen..
should I glue that face area first let dry.. then cut and fold the ends over and glue that??
the area that will be seen will be at most 1.5" outerface of the ring. the sides are covered by the box it'll up against and the other side the speaker..
thanks for help on this...
This should do the job.http://common1.csnimages.com/lf/1/ha...z,+Aerosol.jpg
Adhesives used to be a simple thing. You went to the hardware store and got contact cement.
No longer, especially if you're in CA which I hope your not. Almost no adhesive spray or brush-on you can get from a store shelf will hold even the lightest materials if there is any sun shine on it, all will creep or drop off entirely. DAP brand is the worst, 3M is at-least so-so. That's not to say there isn't usable glue here, it's just not economical for normal stores to maintain the permits required to have it on premises.
So just make sure that (a) you buy in a state other than California, (b) you get yellow solvent-based stuff, NOT white water-base and (c) be able to fold the material over onto a hidden surface and then staple the edge there if at all possible.
That said, the stuff in the pic above is what I'd use, or what's called "trim adhesive" in spray cans. Know that uneven application may show through as bumps in your material so spray is best.
You need the right glue for the right application. Most car interior applications need a bulk (in containers of a gallon or larger), spray grade (shot from a spray gun, not an aerosol), HHR (high heat resistant), top and trim contact adhesive like DAP or 3-M. There are very few aerosols that will handle high heat, and most glues won't work well gluing vinyl to wood. I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, but I would try to staple the vinyl to the wood before I'd try to glue it to the wood. Look at this Wiki article if you still decide to glue the vinyl on: http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...ntact_adhesive
kso, you are wrong with most of what you posted. "uneven application" of the glue will not show through vinyl even if you apply it with a brush, and DAP and 3-M are the standards of the industry for interior work. "normal stores"? You don't find this contact adhesive in home improvement stores, you find it in places that cater to people who do upholstery work. Like this place: http://www.yourautotrim.com/noname37.html

Shoot Him If He Runs (Stone Barrington) (original 2007; edition 2008)
by Stuart Woods
Work details
Shoot Him if He Runs by Stuart Woods (2007)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Light, entertaining, escapist. Stone Barrington gets an assignment to a Caribbean island with a woman partner and, of course, Dino. Dino didn't play too big a role. But, Holly Barker, partner, survives the book--unlike many of Stone's mistresses. It's a game changer for the government of St Marks. Fun read, where's number 15?.
Good story....characters not as strong in this one and ending is a bit rushed, but still a fun read. This one also keeps you guessing till the end, and I really like the stories where Barrington and Barker work together. This would be a great beach book.
Enjoyable mystery crime/CIA story with a good reader. Stone and friends are sent to find a rogue CIA former assassin to St. Marks in the Caribean.
The first Stuart Woods novel I picked up I never finished. It just didn't grab me enough. A couple years later a new friend suggested a Woods novel, so I readit. It was very good and sicne thenI've read several of Wood's novels.
Barrington is brought in to handle a simple stock sale of a movie studio, but of course it became far more than that.
Populated with very rich beautiful people, you'd think this book would be a promo piece for Hollywood, but it turned out to be a darn good read. It was nice to revisit Arone Barrington and his incredible luck.
If you like a good murder mystery, this isit.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451223608, Mass Market Paperback)In the newest addition to the bestselling series, Stone Barrington and Holly Barker pursue a master spy and murderer in a tropical paradise where very little is as it seems.
Teddy Fay, a rogue agent last seen escaping an imploding building in Iron Orchid, has been considered dead for some time now. But President Will Lee thinks Teddy may still be alive. In a top-secret Oval Office meeting, Stone learns that he and his cohorts, Holly Barker and Dino Baldachetti, are being sent to the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Marks, courtesy of the CIA, to track down Teddy once and for all.
St. Marks is a vacationer's paradise, but its luxurious beach clubs and secluded mountain villas are home to corrupt local politicians and more than a few American ex-pats with murky personal histories. Stone and Holly soon discover that in St. Marks, everyone is hiding something, and Teddy Fay may just be hiding in plain sight.

Enjoy our beautiful and easy to use user interface.
Start now with free 40,000 virtual chips for the Texas Holdem Poker casino game!!!
In Hold'em, each player is dealt two private cards (known as 'hole cards') that belong to them alone. Five community cards are dealt face-up, to form the 'board'. All players in the game use these shared community cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to each make their best possible five-card poker hand. In Hold'em, a player may use any combination of the seven cards available to make the best possible five-card poker hand, using zero, one or two of their private hole cards.
The objective of winning players is not to win every individual hand, but rather to make mathematically and psychologically correct decisions regarding when and how much to bet, raise, call or fold. By making such decisions, winning poker players can maximize their expected gain on each round of betting, thereby increasing their long-term winnings.
Poker is a family of card games involving betting and individualistic play whereby the winner is determined by the ranks and combinations of their cards, some of which remain hidden until the end of the game. Texas Holdem Poker games vary in the number of cards dealt, the number of shared or "community" cards and the number of cards that remain hidden. The betting procedures vary among different poker games in such ways as betting limits and splitting the pot between a high hand and a low hand.
Poker has gained in popularity since the beginning of the twentieth century, and has gone from being primarily a recreational activity confined to small groups of mostly male enthusiasts, to a widely popular spectator activity with international audiences and multi-million dollar tournament prizes.

Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) is scheduled to report its third quarter, fiscal 2012 results before the market opens on Wednesday, October 24, 2012. The company is expected to earn $1.16 (representing an increase of 8.29% from the year-ago quarter's $1.07) on revenues of $2.99 billion, according to the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Barring the third quarter of fiscal 2011, Thermo Fisher has surpassed expectations in the last three quarters with a four-quarter positive surprise of 4.40%. This means that the company has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by this magnitude over the last four quarters. Based on this favorable trend, there is a high probability that the company will exceed estimates in the upcoming quarter.
Previous Quarter Highlights
Thermo Fisher reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.22 in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.16 and the adjusted EPS of 99 cents in the year-ago period.
Revenues increased 9% year over year to reach $3.10 billion during the quarter, nominally higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.05 billion based on overall growth across all segments. Revenue growth on a pro forma basis (considering that the Dionex and Phadia acquisitions were owned for the entire second quarter in both years) was 1%. There was 1% tailwind from acquisitions other than Dionex and Phadia, negated by a 3% impact from currency translation.
Agreement of Analysts
Revisions in estimates for the third quarter have been mixed over the past month. Of the total 15 estimates for the quarter, one has been revised upward, while only 2 moved in the opposite direction over the last 30 days. In the past week, only one analyst revised the estimate and moved in the downward direction.
However, for the entire fiscal, the estimate revision trend confirms that the majority of analysts are in agreement about a strong third quarter earnings at Thermo Fisher. Out of 17 estimates, there were 3 upward revisions over the last 30 days without any revision in the opposite direction. Over the last 7 days, only one estimate revision has been made in the upward direction.
Amid a tough macroeconomic environment which affected many Thermo Fisher's peers, the analysts are encouraged by the company's performance in the last reported quarter which surpassed the estimates. Although, they make a cautious stand on the company due to ongoing headwinds in the academic and government end markets, they are encouraged by the company's highly diversified nature and believe that it should benefit from its current focus on food safety, water quality, climate change and molecular research.
Meanwhile, the firms are optimistic about the company's continuous acquisition spree which includes the recent ones like One Lambda, Dionex and Phadia, which will strengthen the company's product portfolio and provide better access to regions with strong potential. They believe that the acquisition of One Lambda, with strong operating margin should also benefit the company and be accretive to earnings in 2013. Moreover, according to the analysts, Thermo Fisher has a strong presence in the emerging markets than its peers and China could prove to be significant for the company's growth.
However, concern remains about lower organic growth expectations over the next two years as its exposure to China is still quite low, not so encouraging ROIC because of continued M&A activities and the ongoing economic uncertainty.
Thermo Fisher provided a detailed outlook for fiscal 2012. The company expects to report revenues of $12.14−$12.26 billion (previous guidance of $12.27−$12.43 billion) in fiscal 2012 reflecting the impact of divestiture of laboratory workstations, unfavorable currency, partially offset by an additional revenue from Doe & Ingalls acquisition. However, the outlook for adjusted EPS was raised to $4.74−$4.84 ($4.71−$4.83), resulting in 14−16% (13−16%) growth on the back of the previously mentioned factors as well as increased stock repurchase authorization.
In spite of the current uncertainty in the global governmental funding, most of the analysts are encouraged with the outlook and are confident that Thermo Fisher would be able to meet its guidance based on its strong fundamentals and business strategies.
Magnitude of Estimate Revisions
There have been no estimate revisions for the third quarter over the past 60 days. However, estimates for the quarter have gone down by a penny over the past 3 months. Moreover, estimates for fiscal 2012 have increased by a penny and 3 cents to $4.81 over the past 30 and 90 days, respectively. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 is $4.81, reflecting year-over-year growth of 15.65%.
We are encouraged with the strong performance of Thermo Fisher in the recent quarters. The company has been recording improved operating margin over the recent past, reflecting the initiatives to keep the cost structure lean. It is also banking on Practical Process Improvement (:PPI) and PPI-Lean projects. The huge potential in the emerging markets led the company to focus on these regions, which paid off with their robust performances in the recent quarters.
The company's strong cash position enables it to make suitable acquisitions, or repurchase shares, thereby improving the bottom line further. However, several factors, including unfavorable foreign exchange movement, deferrals in buying decisions of customers could negatively impact the company's sales in the upcoming quarter that led it to lower the revenue outlook for 2012. Thermo Fisher operates in a fiercely competetive market with peers like Life Technologies (LIFE). We are currently 'Neutral' on the stock over the long term.

July 3, 2012 – Nurburgring, Germany - Battling changeable weather and chasing a perfect set-up, Alexander Rossi fought through to a solid ninth-place finish in race two at the Nurburgring last weekend
Caterham F1 Test Driver and Arden Caterham WSR Driver Alexander Rossi was at the Nürburgring in Germany last weekend for the fourth round of the Formula Renault 3.5 series. It was a mixed weekend, with challenging weather conditions making life tough for the American and his team, although some last-minute set-up changes improved Alexander's pace in the race.
"We went into Saturday qualifying quite confident with the car, however there were still various unknowns due to not having had a full dry practice session," mentioned Alexander.
"After qualifying we realized we had been too aggressive with the set-up of the car and for the levels of grip available for the track, so we made some changes for the race which greatly improved the pace," he added. "However, I did not expect to P20, and I knew it would be difficult to over unless it rained, as the ring is notoriously hard to overtake."
Despite the difficulty the whole field had in overtaking, Alexander managed to move up the field to P18 by the chequered flag, and his good pace during race one gave both him and the team confidence for day three and the second qualifying session.
"Going into the second qualifying session, we took what we learned from race one and our pace was a bit better. Unfortunately, I caught traffic in sector 2 which cost me 6/10ths, placing me P16 for race two."
"For the race itself we were hoping for rain as we knew we performed well under those conditions. Once the race got under way it immediately started to rain and it was a difficult call to make, when and if to pit for wet tyres. The rain then nearly stopped and a dry line appeared to be consistent, so we pitted for new rear slicks for our mandatory stop. Unfortunately, the rain came down again three laps later and we were forced to stop again and change to wets.
"Once we completed the pit stop the pace was good, and to finish ninth was a decent result. Despite that I obviously always want to win and as a team we have more to achieve."
Julian Rouse, Arden Caterham Sporting Director: "Sunday's race was very interesting! It was a difficult race where we had very changeable conditions which made calling the right strategy challenging and we started P16. Alexander made some good progress through the race and did a great job of dealing with the conditions and finished ninth, which is a good result considering the unpredictability of the race and where we started from.
"The whole team worked well this weekend. The pit stops were very good and everyone reacted well. Looking ahead to the next round, we need to work on our qualifying performance, but we've certainly made a big step forward from Spa and ultimately we come away from this weekend feeling positive."
That next round will be in Moscow for the series first visit to Russia, on 13th -15th July. The event will take place at the brand new Moscow Raceway, some 90km west of the city.

Paula Deen plays the age card to excuse using the 'n word'
There are 346 comments on the Examiner.com story from Jun 20, 2013, titled Paula Deen plays the age card to excuse using the 'n word'. In it, Examiner.com reports that:
"I'm old." More or less, that's the excuse given by reps of celebrity chef Paula Deen on Thursday , to explain her use of the "n word."

I'm sure she did receive Government help. the blonde blue eyed ppl in the south are usually poor who do rely on food stamps and welfare. just like honey boo boo chile. Either you live in a trailer in the woods or you live in a shack and that's a fact.
I'm glad she made it out of the woods and became successful. That woman still has money so lets all just get over this and move on.
United States
#370 Jul 7, 2013
You would be wrong. Paula Deens husband left her with 2 children, and she borrowed $200. from relatives to start making sandwiches in her kitchen. She catered lunches for people working at a nearby factory. From there she started a catering business, from there opened her first business, went on Food network, wrote some books, pays more taxes then most people, and asked the government for nothing. That is why the lazy shiftless people are trying to discredit her now. Liberals can't stand success, especially if the successful are white. She will be fine, and probably make more money in the future then she did before.
#371 Jul 7, 2013
You are an utter and complete idiot and I suspect. I grew up in the North, then lived in the South for the rest of my adult life.
Welfare states by race. The percentages are apx pices of the welfare pie
"With regard to AFDC the figures are:
White 38.8%
Black 39.8
Hispanic 15.7
Asian 2.4
other 3.3
Only 14% of the population is black, yet they are getting almost 40% of the welfare dollar in this country.
To break down these numbers, we look at how many Whites are in the population as a WHOLE. If Blacks make up less 14% of the population and are almost 40% of all receipients, then they represent about 2.5 times their actual population. Since Whites are over 50% of the total US pop., they represent less than their overall piece of the pie, population-wise. Hispanics are at least 15% of the general population, so they take only about as much as what their population represents. There are over 4X as many Whites in this country than Blacks. Yet both groups are getting a similar sized piece of the welfare pie.
#372 Jul 7, 2013
As for Paula Deen, I liked her a lot more after she was accused, but before she started opening her mouth in defense of herself. Now she just sounds like a stupid whiner, spouting dumb things like, "I is what I is." I am getting tired of the wounded victim look. I liked her well enough before that and the N word certainly didn't change that. It is that since then she has been a groveling complaining wimp who needs to just shut the hell up.
United States
#374 Jul 7, 2013
Most people like Paula Deen a lot more then the people who are trying t ruin her financially, and ruin her reputation. Try to find one person who have never said the "N" word. It is stupid to pretend a word is the problem. Incidentally we still have freedom of speech, and you can still use that word, or any other.

welfare was designed to help white folk.it was called aid back then. when you all came to this country, you had nothing, you were poor. The government set up property, small businesses and aid for you while others worked sun up to sun down. welfare has always been for white ppl and even if other non white ppl collect it, they still get no where near the amount that white folks get. maybe if you didn't steal our natural resources from our land most blk folk wouldn't need aid. give them back their gold, diamonds, oil, land, iron, coal, cocoa, ivory, bamboo, fine fabrics, herbs and spices, coffee, tea, petroleum, uranium, natural gas, precious jewelry, raw materials, minerals, etc. Give it back ! and you can have all the welfare/aid you need!

Agreed. Those detractors who are on their high horse are simply hypocrites. I'll bet Paula is finding out who her real friends are now. I'll bet also, all of her black detractors have said, "Cracker, or Honkey, or any number of other slurs. It is pure crap that the reverse is somehow OK or not as bad. The intent is hatefullness, and no one likes to be on the receiving end.
I'm sorry, but if I'd been Paula Deen I would have said, "No, I don't ever remember using such a slur, my Mamma taught us better than that." Defy anyone to remember it, have a recording of it, or be able to prove she even remembered it. Cops lie to people all the time, so do politicians. Yet we are supposed to spill our guts to our own ruin. Screw that. I'd play by the same rules the big boys do. You can't prove a person remembers using a word 20 or 30 years ago. Hence, no perjury charges :)NADA no financial ruin either.

I might add, everyone who is trying to destroy her WILL deny EVER using the "N" word as they work to ruin Paula Deen.

That may be, but that is all people are talking about. The woman suing her btw is white!

These detractors of Paula's have a short interest span. Soon they will be onto destroying someone else over something just as stupid. They need to get a life. Paula will survive just fine. Martha Stewart did when the Government went after her.

Seriously? You are calling Paula Deen an "old" person. Have you ever heard of ageism? This is another form of discrimination. The point was that Paula Dean did not invent racism, and actually, when she grew up in the south it was accepted by the society at large. I have never uttered the n word, but the line of questioning was not fair. Have you ever in your life said such-and-such? So, anything we say, whether or not behind closed doors could come back to destroy our lives? Maybe in the future there will be ways to read our minds as well. Or the question will be phrased, "Have you ever thought of calling whoever a bad name?" But, if you get a gun held to your head in a bank robbery, what is a fair name to call the perpetrator in private when describing this to your spouse? Jerk, idiot, psychopath, piece of garbage, sociopath, villain, a______, jack ___, robber, terrorist? Or perhaps you could think of a more appropriate name to call the bank robber

I have been there, in Alabama, 1968. I was walking home on a rural road, I had a large dog on a long lead, walking in tall grasses. Six drunken black field hands, boozed up on moonshine, brought their car to a halt. As these filthy morons poured out of the rattletrap headed towards my 21 year old white self, they were muttering filthy obscenities at me, one rubbing his privates. After the 'deer in the headlights' look, I yanked on the dogs leash. He came charging out from the underbrush. Does anyone wonder what came out of my mouth after that!!!??? The "N" word was the least of it! I would have called them white trash, slack jawed neanderthals, but NO, that wouldn't have worked. It was more like you Fn MFing "Ns", this dog is going to tear you a new A-- h---. Get in your GD car and get the H. out of here now!! F.Y., you stupid SOBs. When someone holds your life in their hands, there is nothing that won't come out of your mouth. They backed up to get away. Without that dog, I would likely have been raped for days and buried in a shallow grave in the woods. They wouldn't have dared let me go to testify against them. Either the Klan or the law would have taken care of them, and they knew it. I have never wanted to hurt anyone, but have no regard for those who would hurt and destroy me.
I suppose that wouldn't look good in a deposition either! I am not the least bit ashamed of it and never will be.

I'm not really surprised at Paula I mean she's from a different era black folks were drinking from the COLORED only water fountain when she was a kid!!! Not to mention she's from a place where they still have ZULU and REX parades that shi is soooooo racist

Holders Bayern Munich beat Arsenal 2-0 in Champions League first leg clash
Arsenal 0 - Bayern Munch 2
Arsenal saw goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny sent off after record-signing Mesut Ozil had missed an early penalty, and eventually went down 2-0 against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16 first leg clash at the Emirates Stadium.
There was a blistering start to the European tie - a year on from their last encounter in north London - and the holders could have snatched an early lead when Toni Kroos fired in a 25-yard effort towards the top corner, which Szczesny tipped over.
Yaya Sanogo had been a controversial selection in attack ahead of France striker Olivier Giroud, whose off-field actions have made headlines in recent weeks.
However, the summer free transfer from Auxerre - who has been out for several months with a back problem - saw a close-range shot palmed away by Manuel Neuer, before the German keeper saved a tame spot-kick from Ozil on eight minutes.
There was more drama just before the break as Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny was shown a red card for bringing down Arjen Robben in the penalty area - only for full-back David Alaba to side-footed his spot-kick against the base of the post.
Bayern, though, went ahead on 54 minutes with a superb 20-yard strike from Kroos, which was whipped into the top corner past substitute keeper Lukasz Fabianski.
Arsenal tired heading into the final 20 minutes as Robben exploited the space in front of a jaded backline.
Eventually, the pressure told as substitute Thomas Muller headed in a late second goal to all but kill off the tie ahead of the return leg at the Allianz Arena next month - where Arsenal won 2-0 last season, but ultimately lost on away goals.

Freshly Motivated
By Kelly Cordes
We shoulda stayed at Indian Creek, I thought, followed quickly by, I hope he's at the anchors, so we can bail. Midway up Scott DeCapio's lead—our first pitch of the day—he'd whined down, "Man, I'm getting old and soft…I'm a-scairt!" Then he tapped a column of ice tentacles that promptly snapped and thundered onto the cone at the base of the climb, half of them deflecting my way and sending me into the hot-potato dance in my crampons. Then he rocketed upward.
We'd started the day with grouchiness from our alpine start (leaving at 7 counts as inhumane in my book), and half an hour later we got grumpier when we found two rigs already parked at the trailhead for the Ames Ice Hose, which, according to the Internet and the view from the road, seemed to be in great condition.
"Goddamnit, Cracka," I said, "whatdya think? Maybe they've just left and we should try that stupid footrace-to-the-base thing?"
"Naw, that sucks," Scotty D replied. "Let's see if the reports are wrong—maybe Bridal Veil is in now. Where them Twizzlers at?"
It's too easy to fall into a comfortable routine in a place like Colorado, with so much great weather and so many great climbs. You get spoiled. Before you know it, adventure and all of its often-uncomfortable yet unparalleled rewards becomes secondary to classic, beautiful, overclimbed routes, with follow-the-tape chalked holds, a yellow TCU at the crux (the Internet said so), and drafting in pick holes. Great fun, of course, and great for the ego and the arms guns. I don't know why that's not enough, but I know that just a little shift in mentality—like the willingness to hustle and try for more, or to take the tools for a walk (even to classics the Internet says aren't in yet)—can squeeze the most out of normally overpicked Colorado.
Our quick road trip had begun with two awesome days at Indian Creek—best crag in the 'Rado. Heavenly setting, crowds gone for the season, perfect temps, and perfect rock. Self-toproping all the way, baby. Best of all, none of that camping bullshit in December: We grabbed a hotel in Moab. Maybe, we told ourselves, the key to this whole deal is knowing when to relax and when to go. We caught the liquor store just before it closed, and the hotel had cable—we watched "Cops" and then, Next up on Spike TV!, marveled as a crocodile chomped some dude's head at a gatorland park.For some reason we left the Creek and traded cams for screws, and on our third morning, when the rope came tight on Bridal Veil, I whimpered and felt scared under a snug toprope. When I reached the anchor and grabbed the rack, though, the strangest thing happened: I forgot about bailing. As I began my pitch, I drifted back to my Montana climbing roots—no sign of other climbers, virgin ice, no hooking. I actually had to swing my tools into cold, brittle ice. Balls! A long way from Montana but still holding on, I clobbered myself when I cocked my tool beneath overhanging mushrooms and, like Wile E Coyote and the anvil, kept knocking daggers onto my head, so many times it left me bloodied and seeing tweety birds. Goddamnit, Cracka, where's the hooked-out ice? We topped out, rapped, hiked to the car, ate lunch, and tiptoed around the idea of what to do next. It was early afternoon. Marg-thirty yet?
It's funny how motivations shift, and how some things change but others never do.
"Man, think about how psyched we'd have been on that 10 years ago," Scotty said, driving the Deadbeat Mobile out of Telluride.
"I know…. shit," I said, feeling not-yet-satisfied and knowing that Scotty felt the same. "Should we check out the Hose?"
"We'll feel better about ourselves if we do, I guess," he said, turning left at the junction. "And then we can fully justify a megaman dinner."
So we drove to Ames, acting as if we didn't want to do this, which we didn't even though we did, and then we went. No one else, just us and perfect, sticky, hooked-out ice to make us feel like hard men. We started up at 3:45 p.m. on the winter solstice, fueled by notions of ambitions perhaps shifted but not yet gone, topped out as the day's last rays faded below the jagged skyline, turned on our headlamps to descend, and boogied back to the car. We had margs to drink.

The waiver wire should be humming this week thanks to a few injuries and some spins on the quarterback carousel. The first guy to grab is 49ers running back Glen Coffee.
Assuming Frank Gore misses a few weeks because of his ankle injury, Coffee ought to be a good start the next two weeks against St. Louis and Atlanta. His 2.2 yards on 25 carries last week against the Vikings was not impressive. But Coffee will benefit from practicing with the first team all week, plus the Rams are not in the same stratosphere as the Vikings on defense.
Don't worry, the 49ers will not turn into a passing team without Gore so Coffee should have plenty of chances, including goal-line carries.
Here are some other guys to consider picking up this week.
Donnie Avery, WR, Rams. If somebody in your league dumped him after his putrid start, go get Avery again. Laurent Robinson is out for the season so Avery will have no choice but to catch a few of the balls coming his way. Quarterback Kyle Boller gave the Rams a little spark last week, but that might be only temporary.
Tashard Choice, RB, Cowboys. With Felix Jones hurt again, Choice is up next. However, Marion Barber should return this week, reducing Choice's role, especially on the goal line.
Chad Henne, QB, Dolphins. Remember that the Dolphins passed on Matt Ryan last year because they had their eye on Henne. That won't get you any fantasy points, although Henne will get a chance to live up to that billing now that Chad Pennington is gone. The Dolphins don't have great receivers, however, and Henne also might lose some snaps to RB Ronnie Brown working the Wildcat.
Maurice Morris, RB, Lions. This is an absolute desperation pickup because Morris is barely an UFL-caliber runner, much less NFL quality. If starter Kevin Smith can't play, maybe Morris gets a few stats by default; more likely, he will have a long, ineffective day against the Bears.
Josh Johnson, QB, Buccaneers. He is starting. Outside of that, you can't say too much about him one way or the other. It is hard to see him doing much the next two weeks in Washington and in Philadelphia, but if you had been playing Brady Quinn, well, you can't be much worse off with Johnson.
Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers. Another costly drop probably dooms Limas Sweed to the bench for a while, leaving Wallace as Pittsburgh's obvious No. 3 receiver. And with the Steelers throwing more this year, that will lead to some TDs, as well as games such as last week's when Wallace had 102 yards.

Walter Dacon 2007 C'est Syrah Magnifique: French or American Oak?
A couple of weekends ago, the hubby and I finally had the pleasure of tasting some of the much lauded Walter Dacon Wines. Part of the fun of tasting these Washington wines was that we sampled two of the Walter Dacon Syrahs side by side – the 2007 C'est Syrah Beaux, and the 2007 C'est Syrah Magnifique. The challenge? To ascertain which had been aged in American oak, and which had been aged in French oak.
Both wines are 100% Syrah, yet there was clearly a difference between them. On its own, the Magnifique is a lovely, fruit forward wine with red berries and cherries on the palate, and a long finish. Since American oak is known to impart a coconut flavor, I thought I would be able to distinguish which wine was which based on detecting that flavor in one of the wines. However, it didn't come across. In fact, I thought each of the wines gave off a hint of vanilla and spice, as French oak is known to do. Leave it to Bean to correctly solve the puzzle based on characteristics in the wine she felt had been imparted based on the degree of toast that had been given to the oak. She then deduced which type of oak would be most likely to receive that level of toast. The answer: The C'est Syrah Magnifique was aged in French oak. Guess I better stay in wine school.
Here's where it got even more interesting! Bean prepared an amazingly smokey barbequed salmon to pair with the Syrahs. While the salmon was certainly tasty in its own right, it imparted a smooth silky essence that totally played off and heightened the Magnifique. In exchange, the Magnifique seemed to lure out even more smokey essence from the salmon. This is a pairing that I won't soon forget! If you're not inclined to barbeque yet this year, try this Syrah with Tarragon Chicken.
2 Responses to "Walter Dacon 2007 C'est Syrah Magnifique: French or American Oak?"
Another experiment that night was beef meatballs plain and with two different barbeque sauces. One sauce was Arthur Bryant's from Kansas City and the other was from Texas, no doubt one I had picked up in the DFW airport.
C'est Syrah Beaux was a great match with the Arthur Bryant's sauce with its layers of spices and not a single hint of sweetness. The other sauce was definitely tasty but did not match because it had a bit of sweetness. I like the fact that Beaux is aged in American oak and goes with a very American bbq sauce.

Rihanna creating 'fun' RI line
Rihanna's co-designer Adam Selman says the star's Fall/Winter 14 line has a real "concept" behind it.
The Barbadian singer has collaborated with British high street store River Island on a clothing line and is gearing up to show her Fall/Winter 14 collection.
It's her second for the brand and her co-designer Adam Selman has revealed what fans can expect from the upcoming pieces.
"We had a lot more fun this time round," he smiled to vogue.co.uk.
"The first collection was a lot purer, about finding pieces that Rihanna felt were missing from her closet. There is a real concept to this one. I can't give too much away, but we travel so much and experience so much of the world.
"We're very lucky to do so and that definitely inspired us. The idea of sports uniforms and masculine vs feminine is something we evolved from last season too. There was a lot of pressure with our debut - this felt more relaxed."
Rihanna is known for being outspoken and is no different when it comes to her designs.
She's always in contact with Adam and they bounce ideas off one another.
"She has a very strong point of view and is very precise - I think I'll keep those sketches she gave me forever," he laughed.
"There's a lot of back and forth between us, but we're very simpatico with one another - we vibe."
The 25-year-old showed her debut collection with Adam at London Fashion Week in February.
It's not yet known if the next will also hit the UK catwalk, but the pair loved their first experience.
"We were both so honoured - it was mind-blowing," he marvelled.
"I don't think it sunk in until afterwards. The energy backstage and from the crowds out front was incredible. When we were waiting to take our bow she started jumping up and down and screaming. I was more stunned - it's a yin and yang thing."
Rihanna is known for her love of having a good time and is constantly spotted out on the town in fabulous ensembles.
She used her passion for partying to influence her latest collection.
"She loves going out, that's her thing. She really wanted to create dresses that girls want to party in around the Christmas season. The fit and silhouette is very important to her. She knows what she's talking about," Adam said.

What's a good size (pixel @ dpi) to work in? I really want to make a peice for the expose book. They ask for atleast 3700 x 2700 @ 300 dpi. Should I go bigger or stay around their?
I'm very new to the digital painting world, so all this talk about size and dpi aren't too familiar to me. I know dpi stands for dots per inch, the higher the better.
But I just wanted to know what standard size the veterans use.

I've been building decks for 40 years. For the first 35 years, I was content to make straight cuts with a circular saw following a chalk line—until I saw a demonstration of Festool's TS 75 track saw at a local contractor's show. I liked the way this system delivered faster and more-accurate cuts, but I didn't like the price tag, so I didn't buy one … then. Besides, what does a deck builder need a track saw for?
Still, I kept hearing the buzz about these saws, and I learned of a couple of well-respected decking contractors who were using them. Finally, when Makita introduced its version of the track saw, which was priced significantly lower than the Festool, I decided to take the plunge (technically, these saws are called plunge-cutting saws). Now I own the Makita SP6000K 6 1/2-inch track saw as well as Festool's larger TS 75 and can't imagine going back to a circular saw and a chalk line for the kind of work I do.
First Cuts
Like a lot of deck builders, I don't just build decks, which is one of the reasons I bought the Makita track saw in the first place. Most early adopters used their track saws for cutting down sheet goods, but my first project was cutting stair stringers out of 2x12 ipe for an exposed staircase down to a wine cellar. Previously, I had always notched such stringers with a circular saw, but no matter how hard I tried, my stringers never turned out perfectly. They were good enough, but the cuts always wandered slightly as the saw blade entered the stock at an angle, veered slightly off course, and then eased back to the cut line. Excited to try out my new saw, I said, What the heck, and ended up making perfectly straight and perfectly parallel cuts—the best I had ever made.
Why such an improvement? It's partly because the saw itself rides on a straight track, which guarantees that your cuts are going to be as straight as your track, no matter what the angle of your cut is. But it's also because there's no guessing where the blade is going to enter your stock: Just line up the edge of the track on your line or tick mark, and the saw will cut exactly where you want it to. And since the track lays down right on the line, it helps to prevent the wood from splintering (Figure 1).
Of course, using a 55-inch guide rail to make a 12-inch cut was a little bit unwieldy, but not a deal-breaker. Actually, a shorter, 18-inch-long track would be a great addition to the system.
Next, I needed to cut plywood for a skirt on a tall deck. Since the ground had a significant slope, I had to cut the plywood to match the grade. With the track saw, all I had to do was mark each edge of the plywood, align my track on the marks, and make the cut—no snapped lines and no clamps. That's because the track has a pair of rubber strips on the bottom that do a good job of gripping the surface of whatever you are cutting.
While the strips are effective, the track can also be equipped with optional clamps, which slide into a slot on the bottom of the track. I bought a pair, thinking that they'd be necessary, but have used them only once, just to try them out.
You can literally make perfect cuts with your eyes closed (though I don't recommend this), and if you're right-handed, you can use this saw with your left hand (and vice versa). I'm right-handed but often find it easier to make cuts with my left hand, something I would be very hesitant to do using my circular saw. With the track saw, I'm ambidextrous.
Trimming Deck Boards
Like most deck builders, I let the decking run long when I install it, then trim it afterward (Figure 2). I also typically place my posts outside of the deck edge, which gives my customers a little more room on their deck and eliminates the need to notch the decking all the way around the post.
When trimming the decking with a circular saw, I have to measure the overhang at each end, snap a chalk line between the marks, then carefully freehand the trim cut. But when I'm using my track saw, all I have to do is slide the track snug against each pair of posts, plunge my track saw into the decking, and trim away. Then I slide my track to the next section and continue the process. Not only do I save the time I would have spent snapping chalk lines, I get straighter, splinter-free cuts.
When the posts are set inside the deck framework, the process is a little different. Depending on the length of the side of the deck that I am cutting, I need to either place tick marks at each end or—if the deck is longer than my track—actually chalk a line. Then I just align the track with the tick marks or chalk line and start cutting.
Most track saws come with a single track that is long enough to cut 4-foot-wide sheet goods, but additional tracks in various lengths can also be added (Figure 3). Connector bars align the tracks with great precision, and it takes virtually no time at all to connect multiple tracks. I routinely connect three tracks together for about 15 feet of track length, and I'm about to purchase another 118-inch-long track, which will give me a potential track length of nearly 25 feet.
Track saws are ideal for customizing decks with borders, inlays, seam boards, and other features. The process is similar to trimming the edge of a deck, where I run the decking long and then trim it to length with the track saw (Figure 4). Perfectly straight cuts are critical here, since even the slightest waver in the cut line would be highly visible.
On one project, we reinforced some existing posts that were not adequately anchored to the ground by installing new ones next to them, then tying the post pairs together with plywood to create a series of little shear walls (Figure 5). Unfortunately, the existing posts were neither plumb nor aligned with each other, and needed to be furred out with tapered rippings before we could install the plywood. We set up a pair of string lines, one at the bottom of the posts and one at the top, measured the distance from each post to the string lines, and used the track saw to quickly cut 24 perfect furring strips. Sure, this could have been done with a circular saw or even a jobsite table saw, but not as quickly or accurately.
Once the posts were furred out, we wrapped them with 5/8-inch T1-11 plywood sheathing. Since the columns were of similar widths, we stacked up the plywood sheets and cut multiple pieces at the same time. This would have been a difficult maneuver with a circular saw, since it's not that easy to rip a 4-foot-wide sheet of plywood in half without getting on top of the sheet to see the line. We just set the track guides on our end points and easily operated the saw from the side of the stack of sheathing, rather than on top.
Column Wraps
We often wrap pressure-treated posts with PVC products, especially when building pergolas and other deck structures. In our area, it's much cheaper to purchase PVC trim in large sheets than in individual pieces, and since treated post dimensions vary quite a bit, we can rip to the actual size we need instead of being limited to standard dimensional lumber sizes. Occasionally, we rip the PVC column trim with 45-degree miters rather than with square edges, a task that takes no additional set-up time when using a track saw (Figure 6).
Another benefit of the track saw is that it allows us to minimize sawdust on the jobsite, which is especially useful when cutting PVC or composite trim and decking (Figure 7). All the track saws we own have a dust port that accepts a standard-sized vacuum hose, a feature that I'm not sure is shared with standard circular saws.
Our track saws don't do anything that we can't do with other saws, but they allow us to do things better, faster, and cleaner, so our projects take less work and are more accurate and professional looking. ?

Getting concrete and dirt out of basement.
I am finishing my basement. In so doing in am installing interior weeping tile. (would do exterior but because of landscaping, neighbours, etc. can't)
Need to get the concrete I jack-hammered and dirt out. about a cubic yard of concrete (only doing half so another later) and a cubic yard of dirt (same more later).
Can't rent conveyor here.
Looking at a couple of ideas.
1. build rails with 2x6's then have a wheeled cart and pullies, with a winch. Kinda like in the mines. This would dump rightinto the trailer.
2. build a trough (need one to get gravel in basement anyway.). elevate it inside basement so it is level or slightly up. Then use tubs (I have 8) and rope to slide them out. Would have to go up short stepladder to get tubs into through.
Any other ideas or thoughts?
Thanks for any help.
I would think you could get 2 yards out and 1 yard inside with 12 hours of work. I would use 3 labors, $50 each, a few bottles of water, and someone to keep them motivated.
Are you able to cut the concert? It will be easier to remove if it is 25 pound chunks than odd sizes that is hard to shovel and do not fit in a bucket.
When I replaced the cast iron pipes under my house I cut the concrete and set it about 3' over. I put the dirt between the concrete chunks and the cut out. Put the old cast iron pipes in 4' chunks on the dirt piles. When we brought in the bagged concrete we lined it up about 3' on the other side of the cut out. The gravel was dumped between the bagged concrete and the cut out.
I took 4 people 3.5 hours to get everything moved. 2 day labors, my brother, and my self. We worked for 25 minutes then took a 5 minute rest and switch jobs. 2 people carry stuff up and down steps and 2 people to load buckets.
Done what you're going to do, a few times.
Easiest way?
Cut the floor - rent the largest electric saw, with a diamond blade -
rent an electric jack-hammer -
(think twice about using a gas powered saw!! -carbon monoxide!!)
bust out the concrete -
lots of 5-gal. buckets to take out the concrete/dirt -
As far as adding gravel -
we build a small chute and run it through a window -
dump the gravel down the chute into a wheel-barrow -
I don't think you should use any dirt for back-fill!
As far as concrete? -
we use bag-mix.
It's "fun" job!! :)
(Ha, ha, ha!) :)
I don't know what "code" is -where you're at -
we can use PVC, here.
Good luck!
Concrete already busted up. Had to use jack-hammer on it all, no electric saw just gas one and I have used them before and did not want it in my basement.
Cutting into nice squares would have been great, but could not.
Will use chute to get gravel down.
Getting the concrete and dirt out is the thing. Hard to find helpers for day. And if I do they would be $120-150 each for the day.
Figured I may have to do it myself. So if I need a chute anyway why not put it in with the end in the basement on high workhorses, and an intermediate one, then fill about 6 tubs, line them up in the chute, go outside and pull them out and dump into trailer. Figured may be easier then lugging 5 gal pails up the stairs.
Got any homeless shelters in your area?
Home Depot?
I had a guy with a saw ti cut/score the slab to minimize the amount of concrete and soil to remove. It went into 5 gallon buckets(half full) that my 12 year old son and friends kugged out when they were available. When the returned the buckets, they were half full with a rock/coarse sand mix and dumped on the floor.
It took 4 week ends for me to dig out the chunks, wet soil, mix the bags of concrete as I worked around the basement starting from the sump.
If you are in a hurry, renting equipment and using some great new tools is fun and faster.
No home depot. Closest city is 2.5 hours away!
Now would be a good time to install that egress window you know you always wanted down there...........:whistling2:
Even enlarging one of the existing basement windows one course lower would help immensely. You may also want to look into renting a small conveyor, if they're available in your area. Anyway you look at this though, it's going to be far more efficient & easier if you had a second person to help........
Have enlarged one widow and cut two more in already!
Can't rent conveyor.
Yep, need to find helper some way so one can fill tubs, hand them out the window, the other can dump them into the trailer.
3 people would be great. 1 fills tubs, one carries them to window, 1 dumps in trailer.
call you local box stores. to see if they have day laborers that hang out there early mornings, looking for work.
i tried, didn't find any. but maybe i got there late at 8am.

You might be able to post an add on a local college's bulletin board.
Winter break is coming up and just about everyone could use a little extra cash this time of year.

Greenville Mobil gas station robbed
GREENVILLE — The Mobil gas station's EZ Mart convenience store in Greenville was broken into and robbed late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
According to lead clerk Mary Mangus, the break-in at 115 E. Washington St. (M-57) occurred between 11 p.m. Tuesday and 4 a.m. Wednesday, when the store was closed.
Someone threw a brick through the store's window, entered through the window and stole up to 50 packages of cigarettes.
"They took a good portion of our cigarettes," Mangus said of the thieves.
The Greenville Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident. Interim Director Gary Valentine said a complete police report is not yet available.
Mangus said a boot print was left on a piece of glass. She said police took the store's surveillance video.
"If they're gonna rob us, I'm glad they didn't use a gun," Mangus said.
The Handy Market in Greenville was broken into in a similar fashion last week. Thieves smashed the front glass door and stole energy pills and synthetic marijuana.

Exofol MLA
Ph: 616/554-2007
Offered in a variety of embossed surface finishes that add a rich look and provide excellent scratch resistance, Exofol MLA film can be laminated to wood building products for either interior or exterior applications, including door jambs, windows components and jamb extensions. From American Renolit Corp., the fillm helps provide excellent durability that benefits a product through its full life–from processing and transportation to installation, the supplier states. The heft of the film also masks joints and other imperfections in a substrate, allowing manufacturers to reduce cost by using MDF or finger-jointed wood instead of solid wood. Available in a number of shades of white, including custom matches, the film can be painted on new products or later on, providing a benefit to the homeowner who may want to change the color of their door, and the door jamb to match. Extensive outdoor and accelerated testing demonstrates that MLA is a better alternative than primed and painted wood parts as there is never a need to maintain or repaint, and the film helps extend substrate life by sealing the product and preventing moisture penetration, the company reports. After the film is applied, parts can be machined the same way as raw wood for hardware or other processing.

Three Productivity Tips to Optimise your Time
Procrastination is the self-employed mum's worst enemy. It takes over and your productivity goes through the floor. You need to stay on track and make sure you're working in a productive way for both your clients and your own benefit. Below are three useful tips that can really make a difference to your success working from home.
1. Be Accountable
Accountability is something that many self-employed mums end up forgoing completely and then the procrastination sets in. You need to find a way of being accountable, it could be through a network group or it could be somebody who works in a similar industry who you check in with regularly. In a regular workplace it's likely colleagues or managers will review your progress or at least provide some moral support, this can be harder to come by when working from home. Building a small network of like-minded work at home mums and self-employed professionals will really help in the long run.
Deadlines also play a key role in your accountability. If you have clients who are relaxed and easy-going and therefore don't set deadlines, you'll become relaxed too. Be strict with yourself and you'll soon realise you can get a lot more done in a lot less time.
2. Make your Breaks Count
Nobody can stay focused successfully for hours on end. Working from home can make starting at 8 am and ploughing through until 5 pm without a break attractive as you may be able to squeeze in a short day later in the week. This is never a good idea. You need to add breaks into your working day. If there's the offer of lunch out or you fancy a walk around the local park with the kids – take the opportunity.
Think about the time you spend procrastinating or checking Twitter and Facebook whilst you're 'working' and think about how that time could have been employed as a proper break instead. Do something with your breaks that takes you out of the home and away from the office. Your work will be better for it.
3. Compartmentalise with Task Lists
Lists are key to productivity. You need to have a number of lists on the go at any one time which may sound like an organisational nightmare but it isn't. As a minimum you'll need a list of your long term goals which could be anything from a weekly deadline list to projects you need to have boxed off by the end of the month. The second list you should consider essential is the daily task list. Before you even check your emails in the morning you should set some achievable daily tasks. The most realistic the better as your productivity will dwindle if you see an endless, unachievable series of tasks.
Work from home jobs are there to give you the opportunity to generate a tangible income whilst also being able to spend time with your family and children. If you pack out your diary with so much work you can't spend 5 minutes away from your computer then you've missed the point. These tips will help you manage your time more effectively and ensure work time and down time are fully separate.

VCT tile in residential kitchen
I have been doing extensive research on using VCT in the home and hoping I can get some solid opinions here. I am going for a retro look (black and white). I have read the manufacturers recommendations on how to maintain VCT, but it is only aimed at commercial institutions. I have read posts in various locations about maintenance ranging from "do nothing and live with the matte finish" to "put 12 coats of sealer only and its good for 10 years".
I would like to hear from people that have installed it in their homes and have lived with it for a few years. What did you do and how has it been?
Vinyl composition tiles are not what I would consider desirable for a residential kitchen. Basement floor fine, not for the kitchen, too cheap and not the easiest to maintain. But solid vinyl tiles would be much better. You should be able to find solid colors. I'd be searching for sheet vinyl in a checkerboard pattern first.
WIth sheet vinyl there will be no gaps to open up, no way for water to get to the subflooring.
I did something similar. Was a cheap flipper I was working on.
I was at restore one day searching for something .... is a non profit retail store for habitat for humanity.
I also know that when a walmart store is built, they donate the extra materials at the end of the job.
So when I walked into restore and seen enough vct to do 10 houses, I knew it was from walmart donation. .... And it was a cheap price!
I figured if it would handle the commercial traffic of a big super store, would be fine in a cheap house.
My only 2 cents is, is the only time I used it, I also went with a checker board pattern since was more then two colours available. I spent the extra few dollars for a commercial glue and not the homeowner crap available at big box stores.
5 years later, The young couple that own it now, I still go over and help them when things break, .... still looks like the day I installed it. I think it may last forever.
But is commercial looking and not what I would really want in my home.
That's the point, it's kinda ugly for residential. Commercial VCT is 1/8" and color/pattern goes all the way through. It's not gonna wear out in your home. Lasting a long time does not make it good. Being a composition, it's very porous and not easy to maintain. Solid vinyl is much better, it's more comparable to sheet vinyl. But VCT can work and it's real cheap.
In commercial use the tiles are buffed and or waxed with vinyl dressing and buffed, this happens on a regular basis. often every night.
I know its a very specific look. If you google search images, you can see many retro homes being done in this style. Its not for everyone, I can appreciate that, but it is the look I am going for. Just hoping to see if there is someone with some insight on the maintanance end of it after living with it for a few years.
Thanks for the tip on the commercial adhesive and Restore (we have those here too, in Alberta). I have heard to stay away from all the box store products and make sure you get the cleaning supplies from a janitorial supply.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Not cheap
Remember that visiting the Bahamas is not cheap anymore. Quoting from the www.waterwaynet.org site:
Latest News On Bahamian Cruising Fees (12/09/2003) - According to Noonsite.com, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism recently released the following information:
"The Bahamas has given due consideration to the concerns of the boating community and has decided, as an interim measure, that, with effect from December 1, 2003, the current Fees of $150 for boats up to 35 feet in length and $300 for boats over 35 feet, shall be valid for two entries during any 90 day period"
"In the long-term, The Bahamas Government is considering an annual fee structure and will continue the dialogue with both the domestic and international boating community to determine how such a policy can best be implemented"
According to the Noonsight article, the intent is to allow an additional entry into the Bahamas at no charge as long as it occurs within 90 days of the original issue of the Cruising Permit.
question about bimini island...
A few years ago, the Bahamian customs or port of entry was at Cat Cay, just South of Bimini. Maybe that situation has changed since I was there. And there was no need for a passport, some reciprocity with USA. Maybe that has changed too. Technically, I believe you are supposed to check in with US customs upon your return to USA. I didn''t but that was my decision, choice. There is a fairly strong tidal current running North-South East of the docks at Bimini. I found the best anchorage to be off the East shore of Gun Cay, between Cat Cay and Bimini.....Hope this helps
question about bimini island...
No no no... you will get your passport stamped in the bahamas...if you ever get your passport checked after returning to the united states they will obviously see that you never re-entered the u.s legally.. you will be lucky if you only get deported.. you need to check into customs and immigration on the u.s side.. as far as customs is concerned your boat is a foreign yacht.. much paper for you to fill out.. immigration will be not problem
question about bimini island...
Your best bet is to contact U.S. Customs & Immigration. It''s likely that if you attempt to return to the U.S. without heading directly to a customs dock, they will find out and deport you shortly thereafter. This could involve confiscating the boat, too. Or they may find out after a while (a month? a year? that you left the US and re-entered illegally, and deport you then, after putting you in jail for a while. Better to get the correct info in writing from them directly. Well-meaning people on a website can be very wrong. You don''t want to find that out the hard way.
question about bimini island...
so when I get there, I probably wont dock, instead I will anchor somewhere and use the dinghy to get ashore, is that allowed there? or must I dock? also there is a customs checkpoint in bimini, but when I leave the island, there is no checkpoint for US correct? I just got back on my dinghy, go to my sail, and sail off back home to my slip?
just wanted to clear it before I left...
i''m asking because I''m not a us citizen (turkish) and i''m here on a student visa... if I have to enter through customs I have to fill out buncha paperwork, and have the school sign a paper and everything... but I dont think there is a US customs thing in bimini, especially if I go into the island with a dinghy lol

More FACTS on "Playing standards, Microsoft way"!
AntonySatyadas 1100009CNT Tags:  consortiuminfo eweek xml standards open 2007 odf word sourceforge 3,377 Views
Check out this article in eWeek: Playing the Standards Game the Microsoft Way (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1985410,00.asp) by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols July 6, 2006!
"The Redmond crew has an entirely different agenda for "supporting" the OpenDocument Format with its own Open XML Translator.
It's not even news, actually, according to Andrew Updegrove, a partner with Boston law firm Gesmer Updegrove, and the editor of http://www.ConsortiumInfo.org . "Microsoft's announcement on plug-ins is being treated in the press as 'new news,'" Updegrove said. "Ray Ozzie actually let slip mention of the project last October, and an open-source converter project was started by the same French company last September 26." ....
There are two key phrases here. The first is "third-party." Jason Matusow, Microsoft's director of standards affairs, came right out and said Microsoft was not contributing code or providing architectural guidance for Open XML Translator. The OpenDocument Foundation says it will provide a plug-in that will allow Office users to open, render and save to ODF files. ....
Why, oh why, do I think that Translator's technical support line will often be telling users that the fault for a botched document transfer lies at ODF's door? And somehow I think Microsoft's technical support's usual suggested "fix" will be to just use Microsoft's own Open XML instead. "It's so much better," they'll say to annoyed users.
What could Microsoft do if it were really interested in supporting open standards? Easy: Bake ODF import and export support into Office 2007. This? This Translator support is just another trap to keep users locked into Microsoft Office. "

1956 Ford pickup
Can anyone tell me what the cheapest way to lower a 1956 ford pickup front and back. Thank you!
The cheapest way is to put the axles on top of the leaf springs. front and rear. And the front mounts for the rear leafs can be moved up for more drop.
You won't have a lot of suspension travel this way, unless you notch the frame, front and rear.
low and cheap
Don't be a cheap john, save your money until you can do it right.
There is no hurry, the 56 is the best looking of all the F100s and everybody likes 'em no matter how they sit!
Don't do something that will get your truck featured in "poor worknanship" posting.
How much do you plan on dropping it?
If you stick with the I beam axle in front the best way would be to get a dropped axle. You could also have the eyes reversed on the springs to get a bit of drop.
On the rear if you want to go really low you would have to put the axle on top of the spring. Then you would need to C-notch the frame for clearance.
I've seen a few front axles put on top of the spring. It isn't hard to do but you could end up with the springs too low to the ground with low profile tires.
Low profile tires like 205-60-15 on the front and 245-60-15 on the back will bring it down a bit and get the stance right.
low f100
I saw a low f100 in Kamloops B.C. they had mounted the body on an s10 frame with dropped spindles. They said that all the body mounts lined up except for two. Truck looked like it could mow the lawn.
Another CHEAP way is torch the springs until they sag till the axles set on the snubbers.
Another CHEAP was is get four of those real small spares from the pick-it-yourself yard. (I have seen Ricers do this one.)
On a serious note: ALL the posters suggestions above are good. You just need to decide how deep your pockets can let that 56 drop.
I used reversed eye springs on the front and lowering shackles on the back, 215-60 series tires on the front and 295-50 series tires on the back. The truck still rode just fine and I got about 6" drop in the front and 3 inch out back. Don't torch the springs or remove leaves, it only compromises the ride and may affect the safety.

Do You Have Good Brakes?
It's Time to Have Your Brake Lines and Fittings Checked - Grizzly Auto and Tire
It's very important to your vehicle's braking system that you maintain your vehicle's brake lines and fittings. This is especially important for those who live in an area that has winter seasons. It's especially important for cold winter areas, because the salt and moisture from the winter roads can cause serious erosion in your vehicle's brake lines and fittings. So, checking your brake lines and fittings will help prevent any serious issues with your braking system in the future.
Brakes are the most important feature on a vehicle. There are several different key elements of the braking system that keep it functioning correctly. These parts include the rotors, calipers, brake pads, brake fluid, and the brake lines and fittings. The brake lines and fittings are what connect the brake parts to hydraulic brake lines that attach to th ...[more]

Sagging sheetrock in garage cieling, need to seal it to insulate.
Guys, I have a garage that is not finished. It was like that when I moved into the house. I am adding heat and insulating the walls/ceiling. The issue here is that due to dampness (I assume) the drywall is sagging a bit at the seams. This leaves gaps, and if I attempt to blow in insulation I will continually have that crap raining down on me.
I am function over form in the garage for sure, its my workspace. I don't want to mud and tape, and with the sagging it would look like crap.
So this begs the question.. how do I deal with the gaps? I have considered sealing all the seams from the top with expanding foam, laying down a plastic barrier. Or using strips of plastic and a staple gun to cover the holes.
My thought is a complete plastic barrier would just make the whole problem with the moisture worse. I used a very high end concrete sealer on the walls and the floor. Two walls are concrete, and underground. The garage doesn't feel all that damp and I leave a small window open on the garage all year when weather permits (IE above 40 degrees). The soffit in the attic is aluminum and vented all the way around the perimeter of garage. I was also going to install a gable vent (The front of the garage is pretty plain looking anyway).
Anyone have any nuggets of wisdom?
Thanks! - Evan
I am tall, and my attic over the garage is not. So the less time up there the better!
You probably have sheetrock that is too thin for the span between joists. Any additional load will make it worse and no amount of foam will improve the situation. Insulation will make it worse.
Just rip out the sheetrock and put in thicker sheet rock for the span.
If all you care about is form and function, you will have to do something to make it work, especially if you try to insulate.
You very well may be right about that... the drywall that is. Definitely not what I wanted to hear. If thats the case, that project will wait until spring.
I thought it was a moisture problem, I guess I would rather have it be improper drywall. I think its 1/2" and the spaces are pretty darn wide.
EDIT: well I do have to drywall the walls, so maybe I can salvage some of the stuff off the ceiling. who knows..
5/8" drywall isn't expensive. Do it right...Remove the ruined rock and hang the appropriate thickness up there. Trash the sagging old stuff.
you will spend more time trying to reuse it as buy new,,,UNLESS the screws(IF nailed,,,no way))) are in FULL open view and you have plenty of help. Insulate the walls IF you live in the frigid north OR want to keep it cooler in summer time!!
I suppose I didn't realize how cheap drywall was. Couple hundo to do the attic. Of course that opens the can of worms including insulation etc..
I think I am gonna let that sleeping dog lye until spring when it warms up. I do plan on insulating the entire garage including walls. For that matter, I really need an entry door.
See what I mean? LOL
Thanks guys, your right.
Don't just use thicker drywall. Put up "Z" channel as furring strips, 16" O.C. and then use the 5/8.

Well, boom is right! That's something more substantial than .223 and is most admirable.
It'd be fun to spend an afternoon with a SOCOM. I have a standard M1A. I'll bet the SOCOM is a "different breed of cat" to shoot. It's got it were it counts down range for sure though.

Reclaiming our Queendom...
We started because we were tired of the unattractive and ineffective options we had for wrapping our hair at night. We felt we deserved options that actually stay on while we sleep and allow us to maintain our style and our beauty! - So we created Jewels!
We soon realized many women feel the same way we do! - Whether we wrap our head to protect our hair from breakage, to adorn our crowns following hair loss, or just to mask a bad hair day, we still can look fabulous!
The My Crowning Jewel Woman
The woman is confident and intelligent. She stands for excellence in everything she does. She knows who she is, knows what she wants, and knows how to get it. Her style is distinct. Her purpose is defined. When she steps in the room, she is noticed because My Crowning Jewel women "show up." Whether in action or asleep, the My Crowning Jewel woman never relinquishes her crown, so she wears a Jewel!
