Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
2 Attachment(s)
Installed 6030cs in the front over the long weekend along with a RBZ and the auto climate control unit. Replaced the rears with Infinity Reference 6032si (rears do not include mounting hardware just brackets).
Purchased off Amazon
Amazon.com: Infinity Reference 6030cs 6.5-Inch 270-Watt Two-Way Component System: Car Electronics
Amazon.com: Infinity Reference 6032si 6.5-Inch, Shallow Mount High Performance 180-Watt Two-Way Loudspeaker (Pair): Car Electronics
$142 out of pocket for both fronts and rears
Reference 6030cs - Infinity
Bought the shallow mount thinking the standard 6032 two way tweeter would hit the door panel grill. After installing realize the standard 6032's would fit - they have directional tweets vs fixed on the shallow mounts.
These are a bit bright BUT a great inexpensive upgrade to the stock six speaker set up which is extremely muddy. Did not install the included crossovers - using the stock systems' what n wherever those are :confused:
Acoustical stuff sounds pretty sweet e.g. LedZep BBC sessions - Audioslave / Foo Fighters / Pink Floyd pretty clean as well. Harder stuff ala 80's 90's Crue / VanHalen seem a little harsh - could be the recordings. Bass isnt too bad either for a non sub set up.
Attached pics of the tweeters as they are the only noticeable visual difference (directional). Had to use a dremmel to mod the stock tweeter openings just a tad for the Infinity tweeter (screw in) mounting cups. Happy with the understated factory look.
For those looking for quick cheap upgrade these are a real good choice :thumbsup:
Re: Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
Very nice!!
Those speakers would absolutely shine if they had an amp powering them. The stock 6 speaker system has no amp.
I installed an amp under the driver's seat. Ran new wiring to the 4 doors. Installed an aftermarket headunit and upgrade the speakers. Yup I went all out lol.
Anyway, I highly recommend an amp to get the most out of those speakers.
Re: Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
Actually, the RBZ is powering them just fine. Great clarity and more than enough output for my tastes.
Re: Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
I am looking at doing the same either using these or the Kappa series with the matching 3.5" for the centre dash speaker. Being a little bright is a bit of a concern (as I don't want to fiddle with anything else) although I am used to my (bright) Focal K2P's in my other car.
Question is, would the tweets fit behind the existing grill with the right fitting attachment or using whatever the existing tweets have?
Re: Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
First post - just bought a 2014 Laredo E with the 8.4A and base 6 speaker system.
Can anyone confirm the Infinitis fit in the 2014 models? How do these compare to the Hybrid speakers that I've seen are pretty popular as well?
Might do the same setup for now, and add a 5-channel amp + subwoofer down the road. Would probably need the bit ten / 3sixty to sit in between the 8.4A head unit and amp.
Re: Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
These Infinity's will not fit behind the stock tweeter grills. It really isn't that hard to fit these in and it looks 10x better than the stock set up. Plus you can point the tweeters for a better soundstage. It is EZ! Just take it real slow with the dremmel, trim fit, trim fit - done. To be honest the stock openings look like they were made for screw in aftermarket housings.
Re: Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
1. Installing 6.5 components up front and 6x9s in the rear. No amp/sub, driving all from 8.4 Uconnect radio (I have the 6 speaker setup in a 2014 Laredo E).
2. Going all out - 5-channel amp, 6.5 components front, 6.5 two-way rear, and a 10" sub on the rear. A bit intimidated by taking the doors and radio apart to install the line summing processor, running the cables, tapping into power supply, etc.
Re: Infinity Reference 6030cs Installed in E
I just bought some of these to make my install easier/quicker.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
- In the Panthers' 30th all-time postseason appearance, the University of Pittsburgh football team (7-6) defeated Bowing Green (10-4) by the score of 30-27 in a wild Little Caesars Pizza Bowl on Thursday evening at Ford Field in Detroit.
- Chris Blewitt broke the game's third tie with a 39-yard field goal with 1:17 remaining to put the Panthers up 30-27. On the ensuing Falcon's possession, college football's best defensive player Aaron Donald came up with an 11 yard sack on second down and Tyrone Ezell followed that up with another sack on third down. Bowling Green was unable to convert a 4th-and-40 and Pitt won its first bowl game since 2010.
- Pitt freshman running back James Conner was named the game's MVP for breaking Tony Dorsett's bowl rushing record. Conner carried the ball 26 times for 229 yards and had one touchdown. He broke Dorsett's record of 202 yards of which he set in the 1977 Sugar Bowl, the year Pitt won the National Championship. The 229 yards was a career-high for Conner, as was his 45 yard run in the beginning of the third quarter. Conner finished his freshman campaign with 799 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, both are team-highs.
- Freshman Tyler Boyd also had a monster game, finishing with eight catches for 173 yards. With his second reception of the game (a catch for 19 yards), he broke Larry Fitzgerald's freshman receiving yard record of 1,005 yards which Fitzgerald set in 2002. Boyd's stat line tonight gives him 85 catches for 1,174 yards and seven touchdowns during his standout freshman year. Boyd finished his amazing first season at Pitt setting freshmen records for receptions (85), receiving yards (1,174) and 100-yard games (5). The 173 yards tonight also broke Pitt's bowl receiving yards record of 163 yards set by Gordon Jones during the 1977 Gator Bowl.
- Boyd also returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown with 6:43 to go in the second quarter, putting Pitt up 17-3. It was the first time Pitt has returned a punt for a touchdown since Darrelle Revis went 73 yards for a score against West Virginia on November 16, 2006.
- Tom Savage finished the game going 8-for-13 with 124 yards, bringing his season total to 2,958 passing yards, which ranks him fifth all-time in a single-season by a Pitt quarterback. However, Savage suffered a rib injury late in the second quarter and did not return.
- Redshirt freshman Chad Voytik played the entire second half and finished the game 5-for-9 for 108 yards and two carries for 24 yards and a touchdown. He scored on a five yard TD run with 9:31 remaining in the fourth quarter which capped off a six play, 98 yard drive by the Panthers. The 98-yard drive was the Panthers longest of the season and it was highlighted by a 62-yard pass and catch from Voytik to Boyd. Voytik's five yard run was his first career touchdown.
- Ray Vinopal had a game-high 11 tackles, including one sack. Nicholas Grigsby had 2.5 TFLs and 1.5 sacks. As a unit, the Panthers tallied 12 TFLs for 71 yards and had seven sacks; one off the most in the history of the Pizza Bowl. Donald had five total tackles, two TFLs and one sack, bringing his 13-game season total to 59 total tackles (43 solo), 28.5 TFLs and 11 sacks.
Pitt started three true freshmen on defense against the Falcons. Defensive end Shakir Soto and Safety Terrish Webb each earned their first career start, while cornerback Titus Howard made his second career start (his first was against Old Dominion). The Panthers have now had eight true freshmen make at least one start this year on offense or defense.

Well, I did it. Only 5 yrs in the making mom says. Hey, I know I'm not perfect but I'm as close as it comes, right? And this will prove it even more so.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I wouldn't lay down for them but the floor was cold and my arthritis was acting up. Cut me some slack, I'm 11 for pete's sake!
Mom says now I should be able to do some therapy work, which she wanted to do with me when we lived in Ca, but it just didn't work out. Hopefully here mom will have more time.
Gunther's supposed to take his test on Sun. I bet I get a higher score than him. After all, how can you beat a perfect score?
Mom is sad. This is a late entry, but last Fri mom had to put to sleep one of her pet rats, Spud (Tater). He had cancer and had lost the use of both rear legs and at that point mom said it was time.
I could really care less. Heck, I could have put him out of his misery, he would have made a good snack (shhhhhh.......don't tell mom).
I think Posey is missing him though. She used to play "hide and seek" with him. They would poke each other thru the cage bars. Sunny doesn't do that with her.
Mom brought his body home so we could all smell him and understand. Sunny, his brother, mom thinks he already knew Tater was dying so he didn't really react to his body. Gunther, Nigel and Posey though were very interested in him. I say, if you've seen one dead body, you've seen them all. :P
Mom will bury him in the spring, along with his brother, as Sunny also has cancer and will probably be needing to be put to sleep in another few months as well.
Thought I should say what a nice holiday season it has been here. I love Minnesota so. I wish I could stay here but we are moving to Illinois. Yup, we're still not there yet after 1.5 yrs.
Mom and dad did finally find a house and buy it in Oct. Took them a long time to find a town that would allow 4 doggies to live there, be liveable (you should have seen some of the houses) and still be an okay commute to work for dad. Which probably doesn't matter now b/c dad lost his job last month.
We have several new additions to the family since I last posted. Mom got a job working at Petsmart in Aug '05. It was only supposed to be temporary b/c we were supposed to be moving to Illinois shortly but that didn't happen. It was hard for mom to adjust b/c she doesn't like selling animals to people.............especially since most people are stupid and shouldn't own animals to begin with. Mom did her best to steer them in the right direction and give them as much info as she could on whatever they were purchasing. Most of the time they didn't want to listen. *sigh* poor mom.
Anyway, back to the new additions. One guy purchased a female rat from the store last Dec. He then returned it in Jan with a litter of 8 pups saying it had gotten pregnant at the store. Impossible b/c they only sell females there, and that particular rat had been there quite some time (and apparently the guy had recently purchased a male rat). So 8 babies had to find good homes. When brought to the store, they were only the size of jelly beans. As they matured and got fur, mom saw that 3 of them were different than the ordinary colors of a rex rat (breed of rat). 2 males and 1 female. Mom wanted the one male and female but after speaking with her vet and finding out that it would cost $80 for a neuter, she decided to go with the 2 males. One blonde one named Sundance (Sunny) and a black tuxedo named Spud (Tater). They lived in a 20 gallon long aquariumm for awhile, but mom got them a brand new giant ferret cage for Christmas so we may be getting more rat brothers after the move.
In the spring, a shipment of reptiles came in. Mom loves reptiles, so she always takes special care of them. One little chinese water dragon though didnt do so well. He didn't eat much, was lethargic, started getting ulcers and later started open mouthed breathing. Mom finally convinced them to let her adopt him this Oct. Mom immediately took him to her vet in Sioux Falls (Dr. Dayton Williams, you rock!) and he was diagnosed with a bacterial infection causing respiratory distress as well as having coccidia. First we treated him for the bacterial infection. After we were done with that he went back for a recheck and we treated him for the coccidia. He also has calcium deficiency which we may have to treat later. He just started perking up last week and is now eating fairly regularly. He will probably be dwarfed and a bit sickly his whole life but he appears much happier now. We named him Francis (we're still not sure if he's a boy or girl, although mom suspects a male). He is enjoying his new Christmas present of a 20 long aquarium (not the same one the rats were in, that was moms' sisters and she wanted it back) with a brand new waterfall fountain and adjustable temp heat lamp.
Earlier this month we adopted 2 red factor canaries from a fellow employee who needed to rehome them. They are with dad right now, along with Pasta (our cockatiel). Mom figures birds are fairly easy to care for so dad can handle them. She named them Edgar and Elliot.
Last Oct, mom also set up a small 5 gallon aquarium in her bedroom. She really got into fish after working at Petsmart and has learned alot. Right now, it is full of live plants, has 1 betta (Simon II........first Simon got bloat and died after 10 months), 1 albino cory catfish (Albert........resembles Einstein with his whiskers), 1 rubber lipped plecostomus, 1 japanese algae eating shrimp, 2 glowlight tetras, 1 cardinal tetra, and 1 fancy guppy. In the past there was a sunburst wag platy, 2 other glowlights, 2 other cardinals, and numerous otocinclus (mom loves them but they just didn't fare well) and when the guppy passes mom will get more cardinals. The guppy currently picks onthe one there is.
Next summer we are hoping to add a russian or some other kind of tortoise. There is also a sick lizard at work right now and mom left her email with them in case they want to adopt him out. He ha a special place in her heart as well. He came in the same shipment as Francis. She also for sure wants to add one more cockatiel and possibly some finches or a small parrot............or both.........lol.
Over the next few weeks, mom will be moving our stuff from here out to Oswego where our new house is. Hopefully it won't take more than 2 or 3 more trips. Still need to make another trip to Sioux Falls so Francis can have a recheck, I can get my annual blood workup and Nigel can have his anal glands checked.
Check out Gunther, Nigels and Posey's page for how our holidays went.

About the Festival
The very first Maryland Wine Festival was held in 1984 at the Shriver Homestead in Union Mills with eight (8) wineries and approximately 4,500 to 5,000 visitors in attendance. It was a one-day festival that quickly outgrew the property. Thus, The Maryland Wine Festival® was moved to the Carroll County Farm Museum, and it became a two-day affair. Through those 29 years, visitor population has grown to over 20,000 yearly with a grand total to date of well over 832,700 visitors. 1984 was also the year that the Association of Maryland Wineries was organized. From the initial year of 1984 to 1985, this festival went from eight wineries to ten wineries. 1988 saw 13 wineries in attendance. Each year thereafter one or more wineries came on board. In 2008, winery attendance jumped to 23 wineries. Then in 2009, 32 wineries attended The Maryland Wine Festival®. Now, the festival Festival consistently hosts wines from over 30 Maryland Wineries Association's member wineries.
Carroll County Farm Museum
The Carroll County Farm Museum, located in Westminster, Maryland, provides the public with the opportunity to experience mid-nineteenth century rural life. The Carroll County Farm Museum, the first of its kind in the State of Maryland, opened its doors to the public for the first time on August 13, 1966. The Museum grounds include original farm structures, such as the Farmhouse and a bank barn, built in 1852-53. Other buildings include a 1700s Log Barn, Smokehouse, Broom Shop, Saddlery, Springhouse, Living History Center, Wagon Shed, General Store exhibit, Firehouse, and a One-room Schoolhouse. Period artifacts and antiques complete the rural experience for visitors.

Chen, Heuser, Knorr and Waresmith Earn Weekly Swimming & Diving Awards
Related Links
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- Binghamton University's Jason Chen (Livingston, N.J./Livingston) and Stony Brook University's Darcy Heuser (Centerville, Ohio) garnered this week's America East male and female Swimmer of the Week accolades, while Boston University's Tanner Knorr (San Diego, Calif./Valhalla) and Tess Waresmith (Dover, Mass./Dover Sherborn) earned recognition as the male and female Divers of the Week.
Chen, a sophomore, earned multiple individual victories in back-to-back meets this weekend, facing St. Bonaventure on Saturday and Drexel on Sunday. On Saturday, Chen touched first in the 200 (1:45.44) and 100 free (47.48), following it up with wins in the 100 back (53.35), the 200 back (1:55.85) and the 100 fly (1:51.8) on Sunday. The Bearcats would go on to win both meets.
Heuser, who has now earned Swimmer of the Week honors twice this season, was the difference maker as the Seawolves topped Lafayette this weekend. The freshman earned individual victories in the 1,650 (17:59.49), 500 (5:14.24) and 200-yard (1:57.05) freestyles while swimming a leg of the winning 200-yard freestyle relay team (1:42.16). The points proved valuable in Stony Brooks narrow victory, 160-137.
Knorr, a sophomore for the Terriers, won the 3M diving event twice last week, posting a score of 347.33 against Dartmouth, and 311.18 against Holy Cross. The Terriers would go on to win both meets and remain undefeated in dual-meet action. This is Knorr's first weekly accolade.
Waresmith outdid herself on the diving board this weekend when hosting Dartmouth, breaking the pool and school record on both the 1M and 3M boards with scores of 348.00 and 397.25, respectively. The senior has continued her success from last year as the reigning female Diver of the Year for America East. This is Waresmith's eighth weekly award this season.
Binghamton- The Bearcats took on Drexel and St. Bonaventure this weekend with the women picking up their first win of the year, topping the Dragons, 168-130, and the men also downing Drexel, 161-139. Sophomore Jason Chen earned three individual victories against Drexel on Sunday in the 100 back (53.35), 200 back (1:55.85) and the 100 fly (1:51.84) just one day after his first-place finishes in the 200 free (1:45.44) and the 100 free (47.48) against St. Bonaventure. For the women, sophomore Amanda Ciccone won three events in an important victory against Drexel, posting times of 1:57.94 in the 200 free, 55.03 in the 100 free and 2:13.33 in the 200IM. Ciccone earned first place in the 50 free (25.05) just a day earlier. Against St. Bonaventure, the men came out on top, 129-110, while the women fell, 94-148.
Binghamton's Story
Boston U.- The Terriers were undefeated this weekend, with the women earning victories against New Hampshire (192-107) and Northeastern (202-97) on Saturday, and Dartmouth (166.5-125.5) on Sunday. The men remain undefeated in dual-meet action with a win over the Big Green on Sunday, 159-130. The women's squad earned 12 individual victories in Sundays competition, including a record-breaking performance by junior Bridgette O'Shaughnessy in the 1,000 free (10:13.89). The time shaved over four seconds off the previous mark, and was one of the junior's three individual victories of the weekend. Diving-phenom Tess Waresmith added her name to the Terrier record book, setting the pool and school record for the 1M and 3M diving events, scoring 348.00 and 397.25, respectively. For the men, sophomore Tanner Knorr won the 3M diving event against Dartmouth on Sunday (347.33) and earlier in the week against Holy Cross on Tuesday with a score of 311.18. Freshman Jackson Hill earned an individual victory in each of the squad's competitions last week, posting a time of 54.24 in the 100 backstroke against Holy Cross, and a time of 21.44 in the 50 free.
Maine- The Black Bears swept Providence College on Saturday, topping the men, 179-115, and the women, 168-106. Senior Colleen Miller led the women's squad, winning the 50, 500 and 1000 free events with times of, 25.37, 5:16.82 and 10:37.76, respectively. Classmate Courtney Healy pitched in with a pair of victories in the 200 (2:15.95) and 100 backstroke (2:15.95). Junior Jeremy Bender earned three individual victories of his own to help the men's cause, winning the 500 free (4:59.61), 1000 free (10:09.95) and 200 fly (2:02.10). Freshman teammate Andrew Mackeil won the 100 back and 100 fly with respective times of 58.27 and 53.80.
Maine's Story
UMBC- The Retriever men earned a hard-fought tie against East Carolina, 149-149, while the women fell, 191-103 to the Pirates. Senior Justin Bronson won three individual gold medals, touching first in the 100, 200 and 500 free events and swam a leg of the first-place 400 yard freestyle relay team. Sophomore Brad Reitz sweept the fly events with a 1:51.53 in the 200 and a 50.45 in the 100. Reitz also took the 200 individual medley in a time of 1:54.74.
New Hampshire- The Wildcats dropped two competitions in a tri-meet this weekend against America East rival Boston University, 192-107, and host Northeastern, 171-128. The Wildcats started off strong, winning the 200-yard medley relay by .14 seconds and followed it up with wins in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:06.69) by sophomore Allison Nahin, and the 50-yard freestyle (24.54) by freshman Jessica Little. Amy Perrault, the sophomore who led off the winning relay squad, earned a first place finish in the 100-yard backstroke, touching in 58.53.
New Hampshire's Story
Stony Brook- The Seawolves hosted Lafayette on Saturday afternoon with the women's squad earning an upset over the Leopards, 160-137, and the men falling just short, 138-151. Freshman Darcy Heuser stole the show for the women earning three individual victories and swimming a leg of the winning 200-yard freestyle relay team (1:42.16). The freestyle specialist touched first in the 1,650 (17:59.49), 500 (5:14.24) and 200-yard (1:57.05) events. On the men's side, freshman Ian Francis earned three individual victories in the 100- (1:00.16) and 200-yard (2:12.22) breaststrokes, as well as the 400-yard Individual Medley (4:19.12). Classmate Mark Anderson earned first-place finishes in the 100- and 200-yard backstrokes while swimming a leg of the winning 200-yard freestyle relay team.
Stony Brook's Story
Vermont- The Catamounts traveled to Navy on Saturday afternoon coming up short, 206-94. Sophomore Kate Weaver earned Vermont's only two wins on the day, placing first in the 100 (1:05.17) and 200 (2:19.94) backstroke events. Weaver, who has weekly accolades twice the season, would go on to earn second in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:05.45. While the Catamounts are ranked 19th in the CollegeSwimming.com's latest poll, Navy has yet to lose this season and is ranked 11th.

Are you:
NO! You're fencing!
Fencing is the sport of swordplay. It began thousands of years ago as a way of training soldiers to fight with swords and eventually became a competitive team sport that anyone can participate in. Fencers face off on a 6-foot by 40-foot strip with one of three kinds of swords, and duel each other not for blood or honor, but points. Individual fencers add up their points to get an overall team score, so fencing is a great example of a sport where you compete on your own, but you're working together as a group to win the day's match.
Fencing requires strength, speed, balance, and a very sharp mind. A good strategy is perhaps the most important part of the sport, but fair play and sportsmanship are also necessary. Most colleges and many high schools have fencing teams, and adult competitions are held between clubs all over the country and world.
Fencing Basics:
Cool Fencing Facts:
What Kids Are Saying About Fencing:
"Fencing is not just fighting each other, it's about balance, friendship, and listening to directions!"
--Eileen, 9
"Fencing is cool, because there aren't any balls, nets, or goals. It's just you, your foil, and the other guy."
--Trevor, 12

Kentucky woman ordained as priest in defiance of Roman Catholic Church
By Mary Wisniewski
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (Reuters) - In an emotional ceremony filled with tears and applause, a 70-year-old Kentucky woman was ordained a priest on Saturday as part of a dissident group operating outside of official Roman Catholic Church authority.
Rosemarie Smead is one of about 150 women around the world who have decided not to wait for the Roman Catholic Church to lift its ban on women priests, but to be ordained and start their own congregations.
In an interview before the ceremony, Smead said she is not worried about being excommunicated from the Church - the fate of other women ordained outside of Vatican law.
"It has no sting for me," said Smead, a petite, gray-haired former Carmelite nun with a ready hug for strangers. "It is a Medieval bullying stick the bishops used to keep control over people and to keep the voices of women silent. I am way beyond letting octogenarian men tell us how to live our lives."
The ordination of women as priests, along with the issues of married priests and birth control, represents one of the big divides between U.S. Catholics and the Vatican hierarchy. Seventy percent of U.S. Catholics believe that women should be allowed to be priests, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll earlier this year.
The former pope, Benedict XVI, reaffirmed the Catholic Church's ban on women priests and warned that he would not tolerate disobedience by clerics on fundamental teachings. Male priests have been stripped of their holy orders for participating in ordination ceremonies for women.
In a statement last week, Louisville Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz called the planned ceremony by the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests a "simulated ordination" in opposition to Catholic teaching.
"The simulation of a sacrament carries very serious penal sanctions in Church law, and Catholics should not support or participate in Saturday's event," Kurtz said. Continued...

Most teenage males "of a certain vintage" were hipped to Blondie by the video for the single "Denis" with a slinky Debbie Harry in a red-striped swimsuit and cascades of backlit blonde hair. Understandable. My introduction was via the radio—which meant my focus has always been on the music. I bought the 45rpm record of "Denis." Wore it out and had to buy another copy.
Of all the bands that came out of punk or new wave, for me there has never been one as brilliant as Blondie. New wave in the UK was generally angry and political. American new wave—as epitomized by Blondie—was musical, ingenious, subversive and unforgettable.
What makes a song last more than a generation is its infectious tunefulness. Songs that connect on an emotional level, at a liminal moment of approaching joy. Blondie have a major back catalog of these kind of songs—all of which will last decades longer than their three minutes of play. Perhaps centuries, who knows?
I missed out on their eponymous debut album, but got up to speed with the second album Plastic Letters and then Parallel Lines. With Parallel Lines one would have to go back to The Beatles to find a band that produced an album filled with only quality songs of utter pop perfection. All killer no filler, it played like a greatest hits from the very first spin.
That's not to say Blondie were sweet—their songs were often double-edged and charged with complex meanings. A cursory listen to "One Way Or Another" might make you think it's just some old romantic song rather one about a stalker. Or, how cold is the dreamy "Sunday Girl"? And who else could write such a bittersweet disco song such as "Heart of Glass"?
More after the jump…

Happy Monday! For those of you anxiously awaiting the next issue of I liked most of the features this time, I could see myself using some of the ideas vs. just looking at them and saying, "maybe" or "not" as I did with the last issue. I'll take a moment to highlight my favorites.
Before I get started, I love that they featured two pages of The 100+ Best Websites – I was soooo happy to see home blogs being mentioned, as well as shopping sites like 2Modern. Of course, publishing giants tend to focus on blogs with the largest audiences, but the ones they gave props to deserved it as well (it wasn't just about the numbers). Maybe they'll think of us little guys someday (sigh). I can see blogs like Oh Joy!, Print + Pattern, Happy Mundane (along with many other great blogs), earning a spot in there, too. What blogs DID they mention? Well, I don't want to spoil the surprise, so you'll have to pick up the issue and flip to pages 148-149.
Blueprint highlights (at least for me):
P. 34 They featured a GREAT sewing machine, a new model from Husqvarna that is UNDER $150! If you are new to sewing, BUY THIS MACHINE. Husqvarna is a heavyweight in the world of sewing. Pick up the issue for puchasing details.
P.35 Beyond Diapers. I merely loved the various safety pins, such mundane little objects, but I could really see using some of these for sewing projects, or even art in a shadowbox frame.
P. 36-39 Off With Their Shoes! A very sensitive topic, I'm aware, is that of asking your guests to remove their shoes upon entering your home. Fortunately, my pals immediately step out of their shoes when they visit, they require this when visiting their home, too. I imagine if I were to throw a cocktail party or have strangers over to work on something in my home (like the construction crew that was in here most of this past winter/spring), it would take much effort and tact on my part to ask. This article gave some helpful little tips for socks and slippers, and included templates that you can use to make cute pictures for the wall that ask your guests, nicely, to remove their shoes. I love the photo on P.36, the mustard yellow, chocolate and white entryway is quite striking!
P. 40-45 Plants in Glass Houses. This article was quite helpful and the photos provided unique ideas that I've not seen before. I love how they teach you to use plants in glass containers, creating lush landscapes using succulents and silver sand.
P. 52-53 DIY: From Buttons to Bling. Fantastic simple layout, easy instructions, how to transform buttons into rings. My only question is, where did they get the actual "ring" piece? When you see the issue, please let me know if I missed something here or where I can find the actual ring, I haven't a clue where to purchase something like that. Michael's, perhaps?
Center: Handbook – Buy Better Luggage. Last issue, the insert helped those looking to purchase a sofa. This time around, luggage, packing tips, and additional luggage features that you should look for. I read the entire insert, especially since I'm flying to Germany next month. I plan to apply lots of these suggestions. One suggestion that I wasn't aware of: TSA recongnized locks. They have them at Target, so if you're looking, now you have a resource. They go for around $8 each and come in snappy colors like silver, black, lime, pink, blue and red. Chic and secure!
P. 98-105 Ye Bolde Colonial. This was my favorite article because it's about a 1852 Charleston home (South Carolina, where I grew up), and I just loved the architecture of it, along with the colors used in the decor. It wasn't exactly a style I would use, but it was so welcoming and cozy, and I just loved the owners and how sweet they came across in the article. It wasn't some mid century modern home (again) in CA and it wasn't another Brooklyn/NYC post war apartment or loft. Finally, an actual home in a town that deserves some press. Coastal South Carolina is gorgeous!
P. 116-125: A Tale of Two Pretties. With two home offices on display, the article not only lists resources on where to buy everything you see, but everything is organized in that lovely Martha Stewart way. I love the downtown home office, the second office featured. The yellow, grey and white is very clean and appealing. Cool storage tips and the screen divider project looks fun and functional.
P. 140-147 They'll Drink to That. This was a true education for me because I've not visited a wine store before that offered samples and treats, and I've never thrown a wine tasting party, nor have I ever attended one. I wasn't into wine until 2001 (I'm not a big drinker), so I'm guessing that's the reason. Had I liked it in my early 20's, I may have had the exposure to this swank swirling and sipping experience. Taking the reader on a tour of a wine store in Manhattan's historic South Street Seaport, you can visit with the owners, view the space, pick up how to tips, learn about a proper wine tasting table setting, grab several bruschetta recipes, and they've even included checklists and scorecards! Fun!
P. 156 – Book Review page, spotted a few that I need to pick up, was reminded of one that I've always loved called, "The World of Ornament" by Taschen (amazon seems to have crashed this afternoon, so the link may not work right now). I decided to make it the decor8 book of the week so that you could consider picking a copy up for your coffee table. It features over 5,000 images and patterns from ancient Egypt all the way through to 19th-century Europe in 528 oversized pages. Because they are all copyright free images, you can use a color printer and go crazy – create frames, gift wrap, wallpaper, candle wrappers, you name it. It also comes with a DVD. GREAT BUY.
Of course, not mentioned above, Blueprint articles on shoes, fashion, skin care, natural makeup tips, etc… But honestly, those don't interest me (and I am a total fashion addict). I'm just not into $800 shoes and with all the books on the market (and magazines) that specialize in beauty and fashion, I really don't see the need for these things to be covered in Blueprint, especially since the items they feature aren't SO fresh and amazing that you break your neck to look at them.
I would love to see Blueprint add more home tours, decor suggestions, home organizing help, shop tours, reviews, and even take a movie and rip it apart – show us how to create the same room at home (for instance, the office in The Devil Wears Prada or the apartment in the Break Up) to replace the beauty and fashion bits. But, that's just my opinion.
With all this said, I found a lot of good in the Fall issue, which I've already highlighted above, so with the fashion/beauty bits aside, this is a strong issue. I like it. I give it 3 stars.
Hope you enjoyed the highlights. As soon as it hits newsstands, please let me know your opinions, as well.

Here some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
A "suitable education"(90 Posts)
Have namechanged.
Does anyone know whether having a child taught solely by a TA at home constitutes a "suitable education" under the Education Act for a child out of school?
Usually, LAs provide tuition. Our LA wants to send a TA for the next 3 months while they "assess" DS further. He has a statement and complex needs but can't cope with school.
Apparently LA don't receive any funding for providing home tutors. It comes from school budget. Have you tried asking school to pay for your tutor?
Should be "it talks of"
This has all got so complicated.
LA still not put anything in place.
School still not agreed anything with LA.
DS still without provision.
Threatened judicial review by end of week if not address it so LA will doubtless now try and strong arm school. But we will still be considering question of TA.
Because we weren't concerned with suitability as much of the absence of any provision in the last few weeks, I had forgotten to check out the guidance.
It is here and I think it is very much suggestive of a teacher rather than TA being out in place to provide tuition
It tooks of an education equivalent to what the child would have at school, it talks of teachers and teaching.
This is statutory guidance which means it must be followed unless there is a very good reason not to follow it.
The LA are playing games with the school and us.
Anyone any experience of this?
have responded, hope it helps.
Thanks - have PM'd you!
Race I'm really sorry, I've realised my pm didn't go through. I've resent it.
Re cost of provision, if they name a school purely on any school must be better than an individualised package, rather than why this one can meet needs better, don't forget it's not only them that can argue it's an unnaceptable use of funds.
Claw I don't think it's becoming, it has been standard response in some places for many years. It generally works too. Only a few come through thoroughly battle scared but no case to answer.
I'm cautious of the repercussions of speaking out too much because I had years of what you went through, but because I'm visibly disabled and come from a disastrous childhood, I'm an easy target for having those things used to turn the spotlight away from my dc's needs, onto the parent and paint a different picture of why a parent says their dc can't get an education in the school provided, or why the child's needs are the way they are, rather than as a result of the condition they have. It's an old game.
It is very painful to be subjected to, but judges generally see through it if you can keep your head and your dignity and your child's needs to the fore regardless and doesn't leave people looking like they genuinely had the child's needs at heart if they use this without honest grounds.
Why do SS allow themselves to be abused? Because they operate on 'no smoke without fire' theories, a desperate need to back cover should something later happen to any child 'now known to them', and rarely acknowledge to parents even when they want to*, that 'professional colleagues' at all sorts of levels, routinely abuse their positions to cover up situations, and that they are on the receiving end.
*I'm always reminded of the unspoken conspiracy of silence between adulterous men and the male population as a whole even when they don't approve.
It's very difficult. I've seen both sides of this but the worse thing for genuine child protection is when an emergency SS/CP inquiry is called for as a silencing tactic, minuted, and then not followed up (or poorly investigated and swiftly closed) because SS know or suspect they're just being used as a stick to beat a parent with. I was of course grateful that they didn't bother pursuing that one, but, how did they know that my accusers weren't finally right? I hadn't finally snapped under the years of accusations and strain, or become too disabled to cope, when they didn't respond?
That's the dangerous situation 'professionals' abusing the CP system to cover up situations, mis management, and malpractise, or discredit parents for other reasons, helped create, and that's the bigger disgrace IMO.
Yes I am not sure why these services allow themselves to be played like this. Disgraceful.
Seems like involving SS Race, is becoming standard response in some LA's. Im quite shocked that SS can be used like this and allow themselves to.
Anyhow I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks. That's really helpful. But this TA 'package' came in response to a pre-action protocol letter!
They are determined to do nothing unless forced so we will have to take JR.
There were no suitable local schools but one has said they may be able to assess now. Not sure if it is the right option for DS but the sum for this school makes tutor time seem like peanuts.
Its s19 EA96.
He is entitled to be taught by a teacher.
It looks like the LA is hiding behind the school keeping him on roll. The LA is probably trying to get the funding to pay for the tutor from the school. If all are saying that he should be taught at home that must be recognition that MS sch is not appropriate and he needs a different environment. Home Ed is is not an option here due to the circumstances in that you have not chosen it.
Check out the local independent schools and make noises to place the child there. That may change the current views.
On the face of it the child is having his right to education denied to him. The child would therefore be entitled to Legal Help/Aid to correct the failure of the LA to educate him. You would act as his litigation friend. Go through the Legal Aid Agency and seek advice from Maxwell Gillet for Judicial Review against the LA. Nothing like a JR to make the LA see some sense. Not perfect but helpful.
Hope this helps.
I am so sorry you had to suffer that.
It was Race! then when they can find no fault with your parenting and you and your solicitor make complaints about SS and LA conduct and SS/LA realise what a balls up they made of the whole thing and that needs are actually with the child, not the parents. All of SS records 'disappear', including all assessments from their system and history is rewritten!
OMG. Utterly awful and traumatising.
Yep, SS write to your GP and ask any problems with drink, drugs or mental illness. Any problems with your other kids, any other concerns and what for and when you have taken your child to the GP for previously!
You are then part of a CAF or TAC whatever they want to call it, because of SS involvement which involves 'information sharing' between parties!
They got hold of your medical records!! What?
I suppose blaming or trying to find fault with the parents (ie getting your hands on their medical records and investigating their life style/home environment by involving ss), is a whole lot cheaper than paying for provision.
I was one of the lucky ones, I have never suffered with any mental illness or depression. My older children all attended school and college. My house is well maintained. Just some examples of the info the LA get their hands on by involving SS and then run with.
Mum has suffered with depression, other kids school attendance is a bit patchy (for whatever reason) and house could do with a bit more maintenance and you are in shit. Bang goes indie SS school and mum needs some tablets and parenting classes. Just another LA dirty trick.
claw that is dreadful. These people sicken me, they really do.
No one can get away with saying this is just about the money. If it is, why vilify parents?
You are right Race, if I had have paid for a HT, then SS probably couldn't have said that I was taking no steps to prioritise ds's education! I had asked LA to provide tutor, I had asked school to send home work and he had been signed off from school by my GP and I had applied for SA!
LA had refused SA and refused HT. Yet I was the one being reported to SS for not prioritising his education!
Strange what people in positions of power regard as 'prioritising education'. They make me sick!
Just chipping in - my solicitor advised us to recoup the costs of the private GCSE courses we bought for him from the LA. Was probably part of the eventual settlement.
If you pay, you are not relieving them of their legal duties.
In fact, quite the opposite as it demonstrates that they are not fulfilling their legal duties because if they were, you wouldn't have to pay!
What you are doing is ensuring your child gets some education in the face of their failure rather than none at all.
But it is wrong that anyone has to do it.
Well the TA would have been from receiving indi SS school, so LA couldn't really force them to play ball. So it would seem that most schools wouldn't regard TA's as 'suitable', regardless of what LA think.
No I haven't read that, ds is now attending indi ss school, after receiving 6 months worth of HT, 5 hours per week. But ds was previously without education for 4 months prior to that.
My solicitor at the time advised me against paying for HT myself and relieving the LA of their duties.
My asking LA to fulfil their duties resulted in them reporting me to SS! Again just another delay tactic.
Interesting Claw.
Well it is Monday - the beginning of another week - and there is still no education in place for the foreseeable future - suitable or not!
It is outrageous that LAs feel so comfortable lying. But have you ever read the North Tyneside judgment? It is very short and the judges lay into the LA barrister for dragging things out when he's got no case.
These are Court of Appeal judges basically saying the barrister is not fulfilling his duty to the court and is practically pretending there is a case to answer in the hope that "something comes up".
Worth a read to demonstrate in some courts (as opposed to tribunals), judges take such things seriously.
Yep, insurance was the reason I was given for TA not being able to come home to home tutor.

Pizza: Subwoofers Of Mass Seduction
Pizza is either the pinnacle or the nadir of ethnic
humour. Or both at once.
Pizza is either the pinnacle or the nadir of ethnic humour. Or both at once.
In your face: Paul Fenech.
Photo: Sandy Scheltema
Fat Pizza, the long-running SBS cult comedy, is either the pinnacle or the nadir of ethnic humour. Or, more probably, both at once.
The brainchild of Paul Fenech - who began his career in television by sweeping floors at the ABC - the low-budget series focuses on a suburban pizza shop and the ribald antics of its multicultural delivery boys.
Fat Pizza may be zany and Z-grade, but it has also proved immensely popular, with a spin-off movie in 2003 and now the return of a revamped stage show - Pizza: Subwoofers of Mass Seduction.
If you love the TV series, Subwoofers won't disappoint. You'll find all your yucky favourites in the flesh, and sometimes rather too much flesh for comfort.
The supporting cast includes Bobo (Johnny Boxer), the psychotic pizza chef who runs the restaurant, and his equally angry apprentice, Junior (Andrew Ausage); the silent but deadly Kevin the Kiwi (Kevin Taumata) and DJ BJ (Alex Romano).
The main event: Pauly (Paul Fenech), the long-serving, embittered stooge who comperes the evening and holds it all together; Habib (Tahir Bilgic), a car thief and drug dealer; Chong Fat (Anh Do), a hard-working delivery boy; and bong-smoking Aussie bludger Davo Dinkum (played with disgusting elan by Channel V's Jabba).
Subwoofers is a show that runs on a souped-up engine of offensiveness, and there's always plenty of fuel in the tank. From the opening sequence, we're warned of "sex scenes, violence, burnouts and pussy".
Much of its humour aims below the belt, and in terms of pure puerility, it makes South Park look like The Simpsons.
More impressive, and funnier, are its ethnic caricatures and multicultural jesting.
The four main comedians rove the audience, taking the piss out of themselves as much as the guests. They're improv pros, and some of the most hilarious moments are entirely unscripted. Having said that, there's a daunting amount of audience participation - so make sure you get a good haircut before you go.
The format is quite varied: short sketches, stand-up, pre-recorded films, and a couple of spectacular visual surprises. Though there were a number of dead moments, these were ameliorated by the show's inherent and self-conscious lameness.
Subwoofers will delight fans of the TV show. Others will need strong stomachs and dirty minds - or a few beers in them - to enjoy it. I found the comedy repetitive and inconsistently amusing, although the pair of perfect breasts flashed at the end of the night achieved its aim - I left with my capacity for critical thought utterly evacuated.

Well today I am feeling alot better. But I am getting sick of taking my medicine, my mommy is trying to trick me now by hiding it in some food but I know its there, so I spit it back out. I think mommy was getting a little upset with me so on the 6th time I just went ahead and swallowed it. I felt bad that I was upsetting her because I saw her outside working so hard at pulling up all those nasty weeds I ate that made me sick. And anyways I saw the pill bottle and I only have a few pills left. Maybe I'll be all better by next week so I can go walking down by the lake again.
Well, I'm not feeling to well today. Mommy had to take me to the vet yesterday. I ate some strange weeds in the yard and I started vomiting and my tummy was really sore. Boy, I'll never do that again because I had to get 3 shots and I have to take three really big pills everyday for two weeks. But on a good note, I am getting lots of attention. Everyone is bringing me water and my toys! And I'm getting lots of kisses!!!!!! But I hope I start to feel better soon.
Andrea, my mommy's daughter is home from school today so I have to go before she catches me using the computer.

text: Impact Results - 1/10/08 - (Awesome Kong caputures Women's Title) Reported by Adam Martin of WrestleView.com On Thursday, January 10, 2008 at 11:46 PM EST Results courtesy of TNAwrestling.com- There is a NEW TNA Women's Champion as Awesome Kong (accompanied by a mysterious new associate) defeated Gail Kim on Thursday's broadcast to become the titleholder! Just like their two previous bouts, this match was just as explosive and action-packed. However, unlike their previous matches, Gail wasn't able to stop her juggernaut nemesis! Kong was able to beat Gail after hitting her with multiple sitdown powerbomb finishers. Check out video above of Kong's huge win over Gail to claim the gold!- Samoa Joe arrived to "iMPACT!" looking for TNA management director Jim Cornette to punish Kevin Nash for what he did to Joe at the PPV, but Cornette told Joe to solve the mess himself.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/6/2014 (1097 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The timeline to fix Victoria Avenue is down the drain after this month's rain delayed the first phase of the road's massive rebuild.
Both the city and the province pointed to rain as the culprit and the city said the road between 12th Street and 18th Street will reopen by July 4 — and the excuse appears to hold water.
According to Environment Canada, 113 millimetres of water was dumped on Brandon so far in June, 75 of which came during last Thursday's deluge.
The first phase was originally supposed to be completed Monday.
As provincial road crews rip up and completely rebuild a mile of Victoria Avenue in four sections, the city is working to replace water mains and historic lead service pipes as they go — forcing complete closures of parts of Victoria through much of the summer.
After they are through with the current upgrades, crews will move east. Victoria Avenue is expected to be fully rebuilt all the way between First Street and 18th Street by the end of the summer.
The next part of the work will shut down the road between Eighth Street and 12th Street.

Hey everybody, sick of the Olympic Games yet?
With Day 3 of the games currently under way, the Internet has had a whole weekend to digest a bunch of coverage (although, not live if you're watching it via NBC), and I think that puppets "Glove and Boots" have nailed the feeling for most of the Internet at this juncture:
Of course, there are a ton of people who still enjoy the Olympics, so for the next two weeks there will be plenty of action for them. But I sometimes think that a lot of the Internet has had their share of Olympics (after all, in Internet time, three days is a lifetime), and are ready to comment or critique the next big thing.
