What do pro trans builders do with rebuilt 700R4 planetary bearings?
I just tore into a '91 core that is going to be rebuilt and put in my truck.
I found the input carrier ring gear support bearing chewed up. i will replace the whole front planetary with one out of another trans.
But what do you do about the trapped bearing? How do you know if its any good? Just do a feel test?
I could be wrong but I wouldn't think that all rebuilt 700's get new planetaries.
Do all the top rebuilders use the old planetaries or is there a rebuild procedure, or do they put in new ones?
these front planet torington bearings are seldom trouble.
When they go bad , obviously they can take out the pinion gears of the carrier and the outer ring gear too. The needle bearings get looose & into the gears and they chew themslves up.
The captured bearing can only be replaced if the planet is rebuilt where the pins are pressed out. I am not aware of a fold up type of bearing that can be easily inserted.
I see more rear planet torrington bearings bad than the front planetary bearings. This generally is a lubrication problem easily corrrected with the proper clearances in the bushings, end play, sealing ring land areas and drilling out the lube feed hole in the stator
I have a custom mandrel I use to check the bearings. I put pressure on the bearing while spinning it.
I gotta sign this too?

Thanks for the reply
So thats all thats typically done is a thorough inspection of each plantary and it's captured bearing and these are reused in the high performance rebuilds?
700 bearing
after enough time at rebuilding you learn how to check bearing for wear. not to many transmission re-builder replace or should I say dismantle planets to check the bearing inside unless the bearing will come out without pressing out the pin and gears. thats too much time wasted the bearing failure is always noticeable if you have the experience
Airworld, I'm sure I can make a dowel to test the bearing and feel for roughness, I've done it before on loose (accessable) torrington bearings and felt roughness, pryed it apart and seen pitted races.
I have just always wondered what builders like B&M, TCI, Hughes, Bowtie overdrives, etc do it. I know they all don't rebuild or replace the planetaries.
I want to be sure my rebuild is up there with the pros
I want it to be reliable, I just built a couple of th400's and found all three main bearings pitted on both, luckily they can be visually inspected and replaced for cheap.
I thought we were talking about the front planet only.
We install new rear planets in all HP units. usually 4 pinion, sometimes 5 pinion units front and rear.

jason cant be up with the pro if you arent one, one time rebuilder doesnt make you a pro makes you a want to be rebuilder 700 tranny are not the easy pro built tranny many mods are made to make them last.......
Re: 700 bearing
The first 700 I built back in '97 got a transgo 2&3 kit and ran 13 flat behind my 406 in a '75 nova, that's not that impressive but I wanted a manual trans again so I sold the 700 to a guy who, to this day, has it in a 55 chevy nomad wagon that he uses to tow a pro street vega around the country.
I've also built the th400 in my friends bosses '89 silverado with a 540 bbc pushing well over 800 hp. And I've built the th400 in my nova, the 700 in the s-10 I used to own that ran mid 12's.
I figure if I can do all that than I can handle building another 700 for my own truck.
No I'm not a pro and I'm not up to all the ATSG update bulletins or whatever the hell.
And no I'm sure thats nothing compared to what experience you have.
But can't I ask a question? Why don't you default all your answers to 'you're not a pro transmission builder so thats the problem'. What the hell is this forum for?
I have a book made up of printed out modifications, etc from pro builders who are nice enough to give advice.
All I know is the transmissions I've built have worked for the applications they were built for.
So let me guess, all you do is build transmissions, you can't do tune ups because your not an engine mechanic, you can't do improvements around your home because you're not a carpenter, you can't fix your computer because you're not a computer tech?
Lets see, I bet you've done some of each sucessfully even though you work as a transmission builder. So why can't the non transmission builder step over that line and do something he was not formally trained for and doesn't do everyday?
What the hell is the problem?
700 bearing
Jason the board is about all things , your statement was you want to do all the things the pros do..... my rebuttal was stating that your not a pro when you do it 1 or even 2 times . Ive read your post and have given input on some I can do a tune up and can do home repairs but that doesn't make me think I compare with those in that field as if I where a pro in that area.... you ask for words from the pros don't whine when you don't like their words.... I ve been transmission repair for many years and seen many who think ohh its so easy Ill try it.... come back when you have been rebuilding transmission for 23 years and tell me what you know. I'll help anyone I can but don't take the words I say to harsh... advise is not always postive here
Jason I re-read your last post your the big time builder what are you asking for knowlege for!!!!!!!!!

Re: 700 bearing
Sure then I take offense to being called a rebuilder wanna be, sure I don't like those words who would. Sounds like we're back in high school shop class or something.
I know I can do it and if it blows up guess what....I'll build something else, I love to build transmissions, all the transmissions I've sold in the newspapers have been in my car running, didn't like the manual so I tried a 700, got tired of that and sold it, used the manual again got tired of that, sold it, put in a th350C, got tired of that sold it, put in a th350, tired of that sold it, now it's got a th400, why? I don't know I just like doing it.
I have 12 cores I bought from my local junkyard, why, just in case I need something to do I guess
Face it, it's not brain surgery. It's not easy either and not everyone can do it but you don't know everyone on this board and you don't know what each of us is capable of.
I came here to ask for a pro's advice not a lecture. Thanks for showing what an ashole you are
700 bearing
what you say maybe true but your here asking for help not the other way around ....... I'm the guy the rebuilds transmission 5 days a weeks 52 weeks a year for the past 23 years I think I can find the trouble where others fail too, but thats because I was at one time a wanna be re-builder if tranny are what you want to do for a living put your best foot forward and find the answers for yourself thats the best way to find what will from what wont work. I haven't be in high school for many years but trannny school is in for me everyday never too smart to learn more. transmission change fast in the world you have to be on your toes or someone will put you out of the business
Me neither, I chose to do something non automotive for a career so I wouldn't get burned out with it and stay happy doing it as a hobby.
I've done a lot of different things over the years for a short while. Always come back to tranny work. Must be a sickness
I am gathering information on HVAC stuff so i can hang some a/c inside my home shop. I gotta figure the size needed.
I was just up in my attic of my house fixing the drain system on the catch pan for my 4 year old air handler. When the drain line runs up hill , it does not drain well.
Why it never over flowed & run down the interior walls till now is beyond me.
I guess some folks can learn, others can't.
I had an electrical guy add power steering fluid to his brake master cylinder years ago. he blamed the brake problem on us tranny guys that had just rebuilt the tranny in his GM van.......
I gotta sign this too?
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Got to get the a/h raised up enough to get good pitch on the drain line. Then put as much pitch to it as possible.
If it's bad enough the pan inside the a/h may be full of slime and blocking the drain opening. Hopefully you have an emergency pan under the unit.
700 bearing
This is not directed toward anyone
Transmission repair is all I've ever been involved with since I was out of school and it been good to me and my whole family. yep I have one big chip on my shoulder I have seen many of my customer's that have said{ The guy down the street fixed it for in his garage didn't know what he was doing now I came here} thats bad for anyone spending there money and then get well I don't know whats wrong. doing yourself sometimes is penny wise but dollar foolish. when it comes to transmission repair I eat sleep and dream about its my life that dedication

5 Ways to Save for Prom Season
January 24, 2013
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Now that two weeks have passed returning from winter break senior have a few things on their mind: : graduation, preparing for life after high school and PROM!! Prom seems to be the one thing that all high school seniors are unfathomable consumed with. Finding the perfect dress, the perfect date and the perfect hairstyle. Needless to say, prom is very expensive. Our economy is still experiencing a recession and money seems to be tight for everyone. The last thing parents want to do is pay $400 alone for a custom-made dress or tuxedo on top of college tuition. We all like to save money. Who said you can't be glamorous and on a budget?
Courtney Alicia Miles, a senior here at King/Drew, has prom plans already in motion. When asked how much she has spent on prom preparations so far she replied "I only spent like $140. I found my dress online for a discounted price which left me room to splurge on my shoes". This is a great example of glam on a budget!
#1 Buy your dress and rent your tuxedo, do not have it made:
Girls spend so much money on custom-made dresses when one just as unique can be bought with hundreds of dollars saved. Many local boutiques have custom in store dresses. This means that there is only one dress of its kind so you do not have to worry about someone else having the same dress. For guys, you are only going to be in the suit for a few hours. Instead of buying a brand new suit that is only going to be worn once, RENT one and save hundreds of dollars.
#2 Buy couples tickets:
Even if you plan not to bring a date, you and a friend can buy your tickets together and save a possible $20 to $30. The earlier the tickets are purchased, the cheaper they will be.
#3 Combine champagne parties:
Combine champagne parties with friends. By evenly splitting the costs of the party with a friend (or friends) you can save a lot of money and still have the experience.
#4 Party Bus with Friends:
Prom is all about appearances. Arriving in style is also very important. By renting a party bus or limo with a group of friends and dividing the cost you can save close to a hundred dollars or more per person. Usually a party bus/limo will cost about $100 per hour. The more people the less money each person will have to spend.
#5 Go Natural
Girls, instead of spending $400 for a couple of bundles of Malaysian hair… go natural! By styling your own hair you can save hundreds of dollars.
Thinking smart during prom season can save a person hundreds and hundreds of dollars. It is possible to be on a budget and have a fun time. Follow these five steps and you'll be on your way to having an amazing prom experience.

St Kilda are currently available at 6/4 with Sportingbet (use bonus code MAXIMUMBONUS). Last week's game was drawn 68-68 and with no extra-time or Golden goal-type rules in play in the AFL, both teams do it all again on Saturday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Collingwood booked their place in the Melbourne final after cruising to a 120-79 victory over Geelong Cats, while St Kilda had a tougher game against the Western Bulldogs, reaching the final with a 88-64 win. The two teams have crossed paths twice already this season prior to last weekend's final with the Saints winning their first match 61-49 back in round three, and the Magpies winning their round 16 clash 100-52. Ahead of the game, St Kilda coach Ross Lyon has had to defend Steven Baker, who has been recalled following the latest in a long list of suspensions for the defensive hard man. "If you want to continue to hang him for prior incidents, that's your prerogative," Lyon told reporters prior to last weekend's first final clash. "But we see him as a 200-game player, best and fairest winner, highly-respected. "People can make their own judgments, but he certainly has a number of players to play on ... that's why he's been brought in. "To allude to the fact that Steven's been brought in for some thuggery is mischievous and negligent."

No. 1 North Carolina used goals from Andy Craven and Martin Murphy to claim a 2-1 win over Boston University Sunday night at Fetzer Field.
Junior Andy Craven put the Tar Heels in front less than 20 minutes into the contest when he put away his second goal of the season. Sophomore Verneri Valimaa sent a searching ball over the defense to Craven on the left flank. Craven settled the ball and found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
Craven chipped the ball over the charging keeper and into the right side of the net to put Carolina in front of the Terriers, 1-0.
Boston University nearly evened things up in the 29th minute when Jeroen Blugh connected on a header that was cleared off the line by Jordan Gafa for a team save. Sanford Spivey put a header of his own on target less than two minutes later but Scott Goodwin was able to snag the shot to keep Carolina in front.
Gafa nearly struck for the Tar Heels on the opposite end of the pitch when Danny Garcia sent a corner kick in from the flag. Gafa tracked the ball near the far post and directed a header that Boston goalkeeper Nick Thomson made a diving save on.
The Terriers came out firing in the second half and earned a corner in the first minute that led to a shot by Parker Powell that Goodwin secured for one of his season-high six saves on the night.
Carolina nearly made it 2-0 on a tremendous run by Danny Garcia in the 55th minute. Garcia found a cross at the back post and made a diving attempt and barely missed the far post.
From that point on the match opened up with attempts coming at a frantic pace from both sides. Mac McGuire and Michael Bustamante forced Goodwin into saves, while Craven and Murphy did it on the other end.
Garcia sent in a corner in the 65th minute that Murphy volleyed out of the air from 10 yards out but a Boston University defender was on the line to keep it from finding the back of the net. The ensuing rebound bounced to a waiting Andy Craven who unloaded on a shot but sent it over the bar for a goal kick.
The 68th minute saw Raby George race down the right flank and make a move to the inside of the left back as he entered the 18-yard box. The defender brought down George from behind after he sent in a cross as the referee whistled for a penalty. Jeroen Blugh was issued a yellow card for the tackle allowing Martin Murphy a chance to put UNC up 2-0 with a penalty.
Murphy sent the penalty past the goalkeeper as Carolina claimed a 2-0 lead in the 68th minute.
The Terriers would not surrender as they were able to pull a goal back in the 84th minute when Dominique Badji headed a ball past Goodwin when Michael Bustamante crossed a ball from the right of the goal to the middle of the box.
Boston University continued to apply pressure to the Tar Heels in the final six minutes of action but the Tar Heel defense rose to the occasion and kept the Terriers from registering another shot on the night.
The goal snapped a scoreless streak of 390 minutes for senior goalkeeper Scott Goodwin who had not allowed a goal since a second half effort by UCLA in the national semifinal in 2011.
Carolina improved to 3-0-0 on the year with the win, while Boston University dropped to 1-3-0 on the year after playing four ranked opponents to start the year.
Up next for the Tar Heels is the ACC opener when Virginia Tech comes to Fetzer Field for a 7 p.m. kick on Saturday, Sept. 8.

If there's one word that's just so totally America, it's 'Walmart' - try and say it without an American accent, it's just not possible.
So it's suitable that as part of their mission to make America love them as much as we do (and oh, we do) One Direction signed an exclusive deal with the store to sell their debut album, and cruised by the shop in New York to sign some CDs.
We're not 100% sure why they're wearing green tracksuits to do it, but hey - it works. They flash those cute little grins at us, and we don't mind what they wear to be honest. We're pretty sure Romeo Beckham's a bit of a One Direction fan though - look how similar his outfit was yesterday!
One Direction were promoting their debut album Up All Night, which is tipped to go the top of the US charts this week - something even The Beatles didn't manage, though the two bands do have a lot of other stuff in common - check that out right here.
The new Beatles? Spooky picture evidence that One Direction are turning into the Fab Four
Now we're off to think of other totally American words. So far we have sidewalk, period (the full stop version), Hank and trash can. Any we've missed?

Expectations are high in Lynchburg, boosted by one of the program's best senior classes in their history and a preseason All-American at every position.
Junior midfielder Max Voumard and senior attackman Dylan Hoff, both preseason second team All-Americans, will lead the offense while four-year starter Franc Cook will command the defense from his spot in between the pipes.
However, the Hornets have suffered five-plus losses each year since their last Old Dominion Athletic Conference title in 2008. If there's any year to make a large footprint on a national scene, it's 2012.
To open the season, 15 different Hornets dented the nets in a 21-4 romp over Birmingham Southern this past weekend. They'll hit the road to face defending national champion Salisbury on Saturday afternoon.
Though Koudelka certainly won't pound it into his players' heads every week, expectations are high in Lynchburg. Nor will he bring up the fact that this would be his first group of seniors to wrap up their careers without an ODAC title if they fail to do so.
As such with any team, goals are a big component. But to Koudelka, it's more about the journey rather than thinking about the destination, taking it game by game and not looking past any opponent.
The Hornets struggled in a four-game stretch in 2011, which put their tournament hopes fully out of reach without the coveted AQ gained with a conference title.
Despite a minimal amount of graduation losses, this team has a different makeup and a considerably different drive, led by the seniors.
For the third consecutive year, attackman Dylan Hoff will be a marked man. The senior has eclipsed the 30-goal mark in each of his seasons as a Hornet, on pace to finish his career with well over 200 points.
"Dylan has taken his game to another level this year; he's lost 20 pounds since the end of last year and is considerably quicker," Koudelka says. "He's worked almost religiously at creating his own shot, which we think was due to a lack of fitness but he's playing at an ever higher level now."
A beneficiary of the attention thrown at Hoff by opposing defenses has been classmate Ben Sauer, Hoff's 'best friend', according to Koudelka. After missing last fall with a broken jaw, Sauer came back and tallied 16 goals and 15 assists.
He's probably the strongest player on the team pound-for-pound," Koudelka says. "He complements Dylan very well, they always know where each other is and have become a very nice 1-2 punch."
Koudelka calls this year's team "deeper than we have ever been," which can be attributed to a very strong senior class. Previously, the largest senior class was a dozen in 2003, a record-setting year for the Hornets.
This year, there are fifteen seniors on the roster leading the way, including Ryan Beale. While home on fall break in 2009, Beale was involved in a single car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Returning to school twelve months ago, he makes it a point to attend every practice and game to support his teammates. His fellow seniors have since rallied around him.
"The seniors are one of the best groups of kids I've ever coached, just an outstanding group of guys," Koudelka says. "The carry a ton of weight for us in practice, in the locker room and off the field."
Among them are a handful of players that play a large role, but are unheralded ('behind the scenes', as Koudelka put it). Ben Wright will likely be the third close defenseman. Midfielders Matt Manzo and Andrew 'Rooster' Wilfong may not be All-Conference players yet but act as the glue of the offense.
After being hampered by a knee injury early in his career, senior Jeff Schwartz enjoyed a phenomenal 2011 campaign, winning 195 of 303 (64.4%) draws on his way to first team All-ODAC honors.
Flanking Schwartz is classmate Matt Jernack, who won 37 of 70 (53%) draws in 2011. The 6-foot, 215-pound New Jersey native has been battling with Schwartz consistently in practice, and Koudelka says that the pair have both improved their offensive skills to help create some unsettled situations.
Led by IL preseason Defenseman of the Year Joe Lisicky, a junior from Unionville (Pa.), the Lynchburg defense has the luxury of being very deep. There's a nice combination of 'brain and brawns' down on the backline with senior Joe Lombardo being as knowledgeable of the scouting reports as anybody and Lisicky being a prime athlete once recruited by Division I-AA football schools.
Two seniors will get runs at LSM, as last year's longstick, Jon Gill, will likely be bumped down to close defense. Rob Day is one of the fastest kids on the team and will be a big component in between the lines, as will Chris Rainwater, a speedy and athletic option.
Two freshmen are also making their mark - 'they're not playing like freshmen at all', Koudelka says. Hunter Thompson came in highly touted out of Salem (Va.) high, not too far from archrival Roanoke's campus. Berk Ellis, a cerebral 5-foot-8, 160-pound freshman from Columbus has been making plays as well.
While some players may get moved around, those four will get the runs at LSM while Lombardo and Lisicky hold down the close defense. Look for Lynchburg to use more defenseman than usual.
"We have a very nice problem," Koudelka says.
Koudelka estimates that Lisicky scored more goals (10) than he was scored on last spring. Being that dangerous in the open field, one would assume that he'd fit in more at LSM, but Lisicky has been a mainstay on the Hornets' close defense ever since he was a freshman.
"He's very good at wreaking havoc with his stick but Joe also plays position well," Koudelka said. "He understands the unsettled game as good as anybody."
A tireless worker in the weight room and on the field before and after practices, Curran will make the move from defensive midfield to offensive midfield in 2012.
"Vin's stick has improved considerably; his offensive skills are refined enough to switch him to offense," Koudelka says. "He's a tough kid that plays with a lot of edge."

|A Randomized, Serum Level-targeted Study Investigating the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered Gallium Maltolate in Patients With Various Refractory Malignancies
|Brief Summary
|This study will test the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of different doses of oral gallium maltolate. Patients will receive oral gallium maltolate twice daily for 28-consecutive days followed by 14 days off treatment. This dosing cycle will be repeated. Adverse effects will be assessed and the levels of gallium in serum will be measured. Any effect of the drug on the cancer and any improvement in cancer-related symptoms will also be measured.
|Detailed Description
|Gallium maltolate is an orally bioavailable form of gallium. This is a safety, pharmacokinetic and preliminary efficacy study. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety profile in patients after oral administration of different doses of gallium maltolate for up to six 42-day cycles (28 days of gallium maltolate, followed by 14 days off treatment). In addition, serum concentrations of gallium and associated pharmacokinetic variables will be measured. From this information, an optimal dose will be selected for assessment of anti-tumor efficacy. The study assesses the effects of oral administration of gallium maltolate on pain resulting from bony metastasis, on biochemical measures of bone turnover, and on disease progression and overall survival in patients with various refractory malignancies. Patients may receive up to 6 cycles of the investigational agent.

Christians must realize that the Bible does not command wives to submit to abuse...
- 2001 11 Jan
...Women Escaping a Violent Environment , or WEAVE, recently ran full-page ads in several newspapers urging conservative Christians to reach out to victims of domestic violence. The ads are the result of a deadly case of domestic violence four years ago involving Janice Castorena, a Sunday school teacher and church leader who was stabbed to death in her Sacramento home, according to Sacramento television station KCRA . Her husband was charged with murder, the station reported. Friends of Castorena said she believed the Bible commanded her to submit to her husband's abuse and to keep forgiving him, according to the report.
...Evangelicals have been wary of groups such as WEAVE, suspecting they were undermining marriage, Shireen Miles of WEAVE said. But that has changed somewhat when it comes to protecting women and their children who are being harmed, and some evangelicals have become partners with women's advocates, she said.

I didn't understand it right after the first viewing, but 'Trust'
is of Hal Hartley's finest works, excelled only by the somewhat more
conventional drama 'Henry Fool'. As with many other of Hartley's earlier
works, it takes a while to let the film sink into you. But with the
viewing one starts to appreciate the film's subtilities, both the dry
humour and the fine, deeply compassionate portraits of the
The story starts up with a scene typical for Hartley: rebellious teenager Maria Coughlin informs her parents that not only will she drop out of high school, she is also pregnant. A quarrel takes place, and when her father calls her 'slut' she slaps him in the face. He drops down dead. The movie can begin.
Things get ugly for Maria. Her boyfriend, a chauvinist pig, leaves her when she informs him that she's pregnant, claiming he's not the father anyway. And at home her mother waits for her and coolly claims that since Maria's killed her husband, she is now forever in her mother's debt and have to work for her. Never again will she do housework... This is when she meets up with Matthew Slaughter, a truly gifted engineer but with a somewhat sociopathic behaviour, and filled to the brim with anger and hatered.
Martin Donovan truly does an outstanding portrait of Matthew, and perfectly manages to forge his paradoxal feelings of extreme anger and vulnerability into a fully working unit.
A deeply moving story of two scarred, somewhat maladjusted souls manage to find each other, told in a low-key mood that doesn't get to you immediately. But eventually it does, and when it does...you're hooked.
Trust me, this is one of the best made movies of all times. I cannot believe that more people don't know about this movie. It has a great story, brilliant acting and it's really funny. This is like the best Inde movie ever. But just see it for yourself and if you like it tell someone about it, because although it is a small film, it is great American art and should be recognized.
I had the honor of viewing this, one of Hal Hartley's first films, last night. This being 2006, needless to say it has been some time since my first viewing of this very special film. This is the kind of movie that I recommend to certain friends and younger people I know (I first viewed it when very young). So many moments sit in my mind unnoticed until another viewing years after the last. An amazing tale of growth and awakening in a world that often does not present itself as being conducive to growth. The dialog is pure Hartley (if you are unfamiliar with his films I would recommend this as a good place to start). Halfway between John Hughes and Samuel Beckett. The actors portray their awakenings delicately and with precision. Please see this film!
I first saw this film in 1990 while I was in college and I loved it. I watched it over and over on VHS. I told everyone that this was my favorite movie of all time and watched every Hal Hartley movie I could find. Last night I stumbled across Trust on Netflix Instant and I thought I'd check it out to see if this film that I was so passionate about when I was 20 years old held up over time or if the 40 year old me would find it silly or dated. To my surprise I was blown away all over again by how ridiculously great it is. The smart stylized dialog, the music, the starkness, the silences, the camera framing, all of the whacked out but fully human characters, Martin Donovan and Adrienne Shelly so young and beautiful. As the final, simple, beautiful, frame of the film disappeared and credits rolled I was left sitting on the couch in a state of shocked amazement at the effect this film still has on me. Hands down my favorite movie of all time!
I stumbled across this movie about midway through on IFC one
morning...I was hooked! I couldn't look away. I had to see it from the
beginning, all the way through, as it was meant to be viewed. I studied
the IFC programming schedule well into the future in order to see this
movie again. Eventually I did. Several times. And even now I'm still
haunted by it. Some films don't stand up to repeated viewings very well
however this one does.
This movie has moved me as much as any movie ever has in my life. Do a friend a favor, turn em on to this one, but don't tell them ANYTHING about it beforehand(need that really be said?), let em experience it for themselves. My next goal is to own this movie in some form or another one day. It'll be a welcome addition to my collection.
TRUST (1990) *** Adrienne Shelly and Martin Donovan shine as a pregnant,
naive teen who is befriended by troubled loner-type, respectively, in this
sharply written satire/black comedy/and at times gimmicky bloodless acting
(but that's also the warped appeal) that brings into question the monotony
of dreary jobs, thankless relationships and bad parenting. Directed by Hal
Hartley in his signature solemnity.
I caught this movie on the television network Bravo. I didn't see the very beginning but found myself glued to the machinations of the Matthew Slaughter character. I felt the performance of Martin Donavan was wonderful and I enjoyed the odd way the characters spoke with one another. The lines were rapid-fire, almost like "Moonlighting", but with a different nuance which I can't quite put my finger on. The movie was funny, but the best word for it is "interesting". It truly was a movie unlike any other I had seen, with a Coen Brothers sense of humor. I wish I knew more people who had seen it, because it is a movie that warrants discussion afterward.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Watching Hal Hartley's Trust for the second time 15 years later is
exhilarating and somewhat disappointing. The characters are contrived
and overintellectualized, and the conflict between parent and child
here doesn't ring true (it seems to have the usual bitterness of
college sophomores). Also the gestures and dialogue are stagy and
slightly pretentious. Never mind that; you're missing the point. The
film is not aiming at realism; it's aiming at conveying the emotional
turbulence of young adult struggling to break free from the orbit of
their parents.
Plot and incident flow naturally and often end up in unexpected places. There's lots of surprises, many of them comic. The film is about throwing characters together and watching how they react. The moment where the girl messes up the kitchen makes you wonder, how will the father react? The dialogue (reminiscient of Stoppard or Mamet) is curt and enigmatic and challenging. And always entertaining. People are learning from one another and changing..possibly improving. The movie Trust is less about plot than a certain attitude toward life--how much trust should we place in family, friends, peers? People don't have secrets or histories; they have metaphysical complaints and frustrated dreams. Martin Donovan and Adrienne Shelly are not only young charismatic actors, they act and react with subtlety and focus. Yet both have chemistry with one another and manage to sustain this intensity without going too far (Kudos to Mr. Hartley for not aiming
for sympathy or making motives too transparent). Donovan seems adept at playing characters about to boil under, but manage to hold it in (He's at his best in the film Surviving Desire,).
Adrienne, that moment when you put on your glasses at the end was a great cinematic moment. Hopeful, assertive and maybe even cocky. Your fans will always have that moment to remember you by.
If you liked Trust, you'd also enjoy: Hartley's Surviving Desire (although it's more arty), Jill Sprecher's 13 Conversations about One Thing and her earlier film, Clockwatchers).
This is the film that made the film world (well, a tiny corner of the film world, anyway) sit up and take notice of an up-and-coming filmmaker named Hal Hartley. Trust exists as a unique little motion picture, a movie which creates a world which manages to be both ridiculous and real at the same time, a mixture mirroring the absurdity which, often times, dominates the structure of actual life. The most remarkable thing about this movie, though, is its ability to craft a charmingly sweet love story in the center out of what seems to be utter emptiness. Martin Donavan and Adrienne Shelley portray two characters, the likes of which I would challenge you to find carbon copies of anywhere in celluloid history. They are real, honest sketches of humanity, and with them Hartley is able to explore why and how we fall in love, and whether you agree with his interpretation of what is love, his love story comes across loud and clear. I once had a professor who claimed there are no new stories to be told. Well, I think Mr. Hartley may have stumbled across one...no, make that, calculatedly made one.
I had heard about this film but never got myself around it to watch it.
one night I had nothing to do so I decided to rent a movie. I came across
Trust and rented it and I loved it. It had a great story, brilliant acting
and character development. The direction was excellent. It is a movie that
is pretty hard to desribe and I am not the one who should be writing to
words about it but I really liked the movie and recomend every movie fan
see it.

A Green Beret's Response To Gwyneth Paltrow's Comments Comparing Mean Tweets To War
May 30, 2014
Gwyneth Paltrow is catching a lot of flak for comparing negative Twitter comments to "fighting in a war."
Perhaps the best response, however, comes from Green Beret and Purple Heart recipient Bryan Sikes:
Miss Paltrow,
I'd first like to start out by saying how terrible I feel for you and all your friends that on a daily basis have to endure mean words written by people you don't know. I can only imagine the difficulty of waking up in a 12,000 square foot Hollywood home and having your assistant retrieve your iPhone, only to see that the battery is low and someone on twitter (the social media concept that you and all of your friends contribute to on an hourly basis to feed your ego and narcissistic ways), has written a mean word or 2 about you. You've hit the nail on the head, war is exactly like that. You should receive a medal for the burden you have carried on your shoulders due to these meanies on social media.
You said, "Its almost like, how in war, you go through this bloody dehumanizing thing and then something is defined out of it." I could see how you, and others like you in "the biz", could be so insecure and mentally weak that you could pair the difficulty of your life on twitter to my brothers who have had their limbs ripped off and seen their friends shot, blown up, burned and disfigured, or wake up every morning in pain – while just starting the day is a challenge. How about our wives? The ones that sign on to be there for us through thick and thin, that help us to shake the hardships of war upon our return? And do all this while being mothers to our kids, keeping bills in order because we are always gone, and keeping our lives glued together. They do all this, by the way, without a team of accountants, nanny's, personal assistants, and life coaches. Yeah, reading a mean tweet is just like all that.
You know what is really "dehumanizing", Miss Paltrow? The fact that you'd even consider that your life as an "A-list" celebrity reading internet comments could even compare to war and what is endured on the battlefield. You and the other "A-listers" that think like you are laughable. You all have actually convinced yourselves that you in some way face difficulty on a regular basis. Let me be the first to burst your bubble: a long line at Starbucks, your driver being 3 minutes late, a scuff mark on your $1200 shoes and a mean tweet do not constitute difficulty in the eyes of a soldier.
Understand me when I say this: war does not define me. It is a chapter in my life that helped shaped me. Being a husband and father is what defines me. Remember, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never…be close to what war is.

We had one of our worst seasons in the past five years this season. Hot temps, stale birds made for tough hunting. Got to meet some new guys and got to hunt with some as well.
Started out youth opener. My brother and I usually take a couple kids, but this year they were to old. Fella I work with knew of a couple youngster whose dad had to work this year, we offered to take them. To say they had a blast was an understatment. They had hunted before but usually brought no ducks home, today was there first ever limit of ducks. They were big cheesin all morning.
Went after some Cans. Usual dont target them but had an itch. Brother shot a nice drake, mine was dusty. Got to watch the better part of 5,000 cans, wigeon, gaddies and goldies land about 80 yards away. Was a heck of a site.
Had some buddies come to visit and they wanted to deek it up
Slow morning with no wind, afternoon and evening were decent for us
Finished the season on a poor hunt, tons of fog and a story to tell.
ole blu and Rig on the last day of duck season
Heres some randoms from the season
Got into some nice Pinners, they usually dont have nice sprigs up here
This one took the cake, nicest ive seen shot in sconny.
Rig watching us clean up
Had a real slow day goin for us, look up and we have a group of about 8 mallards working with this "ghost" in the mix. He lacked all iridescents and color pigment. Had a bland black head, speculum and rump. He is at the taxi.
Might be my last goose hunt of the year, snowy and cold.
This may be my favorite shot of the season. The mutt chops himself watchin some birds
Packin er up, sad to see it go

Series: Pitt and DePaul meet for the 10th time in series history. Pitt holds a 7-2 advantage in the series which began on Dec. 12, 1936. Since DePaul joined the Big East in 2005-06, Pitt has won seven of the eight league meetings. Pitt is an undefeated 4-0 vs. the Blue Demons in games played at the Petersen Events Center with an average margin of victory of 12.8 points per win. DePaul claimed last year's meeting, an 84-81 loss in Chicago on January 5, 2012.
PITTSBURGH--Riding a three game win streak, Pitt (16-4, 4-3 Big East) hosts DePaul (10-8, 1-4 Big East) for a Saturday, January 26 matchup. Tipoff is at 4 p.m. ET.
The contest will be televised on ESPN Regional and aired locally in Pittsburgh on Root Sports with John Sanders and former Villanova player John Celestand making the call. Bill Shissler will handle production.
The game marks the first of two matchups against DePaul this year. Pitt makes a return trip to Chicago for its final regular season game of the year on March 9. That contest will mark the final Big East regular season matchup between the two schools before Pitt departs for the Atlantic Coast Conference at year's end.
Pitt enters Saturday's matchup after winning four of its last five games and fresh off a 68-64 Tuesday win at Providence. Pitt led for the entire 40 minutes and held off a late PC rally for the victory. Every time Providence cut Pitt's lead down to as few as two points, Pitt responded with field goals. Durand Johnson hit a key 3-pointer with 6:58 to go, Tray Woodall converted a clutch jumper with 23 seconds to go and James Robinson hit two free throws with nine seconds left to seal the win. Pitt won with its offense as it shot 51 percent (26-51) for the game. Lamar Patterson led Pitt with 17 points on a 7-10 shooting night. Pitt defeated PC for the 12th time in the last 13 meetings.
Pitt's win streak also included a 69-61 home win over Connecticut on Jan. 16. Pitt built an early lead in the game and fended off a late Connecticut comeback to register the win. With an impressive first half, Pitt jumped out to a 13-point halftime lead (35-22). In the first half alone, the Panthers limited Connecticut to a 29.2 shooting percent (7-24) and outrebounded the Huskies 23-15. Led by Ryan Boatright, who finished with 20 points, Connecticut battled back with an 8-0 run to tie the game at 55-55 with 4:38 left in the game. But Pitt responded with a 6-1 run sparked by a James Robinson 3-pointer and two free throws and a jumper by Dante Taylor to take a commanding 65-59 lead with 58 seconds left. Lamar Patterson led Pitt with 14 points, Tray Woodall scored 13 points and Robinson finished with 12.
DePaul (10-8, 1-4 Big East) enters the weekend on a three game losing streak to the likes of Connecticut (99-78), Cincinnati (75-70) and St. John's (71-62). Cleveland Melvin (17.6 ppg./7.6 rpg.) and Brandon Young (16.7 ppg./3.7 rpg.) lead the Blue Demons, whose lone Big East win was against Providence (83-73).
Pitt has won 16 of its last 18 home games. It recently completed a 15-game home win streak, which ties for the seventh longest of its kind in school history. Pitt owns a 70-18 all-time record vs. Big East Conference opponents at the Petersen Events Center. Pitt is also 101-3 vs. non-conference opponents at the Petersen Events Center. Pitt has also won 122 of its last 126 home games against regular season non-conference opponents. Since the Petersen Events Center opened in 2002, Pitt owns a 49-1 record in November non-conference home games and has a 48-1 record in December non-conference matchups.
Pitt has won 84 of its last 117 overall games and 89 of its last 123, 233 of its last 308 contests, 99 of its last 150 Big East regular season games and 140 of its last 152 non-conference games.
Pitt enters Saturday's game vs. DePaul on a three-game win streak and winners of four of its last five contests. Pitt has also won three consecutive road games.
A win Saturday would give Pitt its fifth Big East regular season victory, matching last year's total. Pitt has already matched its overall regular season win total from last year (16).
Pitt is in its 11th season in the Petersen Events Center and carries a 175-21 overall record (.893) in the arena. Pitt is also 70-18 all-time vs. Big East opponents at the PEC. The Panthers have won 81 of their last 92 home games and 32 of their last 41 Big East Conference home games.
Over the last 12 years, Pitt has been the Big East Conference's leader in overall winning percentage (310-91, .773), league winning percentage (132-60, .688), Big East Championships (six), Big East Tournament wins (20) and NCAA Tournament appearances (10).

Seeking advice on framing plan
Im building a freestanding screen house in the woods behind my parents cottage, and Im hoping those with some framing experience can comment on whether my framing plan is structurally sound. (I know how this may look being my first post and all, but this isnt just a drive-by posting - Im actually very interested in getting some constructive criticism.)
My objectives in planning this are to minimize the amount of lumber used (since I have to carry it through the woods to the site) and to limit the number/complexity of cuts since theyll be done on site using hand tools. My other objective is to avoid building something that is likely to collapse on my parents.
Additional details:
Looks good
I can't tell if you have (1) or (2) 2x6's as the cross beams front & back that the ceiling joists will rest on ?
Add solid blocking over the bearing on-edge double beams between posts (to prevent rotation) and at the ends over the screening between over-hang blocks in the roof.
Sec. 2326.12.8. Blocking. Roof rafters and ceiling joists shall be supported laterally to prevent rotations and lateral displacement when required by Section 2306.7. Roof trusses shall be supported laterally at points of bearing by solid blocking to prevent rotation and lateral displacement.
Figure the size differently as you will waste 1 full sheet of roof decking in pieces. Use all p.t. wood with water-proofing applied and field painted on all cuts against the snow and rot. # 11, 12: http://www.ufpi.com/literature/ptfaq-204.pdf

Clear it with your Providence Building Department for safety.
Be safe, Gary
Those arent actually double beams, theyre single 2x6s notched into the posts (and will be anchored to the posts with carriage bolts and to the double headers with lag bolts see 1st image below). I thought single 2x6s would be enough since theyre only carrying the weight of the rake overhang, do you think I need to use double 2x6s on each side?
Since the double header and posts provide lateral support at the ends, could I stabilize the rafter girts by adding 2 additional members as shown in 2nd image?
Without the additional roof purlins added, rafters spanning 5-1/2' x 60# (snow load) @16"o.c. = 80# per sq.ft. load A double 2x4, on edge, nailed together spanning 8', will support 47-54# per sq.ft.(Based on 1300-1500 fb) You need to upscale the beams to a single 2x6: 74# (1300 fb) or 85# (1500 fb) or better yet a single 2x8 = 98-113#, ON EDGE, not flat as in the drawing of 2- 2x4's.
Diagonal knee braces at the post tops would help racking of the front, screened only wall.
Be safe, Gary
If a single 2x6 would be enough I'd prefer that to a 2x8 (for aesthetic reasons) - however, an SPF 2x6 (#1 or #2) has 1140 fb, so would probably only support about 65psf (using the ratio of the values you provided). Given 1140 fb, would a double 2x6 (on edge) get me above 80psf?
P.S. I tried to replicate your calculations but I can't figure out what measurement you're working with. I understand where you're getting the 5.5' span and snow load (60psf is dead on btw, assuming 10psf dead load, since the combined ground snow/rain load is 50psf). What I can't figure out is how the distance between rafters comes into it or what the 80psf is measuring exactly (it obviously isn't the load bearing on the surface of the header, which would be more like 1200psf). I'd much appreciate it if you could explain (I don't doubt your math, I'd just like to know for my own interest).
Revised plan:http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/s...ramingplan.jpg
The angle braces need to be twice that size and bolted to be effective: Fig. #22: http://www.lancova.com/deckinfo.pdf
A single 2x6 (SPF) at 1100fb = 63# at 8' span. Double would be fine.......
"What I cant figure out is how the distance between rafters comes into it or what the 80psf is measuring exactly (it obviously isnt the load bearing on the surface of the header, which would be more like 1200psf). Id much appreciate it if you could explain (I dont doubt your math, Id just like to know for my own interest)." ---------- Sorry about that, good catch! I carried the rafter spacing over from previously figuring the rafter loads. (If a 1' over-hang in back, that leaves) 3-1/2' OH in front, total load on the front beam is: 5-1/2' span + 3-1/2' OH = 9' joist span x 8' beam span = 72 sq,ft. x 60# = 4320# total load. This requires a 4x10 beam in front at 1100fb.
The back 1'OH + 5-1/2' = 6-1/2 x 8' x 60# = 3120# requires 2- 2x10's in back. Surprised no one else caught that..... Different if Doug/fir.
Be safe, Gary
There must be more attractive ways of preventing racking than putting 3 foot 2x4s across the windows. What if I half-lapped the braces into the posts and header so they were technically 3 feet long, but only 1 foot actually showed?
(This goes against my avoid-complicated-joints-due-to-lack-of-power-tools objective, but what the hell, chiselling probably builds character.)
Okay, let's see, there arent going to be any free-loaders on my roof, so those two 2x6 purlins I added wont get away with just loafing around resisting the odd lateral force - I expect them to carry their fair share even if I have to tie them down (or up) to make them do it. So, I think you were right about the front joist span being about 5.5 feet - Id put it at 5' 8".
And then theres the rafter girts themselves, theyll take part of the load of the rake overhang, so the beams really only bearing the load from a 7' 3" wide strip down the middle of the roof.
So the front beam is carrying about 41 sq ft of roof, or 2460 lbs - is it safe to assume that 2 2x6's, spaning 8' at 1100fb could handle that?
Of course now I have to worry about whether the 2x6 purlins are up to the task . . .
Would the rafters tie the underlying beams and purlins together so that they function as a single unit in bearing the roof load (sort of like blocking under a floor does)? If they would then it would be okay if the purlins were undersized, provided the beams had enough bearing capacity to pick up the slack.
P.S. Thanks for generously allowing me to waste your time like this, Im sure you have better things to do than fuss over beams in a piddly little screen house :jester:
"P.S. Thanks for generously allowing me to waste your time like this, I'm sure you have better things to do than fuss over beams in a piddly little screen house" ---- Not a waste of time!!! It is great that someone has the incite to ask important and precise questions. It is our pleasure, that's why we're here!
You figured the loads, here is a helpful site I use so you can figure the rest: http://www.awc.org/pdf/wsdd/C2B.pdf
I can help to check your figures, if you don't mind posting them......
Be safe, Gary
I'll definitely post my calculations so you can check them - I think I'll post them more gory detail than you'd need too, since seeing the details of how I did this might come in handy for someone else who needs to work out what minimum beam size they can get away with.
To use a double 2x6 beam in front I'd need 8' 2x6s capable of carrying 1230 lbs each which, according to your tables, would require an Fb of 2000psi (hahaha - that is so not happening with #2 SPF).
To use a triple 2x6 beam the 8' 2x6s would only have to carry 820 lbs each, which would require an Fb of 1300 (might be doable).
Time to get a bit more exact about the Fb values for my beam members. The allowable design value Fʹb = base value (Fb) x applicable design factors (Great link explaining this: Allowable Design Values).
Base Fb for #2 SPF=875Taking these factors into consideration, each member of my triple 2x6 beam would have:
Fʹb = Fb x CD x CF x Cr = 875x1.15x1.3x1.15 = 1500 psi1500 exceeds my requirements, so a triple #2 SPF 2x6 beam will work. (Whew)
The purlins are bearing 1631 lbs each, so they are also undersized - plus, I just realized that I can't load up the purlins without massively beefing up the side rafter girts, so forget that.
Time to re-design with the central roof load falling entirely on the front and rear beams.
Total load on the front beam will be 3878 lbs: 1293 each for 3 2x6s.
Total load on the rear beam is 2900 lbs: 967 each for 3 2x6s.
At F'b of 1500, a 2x6 can bear 945 lbs. So the rear beam is probably okay, but the front beam is once again not strong enough (sigh).
I'll chime in with this. Why have you run your floor joists the 11ft direction not the 8' direction?
I've also just sat back expecting someone to address the severe notches in the posts. Maybe they already have, and I missed it. Are you sure you want to weaken those 6x6 posts by removing such a large amount of them? It seems you are going to exaggerated lengths to design the top layer for big loads, but kind of neglecting the continuous post dimensions required to carry all that weight and to resist lateral wind forces.
Chop those posts up like that, and you no longer really have true 6x6's anymore. Might be real susceptible to snapping at those skinny sections.
1 Attachment(s)
I think I may have run across a solution to my undersized front beam that doesnt require using bigger lumber: sandwiching two sheets of 1/2" CDX between the three 2x6's using construction adhesive and 4' fasteners from both sides (see attached image).
Adding the ply layers "significantly" increases the Fb of the beam (although I can find any info of exactly how much).
But my experience (restoring, not building) with the extreme notching involved in some timber framing may have made me overly blasé about chopping up posts - my notches are a pretty far cry from mortise and tenon joints, so perhaps I should reconsider all the notching and use some deadmen instead.
(But it's just so damn elegant looking to notch it all into place rather than having deadmen clinging awkwardly to every joint :( )
1 Attachment(s)
Yes, a lot of the vertical support is regained with good, snug-fitting, cross-members. But when the inertial moments are stressed, as they would be from side loading wind factors, at least one direction proves to be weaker than the un-notched piece would have been.
I happen to love Timber Framing, and I think (although extra work) mortising in the heads of angle braces and cross-members would be sharp.

Technical Abstract: We used a bugs-in-bags approach to confirm a laboratory finding that the co-application of Helicoverpa armigera granulosis virus (HaGV) with Gypchek (LdMNPV) increased viral mortality at a given dose compared to that resulting from Gypchek applied alone. We applied Gypchek and the granulosis virus in various combinations against several gypsy moth instars under field conditions (with a Blankophor BBH + Gypchek treatment included as a comparison of virus enhancers), and determined the residual effects of the treatments over a 3-wk period. The addition of HaGV at 1% to Gypchek resulted in a log increase in observed mortality, confirming the laboratory finding of such potentiation. The addition of Blankophor BBH at 1% resulted in a two-log increase in observed mortality. The addition of HaGV at a lower dose of 0.1% resulted in no consistent increase in recorded mortality, and 1% granulosis virus applied alone was inactive against gypsy moth. The residual activity of Gypchek was little enhanced by the addition of the granulosis virus at either dose.

Stevie and Ian #3
No matter how awesome the riding in Whistler and Pemberton is, it's gone once the snow hits. Spending copious amounts of time with Steve this summer I really noticed a few weak spots in his training program, so Mikey and I headed to Vancouver Island to guide him to further World Cup wins. Checking out the forecast before we were headed out, it looked to be the rainiest 4 days in recent memory. So I grabbed a 15 pack of Lucky and we headed off to check out the Island life. Growing up in Whistler I've been exposed to sick trails, rowdyism, bonfires, chainsaws, fireworks and many other exciting activities, but nothing would prepare me for the Island.
Waking up to the sound of pouring rain on the roof is not the greatest motivator to roll out of your warm dry bed, but with Mikey at the helm there is no slacking on the 6 am start time. After a half an hour of hydroplaning down the Island Highway we arrived at Mount Provost. The term wet does not describe the next 4 days of shooting and the thought of building an ark crossed my mind more than once during our days of shooting.
In the end it was a memorable trip to Vancouver Island: the trails were filled with hero dirt for miles and the locals showed us their amazing bowling skills. Dreams were crushed, cops were called, urinals were broken and I can't wait to get back there. I am sure Steve's neighbours are not looking forward to my return.
Slow mo fully justified… holy shit if that didn't get you amped, something's wrong.
Mark Matthews - Jan. 15, 2013, 1:19 a.m.
So sick! I was riding with Stevie this weekend and always impressed with how well rounded he is. Destroys the downhill and still gets down on the jumps, its awesome to see!
stephenmatthews - Jan. 14, 2013, 12:55 p.m.
That was awesome.
Big gulps huh? Well, see you later

Let's not also forget the smell of fresh, crisp snow! :)
^ first snow smells lovely. :smitten:
Well, my christmas smells are pine, hyacinth, mince pies, candles and gingerbread.
Weird as it sounds, but PAINT. My dad made it a point to paint our house in a new color every Christmas time.
They just opened a Bath & Bodyworks at the mall right by my house, and they have a wide array of WONDERFUL 'Holiday' scented Candles.
My favorites are the Snow Apple Mint and Fresh Balsam - they're both so strongly connected to Christmas!!! :)
Also (and I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet!) the smell of a Turkey roasting in the oven!
The smell of the cookies I bake, the day I start decorate home for Christmas...
When 1st day is over and have almost finish with living room, I go to the kitchen and
start baking my fav chocolate chip cookies. Late in the night, I put them in Christmas jars...
Honestly, that smell takes me back to my childhood... :smitten:
love your picture gingerbread girl! such a beautiful setting and gets me all festive! :elf1:
the smell of pine needles when you walk down the street past the xmas tree stalls or when u finally get one in your front room! :christmastree:
also mulled wine is sooo good..:tree:
Hands down, the smell of Struffoli. Christmas Honey Balls. I remember standing around as a kid waiting for them to finish..

I am thinking about buying a Netgear WG511T card for my laptop.
is this a good choice for me? I have a brand new Dell Inspiron with 1.8ghz processor, blah blah blah.
Just looking to use whatever I buy
for Exclusive use with Kismet in Backtrack2/3. I (unfortunately) use Windows XP as my regular OS, so the card needs to be compatible with both OS's, and (obviously) needs to be able to be put into RF monitor mode.
Any help would be massively appreciated!!!

|© Alexandra Wallace, 2014.
I've been getting pretty slow at putting up photos these days, but I think this entire wedding can make up for it. If you're not completely filled with warm fuzzy feelings at this point, let me give you a little backstory before you do a rewind and look at these again.
I met Kenny when I was fourteen years old; it was seriously the first month of high school for me, and I got invited to a birthday party where I knew only one other person. [I am not a party person in the slightest.] Over the years, Kenny became one of my closest friends; even through his moves to different states and parts of California, we managed to keep up a pretty great pen-pal friendship. Even some of the best people in a lifetime let you down at some point, but Kenny never has - he has been a true blue friend over the past eight years, and for that, I am extremely grateful.
A little over a year ago, The Postal Service came to town. [Not this one, that one.] Kenny was living at Washington at this point, and gave me a call, asking if I was planning to go. He said that he was coming back down to California with his girlfriend, and hinted at that she was someone we needed to meet. Through some wonderful twists of fate [thank you, Trumbull!], my boyfriend and I managed to get tickets to the sold-out show, and meet them there. Kenny introduced us to Peyton, and first impressions included how nice she was, how she obviously had great music taste, and, added bonus, she had the exact same phone case as I did. [Let me elaborate: We both had an obscure elephant design that is available through an independent artists' website. What are the odds??] That weekend, we also joined them for lunch, and I got to take these photos, which they insisted were not to be mistaken for engagement photos, but...I mean, let's refresh our memories of the adorable, here:
It was not so long after, that after I jokingly texted Kenny about weddings, that I found out he was planning to propose to Peyton. Not only propose, but super-propose.
Are you in tears yet?
Okay, so after this Superbowl of a proposal, I was lucky enough to be asked to get involved, and be their wedding photographer! These two bought us round trip train tickets up to Washington [my first ever real train ride!], and so not only did we get to see the wedding of the year, but we also got some gorgeous scenic views!
|Christopher and I had some amazing views out of our train car window! Check out our Instagram accounts for more! @thelittlealli @chrislambertmusic
For the wedding itself, I want the photos to mostly speak for themselves; it was a tender and emotional event, but not without a whole lot of laughter and personality. I was thrilled that the two of them wanted to do a first look before the wedding, and from there, it only got better! Peyton and her bridesmaids had bouquets from the flower vendors in Pike Place, the groomsmen wore matching PF Flyers a la The Sandlot, and the ceremony was graced with vocal renditions by family and friends of classic Beatles hits. [Peyton walked down the aisle to 'Something', and just thinking about it again makes me well up.]
I have seen a lot of weddings, and I'm going to see a lot more [even in just this year alone!], but this was one will always have a special place among all the others.
With love, Kleenex, and smiles,

Insulation question.....
I have an unfinished 2nd level to a cape style home. Ceilings are cathedral style and rise to a point. All insulation (R19)was installed to the peak with the foam airflow installed from eaves to the ridge vent. No problems. Originally having collar ties at about the 9' height. I didn't like the look of the collars so contacted an engineer and was able to put collar ties about a 3rd of the way down creating a flat ceiling and removing the 9' collar ties. No problem again, but my question is since the insulation was installed to the peak originally do I need to put insullation on the now flat part of the ceiling or will it be fine as it is? It's about a 4' distance down from the peak to the new ceiling location. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ralph, wise of you to have consulted the Engr.
If you still have easy access I would remove insul at top area and reuse above the new ceiling plane. (pull lose from the top add more proper vent at your new wall ceiling intersection.) Score facing on insul where it over laps. (maybe add a little more unfaced on top) I would add a gable end vent.
Why? Elementary heat transfer theory. Conduction, Convection, & Radiation.
I'm from the keep the shingles as cool as you can school for longest possible life. Also ( Vapor barrier and insul should be as close as possible to your conditioned space.)
Big Bob
Thanks for the explanation...it makes total sense. I still have some access but I am curious...1) if I didn't add any insulation the the new flat roof would that cause any problems? and 2)if I did add insulation to the flat roof and left the insulation on the pitched roof section above would that cause any problems? Thanks for your input.
1. you would be subject to faster heat gain and loss in this area.
2. your shingles will cook when they do not have to. If you insulate both areas, be sure you add a gable end vent. The K factor of insulation is measured at a various RH levels.. the higher the RH the higher the K factor... the higher the K factor: means the lower the R value benefit you receive.
I hope the above is not too muddy.
Do you have any ridge or off ridge vent through the roof?
I do have a full lenght ridge vent but no end vents.
I had a similar situation at my place.
It had R12 to the peak, so when I finished to the collar ties I insulated with R20. (ties were 2X6) before installing the drywall.
Then, I pulled the roof insulation down and laid it transverse on top of the R20.
This gave me a total R value of R32.
Made a big change in my heating and cooling bill!

I love getting notes in the mail, they are always so fun, although right now I'm too busy to even send an email, I always find time for blogging though! ;) Good job on your lists and way to get that credit card paid off, that's the best feeling!!ReplyDelete
You did a very good job for June. And I'm sure you'll keep it up into July!! Good luck with it all.ReplyDelete
Girl you have been busy! Good for you! Great goals too. I had to end my love with the tanning bed a few years ago, and I will admit t was hard but I am sure one day I will be thankful. I am now faithfully devoted to Loreal Sublime tan.ReplyDelete
We have a problem with making the bed too. It doesn't get done mostly because Knox is still in it. You're doing a great job at your list!ReplyDelete
Good goals for July! I totally am guilty I've been meaning to wash my car but I haven't. I should make a to do list too! I have one from AGE's ago on my blog but never got to alot of it since it's house stuff. I did the Shred this morning! I think I'm going to try to do it for the whole 30 days!ReplyDelete
Those are great goals! Good job on x-ing out the tanning beds. Spray tans is much healthier.ReplyDelete
Go girl! I'm such a goal oriented person. I love it.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh getting my credit card paid off was the BEST feeling!! I'm with you on the making the bed daily.. It's something I've been working on.. I have a tendency to push snooze 5 too many times and it usually gets put on the back burner in the AM routine! Great job on accomplishing so many of your goals!!ReplyDelete
#1: I tan, and I don't judge you for doing so either! Everyone feels good with a little glow (especially one that won't rub off on your clothes) #2: I LIVE to make the bed in the morning, it seriously makes me so happy. Congrats on knocking out that to-do list. Next to making the bed, crossing off a to-do list is an all time pleasure of mine. Can you tell I'm type A?ReplyDelete
Just wanted to add my verification word was GATES, like BILL GATES. I think it means I'm going to become very rich...ReplyDelete
I'm reading "The Help" right now too...I'm enjoying it!ReplyDelete

"Hot Dottie" Retro Cuties Dress
4 Recommendations
retrocuties's recommendation
Straight out of the 50's, you'll love this flirty a-line dress. Made from an ultra soft brushed stretch twill fabric with a polka dot ruched bust panel, and featuring a wide halter strap. The skirt hem is finished off with an adorable satin trimmed ruffle. 96% cotton 4% lycra body, poly accents and trim.
My Collections:
TLFricchione's recommendation
I recommended this dress for a friend to wear to a wedding. She was in her 40's and wanted a young look. She needed the Large and it fit like a glove! It helped show off her waist and was a very flattering look for her. The detail on the bust made it just dressy enough for a wedding. She could not stop saying how comfortable she was the whole night wearing it and thanked me so much for showing her the Retro Cuties website.
Sniffymama's recommendation
Love the frilly skirt and bustled chest! Super girly!
LuvliBunny's recommendation
I bought this dress for a spring wedding and it fit perfectly. The flare of the skirt and bussle at the chest helped to mask my body flaws. I got lots of compliments on it all night. I plan to buy more from them because the quality and style are unmatched.

Trooper Jeffrey Bebak (BEE'-bak) says a state police bomb disposal team is using a robot to remove items from the car that was stopped earlier this morning. Bebak says two men are being questioned by police but he has no other details. The robot was seen removing three packages from the car and depositing them next to the vehicle. The street has been blocked off. The Buffalo News reports that police say the car was occupied by brothers who had what appeared to be proper Massachusetts identification. The response came amid an intense manhunt in Massachusetts one of the Boston Marathon bombers. Homeland Security, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and NY State Police are assisting in the ongoing investigation.
Contents have been taken out of the car and a flatbed is on scene to possibly tow the vehicle. A State Police robot pulled about three large black backpacks and what appeared to be a white bag from the back of the vehicle. Police call the bags suspicious at this point. Police said that around 8 a.m., a resident called in a tip about a suspicious vehicle in the area of 19th Street and Elmwood Avenue. The vehicle was pulled over and two individuals inside were detained. The vehicle has Massachusetts license plates, but no connection to any news out of Boston this week has been confirmed.
