One night after a few days on the job, you're approached by the Head Keeper of the zoo and asked to walk around to check everything's okay. It would be if it wasn't for the missing wombat!Wombat is a competently produced adventure with some interesting puzzles. However, I have two criticisms: I found the majority of the adventure was just a mapping exercise, with too little to do in many places.Secondly, I was rather frustrated that programmer Mike Gerrard decided to use a wodge of memory putting 'clever' messages into the response table. Thus, if you input particular names and so on, you'll be treated to a 'witty' comment. This ploy was fine for John Wilson's irreverent Behind Closed Doors series but I felt Mike could have used the available memory improving the game rather than wasting it on a part of the game no-one, bar the few members of the 'In crowd', will ever see.I can't take a game seriously when such excessive, irrelevant, padding is used to fill a few hundred (thousand?) bytes. Not bad, but should have been a hell of lot better.Overall 61%Contact Point: 26 Spotland Tops, te, Rochdale, Lance OL12 7NX

|Thanks -- I did order a replacement control board from RepairClinic. If things aren't cool within a day or two of install, I'll certainly consider returning the board.
What I'm really worried about (if somewhat ignorant) is that the control board failure is due to some other undiagnosed component problem, and that the new control board (at $175) is going to conk out again in the near future.
I guess at this point, if I can eke another two years out of this washer/drier set, I'll happily pass them along to whoever buys this home from us, and make a better purchase decision at the time. (i.e., those bastards at Maytag and Lowe's are not going to see ONE RED CENT of my washer budget.)
Having perused the site, I'm quite taken with the Staber washer, and wonder whether there's some hidden disappointment lurking there. After years of grousing about over-complicated consumer appliances and electronics, here's someone who's building appliances designed for sustainability (in all senses of the word.) Color me impressed.
Now to convince the wife this is a reasonable investment (she is the sticker-shock type) and sort out how to squeeze one of those bad boys into our miniature-sized laundry room. There's a reason we bought a cheap pair of stackers in the first place...


text: MESA, Ariz., April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Salt River Project (SRP) and SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR) today are dedicating a one-megawatt solar photovoltaic power plant at Arizona State University's (ASU) Polytechnic campus in Mesa, Ariz. The facility is the first commercial deployment of the SunPower® C7 Tracker (C7 Tracker) technology, a solar photovoltaic tracking system that concentrates the sun's power seven times to achieve one of the lowest levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) for solar power plants available today. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130405/AQ89272) SunPower engineered and constructed the plant on the southeast corner of the ASU Polytechnic campus, and is currently operating and maintaining it. The plant is expected to produce an amount of energy equal to that needed to serve about 225 SRP customers' homes and requires minimal water use. According to estimates provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the system will offset the production of 1,277 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, the equivalent of removing 241 passenger vehicles from Arizona roads each year. Under a purchase-power agreement, SRP is buying the entire output of the solar plant from SunPower. ASU is purchasing the power from SRP for use at its Polytechnic campus under a separate agreement. "At SRP we continue to look for new and innovative ways to diversify our portfolio with sustainable sources of energy that best serve our customers in a cost-effective way," said John Sullivan, SRP's chief resource executive. "SunPower's C7 Tracker system is a promising technology that we expect to provide these benefits." The C7 Tracker combines single-axis tracking technology with rows of parabolic mirrors, reflecting light onto high performing SunPower Maxeon® solar cells, with an efficiency of 22.8 percent. The 1-megawatt C7 Tracker power plant at ASU will require only 172 kilowatts of SunPower solar cells when corresponding to a geometric concentration ratio of seven to one and a power-based ratio of six to one.

windows fogging at idle in rain - with A/C ON
Just as the title states - when sitting at a light with the A/C on, windows up, and its raining, the windows will fog up like mad. Even hitting the defroster doesn't work as well as one would think. Once I get moving, they clear out - but it still pisses me off, and it is dangerous at night.
Anyone have the same issue?
I'm convinced it's something to do with the automatic climate control. My car does this from time to time, too. The a/c is shutting off for some reason. There's a thread on here about humid air bursts from the a/c...it's the same problem.
Try using only the defroster, defroster won't clear as fast when the a/c was just going.
it's probably switching from vent to recirculation, when you turn on the defrost, a/c kicks on and may kick on the recirc. i think vent is what you want.
I have the same problem and have all along.
I complained once to my dealer, and of course, "could not duplicate" was the response. It seems like, on my car, this occurs when the car isn't under much load--i.e. idling at a traffic light or I've had the a/c cut off while cruising at 65. Have you noticed any patterns?
Make sure you have the recirc button turned off. In any car, this can cause fogged windows when the weather is damp.
From the owner's manual:
I have issues with my drivers window fogging up way to easily, and staying fogged up.
Usually it happens when it is rainy out but thats not the only time.
I never use recirculated air, and it usually happens when the defrosters are on. I usually have to open the window which only slightly helps and makes me cold in the process. Sometimes turning off the defrosters helps, sometimes it doesnt.
Ive never seen a vehicle fog up like this one.

Circuit des associations musicales du Québec (CAMQ), the competitive drum corps arm of Fédération des Associations Musicales du Québec (FAMQ), is planning for a radical overhaul of its sponsored events for the coming drum corps season.
Faced with a continued downsizing of the activity in Quebec, one that leaves the province with only four existing drum and bugle corps, the association is ready to experiment with new formulas in both the presentation and judging of its events. Martin Labelle, president of the Les Étoiles organization, who also acts as the circuit's president, explained what challenges the circuit faced in attempting to shape a competitive schedule for the coming season.
"With only four corps, it is impossible to hold a contest proper," he said. "Corps directors therefore voted to abolish the rule that forced all events to be of a competitive nature." The new ruling will allow for various types of presentations to take place at Quebec's drum corps events during the 2002 season.
"No more timing and penalties, no more minimum or maximum," Labelle said. "Corps can add features such as charts they play in parades, individual presentations, choral pieces. Corps can now do anything they want."
At a meeting held in conjunction with the FAMQ-sponsored Individual and ensemble provincial contest held in Montreal on May 4, corps directors and judges also discussed ways of changing the type of judging done at the CAMQ-sponsored events.
According to Mark Kozma, who currently heads the CCE (Commission d'Éducation et Évaluation) that regroups FAMQ judges and instructors, discussion centered on whether "evaluation was necessary for the new format for shows in Quebec this summer." Kozma, contacted through e-mail interviews, further stated that "after an excellent debate (proponents of each side produced their point of view), it was agreed that there is still a need for evaluation, no matter what format the circuit decides for their 'galas.' This was not a unanimous decision, but a consensus was agreed to."
Individual corps updates
The CAMQ had no choice but to adopt a new style of events given the disastrous off-season just experienced by the Quebec drum corps community. Of the three existing division III corps that competed at the 2001 DCI Championships in Buffalo, only Stentors remained unscathed. For the coming season, Sentinnelles and Sénateurs have established a protocol for collaboration that will see the two corps merging into a new entity named Alliance for their competitive activities.
The two organizations nevertheless continue to operate independently for all other aspects of their functioning. Two non-field drum and bugle corps, La Relève de Fleurimont, a feeder for Les Stentors, and Pers-Clairs of Sainte-Hyacinthe, will also appear at CAMQ-sponsored events.
Two more organizations had attempted to establish competitive units for the coming summer.
Chevaliers-Ambassadeurs of Rimouski/Rivière-du-Loup recently folded for undisclosed reasons.
A brand new organization established in the fall of 2001, La Renaissance Drum Corps of Chambly, successfully fielded two competitive guards this past winter, but was unable to get its two planned drum and bugle corps off-ground, as a result of what Martin Labelle described as…

After a few months of research and asking questions I opted for LaserLyte Sub Compact Laser Sight. I have had it for a few months now and love it. It functions better than advertised it puts a bright red dot on your target in any lighting conditions except bright direct sunlight. Even then if your target is in the shadows it will light it up. I would not rely on it on a clear sunny day but just about any other time including overcast days or any indoor lighting condition target acquisition is instantaneous. It lists for $149. but I got it for about $90 and change at my local gun shop, East County Guns. While at the gun shop I compared it to the Lasermax UNI and the Insight X2. Obviously it is much smaller than the Insight X2 which has a flashlight that I liked but it did not have a laser only option which I did not like. The laserLyte was brighter than both of the others. LaserMax's rail mount Uni Laser is about the same size but made out of plastic with a big LaserMax emblem on it. Looked gadgety to me. The LaserLyte Sub Compact Laser Sight is CNC machined aircraft grade aluminum simple rectangle shape with the edges beveled to prevent snags. K&D Holsters has no problem making a holster to accommodate it. To me it looks like it was made for my XD.45 compact. You can check it out at LaserLyte Sub Compact Laser Sight. Below is a pic of it
As you can see it is tiny
Here it is on my XD
There is a screw that mounts to thread thru the rail slots. In this pic I had used the middle one. Later I learned that if I used the forward one it lines up and sets flush with the gun's edge. Makes it look more like part of the gun if that matters.
The only issue is you need to put blue locktite on the adjustment screws or it will lose POA. Mine lost POA after about 500 rounds without the locktight. To para phrase a gentleman on another sight the adjustment screws are about the size of a ant's nuts so it is a pain to get it sighted right took me about 20 minutes or so. Since I added the locktite it has stayed solid as a rock.
I had an issue with it the last week. When the battery was getting low it functioned as advertised and the red laser dot pulsed for over two hours before dying, I left it on to time it. Than, I hogged out the screw while replacing the battery. I figured I would have to drill the screw out or use an easy out. I called LaserLyte to see about getting a replacement screw. Before I got done explaining the problem the lady had my name and shipping info. Than said a new one was on its way to me. No questions asked! Except that she asked that I put the old one in the prepaid envelope that would be with my new LaserLyte and send it back to them so they could figure out what happened. Never have I had better customer service. This is a great well made product with premier grade A number one customer service. I got the brand new replacement laserlyte as promised on Friday including the extra set of batteries. I would rate LaserLyte customer as VIP premier customer service as I can not imagine how it could be any better. Lisa even sounded pleased to be able to send me the replacement like she was doing me a favor.

This pillow wraps around your waist for a secure fit while you feed your baby. It also has latch risers to help ensure a proper latch for breastfeeding babies. Pockets help store items needed while feeding baby.

This nursing pillow is praised for being firmer than most other pillows, which allowed moms to sit up more. Though it is a bit wider than others, which can help alleviate some of the back pain that can come with breastfeeding. This is also great for arm support. You don't have to worry about the weight of your arms sinking into the pillow. The cover is 100% cotton, the inside is polyester.

The Bebe Au Lait pillow is open, and therefore has the ability to be used for all body shapes and sizes, or simply those who don't want a pillow that wraps around your body. This pillow has two sides, one is firm, the other is soft, allowing you and your baby to decide what works, feeding by feeding. There is a padded, adjustable waist strap, for when you want to move but lack hands. You don't have to use that. Both the pillow and the slip cover are machine washable. The cover is 100% cotton, and the body is 90% cotton, 10% polyester.

The Boppy was not originally designed as a nursing pillow, however, it has come to be used quite frequently for this purpose. Many moms really love the dual use of the Boppy as a nursing pillow and a baby toy. The one complaint about the Boppy for nursing is that it doesn't fit all moms around the waist. Lots of colors and patterns and now removable covers on some models.

The Utterly Yours Breast Pillow is a bit different than most breastfeeding pillows. This one supports your breast for hands free nursing rather than supporting the baby. This is a great gift for a new mom and works really well for mothers with larger breasts.

If you are looking for a multi-tasking pillow, this one might be perfect for you. The One Z Waterproof Nursing Pillow is made from a soft waterproof material and is a wrap around pillow that offers back support. It's meant to be used, not only for breastfeeding, but tummy time, support for your baby, and play time.

Dr. Brown's Gia Nursing Pillow has a cotton shell with polyester fill. It's an open pillow to give you more freedom in choosing your positions. You can drop this in the washer and dryer and it still retains it's shape. That's easy clean up! One end is thick for more support and the other end is thinner for less support or prop. You can also use it to position baby. You can also purchase covers separately.

Skunked yesterday and leaders
Got out a bit early from work yesterday, so I decided to hit a local stocked trout stream.
It was no secret, as I had some remote hope of. There were 15 cars there when I got there, but there was plenty of room to fish. It was stocked by VA DNR on Thursday morning. It was picked over and swept clean pretty quick.
I managed to get a strike once, but he spit the hook.
The upside was that I got to cast my 2wt that I got for Christmas. The St. Croix Legend Ultra casted nicely, although I did fight a 4-5 mph breeze pushing from upstream. Man, I need to get some more leaders before my big spring trip.
The cheapest leaders I have found (mono, tapered leaders) were $2.75 each. Anyone know of a better deal?
Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
that is a good price for leaders. why do you feel a need to find cheaper ones? how much did you pay for your rod? how much for the reel? in comparison, why the need to find something cheaper? some people use the same leader all season. are you "going through" leaders? are you using straight taper tippet at the end of the leader and before the fly? that is the section which is cut back in stages (while changing or losing flies) and then replaced, thereby never needing to touch the leader once one is attached.
i usually buy a three pack of 9' 5x leaders from SA for about $10 for my main trout fishing setup. IF i end up cutting it back beyond the tippet, it eventually turns into a 7' 4x leader. and i rarely touch that third leader in the pack by years' end unless i give one to a buddy.

Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
I just try to get the best bargains.
I started last year with two each of 4X, 5X & 6X. One of each lasted the year. I like to have backups. Yes, I do tie tippet material when I get back a 2-3 feet on the leader (and they start at 9 footers). I've never extended the 9 feet because of some of smaller streams I fish at. I keep one (1) extra around as a practice leader for the backyard.
Only one of my rods cost me more than $100, the rest were between $60-$90 shipped. That is not to say they are cheap quality. The reels I never paid more than $40 for.
I don't have alot of money to throw around so if I am going to be in this sport (and I AM going to be in this sport), then I have to do it frugally. And, it's also balanced out on how much I get to fish. If I was on the water 45+ days a year, it would be different. I'm damn lucky to get 2 weeks a year, all told. As time moves on and I'm able to fish more, I will upgrade materials as necessary.
Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
Wish I could find a deal like that for leaders! I only have two sizes now! And not much money to spend on fishing stuff... :icon_sad: I don't remember what I paid for the leaders I got a couple weeks ago, but I think it was about $4 or $5 for two 2x Orvis Super Strong leaders. Then bought tippet too. Gets expensive if you want to use a variety of sizes! haha
Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
Hi axle27,
If you measure a tippet on a new 9' leader you will find that the tippet is only about 20" long. When you leader gets 18' to 22" gone it is time to tie on a new tippet. Or better yet, put a loop at the 20" mark and loop your tippets on. To really know where you tippet stops you need to measure it. For sure it is not 36" long.
Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
good luck in your search for leaders cheaper than what you mentioned. i understand watching your expenses, really i do, but it seems to me IF you find cheaper prices than that, the stuff may be out-dated stock someone is trying to unload on the ultra-frugal and super-unwary.
perhaps you should look into making your own tapered leaders. after the initial investment, you'll come out ahead. someday. lol it just seems to me you could save money in another area, another part of your life.
fresno, ca.
Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
I feel ya. Skimp in some places to get other things. Management of priorities. I'd probably do a tied leader, but I'd have to get alot better in my blood knots. Sometimes, I feel like I spend more time tying that at the stream's edge than I do fishing.
As usual, you are absolutely correct. I wasn't for sure of the distance, so I just put out the 36" number for discussion sake. I have a 5X that has a couple of wind knots in it. I'm going to measure it and add what is necessary from tippet material. If it's too long, I'll taper it with other, thicker tippet material.
I'm learning.....and you guys are always a great help.
Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
Boy, I guess the economy really is bad.
Re: Skunked yesterday and leaders
Hello axle, you could try the double surgeon's knot for building your own leaders, loop them at both ends then add tippet to the business end, also with a loop. That way you can changed tippet quickly as the situation dictates and even if the tippet section gets short, you can add a piece of the same X with the same double surgeon's knot. The fish won't know.

Egypt Bans Female Genital Mutilation
Posted on Jun 28, 2007
Female genital mutilation, known euphemistically as "female circumcision," has been banned completely in Egypt following the death of a girl. Although a soft ban has been in place for 10 years, some studies estimate that 90 percent of Egyptian women have had the procedure. Government and religious leaders have joined in condemning the practice.

#82286 sunken ship must refer to the HMS Fowey. The same protection for boys? Actually, male circumcision is protection for boys. Inform yourself on its various medical benefits!
By sunkenship, June 28, 2007 at 10:58 pm Link to this comment
While I applaud this measure, I wonder why they ban all forms of female circumcision, including the sunna circumcision, which doesn't remove the clitoris, just the hood. This circumcision is analogous to male circumcision, which is widely practiced in Egypt.
If all forms of female circumcision have been banned, they should offer the same protection to boys.

Focus Fusion Launches Campaign To Empower the World: Clean Energy For All
May 6, 2014 05:01 AM - The Focus Fusion Society
On May 6th, 2014 the Focus Fusion Society will be launching the largest clean energy campaign to date on the IndieGoGo platform. The crowd funding will be used to assist physics research group Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) to crack the final science challenge in the way of break-even fusion. Getting more energy out of fusion than is put in is considered the "Holy Grail" of fusion research and it has eluded mainstream government-funded groups for decades. LPP has taken an unconventional approach and their results to date have been leading the field. An independent review conducted by a team including a former head of the US Fusion program, Dr. Robert L. Hirsch, stated that LPP's "... approach to fusion power has considerable merit and that a much higher level of investment is warranted, based on their considerable progress to date."

Boyle says Asperger's diagnosis was a relief
Susan Boyle says Asperger's diagnosis was a relief
LONDON — Singer Susan Boyle says she has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism — and feels relief at finally having the right label for her condition.
Boyle told the Observer newspaper that she saw a specialist a year ago, who told her she had Asperger's and an above-average IQ.
Boyle, 52, had learning difficulties as a child, which she was told were the result of brain damage from oxygen deprivation at birth. She struggled in school and was bullied by other children.
"I have always known that I have had an unfair label put upon me," Boyle said in the interview, published Sunday.
"Now I have a clearer understanding of what's wrong and I feel relieved and a bit more relaxed about myself."
The church volunteer from a small Scottish town became a global sensation when she sang the "Les Miserables" number "I Dreamed a Dream" on TV contest "Britain's Got Talent" in 2009.
The contrast between her shy manner and soaring voice won Boyle legions of fans. She has sold more than 14 million records around the world and recently released her fourth album, "Home for Christmas." She makes her big-screen debut in holiday movie "The Christmas Candle."
Boyle has occasionally struggled with the pressures of fame, and was treated for nervous exhaustion soon after her stint on "Britain's Got Talent."
The singer said she was glad she, and others, would now have a better understanding of the struggles she experiences.
"I would say I have relationship difficulties, communicative difficulties, which lead to a lot of frustration. If people were a bit more patient, that would help," she told the newspaper.
"Asperger's doesn't define me. It's a condition that I have to live with and work through, but I feel more relaxed about myself. People will have a much greater understanding of who I am and why I do the things I do."

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Typewriters and a desk from the home of the original author of the Nancy Drew mystery books, along with a book detailing how the series was created, were auctioned in Ohio on Sunday.
The items were among a lifetime of keepsakes, including autographed posters and writing awards, belonging to Mildred Wirt Benson that sold at an auction in Toledo, where she was a newspaper reporter and columnist for nearly 60 years before her death a decade ago.
Benson wrote more than 130 books, including the 1940s Penny Parker mystery series, but she is best known for the Nancy Drew books that inspired and captivated generations of girls. She wrote 23 of the 30 original Nancy Drew stories using the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. Paid $125 per book, she never collected any royalties.
Benson died in 2002 at 96 and left her home and possessions to her only daughter, Peggy Wirt, who died in January.
A copy of "Rediscovering Nancy Drew" that details how the series was created and was inscribed for her daughter drew a gavel price of $2,150 Sunday.
A typewriter went for $825, and a desk for $525. A 10-book set by science-fiction writer Andre Norton, who had a personal relationship with Benson, was also auctioned. Nine of the 10 books were signed to Benson and the collection, along with some letters, had a gavel price of $3,200.
Auctioneer Jade Montrie, who handled the estate sale said a few hundred of Benson's signed and canceled checks went for $900.
A typewriter that Benson used to write the Nancy Drew stories was donated to the Smithsonian Institution years ago. Her daughter left a collection of her mother's books to the University of Iowa, which was Benson's alma mater.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Healthy Eating
Here you will find tons of information about healthy eating and incorporating the principles of healthy nutrition into your daily life. Built around Dr. Cederquist's nutritional foundation for healthy weight loss, these articles place a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
It's important to eat foods high in protein because proteins are part of every cell, tissue and organ in our bodies and protein is absolutely necessary to build and maintain our body's structures like our muscles, tendons, ligaments our circulatory system, brain, organs, immune system and skin.
Protein and weight-loss
If there are insufficient carbohydrates and protein in the food you eat, your body will break down lean body tissue for the proteins it needs and convert them to carbohydrates for energy. If there is a deficiency of protein, however, your body will basically eat its lean mass for the energy to burn its fat mass.
This is why it's so important to eat meals with foods high in protein throughout the day. You don't want your body to turn to lean tissues for energy.
To add more delicious protein into your diet, try these foods high in protein.
The number one sources of protein
Keep in mind that these foods won't be helpful unless you eat the proper portion sizes.
- Meat
Meat has always been the go-to source of protein for the human diet. Generally, meats that are low in fat are high in protein.
- Fish
Fish is an excellent addition to any diet. It's not only high in protein, but it's also high in many other nutrients, like omega-3's.
Nuts are also high in protein. Nuts are a great snack to have on hand throughout the day and they have many health benefits as well.
- Dairy products
Dairy products such as eggs, milk and cheese all contain protein, but in varying amounts.
- Beans
Beans are one of the most popular foods that are high in protein and low in fat. Within this category are a number of soy-based meat substitutes like tofu and tempeh, all of which are made from bean sources and are rich in protein.

07 Fozzy XT Limited
Hi all,
It's been over 2 years since my last confes..... <-- Like NEVER
Wait, it's been 2 years since I've owned a Suby. Picked up an 07 Forester XT with 82K on the clock for the wife and I love it. LOL
Get this. Tag was 15995.00, my trade it was ~6500.00 (05 Murano, title in hand).
Told NP Suby since this was my 4th car from them, they needed to sweeten the deal.
Here's what they did:
Got over 2100.00 in maint done for me (tires,drive belts,filters,wipers,brakes and last but not least the timing belt). He actually gave me the list and prices the service dept changed them (which isn't much of a discount from what he says and I believe him).
Gave me access to the paintless dent removal guy in 2 weeks. A few mishaps here n there.
6 free oil changes (which I only get the filters like normal), free fill-up and a free detail.
Anywho, out the door financed 10200.00 at 5.2%
Not too shabby for an AUTOMATIC.
Anyways, I'll post pics when the wife gets back from her sisters house.
3 years ago I looked EVERYWHERE for an '07 WRB FXT that was not automatic. If I had I would not be driving a WRX right now. I only found 2 for sale and they were both autos. :(
It's actually pretty nice. They aren't as bad as the auto (04-05) WRX's I've driven in the past, wonder why ?
Paul, just make sure this FXT doesn't meet the ass end of a boulder. lol, you'll want to soup it up. I'm sure....if the wife lets you.
HAHAHAHA.... Where's the drum set emoticon when I need it
BTW... It was moving.... lol
Nahh, not going to do anything other than a "stg1" OS tune
Like she knows what the throttle even is. Had to pound it in her head "IT TAKES SUPER UNLEADED ONLY"
You are once again not a Mazda troll, congrats!
[quote=BLAZE2099;273237]You are once again not a Mazda troll, congrats![/quote]
Nope he isn't, just a troll now....LOL I kid, I kid..:p
Congrats Paul. Im hoping to upgrade one of my WRXs for a Fozzy here in a few years.
If the wife lets ya^;)
+1 to the Fozzy.....I love my wifes.
[quote=BLAZE2099;273253]If the wife lets ya^;)[/quote]
You hit the nail right on the head there my friend. She wont let me get rid of mine at all. And she doesnt want to get rid of heres most the time when we talk about it for some reason. But 2 kids, and 2 dogs, a fozzy makes alot more sense than a WRX right now.
I'm still a Mazda troll.... hahaaha
It has it's blemishes.... who's doesn't? Looking forward to beach time this coming summer with my newborn and 7yr old.
well done!...looking forward to some pics!
"New" news... On 12/26 the wife calls me :
Wife: Should my car be smoking?
Me:No, what color and where is it coming from?
Wife: Under the hood
Me: Pull over and smell it, does it smell like Maple Syrup?
Wife: I don't know
Me: Well, pull over and let it cool (being as she is only less than a mile from the house.) Give it 15 mins and then take it home
Well, I get home and it's a blown radiator (no biggie, I'll look around). ~$530 for a Mishimoto radiator.. no thanks. Called the dealer and they said we will come get it and let you know.
They have it for 2 days (during these 2 days they ask me "what radiator do you want") I respond with "whu whu" as I thought a stocker would go back in. Dealer tells me "in 15 years of being here, we have never put a stocker back in a car because they are junk. So I asked what they use and he said a distributor locally. This is ok but do I have the warranty with YOU or them... He said "we will warranty it, but have never had one come back".
Ok, so I'm game. I offset their cost by $200 and pick it up a day later.
Fast forward to yesterday:
Wife: Should my car be laking this stuff (sent me a pic)
Me: No, pull it back in the garage and I will check it out later
I got home an hour later and I look under the car and it's the tranny cooler line UNDER the radiator and it's cracked/pinched. I then really looked at the fluid in the driveway and to my amazement, it's blacker than black (time for a flush and filter).
Call the dealer and they come pick it up and tell me 2 hours later it's the cooler line and that it was "brittle". I lol'd and then asked him how a 4-5 yr old line would be brittle in S Texas. He had nothing. Told him it's pinched from their shoddy install and I'm glad their work is warrantied and then I ask him to give me a call when it's done and then drive off in a rental supplied by them. hahaha
Sorry this is so long winded but I really thought these techs knew what they were doing.?.?.?
Ask Justin how much they know.

Sangh's Narendra Modi Problem - Prasanna · 10 Comments CRI Saturday, December 1, 2012
Given the intentional inscrutability and deliberate obfuscation that the Sangh tends to practice in its communication, it will never go on record admitting… Sangh vanguard, to put it charitably, practices a bit of sophistry when they claim that they do not meddle in the political affairs of BJP. I have observed Sangh for long, often with huge admiration at their exemplary record of social service and purposeful patriotism but also with consternation at their prejudiced pronouncements and regression in to some kind of a secretive, Marathi Brahmin brotherhood.
Denials notwithstanding, Sangh is facing a huge talent problem. Combined with intellectual atrophy it makes things worse. No transformational ideas seem to be emerging from their cloistered world. Of course, as one of my perceptive colleagues at CRI put it, Work-a-day Hindutva is as imperative and not necessarily inferior but striking the right balance holds the key. Victimhood narrative will yield diminishing returns with aspirational middle
Sangh unfortunately has not been clear on which ideological strand it wishes to promote within BJP. Currently it seems to be leaning towards the mercenary mercantilism variety… Sangh has a unique opportunity to embrace modernity that it always feared and resented… Sangh has a historic chance to leave behind embarrassing aspects of its legacy which included advocating isolationism of mind, fostering fear of modernity and contempt for politics as an instrument of socio-political change.
Memo to Kejriwal - Jayaprakash Narayan IE: Mon Oct 08 2012
We need to mobilise the middle classes and the youth, who are shunning politics, into meaningful political activity. True politics is vital to reconcile conflicting interests in society, make rational choices, allocate resources wisely and enlist public support in nation-building. At the very least, we need to make ethical politics sustainable. Education, skills and employment must be at the core of our governance if we are to end discrimination by birth and poverty. We need to empower local governments and give people at the community level the opportunity to make a difference.
We need to address the challenge of short-term populism versus long-term public good. In a democratic society, there is a political price to pay for pursuing rational and sound public policies. If our quest for votes at any cost leads to short-term maximisation and instant gratification, we will be enjoying tomorrow's fruits today, endangering the future. All parties must agree on the role of state in a modern society. No matter which party is in power, we need a clear sense of purpose and direction as a society. Parties should provide the platform and politics is the process to achieve this. It is because politics, which ought to be the solution to the nation's crises, has become the problem itself that we are in a quandary.
A Must Read New Book on Friedrich Hayek from Adam Smith's Lost Legacy by Gavin Kennedy - Eamonn Butler: "Friedrich Hayek: the ideas and influence of the libertarian economist"
Hayek showed why socialist economies are made obsolete by their inability to acquire sufficient knowledge even to produce a simple product by central command, without creating massive distortions to the production of other goods. Markets undertake such tasks all the time because they fit well with the dispersed knowledge shown by visible prices along the interlinked supply chains that make up competitive market economies. Profit rewards those who discover better ways of producing what consumers are prepared to pay for. No central plan, no amount of computational genius, no advanced mathematics, can capture for a moment the dispersed knowledge or shifting tastes that constitutes what happens across whole economies. Hayek called the belief among the Left that it could be done by planners their "fatal conceit". He agreed with Adam Smith that market prices gravitate towards but never need to settle at an ideal balance. Gavin Kennedy Emeritus Professor,

Google will continue to support the existing News Archive, so you can still search it. But it won't add any search enhancements.
This article from the Boston Phoenix has more on what Google's doing instead.
See other sites where you can search online newspapers in this free FamilyTreeMagazine.com article, and look for even more help using online newspaper databases in our November 2011 issue. (We've also got a Family Tree University course on newspaper research.)
In other (happier) Google news, now you can get definitions for words in Google Books right then and there. Just select the word and a little pop-up menu gives you options to define it, translate it, or search for it in the book, Google or Wikipedia. You have to be in "Flowing Text" mode for this to work; click here for more details.
The winner of the grand prize—a two-year Geni Pro account and a year of Famliy Tree Magazine—is Sadie Morgan of Rossville, Ga.
The second-prize winners, who'll receive the Family Tree Magazine "Beginners Guide to Genealogy" digital download and a three-month Geni Pro Account, are:
We're contacting the winners to deliver your prizes. Congratulations to them, and thank you to everyone who entered. We enjoyed reading about how you got into genealogy! (You can see the entries on the Facebook pages for Family Tree Magazine and Geni.)
Courses run for four weeks with one lesson per week. That's except for Lisa Louise Cooke's Google Master Class, which combines three courses over eight weeks; and Discover Your Family Tree, a two-week course especially for beginners.
Click each link for more about the class, including a syllabus, student feedback, and even preview videos for some. You can save 20 percent on registration by using offer code FTU0511.
Dick Eastman has posted his copious notes from the reception. Some things that caught my eye: the new genealogy Web Search, US Navy Ship Muster Rolls 1939-1949 (coming on Memorial Day), more US birth and death records, a faster record image viewer, a new Android app, and the ability to download data from your Ancestry tree to version 2012 Family Tree Maker software.
For Web Search, Ancestry.com will index other genealogy web sites. When you do a search on Ancestry.com, if there's a relevant match in a record on a site that's been indexed, that match will be included in your search results along with the historical records on Ancestry.com. Web Search will be a free service.
Here's what a Web Search result looks like (image, arrows and callouts are Ancestry.com's).
So you can tell which records in your search results are from Ancestry.com and which are from another site, you'll see an icon and the word "Web" in front of the name of the collection.
The Web Search results include the essential information from the other site (theoretically, enough to help you decide whether the record refers to your ancestor) and a link to visit the website.
"In the same way you should always check the image when you look at an index, make sure you go to the web site to see what other information is there," advises Ancestry.com in its announcement. "You will usually find additional information."
You also can click to save the information to your tree.
You don't have to subscribe or have a guest account with Ancestry.com to use Web Search or get to the source website. But if you want to save the web record to your online tree, you'll of course need at least a guest account.
Webmasters who don't want their genealogy websites indexed in Web Records will be able to contact Ancestry.com and opt out.
See more details and a Q&A on Ancestry.com's Web Search info page.
Many genealogists see Web Search as Ancestry.com's shot at a do-over of its Internet Biographical Collection, which was pulled down shortly after its introduction in August 2007 amid negative feedback over copyright and other concerns. More on that in this post.
"This will entail a long-term, multi-million dollar effort," Archives.com product manager Julie Hill told me. "Users will begin to see these records coming online in the next couple of months."
If you're attending the NGS conference (going on now), you can sample the records already available on Archives by picking up a complimentary six-month membership card at the Archives booth (#229 and 231).
Archives also is making a special $1,000 grant award at the conference to an organization or individual working to preserve historical records and/or advance family history research. To apply, stop by the Archives booth for an application. Learn more on the NGS conference blog.
The Library of Congress and Sony Music Entertainment created the National Jukebox website with 10,000-plus rare historic sound recordings produced in the United States from 1901 and 1925.
At the press conference unveiling the site, musician and actor Harry Connick Jr. performed "I'm Just Wild About Harry" (wish I could've been at that press conference!). You can listen to composer Eubie Blake's version in the National Jukebox.
Search the recordings or browse by genre, artist, target audience (where you can click to the music of Germans, Swedes, Poles, Italians, Jews and other ethnic groups). Listen to recordings on a streaming-only basis. You also can access label images, record-catalog illustrations and artist bios, and create your own playlists.
"This collection includes popular music, dance music, opera, early jazz, famous speeches, poetry and humor. It is what our grandparents and great-grandparents listened to, danced to, sang along with," says Librarian of Congress James H. Billington.
The site represents the largest collection of such historical recordings made publicly available online for study and appreciation. In its agreement with Sony, the Library of Congress gets usage rights to Sony Music's entire pre-1925 catalog.
I enjoyed George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." What tunes are you listening to in the National Jukebox?

"These were exactly what I was expecting and arrived faster than I thought they would. I bought them as my first Tiny Prints purchase and will DEFINITELY be buying more in the future. I highly recommend them!"
"I LOVE THESE LABELS. They are just precious! They're so whimsical and happy and just great! I changed the font of the name so it's a little girlier and will probably get these same labels every time I move haha :) If you have a very long street address, you may have to shorten some things, cause there's no way to add a 4th line for apartment numbers or anything but it worked out great. So happy. Happiest around! :)"

"I used an awesome daily deal that was emailed to me to try out the address labels and much to my suprise Tiny Prints had hundreds of adorable designs to choose from!! I picked out two and the amazing deal I got on them cannot be beat.

Costume Photos
Costume Information
|Cost :
|£2 For the shirt about £3.50 for the face paint each... We used 3 colours
|Time Taken :
|Random two hours for me and mi amigo. Basically, we were watching Shaun of the dead and I said, Oh, Lets be zombies.
So we did.
White t-Shirt from Primark i think, I got it a size too big so it looked better, then I painted my hand with red face paint and did a couple hands across my shirt, then flicked facepaint at it, and smeared it across, adding bits of black face paint to look dirty.
For the face, we used white facepaint with black to make a grey type look, then used black around the eyes and blended it. Around the mouth was a red facepaint mixed with black to look darker for a blood effect.
On my neck, there is a line of darkened red face paint surrounded by dripping red face paint which is really easy, you just have to make sure you blend it well~
To-Do List
|Tear up some jeans/trousers/skirt.

The use of acoustic emission (AE) as an early indicator of structural materials exposed to a flame has been investigated and found to be possible. Piezoelectric transducers have been mounted directly on 0.5 m long, simply supported beams of aluminum, gypsum board, wood and plastic, and have been used to record ultrasonic events resulting from a small flame placed under the beam. The number of AE events in a minute and the cumulative energy released during the heating cycle provide a good measure of the overheated state of some of these materials even before a temperature increase is indicated. The measured signals varied in energy and number with the type of material, the thickness of the specimen and heat flux. Wood was particularly susceptible to acoustic emission, producing more than 1000 events/min in a solid fir board and 30/min in 13 mm thick plywood when the flame exceeded 1 kW. A gypsum board produced 16 events in a minute. An aluminum plate did not respond above the background level (0.3 events/min) even though it reached the highest temperature. The differences in cumulative energy were equally striking, with the plywood being four times more energetic than the gypsum board even though the heating period for the wood was half as long, and 30 times more energetic than the aluminum. Some critical issues which remain to be investigated before this technique can be adapted to practical fire detection are mentioned

As I recall, BMW lists a specific tool, a long socket with a hole cut out just for this. Unfortunately, that may work for the BMW collar nut but Bilstein's collar nut is 1 mm larger. That was how I got mine installed as well, with a vice grip, an allen key and lots of swearing.
If you're comfortable, you can actually cut a hole out of a long socket to do this, especially if the top collar nut needs to be tighted to torque.

Mariliana receives prize from Hillary Clinton
I just received good news from friends in Costa Rica about a colleague in ministry who works with victims of commercial sexual exploitation. It has been my honor to work alongside of and learn from Mariliana Morales. The ABW Tour this summer was privileged to visit the Rahab Foundation and meet both Mariliana and the women she serves. Here is what LAM missionary friend, Shelly Rice wrote:
"Last Friday, the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica invited Mariliana Morales, the Rahab Foundation founder and Director, to go to the United States Department of State in Washington, D.C. to receive an award as a "Trafficking in Persons Heroine" or "Heroine against Modern Slavery", which she received today from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This prize was given as part of the presentation of the ninth annual Global Trafficking in Persons Report (GTIP). Mariliana is one of nine persons distinguished worldwide for their commitment and fight against this type of organized crime. She was chosen among hundreds of candidates for this prize.
Just last week Costa Rica was shaken by news that two Costa Rican women were trafficked to Mexico for sexual slavery. At a time when this news confirms the existence in our country of organized crime networks which recruit Costa Ricans to be exploited as sexual slaves, this prize calls attention to the need to strengthen the national conscience, as well as to improve actions for the prevention of this kind of crime and to develop effective services for these victims, such as those offered by the Rahab Foundation over the last eleven years.
For more information about this prize, you can see the video and text of the presentation on the State Department web site, http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2009a/06/124872.htm. In the last few minutes of the presentation, Mariliana shared a few words of appreciation. In addition, some people have told us that news of this prize can be seen on CNN news, probably in Spanish."
Thank you for making it possible to be involved in such groundbreaking and grace-filled work.

Why should I consider disability insurance?
No doubt you've insured your home against fire and theft, and your car against accidents. And if you don't have life insurance yet, you're probably thinking about it.
But you're actually more likely to be disabled — and unable to earn — than you are to die during your working years. If you find yourself unable to work and without disability coverage, you could wipe out your family's savings. So if you can't buy disability insurance through your employer, you may want to consider buying it on your own.
How much does disability insurance cost?
Unless you can get it through your employer, it's expensive — figure on 1 to 3 percent of your annual income . The cost depends on several factors, including the policy you choose, your job, your health status, your age, and whether or not you smoke.
If you're a woman, you may be charged about 40 percent more than a man would pay for an individual policy, because women tend to file more claims. Group policies, however, usually charge men and women the same rate.
If you don't need immediate disbursements after suffering a disability (because of worker's compensation or employee benefits), you'll save a bundle on your premium by opting for a three- to six-month waiting period.
You can buy a traditional policy with a fixed premium. Or you can buy one similar to term life insurance, called an annually renewable disability income (ARDI) policy. This type of policy has a low, more affordable premium that goes up slightly each year. It may be a good option for young professionals who expect their incomes to grow.
With either type of plan, you insure yourself for a monthly payment that you determine — typically, about 60 percent of your earnings. Then, if you become disabled, you'll receive those monthly payments.
How much coverage do I need?
First, determine how much you already have. Depending on your job, you may have:
- Worker's compensation (up to 80 percent of your take-home pay)
- Company or union coverage (sick pay for up to six months)
- Social Security (checks start after five months of being totally disabled, and the disability must be deemed as lasting for more than a year)
Total any of the above benefits, your spouse's income, investment income, and so on. The gap between what you'll have and what you'll need is the amount of disability coverage you should buy.
You can't obtain 100 percent replacement coverage. But since you won't pay the same taxes on disability payments, a policy that covers about two-thirds of your salary may net you close to your previous take-home pay.

6/4 wire ?
Can someone help me? I am building a bathroom with hot water tank, washer and dryer inside. I was told by an electrician that I need 6/4 wire to run to my fuse box that is being used in the bathroom
Home Depot only goes up to 6/3 wire and could offer no suggestions. I have tried to locate the 6/4 wire on the internet with no success. I am beginning to think there is no such thing and even if there is - it is not common. I am sure I need something common - don't I?
The wiring on all the appliances are either three or 4 wires (including ground). I looked the 6/3 and it has 3 wires and a ground wire - why is that not good? Is there a reason anyone can think of that I must use a 6/4 which appears to be extremely hard to locate if at all?
1 You can not put a fuse box or panel inside a bathroom.
2 I have never seen 6/4. I think you may need a new electrician!
3 6/3 with a ground is all that would be required to run a subpanel.
IMO if this guy told you to get 6/4, knowing that it will feed a panel in a bathroom, he is NO electrician!
The correct term is 6/3. Actually 6/3NM w/ground. Not 6/4. 6/4 would be referring to heavy rubber cord not normally associated with residential work.
Also a panel in a bathroom is a major code violation.
I wonder why a sub-panel? Is this absolutely necessary? How far is the new laundry/bath from the main service? Is the main panel full?
If you do go the sub-panel route, putting it outside the bathroom, then 6/3 is a fine choice to feed it with. Use a double pole 50 amp breaker in the main panel.

Pats owner discloses pre-cancerous lesions
PHOENIX — Patriots owner Robert Kraft acknowledged yesterday having a pre-cancerous stage of melanoma, as several substantial blotches were visible on his face as he addressed reporters at the league meetings.
Kraft said he was being treated by a dermatologist for his skin condition, and apologized for his appearance. The blotches were visible on his lip, nose and right cheek.
Upon arriving to speak with the media, mostly about the loss of Wes Welker, he joked that "the other guy looks worse."
When asked directly about the lesions, Kraft described it as being "pre-melanoma," and he had been using a medical cream for the condition.
