Additional Location Information
Sparkling turquoise seas, the verdant northern coastline, dazzling sunrises, tropical flowers and lush vegetation welcome you to Cabarita Lookout. Relax by the sparkling pool, enjoy a massage by Racquel, our masseuse, dine under the stars and step into a new way to vacation. escape the hustle and bustle of super clubs and tourism and enjoy your new home away from home in Jamaica. Our villa was completed five years ago on the historic Wentworth estate, an estate filled with banana, orange, lime, mango and papaya trees. Rumored to be the illustrious Captain Henry Morgan's historic lookout and sitting adjacent to playwright Noel Coward's dramatic estate, "Firefly," Cabarita Lookout has one of the most beautiful views in all of Jamaica. Elegant yet cozy, we want our home to be your home away from home. On your arrival at Montego Bay Airport, you'll be greeted by Cutty, your driver, butler and new "best friend". Cutty has a wealth of knowledge about Jamaica and will be happy to share the lore of his land as he drives you to Cabarita Lookout. On arrival you'll be greeted with a rum punch by Sharon, both a fabulous cook and meticulous housekeeper. Cool sea breezes and breathtaking views will erase any memories of work or travel.
Cabarita Lookout is located in close proximity to James Bond Beach, Dunn's River Falls, Dolphin Cove, The Blue Hole, Mystic Mountain and Fern Gully. For the more adventuresome, try rafting the Rio Grande, exploring Cockpit Country or deep sea fishing with local fishermen. Or just kick back and relax around our sparkling pool and be catered to by Cutty, Sharon and Racquel. Early mornings join Cutty as he goes down to the beach to pick up the "catch of the day" from local fishermen. Sharon's cuisine ranges from local to international. You are free to design your own menu.
Cabarita Lookout comfortably sleeps three families or three couples with extra beds available. The van and driver are available at all times during your stay.

"Perfect Vacation Spot"
Spectacular views. House is wonderful. Staff is awesome. Could not have been more accommodating. Sharon's meals were awesome. Cutty, our driver is an invaluable resource of information. Will definitely go back
Response from the owner, Pamela Bliss - 03/02/2017
So happy your stay was great! Sharon and Cutty are the best staff ever! They enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return! We want Cabarita Lookout to be your "home away from home."

"Great Escape"
We had a fantastic time at Cabarita Lookout. Your home is lovely and what an incredible view!!! Cutty, Sharon and Devon were great. Cutty was so helpful planning our days and driving us around. We went to the Black Sands Beach/Waterfall, ate at Susie's twice, went to the Reggae Beach and Craft Market, took a tour of Firefly and just spent some days relaxing by the pool. Sharon's meals were perfect. We had three big fish eaters and three meat eaters and she was very accommodating. I loved the Rum Bread Pudding!
"Tropical bliss"
I had an absolutely wonderful time at Cabarita Lookout. I could not have been happier with my stay. There is a perfect balance of options for a broad scope of vacation preferences. If you prefer a quiet and private retreat and spending time poolside with a cocktail while overlooking the ocean below there's no better place. If you want to get out to go to a beach, take a hike to (or up) a waterfall, shop in the Ocho Rios market, or get out and see Jamaica, just ask Cutty and he takes you were you want to go. For meals, there are many options in the area and plenty of great foods to sample, but a nice meal at the villa prepared by Sharon can't be beat. This place was definitely the Jamaican getaway that I was looking for!

"Beautifully handcrafted villa on top of Jamaican town hillside."
Warm breeze in the morning, cool breeze from the hills at night. "Infinite pool" overlooking the ocean (180+ degrees of sea). Adjacent to Jamaican landmark, Noel Coward's garden and writer's villa (also overlooking island where they shot Golden Eye). If you want to bypass tourism heckling and enjoy your trip, I would highly recommend experiencing Jamaican town life... this is your spot. The staff--Cutty, Sharon, Natalie, and Devon-- were all fun, kind, and helpful. Ask Cutty (driver) for recommendations based on your interests... some of us had scuba days, waterfall days, exploration days. All of us had multiple beach days. Breakfast and dinner were wonderful. Ask Natalie (cook/caretaker) how her guitar is coming along. Will be uploading videos to share soon! Best vacation I have ever experienced. Already excited to plan a return to Port Maria!
"Breathtaking every time I visit"
This was my fourth visit to Cabarita Lookout, yet every time I stand on the veranda I am struck again anew with the beauty of the place. In terms of views, it rivals any I have seen in the world. From the comfort of the private and secluded villa, you can see the rugged a majestic coastline, the blue Caribbean water, and the endless skies. All this you can see from the private pool, the grounds and the many verandas where you can eat meals, read, relax and enjoy a true vacation. The staff are helpful and kindhearted, able to help you craft adventures away from the villa and to enjoy your time staying there. The food is really exceptional. In my experience, the Jamaican cooking you eat at Cabarita Lookout is as good if not better than what you typically are served at restaurants. Overall, it is just wonderful--The perfect combination of relaxation and adventure.

"Amazing homebase for our Jamaican adventures!"
My wife and I stayed at Cabarita Lookout with 3 other couples in early February 2014, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to other travellers who are looking to experience Jamaica outside of its cruiseship port destinations. The house itself is great. It's quite new, has plenty of space, and each bedroom has its own private bathroom. The house had wifi, though we tried to keep our devices off for the most part (but it was nice for streaming music to the bluetooth-equipped speakers they have around the place)! I loved the main dining table--it's about 16 feet long and could fit a huge family. The house has million dollar views from the patio or from the pool deck. Sharon and Natalie, the cooks/housekeepers, and Cutty, the driver/all-around-helpful-guy-for-whatever-you-need, were all extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast typically included eggs and pancakes and a huge plate of fresh fruit. Sharon took requests for dinner (and also provides recommendations), and the result was always authentic, fresh, home-cooked Jamaican food. Cutty is quite the character, in a very good way. He seems to know everyone and everything in the area. He recommended a scuba diving company and drove my wife and I there, and it was perfect. He arranged for some local fishermen/budding tour guides to take us to Black Sand Beach and guide us on a hike to a remote waterfall--highly recommended. He'll also provide roundtrip shuttle to and from the airport, which is key. It was a little strange basically having our own private driver on this trip, it definitely felt more luxurious than our typical vacations where we tend to rely on public transportation. The house is located a relatively short drive from a ton of spots worth visiting. You could plan out your trip in advance, or just sit down with Cutty on the first night and plan your trips for the week then. Tl;dr: 5 stars, awesome house, awesome views, awesome people in Sharon and Cutty. Will be going back.
"Perfect Place to Getaway"
This is a fantastic property for people who really want to get away and experience Jamaica. You won't find any tourist traps or cruise ships here; instead, you'll find a warm and welcoming local experience. Cutty will pick you up at the airport and will immediately acquaint you with the area, while Sharon will cook you delicious homemade meals. Fishing, diving, snorkelling, hiking, name any activity you want and Cutty will find it for you. If you prefer to relax at the beach or by the pool, that can be arranged too. Each morning, you'll awake to a gorgeous view from the top of the hill. The house is breezy and comfortable. If guests are able to share double beds this property can easily accommodate 10-12 people.

"Jamaican Experience"
Our vacation at Cabarita Lookout was simply amazing. Let's start with the scenery, the villa's unobstructed/unspoiled view of Jamaica's rugged north coast was incredible to say the least! Firefly is suppose to have one of the best views on the island and views from the tranquil verandas on this property are a very close second. Our most memorable times of this vacation was how the personal touches of the villa and staff made it seem like a home away from home from the first time we arrived at the property until the day we left. What I was hoping for was a vacation environment where my busy family could spend quality time together while experiencing the wonderful people and sites of Jamaica. It exceeded all our expectations, whether sharing another great meal at the start or end of a fun filled day or simply talking on the deck well into the night about the experiences of our daily trips. This quality family time spent at the villa was priceless. Cutty was an excellent friend/driver with a wealth of knowledge. He took us on many excursions to both well known tourist locations, as well as less frequented/known attractions that showed us the real beauty of Jamaica and its communities. Sharon cooked amazing home cooked meals which included many local dishes...everything was so good! Our trip to the local grocery store for food and liquor for the week was also very reasonable, not much more than a couple decent meals at an average restaurant. This was the first time we tried a vacation like this and it was definitely the best vacation we have been on and would highly recommend it. The added touch of the villa's outstanding staff and transport allowed for an unique cultural experience for the entire family.

"The perfect getaway!"
My husband and I just returned from a week at Cabarita Lookout where we stayed with friends. I have never had a better vacation and I will never stay anywhere else in Jamaica. In my opinion, Cabarita Lookout is the perfect place for families or groups of friends. The view from the terrace is breathtaking, with panoramic views of the ocean and the rugged coastline. Pictures just don't do it justice; you have to see it for yourself. The rooms are comfortable and spacious and the pool is gorgeous. It is really a tropical paradise. The staff is so accommodating and pleasant. Miss Sharon and Natalie made us the most delicious breakfasts and dinners. We had Cutty pick up fresh mahi mahi and lobster for dinner for two nights and Miss Sharon made curried goat and chicken stir fry two other nights. I strongly suggest eating dinner at the villa as much as possible. Miss Sharon is an excellent cook. Cutty also had many good suggestions for activities and drove us wherever we needed to go. I strongly suggest going to Reggae beach, which is between Ocho Rios and Port Maria. It costs 10 dollars us to get in, but you get a beach chair and great service right where you are sitting. We bought fresh coconuts with rum in them and had an excellent lunch of jerk chicken and fresh fish. It had such a great atmosphere that we went there twice. My other favorite activity was going to the Blue Hole, which is a series of freshwater waterfalls and deep pools of the most beautiful blue color. Our guide Jason lead us around and was so friendly and helpful. There is a rope swing, a cave under a waterfall, and waterfall you can climb down. It was really fun and it is relatively unknown so there were almost no tourists when we went (as opposed to Dunn River Falls which is always busy but still very fun). I loved that we were able to stay somewhere away from the resorts and that we got to see more of Jamaica and its culture. It really was the most perfect vacation and I will definitely be back.

"An Ideal Place to Spend a Week With Friends"
Our week at Cabarita Lookout was wonderful. Walking down every morning to a beautiful breakfast was just the start of each wonderful day. The pool is perfect to hang out at and if we wanted to do anything Cutty was more than happy to oblige. I really liked going next door to see Firefly, where Noel Coward wrote his plays. Truly a delight. The view is breathtaking.

Re: stytax error
I have also encountered this problem with an autogenerated package - and
yes, everything looked fine until someone tried it under Linux.
The splitting of long lines seems to be at the heart of the problem.
There used to be another strange problem with autogenerated packages, in
that if you had a lot of math-formatting you sometimes had to save the
contents TWICE back-to-back to avoid getting a corrupt .m file.
Depending on the version of Mathematica is use, this could also be present.

Four midfielders, two defenders, two forwards and one goalkeeper make up the 2009 GA class. The nine players have been distributed amongst four squads to contest matches at the MLS Combine that begins Saturday in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Three members of NCAA Division I champion Maryland head the list: midfielder Jeremy Hall had 14 goals and seven assists, midfield mate Rodney Wallace started 25 games for the Terps, and defender Omar Gonzalez is a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist and adidas/NSCAA first team all-American.
The other GA defender is Kevin Alston of Indiana, an all-Big 10 selection who started 24 games for the Hoosiers.
Steve Zakuani (Akron) leaves school after leading the nation in goals with 20 as a sophomore. Like Gonzalez, he's an adidas/NSCAA first team All-American, as well as the the Soccer America Player of the Year. He is a finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy, the winner of which will be announced Friday.
Forward Peri Marosevic (Michigan) and midfielder Daniel Cruz (UNLV) are the youngest GA players at age 19, and both are former U.S. under-17 internationals. Cruz is a member of the U.S. U-20 team that will attempt to qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup finals later this year in Egypt.
Midfielder Baggio Husidic (UIC) and goalkeeper Stefan Frei (California) are the two oldest GA players and two more first team All-Americans to sign with MLS. Husidic, 21, scored nine goals and added six assists; Frei, 22, started 21 games for Cal and had a 0.77 goals against average and earned his first team All-American selection in 2007.
Wake Forest defender Ike Opara rejected an MLS GA offer and is returning to school. As of Thursday, UCLA midfielder Mike Stephens had yet to decide whether to join the GA class.
By league rules, the salaries of GA players don't count against a team's salary cap, which is why many of them are taken with a team's first pick. They also receive bonuses from adidas, stipends to continue their academic studies, and often command higher starting salaries than most seniors taken in the SuperDraft, which will be held next Thursday in St. Louis.
In last year's draft, the first three picks as well as six of the first eight were Generation adidas players, but two - Eric Avila and Josh Lambo - slipped into the second round. The eight GA players available in the 2007 SuperDraft were selected in the first 14 slots, with Dallas taking 15-year-old forward Abdus Ibrahim with the first pick of the second round. (There were 13 MLS teams in 2007 and 14 last year.)
New league rules regarding rosters are in place; teams can list either 18, 19 or 20 players on their regular rosters, and the number of developmental slots has been chopped from 10 to four.
With a bit more pressure to obtain players who can crack the lineup sooner rather than later, MLS teams may adjust their approaches as they scout talent at the Combine and prepare for the SuperDraft. The knock-on effect of where the nine GA players are selected will be an intriguting factor in the third and fourth rounds, since like the Reserve Division, MLS has terminated the Supplemental Draft.

In U.S. fight over gay marriage, both sides gearing up for more battles
By Edith Honan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - After a watershed year for gay marriage in the United States that included ballot victories and a presidential endorsement, advocates have staked out a handful of states where they believe the next round of fights over same-sex unions can be won.
But any victories will not come easily.
Those who defend marriage as a union of one man and one woman plan to use the November 6 defeats as a rallying cry and fundraising tool. The National Organization for Marriage, the leading group opposed to gay marriage, has called on allies to raise $30 million in the coming year - more than double its haul in 2012.
"Frankly, Americans never really thought that they would have to defend something so obvious as the reality that it takes a man and a woman to make a marriage, and only recently has the threat become clear," Brian Brown, the organization's head, said in an interview.
"We're committed to not letting that happen again, to being outspent in that way. And I think a lot of our donors will step up to the plate, in a way that you haven't seen before, in any future state fights."
This Election Days, voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington state approved ballot initiatives legalizing same-sex marriage, marking the first time in U.S. history voters approved gay marriage at the polls, and bringing to nine the number of states allowing gay marriage.
Weeks later, both sides are preparing for more wrenching battles.
In Rhode Island, the last of the New England states where marriage is limited to straight couples, lawmakers are reviving a gay marriage bill that failed last year. Continued...

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 5th, 2013 12:33am
July 15 is not only the start of the World Lacrosse Championships in Manchester but also the traditional date of St. Swithin's Day. According to legend, whatever the weather is like on this day, it will continue for the next forty days.
So wet weather on the Opening Ceremony of the World Championships on Thursday signifies rain for the remainder of the tournament and for the next six weeks.
Unfortunately for lacrosse fans and the teams representing 30 nations from around the world, experts are predicting a downpour and possible storms. After weeks of hot and dry weather in England, resulting in a hose pipe ban in the North West, temperatures are set to drop dramatically and rain will set in.
However, it's not rain that is standing in the way of the opening match of the tournament between England and the Iroquois Nationals but instead problems regarding the team's passports.
The Iroquois Nationals have been rejected from entering the UK, as the British consulate refused to acknowledge the team's Haudenosaunee passports. The team were previously delayed being issued travel visas after waiting for assurance from the U.S. State Department that the group will be allowed back into the United States.
After being turned away from their flight in New York, England will now face Germany in an exhibition match, taking place at the Armitage Centre at Manchester at 7.30pm. The Iroquois Nationals are still aiming to make it to Manchester at some point to take part in a competitive match.
If you don't fancy watching the matches in the rain, new media has made it possible to keep up with all the latest action from the Championships as matches will be streamed live on the internet.
Up until Thursday 1st July, Season passes for internet streaming, which include all games played in the Stadium, will be available at a discounted price of £6.50, after which they will be priced at £11.50.
Purchasing one of these Season Passes will allow you to watch any Match from the Stadium pitch, which includes all Blue division and Final Games, on stream and on demand up to and including August 10th 2010.
Season Passes for internet streaming are available at http://247.tv/lacrosse/fil-world-lacrosse-championships-2010/
Less than 2,500 seats now remain available to the public for the World Lacrosse Championships. Season Passes and a Final Four Day Ticket Package are on sale and will secure your seat at the Final Match in addition to over 100 more World Class lacrosse matches. Day tickets are also available and are on sale at http://www.2010worldlacrosse.com/tickets. There are also few sponsorship opportunities left for those who would like to be part the FIL 2010 World Lacrosse Championships.
For further enquiries please contact James or Sarah at Made in Manchester on 0161 660 3663 or email email@example.com. To learn more about the 2010 FIL World Championships in Manchester, England, visit www.2010worldlacrosse.com.

Hi all,
Last night my 2013 wrx was towed from the rear (with the front on the ground) for 1 mile for illegal parking. The guy broke into the car to put it in neutral. The car drives fine, no issues in all the gears. But it did felt like 10% slower, maybe I was just paranoid.
I'm concerned that the trans, center diff, rear diff maybe slighlty damaged. Dealer wanted $110 for the inspection. Wanted to get an opinion on the forum before heading in. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

m m o games.com/ Got beta keys
I think the game's great. Not going far past lvl 25, don't want to ruin my experience after the wipe.
Game is generic but its the best "generic" game out there. Sadly i can already see it becoming P2W when the item shop gets released.
I've been taking my time and reading the quests and aubquests. I'll probably blaze through them in OB but it's been pretty fun so far. I'm almost 100% sure I've screwed up my build so far though.
Not sure how I feel about no skill resource managment (lack of mana bar). It's fine for PvE but I don't know how that will work out in PvP.

I'm done with it for now. It seems like it could be better later.
The Eidolon system really did turn out to just be a very generic pet system.
The sound effects in this game are crap, basic actions like jumping don't even have any SFX. Your character never grunts or anything like that and neither do monsters. It's kinda weird.
I cant even login because the captcha is unreadable... Well then thumbs down.
does anyone else start feeling sick during the PIN screen? like the background is moving and i start getting dizzy trying to enter my PIN.
Apparently you should level up your eidolons, I upgraded mine and it became much stronger. I didn't realized that you had to actively do it. I'm just waiting to 40 to experience second classing.
I got to 40 on my Duelist, and chose Ravager sub class. Leveling is pretty quick, but right now once you get through LV 40 questline, you have none left, so you're stuck doing green and blue quests. It's pretty.. boring doing it, so I'm holding off from the game for now. Maybe I'll play in OB if they add in the remaining questlines so we can continuously stick to the quests to level up the entire way.
The game has a lot of potential, but it needs something else.. Something in addition.. Housing, Race vs Race, etc.
Current Games:
No Man's Sky (PC)
Waiting for:
Chronicles of Elyria (PC)
Good game tho it really does have alot of potential as you said viney.. Easily beats Eden so aslong as they keep updating it, it should do really well. X-Legend finally made something I can see myself sticking to for a while xD
They have said, that they turned off the 40+ content during founder/cbt/stress.
Yeah, the game was way better than I imagined. I also love that you level up fast as my work is taking up a lot of time as of right now, so I don't have that much time to spend on leveling.
Apparently they have quite a lot of stuff at end game, from pvp arenas to guild housing, raids etc.This pretty much. It needs a niche, something like WOE... Just something to work towards because I enjoy this game's journey.
I'm 25 right now, thinking about laying off till OB before the burn out.
Everyone and their mother seems to be a duelist. I'm currently in one of the biggest guilds (65 members, most 50+).
The combinations are usually
Then bards mixed with some other classes.
I'm wondering if it's viable to take a melee class and mix it with a ranged class. Doesn't seem anyone has experimented
I've only got to lvl 20 but so far it has been extremely boring for me. I don't expect much improvement from CBT to release since its a F2P game.
the only thing I enjoyed was the gliding and that wasn't even that great for me since the maps seem so.... bleh.
The pet system is nothing great at all I don't think it adds anything to the table.
Anyways, I'm sure the game will have its following but it wont be that big.
anyone got a idea no wipe or wippe ?

This object was made to hang above a church altar and store Hosts, wafers or bread for the Mass, under the lid on its back. The dove of the Holy Spirit, in this way, is linked symbolically to the transformation of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist. Made in Limoges during the thirteenth century, more than forty of these Eucharistic doves survive. Their popularity probably grew after the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) affirmed Transubstantiation, the theological doctrine that the bread and wine of the Mass are transformed into the presence of Christ.
The doves resemble medieval Islamic bronze birds, many of which served as containers or were made as ornaments on larger objects. Inset eyes of blue or green glass were intended to ward off evil and jealousy. The Limoges dove also shares the usual stylization of bird wings--a scale pattern in front, a vertical band in the middle, and horizontal bands in the back--which descended from ancient Persian textiles. Such wings were still common on birds in the thirteenth-century silks from Islamic Spain that were admired in France. The bodies of birds in the metalwork and ceramics of Islamic Spain are often covered with a scale pattern similar to the Limoges dove.
Compare the pyx with a bird-shaped vessel from the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, and the design of paired peacocks on a fragment of silk textile from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Bathroom sink
I am remodeling my half bath and have a couple of questions regarding the toilet and the sink.
First the toilet..... I installed a natural slate floor, the tops of the 6x6 tiles are not smooth. How do I make sure the toilet will not "rock" once seated and if it does what can i do?
The sink.... I removed the vanity and I disconnected the two water supply lines going up the sink, there are two copper rings, my guess is they are compression fittings, do I need to replace those when reinstalling the vanity?
thanks for the help in advance!
Check in the plumbing repair aisle for toilet shims. These are little white shims used for leveling toilets.Fit them, then cut them off so you cant see them.
If the brass rings are visible, then the compression nut must also still be on the pipe.
I would install 2 new shut off valves and then run new braided steel supply tubes from the valves to the vanity faucet.
Is the slate porous? If it's not use plaster around the bowl. It will give it a finished look and support it well.
I'm assuming you disconnected the nuts from the angle stops and removed the sink like that? You could probably re-install them exactly as they are if you really wanted to. Slather some dope all over the threads and compression rings and tighten them down. Just keep an eye on it for leaks for a couple hours after installation. I would highly recommend replacing the supply lines rather than re-using them though.

Dark Eyes (song)
"Dark Eyes" (Russian: «Очи чёрные», Ochi chyornye; transl. "Black Eyes") is probably the most famous Russian romance song.
The lyrics were written by the Ukrainian poet and writer Yevhen Hrebinka. The first publication of the poem was in Hrebinka's own Russian translation in Literaturnaya gazeta on 17 January 1843.
In "The Book of World-famous Music: Classical, Popular, and Folk", published in 2000, the author, J.Fuld, mentions that a Soviet musicologist had reported to him that the song is not "a Russian Traditional song but a cabaret song", published in a songs book by A. Gutheil in 1897 and mentioned, at p. 131, as a "Gypsy romance based on the melody of Florian Hermann's Valse Hommage.[1] Of the original melody author, Florian Hermann, not a single music score is known.[2]
The most renowned and played version of this song was written by Adalgiso Ferraris, and published, when still in Russia in 1910, with German editor Otto Kuhl, as Schwarze Augen (Black Eyes).[3][4] Ferraris then published it again in 1931 by Paris Editions Salabert, as "Tes yeux noirs (impression russe)"[5] and with Jacques Liber, on Oct 9th, 1931.[6][7]
Adalgiso Ferraris, an Italian-born British composer, had spent many years in Russia before 1915. The song became one of his major successes in the 1920s and 1930s, being also played by Albert Sandler, by Leslie Jeffries in 1939, and sung by Al Bowlly in 1939 with words of Albert Mellor.[8][9] Max Jaffa also recorded it.[10][11][12][13]
Ferraris's Dark Eyes was recorded by Harry Parry and his radio sextet in 1941, and that version is still played by many artists. Chet Atkins played an original interpretation of the song on electric guitar. Feodor Chaliapin also popularised the song abroad.
The song was briefly played by the Three Tenors in their 1990 concert in Rome. It has become one of the signature songs of opera baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky in his concerts.
Poem (original version by Hrebinka)[edit]
The following is a metrical translation (i.e. one that can be sung to the melody).
Oh, these gorgeous eyes, dark and glorious eyes,
Burn-with-passion eyes, how you hypnotise!
How I adore you so, how I fear you though,
Since I saw you glow! Now my spirit's low!
Darkness yours conceal mighty fires real;
They my fate will seal: burn my soul with zeal!
But my love for you, when the time is due,
Will refresh anew like the morning dew!
No, not sad am I, nor so mad am I;
All my comforts lie in my destiny.
Just to realise my life's worthiest prize
Did I sacrifice for those ardent eyes!.
Translation by Peter Farnbank
Another rhythmical translation which is closer to the original
Oh you dark black eyes, full-of-passion-eyes Oh you burning eyes, how you hypnotise Now I love you so, but I fear you though Since you glanced at me not so long ago.
Oh I see you now, you are dark and deep I see grief and feel that my soul will weep I see now in you a winning burning glow in my poor heart will a fire grow.
I' m not sorrowful, I'm not repenting I accept all that my fate's presenting All the best in life, God has given us- this I sacrifice, to you dark black eyes.
by Stefan Bogdanov

Use the valet mode when you want to prevent the trunk from accidently opening. Never tried to see if valet mode prevents venting.
I solved my problem (for now) by buying a leather business card holder. It has two pockets and is 4x2.75x0.5 thick. The thickness is expandable to 0.5. The flap folds over and closes the leather case. I made sure that the closing cover did not have a magnet - one never knows how it would affect the remote. I haven't had any issues since, but the inconveniences are obvious if you need to press on a function. You have to pull the remote from the case. The other issue is that you have something extra to drag along with you. I must say that I can open the doors and trunk with the case in my pocket. When in the car, the case is in the center arm-rest box close to the pocket where the remote is normally inserted. So far, all seems to work. I'm now trying to find something smaller like 3" instead of 4" long.
Hope that helps someone.

Help with rock identification
1 Attachment(s)
Even my Google-fu is stumped with this one. I inherited a rock collection from my great grandfather about 20 years ago. I'm thinking of using some of it in a tank.
Does anyone know what this rock is? I have some vinegar to test it with, but nothing stronger. I have enough of this rock to use it as my hardscape with some driftwood, but I'm trying to ID it first!
Someone on a local forum identified this as rose rock. I think she's right! Anyone know if it's aquarium safe?
Actually, it looks like it is specifically "Desert Rose" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_rose_%28crystal%29
I think you found the right wiki page for it.
I wouldn't stick it in an aquarium. gypsum won't hold up to water, and even if it doesn't affect your water pH/hardness, it will breakdown/dissolve. And that looks like a pretty nice sized piece. It would be a shame to see it damaged/destroyed. :(
I've got different hues of rose rock in my collection. It is very pretty

Use of large memory
I was running into memory limits for a large numerical problem in V5.0. The
fastest fix (I thought) was to get a large amount of RAM. We purchased a
Pentium 4 machine running XP, with 4GB of memory. I built a test function
that progressively uses more memory and prints MemoryUsed[]. Every time I
get to just under 2GB of memory, I get the out-of-memory error from the
kernal. There's nothing else running, and task manager says there's plenty
left. Has anyone found some Windows XP tweak that allows Mathematica to use
what's available? Would this all work better in Linux?

Two-almost-three is pretty freaking sassy. Beatrice Kate has entered into the "No, I know everything about everything" phase and it's intellectually exhausting. Yep, I just admitted to a group of strangers that my two-almost-three year old is sometimes smarter than me.
Mostly though, I just admit defeat during arguments with her because it's easier to surrender than to keep arguing. I'm convinced that she often times picks fights just to see smoke come out of Mommy's ears. Casey is usually the one reminding me that she's not personally attacking me. At least, I hope not.
Me: Bea, are you ready to go to Simon's today?
Bea: No. I don't want to go to Simon's.
Me: Ok, we'll stay home.
Bea: No, I want to go to Simon's!
Me: What kind of cereal bar do you want? Red Maybe?
Bea: No, I don't want red.
Me: Ok, what color do you want?
Bea: Red. I love Red. It's my favorite.
Sometimes, she makes outrageous diva-like demands of Casey and I: "Don't sit there, Daddy. Sit in this seat.", "Mommy will drive the car and Daddy will not.", "Use the blue cup, Mommy" or my personal favorite, "Don't wear that, please. Wear leggings not jeans".
For the most part, we just sort of grin and bare the sassy-pants attitude that she radiates these days. It's just a phase, and arguing things like what clothes we all wear, or where we sit only causes more drama than it's worth. So, if she wants to wear pajama bottoms under a princess dress with a rain coat and a tiny straw hat on top, then we're okay with that.
It's all about picking our battles, folks. At least, that's what I'm telling myself.

Honeywell screen went blank
I have a Honeywell Vision Pro IAQ YTH9421C1002 Verson 2 Thermostat. Last night when I got up in the middle of the night, I noticed the screen was blank and no light coming from it. A minute or so later and it was back on again. When I got up this morning, it was again out, yet the furnace was blowing. I pulled the face away from the wall mount plate to see if there were any visible batteries, but of course there were none. When I placed it back on the wall it lit back up again. Everything seemed ok....temp was were it should be, it registered the outdoor thermo, indoor humidity, etc....
Any ideas why it's doing this? I don't know if this is a sign of the screen itself going bad, the interface module, or something else.
Again, I didn't see a battery, but I'm guessing there is a battery to hold memory somewhere, could it be that and if so where is it located? Wasn't sure I should pull the face apart.
Thanks for any input.
chk wiring connections... and tighten both at stat and at EIM. Sounds like display is going out. inside the stat is a watch battery but only to retain memory.
Well, I haven't checked this evening, but so far it's stayed on that I see since pulling it off the wall and putting it back on. I will check the connections as well. I suppose as long as it's just the display that goes out and if the unit still functions, I'll be ok. I just worry about loosing it and loosing heat at the same time. I have standard t-stat's I can replace with, but prefer not to have to re-wire one, just to wait a week on shipping for a new IAQ unit....
FWIW, when my system was installed the installer did not push the unit back onto the mount far enough before he left, and we had similar weirdness as soon as he was gone. He came back and in pretty short order determined what the deal was. Pushed it all the way on, no problems in a year and a half.
I suspect the furnace is opening the limit switch due to an overheating situation thus killing the low voltage to the furnace and stat. You may want to check your filter and make sure all registers and grills are clear and open.:thumbsup:
If your furnace is a condensing furnace, and its condensate drains to a condensate pump. See iif the safety switch of the pump is wired to break the Power to the EIM. If so, your pump is having a problem.
All drains of the furnace & a/c lead to a sump pump.
Thanks for the replies!
I just went through this problem over the weekend. The system is 9 mo old so I didn't mess with it. The tech fixed it in 30 sec after finding a blown 3 amp automotive fuse on the circuit board inside the furnace. I felt stupid that I didn't see it but then again any chance of me NOT voiding a warranty is a good thing!
But what caused the fuse to blow.
Just to advise of a new wrinkle to consider.
I don't know if smart meters are being installed elsewhere but some of the young twits installing them in my area have been causing 24V issues with furnaces, doorbells and appliance clocks.
Sent from my mobile using DIY chat room app.
Your tech is a moron. Many systems come with a 3A fuse. Put the correct fuse back in there before you blow your transformer.
dow you have wires on R and C for a constant 24Vs from the furnace take a Q-Tips wipe the contacts/pins with alcohol..vodka,gin,...whatever:wink: doubt a furnace hi-limit knocks it down, condensate pump might if you have one see:huh: if you have low voltage wires going to it

In for one for the girl, she be loving her grilled cheese & this shirt fits her too well.
Webfoot08 wrote:People, please.
When you grill a sandwich in butter in a frying pan, and the heat is anywhere above "low", the butter turns brown. Okay? And if there's a lot of butter, it drips.
This microwave Hot Pockets generation doesn't know from anything.
eeeeeewwwwww.... that's too much butter.
zetec wrote:As a grilled cheese addict, I'm totally in for this woot. I also thought I'd share some grilled cheese tips:
- Always use shredded cheese. I prefer a blend of two different cheeses.
- Use butter liberally on the toast. Or a healthier alternative. Your choice, just use a lot.
- Garlic Salt. Period. No exceptions. Just a nice pinch or two sprinkled on the cheese before the second slice of toast is applied.
- Crushed Red Peppers. Obviously not for everyone, but just the tiniest pinch can add a subtle kick to your sandwich that sneaks up slowly behind the garlic salt.
- Your toast should be at least half an 3/4 an inch thick. Any thinner, and your sandwich will not only fall apart, it'll be more likely to burn and you lose out on some flavor.
Many people also enjoy Mayo on their grilled cheese. Not my preference, but many people swear by it, thought I should throw that out there. Happy grilling!
PS: Stay away from those Kraft Singles. Shame on you.
I can't wait to try one with some garlic salt. I wish I could stay Satellite of Love from work and just make grilled cheese sandwiches. Yeah, I got a shirt.

Actually, right at first, it was pretty much California and Wisconsin that were the only states buying. That's long changed, though. Utah seems to need grilled cheese the most. who knew?
and nada from Alabama. I'd guess grilled cheese is too healthy for their diets. ;^)

Haaa, love this. When I heard that our Southern bros and sis's eat deep-fried Mars bars, that did it for me. If I ever go south of the Mason-Dixon line, I'm packing along survival food. Maybe even a grilled cheese sandwich with lots o' butta.
Well, the artist actually made a grilled cheese sandwich look gross, and then put it on a shirt.
AdderXYU wrote:Grilled cheese makes a delicious snack.
Clearly it makes a hideous shirt.
I find it amazing, saddening, and a little nauseating that people seem to be buying and considering this shirt because they like grilled cheeses without taking into account that it is an insipid piece of art that doesn't fit the medium at all.
I'm not sure if it was your intention, but that statement made you come off as a tad bit elitist.
People have different tastes. Just because you love something doesn't automatically make it a well thought out peice of art. On the same hand, just because you dislike something doesn't make it terrible. Not everyone's going to agree with you all the time. You make it sound as if your opinion is better than everyone elses.
Anyways, I personally do not like the shirt. During the summer months I try not to buy black shirts, plus the design just doesn't do much for me ...
mmmm i love grilled cheese.
Okay now I'm hungry.
I looove grilled cheese. In addition to the other suggestions here, I'd say try adding a few real bacon pieces on the melting cheese. Yum! Unless you're having it with a bowl of tomato soup. Then classic grilled cheese is the way to go.
Unfortunately, this design just doesn't capture the warm and yummy grilled cheese experience for me. I think it's a grilled cheese gone bad -- the center of the bread is toasted, but the outer part by the crust isn't!
First shirt I've bought. I have no idea why this gets me. It's like a Firebird symbol.
I love grilled cheese sandwiches, but not on a shirt. And a black shirt too...
Mustard. One must have mustard on a grilled cheese. And I like to use super sharp cheddar. On wheat bread. Mmmmm.
You have much wisdom zetec.
Many, many moons ago my babysitter taught us kids to dip grilled cheese sammiches in a glob of ketchup. Mmmmmmmm. I learned many things from her. One of the tidbits I learned was that peanut butter and jelly sammiches dipped in ketchup is NASTY. Sadly, I found this little pearl of wisdom out for myself.

i dont know about the rest of my fellow wooters... but that looks like a puke sandwhich...
if my grill cheese sandwhich was that drippy, i would have to take it to the doctor for a shot of penicillin.
I had to pick one up for my daughter. She's 7 and LOVES grilled cheese. This shirt was just perfect for her.
It also works out well because I just bought the Extinct shirt yesterday for my 5 year old son. No one will feel left out.
TAYLORT5 wrote:Black pepper works just as well.
i suddenly want to try some fresh peppercorn... anyone have any thoughts or experiences?
I don't know what kind of sick grilled cheese you guys eat, but I'm glad I have never had one with brown butter...
Wait - The grilled cheese is "insipid", but this is somehow acceptable as "shirt art?"
Wow. I wish I was your therapist.
looks more like some mutated alien than a grilled cheese.
Does this shirt really look as disgusting as I think? Is it just me?
it also vaguely reminds me of the triforce.. and not in a good way.
i dunno...black shirt + summer = pass.
not to mention i'm not too fond of the whole melty grilled cheese on a shirt thing.
How about making a shirt out of the Who's Buying map? And then make a shirt out of the Who's Buying Map for the sales of that Who's Buying map shirt? Then we'll find out who's behind all of this. I think it's the lizard people, but their retirement plan vacuums.
JadenKale wrote: Just a question, if you like my designs, why didn't you ever get a Nessie shirt? (checkin' out your sig, I don't happen to see one, so I was curious)
I actually love the Nessie shirt. But if I bought every shirt I liked on woot, I'd be broke. But the next one I see of yours up here, I'm buying. Hows that?
flipmeister wrote:[in a soft, jim gaffigan voice].... hoooottt pocket
Srsly. Go to Ye Olde Video Posting Site (*ahem*) and search "hot pockets jim gaffigan". Prepare to wet yourself. SO FUNNY.
My grilled cheese has to be with mayo on the outside. Just TRY it people, it's delicious. Ketchup FTW!
Kraft singles are acceptable ONLY when tomato-soup dunking is involved.
Why do you suspect so many Oregonians are wooting? Could it be because of the Tillamook cheese factory there?
Dead Pockets!

Never liked grilled cheesed. If this were cosmic Mac I'd probably be closer to salivating, though I can't think of the last time I described a t-shirt as delicious.
Neat idea, but I'm not going in only due to the fact that it doesn't look that much like a grilled cheese sandwich. On a shirt like this, it should be 100% obvious what it is, even from a bit of a distance. Shirts shouldn't need to be explained, especially abstract ones. . .

I gotta agree (And I think I'm the only person on the planet that does NOT put butter on their grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing but bread and cheese for me!)
i think being slightly hotter than your friends in white t-shirts is a small price to pay for such a wonderful design. grilled cheese is edible art and now we get to wear it!!!!!!!!!!
[This shirt tells the world: "This is why I ordered this shirt in 2XL."]
Actually, this shirt tells the world why I ordered it in 3XL... :o)
It ain't no Mr.Toast. Maybe if it had a face and cheese was oozing from the sides. Maybe a halo. It needs to look more like a real grilled cheese sandwich with freeflowing cheese. Looks like psychadellic grilled cheese. Too symmetrical. Just doesn't look like food.
I will both eat it and wear it.
Don't be stingy with the butter. It makes you look like an old Scrooge.
ghouck wrote:I gotta agree (And I think I'm the only person on the planet that does NOT put butter on their grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing but bread and cheese for me!)
How do you grill it without it sticking to the pan? Do you hold it over the burner with a pair of tongs?

Same here.

On my way to work this morning I saw a 1st-gen Lexus LS400 w/ cloth seats. I honestly had no idea you could even get cloth seating on any generation of the LS. I do seem to remember base models of the ES and RX being offered w/ cloth at one point, but I never knew about the LS.
What other luxury cars made within the last 15-20 years were available with cloth seats in North America?

If you don't believe a 1911 45 can fire from being dropped,It happened to me about 15 minutes ago,I was in the bathroom and as I pulled my shirt up to set my gun on the sink the shirt had got caught between the gun and my crossbreed holster as the shirt came up so did the gun and I watched it drop barrel first on my tiled concrete floor then I heard bang and thought OH DANG but with an S.My ears weren't ringing but there was a shunk of tile missing and a chip out of the edge of the bathtub,If you look at the picture you can see powder burns from the muzzle around the hole in the tile.I did get a small cut from shrapnel on my ankle and I had to put a band aid on it.I know the safety was engaged in the holster but i believe when the weapon was pulled from the holster and started to drop it was disengaged.Thank god nothing worse happened but the bullet was smashed flat and the copper jacket was in the tub and the lead was in the toilet.I gotta tighten up the retention on my holster and make sure i never get my shirt wedged between the gun and holster in the future.

*This story has been updated to reflect Sen. Dianne Feinstein's statement.
A day after the Academy Awards failed to recognize Zero Dark Thirty with any major awards — and nearly seven weeks after snubbing director Kathryn Bigelow altogether — the U.S. Senate closed its investigation into "inappropriate" meetings and conversations that Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal may have had with members of the CIA to research their movie, which tells the story of the secret American effort to track and kill Osama bin Laden. Reuters cited an anonymous congressional aide who said the Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), would not seek further action against the filmmakers, who came under fire in early 2012 when it was revealed they had close contact with several government agencies.
Zero Dark Thirty has been a lightning rod for controversy since even before it opened on Dec. 19. Initially, Republicans suspected the film would be wielded as pro-Obama propaganda in the heat of a presidential election. Later, politicians from both sides of the aisle challenged the accuracy of certain scenes, notably its depiction of waterboarding and other cruel interrogation tactics that are considered to be torture on suspected terrorists. Sen. Feinstein accused the filmmakers of "misleading" viewers with the impression that waterboarding contributed to the stealth raid that killed bin Laden in his Pakistani compound in May 2011. "Do I think that Feinstein used the movie as a publicity tool to get a conversation going about her report?" Boal told the Wall Street Journal last week, referring to her committee's report on enhanced interrogations. "I believe it."
Sen. Feinstein released a statement late Tuesday, saying the Senate Intelligence Committee did not request information from the filmmakers. "The committee has not made any contact with the filmmakers, did not request documents from any individual associated with the film, and have not conducted any investigation into the film whatsoever. We have simply asked questions of the intelligence community pertinent to our oversight responsibilities," she wrote.
Her full statement:
"In December, Senators Levin, McCain and I wrote to Acting CIA Director Michael Morell seeking information provided to the filmmakers of Zero Dark Thirty by the CIA. The CIA responded with information about its interaction with the filmmakers. I see no need to request further information. In a separate letter, Senators Levin, McCain and I requested the basis for CIA's view that enhanced interrogation techniques provided some intelligence that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden. The CIA's response to that letter is forthcoming.
"Finally, Senators Levin, McCain and I wrote to Sony Pictures in December and outlined our view that scenes in the film which credit CIA's interrogation techniques with leading directly to the takedown of bin Laden were inaccurate and misleading. The committee has not made any contact with the filmmakers, did not request documents from any individual associated with the film, and have not conducted any investigation into the film whatsoever. We have simply asked questions of the intelligence community pertinent to our oversight responsibilities."
The torture controversy suffocated the movie, with Bigelow being compared in print to Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl and the filmmakers repeatedly forced to explain and defend their choices amid scathing criticism. Once considered a favorite for Best Picture, Zero Dark Thirty received five nominations and won only one — a tie for Best Sound Editing. It's grossed $91.5 million at the box-office.
Neither filmmaker chose to comment on the latest development.

Surge Problem Found & Fixed
I recently bought a very clean 2002 530i MT w/ 73K miles that I soon learned had that same "surge" problem that others have experienced. The car would suddenly and randomly drop or add a few hundred rpms without any throttle input. It was really maddening.
I first had a full tune-up and injector cleaning done, but those efforts made no difference. This problem doesn't "throw a code", which makes it very hard to diagnose. I later tested many things myself and thorougly searched the engine for bad vacuum lines, dirty electrical connections, etc., but found nothing. Finally I took it to an excellent independent shop in my area - Bavarian Specialties in King of Prussia, PA. They quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem: worn seals in the VANOS unit.
The VANOS unit controls the variable valve cams. It's located at the front of the engine, and has electrical connections on each side. In essence it consists of two electrically-actuated hydraulic pumps. It works constantly, and Bavarian's mechanics told me that the rubber seals eventually wear until they get hard, leak or break, and then don't actuate properly.
They took the time to show me the internal workings of a VANOS unit after they fixed my car. They said there's a specific diagnostic test that can be performed to check the unit, but that a bad unit sometimes passes all of the tests. My unit passed all the tests except the last one, which they told me checked the length of time it takes to respond to a certain input. That failure indicated to them that the unit was losing pressure, which meant that the seals were bad.
I literally would have sold this car if I hadn't been able to get the problem fixed. Now the throttle is perfectly smooth and I love the car. I hope my experience helps someone else, because I was unable to find any definitive answer in my own research.
Also, I recommend following the suggestion made by some people I've read, as well as Bavarian's mechanics, and having your car's computer software updated at the same time.

Replace Rubber Flex lines on not
I'm installing a 2001 Chevy S10 Blazer Disc brake rearend that has two rubber brake lines, one for each side. Both lines are in excellent condition no cracks or rub marks, should I replace them now? I would like to replace them but all the replacements are Chinese and I've had some bad experiences with Chinese brake parts, had 2 new Oreillys rear wheel cylinders fail within a month and one brake light switch leak.
Should I keep the original USA lines or use the Chinese?
I bought stainless braided replacements from Summit.
Check these out.
Not sure if they´ll fit your year though.
brake lines
for me, i'd be keeping the orig as long as they are good cond.. as u mentioned u have an '01 chebby.. have u ck'd the brake tubing from the m/c that run along the top of frame ???? your in a good yr that chebby had major rusting of bk lines..'99-'07
Not that I like using chinese made junk but I have used parts store replacement hoses on a few different occasions now without an issue. In some cases thats all you can get anymore if the oem parts are not available or prohibitively expensive.
if the original hoses arnt swelling/soft/mushy/dry rotted and the end fittings if there steel instead of brass arnt rotten/rusty and ready to crumble apart (had a few hoses fail that way) I'd reuse them.
