Laminate Countertop in Bathroom Least Expense?
Have a non-standard 40" vanity. Already did the floor tile, so more or less stuck. Cultured marble quote (very basic) for >$450. Tiny bathroom, 6.5x6.5 tile to the ceiling in shower, matching 13x13 on floor. Too much tile if we did the counter as well?
Is laminate a good choice for looks/durability or just budget-friendly?
33 yrs old house in neighborhood with few if any upgrades throughout the block, so not dumping $$ in with expectation of recouping at eventual sale.
I usually go for a one piece pre-made unit counter & sink from HD or Lowes - not laminate, not sure what it is. But not expensive
We bought a nice one on clearance that someone special ordered for less then $100 - orig $350
Look for stone remnants. I can get a 36" vanity for under $400. You don't always have the best choices available but never hurts to check it out.
Stone (or quartz) would definitely help for resale.

What is the treatment for brain lesions?
Treatment for brain lesions depends upon the specific diagnosis of the brain lesion.
Can brain lesions be prevented?
Many brain lesions are neither preventable nor predictable. However, general guidelines for health maintenance may help prevent some brain lesions. The same recommendations to help prevent heart disease also are appropriate to help prevent strokes:
- Don't smoke
- Control high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes
- Always wear a helmet when participating in activities where the head is exposed to danger (for example, riding a bicycle or motorcycle, skiing, skateboarding, and rollerblading).
- Avoiding radiation and environmental toxins may reduce the chances for brain cancer development.
What is the prognosis for brain lesions?
The prognosis for surviving and recovering from a brain lesion depends upon the cause. In general, many brain lesions have only a fair to poor prognosis because damage and destruction of brain tissue is frequently permanent. However, some people can reduce their symptoms with rehabilitation training and medication.
A few brain lesions may have a good prognosis if only a small amount of less vital brain tissue is involved and/or early interventions are successful (for example, surgical removal of a small benign tumor, early effective antimicrobial treatment of meningitis, or transient ischemic attack [TIA or mini-stroke]).
Unfortunately, some brain lesions are relentless, progressive and ultimately have a poor prognosis (for example, Alzheimer's disease).

"Four recent pieces by Berlin-based instrumentalist, composer and improviser, Lucio Capece, all focusing on the process of listening. One piece performed by Konzert Minimal, the others all solo performances, including Lucio's extraordinary piece at the Halle des Expositions in Evreux, France, using speakers hanging from helium balloons and location recordings through cardboard tubes."-Another Timbre
Sleevenotes by Lucio Capece
"Since 2011 I have been working on pieces that focus on the listener experience. This has led me to search for methods and musical results that work on the listener's perception mechanisms, and, in particular, on the ways in which she/he hears sound and music, and inhabits a space.
For "Room Melody" and "Gravity Resonance" I deduced the resonant frequencies of my practise room and selected some of them to construct a melody. I played the melody on a slide saxophone, an old instrument that uses just one sliding key to change pitch. This not only enables me to play glissandi, but also frees any specific tone from the limitations created when an instrument is built according to the tempered (or any other) tuning system. I recorded the melody, then played back the recording through speakers, re-recording it using a binaural microphone attached to a balloon, which I moved in circles around the room.
On "Room Melody" I used the re-recording of the melody (stereo) to shadow the original recording (mono).
On "Gravity Resonance" I looped the re-recorded melody several times using a double looper until I could hear a long constant sound consisting of the dominant frequencies of the melody. This mirrors the technique used by Alvin Lucier in his seminal work 'I am Sitting in a Room'. However, instead of starting with any sound, I started with the resonant sounds of the practise room, and instead of finding the dominant frequencies by looping the sounds in the space, I looped them internally within the device. Finally I combined the resulting long sound with sounds produced by various kinds of analogue synthesisers.
"Groupings" was composed for the Berlin-based ensemble Konzert Minimal. The piece is concerned with the way our brains organise groups of ideas in order to understand a musical language. The structural source for the piece was the sound, timing and intensity of the quiet noise produced when an accordion is opened or closed without intending to play a tone. Whenever 'white noise' is produced by an acoustic instrument, it contains some frequencies that can be heard more clearly than others. The principal tone of the accordion's white noise became the tonal basis of the piece.
The tonal elements of the work are developed using basic auditory illusions that create ambiguous perceptions about the presence or absence of sounds depending on what occurs before, during or after these sounds. I also used other auditory illusions related to the overtone and undertone series, as well as a combination of harmonic spectrums, overlapping the Equal Temperament and Just Intonation tuning systems.
The piece was first performed at Ausland in Berlin on 23rd September 2014, and was recorded there without an audience on 29th July 2015.
"Space Tuning - Eiffel´s Halle des Expositions" is the latest version in a series of location-specific pieces called 'Space Tuning - Conditional Music'. These have been realised at Bern Cathedral, the Mambo Museum in Bologna, the German Pavilion in Barcelona built by Mies van der Rohe, the countryside around Kleylehof at night, an abandoned swimming pool in Aiguelez, a public library in Oslo, a former factory in Oxford, and a backyard in Buenos Aires.
Performances involve the playback of recordings made in the space by placing a microphone inside cardboard tubes of differing dimensions. These recordings are analysed for their spectral characteristics and then edited into an assembled soundfile. The soundfile is played back live within the space via a PA, and is combined with three other sound sources: selected sine tones based on the harmonic spectrum and formants of the recordings, electronically produced white noise (both of which are amplified through mobile wireless speakers hanging from helium balloons), and some live sounds which I play on soprano saxophone.
This latest realisation took place on 20th May 2015 in the Halle des Expositions, which was built about 100 years ago by Alexander Gustave Eiffel in Évreux, France. I used six flying speakers, three moved by people, and three moving in circles powered by small propellers. For the first time in the series I made the initial recordings of the space by placing the microphone inside cardboard tubes with dimensions selected to create the resonating frequencies of the Halle. Also, compared to previous versions, I used very low sine tones which were chosen to embrace the characteristics of the space.
On the day of the performance it was windy, with clouds being blown across the sky. The sun heated the glass roof of the building, but when the clouds returned, the glass cooled, producing cracking noises that can be heard during the performance. Birds also landed on the roof, making sounds with their feet on the glass."

Nation roundup for April 21
Study: Fuels from corn are not better than gas
WASHINGTON (AP) — Biofuels made from the leftovers of harvested corn plants are worse than gasoline for global warming in the short term, a study shows, challenging the Obama administration's conclusions that they are a much cleaner oil alternative and will help combat climate change.
A $500,000 study paid for by the federal government and released Sunday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Climate Change concludes that biofuels made with corn residue release 7 percent more greenhouse gases in the early years compared with conventional gasoline.
While biofuels are better in the long run, the study says they won't meet a standard set in a 2007 energy law to qualify as renewable fuel.
The conclusions deal a blow to what are known as cellulosic biofuels, which have received more than a billion dollars in federal support but have struggled to meet volume targets mandated by law. About half of the initial market in cellulosics is expected to be derived from corn residue.
The biofuel industry and administration officials immediately criticized the research as flawed. They said it was too simplistic in its analysis of carbon loss from soil, which can vary over a single field, and vastly overestimated how much residue farmers actually would remove once the market gets underway.
"The core analysis depicts an extreme scenario that no responsible farmer or business would ever employ because it would ruin both the land and the long-term supply of feedstock. It makes no agronomic or business sense," said Jan Koninckx, global business director for biorefineries at DuPont.
Later this year the company is scheduled to finish a $200 million-plus facility in Nevada, Iowa, that will produce 30 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol using corn residue from nearby farms. An assessment paid for by DuPont said that the ethanol it will produce there could be more than 100 percent better than gasoline in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
The research is among the first to attempt to quantify, over 12 Corn Belt states, how much carbon is lost to the atmosphere when the stalks, leaves and cobs that make up residue are removed and used to make biofuel, instead of left to naturally replenish the soil with carbon. The study found that regardless of how much corn residue is taken off the field, the process contributes to global warming.
"I knew this research would be contentious," said Adam Liska, the lead author and an assistant professor of biological systems engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "I'm amazed it has not come out more solidly until now."
NASA: Engineer vital to moon landing dies
SCARBOROUGH, Maine (AP) — John C. Houbolt, an engineer whose contributions to the U.S. space program were vital to NASA's successful moon landing in 1969, has died. He was 95.
Houbolt died Tuesday at a nursing home in Scarborough, Maine, of complications from Parkinson's disease, his son-in-law Tucker Withington, of Plymouth, Mass., confirmed Saturday.
As NASA describes on its website, while under pressure during the U.S.-Soviet space race, Houbolt was the catalyst in securing U.S. commitment to the science and engineering theory that eventually carried the Apollo crew to the moon and back safely.
His efforts in the early 1960s are largely credited with convincing NASA to focus on the launch of a module carrying a crew from lunar orbit, rather than a rocket from Earth or a space craft while orbiting the planet.
Houbolt argued that a lunar orbit rendezvous, or lor, would not only be less mechanically and financially onerous than building a huge rocket to take man to the moon or launching a craft while orbiting the Earth, but lor was the only option to meet President John F. Kennedy's challenge before the end of the decade.
NASA describes "the bold step of skipping proper channels" that Houbolt took by pushing the issue in a private letter in 1961 to an incoming administrator.
"Do we want to go to the moon or not?" Houbolt asks. "… why is a much less grandiose scheme involving rendezvous ostracized or put on the defensive? I fully realize that contacting you in this manner is somewhat unorthodox, but the issues at stake are crucial enough to us all that an unusual course is warranted."
Houbolt started his career with NASA's predecessor in Hampton, Va., in 1942, served in the Army Corps of Engineers, and worked in an aeronautical research and consulting firm in Princeton, N.J., before returning to NASA in 1976 as chief aeronautical scientist. He retired in 1985 but continued private consulting work.
Born April 10, 1919, in Altoona, Iowa, Houbolt grew up in Joliet, Ill., and earned degrees in civil engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned a doctorate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich in 1957.
Fracking foes cringe as unions back drilling boom
PITTSBURGH (AP) — After early complaints that out-of-state firms got the most jobs, some local construction trade workers and union members in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia say they're now benefiting in a big way from the Marcellus and Utica Shale oil and gas boom.
That vocal support from blue-collar workers complicates efforts by environmentalists to limit the drilling process known as fracking.
"The shale became a lifesaver and a lifeline for a lot of working families," said Dennis Martire, the mid-Atlantic regional manager for the Laborers' International Union, or LIUNA, which represents workers in numerous construction trades.
Martire said that as huge quantities of natural gas were extracted from the vast shale reserves over the last five years, union work on large pipeline jobs in Pennsylvania and West Virginia has increased significantly. In 2008, LIUNA members worked about 400,000 hours on such jobs; by 2012, that had risen to 5.7 million hours.
Nationally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says total employment in the nation's oil and gas industry rose from about 120,000 in early 2004 to about 208,000 last month. Less than 10 percent of full-time oil and gas industry workers are represented by unions.
Alex Paris, head of a Pittsburgh-area contracting firm founded by his grandfather in 1928, said many of the jobs in the early years of the boom went to out-of-state workers, perhaps because the biggest drilling firms come from Texas and Oklahoma. Now there's been a shift to hiring local contractors that use union labor.
"It has created more work for our business. There's jobs here for the first time in many, many years. Legitimate, good-paying jobs," Paris said of a region that was hit hard by the decline of the steel industry in the 1980s and '90s.
The increasing use of union construction labor has given energy companies a powerful ally as drilling is debated in communities nationwide. Many Republicans have been pro-drilling, but now some unions traditionally associated with Democrats are using their political clout to urge politicians to reject bans on pipelines or drilling.
For example, LIUNA has urged members of Congress to support liquefied natural gas exports and regional gas pipeline expansions, and union members plan to participate in a pro-drilling rally in Pennsylvania's capital next month.
"The unions are powerful and influential," said David Masur, director of Penn Environment, which has been critical of the drilling boom.
The Marcellus and Utica shale fields, rich in natural gas and oil, lie deep underneath large parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, and more than 6,000 new wells have been drilled there over the last five years.
In the early days of the shale drilling boom, there were complaints about the number of local jobs. In 2010, one union leader told a Pennsylvania House Labor Relations Committee that local people had little or no success in getting work from the industry. And even now some powerful unions are withholding judgment. Anthony Montana, a spokesman for the United Steelworkers, declined to comment on how much drilling is helping that industry.
But others say the trend toward more local jobs is clear.
Mike Engbert of the Ohio Laborers District Council said that while some companies still use a lot of out-of-state labor, "Across the board, job gains have really shot up."
For some, the drilling-related work is a big improvement over low-wage service jobs.
"I've probably worked 15 jobs, and none of them nearly as stable as this one, or nearly as interesting," said Amy Dague, 38, of Wheeling, W.Va. She's worked for a pipeline construction and maintenance company for a little more than a year.
"It's definitely changed the way I see my future. I see this as long-term employment," Dague said.
Some energy companies say they're happy with local workers, too.
Matt Pitzarella, a spokesman for Range Resources of Fort Worth, Texas, wrote in an email: "We are in need of reliable, consistent, quality work at a reasonable price and the local trades have stepped up in a significant way."
Some environmental groups worry that what's happening in the region is a repeat of the battle over the Keystone XL pipeline, when some major unions and green groups took opposite sides. Penn Environment has called for much stronger regulations and a ban on drilling in some areas, such as state forests.
"I understand the dynamic at play. It feels fairly short-sighted," Masur said of how workers and unions are embracing oil and gas drilling. "This could leave the same sort of legacy as coal." He urged more investments — and thus jobs— in wind and solar power.

Theft in a Knordwyn Shop
ENGLAND WAS ONE of Thomas P. Stanwick's favorite summer destinations. Among the amateur logician's regular haunts was the beautiful Northumbrian village of Knordwyn. Its cobbled streets, crooked streams, and surrounding green hills were particularly soothing to his eye, and the peculiarities of its inhabitants were particularly intriguing to his mind. Half of them never told the truth, and the other half never lied. His powers of deduction were therefore often tested.
One day in late August, Stanwick arrived in Knordwyn, checked into the Grey Boar Inn, and took a long late-morning walk through the village. After lunching at a pub near the village square, he walked down a nearby street and knocked on the door of an old friend, truth teller Winston Langworth, who was the chief constable in Knordwyn.
"Thomas!" boomed Langworth when he answered the door. His large, ruddy face, framed by a Lincoln beard, showed his surprise. "1 wasn't expecting you, but do come in. "We thought you would be here for the Queen Anne Festival, which ended ten days ago."
"Sorry I couldn't attend the festival this year," said Stanwick as he was ushered to the front parlor of Langworth's small home. "I had an editing project to finish up back home."
"Pity. There was an especially good juggling troupe this year. Ah, well, you're just in time."
"In time for what?"
"To help me unravel a little robbery case."
"Oh?" Stanwick eased himself into an armchair and lit his pipe. "Who's been robbed?"
"David Ashton, the dispensing chemist up on High Way. A bag of cash receipts was taken from behind the counter of his shop this morning."
"Hmm." Stanwick reminded himself that a dispensing chemist in Britain was the same as a pharmacist in the States. He also suppressed the impulse to make a bad pun about High Way robbery.
"Behind the counter. Is his Clerk suspected?"
"No. Like Ashton, Marianne Witherby is a truthteller, and she denies stealing it. When I visited the shop, I saw that anyone could have reached under the cash register, where the bundle had been kept, and taken it. Marianne says the bag was there at nine this morning when she added some notes to it for a later bank deposit. "The only entrance to the- shop is the front door," continued Langworth, "and a bell rings whenever the door opens. Only three people visited the shop this morning, all at different times. Any of them might have gotten near the counter while Marianne was busy elsewhere. When she returned to the counter at noon to prepare the deposit, the bag was gone. No customers were there at the time, but she raised the alarm with Ashton, who was in the back room having tea." Stanwick gratefully accepted a cup of Earl Grey.
"Was Marianne able to identify that morning's three customers?"
"She was. All three are villagers, but we don't know whether they are liars or truthtellers. I called them and asked them to come by here for a chat."
The first arrived a few minutes later. Jane Speakman, a barmaid -in her late twenties, sported a black jacket, a black skirt, and black boots. Her blue eyes helped set off a small nose ring. She was followed shortly by Joseph Sweeney, a garage mechanic in his thirties. His red beard was framed by a cap and grease-stained overalls.
Langworth's final visitor was Robert Snow, a clean-shaven solicitor in his early forties who wore a three-piece suit. He nervously ran his hand through his thinning sandy hair as the five of them sat down in the parlor.
"Thank you all for coming;' said Langworth blandly. "I told each of you on the phone of the theft at the chemist's this morning. You three were the only visitors during that time, and I have reason to believe that the clerk is innocent. One of you must therefore be the thief. And perhaps those who are not know who is."
"I've never stolen anything in my life," said the barmaid emphatically. "The three of us hardly know each other, in any case."
"She's right;' added Sweeney. "I certainly didn't steal the money."
"In fact, we three know each other rather well," said the solicitor.
"Either I did not steal the money or Sweeney here is innocent."
Langworth frowned and cleared his throat. "I can assure you that I will get to the bottom of this matter."
"Indeed, constable, you already have," remarked Stanwick languidly, with only a hint of gentle sarcasm in his tone. "Congratulations on a brilliant interrogation. The identity of the thief is quite clear."
Who stole the money from the shop?
Scroll down for the answer.
Theft in a Knordwyn Shop
Since the three visited the shop at different times, only one could have taken the bag. Snow's second statement that, in effect, he and Sweeney are not both guilty must therefore be true. Snow is therefore a truthteller, so his first statement is also true. Since this statement contradicts Speakman's first statement, she is a liar, and since Sweeney says she is right, he's also a liar. His second statement is therefore false, so he is the thief. Speakman must have stolen something sometime in her life, but not this time!

Roy: CMHC Dream
It's 4:30 AM now, and I just awoke suddenly, heart pounding, frightened, unable to go back to sleep.
I just had a dream.
Kinda weird dream, but ending in one of those sit-bolt-upright-awake kind of deals. Might as well tell the story, since I can't go back to sleep.
So I'm sitting at my desk, leaning back in my chair, talking with a social worker about the "client" she just evaluated. We are sitting in a small front office room, big enough for two desks and a small waiting area. I mean small waiting area. There are 3 of those cheap, plastic-with-metal-legs type of chairs. The only light comes from two fluorescent, overhead fixtures, one missing it's lens, both with only half the bulbs working, in addition to that coming from the frosted, display-type, storefront windows on either side of our front door, which has a 2-inch, metal bell on it. The walls are old, cheap paneling, some with faded bits of yellow tape where signs used to hang. Two of the dropped ceiling tiles in a corner are stained with old water damage, the top of the paneling there buckling slightly. There's a few signs on the wall and a calendar... The kind that that comes from the local car dealer... turned to September, with a red 1965 convertible Impala on it.
It's the same calendar page I saw yesterday morning when I picked up the rental car at my car dealer while my 1999 Chevy Malibu was getting serviced (the sunroof won't close). I remember it because it looked a lot like my old 1964 convertible Chevy Malibu that I drove throughout college and medical school. My first car. That was a good car. It was never in the shop, and I had no trouble closing the roof.
Interesting. The paneling in the dream office was the same as in the car rental office, as were the waiting room chairs. Well, that's how dreams go. And I'm sure it's Dinah's mention of her writing class that has got me in this writing mood.
The door bell jingles and in walks a little girl. "Can I help you?" I ask.
"Do you make home visits?", she asks, in a surprisingly mature and succinct way.
"We can. What do you need help with?" I'm working in a small, community mental health clinic (CMHC), set up just off Main Street in a storefront office that probably used to be a bakery or something.
"My mom's needs help with her depression. I just live two blocks away." She turns and goes out the door, standing there, waiting patiently. This is just odd. She doesn't sound frightened or upset. I tell the social worker that since there are no scheduled patients for me, I'll go check it out. I grab my jacket and my ID badge and go outside, in the cool, fall air. The girl starts walking, and I follow her.
I see that the office is in a past-its-prime, small town. In fact, it is very much like the CMHC that Dinah and I used to work in, some 10 years ago. So I follow the little girl, blond hair, probably 6 or 7, dressed in a just-started-first-grade kinda dress. It's like 3 in the afternoon and sunny. She stays ahead of me, very determined and sure of herself. We walk silently. She's clearly on a mission.
We walk up to this block of small, one-floor houses, all with front porches and mature trees in the front. There's a metal, chain-link gate, but it's open. We walk up the three concrete steps, which are off-kilter from tree roots pushing them up. We go up the steps to the front porch and she takes out a key from her pocket and opens the door.
Now I'm expecting this place to be a mess. I have this image of a mother, laying in bed all day, with little Susie six-year-old taking care of the house. The little girl excuses herself while I stand awkwardly in the foyer. It's a nice, little home, not at all a mess. I hear some murmuring, then the little girl comes back and motions me to follow her. I take a deep breath and enter the small living room, where mother is sitting, dressed nicely, on a sofa chair. I'm thinking, "She doesn't look depressed. What is all this about?"
I introduce myself as a psychiatrist who works with the County Mental Health Department, and that her daughter came to us and asked for some help. As I'm talking, I notice that the woman makes no eye contact with me, instead staring at her daughter the whole time, with this odd fake smile and a look that seems to silently be saying to her daughter "what the hell did you do this for but I can't look upset about it or else something bad will happen."
As I'm talking, I become aware of a man dressed in a checkered, polyester suit, standing about three feet to my left, leaning against the wall, listening to me talk. I'm also vaguely aware of two other, younger children.
"So she told you I'm 53, did she?" he blurts out, more to himself than to me. I'm talking for another minute or two and I'm getting the vibe that father is getting upset, from the looks on the mother's face. The little girl just sits there, staring straight ahead, attentive but silent, as if she's waiting for things to fall into place.
All of a sudden, the father starts talking to me in a very calm, disarming voice, then suddenly changes his demeanor to intense anger and rage, precedes his action with a "Why, you little...", then leans in towards me and violently spits in my face.
Bold upright. Heart pounding. I'm awake in my living room, where I'd fallen asleep.
And I'm still trying to decide if it was a dream or do I need to do something. I quickly realize that it was a dream, but just can't get back to sleep. I think that I would have rushed out of the house, then called 911, charging the father with assault, followed by a call to Child Protective Services. The whole thing was just weird.
Might as well get up and make some coffee.

they our so many scam for people coming from russia I just want to know if this sound like a scam before I sent money our pay for it.
Joseph,Thank you for your patience. I do apologize for the delay. Based on my review I could not find any agency by such a name. Furthermore, if you have never met this person in real life and she is requesting that you cover her costs, it is already fairly likely to be fraudulent. Finally, these types of scams are highly popular in that country so I ask you to be as vigilant as you can be. This is NOT a valid claim and please do not send this person any money. Good luck!

Powers Mocks Tips On Way To " 'Green' Your 4th" of July Celebrations

Responding to a New York Times op-ed by The Washington Post's Brian Palmer on tips to green-up Fourth of July grilling, Malkin's guest blogger Doug Powers wrote:
For other ways to "green" your 4th, I suggest printing several copies of the above article, setting them on fire, and cooking burgers and hot dogs over the flames.

You'll still get the "boom," plus you'll be helping get those carbon nightmares out of circulation. It's a brand of "green" firework serves as its own offset.

Mayflies of the Driftless Region
by Clarke Garry, Gaylord Schanilec
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A book made like they used to make 'em. Each color in every image is a separate wood block that has gone through the lengthy process of carving, registration, proofing and revision before going to press. Each letter of every word on the page and, indeed, the dust jacket, is its own individual piece of metal, and all are set letter by letter, space by space, line by line, The result is a book in which each mark, every space, and every page has been carefully laid out and painstakingly built by hand. This tends to give the somewhat unpromising subjects of entomology and fly fishing a certain strange kind of sublimity.

Oddly enough, however, the great romantic composer's name is generally
rendered "Tchaikovsky" in English, with the "tch" combination that is not
used in any other English transliterations of Russian names. In olden days
the German or German-like spelling "Tschaikowsky" was more common.

I just completed this for my niece who is having a baby girl in April. I agree with the other review, it was at times difficult to follow and was unclear on how to join each row. It did turn out beautiful and my niece is very happy with it, but honestly, the skirt part looks nothing like the picture.

Kathy N
I find this pattern to be quite difficult to follow even though it has written as well as graph directions. It is unclear how to join properly and I get lost in the graph. Sorry. I really wanted to make this pretty little dress but I don't have the time to try to figure the pattern out.

focus titanium parasytic drain
I have a focus titanium 2.0l tdci 2005. Every morning when go to start car the battery is flat. It had been to two garages but neither can find the problem. It has had a new battery , new alternator but still isn't fixed. All I have noticed is that the green mileage light never goes out. Every morning it is still on. Don't know if this is anything to do with it, but do know I feel like pulling my hair out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.[:(!]
ok something is deffinetly draining the battery can you pull the fuse for the mileage light see if that changes the battery going dead
Replace the "Power Hold Relay".
Yeah something is allowing all systems to remain powered all night.
Some computer add on gizmo caused that if it was installed also.
So I can see if the car never turns off the aux at all...
What he said. the relay.
I recently went thru something very similar on my daughter's '02 SE wagon. The symptoms were slightly different (she doesn't have a green mileage indicator on this car), but the effects were the same: a brand new battery going flat overnight. A voltmeter reading in the evening showed 12.8-13.0 volts & the next morning it would be 11.6-11.8 volts.
The problem turned out to be a faulty brand new alternator. I had to take the car to a specialty automotive electrical shop (servicing RV/campers & work trucks) in order to track down the issue. They identified the alternator as allowing voltage in the reverse direction (battery to alternator) when the car was off. They measured 4 to 6 amps of draw, & pointed out that the alternator would even 'hum' sometimes when the car was off!
Before having it tested I was disconnecting the negative battery cable at night & reconnecting it in the morning to keep the battery fresh. This was a bit of a hassle, so I installed a battery 'quick disconnect' so that she could disconnect/reconnect with a few quick turns of a knob.
After having it tested I took the independent test report to the parts store & got a free replacement alternator. The first new/remanufactured alternator cost USD $140 & came with a 1 yr warranty. The electrical testing cost another USD $85, but it was worth it to know exactly the source of our problem & to avoid any hassles from the parts store.
After replacing the alternator again ([scream]), a voltmeter test showed a solid 12.8 volts after parking overnight.
In any regard the one for sure thing is that the battery is leaking voltage somehere, take iminhell's advice then if that doesnt work check the connections particularly those from the hot side of the battery.xD

91 ranger 2.3 cracked Oil pan
I have a guy with a cracked oil pan on a 91 ranger 2.3.
Its an aluminum pan, and its cracked at the rear on both sides of the rear main / main saddle area.
A young buck owns it. 5 Speed standard.
I think he was thrashing it. Anyone else see this ?
I've never seen it on the aluminum pans but I see it all the time on the stock steel ones. We end up filling the outer edge with additional weld and not over torque it.
loose bolts
If he had some loose bell housing bolts that might let let things move and fatigue the metal. the oil pan was designed to tie the bottom half of the bell housing to the engine, thru the oil pan. make everything rigid so the bell housing wouldn't have to be so beefy.
Just put a clutch in it. Bolts are all tight. Just wasnt sure if abuse by the young owner could have cracked it. Excessive thrust/ dumping the clutch etc .

A quaint little country garden, once beautifully maintained,is now fallen into ruin.
The dead weeds and vines covering the garden wall and the dirty, cracked pottery show that neglect and drought has taken its toll since the owner of the property passed away. From beneath the dead plants and vines the fallen sculpture of a "greenman" ,an ancient symbol of nature and rebirth, appears to smile as he looks upon the buds of wildflowers that have begun to sprout from the remains of the long dead cultivated plants, the little flowers bringing color and life back to the garden and transforming their bleak surroundings with their beauty.
I really hope that I can find the time to finish this challenge, but even if I can't I would like to give it a try. It's the journey that counts, as they say.

New AIS link
I have been following the AIS stuff pretty heavily and will be plunging for the purchase of a AIS B transponder now that they are FCC approved. I actually find that for normal cruising in the Puget Sound that AIS works incredibly well in lieu of having a Radar up and running. Combine Radar and AIS you got a kick butt target tracking system.
However ran across this link from the guys over at Navagear.com: Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic System
It doesn't cover everywhere - and I found the data for Puget Sound only focused around the straits but for some of you geeks out there - link may be of interest.
Cool Jody. I have an "air card" for my work laptop. With that website, I can get AIS info through the internet on the work boat!
Even better - looks like around your neck of the woods they really get the info for it - great blend of technology actually. Will be decent to see how it goes for the AIS-B systems - it could be the poor mans Spot tracker of sorts...
Here's another AIS site to check out:
YACHTMARINE - Live AIS World Ship Monitoring
Good Northwest coverage; I haven't checked out other regions. Even works with the iPhone. Refresh rate is only every 5 minuites, but you can see that the 16 knot, 935' container ship two hours ahead of time.
Thanks for posting the site Jody.
I believe AIS is on par with GPS as a useful technology. With RADAR and a chart, you could find your way in a nighttime fog, but with RADAR, GPS and AIS, you can find others, and naturally, you still have the paper chart for when the GPS goes wonky.*
Of course, AIS and GPS are frequently interlinked, so AIS data does not, in fact, replace deck watches, and if the AIS shows the only ship in 10 miles bearing away and the RADAR calls for a collision, believe the RADAR.
I personally think that the greatest value of AIS is to identify local traffic and to tell big ships where you are relative to their track. I have had conversations with lake freighters even in little Lake Ontario where they have not seen me on RADAR even when provided with a reciprocal bearing, although a good pair of binoculars usually reveals me or my lights.
To be fair, my steel boat apparently is visible to RADAR on either shore <G>.
Anyway, my schoolmarmish tone is just to reinforce that AIS is cool, but not, as I have read in certain spots, a "replacement" for anything. It gives supplemental information to the usual careful watch that should be kept in any case.
*Anyone who thinks "it won't" or "it can't" hasn't watched the GPS co-ordinates wildly correct without warning, hasn't seen "tests" by the military alter the accuracy, again without warning, hasn't found their plot mysteriously cutting through a peninsula, or is someone who thinks the current solar surface "quiet period" will last, like the bull market, forever.
Way too cool

The decision by a government advisory panel to recommend smallpox vaccination for about 15,000 health care and law enforcement workers raises logistical and ethical issues involving not just the people who will get the vaccine but also those who will come in contact with them.
If experience from the time when smallpox vaccine was routinely administered to the public is a guide, doctors say, some of the 15,000 ''first responders'' who receive the vaccine may suffer serious -- potentially even deadly -- complications. Steps may also have to be taken to protect certain people who come in contact with others who receive the vaccine, which infects recipients with live vaccinia virus, a relative of smallpox. Because those vaccinated can shed this virus, they can spread its smallpox protection as well as its complications.
The risk is especially high for people with a history of common skin conditions like eczema and those whose immune systems are weakened by treatment for cancer, infection with the AIDS virus or other conditions. So some doctors say it may be necessary to screen potential recipients before offering them the vaccine.
The panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, recommended vaccination for two teams of designated health workers in each state: public health officials who would investigate the initial cases in a smallpox attack and medical personnel in hospitals that government officials would designate to care for smallpox victims.Continue reading the main story
The number of teams would vary with the population and geography of each state. The plan calls for at least one health care treatment team for every million in population. It was not clear how the policy, if adopted, would deal with workers in these hospitals who chose not to be vaccinated.
Government officials have recommended against widespread vaccination because, in the absence of a known smallpox threat, the vaccine's dangers seem to outweigh its benefits. Smallpox vaccine has a significantly higher risk of serious side effects than other vaccines.
If the panel's recommendations are adopted as policy, the immunizations would be the largest number given in this country since it stopped routine smallpox vaccinations in 1972. Until now, the government has restricted use of smallpox vaccine to scientists who work with smallpox and related viruses in a laboratory. About 11,000 such workers have received the vaccine since 1983, said Dr. Harold Margolis, an official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention here.
After the anthrax attacks last fall, the disease centers asked the panel to determine whether more Americans should get the vaccine.
In choosing a relatively small group, the panel did not decide on the logistics for putting the recommendations into effect and left the planning for that up to the government. That, too, will not be an easy task, said the panel's chairman, Dr. John F. Modlin of Dartmouth Medical School. Among problems needing resolution is who will pay compensation to workers who develop vaccine complications.
Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, the acting deputy director of the centers, the federal agency that would have primary responsibility for monitoring the policy, said the C.D.C. would work out the plans ''over the next several months.''
By early 2003, the government expects to have enough vaccine made from a new technique to protect every American. But until then a high priority is to make sure that available vaccine is used efficiently in case it is needed in an emergency.
Although many states have begun assembling the teams, fall seems the earliest that the first team members would receive vaccinations.
The government owns all smallpox vaccine, which it classifies as ''investigational.'' That means each recipient's written consent would be required after its considerable dangers are explained.
Vaccination will be voluntary, and issues of confidentiality concerning a person's health could pose problems.
''There's no single answer, and the states will have to talk it through,'' Dr. Margolis said.
Sore arms, swollen lymph nodes and fever can occur in up to 50 percent of recipients. Because the vaccinia is live, it can spread to cause severe skin infections, sometimes destroying tissue and causing permanent disability. Or vaccinia can be spread just to the eye and permanently blind. Vaccinia can also cause brain damage from encephalitis in about 1 in 100,000 vaccination recipients and death in about 1 in 1 million recipients.
Some complications can be modified by injection of a natural substance known as vaccine immune globulin, which is derived from the blood of people who have been vaccinated against smallpox. But there is only enough of the substance to treat about 600 patients.
Although many of the 11,000 vaccine recipients since 1983 have had to stay out of work for a few days, none have needed vaccine immune globulin, Dr. Margolis said.
But when about 125 health workers were vaccinated at the disease centers last fall, doctors who gave the injections were surprised by the number and severity of adverse reactions. Many recipients were treated with antibiotics in the erroneous belief that the site of vaccination had become infected. Older doctors who had given smallpox vaccine in decades past told their younger colleagues that the skin reactions were from the vaccine. Doctors who conducted recent trials to test the safety and effectiveness of diluting the vaccine had a similar experience.
Another potential problem is that a recipient can inadvertently pass on vaccinia to other people who have not consented to a vaccination.
''If you get immunized with vaccinia, you can infect people around you from your vaccinia scab,'' Dr. Gerberding said. ''So while you may accept the risk for yourself, you would be imparting a risk to your contacts.''
A question that the panel did not address, but that is likely to arise, is whether to do an H.I.V. blood test before a person is vaccinated.
When the centers immunized a number of workers last fall, the recipients were asked if they were infected with H.I.V., but a blood test was not performed. H.I.V. tests have been required for other smallpox vaccine recipients.Continue reading the main story

YouTube message
Budget $30 USD
You have your setting in YouTube such that I couldn't message you within YouTube, and the only way I can see here to message you is to pretend to be hiring you!
You draughtsmanship is impressive. I found the site where you have posted your example pictures very difficult to navigate around, but this was possibly my incompetence at work. It must take you quite a few hours to produce such fine pictures, and I wouldn't be able to compensate you properly in money terms for your efforts and skill, but if you are happy to expand your portfolio with works to which you retain copyright, that just happen to serve as illustrations for my videos, then if you give me permission to use the images, I would be happy to credit you prominently. I shall have to give some thought to subjects that would suit. I am busy for the next month, and whatever I come up with is unlikely to surface in that time. Thanks for contacting me. Don't hesitate to remind me, or suggest ideas of your own. I am somewhat distracted by other issues at the moment.
Roughly how long does it take you to create one of the pictures?

The federal government today talked up its higher education reforms, saying one Sydney university had abolished HECS fees for some subjects as a direct result of the package.
Acting Education Minister Peter McGauran said Macquarie University was the first tertiary institution to lower HECS fees for some students under the government's higher education package, which passed through the Senate in December after months of political wrangling.
Macquarie University's vice-chancellor Di Yerbury said student HECS payments for subjects exclusive to its advanced courses in biology, chemistry and mathematics, would be cut to zero, beginning next year.
The move affected 150 of the university's 27,000 students, and would lower students' total HECS debt by up to 12 per cent.
HECS payments for honours students in the advanced science and technology courses would be slashed by 30 per cent, she said.
Mr McGauran said this was the first time since 1986 that a university had applied zero HECS to subjects and was an example of Education Minister Brendan Nelson's $2.4 billion higher education reform package taking effect.
Under the five-year package, universities can set fees at up to 25 per cent above HECS rates and about one-third of places will be reserved for full-fee paying students.
"Today is an example of that policy applying to the benefit of students, a lowering of HECS. It is a watershed in higher education in this country," he told reporters.
If the Labor Party came to power, it would control the higher education system from Canberra and take away the freedom the federal government had allowed universities to make their own decisions about HECS, Mr McGauran said.
"They [universities] want to provide the best education to students but in a straitjacket they are unable to do so and that's what the Labor Party policy is," he said.
"The Labor Party will decide the HECS level for different courses. The Labor party will raise the HECS that Macquarie have now lowered or abolished."
Mr McGauran predicted Macquarie University's move to lower or abolish HECS payments for some subjects would start a "price war" and other institutions would have to follow suit to attract students.

1. Split your hair into 4 sections. Down the middle and then behind your ears.
2. Twist each section so your hair is going AWAY from your face.
3. Blow dry each section focusing on your roots first (those take the longest) and then the middle to ends while keeping the hair in a twist.
5. Once your hair is completely dry, keep it in these 4 "ringlet" sections until they are no longer warm from the heat of the blow dryer. Cooling them is the key to your blow out maintaining it's curl and smoothness.
*This works on almost all hairtypes, you should even try it if you think your hair doesn't hold a curl because you might find that it will hold these waves.
** I would recommend using a bit of salt spray when your hair is wet, I find it helps your hair dry a bit faster and holds the curl better.

Fort Defiance, a little bar in Brooklyn, recently threw a party for Evacuation Day, the long celebrated but now forgotten holiday marking the final retreat of British forces from New York Harbor in 1783. Nothing wrong with a little retro patriotic jingoism, but this outer-borough contingent seems to have missed the real story: the British have retaken Manhattan in force. Sure, there's always been a cross-pond mutual appreciation society between New York and London. (We feel sophisticated over there; they can relax here.) What's different about the newest British invasion is that it's not just bankers buying co-ops, rock stars on furlough, or weekend holidaymakers with pounds to spend. With the arrival of the latest crop of restaurateurs, hoteliers, and tastemakers, New York is getting a shot of British style.
Richard Caring
The tycoon is behind Le Caprice (and its new Manhattan outpost), the Ivy, J Sheekey, Daphne's, Scott's—as well as London clubs Annabel's and Harry's Bar.
"Opening Le Caprice in New York City was a natural choice for us, it was really a matter of when."
Sir Philip Green
The billionaire British retailer brought a dose of glamour to budget fashion, installing Kate Moss
as a designer at Topshop and opening a flashy flagship store on Broadway in a down economy.
April Bloomfield
With the Spotted Pig, English chef April Bloomfield introduced the concept of the gastropub to a city without pubs. Now she and co-owner Ken Friedman are hoping to re-create some of that magic with the Breslin at the Ace Hotel. Bloomfield, who was introduced to Spotted Pig partner Mario Batali by Jamie Oliver, comes to New York by way of London's River Café.
"My first night in New York I ate at three of Mario Batali's restaurants. I was incredibly stuffed!"
Jamie Oliver
In addition to his expanding shelf of books and his growing Fifteen restaurant empire
, the former Naked Chef debuts the U.S. version of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on ABC this season.
"The incredible variety of food in places like Flushing, Queens, is mesmerizing."
Kit Kemp
Husband and wife Tim and Kit Kemp run the stylish stable of Firmdale Hotels, including the Soho Hotel, Haymarket, and Knightsbridge, in London, and now the Crosby Street Hotel, in SoHo.
"Just like New York, the Crosby is all about color, individuality, and a sense of community."
Jeremy King
Along with well-known multitasking co-owners Graydon Carter and Jeff Klein, King has turned Monkey Bar into that very English of institutions: the restaurant as private club.
"New Yorkers are infinitely more social. In London, chaps demurely nod at each other across the room, while New Yorkers are hugging and slapping each other's backs—they seem to enjoy themselves so much more."

Pendulum to release 'Ransom' in aid of Japan relief fund
Aussie electro-rock crew do their bit for the earthquake cleanup
Pendulum are to released their track 'Ransom' for the Japanese disaster fund.
The previously unreleased track from their 'Immersion' album sessions will be available to buy only through the band's website. All money is set to go towards the Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières, both organisations who are doing relief work in areas affected by the Japan earthquake and tsunami.
The band said of their decision:
"As you may or may not know, we excluded a number of tracks from the final version of 'Immersion'. One in particular caused considerable outcry amongst fans, a little track called 'Ransom' that we made for Miami WMC 2009. It was omitted from the album because we didn't think it fit, and we were waiting for a good enough reason to let people have it.
Given the recent tragic events in Japan, we thought it would be a good idea to finally make it available on our website and donate the proceeds to charities which we feel have the best chance of helping out... 100% of the proceeds will be divided equally between the Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org.uk/) and Doctors Without Borders (MSF) (http://www.msf.org.uk/)."
The track is available now from the official Pendulum website.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart scored a victory on Monday when the Supreme Court threw out the largest sex-discrimination case in U.S. history. Still, the nation's biggest private employer has been forced to address the issues raised in the suit.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has set up a women's council that represents each of the overseas markets and focused training and other efforts on advancing women into management roles. As a result, Wal-Mart says the percentage of entry and midlevel women managers has increased over the past five years from 38.8 percent to 41.2 percent. Some analysts say Wal-Mart is moving in the right direction, but the company has a ways to go. They note that there is only one woman among CEO Mike Duke's 11 direct reports.

Sony Ericsson C905 Cybershot Phone - 8 Megapixel Masterpiece?
Is there a masterplan? Are mobile phone manufacturers trying to tempt consumers to leave their many and differing gadgets at home?
This certainly seems to be the case with one manufacturer, Sony Ericsson have just released their highest specification camera phone to date, offering a whopping 8.1 megapixel camera lens the new C905 Cybershot phone is sure to impress.
The C905 is a groundbreaking Cybershot and a first for the Swedish company, making it a genuine alternative to a compact digital camera.
Could it be time to search out the mobile phone that offers all of our gadget needs in one place rather than humping a shed load of devices around with us? The high quality of the C905's photos means that we can definitely leave that standalone digital camera at home but what about our entertainment and communication needs?
Well, the Sony Ericsson C905 also offers a built-in MP3 player with a large memory that is also expandable with the use of a Sony Ericsson Memory Stick, so yes, we could also leave the iPod or other MP3 player on charge. The media player comes with an FM Radio, TrackID, Album Art and Play Now, to make the music experience much smoother.
When it comes to communications and entertainment the Sony C905 is ready to please, the obvious high quality of the manufacturers crystal clear talk technology means that conversation is a real pleasure whilst onboard gaming will help any games addict while away the hours on long train trips and the like. For the internet user the C905 has an Access NetFront Web Browser, WAP 1.2.1, WAP 2.0 XHTML and Web Feeds, so you will never be without the internet keeping the user fully communicated at all times.
Getting back to the main selling point of this beautifully designed phone, the camera has some great features including a Xenon flash, auto focus, face detection and image stabiliser to name just a few. Users can make videos of their friends and family with the video recording feature and the phone even has a video stabiliser and a video light. To show the world what has been going on users can upload pictures and video quickly and easily to their blog for the world to see.
There are only two other devices capable of taking high quality pictures via an 8 megapixel camer alens, these are the LG KC910 Renoir and Samsung Pixon, the C905 Cybershot may have stiff competition from these two rival handsets but could win over consumers with its huge feature range and slightly better camera resolution.
The Sony C905 has a real sense of durability and sturdiness, finished in a brushed metal finish giving it a sophisticated & expensive feel. This groundbreaking handset is one of the releases of the year and the most advanced camera phone to date.
The Sony Ericsson C905 Cybershot is a sleek looking mobile phone that comes in a variety of colours; Ice Silver, Night Black and Copper Gold (also known as Inca Gold). A contemporary mobile phone with all the features needed and more.
