Upgrading tub/shower hardware w/ stuck seat
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
I have an old shower/tub setup with a hot, diverter, and cold line. The diverter and cold were leaking so I decided to buy this hardware replacement kit in hopes of it ending the leaking issue (old Sayco hardware). The problem I'm having is getting the seats out. It seems like the piping the seats rest in are covering the lip of the seat making it impossible to take the seats out. I stared at it real hard but I could easily be wrong. I had to cut out an access panel to get at the back of the pipes and I found this weird long single piping piece, check it out:
Now, with this big hunk of piping would I have to do anything special to get the seats out or should they spin out normally?
Here's the pic of inside the piping on the shower/tub side where the seat is located, I made notes on the photo:

no should be able to fix from front in place. the set of seat wrenches i have has 4 sizes not sure if that is it or not with out seeing it. i usually suggest changing out the valve for a more modern single handle valve with a 3 hole to one hole trim piece
Thanks for the tip. With that being said do you think I should use an "easy-out" to remove the frozen seats? They're really stuck in the pipping. Do you have any other tricks/hints to getting tough seats out? Thanks!
Also if you end up going into the hard plumbing to solve this problem I'd also recommend going more modern with what's sometimes called washerless. I just replaced some seats and cartridge units that were 27 years old and it was a snap.
A short squirt of PB blaster might help, break mineral build up and corrosion then flush out real good.
Wadda ya mean "weird long single piping piece" looks like mine, before I went single valve, didn't need jay's kit, carefully popped some tiles and rearanged/ replaced um. Now that I look again, that looks exactly like mine. What were you doing in my closet? and with a camera?
Unfortunately though my cold water stem is still leaking. I think I know what the problem is though. There's a threaded piece you put over the o-ring before inserting the stem that's used to hold the fancy stem cover. When I go to tighten the stem the stupid o-ring gets all bunched up and doesn't stay under the stem like it should. I tried butter and vegetable oil but the damn thing (and only the cold water stem) still binds the o-ring and prevents a nice seal. I don't understand what's so different since the hot and diverter gave me no problems in regards to this. I am at least a step forward though since when everything's shut off there's no more leaking.
a squirt of PB in my coffee gets my day off with a blast.
To flush it I just turn the water on a few seconds after removing stem or what ever.
O-ring, I hate when my O-rings get all in a bunch. Try plumbers grease, made for the purpose. Butter is for flapjacks, vegetable oil is for creaky carrots. Check the packing nut and stem for any roughness, nicks, mineral build up. Make sure O-ring is correct size. Might still need a twist of packing string.
Kids! Ask Mom to fry up a big pan of PB Blaster and O-Rings in plumbers grease tonight! Its Ohhhhhh Right!
Thanks for the reply and the comedic relief. Unfortunately I gave up and gave my plumber friend a call. I definitely wouldn't put it past my inexperience but I usually get almost all things to work out one way or another. The cheap Chinese piece of crap threads just didn't work for me when trying to get the fancy stem covers on. They wouldn't thread deep enough in order to get the handles to close without hitting them, thus always flowing water. I tried backing out and catching the thread correctly but it's just junk. Also, I got the grease and greased the o-ring and stem really well but the o-ring still bunched up. IMO it's poor design since they shouldn't leave such a big tolerance for the o-ring to flop around and pop out. I guess you couldn't expect much from a $50 set anyways.
Sometimes when you've given it your best shot, you sill have to call in the hired guns. If you can't gain experience your self, you can learn it from others so watch him work, don't annoy him with questions, but if you make observation about something he does in way that seems like its most ingenious thing you've seen, even tacitern guy will explain things. I learned neat trick for clearing a drain line under my slab that had given me trouble for years. It would clog yearly at least, sometimes I could clear it with drill auger, more often rent one. But about 3rd-4th time even rented one wouldn't punch thru, line would kink twist throw me around. had to hire it done, they would push, cuss, sweat,lug machine on roof, charge me big bucks. Last time a guy comes out, has it done in 5 minutes! I am impressed, but i tell him something I noticed, he had no tip or cutter on end of 3/8 coil. He sez that coil spring type tip grabs clog but then auger just twists and kinks, I knew that, a blade type cutter just spins with no push, kinks again. Small no tip pushes thru, auger flops around knocking clog to bits. Then he told me real secret, run auger backwards while pushing, no kink. I cut the springs off my drill augers, back at the bad permenent kink, haven't had to rent or hire it done since. But plumber also sed, get this, I'll have to charge you for 1 hour, got anything else needs doing? So we went around house running bigger auger thru cleanouts and main line. That's plumber worth re-hiring, but as I sed, haven't needed to.
I dunno what any of that has to do with price of O-rings in China. " thus always flowing water." Could be that " weird long single piping piece" is not positioned right, covers don't screw in far enuff, or not enough threads on it, not long enuff fitting comeing from it, covers just plain too long. Without cover you can shut off water, without handle but with cover? Sometimes I have had problem getting packing nut and stem screwed together right, preventing stem from seating. Without packing nut you can shut off water?
I know you were talking of entire thing being cheap chinese, (I've got cheapo single handle that works fine, except tab that engages temperature mixing valve is tiny bit of plastic, wears out quick, showeree is suddenly boiled or frozen) but I bet there's not O-ring out there that isn't from Celestial Empire. If you ever need O-rings, especially if you don't know exact size, you can go to...( don't tell anyone I said this, there's folks here that jump all over you if you so much as mention Lowes or Homedepot, they'll form a lynching party for this ) Harbor Freight, 382 rings, various sizes $5, 397 metric $5. 225 nitrile rings $7, 225 metric nitrile $2, that's weird.
I'll let you go now, you don't wanta be wastin time reading this and keeping plumber waiting.
Any of the old timer remember re-rimming bad seats that cant removed. :no::yes::huh:
I still cot the tools.

The David Beckham hype has generated wonderful returns for MLS thus far, but marketing executives would tell you it's a no-brainer that the league needs to better appeal to the country's millions of Latino fans to instill a longer-lasting, loyal fan base. It's no secret that Mexican teams draw higher TV audiences and larger crowds
As The South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Jeff Rusnak points
out, the loyalty and the numbers are there -- just not with MLS. "Without exception," he says, "Mexican fans have not supported their local MLS team the way they support their 'home side.'" For
example, David Beckham's debut against Chelsea on ESPN received a 1.0 rating, reaching about 1.4 million U.S. homes, while the last three matches between Mexican giants Club America and Chivas
Guadalajara on Spanish-language station Univision averaged a 2.4 rating. And when the Mexican national team plays, those numbers are even bigger: El Tri's Copa America semifinal loss to Argentina this
summer received a whopping 6.8.
It's no secret that Mexican teams sell out stadiums and draw higher ratings in the U.S. than American ones, so it follows, says Rusnak, that MLS should be
targeting that audience most heavily. Instead of bringing over more players like Beckham, it should be targeting more Mexican internationals like Cuauhtemoc Blanco.

By LINDA HALL
Staff Writer
WOOSTER -- A new ranking system, new academic standards and new assessments are part of the ever-changing world that is public education.
Added to the mix is the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System to be implemented in the 2013-14 school year. Schools that receive Race to the Top funds will be the pilot districts for the program.
"New ratings, new evaluations," said Triway Local Schools' Superintendent Dave Rice at the March meeting of the board, mean districts have a lot on their plate.
But the district will work on all of the details of the plan.
"We've got to iron all that stuff out," Rice said. "It's definitely more rigorous ... the tool more time-intensive. That's what we're tackling."
Patrick Gallaway, associate director of communications for the Ohio Department of Education, said it is being piloted now by 138 districts.
"The evaluation system is a combination of 50 percent student growth from assessments and then 50 percent determined at the local level through observations and additional things that are determined to suit the need of each district," Gallaway said.
The teacher evaluation directive was part of the 2011 budget bill, House Bill 153, Gallaway said, requiring state boards of education to approve a framework by the end of last year.
"The Race to the Top (schools) are in Round 1," said Richard Lewis, executive director of the Ohio School Boards Association, referring to the federal competitive grant program rewarding schools for improving academic standards and assessments.
"The plan is that two years out everybody (will be on board)," he said.
A district may use the framework designed by the ODE or align its own plan to the state's, he said.
In Lewis' opinion, "so far districts are embracing (the evaluation system)," although one slight glitch might be the added work load for the administrative team, which will have to put a lot of time into it.
"(Districts probably) don't know how intensive it is going to be until they get out there and do it," Lewis said. "The concern as they get into the process is that administrators have the time and capacity to do the job and do it well."
Who will administrate it is "one of the ways districts have a little bit of flexibility," allowing them to "bring in folks to help" with the effort, Gallaway said.
The possibility of outsourcing the evaluations is "in its infancy stages right now," Lewis said, however, "we would be supportive of that."
The new evaluations "wouldn't take over something (already) in place," Gallaway said, referring to districts' negotiated agreements with their education associations. "It won't be implemented until (a) contract ends."
Gallaway highlighted some provisions of the mid-biennium review related to contract issues, quoting one that states, "Teacher evaluation requirements prevail over any conflicting bargaining agreement entered into on or after Sept. 29, 2011."
The seniority and layoff questions are covered in the Ohio Revised Code, quoted by Gallaway as saying, "The board shall include in its evaluation policy procedures for using the evaluation results for retention and promotion decisions and for removal of poorly performing teachers."
"Seniority shall not be the basis for a decision to retain a teacher, except when making a decision between teachers who have comparable evaluations."
The Ohio Education Association signed off and supports the new system, according to Gallaway, noting "(labor groups) wanted a system not based on student assessments alone."
"The big thing is the non-tested area," said Melissa Schneider, president of the Triway Education Association. "Where do you get that evaluation piece?"
"Those are some of the issues that need focus and clarity," Lewis said, because "not every teacher can be evaluated on test results," such as those instructing physical education or fine arts classes.
"The devil is in the details," Lewis said.
"In general, I think boards support (the teacher evaluation system)," he said, "and progress is being made."

Greater Toronto Area DIY meetup
I proposed to meet every other Saturday afternoon to meet, greet and swap parts and advice.
Let's start with
May 26, 2012
Tim Horton's @ Sheppard ave, east of 404 exit
let's say 2pm or so?
Any interest on this?
by that time I should have the odac in my hands and I will bring alone a laptop and various amps you guys can try out
Ok, I can make this event. I'm not sure what I'll bring.
I've got a dcb1 buffer for sale... If anyone is interested in purchasing it, I'll bring it.
Count me in!
Is the Google Doc shreadsheet still in use?
Okay here's the Google Docs link
I will probably show up after 2:30pm due to prior engagement. This time around, I do not have anything to bring to this meet. However, I am looking for two 330 pf (50 V or higher) caps for the amp that I am building (bought 2 kits and these caps were missing). Not worth to order them since these are so cheap - the shipping charge incurred will cost way more. Will pay cash for them.
get me a part # or picture, I am sure in my thousands of caps I have a few for you
Okay found this thread!
Sorry about that.
So 26th May sounds good.
I could bring some input transformers from the 60s,
also if you want to name some tubes I can check my stock
I can bring some caps too.
maybe a guitar pedal, guitar parts (strat),
how about books?
guitar speakers?
rubber speaker surrounds for repair...
I'll scrounge around some more.
let me know what you'd like to look at
please remind me closer to date also, so I keep it in my head
I tried to get a part number from the Digikey's site but cannot find any (non SMD kind). I am just looking for those "run of the mill" ceramic disc little caps. Those sivler mica/other exotic types are too expensive for my purpose. Thanks!
Reminder that the meet is this weekend!
I will be going to get the ODAC this week.. so you guys can have a listen at the meet!

We are now back to our regularly scheduled summer… What's more fun than blowing bubbles?! Colin was trying really hard to get those bubbles out! But Matt got it!!
Ok, so it is officially summer here in New York, but its really hot today so it seemed appropriate to post some SNOW pictures! I took these pictures a couple of years ago when we finally had some snow. It seemed like we went a few winters without a good snowfall here on Long Island. […]

Now in his 40s, horn player Glen Marhevka doesn't really mind that fans of swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy still call him "The Kid."
Marhekva, who performs with the band May 15 at the Clay Center, said, "I relish that now. I hope when I'm 60 people still call me that."
Of course, when he got the name, he was more or less a kid.
"I got it when I first joined the band," Marhekva said. "I was in my early 20s and really the youngest guy in the band. I looked pretty young back then, but I remember we were on a road trip up the West Coast in our van. We went out to dinner before a show, and everyone else ordered sophisticated food."
"The Kid" ordered a hot dog and French fries.
Singer Scotty Morris looked over, sort of laughed and said, "You really are a kid."
That night, Morris called him "The Kid" on stage. It caught on with fans, and that's what they've called him ever since.
"Also the name Marhekva is just sort of awkward for people to pronounce," he added. "The nickname just helps."
And as far as nicknames go, it's pretty cool, Marhekva thought. It's cool to be The Kid.
Cool is something Marhekva never really imagined he'd be — at least not in the beginning.
He grew up listening to music that wasn't considered especially cool at the time. His parents played Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. They took him to concerts that were anything but rock 'n' roll.
"I got to see Cab Calloway in concert live," he bragged.
In junior high, Marhekva joined the band and picked up a trumpet. He played in high school and then in college at California State University, Northridge.
"I was in school band all my life," he said. "And it wasn't the coolest thing to be in school band."
But playing trumpet led him to the guys that became Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
"The band kind of came together piece by piece," he said. "One guy would bring in another guy. We all loved the same kind of music, and everybody had a story like mine."
Playing together was bliss.
"We didn't care if the music was popular," he said.
Then, the funniest thing happened. In the early 1990s, while grunge rock was the reigning flavor of music, people rediscovered swing and swing dancing. They re-appropriated some of the style of the '30s, '40s and '50s.
Marhekva said, "All of a sudden, we're playing these cool clubs, and people are coming to check it out."
They'd listen and dance and tell them, "Wow, this is so cool!"
And he'd just laugh and say, "I've been playing this music since I was 12. Where have you been?"
Then there was the movie, "Swingers," written and starring Jon Favreau, who's perhaps best known for directing the first two "Iron Man" films.
"That was a really big thing for us," Marhekva said. "He was one of our friends. He used to come out to our gigs all the time."
In particular, Favreau came out to the Derby, a Hollywood club, where he'd hang out with the band and dance.
"He's an incredible dancer," Marhekva said. "There were a lot of good dancers who came out to the Derby, and he was right in there with the best of them."
Music trends change, but Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has never stopped doing what they do. The band is still together after 21 years under and with the same people. They're all still glad to be making the kind of music they've always made together.
Marhekva has watched the trends and noticed another style of pop music – Americana – is having its day in the sun. The genre has room for banjos, fiddles and mandolins.
"I see people playing more organic instruments," he said. "And I think that's a good thing. It's not that far from what we did – infusing rock and folk.
"I just like it."

Heilsgeschichte, Enantiodromia, and End of history
Nothing in this world enjoys unmixed bliss. For Continental fare there is Analytic Philosophy and for Correlationism, there is Speculative Realism and OOO. For Capitalism, Socialism is the constant companion and for neo-Darwinism and Evolution there is Intelligent design (ID). As the last landmark date of the Century 12-12-12 is knocking at the door, it really seems like it's end of history.
Everything has been written, sung, or captured on celluloid. From Armada to World Wars and 9/11, everything has happened. What remains is perhaps only parody and repetition. Nothing has been settled either in theory or in science. The heart cries out, "Why is it all, the labour and the din, … Where leads the march, whither the pilgrimage?" Nevertheless, (55m Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty) I learnt about two new words today: Heilsgeschichte & Enantiodromia. http://selforum.blogspot.in/2012/12/sri-aurobindo-is-more-intellectually.html … [TNM55]

Four things I wish I didn't have to do
What are the household tasks that get you down? Jillian Lewis shares the four things she wishes she didn't have to do.
Do as I say, not as I do!
I'm not perfect. (Don't tell my husband I said that.) I know I've got double standards when it comes to housework. I demand that everyone put their shoes away rather than leave them on the bedroom floor, and yet my thongs have been known to linger outside the cupboard for days. I know I ask my family to adhere to rules that I have no trouble breaking. Yet, in my defence, it's only because I spend so much of my time doing other chores around the house that I think I should be given a reprieve from the rules. I mean, eventually I know I'm going to clean it up because I'm the only one in the house that cleans up. (Again, don't tell my husband I said that, he'll disagree.) Here are four things that I clean up daily and that no one else in the house even knows exist.
1. Electric toothbrush goop
Electric toothbrushes seem to create a build up of froth in your mouth, that even if you spit, has to go somewhere. Despite the fact the toothbrush is rinsed at the end of a cleaning, it still holds toothpaste goop. It drips down the side of the brush creating a goop stream that collects around the toothbrush charger. This stream hardens over time and the charger becomes a landing pad for a small, but significantly gross, build up of toothpaste sludge. I clean it up and I'm pretty sure no one else around here has ever given it one iota of thought.
2. Weetbix concrete
My kids love Weetbix with warm milk and I put a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a drizzle of honey on top. My son is a notoriously slow eater – I could eat three weeks worth of meals and he'd still be playing imaginary aliens and space landing with his spoon on planet cereal. Needless to say, by the time he's finished I've moved on. God forbid the empty bowl should sit on the table for longer than 30 seconds before I rinse it. The smears of Weetbix left in the bowl turn to hard concrete, as do the drips that have fallen from the spaceship onto the table and undoubtedly the floor. Scrub, scrub …
3. The dumping ground that is my fruit bowl
I don't know what it is about my fruit bowl, but it seems to be the dumping ground for all types of things that have no home and that are definitely not fruit. A Lego character's head, a bobby pin, a crayon, a Texta lid, a cough lolly, a chap stick, a random screw from who knows what. If I didn't empty it daily the whole bowl would be full of stuff that wasn't fruit and the fruit would be scattered around the house in the spots where I assume this stuff should be.
4. Flying cushions
My son seems to possess an other-worldly power that allows him to propel cushions from their place on the couch or chair and onto the floor just by walking past. I feel like I spend my life bending over, picking them up, putting them back, tucking them in, bending over, picking them up, putting them back, tucking them in … you get the point.

Understanding Dark Energy, Finding Earth-like Planets Top Priorities Says NRC's Astro2010 Study
The National Research Council (NRC) released its most recent Decadal Survey for astronomy and astrophysics today. Formally entitled New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics, but dubbed "Astro2010," the report lays out the scientific and mission priorities for ground- and space-based astronomy for the next 10 years. It is the sixth NRC Decadal Survey in this field; the first was issued in 1964. Decadal Surveys are so-named because they are conducted about every 10 years - a decade - and look forward to the next decade of research. (For more on the NRC and Decadal Surveys, visit the National Research Council page on our left menu at SpacePolicyOnline.com.)
The Astro2010 study committee divided its recommendations into three categories of missions: large, mid-sized, and small. For space-based missions, the committee identified a Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) as the top priority for large missions. A collaboration between NASA and the Department of Energy (DOE), it would answer questions about dark energy, determine the likelihood of other Earth-like planets, and conduct other research about the galaxy. The top priority for the ground-based astronomy program is the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which also would study dark energy, as well as dark matter, time-variable phenomena, supernovas, Kuiper-belt and near-Earth objects. That project would be a collaboration between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and DOE.

Alex Lange of Lee's Summit West was selected recently as the Gatorade Missouri Baseball player of the year.
Lange, a senior pitcher and first baseman for the Titans, is the first player from West to receive the honor, which recognizes his accomplishments both on and off the field. Lange is now eligible for Gatorade's national baseball player of the year award.
The 6-foot-3 195-pound Lange helped the Titans to a 27-4 record and the Class 5 District 13 championship this season. A 2013 Under Armour All-American, Lange posted a 6-0 record through 30 games with a 1.12 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 40 innings. He also compiled a .420 batting average with a home run, 17 RBIs and a .531 on-base percentage. He has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball at LSU this fall.
Lange, who maintained a 3.98 grade-point average, is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Lee's Summit Youth Advisory Board. He has volunteered locally on behalf of the Jessie Rees Foundation to fight childhood cancer and as a youth baseball coach and umpire.
"Alex Lange is the ultimate competitor," said Titans baseball coach Jay Meyer. "He is a big-game pitcher, a leader and a major cog in our success this year. He is a winner on and off the field."
The Gatorade Player of the Year program, now in its 29th year, annually recognizes one winner in every state in several different boys and girls sports and awards one national player of the year honor in each one. The selection process is administered by Gatorade sports leadership team in partnership with USA Today High School Sports.

How much slower is HTTPS than HTTP? What's the best way of testing the differences?
Got a site where a user is moved back and forth and need to know whether or not I should set all links to absolute.
This would make development a touch more complex, and testing on a staging site next to impossible, but perhaps the speed gains would be worth it?
Also, does the browser recycle cached files stored from an HTTP onto an HTTPS connected page?
Thank you!
about the loading of cached formerly http delivered sites into the browser
when those sites now are delivered via https (if i got that right?):
this might be a concern of the cache's config, however, you can
influence the caching in many ways: [psychotekk.de...]
hope i could help you a bit :)

The T-Birds finished ninth in a field of 19 teams, recording a split of about 30 seconds between the first and last scoring runners. "We are very pleased to see a top-ten finish, especially with the split time these women recorded," head coach Eric Houle said. "We've basically started over as a team this year, with only a couple seniors returning, and this finish is really a credit to these women and what they are doing." Shelli Mogensen led the women at the Bronco Invitational, finishing 47th in the 6k with a time of 21:30.3. Dayna VanArsdol came next for Southern Utah, racing to a 57th-place time of 21:40.4. Ashley Hawks and Kaylee Boyer followed in 74th and 78th place, recording respective times of 21:52.8 and 21:54.1, while Rachel Stone tallied the rest of the squad's points with a 92nd-place finish and time of 21:59.9. The T-Birds' combined efforts resulted in a score of 247, placing the squad ahead of in-state rival Utah Valley (10th, 261) and fellow Big Sky competitor Idaho State (13th, 328). "The nice thing is that we're still on pace to get faster and faster as the season progresses," Houle continued. "I would not be surprised to see us break into the top five at conference." The Thunderbirds will take a two-week break from competition as the men and women prepare for the Southern Utah's second cross country championship in the Big Sky Conference. Montana State will host the championship, set to take place in Bozeman on Nov. 2.

Scratch tests can be reasonably accurate, but not for every individual. My friend's test was a bust. It happens.
If you weren't tested for the widest array of foods, you might have missed some really bigs ones. If you don't eliminate those, eliminating other, milder allergies might not be so noticeable and make the test results seem more inaccurate than they are. Just saying that it's possible....
Whatever you choose (and I'm sorry I can't help you on the other kinds of tests) test as many foods as you can afford. It's pretty expensive, though. I think my extensive food tests would have cost $600 or more, I don't remember, without insurance.
It's not the accuracy of the test for a 3yo, but the changing landscape of allergies at that age. (Most allergists will test a 3yo child if they are having symptoms.) Most kids will outgrow their milk allergy before the age of 5, fewer will outgrow it later in life (me) and the rare child will retain a bonafide milk allergy throughout adulthood. My daughter picked up several new allergies, include one severe wheat allergy (numb tongue, the works) at about 3yo. So that's what you are facing with testing a 3yo. Doesn't mean you shouldn't test.
Does your child qualify for Medicaid coverage? In our state there are 3 tiers of Medicaid, and they cover all sorts of things like dental, orthodontal (sp?) psychiatric, etc. (And allergy tests with a referral.) Even if you don't qualify for yourself, your child might. Call your DSHS office if you think this is at all possible.
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
I blog about our life with food allergies and eosinophilic disorders.
We have tried all kinds of elimination diets but I don't think that route is very effective for us, we need a test... We've never been able to get to baseline with eliminating.
I don't think we qualify for Medicaid but I will have my DH call just in case... I think with his unemployment checks, we are just above the cutoff point. I wish I could get some kind of inexpensive supplemental insurance.
Can you pick & choose which foods to test for? Does it make the most sense to test for every food possible? Or just the foods you eat most regularly? So we are currently on a vegan, gluten-free diet, should we still test for dairy, meats, etc? Obviously those aren't things that are causing us issues now since we don't eat them but if the results show lots of allergies then we may need to substitute in new foods and I've always suspected I'm allergic to certain animal products so I wouldn't want to sub in allergenic foods, you know? Maybe I'm getting too far ahead of myself but my sisters recently had testing done and found they were allergic to tons & tons of things & they weren't even having symptoms half as bad as mine...
OH! I'm guessing SPT is skin-prick test, is that right? So blood tests are actually less accurate???
The "casting a wide net" approach is loosing it's ground in the allergy world. May Drs are now going to "if you haven't seen a reaction we won't test for it". A positive result is only 50% accurate (a negative is 90+% accurate).
I see why one would be tempted to test a ton of stuff. I did 2 dairy trials with my first baby with no results because we didn't remove all his other allergens. BUT....I also know we took out way more than we should have. We got + result for things the a) are not common allergen and b) things we KNOW he wasn't reacting to but we trusted the first Dr. we went to (I have become much better educated on the subject now and would question his advice).
I agree 1000% with a food log and/or ED. Also, these tests aren't going to tell you if you/DH/DC are sensitive as CS has mentioned. Only "true" IgE mediated allergies (which are the ones responsible for anaphylactic reactions). A food log is more likely to catch intolerances and the like.
Are you/DH/DC experiencing things like hives? Difficulty breathing? Facial swelling? GI issues? Any combo of these are something I would speak to an allergist about. If not, I would really look into a very detailed food log to pinpoint your issues.
While not life threatening, there is a bevvy of other allergy symptoms that the general public are usually unaware of-- fatigue, frequent urination, confusion, adrenaline-rush type reactions, depression-like symptoms, reflexive coughing (like asthma, but from ingestion of food). I'm sure I'm missing a few. In kids, some of these symptoms wind up causing deep mood swings, sometimes violent outbursts in little ones. These symptoms are a big deal and can seriously affect your quality of life, even though you don't wind up in an emergency room.

text: With two of its five movements designated "Nachtmusik" (whence the title "Song of the Night" sometimes attached to it); with its unusual character extending to the use of a guitar and a mandolin; with its continuous changes of lighting and its harmonic boldness, Mahler's Seventh Symphony is endlessly fascinating. On disc as well as in concert, Kent Nagano has returned on any number of occasions to the music of Mahler. Here he conducts this orchestral masterpiece, the most modern of the composer's symphonies, a slow progression from shadow to light.

Stats really don't matter once you get on the trail. Numbers won't do much for you when you don't know what to do with them. Water is difficult to judge a depth on, so try to avoid it. If you can't avoid it, test it with a stick to find the depth and check the bottom. If the bottom is solid, you are safer to go deeper. Also, look at the surrounding terrain. Is there a waterline on trees around it? How steep are the banks? You can bet they keep the same angle underwater.
How tall is the rock? Put a tire over it instead of straddling it. When you come off the rock steer away from it so as not to hit the side of the truck on it. You really shouldn't be doing stuff that difficult without protection though. My armor has already paid for itself multiple times over on the trails. Sometimes there is no way around coming down on skid plates and sliders. The crash sounds better than the crunch.

Thanks guys I will take all ur guys advice and go little by little and find my self s good spotter n avoid water at all cost unless I have to go through it thanks for the tips guys.
Probably going to buy skid plates first I like my car in one piece not multiple rather spend a couple hundred versus couple thousand on a fix that could of been avoided

School Board of Levy County employees will have to pay a bit more for health insurance starting next year.
During this past Tuesday's meeting, the board approved an 11.85 percent increase in rates for the district health plan, remaining under Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida.
As an example, a 12-month family health care plan that currently costs $903.76 will soon cost $1,011.09, starting next year.
The insurance company cited increases in health care costs and the recent national health care laws for the increases.

14 Week Puppy Barking at People
1 Attachment(s)
I have a puppy that's 14 weeks old, and she has started barking at everyone that walks by the house, especially if they have a dog with them.
The main problem is at my dad's cabin. Its in a small community where people walk around and ride gold carts. The cabin is fairly close to the road and people drive fairly slow so cars aren't really an issue. The barking is fine to let me know that people are out there, but I would like to know how to get her to stop barking when I tell her to. The constant barking also rallies up her (big) sister to go and investigate who used to be very good about ignoring people walking by. Her sister is very friendly, but some people are just scared of dogs. I think if the barking stopped, her sister wouldn't feel like she needed to go and check everything out.

Sounds like your dog is showing his brave/fear stage . My dog has been doing this and it's kind of embarrassing. Some times they act brave and other time fearful, kinda like mood swings. I wish I could tell ya how to make him stop, I'm in the same boat trying to train my dog not to do this.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
When your puppy begins acting brave, with her paws firmly planted on your feet (so you can back her up,) just step away from her, turn her away from whatever she's barking at, and distract her. When she looks at you, praise her for her attention .try not to get mad. This isn't logical behavior on her part, and she's not doing it on purpose. Instead, it's emotional puppy behavior.
It's also not unusual for puppies to have a small fear period when they are teething. After all, your puppy may not feel too well right now ;her gums are swollen and her jaw hurts. I think "cross fingers" that it last tell they are done teething and trained Remember ,they don't out grow behavior , it's trained. But by doing this while training will help a lot, then just over looking it, and think she will it grow it.=)

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi there ,
Welcome to Just answer !
Well , below i am mentionig the plan according to which you need to come off abilify , but i will suggest that you do inform to your prescribing doctor bout this withdrawl .
Also, the withdrawl of abilify needs to be done slowly over a period of 12 days , as abrupt stoppage of abilify can lead to distressing withdrawl / discontinuation symptoms .
However , your symptoms will start improving after 1-2 days of starting the withdrawl.
The plan for withdrawl is ---
First reduce the dose of abilify to 10 mg/ day from the current dose of 15 mg/ day , and continue on the dose of 10 mg / day for 5 days .
After 5 days of being sustained on the dose of 10 mg / day , further reduce the dose to 5 mg / day and maintain on this dose for another 5 days , and after the 5 days , you may further reduce the dose to 2.5 mg / day ( 1/4 of 10 mg tab ) , and continue on 2.5 mg for 2 days ,and after 2 days , you may stop Abilify completely.
So, this is the process of safe withdrawl of abilify , and i suggest you discuss this with your doctor ,as he should be well informed about the withdrawl.
I hope this helps..Take care ..

This normal? ...
I thought the meter was setup for an approx 15k interval and then adjusted based on telemetry of use.
When I hit 104 -105k I'm doing a oil change if the meter says to or not.

This reply is in no way an attempt to get you to change your mind about the effectiveness or worth of the Service Interval Display...or BMW's forumula for its calculation.
But, from what you wrote above...your conception has a faulty foundation based on an inaccurate premise that mileage is a key factor...which throws off your entire perception of the Service Interval Display.
Let me state for the record...the frequency of oil changes & what type of oil to use is totally a personal decision for how one wants to maintain their vehicle...so again, my comments are by no means a way to bring you into BMW's "fold"...to follow their recommendation to the "T".
I'm just posting FYI data as to how the SIA III system was designed to work so that incorrect information isn't promoted further.
First, it is not an "oil monitoring" system...second, it is not set-up for a precise time/mileage base. SIA III (which your car has) uses fuel consumption to determine the progression of the SI lights. You can read the info below as to why BMW went away from the SI calculation of time/distance/engine load...to a single & simple fuel consumption calculation.
Your percentage of mostly highway driving is indicative of SIA III calculation. Your gas consumption is going to be less...which also means that stress on your engine and engine load etc. is less..thus the green LEDs are not counting off as fast as you thought they would under the assumption that the oil is being monitored and/or that there's a 15K mileage calculation involved (again, neither of those variables are accurate).
