Hubby and I are having arguments already regarding the bathroom reno. We have not even started anything other than measuring the room. (2900 x 1600) But can get no further as we cannot decide what we want in it. I think as it is the only bathroom our house has that it needs to have a bath aswell as shower and vanity (toilet is in separate room) but as it is such a small area I dont know how these will fit. Hubby says we should just have an awesomely large shower and a vanity that way it is not crowded and there is room for storage of towels etc.
So lovely EBers please help me. Which way should we go? squeeze it all in or go for just the shower vanity option?

Our bathroom is almost the exact same size & we have a 900 x 900 shower + separate bathtub along the long wall opposite the entrance & then on the far short wall have our vanity basin.
Works for us.
Actually looking at that length, you could get away with the following:
Along the long wall have a shower (900 x 900), then the vanity (1200) & then a bathtub (800 x 1500) along the far short wall.
I love having a bathtub in the place - you never know when you might need it.

Princess peach - is your entrance along the long wall or the short?
Ours is on the short wall and I was thinking of what you are saying but am worried the doors (shower and entrance) will be too close and collide with each other?
Posted 25 January 2013 - 01:03 PM
Ours is on the long wall.
As for collisions..we currently have an old school style slide door for our shower, but when it gets changed over later this year we are thinking of making the bathroom door a cavity slide.

Do you mean you want a *separate* bath and shower? What about a combined shower-bath? These are very common in Canada - not sure about over here. They save a lot of space though

What about a shower/bath combo where the shower is next to the bath but in the same enclosure? Kind of like the one in the below link. I have seen a few of them in newly renovated homes.
Otherwise, I would probably get a shower over the bath tub.
Edited to ad a better link.

If its your only bathroom it definitely needs a bath.
We are redoing ours, it's 2700 x 2300 & includes a freestanding bath, open shower ( one glass panel), 900mm vanity & a toilet so given you don't need to fit the toilet I think you will have plenty of space.

Thanks Everyone. You have given me plenty to think about. Glad to hear you agree that the bath is needed. Will keep rejigging the plans to make it fit. Am looking into a cavity door for the main door to save that swinging space.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:59 AM
Do a shower bath combo. You can get very modern versions. You can even choose your own bath and get a shower screen custom made. Or, worst case scenario make sure your large shower space also has a tap at "bath height" that you can use to fill up a baby bath or whatever.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:08 AM
I agree you need a bath, even if it is combined with the shower.
FWIW when you come to sell your house down the track a lot of potential buyers with kids/planning to have kids might be put off if there is no bath. That was definitely something we thought about when buying our bathroom.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 02:07 PM
Haven't read all the replies, but my opinion is you need a bath. If you are worried about space then have a shower over bath but install a screen, I hate shower curtains.

Agreed. Avoid shower curtains at all costs, they gross me out.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 02:32 PM
I totally hate shower over bath.
If you can have seperate even if it is squishy I think you should do that.
But as a last resort shower over bath is ok.... only if there is no other option.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 02:42 PM
We have the shower next to the bath with no screen between them, like the photo linked to and it works well for us in the small space. The floor gets a little wet cause there is no shower door but the mat sorts it out
Posted 29 January 2013 - 02:50 PM
This looks like a good option for a small bathroom. Use the space next to the bathtub to be the shower. Similar to the previous suggestion, with a different orientation. The best solution depends on where your door is (or where you move it to).

LOVE the first suggestion!!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:10 PM
We did a Reno on our small bathroom a few years ago. We opted for a separate shower and bath, due to space we used a smaller bath (great for the kids, not so great for me). I really wanted a bigger vanity (1200mm) so that also restricted the placement of everything. You can see some photos here:
If I had my time again I would have the bath along the back wall (where the towel rail is) and have a smaller vanity placed between the shower and bath (so where the gap and bath is)..
ETA: to fix the link

Unfortunately, the motion of a pushed object is usually unpredictable due to an uncertain distribution of support forces. With multiple contact points between the pusher and the slider, however, it is possible to find pushing directions that cause the object to remain fixed to the manipulator. These are called stable pushing directions. These stable pushing directions can be used to find pushing plans to maneuver objects among obstacles. The stable pushing directions amount to a set of nonholonomic inequality constraints.
Our focus has been on stable pushing with line contact. Given the geometry of a polygonal part, its center of mass (strictly, its center of friction), a set of pushing edges, and the friction coefficient at the pushing edges, we first calculate the set of stable pushing directions. These stable pushing plans are then used to automatically find a pushing sequence to move the object to a goal position. An example plan is shown below.

I was born in Santa Monica, CA on May 8th 1983. I traveled all over the U.S. as a kid and no, I wasn't an army brat! My parents were professional skydivers. Sounds awesome but in a world where everyone else's parents were coaching little league and going to PTA meetings, I was kind of the weird kid at school! Which by the way I loved, cuz I thought they were boring! LOL Needless to say I didn't exactly grow up in a conservative environment. We lived in PA for about 7 or 8 yrs and then I moved back to CA and spent my high school years at a few different schools... I'm a gypsy baby! One day I'll write a book and give you all the juicy details!
I had a whole bunch of boring jobs from retail to selling raffle tickets to working at the local video store to selling gym memberships at the most out-dated gym in the valley. I had some pretty cool jobs to though! (Stay tuned! Can't give u it all yet!) Then when I turned 18 I said "Fuck This Shit! I want to do everything I ever dreamed of and I'm not letting anyone stop me!" But mainstream modeling is way harder than I thought and so is being a pop superstar with stage-fright! So, I thought hard about it and figured out how to use my hippie upbringing to my fullest advantage and still be a model! I decided to do porn! Kind of the easy way out but, hey I just so happened to love it!
For 4 years I only did g/g scenes and was featured in Hustler, Showgirls, URB and Biker Magazines. You may have also seen me on several shows on PlayboyTV, Cinemax and even the BBC. In the past 2 years I started doing B/G video and I'm loving every minute of it! You know I had to make you wait for it! I've been working for video companies like TeraVision, Wicked, Penthouse, Vivid, Hustler and many other top notch companies to give you, the best of me, just the way you want me!

"They said, 'She is a sinner. She's going to hell and she's going to burn forever,'" said 84-year-old Brigit Smith-Clarke. She said she heard two fellow residents say that about her because she founded Atheists Anonymous.
It is a group for the elderly residents at La Costa Glen who do not believe in God or just want to explore their options. It began with 16 members two years ago. Since then, their membership has grown to almost 100 seniors.
What has also grown is the backlash: the dirty stares, social isolation and the threatening phone calls. Smith-Clarke said people were calling her things such as "anti-Christ" and "Jew-lover."

Wayne Lynch 2008
Wayne Lynch was often viewed as a "soul surfer" but could just as easily be known for his performances in the competition singlet. A dynamic Australian goofyfoot, Lynch was a major frontrunner in the shortboard revolution. While most guys during the late '60s and early '70s were walking to the nose on 10-foot surfboards, Lynch was riding seven-foot boards and turning up and down the face.
Born in 1952 in Victoria, Australia, Lynch began surfing at age 10. After turning heads at the local beaches for much of his youth, by 1965 Lynch had won the first of six consecutive Victoria state titles. But his real coming out party occurred in 1969. Lynch's natural ability hit the big screen during his futuristic hotdogging scenes in the film Evolution. And even though the film costarred
Nat Young and Ted Spencer, it is most notably remembered for Lynch's surfing.

Absolutely loved the service, variety of frames, and quality of lenses. For many years, I stuck with a similar wire frame style and color. But the sales folks went out of their way to get me out of my comfort zone, try new styles and colors, and still make the experience super fun. I loved the first pair so much that I went back for a 2nd pair. In particular, I can't thank Poshie enough for her encouragement.
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING customer service.
Very user friendly, and convenient. Hilary is great!
Great--I just lost my favorite frames that I purchased in Paris. I was not hopeful that I could replace them. I checked out your site and found my frames!! I am a happy customer. I will return!
The staff at Vizio is exceptional - they're all so kind and eager to help as much or as little as any client might want. The glasses selection is beautiful and the doctors take great care in taking care of their clients. The office and retail space is super clean and organized. Highly recommend.
The team at Vizio is awesome. All my questions and concerns were answered promptly and included every detail.
Vizio Optic is dedicated to ensuring a positive experience from start to finish. They use all the information available to deliver top notch service and quality glasses. Thank you!
Excellent service in every respect. They really go above and beyond and take the time to follow through. I can't recommend them enough. Truly the best customer service I've experienced in a long time, online or otherwise.
I love shopping at Vizio! You will be pampered from the moment you walk in the store. They have the best selection of cool glasses from all over the world in Boston and New England! The employees are super knowledgeable and offer great advice. Vizio is a must stop for all of your optical needs!
If you are in need of a GREAT optical store in the Boston area - then search no further. I just purchased a pair of ic! Berlin, which I might add, cannot be found easily around the city. When I moved to Boston from Boca Raton, FL. I needed to find a good optician for obvious reasons and saw that Vizio Optic was listed at the top of "Best of Boston" Magazine. I experienced why they have won the award several times in its category the past few years - now you should.
I was struggling to find a source for the frames I wanted. Thank goodness I found Vizio Optic. They made sure I got the Robert Marc's I wanted. I wish these folks sold cars. This is the way customer service should be!!
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING customer service. I wanted to have some Face a Face frames in time for my wedding in Australia and these guys went above and beyond to have them delivered early. I can't recommend this company highly enough I will be buying my designer frames here in future!
I found the Vizio Optic website when searching for a specific brand of (sun) glasses that I had difficulty finding (I live in the Bay Area). My customer rep at Vizio was Milane and she definitely took care of me. Even though the delivery of my sunglass was a bit delayed (they were, after all, coming from Paris), Milane kept me 'in-the-loop' the whole time, so I wasn't left wondering what was going on. Would definitely recommend (and use) Vizio Optic again. After all, it's all about the customer service experience.
I had an excellent experience at Vizio Optic. My eyeglass prescription was changed considerably and Erin, in particular, was helpful in advising me on the kind of frame which would be best for my vision, making the adjustment to progressives, and when there was an problem with the lens, acted quickly to make sure a correction was made without any charge to me. These are services which one cannot get on the internet and had I even tired, I think past experience suggests I would have been miserable. The shop also has an unhurried atmosphere and added to my overall satisfaction. I will without hesitation return and recommend it to others. I feel I got what I paid for and it was nice to shop locally too.
Dear Hilary I just want to inform you that my ALAIN MIKLI AL1120 M0FP frames arrived today. What can I say? The frames is just simply astonishing. Sheer beauty. And my wife likes it a lot. It fits her perfectly. When she puts the frames on she looks gorgeous. Well, Hilary, you really helped me fall in love with my wife again !!! All I can say is: THANK YOU for your service and your reliability ! I must not forget to mention nice giftwrapping, extra cleaning cloth, antistatic liquid and a nice card with a few personal and touching words ! It took long for the frames to come to Zagreb, Croatia, but it was worth every minute of it. Vizio Optics may not be the cheapest shop on Internet but your wide selection, your dedication to customer satisfaction, your help and support and your care about the status of customer's order are invaluable ! Dear Hilary Say Hello to everybody there @ Vizio Optics. My kindest regards and my sincerely best wishes go to you, dear Hilray ! Zoran Avramovic P.S. Not that I ever stopped loving my wife but that Alain Mikli frames made her look like coming off from the cover of Vogue !
Hi Erin, I just wanted to thank you for making the purchase of my new glasses so painless and wonderful. I couldn't be happier with the new progressive lens this time around. The extended version of the lens is magnificent. I've been able to wear the glasses for many hours and have not had any issues. Things are so much crisper. And yes, the Etnia frames are just lovely. Thinking about another pair in a different color!!Thank you for your time and care.
I just recently visited Vizio Optic for new everyday frames - and will be picking up my new glasses in about a week or so. I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience start to finish. I live in Rhode Island and visited MANY eyewear shops without finding what I was looking for...namely great looking tortoise shell glasses w/a great shape and WITHOUT any ornamentation on the sidepieces. I also have a new prescription and have to get progressive lens for the first time, so I also wanted to make sure I was dealing with a reputable shop. Needless to say, with so many failed attempts at finding glasses, I had big hopes for Vizio Optic & and they did not disappoint!!
When I entered the store, I was greeted by a wonderful saleswoman who asked my whether I would like some assistance or whether I preferred to explore on my own. It's a customer's dream to be presented with such a respectful opening. After I asked for some assistance, she suggested that we take the following course of action: Based on my stated likes & dislikes, she would pick out some selected styles; afterwards I could go and explore on my own, and then we would regroup to see where we were. Immediately it was clear that she understood my preferences. The 1st option was a great shape but has a little too much pattern; the 2nd option had the perfect tortoise shell, but not the best shape;; and on the 3rd she hit a homerun - it was exactly what I was looking for! Despite my squealing with delight, there was no sense of hurry involved, and they continued to show me other options...just to make sure the 3rd was indeed the right selection. Another young woman helped us out with the sizing and prescription details - and she was equally thoughtful, friendly, helpful, and good humored as the 1st saleswoman. They let me know it would take about 2 weeks for the glasses to be ready and I left positively elated that I had found my dream specs!
My glasses were ready just ONE week later (so nice for a business to over deliver!), and when I came in to pick them up I was treated to a complimentary gift bag with a cleaning cloth, cleaning solution and chocolate. And the glasses are perfect! I would recommend Vizio Optic to anyone and everyone!
I highly recommend this store to anyone! The best customer service one could imagine. I am very pleased with my purchase and will definitely buy from this place again. Thanks to all! I wish you prosperity and further success you highly deserve for your hard work and for dedication to your customers.

Most bored teenage boys on a summer holiday with their parents desperately want a guitar.
Well that was what it was like for bass player Nick Simper when he travelled to the Channel Islands with his mum and dad aged 15.
Simper, like all of his friends, wanted to be Hank Marvin, but was refused a guitar time and again.
A guitar costs money and the likelihood of it going unused after a few months was too high, his parents chided.
After watching an older boy finger pluck his way through the ballad Jesse James in a talent quest, Simper made a heartfelt appeal to his dad, who finally gave in.
Fast forward 53 years and Simper has played with some of rocks greatest. He switched to bass early in his career, when he realised there were many better guitar players than him and too few bass players in the industry.
One of the original members of Deep Purple, Simper has been playing and touring as a professional musician since he was 18.
A week ago he played an Austrian rock festival and got to see his favourite band ZZ Top, who he said have not aged a bit.
Gigging with the Good Old Boys since 1984 in between touring with his "proper" band, Simper says he has had "some good times".
He says: "The whole idea of the Good Old Boys is to have a good time, it's not like we're going to make any money out of it."
The Good Old Boys are Peter Parks, Alan Barratt, Simon Bishop, Nick Simper and Richard Hudston, who between them have a huge back catalogue.
Simper says: "You start off playing for fun and you end up playing for fun. When you get to our ages that's what it's all about."
The Good Old Boys; Eel Pie Club at The Patch, London Road, Twickenham, Thursday, August 1. Doors open 8.30pm, with music from 9.15pm-11pm. Tickets £10 (£8 members) and available on the door or via eelpieclub.com.

text: Ok well my car is being loaded on the Undine today and I should have it in a month or so. But being the impatient man I am I want to get started on the Tuning asap and one of the first things I want to do is swap out the OEM driveshaft if possible. I have done this before with another can and I loved this mod as the engine felt much more free revving and it's cheap. So I contacted my custom fabricator but he needs to know what type of joints the F10 driveshaft uses and the approximate length of the shaft to order the joints and get the Aluminum Rolling!! So what I need is if someone has a picture of the underside of an F10 and perhaps you can catch a glimpse of said shaft attach it to the thread and that way I'll be able to hit the ground running when she arrives. For reference I have attached a picture of my old OEM driveshaft and their one piece aluminum shaft(it is stronger, weighs 1/3 what the oem one does and looks so much prettier!) so that you'll know more or less what to look for. Thanks in advance for any help.

After the steep climb along Hartman Trail, I turned to admire the scenery of Canoe Creek. On this beautiful spring morning, the wind was driving sky blue waves on the lake and ripples of silver through new field grasses. Grackles were aggravating each other, chorusing their disapproval of nearby jays, while metallic tree swallows arrowed over their nest boxes. The warm sun and peaceful scene betrayed nothing of the quiet invasion and resulting death taking place under my feet.
I was taking one of my last hikes to check on the bat mine for signs of WNS (white nose syndrome) hitting our bat colony. The PA Game Commisison (PGC) had
installed gear focused at the mine entrance to detect the
calls of bats. The emergence of bats before their usual
spring exodus would provide the park and PGC biologists
WNS has been sweeping down from the New England
states in the last few years, wiping out over a million
bats across hibernation sites in the northeast. Numbers
indicate that once WNS finds its way into a wintering
Scientists still cannot agree if the fungus that appears on bat muzzles and wings is the cause of death. Somepropose that the white fungus appears on the bats after their systems are weakened from starvation. It may be possible that pesticides accumulate in the bats' tissues, increasing their metabolism and forcing them into starvation before outside temperatures are warm enough to provide them the insects they need.
Crossing the ridge, I circled down the dirt road to the mine entrance. The tightly fitted gate, only five feet high and eight feet wide, was designed to stop intrusion of predators (mostly human) into the hibernating colony. However, the bat gate, now a standard measure across the country for protecting wintering colonies, was not designed to prevent against disease such as WNS. The last 50 or so years of studying bats have shown us that we reap incredible benefits from services they provide as they cull insect populations. The US Forest Service estimates that because of WNS, 2.4 million pounds of insects will go uneaten and become a financial burden to farmers. Crop production will require more insecticides, raising food costs and increasing untold environmental concerns. In Pennsylvania, a state with an agriculture-based economy, those losses are no small thing.
As the world grows smaller, we have struggled to keep pace with the ever-increasing invasion of exotic species. Although scientists are not 100 percent certain of the origins of the fungus that causes WNS, many believe that it originated in Europe and reached U.S. caves via tourists and cave enthusiasts. If that is the case, WNS will qualify as one of the many thousands of invasive species from all kingdoms of life rearing its ugly head, wreaking untold havoc with natural systems.

Thank you to everyone on this board who helped with recommendations in Manchester. Though we went last month, I wanted to post a review of where we ate before it got too late.
First lunch was at Sushi Boat - recommendation of a friend who is here often. Very fresh rolls, and yummy standard sushi restaurant food, including shumai, edamame and seaweed salad.
Dinner at the Dorset Inn was highlighted by the cozy fireplace table we had, and the tomato-fennel soup and beet salad first courses we ordered.
We really enjoyed the cheddar fondue at the Marsh Tavern at the Equinox, including the hot pretzel nuggets for dipping.
Dinner at Gringo Jack's was a nice surprise. We had trepidations based on some reviews on chowhound, but figured those might be out of date - and we really weren't looking for much. But they have fresh and addictive chips, excellent salsa, fresh guacamole with plenty of cilantro, a strong Hornitos margarita and the BBQ brisket tacos were perfectly balanced between tangy, spicy and sweet.
Another good lunch spot, this time for great sandwiches and hearty, beefy chili, was Ponce.
All of these places were solid and recommended for good meals. The highlight of the trip though, from an eating perspective if not the whole thing, was Silver Fork. Chef Mark French and his wife Melody run the most delightful, cozy, and lovely 6 table restaurant, plus 6 seats for bar eating. I've never seen my wife take so long to decide what to order - each of us could have had five first courses and five main courses. We settled on tuna tartare for her (with the most yummy warm plantain "chips" you could imagine) and tuna carpaccio for me (accented by capers and onions). For our mains, my wife had a veggie bake of sautéed eggplant and other veggies, roasted garlic and goat cheese. I had Wiener schnitzel (owing to the chef's five year apprenticeship with a German chef). Probably the best I've had anywhere. Dessert was chocolate mousse served in an almond brittle cup. We devoured everything. Wine was matched to each dish by Melody, who runs the front of the house and tells stories of the couple's moves from Baltimore to KC to Toronto to Puerto Rico to St. Louis to Manchester, all working in hotels and restaurants. The town is lucky to have them and we'll be back this way just to eat here.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: why has my truck gone through three fuel pumps in less then one year on 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
could there be something else causing a problem
OEM/GM pumps or aftermarket??
after market pumps
Brand name? Was the connector to the pump module changed?
they look the same one pump was from crq&rally the # on the box is mu1314 i cant find the # on the other one but it was from 4 usa.
The connectors give trouble, i always replace it along with a top drawer pump module with no problems later. AC or Delphi pump mod.
Airtex ok.
Airtex ok.
ok so i should just break down and get a top notch pump instead of a nock off right.
Well first check the connector to the pump for burnt/melted condition IF pump is not running! Check fuel pressure make sure it not another problem like VAT (theft) system No dont just run out and buy parts until problem is properly diagnosed!! All we can do is suggest certain possible causes.However if pump replacement is required buy a good unit.
ok thanks for all your imformation i appreciate it i checked the presure and it had 30 one time and 10 another it throws the tighten gas cap code evry now and then with this pump thats in there now it will idle but real ruff and just for a little bit i tapped on the tank for a bit an had my son give it some gas and it ran just fine as long as i was tapping on it
I say the pump is your trouble but check the harness connector inside to see if any sign of heat which is caused by high resistance which is caused by poor connection. Dont have to purchase pump from GM but get a quality part! New connector should come with pump module.
ok will do thanks again for all your help
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Day Three Misfits Road Trip
Today has been a roller coaster of a day. We woke up to David from the Paramore Baptist Church brining us donuts, breakfast burritos and coffee. Seriously the families we dealt with in Amarillo were beyond welcoming.
After breakfast, the church asked us to help them set up for a few events that they had going on. We moved chairs, swept floors, set up tables, really easy stuff, and we were glad to help. Something really cool that Paramore does at their church is they have lessons for the refugees that come to Amarillo. Believe it or not Amarillo gets a TON of refugees who come to work in the cattle and meat packing business. The program at the church was very moving, and makes you realize how lucky we are to live in America.
After we finished our work at the church, David and his crew invited us to lunch at Blue Sky, which we were told was the best burger in Amarillo and possibly all of Texas. After having the burger; I have to agree it is DANG GOOD! The crew at Blue Sky heard our story and comped our lunch. Seriously again the people of Amarillo are some of the nicest people on earth!
We said goodbye to our friends in Amarillo and headed for Oklahoma City. Now we knew our resources were going to run dry in Oklahoma City, but we had hope that something would happen in our favor..
Just after we left Amarillo we got a Facebook message about a taco shop that had $50 for us. We jumped at this as we only had about $70 to our name..... We had an idea we maybe doing something kind of odd here, but we had no idea how odd. Well.... the owner of Pony Express Burritos gave us two pony costumes and said put these on and get me some business. So Creston and Adama suited up and joined me in my barrel on the corner of the road. We jumped around and caused quite a scene, and I will be honest, I do not think this part of Texas was ready for what we were doing. We got many looks, and the local police officer drove past us a few dozen times.... Now while working we realized someone was missing...... STU! Again the dude dodges work, and this time he went to a local store to try and buy a wig..... Now why would Stu want a wig.... because this morning he decided to wear shoes with dice in the heals....please remember we worked at a church in the bible belt of Texas with a man wearing pimp shoes.... I am telling you this Stu is a one of a kind.
After our jobs as ponies we headed for Oklahoma City, we filled up with gas, and were down to $123.16. It quickly became obvious that we were hitting a really really rough patch... We began to realize we had no jobs for additional money in Oklahoma City, n place to stay and the only food we had was our groceries from Albertsons.... This was going to get really interesting. Thankfully a KNIX listener got in contact with us and provided us with a discount code for a hotel. We found a hotel in Oklahoma for $53 after tax. This discount code was huge because we found a place to stay that we could afford. Now this was not the 4 seasons, and the room faces I-40 so it is far from silent, and the entire misfit crew is one room.... SLUMBER PARTY!!!!!
Oh yea how could I forget the huge new drama.... NO Stu did not cause this drama. Misfit Stephanie found in the middle of Texas that her pictures had been used in a catfish scam. She found out when the TV show Catfish called her and told her. We thought it was a joke, however after some research she found it was all true. Poor Stephanie is trying to figure this out with a cell phone that can't find service, it was crazy to watch it all unfold.
Now for the tough part..... We have budged for fuel, and we need some new wipers for the van, so we are left with about $13 for Dallas. Now we have some really good leads on jobs for Dallas, and we should be able to make some money. Hopefully we will be working at a Harley Davidson dealership outside of Dallas, only problem we were going to be doing a bike wash, and BBQ for money..... well it supposed to storm all day... This could "RAIN ON OUR PARADE" Our second job we think will be working at the legendary Dallas country bar Billy Bob's! My good buddy DeeJay Silver made some calls and got us this gig, now what we will be doing I do not know. Honestly right now we will do ANYTHING.
We have to hustle as hard as we can in Dallas as it our last day to make money before Austin. I would be lying if I felt that we were in good shape, but I am confident we will make it. We have some smart people on this trip, and we can make it work.... I HOPE.
Now I want to thank you for helping us find a job at Pony Express Burritos, I also want to thank you for helping us get a discount code for our room. If it were not for you helping us with those two things, we would be broke and stranded!
Tomorrow is a big day, and they say anything is possible in Dallas, so we are going to test the theory!
Thank you so much for following along on our journey!

San Francisco CA (SPX) Feb 27, 2014
A pearl net filled with seedpods, tethered by a rope anchored in the coastal mud but swaying with the tide, could be an especially effective way to restore disappearing marine meadows of eelgrass, according to a new study.
The resulting crop of eelgrass grown by SF State researchers is as genetically diverse as the natural eelgrass beds from which the seeds were harvested, said Sarah Cohen, an associate professor of biology at the Romberg Tiburon Center. As eelgrass meadows are threatened by a number of human activities, restoration plans that maintain diversity are more likely to succeed, she noted.
The emphasis on genetic diversity is a relatively new concern in ecosystem restoration projects, where there has been an understandable urgency to move plants and animals back into an area as quickly as possible. "It's taken a little longer for people to say, 'we need to know who we're moving,'" Cohen said, "and to explore how successful different genotypes are in different settings, so we can more strategically design the movement of individuals for restoration."
Eelgrass restoration projects are challenging because it's not easy to plant seedlings under the water, and seeds scattered over a large area could be washed away from the restoration site. Instead, RTC researchers tested the Buoy Deployed Seeding (BuDS) restoration technique.
They first harvested eelgrass seedpods from several eelgrass beds in San Francisco Bay, then suspended the pods within floating nets over experimental tanks (called mesocosms) supplied with Bay water and with or without sediment from the original eelgrass areas. As the seeds inside each pod ripened, a few at a time, they dropped out of the nets and began to grow within the tanks.
The researchers then examined "genetic fingerprints" called microsatellites from the plants to measure the genetic diversity in each new crop. Genetic diversity can be measured in a number of ways, by looking at the number of different variants in a gene in a population, for instance, or by examining how these variants are mixed in an individual.
Based on these measurements and others, the new crops were nearly as genetically diverse as their parent grass beds, Cohen and colleagues found. "These offspring impressively maintained the genetic diversity and distinctiveness of their source beds in their new mesocosm environments at the RTC-SFSU lab," said Cohen.
"I think it's impressive how well it worked for a relatively small scale design," she added, "and that's one of the things we wanted to point out in the paper, since a lot of eelgrass restoration projects are so small, up to a few acres."
Sea grass meadows are a key marine environment under siege. In their healthy state, they stabilize coastal sediment and provide a huge nursery for a variety of algae, fish, shellfish and birds. But a variety of human influences, from bridge building to runoff pollution to smothering loads of sediment, have threatened these grass beds globally.
They're often overlooked and misunderstood, Cohen said. For instance, many of the eelgrass beds in the San Francisco Bay are submerged. "If you were out kayaking at low tide, you might see these grasses in places like Richardson Bay, which is full of a big meadow," she said.
During low tides, beachcombers could walk to eelgrass beds at places like Crown Beach in Alameda or Keller Beach in Richmond. But for the most part, "people might see the green blades washed up on the beach, and not realize that these are flowering plants instead of a piece of algae."
In classes at the RTC, students are learning how to combine genetics and ecology for projects that build better strategies to preserve the surprisingly distinct eelgrass meadows of San Francisco Bay. Cohen said that differences in water salinity, wind, sunlight, a sandy or silty bottom, and the kinds of organisms that live with the eelgrass all might play a role in creating such genetically different meadows.
"Conservation of Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Genetic Diversity in a Mesocosm-Based Restoration Experiment," by Cohen, Brian Ort, Katharyn Boyer, Laura Reynolds, Sheh May Tam and Sandy Wyllie Echeverria was published in the Feb. 21, 2014 issue of the journal PLOS ONE.

There is a beautiful side to Israel's parliamentary politics. Almost any notion under the Israeli sun can present itself to the voters for affirmation. But over the next few weeks we will likely witness the less flattering side: the horse trading of coalition assembly. The egos, the snubs, the avarice, the imperfect union of deeply conflicting ideals and, above all, the central tension: whether to choose the proper, or politically expedient, candidate for each cabinet position.

Introduction to Global Precipitation Algorithms and Data Sets
George J. Huffman
21 January 2013, rev. 17 June 2013
1. Background
In the modern age the good news is that there is a rich selection of precipitation products from which data users can choose. However, this relative plethora of products is also a problem for users, requiring them to determine which product(s) to use. This document is intended to assist in this process by providing information and pointers to additional information on the algorithms that are used to compute precipitation estimates and the data sets that provide the estimates. The focus here is on data sets that provide
- global (or nearly global) coverage, with
- multi-year periods of record, that are
- publicly available.
At the surface, the only observations that support the requirements for spatial coverage and length of record are precipitation gauges (popularly referred to as "rain gauges"), and even they suffer large gaps, principally over oceans and in in sparsely settled land regions. Nonetheless, they are included both as input and in separate analyses because of their status as the closest thing we have to actual measurements, with appropriate caution in areas of sparse coverage.
In the next two sections the algorithms and data sets are introduced. The listings on which these are based have been assembled and are maintained by the International Precipitation Working Group (IPWG). The IPWG is charged with advancing precipitation science and promoting the use precipitation data by its parent body, the Coordinating Group for Meteorological Satellites, which is the World Meteorological Organization group focused on the operational use of meteorological satellites. The IPWG home page is http://www.isac.cnr.it/~ipwg/.
2. AlgorithmsAlgorithms are the computational procedures used to convert satellite and surface data into precipitation estimates. Considering satellite data, the first tier of algorithms converts sets of channel data to precipitation estimates for individual satellites. In very general terms, this means taking advantage of the characteristics of the various individual data sources discussed in the previous section. The reader should go to the algorithm pages on the IPWG web site or recent reviews (Kidd and Huffman 2011, Tapiador et al. 2012) to find information on how this is done, but a few overarching comments are in order. For example, one important implication of IR's dependence on cloud top is that no first-principles precipitation estimate is possible. Every IR algorithm is calibrated with some other source of precipitation data. In some cases this calibration is static (for example the GPI), computed for a particular developmental data set and then applied without further modification. In other cases the calibration is dynamic (for example the TMPI used in the GPCP 1DD), being recomputed on some schedule prescribed in the algorithm.
The precipitation signal in microwave data actually results from two physical effects, emission and scattering. Emission, which dominates at frequencies below 37 GHz, primarily arises from the emission of microwave energy by the surface, atmospheric vapor, and liquid cloud and hydrometeor drops. Scattering, which dominates at frequencies above 37 GHz, results from solid hydrometeors scattering upwelling microwave energy out of the line of sight of the satellite instrument. Solid hydrometeors tend to be confined to the upper levels of clouds, so the scattering signal is less sensitive to the surface precipitation than the emission signal. Also, snow, ice, and frost on the ground are highly effective at scattering, so such surfaces prevent a useful scattering-based precipitation estimates. Both emission and scattering are useful over ocean, but only scattering is over land, because the land's high emissivity and strong heterogeneity defeat current-generation emission algorithms. Accordingly, microwave estimates over land tend to be considered less reliable. Developing snow algorithms is a major focus in current research, including in the Global Precipitation Measurement mission (GPM). It is also the case that coastal areas and regions with complex terrain pose particular challenges for microwave-based algorithms.
Analyses of precipitation gauge data can be considered single-sensor algorithms as well. Assembling, quality-controlling, and archiving the necessary data records from the international collection of weather stations is a major barrier to creating such data sets. Another issue is that the effects of wind, evaporation, and side-wetting, usually resulting in an undercatch of precipitation, should be considered in the analysis. Wind losses are particularly significant in snow events (Legates 1987; Sevruk 1989).
A second tier of algorithms uses various combinations of satellite sensors. Note well that, except for the TCI, which uses TRMM PR and TMI channel data, all of the combination schemes combine precipitation products from the various individual sensors. The general goal is to provide denser time/space coverage with higher quality than any single-sensor algorithm can provide. Although the combination schemes seek to emphasize strengths and minimize weaknesses in the individual-sensor estimates, many of the shortcomings found in combination algorithm results are directly traceable to errors in the individual-sensor estimates.
The IPWG seeks to obtain algorithm summaries both from developers whose work results in the datasets discussed in the next section, and from developers whose algorithms are not represented in the next section. The latter group might provide an early look at possible future directions for quasi-operational data sets. Of course, not all data sets in the IPWG have a corresponding algorithm description. The algorithm descriptions are posted at http://www.isac.cnr.it/~ipwg/algorithms/algorithms-invent.html.
3. Data SetsThe actual precipitation data sets which are considered to be global (or nearly global), multi-year, and publicly available are summarized in four tables posted on http://www.isac.cnr.it/~ipwg/data/datasets.html. These tables are organized along the lines discussed above to help users more easily compare products:
- Table 1: Combination datasets with gauge data; data sets that are produced by combining input data from several sensor types, including satellite sensors and precipitation gauges.
- Table 2: Satellite combination datasets; data sets that are produced by combining input data from several satellite sensor types.
- Table 3: Single-source datasets; data sets from a single satellite sensor type.
- Table 4: Precipitation gauge analyses; data sets from precipitation gauge data.
4. ContactsWe anticipate that most questions about the algorithms and data sets are properly directed to the relevant experts. Questions about this summary and the listings may be directed to the IPWG webmaster (Vincenzo Levizzani, email@example.com) or the appropriate document custodian (George Huffman, email@example.com).

Wells Fargo Bank NA is notifying some 7,000 people that their Social Security numbers and other personal information may have been accessed by thieves using the financial services firm's access codes.
The bank learned of the compromise on July 1 from MicroBilt Corp., a reseller of consumer data, according to a Wells Fargo spokeswoman. MicroBilt notified Wells Fargo of suspicious transactions made on its site using the bank's access codes, she said.
The codes are used by certain Wells Fargo employees to access MicroBilt's consumer credit data.
The spokeswoman noted that the accessed records belonged to "random individuals," only a small number of whom were Wells Fargo customers.
"There is a full investigation under way to find out who is behind this," the spokeswoman said. Investigators have not yet determined how the Wells Fargo access credentials were illegally obtained, she added.
The compromise was first reported by The Breach Blog, which posted a link to a July 31 letter in which Wells Fargo notified New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte that nine state residents were affected by the breach.
New Hampshire law requires companies to notify the state of breaches that expose the personal information of residents.
In the letter, Peter McCorkell, Wells Fargo's senior corporate counsel, disclosed that "a significant number of unauthorized transactions had been made using Wells Fargo's codes." He said that Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, driver's license numbers and, in some cases, credit account information had been accessed.
The letter also said that the bank has contact information for only about 2,400 of the affected individuals.
In a letter sent to the victims whose addresses were available, Sherry Courtney, a Wells Fargo senior vice president, offered a year's subscription to credit-monitoring services.
Since 2004, Wells Fargo has suffered through a string of breaches, mostly involving lost or stolen computers, that led to the loss of personal data.
This story, "Wells Fargo Access Codes Compromise Personal Data" was originally published by Computerworld.

New Epic IP Set For GDC Reveal
GDC 2011 will take place 28 February to 4 March, and will play home to several key developer showcase sessions.
Epic's new IP remains shrouded in mystery although there has been no comment on whether or not this is the much rumoured Kinect title the studio is said to be currently working on.
In a recent interview with EGM, Bleszinski confirmed that Prototype lead designer Eric Holmes is in charge of the project, and that we should all keep out "eyes peeled at GDC"
"I believe game designers are the Stan Lees and Jack Kirbys of our day," Bleszinski commented, "and we're creating these universes that leave a huge impact on people. Gamers votes with their dollars and they often like established IP, but those IPs came from somewhere, right?
The designer continued, "Call of Duty was crafted by the original Medal of Honor guys. Gears of War was crafted by the original Unreal Tournament guy. I look forward to creating what's next."
So what do you think this new project could be?
Meanwhile, check out our latest Gears of War 3 preview for more Epic Games.

The manner in which the british museum's deals with Bansky, as evidenced by his recent project at staid British Museum; with humor, good cheer, and high regard, in short a dry-but-stiff upper lip, not taking themselves more seriously but being completely open about what happened with the intervention contrasts sharply with the weird, angry and secretive manner in which New York museums deal with his pranks. While the NYC museums scoffed and acted rather bellicose, their no-less-esteemed British colleagues noted that they expected the piece back after it was finished being exhibited in a solo show Bansky has going up. Isn't this the way that hegemony is best able to co-opt anti-hegemonic initiatives, by lessening the acts power through acquiescence to the phisicalized aspects of the revolt, not the ideology that underlines it..
I am not saying that the work is particularly good, though I am drawn to aspects of it, and I think the execution is superb (a statement which is almost always a honey coated smack-down), however the brit. response seems eminently more reasonable and really, from an authoritarian point of view, effective.

Former Woolen Mill Converted into Newly Renovated Restaurant
The Woolen Mills Grill located on Martinsburg Pike opened its doors for the first time Monday morning.
Many community members poured in when the clock struck
"It brings back history!", said Donnie Newcome, previous mill worker.
The history of the mill has carried on and community members have memories of the place as if it was still there yesterday.
Newcome added, "In the evenings, I actually used to work as a weaver in the loom department and weaving department, and then one summer, I worked over at the park mowing grass and taking care of the pool."
There was also a separate woolen shop that sold high-quality women's clothing. Since the mill was open during World War Two, military blankets were also made.
"There's a lot of people that live here that worked at the mill. My parents worked here, my brother worked here, and I worked here as well," added Newcome.
The owner of the restaurant, Uday Subramanian was not available to speak on camera and said he did renovate the building but decided to keep certain parts the way they were to preserve history.
"Well, I just like the log building. I love the way they restored it and it's just wonderful. We'll certainly be coming here all the time," added Jean Sowers, who lived across from the mill.
Michael Hicks, an electrical contractor with the restaurant said, "Well, we tried to save some of the wiring, some of the old parts but it was too degraded so we had to start from scratch and we took everything out."
The woolen mill and shop eventually closed in the 1970's from economic strains but it is still a piece of memory many still live through.
Clear Brook Park previously a recreation facility for the mill employees. It even included a pool which is now turned into a lake.
The official grand open of the restaurant will take place sometime next week.

Pitkin County commissioners agreed to temporarily provide $1.5 million to begin the construction of an underpass linking the Aspen Airport Business Center with the airport and new bus stops in a work session on Tuesday.
Those funds will likely be reimbursed by a grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT) FASTER funds by Feb. 21, said Brian Pettet, director of Pitkin County public works. The county applied for the grant and CDOT has indicated that it will likely fund the project, but until that happens, the county will move some money from its reserves so that construction can move forward, he said. The contract securing the additional county funds would not be signed until CDOT ensures that the county is receiving the FASTER grant, Pettet said.
"It's a cash-flow issue," he said.
Construction of the underpass will cost $3 million, of which the county has committed to paying $500,000. The Elected Officials Transportation Committee (EOTC) is contributing $1 million and the rest of the funds are planned to come from the CDOT grant.
The hope is to begin construction on the underpass in April and have the project completed by September, Pettet said. Before that can happen, an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the county and the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA), which will manage the project, needs to be completed, Pettet said. The project also needs to get environmental clearances for construction near the airport, he said. Those items will hopefully be completed before April 1, Pettet said.
County officials will also undertake an advertising campaign in an effort to inform the public of potential traffic delays that will occur over the summer, he said. The plan is to maintain four lanes on the stretch of Highway 82 surrounding construction, but there will likely still be delays, Pettet said.

B-Mets Top SeaWolves in Seesaw Battle, 6-5
Muno leads charge with three-hit game
By Tim Heiman / Binghamton Mets | April 30, 2013 6:23 PM ET
BINGHAMTON, NY - The Binghamton Mets blew a pair of two-run leads, but prevailed on Tuesday night, defeating the Erie SeaWolves, 6-5, at NYSEG Stadium. Danny Muno capped a three-hit game with a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning.
For the second straight night, the B-Mets plated the eventual game-winning run in their last turn at bat. Blake Forsythe started the rally by blasting a leadoff double to right against reliever Blaine Hardy. Muno brought him home and broke the tie game by bouncing a sinking line drive single in front of Luis Castillo in right field.
Given a one-run advantage for the second time in as many nights, Jeff Walters retired all three SeaWolves he faced in the ninth to collect his league-leading eighth save.
In a contest that pitted a pair of spot-starting southpaws, the B-Mets drew first blood against Erie starter Matt Crouse. With two aboard, Wilfredo Tovar got Binghamton on the board with an RBI single and Alonzo Harris doubled the lead on a sac fly.
B-Mets starter Mark Cohoon made the lead stand through four innings. Making his first start of the season and pitching in his first game since April 14, the lefty faced just one over the minimum over four shutout innings.
Erie scratched out their first run in the fifth against reliever Shawn Teufel. Tyler Collins reached on a fielding error by Wilfredo Tovar and took second on an errant pickoff throw by Teufel. James Robbins brought him in with an RBI single to right.
After Binghamton returned serve with a run on a David Kopp wild pitch in the fifth, the SeaWolves tied the game in the sixth against Jack Leathersich. A leadoff walk came back to bite the lefty when Collins threaded a game-tying two-run homer over the left field wall.
Forsythe offered a quick rebuttal in the bottom half of the frame. The B-Mets catcher tattooed a 2-2 offering from Kopp over the left field fence to break the tie. Joe Bonfe extended the lead with a sac fly later in the frame.
The two-run lead did not last for long as Leathersich fell into more trouble in the seventh. The SeaWolves loaded the bases on two singles and hit batsman. Hernan Perez provided a sac fly and Ramon Cabrera capped a nine-pitch at bat with a game-tying RBI single up the middle.
Chase Huchingson (2-0) entered in the eighth and worked around a two-out double to preserve the tie. The southpaw racked up his second consecutive win after the B-Mets took the lead on Muno's hit. Hardy (0-1) suffered the loss in his SeaWolves debut.
The B-Mets (14-11) continue their series against the SeaWolves (12-11) Wednesday night at 6:35 PM. RHP Rafael Montero (3-1, 1.95) gets the nod for Binghamton against RHP Victor Larez (3-0, 3.43). The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pregame Show begins at 6:20 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
POSTGAME NOTES: Binghamton matched a franchise record with 14 wins in the month of April…Allan Dykstra's career-best ten-game hitting streak came to a close with his 0-for-2 performance…The top four hitters in the B-Mets batting ordered combined to go 1-for-12; the bottom five went 9-for-18

BRIAN WILLIAMS, CTV-TSN Trent Frayne was a truly great journalist. However he was so much more. Years ago we were both involved in the CBC show Celebrity Tennis being taped at the Inn and Tennis Club near Parry Sound. We received word that the Toronto Mayor's limo had been involved in a minor accident nearby.
Trent and I drove to investigate. It was not serious and there were no injuries however it turned out the investigating OPP Officer's son was involved. Trent walked over to the officer and said--"don't be angry. Embrace him. I lost my son in a highway accident."
He had that rare combination of ability, decency, compassion and class.
Truly one of a kind.
STEPHEN BRUNT, Rogers Sportsnet
Trent Frayne – "Bill" – was a sharp, elegant, witty writer and a sharp, elegant, witty human being. He was part of Canada's greatest generation of sports columnists, with Scott Young and Milt Dunnell and Jim Coleman, but even in that august company, his unique voice stood out. He had a remarkable subtlety, even when he was hammering home a point, or letting you know who the bad guy was. Rare are writers so light on their feet. He was also a colleague, a friend, a mentor, and a professional role model. Stepping into his shoes at The Globe and Mail remains the most intimidating thing I've ever done, and receiving those distinctive, short, sweet and absolutely-to-the-point notes of encouragement (and, occasionally, constructive criticism) from him over the years meant more than any award.
They don't make them like that anymore.
Safe journey, Bill.
If there was ever a Mount Rushmore of Canadian sports writers, Trent Frayne would be up there with his face locked in that impish smile.
He was a master at his profession and could take you places and make you laugh with his polished touch – like the time he began a column by listing all manner of actors, singers and famous people then asking what they had in common with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The punch line? "None of them can hit left-handed pitching."
That was vintage Frayne – wry, witty, a writer who could carve a subject to pieces with deft strokes instead of bludgeoning it to a pulp the way so many others did, and still do.
The newspaper industry has changed dramatically since Frayne's writing days with The Globe and Mail. The news comes faster and more furious now; readers' attention spans grow shorter by the tweet. But what remains of newspapers in their shining moments is what Frayne stood for, what he delivered unfailingly – a depth of subject matter, a point of thought and writing so sweet you could recite it like poetry.
Trent put out a book years back dubbed Trent Frayne's All-Stars. It was a collection of Canadian sports writing and it featured many fine pieces. But it was clear to every scribbler included in the book who the real all-star was, the guy you wanted to emulate but knew you never could – although, if you'd pressed him he probably would have admitted his own shortcomings.
Trent Frayne couldn't hit left-handed pitching, either.
The phone rang.
"Hello," said the smooth, gentle voice. "This is Trent Frayne."
At the time, I was trying to find my way in hockey-crazed Toronto as a newly branded sports columnist with a baseball and basketball and football background. It wasn't going all that well, or so I thought every night while trying to find sleep. Maybe he sensed the insecurity.
He was already a Hall of Fame columnist and no matter what subject he chose to write about, and no matter the length of the piece, the quality of his smooth, intelligent, literary prose would seduce a reader from the opening sentence to the closing.
"Mr. Frayne," I said.
Why would Trent Frayne be calling me? Pregnant pause.
He described a breakfast club: Every month or so a group of sports writers would meet at a diner over eggs and coffee, and talk journalism. Free wheeling, lively, no-holds barred, he explained.
And he invited me to join.
I didn't know what to say.
Pregnant pause, again. Me?
"I'm honoured," I said, while thinking, wow.
As an aspiring sports writer, you look at the best in the business – at The Globe, Allen Abel ... Trent Frayne ... Stephen Brunt – and maybe attempt to imitate their styles. How hard can it be, right?
Ultimately comes a realization: You thrive or wilt on your own talent, because theirs is unique. It can't be replicated.
I got shipped to Calgary, and never did join the breakfast club.
So, we're going to start it again. In honour of Trent Frayne.Report Typo/Error

"He is one of the best teachers I have had... He is well-organized, presents good lectures, and creates interest in the subject. I hope my comments don't hurt his chances of getting tenure."
--Student evaluation of a professor at MIT
Here's why it pays to laugh in the classroom: Students who have teachers with a strong orientation to humor tend to learn more.
A little bit of laughter in a classroom can go a long way in decreasing anxiety, lowering defenses, fostering a positive student-instructor relationship, defusing tensions, provoking imagination, triggering interest and motivation to learn, and opening the mind.
For more tips on using humor in the classroom, see Stuart Hellman's article, "Humor in the Classroom: Stu's Seven Simple Steps to Success." College Teaching. 55.1 (2006):177.
