Back Pain
Is chronic back pain preventing your from living an active life? Nearly half of all Americans experience low back pain each year, reports the American Chiropractic Association, and 31 million Americans may be suffering from back pain right now. Low back pain is the leading cause for disability worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2010. Here in the United States, Americans spend at least $50 billion on back pain care– and that's just the readily identifiable costs for medical care, workers compensation payments and time lost from work, reports the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. Nearly all cases of back pain are mechanical; this means the pain is likely connected to a musculoskeletal problem rather than a life-threatening disease like cancer. Our chiropractor in Central Phoenix, Dr. Michael Soloman, DC, has substantial experience treating back pain with drug-free, non-invasive chiropractic care.
If you are suffering from chronic back pain, our chiropractor understands just how frustrated and overwhelmed you may feel. Many medical treatments rely on prescription painkillers to alleviate pain symptoms. This approach to care can be shortsighted, however, since the pain will return as soon as the drugs wear off. Other treatment options like surgery can be risky; in some cases, patients end up experiencing more back pain after surgery than they had before the operation. Chiropractic care is a conservative treatment approach for managing back pain. Chiropractic adjustments target the root cause for your pain – a slipped or herniated disc – and bring correct alignment back to the spine.
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment approach that is safe and effective for managing back pain– and research studies support this. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recently conducted an extensive study of patients with low back problems. Based on the study's findings, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research now recommends that low back pain sufferers choose the most conservative care first. The agency specifically cited chiropractic spinal manipulation as "the only safe and effective, drugless form of initial professional treatment for acute low back problems in adults." The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) agrees. JAMA recommends chiropractic care as an effective treatment for lower back pain relief and cautions that surgery is typically not needed and should only be undertaken when all other treatment options are exhausted
You do not have to accept back pain as an inevitable part of aging or stop living an active life. Take back control of your life with chiropractic care for back pain relief. For more information on how chiropractic adjustments may be able to relieve your pain, schedule a diagnostic exam with our chiropractor in Central Phoenix. Based on the exam's findings, our chiropractor Dr. Michael Soloman, will create a custom treatment program to best relieve your pain through conservative care.

The Inspiration Network is having a "The Waltons Fan Favorite Labor Day Marathon" on September 5th, starting at 1 pm ET. Here's the "fan favorites" that will be shown on the day.
1. The pony cart
2. The bequest
3. The parting
4. The foundling
5. The firestorm
6. The typewriter
7. The gift
8. The journey
9. A Walton's family reunion (which I'm thinking will be a repeat of the reunion of the cast which was filmed by INSP when The Waltons joined their lineup.
So that got me thinking about how that compares with your favorites. There seems to be quite a mix of episodes, from varying seasons. How do you like the episodes chosen? Are there some there that you could do without seeing? Which are those episodes from the lineup that are must-sees for you?
Looking at the list, for me I think it starts with that wonderful classic episode of The Pony Cart, with the much loved Beulah Bondi as Martha Corinne. I think this episode is The Waltons at it's very, very best, and I love that it brings back Bondi's character, and also tells us a little bit about the history of the Walton family. Eric Scott (Ben) says that it was a real joy to work with Beulah Bondi, and I can imagine that it was. What a show business trooper to have joined the cast for this episode. Kudos to the director, Ralph Senensky and the writer of the episode, Jack Miller.
The Journey is another classic episode, and of course it has that special appearance of Earl Hamner in Maggie's dream sequence (well not really a dream so much as remembering). In fact Earl claims that his debut was so traumatic that he never would act again! The episode shows how thoughtful John Boy is to an old woman who knows she is about to die. Interesting that it's another episode about death, and I've just noticed that The Gift is also among the lineup. Keep a box of tissues by your side on the day!
I'm thinking that for me, The Firestorm would be my pick for the very best, and I really must watch this episode again. I think it is absolutely brilliant. Writers Rod Peterson and Claire Whitaker have created a story about John Boy wanting to keep the community informed on the news in Europe, so he prints parts of Mein Kampf in his newspaper. His own family reacts in a variety of ways to this decision. The Reverend Fordwick ends up holding a book burning, with surprising results. Rod and Claire gave some background to this story by saying that when Rod himself was at school he had a teacher who told the social studies class about Mein Kampf. That teacher was then accused of teaching Nazism and many people wanted him sacked. I like that one fan, Mrs Sam Harris, says in Goodnight John Boy that "This episode teaches how judging can destroy people. Hitler was judging the Jews, and Walton's Mountain people were judging the Germans." p.124 How right she is. This is one episode that gives me shivers every time I see it and would rank among my very favorite episode.
The Gift is always one to watch, with Ron Howard, but very sad indeed. Interesting to see the many reactions of family and friends to a child's impending death. Ron Howard plays Seth beautifully.
The Typewriter would be among my first season favorites. It introduces us to the lovely Baldwin ladies, and they were such great characters throughout the whole series. I love how awful poor Mary Ellen feels when she realises she has given away the typewriter belonging to the ladies, as scrap. It also shows the difficulties which John Boy, and perhaps Earl Hamner, had initially getting publishers to read his work. A poor writer would not have been able to afford a typewriter in those days. If a publisher wouldn't even read a manuscript that wasn't typewritten, what would you do? Just another little snippet from Goodnight John Boy to go with this episode. Mary Jackson who played Miss Emily so beautifully, recalls getting on a bus one day and being offered a seat by a gentleman. As she sat down he said to her: "And how is Ashley Longworth?" Just gorgeous. How she must have laughed about that later.
Now it's over to you. What are your thoughts on the episodes chosen? Let me know for the next digest, and I hope many of you get to enjoy the Labor Day Marathon.
I see from the website that the DISH Network has dropped INSP. If this affects you, then head over to the INSP website for some further information and an online petition that you can sign. I must say that I really like the family drama that they have with The Waltons, Highway to Heaven, Our House and Dr Quinn Medicine Woman, and wouldn't be at all pleased if my cable network dropped them!

Working Group Report (April 2004)
Application Process for Telecommunications Projects
General Information:
First Steps
1) Identify relevant agency(ies) according to project type or location.
2) Contact relevant agency(ies) to set up a pre-application meeting.
3) Complete SF-299 application form and submit it, along with any additional requested information and applicable fees, to relevant agency(ies).
Pre-application Meeting
A pre-application meeting with all the relevant agencies is required to ensure that applicants are fully aware of the approval criteria and the process by which the agencies will evaluate applications. This meeting will facilitate more efficient processing of the rights-of-way application. Applicants should bring a map of the project area to the pre-application meeting.
Primary Agency Contact
For projects that involve more than one federal agency, the agencies involved will designate a lead agency immediately following the pre-application meeting and before an application is filed. One of the most important responsibilities of the lead agency is to serve as the primary contact for the applicant. Applicants should work directly with the lead agency.
Application Form 299
Applicants must fill out a Standard Form 299 (click here for a PDF version of the SF-299). The SF-299 requests information about the type of project proposed. The SF-299 provides the basic information that agencies need to evaluate the applicant's qualifications and the project's viability. Agencies may, however, request additional information from the applicant after receiving the SF-299 since all the information required by a particular agency may not be requested on the standarized form.
Time Frames
Initial Screening and Response for All Projects
For applicants that have participated in a pre-application meeting, the agency(ies) will review the initial application (the SF-299) and notify the applicant within 30 calendar days whether the application is "complete" and ready for formal review, or whether additional information must be submitted.
For applicants that have not arranged or participated in a pre-application meeting, the agency(ies) will review the application and notify the applicant within 60 days as to whether the application is complete.
Final Decisions on Small, Simple Projects
For small, uncomplicated projects, agency(ies) will strive to grant or deny a request for a right-of-way within 60 days of receiving a completed application.
Final Decisions on Large, Complex Projects
For larger, complex projects, the agency(ies), in consultation with the applicant and other affected parties, will establish a schedule of processing time frames and notify the applicant of that schedule within 60 days after the application is deemed complete.
Fees and Other Charges
Agencies may assess one or more fees for both: (1) the recovery of costs incurred by federal agencies in processing and monitoring rights-of-way, and/or (2) the assessment of rental payments or other compensation for the applicant's use of federal land. These fees will be discussed at any pre-application meeting held, or explained by the appropriate agency's representative.

Q&A: Garth Ennis Previews New Sci-fi Comic, "CALIBAN"Books/Art/Culture,Features/Interviews,News Svetlana Fedotov
For years, Garth "The Menace" Ennis has entertained audiences with no-holds-barred storytelling and spot-on commentary told through menacing zombies, god-like preachers, and superhero death squads. As controversial as he is talented, Ennis has dipped his pen in almost every genre in the comic industry, recently announcing he'll be adding yet another to his oeuvre : sci-fi. Titled CALIBAN, the story follows a group of astronauts who accidently crash into an alien ship, unleashing a wave of unparalleled horror. Mr. Ennis spoke to FANGORIA about the anticipated work…
FANGORIA: What about the story of Caliban inspired you to dip into sci-fi?
GARTH ENNIS: CALIBAN first began bubbling away when I learned there was going to be an Alien prequel—not just my favorite horror or sci-fi flick, probably my number one suspense movie of all time. Even to this day I find myself idly wondering about various aspects of its story. When I saw PROMETHEUS, I realized they'd gone in a different direction, but I had so many ideas of my own I figured I had enough for something completely new.
FANG: Facundo Percio has some amazing artwork on projects like FASHION BEAST. How much of his work influenced the over-all design vision of the new comic?
ENNIS He pretty much designed it from the ground up. As with most of my stories nowadays, the scripts were all finished long before the artist was even assigned, so he had everything he needed to work with. And he's done a fantastic job; nailed the characters and settings just how I wanted, given us some good creepy imagery such as the covers with the bodies fused into the ship.
FANG: Is CALIBAN a pre-cursor to more sci-fi projects in the future? Has this story scratched a creative itch that you have had for a long time?
ENNIS I have limited interest in sci-fi. I'm still very fond of the 2000AD stories I read as a kid, and I like the older STAR WARS trilogy. My favorites would be the great sci-fi/horror/action/whatever movies of the eighties: ALIEN, BLADE RUNNER, TERMINATOR, PREDATOR, ROBOCOP, ROAD WARRIOR, THE THING. Beyond that, my interest tails off rapidly. Scratching an itch is a good way of putting it. I wanted to do my take on the story where the vast spaceship rumbles its way through the stars, we track down endless empty corridors, the crew tap listlessly at their consoles…and then the shit hits the fan.
CALIBAN hits shelves Wednesday, April 2 from Avatar Press.

Abstracted and Referenced Articles about Mercury
Dr. Tom's Biography
Contact Information
My ongoing research on mercury amalgam fillings, chronic mercury poisoning, and mercury detoxification has allowed me to accumulate a wealth of information on these subjects. In the process I've put together the largest database of Referenced and Abstracted Articles about all aspects of these subjects ever compiled. It includes over 1100 referenced and abstracted articles (170 pages) with an easy to use Table of Contents that lets you readily access the articles from a secure page on my website.
The majority of the information consists of studies and articles obtained from journals and medical reference sites. Each article is referenced and an abstract is provided; and where possible, the PIMD number for PubMed—indexed for MEDLINE—will be included with the reference.
I am providing Free Access to my database for those participating in my Marketing Program. The following is the information you'll need to access my database.
URL Address: http://www.dentalwellness4u.com/mercury/ref.html
User Name: mercury
Password: references
This is a large document and could take up to 45 seconds for high speed internet access to load and up to 2 minutes for a 56 K modem. But once you access it you can easily and quickly move throughout the database. This is the largest collection of its kind and additional information about to use the database will be available when you access the link.
Many of the references I used to develop the ideas and concepts I present in The Poison in Your Teeth: Mercury Amalgam (Silver) Fillings . . . Hazardous to Your Health and Mercury Detoxification: The Natural Way to Remove Mercury from Your Body came from the articles in my database.
If you are still skeptical about whether or not mercury amalgam fillings are a health hazard, or about the extraordinary toxicity of mercury I suggest you read The Poison in Your Teeth and Mercury Detoxification before you review the studies found in my database. These books will provide solid background information, making it much easier to understand evaluate the material in the database.

We have included two pages for tracking the number of books you give out, who you give them to and responses received. There is also space at the bottom for Notes and Comments.
When using the Tracking System it will be important to assign someone to ask each patient how they found out about you. The best way is to be specific when you ask questions. For example, ask all new patients if they found out about you from one of the books and/or booklets. This will help jog their memory.
It gets a bit more difficult to track new patients who were referred by people who came to you through one of your existing patients to whom you gave the book or booklets to; but it can be done.
For example, if Brenda got a book and became a patient of yours and then later referred Dennis to you, it would mean that Dennis became a patient (indirectly) because of the book you gave Brenda. So make sure you check the chart of the patient who referred the new patient to see if she, or he, also received a book. This isn't exact science but you can gather useful information by asking and doing a little detective work.
Many dentists who have participated in our Marketing Program have not felt a need to continue with tracking once they found the Program was successful in bringing new patients to their practice on a regular basis. As you know, when you take the ROI into consideration, using my books and booklets to market and grow your practice is extraordinarily cost-effective. For example, just getting one new patient per year will more than pay for the cost of implementing the program.
Note: We recommend that you use the two tracking pages we've included in this section of the binder as masters and use them to make additional copies.
Printing the Tracking Sheets: You can print the two Tracking Sheets by Clicking Here. We recommend that you print the two pages and use them as master sheets from which to make additional copies as needed.

My job is to create demand and demand turns into dollars.
A bulk of my marketing career has been at companies that neither fit into the traditional definition of business-to-business nor business-to-consumer.
- Mohawk Industries made flooring and sold to a variety of retailers — from big box home centers to mom-and-pop small businesses — who then sold to the consumer.
- At TenCate Protective Fabrics, the flame-resistant textiles are sold to garment makers who then sell it directly to the customers or wearers (or to distributors who then sell to customers or wearers).
In both cases, the marketing and advertising targets both the businesses that purchases the products and the end consumer. In fact, a larger percentage of the marketing efforts goes toward the final consumer with the objective of what's called "pull-through demand."
If the consumer goes to a retailer asking for a specific product or brand, that demand drives the targeted business customers to buy more product.
Creating that demand among consumers can be challenging.
- In the flooring space, the consumer usually chooses type (carpet, hardwood, tile, etc.) and then style before even considering the brand.
- When it comes to garments, fabric is an ingredient. Look at what you're wearing now. You're more likely to know the fiber (cotton, rayon, etc.) than the fabric.
To create a sense of brand among consumers, educate those consumers enough to influence a purchase requires a remarkable marketing effort along with a strong brand.
In summary, the best way to make that happen:
- Excite: Create an excitement in consumers about a brand or product.
- Engage: Encourage the consumer to engage with the brand/product to ask for more information.
- Educate: Teach the consumer about brand/products so the consumer wants to purchase.
In the coming weeks, I'll explore how to make that happen.

Gameshow Wheel
I was contacted by a production company who needed someone to build them a freestanding 8 foot tall gameshow wheel. This is by far the largest set piece that I have built entirely on my own from design to completion. I feel proud of how it turned out, even though it didn't end up being used to produce a show after delivery.

Food is important to Solonese people who often discuss their favourite warung or eatery. As well as local specialities, food from across the Indonesian archipelago can be tasted in Solo. Packed with all kinds of eateries, from cheap street food to top knotch restaurants, visitors to Solo have a wide choice of where to eat. Check out my Googlemap to see the locations of some of my favourite places to eat.
Javanese cuisine in Solo
Nasi liwet, a Solonese speciality is rice (nasi) with cooked bamboo shoots and a light coconut sauce. It can be served with egg or chicken and is a nice light meal.
Nasi gudheg, originally from Yogya but widely available in Solo, is stewed jackfruit, beans, leaves and cow skin (yes really) in a sauce, served on rice. It can be eaten with chicken, egg, tofu, tempeh and others.
Soto is rice soup, often with beansprouts, and chicken or beef. Add some spicy sambal (chilli paste) and kecap manis (sweet thick soy sauce) and eat with fried tempeh and tofu. This is often eaten as a breakfast meal but can be eaten throughout the day and some places sell soto at night.
Bakso is meatballs, usually beef, served in a stock or soup with noodles and some leafy vegetables. Add sambal and kecap manis (as above). This meal makes a nice break from rice.
Gado-gado is a mixture of vegetables, egg and tempeh in a peanut sauce, served cold with krupuk (rice crackers) crushed on top. Another good way to avoid rice!
Lotek is similar to gado-gado but involves more leafy vegetables and tends to be spicier.
Nasi goreng is fried rice, usually cooked with egg and can be spicy. Variations include chicken, seafood, and so on.
Mi or mie is the word for noodles, which can be fried (mie goreng) or boiled (mie rebus, mie godok). Usually with vegetables and egg, can be spicy.
Ayam goreng (fried chicken), bebek goreng (fried duck) ikan goreng (fried fish) and other similar dishes follow a basic theme of fried main food item, served with rice, sambal (chilli paste), cucumber and cabbage leaves. These dishes are usually eaten without a spoon, using one's fingers.
Ayam bakar (grilled chicken) and other grilled meat or fish is served and eaten in the same way as the fried versions above. The meat is grilled in a sweet sauce or kecap.
Ayam tulang lunak is served and eaten as above. This time the chicken is cooked until the bones are soft and you can actually eat them.
Bubur is rice porridge, available in both sweet (bubur sum-sum) and savoury (bubur ayam) versions. It can also be called jenang.
Nasi pecel is a slightly spicy peanut sauce over beansprouts and leafy spinach-like vegetables served on rice. This can be eaten with egg, tempeh, tofu and so on.
Sop buntut is oxtail soup, served with rice.
Selat is not salad. It is a selection of cooked but cold vegetables such as potato, carrot, served with a sweet sauce.
Gorengan are deep-fried snacks, such as tempeh, tofu, banana etc. Healthy stuff!
Krupuk are rice crackers, available in various shapes and sizes and eaten as an accompaniment to almost any food.
Srabi, a sweet snack and a Solonese speciality, are small pancakes topped with a sweet rice mixture and your choice of banana, papaya, chocolate or coconut.
Teh is Javanese tea, a mixture of black and jasmine tea, served hot or with ice, sweet and without milk.
Kopi is coffee, served sweet, hot or iced, with or without milk.
Jeruk means citrus fruit and refers to a drink made of juicing a small orange, mixing with hot water and sugar, and serving hot or iced. Jeruk nipis refers to a lime rather than an orange, which is also used to make this drink.
Jahe means ginger and refers to a drink using ginger, hot water and sugar. Teh jahe is the combination of tea with the ginger drink.
Wedang is the Javanese word for drink.
Wedang ronde is a hot gingery drink served in a small bowl with a spoon. In the liquid there are several balls of glutinous rice with peanut butter inside, among other things such as peanuts.
Sekoteng is similar to wedang ronde but without the peanut butter balls, and sometimes with raisins or other dried fruit pieces.

Go wild with the Superstars of Frozen Fruit
Stock up on a superfood that's a no-brainer: Wild Blueberries have superior antioxidant capacity compared with other fruits and veggies. Best of all, these little blue powerhouses from Maine and Canada are also incredibly convenient, thanks to their year-round availability in your grocer's frozen fruit section. They're just as healthy as fresh and may retain their nutritional value longer.
Here are two quick tips to help you pack a powerful nutritious punch into your diet:
- Make sure they say wild - Check the bag to ensure you're getting authentic, frozen-fresh Wild Blueberries. If the word "Wild" isn't on the front of the package, scan the list of ingredients on the back.
- Check the size - Be sure to select the little wild ones. When in doubt, feel the berries in the bag - if they're "pea-sized," you've got the wild ones.
For more delicious recipes that add a daily dose of blue to your diet, visit www.wildblueberries.com.

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation. –George Washington
Washington was a passionate gardener and spent many hours tending such at his home in Mount Vernon. A man who did what was necessary and lead an army of miscreant dreamers to defeat the British Army and establish a new republic is nothing short of a bright light of inspiration.
The Bible offers two notable examples of friendships. The first is that between Jonathan and David, in which Jonathan walks a slender tightrope between his loyalty to his friend David and his devotion to his father Saul. The second is that between Ruth and Naomi, which gives us the beautiful verse that has been adopted by lovers but in its spirit holds the heart of true friendship….
"Wither thus goest, I will go, and where though lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God, where thou diest, will I die, and there will be buried: the Lord do so to me and more also, if ought but death part thee and me."
Samuel Johnson, who knew the fragility of friendship and said that "life has no pleasure higher or nobler than friendship," tended to place friendship on the same level of significance as marriage a joining with a brother in a space of safety and joy and peace.
Take the time to appreciate the friends in your life. Tell your friends often how much you love them and find occasion to celebrate them whenever you get a chance.

This is a rollicking eyewitness account of the 18th Battalion AIF in the First World War by one of its most decorated soldiers, the irrepressible Joe Maxwell.
Maxwell served at Gallipoli before being transferred to the Western Front. During 1917-1918 he was commissioned and awarded the DCM, Military Cross and Bar, and VC. This colourful memoir is a unique record of life as a First World War digger; Maxwell was in most of the major battles of the Western Front and graphically describes the action he saw, as well as the larrikinism of off-duty diggers.
Hell's Bells and Mademoiselles was first published in 1932. This 2012 edition includes an afterword detailing Maxwell′s post-war life. Hard cover, 271 pages.
The officers and men of the 18th Battalion AIF were among those who posed for photographers Louis and Antoinette Thuillier in Vignacourt, France. Images from the Thuillier collection feature in the Memorial's current exhibition Remember me: the lost diggers of Vignacourt
You may also be interested in The Lost Diggers, which tells the stories behind many of the images.

Fed Up: Is RihRih Getting Ready To Throw In The Towel On Chris Breezy And Crunchy Karrueche Love Triangle?
Only so much a bad girl can take…
Rihanna Tweets Messages About Chris Brown And Karrueche Love Triangle
The road to reconciliation between Rihanna and Chris Brown has been a rocky one. After a nasty report that Karrueche Tran was pregnant with Chris Brown's child surfaced recently, Rihanna sent some messages on twitter on how "sick of this s**t" she is!
On the same day the pregnancy report surfaced, Rihanna tweeted about being so upset over something that she had been driven to smoke! As we've already reported, a close friend of Karrueche's and a source close to Chris said Karate is not totting a gut full of waffle toned thug.
However, pregnant or not, RihRih is stressing the love triangle. Following the fed up tweets, she justified her toxic love how any ratchet girl justifies her fawkshit, using her zodiac sign!
Do you think Rihanna is ready to end the love triangle?

Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
|[Music] Female Announcer: The more
voters learn about Sarah Palin, the less there is to like.
As Alaska governor, Sarah Palin actively promotes the brutal and unethical aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife.
Using a low flying plane, they kill in winter when there is no way to escape.
Riddled with gunshots, biting at their backs in agony they die a brutal death.
And Palin even encouraged the cruelty by proposing a $150 bounty for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf, and then introduced a bill to make the killing easier.
Do we really want a Vice President who champions such savagery?

I have a 86 Ford Tempo and it is one of the greatest cars I have ever driven. It runs great. I have never had any real bad problems. It goes anywhere and when I say anywhere I mean anywhere. I have taken it mudding, driven through more snow then I thought a car could go through. I drove it through a river where water was 3/4 of the way up my headlights.
It has almost 200k miles on it, but there are some cars that have problems no matter what, but for me I love the Ford Tempo. I hope you have better luck with your new car.
28th Feb 2002, 12:18
I HAVE had much better luck with my other car. It is an '88 Accord LX. You can read about it under the caption "You cannot find a better college car...cheap, reliable, good gas mileage..." or something like that. Oh, and BTW, it has 255,000 miles on it and it runs great. I haven't had to fix anything on it since the review was written.
11th May 2002, 12:58
I have a 93 tempo gl. This is the best car I have had. After five years I have only speed 500 bucks repairing it.
30th Dec 2002, 22:17
I still have that darn car. It won't break all the way.
I do have to put oil in it EVERY TIME I start it. The oil leak is so bad, 5 miles the car will get so loud it sounds like it runs on steam. Then it will loose all pickup and stop running.
I replaced a bulb for the headlite, and it melted the headlite part and a piece of cardboard now holds it on.
You don't need a key to start it.
The inside is falling apart.
If you want heat,..get ready for a steam bath. It fogs up so bad it looks like "up in smoke"
The car wants to fall apart, but won't break all the way so I can s*** can it.

Stop waisting money on a Tempo.
When we bought our 1986 Ford Tempo in July 2002 from a dealer in Canada, the odometer read 14000 miles. And that was not tampered with. Everything under the hood was in mint condition, all shiny. As was the vehicle interior. Absolutely spotless.
Before could take the vehicle out of the dealer's showroom, he had to adjust the idling and patch up a couple rusty spots on the lower door.
We thought wow!,for $1200 we got ourselves a gem.
Soon we found out why this low-mileage semi-oldtimer was so cheap. In the first 2 months we spent $800 on new carburettors and and cooling systems. Then came the alternator, exhaust, shocks and side windows. That put us back another grand. It failed the emissions test a few times. The only good thing about it, is its tires. They are still the originals (1986!!) And it's not hard to guess why!
As long as we keep the foot on the gas, halfway down, it will keep running while waiting for the light to change to green.
Absolute rubbish car!!

I have owned three Tempos, and all of them have passed 200K. I had an 84, an 85, and an 86. It's a toss-up which one I liked the most, because they all ran so great. The first was eaten by a deer (midflight across the highway), the second rusted out and was cannibalized for the third. The 86 ran on time every time. I couldn't have been prouder to own it. I'm not ashamed that it was an ugly car, although after a while, that baby-blue colour grew on me. I changed the transmission lines, and the transmission linkage. I also changed the alternator and the battery. That's it. All three of them had the same problems, but the same great qualities. I figure it's a good design manufactured by a low-quality company. Not everyone can get a Wednesday car, some people get the Friday cars.

Wow, I just spent $350 on a 86' tempo not even two weeks ago, and the exhaust fell off mine too. luckily this dude on my street can weld, but that still cost me $85 which isn't bad I guess, but then the car keeps wanting to shut off when its in low gear. Tempos are the worst cars ever!!! Even at school they said I drove the ugliest bucket known to man, but it does get me from "A" to "B" sooo I guess I can't complain too much. I felt like I was the only one in the world with an 86' Tempo, guess not.
P.S. Good Luck with your new car, get a Mustang or Mitsubishi, best cars in the world.

I agree 110% with your review, I also wrote a review on an 86 tempo GL, The only thing I can think that that tempo did for me was teach me how to fix everything on a car. I would rather trust a complete stranger to piggy back me across town, than to jump in my tempo and risk a catastrophic failure of say.. EVERYTHING and kill me and innocent bystanders. Henry ford is turning over in his grave thinking about the idiot that conceived this WONDER of a vehicle. Those of you who have had good luck with tempos, good for you. For those who have not, I share your pain.

New Date! Moms Winning Workshop! Top 3 Reasons You Need to Come
Hey Moms, At times in life, we have to go with the flow in life. My workshop last Saturday was one of those things. Instead of meeting moms and envisioning our best lives, we all watched the snow fall through our windows from the comfort of our homes. But I'm a firm believer, everything happens… Read More »

Well, let's talk about everything we've missed talking about.
Connie had a birthday. Not one of the big ones but we celebrated nonetheless. Three dishes and three cocktails. Loved the meal. Haven't blogged about it yet... In truth, I can't find the recipes now...
Drove the Natchez Trace to a conference in New Orleans. Amazing food and drinks. Except for the food at the conference hotel - Hyattt by the Superdome. Go to Borgne but do not stay at that hotel. The food was the worst conference food I've EVER had. And, I go to a LOT of conferences! New Orleans, however, was stellar. Antiones, Commanders Palace, Arnauds. Oh, yeah.
Had a party. 90+ people at our house for a pitch-in. We did BBQ from Black Diamond. Except, we found out on Friday that we'd have 90+ instead of 70+ and we couldn't add to our order. On to Sam's to purchase six racks of ribs. Many dishes that I want the recipe for. YUMMM
Went to Michigan for a long weekend with our friends Chris and Mark. Saugatuck and the Hungry Village Tour. AMAZING! Then, on to Grand Rapids for the Meijer Gardens and the Gerald Ford Museum. One fabulous B and B and one we'll not be back to.
Family party at my brothers where he cooked the PERFECT summer dinner. Yup, it just doesn't get better than bbq chicken, corn on the cobb, sliced cucumbers, salad, cheesy bacon potatoes and pickled beets.
Now, if I was to do a blog on all of those I'd still be typing tomorrow morning when I'm supposed to be at the office for the first of six appointments. With an internet that's running at maybe 25% of what it's supposed to be doing. Painful. So, let me tell you about the ribs and the leftovers from the party. Oh, and a few photos from the party. Of course.
Back in 1994, Cheryl and Bill Jamison published Smoke and Spice. I bought it that year. It was my first true barbecue cookbook and is still my favorite one. I've tried rubs, marinades, sauces, entrees, side dishes. They've all been wonderful. So, when we wound up with a herd of ribs to cook at the last minute, I turned to Smoke and Spice. I'd already decided to use the Maple Mustard Porter mop and sauce we made a couple of months ago. Nice warm spices, thyme, brown sugar. Those were the flavors I was looking for. They were there. In a rub recipe called Sweet Sensation rub that I first used back in May, 1997. It was labeled, "WOW" back then. Same applies today.
Here are a few shots of the party:
Then, we had leftovers. Lots of our friends left goodies. Sue left half a pan of baked beans. These weren't just any baked beans. They were so good that Connie stopped me in the hall outside our offices and asked who'd brought them and could I get the recipe because they were the BEST beans he'd ever had. I had to agree. Sammy and Sarah left chorizo mac and cheese. Killer. Just killer. There was another half pan of REALLY good mac and cheese. And, Nancy and Roy left some of her German potato salad. That I don't share. Connie says he's not that fond of potatoes so I take that as a green light to hoard the potato salad all for myself. It's the best I've ever had. There was a big tub of a yummy bean, corn and red bell pepper salsa. I have NO clue who brought that. We also had some of Becky and Dave's loaded baked potato salad. Yummy! Brett and Gabe left a huge bowl of pimento cheese. Not only is this one of our favorites, but Brett kicks it up with jalapenos and other goodies. Connie said please, please, please get the recipe. I've already got it somewhere in my email. Thank goodness! We had part of a pan of mostly pulled pork with a few flecks of beef brisket mixed in. The meat was a bit crispy and dried out but I'm too Scotch to toss that. As Connie said, it was kind of reminiscent of burnt ends. We had a few ribs left. Last, but not least, there were a few dried out pieces of smoked chicken. So, an overload of protein and carbs. What to do?
Lunch Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was ribs and baked beans. Normally after two times I'm done. Not quite sure I'm done after three even though we're out of beans... Yes, I'll share the recipe as soon as I get it. This will go to family dinners and be devoured!
Monday night was pulled pork and pimento cheese sliders. On the side we had carbs, carbs and carbs. And, boy oh boy was it all good!
Tuesday night some of the pulled pork got mixed into some of the mac and cheese along with some pimento cheese and milk. The whole shebang was topped with toasted panko crumbs and baked. The only thing missing was some red peppers. Either roasted red bell or peppadews or another red pepper would've added a bit more pizazz.
Wednesday night was hot smoked chicken and pulled pork salad. Topped with shredded cheddar and crumbled bagel chips that Brett had brought for the pimento cheese. We paired that with a cherry cherry tomato salsa. Yes, there are two cherries in that description. I'll share those recipes in another post...
Sweet Sensation Rub
1/4 c ground allspice
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c onion powder
2 T salt
2 t ground nutmeg
2 t ground cinnamon
2 t dried thyme

JEFFERSON COUNTY — A 33-year-old Mt. Vernon man wanted on a no bond warrant for failing to appear last week for sentencing in Jefferson County court was captured Thursday morning by Mt. Vernon police.
Rodney E. Moore was reportedly observed in the area of 1612 South 12th Street.
A Jefferson County jury found Moore guilty in May on charges of Possession of a Firearm by Felon and Possession of a Defaced Firearm. He had represented himself since shortly after his arrest.
He was scheduled for sentencing August 3, but failed to appear. Moore was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison. Due to his failure to appear for the sentencing hearing, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
After Moore's sighting, the Mt Vernon Police Department Narcotics Detectives began conducting surveillance in the area and confirmed Moore's location.
On Thursday morning police officers from the Mt Vernon Police Department and deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department responded to assist the narcotics detectives. Moore was taken into custody without incident.
Moore was transported to the Jefferson County Jail where he remains without bond.

We recently purchased a spec house from Ken Palmer of Spectrum Builders. Ken builds a quality home at an affordable price. We also contracted with him to build our pool house and oversee the installation of the pool. Ken was able to stay on budget and find additional ways to save us money during the construction process. If any problems arose Ken was always available to make sure necessary subcontractors were called to correct it. Ken maintained excellent work ethics and always kept calm and collected demeanor about him. This can be difficult at times working with anxious new homeowners. We love our new home. Thanks Ken.
-Vickie and John
Spectrum Builders and Ken Palmer are the consummate professionals. Having worked in the professional services and consulting industries for nearly 30 years, it is rare to find an organization that practices its craft in such a highly competent manner. Moreover, having built several custom homes, the experience with Spectrum is by far the best my family and I have experienced. Almost anyone can hire a competent builder. Spectrum however couples building with innovation and attention to detail. Ken, particularly, is a highly effective communicator and visionary; he stays abreast of all the latest techniques, industry trends, and interior design concepts. His commitment to quality and his personal attention to the homeowner are unparalleled in this industry. Retaining Spectrum Builders and Ken Palmer is sure to exceed your expectations. I highly recommend Spectrum Builders and Ken Palmer, whether you are building a weekend cottage or the home of your dreams.
-Jeff & Sylvia Anderson
Ken Palmer and Spectrum Builders are topnotch. Our project was on hold. Having had to terminate our first builder for fraud and negligence, we researched and interviewed for several months to find someone ethical and trustworthy that we felt comfortable with to finish our home on Lake Keowee. We were introduced to Ken through our cabinet craftsman. Our project was about 80% complete at the time, or so we thought.
Ken worked diligently to finish the project uncovering numerous errors and encountering difficulties unforeseen at the outset. He took this all in stride and completed the project. The electrical problems, water lines, gas leaks, improper staining and sealing and missing materials made Ken's job a challenge which he met head on. His professional and courteous attitude, expert knowledge, and patience in handling my project were commensurate with someone who cares deeply about the job they are asked to do.
Again, I want to express our satisfaction with the job that Ken Palmer and Spectrum Builders have done in the completion of our project.
-Stephen E. Clark CFP
I was first introduced to Spectrum Builders when I visited one of their open houses. I was very impressed with the craftsmanship I saw and decided to give them a call. From there, I met the builder Ken Palmer. Ken discuss what our needs where and then proceeded to led my wife and I through the entire process of building our own house. In just a short time we were breaking ground. Ken explained every step of the process, which gave us the peace of mind that most people building houses do not seem to have. The subcontractors Ken used were very knowledgably and easy to deal with as well. Our new neighbors commented to us almost on a daily basis how quickly and efficiently they worked. There was progress everyday and our house went up quickly. Also, Ken's creativeness, foresight and knowledge of little details created a stress-free experience. Before we knew it, our house was completed. My family has been very satisfied with our new house and I would recommend Ken Palmer of Spectrum Builders to anyone thinking about building a home.
-Brian & Jennifer Smith
Dear Ken,
Let me start by saying we love our house! From the start it was a pleasure working with you and the designer, you really sought to understand our concepts, style and preferences and helped to improve and insure the design was on target. As you know our priorities were quality and cost. My personal friend who is a Florence, SC home builder with 30 years of experience remarked on the quality of the construction. We also were pleased the cost came in below the estimate. We also found your change order costs to be fair and transparent (some at no cost) unlike some builders who use this as an opportunity to increase their profits rather than satisfy the customer.
Working with you has been a great experience as you are professional and customer oriented. We truly believe you take as much pride in our home as we do, deservedly so. We grew to have complete trust in you as someone who is honest, has good judgment and has our collective interests in mind. This is why we choose you to do our landscaping without bidding it out in our normal fashion.
We would highly recommend you to anyone considering building a new residence or remodeling one. You will be the first one we go to if we have any future needs.
-Don and Barbara Herriott | Seneca, SC
Looking for a reliable company to complete a project at your home? I would recommend Spectrum Builders. Having two additions added to my home I found the work completed not only professionally done but at a reasonable price compared to several other contractor available for my projects.
-RCH Pickens, SC
Dear Ken,
Just a quick note to thank you and your company for the work you did on my Mother's house. We approached you with a unique and time sensitive situation. You promised that you could get the work done by the deadline and do it for less money than any other contractor. Well, you promised AND delivered on your word. The work was done quickly, it cost us half of any other quote that we had gotten, and it was a quality job that easily passed the home inspection. Thank you so much and I will not hesitate to recommend you and your company, Spectrum Builders, to others.
-Susan Moser

Crew is sick! Over the past week I'd say an easy 50% of Crew has been puking and….well you know. The other 50% should get it this week or next. So I thought it might be helpful to worship God in our sickness. I'd say ISPY, but I don't like that word. But I loved the blog post by P Stan.
Here are 10 ways that I thought more of God after having the disease:
1. Holiness is desired more because I hated, more acutely, the effects of sin in my body.
2. Humility was demonstrated since I prayed on my knees for the first time in a long time.
3. The cross of Christ was appreciated when I compared my pain with His.
4. Marital intimacy deepened when I thanked God yet again for a great wife who took care of me.
5. My role as father was rebuked as I discovered I was not spending enough quality time with my kids.
6. My own mortality surfaced as I reflected on the fact that one of these days I will die…I thought it was last week.
7. My hope in Christ's return was truly as it should be when I reflected on the fact that one of these days I will be resurrected and never be sick again!
8. God's sovereignty and grace was evident in the fact that I got sick on Friday night and not on Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday night.
9. God's omnipotence is more beautiful when I think that he never pukes, never sleeps, and never needs gatorade.
10. God's goodness is appreciated in the other 364 days of the year that I'm not puking. The question is not why would a good God let this happen to me, but why would a just God not do this to me every day. (See #3)
So, when you're done going through this, post some of the things you learned about God.

Mason School team headed to National Deloitte Tax Case Challenge
WILLIAMSBURG, VA — A team from William & Mary is heading to the National Deloitte Tax Case Challenge competition, to be held from Nov. 18 to 20 at the Deloitte educational facility located near Dallas.
For the competition, student teams must complete a complex theoretical case study that requires them to analyze information, identify data issues and consider alternative tax treatments for a fictitious client situation — all in just five hours. Teams prepare a written solution to their cases and submit them to a panel of judges for evaluation. And for the first time, the competition also included an oral presentation by the team to a fictitious board of directors.
For this year, Deloitte has changed the format of the Tax Challenge, and the teams which competed were truly in a regional competition against rival schools in close proximity. The country was divided into nine regions with the first place recipient from each region advancing to the National Deloitte Tax Case Challenge competition.
The team representing the College in the national challenge is known as Team W, and it consists of the following students: William Amante, Cara Ferraro, Sarah Parsons, Maria Pawlosky and Samantha Phillips.
A second team, which performed well but did not place, was made up of the following students: Eric Albrecht, Carol Curley, Ryan Fowler, Jake Marshall and Sara-Jane Whitcher.
"In my opinion, the students' success at regionals once again demonstrates the talent and dedication of William & Mary students," said Mason School John S. Quinn Professor of Accounting Jim Smith. This is not the first time Smith has been involved with the program, as he coached teams to 12 first place wins in past competitions.
About the Deloitte Foundation
The Deloitte Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that supports teaching, research, and curriculum innovation in accounting, business, and related fields within the U.S. The Foundation, founded in 1928, supports an array of national programs, which are relevant to a variety of professional services, and which benefit middle/high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty.

Friday Freebie (A bit late)
What a week! I have a class that keeps me on my toes this year, and they did just that this week. My own children included. My six year old broke a window yesterday while at the sitters by throwing a plastic horseshoe, the boy has an arm on him. He has been grounded from playing outside for a week (which is actually a punishment to me) and has to pay for the window, which means I will be paying for the window. On the way home from the sitters he asked for Halloween and Christmas decorations. I reminded him that he just broke a window and there is no money for Halloween or Christmas decorations. So, since I am in need of some Freebies due to a broken window I thought I would share my Free Christmas Coupon book with you just incase you too have a broken window to pay for this holiday season.
