A Collection Of Short Stories: Vol. 1 (2012)
"A Collection Of Short Stories: Vol. 1″ is the first from Dave's raw, unaccompanied, instrumental acoustic series. Dave says, "I wanted the listener to feel as if I was playing the guitar for them; that they were right there in the room with me." That's exactly the vibe of this record. The movement on the strings, the breathing, the attack of the fingers and pick. The wood of the guitar is speaking and it's all captured in a beautiful, natural form.

OnRevolute (2010)
"OnRevolute" (2010, Revolute Records, LLC) is Dave Weiner's second studio recording. It features 11 tracks, 76 minutes of today's most cutting edge, progressive and dynamic guitar playing. Dave's songwriting style is very focused on creating just that, a song, not a backing track with guitar wankery all over it. The songs are aimed at musicians and non-musicians alike containing memorable verses, choruses, strong melodies, ear-catching hooks and clever ideas that will make players say "I wish I thought of that!"

Shove the Sun Aside (2004)
At his shows, you can sometimes hear fans chanting his name, "Weiner, Weiner, Weiner." If you didn't know any better, you'd think it's an insult; it's not. For guitarist Dave Weiner, it's the sweetest music to his ears. After touring around the world as a supporting guitarist for Steve Vai's band, Weiner has built up a faithful following that knows him by name. And for many young guitarists, that would be plenty. But to Dave, he wanted more. And he had a creed to live by.
It sounds so simple: a young guitarist studying music in LA answers a vague-sounding ad about office work. Suddenly, he's working for the manager of one of his musical heroes. And that hero somehow winds up hearing the young guitarist's self-produced demo and invites the young man to join his band and tour the world. But because this young guitarist is Dave Weiner, there's more to the story. In short, there's a dynamic solo album, SHOVE THE SUN ASIDE, and it's the pure product of determination, abiding love, and enormous talent.
He knew the music was in him. But instead of waiting for the music world to invite him into the perfect situation, he created it himself. Over the course of two-and-a-half years, Dave Weiner spent his downtime from touring writing and honing an album's worth of songs, and learning everything there is to know about recording, producing, and engineering an album himself. It's all part of the way Weiner sees life and its challenges. It's what SHOVE THE SUN ASIDE is all about. Says Weiner, "If I want something, I do whatever it takes to get it. If something has to be done, I do whatever it takes to accomplish it. I try to live by this creed in every facet of my life."
Still, these days, nearly anybody can record his own music. Creating something original and enduring is yet another matter. And that's where Weiner's approach to songwriting comes in. With a melodic style all his own, he creates a series of "sonic pictures" throughout, subtly shifting instrumentation and textures. The soaring opening track, "Andonova," provides an aerial overview of landscapes to come, lush and full of promise, and it bursts dramatically into the driving and kinetic "Long Run," a piece that darts in and out in between movements more like a symphony than a rock song. Notes float on the air, often spare and deliberate, sometimes striking in a burst of light.
Despite his status as a newly anointed guitar god, Weiner's approach to guitar playing always honors taste and melody above flash and thrash. In short, he's more concerned with constructing a solid, original song, than with seeing how many notes he can shove into it. That's why tunes like "Long Run" and the epic "The Ghost of Denmark St." find their musical marks and don't let go. Each song leads the listener along gorgeous musical landscapes, with the notes of the guitar confidently leading the way. Still other tunes, like the blissful "Monument Shine," take a melodic hook and build it to a fevered pitch.
Weiner didn't go it entirely alone on this outing. With virtuoso performances from bassists Philip Bynoe and Graeme Rappaport, and drummers Virgil Donati and Steve Wilson, SHOVE THE SUN ASIDE offers some brilliant trio work that defies its home studio roots. Still, it's Weiner's guiding hand throughout that brings it all to someplace new, someplace beyond the conventional.
It's a tall order: creating music that transcends the line between the inspirational and the technical, and writing, performing, engineering and producing it all yourself, all this while working alongside one of the greatest living guitarists. But then, it's all very much in keeping with Dave Weiner's creed of doing the impossible. It's like "Shoving the Sun Aside."

Michael's on Simcoe
Online Reservations
Michael's is terrific. You should give it a try. We liked: - The steak cooked rare was the best my friend had had outside of France. That is saying something coming from a a foodie. - The homemade pasta - tagliolini in cream with zucchini that had been nearly crisped was delicious. - Service was attentive but not overbearing. Toronto needs more service like that. t
Overall a good experience at Michaels and I am looking forward to going back again. My meal was fantastic but, unfortunately, my wifes had some issues with it. Manager dealt with it and they were overly generous in their compensation for the meal. Well handled.
I had the short rib poutine as an appetizer and it was fantastic, the portion was large I could barely eat my main course after. The staff was very nice and accommodating.
First time at Michael's on Simcoe. Food, atmosphere and service amazing. Would highlly recommend it and will return.
Picked Michaels for location. I was going to RTH for symphony that evening. It was an absolute delight. Food very good, service totally flexible as my sister was held up in traffic. I would definitely go back plus recommend it to others. Thanks so much!
Great menu. Sophisticated comfort food - a great alternative to the "hip foodie" restaurants that at times go a little overboard on the experimental. Very classy and modern decor makes for a cool spot.
This restaurant was recommended by a good friend of ours. Although, the wait was over an hour, we enjoyed cocktails by the vibrant bar area, with great music. Once seated, the waiter was extremely professional. Our food was spectacular! If you are looking for a great steak, this is the place to check out. After finishing up, we were pleased to be introduced to one of the owners, who joined us in a complimentary shot for our wait time. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!
This was the second time for me....and it was just as great as the first time. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. Helpful, but not intrusive. Wine suggestion was perfect. Food was spectacular.
My 3 best friends and I were at michaela to celebrate a bday...love love loved it! Best halibut ever! Gin, vodka and wine! The service impeccable and saying hello to the owner was the icing on the cake:) cozy abiance....must go o restauraunt ...
This was our first visit to Michael's and will not be our last. The Seared Yellowfin Tuna was done to perfection but the Foie Gras was not done just right. When we mentioned this to the waiter, the chef sent out a portion that was just the way it should be. The waiter was great, attentive but did not rush us, answered every question we had on the food, wine and was knowledgeable on everything on the menu. We did find it a big loud, but the group behind us was having a good time, which added to the excitment of evening.
We had a large group for a birthday celebration. Our waiter took very good care of us. The steaks and the lobster ravioli were great. I have to say that my favourite was the octopus salad - olives, capers and nice big chunks of octopus - so delicious! All the guests reaved about the place. Pricey but great for a special occasion. Became a little too noisy as the evening wore on.
Michael's on Simcoe was a very good experience in all aspects.
The waiter was very diligent - never an empty water glass, always checking on satisfaction. Actually replaced a main course which was not to our taste with another main course at no charge. Very aware of time left to attend show presentation on King Street
I had the porterhouse which is unusual to find these days. Even better, it was cooked perfectly - medium rare. The tuna appetizer was even more enjoyable.
My wife and I recently dined at Michael's On Simcoe and were pleased in every regard. The lobster bisque and the Caesar salads were exquisite and the yellow fin tuna perfectly prepared. Michael's surely employs a chef that is in the ranks of Toronto's foremost cooks. Kelly is an attentive waiter whose timing and anticipation of events is rarely encountered. Michael, the owner, introduced himself and it became apparent that the balance and clarity in him translate well into the harmony found in his restaurant. Well done Michael. We're glad we came to dine for the first time and look forward to happy returns.
This was our 2nd time @ Michael's and the food, especially the steak and sides are great. I was surprised it wasn't busier on a Saturday night. Would recommend for meat lover and the prices are decent as well.
Came into Michael's On Simcoe with a good friend of mine and we both had a fantastic experience. Not only was the food excellent but the service was impeccable. We sat on the the lounge side closer to the bar and even though they do not yet offer a cocktail menu our server verbalized some new seasonal cocktails they were introducing and I was very pleased with everything I tried. I will definitely be dining at Michael's again soon, highly recommended!
Went back this time around with 3 business colleagues. Trevor was our server again and he us simply one of the best in the city. His only two directives were feed us and make Meat medium rare. That was it. We weren't disappointed. Top Notch.
I've been to this great restaurant several times with in the last month. Each time I visit I am greeted by a wonderfully friendly staff. The most recent visit my friend and I decided we would have our lunch at the bar. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and offered us a large variety of different drinks she thought we would enjoy. It was difficult to choose off of the menu because everything sounded so delicious. I finally decided on a salmon dish. The food came out quickly and was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. All in all this place exceeded my expectations.
Michael's on Simcoe is a cool restaurant. The food is outstanding and the menu is varied. We went for date nite on a Thursday nite and we were seated beside a group pf approx 30 suits. They arrived approx half way thru our meal and proceeded to take over. We should have moved, but I did not want to disrupt our meal. I think this was bad luck, but be aware. Lastly, the desserts are a disappointment, esp when the waiter suggested we do a tasting menu. Three full sized desserts arrived on one plate - all under par. Way too much dessert for two people. The service start to finish was excellent.
Dined with my husband and son. The service was excellent--courteous and prompt. My husband said his steak was good as well as the pepperonata and he enjoyed his tiramisu. My son said his caesar and seafood bisque were ok--same for his ice cream sandwich dessert. I had the halibut which was beautifully presented, however the fish was overcooked and the dish overall a bit dry and lacking flavour. Dined early before a hockey game so it was very quiet in the restaurant. Loved the decor--nicely lit and cool, contemporary design. Valet parking and shuttle (in Mercedes SUV) to the ACC was an excellent touch. Walking back might not be as enjoyable in the cold weather, however. Would definitely give it another try.
Last night while staying in T.O. for the Eagles concert we made late afternoon reserv. at Michael's close to our hotel. Kind Michelle at reception offered Valet service. Dinner AND a ride ~ fantastic ! Not only valet TO the ACC BUT as it was raining they picked us up at our hotel in a black Mercedes SUV . My husband ran late but Sebastian , our driver, waited until my husband arrived . Service was unparalleled ~ came through a private entry, sat at a magnificent table, drank an outstanding bottle of wine . Stuffed zucchini blossoms ~~ and a delicious octopus salad with chick peas, capers and greens. Then a succulent steak for my husband and lobster ravioli for me ! The food was delicious and service perfect and time observant. Thanks !
Very good food and good drinks. Clearly steaks are the specialty, but my friend and I had fish and pasta and were very satisfied. They were very slow bringing our cheque but otherwise service was good.
My wife and I booked this last minute, the food was good and our server was very energetic, it was delightful
Used to be Monsoon. Well done renovation. Black Cherry drink was fantastic (very expensive though). Steak (fillet) was incredible, rivals the top steak restaurants in TO easily. Pasta delicious. Overall excellent food, comfortable hip atmosphere and great waitstaff. Only drawback is the noise level. Sometimes I couldn't hear the people across from me.
Wow.. I usually don't write reviews but my recent experience at Micheals was so great I felt the need to share. We were running late for our reservation, when I called to let them know, they thanked me for calling to let them know and assured it wasn't an issue. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The food was perfect. I would highly recommend the Burrata appetizer and the black cod I had as my main was cooked perfectly, the cod melted in your mouth. Micheal (the owner) came over to thank us for coming and check how everything was and brought us complimentary dessert and after dinner drinks. Micheals definitely gets 5 stars from me.
Went to dinner with friends to celebrate a birthday. Had called in advance to request a special desert or piece of Cake for the person celebrating in our party. They told me no problem asked how to spell her name said they would prepare a sample desert platter. When it was time for coffee and desert the other members in out party ordered something off the menu, and I was anticipating them bringing the feature guest a special desert as requested. Instead they platter two of the deserts ordered and presented it to our guest. And then brought us large dinner plates to share. I thought that was unprofessional and not very nice. The food however and ambience of the restaurant was excellent I would recommend it and definitely go back.
Great atmosphere, a great wait staff, and really good food as well. We went before a show and the service was quick and efficient without being hurried. Our waiter was outstanding : attentive and prompt without being intrusive. Went with just two of us this time, but would return with a group any time.
We recently celebrated a birthday at Michael's on Simcoe and everything was perfect right from the moment we walked through the door! The food was fabulous and the spacious booth made the dining experience all the more comfortable and cozy. The staff tended to our every need (even those we hadn't anticipated). The special touch to the birthday dessert was beautiful. We will be back!

Arthritis pain medications: Do they raise blood pressure?
I take acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) every day to control joint pain from osteoarthritis. Recently, I heard that acetaminophen may increase my risk of high blood pressure. Is this true? If so, which arthritis pain medications are safe for my heart?
from April Chang-Miller, M.D.
It is true, though there's more to learn about how much additional risk you take on when you use acetaminophen regularly. For years, heart and arthritis specialists thought that acetaminophen was relatively safe for your heart, but recent studies have found that the drug may increase your risk of heart problems. The risk appears to be most significant if you already have high blood pressure or other risk factors for heart disease, but more studies are needed before we can be sure.
Other over-the-counter (OTC) arthritis medications — specifically, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others) — also are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. More is known about how — and to what degree — these drugs affect your heart, blood vessels and blood pressure. You need to be especially careful about using these drugs if you've had a heart attack or are at risk of heart attack, as they increase your risk and interfere with the preventive effects of aspirin.
NSAIDs also increase the risk of bleeding. This is a particular concern for people who have heart disease and are already taking aspirin and other medications that increase bleeding risk, such as clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin). In addition, because NSAIDs cause fluid retention, people with heart failure should avoid them.
Keep in mind that medication isn't the only treatment for arthritis pain. Mild to moderate arthritis pain may be relieved with a combination of self-care measures and lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, exercise, heat or cold therapy, and physical therapy. Many doctors recommend trying this combined approach before starting medication.
If you need medication to help manage your arthritis pain, use the lowest dose necessary for the shortest time possible. Also, discuss with your doctor which pain medication is most appropriate for your specific situation. All medications — prescription and nonprescription — have risks and potential side effects.
When taking OTC pain relievers for arthritis, keep these tips in mind:
- Get your blood pressure checked regularly.
- Avoid alcohol.
- Tell your doctor about any herbal supplements, nutritional supplements or other medications you are taking.

Kenwood Montessori School | Education
About Us
Kenwood Montessori located at 224 Woodbine Street, in Louisville, Kentucky, is a private, nondenominational, nonprofit organization. We follow the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori in supporting the development of each young child and his or her natural desire to learn. We are governed by a board of directors that includes parent representatives.
Our school is open to all and welcomes children of every race, creed, and nationality. A bi-lingual environment and instruction are provided in both classrooms by an English-speaking teacher and a Spanish-speaking teacher.
Additional Information
Our program is designed for two-to-six year olds. Each classroom environment is thoughtfully and carefully prepared so that children can share the space in a safe and productive way. The three-to-five year old room is always attended by four adults - two certified Montessori teachers, and two assistants. The two's have a lead teacher with an assistant, and no more than eight students.
Discipline at the school is supportive, not punitive. Besides safety concerns, our rules say only that we are to respect each other and respect the materials. Misbehavior is treated as a mistake, and children - supported by appropriate words and actions modeled by adults - are encouraged to try again.
The teacher's role in the classroom is to facilitate a child's development process. Observation notes are compiled and every child's development is assessed and discussed with parents at two conferences each year.
A bi-lingual environment and instruction are provided in both classrooms. We are excited to continue our collaboration with La Casita Center, a non-profit organization that provides educational and family services to Hispanic/Latino families. Both classrooms are staffed by an English-speaking teacher and a Spanish-speaking teacher.

Hotel Chatter releases 2013 Hotel WiFi Report – Free & Fee
Whether you travel for work or for fun, being able to hop on online at your hotel is almost second-nature. Hotel Chatter has released their 2013 report on Hotel WiFi. It lists the hotels that offer "free" and fee-based WiFi access. "Free" is in quotes because oftentimes the charge is embedded within the resort fee that many hotels charge these days. Granted I'm sure there are hotels who really do offer free WiFi for guests to use.
Hotel Chatter also posted a great infographic of the report, if that is more to your liking. Click on the image below to enlarge!

Keith Soster
Foodservice Director
University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, Mich.
Hometown: Mentor, Ohio
Education: Pursuing a degree in philosophy from Bowling Green State University
Married. Lives with wife, Sherri, and kids, Emily, 15, Anthony, 12, in Temperance, Mich.
Keith Soster has been off and running for over 25 years. Not only in the foodservice industry, where currently he is foodservice director for University Unions at the University of Michigan, but also in his spare time. Soster says running is his first love but four years ago he decided to try his hand at competing in triathlons, and he has completed one each year since. Soster speaks about how far his love of running has taken him.
"I'm up by 4:30 a.m. every morning and I train six days a week. I run three to four times per week and I alternate running with swimming, biking and lifting. I can train and still be at work by 7:30 a.m. I've always enjoyed running and I've done quite a few races and half marathons. My daughter is a swimmer, and I decided to start swimming as another way to stay in shape, especially in the winter when it can be difficult to get outside and run. I've done four triathlons, six half-marathons and too many 10ks and 5ks to count.
Before a triathlon, I will work up to what I'll be doing the day of the race. If it's a mile swim, then that is what I work up to. I was training for the Chicago Marathon last year, which was going to be my first full marathon, but I hurt my foot. I was out of the race but Chicago ended up stopping their race due to weather, so I'm kind of glad I didn't do all that training just to have the race canceled.
It's also important to get sleep and balance family life but I've included my daughter into my training. We did a relay triathlon last year with another friend and since Emily's best sport is swimming, we split it up. She did a mile swim, my friend did the 26-mile bike ride and I finished with a six mile run. We didn't win anything or even come close to the top, but it was the team spirit that made it fun.
My favorite part of a triathlon is the run. It's my best sport and it's at the end of the race, so I feel I can make up time that I might have lost during the other two events. I stay local and do the Sylvania (Ohio) triathlon each year. Between training and recovery, I need to be picky with the races I participate in because there are so many races out there. During the actual running season, there could be three or four different races in the area on any given weekend. So when you're spending money on registration, you really have to decide which races you want to do. Also, I have to plan ahead because when I do a half-marathon, I need to take a couple of weeks off to give my body a chance to chill out before I hit something like a triathlon. I would like to travel in the future, but it's important to remember that different locations have different climates and that affects your training.
My most challenging race was actually a half-marathon in Ann Arbor. It was the first Saturday in June and the temperature was in the 90s by the end of the race. The temperature, on top of the hilly course, took its toll on me. When you're a runner, after awhile, you get in a zone and the stress starts to go away. You can use running for a couple of different things. You can use it to focus on what you want to work on during that day or you can put on an iPod and blast away some stress, or you can run with a buddy and just enjoy the company. I use it for a lot of different things, not necessarily to keep in shape, but when you run a lot you can eat more and being in foodservice, I certainly enjoy food.
I make sure my training becomes a part of my daily routine before I go to work. I think being active helps me to stay at a fast pace at work. The exercise helps clear my mind, and I get a lot of thinking done when I'm training. It sort of helps me to have a decision thought out so I'm not running in circles—at least at work."

Took a vacation day today to get out an wet a line before heading to the west coast to have an early Turkey Day Celebration with my side of the family tomorrow.
Taking Chuck out today in hopes of a repeat of a few weeks ago. When I told him the conditions we would be facing he still wanted to go. Opted to leave at day break to make a safe exit through the SLI at slack tide.
I was only able to net 2 mullets and a snook this morning. No baits to be had at the pocket, I safely released the snook and continued searching for some more mullet with no luck
I didnt bring the Sabiki rods this morning as it was going to be a ballyhoo trolling day . When you face 4-6ft seas you cant go anywhere fast so we dropped in a couple of lures just past the channel marker and headed NE from the SLI.
Were in 30ft of water and at 6:30am the port line gets nailed. Chuck reels in a bluefish that hit this lure Go figure.
1 fish in the box and we continued NE Here was the sunrise
We made it out to 120ft and got into a mess of Bonita. We burned through a package of Ballyhoo in about an hour We were hoping some fins would move in the area but no luck.
Great day for sailing for sure with 15 knot winds
We decided to run out deeper and when we hit 145ft we hit a wall of 6ft plus seas The west wall of the Gulfstream was in close today.
We have been in 4-6ft seas all morning but there were a bit too close together for comfort so we turned around and headed to shallower waters.
We found a nice color change in 60ft. One side was dirty water with about 3-4ft visibility and the other was muddy zero vis water. We trolled north for about 45 minutes with no knock downs.
It was closing in on high tide at 11:00am and we needed to get through the inlet before the outgoing tide to play it safe. We pointed the bow towards the SLI and dropped in the hoos and trolled through the muddy zero vis water all the way to the inlet with (not surprising) zero knock downs.
We arrive to a flooded dock again and had to exit out of the west ramps. Did see some people pulling their boats out here but had all four truck tires in the water.
Notice the new back guards added to the cleaning tables. They also countersunk the screws on the top of the table so you wont hit them with your knives. You might have to down a pair of waders or swim trunks to get to the tables though :grin
No issues with the west ramps except you had to wade through ankle deep water.
Todays Tally
1 Bluefish
10+ Bonita To many to count
I had a blast today even in these conditions and hope we can do it again soon. :USA

Been lookin for a replacement Daily Driver /tow pig for my current 94 F150 2wd. I have been over working the crap out of the 150 for a few years now so I was tryin to find an older F250/350 since I really like old junk. Have had no luck and even started to concider buyin a Cummins Dodge. Well as my luck seems to go I just had to wait long enough for the right truck to find me.
A friends dad had this truck sitting in a yard full of cars/trucks and was looking to get rid of it. We actually worked out a trade for an old 86 Mustang I was tryin to sell so I got the truck for no cash outa pocket. Its a 1988 F250 factory 460/auto 2wd body with 68k on the clock. Its sitting on a 97 f250 4wd chassis minus its 5.8 drivetrain. If you look at my avitar you see the obvious reason why I had to have it. The body is 99.9% rust free.Only bad spots are where the paint was scratched. I plan to have some touch up work done and preserve the factory paint job. Im dropping in a 93 460,c6,205 and Im pulling the d60 out up front and reinstalling the factory d50. It has 3.55 gears so I might go a little larger than the factory size tire to drop highway RPM with the c6. And in an effort to try something different Im not goin to run the factory ecm. I plan to install a Megasquirt ecm and build my own engine harness. I think this 460 can be a little better on gas and in the power department running off a modern ECM that reads real time off a wide band o2 sensor.Im already running Megasquirt in my little turbo Ranger and plan to run one on my efi 5.0 Truggy Ranger once I put a Kenne Bell blower on that one. I already have a list going for LMC Truck for all new weather strip,rubber floor,seat covers,all new lights and misc stuff. I will put new windshield in and will built two new tube bumpers with a front winch mount. |

I learn more about Megasquirt everytime I plug it in so Im sure I can make it run better than the factory Ford speed density crap. My 88 2.3 turbo ranger is getting 25mpg running 25psi of boost everyday and I beat the hell out of it everytime I get behind the wheel.

Curious as to why you'd put the TTB D50 back in?? I'm not a huge fan of mine. It seems like more work than they're worth. Which also seems to be the common consensus in the OBS world.
July 10th, 2013, 08:22 AM | #6 |
screw it.
I was wondering the same thing with the puling the 60 out and then throwing the crappy TTB 50 under it. I know its not as strong but I would rather throw a HP44 swapped over to 8 lug in it over the TTB 50.
But I am liking the matching trucks. Plus for it to be that clean after sitting is shocking. |

The d60 wasnt part of the trade.The guy threw around wanting 1k cash on top of the deal for me to keep that axle. The d60 swap was never finished and all the factory TTB brackets are still on truck and the TTB is in the bed complete.Im not planning to do any wheeling with this truck so I see no need to have it jacked up in the air like it is and then try to finish the axle swap. It would be much easier to just put it back to stock for me.Plus it should ride and haul nice with the TTB back under it. I did get a set of f250 TTB diesel leafs for the front in the deal to better handle the big block since this chassis was just small block.
The d50 looks to have fresh rotors and brake parts as well.It makes it easy on me that its already out so I can throw each half on the bench to go through them and do u-joints,bearings and bushings.I need to find lock outs to replace this Auto 4x4 shit hubs it has tho.I dont even understand how those things work! |

Was able to start getting some things done this weekend. Got the bed cleaned out and pulled shitty liner out. Pulled bed off to make working on stuff easier. Going to do a roll on bed liner up over the rails. Still in shock how clean the metal is.
It just kills me that the 97 chassis is so rusty. So far Im lookin at replacing the shackles and frame brackets,brake lines and hose,shocks and Im going to pull hitch off to replace old hardware with new grade 8 stuff. Plan to pin hammer the hole chassis then coat with something,not sure what yet tho. |

Got my motor home now and started to check it out. Its a 89 7.5 that factory rated at 230hp @3600 and 390ft @ 2000. Was Ford serious about those numbers??
Anyway motor looks to be pretty clean for not knowing the mileage on it. And here is the factory upper intake I plan to replace with one of my own. Will be making a sheetmetal plenum with a single blade throttle body thats at least 75mm. |

Avoid this place like the plague. When we arrived the room wasn't ready. When we finally got in the room was tiny and cramped and dirty and the so called double bed was so small even my feet hung off the end, let alone those of my 6'2" husband.

Higher we've also got a stronger dollar our next guest thinks the Fed more difficult position when it comes to whether or not policy responses need it joining -- is Kevin crimes -- Well -- actor Kevin -- to see you once again.
Good dear Larry so -- the Fed looking at all this I think it's interesting that the markets are holding up relatively.
Well despite the fact the last -- was rather lackluster -- -- get a firm commitment from Bernanke that he was fired up the printing presses again.
Right at right and I think that that makes sense I know that most of the data on the global economy has been -- -- -- led lower by Europe -- manufacturing so on one hand.
You can look at the -- -- -- growth around the world and and conclude that something easy done in terms of stimulus but if you go back and you look at Bernanke's first FOMC.
Minutes -- when he became chairman of the Federal Reserve.
He listed five things that need to be looked at in terms of what market is saying right that monetary policy.
And those include tapping the stock prices the dollar.
What's happening with the spreads in the bond market what's happening with the breakeven rate of inflation all of those things are speaking towards.
-- -- not cutting rates or not doing more.
-- whereas in the last few times we did quantitative easing all of those things were falling precipitously.
And word encouraging an opposition situation the background is totally -- -- was the last time.
That -- yes not and that easy for Bernanke to pull the trigger he left the yes and those are those aren't my eight.
Measures I picked out those were actually things that Bernanke himself.
Thought were important to.
It would be important to look at in terms of gauging what markets are -- are saying about my -- -- growing chorus of investors and the investment community overall around the world expecting this September -- Yeah -- well that's true and I I think that if not most of that's coming from the observations.
About the fundamental conditions of the economy.
Manufacturing -- been being weak globally.
There's a -- Low level of demand coming particularly out of Europe United States is doing reasonably okay in terms of final demand.
But these very slow levels of demand coming out here is that are impacting production out of let's say southeast Asia so all around the world we've got weakness.
But on the whole I'm a little bit unsure how more quantitative easing actually is that help resolved in -- baton and use that up.
And parallel politics actually because as you know the president touting that bail out the auto industry is being so successful in the Republicans are piling on we're gonna talk about this more in our our.
Think I'm not just bail out all of these industries.
Our economy forget the markets -- so would addicted we talk about the -- time right to stimulus but.
It isn't it telling that the markets are really quite resilient despite -- this is kinda getting back to my first question to you.
We should just rip the band -- off at this point this to stop all of the stimulus to see what happens -- your markets going.
Both an awfully big band aid because when you think about the numbers that that's actually quite staggering if you look at the amount of spending.
Federal state local spending -- a percentage of the economy were approaching about 50%.
It was only -- -- three debt generations ago where that number was closer to 10%.
So if you draw a line through that.
That's really it's really just a simple matter of matter how large the government has become relative to the whole thing and as you pointed out -- your previous segment regarding coal.
The regulation that -- -- burdens -- -- relating to regulation.
Have grown at an equal equally rapid pace so ultimately ripping the band -- off would probably be the best thing in order to let markets function.
But it's a very very big band -- And I think that there's -- and it is no one's real sure how if you rip the band -- off it what what that would mean at least for the near term that's -- heck of a balance sheet.
Right incidents that thank you Kevin great to see you at the weekend.

Scented candles, a hot tub and breathtaking views of the northern lights -- it's not a honeymoon suite, but a unique floating hotel in the Arctic.
Introducing Vulkana, a 1950s fishing trawler converted into a luxury spa moored in northern Norway.
The 23 meter vessel offers safaris along the dramatic Arctic coastline and boasts a wood-fire sauna, saltwater hot tub and seven-meter diving board for the more adventurous.
When not marveling at the snow-capped views from the comfort of a steaming spa, sweethearts can take part in winter activities, inclduing reindeer-sledding and skiing.
"There's something spiritual about the boat itself," co-owner Erlend Larsson said. "It's had a long life, and many different owners, and all of them have said how safe and calm everybody feels onboard."
Painting the Turkish Riviera
Roman general Mark Antony was supposedly so taken with the stunning south coast of Turkey -- known as the "Turkish Riveria" -- he gave it to Egyptian Queen Cleopatra as a wedding gift.
Boasting dramatic cliffs perched over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, it's easy to see why.
Hundreds of years later, creative couples can also capture the scenes that so besotted Anthony -- in an island-hopping painting course.
Setting sail from the small fishing town of Kas in south west Turkey, the tour winds past sun drenched islands before arriving at the ancient sunken city of Kekova.
There, artistic lovebirds can sketch the 2nd Century ruins from the comfort of their wooden sailboat.
Tropical underwater photography
It's the enduring problem of holidayers: the photos never quite live up to the reality. And if you're going to take your beloved on an expensive tropical getaway, you may as well capture it properly.
Thailand island Koh Lanta, on the south west coast, offers vibrant coral reefs, thriving marine life and sparkling clear waters.
And perhaps the best way to capture this spectacular underwater world is with a deep sea photography or video course.
Divers are quipped with specialist underwater cameras and taught everything from spotting unusual aquatic animals to creating a dramatic composition.

Investigators say a fire that knocked a San Antonio television station off the air during its morning newscast does not appear to be suspicious.
Authorities are trying to determine what sparked the fire around 5 a.m. Tuesday at WOAI-TV. Nobody was hurt.
General manager John Seabers says the building was evacuated and the fire was contained to second-floor offices. Seabers says the NBC affiliate was expected to return to the air later Tuesday.
San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove had no immediate damage estimate but says the building suffered smoke and water damage. He says the investigation continues but the fire does not appear to be suspicious in nature.

DEAR BENNY: My husband and I signed a contract in November and put $1,000 down. The real estate agent put financing as "n/a" (not applicable) because we were preapproved by our bank. He sent us to a bank and the loan was approved, with a great interest rate and no points. Then problems started.

DEAR BENNY: My husband and I recently filed for bankruptcy after our home was foreclosed. My mother is willing to purchase a home in her name (as an investment property) and rent it back to us, as long as we can come up with the down payment for her purchase. My in-laws have agreed to provide the down payment. The terms of the investment loan do not allow the down payment to come from a third party, so the money needs to be "gifted" to my mother.
