Want source of water pump bearings 1948-56
Thinking of doing at least 2-3 water pump rebuilds and machining a holding fixture and some of the replaceable parts but need to find the sealed bearing supply. I have been told that new water pumps and spa pumps use similar. Has someone here found a source ? Wonder where rebuilders today, like Kacinish (sp), found them. Evidently same bearing used on 8 cyl as well as 6 (Stepdown). How about seals ? I am just going to rebuild them for myself and see if they work - don't know if I will sell any. I think Dale Cooper sells them. Gert Kristiansen P.S. still have a few of the oil pump alignment tools left to sell.
I'll look up what pump seal I used for mine and get you the number.
Okay, if I rember right... the seal is a standard #200 or #9281K62 from McMaster-Carr. The seal face on your pump will likely need to be refinished and polished unless you figure a way to use the ceramic seat in the kit.Six in a row makes it GO! -
The bearing and shaft used in the step down 6 and hash 6 water pumps is a standard item used by many car manufacturers over the years, any reasonable size bearing shop should have them. Even though its a standard it's a funny mix of imperial and metric sizes, 5/8" shaft x 30mm bearing OD from memory. The shaft will be overlong and will need to be trimmed to suit, and again from memory there is a slight difference in shaft lengths between the step down and hash varieties.
I do have a write up on fitting a modern pool seal to the hudson pump but I'm away from home until mid July, I'lll put it up when I get back.
I've never looked inside a step down 8 pump, I don't know if these comments are applicable to those. -
Bob Ward - your info on a seal for the water pump would be appreciated - and any other advice to be had from the Hudson community at large, Gert.
The hard part is refacing (machined flat and polished smooth) the seat on the pump body if its badly pitted or crowned, other wise the seal drops right into the spot where the old one was, replacing all of the old seal.Six in a row makes it GO!
To machine the pitted surface get or make a disc with a 220 emery paper glued to the bottom (see photo). Put the disc in the drill press and make sure the disc is perfectly square with the surface to be polished.If the surface is pitted you may have to do it a couple times to remove the pit.Once the pit is removed go to a finner emery paper and final polishing with 500 grit. You will be amazed the surface will be just like a mirror.
I have done this numerous time with good results.
When placing the seal be sure to put anti freeze on the polished surface and on the seal surface before assembly.Water Pump Polisher.jpg3008 x 2000 - 987K -
Sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Curious why you put antifreeze on the seal surface? I would have used soluble oil. We dont use antifreeze here in South Australia. Regards, Barry
The reason for using antifreeze is that it is the fluid used in cooling systems in Canada ,but you can use soluble oil, the most important thing is to get a little lubricant between the seal and the sealing surface so that it doe not start up dry.
Remember Murphy is lurking at every new start up!!!
The water pump bearing I use is NSK # 885586 .You should be able to get or order it at any bearing place or machine shop.
Both ends of the shaft are long and have to be cut to size. Make sure the shaft ends are chamfered or tapered both ends for about 1/8 in to facilitate pressing on the impeller and flange. -
Thanks, Barry

Well, this weekend I did the annual pilgramage to a wet and muddy field on the outskirts of Leeds for 3 days of gorging on bands. The review shall be along shortly, but as a kind of stopgap, here are my highlights and lowlights of the weekend.
- Organisation - The disappearance of Carling as the main sponsor this year was most welcome. Mainly because it meant that the almost oppressive air of corporate sponsorship, although still there, was greatly reduced, and also because in the absence of specially erected Carling bars everywhere, the stages were better spaced out. This led to less crowding, and a far nicer atmosphere than in years gone by. Kudos to you, Mean Fiddler and Festival Republic
- Seasick Steve - A more unlikely festival icon you'd be likely to meet, but this 50something gnarled old bluesman stole the weekend. Whether it be showing off his many customised instruments, telling heart-rending stories about his dead dog or even getting a girl young enough to be his grand-daughter up on stage to serenade, he was utterly spell-binding
- Glasvegas - Every year there's a career-defining performance at Leeds/Reading. This was Glasvegas' year as the chorus to Daddy's Home was yelled by all and sundry for ages after they'd departed the stage
- The Cribs - As if Ryan Jarman crowd-surfing wasn't enough, there was also the delightfully droll introduction of "while Metallica are over there singing about the horned one, this is a song about Wakefield", and the highlight of the entire audience singing I'm A Realist while the sound packed up. And did we mention Johnny Marr was also on stage? Johnny Bloody Marr no less.
- Florence And The Machine - Kooky. Bonkers. And a future star.
- Metallica - Even if the music wasn't to your taste, you could only admire the pyrotechnics, fireworks and flamethrowing that the metal legends brought with them
- The main stage sound - Honestly, if you book Rage Against The Machine, please don't make the sound more suited to an unplugged evening with Belle & Sebastian. For those unfortunates at the back, the increasingly riled chant of "turn it up" went unheeded
- Conor Oberst - Whether it was the half-full tent, or a setlist consisting entirely of tracks from an album that had only just been released, the atmosphere was distinctly flat for the Bright Eyes man
- Prices - £7 for fish & chips. £4.50 for a tiny burger. £2 for a bottle of water. It's a old, old complaint, but if someone opened up a discount food caravan on site they'd do a roaring trade.
- The Killers - As great as that 1st album was, they aren't headliner material just yet. When you pad your set out with tracks from a B-side and rarities collection, it's not a great sign. And dodgy jackets as well, boys.
As I say, full review of all 3 days to follow very shortly. But if you were there, what did you think. Leave your comments below.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that is caused by gastric acid flowing from the stomach into the esophagus.
Gastroesophageal refers to the stomach and esophagus, and reflux means to flow back or return. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is the return of acidic stomach juices, or food and fluids, back up into the esophagus.
The following is the most common symptom of GERD. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Heartburn, also called acid indigestion, is the most common symptom of GERD. Heartburn is described as a burning chest pain that begins behind the breastbone and moves upward to the neck and throat. It can last as long as two hours and is often worse after eating. Lying down or bending over can also result in heartburn.
Most children younger than 12 years of age, and some adults, diagnosed with GERD will experience a dry cough, asthma symptoms, or trouble swallowing, instead of heartburn. Heartburn pain is less likely to be associated with physical activity.
The symptoms of GERD may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Specific treatment for GERD will be determined by your physician based on:

I know I handed Noble one of the Nathaniel Whitlock songs a while back, but I only got one test for it. Here's a post from TAG's private forums:
That's the only note I ever got for the song, I tried re-upping it and got nothing. And recently between Creators being down and such, they've been primarily focused on their own songs (understandably so).Guitar
27.4-101.4 - Remove every non-sustained notes on #.4, these gaps are shorter than 1/2 long
I am sending more songs into internal testing (not Creators testing) as we speak, so hopefully they can at least help me fix up some charts before having Addy (new owner of TAG) upload them.
I appreciate the wanting to motivate, but between Creators constantly going down and other authors not doing much anymore, it's becoming increasingly difficult to do anything on my end. Even if I were to by some miracle get all the songs put in review by the time Creators is back up again, I cannot guarantee they'd get any reviews. That's just how it works.

I've had a PlayStation 2 for three years now but only got around to buying an RGB cable today. OH MY GOD! It's amazing! My games look so sharp, the way they are meant to be. Up untill now I was too ashamed to play games in 60Hz, now I can play them with pride. Why on Earth didn't Sony launch PlayStation 2 with an RGB cable!
So they can get more money of you when you buy a new cable......
My TV is so old it goes funny when I try to use 60hz
Thats the funny thing about it though.........
My TV is so old it dosn't even have a scart slot.......
(man........I really should get a new TV)
How much is a new RGB cable then i might get one are they just like a scart so is fits in the same place as a scart.
You can pick them up for a pretty low price, and they just go into exactly the same connector as your regular yellow, red and white wires.
That's what I was sort of trying to say, but not very well.
The only visual difference between the regular SCART and the RGB SCART is the colours. With the regular one (which comes with your PS2) there are Red, Yellow and White cables. With the RGB, you get Red, Green and Blue.
where can i get one of those i have been looking for awhile..not very good but i do look. plus 1 stupid question where does the RGB plug into i mean its red yellow and white does blue go in yellow? and green in white? :?:
Red goes in Red, and then Blue and Green go into the others in that order. Or you could get one of the cables where you don't have to bother. Like the one above for instance.....
i like that no thought required with plugging in. and where could i get one?
Probably somewhere like GAME, DIxons, Currys, Argos, Comet.....
You get the idea.
i dunno any of those stores..maybe some i would know...in america
alright thanks ill add that to my list of things to get
1. Router
2. 30' ethernet cable
4. new controller
5. RBG cable!
Yea I seem to have an endless list of things to get at the moment. The PS2 Network Adaptor is incompatible with my USB Modem, so I have to by a USB Router and an NI (Network Interface) Card.
Argh! :x
yea that sucks! and not to mention for me then membership fee for FFXI and other things that are tied to other things on the list and my friend in Canada (who recently moved there) wants me to get Battlefield: Veitnam so i have to get that too. im not rmebering everything tight now but this list is crazy and not to mention things for my soon to be truck and my truck
Actually you only need a Network Card... WinXP can share its connection because it have a proxy embedded ... just link your ps2 and your PC and go to Network Propierties and go to the last tab...Originally Posted by Matt
What Scart TVs you recommend us??
Yes, but I have a USB modem. The cable that comes with the Network Adapter doesn't go into my modem. There's a link on the PlayStation UK site that explains the problems with USB modems.

text: By Erin Sisk M.S., R.D., C.N.S.D. "Start running," "Lose 10 pounds," "Go to the gym more," "Stop eating out during the week." We've all made New Year's resolutions with such good intentions and high hopes. But we've all broken them, too. So your sneakers sit in your closet gathering dust again. Those 10 pounds you wanted to lose after the holidays are still there. So what happened? Somehow you lost the motivation to see your resolutions through. How do you keep that motivation high and make changes that develop into habits? Here are some tips. Set realistic goals Instead of the goal "I will lose 10 pounds," set a goal that involves action or a process. For example "I will go to the gym three times a week," or "I will bring my lunch to work three times a week." A goal you can measure is more likely to bring about change and help you reach your overall objective of weight loss or completing a marathon. Plan for success Don't focus on past failures or past resolutions that you didn't keep. Instead reflect on the reasons why you were unsuccessful. Then make a new plan that ensures success. How? Focus on things that are within your control. and pick only one or two resolutions/goals to focus on at time. Having too many can be daunting and lead to failure. One or two concise goals, however, can help you focus and be successful. Track your progress Use online tools or keep a journal to track your exercise, food intake and weight loss progress daily and as a reminder of what your goals and accomplishments are. Review this journal on a weekly basis to make sure you are still on the right track. If you see yourself slipping back into old habits in one particular area readjust and try again. Get support Don't keep your resolutions or goals a secret. Telling a friend or family member can keep you motivated. It can also keep you accountable for your actions and on track toward your goals. You may also find another person who has the same goals and is also looking for support. The benefit? You are more likely to do something, such as go to the gym, if you're counting on each other. Be mindful Keep reminders around your home, office or car about what your goals are. When tempted to skip the gym or eat something unplanned, stop, breath, and ask yourself if this will help you achieve your goal. More often than not the answer will be "no." Be proud of yourself for sticking with your goal instead of feeling guilty, which can lead to further slips. Cope with stress Stress can hinder anyone from meeting a goal or resolution. Letting stress of any kind take precedent over your health can only create more stress. So find healthy ways to cope. For example, eating when you're stressed won't help you reach your weight-loss goals. Find a more constructive activity, such as taking a walk, reading, or calling a friend, to cope. First, make a list of what stresses you out and the ways you have dealt with them in the past. Then write down new ways you plan to cope that will help you achieve your goal instead of sabotage it. Instead of snacking at night because you're anxious about an important presentation you're giving in the morning, go to the gym and work off that nervousness! Reward yourself Celebrate small milestones to stay motivated. Don't reward yourself with food, as you might have in the past. Instead, find things that will encourage your new behaviors. For example, treat yourself to a new gym bag after going to the gym for one month consistently. Or order a subscription to a health and fitness magazine for sticking to your new diet. Finally, it all comes down to remaining motivated. Find joy and a sense of accomplishment in completing one small act that helps you meet your goal. For example completing 30 minutes of exercise or creating a low-calorie and tasty dinner should be a successful and joyful act, not a daunting task. And when it seems too overwhelming, take a moment to write down all the positive outcomes reaching your goal would have. This can only help to motivate you to make that New Year's resolution an attainable goal and a lasting lifestyle change!

This is an excellent skin! It hits the feeling I get with Clearity, then expands with vibrant colors and the smooth wrap list. It works great.
The one thing I can say about this skin that is negative is the Home menu. Watching the white text slide past the shaded tab looks a little strange. All in all, this skin is my new default, well until I find something else to experiment with. |

very attractive, clean skin. i like it almost as much as i like clearity.
one small thing, though: where is the system info button? i cannot find it to check my RAM situation, and some of my videos won't play running slate. switching back to clearity allows them to play again. i'm running 1080i, for what it's worth (can't do 720p on my tv), and incidentally the skin looks pretty good for not having been optimized for anything other than standard 4:3. |

One World Trade Center, which is now up to 104 floors, rises above the lower Manhattan skyline, Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 in New York. Tuesday will mark the eleventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. / AP Photo/Mark Lennihan
Tallahassee residents and students will gather at the Florida State University College of Law Rotunda on Tuesday morning to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with a number of observances and service projects.
The ceremony will be one of many happening across the U.S. as the nation mourns what may be its most devastating moment.
But while Americans are being called to remembrance on a national scale, many Florida State students are reminded of more personal memories of whats come to be known as 9/11. FSU sophomore Riley Baldree, for example, was living in Washington D.C.adjacent to Arlington, Va.at the time of the attacks. Although he was a child when they occurred, he remembered the day as being unusual.
Looking back, there were definitely signs that things were off that day, Baldree said. Teachers were crying and consoling one another and a lot of my classmates were being checked out from school early. It wasnt long before we were finally told what had happened and I remember thinking how bizarre it was. Kids of our generation grew-up quickly that day.
Baldrees also recalled that his father was working at the Pentagon, one of the structures hit in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.
I really had no idea of exactly what was happening that day until I got home and saw both my parents, Baldree said. I didnt really consider it at the time, but because he had been working at the Pentagon that day, there was a chance I could have lost my dad and knowing that really makes remembering 9/11 hit home.
Shannon Rogers, a freshman at Florida State, said she remembers the day as relatively normal.
I got up and went to school like any other day, said Rogers. We were kind of kept in the dark about it all. I guess a lot of the teachers didnt want to scare us or felt like it wasnt their place to tell us what had happened.
Despite the severity of the Sept. 11 attacks, Rogers said her understanding of their impact has become clearer over time.
When I was young, it didnt really stand out to me, it was more of a matter of fact, Rogers said. But now that Im older, Im realizing how serious it was and how our entire sense of security as a nation was called into question.
FSU Professor of Nursing and certified traumatologist Sally Karioth has counseled survivors and family members of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.
She said while the events of 9/11 are tragic, they served to bring us closer together as a nation.
After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, everyone really seemed to put party and ideological affiliations behind them, Karioth said. We worked together to console our fellow citizens and to rebuild what we had lost. 11 years later, we seem to have forgotten that feeling and now political opponents arent just competitors, but enemies. The anniversary of 9/11 will hopefully serve to remind us, even if its just for a day, that we share a common goal as a country.
While the nation prepares for Tuesday, Karioth said it is important to turn to those affected by the Sept. 11 attacks for the grieving process.
Its important to remember these anniversaries because they remind us how far weve come, but also how far we have to go, said Karioth. We need to remember most of all those people that were affected by the attacks and we need to walk with them during their time of mourning and let me tell us what they need to recover.

LTTE blocks evacuation of civilians from uncleared area in the Mullaitivu district |
Friday, 13 March 2009 | |
The LTTE poses the most serious obstacle preventing the evacuation of civilians, who are confined to the safe zone in the narrow coastal strip in the Mullaitivu district. Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama, referring to the dialogue with India and the US in this regard, explained that the Government of Sri Lanka is at present unable to avail itself of the offers of assistance to evacuate the civilians, made by these countries due to the LTTE's fierce resistance in releasing the people, since the civilians have been forcibly held against their will as human shields to protect key LTTE terrorist leaders and their families. The Foreign Minister explained the Government position to the British Shadow Defence Secretary, Dr. Liam Fox who called on him yesterday (12 March 2009) in Colombo. Dr. Fox is currently on a brief visit to Sri Lanka, during which he is scheduled to hold talks with key Government leaders including President Mahinda Rajapaksa, as well as meet leaders of political parties. Responding to a query by the British Shadow Defence Secretary on the status of the implementation of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, the Foreign Minister pointed out that this issue is before the Supreme Court, where additional submissions have to be filed by May 2009. Dr. Fox opined that reaching cross party agreement in democracy could be extremely difficult and therefore the Sri Lanka Government should endeavour to explore other ways and means of overcoming this impasse. He observed that with the complete clearing of the North from the clutches of the terrorists emerging, a political framework for that region would need to be put in place within the next three months. Minister Bogollagama explained that the envisaged political process is moving positively leading to the implementation of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. The Minister stated that both Local Government and Provincial Council elections would be held in the North as soon as the terrorists have been fully cleared from that region. Referring to reports of an impending humanitarian disaster in the North, Dr. Fox was given a presentation with the aid of a map on the conduct of the ongoing military operations, the movement of civilians out of the conflict area, the LTTE's withdrawal from their earlier positions using civilians as human shields and the designation of safe zones. He was also briefed on the steps taken by the Government to move the civilians from the conflict zone and ensure an uninterrupted supply of essential goods and services, as well as humanitarian assistance to the people in this area. Foreign Minister Bogollagama and the British Shadow Defence Secretary, Dr. Liam Fox further discussed a range of issues pertaining to bilateral relations between the UK and Sri Lanka. They also shared their views on developments in the region. Ministry of Foreign Affairs Colombo 13 March 2009 |

SAVE Polyurethane Crown Molding Experiences?
We're looking to add ornate crown molding to our kitchen, but it's difficult to find real wood or MDF molding in very wide, ornate styles. We're going for an "over the top" look similar to this:
Is this available in MDF anywhere? Do people even really use anything but this polyurethane for such large, detailed pieces?
Thanks in advance.
Something that big has to be built up in layers, like this: http://www.finehomebuilding.com/CMS/uploadedImages/Images/Homebuilding/Articles/021182066_sprd.jpg
MDF tends to not hold a crisp edge: http://www.archmolding.net/FAQ.html
Plastic doesn't either, but without that desirable old layers-of-paint look. It just looks like plastic.
I have only worked with the Urethane moulding several times but I did find it was easy to work with and once painted looks very nice.
It would probably need to be built in layers. Have you checked "Dykes"?
re-think putting synthetic materials in your home, especially the kitchen.
The Wall Street Journal just did a story about a couple where the wife was recovering from cancer, and they built a home from the ground up trying to avoid as many synythetic materials as possible.
The Journal noted that it was often difficult and expensive to find natural substitutes, but the woman has remained cancer free the whole time she has lived in the house.
On a separate note, I have a dear friend, a 45-year-old, who was recently diagnosed with rather serious thyroid disease. Her doctor said they are seeing more of it and they believe it is being triggered by "environmental exposures," but exactly what, or how much, they do not know.
He advised her to get rid of the polyurethane mattress pad that she had on her bed. Which she did.
Most of these chemicals have never been tested for harmful effects to humans. Many mindful foodies are discontinuing the use of plastics in food preparation since the discovery that BpH in plastic water bottles was causing human disease.
No one has ever tested Saran Wrap or plastic produce bags from the market or plastic Tupperware for leaking toxins into human systems. But you know once those tests start to get done, they are going to find bad things.
I would stay away from installing a big hunk of polyurethane in my kitchen, even on the ceiling.
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection estimates that air pollution in the city contributes to 6% of deaths every year. Wouldn't it make more sense to recommend people live in hermetically sealed bubbles than think twice about hanging crown molding in their kitchen?

CherryPy implements a simple caching system as a pluggable Tool. This tool tries to be an (in-process) HTTP/1.1-compliant cache. It's not quite there yet, but it's probably good enough for most sites.
In general, GET responses are cached (along with selecting headers) and, if another request arrives for the same resource, the caching Tool will return 304 Not Modified if possible, or serve the cached response otherwise. It also sets request.cached to True if serving a cached representation, and sets request.cacheable to False (so it doesn't get cached again).
If POST, PUT, or DELETE requests are made for a cached resource, they invalidate (delete) any cached response.
Configuration file example:
tools.caching.on = True
tools.caching.delay = 3600
You may use a class other than the default MemoryCache by supplying the config entry cache_class; supply the full dotted name of the replacement class as the config value. It must implement the basic methods get, put, delete, and clear.
You may set any attribute, including overriding methods, on the cache instance by providing them in config. The above sets the delay attribute, for example.
Base class for Cache implementations.
A storage system for cached items which reduces stampede collisions.
Return the cached value for the given key, or None.
If timeout is not None, and the value is already being calculated by another thread, wait until the given timeout has elapsed. If the value is available before the timeout expires, it is returned. If not, None is returned, and a sentinel placed in the cache to signal other threads to wait.
If timeout is None, no waiting is performed nor sentinels used.
An in-memory cache for varying response content.
Each key in self.store is a URI, and each value is an AntiStampedeCache. The response for any given URI may vary based on the values of "selecting request headers"; that is, those named in the Vary response header. We assume the list of header names to be constant for each URI throughout the lifetime of the application, and store that list in self.store[uri].selecting_headers.
The items contained in self.store[uri] have keys which are tuples of request header values (in the same order as the names in its selecting_headers), and values which are the actual responses.
Continuously examine cached objects, expiring stale ones.
This function is designed to be run in its own daemon thread, referenced at self.expiration_thread.
Try to obtain cached output. If fresh enough, raise HTTPError(304).
Tool for influencing cache mechanisms using the 'Expires' header.
Must be either an int or a datetime.timedelta, and indicates the number of seconds between response.time and when the response should expire. The 'Expires' header will be set to response.time + secs. If secs is zero, the 'Expires' header is set one year in the past, and the following "cache prevention" headers are also set:
- Pragma: no-cache
- Cache-Control': no-cache, must-revalidate
If False, the following headers are checked:
- Etag
- Last-Modified
- Age
- Expires
If any are already present, none of the above response headers are set.

Food Wine and Co.
Online Reservations
Went with my son to have dinner. He ordered the burger and I the scallops entree. His burger was huge and delicious. Good thing it was because my scallop dish was the size of an appetizer and didn't come with any sides for a whopping $24. He had to share some of his burger because I was still hungry and I don't consider myself a big eater.
Varied menu with imaginative takes on classics, excellent craft beer list [probably wine, too -- I didn't study it,] elegant. high-ceilinged decor with well-spaced tables, reasonable pricing. Best, the staff were gracious with my somewhat cranky guest. My tuna nicoise was perfectly rare and used purple potatoes! In the huge range of Bethesda choices, put this one high on your list.
I've heard nothing but rave reviews, via word-of-mouth, of this restaurant and decided to try it out. While I was very tempted to get the lamb burger because one of my co-workers said it was the best thing she's had I refrained due to the fact that 3 people at the table ordered it (and all of them loved it!). I opted for the steak salad (MR) with a side of gruyere mac 'n cheese - fantastic!! The steak was cooked perfectly and the salad was the perfect size (especially for lunch), which allowed me to really enjoy the mac 'n cheese - definitely in my top 3 of best mac 'n cheese. I made sure everyone at the table tried the mac 'n cheese and they loved it! Also, tried the truffle fries - they were quite tasty. We'll definitely be back!
I've eaten there a few times and the food never disappoints whether a burger, pizza, or full meal. Service is quite good. It can be quite loud and the bar is always hoppin'.
We had been to Food and Wine a few months ago and found the food was good and the staff seemed pretty responsive. This time we sat in a dining room separated from the bar. The waiter was very relaxed and very attuned to our situation (we were going to a movie afterwards but had allowed enough time to enjoy the food. While our previous experience was that food was very good, this time we were impressed with the presentation as well. The presentation looked like what I expected from a more upscale restaurant. Overall my wife and I had a great time and will definitely come back for more.
Consistently amazing! The Octopus was incredibly favorable and "melt-in-your-mouth" tender. Definitely a must-have! This was followed by a perfectly grilled Flat Steak bursting with flavor so intense my palate swooned in ecstasy. The meal was paired (by Brian) with a bottle of Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Enter AYOR as the Wizards in the Kitchen transport you into a wonderfully mystical world resplendent in gastronomic delights where you will be greeted by the Brian, the Wine Wizard! I eagerly look forward to returning!
First time here, met friends for my birthday. Easy to find from the metro, food was fabulous. Loved the octopus. Staff was good and friendly, small issue would be more attentiveness to drinks. I would and will go back.
I always enjoy this restaurant and mostly go for lunch (business). The food is excellently prepared but my only "criticism" is that this place could improve upon its salads. This time, I ordered the steak salad which was excellent but the greens/salad part of it was lacking. Would love for the restaurant to have a truly large, complex salad with lots of great veggies. I would even sacrifice some of the protein...
I like this place. It's not upscale but I enjoy good food at reasonable prices. It's great for non-pretentious business meetings (I am an academic and on a budget). The salmon burger is great.
The food was terrific and the wine was outstanding. Would definitely go here again.
We enjoyed everything about our dinner- food, atmosphere, wait staff. The food was a bit too salty but still very good!
We brought 4 friends for their first time visit. We praised your Mussel Dishes to the sky. Unfortunately, the mussels at this visit were very small, and most of them had fallen out of the shell creating nearly a bowl of empty shells. The broth, however was delicious as always. The arctic char was OUTSTANDING. I tried to order the Shrimp and mussel iron pot, but when requested by one of my guests and me you had already run out of t his dish.
Had a mid-week lunch with the husband at Food & Wine Co. The restaurant wasn't that busy, so we snagged a lovely table on their outdoor terrace. My husband ordered the lamb sandwich with fries and I had the special fried flounder sandwich with the restaurant's famous rosemary Parmesan chips. Overall, the food was very good. It tasted fresh, cooked-to-order and the service was lovely. Although the flounder sandwich could have packed more flavor, I'm glad I tried it. Also think the chips are better than their fries..... We'll return again.
I'd eaten at Food Wine and Co. a few times in the past and enjoyed it, but the last time I was there a few months ago, the food was pretty awful. I hadn't been back, but figured I'd give it another try and it was so much better. The food was good, the service was good and they've obviously made the right kind of improvements. Way to go!
I had roasted pumpkin soup that was delicious. I also had the brussels sprouts which were good but WAY too salty. They had pieces of bacon in them which may be the cause of all the saltiness (heaven forbid they added more) so I think the way to improve would be to just put a lot less bacon in there. Also, they were sitting in a pool of oil, which was also not so appealing. My husband had a burger that he felt was undercooked but I think he probably should have ordered it medium well if he didn't want any pink. Service was good, wasn't too loud to talk in the room we were in. I'd definitely go back.
My wife and I dined here on Friday night. We had a cozy litte table for two. The restaurant is simple but chic with walls lined with wine bottles. The restaurant has a stock of over 300 wines but I think the prices are a little high but the selection is great. The food was excellent and the quality superb. The service was great and very attentive. They also have a large bar and a oyster bar which would be great at happy hour. We will definitely go back.
We had a delicious dinner, including oysters, ceviche, fusilli with lamb, mussels with shrimp, and chocolate bread pudding. The service unfortunately fell short. We seemed to have 2 waiters who didn't coordinate with each other. Food was very slow to arrive, or didn't arrive at all until we called attention to it. The dessert took an hour and a half from the time I ordered it (had to be ordered at time of original menu choices because it took 1/2 hour to bake). Well, 90 minutes later, it finally arrived. When I asked the waiter why it took so long, he said the original bread pudding had exploded. Anyway, why wouldn't there be extras available for situations like this (or if one fell on the floor)!? The food would bring me back.
Not my first time here as the truffle burger is to die for. I keep hoping it will be quieter but alas, not to be. (Definition of insanity-doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome)- This was the first time for the rum cake,however, and it was phenomenal! Our table loved the parmesan chips but I thought they were a little soft and a little too salty. They are another version of their parmesan fries which are also a bit too salty. But the truffle burger is still the best burger I've ever had...incredibly flavorful, full of surprises and textures. This is a Bethesda hotspot ergo the noise. Maybe I'm just getting older....
First off I was 30 minutes late for my reservation due to the weather, and the hostess kindly worked with my friend to still get us a table upon my arrival - so nice as they were very busy and it was a Friday night! The food was amazing! We got the edamame to start w/sea salt and a savory sauce drizzled on it. I ordered the diver's scallop salad for my main course. The scallops were cooked to perfection - a must try for scallop lovers! I also ordered a glass of South Aftican Cabernet/Pinotage blend, a new blend for my wine-savvy taste buds and it did not disappoint! Distincfully layered but well rounded. To top it off the chef came out and made small talk with us for a good bit. What a wonderful way to end an amazing dinner!
The restaurant is convenient if you are seeing a movie nearby. The menu is great for light fare and more complicated options as well. The wine is good. The price is reasonable. Servers are a little too,quick to clear . A booth is best in order to hear above the noise level. A comfortable choice after a good movie.
creative, sophisticated menu with well prepared dishes. Very large wine list with a full range of options in price, including some nice foreign vintages at affordable levels. We had a great date night at this restaurant. It is a busy restaurant and not a quiet little spot, but that didn't impede a great conversation at our table. Will definitely recommend. We had octopus, tuna tartar, mussels and a fabulous fish special.
Brought out 8 and 10 yr olds along with their 78 yr old grandmother. Everyone found something on the menu - and mostly because the restaurant offered modified versions of certain menu items (like a plain cheese pizza or plain pasta). Do not bring kids who can's sit still and are unaccustomed to higher-end restaurants - but if you have kids that will enjoy a nice salad or fancy mac n Gruyere-cheese main, then by all means. Of particular note were the deserts. All too often higher-end restaurants fail in the desert department falling back on outsourcing or simple assembly items. Not at FW&C. The deserts rocked. I'd even go so far as to have a home-cooked meal and go out for desert at FW&C!
The food was absolutely delicious-the best I have tasted in DC. Good service and friendly staff
Perfect place for a date! My fiance and I had a great dinner at FW&Co the other night. We were excited to try some new items on the menu and were not disappointed. As always, the menu has something for everyone. I love the new tuna salad presentation! Our waiter was both professional and genuine, perfectly attentive, but unobtrusive. There are plenty of reasons why this restaurant continues to be my favorite restaurant in Bethesda!
Creative, interesting food - excellent service! FW&Co stands out in a highly competitive field. Keep it up !
Small plates are delish, and their beers are also good, quite a lot to choose from. Never leave dissatisfied with meal or drinks.
Nice ambience, good food, attentive wait staff, reasonable prices.
This is one of my more favorite spots in Bethesda after five visits. The food isn't heavy, a good variety and the menu is always evolving. I particularly like the pizza. The food is also reasonably priced to comparables in the neighborhood. A good selection of wines, but these are on the pricey side. On the down side, the waitery staff is the real weakness here. They can be forgetful and sometimes a little inattentive. The desserts are generally good, but their signature chocolate bread pudding can be too much chocolate. They could also use a few dessert wines/drinks on the menu. Overall I go there for the food - and it's good.
Food Wine and Co. is a Bethesda gem, in a place that has many fine restaurants. Great food, fantastic bar scene, friendly and knowledgeable wait staff, and an unusually broad selection of beers. And all of this comes with very reasonable prices.
With so many decent restaurants in Bethesda, it is easy to forget most;but, Food and Wine Co is memorable for its strong draught list, fun atmosphere, and appetizer quality.
My college roommate was visiting from Philadelphia and we always try a new restaurant when she's here. I had been to Food Wine Co. with colleagues for happy hour so decided to try it for dinner. We were very pleased. The food was great and the service attentive and very pleasant. We're planning to return often. And, although we didn't realize it, we ate at a place under the same management, Fish Taco, the night before. We loved the tacos, too!
loved the ambiance. perfect lighting. menu had familiar (safe) as well as creative options. a fellow diner said it was the best burger he ever had. we all enjoyed our choices. short walk from roundhouse theater.
On Wisconsin Avenue, it is a great location in downtown Bethesda. Validated parking in the garage adjacent to the restaurant makes it an easy choice. With menu choices for everyone and a great variety from the bar, this is one of our favorites!
Has been a local gem for a while. Only downside is the price of wine and drinks...house wine about $11, Gin Martini $11! Moderate pours but hefty markup. Even at busy times, though, the service is good.
Although we chose Food Wine & Co based on location; we were thrilled with the food, service and friendly atmosphere. One of group has difficulty walking;but his needs were easily accommodated & our request for a quieter section was honored. Our waiter was knowledgeable, answered our questions fully, took time to explain specials. The food options were varied a casual late night meal or special dinner occasion. The food was hot & well prepared. Make reservations if you are going at peak time. We will definitely add this restaurant to one of regulars.
The service was very good. Our glasses were never empty, plates were removed promptly and the waiter checked in fairly often. The food looked beautiful, but the taste didn't measure up to the presentation. I should emphasize that everything was fresh & tasty, but my entree was not particularly memorable.
Great food, service and atmosphere. A bit noisy but not to extreme. Recommend highly.
This was my first time at the restaurant and I was extremely satisified, which is very rare for me with respect to restaurants.
THis was my first time at Food Wine and Co, and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was outstanding, and after a slow start, so was the service. I would definitely dine here again, and next time, to try some of the wines. It is a very good environment for business lunches.
The food here is always delicious., and the service was very good My only complaint is that the noise level is very high in this restaurant, so it sometimes makes it difficult to hear.
My family + I had a lovely night last Friday celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday. She is notoriously fussy, so when I say she had a wonderful time + enjoyed the food :: high praise indeed. We started with cocktails that were truly impressive. I've enjoyed many cocktails that I can say were very good, but it's been a long time since I was surprised and impressed ~ particularly the martini with the blue cheese olive and the GreenGo #2, which is a tremendously flavorful gin concoction. The food was standard fare ~ pasta, steaks, burger ~ everything was delicious and prepared perfectly. The desserts were unique and delicious as well. It's not often that a large group can go out with no complaints from anyone in our family ~ well done!
The food was really good though the appetizers and sides were the true standouts. The fried artichoke was outstanding as were the pumpkin and the brussel sprout side dishes. The ahi tuna salad was good but overpriced for what it was.
This is a very energetic restaurant. The food was excellent, the service excellent, and the ambiance very energetic. Only issue is that we felt rushed. The restaurant was burtsting at the seams and the wait staff was doing its best at turning over the tables. We had to slow them down in order to enjoy our meal.
...... better. Things have improved so much here - the food, the service, the wine gasses and we will keep going back.
It was a great night with excellent food and wine, the services was very good
food and service was very good....main dining room very loud and hard to talk at dinner.
Great meal! Always enjoy chef Michael's menu choices. Great experience again!
Great menu, especially the appetizers. Good selection of wine by the glass and liked the cocktails too. Dishes made tasty with interesting herbs and spices. Courteous and friendly service.
To start out, we had a reservation but waited 20 minutes beyond our reservation time. Once we ordered our dinner, we had to remind our waiter three times that he had promised to bring bread to the table, and it took a very long time for a friend to get the beer he had ordered. The food was excellent, from the scrumptious salad to the delicious petit filet to the outstanding desserts. With all the restaurants in Bethesda, I would only recommend this one if you have the patience to suffer through the service.
Wonderful food, great service, and I love the beer list.

120 Damage every 4 seconds, and need to be next to the enemy, compared to
45 Damage every hit, from longer distance.
Lets say i do a combo without counting the ulti damage nor the auto-attack damage:
3rd skill maxed:
Hit, 2nd skill, hit, 1st skill, hit, ulti, hit.
75, 75, 140, 75, 75 = 440
and 1st skill maxed:
Hit, 2nd skill, hit, 1st skill, hit, ulti, hit
30, 30, 260, 30, 30 = 380
And also considering the fact, that you need to be right next to the enemy, or 1st skill won't deal any damage. And also, 3rd skill is used for harass on the lane, 1st skill doesn't suit this purpose. And, maxing 1st skill costs more mana.
Here is how we settle this. Lets a do a 1v1 Mid fight. Me on you on . We each start with the normal 600g and a flying courier. We play to the 15 min mark. And then checkout the result. That means Creep kills and denies. And ofc Hero kills. If you rape me, post the replay here. Use it as an example on how to beat melee heroes mid. If I win, you put up as a solid counter when played by a good player. If it ends up even, you still put up BH as a counter. Since the silence will be there all game.
Currently in the norwegian army, but getting a week off starting this monday. So I am good any day of that week. Except the weekend ofc, since I am norwegian I am obligated to drink at that time. Just send me a message and lets set it up
Should be like 10 min IMO, because the laning phase won't last 15 mins.
I can prove you that DR rapes BH mid, no problem.
But i never said that BH wouldn't be a counter to DR, but far from hardcounter, because bh is pretty useless without solo mid and DR rapes him mid.
EDIT: BH always is useless, but even more so without solomid.
Last edited by Jezu; 03-24-2011 at 10:47 AM.
i think the player skill between you two is to great to fairly judge, with no disrespect. Mid to late game bh can be a problem. if he rushes his silence then dr. could be easily target and taken out of team fights, but on the other hand i think bloodhunter is a worse carry pick up for the team and doesn't bring anything that great to the table.
I agree with you, BH "can't" out heal Dr. harrasment.
BH can out heal "most" hero because of the "Iron Shield". If he doesn't have one then he can't.
Dr. Damage is almost Magical and is not blocked by the shield.
Same as Pyro, he/she just rapes BH mid with their third skill.
Depends on the target's original MA (if they have vestments / headdress or not). You can check by going into practice mode and hovering on the target's armor icon.
This varies widely-- intelligent opponents I presume would acquire vestments/Shaman's to counter DR's massive magic****. Or Shrunken to avoid Magic Damage entirely. Am I wrong on this?
Would it not be wiser to opt for Sheepstick? Survivability, damage, stats and an amazing disable to pounce on the enemy even before he knows it.
The idea of DR is that when he jumps in, he disables the enemy hero before he uses the Shrunken Head. If he goes Sheepstick first, his ganking power isn't as good as it would be with Hellflower.
With Hellflower he can solokill anybody. With Sheepstick he does less damage, and therefore enemies can escape more easier.
Obviously there can be situations where you need Sheepstick early on, and im planning to add option Sheepstick OR Hellflower for mid game.
Shrunken solves your survivability problems, so you can get the Hellflower which provides no survivability like np.
Last edited by Jezu; 04-04-2011 at 03:30 AM.
If they have no +magic armor items, it is ~22%
Also, the reason why i keep Hellflower as a better option over Sheepstick, as the disable from Hellflower is better (hands down) Also, the AS and damage is very strong on DR, and it has easier buildup.
The (small) hp boost from Sheepstick shouldn't be that huge of a deal, as you will be having a Shrunken shortly anyways, and you can dodge (most) spells with your ulti.
But then, there are situations where you need every single HP you can get, and you cant dodge all spells with ulti.
Will be adding this when im back at home.
Last edited by Jezu; 04-04-2011 at 05:44 PM.
Ah, I'm sorry. The issue is not Sheepstick vs Hellflower, it's Sheep vs Harkon's. I agree hands down that Hellflower is the best first item for DR.
I agree completely. Usually, if the game lasts long enough, my route would be HF -> Shrunken -> Sheep. Harkon's is viable afterwards... but the game SHOULD be over by then. With Harkon's DR is overkill.
Edit: like your guide by the way, very clear cut and straightforward. This is pretty much all DR needs.
Last edited by Jezu; 04-09-2011 at 06:24 PM.
^ He can be, and I've stated that silences counter DR, not just the specific heroes i have listed. However, DR as a ganker also counters NH.
What does this still miss?

Characteristic of premiums is the presence of detailed playguides through each phase of the game. Try posting images of a gank procedure.

A temporary or small house attached on an already existing building is a growing trend among architects and is called Parasite architecture. Parasite Las Palmas in Rotterdam is probably the most famous one and is an manifest towards mainstream, an attached concept on an old industrial building. Several concepts like this are popping up, Rucksack house by the German designer Stefan Eberstadt, Loftcube by Werner Aisslinger, and we probably just have seen the start. Interested in a Loftcube? 90 000 €, 39 square meters and 3 days to assemble! Voilá!

Are you the Director or the Actor? | ||||
"In life, you are either moving in the direction you want to go or someone is moving you in a direction they want you to go." Who do you let make or influence your decisions? Really, who has access to that area of your life? Is it a spouse, a manager, a coach, or do you delegate all that important responsibility to the other agents in your office that spend more time making coffee than doing business? I don't want to be too harsh, but I can't express how important it is to protect your core vision and motivation. The "why" you do is far more important than any other factor. The "what" you do can be formulated, changed and is in constant flux. But "what" you do only make sense in the context of "why" you do. If you aren't designing your business with the end in mind, you'll end up with a job in real estate that you hate instead of a business that you love because it provides for you and protects your core values. |

Bright crimson in colour with classic Pinot Noir aromas of red/black cherry complemented with brooding earthy undertones. Hints of violets and lavender lift the rich black cherry spice palate which finished with fine velvety tannins.
Aromas of lifted strawberry and red cherry fruit with gamey notes, complimented with subtle vanillin oak. The palate is well structured and persistent with great depth of fruit and savouriness on the finish.
A pretty purplish crimson colour. The nose speaks of bright red fruits - raspberry and cherry, then violet florals, dried meadow herbs and hints of cherry pip, oak and botanical spices. The palate is attractively brambly with a core of red fruits, fresh acidity, fine, graphite-like tannins and a savoury edge which balances the fruit. This wine is approachable when young yet shows potential for further improvement with careful cellaring.
Concentrated and complex nose with lovely ripe, intense fruit of black cherry and plums. Fine French oak adds a toasty, smoky aroma. The palate is full, plush and concentrated with great poise and velvety tannins. It has a long, persistent finish.
Very complex in quite full-on style that splits the difference between, say, Mornington and Russian River Valley. Great sweetness. Spicy and flattering – quite long. 17/20 - Jancis Robinson MW

Information regarding President Barack Obama signing a supposedly secret order to provide American support to Syrian rebels was leaked to "enhance" Obama's reputation, according to Rep. Peter King, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, during an interview Sunday on Fox News Channel.
King is alleging the source of recent news reports on a plan that should have remained secret is the Obama White House.
"The administration's leaks must stop before they further endanger the lives of men and women sent into harm's way on our nation's behalf," stated Rep. King.
"To me, all the evidence points towards the White House, and that compromises us because there were two other major allies involved with us in that, and there are tremendous hard feelings and a sense of betrayal from them," King said on Fox News.
News reports appeared in newspapers and aired in broadcast news stories on Thursday and Friday saying the President gave the go-ahead to provide Syrian rebels with "non-lethal" aid.
For example, Reuters reported that a U.S.-supported "secret command center" against the Assad regime is located in Adana, Turkey. The story is proof that the Obama administration has a serious problem with keeping secrets secret, said King.
In response to these latest leaks, King immediately wrote a memorandum to Robert Mueller, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, requesting that the FBI special agents already investigating security leaks add these new reports to their probe.
"These reported disclosures represent additional disturbing and irresponsible leaks of potentially classified information from this Administration," King stated in his letter to Mueller. "Obviously, the ongoing investigations have failed to deter further leaks."
King stated on Fox News: "The only thing I can think of this is an attempt to rehabilitate the president going into an election year to show that he's a tough guy. The president deserves credit for killing Osama bin Laden, but at that time they went beyond anything that had to be disclosed. I think it's to enhance his reputation and it's done in an irresponsible way."
"This series of leaks -- going back to when the Navy SEALs killed the world's number one terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden -- is by far more serious than the media circus of the Valerie Plame-CIA incident that forced the Bush administration to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the so-called outing of a CIA officer," said former NYPD police detective and military intelligence officer Sid Franes.
"And instead of outrage in the White House over these security breaches, all we get is finger-pointing and accusations about an alleged Republican witch hunt," said Franes.
The Obama administration has been enduring repeated criticism over not aiding the rebels against the corrupt and oppressive Assad regime. "What better way to get positive press than to create a secret plan that shows action on the part of Obama, and then leak it to news reporters who, for the most part, want to see Obama re-elected in November," said political strategist Mike Baker.

PUPILS at a Chiltern Tutorial School have produced a video highlighting some of the difficulties they face.
The independent day school in Otterbourne caters for children with learning difficulties including Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Dyscalculia.
The release of the video coincides with Dyslexia Awareness Week which runs from October 14 to 20.
The children also took part in the annual awards organised by the British Dyslexia Association and 10-year-old Ellie Malcolm won the art competition for the primary category. Her work will now be part of a display in London, celebrating the achievements of dyslexic writers and artists.
On Wednesday, November 6, the school will work in association with the Hampshire Dyslexia Association to holding a twilight session for parents and teachers, called One in Ten. The evening aims to give an insight into how children can be supported both at home and in school.
The school is also due to hold an open afternoon today (Thursday October 17) from 2pm to 2.30pm.
