rich and_toni_dancing |
Some people just have Boca Grande in their blood. Their very names are synonymous with our island. So it is with Rich and Toni Caccavale.
As fate would have it, the two have had some major life changes lately that have taken them closer to the mainland than the island. Rich has recently retired from the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, where he was the marine patrol deputy in Boca Grande waters. He was also a Lee County deputy on the island for 24 years.
Toni recently closed her Boca Grande business, Island Nails.
But don't think they're sitting back and relaxing ... not by any stretch of the imagination.
Rich is now working at Marine Dynamics on Placida Road, selling something he knows a whole lot about ... boats. Toni is still doing nails on the island for clients in their homes, and is also working at All About You, a salon in Englewood. Ironically, that salon is operated by Carol Finley Babb, whose mother was Helen Finley. Helen was the owner of Helen's Collections, an alteration and children's clothing store on the island in the early 1980s that was located near where Palm on Park is now ... and where Toni's nail shop was located.
"What's funny is that we never knew the connection with Carol until recently," Toni said. "She had barbered Rich's hair for almost 20 years at the barber shop she also owns, called Babb's."
Rich and Toni met at a store called Herman's World of Sporting Goods in August, 1974. She was a cashier, fresh out of high school, and he was a young man who was waiting for his dream to become a New York City cop to come true.
While he was waiting, he found himself filling in for a vacationing manager of the hunting and fishing department of Herman's World of Sporting Goods at another location.
They met through Herman's, and they were married a year later, in September of 1975.
Just a few months later, Rich was hired by the New York City Police Department. He had his uniform, he was ready to enter the academy along with a few hundred other candidates. The fates entered once again, when Mayor Abraham Beame decided to freeze the city budget. Rich was told he might get a call back in two years.
"That was when we decided to move to Florida with my family," Toni said. "My parents owned a business on Long Island called Sundown Kennels. They bred, showed and trained Labrador retrievers, and decided to relocate to Southwest Florida and opened the Cape Pet Ranch in Cape Coral. We figured we had two years to kill, so we thought we'd give Florida a try."
Rich applied at Cape Coral Police, the Fort Myers Police Department and at the Lee County Sheriff's Department for a job. They all called him back within two days.
He chose Lee County. So when, two years later, New York City PD called him back, he graciously declined.
View More images >>"Just three years later, we were living in Boca Grande," Toni said. "We thought our world had been turned upside down and Rich's dreams were crushed forever when he had to return that NYC uniform. But, as they say, when you think things are falling apart, they are really falling into place."
The couple had two beautiful daughters, Gina and Theresa, while living in Florida. Toni's first job here was working for the city of Cape Coral in the building department as a clerk, which was where she met Braxton Bowen. He was a contractor in that area, but one day, left to go to Boca Grande. At that time, Toni wasn't even sure where the island was, and Rich wasn't working out here yet. He was with the Lee County Sheriff's Office working the north Fort Myers area.
So in 1981 Rich became a deputy in Boca Grande. Just a few weeks after the Caccavale's moved to the island, Toni ran into Braxton, just walking down the street.
"It shows that it's a small world," she laughed. "He became my landlord for 20 years!"
A few years later, Theresa started kindergarten and Toni decided to open a nail shop on the island.
Toni went to nail school in Port Charlotte, and in 1992 opened Island Nails in the space where Newlin's Mainely Gourmet is now. Braxton owns the building.
"At that time I was using the whole space," she said. "Over the years it evolved into the smaller space that I used on the side of the building."
In the meantime, Rich was busy being a deputy and learning the ins and outs of what constituted a "police emergency" in Boca Grande. For instance, one day a woman who was very irate called the local station complaining that someone stole the radio from her car. Rich responded to the call and checked inside her vehicle.
"The radio is right here, ma'am," he said.
"NO, it's NOT!" she said. "There's an empty hole there!"
He politely showed her inside the vehicle, where she had been looking at the open glove box. At her request, he then showed her how to turn the radio on.
Another time – one of Rich's favorite memories – Mr. Barndollar called in to report a crazy turkey running around in his front yard. When Rich arrived he really did find a turkey hysterically flapping around the yard. Upon further investigation it was determined that the turkey belonged to Scooter Darna. Scooter found his pet turkey choking on a piece of food, and had tried to save the turkey's live by giving it mouth-to-mouth rescusitation.
Back then, Whidden's Marina actually had two turkeys named after the local deputies, and they were also honored by having their favorite sandwiches named after them in island restaurants.
Rich also learned about tarpon fishing while he was here. He bought an old boat hull in Naples, and built it essentially from the ground up. When he was done, he called it the Boca Blue. It still motors around this area today, captained by Sandy Melvin.
He also helped to captain the Moonraker with the Knight brothers. Rich got his captain's license in 1984, and after that won the Ladies Day Tarpon Tournament two times.
To say he loves to fish is an understatement. And he is grateful to his mentor, Johns Knight, for allowing him use of that special boat and for teaching him so much.
"Our whole family loved that boat," Toni said. "The Knight family even allowed us to pretend it was ours! Theresa was on that boat since she was just a baby, and would fall asleep in her playpen to the sound of the engine."
The couple and their daughters lived in one of the deputy homes on Wheeler Road. They were there when Hurricane Charley hit, and found out just how close the Boca Grande community was during hard times.
"Our house had a lot of damage," Toni said. "And the new deputy coming in, Joe Caiazza, came to look at the house. I was mortified, because it was so damaged and filthy."
For 24 years it was their home, until a new sheriff came to town and decided that Rich Caccavale wasn't in his plans. So Rich retired from Lee County in 2005. He worked through three sheriffs. His last job with the sheriff's office was a peculiar one ... he brought salad dressing to one of our past presidents.
"They went on a detail to Punta Gorda airport, because the whole Bush family was leaving," Toni said. "One of the Bushes, either father or son, wanted a special type of salad dressing from the commissary there, so Rich brought it aboard the plane for him."
It was a sad day when they left the island. Because of the frenzy in Charley's aftermath, the family left after 24 years with barely a whisper. And in doing so they left a huge piece of their lives behind.
The family found out that so soon after Hurricane Charley, homes were hard to come by. They rented a house from J.T. and Kathleen Turner on Spyglass Alley, just off-island, for a time.
Toni still ran her shop on the island, and Rich sold boats for a time, but when the economy turned south boat sales slowed down.
Four years after he left the Lee County Sheriff's Office, he was approached by the Charlotte County sheriff and offered a job with the marine patrol division. He gladly recertified, and proceeded to spend several years with them, primarily patrolling the waters around Boca Grande and Little Gasparilla.
In April, Rich left the department and retired from law enforcement for good. But he's back to selling boats, Toni is back to doing nails, but she closed her island shop earlier this year. She had been thinking about it for several years, actually, but didn't have the heart to do it until this year.
"When she heard word I was thinking of closing, Carol invited me to join her at the salon on Dearborn," Toni said. "After a year of soul searching about whether or not to leave the island and what to do about Island Nails, I decided to take her up on her offer. So I relocated there and will be helping out during season, or as needed.
"How ironic that her mom was in the building I occupied on-island long before any of met, and how I would wind up in Carol's building on Dearborn where, by the way, Helen's antique Singer sewing machine is still going strong through the talent she passed on to her daughter Cathy. Helen's daughter Karen also works at the shop as a masseuse, too.
"After 20 years of running things alone, it's fun to have company now."
She does still have clients on the island and visits them in their homes, but that doesn't make her departure from her tiny island shop any easier. To leave the place where she watched her children grow, where she and Rich were so established within the community and so loved their friends ... it's easy to see that a large piece of their hearts still dwell on our little island.
"Boca Grande was part of us," Toni said. "We raised our kids there. Now we are where we are ... no regrets, just beautiful memories. There is life on the other side of the bridge, but sometimes hearts stay in Boca."

"dichtbij een grote mall en bij de rijksweg."Beoordeeld door een gast van Hotels.com op 4 sep, 2012
Mooie kamer, er was ook nog een bedbank (extra comfort om ff bij te komen) het was fijn dat er ook een magnetron en een koelkast op de kamer was. Daar hebben wij veel gebruik van gemaakt. Een slordigheidje was dat het ontbijt niet tijdig bijgevuld werd, de jus d'orange was zelfs op. . Daar moeten ze dan toch rekening mee houden. Verder was het heerlijk om een verse wafel te bakken. Zou er zo nog een keer naar toe gaan. Hotel is makkelijk te vinden, dichtbij een mooie Mall de rijksweg en een treintje (dit treintje gaat downtown)

Ongeveer 20 minuten ten noordwesten van Denver ligt Westminster, ooit bakermat van de grootste appel- en kersboomgaarden van het land. Tegenwoordig is het bekend om Waterworld, een van de grootste waterparken van Colorado. Het koele water is bijzonder uitnodigend na de Holy Cow Trail Stampede, een jaarlijks hardloopfestijn over 10 kilometer dat al 14 jaar wordt gehouden. De Westminster Mall biedt de gebruikelijke warenhuizen plus nog 140 andere winkels.

We were looking for a place to stay close to our family in Westminster, but with easy access to downtown for the Bronco's game.

The rooms were clean and spacious, the dual headed shower was fantastic.

We've stayed here in the past and liked it. Our visit over the weekend we weren't pleased with the cleanliness of the room. Grout in tub needs to be removed, fitted sheet was put on inside-out and not completely on the mattress and the robe laying on the bed had long black hair fibers on the belt.Geverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"The Long Walk"
Overall the Hotel was very inviting when we drove up. There were outside fireplaces at work and the lighting was nice. Comfort is everything when we are away from home. Checkin was easy. Then we had to unload. We choose to do it after we parked. There is a slight walk due to parking location. Then we got up to our room. Comfortable. We were tired from […] a long day of hiking the foothills around Colorado Springs, Went to pull back the sheets and found some black smudges on the inside sheet. The one which would possibly touch your face at some point in the night. Called the front desk and they suggested a room move. Not kewl. Our bags had exploded all over the room. Not moving. So, they sent up clean sheets. Which I changed myself. Felt the hotel could have been more gracious in offering us some form of compensation. Nothing. Best part is tha there are many more motels around that might just provide a little better customer service. Which means the next time we travel we will seek them out.

"Best hotel outside of downtown Denver!"
The Westin Hotel/ Starwood Group always holds a high standard and this hotel exceeded all of our expectations. Friendly and fast check in with the entire staff warmly greeting us and offering to help us at every opportunity. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the room was spacious, quiet, spotless and well appointed. The double headed shower and […] cozy robes were a much appreciated bonus. The beautiful lobby contains a Starbucks, a snack shop, a deli and lounge/restaurant. It was filled with cozy chairs, couches and an inviting fireplace. There were free newspapers every morning and anything else you might need available as well. Late check out was no problem! The hotel isn't downtown Denver! but if you're willing to make the drive an extra 20 minutes or so- you won't be disappointed. First class all of the way. We'll definitely be returning!

Great facility. HOTEL is extremely nice and the room was great for the money. Loved the Starbuck's Kiosk. Service was horrible. We arrived at 7pm and waited 20 minutes to check in.

"Not what I expect from a 4 star Westin"
Although obviously a busy weekend at the Westminster Westin, a 1-1/2 hour wait to get into a room that wasn't ready at check-in time is not acceptable or expected at a 4 star hotel. Many people had a check in delay of 30-120 minutes. Very disappointing and disruptive to plans.Geverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Great Hotel and Location"
We stayed at the Westin for 2 nights for a hockey tournament being held at the Ice Centre right next door. It was a quick walk through the courtyard and the landscaping and water feature were beautiful. Our room was furnished nice, was clean and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating and quick to respond with whatever we needed. The Valet staff […] was always great and very helpful. I wasn't very impressed with the food offered in the hotel's restaurant and the service that we experienced in the bar's seating area wasn't great, but the drink selection for beers, wine, etc. was very nice. They have a nice little gift shop as well as a Starbuck's in the lobby if that's your thing. Room service was quick and the breakfast was always good. We did not order any other meals, but I did notice that the room service menu was the same as the restaurant's menu downstairs.

I always enjoy staying at a Westin, and check out is usually at noon.

"Maybe it has just been busy?"
Well.... We traveled with a group of 5 of us with 4 separate rooms. All 4 rooms had some sort of stains on either the bed sheets, comforters, or pillow. Those who complained right away were brought up clean items and taken care of. I ripped off all the gross sheets and blankets and tried to get room service the next day and instead of getting new sheets/blankets […] put on the bed, they just remade it. I also had the pleasure of getting the room with water that wouldn't drain while you were taking a shower. They give you what looks like a refrigerator but turns out its pretty much a cooler that you have to get ice from the ice machine and keep it in the "refrigerator". To top that off the ice machine was broken on our floor so would have to go to a different floor to get some. We turned down room service all days but the first & last night, I don't know if we took the do not disturb sign off too late in the day but when we got back in later that night our room was just the way we left it. It's located in a pretty nice area, views are gorgeous, Bar Louie was my favorite place within walking distance and Kachina Southwestern Grill in the building was pretty good also. I'm sure had I went down to the front desk and asked for something to be done about these things they would have been. With all that being said, I could see staying there again, mainly because of location. Just make sure you check your bedding and don't hope for a refrigerator in your room!

text: Willis Haviland Carrier Born Nov 26 1876 - Died Oct 9 1950 Apparatus for Treating Air Air Conditioner Patent Number(s) 808,897 Inducted 1985 American engineer and inventor Willis Haviland Carrier developed the formulae and equipment that made air conditioning possible. The world's first spray type air conditioning equipment was Carrier's 'Apparatus for Treating Air,' which he correctly predicted would be used to enhance comfort as well as improve industrial processes and products. In 1911 Carrier disclosed his basic 'Rational Psychrometric Formulae' to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The formulae still stand as the basis for all fundamental calculations in the air conditioning industry. His development of the first safe, low pressure centrifugal refrigeration machine using nontoxic, nonflammable refrigerant marked the beginning of the era of comfort cooling. Invention Impact Carrier's early work in developing centrifugal refrigeration machines led to new safe refrigerants for which he also received several patents. By controlling humidity as well as temperature, he invented air conditioning as we know it today. Inventor Bio Born near Angola in western New York, Carrier attended Cornell University and graduated with an M.E. in 1901. Only one year later his first installation of scientific air conditioning was in operation, controlling both temperature and humidity in a Brooklyn printing plant. Carrier and several other engineers formed the Carrier Engineering Corporation in 1915 with capital of $35,000. |

308 head studs
Looking for the ARP part number for 1/2" head studs with a 2" thick head. Also who sells them and how much.
I was able to get them from hot rod shops but be sure & take a sample so you get the right threads.
The ARP application for big block Chevy (396-454) mains has been mentioned as applicable to Hudson, the threads are correct for head and block and the head thickness is ok, however, the leaving 2.5" clearance for the head prevents the lower threads form seating and you almost certainly get water seeping from the studs on a warm engine.
I suggest contacting Randy Maas @ 21st Century Hudson I know he sells ARP Studs for Clifford Head's so probably has them for stock head's as well.
ARP sells standard lengths of studs, no need to hunt for the right size from something else. Go to their website and you can download their catalog or request a print one.Six in a row makes it GO!
I looked at ARP on line prior to posting my question. They only show stud kits for specific engines and Hudson aint one of em. I saw no charts for part numbers based on length and diameter. I figure I need a 4" long stud X 1/2 with a six point nut.
I have misplaced my catalog, but could've swore they had studs, usually packs of 5.
Not packs... Individual at that size:
4 pack:
http://m.summitracing.com/parts/mil-82200Six in a row makes it GO! -
Fastenal has what you need,$40.00 for 21 cadium plated ,grade eight and they have grade #9 washers. This what I used to up grade to the 1/2 size. I believe they were 3'' long. Then put 90 ft pounds to them.
Really don't believe you need studs for a stock motor. 1/2 bolts work just fine. Pulling to 90 lbs I think is excessive for stock--I only go to 80lbs on my race motor with 12-1 compression with the new best gasket and have had no problems. I would only go 75 lbs. Any more you are warping the head and pulling on the cylinders and distorting unless you honed with a torque plate.

Thought it was meant to be released late this year?
Don't count on it. It's not releasing anytime soon.
i had hope but yeah its like Dr. Dre's Detox Album And When It Comes Out It will be hit or miss
it will either be GAWD DAMN Or It Will Fail Epicly
Rule of thumb: Look at the current date, and add 8 months
It'll never come out and if it ever does all the songs will sound like God of War...meaning it'll blow.
God of waar was ok cuz Of Krizz Kaliko But tech and smack didnt do good at all i think tech could have done it
i say some time when he did either Killer or K.O.D cuz he was amazing really amazing then

Never understood Nevada´s infatuation with Harry. Guess it´s a union thing in Las Vegas and Reno, but for the life of me, I see a no-talent, brain-dead, career politician who speaks some Second Amendment support just to stay in office.Word of advice, Harry: Watch your back. You are about to get Chicagoed.
Oh come on Harry...take it in the shorts for the obummer!In case you haven´t figured it out yet Harry... the obumsky could give a rat´s rear end about you or your future !!!Good luck Harry !!!!
I would love to see a major fracture of the dims over this.
"Gun control proposals could split Harry Reid."Dingy Harry, a room at the Sunset Hills Nursing Home has just become available for you!
Smart Democrats will distance themselves from Obama as gracefully and as fast as they can if they value their political careers. In particular supporting any kind of gun control legislation may spell political suicide for many of them.
Obama doesn´t want to be bothered by walking this through congress. He wants to take exe. action but everything is being vetted by liberal layers to stand up to a lawsuit.
I don´t much agree with Harry Reid but he does know which side his AR15 is buttered on.

What a fun route! So much fun in fact that there was an entire institute established in Yucca Valley where all they do is sit around all day and talk about how great a route it is (and if you believe that...). But seriously, Mental Physics one of those routes you can climb again and again. P1: Climb 120' of sweet jamming to 3-bolt anchor (2 of which are good, one is old). Either rap from here with 1 60-m rope and a bit of downclimbing, or continue up P2: face climb (5.4?) past one bolt to top. Rap Dazed and Confused. Curious about the name? It comes from Mentalphysics, which is a spiritual retreat center located on the western edge of Joshua Tree, right off Highway 62.
Standard rack to 3", 60m (or better yet, 70m) rope.
A beautiful route in a beautiful setting. Passive pro works very well in this crack. The second pitch is completely different from the first crack pitch but should not be missed especially considering that the summit of Lenticular Dome is a great viewpoint, the walkoff descent is fine.
Can the two pitches link with one 60M rope?
Both this climb and Dazed And Confused can be done in a single pitch with a 60 meter rope.
I hesitate to say this; however, since a few of my climbing friends agree with me, I feel this route, as good as it is, is no more than a solid six. One could screw it up above the crack and make a seven out of it--or more; but it's five six at the most. It's outstanding for someone learning to lead.
For the approach, it seemed a little easier if you walk past the route (from the wash next to Lenticular Dome) until you're about alongside the roof of the route called Unknown (to the left of Mental Physics). If you cut in right from there and start scrambling up, it seems a little easier. If you plan to rap this route, it is recommended that the second climber checks no one is starting to climb Dazed and Confused (to the left of Mental Physics). I would not exactly downrate this route below 5.7 but I felt like more of the 5.7 moves came on pitch 2.
Very nice route. Yes, people do it barefoot, but who cares? The wander to the bolt on the second pitch is cool. One can examine DandC while leading this. Highly recommended.
Splendiferous! Another must-do in my book. Worth the hike in, nice sun exposure, overall I was a happy camper. When I think of fun days, I think of that time with Mindy getting lost in San Fran and the day I climbed this route.
Very fun climb that has that "way back there" feel to the location. Besides a couple of hikers, we didn't see anyone in this neck of the woods. The crack on p1 is very fun and as stated earlier pros up with nuts and hexes very well. The second pitch is a little runout right off the belay, but eases up in difficulty quickly. Will
A very good route that's well worth the hike. It's highly recommended to lead this in a single pitch and then rap Dazed And Confused (5.9) to the left or (if that's occupied) do an easy scramble down slabs to the climber's left. Don't miss the great views of San Gorgonio from the summit! Four stars out of five.
The second pitch seemed to me to be solid 5.7 for the first 10-12 feet past the two-bolt anchors, then it eased off to 5.4 for the next 15 feet to the only (bomber) protection bolt. From there to the top is also no more than 5.4.
The first pitch is probably the best 5.6 in the park.
Such a great route! Definitely a must do. Very well protected. Most of the moves are probably 5.6 (with only a couple 5.7 thrown in), but given how continuous and sustained it is, I think it deserves a solid 5.7.
Excellent route and highly recommended. Run the two pitches together and belay from the top off 2 #1 cams.
Led this route last Sunday, my second or third 5.7 lead at Josh. Very interesting climbing with lots of options. Probably more a reflection of my (in)ability to spot gear placements than anything else, but the "60 favorite" guidebook says it eats gear; It might eat cams, but I found that placing passive pro was harder than some climbs I've done at this rating. Spent too long trying to place a tri-cam only to watch it pop out ten feet below me and ten feet above my last piece. There are tons of places to place gear if you're placing cams, but many of the spots where passive stuff will go is right where you want to put in a foot or toe jam. Luckily, this is a climb with a lot of options. It's exposed, but the rock is so featured around the crack that it's pretty secure. Lots of fun! The walk in and the scramble to the base are a delight. A beautiful spot. Didn't see a soul from the parking lot to the climb and back on a beautiful day.
I used a lot of small to medium size nuts, especially in the lower half. Nuts worked great. Great climb.
guide book said 20 minute approach and it took me 45 with alittle pushing. Well worth the hike and I thought 5.7 was a fair grade for the park. some of the higher finger jams were fingertip laybacks for me and what a great climb.
I'd agree with Hal regarding the second pitch. Fun, but the first 10 feet off the belay are unprotected 5.7/8 slab. Then it eases up, although still unprotected til the bolt which is another 15 feet up.
Linked both pitches and belayed from the 2 bolt anchor atop D&C with a 60m. "P1" was straightforward, almost entirely nuts. Didn't use anything bigger than a #1 BD C4. For "P2", from the 2 bolt anchor 100' up the character of the climb changes entirely and I had a hard time remembering if the single bolt visible 40' up was on route, as it trends left. Felt a bit runout getting to it. Phenomenal climbing, exposure, and location. Well worth the trek.
Such a quality route. Amazing crack just swallows gear.
dont't bother! there are less pepole, less patacci, less assholes! who needs that.
"dont't bother! there are less pepole, less patacci, less assholes! who needs that." - Rob Selter What a non sequitor!
i thought it was really light for a 5.7. if you can lead 5.8 i dont think there should be any problem with this. i found overhanging bypass to be more difficult. i think i remember crux being about 3/4 way up. maybe a little more.

Clarke "back to best form" with Oxford United
9:10am Friday 27th September 2013 in Sport
RYAN Clarke believes he is getting back to top form following double shoulder surgery earlier this year.
The 31-year-old missed the second half of last season to have the two operations, which corrected a long-standing issue.
After a quiet start to the season, Clarke has been kept busy in the last two games and was named man-of-the-match for a performance which kept the U's in the game in their 1-0 defeat at home to leaders Chesterfield.
While the goalkeeper was disappointed to lose the unbeaten record, he has been pleased to turn in solid displays week-in week-out.
He said: "I would like to think I am, I pride myself on being consistent and, to be honest, making things look easy.
"I'm not an extrovert in terms of that, but I think I'm back to my best when I'm playing consistently, and I think I'm doing that at the moment."
Clarke's only clean sheet of the Sky Bet League Two season came in the 2-0 win at Burton Albion earlier this month and he will be looking to double that tally at Hartlepool tomorrow.
He has not missed a minute for the U's so far and is closing in on 200 appearances for the club, with only James Constable playing more often in the existing squad.
With the experienced Shwan Jalal brought in on loan as reserve while Max Crocombe recovers from injury, the former Bristol Rovers trainee knows he will need to keep standards high.
But Clarke believes the hard yards done during the long injury lay-off stand him in good stead.
He said: "I'm just taking one game at a time and I'm enjoying it this year.
"I feel stronger than I've ever felt.
"I have worked my nuts off to get back to where I want to be in terms of my standards.
"I like to work hard anyway and I'm quite intense on myself.
"I'm just looking after myself on and off the pitch."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"After stressing about my invitation for a month, I stumbled across this site. It was so simple to find what I wanted, edit it to my liking, and order! I got my order within 5 business days as promised and I couldn't have been happier! The floral detail looks like it was hand painted on each card. Be sure you upgrade to the shimmer paper, you won't be disappointed!"
"These invitations are gorgeous! I was looking for an elegant wedding invitation which embodied the Vintage Romance theme that I was shooting for. I went to a few local shops and was told that the style I was looking for would cost me between $9-$12 an invite... which was just not going to happen. After a lot of frustration I found Wedding Paper Divas site and loved every sample that I ordered from them (at reasonable prices to boot!). When it came down to ordering the invite this one fit the bill beautifully. It was simple yet had a unique design and looks amazing on the black pocket folds that I ordered."
"The colors I picked turned out great (blush and grey) The invites are beautiful! Its SO worth the extra 10 cents to add the shine to them. They have a hint of shimmer and glitter. Im in love. I cant wait to send them out."
"My Wedding Invitations were absolutely PERFECT. They truly reflected the theme and thoughts we wanted for our guests to begin to visualize of beginning of our dream coming true."
"These arrived last night and I'm simply thrilled with the result.They are for my upcoming winter wedding at a ski resort in British Columbia. I went with rounded edges and paid to have the glossed finished! Perfect!"

Sounds good.
And thanks to Avatar_ko for the heads up about the "Top 10" showing up in early screens....
I think promoting these bands is going to be one of the key reasons that RBN will totally revolutionize the process by which new bands get exposure. This bypasses soooo much of the old bureaucratic system of managers and promoters and A&R and record labels and scrounging for gigs in sewer holes, etc......cutting out so many middle men here.

RBN is a good idea. As are most of these posts.
But, I feel a bit sorry for PS3 users (inb4 vedicardi) getting mostly shafted. I know it's mostly Sony's fault (Why can't we PS3 owners have nice things too?), but still, you have to feel sorry for us/them.
As I've said in several other posts, I'm sure that Sony is working their little tails off to make the PS3 play nice with RBN in the immediate future. Remember, one of Sony's biggest sources of income is their record label (they're one of the Big Four), so there's no way they're going to sit this out and let Microsoft take all the glory.

Radim Vrbata confident about future of Coyotes and his next contract
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy1 day agoThe timing couldn't be better for Radim Vrbata's contract extension with the Phoenix Coyotes. The 32-year old forward is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and will surely land a multi-year deal that will pay him much more than the $3 million he's currently making.
Helping his case is the fact that he's been one of the team's leading scorers since returning to the desert in 2009, and the fact that his general manager believes he's underpaid.
Vrbata and his camp had talks with Coyotes GM Don Maloney about an extension in the off-season, but nothing was hammered out and he preferred not to discuss anything in-season.
In talking about his player in September, Maloney gave a hint that Vrbata will be paid nicely when a deal can be finalized.
"Relative to the production he's given us for the last two years but even prior to that, he's been good value for us. But we like the value," said Maloney at the time.
The 10 best shootout goals of 2013 (Puck Daddy Year In Review)
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy1 day ago(Puck Daddy presents its annual look back at the year in hockey. Check back every day through the New Year for our many lists and hot takes.)
After 65 minutes of hockey, the NHL has determined that a best-of-3 shootout competition shall take place to determine a winner. Sure, we'd love to see more actual, you know, hockey, but the shootout does allow for some players to show off their creativity.
During the 1994 Olympic gold medal game, Peter Forsberg popularized Kent Nilsson's slick move he pulled off versus the U.S. in 1989. All these years later, the move hasn't been forgotten, as showcased by John Tavares, Mikhail Grabovski, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Nikita Kucherov, among others in 2013.
But while the Forsberg/Nilsson move is always pretty to see, 10 other players went into their trick bags to give us the top 10 shootout goals of 2013.
10. Vladimir Tkachyov, KHL Ak Bars Kazan scrimmage
A preseason intra-squad scrimmage shootout saw Tkachyov spin his way onto our list:
9. Mason Raymond vs. Columbus (March 13)

• This 1973 Quebec Nordiques' Christmas card is all sorts of fantastic. There are others. [The Hockey News]
• As Tom Wilson went through his hearing with the Department of Player Safety, his head coach, Adam Oates, was still defending his hit on Brayden Schenn. [CSN Washington]
• Schenn could play Thursday night against Columbus and said he doesn't remember a thing about the Wilson hit. Yet, he did not undergo the baseline test for a concussion. [Philly Inquirer]
NHL Three Stars: Sutter saves Penguins; Jagr passes Yzerman, Howe
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy2 days agoNo. 1 Star: Brandon Sutter, Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins blew a 3-1 lead late in the third period, but Sutter scored the only goal in the shootout for the 4-3 win over the New York Rangers. Pittsburgh scored twice in a 1:01 span early in the third to build that 3-1 lead. Sutter scored the third goal, his seventh of the season, with this wicked backhander:
No. 2 Star: Damien Brunner, New Jersey Devils
The Swiss import scored a goal and notched an assist as the Devils downed the Ottawa Senators 5-2. After slumping since early October, Brunner now has four goals and five points in his last four games. His goal tonight put New Jersey up 4-1 and came in creative fashion:
No. 3 Star: Jaromir Jagr, New Jersey Devils
Jagr passed Steve Yzerman for eighth on the NHL all-time goals list with his 693rd. He's now one behind Mark Messier. His goal also stood as the game winner, giving him 122 in his NHL career, passing Gordie Howe for first overall.

Five things to know about tonight's NHL games ...
1. Missing Malkin. The Penguins' second leading scorer, Evgeni Malkin, will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. Head coach Dan Bylsma has also ruled him out for Thursday night's contest against the Wild.
Darryl Sutter's plan to eliminate penalty boxes, make NHL owners richer
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy3 days agoEvery time the discussion in hockey turns to potentially making the ice surface bigger, thereby giving players more room to create, the response is that NHL owners would lose millions in revenue from the number of seats on the glass they'd have to remove to accommodate such new rink dimensions.
But what about an idea that could increase the number of seats in an arena when it's set up for hockey?
Enter Los Angeles Kings head coach Darryl Sutter. He's got an idea.
Having played 406 NHL games and coming from one of hockey's most famous families, Sutter has seen plenty of rinks in his time and how they've changed over the years. There is one thing that baffles him, however, about the modern day rink setup: what's the deal with penalty boxes?
In Sutter's eyes, he thinks they serve no purpose and if his AEG bosses are listening, he has an idea to make them some extra cash.
The real stars of 'HBO 24/7': The Florida Panthers?
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy3 days agoSince the HBO 24/7 cameras have entered the worlds of the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs, it hasn't been good times for either side. Toronto has gone 3-5-0, while the Red Wings are winless, 0-5-2, as they deal with the extra media obligations on a daily basis.
We're only through one episode of 24/7 , and with the second coming this weekend, it's becoming pretty clear who the star of the series is so far. No, not Mike Babcock. No, not Joffrey Lupul. No, not the toaster Randy Carlyle did battle with. The star of HBO 24/7 has clearly been the Florida Panthers.
Say what?
Since firing head coach Kevin Dineen and replacing him with Peter Horaceck, the Panthers have gone 10-8-1, but of late they've won six of their last seven games, putting themselves six points out of a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. This current run also includes three wins over the Red Wings and the Maple Leafs as the 24/7 cameras roll.
Watch full first episode of 'HBO 24/7 Maple Leafs-Red Wings' (Video)
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy4 days agoIf you missed the first episode of "HBO 24/7 Red Wings-Maple Leafs: Road To The NHL Winter Classic," you missed Randy Carlyle's struggle with a toaster over; Dion Phaneuf's wardrobe; Jimmy Howard's pre-game mental exercises; and tons of screen time for Stephen Weiss.
Our review of Episode 1 was that it was "meh," and we're such fanboys of the series that the Episode 2, premiering Saturday night at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and 7:30 p.m. ET Sunday for our Canadian friends with Sportsnet, has us hoping this was just setting up for big things to come.
Thanks to HBO, here's a censored Episode 1 in its entirety. Sorry Canada, they've made this video U.S.-only.

Puck Daddy chats with Alex Chiasson about Stars' inconsistencies, Lindy Ruff's style and Ray Whitney's influence
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy4 days agoWhen Alex Chiasson of the Dallas Stars enrolled at Northwood School, a prep school in upstate New York, the Quebec-native's English was, well, questionable. While he's called "Chaser" by teammates because of the typical hockey player nickname equation (first half of first or last name plus "-er", "-sy" or "-y") some Stars fans prefer to call him "Toaster."
It was one of only three English words he knew, other than "yes" and "no."
Six years later, Chiasson speaks English just fine and has become another young player coming through the Stars' ranks who shows promise that the future is bright in Big D.
After getting called up at the end of last season, Chiasson proceeded to score six times on 13 shots in his first seven games with the Stars. His shooting percentage was a ridiculous 46-percent. And not even the off-season could slow him down as he scored in each of Dallas' first three games this years.
For Chiasson, it was a matter of confidence and linemates that helped sparked him after making the jump to The Show.

Pretty sure you do that from the Load screen, there should be a button noted that deletes the currently highlighted save.
And I do believe it's in the bottom left corner, with the same old [ENTER]/Yes confirmation combo we see all the time... I've deleted tons of games. I think my save numbers are up to 160 or 170something...
Just started with the Blades. Didn't check out the quest that turned you guys off. Curious to see what happens with them now.

Too much.
Well when obamacare was signed nearly two and a half years ago as we were just talking about the president promised it would make health care more affordable.
And when he was campaigning back in 2008 promised not to raise your taxes.
If you make under 250000.
Dollars a year.
You will not see your taxes be increased by a single dime not your income taxes not your payroll taxes not your capital gains taxes -- -- But guess what he's wrong again on both counts because Obama -- introduces twenty new taxes.
And we don't have to wait -- -- quite fourteen to feel the pain.
In 2010 a handful of taxes took affect.
Including an excise tax on charitable hospitals that don't meet certain standards it was also a tax on indoor tanning.
We saw the introduction of the medicine cabinet tax last year meaning Americans are no longer able to use health savings accounts flexible spending accounts or help reimburse.
Reimbursement that is pre tax dollars for over the counter drugs.
Starting next year brace yourself that's when the big ones -- a surtax on investment in -- and medical device manufacturers see a new two and a half percent tax.
Also the Medicare payroll tax hike will get -- -- caps will be placed on medical deductions flexible spending accounts.
Not -- brings me back to 2014.
And the main burden of obamacare the individual mandate.
While we're debating that constitutionality.
Of this aspect of the lot make no mistake it's one big fat tax the individual penalty imposes a 95 dollar tax while -- space.
To grant.
Per employee if they don't have health care.
All told I'm talking about 420.
Billion dollars worth of taxes.
The broken promises just keep right on -- fingers crossed the court keeps these taxes for becoming reality.

Comments about MINKPINK SLASHER FLICK ACID SHORT:
These shorts are really cute with cropped tops. They are very figure flattering. On me, these shorts fit exactly how high-waisted shorts should fit (not too high and not too low). However, I would recommend getting a size down because they run a size too large. My sister already owns a pair of Mink Pink Slasher shorts in a small, so I ordered a small thinking it would fit. When they arrived, they fit like a medium! I took one star off because of the having to order another one. Other than that, I love these shorts and would recommend them!

You've probably heard that you're not supposed to pour old medications down the toilet or drain. That's because drugs can get into the water supply and cause problems for people and wildlife.
But you can't just toss medicines or unused prescriptions in the trash either. You don't want medications — and your private health information — to fall into the wrong hands.
Destroying old medications (like expired over-the-counter medicines or unused prescriptions) and then putting them in the trash is the way to go.
Here's how:
A few prescription medications need to be disposed of immediately after they are no longer needed. These should still be flushed down the toilet. If your prescription is one of these, the label or sticker on the container should say so.
Ask your pharmacist about National Prescription Take-Back Day. This program lets you bring unused medications to a place where they can be disposed of safely.

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Converted tries from England's Harry Sloan, Elliott Stooke and Henry Purdy, as well as a penalty from the latter, helped set up a tense finish but the RBS 6 Nations champions lost out 24-31.
England did however pick up a vital losing bonus point ahead of Thursday's final group A against the USA, and Walshe insisted his side would aim for the best runner-up slot.
"We're massively disappointed with the result," he said. "But the second-half performance was pleasing. Credit to the guys – they dug deep and came very close to pulling it back.
"We're not out of the competition, we will have to rely on a couple of results going our way but we all we can do is focus on playing well against USA on Thursday."
In the group's other game, France recorded their first victory of the tournament as they ran in six tries to beat USA 45-3 and move level on points with England ahead of their showdown with South Africa.
Elsewhere, Wales set up a group C decider with Argentina after emerging 26-21 winners in a closely fought encounter with Scotland.
Thirteen points up after half an hour, the Welsh were pegged back as their opponents posted 16 points without reply.
But two Sam Davies second-half penalties and a converted Steffan Hughes try proved enough despite Eoghan Masterson's late Scottish try.
Ireland will also face a final group game decider after defeating Fiji 46-3 with a try each for Dan Leavy and Chris Taylor and doubles for Rory Scholes and Darren Sweetnam.
Picking up a crucial bonus point, they will now face fellow Group B opponents New Zealand as they look to reach their first ever JWC semi-final.
Meanwhile, Italy will return for next year's championships after they beat Canada 45-23 to claim the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy in Temuco, Chile.
Ahead through a Marcello Violli converted try inside the first minute, the Italians scored five further tries to hand departing coach Gianluca Guidi a final win.

Done by the Al Leist Machine Shop in San Mateo, California, a popular shop for custom engines, it has been in dry storage since 2001. The block has been relieved, bored .060 over, decked, and comes with a Clifford Head. It turns over freely. Please examine the photos. Price includes delivery to the 2012 All-California Meet, or to the 2013 HET National in San Mateo. Shipping $500 otherwise. If not sold this week, the engine will be placed on eBay. Please call 408-472-5403 for further information.

tidy little sum to ask esp. doesn't seem to come with "7X" exhaust manifold, carbs, & who knows what cam and serial # proves it wasn't originally a 7X block.
Certainly not a bad price considering what you get. He does not claim to be a true 7X block. Look at top of add (7X clone).
Randy Maas -
I agree with Randy, this is what you would pay to have your standard 308 rebuilt (labor and parts).
This is a private sale, so there is no "core" charge, and shipping is just one-way. We had to remove the Clifford head to inspect the block, so we will include a new 308 headgasket. There was a matched Twin-H manifold and custom headers that were supposed to go with the engine, (both Ceramcoated with a chrome finish) but the Twin-H was never found. We will have the headers at San Simeon. These were part of a small run of headers custom designed by Bruce Silva, and made of heavy-wall steel, which sold for $1,000 when new, far superior to other headers and priced accordingly. If someone wants to make us an offer on the block and headers together, please call Ed Drexler at 415-672-2084, BEFORE Thursday 9/13....Thanks.

Pinecrest High School's Chris Metzer has been selected as head coach for the 2013 U.S. Under-18 national team by USA Football.
Team USA will play Team Canada on Feb. 6 in Austin, Texas, as part of the International Bowl. The game does not count toward a high school senior football player's limit of two postseason events.
The U.S. Under-18 team will be made up of high school juniors from across the nation. The players and coaches are selected by USA Football, and a full roster and coaching staff will be announced later.
"It is such an honor to have those three letters on our chest," Metzger said in a press release. "What a great opportunity to represent our country, to represent the great game of football."
Metzger is 33-19 since taking over in 2007 at Pinecrest, leading the team to the playoffs each season. He was the head coach at Lely High School in Naples, Fla., before taking the Pinecrest job.
Metzger has served as the U.S. defensive coordinator at Under-19 national trials and as a head coach for the U.S. Under-15 national team last June in Austin.

Susan of cserpent went to one of our dream destinations ... Murano! Famous for the glass beads that have been made there for generations, this is a spot most jewelry makers would love to explore! Here's a quick look at the supplier she visited and what she found there ... Sounds like fun!
In February I visited Italy for the first time. Since I'm a jewelry designer I had to visit the island of Murano and see if I could find some gorgeous Venetian Murano glass beads to use in my designs. I was fortunate enough to contact a bead maker (Maurizio) and he let me dig through his boxes and boxes of beads. He had just moved his studio and hadn't started unpacking yet!

What happens when the outcome of the surgery is not what the patient expected? How should the patient deal with fixing previous cosmetic surgery procedures that went wrong? What are recommended ways to deal with the emotional stress of this happening?
"Patients go through a tremendous amount of guilt and remorse for having undergone the procedure," says Robert M. Schwarcz, M.D., a leading facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon in New York City. "and many obsess on fixing it immediately to get back to the way they were. It is important to take a step back and let the body and mind heal with time. Once that happens, see a doctor who specializes in that particular area of the body (e.g., eyes, breast) and one who can deal with the complications. It is best to find a surgeon who does not only do reconstruction on a regular basis, but also does cosmetic procedures. Seek multiple opinions and make an educated decision."
