When you are neither clear nor confused, only then can you be a perfect instrument of the Divine! How would an instrument know what is going to be, and when? How can an instrument be confused, and how can an instrument be clear!
This state is called Nimit - just being an instrument of the Divine. Being very clear means not opening to new possibilities and can lead to limitations. Unlimited possibilities are open to one who is not clear and not confused. Your mind swings from clarity to confusion and confusion to clarity but the state in which there is no doership nor inertia is the most creative and progressive state.
Sharmila: Will this not lead to lethargy?
Sri Sri: No. A sharp instrument does its job perfectly, effortlessly.
Sharmila: What about focus?
Sri Sri: Focus is natural to a dynamic consciousness.
Confusion arises when new information flows in and clarity is lost. Then confusion again seeks clarity. Clarity constricts the possibility of new information. A confused consciousness seeks clarity and every confusion is breaking away from clarity. If there is only confusion, there is frustration. If there is only clarity, there is rigidity. After giving contradictory knowledge, Krishna tells Arjuna, "Just be Nimit!" And to be an instrument, the prerequisite is to be madly in love! That's why in love there is neither confusion nor clarity; or there is both - confusion and clarity!
Nazreen: Is truth more important than love?
Sri Sri: I'm confused! Is it clear? (laughter)

"I sometimes visualize faith as a garden, where hope is in abundant bloom. In The Garden of Promise, we stood at the gate of that wondrous retreat. In Petals of Hope, we've entered the garden where the lavish blossoms dazzle the eye and the air is fragrant with hope." -Artist Thomas Kinkade

SPAIN Safer Internet Centre Protegeles - Safer Internet SpainPROTEGELES is a non-profit organisation founded in the year 2002, although our hotline against child sexual abuse images has been working since October 2001. Our work mainly focused on the following objectives: To provide the Spanish Law Enforcement Agencies (Policía Nacional and Guardia Civil) with as many reports of illegal content on internet as possible so that they can erradicate child sexual abused image on the web as well as locate and prosecute their authors.
Safer Internet Day 2013 This SID 2013 you can follow our celebration by following in streaming I Youth Congress meeting Youth Panels from across Spain. Additionally, PROTEGELES has created 16 permanent Youth Panels, composed by 240 youngsters from 12 to 15 years old from across Spain. This net provides our organization the opportunity to better understand how young people address safety issues, their perceptions of risks, their opinion about the materials to be launched, etc. Work on the "rights and responsibilities online" means convey to children three basic concepts:
Many children are unaware of their rights online, and they are not trained enough to say NO and to rebel in a situation unfair. And also, some of them unknown the consequences for the others or which are the legal implications for themselves or their families. | Protegeles

We'll soon exit the beta stage and start charging for our SaaS solution.
We're based in Italy so we work in Euros. We think we should also offer the solution in US Dollars, however we find it hard to come up with a decent solution that:
- keeps our operative margin under control (as we pay our bills in Euros)
- keeps USD prices steady enough not to scare existing customers.
In our case, customers top-up their account every once in a while and we charge them for their daily resource usage (like Google AdWords).
Would it be too bad to only offer a EUR pricing in your opinion? It would simplify things a lot, however it would (probably) turn down quite many US potential customers. On the other hand, we would have to update pricing frequently (especially these days), so it doesn't make that much of a difference to US customers on the final price.
A possible solution is to update the USD prices every three months, but how to handle existing balance? In the end, we would have to change prices so that with the same resource usage, one day we charge you X, the next day we charge you Y. Basically, the price change would be applies to the existing balance too. It's a bit of a mess.
On the other hand, if we cast our USD price in stone, we would take an enormous exchange rate risk.
Any suggestion on how to handle all of this?

"We've made progress over the past few years," Newman said. "A lot of progress started with the 2003 and 2004 drafts, and so far the 2005 draft looks solid. That's how you do it. If you have a couple of poor drafts and trade players away, you'll have a down period as we did. Last year we made some strides and this year we made more.
"One more solid draft and we'll be back where we need to be."
Ultimately, though, it's a matter of who makes it to the Bronx, Newman said, and he points to Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano and injured starting pitcher Chien-Ming Wang as reasons to believe. Along with these two poster-boy major-league rookies, a number of minor-league players have impressed the organization this season, and Newman spoke to The Star-Ledger about the next class of prospects you may see in the near future

Types of AnesthesiaWhat is anesthesia? What are the different types of anesthesia?
Once the surgery is complete, the anesthesiologist stops the anesthetic, the medication wears off, and the patient gradually wakes up in the operating room. Complete recovery from anesthesia continues in the recovery room. Expect your child to be sleepy and to doze off often. Some children become very excited and confused when awakening from anesthesia. This reaction can be disturbing, but usually lasts only a brief time. Click here to view related Web sites |

Thanks for playing, folks. I scored my second ever Basket of Cookies. Hoping it's anywhere near as nice as what I got from the first Happy Hour.

Where are the Monkeys????? We Want Monkeys!!!!!
It's over.
These are actually a it better than the yellow ones. First of all, mine are slightly quieter. Second, when on, they ACTUALLY LOOK THE RIGHT COLOR, shining red and blue light, as opposed to white.
There might just be one more item after this tonight. These will be sold out before midnight.
This...this is the most amazing thing ever. I'm in for three. By monkey, I am in for three!
I thought it was supposed to go on until today's regular woot, which shouldn't happen for over an hour and a half. Oh oh.....are these lights going to last about that long?

I agree it is depressing...I need a new screaming monkey to torture the dogs with!!!
Try third. Two woot-offs ago ended with yellow flashing lights. One woot-off ago ended with the flying saucer.
isn't it over when it's midnight? It's only 8:23pm Pacific here.
who say's it's over? Just because they have woot lights means it's done? Foolish people... Go to sleep. I'll get the monkey AND the second bagel or crepe offering.. Ain't no fat lady getting her pipes ready...

But it's perfectly legal to impersonate a monkey. I've done it many times, often unintentionally.
I need monkeys, for dog toys
I have the yellow ones, but the red one will go great when I'm playing hockey on XBox for everytime I score a goal. Thanks WOOT!

Now I can give my wife a citation for loitering.

Why did you say that?!! Now I feel like I need to waste money, and get some for my friend's bachelorette party next month.
Um, for people thinking that the woot-off is over... It's not. It's only over when the flashing yellow lights go away. There should be another item after this sells out.
The g/f will be glad. She doesn't understand why I need so many monkeys.
Any bets on whether or not the woot off stops at midnight, and then starts again the day after tomorrow?

After we all have had a tough beginning to the week here are a few notes from Berea as the Browns are trying to overcome the weather and injuries.
-Buster Skrine has been named the team's 4th captain for this week's game against Baltimore. Skrine went through a few ups and downs while Joe Haden was out but the last 2 weeks he has excelled as the teams 3rd corner.
But coach Shurmur thinks he can excel outside or inside, "I think he can play outside, but I think he does a pretty good job inside.
Ideally, you like to draft and bring guys to your team that are corners that can all play outside and then decide who plays inside. At this point that's the roll that he's playing and he just needs to keep battling and improving."
-Some feel like the Browns will have a better chance to win with both Ray Lewis and Ladarius Webb out for the Ravens. Shurmur sees a team that's still dangerous,
"We watched how they played in the last game. (Terrell) Suggs being back, I think he had an impact on the game already. I didn't see much difference in last year's version and this year's version. Of course they had the injury to Ed Reed and Ladarius Webb and they've filled those positions. I think at this time of year everybody is a little bit nicked in certain spots and guys play through things.
You get to see role players and backup players in there maybe a little bit more than they normally would early in the year, but we're not guessing. We've got a pretty good feel for who will be in there."
-Phil Taylor is expected to play in his first game of the season and he let it be known that he doesn't fear Ray Rice, as he told the media today "he's a name, we have Trent Richardson, I don't care." Alrighty then.
Here is what Joe Haden had to say about the return of Taylor, "He's a really good run stopper, obviously because he's huge. Just being able to put pressure on the quarterback and the rotation of such good defensive linemen with him, (Ahtyba) Rubin, (John) Hughes and Billy Winn, all those dudes being healthy and being able to go full steam when they're in there is just going to help out tremendously."
-One guy who looks forward to facing teams in the AFC North is Josh Cribbs. The last time these two teams met Cribbs was knocked out early with a concussion. But despite that Cribbs feels like this game can help propel the young Browns, I do, its great football in the AFC North, especially during this time of year.
It's always a battle, powerful games. This is what football is all about, playing football during this time of year when the weathers bad, the field is bad, it really shows what you're made of. If you're going to succumb to the elements of the weather, it really shows it. It showed it last week playing a team from California.
They're not used to these elements and we were able to take advantage of it. Now we're playing against a team who comes from the same elements, they know what it's like to play in cold weather. It's going to be a nitty-gritty football game."

Would this be a good choice for my Gaggia Baby Class machine, and should I go with the 58mm size ?
Made of Stainless Steel, the small round handle tamper features highly durable, impact resistant ABS handles. Available with a 53, 57 and 58 millimeter base. Helpful hint: Measure the inside of your portafilter insert to guarantee the proper fit of the tamper Height from base to top of handle is 3 inches. Weight is approximately 1 lb.
Would this be a good choice for my Gaggia Baby Class machine, and should I go with the 58mm size ?
Mike Russo ♦ Stephen...Thank you for your posting to our Super Wall. The Rattleware Small Round Handle Tamper would be a great choice for use with your Gaggia Baby Class, and yes you will need a 58 mm Tamper. Thanks.
mjackson ♦ Stephen,
Any 58 mm tamper will work. I like this tamper at the price as it has a nice feel and is also made out of stainless steel. They all work but this one looks and feels nice.
Which size I should buy for my Gaggia Evolution. Thanks
mjackson ♦ Nereida,
You will want to get the 58mm size
DRuff Hello Christine. The Silvia uses a 58mm tamper. Feel free to ask any additional questions about your Silvia. That's what we are here for. Enjoy.
For two Starbucks (SAECO) Via Venezia machines, I need a couple of tampers as gifts.
Size? I measure about 53-54mm as the inside diameter of the "double shot" filter / basket. Not sure because the baskets are somewhat tapered, ie slightly smaller at the bottom.
What size should be ordered ?
TechMilanoItalia Yes, the 53mm is the size you want. Even with the tapered bottom it will work as you generally do not tamp that far down into the basket.

The first ever Fall Season of So You Think you can Dance, of course! YAY! If you missed this week's first round of auditions, we saw some familiar faces, some new faces, the good, the bad, the ugly – AND a Tap Trade Between Evan's brother Ryan Kasprzak and Bianca Revel – it was HOT. My Peppermist just started tap lessons this week, and was thrilled to see them battling it out like that!
It was AWESOME.
For a taste of what you may have missed? Here's Ryan's audition – it prompted Adam to tell him "You're not a dancer, you're a freakin' Artist!" Enjoy!

Hoard's Dairyman Webinar Series
Feed Efficiency—What's New?
presented by Mike Hutjens, University of Illinois
Sponsored by: Digi-Star LLC (www.digi-star.com)
Mike Hutjens will present "Feed Efficiency—What's New?" Feed efficiency measures the ability of cows to convert dry matter into milk. There's a potential feed savings of 30 to 40 cents per cow per day when feed efficiency is understood. Sires may be selected by this criteria one day. Guidelines to improve feed efficiency will be discussed. Highlights of the September ADSA Discovery Conference will be shared.
The Hoard's Dairyman webinar series is brought to you by Hoard's Dairyman and Mike Hutjens of the University of Illinois. They are held the second Monday of each month, and broadcasted from noon until 1:00 p.m. central time. Once registered, you can join the webinar up to 15 minutes ahead of the start time. This will allow you time to check for sound levels and screen dynamics.
Hosted by the energetic Mike Hutjens of the University of Illinois, each one-hour webinar will include nationally known and carefully selected presenters who will discuss the most timely and relevant topics and challenges faced by dairy producers today. Topics will cover input costs, finance, nutrition, milk quality, herd management, and milk marketing and dairy policy plans. All of the webinar topic areas are not finalized; this will allow for the addition of time-sensitive topics to be added. Your suggestions on topics are certainly welcome.
The webinars are designed to be interactive. If you have questions during the presentation, they can be typed directly to the presenter, and everyone can learn from the response and discussion. Polls can be conducted during the webinar to give the presenter a sound understanding of his or her audience demographics.
Our webinars are now approved for continuing education units (CEU) from the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists. Each hour-long webinar will earn one CEU.
There is no cost to register or view the webinars. Once registered, you will receive e-mail reminders of the webinar date and time. If unable to attend a webinar, they will be recorded and can be accessed later.
Thank you for your interest in Hoard's Dairyman Webinar Series; and we look forward to you joining us on the second Monday of each month - just one hour. And you won't even have to leave the office.

32 CFR 1900.13 - Fees for record services.
§ 1900.13
Fees for record services.
(a) In general.
Search, review, and reproduction fees will be charged in accordance with the provisions below relating to schedule, limitations, and category of requester. Applicable fees will be due even if our search locates no responsive records or some or all of the responsive records must be denied under one or more of the exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act.
(b) Fee waiver requests.
Records will be furnished without charge or at a reduced rate whenever the Agency determines:
That, as a matter of administrative discretion, the interest of the United States Government would be served, or
That it is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the United States Government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester; the Agency shall consider the following factors when making this determination:
Whether the subject of the request concerns the operations or activities of the United States Government; and, if so,
Whether the disclosure of the requested documents is likely to contribute to an understanding of United States Government operations or activities; and, if so,
Whether the disclosure of the requested documents will contribute to public understanding of United States Government operations or activities; and, if so,
Whether the disclosure of the requested documents is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of United States Government operations and activities; and
Whether the requester has a commercial interest that would be furthered by the requested disclosure; and, if so,
(c) Fee waiver appeals.
Denials of requests for fee waivers or reductions may be appealed to the Chair of the Agency Release Panel via the Coordinator. A requester is encouraged to provide any explanation or argument as to how his or her request satisfies the statutory requirement set forth above.
(d) Time for fee waiver requests and appeals.
It is suggested that such requests and appeals be made and resolved prior to the initiation of processing and the incurring of costs. However, fee waiver requests will be accepted at any time prior to the release of documents or the completion of a case, and fee waiver appeals within forty-five (45) days of our initial decision subject to the following condition: If processing has been initiated, then the requester must agree to be responsible for costs in the event of an adverse administrative or judicial decision.
(e) Agreement to pay fees.
In order to protect requesters from large and/or unanticipated charges, the Agency will request specific commitment when it estimates that fees will exceed $100.00. The Agency will hold in abeyance for forty-five (45) days requests requiring such agreement and will thereafter deem the request closed. This action, of course, would not prevent an individual from refiling his or her FOIA request with a fee commitment at a subsequent date.
(f) Deposits.
The Agency may require an advance deposit of up to 100 percent of the estimated fees when fees may exceed $250.00 and the requester has no history of payment, or when, for fees of any amount, there is evidence that the requester may not pay the fees which would be accrued by processing the request. The Agency will hold in abeyance for forty-five (45) days those requests where deposits have been requested.
(g) Schedule of fees—
(1) In general.
The schedule of fees for services performed in responding to requests for records is established as follows:
Personnel Search and Review | ||
Clerical/Technical | Quarter hour | $5.00 |
Professional/Supervisory | Quarter hour | 10.00 |
Manager/Senior Professional | Quarter hour | 18.00 |

Microfiche | Per frame | .20 |
Pre-printed (if available) | Per 100 pages | 5.00 |
Published (if available) | Per item | NTIS |
(2) Application of schedule.
Personnel search time includes time expended in either manual paper records searches, indices searches, review of computer search results for relevance, personal computer system searches, and various reproduction services. In any event where the actual cost to the Agency of a particular item is less than the above schedule (e.g., a large production run of a document resulted in a cost less than $5.00 per hundred pages), then the actual lesser cost will be charged. Items published and available at the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) are also available from CIA pursuant to this part at the NTIS price as authorized by statute.
(3) Other services.
For all other types of output, production, or reproduction (e.g., photographs, maps, or published reports), actual cost or amounts authorized by statute. Determinations of actual cost shall include the commercial cost of the media, the personnel time expended in making the item to be released, and an allocated cost of the equipment used in making the item, or, if the production is effected by a commercial service, then that charge shall be deemed the actual cost for purposes of this part.
(h) Limitations on collection of fees—
(1) In general.
No fees will be charged if the cost of collecting the fee is equal to or greater than the fee itself. That cost includes the administrative costs to the Agency of billing, receiving, recording, and processing the fee for deposit to the Treasury Department and, as of the date of these regulations, is deemed to be $10.00.
(2) Requests for personal information.
No fees will be charged for requesters seeking records about themselves under the FOIA; such requests are processed in accordance with both the FOIA and the Privacy Act in order to ensure the maximum disclosure without charge.
(i) Fee categories.
There are four categories of FOIA requesters for fee purposes: Commercial use requesters, educational and non-commercial scientific institution requesters, representatives of the news media requesters, and all other requesters. The categories are defined in § 1900.02, and applicable fees, which are the same in two of the categories, will be assessed as follows:
Commercial use requesters: Charges which recover the full direct costs of searching for, reviewing, and duplicating responsive records (if any);
Educational and non-commercial scientific institution requesters as well as "representatives of the news media " requesters: Only charges for reproduction beyond the first 100 pages;
All other requesters: Charges which recover the full direct cost of searching for and reproducing responsive records (if any) beyond the first 100 pages of reproduction and the first two hours of search time which will be furnished without charge.
(j) Associated requests.
A requester or associated requesters may not file a series of multiple requests, which are merely discrete subdivisions of the information actually sought for the purpose of avoiding or reducing applicable fees. In such instances, the Agency may aggregate the requests and charge the applicable fees.
Title 32 published on 2012-07-01

Familiar with the name Prima Cinema? That's about to change. The high-end home theater company just announced an agreement with Cinedigm that will bring exclusive content to its "Premium Home Theater" starting this summer.
Those interested in Prima's package will need to spend $35,000 on the hardware (which is $15K more than we reported back in 2010), which promises quality that's better than Blu-ray. The hardware, which was designed by BMW Designworks, also offers 3D support.
The agreement with Cinedigm means that Premium Home Theater owners will be able to experience theatrical release movies in the privacy of their own home—at a mere $500 a pop. According to Variety, that will be the cost for each theatrical release, which gets delivered directly to the hardware as a secure file. However, that cost doesn't entitle the big spender to ownership; the release will only be available as long as the film is in theaters.
Cinedigm's content will include independent films, documentaries and other premium alternative specialty content including ballet, opera, theater, sporting events and musical concerts.
"Prima provides us with a brand-new high-value distribution channel enabling direct access to an established and growing market of private home theater screens," says Chris McGurk, Cinedigm's chairman & CEO. "Additionally, with the associated premium business model it could represent a significant new revenue stream for us."
Variety says that a few of the titles expected to be available to Prima viewers will include Sundance Documentary Audience Award winner The Invisible War and SXSW Midnighter Audience Award winner Citadel.

As you can see from the photo to the right, I harvested my AeroGarden herbs tonight after a good weekend of growth. I got a lot of Italian Basil and quite a bit of mint (my two favorites from my current selection). It's nice that I can get fresh herbs even though we got a frost last night. Ah, the wonders of eco-technology.

Five leatherback sea turtles circled me in 15 feet of water, their nimble and graceful underwater gliding belying their girth. They skimmed close, looking for handouts, giving me a chance to look into their soulful, wise eyes and touch their slick, barnacle-studded shells.
One of the giants gave me a lift: As it surfaced for air, it could not see me swimming above it and, unable to get out of its way, I got a brief turtle-back boogie-board ride. Gnarly, dude!
Swimming with leatherbacks was definitely a highlight of my three days on Barbados, an Eastern Caribbean island that the Bajans (the local name for the locals) refer to as "The Rock."
They also like to call it "the birthplace of rum." After three days, I'd had my share in the local rum shops, which they claim number one for every 160 members of the island's 280,000 population
The turtle swimming experience demonstrated a trend new to Barbados tourism since I visited some dozen years ago. As one of Britain's most faithful and prosperous colonies during its plantation era, Barbados highly values its history, presenting visitors with countless opportunities to explore the past at plantation manors, fortifications, sugar mills, and museums.
But today, as the touted west shore Platinum Coast sees its once-treasured beaches erode because of development on the north end, Barbados has come to value its environment and share it with visitors. Which it well should, because its green spaces and jewel-toned seas are stunning.
In the island's mid-section, caves, monkey-populated forests, and gardens appeal to nature-lovers. At its fringes, rocky cliffs and white-sand beaches beckon.
Most people gravitate to the leeward side of the island, where shoring and the building of paths still allow visitors to walk from sandy beach to sandy beach in front of the resorts and homes that face calm, clear seas.
• Day One: Exploring the Platinum Coast
I made my base at The Club Barbados, formerly the Almond Beach Resort. The Almond name once attached to three important Barbados resorts, all of which have been sold. Club Barbados lies close to the heralded Sandy Lane Resort, where celebrities and royalty from the U.S. and England pay four figures a night for luxury rooms and coveted links.
More my price range, The Club Barbados, an adult all-inclusive, is still undergoing upgrades in the rooms, the best of which face the sea. It has its own upstairs version of a rum bar, its shelves lined with an impressive collection. Try the passionfruit and mango rum punch.
The Club Barbados makes a handy headquarters for walking the strip to historic Holetown and its new designer shopping and entertainment center called Limegrove Lifestyle Centre. I preferred strolling through the chattel house shops village, small rum shops, and clubs district.
Here allow me to explain two institutions of strong Bajan tradition.
Chattel houses date back to post-emancipation days, when the freed slaves built their wooden homes to be moveable from job site to job site. Gingerbread-trimmed and colorful, they brighten the towns and countryside.
Rum shops, other than being a place to procure drink and often food, serve as a political forum and dominoes arena — when the patrons aren't listening intently to the broadcast of a cricket game, that is.

Plz refer to the User Guide on page 13
Incase the technician cant do it, plz call in for assistance. Thanks.
06-09-2012 10:24 AM - edited 06-09-2012 10:25 AM
When I used the number in the user guide referenced in the previous post (by xhen), the tech I got in touch with reported she did not have the ability to place my modem (SMCD3GNV) into bridge mode and that I would have to pay for the extended customer support in order to get this done. This was stated as the only option. I'm sure she believed that, but after paying for the support I read here (in other threads) that I could have had this done without paying. She was poorly informed of the options.
I ended up having to call up and pay for a recurring extended customer support service to have a "switch flipped" that should have been able to be done by standard tech support. I'm furious about that. I then called back ask for that recurring fee to be disabled and they couldn't find that I had subscribed to it earlier so I'm sure I will have to call back up in a couple of days to have the service removed.
I just moved into a Comcast area. Prior to now I was on Time Warner Cable. My Time Warner cable modem had the bridge mode option available right on the user accessible admin panel. I got in and changed it without any need to call TWC. I have heard horror stories about Comcast, but I've tried to keep an open mind as there are a lot of people who complain about everything. This is my first time dealing with Comcast and I must say that so far I am not impressed.
06-09-2012 11:09 AM - edited 06-09-2012 11:13 AM
You don't need paid support to place the device in bridge mode call this number 1 800 363 2416 gateway support, it will take 5mins and there is no charge...
Yep the rep advised you poorly.
May be best to call during regular business hours.

Great thread with some good info.
I tried bridging my Modem and Comcast did it w/o much hassel. It worked great with my wireless router (linksys wrt54g v2 w/Tomato 1.28) for all of 30 minutes and then crapped out. Tech reset it on his end crapped out again.
So I went to the local Best Buy and it had a Comcast center and purchased a Arris TM722G. Got it set up and everything is great so far. Speeds with teh SMC (POS) Wireless Gateway plugged directly in Maxed out at 25mbs down 4.3up. The Ariris maxes at 36mbs down/6.3up.
That SMC All in one Gateway is really bad and should be discountinued.
My SMCD3GNV is awful. Can I request another model? Does turning off the broadcast improve the wi-fi connection in play?
Thank you,

"I actually ordered three different sets of bar plans, and I am happy to say that I chose yours to build. The results are awesome, and I wanted to share a few photos with you. The plans were easy to follow, and the bar came together quite nicely. I used 3/4" oak plywood for most of it, and added a beer gutter to the back side. I am ecstatic! Thanks for the help in putting together "Murray's" pub!"

"...attached some photos I took of my recently finished bar. I
purchased and used your speedy build instructions as a template for my bar's construction. The instructions were logical and very easy to follow. I decided to use corrugated galvanized metal for the front and sides of my bar to keep with the "stainless steel" look that I was after. It worked very well and is a low maintenance approach".

"Fighter Pilot Retreat"
HB-006, customized by Crash M., Ramstein Air Base, Germany
"I wanted share a few photos of our bar I built using your Speedy-Build plans. I am an active duty military member living in Germany and have never done any woodworking in the past. I was a little worried the task I was undertaking would be too much especially since everything over here is in metric! However, due to the ease of construction inherent in the design of your plans I actually spent more time at the hardware store ... than I did putting the bar together! Honestly, once I started, I had the basic bar complete in one night minus the top and of course sanding/staining. Thanks again for your awesome plans they truly are Speedy-Build!!!

And of course the wife has the last word!!! :)
When he said HE was going to build us a bar, well... I just said, "okay, honey... you build us a bar...tee hee hee..." because the man has never built anything in his life other than model airplanes. When a big ol' work bench full of saws and such appeared in our basement I just took a deep breath and thought, "oh man, here we go." Saw-wood flew and tunes blared for a few nights and, much to my happy surprise, that fella built us one heck of a bar! In the end, I have to say I am very proud of the bar he built and have to brag
that he gets all kinds of kudos on it, even from men who are self-proclaimed woodworkers themselves. Your plans were very straightforward and easy to use. I've been calling them
"Bar Building for Dummies" plans because, although not a dummy by a long shot, my hubby whipped out that bar in no time flat. Thank you, thank you... we have had some awesome parties (such as the "stock the bar party that, as you can see from the picture, went over well) all because that bar, thanks to y'all, has made our "Fighter Pilot Retreat" one great place to hang out.

"Yes, we did buy plans for the "Speedy Build" Bar, it came out really great! Building the bar was the final part of finishing our basement, and it really adds a lot to the room. It was our first time ever actually building something like this, and we were surprised at how easy it was thanks to your plans. We even modified the plans slightly, and tiled the top, which came out great. All the measurements and steps were easy to follow, and the tools required were minimum, which saved us a lot of money. No one can believe that we actually did it ourselves because it looks so professional."

Here are some photos of my Speedy Build Bar. I made a few minor modifications such as shortening the top overhang on one side so it could be against the wall, using steel sheets backed with 1/4 inch plywood instead of the bead board, using steel for the top (fastened onto lumber), and using some molding for the trim. I did have to use an extra tool not listed, a jig saw with a metal cutting blade, for the steel sheets. As with other folks who have written in, this is my first project of this sort and I was able to complete it by myself in what amounted to about two days worth of work (it actually took a couple of weeks, because there were times I could only get an hour worth of work in a day). My wife was a little apprehensive about this project and was really just hoping for something that didn't look too bad. She was very pleasantly surprised by the finished product and thinks it looks great in our basement. Thanks for having such easy to use plans that enabled me to build the bar that fits perfectly in our basement design!!

...Just thought I'd share a few pics of my new bar which I built using the speedy build plans. The plans were simple to use which made the project enjoyable to build. I did make some modifications though. I added a fridge on the right side and a roll up door for the liquor cabinet. I also added some lighting underneath the bar top. I covered the top with a granite looking formica. I've had several compliments on how well it turned out. Thanks for helping build "Barry's Bar".

"Paradise Palms"...

Speedy-build HB-006-R
...My wife and I are very much the amateur builder's who were very hesitant about taking on this project. However we are now believers in your process, and are glad we did. I looked over your web site and was motivated by the repetitive assurances of the ease with which your guides would produce results. I am here to assure all that the "L Shaped Speedy Build" is just that. The layout of the purchase guide, the modelistic approach to cutting out and numbering the individual parts, and finally assembling them, was very easy for the amateur builder. both my wife and I are very proud of our new bar. We stayed very true to your initial design, however we added a palm weave walls and some additional trim to the project in order to a have it fit our tropical theme. thank you very much for your service and the quality of you work! We are calling the bar the Paradise Palms and it took us about 20 hours to build, not counting the time we allowed for stain and poly to dry.

..."I wanted to let you know just how easy this was. I had never attempted to do anything like this before. I had to borrow my dads circular saw since I did not have one. My friends cannot believe I built this by myself. I even purchased some cabinets and a countertop to put a sink for a wet bar behind it. I purchased your plans off of the Internet and they were by far the easiest to follow. I had bought some other plans about 2 weeks before yours and once I got them I realized that they were not made for the novice woodworker so I did not attempt to use them. Luckily I found your sight and I have the bar that I always wanted. Thanks again."

"Here is the bar that I just built. It was quite easy to follow the plans and I actually shortened the length of the bar by 1 foot to accommodate the bar area. I took it even further and added a tile bar top along with an extended arm rest at the back corners of the bar top. The next steps for me is to keep adding more shelving and eventually a bar back. But for now, I thought I'd share this with you. As of today, I continue to receive compliments from all my friends and relatives. Now, I can finally kick back and enjoy a nice cold one at my own bar. Once again, thanks for your design.

"... just wanted to send you a few photos of the Tiki Bar that I built utilizing your speedy-build bar plans. Considering I am not a carpenter, I found the plans very easy to follow and as you can see I made quite a few modifications! The whole job took me about 4 days to build cost me about $500.00 including all the bamboo and tiki decor plus shipping. The bar is completely weatherproofed and the bar top is covered with bamboo board and 12 coats of polyurethane! Thanks for the easy to follow plans!" Jim

"... I consider myself pretty handy and do a lot of around-the-house repairs and updates. I now wanted to concentrate on having a bar of my own. When I say a bar of my own, I mean the bar that Chris built. I was leery because my woodworking skills are not up to par so to speak, but I accepted the challenge. I came across your website, reviewed it, downloaded it, and got started. With very few snags and little to question, I have a bar in my now finished basement that my family can enjoy, as well as a great place to entertain. Thanks very much for the plans and the affordable cost. The directions were extremely explicit and I thank you for that! Here is a picture of my finished bar. We went for the olive green stain....risky, but turned out wonderfully!

How special is yarn Mom? see page 4 irww»lfS«psfffeC!idwliiiss3^!Sfie^^ 72nd Year, No. 17 Freepori, N.Y. 11520 The Community Newspaper Thursday, Aprii 26, 2007 CURIOUS GEORGE greets his curious fans Freeport board approves school budget by Mark Treske The flooding that has plagued Freeport since the beginning of the week had still not encirth subsided when the Freepon school board met at Atkinson on Wednesday. April 18. President Debra McQuillan, expressing concern about flood waters tlireatening her house, asked the board's and public's co-operation in completing the meeting before the high tide expected at 10 p.m. After a moment of silence for the victims at \'irginia Tech. the board turned its attention to the finalization and approval of the 2007-2008 budget. Deputy Superintendent Kishore Kimcham discussed changes made since the -April 12 meeting. The money allotted for capital improvements, originally slated to receive $450,000 of the state aid increase, will receive 5225,000. for a total of Si .7 million. This and other changes made since the previous meeting will result in a finid expenditure budget of 5134,876.027 - an increase of 580.000 over the budget's original draft, and an increase of S6..i66.15I. or 4.95 percent, over 2006-2007. Rexenues are slated to increase h\- 55.081,190. leavina a net tax lew increase of 51284,961. or 1.72''percent. The difficulty of the process was shown in the discussion that followed. Trustee Michael Raab believed that more of the increase should go towards lowering the t;ix rate. "This community needs a bre;ik." Mr. Kuncham responded tliat almost all of the rise was used on the tax rate. Citing needed PA repairs at Atkinson and auditorium seats in one of the school being dangerously in need of repair, Mr, Kuncham noted that the district has a responsibility toward those it educates, "There are things that really need repair." His thoughts were seconded by trustee Debra Mule, who, though supporting the budget, washed that the numbers from April 12 could be used. In the end, the budget was appaived 4-1 (trustee Raab voting no) and w ill be submitted to a vote on Tuesday, May 15. The Leader inquired of the Clerk's Office regarding the school board election also taking place on May 15 and was infomied that trustees Raab and McQuillan w ill be seeking re-election, and will be opposed by challenger Mike Pomerico. (continued on page 2) FACE-PAINTiNG was one of the day's popular attractions. THE WOMEN'S ADVANCE CLUB was honored for 100 years , of service to the communily.
