Folding Table 125 129
Wonderful Chairs These are beautiful folding chairs. They look like elegant dining room chairs but fold up to store when not in use. They are great when we have a large family dinner and run out of chairs. Lovely! May 27, 2014
Excellant chairs The chairs are very sturdy, easy to use and look very expensive. I loved them so much I bought 8 of them! May 27, 2014
excellent addition these folding chairs can't be beat, I am leaving them up and the "good ones" in the basement. Let's me have more people around the dining room table and not have to split the party up. went from 8 to 12, pretty remarkable. Great chair, strong, sturdy, just wish the fabric was a bit more formal. May 27, 2014
Great Chairs! Very pleased with the overall quality and style of these chairs! I will be looking forward to picking up a few more of them soon. May 5, 2014
Folding chairs We needed extra chairs for our dining table...ordered these and were absolutely thrilled with them...two of our dinner guests ordered them as well. March 3, 2014
Very satisfied I bought two chairs to use during the holidays as one of my extras fell apart, and was so happy with the quality that I purchased two more. They're comfortable, sturdy, and look as if they will hold up over time March 1, 2014
exactly what I was looking for These chairs are beautiful, sturdy, and easy to fold away. February 27, 2014
Perfect and unique item I needed a table for serving. The height is perfect; You filled my need when I entertain and can so easily be stored when not on use February 27, 2014
Great Portable Table I wanted a folding table, but something really well made, sturdy and attractive. This table fits the bill perfectly. It is an attractive solid wood and extremely sturdy. While I know it was made as a portable dining table and will fill that bill very well, I am using it as a workspace right now for my computer, etc. It is absolutely rock solid, not even a hint of wobble. You would just assume the legs were permanently attached in the open position. The hardware hinges for opening and closing the legs are quite substantial, promising years of good operation. It's an excellent purchase that I'm not sure exists anywhere else. February 26, 2014
Love these chairs The chairs look great, work well, and store easily. I love that they stand up, not lean, for storage. Their heavy weight makes them feel like a "real" chair instead of a folding chair. February 26, 2014
Nicest folding chairs These chairs did not disappoint...they look like 'regular' chairs and therefore fit right in with existing dining chairs... do not have to think about who gets the folding chairs...i does not matter now...everyone thinks they get a good chair! January 21, 2014
Very pleased with my purchase Chairs are sturdy, attractive and look just like the online picture. January 20, 2014
Can't imagine anyone not liking these chairs! We ordered these chairs along with the folding table. My husband is not easily impressed with my furniture purchases. He was VERY impressed with this purchase. We needed an extra table for our Holiday dinners - the family has grown out of our dining room - and this set will beautifully expand our seating. We won't have to call it the "kids' table" either - I think the adults will be very comfortable dining at the table with the beautiful, comfortable chairs. January 20, 2014
Set/2 Chippendale folding chairs The chairs arrived on time and packed perfectly so there was zero damage. They look terrific; they do not look like folding chairs. The seats are very, very hard. I am keeping them as I do not need them often and like the look but I am hoping in time the cushioning gives a bit. January 16, 2014
Just what we needed The chairs look great. Easy to set up and sturdy. Our order arrived quickly, too. A very positive online shopping experience. January 15, 2014
Unbelievably Superb Craftsmanship We purchased this table and 4 accompanying chippendale folding chairs as a quality game table for use in our large and somewhat elegant recreation basement. And the chairs appeared nice enough for add-ons to the also elegant dining room set. What we received was beyond our wildest expectations. The sturdiness, finish, and folding aspects are of the highest quality for any table and chair set you would find in a fine quality furniture store; never expected in a folding set. The value for the quality is simply extraordinary. January 12, 2014
Excellent Chairs We ordered (2) pairs of the Shield back Chairs. They arrived a little frozen and stiff, but in perfect condition. They were a great match to our existing chairs and added comfort to our guests for the holidays. Thank you! January 11, 2014
Great chairs I have made several purchases through Frontgate. My first purchase was four kitchen stools and I was hooked! To date, I have never been disappointed with any of the items purchased. My most recent purchase has been these dining room folding chairs. They are sturdy, easy to store, easy to fold, and best of all they are beautiful. They easily blend in with any dining room decor. Great for when you have extra guests. January 9, 2014
Nice looking chairs I purchased a pair of the cane back chairs as extras for a new dining table when we have company. They are definitely nicer looking and more comfortable than others I looked into. The undersides aren't finished perfectly but they aren't visible and they don't effect the sturdiness of the seating. January 9, 2014
Perfect timing Ordered these for extra seating at the holidays & they arrived faster than I expected. They are very comfortable & easy to open & store. So nice, I'm leaving them set up in the dining room instead of hiding them in a closet. January 8, 2014
Just what the doctor ordered... This set is close enough to my current dining set to add a couple extra places; but I'll probably order another and a table for extra large parties. The sale price was fantastic too! January 6, 2014
Best Purchase Ever!! Could not be more pleased with the chairs. So sturdy, & no one knew they were folding ones! January 6, 2014
fabulous purchase These chairs are well made, packaged very well, come with replacement tips for the bottom of the legs and a pen to repair any scratches. They are comfortable and store easily. No one at the party felt that they were sitting in a typical folding chair!! January 6, 2014
folding table and chairs I ordered four chairs and the matching folding table for an anniversary gift. The new chairs so closely resemble our kitchen set and dining room chairs we brought them out when we needed extra places at both tables over the holidays! Only complaint (if you can call it one) is that the table is so substantial it is difficult for one person to carry up and down stairs. January 2, 2014
Great product These chairs are the best. They look very expensive and not at all like they should be able to be folded and stored away, but they are. They actually look like furniture rather than just plain old folding chairs. A very welcome addition for when our family all get together for dinner. January 2, 2014
Chippendale folding chairs Very pleased, it is an outstanding product and very sturdy and firm back support. January 1, 2014
Totally Happy I purchased eight of these chairs so I was taking a big chance on getting what I needed. Let me tell you, these chairs are beautiful. My family and friends were totally impressed. One chair was damaged in freight and Frontgate took care of everything. Doing business with them was a breeze. January 1, 2014
Solid Classy Chairs Since getting our dining room set, we've never been able to add chairs that look good with the six that are part of the set ... until now! While these chairs don't match exactly, they complement our more formal looking set very well and are very easy to unfold and fold back up again. We're very happy with them! December 31, 2013
Better than expected One never knows what level of quality and service you will receive when ordering the first time by mail order. We were pleasantly surprised when we received the 4 Chippendale folding chairs sooner than expected. The chairs are high quality and a good value. This was our first purchase from Frontgate but will not be our last. December 31, 2013
Versatile dining chairs We like the two folding dining chairs we ordered. They allow us to seat extra people when needed and fold to store in a closet the rest of the time. Very nice looking. December 30, 2013

Answer:Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The Folding Table does have hinges, which are hidden on the underside of the table. The legs are solid - they are attached to a crossbar which is hinged, 2 legs are attached to one crossbar, and 2 legs to another crossbar. These crossbars fold inward for storage. I have included a diagram below that illustrates how the legs fold.

Shopping bonding with mom is always the best! Nothing can equate to it. And as for your own goodies, if I were one of the customers, I need tons of self-control to for your beautiful and priceless artworks.
Btw, I've watched one episode of Today's show, which is aired a bit late in my country. One guest was showing how he transformed a milk carton. For some reason, it was you who entered my mind. Sorry to say, but I believe you can do better than the guest in terms of upcycling and repurposing. I really hope that you'll be featured in a magazine or TV Betsy. I would be one of your proudest fans. :)

Community Wide Talk on Domestic Violence and Abuse AwarenessPosted Apr. 10, 2012
he National Society of Leadership and Success, in partnership with The Christina House, a domestic abuse shelter for women and children, is hosting a community wide talk on domestic violence and abuse awareness. The free is event is Thursday at 5 p.m. in Kent State University's at Salem's lecture hall, room 134. Guest speakers will be Nickie Ostick from The Christina House, and Kent State Salem student Donna Beery, a survivor of domestic abuse.
If you have ever been a victim of domestic abuse, or if you have ever known someone that has suffered at the hands of their partner, you don't want to miss this program," said Danielle Stewart, president of The National Society of Leadership and Success. "We hope this program will empower and inform our students."
When a woman and her children flee to the safety of The Christina House, oftentimes they have nothing but the clothing on their backs. Students from the society will accept donations of gently worn clothing to aid these families in need. In addition, a tax deductible donation may be made. Checks may be written to: The Christina House.

World Champion driver Rhys "Mad Skills" Millen pilots the RMR Hyundai Genesis Coupe in the Formula DRIFT Championship and the RMR Hyundai Veloster rally car in the U.S. Rallycross Championship Series, including Summer X Games. Millen and his team are an ideal match to help launch Hyundai's motorsports effort. Millen's driving credentials include movie stunts, multiple drifting championships, a Pikes Peak world record and his 2008 New Year's Eve Las Vegas truck flip at Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. Behind Millen's success in the driver's seat is a full team of engineers and fabricators that know how to maximize the potential of a race car.
With more than 17 years of racing experience, Rhys Millen has established himself as one of the premier rally/drifting drivers in North America. Rhys is the son of famed rally and off-road racer Rod Millen. Rhys won the Formula Drift championship in 2005 and the Red Bull Drifting World Championship in 2008. In 2009 at the PPIHC, Millen won the Time Attack 2WD class in his carbon-bodied Hyundai Genesis Coupe. His time of 12:09.397 crushed the class record.

Focus Booster helps you stay focused
Distraction is the enemy of focus. If you work at a computer all day, the possibilities for distraction are limitless. One way to stay focused is to use the technique of a firmly regimented working period followed by a short break period that I first came across at Merlin Mann's 43 Folders site. His technique suggested using 10 minutes of work followed by 2 minutes of rest, but the recently popular Pomodoro Technique suggests using 25 and 5. Whatever periods you use, the cross-platform Adobe Air based Focus Booster application is just the timer you need to keep you on task.
Focus Booster is a tiny timer that allows you to set a work and rest period, then away you go. You can focus entirely upon your work knowing that a rest period is coming soon, and you can check out your Facebook / Twitter / blog comments / whatever it is you fancy when the time comes.

The St. Louis County Library and Shoeman Water Projects, a local non-profit that helps provide clean water to developing countries, are teaming up on a new partnership. Starting January 21 through February 20, all 20 St. Louis County Library branches will be accepting gently used shoes. The collected shoes will be exported to places like Kenya, Haiti and South America. Funds from the resale will help Shoeman Water Projects purchase well-drilling rigs and water purification systems.
When you visit any SLCL location, bring a pair or more of gently used shoes. Shoes should be in good condition, tied, rubber-banded, or bagged together.
Shoeman Water Projects has collected over 3 million shoes since 2008. This equates to four well-drilling rigs, more than 250 wells drilled serving more than 200,000 people, as well as the installation of water purification systems and repairs to well pumps that serve clinics, schools and villages across the globe.
To learn more about Shoeman Water Projects visit at www.shoemanwater.org. Call 314-994-3300 to find out more about the shoe drive at St. Louis County Library.

Our first RESTful API Test
package com.wolfware.integration import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient import spock.lang.* import spock.lang.Specification import com.movideo.spock.extension.APIVersion import com.movideo.spock.extension.EnvironmentEndPoint @APIVersion(minimimApiVersion="22.214.171.124") class GetAuthenticationToken extends Specification { @EnvironmentEndPoint protected def environmentHost def "Get authentication token XML from API for valid account"() { given: "a valid account" def authenticationTokenRequestParams = ['key':"AAABBBCCC123", 'user':"email@example.com"] and: "a client to get the authentication token XML" def client = new RESTClient(environmentHost) when: "we attempt to retrieve authentication token XML" def resp = client.get(path : "/authenticate", query : authenticationTokenRequestParams) then: "we should get a valid authentication token XML response" assert resp.data.token.isEmpty() == false // lots more asserts } }
As you can see, apart from the @APIVersion and @EnvironmentEndPoint annotations (these are Spock extensions as explained later), the spec is a fairly simple Spock test.This specification has a feature that, as the name suggests, gets a authentication token in XML format and validates it. Lets look at each step: Given
- The url parameters required to get a authentication token from the RESTful service
- using the Groovy RestClient to call the RESTful service for the authentication token details
- We can assert all the details of the response.
Trying to test any environment RESTful serviceI've found that when trying to write integration tests, there has either been:
- Hard coded environment details and the code branched for each environment making it near impossible to keep code in sync as merge hell becomes the norm.
- Config files that define the environment are used to define environment details, again checked into each branch for each environment.
Spock ExtensionsIn short Spock allows us to extend it to perform other functionality during the test life-cycle (a great post on extensions can be read on this excellent blog post). I've developed two extensions which help to make the idea of running the same test suite across different environments easier.
The @EnvironmentEndPoint ExtensionThe aim of this Spock extension is to have a placeholder variable in code that at run-time, can be defined with the environment host of the RESTful services that we want to test.
package com.movideo.runtime.extension.custom import org.apache.commons.logging.Log import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory import org.spockframework.runtime.extension.AbstractAnnotationDrivenExtension import org.spockframework.runtime.extension.AbstractMethodInterceptor import org.spockframework.runtime.extension.IMethodInvocation import org.spockframework.runtime.model.FieldInfo import org.spockframework.runtime.model.SpecInfo /** * Spock Environment Annotation Extension */ class EnvironmentEndPointExtension extends AbstractAnnotationDrivenExtension<EnvironmentEndPoint> { private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); private static def config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(new File('src/test/resources/SpockConfig.groovy').toURL()) /** * env environment variable * <p> * Defaults to {@code LOCAL_END_POINT} */ private static final String envString = System.getProperties().getProperty("env", config.envHost); static { LOG.info("Environment End Point [" + envString + "]") } /** * {@inheritDoc} */ @Override void visitFieldAnnotation(EnvironmentEndPoint annotation, FieldInfo field) { def interceptor = new EnvironmentInterceptor(field, envString) interceptor.install(field.parent.getTopSpec()) } } /** * * Environment Intercepter * */ class EnvironmentInterceptor extends AbstractMethodInterceptor { private final FieldInfo field private final String envString EnvironmentInterceptor(FieldInfo field, String envString) { this.field = field this.envString = envString } private void injectEnvironmentHost(target) { field.writeValue(target, envString) } @Override void interceptSetupMethod(IMethodInvocation invocation) { injectEnvironmentHost(invocation.target) invocation.proceed() } @Override void install(SpecInfo spec) { spec.setupMethod.addInterceptor this } }The EnvironmentEndPointExtension class defines the following:
- config: is a ConfigSlurper that parses a config file 'SpockConfig.groovy' that is used to define the default environment host (envHost)
- envString: gets the value of 'env' from all System Properties (these include run-time properties) and defaults to config.envHost
A note on Gradle builds.By default, Gradle will not pass through JVM arguments through to forked processes such as running tests. The code snippet below shows how to achieve this:
/* * Required to pass all system properties to Test tasks. * Not default for Gradle to pass system properties through to forked processes. */ tasks.withType(Test) { def config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(new File('src/test/resources/SpockConfig.groovy').toURL()) systemProperty 'env', System.getProperty('env', config.envHost) }This allows all tasks that are a type of 'Test' to have some custom code run. In this case, we are defining the 'SpockConfig.groovy' config file and then setting 'systemPropery' within Gradle Test tasks to 'env' and either getting the value from the passed in JVM argument or from the config file. With this code in the build.gradle, we're able to run all tests via a Gradle test build, which will produce lovely test reports (in Gradle HTML and JUnit XML).
The @APIVersion ExtensionAnother integration testing problem I've found is that if we try and develop our tests first (or at least during the process of developing a feature or bug fix) that running the same tests against an environment that doesn't yet have the new code base (but we are using the same test code base everywhere), we'll have failing tests that aren't really failures as the new code isn't there yet. To help solve this problem, I've developed the @APIVersion extension to help with this issue. As newly developed code should be deployed with a new version, we can use this version to compare to a minimum version that a test can be run against.
package com.movideo.runtime.extension.custom import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient import java.lang.annotation.Annotation import java.util.regex.Pattern import org.apache.commons.logging.Log import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory import org.spockframework.runtime.extension.AbstractAnnotationDrivenExtension import org.spockframework.runtime.model.FeatureInfo import org.spockframework.runtime.model.SpecInfo /** * API Version Extension * */ class APIVersionExtension extends AbstractAnnotationDrivenExtension<APIVersion> { /** * Logger */ private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); /** * */ private static def config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(new File('src/test/resources/SpockConfig.groovy').toURL()) /** * env environment variable * <p> * Defaults to {@code LOCAL_END_POINT} */ private static final String envString = System.getProperties().getProperty("env", config.envHost); /** * Version REGX pattern */ private static final def VERSION_PATTERN = Pattern.compile(".", Pattern.LITERAL); /** * Max version length */ private static final def MAX_VERSION_LENGTH = 4; /** * Current API Version */ private static final def CURRENT_API_VERSION = getDeployedAPIVersion(); /** * {@inheritDoc} */ @Override void visitFeatureAnnotation(APIVersion annotation, FeatureInfo feature) { if(!isApiVersionGreaterThanMinApiVersion(annotation, feature.name)) { feature.setSkipped(true) } } /** * {@inheritDoc} */ @Override public void visitSpecAnnotation(APIVersion annotation, SpecInfo spec) { if(!isApiVersionGreaterThanMinApiVersion(annotation, spec.name)) { spec.setSkipped(true) } } /** * Get the current deployed API version * <p> * Performs a HTTP request to the current deployed API version. Parses the returned data and get the {@code version} node data. * @return current deployed API version */ private static String getDeployedAPIVersion() { def apiVersion = null try { def client = new RESTClient(envString) def resp = client.get(path : config.versionServiceUri) apiVersion = resp.data.version LOG.info("Current deployed API version [" + apiVersion + "]"); } catch (ex) { APIVersionError apiVersionError = new APIVersionError("Error occurred attempting to get current deployed API version from %s", envString + config.versionServiceUri); apiVersionError.setStackTrace(ex.stackTrace); throw apiVersionError; } return apiVersion } * @param annotation * @param infoName * @return */ private boolean isApiVersionGreaterThanMinApiVersion(APIVersion annotation, String infoName) { def isApiVersionGreaterThanMinApiVersion = true def minApiVersionRequired = annotation.minimimApiVersion(); // normalise both version id's def apiVersionNormalised = normaliseVersion(CURRENT_API_VERSION); def minApiVersionRequiredNormalised = normaliseVersion(minApiVersionRequired); // compare version id's int cmp = apiVersionNormalised.compareTo(minApiVersionRequiredNormalised); // if the comparison is less than 0, min API version is greater than the deployed API version if(cmp < 0) { LOG.info("min api version [" + minApiVersionRequired + "] greater than api version [" + CURRENT_API_VERSION + "], skipping [" + infoName + "]") isApiVersionGreaterThanMinApiVersion = false } return isApiVersionGreaterThanMinApiVersion } * @param version * @return */ private String normaliseVersion(String version) { String[] split = VERSION_PATTERN.split(version); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); for (String s : split) { sb.append(String.format("%" + MAX_VERSION_LENGTH + 's', s)); } return sb.toString(); } }The @APIVersion extension defines the same environment config as the @EnvironmentEndPoint extension does so that the environment can be injected and used purely for accessing the API version endpoint without the need for @EnvironmentEndPoint. The RESTful API version endpoint is required to be setup and publicly available. The @APIVersion extension will call this service to get details about the version of RESTful API. The version response data should be as follows:
<ServiceInformation> <serviceName>Media API</serviceName> <version>1.51.1</version> </ServiceInformation>The @APIVersion extension will look for the version data to define what the current deployed version of the RESTful API is. Once the version of the RESTful API is known, the extension then checks the minimum API version required. Example
@APIVersion(minimimApiVersion="126.96.36.199")The extension then uses this value to compare against the response data version and if the required version is greater than that of the deployed RESTful API services, then the test is skipped. This extension annotation can be placed on Specification's or Feature's allowing whole Specs to have a minimum version and / or Features to have their own minimum version. This extension has made writing integration tests with Spock even more portable and allows for a 'build once' set of tests that can be run against any environment, with some small changes to allow getting the API version.
The SpockConfig.groovy fileHere is an example of the SpockConfig.groovy config file used to configure defaults for both @EnvironmentEndPoint and @APIVersion extensions.
versionServiceUri="/public/serviceInformation" envHost="http://api.preview.movideo.com"
- The 'versionServiceUri' is required for @APIVersion extension as the URI for the RESTful API version
- The 'envHost' is required for both @APIVersion and @EnvironmentEndPoint extensions as the host of the RESTful API
Go and start testingHopefully these Spock extensions might help your Spock integration tests. The framework is really easy and fun to use to build essential tests for the whole test stack. Checkout my GitHub projects for the code for both extensions. Hope this post has been helpful and hopefully I'll post something sooner for my next post.

After Berba's third hat-trick of the 2010/11 season, we recall the last time a United player scored three triples in a season...
Dimitar Berbatov's third goal against Birmingham City had hacks and stattos scrambling to StretfordEnd.co.uk to find the last time a Reds star scored three hat-tricks in a campaign.
They didn't have to go too far back - eight years ago, Ruud van Nistelrooy achieved the feat with a trio of triples against Newcastle United, Fulham and finally Charlton Athletic. Like Berba, the Dutchman notched all of his hat-tricks at Old Trafford and all in the league as United pipped Arsenal to win the 2002/03 title race.
Our free video respectfully recalls Ruud's three hat-tricks - but here's to Berba going one better in the remaining months of the season.

I'm 22 and I have suffered from ED my whole life. I have trouble getting it up or when I do get it up it is brief and not as hard for penetration. I've used Cialis it worked great for awhile but I noticed it has been becoming less effective and it is expensive. I hope this is the right area to discuss certain supplements or herbs.
I've been reading a lot online to get and find some ideas regarding what to take and in what dosages. Today I picked up a couple things and began taking:
2/28/13 L-Arginine 2g
2/28/13 L-Citrulline 2.25g
2/28/13 Maca 2.3g
2/28/13 Omega 3
2/28/13 Zinc 30mg (stopped taking, Adam's provides 30mg and Testo provides 9-13mg of zinc)
2/28/13 TestoJack 100
2/28/13 Horny Goat Weed 2.25g
3/1/13 Adam's Men's Multi
3/1/13 30-60 minute exercise (running, jump roping, lifting)
3/2/13 American Ginseng 1g
3/2/13 Pycnogenol 60mg
3/2/13 CQ10 100mg
3/X/13 Ginko (Yet to get)
***Fruits / Veggies added daily/every other***
Raw Spinach
***Been drinking 11oz of low sodium v8 a day***
***Drinking 2 scoops of muscle milk a day***
Holy **** I'm taking so much stuff lmao kind of concerned about that....
I don't expect to get immediate results but over time would this be beneficial to maintaining or getting it up?
Anything you could recommend would be appreciated.
I woke up today with morning wood for about 30 minutes after taking all this stuff for one day. Maybe a coincidence? I wasn't expecting immediate results but so far so good. I'll probably get to test it in the bedroom tonight or sometime this weekend, so I'll update my post after that.
I ran/walked haven't done exercise in a long time but it's a start. Did some jump roping, jumping jacks and push ups along with pull ups. Need to start lifting now... I've got some bowflex weights I can use until I rejoin the gym. I'm not overweight if anything my body is pretty athletic and I need to gain then cut/tone up.
Tried wacking off (Which I never do, If I wack off it's 1-2 times a month if even. I prefer the real deal) Had little to no trouble getting it up and keeping it starting to believe the supplements are helping or I have anxiety around this girl in the back of my mind. Will keep updating as I go along to share for others like me! .
I have had a physical in September 2012 I think and everything came back within normal ranges. I was also nerve tested and was told I have had no nerve damage. I am thinking of getting another physical and seeing a urologist to discuss causes. I know the current supplements / herbs take time to build up in the body, so I don't expect to be able to perform this weekend like I want to try. I'll still give it a go if the opportunity comes though.

The Runs
Since my column only runs every other week, I totally missed Thanksgiving, topic-wise, and now it's already the decorating and the people not paying attention and the aggression projected out from behind the wheels of automobiles and all of a sudden there's a fucking Santa Claus on my Coca-Cola can. I would like to say, in this, the run-up to The Holidays, that I am sick of all this stuff that gets run-up to, seriously. All this "The Runup" to The Elections and "The Runup" to The War, or the Next War, or the Continuing War, if you will, right? Quit saying "the Runup to," stuff, OK? Every goddamn morning is The Runup to the end of the day and every goddamn motherfucking day is The Runup to the end of the year, get it? Man, that shit pisses me off. Or deeper still, hearing that kind of crap is The Runup to me being pissed off.
I guess we are for reals actually indeed experiencing The Holidays right now, but like, the days in between the days-off Holiday-days? I'm not real thrilled with those in-between ones, you know? I just want The Holiday, pure Holiday, man. Gimme like, like, that Filet-O-Holiday, an entire day of Don't Gotta Be Doing Nothing combinated with Eating and Napping. Actually, that sounds like a lot of my non-holiday days, hiyo! I sure wish there was a big clump of Holiday, man, not this spreadout bullshit like we got now, but anyway, since it was recently Halloween and Thanksgiving and now Xmas and New Year's in rapid succession at Target, I'm gonna theorize We The People are in the throes of The Holidays, OK?
I don't hate on The Holidays. Again, my only problem with the whole The Holidays thing is we don't all get More, you know? Let's have some more fucking days off, man, like those Europeans, yes? Look at them, seriously, they gotta be doing something right, I mean check out that gol-durned Euro-dollar they got, hah? That thing is kicking our dollar's ass, man, even though it doesn't have a logo as cool as our (as in U.S.) dollar. Really, man, that Euro-dollar logo is kinda weak, but a whole lotta Euros hadda agree on it, so whatever, and you can come up with all the Micro and Macroeconomics theories you want about Oil and The War on Freedom, but I bet it is ultimately because those Euro-types get a whole The Holidays worth of days off in a big chunky-ass chunk of Holiday.
I heard some supermodel or singer or some kinda celebrity-female wants to get paid in Euro dollars, and I totally underwrite that idea, because it is all about Getting Paid. Don't hate the supermodel or whatever she is just because she wants Euro-dollars; she's probably going someplace Euro for her The Holidays, dig? And while we are all Internationally and Globally-speaking, I don't get all worried about whose Holiday or The Holidays we are discussing, you know? I mean, I love to enjoy me some Holidays, since usually it means a day off from work, and I got my Holidays and you go ahead and have some of your Holidays or two, and go ahead and pretend it means whatever you want it to, or even Believe in something if you want, and really, I mean, as long as it doesn't involve like, a human sacrifice or something, please enjoy that action to the fullest, OK? I could care less about you and your The Holidays, but at the same exact time, I totally cheers you and your Holiday or The Holidays of Choice and hope you will invite me over for some food and maybe a lie-down if I need one.
Anyway, like I was saying, here in The Runup to the last sentence of this paragraph, since my fucking column only runs every fucking other week (Have I ever mentioned that my column only runs every other week?), I tend to get a little backed up (as opposed to Runup), and then I enjoy to reflect upon the backup and try to figure out what I missed out on, column-wise, on account of my every-other weakness. For one thing, speaking of Festive Holidays and Eating and Backed up, have you seen that commercial for the Bran cereal, where the construction worker is talking about being backed up and there's a truck in the background dumping a giant load of brown chunks? You can't make this shit up, man. I hope that commercial gets a prize for selling Bran cereal, and I'm trying real hard to remember the name of the cereal-product, which is something like "10% Bran," or maybe "40% Bran," but I don't think it's "All-Bran," which I am also pretty sure is a dumptruck-type of cereal. I sure could use some Column-Bran. ★

Staying at Temple University in June, no car -- what's awesome and convenient?
- b
- Big Bad Voodoo Lou Apr 19, 2010 01:48 PM
Hey, folks. I'm a regular on the Florida Chowhound forum, but I'll be coming to Philly in early June with my wife, who is speaking at a conference at Temple University. We'll actually be staying ON the Temple campus and won't have a car. I've heard the area directly around Temple is "sketchy" at best, but I don't suppose there are any good places to eat ON campus, or nearby in safe areas?
Also, my wife has a disability that makes it hard to walk too far, and we're always concerned about the accessibility of public transportation. We may take a cab once or twice if necessary, especially if there are any can't-miss dinner recommendations. I'll probably have some down time during the days, so I don't mind taking public transportation on my quest for good things to eat by myself.
I'd love to try authentic cheesesteaks -- are any of the famous places near Temple? On my own, I'm a sucker for really great delis, either Jewish or Italian style. Cured meats, smoked fish, amazing sandwiches, anything like that. For a nice meal together, we love New American/gastropub-type places (although we don't drink) or really good Italian. But with my wife and her walker and our reliance on cabs, safety and convenience will trump almost other consideration. We appreciate any advice!
How many days are you going to be here? The Broad Street Line of the subway system has a stop at Temple and will get you into Center City pretty fast, so you don't necessarily need to restrict yourself to the immediate area of Temple, depending on how far the subway stop is from the building you're actually staying in. Temple isn't far from Center City by cab either, maybe an $8-$10 cab ride one-way. A subway ride would be $4 for the two of you one-way, unless you buy some tokens, which are $1.45 each.
For your amazing Italian, Osteria is close to Temple (it's right on Broad St. and there's a subway stop 2 blocks away) and is fantastic. If you have the budget for it, it's early enough to make a reservation at Vetri if you want. Osteria is Vetri chef Marc Vetri's more casual, less expensive place, Vetri is his first. It's also pretty subway-accessible, it's a block east of Broad St. on Spruce.
For New American, I can't think of a place that's convenient to the Broad St. subway, you'll probably have to take a cab.
At this point I am going to try to talk you out of trying a cheesesteak, most of which suck, and into trying a roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe and provolone, it's Philadelphia's *good* sandwich specialty. You can get a great one at DiNics in the Reading Terminal Market. The only decent cheesesteak that exists (in my opinion) is at Steve's in the northeast of the city, which is not really accessible to you from where you'll be.
re: Buckethead
There are probably good cheesesteaks near Temple and you will be far away from anything touristy. Ask around campus. The neighborhood will definitely be sketchy, so go at day time and probably without your wife.
The subway stop you will be using at Temple will be, I think, Cecil B Moore which is handicap accessible, which means it has an elevator. However, SEPTA has a habit of having broken elevators, so check before you go: http://www2.septa.org/elevators/
Everything else Buckethead said is pretty spot on, except that not all stations are handicap accessible on the Broad St Subway; eg the one near Osteria does not have an elevator. You can look at the station map and see: http://www.septa.org/maps/transit/bsl...
The buses should all be fine as they can be lowered close to the ground and the seats in the front are easily accessible.
For Jewish deli, do not miss the Famous 4th St Delicatessen. The meats and fish are top quality. They have two locations; the 19th St one is maybe 5 blocks from the Walnut-Locust subway station which does have an elevator. If you are by yourself, the City Hall station is a block or two closer, or you can switch to the Green Line to get to 19th St. Their original 4th St location is 10 blocks or so from the closest Subway Stop, but the walk down South St is pretty interesting and will give you something to do if you don't mind the walk. You could also switch to the blue line at City Hall and get off at 5th to save a few blocks and you could hit historical sites like Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, etc on the way down if you go that way.
BTW, Google Maps have public transit directions for Philly which are actually pretty decent.
re: barryg
(accidental post)
re: barryg
Thanks barry, I didn't know that not all subway stops are handicapped-accessible. Yet another reason to hate Septa...
re: barryg
Yes, sketchy is putting it mildly. Speaking for myself, I would not go out at night in that area at all. Being on foot with a handicapped person makes you even more vulnerable. Please be careful and take a cab.
Now on to a happier subject - food. No one mentioned it, but the classic places for Cheese steaks are Pats and Gino's in South Philly. If the fresh fruit food trucks are out by June, they are delicious and not be be missed. If you are into Spanish Tapas, Amada is a great choice for an evening meal together.
re: truffles2
As I said before, as long as you stick to Broad Street, it really isn't sketchy. I'm a middle-aged woman and I work on campus. I never feel uncomfortable walking through main campus, even at night.
I also thought I'd mention that along 12th street between Montgomery and Berks, there is a row of food stands including a quite good middle eastern - Ali's, and a decent vietnamese (though not as good as the truck I mentioned earlier). At those places, you order at the window, and there are a number of tables out front for sitting.
I'm guessing you are staying at the Conwell Inn, as I can't imagine anywhere else on campus to stay. The neighborhood used to be sketchy, but really isn't anymore, especially if you stay close to Broad Street.
There's a Saxby's, which is a decent coffee place, just around the corner. The Cecil B. Moore subway stop is a long block and a half south and gives easy access to Center City. At the corner of Broad and Cecil B. Moore, the Barnes and Noble cafe has a pretty big selection of food. There are a bunch of places in the block south of there. There's a Qdoba, Koja Grill (vaguely korean/asian) and Noshery (sandwiches and salads). They are all perfectly decent, though nothing special. There are also a large number of food trucks, of varying quaility. On Montgomery Ave. (half a block below the Inn) along the back of the law school, there's a pretty good Jamaican truck, and a Chinese/Vietnamese truck that has pretty good vietnamese bun. Lastly, Tiffin, which is a good Indian restaurant, will deliver to Temple campus.
Other than that, you have to leave the area for really good food. I echo the Osteria recommendation for a nicer meal. It should be a very cheap cab ride, and no more than 10 minutes from main campus. Of course, if you take a cab, the whole city is at your disposal and there are so many good places. just browse the board for ideas.
You don't need to bother with subways at all. The Route C bus runs north and south on Broad Street, which is the major north-south artery - and you are very close to it.
The driver will lower the steps and make it easy for your wife to get on and off.
Osteria is right on Broad Street, so it's really easy to get to. Make a reservation.
The Reading Terminal Market is an exciting place to visit, especially from Wednesday to Saturday when the Amish farmers are there. It's a short cab ride, and there are places to sit inside it, especially if you don't get there smack in the middle of lunch hour.
There is a section called Northern Liberties which isn't too far from you by cab. We love a tapas bar/restaurant called Bar Ferdinand - casual, great food. Worth the trip. Avoid Saturday night there, as is true of many places.
You're getting lots of good advice. Enjoy your visit!
re: sylviag
Sylvia -- great advice about the C bus.
BBVLou: The city has 2 major streets: Broad Street (which is actually "14th Street") and Market Street. They intersect at City Hall. If you get to City Hall on the C, you can change to another bus to get to Reading Terminal Market. Once at RTM, it's not all that far to China Town. Get a good map, and do some googling to find the best public transportation. If your wife has walking issues, the subway is not such a good idea since there can be a lot of steps involved.
Jane Pond is correct about the street food. Tons of trucks around Temple.
Another hot spot for trucks and for lots of smaller, ethnic restaurants, is University City, around the Penn and Drexel campus's.
Be aware that many of Philly's smaller resto's are BYOB, meaning you bring your own wine or beer. If you enjoy an adult beverage with your meal, make sure you check the resto before hand to see if they have a liquor license. Hard for outsiders to comprehend, but it's a way of life here (grin).

re: PattiCakes
as a frequent tourist in philadelphia, i just wanted to remphasize what patticakes has mentioned about not taking the subway with your wife. you mention she requires a walker... well there are a lot of stairs in the subway system and to make the connections that seem so simple on paper, it sometimes requires quite a bit of walking to get from one line to the next and i'm not afraid of walking. buses would be your best option. google offers a handy public transportation option when you're searching for directions but double check connecting lines as it missed one final bus connection for me that would have saved me 10 minutes of walking.
i haven't had extensive exposure to the italian scene in philadelphia but i would highly recommend osteria. besides being in a very good location for your needs, i think the food is quite good. i didn't get a chance to try the pizzas but was very very happy with the pastas and most of the apps/mains (least impressive was their octopus). i would give them a heads up in advance as i do recall some of the tables being tight together and you may want extra room to maneouver. vetri is a step up in and offers a real homage to ingredients, but would be more work to get to in a brick street nabe.
also, my understanding of the smaller ethnic restaurants in University City was that many of them were west of 40th? which seems like a fair trek out. if there are a good number of places east of 40th then i'd love to know of them.
Thanks to everyone for the great recommendations so far. Please keep them coming!
I'm already figuring out how to make it to the Reading Terminal Market on my own, as that sounds like a way to spend an afternoon in paradise. I'm also a fan of street/truck food, although my wife isn't as adventurous as I am.
re: Big Bad Voodoo Lou
>"I'm also a fan of street/truck food, although my wife isn't as adventurous as I am."
Just ask a student which cart has the best cheesesteaks. They will know.
re: JanePond
I'm sure that there are good cheesesteak places on campus, but I haven't found them. have found a couple of mediocre ones.
my favorite on-campus food truck, hands down, is a place that serves chinese and vietnamese food; it's a truck that parks on montgomery, btwn broad and 13th (closer to 13th). they have a plastic chinese food menu, but order off the hand-written vietnamese items. great food and cheap. i really like hte chicken bun and the lemongrass chicken. pork w/rice is also very good.
other trucks are hit and miss; there's a decent korean truck at 12th, north of berks; an overstuffed crepe place on norris. a lot of food that's good, but that i don't find myself craving much.
also in june, not all food trucks will be open.
How is your wife with steps and stairs? Because that's one thing to keep in mind. A lot of the best places I can think of in Philly aren't good with handicap accessibility...I know someone upthread mentioned Vetri but I do believe they are up from some sidewalk steps that could be difficult to navigate.
One thought I had was Mercato...it's not far off the Broad Street line (or a reasonable cab ride), great Italian, plus they have sidewalk seating if it's a nice night so navigating in/out of the place shouldn't be an issue.
A 5 min cab ride will take you to a neighborhood called Northern Liberties, where you can meet 2 of your requests. The Standard Tap is the resto/bar that started the gastropub movement here and is still the measuring stick. N3rd is another great gastropub in the same neighborhood. You can get your cheesesteak fix at Rustica which is next door to the Standard Tap. Though known primarily for their amazing pizza, their cheesesteaks are some of the best in the city. My fav is the truffle cheesesteak.
Hey everyone, we're back and we survived Philadelphia! Thanks so much for the food recommendations. Good eats were definitely a highlight of the trip.
My wife and I made it to Osteria for our one romantic night on the town, based on all the good word of mouth here. We shared cannelloni pasta as an appetizer, browned in a garlic buttery sauce and stuffed with kale and ricotta cheese and crumbled black peppery sausage. It was a small portion, but very rich -- not bad, but actually my least favorite thing we tried there.
Then I ordered spaghetti alla chittara, these thick pasta strands that may have been egg noodles, with fresh mussels from Maine in a garlicky white wine sauce with green tomatoes. It was amazing. Even better was what she got, a special of baby pig, cured for several days with a salt and pepper rub. We got a few different cuts -- the shoulder is the only one I remember. That was easily the best pork dish I've ever had. The cure gave it a great salty and spicy flavor, but it wasn't dry at all -- still extremely juicy with lots of delicious pork fat. It came with two thick, crispy pieces of pork skin that reminded me of jerky made from a spicy pepperoni or similar cured sausage, and some crisp fried potato cubes. We got a gelato sampler for dessert, with a sweet milk gelato, a tart yogurt gelato, and a fresh blueberry sorbetto. Perfection.
We also went to the Reading Terminal Market on two separate days, and I'm so happy we did. We're both "foodies," at least as far as our budget permits, so this place was like heaven for us. Florida has NOTHING like this place, let me tell you. On our first trip there, I got the best Italian cold cut hoagie of my life from Salumeria (with the hot pepper relish but hold the artichokes), she got a pastrami sandwich on rye from Herschel's Deli (not nearly as good as Katz's Deli in NYC, but better than Toojay's, the only deli option in Orlando), and we shared the amazing sandwich of roast pork, super-sharp provolone cheese, and sweet roasted peppers from DiNic's. She wasn't impressed by this, but I loved it. I spaced out on getting it with broccoli rabe (I think the sign just said "greens"), so I went with the peppers instead. She also got an assortment of cupcakes and brownies from the Flying Monkey Bakery, but the cupcakes were almost universally disappointing. I, for one, think cupcakes are usually disappointing anyway. She loved the chocolate marshmallow ice cream from Bassett's, though. Before we left, she got me an assortment of beef jerky from one of the Amish butcher shops, and most of that was pretty good.
On our second trip to the RTM, we were a little better prepared, but a lot hungrier. I went back to Salumeria right away for a smaller Italian hoagie, and she started out with an eggplant hoagie that didn't seem very impressive to me. She loaded up on snickerdoodle cookies from one of the general stores (I forget the name), but they were chewy and fresh and perfect. That's also how I would describe a glistening hot pretzel from Miller's – chewy and fresh and perfect. It was surprisingly similar to the pretzels from Auntie Anne's, located in almost every mall in Orlando, and a real weakness of mine. Is that the standard style for Philadelphia's famous pretzels? I ask because I also tried a sourdough and fennel pretzel from the Metropolitan Bakery at RTM that was very disappointing in comparison. Before we left, she also got an apple dumpling and some sugar cookies from the Pennsylvania Dutch bakery near the back, and I got a rib sandwich from The Rib Stand to have later for dinner – another Chowhound recommendation that was well worth it.
My wife was sweet enough to treat me to a tiny sealed package of jamon iberico from one of the high-end cheesemongers. I love cured meats, and I've never tried this, apparently the Rolls-Royce of hams. We brought it back with us, and I'll bust it out for the next special occasion. Finally, we stopped by Delilah's, the soul food place in the middle, since The Oprah had said they have the best macaroni and cheese in the country. Honestly, it was okay… I've had better. We got a huge piece of fried chicken from Delilah's that was bland and dried-out, but you can't win them all.
I should explain that we didn't eat everything there, but brought a lot of food back to our hotel room for quiet dinners in, since we luckily had a mini-fridge. The area around Temple was pretty desolate as far as places to go within walking distance, and the food court in the student center was closed for the entire week. At least the trucks were out in force, and I did get to try a "Fatty" sandwich from the Sexy Green Truck (chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and marinara sauce), and a greasy, relatively disappointing cheesesteak and a stale pretzel from other random trucks. I definitely agree with everyone who said that DiNic's roast pork ought to be the official sandwich of Philadelphia, although the wonderful Italian hoagie from Salumeria would fit the bill quite nicely as well. Thanks to everyone who shared their advice and experiences!
re: Big Bad Voodoo Lou
Thanks for reporting back! I don't think the pretzel you had from Miller's Twist is the standard Philly soft pretzel, though I've only had one type of pretzel at Miller's it was as you described, similar to Auntie Anne's in texture. The typical Philly soft pretzel is thicker, more dense and chewy, and it looks more like a figure 8 than a 'normal' pretzel shape.
re: Buckethead
I had a pretzel that looked like that from a stand near the library at Temple, but it was awful -- stale and cold.
Auntie Anne's-style pretzels are my all-time favorites anyway.
re: Big Bad Voodoo Lou
BBVL: Please note: It's an Italian "lunch meat" hoagie. The words "cold cuts" are banned by City Ordinance. LOL!!! Too bad you missed breakfast at the RTM at the Dutch Eating Place.

DALLAS — Three is a magic number for the Baylor Lady Bears basketball team.A day after Oklahoma State came within three points of dethroning the two-time defending Big 12 champions, Baylor stormed over Iowa State 75-47, claiming its record-setting third straight tournament championship Monday at the American Airlines Center. But as this Baylor squad (32-1) faced the Big 12 for the last time with tournament MVP and history-making senior Brittney Griner, cutting down the nets after the conference tournament one last time seemed to be in the cards for the Lady Bears throughout Mondays finale.Winning never gets old, especially this one, Griner said. I think I speak for the five seniors. We definitely wanted to get this win. We wanted to celebrate this; everybody did. This is our last go-around with the Big 12.Iowa States defense keyed in on Griner to begin the game by stacking a four-man diamond zone in the low post, so Baylor went 3 for 5 from 3-point range in the first seven minutes.Iowa State (23-8) adapted and spread, which was a cue for Griner to dominate the low post for a game-high 31 points that tied her own Big 12 championship game record. Her 14 field goals surpassed the previous Big 12 championship record of 12, which she shared previously.Shes a unique talent, a very special player thats changed the dynamics certainly not of just Baylor basketball, but our league and the whole country, Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said.As if a 41-13 halftime score wasnt a big enough blow to the Cyclones, all hope of any kind of miracle comeback seemed to roll off the table with 30 seconds to play in the first half.ISU sophomore guard and Euless Trinity alumnus Nikki Moodys fast break layup attempt stalled on the back iron of the rim for what was nearly five seconds but seemed like an eternity before slowly rolling off the side of the rim and into Baylor guard Niya Johnsons hands.A career night for Griner wasnt all for the Lady Bears as junior guard Odyssey Sims caught fire from 3-point range in the second half, which led to her total of 20 points. Monday was Sims 21st double-figure scoring game this season.When you look at a kid that works that hard on the defensive end of the floor, its good to see her have an offensive production like that and shoot the ball well, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said.A 30-point Baylor lead late in the game gave Griner, Sims and senior Destiny Williams a chance to receive a moment of gratitude from the vastly pro-Baylor crowd as they each exited the game.The magic was far from finished, however, as Johnson threw up a shot clock-beating 3-pointer from 10 feet behind the arc only to watch it splash through the net with just a tick left on the game clock.The real stroke of luck will come in the next few days if the Bears receive the few days off from practice for which Sims and Griner jokingly pleaded on the postgame interview podium before beginning the journey through the NCAA Tournament.I think, like Brittney said, hopefully we get a couple days off, Sims said with a laugh. Whenever we start practicing again, well get out there; nothing will change. Working on the basics working on Baylor things that we normally work on getting focused [is] our main goal.
More information Quite a career Baylor's Brittney Griner will play her last college basketball game at some point in the NCAA Tournament. It will end the career of one of the greatest players in women's college basketball.

The non-certificated pilot departed Laurel, Montana, with his passenger at 0746 in the Piper PA-18-150. The wreckage was found shortly after noon the same day and there were no witnesses to the accident. Although the aircraft was extensively damaged by fire, 10-11 foot ground scars indicated a westerly track along the +5 degree up sloped terrain immediately followed by propeller slash marks 14 inches apart placing the aircraft's nose (longitudinal axis) along a west-southwest heading. The distance between the propeller slash marks and the final resting place of the aircraft's engine was 27.5 feet with the aircraft coming to rest with its longitudinal axis along an approximate north/south line (tail north). The leading edge of the left wing displayed aftward compressive damage characteristic of ground impact and the propeller spinner likewise showed aftward compressive damage. The right wing displayed no such damage. Propeller tip fragments were found embedded near the propeller ground slash marks and adjacent to the aircraft's tail. No control discontinuity nor mechanical malfunction was evident during the wreckage examination. A Garmin GPS III on board the aircraft provided 158 data points showing latitude/longitude and time beginning with the departure from Laurel and continuing up to a point coincident with the ground impact site. The track showed a marked left turn during the last moment of flight which terminated at 0807:22.

How to replace the overhead ambient lighting
For those of us with the ambient lighting, blue might not be our preference, but what can you do? Change it! This thread will give you most of the information you need to change the color/intensity of the overhead ambient lighting.
Step 1: Remove the map light lenses
Use a small screwdriver to GENTLY push and pry the lenses off.
Step 2: Release the center section clips
Using the small screwdriver, GENTLY pry the four clips circled in red while pulling down on the center section. NOTE: This is best done with the map lights off. They get very hot.
It will look like this.
Step 3: Disconnect the wiring harnesses
Insert the screwdriver into the clips on the wiring harnesses. They will be in the areas circled in red. If you can't figure this out, I suggest you put everything back together right now. Lol...
Step 4: Remove the "ambient light backplate" aka "the black cover thing".
Use the screwdriver to release the clips. There is one on the left and one on the right. The cover should just come off after that.
Step 5: Unplug the ambient lighting harness, desolder the stock LED, and solder the new LED.
You should see three components on the board. One is obviously the LED. It appears to be a standard 3mm flat-top. This means it probably has a fairly wide viewing angle, so the replacement should as well. The other items are a resistor and (most likely) a zener diode. I haven't measured the resistor, but it looks like a 470 ohm 1/4 watt +/-5% unit. If you get a LED compatible with that, it's just a LED swap. Otherwise, it's a LED and resistor swap. You shouldn't have to swap the zener diode. Correct me if I'm wrong!
I'll probably be swapping the resistor too, just to be safe. I'm ordering my replacements from China, along with several other LED's for v3.0 of my third brake light, but they won't be in for a while. I'll update this once I do the swap. I'm going with red, btw. The door handles and floor lighting will be swapped as well. and I might do a write-up for them when the time comes.

Not a fan of the blue or are you just doing something for the sake of doing it?
I like making my car different and I'm a little partial to red. I think it looks a little more upscale and a little less boy-racer. It goes better with the theme I have planned for the car as well.

I haven't gotten my LED's in yet. I said that in my post at the bottom.
Btw, This how-to might also be useful for anyone wanting to hard-wire their radar detectors. Tap the sunroof wire, fish it out to the windshield, and you're in business

Ah true. I read it too quickly and just took as it as you're ordering some LEDs for your brake light. Reading comprehension fail
Good write-up, and good pics! I don't have the ambient lighting, but if I did, I think I would change away from blue as well!
Good Job!!!
Never settle for mediocrity!

Excellent write-up! Might just have to follow your lead with the Speed3...red ambient lighting would probably follow the red/black theme better. Good job Derrick!
another great job Derrick!
can't wait till you tinker with the foot well lighting and find out how to wire it to turn on when the headlights are on

1/21 Photos of Ciabatta (Italian Slipper Bread)
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
16 hrs
20 mins
DH and I buy at least one loaf a week of ciabatta and eat it with olive oil. I finally decided to see it I could make a better bread than the brands we've tried from the store. We agreed that this is the best bread we've EVER had! The first loaf was gobbled before the second one came out of the oven! :) Can't wait to make it again!! Note: The dough will be VERY sticky - do not add more flour. The bread itself is not tall and fluffy. It has a wonderfully crisp, tender crust. It would be perfect for an Italian sandwich, if cut horizontally, of mozzarella, basil, tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and s&p.

Set in the supreme rural location of Bovingdon, by the
Chiltern Hills, this beautiful country hotel offers London without
the city price. The Bobsleigh Hotel in Hemel Hempstead is 25
minutes by train from the shops, restaurants and theatres of the
capital. You have plenty of reasons to stay local too, with our AA
Rosette restaurant and renowned attractions such as Whipsnade Zoo
We can confirm that The Bobsleigh Hotel will cease
trading with immediate effect. As a priority we are in
contact with all customers who have reservations at the hotel and
will make alternative arrangements with all couples with future
weddings booked.
Unfortunately the hotel is no longer operating at a
viable level and to upgrade the existing property to the same
standard of other Macdonald Hotels would require extensive
investment that is economically unviable. The company is keen
to ensure that all employees, where practical for the individual,
are re-deployed within the Macdonald Hotels' collection.
Macdonald Hotels also appreciates that this hotel is in many
ways also a part of the local community, making the decision to
close the hotel a very difficult one.
