Are you guys ready to ease into Spring yet? I know it seems a little bit weird to talk about Spring already especially since it's still technically February but our winter weather at least in Florida has been so mild we're already enjoying dinners on the back patio. If you had a chance to read Friday's post you've seen a peek at the gorgeous flowers that have arrived at our local home improvement store. We love flowers so of course we wanted to take all of them home.
While we're still working on the home office makeover, we're already dreaming of flower boxes and a few changes we're ready to make outside. I know this time of year can be tricky for planting though. My mom keeps saying, "don't plant anything until you know the chance of frost has passed" or "remember now, it can freeze until after Easter." Mommas are the best, right? Always looking out for their babies no matter how old they are.
So while we wait for the chance of frost to pass before we load the backs of our cars up with gorgeous plants and flowers we thought it would be a good time to at least start thinking and planning all of the fun ways we can ease into Spring. Here's a look at 17 of our favorites…
Begin Planning Container Gardens – container gardens are a great way to add color and texture to your front porch and patio areas without having to commit to a large area for cutting or vegetable garden. They're easy to maintain too as long as you pair plants together that require the same amount of water and sunlight.
Open the Windows – if you've had a case of cabin fever lately doing something as simple as opening the windows to let some fresh air in feels so good. If you're living in the South right now you know this is a great time of year to open the windows. There is almost no humidity and the temperatures feel down right balmy.
Organize Your Closets – Did you know most people have quit their New Year's Resolutions and Goals by February 15th? Yikes, right? If you fall into that category, start small with a linen or bathroom closet first. It will help you build confidence when you're moving on to other spaces in your house. If you're off track in other areas, read this post to help you get back on track.
If you're all, "CoCo, I got this – I've been organizing since January 1st" I'm so proud of you, keep up the great work!
Take a Picnic to the Park – Spring is a great time to get outdoors so pack a picnic lunch or snack and head to your local park, lake, beach or hiking trail. It's also a good time to dust off your bike, so pump up the tires on your beach cruiser and hit your favorite bike trail or ride have your family ride around the neighborhood bike brigade style. As always, practice proper bike safety habits!
Add More Greens to Your Diet – We've been making smoothies almost every day and eating more salads too. It's been fun to come up with different flavor combinations. It will depend on what area of the country or world (hello, sweet ladies in the Commonwealth) you live in but Spring in the US is usually a good time to find strawberries, apricots, cherries, oranges, limes and pineapples. You can also find a variety of lettuces, leafy greens, asparagus, rhubarb, broccoli, artichokes, peas and beans too.
Change Out Your Pillows and Accessories – I'm not talking about redecorating your whole house here, I'm talking about little things you can do to spruce things up. Adding spring touches around the house can be as easy as changing out your faux fur pillows for floral ones, adding flowers to your favorite spaces, incorporating spring colors throughout your home or even hanging a fresh towel in your kitchen.
Hang a Spring Wreath on the Front Door – Allow your front door to welcome you home with a cheery spring wreath. You can make one or buy one whatever works best for your schedule. Add a new doormat and your good to go. It may seem like small thing but you probably walk through your front door multiple times a day so make your entry and exit special.
Give an Old Piece of Furniture New Life – Have you been thinking, "I really should paint that _________ (fill in the blank)" If so, what are you waiting for? If there's something around your house you've been wanting to paint (barring anything that would change the value of the peice if it were painted) do your research, pick a paint color and get started. Paint really is a budget friendly way to get an old piece of furniture new life.
Find a Spring Signature Scent – Do you have a signature scent? Does your home? If not, now is a great time to find one. In the Winter we're all about oranges and cloves but once Spring arrives we switch to lemongrass scents. Find a scent you love and use it around your home or head to the perfume counter and find a signature scent that will make you feel confident all season long.
Buy a Pretty Floral Dress – Spring dresses have arrived online and in stores too! If you normally buy a new outfit for Easter (I know all you Southern ladies are shaking your heads right now) don't wait to find a dress you love. Start shopping and planning now for the holiday. You don't have to wait until Easter to wear florals though grab your best girlfriends and enjoy a relaxing brunch or surprise your spouse and get dressed up for a romantic dinner date.
Make Peace with Your Closet – So maybe you go out dress shopping and you're totally bummed you're not the size you want to be – make peace with where you are at right now. I'm not where I want to be as far as my weight goes either but that's not going to stop me from looking my best and I don't want it to stop you either. You're enough – right where you are – right now.
Pack Away Winter Blankets, Boots, Sweaters and Gear – Make room in your closet for your spring and summer items by packing away seasonal winter items now. Launder and clean all items before storing them. Keep clothing and blankets in a cool, dry, dark, clean place. Consider investing boot trees for your boots or packing them with tissue paper. Store snow gear in your basement or garage.
Spring Clean Your House – When's the last time you've cleaned your baseboards, fans, blinds or vents? It's been too long for me too. Spring cleaning the house feels like a rite of passage. Gather together your cleaning supplies and make a list of all of the spaces that need a good cleaning. Deep cleaning now will ease the guilt when you want to spend the day at the beach this summer ha ha.
Dive into a New Book – One of my girlfriends spends the winter collecting books she wants to read without interruption. Every spring she rents a place right on the water and reads the books she's collected cover to cover. Doesn't that sound so nice? You may not have a time to get away but you can make time to dive into a new book or magazine this season.
Schedule a Girls Trip – Give yourself something to look forward to this spring by planning a fun family trip or a weekend getaway with your best girlfriends. Spring is a great time to reconnect so make time to nurture and celebrate each other.
Buy Tickets for a Local Garden Tour – We try to go on a garden tour each spring benefiting our local garden club. We're always amazed at the variety of plants and flowers each home owner pairs together. The combinations are inspiring. Check your local garden club, historical society or Junior League for Spring events being hosted in your area.
Tackle a Home Improvement Project or Makeover – Most of us spend winter nesting which means we've spent a lot of time perusing blogs, books, magazines and Pinterest for ideas. Whether you have plans to redo your home office or you have plans to refresh your back patio now is the time to gather all your ideas, make a plan, buy your supplies and get started. That way by summer you'll be enjoying the fruits of your labor.Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
Many blessings,

The most important thing first:
Do not miss the introductory week!
For a good start into your studies, correctly we strongly recommend that you as new student participate in the introductory week! At the beginning of October, prior to the start of the term, general and study-course related events provide all important information on the studies. The concrete program is displayed ► here timely before your studies.
Read the study and examination regulations!
The study and examination regulations contain all rules related to your study course and is important for the entire duration of your studies. You should print these regulations right at the beginning of your studies, read it and keep it. Watch carefully if changes of the regulation occur throughout your studies.
The study and examination regulations that apply for your study course are displayed on your faculty's website.
In some study courses (particularly one-subject bachelor) you get a timetable that leaves you only few options. In two-subject study courses and teaching profession studies, you have more options and may compose your timetable yourself. The rules of what you may chose usually are determined by the "Study-course specific study and examination regulations" (SPSO). Particularly those students who compose their time schedule themselves make for the student timetable construction service use of the ► Central Course Catalogue (LSF) or the Online Platform ► stud.IP. To properly handle these portals, please, use the following instructions:
Study timetable - Information for New Students
This instruction is also available at the info service of the Student Service Center.
Support with elaborating the study timetable is also provided by the student body of the relevant institute.
Note that in addition to your first and second modules, you must also occupy modules in the interdisciplinary elective area (IDWB). For further information, please refer to ► Website of the Faculty of Humanities.
Depending on the subject combination, there may be overlaps between the two subjects. If this is the case, you should indicate the overlap at the Central Examination and Study Office for Teachers (ZPA). The ZPA is also your contact for all other topics relevant to the examination during the pedagogic study.
► Websites of the Central Audit Office for Teaching Students (ZPA)
The advanced students are happy to assist their young "fellow teachers" when it comes to arranging timetables, registering for seminars and practical trainings or handling overlapping lectures.
True to the motto "Student teachers of all subjects unite", the SLK creates a union of all pedagogic students. The SLK is pleased to welcome new, committed, smart and dynamic student teachers in its team!

Dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth. Depending on the patients needs either partial or full dentures may be required. There are two types of full dentures, conventional full dentures and immediate full dentures.Conventional Full Dentures are when all teeth are missing and before the dentures are set the gum tissue is given time to heal. It is common for patient's gums to take up to a few months to heal properly, patients will have to go without teeth for the duration.
Immediate Full Dentures is a more taxing procedure where the mouth is not given time to heal before the dentures are set in place. The immediate benefit is that the patients does not spend time without teeth. However follow up visits are required since your jaw bone will change shape while it heals. When the jaw bone changes shape the dentures will need to be refitted. After it has finished healing completely the dentures will need to be tightened.
In the cases where a partial denture would be used it will act similar to how a dental bridge would with the exception of not being a permanent fixture in the mouth.
Dentures regardless of being full or partials will take time to adjust to. Patients often say things ranging from dentures feeling loose to not enough room for their tongue to rest. After a while the mouth becomes trained to the dentures and adjusts accordingly. They may never feel like your natural teeth but they sure beat not having teeth at all.
Dentures just like real teeth require care, you should brush them to remove plaque and food particles. After removal you should submerge them in a denture cleaning solution. Be aware that hot water could warp the dentures. As durable as some patients think their dentures are, dentures should be handled with care and make sure not to drop them. Also please them any denture adjustments to our staff and do not try to adjust your dentures yourself. Please contact us immediately if your dentures feel uncomfortable or loose.

EMF Community, time for moving on Eclipse4 thanks to the Extended Editing Framework 2.0!
Since Juno, Eclipse4 is the default platform for the Eclipse Community. It's time for the project to think about migrating on this new base. This year, the Extended Editing Framework (EEF) project will propose its new stream 2.0. Among the new abilities of this version, the ease of creating modeling applications based on Eclipse4 will be a major feature for the Eclipse community.
This session will present the technical aspects of the new EEF version which will easily allow to use the Eclipse4 platform to create new generation EMF-based applications. Fully structured by OSGi services and independent from the presentation technology, this new version of EEF will show by demonstrations the way to quickly create modeling application using Eclipse4 as platform and JavaFX as rendering technology.
Finally, the conclusion of this session will discuss the transition of modeling applications to the web through projects like Orion...

Yes, I have reinstalled Java several times. I have closed / open browser too. As for Test Java - it says unable to verify Java installed on this computer.
Please try running the Java test on another internet browser (not Google Chrome).
Question owner
Java test didn't work on Firefox or IE. I went through everything in the Troublshooter. Still didn't work. Manually deleted all versions of Java. Rebooted the computer and reinstalled Java. Closed and Opened Firefox. Re-tesdted Java - still doesn't work.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon.

There is a setting in the Java applet in the Windows Control Panel to prevent Java from running in your browsers. It seems unlikely this would have been turned on by accident, but if you are in a managed environment, it's possible it's an IT setting. You could check just in case.
Windows Control Panel > Java (32-bit)
(If you view your CP by category, check Programs)
Then visit the Security tab (screen shot attached).
Also, please try scanning for registry errors after you uninstall all of the Java programs. This can be done using CCleaner.
Also ensure that you remove all Java application data and the program directory from your computer's hard drive before reinstalling it.
WARNING: Removing folders/files can cause damage to other programs and the Windows operating system. use caution when manually deleting folders/files. Creating a backup of any deleted files is highly recommended!
Question owner
After the re-install, I checked the Java control panel - security tab and the box to enable java on browser was un-checked (maybe default with install) Anyway, it works now. Thanks for your help, I couldn't have done it without you.

Hi I am Paul, Founder of Outdoor Guerrilla (that guy with the camera there, thats me!) A little bit about me - ever since I was a child I fell in love with everything outdoors (probably because I come from the old school generation and was quite wild as a child) The latter combined with the fact that almost all of the fun at the time (1984) was happening outside - hiking, climbing, playing ball made me a lifelong outdoor fan.
Fast forward to 2016, I decided to quit my job, since I wasn't happy at all with sitting in the office all day, it was a no brainer for me to start a store around my hobby.
Outdoor Guerrilla was born out of our passion for the outdoors and everything tactical. Me and the team have a saying between - If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Everyone of us who has been in a survival situation, knows how important it is to have the right gear within reach. That is why, at Outdoor Guerrillas myself and the team aim to provide high quality gear to our growing and passionate community of outdoor and survival enthusiasts at affordable prices, no matter whether you are a pro or just starting out, there is something for everyone here!

3 Trends to Watch For in RFID-Based Authentication
Anti-counterfeiting methods like holograms, special inks, and tamper-evident closures help industries reduce shrink and maintain brand protection. But how effective are they?
Because these strategies require visual authentication by a worker somewhere in the supply chain, all products must be read or scanned within line-of-sight. Which means a checker can handle just a single product at a time. Pretty inefficient.
That's why pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers are turning to radio frequency identification (RFID) to ensure the safety and security of end-users while keeping their products out of the black market.
But industry insiders warn users of the technology that it's not enough to simply deploy RFID tags on products. Just like other integral business systems, companies must understand how the solution fits their product and proceed accordingly.
In that vein, VDC Research predicts that "RFID-based product authentication solutions are poised to drive the next wave of adoption of RFID technology in the near-term." And they offer three trends to watch for.
(1) RFID authentication solutions will be vertical specific. For suppliers hoping to capture a larger share of this market, it's important not to deploy cookie cutter solutions. For success, RFID suppliers must uncover the specific needs of each enterprise and incorporate them in authentication solutions.
(2) RFID is a critical component for our digital world. Companies who don't see the value in RFID-based authentication may look at this solution as just another technology. But VDC Research explains why that's not so, "RFID-enabled product authentication is emerging as a foundational element of highly-automated business processes and more dynamic supply chains."
(3) The next 24-36 months will signal significant changes for RFID authentication. New and existing RFID solutions deployed in the next few years should include authentication technology. And suppliers must understand the need to build awareness and understanding among customers when advocating new and upgraded solutions.
You can find out more in the VDC Research report called Product Authentication & Anti-Counterfeiting: The Next Wave of Adoption for RFID.

Have you already decided which brand are you going to be obsessed with for your Spring-Summer long run? Well, for those that do not entirely know, I am completely addicted to shoes. Ok, I am also addicted to handbags (which women isn't, right?), but the truth is that I have a major thing for shoes.
Sure, we are all (still) recovering from the beautiful clothes and shoe-game that we all have laid our eyes on during this last fashion shows season, but does anyone puts so much emphasis on shoes like I normally do?
If you do a little and very brief research, you will notice an almost infinite feed of posts that revolve around clothes, patterns, color schemes and accessories – however, the highlight normally stays within the waist-up range (meaning hair clips and hair bands (as seen on Alexander Wang), hats and, of course, bumbags, belt bags and translucent handbags (as see on Staud Clothing).
So, I've just decided to do an Edit of some shoes (from flat to platform ones) just to give you a hint of how great this SS18 will be, jut by adding vivid and romantic tones of red, pink and of course, by including our forever showstopper black. I could go over beautiful and well-known brands (because, let's be real, the stakes are high nowadays) but today I found it super necessary to mention Friendly Fire, a Portuguese shoe brand led by two powerful and bright young women – which is a BIG #timeisup inspiration – that have been working a lot to spread their brand across the Globe.
Are you curious about Friendly Fire SS18 collection? You better be, just because I' have already chosen seven pairs from the entire collection and they are just incredible versatile, not only in style, colors, but also in terms of mood of the day. By the way, they are from another galaxy and will – most definitely – make you feel comfortable, confident and on trend.
1) Iris Gingham Ballet – for those days that we are, certainly, about avoiding high heels, but still focused on putting some gingham-inspired best self, these are definitely the ones to call for.
2) Anna Red Stones – "tamancos" is the Portuguese word for clogs and they are typically used by women when they were plowing the land in order to keep humidity away. The truth is that they became pretty famous, mostly know that wearing socks with opened shoes is such a major hit, right? These ones are my favorite just because the red stones really call it for a sensual mood.
3) Jane Black Gladiador – black was spotted a lot of times during the most prestigious SS18 catwalk shows. You were able to see it during Diane Von Furstenberg and Vetements as well, so, please be my guest and just contemplate these gladiator boots for (of course) legs with no end in sight.
4) Jane Black Mules – Of course, if you've loved Jane in a gladiator style, you will definitely love them as mules. Why? it is simply a must-have since last AW17, so you better run for the price since it will stay as a go-to accessory. Mules can used as a statement by pairing them with electrifying colors and graphics or just by letting them complete your overall look without suffocating the entire outfit.
5) Gala High-top Gingham – I know that we are living in a Dad Shoes kind of Era and that is completely fine. However – I think I should ask for it nicely – we should never forget the beautiful ones as well. Although it may have the normal size for a sneaker (the n-o-r-m-a-l) you shouldn't put them in a corner. Have fun by being feminine, light and super bubbly.
6) Gala Black Gingham – If your style is a more clean, minimal and neutral kind one you sure are going to love this all white everything version. Ok, spoiler alert, you will find a hingham black and white pattern on top of the sneaker.
7) Frida Raspberry – Well, these flat shoes are surely a Susie Bubble and Naomi Shimada kind of color palette, so you better run for these if you love to spend your Summer wearing red – by the way, one of the most coveted colors for 2018. Now, imagine gingham and raspberry cartoons. Perfection on your feet.

Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
Click on any picture for larger format (make sure photo is not FIT TO PAGE)
These wheels came with my 240z when I bought it. They are nice looking aluminum wheels. Refinishing aluminum wheels is essentially the same for every wheel. However, the design and intracacies of each wheel will vary the time needed to refinish them. The finish on the wheels was getting pretty dull. They had plenty of lime build up as well as dirt and brake dust through the years. The car basically sat four years before I bought it, so the wheels were weathered as well. So, it was time to refinish them. I refinished a set of wheels on my 84 Z31, so I've been there. I took a slightly different approach on these wheels, but was looking for the same result (polishing the untextured surfaces). You can also refer to the link just shown for detail on a simpler wheel (though this wheel is pretty simple, too).
Click on any picture for larger format (make sure photo is not FIT TO PAGE)
I had another reason to do a bit of work on these wheels -- they are a unilug design. Each lug hole is slightly oblong, allowing use of this wheel for a couple 4 lug patterns. Turns out one of the previous owners was idiotic and used acorn (steel wheel) nuts to put them on, which tapered the lug holes. This made the wheels even harder to install because the acorn lugs displaced some aluminum into the holes. One wheel that was particularly abused was nearly impossible to mount. The lugs were later replaced with proper lugs by another owner, but a few didn't have washers and were doing damage, too. In each lug hole, there was a small bump on each side, probably to keep the lugs steady, but they were worn out a bit from the poor applications used previously. Since the now correct lugs had some rust and wear, I bought a complete new set of lugs for the wheels - much nicer. I asked on Z31.com what the model and brand might be - the Western Cyclone was suggested, and it looks pretty similar. Then I stumbled upon a link on AtlanticZ on cleaning wheels. Exact same wheel! The Western Wheels "Hurricane". The basic spoke design is referred to as a turbine.
Picture of Western Cyclone 2 (Left) - Same Wheel as mine on Another Z (Right)
The correct, though beat up lugs (left). The damage left from acorn lugs (right)
Unilug design -- oval lug hole allows for use on two 4-bolt patterns -- but also makes it a bit tougher to mount
Tapered edge on back allows use of steel center caps on this aluminum wheel
The wheels had an American Racing center cap. They were pretty much all pitted with little specs of rust and there were some small dents in all but one. The two front center caps were frozen into the wheels (I had to use a sledge to pop them out). Anyway - onto refinishing.
First things first -- wear gloves (latex at the very least) and wear eye protection! I started by cleaning the wheels the best I could with Simple Green in a hot water solution, Scotch-Brite pads, and plastic bristel brushes. The balancing weights were removed prior to cleaning (I used some pliers and a flat head screwdriver - careful). Using some brake cleaner might help a bit, but usually the stuff that's stuck on isn't ready to come off. Rinse off the wheels with clean water and get them dry for the next step. In my case, I got a Dremel with a small drum sander bit and carefully removed that metal displaced in the lug holes. Obviously you want to remove the least amount of metal possible in the lug holes -- they need to fit in their with no slop!
Now, you can opt to use paint stripper to remove the clear coat. Paint stripper usually works very well for this (I use Kleen-Strip spray on stripper). It cleans very well, but it will remove ALL the clear coat. I'm refinishing (polishing) only the smooth surfaces because I didn't want to mess with the textures areas. I don't plan on re-clear coating, just using aluminum polish regularly. If you try to polish the textured areas, not only is it very tough, but you'll usually get inconsistent results.
Next, I sanded down the center section with a palm sander. Don't go heavy. You just want to remove the machine lines and get it smooth. Then, go for the wheel wire brush. If you have a compressor and die-angle grinder, you are in great luck. I don't think a drill would be good enough. Others have suggested Scotch Pad disks -- I don't have experience with those.

Get a course wheel brush and go at it. You will learn to angle your die grinder tool correctly so it doesn't hop around. Basically, you don't want to have the brush rotating "against" any edges or it will catch and jump. Check the rotation of the wheel and make sure it goes with the angles so it slides off instead of resisting. The wheel turned clockwise looking from the back of the tool. You may also have to lay the tool at an angle for some work. Be careful not to allow the center of the wire brush to rub against the aluminum as it will mark it up quickly. Here is the routine I created for each wheel -- you are trying to be consistent, so you will either want to lift the tool and turn the tire occasionally, or move yourself around the tire as you go. Remember to wear gloves and eye wear -- I took these pictures after I finished with the wire wheel, not in operation :) You may also want a long sleeve shirt because the little wires will occasionally fly off at high speed and hit you! They can stick in your skin, honestly.
1. Go around the outer rim (try to avoid hitting the tire). You can lay the brush straight up as shown. Remove residue until it shines. Remember to turn the wheel or move yourself around as you go. Your results will be more consistent and learning "touch" with the tool will come.
2. Get the inside of the outer lip by setting the wheel against the edge, but tipped up and slighty forward (see picture), being careful not to rub the center of the wire brush against the edges.
3. Get the flat part of the outer lip. Notice how I flipped the tool and still hold it at a slight angle. This will keep it from jumping around on the edge of the lip.
4. Go around the edge of the center circle. Just hold at a slight angle and go around. Hold the valve stem away from the brush when you are close to it (a great time to have those gloves).
5. Focus on each spoke ensuring to change the surface appearance entirely as you go over it. Since the spokes curve, you'll want to turn the tool as you move along. Hold the valve stem away from the wire brush when you do the adjacent spokes.
6. Make a final brushing around the center section and try not to go to heavy on the lug holes. Notice the angle again.
I used the course wheel TWICE, reversing direction the 2nd time around. Then I followed up once with the fine wire brush. Each time you want to change the "grain" of each surface. I tried to work out the factory machine lines. Sometimes the aluminum just smears, leaving a bit of a rough surface. It's o.k...these are preliminary steps that will save you a lot of sanding. Trust me, sanding each wheel from scratch and getting a consistent, level result would take days per wheel. After these three go arounds, the wheels started to take on a good look, but they are still far from done.
7. Follow up doing the exact process, but this time with an abrasive wheel. Now you are creating a flat surface to start standing. If any machine lines were not eliminated before, they should be eliminated now. Remember that you won't be able to sand them down without hours of work. Be sure to wear your eye protection. The abrasive wheel will slowly wear down as you go and it will flick off little pieces of itself at you. When you work on the spokes, use a VERY LIGHT touch. If the wheel hits those edges hard, it will very quickly rip away. Since these babies are about $6-$10 each, you don't want to wear it out this quickly. Note that you could still have some small pits in your surfaces from age and road wear. You simply will have to forget about these little marks. Eliminating them would require way too much grinding and would probably result in very uneven surfaces. I didn't even check to see if this was the finest abrasive wheel I could get. If there is one finer, it would be good to use this one, then the finer. Anything like this would help eliminate lots of sanding time.
Here are the results of using the wire wheel brushes and abrasive disc (below). Next is the nitty gritty.
At this point, it's time for laborious wet sanding. You should have some good direction surfaces to work against. Start with 220 grit and a soapy water solution. Work each flat surface thoroughly. The first grit is the most important! You don't want to go through a bunch of grits only to find you didn't do a good job on the first. As it gets smoother, the black residue will decline and you will notice that each time you sand in one direction you will create new scuff marks, while the crossing marks will virtually disappear. To remove a bit more material faster (where you see deeper lines or blemished), do small, quick circles, then go back over them with straight sanding. When you get to that stage where each pass makes a new set of lines, you can move on to 400, then 800, then 1000, and if you're diligent, 1500 (this can vary based on what you find in stores). Don't worry. Each grit becomes easier and easier and takes less time, as long as that first grit got you down flat. You will slowly start to see the wheels develop a great look. Between grits, I cleaned up the aluminum oxide (dust) with clean water and a worn scotch pad. As the grits got higher, I used less pressure to clean. Cleaning will help you see any problem areas that need more work, and keep harsh pieces of sand, etc that could get caught between the wheel and sand paper as you work -- not a good situation.
When you are done with 1500, dry off the wheel. Get MOTHER'S ALUMINUM wheel polish. Get a clean cloth, take a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of paste and work it in. You will start to see an incredible finish. Work it in good, then wipe off and polish with a clean cloth. HOLY CRAP! All your work was worth it!
I started with P220 (P400 shown above) after using the abrasive wheel (on all but the center, which was already smoothed out)
Here is the first finished wheel - I'm not done with all of them yet (sanding remains on other 3). Compare with the wheel underneath, which has had wirebrush completed! Really no comparison.
Notice the small pits in the finish -- it would take a lot of sanding to get these out. Don't worry about them. Just character ;)
I STRONGLY SUGGEST doing one wheel first (at least from the sanding stage) then moving on to the next. Do one a day and it won't be frustrating. Plus, once you have one wheel done, it will motivate you to do the others! One last note. When you have the wheels done, remember that you have a very smooth, but soft surface (aluminum). Take care to polish them when needed to avoid staining and don't polish them if they are dirty or they will scratch.
As this is a project that requires quite a bit of patience (probably 3.5-4 hours per wheel with 2+ of that being hand sanding), take your time. If you schedule one wheel a day, you probably won't disappoint yourself. The result of each will may vary a little. If you take your time, each wheel will probably look better because of your sanding skills. If you're in a hurry, the first will probably look good and the quality of work on others will degrade. Make this your mantra: MAY THE FIRST BE THE WORST!
Here are the new caps I should receive in the next couple days (not that I'll be done with the wheels yet) -- got them from SummitRacing for $4.95 each.

If you have been following our blog, you are familiar with the pitfalls associated with borrowing money from payday lenders. On the surface, this option may seem a safe one because the loans are capped at $1500 with fees or 35 percent of monthly grossed income, limited to a 90 day period and are debited from checking accounts. Problems mount when funds originally designated for repayment are allocated to purchase food, medicine, rent or other basic living expenses. Individuals required to renew their loans can be assessed administration fees in addition to paying interest rates as high as 565 percent. In Wisconsin, there is no cap on the annual interest of payday loans.
Help when you need it or legalized loan sharking?
Read this article from today's Journal Sentinel to see how payday lenders get around the very laws designed to regulate them.

Imbibe on its own or devour with seafood such as grilled prawns with fresh lemon.
Meticulous effort from our viticulture team ensured the vineyards delivered clean, concentrated, and balanced fruit jam packed with classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc flavours. The fruit was gently crushed and pressed, and the clear juice was run off for a cool ferment with yeast chosen to highlight the punchy aromatics of this variety. After a short period ageing on lees, the wine was blended and bottled.

These are just a couple of gems that made it out of Scarlet's mouth while we were at the Grand Canyon. The GRAND CANYON!!! If whomever wants to marry Scarlet ever reads this they will learn that they really have some work cut out for them. Despite her ennui, she and Brody earned another Junior Ranger Badge. This was the first one earned since Oregon caves in September.

We spent an entire day riding around the shuttle and taking photos from every single vantage point offered. At about stop 27 the girls had enough. They preferred to spray each other with their water bottles. Also at stop 27 mom got tired of pushing everyone along to keep with the schedule. It was time for home-school life-skills practical learning. The girls missed the bus and were left behind to fend for themselves at a very scenic view.
We figured one of two things would happen, either they would sit still and wait to be rescued or they would figure out how to get back to our meeting point. Turns out they did a little of both they waited for us to come get them and when they realized we weren't coming back they found their way to our rendezvous.
Now we will see how many people get to read this before Brent tells me to change it lest people judge our parenting. We don't have jobs and we live in an RV. I think people already have an opinion 😉

Today we will discuss the ongoing alcohol problems at our highly esteemed state institution for higher learning in Boulder, a school known as "CU," which stands for Cirrhosis University.
This week's revelation: Administrators at the school, formerly known as the University of Colorado, have spent $508,000 on booze over the past five years.
As I understand it, a sizable portion of that liquor was consumed by the school mascot, Ralphie the Buffalo, prior to this year's football game against Oklahoma. Which would explain why Ralphie had that ridiculous grin on his face and spent the entire game trying to hump the Sooners' covered wagon.
The state auditor's office said the massive booze purchases by the public university "fall outside accepted practices for public agencies in Colorado." On a more positive note, experts say spending half a million dollars on liquor does fall well within the accepted practices for brunch at actor Nick Nolte's house.
At the same time that they were spending the $508,000 on alcohol -- from 1999 to 2004 -- CU administrators were complaining that the school was under-funded by the state. The same administrators who approved the liquor purchases say the university is going broke and needs a drastic increase in tuition fees. The additional money would apparently be used to pay for typical expenses such as salaries, library improvements and, in all administration building restrooms, padded toilet seats so the dedicated university leaders don't keep getting those red welts on their foreheads when they're throwing up.
(And we wonder why the school mascot is named "Ralph.")
Liquid food supplies
The university's liquor spending frenzy was uncovered by Rocky Mountain News reporters Todd Hartman and Kevin Vaughan and was detailed in a story published last weekend.
(Our village's daily newspaper didn't have that story. Coincidentally, however, during the same five-year period in which CU spent $508,000 on booze as chronicled by the Denver newspaper, Gazelle editor Sharon Peters also spent exactly $508,000 to have her office repainted 1,400 times.)
Here are some of the actual highlights of CU's spending spree:
A 2002 purchase by the university's department of psychiatry was listed as "food supplies" but the products purchased were wine and beer. The only non-alcohol item on the receipt was the $10 delivery charge.
It's possible the department of psychiatry just made a simple, honest error on its accounting sheet. Still, having issues with their mothers, feelings of inadequacy due to small penis size and a tendency toward drinking problems and pathological lying may also have played a small role.
In two separate incidents in 2003, the university bought kegs of beer for functions in its geography department.
The first function, as I understand it, was an all-university contest in which the winner chugged 26 cups of beer and correctly named "East Dakota" as the largest state bordering Maryland and won a two-week, all-expenses-paid ski trip to Nigeria.
(Details about the second function were sketchy, but university sources said it ended shortly after midnight when two freshmen lurched up onto the roof of the geography building and dropped a Rand-McNally globe through the windshield of a car being driven by university president Betsy "99 Bottles of Beer On the Wall" Hoffman.)
The Rocky story pointed out that throughout the five-year booze-buying spree by school officials, the same officials "have repeatedly expressed dismay at CU's national ranking as a top 'party' school."
The university says such a party-school ranking is unfair, and that such a designation is a classic case of a few bad pimento-stuffed cocktail olives ruining the whole jar.
Staggering discovery
More from the report:
CU's School of Engineering hosts seven gatherings a year -- all featuring liquor purchased by the university -- "to recognize faculty and staff achievements."
Last month, for example, engineering professor Gondracke Schmidlap was honored after unveiling blueprints, drawn on a bar napkin, showing a 750-foot suspension bridge inside the Eisenhower Tunnel. (In September, engineer Schmidlap was recognized for his revolutionary work in the area of 100-percent cotton dams.)
Another interesting discovery: Of the $508,000 spend on booze, a staggering (ha!) $336,000 of it was spent at the Liquor Mart in Boulder, which just happened to be co-owned by longtime CU athletic director Dick Tharp.
This issue involving CU and its athletic director's liquor store raises two very important points. First, I believe a public institution should refrain from engaging in business practices that seem to hold a conflict of interest.
Second, and maybe even more important, I'm pretty sure if you try to say "Dick Sharp" when you're drunk it comes out sounding like "Dick Tharp" and everyone at the party has a good laugh.
The exception would be Ralphie the buffalo.
Because there's nothing funny about having too much to drink and getting your thing stuck in the wooden spokes of a covered wagon on national television.

text: I have been trying to figure out how I can sync my facebook contacts to my contacts on my phone. On the S3 it was very easy. Has anyone else with a Moto X been able to do this? I don't want to pay for another app to do this and I would rather not use another app at all but if that's the only way then i'll try it. I commented in another thread that was in the S4 section by mistake so I hope that this one can stay open since i'm trying to just find out from other Moto X users.

2011 Penfolds Bin 389, Cabernet Shiraz
Red | Ready, but will improve | Penfolds | Code: 24175 | 2011 | Australia > South Australia | Cab.Sauvignon | Medium-Full Bodied, Dry | 14.5 % alcohol
Comprised of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Shiraz, this is possibly the finest of the 'Bin' wines – it certainly sees the largest demand. The great Penfold's Caberbnet, Bin 707, was not produced in 2011, so a portion of this fine Cabernet fruit finds its way into the blend this year, as does some exceptional Shiraz from de-classified Grange components.
Full bodied, dark fruit, powerful and layered. There are notes of tapenade, mocha and roast meats, with a little oak derived vanilla in the background. Long tannins, balanced acidity – Little not to like here, very impressive. Approachable from 2016 , but this will reward long term cellaring and can be enjoyed through until 2030.

Scores and Reviews
The Wine Advocate
The Wine Advocate - A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Shiraz, the very deep purple-black colored 2011 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is a little youthfully mute, showing cassis and black cherries on the nose alongside hints of pencil shavings, licorice, chocolate, pepper and meat. More cedar flavor shows up in the firm and structured, medium-bodied palate marked by a high level of grainy tannins, a lively acid backbone and a long finish. It needs time in bottle. 5,130 9L case imported to the US. Drink 2015 to 2025+.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 27/02/2014
Jancis - Very dark. Rich fruit, the oak in the background. Cassis and blackberry. Some declassified Grange and 701 in this year. Some red barrel ferment. Very Cabernet on the palate, fresh refined cassis. There's a really fine tight structure of acid and tannin but filled out with the beautifully juicy fresh fruit. Long. Gago suggests this 2011 should be broached before the 2008 and 2010 vintages.
Julia Harding, MW - jancisrobinson.com - February 2014
Other - A wine from the 2011 vintage that overtly benefits from Bin 707's relegation from the vintage.Often dubbed 'Baby Grange', partly because ex-Grange barrels are used to mature the wine, this is one of the staples of Penfolds portfolio.
A balancing act of fruit and oak has achieved a full-bodied, voluminous liquid, with notes of spice and coffee, Christmas pudding and black olives. Technically tricky weather conditions meant that excellent vineyard management and fruit selection were vital to this wine's success – but that it is a success is beyond question.
Peter Gago - Chief Winemaker, Penfolds

The Producer
The quality of Penfolds' red wines is simply world-class; nowhere else will you get such great wine for such good value. Penfolds Grange, without doubt Australia's greatest red wine, is also recognised as one of the worlds' finest.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
The most famous red wine grape in the world and one of the most widely planted.
It is adaptable to a wide range of soils, although it performs particularly well on well-drained, low-fertile soils. It has small, dusty, black-blue berries with thick skins that produce deeply coloured, full-bodied wines with notable tannins. Its spiritual home is the Médoc and Graves regions of Bordeaux where it thrives on the well-drained gravel-rich soils producing tannic wines with piercing blackcurrant fruits that develop complex cedarwood and cigar box nuances when fully mature.
The grape is widely planted in California where Cabernet Sauvignon based wines are distinguished by their rich mixture of cassis, mint, eucalyptus and vanilla oak. It is planted across Australia and with particular success in Coonawarra where it is suited to the famed Terra Rossa soil. In Italy barrique aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a key component in Super Tuscans such as Tignanello and Sassicaia, either on its own or as part of a blend with Sangiovese.
The Region
At 72,000 hectares, South Australia is the engine room of the country's wine industry, responsible for 43 percent of its vineyards and encompassing some of Australia's most famous fine wine regions.
One of the most important areas in qualitative terms is the Barossa Valley, beginning 50km north-east of Adelaide, and famous for its full-bodied Shiraz, as well as for its Grenache and Mourvèdre. To the east, the cool Eden Valley is home to some really fine Riesling and top-class Shiraz, such as that made by Henschke. To the north of Barossa is the Clare Valley, also a source of good Riesling but home to well-structured reds as well.
South-east of Adelaide lies the delightful vineyard area of the Adelaide Hills, where fine Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir are produced by wineries such as Petaluma and Llangibby Estate. Langhorne Creek to the east of Adelaide has earned a reputation for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Verdelho and Shiraz while, between Adelaide and the sea, McLaren Vale is a noted area for red wines.
The unique vineyard region of Coonawarra lies 400km south-east in an area of pure limestone topped by a loose, red topsoil. Cool enough to resemble Bordeaux, this area produces great Cabernets and Merlots and is much in demand. Slightly to the north and to the west lie the regions of Padthaway and Mount Benson respectively, which enjoy similar success as sources of great white wines, especially Chardonnay. Wrattonbully however is known for its fresh, varietally-pure Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
However it's the less-distinguished Riverland region that accounts for 50 percent of the state's wine production.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: War and Peace (not about the book) (07/07/11)
- TITLE: The Mission
By Joe Moreland
"Orders are orders," he repeated wordlessly to himself.
Outside the door, Adam paused to steel himself to the task at hand. The trick, he knew, was going to be the entry. Getting inside the room and making a clean shot was going to be difficult. The target was on high alert and would be listening for any sound that was out of place. As he continued to ponder the situation, an answer suddenly presented itself.
With a loud pop the air conditioning unit labored into action. Adam grinned. That sound would cover the sound of him opening the door. All he had to do was wait until it shut off and cycled on again. He'd heard the sound just a few minutes ago, too, on his way up, so he knew it wouldn't be long.
Adam settled in, his hand hovering over the doorknob with a soldier's patience. These moments of stillness were the most difficult. There was a peaceful quiet in the air that he knew was about to be shattered by shocking violence. While he waited Adam carefully avoided the thought of what would happen once the mission was complete. Deep in the heart of the enemy's territory there would be no escape. - he had known it from the start.
"No escape. No capture." Another silent mantra.
The A/C unit shut off. It wouldn't be long now. His sweaty hand grasping the doorknob, Adam waited for the "pop". Timing would mean everything now. When it came, he almost didn't react fast enough - just barely managing to quickly and smoothly open the door and slip inside the room undetected.
Immediately he went into a well practiced crouch and moved to the nearest cover, which was a tall dresser. Peaking around the corner, Adam spotted his target sitting at a desk, back turned towards him.
"Perfect." He thought. "All I have to do now is move quietly into position for the shot.." Adam could see that the target was writing furiously. "Apparently, just in time. Those must be the plans."
Lisa was frantically scribbling out her notes when she suddenly felt something wet dripping down the side of her face. At first, it never occurred to her that she had been shot; she thought it must a leak from the air conditioning vent. The second shot, however, she felt.
"Adam!" She screamed, as she leapt from her chair. It took only a moment to register that her notes were soaked and for true rage to set in, then she turned just in time to see her, now fleeing, brother race from the room, slamming the door behind him.
In a heartbeat Lisa was through the door after him, screaming all the way.
Lisa paused in the hallway, trying to figure out which way he would run. To his room? To the temporary safety of mom and dad?
Then she saw it. A trail of water running back towards the stairs. She smiled.
"Big mistake, little brother. There's nowhere for you to hide downstairs. READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!"
Confidence can be your undoing, however, as Lisa found out when she got plastered with water again at the bottom of the stairs. She recovered quickly however, snatching a cushion from the sofa and beginning her pursuit with weapon in hand.
The furious big sister's first shot was fired with deadly accuracy at a skinny back as Adam made a dash for the hallway that lead to the dining room. The cushion caught him dead center between the shoulder blades and sent him sprawling to the floor. Before he could realize what happened Lisa was on him and wrested the super soaker from his hands, unloading it all over his head, and then tossing it across the room.
Now the fight was on in earnest.
Upstairs, in the master bedroom, mom and dad sat up in bed and wondered what had happened to their briefly peaceful existence.
With a groan of despair, mom looked askance at dad.
"You just HAD to have a boy."

Results tagged "Helicopters" from Kazza the Blank One
Think I slept fairly well last night. Although I finally remembered to run sleep cycle which indicated I was somewhat restless till quite late (but that's pretty normal). The pillow was a bit thick for my liking, but then I realised this morning there's another one that's squishy so will use that tonight.
Breakfast was ok this morning.
After breakfast we headed up into Carnarvon Gorge.
We walked up with the rest of the group and the guide for a while, but mum wanted to show me the Amphitheatre, so we made a break with one of the other guys and walked up to it. It was quite spectacular and well worth the hour's extra walk.
Then we met up with others back at the Moss Garden.
So we ended up walking for over three hours, which is the healthiest day we've had so far.
Lunch was back at the lodge area. I had battered bassa and chips and that was quite nice.
After lunch we went on a helicopter ride!! I'd never actually been on a helicopter before (neither had Cutie, so she came with me). So it was pretty awesome. We went up to Moolayember Gorge and was appropriately spectacular. Shameless plug to Heli-Central :)
Came back to the room via kangaroos and echidnas and did photo stuff for a while.
Then out again to the sunset at Bandana (sp?) which is a cattle property near the gorge which run evening sunset drinks and nibbles. I thought it was a *tad* overpriced (they're only allowed to serve two drinks without a liquor licence) but after one of mum's glasses of wine I felt better and enjoyed the old farmer's stories and song.
Then back for dinner (I had steak tonight which was a little tough on the ends but nice in the middle, and chocolate pudding which was very nice) and suddenly it's 9pm ..
