I've got a Clarion MP3 Headunit 4x50watts and stock non mach speakers in the cabin, and a 12'' kicker in a custom box in the spare tire well. I was thinking of replacing the 2 speakers up front on the door with component speakers.. Which brands would you recommend for around 200 bucks? Also, any recommendations on placement for the tweeters.. any install tips? thanks -wade
I just got a set of CDT High Definition HD-62s. They are 6.5" Speakers so you'll need to either make a bracket or buy one to adapt the speaker hole in the door to fit them. You'll also want to power them off an amp instead of a Headunit to get the most out of them. The link for them is pasted below. http://nexxon.com/cdt/highdefinitionseries.htm
is it really necessary to power aftermarket speakers off an amp? I know it will sound cleaner but I was figuring 50 watts would be enough
The speakers aren't really getting 50 watts, its more like 19-25 watts RMS power. I like the JL Audio Amps and componets. You could run 75 watts per channel with one of their systems.
The real power output is even less than this. The theoretical max power output at 12 volts with a 4 ohm speaker is 18 watts RMS. This would be with a 100% efficient amplifier which of course is not possible. The max output of most headunits is only about 10-13 watts RMS, even though many say more than this. They cannot make more than 18 watts unless they had a power supply to raise the voltage for the internal amp, which no headunits have. I would not recommend getting components unless they are powered by an amplifier. Components are generally less efficient than coaxials and with the low power output of a headunit they will probably sound no better and will not play as loud as coaxials. Even a cheap amp will work better than the headunit power. 10-13 watts from the headunit is not much power and most likely will not sound as good as even a very low power and cheap amp.
Could you shed some light on the "theoretical max power output"? I'd really like to understand....because it seems to me that you're mixing input and output in your calculations... You're assuming a 12V input (correct), but that 12V does NOT see a 4ohm impedance....it sees the impedance of the amplifier circuitry, NOT the speaker. The amplifier output power is determined by I^2*R (I being current output to the speakers, in RMS, and R being the 4-ohm load. You can't mix apples and oranges... And... the input is a DC voltage, seeing an internal resistance, yet the output is an AC current seeing an external impedance...while impedance and resistance are related, they are not the same. Most alpine head units put out 22 watts RMS per channel (really), and the v-drive's put out 27 watts RMS per channel (really). Gary I'm not trying to be a stickler...but the assumption that you can't have more than 18 true watts RMS per channel at 12V is incorrect.
If you're going to run a component set, I agree with the above responses, you should run an external amp. If you're running them off the HU, you'd be better off geting coaxils. For 5.25" comps, you can buy some adapter plates that convert the 6x8 opening to fit the mid and the tweeter. This is the easiest method, because you can still use the factory bracket. You don't get as much midbass as the 6.5", but installation is much easier. For 6.5", you will need to make new adapter plates to fit the mid in the door. Also, you will probably need to mount the tweeter on the A-pillar or somewhere on the door, which requires even more installation time. You get more midbass with the bigger mid, and it brings the bass up front more, but it takes longer for the install. For recommendations: DEI 650.2/550.2: http://www.sounddomain.com/shoplist~b~DEI~t~Component+Speaker+Systems I haven't heard these comps unfortunately, but I've heard great things about them. DEI's make amazing speakers, and if I had to recommend a set, these would proably be it. I don't like metal dome tweets, but apparently they're not as bright as normal metal tweeters. I'd jump on these if I were you. Review: http://www.caraudioforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=167081 CDT Cl-61a: http://www.thezeb.com/caraudio/CDT_Audio_Components.html I run the classics in my car and they sound amazing. Very accurate and great response. The tweeter is a little laid back, but very natural sounding. I'd recommend these or if you want to spend the extra money, get the HD's that Ruffrider mentioned. Some other great comp sets are Crystal's from sounddomain.com, JL XR's, Focal, or you could do it the DIY method and pair up a pair of peerless CSC-X autosound mids to some Vifa D26 auto tweeters from www.madisound.com. Madisound will design and make a crossover for you, also. It makes a great component set from what I've heard, and the peerless is supposed to be one of the best on the market.
Since the input power is 12 volts DC, that means that the top of the AC waveform made by the internal amplifier can be 12 volts. The transistors of the amp can only lower voltage, not raise it. Since most headunits don't have a power supply to raise the voltage, that means that the top of the sinewave of the output signal can be 12 volts max(not including efficiencies which will lower it). The RMS voltage of an AC voltage that has a peak of 12 volts is 8.48 volts. In case you don't know RMS voltage is found by dividing the peak voltage of an AC sinewave by the square root of 2. By ohms law: watts = volts^2/ohms so for 12 volts peak AC(8.48 volts RMS) and a speaker impedance of 4 ohms: watts = 8.48^2/4 = 18 watts. Alpines V-drive headunits are the only ones that I know of that use a power supply to boost the voltage for the headunits internal amp. They say they can make 27 watts RMS, but this is probably under ideal conditions that are not typical for normal use. This power is possible with their claimed power supply voltage of 17.2 volts and typical amplifier efficiencies. But to fit the amp into such a small space with the other electronics of the headunit, there has to be compromises made, and that means worse sound quality than a comparable external amp and most likely higher distortion. There are no industry standards that car audio companies have to comply by when finding the power ratings. So they can find a lot of ways to make their power rating sound better than it really is and not just tell a lie. One way is to clip the signal; clipping is when the peaks of the AC waveform becomes flat. If they figure out the RMS power with a clipped signal, they can still be telling the truth and say they have more than 18 watts RMS, but this is with an added distortion. Almost all headunits say their RMS power rating if you look at the specs but they do not say if there is any clipping or what kind of distortion it is making. There are also other ways to have a higher power rating and still not lie. But it is stretching the truth because the internal amplifier is adding its own distortion to the signal because it is being pushed to its limit, and they do not say anything about the distortion being introduced.
The good ol' "when lightning strikes" rating.... Since nobody else has mentioned this yet... The best thing you can do for yourself is go to all the local shops you can find and listen to as many different speakers as you can. They all sound a bit different, and you should find the ones you like the best, rather than going solely off of others' opinions. If you can't hear the difference between a $200 set of JL components and a $6K set from Rainbow, then there's no reason not to get the cheaper ones. If you do go audition some sets, make sure to take music that you're familiar with to listen to.
It is always good to audition speakers before you buy them if you can. Don't, by any means, buy a component set because myself or someone else on the boards recommends one to you. I love the sound of a silk tweeter compared to metal, but you might like the sound a little brighter. Do what JokerWylde said and audition as many different sets and brands as you can before you decide what set to go with. As long as it sounds good to you, that's all that's important. Bill
how do you take that grill off the front doors to install new speakers? Anyone have instructions anywhere? thanks

Cruisin' in Charlottetown
Trip Start
Jun 16, 2012
Trip End
Jun 23, 2012
Charlottetown turns out to be a really cool place. The history is deep there, with old, tiny houses on very tiny streets that don't have sidewalks to speak of. Lots of people walking around because it is lunch time and the sun has decided to make an appearance. I use my sense of direction to meander through the back neighborhoods and streets of the city until I see a main drag that has a #1 sign on it which is what I need.
Riding towards the bridge, I spot a cruise ship parked in the harbor. Too cool...who would have expected a cruise ship up here? Not me! I swing down, park and grab a quick picture, then keep going for the Wood Islands ferry. I can't miss it!

Soapbox Saturday - "Can I Pull This Off?"
30 comments:
I defiantly find myself doing that, but when i do wear what i love i do feel better just like you said. Sometimes it's a little tricky when something is so popular and your not in the trend, i feel kind of dumb not wearing the hottest trend. Then i think about it and realize I DON'T WANT to be like everyone else. I want to be different and simply just myself! Love this post and your cute headband!!
ReplyDeleteI think the flapper look is great on you.
It is hard to find the right balance of being what others expect you to be and being who you truly are stylistically.
While it would be great if would could all throw caution to the wind and just wear what we want, we have to take everything into consideration. If you have a job you have to present an image that that is reflective of their values. If you work at a place that is fashion forward the look would be fabulous. If you work at a bank that predominately services the Amish community it would make the customers uncomfortable.
Same thing applies when you have kids - you don't necessarily have to have their seal of approval on what you wear, but you don't want to wear something that will totally embarrass them in front of their friends while they are young. I will never forget when my Mom showed up at school with one of my dresses on when I was in the 5th grade after she lost a lot of weight and we were the same size and my friend commenting on it.
If your kids love it on you, wear it with pride. It they just don't like it, wear it anyway. It is only if they carry on and on about it that you might not want to wear it out of consideration for their feelings and stress that is the only reason you are not wearing it and you expect the same consideration when you ask them to dress up for a function that they really don't want to - it is a two way street.
I have told my son, it only applies until he becomes of adult age. Once he goes to college, Mama is wearing what she wants on the weekends and I don't care if I end up as one of the photos on "The People of Walmart".You have no idea how much I needed to read your blog today. I have been thinking a lot about this. I'm a 23 (almost 24) year old working mother and all I ever wear is jeans, tshirts and tennis shoes. I have a couple of pair of slacks I wear on "special" occasions with a "dressy" t-shirt. My husband just started back to work and I thought to myself... FINALLY, I can go shopping for some new clothes. Then I started wondering, would I find myself just buying a new pair of boring old jeans and a couple of t-shirts or would I get a little bolder. Then I thought... nah, I'll wait until I lose those next 20 lbs. HAHA, at this rate, I'll never get the bold clothes I dream of myself wearing. Seriously, thank you for this blog. I'm so gonna take that next step in being more than just jeans and tshirt girl. Oh, and LOVE LOVE LOVE the headband!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about ego and we all do it! We imagine that those around us actually care about what we are wearing and how we look/act. The reality is, that while a few people might be critical, most are not! I resolved recently to live my life without apology. If I love something, I will wear it! If something sounds fun to me, I will do it (even if I may look a little silly running through the sprinklers at the public park with my children...)! Life is too short to waste it imagining that others are criticizing me, and let that keep me from being completely me!! My new mantra: I live completely, and without apology!!
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! If you are asking a question and you do NOT have your profile linked to your email address, I will respond in the comment section, so just come back to check it later. Thanks!

"I work for a company with international clients. I called to confirm the quality and contents of the gift basket, submitted an order on a Friday and it was delivered in Korea early Tuesday morning. Excellent communication through the whole process. They even called me to confirm that the credit card I used on the order was mine! " Elizabeth - Ottawa, Canada - Dec 22, 2009 "We were looking for a service that could send a holiday gift to a friend of ours who lives in Bucharest, Romania. Experience has shown this is NOT an easy thing to do if trying to mail the gift yourself from the USA (and of course you are quite limited in what you can send from here to Europe, and of course there are Customs charges as well!). With Gift Baskets Overseas, we were able to avoid such difficulties. We picked out a lovely gift basket of goodies for our friend which we assume were sent from the U.K. thereby avoiding Customs fees and exorbitant shipping charges from the U.S. The gift basket arrived on time in Bucharest, and the delivery service there went the extra mile to find our friend who was not at the office that day to insure her gift was delivered. She was very excited and pleased and so are we." Mrs. Richard Furr - Charlotte NC, USA - Dec 31, 2012 "GiftBasketsOverseas are one of the best and most professional online ordering businesses I have ever used. The order I placed in Australia one day was completed and delivered in NZ the next - less than 18 hours later!!

A bread price increase will be reversed after food riots in which 13 people were killed last week, Mozambique's Planning Minister said yesterday.
The 30 per cent rise in the price of bread, due to soaring global wheat prices, sparked the worst riots since 2008 in the southern-African country, one of the world's poorest.
"The government has agreed to keep the old price of bread and the costs would be met by subsidies," Aiuba Cuereneia said.
President Armando Guebuza's government previously said it was helpless because of the spike in wheat prices linked partly to a drought in Russia.

Topeka The Republican Party says that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched a television ad to help incumbent U.S. Rep. Nancy Boyda after announcing earlier that it would stay out of the campaign.
During the summer Boyda, who faces Republican Lynn Jenkins in the 2nd District House race, made headlines when she said that she wanted the DCCC to "get the heck out of my race."
The DCCC had said it intended to spend $1.2 million to help Boyda, a freshman legislator seeking re-election in the district that includes west Lawrence. But the DCCC then said it would comply with Boyda's efforts to maintain independence from the national party.
On Tuesday, however, an ad by the DCCC started running to help Boyda, Republican officials said. The DCCC did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Republican Party officials on the national and state level said the DCCC's move proves that Boyda is in trouble of losing the election.
"It's ironic that they are running an ad claiming that Boyda keeps her word, when the very ad is a violation of her promise to run an independent campaign," said Kansas Republican Party Executive Director Christian Morgan.
Thomas Seay, a spokesman for the Boyda campaign, said Boyda still believes the DCCC should stop.
"We haven't seen any ad, but I can tell you that Representative Boyda believes this race should be run without the interference of out-of-state groups," Seay said. "That includes the DCCC, and it includes the out-of-state groups that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her opponent's campaign."
Under campaign finance laws, outside independent committees can spend money on behalf of a candidate without their approval. In fact, under the law, it is illegal for the candidate and the group to coordinate. The Republican National Congressional Committee is spending money to help Jenkins.

Start your engines, Kryptos fans. Artist Jim Sanborn, the creator of the CIA's Kryptos sculpture, has launched his new website which he built in conjunction with a much-anticipated clue he's scheduled to release in a New York Times story this weekend.
The site Kryptos Clue appeared this week. It's meant to provide an automated way for people to contact Sanborn with their proposed solutions to the puzzle. The site consists of a single page with an online form for solvers to submit the first 10 characters of their proposed solution to the puzzle.
Sanborn created the cipher sculpture in 1990 for CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and plans to release a new clue to help puzzle detectives solve the last 97 characters of his masterpiece. The new clue is to be revealed to mark the 20th anniversary of the sculpture, which was dedicated Nov. 3, 1990.
It will be the first clue Sanborn has revealed in four years, after he corrected a typo in his sculpture in 2006 to keep crypto detectives from being derailed in their search for solutions.
Sanborn wouldn't disclose the clue to Threat Level but said only cryptically that it will "globalize" the sculpture. Asked if this meant it would take the sculpture off the CIA grounds and out of the United States, he conceded it would.
"I personally think it's a significant clue," he said. "I'm throwing it out there. It just makes that many fewer characters people have to figure out."
The 12-foot-high, verdigrised copper, granite and wood sculpture is inscribed with four encrypted messages, three of which have been solved. The sculpture's theme is intelligence-gathering (Kryptos is Greek for "hidden"). Three of the four have already been cracked, but the last one — consisting of just 97 characters — has confounded amateur and professional cryptographers for 20 years.
Sanborn has been contacted over the years by numerous people who believed they'd solved the puzzle. Many of the solutions they proposed were wildly off-base. He told Threat Level that with the launch of his new site, anyone who thinks they've solved the last section will have to submit what they believe are the first 10 characters of the final 97 before he will respond.

Dr Leff is amazing, very kind and caring. He takes his time to answer all questions and I've never felt rushed. He even asked me to come in to the office on his day off to check out some minor (and normal!) bleeding that I was worried about! Am very happy with my tummy tuck results. Front desk and nurses are all very frniendly and accommodating as well. I can highly recommend Dr Leff and his practice and will definitely return for future procedures. He is absolutely the best!

5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Excellent Breast Augmentation Experience - Bellevue, WA
Although this was a very private procedure, I feel compelled to share a review about Dr.Leff and his staff at Overlake Plastic surgeons because of the extraordinary service and care I received during my surgery and post operation appointments. Dr.Leff has been in practice for many, many years which has allowed him to perfect a comforting bedside manner. He takes time to know each client personally and make them feel comfortable. He is an impeccable listener and works to please each client's specific needs. The atmosphere at the Overlake Plastic Surgeon's office is very peaceful, bright, and friendly. I was immediately put at ease from the fresh flowers to the tremendously warm desk staff and nurses. I did not feel as if I was in a surgery office at all! I felt completely confident in the capable hands of Doctor Leff because he was careful to explain all of my options and talk over my procedure to put me at ease. Most importantly, the results from my procedure are immaculate. I would not go back and change a single thing. Years of experience have made it easy for this doctor to provide a very natural touch to his work. The doctor and staff also provided everything I needed in my aftercare in such an efficient manner, it made my recovery quick and easy. The staff was even very gracious in scheduling to work around my hectic schedule; even coming in on days they usually are not in office, to make sure I received the best care. I never had to wait for my appointments, as they generously work to make each appointment private and on time. The staff was courteous and friendly. I am very happy with my results, and I highly recommend Dr.Leff from Overlake Plastic Surgeons for any of your enhancement or reconstructive needs. I am sure your experience will be as excellent as mine!

I had a tummy tuck over 10 years ago by Dr. Leff and I have been so happy with the results. I have been back for several small procedures since then and have always been treated with great care and given honest answers to my questions.


text: International News South Africa: De Beers AIDS Plan Goes to Great DepthsOctober 11, 2005 The Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS recently honored De Beers and five other companies for efforts to fight the epidemic. De Beers was recognized for its workplace HIV counseling and testing program. Last year, 95 percent of the workers at Koffiefontein, one of the company's seven South African mines, were tested. The company offers a wellness program and provides AIDS drugs to employees, their partners, and workers who have been laid off or retired. "Testing is important because it changes behavior," said Busi Boikanyo, a nurse with Careways Group, which conducts counseling and testing at De Beers' Cullinan mine near Pretoria. De Beers brought Careways into Cullinan in response to workers' unease about the confidentiality of in-house services. When workers asked for testing facilities within the mine, the company complied. Two weeks into Cullinan's latest testing drive, launched last month, 70 percent of the company's 2,700 workers had been tested. Although increased testing has upped the number of workers and spouses enrolled in wellness programs, few take advantage of the drugs offered, said De Beers' HIV/AIDS community program manager Tracey Peterson. The company estimates 10 percent of its 10,000 workers are HIV-positive. By the end of August, only 310 were enrolled in the wellness program, and half of them were taking AIDS drugs. Manne said many still rely on traditional remedies, believing media reports that antiretrovirals are not the only way to deal with HIV/AIDS.

One dead, four wounded in N.J. birthday party shooting
One man was killed and four people were wounded when shots rang out at a central New Jersey home during a teenager's birthday party.
It's not yet clear what sparked the shooting, which occurred late Friday night in Hamilton Township.
Mercer County prosecutors say an 18-year-old man was shot to death, while a 17-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical but stable condition with wounds to the torso, arms, leg and groin.
Two others males — ages 17 and 18 — were shot in the legs, while the other victim was hit in the calf. All three were treated at a hospital and later released.
Authorities say dozens of people attended the party, which was being held for a 15-year-old. But further details on the shootings weren't disclosed.

I'm tired of you telling me to indulge in public displays of affection. Rather than embracing change, couldn't I just give it a fanny slap or a fist bump or something?
Is it odd that I neither fear change nor embrace it? The idea of "change" – out of context – doesn't provoke any emotional response at all. I get tired of hearing about the need for change—if change is truly needed, I feel an urge to say, "Shut up and change, already. Stop talking it to death!" Change should feel more exciting, shouldn't it? If properly marketed, we should be dying to embrace it. But about the closest I can ever come to embracing change is the urge to walk up to it, bop it on the chin, then give it a big ol' bear hug. "Gee, Change, you look kind of familiar – don't I know you from somewhere? It's about time you showed up!"
We often speak of Change as if it were a single entity, when in truth it is just one member of the Upheaval family. There's everything from urgently needed reform to mindless change for the sake of change. There's small change and there's paradigm shift, or sea change and no change at all. Most of us can, indeed, embrace change when it makes sense. But sometimes, change appears to us like a mangy cur – we love cute puppies and loyal dogs, but our first gut instinct is to kick the Chupacabra of change in the teeth.
We Can Only Embrace Change We Understand
African environmentalist Baba Dioum said, "In the end, we will only conserve what we love. We will only love what we understand. We will only understand what we are taught." For change to be embraced, it must be understood.
Change often just suffers from bad marketing. When the need for change is obvious to all – when the current situation is unbearable – it's not hard to sell change. In fact, it may be all too easy to sell mindless change for the sake of change, simply because everyone's so desperate to try something – anything – but what they're doing now. That just leads to more frequent change, and eventually to a loathing of change itself as everyone loses faith in this "change" thing that really hasn't helped them one bit!
The flip side of that, of course, is that when someone doesn't understand why things are the way they are, they may try to force a change to make "how things are" more like what they do understand. Everyone else is happy with the way things are – it's working for them. It's always worked for them. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" they cry. And the more change feels forced upon them from outside, the less willing they are to consider that there may be a better way to do things. Change begins to feel contentious, and people get surly about it instead of embracing it – to everyone's detriment.
Sometimes, change benefits one group, but hurts another. The ocean provides us with a variety of plentiful foods, recreation, and beauty – but have we humans ever foist one change upon that timeless body of water that did anything good – for the sea itself? Ask the ocean to "embrace change" next time you stroll along the beach or enjoy a shrimp cocktail, and invite a tsunami of contempt upon your head from Mother Nature. While we should always strive for a win-win, or at least strive to minimize the negative impact of change we force on others, we need to be mindful of the fact that not everyone will see cause to rejoice in change, and asking them to "embrace it" may seem callous.
When change is necessary but met with resistance, make sure, first, that it is not a mindless exercise in change for the sake of change. Or, as my dad used to say, "Make sure you're not jumping out of the frying pan into the fire." Next, make sure that those who seem resistant to the change really understand the need for it – and that you understand why they aren't seeing how obvious that need is. Maybe they just have a different vision of what "needed change" looks like, and together you can formulate a better solution. Listen, and make sure that the hold-outs feel heard. When people believe that their concerns are being taken into account (because they are, and not just because you're nodding your head and wondering how long till lunch), its easier to find common ground and work together to accomplish shared objectives.
Don't ask people to simply "embrace change." Give them a proper introduction to it, help them to understand its value, and make it look a little less like a Chupacabra. It may take a while for them to love change, but maybe they'll give it a fist bump or a high five.

Great for beginners or experienced jumpers.
Review by: PWScottIV, 2007-01-30
This video presented some great perspectives on safety issues from very experienced jumpers. The malfunction video clips were a great way to help prepare myself for the real thing (hopefully). Being able to see live mals, with commentary was a lot more informative than the pictures I saw in my FJC.
Review by: skydann, 2004-11-25
I use it extensively for my student training with regards to Malfunctions lesson. Students find it a very good visual guide to what they might expect to see over their heads. A good refresher aid for those who have been out of the sport for a long time. No matter how good you are, there will always be something to learn...
Worth owning, could save your life
Review by: 377, 2004-02-19
This is a very good video reviewing safety and emergency procedures. Its something I watch again and again, especially if I have not jumped recently. Its only fault is that it bogs down and gets too slow in certain segments, but you can always fast fwd. I know of no competing video. This is worth owning just for the review of what to do (and not do) with two canopies out. Students will greatly benefit from this video, but so will experienced jumpers.

Serves 4.
1 | leek, halved lengthwise and chopped |
2 | tablespoons butter |
2 | large shallots, chopped |
1 | pound parsnips, thinly sliced |
6 | cups water, or more if needed |
2 | thick slices bacon |
¼ | cup heavy cream (optional) |
¼ | tart green apple |
Salt and pepper, to taste |
1. Rinse the leek in a colander to remove any sand.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and leek and cook gently, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the parsnips and stir well. Add enough water to cover the vegetables with plenty of salt. Bring to a boil.
4. Cover the pot and simmer the soup for 15 minutes or until the parsnips are tender.
5. Meanwhile, in a dry skillet, render the bacon until it is golden brown. Crumble it.
6. Set a strainer over a bowl. In a blender, puree the soup a little at a time, straining each batch. Pour the soup back into the saucepan and stir in the cream, if you like. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Finely chop the apple. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each one with bacon and apple.

This picture was taken the next morning as the sun came up. *sigh* Such beauty to behold.
Oh, I'm talking about the canyon, not me! :-)
And here is Ed looking all handsome for me!! :-)
We flew into Las Vegas, arriving at 9:15AM. We rented a car and drove to the Golden Nugget, which was suggested by a dear friend who has been there before. I most often do the driving in unfamiliar metro areas and, thankfully, got to the hotel without a hitch! Thank you, Jesus!
Our room was wonderful and we both slept like babies, as the beds and pillows were so wonderfully comfortable!
This is our drive out of Las Vegas heading toward the Hoover Dam, like nothing I've ever seen before!
See how desolate the terrain looks? Unbelieveable.
And now that we have been home for a few days, we are getting the upper hand on those leaves that we now love! See for yourselves:

Out of Sorts
I don't know why, but I am feeling out of sorts. I have since Monday, which was my birthday. My birthday itself was fine. I launched my Scentsy business that evening with an open house (didn't mention my bday to anyone). A dear friend brought me cake. She had emailed people behind my back to get them to come, but so many people are sick right now. The launch party was good and I felt extra special with my cake.
School is in full swing and the routine is nice. I went to the Volunteer Registration breakfast. Even if I sub, I should have time to volunteer at the school. I met the mother of another boy in my younger son's kindergarten class. Very nice lady.
So why do I feel out of sorts? I feel like we are on the verge of something. In a way, I feel sad. So I guess all I can do right now is to pray and wait for God to reveal what He wants in His time.
Until then, I'm going to count my blessings, for I am richly blessed with friends, family, my church family and so much more!
Oh and here's a funny...my older son was disappointed at church Wednesday night because he grabbed a chocolate chip cookie instead of a raisin one LOL That kid cracks me up!

Happy belated birthday! Isn't it funny how when we think we may be on the verge of change, we mourn a little bit for the way things were? Even when we know the change is God's great plan for us, or is something we've planned for ourselves, letting go of the old can be a little disconcerting.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a little disconcerting when anticipating change...we're forced to give up some of our security and I'm sure that's what makes us feel out of sorts....nobody likes having their security shifted....but as Jen said in the previous comment...that's when we shift our focus back where it needs to be...one the One that never changes...sometimes easier said than done, I'll admit!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dianne and Jen above.
I've been feeling the same lately and it's true, it's because things are changing but I realised, as Secondofwett says, that there is only One who never changes and we must turn to God in changing times. I'm so glad to have *re*found the company girls, it's just the place I need to be now - with people who understand what I'm going through and can encourage each other.
God bless you all.I've heard it said many times...Don't get comfortable because that's just about the time the Lord decides to mix things up. Fortunately we can always be sure He will never allow anything to touch us that He doesn't have plans for. Jeremiah 29:11...one of my fav's.
Have a blessed weekend!

Manny Ramirez and the Cell
If a .200 ISO does not seem exciting enough, there are reasons to think he can do better in Chicago. According to StatCorner.com, the park factor for home runs for right-handed hitters in Los Angeles was 92. Compare that to U.S. Cellular, home of the White Sox, which has a 134 park factor for home runs for right-handed hitters. That is a serious swing in fortunes. In 213 earlier-career at-bats at the Cell, he's had a .338/.448/.601 line that suggests he feels comfortable there. …
BTW, here's another 'Manny Ramirez is a bum' takedown.
Fangraphs looks on the White Sox' 'DH by committee' plan
Twenty times this year Paul Konerko has filled the DH spot and seven times he has taken a day off. In all 27 instances Mark Kotsay took his place at first base. In an additional 47 games Kotsay himself has served as the DH. This has been nothing but a detriment to the team. Kotsay is no longer a good hitter, and really hasn't been one since 2004. He has a mere .304 wOBA this year after a .309 mark last year, and he hasn't crossed the .320 mark since 2005. There was no reason to think he'd approach average production for a DH. Yet he has been their primary guy in that spot. It seems like it could have gone to a more worthy player. …

Are the Rascals the most underappreciated and influential band in rock? Arguably New York's first great band, they had an astonishingly varied repertoire – these were the same guys who gave us the beach-stroll beauty of "Groovin,'" the most raucous cover of "Good Lovin'," the white-guy soul of "Lonely Too Long" and the blissed-out pop of "A Beautiful Morning." They've also been covered by Pat Benatar (who did a pretty faithful remake of "You Better Run"), and long before the White Stripes, the Rascals had no use for a bass player. And they were wearing little-kid knickers years before Angus Young.I had 11th row seats for last night's performance, and I have only one word to add to the above.
For years, another longtime devotee, Steven Van Zandt, tried unsuccessfully to broker a reunion of founding members Felix Cavaliere, Eddie Brigati, Dino Danelli and Gene Cornish despite years of bad blood between them. "These guys are such gods to me," he told Rolling Stone in 2009. "There should be statues of them." With The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream, Van Zandt has finally come as close as possible to constructing those monuments.
Opening this week and continuing through May 5th, the two-hour Broadway production brings together the original quartet for their first extended performances together since Brigati left the band in 1970. Van Zandt wrote the script and co-directed it (with Marc Brickman, who has designed and lit shows by bands including Pink Floyd).
It's first and foremost a reunion concert, with the quartet augmented by three backup singers, a bassist and an additional keyboardist. It's also partly an offspring of Behind the Music, since the Rascals tell their story through filmed interviews interspersed throughout the show (albeit with a largely upbeat tone, like the first half hour of your typical BTM). The show is also a little bit Jersey Boys, thanks to additional footage in which actors recreate key scenes in the band's story, from the time Brigati was accidentally shot by his brother to the time they were asked to remake the Olympics' hit "Good Lovin'" (which earned a standing ovation when it was performed midway through Once Upon a Dream).
Fortunately, what could have been a mess mutates into an entertaining and fairly seamless show. From the repertoire to the photo collages behind them, Once Upon a Dream takes the Rascals from their bar-band, R&B-covers days (when they were the Young Rascals) to hitmakers to New York hippies. They're no longer young, in name or age; Cavaliere is now 70, and the others aren't far behind. But over the course of two hours, they gamely recreated their old stage personae: keyboardist-singer Cavaliere's fist-in-the-air exhortations, singer Brigati's dancing-with-tambourines moves, guitarist Cornish's goofy showboating and drummer Danelli's drumstick spins. Also returning were some of the paisley shirts from their Summer of Love period: As hard as they tried, the Rascals were never truly hip, then and now.
But as Once Upon a Dream rams home, cool points weren't quite the point. Before they broke apart, Cavaliere and Brigati were a tremendous songwriting team, and they weren't afraid to be jubilant, excitable boys, on record and onstage. The show opens with the charging "It's Wonderful" and closes two hours later with their civil rights plea, "People Got to Be Free." In between aren't just the biggest hits but plenty of others – the jubilant "A Girl Like You" and "If You Knew" – that attest to the durability of their catalog. Dipping elsewhere, they resurrect obscure album tracks like the trippy garage-band swirl of "Find Somebody" and the spaghetti-Western swagger of "Sueno," both from 1967's Groovin' album, as well as lesser-knowns like the Southern-soul-influenced "Carry Me Back."
Brigati can no longer hit all the supple high notes in the unabashedly sentimental "How Can I Be Sure," and there were opening-night problems, like under-miked voices and a mix that sometimes buried Cavaliere's organ. (And what's with the clip from Pam Grier's Seventies blaxploitation classic Foxy Brown for a show rooted in the decade before?) The ending, which blames their breakup on bad management, feels a bit too simplistic. But Once Upon a Dream compensates with a set list that never lets up, and with the tale of a bunch of regular Jersey and New York guys who naively pursued a dream of blending rock, R&B, soul and psychedelia before anyone else thought it was possible.
Also: Dino Danelli is in fact God. And Gene Cornish turns out to be a much more interesting guitar player than I'd remembered.
Oh, and they did my favorite Rascals song of all time, too.

Cautionary Note to Investors Regarding Mineral Disclosures
We commissioned the updated technical report in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrator's National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects," commonly known as NI 43-101. The Canadian standards are different from the standards generally permitted in reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In accordance with NI 43-101, we report measured, indicated and inferred resources, measurements which are recognized terms under NI 43-101 but are not recognized by the SEC and are generally not permitted in filings made with the SEC. The term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserve." Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into economically mineable reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources. The SEC's disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "measured resources," "indicated resources," "inferred resources," or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute "reserves" by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. We are furnishing the disclosure herein to provide a means of comparing our projects to those of other companies in the mining industry, many of which are Canadian and report pursuant to NI 43-101.U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (SEC File No. 333-129347) and in subsequent filings with the SEC. You can review and obtain copies of our filings from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml or at no cost from us.

Liz Phair; Michelle Branch
Ah, the music industry, where a former white-hot mama indie rock icon turns to designated hit-makers the Matrix, the Scandinavian songwriting team responsible for Avril Lavigne's success, and a teenage upstart relies on her own songs.
As can be seen by the outrage over Liz Phair -- a New York Times scribe called it "career suicide" -- the hipster set isn't ready for the newly reinvented Phair, now a MILF who looks packaged in her naughty schoolgirl threads. Vestiges of her shocking past still linger in her profession that she loves "semen" on "H.W.C." and in her comparison of a love to her favorite panties on "Favorite." The music is well constructed (as is Phair), and thankfully, there's always room at the table for headstrong women who can deliver solid pop-rock.
Although Phair is nearly twice Michelle Branch's age, she has less than half her audience, and the eponymous album title is a giveaway that Phair is trying to find listeners who don't know her from her kick-in-the-balls 1993 lo-fi debut, Exile in Guyville. Apparently she doesn't want to alienate the core fans either -- after all, she's still bluntly spewing four-letter words and waxing poetic about sperm and panties. But she's a single mother now, and the music is bright, shiny and nonconfrontational -- pure suburban sweetness, glossy with power chords and giant hooks. When she slows it down, dimming the guitars on "Take a Look," the emotions seem more heartfelt, and overall it's a bright, sunny, radio-friendly set of songs, so she seems to have reached her goal on that count. Still, knowing that she wants desperately to break through casts a certain cynical air on the entire record. Doesn't mean you can't sing along to every track; it's just that once it's over, none of those songs sticks around, either.
Liz PhairMichelle Branch
Best New Artist Grammy nominee Branch's debut wasn't as critically lauded as Phair's, but she has more, at least commercially, to live up to on her sophomore album. Taking a cue from Santana (whom she joined on his latest album), Branch gets guest spots from Sheryl Crow and Dave Navarro (on the first single, "Are You Happy Now?"), but 19-year-old Branch has songs and charisma enough to power the disc's solid hooks and straightforward delivery. She has a strong voice, but only limited life experiences, and Hotel Paper undoubtedly would be a meatier follow-up if it had left behind some of the broken-heart and life-on-the-road clichés.
Still, Phair could learn a lot from Branch. At least the youngster sticks to her guns and does what she does best, without pandering or trying to look half her age.

With enhanced 16:9 visuals, a new intro movie directed by the man who crafted the Persona 3 and Persona 4 intro movies, and direct control of the "wisp" with the analog nub, players will have a different experience than the DS. For those of you who didn't have a chance to play the DS title, players take control of the wisp, which functions as a control cursor. Using the wisp, you choose a weapon from the top of the screen and then charge it on your characters by hovering over them. It takes a certain amount of time to charge each weapon, so you'll have to hover for a while. Enemies attack the wisp by shooting bullets at it, so it's your job to avoid these bullets. With that, players have an action-strategy-shooter-RPG on their hands. It's really a very unique combination, and the PSP iteration changes up the controls for the better.
Players familiar with Riviera and Yggdra Union are used to the enhanced ports from the GBA version, and Knights in the Nightmare is similar in that regard. Probably the single most important upgrade for fans of Sting's Dept Heaven games is the addition of a new playable character: Princess Yggdra from Yggdra Union. Keep your eyes peeled for more information on Knights in the Nightmare for PSP as it nears release.

Smarter Living
I just lost my job on the 4th of this month. It's an awful time for us as my job was close to half of our income. It was a very signifigant amount as I was a full time overnight CNA. We are already behind on bills, but that's another story. I'm trying my best to rely on God to help me in my search for a new job, but in the meantime Im so stressed and scared. I have two layaways at Kmart which I have not been able to pay on this week, so I don't know if I will even be able to get them the few things I had on layaway for Christmas.
I know about the salvation army, but I don't know how to get in contact with them or kmart of any other places that assist. It's been over two years since we've required any kind of assistance so I'm very confused. I did apply for food stamps, but was told it could be up to 30 days before they respond.
I appreciate any suggestions...etc. Thank you all!

I had the rear output shaft bearing weld itself and then blow the bearing housing apart break the yoke and send the drive shaft flying only after it beat the piss out of the underside of the Jeep. That was on a D20, in neutral about 450 miles into a 800 mile trip some where between WV and OH.

Matt, GL member "Itchy" has or had a really nice trailer for sale that I almost bought about a month ago... it was about 2" too narrow for my TJ though, so I went another route. I've got pics of it if you are interested.

I've got a new to me t-case sitting in the garage right now so i'm good there, thanks for the offer though jeepfreak.
Rebel - just pull the shafts and you should be okay. One other thing that can be a big issue is if you have a locker in the front end. That might make it not want to steer. Then just take it for a practice spin. and see how it goes. I flat towed mine for hundreds of miles before I had a problem and then it was cuz, I'm an idiot. I forgot that when you put a MP231 in neutral, it locks the front and rears together. Well, I have an unbalanced front shaft so I'm sure it burnt the bearings up and exploded them. I may flat tow again, but not for long distances and not without pulling the shafts. |

NOT GL4x4SucksVideo guy.
Manual hubs make it pretty nice for me. I did know about removing shafts, but I've read a few people say to put the Tcase in Neutral, and put the trans in a high gear.
I'm just trying to get everything straight before I take the 45 minute drive up to the Mounds. I have taken it on a practice run and it tracks very well, no problems on a quick 10 minute drive. |

I've got manual hubs too (waggy dana 44). I was and always have flat towed with the t-case in neutral and the tranny in gear. If you're driveshafts are balanced and you leave them in you should be okay but on the other hand, it's only 8 bolts to remove the d-shafts from the axle end and 2 bungee cords to hold them up.
Good luck and I wish the best with the towing. For me the worst part is actually controlling my rig behind me. the front end is too slinky and makes it swerve like a bitch at speeds above 55. If you find that to be the case, you might consider binding your rigs front suspension with something. I used cheapy harbor frieght ratchet straps (small ones) but I broke alot of them too. When it's bound down it pulled well. |

AKA GreyShrink
I don't know about the t-case in this vehicle, but my D300 shouldn't be towed over 50 miles or so in neutral with the rear driveshaft connected. This is because it is the rotation of the INPUT shaft on the D300 that causes the splash lubricaation that lubes the gears on the OUTPUT shaft, which will be turning if the rear ddriveshaft is connected. To be safe (and leave the rear driveshaft connected), one should stop every 50 miles or so, get in the Jeep and start it, put the tansmission in gear (leave the t-case in neutral) and let the engine run for a few minutes. This will spin the input shaft on the D300 enough to lubricate the output gears for another 50 miles or so.
I used to do that when towing up to the West Branch area. But on a 400 mile trip down South, it got old really quick. So I started disconnecting my driveshafts from then on. I didn't remove the driveshafts. I just disconnected the u-joint from the diff yoke on the front and rear shafts, put a piece of tape around the u-jopint bearing cups, and tied up the shafts to the frame. I disconnected the front shaft just in case the t-case jumped into gear during the tow. It was easier to disconnect the diff end of both driveshafts that it was to completely remove the rear driveshaft. Plus it was less messy. I don't have to worry about and of that now, since I converted my rear axle with a Warn full-floater kit and put manual lock-out hubs on the rear. Now I just have to unlock all four hubs and I'm ready to go. However, I still trailer it just about everywheere. If I bugger up the steering , or a spindle bearing goes bad on the trail, I wouldn't be able to flat-tow it. There are some definite advantages to flat-towing: (1) Less strain on the towing vehicle due to no trailer weight; (2) No tongue weight on the rear of the tow vehicle; (3) The flat-towed Jeep sits closer to the ground, so less wind reistance on the highway and better MPG; (4) It's usually quicker to hook up a flat-towed Jeep than to hook up a trailer and load up a Jeep on the trailer. There are also some disadvantages to flat-towing vs. trailer towing: (1) As mentioned above, some problems/carnage will prevent flat-towing back from the trails; (2) Lack of tongue weight, coupled with a slightly loose front suspension/steering on the Jeep can result in some "wobble" problems not seen with a properly setup trailer; (3) Can't properly back up with a flat-towed Jeep. |

I have flat towed for years but now i just pull the Drive-shats at the axle like you do for anything over 100 miles. Good information on the flat towing |

Revving an old thread because I am researching flat towing my Bronco 2. I can understand disconnecting the rear drive shaft, but if I just left the hubs unlocked would there be any reason to disconnect the front shaft?

Hunt, A. P. and Parry, Jackie D. and Hamilton-Taylor, John (2000) Further evidence of elemental composition as an indicator of the bioavailability of humic substances to bacteria. Limnology and Oceanography, 45 (1). pp. 237-241. ISSN 0024-3590
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Batch culture experiments examined the ability of an isolated bacterial community to utilize four humic substances with similar molecular size but variable elemental composition. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis of the results provided evidence of a significant positive relationship between the N: C ratio and bacterial concentrations. In contrast, neither H: C nor O: C ratios were significant predictors of humic substances bioavailability, and their inclusion in the multivariate model provided no further explanatory power compared with the univariate model using N: C as the single independent variable. These findings suggest that N: C ratios provide the best indicator of bioavailability for complex, recalcitrant carbon moieties typical of many aquatic systems.

Jewish World Review Jan. 12, 2011 / 7 Shevat, 5771 Journos running the asylum By Jack Kelly
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
It is, arguably, the most serious problem in contemporary journalism. And it's getting worse.
Something really bad happens. People want to learn more about it. So they tune in to a cable television network.
The cable news anchors know little more about what's happened than do the people tuning in. Not enough time has elapsed to gather the facts. But the news anchors have all this airtime to fill. So they speculate, and invite those they interview to speculate.
Competition in journalism is more about getting the story first than in getting the story right. So rumors are "reported" without being checked out. In the early hours of a crisis, news organizations often transmit more misinformation than information.
"Much of what was reported as fact by government officials and the media during the chaotic first week (after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans) turned out to be fiction," said Mark Memmott of USA Today in an October, 2005 retrospective.
The death toll was reported as ten times as great as it actually was, Mr. Memmott said, and the widely reported "crime spree" in the Louisiana Superdome never happened.
"A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on," Shakespeare wrote in Henry IV, Part 2. This is especially true of disaster reporting, because people remember most what they first heard, not what dribbled out later once the crisis was past.
Media bias compounds the problem. Many journalists are more interested in spinning the news than in reporting it.
On Saturday, Jared Lee Loughner, 22, opened fire in a Safeway in Tucson, killing six and wounding 14. Among the dead was U.S. District Judge John Roll, a conservative Republican. Among the seriously injured was Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a liberal Democrat.
Long before anything was known about Mr. Loughner, journalists speculated about what really motivated his murder spree.
For Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, it was the "inflammatory rhetoric" of radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
Former Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., said Mr. Loughner was upset by Republican opposition to Obamacare.
What pushed Mr. Loughner over the edge, said Rep. James Clyburn, D-SC, was the reading of the Constitution on the House floor.
Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Me, thinks he might have been inflamed by the Republican claim that Obamacare "kills jobs."
For most in the news media, the arch villain was Sarah Palin, who before the election had marked on her Web site with the crosshairs of a rifle sight the districts of Democrats she thought could be defeated. Among those complaining was liberal Web logger Markos Moulitsas, who on his Web site (Daily Kos) had put a bullseye of his own on Ms. Giffords.
"In all my years as a working journalist, I've never seen such shallow, thoughtless, agenda-driven drivel as I have in the past 36 hours," said former CBS newsman Bernard Goldberg Monday.
Emerging details about Mr. Loughner reveal how shallow the drivel is. A registered independent who didn't vote last November, he was described by a classmate as a "left-wing pothead." An atheist who thinks the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks, Mr. Loughner listed as a "favorite" on his Web site a video of the burning of the American flag.
Mr. Loughner isn't political. His beef with Rep. Giffords apparently stemmed from his dissatisfaction with an answer she gave him at a town meeting in 2007.
Paranoid schizophrenia knows no ideology. The only political figure who may deserve some blame for the shootings is Sheriff Dupnik. Mr. Loughner had made death threats against others.
"I think what we really need to look into is what happened when (Loughner) had previous contact with the sheriff's office with their negligence here," said James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal. "I think the sheriff is trying to distract from that question."
So Sheriff Dupnik may have an excuse, albeit a bad one, for his blame assigning. Others do not.
"To be clear, if you're using this event to criticize the 'rhetoric' of Mrs. Palin or others with whom you disagree, then you're either (a) asserting a connection between the rhetoric and the shooting, which based on evidence to date would be what we call a vicious lie; or (b) you're not, in which case you are just seizing on a tragedy to try to score unrelated political points, which is contemptible. Which is it?" asked law professor Glenn Reynolds in the Wall Street Journal Monday.

Genius Child
Langston Hughes
This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can –
Lest the song get out of hand.
Nobody loves a genius child.
Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?
Can you love an eagle,
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?
Nobody loves a genius child.
Kill him – and let his soul run wild.

Review: A Practical Wedding
Short version: If you are engaged, READ THIS BOOK.
4 comments:
How cool! I'm not planning a wedding any time soon, but if or when I ever do, I hope I remember this book :-)
On the subject of marriage (and tradition, expectations, even rebellion!), have you read Elizabeth Gilbert's Committed? I read it a few years ago and really enjoyed it. It's pretty eye-opening, and that's in spite of the fact that I knew something about marriage's checkered history before reading the book. But I think you'd enjoy how Gilbert ultimately comes to terms (and some inner peace) about entering into marriage again.
Wishing you all the best as you enter into your marriage! xoxoI agree with Rosie, Committed was awesome! Another book I really really liked was A Walk Down the Aisle. I'd try to summarize it, but you're better off just reading Amazon:
If you can't find a copy, I'd be happy to send you mine, it's awesome!
