My partner and I are looking to work together teaching English in either China or Vietnam.
We are an English couple living in the UK as wish to start teaching in February 2013.
We have fully researched our chances of getting a teaching job in South Korea and after much debate decided to look at teaching elsewhere as we are not married.
We are currently looking at China and Vietnam but are struggling to find credible information on ESL/TEFL teaching in China. Most websites either don't specify whats included or do not reply to emails etc.
Vietnam is a whole other story, any research we have done has turned up nothing, except for a few recommendations to just 'show up and wait for a job'. To us this seems pretty reckless as we currently have jobs at home.
We are hoping to teach in schools that are very close to each other and live together in an apartment within a good distance of the schools.
Is there any specific sites that we may have missed that will provide worthwhile information on both China and Vietnam?
We are looking for information on Teaching as a couple, what a school would provide and credible recruiters that will help instead of just passing on details and expectinga fee.
Thank you in advance.
Stephen & Rebecca

Pu'u Pehe (Sweetheart Rock), Lanai
Pu'u Pehe (Sweetheart Rock)
- Name: Pu'u Pehe (Sweetheart Rock)
- What: An iconic Lanai landmark between Manele and Hulopoe Bay
- Where: A short hike from the Four Seasons Resort Lanai
On the southern coast of Lanai is picturesque Hulopoe Bay and Lanai's main boat harbor, Manele Bay. Rising from the sea just between these two bays is the iconic Puu Pehe, or Sweetheart Rock. Besides being a picturesque natural landmark, Puu Pehe is also steeped in Hawaiian legend.
Legend tells of two lovers, a Hawaiian maiden named Pehe from Lahaina and a young warrior from Lanai named Makakehau. He was so taken with her beauty that whenever he laid eyes upon her they would mist up in tears. Hence his name: Maka (eyes) Kehau (mist). He took her back to Lanai and hid her in a sea cave at the base of Manele's cliffs.
One day while gathering supplies he noticed a storm brewing and started back, only to find Pehe drowned by the surge of the storm waves. Stricken with grief, Makakehau gathered his beloved in his arms. He wailed out to the gods and his ancestors to help him climb the steep rock island where he eventually buried her. He then jumped from this 80-foot summit into the pounding surf below.
To get to Puu Pehe you can take a short hike from the Four Seasons Resort Lanai southeast past Hulopoe Beach and the rocky tide pools. Hike up the path along the rocky cliffs for about 15-20 minutes and you'll soon overlook this Lanai landmark. Sunsets here can be especially romantic with dramatic views of Hulopoe Bay. You may even spot the spinner dolphins that frequent these waters perched atop this scenic lookout.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Eric32 and my87z,
Thanks for all your help and encouragement. I was just curious as to hp at the crank to get an estimate at the wheels. I would like to be knocking at the door of the 11 second range. I read of a truck like mine with a 327, fuelie heads, edelbrock goodies and pumping 417hp and running low to mid 11s with stock front end and inner fenders (heavy) and I believe an 8.8" rearend and weighing in at 2150. Maybe I'm lighter! Again thanks for the tips, sounds like I'm going the right way. Also I keep forgetting I'm at work, so gotta go! I'm on second shift.
This is only a suggestion and would not make that much difference but I would change over to a edelbrock rpm performer dual plane to go with that cam and I don't personally think your setup is that far out of match. Your cam is a cross between radical street and strip and performance daily driver. My cam I am sticking in has 284/292 advertised and 222/230 and its going in daily driver so yours is not that bad really. I say your engine should run very nice I just would change the intake to dual plain it would have a little more torque and still pull good all the way to about 6000 rpm with that cam. Have fun and enjoy it. I have another truck with a more way decked out setup and people still tell me I should have this or that. As long as you happy with it and things are matched up decent then why do you have to keep adding things too it. I was planning on redoing my other engine again but I really thought about it and whats wrong with the one I got already? So I am just leaving it along and changing out cam only.
Take care
|that should be a pretty quick truck, if your happy then go ahead pop her in there and have at it
|Well, right now its pretty much ready to put in the truck. Its been in once and drives really nice. Drove it up and down the street and burped it to about 3500 and it hooked up nice and smooth. My main consideration is torque. I believe I don't need a motor really strong at the bottom end because if there is a lot of torque it'll just go up in smoke because the truck only weighs around 2350 stock. The front clip has been replaced with a unit from chassis engineering, the rear has been narrowed and leaf springs removed (all weight reduction), but the rearend is ford 9" (weight gain) with 4.11s and ladder bars with track locator. I'll track it sometimes, show it sometimes and cruise. By the way, when I got the motor it was supposed to be 10:1, but like I said when I pulled the heads and crossed the piston # the speedpro cat said 8.6:1 with .040 gasket. In time, I'd like some aluminum heads or actually go to a 383.
|what are your plans for this motor, are you happy with it, or do you plan on making some changes before it goes into the car/truck
|I have the 76cc heads. Like you, I have also tried to find out who made the cam and there is not even any info on the end of the cam itself.
well you said that you replaced the head gasket, are the heads still off, if so you can check the volume of the combustion chambers, can you see the part# or s/n# this should also tell you (this would be the best way) that would be a very important thing to know
about you cam, i tried to look up who might make it, and i cant find it (that doesn't mean much) i was trying to figure out the LSA/CL, 230 @ 050 on a 292 cam is a little low, but its not bad, on a 350 is should sound pretty nice, if you have th 67cc heads it's possible to have 380-390hp but i wouldn't expect much more than that (and that is tuned well) but if its the 76cc heads i would guess a bit lower
|Allright, I'm at home now (using computer at work last night). Here's what I got. The pistons ride approximately .020 - .025 in the hole (piston slap) so with the .015 gasket it should be okay. I know - its tight. I finally found cam specs. I messed up last night. The cam is .490 lift both sides, 292 adv duration with 230 @ .050 both sides. When originally bought, the motor was claimed to be a 400hp 355 and that was with the S/R torquer heads, Victor Jr., Holley carb, all the stuff I mentioned last night except I believe they probably used the 67cc head instead of the 76cc.
Cant say for the setup you got but with some dyno tests I have seen with a comp xtreme engergy mild grind flat tappet cam with around 218/224 @ 50 and a little less lift then that a 350 made around 340 plus hp with those set of heads with no port work done. The intake was a edelbrock dual plane performer. I would say you should have 325 to 350 easy. If you had world product sportsman II's and some better matching parts you could make over 400 hp easy. My setup is a 350, world sportsman 2's with edelbrock performer rpm, crane powermax hydraullic roller 284/292, 222/230 @50 with 513/ 528 lift. 9:2 to 1 CR with edelbrock 750 performer. Bottom end with flattop pistons and my block was decked etc to get me decent quench etc. My setup should make me around 400 or so. I had a super victor intake before and it was fine but after I went to a performer rpm I like the bottom end much better and did not really notice the difference too much on the top end. Like always you think your done with your motor and somwhere down the road you want to change something. It seems its always a work in progress.
Have fun on your build.
a 292 duration cam should be around 240@ 050, but LSA/LCA are still very important, this is a decent amount of duration on a 350 and yes it is possible that the vic jr would work better, you'll just be bringing the powerband up some with the single plane, i would still be very cautious about the 015 head gasket, without machine work going from a 040 gasket to a 015 is a little crazy (if the quench was set up right to begin with)
if your quench was around 040 to begin with and now they have lowered it to 025 just to get a little cr out of it, that is stupid!, optimum quench is 035-044 you can go as high as 060 but i wouldn't, the smart thing would not have been to put a 015 gasket on but to never have bought the 76cc s/r's
i would also be a little concerned about the cr with the cam chosen, but as i dont know the rest of the specs im not for sure i know the 292H comps cam want about a 10.0:1 cr, and you dont need a 750 to run this at the track, a 350 that will only rev to about 62-6400rpm will only need a 650, if you plan on hitting 7k i would advise a good 750 but you would still be fine with a 650
|Yeah, it does seem pretty hard to get that. I know the compression was low so that is why I went with a .015 shim gasket and hopefully achieve at least 9:1. I believe the double pumper would be overkill unless you are actually at the track all the time. The motor is in a 76 620 Datsun truck and I'm figuring 20% drivetrain loss which with your estimate would put around 280 at the wheels.
|My estimate would be about 350. Possibly a bit less even. It's a bit mismatched. More compression and a double pumper would match better with the victor jr. 400 hp is not as easy as people like to believe.
|The .040 gasket was replaced with the .015 shim gasket to boost compression to around 9:1. Quench area was checked out and is okay. I don't have the cam specs except lift and total duration. The duration is adv 292 both sides. I have an old desktop dyno and looking at the graphs, there is not much difference between a dual plane and a single plane except at the very low end. The 650 would be great for the street, but this is not going to be a daily driver. Some track action, shows, and cruising are the goal, plus its a 3310 vacuum secondary not a double pumper.
|to give you and estimate most would need to know more about the cam, adv duration, duration @ .050, LSA/LCA, you mention that a .015 head gasket is or was what was on it, but that a .040 makes 8.6:1, are you replacing the gaskets? if so before you go using a .015 gasket check you quench and if you dont have atleast .020 deck clearance then you will need a .040, world product heads used to be the heads to have about 10-15 yrs ago, but they are very outdated with todays iron heads, you also mention a single plane vic jr intake, i dont know the rest of the specs of the cam but this sounds a little mismatched, i would have gone with a eddy RPM intake or similar dual plane, and last a 750 holley is overkill for this motor, a 650 is more than enough to handle most 350's

Barack Obama: I'm Not A Cheater
By mustang6560 on 3/1/12
As the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama is afforded many luxuries in life including a private jet, a personal chef and a mansion in Washington DC to name a few. But despite all of his power and influence, one luxury Obama is not accustom to is the four-foot gimmie putt.
In an interview with grantland.com, the POTUS told Bill Simmons that he's proud of the fact that he doesn't cheat in golf (like a certain former President, cough, cough, Bill, cough) or accept four-foot gimmie putts. As long as he's not slowing down the pace of play, I'm OK with him putting everything out.

No politics please. It only brings down the atmosphere.
Joness says:
Getting away from Politics, I just read a story about a guy in the regular club comp at a Melbourne club who hit a great second shot but was not sure where it finished. When he got there he couldn't find it. With no one looking he quickly dropped another ball, pitched it on and sunk the putt for 4. Got caught out when he went to the cup to find 2 balls in there - one being his original. Put a bit of a dampener on his eagle celbration!!
onedollarwed says:
Not sure if that's an innuendo, or a parable. Great point here though: I've played with many golfers, and some those golfers' fathers. I find that cheaters often get their unbreakable bad cheating habits from the pop. Golf is hard and feels great when you truly improve. You should be able to show that through honest score keeping - none of that bleed over from match to stroke scoring. I tell my friends who want to cheat but are on the fence after a crappy hole: "It's okay to write an 11 on your card. It's just a number. The only things that makes you a lesser person is if it's not the right one. It's a random number on a random piece of paper that will be lost to history." I don't really mind if people cheat per say, but don't tell me your score afterwards!
golfmaniac says:
So what he is saying is if someone gives you a putt and you accept it thats cheating. In my opinion this is what is wrong with golf today. Everyone is wrapped up in the score for the round. I play every Saturday and Sunday morning and we play various team match events and we give putts that the you are expected to make. Really the total score for the round you shoot is irrelevant and our playing time is typically around 3 hours and we walk. What matters to us is the match not your score. Now obviously when we play a stroke play events all the rules of golf are followed. In my opinion I see too many people standing over a 3 footer for score of 8 so they can say I shot a 95 by the rules. That kind of play leads to 5 hour rounds and golf that is not enjoyable.
bkuehn1952 says:
This is not intended as a knock against the President but no one should be proud that they do not cheat. When one does what is required or expected, that is just conducting oneself properly. A person can be proud of going beyond what is required or expected. When we set the "proud bar" so low that we can be proud of not doing something wrong, it is time to examine our standards.
larrynjr says:
@bkuehn, true but considering how often cheating is acceptable in all other sports and area's of our lives, plus how many of "us" cheat at golf. If golfer truly is an honest player, that is something to be proud of. On the otherhand, saying it about yourself is suspect. If others acknowledge that I am an honest, non cheating player, that would be great to be known that way but to self promote? Not impressive.
falcon50driver says:
I have found that when a person expounds about how honest they are, It's usually because they are very dishonest.

I have read on other sites that they have since changed their mind - there will not be a joint combat pistol - There will still be an order of guns, and that is up in the air - but they won't be replacing all those Beretta M9s for a while, afterall. So, supposedly, the contract will be for a lot less guns.
I hope HK gets it w/ their HK45, though.

Read Me: The Golden Rule
The moderators of this site and Jon, the administrator, have come up with this code of conduct for all members to follow. Please read it and heed it. Thanks to 4JawChuck for putting all our thoughts into one coherent statement.
The Golden Rule:
It has come to the attention of the moderating staff here at HR.com that a minor portion of the membership have been violating the membership agreement. Specifically we are referring to the portion of the agreement that refers to personal conduct on the board. This is a relatively grey area of the agreement you signed when you joined this forum and as such is rarely strictly enforced since it is universally regarded as a common sense rule that we assume you were taught as a child.
What am I referring to?
The Golden Rule, treat others as you would have them treat you. Pretty simple really but we are seeing an increase in members breaking the Golden Rule on a regular basis, we expect you as an adult member of this forum to remember this in your postings and not to incite or respond to other members with cruel intentions or words designed to provoke an escalating response.
We can all agree to disagree without inciteful language or name calling, otherwise the moderating staff will simply delete your comments and suspend your privileges for a period of time that we vote is appropriate. If that sounds like a "spanking and being sent to the corner" to contemplate your actions...it is. As your Mom/Dad might have said...we don't like doing it anymore than you like it.
The moderating staff all agree this is not a widespread problem, but it is a problem for some. We have a list of repeat offenders in a special thread in the moderating forum of those that may require special treatment because of their behavior. Needless to say it is as distasteful to us as it sounds, none of us signed up to become babysitters on the internet. We have not acted to date except in exceptional cases but as of today that is changing, this rule applies to your PM's to other members as well...we can't read what you say in your PM's to each other but if you are acting in the background and breaking the "Golden Rule" privately and the receiver complains to us about your actions we will act immediately and decisively.
If you are a bully in public or private on this board you will be suspended, perhaps permanently... I think everyone can agree no one deserves to be harassed on this forum...EVER! You are not anonymous on the web in spite of what you may have read.
My recommendation to all new and existing members is to look at each thread and respond to the OP (original poster) and limit your responses to them taking the golden rule into account. Arguing or name calling to other posters (or the OP!) in that thread means your doing it wrong...very wrong. Let the OP make the decision if your information is worth following or not, you have no right to decide if someones elses information is wrong or not and certainly do not have the right to make an issue with someone else postings in that thread...you might both be wrong. There are plenty of ways to correct a previous posters possible inconsistencies or inaccuracy's without starting a flame war. Proofread your posts prior to hitting that "Submit new post" tab, your words can be taken out of context if you don't.
In particular please treat newer members with respect, they are often young and impressionable and may have come from another forum where the rules are different and simply do not know what is acceptable here, in that case let us do our job and we will moderate as seen fit. We appreciate those who identify threads that do not fit into the forum etiquette such as threads that are obvious advertisements etc...but sending us notifications when a thread is "dumb" or if the poster appears to be spelling/language challenged...is not necessary. We get enough e-mail to choke a large farm animal everyday and you letting us know if a member has spelling issues is none of your concern.
Please act as if your Mom would be reading what you write, maybe she is...remember we really hate being your MOM!
Thanks for listening, your contributions to this forum are extremely valuable and timeless...you don't want your children to be reading how poorly you treated other people here...rather we would prefer them to look back and say;
"Wow he/she really knew their stuff, being able to go back in time and see what he/she was saying back then is great! Whats an internal combustion engine?"
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain

May 8, 2014
NEW YORK -- Offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James became the 45th Tennessee player selected in the first round of the NFL Draft as he was picked by the Miami Dolphins with the 19th overall selection on Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall.
I am so blessed and appreciate the Dolphins so much for this opportunity! Ready to go to work with my new team! #FinsUp-- Ja'Wuan James (@JawuanJames70) May 9, 2014
Thank you to everyone @ UT!! I appreciate everyone who's helped me along the way. Love y'all #OLP #VFL-- Ja'Wuan James (@JawuanJames70) May 9, 2014
Tennessee now has 335 all-time selections in the NFL Draft, most of any SEC program. The Vols have produced 27 first-round selections dating to 1989, sixth-most of any program.
James is the first Tennessee offensive lineman selected in the first round since current Vol For Life Program Coordinator Antone Davis was picked eighth overall in the 1991 draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. James is just the sixth Vols offensive lineman selected in the first round all-time.
James is the 12th player from Tennessee drafted by the Dolphins and the fourth offensive lineman, after Thomas last year, Harry Galbreath in 1988 and John Boynton in 1968. The last Vol picked in the first round by the Dolphins was defensive back Jason Allen in 2006.
"I'm a tough, smart offensive lineman," James said when asked about his strengths as an offensive lineman. "I pride myself on being smart and not making many mistakes. I bring athleticism to the table and a lot of experience, too, being able to play that many games at the position in the conference I did."
Miami Dolphins General Manager is thrilled to welcome James. "We're excited about the skill set that he brings. He brings in what the Dolphins are all about. We're really excited to have him a part of our organization."
James started all 49 games of his college career, all at right tackle, including all 12 in his senior season of 2013. With 49 starts, the Suwanee, Ga., native set the record for career starts by an offensive lineman in Tennessee history, passing Jeff Smith (48). His 49 games played, stands second to former teammate and 2013 Senior Bowl invitee Dallas Thomas (50) for most games played on the offensive line at Tennessee.
He participated in the NFL Combine in Indianapolis after playing in the 2014 Reese's Senior Bowl.
The 6-6, 318-pound James was an All-SEC second-team selection by the Associated Press in 2013. He was also a member of the preseason Outland Trophy Watch List. James earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week on Dec. 2 following his college finale at Kentucky, when he set the school record for consecutive start by a Vols offensive lineman. As a senior, James helped the Vols to 2,261 rushing yards in 2013, the most by UT since 2004. With James as a anchor, the Vols' offensive line allowed just 23 sacks over the last two years, including just eight in 2012, the fourth fewest in the NCAA at 0.67 per game. Tennessee had five games of more than 500 yards of total offense in 2012.
James is reunited with fellow lineman Dallas Thomas with the Miami Dolphins. Last season, Thomas as a third-round pick by the Dolphins. Check out this feature on the pair when they took a martial arts class.

New charges filed in fake pilot case
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A French man accused of impersonating a pilot after sitting in an airliner cockpit at Philadelphia International Airport now faces federal charges.
The U.S. District Attorney's office said Philippe Jeannard, 61, of La Rochelle, France, was charged Monday with criminal trespass.
He already faced state charges including trespass, forgery and false impersonation.
Authorities said Jeannard was wearing a shirt with an Air France logo and carrying a counterfeit Air France ID card when he boarded a Florida-bound US Airways flight Wednesday.
Jeannard was a ticketed passenger but allegedly sat in a cockpit jump seat behind the pilot, then became verbally abusive. The affidavit said Jeannard told crew members he was an Air France pilot.
Jeannard remains in custody; it's unclear whether he had an attorney on the federal charges.

Oil price falls further on IEA energy forecast
The price of oil has fallen further after the International Energy Agency forecast weaker demand in 2015.
The IEA, a consultancy to 29 countries, said supply and demand would take "some time" to respond to sharp falls in oil prices.
It said it was too early to expect low oil prices to start constricting a US supply boom.
On Friday, Brent crude fell to below 63 dollars a barrel, its lowest price since July 2009.

text: THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE DETROIT PISTONS Based on Langlois latest article, it appears that Joe may be replacing Tay, Rip and Sheed. The potential for a whole new starting lineup minus Stuckey is imminent. With all of this said, it's time to stop castrating Joe D and move on to more substantive issues like predicting who our next starters will be. Let me be the first to say that I love Joe D, I hate some of the decisions that he has made over the past few years, but I respect the man to the utmost for his character, as well as, a former pistons player, hall of famer and GM. He is hands down one of the best in the business. We all sung his praise not so long ago for pulling the rug from under Danny Ainge, as well as, him being one of the best if not the best GM in the business. Since none of us here are clairvoyant or psychic, no one was privy to what Dumars and the late Bill D actually discussed, we can only speculate. It's okay to vent, BMC (%%%%%, moan and complain) and even talk about Dumars bad decisions, but to defame the man; that's totally unacceptable and is just not right. (IMO). I am willing to bet that 99.9 percent of us in the forum have made some screwed up decisions in our lives and in or jobs, even decision that have ended up negatively in one way or the other. Yes, our shi...... stinks too, and by the way we didn't get fired and our family supported us. We have all been conjecturing and predicting for the past few years. We can now finally come into this forum with realistic ideas of our next free agents, trades, i.e. The starting lineup will be gutted this off-season and there are plenty, I repeat plenty of unending possibilities. There are two facts as we go forward 1)Bill D has passed on and 2)Joe D will be the Pistons GM for a VERY long time. So with that said; here is my wish list. 1. Trade Rip to the Wizards for their #1 pick in this upcoming draft. I heard Flip on the local radio here. He stated that they will be keeping thier big three together, but open to trading their pick. Rip's name have been mentioned a lot here in the Post and on local sports talk shows. Additionally, we take maybe one or two of their expiring. 2. Trade Tay and Amir to Toronto for Bosh and even give the Raps a future first rounder. (I realize Bosh is a FA next year) 3. Go after Ramon Sessions or another pure PG, moving Stuckey to Combo guard. 4. If #2 falls through look at Chandler or West. 5. With the Wizards pick, enter Thabeet. (Can you imagine Thabeet and Bosh as a front line). We finally have an opportunity to really do some Pistons Forum projections for our next starting lineup. I realize that this thread will get hijacked eventually because that's one of the things that we do consistently on this forum. We are like ADHD kids, our mind stays on the issue for a few posts, then we go all over the place.


text: TV coverage of the European Championships this year was almost none existent. Eurosport provided no coverage of the short programs/dance, and the 1 hour long advertised live coverage for each of the free programs/dance was mostly cut in half, with the winners/top finishers programs often being missed out completely. All in all, the coverage was to say the least, extremely poor. Canadian fans have also encountered similar problems as this article points out, and as Phil Hersh highlighted in this article a few months ago, there have been problems with American coverage as well. In fact, the only part of the world that is defying the trend towards deteriorating coverage is of course Asia. But how long will that last? The problem with deteriorating coverage is the missed opportunity to inspire a new generation of fans. The core audience ages, and the two trends combined produce an even smaller audience. This in turn makes it even less likely that TV companies will be interested in covering the sport. Consequently, the sport is locked into a vicious circle and a downward spiral. This is something that the ISU needs to address as a matter of urgency, and proactively tackle. One idea would be for the ISU to provide an online subscription service in those areas where events have no coverage. That way, at least there is coverage, and the ISU can make a bit of much needed money out of it at the same time. So, is the lack of TV coverage worldwide holding the sport back? Would an online subscription service provided by the ISU for those areas that have no coverage plug the gap?

Wash. Post conflicted on Krauthammer conflict
Research ››› ››› DAVID BROCK
The controversy over syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer's role in offering private advice to Bush administration strategists and a Bush speechwriter while failing to disclose his role to readers and viewers grew this weekend with a series of articles examining the matter in The Washington Post, which syndicates Krauthammer's column. Krauthammer is also a FOX News contributor.
The controversy began when Post staff writers Dan Balz and Jim VandeHei reported January 22 that the White House process of preparing Bush's inaugural address included "consultation with a number of outside experts," including Krauthammer and Weekly Standard editor William Kristol. On January 24, Media Matters for America demonstrated that both Kristol and Krauthammer subsequently praised Bush's speech on FOX News Channel while failing to disclose their private consultations with White House officials. Kristol also wrote a laudatory article about the speech for The Weekly Standard without disclosing any private connection to it.
A January 29 Post article by staff writer and media critic Howard Kurtz quoted Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt, who publishes Krauthammer's column, as saying that the contention that Krauthammer consulted on the speech -- as reported January 22 by the Post's news department -- "is false"; Hiatt also wrote in a January 29 column that Krauthammer "has gotten a bum rap." But Kurtz quoted Liz Spayd, the paper's assistant managing editor for national news, as saying: "We stand by the story we wrote. We have a firsthand source who says it was crystal clear a primary purpose of the meeting was to seek advice on both Bush's inaugural and State of the Union speeches."
Kristol described to Kurtz a breakfast he had with Peter Wehner, director of the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives, and presidential speechwriter Michael Gerson, in November 2004 to discuss "themes for the second term and included in that, themes for the inaugural." Kristol said the inaugural address was not discussed "concretely." Wehner told Kurtz he may have discussed the speech with Kristol but wasn't sure.
Kurtz reported that the invitation to a January 10 White House meeting attended by Krauthammer said: "What should this administration do/say more of -- and what should it do/say less of? What are the key achievable goals we should aim for during the next four years?" Kurtz reported that Wehner, who attended the meeting along with Gerson, White House counselor Dan Bartlett, and White House senior adviser Karl Rove, among others, asked Krauthammer "to lead off the discussion on 'spreading liberty to the Middle East.'" Krauthammer described the meeting to Kurtz as "an informal, off-the-record discussion of U.S. Middle East policy. ... This meeting was not designed to be the exercise in speech preparation. Nor did I have that impression during the meeting itself that it was. If I had, I would have mentioned it when commenting on it." Wehner told Kurtz the meeting was "pretty much divorced" from Bush's inaugural address.
On January 30, Post ombudsman Michael Getler weighed in, writing that "Krauthammer has since told the Post that the speech never came up at the meeting, that he did not consider himself to have been consulting in any way on it, and that if it had come up, he would have disclosed it." Getler did not address the point that Post news editor Spayd was quoted in Kurtz's article the previous day as saying that the newspaper stands by its story that a "primary purpose of the meeting was to seek advice on both Bush's inaugural and State of the Union speeches."
Krauthammer and Spayd can't both be correct, and Getler, while appearing to accept Krauthammer's statement, was apparently unwilling or unable to resolve the conflict.
Getler concluded: "If they [Krauthammer and Kristol] were involved in some fashion in helping shape the themes of the speech, and were then going to comment on it, they should have acknowledged their role or participation. Even better, in my view, would be for columnists, generally, to stay out of White House advisory deliberations. They have ample opportunity to lay out their thoughts in public."
Leaving aside the January 22 Post report that Krauthammer consulted on the inaugural address, which he denies, the issue of the disclosure of the White House meeting and any advice Krauthammer may have given remains. Kurtz wrote that Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, "said a columnist who offered the White House foreign-policy advice should disclose that when writing on the subject." Rosenstiel told Kurtz: "If there is nothing wrong with doing it, there's nothing wrong with sharing it. ... Journalists owe their first allegiance to their audience." Rosenstiel added that another "potential problem" is that "policymakers like to meet with journalists and ask their advice as a way of co-opting them."
Kurtz's article confirmed that both Kristol and Krauthammer privately consulted with high White House officials about presidential policies and communications. Subsequently, both Kristol and Krauthammer have written and commented publicly on the administration without disclosure. For example, eleven days after meeting at the White House to discuss what Wehner called "spreading liberty in the Middle East," Krauthammer wrote a January 21 column headlined "Tomorrow's Threat," in which he argued: "The great project of the Bush administration -- the strengthening and spread of democracy -- is enjoying considerable success."
Hiatt told Kurtz that "Post editorial board members are not permitted to offer politicians private advice," but "obviously I have less ability to set rules for people who don't work for me."
Krauthammer has yet to disclose his private meeting with top White House officials to his readers in his column -- syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group and published by Hiatt -- even as he continues to write about the administration, and the Post is apparently leaving the decision on whether to do so up to him.

Love is often overused and undervalued. We love everything from foods to cars, from movies to retailers, from people to God himself.

Zeppelin Air Review
A Test Flight in Three Parts
During his tenure as a Crutchfield staff writer, Marshall Chase wrote about home theater receivers, sound bars, and in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
More from Marshall Chase
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air
I recently had an opportunity to review the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air iPod music system. Now, this is not your average iPod® dock. Its bulging center and narrow ends really do make it look like something you'd see floating over a football stadium. Bowers & Wilkins' reputation for excellence had me filled with high expectations for sound quality.
I left work with the system thinking that here is a gizmo that plays the iPod, either docked or wireless, that's going to sound great, fill a good sized space and be fairly simple to use. Those formed the parameters of the in-flight test, and the Zeppelin Air did not disappoint me.
It's the "Air" in Zeppelin Air
Apple AirPlay® was the feature I was most interested in testing out. Apple's AirPlay is a way to wirelessly stream media from your iTunes library to a compatible device. The cool thing about this is that since the streaming occurred through my home Wi-Fi® network, I could be anywhere on the property and change the tune, or even adjust the volume. (To learn more about this technology, see our Intro to Apple AirPlay)
Now, I am someone who has adopted iPod vicariously. That is, when I want to use one, I borrow my daughter or stepson's device. So I am actually new to the iPod culture, which makes me the butt of a little humor in my household. (Insert Cro-Magnon joke here.)
Bowers & Wilkins provide great instructions for setting up AirPlay for the first time. Even while following the instructions, I accidentally managed to get into a little trouble.
One part of the set-up involves connecting the Zep to your computer with an included network cable and going to a Bowers and Wilkins website for initialization. Apparently, not every web browser automatically inserts the http:// address prefix when you type in a URL.
So, it took a consultation with my stepson to discover where I had gone wrong. Once I cleared that glitch, I found the Bowers & Wilkins steps to be spot on and the rest of the setup was fairly quick. There was the matter of distracting laughter and friendly jibes from the local youth, but that dissipated when the music took over so I could begin to make repairs to my "expert" status.
ABBA Air
We used my daughter's iPod touch® and began streaming ABBA wirelessly to the Zeppelin Air. The birthday girl (13) is a big fan of the movie Mamma Mia, which features the music of the 1970's Swedish group. The very first words spoken by this particular Zep were "You can dance; you can jive, having the time of your life." The actual dancing and jiving started soon after.
When the guests arrived, the Zeppelin was moved outdoors onto a concrete patio with a carport cover. The space is about 20' by 20' and the speaker system came to land on a hard rubber storage bin at the outer perimeter. At first, I didn't think this was acoustically ideal, but I was mistaken.
The cuts flowed wirelessly from the iPod touch to the Zeppelin Air, with song selections coming fast and furious.
I thought the rapid changes would slow the Zep down to a crawl. But there were no delays. Eventually we got to hear a song all the way through — Avril Lavigne's Contagious. This rocking tune came through perfectly with the fullness of the artist's hard-singing, Telecaster-smacking self. The drums and bass filled in well and, in true daddy-of-a-teen form, I was asking my daughter to please turn it down a notch. This was easy to do with the iPod touch OR with Bowers & Wilkins' great little concrete-fall-surviving remote. After all, what 13-year-old's birthday party would be complete without some experimentation with Newton's law of universal gravitation?
Graduating to trance and more
The next event to test the Zeppelin Air was my stepson's college graduation party. With Pomp and Circumstance a distant memory, this new baccalaureate wanted some party to go with his pork barbecue. His iPod classic doesn't work with AirPlay, because it lacks wireless capability.
No problem. The Zeppelin Air has a dock for just such occasions that enables control with its hearty remote as well as charging. I've heard that some people express regret that the dock doesn't retract, but I found the sturdy front armature form to be highly functional since it doubles as a convenient handle.
So, the young man started off mercifully with a flurry of tunes that his mom and I found not only recognizable, but great sounding. It was the first time I can say that Eric Clapton did Cocaine (the studio version) on my patio. It sounded great, as always. This time I was the one who cranked it. While it didn't shake the roof, I was still asked to turn it down a notch.
As guests continued to arrive and the average age of the group plummeted, the Zeppelin Air was replaced by my stepson's car audio system. The sound from the Air didn't travel the distance well to the fire pit and was shy of the bass capabilities of the two 12" subs in my stepson's vehicle.
There's a UFO (Unusually Fun Object) in my house!
While the outdoor challenges were fine for the kids, I wanted to hear how the Zeppelin aIR would sound playing tunes I enjoyed indoors. Once again I borrowed my daughter's iPod touch. The Zep makes a direct digital connection with the iPod when docked and will even do Apple Lossless using AirPlay. I couldn't discern any difference in sound quality whether the iPod was docked or streaming.
I put the Zep through the motions, listening to everything from Billie Holiday to Billy Idol. In every case the result was room-filling sound, and a wide, spacious, accurate playback regardless of the source. But the best part was the über-cool capability to change the song and volume using the iPod from any room in the house even when I couldn't see the Zeppelin Air. This is a feat that I just can't pull off with my older non-AirPlay-ready Marantz receiver.
It was a great spin!
I've heard a LOT of iPod music systems, but haven't had the chance to actually live with too many of them. I love my Marantz NR1501 receiver and PSB Image T6 speakers (which I've written about before). But with my growing collection on iTunes, it doesn't make for the most convenient access of the household music library.
In all the use I've made of the Zeppelin Air, it never disappointed. Bowers & Wilkins has a well-earned reputation for high-fidelity audio equipment and this piece was no exception. In fact, it really has some class. The speaker complement seemed just right for the space and occasions I provided, which were varied. While it didn't meet the power-hungry volume demands of a 20-something party from a placement 50 yards away, even they appreciated it for a while. The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is something I think anyone who is serious about quality sound would enjoy having moored close by.

Discussion in 'January 2012' started by roscoe36, Jan 29, 2012.
Prince will start lining up the fade away 3s. We will get 60 for sure.
Well, they have struggled in third quarters before, and then early this year it was the Fourth Quarter Collapse, now it's more like a Full Game Struggle. They're just playing terribly outside of Monroe. Just saw Tay's 5 of 13 - Monroe is 6 of 11. Wow. That's the problem right there. Veteran leadership! Austin Daye commits the dumbest fouls ever. And why is Amare still in there? Ugh.
You know, if we could just eliminate the beginning, ending, and middle to quarters, the Pistons would keep these games a lot closer.
Here comes the 2 minute comeback drive
Human White Flag...Vernon Macklin comes in for his GT stint.....with six minutes and some change left...he will probably outscore both Ben and Wilkens.
A 24 point differential. I wonder if they can blow us out to 30 points?
Look at Jonas gunning it. 10 points. 2 Rebounds. 1 TO. 100% shooting. 3 PF. All in 11 minutes :O
The more Daye plays, the worse he looks. If he spots up and shoots, he is doing his thing. If tries anything else (dribble, pass, play defense, etc.), he is out of his comfort zone.
When they were relatively competitive in the first quarter, I was hoping we'd at least be able to compete - and then the Knicks get the lead up to 10, 12, 20 by the third and the blowout is in. The offense looks an awful lot like it did last year, except Monroe actually gets the ball every once in a while when Tay's not exerting his "leadership" on the ball. Greg continues to be solid. He's the best player on this team and shoots the best percentage, but they just don't go to him as often as they should. Brandon's shot is still off. Got a lucky bounce on a 3 that went in, but he's just not playing with as much energy or aggression. He defers to Tay and Stuck way too much. He looked like he's getting his legs back a little bit; the extra blowout-induced rest should help. His turnover problem is back as well. The guy looks so incredibly frustrated out there. Taysolayshaun, Isotayshaun, Isolayshaun - whatever you might call it, it's Tay's favorite play. He never fails to pull his signature pump fake or his signature palm the ball for 5 seconds and then shoot a hook shot play. I wish they'd stop running that play. Stuck still has a tendency to hog the ball. He did shoot a decent percentage though. Vernon needs to play.
At least we're seeing some growth from our newbies and stability from our veter.........oh, forget it.
Great quote.
Another game loss by uninspired play, no hustle and the inability to find the bottom of the rim when it counted and to many turnovers by the road team. Also a bad end to the half that carried over into the 3rd where they only scored 12 points. Both teams entered the game winners of one out of their last 9, so how does one team beat the other by 27?? Because no bad how the Knicks have looked recently, they had some ballers on the team, and we have...well a few that are trying to ballers and the rest that are out there because we have to play five on the floor. The Knick fans can celebrate tonight and then will probably lose their next three and the fans will be on them again after the Superbowl is over... I was listening the first half on the radio in the car, and listening the Knick announcers who were upset with the NY defense because the Pistons were hanging around trailing only by 6.....(they got it down to four and then Knicks stretched to 12 before the half ended.) Watched the second half on the tube, and as usual Blaha and Kelser were calm still hoping in the 4th with the Pistons down 20 that they could possibly pull it out.
I wonder if teams just enjoy stomping on the Pistons now that they're down. or maybe its considered bad form to lose to such an awful team.
0 assists and 6 turnovers for Monroe Tayshaun was -27 in 27 minutes on the floor. Ben Wallace had yet another scoreless game as a starter. Knight with 1 assist and 3 turnovers as a starter 4 out of 5 of our starters got their shots blocked. We committed 20 turnovers. Jerebko only played 15 minutes and led the team in scoring. That's really strange. After 2 really entertaining games, we've had to endure a series of unwatchable duds where we get destroyed from the get go.
The NY announcers clearly said that the Pistons are a BAD team, and there was no excsue for the Knicks allow them to hang that close. (despite them losing all of those games games in the past week themselves.......) Even the guys on Sports Center said earlier in the day " that the Knicks should be able to get back on the winning track facing the lowly Pistons tonight". I am sure that Avery Johnson is looking for a victory tomorrow over the pistons after losing to the Pacers tonight.
....What's even stranger is that 13 of JJ's 15 points were scored in the last 7 minutes of the game.(GT)....when it was already over. Talking about getting hot too late???? He hit one 3, three buckets and hit four free throws during that time frame...
Every time I hear the NY announcers on league pass I realize how good they are. They know the competition and appreciate them. They make interesting unbiased observations. They are objective about their own players and don't actively root for them. It's more like watching a nationally televised game.
The on air TV NY broadcasters are Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen, who does some national broadcasts for ABC/ESPN. But two I heard on my XM radio in the car were Spiro Dedis and John Andriess and they definitely were homers....
I have not had the possibility to see any games lately so I have to ask - What the (!) is up with coach and Jerebko? Is there an injury? There is not a lot of minutes the last past games.
Austin Daye. And JJ is a little foul prone. The team hasn't looked half as active as they were in those two games against Miami/Atlanta. I'm sure some of it is fatigue, but they looked like strangers out there. No one seemed to have any chemistry with anybody, despite clearly having some in the two good games against the Heat and Hawks.

|Summit makes a rebuild kit for 327 rated 11.8:1w/ 64cc heads.That should make you around 9.8-10:1. I wouldn't can the 327 in my oppinion they rev twice as fast as a 350.As far as a cam just match it to everything you've got intake, carb cfm,heads,converter stall,valves,gears,etc...
327 rebuild help. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
Ive been going nuts trying to match the right parts for my rebuild.
I have a 67 impala that has a 327 small journal mains in it. I was going to
have it bored .030 over and rebuild it with a descent sized cam(any suggestions) and 10.1
forged flat-tops,headers,4.10 rear end gear, and a powerglide tranny. The problem is I brought my heads into my machine man
and a problem came up. I have a set of 1.94 76 cc heads with hardened seats
that were rated one of the top ten stock heads for chevy sb. But having the
small journal 327 im loosing compression, plus loosing compression with the 76cc heads. Is there any pistons i can run to get a true 10.1 ratio?
Or should I opt for spending my money on a 350 or 400? I would like to keep my 327 ,anyone have any comments on a 327 please let me know.I intend it for an everyday driver but plan on running it on the drag strip once or twice. I also know a guy selling a sb 400 with dart heads,eagle crank and rods, for a thousand but i dont want to end up with something that might need rebuilt. Any suggestions on what to do with this 327?

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger admits his Arsenal side need to improve defensively - but believes the attacking quality on display in England has improved of late.
Having kept clean sheets in their first three games of the season, the Gunners have now kept only one in their last 11 matches.
They conceded five times against Reading in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night, and Wenger insists they must tighten up at the back.
"[It concerns me] a little bit - when you are 4-0 down in 37 minutes you can't say all is well on that front!" he said.
"You have to give credit as well to the offensive quality in the Premier League, and to the offensive quality of Reading the other night. It is not always about your weaknesses, it is about strengths as well.
"Last night the [Chelsea v Manchester United] game finished 5-4, but it could have been seven as well. Both teams had chances. I believe the offensive quality has improved a lot.
"You see everywhere, people going forward are top class. I believe it's more down maybe [to] the teams having more creative players. Creative players are a bit less defensive orientated.
"The balance is a bit more in favour of offence. That's why you see, not only are the defenders a bit more exposed, but as well the quality they face is higher."
While Wenger pledged to focus on improving his side's defensive record, he says there is only so much you can do at the training ground.
"It is not only down to work, we worked last year as well," he said. "People forget that last year we were the team with the least shots against us in the league.
"We have always worked defensively. It is not just because you don't work that you concede goals."

Boise, Idaho • Patience.
Stalking the sidelines of Bronco Stadium, Gary Andersen said that word repeatedly on Saturday night in a 41-15 victory over Toledo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
Players were frustrated at the lack of offensive productivity. The passing game was good, but not great. The running game, outside of a long touchdown burst from Chuckie Keeton, was nonexistent. The Rockets were hanging around, trailing 13-9 with seven minutes remaining.
"I just thought we were pressing some, and I thought we would eventually break out and get some positive plays and momentum," Andersen said. "We thought that we would be able to make some plays and get into space."
Andersen was proved right. Kerwynn Williams would go on to score three touchdowns in as many possessions. Backup running back Joe Hill scored a fourth touchdown. By the end of the game, seemingly anything USU ran worked.
The Aggies simply wore Toledo down on the interior through the first three quarters. So, even with the running game sputtering, by the end of regulation, there were huge holes for the backs to scamper through.
"The offensive line was just very good tonight," Williams said. "We knew that good things were going to happen if we just stayed consistent, stayed true to ourselves and took what the defense gave us."
Utah State has been that kind of team all season, the one that could explode offensively at any moment. The Aggies proved that against San Jose State. They proved it against Louisiana Tech. Earlier in the season, they proved it against teams like Colorado State and UNLV. And they proved it on Saturday night.
The Aggies have won seven consecutive games to close out the best season in program history. And the patience paid off handsomely when it counted.
"We were so worried about Chuckie Keeton that we forgot a little bit about Kerwynn Williams," Rockets head coach Matt Campbell said. "We left the middle open a little too much. In a game like this, you can't win without taking care of the details. We didn't take care of the details tonight, and it cost us."
Utah State in the fourth quarter
• USU scores four touchdowns in six minutes.
• The Aggies gain 228 of their 582 yards in the final quarter.
• Kerwynn Williams scores three touchdowns on consecutive possessions.

|Excellent post Corey. You explained a lot about the setting of a paint gun. I will try to follow what you said. This needs added to FAQ #4.
|Vintage Kolours
primer orange peel
A few suggestions that should get you spraying orange peel free
First off, 1.8 is kinda big, better word is it's huge. I'd suggest using a 1.5 tip.
Here's a few tips that work at my shop.
Set you wall regulator to 100psi, this should give you the cfm that your gun requires and with out the added pressure drop. Next set the micrometer at the gun to factory specs with the trigger fully pressed and fan wide open. Next your going to set your fluid needle's volume. Completely back out the volume adjustment screw until it comes completely off, then just start the screw back in so that there is now pressure on the needle's spring.
Next fully trigger the gun (of course with it disconnected from the air line and no material in the gun) and start turning the volume control screw until you feel pressure on the trigger. This is what you call a full trigger which most guns are designed to spray at.
Now for the test patter test. The rule of thumb is 8x8. 8 inch fan and 8 inch distance from what your painting. With the gun fully loaded with paint, and using the 8x8 rule, which at this time don't mess with the air setting that will be later, full trigger the gun and close it. This should be a quick movement. Now inspect your spay pattern. This spray pattern shows everything. runs, dry spray, everything if you know what to look for. The major cause of orange peel is to much material incorrect reducer/thinner, and air pressure.
Never get in a hurry, and never try to have complete hiding with one coat. Way to much material. We usually have complete hiding by 4 to 5 coat. Nice light coats is all you need. Now there is a difference between light and dry. The paint shouldn't feel or look like sandpaper If it does then drop your air pressure by 5psi and shoot again. If you experience runs, increase the air pressure by 5 psi. If it still runs then close the fluid needle in 1/16 of a turn increments. Most of the time you don't want to go under or over the factory specs more than 5 to 7psi.
Now with the reducer and thinner, follow the P sheet for the material that your using. Don't become a chemist, that is what you paid them for. Now once again there is an exception to every rule, Use the lowest possible temp range that you can get away with without causing runs. So if your shooting during the winter try a normal reducer instead of a fast reducer, but mix the stuff according to the P Sheet. And one more thing, don't expect to get a great performance from cheap materials.
Hope this helps out
Vintage Colours
I use a finishline III gun and when I first got it I had a problem with orange peel. I've found that it likes more pressure. I usually do 23-25 inlet psi and it'll lay down smooth. It may be rated for hvlp at 23 psi, but I'm not convinced that's it's ideal pressure in the real world. Bump it up just a bit and see what happens. My 0.02.
|Appreciate the advise. I am going to set up a few test panels and spray them at higher pressure settings and see which one turns our the best. I am beginning to think that the spec. sheets are printed more for OSHA compliance than for user friendliness.
|A test cap with a gauge is the official way to set the gun but, in the real world, you adjust it until it works best. Most people think a little higher pressure gives you a better job.
|Finishline is made by devilbiss. I got my original settings from the manual and it says the inlet pressure should be 23 psi and have an air flow of 13 scfm which will give you a cap pressure of 10 psi. I just bought a new ingersol 60 gal. 2 stage compressor so I know that air flow is not the problem, it is just me learning how to properly set it. The pressure did seem low to me, but this is my first time using a hvlp gun. I will sure try raising the pressure to get rid of the orange peel. I got most of it blocked off yesterday and I do not feel like doing that again. Do any of you measure the pressure at the aircap?
|I'm almost certain you air pressure is too low. The lowest I've seen for an HVLP gun is 23, more common is about 30 and a few guns require as much as 40 at the gun. I'd suggest 30 psi at the gun for a starting point.
|I dont know the finishline gun but Id be willing to bet that the pressure at the gun should be set somewhere around 40
When using a sealer, you should sand most of the primer off as it is just a filler and leveler. You don't want to much thickness under the paint. Try backing off to 8-10 inches.
|Live To Paint
|Increase the air pressure by 5-10 psi and turn your fluid down. This will cause better atomization. Resulting in less orange peel. Primer should be sanding complete smooth before sealer and further painting is applied.
same problem
i have had the same problem on this little art panel im making after messing around a bit adding a small bit of extra thinner to your catalyst and your primer helps alot! heres my orange peel
primer orange peel help
I am spraying 2k primer with a finishline hvlp gun with a 1.8 tip. I set the regulator at the compressor at 45 psi and the regulator at the gun at 20 psi with the trigger pulled. Trying to hold the gun at 6". I seem to be getting a lot of orange peel. When I block the primer so that all traces of peel are gone, it seems like I am sanding most of the primer off. Can anyone offer me any tips to get rid of it? Will a sealer hide some of the orange peel?

What is the source of your information for the no preheating method, I would like to look into it more.cundald
I would also like to get your source for this information. I have been doing carpentry work for over 30 yrs. and I have treated all sorts of wood with different types of preservatives. I have used bees wax but I don't believe that beeswax can liquefy to a "fine" liquid long enough to enter the "fine" pores of most type of wood. Could you divulge your source? I'm sure that if your source is legit I still won't be able to dip my white oak office desk into a wax container but I might be able to treat the wood before it goes onto my saw table.

Replacing fire place with a WoodStove
This is going to be long so if you want skip below to the cliffs.
I have a newer Modular home (3 years old) and am thinking of taking out the fire place and installing a wood stove.
Since it will come up a Modular home is not a double wide, or a manufacture home. It is much stronger and most of the time is stronger then a stick built home due to the codes involved.
Back to the topic
It has a corner fire place pre installed. Its a nice insert with a fan that blows around it but is still open like a traditional fire place. It has a nice little real rock step in front of it and a fake rock wall that goes around it. Even has a nice mantel.
With that said I want to rip all this out and install a wood stove for better heating and to be safer.
I also want to open up the room a little and be able to store a little wood inside. I will also install a cool looking fence to keep my kid from burning himself until he is older.
What I think I should do.
Take off the mantel
Take off the fake rock wall
Take out the real stock
Take out the fire place and leave the tubing
Then I can do all the work to make it look good
Set the woodstove in place
Hook it up to the old tubing.
Im assuming there isn't much behind the fake wall.
With that said is there anything special I need to watch out for? Will this even work?
Wants to replace modular fireplace with woodstove
Needs to know if this is possible
Needs to know how

I am in the process of a similar setup but I am putting a direct vent fireplace in.
1 - the venting may be different. My old fireplace had larger vent tubing with three inside chambers. The new one is smaller with one inside chamber.
2 - the required clearance to combustibles may be different on not only the new stove but also the venting
3 - My direct vent fireplace required a sealant around the vent called Mil-pack and had to be sealed where it met the fireplace and where it exited the house.

Im pretty sure my fireplace now has a vent tube that runs into the basement. Im about positive the stove I want does not.
It looks pretty old school.

By your screen name I will post this with the assumption your are a Fire Fighter. I have been on many, many structure fires. Modular, Stick, Trailer ect. It would be a cold cold day before I had a live fire unit in a modular. If anything get's into the very small voids spaces that fuckers will run like crazy. It's very hard to stop.
To be fair, I am a bit paranoid. When I looked for a house one of my requirements were that it did not have an attached garage. When I build a garage, it will not be attached.
In bed, according to prophesy.

Check insurance
Check building codes.
If you have a fireplace/ stove store, talk to the installers.
I think you might have to have thicker dry wall and or cement board.
I'm not slamming your home , I wish that they were not able to make claims that modulars are as good or better than stick built.
I've seen too much fail.

All of the prefab fireplaces I've installed used a vent that was designed just for them, there will be no way to connect a vent from a free standing woodstove to it that will be safe and meet code.
Replacing the entire vent is probably going to be required.
If you can find a name on the pipe(or fireplace) and they offer a ceiling support kit that is designed to connect to a single wall pipe then you might be able to reuse your vent.

Have you checked into an insert?
I think it would be easier to install instead of ripping EVERYTHING out. It would probably look a heck of a lot better once done too.
Do some probing at hearth dot com. I'm sure you'll be able to find some pics of insert installs over there.
Edit. By "insert" I was referring to the newer EPA certified units.

Senators John McCain and Barack Obama were asked during Tuesday's debate if they regarded Russia as an "evil empire" and both responded with the Bush line that Russia's behavior was terrible in Georgia. Both either were unwilling or unable to provide a nuanced response that recognized how Georgia was partially responsible for events leading to a Russian invasion of Georgia. Yesterday, in accord with assurances given by Russia to President Sarkozy, the last of its troops moved out of Georgia and headed back to South Ossetia. They bulldozed any checkpoints and even swept for mines to ensure no Georgian people would be injured after their departure.
Mari Khokhashvili watched the Russian troops depart and told a reporter, "now I feel safe. I hope that life will improve." She observed dozens of Russian trucks and armored vehicles moving down the road and heading north out of her country. Hansjorg Haber, who headed European Union monitors, said: "We always proceeded from the assumption that the process would be completed by Friday and this is confirmation of the assumption."
Russia is not an "evil empire" and was not completely at fault in events in Georgia. The initial attack was by Georgian troops who miscalculated and thought they could get away with a swift take over of South Ossetia. It failed and their nation paid the consequences of such rash behavior. It was simply another consequence of Bush policies to threaten Russia.

One of the locations which is either very frequently overlooked (or not over looked, but rather just not treated due to the high price of typical anti-aging products for this area) are the lips. Aging lips?? Yup. Your lips are incredibly sensitive to the sun, are frequently not covered with sunscreen and take a huge beating every day. Think about those around you that are aging, chances are you already look at their hands, neck and lip area to asses how "old" they really are.
So, what to do? Is there a product out there that has proven ingredients and doesn't cost $40 for an anti-aging lip product? Actually, very soon you'll be able to get a great anti-aging product for less than $3 at pretty much any corner drugstore.
Blistex's Deep Renewal has a few different ways that it helps fight aging:
• Coenzyme Q10: as an anti-oxidant you aren't likely to see immediate effects, however with time it will help protect your lips from loss of elasticity and firmness. Think of this as prevention for aging, rather than treatment of aging.
• Hyaluronic Spheres: Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient that I feel is in pretty much any product I write about. This ingredient binds to water (if I remember correctly from med school, it can bind to about 10x it's weight in water) and can really hold that moisture to the surface of the skin. It's much too large to actually penetrate into your skin, but all this added moisturization to the skin's surface can definitely help to plump up your skin's surface.
Light Refractors:Obviously, make the lips a bit more shiny but without being glittery, and attempt to make issues in your lips less obvious.
So, now that you know what the product does, is it worthwhile? I really love using it actually. It is smooth and feels very hydrating on my lips, creates a nice level of shine without being overwhelming, and isn't at all sticky. It has a nice sweet taste that I can't really describe in any more detail, but it doesn't gross me out or compel me to lick the product off of my lips.
I've been carrying my tube of this all over the place with me, and I'm planning to pick more up once it is available in early October.

Outstanding job !! Glad to see you got the queen .......Like the hive stand. ........Little John_NC
Great job!!! The combs look a little dark, changing them out for fresher foundation/starter strips Imo, is a good idea. If your numbers aren't that great you could always babysit them in a nuc. Sometimes its too many bees in the vac box that kills bees, too much congestion and lack of ventillation. Also a bunch of honey on the bees in the vac is not good either as they get stuck to things and this streeses them to near or to death. Keep an eye on them, make sure they are well fed, and give them all the tlc you can. Let them do the rest. Good luck and thanks for sharing!!!...JP

The Mountain House product line of freeze-dried meals has been manufacturing backpacking / recreational foods since the late-1960s. Other brands of backpacking foods mix freeze dried and dehydrated ingredients in their entrées. Dehydrated ingredients cost less and do not have the superior flavor that freeze dried ingredients do. Dehydrated foods often require soaking and long cook times, while freeze dried entrées require only the addition of boiling water and a maximum set time of 10 minutes.
