Roof to Sidewall Flashing
I have an existing asphalt shingle roof that meets a sidewall. Unfortunately, the underlayment does not lap up the wall and there is no step flashing. And of course, the siding and sheathing has now rotted. I am in the process of replacing the siding and sheathing on the sidewall, but am wondering the best way to flash this. I can easily add step flashing to the existing roof, but I can't think of an easy way to add underlayment without removing shingles. Any ideas?
Remove the shingles and check the roof deck. Cances are the roof deck is also water damaged. Replace as necessary.

High Idle
Hi, I'm hoping someone has had this problem and knows of a possible solution. My 2006 Focus ZX5 idles high when I press in the clutch pedal. When I'm driving along it's fine, but when I press in the clutch it continues to run at the same rpms. If I come to a stop it will idle high and after about 3-4 seconds the idle will come down to normal. I've tried cleaning the Throttle Body and the IAC valve, but not luck. I've also tried disconnecting the battery for an hour to see if that resets anything. Nothing is working and it seems to be killing my mpg...
Help please!!
i have same problem. Don't know what causes it though:(
The throttle cable may be dislodged out of the metal bracket at the throttle body. Mine does it sometimes and its easily put back in place.
I had this problem after I changed my timing belt, what solved it was I gave up on trying to find a vacuum leak, and just drove the car to work, 45 miles. Voila, high idle was gone.
Search for vacuum leaks, and use a scanner to check your TPS sensor. But first give it a good long drive on the highway, I think the computer has to adjust some stuff to run correctly.
High Idle as well
I would be looking for some answers myself. I have a '06 ZX3 with a Duratec 5 speed with 105,000 miles. I am also new to Focus Fanatics.
My high idle started after I cleaned my throttle body (it was fairly gummed up and sticky when first depressing the gas peddle). I used a throttle body/carburetor cleaner, it is nice and clean and doesn't stick anymore. This was the start of my idle issue. My RPMs would be high and not come down to 750 and would hang high between shifts (manual trans). I changed the AIC (thinking I screwed it up with the cleaner) and this helped a little, my RPMs come down to 750 now but it takes forever to do so. Now at start up it will run at 2000 RPM for a while and come down veeeeeery slowly and between shifts the RPMs will still hang a bit but not as bad as before the AIC change. When I come to a stop I will depress the clutch at about 1000 RPM and they will jump to about 1800 and then come back down slowly. I am very confused !!!
I have also, within the same time period, had an exhaust shop remove the resonator and I installed a Steeda CAI.
I don't think it is a vacuum leak, too coincidental this started after the TB cleaning and I don't hear anything . . . but I haven't really checked. I have disconnected the battery for about an hour to reset. I have been driving the car to work but it is only about 10 miles to and from. I don't know if that is enough driving to reset the computer. It does not stall and runs really strong . . . just that darn high idle that takes forever to come down.
Have you found the problem with yours . . . or anyone out there have any thoughts.
I have the exact same issue as wintrjr, except mine is a 2005 ST. I put a K&N CAI on Saturday, and have driven 60 miles with the same idle problem. Disconnected the battery for 3 hours yesterday, with no improvement.
I'm going to disconnect the battery for 24 hours. Any advice would be great.
wintrjr - my idle problem also started up after cleaning the throttle body. I also changed out the throttle cable when I noticed it was a little frayed. I usually drive about 15 miles per day, but maybe I'll have to take a longer drive like defektes suggested.
Has to be something with the cleaning of the TB. But why and will the idle ever return to normal??? [???:)]
P0507 - iac
I finally just popped a code on the way to work - P0507 Idle Air Control. I haven't had a chance to figure out what that means, but ive driven 100 miles now with no improvement.
Sounds like the Idle Air Control valve is sticking or possibly needs replaced . I would try cleaning it first and if that doesn't work check into replacing it .
Also be sure to disconnect your negative battery cable for at least 15 minutes so the ECU can relearn the new parameters .
My rule of thumb is that anytime I do something to my Focus I disconnected the cable while I'm working on it and then pop it back on when finished.

Liner Notes
Texas guitar-slinger Long John Hunter plays party blues, bred in one of the most party-intense atmospheres a musician could ask for. For ten years between 1957 and 1970, Hunter rocked from sundown to sun-up at the Lobby Bar in Juarez, Mexico, just across the border from El Paso. In a town where the curfew was determined solely by how long one was able to stay on one's feet, Hunter's job consisted of doing whatever it took to keep things at a fever pitch for a well-juiced audience of Mexicans, New Mexico and west Texas ranchers and cowboys, Fort Bliss soldiers, tourists, and teens and college students crossing the Rio Grande in search of sex, drugs, and other contraband from switchblades to firecrackers (plus, of course, the oft-rumored, never-actually-witnessed donkey show). To this day, Long John can work a crowd like few other musicians -- and in the '90s, for the first time ever, he's started being seen and heard by more than a lucky few in the Lone Star State. Now, finally, he's just as well represented on record -- amazingly,
Border Town Legend
is his first widely-distributed album ever.
Born in 1931 in Louisiana, raised in a sharecropping family in Arkansas, John had no interest in music until he caught a ripsnorting 1954 B.B. King show in Beaumont, Texas (where Hunter was then working in a box factory). The next day, he bought a guitar; that weekend, his trio, the Hollywood Bearcats, played a local beer joint. What they lacked in ability and seasoning, they made up for in energy and showmanship; before long, their
Crazy Girl
She Used To Be My Baby
, pressed on a labelless single, was getting local airplay. Don Robey picked it up for Duke Records and John moved to Houston -- but to this day, the guitarist believes Robey signed him only to stifle the competition Long John posed to other Duke-Peacock acts. Hunter worked regularly in the Houston clubs with people like Albert Collins and Philip Walker, but he never cut another record for Robey.
Then, in l957, a friend told him about the wild west town of El Paso. Long John and the Bearcats were heading there in no time. Their first night in town, they crossed the river into Juarez and wowed an informal cutting contest at the Lobby. John's group promptly became the new house band. He was given a weekly pay-check like he'd never seen before, as well as an apartment, a car and driver, clothes, and a pair of bodyguards.
In his shows, he'd literally swing from the rafters, or take advantage of his long cord to stroll the sidewalks outside the club. As his original musicians peeled off, his band came to include such characters as a narcoleptic guitarist who dazzled for the first two songs before falling asleep while standing onstage, a vocalist who had someone beat him up in the alley behind the club every night so he'd sing better, and another singer who didn't speak a word of English but memorized the lyrics to hundreds of songs ("and he was a good singer, too," Long John says admiringly).
When he began there, "I had it in my mind that if the music didn't sound like B.B. King, it wasn't music," John says. Real blues was a real novelty in west Texas, where country, rock and Mexican music ruled. In addition to B.B., he played some Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and more. But John quickly concluded he needed more to keep the party going, and soon he was mixing in the songs of Little Richard, Chuck Berry and other rockers. The slow blues and the sad blues were few and far between. From 1961 to 1963, Hunter recorded a series of jumping, uptempo Texas blues singles on the Yucca label out of Alamogordo, New Mexico, that were gathered on
Texas Border Town Blues
(on the Dutch label Double Trouble) in '86.
He made such a lasting impression that no matter where he plays in Texas today, somebody is bound to come up to him afterwards to talk about the night he got drunk for the first time while watching Long John at the Lobby. Invariably, the next question is, "Where have you been since then?" The answer, people are surprised to learn, is that Hunter never stopped working. After leaving the Lobby, he played for five years at the King's X in El Paso, then hit the Texas/New Mexico small-town club circuit. As the only bluesman working towns like Roswell, Hobbs, Lamesa, Big Spring and Sweetwater, he had few outside influences while extending his guitar style until it sounded like nobody except Long John Hunter. He might spin out one line with a fat, muscular tone, then come right back with a flurry of notes each as trim and sharp as a pinpoint. Hunter plays economically, displaying a unique sense of timing, and using silence as a dramatic device. ("I'm not a fancy guitar player," he remarks, "but I do pretty good at what I do. I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I always get my point across.") His vocals match his guitar, shifting effortlessly from pinched and nasal to robust and full-throated, with a delivery invariably marked by a knowing sense of humor.
In 1985, he cut his first album,
Smooth Magic
, financed by a mobile-homes mogul in El Paso. He didn't record again until 1993, when
Ride With Me
was released on a Texas indie that folded almost immediately. But that one got him out on the festival circuit, both in the United States and abroad, and
Border Town Legend
should go a long way further towards transforming him from a west Texas myth into a contemporary blues pace-setter. He is aided by Art Lewis, his longtime El Paso saxman, and an all-star lineup of mostly Austin musicians. It is unmistakably Texas blues, but played with a raucous rock and a rollicking roll that won't quit. "It's pretty much what I've always done," declares Long John Hunter, "and I think it'll keep working until it's time to sit down." Hopefully, that time is still a long way off.

So the pre order form for the new kids album is up online.
Pre order your copy of the second Hillsong Church Live Kids Praise and Worship Album! This dynamic Kids album will be recorded at our annual Hillsong Conference during Kidsong World 2005!
# Australian Release Date: October 2005
(Subject to change)
Its going to be GREAT!! no bias here of course. 🙂


text: Good suggestions except for the vinegar, and beer mask. These two are temporary fixes, which can eventually lead to hair discoloration/change over a longer period of use. The honey mask is interesting, and I have never tried it on my hair. It sounds difficult to wash out. I use it on my face and it can be difficult to rinse. Mayonnaise and egg whites will work wonders (add olive oil or coconut).

Koch brothers' billions reach West Virginia
By Paul J. Nyden
CHARLESTON, W.Va.-- Brothers Charles and David Koch have spent tens of millions of dollars financing right-wing political organizations including Tea Party groups...
In West Virginia, the brothers help fund a conservative Morgantown think tank and several positions at the West Virginia University economics department through the Charles G. Koch Foundation.
Economics professor Russell Sobel recently told the West Virginia Public News Service that his department would lose two faculty members and two graduate fellowships without money from the Kochs.
Sobel also works closely with the Public Policy Foundation of West Virginia, the Morgantown think tank which published his book, "Unleashing Capitalism: Why Prosperity Stops at the West Virginia Border and How to Fix It," in 2007.
The Sobel book is a collection of 12 essays, arguing that government regulations hurt West Virginia's economy.
One essay questions the value of "mandated" mine safety laws, stating government regulations may increase accident rates.
The foundation also published "An Economic Examination of West Virginia's Prevailing Wage Law," a research report by Andrea M. Dean, a Charles G. Koch Doctoral Fellow at WVU's Economics Department, in 2009.
West Virginia's "prevailing wage law" requires that contractors doing public construction work receive wages similar to contractors in the private sector, especially to prevent government agencies from hiring cheap out-of-state labor end snip.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_miners '_strike_(19841985)
The coal industry was finally privatised in December 1994 to create a firm named "R.J.B. Mining", now known as UK Coal. Between the end of the strike and privatisation, pit closures continued with a particularly intense group of closures in the early 1990s.
In 1983, Britain had 174 working mines; by 2009, this number had decreased to six.[46]
During the strike, Scargill had constantly claimed that the government had a long-term plan to reduce the industry in this way. The miners' will to resist deteriorated rapidly and there was a very apathetic response to the intensive period of closures in the early 1990s, despite evidence that there was much more sympathy for the miners then than in 1984.
Nottinghamshire miners had hoped that their pits were safe, but they too were mostly closed in the 1985-1994 period. This was widely resented as a betrayal of the promises that had been made to working miners in the strike; they had been told that their jobs were safe and their industry had a future.
The subsequent behaviour of the Conservative government was seen by most on the left, and in the "heavy" industries, to confirm fears about how they had been used to divide the miners' union...
IF we'd get a couple of very rare and destructive weather events could the public push for less coal? Miners might want to save some money, think about learning other trades and be prepared to move where the work is?
Almost Heaven politicians need to try harder for more industry and jobs not related to coal. Just off the top of my head - could we pay for starting more industry by taxing Large timber and mineral holders. They would be captives - who cares IF they sold off and left the state - whoever they sold it to would owe the taxes.

March 2006
An edited and reworked version of this paper was published in the London Review
Books Vol. 28, No. 6 (March 23, 2006), and is available online at www.lrb.co.uk
The U.S. national interest should be the primary object of American foreign
policy. For the past several decades, however, and especially since the Six Day War in 1967, the centerpiece of U.S. Middle East policy has been its relationship
with Israel. The combination of unwavering U.S. support for Israel and the
related effort to spread democracy throughout the region has inflamed Arab and
Islamic opinion and jeopardized U.S. security.
This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the United
States been willing to set aside its own security in order to advance the intere
sts of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries is
based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives. As we
show below, however, neither of those explanations can account for the
remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States
provides to Israel.
Instead, the overall thrust of U.S. policy in the region is due almost entirely
to U.S. domestic politics, and especially to the activities of the Israel Lobby.
Other special interest groups have managed to skew U.S. foreign policy in directions
they favored, but no lobby has managed to divert U.S. foreign policy as far from
what the American national interest would otherwise suggest, while
simultaneously convincing Americans that U.S. and Israeli interests are
essentially identical.1
In the pages that follow, we describe how the Lobby has accomplished this feat,
and how its activities have shaped Americas actions in this critical region.
Given the strategic importance of the Middle East and its potential impact on
others, both Americans and non‐Americans need to understand and address the
Lobbys influence on U.S. policy.
Some readers will find this analysis disturbing, but the facts recounted here are not in serious dispute among scholars. Indeed, our account relies heavily on the
work of Israeli scholars and journalists, who deserve great credit for shedding
light on these issues.
Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of
support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the
largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976
and the largest total recipient since World War II. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel
amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars.2 Israel receives about $3 billion
in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one‐fifth of Americas
foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a
direct subsidy worth about $500 per year.
3 This largesse is especially striking
when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita
income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.4 ....
This extraordinary generosity might be understandable if Israel were a vital
strategic asset or if there were a compelling moral case for sustained U.S.
backing. But neither rationale is convincing.

I think I will leave our security to our military leaders who know Israels strategic importance to our country. We have many "armchair generals" who think they know what is best, yet they have no inside knowledge and usually no military experience. That so called "study" is anti-Semite "wanna be general" nonsense.
#10995 Jan 31, 2013
how do you like Manchin now that he's crawled up next to Obama and become his best buddy? All gun owners and coal miners are screwed now.
#10996 Jan 31, 2013
These authors are a little too cerebral for many of the folks here. The fact tht they couldn't get the article published in the U.S. should tell us something.
And for information, the article was later expanded into a book, also available in audio format.
#10997 Jan 31, 2013
Yes it is lucky for us the politicians make policy and not the Generals you WANT to leave policy up to. And soon after this study the policy HAS changed. I LOVE proof. Quote me some "anti-semite" paragraph or even sentence from that study? Just a little quote to see you have a clue?
#10998 Jan 31, 2013
There IS a "compelling moral case for sustained US backing" of Israel.

Peaceful, helpful and pleasant staff, very clean!
I especially want to thank Julie at the front desk, she was always great! The breakfast was good, the location was quiet and secure. The atmosphere was perfect!
Right by the beach. Food was OK. Monkeys on the property. Wasn't the most accessible. Not a lot to do during the day. Pool closes early.
Location is good for business one or two nights stay The facility is poorly maintained. It needs a total makeover even if that means charging more. Even the worst highway motel is still better maintained than New Palm Tree.

Clinton police say a 36-year-old man huffing fumes from a can of compressed air got so stoned he crashed into a residential garage. Now, he's sobering up behind bars.
The accident occurred when the man careened off the road Thursday morning, hit a mail box, toppled a light pole, took out two fences and crashed into a parked RV before plowing into a garage near 100 West and 800 North.
The suspect allegedly acknowledged to police that he had been inhaling fumes from the air duster, a product that often contains a toxic propellant that is both intoxicating and potentially lethal.
No one inside the home was injured.
The suspect did not sustain any serious injuries and was booked into Davis County Jail, where he remained Friday on $2,296 bail. He was being held on suspicion of reckless driving, psychotoxic abuse, driving on a revoked or suspended driver's license and failure to install an ignition interlock device.

It was a phenomenal feeling; turning on the power, seeing Cav come past tucked in safely on Eddie's wheel, then pedalling up the avenue next to Mick and Richie. I knew Cav could win; I knew I had done the job.
The quote above is from the moment that Bradley Wiggins finished his turn in leading out Mark Cavendish on the final stage of the Tour de France in 2012. It was an unprecedented lead out, as Wiggins was wearing the yellow jersey and was just about to become the first Brit to ever win it. Normally the yellow jersey holder wouldn't take such a risk, but in this instance the team were behind him and they wanted to repay Cavendish's efforts from the past three weeks with a stage win at the grandest finish in cycle racing, the Champs Elysees. They certainly did it in style, and I remember leaping up and down with excitement in front of the TV at the time. This book brought those emotions back in full.
Wiggins' book is full of such pieces. He paints a picture with his words clearly showing the emotion and drama in a particular moment, whether it was in the Tour, the Olympic road race, or simply from a training ride. Wiggins has clearly made the most of this book to emphasize the way that many situations occurred from his own perspective, and they are often very different from the way the media were reporting them at the time. He shares his motivations, his emotions and in many situations it gives him the chance to effectively get the last word in. His view is a most welcome one. Do you want to know the truth about where his anger came from when he was accused of doping throughout the tour? Did you want to know what really happened during the Olympic Road Race? Did you want to know what Wiggins wants to achieve next, in his own words?
Wiggins is a fascinating character, with a tremendous love of cycling history and a distinctly working class background which adds an unexpected depth to his memoires recorded in this book. His words demonstrate the unspoken code of honour that runs throughout cycle racing at the highest level, and reveal just how much cycling team mates rely on each other. It also shows how much a small amount of confusion can start to undermine a team. Chris Frome in the 2012 Tour anyone?
The book comes across as plain spoken and honest, and I for one really enjoyed it. At first I put it off because I am already aware of a lot of Wiggins' history and I didn't want to read the same old things over again. I needn't have worried as the book firmly focuses on his recent Tour history through to the Olympic Time Trial win in 2012, and it only delves further into the past when it is required to explain a particular aspect of his character or to flesh out a point.
If you are a fan of cycling, the Tour, or just his sideburns then Bradley Wiggins' My Time is well worth a read. No prior cycling knowledge is required!

What is a sole proprietorship? Describe the advantages and disadvantages of running a sole proprietorship.
A sole proprietorship is a form of ownership that involves one individual.
-It is the easiest kind of business to start (or close).
-Being your own boss: Working for yourself is exciting.
-Retention of company profits: You don't have to share profits with anyone.
-No special taxes: Profits of the business are taxed as the personal income of the owner.
-The initial cost may be too large.
-Funds available are limited to the funds that the sole owner can gather.
-Management difficutlies: Many owners are not skilled at management or with details such as accounting.
-Unlimited liability: The responsibility of business owners for all of the debts of the business is the major disadvantage.
-Overwhelming time commitment: The owner has no one with whom to share the burden.
-Limited life span and growth potential: If the sole proprietor dies or leaves, the business ends.
(pages 144-146)
Define the four types of partnerships available. Discuss the benefits and/or drawbacks of partnerships.
*A general partnership is a partnership in which all owners share in operating the business and in assuming liability for the business' debts.
*A limited partnership is a partnership with one or more general partners and one or more limited partners.
*Master limited partnership (MLP) is structured much like a corporation in that it acts like a corporation and is traded on the stock exhcanges like a corporation, but taxed like a partnership and thus avoids the corporate income tax.
*A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a partnership that limits partners' risk of losing their personal assets to only their own acts and omissions and the acts and omissions of the people under their supervision.
*More financial resources
*Pooled/complimentary knowledge
*Unlimited liability
*Each general partner is liable for the debts of the firm
*You are also liable for your partners' mistakes
*Conflicts among partners
*Difficult to terminate (pages 1446-148)
Identify and describe the three types of corporations.
-A form of business ownership that provides limited liability. A conventional (C) corporation is a state-chartered legal entity with authority to act and have liability separate from its owners. The corporation's owners (stockholders) are not liable for the debts of the corporation beyond their investment. The corporate form of ownership also allows many people to share in the ownership of a business without working there.
S Corporations
-A type of legal entity in which the biggest advantage is that it is taxed like a sole proprietorship. S corporations must have no more than 100 shareholders, have shareholders who are individuals or estates and are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S., have only one class of outstanding stock, and not have more than 25% of income derived from passive sources (rents, royalties, interest, etc)
Limited Liability Companies (LLC)
-A company similar to an S corporation but without the special eligibility requirements. Advantages of LLCs include limited liability, personal assets are protected; in addition, LLCs can choose to be taxed as partnerships or as corporations. (pages 148-150)
What are two alternative types of ownership? List some advantages of these other conventional business types.
Other types of business ownership include franchises and cooperatives. Franchising is an alternative to starting a business from scratch.
*Advantages of franchises include the following:
-Greater chance of succeeding
-Marketing and management assistance
-The franchisor (the person who owns the rights to the franchise) also provides intesive training.
-Many franchises also offer financial assistance, such as loans, to franchisees.
-Lower failure rates
-Large start-up costs;
-The franchisor often demands a large share of the profits, or royalties, based on sales, not profit;
-Franchsiros have very thight restrictions on all aspects of the operation;
-The actions of other franchisees have a coattail effect, an impact on the franchise's future growth and profitability.
Openeing a cooperativie is another possibility. A cooperative is a business owned and controlled by the people who use it-producers, consumers, or workers with similar needs who pool their resources for mutual gain. Cooperatives do not pay the same kind of taxes that corporations do, givig them an advantage. (pages 151-154, 156-157)
Compare and contrast merger and acquisition and defin buyout. Describe the methods of corporate expansion, inclduing mergers and buyouts.
is the result of two firms forming one company. An acquisition is one company's purchase of the property and obligations of another company. There are three major types of mergers:
*Vertical merger-The joining of two companies involved in different stages of related businesses.
*Horizontal merger-Joins ttwo firms in the same industry and allows them to diversify or expand their products.
*Conglomerate merger-Unites firms in completely unrelated industries.
is when employees or managers attempt to take over ownership of the company for which they work. There are two basic types of buyouts:
*A leveraged buyout (LBO)-An attempt by employees, management, or a group of investors to purchase an organization primarily through borrowing. The term "leveraged" means that the funds for the purchase are borrowed.
*Another term for this is management buyout-When employees of the company get together to purchase the business. This might be leveraged or accomplished through available cash. (pages 157-159)
What are five primary characteristics of entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurs share five common characteristics:
*Self-directed and self-disciplined
*Self-nurturing, believing in your own ideas
*Action-oriented, having a desire to build the dream into reality
*Highly energetic, willing to work long hours to succeeed
*Tolerant of uncertainty, the ability to take calculated risks (pages 139-140)
What are the four primary reasons that people choose to take the risk of becoming an entrepreneur?
*Opportunity to share in teh American dream.
*Profit: The riches person in the U.S. is Bill Gates, the entrepreneur who founded Microsoft.
*Independence: Many entrepreneurs don't enjoy working for someone else and have found more self-satisfaction in starting their own businesses.
*Challenges: Some believe that entrepreneurs are excitment junkies who flourish on taking risks; others believe that entrepreneurs take moderate, calculated risks. In general, entrepreneurs seek achievement more than power. (pages 141-142)
Discuss the business plan; what is it? How can it help a prospective small business owner, and what are the most important consierations when developing one?
A business plan is a detailed written statemnt that describes the nature of the business, the target market, the advantages the business will have in relation to competition, and the resources and qualifications of the owner(s). A business plan is helpful because it forces potential small-business owners to be specific about the products and services they intend to offer, and it is necessary when talking with bankers or other investors. There are three important considerations:
*A business plan takes a long time to write; entrepreneurs should make sure that they devote enough time to crafting it.
*One of the most important parts of the business plan is the executive summary, which must catch the reader's interest.
*Additionally, getting the completed business plan in the right hands is almost as important as getting the right information in it.
(pages 160-161)
What are the five most common reasons for failure of small businesses, and what can you as an entrepreneur do to avoid them, according to your text and the oline lesson presentation?
Five Reasons why Small Businesses Fail:
*Lack of planning-This may include growing too big too fast, underpricing or overpricing, underestimating how long it will take to build the market, or a failure to plan for unforseen setbacks and expenses.
*Unrealistic financial expectations-Not having enough capital or a plan for paying back borrowed money, being careless with spending money, or extending or expanding credit unwisely.
*Lack of marketing-Not learning enough about the industry or market.
*Wrong business partner or employees.
*Lack of business knowledge-Failing to keep accurate and complete records, misunderstanding business cycles, or treating the business like a hobby.
Small-Business Pointers for Success:
*Learning from other entrepreneurs' successes and mistakes.
*Gaining experience by working in a traditional business, even as an intern or apprentice.
*Taking over an existing successful company, or seeking profit-sharing or ownership in one that you work for.
(page 160)
Describe the types of financial resources available to entrepreneurs, as discussed in the text.
*Venture capitalist, a compnay that has money to invest in small and large businesses and in return for its investment will generally take a stake in the business.
*Angel investors, individuals, usually wealthy, who invest their own money in a business for share of the company.
*The Small Business Administration (SBA)-A U.S. government agency that advises and assists small businesses by providing management training and financial advice and loans. The SBA's microloan program awards loans based on the borrower's integrity and the soundness of his or her business idea.
*Other government agencies:
-The Farmers Home Administration

Government IT procurement programme delayed

The £6bn IT Hardware and Software framework agreement is designed to pull together the buying strength of central government departments and their agencies, NHS bodies and local authorities to get bigger discounts.
However, the revised agreement, due to begin on 1 March, has run into difficulties after suppliers who failed to make it past the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) stage appealed against the decision.
Suppliers have complained about the addition of one question, "A4 Growth of Business", which was supposed to indicate the financial strength of suppliers.
Buying Solutions has since written to bidders, stating it has removed this question.
"We agree this question does not reflect the market strength of an individual company, nor does it accurately reflect M&A activity, profitability, market penetration or the macro economic climate,"
Under the timetable, suppliers were supposed to receive an invitation to tender (ITT) on 1 October. However, more than six weeks later, Buying Solutions is re-scoring suppliers, detracting the 30 points attached to the A4 question.
"Buying Solutions has not even issued the ITT and after that we have 40 days from which to respond, I can't see this being done on time, we think its farcical," one supplier claimed.
Another reckoned that some which were previously de-selected will be re-introduced. "The situation is ridiculous. Usually the appeals process happens following the ITT but not at the PQQ stage," the supplier said.
Sources close to the situation said delays could become more protracted as any suppliers that get cut following this second evaluation could in turn try to appeal against the ruling, given the size of the business on offer.
Buying Solutions insisted it would be able to make the marketing launch date it previously set for suppliers.
"The appeals have caused some delay to the procurement process but at this point we are not expecting this to hold up the commencement date of the framework agreement," it said.

Garage Floor Coating
Another question
anyone with experience on a "do it yourself" garage floor coating project.
The local Lowes carries Rust-Oleum and Quickrete epoxy floor coatings
The Rust-O brand has two color choices,, the Quik has 30,, anyone have experience with these products or doing this in general?
The prices to have this done professionally is not in the budget, 3.00 a square, but It looks like I could do a 2 car garage myself for around 150,, which fits my wallet.
We had are shop at work done. looked great... 1 year and 3 broken ankles and 2 knee problems later , the owner had it chipped out. Any liquids on it and its like ice. I know they ground the floor down before applying to gain adheshion. just my 2 cents
One to think about ... ever notice on TV when they show the floor in all it's glory and then they add those little sprinkles or flakes onto the surface ..... try to imagine looking for small nuts, screws or washers with that added camouflage on the floor ..
I just picked up one of these Quickrete floor coating kits to test.
The kit includes a pack of very tiny plastic beads to add to the epoxy,
which is supposed to give the coating an anti-slip quality....
It's also soap and water clean up, and low odor.
If You Do Any Welding Or Torch Work, You Will Find The Coating Will Actually Melt And Potentially Catch Fire. Also The Anti-slip Pellets Make It Troublesome To Easily Roll The Floor Jack And Other Hard Wheeled Items. Just Something To Consider.
these are some really good points!
I used to work in a printing plant.....We would stain the concrete floor with ink every year or so....worked well and wasn't slippery......drys quick, but keep it ventilated when it is drying
The pellets for traction make it a PITA to sweep the floor clean.
Interesting thread....I too have a fresh concrete garage/shop floor I want to paint. With the above comments in mind, what is the preferred product that will give me a safe, clean and easily maintainable surface. Thanks in advance.
My Shop Floor Is 60x60 Feet, No Reliefs Cut In It. Quality Cement With Stranded Fibers In It For Strength. 15 Years And Counting With No Chips Or Cracks In It. Floor Gets Abused Beyond Normal. No Paint,(it Will Peel) No Coatings Of Any Kind. Baby Butt Smooth Finish.

Honda is all about showing their fans that they love them back. According to a press release, "Since the inception of the Honda brand Facebook page in August of 2009, fans have shared hundreds of pictures, stories, videos and moments showing their love of Honda," and over the years Honda has returned the favor. When a fan mowed a Honda logo into his lawn, Honda mowed his name in the grass at their HQ. They've painted their toenails to thank fans, gotten (fake) tattoos, funny haircuts and more. Yesterday, Honda celebrated Halloween by carving fan's faces into pumpkins.
The Jack-O-Lantern fan images were uploaded to Facebook in an album called 'We're fans of you too: Halloween Edition'. Honda, with the help of custom pumpkin carving masters Maniac Pumpkin Carvers, created customized pumpkins for all of the fans that created hand-carved Honda Jack-O-Lanterns on Halloween last year. Click on the screenshot below to see the images on Facebook.
I absolutely love this campaign. Not only is Honda showing love for its fans, but they're also inspiring fans to create more great Honda content. How many more people do you think created Honda pumpkins for Halloween this year after they saw that Honda was custom-carving pumpkins for all the fans that did last year? Honda fans are rewarded for creating awesome viral Honda content and, as a result, they produce more and more of it!
Alicia Jones, social media strategist at American Honda Motor Co. says, "We're honored to have one million Honda brand Facebook fans and we wanted to show our appreciation in a meaningful way. How many people do you know who would carve someone else's name into their hair? We're so fortunate to have amazing and dedicated Honda brand fans. And that's the kind of commitment our associates have to our fans. We really do love them back."
What do you think about the Halloween edition of Honda's 'We're fans of you too' campaign? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!

Also first thing he is gonna inspect it, magnaflux it for cracks. I told him I wanted him to square it up and deck the block. I think thats all I told him, cant remember it was over two months ago. Someone told me on my 355 engine build thread that he should of told me to have the pistons I was going to use with the block when I dropped it off. I asked hime that if he bored it over .030 could I just buy .030 pistons and use them he said yes.
The piston to bore clearance will need to be checked to be sure it's OK. He really should have had the pistons before doing the final hone, though. That said, you're prob. gonna be OK, as long as you buy the kind of pistons he honed it for- cast/hyper pistons are fitted closer than forged pistons.
Also I said can I buy stock main bearings and not have to do any measurments. He said when Im done you can buy standard size everything except .030 pistons and install them with no problem.
Unless you are getting a new crank or a polished used crank, you cannot use standard bearings.
He might have meant that you can install the crank w/the right undersize bearings and it will fit. Or it might just be a polished crank. There will be a big difference in the cost of polishing as opposed to turning.
Also guys I had one of the main bearings I took off the crank I been talking about that was not copper colored and its been sittin since last friday and I just checked it out and there was a puddle of oil sitting in the center of the bearing and where the puddle is the bearing turned copper. It was all silver colored before. So does oil cause the coating to wear off and turn copper???
No. If the oil was acidic enough it could dissolve the plating if it's zinc, tin, or something like that. But uncontaminated oil will not touch it.
My turn.
Out of the 4 blocks you traded him, there wasn't one that could be bored 0.030" over that had all the caps?
BTW, you will be awfully lucky to get by w/just a main hone if he's replacing all the caps.

Mexican Chicken
Recipe by MI Mom
Fast easy chicken for weeknights - whole family loves. Easy to adjust for "spicyness", change from Montery Jack w/Jalapeno to regular Montery Jack Cheese and skip the chiles. I Serve with fresh salsa and avacado. I make boxed yellow rice as a side. (Notes: Don't be afraid of the Doritos and works very well with frozen bagged chicken breasts)
Top Review by nightfall20252

At least four people have been killed in a snow storm in the US which dumped two feet of snow, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity.
The behemoth storm packing hurricane-force wind gusts and blizzard conditions swept through north-eastern parts of the US. Three people were killed in Canada and one in New York as a result of the weather.
In southern Ontario, an 80-year-old woman collapsed while shoveling her driveway and two men were killed in car crashes. In New York, a 74-year-old man died after being struck by a car in Poughkeepsie; the driver said she lost control in the snowy conditions, police said.
More than 28 inches (71 centimeters) of snow had fallen on central Connecticut by early Saturday, and areas of southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire notched 2 feet or more of snow - with more falling. Airlines scratched more than 5,300 flights through Saturday, and New York City's three major airports and Boston's Logan Airport closed.
The wind-whipped snowstorm mercifully arrived at the start of a weekend, which meant fewer cars on the road and extra time for sanitation crews to clear the mess before commuters in the New York-to-Boston region of roughly 25 million people have to go back to work.
The U.S. Postal Service closed post offices and suspended mail delivery on Saturday in all of New England.
In Maine, officials said numerous vehicles, including several state police cars, were stuck in deep snow and warned stranded drivers to expect long waits for tow trucks or other assistance.
For a group of stranded European business travelers, the snow meant making the best of downtime in a hotel restaurant Friday night in downtown Boston, where snow blew outside and drifted several inches deep on the sidewalks.
The six Santander bank employees found their flights back to Spain canceled, and they gave up on seeing the city or having dinner out.
"We are not believing it," said Tommaso Memeghini, 29, an Italian who lives in Barcelona. "We were told it may be the biggest snowstorm in the last 20 years."
The National Weather Service says up to 3 feet (about a meter) of snow is expected in Boston, threatening the city's 2003 record of 27.6 inches. (70.1 centimeters). A wind gust of 76 mph (122 kph) was recorded at Logan Airport.
In heavily Catholic Boston, the archdiocese urged parishioners to be prudent about attending Sunday Mass and reminded them that, under church law, the obligation "does not apply when there is grave difficulty in fulfilling this obligation."
Halfway through what had been a mild winter across the Northeast, blizzard warnings were posted from parts of New Jersey to Maine.
Early snowfall was blamed for a 19-car pileup in Cumberland, Maine, that caused minor injuries. In New York, hundreds of cars began getting stuck on the Long Island Expressway on Friday afternoon at the beginning of the snowstorm and dozens of motorists remained disabled early Saturday as police worked to free them.
About 650,000 customers in the Northeast lost power during the height of the snowstorm, most of them in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth lost electricity and shut down Friday night during the storm. Authorities say there's no threat to public safety.

A court in Utah found Warren Jeffs, a self-proclaimed prophet, guilty of two counts of encouraging the young girl to have sex against her will.
The head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) could face life in prison.
The sect split from the Mormon Church after the latter renounced polygamy.
Mr Jeffs has been in custody since August 2006, when he was arrested in Nevada after nearly two years on the run. At the time, he was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
He went into hiding after being charged in Arizona with being an accomplice to incest and sexual misconduct for allegedly arranging marriages between minors and older men.
After deliberating for 16 hours, the jury in St George found Mr Jeffs had orchestrated the marriage of the girl to her 19-year-old cousin and encouraged her to have sex by telling her she would go to hell if she did not.
Earlier, the victim testified that she had cried in despair when she was told to marry Allen Steed in 2001 and encouraged to kiss him.
The victim, now aged 21, said the couple were married for at least a month before they had sex. Afterwards, she swallowed two bottles of pain relieving medicine and curled up on the floor, she said.
"The only thing I wanted to do was die," she told the court.
Mr Steed, who has not been charged with any offence, testified that his wife had initiated their first sexual encounter.
Under Utah law a 14-year-old can consent to sex, but not if they are enticed by someone at least three years older.
Lawyers for Mr Jeffs argued that he could not have known any rape would be committed and that the victim had been too vague when she told the sect leader about her relationship problems.
Church under pressure
Mr Jeffs, who is reputed to have 70 wives, took over the leadership of the FLDS church after his father, Rulon, died in 2002.
The 10,000-strong sect dominates the towns of Colorado City, in Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, less than a mile away. A compound in Eldorado, Texas, is also home to a growing community.
Members believe a man must marry at least three wives in order to ascend to heaven. Women are taught that their path to heaven depends on being subservient to their husband.
Polygamy is illegal in the US, but the authorities have reportedly been reluctant to confront the FLDS for fear of sparking a tragedy similar to the 1993 siege of the Branch Davidian sect in Waco, Texas, which led to the deaths of about 80 members.
However, observers say the church is coming under increasing pressure from authorities in Utah and Arizona.

Revionics, Inc. debuted the latest release of its proven Markdown Optimization solution. This release extends the Revionics® Markdown Optimization solution which provides optimization for long life cycle products with new science, data and business rule sets specifically designed to optimize short lifecycle merchandise such as fashion.
This newly enhanced solution helps retailers optimally localize and prioritize start-date, cadence, depth and DC allocation decisions by taking inventory depletion rates, shopper demand patterns, seasonality, budget and labor constraints into account while driving to strategic objectives for exit dates, profitability, inventory position, sell-through and salvage value.
"Retailers of all stripes must think about the role markdown plays across all kinds of product categories, from short life cycle to long. Shifting consumer demand, continued price sensitivity, and omnichannel pressures has created an environment where unproductive inventory is now a more painful issue than out of stocks," said Paula Rosenblum, managing partner at RSR Research. "Markdown Optimization gives retailers a finer-grained approach to managing their inventory through its life cycle and drives powerful results and improves execution across the enterprise."
Optimizing markdowns provides an opportunity to maximize margin, sell-through, and inventory value while improving velocity of product assortment by making granular decisions based on channel and location specific shopper behavior. This enhanced markdown optimization solution enables retailer of all types to plan and manage localized markdown cadence and discount to achieve Category Management and Merchandise/Assortment Planning objectives.
"This release offers the industry a single, unified markdown optimization solution that benefits all types of retailers – from food to fashion," said Marc Hafner, CEO of Revionics. "Across-the-board markdowns have challenged retailers for decades. Typically retailers have struggled with 'too much too soon' or 'too little too late' due to enterprise-wide, emotional decisions which hemorrhage margins and do not achieve financial objectives. Our solution combats this challenge and fuels fact-based markdown decisions that align with local shopper-demand for optimal profitability and a strong competitive edge."
Single retailer solution: food to fashion
This all-encompassing solution supports both markdown event planning as well as ongoing in-season markdown recommendation processes and automatically adapts next step recommendations weekly or on-demand as new trends emerge. Providing performance forecast, on-demand optimization, self-learning demand models, flexible rule-sets and strategic recommendations, this expanded solution offers the following key benefits:
Select the right items, at the right time, at the right discount, in the right channel/store
Drive to strategic and financial objectives
Improve DC Inventory Allocation decisions
Incorporate vendor deals in planning and analysis
Simulate scenarios on-demand to predict results
Measure ongoing effectiveness and adapt to trends on-the-fly
