Location: Daphne , Alabama
Satisfaction Rating:
"Went Down hill"
2 Trane Units 4 ton heat pump compressor went after only 7 years. Major expensive to replace and they only give you a one year warranty or make you buy a new one to get a 5 year warranty or 10 year warranty at mega cost. Most good reviews are 5 years or less

"poor quality"
bought a trane xl400 with inside air handler. 3 weeks after the warrenty expired the variable speed motor on the outside burned up. Cost over $450 to replace. now motor burns up every 2 years or so. had numerious problems with vibration induced noises. apparently the pipes inside the heat pump are not insulated and rub all over the fram and make lots of noise. I pais premium price for trane components and got garbage. Will never buy another trane again.

heat pump purchased from trane american standard co.a big piece of junk that falls apart constantly. numerious calls made to trane , never a return call. this pump is under parts warranty only cost in thepast month for labor$1218.
Location: Frederick MD
Satisfaction Rating:
"Treat 5 star reviews with caution"
On reading the reviews of Trane on this site I notice one rather peculiar characteristic. A disproportionate number of 5 star reviews are from people who report that their twenty year units have worked perfectly. From the point of view of deciding which brand to buy these reviews are worthless since newer units bear no resemblance to the older less efficient but much more durable units. If you subtract these reviews the ratings for Trane are almost entirely 1 star, except for some ratings by dealers.

"Got Rid of the Trane!"
My sister contacted me and asked for my help with her 5 yr. old Trane heat pump. To date, she has spent $759.00 on repairs over the past three years: mostly freon charges and controls. I contacted her HVAC maintenance contractor and he recommended entirely replacing the unit--only after 5 years. So we did. We installed Bryant's 15 Seer heatpump, and you can't even hear it running. It has a 10 year manufacturer's labor and material warranty. I've had other bad experiences with Trane, and I hope never to have another Trane installed in any house that I own or visit!
Location: Portsmouth, VA
Satisfaction Rating:
"Unsatisfactory Performance"
We had a Trane heat pump installed in late 2009 and have been very dissatisfied. It smells like old socks when the defrost cycle runs and that makes the entire house smell. Now, in November, the unit is only 14 months old, and the blower fan motor has died and we are completely without heat. My installer tells me that there are no blower fans in the area and they have to get one from the 'home office' in Memphis, Tenn. That is a 3-5 day shipping delay. Guess Trane never heard of overnight shipping. Would NEVER purchase another Trane. This is my second Trane in 11 years and both were disappointing

"Trane Heatpump Serious Problems"
I purchased a trane heat pump August 2009 and we have had many problems with it. We kept our propane furnance and added a heat pump however for 3 weeks in Oct 2010 we had no heat. We are seniors and the outside temp was above 40 degrees however no heat. Imagine that. I say it is in the thermostat I think they should change it because when the young men installed it they had problems. Why would a reputable installer like Deer in Fairborn Ohio have a problem getting one. As of now we are now your best or pleased customers. Please reply and give us some answers WE NEED HELP

"installer must be key"
Bought Trane heatpump in Nov. 2003. Originally bought 4 ton but salesman didnt measure ceiling height. So we have a 4ton exterior and 3 ton interior? Numerous problems. Asked to buy Extended warranty, paid $8900, for what. After 1st year and multiple visits from TECH, we were told we didnt have extended warranty?(although its on the purchase agreement) 1st pressures were wrong causing panel to burn which now we are told is what caused the compressor to over heat,unravel and leak. refrigerant leak 3X's due to shrader valves that were stripped upon initial installation. Now contaminants in system, could cause future additional refrigerant leaks. Is it worth $3000+ for new compressor or just buy entire new unit for $5000+ with tax credit and specials? Wont be a TRANE Local Installers are unqualified to admit mistakes which caused initial problems! TRANE Corp, has not been of any help regarding Certified Trained Installer's faults.

Apple's next-gen iPhone chip being prepped
Apple and its manufacturing partner are readying the next-generation processor expected to land in future iPhones and iPads.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, is expected to tape out -- one of the final steps before manufacturing -- Apple's A7 chip this month, according to a report in Digitimes.
That will set the stage for pilot production by TSMC this summer and commercial production by the first quarter of 2014.
The A7 will use TSMC's future 20-nanometer manufacturing process -- which isn't expected to be ready until 2014.

With a view to creating a liberal working environment for the artists, the Maeght Family inaugurates the Maeght Foundation in 1964 to rekindle friendships it has formed with artists and intellectuals in the 1930s, prior to World War II. This endeavor leads to the creation of the first modern and contemporary art foundation to be conceived in France.
Curated by Yoyo Maeght, a third generation representative of the Maeght Family to have spent a significant part of her childhood with the artist, Joan Miró: Prints, Paintings and Sculptures from the Maeght Collection presents the joyous and impassioned colors of the post-war period, as well as the recollections of a long-lasting friendship.
Joan Miró 1893 Joan Miró was born on 20 April 1893 in Barcelona, in the Passatge del Crèdit.
1906-1910 He took classes at La Llotja, the Escola Superior d'Arts Industrials i de Belles Arts.
1910 Miró's family purchased a farm in Montroig-del-camp in the province of Tarragona where his work as a painter would take shape and find its essential inspiration.
1910-1915 His parents gave in to his desire to become a painter, and he enrolled at the Francesc Galí Escola d'Art.
1918 Miró celebrated his first one-man exhibition, at the Dalmau Gallery.
1919 His first self-portrait which was given to Picasso was exhibited in 1920 at the Salon d'Automne in Paris.

The Fallen - Ten Years After
Beyond Politics And Ideology - Remembering People
There is a lot of controversy surrounding many things associated with the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. We debate, discuss and argue over some very important issues, and most of us can pinpoint what we were doing when the towers fell, when a large part of the Pentagon was destroyed and another entire planeload of people perished in Pennsylvania. We form our opinions, deal with our anger and grief, shake our fists at ideologies and examine how these events have affected our politics. With good reason we try to make sense of the lives lost and freedoms eroded in the aftermath.
But there is one thing that we should never forget, and that is the fact that at the core of these attacks were individuals much like you and me who went to work that morning with thoughts, plans, hopes and dreams that will never be realized.
As we reflect on how our lives have all been changed to one degree or another, let us not forget that the group we usually refer to as "victims" have names. Below is a link to a page where I have compiled a list of the names of every single individual that perished in the attacks, separated by location and designation where available. I urge each and every one of you to click the link and spend a few minutes scrolling through the names, understanding the sheer magnitude of the number of lives lost.
The purpose of a monument and memorial should not be the promotion of a political platform, nor should it be the promotion of an ideology or religious belief. It should be for the purpose of honoring those who gave their lives to save their fellow human beings, and to remember the lives of those who died. It's about people, no more, no less.
Here is your link:
Al Stefanelli - Georgia State Director, American Atheists, Inc.
Actually the purpose of a memorial is to not only those who perished, but to let the greiving come to terms with and cope with their losses.
All truely human, persons are quite capable of grief and the feelings of loss. It is a very healthy practice to grieve and to feel a sense of loss.
Some express it in a very constructive way, while others bottle it up, and still others get angry and violent to name a few of the responses we can show as human beings.
If you think that politicians and other human beings should not feel the pain of others when even they themsleves lost loved ones, you might be considered a very calloused individual.
While it appears you are not one of those, it does seem that you appear to be (from what you've shared) at least partially biased against those of us who have a political, idealogical or religious view that is different from your own.
That in itself is tantamount to intolerance and is convincingly a form of discrimination which while it does allow you to voice your own opinion. It apparenlty leaves little room for true discussion, or even the injection of new ideas into the discussion.
All of us share this planet together, yet none of us wants to admit we need to be interdependent on each other, but we are.
Imagine how you'd get to work if there was no gas? Imagine how you would cook a dinner for your family if there were no pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc? Imagine how you would shower if there was no electricity to pump the water? Imagine how you would earn a living if there was no government to set up a currency? Imagine how your rights would be protected if there were no laws or no enforecement of said laws?
Taking this to a small degeee as a point only and not to create an argument on these topics.
Imagine....a life where only athiests ruled the world? There would not be peace because there would be no laws. There would be no currency because there would be no government to mint or print it. there would be nno electricity becasue there would be no incentive to make the devices to create, generate, transport, conduct and utilize the power source. There would be no decent paying jobs because there was no money. There would be no gas becasue oince again there would be no incentive to make cars that need gas....
Just a thought....

CROWN CITY — A focused manhunt in Gallia County has produced key evidence in the case, but the man wanted for questioning in the death of his father is still seemingly on the run. Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning reported Saturday that deputies have recovered the truck a Meigs man reportedly used to flee the scene of a homicide that took place November 11. The unofficial cause of death was blunt force trauma, according to Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle.
The truck, a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4, reportedly belonged to the victim, James W. Gardner, age 67. His son, James E. Gardner, age 40, is considered a "person of interest" in the case and was allegedly seen driving the vehicle on the day of his father's death. At the time, there was also reportedly a red four-wheeler in the back of the truck.
A focused search for Gardner has taken place in the Eureka area over the past few days, and the truck was discovered in that general area. According to Browning, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI&I) agents now have the vehicle in their possession for processing. Eureka is located on the southern end of Gallia County.
Browning also reported that a motorbike that had recently been reported stolen was recovered in the same general area earlier in the week. Law enforcement officials believe Gardner had used the vehicle to elude officers. He warns area residents to be mindful of leaving keys in unlocked vehicles.
BCI&I agents also arrested Lyndon M. Montgomery, Sr., age 51, of Crown City, Ohio, this weekend on charges of Obstructing Official Business in connection with the search for Gardner.
Montgomery had recently been interviewed by a Huntington-area television station and was quoted as having had a 'run-in' with Gardner in the past few days.
Browning said Montgomery was arrested after law enforcement discovered he had been providing transportation and shelter to Gardner. BCI agents will be consulting with Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins regarding possible additional charges against Montgomery.
Browning requests that the public contact law enforcement if they have information relating to James E. Gardner's location. Browning warned that anyone helping or assisting Gardner will be charged.
Gardner is described as a white male with blond hair and green eyes, being six feet tall and approximately 175 pounds.
According to Beegle, there is also a warrant for Gardner from Jackson County, Ohio, for the theft of 150 gallons of diesel fuel.
Findings of the BCI&I investigation will be reported to the Meigs County Prosecutor when complete according to the agency.
The sheriff office tip line is 740-446-6555 if anyone has information concerning this case.

I put the box together yesterday, finished my first wedding cake today.... Here it is in the box.... It could be better. I had to touch up a little piping after I'd already corrected one photo for light, and I'm too tired to correct it right now. Off to bed.
I just did an auto adjust with Windows photo gallery. Here is the result.

Nice job! I'm going for something in between, and have actually had luck with my nikon editor, at least within the actual editing program. I'm really frustrated right now because I'm getting really beautiful images in the nikon program, but when I upload them elsewhere they look very different, the colors sort of darker, muddy-ish. Argh! Anybody have any suggestions as to why that might be?
Posted 28 June 2009 - 09:45 PM
After an extensive search for information, I see that many food photographers use these cool expensive setups costing a few hundred/ thousand dollars! Surely there must be a cheaper way to setup a decent food photography area in my kitchen where I can take awesome pics, eh?
Anyone have experience with this? Any links or tutorials that you prefer? I appreciate the help.
Posted 28 June 2009 - 10:44 PM
a built-in flash is usually going to result in a very flat picture;
you don't have many options for controlling depth of field, so it's harder to blur distracting elements out of the background;
and without flash, you need high light sensitivity (without a lot of noise, which is a problem for the little sensors of the p&s) and powerful ambient lighting or a tripod (but the tripod doesn't have to be fancy).
THe link above that shows the strobist lightbox is a good way to go with a p&s camera, but if you're going to do a lot of this, an investment with equipment that is built to do what you want it to do may save a lot of headache.

There is visual calibration software, which doesn't require any special equipment, and there are calibration devices, which don't require as good an eye, but if you use a calibration device for a while, you'll develop an eye for subtle color casts. I use the Pantone Eye-One Display 2 device.
Norman Koren has a good introduction to monitor calibration--
It's kind of heavy reading in parts, but if you want to sort this out, it's worth the slog.
Another thing to be aware of particularly for images posted to the web is color space, which determines how numeric values for color in your digital image file are mapped to real colors in a browser (and then displayed accurately or inaccurately, depending on the calibration of the monitor). For the web, you'll get the most consistent results by saving your images using the sRGB color space.

I looked it up, and this is a 6 Mpix camera with a zoom lens and a macro mode. For now, this can do a lot of what you need. It's not a professional camera, but it's better than what people were using for print illustration when digital cameras first started to become acceptable for such use. I knew a commercial photographer who had a long career shooting large and medium format film, which are arguably still better than even high end digital setups costing tens of thousands of dollars, but for a lot of print use, he was able to shoot with a 3.3 Mpix Nikon Coolpix 990, which cost $1000 new, and was one of the first digital cameras widely used by photojournalists. Your camera is better than the Coolpix 990.
Let's just look at this one in detail.
First off, are the plate and the tablecloth this shade of magenta? Probably not. The default white balance on your camera is probably auto. Our brain adjusts so that we think we're seeing colors similarly under artificial and natural lighting, but in reality, tungsten incandescent lights are usually very yellow-red; daylight is considered neutral; flash is close to daylight typically; and fluorescents have a non-continuous spectrum, so they may be bluish or yellow-red, but they'll also have a green cast which needs to be corrected by adding magenta.
If you can control your camera's white balance setting, try setting it to match the light that you're actually using--tungsten for most incandescent lights, fluorescent, daylight, shade, etc., and that will put you in the ballpark, but even then, you might need to tweak with whatever editing software you have. Custom white balance is even better, if you have that option--read your camera manual.
Try not to mix light sources of different types, like sunlight from a window and a desk lamp, because it will be difficult to correct for both light sources in post processing. You can gel them to match, but that's a bit more advanced than this discussion here. If you use one main light source and white reflectors, then all the light will be the same color.
Your editing software will have auto correction that is likely to be better than what is in the camera, but even that may not make the image look appealing. I put this through auto correction in Photoshop and found it a bit blue-cyan, and warmed it up by adding some red back.
Composition--what's that black thing on the right side of the frame? It looks like a tongs or something, and it's leading the eye away from the subject. Try to simplify for now. Those elaborate setups you see with tableware, cloths, and flowers in Gourmet magazine are beautiful, but they often take about a day to shoot with many intermediate setups and often quite intricate lighting. It's best to get this right in the camera, but here's a quick crop to show what you might have done without changing the setup. I also adjusted the histogram levels to bring up the highlights and midtones and generally give it a brighter look.
Now beyond this, there are things that would need to be addressed while making the photograph, rather than in post processing.
You've set this up in a two dimensional way--basically a flat image on a plate--which is a reasonable approach with flat objects, and if you want to go with that, think about making geometric shapes that complement each other. I like the yin-yang thing you've got going with the sauce, but notice that you've got a noodle out of control on the right side. Presentation that is perfectly good for fine dining may not be adequate for photography. Think of how many buns they may have to look at to get one perfect one for a Big Mac ad, and how they may have to move around the sesame seeds to make them look balanced. Long tweezers are good for those kinds of details. Be sure to look at it on the camera screen, so you know what the lens sees, since you may not notice it just looking at the plate.
Use a tripod, so that you get sharp results, and so that you can build the composition without having to reposition the camera constantly.
Could you arrange it in a more three dimensional way? How about photographing it at a lower angle and setting the whole terrine on a rectangular plate behind the serving plate, so there would be something with some height in the picture?
Lighting--Lighting can be soft, like the diffuse indirect light coming from a window or hard like a spot light. Good food photography usually benefits from both--soft light to illuminate the subject and hard light to accent the shape with bright specular highlights. Large light sources relative to the size of the subject are softer than small, pinpoint light sources. You can make a small light larger by adding a diffuser in front of it, or by bouncing the light off a larger surface, or by moving the light closer to the subject.
The light here is fairly hard, and while it's giving some good specular highlights, it's also casting shadows that are complicating the composition. It looks like it could have been a desk lamp or maybe two desk lamps. In nature, there is only one main light--the sun--so you generally want one dominant light source for a natural look. Multiple strong light sources create a theatrical look, which can work, but is much more difficult to get right. The hard light isn't working well on the noodles either, causing them to look greasy.
To soften the light, you could do something as simple as hanging a white sheet of paper in front of the light or turning the light away from the food, and bouncing it off a large white card (foamcore board works well). Also, look at where the shadows are going on the camera screen and consider whether they add to or distract from the composition.
Try to work with just one light for now, but multi-light setups involve a combination of a main light that illuminates and gives shape to most of the scene, diffuse fill light, which is fairly flat and adjusts the contrast ratio between the bright parts of the image and the shadows, and smaller accent lights to draw attention to one thing or another or give a sense of shape.
If you want to learn about light, I highly recommend the book, Light: Science and Magic by Hunter, Biver, and Fuqua. I'd say it's a must-read, if you want to try to photograph your own cookbook.
With a one light setup, you can use a simple reflector for fill. This can be a sheet of paper or a piece of foamcore. The object is to throw some light into the shadows and make sure they have some detail in the image, but not so much that the scene has no shape.
The terrine gives you an opportunity for some translucency, which is an effect that I usually try to exploit. Arrange the food and light it from behind to see if you can get some light coming through the terrine and illuminating it from within, but you might use black cards or some black cloth to keep the light on the terrine from spilling over to other parts of the scene.
Here's a simple shot that I posted recently that illustrates a few of these ideas--
The setup is simple, and the camera was a Canon 40D with a manual focus, 35mm lens. The camera was fairly close to the pancetta, and I used a wide aperture to create a short depth of field zone, to draw attention to the cut slices, which are the sharpest part of the image, and to give a feeling of three dimensional space.
Depth of field refers to the zone of the image that appears sharp, and is a function of the focal length of the lens, the subject distance, the aperture and the format of the film or sensor. At very close distances, as are often used in food photography, the focal length is less important than the magnification ratio, and unless you own different cameras, you don't have much control over the format, so you can reduce depth of field by moving the camera closer to the subject or by using a wider lens aperture (a smaller f:stop number is a wider aperture).
The lighting was just a window behind and to the left of the subject. Backlighting made it possible to show some translucency in the thin rear slice of pancetta, but backlighting also makes for high contrast, so to adjust the contrast, I used a sheet of paper clipped to a bag of flour that I had handy as a fill reflector, and adjusted the position of the reflector until I had a good balance of main light to fill light on the camera's LCD screen, and I also checked the histogram to be sure I had room for adjustment in post processing.
I have lights, stands, and fancier cameras, but for a quick shot for the web, you don't necessarily need that much, and there is more than enough resolution in the full size version of this image for reproduction in print.

I'll check out my camera manual to see if I can tweak the white balance. I love the idea of making my own macro photo studio with a box and some tracing paper! That's right up my alley, lol.

I used Photoshop CS2 (two generations old), but didn't use any plugins or anything I couldn't do with something much more basic. The basic things you want are curves, histogram levels, color adjustment, cropping, resizing, sharpening and the ability to save in a few of the common formats, like JPEG and TIFF. Cloning is also handy for small touchups.

So, I built the macro studio with a box, some tissue paper, poster-board and a couple cheap lamps from Ikea that was mentioned. Check out these results. They were taken at work with an over head florescent light on the ceiling and the two lamps on on each side of the box. I can say that it looks a lot better than before but Im sure they could look better. A couple more practice pics...
Posted 06 July 2009 - 12:22 AM
On the first two, where you're shooting more straight down on the plate, think about the shape of the plate and how you want it to look. In your mind, you know it's round, but it's not necessarily going to look round unless it's aligned and centered--not that you always want the plate aligned and centered, but if you're shooting approximately straight down from the top, distortions become more noticeable, and could be visually distracting. In the first shot, for instance, the front of the plate seems to be looming a bit. You can reduce this effect a bit by moving the camera farther from the plate and zooming in, but stay within the optical zoom range of the lens (as opposed to the extended digital zoom range), or you'll lose optical quality.

OK, I'm over it now: Summer veggies from the farmers market are no more. I've stopped lamenting the absence of local corn and garden-fresh tomatoes. If I shift my cooking methods just a bit, I can embrace the bounty of cold-weather veggies.
Not just the darlings of the new age bistros — Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and butternut. I've been cooking them all fall. Instead, I'm ready to tackle the unsung heroes — kohlrabi, parsnips, turnips and celery root. The gnarly and the unknown.
Think braise, roast, mash, fry and glaze — indoor cooking techniques to go with hearty vegetables. Render out sweetness, coax in flavor, tenderize and palletize.
Take celery root, also known as celeriac, for example. This veggie looks like a root you'd give a swift kick to on a hike in the forest. Employ a sharp knife to remove all the knobby peel and you'll reveal a creamy white and superdelicious flesh ideal for mashing, roasting, frittering and braising in brothy soups and stews. Shredded and served raw, it makes a crunchy, hauntingly delicious slaw or salad topper. Since it tends to oxidize upon cutting, toss the raw flesh with lemon juice to prevent browning. No problem if it's destined to be cooked — it'll take on a lovely golden hue when mashed or roasted.
We've been enjoying kohlrabi in our home for years — my kids think it tastes like the stalks of broccoli with a sweeter finish. Others say it's similar in flavor to rutabaga and turnip. I love it peeled and shredded raw in slaw. Boiled or steamed until tender and slathered in butter, it single-handedly dismissed veggie boredom. I love its crunch and sweetness in soups and stews. When it comes with beautiful leafy tops, I chop those leaves and stir-fry them with teriyaki. Simple goodness.
Love of parsnips is inherited from my father. He always sneaks more than his share out of the stewpot or roasting pan. I posit that his sweet tooth gets the better of him, for this pale golden root proves incredibly sweet — especially when slow-roasted or braised. They also make a fabulous mash. (I like to pair them 50/50 with carrots.) Leftover mashed can be transformed into fried fritters. Here, I've braised them in apple cider and gilded them with bacon. Totally irresistible — even for the uninitiated.
Other cold-weather veggies we look forward to exploring in our warm kitchen confines include fennel (braised in broth or shredded into salads) and endive (stir-fried with caramelized onions). I'm doubling every batch of mashed rutabaga (seasoned with butter and black pepper) I make this season — there's never enough. Oh and beets, I've got tons of recipes for beets. I'd better get cooking now!
Bacon braised parsnips
Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Servings: 6
3 slices apple-wood-smoked bacon, diced
1 pound fresh parsnips, trimmed, peeled
1 cup unfiltered apple cider
1 to 2 tablespoon agave syrup or honey
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
1. Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove and reserve crisp bacon.
2. Meanwhile, cut parsnips into sticks about 2 inches long and 1/4-by-1/4 inch. Add parsnip sticks to bacon fat in skillet. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until parsnips are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add cider and syrup. Boil hard over high heat until pan juices reduce to a glaze, about 4 minutes.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with crisp bacon.

Celery root mash with brown butter sage
Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 to 8, about 6 cups
Note: You can also add 1 cup of richly golden sauteed sweet onions to the mashed mixture if desired. Serve this mash with grilled and roasted meat and poultry.
2 large celery roots (celeriac), about 2 1/2 pounds total, scrubbed clean
1 large (12 ounces) russet potato, peeled, cut into large chunks
3 large cloves garlic, halved
2 to 4 tablespoons softened butter
½ cup half-and-half, heated
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
Crispy brown butter sage, see recipe below
1. Trim ends off celery roots. Set the bulb cut side down on the cutting board. Use a very sharp knife to remove all the peel. Cut the peeled bulbs into 1/2-inch-thick slices; cut the slices into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Put celery root, potato and garlic into large saucepan. Cover with salted water. Heat to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, partly covered, until vegetables are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Pour off all water; return pan to low heat. Mash vegetables while adding butter and hot half-and-half until nearly smooth. Season with salt, usually about ½ teaspoon and pepper to taste. Serve topped with brown butter sage.

Crispy brown butter sage
Serve over just about any cooked winter vegetable — such as mashed potatoes, crushed rutabaga, or tender carrots. It's also marvelous on cooked pasta. Melt 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until butter is just starting to turn golden brown. Add 1/2 cup loosely packed large sage leaves and a generous sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring, until butter is about the color of cinnamon, 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Sage will crisp as mixture cools. Use warm.
Makes: 1/4 cup

Hi guys,
I ride slightly fuller boards with a and am looking at getting my first FireWire. Here's te thing, I am looking at getting a 6'4 as my regular shortboard but the alternator is way too wide. My current board is a polyester 6'4x18 and 3/4.
I like the dimensions of the Flexfire 6'4x19x2.5, but am wondering if this will be too refined through the tail and nose. Would this board be much different to an alternator if I ordered the alternator custom with the same dimensions?
I still want a board that I can use in a variety of conditions shoulder high and above likes existing poly which is getting tired..
Thanks, your help is appreciated!

I miss the old set up, I liked being able to respond directly to people and getting emails that I had a response. Let me say in advance that if anyone PODs me, or asks a question within a thread and I don't get back to them I didn't mean anything by it, I just missed you. Sorry!BTW, where's Scritzy?? I miss the big red sig!!
You can still respond to people directly by quoting them and you can still get email notification of responses to your posts. Check out the options in your Profile preferences. You can also click on "Show all unread messages to me" located directly under the "Hello Auntie Venom" at the top of the page.
With the old board, you could see post titles, and the messages, etc., all at once. I can't see everything at once with this one, which is probably better for the site, but... I CAN'T STAND not seeing everything!!! It makes me want to push at the screen to get the dang messages out of the way so I can breathe!!Ok, Ok, rant over... going to shut this off and go take a walk now...
It's taking me a minute to get used to it (I miss the list of topics on the side), but I like the way it reads.So - how's it goin' for all of you?behindbj
Getting to new posts is a pain in the keister for me. Perhaps I just don't know what I'm doing. I'm finding myself spending way too much time trying to figure out what I have and haven't read yet, that I am posting very little.
