Tea At American Girl Cafe In New York City
It started online. I went to the American Girl Place website to make a reservation for tea at their flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York City. Just for fun, my daughter sat on my lap and we built a doll for her together. When it was time to checkout, the grand total was $357, due to some $107 bathrobe and a few other upgrades she had declared necessary. That doll will never be purchased. I made the reservation for tea anyway.
American Girl Place NYC is enormous and quite a scene. My daughter was literally shivering with joy. Expensive dolls, clothing, furniture and more is for sale everywhere you turn. We walked over to the build-your-own doll section where almost every color of hair, skin and eye combination is available. Online, La Jolla Girl decided she wanted a little strawberry blonde, blue-eyed girl just like her. Instead, $108 later and after serious negotiations, we walked out with the doll below…
…a doll that looks like her mother. We have the same skin tone and everything. Needless to say my cousins and sister-in-law, who were joining us in the cafe for tea, also found this funny. I'm just hoping she doesn't have buyers remorse somewhere down the line. We did not have time to have the doll's hair done, but this blows me away every time I see it.
Yep, it's a doll salon.
New York's American Girl Cafe on the 3rd floor is decorated entirely in black and white with hot pink highlights. Tea is from 4:00-5:00pm, though you may book for lunch or dinner too. When we were seated at our table, the new doll, Dora, was given her own high chair and tea set. They have loaners available at the cafe for those girls who forget or don't have dolls.
But here's the thing, almost every little girl in the cafe already had a doll that looked exactly like them and a lot were even wearing matching outfits.
We had a proper tea set with peanut-free, kid-oriented sandwiches and desserts. They were also very careful to ask about food allergies when I made the reservation, which I appreciated. Adults can even order a mimosa or a glass of wine, if need be. The price of the tea, excluding alcohol and some specialty coffee drinks, was $20 per person and well worth it for the experience. We kept the flower in the dessert pot as well as the hair ties that served as napkin rings.
All in all, it was a nice experience to share with family members we don't see very often and I'm pretty sure that La Jolla Girl will remember it. She was in a quiet awe the entire time.
But, seriously, if your daughter is into American Girl, how do you manage the cost? Yikes. And you'll love that this is the first question we pulled out of the conversation starter box on the table.

AG has had a long standing in my family. I was 7 I believe when first came out and literally cried when I saw my Samantha doll, now retired sitting there waiting for me at Christmas . I then later received Molly. I loved these dolls dearly. When my daughter turned 3 I was able to enjoy these dolls again. We started with Bitty and now have moved to the bigger dolls. She has 4 dolls now not including my two. They are birthday and christmas gifts. The way I justify them is their longevity and age apropriatness. I see so many toys out there that are not worth a $1. I love how AG teaches my daughter about history. Her favorite is Kit who is helping her to learn about things that can be relatable to our time now. I hope your daughter enjoys them for years to come.
[…] Girl CafeYou can book lunch, afternoon tea or dinner at the cafe. We enjoyed afternoon tea at American Girl Cafe New York City so opted for lunch this time around. Cost per person for lunch was $23 (some drinks, like soda, not […]
My daughter, now 13, loved AG from ages 6-10. I remember this stage so fondly. We lived on the East Coast at that time, and my mother in law lives in Chicago-so we had many opportunities to visit both stores-and got to experience the brunch, lunch and one of the stage shows. Her dolls, and all of their accessories and clothes (some of which never made it out of their wrappings!) were holiday and birthday gifts. Now they're all packed away (sob) and we'll just hang on to them in hopes of having grand daughters someday!!
Soooooo thankful my daughter isn't into this *at all* (though my son once had a Thomas the Tank Engine habit that was quite costly.
Love that her doll lools like you – and find it appropriate that the moms can order a glass of wine (which surely helps the $108 bathrobe make total sense)! LOL
Better you than me my dear friend. 😉

ThunderLeash is a clever and simple no-pull solution for your dog. It converts quickly from a regular leash to a no-pull harness and has safety features to prevent over-tightening. For those times you just need a standard leash for a quick walk or for times when your dog is well behaved, simply connect the ThunderLeash to your dog's collar just like any other leash. But for times when pulling might be a problem, simply wrap ThunderLeash around your dog's torso and slide it into the harness slot. Now, whenever your dog pulls a mild pressure is applied to his torso and the pulling will quickly diminish.
Small: The manufacturer recommends it for dogs 12 to 25 lbs. It seems to us that it would work fine for dogs up to 35 lbs as the Large size is quite heavy. It is 3/4" wide and 6' long when not used as a harness.

Author: Mark Tipton CPDT-KA
Ive been using the new ThunderLeash at our rescue ranch, as well as with my private clients, and Ive had immediate results on dogs of all sizes. Compared to other products, ThunderLeash has been by far the most effective. By naturally placing pressure on the chest, dogs that were once walking their owners, are now walking by their side. The design is ingenious, and its a very well-made and sturdy leash. Everyone Ive introduced ThunderLeash to is excited to purchase their own.
Author: Mary Buckley Kailua Kona, Hawaii IACP
For me as a trainer, the ThunderLeash is an excellent tool. Used properly it reduces the amount of miscommunication that can happen between a person and their dog, especially with non dog trainers with their pet dogs that they simply want to take for a walk in less than ideal environments. I found that with some dogs it works right away, but with some of the more habitual offenders a good introduction lesson or two is necessary to achieve it's fullest potential.
Author: Mr. B
My Trainer let me try the new Thunderleash, I was very surprised how easy it is to use and even more so how my dog responded to it. My dog loves to pull, she doesn't mind me well on walks, but as soon my trainer used the Thunderleash my dog did much better. We walked her for a while and she did great. Then my Trainer let me use the Thunderleash on my dog and I was amazed how well she did with me, she is a total different dog. She doesn't pull me now and walks just fine next to me. I love the color and the feeling of the Thunderleash in my hand and most of all I can use it as a regular Leash as well. Thanks to The Thundershirt Company and my Trainer Doris!

Obviously, someone in Bush's administration felt it was necessary to mention the oil dependency problem. Why?
Any meaningful solutions would take them to places they really don't want to go. Jimmy Carter was last seen leading an expedition to explore those places and he never returned.
He said the solution was technology. In other words, the solution will necessarily involve stuff large corporations can make money from. Like biofuels.
At least he acknowledged there's a problem....

what about hemp? you can make ethanol from that, plus it has other uses that would help decrease pollution, such as making paper, which is cleaner because it doesnt use the chemicals that paper made of wood uses. and unlike trees, you can grow another crop after the last one was harvested, which means youll never run out. and you can make textiles and clothes form it, which is better than cotton cause cotton uses 1/4th of the fertilizers and pesticides and other chemicals to grow where hemp uses barely any, and hemp fabric is stronger and more durable than cotton. and you can make food out of the oil, which, if used in some third world countries could potentially stave off famine. you can make rope too, making it easier to bring back the death penalty by hanging, getting criminals off the streets and freeing up room in prisons, which could be used as schools to educate the youth...that one was a joke, by the way...
but in the end, that wont happen...cause hemp is illeagal to grow, even the ones that have a low TCH level and cant be used as a drug...its all illegal...
Not in Canada it isn't illegal. I see fields of hemp every now and then. Also, trees are a renewable resource when managed properly but are more suited to poorer land. Hemp requires significant moisture to be profitable to grow but does have a lot of potential as a textile crop.
All year baby! -40 to +40 riding weather.
Yea, a real one.Originally Posted by budster
also, in the right conditions, hemp has 3 growing seasons a year, so instead of waiting 75 years to harvest trees again, you can just grow more. ya, in canada you can grow it, but you have to jump through a lot of hoops, and you have to get everything tested which costs per speices growing and per feild its growing in, which can get expensive...the government made it hard to grow legally, so as to deter people from doing it, often denying applications to grow it altogether. they dont make it easy to get on its feet.
I heard somewhere that he'll be giving another speech solely dedicated to energy in another month or so? If that's true, maybe he was just laying the groundwork in the state of the union for more things he'll talk about later. I wont hold my breath though. If the recent past is any indicator (like last year's energy bill) we wont be seeing any real solutions from this government.
The things he proposed last night at best will reduce imports in the long very little. Zero emission coal plants? Do those even exist with current technology? Ethanol from switchgrass (as opposed to corn, which is a complete joke) might make a small contribution to our energy needs, but it's hardly a solution to the problem.
Glad he mentioned the nook U lar power though. Needing nuclear energy is a bitter pill the American public is going to have to swallow.
The dates mentioned were prophetic LOL, hmm, funny coincidence on the goal for mid east independence from oil..........just happens to coincide with ME oil depletion, imagine that. All OPEC reserves are likely overstated by double, Kuwait just admitted their BS story, the others will follow, leaving Iran and Russia as sole owners of the last big viable cheap oil reserves on the planet.
well, ethanol, methanol, and synthetic fuel from coal are going to be likely replacements, some bio-fuel as well, but still no matter what this country is going to have to stop using about 25-50% of current energy usage and get used to that idea
Companies like ADM and Cargill arent going to stand by idly and let this happen.
Grassroots and bypassing the unethical and profit motivated publicly held companies will be what works, but it wont even be much of a dent in current consumption for decades.
sidenote,some of you may have noticed sugar prices climbing lately---like from $250/ton to $470/ton or so, this is what happens when SA countries have switched to ethanol bigtime and they supply cane sugar to the US.......there are far reaching and costly consequences to the US having no foresight for about a century when it comes to energy. Effects like this will quickly become felt following the rise in energy prices, call it the second wave or aftershocks. We saw 25-40% increases in energy during 2005, in 2006 we can expect more of the same, but other goods will be showing the effects as well, its been long enough for the changes to make their way thru the system now.
I think there is a sense of humor in the universe, and that technology already HAS solved the problem, but humans have turned their backs on the solution. The solution is...the bicycle.
Riding in search of the simple life.
here here...ill drink to that...long live the bicycle

I hear his popularity has been taking a beating lately. Sounds like he's just trying to garner support from a different section of the community before the 2006 election. Basically, as far as "ending oil dependence" goes, I'll believe it when I see it.
Evidently he quoted some figures on how much they're planning to spend on research into cheaper fuels, although I wasn't paying much attention at the time. I'd be interested to find out how that figure compares to what they've already spent trying to defend their oil supply in Iraq. I think that comparison would give a more accurate indication of where his preferences lie.

To follow the president's analogy, if we are addicted to oil, then oil is a drug. That makes the president a former drug dealer.
http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwash...hington_nationOne day after President Bush vowed to reduce America's dependence on Middle East oil by cutting imports from there 75 percent by 2025, his energy secretary and national economic adviser said Wednesday that the president didn't mean it literally.
Why am I not surprised?
Hey, I'm a capitalist from the word 'go.' Of course there's a role for technology in solving our 'oil addiction,' and many technologies will be practical only through the efforts of large corporations. But the solution which would make the most difference -- conservation -- was not mentioned once, or even alluded to.Originally Posted by oldguy52
I think, as with most political solutions, the Administration wants very much to appear to be doing something, while at the same time throwing as much money/pork to their supporters as possible.

Good one.Originally Posted by some_guy282
I heard over the radio that oil prices may break over $100.00 USD this summer! The President is trying to ward off any more damage by discussing this phantom energy plan that will not take into effect for another 19 years! He's only has another 3 years left. Come on folks! The driving season is just around the corner and we are looking are record breaking fuel prices.
The Energy bill came and went and there was nothing in it but tax breaks for oil companies to search for more discoveries. In fact, if the President was really serious, his Energy bill should have outlined all those issues in his speach but it's too late now. For example, it did not force the automakers to build fuel efficient cars or any form of energy conservation. Instead, oil refineries are now allowed to build with less enviromental control. This is not a short or long term energy plan.
I've noticed that the big oil companies are running ads in the "highbrow" magazines about the need to end our dependence on petroleum. That makes it appear that Bush is toeing the company line as always.
Obviously there are smart analysts and planners working for these companies. I think they've read the writing on the wall (finally) and realize that cheap oil's days are numbered. They want to position themselves as "energy companies" to cash in on alternative sources. And yes, oldguy, I suppose that it will take big corporations to finance big changes. At least that's one scenario.
Of course, often in history it has been newer upstart companies that cash in on new technologies. (GM and Ford both come to mind in early auto days.) This might be a golden opportunity for venture capitalists.
"Think Outside the Cage"
Yep, Couldn't agree more. The thing I don't understand about this though is why do we have to be told by the President that this would be the right thing to do? Seems to me that if we are smart enough to critique him, we ought to be smart enough to figure the conservation thing out on our own. Not pointing at you when I say this though 'Course the price is probably gonna force this pretty quick anyway, wouldn't you agree??Originally Posted by budster
Pork ?.?.?.?. Seems like there's Plenty of that coming from no matter where you look. Everybody in Congress writes into and/or has input into the bills that pass, not just the majority. That's how their votes get bought and sold on any particular piece of legislation. "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours", eh.

A Mosque and a CathedralGranada, Spring 2010
[gallery link="file"] After arriving in Cordoba, almost a four hour drive away, I realized that my camera was dead. I managed to take a few photos with the small amount of effort it could muster, although for a couple weeks now I thought that the pictures had not saved because they weren't visible on the memory card. But, for some strange reason they have now reappeared, and I decided it would make a good next post. This religious site in Cordoba is interesting and difficult to classify. It is a mosque, yet in the middle of the mosque there is a great cathedral. It truly represents the tolerance that Spain has held for religions other than the one in power. The site originally was a cathedral that both the muslims and the christians shared, yet Abd Al-Rahman I, an Islamic leader, bought the site to build a mosque. Once the christians were in power again in Cordoba, they kept the mosque and built a Cathedral right in the center. It produces a truly strange effect inside the building, yet it is full of incredible architecture.

Silsoe, Bedfordshire, England, MK45 4HR
almost 5 years by Stephen Harmer 5 / 5The renovation being undertaken by English Heritage is excellent and the garden is really worth a visit, in fact I intend to visit often, to watch the reconstruction of this garden as it unfolds.
almost 7 years by pete 3 / 5I rather like Wrest, the house is a magnificent centre point. The planting is not over blown and fussy. Unlike the National Trust you can take your picnic into the gardens. You walk away from the more formal gardens and the garden "architecture" to the canal and its like a walk along a country river.
about 8 years by Veterisflamme 4 / 5Fantastic place to take kids and a picnic as it is very relaxed and informal and you can let the children tire themselves out it hide and seek all day without worrying about them trampling on the flowerbeds in the main garden.Apart from special events it is never over full of other people, so you can wander about pretending it is all yours. If you prefer trees and sweeping grass rather than flowers, it is a fantastic place to visit.
over 8 years by Midlander 3 / 5I've been to Wrest Park lots of times. When you first get a glimpse down the vista it looks terrific, but as you walk around the park it feels a little dull and monotonous.

Wandered around many narrow streets with cool old buildings. Saw giant angel statue high up on the hills overlooking the town. Donated to local street performers playing guitar and accordian, as well as the Virgin Mary in a box.
Had dinner outside at a fancy restaurant in a square by some government building that was all lit up at night. Wined and dined, attempting to order what I thought was lobster and winding up with shrimp. All those years of Spanish in college really paid off!
Back near the hotel, we checked out the clubby part of town and fiesta'd our last night away, congo lines and all.

Red Sky at Night is an accumulating installation that changes each day over the course of the exhibition, through the addition of new material. On day 1 a set of helium-filled balloons, with hand-cut cardboard letters H-O-P-E suspended below them on ribbons are installed in a line against the ceiling. This first set of balloons will stay trapped up against the ceiling through the hours of the gallery opening, until after 8 hours or so they lose a little helium and start drifting from the ceiling. By next morning the first batch of balloons and letters are all on the floor, most likely immediately below the place where they were installed.
At the start of day 2, a new set of 4 helium-filled balloons and letters H-O-P-E gets installed against the ceiling. These will again drop over an 8 hour period… and again come to rest on the ground. The next morning – day 3 – the same process of installing a new batch of balloons is repeated and so on. The process continues daily through the exhibition, on all days the gallery is open to the public. Over the course of the exhibition, the floor beneath the balloons installed at the ceiling slowly fills with balloons from previous days and the work shifts from being a relatively minimal intervention in the space to being a rather sprawling, colourful and chaotic one.

Democratic Party of Virginia Chairman Brian Moran announced Wednesday that he will resign his post next month after an election cycle that saw President Obama carry the state and U.S. Senator-elect Tim Kaine keep retiring U.S. Sen. Jim Webb's seat in Democratic hands.
Mr. Moran was elected in December 2010 to lead the party after former chairman Richard "Dickie" Cranwell announced his resignation.
The former state delegate who also made a bid for governor in 2009 called serving as party chairman "one of the greatest honors of my life."
"As we all know, Virginia Democrats do not have the luxury of a year off from critical elections," he said. "So as we deservedly savor our November victory, it is time to turn the page on 2012 and gear up for 2013.
Accordingly, the transition of chair should occur now and not in the middle of next year's elections."
Indeed, Virginia, along with New Jersey, elects its governors in off-years, and the race will undoubtedly attract national attention. Mr. Moran's resignation will take effect when the Democratic State Central Committee meets on Dec. 8 in Williamsburg, at which point the party will elect a new chairman.
Delegate Charniele Herring, Alexandria Democrat and the House Minority Whip, announced Wednesday that she will be running to replace Mr. Moran. She noted she has the support of former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, who recently confirmed that he will run for governor next year.
Ms. Herring won a special election to fill Mr. Moran's seat in early 2009 after he resigned to run for governor. The razor-close election went to a recount and she ended up winning by 16 votes over Republican Joe Murray.
Mr. Moran said that the party is well positioned to elect a statewide ticket and pick up seats in the House of Delegates next year. He plans to continue to play "a visible role" advocating for the party in the future.
Senator-elect Tim Kaine, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner and Mr. McAuliffe all praised Mr. Moran for his service over the past two years.
"I am immensely proud of the leadership Brian has provided our party over the last two years," Mr. Kaine said. "His commitment to engagement in all corners of the Commonwealth has made the party stronger and expanded our capacity to achieve success in every region of Virginia."
Mr. Warner said last week's elections demonstrate the state party is stronger, more diverse and more energized because of Mr. Moran's work.
"Having served as state party chairman myself, I understand and appreciate the significant time and effort put in by Brian over the last two years to strengthen the Party from the grassroots level," he said.
Mr. McAuliffe, who tussled with Mr. Moran in the 2009 gubernatorial primary ultimately won by state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds of Bath, said Mr. Moran has been an "extraordinary" chairman and the best measure of his tenure was the results of this year's election.
A poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University showed Mr. McAuliffe, the only Democrat who has definitively stated his intention to run, in tight hypothetical match-ups with Republican candidates Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II.
Mr. McAuliffe leads Mr. Bolling by a 2-point margin, 38 percent to 36 percent, and he leads Mr. Cuccinelli by a slightly larger 4-point margin of 41 percent to 37 percent.
If Mr. Warner were to step away from the Senate and run for another term as Virginia governor, he would be the prohibitive favorite, according to the poll. He leads Mr. Bolling by 20 points, 53 percent to 33 percent, and Mr. Cuccinelli by 18 points, 52 percent to 34 percent.
Mr. Warner has said he will make a decision one way or the other by Thanksgiving. But voters, by a nearly two-to-one margin, want to see him run for re-election to the U.S. Senate rather than make another bid for the Executive Mansion. Thirty percent of voters (more than half of which are Republicans) prefer that he does neither.
The poll, conducted Nov. 8-12, surveyed 1,469 registered voters and has a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points.

Played Turnberry's Ailsa course twice on consecutive days. It is not as difficult as one might think; however, if you are off your game it can still get you. Went out with a caddie as part of a threesome on a weekend and it took 4 and 1/2 hours. Went out on Monday by myself and it took 3:15 For a resort, it was surprisingly empty on a weekday (pleasantly surprised). From what I understand Trump is not going to have twilight rates at the Ailsa which is a shame I played twice for less money than it will cost once now. The place has been called the Pebble Beach of Scotland and now it is priced the same. Like Pebble, it is worth it to play once.
The course itself is scenic and does have a variety of good holes. Of course, the holes near the sea are majestic and, like Pebble, beautiful. The lighthouse is omnipresent and the remains of Bruce's Castle are a nice photo #as is most of the place#.
The 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th holes are the best stretch for quality golf; however, I found the 10th to be the best of the seaside holes; the13th with the narrow appearance and the 16th with a burn in front were the best of the inland holes. All the rest is very good as is the par 3.
I was with a caddie on the first day and it helped the experience. I can't say that of all places that I have worked with a caddie. He helped me out for the next day when I was on my own.
Over all, Turnberry is a can't miss in Scotland. It is on the easier side of things as I played each day about 5 strokes better than my handicap. The resort has a variety of restaurants and the 19th hole is a must do. Some of the better #faster) service, better food and excellent views. I can see why they call this place the Pebble Beach of Scotland and it should be on your bucket list. A very pleasant walk indeed.
I recommend this course

Reviewed on 08/26/2014
Played as a single with the best caddy ever, Ian, definitely ask for him! This is a resort course and as such you must know that it is an easy layout. I shot 9 over and I'm a 14 handicap. Huge fairways, it takes a pretty bad shot to find the rough. As pointed out to me by my caddy at Royal Troon, that course doesn't see much changing when hosting the Open Championship. Not so at Turnberry. They have to pinch in the rough, bring it in to make the fairways narrower, so you can expect a bit of a breather if you`re tired of getting beaten up by knee high rough and death by pot bunkers. Still, this place is steeped in history and has some brilliant scenery. Staff is very welcoming, clubhouse and range are excellent. A very enjoyable day on a fantastic links golf course that, if you play well, will flatter your golf ego with a good score

"An eclectic mix of myth and legend"
Reviewed on 03/03/2014
The Turnberry Ailsa Course is an eclectic mix of myth and legend, only it is nearly impossible to discern where one ends the other begins. Stunning views of the Firth of Clyde from the perched hotel are dominated by the Ailsa Craig, a massive "volcanic plug" that sits some ten miles off the mainland that sends one's mind racing to things ancient. Castle ruins surrounding the oft-photographed lighthouse behind the 10th tee are purported to be the birthplace of Scottish hero Robert the Bruce and the land was used not once, but twice, as an airfield during the two World Wars (parts of the tarmac are still visible to this day). Golfing-knights of a more recent era defined their own exploits of lore, including Tom Watson, famed for slaying Jack Nicklaus in an epic "Duel in the Sun" during the 1977 Open Championship, Greg Norman, Nick Price and again, Tom Watson, during the 2009 Open when a heart-breaking bogey on the 72nd hole doomed his historic endeavor. The course is worthy of it's place in history yet maintains a very present-day challenge, particularly the finishing stretch, to today's golfing crusaders.

Played this as the second round of a 36-hole day.
The first three holes are tough, then Nos. 4-11 provide spectacular scenery and require demanding shots.
The ninth hole (the lighthouse hole) is worth whatever rate you pay to play. Beautiful.
Buddy of mine finished birdie-birdie-par to help us win our match and, while playing those holes, it's impossible not to think of Tom Watson in the 2009 British Open. Still can't believe he didn't win that thing!!!

Power Steering Fluid Question
How often do you guys change your power steering fluid out? Also, what color should it be? Also, I should the Power Steering fluid cap just twist off? I remember on my 1999 Seville, you had to press down in the middle and turn at the same time. I checked my cap today and I can just turn it right off.

Re: Power Steering Fluid Question
Cap just turns off.
It's hard to know what has happened , with a high mileage DTS.
I check smell and color, mine was in need, at 100K. It's a messy
process, but definitely a DIY project.
After flush, with new fluid, I installed a, Cardone inline power steering filter ,
on the lower return hose, just above frame. I then added Lucas 1008 stop leak,
with the fill up of the system.
FYI , about 4 feet of soft 3/8 copper tubing, into a large container, was the
flush return, from the "cut" return line, at new filter location.

Re: Power Steering Fluid Question
It is not a part of the normal maintenance schedule. It is not necessary to check power steering fluid on a regular basis unless you suspect there is a leak in the system. The power steering reservoir cap can be removed by just turning it counter clockwise. If the power steering fluid in your Caddy is dirty as compared to a new fluid then you may want to have it replaced by a reputable auto shop. If you are a DIY'er then you can replace it yourself but make sure to remove all the air from the system after replacing with a new power steering fluid. The power steering fluid Part No. is GM U.S. 89021184.
Re: Power Steering Fluid Question
If I was going to replace my power steering fluid, I would probably go by the Dollar Store and pick up a cheap turkey baster and suck all the fluid I could get out of the reservoir and refill it.
Then a couple of weeks later do it again and repeat every couple of weeks till it was clean again.

Re: Power Steering Fluid Question
Hay Guys don't make such a mystery, the power steering pump, runs 100% of the time.
A flush may save an aging system, an in-line filter, will keep the crap out, and Lucas
1008 stop leak, will prolong seal life. A mity-Vac pulling a vacuum on the pump reservoir,
will remove any air in a power steering system.
Re: Power Steering Fluid Question
I wouldn't put Lucas or Seafoam anything in a blown up Briggs&Stratton lawnmower, much less a decent car. (but, working behind the counter at the local Western Auto, selling the stuff to the GPOP is good spiff)
Superjim's post hit it on the head: 3 times a year, during normal underhood checks and tinkering, I use a squeeze bulb with a 10" length of small vacuum hose attached to remove all the fluid from the reservoir - about 16 ounces. Then refill with standard GM-approved P/S fluid (no "stop leak" crap that swells the seals). As of 12/16/13 what comes out is pale yellow clear P/S fluid.
On the flip side, I completely exchange all brake fluid every 4 years - in the car and both trucks. Nary a brake problem.
Thanks for your help. Will use the turkey baster method a few times a year.

Re: Power Steering Fluid Question
I like the turkey baster idea - by the way, what power steering fluid should we be using?
Re: Power Steering Fluid Question
In your owner's manual - a GM approved type, NOT any sort of ATF. P/S hydraulic fluid. Read the labels on various brands - and I would stay away from the "Stop Leak" types as they tend to swell the various shaft seals in a healthy system - leading to problems.

Excessive demand might mean that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus won't make it into your hands until October in some cases — but users waiting for iPhone 6 accessories could be delayed even longer.
According to sources who spoke with Cult of Mac, many smaller, non-Apple companies are currently unable to get the necessary Lightning connectors and authentication chips needed to manufacture products because Apple has snapped up all the available inventory.
Many MFi part distributors won't give any estimates on availability, which means both manufacturers and end users could be in for a wait before regular shipments of related iPhone and iPad accessories resume.

Also sFilter seems to be broken. It cannot be seen in this screen, but for my main character (rogue, CP are displayed to the right of the player bar as a quite large number) I used it as selfbuff display. Guess I'll have to slap shantalya a bit, so he'll update his addons for me (>^ ^)>

People, we have the "Ask it! UI/Mods Edition" thread for questions about panels or other addons. DON'T ask in this thread.
Also this thread is not for discussion or telling everyone how much you dislike some pre-BC chinese UI.
One more thing:
Taryble, as much as i appreciate that you're trying to help by answering all those addon questions, you should know that you should not do it in here. Please refrain from doing so.

I personally love my UI. Tell me what you think! I was going for a dark-iron rusted iced-over look (Northrend-ish). My raid frames have the same frost-texture/color that my nameplate/target has. Looks very cool, thanks to XPerl (it was updated recently).

Alright, I've got a few here. The first thing i have to say is, I'm a huge fan of Neza's Ui's. Which is why i strive each time i see a new one, to recreate it with my own little twist.
First up is one Neza himself posted earlier, I've dubbed the profiles "NezaUI3.0"
[img width=400]http://hdimage.org/images/ytwfkrml5bfto52h8bea_ocrnhot042709232648.jpg[/img]
Normally ToT is in that center gap, omen appears under it, and cast bars under the player/target frame. It uses no raid frames.
Oh, those two floating skills there, sheep is there for the antechamber trash, and a living bomb focus macro is there as well so i can bomb Kologarns main body while dpsing his arm.
This next one is my latest recreation, of Neza's latest creation(to my knowledge) i call it "NezaHealUI1.0"

I especially enjoy this one, and am very happy at how it turned out. It was a pretty tough one to rebuild. Only note you cant see, is power aura's on each side, and I'm working on a scaling grid frame in kg panels depending on group size, that appears below the action bar.
This last one i made myself, but after using that 2nd UI on my priest alt I'm tempted to drop this one entirely and pick up that UI on my Shaman as well, either way.
[img width=400]http://hdimage.org/images/wuwipzkjwyjixdxophe_ewshammyui.jpg[/img]
The target buffs make it look extremely lame, but i cant seem to find an earth shield tracker so I'm stuck with them... any suggestions there would be taken with much gratitude.
Just to say this again, ALL credit for the first 2 UI's go's to Neza, i did not design them, i only remade them for myself.

An eye-opening documentary on how a group of Holocaust survivors created a community of shelter for over 1,000 other victims of Nazi persecution.
Reaching back more than 75 years, REFUGE: Stories of the Selfhelp Home gives a voice to the final generation Holocaust survivors from Central Europe. The documentary, airing Sunday, November 10, 2013 at 11 p.m. on WXXI-TV, explores the lives of six survivors and refugees against the context of the Nazi cataclysm and how a small group of them came together to create a community that has given shelter to more than 1,000 victims of Nazi persecution from Central Europe. The film illuminates the lost world of Central European Jewry prior to World War II middle class, educated, cultured and the remarkable courage, resilience and character of its final generation at Selfhelp in Chicago.
The film commemorate the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht (November 9-10, 1938), translated from German as the "Night of Broken Glass" or "Crystal Night", the coordinated series of attacks by the Nazis against Jewish communities throughout Germany and Austria. The film is presented by WOUB Public Media and is distributed to public television stations by American Public Television.
The film's director, Ethan Bensinger, who lives in Chicago, comes from a German-Jewish family who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s and eventually settled in Chicago in 1958. The documentary grew out of a project to interview the last remaining survivors and refugees at the Selfhelp Home.
Since its premiere at the Illinois Holocaust Museum in June 2012, REFUGE has been screened widely at film festivals, museums, schools, libraries and synagogues. It has been honored with the top award for excellence at the recent Beloit Film International Festival, as well as "Best Documentary" and "Best in Fest" awards at the Sycamore Film Festival, and the Emerging Documentary Filmmaker Award at the Geneva Film Festival. Recently the film was featured in a project by Germany's national broadcaster, Deutsche Welle to trace the remnants of Germany's Jewish community around the world.
The refugees and survivors in the film speak vividly of the loss of family and of place, and of decisionsthat meant the difference between life and death. Several of the elderly survivors personally witnessed Kristallnacht. Others speak of finding refuge in England through the Kindertransport, escaping to the United States and Shanghai, hiding on estates and in castles in France, and deportation to the Theresienstadt and Auschwitz concentration camps.
Selfhelp was founded in the late 1930s by a handful of young Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany to the safety of Chicago. Through prescience, pooled resources and a strong spirit of volunteerism, Selfhelp provided housing, food, English classes and job placement services to other displaced Jewish émigrés and later, after the war, to Holocaust survivors. They put people up in their own homes and reached deep in their pockets to give those who came with nothing the basics of what they needed to start new lives in a new country.
In 1950, Selfhelp opened up a residential home for the oldest refugees and survivors, whose atmosphere reproduced some of the home life and cultural experiences that they had lost. To date, more than 1,000 refugees and survivors have spent their last years at the Selfhelp homes in Chicago's Hyde Park and Edgewater communities.

It probably makes statistical sense that Emmitt Smith would run into a distant cousin when he visited Burnt Corn, Alabama. If your family put down roots in a small town and remained there for any length of time, at least a handful of descendants could still be around the town today. In Burnt Corn, which boasts only around 300 residents, that handful of Watsons to whom Emmitt is related might seem awfully big.
But even in a small town, it seems like Watson would be a tough name to track – after all, it's relatively common, although I've learned through the years that having a somewhat unique surname doesn't always make connections easy.
To really figure out if I'm related to everyone with my surname, I'd have to do quite a bit of research – way more than I'd have time for in a single lifetime. And based on people who've contacted me through the years to say that we have a family link, it would appear there are more Adams and Maples in my family tree than there are Croasmuns.
"So how are we related?" That's usually my first question when someone calls or writes to say we're connected. Sure, "cousin" works, but I want to know what kind. Sometimes figuring that out gets tricky.
There are a handful of cousin/relationship charts and calculators available online and each one requires the same thing: that you and the other person know your relationship to the relative you share. In other words, it all comes back to the paper trail. Most recently I was contacted by the neighbor of the spouse who had been working on the family tree of my second cousin once removed. Yes, it took me a while to get the connection straight.
Following a connection based solely on a surname may not guarantee success, although it can prove to be a good jumping-off point. In Emmitt Smith's case, even when he found a Puryear slave owner with a slave named Mariah, Emmitt still sought documented proof that Prince – the Puryear to whom Emmitt knew he was related – was her son. He found that proof.
Since it seems like Croasmuns are sometimes well hidden (one of the problems with a unique surname is that it often gets mis-transcribed) I let technology do some of the cousin-finding for me. Member Connect at Ancestry.com shows me who else is saving the records I'm looking at. If they're family, I may want to connect with them and compare notes. Or I can scroll up and down a census page to see who is researching other people in the neighborhood — maybe they know something that can help me with my family search, too. As for straight surname hunting, message boards and family trees are always helpful. Even if I don't find the exact relative I'm looking for, I almost always learn something new about the family.
By the way, if you missed Emmitt Smith's episode or you want to preview next week's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? featuring Lisa Kudrow and her search for an ancestor who was killed in the Holocaust, visit www.nbc.com/who-do-you-think-you-are. Also remember to enter the Ancestry.com Ultimately Family History Journey Sweepstakes. C'mon, who wouldn't love to have $20,000 to visit the family's home?
About Jeanie Croasmun
Jeanie Croasmun has been working at Ancestry.com while futilely attempting to prove the horse thief story in her family history for over seven years. During that time, she learned enough about her family to determine that the story is likely a great work of fiction. But the search continues ...

I have been doing my family genealogy for years. Ever since I was a little girl I have been told that I am a descendant from Johnny Appleseed! I have been trying to figure out how. It has been a tale that has been passed down and a part of the family that has never actually been unlocked.
I wish you the best of luck in your journey. May you find your answers for you and your research, just luck all of us do.

I've always wondered the same thing about my last name- especially since I don't usually come across it in many social settings…great post 🙂
My mother's maiden name was Dryer – looking things up on the internet, you would be amazed how many ads popped up for washers and dryers!!
In my family we have a Fisher who married a Dunn from Ireland a few generations back in the Fisher line one of the girls married a Dunn from England.
Most of my ancestors were secretive about family matters. I was always told "Them there people don't want nothing to do with you". That was my inspiration to find out why, so I moved to the area. A 3rd cousin helped me. We were grandchildren of "them there people". What we found was shocking, heartbreaking, comical & very proud. On the other side, I found children & grandchildren of some great Uncles. With all the research & paperwork, I came on Ancestry. Having my documents, along with the knowledge, I was able to do my tree. What about "them there people"? It was true that some would not welcome me, but the majority were very glad to tell me about "our family". All of us have the truth now.
Hi I was inspired by the new show to start looking! Well guess what i think i found!I think I am related to 5 U.S. president's! Including Abraham Lincolns is that cool or what!!! And one guy that translated the bible!!! Are you kidding me Can this be real? What a true American story!I am not a paying member yet but have did the best I can to research this .One of my Grandfathers was Thomas Taylor 1574-1618 that came on the ship True Love and his son John The Emigrant Taylor 1607-1652 If anyone can help me prove this please let me know if you can help Thanks so much!!
Your tweet captured my attention immediately but I really wanted the answer to, "if you have a not so common name does it mean you are related to everyone with that name". Still loved the blog even though it didn't answer my question.
BTW……I have collected many cousins charts over the years but I have to say the link you gave was the most confusing I've seen.
Re: #6
If you were looking at at the "Find Famous Relatives" feature, sorry probably not.
It uses info from a database called One world Tree that is riddled with errors. It somehow managed to connect a bunch of unrelated people to few key ancestors of some lines containing a number of notable individuals of English descent.
As an example, it connects a Swiss 10x great grandfather on my German born mother's family to an English woman living in Sussex.
Dave Smith
when i started building my tree i had my info in place up to my grt.grt.grandfather(isaac newton walker)b:1780 in n.carolina.i did not know the names of his siblings.it has been very frustrating because their are so many isaac,james and william walkers that it is "mind boggalin" if there is such a word.i can't seem to figure it out…..help!
One of my ancestors is from Germany with the surname Gift and indeed pretty much everyone with that surname in the USA traces back to that same ancestor.
One of my co-workers is named Nettles and pretty much everyone with that surname traces back through South Carolina to a Captain John Nettles who settled in colonial Virginia.
The common thread between these two surnames is that Gift mean "poison" in German and Nettles means "weeds" in English!
My own surname is uncommon but other than one large family which settled in Kentucky, most Omer people emigrated from Germany and England or elsewhere with no known relationship.
Just loved your "believe she descends from magicians" comment, made me laugh and smile to myself, because I too an having distant grandparents that are in the censuses then the next census they are not and then the next, here they are again. What did they do that missing census, get lost? Anyway thanks for the laugh.
[…] Am I Related to Everyone with My Last Name? […]
The problem I've seen is that durimng the 1850 thru 1900 census' the last name of my g-g-parents was changed a total of three times. If people ask me if they are related to me with last name of Cary I tell them probably not. I then go on to explain how the last name went from (Kerle. Keri, Carey, to now Cary). I believe the census takers wer just as illiterate as the people whom they were interviewing. They spelled it like it sounded.
Another big proble I encountered was people did not check for complete, name spelling, where born, what county/state, more info you have that jives makes it more believable.
My mother's maiden name (Insall) is unusual in the US but more common in England where my gg grandfather came from. He settled in Louisiana, had a large family, and when he died his widow and children came to Texas. When I find the Insall surname in Texas, I can definitely trace the connection. A few with that same surname settled in the North but are probably related. Now, on the other hand, try researching common names such as Smith, Brown, Jones and Johnson(my maiden name). All are in my family lineage. My gr grandfather was a Smith who married a Brown and whose mother was a Jones. That is very frustrating. And if your surname is also a common given name, that is even worse. My husband's grandmother's maiden name was Paul. We all have our obstacles but with patience research, we can at least overcome some of them.

wedding day family portraits
formal portraits on your wedding day are such an important aspect of your day…..as much as i love getting ready images & details….there is something so profound about the legacy of family coming together in joy & celebration….i think of group shots as family heirlooms….they become more special & valuable with time….there are a couple of things to consider when planning your group photos…what is the best time for formal photos?? there really is no right answer, just what is right for you….doing them before the ceremony has some advantages….it frees up your time after the ceremony, which can be nice if you want to enjoy your cocktail party….this may not be the best plan though, if you are a true romantic….seeing your groom & his family before the ceremony may be great for photos but does not work for some couples who want to see each other for the first time at their ceremony….there are a couple of alternatives….you can do all the formal portraits after the ceremony….which maintains the magic of the first glimpse of each other at the ceremony….but often means missing some or all of your cocktail party….or you can do some formals before the ceremony separately & then again together after the ceremony together….which is a good solution, but will demand more time from you & your families…or i also like to plan a special moment where the bride & groom can see each other before the ceremony, alone….it maintains some of the magic & importance of the first moment of seeing each other and then also enables the groups shots to be done before the ceremony….whatever you decide, make sure you communicate you desires both with your photographer & your families….good communication makes for beautiful photographs…..happy wedding….xoxo
a little more sweetness...

your work is so impeccable and the photographs makes it look fun gathering folks for the big day photos. i love that photo too, and normally formals are hardest part of the day. thanks for inspiring us!

I wish that family portraits weren't so reserved for special occasions. I try to lobby for my parents and my siblings to take one every time I'm home (which isn't often). Having it in the same place outside the house really lets you see how things change over time..

Is Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM; a robust version of k-means) much different than METIS partitioning of matrices? I mean of course they are different methods, but will the output be substantially different?
I don't know Metis, just know that it is a partitioning method for matrices. If one applied PAM and Metis to distance matrix, how different would the results be?
Background: I read a working paper that used Metis to partition a sociomatrix (an nxn matrix of who is friends with whom). Since Metis is not implemented in R, I want to roughly get at their results using PAM.
Thoughts? Any references would be very helpful.

Israel ranked eighth on Gallup's list of Americans' favored countries; Iran ranked last
Yitzhak Benhorin
Published: 02.19.12, 09:49 / Israel News
Yitzhak Benhorin
WASHINGTON - A Gallup poll found that Americans are feeling more favorably toward several of the United States' major allies in 2012 than they have in the past.
Related articles:
The survey found Great Britain
(90%), France (75%), and Israel
(71%) rated near their all-time highs.
is the least well-regarded country measured this year, with 10% of Americans viewing it favorably and 87% unfavorably.
Americans' favorable ratings of Iran have been consistently low since Gallup's first measurement with this question in 1989, mostly registering around 10% but with a range from 5% (in 1989) to 17% (in 2004).
According to the poll, only one country this year - China - suffered a real decline among Americans, with its favorable rating falling from 47% in 2011 to 41%.
"In a year when America continues to be faced with political and economic foreign policy challenges around the world, Americans are feeling warmer than ever toward several of the United States' long-standing allies, including Canada, Australia, Germany, India, and Japan, while maintaining high views of Great Britain, France,
and Israel," Gallup's website said.
More generally, the survey showed, nearly all of the countries that garner majority unfavorable ratings are located in the Mideast or in Asian countries outside of that region.
rating recovered somewhat to 47%, after slipping to 40% in 2011 from 58% in 2010.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's rating has increased to 42% from 37% a year ago and is the highest for that country since February 2001, when it was 47%.
Surprisingly, Cuba's favorable rating rose to a new high of 37%, placing it well ahead of Libya (25%), Iraq (24%), the Palestinian Authority (19%) and Syria
Countries appearing at the bottom of the favorability list include Pakistan (15%), Afghanistan (14%) and North Korea (13%).

I almost didn't make it to Congenital Heart Lobby Day. I decided at the last minute to go (boy are flights expensive when you book them two days in advance!); my mother-in-law ended up in the hospital; and my flight almost didn't happen because of "severe" weather. But, I made it to D.C. There were many great highlights—the wonderful reception at the Heart House, meeting with my Massachusetts Senate and House aides, and of course navigating the buildings and standing in the security lines. But what really stuck with me, and often does in my life, are the people involved in Lobby Day and their stories.
My Massachusetts lobbying partner was a doctor from Children's Hospital Boston. She had lobbied before and was a great teacher. And her professional work was fascinating to learn about. I didn't know half of the organizations she works with that make up so many aspects of our care in the CHD community. I realized how much goes on behind the scenes—the devices, the quality assurance, the sharing of knowledge—which we are not aware of and take for granted. I found myself making a list of the acronyms she used so I could learn about all the organizations they stand for and what they do to help us keep on keeping on!
Meeting the ACHA folks was a bonus of the day for me. In the world of electronic communications, we often spend a great deal of time e-mailing or messaging, but never really connecting. Having the opportunity to put the faces with the names was wonderful. Amy, Terri, Jen and Paula, I loved meeting you and am blessed to have your energy and know-how working for all of us! It is because of you we have a voice in D.C. and around the country. Thank you!
Finally, the group of ladies from Mended Little Hearts in Virginia. Our paths crossed a couple times, but down in the bowels of the Senate buildings, as I faced a meeting with my not-so-supportive Republican Senator alone, they took me under their wing. I got to hear some of their stories and see their passion for fighting for this cause that directly affects their families. I realized that as much as they were fighting for their children—those surviving their defects and those who had not—it was that very same reason I was there too. As much as I want to have many more years of my life, it is the lives of my children I want to experience. I want to see all of it—just as much as they want to see their children's lives flourish.
So, bumpy flight, security, unbelievably long walks and Senators who aren't on board, bring it on! From birth to death, every CHDer needs a voice to fight for research, surveillance and awareness. Because if we don't, who will?
Kim Edgren was born in 1966 with transposition of the great arteries, pulmonary stenosis and ventricular septal defect. She recently became the proud owner of a Melody valve! When she is not trying her hand at writing she is busy spending time with her partner and three girls, managing her two child care centers and planning her next vacation.

So I bought a set of Suntour derailleurs for the bike I'm working on and I'm having some issues getting the RD just right. It seems to be functioning ok (a bit of an issue when I go large cog/large chain ring but no biggie), but when I peddal backwards the cage tends to pivot with the lower pulley moving towards the chainring before the chain begins to rotate. This causes the chaing to become really loose on the top and drag across the chain stay.
The pulleys seems to be spinning fine and I've tried adjusting the angle of RD, but nothing seems to work and I'm really at a loss here. When I hold the lower pulley as I spin backwards - no problem. So I tried tightening the screw that the cage pivots on, but it is as tight as it goes. Any othe suggestions?
I know the easy answer is, "don't peddal backwards" but the bike isn't for me and I'd rather not hand it over with a list of instructions.

//Stephanie celebrating the 30D's arrival in the Spadina Station corridor.
Last night was my first night out with the new Canon 30D. Boy, is it heavy compared to my other equip. I will have rippling bicepts/forcepts by the end of the month.
One of the main draws to switching to Canon was the low-light capabilities of this model. I don't do a lot of sunny day/wildlife/flower/landscape work, so low-light quality was a top priority. This photo was the final test of the evening. Seeing as jumping pictures have always been reserved for sunny days, I wanted to see if I could freeze action in the dim flourescent light of Spadina Station. Mission accomplished. (if you're curious, settings were: ISO 1250, f4.0, and 1/125 shutter on the Sigma 10-20mm lens. Hoo.)
