Campmor H2H Rumble in the Jungle
Racing at Jungle Habitat, is one of the highlights of the year for many mountain bikers. The defunct 70's safari theme park has taken new form, with 30 years of new growth and vines entangling trees and structures of another era. Jorba, the main force behind the extensive trail planning and building in the park, has done a great job on the trails, and this race shows them off well. Racers were certainly challenged with rocks galore and tight off camber single-track with trees nipping at their handle bars the whole way. And if that wasn't enough to keep their attention, racers could also take in the historical sites along the route as they would ride past a monkey cage, an amphitheater, to the top of a hill, in between tiger and baboon pens, through fences, past an umbilical cord vine, through a tunnel, into the deer pen and around the 80 acres of crumbling parking lot.
It was nice to see Team Campmor out racing on the trails they helped to build! - Ellen

Shenandoah 100
It's All in the Family
With over 500 competitors attending the 10th annual Shenandoah Mountain 100 the atmosphere was nothing short of a grassroots festival. At the local Stokesville campgrounds a myriad color of parked cars, Porto-Johns, tents and Ez-ups scattered the outskirts of the start/finish area. Saturday's check-in and registration was followed by a classic pre-race meal of spaghetti and meatballs. Despite the number of hungry riders eager to fill their stomachs, dinnertime was a rather relaxed mixture of conversation and laughter among a gathering of distant members of the same cycling family.
The evening rolled on with the hoot and holler of a rowdy riders' meeting, and eventually night blanketed the sacred mountains of Virginia. Headlamps and flashlights searched for tent zippers leading to slumber and just before midnight an assembly of clouds decided to deluge the sleeping campers below. Bellows of thunder accompanied illuminating flashes of energy between each drop of rain and the next day's course became progressively more interesting. The campsite faded into sleep amid sheets of rain and pages of mountain bikers' dreams.
The following morning a rain-soaked pre-dawn darkness greeted hundreds of five a.m. risers rubbing fistfuls of night from their eyes. The breakfast scene was typical—bagels and boiling oatmeal water, peanut butter and bananas—and within minutes of consumption the diffused light of an overcast day began to stretch itself over those preparing for the trek ahead. Come six-thirty there was just enough light to get a clear view of the multi-colored sea of spandex congregating about the start/finish area. With a simple "go" the click of cleats entering pedals resounded as hundreds of members of the same family embarked on a hundred mile odyssey through the Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia.
No more than ten minutes into the ride did I find myself with a swollen tongue and sore throat after having ejected some sort of bee from the depths of my mouth. Was this a premonition of things to come or a minor hindrance to surmount?—I decided on the latter and kept a steady pedal while attempting to assuage some of the pain with squirts of cool water. It was not until we hit the first singletrack climb that my throat actually began to close, thus restricting the necessary flow of oxygen to my already out-of-breath body—needless to say, I pulled to the side and began to yell in hopes that someone might have the denouement to my particular dilemma. Someone did. Kristin Eddy, who turns out is the second ever female to win an off-road iron distance triathlon, was passing and happened to have a flask each of Ledum Palustre and Apis Mellifica, which when combined form an excellent homeopathic solution for the swelling caused by a bee sting. Thank you, Kristin.
With a freshly reopened throat I settled into enjoying the mixture of singletrack and fireroad descents and climbs, all of them fairly long in length, that straight up begged me to partake in the greatness they had to offer. Throughout the day, several mantras played consistently inside my mind, with frequently interjected guest appearances of a few choice songs. As well, I remained focused on a list of simple yet personal goals: no longer than seven minutes at each aid station; middle ring or nothing, granny gear was not an acceptable option; push the limits of turning; love and appreciate what you are doing (this one goes without saying); complete what you have started. I am grateful to say that all of my goals were achieved, and as a bonus my low expectations in terms of projected finishing time were knocked clear out of the water when I arrived at the campgrounds at 10:58.56 to take 11th in an open field of 40 plus women. I'll take that for my first shot at a 100 miler.
My goals, however, might not have been so obtainable without, at least, two outside factors: the first was the dedication of all the volunteers at each blessed aid station—the smorgasbord of heavenly comestibles, the tech support eager to lube a thousand grimy chains, the youth and adults alike prompt to refill bottle after bottle with your beverage of choice; the second was Al Yoon, of GFK Racing, whom I encountered shortly after leaving aid station 4 (mile 57). Feeling a little sluggish in the false flats, I asked Al if he minded my sitting on his wheel for a bit. He did not, and for the remainder of the race Al and I would trade back and forth; pacing, pushing, and encouraging one another; devouring, consuming, and rushing through aid stations; keeping the flow rolling and constant. We would finish the race together, high-fiving as our grins crossed the finish line. I am a firm believer that we cross paths with people for a reason, however blatant or indeterminable that reason might be; Kristin and Al reaffirmed my belief, and with that, a hundred miles of riding mountains reached a culmination at contentment and peace. In retrospect, I have come to the conclusion that it was more than simply a solo effort. Rather, it was a family working together towards a common goal, a unity without which I might not have faired as well. Certainly, I could have gone it alone, and physically I did; yet, why deny the fact that we are here to help each other out, to learn from one another? If we begin as family, regardless of the outcome of events, we still end as family, comprised of those who we have affected and those who have affected us; and that, perhaps, is what we must remember to take home in the end.

24 Hours Of Allamuchy
Waking up to a beautiful race day....
After nearly a decade of the dreaded Allamuchy rain curse, good fortune finally came to 24 hour racers. Clear skies, cool nights and dry conditions were enjoyed by all. A slightly lighter turn out, made for a festival style atmosphere with the return of the disco ball to the Jorba campsite. While racers embraced the new found dusty conditions, and night festivities, sleep deprivation was still the main challenge. And as always, we ask ourselves afterwards, "why do we do this?" … and then three days and 40 hours of sleep later, we are ready to do it again.

Will Oltman might seem to be an unlikely person to get on a stage and perform.
He's quiet, keeps to himself, and doesn't look to be the center of attention.
"In real life, I'm an introvert," Oltman said.
But once he's on stage and all eyes are on him, he's a different person.
"I'm usually the person who's not talking a lot, so this gives me a static audience where I can be in front of the group and do my thing and people will listen," he said.
A native of the Chicago area, Oltman learned how to juggle from a friend in fourth grade, and he's never stopped. Since then, he's performed magic tricks, improv, and more on stage. He started his career as a 10-year-old when his mom drove him around to various birthday parties and events where he would perform.
"Back then, I was Chilly Willy the Amazing Conjurer and Juggler Extraordinaire," Oltman said. "I was doing pretty well for a fourth grader."
Oltman went on to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology. His wife, Tasha Oltman, brought him to Grand Rapids in 2005, where he finished his studies at Kendall College of Art and Design, with a bachelor's degree in industrial design.
His high school juggling partner introduced Oltman to Tasha, who also participated in a juggling club.
"He said, 'She's pretty cool, you should talk to her,'" Oltman said.
They started their relationship by talking on the phone and via instant messaging for half a year until they met in person. Oltman later transferred schools to be with her in Grand Rapids.
|See Will Juggle
• Nov. 7, performing as part of Comedy Outlet Mondays
Dog Story Theater, 7 Jefferson Ave. SE, Grand Rapids
Show starts at 7 p.m., tickets are $5
• Nov. 11, performing at Flowerland's Holidazzle
Kentwood Flowerland, 4321 28th St. SE, Kentwood
6-9 p.m., free and open to the public.
Registration required at myflowerland.com
Today, Oltman goes by the stage name Will Juggle and regularly performs around West Michigan. He currently has a 30- to 45-minute variety show featuring his main act of juggling, although he often ventures off into puppeteering and improv.
Oltman works everything from birthday parties and corporate events to street performance, but he's also performed for the president of the United States and on the streets of Paris.
"I've been from Reno, Nev. to Buffalo, N.Y. and everywhere in between," Oltman said.
Currently, Oltman performs at Grand Rapids-based Dog Story Theater for Comedy Outlet Mondays every other month. His schedule typically includes about 100 juggling shows each year.
Oltman is led by his own curiosity, as he likes to learn as many skills as possible. So far, he's dipped into karate, falconry, barbershop quartet singing, dancing, bowling, swing dancing with his wife and playing the trumpet.
"I guess I'm a collector of hobbies," he said with a laugh.
If there's one constant in his life, it's Oltman's sense of humor.
"My whole life, I've sort of been funny," Oltman said. "I keep a notepad at the side of my bed to write jokes as I'm falling asleep.
"I think comedy was just a natural outpouring of the people who I'm surrounded by."
For his wife, that makes for an "interesting" life.
"There's silly voices and accents, inside jokes. … He makes up songs and the words don't make any sense, but I think it's hilarious," Tasha Oltman said.
Despite the accolades from family, friends and audience members, Will Oltman continues to push himself and hold his shows to a high standard, discussing the performances with his wife, who also takes photos.
"Part of my support in being there at every show is just to support him and have that familiar person there, a level of comfort and familiarity, and then also to help refine the act," Tasha Oltman said. "I can hear the crowd's reactions to help him refine or tweak something."
For a day job, Will Oltman works in product design and development at Ada-based 2B Studio. Before that, he worked at Newell Rubbermaid, where he helped design the PaperMate InkJoy Gel Pen.
Oltman is a member of Civic Theatre's Rapid Delivery Improv Troupe and remains involved in Last Retort, a group he and local comedian Amy Gascon started a year ago that produces weekly sketch videos.
Additionally, Gascon and Oltman are trying to start GR Comedy Tours to offer guests a comedic tour of the city. He has already received his certification as a Grand Rapids Tourism Ambassador from Experience Grand Rapids.
Regardless of his pursuits, Oltman says he's thankful to be fulfilling his comedic passions, and for always having his wife and favorite audience member around to take in the daily impromptu performances.
"Occasionally on a Saturday morning, we'll go find a bunch of estate sales to drive around to, and I might be talking entirely in gibberish all the way up until lunch," he said.
Tasha Oltman said life is full of laughs. Having fun with Will allows them to "escape the adult world."
"The silly things just remind me how much I love him," she said. "He's constantly making me laugh and making me feel happy, reminding me to be silly."

Creamy, decadent Macaroni & Cheese Soup topped with crispy bacon is the ultimate cool weather comfort food!
I've got four words for you today, friends:
Macaroni and cheese SOUP.
The End. And now onto the recipe!
Okay, okay...just kidding. We'll get to the recipe shortly. In the meantime, you wouldn't want me to skip over the flowery descriptions and glowy photos of this deliciousness, now would you?!
So! Mac & Cheese Soup. It's a thing, y'all. In fact, it's a creamy, cheesy, decadent, mouthwatering thing. Now this is clearly not lightened-up health food, folks. However, it is fall/winter comfort food TO THE MAX. It's hearty and filling and oh-so-yummy. And as if that's not enough, let's top it with bacon, shall we?
Macaroni & Cheese often garners a reputation for being bland...which is probably a big part of the reason it's so beloved by kids. Regardless, I decided to infuse this Mac & Cheese Soup with some extra oomph. A dollop of tomato paste and a spoonful of dry mustard powder add a subtle boost of flavor, but not one that's blatant enough for anyone to single out those specific ingredients.
As far as preparation, this recipe is easy enough to make. Boil and drain the macaroni and set aside. Make a roux-based sauce, thinned out with extra broth and milk to make it more 'soup-like.' Stir in the cooked noodles. Ladle into bowls. Top with crispy chopped bacon. Cover your ears to shield them from the deafening cheers emanating from the dinner table.
And that's it! Macaroni & Cheese Soup is almost sinful in its scrumptiousness. The kids will love it...the adults will love it...the mac & cheese aficionados will go BANANAS for it. Yep...four little words never tasted so good. 😉
Macaroni & Cheese Soup Recipe
Macaroni & Cheese Soup
- 6 ounces dry elbow macaroni, about 1 1/2 cups
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 12 ounces sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 3 cups)
- 2 cups milk, 2% or whole, warmed
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and diced or crumbled
- Set a medium pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Stir in the macaroni and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In the meantime, set a large pot over medium heat. Melt butter. Use a whisk to stir in flour, whisking continuously until light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Continue to whisk while slowly and gradually adding broth. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Cook while whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, between 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat. Add grated cheddar, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until completely melted and smooth before adding more. Once all cheese has been incorporated and cheese sauce is smooth, stir in milk, cooked macaroni, Parmesan, tomato paste, mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately with diced bacon sprinkled on top.

Celebrities live lives with which most people are unfamiliar. Even their deepest, darkest, most personal secrets sometimes make their way into newspapers, online, or into the tabloids. On one hand the celebrity lifestyle is wonderful, but on the other side it can be highly invasive and upsetting for the celebrity in question. Which is why it shouldn't be surprising that there are many celebrities who kept diseases secret.
Once they're diagnosed with sometimes fatal diseases, the outpouring of false sentiment can be enough to turn even the most upbeat person cynical. There have been a great number of famous people with secret illnesses who only spoke about their disease once they were free and clear. Other celebrities who were secretly sick never spoke about their issues. Only after their passing do their friends and family tell the public about their affliction.
Which celebrities kept their diagnoses secret? Famous people including David Bowie, Cobie Smulders, and Freddie Mercury are below.
Brad Grey
Brad Grey was considered a giant in Hollywood. Grey, fomerly the chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures, had an eye for up-and-coming talent and greenlit some of the studio's biggest blockbuster successes – including Transformers. But he harbored a secret from most of his Hollywood pals – Grey was dying of cancer.
Grey died on May 14 from an undisclosed case of cancer, which shocked many of his friends. Friends and colleagues told the Los Angeles Times they had no idea he was sick, and the last time they saw him he was greeting guests at the Chateau Marmont.
Gene Wilder
In the wake of Gene Wilder's death, at the age of 83, on August 29, 2016, the comedian's family announced he had been privately suffering from Alzheimer's for three years before passing. According to a statement released by Jordan Walker-Pearlman, a nephew Wilder raised like a son:
The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn't vanity, but more so that the countless young children that would smile or call out to him 'there's Willy Wonka,' would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion. He simply couldn't bear the idea of one less smile in the world.

Podcast #33: The Story Of Italy Made Easy
This is a story that is very close to my heart. It's a story about you!... because if you are reading this, then you too are a part of Italy Made Easy, whether this is the first time you have been on our site or you have been with me from the beginning.
Let the story begin.

or podcast enabled device
In the year 2012, I was an Italian teacher at an Australian university, but also teaching groups and individuals privately, always for beginners. What I found was that I was always teaching the same thing at the beginning, the most important thing - pronunciation.
So I came up with a genius idea!
I decided to record a series of workshops in which I cover the basics of Italian pronunciation and I put them on Youtube to direct all new students to.
About two years later, I happened to go back on Youtube and I saw to my astonishment that those videos on pronunciation had over 100,000 views - not an easy feat by any means!
It was then that I decided to actually make my first real Italian course. On what? On pronunciation! This course was called Speak Italian Like an Italiano, which I sold on Udemy.
In 2015, I made my second course, this one for tourists and travellers to Italy, called Speak Italian From Day 1. This was such a huge success. This time I delivered it on my own website that I had created myself.
Due to the success of Speak Italian From Day 1, I decided to take the next step.
Then in 2017, I launched the program From Zero To Italian, a huge project designed to bring complete beginners to fluency.
From Zero to Italian has really been what has allowed the success of what we are doing at Italy Made easy for students like you. Thousands of students started with us in Beginner Italian Level 1 and are still with use right now in the Intermediate levels. They now have the ability to communicate, not perfectly of course, but to speak and interact in Italian, which is the most beautiful thing that I hope to gift to you as well.
The success of From Zero To Italian coincided with the incredible growth of our Youtube channel which now has over 100,000 subscribers and 12,000 students on the Academy.
And so the years have passed, and now here we are together. It's been a wonderful journey so far and I can't wait to continue this journey with you.
What about you? Are you a student of the Italy Made Easy Academy? If not, what are you waiting for?... because it's there where the real magic happens.

The Annual Orbost fishing competition has been running for more than 40 years and was once again well attended by Club members fishing from some 14 boats.
Friday was an interclub comp for the BMYS boys and whilst the fishing was a bit slow there were some good fish caught by those in the know. Vince Clarke managed a cracking 1.411KG Bream, John Roberts a Luderick of 1.589kg and Les Sabo the only lure caught fish being a tailor of .249KG
A very pleasant lunch was enjoyed at the slips on Friday with a few well-known locals calling in for a welcome catch up. Thanks to Tim Hipkin for the great steak and Col Elliot and Barry Stewart for helping out.
Saturday's forecast was for strong winds and the forecast was pretty well spot on. Some boats tried to fish the lake but by mid-morning the calmer settled waters of the upper Brody was host to most, if not all boats.
The fishing was hit and miss on the Saturday with the windy weather.
The Larry Fairless Memorial Perpetual Trophy was taken out by Mitchell Farley (from the Orbost Club) and the Larry Fairless Memorial Trophy for the mixed bag was won by Eddie Gray.
Phil Goodier was the recipient of a special award. Not all details have emerged but apparently his recognition included grounding his skipper's boat and displaying exquisite reversing skills.
Overall another great trip and we look forward to 2020.

It was only a matter of time before the internet produced a meme that turned out to contain the ultimate meaning of life, but for the uninitiated, consider this article a welcome to the wonderful world of 60-second paint-mixing videos.
Jewels pic.twitter.com/zoOfiDTimv— Paint Videos🎨 (@PaintVids) October 22, 2016
Each video begins with dollops of heterogenous paint, sometimes two shades, sometimes three or four, and by the end of each video, these separate colors will be mixed together, slowly, exquisitely, into one shade, without ever witnessing the hand that rocks the mixer. It seems ridiculous to say that these simple videos represent a new art form, a breakthrough in zen philosophy, a new manifestation of the tragedy and the triumph of universal life, but the paint-mixing videos are compulsively mesmerizing, and the experience of watching them somehow evokes both deep peace and deep unrest. What is it exactly that makes these videos so psychically stimulating? Paint-mixing videos probably fall under the same feel-good umbrella as the increasingly popular slow TV movement, or even ASMR sounds, but for people who are justifiably freaked out by the prospect of watching Swedish women crinkle candy wrappers while whispering incoherently, the paint is purified of human distraction. I've used them as a sleep aid, friends have used them as anxiety cures, even the Twitter pages of accounts that aggregate them call them "oddly soothing." But why odd? Are we watching the principle of quantum entanglement in action? The Taoist acceptance of elemental balance? The satisfaction that comes from sacrificing individualism for the sake of communal achievement? The dissatisfaction of achieving what was once believed to be one's purpose? The monotonous yet inescapable loss of identity that comes from merging with another figure once seen as unique?
Obsessed with this blue 🔵 pic.twitter.com/kFKFZLLvWK— Paint Mixtures (@PaintMixtures) October 28, 2016
The secrets of paint-mixing are vast and unknowable, but if you watch enough of these paint-mixing videos, there are certain tropes that start to emerge, some of which are more soothing or more distressing than others. As rose gold has become a marketing trend, so rose gold is a trend in paint-mixing — although so far it seems difficult for mixers to get the necessary balance between red and gold that will make the final color come out to the iPhone-appropriate hue. In fact, the final color in these videos is almost always deflating when taken as its own element, even when the videos aren't succumbing to the pressures of color fashion. There's an abstract eroticism to watching the unresolved mix that is eradicated by the time the colors blend together entirely. In the end, gone are the multiplicity of gradient shades that seem to be created and killed with each propulsive stroke of the palette knife, and often undertones of gray that weren't visible when the colors existed on their own seem to emerge as they come together. The final disappointment and the maybe subconscious rush to accept the middling final color might be why these videos are so compulsively consumable. To erase the momentary but lingering sadness of the final moment, the only thing left to do is move on to the next link in the Twitter feed and keep watching, forever reliving the same pleasures with minor adjustment.
Blue Kisses— Paint Videos🎨 (@PaintVids) October 31, 2016
(@Labedzki_Art) pic.twitter.com/9narg8AO6k
Sometimes there is a different tool used for the mixing. Usually it's a simple palette knife, but sometimes there's a tiny paint rake, sometimes it's a longer spatula, and after you fall into the rhythm of watching the videos, there is an incremental rush that comes from observing these teensy variations on the same theme. Is there a second or third color lying under the surface of what is immediately visible at the start of the video, which will be revealed only in the latter stages of the mix, a plot twist in 60 seconds? Will the mixer fluff the paint at the end of the video to ensure the color is entirely set, or will the mix stay smooth for its entirety? Will there be a filter applied to the video that distorts the image into waves or spirals? Will every scrap of individual color be captured by the relentless precision of the palette knife or will a single speck of color escape? If a color does escape, is the feeling produced by its survival one of relief or anxiety? So long as there's another video to watch, does it matter whether you feel miniature agony or miniature ecstasy? At the moment, PaintVids is still just a bubbling sensation with over 200,000 Twitter followers, but it's only a matter of time before the cult births a proper religion.

I'm working with Freightliner right now trying to maybe replace it with a jasper long block . only two places here in Oregon that I can find He didn't tell me how deep the scored was on the number five wholesale I really don't know but I don't understand why I can't be home in doubt like in a regular car engine I've done that before and put oversize pistons back in but then again I'm not a diesel expert
They're not willing to do that . It's at a Freightliner dealership right now and they said the only way that I can fix it is to put a remanufactured motor back in it from Cummins and I've checked here out here in Oregon I can't find anybody else to work on it
Cummins 5.9 number five cylinder scoredI been just told that I need a rebuilt engine (2003 Cummins 5.9 L). The coach is a 2004 Damon ultra sport with 49,000 miles on it. I had an appraised at $25,000 since the economy is bad right now but don't know what to do .is it worth replacing the engine or scrapping it or just letting it sit any ideas out there?
New scan guageI will look into that tomorrow thanks
New scan guageJust installed a new scan gauge on my 2004 5.9 Cummins diesel . While setting up the gauges I had a code which is 2003 15 127. I've cleared it 10 times now and it keeps coming back on every time I start the engine . The engine light never comes on . I can't find anything online I even called scan gauge and they said they didn't know anything about a 2003 code . Any help would be appreciated or should I just ignore it .
What would cause a turbo to go bad with about 46,000 miles on the engine ? I recently took my 2004 Damon with a 5.9 Cummins engine for service and for a check engine light . It came on after starting the engine and and stayed on for about a minute and then we'll go off . They told me that the turbo was only opening to 25% . Diesel engines aren't my specialty So I was wondering if there something I did ,lack of maintenance or just driving it wrong . I am the third owner and I've had it now for a year and a half and done all the maintenance since I've owned it . Didn't notice anything in performance going down the freeway was fine on flats going up a hill was slow but other than that the mileage seem to be OK just want any insight of what might happen thanks

Black holding tank leaks
craigc51 replied to craigc51's topic in Water and Holding TanksAfter taking off the top lid to all my tanks and lifting the board up .filled it full water and found the water leak coming out from the sewer vent pipe fitting where it enters the top of the tank . It's a spin in fitting luckily it's not polyethylene so I use epoxy on it. While I had everything apart I check all the other fittings to make sure they are all good. After plastic welding the freshwater tank and now repairing the black water tank I hope I don't have any more holding tank problems
Black holding tank leaks
craigc51 posted a topic in Water and Holding TanksI have a 2004 Damon 3465 model when I'm cleaning my black water tank I fill it to where it's full and then it starts to leak is there a breather on top of the tank . I've checked the top of the tank and there is no sewer vent that goes to the top of the roof only on the gray water it has a vent . Since I've owned it I've always smell sewer gas in the lower compartments . I filled the black tank with a hose in to the toilet and the water does not come up in the toilet when it's completely full that's when it starts leaking out from the black tank but I can't see where it's leaking at .
Pirelli Coach tires hits the USA
craigc51 replied to STANROLLINS's topic in TiresI would too
Richard I bought a harbor freight hot air plastic welder . I had enough material on the sensor that was spun weld into the tank to move some of the plastic around where it was leaking . If it leaks again I already ordered some more plastic rod which I didn't have to start with . The soldering iron one which is 80 W is probably the best to start with you can smooth out any rough spots and holds the welding plastic rod I now feel confident that any repairs on freshwater tanks are holding tanks that I can repair now knowing that these tools can do the job One important thing On buying a hot air welder from Harbor freight read the instructions if not you'll burn it up. When done turn the heat down to zero and let the blower run for three or four minutes . There are a lot more welders out there for sale the skies the limit on price but for what I have to do and hopefully only needed maybe once it was a good buy. Thanks to all who respond this is one of the reasons why I joined
Where after checking everything online to what I can use I went to Harbor freight and bought a plastic welder and weld around the outside of the sensor which is also polyethylene with the metal sensor in the center . I figured if I did any damage on it I could take it up to Coburg Oregon . there's a shop that spin welds fittings and sensors onto a new tank he also told me that welding it is the fastest and easiest way . So far so good on the welding no leaks at least I have an option if it does leak I can replace the tank .
Leaking sensor on freshwater tank
craigc51 posted a topic in Water and Holding TanksI have a small leak on one of the sensors on my freshwater tank and looking for a solution to stop the leak is there any sealant epoxy or any other fix without taking the tank out and replacing it . My understanding is that the sensors are spun in which heat up and bond to the tank
Thanks to all who responded. I finally found out there's a small bleed screw on the bottom of the unit. You don't have to remove it all the way to drain the coolant . there's also a petcock right above the engine oil filter to drain coolant out of the motor
2004 Damon ultra sport 3465LE . As for the generator Generac 7.5 is all I can read I can't find the id plate

Two guard dogs "protecting" an air conditioning company were so diseased and malnourished that police and deputies confiscated them Wednesday morning and charged the owner with cruelty.
With protruding bones and missing hair on both dogs, and open, bloody sores and infections on one of the dogs, someone "would be more afraid of disease" than of being attacked by the guard dogs, police spokeswoman Sandra King said.
"It was alarming. I didn't want to touch" the most sickly of the pair, a Doberman pinscher, King said.
AAA Advanced Air Inc. rented the dogs from a Pompano Beach guard dog company, K-9 Command Dogs, which was supposed to feed, walk and care for them, King said.
K-9 owner Gene Penella was arrested and charged with one count of cruelty to animals on Wednesday. He may be charged with a second count, depending on the condition of the second dog, a German shepherd mix, Broward Sheriff's Detective John Murray said.
Penella's mother-in-law said the Doberman was in the same poor condition when Penella rescued it from the side of a roadway years ago.
Carr said Penella thinks a competitor called police to ruin his business, which lost customers on Wednesday after word got out about the dogs.
"When we got there, [the Doberman) didn't even stand up in its cage," which contained a bucket of water but no food, King said. The shepherd mix began barking and wagging its tail when Penella arrived.
"I think there's no doubt the dogs were fed every day," Detective Murray said.
But because of the dogs' health, they weren't eating right or weren't properly digesting the food, Murray said.
The dogs were being treated Wednesday by Hollywood veterinarian Raymond Lundberg, who found them malnourished, neglected and anemic.
"They've probably been out being eaten up by fleas and flies," Lundberg said. "With a lot of TLC and some groceries and medicine, they're probably salvageable."
During the day, the dogs were confined to a cage on the air conditioning company's property at 1920 NW 32nd St. King said the cage often flooded when it rained. At night, the dogs would be let out to patrol the company's fenced compound.

Influencer Chriselle Lim is more than just a fashionable face on social media. The designer has turned her following into an apparel brand business, Chriselle Lim collection, that launched last September at Nordstrom. The collection was made available at 40 Nordstrom points of sale in addition to nordstrom.com. Now, the super influencer will be adding Bloomingdale's and ShopBop as retail partners come March 21. The news was first reported by WWD.
"[Nordstrom is] one of the best retailers out there, but I felt like I was ready to expand the collection and to get it into more hands," said Lim to WWD. "Nordstrom isn't everywhere — they're not in New York. I have a ton of New York followers that have been asking and dying for [the collection], so Bloomingdale's felt like the right fit. Our international customers, as well, are dying to get the collection and I believe that Shopbop has a great international shopping [experience]. I felt we were ready to expand."
The new spring collection includes 28 stock keep units, in addition to a large offering of dresses due to demand from Lim's followers. For Bloomingdale's, the collection will be carried both online at bloomingdales.com and at select brick-and-mortar locations including 59th Street, SoHo, Roosevelt Field, Short Hills, and Century City in Los Angeles.
Lim's Instagram followers clock in at an impressive 1.1 million in total, putting her in the mega influencer category. With 86 percent of marketers using influencer marketing in 2017 according to a study by Linqia, Lim's ability to brand herself into an entire business enterprise doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. With three retailers now under her belt, more prospective ones could follow.photo: via thechrisellefactor.com

Not "Top 5," not "5 Worst." Just some games that I played, and have opinions on.
Since I started writing this list in December it's been through several permutations. The truth is, there were so many interesting games that did so many different things in 2014 that any list I've read says far more about the lister than about the games themselves. It's in this spirit that I present my year of gaming in 2014, trimmed to a neat listicle format. If anyone wants to know what games were "important," well your humble writer here can only guess (Destiny, probably?). I haven't pit these games against each other in some Battle Royale to determine winners and losers. Games are complicated, and so are our feelings on them. Since I don't often enough reflect on the games I've played, this is probably more for my own benefit than yours. Nevertheless, let's get started!
Fantasy Life
This game almost snuck by me. For a collaboration between some of the biggest names in JRPGs, it seemed to generate hardly a fraction of the buzz I felt it deserved. Part of this is probably by design. Despite its typical world-saving narrative, Fantasy Life is not a game of grand ambitions. It's a game of minor pleasures.
Unfortunately, time has dulled what was first a whirlwind love-affair with this game. I could blame my ever-expanding backlog and short attention span, or I could blame the game's overly-grindy back end. The cause probably lies somewhere between, but don't let that turn you off. For a solid 40-plus hours this game brought nothing but big smiles to my face, and though I no longer play it in marathon sessions, my occasional jaunts into Reveria have yet to lose their magic.
While Fantasy Life tasks you with solving the JRPG-standard world-threatening magical crisis, you will probably not remember the specifics (I didn't. Something about meteors?). Like Animal Crossing, the game is strongest when it lets its quirky characters shine.
Developers Level-5 have always been among the best in the business when it comes to localization, and Fantasy Life is quite possibly their finest work to date. The game is practically bursting at the seams with hilarious and well-written characters. No matter which "Life" (the game's take on RPG classes) you choose to start, you'll inevitably meet all kinds of lovable and idiosyncratic NPCs, most of whom can be recruited into your party. Tonally it's closer to their wonderfully charming and silly Dragon Quest games than their more recent epic, Studio Ghibli-flavored Ni No Kuni, but while Dragon Quest was a JRPG through-and-through, Fantasy Life is both simpler and more difficult to quantify. In gameplay it's a bit like last year's Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, only with stronger action-RPG elements in the mix. It's structured like the best kind of open-world game; a series of escalating challenges and areas that can be explored multiple times for different purposes. And while the end-game content (unfortunately added as paid DLC) is disappointing in the sense that it essentially requires you to master a wide range of Lives that you may not be interested in, it cannot retroactively harm the wonderful time I had playing through its story and living my fantasy.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Being a budget-conscious gamer, it's rare that I'll succumb to preordering. Rarer still that I'll take that leap with something I'm not 100% confident on. But some spirit possessed me to preorder this game over what seemed at the time like a much surer bet (Civilization: Beyond Earth, released on the same day) and thank Gandalf for that, because Shadow of Mordor turned out to be everything I could ask for from an open-world action game and then some.
Pre-release expectations among critics seemed medium-to-low, as far as I could tell. The Nemesis System got some lip service, but the question remained how well it would work in-practice; could this really add something fresh to the ol' shooty-stabby formula? If all we're in for is Mordor's Creed: Shadow of Arkham, then one might be forgiven for thinking that no amount of fancy behind-the-scenes procedural generation could elevate it to something interesting and remarkable. But interesting and remarkable it was. And most importantly of all, terrific fun. How they do dat?
Shadow of Mordor has perhaps 1/10th the "bullet point features" of the Creed or Arkham games. There are no homesteads to build up; no riddles to solve; no full-featured minigames or competitive multiplayer. In Mordor, there is Talion, and there are nasty orcs (or uruk, take your pick). Your relationship to them is the whale's relationship to plankton. They are as much "the enemy" as they are a force of nature. You cannot "clear" their strongholds. You will never simply walk into Mordor, free of their presence. No matter how many hundreds you slay, turning a corner will only reveal more, charging to their grisly deaths. It is this bleak environment where Mordor's single-minded devotion to the mechanics of violence and power pays off big time.
The term "power fantasy" is often leveled as a criticism against certain kinds of brain-dead action games, but it is also a very useful descriptor for a specific kind of pleasure that games can offer. There is more to a good power fantasy than simply making the player feel powerful; otherwise, any game that's easy to play would provide it. The best kinds of power fantasy offer a delicate balance of risk and reward; failure and triumph. If a game can make both victory and loss meaningful, then the act of playing it well creates the fantasy of ultimate confidence and, well, power. It's a fine line to walk, and its exact location is rarely the same for two players, but for my money, Mordor positively nailed that sweet spot for its entire duration. The game's downright-myopic focus on the mechanics of orc-murder ended up serving it tremendously well; I don't boot up this game to find collectables (although I picked up many in the course of my travels) nor to help NPCs (the game offers them too). My focus is forever and always on killing (and eventually, enslaving) the orcs of Mordor. The game gets tremendous mileage out of its core mechanics, each of which felt honed to a sharp edge. The satisfying thunk of arrows into skulls; the caragor tearing a path through a group of enemies; the deep and rich brawling system; the layouts of the strongholds and their many options for traversal; and most of all, the colorful and unique enemies with whom I inevitably clash.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch
My love for puns all but guaranteed I'd end up buying this game, and my love for slapstick all but guaranteed I'd enjoy it. What surprised me was how enduringly fun the experience has been over the last year. Octodad has become my go-to game to show people who may or may not be gamers for a couple reasons: one, because it's at its funniest when inexperienced players are struggling to figure out the controls, and two, because anyone who's unmoved by the antics of a human-impersonating cephalopod navigating family life just might not be worth staying friends with. Harsh, but truth.
Octodad succeeds by making the frustrating and obtuse nature of the controls a consistent and organic source of humor. However unlike mechanically-similar "fumblecore" (bleh) games such as QWOP and Surgeon Simulator, Octodad apes the presentation of a Pixar film (...well, okay, maybe a Dreamworks film), opting for a bright, cartoony world full of outsized caricatures and hilarious gags. Aside from simply fleshing out the titular dad's story and world, this also adds a certain depth to the mechanics. While Surgeon Simulator and QWOP both feel like arbitrary and gleefully preposterous interpretations of real life, Octodad presents a whole Looney Tunes universe where the clumsy controls are merely a small part of the bigger absurdist picture. In a world where an octopus can maintain a human impersonation long enough to father children (!!!), his comparative lack of fine motor skills is entirely reasonable.
At a length that doesn't overstay its welcome, and with some consistently inventive level design, Octodad was a pure delight for me to play throughout. I see that same feeling light up my friends' faces whenever I thrust a controller in their hands and tell them "you've got to play this."
Most importantly, the award for Special Achievement in Theme Songs goes to... [drumroll] Ian McKinney!
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
When this game came out for consoles I was thoroughly uninterested. At the time I was on the outs with the Metal Gear series as a whole, and the criticisms of its short runtime and small map seemed both widespread and fully justified. Honestly, they still do. The difference is that, after playing it, those complaints don't bother me a bit. They are so outweighed by the game's successes I only mention them as an afterthought.
I've been a fan of the series since Metal Gear Solid blew me away on the PlayStation. The weekend I rented it was a whole heap of notable "firsts" bundled into one amazing experience. It was my first stealth game, introducing me to the joys of snapping necks and patiently waiting in ducts. It was the first game that I beat because I truly cared about the story and characters, not because I'd simply become good enough at playing it to reach the end. It was the first game that I finished and immediately booted up again, this time consulting the internet to plumb its secrets. In 1998 it felt like I'd looked into the future of gaming, and it was so very good.
Yet somehow, a few years later my PlayStation was collecting cobwebs in a box, and I was no longer gaming at all. I missed the subsequent Metal Gear games; Sons of Liberty's fake-out protagonist and gonzo conspiracy theory sci-fi, Snake Eater's anime-esque take on the Vietnam war, they both simply passed me by unnoticed. When I finally got a PlayStation 3 Guns of the Patriots was one of my first purchases, and yet I abandoned playing it several cutscenes in, utterly confused by its story and unengaged by its mechanics. It would seem like me and Metal Gear were through. But when Ground Zeroes popped up on a Steam sale, my curiosity won out, and before I knew it I felt as if I'd never left Hideo Kojima's wonderfully insane embrace.
Ground Zeroes adds some much-needed gameplay tweaks, such as improved movement and animation for Snake, the ability to tag enemies with your binoculars á la Far Cry, a bullet-time-esque feature to allow for quick takedowns before an alarm is raised, and a simple new visual and audio indicator for the enemy's awareness (though fans of this won't be disappointed). These changes may sound like Kojima has simply stolen features from other successful games and bolted them on to his own, but I cannot overstate how much they've added to the gameplay experience. When playing Snake Eater on the HD rerelease I struggled constantly with being spotted by enemies I'd not noticed, or in cover that seemed like it should've hidden me. Raising an alarm without even knowing what mistake you've made is supremely frustrating in a game based on stealth mechanics. The new gameplay features in Ground Zeroes improved player feedback, while also keeping the core values of the series intact. Like the best stealth games, it gives us a system begging to be poked, prodded, and experimented with. Unlike some other Metal Gear games, it actually makes this process of discovery fun instead of infuriating.
As for the size of Camp Omega, when trying to come to grips with the gameplay, I actually found it a blessing. Your first playthrough will introduce you to all the base's main locations and teach you basic strategies for moving through them. Subsequent playthroughs of side-op missions had me flat-out ignoring my mini-map except to check for objectives and secrets, content to rely on my eyes and memory for the rest. The size of the compound works perfectly for me; varied enough to offer dozens (hundreds?) of interesting angles and approaches, yet small enough to be understood spatially without need for constant map-checking. And for the $13 I paid (sale price), the hours of pure fun I had made it feel like a bargain.
So yes, it's true that the main mission essentially amounts to two tasks, and it's true that you could fit perhaps a hundred Camp Omegas in one Los Santos. It's also true that some gamers may have felt misled by its price tag (at $40 I would have too). But from my perspective, the game more than makes up for its shortcomings with excellent stealth design, top-notch production, and the kind of macho-ludicrous story that Metal Gear tells best.
Crusader Kings II - Way of Life Expansion
Although Crusader Kings II was first released nearly three years ago, the good folks at Paradox Interactive have remained hard at work since then, and that's not even taking into account the other excellent games they've put out. In 2014 alone they released no less than three major game-enhancing expansions for Crusader Kings II. When one considers the six previous expansions, along with a base game that will provide hundreds (thousands??) of hours of replay value, you end up with one of the most interesting and deep gameplay experiences available anywhere, albeit one that requires no small commitment from the player to fully appreciate. The reason I want to talk about Way of Life specifically is that, in some ways, it feels like the game Paradox should have made in the first place.
Other expansions have broadened Crusader Kings' scope to an almost absurd degree; what once was a fully interactive 400 year history of the major historical players in Europe has ballooned to over 700 years, spanning from Greenland to Tibet. Each expansion added a significant new wrinkle to the core mechanics; The Old Gods gave us viking factions with the ability to pillage, The Sunset Invasion posited an alternate history where the Aztec empire challenged Europe, Rajas of India introduced Hinduism, Sons of Abraham Judaism, etcetera. This is not "DLC;" these are expansions in the truest sense of the word.
Bucking this trend, Way of Life doesn't introduce any new factions to play as, nor lands to reign over. What it does instead is crystallize many aspects of the core gameplay that drew me in to the game in the first place. For a new player struggling with the game's incredibly dry interface and language, The Way of Life just might mean the difference between becoming a fanatic like me or consigning it to the darkest pits of the backlog.
In the simplest terms, Crusader Kings II is a marriage between strategy and role-playing game set in the real world, and with a strong emphasis on actual history and politics. While the elements may sound familiar (and, honestly, a little boring), it's really a very unique game. Unlike most pure RPGs, your decisions will always have wide-reaching and difficult-to-quantify effects (eat your heart out Bioware). Unlike pure strategy games, you are no faceless omnipotent deity, but rather a series of interesting and often flawed human beings whose fortunes will rise and fall.
What Way of Life does is enhance the basic game's RPG elements, turning it into something more familiar to most gamers, while also reducing the downtime between major events. You are now allowed to select a "Focus" for your main character, not unlike an RPG class, which will often open up new narratives outside of the major world-shaping events you normally participate in. In essence, it gives you an easier opportunity to latch on to your character's story, thus making all the other decisions more impactful.
Now I should make clear, Way of Life is no total-game conversion. If you gave Crusader Kings a chance and found that it wasn't for you, then this expansion is very unlikely to change that. You are still required to understand and apply concepts like de jure and Agnatic primogeniture. The story still unfolds via pop-up text boxes and obtuse-seeming data points. Way of Life simply offers a gentler introduction to the game's fascinating systems. The options it opens up will help you get on the game's odd wavelength, and if you're like me, you'll find it's an awesome place to be.
...On to 2015!
This is hardly a full picture of my year in gaming. I'd love to talk about Jazzpunk, but my thoughts can also be summed up with: "Hilarious. Play it." By necessity this list also leaves out many interesting, older games I played this year, such as Fire Emblem: Awakening for the 3DS or Rogue Galaxy for the ps2, not to mention the games I loved but didn't complete yet, such as Endless Legend or Dark Souls (yes, the first Dark Souls... This stuff takes me a while!). My thoughts on some games are too long and involved for the "year end list" format (hello Spacebase DF-9), so I hope to write more about them soon... But for the time being, my plan is to bask in last year's bounty, reflecting on all the good times and bad. Thanks for reading, and happy gaming!

With a 1940's jazz feel, Kita Klane's voice and coinciding band pay homage to a time when music was sexier and black tie affairs were more popular. Clubs were classier, and people respected each other more. Things costed less, yet people appreciated more. Kita's music brings us back to that glorious time—the "good ol' days."
Mint Royale's take on Kita's recent release, "Running Circles", brings us back to the modern day. Maintaining that sultry vibe with minimally processed vocals and salty hi-hats, the Manchester-based artist (previously duo) appropriately adds gritty bass and deep house percussion for a more current feel. Royale's remix can be considered playable in popular downtown bars and artsy underground clubs, or simply hanging in and taking it easy after a long day.

We work with clients throughout the United States,
Canada, and Europe. See what some of them have to say
about our restoration services.
Ms. Jolantas restoration work is of the highest quality. She painstakingly restored a family porcelain heirloom that had been very badly damaged in recent times and very badly restored by a previous person in the past. The restored piece reflects equal attributes of Ms. Jolantas professional artistry and artisanship. I highly recommend Ms. Jolanta Stenson for any restoration task, especially those that require extensive work, care, and precision.
Thomas J. Hess
Doral, FL
The restoration of the Burmese wood statue looks amazing. I bought her in Thailand at an antique gallery and she arrived with the broken arm and other damage. You restored her to even been shape than when I purchased her. Thank you so much for the great work Jolanta! If I have future restoration needed, I will be sure to contact you.
Joe W. Easton

Jolanta restored our damaged LLadro perfectly in a very timely manner. It is now impossible to see where the break had been. She is a talented artist and I highly recommend her restoration and repair service.

£120 www.dofe.org/shopping/dofe-expedition-kit-list/
This rucksack to me seems like a monster, a huge 70 litres! Of course, this is exactly what you need for the DofE to pack everything in. It's designed around two alloy bars and a back system which seemed complex at first but is designed to be adjusted with one hand whilst you've got the rucksack on… thereby allowing you to alter the length to comfortable fit, depending on your height, the weight of the bag. Once adjusted properly, the pack felt well-balanced and not too weighty on the shoulders. The shoulder straps are well padded – which does help – as does the substantial hipbelt. The latter has a zipped pocket big enough for a smartphone. The main compartment is cavernous and has an expandable gaiter for even more storage. The lid itself has two zipped pockets – one above and inside. An inner sleeve provides compatibility with a hydration system. If not, two fabric side pockets are perfect for water bottles and there's a pocket at the front too – the design of which does make it easily forgotten about. The raincover is stored away in a pocket at the bottom of the pack and walking poles can be attached too.
►Verdict: A cavernous, comfy pack which swallows everything you need.
►Best for: Multi-day wild camping expeditions.
