Radiator fans help keep your car's engine's temperature in check. that's why you should also keep the Fan Motor in check. The fan forces air in the car's radiator to cool down the engine coolant. Fans, like every other part in our car, wear out over time. This makes the fan that cools the radiator less efficient. Worse, the fan can fail and cause the coolant to heat up faster, leading to engine overheating. Keep your car's engine running at ideal temperature levels and get the most out of every drop of fuel by getting a new Fan Motor. Made of high-quality materials with superior craftsmanship, this motor is made to replace existing unit in your car. Keep coolant temperature in the engine and radiator in check. Keep your car running cool and protect the engine from damage brought about by extreme high temperatures.

Finding the Right Fan Motor for Your Vehicle
Excessive heat can strike a death blow to your vehicle. If you've ever encountered this problem, you will know the grave repercussions it could do to your engine's metal parts. Radiators are sometimes not enough to counter extreme engine temperature, so most vehicles today are built with cooling fans that help bring the heat down several notches. At the core of these fans is a motor that enables the fan blades to spin rapidly so that more air can be delivered to the radiator. A fan motor is switched on when the radiator's coolant temperature has risen to about 195 to 210 degrees. The engine will malfunction at this heat level, so the fan motor activates the blades and keeps them turning to help lower the temperature.
Types of fan motors
As fan motors greatly aid in engine cooling, it is then important to find the right type for your vehicle. Usually, these motors differ in phases and starting capacities. There are three major classifications of fan motors:
- Single-Phase
- Slit-Phase
- Capacitator-Start
This type of motor is commonly used for smaller fans with alternating current (AC) power. It is both energy- and cost-efficient, as it only needs minimal electricity to operate. Single-phase motors are highly durable and can be used for a long period of time, helping you save money on replacements. In addition to that, you can also convert these easily into different phases. However, single-phase motors can't operate on larger fans. Converting them will only cost you more money, so it's much better to buy a larger motor.
Also called as double-phase motors, this type is used on bigger fans and heavy-duty applications. Of course, this means more power will be delivered to your fan, but slit-phase motors require a greater amount of electricity to operate, making them less cost-efficient than single-phase ones. The upside is they're built with an automatic shut-off to prevent them from burning out even under the increased strain of heavy loads. As the motor is less likely to malfunction, replacing it every so often is not really necessary. This means more savings for you.
Capacitator-start is the most cost-efficient motor among all three, as it delivers higher torque while using lesser electricity than slit-phase. With more power, this type of motor can handle greater workload and increased strain. It also has a safety shut-off feature that closes down the unit upon reaching 75% of its load capacity, preventing it from burning out and giving you additional expense for replacement.
Fan motor replacement cost
You can get a standard fan motor for as low as $50. Price can go up to $250, depending on the brand and materials used. To get more savings, purchase a complete fan motor assembly instead of buying the part individually. This way, you can install the part yourself and ensure that all components will work well together. Fan motor assemblies are priced at $100 and up.

Beat the Heat: Fan Motor Replacement
A fan motor draws in more air to the radiator to prevent your engine from overheating. Excessive engine temperature may cause some of the metal parts in your vehicle to break down, and this can lead to costly repair charges. Replace a faulty fan motor right away before it causes engine failure.
Here are the tools you need and the steps to follow in replacing a damaged fan motor:
Difficulty level: Moderate
Tools that you'll need:
- Socket wrench
- Flat-head screwdriver
Step 1: Remove the air intake box, the radiator housing, and other parts that prevent you from reaching the fan motor assembly.
Step 2: Disengage the lead wire linked to the fan motor. Locate the connecter at the end and use a flat-head screwdriver to disconnect it.
Step 3: Remove the bolts holding the fan motor assembly in place using a socket wrench. Once you have the bolts taken out, carefully extract the fan motor assembly and housing from the engine bay. Move wires and hoses out of the way so that you can detach it more easily.
Step 4: Take off the nuts and pins securing the fan blade and detach it from the drive rod. Next, remove fan motor from the housing. Use a socket wrench to remove the nuts securing the fan motor.
Step 5: Position the new fan motor into the assembly and bolt it in place. Put back the fan blade on the drive rod and reattach the nuts you removed earlier to secure the part.
Step 6: Reconnect the fan motor assembly back into the engine using bolts and snaps. Make sure everything is in place and tightly secured first to prevent looseness. Lastly, connect the motor's wire to the fan body and run the engine to test the new fan motor.
Safety tip:
Disconnect the car's battery first and let the engine cool for about half an hour before doing the replacement.

Celebrating Kwanzaa
In 1966, Maulana Karenga wanted to restore cultural traditions to the African American people and created a the winter holiday called Kwanzaa. Now celebrated by more than 18 million people in the United States alone, Kwanzaa, which means "fresh fruits" in the African language of Kiswahili, has become an integral part of the holiday season.
The holiday, which commemorates traditional African harvest festivals, celebrates the seven principles of Kwanzaa. These key elements of Kwanzaa can be appreciated by people of all faiths and cultures: unity, self-determination, working together, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Small gifts, usually homemade, are given each day through the holiday, with the final festival being held on New Year's Day.
Take this opportunity to teach your family about Kwanzaa with these fun activities for children of all ages.
A Special Placemat
No matter your cultural or religious background, this is indeed the season to have fun and decorate your home in festive colors and ornaments. You can celebrate Kwanzaa by weaving a special placemat, or a mkeba, to be used at your holiday table.
Take a sheet of black construction paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Using chalk, draw horizontal one-inch lines from the fold to within one inch of each edge. With the paper folded in half, cut on these lines, but be sure not to cut all the way to either edge. Next, cut several one-inch wide, horizontal strips of red and green construction paper. Weave these strips through your black piece of construction paper, alternating the two colors. For added holiday flair, stick holiday stickers on the front of the finished placemat. You can also cover the placemat with clear contact or adhesive paper, or have it laminated, durability and easy clean up.

Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC focuses on helping patients with chronic health challenges who are not responding to traditional medical treatments Read More
Pain is the most prominent symptom of Fibromyalgia. It usually affects the entire body, although it may start in one area, such as the neck and shoulders, and spread to other areas over a period of time. Fibromyalgia is a form of generalized muscular pain and fatigue. The name, Fibromyalgia, means pain in the muscles and the fibrous connective tissues (the ligaments and tendons).
You (or someone you know) may be experiencing moderate or severe fatigue with a lack of energy, decreased exercise endurance, or the kind of exhaustion that results from the flu or lack of sleep. Sometimes the fatigue is more of a problem than the pain. Headaches, especially tension and migraine headaches, are common in Fibromyalgia. Abdominal pain, bloating, alternating constipation, bladder spasms, and irritability may cause urinary urgency or frequency. Your skin and blood circulation can be sensitive to temperature changes, resulting in temporary changes in skin color.
Have you suffered with fibromyalgia for a few months, a few years, or too many years to mention? Some may suffer only minor symptoms, while others (perhaps you or a loved one) feel the debilitating affects of Fibromyalgia and are kept from participating in their life, making even simple daily activities almost impossible.
Throughout my years in practice I have tried the full range of therapies and treatments available to me, with minimal improvement. I knew there had to be more, a method of treatment that could help them (and you!). I began searching to find the answer….and then….I found it. The answer to helping most Fibromyalgia symptoms: Johnson Brain-Based Therapy, combined with metabolic testing and treatement. The term I give these combined treatments is Johnson Neuro-Metabolic Therapy.
Johnson Neuro-Metabolic Therapy is the newest, state of the art diagnostic and treatment technique. It brings together research findings from the fields of psychology, neuropsychiatry, neurology, neurophysiology, and nutrition — and uses this knowledge to bring hope to the sick, unhappy, and hurting of all ages…and we have finally been able to help people with Fibromyalgia and many other chronic symptoms.
Is It Really That Simple?
Yes, for most people the answer is really that simple: Johnson Brain Based Rehabilitation.
How Does This Work?
You are most likely starting to wonder "What is the treatment going to be like?". I can tell you from personal experience and from watching patients and staff participate in the treatments, that they are beneficial and enjoyable.
Treatments can include one-sided adjustments, simple exercise, eye exercises, heat and other activities, all while on oxygen. These techniques coupled with a full neurological and nutritional workup have enabled us to help most of our patients to get rid of their chronic symptoms no matter how long they have been experiencing them. For more details see the Johnson BBT page.
Imagine how different your life would be if you were free from the burdens that your fibromyalgia causes you. Check out the video and audio testimonials - real people getting real results resulting in a new lease on life.
No matter what the condition, it is imperative that a thorough functional neurological exam is completed to determine the exact neurological nature of your condition.

daydreems asked:
Would like to know how to make chrystal clear ice at home if it is posible at all! Checked few videos on youtube and tryed as it tells but failed:((( maybe You can help;) thanx;))) a lot;))) and grat blog by the way!!!
daydreems asked:
Thank you! Contrary to popular belief, freezing clear ice at home is not that difficult. In a nut shell you need to freeze it in one direction and at a slow pace (turn your freezer up). By freezing it in one direction you push the air bubbles down (or out) of your ice - clinebell machines do this on an industrial level. By freezing your ice slow with a higher temperature you give the ice crystals proper time to form resulting in crystal clear ice. You can simply do this buy buying a ice cooler and popping it in your freezer with water. Camper English pioneered this technique, you can read about it on his blog here: http://www.alcademics.com/2009/12/clear-ice-blocks-at-home-in-an-igloo-cooler.html. There's more to it than that but that's the basics - you can learn more on Camper English's blog and in Kevin Liu's "Craft Cocktails at Home" book. Cheers!

Neil Diamond
Neil Diamond - 02 Arena
21st & 23rd June 2008 - 02 ARENA
Neil Leslie Diamond (born January 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actor.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, Diamond was one of the more successful pop music performers, scoring a number of hits in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. As critic William Ruhlmann writes, "as of 2001, he claimed worldwide record sales of 115 million copies, and as of 2002 he was ranked third, behind only Elton John and Barbra Streisand, on the list of the most successful adult contemporary artists in the history of the Billboard chart." As of May 2005 he has sold 120 million records worldwide, including 48 million records in the U.S.
Though his record sales declined somewhat after the 1980s, Diamond continues to tour successfully, and maintains a very loyal following. Diamond's songs have been recorded by a vast array of performers from many different musical genres.
Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, and then in 2000 was given its Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. He has been eligible for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame since 1989, but has thus far been ignored.
The 1990s and 2000s saw a resurgence in Diamond's popularity. His song "America" was a theme song for Michael Dukakis's 1988 Presidential campaign, and later used in promotional advertisements for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. "Sweet Caroline" is a popular sing-along at sporting events, most notably being the theme song for the Red Sox Nation (even thought Neil Diamond frequently describes himself as a life long "Yankee fan" during concerts) and at Boston College Football and Basketball games; is sung during the 8th inning of every Mets home game at Shea Stadium, and Washington Nationals games.
The New York Rangers also have adopted it as their own and play in when they are winning at the end of the 3rd period. Urge Overkill recorded a memorable version of Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" for Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, released in 1994. In the 2001 comedy film Saving Silverman the main characters play in a Neil Diamond cover band, and Diamond made an extended cameo appearance as himself. During this period, Will Ferrell did a recurring impersonation of Neil on Saturday Night Live, with Diamond himself appearing alongside Ferrell on his final show as a Not Ready For Prime Time Player in May 2002.
The Finnish band HIM covered "Solitary Man" on their album And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997-2004. Other notable artists who have covered Neil Diamond songs are Elvis Presley, who interpreted "Sweet Caroline" and "And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind," the musical team Deep Purple, which interpreted "Kentucky Woman," Lulu, who covered "The Boat That I Row," Cliff Richard, who released versions of "I'll Come Running," "Solitary Man" "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" and "I Got The Feelin' (Oh No, No,)" UB40, whose version of "Red Red Wine", like the Monkees's version of "I'm a Believer", became, as previously noted, better known than Diamond's original, and T. G. Sheppard and Johnny Cash, who each covered "Solitary Man." Despite Diamond's Jewish faith, he he has released a number of Christmas albums.

What Color Is Your Diet?
What Color Is Your Diet? is a diet for health, especially cancer prevention. It's not specifically a weight-loss diet. But as it warns against sugars and fats, promotes exercise, and encourages sensible portions of healthy foods, a person following the diet would eventually lose excess weight.
What Color Is Your Diet? author David Heber, MD, PhD, is no lightweight in terms of academic credentials. He's the founding director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition.
If its natural color is intense, it's on the menu. We're talking red tomatoes here, not red meat. The basic idea is to eat a lot of different vegetables and fruits -- about a pound a day.
On the menu:
Off the menu:
The idea is that colors don't just make food pretty. They are there because specific nutrients have specific colors. The deeper the color of a food, the more of that kind of nutrient it has.
Here's the basic rundown of Heber's "Color Code" system:
Red. These foods are rich in lycopene, which reduces cancer risk. Examples: tomatoes, watermelons, and pink grapefruit. Red/Purple. Grapes, red wine, blueberries, strawberries, and red apples Orange. These foods contain alpha- and beta-carotenes, thought to improve cell-to-cell communication and slow cancer. Examples: carrots, mangoes, winter squash, and sweet potatoes. Orange/Yellow. These foods contain vitamin C, which protects cells, and beta-cryptoxanthin, one of the many carotenoid compounds that Heber recommends. Examples: oranges, tangerines, papayas, and nectarines. Yellow/Green. These foods are rich sources of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which contribute to eye health. Examples: spinach and other greens, yellow corn, green peas, and avocados. Green. These foods contain sulforaphane, isothiocyanate, and indoles, which Heber says stimulate liver genes to make compounds that break down cancer-causing chemicals. Examples: broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, bok choi, and kale. White/Green. These foods contain flavonoids that protect cell membranes. Examples: onions, garlic, celery, pears, white whine, endive, and chives.
"When it comes to diet, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts," David R. Jacobs, PhD, professor of epidemiology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told WebMD in a 2001 interview. "There may be nutrients in food that we don't even know about yet, and the effect of different nutrients working together may be better than each one working alone."
Heber is a respected researcher. A wide range of nutritionists endorse his recommendation that people eat a lot of different vegetables and fruits.
Eating too much of anything -- even colorful vegetables -- is not healthy eating. But most Americans won't have trouble eating with eating too much of these healthy foods. Note that Heber forbids drenching these foods in butter or margarine, preferring modest amounts of olive oil or avocado oil instead.
For those intimidated by eating five to nine portions of vegetables and fruits a day, try starting slow. Add some bananas and strawberries to your breakfast oatmeal. Opt for a colorful salad as a side dish instead of potatoes or pasta. And speaking of salads, start with deep green and/or red lettuces and use your imagination to add colorful items such as grapes, berries, and orange slices.

I went on the internet go get recipes for Mesquite Bean Jelly. The beans have to have an amber color so I have to wait awhile. Then you have to boil about 1/2 bushel of beans to make the juice, throw away the beans and use the liquid, Then you add the sugar and Sure Jell. Sounds like a lot of trouble. I tried to find some to taste on the internet. Some people have the jars for sale, but a 8 oz. jar cost $5 to $7 each, then you have to pay for shipping and a little jar winds up costing you about $12. I don't think so. I called Whole Foods in San Antonio at the Quarry and they never even hears of the jelly. I don't want to make it if it doesn't taste that good! Too bad. I would love to have written how delicious it is!

Fuji Roubaix 1.0 LE Road Bike - 2014 Performance ExclusiveThere's a simple reason why the Fuji Roubaix continues to be one of the best-selling bikes in the industry: it works. Like the old saying, "If it ain't broke, why fix it", the Roubaix stays true to its classic heritage while accommodating the best of modern day technology. The 2014 Fuji Roubaix 1.0 LE road bike is one part what Fuji wants you to have and one part what we know you should have. The LE, which is an abbreviation for Limited Edition, is a collaboration between Fuji and Performance Bicycle, in order to give you a superb bike with an excellent spec. It features a race-ready frame, with stellar Shimano and Oval Concepts components, a custom paint job, and is available exclusively at Performance.
The Fuji Roubaix is designed with more aggressive race geometry to improve critical aerodynamics for maximum speed, and meet the end goal of elevating your performance. Fuji uses their proprietary A2-SL custom hydroformed aluminum tubes, which are double butted, to increase the frame's durability and maximize rider energy output through enhanced stiffness. A Press-Fit BB86 bottom bracket shell provides more surface area to attach a larger down tube and chain stays for better stability and rigidity under load. The internal bearing design is also lighter than traditional external cups as well. The shorter head tube of the Roubaix lowers the handlebar position and consequently puts you in a more aerodynamic riding position. Additionally, the head tube is tapered to improve front-end handling and increase strength under rider torque. Finally, the Roubaix frame is designed with shorter chainstays, which results in a shorter wheelbase for precise handling at a moment's notice.
The Roubaix 1.0 LE is outfitted with a flawlessly functioning and highly-efficient Shimano 105 drivetrain. The shifters feature an ergonomic design for comfort, while working in tandem with the Tektro R-340 brake design, allow for a greater level of modulation and power from the tops of the brake hoods, where most people ride a majority of the time. The 10-speed 105 rear derailleur integrates the wide link design prominently featured in both Dura-Ace and Ultegra derailleurs to not only promote quick shifting, but to preserve the pivots for greater durability and long term crisp shifting performance. An Oval 520 compact crankset and a Shimano 12/28 cassette supplies you with the perfect combination of gears for steep ascents and descents.
Oval Concepts has been supplying bike manufactures with cutting-edge components for many years. The Roubaix 1.0 LE features a 300 series handlebar, stem, seatpost and saddle to meet the need for performance capable parts on the LE. The oversized handlebar and stem combine to give you less flex and better power transfer during accelerations. Finally, a set of Oval 327 wheels and Vittoria Zaffiro Slick tires add speed and grip in and out of every corner.

2 killed, 20 injured in Colorado mining accident
Monday - 11/18/2013, 5:32am EST
AP Sports Writer
OURAY, Colo. (AP) -- Two workers were killed and 20 others injured Sunday in a mining accident near the southwestern Colorado town of Ouray.
Authorities said that the two who were killed died from carbon monoxide poisoning, the Denver Post reported.
The officials said at a nighttime news conference that the source of the gas was under investigation, with officials looking at whether a small explosion in the mining process might have caused it.
The 20 injured were taken to area hospitals, and all but two were treated and released, Ouray County spokeswoman Marti Whitmore said. There was no immediate word on the conditions of the two hospitalized workers.
The Montrose Daily Press reported that 10 of them went to Montrose Memorial Hospital, where officials say they were treated for carbon monoxide exposure. It wasn't immediately clear if the remaining 10 also suffered from exposure to the gas.
Rory Williams, the operations manager for Denver-based Star Mine LLC, said all of the men are required to wear personal respirators and the two who died had them. He said that it doesn't appear to be an equipment malfunction, the Post reported.
Whitmore said that the Ouray County sheriff's office was called to the Revenue-Virginius mine at about 7:20 a.m. The miners were underground and were confirmed dead Sunday afternoon.
She said that mine owner Star Mine Operations has accounted for all of the workers at the site.
Both the Daily Press and the Post identified the dead as 34-year-old Nick Cappanno of Montrose and Rick Williams, 59, of Durango.
"I knew both of these individuals personally," said Rory Williams, who said he is no relation to Rick Williams. "They were hard-working men. They were great men. They will be remembered indeed."
Though the cause of the accident hasn't been determined, Rory Williams, told the Ouray Watch newspaper that it wasn't related to a cave-in or mine collapse.
"I believe a blast was involved which did create some gases which potentially the miners did inhale," Williams told the Daily Press.
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration is at the accident site, which is about 270 miles southwest of Denver.
The last major mining disaster in Colorado occurred on April 15, 1981, when an explosion killed 15 people at the Mid-Continent Dutch Creek No. 1 Mine near Redstone.
There have been eight mining deaths in the state since 2002, not including the two Sunday, according to the mine safety agency.
In 2011, a New Mexico contract worker died after being hurt at the West Elk Coal Mine in Somerset, in western Colorado. The agency found the 53-year-old slipped and fell from a beam at a tower construction site.
In 2012, a 25-year-old water truck driver died after losing control of his vehicle at Colowyo Mine in Moffat County.
The Watch reported that in its heyday, between 1876 and the late 1940s, the Revenue-Virginius mine produced more than 14.5 million ounces of silver, enough to weather the Silver Panic of 1893.
Star Mine Operations acquired the property in late 2011.

This conversation is closed.
Medicine is NOT an industry. The industrialisation of medicine should stop
The "industrialisation" of medicine is a recent phenomenon.
It has resulted in:
1. Unrealistic expectations of those who can afford it or have access to it.
2. It has taken away from providing "basic affordable" health care to millions and concentrated on "state-of-the-art" for a few.
3. It has diverted both medical teaching and medical practise from basic conversations with a patient to a series of "tests and investigations" which more often than not are designed to help those who "possess the equipment"
4. It has resulted in virtually complete loss of faith, between the treated and the treating , more litigation, paper work and time spent "covering every eventuality" as doctors
5. Like super-markets the "hospital chains" have taken common sense and good food away from local shops and farmers markets to concrete and glass structures where the "shopper" is bewildered and ends up spending more than she/he needs.
We need to understand that the vast majority of us do NOT need expensive, state-of-the-art medical care. We do not need to pay vast amounts of money to "insure" ourselves and neither do we need to pay vast amounts of money to live.
We need to make 80 % of medical care a 'corner-shop" , non-litigious, relationship of trust between doctor and patient.
We should try and stop the uncontrolled proliferation/continuation of the "medical hypermarket". and its attendant "industries --pharmaceutical, device manufacturing, medical tourism - and go back to the basics.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 28 2012: Hi Ishika,
You know how much I agree on this issue.
1. If we really had good primary and secondary level care in India and West Bengal in particular, wpe wouldn't be needing tertiary care much. People would be OK at the local hospital or clinic facility. But 'industry' would suffer from 'money-mia'
2.Most corporate hospitals in Kolkata set revenue standards to be fulfilled by the doctors on their panels, so that the conveyor belt of the heath-care factory keeps rolling. In other words 'Show me the money or you can quit'
3. Blindly mimicking the Americans and extrapolating their methods of 'doing every test for everybody' is a disaster for our country which has a meagre public heath budget but has given the multitude of unethical persons to order investigations at large.
4. A good clinician can diagnose most (>95%) cases in his OPD without a single investigation. I've been fortunate to train under such illustrious doctors in Kolkata and Aligarh.
5. Diagnosing after a battery of tests is a clerk's job. One needn't study the science and art of medical therapeutics if one can't trust his/ her gray cells.
6. Most medical research is today sponsered by pharmaceutical houses which definitely puts the results of the studies in question. And what I understand, this is not limited to our own India.
7. The day commerce overtook science all across the world with the US illuminating the tortuous path, 'the ethics died'. So heathcare among other things is looked upon as yet another business or
ganisation, and patients would soon have a new title- 'customers'.
8. Exploitation is at the core of it all. Brands sell. Just like a fifty year old buys Rs. 6000/-worth branded trainers solely for his morning walk and no more. Getting treated at a 5-star hospital, or should I say a 5-star hotel where some health care is also provided, adds to the social status and credibility of a person.
9. The present state-of-the-art hospitals touch everying but the lives of their patients.

Evelyn and Lucia's Tea House Playhouse
My Great Outdoors
Names: Jill, Brynan, Evelyn (3) and Lucia (1)
Location: Minneapolis, MN
I set out to design an open ended playhouse for our daughters. I also wanted a play space outside of the structure with multiple different types of play areas. The playhouse is inspired by a Japanese tea house.
Some of these elements include a wandering path, a small entrance that one has to crawl in to enter, a circle window, lattice, and long horizontal window looking over a rock garden. Most of these elements from a Japanese tea house were used because of their playful attributes and not for traditional meanings. The front of the play house extends a bit like a porch to sit on, particularly for grown ups to sit without needing to duck. The circle window is also a sundial. This is one of my favorite parts of the design as the show is centered on the house at noon. This is nice for me to know what time is it to coordinate lunchtime when we are outside playing. I know I could wear a watch but this is much more fun for me!
The rock garden consists of small pea pebbles and instead of larger rocks I used tree stumps. The pea pebbles offer a play medium and the stumps offer a surface to play on. There is also a sandbox offering another textural element for play. There is a path leading from the rock area to underneath the hedge canopy for a secluded play area. We needed to build a small wall to level the rock area and beyond that we have rocks and mulch with plantings that can be played around, on and within. I intended the front floor structure to be off the ground plane a bit more but I didn't realize how much our yard sloped.
We do have tea in this house and one day I would like to teach my daughters a traditional tea ceremony (which I enjoyed while traveling in Japan). We also like to go out there to sing songs and play together. The girls like climbing in and out of it. They love to sweep the floor and bring all of their doll items out to the house and sit and play for along time. The rocks and sand occupy them as well. I foresee this as a great stage someday. I think the playhouse will support creative play as the children grow older. I'm glad we spent the time and money on this as we were just going to buy a playhouse from Costco.
Thanks Jill - what a wonderful, inspiring project!

LOOK at that! It is just gorgeous & looks so fun!
I was wondering if Jill could comment a bit more on the materials used. Would it be possible to get a copy of the plans? I'd love to do a playhouse like this in our yard.
That is stunning!
Gorgeous! What lucky girls you have!
Very nice, never considered an open play house before. Love the girls'names...my daughters name is Evelyn too. :)
This is really really beautiful. What a wonderful are for the whole family.
Wow! Perfect use of space. Great job.
This is awesome! I'm saving your email, Jill for when we do our backyard!
I'm totally enthused to see this! Last year was the first time I had seen an open-front playhouse in action, and it allowed for multiple children to play much more easily than a closed version. I've been thinking about it ever since.
Perhaps you should sell your plans, we've hunted everywhere for some good ones in this vein, and found none. This style reminds me of the Modern Playhouse "Circle House", which I love (apart from the $1450 price tag!).
I like the evidence of careful thought from a child's perspective, with the little crawl-through and round window. My particular child would be guaranteed to love those. Beautifully done!
(Nice rocks-stumps-sandbox play yard, too.)
Wow, I want to build that for my kids right now! It is fantastic, nice job!
Since you are in MN, what do you foresee for the winter months? Will you bring in all toys that are in it, or leave them in the playhouse?
Think you'll go out and play in it still?
...perhaps you've thought about that because we are wanting to build a place in our backyard in Colorado but don't know how one will hold up.
oooo it is beautiful and adorable
Love. Must have my husband build this :)
This is the most inspiring backyard kids space I've seen! I third the readers' comments to ask for a building plan. Fabulous....
I am wondering if the plans to this tea house are available?

Favorite Comic Characters (In No Particular Order)
Just a list of my favorite comic characters. More will be added on an irregular basis.
Just a list of my favorite comic characters. More will be added on an irregular basis.
The Protector persona was pretty great. Sleek costume and a cool name.
I enjoy watching SyFy's Face Off. This guy looks pretty awesome anyways.
Personally, I think it's an awesome power. Must say something about me...
This is the Number 2 Name in comics. Sick hammer, too.
I love Lester. Everything about him is fantastic. The perfect Marvel Knights villain.
Another awesome Kirby creation, another fantastic design and costume.
Ted is the true Blue Beetle! Seriously, I could go on for days about how much I love him as a hero.
I. Am. So. Friggin'. Awesome.
Though some despise my disturbed brother from Marvel, if written properly, he is hilarious. If not, he sucks. I'm looking at you, Daniel Way.
My first superhero. Bruce has made a sizable impact on my life.
He made Robin even cooler than my five year old mind could imagine.
Frank! Ennis's Punisher MAX is one of the best series I've ever read.
Pirates + Superheroes + not actually being racist = Best Indy/Golden Age character of all time.
No matter the costume he wears, Dick is a fantastic character. Robin Year One changed the way I viewed Dick as a character as well as my perception of the role of Robin.
Batman: Hush is my favorite story of all time.
Best name for a costume. The Suit of Friggin' Sorrows!
Awesome costume. That's pretty much it.
Who knew a rip-off Batman could turn into one of the most interesting and complex characters in comics?
I'm an archer. He's an archer. He makes purple look bad ass.
Same as Hawkeye, except for the purple thing.
This goes for all following Kirby fourth World characters. Great name, original costume, and mind-bending powers.
Love the helmet and Astro Harness.
His headpiece is great.
A Top 5 Best Names in comics.

I love his name, I love his costume, and I love that he's the slightly more violent version of Cap.
I don't know. He's got a cool mask and helmet combo. Sweet name. Cobra logo is pretty sweet in general.
Blends an interesting political standpoint with a fantastic costume and some cool parkour moves.
Cool costume. Pretty incredible powers.

Red Hood is easily my 3rd favorite Bat-Family member.
Great character story. Another awesome archer.

Since the first time I picked up an X-Men comic, Gambit has had a special place in my heart.
He's so arrogant and I love it. Interesting, but nonetheless great, costume
Best Spider-Man villain. Sweet name, too.
He is the law. That's about it.
Totally metal body but still has his black hair. The Legacy Virus sacrifice validated his heroism, though I'm still glad he's since been resurrected.
Yet another fantastic pulp character. Brings a certain gravity to the sometimes-light pulp tales. THE SHADOW KNOWS!
Recently got the chance to sample his most recent on-going. Simply put, I was blown away.
A very cool, fresh take on the dark, fantastical side of comics.
Cool costume. Hey, noticing a theme here?
Great name, costume, and story. Easily the best galactic hero.
Cool costume and name.
What's awesome about Spawn? Ummm, everything?
If Spawn is the most kick-ass Image character, Redeemer is any easy second.

Great name and update from his grandfather.
Great costume revitalization. Great character all around.
Bad ass sorcerer.
Top 5 costume design ever.
Hands down best Metal Man.

Winged bad ass.
Cool concept, even cooler character design.

Captain America + England + Nick Fury = Awesome
The Big Red Cheese!
Best villain in the history of comics.
Another fantastic Kirby character. Awesome helmet. Taaru!
I love the modern costume and the fact that he whips a chain around.
Another Top 5 name in comics. Also, sweet powers and costume.
Either the best or the goofiest costume I've ever seen. Can't quite figure it out yet.
Haven't really been a huge fan until recently. Brown costume is easily my favorite.

My first Spider-Man comic was a Clone Saga issue. I've loved Ben since.

HAMMOND, WI (WTAQ) - A Green Bay woman died over the weekend, after she was hurt in an Interstate crash in far western Wisconsin.
The State Patrol said Emily Sadowski was going east on I-94 near Hammond in St. Croix County, when her car veered into the opposite lanes and was hit by a semi-truck.
The trucker, a 47-year-old woman from South Carolina, was not hurt.
The crash happened last Tuesday.
Sadowski was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul Minnesota after being critically hurt. She died there on Saturday.

I was asked recently why I haven't blogged in a while. Like you might expect, its a mixture of different types of busy.
Tag Archives: hacking
It looks like I'm in the clear with the hack, assuming WordPress 3.1.4 and the plugins I'm using are safe.
After thoroughly scrubbing the WordPress database, I think I'm ready for the next step, the scariest, which is to recreate the blog entirely with a brand new installation.
Details of Hack
One of the problems that you inherit from running your own blog instead of paying someone else to maintain a blogging platform is that you occasionally come under attack from a hacker. There's no telling whether this will be successful for them or not until it happens. The overall question is one of time, resources, skill and luck. Given that I didn't think I'd be a high value target, I did what I could and hoped it would be enough. It was not.
Even more tweaking
With even more hacking, I implemented the image overlay thing the Cutline authors did on their blog. This floats another image on top of the randomly changing header.
I also tweaked the vertical spacing in various header elements to make things look right. The only thing that's really a hack is the Cutline guys' deal where they hyperlink the floating image by hyperlinking random text associated with a particular region of the floating image, but they hide the actual text by left indenting it by -9999 pixels. Which took a little tinkering to figure out.
But I think I'm happy now with what I've got. Everything's actually working and nothing looks like ass.
So maybe I should go to sleep so I can get up early tomorrow to clean the cat boxes and take out the trash.
More Theme Tweaking
I successfully implemented the "Totally Random Header Images for Cutline" feature, with a little hacking. I made my header images largely out of my own photos and completely out of freely available images, and I changed the cycling pool from 5 to 9. Almost everything went swimmingly, except that despite the fact that Cutline's header images are 896×163 pixels, the sizing in the updated header.php the Cutline folks provided resize the images to 773×140 pixels… for no apparent reason. So I fixed that too.
However, even though I wanted to make a "Post" link that shows only if the user is one with author permissions, I didn't get that to work at all. But that's okay. I was just tinkering.
Theme fixed!
Okay, here's where I catalog all the changes I made to get Cutline where I wanted it to be.

Who we are?
Broken rice is the rice which is broken into 2 or 3 pieces. Broken rice - Com Tam is considered as one of the most traditional food from the South of Vietnam, together with Pho from the North. Nowadays, broken rice is found not only at "pavement" food shops, but also in the restaurants with an aim to build the "Vietnamese broken rice" to be "the food of Vietnam" as Pho has done as well so far.
MOC Group has already developed 4 brands and built more.
"COM TAM MOC" _ The Vietnamese broken rice.
"Pao Dim Sum" _ The Chinese traditional dish that involves small individual portions of food which usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate. It is usually known as "YUM CHA"
" ROM BBQ" _ Vietnamese BBQ restaurant_grilled at the table.
"MOC DECOR" _ Design & construction.
These 4 branches are growing and growing day by day. Our experiences allow creating brands and services that closely respond to the need of the customer. It is especially true in term of store design and creating the task of the customer design.
Another unique selling point of MOC brand is ability to combine multiple brands under one roof creating a premium food court concept. In this way, consumer is given more choices_ attracting more customers & increasing sells.
Why "MOC"?
"MOC" in Vietnamese stands for simplicity, in another meaning it is also about wood and tree. Meanwhile, "MOC" could be a stamp - a commitment. Inspired by that spirit, Com Tam MOC, is founded as simple as it is. The food is made and served in a traditional and simple way with a consistent quality commitment. The space of brown wood in well alignment with old bricks, wild flowers and yellow- light lantern always brings a feeling of nothing but warming and cheering…
The brand identity is built up in the core spirit of "Simply MOC", yes, approaches and convinces others in its own way.
What we serve?
Com Tam MOC - The variety of dishes to diversify the original concept of broken rice. More and more R&D for healthy food. Specialties brogans out the more taste experiences for customers. The differentiate concept simply is "it's just been cooked right after your order" , simply brings the food to its freshness.
How we run?
Experience by time to time, this business model has found its uniqueness and high feasibility to expand due to its small size with adequate investment and appealing return on investment.
The operation is smoothed by the accumulative experiences and standardized operational procedures. The management system includes inventory system, billing system, HR system and customer service system have advantaged significantly from the intelligent software that allows us to connect and control the network online. The Quality controller's role is taken seriously for stability and consistency.
These might help to figure out these brands is doing well the own business and confident to build up the franchise system in Vietnam and oversea.
When we grow?
April 2007: "Com Tam MOC" opened the 1st in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. It has been generating a new trend for Broken Rice Business concept and model in Ho Chi Minh City. "Com Tam MOC" received all positive reactions from both Vietnamese and foreigners.
April 2008: "Com Tam MOC" has obtained the Certificate of Intellectual Property of brand in Vietnam. At that time, the second outlet opened in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City also. The operational process has been step by step standardized, which is a preparation for franchising model.
February 2009: The third "Com Tam MOC" is continued to open in district 1 as well in order to meet a huge demand in Ho Chi Minh City.
Year end 2009: "Com tam MOC" succeeds to have an AREA FRANCHISE in Ha Noi. Moreover, "Com tam MOC" model is succeed and well-known in the the North area.
August 2010: MOC Group has launched 2 more brands which are Pao Dim Sum and ROM BBQ. Together with Com Tam MOC, Pao Dim Sum and ROM BBQ are also succeeding.
How to be our franchisee?
And now, our Com Tam MOC is "FRANCHISING ON AIR". We are looking for our area franchise & master franchise in Vietnam & oversea.

The Beretta Cx4 Storm is a pistol-caliber carbine aimed at the sporting, personal defense and law enforcement markets. Seven different models accept full-size Beretta magazines from the 92/96, Cougar, and Px4 series pistols in 9x21 IMI (its original caliber), 9x19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.
The Beretta Cx4 Storm is the civilian version of the Beretta Mx4 Storm.[1]
Design details[edit]
The Cx4 Storm was developed to be used in conjunction with Beretta semi-automatic pistols. For example, the magazines for the Beretta 92FS chambered in 9mm can be used in the Cx4 (also chambered in 9mm). This aids in a smaller loadout – no longer needing to carry separate magazines for the rifle and handgun – and adds redundancy, allowing a person to carry more ammunition without adding weight.
Conversion between Px4 Storm, 92/96 and 8000/8040 Cougar 9x19mm Parabellum/.40 S&W magazines requires two parts (not included with rifle). For Px4 magazines the C5C620 magazine insert and C89210 magazine release button are required, for 92/96 the C5A511 insert and C89109 release, for Cougar the C5A670 insert and C89110 release.[2] The .45 ACP model only accepts 8 round single stack 8045 Cougar magazines.
The CX4 Storm includes a Picatinny rail that can be extended under the barrel by pushing in the sling button and pulling the rail out by a thumb tab. Each Storm also includes a side rail with two mounting screws, a second can be purchased along with a bottom rail from the manufacturer. The contoured bottom rail is designed to attach under the two side rails. A top rail can also be purchased and installed with a tool that comes with the carbine. Three screws and nuts attach it to the top of the carbine using a pre-drilled hole, allowing the user to use the rail as a template to tap two other holes hidden under a thin membrane of plastic. The correct size drill bit needed for attaching the top rail is not included with the rifle or the top rail kit and has to be purchased separately. A maximum of five Picatinny rails can be utilized using Beretta accessory kits, or the user can use the two present at purchase to attach a number of optics, grips, lights, lasers, bipods etc. This firearm was designed to be very adaptable to customization.
The Cx4 comes from the factory with adjustable iron sights. The front post sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation using the supplied adjustment tool. The rear flip sight has two apertures for snap shooting and long-range elevation selection. Both sights can be folded down when optics are mounted to the optional top rail.
The stock on the Cx4 has an adjustable length of pull. Adjustment is made by the use of stock spacers. The carbine comes with one spacer installed, which may be removed. With no stock spacers installed the minimum length of pull of the Cx4 is 337 mm (13.3 in). To increase the length of pull, additional stock spacers may be purchased separately. A total of three stock spacers may be installed which bring the length of pull to a maximum of 382 mm (15.0 in).
In addition to being able to customize the Cx4 with accessories, it is also able to switch the safety, cocking handle, ejection port, and magazine release to the left side of the weapon to accommodate left-handed shooters.
Dawson College shooting[edit]
The Cx4 Storm was the primary weapon used in a deadly school shooting that occurred at Dawson College on September 13, 2006. The gun had been acquired legally, and a coroner's inquest into the shooting recommended that the Cx4, along with all semi-automatic rifles, should be banned in Canada.[3][4] Sales of the weapon in Canada increased following the shooting.[5]
- Libya: Ordered 1,900 carbines before the civil war.[6]
- United States: Used by Albany County, NY Sheriff's Department (.40 S&W),[7] St. Louis Police Department,[8] and College of William and Mary Campus Police Department.[9]
- Venezuela: Used by Comando Nacional de la Guardia del Pueblo (Venezuelan Bolivarian National Guard).[10]
