With a taste of winter earlier this week, including a freeze warning expiring this morning, officials with the Better Business Bureau suggest home owners take measures to ready their HVAC system for winter months.
"Poorly maintained systems can create many problems, ranging from heating inefficiency to breakdowns and release of dangerous fumes," said Michelle L. Corey, BBB president and CEO. "An annual investment in home winterization is money well-spent." Rudy Weaver, owner of Weaver Heating and Air, compares HVAC maintenance to that of a vehicle, citing specific areas in need of regular attention, including filters and duct work.
"Heating and air conditioning systems are a lot like a car, they require service and if you don't take care of it, it won't last as long. The average life of a system is about 10 and a half years and if you service it, you can extend that life by a couple or three years," Weaver said. "Maintenance is important to keep up the efficiency of the system. If it's gas, check for proper ventilation to keep carbon monoxide from getting in the home. Make sure the heat exchanger isn't cracked or burst or anything — that's a safety issue. ... And just make sure it's clean and burning properly, not producing soot.
"Changing the filter on a system is probably the most important thing you can do to it as far as maintenence so it doesn't stop up and overheat the furnace, and the duct system is as important as the furnace or the heat pump. Without proper delivery, if your duct work is leaking, you're just wasting energy because it's blowing out underneath the house. And Georgia Power offers quite a bit of money to do duct sealing and duct tightening in order to save energy."
Proper filtration and duct cleaning also can help reduce health complications from respiratory disorders.
The BBB also provides a check list for home owners to review each fall to prepare homes for the winter:
• Furnace checkup and cleaning: Clean or replace your furnace's air filters. Have a professional check the furnace and ensure the thermostat and other parts are working properly. A typical home furnace reaches the end of its useful life after 15 years and may need repair or replacement.
• Consider insulating heating ducts: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a centrally-heated home can lose as much as 60 percent of warmed air before it reaches vents if the ductwork is poorly connected, not insulated, or if it travels through unheated spaces. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt from vents.
• Get a chimney checkup: Before lighting the first fire of the season, your chimney should be checked for animals, nests, leaves and other debris, as well as for any necessary repairs.
• Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: Homeowners should routinely test these devices to make sure they work and install fresh batteries as needed. Detector units should be replaced every 10 years.
• Clear gutters and ridge vents: Clean gutters to prevent or remove any buildups that would cause rainwater to clog, freeze and damage gutters. Ridge vents should be cleared to allow the house to "breathe" properly to eliminate stagnant inside air. Close any attic vents or windows that would allow heated air to escape and cold air to seep in.
• Plug holes: The average American home may have many small air leaks. Though they may not be large, they have a cumulative effect on home heating costs. Make sure windows close tightly. Check for leaks around them, and use caulking to plug the leaks. Inspect all weather stripping for cracks and peeling. In addition, consider applying insulating film to drafty windows, and install a tight-fitting fireplace door or cover to stop a day-long loss of heat through the chimney.
• Final preparations: Test your snow blower to find out whether there is a problem now rather than waiting until a storm hits. Prepare your snow-clearing equipment, such as shovels, salt or other ice-melting products. Finally, don't forget to drain outside faucets to prevent the pipes from freezing.

The Virtual Typewriter
My name is Alicia, and this is a blog I created just for fun. I love typewritten notes, and I create these with Doormouse Manufacturing's app The Amazing Type-Writer. Some of these posts are not going to be terribly serious or deep, though there are some serious and deep ones, too. And some of them I post because I think they're funny, and maybe it's true that any words typewritten look 50% better, more legit, profound, or badass – just a theory. Some posts contain swears, so sensitive, tender types, you have been warned. I hope that some of these make you laugh, and that some of these make you think, and that none of them make you cry, unless they are tears of joy. I hope these make you feel, because this world has already brewed enough apathy. I know this page looks incredibly boring, but it's really all about the words.

We understand companies face many challenges with the financial close and reporting process. The Last Mile of Finance covers the processes and activities in between the trial balance and a company's 10K. This can be a problematic area for some organizations. The management reporting and governance issues — including financial and internal control failures — often occur in the last mile of finance. These factors result not only in significant inefficiencies, but also financial errors and internal control failures.
Our experience indicates that companies need to adopt a holistic approach to last mile of finance. The strategy involves a road map for improvement to address the process, the policy, the people, and the technology issues, and how they successfully work together to improve the efficiency, governance, and quality of your financial reporting and close.

"Remember that whatever you do in life, ninety percent of it is half mental." Yogi Berra1
In November of the tenth year of our marriage, Rhonda and I were discussing a sensitive issue that comes up every year: where we were going to spend Christmas.
By this time in our marriage, we knew which topics created sparks, and this was one of them. As a result, we were both armed for battle.
Rhonda responded to a statement I'd made by saying, "Now you've got an attitude. Stop talking to me like I'm a child! You're being very condescending."
Without really thinking, I snapped back, "Hey! This has nothing to do with my attitude! Don't play that card! We went to your folks' for Thanksgiving, so we're going to mine for Christmas!"
We didn't know that our then five-year-old daughter, Hannah, was in the living room watching TV and listening to our conversation. Suddenly, her tiny voice rang out, "Whoa! Whoa! Hold it right there, Dad! Barney just said that attitude is the most important thing in life."
Hannah had a point. So did Barney.
Attitudes and the thoughts that form them are important, especially in marriage. You can attend every marriage conference available and read every book on romantic love out there, but if your marriage is based on destructive attitudes, it's likely that nothing will help.
Thoughts and attitudes are like the engine of a train and our emotions and behavior are like the caboose.
Thoughts help form and determine your attitudes toward marriage. They determine how you feel about your mate as well as how you feel about being married in general. Thoughts can inspire hope – or take it away. Changing the way you think is like a locomotive that switches tracks and heads in a new direction, taking the rest of the train – behavior, actions, and habits – right along with it.
Paul obviously didn't have a train in mind when he offered his heart-felt instructions to the Christians in Rome – but it's still a useful metaphor. Pleading with the Romans to change their thoughts and actions, he said, "I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. . . . Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. . . . Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment" (Romans 12:1–3).
The apostle is speaking about a major mind shift here. The word transform comes from the same basic root for the English word metamorphosis. As larvae go through a radical change to become butterflies, so must we sometimes radically change our minds in order to have a healthy faith and marriage.
When we do make this change, we will not think of ourselves higher than we should (v. 3), and our judgments (perceptions, beliefs, conclusions, attitudes) will be sober, clear, and accurate. Transforming our thinking can lead us to the right behaviors (vv. 9–21). The right behavior will then lead to the outcomes we want such as peace, intimacy, and oneness. The more we understand this principle, the more positive impact it will have on our relationships.
One of my good friends, Dr. Gary Rosberg, is one of the most spiritual men I know. When I grow up I want to be just like him. Whenever we're together, talk on the phone, correspond by e-mail, or chat after I finish a radio interview on his show, the last thing he always says to me is, "Hey Mitch, guard your heart, brother." This is another way of saying, "Be very careful to protect your mind from the wrong stuff. Put the right things in your mind. Protect it. Shield it from the bad influences." Just recently, after the birth of my first grandchild, Gary's message to me was: "Mitch, guard your heart, brother. The stakes just got higher."
I know Gary means for me to guard my heart in every area of life, including my relationship with Rhonda. Like a computer, if I put the right things into my mind, the right things will likely come out. Gary understands this. He knows that if my thinking is on track, then the rest of my life will be too.
Our Creator commands spouses – particularly husbands – to guard their hearts and thinking so that they do not forsake the wife of their youth (Malachi 2:14–16). God is serious about how we think and behave in our marriage. We should be too.
Sure, our actions may be due to "unthinking" habits we've fallen into. You may leave the bathroom messy every day without even thinking about it. Just part of the routine, right?
But if you really reflect on that habit, you may discover that there was a particular thought, belief, value, or idea that led you to the action – or at minimum maintained it. Maybe you thought at some time previously, I did this before I was married, so I should be able to keep on doing it. Or, What's the big deal? I'll clean up later, but now I'm in a hurry.
Sometimes, though, our distorted thinking can lead to consequences much more severe than squabbles about bathrooms.
If you are angry, afraid, resentful, jealous, or depressed – in other words, if you are struggling with negative emotions – the fault may lie in your thinking. Cognitive therapists operate on the theory that distorted thinking lies at the root of most of these negative emotions. These therapists help their clients identify the distorted thinking, understand what is distorted about it, and then correct it so that emotional healing can begin.
Here are some common distorted thoughts. Do any of them sound familiar?
Research shows that these thoughts can lead to serious problems, among them addictions and depression.1 I know.
I've struggled with depression for most of my life, so I'm very familiar with distorted thinking. While growing up, I suspected I had a problem, but counseling was not smiled upon then, and I had no idea how to get help.
I bet you can guess what happened when I got married. You got it. I didn't check my depression at the door. My moodiness, anger, and negativity moved into the Temple home.
After ten years of marriage, Rhonda and I were desperate.
I was extremely depressed and I worried about everything – even in my sleep. I often woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, but I couldn't go back to sleep because the anxiety from my dreams kept me awake. Sleep deprivation caused me to be contentious and on edge. I lost forty pounds, became physically ill, and experienced constant nausea. When I thought I had cancer or another terminal illness, I visited numerous doctors without a diagnosis. Finally, an internal medicine specialist from India gave me an answer.
"Mr. Temple," he said in accented English, "you don't have a physical problem. You have an emotional problem. You have developed an anxiety disorder, and you are also very depressed. You must get help or you may die."
After weeks of denial, I knew he was right, so I finally got the help I needed.
The counselor I visited convinced me to take depression medication, even though I was terrified of becoming addicted. I spoke with my good friend Jeff Mathis, MD, who alleviated my concerns. He said that most antidepressants are not addictive and should be a bridge, not a crutch, to help navigate through a dark emotional valley.
Because my marriage, family, faith, and job were on the line, I was willing to do whatever was necessary. The result? Over time, I became a better husband. And the way I saw myself, Rhonda, and others improved.
I was transformed.
Through my experience I learned that because I suffered from depression, I could not see myself or my wife realistically. I felt as if I were stumbling around in dark rooms – wearing sunglasses. I couldn't see myself as God sees me. I felt that I could not be good enough, faithful enough, or spiritual enough – no matter what the Bible says.
These kinds of beliefs, based on myths and distorted thinking, led me to depression and hopelessness. They can also lead us to accept Satan's lie that you are not worthy of grace and can cause us to act in ways that we'll regret.
This is typical in a marriage where a spouse is depressed. Though a depressed husband is committed to marriage, he won't feel good about his wife and, therefore, won't treat her well. If the non-depressed wife does not understand what is happening, she will make the situation worse by assuming that her husband is mean or doesn't care about the marriage or that he can easily change how he feels and acts.
In reality, change can be almost impossible for a depressed person. Until the depressed spouse receives proper treatment, he or she cannot interact with you in a healthy way.
Depression is a very serious illness, which if left untreated can destroy a marriage in a short period of time. Many marriages today are in trouble because one or both spouses struggle with severe depression. Until these couples address and treat depression, it will be difficult to learn new relational skills to strengthen their marriage.
If you suspect that you, or your spouse, suffer from depression, seek help together. Focus on the Family provides free counseling referrals.http://www.focusonthefamily.com/) or write to them at: Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995.
(A caveat is in order here. Depression and other emotional problems can be caused by factors other than distorted thinking. Chemical and sugar imbalances, stress, lack of sleep, even thyroid disorders can also be precipitators of depression. When issues like these are involved, they must be assessed, diagnosed, and treated by a medical professional.)
You may not struggle with depression. But distorted thinking, because it is so subtle and rooted in the way you look at yourself and your spouse, has the potential to eat away at your marriage.
Distorted thinking (we should never have conflict; my spouse should meet all my needs) can lay "ruts" in your mind.
As pioneers headed West in their wagons, they tended to follow the same trails as those who had gone before them. Eventually, the soil became compressed and ruts appeared. These ruts wore so deep that they still exist today.1 In northeastern Oregon, you can actually walk out behind a museum and see the literal Oregon Trail.
Add a little mud to such deep ruts, and you can well imagine a covered wagon getting its wheels stuck, so immobilized that even a team of oxen or horses couldn't pull it out. We can guess it took a little shovel work – and a lot of manhandling – to get back on the trail again.
Or if you've ever gotten stuck in deep snow, spinning your wheels, needing a push or some traction – you know how difficult it can be to pull out.
Marriage ruts can be the same. When you and your spouse disagree . . . or get hurt . . . or become frustrated . . . or reach an impasse . . . the easiest thing to do is what you have always done! Human nature tends to follow the same patterns of interactions and reactions over and over again – especially when we're under stress.
Like the early pioneers, we might know we're stuck, but not know what to do about it. Eventually, distorted thinking, attitudes, and behavior become a normal part of the journey together.
And we ride the ruts into the sunset.
Sometimes I realize I'm doing the same hurtful, nonproductive things over and over, and it isn't helping a thing! I can hear myself make the same useless comments I made last time – and get no more traction with them than I did then!
You want an example? Easy.
For many years in our marriage every time my dear wife disagreed with me, I got defensive. Instead of trying to understand her point of view, I reacted. Maybe blew up.
That, my friend, is a rut. And it got deeper every time I spun my wheels in it.
Rhonda gets into ruts as well. She manages our finances and does a wonderful job. But sometimes when money is tight, she tries to shield me by fixing the problem on her own. When I probe to find out what's wrong, she doesn't want to talk about it. I pressure her and she becomes more frustrated. I get defensive, she gets defensive, and then we argue, criticize, and withdraw. We have learned new ways to handle things, but we resort back to the past.
Same lousy ruts, same nonresults.
Our friends Mike and Ellen are also familiar with marriage ruts. One night over coffee, Ellen mentioned an ongoing pattern that was wreaking havoc in their marriage.
Ellen stays home with the kids, and by the time Mike arrives in the evening, she is exhausted. She wants him to jump into the parenting ring and do a little fighting. Because Mike works only one mile away, he has had little time to unwind. As a result, he's on edge when he walks through the door. When Ellen unloads on Mike everything the kids have done wrong during the day, he feels even more aggravated. As Ellen vents her frustrations, Mike sees her lips moving, but he doesn't hear a word. All he hears is nagging. Ellen picks up on Mike's frustration and assumes that he doesn't care. The ruts in their marriage road have been established. Ellen gets angry and doesn't talk to Mike, and Mike withdraws into his study and spends the evening on the computer. Sadly, the kids play alone.
After hearing their story, Rhonda and I could relate. We fell into a similar rut earlier in our marriage. We finally recognized the unhealthy pattern we had gotten into and implemented some changes that worked for us. We offered what worked for us to Mike and Ellen. We suggested that Ellen give Mike at least fifteen minutes after he arrives home for time to unwind. We also encouraged Ellen to break her complaints into smaller chunks. Most people cannot handle a truckload of bad news all at once.
Ellen agreed. Mike also agreed to give Ellen some time to unwind after his arrival by taking the kids to the park.
We also helped Mike and Ellen take a look at their negative attitudes, such as: "He doesn't understand"; "He doesn't care what I go through"; "She always acts this way"; and "She doesn't respect me anymore."
Over the next weeks, Ellen and Mike joined forces to move out of the old ruts they'd created, and they developed new, healthier ways of relating.
Tara, a young lady at the church I was working for at the time, approached me one day after church and asked to speak with me. "You've got to help me. I know in my heart that my attitude is wrong, but—I can't help it. It's how I feel. My marriage is killing me. It's so bad. I just want to give up. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of being the only one trying."
Tara wiped tears from her cheeks. I knew Tara likes to be direct and she is a good friend, so I decided to shoot straight with her.
"Tara, can I be real with you?" I asked.
"Yes, please. I'm at the end of my rope. Just tell me anything that will help me," she pleaded.
"Do you really want to make your marriage better?"
"Well, if it can be. I know it's what's best for the kids and I know it's what's right. I know God hates divorce."
"Tara, then here's the key. You have to begin with your attitude. You have to stop thinking that your marriage is over and that it can't be changed. If you keep thinking and saying that it's over, your feelings and actions will follow and your marriage will eventually fail."
Tara's tears flowed unabated.
"Do me a favor," I said. "For one day, stop focusing on your marriage ending and focus on saving your marriage—even if you don't believe it's possible. Can you stop thinking about it being over for at least twenty-four hours? Will you at least consider that your marriage might just work?"
Tara looked surprised; it wasn't what she expected from me. I'm usually more passive and empathetic in my approach.
She sighed. "Well, all I can do is try. I don't know what else to do."
Not only did she try, but she made great strides in turning her heart around. The next day, she called my office. "Well, no miracle has happened yet," she said, "but I do feel better. I did what you told me to do. For a few hours, I stopped obsessing about my marriage ending and started to think about changing my attitude versus trying to change Matt's. I stopped praying that God would end the pain and get me out of it and started praying that God would change my heart and restore my joy. It really made a difference in how I looked at Matt and the future of our marriage."
I was thrilled. "Good, that's the first step," I said. "Now, let me help you with the next."
In a series of meetings, I convinced Tara that if she continued to work on her attitude, then her actions regarding her marriage would open up new possibilities for changes in Matt. Like most people, Tara felt that 99 percent of her marital problems were her spouse's fault. Over time, she had convinced herself that Matt was the reason her marriage was headed south and that her actions and attitudes had nothing to do with it. Though she hadn't seen any valid signs of adultery, Tara even imagined that Matt was cheating. Her thoughts spiraled downward, producing more and more destructive thinking and behavior.
And the more she allowed her thoughts to spin in that rut, the deeper it became.
As Tara made changes in attitude toward Matt, he noticed. He appreciated her increased respect and grace when he made mistakes. She stopped reacting in the same ways as before. Within a few short weeks, Matt came to counseling with Tara. We worked on basic attitude changes, actions, and how they could interact without arguing. Changes slowly occurred in their hearts and even their everyday interactions improved. They're happier than ever now, and it all started with changes in thinking and attitude.
Perhaps you're thinking, This doesn't apply to me. My attitude is stellar. I'm right on track. Fair enough. But do yourself a favor and take this quick checkup. How many of these statements have you recently thought or said to your spouse? Put a check by those that apply.
Do any words in this list sound vaguely familiar? Could it be that your attitude—or your marriage—has begun a slow drift in an unhelpful, unhappy direction? Now is the best time I can think of to get back on course.
One day when I was fishing in Florida, it was getting late in the evening. I was tired and decided to take a rest. I closed my eyes, laid down my pole, propped my feet up, and drifted off to sleep. A short time later, I was startled awake by the sound of heavy traffic.
Oh no, I'm in the middle of a highway and I'm about to be killed! Then, I remembered I was in the boat. Because I didn't put out the anchor, I had drifted more than two miles in the bay underneath Interstate 10, where cars were rushing overhead.
When you lose hope in your marriage, you drift as I did on the bay. Emotions, circumstances, and myths are the winds that move you, not truth, which is the foundation of hope. Hopeless faith and hopeless marriages are always vulnerable to ruin.
One dictionary defines hope as "the happy anticipation of good."1
Hope motivates us to make positive choices in life and marriage and to be in right relationship with Christ and His people. God's Word says, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19). When you lose hope, your soul is like a boat lost at sea without an anchor.
Jesus, who sees into the depths of the human heart, knows what it takes to restore hope in a person's life.
Remember the story of how He met the Samaritan woman at the well in John chapter 4? Jesus knew who she was, that she'd had multiple husbands, and that she believed religious myths. He knew that her attitude about the past was seemingly hopeless. I wonder if the tape she played in her mind went something like this: "There's no hope for me. I've made too many mistakes and I don't deserve to be helped."
But after this woman spent time with Jesus, hope filled her thoughts. Though He instructed her to change the way she lived in the past, He loved her as a sinner and accepted her as a person.
And she came right up out of her deep ruts of bad thoughts and emotions.
She even ran to tell others about her interaction with Jesus – "Come see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" (v. 29). Spending time with Jesus can have a huge effect on our thinking, attitudes, and behavior.
Don't allow anyone, including the Devil, to convince you that the health and security of your marriage has nothing to do with your thinking, attitude, and beliefs! Truth that is based on the teachings of Jesus and the Bible is truth that can completely transform your heart, life, and relationships.
Over the years my experience working with couples, as well as my own study of both Scripture and research, have led me to really appreciate the role that attitude plays in my life. It affects my job, faith, and relationships — especially my relationship with my wife.
In marriage, it is very important to check our attitudes and discern whether our thinking is based on truth or misconceptions. The truth sets us free (John 8:32), not necessarily what we perceive to be the truth. If left unchecked, distorted perceptions can poison our attitudes. And a poisoned attitude toward a spouse can tear down a relationship rather quickly.
When I find myself feeling and acting negatively toward my wife, I start addressing it by doing an attitude check:
These are the types of questions that often convict me and prompt me to adjust my attitude — and thus my actions.
The Bible is full of exhortations about checking our thinking and attitudes:
I've come to realize that these scriptures apply not only to my spiritual life, but to my relational life — my marriage. God not only cares about my actions, he is concerned about my attitude regarding "the wife of my youth."
What about you? What's the quality of your thought life regarding your husband or wife? Are you embracing truth or untruths about your spouse? Are you keeping your attitude in check, or have you let your guard down?
I find that when I am off-base in my attitude and need to replace misperceptions with truth, I start by praying for God to change my heart. I ask Him to enable me to see the truth in my marriage and to see my wife through His eyes. Reading scripture also helps to realign my thinking. Sometimes I'll read a Christian book or marriage article, too.
Life circumstances, conflict and culture are constantly working to pull our hearts away from each other. Let's do all that we can to guard our hearts and protect our marriages, even if it means adjusting our attitudes from time to time.

fold over flap doesn't hook?
San Francisco
on HOUSTON COAT
Additional information about GH2323 could not be loaded.
In the picture, the top of the coat shows the flap laying over to the left side. I just purchased this coat online and the coat came with the top of the coast ironed to fold out on both the right and left sides resembling a button down shirt. This creates a gap at the top when you close with the buckle at the neck and it doesn't look as nice. I have tried to fold the top to look like the picture but there is nothing that holds the flap in place across your body. When you walk, the top flap comes undone and hangs out. Is there a hook missing on my jacket to keep the flap on the left side like the picture? Or is the jacket suppose to hang differently and it was draped like this just for the picture?

Weleda North America
It's all about managing growth from the roots—from our roots. Development is my passion in every way and for as long as I can recall. I especially love to see and be a part of the development of individuals and companies who organize themselves around a cause that drives people to excellence.
In my family, there is also a lot of everyday development. I have two lovely young daughters, Sarah and Anne, and an amazing wife. (She's also a great mother!) It is such a pleasure and so inspiring to see them grow.
Born in Tilburg, Netherlands, I grew up with Weleda all around me. I remember our bathroom being full of colorful Weleda bottles. Today, my favorite products are the Sea Buckthorn Hand Cream, Salt Toothpaste and Euphrasia 3x eye drops.
My first 12 years—at least the first 12 I vividly remember—were spent at a Waldorf school. I then moved to Rotterdam to study economics at Erasmus University.
After graduating with a master of science degree in economics, I attended a management trainee program for two years. I had the fortunate experience of working as a project manager in various companies, concentrating on new business development and business controlling—all with on-the-job coaching. After that, I moved to Utrecht and worked in sales and account management for two years. While there, a childhood friend of mine, Bas (now the director of Weleda Naturals), joined Weleda's team in Germany. He would tell me the most inspiring stories about Weleda. I was immediately interested! He introduced me to some key people at Weleda's headquarters and the rest is history. I moved to Stuttgart, Germany, where I lived for five years while working for our offices in the nearby city of Schwäbisch Gmünd. My leadership responsibilities grew, and now I'm here, living just outside New York City, not far from our North American headquarters, and working with a great team.
We strive, together, to make the planet a little better, and that is what I really like about working for Weleda. Whatever we do as a company, we know it can and does really make a difference—to our customers, to our planet and to our co-workers. That is very inspiring.

I came down with Sinus infection/upper respiratory infection which of course caused my nose to become raw from having to blow my nose frequently. I was applying many different products but nothing helped. Then I tried the Skin Food and it worked tremendously well. This product had blessed me. Thank you.
My 5 year old has a severe case of eczema. While in Spain I visited a homeopathic/nature store and was recommended to use the Weleda Diaper Care. Since then he has not had itchy flare up. I decided to add the baby shampoo and body wash and its done wonders for my little one. Thanks so much. I have just purchased the entire regiman for 40+. I hope it does the same for me.Damaris
Since my first child was born 5 years ago I went through dozens of diaper creams both pharmaceutical and natural. But with my sons sensitive new skin not only did I have problems finding a diaper cream to help with his diaper rash, but I couldn't even find one that wouldn't make it worse! When my local health foods store started carrying the weleda baby care line I thought I had nothing to lose by trying it. And since trying your diaper cream I have to say that not only have none of my children ever had to suffer from diaper rash but none of the parents I know will ever go back to their old diaper creams. I use this for my sons eczema, my husband's calluses and any other skin irritations I encounter!My uncle was recently in a bad motorcycle accident and ended up having a large part of his body covered in rough scars "road rash". I bought him some of the diaper cream to put on his problem spots, as well as some of your calendula oil for after baths and showers. And he says that his skin feels like skin again and is no longer rough and scaley.Thank you so much WELEDA!

i thought a dual cam bow was a bow with a cam on each end of the bow and a single cam bow is 1 cam with an idler wheel. please explain a dual cam bow.
2010 nemesis camo, 2011 nemesis carbon fiber,
2010 onza 3 camo,
The simplest explanation is, that a dual cam uses a split yoke to anchor one end of the cable to the axle. A "Slaved Binary Cam" anchors one end of the cable to the opposite cam, and it runs on a reverse track, that feeds out cable as the bow is drawn back.
This reverse feed, prevents the cable from going slack, if one cam is pulled "harder" than the other.
The only exception, is the Bowtech Overdrive Binary cam. It uses a split yoke cable, anchored to a "crankshaft" that keeps the cams "slaved", for the last half of the draw.
- Not sure where I got this from.
It may be something that Copterdoc posted somewhere else here, or on another forum. Or it may have been written by someone else.
It is, however, a great explanation of the cam systems.
"Cam systems differ in the way they connect each other together and in the way they compress the limbs.
Cam characteristics differ, in the efficiency, shape of draw force curve, and let-off% they provide.
There are four basic cam systems.
(1.) Dual cam
(2.) Single cam
(3.) Hybrid Cam
(4.) Binary cam
A dual cam system, uses each cam, to pull the opposite limb tip towards it, by attaching it's cable to the axle of the opposite cam. Each cam pulls the other limb towards itself the same amount. If only one cam is turned by the string, the limbs are compressed the same amount as if both cams were turned. The only difference is, that one cable will be holding the entire load of the limbs.
A single cam system, compresses the limbs by attaching a single power cable to the top limb at the axle of the idler wheel. The single cam feeds the string off the string track below the nock, and off a reverse string track over the idler and above the nock.
A hybrid cam system, works the same way as a single cam, except instead of using a round idler wheel and one long shoot string, it uses an eccentric idler wheel, that is slaved to the cam, with a control cable. Instead of having a super long shoot string, it cuts the string in half and attaches the two ends to the eccentric idler wheel. The bottom cam and power (buss) cable is what actually compresses the limbs.
A Binary cam system, works the same way as a dual cam, except instead of attaching the cables to the axles, it attaches them to the opposite cam, so that as cable is reeled in by one cam, it is also being fed out in a lesser amount by the reverse track of the opposite cam. Since the cables are pulling both ways on each cam, one cam cannot rotate, unless the other cam rotates with it. If only one cam is rotated, the other will rotate with it, and they will both compress the limbs together, even if the shoot string is slack on one of the cams."

I had always shot dual cams until about 2004 I tried one of Darton's cam and half. Loved it, shot it for a few years with Dartons and Hoyts. Then bought a Matthews LX to hunt with. Found out a single cam ain't so bad either. Shot a Matthews Prestige in tourns. all last year. Not a bad bow either. For 2011 I got a Shadowcat, back to a sort of dual cam. So I've really don't have a general preferance. I can shoot them all badly
This thread convinces me even more to go with a hybrid cam when I get another bow.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The appropriately-named Allicansayis Wow and 19-year-old jockey Joe Talamo made a miraculous recovery to score a dramatic come-from-behind win in Thursday's $50,000 feature at Hollywood Park after clipping heels and almost going down early in the stretch run.
Allicansayis Wow, last in the field of five at the top of the stretch, clipped the heels of Lullabytime, stumbled, but regained his stride under the cool handling of Talamo and struck late to win by a neck.
Talamo, who leaves here after Sunday's action for Churchill Downs where he will ride leading contender I Want Revenge in the Kentucky Derby on May 2, looked ready for the part Thursday.
"It's kind of instinct," he said. "The last thing I remember is she was about to go down. She just gathered herself back up and went on."
Allicansayis Wow, the highest price in the field at 9-1, paid $21.40, $7.80 and $6.60 while helping set up a Pick Six carryover of $63,471 when racing resumes Friday night at Hollywood Park.
Lullabytime paid $3.80 and $3, while the show payoff on Grace Anatomy was $4.80.
Allicansayis Wow, a 4-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Street Cry, was making her U.S. debut after winning one of eight starts in Ireland. The Patrick Biancone-trained filly banked $30,000 to boost her earnings to $83,706.
Rafael Bejarano and Tyler Baze each rode a pair of winners.

We are thinking about towing a car next trip south and are looking for some ideas as to what kind of car and how. We have a class c motor home and towed a trailer with a trike last two times down.

We would only consider a vehicle that can be towed with all four wheels down. There are a lot of great choices. We currently tow a Buick Enclave, but that might be a bit big for a class c. We used to tow a Chevy HHR (excellent small car choice) and have had a couple of Jeeps, both a Grand Cherokee and a Wrangler. Another possible choice would be a 4x4 GM full size pickup which would have the added flexibility to put a 4 wheeler or a MC in the truck bed. Again, it may be too much weight for your class c. I have watched too many people struggle with trailers and dollies. I can hook up and unhook much faster, don't have to worry about finding a site that will accomodate the extra baggage and can disconnect in seconds if I get in a pinch. Good luck.

I agree with KC. Four wheels down is the way to go. We started out using a tow dolly and it was a huge hassle. We will never go back to that. BTW we tow a Jeep Grand Cherokee and really like it.

We use a tow dolly, as we have three vehicles that we can use, so the dolly is our choice as to outfit each vehicle, for four wheels down, would be very expensive. We use a Hyundai Elantra most times because of the weight. The wife and I can load or off load a vehicle just as about as fast as someone unhooking a vehicle using the four wheel down method, plus we like the safety of the dolly, as we have never heard of a vehicle coming loose with a dolly as we have with the four wheel down method. In New York State we do not have to license the dolly, and is insured when one attaches it to the tow vehicle. The dolly can also be backed up, less vehicle, behind our 37 foot motor home. Each method has it's pros and cons, but the dolly system works for us. To each his own....

We started out with a tow dolly for the same reason Butch mentioned. We had two vehicles that we could choose to take with us and neither one could be towed 4 down without expensive modifications. If we could have loaded those cars as easily as Butch and his wife can we may never have switched, but for us it was a very hard ordeal--especially loading. If you already have cars and don't intend to buy a new one then a tow dolly would probably suit you just fine.
If you are buying a new car then I would look into getting one that does not need to be modified/outfitted to tow 4 down. There are several models that are this way. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4 wheel drive model is that way. All we have to do is set the transmission to 4 wheel drive, hook up and go.
Butch is probably right about the safety of a tow dolly, but we are very careful and use all the usual safety precautions (including a rearview camera for monitoring on the highway) and have never had a bad incident towing our Jeep. (Knock on wood.) Also I want to clarify Butch's statement about being able to back up a dolly. I don't think you can do that when the car is attached, although the dolly alone can be backed. Unfortunately you also cannot back an attached car if it towed 4 down. So that is about a wash to me. Just know that you might get into a tight spot where you have to unhook either one. That has happened to us about 4-5 times.
Butch is right--there are pros and cons to each method of towing. I'm just trying to give you more information.

We are like KC. Wheels on the ground. We have used our 1999 Honda CRV from the start and had no problems yet. Car has a weight of 3100 lbs. and it takes less than a min. to get it ready to go. No miles on clock as you tow, no power loss on battery, car has air brakes off motorhome (M&G out of TX), tow bar has never been a problem yet. We have added lots of miles to car tires over the years to the point we had to replace them with little miles on Honda. This Honda has been a winner. You never know it is on rear of motorhome.

We too started with a dolly due to two vehicles, now we have one we can tow four down but it is price prohibitive to change over to four down. So we shall continue with the dolly.

Will have to look into the M&G braking...the Brake Buddy just drains the car battery. Sigh...
We tow (4-wheels down) a 2007 Honda Element automatic (yes...automatic). Discovered from fellow RVers who towed these...just no big deal.
Recommend a Saturn or Honda CRV for a first-time RVer tow system. Just easier on your nervous system as the manuals outline step-by-step proceedures.

The best car to tow isn't a truck at all, its a 4 wheel drive 4 door pickup turck. It adds a another deminsion to your travels. We spend all day out in the desert in QUartsite, AZ. The 4 wheel drive midsize truck is ideal for carrying stuff (Like my wife's stupid rock collection.) It does everything a car will do with the addition of doing a lot a car will not do. We usually put more miles on the toad than on the coach. Exploring i the truck is a whole lot offun.

Saturn Vue, all wheels down.
Same here, ours is all wheel drive, and only weighs 3450#. I'd like to clarify something though. JFTHOI, I had my wife back up our rig, w/the toad on. After about 40' of backing up straight, and no problems, I had her stop. About a week later, we were in a Wal*Mart, and got wedged in by a couple of cars. We got on our cells, and she cut the wheel on the coach as far as she could. We got everything to go back about 15' before the toad wheels started to turn, just enough to get us out of the spot. You can back up w/4 down., HOWEVER, I have tried this w/a tow dolly, and snapped the wheel tie-down straps right off of the tires !!!!!!!!!! Robbie

With many towing systems, any backing up will void your warranty as well as severely messing up your system. Decoupling and recouping after a tight situation only takes a few minutes and will be a lots less hassle. Please check the manual of your towing system. All towing systems are different and be absolutely sure before any backing up.

Adhesives and Moisture
02-19-2010, 08:34 AM, (This post was last modified: 02-19-2010, 08:38 AM by Ernesto.)
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
Not this board Ray, the other Ray. I am certain you know of him.
I am the question man, not the answer man. What I find is amusing that after all these years in the industry I've seen ppl...so called experts jump on any bandwagon manufactures design only to find out years later that opinion was a myth, destroyed by science. Failed floors blamed on installers by the landfill full all for not. How many lives and reputations destroyed by bad science manufactures bring to the table.
The biggest ones now are engineered wood delaminating due to low rh. And elevated moisture levels alone destroy floors.
I think the new one might be high rh in a slab destroys floors.
I have seen the pictures of men pulling a piece of flooring, and immediately placing their CME on the slab and calling it "failure due to elevated moisture levels". Seen it in reports. Men with no flooring installation background at all inspecting floors they no nothing about other than a multiple page exam. Disturbing!!
The inspection industry needs a total redo, no grandfathering and run out the brokers.
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
Well, you know I'm a proponent of RH testing! But my scope is limited to homogenous floors and moisture sensitive flooring.
I have many times consulted on jobs where the flooring manufacturer rep cut open a floor and slapped his electrical impedance meter on the slab and told me and the owner "It's too high!"
I love messing with guys like that. What's too high?
"The moisture" they answer.
Really? What is it?
"It's at 5" they'll say.
5 what? is what I ask. Now they have no idea. They don't know what the '5' is. It sure isn't MVER.... But it's too high and they won't stick around to help solve the problem. And that is why I'm there, to determine the problem and resolve it.
I'm pushing for inspector certification. There are some small groups that self-certify and they may become recognized, but it would be great if CTL or someone would certify. I need to keep digging....
02-19-2010, 05:31 PM, (This post was last modified: 02-19-2010, 05:36 PM by Ernesto.)
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
LOL exactly, I hear ya. As the moisture in the slab equilibriated after covering, if you open the slab up and throw your meter on it what is it going to read? DOH . Lets see, the impetance meter reads in percentages....percentages of what? Is it volume? Is it the percentage of the area of that the meter is currently reading?
I like Bob's question he presents to ppl on the stand. Where's the science behind what your presenting as evidence, who wrote it where is it to be found?
You two guys might get along some day.
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
I think I am going to get Wagner RapidRH Certiied. What the heck.
I am still looking for that scientific evidence that equilibrium of the slab creates more MVER. Anyone got that in a scientific document?
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
Congrats Ernesto, we'll have to call you Sir Ernesto or something now!
I don't have scientific testing, I would think CTL Labs would have it, there may be reference to it here in the training videos also.
I experience it every day, and can explain how it happens though!
CaCl tests only read the top 1/2" of concrete (technically it depends how porous the concrete is, but 1/2" is a good generalization).
If the top 1/2" is very dry, it will read low on an emissions test. If it is wet it will read higher.
Concrete dries from the top so the top is almost always drier than the bottom. There can be exceptions to this rule, such as a slab that has been flooded recently.
When a moisture vapor blocking product is placed on the slab, the higher level of moisture in the lower portion of the concrete naturally equalizes with the drier upper level of concrete. This causes the top of the concrete to become wetter than it was before.
In the field I see this when sheet vinyl is placed on a 'MVER dry' slab that is still green, or one that has no vapor retarder below it. Over time the flooring may fail and when new MVER tests are taken they are significantly higher than the initial tests. Taking good RH tests can indicate moisture within the slab that has the potential to cause future failures.
03-10-2010, 03:06 PM, (This post was last modified: 03-10-2010, 03:10 PM by Ernesto.)
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
Yea yea yea, you know how to tow the party line doncha?
Here's a question for ya.
If the slab has a "barrier" under it so no moisture can get to it and the hvac has been running for lets say a couple years. Then why would the bottom not be dried out like the top?
Here's another, If the cacl test is picking up mve from the 1/2 inch or two of the slab, then why is that rate going to go up if the slab equilibrates? Now I know what your going to say...because the rh in the slab equilibrates and the more rh that reaches the top there for in turn turns into mver right?
If yes show me the data!!!! LOL
Have you ever tested a slab with rh probes and cacl, then covered it in plastic then run both cacl tests and rh tests again in the same proximity?
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
Ernesto, I will agree that over several years time of drying the bottom of a slab will be drier, but most likely not as dry as the top. Maybe, but most likely not. Moisture moves slowly through concrete, especially when there's not much of it.
Ernesto Wrote:If the slab has a "barrier" under it so no moisture can get to it and the hvac has been running for lets say a couple years. Then why would the bottom not be dried out like the top?
The moisture equilibrates in the slab, and the top of the slab becomes moister than it was. Wetter concrete has the potential to emit moisture at a higher rate.
And yes indeed I have tested slabs and seen MVER go up significantly as the moisture equilibrates.
As for data, what are you looking for? This is all I do, every day. I'm working on a slab right now that has documented MVER at 3.4lbs in 2008 with RH of 95%. Right now the slab reads 7.5lbs MVER and 93% RH.
Many times I am working on slabs that are poured in pan, so underground moisture is not an issue.
Did you take the RH course yet? Did you watch the videos? Everything is explained quite well in those great videos.
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
I've watched the videos three times.
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
when using the tramex meter i know that 6 shows moisture but what are the other numbers? for example if you get a three reading what does it mean?
RE: Adhesives and Moisture
Great Question!!
The Tramex CRH meter is also an electrical impedance meter, which is how you are using it when you place it on the slab and read the number 6.
Many times I have watched a flooring installer place an EI meter on a failing floor and tell me "It's 5, that's too high!"
I always ask, "5 what?" Invariably the answer is "I don't know but 5 is too much".
And that is the big question.... What does it read? The EI meter reads the conduction of electricity through the slab. More water in the concrete will conduct electricity easier, and the reading should be higher. But the conductivity is also influenced by aggregate type, density, steel location, even mix water chemistry.
It is a rough guesstimate of slab moisture in the top horizon of the slab. I will use an EI meter to check around the slab to see if there are hot spots getting high readings, and place some of my Rapid RH probes in those areas. But I always sprinkle probes around to get a good overall picture of the true slab moisture potential.

35 Fun, Stylish, & Practical Cases for the New iPad
Are you the proud owner of a gorgeous new Retina display iPad? Well, we've got some cases and sleeves for you! Similar to the roundup we did when the second generation iPad arrived on the scene, we've gathered up 35 of our favorite cases for the new iPad, and since the form factor is so very similar to the iPad 2 (just a tiny bit thicker), these cases which range from utilitarian to adorable will also work for the iPad 2.
While the Smart Cover from Apple still works on the new iPad, it really doesn't offer much protection.
Like the Targus and keyPAD models above, the Belkin YourType Folio + Keyboard converts the iPad into a viable laptop replacement for most simple computing tasks.
Of course these cases and sleeves are only the tip of the iceberg and we know there are many more out there. What iPad cases do you use and love?

What about the DODOCase? simple, sturdy design and holds the iPad2 and new iPad in place securely. By far my favorite.
I have this one:
Its great cause it has a hard back, a flip front, on/off capability, and the front can make a stand when flipped back.
Im pretty happy with it!
Some of the sleeves are pretty, but I was really looking for some protection
i have and love this one -
Beacon Cases have a gorgeous leather exterior and a solid wood frame -- http://www.beaconcase.com/
My family members have them and LOVE them!
We have, and are very happy with, a Targus case. It's not the one shown above, but the one that rotates. It's a little bulky, but I think it offers great protection, which was important to us because we have kids.
This is the cover I've got; soft embossed leather outside, soft nappy suede inside. It doesn't fold up into a roll the way the Apple Smart Cover does (which I prefer anyway- more like a real book cover), but it's got the nifty magnetic strip on the outer edge to hold it shut and activate the auto-sleep functionality. Bonus: "Electric Library." :)
These are cool too!, they just opened there first NYC location in SOHO last year.
I have this one from Clairebella. Comes in lots of patterns with monogram options.
I am surprised Portenzo cases didn't make this list, although they have a 3-week turnaround right now due to demand. Mine is shipping soon, finally!
BIG fan of the Saddleack case: http://www.saddlebackleather.com/Products/iPad-Accessories/
I have the sleeve and it is awesome!
It would be nice if there was a slideshow format for those of us with smaller screens.
