This sucker holds your paper towels. I know, so cool isn't it? I love it. It is heavy enough that you can peel off a towel with one hand.

When ever I see something painted by someone else of the same things I have painted it amazes me at how different the end product turns out.
Our painting eyes and hands are just so different.

Clever. Doing kitchen renovation I've come to realize/fret about/become aggravated by such things that CAN NOT BE LEFT OUT of my grand plan. (The kitchen plan, not the plan to rule the earth.)

I've noticed it on your counter, admired it and thought perhaps you had a family of gerbils living in there. I like the paper towel holder idea. I am constantly putting mine under the sink because I hate to look at on the counter. Veddy Veddy nice.
ps: Hub says thank for the clip, he thinks like this about a million times a day.

Lori, this is such a clever idea! I really hate to see towel holders on the blasted counter! And then no one can figure out how to place the flying end of the roll back into place so it can be torn off easily by the next person. And then there is the wet hand on the nice and dry towels because that same person can't hold onto the top of the holder in order to tear the D*&# thing off!!! Oh, I am on a roll now..... get it? roll.... hugs, Sue/Ethel

yes I have and yes on return (no charge) , someone found my disc and the person wanted me to buy back it
Yes. What a simple process. It's so easy to do and it helps the individual who lost the disc so much. I don't know how many times I have lost my mind over a lost/left disc that I had spent countless hours learning and breaking in.
i once found a disc on my local course and it had a name and number on it...i called multiple times and no answer...left at least 4 voicemails...finally one day a woman from that number called me to ask why i was calling this phone so often...i told her the story and it turns out her husband was on a tour of duty in iraq...he came home and called me..we met up at the course and he was so thankful that i held onto his favorite thrower...we still play together every once and a while....this made me feel awesome!! thought i would share...:)
he wanted $7 for it ----------champ Tbird 1 1/2 years
no I told him to stick it up his a## ---- maybe I should of cheaper then a new one but he pissed me off

Last week, we shared a conversation I had with a team from the Newseum that worked on restoring a series of Presidential family photos for an exhibit titled "Creating Camelot: The Kennedy Photography of Jacques Lowe." That team was generous enough to share a small peek into the process they used to retouch Lowe's historic photos. Here is an illustrated… READ MORE

Quadruplets Orlando, Amelia, Wilhemina and Elizabeth
Stickles, born in 1986.
On August 28, 1896, quadruplets Orlando, Amelia, Wilhelmina, and Elizabeth
Stickles were born at home in Stratford. They were probably premature—born
too soon. And not just one or two months too soon. Sadly, they were born more
than three-quarters of a century too soon. The life-saving Newborn Intensive
Care Unit at Bridgeport Hospital lay 77 years in the future.
The Stickles quadruplets were brought to Bridgeport Hospital at two weeks of age because they were not doing well. "Inanition" was the diagnosis—exhaustion from lack of food and water. The babies were too weak to eat. Unfortunately, there was little that could be done. They could be loved—the Bridgeport Hospital nurse who cared for them kept their photograph for many years—but they could not be saved. Over the next three months, all four died.
One hundred and twenty-five years ago, having a baby was one of the most dangerous things a woman could do. Complications from pregnancy and childbirth were among the leading causes of death for women. (Other common causes: infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera; heart disease; stroke.) Many changes in the past century have made childbirth easier and safer for mothers and babies—especially multiple births.
Here are some of the steps that led to Bridgeport Hospital becoming a leader in healthcare for mothers and children:
Bridgeport Hospital's First Births
In 1884, Bridgeport Hospital's first year of operation, no babies were born in the hospital. This was not surprising—in those days, babies were routinely born at home, and mothers were cared for by their families. In 1885, only three births were recorded in the hospital. It's likely that these births were complicated, since the three mothers' stays lasted as long as six weeks, and one of the three babies did not survive. The cost for delivery and hospital stay for these women: $2.50 each.
By 1900 many more women were choosing to have their babies in the safety of the hospital, with anesthesia (ether or chloroform) to reduce the pain. In 1912, Bridgeport Hospital established its first separate Maternity Ward.
(An interesting side note: the first line of maternity clothes was designed in 1904 by Lena Bryant, who started the Lane Bryant stores. Before that time, mothers-to-be simply loosened their corset strings—and they didn't often venture out in public!)
By 1920, women had the vote, and using a bottle was the modern way to feed a baby.
In 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt was the First Lady, and half of all women were choosing to give birth in hospitals. By the 1960s, when Jackie Kennedy was First Lady, that number was up to 95%.
The Premature Unit
In 1942, the Woman's Staff for Children's Ward, a group of community-minded citizens, purchased two incubators—one for the Children's Ward, and one for the Marsh Maternity Premature Unit. Sixty years ago, Bridgeport Hospital was already caring for the tiniest of patients.
Innovations in neonatal (newborn) care were being made, and Bridgeport Hospital was on the leading edge. By 1948, the hospital was equipped to give transfusions to newborns with an Rh factor in their blood that was incompatible with their mothers' blood—a condition that was previously fatal. And a premature baby girl who weighed two pounds at birth was placed in an incubator for a month, and sent home weighing five pounds.
The Newborn Intensive Care Unit—An Anniversary Within Our Anniversary
If Orlando, Amelia, Wilhelmina, and Elizabeth Stickles had been born at Bridgeport Hospital today, they probably would have survived and thrived, because in 1973, the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NBICU) was established to care for premature or critically ill infants. That makes 2003 not only the 125th year of Bridgeport Hospital's founding—but also the 30th Anniversary of the NBICU.
"Today, thanks to the development of new medications and treatment techniques, babies weighing just over one pound have a good chance of not only surviving, but growing into healthy children," says Dr. Robert Herzlinger, the Newborn ICU's medical director since 1976.
Pictures of bright-eyed, healthy youngsters line the walls of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NBICU). Below each one is a notation: "Two pounds, five ounces," "One pound, 14 ounces," "One pound, six ounces." The notation represents how much...or how little...each of these children weighed at birth.
"They say a picture is worth a thousand words," says Betty Hill, RN, nurse manager of the Newborn ICU. "The pictures in our unit are proof of that saying."

As Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the Tri-State region, ASPCA employees worked tirelessly around the clock to provide critical care to animals in need, including the animals in our Adoption Center in Manhattan.
We are thrilled to report that two lucky animals found loving forever homes in the midst of the chaos caused by this historic storm.
First, a very special Chihuahua named Bentley—later changed to "Sandy" in honor of the occasion of his adoption—went home with Katherine N. on Monday to join his new family.
This sweet dog has come a long way. When he first arrived at the ASPCA in July, Sandy suffered from severe pneumonia and a broken leg. His pneumonia prevented him from undergoing immediate surgery and as a result, he lost his leg. Sandy took this in stride, happily moving around on three legs.
Katherine was drawn to Sandy while volunteering as a dog walker at the Adoption Center—his sweet personality and love for sitting in laps was irresistible. She has re-named him "Tito," and calls him a "hurricane miracle." He is safe and sound in Katherine's home, making friends with her other dog, Nina, whom she rescued from the ASPCA in 2005.
On Tuesday, a sweet 12-week-old kitten named Nelly also received his happy ending. With a day off from work due to the hurricane, Christie H. and Mark G. visited our Adoption Center and adopted Nelly to join their cat, an ASPCA rescue named Ted, in their New York City home. Now Nelly is "Ned," and Ned and Ted are getting along great.
We couldn't be happier that these two shelter pets found loving families, who were willing to welcome shelter pets into their homes during an unsettling time.
Please stay tuned to our blog and Twitter account for the latest updates on the ASPCA's recovery efforts.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Wanda Wisham on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Of uncertain origin. Attempts have been made to derive it from various Germanic and Slavic roots. It was certainly in use in Poland in the 19th century, and is found in Polish folk tales as the name of a princess. The derivation may well be from the ethnic term Wend (see Wendell). The name was introduced to the English-speaking world by Ouida (Marie Louise de la Ramée), who used it for the heroine of her novel Wanda (1883).

Women's tennis set to host UNC Asheville in regular season finale
Requires Adobe Flash
Thursday, April 07, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.
(April 7, 2011) -
After clinching the A-Sun regular season title on this past weekend on the road against Mercer, the ETSU women's tennis team returns home to take on UNC Asheville in the regular season finale on Thursday afternoon at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center, beginning at 2 p.m.
The Bucs, winners of six straight matches, enter Thursday's match with a 12-6 overall record and a 9-1 mark in conference. ETSU will be the top-seed at next week's Atlantic Sun Tournament in DeLand, Fla.
ETSU seems to be peeking at just the right time - having won nine straight A-Sun matches to close out the conference season. Junior
Paula Jaime
(Madrid, Spain), a First-Team All-Atlantic Sun selection last year, is starting to hit her stride after starting out a bit slow. She was just recently named A-Sun player of the week after an undefeated week in both singles and doubles competition. Jaime and teammate
Karina Kedzo
(Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) have been impressive in doubles play as they lead the team with 12 doubles wins, including owning a 9-1 conference mark.
Marine Wieliczko
(Rouen, France) has perhaps been the most consistent performer this season for the Bucs as she leads the team with 13 singles wins. Wieliczko heads into Thursday's match with six straight singles victories.
UNC Asheville enters the match with a 6-11 overall record. The Bulldogs most recently lost to Campbell on Tuesday. Stephanie Schon leads UNCA with a 10-7 dual singles record.
Thursday's regular season finale will also be the last home match for three ETSU seniors.
Tara Sheets
(Gate City, Va.),
Andra Voinea
(Brasov, Romania), and
Kelly Holtzhausen
(Johannesburg, South Africa) will look to go out in style with a win in front of the home fans for the final time.
After facing UNCA on Thursday, ETSU will prepare for next week's A-Sun Tournament. The event starts on Thursday, April 14, but the Bucs will receive a first round bye and will not play until Friday for being the No. 1 seed.

Great design and looks pretty but seems to me very dangerous, sooner or later the paper will get overheated and start to burn
great design, it would make any bedroom look pretty.

But wait! what if a comet hits the power station, and there's a huge power surge!!! even your little light will surely burst into flames!!! or worse smoulder releasing undetectable toxic gasses that will make me lose my mind and just start setting stuff on fire!!!!
to all the people that keep the morons among us from blowing up the neighborhood, thank you. keep up the good work. hope you can take a little ribbing. if not, sorry. didn't mean to offend . but this guys project seems well, a little on the safe side to rate so much concern.. take care.

Play the unique "white sounds" option to your newborn baby. Research has found that these sounds relax newborns as they remind them of sounds they had heard in the womb.
Once the time for mobiles is over, remove the arm and leave the music box only. Soon enough your baby will learn how to activate the music box by herself.
Once your little one starts walking, she will enjoy carrying the music box around with her and listening to its 18 different tunes!
Enjoy as a traditional mobile with added musical value and variety.
Remove the mobile arm and leave the music box only when baby gets older.
Allow baby to enjoy carrying the stand-alone music box around once walking kicks in.
The Soothe 'n Groove Mobile allows parents to easily moderate the level of stimulation. Activate the movement and music together or introduce baby to one feature at a time; enjoy the full mobile experience or remove the overhead arm and use as a music box only.
If your baby seems uncomfortable or restless (crying, averting her gaze, etc) reduce the level of stimulation. Turn the music and movement on separately and monitor baby's reaction. Check whether baby shows preference for a certain tune or genre.
If your baby seems uninterested, she might need more stimulation. Turn the music and movement on together, choosing a more upbeat tune, and draw her attention to the dangling toys.
Baby's reaction to the mobile may vary. When she is alert she might respond one way and when tired another. Adjust the use of the mobile and level of stimulation to baby's changing moods and needs (i.e. soft music and few features to help baby fall asleep or louder music and more features to keep her engaged, etc).

"The Trees of Life, with its angels and butterflies looking down over the twelve months in the year, keeping the hope alive that cancer can be beaten. We will always remember the loved ones we have lost, we all miss you."
"Like the tree of life, the memories still keep on growing, as we all grow closer we have to share the time with others because we all need each other to grow together and be strong."

When you say "lifespan" what are you looking for? Until complete failure of the entire machine?? Not going to happen. If you mean until a failure, it could be a few hours (unlikely) or several thousand. If that happens you fix it and continue welding. Considering that it is used for making money (typically) you should be thinking in terms of how many arc hours it will take to pay for it self. Over the life span of the unit you will spend far more on gas, tungsten, and consumables than you dynasty.

I know, but since I don't have access to this information (Considering a used Dynasty 300dx of ebay) I was trying to use what information I have which is the arc timer and arc cycles from the machines memory.
315hr and 134,109 cycles - does this makes sense and what does this say about how the machine was used.
315hrs seem low to me (I'd expect this machine to go into the 5000+hrs), but the 134109 arc cycles seems high and would mean 7 cycles per minute.
For those 'true welders' (I'm just an amatuer) what does this tell me about how the machine was used?

now i see what your looking for. i don't see how the internals in these unit would wear, i think it proves thatthe unit is reliable. Do you know what type of welding it was used for??
Go to the motorsports forum and ask dynasty owners to post there arc time and starts with a brief description of what it is used for and if they have had any failures. I believe the 300dx is a VERY reliable unit.
I don't know beans about the Dynasty, but, as to general Miller longevity, I have two Miller products that are over 20 years old and still cooking. Can't beat it with a stick. If I had the bucks, I'd be all over that Dyn 300 like a bum on a baloney sammich.Triggerman

sounds like it was used for a lot of short welds, hard to work it hard like that unless it was short due to over duty cycle, but that i would suspect would have caused them to sell it early, just too frustrating. so i would think it was used for tacking and or short welds. the 300 was always spoken well of, so if its working and at a good $$ go for it.thanks for the help
hope i helped

We have 6 300's and 2 350's at work. They are great machines, we bought the first one 3+ years ago and no problems with any of them yet. It's hard to say how the machine was used based on the arc starts. We weld boxs and all kinds of things at work (1/8" Alum), sometimes we make 8ft long welds. You need a pile of tacks on an 8ft weld so your arc starts will add up quickly, but when it's final weld time your giving your duty cycle a workout. Like I said we haven't had any problems, the average user will likely never make the machine break a sweat!at home:

I purchased this cook top about 4 months ago. From day one I noticed a very heavy film that I could not get off. I used every recommended type of cleaner to no avail. When I finally took a chance and turned it on, the film 'burned on' and totally discolored my cooktop. I called GE and they sent someone who brought a new one but made it clear that this was not a real reason for them to change the top. Well, considering what I paid for it and also that this would not be my first glass cooktop and I know what it acceptable when using one, you can imagine that I was very disappointed. Guess what, the second cooktop had the same problem. My cooktop looks like I have had it for over 10 years. My last one lasted that long and was a breeze to clean. I had to change it because I broke it when I um.....dropped a pot on it. I do not want to purchase another GE profile for fear that the quality of material used is not conducive to 'normal, daily home use'. I also want to mention that I have an excellent set of professional cookware that I was told was not the right type for this cook top. Tell me who is going to change their pots every time you change your cooktop. Seems to me the cook top should be more user- friendly. I did not purchase an induction top so I shouldn't have to be concerned about my pots. And the buttons are too sensitive, they will turn on/off if lightly touched so definitely always use the lock. Bottom line, I usually do well with GE products but this was a total disappointment. I might try their other products but not their cook tops and definitely not this one. GE please go back to using better quality material or I am moving on.

Comments about GE Profile 30" CleanDesign Black With Stainless Steel Trim Electric Cooktop:
appearance, easy to clean, modern look, price was a little high.
Sleek styling. Good performance
By Pete510
from Hoston, TX
I bought this cooktop when I remodeled my kitchen. It replaces an old style coil-type electric. It performs well but it is a real pain to keep clean. Whenever you fry something the spattering is all over the cooktop. You have to remove all knobs and downdraft grille to clean under and around them every single time you cook. The exhaust fan extends down so much under it that I had to butcher and rig with duct tape the ducting to fit my existing set up (also a downdraft) Your pots and pans need to have a perfectly flat bottom, otherwise they rattle noisily and rock so much when heating up the that the contents spill over.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By LisaCox06

I love the cooktop and I like how the two burners can heat up simultaneously for griddle cooking. This is my second cooktop and I will have this complaint about any ceramic cooktop I purchase from no on; the issue I have is the appearance after one cooking use. I wish they would come out with cookware that doesn't leave behind scratches or a cleaner that ACTUALLY removes them. There is no cleaner that works to my standards - I've tried them all. But I will always by a ceramic cooktop and it will probably be a GE from now on. Thank you!

Replaced older unit much improved. Heating system much faster then old design. Exhaust fan higher capacity
looks great
By Coffee
from Seattle, WA, United States
We have had this cooktop for a few months as it replaced an electric cooktop with coils. This cooktop was easy to install and looks very nice. The elements heat up very fast and boil water faster than gas cooktops we have seen. We also like that the glass top only heats up in the area of the cooking elements and does not heat up a larger area. The exhaust fan housing is very large and difficult to hook up an exhaust vent. Expect that the exhaust system will take up more room in your bottom cabinet than older models. It is taking a while to find the correct dial settings to get the heat you want. Also, it seem a little odd that the dials start out at high when you first turn them on. The fan does this as well. The fan motor is very strong and we noticed with it on high, it is hard to add salt and pepper as the fan sucks it away. Although the glass surface looks very nice, it scratches easily and is hard to keep clean.
Make Some Changes
By David63
from Minneapolis, MN, United States
Bought this cooktop a couple of months ago as part of a kitchen upgrade. Cooking functions/electronics are fine. But, the shiny, black glass surface shows every little drip, blemish, and mark, and I'm constantly having to clean it with the GE recommended product just to keep it looking decent. Redesign the surface material and you'll have a winner.
Very attractive.

We moved into a home in the country and are updating the fixtures and appliances and so on, and we just installed our new cook top. Just wanted to tell you that I used to think that sliced bread was the neatest thing ever now I have to let you and anyone else know that this cook top is even better than THAT!!! It was the best decision we made so far in our DIY remodel.

Clean, sleak look with a nice looking stainless steel edge. Electronic controls are easy to use. Easy to install. Reported measurements are exact, to the 1/8 inch. If you have an existing counter cut out, double check your measurements before ordering. The power supply hangs down quite far, which can be an issue in spaces with limited vertical clearance under the stove top.

Delivery was prompt. However, given the cost, a signature was required, which means someone needs to be home at time of delivery; very inconvenient for normal, employed people.

Have you ever heard the term "left-hander" waves? If you have not and want to see or even conquer this surfing experience then come to Lakey Beach. This beach is located in the Hu'u Village, Dompu Regency, in the province of West Nusa Tenggara on the east coast of Sumbawa Island.
Lakey beach is a long, wide, palm-lined, white-sand stretch of beach fronted by reef. Much of the bottom is rocky, but farther up the beach it's sandy and good for swimming. It is already well known among the world's surfers community. Currently the majority of tourists come from Australia, South America, the United States and others.
What is it, you might ask, that makes this place so unique? The waves here appear to sweep to the left in direction, instead of right, as is common. The uniqueness of this fact, with the added, natural beauty of the beach has become a sensation, especially among surfing enthusiasts. Aside from that, the sea breeze is fairly strong as well which supports the activities of surfing, wind surfing, or kite surfing.
Since its discovery by Australian surfers in the mid-1980s, Lakey Beach has been known to offer Sumbawa's most consistent and challenging surf. The waves break at four separate spots, including the renowned Periscopes. These swells are not for the faint-hearted as they break over exposed razor-sharp finger coral. For you surf enthusiasts this is your ideal spot.
It is said that Lakey Beach's waves are fairly stable throughout the year (not affected by seasons) and, therefore, have several times been the location for world-class surfing competitions. Dozens of participants of this competition usually come from all corners of the world, including many local Indonesian competitors. The advantages offered at Lakey Beach are already visible at Dompu city center, in the form of a large statue of a man mid – surf.
For you surf lovers, big and tall waves are usually the most desirable and sought after, but the waves here at Lakey Beach hold a unique challenge all of their own. Being not very high, (around 6-8 meters), the challenge lies in conquering the left-handed direction of the waves, a task that requires special expertise to master. Foreign tourists have come all the way to this beach on the South Island of Sumbawa to experience this challenge and hone their surfing skills.
This is the kind of place where you can join in a soccer game on the beach with the local boys in the afternoons, watch villagers fish in the tide pools at low tide, or try spear fishing when the tide comes in. If you take any path out of the village, you'll find the vicinity is greener and has more vegetation then other locales along the island's southern coast.
From the coastal, white, sandy beaches, the view breaks out onto the blue expanse of ocean water, sparkling under the clear, blue skies. The sound of the waves breaking on the beach, act as a beckoning call for the surfers to come in and test their skills on the board. While action on the board among the waves is the thrill of a lifetime, sitting along the peaceful and scenic beach and watching the surfers, or the sunset is a wonderful experience all of its own.

|Killington Hay Bale Festival
If you are traveling around the Killington VT area in the next few weeks, you will see some unusual hay bale sculptures alongside the roadway.
They're part of the Killington Hay Festival, an annual exhibit of clever sculptures made of both round and square hay bales.
Get your camera ready and head out to see giant 30 foot hay bale structures fashioned into whimsical characters. There are 35 of them around the Killington area. The festival's website has a map of them so you can plan your tour. The exhibits are left in place through October. They are made by artists and enthusiastic amateurs.
Cabot Creamery is sponsoring the exhibit and providing free sample of their cheese at the Killington Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center on Rte 4.
You can stop at the Killington Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center on Route 4 to pick up a Hay Festival Scavenger Hunt guide and complete the quiz on Vermont agriculture. Answers are provided at each sculpture. There will be prizes and complimentary Vermont Cabot Cheese at the Welcome Center.
Some more photos are available on the festival's Facebook page.

|Burlington VT Art Hop Sept 11 and 12
17th annual Burlington South End Art Hop , Friday and Saturday, September 11 and 12, has works on display from 500 artists in 100 studios and business facilities around town.
There is a juried art show, an artist designed mini-golf course made of recycled materials, fashion extravaganza, and artwork for sale.
It starts Friday from 5:00 to 9:00 pm and continues Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. If you can't attend these two days, you will have other opportunities because most of the art will be on display for another month or so.
The web site has a Artists and Sites page which lists all the display locations and which artists' works are there.
There is an enormous number of intriquing events such as tortilla baking demonstrations, hat making workshop, mini golf putt-putt on the artist-created recycled materials course built on-site, family drop-in and create center, yarn spinning and glass bead making demonstration, classic car and motorcycle show, fabric art demonstration, quilting demonstrations (make and take yo-yos!), build or rebuild chairs workshop, and much more.
The web site mentions a map but I couldn't find it in a few minutes of looking. However, if you just go to Pine Street in Burlington VT, you will find many of the event locations and you can probably get more information on locations there.
This is a very popular event in Burlington and highly recommended.

I just found out that Magic Hat Brewing is having a "#9tacular" event tomorrow to celebrate 09-09-09, September 9, 2009. There's no mention of the next one a thousand years from now so it's best to attend this event which will be held on Church Street in Magic Hat's hometown of Burlington VT.
Magic Hat has a special affinity to nines because of one of the brewery's most popular beers is named #9. And if there's anything this company likes almost as much as beer, it's having a good time.
#9tacular starts at 6:00 pm and goes 'till 10:00. That's pm, not the next morning. There will be live karaoke, a performance by The Rubblebucket Orchestra band, a laser light show, a scavanger hunt to benefit the non-profit Burlington City Arts, and a chance to win a very cool #9 cruiser bike (contest ends Sept 18).
If you can't travel to Vermont for this, there will be many other #9tacular events around the country that may be nearer for you.

|British Invasion Car Show, Stowe, September 18 - 20
A boy and his car.
My first car was a 1959 MGA. I bought it for $350 and sold it a few months later, a deal I had to make with my parents to get them to acquiesce to what I thought was one of the greatest ideas of all time: me in a sleek, fast, and nimble car to try out my inestimable driving skill
I sold it for the same amount I had bought it for and I broke even except for gas plus all the polish, wax, and other chemicals I put on or in it.
I enjoyed - no, make that - LOVED, driving the MG that summer. I spent hours each day driving or working on that car. It has rusted out rocker panels which I carefully scrapped out and painted rust-proof silver. With a meticulousness worthy of a new category of dementia, I sanded each wheel and sprayed them in short stages with the leftover paint from the rocker panel project. There was not one run in the paint. Of course, it took me more than a week of light spraying to achieve that. And I had to mask the tires each time to keep overspray off them
The tires were so old they had dried out and developed hundreds of fine cracks. New tires would have been the only sane solution but to a teenage boy with more hormones than money, I found a better answer in a product called tire paint while I was wandering the aisles in an auto parts store. The first thing I thought of was that if I had found it earlier, I could have just painted over any silver overspray. Oh well. You learn to say that a lot when you own an old car but especially old British sports cars.
I had tried tire dressing first but the tires simply soaked it up and kept asking for more by displaying the same faded gray color they had before I spent an hour applying multiple coats of dressing.
This was back in the days before Armor-All so you never saw cars with shiny tires. But my MG's tires were beyond shiny - they looked absolutely glossy with their new coat of tire black. I didn't like the look but most of my friends and family did not mind too much. That may have been due to their bewilderment that someone would actually take the time and money to do such a time wasting thing. I had a car with super black tires but all they could see was a black hole.
A year or two later, I scored the ultimate achievement, an MG TD. It had been restored and didn't need much of anything until a few months later in upstate NY when a plug on the engine rusted out, draining all the water, and turning the engine into a stationary metal grinder.
I sold it and began my VW beetle period. But I never fell out of love for those old MG's and I hope they are still on the road. That's one reason why I look forward each year to the British Invasion car show in Stowe VT.
I'm sure it is one of the few places in the country where you can go to see a large gathering of old British motorcars as the British call them (to distinguish them from non-motor cars I guess - pedal cars and so on?).
Last year, 610 cars and motorcycles were entered in the British Invasion. Perhaps with the economy the way it is, there may be a drop in attendance but certainly there will still be more than enough cars to see. And they will all be magnificent examples - they don't allow junk or near-junk like my old MGA.
If you enjoy cars, especially old cars, you will certainly want to be there. I have to work that weekend but I'll try to find a little time to hop on my old British motorcycle and blast up there.

A number of conflicting reports suggest that while the housing market recovery has yet to start, we are closer to the end of the carnage than the beginning.
Recent stats:
- The Massachusetts Housing Partnership reported that a potential 65,000 or more homes could add to the state's inventory of unsold homes due to pending foreclosures, or homes likely to be foreclosed on even after mortgage modifications. This possible 2nd foreclosure wave would add as many homes to the market as are typically sold in a given year, suggesting further price depression.
- At the same time, the Fed's March 3 Beige Book reports slow but steady strengthening of the economy, including stabilizing employment and rising wages, all of which will help reduce the chance of future foreclosures as those who still have their homes and jobs will be in a position to keep both.
- Ultimately, home prices are the best gauge of market health. Those prices have been stopped declining in most parts of the US and are starting to rise in some, according to the Case Shiller index. See S&P PDF file with the current national home price rate of change.

I just don't know.
Oh yeah and for some reason me and my parents weren't invited to my cousins wedding but everyone else in the family was.
Shann wrote:Becky, I get the feeling from not being invited to the wedding. Though since Emily is getting married 3 weeks from today (GASP sniff) I know there is a lot that goes into the decision about who to invite and with money being tight Emily had to be quite selective with whom she invited and if she didn't have a regular relationship with some she couldn't afford to invite them.
