BASILDON, England (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron will be forced to step up his drive to claw back powers from the European Union to head off a challenge to his leadership after losing votes to the anti-EU UK Independence Party, its leader Nigel Farage said.
Cameron has promised to give Britons a vote on EU membership by the end of 2017 if re-elected in a national vote next year, in part because of the dramatic rise of Farage's UKIP party which has transformed British politics by tapping into popular discontent about immigration levels and established politicians.
UKIP wants Britain to leave the EU immediately, arguing it will be more democratic and prosperous outside the bloc and be able to stem what it regards as an unsustainable flow of immigrants from EU states such as Romania and Bulgaria.
Farage, whose party is likely to have made significant gains in European elections after a strong result in a local vote, said UKIP's electoral success meant Cameron would now have to become even tougher on Europe to counter a probable challenge from inside his own Conservative party.
"Cameron will change policy," Farage told Reuters over coffee in the Castlemayne pub in Basildon, a town 25 miles east of London where late Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher remains popular.
"He will try and sound more Eurosceptic. I think he will try and pen in a bit the renegotiation time for our deal with Brussels because I think actually it is the renegotiation which weakens his argument," Farage said.
Cameron's Conservative party has long been convulsed by a strongly Eurosceptic wing within it. Partisan fights over Europe were the undoing of the last two Conservative prime ministers, John Major and Thatcher.
Cameron has promised to try to claw back a range of powers if re-elected next year to appease Eurosceptics and to then give Britons a referendum on whether to remain inside the EU by the end of 2017.
But he has so far garnered only limited backing for his plans among EU states and German Chancellor Angela Merkel has ruled out the prospect of a far-reaching overhaul of the bloc's treaties.
Farage, who styles himself as the antidote to Britain's established politicians, argues that Cameron will get nowhere with his renegotiation and that Britain will end up outside the European Union.
He said he would use the European elections to trigger a "political earthquake" in Britain, whose elite he accuses of ignoring voter concerns about everything from Europe to immigration.
"There are certainly a few tremors knocking around," Farage said, refusing to drink beer, his favored beverage, after earlier downing several pints of it in front of the cameras to celebrate the best election result in UKIP's 20-year history.
"We are going to find out Sunday night. I would say the signs look encouraging but I'm not going to count any chickens before they have hatched."
The 50-year-old former metals trader in the City of London has seen UKIP support soar in the eight years since Cameron dismissed it as a bunch of "fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists".
In English local elections on Thursday, UKIP poached seats from Conservative strongholds such as Basildon in the south and from Labour heartlands in the north such as Sunderland.
In Basildon, where Farage was greeted as a hero by local supporters on Thursday, UKIP won 11 seats to become the second largest party on the council. The Conservatives lost 7 seats but remain the biggest party in the area.
All three mainstream party leaders - Cameron, Labour leader Ed Miliband and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg - admitted the vote showed disaffection with politicians and concern over the economy, welfare and immigration.
Farage said all three would have to change tack on Europe or find new jobs: "They will move their rhetorics, they will challenge their leaders' positions," he said.
"Miliband will be pressured to offer a referendum; Clegg will be pressured to become the next European Commissioner in June; and Cameron may find 46 signatures by the autumn to challenge his leadership," Farage said.
But if Farage secures a big win in the European elections, what will he do with his influence?
Farage said he would wanted Martin Schulz, a strong federalist, to lead the next European Commission because he felt Schulz's pro-European views were so abhorrent that they would undermine the European project he despises.
"I think Schulz would represent the true face of the direction the European union is going in. I think the British people will recoil in horror and we would win a referendum. I'm batting for Schulz."
Two sources said on Friday that Cameron was strongly opposed to Schulz getting the top job, precisely because he felt the German was too federalist.
Farage was less enthusiastic about Marine Le Pen's National Front in France, ruling out an alliance in the European Parliament with it.
"I don't want to be rude about Marine Le Pen, there is no need to do that, but I don't believe her party are part of our political family," he said.
Asked whether he could envisage working with her, he was blunt. "The answer is no," he said.

(glutenfree) chestnut cake
one of my all time favorite things in fall is chestnuts. chestnuts make the cold season bright. the lovely little balls, in their brown paper bags and their roasted goodness, warm not only the hands but also the souls. turned into a cake, it's not actually warming – but still more than soothing (i can never pass down something sweet on a rainy sunday afternoon…).
(glutenfree) hestnut cake (with vanilla whipped cream frosting)
150 g confectioners' sugar
3 egg yolks
150 g ground hazelnuts
200 g chestnut purée
100 g melted butter
3 egg whites
1 pinch salt
butter, for greasing pan
1 cup heavy cream
1 packet vanilla sugar
1 fig, in quarters, for decorating
preheat the oven to 180 degrees. with a mixer, whip the egg yolks with the confectioners' sugar until foamy. add the chestnut purée and then the hazelnuts. in another bowl, whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt until stiff. fold into the dough mix. pour into a cake pan (i took a round 20 cm / 8 inch one), and smooth down with a spatula. bake for about 45 minutes on a low rack. after baking, let cool, then remove from the spring form and put onto a grid to cool completely. whip the cream with the vanilla sugar and frost the cake with it. serve immediately.

Collection of company pens
I opened our pen draw last night intending to pick one for keeping next to the phone. I have realized how many pens there were, a whole pen collection! It was almost hard to pick the pen I wanted. This is what you can easily end up with if you work for an industry whose sales representatives give their company pens away. Pens of gold. Isn't that great, writing equipment is always useful to have close by because very often I can not find any. Or is it only me?
Hypothetically, how much could one of these pens cost if sold in a local news agency? About 3 bucks per pen in average? Probably. I am going to keep only 5 of them and will take the rest of the collection to school to give to teachers. Before the pens dry out and become useless I reckon.
An idea just crossed my mind. Company pens are certainly very practical gifts or compliments. Although one can easily end up with this sort of pen collection and the chance is they become unused. Most of these pens seen on the photo come from health and pharma or construction businesses. Shouldn't they, the sales rep's, give away also better Quality toothbrushes, 50:50 with pens? That would really work even better, I had a private thought this morning in my bathroom.

Since that day when I posted this articles we added to our particular pen collection 5 new pens. Just a short update for those who are interested.

Alabama, Oregon win stiff tests, solidify top two spots in AP poll
NEW YORK -- After being tested for the first time this season Alabama and Oregon have held their spots at the top of the Associated Press college football poll.
|Alabama and Oregon remained Nos. 1-2 after surviving best tests. Check out the full rankings.
A thrilling Saturday produced some great finishes but no upsets and few changes among the highest-ranked teams.
Alabama, which scored late to beat LSU 21-17, is No. 1 for the 10th consecutive week. Oregon beat Southern California 62-51 and is No. 2 for the seventh consecutive week.
Kansas State remains at No. 3 after beating Oklahoma State 44-30, and Notre Dame stays at No. 4 after rallying to beat Pittsburgh 29-26 in triple overtime.
Ohio State and Georgia are tied for fifth.
No. 19 Texas and No. 24 Rutgers moved back into the rankings, and No. 23 Toledo is ranked for the first time since 2001.
Making a statement
The toughest tests of the season were passed, and Alabama and Oregon are still perfect.
The Crimson Tide's aura of invincibility was the only thing lost.
A thrilling Saturday produced some great games but no upsets and few changes among the highest ranked teams in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll released Sunday.
Those fortunate enough to be able to keep track of multiple games got the chance to compare and contrast the contenders, and maybe a sense about how they would stack up against each other.
Alabama, which scored late to beat LSU 21-17, is No. 1 for the 10th consecutive week in the AP poll. Oregon beat Southern California 62-51 and is No. 2 for the seventh consecutive week.
Kansas State remains at No. 3 after beating Oklahoma State 44-30, and Notre Dame stays at No. 4 after rallying to beat Pittsburgh 29-26 in triple overtime.
The BCS standings were due out later Sunday, and Oregon was expected to take advantage of Notre Dame's struggles by passing the Fighting Irish and moving into third place, behind Alabama and Kansas State.
Saturday's showdowns in the Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 were played at the same time and for a while presented an almost comical contrast of styles.
While the Ducks and Trojans were trading scores on almost every possession, the Tide and Tigers were banging heads and plodding along.
By halftime, Oregon led USC 34-24 in a game that was clearly far from being decided. SEC fans scoffed at the lack of defense.
Meanwhile, in Baton Rouge, La., Alabama held a 14-3 lead at half that had to seem insurmountable to even LSU fans. The Tigers had run their string of touchdown-less quarters against the Tide to 10. Fans tired of SEC superiority scoffed at the lack of offense.
After the break in Los Angeles, the Ducks and Trojans just kept on rolling, but USC never did get closer than three. No surprise there.
The unexpected came in Death Valley, where LSU found its offense and picked apart an Alabama defense that has looked close to invincible this season.
The Tigers put together two touchdown drives to take the lead before AJ McCarron and the Tide rallied with their only sustained drive of the second half.
"We didn't play our best game," coach Nick Saban said. "But I told our guys I have never been prouder of a team."
So what did we learn?
The Crimson Tide might not be as far away from the rest of the field as many have suspected. Its defense, thought to be impenetrable, allowed Zach Mettenberger and the LSU offense to play their best game of the season.
Mettenberger had completed 46 percent of his passes and thrown two touchdowns in four previous SEC games. He went 24 for 35 for 296 yards and two touchdowns Saturday.
Logic would dictate that if Mettenberger and LSU could find success against the Tide, maybe Oregon (or Kansas State or Notre Dame) would be able to as well. Maybe?
Going up
UCLA moved up eight spots to No. 17 in the latest rankings after a 66-10 victory against Arizona.
|ARIZONA at UCLA
|First downs
|Rushing yards
|Passing yards
The Bruins (7-2) have already exceeded expectations in coach Jim Mora's first season, and the best could be yet to come for a program that usually plays little brother to USC in the crosstown football rivalry.
UCLA (4-2 in Pac-12) is in first place in the Pac-12 South, with a half-game lead ahead of the 21st-ranked Trojans (6-3, 4-3).
The last time UCLA had a better record than USC this late in the season was 2001, which was also the last time the Bruins finished with a better record than the Trojans.
The last time UCLA and USC were both ranked and the Bruins were ranked higher was 2000.
UCLA won the Pac-12 South last year by default because USC was ineligible for the postseason. The Bruins play USC in the Rose Bowl on Nov. 17 in a game that could give UCLA a title with no strings attached.
Going down
LSU probably deserves better after nearly beating No. 1 Alabama, but the Tigers' second loss of the season sent them tumbling four spots in the rankings to No. 9.
The Tigers finish with consecutive home games against No. 22 Mississippi State and Mississippi, before closing the regular season at Arkansas.
Mississippi State also has been heading in the wrong direction lately. The Bulldogs have lost two consecutive to Alabama and No. 15 Texas A&M after a 7-0 start, and done so in humbling fashion, by a combined score of 76-20.
After reaching as high as No. 13 in the rankings, Mississippi State is now No. 22.
In and out
For all of the angst in Austin this season, No. 19 Texas has won three consecutive and is back in the rankings.
After barely beating Big 12 lightweights Baylor and Kansas, Texas won 31-22 at Texas Tech on Saturday to improve to 7-2 and 4-2 in the conference.
David Ash re-established himself as the No. 1 quarterback for Texas and the defense played reasonably well -- at least in comparison to recent standards.
With home games ahead against Iowa State and TCU, before finishing the season at Kansas State, the Longhorns have a chance to put together a season that could look more than respectable.
Though if the K-State game goes anything like the Oklahoma game -- 63-21 Sooners -- nine wins will feel rather empty for Mack Brown's team.
No. 23 Toledo and No. 24 Rutgers also moved into the top 25.
Falling out were Arizona, West Virginia and Boise State, which was upset at home by San Diego State.
From the archives
Toledo moved into the rankings at No. 23, the first time since the final poll of 2001 that the Rockets have been ranked.
Toledo (8-1) also becomes the second Mid-American Conference team to be ranked this season, joining Ohio. The MAC is currently the only conference with four teams with at least eight victories. Northern Illinois (9-1), Kent State (8-1) and Ohio (8-1) all received votes from the media panel.
Odds and ends
Texas A&M gets another shot at knocking off one of the SEC's elite teams next weekend. The Aggies (7-2, 4-2) have made a nice transition from the Big 12, but they have lost to Florida and LSU. A&M goes to Alabama on Saturday. ... No. 13 Oregon State is at No. 16 Stanford in a game that will go a long way toward determining if the Beavers can grab a BCS at-large bid. ... Georgia and Ohio State are tied for No. 5 in the rankings this week. Texas and Louisiana Tech are tied for 19th.

November 2014 saw Afro-soul songstress Simphiwe Dana return to the charts with her first studio album in four years – the long-awaited Firebrand The 14 tracks comes like water in the desert to her passionate fan-base, thirsting for new material since 2010's Kulture Noir. They will not be disappointed. The new album is an evolution from her previous material in that much of it is looser, more light-hearted, funkier even!
"There is a slight seventies blaxpoitation flavour to it," Simphiwe says with a laugh. "Making this album has been a very light, happy experience. This time I just allowed the music to lead me. I freed myself from the prison of having to be a certain kind of artist. I just made music that I enjoy."
She attributes a lot of that to working with producer and guitarist Kunle Ayo, who produced all but one of the songs. "He doesn't put any ego into it," she says. "He just allows the music to work through him. He's sensual, with a lot of humility." As a result, the new album is sensual and effortless, but as authentically African as ever.

Promotional Needs
By the time she released her second album The One Love Movement On Bantu Biko Street, Simphiwe had begun shaking the political establishment with her uncensored statements and songs and had taken a centre stage as a socio-political commentator on the plight of the poor and the dispossessed.
She continues to advocate for a new political discourse through her numerous writings, such as the language debate she opened recently when she called for the recognition of a single South African indigenous language as an official language.
Her strong and impassioned beliefs in the betterment of the African people have seen her play a huge role in the restoration and evolution of African culture and its mores. Recently, Simphiwe embarked on a three-month long national tour titled "The Black Culture Education Tour" with which she married her musical passion with her cultural and social activism to draw attention to the current state of education in South Africa and the factors affecting it.
For a young woman, Simphiwe is already defining a legacy of young and powerful African activists whose aim is to artistically shine the beacon of hope on a continent that was once shunned and exploited.
2015 has seen her being appointed as the first global African ambassador for Amnesty international.
She is the convener of the African Unions (AU) Africa re imagined Creative Hub (ARCH). This program objective is to consider on how the arts, culture and heritage sectors as well as the broad creative sector could contribute to the AU's Agenda 2063 and their role in shaping and re imagining the narrative of Africa and the world will see by the year 2063.
She has also been appointed as the ambassador for the Primestars 2015 STEP UP 2 A START UP programme. This is a nationwide programme to teach high--‐school learners in grade 10, 11 and 12 how to become successful entrepreneurs.

Andy… you need to start writing your blog for yourself…
Don't worry about who else reads it. In the long run, tweets don't matter. Likes don't matter. Shares don't matter.
Your content spreading is a noble goal because maybe it'll help one of two people, but optimizing for sharing shouldn't be the goal.
In case you forget tomorrow morning…the goals of your blog should be:
– Clear out your brain some top-of-mind thoughts by archiving them through writing
– Bolster your efforts to understand the world and satisfy your curiosity
– Document life's journey and the progress you're making
– Internalize the lessons you learn through writing
– Actively practice your communication skills
– Introspect and grow as a person
– Relax
Stop trying to come up with the perfect witty phrase. Stop trying to write viral content. Stop trying to write for others.
Instead, just be honest with yourself and the world might want to listen too.

10 Swoon-Worthy Homes in the Hamptons
We're big fans of the Hamptons aesthetic. Classic shingles, lush landscaping, and gorgeous pools—what's not to love? Now that it's officially summer after this weekend's solstice, we're all about inspiring seaside homes, especially their envy-inducing exteriors. If you love the look of these gorgeous homes as much as we do, keep scrolling for some serious eye candy to get in the summer mind-set. You're welcome.
Eric Boman for Vogue
A 1962 Mercedes-Benz is the perfect counterpart to the stately exterior of Aerin Lauder's Hamptons manse. Soaring columns and traditional black-painted shutters lend the home an appropriately stately vibe.
This comfortable and cosy porch space overlooking this home's pool makes us want to settle in with some close friends for a summer afternoon. The nautical references, including an oversize fish sculpture hung on the exterior wall, lend an appropriately beachy but not kitschy vibe.
Katie Lee's Southampton abode has amazing interiors, but we're completely charmed by her serene poolside setup. Relaxed Restoration Hardware chaises give the space a carefree vibes, and we love the second floor's balcony and the covered seating area—perfect for entertaining.

The pool house of a contemporary beach home in Westhampton overlooks the idyllic wetlands. The home's streamlined architecture beautifully contrasts with the natural surroundings.
Talk about an all-American dream home. This gorgeous abode features a glass-like swimming pool, plenty of windows, and rows and rows of perfectly maintained boxwood hedges. A glass of rosé on the covered porch is what summer dreams are made of.
This impressive East Hamptons home, designed by Eddie Lee, features tastefully classic interiors, but it's the grounds that have us especially enrapt. Home to the former president of Coach International, the grounds are so gorgeous that the homeowners were married on the property.
A stately home in East Hampton is given life and character thanks to its circular driveway and emerald green shutters.

Liverpool senses a Premier League title
Liverpool assured its return to the Champions League on Sunday, but a much bigger prize is just around the corner.
What was looking like a gripping finale to the Premier League title race is starting to turn into a procession for the Reds after they beat Norwich 3-2 to move five points ahead of Chelsea with three matches remaining.
A first English championship in 24 years is within Liverpool's grasp after the win at Norwich, which was led by Raheem Sterling's two goals and the 30th of the season by Luis Suarez.
An 11th straight league win also ensured that the Reds will return to the Champions League next season for the first time since 2009-10.
It is a tighter race for the final Champions League spot, with fourth-place Arsenal and Everton winning to leave them separated by one point. Lukas Podolski scored twice in Arsenal's 3-0 victory at Hull, and Everton downed Manchester United 2-0 on two first-half goals.
United cannot qualify for the Champions, the first time it will miss the competition in 19 years.
-- Lionel Messi scored on a free kick in the 74th minute and FC Barcelona beat visiting Athletic Bilbao 2-1 to keep alive its dwindling hopes of keeping its Spanish league title.
Wawrinka beats Federer in Monaco
Stanislas Wawrinka showed that his first Grand Slam title wasn't a fluke, upstaging his more illustrious countryman to win the Monte Carlo Masters.
The Asutralian Open champion came from a set down to beat Roger Federer 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2 in an all-Swiss final, another milestone in the late-blooming 29-year-old's career.
-- France completed a 3-2 win over the United States to qualify for the Fed Cup World Group in 2015. It will compete for the Fed Cup championship, while the U.S. is relegated to World Group II.
The French doubles team of Caroline Garcia and Virginie Razzano beat Americans Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys 6-2, 7-5 in the fifth and deciding match of the best-of-five, two-day competition in St. Louis.
Motor sports: Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton captured his third straight Formula One race, leading from start to finish at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
Gymnastics: Stanford's Samantha Shapiro (9.925) and Kristina Vaculik (9.9) finished second and third to Florida's Bridget Sloane (9.9375) in the uneven parallel bars at the NCAA women's gymnastics championships in Birmingham, Ala.

Turns out, many homeowners are not even aware that there is not one, but three main types of metal roofing systems available for residential properties; metal shingles, standing seam, and corrugated or ribbed metal panels.
Thus, there are three distinct styles of metal paneling, all with their own advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the particular style of metal, you can expect to pay between $4.00 to $12.00 per square foot installed.
Why is there such a wide gap in prices?
On the low-end, there are corrugated steel and ribbed metal roofs with exposed fasteners that cost about $3.00 to $6.00 per sq. ft. installed.
On the high-end, there are metal shingles, stone-coated steel, metal shakes, and standing seam metal roofs. These high-end systems average between $7.00 and 12.00 per sq. ft. installed.
Price per sq. ft. Vs. Price per Square
Roofs are typically measured and priced by squares. A square equals to 100 square feet of the roof surface.
In terms of squares, you can expect to pay anywhere from $400 to $1,200 per square of metal roofing installed.

Metal Shingles, Shakes, and Tiles
Although, many homeowners are not aware of the existence of metal shingles, it's a compelling alternative to the traditional composition shingles.
All in all, metal shingles cost about double the cost of asphalt shingles installed.
The Cost of Materials for Metal Shingles, Shakes, and Tiles
Metal shingles/tiles and/or metal shakes materials average $3.00 to $4.00 per square foot, or $300 to $400 per square (100 sq. ft.).
Total Cost Installed
Based on that, you can expect to pay about $800 to $900 per square for a metal shingles roof installed. Thus, an average-sized ranch style roof measuring 1,700 square feet or 17 squares will cost anywhere from $13,000 to $16,500 installed, which is roughly twice as much as you would normally pay for an asphalt shingles roof.

Another Unexpected Find, My Cousin!
This is Anna Hazel Bushnell, who was born June 27, 1888 in Palmyra, NY, sandwiched between one older brother and two younger ones. Anna, or the more modern sounding Hazel as she preferred to be called, lost her mother, Alice White Bushnell, when she was just 5 years old. As it happens, Anna Hazel's maternal grandmother Anna Ryan White, from South Tipperary, was my 2nd great grandmother. Using the relationship chart here I determined Anna Hazel and I are 1st cousins twice removed.
A short time after her mother's death Anna Hazel went to live with her father Patrick's sister, Bridget Coates. Like Patrick, Aunt Bridget lived in the village of Palmyra, so Anna Hazel was able to see her father and brothers frequently. She seemed to flourish in the home of her aunt and uncle whose only child was a son two years older than her, but a few weeks before Christmas of 1903 Anna Hazel fell ill. She was diagnosed with brain fever, meningitis perhaps? She lingered about two weeks, then passed away on December 22, ten years after her mother. The headline in the Palmyra Courier read, "Death of a Popular Young Girl", followed by her obituary:
On Tuesday evening about half past six o'clock occurred the death of Hazel Bushnell, the young daughter of Mr. P.H. Bushnell and the niece of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Coates. The little girl was taken ill about two weeks ago with brain fever, and for the past week she had been very low; but still hopes were entertained for her recovery. Everything possible in the way of medical assistance was done for her, but she grew gradually weaker until the end came on Tuesday evening. She was a very popular young girl, being a great favorite with her school mates and her death will be a great shock not only to all the scholars, but the faculty of the Union School, where she was a regular attendant. For several years she had made her home with her aunt, Mrs. J.C. Coates. She was 15 years of age and is survived by her father and three brothers.
That I have a copy of this photograph at all, is one of those amazing strokes of luck. Friday I found myself in Palmyra, NY, a few miles from my home, and decided to stop at the library to check out the new local history room. OK, not brand new, but since the library moved I hadn't been in to see the new digs so I stopped. I wound up staying three hours until closing time, and could easily have stayed three more.
At the old library, the local history books, family files and microfilm along with an ancient microfilm reader were crammed in a corner of the reference area. The new library has an entire room devoted to local history and it's filled with all sorts of ephemera. I don't know where this stuff was hidden at the old library, but I'm so glad it's now seeing the light of day.
I checked some old history and family files, then some books, and was getting ready to leave when I spotted a bookcase filled with antique photo albums. What family historian could bring themselves to leave without looking through those? Several were clearly family albums, but the third one I picked up didn't seem to be. Rather, it appeared the library had chosen to preserve and display their collection of old photographs in a photograph album. Brilliant! Someone had written names under many of the pictures and as I turned the pages my heart skipped a beat to see the name Anna Hazel Bushnell; I knew that name!
While I was excited to find this photo, it made me a bit wistful. In it we see a lovely girl of 14, on the brink of young womanhood. Sliding the photo out of the album and turning it over I saw this heartbreaking inscription:
"From Anna Hazel Bushnell,
Christmas 1902".
Below that was written:
"Went away Dec 22nd 1903,
a loving little heart".
Whoever authored those last lines couldn't even bring themselves to write the word "died", instead it was the euphemism, "went away". Unfortunately, I have no idea who may have written it, a friend or relative it would seem. I plan to return to the library soon and re-examine the album, hopefully there will be a clue.

Here's how to BOOST internal water pressure for $1.79.
Model Number: MDBH945AWS Brand: Maytag Age: 5 - 10 years
This was actually my final post from a problem thread. But I thought it might help others so I've given it a new title so other can find it. The previous thread was Substitution parts for Paytag Dishwasher?.
Since I couldn't find an expert here that could give me help on increasing my internal circulating water pressure, and wasn't able to find any specs on the parts list for possible replacement, I had to do the DIY method. I made my own with great success!!
All it took was $1.79 for the top of a regular 5 oz. tuna can and three small brass screws no more than 3/8" long. Since I didn't have plans I had to experiment. So, if anyone is reading this thread here's what I learned.
1. The top of the impeller to housing clearance is too close to put anything on top of the impeller.
2. The bottom has enough room to work - but keep it thin.
3. There is some pressure sensor in the system that shuts down if there is too much water pressure. I had a working model, but it kept shutting off after about 10 second of high pressure, then would cycle again. This cleared up when I cut down the size of the "improvement".
4. I won't cover all the little details except think about rust. Use a can and screws that won't rust quickly. It's easy to replace, but why if you don't have to?
Here's how:
1. Cut the bottom out of a 5 oz. tuna, chicken, etc. can. It's about 3 5/8 dia. and about perfect in final size.
2. Drill a tap hole in the very center. Then carefully cut a 1" hole using the tap hole as a guide. I used a 1" wood bit since it's very thin soft metal.
3. With tin snips or kitchen scissors, expand the hole until it fits snuggle around the ring on the bottom of the impeller.
4. Mark the diameter of the impeller on the metal disk. While doing this mark a continuation line of the impeller vanes onto the disk and another line extending from the impeller vane end through the impeller center to the outer edge of the disk. The idea is that you want to extend the vanes for more thrust of the water as the impeller turns.
5. Cut a line from the outer edge of the disk to the edge of the impeller line along the straight line from edge to center. This will be about 1/2" long.
6. Bend to 90 degrees the tabs along the vane lines so when it's fit in place it literally extends the vanes another 1" (approx.).
7. Fit the disk onto the impeller from the bottom with the vanes pointing up and rotate the disk so they line up with the impeller vanes.
8. Cut the bent up vane so that anything extending above the top edge is removed by at least 1/8". This will prevent contact with the upper housing.
9. Once cut to size and lined up properly drill three small holes in the disk and into the bottom of the impeller to fit your three brass screws. Screw it in place and replace everything.
To TEST - Before you replace everything. Screw the impeller in place and install the cover with 3 screws. Run it on rince cycle to make sure it doesn't stop and cycle. If it does simply use the tin snips to cut a little more off the outer edge of the disk and bent up vanes. Try again until it works right.
You'll end up with a lot more internal water stream pressure. I hope someone can use this.
It's the right time of year so - Merry Christmas!

|New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife
December 24, 2003
The Deer Classic is an annual event showcasing hunter entries in New Jersey's Outstanding White-tailed Deer Program, which was initiated in 1964. It includes categories for typical and non-typical antlered deer taken with bow, shotgun and muzzleloading rifle in addition to the 200-pound buck and 135-pound doe field-dressed weight categories. All antlered deer are scored using the Boone & Crockett Club system that gives credit to antler length, spread, number of points and symmetry. Age, health, genetics and nutrition are the major factors contributing to deer reaching trophy status.
Returning to display his state record Typical Muzzleloader deer is Marty French of Hunterdon County. French's buck scored 159 0/8 and was taken in 2001, surpassing the previous record by 7/8 of an inch. Another special feature at this year's Classic is a half-mount piebald deer from Monmouth County. Piebald coloration can include large portions of white fur along with the typical brown color.
In addition to the outstanding deer display, hunters can experience seminars by several deer hunting experts on Saturday and Sunday during the outdoor show. Division of Fish and Wildlife deer biologists will also be on hand each day to answer questions, provide information and score antlers for anyone who brings their antlers to the display area.
The Garden State Outdoor Sportsmen's Show will be held on Thursday and Friday, January 8 and 9 from 1 – 9 p.m.; on Saturday, January 10 from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. and on Sunday, January 11 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A special awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, January 11 for the top three 2002-2003 entries in each category.

Chapter 16 Summary
The war ends on September 2, 1945. On that exact day, the rains come, ending the longest drought in Drogheda history. The tanks have proven that they do, indeed, hold enough water for the household for ten years. Fee asks Meggie how Luke is. Meggie replies that he is the same Luke, saying he is just going to cut cane for a few more years to accumulate a bit more money for a station of his own. Fiona asks if Meggie will join Luke when he buys a station, and Meggie answers, "never!" Fees asks her why she does not divorce Luke and marry again, but Meggie primly responds that it is against the laws of the church.
Fiona and Meggie watch Justine and Dane at play. The two children could not be more different in temperament, but they are devoted to each other. Fiona...

did you say it? I heard you say it this Joy
we feel now busting out--it's enough! it's all
we need this sheer Joy of Being this Grace!
did you laugh it? I heard you laughing! Yes!
with such irresistible play your zany voice
drawing forth my own scandalous laughter--
a hilarity zinging from the Cosmic Big Bang!
no thoughts words or meanings just bliss
here now always this uncontainable bliss!
did you kiss me? I felt you kiss me kiss me
like the full moon kissed last night kiss me
how grass kisses each spring when it sprouts
did you sing the One Name birthing all names
our Secret Name which only silence knows?
yes you sang that Name our Holiest Name!
In these gloomy, stormy months of mid-January, we can let the weather's dreariness seep into our souls. But once we realize that the ultimate Source of our happiness, our Joy, is never outside us, but always and forever fountaining forth from the inmost core of our being--then we also know we have the power to return home to that Source whenever we choose. Such Joy is our birthright, the essence of what it means to be human, and Divine.
You're not here but everywhere there's only You
in the rhythm of my breathing now the grace of
Silence singing the dance of my fingers on keys
You're the Secret my scandalous inner child knows
that Cosmic Joy for which he willingly throws away
all his glitziest playthings even mimicries of love
You're my Clown's Face flipped on its ear laughing!
My Flash Gordon Decoder Ring a wild Jump Start
as my soul's dead battery recharges at forty below!
You're the Apple tossed up but not plunging down
the Ecstatic Maypole I cavort round like a holy fool
the Jigsaw Puzzle I'm boggled by can never solve
You're a Whiplash Windup on the pitcher's mound
that tasty Sweet Spot where my bat smacks the ball
the Sting of the line drive I just snared in my glove
You're Outrageous Bliss the Universe's Bull's-eye!
the Tickle the Giggling the Joke the Punchline!
inside outside upside downside there's only You
Where does God live, if not in every single moment of our lives. Experiencing Divine Presence means waking up, raising our consciousness, staying centered, savoring every instant. When we can do this, we realize that each sensation, each activity, each encounter, is Holy. When we can do this, then each breath we take is a prayer of gratitude, a psalm of praise!
