Mk6 Fiesta 5 Door Suggestions
Blawrence posted a topic in Ford Modification DiscussionsHi, I have a '06 Fiesta Style 1.25 in the 5 door variant, current modifications that have been done is that I've replaced the door handles and the boot handle to colour match the paint of the car that has come from a higher spec model as well had the back windows tinted. Just looking for some ideas/inspiration, as its a 1.25 modifications that I am looking to do are strictly cosmetic only. Ideas I had in mind was to get some alloy wheels but I'm not sure whether the ST170 wheels would look any good on the car as is without doing anything to the suspension Pictures of the car
Help with shaking/wobbling issue when driving
JRMA85 posted a topic in General ChatHi, Wondering if any mine can give some advice on a strange issue I am experiencing. I have recently started noticing that when I am driving over 40mph the car is shaking/wobbling. It feels like it is coming from the back but I am really unsure... I have in the last month had the brake discs replaced, all 4 wheels balanced to try and correct the issue but nothing seems to be fixing it. The model is Ford Focus, 2014 reg and I have only done 33,000 miles in it so far. Anyone got any ideas of advice? And yes I have arranged for it to go to a garage to check it but just seeing what others might think..
LIAMSAFC posted a topic in Wheels & TyresLad that done my MOT for me on my Fiesta seems to have lost my locking wheel nut and looks like the prick is just using every excuse possible to avoid me. Looks like i'll have to order a replacement, is the only option to contact Ford dealership for a new one? or is there a cheaper option? and how much will i likely get charged by a garage to get the current ones off? thanks.

New larger alloys or powder coating existing?
LocheeBhoy posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubLooking for some advice here... currently have my standard 16" Titanium alloys that are now showing a little bit of scuffing given they're just over three years old. looking to freshen them up by powder coating in either satin or gloss black, and also looking to lower the car by around 30mm, so question is do I get the existing wheels powder coated...or dig deep and shell out for larger rims in black? I can get the existing wheels done by a friend for just over £100 so this is also a factor. I keep hearing black cars shouldn't really have black wheels but I "think" I like that look but certainly open to opinion, once they're done, they're done! Lol Any photographs others may wish to share to get an idea of how the car might look would be great...look forward to hearing from you all soon
Where to get steel rims/winter tyres.
MickyBee posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, I have just bought a 1.0 2013 Ecoboost and it's pretty awful in the snow (I'm used to a big diesel). Where can I get some steel rims, so I can stick some winter tyres on? I was looking on https://www.mytyres.co.uk/ but I have no idea what FLH,STH and Turnier mean, or what the kW or ccm are. Thanks, Mick
Will 205/40/17 wheels fit a 2015 Fiesta zetec?
Jamesbrown_2000 posted a topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsHi guys, Found a nice set of 17' alloys online and was wondering if they'd fit my 2015 Ford Fiesta which currently has the standard wheels on it. If so would they cause any problems and would I need to get the speedometer recalibrated?
2017 Kuga Titanium Alloys Wheel Replacement
MarkNeen posted a topic in Ford Kuga ClubAttempting to find a replacement alloy wheel for a 2017 Ford Kuga Titanium 1.5 TDCI Hi all, I recently had a minor accident thanks to a patch of spilled diesel on the road and hit a high kerb with the front nearside alloy. The damage to the alloy is pretty bad and the tire is bulged, both of which need to go down the scrapyard. I'm having some real difficulty in finding a replacement alloy wheel - I have 17 inch 5-spoke doubles which are different to any that I can find online, even those on the official ford-accessories website. I've attached a photo of my alloys for reference. When compared to the ones on the Ford spares site, you can see that they are different (rim around the badge, shape of the traingular segments etc). I'm at a loose end now and am wondering if anyone knows where I can pick up a matching alloy please? I'm having to drive around on the spare space saver at the moment and really need a replacement. The dealership are being as useful as ***** on a fish too, so if anyone has any help or advice, that would be great. Thanks in advance. MarkNeen.

alloys Help fitting 17 inch alloys to my car
Zektic posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHey. Basically my Ford Fiesta 2013 came with 15 inch Steel wheels and I just bought 17 inch alloys to replace them with. However I don't know what size of tyres I will need to meet the same diameter or how changing them will affect my car. Yes I am an idiotic impulse buyer but could anyone help me out? I have an image of my current wheel size on my 15 inch wheels.
wheels Upsizing Wheels Fiesta
Zektic posted a topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsHello all. I bought 17 inch OEM ford alloys and I want to fit them onto my 2013 Ford Fiesta. I currently have 15 inch steel wheels with 195/50/R15 Tyres. I am aware that in order to keep the speedometer accurate I will have to match the same overall diameter of the wheel, although I can't figure out what size of tyre I will need to match the 15 inch wheels, I know it will have to be a lower profile but I can't work it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Nick54320 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi there, I have two queries, firstly when driving my 61 reg Ford Fiesta Zetec, when going under 10 mph and especially when turning, I hear a sorts of grinding noise, it doesn't affect the drive just doesn't sound right and I was wondering if anyone had any idea about this or experienced it before? Also, I have a space saver but now have acquired a spare alloy and I was just wondering whether it's possible in anyway to have a full spare in the boot? Whether anyone had done it? And whether if it was to go in, how big it would be? Im going to try it tomorrow but was just wondering if anyone had any experience. Thank you

Best aftermarket website
Sparkyshaw1265 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubNew to this site so hi everyone. Been looking through the posts and can't find what I'm after so this is the reason for this. I'm looking for a website or brand what basically will cover most parts of the fiesta mk7 2010, I'm just looking at improving all parts including suspension(drop links, anti roll bars, ball joints etc) all components for the brakes. Basically everything except the whole engine and chassis lol, would do a few things to engine but not much as is only a 1.25 zetec. Any help or links would be very much appreciated

New wheels - which do I buy?
organic_jo posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI need some new wheels for my Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec TDCI. I have found some Fox Racing FX004 Black Alloy Wheels which I like the look of but aren't sure if they're worth the cost. I use my car for general driving and commuting to work, but I enjoy driving so would like some nice wheels. Does anyone have any brands to suggest, my budget is £500.
Mot and alloy wheels
mastersmithson posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all. My car is due for an MOT so changed one of the tyres. On the alloy I saw a small lip and wondered if this would fail the MOT? The guy at tyre place wasn't sure.
Scuffed edge black alloy
DanielCron posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHey guys just after a bit of help! I have scuffed the edge of one of my 17" gloss black alloy wheels for my Fiesta Red Edition by accidentally colliding with what I thought was a smaller curb than expected. I have gone to my Trust Ford dealership for some advice/help but they said they don't know anywhere that would repair them since they're gloss black and have told me to ring around various other larger local Trust Ford dealerships but I'm having no luck... I'm yet to hear back from my current dealership after a week of being told to leave it when them! I have browsed online to see if I could find a brand new 17" gloss black alloy wheel but all I have found is ones with damage the same as mine or they aren't in gloss black. I'm actually trying to keep the car's value up as much as possible by looking after it, cleaning it out every so often/washing it because I'll be wanting to sell it soon and having one of the alloys damaged would probably knock it down a bit if I'm correct? Does anybody know where I could get a brand new alloy or if this is possible to be fixed and look brand new again(please ignore the dirt around the wheel, it just needs a wash)?
Alloy Wheel Upgrade: OEM or Aftermarket?
Adspam posted a topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsHi everyone, I've been happily driving my 2013 titanium fiesta around for about a year and am looking into progressively making her look a bit sportier. One of the quickest ways to achieve a better look is by upgrading the alloys, and the sensible yet tame 14 inch alloys that came as standard with this car are on my list of things to upgrade. I looked into getting OEM alloy wheels, but the prices are outrageous... it would cost me around £800 to get four wheels! And yet, some much more attractive aftermarket wheels are available for less than half the price. The question I want to know is, does buying aftermarket wheels dramatically affect resale? Would I find it very difficult to sell the car with non 'Ford' alloys? Theoretically I could just hang on to the old 14 inch ones until I wanted to sell, but it would be nice to just flog them. Is there a major reason why Ford wheels are so much more expensive? Have any of you guys/girls bought aftermarket alloy wheels and regretted it? Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

This is a digital version of broadside posters I've created in the Spring of 2016. This was original silkscreen printed on BFK Rives paper at the Printmaking building at Indiana University in Bloomington, under the supervision of Jenny El-Shammy. These books were entitled in Bodoni typeface, typeset in Caslon from Adobe Systems.This reflects Bradbury Thompson's style and usage of CMYK. It has text referring to the history of typography, in contrast to the evolution of high heeled shoes. This was a fun project to work with—I got to enjoy reading about the history of high heels, and design it in CMYK.

Diageo Warehouses - Cluny Bond Scotland
Technic Concrete Floors Ltd helps deliver storage capacity for the continued growth of the Whisky Industry on a global basis.
As one of the world's leading premi-um drinks companies, Diageo have invested significantly in their business in Scotland over recent years. The £150m investment at Cluny Bond, near Kirkcaldy in Fife forms a signif-icant portion of this investment. The 545 acre development will see the construction of 47 maturation ware-houses, each with the capacity to store 60,000 casks of Whisky before they are shipped to over 180 coun-tries worldwide.
Over recent years, Technic Concrete Floors Ltd have successfully completed numer-ous projects of a similar nature, with Clients such as Glen Moray in Elgin, and WM Grants in both Girvan and Dufftown. It was due to this level of expertise that Technic Floors were contacted at the design philosophy stage of the Cluny Bond project by Main Contractors ISG Group Plc. Following extensive consultation at the design stage, Technic for-mulated a solution with the Client's Engineer Blythe and Blythe which incorporated Dramix Steel Fibre re-inforcement into both the internal floor slabs, the external roads and hard-standings.
One of the major advantages of this design philosophy, was that it en-abled the floor slabs to be construct-ed utilising one of Technic�Somero SXP laser screeds. The SXP offers greater control than manual techniques on both tolerances and the vibration of the concrete, with the vibrating auger of the machine, and it's capacity to check the levels of the concrete 6 times per second. The high quality of service offered was continued through our on-site supervisors and operatives rigorous quality control system, and our high-ly skilled finishers ensuring that the floor slabs were completed with a high quality, durable finish and to the stringent tolerances specified with theConcrete Society Technical Report 34. Subsequent to this, further shrinkage control procedures were undertaken, by means of diamond saw-cutting in-duced joints on a 6 metre x 6 metre grid.
Technic Concrete Floors Ltd support team of Engineering, Commercial and Operational staff have ensured that the project has been completed to the highest standards, on time and within budget. It is due to this level of suc-cess at both Cluny Bond, and previous projects that Technic Concrete Floors Ltd consider themselves to be industry leaders, regardless of the type of floor slab required.

I turned 28 in May, so it was a good time to check in on my 30-by-30 list. I realized that, although I haven't blogged about all of them, I've been able to check off a couple items over the past few months. I've also got some checkmarks coming up.
Recently completed:
#6. Finish my master's: I graduated last May with my master's in Higher Education Administration. Shortly after, I secured a new position at U-M on the International Giving and Engagement team.
#13. Teach the dog how to ring a bell when he wants to go outside: So, the dog learned this, and then grew up a bit and now I am the one reminding him to go outside (because he's lazy and would rather sleep than go outside, especially when its cold or rainy out). Good enough for me — check!
He'd rather be inside on the couch anyway.
#14. Own a pair of designer shoes: For the wedding, I bought not one but two pair of Kate Spade shoes. Pretty sure that is as close to designer as I will ever get (even though I still drool over those little red-bottoms every time I see them — oh well).
Photo courtesy of studiOsnap, cropped to show the OMGSHOOZ!
#17. Own a really nice knife: One of the gifts my mom got us for our wedding shower was a Wustoff knife, and we've supplemented that knife with another, smaller one that I love. Great investment, those knives.
Knife from madre, complete with lucky penny.
#22. Get a professional massage: Another wedding shower gift, this time from my bridesmaids, was a couples massage for Troy and I to get before the wedding. I have to say… I didn't love it! But, now I know.
#29. Clean out my childhood room at my parents' house: While our house is being built, we are shacked up at my parents' house. Before moving all of our stuff in, I cleaned out every closet, drawer, and cupboard in the three rooms we would be utilizing. When we move into our new house and all of our belongings are gone, it'll finally be usable space!
#30. Take a dance class, of any kind: Another fringe effect of the wedding, about a week prior we decided we should really take a dance class. So we bought a Groupon for a place in Ypsilanti, and went for a mini-session. It wasn't much, but it was enough to make us look like we knew what we were doing during our first dance.
Although some moves just can't be taught…
Expected to be completed in the near future:
#1. Travel to another continent: I've been slated to go to Singapore next year for my new job. I'll likely be travelling to Europe next year as well.
#4. Go to a professional Detroit sporting event outside of Michigan: In the slightly nearer future (August), Troy and I are going to Pittsburgh to visit some friends and catch a Tiger's game at PNC Park. This would have been checked off sooner, but the spring training game we had planned to see in Florida earlier in the year got rained out.
#18. Build a house (not personally, but one for us to live in): It's happening!
More to come soon!

Hello guys,
I am having a lot of issues with our forms. Users complain that when they click on next to advance to the next page of the form, nothing happens. I thought that this was caused by Internet Explorer, but have had some users report the same problem in Firefox and/or Chrome. Plus, as much as we all dislike IE, it is still the most popular browser so I need to make my forms accessible to everyone.
I have not been able to replicate the problem myself but I have been getting that report consistently from my users.
Could you take a look and try to find out what could be causing the problem? The form is at www.worldstemcellsclinic.com/medical.html
Thank you very much!
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on July 08, 2013 at 05:31 AM
We recommend re-embedding the form using our iframe method: How to Get Form iFrame Codes. Specially, when a problem like this will happen.
Please try that and let us know for the result.

Thank you. I did that already. Like I said, I was not able to replicate the issue myself so I hope that this change you suggested will help my users. I will let you know if they still have difficulty.
Thank you!

The story "Babe and Me", by Dan Gutman is a fiction book, but it is based on an actual event from history. It is about a kid who plays baseball named Joe Shoshack. Joe lives in Louisville, Kentucky with his Mom and only sees his Dad every once and a while. He is an ordinary kid except he has a magical power. His power makes him able to use old baseball cards to travel back in time. In the story he uses his power to go back and solve a mystery, whether or not Babe Ruth actually called his home run shot in game three of the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs.
Joe took his trip back in time with his Dad. Not only did he get to meet Babe Ruth, but he got to sit in the dugout and watch game three and the called shot. While he was there he learned about the Great Depression and the Holocaust. Most important, he spent time with his Dad and got to know how losing most of his family to the Holocaust had effected him and had caused him not to spend much time with Joe and his Mom.
I really liked this book. I like it because it was about baseball and I learned a little bit about History and Babe Ruth. I was sad to learn that Babe Ruth was dumped at a reform school as a kid and didn't get to spend much time with his Dad. It made me feel better that Joe and his Dad made their relationship better. I am happy my Dad spends a lot of time with me.

68 Response to "HBP - Finished"
Katie's about halfway (can't give her too hard of time since she started reading a good 2 hours or so after I did this morning.
What do you all think?
I cried for the last hour of reading.7/16/2005 7:22 PM
Do you ALL believe that Snape ("Professor Snape, Harry") is evil now? Or, do you still believe in Dumbledore and his ability to judge people?7/17/2005 12:07 AM
Ditto with the crying (as I said b4, Dumbledore was my favorite).
The thought didn't cross my mind that Snape could actually still be good, but I'm not a good clue reader. It'd be nice.
I was kind of oppressed by the book. The heavy tone of it was a bit much for me. I read once that JKRowling said that she thought the books should be read by children the age Harry is in the book (so this book would be for 16 yr olds). I'm just concerned that this stuff is too horrific for the eight-year-olds out there reading it (i.e. Tom Riddle youth specifics, horcruxes, so many murders, the horrible werewolf, dead bodies). There was a LOT of yucky stuff in this book. What does everyone else think?
I guess in short I just feel really heavy after reading it, not light.7/17/2005 12:11 PM
Reading my comment the next day I have to add that there were parts I really loved in the book, too. I'm just ultra-sensitive and it was scary to me.7/17/2005 12:28 PM
Book Four scared me so much that I'm still disturbed over it being made into a movie. The books are for older children, the movies tend to be geared toward younger children - I'm not so sure with the subject matter from FOUR on.
I remember reading ONE and TWO to her edited when she was five/six. Hard to believe how much time has passed since we started this series.7/17/2005 12:29 PM
"HER" above is Katie. I had posted a little bit about her, but I'll let her post her own thoughts on the book.7/17/2005 2:33 PM
Okay, I really, really, really, really liked it. I'm glad Harry FINALLY made his move towards Ginny at least. I was sad Pro. Dumbledore died, but I knew he was going to, and I didn't cry untill the last chapter. This sounds stupid, but I started crying when Harry told Ginny he had to stay away from her and my tears redoubled at Ron and Hermione's bravery.
I hate Snape, and I don't care if he is a good guy, I still hate him. But I did find myself feeling sorry for Draco. It really wasn't his fault, they'd kill his parents if he didn't do it. I have to say my least favorite part of the book (besides P.D.'s death, of course) was Harry and Draco's fight in the bathroom, that for me was the hardest seen to read. I didn't even mind the dead bodies.
Can't wait untill the seventh book, the grand fanally as I am now reffering to it (how do you spell fanally?) It's gonna be a good one.
'Have to say that six was my favorite, it was just really good. JKRowling's writing is AMAZING and I'll be sad when the books are finally over.7/17/2005 5:37 PM
I'm glad you liked it, Katie. I read an interview with the guy who reads the books for the audio tapes and he said that he thought six was the best in the series also.
I was totally glad Harry finally got around to noticing Ginny, too. I loved the part where the love potion "smelled like something flowery he remembered from the burrow" :).7/17/2005 5:50 PM
Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. But you have to love what Hermione said it smelled like 'Ink and new books", I think mine would smell like old books and pencil shavings.7/18/2005 8:32 AM
I loved the book - couldn't put it down. It was so sad, but I didn't cry much, probably because Robert kept pestering me.
I was excited that Harry and Ginny got together too. When Rowling said the book answered a lot of questions, I was kind of curious. I have only read all of the books once and I borrowed them (not anymore, I'm going to own them all). I couldn't think of any questions that needed answering. Boy was I wrong.
After Snape killed Dumbledore I didn't consider the fact that he might still be good. There were just enough clues throughout the book to keep you guessing which side he was on. But after someone mentioned it, I started to wonder. There is a slight chance that when Dumbledore pleaded to him, he was asking Snape to kill him so that Draco wouldn't be forced too. Dumbledore probably knew he was going to die anyway. There was no time for anyone to make an antidote for the poison. Of course, I think that is unlikely. Snape is probably bad.7/18/2005 8:36 AM
Katie, I think you are right about Dumbledore having to die. With him around, Harry always leaned on him. I think that might have hindered his ultimate efforts to kill Voldemort. In the end, I think Harry has to face him alone.7/18/2005 10:58 AM
..okay, I've almost stopped crying. Good and Bad tears - so sad the D. is gone - I LOVED him! I'm even sad Fawkes is gone - wish he could have stayed on with Harry - so different from Sirius' death - where I felt betrayed and so lonesome - for Harry's sake - somehow this feels like Harry is the Chosen One - and he's ready. D. finished the preparations and so he was ABLE to go - tired, true, withered hand and all...
SNAPE - there HAS to be more that we don't yet know - D. wouldn't have been decieved - I just can't believe he was wrong.
Best book ever! Or, as Josh would say, "That was the best book I never read on my island!"7/18/2005 11:09 AM
gam - I think you're right. however unlikely it seems, unless it is completely proven otherwise, I think we should believe Dumbledore was right.7/18/2005 11:29 AM
I think so, too. I didn't really think of that option til Whit mentioned it. Snape had plenty of chances to betray more than Dumbledore alone. I think he & D must've worked it out as a possibility before hand. There has to be room for twists in book seven, right?7/18/2005 11:31 AM
Clues to why I think Severus is not working for Voldemort (or, why I think Dumbledore knew he was going to die - I think Dumbledore was dying from something that had happened over the Summer - that had made his hand black):
1) When Severus agrees to make the Unbreakable Vow, he agreed "quietly" - and then a "moment's silence" before he committs with "I will."
2) Dumbledore HIMSELF went to the Dursleys to pick up Harry, making sure they committed again to let Harry go "home" for a brief time and making sure they and Harry knew he comes of age at 17.
3) Harry FINALLY learned potions, which he really needed to do from Professor Snape (indirectly, but still)
4) When Harry asks Dumbledore about his hand, Dumbledore says, "You shall hear that story another time." My guess is that he'll hear that story from Severus.
5) Professor Snape tried really, really hard to get Malfoy to confide his plan in him - as Harry overheard.
6) Lupin's words mirror my own, "It comes down to whether or not you trust Dumbledore's judgment. I do; therefore, I trust Severus."
7) When Harry tells Dumbledore about his overhearing Professor Snape, Dumbledore says, "I think you might even consider the possibility that I understood more than you did." This, again, makes me think that Dumbledore knew Severus was trying to find out Malfoy's plan.
8) Dumbledore says (about Severus overhearing the prophecy and telling Voldy), "I believe it to be the greatest regret of his life." (this doesn't mean that it was Severus' apology that made Dumbledore trust him as Harry assumes)
9) Dumbledore says, "I am sure. I trust Severus Snape completely."
10) Professor Snape kept Dumbledore alive in the blackened hand incident "Had it not been for ... Professor Snape's timely action when I returned to Hogwarts, desperately injured, I might not have lived to tell the tale."
11) Even to Draco, at the end, he talked about trusting Professor Snape. "agree to differ" "I trust Professor Snape"
12) Dumbledore ONLY wanted Pro. Snape at the end. He didn't want Harry to get anybody else.
13) Dumbledore would never beg - especially not for his life. So, what was he asking Severus to do when he said, "Severus... please.."
14) Pro. Snape not only didn't kill Harry when he had the chance, he also wouldn't let anybody else kill him.
15) When Harry said to Severus, "kill me like you killed him, you coward--" Severus screamed "Don't call me a coward." in PAIN.
Of course, all of this could be misdirection in the other direction. JK is good at misdirection. Did you figure it was Pro. Snape who was the half-blood prince or did you entertain for a moment the thought that it could be Harry's Mom? Good writing!7/18/2005 11:34 AM
It occurs to me that maybe Dumbledore wasn't dying from something to do with the hand, but knew he'd have to sacrifice himself (sort of like Obi Wan) for Harry to be where he needed to be to finally kill Voldy.
Mom & Angie - nice to see you on here!!!!
Mom, your comment about Josh absolutely cracked me up.7/18/2005 11:36 AM
#4 above is wrong - I guess to some extent he already heard about that story from Dumbledore and that Pro. Snape cured him. I guess it will just be severus and not pro snape now, though... weird to think of no Hogwarts.7/18/2005 11:58 AM
I've been meaning to post on Whit's log and I guess Harry Potter is the right place to do so. Ok, so I haven't read the book yet. But I HAVE been expecting Prof. D. to die and it looks like book 6 is his end. It makes perfect sense from the story arc for Prof. D. to die. Harry must learn to stand on his own in order to fulfill his destiny. If his destiny is to take Prof. D's place as the greatest wizard of his time, he must face Voldemort on his own, without the crutch of Prof. D. The only way for Harry to truly "come into his own" is for Prof. D. to die. Sad, but from a storytelling standpoint it makes perfect sense.
As for Snape, that's an interesting one. If you believe the death of Prof. D. was necessary, as I do, you also have to assume that Snape's role was also necessary. I believe that Snape will ultimately be redeemed. Did I mention that he also happens to be my favorite character. To me, he's the most human of all of the characters in her book -- he's got real issues of self-esteem and self-loathing which makes him very believable. Plus, Alan Rickman plays him in the movie and that makes him perfect as far as I am concerned!
Oh well, I sure have a lot to say for someone who hasn't yet read the book! LOL!7/18/2005 1:13 PM
lol, Laura - good to see you here.
The book is really very good. I hope you enjoy it.7/18/2005 1:24 PM
I would also like to say that it just occurred to me to look up Sirius' brother's name and it is (wait for it) - REGULUS!!!! Now, if his middle name starts with an A......7/18/2005 1:28 PM
Lol, Laura. Your comments were pretty observant, having not read the book yet. I also love Alan Rickman.
Great points, Whit! I bet you're right. If Snape really is in the right, though, hopefully he's not wrongfully killed before the truth comes out.7/18/2005 1:34 PM
P.S. I LOVED Tonks and Lupin!7/18/2005 1:38 PM
And MAYBE he was the one sent to kill Regulus and because he's a good guy he didn't kill Regulus... Oh, whatever. Who knows who RAB is...7/18/2005 1:39 PM
I loved all of the romance in this one.7/18/2005 1:55 PM
Great idea! I couldn't figure out who RAB would be. do we know for sure he died?7/18/2005 2:18 PM
The quote was from Sirius (I think) and was: "From what I found out after he died, he [Regulus] got in so far, then panicked about what he was being asked to do, and tried to back out. Well, you don't just hand in your resignation to Voldemort. It's a lifetime of service or death"
So, I don't know. Guess we'll find out. It'd be kind of cool, though!

You guys are thinking way too hard on this one.
I have to say I'd always hated Snape until the last book. You really got to know him in book 5 and I have a really hard time believing he's all bad.
I didn't cry in this one as much as in the last - but I also had Josh sitting next to me the last chapter saying "I'm not bugging you Mom, I'm bugging your pony tail". A little hard to cry when that's happening.
Like Candi I'm a little let down after this one. Definately not my favorite. It's more educational than anything. You learn a lot. But like the last one it leaves you sad.7/18/2005 2:45 PM
It would be. I loved all the romance too (except Ron and Lavender, that just sicked me out! Luckely it ended, who gives someone a necklace that says "My Sweetheart"?) Tonks and Lupen, didn't see that one coming.
Mom says that Lupen is kind of like the new Dumbledore, I love Lupen!
Okay, okay, you've finally got me thinking that Snape's a goodguy. I actually felt sorry for Draco in this one! (I think I already said that, sorry, I'm losing track!) Can't wait 'till seven (though I think I'm going to have to, for a L-O-N-G time).7/18/2005 2:48 PM
Actually, Stephen is the one who said Lupin is kind of the new Dumbledore - I think Harry is the new Dumbledore.
Seven better come out soon!!!7/18/2005 2:49 PM
Hi AmyK. I'm thinking about it cause I'm sick in bed and don't feel like obsessing over anything else while I sit here knitting.
Josh is adorable.7/18/2005 3:05 PM
Josh is the funnyest kid! "That was the best book I never read on my island!" LOL! Tell Josh I said HI! And Ty and Conner and Thomas and Nay.
- Stephen K. says:7/18/2005 3:26 PM
by far my favorite so far. i agree with laura that snape has been my favorite because of his depth and the feeling that he's a realy person with multiple aspects to his personality. i was so mad at him for a bit that i didn't want him to be good, because if he is i didn't want him to have killed D. it was easier to think of him as bad until i calmed down and realized he's been trying the whole book to keep draco from making mistakes that he made and that he had to kill D or the others could have done worse than kill him, or at least done it in a worse way.
i'm a wuss, but i cried through this whole book, the romance was all very sweet; no kate, not lavender, but everyone else. harry preparing to become a man with dumbledores help was the theme i thought of this book. his year of preperations with dumbledore showing harry that voldemort is human or at least kinda, and how to defeat him and then showing him that even the great D is also human. the best thing obi-wan ever did for luke was to let himself be killed by vader.
- Carrie says:7/18/2005 4:29 PM
Whit, you're going to laugh at me. I went and bought the book Sat. I couldn't wait. I am going to give this book to my sister for helping so much these past two weeks. It would just be crazy for me to have two of them. I'm almost finished. I have just the last chapter to finish, but I couldn't do it! I have to prepare myself. I don't know what else to say about it.
After the last book I said that I thought Professor Dumbledore needed to die in order for Harry to be able to progress and become the man everyone know he will become.
I've always hated Professor Snape and the juries still out on if he is good or bad! I thought that maybe Professor Snape was faking killing Professor Dumbledore. That maybe it was for the reason that they both knew how the "Dark Lord" wanted him dead and they wanted to make it seam like he was dead until Harry saw his body at the base of the tower.
I really liked this book the most of all six so far. Tonk and Lupin I had my suspions and I guess Whit was right all along about Harry and Ginny.
Harry was less anger this book, which I liked. I liked the trick he played on Ron with the luck stuff. I was really worried about Harry there for a minute until I found out it was all a trick. I was thinking Harry had let down his standards so that they could win a game.
Sorry I didn't cry when Professor Dumbledore died, because I expected it all along.
I started to think the half-blood prince was either Professor Snape or Harry's mom but not til after Professor Snape requested to see Harry's books. I had thought that Harry's mom might be, because Professor Slughorn was always praising her to Harry. But then I thought she wasn't half blood anything that we know about. And Harry is learning potions from Snape through that book. So in the end he really didn't learn anything for Professor Slughorn.7/18/2005 4:34 PM
I cried way more than in the other books. I cried during three and some during five, but this one was a tearjerker.
The two lines that made me cry the most were D saying to H in the cave, "I'm safe, I'm with you" and when Harry told the M of M that he was Dumbledore's man. (sniff sniff)7/18/2005 4:37 PM
I suspected Harry & Ginny way early in the books, but I had no clue about Lupin & Tonks.
I didn't think of Harry's mom as the HBP. I was pretty sure it was Snape after the way he reacted to the Draco cursed in the bathroom thing. It was weird how he said something about himself being the HBP at the end, though.7/18/2005 4:41 PM
Whit - an addition to your first point. Snape didn't hesitate to make the first two parts of the vow. But when asked to promise that if Draco failed, he would finish the job, Snape hesitated before repeating the words.7/18/2005 7:21 PM
Wow! I LOVE this! It's so fun to read everyone's take - I cried when Fleur showed her true colors with Bill and I cried when Harry told Ginny that they couldnt' be together - cause I'm not certain they ever will be - I want them to be, but I'm not sure there is a place in Harry's life for her - I keep hoping...I think this book showed the real Harry - the anger and temper was gone and now he is resolute, but I think it took D. finally educating him - I think it was what he needed and longed for all along. I worry that his hatred of Snape will be a problem for him -7/18/2005 7:23 PM
AND...I REALLY hate the grammatical and spelling errors I make when typing computer posts! I think we need a return to quill and parchment!7/18/2005 8:10 PM
Hey, the book had typos - why not us???
Carrie, if it were me I would have bought it also - oh, wait... I DID buy an extra cause mine wasn't here "early enough" - I will remember for book 7 that they have them at Walmart for $15.95 with no line at 7am.
Angie, nice additional point.
Candi, I cried way more too and the parts you mentioned were two of my biggest "tear jerkers" as well. I can still cry thinking of Dumbledore's line to Harry. --sniff
Of course I knew DD would die - but I still sobbed my eyes out.
I knew who the HBP was as soon as he opened the book (but I expected Harry to learn something from Pro. Snape this book).
Carrie, don't forget that Harry learned the most important thing in the world from old Sluggy - how to kill Voldy!!!! That's why DD wanted him at the school so bad.
Mom, I was impressed with Fleur too - I really didn't expect it (although she showed real love of her sister in FOUR so I should have given her the benefit of the doubt)...
My biggest concern for Severus is his lack of "love" - which is the most powerful thing. I think DD may have been the one he loved and I'm not sure how that will impact book 7.7/19/2005 4:28 PM
My bigest 'Tear Jerkers' were: Harry Telling Ginny he couldn't love her.
Harry Telling MoM he was 'Dumbledore's Man Through and Through'. I didn't cry when D died either, but I cried at his funeral.
My fav. part in the last part of the book was when Harry kept having to try not to laugh, it's something Dumbledore would do, keep calm and humerous even in the darkest of times. My fav. Dumbledore quote is, and always will be:
"Nitwit! Odment! Blubber! Tweak!"
- justcinful says:7/19/2005 8:37 PM
Okay... I am not going to read the comments, lol. But I must confess that I now have to start to read the whole series. I am a tad bit behind, aren't I?
I have seen the 3 HP movies, but I know that there are differences between the books & the movies. So I shall have to either splurge for the books, or hope that the library has them available for borrowing.7/19/2005 10:17 PM
Or, get the audiobooks and listen to them on your trip to Florida!!7/20/2005 7:23 AM
I think most libraries have the books, but there's a good chance you will encounter a waiting list. I don't think they have the budget to buy enough books to meet demand.
- Ginny-Gin-Gin says:7/20/2005 11:21 AM
I think you all are crazy for loving Snape! I dislike him with a great passion. I think he is not a good guy because he killed P. Dumbledore. He may have had some loyalties but when Voldermort came back and started looking for him he backed out.
I really like all the romanace in this one. I don't think Ginny will let Harry drop her like a hot potato. I think he will be stuck with her whether he likes it or not! I was proud of Fleur for staying with Bill. I actually thought that Tonks was in love with someone but they refused her (she was too sad over Sirius's death, not even Harry was that sad!) I wonder if they're kids will have werewolf genes? I thought for sure that Ron and Hermione would hook up in this one! (Well, they almost did.) I'm glad that Ron broke up with Lavender. I agree with Katie who would give someone a "My Sweetheart" necklace? I feel like hurling!
I was so sad when Dumbledore died. Suprisingly though I didn't cry! (That's a real shocker because I cry all the time!) I couldn't cry though because one, I was in denial and two, my aunts said they would KILL me if I said or did anything (they haven't finished it.) I was HYSTERICAL when Sirius died in the fith one. Aunt Amy couldn't stop laughing because I was crying so hard!
I think that RAB is someone who will be in the next book. Harry with find RAB and then RAB will help him with the remaining horaxes.7/20/2005 12:54 PM
I didn't say I love Snape - I think he can be a very mean person. But, I still believe that he only killed DD on DD's orders. I think it was "part of the plan" and I think that Snape had a hard time doing it (remember that he was overheard fighting with DD about something?) and didn't want to do it. But he was strong and is a good wizard.
Aunt Whit7/20/2005 2:01 PM
If we are supposing that Snape is still good, they could have been arguing about who should die. I think they both knew Malfoy was not going to kill Dumbledore. Because of the vow, this meant that either Dumbledore or Snape had to die. Dumbledore could have been trying to convince Snape that he had more to offer, so he should be the one to live and help Harry defeat Voldemort. As a spy, the info Snape could provide to Harry might be more valuable than anything more Dumbledore could give.7/20/2005 2:50 PM
I am the one who loves Snape; not your Aunt Whit -- she's too nice to like the bad guy. Me, on the other hand, I always like a good villian!!
Tell your mom to hurry up and finish the book so she can get on here and yell at me for liking Snape.7/20/2005 4:10 PM
lol - I do love to DESPISE Snape. ;-)
- Carrie says:7/20/2005 4:30 PM
Who ever wants to listen to the Audio books let me know I have them on MP3 Files and will be more than willing to share.
Whit, I do have to admit that I almost cried on the last chapter, but I caught myself in time to keep my emotions under control.
I now have three HP6 Books. Amazon sent me two copies. Don't ask me I'm at a loss. I had my brother check my mailbox on his way back from Idaho. And low and behold there was a copy of HP6. And I think they UPS me a copy as well. I need to ask Stephen for sure.
Anyway, I realized the reason that Dumbledore wanted old Snughorn at the school. I also realized that he's story was important to solving the problem of the Dark Lord. But it was kind of weird that Harry thought the Half Blood Prince was so great and said that he had learned more from the Prince than Professor Snape, until he found out who the prince really was.
Now I want the last book ASAP. I'm not sure I will be able to wait patiently either.7/20/2005 4:30 PM
Until Saturday, I didn't own any of the Harry Potter books. Book 6 arrived on Saturday and I only took a day and a half to finish it. Books 1-5 arrived today. (Robert ordered them for me after I was so excited about reading book 6. He figured I would enjoy having the rest of them too.) I am forcing myself to not open them until I am completely ready for the 2 week vacation we are leaving for in 4 days. I am so excited to read them all again.
- Cynth says:7/20/2005 5:06 PM
Hmm as for liking Sanpe I do not, as for thinking he did it on D orders I do. P D would never ever, ever, ever beg for his life. He has never been afraid to die, if you have any questions of that reread book one.
I cried tons reading this book. I too was in denile of D death. I did not start bawling until Hagrid saw the body. I thought that the spell hit the locket thereby distroying part of Voldemorts soul and saving D. It was not so. I cried so hard.
I knew that he had to die. In fact Dave and I had discussed that it would be this book that he died in. I just did not want him to die.
Book 5 disturbed me more then this book. Though I must admit that UNbridge working at the office sill in book 6 was rather crazy! You just want to hit the stupid Minster for keeping her there!
Lets all remember that it is Hermione that is excelling in Runes. Yes they are going to do it alone. I do not believe that they shall have help. Perhaps in finding the places but they shall be the one to obtain the items.
My favorite line in this book "Dumbledore's man through and through"
That was a very hard line to not cry on.7/20/2005 8:46 PM
Wow, after reading that everyone was so emotional during the last part of the book, I asked Ben if he cried. He said he "became a bit misty". That means it's most definitely a tear jerker, lol.
- Ginny-Gin-Gin says:7/21/2005 12:09 AM
Thank you!7/21/2005 9:35 AM
We know we're nuts!
I kind of wanted to hit the MoM througout this whole book, but not as much as in book5. Ron and Hermione were kind of together, her crying on his shoulder in the end, that was where I started crying. I'm pretty sure Ginny's not going to let Harry drop her, and I'm pretty sure Harry didn't want to. They're still together, just more carefully. After all, it was Dumbledore that said Love is the most powerfull thing.
I hated/loved the whole suspence, becouse I saw my mom crying so I wondered who died. I thought it was a lot of people, though even as I worried that they wouldn't be able to save Ron from the poisen I was about 70% positive that it was Dumbledore that died, not Ron. But I also thought it could be Hagrid (in one part, I always end up thinking the worst of new people, but the funny thing is I really liked Moody in book4 and he was bad and I hated Sluggy and he was good!). Actually, even if Snape was bad I'd probably like him, becouse I too like a good villan (they're especially fun to write, but I'm not too great at my villans! Wish I could do something as good as Voldy).
This book asked a lot of questions, and I still can't wait till seven (anyone got a time turner? I'll go into the future and get it!).7/21/2005 10:08 PM
The anonymous post was from Robert. He couldn't figure out how to post his name. At least that's his story. I think maybe he didn't have the courage to tell you all what he really thought. :)7/22/2005 11:31 AM
That's funny. Hi Robert.
- Glenda says:7/22/2005 8:24 PM
Ok, I am not done reading all the post's but most of them I have read and I must say...ARE YOU CRAZY!?! SNAPE IS CRAZY BAD!! NO I DON'T CARE IF YOU SAY THAT HE HAD TO KILL P.D. He didn't even think twice. Oh well, Yes I cried more in this book then any other. Also the new minister of magic what was his name.. R..B? Just a thought. He was an Auror after all. Well I am going to go I need to pick up melissa at work.. This is Janet I will get my own identity soon!!7/22/2005 9:55 PM
I've finally agreed with mum (sorry, all this HP) that Snape's a goodguy, but I still don't like him. I take more of a Lupen point of veiw, I trust D. enogh to beleive Snape's good, but I still don't like him. Oh well, I guess we'll find out 'next book.7/23/2005 2:29 PM
I read the first HP book yesterday. I noticed a lot of foreshadowing. They mentioned a lot of things that I didn't notice the first time through, but that meant something after I had read the other books.
For instance, at one point Harry says that he feels like Snape is reading his mind. Then in book 5 we find out he is quite good at that branch of magic.
Also, the motorcycle Hagrid comes on when he drops off Harry with the Dursleys at the beginning was borrowed from Sirius Black.
Nothing earthshattering, but pretty cool.7/24/2005 5:46 PM
I'm still loving it - all these days later - just little thoughts here and there. I have never re-read any of the books, but I'm going to go back and do that, now - waiting for seven - I'll have time and be prepared for the grand finale.
- Andrea B. says:8/02/2005 10:41 AM
I was too impatient to read all of the responses before I posted my thoughts. I will read them after. My thoughts are as follows:
Snape is probably the most complex character in the book. I think he killed Dumbledore because he had made the unbreakable vow. I'm still not convinced that he is evil. I know, I know. But I trust Dumbledore's judgement, and he believed in Snape, therefore...I think the jury is out.
ALSO: my first thought on finishing was "What a downer!" But then I thought that this is the Empire Strikes Back of the Harry Potter books. Get what I mean? No resolution, just the crux of the conflict. The next book will be the Return of the Jedi of the Harry Potter books, complete with cute little ewoks and everybody's happy ends with a song and everything.
That's what I think.
Plus, audio books are brilliant. I can do all of my very busy mom stuff while "reading." Three cheers for audio books! (My son used to think they were saying "Free cheese")8/02/2005 4:20 PM
FREE CHEESE!!! Wow, that would be so cool. lol.
Oddly enough, I wasn't as down after this one as a couple of others. I feel like Harry really grew up and I was happy at the end - like he's ready to face what he has to in the next book (eeek - the last one!!!)8/02/2005 5:26 PM
I am wondering about the spell P.D. used to keep Harry safe at his anut and uncles. If the spell P.D. put on him stopped working when he died Then will the other be broke too? But then i need to go back and check and see if it says P.D. did the spell, i am thinking it is said strong magic was used.
I think P. snape is good. i am agreeing that P.D. and snape had an agreement too. maybe even an unbreakable vow.and that is why he did not hesitate when P.D
said please. My Dh makes fun of me when i cry from reading books or movies, so i went and grabbed my allergy eye drops and made it look like my eyes were bothering me. I liked this book, i love the whole lot of them. will be re- reading them to get ready for 7 in most likely about 2 years from now. boo hoo.8/02/2005 7:22 PM
Yes, I agree that P. SNAPE is good, but I don't like him. Or I do. I like his depth, I like the way he's written, I don't like him personally. Like I've said before, I take a Lupen look at him. I don't hate Snape, I just don't like him.
I really liked the end too, I really liked Harry in this book, I didn't like him much in the last one.
I was also kind of mad at D. last book, from a Harry point of veiw. I don't know.
I can't beleive it's the LAST book. I'm ready to cry (I won't, but I might when I finish BK7). I was sad when some miner series I've read (DELTORA QUEST) was over, and this is HARRY POTTER, I'm not sure I'll be able to stand it.
I just hope the next book is l-o-n-g.8/02/2005 7:26 PM
I'm pretty sure the strong spell was the love his mother gave him by dying in his place.
I cried my eyes out in this one - the next one will probably kill me.8/02/2005 7:29 PM
Oh, and I forgot to say "FREE CHEESE for audio books!!!!"
I listen as I work all the time. I joined audible and I love it!!8/07/2005 2:04 PM
There was a different spell that Dumbledore put on the Dursley's house. In book 4 Voldemort tells his Death Eaters that even he can't touch Harry when he is at the Dursley's house. Also, Dumbledore insists that Harry return to the Dursley's after the school year is over, even if it is only for a week.

Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
I know it sounds weird but this is the set of tools I keep in my kitchen under the sink. My kitchen connects to my living room which also connects to my wash and laundry room and is open to all three bedrooms in the home so it's sort of the central place for storing tools.
This kit was given to me for my birthday one year and I absolutely love it. To begin with, there are dozens of screwdriver heads to choose from. I can have my choice of screwdriver heads ranging from thin to thick. I have flathead bits, starshaped bit, the bits with six points, and of course philips heads to choose from. This kit also has a bunch of bits that fit in my Craftsman drill.
The bits I love most are the hole boring bits. There is a variety of sizes and I often use them in my jewelry making but they came in handy when I moved. I use the hole boring bits to make holes for new wiring, cables, and I used the biggest one recently to help cut out a circular hole for a new deadbolt. This is definitely a nice set. The tools in my kit are large for household tasks and small for fine tasks such as drilling small holes for jewelry wire and thread. It's a great set and it's warrantied.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
I purchased this drill and screwdriver bit set when I began getting into my photography hobby more full time. I could not afford to purchase the amazing wooden photography props I kept finding. This kit contains drill bits that are good for use on wood, metal, and plastic. There is also an extensive amount of screwdriver bits that include Phillips, flat head, hex, and Allen styles. I use the drill bits to drill holes into my projects before placing screws so as not to split the wood. I also do this when hanging things on our walls at home to ensure a secure hold. I have not found a project yet to tackle that this set can not accommodate. I love the organization and carry case which keeps all the bits in their own place and organized by size to easily find the size I need. For the price I would buy over and over and recommend to all. The pieces are hardened steel and have not broken even when I forced them a couple times after getting frustrated with a few projects.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
I already owned a Craftsman drill and drive kit so when I received the Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit for Christmas I figured it wouldn't get much use from me, but I was wrong. This kit has every single drive bit and drill bit I could imagine. These bits are high quality and I don't see them failing me anytime soon. I have already used several drill bits to do some work around the house and I found them to be extremely efficient on first attempt. I was able to drill several holes through a couple 2x4s effortlessly with no resistance. I was able to do this with a low powered drill because the tips of the drill bits are sharp. I also used two of the hex bits to tighten a couple loose screws in a office chair and a ultrabook. The hex bits were cut properly, which made tightening a breeze. The bits lock into the screw slots with no wiggle room and good depth to prevent stripping. I would definitely recommend the Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit to any one looking for every imaginable drill and drive bit packed nicely in to a durable case.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
I bought this Craftsman accessory set and a tool bag to go with it as an early birthday present for myself quite a few years back. So far, it has not disappointed me in any way, shape, or form.
These tools have lasted me for years; I haven't broken a single one since I got them. They're made of strong, hardened steel, and they came with a guarantee, which was very reassuring to me. This set also comes with all the standard accessories and tools needed for the average project. It has drill bits, screwdriver bits, spade bits, everything you need.
I like how durable the case that comes with it is. I bought a separate case to go with the tools, but I actually ended up using it for other tools since the one that comes with this is so great. It stores all the pieces very well; none of them are loose when I open the case.
I would definitely recommend this case to absolutely anybody who is thinking about doing any type of project.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
This set is just another amazing part of the amazing Craftsman brand. Not only does it have a multitude of Phillips and Flathead screwdriver bits, but it also has driving bits that often come in handy. With 100 pieces, this set truly has everything you might need for your project. I know that if I am in need of a piece for my drill, I can go to this set and find what I am looking for. I also love that this set is made of such good material, making it durable and long lasting. I don't have to worry about going to replace it in a couple years, but can instead make plans to pass it down in the family. If you are looking for a nice gift for someone that they can actually use and that will come in handy for years to come, I would highly recommend the Craftsman 100 piece Accessory Kit. Not only will be well welcomed, but you will be assured that you are giving that person a high quality gift.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
I am not the handiest person when it comes to tools and projects around the house, but this 100 piece accessory kit has made me quite the handyman. I am able to do all of the little projects that my wife asks me to do for her. This kit has a ton of stuff that any and every man needs for his workshop. There are tons of great drill bits ranging in a lot of different sizes for a wide span of projects. One of my favorite things about this kit is that it is so small and compact. It is easy to store and easy to take along with me if I need to travel with it. I can simply slide it under the seat of my car. If you are someone that is on a small budget (maybe a newlywed couple), this is the set for you. It is very reasonably priced for everyone. The Craftsman 100 Piece Accessory Kit is a top of the line product when it comes to quality. Craftsman pulled out all of the stops when it came to designing this. Overall, this has been a great purchase for me and has been used countless times. I highly recommend it.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
I have a part-time job as a handy man and use a lot of different tools for my job. I love this 100-PC Craftsman Accessory Kit as there is literally every size drill bit you will need. I have a Craftsman 20V drill and these bits fit it perfectly. It's made out of steel so it's very durable and made to last a lifetime. I've had problems with other bits rusting because of the high moisture in my garage, but even after owning this for several years and leaving a few lying around these have yet to get any rust on them. The carrying case is also made very well and keeps all the bits neat and organized. I keep these in my trunk half the time because I use them at work. I have to take them around from one house to another, so the carrying case is perfect for my needs. These are a perfect gift for a husband, father, or other male relative, just make sure they have a drill first. If they don't own a drill, I suggest buying them a Craftsman drill, as it also makes a great gift that can goes perfectly with these drill bits. It's the perfect tool for a handy-man, home improvements jobs, and even crafts. Not matter if your a man or woman, you will love these drill bits.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
The Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit has everything you need in one easy set. I use this with a non-craftsman and Craftsman drill and have no issues with them. It's great that Craftsman fits tools that aren't Craftsman makes. That makes me admire the brand even more.
This tool has every thing you need for drilling purposes. I use the drill bits most frequently and none have shown any signs of being unusable like many other drill bits out there. The case looks big in the picture but it's actually quite small, don't let this fool you. There is a lot in this set and at 29.99 or 17.99 if you can catch it on sale, it outdoes almost every brand out there.
Having this kit around has drastically improved my project time. I don't have to go from drill to screw driver case, everything someone needs is in this kit.
The tools fit snug into the case, so you won't be opening up the case and finding pieces and bits flying everywhere. It's made of solid plastic and weights around four or five pounds, so it's not difficult to carry around either. I have one set in my garage and another in my truck tool box along with a Craftsman drill.
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
The craftsman one hundred piece tool accessory kit is one of the best wedding presents that I have ever received! These tools are built to last and I have not broken a single on since the six years that I have owned them! The pieces are made from hardened steel. I also like the fact that the tools come with a lifetime guarantee. The drill bits fit the craftsman drill perfectly, and I'm not sure if they will work with any other drill. I would not recommend that, however, because craftsman also makes the best drills. This kit comes with a lot of versatile drill bits that I have used to drill wood, metal and masonry. I stored the pieces in a durable carrying case, which was included with the set. I liked the case because it keeps all of the accessories in one place so that they do not get lost. I highly recommend this set because it will help the handyman complete many projects for years to come!
Comments about Craftsman 100-PC Accessory Kit:
This Craftsman accessory kit includes several types of bits (drill bits, screw bits, spade bits) that I used quite often and that are normally sold separately. I have enjoyed being able to use the different types in one convenient case (without having to spend the money to buy a set of each type of bits separately). However, that does add the downside of needing to carry around a much larger case (my other set of Dewalt drill bits fits in my drill case, so that design is much more convenient). The bits work well in my drill, although the regular drill bits occasionally have a little difficulty being tightened (if the drill isn't tight enough on them, they'll get stuck in the hole while the drill spins around them). I have not tried using the Craftsman warranty on them, but I have heard that it does not cover broken drill bits, since they can be broken easily in normal use.

Jim Whitehead's campaign has responded to Broun's press release yesterday which accused the former of "posturing on immigration and abusing Charlie Norwood's good name." The end result? It looks like Broun brought a knife to a gunfight — and then got hosed down with lead.
From Whitehead's release (entitled "BROUN FUNDRAISING WHILE NORWOOD FOUGHT CANCER"):
Paul Broun, MD, was sending out fundraising letters to run for Congressman Charlie Norwood's seat as early as 2005 while Norwood was still battling cancer.
"I pray for Charlie to be returned to good health," Broun wrote in December, 2005, "however in my heart, after much prayer and consultation, I have a deep assurance that I must prepare for a future campaign. What I have been doing these past few months is preparing for the moment – whether very soon, or further into the future, that our Congressman is not a candidate for re-election…As of the date of this writing, I have received firm financial pledges of more than $250,000!"
The most damning statement, though, was this, made in response to Broun's accusation that Whitehead's campaign was "abusing [Norwood's] name":
"Supporting Charlie's positions is not abusing his name," said former Norwood Deputy Chief of Staff John E. Stone, who represented Whitehead in the forum, and served under Norwood in the 10th District office since 1994. "Sending out fundraising letters to run for Charlie's seat while he was recovering from cancer surgery is abusing Charlie's name." Stone said Norwood actually read Broun's letters while fighting to recover.
…"Everyone who loved Charlie and knew about these letters was outraged at the time," said Stone, "but for Dr. Broun to then have the gall to criticize anyone over using Charlie's name is so far over the line that this behavior can no longer be ignored. Georgia voters need to know about this behavior before making their decision in this election."
"Charlie actually found some humor in this," Stone added. "When he checked back into Inova Hospital in December after his cancer returned, the first thing he asked me to do for him was to look out the window to see if Paul Broun was circling overhead yet."
Emphasis added. Ouch; score another for Whitehead's camp in the battle of the volleys.

Genius Convention
Hope was sleeping when I walked into her room. When she saw me, she began screaming for me to come and pick her up. We managed to go the entire day without a sedative! Hope was sleeping comfortably most of the day and didn't have a need for it. It was a blessing to know that although she's on a lot of pain medication, she no longer needs the sedative as well.
Today we were finally able to give Hope some food! She started feeding at 2 mls an hour and appears to be tolerating it well. We're still not sure if she'll receive her scope or not, that should be discussed tomorrow. The top of Hope's PICC line is not looking well, it's beginning to get pussy. This is a terrible sign and could result in us losing the line.
A few days ago they mentioned that there was a small clot at the top of Hope's PICC line. I never gave it much thought, I expected her to clot without her blood thinners. Unfortunately, this is a major problem and could turn out very badly for Hope. With the line infection starting up again, they may be forced to pull the line. If they pull out the line, the clot will dislodge from the PICC and could go anywhere. They worry is that the clot would head to Hope's brain and cause some serious problems or a stroke. This obviously makes us nervous and adds more stress to the situation. Hope's blood thinner dose was doubled today in an effort to dissolve the clot. This could easily cause Hope's bleed to start up again. There doesn't appear to be any easy options these days.
Tomorrow at 1 pm we will be attending a genius convention. The lead intensivist, 2 cardiologists, anesthetist, GI specialist and the hematologist will all be sitting down with Shawn and I. During this meeting, we will be discussing the next steps for Hope. Please pray for us as we go into this meeting and make vital decisions for Hope's future. Please pray that Hope's clot quickly dissolves and does not cause further problems as well.
Today we were told that Hope is stable and could easily be transferred to the ward tomorrow or the next day. This means we will have a lot less time as a family and life becomes even more challenging. I really struggle with balancing my life when Hope is on the ward. We are working to get our insurance company to approve some private care at the hospital. With 3-1 nursing care, we are not able to leave Hope alone and truly need the help. We were denied it, in the past, because Hope is already considered to be under the care of nurse. We're praying they understand our need to leave the hospital and see that Hope needs more attentive care.
Hope's antibiotics need to run for 6 weeks. As a result, they don't see any way to have her out of the hospital by Christmas. We are now hoping to be home before the end of January. I can't even think about how long that is, it's too hard to face that reality. We are thankful for your prayers, we truly need them.

As you have responded so faithfully in the past, I pray you allow that small clot to dissove, that puss-y Picc line to clear and that the big meeting will be an ENCOURAGEMENT for Amy and Shawn and not just another time when negative is poured all over them. I pray that You will infuse the specialists with realistic HOPE that they will see past the challenges and make good decisions for Hope's care! Amen

Hi Amy, I've been following your blog and praying for Hope for a while now. Every morning I check for updates to see how your little one is doing. I have a little girl who is 9 months old and every time I nurse her I pray for Hope. I have prayed for peace and healing in her body, and for strength for you and Shawn. I will be praying for your meeting tomorrow.ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi Amy and Shawn, my heart breaks for you and your family, but I read with admiration. You're strength is truly incredible and I pray for you, your family, and of course, for Hope. In such trying times, you show courage beyond my comprehension. I pray that you both are continued to be given the strength to support Hope through her journey and that the news given tomorrow is positive and offers relief.Delete

Our prayers will persist in rattling the doors of Heaven on your (pl) behalf! I like that term "genius convention!" We called the "-ologists meeting." :) We trust that God knows Hope's every need, and know that that pussy PICC line and clot are in His great Hand as well. Prayers for peace and sanity as you move pack to the ward...ReplyDelete

Your journey has affected the lives of people you haven't even met yet. Because of you, I look at my daughters with softer eyes, love them more tenderly, and cherish our time together more earnestly. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. I too pray that you both continue to stay strong through this journey and that tomorrows news offers new light.ReplyDelete

I EXTRA love this post for a selfish reason...fingers crossed....love ME :)ReplyDelete
Hi Amy, I am so glad that Hope did not need any sedatives today, being in your loving arms was enough for her and that she was able to take and keep food down another victory.
