Kaia Schmid
Where is home?
Marblehead, Massachusetts
What is your primary sport?
Cycling; mainly road, track and cyclocross.
Do you compete on a team?
I currently ride for the New England Development Team.
Why do you compete? What drives you to do what you do?
My bike has brought me to so many beautiful places, taught me so many valuable lessons, and has built a community of like-minded people. I ride my bicycle because it gives me the freedom to go on new adventures. I strive to become faster, beat my personal records, and dig a little deeper. Cycling challenges me to overcome mental and physical obstacles. It may take longer than a day, or even a year, to conquer an obstacle, but when I do, the feeling is unreal. There is absolutely no feeling like crossing the finish line first, and knowing that all of the long, hard hours of suffering paid off. When I'm on my bicycle, all of my worries go away. It's like being on a mini vacation, and I get the privilege to be on that vacation every day I ride my bike.
What is your greatest personal achievement so far?
This year, I became a National Champion at Junior Road National Championships. It was special for me because a lot of people think of me as just a crit or track racer, and I was able to prove them all wrong.
Is there a person or athlete who you look up to?
I look up to cyclists who do it their way, despite what others might say they must do in order to "make it." I like to think of myself as someone who has not followed the traditional path, but rather, have navigated the right direction for me to go in. I look up to Laura Van Gilder for not only her legendary status, but for the fact that she is doing what makes her happy. She's doing it her way. I also look up to my father, as he helps me navigate through the cycling world. He believes in me and my goals more than anyone else, and I couldn't imagine my life as a cyclist without him.
What is your best fueling tip?
I eat half a bag of Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews an hour before each race, and finish the other half 30 minutes before the race. I'll then have an Energy Gel at the start line. Most of my races are short enough that I don't end up needing to consume more during the race.
Are there pieces of advice you have learned over the years and would like to pass on?
Follow your heart and passion, not just your natural ability. Dedication and happiness in what you're doing will get you further in the sport. Be sure to listen to your body, because your body knows best. If it needs time to recover, it will show you. In order to avoid things like over training or getting sick, take the time need to recover so that when you return to your bike, you'll be that much stronger.
What is your favorite Honey Stinger product and flavor?
I love the Cherry Blossom and Pink Lemonade Energy Chews, but I also always go for the classic Honey Waffle.

Tyga, Boombox Cartel cancel sets at Sound of Summer music fest last weekend in San Antonio
Some fans take to social media to air grievances over event
Several artists, including headliners Tyga and Boombox Cartel, did not perform at the Sound of Summer Music Fest in San Antonio this past weekend.
The music festival was a two-day ticketed event that occurred Friday, Aug. 30 and Saturday, Aug. 31 at Nelson W. Wolff Stadium.
Rapper Tyga and dubstep duo Boombox Cartel were scheduled to headline the first day of the event but pulled out the day of, according to their respective social media accounts.
Tyga said on his Instagram story that he canceled his appearance "due to circumstances" that were out of his "control."
Update both headliners cancelled still didn't mention @Tyga pic.twitter.com/LzZaV9PU2Y— Stephanie Tacy (@stephanietacy) August 31, 2019

Boombox Cartel said he had to cancel his set because he "was not confident" the Sound of Summer production team would allow him to "deliver a performance" up to his standards, according to his Instagram story.
Chicklet and Maleni, of Instagram fame, were supposed to host the music festival, but the two did not appear. Chicklet said on Instagram he arrived in San Antonio, but was not contacted by the promotion team, saying "we have not heard nothing from nobody since we landed."
According to Sound of Summer's Facebook account, DJ Carter Cruise canceled due to being "at a pool party in Vegas" and KLO did not perform because he "missed" his flight. Other hip hop artists such as 24hrs and 10k.caash were also scheduled to perform but did not hit the stage.
Owner of Galactic Stadium and organizer of Sound of Summer Ervin Lee told mySA.com via email the cancellations were not in their control as event producers.

"We made every effort to accommodate and accomplish them being able to perform," he said. "There are legal ramifications being pursued, so at this point no farther comments can be given."
Many fans took to Twitter and claimed they were not told about the cancellations until the very last minute, adding they were disappointed with the show.
"@sosmusicfest_ I want a refund!!! This is just upsetting as the Frye festival," @DXO510 said on Twitter. "Totally disorganized venue. You are lacking in customer service. Extremely disappointing. The least you can do announce that your main headliner is not performing. Refund is mandatory at this time."
"So @sosmusicfest_ is really not trying to tell anyone at the festival that @Tyga cancelled," @stephanietacy tweeted.
Lee said when fans were told about the cancellations the "crowd did not dissipate and the event closed at the scheduled time."

Climate crisis needs 'courage for a change.' Here's what Gov. Newsom needs to do
California is falling behind in addressing the climate crisis.
We have been pushing for our state to lead in the fight against runaway climate change for years now, and together we've achieved a lot. We're on our way to running on 100 percent clean energy by 2045 – one of the most ambitious targets in the nation. California is showing concrete results in achieving the vision of a Green New Deal while fostering economic growth. Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest budget commits California to becoming "carbon-neutral" by 2045.
Still, these achievements fall behind the pace science says is needed to give our youth a chance at a climate-safe future. They ring hollow if undermined by the continued expansion of oil and gas extraction. Targets and timelines mean little if we can't break our addiction to dirty fossil fuels.
Newsom is moving California forward on a number of fronts. He included $1 billion for a working families tax credit to boost the income of low-income households. He's cutting discriminatory sales taxes on tampons and diapers. And he's put a moratorium on the death penalty.
Right now, he has the opportunity to lead on climate change, too. He has the chance to jumpstart a clean energy revolution that will create thousands of good-paying jobs. If we want to prevent the next Camp Fire, the next Santa Barbara oil spill and the next statewide mega-drought, we'll need Newsom to lead the way with bold climate action.
On the national stage, we're starting to see our politicians get it. Many 2020 candidates – including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke and Jay Inslee – have come out in favor of a ban on new fossil fuel extraction on public lands, which is currently responsible for a quarter of U.S. carbon emissions. That's the kind of bold approach we need to take back our democracy and economy from the fossil fuel industry.
Just last week, the Sacramento Bee Editorial Board asked, "How much does Governor Newsom care" about climate change? We believe he cares a lot, but he needs a push in the right direction towards climate action. Here's what that should look like.
It's time for California to stop building new fossil fuel projects – a zero tolerance policy. That means no new oil drilling, no new pipelines and no new refineries.
Newsom should also institute a 2,500-foot buffer zone between oil drilling and homes, schools, hospitals and other sensitive sites. California should end existing fossil fuel production where it's impacting families most and put the health of Californians ahead of fossil fuel profits.
Millions of Californians – mostly people of color – are living with oil drilling and pollution in their neighborhoods. Some oil wells are quite literally next door. This way, we can ensure that not one more person must bear the health burden of the oil and gas industry's pollution in their backyard or schoolyard.
Finally, California has the chance to prioritize justice for industry workers and their communities in the process. Working together, we can ensure the clean energy revolution leaves no one behind.
This is a defining moment for the governor and California. We can either be the state that leads this country toward a green, prosperous future, or we can continue to allow oil companies to drive us towards climate catastrophe.
The crisis in front of us demands bold climate champions. This week, at the California Democratic Party State Convention in San Francisco, the leaders of Newsom's own party will be watching to see if California can lead.
Congressman Ro Khanna has represented California's 17th congressional district since 2017. Annie Leonard is the executive director of Greenpeace USA.

January is here, which means so are the wellness trends for 2018. With a focus on clean beauty and looking after our mental wellbeing, we think this year is going to be all about self-care, and we couldn't be happier.
With the festivities, chocolate and too many snowballs well out the way, it's time to do a mini detox and get our skin, mind and wellbeing back into shape.
1. Air purifying
This is about to become one of the biggest wellness trends for 2018. Alex Steinherr has even invested in an air purifier and it's only the 2nd January.
Essentially, air purifying helps to keep the atmosphere around you super healthy and clean; perfect for skin and overall wellness.
If you don't want to invest in an expensive air purifier, try making your own living wall with healthy plants like Aloe Vera and Eucalyptus. Pinterest has stated that search terms for "air purifier" and "air purifying plants" are up +270%. Time to jump on the wellness trend before it hits its peak fashionable moment.
2. Non-toxic or "clean" beauty
Another huge trend which seems to be growing each year is the clean beauty space. People are wanting more non-toxic products to include in their skin, hair and makeup routines, which have positive effects on the skin and body thanks to their combination of amazing and natural ingredients.
One of our favourite brands is RMS Beauty, a brand loved by everyone from Miranda Kerr to Emma Watson.
Seen as one of the biggest trends for 2018 is glossed everything, we have to hero the Lip Shines; coconutty concoctions designed to add radiance to lips.
Add a touch of shine to your lips with RMS Beauty Lip Shine. This colorful, fountain of youth for lips contains buriti oil, which is rich in nutrients. Due to its natural fatty acids, vitamin A and C properties, these lip shines provide extracellular antioxidant protection. Combined with nourishing organic oils and pure mineral pigments, this exotic formula is highly emollient and visibly hydrating. ?: @rmsbeautyjapan #rmsbeauty #myrmsbeauty #lipshine #naturalbeauty #makeup #mua #love
3. Turmeric
You'd be fooled if you think turmeric has had its moment. Carrying on from the wellness trends of 2017, expect to see a lot of turmeric lattes and smoothies popping up on menus.
It's excellent at reducing inflammation, making it a great January detox ingredient when healthy eating has gone out the window and you need to get back on track. Helping to minimise the appearance of redness and blemishes, it's one of our favourite beauty trends to date.
4. Vitamin regimes
Carrying on with the whole wellness element, vitamin regimes are about to become one of the biggest wellness trends for 2018.
Get into the habit of understanding your body and what it needs the most. If you are feeling tired, lethargic, anxious, stressed or upset, try and understand why and adjust your routine accordingly. In addition, vitamins will help support your skin, body and mind.
One of the best vitamins you can take in the winter months is Vitamin D, otherwise known as the "sunshine vitamin." It's great for keeping skin, bones and teeth healthy, and is something we often lack when we don't get enough sunlight; aka all year in the UK.
In addition, make sure you review where you're not getting enough vitamins and minerals, your skin and body will both thank you.
5. Activated charcoal
Like turmeric, activated charcoal is still hogging the beauty limelight, and rightly so. One of the biggest wellness trends for 2018 focusses on anti-pollution, and this miracle ingredient helps keep your complexion free from pollution particles.
The dark powder acts as a magnet to all impurities and dirt, pulling them out so your skin stays clear and healthy. One of our favourite products is undoubtedly the Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant.
6. Esoteric healing
This one you may not have heard of, but essentially it's the art of Reiki. Self-healing and self-awareness are about to become huge wellness trends for 2018 as we look to really look after ourselves, and esoteric healing is about to become the trendiest way to do so.
A Japanese technique, it is believed to reduce stress, sore muscles and anxiety as it brings you into a world of relaxation. Whether you believe in a holistic approach to your health or not, an hour reducing stress is something we would never say no to.

Stratford Circus comedy challenges stereotypes about single mums
PUBLISHED: 15:43 26 October 2016 | UPDATED: 15:43 26 October 2016
Part stand-up, part TED talk and part social commentary, Muvvahood is not the usual cultural view of single mums, according to its creator.
"It is really funny, really upbeat – a lot of fun," said Libby Liburd, writer and star of the one-woman show about single parenthood, which starts a three-day run at Stratford Circus tonight.
Libby, a 40-year-old single mum of a 15-year-old boy, wrote her one-hour show as an act of rebellion against society's "depressing" stereotypes which to her were unrecognisable.
"It is really important to me," she explained. "I know the difference between how I was perceived in a married relationship compared to when I was single.
"Now I am depicted as a broken family, a failure – both me and my child are more likely to become criminals."
She adds that this "harsh" statement "certainly does not seem to exist in my world".
Feeling inspired, Libby researched into the issue, interviewing primarily east London single mothers about their experiences before creating, writing and producing her humorous play.
"I am naturally a comedy actor," she said. "That is something I wanted to get through materially."
Muvvahood has three main parts: firstly an autobiographical section based on Libby and her son's experiences which she describes as "a little like stand-up comedy".
This is followed by a probe into politics and economic issues before delving into the voices of the single mums that Libby met.
After starting life as a shorter, work-in-progress piece, Muvvahood toured venues across the capital.
Libby said it was "so important" for her to have the show at Stratford Circus, having been a Walthamstow resident for the last 14 years.
"It is my local theatre and it is on my 158 bus route," she said.
She adds that as a "colourful show" Muvvahood appeals to wider societal groups in addition to its obvious target audience.
"I'm incredibly proud of it," she said – and with that it's back to real life as a hard-working, single mum.
Muvvahood runs from tomorrow (Thurs) until Saturday. Tickets are £13-£15 from stratford-circus.com

very clean and friendly staff, great breakfast
nothing, all was fine
In Tarrafal the clocks tick differently. The Cape Verdean culture and traditions are still lived. Everyday, life is handled calmly and without stress. The Bay of Tarrafal is famous for its white palm tree beach, which is uniquely beautiful in Cape Verde. Nevertheless, the idyllic bay is authentic and untouched by mass tourism. The surrounding mountains of Tarrafal offer time for mental relaxation and a great area for hiking.
Tarrafal offers enjoyable activities such as diving, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, fishing, surfing, mountain biking, music and history or simply you decide to relax on the cozy beach .
Tarrafal is home to several restaurants, bars, banks and a beautiful, leafy central square with several restaurants. Here you can hang out with both locals and tourists.
Tarrafal is the norhternmost district of the island of Santiago with its regional capital Cidade do Tarrafal. The town has about 8,000 inhabitants and the entire district of Tarrafal has about 18'000 inhabitants. Tarrafal is a small fisher town. It extends from the National Park of Serra Malagueta to the east coast and up to the northernmost point of the island.
There are several other settlements in Cape Verde with the same name, notably Tarrafal on the island of São Nicolau and on the island of Santo Antão; however, Tarrafal on the island of Santiago is the largest and most populous.

Laundry is a chore we just can't get out of, and not only can it be tiresome but the nickels and dimes can also add up on buying cleaning products. And purchasing endless sheets of "Bounce" can be very expensive, not to mention full of harsh chemicals that really aren't good for your health.
So use some wool balls. They're the natural way to soften your clothes, and the cost almost nothing to make (or very little to buy). Made out of yarn, they're great to put in the tumble dryer – not only will they radically reduce drying time, saving you money, but they'll also make your clothes smell good.
Unlike dryer sheets, they really reduce static cling and wrinkles. All you need to do is throw 3-4 in the tumble dryer and away you go. And you can recycle them too – they last a long time. And, just as importantly, they're great for the environment. Wool balls really are a safe and natural way to get your clothes dry, and smelling great, in no time at all!

From Willem G. Weststeijn at the University of Amsterdam, working at the Faculty of "Geesteswetenschappen", I received a very nice surprise. He worked for a special issue of the magazine for Slavic Literature that contains an opening article of 12 pages on the work of Serge Segay and rea Nikonova. Last year Me & Litsa Spathi met them both in Minden, Germany, and we were in contact with them for decades already. Nice to read the Dutch article that is called: "De onuitputtelijke avantgarde". It is illustrated with the very special work of these wonderful artists. I am so glad that the University of Amsterdam published this. In a small note from Willem I read that the magazine was sent to me on request of Serge Segay. A very nice present he sent me this way. I will send him something back for sure and will thank the sender as well.

Obrigada Ruud Janssen.
Desejo uma boa viagem espiritual a Serge Sigei. Breve estaremos contigo
Saudações criativas.
Dear Ruud, it seems a sort of nightmare, here we are again to talk about a friend's death. Serge's son sent us the very sad news.
We were hoping to meet Serge again and have him here in Torino as we think to prepare an exhibit at our THE ROOM for Rea... now we'll do it with our material both of Rea and Serge.
As we are not so great in terms of inserting material in your blog, we are sending you this message and three photos taken in Kiel in 2007.
Thanks and a friendly hug

How is your week going? Recently I came across a simple idea that stopped me in my tracks and caused me to reevaluate the "health" of my restoration time.
Let's be clear on the idea of restoration time. This is a broad category of activities including time with your spouse, kiddos, or friends. This time is NOT spent accomplishing a goal, but rather includes things like helping your spouse make dinner, helping kiddos with homework, watching Netflix, reading a book, taking a walk… I think you get the idea. We all need downtime to recharge the proverbial batteries.
This time SHOULD be restorative and relaxing. However, if you are distracted and NOT present in the moment you are viewing this time as a waste.
Being a type-A personality I'm wired to continually move forward in pursuit of a goal. This becomes harmful if I can't find a way to shut down and enjoy the restorative time.
The specific take away >> I've begun to consciously tell myself "this time is restorative and building relationships." This has helped me be more present in the moment and reduce my overall level stress.
Set clear boundaries about productive time and restorative time. Be present in both!
How about you? Are you present in the moment? Or have you been guilty of being distracted and viewing downtime as a nuisance?

What tools should a person start with?
Posted 27 June 2004 - 01:12 AM
My opinion.
PB Blaster -- for soaking rusty frozen bolts and screws.
WD-40 (or Liquid Wrench, or 3-in-1 oil) -- good penetrating oil.
Silicon Spray -- for anything rubber, like sunroof and door weather proof seals.
Sears/Craftsman magnetic hex-head screwdriver with inter-changeable tips. The tips can be phillips, blade, allen head, torqex, etc -- in various sizes. If available, purchase a Reed & Prince 3/16" tip -- for work on throttle body. Best part. The screw (unless alluminum) stays on the tip of the screwdriver and doesn't end up lost somewhere.
Six point (Not 12 point) 3/8" drive metric socket set. Snap-on 3/8" drive rachet with S-shaped handle. Short, Medium, and long extensions.
The socket for our spark plugs. I forget the size right now. It isn't a regular deep-weel socket. It is a spark plug socket with the foam inside for protect ceramic of spark plug.
1 piece of scrap rubber fuel hose to place firmly around spark plug to help find threads when installing.
12 point box-end metric wrench set.
No need for Open-end metric wrench set.
No need for Combination (One side box-end, the other side open-end) metric wrench set.
I forget the correct term, they look like 6 point box end -- only there is a small opening. These wrenches are used around fuel lines, oil lines to turbo, and coolant lines. Purchase these individually as needed.
1 Vise-grip brand vise-grips.
1 pry-bar -- never use a screwdriver for prying.
1 exacto razor blade knife.
1 packet of 220 grit wet-dry(black) sandpaper.
1 tire pressure gauge -- 0 to 90 psi to use with both cars and 10-speed bicycles.
1 portable air compressor that plugs into cigarette lighter.
1 inductive timing light.
Anyone else's thoughts????

Electrical tape..
Digital and Analog Volt Meters..
Regular old curcuit tester(the kind that looks like a screwdriver, but with a light inside the clear case, and a aligator clip)..
Couple boxes of multi-amp fuses..
A few rolls of 16-18gauge wire, or a bunch of fusible links..
I think you summed it up nicely Indy, especially the part about the Prince&Reed bits... I didn't know about those until 6 months ago--let alone they're for our TB..

You do need a set of open end wrenches. Can't unbolt the driveshaft with a closed end.
An impact driver and hammer are useful also.

mm I all ways use a Boxed end wrench on all I have done..... work fine for me and I want to add amen to that Impact driver
Some other things that might be noted geting the cheapest tools made is not a good Idea they Brake/ strip MUCH MUCH ezer then a good tool will I like ACE hardware Pro tools and Husky makes good ones as well and S&K and I am not much of a cramsman fan but it is mostly do to they are alot farther from me and oo kobalt is good as well. !!!! TOOL SHOP VERY BAD most un names tools BAD I would allways look for ones that have a lifetime garenty of some kind if they dont stand by there tools most likly it is junk ooo and one More habour frieght tools are not that bad i say that not that they are good but they have a middli of the line tools to down right good stuff and some gunk as well they say they have a lifetime garenty as well on there stuff.
And other good tip I wouls get in the habbit of allways useing PB or something like it working on a older car it is bound to have alot of stuck bolts and so on and just put it on just incase it can realy save time you know what I mean if you have broke some bolt heads off in parts you need.

1 piece of scrap rubber fuel hose to place firmly around spark plug to help find threads when installing.
No need for Combination (One side box-end, the other side open-end) metric wrench set.
That would be a 13/16 sparkplug socket, And the Combination wrenches are a must if your going to be working on the driveshaft and in the engine bay.
I used to boxed end wrenches when changing my driveshaft yesterday and I had the rear tires on ramps, so I never turned the driveshaft. I was able to get to all the bolts with them lined straight up and down. ;D
would also like to add a good testlight.. comes in handy..
And Line wrenches used for those nasty brake lines..

1. A copy of the factory manuals for your car, or at least the scanned versions (PDF files) that can be downloaded. READ THEM A COUPLE TIMES - NOT JUST BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO WORK ON SOMETHING. Leave a copy by the toilet and read a few pages each time... get to know your car. Some of the tips in one chapter will apply to jobs in some totally different chapter - the manuals are not organized like a cookbook with all steps spelled out each time.
2. TIME. Many people, once they get their "new" car, are just too impatient to do the job right. Either that, or they don't really have the funds RIGHT NOW to do the whole job so they want to Mickey-Mouse it. Not a good idea.
3. A good ear. Turn down that blasting stereo once in a while and listen to the car. Any new noises? New noises mean something has changed... and cars generally don't "change for the better." Noises, new and old, are warning signs of problems. Problems that most likely will escalate into major (expensive) problems if ignored. At least identify the source of the noise to find out if the problem won't get worse; i.e. squeeking when turning the steering wheel could mean the strut isolators are worn... you can drive that way for a little while though. Engine rattles/clunks? PARK IT! Also, "I don't have time to fix it right now" or "I don't have the money right now" don't mean anything to your car. When it gives you a warning by making new noises, vibrations, etc... it wants help NOW. Unless you know it's a "won't get worse" problem like the strut isolators, if you can't fix it now, you're probably better off parking the car before the problem gets much worse. Ask anybody that's noticed a "clunking" from the engine... only to have a rod blow a hole through the block a few miles later. A good friend of mine ignored this advice... as he was leaving my place, I heard a rattle sound from his engine - like marbles rolling around an empty coffee can. That's 99.9% of the time a worn water pump. I told him, he said "it just started doing that last week." A WEEK? He popped the hood and I confirmed it was the water pump. "I don't have time right now." And he left. And drove the car to/from work the following week. Well, blasting down the freeway (at around 80 mph since he was late from the client's building to his home office for his annual review) the water pump finally let go. It siezed. On this particular car (Honda CRX) the water pump is driven by a V-belt from the camshaft... thus the camshaft siezed. 10 of the 12 valves in that engine got bent when pistons smashed into them at 4000RPM (80+mph remember?). And the timing belt stripped totally. It cost $1400 to put that engine back together. For a $30 water pump + Owner Impatience. This same guy also got himself stranded on the side of the road driving his dad's pickup truck... I noticed the V-belts on it were really old and cracked and warned him "these things are going to bust any time now." He didn't even make it home. NOW he listens to my advice.
4. When posting on the boards looking for help, provide as much info as you can: model year, tranny type, any modifications, etc. Describe the noises/vibrations/symptoms as specifically as you can and WHEN they happen: hot engine, cold engine, accelerating, coasting, while turning, when the moon is green, whatever.

Flare Nut -- Yeah, that's the term that I was looking for.
I must admit that I own a set of combination wrenches. Since they are shorter than box-end, I use them to get into hard-to-reach cramped areas.
I don't like to round the head off of the bolts/nuts in my car. When an open-end wrench slips -- and it will for people just learning how to use tools -- the corners of the bolt/nuts will round off.
If a bolt/nut turns easily, then open-end is just fine. However, for those bolts/nuts that require a little force. This is the order to choose which tool to use.
1) Use 6 point socket with high-quality rachet.
2) Use 12 point box-end (of either combination set or box-end set)
3) Purchase a flare-nut wrench before using an open-end

I'd suggest ratchet wrenches also. Those are the handiest SOBs I have ever used.
I suggest a full set of metric sockets in 1/2, 3/8and 1/4 with multiple length extensions.
- The long sockets for 3/8 and 1/4 are bvery useful too. You can usually get a good dea on the sears big arse socket sets if you watch for sales. The craftsman stuff is pretty good.
Buy yourself a high quality set of medium sized snap ring plyers
-.Proto makes a nice set that I used for my gigantic turbo snap ring along with the u joints. Don't buy a cheap pair of snap ring plyers, you will be lucky to use them once before the cheap things bend or break. I learned my lesson the hard way there.
Get yourself a leatherman. No man should be without one of those
! big extension cord, and a good work light for working at night.
-Those compact fluorescents work great in the work lights, just try nott o break one, it wouldnt be pretty.
A decent pair of channel locks are always handy for emergencies
If you are doing any serious electrical work get yourself a good pair of crimping plyers.
Buy a few pairs of gloves too. I;ve saved many a skinned knuckles with them on. when I was breaking a bolt.
Having the right tool can make all the difference.

The throttle body bolts can be difficult to remove. They look like regular phillips head, but they really need a Reed & Prince head screwdriver.

Singer no. 42 Cabinet Swing-Arm
1 Response to Singer no.42 Swing Arm Parts
I need help putting the support arm back after having the cabinet refurbished. The guy took all apart without paying attention and has now given up. I'm not sure if pieces have been lost either. Mine looks similar to the one above and I'm trying to put all together so the arm swings out when table leaf is opened and the arm returns when closed. Would you be able to help with pictures or verbiage describing this? Thx

Got up and toured the Everglades NP. Did a walk around Royal Palm Hammock, Interesting sign telling you to cover your front windshield. The vultures like to eat the wipers and the rubber around your windshield.
The walk was on a raised board walk where you can look down at fish, turtles and alligators also birds everywhere.
There was more wild life in such small area than I have ever seen.
Slow driving north from the park, construction everywhere. One section we passed plant nurseries side by side for over 12 miles.
Everything around the NP is agriculture, looks like everything grows here.
Some of the trees looked like they must be fake but they are real.
We crossed over hwy 41 and stopped to look at several nature areas and have lunch.
All across hwy 41 was mangrove swamps and I am sure alligators.
Finally got on I-75 going north, Veronica found a county park we would make around 4:30 and it looked good so we picked it to stay for the night. EG Simmons park was only 1/3 full, we were told you can not find a spot from November to February.
After that it is too hot and too many bugs. Not hot but we sure have the bugs. So many bugs we decided to lower the top and drive over to the beach and watch the sunset. Florida does have some great sunsets. I have heard about NO SEE EM's but this was my first experience with them. So small they go right through regular screens. We have used a lot of insect repellent and they are still with us. Finally closed all the window and doors in the camper. It is starting cool down and would be great to have the windows open but no way tonight. Warn inside but not having the bugs are so much better. Tomorrow we will be going out to breakfast away from the bugs.
Thursday 4-2 Total miles 325
Got up and got out of the bug capital. Decided to get up, go and have breakfast on the road at a restaurant. I did not put on bug spray as I was only going to lower the top and leave. BIG mistake! The no-see-um's swarmed as I lowered and latched the top. I would feel the bites for the next week. We only found fast food looking for breakfast, finally found a Starbucks and stopped. Today we plan to drive as close to the bay as we can and stay off the interstate. I just love seeing what a state looks like when you get off the main roads. Florida has a lot of farms and some of the smaller towns look like a poverty definition. Around lunch we were looking for a spot to get something quick and local.
Spotted a small Bar B Q place. Daddy Bar-B-Q in Perry FL. Great chopped pork sandwich. Around 2:00 we start looking ahead on AllStays for a place to camp. I guess all of the east coast vacations in Florida this time of the year. Several campground said they were full. Decided to drive on and check when it got there.
We drove to a local park and had our pork sandwiches under moss covered trees.
Stopped and checked in the town of Apalachicola for any camps near by. St Josephs Peninsula SP said they had an spot but could not hold it. I asked if it was taken did they have a spot I could just part and explained what I was camping in. The ranger said sure I could stay in a parking lot if needed.
Drove 25 miles and the one spot left was still open. We took it, as with all the other Florida Parks it was a tight campground.
We are way out in the bay, check the picture to the left. This was the tightest camp we had stayed at, still better than some of the private RV camps (parking lots) we passed full of super size RV's. I guess there is some kind of endangered mouse and the mouse gets priority on space. The phone kept going from eastern time to central time. I looked on a map and the peninsula is just inside the central time zone. We will drive back into eastern time before we head west.
This also was one the prettiest parks we have stopped at. Boardwalks leading to white sand beaches.
Friday 4-3 Total Miles 222
Goal today, get out of Florida. We have spent the last 5 nights in Florida and it is time to make some time and get home. First things first we needed to do laundry.
Stopped in Port Joseph, a great little town. We gain an hour today so it only took an hour to get everything clean. The local pizza place was named Joe Mama's Pizza, someone has a sense of humor. The road by the coast was slow and full of traffic. Followed the coast as far as Destin Fl and then got on I-10.
Traffic slowed to a crawl on I-10, we are not covering much ground today.
Half a mile later we saw why, a travel trailer on it side and holding the pick up towing it in the air. Someone was having a bad day. We had hoped to get into Mississippi today, however the bridge into Mobile AL was slowed to a crawl.
Getting time to find a camp for the night, looked on AllStays and found Meaher SP. Pulled in and they still had spots. Almost all the rigs were big dollar motorhomes. One Lance TC, a coleman tent trailer and a few tents. Right on the water and a nice breeze blowing. Weather radio said rain and thunder after midnight, we will see.
Saturday 4-4 Total miles 293
Last night was as humid as I have felt in my life. The sheets had a clammy feel, we both slept well but the windows were open all night. Rain was forecast but did not arrive. Got up early and turned on the weather radio. Current Temp in Mobile 76 degrees and 96% humidity! We turned on the vent fan and wiped the inside down. Got on the road early and headed for Mississippi. Mobile had a modern downtown but also a fine historic area we passed with moss covered trees. The leaves were just starting to come out on the oaks. Drove through some beautiful small towns, got gas at $2.14 a gallon a sure sign you are not in CA. Stopped at a Win Dixie and stocked up the camper. Highways 98 and 84 are not interstates but had a 65 MPH limit even with streets crossing, the locals were driving over 70 MPH. Great road and everything turning green made it look like a postcard. At Natchez we found a small fish place for lunch. All deep fried with hush puppies and fries. Good but tum's for desert.
Really liked Mount Locus Inn. The rangers gave lots of information on the history of the area.
Our planned stop for the night was Rocky CG, free and first come first served. We pulled into the first open spot, parked and walked around looking for any other spots. Only one other open spot and most of it was in a marsh not good.
Two Expo style campers were in the campground. We talked to the people in this one from Germany. They were near the end of a drive around the good old USA. The camper would be loaded back on a ship in Baltimore for its trip back home.
Sunday 4-5 Total miles 466
This is to be a driving day. We are up early and on the road by 7:30.
The Trace is almost deserted this early. Going to research who decided to make a road a park, it was a great idea.
We decided on the way out east, when we drove the upper Trace we wanted to see the lower section. We were rewarded with springtime on the lower trace. If you are ever in the area the Natchez Trace Parkway is a must see.
Turning off when we got to where I-20 crosses the Trace and head west. Shortly we are in Louisiana and headed for TX. Just before Shreveport we find Shane's Seafood and BBQ. In the state of Louisiana seafood is catfish! The BBQ was good though.
The radar showed heavy rain, yellow and orange on the radar coming up, it was right. We are the small blue dot in the picture to the left. Wish we could bring some of the rain home. I guess turning your head lights on in the rain is not a law in TX. Scary to see how some people drive in such a heavy rain. Speed limit is 75 MPH and many are way over that. Our goal is to get west of Dallas so we do not have to deal with the traffic on Monday morning. We pull into Weatherford and stop at the Hampton Inn for the night. Tomorrow we hope to be out of TX.
Monday 4-6 Total miles 528
Yes our longest driving day, did not plan on it but it happened. Got out of Weatherford TX at 8:00 AM and set a course to New Mexico.
Driving across the Texas hill country was nice with many wild flowers out. I do think the cities spread seeds by the freeways. Saw more blue bonnets in the cities than in the country. We drove in a 40 mph wind most of the day, really hurt the gas milage. Also running 5 below the 75 mph limit did not help. We had planed to stay at Brantley Lake SP just above Carlsbad NM. We were there at 3:00 pm because we had crossed to Mountain Time and gained an hour. It was 93 degrees and windy. Cooking in the heat did not look like a good idea. Checked AllStays and found a BLM camp side just outside of Lincoln NM. Figured we would be there in just two hours so drove on.
Just Below Artesia NM Saw flashing red lights and slowed. The pickup with the lights then pulled across the freeway blocking traffic. Looked and saw a small suv in the ditch. Soon there was a parade of red lights coming up the freeway.
About 10 minutes later a chopper was landing on the freeway to life flight someone. Soon after we were directed to turn around and take a detour. This added 30 to 40 minutes to the day. At Roswell we turned up the mountain toward Lincoln. Nice to be on the small roads again. Interesting seeing nice homes and we were along way from nowhere. Driving through Lincoln was fun, old city with many adobe buildings.
Just off the road was a BLM campground. Free if you do not use water or elec.
Found a level spot for the night and we were set.
Tuesday 4-7 Total miles 373
Nice night at the BLM campground.
We were at altitude as all our packaged goods were puffed. See our morning oatmeal to the left.
Interesting town and a lot of history here.
Most of the homes were adobe and some had been stuccoed. The ranger gave a lot of information, I still do not see how someone supports their self this far from nowhere.
The rock above was from 1941 see sign to the right.
This old water cistern was one of the oldest structures.
Next stop was the Smokey the Bear Museum in Capitan NM. Yes there was a real Smokey and he was found after a wild fire near here in 1950. He lived until 1976 at the National Zoo in Washington DC. Smokey is also buried here. There were two other Smokies after the original. Both Lincoln and Smokey were stumble upon sights. We came this way because of the BLM campground on our way to our next stop.
On the way to Pie Town we passed The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array is a radio astronomy
observatory. These large antenna go on for miles.
Pie Town was on Hwy 60, we saw Pie Town on a TV show and though we might as well stop as we were with in 100 miles. Not sure where the end of the earth is but you can see it from Pie Town. There are two pie shops and one was closed. We had lunch and pie. Downside was the waitress, who I guess just did not want to be at work. Not fast food, but a hamburger should not take as long as it did. Pie was good but again the waitress was slow to come take our order and longer to get it. Oh well, we have been to Pie Town. All of the roads today have been small with two lanes. Also the wind was 40 mph +. Nice to be off the interstates but slow going. We had planned to stop at the Painted Desert for the night. Got there and the wind was even stronger with no shelter. Decided to drive ahead to Winslow and check out a county park.
Free, nice spot on the back of a small bluff offering some protection to the wind. Now 7:00pm and the wind is slowing down. Looks like two more days and we will be home. Tomorrow night we should be somewhere in southern CA. Arizona does not change to daylight savings time so we gained another hour today. We are back on California time.
We did go by "the corner" for a couple of pictures. The flat bed Ford needs a FWC flatbed model camper.
Wednesday 4-8 Total miles 491
The desert was blooming as we drive across Arizona. Color was everywhere. A month ago the area with snow, it was all gone now.
Got gas at the Lake Havasu turn off, last station before CA. $2.29 per gallon we will pay more than a $1.00 more per gallon when we get to CA. At the CA inspection station they asked where I was coming from and I did not lie I said Lake Havasu, he said have a nice day. I wonder how long it would have taken if I said Key West? Cool weather as we got to Needles and had lunch, 72 degrees. All the way across the Mohave Desert is was 70 or below!
This was our view as we drove up to our campground. Where did summer go?
When we got to the county park in Techahapi it was 55 degrees going to get cold tonight. Also there was snow on the hill just above the camp. We will be up early tomorrow as we have not adjusted to all the time changes.
Thursday 4-9 Total miles 269
Going home today. Great county campground, only two other campers last night. It was cold for California. We had a great trip. 8,310 miles 614 gallons of gas. We did a trip across the USA in our old camper in 2011. This trip we did not stay at one Walmart, the AllStays app on the Iphone found us some very nice campgrounds. We did stay at 6 motels, 2 because campgrounds in the north were closed and 1 in Daytona Florida because it was $75.00 to camp. If not, we would have only stayed at 3. Our camper has been a great investment. Driving and camping is still the best way to see America. Our National Parks are true treasures and this trip we saw three National Parkways. Natchez Trace, Blue Ridge and Shenandoah. All three had much to offer the traveler. The Florida Keys were a tropical treasure, just to bad you have to cross the rest of Florida to get there. Our next Big Trip may be Alaska, just not sure what year.

Chartwells responds to hungry journalist
On Feb. 8, I wrote an editorial titled, "Early birds miss the worm: Lack of weekend breakfast leaves busy students hungry". I was pleasantly surprised to see in my OWU e-mail inbox a message from Daniel Magee, director of Chartwells' dining services, on Feb. 15.
I was not expecting such a timely response, let alone any response at all. In his e-mail, Magee said my editorial made him want to change the current dining situation on campus.
"Your argument was persuasive and clearly illustrated the plight of students on the weekends looking for early morning food options," Magee said. "So, here is my idea. We will open Smith on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a. m. for a light breakfast, which will include the following:
1. Cereals and Hot Oatmeal
2. Fresh cut fruit and whole fruit
3. Bagels, English Muffins, Pastries
4. Yogurt, Cottage Cheese"
Magee began starting the service on Feb. 18 and plans to run it until the end of the semester to gauge student response. Breakfast costs $5.50.
I am very impressed with Chartwells' prompt response to my concern and their amply sufficient solution to it. You can definitely plan on seeing my face at Smith on Saturday and Sunday mornings—come join me for breakfast!

Farm Bill Provides $50 Million for Mental Health Resources for Farmers
The new farm bill appropriates $50 million in Federal funds for mental health resources specifically targeted toward farmers, ranchers and other ag-related occupations.
"Washington has been slow to recognize the challenge that farmers are facing, and the daily stressors that they experience during difficult years," says Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D., Wis.),one of the authors of the bill. "I worked to include this bipartisan reform in the final Farm Bill so that when there is a crisis on the farm, farmers know they are not alone and there are resources available to help them find a path through tough times."
Known as the FARMERS FIRST Act (Facilitating Accessible Resources for Mental Health and Encouraging Rural Solutions for Immediate Response to Stressful Times), the Act provides up to $10 million per year for each of the fiscal years of 2019 through 2023. The bill was introduced to Congress last April by Baldwin and Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa). Cosponsors of the bill include Senators Michael Bennet (D., Colo.), Cory Gardner (R., Colo.) Heidi Heitkamp (D., N.D.) and Jerry Moran (R., Kan.).
Lack of mental health resources in rural communities is a huge challenge. Under the bill, resources can be directed to provide competitive grants to State departments of agriculture, State cooperative Extension services and non-profit organizations. The grant money can be used to develop farm telephone helplines and websites, training for advocates to assist affected individuals in crisis, support groups, outreach services and activities, and home delivery of assistance.
The FARMERS FIRST Act also directs the Secretary of Agriculture, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to establish a National Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network "to coordinate stress assistance programs on a national scale for affected individuals." It also requires the Secretary of Agriculture, within one year of enactment, to submit a report to Congress on the behavioral and mental health of farmers and ranchers.

Great, Subtle Scent
I've loved this scent for years, but have always just picked up samples at the perfume counter. I'm so glad I purchased the full-size spray. amazing grace is a beautiful, subtle scent that is ideal for any time/occasion. It's not overpowering or in-your-face, so wearing it at work or to meetings is never an issue.5

GIF: Boundary Break
With the Spyro trilogy getting a remaster in September, it's a good time to revisit the purple dragon's original adventures to see just how many secrets it left behind.
We've covered several of Boundary Break's videos before, which are always great for unmasking how scenes are shot, what's hidden off screen, and the general bits and bobs that developers tend to leave in games. The latest title to get pulled apart: Spyro: Ripto's Rage, which most people happily just refer to as Spyro 2.
Something rather cool – and unexpected for a game this old – is the fact that Spyro 2 had a dynamic level of detail applied. Put simply, it allows the game to reduce the amount of detail displayed as the view is zoomed out, letting the player see more of the environment while maintaining performance.
It's a technique that's pretty common these days, especially open-world RPGs. There's other cool stuff though: if a cut-scene has a character that hasn't been brought into the scene yet, Spyro 2 hides the character models underneath the level:
Another neat trick: remember the level where Spyro jumps into a submarine? Well, as it turns out, he's not actually in the submarine and the character model only reappears once he leaves the sub. It makes a lot of sense actually, since if the character model is in the sub it creates another object that has to move and be tracked at the same speed as the sub.
Bit of a pain in the ass for a model you can't see, really. For more tricks with geometry and hiding models off screen, see the full Boundary Break video below and the full playlist here on YouTube.

Small But Mighty Sculpture Class Expands Artistic Opportunities
As many students know North Atlanta has an incredible art program, specifically in the visual studio arts department. Warrior art students pride themselves on improving their skills in everything from drawing, painting, and printmaking to ceramics and sculpture. The sculpture class is especially notable this year, consisting of only five students. The class is undoubtedly a small one, but despite its size, this elite crew of creative minds are expanding the art program at North Atlanta.
Sculpture includes a lineup of five talented artists that include seniors Gabriella Diaz, Kate Morris and Maddie Peckham along with juniors Chloe Van Nort and Martha Bustamante. The class instructor of second-year visual arts instructor Rachel Sturgess. Each student in the class has a passion for sculpting, and each one said she was thrilled that the class became a reality. Even on their first official project, their ideas and concepts have quickly come to fruition and beautiful final products are in the making.
With such a small group of students, the class features a different teaching and learning environment. The quality of art has improved even as a close-knit and community has been created. Senior Maddie Peckham has enjoyed having such a small crew in the class. "A lot of what we do can be more focused and unified because of the group size," she said.
Currently, the sculpture students are creating Japanese Zen gardens, which are miniature gardens used to evoke peace and a meditative mindset. Junior Chloe Van Nort has been extremely interested in this project so far. "I think it's really cool the array of materials you can use to build the garden," she said. "You can make them look so realistic even if they're made out of plastic and sponges."
These sculptors love the work they do and find joy in creating new pieces of art. Senior Kate Morris has taken a wide range of art classes at North Atlanta through the years but has found sculpture to be her strongest suit. "I really like building things, so sculpture is really fun for me." she said. "I also love the options of materials we get to use because they really make the art come to life."
Whether they're building with cardboard or scavenging for rocks and leaves, these sculpture students are making bold steps in expressing their styles. Their passion for sculpture has created an interesting community of five that is broadening the horizons of North Atlanta's art program and opening minds to the art and possibilities of sculpture.
