– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I think it works better for me than Flex did. Over the summer a lot of junk food crept into my menus. Empty points because they were available. Core helped eliminate this junk plus got me losing weight again. I was recently at my mother’s for 10 days. It was hard to follow core 100%. I did the best that I could and just made sure that I only ate until satisfied (not full). I managed to come home weighing only 1 extra pound. That pound is now off after 2 days of strict core eating. My scale is back to where it was the morning I left. It works for me. I think you should re-read your above paragraph – particularly, the next time you get involved in worrying about or dealing with whether or not something is strictly core and how to count it if there is a question. Clearly, coming CLOSE to CORE worked quite well those 10 days. So, once again, we all learn that perfection is not always "perfectly" necessary. You did a great job. A pound fluctuation is normal and is Maintenance. Congrats If your wife can follow the plan then it is worth the effort. I have seen some outstanding losses on this plan. It does take a lot of extra planning and preparation (where I fall down) but those that do really lose nicely on this plan. Hi– my wife just joined WW (again) and will be following the CORE program.

Thanks Fred. I think that is the other reason that I like Core. It is easier to stay OP even when I over eat. As long as I stick with the basic core list of foods I am okay.

Hi, I’m preparing a business plan for my new business. How do I account for construction cost needed to build out my space (general contracting) on the balance sheet? All construction will be finished when I open, so there’ll be nothing in progress. By what name do I call this account? And would I depreciate it over the term of the lease? Thanks.

It’s an asset…..Leasehold Improvements. They are depreciated over close to 40 years, not over the lease term. (they figure you’re not going to sink a quarter mill into a property you plan to abandon in 12 months). Try to stick anything that’s moveable into Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment types of accounts. — Paul A. Thomas, CPA taxman at negia.net
You are doing your own renovations to an office space you lease? Then that is called "leasehold improvements" and it is an asset which depreciates, in Canada, over 7 years.

muttered something like: And apparently you didn’t read it, either, or you would have noted that another problem with top posters is that they rarely trim all the text.
The same can be said for bottom posters, so there is blame on both sides of the argument. When on a non-Usenet group (check my sig) I can post how I like. Top post, html, pictures, colours (or colors for the people who can’t spell B^D), etc.. I may follow the rules of Usenet just to keep the hard nosed bottom posting tribes that merrily jump on a top poster like a flock of vultures does to a rotting corpse, but that doesn’t mean that I like doing so. If EVERYBODY, top and bottom posters alike, were to trim the unwanted text from a reply (see what a good job I did removing all the extra junk I didn’t need for this reply) then there seems no reason why this argument cannot be laid to rest, and both sides to live in peace. — We are the Four Horsemen of the Rock Apocalypse.

Well, this is a discussion group, not a help line, and we do get to discuss what we please. However, one constructive reply I’d give is that people should familiarize themselves with the rules of their financial services and instruments before using them. While I’m no fan of eBay’s webforms either, to me it would be worth $142 to persevere through them. I certainly don’t know of any way you could retrieve that much money for less hassle at this point, and if I were you I’d go fill out some forms. You might also join with the other people you’ve apparently contacted and file a mail fraud complaint at uspis.gov (I think that’s still the domain), or try contacting the police in his jurisdiction. It’s not likely to get anybody’s money back, but it might help diminish the chances of his further actions. Deborah Stevenson

It’s not fair to advertisers who are used to advertising in only three major channels to reach people and now they have to advertise on 500 channels to reach the same total audience. That’s 500 times the cost without raiseing the prices on tampons that you use everyday.
Actually Starmie, the 3 majors deliver the same audience they did in the past. The addition of new channels indicates the audience has in fact grown, residuals however haven’t.

Personally, I think the whole concept of network/cable is invalid in a nation where nearly 3/4 of the country has access to cable/sattelite TV. We should probably tier the arrangement based on total viewership. After all, isn’t this how stations set their ad rates in the first place? Carl — Give a man a fish, and you feed him.

Today, Labor Day, we held the first group golf outing of Atlanta-area RSG’ers at Browns Mill GC in south Atlanta.
Hi, Randy. I’m one of the Atlanta RSG’ers (lurker mostly) and play 9 holes after work with Brian & Yo Yo most Tuesdays. Brian was trying to talk me into e-mailing you to join up, but I wasn’t sure how many you were going to have (my wife probably would have come too). If I had known you only had five, I would have made it out there. I haven’t played Brown’s Mill in probably 10 years. Anyways, I got out around 2pm Monday (MAN it was hot) at College park and shot my best round in years! Something tells me this won’t be the last time the Atlanta RSG’ers get together.
Let me know next outing and It’ll be a "definite maybe" for me to attend Robert Shaw
Gang! Had a ball!!! I would concur with Mr. R&B we have quite the group here in Atlanta. I would encourage all RSG’ers to get together with like folk in their local area and do the same. I would be willing to bet y’all have a blast as well. And yes Mike * can * crush the ball (and not a bad cart driver ether). A few of those shots needed passports. I do believe that Mike was the unofficial winner of the news group geeks regional sectional open invitational (for those who are keeping score) As for my score the accounting firm of Dewy, Cheetem, and Howe is still working on it. As for those who couldn’t make it, fear not. Getting any group of people together at the same place and time would take a cosmic alignment of planets! There was a famous author who was once quoted as saying, "more then three people can’t decide where to have dinner. And so it is. Let’s do it again real soon. I know we all have different schedules but I’m up for a round almost any weekend so drop a line if you need a forth (or a second or third). Hey Yo yo, you have inspired me to get one of those pull cart-a-ma-bobs, makes walking look a whole lot more enjoyable!. And you should have seen Randy’s Tie-Dye, is was the bee’s knees!!!

Unfortunately, some of our ATL brethren had an assortment of work-related activities or "honey-do’s" that prevented them from joining us, but the five of us who played found good (if somewhat hot) weather for a day of golf and making new acquaintences.
Next time you guys get together on a long weekend let me know. I’d like to try and make it. David Golf Instruction Homepage http://www.geocities.com/Augusta/3628/
And you should have seen Randy’s Tie-Dye, is was the bee’s knees!!! Kind of camoflage at a gratful dead concert. Indeed. Highly appropriate for a San Francisco club.
Congratulations, YoYo. You’re the first one to have noticed and made the connection. I thought it was very Haite-Ashbury. Randy
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Congratulations to YoYo, who, after posting a career-best round yesterday, came back with another good showing today. Not a record-setter, but a solid round just six strokes off the record pace he set for himself yesterday. As so many of us have found time and again, it’s hard to follow up a great round with another solid one. But YoYo told us at the end of the day that he timed his "sucking" to occur on Saturday. As Rick pointed out, when it comes to "sucking," timing is everything. Y’know, I feel like I ought to take offense at that, but I’m not sure why. —
YoYo, I’m **so** sorry if you took offense. They were your words, and I thought it was funny when you said it. Truth is, as I told the group, it was a good day for you, and my intent was to point that out. Randy

Well, we had our moments and no one got hurt! Today, Labor Day, we held the first group golf outing of Atlanta-area RSG’ers at Browns Mill GC in south Atlanta. Unfortunately, some of our ATL brethren had an assortment of work-related activities or "honey-do’s" that prevented them from joining us, but the five of us who played found good (if somewhat hot) weather for a day of golf and making new acquaintences. Since the golf course won’t send out fivesomes, we had to break up into two groups, with YoYo and Brian Jones out early. I joined up with Rick "The Demented Golfer" DeMent and Mike Marler in the group right behind. Never let it be said that walking leads to slow play, as Brian and YoYo were out of sight lickety-split. Once they left the first green, we hardly saw hide nor hair of them. In fact, when we turned, there were two groups between us and them (where the heck they came from, nobody knows–we weren’t playing slowly). Congratulations to YoYo, who, after posting a career-best round yesterday, came back with another good showing today. Not a record-setter, but a solid round just six strokes off the record pace he set for himself yesterday. As so many of us have found time and again, it’s hard to follow up a great round with another solid one. But YoYo told us at the end of the day that he timed his "sucking" to occur on Saturday. As Rick pointed out, when it comes to "sucking," timing is everything. Brian, we’re told, got off to a good start, but hit a few bumps along the way. We’ll just say he’s had better days. Rick, "The Demented Golfer," hit some awfully good golf shots, and carded more pars in one round than he’d done before. Congratulations, Mr. DeMent! You had us in stitches. (He’s quite the funny lad.) Mike Marler can whomp that golf ball! He reached the par five 10th in two, and made a nice attempt at eagle. It just ran by, but his tap-in birdie was one of two tweeters he carded on the back nine (he was the only one to make a birdie all day). Mr. Marler can play a little golf, folks. If not for a couple of bad breaks in the final few holes, he’d have been threatening the 80 mark. I had a rather typical outing, scratching it around for 9 holes, hitting the ball into some impossible spots and making my usual allotment of bogeys and doubles. But I pulled it together on the back nine. A 3-putt on 10, and a failure to get up and down from the bunker on 11 led to two bogeys, but I closed out with 7 pars to save the round. The impression I came away with from this experience was that we’ve got some awfully nice folks in RSG, and I highly recommend to each of you to find out who the RSG’ers are in your neck of the woods and get out and meet them. You’re liable to find out that they’re alot of fun. Something tells me this won’t be the last time the Atlanta RSG’ers get together. Randy
Lyons made no mistake. David, do you think you made a mistake? I got my license when I was 16. I’m now 20.
Hey! That would qualify you for "punk" status, wouldn’t it? Fossil? Did you get that from "Children’s Book of Dinosaurs"? Well then, turn to page 289. See that caveman with the big club standing next to the dead Brontosaurus? That’s me. Old habits die hard, I guess… How old are you, anyways? We should have a new thread for everyone to state their age. That would be great for everyone to have a better idea of who we are talking to.
As if a chronological accounting of one’s life has any relativity to the merits of one’s argument. There are 20-year-olds who make you look like a Downs baby, and there are 60-year-olds that make me look….well, old. Just because Emily and I know how to spell I.Q. doesn’t justify your feeble jealousy. I’m smart enough to be reeling you in. Well, I guess that doesn’t say very much. What am I supposed to be jealous of?
Again with the "I’m the Center of the Universe" approach… You may call it "reeling us in", if you wish. But if someone comes to MY house and sprays graffiti on the walls, I call it "going upside his head with a two by four". "Reeling us in"? I repeat: You’re an itch, a flea, a scab begging to be pulled off. Nothing more. dwight P.S.: Your TBA number has been revoked.

I started out all in good fun. Then, I simply stated that FossilJet’s and Ty85gris’ cyber sex in this newsgroup was totally inappropriate (notice that it has stopped, thanks to me) and then I’m getting flamed by a lot of you. Haven’t you been reading my conversation with Lyons about street tires vs. slicks/cheaters at the track? FossilJet must be emailing you all and convincing you to gang up on me. SD! TBA #666
I have never flamed you. Well, once. That’s what started all this. Now, I’m just reeling you in. When you’re close enough, I’m going to bash you over the head with a baseball bat. You should really get some lessons from Lyons. Haven’t you noticed David never comes to your rescue? He doesn’t need to get in a fire fight with me or anyone else on your behalf. Stand on your own two feet. Quit kissing up to him so he can sit down already.
David, did you see what Mr. Jet here wrote? I think he’s calling YOU out! You better watch out FossilJet, David has a torch compared to your match (while I have a flame thrower). Since you’re are still reeling me in, I gave you a chance in the "my ISP is down" thread. Read it carefully. Follow the directions.

Actually, it’s the same car. Have you heard of modifications, Mr. Jet? The first one is with the stock 1979 body pieces and the second one is with the addition of ‘87-’93 LX front and back bumper covers and a 3 inch cowl induction hood ( I couldn’t use the stock 1979 hood because it wouldn’t fit, and I decided why not get a cowl induction hood instead of just a regular, stock ‘87-’93 hood). You seem to be the ONLY one who is disputing the fact that it is my car. What’s your problem? SD! TBA #666

I’m 41, you booger-nosed little wimp. An age thread? How stupid. If you can’t tell I’m your superior by now then you are even more a fool than I thought, if that’s possible. But you have ALWAYS had more trouble learning things than the other children in your class, haven’t you? (Don’t think I didn’t notice the symptoms). Just because Emily and I know how to spell I.Q. doesn’t justify your feeble jealousy. I’m smart enough to be reeling you in. Well, I guess that doesn’t say very much.

OK, let’s play. You’ve done such a marvelous job reeling me in, unbeknownst to my unwitting self, and the others here who are sitting slack-jawed, awash in their naivete. Let me have it! Amaze me! Humiliate me! Make me grovel in the shadow of your exaltedness, you dastardly devil! Now’s your chance to make the hounds of hell howl in your hallowed presence. I’m waiting to experience the final sanguinary evacuation, the ganglia-high separation of cranium and torso, the definitive verbal vasectomy, the intestinal evisceration that only YOU dareth to slather upon my unworthy hide!

My Dad likes to read, and can’t afford to race competitvely anymore. And he used to go round bendy bits too.

Willikers! Spewin I missed out on this insignificant little scumbucket. If I start spitting out this garbage, can I be noticed too? 20 years old huh? I remember being 20, geez, it was only 3 years ago, And I didn’t really know shit. I knew how to make something go fast, but not really fast. I also knew how to 1: Hit things 2: roll things and 3: get a sensible car. What’s that you say, a sensible car? Yes, a pussy little 1.5 litre nissan. But that’s just saving cash for something decent. Now If I can figure how to fit a blower under the hood, and some tubs into these excessively curved guards, I might consider the "sensible car" well spent. Just because you own a "fast" car, still doesn’t mean you know anything. But most people here defy that theory right?

For current workout times, check the website at: http://bcn.boulder.co.us/recreation/bam.html *** Warning: Political polemic follows! *** We have not yet received any solid information about the summer workout schedule. This is partly because the city of Boulder seems to be actively trying to terminate the Masters swim program. Despite the fact that Masters is the *only* aquatics program which brings in more money than it costs run, their stance is that either the Masters double the fees that they pay to the city, or the program will be killed. There’s no accounting for the bureaucrat’s penchant for doing away with successful programs simply because they are more effort to administer. The city’s attitude seems to be that they would rather have 5 guards watching 4 kids at a pool for an "Open Swim" than 1 guard, 1 coach, and 45 paying adults using the facility. And this at a time when they profess to be deeply concerned about declining use of their pools and Rec. Centers. Go figure. *** Vituperation Mode Off ** But back to my original reason for writing: I’m interested in joining the Masters’ Swim program at Scott Carpenter pool this summer but was sort of second guessing this since I lack even the slightest amount of swimming talent and would definately be in the slowwww lane if there is such a thing.
There is such a thing, and don’t worry about being thrust into a group which is too much for your ability. But, I do need a structured swim workout and a lot of instruction on form. Can anybody give me any "inside" advice or info on the Masters’ program here? Would I just be in the way of all the serious athletes or would I be able to get some personal instruction? thanks, gw

gw, The YMCA of Boulder also has a Master’s swim program, and we’re starting up a triathlon club in April. The club is aimed at new triathletes (but we did discover an IMH veteran in the ranks who’s looking to get back into tri’s). I never swam a lap in my life until last October, but with the encouragement of this group I have improved dramatically. No one in any of these groups would look down on some one trying to improve their swimming, in fact, they really enjoy watching the rapid progress of rookies! Ric
Hey folks, Been lurking on the list for a few months now and decided to finally make a post. I was wondering if there are any members of this list who workout in the Master’s Swim program here in Boulder. I am not a triathlete but have been very intrigued by the sport and was thinking about upping my workouts and giving it a go sometime within the next year or 2. I have a background in running. Ran track and cross-country in high school. Of course that was 18 years ago. 
Our cross-country team won the state AA championship during my high school years. Of course that was the A team and I was on the B team. I have a cheap, old bike that I ride to and from work and up and down the bike path and highway north of Boulder occasionally. I just started swimming a couple of times per week at the CU rec center but I must admit that at this stage I’m a terrible swimmer. I guess, what I’m getting at is I don’t have an over abundance of athletic talent or good equipment (i.e. bike) but that never stopped me before from going out and enjoying life.

I agree with this. I woodshed with a ‘92 Mexi-Strat except for the night before a gig and the gig itself, where I use my Am Std Tele. I use the same gauge strings and more or less the same action. The Strat is also the back up axe, in addition to being the pickup test bed. About the best $250 I ever spent. Barry Choice 2 – Dont play the guitar or get a second junker to practice on. I used to take lessons from Bill Connors as well as build his guitars, he never used to practice on his main guitars, a junker would make him work harder and he would save the abuse on his favorite instruments — John Suhr/Fender Custom Shop I’m here on my own dime.

Sorry for the spam block, but it is getting bad.
I currently own a Fender Strat Plus, and I recently took it in to have a setup done and the guy said that the 1,2,3, and 4th frets were really really worn down and had to be replaced. I suppose I should have taken the guitar in every 6-12 months and have it checked out, but is there an easier way to prevent fret wear down? It gets expensive ya know.
Does anybody make a stainless steel or real tough alloy with say titanium frets to replace the stock frets on a strat? My 5 month old sig. strat is already showing a lot of wear. I do love to play it several hours a day. I know that there is a brand of guitar that has similar non/less wearing frets. Joe S.
If you put steel freets in your guitar it will sound bad, with too much high frequencies. The secret to a warm and round sound passes through the freets: they can’t be made in a too hard material, so they don’t last forever. If you want them to last, play on all the fingerboard, not only in some zones.
this guy is trying to say…damn….<snicker but seriously, the only way to keep your frets from being worn is to not play your guitar…a worn fret is like a badge of honor…"Look everyone I practice enough to have worn frets!!!" Just practice those fret right off your guitar…a refret is only about $100 US and if your guitar cost less Thats the fun answer — Mark A. Boughter

Parker Fly has steel frets though. That’s why they can be glued on the fretboard or vice versa: they have to be made from steel, because they’re glued. Erwin

Most excellent advice-thats exactly what I have done over the years and it really extends the life of your favorite instruments. My, uh-hum, Fender strat is my scratch and dent practice instrument, while my PRSs’ are for recording and the "good" gigs in respectable places.

What kind of strings do you use? Those strings that have a reputation of lasting longer than others do so by wearing at your frets instead of the strings. << << << << << << << << << << << << << << << <<
