Plumbing is a compulsory thing for every house or building because it involves fixing components of the building that lead to a convenient living in the building. Although many people think that plumbing is a mere work that can be done by anyone, it requires a qualified and experienced person to do it. Imagine if your kitchen water pipe is interlinked with sewage water pipe! That would be a disaster in the house. This is why only trusted professional plumbers should be hired both for elective and emergency plumbing work. Fortunately, sites such as TrustATrader mean finding a plumber you can trust and rely on is easier than ever.
Check if the Plumber Has a License
People can fake professions and identities in this world just to win jobs. Don't judge a plumber by looking at the uniforms or the company logos, ask for a license and a referee to ensure that the person or company you are hiring is qualified and fit for the work. If you get the license try to find out who issued it and verify if it is genuine or not. Some fake plumbers could study your house so that they come and burglarise.It is better to be sure of whom you are hiring to avoid such issues.
Check If the Plumber Is Insured
When working, damages could occur due to various reasons. It will be easy for you to be compensated when the technician is insured because the insurance company will pay for all the damages. If the technician is not insured, you can still hire him or her, but that would be very risky since in the event of any damage, it will be considered as an inevitable accident and collateral damage, therefore, no compensation will be given.
Pricing and Warrant of the Services Offered
Pricing needs to be done before the beginning of the work. Pricing is determined after the technician or plumber analyses the whole scope of work, the parts to be replaced and the duration that the whole work is going to take. Once all these parameters are analysed, the technician then drafts the price and gives it to the client. Warrant is offered within certain duration so that in the event the fixed parts get compromised, the technician will have to repair those parts for free. If a plumber does not offer warrant, you need to know that he is not sure of the services he is offering.
The bottom Line is that Plumbing is very important to a house or a building. If it is done correctly, the house would be a convenient place to live in because there will be proper drainage, working showers, excellently working taps and perfectly working sinks, all being monitored by a water flow meter to help prevent future disasters. If it is not done properly, all these features will not work properly. It is good to have a plumber that you can even call at night when you have emergences like the leaking of gas in your house. Such issues need quick fixation by before they can result in into deadly accidents.

and relishes everywhere! Ah the relishes!!
At the same time, a neighbour went on holidays, leaving a veracious a cucumber vine to be tended. After much research and testing, "Phill's Cucumber Relish" was born, along with
many humbling accolades. Soon many other recipes and ideas took over. A funky label was designed by Felicity along with the encouragement and support only a wife can give. Another nearby neighbour had been down the same track, now retired from selling her relishes, jams and chutney's in the families local Cheese Factory passed on tried and true classic recipes along with many books, a fountain of knowledge and again, support.

LOOK for the big red tent with the hay bales, and drop in for a sit down and a chat.

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) can become a bothersome weed in lawns, flowerbeds, vegetable gardens and even between the cracks in your sidewalk. It's a small, low-growing succulent with fleshy leaves and insignificant flowers containing plenty of seeds, which drop to the soil and grow into more plants. But purslane is edible—and nutritious, with good quantities of omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin C, making it a good antioxidant. Also, purslane is cherished in France and used in salads in fancy restaurants. One of the ways you can get rid of purslane is to pull it out by the roots and add it to your meals.
Getting Rid of Purslane
Prevent this plant from invading your yard by not introducing it and by selecting planting stock and seeds of other plants that are free of weeds. If you use a lawnmower or any other garden tool that has been used in an area where purslane is known to exist, be sure to clean these items thoroughly before bringing them onto your property.
Pull out any purslane with your hand weed puller tool immediately upon discovering it. Be sure to get the entire root system and try to weed it before it flowers and sets seeds.
Spread mulch in areas where purslane is known to exist. You can even use cardboard to smother the purslane underneath it.
Solarize the soil in areas with heavy infestations of purslane. To do this, spread a sheet of thick clear plastic over the soil area for four to six weeks during the warmest time of year. Anchor it with rocks or bricks around the edges. All plants and their seeds under the plastic will cook.
Use chemical herbicides for severe infestations of purslane. Home gardens usually do not require you to resort to this control. Both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides can be effective in controlling purslane. Recommended pre-emergents include dithiopyr and pendimethalin. Post-emergents include Dicamba, MCPP, MSMA and 2,4-D.
Things You Will Need
- Garden gloves
- Hand weed puller
- Mulch
- Clear plastic
- Herbicide (optional)
- If you keep your lawn healthy it should not become the victim of a purslane invasion.
- Pre-emergent herbicides are not recommended for use in or near vegetable gardens.
- Always follow label instructions closely whenever you use any herbicide or pesticide.

Welcome to "God on Tap"—conversations that happen at the intersection of life and faith. We gather to talk about life and current events from a spiritual perspective. Anyone is welcome to join the conversation, no matter your spirituality, faith, or religion, if you have one at all. We meet in three ways: monthly theology pub nights we call "God on Tap", Coffee and Conversation at a local coffee shop, and occasionally for Beer and Hymns—which is just like it sounds: good music, good drink, and good times. We take our motto from good ol' Martin Luther, who once said, "God is at work even when we are drinking beer" (or your favorite beverage). We hope to see you there!
We meet monthly upstairs at Gypsy Blue Restaurant in Ambler to discuss topics, ideas, or events from a spiritual perspective. Check out the God on Tap blog for recent discussion topics.Read more
We gather on Thursday mornings a couple times a month at Weaver's Way Co-Op Cafe in Ambler. There's no topic. We just talk about whatever is on your mind and heart.Read more
We gather occasionally at MaGerk's Pub and Grill in Ft. Washington for Beer and Hymns. Yes, its just what it sounds like: good drink, good music, and one great time.Read more
"The idea behind the meetings was simple: people come out to the bar, grab a drink and then head upstairs for some conversation. Maybe the conversation is about God and religion; maybe it's about life. Doesn't matter, really. The important part is to get people together and get them talking." ~The Ambler Gazette
"At first glance it looks like some backroom gathering of revolutionaries — men and women huddled together beneath a single hanging lamp, everyone holding large glasses of beer, everyone speaking in low tones. But then someone cracks a joke, laughter erupts and people clink their mugs together in toast. This is what God on Tap looks like." ~The Ambler Gazette
"'I like the idea of connecting with places where people already are, where they're already gathering, where they're already talking about things that matter,' Anderson said. Unlike a Sunday service, Scripture and homily aren't the focus of God on Tap, and Anderson often sits back, remaining 'on the edge of the conversation instead of in the center of it.'" ~The Ambler Gazette
God on Tap is hosted by members and friends of Upper Dublin Lutheran Church. Contact Keith Anderson for more information.

The motorcycle industry is a small one, a niche-within-a-niche that tends to attract a wide assortment of odd-but-good people linked through our love of the sport. And then there are the members of the community that tower above the rest. Today, with the passing of Kyle Clack, we lost one of those people.
I met Kyle just a few years ago when he took over media relations duties for Victory Motorcycles from Robert Pandya who'd stepped away to handle the Indian launch. Kyle had a way of building an immediate intimacy that went far beyond the good interpersonal skills required in his job. His geniality filled the room wherever he went, and when you parted, you knew you were better for the time you'd just spent.
I had the good fortune to spend a couple mornings eating breakfast with Kyle at Daytona Bike Week before heading out to do our jobs for our differing employers. It was during these meals that I learned of the wildly varied life that Kyle had lived, making me even more impressed with him. At the end of the meal, he'd say, "At the same time, tomorrow?" and we'd be off.
However, my short experience only scratched the surface of the man Kyle was. This morning, Robert Pandya posted the following eulogy on Facebook, and in it, he expresses the essence of Kyle's life:
It is with the deepest of sadness combined with the appreciation for a life well-lived that we say goodbye to our friend Kyle Clack. On the morning of Thursday January 14th Kyle passed away from complications of a brain tumor diagnosed early last year.
It's important to note that Kyle did not lose a battle, he in fact spent an entire life helping and winning and helping those he loved and many more he did not even know. Kyle has left this Earth a better place and was surrounded by loving friends as he headed off for his last adventure. To any measure, that is ending on a win.
Kyle's passions and work were intertwined. His positive energy, limitless enthusiasm, quick laugh and genuine loving smile always resulted in friendship. Kyle's impact on the World has been far greater than the average person. In his wake is immeasurable camaraderie and inspiration across the nation.
His work with the Ride for Kids helped deliver the vision of the late Mike and Dianne Traynor as well as millions of dollars towards research benefitting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The impact of his work was not limited to fundraising, but the mutual benefit of elevating the stature of motorcyclists through the Ride for Kids events, including the millions of positive impressions left behind. Affected children and families felt that impact every event for nearly a decade, as did the amazing staff of riders and coordinators across the country.
Kyle was the kind of person who measurably accelerated when he saw a friend walking his direction. The kind of guy who would raise a glass of fine bourbon to toast the day, only after he was sure you had some too. Kyle's spirit, passion, friendship and humility are simply models for the rest of us to follow in our own daily lives.
It's undeniable that the world continues on and that death is the constant. Individual life is a short blip in the span of eons. Making the maximum impact, the most genuine of friends and leaving behind a legacy for other to act on is the best way to honor someone no longer with us in body, but who lives in our hearts every day.
Per Kyle's wishes, it's requested that any memorial be a donation to: Care Partners Solace
Kyle will be cremated in a private ceremony, and his ashes will become part of the wind and the Earth that he so loved.
In your next quiet moment, reflect on the legacy of a great and humble man, and let that memory propel you towards your own greater life, for if you were a friend of Kyle Clack you are one of the luckiest people you know.

Get into the Christmas spirit with a trip to Grassington Dickensian Festival with stalls, entertainment, local food and crafts.
For two weekends in the run up to Christmas the lovely cobbled streets of Grassington are transformed to take you back in time. Stall holders and shop keepers dress in Victorian costumes, and musicians, dancers and street entertainers add to the fun. There is an array of stalls selling traditional local country crafts, food and goodies.
When you need a break, clustered around the square are delightful cafes and pubs such as the Grassington House Hotel. Here you will find great food made from locally sourced ingredients including from their small holding at the top of the village. They also make their own Christmas cakes and puddings packed with dried fruit steeped in lashings of barley
wine and brandy.

New Mexico Personal Injury Lawyers Representing Accident Victims in Gallup
Gallup, New Mexico was founded in 1881 and was named after Atlantic and Pacific Railroad paymaster, David Gallup. The city is often referred to as the "Heart of Indian Country" because it is situated in the middle of the Navajo reservation and has residents from the Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi tribes.
Gallup is the county seat of McKinley County and had a population of nearly 22,000 as of the 2010 census. The world famous US Route 66 passes through the city and it is the most populous city along that highway between Flagstaff and Albuquerque.
A Romanticized Roadway Gradually Decommissioned
Today many of us have fond memories or have heard wonderful stories about the iconic US Route 66. Many of us have forgotten, however, just how dangerous of a road this road was and still is today.
"Dead Man's Curve" is one section in Illinois which has proven to be fatal for many motorists who were travelling too quick or who were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Then there is another area, the "Devil's Elbow" in Missouri, which is also a common spot for vehicle accidents. It is also a road which many New Mexican travelers are injured or die on each and every year.
US Route 66 has now become "Historic Route 66" and has been replaced by segments of the Interstate Highway System. But in 2010, the majority of New Mexico fatal vehicle accidents happened on urban interstates like US Route 66 and other principal arterial roads.
- Urban interstates: 305
- Other principal arterial: 238
- Rural interstates: 67
- Local roadway: 3
- Freeway and expressway: 1
Some of the causes of vehicular accidents are due to improperly maintained or poorly constructed roads, but there are a number of other factors which may be the cause behind a vehicle accident.
According a study compiled by CarinsuranceComparison.com, New Mexico ranked fifth for the most careless driving cases in our nation. It ranked 10th for the most drunken driving arrests, 12th for speeding, 16th for citations and 17th for traffic fatalities.
Speaking with an Experienced Car Accident Attorney
Caruso Law Offices, PC have over 30 years experience in dealing with personal injury and car accident claims. We are committed to protecting your health and ensuring that you are compensated for your injuries, and we only recover any fees if we secure an injury settlement for you.
Our Albuquerque car accident attorneys will be happy to meet with you where ever you are in New Mexico. To arrange for a free consultation, please call ( 505-355-2969.

I'm a movie enthusiast. I'm sure most of the movies I see end up being bad ones. But I still think we can gather experiences for Happy Project Management. It's 1989, Lock Up, a Sylvester Stallone vehicle about him trying to purge the last few months of his conviction. Eventually he leads a small group of misfits and starts working on a couple of "projects" together, one of them was rebuilding a '65 Mustang owned by the prison and the other one was the actual prison break.
One of the project team members told Stallone that there's only one rule: DTA, "Don't trust anybody". Another project member was so committed to the Mustang project, that at some point he started thinking that the he would own the Mustang instead of just delivering it. Let me tell you, (spoilers ahead) that both projects failed. The prison break was frustrated by the DTA guy himself. The Mustang project was delivered on time but was destroyed by the prison guards, the Mustang guy died.
Our PM (Stallone) failed. He did not listen to the DTA guy, he should have kept a closer eye on him, and everyone else. The PM also failed telling the Mustang guy he was NOT the customer. Our PM failed on understanding the customer needs, the prison guards did not want the Mustang to be rebuilt. Bummer.
We all have DTA guys in our teams, in our projects, everywhere. And they exercise everyday, they don't trust you or any of the project team members. They will be questioning you and finding ways to sabotage the project. And they will do backstabbing at every chance and listen to other DTA guys, they detect each other. I'm also sure we all have seen Mustang guys in our teams, thinking they own the project, that they know what the customer wants and that their needs are more important than the customers'. They even think they are the customer. They are also telling you everyday that your project sucks because they are not happy.
Well, at the end, they are all wrong, do you want to be a Happy Project Manager?
-Trust your team mates, but keep a close eye on them, make them feel confident and they will deliver, be confident yourself that they will deliver. And if they won't, make sure you'll know ahead and that they come clean about delays.
-If you are not the customer, be sure that you don't put your needs over the customers', and make sure none of your team mates do.
About the DTA and Mustang guys, you will never get rid of them. Bummer.

Whether your into fashion or not the Chanel 2.55 bag is most likely instantly recognisable to you.In the early 1920s, Coco Chanel became frustrated with having to carry her handbags in her arms. Coco then decided to create a handbag that allowed her to use her arms freely. The Chanel 2.55 was inspired by straps found on the soldier's bags. Over the years this original bag has evolved into the Chanel 2.55 that we all know and love today. This bag is most definitely on my buy before I die list.
The Chanel 2.55 is available for €3010 from Brown Thomas or any other major designer department store. But if your budget doesn't quite stretch to that you could always just pick up one of the hundreds of copies on the highstreet. One of these copies is this bag that I found on Asos, available for just €22.22
If that alternative is not to your liking how about this quilted bag from Forever21 that costs €23.90

Swetman, Oscar Johnson, and 'Boy' Bennett visited Ship Island in quest of turtle eggs and returned this morning with a monster turtle weighing between 450 and 500 pounds and 1050 eggs.

Virtualization software maker VMware Inc on Thursday reported a better-than-expected first-quarter profit and raised its full-year forecast, fueled by strong demand for its software used by companies to boost cloud computing efficiency.
Still, VMware shares fell as much as 6.6 percent in extended trading after the company released its results, but pulled back to trade down about 2 percent after VMware provided the forecast on a call with analysts.
VMware has benefited from strong demand from businesses for its virtualization software that allows one computer or server to perform the work of multiple machines by emulating them, which boosts efficiency and helps cut costs.
The company's net income rose 44.1 percent to $232 million, or 56 cents per share, in the first quarter ended May 5. Excluding one-time items, it earned 99 cents per share.
The company said revenue climbed 9.3 percent to $1.74 billion, with services revenue rising 10.7 percent to $1.13 billion.
Analysts had expected a profit of 95 cents per share and total revenue of $1.71 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
VMware's adjusted operating margin of 28.5 percent was lower than its margin of more than 30 percent in the past three quarters.
The company, which is majority-owned by Dell Technologies Inc, said research and development costs jumped 18.2 percent, while sales and marketing expenses rose 3.7 percent.
VMware's billings of $1.67 billion was above Wall Street's estimates of $1.61 billion.
The company's revenue forecast for the current quarter was better than expected, while it raised its full-year revenue forecast.
VMware forecast current-quarter revenue of $1.84 billion-$1.89 billion, while analysts' were expecting $1.81 billion.
Its profit forecast of $1.11-$1.14 per share for the period edged past analysts' estimate of $1.09.
The company raised its full-year revenue forecast to $7.61 billion from a prior forecast of $7.57 billion.
Shares of Palo Alto, California-based VMware have risen about 58 percent in the last 12 months.

Digg Revolt Currently In Progress
There is currently a Digg uprising in progress by the whole Digg community. It all started because on April 30th, 2007, the hex master code to unlock the encryption on all HD DVDs was found at the Doom9 forum and leaked on the web. The thread in question has been linked to by various blogs all over the net. Since the AACS groups cannot or will have a hard time suing Doom9 since its based in Sweden, they are electing to send DMCA takedown notices to various sites that link to the Doom9 thread, or post the key. Google has received a takedown to remove ALL links within its search engine(DMCA safe harbor provision should render this void) and Corey Doctrow, of BoingBoing and EFF fame, has received one for his class's website.
Digg.com was one of the sites that received a takedown notice which resulted from a story being posted to digg containing the key. The story in question received 16,000 diggs in less than 20 hours, the fastest growing digg story ever, and would have probably been the most dugg ever if the Digg admins hadn't taken the story down. This set off a firestorm of posts that is currently getting hotter and larger across the net with people spreading this hex number across their blogs, Jaiku posts, Twitter posts, Facebook groups....well you get the point. Social networking is essentially the anti-christ of censorship. On another note, HOW THE FUCK can the AACS group claim copyright or intellectual property rights on 10 number hex code? I mean, wtf???!?!?!?!!!!1111one
UPDATE: New stories are appearing on digg every minute and are, within 20min to an 1 hour, receiving thousands of diggs by the angry community. People are posting NOTHING but stories containing this hex code in an act of civil disobedience.

Words of Wisdom
Chapter 4: Sidelined with Another Injury
Article 3:
Words of Wisdom
Unexpected Sources Help Us "Find Gain in Pain"
"There is no better teacher than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time." -- Malcolm X
While no one in their right mind would think of Malcolm X as a sports coach, his words reached out and touched me, as I find myself straining to regain the strength and flexibility I took for granted before I fell on a broken sidewalk three short months ago.
And I'm learning from other "masters," likes the great Hasidic Rabbi, Reb Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810), who used to say to his followers: "Know that whatever you break, you can fix." Well, his words are certainly ringing true, I'm pleased to say! Eight weeks after my accident, my doctors reported that the fractures in my jaw and elbow had healed. And with physical therapy continuing and intensifying, I'm hopeful that I will regain full use of my right elbow (which, at the moment, remains swollen and in a slightly bent position) as well as my other injured body parts (right shoulder, wrist and knee).
In seeking solace from my adverse situation, I was delighted to discover the book "Sacred Therapy" by Estelle Frankel, a psychotherapist, who uses Jewish spiritual teachings to help her patients (and readers) find healing from their physical and/or emotional wounds.
I was intrigued with Ms. Frankel's thesis that traumatic events force us to develop new strengths: "Certain powers of the soul can emerge only when we struggle with adversity. Though none of us would ever consciously choose to be ill, when we are lifted out of the secure confines of our ordinary lives by an illness or trauma, we discover new qualities and strengths in ourselves that we may never have imagined ourselves to possess."
While I never thought about it in such "high and mighty" terms, this notion also rang true for me. Twenty years ago, before injuring my right knee the first time, I was a couch potato; complacent and content to work, come home, have dinner and watch TV. An occasional night out shakin' my booty at a dance club satisfied my need to exercise! But after sustaining the knee injury and enduring a lengthy treatment and recovery process, I felt a compelling need to challenge and prove myself physically once released from my doctor's care. Thus began my first-ever exercise regime, which I stuck to like glue. Unlike my "Old Self," the "New Ruth" loved the excitement of trying new sports, such as rock climbing, boxing and scuba diving and competing in road races and triathlons. And as I reached greater levels of strength and fitness, I became healthier, more energetic, and I daresay, a better person. I know, in my heart of hearts, that none of this would have happened but for my knee injury!
Ms. Frankel also address the age-old issue of "why bad things happen" in a fairly novel way, by asking questions such as: "What is God revealing to me through this particular revelation of divinity known as illness?" Whoa! What's that she's saying? That God's talking to ME through my fall on the sidewalk? Could a slab of concrete be my "burning bush" experience?!
Not really!
To support her thesis, she explains that instead of asking "why me?" and seeing a trauma as "God's punishment," one can transform the negative into a revelatory experience, seeing it "as emanating from the same divine source to which we turn for healing." OK, I may need a little more time to fully absorb this teaching…but as "basic believer," I already see that as a result of my trauma, I'm developing a deeper sense of connection with my community…and in time, I hope, with God.
A friend of mine recently asked if I found it frustrating to serve as "head coach" of my loyal group of speed-challenged runners as they train for their fall marathons and ½ marathons while I remain sidelined with injuries. Quite the contrary, I explained! My being a part of their training is tremendously rewarding for me (and hopefully, for them, as well)! To share my knowledge and experience with friends and feel supported by them as I take them with me on my journey to recovery…well, that's what's helping me get through each hellish physical therapy session and weekend walking workout!
So, instead of allowing myself to spiral down the slippery slope of negative thinking, I'm doing my best to remain optimistic by complying with my physical therapists' instructions, seeking guidance from books and support from friends, and in my own way, re-discovering the power of prayer…with the hope that it'll all help me get to a place of "complete healing"...of body, mind and spirit. And in the immortal words of Sir Winston Churchill:
I promise to "Never give up. Never. Never. Never."
(…Even if it kills me!)

Biz Buzz: New tasting room to host unique art and wine palate
One North County mixed-media artist hopes to create a multifaceted venue for wine and art with the construction of his new 3,000-square-foot wine tasting room in southern Paso Robles.
Artist Dale Evers is building seven wine-pouring spaces as part of his 10-acre Dragonfly Gardens development — a venue with outdoor sculpture displays and working art studios at 3055 Limestone Way.
Construction of the tasting room began a year ago, he said, and is the first phase of a $20 million development slated for completion in April 2010. The second phase is set to begin afterward, with plans for additional business spaces for coffee roasters, olive oil vendors and a kitchen and patio area. An expansion of the gardens with trails is also in the mix, he said.
The tasting booths, starting at rents of $1,000 per month, are being marketed as a stepping-stone for wineries producing roughly 200 cases per year.
"The idea is to provide a place and an experience where people come, relax, enjoy the gardens, witness working artists fulfilling their muse and taste up to seven different wines," Evers said of the development.

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Defenders!
"I'm the Immortal Iron Fist, sworn protector of K'un Lun." With those words, Danny Rand (Finn Jones) announces himself proudly to everyone he meets in Marvel's The Defenders. Rarely is anyone impressed. In nearly every instance, Danny is met with incredulity or eye-rolling. And yet, The Defenders doesn't work at all without Iron Fist. Of the four superheroes in Marvel and Netflix's long-anticipated superhero team up that includes Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), and Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Iron Fist is the most integral to the plot of the series and the machinations of the Hand, the ancient evil criminal organization led by Alexandra (Sigourney Weaver). The Hand desires Danny Rand's power, while the Defenders (reluctantly) work alongside Danny to keep the power of the Iron Fist from them. For once, everyone wants Iron Fist.
Marvel's streak of critically-acclaimed, fan-favorite hits on Netflix hit a roadblock when Iron Fist premiered in March of this year. Daredevil season one effectively built the street-level heroics of Marvel New York City and its second season was even better received. Jessica Jones was beloved, while Luke Cage inspired numerous thought-provoking think pieces. When fans met Danny Rand, the billionaire heir to Rand Enterprises who returned to New York after 15 years of learning martial arts in the mysterious Himalayan monastery K'un-Lun, they were decidedly unimpressed. Unlike the emotionally torn Matt Murdock, the wittily sarcastic Jessica Jones, and the noble Luke Cage, Danny Rand was found to be childish and irritating, and the series was problematic. Fans and critics alike came down hard on Iron Fist, and quickly designated him as "the worst Defender."
Fans who skipped Iron Fist and are meeting Danny Rand for the first time in The Defenders will likely come away with the opinion that he's an annoying appendage to the other, more mature heroes. The Defenders doesn't shy away at all from depicting Danny's character defects. However, Danny Rand in The Defenders does make genuine progress as a character from how he was in his own series, and he is given leeway to show some better shades of his personality. Rather than de-emphasize Danny Rand in The Defenders, showrunners Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez took the opposite route and made Iron Fist the central hero around whom all of the action involving the Hand revolved.
When we last saw Danny Rand and his Hand-fighting partner/love interest Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), they had arrived in the Himalayas only to find K'un-Lun had disappeared as a direct result of Danny abandoning his role as its protector. The Defenders catches up with Danny and Colleen months later, having scoured the world unsuccessfully chasing the Hand with nothing to show for their efforts. By the time they returned to the familiar space of Colleen's Chikara Dojo in New York, Danny was more frustrated and angry than ever in his failure to be a "one-man army." Colleen wisely suggested a new strategy: finding some help, maybe joining a team.
It turned out finding some new friends was exactly the magic formula Danny needed. By the time he meets the other three Defenders and they fight their way out of the Hand's Midland Circle skyscraper and take refuge in the Royal Dragon Chinese restaurant, we began to see some brilliant flashes of the kind of character Danny Rand could eventually become. Danny is the youngest Defender in age and life experience; rubbing up against the more world-weary Jessica Jones and the stalwart Luke Cage, Danny was the only one who grasped the gee-whiz coolness of having other heroes with superpowers around to fight alongside. Suddenly, Danny became relaxed and started being funny. He proudly paid for all of the damage to the restaurant and bought everyone dinner with his black card. He also read the room and quickly realized a team up was a natural progression of four superheroes showing up at the same place at the same time to fight the same villains. Danny also prodded Luke about the two of them forming a unit, teasing comic fans who want to see the comic book Power Man and Iron Fist banded together on Netflix.
Danny was most impressed by Daredevil, however. He'd heard of the exploits of The Devil of Hell's Kitchen and was shocked to find out Matt Murdock was a blind lawyer-turned-ninja trained by Stick (Scott Glenn) and The Chaste, which was an army meant to fight the Hand that Danny had no idea existed. Danny also thought Daredevil was just plain cool, especially his weapons like his billy club, though he and the other Defenders resented Matt keeping his relationship with the Hand's weapon Elektra (Elodie Yung) from them. Of the four Defenders, Danny Rand and Matt Murdock had the most in common; both had deep ties to the Hand and had been fighting them for years. Matt Murdock ultimately understood it as well, though he was hesitant to put his trust in Danny or any of the other Defenders until the very end when he had no other choice.

We Admit It: Fred Meyer Sock Sale News Story Was Faked In Our Studio/
You know that TV news story that seemed to be dominating local airwaves right before Black Friday--the one where the reporter on a live remote encounters gale force winds blowing hundreds of socks?
Yeah, well it wasn't real.
We should know. We helped create the in-studio news footage for the fraudulent segment, knowing all along that it was intended to deceive gullible viewers.
Well, we're not on our deathbed, but we feel like it's time to come forward with the truth anyway.
The whole thing was just an elaborate ruse to sell socks on Black Friday at Fred Meyer and Kroger stores. If there's a grain of truth to the whole thing, it's that they have an unusually large selection of high quality socks at once-a-year savings.
Otherwise, you should know that all the news reporters and anchors were portrayed by actors. And the sock storm supposedly threatening the whole region was nothing more than a giant fan with handfuls of socks tossed in front of it.
We do admit it was kind of fun to mock up news studio lighting and do the sound the old-school-way with wired lav mics. But at the same time we're terribly ashamed we fooled all those poor people into loading their belongings into their cars and fleeing town, or wasting their money on sock storm insurance.
Full disclosure. Mea culpa. Conscience cleared.
BTW, we would feel so much better about ourselves if you would look at the production stills below and watch one of the video clips, which show how great our fake news set looked.

What's In Store
USPS: Today will be busiest mailing day of the year
The U.S. Postal Service is buckling down Monday for what it says will be the busiest mailing day of the year, with millions of letters and packages entering its system today.
Dec. 21 is expected to be the busiest delivery day, thanks in large part to holiday shoppers nationwide opting to buy online rather than in stores. That day, 30 million packages are expected to be delivered, said Lynn Taylor, USPS communications coordinator for the mid-Carolinas district.
The local USPS is encouraging Charlotte residents to ship their items as early as possible to make sure cards, gifts and other parcels make their way to their destinations by Christmas.
About 7 million customers, the most of any other day of the year, are expected to visit USPS.com Monday, Taylor said. USPS offices are also expected to experience the heaviest foot traffic Monday, Taylor added.
During the holiday season, the USPS processes about 536 million pieces of mail a day, compared with its average non-holiday daily volume of 506 million pieces, Taylor said.
"I would definitely encourage people to mail as soon as possible. The earlier the better," Taylor said Monday in Charlotte.
To accommodate the increased traffic, the USPS has four Charlotte-area locations open Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. over the holidays: the downtown station, Ballantyne station, Matthews post office and Huntersville post office.
The local USPS is also encouraging residents to visit its website (USPS.com), where they can purchase stamps, order shipping supplies, pay for postage and arrange for pickup.
The surge in online shopping has also shaped the way the USPS and other companies have handled their seasonal hiring. The USPS said last month it's hiring 390 seasonal workers in the mid-Carolinas district, which includes the southern part of North Carolina and the northern part of South Carolina. That's up from 160 last year.
Online spending this holiday season is expected to increase 6 to 8 percent to $105 billion, up from a rise of 5.8 percent last year, according to the National Retail Federation.

I am reflecting on G.O.T on BGN. Follow me.
I am declaring Samwell Tarly the winner of the first episode of Season 7 of Game of Thrones.
Why? I know he didn't win a kingdom. He wasn't even fresh from battle. GOT's most famous nerd, however, did succeed in his mission, which was the most important of anything any of the characters did in that first episode.
Samwell Tarly spent most of "Dragonstone" cleaning chamber pots and trying not to gag. He was there for the long game, a mission his best [jock friend] Jon sent him on long before the former Keeper of the Watch became the King of the North. As Arya continues her kill list, Cersei contemplates her next move, and Dany begins her surprise attack on Westeros, Sam has the real fight in mind and is biding his time until he can make his own contribution.

On tour with President Bush - Day Four
The BBC's Nick Bryant is travelling with US President George W Bush on his European tour. He is sending us regular e-mails charting the president's progress around the continent.
Day Four - Dateline: St Petersburg
Sixteen months into his presidency, and there are times still when George W Bush has the look of an innocent abroad.
As he entered the gold-laced halls of the Kremlin on Thursday, his face was a portrait of complete bewilderment and wonder.
He had the startled gaze of a blind man, whose eyes had just been soaked for the first time with light.
But it appeared from his amazed reaction that never before had he seen such architectural treasures.
Why am I telling you this? For the simple reason that it points to a larger issue, one of great pertinence to the most power human being on earth.
George W Bush is the least travelled President certainly of the past 50 years, and he has visited more countries in the past 16 months than the previous 55 years of his life.
Narrow world view
He is being given a presidential 'grand tour', absorbing many of the cultural experiences which many of his countrymen and women would have enjoyed by their mid-twenties.
For a leader who claims to be 'the Education President', he still has an awful lot to learn.
Recently, after a summit between Crown Prince Abdullah and George W Bush, the Saudis complained that much of the meeting had been taken up explaining the basic rudimentaries of the Arab-Israeli dispute.
"He learnt all he knows about foreign policy at the International House of Pancakes," scoffed the President. It begs the obvious question: Where did his son receive his tutelage?
Here in St Petersburg, the President happily agreed to a question and answer session with students at the city's university, alma mater of one Vladimir Putin.
The president seems to like events like this. He has started to include them on many of his visits.
This was Bush as lecturer-President, promising the students "the most sophisticated seminar in international relations" they had ever heard.
Some members of the White House press corps struggled to suppress a laugh.

Despite the best-laid plans, life sometimes has other ideas.
Ethan Yoder has toiled to escape his small-minded farming community, and he's finally earned his degree and made it to Indianapolis—where he lands a job at a pharmaceutical company and meets handsome and successful Marcus. Marcus introduces Ethan to the fun-filled life of his dreams—fancy dinners, courtside seats at NBA games, even a trip to the Indianapolis 500. But Marcus's happy-go-lucky veneer hides a man frustrated with a job he hates and his failure at romance due to factors he's only beginning to understand. Ethan still has his eyes on the prize—a lucrative career—and he must figure out how to hold on to one opportunity without letting another slip away. If he and Marcus can come to a deeper understanding, their road might lead to a happily ever after.

Steelers sign 2nd round pick Juju Smith-Schuster
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed second-round pick Juju Smith-Schuster to a four-year deal.
Financial details were not released. The Steelers took the wide receiver out of Southern California with the 62nd overall selection in the draft. Smith-Schuster caught 213 passes for 3,092 yards with 25 touchdown catches in 40 games at USC. He is expected to fight for a starting spot alongside All-Pro Antonio Brown.
Smith-Schuster is the fifth of Pittsburgh's eight picks to sign a contract. First-round pick T.J. Watt, third-round pick Cameron Sutton and fourth-rounder Josh Dobbs have yet to come to terms.
The Steelers also signed quarterback Bart Houston and wide receiver Canaan Severin on Wednesday and released quarterback Nick Schuessler and linebacker Akil Blount. Blount is the son of Steelers Hall of Fame safety Mel Blount.

Sven Berg: What'll happen to the old Grove bricks?
The news brief I wrote yesterday on the renovation of The Grove Plaza in Downtown Boise got way more attention than I expected.
Among the questions I received was, "What will happen to the old bricks that will be removed to make way for the new ones?
After a quick call to the very helpful Laura Williams at Capital City Development Corporation, Boise urban renewal agency and owner of The Grove, I think I have it figured out.
Here goes: The old bricks, which have been in place for almost 30 years, have the profile of a capital "I" — a shape that's hard to reproduce because the mold for those original bricks came was unique to CCDC. Sometime since the production of those original bricks, that mold broke.
The renewal agency expects most of the bricks that are being removed from The Grove to break — if they haven't broken already — because they're so brittle from decades of exposure to the elements, not to mention concert- and event-goers.
The agency will place the "I" bricks that do survive excavation into storage. It will use them to replace broken or deteriorated bricks in CCDC-owned streetscapes, such as 8th Street, where the same shape of brick is in use.
To those whose names are on the old bricks, fear not; your name will not be lost. In fact, it might be duplicated if your brick survived and ends up in another streetscape. That's because CCDC, "as a special gift to the community," will put copy the inscriptions from the old bricks into the new ones. Those bricks will be placed closest to the fountain in the center of The Grove.
You can find information on how to get your name inscribed on a new brick here.
In a new development, Williams told me CCDC will allow youth and school groups to sell brick inscriptions as a fundraiser for their own programs. Those groups will receive $5 for every red, $60 brick inscription they sell and $10 for every black, $100 brick they sell, Williams said. For more information, call Williams at (208) 391-7305.
I hope this clears up any questions about The Grove renovation project. If not, let us know.
