"Auto-Detection-with-Prompting Feature was a really cool surprise"
Reviewer: -Free_Stuff_Addict
Review Date: 2015-12-17
Pros: - easy setup - not a RAM hog - multiple features & settings - not complicated to "figure out" - does not appear be free in exchange for incessantly posting annoying pop-up ads in the lower right area of your task bar or browser window like MANY so-called "free" software do...
Cons: + + ZIP _ NADA _ ZILCH + + So-Far-So-Good ! ! ! ! No Complaints here ! !
Other Thoughts: 1. Recommend you get a little familiar with the interface prior to use and when you are ready to start using it keep in mind that you download a program(app) or something like a PDF or simple word processing file clicking a different menu option than you do for media files such as a video or a torrent file. You'll see what I mean, it's not difficult or complicated, but this tip is nice to know in advance.
2. I was really happy to see that after a few downloads, like just a few moments ago, I clicked the download button on a site and did not need to also manually open Free Download Manager or cut & paste anything such as a download page url string or do anything at all,, Free Download Manager has a browser plug-in that detected the download pending and then discreetly displayed a small very easy to read and understand pop-up message confirming that I wanted to proceed with the download (with an option of what directory location, etc etc), I clicked "Yes" and the download went smooth as silk and pretty quick too. That's a real REAL nice touch.
I'm really happy I came across this utility.. for once you actually get what you thought you were getting, and even a few welcome surprises EXTRA,,, and FOR FREE... Thanks Guys... FREE DOWNLOAD MANAGER ROCKS

Main Panel / Service Upgrades
I'm looking to add a few circuits to my home (built 1955) to go with a garage enclosure and a new auxilliary building, but the current panel is both full and looks to have a questionable work history. Additionally, there is no main breaker on the panel. For simplicity's sake, I believe a panel replacement would be the best solution both for this task and allowing for future expansion.
I am confident in my abilities to replace the panel (and what I'm not comfortable with, my father can almost certainly handle), but am unsure about a few things which may trip me up at inspection time. Any comments or advice on these would be much appreciated:
1. No ground circuit in the house. The wiring to most of the house (all except garage) is fabric-sheathed, 2 wire cable. I plan to use GFCI breakers on these circuits, so that while not grounded, the circuits will be protected. Will that suffice, or will I have to upgrade my wiring? As far as the ground circuit goes, I have a water pipe entering the house approximately 10' from the panel that I could ground to; alternately, I can easily drive a ground spike. This will give me a ground for any new circuits that I add.
2. Wire length. The current panel is smaller than any replacement panel will be, and routing the existing wires into place may be a problem unless I splice on some pigtails. Can this be done? If so, should it be in a dedicated junction box or can it be done in panel? Will my inspector yell at me?
3. Service upgrade. I believe (not sure) that I have 100amp service at present. What is involved in upgrading the service? I know I'll need a heftier cable from meter to panel, but will the mater also need upgrading? Is that my responsibility or the power company's?
Thanks much
What size service do you have right now? 100a ? 200a ?
If 200a a sub-panel might be a good route
If 100a you might look into upgrading to a 200a
Best bet is to check w/local building Dept & see what they want in advance
You will need 2 ground rods driven outside & connected to the panel w/min #6 wire
You can make splices inside the panel, again run this by the Inspector
Some might disagree
If you don't have a main disconnect on the panel then you must have one outside
Check to see what the rating is & if other breakers are in that panel/disconnect
Upgrading may need a new service feed to your house
200a will need a new meter, usually you pay for that
In some cases you may need to pay for the service feed upgrade
Call your POCO to find out & if you can upgrade
I'd upgrade to 3 wire NMB wherever possible
Any pics if the current panel ?
Thanks for the quick replay, Scuba_Dave.
No pics with me at present, but I'll take a couple this evening and post them.
I'm not sure what the service size is presently. If I had to guess I'd say 100a. I wouldn't mind an upgrade to 200a - in fact that'd be for the best as I'd like to provide a 60a circuit to the new building.
So I'll have to have a main disconnect installed regardless? That shouldn't be hard to do.
Wiring upgrades are going to be difficult in this house, but I'll upgrade what needs upgrading to make it safe. Is it going to be a requirement to do so to replace the panel?
Usually you do not have to upgrade wiring & other items when replacing a panel
But local codes can be different & local Inspector may have his own opinion
Typically, two 8' ground rods, 6' apart with #6 wire for grounding.
#4 wire to metallic piping systems for bonding.
Someone else correct me if I am wrong, but if you have older wiring w/out ground, as typical in alot of older homes, putting a GFCI breaker in your panel will not provide ground fault protection to your circuit, as there is no ground from the outlet back to the panel..... you would have to upgrade the wiring.
Wow, can you explain why it would then. .....I asked an electrician, he said it would not protect the circuit. Please explain.
My mistake! Amazing what you learn in these forums! I am not a real electrician, I just play one on TV. So, after a little digging, this is what I found:
According to the NEC, it is allowable to install GFI's in ungrounded situations. This makes sense, since the GFI is not dependent of the ground to function. Remember, it does not measure shorts to the ground, it measures the current difference between the hot and neutral wires. A sudden difference, indicating that there is another path for the electricity to flow through... you, for example, causes the GFI to open the circuit and save you from permanently curly hair.
Of course, most safety-conscious electricians prefer not to install a grounded-type "three prong" outlet in an ungrounded situation. Think about it... once the outlet is installed, there is no way for anyone to know if the outlet is really grounded or not without testing it. Thus, there is a hidden shock hazard should an appliance or tool that needs grounding... has three-prong plug... is plugged into this outlet.
However, the NEC allows GFI's to be installed in ungrounded situations PROVIDED THAT the outlet is labelled "ungrounded". Though not "officially" approved in the NEC, the grounding hole in the GFI can be permanently defeated by using an epoxy or other adhesive to seal the hole.
Though a GFI will activate if a grounded appliance develops an electrical short circuit to ground... such as when YOU touch a metal saw and become the path to ground... you will experience a momentary electrical shock. This could be a minor tingle or could be more catastrophic, especially if you are on a ladder or roof. This excerpt is from an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) article on wiring in nursing homes and the dangers to employees working with ungrounded outlets...
pics of current panel / replies to replies
As requested, here are some pics of the current panel. Apologies for the poor quality in picture 2, but my photography skills aren't great.
The cutout has been snipped at the top
The top left dual 50a breaker shuts off the 10 110v circuits below it, as well as the stove and dryer circuits, which are wired into the lugs that the 50a breaker connects to. The dual 30a breakers on the top right control the A/C outdoor unit and an older, unused window unit outlet. Its not readily apparant in the picture, but the A/C's wiring isn't 3-conductor wire, its 2-conductor+ground. Uses the black and white as hot and the ground wire as neutral. Seems unsafe/unwise/lazy to me, but I'm not an expert at this.
To answer other questions/comment on replies thus far:
The ground of circuits would come from an equipment grounding conductor run with the new circuits.
sorry to bump, just trying to figure out everything in my last post before i get moving
You can leave the 240 volt stuff as is unless you want to upgrade. In the olden days the 240 appliances used the same wire for the neutral and ground. It's still legal to use existing circuits like this but it's not a bad idea to replace them. In a typical panel change I just leave it the way it was. If there is more work going on like a full kitchen remodel with new appliances, I will try and sell them new 240V circuits.
Good news re: leaving the existing 240V circuits as is. It wouldn't be too hard to replace them, but if I can leave as is for now and come back to it later thats a good thing to know.

(CNSNews.com) – During a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Thursday, Rick Santorum was asked what he thought about Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) calling him a pork barrel spender.
Santorum said he was active in entitlement reform while McCain only focused on the "very, very small area of spending called earmarks, which is not going to solve the budget deficit problem."
"Could you give me your opinion about McCain calling you a pork barrel spender?" a reporter asked during a campaign stop at the Tilt'n Diner in Tilton, N.H.
"Very simple. That I voted to cut spending when I was in Congress," Santorum said.
"I was very tough in trying to keep appropriations counts down, and I also was very active on entitlement reform, which of course is where the area where the big deficits are, and I think that differentiated me from Senator McCain is I was the one actively going after entitlement reform, and John McCain focused on the very, very small area of spending called earmarks, which is not going to solve the budget deficit problem," he added.
"What's going to solve the budget problems are standing up and taking on these tough entitlement programs, which many members of Congress did not do, and I did," Santorum said.
McCain endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination. Santorum added that Romney was also weak on entitlement reform, and he's "not surprised that the two of them are working together."

Maryellen Skulski Mitrano '00
Which dorm(s) did you live in?
McKean for the first two years, then Rooke in my senior year. I spent my junior year in London.
Which staff/faculty member inspired you most?
Donna Berghorn. She made me aware of my talents, and challenged and encouraged me at the same time. If it wasn't for her Desktop Publishing class I might not be a graphic designer today!
How do you think your classmates remember you?
As that strange girl who liked the Backstreet Boys, probably.
Where do you live now?
Medford, Mass. My husband is from there, and we met doing a play together with the Medford community theater group.
What are you doing these days?
During the day I'm a graphic designer for an engineering company. In my free time I have an online store called "le magasin des morts," which is French for "shop of the dead." About six years ago I realized I had a lot of ideas for greeting cards, buttons, t-shirts, etc. So I thought, why not make them and see if people will buy them? And they did. And since I love horror and all things macabre (I have a horror-themed room in my house!) that's where most of my inspiration comes from.
Okay, we're intrigued. Tell us more.
I sometimes go to horror conventions to peddle my wares, and those are fun because I'm totally in my element and surrounded by other horror freaks! I've also become friendly with people in the horror biz and design items for horror celebrities - people like Bill Moseley from "House of 1000 Corpses" and Gaylen Ross from "Dawn of the Dead" -- who in turn autograph them and sell them for much more than I can. Most of my business is wholesale to stores throughout the country, including Newbury Comics and the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast. My greeting cards were even a featured "must have" in Rue Morgue Magazine's "Needful Things" page, which was a great honor! To check out my designs, go to www.lemagasindesmorts.com.
So, as a horror buff do you look forward to Halloween?
Yes! Costumes, candy and carnage! Any holiday where fake blood is an acceptable decorative accessory is fine by me.
Any favorite Halloween costumes from your college days?
Definitely the kick-butt, light-up Queen Amidala costume I handmade senior year.
Favorite scary movie?
Although it's not that scary "American Psycho" holds a special spot in my dark little heart.
Least scary horror movie to watch this Halloween?
"The People Under the Stairs" was pretty lame.
Favorite quote?
Oh, yes, there will be blood. -- "Saw II"
They say there are ghosts at Colby-Sawyer. Ever see one?
Sadly, no. Although I was always bugging Officer Terry to take me to the old academy building to look for them.
Take a blood-curdling trip, if you dare, to see all the tricks and treats at Maryellen's Web site, www.lemagasindesmorts.com.
Know an alumna/us who should be here? Let us know!

|Additional Information
Many extreme demands are imposed on the soldier, and they have to be evaluated within an overall systems concept. It is of particular importance to reduce the thermal signature of the soldier. The signature is influenced by the clothing and the equipment carried. It varies with time of day, weather, seasons and background. The correlation of the significant signature parameters and their constraints will be investigated. The group will determine whether it is feasible to combine the parameters into a signature model of the soldier system. The expected output will be a report identifying signature reduction needs and demonstrating camouflage solutions. Increased survival of those involved in dismounted close combat and enhanced mission effectiveness. Results will complement other enhancements underway in the nations under the heading of "Soldier Modernisation".
The capability to provide vehicles and weapon systems with multi spectral camouflage has been demonstrated and service implementations are underway. The same cannot be said for the soldier involved in dismounted close combat where movement and physiological issues impose significant constraints on the options available. To date acceptable, successful multi-spectral signature control for the individual soldier is not available. The R&D effort devoted to camouflage by most NATO nations is limited and involves a small number of specialists. There is a tendency for certain countries to have particular expertise in specific areas of the threat spectrum. Collaboration brings together a wide range of specialist skills and knowledge to ensure that the topic is dealt with in its entirety and national centres of technological expertise are brought to the attention of the wider NATO community.
In the past, SCI-005 has directed its efforts towards the development and selection of camouflage hardware, as applied to stationary and moving ground targets. A serious problem now needing particular attention is counter-surveillance measures for the individual soldier. Advances in modern sensor systems have made increased efforts in counter-surveillance essential in order to improve the individual soldiers' chances of survival on the battlefield.

R.I.P Louise Bourgeois
"An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing"- Louis Bourgeois
The internationally revered artist whose intensely personal work was inspired by psychological conflict, feminist consciousness and a fertile imagination, has died. She was 98.
Bourgeois gave me my first glimpse of feminist art. While her works were extremely jolting (especially for a 16 year old), she taught me things about being a woman that I understand now more than ever.
Her sculptures were deeply provocative and she was often chastised by her male counterparts for being "vulgar" and "obscene"
Now she's considered one of the most important artists in the world.
Here are some of my favorite pieces from the late, great Louise Bourgeois...

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/1/2014 (1243 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's not quite as cold as yesterday, but it's still colder than normal for this time of year — a trend that looks set to continue for most of the next week.
Environment Canada says that by 8 a.m. this morning, it was already warmer today than it got all yesterday, on its way to a high of -17ºC under mainly sunny skies. However, a bit of west wind will push the wind chill to about -32.
Clear skies this evening will turn to clouds before morning, as temperatures stay fairly mild, with a low of -20ºC.
Cloudy skies tomorrow morning will clear around noon, although it will be a bit windy, with westerly gusts up to 60 km/h. The high tomorrow afternoon will be -10ºC.
After tomorrow, a string of cold, clear days are in the forecast.
Thursday should be sunny, with a high of -20ºC; Friday will be sunny also with a high of -14ºC.
On the weekend, Saturday and Sunday will be similar, featuring sunny days and a high around -16ºC. Monday will also be sunny, with a high of -17ºC.
The normal high for this time of year is -10ºC; the normal low is -21ºC.
The coldest it's ever been on this date is -44.4ºC, set in 1966. The warmest ever was in 1976, when it as 3.3ºC.

Fatherhood is, so far, "amazing," says Williams, with the caveat that he's only "four or five weeks in." The actor, who also starred in Lee Daniels' The Butler, adds, "It's hard to describe. It's wonderful — a new discovery every day. It's great and I'm loving it."
This is the first child for Williams, 32, and his wife Drake-Lee, a real estate broker. The couple were married in 2012.

Lobos on Title Run in Sin City as Men Eye Triple Crown
May 7, 2013
Meet Notes | Schedule | Men's Start List | Women's Start List | Live Results
LAS VEGAS — It's time for the Lobos to play with house money.
In a high-stakes, winner-takes-all showdown, the University of New Mexico track and field teams are aiming for a prime-time payday as they roll up to this week's Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Sheila Tarr Smith Field at Myron Partridge Stadium in Las Vegas.
The Lobos, who are definite challengers on both the men's and women's sides, look to cash in on the expectations as the men set their sights on the "Triple Crown"—winning the conference titles in cross-country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field.
But it won't be an easy feat to accomplish.
"Sometimes people win really big in Las Vegas," said New Mexico head coach Joe Franklin. "But the odds are always against you."
While bettors aren't setting spreads for this clash among Mountain West rivals, the Lobo men are shaping up as contenders in the six-team field that features Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and Wyoming.
However, the men are in that position despite not being dealt the best hand as a number of potential scorers are redshirting or injured and won't be competing this week.
"We've ended up redshirting or have had people coming off injury [and that amounts to] probably 70 points," Franklin said. "It's going to be very difficult."
Nonetheless, the men are primed to pull off the program's first "Triple Crown" after claiming the school's first indoor track and field title in February and the program's fourth-straight cross-country crown last October. The Lobos came close to achieving this in 1965 and 1966, winning both the cross-country and outdoor track and field titles.
Pacing the men's championship bid are the Lobos' full house of distance stars and jumping standouts.
Luke Caldwell, a two-time indoor conference champ in February, is entered in the 5000-meter run and the 10000-meter run and looks to lead the men with his conference-leading time in the 5K.
Patrick Zacharias is also aiming for a high payout in the 5K and 10K, as are Elmar Engholm, Alex Herring and Adam Bitchell in the 1500. Herring is also entered in the 800 alongside Gabe Aragon and JP Cordova, while Engholm is slated to compete in the 3000 steeplechase.
Sprinters Derek Montoya (100), Thomas Trujillo (100, 200) and Chris Kline (400) are also vying for team points while Carlos Wiggens and Ridge Jones look to make successful outdoor debuts in the 100.
However, the men's jumpers are looking to up the ante as they come in with three conference leaders.
Kendall Spencer leads the MW in the long jump, while Ty Kirk and Django Lovett are on top of the conference in the triple jump and high jump, respectively. Both Spencer and Lovett claimed MW titles at the indoor championships, while Kirk is rolling as of late in the triple jump.
Floyd Ross, who has competed only once outdoors, is also scheduled to defend his recent indoor crown in the triple jump.
Additional field athletes competing are Marcus Simon and Michael Ellis in the javelin; Robert Warensjo in the pole vault; Yannick Roggatz and Zach Smith in the long jump; and Markus Miller in the high jump.
Still, Franklin understands how difficult it will for New Mexico to repeat outdoors with a number of important athletes out and a group of staunch opponents.
"There's just so many unknowns," he said. "Maybe we can get there and do everything we can and see if we can be relevant when the 4x4 comes around."
For the women, the key of the meet will almost entirely be relevancy.
"We hope to improve on last year's stellar seventh-place finish," Franklin said, referring to the women's decidedly lackluster seventh-place showing at the 2012 outdoor championships.
But Franklin has confidence as the women place their bets versus the nine-team field, which includes Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Nevada, San Diego State, UNLV and Wyoming.
"I think the women will be significantly better," he said. "I think they have an outside shot if things go well."
While nationally ranked San Diego State is the odd-on favorite to repeat on their indoor title, the women are in the conversation and are sitting on a strong hand.
For the women, their title shot runs through the runners, which features athletes ranked top-three in the MW in six of the 10 individual track events.
Josephine Moultrie headlines the charge with her conference-leading times in the 1500 and 5000. Moultrie, who is also entered in the 800, is backed by the solid supporting cast of Imogen Ainsworth (1500, 3000 steeplechase), Chloe Anderson (800, 1500), Charlotte Arter (800, 1500), Kirsten Follett (1500), Nicola Hood (5000, 3000 steeplechase), Janna Mitsos (5000), Kendra Schaaf (5000, 10000) and Shawna Winnegar (5000, 10000).
"That group of distance runners is running pretty darn well," Franklin said.
The women are also depending on strong showings from their aces in the pole vault, Amber Menke, Margo Tucker and Annie Stirling.
The horizontal jumpers are also looking like solid bets, with Yeshemabet Turner performing well in the long and triple jumps alongside Casey Dowling and Aasha Marler.
Javelin thrower Lexi Ross and multi-event athletes Samantha Bowe and Holly Van Grinsven can also chip in valuable points as the women aim to upset the Aztecs.
However, the wild card for the women might just be the sprints. Shirley Pitts, who is returning home to Las Vegas, is the best of the bunch and leads Tawsha Brazley, Zoe Howell and Jasmin McCray in the 400. Kayla Fisher-Taylor can also produce for the Lobos in the short sprints.
Currently, the Lobo women check in at third in the Women's Mountain Region Rankings that was released by the U.S. Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Association on Tuesday. The Lobo men are ranked 12th in the men's version of the same rankings. In the national rankings, the men are ranked 58th and the women are 85th.
The meet kicks off Wednesday, May 8, with the women's heptathlon at 10:30 a.m., and is followed up Thursday with the conclusion of the men's decathlon at 11 a.m. On Friday, the women's 10000 opens the day at 8 a.m., with field events starting up with the women's discus at 10 a.m. The meet's final day, Saturday, starts with the women's 5000 at 8 a.m. and ends at 3:10 p.m. with the men's 4x400 relay.
Live results are available through the Mountain West's official website. Check both GoLobos.com and TheMWC.com for results and recaps, including a full New Mexico recap Saturday.

Nice rifle.
Its been a while since I've been here so thought I'd stop by to say Hi and post my latest and last gun purchase for 2009. Which was on Christmas eve day, the 24th.
Its a Marlin model 36G. I have wanted a 2/3 tube Marlin for some time now and when this rifle was posted for sale/trade on a local forum I could not pass it up.
Many here will know this information already but for those that don't and might care, the 36G was a budget version of the 336. It was replaced by the model 30. My gun according to the serial number (AA 145##) was made in 1965. A total of 5,930 model 36G's were produced between 1964 and 1965 - all in .30-30 chambering.
The sharp eyed folks will notice both a Williams receiver peep sight and the standard rear sight still mounted on the barrel. I will be removing the standard rear and replacing it with a dovetail slot blank. This small change I think will make the entire rifle look better. I've already ordered a set of specific screw driver bits for the 336's from Brownell's and will be ordering new replacement screws for most of the rifle as soon as I can through to Marlin. (Many of the screw heads have been "buggered" over time by folks using the wrong size screwdrivers). Edited to add after I made this initial post I couldn't wait for Monday so I went on line and ordered all new screws through Brownells web site. I qualify for their trade discount, all outside metal screws plus a new ejector and ejector spring delivered were a little over $40. Not sure if the rifle didn't come with an ejector, or if I lost it when I disassembled the rifle, but I could not find it in my pile of parts when I got done with disassembly. Worst case I'll have a spare ejector, like all the current screws that are still serviceable.
I'm excited about getting out to shoot this gun - why I really don't know. But recently I've come to enjoy shooting lever guns more so than bolt guns. But still not as much as handguns. The stock looks really nice in the picture but it needs to be re-finished. I will do that by using some dark Walnut stain and Tru Oil after I remove the factory finish.
Regards and Happy New Year,
a close up of the receiver. You can see the excellent condition of the metal.

I still have not been to the range to shoot her. But I did take everything apart and cleaned the rifle well. The new screws and ejector arrived for the reassembly - turns out I really did not need half the screws I ordered so I now have extras.
While I was at it I refinished the stock as the original finish was really worn in places. I used the dark walnut stain and TruOil. I'm thinking about putting a recoil pad on it, like the 336T pictured, but haven't decided for sure yet.
Maybe tomorrow I'll get a chance to go to the range and see if it shoots as well as I hope.
Well I got out to the range. It was freezing cold, but sunny. The range I shot at was 50 yards. Ammunition used was generic Federal 170-grain flat point. For some reason the groups shot by the 36G were very similar to the 336T that I also shot that day (vertical stringing).
I could not lower the rear peep low enough on the 36G to hit point of aim. As can be seen in the top target picture, the one shot with the 36G, I am still shooting about 3-4 high even with the peep adjusted as low as it will go. Now I am thinking about getting a higher front sight to help solve this problem. The 336T as can be seen is dead on. While these groups are not the greatest, and can probably be improved on with a different load, they are good enough for me.
Picture of my clubs rifle range The far berm is 100yds the near is 50 yds.
I also have a 1965 Model 36G serial number AA52897 scoped and in really excellent condition. I've found a lot of sites saying their value is around $400-$500 but I came across US Lever-Action Rifles - Marlin that says it's more like $2,600! can anyone validate the real value of this gun? I have pictures if needed.
Thanks! Dave
$2600? No way. I checked that site out. God only knows where this guy is getting these numbers from. Go to Gun broker and look at completed auctions to see what they go for.
knomad 56 I clicked on the link and surprise surprise I didn't know that the 336 Cowboy was made in 375 H&H caliber. It must have the "long action" model.
That is a nice rifle and a nice range you have to use. How did your rifle perform for you at the range? If you have the chance please post the paper you cut with it. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Keep your powder dry and happy shooting.

venting issues
I just purchased a house that had some recent renos done to the bathrooms and I was experiencing some gurgling sounds in the bathtub overflow when flushing the toilet. I checked the trap and there was hardly any water in it so I pour some water in to the tub and the sound went away. I stared at the water in the tub trap and flushed the toilet about 5 times and it did not move. I also made some exploratory holes and did some research and here is what I found. There are 3 fixtures in the bathroom, the furthest upstream is the bathtub, next is the toilet and finally the vanity. All fixtures are draining into the same 3 inch main line under the floor. There is a 1 1/2" vent teeing off the 3 inch drain between the toilet and the sink. My research tells me that this is a circuit vent and that the vent should infact be a 2" vent and be located downstream from the last fixture which would put it between the tub and the toilet.
My question is how big an issue is this? Is there a concern for gases? would it suffice to tie an additional 1 1/2" vent to the existing 1 1/2" vent but put it in the proper location between the tub and toilet? I know this would not be code but I am trying to fix it with minimal damage to the finishes. To add the main stack/vent is about 6 ft away from the sink.
This might help and wont hurt but you could add a Pro Vent under the sink. Thats the easiest thing to get to at this time and it might help and youre right, there should be two 2" vents. One at each end that tie in together at some point at of sight.

insulation smell in my house
i'm hoping someone can help. recently installed some roxul insulation in the rec room and applied a vapor barrier and drywall. since the installation, there is a persistent insulation/musty smell throughout the upstairs. no idea why it has not gone away...
i have forced air heating...thinking it's coming through the ducts? i don't know? any clues to help me? i'm at a loss after weeks now
thank you :)
Chinese drywall?
when you did this work did you create a lost of dust that may have settled in the ductwork?
the first thing i did was clean the ducts and disinfect after the work...the smell just seems to still emit...
I took a whiff of Roxul this morning and smelled nothing. Don't think it's that.
the drywall is a mold resistant variety...thanks to all for helping and comments :)

If there's one thing we all use online, it's a search engine. But what if we could do more for the world when we next have to search for František Čelakovský? This is what Hoongle.org seeks to do.
Hoongle is a cross between "Hunger" and Google" (but of course) and is a custom Google search engine that will donate 20 grains of rice per search generated to schools in the developing world.
The system works by donating the revenue of a fraction of a penny that is generated by each search. This doesn't sound like much of an income, but it is enough to pay for 20 grains of rice. A small portion of the proceeds also goes toward server maintenance charges.
But does it really work? Well, the site has been up since September last year, and so far has donated more than 8.5 million grains of rice, which is 4,000 meals.
Hoongle.orgis the concept of three Undergrad Students from Richmond University in the US: Vladimir Hruda, David Whitehead and Salmaan Ayaz. The site has proved to be so popular that the team have considered creating versions in different languages and also producing an app for the iPhone.
The site itself is very user friendly with a familiar sense of uncluttered space that you get from Google. There are similar links at the top of the page, that allow you to easily access GMail, Google Images and other Google services. There are even links to Facebook and MySpace, showing that the developers have really thought about making this site user-friendly as well as beneficial to those more in need.
Hoongle's strategy is similar to that of FreeRice.com, a nonprofit collaboration between the United Nations World Food Program and the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University.
However, the beauty of Hoongle.org is that you don't need to do anything you wouldn't already do. Visitors to FreeRice.com have to play a vocabulary game, where for each correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated to developing countries via the United Nations' World Food Program. So far about 63 billion grains of rice have been donated.
Hoongle is obviously much easier to fit into your day to day life and would be easier still if set as your home page. So don't Google things anymore, Hoongle them.

Kansas City radio station WHB 810 is reporting that Red Sox on again, off again starting center fielder (My) Coco Crisp has been traded to the Royals for reliever Ramon Ramirez.
Crisp enjoyed a bounce back year in a Sox uni, hitting .283 with seven homers, 41 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in split time with Jacoby Ellsbury. There was definitely a log jam in center field as Mark Kotsay also could play the position.
Who is Ramon Ramirez? In 71.2 innings his ERA was 2.64 and he struck out 70 hitters during the 2008 season. Scouting reports say he has a low 90s fastball. Boston.com hypothesizes the move could signal Justin Masterson's permanent move to the starting rotation. More as this develops…
My Take: Seems like a decent move. Ellsbury is the future in center field, the bullpen behind Papelbon was shaky at best and Masterson looks like he could be a quality starter. My Coco may be gone forever…
Tags: Coco Crisp, Kansas City Royals, Ramon Ramirez, Red Sox
I'm gonna miss Coco, but he's good enough to start on a good number of teams, especially the Royals. If we can hold onto Mark Kotsay, I'd be satisfied with an OF of Jason Bay, Jacoby Ellsbury, and J.D. Drew

London - Australia great Shane Warne has said the "ego" of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) forced Kevin Pietersen's retirement from all limited overs internationals.
Pietersen wanted to give up 50-over one-day internationals (ODIs) while still playing Twenty20 internationals.
However, the ECB said the South Africa-born shotmaker, who remains a Test cricketer, could only play in both shortened formats or none at all.
As a result Pietersen, the man of the tournament when England won the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean two years ago, is set to miss the defence of their title in Sri Lanka this September.
He will also be absent from the upcoming one-day series against Australia and Warne, who captained Pietersen at county side Hampshire, said England had damaged themselves.
"Any team that hasn't got Kevin Pietersen is significantly weaker," Warne told the Independent. "He's a match-winner so that's a big loss.
"It staggers me and I'm very surprised that the ECB didn't try and negotiate that better, drop their egos and say, okay we understand this, we want to keep our best players playing all the time."
He added: "I think it's just a bit too much ego for my liking from the ECB.
"Who wouldn't want Kevin Pietersen in your side? He's a match-winner and he puts bums on seats because people love watching him play.
"He rubs off on the rest of the players. So to me it's a huge loss.
"People might give up more one-day cricket or they might give up Twenty20," added the legendary leg-spinner, who contrasted Pietersen's situation with that of Michael Clarke, the Australia captain.
"Michael Clarke's given up Twenty20 in Australia because he can't play all three forms at that level, but you can't imagine Australia dropping him and saying don't worry about one-day cricket, just stick to Tests."
England play Australia in the first of five one-day internationals at Lord's on Friday.
Without Pietersen, an opener in limited overs cricket, England saw his spot filled by Ian Bell, who made a hundred and a fifty, and Alex Hales, who struck 99, in ODI and Twenty20 wins respectively over the West Indies this month.

It may or may not have something to do with the wording of the laws in your sate and not just an arbitrary thing.
Technically speaking,
Permit means: A license or warrant to do something not forbidden bylaw
License: permits you to do something that would otherwise be illegal, The permission granted by competent authority to exercise a certain privilege that, without such authorization, would constitute an illegal act

The Rock interested in a role for Star Wars, episode 7
from adelaidenow.com.au:
ACTION hero Dwayne Johnson has a message for new Star Wars director J.J. Abrams: "I'm ready for Star Wars. Bring it on, J.J."
In Sydney for the Australian premiere of his movie G.I. Joe: Retaliation last night, Johnson, 40, said the new shoot-'em-up adventure fulfilled only one of his boyhood dreams.
"I played with two lines of action figures when I was a kid: G.I. Joe and Star Wars.
"By the way, because we didn't have a lot of money, I used to steal them. I'd just rip open the packages and shove 'em in my pockets … like a lot of kids. I got caught a couple of times, got my ass kicked by my parents.

Parent empowerment has become a hot topic in this year's mayoral campaign, with both Democrat Bill de Blasio and Republican Joe Lhota promising parents they would have a bigger say in decisions surrounding the public schools. Specific plans? Not so much.
After Mayor Michael Bloomberg persuaded Albany to give him control over the city schools in 2002, he hired parent coordinators for each public school. Later, he opened a Parent Academy for parents to learn the best ways of helping their children academically. The Department of Education has also held numerous outreach sessions geared to different communities.
On the flip side, the 32 community schools boards, which used to play a role in hiring principals and superintendents, were replaced with elected community education councils that have only advisory powers. That led parents to complain about being shut out of major decisions such as the siting of new schools and the closing of struggling ones, something that has touched nearly every school district in the system since more than 600 schools have opened and hundreds others have closed in the last decade.
De Blasio's website refers specifically to co-locations, the practice of placing more than one school in the same building:
"As Public Advocate, Bill de Blasio demanded significant reforms in the way the Department of Education implements co-locations. These changes include requiring more information on the way co-locations will impact programs for students with disabilities in the building, establishing additional venues for parents to relay their concerns, and creating a process in which the DOE responds to parents' concerns."
During a candidates' forum held by the teachers union last spring, de Blasio said parents should play a greater role. "I want community education councils that play a role like a community board does in land use -- a role on decisions about school closures and co-locations," he said.
When asked how much power the councils should have, de Blasio's campaign said that if elected mayor he would work with the CEC's to create district plans that identify struggling and under-utilized schools. It said these councils will have more access to their district superintendents but the they would not have veto power because that would require state approval.
Republican Joe Lhota has suggested he would also be more of a listener than the current occupant of City Hall. He has said "decisions need to emanate from the grassroots level on up."
With respect to the schools, Lhota said: "We are one city, but we need to make sure there are communities. And as part of that community, as well, is making sure parents are involved in the education process. Part of what is going on with mayoral control, which I am a huge supporter of, is that some parents believe that their input isn't there any more. I wanna make sure that their input is there."
When pressed for details, however, Lhota's campaign was silent. Nor is there much about education on his website.
True to form, New York City parents had a lot to say on Tuesday when several called into WNYC's Brian Lehrer show. They all said they want a greater role in school-based decisions during the next administration.
Rachel in Red Hook, who said she chairs her community education council in Brooklyn's District 15, said the Department of Education's website should be more user-friendly.
"If a parent is feeling anxious they can go on the website and get information clearly in a comprehensive way, it's very hard to even get maps on the Department of Education website," she said.
She also said the D.O.E. has worked too hard to promote charter schools, giving parents the impression that their regular local schools are inadequate.
Another caller, David from Howard Beach, referred to the parent empowerment movement of the 1960s. He said one solution that came out during that time was for principals to meet with their school communities at least once a month on issues of general concern.

THEY'RE opening up all over the world, swallowing valuable possessions as they go, and now not one but two sink holes have emerged near St Martins.
Glyn Morlas resident Sam Evans last week got in touch with the Advertizer to tell us about the anomalies by his home, which are up to 10 feet wide and three to four feet deep.
"They look like something off the moon," said Mr Evans, "I think it's probably down to the recent wet weather.
"We've got a lot of mining activity underground here, so I hope it's not a mine shaft."
He continued: "When local holes start opening up you do wonder what's going to come next."
Sink holes first hit the headlines earlier this month when one opened up in a residential part of High Wycombe and swallowed a car.
THAT SINKING FEELING: Right. Glyn Morlas resident Sam Evans examines one of the sink holes which have opened up in St Martins recently. TS
