BBC showbiz presenter dies
The BBC television presenter Christopher Price has been found dead at his London home.
Price, who was 34, was the regular frontman of showbiz bulletin Liquid News, shown nightly on digital channel BBC Choice and also on BBC One.
Price started his career as a journalist in BBC local radio, moving to Radio Five Live and News 24 before joining BBC Choice.
Police are investigating the cause but said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with his death.
Price was found collapsed at his home at 1645 BST on Monday.
He was confirmed dead at the scene less than two hours later.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said a post-mortem examination would be held. They are currently awaiting the result.
"As with all sudden deaths, police are investigating but I can confirm we are not looking for anyone else at this stage," he added.
Liquid News was being lined up to become one of the leading programmes on the proposed digital channel BBC Three, which would have seen Price's profile raised considerably.
Price hit the headlines early in 2001 when he signed a �280,000 two-year contract for presenting Liquid News.
The show takes an irreverent look at the day's events in the world of entertainment, with daily guests including celebrities, comedians, journalists and industry figures.
Last month he presented the UK's Song for Europe show with former Brookside actress Claire Sweeney.
'Great loss'
BBC media correspondent Nick Higham said Price described himself as an "unlikely overnight success".
"In his own words, he said he was fat, bald and homosexual but he was perfect for Liquid News," he said.
"He was witty, caustic and camp by turns, and the BBC was grooming him for great things.
"It is a great loss. He will be extraordinarily difficult to replace."
BBC entertainment correspondent Robert Nisbet, Price's former colleague, said he was devastated to hear the news of his death.
The pair first met in 1994 when Radio Five Live was launched.
He said: "I can hardly believe it. Not only was he a brilliant journalist and presenter, but he was my best friend. You couldn't ask for a better friend.
"I last spoke to him on Friday. I don't know what happened. The police are still investigating. I am lost for words.
"He was immensely talented, very sharp, very witty and made a very difficult programme look very easy indeed."
The Guardian's media correspondent Matt Wells said the presenter was a "rising star".
"He had a particular ability to speak to a younger generation of viewers in a way that was not patronising but funny, informative and witty - and with journalistic integrity.
"And he had that special X-factor great broadcasters have."
Stuart Murphy, the controller of BBC Choice, said Price was a unique broadcaster with enormous passion and extraordinary potential.
"His tragic death comes as a complete shock and will sadden everyone who knew him," he added.
"His acerbic wit and boundless cheek made him an absolute pleasure to watch, and an entertaining friend to many, both in front of and behind the camera. "
Lorraine Heggessey, controller of BBC One said she was "terribly sad".
"He clearly had a bright future ahead of him and in a short space of time had established himself as a strong individual voice," she said.
Roger Mosey, the head of BBC Television News, added that Price was "highly talented".
"We will miss his journalism as well as his wit, and he was a sparky and entertaining colleague as well as a much-loved presenter on screen," said Mosey.
Tuesday night's Liquid News on BBC Choice will be replaced by a tribute to the presenter, to be broadcast at 2000 BST.

Binary package (UNICODE)
Today is International Children's Day so I prepare a little gift for notepad++ community (at the end each of us is someone's child). I released second (and probably last) custom build of QuickText plugin.
Highlighted additional (to original plugin) features:
+ Working snippets (tags) auto-completion
+ Fixed Hot-spots
+ Configurable "allowed characters" in snippets (tags) names (allowedChars parameter in QuickText.conf.ini).
+ Full sources package
Full changelog:
v 0.2.2 mod v2 (2010-06-01)
+ Config file: QuickText.conf.ini with following options:
+ allowedChars - characters which are valid for tags (snippets names).
+ lang_menu - Languages (separated by ",") occurring in plugin "Options..." dialog
(GUI for editing snippets).
+ "Open Tags File" command in plugin menu
+ "Open Config File" command in plugin menu
+ Default shortcut combo (ctrl + shift + F5) for "Refresh Configuration" command
+ Sources package
* Tags auto-completion appears even without any character inserted. Only need to push shortcut key combo
(default ctrl + ENTER)
* Sources cleanup + some descriptive comments
* GLOBAL group now has number "255" irrespective of number of supported (by notepad++) languages and
"lang_menu" (in QuickText.conf.ini) values.
* Tags auto-completion with GLOBAL group, so on the list are now tags from current language group and GLOBAL GROUP.
* Newline translation in "Options..." dialog (was dependent on current file settings, which was incorrect).
CRLF has to be used in QuickText.ini file now, to translate newline correctly in "Options..." dialog.
- Many unused files from sources package.
- Support for ANSI version
v 0.2.2 mod v1 (2010-05-03)
+ "._-" to allowed characters for tag names (it should be configurable btw, but I didn't have a time for playing
with this)
+ "Refresh Configuration" command in plugin menu (it was commented out in sources), which reloads configuration
* default shortcut key to ctrl + enter (it can be changed to anything else besides tab)
* behavior of hotspots (it was broken), I don't know how to explain this changes – just test it
* tags auto-completion and change its behavior, so on the list are now only tags which begins with typed part
(originally on the list was tags which contains typed part in any place)
- Ability to use tab as shortcut key, because of many related with it bugs

The 30 AS is basically the economy model of the 336, and the only real difference is the wood -- birch vs. walnut. If the condition is as decribed (96%), the price is a decent one.
I am fairly new to this forum (posting a few messages on the 1894 site).
Anyway, Does anybody have a Marlin 30 AS? I have a chance to buy a used one (sight unseen), which is supposedly 96% condition for $200. I don't know when it was made or their reputation. Actually, I was thinking of buying it for my almost 15 year old to hunt deer this fall (vs buying him a new gun). Do you think $200 is a good price or should I hunt down a 336, instead?
ho are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?
The 30 AS is basically the economy model of the 336, and the only real difference is the wood -- birch vs. walnut. If the condition is as decribed (96%), the price is a decent one.
"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Micah 6:8
the 30AS is a 336 with an uncheckered hardwood stock with no grip cap or white line spacers, a simple bent sheetmetal rear sight in lieu of the more refined 336 rear and an unramped, unhooded front sight. It also has a forearm cap instead of a barrel band. A (pretty bad) pic of mine...
The swivel studs are aftermarket.
I have a model 30A, which is the predecessor to the model 30AS. Bought it in 1970 and for over 20 years it was the only gun I hunted with. If you are not looking for anything fancy, but just want a good shooter that works great this is a good buy.
About two years ago I bought a Marlin Model 30AS 30-30 with a Tasco 4x scope for $200.00 from a co-worker that needed cash. It will consistently shoot 1"-1 1/2" at 100 yards and under 2" at 150 yards with Winchester Power Points in 150 grain ammo. Rifle is in about 95% condition and I believe I got a bargin.
Never used it except at the range but will this fall as NYS finally approved the use of centerfire rifles in several counties that border PA.
This should be an excellent choice for a 15 years old or anyone else needing a deer rifle,
Can you tell me where yougot the after market swivel studs?

If they want to take my guns away, they'll have to pry them out of my cold dead hands!
$200 is a very good price in my opinion, a theft in my part of the country. It's a Marlin with cheaper clothes but a heart of gold. Get it. And welcome. DP

$200.00 is a very good price and you will see it when you pay for it. If it's not as advertised don't take the money out of your pocket. If you are exoected to pay for it and then get it later, run like a bunny the other direction.

Greying gringos are buying into a relaxed lifestyle in Mexico for a fraction of what they'd pay in the US, reports Caroline Overington in Baja.
For about 100 years, it was generally accepted that Americans moved to Mexico only if they were on the run, avoiding the draft, or addicted to drugs.
That attitude is changing. As The New York Times reported last month, slowly but surely, hectare by hectare, parts of Mexico have become like US colonies, where English is the main language, and the dollar is the local currency.
Huge tracts of land, especially along the Baja Peninsula south of San Diego, are now owned by Americans. Not directly, of course, since it remains ostensibly illegal for foreign citizens to buy land within 100 kilometres of the Mexican coast. Yet West Coast accents are everywhere.
"It's the new land rush," said Jim Hogg, 48, who is part of that rush. "It's no longer 'go west, young man'. It's 'go south, old man, and eat shellfish all day'."
What he means is that most of the new arrivals are retirees, who have found themselves active at 65, but not rich. Pensions in the US pay about $US800 ($A1100) a month, and you can't live in Florida or coastal California on so little money but you can live in Mexico. Or, as the Financial Times put it: "Baby boom, meet property boom."
The trend should not be overstated: the traffic between Mexico and its wealthy neighbour is still almost entirely one-way, with 500,000 people trying to cross the border every year (that's just the number the US catches).
But it can no longer be ignored. Some real estate agents, who clearly have a vested interest in this matter, say there may be as many as 1 million Americans living in Mexico, many of them in exclusive retirement villages on the Pacific Ocean coast, where two-bedroom units cost about $US150,000 (not bad, considering the daily wage in Mexico is around $US5).
Not everybody is retired, of course. Mr Hogg lives in a village of 350 houses in a mountain range more than 600 kilometres south of the border. In the US, he was an anthropologist. Now, he installs water systems for Mexican Indians. "I'd been coming to Mexico for around eight or nine years before I finally moved, after September 11, when I just got really uncomfortable with what my Government was doing," he said. "Of course people thought I was crazy. They say it's Third World. I say it's more Second World. On a par with Russia, maybe." Mr Hogg likes Mexico's "fewer rules".
"The US can be claustrophobic," he said. "Like when you drive a car, they can pull you over for a chip in the windscreen, or not wearing a seatbelt, or your tail-light is out.
"In Mexico, kids learn to drive at the age of 12, and the police are completely corrupt, and you can skate around most things. And people leave you alone. There's a benign neglect that I like."
In the village where Mr Hogg lives, homes cost around $US500 to build, although he lives in a massive house with thick stone walls and huge fireplaces, built by missionaries, and which came with staff. It cost around $US20,000 - a tenth of what a family home costs in his home state, Washington.
Others are doing even better. Talk to Nadine and Henry Laxen, although not between the hours of 2pm and 5pm - that's their siesta time.
The rest of the time, it's bridge, tennis, walking on the beach, or taking in a movie at a cinema where the popcorn costs 80 cents.
Mr Laxen, 50, met his wife, Nadine, also 50, at Club Med in Mexico in 1990. A year later, they bought a house in Mazatlan. He was already retired (at 33, actually, after making a small fortune in computers in the 1980s) and "when Nadine and I got married, I retired her, too". The couple spend about nine months of the year in Mexico, "but get out in the summer, when it's 100 degrees and 100 per cent humidity, horrible".
Mr Laxen said friends always ask him about "bandits, the peso, and the quality of the water". He tells them to use US banks, water filters, and commonsense. "But if they come up with a business idea, I pour cold water on it," he said. "Working here is just awful. The system is very corrupt. Do you know what the difference is? It's the Magna Carta. The English have an 800-year tradition of equality and democracy, and the Spanish have a system of patronage, and that breeds corruption. So it's better to come if you just want to retire."
Mr Laxen has detected little debate about whether more Americans are welcome, or whether they are changing the local culture. "Americans are well treated because they spend money," he said. "And Americans don't come to Mexico to look for jobs, so there's no problem. I haven't heard anybody saying it's a takeover of Mexico."
Americans are getting around the rules on property ownership because the Mexican Government changed its laws in 1997 to allow foreigners to buy land through Mexican trust funds held at Mexican banks.

Getting Started/The Application Process >
Admissions Policies & Requirements
Graduate courses taken at other institutions before admission to Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus may, if pertinent to the plan of study, be credited to the graduate degree. Permission to transfer such credits must be requested at the time of admission, and official transcripts must be submitted to the Graduate Admissions Office. Transfer credit toward the master's degree is normally limited to six semester hours of credit for courses in which the student has received a grade of B or better and is not recorded as part of the grade point average. Courses with a grade of B- or less are not transferable.
Students seeking a second master's degree may be granted up to 12 credits, when academically appropriate, at the recommendation of the department chair and with the approval of the graduate dean. Students entering the school psychology program may be granted up to 18 credits. Transfer credits will be granted only for courses taken within the time limits specified.
All students admitted to the master's programs will be classified as matriculants or non-degree students.
Matriculated students must:
A student will be classified as a matriculant when accepted into a degree program. Students admitted with technical or academic deficiencies (e.g., incomplete official transcripts) will be classified as limited matriculants, pending resolution of those conditions. Technical deficiencies must be resolved before the end of the first semester of enrollment. Academic deficiencies must be satisfied before the completion of the 12 credits required by the degree program or within one year. Students are in good academic standing as long as they are permitted to continue in attendance in matriculant status.
Non-degree students must meet the same admission standards as those admitted to degree programs. A student in this category may take a limited number of courses for certification, professional advancement or personal enrichment, but he or she is not classified as a graduate degree-seeking student. Admission as a non-degree student is for one semester only and permits registration for a maximum of six credits.
If a non-degree student wishes to matriculate, a graduate application must be filed with the Office of Admissions. Upon review of the student's application and supporting credentials, the appropriate department will decide if all requirements for matriculation have been met. Courses completed by non-degree students – if pertinent to the degree program in which the student has matriculated and if completed within the time limit – are credited toward the degree.
Applicants to the Master of Business (M.B.A.) in the School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences, must submit scores from the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).
Applicants for the Master's in Public Health, the Master's in Psychology, the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, the Doctor of Physical Therapy and all graduate Pharmacy programs must submit GRE scores from the General Aptitude Test. Additionally, individuals who apply for the Master's in Psychology and the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology must submit GRE scores from the GRE Subject Test in psychology.
Graduate applications are welcome from international students who hold the equivalent of a four-year bachelor's degree. Please visit the For International Students section of the Web site for a comprehensive overview of requirements for enrollment.
Seniors who need substantially less than a full program to meet the requirements for the bachelor's degree may take, concurrently with their undergraduate program, a limited number of 500- and 600-level graduate courses and reserve the credits for a master's degree. Such a special arrangement will be limited to undergraduate students who have been formally admitted as graduate students, pending satisfactory completion of bachelor's degree requirements. Applicants must have permission from the graduate program as well as authorization from the undergraduate institution.
Qualified juniors and seniors attending Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus may, with the approval of the chair of the department concerned and the graduate dean, take courses on the 500-level for undergraduate credit to complete the requirements for the bachelor's degree. The credits they receive may not subsequently be applied toward the credit requirements for the master's degree.
Undergraduate student enrollment in 600-level courses will not be approved by the graduate dean unless there is exceptional justification given by the department chair.
Graduate students who are degree candidates in good standing at other universities may be granted permission to attend courses at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus upon filing a visiting student application for the courses and submitting a letter of authorization from the graduate school that they are attending. The application for visiting students can be found in the Forms & Documents section of the Web site. Courses in the Ph.D. programs and field experience courses need additional departmental approval.
An applicant who has not completed adequate preparation for a particular graduate program, but who presents an otherwise acceptable undergraduate record, may be given an opportunity to resolve specific course deficiencies. A post-baccalaureate student enrolls in a program of advanced undergraduate courses in the field selected for graduate study. The appropriate department approves the number of credits necessary, the level of achievement required and the specific courses to be completed. Upon compliance with those conditions, the post-baccalaureate student becomes eligible for admission to the graduate school.
Matriculated adult students who have demonstrated professional achievement, practical experience and general intellectual growth that compare favorably with formal graduate education may be granted a special assessment. The following rules and procedures apply to such special assessment of credits:
The following fee schedule will apply to such assessment:
Evaluation fee (1 to 3 credits), $175.00 per creditEvaluation fee (additional credits above 3), $85.00 per credit
Students in need of additional support may investigate the services offered through the Special Educational Services, Achievement Studies and Renaissance Services for Disabled or Academically At-Risk Students. This area provides students with coordinated services that address individual needs related to disabilities or to academically at-risk factors that would otherwise not afford these students the educational and future career opportunities available to them through a degree of higher education.
Students do need to apply for additional services and/or admission to the Achievement Studies program. To learn more about services available, please call: 718-488-1044 or contact the Office of Admissions at firstname.lastname@example.com
Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus welcomes applications from veterans and encourages them to take full advantage of their G.I. Bill benefits. Candidates are required to submit a copy of Form DD214, Report of Separation, to the Office of Admissions. A veterans counselor is available to assist in admissions and funding procedures. For further information, contact the Veterans Affairs Office. Learn more about the Campus' participation in The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program by visiting the Special Opportunities section of the Web site.
In order to gain necessary background or enhance general knowledge, students may audit graduate courses for no credit. The permission of the instructor and of the dean is required in every case. Laboratory courses and fieldwork practicums may not be audited. Students (who must have been admitted to a graduate program) pay half the regular tuition for courses, and their transcripts will show that the courses have been audited.
Admission to graduate classes does not imply that the student has been accepted as a candidate for a degree. Acceptance for degree candidacy is contingent upon the student's obtaining matriculated status and satisfying all of the admissions requirements of the graduate program that they are pursuing.
To be eligible for registration, every graduate student must confer with a representative in their proposed major department. The adviser assists the student in preparing a program of study and signs the student's registration card if required.
Payment of all tuition and fees is required in advance of the beginning of classes, unless special arrangements are made with the Bursar. Students who have not been cleared by the Bursar cannot be considered registered.

How to Make a Super Scary Short Film
The Challenge: create a scary movie on the theme of "young genius," no longer than 30 seconds. The filmmaker Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream) will judge the submissions.
The Submissions: live action, animation, and horror that truly defies categorization. Watch all the entries here.
→ Enter Studio 360's Scary Short Film Festival
The deadline to be considered for our contest is March 2, 2014 at 11:59pm ET.
Some FAQs:
• Can I submit several, serial 30-second films?
No. The entire film must be 30 seconds or less. But feel free to submit as many films as you'd like.
• Are credits included in the 30-second time limit?
No, but extra kudos if you can squeeze them in.
• "Young genius" is the theme — what does that mean?
It's up to you — our theme is deliberately vague. "Young genius" could be a character (as in Kurt's movie), a plot point, a motif, or something else altogether. Your call — but it must be in there.
• Does judge Wes Craven have any advice?
Here's the advice he got his maiden voyage: "Just drag all the skeletons out of your closet."
Listen to his full conversation with Kurt.

Thought For Today: Forgiveness Brings Me Closer To Others
Expand Messages
- Forgiveness Brings Me Closer To Others
Why is it hard to forgive others? Usually because we believe that they are 90% to blame for the problem, that I am not as bad as they are. So I start to carry the load of other people's actions. If my ego is too hurt, I will have the sense of correction, of justice: 'I know I am right', 'That is not fair'. But if I start to forgive from the heart, sincerely, then this kind of feeling and attitude begins to dissolve. I remain humble and this forgiveness will bring me closer to others. Then I do not carry regrets or anger, I just let go and remain light.Having trouble viewing this email? View in your web browser'May we live in peace without weeping.

US-CERT Warns of AutoRun Flaw in Windows
US-CERT's National Cyber Alert System is warning that Microsoft Windows' AutoRun feature is affected with security vulnerabilities. AutoRun is the functionality that enables programs to run automatically when portable devices are inserted into the system.
Security researchers said that it is not difficult to find how AutoRun might lead to exploitations. Numerous malware try to propagate themselves by designing AutoRun files for various drives, particularly USB drives. They (malware) run automatically when the USB stick is plugged into another system.
However, Windows operating system includes utilities to disable AutoRun that effectively helps in blocking the spread of malware. But, according to US-CERT, Microsoft's g...

HVAC - Airflow Issue
5 Attachment(s)
We recently moved to a new house built into a 2 story built in 1978. It was recently remodeled including new windows and a roof. It is approximately 3200 sq feet not counting the unfinished basement which we plan to finish in the future.
We installed a 5 Ton heat pump with 20kw backup heat tape along with a 5 Ton 2000cfm air handler (comfortmaker).
I was rushed to do the install sooner than I planned as the old system couldn't get the house cooler than 76 (running 24/7) and we had a newborn.
I did the installation of the A/H and ran the copper and set the HP and had a professional come in and braze the lines and charge the system. The system worked extremely well in cooling mode.
Now that winter is here, I need to fine tune the supply and return ducting as I feel the system is not performing at its peak.
I had a 2nd HVAC guy come out and check the sizing of the ducting and the line pressures, he stated it was all ok. I don't believe either of them.
I am prepared to call a third guy, but decided to check here first and see if my thinking is right or wrong.
The size of the return duct from the ceiling to the unit is 10x24. (1320 CFM)
The size of the return duct running 2/3 the length of the house (30') is 8x24. (930 CFM)
The size of the supply duct running 3/4 the length of the house (40') is 8x24. (930 CFM)
The max filter size is 20x16". Way too small.
I believe I need to increase the drop down from the return to a 30"x12" and build a shorter but wider return box for the A/H so that I can get at least a 20x25 filter in there.
Attached are several photos. The first two are the old system, the last ones are the new system.
I used this document for duct sizing CFM ratings.
There are 26 6" round take-offs from the main supply trunk line. The A/H sits almost in the center of the supply feed, but near the end of the return. I am open to taking the main trunks down and putting larger up....perhaps 24x10 for the supply (since it only needs to push 1000 CFM in each direction) and 26x10 for return, since the system sits at one end of the return duct.
Each room has a return in it, most rooms have two supply (except for bathrooms). All returns upstairs are up high on the wall, all supply are in the floors (1st and 2nd floor).
The reason I think I have an air-flow problem is that the highest CFM I have seen with a detector in the return is 1300 CFM. Changing the blower speed from med to high doesnt impact that number much at all. Cutting an additional hole in the return box in the basement did increase airflow a little.
26 x 10 is not nearly big enough for a 5 ton system.
Your return trunk is too small, and your return drop is too small(increasing to 30 x 12 will help).
But, if you don't increase the return trunk, you won't get much benefit from it.
You'll probably need to add more return to the house, and then increase the size of the return trunk and drop.
Do both supply trunks supply the same amount of air. Not just the same number of supplies tapped into them.
With you air handler dead heading into the supply the way it does. It creates a high resistance to air flow.
Might want to make the return box only 12" high, and bring 2 drops into it, to get better air flow.
That has got to be the least well planned out install i have ever seen.
Beenthere has stated the reason why with the exception you are probably over sized on the HP also.
Kinda ironic.
I also figure one can't go too big on the trunks either.
So my thought was to upgrade both the supply and return trunk to 10x24 (1320 CFM each direction), make the return box much smaller so that there is more room above the top as you suggested and have the two return drop-downs made to incorporate larger filters. Making the return vents in the walls bigger, isnt a problem for the 1st floor, the 2nd floor I have the option to add a central return vent by utilizing the space that the exhaust pipe for the old furnace was in.

The house is a mansared style house, so the upstairs is subject to heat through the rafters due to the roof design (see photo)
It also bothers me that no less than *TWO* separate HVAC "professionals" have come out and all said, nah the duct sizing is fine, just reduce the blower speed to low if anything....well I can't run the blower on low with 20kw heat strips according to the manufacture.
I am curious why you think the 5 ton system is oversized. The current sq ft of conditioned space is 3,586. When we finish the basement, that will jump to between 4500 - 5000 (depending how much we finish)
Don't get fixed on a 1320 CFM split.
How many CFMs does each side need to carry.
Because I have the same design temps where I live and the basement is not considered a full load as it is below grade and subject to little to no heat gain.
Thank you.
A 6" supply to a bathroom, doesn't actually have teh same amount of air going through it as a 6" to a kitchen(at least it shouldn't).
You chould make a drawing and also determine how much air each room really needs.
Not unusual for one side of a house to need 20% more air then the other side.
Thanks. I'll be creating a new drawing tonight as apparently my other one is gone from the cleaning we did before having family over for the holidays.
There are no dampers on any of the ducts in the basement.
Is it worth paying a local guy to do a Load J? calculation or utilize an online service to do it?
You can do your own.
I had seen that one before and was curious if it was reputable. Thanks for the recommendation. I have purchased it and will proceed with it and report back here what the results are.

I completed the Manual J calculation this morning. I did it twice to make sure I did it right. I did have to make some guesstimates as to what type of insulation board is behind the brick.
Attached is the completed report.
In summary:
Total Heat Gain: 37,917 BTUH
Total Heat Loss: 61,166 BTUH
Sensible Gain: 34.694.
So while the system (5 ton) is plenty large for A/C, I think it is sized ok for heating, which is my main area of concern.
I could easily add the garage or the workshop portion of the garage into the A/C factors for summer if I needed to get longer runtimes to remove more humidity.
I'll be working on the sketch of the existing ductwork this evening...time to head out and work on the barn.
At least at first glance, it looks ok.
5000 sq ft.
Do you actually set your stat to 68 in the summer.
Its a code violation to have the garage on the same forsed or gravity air system that serves an occupied area.
CO poisoning potential.

I saw solutions based on cloth simulation, but IMO they are good only for relatively simple deformations (and definitely not moving ones, as cloth simulators take in account air resistance too). So, how do one simulate bending, twisted and deforming metal objects in Max?
Like in case of, for example, two cars hitting each other on high speed in slow-motion, like in that scene with trucks in Matrix. Pieces should not simply deform, but stay bended before new force is applied, get thrown by physics and so on.

By Alexander Schreyer I find that a lot of the pressure-treated 4x4s and 6x6s I use twist badly after installation as they dry. It's not a structural problem, but it looks terrible. Is there any way to recognize pieces that are likely to twist so they can be culled before the problem comes up?A.Alexander Schreyer, a structural engineer and lecturer in wood technology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, responds: The twist you're seeing has two main causes.

Five San Antonio hits led to four runs in the bottom of the third inning.
Jose Lobaton and Jon Schemmel opened up the frame with singles to left field. Drew Macias followed with a 1-0 triple into the right-centerfield gap on a fastball to drive both runs home.
"Trying to cut through the wind is tough in this park," said Macias. "I feel like I am playing a park that is 600 feet. They are playing in it too so it goes both ways."
Brett Dowdy took a 3-2 fastball and lined one just right of center to score Macias, staking the Missions to a 3-0 lead. Dowdy went on to steal second base. A 2-2 double off the bat of Chad Huffman pushed Dowdy across the plate.
Josh Alley took a 3-2 pitch and drove it into the left-center gap to score Kyle Blanks – who was running with the pitch, putting the Missions up by a nickel.
After a Matt Buschmann walk in the fifth, Craig Cooper misplayed an Adam Greenberg fly ball down the line to put runners in the corners with one out.
After Cooper misplayed the ball in right, he fired the ball to third base to try and catch the runner advancing. It was a close call and the umpire ruled the runner safe. Manager Bill Masse came out to argue the call, as third baseman Seth Johnston and Buschmann were incensed by the call.
"He was out," said Masse. "(The umpire) was professional about it. I think he knew he was out."
After that play, a single to left brought home the first Arkansas run. A balk put both men in scoring position and a sacrifice fly brought home the second run.
Buschmann lasted six innings, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk while fanning five.
"Buschmann has been pitching well," Macias said. "He has been keeping us in the game."
"I need to be an efficient pitcher that pitches down in the zone," said Buschmann. "The last couple of outings I have done a much better job and am not picking at the zone."

you could try the Apple iTune's forums here;
You would have to register, but it looks like it is painless.
A while ago, I started getting a runtime error message when I'd open iTunes.
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way."
The odd thing is sometimes it doesn't happen. Or, if it does, I found by opening the application a few times I'd be able to get back into iTunes without the error message popping up.
I have been trying to find information about this problem on CNET but was unable to locate a post that involved the iTunes application specifically.
I am running Windows XP with service pack 2 which is up to date.
Additionally, I have Norton System Works which scans the hard drive once a week and cleans up files.
Is there a simple and painless way I solve this problem?
Can anyone help?

Some thoughts on the letter advising that Christians could believe in evolution:
Evolution is a theory or belief system. It has not been proven, with the exception of micro-evolution, which is the development, for instance, of different species within kinds, and which is not discounted by any scientists.
There have been found no transitional forms of any creature that would show evidence of one kind of life form evolving into another kind, as invertebrates to vertebrates, fish to amphibians, reptiles to mammals or apes to man.
Evolution, if it were true, would require millions or billions of years, with the death of endless numbers of life forms, permitting "survival of the fittest," the claim upon which the theory is based. The Bible clearly states that death is the result of man's sin -- " by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned " Romans 5:12. And in Romans 8:19-23 it states that all creation suffers this sentence of death, and awaits "the redemption of our body".
That is the Christians' hope -- ". For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive," and, "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." I Corinthians 15:22 and 26. So, in evolutionary system, death of countless life forms would have been taking place before God would have created man, and thus death is a good thing, not the consequence of sin!
The official premise upon which our educational system is based is that evolution is a scientific fact. Since only the Creator God was in the beginning to know exactly how the world was formed, and the Bible has never contradicted the true and proven facts, does it not sound reasonable to present either both belief systems, or neither? Students can study science that is factual and be free to conclude for themselves, which belief of origins they will accept.
I recommend the Institute for Creation Research materials (www.icr.org) for actual scientific discoveries and continuing research, which will reinforce one's understanding of true science.

Please, correct the, "Soooooo many grammar mistakes". I cannot wait to see what you have to say. I admit, I do see that I may have missed one comma. Nonetheless, you cannot refute my comments about your posts. This is silly "tit for tat" argumentation. The issues stated in the letter should be the content of this thread. But, once you resorted to snarky junior high name-calling (" i.e. the opposite of every liberal poster on this website."), I allowed myself to be distracted. My bad.

Soooooo many grammar mistakes in that last post I can't even begin to name them. How totally embarrasing for you? It's the kettle calling the pot black after pot called the kettle black. Oh, the irony!
First, and foremost, you have no idea what my political leanings are. I dare say, you would not understand my perspective on many issues.
Secondly, if you are going to take people to task for their grammar, punctuation, or spelling, you need to be more careful. You need to understand the proper the use of the hyphen. You also need to make sure to use complete sentences in your discussions.
One of your previous posts states-
"There is no such thing as well written discussion on these opinion letter online posts."
You need a hyphen in "well-written" since it acts as an adjective. (The grammar rule - If the compound adjective ("well written") precedes a noun, use a hyphen.)
Secondly, "Especially when it comes to Buzz." is not a complete sentence. It is a fragment.
As far as content is concerned, I am willing to listen to someone present any argument as long as it is presented respectfully. Even if I do not agree with his/her basic premise (which will negate the logic for me), I will still consider the post to be well written (grammar rule - when the elements--"well" and "written"-- come after a noun, don't use the hyphen) or to contain a well-written argument. I will simply disagree with the content and/or conclusion.
In conclusion, although your mistakes are not grievous (in fact, extremely minor for this venue), you should be careful before invoking "the pot calling the kettle black".
If you have even a shred of a fact for your mythological god I will gladly re-examine my position.
Well written actually means using intelligible grammar, puncuation, and actually using facts and reasoning to back up your arguments. i.e. the opposite of every liberal poster on this website.
Because "well written" is code for 'I want an unchallenged belief in magic'.
There is no such thing as well written discussion on these opinion letter online posts. Especially when it comes to Buzz.
Mr Thinkagain, You are of course correct. Please accept my humblist of apologies and have a blessed day.
Wow! eino, You proved my point. Some posters cannot rise above crude name-calling. So be it. I will not engage in any more banter with you. But just to make one point clear before I leave you - I am not a hater in any sense. There is nothing and no one I hate. Can you say the same? ***Please note mine is a very Christian stance.
wisdomjacket, Although I may not agree with you, you posed a well-written discussion. I appreciate that sort of discussion on this site. One caveat - your discussion was, for the most part, respectful - until that snarky bit at the end.
Creationism is not a theory. It is a fairy tale filled with magic.
Your faith isn't under attack. You just have stupid beliefs.
Mr Thinkagain, are you aware of the story of the mouse & the farmers wife who buys a mousetrap? Long story short an event (the purchase of the mousetrap) was seen by all the other barnyard animals as inconsequential to them, until it turns out, it wasnt. The primacy of Christ is explored in the gospel writings by men who were purported to be firsthand witnesses save for Paul. Other historical writings outside the gospels mention the existance of Christ, His followers and their exploits. Mohammed was a witness unto himself. Budda died enlightened but cured no one of anything aside from worldly greed and his followers are dependent on the world for their own survival. Hinduisms gods are great for many different things unless of course you are of the lowest class and then the view never changes. Christians see their faith under attack from the secular/humanists like the mouse saw his life under attack from the mousetrap. Since we agree that both creationism and evolution are theories why not leave it at that, you can work all the Sundays you want, I will seek employment that permits me Sundays off. As for a thought provoking insightful letter to the editor on a subject of great importance to the public, if you start now you could probably make publishing by weeksend much to everyones delight.

If you don't believe in God ... then why do you hate him so much ... why ... ??? ...
You don't believe in Santa Claus ... but do you get all strung out over the month-long Christmas season ... no ... you don't ...
God bothers you because you know that He is real and you don't know to "fit" Him into your life ... but
The answer is simple ... read the Bible ... ask for help ... go to Church ...
Quit whining and moaning about these letters to the editor ... letters that feature the LORD of the Universe ...
God Himself
"Evolution is a theory or belief system". Then what is religion? My understanding is that religion is based on the blind faith of like-minded individuals - believers who believe - people who are willing to accept ideas simply because they believe in those ideas. There is no fact-based religion. Religion is a belief system - no less, no more.
Go to http://www.venganza.org/about/. Learn about Pastafarianism. It makes as much sense as any other religion and is based on just as much fact. It is a group of people who believe in the same tenets. They view their deity as any other religious person views his/hers.
Now could all of you and the DR get off the religious letters-to-the editor kick? It has become mind-numbingly boring. The humor of the snarky sparring and ignorant, baiting statements has worn off. There are important issues requiring thoughtful analytical discussion. If any of you are able to have critical debate without insulting those who disagree with you, please, please jump in. Write letters of import and discuss them like adults with respectful exchanges of ideas (even when we do not agree). Can we attempt to have some true debate of ideas and issues, instead of repetitive name- calling on these worn out topics? We critical thinkers are drowning out here.

one thing is for sure...creationism would sure sure free up some classroom time....

The problem here is that when science and religion butt heads on certain issues, it's easier for some people to reject science than to re-evaluate their belief system. And that's sad.
The Theory of Evolution is a "belief system" ... and your lack of understanding that simple fact is beyond sad ... it is life threatening ...
If I ever found a teacher in a Wayne County classroom offering creationism as a scientific alternative I'll personally slap him or her in the back of the head.
Intimidation ... call the cops
No school has ever said that evolution is scientific fact. It's theory. A well founded theory. Sort of like the theory of gravity. This creationist theory, however, that the world is 6,000 years old and that dinosaurs roamed around with the Egyptians and ancient Greeks is complete psychobabble.
If I ever found a teacher in a Wayne County classroom offering creationism as a scientific alternative I'll personally slap him or her in the back of the head.
The problem here is that when science and religion butt heads on certain issues, it's easier for some people to reject science than to re-evaluate their belief system. And that's sad.
Personally, the prospect of a God who billions of years ago put this evolutionary life cycle into play so that eventually you and I would come about - essentially formed from star dust - is much more intriguing than this naive thought that Adam and Eve were just plunked into the Garden of Eden a few thousand years ago.
Why do ignorant Christians believe in magic?
Judging your posts buzz, you talking about mass ignorance is the pot calling the kettle black.
It's concerning so many willfully ignorant Christian write in as pro-magic. Religion is a mind virus that needs eradicated to kill off this mass ignorance.
There have been found no transitional forms of any creature that would show evidence of one kind of life form evolving into another kind, as invertebrates to vertebrates, fish to amphibians, reptiles to mammals or apes to man.

Evolution versus Creation is a no-brainer ... Creation wins every time it's put in the dock and examined.

Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. I do not think I would.

I guess it wouldnt be very smart of them to exclude the possibility of Cavill being Superman in JL, so yeah, it'll probably make sense somewhere.
Like you I just want a great MOS-movie first and foremost, only I'd really dig an ultrarealistic spin on it for a change.
I'm tired...
I think a year ago when we didn't know much about MOS, i'd probably have agreed with you. But with all the talk of the Fortress ship, Black Zone prison ship, Zod fighting in some kind of mo-cap outfit, a possible army of kryptonian robots... I guess I just think that this whole 'realistic' thing has been misconstrued.
It'll be realistic in terms of the way people react, the emotion and personality of the characters etc... but the actual content of the storyline and background in the film seems to be very fantasy based.
But yeah, talking about it makes me tired too
That's why I don't tend to go into the JL discussion threads.
Just accept that this is the direction they have taken.
Then, you can either decide this version isn't for you and stop watching.
you can decide to enjoy it for what it is - an elseworlds tale.
'In Elseworlds, super-heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places - some that have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.'

Located in a residential area at 15 mn driving from Sitges and very well connected with the motorway is this family house that has been fully reformed in 2016. The house is constructed in three levels. The parking space for three cars has also a small area that can be used as an office, utility room or multipurpose space. The first floor comprises the entrance hall, living and dining room with fire place and exit to a very nice porch overlooking the garden and swimming pool, kitchen office also with acess to the garden area, two double bedrooms and shower room. The second floor has a double bedroom, bathroom and the main bedroom with dressing room.
Sitges has always been a place that has enchanted artists, tourists and visitors from all over. For many people, the secret lies in its light and its almost 300 sunny days a year. The Nature has been generous to Sitges, as it has the privilege of being located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and protected by the Garraf Park Mountains. Culturally, the legacy is extraordinary. Art is alive and traditions are maintained with modernity. Sitges has preserved important medieval references and the quaintness of the old village of farmers and fishermen. It has a cosmopolitan character thanks to the diversity of its population, where more than 70 different nationalities live together, which is certified with the existence of four international nearby schools. Now, in the twenty-first century, Sitges is based on creativity, talent and innovation, but without losing its roots. Sitges is a city that attracts and seduces.

'Amazing Spider-Man' 4-Minute Super Preview [Video]
I don't know if I would say it's "this summer's most anticipated film", but it's definitely on my must-see list. I think The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers are/were the most anticipated films of the summer. Nonetheless, The Amazing Spider-Man does look pretty…amazing.
This new spidey-tale will be in theaters on July 3rd…and it's a completely new approach to the spidey-series. No Sam Raimi, no Tobey Maguire, no Kirsten Dunst, no James Franco. They're going back to the beginning for this one…back to high school. And back to the fact that Peter Parker has to make his own web concoction and shooter. Mary Jane Watson is replaced by Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) as Spidey's love interest…and Dr. Curt Conners/The Lizard (Rhys Ifans) takes center stage as the big green baddie.
Here we are treated to a special 4-minute long "super preview". Enjoy!

Sinkhole that proved popular at Corvette Museum will be filled
By Kevin Murphy
(Reuters) - A sinkhole that swallowed eight cars inside the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky will be filled even though it has become a tourist attraction that sharply increased attendance and revenue, the museum's board decided on Saturday.
The board had voted in June to attempt to keep part of the hole open, but the cost of retaining walls and other construction would exceed $1 million, officials at the museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, said in a statement.
"We really wanted to preserve a portion of the hole so that guests for years to come could see a little bit of what it was like," museum executive director Wendell Strode said in the statement. "But after receiving more detailed pricing, the cost outweighs the benefit."
The sinkhole, 40 feet (12 meters) wide and 60 feet (18 meters) deep, opened in February because of underground caves, geologists said. The hole, which absorbed part of the museum building, drew curiosity seekers. Attendance over the next four months rose 59 percent from the same period in 2013, officials said.
The eight cars that dropped into the hole ranged in model years from 1962 to 2009. Three will be restored - the 2009 Corvette ZR1 prototype know as the Blue Devil, a 1962 Corvette and a 1992 convertible that was the millionth Corvette produced.
The other five Corvettes were too damaged to be repaired but will remain at the museum to show the effects of the sinkhole, Strode said.

Speedo drops to zero while driving
Hi everyone
New member just joined forum for the first time today while driving my focus (2001) zetec collection the speedo needle dropped to zero
odometer displayed ---- abs light came on
Any idea members what caused this
transmission output speed sensor (OSS)
... or VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on a manual gearbox. It's located on tthe diff. Check wiring as a first step.
So OSS or VSS are the same
While they tell you the same thing, OSS and VSS are different. I have a similar problem where all guages go out intermittantly. My guess is a loose wire.

The Inauguration of Barack Obama
Okay, I lied. But still, there's nothing else on TV.
I wrote something about the inauguration at The Second Road, a guest post, and hope you don't mind going over there to read it.
It's going to take me awhile to process my vacation. And you know you want pictures. But they have to develop and these things take time.
I'll get to it, I promise.
P.S. You can get the full text of the WSJ article I discuss, Steven Waldman's Power of Prayer here.

I popped over there and read the post; it's a good one. You're right on, you know. If we are going to keep saying we have freedom of religion, then we must certainly acknowledge that whether we have one religious figure or ten of them at the inauguration. Personally, I was disappointed with Obama's choice, but I like Obama so I will overlook it just this once.

David Moyes has praised Robin van Persie's attitude - but admitted he has a selection dilemma for Sunday's visit of Liverpool with Danny Welbeck back on from.
Moyes took van Persie off after 63 minutes of Manchester United's 3-0 win at West Brom last weekend, despite saying he was happy with his striker's display.
Welbeck came on for the Dutchman and United looked more potent in attack, with the England striker grabbing his side's final goal to finish a slickly-worked move.
Although van Persie is likely to start for the Red Devils in Sunday's Old Trafford showdown against Liverpool, Moyes admitted Welbeck's form had given him much to ponder.
"Danny is looking sharp," said the United boss. "I said that to him two weeks ago.
"He came back [from injury] and scored us a few goals, then dipped a it after Christmas time, but there are signs he is getting sharper again. There's a sparkle in his eyes again. That can only be good for us.
"When we were without Wayne and Robin for a while, he got us the goals and he helped us. He's a really good player and I like him a lot. He give us a lot of good attributes.
"He's different from the other two [van Persie and Wayne Rooney] we have mentioned. He has a chance. He can play off the left, play through the middle. He gives us a different variation."
Moyes said he took van Persie off against West Brom because the 30-year-old had already been booked and could have picked up a second yellow card for a robust tackle on Steven Reid.
But the United boss claimed van Persie had one of his best games for him at The Hawthorns and praised the Dutch striker's commitment and work-rate for his team.
"I thought Robin had his best game against West Brom last week because he tackled people and he ran around," said Moyes.
"I told him what was required and he didn't half do it. It got close to the wire [with a possible second yellow card] but that's the Robin van Persie we want.
"We know the Robin van Persie who can score, he's a brilliant individual player, but he's also a team player and I thought he showed that last week. I thought he played really well.
"I thought he had more of the ball against West Brom than he ever had. He had more touches. I thought he was very committed and determined to make sure that the work he did was noticed for the team.
"He'd played 90 minutes [for Holland], he'd been booked, one was close, so you'd be crazy not to have done it [take him off] knowing the games and programme we have coming up."


text: Ive got about 20 Sten mags and the only issue I've had is that not all of them want to seat properly in the mag well but its an easy fix. The problem was with the mag catch so all I did was remove a small amount of material on the back of the mag with a dremel and then they worked fine. Do yourself a favor and get the mag loader for the sten mags. Makes it much easier.
