Welcome to KLM Steelers Football Program - 2016, Home of the 2014 NG 365 12U MARYLAND STATE CHAMPIONS!
From William Mack, Commissioner of KLM for 29 years
As the Commissioner of the KLM Football Program for the past 29 years, I know what it takes to run a football program. I know each kid requires special attention in different ways to succeed. I will make sure that happens. The KLM Steelers Football Program has no boundaries. Kids can participate from all areas. Kids can play with their best friends, their cousins, etc. If they can get to practices and games, all are welcomed.
We will also have the following teams; Flag and 6U ,8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U teams (no weight restrictions), will play under the umbrella of the Greater Metropolitan Youth Football League (GMYFL). All football players must have a Maryland Non-Driver's License ID from the MVA. Please arrange to take your kid to MVA for this ID.
We have an excellent coaching staff eager to teach, lift the confidence and spirits of the kids. We pride ourselves on preparing kids for the next level of football and education.
We are seeking additional cheerleaders to help cheer on our 10 teams. The KLM Lady Steelers - Cheerleaders certainly pulled together team spirit for the players and spectators. We are expecting an exciting Cheerleader season.
Make sure you schedule time to come see our games, the cheerleaders, and the KLMSteelers drum-line and band. It's going to be a real game experience!

KLM Steelers: Continuing The Legacy
Coach William Mack Jr. is continuing the legacy of his father Coach William Mack Sr. who has been the commissioner of the KLM Steelers for the past 25 years.
The Steelers have been an historically successful program in the Kettering, Largo and Mitchelville area of PG County. Coach Mack Sr. has been a Coach, Teacher, Father, big brother and Mentor to so many young men in our community that the true magnitude of his time and sacrifices can not be measured.
The Steelers were unanimously voted into the GMYFL for the 2013 season not only because of there rich history but the great leadership that William Mac Jr. (pictured above) have shown guiding them to there next chapter of success. The Steelers have won so many championships but the apex of there program is not just about X's and O's but more about touching the lives of the young men and women in there community. "It takes a village to raise a child," is such an overused cliché but the KLM Steelers are great examples of what the village should look and feel like and the GMYFL and the surrounding communities should take the time and recognize true great leadership in it's prime while we can.
The KLM steelers started the 2015 season off on a great note having all but one of there teams UNDEFEATED by week three of the season and was giving the title by the Youthfootballnetwork.com of being the team to beat in the NFC division. All but one of the Steelers team made the playoffs and they finished there interim season in the GMYFL as the 2013 NFC 6U Championships.

Living LIVE News Report 05.07.12
Welcome everyone to another issue of the Living LIVE News Report, and as always, I'm your host for the evening, Trace Aber. I've spent the better part of the week in Chicago for a psychology conference, and thus haven't had much time to play any games this week. All that means is this upcoming week will see me playing a lot more game than normal to catch up. With that said, let's talk about what's going on in the world of Xbox!
First Major Skyrim DLC Announced
Bethesda has officially announced the first downloadable content for the award-winning Skyrim, and it'll be called Dawnguard.
Very little is known about the DLC, but the name has been trademarked since earlier this year. Dawnguard is the name of a museum located in Dawnstar, which specializes in the Order of the Mythic Dawn. Another clue was found in a patch that hinted at frost elves and crossbows, so it's likely to live up to the claim that DLC will feel like expansion packs.
Outside of the above image, Bethesda has been pretty quiet on releasing major details. In fact, the only thing they've said is that more information will be revealed at E3, and that it is a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360, which seems to be the norm for a lot of games nowadays. As always, we'll keep you updated with the latest information.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Announced
In what should come as a surprise to absolutely nobody, there's going to be another Call of Duty released this year, though this time it'll be a Black Ops sequel. The game's official UK website confirmed it, and released the following trailer:
The website promises that the team is "Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare. Pre-order today."
The game is a direct sequel to the original, and jumps between the late 80s and 2025 timelines. Unfortunately, we will not be switching between timelines in multiplayer, as all action will take place in 2025. It's narrated by Frank Woods from the originals Blops, and you'll be playing as Alex Mason in the 80s and his son, David, in 2025. Also, in one mission there's going to be horses.
In addition to branching storylines, the game also introduces 'Strike Force" mode, which are special missions that complement the core campaign. You'll be able to control aerial and land drones, as well as squads of troops at your will.
The game will, of course, feature zombies, though little details have been given. It will, however, feature new modes, meaning zombie mode might end up even more addicting than before.
You can expect to hear more about Black Ops 2 throughout the year until it finally releases November 13, 2012.
Microsoft Releasing Rent-to-Own 360 Bundle?
In one of the weirder stories of the week, The Verge recently released a report that states Microsoft might be offering a $99 Xbox 360 package with a two-year $15 monthly subscription plan. No word is given on when it will be shipped, but it could be as soon as this week.
The bundle, a first of its kind for Microsoft, includes a 4GB Xbox, Kinect, a Gold subscriptions, and the aforementioned $15 monthly fee for two years. Combined, that's $459, but you'll end up paying even more if you break the contract. Or, even worse, if you want to buy a decent sized hard drive for your new console.
The bundle is not planned to be widespread, but instead localized to Microsoft Stores only. I suppose this is to appeal to those still holding out, and the rent-to-own model, while horribly structured, does indeed work, this seems like such an obviously horrible deal. Microsoft has yet to make an official statement on the issue.
Max Payne Season Pass Announced; Will Cost $30
Continuing the trend of DLC "season passes," Rockstar recently revealed their DLC plans for the highly anticipated Max Payne 3. All of the DLC is multiplayer only, and spending $30 at once will save you a total of 35%. The content will begin rolling out in June and last until Fall of 2012. You can check out the full list of DLC below;
June 2012:
Local Justice Map Pack: Includes three maps, avatar items, multiplayer challenges, and more
Summer 2012:
Disorganized Crime Map Pack
Deathmatch Made in Heaven Mode Pack
Hostage Negotiation Map Pack
New York Minute Co-Op Pack
Fall 2012:
Painful Memories Map Pack
Trickle Down Economics Map Pack
While everything I've read about the multiplayer has been positive, I'm quite surprised that Rockstar didn't announce at least one single player DLC. I understand they're pushing multiplayer, but Rockstar has always been known for their great single player experiences, and it seems they've lost that focus with Max Payne 3. We'll know more when the game releases on May 15, 2012.
Random News and Notes
-Larry Hyrb, better known as Major Nelson, has announced the end of inside Xbox, the short show that gave news and previews to Xbox 360 owners over LIVE. Shame to see it go, as it was a neat little synopsis of what they had coming up.
-The highly anticipated Skyrim Kinect patch has been released.
-What was once an April Fool's jokes has now become full-fledged DLC: Saint's Row the Third: Enter the Dominatrix has been officially announced, and will have the Saints trapped in a VR simulation of Steelport. Oh, and there's superpowers.
-According to an early post on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, it looks like the upcoming South Park RPG is going to be titled The Stick of Truth.

A convicted killer dubbed the Black Dog Strangler has escaped from a secure hospital, police said tonight.
Phillip Westwater, 44, fled St Nicholas Hospital in Gosforth, Newcastle, at 10am after asking to go to the toilet.
He was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act following a pub fight in 1989, then strangled fellow patient Derek Williams at Ashworth Hospital, Liverpool, with his dressing gown cord.
He admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, having become convinced his victim had turned into a black dog.
Northumbria Police said the public should not approach Westwater.
A spokesman said: "Officers are making inquiries into this individual and any risks he may or may not pose.
"In the meantime people are asked to contact police on the 999 emergency number if they see him and not to approach him."
The police spokesman added: "At 10am on January 2, Mr Westwater was being escorted in the hospital when he asked to go to the toilets, from where he escaped."
Westwater is described as white, 6ft and of slim build, with brown/grey hair.
He left his clothes in the toilet so police have no description of what he is wearing.
Westwater, from Newcastle, married a nurse while he was a patient at high- security Rampton Hospital in 2008.
He and his bride, reported to be Claire Dudley, wed in a social club at the Nottinghamshire hospital.
Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust said the right to marry was enshrined in the 1988 Human Rights Act.
A hospital spokeswoman denied the couple could consummate their marriage while he was being treated there.
In 1989 Westwater left a drinker paralysed for life after slashing him across the throat with a shard of glass in a pub fight. He killed Williams at Ashworth Hospital the following year.
Before being treated at Rampton, Westwater had also been a patient at Broadmoor.
St Nicholas Hospital in Newcastle is considered a medium- security unit.
Westwater will have undergone a risk assessment before he was escorted by a member of staff, a Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust spokesman said.
"Patients in receipt of hospital care routinely undertake periods of planned or escorted leave as part of their treatment plans, which are designed to help in their recovery.
"Before being granted leave, all patients are rigorously risk- assessed.
"In the rare event that a patient does go missing, we have agreed protocols in place with our colleagues at Northumbria Police to ensure that patients are returned to hospital as quickly as possible."
Westwater was being escorted from his ward to a restaurant in a separate building - but within the hospital site - when he went missing.
It is understood police will have been in contact with any friends and family the patient has living in the Tyneside area.
As he was detained under the Mental Health Act, Westwater will have been treated as a patient rather than a criminal, with emphasis on improving his condition.
Prior to any period of escorted leave, he would have been assessed by his consultant psychiatrist, a psychologist and the nursing team.
As he was previously treated in high security hospitals prior to moving to the Newcastle unit, it is understood medics will have considered his condition to be improving.
The missing patient is diabetic and has been fitted with a pump which has enough insulin to last three days, police said.
A team of officers is dedicated to finding him and the force has increased patrols in the area.
The force said later he was believed to be wearing black Adidas Samba trainers, black and grey combat trousers, a black and blue jacket, black hat and gloves.
The spokesman said: "Police have concerns for his welfare.
"He is diabetic and because of this he has a pump fitted and has enough insulin to last him for three days."

You can either find another roomate(one who likes your cats) or tell her to shut her door.
Izadore (Izzie) answered on 11/20/07. Helpful? / 0
Purchase an inexpensive baby gate (prevents kitty from dashing in when the door opens) and keep the door closed.
Member 488376 answered on 11/20/07. Helpful? / 0
Best way... just shut the door!
My boyfriend and I tried to use a baby gate for our kitty and she just jumped right over it. The gate was at least 3 feet tall and we were shocked at how easily she got over.

REPUBLIC RECORDS and AMC's "The Walking Dead AMC Original Soundtrack – Vol. 2…Sounds of Survival" will sink its teeth into Wal-Mart stores exclusively on August 27, 2013 as part of the special edition Blu-ray and DVD set—The Walking Dead: Complete Third Season. The original soundtrack and DVD sets serve as a fitting prelude to the critically acclaimed television phenomenon, which returns to AMC Sunday October 13 at 9PM ET/PT.
The collection will feature a bevy of original music recorded for the show from a myriad top artists including Youngblood Hawke with the powerful "Culprit," Lisa Marie Presley with the elegantly tense "People," Band of Skulls with "Double O Bruises", Timber Timbre & Feist with "Homage," and more.

In the highly anticipated fourth season, Rick and the group are fostering a thriving community in the safe haven of the prison. Sadly, in this brutal world, happiness is short-lived and walkers and outside threats are no match for danger brewing inside the fences. The group's home and new way of life will be thoroughly tested, and their struggle to survive has never been so perilous.
Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, "The Walking Dead" stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Scott Wilson, Melissa McBride, David Morrissey, Emily Kinney, Danai Gurira, Chad Coleman and Sonequa Martin-Green.

Rare reptile in sticky situation
An animal lover has saved the life of a rare tortoise by fixing its cracked shell with window sealant.
Colin Walton, 39, was thrilled when the tiny Indian Star baby hatched from its egg at his home in North Tyneside.
But the tiny tortoise - the size of a 50p - was in distress and Mr Walton was dismayed to see a crack running the length of its shell and blood seeping out.
Quick-thinking Mr Walton grabbed a tube of silicone sealant and, very carefully, applied it to the hairline crack.
He then placed the baby in an incubator and waited in hope that his DIY repair work had been successful.
The next day the bleeding had stopped and the baby appeared to have made a full recovery.
Mr Walton, who has 17 tortoises, said: "It was wonderful to finally hatch a tortoise after 10 years of trying.
"But I was very concerned when I saw the baby's shell was cracked and there was a spot of blood.
"I didn't hold out much hope but I used silicon window sealant to repair it returned it to the incubator.
"This species rarely breeds in the country and as far as I know only Edinburgh Zoo has hatched one, four years ago."
Conservation efforts
Mr Walton is a member of the Tortoise Trust and the British Chelonia Group and keeps several species, including the Madagascar Radiated, Hermann's and Spur-thighed tortoises.
Imports of the creatures, once a common pet shop purchase, are now controlled for conservation reasons.
John Thorpe, of the British Chelonia Group, said Mr Walton's swift action had saved the baby's life.
"The baby would have been very vulnerable at such a young age, a crack like that can let in infection and lead to death quickly.
"He did just the right thing in sealing the crack and I am glad he managed to save its life."

My name is David Herrmann and I live in Germany. I am a student in Computer Science and Mathematics and in my spare time I like coding C, working on the Linux kernel or writing firmwares. If you are interested in my work, see below.
- systemd (Co-Maintainer, 2013 – now): The systemd project provides a common base layer and core operating system for a modern, linux based OS. I am working on the desktop-related functionality.
- kdbus (Co-Maintainer, 2014 – now): kdbus is a kernel IPC layer that provides easy to use, low-overhead inter-process communication. It is a bus-based approach, providing many advanced features, including single-copy, metadata transmission, a name registry and more.
- XWiimote (Maintainer, 2010 – now): The XWiimote Tools include a Linux kernel driver and user-space utilities to use Nintendo Wii Remotes as input devices on Linux. I worked on reverse-engineering the proprietary protocol and develop the Linux hid-wiimote kernel driver and user-space software. The driver is available in the upstream repositories and included in all major Linux distributions.
- BlueZ (Contributor, 2011 – now): BlueZ is the official Linux Bluetooth stack. Since Google-Summer-of-Code 2011 I am contributing to the development of BlueZ due to my involvement of the XWiimote software stack. I am working on the kernel drivers and co-maintaining the BT HID layer.
- KMSCON (Maintainer, 2011 – 2014): KMSCON is a terminal/console emulator for Linux. It was created as replacement for the in-kernel terminal emulator and VT subsystem. It is based on the Linux DRM subsystem and uses Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) to display the console to the screen. Similar to Wayland it is an attempt to replace the old Linux infrastructure with a modern approach and producing better maintainable code while dropping the 20-year old mess that is VT+X11. In 2014, I stopped working on it. We implemented a replacement in systemd, based on the lessons learned on KMSCON.
- Wayland (Contributor, 2011 – now): Wayland is an approach to replace the old X11 protocol with a new fresh and modern protocol. I am working on the DRM backend and contributing to the reference implementation called weston.

Buckmasters,You have to read this.
About 6 months ago,Buckmasters calls my home.They are trying to talk me into their lifetime membership.It's 500.00.I tell them to send me some info about it.I (wife)decides it's too much money.And I had been spending too much on knives anyway.This Friday my wife calls me and tells me I received a collection letter in the mail from some company in new york.I call them and it was from Buckmasters!!I call them and they tell me I owe them 500.00 for something I never ordered.Then they tell me the only way they will stop the collections,is if I will extend my current membership for 28.00.I told them to go to he@@.They are trying to force me to stay a member or they will sue me.I never recieved anything from them except the magazine that I already recieved anyway.I'm not sure how this will end.I wonder what Jackie Bushman would say.
Sounds like a scam. I would call and/or write my state attorney general and explain the whole thing to them. (My guess is that you are not committed to this.) Then I would call Buckmasters, get a superviser or someone higher up than the person who answers and tell them that you have been in contact with your state's attorney general. Scams usually buckle really quickly when there hear this. Good luck.
They tried the same thing with me with the new membership subscription. I tild them to get bent and I still get calls from thier telemarketers. I treat them like any other telemarketers though. Next time tell them about your call to the attorney. :crazy:
Sorry to hear about your situation that's to bad that an outdoor company would stoop that low......well anything for a $ BUCK, haha a BUCK LOL
:boxing: Yep thats messed up. Im sure you will get out of that one. Contest it with the collection agency for sure.
I only have three words for you better business bureau.
I am very sorry to hear about your mess. I hope it works out for you.

New Orleans Culture
Home > Find a B&B > New Orleans Culture
What is the culture of New Orleans? Is it Spanish or French? Creole or Cajun? It is certainly unlike any other city in the United States. To understand why, it is necessary to learn something about the history of the city.
The French settled New Orleans in 1718, but the Spanish ruled from 1765 to 1802. The French and Spanish from Europe were joined in the mid 1700s by many Acadians, or Cajuns. Thrown out of Acadia (present day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island) by the British, they eventually ended up in what is today Louisiana, where their culture flourished.
Unique at the time, the Europeans of New Orleans did not try to suppress the American Indians who lived in the region. Instead, the French allowed them to keep their freedom and culture. Also interesting is the fact that the Spanish, in an effort to gain support over the French, allowed many slaves to buy their freedom. Many of those slaves were West Africans who had come directly to New Orleans from West Africa; their descendants are known as Creoles.
Cajun and Creole, Spanish and French, Native American and Catholic - this was New Orleans. The city was geographically and culturally far removed from the Anglo-Saxon settlements in New England and Virginia, and remained so until after the Louisiana Purchase, in 1803. Even after the Louisiana Purchase, French was spoken - not English. Protestantism did not rule the souls of the citizens - Catholicism did. From the beginning, there was a spirit of inclusion and freedom that horrified some travelers from the north while fascinating others.
Today, the rich and varied culture of New Orleans is evidenced in its food, music, and architecture. It is easy to fall in love with this complex city - it's the type of place that can take a lifetime to truly understand. Start with a few days or a week at a New Orleans bed and breakfast… you'll be back for more.

Sit on our verandah (southern for "porch"), sip your coffee or wine, and people-watch, as folks have been doing here since the 1850s. Look out our old, wavy glass windows and imagine the horse and carriage that once graced our courtyard. Take a stroll down Rampart Street (featured in dozens of songs) and you will likely be greeted by a neighborly "How you doin'?" At our B&B, you are cheek by jowl with world-class museums, jazz clubs, restaurants, art galleries, and historic homes. But more than that, in the Faubourg Marigny, you are also in the middle of a living breathing culture that goes back hundreds of years. Get yourself a treat from Loretta's Original Pralines, enjoy a fine creole meal, take in some jazz, and immerse yourself in a culture and way of life like no other.

Music and food. These are two of the main cultural icons of New Orleans. The Faubourg Marigny, our neighborhood is teaming with both. The epicenter of the Marigny is Frenchmen street. Along Frenchmen you'll find unique restaurants, bars, and music clubs. This is not Bourbon Street cover band music, this is mostly local musicians. Any night of the week you can stroll down Frenchman and either pop in to one of the clubs or stand on the sidewalk and listen for a spell. Frenchmen street is four short blocks away.

Ray is a local of French and Spanish (Creole) heritage. He has a whole page printed on "What is Cajun and What is Creole?" for guests who are interested. (Cajun is not Indian, and Creole is not necessarily black.) Ray speaks French and is connected to the local French community, and a member of the French-American Chamber of Commerce. We know the food and music of our culture intimately :-)

From the beginning, New Orleanians were inclusive, embracing diverse cultures. We're like no other city in the USA. There is a visceral pull that brings visitors back, time and time again (50% of our guests return). People often think of New Orleans original inhabitants as Cajun, African American, Creole, native American Indians, with French, Mediterranean, and Spanish roots, but scratch below the surface. We are a gumbo pot blend of many cultures, while still honoring the traditions of our ancestors (ask us about the Mardi Gras Indians, who are a fascinating & unique facet of New Orleans culture). The varied and rich culture of NAwlins can best be experienced in its music, cuisine, and architecture. And what better place to start your cultural journey than at our B&B

New Game from Katamari Damacy Creator to Debut at GDC
For those who are sick of the Katamari games, today is an especially good day for you. The original creator of Katamari Damacy, Keita Takahashi and IGF chairman Brandon Boyer announced their new game, Tenya Wanya Teens today.
Tenya Wanya Teens is a "coming-of-age tale about love, hygiene, monsters, and finding discarded erotic magazines in the woods." From this description, you can probably expect a level of quirkiness on par, or far surpassing that of the Katamari series.
The game's premise revolves around "trying desperately to not say or do the wrong thing at the wrong time – that universal struggle to maintain the facade of normality during the awkward transition from child to adulthood".
It's a two player affair and it's played with custom 16-button arcade sticks. The game's soundtrack is being composed by Takahashi's wife, Asuka Sakai. Look for the game to make its debut at GDC next week.

Question: I am a member of the Friends of La Trobe's Cottage. Do you have a model of this building in your collection? If so, is it on display?
Answer: A scale model of La Trobe's Cottage is in Museum Victoria's collection. It was made by John Cherrey for a 1989 Melbourne Museum exhibition entitled Home Sweet Home: Changes in Victorian Architecture 1839–1989. It was then donated to the collection by Hassell Pty Ltd. The cottage was the earliest domestic building portrayed in the exhibition, having been brought to Victoria on the same ship as La Trobe himself in 1839. The model is not currently on display; however, a description and photograph of the item can be accessed at our History & Technology Collections Online site. If your research requires access to the model itself, you should make a Collection Access request via our online form.
Several other architectural models from the Home Sweet Home exhibition were donated to Museum Victoria's collection, and a couple of them are on display at our venues. At the Immigration Museum's Leaving Home gallery, visitors can see a model of Milligan House, a concrete home built in Brighton in 1922; meanwhile, visitors to Melbourne Museum's Melbourne Story exhibition can view the model of a house used in "Operation Snail" in the late 1940s. Both of these models are also viewable online via the History & Technology Collections Online site.
Of course the best way to experience La Trobe's Cottage is to arrange a visit to the building itself. The cottage now sits on Dallas Brooks Drive near Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens, just down the road from the current (much grander!) Government House. Public visits to the cottage are overseen by the National Trust.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX opens lower, dragged by energy shares
* TSX down 82.64 points, or 0.57 percent, at 14,420.35
* Nine of 10 main sectors fall
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Thursday, with shares in energy companies drooping on lower oil prices while earnings surprises moved specific financial, telecom, mining and other stocks.
The energy sector, which accounts for 19 percent of the weight of the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index , fell 1.5 percent as oil slipped to multi-month lows amid a persistent global supply glut and little sign of a reduction in production.
Suncor Energy Inc lost 1.7 percent to C$36.67. Canadian Natural Resources retreated 1.2 percent to C$31.94, despite a fall in production expenses that helped the country's largest independent petroleum producer report better-than-expected adjusted earnings.
"CNQ is going to go up and down with the price of oil. Until the price of oil recovers I don't care how good their cost control is," said Barry Schwartz, vice president and portfolio manager at Baskin Financial Services.
The overall index was down 82.64 points, or 0.57 percent, at 14,420.35 by 10:03 a.m. EDT (1403 GMT). Nine of the 10 main sectors fell.
Shares in SNC-Lavalin Group Inc fell 9 percent to C$39.81 after the engineering and construction company said costly problems with two projects hurt its earnings. Continued...

Two black wires with one white! Please help!
Hi, I tried relocate old outlets, 2''away. I have 3 old wires - B and W in a black protection material, with copper wires connected by nuts to the metal box (was build 1960).I marked all the wires and connected like it was before,copper wires, I suppose grounding, I connected all together, and conn to the green screw in the outlet. One b wire a hot, was connected to the right screw terminal and two w wires and the two are connected to the to screws at the left terminal. The leftover two B wires and one W ! one were connected together like they were before When I connected all of them I had a power shortage. there are 3outlets in my room, and 2 flood lights that operate from a dimmer switch. I think that the dimmer switch was connected to this outlet. I tried all combinations of B wire with the W, but nothing worked. May be it was the shortage after i tried to pull some wire from the studs? May be i killed dimmer? Is it possible that two B wires and one W connected together? How to fix it?
Hope you get this!!! It would appear based on your info that there was a power source coming into the box 1b, 1w and a power source feeding something down the line. 1b, 1w. the third wire however has me confused. It is possible that whoever installed the dimmer switch fed it hot from that receptacle but w/o any further info it is hard to say. I would recommend you contact me F.O.C. by way of email @ firstname.lastname@example.com and I will see if I can help you figure it out.
First of all, undo all your connections that you made in the outlets,except the grounds(bare copper wires), cap off all wires individually using wirenuts(put a wirenut on each wire, then turn on the circuit breaker. If you have no short and breaker does not trip then you did not pinch any wires iside the wall.
After that get a hot stick tester,voltage indicator(tester that using inductive voltage to indicate the power in the wire, can be bought at construction store for around $15). Check all your white and black wires with it .
---I assume that it will show nothing on whites and will indicate at least one black being hot. If it indicates only one black being hot then: turn off the breaker in the panel, test all wires agane make sure that circut is dead and black is not hot anymore. Connect all blacks together and all whites together. Try to reset breaker and see if it works wthout tripping. Then turn off the power agane, land all your blacks on right side ofreceptacles and white ones on left. Test agane see if this fixes it.
Another case is that this box was used to make a connection for your switch then: hot wire goes on right rerminal of receptacle and white from the same cable lands on left. Two other blacks go together by themselves. Then you need to identify white wire that is coming from the switch and land it on hot(right) side of receptacle and the other white that comes from the light lands on left side of receptacle.
Would be helpfull if you open the switch and look how many wires you have in the box.
Great ideas Sparky,
The post was a little garbled, but I kind of think he may have a switch loop. The best way to see is to do just as you suggested though. Post back IBS and we will figure this out!!!
To clarify a tad.. when the receptacle is in a "ground down" position the hot will be on the right and the neutral and ground terminals on the left. The hot slot is shorter than the neutral slot and the ground is the little round hole.
Ground down the receptacle will look like this :huh: With the neutral slot being Andy's left eye, the hot being Andy's right eye, and Andy's mouth being the ground. Post back if you fix it!
Great job Sparky 180 but it's cheating if you edit your post after my post without explaining why... Makes me look like a bit of an idiot.:laughing: That's easy enough anyway!!!
Please, please don't reconnect that dimmer to the outlet. Dimmers are not meant to control receptacles. That is why they make in- line lamp cord dimmers.
I just gave a second thought about this topic and realized if this receptacle box is really used as junction box for a switch(plan B) then fixing it as of it was plan A (which is connecting all wires together color to color) will cause a short circuit and trip a breaker in case if the switch is in ON position. I recomend to turn it OFF prior to trobleshoting.
But i have news! I found electrical box in the same circuit with no power in the wires. I disconnected all the wires from this box.
After that i did it connection in my first outlet like it was it before: hot to the right, two whites to the left and two blacks and one white connected all together! Turn on breaker - no shortage! But steel no power on the switch and no power on the second box. The wall ,where this box, may be was punched by the nail. It happened after plumber install pex pipe on this wall.How do i checked this? Thank you in advance!
Ibs, buddy... you got a nail thru the wire by the dreaded plumber:furious: ! To confirm this, take a meter and check for continuity on the black and either white or ground. That would be just for fun, though. How good are you at sheet rock repair?:whistling2:
One set of B/W may have been to a suicide switch and by connecting www/bbb he has a dead short.
How many wires at the switch? What color?
220, the DIYers will want to know what a suicide switch is...Explain please.
Heck, Iknow what my def. is ,whats yours.
When you send power to a switch on the white wire and it comes back to the light (or outlet in this case) on the black.
Generally you don't expect the white (don't make be get into that) to be the "hot" thus the "suicide" nickname.
It SOUNDS like his switch has a black and white so I suspect the problem lies there.
I've said many times "it must be a nail/staple/screw".....but it rarely is. It is much more likely that he messed up the make up.
From reading his last post, that is likely the issue. He disconnected the circuit down the lind and cleared the short...but lost the light.:jester:
After re-reading post 9 it does sound like he is tying to blacks and a white together... but the wrong white.

ANOTHER grenade has been lobbed into the compact off-roader battlefield with the arrival of the Mitsubishi ASX. The sector has boomed more than 30 per cent this year, with the likes of the Nissan Dualis and Suzuki Grand Vitara fighting for share with the recently arrived – and immediately popular – Hyundai ix35.
The Mitsubishi ASX wants a big slice of that ground, and has been armed with a sharp and pointy price of $25,990 to do battle at the base level 2WD with manual gearbox ($2500 extra for the CVT). The 4WD is $31,990 and the top-spec Aspire is $36,990 – both with either six-speed manual or CVT transmission.
Also in its arsenal are excellent quality and fit-out for that price, plus solid comfort and handling. Mitsubishi expects to sell around 350 per month, but that number is limited by quota "The response from dealers suggests we could now do closer to 450 – if we could get them - but we're constrained until the end of the year at least," says Mitsubishi Australia's sales vice-president Anthony Casey.
He admits they underestimated demand for the vehicle, but says the global financial crisis was a strong factor in the decision. "The problem is that you do these things 18 months out, and 18 months ago the world looked like it was going to hell in a handbasket - but that didn't quite happen in Australia, of course," Casey says.
"But getting more than we'd originally planned for is going to be hard work." Casey says they're not concerned that the ASX might poach buyers from the Outlander, but the Lancer hatch could fall victim. If there is any cannibalisation, it will be on Lancer hatch - maybe 100 a month," he says.
The ASX has both diesel and petrol engines, with the latter being the 110kW/197Nm 2.0-litre, four-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine from the Lancer, mated to either a five-speed manual or a six-speed continuously-variable transmission (CVT) with paddle-shifters on the steering wheel.
The diesel is an all-new – and all-Mitsubishi – 1.8-litre turbo unit, with 110kW and 300Nm being delivered via a six-speed manual transmission. The Outlander has donated its three-mode electronic four-wheel drive system, that allows you to switch between front-wheel, all-wheel and locked modes.
The diesel manual 4WD is the economy winner at 5.8L/100km, with the 2WD using 7.7L in manual and 7.9L in CVT versions, while the 4WD with CVT comes in at 8.1L. Stop-start technology is available in Europe, with a brake regenerative system capturing energy for the battery during deceleration and braking.
But it is tied to smaller engines than the ones we're getting, and Mitsubishi product manager Craig Maxted says there's little fuel economy benefit. "Over there, it's been used mainly to improve emissions, and it doesn't do a lot for fuel – about 0.2L/100km less is all," Maxted says.
Body and styling
The ASX was seeded from the cX concept that was unveiled in 2007 at Frankfurt motor show, and developed on the Outlander platform – sharing that baseline with the brand's hero performer, the Lancer Evolution.
It's 34.5cm shorter than the Outlander and at around 1450kg is some 200kg lighter, but there are similar styling cues around the front from the Mitsubishi family face, however at the rear it has a much neater look, although it misses out on the sibling's handy split-fold tailgate.
Fit-out and equipment
Mitsubishi has put some effort into the cabin, which punches above its price point's weight with quality plastics and a stacked equipment list. Standard kit includes telescopic steering column, stability control, hill-start assist, anti-skid brakes with brakeforce distribution and assistance for extra help.
Mitsubishi expects to win five safety stars in crash-testing being done now, helped by a strong body with 'crush box' crumple zones and standard fitment of seven airbags, including a driver-knee one. The spare is a space saver, but there's a full-size option available - although it cuts into the floor space.
The ASX is designed for comfort rather than speed, and delivers on that promise. While they're on the flattish side, the seats are firm but supportive. And the interior is filled with quality soft-touch finishes that lend an almost premium hint – and shame one or two of its higher-priced rivals.
The cabin is quiet and well-isolated from all but the worst bumps and vibration. There's some air rush around the windscreen at highway speeds, but aside from that no noise intruded except over the kind of coarse-chip bitumen that no amount of noise damping can save you from.
The diesel has the better torque, but is a bit clattery from idle, although that improves as you wind it up. Our vote went to the 2.0-litre petrol, but with the CVT automatic transmission, you need to keep the revs up above 3000rpm to stir it along with any real urgency, but the steering wheel paddles make this an easy task.
The manual naturally has more luck in keeping the engine stirred up, but while it was a fairly smooth shift we couldn't get to like the touch of notchiness – and the stretch for fingers trying to reach for the reverse ring on the shaft. Mitsubishi is confident that the female buyers (towards whom it believes the sub-compact class is skewed) will head for the automatic transmission.
Although the ride is remarkably comfortable, the ASX doesn't feel sluggish, with good turn-in from decently-weighted steering. While the suspension is set up to aid comfort, there's far less body roll than in some of its rivals, and the brakes pull it up neatly. Overall, it's a stable and confident performer, and is kitted out far better than you'd expect for the price.
Score: 74/100

God talks to me personally almost daily. He has told me that most of the Bible contains allegorys but is not really the direct word of God. He said he had some major issues with the monks where transcribing the Bible getting their information mixed up. He also said that during the Dark Ages, the people running the Catholic church were more in love with the power of control than God. He told me that things really got wacky with the Bible when they translated it from Latin to other languages.
God has told me that he just wants everybody to get along. I asked him about gays and gay marriage and he said he could care less who marries who as long as they love each other and are good people at heart.
Confused by what God was telling me and what the Bible says, I asked God about the many contradictions in the Bible. God says the Bible is that way because corrupt men who only valued power and control were telling people certain things about God so they could maintain control. These lies were written down and eventually considered fact. God said almost all of the information in the Bible is corrupt this way.
Finally, I asked God about people who take all the information in the Bible as Fact. He said man has developed the scientific method of verifying information and man should use this tool to find out the truth.
So there ya go, God's original intentions. Before you write this off as bullshit, I'll just say I bet you can't prove God didn't say this to me.

In an excellent Monday Night Countdown segment in which ESPN's Chris Mortensen reviewed the status of various embattled head coaches, Mort mentoned that former Rams running back Marshall Faulk wants to be the next head coach of the team.
Our take? The dude has been hanging around Deion Sanders too much.
As you might recall, Sanders tried a couple of years ago to throw his fedora into the ring for the Falcons job — with zero experience in coaching or personnel evaluation and/or management.
Faulk, like Deion, simply doesn't have the credentials to be a head coach. He could be an assistant coach, and then he could gradually learn the side of the business he never saw while he was a player. And then after working his way up the ladder and gaining some experience he might be ready to become a candidate for a head-coaching job.
Still, there's no way Faulk can waltz right in as a head coach, and if he thinks he can then he's delusional. Or stupid.
Or both.

Do you actually report news on your own Florio? Or do you just mooch off of other sources?
AreYouJoking says: Dec 22, 2008 8:22 PM
After listening to him and Deon call(I guess that's what they were trying to do) the Dallas game on Saturday, it's pretty safe to say that he's at least somewhat stupid.
empty13 says: Dec 22, 2008 8:22 PM
faulk is dreaming if he thinks he is a viable candidate. yet, he is a million times a better candidate than deion.
deion is good at wearing bling now. that's it. there is no way he would even try to put the necessary work into it and he isnt even capable anyway. he doesnt have a clue of the long hours people put in and why.
faulk would try a lot harder and be better at it, but still not good. this is because i bet he is sincere. deion wasnt a great player imho, his act detracted from his talent, and he didnt play the whole defensive game anyway (no run tackling please). faulk DID do it all from his position and he was a damn great player.
and the damn great ones wont make excuses for anyone and will drive them all hard and not be able to handle it when the players arent all great and smart.
meanwhile captain bling as head coach would walk around dressing and acting like a pimp or like kramer in the technicolor dreamcoat and huggy bear platform shoes + cane and holler the r word at his detractors when the good ship lollipop went down.
Guy says: Dec 22, 2008 8:23 PM
Its simply sheer disrespect on their part, towards the profession of coaching, for thinking themselves capable of the head coaching position.
greensmackginny says: Dec 22, 2008 8:25 PM
Yeah, and he'll hire Warren Sapp to be the strength and conditioning coach.
drew says: Dec 22, 2008 8:27 PM
If Matt Millen can waltz in and be a president of a team, why can't Faulk waltz in and get a HC job?
I don't think its that ridiculous. After all, look at the brilliant success Mike "Pinball" Clemons has had since becoming the head coach of the Argos just a few years after retirement. He's well on pace to be a HOF coach. (I'm not being serious)
Jon says: Dec 22, 2008 8:33 PM
I don't think it's fair to say that Faulk NEVER saw any part of the coaching profession. While it's true to say that he doesn't have any experience evaluating personnel, you can't honestly say that he wouldn't have any idea what he was doing as far as game preparation and things of that nature. Marshall Faulk was widely regarded as one of the most intelligent players in the league, he sure couldn't be THAT bad as a head coach.
That said, I don't think he'd be a good coach for the Rams.
RyanHarris says: Dec 22, 2008 8:35 PM
While I agree that Faulk shouldnt be taken seriously as a HC candidate, I think the Rams would be foolish not to hire him as an assistant.
First hire him as a RB coach, also make him an assistant OC. Marshall was the most intelligent player on the field at all times, and I have no doubt that he would put the work into becoming an excellent coach.
Deon…go away, you are one more "TO is a great teammate" puffpiece from being completely irrelevant.
VegasChris says: Dec 22, 2008 8:37 PM
Shame on you, Florio.
This is America, the land of opportunities.
I mean, this is the only country where a lowly contract lawyer could be a big-shot sports blogger.
Is it not so?
freedomispopular says: Dec 22, 2008 8:42 PM
And I guess Scott Linehan and Jim Haslett ARE qualified to be head coaches?
EskinSux says: Dec 22, 2008 8:46 PM
Hell….Why not?….Vox coaches the cowgirls from his mom's basement..
wolfgang says: Dec 22, 2008 8:56 PM
"Faulk, like Deion, simply doesn't have the credentials to be a head coach."
True, so he will doubtlessly be the next head coach in Oakland.
aec4 says: Dec 22, 2008 8:56 PM
PERFECT Rooney Rule candidate for the Rams though.
babyvegas says: Dec 22, 2008 9:02 PM
No credentials, zero experience, completely unqualified. Well, he could always coach the Raiders…
Vox Veritas says: Dec 22, 2008 9:16 PM
"deion is good at wearing bling now. that's it. there is no way he would even try to put the necessary work into it and he isnt even capable anyway. he doesnt have a clue of the long hours people put in and why."
And I suppose YOU DO, coach? How much time have you spent being coached by professional football coaches?
Yeah, thought so.
"deion wasnt a great player imho"
Are you out of your mind?
"his act detracted from his talent, and he didnt play the whole defensive game anyway (no run tackling please). faulk DID do it all from his position and he was a damn great player."
Faulk did it all from his position? How many INTs did he have? How many tackles? Special teams scores? Deion came closer to doing it all than Marshall Faulk ever will in his wildest dreams. He scored TD's in every way it's possible to score a TD. Rush, reception, INT return, fumble return, punt return, kickoff return.
And relax EskinSux, I see you… looks like you got a big box of "obsession for men" for Xmas. Lack of capitalization intended, by the way.
kazkal says: Dec 22, 2008 9:31 PM
It's better then a glorified busboy like the bengals hired…I'd say they should bring him on as a RB coach and just work from there.
kazkal says: Dec 22, 2008 9:32 PM
As for any of those who say Faulk is stupid they are a idiot themselves,The guy has football smarts and he knew to play game well he's inexperienced theirs nothing wrong with him having interest in a coaching career.
micker716 says: Dec 22, 2008 10:02 PM
Faulk is an example of the superstar athlete that thinks his physical ability somehow translates into success in any other endeavor they attempt. They don't think they need to pay their dues and actually learn their new professions. That's why these guys end up being such crappy broadcasters, coaches and businessmen. An assistant coach job is beneath someone with Faulk's ego.
mskrs says: Dec 22, 2008 11:56 PM
Surprising he would say that. From what I've seen/heard, Faulk likes the glamorous life and enjoys the perks of being a high-status (former) player too much to actually be committed to the grind of being a head coach.
He has a nice routine going of doing his media spots, golfing, and going to social events, and enjoying his women. Like h*ll he is going to give that up – at least anytime soon.
It must have been his ego (and some nice Moet) talking.
Stimpak says: Dec 23, 2008 1:25 AM
Faulk has said many times he would like to get involved with the Rams franchise somehow. I seriously doubt he would say he thinks he could or should be the head coach. I think he wants to get involved at some lesser degree.
Mike Martz has said that he's never coached a player who knew the Xs and Os better then Faulk. He's an extremely knowledgeable football mind
How You Tore Your Dress says: Dec 23, 2008 5:16 AM
Why not? It happens in other sports quite a lot, such as Soccer or Rugby, where players are given coaching jobs within months of retirement, and they can be quite successful. As long as they get an owner who is willing to let them have some time to get to grips with everything, it could be a good move.
albertperk says: Dec 23, 2008 8:51 AM
If he wants to coach let him coach. Can't get much worse than what they are now. And who are you to judge if he doesn't have the "right credentials"
Pea Tear Griffin says: Dec 23, 2008 10:16 AM
Didn't he not get along with Steven Jackson during his last playing days? Somehow I think that wouldn't work out.

In Bhutan, a stock trade a day keeps stress away
By Alistair Scrutton
THIMPHU (Reuters Life!) - Traders seeking a break from volatile global markets may want to head to Bhutan's bourse, where stocks are traded on just four computers -- when they have not crashed -- only twice a week.
"I've got one order to sell 2,820 shares," said 23-year-old Deki Peldon, the only broker for today's short trading hours in Thimphu, the capital of the tiny Himalayan kingdom.
"It's taken 2 to 3 weeks to find a buyer."
Welcome to the Royal Bhutan stock exchange, where just four brokers work and which will trade about $3 million shares this year, about what many financiers may deal with in the blink of an eye. The average daily trade in New York is more than 1 billion.
In a Buddhist country where national wealth is measured by Gross National Happiness -- an idea that spiritual and environmental health are just as important as material well-being -- the exchange is crawling slowly along as the country and its $1.3 billion economy tentatively embraces globalization.
The outside world is coming to Bhutan, slowly. Television arrived here in 1999 and there are now around 10,000 Internet connections in a country of under 700,000 people.
Bhutan still has no traffic lights since the first one was withdrawn after protests from residents that it was unsightly.

Even as bar associations and foundations have been trying to help members and the justice system cope with a soft economy, they have also had to tighten their own purse strings. There have been some cuts in programs and staff, but some bars have also seen an increase in collaboration and in corporate sponsorships. See why some say learning to "run lean" has not been an entirely bad thing.
Does watching the budget mean hanging on to outdated computers and an aging Web site? Many bars say no. This may not be the time to invest in every new gadget that comes off the assembly line, but many are carefully upgrading their software, hardware, and Web presence. Here's how they're making wise choices that allow them to stay current ... and on budget.
It's an ongoing problem: Many of our nation's poor do without adequate legal representation. Meanwhile, countless service-minded law students graduate each year, eager to help ... if only they could. Across the country, the legal community—including bar associations and foundations—is pulling together to establish loan repayment assistance programs. The goal? To ease the burden of debt many new lawyers carry, so that those who want to serve, can.
They may leave "deposits" on your lawn, but you can learn a lot from geese! They fly in formation because there's strength in numbers. They care for their sick and wounded. And they even take turns being the leader. Allan B. Head, chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Bar Activities and Services, and executive director of the North Carolina Bar Association, tells us why "if you're not honking, you're not helping."
