Reliability of the government's financial statements and record keeping also called into question.
Gene Dodaro, the comptroller general for the Government Accountability Office, testified at the Senate Budget Committee to provide the results of its audit on the government's financial books. "We're very heavily leveraged in debt," Dodaro said. "The historical average post-World War II of how much debt we held as a percent of gross domestic product was 43 percent on average; right now we're at 74 percent."
Dodaro says that under current law, debt held by the public will hit a historic high. "The highest in the United States government's history of debt held by the public as a percent of gross domestic product was 1946, right after World War II," he said. "We're on mark to hit that in the next 15 to 25 years."
Another economic projection which assumes that cost controls for Medicare don't hold and that healthcare costs continue to increase, shows debt rising even further. "These projections go to 200, 300 percent, and even higher of debt held by the public as a percent of gross domestic product," said Dodaro. "We're going to owe more than our entire economy is producing and by definition this is not sustainable."
Additionally, the audit found fault with the number of improper payments that should not have been made or were the incorrect amount. The audit found that in fiscal year 2015 there were $136.7 billion improper payments, which was up by $12 billion from the year prior.

It could easily have been a bureaucratic nightmare that failed at the first hurdle. The dilemma was how do you bring together the NHS, local government, education and sports centres to deliver a school-based health project that the students would be happy to use?
The answer, according to Michelle Howard, director of business development at Rivington and Blackrod high school in Lancashire, was to be committed to the vision and have the confidence and trust in each other to share information and best practice.
"We worked with all our partners to ensure that all our procedures and practices worked well together," she says. "We learned so much more about each other and how we could best use our skills, resources and specialisms to deliver the best outcomes for us all. It was also about sharing that responsibility."
The teenage health project at Rivington and Blackrod high school and the Active Health scheme at its linked federated school, Ladybridge high school, has gone from strength to strength since it was first established in 2007.
The intention, following wide consultation with parents, young people, the local community and public services, was to create a student-friendly accessible health and wellbeing service offering advice, guidance and information on the school site. "It started out when we were looking at Every Child Matters, which was on everybody's minds at the time," says Howard. "It was about looking at what we could do to help young people stay healthy and safe."
A steering party was set up, which included representatives from parents, pupils, schools, the local authority and leisure providers to design and develop the project, which had £450,000 of Big Lottery Fund money.
Today more than 3,000 young people have made use of the project, which offers them a range of advice and information including healthy eating, sexual health and contraception and drug and alcohol awareness.
Support for emotional wellbeing and advice about how to cope with stress is also offered by the project, which is run by school nurses alongside a project co-ordinator who can refer students to different services as required. "There isn't one aspect of health that we shy away from," says Howard.
School students have also been trained as "health ambassadors" – taking the healthy message to their classmates by holding theme-led assemblies and teaching them how to carry out CPR and other lifesaving first aid skills.
At the same time, 13 members of staff have learned about healthy eating and nutrition and are now passing on their knowledge to students across the school.
The project, says Howard, has generally improved the students' physical and emotional health. But there have been more tangible results: the behaviour of 81% of children who attended its anger management programme has improved; the local teenage pregnancy rate has started to fall and 87% of children who received counselling said they were feeling better.
Howard attributes the success of the project to the depth of the relationships between the different partners. She says: "It's about trust and acknowledging that 'I am really good at this' and saying 'how can we work together to get the best outcomes?'. We also had a very strong vision, which we all focused on and never lost sight of."

- Before the review, please follow the weekly blogger HarleyQuinn HERE
Hey everyone, Gameguy here with another weekend review. I've been working on playing lots of games that i've missed out on lately, and one of my most desired was Okami for the ps2. It's a long beast so it took me a while, but i just finished it and am happy to give you my opinion. Hope you enjoy.
Okami Review
I won't mince words here. Okami is quite simply one of the most extraordinary games I have ever played. It's unlike any other experience on the Playstation 2, but like everything it is not pure perfection. This is one of those games that some will adore, and others may simply not understand the appeal. It weaves an incredicle tale with a very unique essence that's thanks in part to it's very fascinating characters. The only problem, this work of art doesn't always flow perfectly with it's control. Nevertheless, I present to you my perspective, and hopefully a review that will help undecided players.
Let's not beat around the bush. As I'm sure many know from past reviews, and analysis, Okami bears a striking resemblance to the Zelda series. The basic formula is generally the same. You venture around a massive world, toppling dungeons and collecting items that then progress you further through the story.
When I first started the adventure, I didn't know what to expect. You play as Ameteratsu, a reincarnated sun goddess of the famous white wolf Shiranui. 100 years prior to the game, a village falls prey to a ritual by the dreaded Orochi, an 8 headed serpent. The ritual states that every year on the day of a full moon, one maiden of the village shall be chosen as a sacrifice for the great Orochi to feed on. Thanks to Shiranui and the chosen one known as Nagi, Orochi is defeated once and for all………..or so it seems. Fastforward 100 years in the future, with Ameteratsu as the new Shiranui and a tiny sprite named Issun who serves as the games Navi. Their job is to save the world of Nippon from Orochi's darkness and reignite Ammy's godhood by reacquiring the power of the celestial brush techniques.
If it sounds simple, it's because it is. Nothing will ever confuse you. Okami has a lighthearted story filled with everything that makes a story great. Engaging characters, a compelling sense of emotion, and even a touch of humor. The story is based on the Shinto legends of Japanese mythology. It's lovable, engaging and has more then enough charm to keep you playing for hours. That's good too because the game is at least 40 hours. I found myself so enthralled by the unique story, and I have to say it strengthened my interest for this japanese mythology. You don't always see the hero triumphing over evil by getting the antagonist drunk. If that sounds intriguing then rest assured, the fun doesn't end there. To say more would spoil this fantastic story though.
Now for those that hunger for plot twists, you'll find plenty. Unfortunately, all of the plot twists of the game are very easy to predict. Still, it's the lovable characters and fun story elements that make this an incredible tale to follow.
Now surprisingly, it's a tale of not only wonder, but also tragedy. Not to spoil anything, but the game is actually devided into 3 different story arcs. Each of the arcs are nothing like the other, and the conclusion of each become very emotional by the end. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the moments made people cry. It's that satisfying. The game gets absolutely incredible in the final story arc with moments that are easily deserving of the title "epic" What's even more surprising is that it's a very intimate adventure. You're playing as a god that's trying to make a difference in the world and that's exactly what it feels like. Not in the way you might expect. Ameteratsu isn't so much repairing the land of Nippon as she is touching the inhabitants hearts who live in it. Not every character is lovable though. For example, you may grow tired of Issun's constant attitude towards woman. Overall though, I was touched by this simple story. It's lighthearted, it's simple, but boy does it work
Lovable characters.
Bear in mind, I will be making a ton of comparisons to Zelda, but not in the way you might think. It's not often you have two such similar games to compare, but here it will definitely help lay out the portrait that Okami has attempted, and succeeded to paint……literarly. But to say that Okami is merely a Zelda knockoff would be doing it a great unjustice. Sure, Okami bears an incredible number of resemblances to Nintendo's series, but the game still manages to stand out not only compared to Zelda, but stand out it in it's own genre. Believe it or not, Okami actually succeeds at what many adventure games like Zelda have attempted to do. Let's not talk about the major draw of the game yet that is the graphics. One of Okamis most impressive merits is actually it's sheer scope. The game takes place in an incredibly large huge world known as Nippon. The world is made up of many different areas, with one major field connecting them all. The world of Okami is a staggering sight. Not only is it brought together with a spectacular art style, but every nook and cranny of the world is filled with life. There's something to do around every corner. This is not Hyrule from Twilight Princess. No, this is a land with unique, and interesting characters. Every character in the game has their own distinct personality, and once again offer a lot of humor to the main story and sub stories. If you choose to venture off from the main plot for a while, you won't have to venture far to find an engaging quest. It's worth it alone just to meet a new character and get a few laughs. The terrain of the land is so beautifully rendered. No doubt you will stop every once and a while and find yourself panning the camera to look upon the vast beauty of Nippon. I was so impressed by how full of life the land of Okami is. No area looks the same and for those wishing for variety, you'll find it in spades. Grassy fields, large oceans, snowy mountains, you will find it all.
This is no Hyrule. It's even better.
To put it simply, I was blown away. The world wouldn't even have to be so elaborate thanks to the amazing visual style that makes it so vibrant and beautiful. Okami is actually one of those games that looks and sounds better and better the more you play. Because of this, I kept becoming progressively immersed and it didn't take long before exploring the overworld became my favorite aspect of the game. I've never had that happen. Usually I play a game for a story, or for the fun factor. This was the first time I was put in such an amazing setting, that I had to keep playing to discover more. Thanks to the lively characters, beautiful locales, and hundreds of activities in your midst, it's the deepest adventure world I have ever seen this side of Termina.
But sometimes the beauty of the game doesn't always delude you into thinking it's perfection. While Okami looks and feels beautiful, it doesn't always play so smoothly. For example, the game actually features a surprising amount of platforming segments. I don't know what it is, but despite being a god, Ammy doesn't always make these jumps so easily. It feels like she should gain much more distance with each jump she makes and it can actually lead you to believing you're going to make a jump, only to miss it by a lot. Throughout my playthrough I found that I fell to my death, far more then I died in the game due to conventional means. In fact, I didn't die once which brings me to my next point.
Trust me, judging by my scores, I was probably not the best Okami player when it comes to combat. I'm sure anyone could play through the game without dying once simply because Okami is not a hard game in the slightest. The great thing about it though is that Okami is not a game that has to be. You won't be playing this game for the challenge. You will play to enjoy the story, and immerse yourself in it's beauty. Because of this, the difficulty doesn't really hurt it.
It works well enough.
When comparing this game to Zelda, you may notice one major difference in the games play style that is not present in Nintendo's series. I'm talking about the basic formula of your adventure. In Zelda, you basically know what to expect. Discover a new land>Do some quests>explore a dungeon and defeat the dungeons boss>rinse and repeat. In Okami, the formula isn't nearly as apparent and it is shaken up from time to time. Yes, there are dungeons, but you don't know when to expect them. A dungeon can be followed instantly by another dungeon, or you can go hours and hours without even traversing one, and instead venture in the over world. It' such a breath of fresh air for fans of the Zelda series. It makes adventuring in Nippon far more unexpected. It feels like an adventure in Okami and less like a to-do list like in most Zelda's. This isn't so much a knock towards Zelda, as it is a a hat's off to Okami.
Combat in Okami is nothing special, but there's nothing wrong with it. It's surprising that fighting enemies in the game isn't so addicting given all of it's variety. You can simply slash away at the many opponents in the game, or use the celestial brush techniques to do your bidding. You also have many items at your disposal that both buff Ammy, and damage enemies. While combat can be fun, and receiving a score at the end of each match is a treat, you won't find yourself running into the random encounters on purpose.
Like i said, you can also use the brush. In order to make it anywhere in the world of Nippon, Ammy must gain the powers of the celestial brush, a magical paintbrush that paints objects on paper that then manifest in real life. It also manipulates elements around you to progress further. The techniques don't always work which can lead to frustration in the heat of battle, but it doesn't come close to being a negative feature. The brush techniques are fun to execute and satisfying to pull off. It's truly amazing how the more you play the game, the more second-nature the use of the brush becomes. It's another testament to how immerssive the game is.
But there is a shining star in the action front. Despite it's faults in gameplay, there is one aspect about playing Okami that anyone is sure to fall in love with. I'm talking about massive boss battles that are just incredible to experience. The bosses are so fun that I had to instantly add one to my list of best boss battles. You will never do the same thing to take out each boss. They all contain a unique weakness that you must then exploit with the power of the celestial brush. Again, it's just like Zelda. You figure out the strategy, and then repeat. Okami's bosses trump almost all of Zelda's however. These titans are quick and make every battle feel like an event. Just like Zelda, most are easy to beat, but just so entertaining. The only problem is that there are not nearly as many as you hope.
The dungeons in the game represent a lot of the gameplay frustrations. Tasks just don't always work perfectly, but luckily you'll successfully pull it off before it enters the realm of rage-quit. The puzzles are a tad disappointing. Don't expect anything on the quality of Zelda's bests until about the second last dungeon and even then it will take no more then 10 minutes to figure it out. For those that thrive on puzzles In adventure games, you won't find that in Okami. What you will find in each dungeon is a nice use of variety, and the aforementioned incredibly fun boss battles.
And finally i must speak of the games biggest detriment. Like i said, the world of Okami is brillaint, but it doesn't flow as seemlessly as it could. This is thanks to the very annoying load times. Exiting every area, or engaging in any cutscene will trigger a load time. It feels so abrupt at times, and can really hurt the game's rhythm. Thankfully even though you're waiting for sometimes up to 10 seconds with every transition, each load time is actually a tiny little mini game that does a good job to keep you somewhat engaged.
Gameplay is not exactly where Okami prospers. What works, works incredibly well, but for those that are easily frustrated, they may want to keep a level head when playing this game. Still, with a refreshing formula, fun boss fights, and the fact that the most vital aspect of the game, the celestial brush, works keeps this from being a bust.
Graphics and Music
Do I really need to say it? Just gaze upon any of these screenshots and you can instantly tell that Okami's art style is like nothing else. Set in a world inspired by Japanese water color paintings, Okami's visuals are nothing short of pure beauty. The whole game looks like a painting with a very unique papery filter on the screen. I would have liked if it was a bit more vibrant but that is nothing but nitpicking. Every element of the game like fire, water, and snow look more miraculous then just about every one of their equivalents in other videogames. I've never seen a more beautiful art style since Wind Waker and dare I say it, it may actually be even prettier. I dare anyone to play this game and not stop their journey once to gape in this worlds awe-inspiring beauty. I have to say the music also grew on me. This is a tough one to tackle. Some are going to love the music, while others will just find it a nice addition on the side. If you're into those relaxing classical Japanese works, then you will feel right at home.
The music really grew on me. At first I found it to be too mellow, but the more I played, the more important it felt to the game. While it's not a major contributor to the game's emotional drive, it certainly get's the job done.
Honestly, I was completely blown away by this game. I have rarely travelled around in such an elaborate and compelling world in video games. Okami is nothing short of pure beauty in ever sense of the word. It looks pretty, tells a satisfying tale, and honestly, the Zelda series could learn a few things from it. I never thought this would happen, but it has since become one of my new favorite games. It's unlike anything else. Sure, the gameplay is not exactly perfect, but despite the games few faults, it's an incredible experience. I recommend it to anyone. The positives of the game far outweigh it's few frustrations
Final Rating: 9.2/10
Thanks for reading!

Study objective: To assess the relevance of sputum production to pulmonary function, in particular, persistent obstruction in patients with a primary clinical diagnosis of asthma.
Design: Cross-sectional study of all patients currently followed up in secondary care in a defined locality.
Setting: National Health Service and private clinics in north-east England.
Patients: All attenders, aged 18 years or older, with asthma, confirmed by reversibility of peak expiratory flow (PEF) by ≥15% and to ≥200 L/min.
Interventions: Pro forma history. Pulmonary function at attendance. Assessment of best function according to protocol. Measurement of actual FEV1 FVC, and PEF at attendance.
Measurements and results: We studied 772 subjects; 387 (50%) were male; mean age was 55 years; atopic, 51%; current smokers, 11.5%; ex-smokers, 36%; and never smokers, 52.5%. Best pulmonary function was lower in chronic sputum producers (PEF, 83.2 vs 95.8; FVC, 67.9 vs 81.7% predicted). Chronic sputum production and its negative relationship with best function was strongly associated with smoking. There was little relationship between chronic sputum and persistent obstruction in nonsmokers. There were no univariate associations between sputum during attacks, or its color, and pulmonary function, but after allowing for demographic factors, including smoking, green sputum was associated with persistent obstruction. There was little relationship between sputum and actual/best function at attendance.
Conclusions: Chronic sputum production is associated with persistent obstruction principally in those who have smoked, suggesting that the association reflects smoking rather than asthma. There is no interaction with atopy. After allowance for cigarette smoking, there is an association between green sputum production during exacerbations and persistent obstruction. Green sputum during relapse in asthma may indicate inflammation that is relevant to prognosis.

Estimating the matrixp-norm

The Hölderp-norm of anm×n matrix has no explicit representation unlessp=1,2 or ∞. It is shown here that thep-norm can be estimated reliably inO(mn) operations. A generalization of the power method is used, with a starting vector determined by a technique with a condition estimation flavour. The algorithm nearly always computes ap-norm estimate correct to the specified accuracy, and the estimate is always within a factorn1−1/p of ‖A‖p. As a by-product, a new way is obtained to estimate the 2-norm of a rectangular matrix; this method is more general and produces better estimates in practice than a similar technique of Cline, Conn and Van Loan.

Most websites provide different user interfaces for tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices. Did you know that you could access the mobile versions of your favorite websites using your desktop browser? Whether you're curious to see the mobile versions or you are testing mobile websites, it is really easy to access them using your desktop browser. So, Let's see how to open mobile versions of websites using your desktop browser.
How does it work?
What we basically have to do is change the browser's user agent. User agent is something that tells a website about the browser, OS and device you are using to access that website. By changing the user agent, we are tricking the website into believing that we are using a different browser, OS and device than what we're actually using. This makes the website serve us the version that suits our fake identity.
Now, wondering how to change the browser's user agent? You can do this manually or install a browser extension to make it easier. We'll go by the browser extension route here.
User Agent Switcher Extensions for desktop browsers
Considering the ease of use, it is better to install a browser extension because it's less technical and helps you change the user agent in one click.
If you are using Google chrome, follow the link to get User-Agent Switcher for Chrome or if you are a Mozilla firefox user, get this User Agent Switcher for Firefox.
Install and activate the user agent switcher extension and restart your browser.
How to Set a Mobile User Agent
To change the user agent of your browser, click on the User Agent Switcher extension's icon which you can find on the browser's toolbar. From the list that it displays, select a mobile user agent.
That's it, you can now visit any website to access its mobile version from your desktop browser.
From now on, every website you visit will serve you its mobile version as long as you have your user agent set to mobile. When you want to go back to visiting desktop versions of sites, just click on the User Agent switcher icon again and select 'default user agent'. The method is almost similar in most user agent switching extensions and it's really simple as you know by now.
(If you are using firefox, you may have to manually drag and drop the user agent switcher's icon to the toolbar. To do this, click on the menu icon on toolbar and select customize. Simply drag and drop the user agent switcher's icon where you like it to be.)
How to get more User Agents
Not all user agent switcher extensions come with a big list of user agents. But worry not, you can always download more user agents right from the options provided by the user agent switcher extension. You can also enter a user agent string manually in your user agent switcher. A quick google search will get you the user agent strings for any device you want.
If you are curious to see what a user agent string looks like, here is the user agent for a Nexus 7 with android 4.3 and chrome browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.3; Nexus 7 Build/JWR66Y) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.72 Safari/537.36
Changing the user agent can come very handy. Especially if you are a web designer who wants to test mobile versions of websites without leaving your desktop screen. It can also be helpful if you want to browse faster on a dead-slow internet connection. Mobile versions of websites tend to load faster than their desktop versions. Anyway, it's good to have a user agent switcher installed on your desktop browser.

Q: I graduated last year and, after hundreds of applications, I've got a job in a small research lab. I'll start on the basic wage but I'm pleased to finally have a job in my area of expertise. I won't earn enough to start paying off my student loan for a while but I have the chance to join the company pension scheme. The employer will make contributions, as well as me paying in 3 per cent of my salary. I know it makes sense to save for the future but I have so many other priorities like my debts, finding a place to live and paying the bills. My dad wants me to join and says "you're never too young to save for retirement". I feel I'm too young to worry about it for a while yet. What should I do?
A: You are both right. If you can make the figures add up you'll be grateful to your dad in 50 years' time as you will have a decent income on which to live after you stop working.
The state pension is small and difficult to live on for current pensioners and it's not likely to improve over the years as people live longer. The bigger the pension fund you build up for yourself the more comfortable you will be in retirement.
Having said all that, I see your dilemma. You have other, more immediate priorities such as paying your rent and saving for a house deposit. For now, work out a realistic budget based on your income and outgoings. If the figures show that you really can't afford 3 per cent of your starting salary see if you can put something aside.
No matter how small the figure is it gets you into the habit of saving every month. Explain to your employer the reason you can't afford to sign up to the pension scheme. He or she might even be willing to match the figure you can put into savings. When you get salary increases try to put some of the extra money aside too and eventually you'll reach the 3 per cent target at which it can go into the pension scheme. And as your wages go up throughout your working life add a bit more to the pension pot to make up for lost time.
Q: At the end of last year my husband-to-be and I booked our wedding for August 2012 and we also booked up our honeymoon through Virgin Holidays. We were asked for a deposit of £350 but we also paid another £650 off the total bill at the same time.
A few weeks later we got the terrible news that my mother has terminal cancer. We were advised by her doctors to bring our wedding forward to April so that we could be sure she would be there. The wedding has been rebooked for 28 April. I have written to Virgin and told them what's happened.
I asked for a refund of the money we had paid and explained that we want to take the holiday at a later date but not this year due to the circumstances. As you will see from the letters I've sent you, we have been offered vouchers to the value of the £350 compulsory deposit.
But they have not made any reference in the letters to the remaining £650 of the £1,000 we paid upfront – although they have told us they will not return this money as it is needed to pay for non-Virgin internal flights included in the holiday.
We have every intention of rebooking the exact same holiday in the future, but we won't book with Virgin again if we can't get this money back.
I know we haven't got a legal leg to stand on, we signed a contract and they are holding us to it. But it's so ironic because every single small supplier (who probably really needed our business) that we paid for the original wedding date – such as the venue and caterer – gave us all our money back without question when we explained our situation. Is there anything we can do?
A: I am glad to say that all of this got sorted out in time for your wedding. When I contacted Virgin Holidays it immediately took action and I know you had a call two days before your big day offering you vouchers to the full value of the amount you paid against your holiday that you can use at any time over the next four years.
I know this was a great relief to you both, that you are very happy with the outcome and happy to rebook with Virgin when the time comes.
Virgin has been very helpful in this situation. As you said, you'd signed a contract. By cancelling your holiday you are in breach of it and under the terms and conditions of the booking you weren't entitled to that money back.
When you rebook your holiday – which will cost quite a lot more than you've already paid as a deposit – check the circumstances in which you would be entitled to cancel without losing your money and think about an additional insurance policy to cover you in the event that something else goes wrong. Then you will have some peace of mind in which to enjoy the trip.

How the Kalahari bushmen and other tribespeople are being evicted to make way for 'wilderness'
'Racist' governments are forcing native people from their land, supposedly to benefit wildlife and environment, according to a report.
When Botswana's president, Ian Khama, opened a giant $4.9bn diamond mine in the heart of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in September, there were some notable absentees among the invited guests: the 700 bushmen whose hunter-gatherer families had been the traditional inhabitants of the desert, but who have been exiled to impoverished settlements on the edge of the park and are forbidden to hunt the wildlife.

Hi. You may be suffering from early onset androgenetic alopecia. Does your father or brother or maternal uncles have balding? This could genetically predispose you to balding. Further environmental factors , pollution, stress, junk food and poor diet could cause you to lose hair further. You'll probably need treatment with hair care lotions or serums - something that has vasodilator properties and improves thickness of hair and reduces hair loss. Have a good balanced nutritious diet. Your hair density can be restored if you take timely treatment and care of your hair.See a dermatologist near you. Hope this helps. Further queries may be sent on follow up messaging. Warm regards.

It doesn't seem to happen with safari, but I have had users complain it happens with IE. I have noticed it on this forum as well as my own - but is not 100% reproducible all the time.

MALAGA midfielder Joaquin Perez Rufete is wanted by Paris Saint Germain to lead their midfield next season, according to French newspaper France Soir.
24-year-old Rufete, has emerged as the latest Malaga based target for the French side, with coach Luis Fernandez also keen on Joaquim Agostinho.
It has been reported that any move for Rufete would depend on the Paris side's success in landing Javier Zanetti from Internazionale.
Ex-Barcelona player Rufete has performed admirable in the past two campaigns, with his form earning him a call up to Jose Camacho's Spanish national squad.

With the innovation newer cartridges, is the 30-30 Winchester obsolete? This question arises from comments on a youtube video I made about stockpiling ammo.
A John Rambo commented
It's super popular because it's been around since 1895. It makes a good youth deer rifle.
I've had to help a lot of people track wounded deers that they had hit with a 30-30. A 270 or 30-06 drops them rather quickly. I usually use a lever action Marlin 44mag a lot also.
I respectfully disagree. I have seen first hand time and time again what the 30-30 Winchester does to whitetail deer.

In addition, there is a ceiling fan and an entire wall of newer windows with natural wood trim and a door leading to a large fabulous Rear Deck. The outdoor space is wonderful for entertaining and also for enjoying the serenity ? it's very private and peaceful! The plentiful newer windows throughout the home and especially in the main living space bring the outdoors inside giving it a very natural, bright and open feel! The remainder of the first floor includes a Hall Bath with newer vanity and ceramic bathtub and 3 spacious Bedrooms all with good closet space. The Master Bedroom is extremely large with a large walk-in closet and has its own updated Bathroom with a newer vanity and a large sunken shower with ceramic tile. The shower is unique to the home and quite wonderful! Two of the 3 Bedrooms (including the Master) have ceiling fans as well. At the end of the corridor with bedrooms on each side are stairs to the finished Basement. The Basement is another FABULOUS space! It has lovely neutral carpeting and makes for a wonderful Family Room, hangout space or sleeping quarters! Laundry and Utilities are also on this level. And, there is a door leading to a 2nd driveway (Wallingford Ave) for easy access. The Deck is truly wonderful for dining outdoors or just enjoying the surroundings! And, the 2nd Deck and Screened-In Sun Porch are also fabulous spaces to take advantage of the wonderful grounds! There is a fully fenced in backyard plus an electric fence with collars available from the current owner. Finally, the two driveways are especially nice ? for extra parking and easy access! The location is also extremely convenient - 1 mile from downtown Media!

No one actually expected this to happen.Ahlam, part of Arab Idol jury, welcomed Wael Kfoury to Arab Idol through her social media accounts and she shared this photo below on Instagram to show her happiness and joy about what happened. So, Wael Kfroury will join Ahlam, Nancy Ajram and Hassan Al-Shafei leaving no way back for Ragheb Alama to settle with MBC and return to Arab Idol jury. Share: Share URL: Read Also Opinions & Comments 2 - (Guest)I agree with you Ruba, Ahlam proved over the last 3 episodes of Arab Idol that she doesn't value colleagues especially an experience singer such as Rahgib. She consistently makes inappropriate comments during the program and behaves in away that doesn't show any professionalism. Losing Ragheb is certainly a big loss to the program and it'll never be the same.Friday, 31 October 2014, 4:23 am1 - Ragheb and Wael are both lovedRuba khabazI love both Ragheb and Wael but what I can't understand is how can a star like Ahlam be the reason of Ragheb's departure from Arab Idol. It is a pity of how MBC listen to her. How can Ahlam afford the disgust and the hatred of Raghebs' fans. She is responsible for his departure and this proves there is no professionalism in any of international programs. I LOVE Wael Kfoury big timeeeeeeeeeeeee and so I love Ragheb but I am really disgusted and feel that Ahlam is nothing but a spoiled star.Tuesday, 15 April 2014, 3:50 am Published comments do not reflect the opinion of Rinnoo.net website but the opinion of the commenter, and the website does not bear any legal responsibility for any comment.

China has 596 billionaires---up 242 in the past year—to overtake for the first time the United States, which has 537.
The United States has lost bragging rights as to which country is home to the most billionaires.
According to the Huran Rich List 2015, a ranking of the richest individuals of China and India, China has 596 billionaires---up 242 in the past year—to overtake for the first time the United States, which has 537. The List grew at an unprecedented pace, the report states, with an additional 606 individuals for a total of 1877
China, the report states, has been minting five billionaires a week in the past 12 months. Adding in the billionaires from Hong Kong. Yaiwan and Macao, Greater China entrepreneurs number 716.
The list is a snapshot of August 14, the same date as last year's rankings, but the beginning of that country's market slowdown that triggered an historic selloff on August 24, "It's unclear how much wealth was destroyed during the remainder of August and September," noted Robert Frank, writing for CNBC. "At the time of the list's cutoff, stock markets were already 30 percent off their June peak, but have dropped another 14 percent since."
Robert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report Chairman and Chief Researcher said in a statement, "Despite the slowdown in the economy, China's richest have defied gravity, recording their best year ever, and creating more wealth than any country has ever done before in a year."
Who are China's top 10 billionaires? Their average age is 53. Three are 45 and under, including 29-year old roadbuilder Yan Hao. Five made their money from real estate, three more than last year; while four are tycoons, one less than in 2014. Technology was the fastest-growing source of wealth among China's 10 wealthiest billionaires.
Almost all of China's wealthiest individuals (95 percent) count themselves as self-made."China is now officially the most exciting country in the world for entrepreneurship," Hoogewerf stated.
The Hurun Rich List 2015 Top 10 are:
1. Wang Jianlin ($34.4 billion)
2. Jacvk Ma Yun ($22.7 billion)
3. Zong Qinghou ($21.1 billion)
4. Pony Ma Huateng (18.8 billion)
5. Lei Jun ($14.4 billion)
6. Yan Hao ($14.2 billion)
7. Li Yanhong and Ma Dongmin ($13.3 billion)
8. Lu Zhinqiang ($13 billion)
9. Zhang Jindong ($12.7 billion)
10. Lu Guanqiu ($10.2 billion)
Compared with the world's billionaires as ranked this year by Forbes' magazine, Jianlin would rank 16th, just below Jeff Bezos ($34.8 billion) and just above Mark Zuckerberg ($33.4 billion).

Question about Technics SA-AX540 Receiver
Posted by slivr on
SOURCE: technics SA-DX950
when turn on receiver , after few seconds got message
F70. when wants to do any operation with receiver got message SWITCH POWER OFF
Posted on Sep 24, 2008
SOURCE: I have a Technics SA-AX610 receiver that says overload .
From the manual pg 27....... "The protection circuitry has functioned because the positive and negative speaker connection wires are "shorted," speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of this unit are used or under severe use, such as loud volume, excessive power and in an excessively hot environment."
Posted on Jan 17, 2009
SOURCE: Technics SA-DX950 intermitently sounds blown out
There are poor solder connections at the output amp pacs and the voltage regulators. Once these are resoldered the problem should go away. If you can solder, resolder any connections that appear grainy or have rings. If you can not, this should be effectively a labor only repair for any shop that works on audio gear.
Posted on Feb 18, 2009
SOURCE: Technics sa 400 Receiver
Checked fuses then sprayed contact cleaner on the fuses and the fuse holders. The speakers began to work correctly.
Posted on May 29, 2009
SOURCE: Max. wattage for speakers w/ Technics Receiver SA-GX100?
I too have a Technics SA-GX100 and it's rated at 2 x 40W @ 8 Ohms. I have the Technics SB-2840 floor model speakers hooked to it, which are rated at 200W Music Input - 8 ohms. It sounds very nice just to be a 40W receiver.

1985 Cadillac Eldorado
PROS: Classic styling, comfortable seats, roomy, advanced technology for the time
CONS: So-so acceleration, uninspiring road manners, stock stereo lacking, 4.1L engine worries
My 1985 Cadillac Eldorado was the first car I ever owned. I bought it around 2000 with less than 60,000 miles on the odometer. My dad took me down to Bellevue Cadillac and negotiated the price down to $3,500 (a huge sum of money for me at the time). I paid for most of it out of pocket, but my parents helped me out as a graduation gift if I recall correctly.
I had long before had an affinity for the Cadillac brand. I have no idea why this is. Since I was very young, I have always seen a Cadillac as a sign of one who made it. I loved the flamboyant tailfins of the 50s models, as well as the trademark vertical taillights that adorned the vehicles since the 60s. The vertical taillights may well have been what I found interesting about Cadillac; they instantly identified the vehicle as Standard of the World.
The first thing I remember about the Eldorado was how incredibly long the hood seemed; it appeared to stretch forever from the hood ornament to where the windshield began. It was a dark shade of blue accented with a white vinyl top complete with opera lights. The interior was blue leather, and the seats were the kind of overstuffed soft upholstery that you cant find in cars anymore. The seats were extremely comfortable, but also extremely ill-suited for any sort of competitive driving; side bolstering was non-existent. At first glance, the car seemed perfect. Not that it was without its flaws. The paint, though significantly well-preserved, had several rock chips near the trunk, at the remnants of the tail-fins from an earlier decade. The stereo had no input for cassettes or compact disks. But at the time none of that mattered, because I had a car of my own that I loved.
The Eldorado had a computer onboard which could calculate the instant and average miles per gallon and fuel used. Though this is commonplace in most of todays cars (even entry-level stuff), it was groundbreaking in its time. It also had a digital speedometer and fuel gauge; everything else was covered by idiot lights, which I have since grown to loathe. It didnt come with any of the luxury features we see today, such as navigation, parking aids, or heated seats.
The first thing I did to the car was replace the stereo with a CD unit from Car Toys. The stereo would serve me well for the remainder of the cars life. Throughout its time, this was the only major modification it ever received. About a year and a half into owning, the drivers side door wouldnt open from the inside. Instead of fixing the problem, I opted to open the window and open the door from the outside every time I drove the car.
Once, while cruising around the Kirkland waterfront, I was rear-ended by some kid in a Volkswagen Passat. This was the first accident I was ever involved in; the sound of metal crunching was horrific. Some of his paint rubbed off on my chrome bumper, which I buffed out with a $3.25 bottle of chrome polish. That was the extent of the damage done to my ride. His bumper was completely bashed in. Since that incident, I had been rear-ended twice more, though neither incident did enough damage to report to insurance.
Honestly, I drove the car to hell and back while treating it like crap. I rarely changed the oil. I dont think it ever received service at the 30,000 mile intervals. The master cylinder failed once while going down the steep Inglewood Hill Road, causing the brakes to nearly fail, which was extremely scary. I figured I would hit the car ahead of me, but ended up stopping just in time. While driving the car in late 2003 on the freeway, the transmission refused to downshift and I could barely hit sixty miles per hour. Then, in early 2004, the engine began to overheat frequently. On its final trip to the mechanic, it barely made it. The engine was cracked and the only repair would be to rebuild the engine, which was quoted as much more than the resale value. I decided the Eldorados life was over.
The rest of the Eldorados life was confined to the street outside my house. It was eventually replaced by the 1993 Ford Thunderbird which I own to this day. I was going to Bellevue Community College at the time and needed a vehicle to get back and forth. Our mechanic (the same one who had worked on the Eldorado since I owned it - my dads been a customer for years) just happened to be selling. The Thunderbird had high miles, but a recently rebuilt engine. My dad and I figured since in was mechanic owned it was probably well-maintained and wouldnt pose too many problems.
I came extremely close to replacing the Eldorado with a 1993 Sedan Deville in impeccable condition. The white car was for sale at a small lot on Aurora Avenue, and my dad, uncle, and I went and took it for a test drive. The car was nearly perfect, however, the overdrive would not engage! Ergo, I did not buy. We told the place about it and they promised they would take care of it. The day after buying the Thunderbird, we received a call from the dealership informing us that they had fixed the transmission. But it was too late. If the call had been a day earlier, events may have unfolded much differently.
Would I buy another one? Not at this stage in my life, unless I could find an exceptionally well-kept convertible example. Some guy around my neighborhood dives one occasionally. It looks just like mine only with a soft-top. But even that would be for collector interest only; I cant see myself purchasing a car pushing twenty-five years of age as a daily driver. But the Eldorado was a good car for that particular time of my life: it was relatively spry but underpowered enough so I didnt get into any trouble, it was durable enough that it posed few mechanical problems during its life, and it had clean styling that I admired. Overall, however, I remember a quip I made to one of my coworkers, I bought it for vertical taillights and the power antenna.
Re: 1985 Cadillac Eldorado
Great review! I enjoyed reading that.

Toxic algae cancels kayak section of Wick Wolf Triathlon
Toxic blue green algae in a loch has forced organisers of a triathlon to cancel the kayak section of the event.
Highland Council warned last month that the water of Lochindorb, near Grantown-on-Spey, had been affected.
Some forms of the algae can cause skin rashes, eye irritations, vomiting and diarrhoea, fever and pains in muscles and joints.
The 30K mountain bike and 10K run sections of the Wicked Wolf Triathlon will still go ahead on 21 July.
A 3K has been added as a replacement for the paddle on Lochindorb.
The event is named after the notorious 14th Century lord, Alexander Stewart - known as the Wolf of Badenoch - who had a stronghold on an island in Lochindorb.
Stewart earned notoriety for destroying Elgin Cathedral in 1390.
Event organiser Gemma Powell said it was with regret that the kayak section had been withdrawn.
She said: "We have been monitoring the situation and have taken advice from environmental health officers, hoping that the algae would disperse before our event, but unfortunately it is still present.
"We can't leave it until the last minute to put plan B into action so we are cancelling it now.
"We are doing so for the safety of our competitors and all our helpers on the loch and hope that everyone understands that this is a situation out with our control."
