Captive to the enemy within
Show of the week
Hatufim: Prisoners of War, Saturday, SBS One, 8.30pm
ONE is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that taps into the arresting concept of the enemy within. Its protagonist is a former prisoner of war with an outsize sense of betrayal whose behaviour arouses the suspicions of an unhinged CIA agent.
The other is a measured family drama that digs deep into the mindsets of prisoners of war and the turmoil they and their families face when they return to civilian life. One has recognisable and accomplished stars and production values equal to a big-budget Hollywood movie. The other has less-saleable attractions: tightly written scripts that subtly lead us from one scene to the next; intriguing moral conundrums about loyalty, suspicion and guilt; and emotionally charged depictions of estranged families and the scars of war.
Hatufim, which translates as ''abductees'', is the Israeli drama upon which Homeland, the electrifying US thriller that has just ended its second season, is modelled. Gideon Raff created, wrote and directed Hatufim and is the executive producer of Homeland. As different as the two shows are, the concept from which they sprouted is very much the same.
But it's the expression of that idea that makes watching one in the shadow of the other all the more rich and rewarding.
Australian audiences now have the opportunity to do so with the debut of Hatufim on Saturday. ''For us, Hatufim and Homeland are the best examples of how to make not a good but an excellent adaptation of a series,'' says Ran Telem, who is vice-president of programming at Keshet Broadcasting, the Israeli network where two seasons of Hatufim were developed and became record-breaking successes.
''That's why the showrunners in both countries did such a good job, analysing exactly what's interesting for an American audience in a POW story and what's interesting for an Israeli audience. I think that's the reason the two series are so different, but also so successful. When you look at the Middle East, it's completely different if you look at it from Washington or Tel Aviv.''
The idea of Homeland was hatched after US producers Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon read the scripts of Hatufim, remarkably before a single scene had been filmed. ''They took Hatufim apart and took the engine from Hatufim to Homeland and created a whole new series,'' Telem says.
According to Telem, Raff's starting point was the story of a person coming home after many years. That person became several POWs and the story was anchored to their relationships with their families, their captors and an army psychologist who begins to notice anomalies in their accounts of captivity. As the big picture of what happened to Nimrod (Yoram Toledano), Uri (Ishai Golan) and a third soldier, whose remains only are returned, is slowly pieced together, Hatufim raises the question of how long the men's wives and families should wait.
In Homeland, Jessica (Morena Baccarin) has had an affair but returns to Brody (Damian Lewis) when he is reunited with her and their children. In Hatufim, by contrast, Uri's wife has remarried. Nimrod's wife has become a symbol of the war widow, devoting her life to campaigning for his return.
Before Hatufim, the topic of POWs in Israel was taboo, a ''Pandora's box that you don't open'', Telem says.
When promos for the show aired sporting the provocative line ''The boys are coming home'', Keshet's management was uncomfortable, doubly so as it coincided with the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Though the topic wasn't openly discussed, the research into what happens to returned prisoners was overwhelming. ''Most of them find it hard to come back to the family they had,'' Telem says. ''They break out, get divorced, leave home. These are the bigger questions in Hatufim.''
The second season of Hatufim has just finished airing in Israel (SBS will air it at a date to be confirmed). Telem says it is more high-tension thriller than the psychodrama of the first season.
''Something good that happens when you sell a format is you get re-influenced by people who are doing your show. Some of the elements that were strong in Homeland one made their way into Hatufim season two, and for us we loved it. Will we be influenced by Homeland three; I guess we have to wait and see.''
Despite having modest budgets that require multi-episode series to be filmed ''horizontally'' and in full before they air, Israeli TV is on a roll, with numerous drama and comedy formats in development in the US.
''I think something has changed in Israeli writing because of Hatufim,'' Telem says. ''Hatufim was written by Gideon, who spent many years working in the US. As a psychological drama, it takes you from episode to episode; it has cliffhangers in every scene. It's something we've learnt from American writing and then brought into Israel.
''As I read scripts now, I can see the influence that Hatufim and Homeland have on Israeli drama.''

NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO/ (Reuters) - Google Inc has opened discussions with the National Football League to buy the rights to the "Sunday Ticket" subscription TV service now owned by DirecTV, tech blog AllThingsDigital reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The acquisition, if consummated, would dramatically boost the media efforts of the Internet search company, which is trying to ramp up original programming and earn subscription revenue as opposed to advertising income.
The "Sunday Ticket" service allows NFL fans to watch a wide variety of football games outside of their local markets.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league officials called on Google, Facebook Inc and several other key Silicon Valley companies in recent days, as part of efforts to improve their content, NFL spokesman Alex Reithmiller confirmed on Wednesday. He did not elaborate.
But the tech blog cited sources saying Google CEO Larry Page and YouTube content chief Robert Kyncl specifically discussed acquiring the rights to the popular Sunday Ticket package with Goodell and his delegation.
Google's YouTube last year expanded its stable of original content by promoting and investing in hundreds of dedicated channels, hoping to shed its image as a repository for grainy home videos and to start putting out quality content to boost advertising sales and earn subscription revenue.
The NFL has proven to be a savvy media-rights negotiator in years past, and now controls one of the most lucrative sports-TV operations in the country. News of Google's interest could pile pressure on DirecTV as its lock on the package expires after the 2014 season.
"I've always been pretty skeptical that rights holders of significant events are going to put those events on digital platforms. The leagues love to float the idea that its a possibility because it creates a sense of more competition and accelerates prices," said John Skipper, president of the Walt Disney Co's ESPN sports network.
YouTube's "sites are not built for appointment viewing. You go there to watch archival content. You go there for information to do some task, to search, to do email."
Still, a content tie-up between the popular NFL and Google could have ripple effects throughout the media industry and transform Google into a major destination for sports online viewing, analysts said. It could bolster demand for services that bypass traditional cable, pressure values for some TV and satellite networks, and encourage users to sign up for broadband, Janney Capital Markets analyst Tony Wible said.
DirecTV has sounded upbeat about its chances of renewing the estimated $1 billion-a-year "Sunday Ticket" contract with the league when it expires.
The exclusive package, which allows fans to watch games outside of their home markets, is considered by analysts an important tool for the satellite TV service in efforts to attract new subscribers.
AllThingsD called talks between Google and the NFL "informal" for now.
Neither Google nor DirecTV responded to requests for comment.
Google's addition of "Sunday Ticket" would mark its biggest foray so far into the realm of quality programming and subscription-video services. It could also accelerate "cord cutting," or viewers switching to online-viewing sources from traditional cable channels, analysts said.
However, the NFL could come under significant pressure from holders of its other TV licenses, the traditional TV and broadcast networks, who would seek to discourage a tie-up with an Internet powerhouse like Google.
"If Google were to secure the Sunday Ticket rights, we may have a situation where consumers can start to create a more viable alternative" to a traditional cable plan, analyst Wible said.
He speculated that along with Netflix Inc and Hulu services now available over the Internet, consumers could begin to create a true "a la carte" package in which people select the specific TV services they pay for.
"While we don't know the pricing for any Google product, it is safe to assume this bundle would be far cheaper than a traditional TV package," he said. "These dynamics have the potential to exacerbate cord cutting and may create a vicious cycle as the cost of programming on traditional TV would move higher with each loss of a (subscriber) - increasing the odds that another will cut the cord."

Thank you all so much...

Chemicals/Hazmat - Safety Plans, Videos & Training
We recommend the following OSHA safety plans, videos, and training programs to help make your company compliant with the required OSHA Government standards for dealing with Chemicals and Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) in the workplace.
About Chemicals and Hazmat Safety Training for OSHA and NIOSH Compliance
There have been some major changes in OSHA and in the world of EPA. There are New regulatory changes which became effective starting December of 2013. We now are globally concerned with the identification, and description of chemicals in the market place. thus we have GHS "Globally Harmonized sytems" including new pictograms, and SDS "Safety Data Sheets" Which is a change from MSDS. The new regulations bring into harmony the identification of chemicals across the globe, through universal pictograms instead of simply a national standard which can be different from country to country.
Here are the Completion dates:
December 1, 2013: Employers, Train employees on the new label elements and safety data sheets (SDS) format
June 1, 2015: Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers. Compliance with all modified proviisons of this final rule 29 CFR 1910.1200.
December 1, 2015: The distributor shall not ship containers labeled by the Chemical manufacturer or importer unless it is a GHS Label
June 1, 2016: Employers must update all workplace labeling and hazard communication program as necessary, and provide additional employee training for newly identified physical or health hazards.
The way chemicals are handled hasn't changed, but the way we identify them and catagorize them has changed so your program will need to be updated. The programs presented above all all designed to give not just employers what they need to bring the current program into compliance but also to train their employees.

Fuel Ecomnomy:
I'd trade the last of my pocket change for a few gallons of diesel. But today I've literally got two cents to my name, cheerfully jingling in my pocket. What the hell can you buy for a penny anyway? A whole lot of nothing, that's what. Disgusted, I throw them in the street. Maybe some kid will find them and it'll brighten his day.
This two gallons of diesel will need to last a while. If I'm careful, I can wrest 39 mpg from the 335d. To do that I will need to time stoplights, accelerate smoothly and stay off boost. Driving this way isn't very exciting but it is better than walking, especially in wet SoCal weather.
The 335d is working with me. It knows all my cash is spoken for so it's going to make each drop of fuel count. I love this car for being so understanding. It knows it's capable of much greater things but now is not the time for play. Now is time to buckle down and simply get the job done. We've got two gallons of diesel, man; let's make every drop count.
We've railed on the virtues of diesel for years now. The BMW's 335d could be the poster child of new diesel technology. Here is a car that asks you to give up nothing and yet returns butt-kicking performance, efficiency and comfort. This is an oil-burner capable of charming even the staunchest petrolhead
While the staff is smitten with the 335d, a few have had difficulty locating a diesel-serving station. Some have had to drive a whole half-mile to find fuel even. That's pretty much the extent of the gripe log. The rest of it is punctuated with terms like "monster torque"; "god-like twist"; and "hugely quick." Hard to believe such words would describe a diesel.
We've been especially happy with the sport seats, part of the Sport Package ($2,150). They provide great lateral support with adjustable side wings and "wrap around" the driver. A few of our plus-size friends have mentioned getting prodded by the seat side wings. Larger people might want to avoid these seats as they provide only so much lateral spread.
The 335d illuminates its door grabs for fumble-free night departures. This became especially handy when our parking garage lost power. You can't appreciate true darkness until you're three stories underground. Moreover, the keyless ignition means no more frantic pocket diving for lost keys. Simply touch the door and the car unlocks and is ready to go with an illuminated starter button and interior. Perhaps the only problem with keyless activation is the possibility of leaving the car running. And with a car as quiet as the 335d, that's easier than you'd think.
The iDrive-activated navigation system ($2,100) is a breeze to operate. I even taught my Luddite father-in-law how to use it. I find this interesting, as the first generation of BMW iDrive scared him off the 7 Series. He wound up getting a Mercedes S-Class; why, I still know not. Its COMAND system is more byzantine than BMW's. I suppose it doesn't matter, because he prefers his Dodge work truck anyway.
We've had a few warning messages from the 335d. Both the tire pressure and oil level sensors told us to check levels. Turns out they were correct. We used to simply ignore such things as they were mostly false alarms. Not anymore.
During a recent 500-mile trip, I tapped out in the passenger seat and let the wife drive. In full recline, I nodded off while tunes from the satellite radio drifted over the stereo.
At speed, the twin-turbodiesel engine produces faint, low-frequency vibrations, a kind of trance-inducing white noise. I slept like a baby. I woke to a flashlight in the face and the unmistakable phrase "license and registration please." Lisa was getting a ticket. I pretended to be asleep while the officer did his thing. She was doing 93 mph in a 70-mph zone. A few bats of the eyelashes and her big, white smile reduced it to 79 in a 70 zone. As the cop pulled away, Lisa unleashed a string of profanity that's still resonating through Paso Robles. Apparently, it was the BMW's fault. It's too fast and too quiet and breaches the speed limit way too easy.
"This damn car wants to go 120 mph all the time," she fumed. "It's not my fault... it's the car."
Not exactly a glowing review, but we've heard worse.

Car door open beep when the key is in the ignition. I know the bloody door is open, I opened it to let some air in while parked having lunch and listening to the radio.And get this, I can be doing 100kph down the highway and open the door, no beep.What arseholes think this stuff up?______Rob
How are you able to open your car door at that speed?
At least all my cars only beep loudly once with an open door, it won't keep beeping.
it snowed here today.
@liudr: I am pretty much sure that you can open the door (at least partially) even at 160km/h (100mph). Here in Germany nobody assumes this to be *very* fast. This is just "fast". I find it always amusing when I see car chases in US movies when the needle of the speedometer trembles as it hits the mystic 100mph. When I am commuting at 160km/h I have to take care to avoid cars that are rapidly approaching from behind With regard to the anoying beeps: why does my car beep if the "passenger" (=my laptop bag) is not buckled up? At least it stops after some beeps. The previous one kept beeping for 5 Minutes before it gave up.
If you think you guys have complaints, well, it snowed here today.
I keep my bag on the passenger floor, less gravitational potential. Otherwise I keep a hand on it, too distracting. New cars sold in US should have fuel line automatically cut if driven over 100 mi/h or something. I don't know how hard it is to get a driver's license in Germany. Here in US every nut case can get one.

As fans eagerly await for the Warner Bros. film, Man of Steel to be released, they're now able to download the official app for Windows Phone. Nokia has struck yet another exclusive deal and Man of Steel is currently available on Lumia hardware only. So what's the app all about and should you be interested?
Short answer? Yes, most definitely. If you're not sure exactly what Man of Steel is all about, it's an upcoming film about the DC Comics character Superman. Users are able to enjoy media such as wallpapers, character information and an enjoyable interactive game that puts the player in control of flight. Four chapters with 40 game challenges can be beaten to unlock more than 40 rewards (we'll not spoil it for you).
But that's just the tip of the iceberg as the Man of Steel app for Windows Phone also allows movie fans to locate where the film is being shown in the local area, powered by Nokia's HERE Maps. Those who reside in the US and UK can then purchase tickets to go see the upcoming film. If you're that excited, a countdown timer is present.
Trailers can be viewed from within the app, along with biographies on all the stars featured in the film. The last notable feature of the Man of Steel app is the integration with the camera, offering up the possibility to capture shots of one's favourite background, which can have the Man of Steel "super-imposed" on it for interesting results.
Consumers can share unlocked rewards and photos with friends, utilising the built-in social functionality. Should you be an avid fan or slightly interested in such an app, you can download Man of Steel from the Nokia Collection on the Windows Phone Store for free. Unfortunately, for the time being, the app is only available on Lumia hardware.
via: Nokia Conversations; Thanks, everyone, for the tips!

Please take a look back on my bio. Basically, what if Bella picked up the phone instead of Jacob? Thanks Chareter again for the AWEOSOME banner! xxx
Written with Chareter, pretty pretty pretty please reveiw and tell me if to write the next chapter.
1. The Phone Call
Rating 4/5 Word Count 1022 Review this Chapter
Edward's Pov
If it were her, I would hang up. If it were Charlie, I'd get the information I needed through subterfuge. I'd prove Rosalie's sick little joke wrong, and then go back to my nothingness.
"Hi, this is Bella," answered Bella. Her voice was just as I imagined, perfect, soft. She sounded a little worried, but I didn't let that bother me. I couldn't speak. Even though I said I would hang up - I don't think I'd be able to speak anyway.
"Hello? Anyone there?" she asked, growing slightly annoyed. I couldn't. I wouldn't. But even when I said I didn't, I did.
"Sorry wrong number" I made up a voice, a little deeper than my own. My voice sounded sad; even for me.
"Um… Okay." She sounded slightly confused, and relieved. Did she know who I was? Or was she relieved it wasn't me?
"No wait" I interrupted before she said anything else. It was a little higher than before, more urgent. I couldn't give myself away. A deep sigh in the background, not Bella's. Wait. It sounded like a boys… Could it be Bella had a boyfriend?
"Yes?" growing more impatient now.
"I… it's." My voice cracked; I couldn't - I wouldn't.
"Look, if you don't want anything, you might as well go" Her voice sounded a little annoyed, a little saddened.
"I...um. I was wondering… I mean we're doing a survey." I knew this was cruel but I needed to know who this boy was in Bella's house. "It's about how many people are in their house right now and their relations with each other. Will you please answer the following questions?" This wasn't at all fair but this was my Bella and I knew I wanted her to be happy but I missed her terribly.
"Um… Okay?" she said, making it sound like a question. I heard the wind whooshing as the phone was snatched from her feeble little hands.
"Hey, listen buddy. We're kinda in the middle of something. I hope you understand. Goodbye," he an annoyed deep rough voice. This was mostly likely the boy who sighed in the background.
"Hey. Jacob! Give me the phone back. I was talking–" Bella was abruptly cut off as the phone line went dead. I could only imagine her little face as she tried to grab the phone back from this boy. Her sweet delicate heart-shaped face. The face that haunted my every step, just because it was somewhere else, in the hands of this Jacob person.
Something snapped in place in the back of my very slow-working mind.
Wasn't Jacob the guy whom interrupted mine and Bella's dance last year?
He was at her house???
Suddenly my phone was ringing again. I thought about leaving it but then I glanced upon the number.
"Hello?" I asked eagerly. There was silence on the other end of the phone. I was getting worried.
Why hadn't she answered?
Did she know it was me?
What's happening?
"Edward? Is that you?" asked Bella confused, after a three second silence. I sighed. I'd forgotten she thought I was the survey guy. I deepened my voice.
"Edward? Who's Edward?" I asked.
"Oh. Sorry I must have mistaken you for someone else." Her voice sounded sad and I was about to tell her it was me when she spoke again, more cheerful. "Anyway, um, hi. You rang just a second ago but were rudely interrupted." Her voice got sourer at the end and I could see in my mind her looking over her shoulder to him.
"Hello? You still there?" asked Bella. I'd gotten lost in her voice.
"Oh." My voice was higher again. I cleared my throat. "Yes, er, sorry. Where were we?" I asked.
"The survey," she repeated, being awfully kind. Probably just to annoy Jacob.
"Oh, yes. Sorry. Erm, how many people are in the house right now?" I asked, stilling wanting to know more about him and whether I was right or not.
"Three," she replied.
"Three," I repeated, slowly, as if I was writing it down. This must be Bella, Jacob and Charlie.
"And what relationships do these people have with each other?" I asked, wondering if Bella and Jacob were that close.
"Well, I'm friends with them both, but those two are let's enemies," she said. I heard a low snicker in the background. "One is on a visit, and I wish would stay longer," she said louder, probably wanting someone to heard. I heard a groan in the background.
"Excuse me a second," said Bella.
"Certainly," I allowed. Just one second.
"You know you don't have to commentate in the background you know," I heard Bella say through the phone.
"I know. Its just there's nothing else to do," replied him. Bella groaned.
"Quit it," she said sternly.
"Where were we?" she asked, her voice clearer than before.
"You said one is on a visit. Is she male or female?" I asked, trying to subtly find out if it was Alice or not.
"Female," she replied. I made a reminder to myself to get Alice back for this.
"And this other friend?" I asked, mentally remembering to keep my voice low.
"Male. Pain in the arse. And unfortunately doesn't live that far away," she replied.
"I take it as you are the owner of the house?" I asked, just trying to keep her speaking. I heard some commotion in the background, something smash and a gasp.
"I've got to go," Bella said in a rush.
"Wait," I shouted the phone.
"What?" she asked; beyond annoyed.
"I…" I hesitated.What am I going to tell her?
I heard Bella groan before she put the phone down. She was too annoyed. I blew it; I could of told her then. I would. I would go and visit her. Would I?
That didn't seem fair.
But I had to see her.
My angel.
That lived in Forks.
And I was going to see her.

NHS - Not kept informed
Who is your issue with?
How does Resolver work?
Explains your rights to you
You'll find no legal jargon in our simple, comprehensive consumer rights sections. Our guidance is tailored specifically for every type of issue.
Helps you prepare your emails
We provide a wide range of flexible email templates for you to adapt to your needs – just slot in the specific details for your case, and in a few short clicks your issue will be ready to go.
Creates a case file for you
Your case file is a secure online location for all important documents regarding your issue. You can upload photos, tickets, copies of receipts or external emails from before you raised your issue with Resolver.
Lets you record all your communications
One of the most important aspects of a complicated issue is keeping a record of all your correspondence regarding the complaint – Resolver does this for you automatically.
Lets you know when to escalate your complaint
If you're not satisfied with the initial response from the organisation you have an issue with, our escalation process will let you know when you can raise your complaint to the next level of seniority and, ultimately to an ombudsman or regulator, where appropriate.
You are entitled to be kept informed and be actively involved in your treatment plan. If you are unhappy with the way you are kept informed you should inform the staff at the hospital who should address your concerns.You should know
- The NHS has a constitution which sets out your rights as a patient.
- Most issues can be resolved satisfactorily by complaining to the staff on the ward directly.
- There are time limits within which to make a complaint. The time limit for using the official complaints procedure is 12 months.
- It doesn't cost you anything to complain using the NHS complaints procedure.
- You should seek specialist legal advice in cases where you may have suffered injury or neglect.
- If you are unhappy with the NHS response to your complaint you can escalate your issue to the Parliamentary and Health Service.
The NHS has a constitution which sets out your rights as a patient.
There are time limits within which to make a complaint. The time limit for using the official complaints procedure is 12 months.
The time limits for legal action depend on the sort of legal action you are taking. Check what are the time limits are for each course of action that you're thinking about.
It doesn't cost you anything to complain using the NHS complaints procedure.
If you want to take legal action, you will need the advice of a specialist solicitor, and legal aid isn't available for most cases of clinical negligence or personal injury.
What to do first
Every NHS organisation has a complaints procedure. If you want to complain about an NHS service – such as a hospital, GP or dentist – ask the service for a copy of their complaints procedure, which will explain what you need to do.
You may choose to make a complaint in writing, by email through resolver or by speaking to them using the resolver iPhone or Android Apps .
If you speak to them, they may be able to resolve your concerns without you having to go through the formal complaints process.
This is called a local resolution. It aims to resolve complaints quickly, and most cases are resolved at this stage. However, if you don't feel comfortable raising your concerns directly (or your problem wasn't resolved) and you would still like to make a formal complaint, follow the NHS complaints process.
You may make a complaint to either the organisation that provided your healthcare or the organisation that commissioned that NHS service. The commissioning body will be either the local clinical commissioning group (CCG) for hospital care, or NHS England for GP, dental, pharmacy and optical services.
Time limit for NHS complaints
You should make your complaint as soon as possible. The time limit for a complaint is normally:
- 12 months from the date the event happened, or
- 12 months from the date you first became aware of it
Patient Advice and Liaison Services (PALS)
You can get help and advice from Patient Advice and Liaison Services (PALS), whose officers are available in most hospitals. They offer confidential advice, support and information on health-related matters to patients, their families and their carers.
NHS Complaints Independent Advocacy Service
Individual local authorities have a legal duty to organise independent advocacy services to provide support for people who are making, or thinking of making, a complaint about their NHS care or treatment.
Contact your local PALS, complaints manager or local authority for information about how this service is provided in your area.
Parliamentary & Health Ombudsman
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint you can refer the matter to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, who is independent of the NHS and government. There is no timescale set for escalating a case to the Ombudsman, however, resolver has assumed a timescale of 8 weeks. If your issue cannot be resolved before then and you receive a final response then contact resolver and we can help you escalate your case before the 8 weeks.
Find the best rights for you
We have 5,105 pages of rights advice for you covering 7,566 companies and organisations across 17 public & private sectors. Feel free to browse companies for this specific issue - they're all listed below - but the quickest way to find the best rights for you is by using our unique Rights Finder to access our extensive database of advice.
Start by telling us the name of the company or organisation you have an issue with.

The Cost of Having Nice Things
by Abby Dalton • May 17, 2012 • Tagged: clothing, maintenance, repair  • Comments
May has inadvertently turned into a month of "Getting Things Done." While I would ordinarily begin doing a type of spring cleaning (although let's be real, I'm obsessive compulsive and every week is spring cleaning week in my apartment), the fact that we are being moved out of our apartment (for renovation purposes) has had a compounding effect on the number of spring-related errands I've been running and, as a result, my bank account.
This past weekend, for instance, I had a list to complete. It's finally getting warm up here, so I decided I could take my coats in to be dry-cleaned. My boots won't be worn for another few months, so now is a great moment to take them to a cobbler and repair all the damage I've done as a result of wearing them essentially daily in horrible weather. I have a couple of summery dresses that I'll need for upcoming weddings that fit me not-quite-right in a few areas, and I've been putting off doing anything about them for a while. So boots and coats in hand (and arms and bag), I went off to drop everything in its respective location.
First up, the coats. It will cost $20 per item for them to be cleaned. That's a bit of a hit to the wallet, but unavoidable considering how many things I've spilled on myself/sat in while wearing these coats. They're good, sturdy items, and I'd like to keep them for a while, so a cleaning once or twice a year to get the stale, dried beer off of them (thanks to a clumsy moment in a bar) is worth it.
Next, I marched to the cobbler. I had three pairs of shoes with me: a nice pair of black leather boots that I've worn away after a year of scraping my heels (a terrible habit, I know); brown Timberland boots that are one of my greatest joys, and whose lining has been super-glued by me I don't know how many times; and a pair of dainty, pointed heels that I consistently scrape against staircases as I go up them (I can't avoid this, no matter how diligent I try to be). The total came to $75 for repairs and shining. The cobbler tried to talk me into replacing the heels on the brown boots as well, but they're not terribly worn down and I'm fairly certain I can get another year out of them before incurring that $40 cost. It's expensive, but do you know what's more expensive? Replacing really nice boots. So down went the credit card in my attempt to keep my nice things nice.
There are net positives to this kind of seasonal overhaul. I went through my wardrobe and found a number of clothing items to consign locally, which should mean a nice-sized check in my future. I've gotten to reassess what I own, and take care of items that need it so that they look like new (because nothing helps with spending than getting a pair of repaired/cleaned boots and clothing to make you feel like you have something new when you don't). It's money I don't mind spending.
What kind of costs are involved with your clothing upkeep? Does a big event like a move prompt you to take care of neglected items?

Reveal: Downstairs Bathroom
When we first moved into our house our downstairs bathroom was just okay. There was nothing wrong it. It had a white vanity, white toilet, drop ceiling, neutral paint color, it was pretty much a snooze with no character!
So, little by little we started giving it a little something, something and I'm happy to say it's finally finished…for now.
When we first moved into the house I wasn't blogging so I don't have a true before picture.
The first thing we did when we moved it was add wall to ceiling bead board all around the teeny tiny ( 9ft x 4 ft) space. We lived with it like this for a while:
Little by little I started gathering items to fill up those white walls that I was tired of starring at.
We now have this:
And this on the opposite wall:
I had an old straw dispenser sitting around for ages not doing anything so I finally decided to give it a job and it now houses my favorite nail polishes!
View of both walls:
Close up of my gallery wall:
The walls are filled with mostly vintage finds, but that chic plate was actually from Christmas Tree Shoppe. I got a set of 4 dessert plates with different chairs for $1.99!
Opposite the vanity is our toilet with some build in storage above. My roman shade was another project from this week.
Since I love adding character to a space I knew this new/old looking handle would fit right in.
Wall opposite the window: This wall is a mix of thrift store finds, a small mirror from my trip to Colombia and the largest print was a gift from a friends Mom! How sweet! Thanks Mrs. D!
There you have it. My teeny tiny bathroom all spruced up and loaded with character.
I know many people live in semi new construction homes and always feel like they lack a bit of history to their home. With some small inexpensive touches like the bead board walls and/or a faux tin ceiling like ours you can take your basics and give them charm.
* The faux tin ceiling was also done right when we moved in so I don't have pictures of the process. It was purchased at Home Depot. You can see them here. Real tin was really expensive so we just used faux fin backsplash that we adhered with liquid nails.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee debuted in 1993. It was a trendsetter in the midsize SUV market, bringing a lot of innovations to the table. The Grand Cherokee was roomier, maintained the offroad capabilities for which the Cherokee had previously been known, but was still suitable for an urban environment.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most successful SUV lines ever released. The car is still made today.
The Grand Cherokee was designed essentially as a larger version of Jeep's Cherokee model. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is known first for its design. The vehicle is built on a unibody chassis, not unlike a car rather than the traditional body-on-frame typical of most SUV models. The unibody makes it safer, easier to enter and exit, and improves handling.
The four-wheel drive of the Grand Cherokee proved to be an advantage. While many SUVs are just for show, the Grand Cherokee is perfectly capable of navigating through mud.
The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers improved fuel economy, among other features. Additional trim line options include the Overland Summit and the sporty SRT8.
The new Grand Cherokee has great offroad capabilities, and it has an excellent towing capacity of up to 4,700 pounds when properly equipped.
All vehicles in the 2012 line come with a standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 260 ft-lb of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The engine is rated at 17/23 mpg city/highway. A 5.7-liter V-8 is also available, which produces an impressive 360 horsepower.
The SRT8 ups the ante with a 6.4-liter V-8, which produces 470 horsepower and 465 ft-lb of torque. The vehicle can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. The engine is controlled by a five-speed automatic transmission, but it only gets 12/18 mpg city/highway.
All 2012 Grand Cherokees have standard rear-drive except the SRT8. Adjustable air suspension is available for off road driving, as well as a drive mode selector.
The first-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee was introduced in 1993 and ran until 1998. It was built on two live axles, making it extremely adept in offroad situations. The engine was available in either a V-6 or a V-8, which offers a powerful option to the consumer. The 5.2-liter V-8 engine produces 220 horsepower.
The early Grand Cherokee was mainly available in a base SE trim line, a middle-of-the-line Laredo, and the Limited. A 5.9 Limited model was also available during the run, which has an exclusive 5.9-liter V-8 engine that produces 245 horsepower and 225 ft-lb of torque. The 1996 models had better safety equipment than earlier models.
The second generation model was available from 1999 through 2004, and is a bit smaller than the previous generation. The second generation is considered by some to be a step back for the model. Some of the build quality is weak in comparison to its predecessor. The independent axle system was also replaced by a solid axle, meaning maneuverability and stability took a hit.
A four-wheel drive model made the Grand Cherokee a better offroad vehicle in a number of ways. The base SE model was dropped and the Laredo and Limited remained. Two engines were available with the Grand Cherokee, including a 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine producing 195 horsepower, as well as a 4.7-liter V-8 that produced 235 horsepower. The V-8 had better fuel economy than the inline six-cylinder and performed better on streets and offroad.
Mechanical improvements were made throughout the second-generation run. A five-speed automatic transmission was introduced to the V-8 engine. In 2002, three trim lines were introduced. The Special Edition, Sport, and Overland had special packages.
The third-generation Grand Cherokee was introduced in 2005 and ran until 2010. The design of the vehicle was changed from curves to more of a box shape, and the model moved to an independent front suspension system. The vehicle seats five passengers very comfortably. Refining the ride was a key focus when Jeep brought out the third generation.
The Laredo and Limited trim lines were available, as well as a limited-edition Grand Cherokee SRT8, which had a lowered sport suspension and an upgraded 420-horsepower V-8. The standard vehicles had a 3.7-liter, 210-horsepower V-6, a 4.7-liter V-8 that produced an impressive 305 horsepower, or a 5.7-liter V-8 engine that produced 330 horsepower.

"A Good Day To Die Hard" is the fifth installment of this loud and obnoxious movie franchise.
This one takes place mostly in Russia, with Bruce Willis reprising his long-running role as a supercharged cop. In this film, he is on vacation to visit his CIA-operative son, credibly played by buffed Aussie Jai Courtney.
As usual, the plot is largely irrelevant. It serves mainly as weak connective tissue for the relentless action sequences and state-of-the-art special effects. The stuntmen in the endless shoot-outs, explosions, chase scenes and cliffhangers are the real stars of the show. The main function of our heroes is to crack jokes while killing people and surviving ridiculous situations of impossible danger.
The formula is all too familiar, overblown and overrated. The heavy action is too silly to take seriously or create any real tension. The true die hards may be the fans who keep showing up to see the same head-banging movie made over and over again in different locations around the world.
Film is 'Safe' but sorry
Who wouldn't want to be in love in a Nicholas Sparks novel?
Winsome and sun-kissed, your true love would be a sweet guy who looks great with his shirt off, especially soaking wet. Life in your sleepy, picture-perfect town would be an endless array of sunsets accompanied by folksy guitar music.
"Safe Haven" is another in this endless stream of romantic fluff, with a tagline "you know it when you find it." What makes this movie so safe is that we have seen it before — in "The Notebook," "Message in a Bottle" and "Sleeping with the Enemy."
There's a girl (Julianne Hough) on the run from something bad. When she gets to a quaint seaside town, it feels like a safe haven. No, really! Is it because of the kindly widower with adorable children (Josh Duhamel), or maybe that Ethiopian blend coffee he sells her?
The two spark and have lots of cute non-dates, and it's chick-flick heaven.
Except there's a bad guy, furious that his girl ran away from him and obsessed with finding her. We know this is a bad guy because he sweats. Profusely. All the time. The widower doesn't sweat, ever.
Five minutes into "Safe Haven," I knew exactly how this movie was going to play out, except for the absurd twist thrown in at the last minute.
I'd rename this movie "Schmaltz." Because you know it when you find it.

The NFL is clamping down on what the league considers to be "non-standard" face masks and Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo isn't happy about it.
Orakpo is one of many players, including New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck and Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett, to wear face masks that featured additional bars. Orakpo confirmed to Mark Maske of the Washington Post that he is one of a handful of players the league is requiring to change the face mask they use to a standard model.
It's a decision that Orakpo isn't happy with, though he'll accept the change if he has to.
"I don't know," Orakpo said. "It's kind of tough. Obviously it's different. And it does have a sort of look appeal to it. But it's also for protection as well. We're supposed to be all about protection and we get denied for something that benefits us. It's something that's kind of disheartening."
Orakpo said he is still hoping to get the decision reversed so he can continue to wear his current design.
"Hopefully we can," he said. "We're obviously in the process right now of trying to get it cleared again. But right now we're denied so we just have to go with what they say."

Mansfield in Nottinghamshire could become the first UK town to crowdfund its own free Wi-Fi service.
Crowdfunding is a financial version of the concept underpinning Wikipedia. The model works by taking small cash pledges from businesses, public bodies and ordinary members of the public, and using them to fund popular projects.
As well as raising money, crowdfunding can help to boost community engagement. Even though some people may only contribute a few pounds, every contribution represents a degree of 'buy-in' that accentuates their sense of ownership.
The model was pioneered by Kickstarter in the US, which has been used to fund hundreds of millions of dollars worth of creative projects, from an Iraqi Shakespeare group who wanted to attend Oregon Shakespeare Festival to new feature films.
Now the former mining town's business improvement district (BID) hopes to use crowdfunding to kickstart its own digital revolution, by creating a Wi-Fi hotspot that spans its entire town centre.
Using Spacehive.com, a web platform devoted to civic improvement, BID hopes to persuade local businesses to crowdfund £38,000 for the digital overhaul.
This money will allow Mansfield District Council to install free Wi-Fi transmitters on lamp posts across the town. Public spaces will also be adorned with QR codes, providing information on the latest shopping, offers, events and attractions, when scanned using a smartphone.
"The future vitality of our town centres depends on imaginative schemes like this – and crowdfunding is a smart way of raising the funds in cash-strapped times," said Chris Gourlay, founder of Spacehive.
"There's a lot of gloom mongering about the death of the high street but with local people and businesses clubbing together to deliver improvements like free Wi-Fi, keeping places vibrant can be remarkably affordable."
Sarah Nelson, manager of Mansfield BID, added that embracing the internet could help drive up footfall and encourage more growth in local enterprise. This is in line with the government's aim to improve digital inclusion throughout the UK.
Mansfield has until 1 May 2013 to meet its target of £38,000. If the target is not met by that time, no money will exchange hands. At the time of writing, a total of £5,501 had been pledged by 21 funders.
Spacehive is supported by the Big Lottery Fund, BITC and the BPF and co-designed by Deloitte. The service, which has been live since March, maximises funding sources by allowing cash raised through the site to be combined with grants and other funding streams.
Spacehive also offers project management tools for public space initiatives. Each project is verified by independent partner organisations to ensure they are viable before they start funding.
The platform has previously helped fund the £760,000 construction of a community centre in Glyncoch, South Wales, and was also used to launch Ian Botham's Cage Cricket initiative, which will see an urban version of the sport brought to multi-use games areas in cities across the UK, starting in Portsmouth.
Chief executive of the Association of Town Centre Management Martin Blackwell said the idea of crowdfunding digital infrastructure for communities could be "very powerful".

Thanks Chubbs
This was my first time trying tuna...wow!!
Hey JR
It was a light coat of peanut oil and covered in sesame seeds
Hot fire, 45 sec to 1 min /side
I know it looks rare, but it is fantastic
I am new to buying fish and still learning
This was sushi grade
Hey Chubbs
This was from a small store. The owner is super picky about seafood
A dedicated fish monger is your best bet.
It was a hot fire, direct , 45sec to 1 min per side
anymore than that and it would be overdone, great looking cook!Mr Holloway said:

and they had great flavour
Thanks Duck hunter
Yes, the store owner threatened me if I overcooked this )
Thanks SkiddyMarker
As luck would have it, I was cooking in -25 with the wind chill
Lost my fire a little quicker than I thought, which ended up working great
Instead of the 750 I was maybe running around 600 or lower
I think I might have just lucked out because they were tasty
Thanks Schlosser
This was my first time trying tuna on the Egg.

Ended up it was the sticker price )
Totally worth every penny though
Thanks Bham Egger
Here's a recipe Centex-Smoker had a while back. I'm going to try this next week.
Here's one from grannyx4
Chimney Tuna
In a non-reactive bowl combine chili oil, sesame oil, soy, honey, and wasabi powder. Reserve 1/4 cup for dipping sauce. Roll eachpiece of tuna in this mixture to coat evenly. Marinate from 1 hour. Remove the tuna from the marinade and discard the marinade.
On a plate, lay the sesame seeds. Roll the tuna in the seeds to evenly coat.
Fire up the grill and on a well-oiled grate sear for 15 to 30 seconds per side or to desired temperature. Remove to rack and rest for 3 minutes. Cover with foil or plastic wrap to achieve carryovercooking. Slice thinly and serve with the dipping sauce.
We make this recipe all the time - enjoy.
Hey Fishless
I will be making some room for a little bark, even if it takes another couple laps
around the block :((
Had a nice bout of stomach flu this weekend,
will weigh in at work and see how much pork I can eat tonight )
Thanks 500
We will be getting some again real soon
Thanks Billy Ray
Both those recipes sound amazing
Wow!! Cen-Tex Tuna looks killer

Blue Bell's Angel Flights spread wings to save lives
by Lou Mancinelli
In 2009, at two weeks old, Brayden Bateman was diagnosed with a rare case of eye cancer. Only about 300 children each year in America are diagnosed with retinoblastoma (RB), the condition with which Bateman was afflicted.
To care for her baby, her third, Sabra Bateman was forced to take unpaid leave from work. Her husband Jason was a self-employed insurance agent. Jason himself had lost an eye to RB as a 20-month-old infant, but more on that later. If he did not work, he was not paid.
These conditions stressed the family's resources. The family lived, and still lives in Greenville, South Carolina. But the medical help they needed, some of the best medical help they could get in the country, was a 10-plus hour drive away in Philadelphia at the Wills Eye (America's first) Hospital.
"He didn't have to say cancer," said Bateman's mother about her reaction when the doctor told her Brayden's condition at her first appointment with a pediatric eye surgeon. "He didn't have to say retinoblastoma. I knew Brayden had cancer."
Mrs. Bateman's doctor told her the best chances the family had of saving Brayden's left eye, which had an 11-millimeter tumor, was to see Dr. Carol Shields at Wills. Shields is the associate director and attending surgeon at the hospital and one of the nation's leading physicians in treating eye cancer.
"There is no way I could have done it myself," said Bateman. The driving and the costs were too much. That's when Angel Flight East (AFE) spread its proverbial wings. But unlike the phoenix, AFE flies beautiful flight after beautiful flight.
"The first time I called them, they just took over," said Bateman about the people at Angel Flight, with whom she was connected by a social worker at Wills.
Founded in 1992, AFE is a Blue Bell-based nonprofit organization that coordinates and facilitates free flights between patients and pilots, who incur the cost of travel. The group first organized in response to emergency needs for Hurricane Andrew and has since grown to include a dedicated network of more than 350 pilots, 100 ground volunteers and a small staff. During its first year, pilots flew 17 missions. In 2011, pilots flew more than 750 missions for patients in 24 states.
AFE operates out of Wings Field in Blue Bell and connects patients and pilots in the eastern region of the U.S. If patients need care beyond that, its staff works to connect patients with similar organizations in the desired destination area. To fly, patients must be stable, able to board an aircraft and fly in a single- or twin- engine aircraft. Volunteer pilots use their own private planes for the trips.
For Bob Smith, head of AFE's pilot committee, learning to fly was a lifelong dream. He started to learn in 1999, earned his license in 2000 and joined AFE when he could. To join, pilots must meet Federal Aviation Administration and insurance regulations as well as having flown flown 300 hours and have an instrument grade rating, which means they know how to operate their aircraft with its instruments when there is no line of sight. "We are all so blessed and fortunate to be able to fly," said Smith, 65. "We feel we need to give back."
Most recently, Brayden, now three, flew into Philadelphia with his mother the second week in March for his 20th surgery. Smith flew the Batemans from Virginia to Wings Field, the second leg of the trip, about a $700 out-of-pocket expense. Smith said the biggest issue facing the pilots is weather. Their main goal right now, aside from safe flying, is recruiting new pilots.
In addition to care at Wills Eye Hospital, Brayden has received care at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. When in town, his family stays at the Ronald McDonald House or a local hotel.
At 20 days old, Brayden began his first six months of systematic — two days a month — chemotherapy. In December, 2009, he had a recurrence and again underwent chemotherapy. At present, there are six tumors in Brayden's left eye and three in his right. There is a four-millimeter blind spot in his left-eye as well as a radioactive plaque in his right-eye to kill a tumor that failed to respond to chemotherapy.
Because it is hereditary, this will be a lifelong issue for Brayden. Doctors told the Batemans there was less than a 10 percent chance they would have a baby with RB. Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor caused by immature baby cells in the retina, a thin layer of nerve tissue that coats the back of the eye and enables the eyes to see.
If it spreads, it can affect the lymph nodes, bone or bone marrow, but rarely the central nervous system. The cells tend to stop dividing around age five, which is when many children, especially the offspring of parents with RB, like the Batemans' first two children, no longer need to be tested. Eighty percent of children with a genetic form do not have a parent with retinoblastoma.
The most common sign of the condition is the presence of white-eyes, as opposed to red-eyes when photographed. White-eyes in a photograph were what inspired Jason's mother to take him to the doctor at 20 months old only to discover her baby had a large tumor in his left eye, which meant the eye had to be removed.
For the Batemans, Angel Flight has taken the anxieties, and not just the economic worry, out of their problem of traveling to Philadelphia. "The pilots absolutely became like family to us," said Mrs. Bateman, who added that there were only three times when a flight could not be arranged, one being a snowstorm that blanketed the city with two-and-a-half-feet of snow.
"I think you learn as a parent of a child with cancer, you take it day by day," said Bateman, 36, who has worked as a full-time insurance claims agent for 17 years. She is also on the board of directors of daisyfund.org, a Los Angeles-based group dedicated to spreading awareness about retinoblastoma.
"Worrying will not fix anything," she said. "[Brayden's condition] helped me put things in perspective. The laundry sitting on the couch can wait. It's OK to wait to clean the dishes until after everyone goes to bed. What's important is being a good parent and spending time with your kids."
Ed. note: Angel Flight East's fourth annual On Angels' Wings Gala will be held on Friday, April 27, at Normandy Farm in Blue Bell and will honor pilots and patients.
Sabra Bateman will be one of the speakers at the Gala. Her son Brayden, now 4, who had cancer in both eyes, now seems to be almost completely cured. For more information, visit angelflighteast.org

Interview With PrizeCube Founders Farooq Mitha and Joseph Abed
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features,
PrizeCube is one of the main companies that started the incentive site movement on the Internet. While many have remained skeptical, thousands of people have received free iPods, computers, and other expensive electronics - at no cost - through companies like PrizeCube. We were able to chat with the founders of this company to get some insight:
Could you start out by giving us a rundown of PrizeCube along with what your positions are?
PrizeCube.com is a free gift website, that gives our users free quality electronics and is particularly known for giving free video game consoles. All users have to do is complete an offer with one of our affiliate companies and refer a few friends to do the same. It is a way for users to get quality electronics that they want for very little time, effort and money. I, Farooq Mitha and Joseph Abed are the founders of PrizeCube.
When did you decide to start PrizeCube?
We decided to start PrizeCube around October of 2004. We saw that many of these free sites existed and that many of them were illegitimate and were not shipping products to their users. We felt that we could start a site and build a solid reputation around it by shipping products and having a forum where people could discuss the products they received as well as post pictures of their prizes.

Next Gen Games Pack Big Price Tags
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
During Sony's annual retailer gathering Destination Playstation, Sega announced that the price of their video games for next generation consoles will most likely start at $59.99. They went on to speculate that EA Sports games could start at a bank-breaking $69.99. That's roughly a $10-$30 price increase from the current pricing scheme. However, if the games are worth it, gamers are sure to cough up the dough – especially when NFL games are EA exclusive. We can probably expect to see something similar to the Platinum Hits category Xbox currently employs to help entice more game sales.

MagnaChip Camera Pill Technology
Posted by Categories: Cameras,
South Korean semiconductor manufacturer MagnaChip has developed an image sensor for the pill sized cameras doctors are beginning to use to photograph a patients entire intestinal track. The camera is swallowed and tracks its path through the intestine while taking up to 50,000 pictures. Thankfully for photo processors, these images are transferred to a hard drive worn as a belt while the pill makes its journey. The MagnaChip will help in early detection of diseases, such as cancer, during its eight-hour journey through the roller coaster of your bowels.

Atlanta Subway Television System
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment,
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority is set to become the first North American subway system to integrate television and radio feeds into their transit system. Commuters will be able to check out looped news feeds from local affiliates along with three radio stations playing Top 40, R&B, and Jazz hits. Instead of piping the television audio through the on board sound system, riders will tune in to the television audio using an FM transmitter, similar to the radio feeds. MARTA plans to bring in $20 million based on their share of the advertising dollars over the next ten years.

What is unique about these receptacles is that they are solar powered, allowing them to sense when the garbage is getting full. At that point, an internal trash compacter squeezes the contents so that is takes up as little space as possible. Very cool. Now if only New Yorkers would actually put their trash into the sidewalk trash cans, rather than on the ground.

If Q-Tips just haven't been your thing, it just might be time for you to import yet another of those wacky gadgets from Japan. This one is basically a vacuum cleaner for your ear. It claims to suck the debris out of the ear efficiently, and without doing any damage to any essential (or non-essential for that matter) parts while in there, and is fast enough that it won't tire out your hands - or as the translation says, "In the ear also being able to hurt, clear without either making the hand become tired the cleanliness!" Yeah!
