Giza artifacts removed under cover of darkness!

Things being dug up in the middle of the night at Giza.

Termite June 18, 2013 11:54:38 AM CEST
This is nothing new or unusual in Giza. I was there for over a year. Whenever they can avoid immediate retrieval of an artifact, it is scheduled for night time in order to avoid traffic, heat, and people sweating on them. If the option is available, 100% of artifact retrieval is done at night. I know it seems suspicious when presented in this way or when seen for the first time, but in fact, this is standard practice.

I'm glad to see you back, I thought you were gone foreverSamuel Beckett has given us a great many things. A framework to cope with desolation; a language to contain loneliness; beautiful, endless sentences that speak of the spellbinding state of confusion and existential crisis that exists when logic fails. A reminder that in our powerlessness and sense of nowhere there is the strength of human endeavour and infinite human emotion that is at once tragic and gracious. Somewhere in the space created by this lack of certainty and paradoxical knowledge that we could be great is our decision; 'I can't go on, I'll go on' a statement of determination or resignation, filled equally with sadness and promise, equal parts courage and fear. I see nothing, there's no lack of voidClare Henderson's work continues to be informed by a quest to find where the soul lies. It is a difficult quest, without the benefit of science or the guidance of religious belief, relying instead on what is to be found in the primal motives of grief and kindness and nurture; In the comfort she finds in unsophisticated invention and in the reassurance found in unbridled concern.I'll carry you, if necessaryIt is easy to see how the works of Beckett, like Paul Auster and Buster Keaton would have such a profound effect on such a quest, too. United by a sense of beauty in the damned, in the solid structure of the human soul in a seemingly uncontrollable reality, that despite of our individual sense of fragility, we all leave our mark; be it in shadow, or lingering voice, we, like Vladimir and Estragon, do not move.

How Healthy is Healthcare in Hawaii? - Extended Version
Leading doctors and other experts discuss major trends and problems in Hawaii healthcare
(page 8 of 8)
Green: So far today, we've heard from our panel, from Jerris, about a new way to train more physicians and basically a new track of physician training. From Hilton, we've heard an expansion of a new model that is pushing money towards primary care and prevention. From Dr. Tenn Salle, we've heard what is really like to practice in the trenches and what the difficult part about being a physician is, about the time that you lose with your patients these days, and then from Art, we've heard about the crisis that may exist for long-term care and the economics of the hospital. And that takes me to our first question. Art, someone asked, if we do our job to keep patients out of the hospital, then why will we need more beds?
Ushijima: It's not so much that we're not trying to keep patients out of the hospital, because there are lots of efforts going on throughout the community and nation to do that, but people will still just get sick, and will get injured from trauma. People age and our bodies deteriorate over time and some point in time people are going to have to be hospitalized.
Green: And have you seen more people being admitted or less over the last 10 years?
Ushijima: Statewide the numbers are increasing. Hawaii has low utilization rates compared to the national, but the total number of admissions is growing statewide, although at a slower rate than nationally. We need to continue to invest in technology because as we've invested in technology we then have been able to keep patients out of the hospital. For example, when I started in healthcare back in 1973, there was one CT scanner per million in our population. What I've seen over time with investment in technology is that there is little or no exploratory surgery on the surgical schedules today. We've been able to by investing in technology and the capabilities of people that we've been able to provide better care and also keep people out. At the same time, the demand still continues to increase.
Green: Now I'm going to rapid fire questions and if we can get 15-second answers... I just want to see how many questions I can get to for our audience. I think this is to Hilton. Why don't the payers alleviate the burden to providers by standardizing pre-auth and administrative forms to decrease cost?
Raethel: Good question. I don't really have a good answer for that, but there is a group of health plans that are working on doing that. There are a lot of complexities, and the payers all have their own rules. Medicaid, Medicare, Quest plans, Quest Expanded Access plans, Worker's Comp — a lot of different players. It would be great if we could simplify that. There have been attempts to do that but to date we've not been successful but it's something we do need to continue pushing for the standardization route and reducing administrative overhead.
Green: How much would that help you, Dr. Tenn Salle, if the forms were standardized? Would that change your day?
Tenn Salle: I think most practitioners look forward to that. Electronics or previously, we're filling out forms. If billing, administrative work, pre-authorizations, understanding of benefits, etc., could be done online this could be done outside of time (with patients) and it would streamline an incredible amount of work.
Green: If someone asked you today, would you rather have more money for your practice or more time, what would you answer?
Tenn Salle: Time.
Green: To the Dean: What are we going to do when doctors no longer wish to practice medicine? How are you going to convince primary care doctors to go into that discipline if the insurance companies propose programs with lots of hoops and then the doctor has to tweak each individual patient?
Hedges: The generation of the future physician is looking at having a balanced life. Although, reimbursement is important, paying educational debt is critical. There's still the reality that there will be more group practice, more shared practice activity of the future. So, one of the attractors for the current generation of trainees will be practice environments that allow sharing of responsibilities and more personal time and so as we build such activities we really need to focus on how they work now as a solo practitioner but as collective physicians.
Green: Why are Hawaii's healthcare costs lower than other states? Are we offering the right level of care or can they go even lower? Hilton?
Raethel: We are very fortunate with the rate of healthcare spending in Hawaii even though we do have issues, but one of the reasons we have a lower overall spend is the Prepaid Healthcare Act that does require health insurance. So, between the Prepaid Healthcare, Quest, Medicare, and the Quest Expanded Access Programs, we do have very broad coverage and that does spread the cost of healthcare. And before we had that, we had genetic factors because of the population here. We (generally) have a very healthy lifestyle. We have a healthy environment. I'm not saying we don't have a lot of issues but those are some of the factors that would contribute to us having a lower spend in many other parts of the country.
Green: If you want to become a physician, you go through medical school. First, you go through college. So, four years of college, four years of medical school, plus three years of residency at the minimum. You are at least 30 years old before you've had your first job, and then you have to pay those education loans back, which now average well over $150,000 I think. Dean, what's the average number or minimum amount of debt for a graduate this year?
Hedges: Well, nationally it's about $180,000 upon graduation. We are doing a bit better here. It's about $80,000 in Hawaii in the large forecast because most of our students are from Hawaii and many of them are living with family. Of course that creates a burden on the family but they're ending up with only about an $80,000 debt upon graduation.
Green: I just wanted to punctuate that point. I don't think physicians send you a complaint about salaries. I don't, but if you do that quick calculation, you're really talking about from the age of 20 until 40 averaging out those costs and debt and so on. Physicians are making $70,000 or $80,000 per year, in which those are the years you want to start a family and I think therein lies one of the issues, though nobody should complain about making a decent living and taking care of their family. That's an important take-home message when you hear doctors complaining about the system or complaining about going into a special discipline, because they vary very greatly. That is one of the conundrums of getting people to go into primary care when they're dealing with those regular questions of how are they going to pay back their debt? Would this panel support absolute loan repayment for all primary care individuals and would their organizations be willing to contribute some either mentorship or dollars to that private initiative to get people into primary care? Dean Hedges?
Hedges: It is a challenge because you want to make sure that this is a sustainable operation and having it at a point where people are ready to take that first job and this is tied to their first job — I think that is an incredibly important motivator.
Green: Hilton, is it working investing dollars in primary care training? Is it from an economic standpoint?
Raethel: Absolutely, we as I said in my five minutes, we're investing very heavily in primary care. We believe that there is a lot of unmatched opportunity to expand the role of primary care and we are looking at a variety of avenues to support the expansion of primary care in the state of Hawaii including working with the school of medicine.
Green: Nadine, would it be worth taking on a student with you in practice even if it took some of your time, if it meant getting that student into primary care and paying back their loans?
Tenn Salle: Absolutely. Having incentives both on a medical school level, residency level, and later on as professionals to encourage individuals to go to primary care are all excellent choices. The one thing though that does need to be put in place is you can have scholarships. You can have incentives that will encourage young physicians to go into primary care. The question is not whether they will go in, it's whether they will stay and we're dealing with very intelligent people here. At some point, they're going to look at the business model and if the business model doesn't make sense they won't stay. If they're working 12 to 14 hours a day, Saturdays included if you're in primary care, and you are barely making what your contemporaries are making, they're going to question why should I do that? Why should I be away from my children?

Economy & Business
Translation: S&P 500 Cracks Key Technical Indicator, Then Gets Slammed Higher By Federal Reserve
There…all fixed.
The 'invisible hand of Ben' comes to the rescue. God forbid there be any technical indicators to prompt selling. We simply can't have that and need a protective overlord to ensure it.
Free Market Capitalism R.I.P. – 2008
I think the S&P was artificially run up this year since the traders knew a correction was coming. Therefore, the 5 to 10% correction won't occur until the S&P gets down to below 1500. Just a thought as the volume increases.
I can't believe there is still alot of money on the side lines by the big investors. Why is this money not helping to pay down the huge world debts of the US and Japan? They haven't been taxed enought…Duh..There is clearly something wrong with this picture….??????
The Feds have run out of tricks in the bag. 95 billion per month adds on a trillion a year to the already growing 17 trillion debt…..it's unbelieveable.
Let's ramp the overnight futures and get the party going at the bell tomorrow!
Thanks Ben! You're the best!
I agree with "Need to Pay More Tax". It is amazing that we always want higher and higher number on the Wow and S&P and all that. This world needs to have higher taxation to pay down the debt and save the masses. Sometimes the "capital" must win and sometimes the "labor" should win in order to have some balance. On another front, the "outsourcing" and "Free trade" will destroy the skill levels of the population. Higher and higher numbers on the stock market will make the CEOs to reduce the workforce. (IBM news is a prime example;; they have reduced the workforce, they have gone to India in full strength and what not).

CoPilot Live [iTunes link] for North American roads is becoming the little engine that could. At only US$34.99 it is quickly adding new features, and in this latest update has added the coveted text to speech capability. For drivers, that means the nav app will say "turn left on Elm street" instead of "turn left just ahead".
Other new features include adding an iPhone-standard keyboard for entering destinations, instead of the one designed for the app (which was clunky). The maps have been updated, and the developer says there is better integration of the address book from the iPhone.
I took CoPilot for a drive. It acquired the GPS signal quickly and I was on my way. It looks like the POI database has been improved, and the text to speech worked as anticipated. It is a great addition, and even the TomTom still doesn't have that feature. Navigon and AT&T both have text to speech in their offerings.
I still find that the maps are way below the quality of every other navigator I have tested. Driving home it couldn't find my street so it just put me on some nearby street. That could be misleading to a driver at best, and dangerous at worse.
The developers say the maps will continue to improve, but maps are what navigation is all about and they need to be up to date. I've talked to some users of this software, and they say their region is very accurate, so it depends where you are.
At a fraction of the cost of the 'big boys' and with text to speech, CoPilot Live is becoming a very competitive driving companion.
User ratings continue to improve, and I think it is very worthwhile at the low cost (if the map coverage in your area is adequate). If you have your own experiences to share, we'd love to hear from you.

Squirrelling Away In Motown With British Royalty As far as unexpected encounters with wild animals go, squirrels don't normally rate. The furry little nut-smugglers are omnipresent fixtures in my neck of the woods – literally – so a chance meeting doesn't warrant caution the way a bear or even an ornery raccoon might. But one's list of priorities can't help but change a bit at 175 miles per hour. That was exactly the case when I drove this Aston Martin's predecessor, the DBS, a few years ago.

Aston Martin is marking its 100th anniversary with special edition versions of its V8 Vantage, DB9, Rapide and Vanquish. The automaker will only build 100 Centenary Edition versions of each car. The first of those is the Vanquish, which boasts a special graduated paint finish and sterling silver badges with a unique enamel inlay. Indoors, buyers can ...
A Carbon-Fiber Successor To The Flagship DBS A terrible wave of sadness engulfed me from the driver's seat of the Aston Martin as its speedometer needle crept towards 130 miles per hour. My anguish only grew as the upcoming corner filled the windscreen. As my right foot pressed firmly against the aluminum brake pedal, I began to feel pity for the ...
According to the Twitter musings of one Jeremy Clarkson, the Top Gear UK crew is back in the States for another harebrained adventure, this time in a trio of comely supercars. Judging by some grainy Twitter pics, Clarkson is in Las Vegas with Richard Hammond and James May, set to drive cross-country in a Lexus LFA, SRT Viper and Aston Martin ...
The multimedia dam has finally been opened on the Aston Martin Vanquish. The curviest version of Aston's muscled design language spent a bunch of time in Italy with Aston's favorite photographer, Rene Staud, showing off its angles and colors in the Tuscan dusk. What's more, there's official driving footage and Aston put together a three-part video series ...
Aston Martin gave the 2013 Vanquish its North American debut yesterday evening at the McCall Motorworks Revival ahead of this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

If you've got a few seconds to spare, we suggest heading toward the Aston Martin website for a little virtual window shopping. The supercar manufacturer has officially rolled out the configurator for the new Vanquish, and while the options are limited to a gaggle of colors, a few wheel choices and some carbon fiber trim, it's still fun to figure out just ...
After what started with a puzzlingly innocuous 'reveal' at Villa d'Este, the debutante known as the Aston Martin Vanquish has now been officially and formally introduced. With the DBS having nearly cashed its chips – it carries on with special editions for now – this is the new ultimate Aston. Yes it sits on the VH platform – albeit one ...
Details of the next supercar from Aston Martin have leaked out online. Based on previous reporting and subsequent spy shots, we already knew the machine would retake the Vanquish title and that its styling would be almost indiscernible from the marque's well-received AM 310 Concept. Based on the leaked official info, expect a full spate of carbon fiber ...
Aston Martin recently took a right-hand drive version of the company's AM 310 Concept for a spin in Italy. The coupe was on hand for a brief photo shoot, and sported a few different details from the model we saw debut at Villa d'Este. Marked by a more sane set of wheels and a more demure grille, this machine looks almost ready for production. Aston Martin ...
A week ago, Aston Martin showed off the new AM310 concept at Villa d'Este. Now we know what the DBS replacement will be called when the production version arrives, thanks to the snoops at CAR magazine: Vanquish. The resurrected moniker, last used on the V12 GT flagship that Aston retired in 2007, is plainly visible on the decklid of the car shown above, ...
Click above for a high-res gallery of Project Kahn's interior for the Aston Martin Vanquish S If you haven't been living in a cave, shut off from the fantastic world of European supercars for the past decade, then you'll likely know that Aston Martin has been hard at work on a succession of new flagships since the vaunted Vanquish. But Aston Martin is an ...

Later today, Aston Martin will be closing its historic Newport Pagnell factory, and CAR magazine will be on hand to cover the story live from the facility. The plant produces the V12 Vanquish, and after its shuttering, the center will be leveled in order to erect a series of office parks and residential housing.Although the plant has been in operation for ...
PistonHeads just posted a bunch of pics of the new Aston Martin DBS. Although the car was wearing DBRS9 badges, it's actually believed to be the DBS that is expected to take the place of the outgoing Vanquish in the A-M lineup.

When the The Zurich Iconic Car Index sought out to find the best of the best in the Super Car market, there were a lot of really tough choices. High-dollar items like the Bugatti Veyron, Carerra GT, and the Vanquish cost a ton and have cache coming out their tail pipes. The competition was based off of a "complicated" formula of price, power, performance, ...
At least five potential Aston Martin buyers have now whipped out their platinum cards in anticipation of taking the esteemed carmaker off Ford's hands. One London banker said, "The interesting question is whether this is just going to be a scrap between the rich men of Russia and the rich men of the Middle East." It's interesting to note the plethora of ...
The idea of Ford selling off Aston Martin still strikes some as odd. The luxury marque has turned a corner over the past few years and has now become a successful jewel in the crown of FoMoCo. Regardless, the Blue Oval has made overtures that Aston may be up for sale, but as is the case with both Jaguar and Land Rover, one minute they're open to offers and ...

ROCHESTER (KTTC) -- After months of debate, Rochester Public Schools (RPS) will move forward with iPads in the classrooms.
Tuesday afternoon, the Rochester School Board approved the district's technology plan.
$3.8 million will be used to replace old computers.
$3.1 million will be spent over the next 3 years for the iPads.
"Initially, we were talking about buying 10,000 to 15,000 iPads which would've had a greater impact on property taxes," said Larry Smith, executive director of finance for RPS.
That number has been downsized to 6,750 iPads.
The iPads will be phased in throughout three years, starting with 2,250 iPads in 2013.
Taxpayers will not be affected.
"The property taxes will not go up because of the iPads because we've done some other things to reduce other areas of property taxes," Smith said.
The school board can choose to discontinue the iPads after the first year.
However, they're keeping up with Longfellow Choice Elementary School's progress.
First and second graders there have been using the iPads since April, as part of a pilot program.
"We've learned right from the beginning that it's a very fast process with the iPads. They seem to streamline everything from our teaching preparation to the tools that are at our fingertips to use with our classroom," said Ivy Manning, a first-grade teacher at Longfellow.
Manning says that those involved with the pilot are looking at ways to track the progress they've made with the iPads.
"We know by living and being in our classroom and seeing it through our students... we know it's improved our teaching a lot. But we know we also need to see that through our assessments and our data that we can show to everybody," Manning explained.
The first phase of iPads will come in during the 2013-2014 school year.
The board also voted in favor of a $7 million maintenance proposal, as well as consideration to replace Golden Hill School.

Cancer Health Center
Communication in Cancer Care (PDQ®): Supportive care - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Unique Aspects of Communication with Cancer Patients
Patient Information Needs
Imparting information to the patient serves a number of key functions: it grants patients a sense of control, and it can reduce anxiety, improve compliance, create realistic expectations, promote self-care and participation, and generate feelings of safety and security. Many patients actively seek information and identify acquiring information as a priority. In one study,[14] with 12 specific information and support topics listed, patients chose information as their greatest need. Ninety-seven percent of patients wanted more feedback on the progress of the cancer, 88% wanted more information on the probable future of their illness, and 91% wanted more information about their illness. Another study [15] found that 83% of the breast cancer patients interviewed wanted as much information as possible, 16% wanted limited information, and 91% of women wanted to know their prognosis before beginning adjuvant treatment; 63% wanted their oncologist to ask them whether they wanted to know their prognosis. Patient needs may, however, shift to an emphasis on support immediately after the first consultation. A study has shown that 63% of patients also wanted more assurance that they would be looked after, 59% wished for greater reassurance and hope, and 59% expressed an increased need to talk about their worries and fears.[14] In several studies, information-seeking has been found to have beneficial effects on increased compliance, increased patient satisfaction, improved quality of life, and reduced distress.[14,16,17]
Although many patients have high information needs, some patients want less information about their cancer. Research increasingly supports clinical experience in clarifying that patients differ in the amount of information they want and need about their cancer care.[18] In addition, patients' information needs may change at different points on the disease and treatment trajectory, with patients who have advanced disease desiring less information about their illness.[14] It is often difficult for providers to accurately estimate or provide the amount or type of information that patients want, leading to patient dissatisfaction with the amount or type of information they receive.[19,20,21,22] Thus, it is important for a clinician to ask how much information a patient wants.
Research has attempted to characterize different information styles in a variety of ways. One of these is monitoring and blunting.[23] Monitors actively seek information, whereas blunters avoid or distract themselves from information. For example, one study [24] found that having a monitoring style was related to a preference for detailed information, participation in medical decision making, and patient question-asking. Thus, patient information style may greatly affect patient communication preferences and patient interactions with health care providers. This area warrants additional study and has implications for how patients adjust to their cancer experience.

If your teen is in crisis, struggling yet intelligent, would u remove them from school & send them to a character building boarding school?
Teens who are doing well academically in school yet troubled and in crisis fall through the cracks of most private and public schools. Their path is off track and they need to be diverted back to their journey they deserve. Each teen has their own unique destiny and potential. When a parent feels the loss of "parenting" and communication skills breakdown in the family & between the parents, whether married, divorced, or blended is challanged when a teen performs academically well in school but the conflict at home is confusing the directed discipline of the teen. Would you remove your teen from the home and school environment? Rebuild your family communication with the siblings and your significant other? Do you know or believe in character building boarding school that teaches confidence, principals, values and core family values involving the entire family to rebuild a better future through open communication? Do you have experience or can recommend a boarding school like Hyde Schools as an alternative rather than a therapeutic program and knows that Hyde stands for teaching curiousity, humility, inspiration, honesty and confidence so your teen can become the leader you know they are; facing challenges as an opportunity versus a crisis.

Aug 5 2011: Most people today have (had) a phase in their life that they would now call "being on the wrong track" - isolating a child from its environment and taking away its possibility to find its own way out will most probably turn out to have been a bad decision. Every human has to find his own way through life, your child included. The fact that the child still performs well academically is a very strong sign that it's dedicated to not letting its life go to waste. My tip: do not interfere - you might prevent your child from having the empowering experience of finding out what his track in life will be.
(As a side point, you probably don't want to send your child to a conservative boarding school in these times - there will be a lot of society that'll change for the better, and a conservative approach is never a good approach in that light.)

Amendment to the Annex to the Ordinance on Measures Against Certain Individuals from Tunisia04.02.2011
The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) has amended the Annex to the Ordinance on Measures Against Certain Individuals from Tunisia. Through its rapid precautionary freeze of funds, the Federal Council intends to facilitate legal assistance with the Tunisian authorities in view of the possible initiation of criminal procedures. Switzerland has in the meantime received an application for legal assistance from Tunisia. The information on individuals affected by the Swiss measures could therefore be amended to reflect the criminal procedures that have been, or can be expected to be initiated in Tunisia. The amendments enter into force today.
The Federal Council approved the Ordinance on Measures Against Certain Individuals from Tunisia on 19 January 2011. The Annex to the Ordinance contains a list of persons affected by these measures. The FDFA can amend the Annex. This list of individuals was compiled on the basis of information available at a particular point in time and may be amended in light of new information.
By imposing a precautionary freeze on the funds in question, the Federal Council wanted to prevent any assets of the former Tunisian president and his entourage being transferred to other destinations from Switzerland before the Tunisian authorities initiate possible criminal procedures and submit an application for legal assistance in criminal matters to Switzerland. In the meantime the Tunisian authorities have submitted an application for legal assistance. In addition, Tunisia has sent Switzerland a list of all individuals making up the entourage of its former president. Thus the Annex to the Ordinance can be amended on the basis of the procedures that have been, or are expected to be initiated in Tunisia.
These amendments take effect on 4 February 2011.
The Annex now contains the names of 48 individuals who have been subjected to the freeze on funds and other assets in accordance with the Ordinance. 23 new names have been added to the Annex to the Ordinance.

Garage Door Dealer Brookfield
Nowadays, it is difficult to purchase any sort of appliance without having a selection of designs to choose from. Purchasing an auto could overwhelm you with choices like speed capacity, 4-wheel drive, colors, make, model, and so on. Bath towel shopping has you contemplating in between cotton and linen. Furniture? Leather, micro fiber?
That being shared, property owners need to not be startled that garage door shopping additionally needs a comprehensive decision-making process.
There are many various types of garage doors to choose from in Brookfield, including light weight aluminum, steel, timber, fiberglass, vinyl and premium insulated doors. Aspects that are generally taken into consideration while picking garage doors are price, environment, certain requirements.
If you need durable and inexpensive garage doors, your selection will likely be narrowed to light weight aluminum and steel. While steel doors are more powerful, light weight aluminum is difficult to beat and can withstand damages from outside elements like weather and corrosion. In regards to price, light weight aluminum doors are generally less expensive however the steel sparkle can be much less attractive. Steel doors might be a lot more costly but they can be painted. If style is exactly what you are looking for, you require not look any type of further compared to lumber doors.
Frame and panel, carriage residence doors and flush panel doors are extremely common choices for garages. The much more costly stain-grade timber garage doors add a remarkable amount of value to Brookfield houses.
Vinyl garage doors have actually really experienced a boost of interest amongst house owners over previous couple of years. doors are commercial in durability, they could be designed to match design of any type of home and also come with glass inserts.
As formerly stated, some residents might have to choose their garage doors based off of certain necessities. Homes near sea often require fiberglass garage doors.
Fix Broken Garage Springs
We switch out busted torsion springs and expansion springs on domestic, industrial and industrial sectional, rolling steel, and one-piece curtain doors among several others in the Brookfield area. Springs should never ever be changed or replaced by individuals that are not appropriately educated to perform this activity and may not have the effective devices. Continuing to operate your Brookfield garage door with a busted spring is quite hazardous and could create additional damage to garage door and energy opener systems.
A spring replacement is just one of the most usual repairs needed on a garage door. These springs can be found in varying sizes and work as an equilibrium, raising the majority of the garage door weight. This allows the door to quickly open up and close manually or with the assistance of an opener.
Garage door springs have a minimal life-span. While there are various lifespan alternatives, many typical garage door springs come with a 10,000 cycle life expectations.
- 2 times daily = about 14 years
- 4 times daily = about 7 years
- 6 times daily = about 5 years
- 8 times daily = about 3 years
The spring has most strain when garage door is in down position, and as a result this is most likely position for spring to break. That is not to share spring can not fall short while the door is in an elevated position, which would certainly result in door plunging down unexpectedly. Keep you Brookfield residence safe and hire a pro to fix your broken garage springs.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Well this has been a heated thread! XD I just wanted to have some input here. First off, to those who say enhancement PvP is bad, i strongly disagree. Enhancement is awesome, if you do poorly in PvP, you probably need to learn the class and spec better and improve your skills. Although it may not have as much utility as other specs, it is great if you play correctly. It has definitely been improved since 4.0.3, too. For all aspiring enhance pvpers, i say GO FOR IT! As for MH/OH enchant, i run with Wf main and FB off-hand. Windfury procs provide a great damage boost. FB provides movement utility and a damage increase with frozen power. Unleash elements for both of these provide awesome percs. WF gives strong melee attack and attack speed bonus, while FB gives you an additional slow, which becomes even more powerful if your enemy is already afflicted by one of your frost attacks. I disagree with the fire nova talent. Aoe is very very situational, and most of the time you should have searing totem up. If you need a quick aoe, throw down a totem that can use nova and fire away. Grounding totem is a tough call. Personally i think it is better without the glyph. These are the talents/glyphs i use( i meant to replace WF with lava lash in prime). http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/maiev/melior/talent/primary
I believe the talents i have are the basics that every enhancer should have. Then there is the question between static shock, totemic reach, spark of life in the resto tree, and concussion, reverberation, and elemental warding in elemental tree. I wouldnt take improved shields for pvp, as the dps and mana regen increase is minimal for the 3 points. These talents really depend no what you are doing. BGs vs Arena, defensive vs offensive playstyle, etc. As for earthquake.. i don't play elemental, but i would say take it!

Welcome to our blog!
This will be a blog for news about NYRB Lit. In order to describe the goals and aims of this new e-book series, we'll begin with an interview that our editor, Sue Halpern, did with Barbara Hoffert at Library Journal's Prepub Alert blog:
"As a writer and a reader, Halpern understands that with the multiplicity of books out there' and with the struggles of libraries and indie bookstores, historically the two institutions that offer big support for book culture, as Halpern observed' it's getting harder for many of us to decide what to read. One of her goals, then, is to reposition literary fiction in the market. I'd like to be involved in making literary fiction a genre. One thing that's clear in the social media world is that people love genres, and one thing that publishers love about genre readers is that they are highly identifiable because they identify themselves.
Halpern sees the distinction between literary and commercial fiction as questionable; obviously, plenty of literary fiction is juicy good and sells like hotcakes. But literary fiction does stand out for its allegiance to language, in her felicitous phrase, as well as its commitment to ideas, to a larger sense of where we are. To find authors who rivetingly deliver that one-two punch of gorgeous words and gorgeous thought, she's been actively soliciting agents both here and abroad' and shaking off the illusion that if we get a book Monday, we can publish it Tuesday. With ebooks, there's not the physicality, but the rest of the process is the same.
NYRB Lit will publish monthly ten times a year (skipping February and August), and the books Halpern has found so far are richly promising. September brings us Whitbread Award winner Lindsay Clarke, whose The Water Theater won the 2011 Fiction Uncovered Award in the UK. Its protagonist, reporter Martin Crowther, is fighting a personal battle as he tries to convince the estranged children of his dying mentor to visit him one last time."
Welcome, welcome! Friends, if you've an interest in contemporary literature, you're going to want to follow NYRB Lit.

A Few of My Favorite Photos of 2012
This is what I wrote down under "2013 goals."
Take more pictures.
Write more.
I refuse to let another year go by in which I don't make time for my creative self.
I didn't take many photos in 2012, but there were a few that I am proud of and wanted to share here. I hope to be better about documenting our family life this year.
Birthday Party in the Park
(Not a) Wedding Photographer
A couple of months ago a friend of the family told me she was getting remarried and asked if I would be her wedding photographer.
"I just love your photos." She said. "I know you'll do a wonderful job."
This woman has been like a second mother to me. I love her dearly, so I wanted to say yes, of course I'll take your pictures! But, I'm not a professional photographer and well, it's a wedding. A wedding requires a professional.
I told her that I was flattered, but I also reminded her that I was not a professional, that photography is something I love, but not something I get paid to do.
"I trust you." She replied.
Because she is dear to me, and because she did so much for me growing up, I agreed to do it. I had no intention on charging her because again, not a professional. I was going to do it because I love her and because it was something she really wanted me to do.
The wedding was on Sunday. On Saturday night, I'm not sure I slept for more than 3 hours. I tossed and turned all night. I was terrified, nervous and insecure. I did not take this job lightly. My called my sister and expressed my concerns. "Be confident, own it and kill it." She said.
I arrived an hour earlier than they asked me to be there so I could check the venue out. I was sweating before I had even taken my camera out. I was nervous as hell.
The bride arrived and I just started shooting. She didn't have specific requests (aside from traditional family type poses before the wedding.) So, I just watched and tried to capture the beauty and details of the day. I'm telling you, the next day, every muscle in my body ached from standing, squatting, laying on the ground and running. My respect level for wedding photographers went up by the BILLIONS.
I posted the album of photos the day after the wedding. I was nervous, afraid I had missed things or not done a good enough job. Then, she left a comment (and later that day, left me a voice mail) that said the following:
"Yvonne I don't know what to say… Every picture is perfect. You are the best! Another talent you have you have been blessed with."
It wasn't until I read those words that I realized just how stressed out I was. I actually cried with relief to know that she was happy with what I had captured. I was happy to do that for my dear friend, but I don't think I'll be doing that again for anyone any time soon, or probably ever. I'm way too big of a wimp to deal with that kind of pressure.
Another Goodbye. (Goodbyes Suck.)
After seventeen days, Andrew's leave ended today.
We left the house at 6am and just a few hours later, I was saying goodbye in a parking lot. As I walked around the car to give him a goodbye hug, I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I fought them back.
"Stay strong. Son." I said. "Make me proud. I love you so much."
He hugged me, I hugged him back.
"I will, Mom. I love you too."
He turned and walked away carrying all of his things. I sat in the car and watched him walk away.
"He's a man now. My son is a man."
I wanted to roll down my window and shout out "I love you! I'm going to miss you!" like I used to do when he was just a little guy. But I just sat there, watching him, proud of him. And then, I drove away and left him to do continue his journey.
His time here with us was simply wonderful, but the days flew by too quickly. He's gone again and his presence here is already missed deeply. I can only hope the next three months pass as quickly as the last seventeen days did.
The Man I've Raised.
Our son has been home with us for twelve days. Having him home here with us has been wonderful. We've gone out for pizza with friends. We've gone out to breakfast. We've gone thrift store shopping. We've sat on the couch late at night and reminisced about the past. We've watched our favorite T.V shows together. We've eaten our favorite foods together. We've visited with friends and family. We've laughed. A LOT.
My son is definitely a changed man, but the core of who he is has remained unchanged. He's still kind, loving and hilarious. He's been transformed into a confident, strong, focused individual. He's also not ashamed to admit that he is proud– proud of what he's accomplished, proud of who he is. As his mother, this brings me immeasurable joy.
His time here at home is short– there are only five days left until he has to leave us again for another three months. (He has Marine Combat Training for thirty days, followed by his specialty training in Missouri for two months.) When I think of him leaving, my heart aches because I know I'll miss him like crazy. However, I'm better prepared emotionally this time around. Even though I will miss him, I won't allow myself to be consumed with fear and worry this time around. My son is no longer a little boy who can't take care of himself. He's a strong, capable, brave man. Not to mention, a freaking U.S. Marine.
Love Photos
It's a Nice Day For A Play Wedding
It's a Beautiful Day
My sister's father in law had a wind chime made for every dog he ever owned. He was an avid dog lover. Just before he passed away from cancer last month, his wife had a wind chime made with his name and put it with those of all of his dogs. He was able to see it before he passed away.
Yesterday after his memorial service, I snapped a photo of the back of the wind chime with his name on it. Such a moving tribute, I think.

Whatever Session – 6 – Hark & Dan
Hello everyone! Well the last show got some love. Thanks to those supporting and listening. We recorded this one about a month ago. Sorry about the delay. Unfortunately since the last show we lost a true legend. Often not recognized by mainstream media because of his outspoken nature, we lost Gil Scott Heron who has recently been connecting with the current generation, via Jamie XX remix album on XL Recording. We down our small part by playing his tunes in our own 45min sections, that's the least we could do for such a wise man.
Dan went electronic on his 45 with a bit of old and new. Blawan, Getting Me Down smashing the clubs at the moment. Yes its Brandy sample for those that can remember. Also throwing in the two dark classics, El-b – Buck n Bury and Skream – Bahl Fwd. Only way to truly appreciate those tunes is on a system. Trust me.
I played two tracks from Michael Kiwanuka who has an amazing voice. One of the best I have heard in a while. After all he has been supporting the great Adele. Two tunes of his recently released EP. This was followed by Teen Inc who is an American group who have that Prince feel that makes you wanna move. You get me! They are another act for the future hopefully. Our next one is the 8th show with a slightly different format, which is then followed by our Glastonbury Special and then a vinyl special. Once again thanks for reading this and listening to the show. Keep your ears pealed.

Not just like your ordinary pac man. Our giant pac man accommodates up to four players at the same time so they are playing against each other in a competition. The same board with the same rules as original with a new twist. You can eat your competitors! It's the ultimate battle with only one winner. Pac-Man Battle Royale is the first four player competitive Pac-Man arcade game. The original Pac-Man game concept has been given a cannibalistic twist: Eliminate your opponents by eating them and the last Pac-Man standing wins the round. When players eat a power pellet, they power-up by doubling in size and increasing in speed. Once powered up, they are now able to eat non powered-up blue players and ghosts. Players of the same size simply bounce off each other. Players can also be eliminated by running into ghosts if there aren't any powered up players. Eating a piece of fruit or all of the pellets resets the maze with a fresh new set of power pellets. At the end of the game, statistics are displayed for each players such as "Won Most Rounds" and "Ate Most Pac-Man", etc. The game is simple, competitive, and highly addictive.

John Davidson (c.1744-1825)
Researchers are alerted to the confusion with respect to the John Davidson of this entry. Some historians claim that the John Davidson, who was the brother of Samuel Davidson (and of William Davidson, twin brother of Samuel Davidson) was killed by Indians during the early days of the Revolutionary War:
". . . . On September 25, 1913, some relatives of Samuel Davidson unveiled with ceremonies a monument at his grave erected by them to commemorate the first settler of the present Western North Carolina beyond the Blue Ridge. In the days which knew the beginning of the Revolution, July, 1776, John Davidson, brother of Samuel Davidson, was murdered with his wife and small daughter at their home in or near Old Fort by Cherokee Indians." Source: Sondley, F. A.
My Ancestry
. Asheville: The Inland Press, 1930. Print.
However, others claim that John Davidson, brother of twins Samuel and William Davidson was nicknamed "One Eye" and lived to 1825 and died in Tennessee.
Elizabeth and her sister Margaret and her brother John were all born while living there in Virginia. Elizabeth had been baptized April 19, 1741, by Rev. John Craig at Tinkling Spring. She was the first of John and Jane's children to be born on American soil.

Also note the conflicting birth information with respect to this John Davidson.
Born Feb. 15, 1764 in Rowan Co., NC ... Enlisted 1781 in Burke Co., NC as a substitute for William McGonigal under Capt. Samuel Davidson and was stationed at Upper Fort on Catawba River. In 1781 he enlisted under Capt. Daniel Smith and was stationed above and at a Fort on Broad River and frequently went on scouting expeditions against the Cherokees, once marching to Watauga town on the Tennessee River. After the war he moved to Buncombe County, NC and in 1809 or 1810 moved to Bedford Co., TN where he was living in 1835. He married 1st Ruth Clement and 2nd Frances Bateman. Source:
Old Buncombe County Genealogical Society
"One Eyed" John Davidson, eighth and youngest child of John Davison/Davidson and his wife Jane, was baptized at Tinkling Spring in Augusta/Rockbridge Co., VA on 24 Nov 1744 by the Rev. John Craig.
On 7 May 1770, John married Ruth Clement who bore him seven children and who died in 1792 in Burke Co., NC. The year after Ruth died, John married Frances Bateman, who bore him one child.
In 1777 Burke County was split off from Rowan, and its western boundary extended to the Appalachian mountains. John and Ruth were living there in 1778. At the close of the Revolutionary War, John received a grant of 5000 acres in Tennessee for his work in surveying lands for revolutionary soldiers. He had been a member of Ephraim McLean's surveying party.
Tennessee became a state in 1796. John sold his lands in Burke County and went, with friends and relatives, to Maury County, Tennessee, where he registered his cattle mark 21 Dec 1807. Both he and Ephraim McLean were called for Jury duty in Maury County in March 1808.
John died on 25 Apr 1825 at Columbia on Maury County, TN. He is buried in Ebenezer Churchyard (later called "Reeses") Churchyard.

Dear Cousin:
Since my return I have seen the letter you wrote to Father, making inquiries about the family of Davidsons, and he has attempted in some degree to answer them. The oldest members of the family who came to this country were John and George Davidson. George married a widow Simmeral and was the father of General Wm. Davidson, killed in Revolution, and another son who died a young man before that time.
John was the father of Grandfather George D., and also 4 other sons, viz: Thomas who lived and died near Charleston, S.C. - William and Samuel (twins) both lived and died in Buncombe (the latter was killed by Indians -- the first was father of Col. Samuel Davidson who now lives in Buncombe on the same plantation) -- the 4th brother was the one-eyed John D. who lived in Murry Co. Tenn -- and a half brother, William Morrison, whose family went to Kentucky.
Great G. Father John had three daughters, Rachel and Peggy who married John and David Alexander, some of whose descendents are now living in Buncombe and Tennessee -- and Betty who married Ephraim McLean, and lived in Kentucky.
G. G. Father and mother Reece died about 1800, the former, who first name was William, aged 100, the latter, name was Penelope Groner, aged 75. Grandfather George Davidson was born in 1728, died in 1814; Grandmother born in 1731, died 1814.
Our family emigrated from Rockbridge, Virginia about 1748. G.G. father died about 2 years after. and was buried on his plantation.
There are some of the particulars about which you wished to be informed and I expect are mostly correct. I hope they will meet your wishes and enable you to effect your purpose.
We are all well at present time, tho Father has recently had a dangerous spell of sickness.
There is little news here. I should be gratified to hear from you. Father sends his best wishes, etc.
Yours etc.
Geo. F. Davidson

Welcome to Davidson's Fort Historic Park
By the mid 1700's, European settlers had come into the Catawba Valley. In 1763, the British made a treaty with the Cherokee Nation agreeing that Europeans would not settle west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nonetheless, in the early to mid 1770's several settler families -- among them the brothers John, Samuel, William and George Davidson -- took up land in what is now McDowell County, including the present site of Old Fort.
The summer of 1776 saw in increase in Cherokee violence against settlers, and as a result, a small fort was constructed on land acquired by the Davidsons at the headwaters of the Catawba River. Built by North Carolina militia soldiers, it was called Davidson's Fort and was continually garrisoned by militia troops for the protection of North Carolina's far-western settlements. Davidson's Fort was the final departure point for some 2,700 militia troops led by General Griffith Rutherford as they began a campaign into Cherokee territory in the fall of 1776.
Walk in the Footsteps of our Colonial Ancestors . . .
It is 1776, and for the next 20 years, you stand at the westernmost outpost of present day North Carolina -- and just over the hill, the Cherokee have sided with the British. You live close to the fort built by the North Carolina Militia because the Cherokee stage raids on you and your neighbors. Stand and watch 2,700 militiamen led by General Griffith Rutherford bivouac around Davidson's Fort before they set out and march up the valley along the Catawba River and the Catawba Falls to attack the Cherokee Nation.
Through interpretive re-enactors and various demonstrations of Colonial life and activities, we help history come alive for visitors to Davidson's Fort.
Please Join Us!
The building of a replica of Davidson's Fort has been underway since 2004, begun by a small yet dedicated group of visionaries. Development of the Fort is ongoing, and we have big plans to make your future visit even more educational and enjoyable. The Fort provides educational opportunities for schools and other groups. You can help preserve and breathe new life into our history by contributing to Davidson's Fort Historic Park, a non-profit organization. We invite you to become a patron or sponsor today.

Save yourself the frustration of this product and company
I bought the MAC12k as an HVAC system for a detached 400 sq. ft room. The room is over insulated, shaded, and doesn't get a lot of traffic in and out. It's "rated" at 12000 BTu, which by industry standards, is good for 500 sq. ft. In reality it's nowhere near 12000 BTu's. It's finicky, breaks... Read full review »

I'm not sure what was worse. The fact that two of these units lasted a grand total of two months between them. Or that the company would not honor its own warranty.

Is this Cyber Monday the last without sales tax?
Retail analysts reported a curious trend this Black Friday. On the traditional first shopping day of the Christmas season, the number of visits to malls, big box stores and other retailers increased, according to the analytics firm ShopperTrak, but the amount spent in brick-and-mortar businesses actually went down slightly from last year's total. Online shopping, meanwhile, jumped ahead of its traditional Cyber Monday kick-off and exceeded $1 billion on the Friday after Thanksgiving for the first time. Online shopping was up sharply on Thanksgiving day, too, according to comScore. That means many people braved the frenzied crowds and jammed parking lots to check out the holiday season merchandise, but when it came time to buy, they went home and logged on.

ec: With the transition to using 3R, did you have the same personnel in place with the new S60s for 2009?
JH: Well, 3R has been in the business for years, Bob Raub was racing Trans-Am cars back in the '70's and Will Moody has been around for years. It so happened that 3R lost their drivers and they were looking for work, so we hired Will Moody for the engineering work and it didn't take me long to figure out that I was working with the wrong team. I bought new cars from Porsche, had 3R come pick them up, do all the modifications and build the cars for the season. We had Michael Gilati and Randy Pobst and there we go, we got a crew, we got drivers and we got a car. And we got a championship.
ec: Since you had professionals in Michael and Randy, what were their impressions in going from all-wheel drive and front engine to a 911?
JH: Randy did not have a problem, Randy has been a Porsche driver for years. Where he had to make an adjustment was going from the Porsche to the Volvo. Michael is a good guy but I think he had a lot of trouble with the transition and I don't think he ever figured it out. Randy just fit right in, it was like putting on old boots or gloves or something for him.
ec: The reason I asked is it's always interesting to find out how teammates, when they share the information on setups, both coming from different directions, from a Porsche to a Volvo, what's compatible for them and what isn't.
JH: It's not compatible, they didn't like the cars set up the same way at all. It's communication. Pobst is so good at feedback for what he wants and what the car is doing, he and Will Moody clicked at that. Michael Galati wasn't as specific so he ends up driving the car the way it is instead of trying to make it better sometimes. Maybe due to the Italian and English, we never could get the car precisely what he wanted because he couldn't tell us exactly what he wanted.
ec: Well, for a lot of drivers the sweet spot is something that is not really described. Luis Diaz is a brilliant prototype driver but simply could not come to terms with driving a GT, it was a completely foreign concept. Galati may have been thinking "I'll just get in it and drive and we'll keep adjusting it until it's right" and feedback wasn't his thing. I believe that you can't program the human element and the driver is going to tell you what you cannot pick up from any sensor, any probe or any telemetry.
JH: Both are critical. We separate the drivers when we do a download because we don't want what one says influencing the other one. Then we take what they say and we look at the data too and compare the two. It can be enlightening.
ec: Well, how did you handle the development, you got the tubs from Sweden and were delivered to Colorado and then the prep starts. You are almost to some degree, your own manufacturer.
JH: Absolutely, there are a lot of people involved with the Volvo, we just took that a step further. The chassis design was done by 3R, they are very good at building cars. They reduced as much weight in the tubs as they could. The unibody has been strengthened considerably. The same detail has been applied to the drivetrain, Mahle does the motors, the areas of concern from 2006, you learn which direction to go.
ec: Some examples?
JH: I think almost every single part, like the uprights. In 2006, one of the things that happened right away in testing was the right front spindle broke and the car went into a wall. In racing, this is a component that cannot fail. So we started over and we used an engineering company in Colorado that helped us design new uprights, hubs and all the suspension geometry.
