Beyond CaliFlorida: Ice cold in the summertime
Written by Jeff Elliott
Editor's note: Before I turn it over to Jeff, allow me to interrupt to note that NBC's Today show has canceled its planned Friday broadcast from Universal Orlando. No word on whether Universal or the Today show made that call, or why. So we're left to keep waiting for an announcement on when Diagon Alley will open at Universal Studios Florida. And now, on to Jeff, though we'll start by sticking with more Harry Potter news.Tweet
Universal Studios Japan – The park reported that attendance at this park was up 7.7% to 10.5 million guests during an off year where no new attractions opened. I take that back. There was a new attraction. Funny enough it was the same attraction that Universal Studios Hollywood has this year… construction. An extra 700,000 guests went to the park to see how much progress was being made on the Harry Potter expansion. I get the feeling that the summer opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is going to be met by a massive cosplay riot that breaks out between the Slytherin and Gryffindor students while the Ravenclaw students figure out a way to get into the park early and the Hufflepuff students get lost in the parking garage.
Is that now really popular? What would happen if Spiderman and Elsa held hands? Who would win if they battled it out? What if they were to team up and have the webbing strengthen the ice like Pykrete? Their kids would be scary… Maybe we should vote on this…
Six Flags Great America – A family of five who had season passes last year to Six Flags Great America jumped at the opportunity to renew their season passes in December. Tragically, in January, the father was diagnosed with cancer and lost his fight to the illness in March. The mother, while trying to sort things out and get the family's business in order, called up Six Flags and tried to get a refund for the unused and never would be used season pass. But, Six Flags has a no refund policy. They were willing to transfer it, which I also believe is also against their policy, but completely unwilling to give the grieving widow back the $72 for the season pass. The media outlet she contacted was able to get the woman her $72 back, which means that there was some leniency in the rules, but only if you holler really loud. Why would Six Flags want to put their reputation on the line for a stinking $72? Why would you take the risk that jerks like me will pick up the story and make Six Flags look like a bunch of greedy stooges?
What this shows is that Six Flags doesn't care about listening to specific mitigating details that could factor into a decision because they have hard and fast rules that they are not allowed to deviate from. For $72, Six Flags was completely willing to burn four other year-over-year customers before the media caught onto this. Yes, I am aware that loose policies have been abused. But there is nothing wrong with listening to the circumstances and making the right decision whether it is on a company policy statement or not. Other companies are successful because they build a culture of customer service, and not eternal suspicion.
Readers' Opinions
From Rob Pastor on April 23, 2014 at 12:22 PM
And Six Flags execs probably question why the park chain has such a bad rep.
From Gabriel Schroll on April 23, 2014 at 12:24 PM
Geez, that HELIX roller coaster was pretty awesome! I loved how long it was, and of course all of the inversions.
But it makes me appreciate Universal and Disney's theming. These other parks just don't have any warmth. And I'm not talking about the temperature.
I feel GOOD when I go to a Disney park. No, scratch that. GREAT!
This ride and others like it are fantastic and exciting, but I'll take Disneyland or Magic Kingdom over it any day.
From Anon Mouse on April 23, 2014 at 1:06 PM
Parks have no refund policies. This is pretty common. Asking for a exception is wrong. Since we are asking for sympathy, she has it, but she is still not entitled to a refund. $72. Really?!!! That's what she is will to go to war for?!!!
From Jeff Elliott on April 23, 2014 at 1:21 PM
She is allowed to ask...there is nothing wrong with that.
And it is good customer service to bend the rules under certain conditions.

Disney's Animal Kingdom- This week, Disney debuted a spiritual apprentice to Lucky the Dinosaur named Val. I have to say, I'm really impressed by the sophisticated animatronic. It actually looks like there is a human controlling the raptor.
Edit: Sorry, can't get a video embed to work here.
From Jeff Elliott on April 23, 2014 at 2:01 PM
It looks like a puppet to me and not an animatronic...
From Anon Mouse on April 23, 2014 at 2:21 PM
"She is allowed to ask...there is nothing wrong with that."
She did ask. Then went to the media.
Nothing wrong with going to the media. Right?
From Dan Barnes on April 23, 2014 at 2:39 PM
KD got more than singing mushrooms, it's just not a new ride. A lot of older rides got extensive rehab this year. Rebel Yell got the most off-season love of any ride, but even Anaconda got paint and the splashdown effect has been restored. The Volcano queue got re-done (the jury's still out on whether that was an improvement). A couple of rides are still closed for rehab (Hurler, Crypt).
But, yeah, the kiddies got Planet Snoopy last year. The "big kids" are due for something new. The I305 glow has faded considerably.

About the news from the "Efteling"
– The park indeed has confirmed that they are getting a B&M dive coaster
- And.. I am curious as to why you'd call the Efteling "never-never land" ??
From Jeff Elliott on April 23, 2014 at 2:58 PM
There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to the media.
It answers the question: If everyone were to know that you did something, would you still do it?
From 220.127.116.11 on April 23, 2014 at 3:54 PM
Ah Rebel Yell, or as I called it Rebel Hell. I don't suffer from migraine headaches, but I believe I received one after riding that horrible, shaky coaster.
From Robert Niles on April 23, 2014 at 4:30 PM
Everyone in the travel and tourism industry should have learned by now that "no refunds" really means "no refunds to live people who are physically able to travel and attend." Try to enforce "no refunds" otherwise, and you're asking for nasty publicity.
The art of customer service is not mindlessly enforcing rules, it is thoughtfully breaking them.
From James Trexen on April 23, 2014 at 4:38 PM
Clearly, I need to be more facetious in my writing. Oh well, that's why we leave the writing to the professionals.
From Jeff Elliott on April 23, 2014 at 5:52 PM
In regards to the new B&M dive coaster at Efteling, I only heard the height and the maker and made an assumption. I think that Efteling is the type of park to not do the standard drop and back to the station that is shown in the video, but it is much cheaper to go that route.
And the "Never Never Land" is a childhood thing that I did and still find amusing to this day. I had always thought of the Netherlands as Neverland, and was amazed to find later in elementary school that Netherland actually is a real place.
From 220.127.116.11 on April 23, 2014 at 6:12 PM
So much news!
Re: The editor's note. Makes me wonder if Universal is still playing chicken with Disney. If Disney still can't officially announce a Mine Train opening date, I wonder if Universal is postponing their live broadcast until after that time.
If Spiderman is getting such long lines in Paris, does Universal have anything specific planned with the launch of the new Spiderman movie? My understanding is they do not have to pay any additional royalties to Disney or Sony Pictures to promote Spiderman in their Florida parks.
And Helix just makes me happy!!
From Anon Mouse on April 23, 2014 at 9:08 PM
You can't sell a ticket to a dead person. A dead person cannot collect on a refund even if it is offered, thus the offer to transfer the unused portion to a live person, perhaps the next of kin. Oh well. The dead exception is noted.
From Jeff Elliott on April 24, 2014 at 6:07 AM
To the comment above,
It does almost feel like Universal is playing chicken with Disney.
Universal should be fairly well convinced that their new expansion and rides should blow the pants off of a small family roller coaster (that could be having issues) at Disney. They are also being aimed at different age groups, Seven Dwarves is for the kids and Potter V2 is aimed at teens and adults.
I think both parks benefit from their new attractions, but Disney is not going to see the massive attendance increases that Universal will...so does it really matter what Universal does since they have the better attraction? No, not really other than to try and rain on Disney parade.
I wonder when Disney is going to move forward with their plans of building a park/land aimed at teens and adults? Until they do, they will continue to erode market share to Universal.
From Rob Pastor on April 24, 2014 at 8:10 AM
Discussions on some other sites about 7 Dwarfs Mine Coaster are concerning potential capacity problems. Rumors are that they were hoping to run three or four trains at a time (1200-1600 hr. capacity) but during tests only two concurrent runs (800 hr. capacity) are working out. If they can't fix that, capacity can be a huge problem. The lines and waits would be really long on a 800 hr. capacity attraction. Due to it's location in the vastly popular Magic Kingdom that would be worst than Toy Story Mania. Even three trains with a 1200 per hr. capacity would be pretty bad for wait times. Picture Peter Pan on steroids wait times.
From Gabriel Schroll on April 24, 2014 at 11:36 AM
I'm picturing Peter Pan on steroids and I see the Green Giant.
Who wants cheesy broccoli and beans with slivered almonds?
I'm still of the thought that Disney should turn Hollywood Studios into their "teens park". They already have Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster. All they need to do is a well-thought out and immersive Star Wars section and expand Pixar Place to include a Monsters Inc dark ride roller coaster, along the lines of RnRC or even Universal's Mummy.
No need for a fifth gate, though that would be pretty amazing.
From Rob Pastor on April 24, 2014 at 1:18 PM
Gabriel: Green Giant, that's good. LOL...I strongly agree with your DHS observation.
From 18.104.22.168 on April 24, 2014 at 1:12 PM
in respons to :
" the "Never Never Land" is a childhood thing that I did and still find amusing to this day. I had always thought of the Netherlands as Neverland, and was amazed to find later in elementary school that Netherland actually is a real place. "
That sounds actually pretty cute, I get it now,
Nether in Netherlands actually stands for 'lower'.
'The Efteling' is very much one of the things most Dutch people are very proud of. It's vast and enchanting fairy tale forest and many elaborately decorated attractions , dense nature and sheer size of the place brings fairytale and legends to life in a way that very much fits the Dutch culture.
From Rob Pastor on April 24, 2014 at 5:10 PM
Menchies at Universal Orlando Citiwalk are going to have Dole Whips. Ahhh, like sitting in Adventureland enjoying a Dole Whip. And probably no long lines. But I will miss the Hippos.

Governments don't create markets. It's a fact — ask anyone.
But government funding can help bring early-stage technologies closer to commercial scale. That's been the case with energy storage systems. In 2009, President Barack Obama and then-Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced $620 million in stimulus funding for 32 smart grid demonstrations. Approximately $185 million of that funding was for energy storage systems.
At Cleantech 2013, going on May 12 through 16 in Washington, D.C., Dr. Imre Gyuk, program manager for energy storage research with the U.S. Dept. of Energy, will chair a symposium dedicated to energy storage and novel generation. Presentations at the show will focus on many new technological developments, including projects funded by the above-mentioned stimulus package and other research funded by the DoE. Read more

The symptoms of AML can be vague at first and appear like flu. Other symptoms include:
Even though these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than leukaemia, do have them checked by your family doctor (GP).
Testing for cancer when you have no symptoms is called screening. There is no national leukaemia screening programme in Ireland or anywhere else in the world. If you are worried about developing leukaemia, contact the National Cancer Helpline 1800 200 700 or speak to your GP.
Visit your family doctor (GP) first if you are worried about any symptoms. He or she will examine you and arrange blood tests if needed. If your blood test is abnormal, you may be referred to a specialist called a haematologist, who treats abnormal changes to blood and bone marrow. At the hospital, some of the following tests may be done to diagnose AML:
A bone marrow biopsy involves taking a small sample of marrow from the inside of your hip or breastbone and examining it under a microscope. Special tests can also be done on blood or bone marrow samples. For example, the number and shape of chromosomes in your blood cells, especially the lymphocytes, can be examined. These are then compared to normal cells. Sometimes in AML, part of one chromosome is moved to another chromosome and a new one formed. This is called the Philadelphia chromosome. Immunophenotyping can check what kind of proteins or markers are on the surface of the leukaemia cells.
The above scans can help to stage the cancer.
Learn more about the above tests
Most types of cancer are given a numbered stage, which describes their extent in the body. This depends on the size of the tumour and if it has spread in the body.
However acute myeloid leukaemia does not usually forms solids tumours but can involve the bone marrow and in some cases other organs such as the liver and spleen. Therefore the staging system for AML is different as it looks at different information about your cancer. Knowing the stage of your cancer allows your doctor to decide on the best treatment for you.
There are two systems used to classify AML into subtypes. These are the French-American-British (FAB) classification and the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification.
French-American-British (FAB) classification
The FAB classification divides acute myeloid leukaemia into subtypes M0 through to M7. It is based on how the leukaemia cells look under the microscope. It does not refer to how severe your cancer is.
M0: acute myeloid leukaemia with little myeloid differentiation
M1: acute myeloid leukaemia without maturation
M2: acute myeloid leukaemia with maturation
M3: acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL)
M4: acute myelomonocytic leukaemia
M5: acute monocytic/monoblastic leukaemia
M6: acute erythroleukaemia
M7: acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia
World Health Organisation (WHO) classification
The WHO classification system divides AML into several broad groups by the type of abnormal myeloid cell and if:
Your doctor will also take other factors into account when deciding on the best treatment for you. These include:

well, I haven't been on tumblr in months…. and my only reason is because i was too lazy to get out my laptop and I couldn't remember my password and it wasn't saved on my netbook. but i'm back now and la la la, hi.
it's only been two days since we said goodbye and I miss him so much. what is the rest of my life going to feel like?
it's been a long time since i've been this sad.
i thought i would move on and be happy but i've moved on and i'm still not happy.
i thought this time things would go somewhere but they haven't and i need to stop trying in actuality this time.
my feet are literally falling apart cause of my cleats, my right leg is forever ruined because i like being aggressive at soccer and i'm still not over him even though i'm sleeping with someone else. i relapsed tonight and cried on the way home. i hate how he makes me feel. i hate how i care still. i don't want to.
"i want us to be normal again"
I guess I'm back to shitty dates with shitty dudes every weekend.
I hate my life.
im going to ask him tomorrow. i swear
"is this going anywhere? are we only ever going to be friends?"
i don't know how i will handle the answer.
you say you have no will power with me. you could make this easier. you could make it so it didn't matter. how can you not understand this?
I'm not very good at going for what I want, so it's amazing when things just happen for us, even though you don't know what you want.

I have a shinny new atmega2560 which appears to have a couple of issues.
First you have to power cycle the board, reset won't do, to avoid an initial programmer timeout when uploading the board with the IDE (1.0.3). The sketch loads and runs with or without the timeout. I just get an initial delay and then the sketch uploads. I should note that this doesn't happen with windows just osx.
The error is "avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout"
Second is the "!!!" issue which locks up the board.
From the reading I've done all I have to do is follow Nicks instructions and use an UNO to program a new bootloader in the atmega2560.
Am I close?

Nissan's 240SX has developed a huge following here in the U.S. thanks to drifting, the sideways craze has driven enthusiasts to swap out the 240's 2.4 Liter truck motor for a turbocharged SR20 from the JDM Nissan Silva and then proceed to run them into the ground if nothing else got in the way first. The only problem with Nissan's entry level rear wheel drive sports car is that it is no longer in production.
Sales ended here in the U.S. with the 1998 shark eye S14 and the rest of the right hand drive world got to enjoy one more generation of turbocharged sport compact bliss before the Silva ended with the S15 in 2002. Ever since then Nissan fanatics have been awaiting the second coming of the 240SX, and it would be even better if it came from the factory with the high output motor. With Toyota's upcoming release of the AE86 inspired rear wheel drive FT-86 and Hyundai's hit with the Genesis Coupe there is a definite interest in the sport compact market and once again talk of a 240SX successor are in the air.
Back in 2005 the Japanese automaker took a stab at an affordable rear wheel drive Foria Concept that promised the world an all new Silvia, however there hasn't been any word since then, that is until now. It seems the car will be built upon Nissan's FR-L platform, the same structure used for the 370Z and G37 sedan. The future car's chassis would be shortened to fit a smaller two door body while under the hood we would expect no less then a turbocharged 1.8 Liter four cylinder engine producing around 200 HP and able to handle a whole lot more. But until that happens we can continue to hope.
Expect the car's official debut sometime in 2011-2012.

This horny brunette sluts loves nothing more that to suck on dicks! There there are, the happier she is. She not only sucks them, but she begs to have her face covered in hot cum, bukkake style
This amateur slut looks more than happy with a dick in her mouth and one in each hand. She doesn't stall when it's time to let these guys get down to business and give her half a dozen fucking cumshots. It's a dirty business, but she seems to enjoy it a lot. Real bukkake amateur porn performed by real amateurs with little to no experience. That's just the way we like it!
Extreme Asian Bukkake Party
Personally I love seeing cute young Asian teens getting their faces drenched in cum. But who doesn't? Just look at how beautiful this Japanese teen whore looks with nasty cum drooling out of her mouth. If that isn't a shot that will turn you on, then I don't know what will. It's all about Asian teen bitches getting covered in cum in real bukkake porn scenes.
Brunette Babe Covered In Cum
This just might be too much cum for this girl... or maybe not. Although she appears to be completely fucking drenched in cum, this brunette could continue receiving cumshots non stop for hours to cum! She is the kind of slut that cannot get enough man juice, in the morning, midday and afternoon, she never stops begging for more facials! This is one filthy slut folks, and she cannot be controlled.
Huge Facial On This Teen Blonde
Wow, her face really got destroyed with cum in this bukkake shot. It did not take long for this blonde slut to get completely soaked in sticky sperm. She looked cute before, not she simply looks beautiful, a masterpiece of beauty drenched in jizz. One by one these fellows grab her head and spit their cum into her face. It was an experience she will never forget. In fact, she is still getting the sperm out of her hair.
Real Amateur Bukkake Orgies
This is real amateur bukkake porn. You will not find any scripts here or any of that bullshit. The bitch you see getting fucked here is a real married amateur woman who has agreed to star in her first ever bukkake scene. All she has to do is sit tight and wait for half a dozen men to dump their sticky loads all over her face. She actually looks quite anxious, and these guys are more than pleased to satisfy her urges for sperm.
This whore loves the feel of sticky cum on her face. She loves it when guys stand around her while she is on her knees and take turns busting their nuts all over her pretty lips, eyes, cheeks, nose... well, you get the picture, right? Bukkake is her thing and she always tries to take several facials at the same time.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I may be misremembering, but the design of holy paladins in Wrath and the introduction of beacon swung the pendulum too far towards paladins being the 'go to' tank healer. I speak as someone who took up disc healing just before the Wrath tweaks that made disc more viable and as someone whose raid group rarely if ever had a holy paladin, and when we did, oddly the paladins didn't want to tank heal and sucked at it.
One paladin could heal two tanks. No other class could do that. They were pretty much mandatory for some heroic modes (Deathbringer Saurfang I think was a 3 holy paladin set up). Blizzard ended up designing ICC around the concept that your tanks would be healed by holy paladins. Valithra (the green dragon you heal) was pretty much a show case of holy paladin strengths, including spiffy ways of glyphing for more throughput. If a holy paladin has no mana issues they can heal bomb with their biggest most expensive heals and beacon transferred that full amount in Wrath. As a disc priest, I was next to useless trying to heal up Val herself :) The design of Infest on the LK fight lent itself to shield spam by disc priests.
In Cata, Blizzard tried to break down the niche roles and gave holy paladins a couple of AoE options they were sorely lacking, but the combination of spell design and raid encounter design is crucial to performance of any given healing class as a whole in each tier. My understanding is that resto shamans have suffered due to this. I still see a lot of raid encounter designs that would be simpler to heal if you had a holy paladin with beacon, but that could be personal bias given our lack of one. The redesign of Holy Radiance in 4.3 plus the design of a lot of the DS encounters lends itself well still to holy paladin healing. Because it isn't a capped target aoe, the stacking up on Ultra for example lends itself very well to holy paladin aoe. As a disc priest, I find the worst fights to aoe heal are the ones where random people take damage, as PoH is group based and is wasted to some extent if only a couple of people in said group need healing.
For all that, as the healing lead, I have had all my healers tank and raid heal at differing points. I don't believe that X class can't heal a tank or can't heal raid. I think some are stronger at one or the other but are capable of doing both. Our resto shaman beats the pants off the holy paladin, so while I understand there are design issues around classes, I know that a bad player can still fail to make the most of the current "top' class and a superb player can make the current 'underpowered' class shine.

Derale Performance has added 14 new High Performance Single and Dual Shrouded Electric Fan Cooling Modules to their radiator fan cooling arsenal. Engineered to provide primary cooling to almost any application on the road today, most offer over 90 percent core coverage for the ultimate in cooling efficiency. In many instances Derale offers both single and dual fan options to suit racing and extreme-duty needs, while also having a high-performance cooling option for budget-conscious enthusiasts. Each application is designed to provide maximum performance at higher static pressure loads and includes high-output fan motors, patented skewed-blade designs, and all necessary mounting brackets and hardware, offering several mounting options.
Old Air Products specializes in cooling system performance. They manufacture the Hurricane Series A/C, Heat, and Defrost Systems that offer a variety of options to fit virtually any vehicle. Along with the A/C systems, they offer a complete line of electric fans, fan shrouds, and aluminum radiators to maximize the cooling capacity for your antique, classic, or custom vehicle.

Evans Waterless High Performance Coolant provides superior heat protection for all performance engines. High Performance Coolant used with Evans BBC pump can cool large cubic-inch and supercharged engines. The highest gallon per minute flow rate available on the market is found in Evans coolant pumps due to the custom-designed, high-volume, corrosion-free coated pump impeller. For competitive show presentation, pumps can be custom ceramic coated or custom color powdercoated. Design a cooling system to successfully cool the most extreme performance engines with the assistance of Evans' technical support team. All Evans Waterless Coolants and pumps are made in the United States. Evans High Performance Coolant is available in specialty performance shops.
Engines rarely overheat on the highway due to good airflow and good coolant flow. The reality is most engines overheat in stop-and-go traffic, at stoplights, or at cruising speed when the coolant flow rate though the radiator is reduced.

With incremental vanes and tighter tolerances, FlowKooler doubles flow rates at slow speed and idle to reduce engine temperatures as much as 30°. A more efficient flow helps conserve system horsepower by 2.2% and increase the block pressure by 22%, which prevents the formation of hot spots and steam pockets in the water jacket. A full range of pumps for street rods, muscle cars, trucks, Jeeps, and rock crawlers is available through selected dealers or directly from the website below.

I play a mage on hellscream. I get dozens of tells for hey give me a couple stacks of Water. I go ahead and create the water, offer it in trade and wait for a tip before I accept the trade if they wait long enough, and don't offer anything. I just cancel the trade and move on. I have pissed so many people off this way. I hope it gets around to people that I don't enjoy demands, nor do I enjoy donating to beggars.

Genius Solution for Messy Pot Lid Storage: Hang Pot Lids On a Magnetic Knife Rack!
Am I the only person who a) has never thought of this before, and b) thinks it's absolutely brilliant? When I saw this photo, I immediately went into my kitchen and tried popping one of my stainless steel pot lids on my IKEA magnetic knife rack and... yup, totally works.
Storing pot lids can be a pain. Over the years I've tried different ways of keeping them neat and organized, like stacking the lids on their sides in a cabinet, designating one whole drawer for them, or keeping them always with their pots, but they inevitably get in the way, or misplaced, or still take up too much space.
But this? I could get behind this. I've planning to install some kind of hanging device in my pantry to store my pots and pans, and now I'm considering adding a magnetic knife rack or two in the mix to hold the lids. Who's with me?!

I much prefer the tempered glass lids that are common with many pots and pans today and don't think the edge of the thin SS rim presents enough surface area to have enough holding power to support the weight of the lid.
I use a rail from Ikea (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50072645/) as a lid organizer. With hooks, I can also hang measuring cups or anything else that's hangable within close reach. I wanted to hang it on the inside of a cabinet door, but when that didn't work, we found it fits perfectly on the wall between the stove and range hood.
This is a good idea for those lids that would be light enough! My pot lids are glass and too heavy. I do the same thing as melissamm above.
I also use the magnetic knife rack for my metal measuring cups.
I use a ikea slotted shelf (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00011428/) to store my lids standing up, works great. My pots hang from two grundtal rails with hooks on the wall to the right of the shelf.

Oops meant to post picture link:
I have landed on the one solution so far that works for me (and my parameters include: clumsiness, impatience, and a distaste for clutter in the kitchen) and our households many pots. That is: Dedicate a deep drawer for pot lids. We just throw them in there flat without organizing (satisfies impatience) and close the door (satisfies distaste for clutter). No risk of a lid rolling off or getting dislodged from special hanging or organizing mechanism (satisfies clumsiness).
Deep pots are stacked elsewhere, and smaller pots with long handles and frying pans are hung from overhead pot rack. Easy and can see everything.
Recycle lids and replace them with silicone covers for cooking/replacement
of plastic or foil covers. See Charles Viancin.com.
Fantastic idea, definitely going to try this when I move into our new house in a few weeks. Always find lids so annoying to store and can never find them when I actually need them.
If you have a pot rack, just loop the lid over the handle and hang the pot. Only works for lids with loop handles, though.

This table was carefully packed it probably took me more time to unpack from shipping carton then to set it up. Instructions for set-up were clear -- with pictures --and I did it myself. A couple of small nicks which I repaired with plastic putty and a black stain pen. Would not hesitate to buy again very very good value and looks very handsome.

Edgewater Library to start construction March 5
Construction on the new Edgewater Library at Broadway and Elmdale will start the week of March 5, according to Alderman Harry Osterman and his 48th Ward Office.
Illustration of the new Edgewater Library. It will be one of the largest branch libraries on the North Side. While it is primarily for Edgewater residents, it will also serve residents of neighboring Andersonville, Uptown and Rogers Park.
Phase 1 of construction will include site mobilization and caisson installation. The contractor hired, Burling Builders, will be locating to an office at 1138 W. Thorndale. In the next few weeks, the 48th Ward Office will have information on local hiring opportunities for the construction project.
"The new Edgewater Library will be a fantastic asset in our community, and I am excited to see this project get underway," Alderman Osterman said.
Asked earlier this year about the teardown of the predecessor libary, Alderman Patrick J. O'Connor, of the neighboring 40th Ward, issued a statement. He said, "This new library will be one of the largest branch libraries in the city, containing more than 60 new computers for public use, free wireless-internet connection, a green roof, and over $500,000 in new books and other reading material."
The 40th Ward Office said that the new construction is necessary for long-term cost-effectiveness for the city in reduced payments for energy and maintenance.
This construction project was approved and budgeted by the 2009 City Council, passing an ordinance to acquire extra property for the project. The new library will be completed by 2013.
A bookmobile is stationed at the Broadway Armory for the neighborhood to use. Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are 10 am to 1 pm, 2pm to 6 pm. On Friday and Saturday, the hours are 9 am to 12 pm, 1 pm to 5 pm. Closed on Mondays. Photo by Gerald Farinas.
During construction, residents are encouraged to use a bookmobile, parked at Broadway and Thorndale. Neighborhood patrons are also invited to use nearby libraries in Andersonville, Uptown and Rogers Park.

48th Ward Master Plan Launch Meeting on February 23
The 48th Ward Master Plan Launch Meeting will be at Nicholas Senn High School (5900 N. Glenwood) on Thursday, February 23 at 7:00 pm .
Alderman Harry Osterman of the 48th Ward issued the following letter to neighbors:
I am excited to officially launch the 48th Ward Master Plan, a community planning process that will develop a shared vision for the future. Now that our new 48th Ward boundaries have been finalized, we can embark on this exciting process. Many of you have heard or read about the Master Plan. This e-newsletter serves as the official guide to the what, who, when, and how. Hopefully the information below will answer any questions you have and will describe how to get involved in the process.
The most important part of this process will be YOU. It is my dream for every 48th ward resident, business owner and stakeholder to have a voice in this planning process. Please pass this announcement on to your friends and neighbors. Developing a shared vision for the future amongst several topics will take a lot of work; however, I believe the final result will be incredibly rewarding and will leave us with a stronger, healthier, safer 48th ward. Please join me in the process!
The 48th Ward Master Plan will be citizen-driven and will cover many aspects of community life: residential, small business, economic development, transportation, public safety, art, recreation, among others. Committees of neighborhood residents will eventually outline priorities and help establish a roadmap towards improving the 48th Ward. Implementation of suggested priorities could come as early as this summer.

Brooke Mueller is coming clean to her closest friends ... admitting she WAS abusing prescription medication before she was rushed to the hospital last week ... TMZ has learned.
Mueller has been telling her friends ... she has a valid prescription for Adderall to treat her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ... but admits she "fell off the wagon" last week and took way more than her prescribed dosage.
We broke the story ... Mueller's assistant found Brooke passed out cold on Friday morning and called 911, fearing Brooke had overdosed ... which was totally plausible considering Brooke's well-documented struggle with substance abuse.
Hours after Brooke was released from the hospital, she told TMZ she hadn't been abusing "illegal drugs" (including cocaine) ... but now, we're told she's finally owning up to the truth.
According to reports, Adderall is one of the most addictive and abused prescription drugs in America -- mainly because of its cocaine-like effects.
Our sources tell us, Brooke -- who's now in the jewelry business -- took the pills because she was desperate to meet a deadline for a jewelry order ... and didn't think she could afford to waste time sleeping.
We reached out to Mueller -- but she had no comment.
Her poor children !!!! Grow Up and be a mother for once ..
REALLY??? What Dr. Would give her adderall?? 2 lie... It was cocaine...Truth
Amphetamines were big back in the 40's and 50's too.. the super skinny housewife who polished the silverware and baked all day... Adderrall is nothing new. It and Ritalin have been known for decades as a 'clean' speed.. good way to focus, get stuff done.. and lose weight. More people are just getting legit scripts for it these days. Personally I don't see it as any worse than any other prescription.. I do however think doctors need to be aware of those abusing (any prescription) and treat it accordingly. People will drink tons of cough syrup, Nyquil or take way too much over the counter pain killers as well.
She looks like Bob (the counselor) from celebrity rehab
22mucho blingling+DOAstoes
Yet another doctor who should lose his license! I am so sick of this. I work in the addiction field and any doctor who is prescribing Adderall to an addict should lose his license. There are other drugs and if the addict tries them all and says the only thing that works is the addicting one then send them to rehab or refer them out! Any doctor who prescribes an addicting drug to an addict should lose their license. How many people must die before we hold all doctors accountable!
Augh, enough! When will she be held accountable for her actions? She needs those kids taken away and some consequences! Oh I forgot, money talks.
just another hollywood looser. be dead in a few years
GOOD THING SHE IS RICH ENOUGH SO SHE CAN PAY OTHER PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF HER CHILDREN ... while she childishly self indulges in her "HOBBIES" ?
no one cares about you Brooke...we all know that they will find you dead one day...most are concerned for those lil kids you have....youre phking up their lives before their lives even brgin...they need an enviroment that they dont have to look at their mama high. If these kids stay with this crack whore, they will be the ones finding you DEAD! You should have been sterililized instead of having kids...Dumb Azz Bitch!
This woman should be permanently stripped of her parenting rights. SMFH.
She is kind of looking like Bob Forrest from Celebrity Rehab, lol....
As a person with adult ADD, I have taken Adderall. If you truly have ADD, it doesn't wire you – in fact the opposite, it calms you down and allows you to focus. Those who don't have ADD and take it experience a high from it. It interferes with sleep, so I am having a problem with her being so sound asleep she couldn't be roused. Also, who gives a known addict a drug to help her make jewelry? When is jewelry making worth risking sobriety? Lastly, who pays for jewelry that is spray-painted? Sounds like an elementary school "Christmas present for Mom" project. None of my jewelry has been spray-painted.
I cannot believe that at the interview on TMZ when this was discussed that they pretended not to know what adderall is, and its prescription amphetamine. Its when its made by man its called methamphetamine. Go figure. Cracking out legally.
I did the EXACT same silly thing two weeks ago, earned a free helicopter ride to the ER. Last time I was on a helo was over Baghdad. I prefer to not have a repeat of either event.


text: A few years ago, if someone told you Paul Rudd and Tina Fey would be smooching each other on the big screen, you'd be all, "As if!" But then, we realized that they're actually pretty close in age (42 and 43, respectively), they're both parents, and they're both partners in being adorable and hilariously reasonable. If there was a Gallactic Senate of Pop Culture, they'd be in it, making topical jokes and bringing people together with their sensible ways. Their pairing for March 2013's Admission is practically inevitable at this point.

History of Forensics: Murder & the Metal Detector
Posted by forensics4fiction
Necessity is the mother of invention. In 1881 assassin Charles Guiteau fired two shots at the 20th President of the United States James A., Garfield. One of the bullets lodged in his body and did not exit. President Garfield was rushed to the hospital where he lived for 80 days before his death. Doctors were hesitant to do surgery because they couldn't determine where the bullet was lodged. Famed inventor Alexander Graham Bell learned of the President's injury and the inability to locate the bullet. He set about to develop a device to "see" the bullet through the skin. Bell developed a coiled detector and performed several successful experiments on finding bullets in animals (sheep) before rushing to the hospital. His first attempts to use the detector were unsuccessful so Bell went back to his laboratory and made several adjustments. Returning to the hospital he tried again without success.
Following the President's death from his condition Bell went to the autopsy with his metal detector and it worked very well. Some historians believe that a new invention owned by President Garfield interfered with the operation of the new metal detector. What was the new invention you ask…the coil spring mattress. The metal coils essentially "overloaded" or "masked" the signature of the bullet making it invisible. Modern investigators often run into the same problem when searching ground littered with metal trash. The difference is that modern CSIs are very aware of this cancellation. Modern metal detectors can actually be "tuned" to ignore certain signatures and limit their sensitivity to that of the evidence being searched for. I'll need to do a future posting on modern metal detectors and their capabilities. Being a new invention however, Bell was totally unaware of the coil springs in the mattress and apparently didn't account for them. Think of it. Two brand new inventions cancelling each other out. It was an unfortunate incident but both inventions continue to enrich our lives.

Environmental snapshots, in real time
Accurately measuring an individual organization's carbon footprint is challenging enough. How do you go about assessing how many pounds of CO2 effectively went into generating a screwdriver, a lightbulb, or a shirt? That necessitates scrutinizing activities and gathering data all the way along the supply chain. And lo, we're seeing IT companies honing their offerings for superior gathering of environmental information both through organizations and supply chains.
No surprise, Enviance is among them. Enviance System is designed to help organizations manage carbon and other regulatory risks. Drawing on the flexibility of Web services, sensors, APIs, and, as needed, manual input, Enviance System is capable of gathering environmental data in real time from a wide array of sources, such as industrial equipment, hardware, ERP systems, databases, electricity meters, water pumps, fuel racks, and so on.
That data can be used in countless ways. For example, the system can take all the measurements of your company's various greenhouse gas emissions and standardize them as a CO2-e measurement. You could also track water or energy consumption or waste.
Moreover, companies can use the system to ensure compliance with permits and regulations. You can store permit requirements in the system and associate them with specific business processes and equipment. Then, for example, when a piece of equipment or a facility deviates from regulatory or internal limits, the system could automatically initiate an event log with e-mail notifications to the appropriate groups or individuals to ensure that the problem is addressed promptly.
Data also can be used to generate sustainability and CSR reports of all kinds. An organization can develop ad hoc reports for one facility or roll up the information for your entire organization using the numerous report formats. You can generate local Title V compliance and deviation reports, discharge monitoring reports, and others.
Notably, Enviance isn't the only player with a SaaS solution for managing environmental data. Carbonetworks offers a platform designed to help companies track their various energy, environmental, and sustainability initiatives like a business. The system, which takes a more business-oriented approach, also integrates with an array of systems, from Excel-based solutions to legacy, ERP, and in-house software. It helps organizations evaluate their inventories, plan for reductions, generate reports based on a variety of templates, and more.
