Sep 26, 2013
According to press reports, just as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was stirring up interest among the tea party and other grass roots conservatives, his anti-health law strategy was also causing differences among his GOP colleagues.
Los Angeles Times: Ted Cruz's Senate Talkathon Is Over, But He's Still Talking
He said he hoped the public would carry his message of opposition to President Obama's health care law and pressure Republicans to support his drive to prevent federal spending on it. "At this point, the debate is in the hands of the American people," said Cruz, who even in the halls of the Capitol sounded as if he were still speaking in the chamber. "At this point, I think I have spoken long enough." But he hadn't. Within the hour, he was on Rush Limbaugh's afternoon radio talk show (Memoli, 9/25).
The New York Times: Cruz, Tea Party Hero, Rankles Senate G.O.P. Colleagues
Ted Cruz's crusade to dismantle President Obama's health care law has helped cement his status as an emerging hero of the Tea Party and conservative grass roots. But it is stoking resentment and derision from many other Republicans, including his own Senate colleagues, who see his campaign as impractical, self-interested and potentially damaging to the party's electoral efforts in 2014 and beyond (Peters, 9/25).
The Associated Press: GOP Definer Or Divider? Either Way, Cruz Puts Forth Conservative Case Against Obamacare
Stunt or principled stand, Sen. Ted Cruz's talkathon against Obamacare scored 21 hours of cable television time to describe the president's signature law in the most conservative terms. By noon Wednesday when the Texas freshman finally sat down, tea party groups supporting him were in full fundraising mode (Kellman, 9/25).
The New York Times: A New Senator Stops Talking, And A Vote On Spending Nears
On Sunday he made clear that he opposed cutting off debate — called cloture — unless the majority leader, Harry Reid, agreed that 60 votes be required to strip the bill of language that would gut the health care law. On "Fox News Sunday," Mr. Cruz, a freshman from Texas, declared his opposition to "any vote for cloture, any vote to allow Harry Reid to add funding for Obamacare with just a 51-vote threshold." "A vote for cloture is a vote for Obamacare," Mr. Cruz said. Yet after the vote on Wednesday, Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, said Mr. Cruz had never intended to oppose the motion to take up the bill, an assertion contradicted by Mr. Cruz's words and procedural motions for days before the tally (Weisman, 9/25).
Texas Tribune: Cruz's Speech Further Propels Him Into National Spotlight
For more than 21 hours, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz spoke about why the nation should defund the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare." And although his floor speech might not succeed in accomplishing that policy goal, the national spotlight is squarely on the freshman senator from Texas who is considered a possible presidential contender in 2016. ... "He's now going to be the leading national politician fighting Obamacare, and that's extraordinarily valuable territory to own," said Republican political consultant Matt Mackowiak of Austin. "We have some strong conservatives for 2016, but few of them have fought for something in a meaningful way" (MacLaggan, 9/25).
CBS News: Ted Cruz's Epic Speech, Fact Checked
Throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, assisted at times by his conservative colleagues, (Sen. Ted) Cruz (R-Texas) bemoaned the impact of the health care law, hailed his efforts to stop it, and to fill time, he rambled on about some of his favorite movies and children's books. Some of his remarks -- including the very insistence the Senate can defund the health care law -- took some liberties with the truth. Here's a look at some of Cruz's questionable statements (Condon, 9/25).
Miami Herald: Sen. Marco Rubio Plays Tag Team With Sen. Ted Cruz In Slamming Obamacare On Senate Floor
And at 6 a.m. Wednesday, just as most people were waking up on the East Coast and just in time for the morning news programs, Rubio took to the Senate floor to relieve Sen. Ted Cruz quasi-filibuster over Obamacare. For nearly an hour, as the semi-filibuster entered its 16th hour, Rubio spoke without notes and gave a standard but impassioned stump speech that hopped from the American Dream to broken schools to free enterprise to Obamacare to debt (Caputo, 9/25).

Using live CCTV recordings from the past six months of the Linden tree growing outside Siobhan Davies Studios, Kerrigan reflects on the development of the tree's lifecycle, from the sparse branches in winter to the dense, leafy foliage in the summer months.
Mixing the recordings with computer game software, Kerrigan creates interactive film footage for the viewer to explore. A single tree branch captured within London's busy environment initiates a story of light, pollution, microclimate, transport and migrating wildlife.
The footage sits alongside Kerrigan's large-scale sculptures which play with processes shared by nature and technology and chart the progress of the seasons from spring through to autumn.

♡under capricornia skies♡: hidingfromsomeone: Fifty Shades & The "Philadelphia Incident"I'm not...
Fifty Shades & The "Philadelphia Incident"
I'm not really sure if this is the best place to voice these opinions and concerns. And I'm not really sure if it's my place to be voicing them at all. This whole topic isn't easy for me to discuss (it's very personal) but…
READ THIS. Thank you.
Also, did not know BDSM was illegal in the states (really???). Silly Canadian running around thinking everything's sane/cool.
it's a state-by-state, county-by-county thing. I know in Mass it's p. much illegal to host a BDSM event at a "venue", so ppl have house parties. In NYS it's generally ok, but no sex or nudity at places that sell alcohol or are publicly accessible, which is why all sex parties are pre-registered events and BYOB. There are several known but I wouldn't recommend promoters in NYC who have regular public play parties, remember a year ago it was publicly acknowledged an fetlife that there are cops-on-duty at many of these parties [plain clothes and dubious as to professionalism was claimed], and that, if BDSM was flat-out illegal, ALLLL the lawyers and law students in the NYC scene would be much less worried about where their handstamps are placed and that they've declined photo ops.
A lot of the legal presadent basically say that in the US court of law, they cannot ensure that you consented to getting tied up or beaten or cut open or yelled at and called names and kept in shackles and made to crawl around the house while cleaning and eat off the floor— the court can't rely on verbal agreements and non-legally binding contracts to prove consent. Certain states have written it that all these activities are illegal, but most have no specific laws against it, just highly biased courts. [I'm no lawyer, but this is the jist from 10 years sifting thru this info & last 3 years of being active in the community, which I'm not any more due to burn out and general loathing.]
Also I REALLY have to take exception to some later bits of this—in the US, like everywhere, but very prominently US v UK, the local community may vary greatly. In NYC, mentors? Fuah, y'gotta be kidding. There's classes and there's leather communities, but being new in the NYC scene is relatively hands-off and most of your welcoming committee will be 1/2 people to avoid, 1/4th people who are only tediously interested in befriending you, and 1/4th ppl who are friendly and want to legit help you and have a good time. And most of them are pretty new, too. Other communities may be very insular and not accepting of how you do your kink; while others are more accepting of everyone. Not everyone wants to mentor you, the ones who immediately do are to be suspect, and most of the time ppl's hands are tied as to tell you who to avoid, you'r a noob and you see on the listings "oh the NYC Fetish Horde is hosting a party at RedSilk Lounge I think I'll go!" and your not a total noob so you go to the munch before to meet people but ahhh, everyone's going to this party and basically it's the Fetish Horde friends & apologizes club and they won't tell you that the guy running it sells LSD and ignores ppl who've had their drink drugged and all his buddies have been accused of raping or narrowly raping somebody! you only learn this after controversy happens and ppl's posts get removed on kinkyliving-dot-org for speaking up about it!
Honestly I have no clue about this Philidelphia incident but it's NOT uncommon in the kink community. It's VERY COMMON, despite all the sexpos publications in the last 20 years trying to teach people how to negotiate and realistically achieve their desires. It doesn't matter how many times you read the new topping/bottoming book or BDSM 101 this can still happen. Truth it happens more easily to people who don't have access to those books, just The Story or O, The Novels of GOR, most any-even-kink-approved-kinky-erotic fiction of which 50 Shades is just one more notch in the belt of…..because kink fantasy IS dark, depraved, weird, and socially unacceptable, but kink reality means looking at these desires and figuring out what to do with them in a manner where everything is agreed on and no one is scarred for life, at least not without accepting that risk fully.
Unfortunately, we don't live in a kink-positive world. Our pop!kink school teaches us that BDSM IS rape, it is torture, and you're sick in the head to want it, even if you say "no" you still want it and deserve it. Our BDSM legit school is a subcultural knowledge passed down thru hard-to-find books [I've tried, they're not in your Barnes N Nobel] and rapidly aging alt.net & web 1.0 sites. web 2.0 sites are hook-up sites at worst, hard to find blogs and facebooky websites at best, and even then for every blog or post you find, there will be 20 disagreeing with it.
Short, people just don't have access to this info, they just have access to the fantasy. Call 50 Shades poorly written, but it's noting new. When was Story of the Eye or 120 Days or Sodom published? But while I can find de Sade in most bookstores, why can't I find Dossie Easton? Ppl say a lot about how the BDSM community "isn't like the fantasy", and ppl try, but more ppl get hurt anyways because they don't have access to the reading or community, and even the community it's self is not without it's creeps and abusers.

JAUNTIEST AND DAMN TRAITORS: For the Record…
On the self-piercing thing; a thread old as time within the body-mod world.
I am pro-self piercing. I see a lot of other people/blogs blithely stating that they are against it, as if it's any one thing or doesn't come without caveats.
Self-piercing does not mean it was done by your 12-year-old…
That is just ridiculous, all of that.
Self piercing is bad, no matter what. If you're not a licensed professional, you should not be piercing yourself, or others. Even a lot of professionals don't like piercing themselves.
There's no way you can fully sterilize needles for a piercing to be completely safe. That's why professionals spend so much money on sterilization materials. Why else would they if they could just sterilize it like any other random kid could do?
Self piercing, done by a non professional, is bad. Just bad. No matter what the circumstances, or the precautions.
So, you can't fully serilize needles, eh? That's why you can buy sterile needles and even piercing needles from reputible suppliers pre-autoclaved, right? [check BME's shop].
Also, you realize that making blanket moral arguments ["bad" v. "good"] is also including LOTS AND LOTS of VERY WELL-KNOWN people in the modification world. A lot of early practioners didn't have certification, some piercings were just too strange and intimate for folks to get done professionally, some people got into piercing at early ages where they are often legally denied access to safer, healthier means of body modification [which doesn't mean I don't advocate waiting on things to do them in ideal conditions; but MILLIONS of baby girls have survived their aunt's sticking sewing needles in their ears, I'm not worried about a lobe, much less one that's done with a sterile hollow needle for piercing and clean gloves on a clean ear. Self, friend, or professionally done or not]
Here's something: Doctors routinely trust patients to stick needles into their own flesh for injections, obtain sterile needles and discard the used needles; clean the sites prior to injection and properly take care of the site after. Sure this is done at 20+ gauges usually, very easy to heal, but also, completely on their own with little training. This happens in living rooms, bathrooms, etc across the world.
If someone gets sterile needles, uses clean gloves and preps with alcohol, puts sterile jewelry in the piercing, the only thing that that person lacks v. a profesional is probably an eye for placement and very intimate knowlege of the body. This has it's downsides, but considering that most piercers are tutored in piercing by more experienced piercers and are not all med students, I don't think there's much that one can't inform themselves of. Keep in mind, too, that a lot of "extreme mods" you see were often pioneered by modfolk doing experiments or doing it DIY; and I don't think that should be taken as outand out endorsement but it is a truth as much as it's always risky, professional or no, to do some things.
Here's another thought: Many of the diseases you can get from [re]using unsterile equipment are the same that you can get from having unprotected sex. You get tested, use protection, and it's trusted you will probably not get an STI; in body-involved materials, you always go sterile, you always deal with reputable sources, your chances of getting a blood borne pathogen are extremely rare, if possible at all. Most people engage in riskier sex than DIY piercing can be with little effort.
I've seen a lot of people do very extreme things with their bodies, they inform themselves of the risks and of risk midigation, they prepare themselves and the things they need, and more often than not, the body is far more resiliant even when they do ignore the risks.
Something that me and my partner have been talking about around this self-rightious tumblrngicalism is that it puts into severe question about why you care what someone else does to their own body. If one believes, as we both do, that the individual has a right to bodily autonomy, why are folks outright concern-trolling other folks who are practiscing as such? The most you have a right to ask is that someone does it in an informed manner that won't hurt them, provide resources so that they stand a chance against that less, and consider all their options…after that, it's not really anyone's place to make morally hysterical arguments against what they want to do with their lives. Further, it seems that many people are either agressively or passive-agressively trolling a specific girl, who I'm taken to believe is a minor, threatening her with bodily harm because she's not following The Way of body modification [hahah. ha] I don't endorse everything that she did, or everything that anyone does [some things are just really uninformed and from places of childish stubborness, in my opinion], but I'm not going to beat anyone up over what they do or have done to their bodies. One, it sets a precient of negatively judging ANYONE who alters their bodies without a "professional" class of people overseeing it [including people with current or historical self-harm, and trans people, and many alt.lifestyle and BDSM people] with a sense of holy unquestionableness towards it [anyone think why people want to not be pierced by a professional? maybe it's a lack of them in their areas, maybe they are survivors or abuse and it's triggering to be put in a vunerable position, maybe they have lifestyles that are not supportive/supported of/by body modifcation practitioners, such as some religious folks or some alt.life folks…]
Here's the skinny cow: "ALWAYS SEE A PROFESSIONAL" is a PLACEBO MANTRA, there is a lot of grey space that isn't being addressed, such as what consititues a pro in one's area, the quality of the pros in question, the nature of the modification, and the person and their reasons for their modification.
Seeing a professional is good advice, but is hardly a hard and fast rule. It doesn't stand in the human history of body modifcation, and professional quality materials are avalible from reputable sources. Get everything as "sterile" or use the "autoclave my order" option I've seen on several sites.
In the end, if folks are making informed decisions about their bodies, it's the most you can request, but it's still their body, they have the final say on what they are willing to risk having done to it.
end note: I apologize for any spelling errors, I'm on a different computer without spellchecker enabled and have some mild issues with spelling and letter placements.
- and I guess if it makes me seem omglesscraycray, I've refused to stick safety pins in my friend's ear because I don't think it's generally a good idea, even though most of my friends and relatives have done it on purpose or accident and lived to tell the tale; heck, I even did it. Word kids: piercing needles = painless, safety pins = slow, dull pain until it finally goes through. Don't bother with shitty stuff. get the good stuff and save yourself the effort.

"There is an argument that it's OK to draw women in this hyper-idealized and sexualized way, because male characters are idealized too. The difference is, more often than not, women are idealized primarily in a sexual manner, and men are idealized in a way that emphasizes power and strength. These are not the same thing, and send a distinct message to the reader whether you realize it or not. I guess my overall point is just to think about what you're drawing, and why you are drawing it."
Jamie McKelvie, Female Super-Hero Characters and Sex (via elliottmarshal)
Practically every day in class, I want to say this. Even from guys I otherwise like and like their work. But I'm always met with hopelessness. They've been drawing this character that way for years, they won't change it; they've been drawing this comic for months, they're not going to go back and change this character's appearance. or they either Nice Guy it and fluffle around the issue apologetically, but never change their ways; or confront it in the manner of "it's all fake anyways!".
It's just like the people who are seniors and still use cheap-ass microns [in one size] to ink their work, people who still won't look at references or work over photos to get their poses and perspective right. They've found their comfort zone, their "good enough", and it's a steep uphill battle to even pass the argument.
I guess what I'm saying: if I feel like I'm talking to a wall with fellow students, I only am now understanding how set in their ways most long-term professionals must be.

A follower told me to post this, about Venezuela:
"Won't be posting anything else than things related to my country's situation, we are in a dictatorship, and we are in a awfully bad situation, hopefully this government will fall down by it's own weight or by us, we won the elections yesterday, but they chose to hide it and yet to claim their victory and their candidate has taken the presidency (which he had before either way, but as temporary, and passing over the law)
We are called by our side's leader to unite and protest until we see the real results, until they recognize our victory, they claimed (The CNE, an organism which handles the elections) that the elections happened calmly and normally, with no incident, while we have reports and official evidence of the contrary, more than 3.000 incidents happened all over the country, going from simple violence attacks against our side, with it's already known lack of police support and army support, to stolen boxes with the votes and many other things.
We are asking to let us see the 100% of the votes and count the votes manually to compare it with the results of the CNE, something that their candidate agreed but somehow forgot and passed over it today, the CNE announced that they won't allow such thing because their system is perfect and transparent, we have clear evidences that it is not, it has it's faults, and there's a fraud, called by one of the 5 directors of the CNE. It is our right to demand this, it is on our constitution, the one they claim to love but yet they ran over it and break it's articles and laws, and claim that the constitution has interpretations.
The thing that people on other country doesn't know is that we aren't fighting against a candidate and it's people, we are fighting against the whole government, they own and control every agency of it when they should all be neutral, they defend their own interests and lie until they can't no more.
It's even more difficult to pass these days full of tension and threats, we live here in Venezuela with the fear of getting robbed and killed everyday, and it's something this government hasn't fixed, it has grown into an incontrollable rate, and it's time for a change, it's time to stop all this corruption that has destroyed our economy, has divided our society, has created insecurity and violence and it is based on lies.
Since they got to the government there have been 155.000 murders, since Chávez died and he took over (100 days ago) there have been 4.500 murders.

Are you using the cellpipe as a router or are you using something else? Looks like it is not a reboot (or for that mater something on the cellpipe. Next time it happens see if you can ping the modem (192.168.2.1 normally). How long does the outage last. The reboot would last at least a minute or two (while the modem powers up and gets sync again). Also if you have the modem in front of you a reboot should be pretty obvious based on what the lights are doing. It could just be that Bell/TSI are having some issues but from the sounds of things you are having this issue fairly often right? Best thing to do is gather data. Record when it happens. Do a couple of traceroutes to big sites (same ones each time) and record those as well. Save the log snips from the cellpipe as well. If it is not a reboot (which it really doesn't look like) you may be able to get enough information to figure out what it is. Have you tried talking to TSI support about it? They could check your line to make sure it looks okay and should also be able to check how frequently you are reconnecting / reauthenticating. This may also shed some light on what is happening. I would suggest starting a new thread with this information and see what if some people can help you out. This thread is so big and old that most people have written it off at this point I think unless they are waiting for financial resolution from TSI like I am.
How common are the Cellpipe problems? Anyone without any problems? I'm thinking about going 25/8.My current 6 M service is pretty stable, loses connection about once a week for a couple of minutes at most.
The reboot problem is resolved. Those who had it (for months) are waiting for TSI to provide some sort of financial compensation (as they have stated they would).

I just don't get it... how hard is it to negotiate a credit from Bell? i guess pulling teeth is easier...
Awesome. Thanks.
Alright, thanks Phibian, I'll talk with TSI support about this.
Hi Martin,So... It has been another month... Where are we at? We were promised some sort of compensation once the issue was resolved. It has been resolved for a while now.

I think Teksavvy is trying to sweep it under the rug, now that the complaining has stopped from users with this problem.
I got the update to firmware 22.214.171.124R8-wh somewhere before August 1st,and it's been stable since then (currently August 13th).
I've used several of the cellpipe firmware at my place, 188.8.131.52EF-STINGER, 188.8.131.52EF-ISAM, 184.108.40.206R3WH (the rebooting one), and now the 18.104.22.168R8-wh.I've never lost sync on any of them that I've noticed.
If you have firmware 22.214.171.124R3WH you should enter your login into the modem and reboot it. It should then update to 22.214.171.124R8WH at which point the issue appears to be fixed.
It seems others on Bell are on 220.127.116.11R8 as well, although I'm not sure what DSLAMs they're on.In any case I plugged in my extra 184.108.40.206EF-STINGER modem today. We'll see how long it takes to get switched over to 18.104.22.168R8.--Everything Apple
In any case I plugged in my extra 126.96.36.199EF-STINGER modem today. We'll see how long it takes to get switched over to 184.108.40.206R8.
Well, I wasn't sure how storing the extra modem with the 184.108.40.206EF-STINGER firmware disconnected in my closet would help me anyway, because I was thinking it would just eventually get changed over on its own anyway once I plug it in. My other one was 22.214.171.124EF-STINGER as well, and it just got changed automatically to 18.104.22.168R8. I had no login info on the modem either, since I was using another router to do the PPPoE login.Plus, we know that 188.8.131.52R8 is what (at least some) Bell users have as well. I'm thinking Bell is trying to standardize its Cellpipe modem firmware across all SLAMs.I'll check it when I get home. If it hasn't already been changed over to 184.108.40.206R8, I'll make my decision then.When do these firmware updates occur? How are they rolled out?--Everything Apple
If you have no login info, it has its own built in... you have to put in a test@test login, its not externally routable.Thats how you can prevent firmware updates (same with the Sagemcom).
Thanks. Didn't know that.test@test or email@example.com?
username: test@testpassword: test
user test@test & password testNo dot com/net/ca etc.
Thanks. The test login has been entered, and then I've put that unit back into storage. I'm now running my 22.214.171.124R8 unit again. (Not 22.214.171.124R8-wh)I do wonder though if there will be a time in the future that 18.104.22.168EF-STINGER will be incompatible.--Everything Apple
FYI there is a newer firmware version for the Cellpipe. The new version ends with R8.Modem must be in routed modem with a login. Once the modem is authenticated online, it should be able to communicate with the upgrade server. Modem will reboot & voila. should all be automaticThis upgrade was design for the reboot issue.ThanksTSI-Robert
Sorry guys I have posted this in the wrong spot. You guys already know about this upgrade
This thread has a ton of pages, and I don't think I can sift through them all to get some concrete answers.I've had random reboots ever since earlier this year, extremely annoying but I try my best to ignore it. It's become unbearable especially when having work calls drop on me or having big files being dropped because the modem decides to reboot itself.In the recent posts, it seems people have gotten a solution and there was a compensation? I'm still having these problems daily and have no idea how to remedy it.Can someone point me in the right direction?
First off, check the firmware on the modem.If you have it ending with r3, then you'll need to enter your authentication in the modem. Once connected, it'll reboot not too long after. If you check your firmware again it should end with r8.If you already have r8 as your firmware, then there is something else at play that may need to be looked into. Bad sync, bad modem etc.If you could post in the »TekSavvy Direct forum, we can have a look.Martin--TSI Martin (Escalations / Social Media) - TekSavvy Solutions Inc.Authorized TSI employee ( »»TekSavvy FAQ »Official support in the forum )Follow me on Twitter : @TSIMartin

OK Vinh First & foremost, you are on Cable & not DSL.

25-year-old nurse practitioner graduate student Kelcey Buntain has only missed one day of class since last fall. Almost perfect attendance might be expected of graduate students, but it's an exceptional feat considering that Buntain was diagnosed with breast cancer last October and has endured extensive treatments and surgery since then. "I think she is a brave, courageous and determined student," says School of Nursing faculty member Andrea Zimmerman.
Buntain's mother nominated her to walk as part of the Survivor's Parade, a procession of survivors of breast and ovarian cancer, which takes place before the annual Oaks Race at Churchill Downs the Friday before Derby. Vote for Buntain daily (one vote per IP address: per computer, phone or tablet) online here. Voting ends at noon on Monday, March 31.
Buntain has completed four months of chemotherapy and a bilateral mastectomy earlier this month but, according to her professors, returned to class during her recovery despite "significant discomfort," says Zimmerman. Adds nursing faculty member Missy Hawes, "Her perseverance to complete the Family Nurse Practitioner program is inspiring to all students no matter what his or her struggles have been," says
Says Buntain of her journey: "I want to get my story out there to hopefully help other young women going through this."
Vote for Buntain daily through March 31 here by choosing Buntain from the nominee list, or at her personal voting page. Only one vote per IP address is permitted, but voters can vote from multiple devices. Winners will be announced on April 1.

It was FREEZING cold so we didn't get to go through the whole thing :( However, the part we did see was absolutely beautiful. We are planning to go back in February to see the rest! I was a little worried about the will-call tickets b/c I had read a review on here that said they had trouble with that. At first, the ticket lady said she couldn't find our tickets but I showed her my confirmation email and she forked them over :) A beautiful exhibit!

I drilled a hole through our kitchen cabinet. What now?
I am currently in the process of baby-proofing my house, and in the process, I accidentally drilled a 9/32" hole through one of our kitchen cabinets.
They are part of the original townhouse materials, which are about 10 years old. They are a light brown finish.
I'm new to the whole do-it-yourself thing, but I'm slowly learning (with messups, of course). But I was wondering what the best option for me is.
Do I:
Any help is greatly appreciated!
not sure what to tell you to do to fix it but someone on here should. I can tell you that the totlocks you are installing work fabulous. I put them on my kitchen cupboards about 2 months ago and love them.
Wax Crayon
The only thing which will look OK is a wax crayon filler stick. Go to the local hardware store or lumber yard and bring a door to match the color.
It may show a bit, but other than reskining the cabinet, this is the way to go.
Thank you both so much for your fast responses. I'll run up to Home Depot today to pick up the filler stick!
Welcome Jason:
I would try to find out the original cabinet maker and try to buy a new door to match the old.
That failing I would use a plastic wood filler with the wax crayon mentioned by InspectorD to make it match.

Now that Christmas has gone and spring is well on its way, it's time to start thinking of those summer holidays! This year, why not explore the luxurious side of Europe? Here are just five of the fanciest destinations for that perfect, luxury holiday in Europe.
Santorini, Greece
Just the mention of Greece conjures images of serene, white buildings and crystal clear waters. It can be difficult to choose which Greek island to visit, though. For a luxury holiday, I recommend Santorini, renowned for its exquisite views.
Embedded into the very volcanic rocks of the island is the San Antonio hotel, which has been built into a natural cave formation. This hotel is completely unique, with unparalleled views of the ocean, and is only five kilometres from Fira, the capital of Santorini. The island itself offers plenty of entertainment, from Kamari's open air cinema to endless hiking trails.
Florence, Italy
Known for its amazing culture and great cuisine, Italy has a lot to offer. The Hotel Il Salvianto is a five star luxury hotel tucked away in the hamlet of Maiano. Dating back to Medieval times, the 14th century cottage-turned-hotel is situated in Florence, along with the Statue of David, many fascinating museums and breath-taking architecture unlike anywhere else.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona offers literally hundreds of things to do. You could visit the world famous boulevard La Rambla, thriving with street artists, market stalls and human statues, or chill in the sun with a cool cocktail. The Hotel Murmuri is a five star hotel at the very heart of Barcelona, giving you luxury service and one of the busiest cities in Europe at your backdoor.
Geneva, Switzerland
With its sweeping valleys, majestic mountains and breath-taking lakes, Switzerland is the perfect backdrop to your luxury holiday. The second most populated city in Switzerland, Geneva is home to the five star Hotel de la Paix. It has newly renovated luxurious rooms and magnificent architecture, including an astounding jewelled chandelier in the main lobby.
Famous for its incredible party scene, the island – which is just off the coast of Valencia, Spain – has plenty more to offer. A stay in the Agroturismo Atzaro will complete the package. The hotel combines the power of Zen, day-spas and nature and is nestled in the country-side. Or to visit the island in true luxury, consider renting your very own villa offering the privacy and serenity needed for a perfect luxury Ibiza holiday.
So there you have your five ideas for a luxury trip in Europe. Whether you go to the thriving tourist scene of Barcelona, the party scene in Ibiza or prefer to bask in the tranquillity of the Greek islands, Europe is the place to visit this year! Are you planning a luxury, European holiday this year? Tell me all about it in the comments below!

At least three people have been killed and several badly injured in a huge landslide in a rural area of the north-western American state of Washington, officials say.
The landslide destroyed six houses and covered a road near the town of Oso, about 90km (55 miles) north of Seattle.
It was at least 41m (135ft) wide and 54m deep, local authorities said.
They say that two people were killed at the scene and one died in hospital. The injured included a six-month-old boy.
An eyewitness told the Daily Herald that he was driving on the road and had to quickly brake to avoid the mudslide.
"I just saw the darkness coming across the road. Everything was gone in three seconds," Paulo Falcao told the newspaper.
Search-and-rescue help came from across the state, including the Washington State Patrol and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The landslide cut off the city of Darrington and clogged the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, local media reported.
Authorities say the landslide was caused by recent heavy rain.
More rain is expected in parts of Washington on Sunday, and some people have been advised to move to higher ground.

Yogurberry in expansion mode
Mumbai, July 13 (IBNS): Yogurberry, Korea-based natural low-fat yogurt brand, has announced the launch of seven new outlets by the end of 2013 and over 100 outlets across the country over the next five years.
The expansion plan will begin with the opening of stores across Chennai and Bangalore among others.
Besides this, Yogurberry will continue to open stores in cities already present like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai.
After establishing the network, the company said it will roll out its outlets in tier II and III cities as well.
The South Korean firm has set up its operations in India through Dubai-based master franchisee -- Synergy Holdings.
To extend its retail footprint further in the region, it has tied up with Raasha Leisure & Entertainment as the area franchisee for Northern & Eastern region of India and Tack Food & Beverages for Western region.
Pawan Batavia, Synergy Holdings partner said, "Consumers in the metros lead a hectic lifestyle and are in search of healthier quick meal alternatives to replace the traditional 'meal-to-go'.
"The acquaintance of customers with concepts such as low-fat, probiotic and healthy living is giving health Quick Service Restaurant segment an identity of its own. We plan to spend Rs 50 crores this financial year to expand quickly."
"We have tweaked our menu, based on Indian tastes. Although the basic concept and most of the menu items remains the same, we have introduced special 'Yogurt Sundaes' and 'Special Smoothies' based on local taste and toppings, which we feel would be more popular for Indian market," he said.
In keeping with the current trends, Yogurberry will use social media and online marketing as a major tool of promotions for the Indian youth.
Batavia said, "We have designed an iPad software for Yogurberry where customers can like us or give live feedback and post it to our Facebook or twitter page. It will also enable them to upload the pictures or videos of them having a good time at the Yogurberry store and win free gifts."
Yogurberry Frozen Yogurt contains 0 grams of fat and no trans fat, or cholesterol compared to normal ice creams, and guarantees low calories by using only Fruit Sugar.

And that adds fuel to our fears The pic you've put up represents the spirit of all those Bengaluru' professionals! Perhaps a stable WiFi/WiMAX network in Kerala would help people work from home/elsewhere more and thus reduce their proximity to potential blast sites! I've been reading your SEO blog for long speaks highly of you! He's a school-buddy of mine, btw. Eagerly waiting to see you at BlogCamp!

House Music
House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the American city of Chicago, Illinois in the early 1980s. It was initially popularized in mid-1980s discothèques catering to African-Americans[1][2] and Latinos[1][2] in Chicago circa 1984. From 1985 onwards, it began to fan out to other cities such as Detroit, Toronto, New York City, Montreal, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Manchester, Miami, London, and Paris. It then reached and began to influence popular music in Europe as a whole, with pop chart hits such as "House Nation" by House Master Boyz and the Rude Boy Of House (1987) and "Doctorin' The House" by Coldcut (1988). Since the early to mid-1990s, house music has been infused in mainstream pop and dance music worldwide. Early house music was generally dance-based music characterized by repetitive 4/4 beats and rhythms centered around drum machines,[3] off-beat hi-hat cymbals and synthesized basslines. While house displayed several characteristics similar to disco music, it was more electronic and minimalistic,[4] and the structured music's focus around a repetitive rhythm was more important than the song itself. House music today, while keeping several of these core elements, notably the prominent kick drum on every beat, varies a lot in style and influence, ranging from the soulful and atmospheric deep house, to the more minimalistic microhouse. House music has also fused with several other genres creating fusion subgenres, such as Euro house and tech house.[4] House music, after enjoying significant underground and club-based success in Chicago from the early 1980s onwards, emerged into the UK mainstream pop market in the mid-to-late 80s. Popularity quickly followed in the rest of Europe, and it became a global phenomenon from the early-to-mid 90s onwards.[3] It proved to be a commercially successful genre and a more mainstream pop-based variation grew increasingly popular. Artists and groups such as Madonna,[3][4] Janet Jackson,[5] Björk, and C+C Music Factory[3][4] incorporated the genre into their work. After enjoying significant success in the early to mid-90s, house music grew even larger during the second wave of Progressive House (1999–2001). The genre still remains popular and fused into other subgenres which are popular, as the DJ mag poll has been dominated by House DJs since the beginning of the polls. In Europe, the genre remains highly popular into the 2000s, with groups and artists such as Daft Punk[3] and Justice performing in the genre, and obtaining commercial success and critical acclaim.[3] In the 2000s, a house subgenre known as electro house achieved popularity. Today, house music remains popular in both clubs and in the mainstream pop scene. As at 2012 House has continued to be a popular style of music, evident by DJ David Guetta claiming the #1 Poll position of the DJ Mag 100 popularity poll. David Guetta often plays various styles of House such as Electro House, Melodic House, and Pop House[6]

Does comcast allow vpns. I need one for when I go over seas so I can watch netflix and I hear the private vpns are the way to go when dealing with the great firewall of china also I dont want to fork over 49.99+ to witopia for a service that may or may not work depending on how aggressive the Chinese are with blocking them. I am also switching to business class before I leave
nothing against a vpn.....
»Comcast High Speed Internet FAQ »Can I connect to VPN using my service?
You can certainly run a VPN service on your Comcast connection. I have done so in the past using a residential connection, and I currently run both IPSEC and PPTP VPN servers on my business class connection.The only problem I have occasionally seen is that some public hot spots and corporate networks may block outgoing VPN connections. That is why I run both IPSEC and PPTP servers, since I have found that sometimes only one of those methods were blocked.If you do switch to a business class service, I would suggest that you get at least one static IP address, because I have also run into cases where some DDNS domains were blocked by corporate firewalls (and I would not be surprised if the great firewall of China also did this).--History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.-- Dwight D. EisenhowerThe tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.-- Thomas Jefferson
»Comcast High Speed Internet FAQ »Can I connect to VPN using my service?
Comcast permits the use of VPN connections so long as they are used in accordance with our applicable terms of service and policies, including, but not limited to, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Comcast does not provide technical or other support for VPN connections. For help setting up, using, or troubleshooting your VPN connection, please contact your VPN provider.
Thanks because of the aggressive blocking in china I was going to run both ipsec and PPTP so I should be ok. At least now I know I can do this thanks

"I wanted to like this..."
I really wanted to like this; it had been recommended to me by 2 people whose recommendations I usually love. However, it didn't quite do it for me. I found the structure of the story -- a retelling of history from one person to another - was a bit contrived, and I don't think successful in this application. i kept hoping it would take flight, but i never felt that it did. I found the narrator contributed to this too - not the best choice for this story.
"so pleasantly surprised!"
I put this on my wish list some time ago, and can't really remember why. I began it recently when I realized it was the only book I had downloaded, and was about to board a long flight. I am so glad I did! It was a wonderful story, and wonderfully narrated. It is one of those books where I find I am missing the characaters now that I have finished it. I had not heard of Jess Walter previously, but will learn more now.
"pretty good; had me hooked"
I was very intrigued with the story line, but did not feel a particular attachment to the characters.
"Amazing! My new favorite book."
I absolutely loved this book. The story was riveting, the characters were dimensional and fascinating, and the story telling was absolutely amazing. I have recommended it to anyone who asks.
"love a good tough girl story"
Great book; brave woman; a little self absorbed, but she knows that, I think. Overall though -- incredibly inspiring.
"heartbreaking; heartwarming"
wow -- such a powerful story. Loved it. Made me cry, smile, and be grateful.
"great story; good for providing some perspective"
Really enjoyed this book; well written, clever story line, and very well crafted. HIghly recommend.
"Riveting story"
I enjoyed this book immensely. The characters were rich and interesting and the story writing was wonderful. I highly recommend.
not worth the listen. It was slow, predictable and the characters were flat. I would not recommend it.
"a tender story"
I absolutely loved this book. The characters were so rich and the narrative so descriptive. A wonderful story about a terrible time in our history. Highly recommend it.

Shambhala Sun | January 2011You'll find this article on page 49 of the magazine.
A sampling of current research on the benefits of mindfulness for body and mind
chronic pain patients following the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
program at the University of Massachusetts Medical School reported less
present-moment pain, less difficulty with physical activity, and fewer
medical symptoms than those following traditional pain treatment.
recent Swedish study found that the practice of Mindfulness-Based
Cognitive Therapy caused a 42% reduction in the primary symptoms of
irritable bowel syndrome.
Binge eaters who took part in mindful eating programs at
Duke University and Indiana State University reduced the frequency of
their binging by approximately 75%. They also reduced their levels of
insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.
from the University of Manchester and the University of Montreal found
compelling evidence that people who meditate have a higher pain
threshold in comparison to people who dont meditate.
the University of Washington, patients in recovery for substance abuse
took part in a Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention program. Two months
later, they reported 50% lower substance abuse levels and significantly
less craving than the group in regular treatment.
study from the Cleveland Clinic reported that mindfulness practice
decreased negative emotions and increased well-being in people with
risk-factors for coronary artery disease.
meditation helps people with multiple sclerosis cope with the
depression, fatigue, and anxiety associated with the disease, reports a
Swiss study in the September 2010 issue of Neurology.
with clinically depressed patients in remission, a study at Oxford
University found that only 36 per cent of patients in Mindfulness-Based
Cognitive Therapy eventually relapsed, compared 62 per cent of patients
in traditional cognitive therapy.

no "bass management" option in creative audigy 2 zs notebook software
So I recently tried installing my old Creative Audigy 2 ZS notebook (pcmia) card into my Lenovo t400. I then tried using the sound card with my Logitech Z-5500 speakers without a control pod since it broke. I used this cord instead of the pod:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices.
Everything works except the sub woofer, there is zero sound coming from it. Ive looked in many other forums and they say to activate a "bass management" option however this option doesn't exist in any of the software provided (Creative Audio Console was the only software installed after I installed the driver). I downloaded the Windows 7 compatible Creative driver from Creative's website and tried reinstalling everything with no luck. I also tried installing other applications provided by Creative hoping that this bass management option would show itself. I have Windows 7 32 bit. Help!

Moebius (Jean Giraud) is one of those artists that influenced the comics of all the creators you love. His work is rarely found in the US, and when it is, it's often horribly expensive. This second printing of the Classic Collection of The Incal is a hefty $44.95, but it is flying off the shelves of your local comic book store and off the virtual shelves of the internet. And for good reason! You can see the influences of this book all over science fiction. The Incal is a visual and imaginative masterpiece. Written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and drawn by Moebius, it builds fantastical worlds and weaves a story of universal and reality-shattering importance.
The story itself is hard to encapsulate. John DiFool, a Class R Private Detective in a degenerate urban human city, stumbles into possession of the Incal and starts on the road to galactic importance. The White Incal he obtains is a small luminescent pyramid which is actually half of a whole - the Black Incal is in the hands of the Technopriests, who are using it for their own sinister purposes. John's bumbling journey to combine the two Incals, followed by the quest to save the galaxy from an overpowering Darkness, brings John in contact with the legendary bounty hunter the Metabaron, the aptly named thug Kill Wolfhead, the two sisters who guard the Incals, Animah and Tanatah, his unknown androgynous son Solune, and his loyal friend and concrete bird Deepo.
It seems to be generally accepted that Jodorowsky's story is a bit misshapen and occasionally feverish, moving from point to point with little hint at an overarching grand scheme. The characters sometimes seem to speak with the same voice, and there's not much time spent on the interests and desires of anyone other than our protagonist, John DiFool. The writing is filled with brilliantly unique ideas – an interior sun within Center Earth, crystal forests that sing when even one crystal is touched, a planet entirely made of ocean where the inhabitants survive by allowing giant medusa jellyfish to encompass their bodies. The sheer multitude of concepts packed into this book can be almost overwhelming at times, but those ideas make the universe of The Incal as expansive as it is.
The Incal's underlying emphasis on the seeming power of the androgynous is one of the most interesting themes in the book. While femininity and masculinity are certainly explored and addressed through different relationships, The Incal implies that androgyny is either a result of or a prerequisite for power and wisdom. Even John DiFool, normally drawn as very base and even ugly at times, takes on a more androgynous look when he is inhabited by the Incal.
Something that I found extremely interesting was the subtle change in pacing that happens in the last third of the book. For the most part, the paneling of The Incal is very compressed – large panels and splash pages are reserved for important moments which make for a greater impact to the reader. In the last third of the collection, Moebius takes his art to the bleed, right to the edge of the page. It's almost startling how much this opens up things up. And within the setting of the story, it's perfect timing. For me, the last third of the story was the most engrossing, as you see the battle for the state of the universe unfold while John's spinelessness clashes against what seems to be a grander destiny. This is all magnified by the decompression of the last act, and the increased amount of art for each page as it goes to the bleed.
The Incal is a beautiful book. Jodorowsky's writing is frantic and discombobulated, but the quality of the ideas that make up the universe is overwhelmingly great. Moebius' art continues to stun and amaze, as each page sculpts breathtaking worlds and stunning expression of the psyche. The Incal was inspiring when it was first published in the early 80s, and it's a testament to the book itself that it still continues to serve as inspiration nearly 30 years later.The Incal Jean Giraud Moebius GIR Alejandro Jodorowsky Novi Rachel rachelvice

Why isn't the software in your (and our's in OOSA) gambling parlors as reliable as at the racetrack? I know.
Whereas parimutual betting is an honorable form of wagering, tested over 100+ years, yours is a rigged
game. When the rules are constantly being changed, it's hard for the programmers to keep up. Y'all need to
go to gambler's treatment, or something. Maybe jump off a high story, hang, shoot, or self immolate yourselves.
let me count the errors…. will not reopen Monday… no, maybe you are confoosed about Tuesday being a non-settlement day due to public holiday in Victoria…. in midst of takeover from Singapore…. no that is dead in the water, the live issue is the launch of a rival exchange on Monday…..
I congratulate, remarkable idea and it is duly

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2005 HL Cabernet Sauvignon shows intense dark color –
one of the darkest we've ever produced. Initially a little closed
on the nose, yet with aeration the wine unleashes deep black
cherry, currents, coffee, mocha, and black licorice aromas
typical of our wines. This vintage also shows a little pencil lead
and minerality, with classic current and cassis in the nose.
Winemaker Michael Trujillo suggests that "by the fall of this
year, and even as the wine evolves in the glass, the 2005 HL
Cabernet Sauvignon should relax and open up a little and the
"wow" of this juicy wine will become more apparent. In the palate there is a terrific focus of rich bright fruits and a wonderful structure. On the one hand this wine has lots of depth and is almost
muscular, but on the other it is delicate yet lush with loads of bright red fruits."
The seven acre Herb Lamb Vineyard is located on the ridge of a small valley facing Howell Mountain, just east of St. Helena in the northern Napa Valley. This valley opens on the west directly towards Calistoga and pulls weather from the North Bay marine climate, offering cooling evening fog and morning breezes.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon
