Eleven miners were initially trapped when the entrance to the
mine in San Juan Arriba was suddenly blocked off by the
landslide last Wednesday (local time).
Rescuers freed three of the miners on Friday but held out
little hope for the other eight, despite slow-moving efforts
over the weekend to find them.
"The search and rescue operation has been definitively
suspended due to the danger of further landslides in the
mine. We can't risk more lives," said emergency services
spokesman Ulises Alvarado.
Emergency workers said they smelled foul odors coming from
the mine during a search on Friday.
Officials said the mine, about 110km south of the Central
American nation's capital Tegucigalpa, had been ordered to
close a few months ago because it was unsafe.
The incident occurred in a drought-stricken region of
Honduras that was once a gold mining center for Spanish
colonists. The rise in gold prices in recent years had
spurred dozens of small mines to open in the area.

Leica Microsystems received FDA approval for its fully automated Leica Bond Oracle Her2 IHC assay used with the Leica Bond-Max™ instrumentation. The semiquantiative immunohistochemical test is designed to determine Her2 status in breast cancer on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples.
In trials the Leica Bond Oracle Her2 IHC test achieved 2x2 concordance of 87.6% and a positive agreement of 93.8% with the Abbott Molecular PathVysion Her2 DNA Probe kit, which is the current gold-standard for assessing Her2 status, Leica says. "The Leica Bond Oracle Her2 HIC system is validated as a fully automated Her2 IHC test, and delivers the diagnostic confidence that comes with proven Her2 FISH concordance," states Arnd Kaldowski, Leica's president. "With the Oracle system, laboratories also obtain the speed and efficiencies of the Leica Bond-Max instrumentation, delivering more effective workflow management."

Another Day, Another Soda Study continued...
"It was just an abstract presented at a meeting. It hasn't even been published yet," Gardener tells WebMD. "We are still working on the analysis. I don't think the level of press attention it received would have been warranted even if it was a published paper."
Gardener's team attempted to control for known heart attack and stroke risk factors, such as poor diet and lack of exercise, but she concedes that these factors could have influenced the findings.
Purdue University behavioral sciences professor Susan Swithers. PhD, had a similar experience in 2004, following the publication of her study in rats suggesting that no-calorie sweeteners like those in diet sodas increase appetite.
Swithers says she was shocked by the amount of news coverage her study received.
"Frankly, we were stunned," she tells WebMD. "It really was a small study."
Weighty Issue
The nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) sees sugary drinks as a major factor in the obesity epidemic and favors taxing them.
CSPI executive director Michael Jacobson, PhD, says sugary soft drinks deserve to be singled out in the battle against obesity because they are the biggest single source of empty calories in the American diet.
"According to the USDA, 16% of calories in the typical American's diet come from refined sugars and half of those calories come from beverages with added sugar," Jacobson says. "Sodas used to be an occasional treat, but now they are part of the culture."
New York University professor of nutrition and food studies Marion Nestle, PhD, says there is plenty of evidence that sodas have contributed to America's growing girth, especially among children.
Nestle says pediatricians who treat overweight children tell her that many of their patients take in 1,000 to 2,000 calories a day from soft drinks alone.
"Some children drink sodas all day long," she says. "They are getting all of the calories they need in a day from soft drinks, so it's no wonder they are fat."
"The first thing that anyone should do if they are trying to lose weight," Nestle says, "is eliminate or cut down on soft drinks."

Re: Zero Consumer Debt filing for Bk can I keep any of my 16 cards
Since you have zero balance on the cards, I would close the accounts with a zero balance before filing BK. This will look much better to the creditor since you don't have a balance with them. As to the ones that you haven't activated yet, I would NOT activate them prior to filing at all. Call and tell them you want to close the account.
This will put you in much better position after you are discharged because you won't have "burned" those creditors in the BK. Believe me, it is easier to go back and get an account with a creditor from which you had no prior balance after you are discharged.

Small drop in Egypt's unemployment
Egypt's unemployment rate saw a minor decline of 0.1 per cent in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter, reaching 12.5 per cent, the state-run statistics agency CAPMAS stated on Wednesday.
The number of unemployed is 3.3 million out of 27 million people represented in the labour force.
According to CAMPAS, around 90 per cent of the jobless people are educated and 16.3 per cent of them are located in urban areas, while rural districts witnessed some 9.5 per cent unemployment.
The quarterly report added that 27 per cent of working people (6.4 million) are in farming and fishing, while 12 per cent are working in the construction and building sector (2.8 million).
The total number of working Egyptians in the third quarter of 2012 was 23.6 million.

Campus Resources:
AVC has a range of options to choose from when it comes to campus resources. There are bulletin boards everywhere that display plenty of information. The student center is a resource gold mine. The athletic department will help you figure out anything you want to know about any and all things sports related on campus.
Campus Resources:
The computer lab could use some updating but overall it gets the job done.
Career Services:
they are really helpful and take their time to really see what the students points of interests are and they make you go through this crazy process that gives great results, I know they have helped me big time and I am thankful for it
Online Courses:
I have never taking an online course so i have no experience to share
Academic Experience:
they dont have the major I want but I have to get an A.A. in something similar to what I want to do so that I can transfer, there was not specific program just a list of courses that needed to be taken and it was pretty straight forward
Academic Experience:
The class registrations is stressful Priority registration really isn't priority and the server is very slow. professor are great some of them at least I have rant into a few that i have wondered how or why they even became teachers,
Overall Experience:
I had a very rough start but as I persevere it got easy and I got encouraged to keep pursuing my dream, everything else was just situational and there is always something you can do about it, its just a matter of what are you wiling to do to make your dreams come true
Academic Flexibility:
from my personal experience it is not easy to schedule classes this campus is not very flexible, they have cut many classes and are very limited with their staffing that i have to shuffle everything around me to make time for it
Student Body:
The student body is extremely diverse which is a great thing you meet people from various ethnic backgrounds, political affiliations, religions and sexual preferences. Im not sure if is a good thing or a bad one but no one really cares for that, for example if your gay they wont care at all they are very accepting and you can make friends with anyone, but of course there's gotta be something in common as well
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Tuition is very expensive even for part-time students, costs have risen and it's really hard for student to keep up, it makes it hard on all student because financial aid is very strict not everyone qualifies and slows down the time in which you complete your degree.
Campus Quality:
This campus really focuses in the science and I must say I love the new facility and the programs they have I am a kinesiology major and most schools you go to do not have state of the art equipment and we do, that really makes me work hard and put this tools to good used I truly believe this campus is one of the best in science
Campus Resources:
They have a lot of great student services, and strive for student success however they are limited with financial resources and staff. A great example would be the athletic center. They have extremely old equipment and is all put together in a very small room (very crowded) making it difficult for a class of 30 students to succeed. The library facility is great but it lacks enforcement, as a library it should a quite place for student to be able to study without interruptions and it's not the case at our library. The campus aesthetics are improving with the introduction of state of the art football field, performing arts center, and the science center, but all other are lacking, and it remains very old and problematic for students
Campus Resources:
This campus is the worst with the computer network. They offer wifi but you must get a contract with AT&T and pay a monthly fee, and even if you did the wireless signal is limited, only some sections of the campus offers it. However they have various places in which you can access a computer to do homework, and print, but since this is a greatly impacted college sometimes it can be a challenge
Campus Quality:
The school campus is overal a good school. There could be some improvment but i'm not here to jugde. The school has alot of spirt and alot of activity for fun and many other reasons.
Student Body:
The students at my school are very social, alot go the centers for aid and getting work done. Many students go to the library for research and so time of peace. Some people are easy with and other not some much. The school is mixed in many way. Some are good, others bad, and everything in between. The school is a great school in my hafe a year. Can't wait to see more.
Overall Experience:
So far as a freshman in colege i like the school and the Prof. and the aid i get to know about college life and how to work it. I had a bad start but i get.
Campus Resources:
the school is pretty spacious, well the main campus is anyway! When school first started I went over to the Lancaster campus just to see what it looked like and I have to say that I wished that I registered all of my classes to be over there. Over at the palmdale campus it is extermly tight. it almost reminds me of an old apartment building. What makes things worse is that people on the first floor smokes cigarettes with out a care so as you are going up the stairs, you get hit by the smell of cigaretts and I just dont like that. Especially considering my asthma.
Career Services:
the people here are pretty nice, although, it does seem as if they just want to move on to next person as quickly as possible. sometimes I might pick up an attitude from some of the workers but other than that the majority is pretty nice. (:
Campus Resources:
again I am new here but overall everything seems fine.
Campus Resources:
its okay! I mean I am kind of new here but the things I do use like the library computers and the student lounge seems to be pretty neat.
Campus Resources:
There are maps everywhere, they have brochures and flyers explaining what each office can do for the students, and when speaking to someone they are precise on where to go. Most student services are found in the same building.
Academic Experience:
It was okay, classes can be really difficult to get sometimes but I have had priority so it has helped
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Due to the area I live in, where there are tons of people on welfare, receiving financial aid can be extremely difficult. So many of these people enroll in classes just long enough to receive aid, and any other benefits they can, and then after two weeks, they drop.
Student Body:
The students are not very involved. Although there are plenty of clubs, not many students take interest. Because it is a community college, the age range is highly diverse.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The tuition is okay. Units are $46, but there are also a few mandatory fees, like the student representative fee, but they don't tell you straight up.

THE RACIAL DIVIDE; As Black Men Move Into Middle Age, Dangers Rise
Published: September 23, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
Dr. Jean Bonhomme, president of the National Black Men's Health Network, a nonprofit advocacy and education organization in Atlanta, calls this trait ''pathological stoicism,'' a problem he sees even in himself.
''African-American men have had to deal with tremendous hardships and not complain, because complaining didn't help,'' Dr. Bonhomme said. ''Now we push ourselves to distorted extremes without asking for help in order to 'be a man.' It is a matter of pride to brush off pain. Several years ago, I injured my back so badly that I could hardly walk. My wife saw me drop to my knees in order to get out of a chair, and said to me, 'What the hell are you doing?' I looked at myself and realized how crazy I was being.''
Norman Jackson, who is 49 and and lives in Detroit, knew diabetes ran in his family, but avoided seeing a doctor because the visits made him feel ''vulnerable.'' Even though he was often thirsty, was urinating frequently and his vision changed so much that he said he could hardly see to drive, he insisted there was nothing wrong. Finally, about two years ago, Mr. Jackson was tested for diabetes and high blood pressure at a health screening sponsored by the African American Initiative for Male Health Improvement. He found that he had both.
''My father was diabetic and I knew I should get my sugar checked out, but I didn't want to feel weak,'' said Mr. Jackson, who now takes medication to control both his blood sugar and blood pressure and also exercises and watches his diet. ''Eventually, I realized that this is dangerous, and you can't mess around with your health. I haven't neglected myself since.''
While access to treatment is one problem, there are also problems with the treatment African-American men actually receive. Last spring, the Institute of Medicine reported on a review of more than 100 studies, and the findings were startling: even when African-Americans and other minorities have the same incomes, insurance coverage and medical conditions as whites, they receive notably poorer care. Biases, prejudices and negative racial stereotypes, the panel learned, may be poisoning the reaction of doctors and other health providers.
''Some of the most esteemed scientists in the world proved that medical care is not being dished out fairly,'' said Dr. James W. Reed, a professor of medicine at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta and a co-author of ''The Black Man's Guide to Good Health: Essential Advice for African-American Men and Their Families.'' ''White men were referred for sophisticated procedures like cardiac catheterization three or four times more frequently than blacks with the same symptoms at a V.A. hospital, where ability to pay doesn't matter.
''Is it overt racism? I don't know,'' Dr. Reed continued. ''Maybe it's more subtle, like physicians don't think blacks will adhere to therapy. But in the final analysis, whatever the definition, it is still discrimination based solely on skin color.''
PERHAPS the most puzzling part of the equation has to do with high blood pressure, a major contributor to heart disease, stroke and many other diseases. It strikes one-third of all black men, and is twice as deadly for blacks as it is for whites. Interestingly, West Africans, from whom most American blacks are descended, have low rates of hypertension. Some experts suggest that stress and societal racial discrimination that black men (and women) suffer in this country play a major role. During a stressful incident, the body produces adrenaline and the heart rate and blood pressure increase. Experts speculate that constant engaging of a fight-or-flight mechanism by racial insults can contribute to chronically elevated blood pressure.
Public and private institutions are pushing to close the racial gap in health disparities. The bulk of programs and projects for African-Americans, however, are aimed at women. A survey of state health departments by Dr. Ronald L. Braithwaite, the director of the Center for Research on Health Disparities at Emory University, found that few were specifically for African-American men's health.
For instance, Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health 2010, an initiative of the federal Centers for Disease Control, was created to finance community coalitions with the goal of eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health over the next decade. But the majority of its 42 programs are either not gender-specific or are aimed at African-American women and children. ''The communities were allowed to choose health priority areas, and none said just African-American men,'' said Dr. Imani Ma'at, director of the program. ''Women are the ones who are involved in the health care system, present at schools and in churches, so they are an easier group to reach out to and communicate with.''
STILL, there are some programs to specifically improve the health of black men. In addition to the screening program Mr. Jackson saw in Detroit and Project Brotherhood, the African-American Male Empowerment Network offers support groups and a 10-week health promotion and disease prevention course to men in the Atlanta area. The Young Men's Clinic, a joint project of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and New York Presbyterian Hospital, provides free medical care to mainly black and Hispanic patients.
''Traditional approaches often don't work with black men,'' said Dr. Braithwaite, who is a co-editor of the book ''Health Issues in the Black Community.'' ''There is an increasing recognition that we have to go to the pockets of critical mass. That means going to where men convene.''
The Detroit project sends a medical van into black communities and has screened nearly 8,000 men over the last few years. On Sept. 7, about 2,000 people, mostly black men, attended the first annual Health Initiative for Men, a prostate cancer walk and health summit in Atlanta.
Finally, many African-American men have simply decided to beat the odds and take responsibility for their health. Nathaniel Plowden, a supervisor for U.P.S. in Atlanta, became strict about scheduling annual physicals when his father received a diagnosis with advanced prostate cancer 16 years ago. Thanks to his vigilance, his prostate cancer was caught early, and he considers himself recovered. He and other family members are now part of a clinical trial looking for hereditary causes of prostate cancer in black men.
''My father took care of himself, but he never went to the doctor,'' said Mr. Plowden, who is 54. ''He was in severe pain by the time he saw someone and by then we found out his cancer was very advanced. What happened to him spurred me into continuing to go to the doctor. The notion of being dumb and happy never motivated me. I want to know what's going on so I can deal with it.''

Since December 21 - which may have been when I upgraded to v3.1.5 - I have lost some functionality in my Media upload window and when trying to use the Edit Media function. These issues persist with all plugins deactivated - and even after upgrading this morning to v3.1.6 (for which, merci beaucoup, @Nikeo). I'm using the latest version of WP and running offline in a MAMP environment.
Here's a screen grab of my Media library window, showing that the preview images stopped displaying on Dec 21.
And here's a screen grab of the Edit Media window - which wrongly states that the media doesn't exist.
Also missing from both windows are the image dimensions (which are still correctly shown for all images uploaded before December 21).
Notwithstanding this inconvenience, I am still able to place newly uploaded images on my pages and sliders and they display correctly when I preview the pages in my browser.
The only CustomizIt Images Option I have enabled is Enable/disable lightbox effect on images.
Is this a known bug? I would be grateful to know if there is a cure. TIA.

(1918-88). The influential U.S. physicist Richard Feynman was corecipient of the 1965 Nobel prize in physics for work in correcting inaccuracies in earlier quantum-electrodynamics formulations. He introduced simple diagrams-now called Feynman diagrams-to depict complicated mathematical expressions needed to describe systems of interacting particles. His work, which tied together all the varied phenomena at work in light, radio, electricity, and magnetism, altered the way scientists understand the nature of waves and particles. Famed for his wit, he also wrote best-selling books on science.

I can see there is a 72px padding for the pages. That looks really good and it makes the site nice.
However: I have set up a blog page. It is on the menu bar and when you click on it,it goes to my latest post.
It still acts as a page and therefore puts the white padding in and then does the first blog post. So I have a white gap between the header and the image.
I think I have seen the CSS which controls the padding. I do not want to get rid of it as it's nice.
I've tried making a different template for the blog page and putting in CSS to get rid of it but that did not work.
Any advice? All I want is people to access my blog through a menu item and go to the post without seeing a white space.

A 32-year-old Westbrook woman was sentenced Thursday to 70 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for her role in a takeover-style bank robbery in Killingworth last year.
Jennifer Jacques was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven, according to a statement from Acting U.S. Attorney Deirdre M. Daly.
On Aug. 6, 2012, Jacques drove Marcus Dwyer and Dario Pabey to the TD Bank on Route 81 in Killingworth, authorities said. Dwyer and Pabey entered the bank wearing masks and held employees and customers at gunpoint while ordering an employee to open the bank vault. The pair also used zip ties to tie the hands of one bank employee and robbed patrons of their wallets, cellphones and car keys.
The two men forced one patron out of the bank and left with $43,573 in cash in the patron's car, later meeting Jacques at a preplanned location, authorities said.
In September 2012, after an indictment charging Dwyer and Pabey had been returned, Jacques traveled to New York to meet Dwyer, who was a fugitive from justice, and drove him to Connecticut, records show.
Dwyer was captured by the FBI and state police in New London on Sept. 19, 2012.
On Oct.17, 2012, Jacques pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery. Dwyer and Pabey pleaded guilty to the same charge and were sentenced to prison terms of 188 months and 180 months, respectively.

What is funny is that I never reflected on this.
This blog is all about ripples in space and time.
From this first picture on this blog…
Genealogy begins as an interest
becomes a hobby
continues as a vocation
takes over as an obsession
and in its last stages
is an incurable disease.
Someone once wrote that.
So true.
How would someone be writing a blog about dead people since 2009?
Two blogs in fact, one in French which started in January 2008, and this one in English you are now reading.
I am getting closer to a thousand posts on this blog. This is not by all means a goal I am setting for moi…
Yesterday, I received a notification from WordPress…
A 1000 likes on Souvenirs de guerre.
Sailors going home
Being curious led me to find my ancestors and their descendants whenever possible. Some missions were impossible, others I believe were impossible.
These two pictures come from Michael who was searching for his birthmother in 2010.
Michael had few clues, but I decided to have a look. Little by little I would give him updates on my search, and feed him some information on where to look or who he might contact.
And contact he did… finding his birthmother's relatives who shared all these old pictures…
Writing blogs begins as an interest
becomes a hobby
continues as a vocation
takes over as an obsession
and in its last stages

If you're not, then don't start.
1861 census page
This is post 935.
Little did I know, back in July 2007, when my brother brought me pictures to scan, that I would find so many lost ancestors.
Honoré Sauvé and Julie Leroux
Kenogenini Mentosaky was one of them.
Kenogenini look alike with little Marie Dufault look alike on her back
Little Marie Dufault was 89 in 1861.
She was living with her husband Antoine Trudeau in Beloeil.
Marie is the daughter of Louis Dufault and Kenogenini Mentosaky aka Marie-Louise Brunelle.
I have no picture to show you, only look alikes.
Did I write that this was post 935?
Post 936…
I stand corrected.
Are you into blogging?
Brother and sister reuniting Rose and moi.
No pictures, just images from parish registers or census pages.
I could go on and on with all I found about Rose and moi, but I have invited Rose as an editor on my private Ancestry tree so she can indulge in her own ancestors.
Next time, who also has Ojibwe blood.
Call it self-control if you want.
I could have posted this last Sunday with my other post.
I am not related at all with the people on that slideshow.
Strange isn't?
This picture was shared with me in 2009, and it started my obsession with old pictures.
I had to know who these people were, and I had to write about them on a blog.
Write I did, and practically everyone on that picture was later identified starting with the patriarch Jean-Marie Hogue…
His son Arthur Hogue…
His second wife on the right… and his brother Napoléon Hogue on the left…
His son Adonis Hogue on his mother's lap…
Yes, he's a boy.
Corinne, Jean-Marie's daughter, with her two hands on her lap…
I could go on and on, and bore you to death about this extended family seen on a wedding picture taken on April 14,1909, in Malborough, Massachusetts, but I won't.
Call it self-control if you want.
Jean-Marie Hogue, a French-Canadian, emigrated to the U.S., and worked most of his life in a shoe factory.

Flipping Vegas
Do not --repeat: DO NOT ever waste an hour of your time watching this stupid show.
Scott Yancey is a slime ball; his wife Amie is . . . I don't know what she is, but I wouldn't want her picking my backsplash.
If you're ever in the market for a home in Vegas, and you learn it's a Flip, being sold by the Yanceys, run. Run fast and long.
I spent some years in Real Estate when I lived in Virginia, and there is a lot that I don't understand about these Real Estate Flips. Sometimes it's almost like there aren't any laws governing Real Estate sales.
One thing that puzzles me is termites. I'm forever seeing that couple on Flip or Flop buy houses that are eaten up with termites. In Virginia, you can not sell a house without a termite inspection and a certificate certifying that the house is free of the pests. The "termite certificate" is a part of the closing package, and it has to be dated within 30 days of the closing. For California to be the highly regulated state that it is, I don't understand how they let something like no termite inspection slip by.
Un-permitted additions to homes is another thing I see all the time. How come you don't know that before you buy the house? That's costly. If you've bought what you think is a 2,200 sq ft house, only to find out that 600 sq ft of it is either going to have to be torn down or you're going to spend months upon expensive months wrangling with the city/county getting a permit for the add-on, and then bringing the property up to code, you've lost money before you're out of the gate.
Anyway, all that's neither here nor there.
Avoid Flipping Vegas at all costs.
July 14 at 20:23 EST .
Thanks for the warning. I too am suspicious of a lot of these "flipping" shows. I think Bob Massi the Property Man on FBN is pretty informative, though it's not about flipping as much as legal advice and getting out of trouble on real estate deals.

Since Bob Massi is based in Vegas, I wonder how many of Yancey's buyers have gone to Massi for advice after they buy a defective house from Yancey?
It's against the law to knowingly market a house with defects.
I don't know for a fact, but I'm willing to bet that statement in some form is a part of every real estate code in every state in this nation.
The way that Flippers get around that is to avoid "knowing" anything about possible defects: that would include not taking a Flip House down to the studs to find out if the wiring or plumbing is defective/up to code, or not testing for lead paint or asbestos in houses that are over a certain age.
I suspect that is exactly how the Yanceys conduct their business. If you buy a house from them and it has defects that turn up later, say defective plumbing that should have been replaced [–usually there is a statute of limitations from date of purchase to reporting defects], all Yancey has to do is say he didn't know the pipes were bad because they were behind a wall and he didn't open the wall.
The house I saw him flip on the one show I watched, should have been taken down to the studs, every bit of drywall removed and replaced. I don't even want to think of what the buyers are probably going to face in a few years, based on what I saw, but Yancey was more interested in yelling at the Mexicans and mugging for the camera.

I often make a 900-mile round trip to far southwest Texas and audio books are essential. I had run out of anything current, so dug out an unopened, 12-disc, unabridged "All Creatures Great and Small". I've seen the television series, read the book and had heard the condensed CD set many years ago. But, I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting James and Tristan and Siegfried all over again during the last two long trips. Give it a try even if the stories are familiar.

The Vet Life follows veterinarians Dr. Diarra Blue, Dr. Aubrey Ross and Dr. Michael Lavigne, who recently moved to Houston to open a full-service veterinarian hospital and animal shelter together. The series captures the doctors' lives as they juggle running a new business while managing their family life filled with spouses, parents, in-laws, children, pets and friends, as well as their intense moments saving the lives of animals at their clinic.

Sarah Sees Potential starts 6/13. Decorating. I only see 3 episodes listed at DirecTV, but hopefully there will be more. The show originally aired in 2013 and I never saw this series. She films for Canadian HGTV. She Is Wonderful. Her assistant is as good as she is. Design, Inc. was the series I watched.
Another show she does is Sarah 101 and there was only one episode. So far...???
FlatCityG...the Mother's laugh was less and more rare towards the end of the series. It was likely nerves and sounded forced to me. They do serious, back breaking work. They aren't actors, so I wish all of them would omit the antics...tire racing; piggy back destruction and the things Chip did. I stopped watching Chip and Joanna.
Flipping the South is in Atlanta. I saw that couple do a home in Marietta, Jawga. Then I saw a home renovated in Charleston by a couple named Evans I believe. It had to be two separate shows.

How kind of you to respond. I read all published "Game of Thrones" books before it hit TV and was hooked. The opposite for "Outlander" as one day I couldn't get up and about so watched it from it's start on computer. I do like the story and plan to read the books in order - there's too much sex/nudity shown - I don't like being a captured peeping Tom. The actors, however, are very good.
I would suggest reading "Outlander". I was just curious of other's opinions.

I will cut and paste this info and email to my sister in law in South Carolina. She is an avid reader. She and her husband watch nothing and I mean nothing but NCIS. They have every season recorded. The show is white noise while she reads. Do not ask me to explain. I can not. She's a nut! in the best way possible.
I completely agree with you on sex and add language to that. I stopped watching Suits bc of language. I don't want to see the slightest display of affection between the opposite sex or the same sex. ...on prime time crime dramas or decorating shows.
Thank you for sharing.
I read articles daily on the pc and as you know, most of it isn't positive. I need vapid entertainment in the evening.

I agree about foul language as evidenced over on the Suggested Reading wall. Several good books have been discussed there & you might find it interesting.
As for Game of Thrones & Outlander - both are fantasy in different ways. GofT = mythical world w/7 ruling families & competition for kingship. Swords, sex & dragons. Outlander is about a couple reunited after WWII & during 2nd honeymoon in Scotland wife touches a sacred stone & is transported back in time to 18th century & Chas. Stuart's attempt to get his father returned to the British throne, trapped in time she falls in love ... just so you know what you're recommending (smile ). BTW I'm an NCIS fan also.

New on HGTV: Masters of Flip
I'm nuts about this show. I found a bio on the couple and it's posted below.
I like "Flip" shows. Maybe because I like Old Houses Renewed. I used to like Fixer Upper, but had to quit the show after Chip Gaines ate the cockroach. I was nearly finished off when he filled his nasty work boot with river water and drank it, but stayed with it a while longer. The cockroach finished me off.
Masters of Flip comes on on Thursday night. I really like this couple.
From HGTV site:
Not from HGTV site:
What began as two separate musical careers has become a lifelong partnership for Kortney and Dave Wilson. After a solid run as a country music duo, the Canadian-born Nashville couple traded in their microphones for tool belts and began flipping houses while raising their children.
In 2009, CMT Canada debuted a reality show called "Meet the Wilsons". For two seasons, cameras followed the couple and their family on their house-flipping adventures. Soon after, Kortney and Dave began interacting with their fans as hosts of their own daytime talk show on CMT's, "Kortney & Dave: By Request". Since that time, Kortney, an award-winning realtor and visionary, and Dave, a tireless flipper with a nose for profit, continued to build their real estate business through flips, buy and hold properties and vacation rentals.

Print off a 'list' of episodes and mark them off after viewing.
I'm currently in the final throws of POI. Last three episode in June. This is killing me....not rilly.
You must, must, must watch 'Lie To Me'. I watched it free live streaming one episode a day until I have viewed all ep in order. The key is to print an episode 'list'. You do not want episode descriptions such as those at IMDb.
Elementary is my favorite show on TV.
Will watch Bull coming on CBS this Fall starring Michael Weatherly who left NCIS. Based on Dr. Phil's (meh ) early career as a jury reader???? The trailer is very good.
All HH and HHI and HHRenovations.
TBBT, orig. NCIS and Myst. of Laura ..more if I think of any.
Oh and Project Runway. All stars if I'm truly desperate. lol...

Clarification/fyi. You only need lists for shows with multiple seasons. CSI has 15 seasons. I've seen all but 3 shows of that and finished CSI Miami and CSI NY. With a list you place a dot if it's set to record, a small right slash(half a check mark ) when it records and complete the check (from the hash mark ) when viewed. That truly helps as the re-runs are all over the place.
And Houdini and Doyle is the famous escape artist played by Michael Weston who played Oscar Rankin? in Elementary. Doyle is Sir Arthur Conan and they are friends in the period piece who solve crimes. It may be a one season show.
Procedural dramas need no list, just record series and watch in order.

I agree 100% about the Mother's laugh. It's like fingernails on a blackboard. I thought it was kind of charming at first. Great that anyone is that happy and thrilled with life. But it's gotten old, like she cackles just to cackle and it's not even a laugh any longer. Like Chip Gaines's antics have gotten old. Beyond old.

FTA: When Mark Bowe was working as a coal miner to put himself through college, he never dreamed he would one day restore structures built by the pioneers. One chance weekend he was asked to help with a demolition, and the rest, as they say, is history. For 16 years, Mark has made a name for himself and his crew as restoration specialists. They've traveled the country finding antique structures, tearing them down, and bringing them back to Greenbrier County to restore. His business is constantly evolving, and Mark is taking Antique Cabins and Barns to the next stage—handling everything from restoration and repurposing to designing and building to energy efficiency and estate planning.
His show is on Great American Country occasionally: music videos by day, diy shows by night. You can find the schedule on GAC website. It's also where I found the old RV restoration program.

Highway Thru Hell
This is one riveting television program. It's set in Hope, British Columbia and Lac la Biche, Alberta [the oil fields]. Hope, BC is the start of the Coquihalla Highway, an engineering marvel according to National Geographic; it winds through some of the most rugged areas of the Canadian Rockies, and in winter it is a nightmare. You can not believe all of the different ways that drivers of the big rigs find to twist metal into unrecognizable shapes and spread cargo across six lanes of highway.
And you can't believe what it takes to retrieve the tractors and trailers when they've gone over a 300 foot drop off to a raging river below. But they have to be recovered.
And it's always in a blizzard.
The show is a National Geographic production, but I get the show on the Weather Channel on Wednesday night and Sunday night.
If you ever wondered how those big rigs are recovered after a major crash, ride along with Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue and his drivers, in some of the largest heavy wreckers known to man [60 tons], and you'll learn all about it.
This particular piece of equipment was built in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Viewers got to go with Jamie when he flew out of Canada to Chattanooga to pick it up and drive it back to Hope. There is a length limit for vehicles entering Canada from the US; there was a mix up at the factory, and this Rotator was within an inch of not getting into Canada.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to develop bioactive, high-strength contrast agents for use in orthopedic and bone implant applications. There is a clear clinical need for improved contrast agents that increase the strength, toughness and abrasion wear of bone-void fillers, improve its biocompatibility and ability to promote the growth of healthy bone at the bone/filler interface. The innovation addresses the current shortcomings and aims to produce contrast agents that improve the mechanical properties, fatigue life, wear abrasion, and bio-compatibility with living bone. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to increase the success rate of total joint replacement surgeries, increase the implant lifetime and reduce the rates of revision surgeries. Surgeries involving hip and knee replacements (and other surgeries utilizing bone-void fillers) are rapidly increasing world-wide, and the trend toward performing these surgeries on a younger patient population, who will more likely require replacement surgeries, portends a massive increase in their incidence in the coming decades.

I wondered how this tool would hold up doing heavy brake springs since the end is quite thin. Somebody at HF knows their steel. 4 brake jobs done and the only thing that happened to the end is it's nicely polished now. I don't know what to say about the review where the tool broke. He may have gotten a bad one. Hardened steel like this isn't for prying. I suppose you could break it that way. Note: Brake springs can be around 50# of tension. That's a lot to pull and you often can't pull straight. You may find you need brake spring pliers. If you've got the strength this hook will let you pop springs on and off in a second. Always wear ANSI-rated eye protection when working with springs. HF sells them for 2 Georges. Your eyes are worth more than that.

The center of the brake spring tool is of cheap filler and the tool WILL break. Ours broke on the first use and one can clearly see the filler in the tool. The tool gives the look of sturdy metal, but it is Not metal all the way through and is the most inferior construction we've ever seen.

Any of you fellow Biker Trash out there know how difficult putting an FL Kickstand spring is. Not with this little beauty. At first glance it looked too flimsy for the task. not so. It took literally seconds to replace the damaged spring. Gotta keep one in the garage for yourself and the bros ( yeah the ones too cheap to spend the 500 pennies to have their own).

I use it to remove the plastic moulding inside the car to reveal the locations of airbags. Although it is not what it was designed for, it works like a champ. I have had a one in my turnouts for the last 12 years. I teach auto extrication to other fireman and they always want one after going through the class. The tool is very solid and does not bend or break. I put alot of pressure on the hook and have never had a problem.
Work well but, leverage is an issue.
By Crazy Mark
from Johnstown, Pa
I was installing new emergency brake pads on my 2002 Ford Explorer. The manual said to use locking needle nose pliers which barely cleared the lug hub with little or no leverage to hook the springs in their slots. The Headlight and Brake Spring Tool was more slender with an angle about 1" from the hook. Still, it was fairly difficult to insert the spring in the slot. I'm not as strong as I used to be at 66 but, I managed to get the springs hooked enough to tap them in the rest of the way with a screw driver. Still, it was better than the locking pliers.

text: Pentair Pentair ( PNR) is another name that's seen some impressive price appreciation in the last six months. Shares of this water pump manufacturer have climbed 18% and change in the last half-year. Now the technical setup in shares of this stock points to even more upside in the second quarter of 2013. That's because Pentair is currently forming an ascending triangle pattern, a bullish breakout trade that's formed by a horizontal resistance level above shares (in this case at $54) and uptrending support to the downside. Essentially, as PTR bounces in between those two technically-important price levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above $54. When that move through resistance happens, traders have a buy signal in this stock. Don't try to get in early on this setup. Until the breakout happens, there isn't a high probability trade here.

Aug 12, 2013It comes packing a few twists, some better than others. Refreshed boss fights are a nice touch, but Remastered's confounding emphasis on its story is disruptive and annoying, even if it comes packing some great voice acting.

Also this game...although fantastic on the PC and console systems should really be geared toward the handheld market like the PS Vita or the 3DS because the control over scrooge would feel more natural.

Watching telly on a computer is easy. But now that often homes have several PCs or laptops, how about trying the Elgato Netstream digital tuner, which can plug into a wireless network and stream live TV around your home?
Elgato has built its reputation on solid-performing digital TV adaptors, originally for the Mac platform but now with drivers enabling easy use on Windows PCs too.
Up until recently, these TV tuners have all been of the direct-attachment type, originally using FireWire, and now all via a USB 2.0 port. While this allows one computer to easily function as a TV, it does restrict you to siting your PC near to a wall outlet or extension cable for a roof-top aerial.
A portable antenna is always included in the box, but it's of limited use in the UK unless you live close to a TV transmitter.
The Elgato Netstream introduces a new way to watch television in the house, as it carries television over your local network. So rather than plug into a single computer, it connects to your network router via an ethernet cable, distributing its TV channels to anywhere in the house that your network reaches – whether that's a wired or wireless network.
The Elgato Netstream is a twin-tuner device, enabling two different programmes to be watched on two different PCs. It's powered by an external power plug, and just needs a network cable and antenna to for operate.
Unlike similar solutions with two separate tuners, such as Elgato's own EyeTV Diversity, it only requires one antenna. That's handy, but also creates a fractional drop in signal sensitivity for each tuner module.
While it saves having to find two aerials or use a Y-splitter cable, since the RF feed must be shared between the two tuners, good reception strength is beneficial here.
Elgato Netstream sits on the network and just needs DC power and an aerial connection
As well as streaming two different channels to two PCs, you can watch one channel while recording another on the same computer.
If another PC then tries to 'tune in' over the network, a message appears that both tuners are in use — although with the help of a four-digit admin PIN code, you can overide someone else's viewing and take control of a tuner.
So you could have your media centre PC in the lounge viewing BBC One, for example, while a laptop elsewhere in the house tunes into E4.
It does not multicast though: two computers both tuning into Channel 4 will use up both available tuners, and a third user who simply wants to watch the same channel will be unable connect.
That's live TV — but what about recording? With Elgato's software for Mac especially, recording is a cinch. Then to watch programmes recorded on a different PC, you just switch on Sharing from the app's preference panel.
You can also enable access for iOS devices, with the help of a £2.99 app from the iTunes App Store. We'll be covering the impressive capabilities of this app in a separate review.
NEXT PAGE: watching and recording TV with the Elgato Netstream >>
Note that due to a lack of the necessary chipsets required for the task, the Elgato Netstream will not receive the latest high-definition broadcasts from Freeview HD.
The UK uses a novel DVB-T2 transmission system that is not a popular international standard, and at present at least there are no Freeview HD solutions available use with personal computers.
With Sweden, Italy and now South Africa coming on-board to start broadcasting using DVB-T2, such tuners ought to become more plentiful in the future.
Sotware options
For Mac users, you can make the most of the Elgato Netstream with the usual EyeTV 3 software. This lets you watch live programmes and check TV guides, as well as record television or setup recordings for the coming week.
It's also straightforward to archive recorded TV programmes, either by exporting in their native MPEG transport-stream format or recompressing to, for example, MPEG-4 for portable devices.
For Windows users, you can use either Windows Media Centre built into Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Ultimate, or use the supplied Terratec Home Cinema software.
Alternatively for any platform, including Linux, you can access the Elgato Netstream server interface through a web browser and download an m3u file of your local channel listing.
You then use VLC or similar video app to select and play any channel from this list.
Elgato Netstream can be setup over the network through a web browser
Once setup, you can export an m3u file that allows tuning-in by other video player apps, such as VLC
Elgato Netstream in use
We found the same great picture quality as you'd see on a typical USB Elgato DVB-T device, and a smooth artefact-free picture through VLC too, once deinterlacing had been switched on.
Whereas EyeTV usually plays Freeview TV with a glitch-free uninterrupted video and audio stream, we found the Elgato Netstream was not always so flawless, sometimes showing fractional jumps.
Whether connected through a home router or directly to an Apple Mac mini's ethernet port, the Elgato Netstream could not play entirely consistently, introducing a few micro-pauses in each hour of television viewing. Sometimes these seemed random; other times, the launching of, for example, Safari was enough to cause a sub-second micro pause in the TV programme.
After trying two samples and applying several updates to EyeTV 3 software, as well as a firmware update to the hardware itself, we now assume this issue is unavoidable for the Elgato Netstream.
Some viewers may not be troubled by such occasional blips, but if like us you've become accustomed to the usual Elgato digital TV experience that's free of any perceptible dropped frames, it's still a little unsettling.
We've been auditioning the Elgato Netstream since its first release earlier this year, and while this aspect has been improved, at present we're still seeing sporadic glitches.

Try as we might, we couldn't get the Elgato Netstream to deliver the same smooth playback as the company's other adaptors. But the advantage this network-attached system offers over a direct-connected adaptor is profound. The streaming of live television, in unadulterated MPEG-2 broadcast quality, to a computer of any type in the house is a fantastic asset, with two TV tuners to help allay domestic programming conflicts. In spite of its flaw, we can't help but like this product, but would love it even more if it could play as well as the USB versions.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court entered the debate over medical marijuana Monday, agreeing to decide whether the drug can be provided to patients out of ''medical necessity'' even though federal law makes its distribution a crime.
The justices said they will hear the Clinton administration's effort to bar a California group from providing the drug to seriously ill patients for pain and nausea relief.
A lower court decision allowing the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Coop-erative to distribute the drug ''threatens the government's ability to enforce the federal drug laws,'' government lawyers said.
But the California group says that for some patients, marijuana is ''the only medicine that has proven effective in relieving their conditions or symptoms.''
The group's lawyer, Annette P. Carnegie, said Monday the federal Controlled Substances Act does not prohibit the distribution of marijuana for medical reasons.
Eight states in addition to California have medical-marijuana laws in place or approved by voters.
Justice Department lawyers said Congress has decided that marijuana has ''no currently accepted medical use.''

This cabinet was not bought for CDs. It was bought as a "Nature Chest" for my grandson. Lots of drawers that could be labeled and immediately were- fossils, insects, rocks, dinosaur bones, shells, feathers, etc. It was a huge success and replaced his smaller, and outgrown chest. The drawers are the perfect size, and if this cabinet is outgrown as well, another can be purchased to add.
Library Storage Cabinet

I have wanted this cabinet for a long time but it can't be shipped to Canada. My niece now lives in the U.S. and I shipped it there and she brought it up. It was worth waiting for. It fits a lot of CD's and is easy to search through. The drawers have labels. I am enjoying.

Disappointingly not of quality standards
By Lucy
from Alcalde, NM
This media storage cabinet ordered from Signals arrived with noticeable split near the top of one side of the cabinet. There appear to be splits, or the beginning of splitting down the backside.The use of staples to assemble a cabinet speaks of assembly requiring as little workmanship as possible. The only evidence of the cabinet made of hardwood were the top and two sides. (a call to the catalog assured one that it was constructed of hardwoods. ) In conclusion, this product is of the poorest quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hello, I was delighted to recieve you're email. I have been a customer of GO.PART.COM since 2009 and I was very pleased w my purchase. I purchased a passenger side mirror that was very easy to attach. I found the site to be very user friendly and also when I called in to speak w customer service, they were equally as friendly ..It was delivered in a very timely manner and I was very pleased with my purchase. I will forever be a customer, actually saved the site to my browser for quick easy access ...
Price Quality Average: 4.5 / 5 starsi did my research online and GO-Parts came top as the cheapest, good quality and delivered on time. I was skeptical if its the original as it was so cheap but turned out to be a good quality. Sure will order my parts from go-part moving forward.by okeydom
