August 2nd: What's On Today's Show
Debt And The Next Generation
The Senate votes today on the compromise agreement to cut federal spending and raise the debt limit. President Obama plans to sign the measure into law as soon as it reaches his desk. In a recent op-ed in USA Today, President Obama wrote that the debt debate offers the chance to "secure a better future for our children." But there's intense debate over what that means. Some argue we owe it to the next generation to sacrifice and pay down our debts. Others insist we owe them fully funded education, retirement and other programs. Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson and Lisa Mensah, executive director of the Aspen Institute's Initiative on Financial Security, join host Tony Cox to tackle the question of how to budget for the good of the next generation. NPR senior Washington editor Ron Elving will also join us with the latest on the debt deal.
How We Watch Television
The days where everyone watched the same program at the same time are gone — primetime is everywhere, all the time. DVR, Blu-ray, game consoles — all have made more and more people decide that maybe this is the year to cut the cable. Internet TV options are boundless — Netflix, Hulu, Amazon — and have even made piracy less of an issue. Guest host Tony Cox talks about how YOU watch TV — and where — with Slate technology correspondent Farhad Manjoo and other guests.
Banish Left Turns
Roughly 10 million motor vehicle accidents are reported on the roads every year. Regular drivers may not be surprised to hear that many of them come while making a left turn. Traffic engineers have come up with alternatives to the standard four-way intersection, but most still involve crossing directly in front of another moving vehicle. In a piece for Slate.com, transportation columnist Tom Vanderbilt proposes a solution — the diverging diamond interchange. Traffic lanes "criss cross" at a traffic signal and drivers never turn across moving traffic. Guest host Tony Cox talks with Vanderbilt about why left turns are so dangerous, what many people do to avoid them and the proposal for an intersection that eliminates left turns altogether.

Dismantling Archive
Currently Breaking | Cars For Sale | Cars Sold | Customers and their cars
We are constantly sourcing vehicles for dismantling, which has allowed us to build up a vast stock of used parts for every Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor car from 1945 to the present day.
The cars shown below have already made their final journey and have been carefully dismantled.
If you own, or know of, a car that is beyond economical repair please let us know - there may even be a Finders Fee available!
You can also find all our cars we are currently dismantling and cars we have dismantled on our Official YouTube Channel.
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-311
Chassis No: SRH0041483
"A late model Silver Shadow II from 1980. Another abandoned restoration project, left standing exposed to the elements for some time, and now only suitable for recycling."
Bentley Continental Flying Spur : FSD-310
Chassis No: SCBBE53W76C031313
"We have recently acquired a Bentley Continental Flying Spur saloon which is being recycled. First registered in 2005, this example has been well used, but will provide an invaluable source of used parts."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-306
Chassis No: SCAZSOOOIECH09490
"This 1984 Silver Spirit had a particularly good pre-injection engine which has been donated to a custom-built 'special'. Unfortunately, the rest of the car was not required and, being left exposed to the elements for some time, is now only suitable for recycling."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-305
Chassis No: SRH0040797
"A late model Silver Shadow II, first registered in 1980, this car was used regularly and kept in fine condition, prior to meeting with an unfortunate accident earlier in 2016. It had been fitted with a rebuilt engine around 3,000 miles prior to the accident, so while obviously beyond repair bodily, the engine is very much ready to be transplanted in to a similar motor car."
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III : FSD-296
Chassis No: SGT367
"Having lived in a garden, somewhere north of London for many years, this car has unfortunately now gone well beyond saving and would surely frighten the most dedicated of enthusiasts. It was successfully extracted from the soil and is currently awaiting inspection in our workshops. We are hopeful that the engine can be salvaged, along with a selection of other components."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-295
Chassis No: SRH22492
"First registered in 1975, this Silver Shadow was destined for restoration, but, having been left to stand for a number of years, rot set in, and the task became rather too much for the previous owner. Currently being recycled, the car will again provide valuable components for other similar, but more roadworthy vehicles."
Bentley S2 : FSD-294
Chassis No: B167DV
"This S2 was first registered in 1961. The property of its former keeper since 1997, it was in regular use prior to being taken off the road for some restoration work. A change in personal circumstances resulted in the work being delayed and a decision was taken to sell the car. Unfortunately, by this time, the restoration was no longer economically viable, so the car is destined to be recycled."
Bentley Continental GT : FSD-293
Chassis No: SCBCE63WX5CO27748
"This Continental GT was first registered in 2005 and has spent much of its life in Japan. It was unfortunately involved in an accident over there, with extensive damage to the underside of the car. Used parts for these models are constantly in demand, so it will soon be recycled."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-289
Chassis No: SRH33904
"A Shadow II which had been previously well maintained, but, was then left unused for a while. It does not take long for a period of inactivity to cause problems mechanically, and, taking into account corrosion, this car is, unfortunately, well beyond economical repair."
Bentley Arnage Red Label : FSD-286
Chassis No: SCBLC32E9YCH04938
"This 2000 Bentley Arnage Red Label suffered severe accident damage to the rear, resulting in the car being written-off, so it has to be dismantled. Demand for used parts for this range of cars is increasing, and the majority of major mechanical components and ancilliaries remain intact. We welcome your enquires for parts from this car."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II : FSD-284
Chassis No: SCAZSOOA9LCH33591
"In semi-regular use until last year, this 1990 Spirit II was originally thought to be a potential restoration project. Pictured in the condition it arrived, an inspection soon revealed a long list of issues requiring attention. Taking into account the extensive corrosion as well, recycling is the only sensible direction to take."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-283
Chassis No: SRH16363
"Another Silver Shadow, first registered in 1973. Standing unused for many years, this car was recently extracted from a small garage and found to be way beyond economical repair. It will, however, provide a valuable source of parts and units suitable for reconditioning."
Bentley S3 : FSD-281
Chassis No: B72 CN
"Acquired by the former keeper as an ambitious restoration project, he consequently ran out of time, enthusiasm, and possibly money. It arrived complete with a 'spare' bodyshell, and will be recycled in the near future."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-274
Chassis No: SRH11727
"This 1971 Silver Shadow was purchased by the previous owner as a source of parts for other cars that they owned. The gearbox was already located in the boot when the car arrived so it will progress straight to our recycling department so that they can finish the job."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-273
Chassis No: SRH13342
"This 1972 Silver Shadow is a former wedding car that has been standing unused for several years. A restoration was started some time ago, but never completed and the car is now way beyond economical repair, so will be recycled to provide much needed parts for other roadworthy vehicles."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-272
Chassis No: -
"Living in a field in Lancashire for over 20 years is not the best thing for a late 60's Silver Shadow. Having been prised from the earth and transported to our premises, the front subframe and engine literally fell out of this car as it was lifted on to our ramp. The remaining salvageable parts have now been removed (there weren't many!) and the rest has been thrown away."
Bentley Turbo R : FSD-270
Chassis No: SCBZRO4AXKCH25872
"First registered in 1989, this Turbo R has lived by the sea for the last 10 years and has suffered serious corrosion. Driven regularly until recently, it has an MOT until December 2015, but the amount of restoration work now required to the body does not make it a viable restoration project."
Bentley Turbo R : FSD-269
Chassis No: SCBZP15C3VCH59197
"This late model Turbo R was first registered in 1997 and was in fine condition prior to the accident. We are told that an icy road and a roundabout were involved and although serious injuries were sustained, the occupants thankfully survived the impact. The remaining undamaged components will be removed for recycling."
Bentley Eight : FSD-268
Chassis No: SCBZEOOAXKCH27638
"Rescued from a transport yard in Staffordshire, this car has been standing for some time, resulting in a number of mechanical problems. The paintwork is badly faded but the interior has not suffered too badly. This is a car that could possibly return to the road, but may prove to be more valuable to our recycling department."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-267
Chassis No: SRH0040733
"This late model Shadow suffered an unfortunate accident but was in fairly good condition prior to that. Originally under consideration for repair, the excellent interior has now been sold to an enthusiast wishing to upgrade their own car, so the remains will now be recycled."
Bentley Mulsanne Turbo : FSD-258
Chassis No: SCBZSOTOXGCH14780
"An early Mulsanne Turbo, first registered in 1984, that has been living in a container for many years. Not as rotten as some examples, but the long period of inactivity has not been kind to the mechanicals. However, the car will provide a number of parts to supplement our used & reconditioned stocks."
Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II : FSD-255
Chassis No: LRH34945
"This is a rare Silver Wraith II in need of extensive cosmetic restoration. It does have the benefit of a current MOT, valid until November 2015. Suitable for an enthusiast who can see beyond the current state of the car, but also a useful source of parts so could go either way. Sadly has now been completely recycled for spares."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-253
Chassis No: -
"This 1976 Silver Shadow has been living in the New Forest for several years and time has not been kind to it. Needless to say, it is beyond restoration in every way but will provide some useful parts for reconditioning purposes."
Bentley Arnage Green Label : FSD-250
Chassis No: SCBLB51E6XCH02675
"It is quite rare for us to acquire an Arnage for breaking. This is a 1999 'Green Label', fitted with the earlier BMW 4.4 litre V8 engine. Severe accident damage to the rear has rendered the car uneconomical to repair so it will be recycled to provide much needed parts."
Bentley Turbo R : FSD-249
Chassis No: TBC
"Pictured as it arrived, what can we say about this example? Originally a Turbo R, we believe it to be an abandoned project with suggestions that it was once intended to convert it into a two door coupe, amongst other things. It is said that the rear end was removed to create a piece of furniture and yet parts of the engine appear to have been finely detailed. We plan to salvage what we can, then throw the rest of it away."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II : FSD-248
Chassis No: SCAZSOOA4LCH33286
"This 1990 Silver Spirit II was in regular use, prior to an unfortunate accident which resulted in extensive damage to the front end. Now beyond economical repair, the car will be recycled. It does have the benefit of fitted picnic tables, together with the rare option of leather faced cocktail cabinets beneath each table."
Bentley Turbo R : FSD-247
Chassis No: SCBZRO4A6MCH34121
"A 1991 Bentley Turbo R that has been standing for some years. A well specified car when new, it has the benefit of picnic tables and burr walnut inlay panels to all four doors. Time has not been kind to the exterior and mechanical components so this is another example that will be heading to our recyclers."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-246
Chassis No: SCAZSOOO9BCX02943
"This 1981 Silver Spirit is a left hand drive model which was originally exported to Germany. At some point, the car found its way to Nigeria where it was resident for a few years, before returning to west London. It was then left standing for some time, before being acquired by ourselves. Well beyond economical restoration, the car has now been recycled, providing useful parts for other roadworthy vehicles, including a potential left hand drive conversion."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-244
Chassis No: SRH9811
"This Silver Shadow, first registered in 1971, had been with the previous owner since 1996, but, as with many of the cars we acquire, it has been unused for many years. It may have been possible to rescue this example if it had been discovered a couple of years earlier, but it has unfortunately now passed the point of no return and will be recycled in the near future."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-243
Chassis No: SCAZSOOO9CCH04342
"An early Silver Spirit from 1982, this car was in regular use until, unfortunately, it was damaged in an accident. Although the damage does not look too severe, it is not economical to repair the car as the costs would be greater than the ultimate value of it. Therefore, it will provide a useful source of parts."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-241
Chassis No: SRH23371
"Left standing for several years, this car has suffered in the usual way, and is now suitable only for recycling. A late flared arch model, it will provide a range of useful parts to keep other examples running."
Bentley Turbo : FSD-240
Chassis No: SCBZSOTA4JCH22633
"This car was purchased by its previous owner earlier this year as a potential 'rolling restoration'. However, following quotations for brake and suspension parts, together with many other things that were needed, he decided that the project would be way beyond the ultimate value of the car. Therefore the car was acquired by ourselves and is destined for recycling unless a particularly brave enthusiast is prepared to take it on."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-238
Chassis No: SRH30716
"This is an early Siver Shadow II model, classed as an 'abandoned restoration project'. As is often the case, work commenced some years ago and, as can be seen in the photographs, much time was spent on preparation. However, due to lack of time and other commitments, the project was slow to progress and eventually came to a complete standstill. It has been decided that the components of this car will benefit other more worthy examples."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-235
Chassis No: SCAZSOOA8JCH24281
"This Silver Spirit was first registered in 1988, but has been standing, unused, for the past 4 or 5 years. As is often the case, a number of mechanical components have now failed and together with the damage to the bodywork, the car is no longer economical to return to the road. It will therefore be recycled."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-234
Chassis No: SCAZSOOAOJCH24324
"A 1988 Silver Spirit which has unfortunately been damaged in an accident, well beyond economical repair. At this age and condition, the car is now only suitable as a source of parts to keep other similar vehicles on the road."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-233
Chassis No: SCAZSOOA2JCH24101
"This a very 'tired' Silver Spirit, left standing for some years after sustaining accident damage. A number of parts had been removed, prior to arrival at Flying Spares, so we will be salvaging 'the best of the rest' to donate to more worthy causes. Anything left after that will be thrown away."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II : FSD-231
Chassis No: SCAZSOOA9LCH32442
"First registered in 1990, this Silver Spirit II was originally acquired by the previous owner as a rolling restoration. However, as is often the case, the amount of work required mechanically and electrically to restore the car would far outweigh the ultimate value of it. Therefore, it has been decided that the car will be passed to our dismantlers to provide parts for more roadworthy vehicles."
Bentley Mulsanne Turbo : FSD-228
Chassis No: GCH16169
"A 1986 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo, recently extracted from a lock-up garage in the London area. A pre-injection model, this car has been unused for some time and a cosmetic restoration appears to have been started, but then abandoned. A look through the pictures show the state of the car, as it arrived. The amount of work required to restore it would not make a worthwhile project so the dismantling team are ready to rescue the good bits."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-226
Chassis No: SRH26061
"This 1976 Silver Shadow is a late 'flared arch' model. The former keeper has owned the car since 1991 but, as with many cars like this, it has been standing unused for the last couple of years. The body and underside of the car are quite corroded and there are a number of malfunctioning electrical items throughout the vehicle. Uneconomical to return to the road, this car will now provide parts for other Silver Shadows."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-224
Chassis No: SCAZS0002ECH09594
"A 1984 Silver Spirit which has been standing unused for a number of years. The car is beyond economical restoration but has been identified as a suitable donor car for an accident damaged Spirit abroad. The relevant parts are about to be removed and shipped out for the repairs to the other car to take place."
Bentley MkVI : FSD-223
Chassis No: B238 LJ
"What can we say about this once fine Bentley MK VI? Obviously in a bad way, it has recently arrived from America, having been stored for many years. However, investigations have so far revealed that the car is fitted with an excellent 'R' type engine together with a good gearbox. We will endeavour to salvage any remaining useable parts - and then throw the rest away."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-220
Chassis No: SRH23278
"This is a late flared arch Silver Shadow, first registered in 1976 and with the previous owner for 18 years. Another car that has been standing for some time, it is currently being assessed in our workshops. The recorded mileage is just over 77,000 although this cannot be guaranteed. The car has a particularly unusual interior in brown leather, piped in white, and is also fitted with a matching brown everflex roof."
Bentley Brooklands : FSD-216
Chassis No: SCBZE20C8VCH59778
"This beautiful low mileage late model Bentley Brooklands has unfortunately been damaged (at the rear) beyond economical repair. Particularly well cared for prior to the accident, the front of the car and engine are in exceptional condition, commensurate with the recorded mileage of 13,000. The interior is also immaculate and the car will now provide a useful source of excellent quality used parts for other similar models."
Bentley Continental GT : FSD-215
Chassis No: SCBCE63W57C044105
"First registered in 2006, this Bentley Continental GT is a 'Mulliner Specification' model. Severely accident damaged, and obviously unable to return to the road, it will provide a useful supply of parts for similar vehicles. The car is already in our workshops being dismantled to satisfy advance orders, such is the demand for parts for these cars. The engine was unaffected in the accident and starts and runs as it should. Enquiries for the remaining parts are welcome."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit : FSD-212
Chassis No: SCAZSOOO2DCH07598
"This is a 1983 Silver Spirit which was left standing in a very small garage for many years. Looking not too bad on the surface, time has not been kind and the underneath of the car is badly affected by rust. Additionally, the majority of systems are no longer operating, although the engine has now been started. Far beyond any sort of economical restoration, this car will be carefully dismantled in the near future, providing a limited range of recycled parts for other more worthy examples."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-211
Chassis No: SRH7362
"An earlier Silver Shadow, first registered in 1969 and fitted with the 6230cc engine. Originally purchased by the previous owner for restoration, he decided he would prefer a later Shadow 11 instead. This car is in particularly original condition, and has the added benefit of a full 'Webasto' fabric sliding sunroof. A potential restoration project, it does require some expenditure, but this would result in a lovely 'period' motor car. The alternative is an appointment with our dismantlers."
Bentley S3 : FSD-207
Chassis No: B20 JP
"A late S3, first registered in August, 1965. Previously well maintained but now beyond economical restoration, this car is now being used as a test vehicle in our workshops so that we can assess the suitability of components prior to adding them to our stock. As with the 1951 Bentley MKVI (FSD167), we are happy to offer parts from the car that do not immobilise it."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-206
Chassis No: SRH0041221
"This is one of the last Silver Shadow II's produced being registered in November 1980. It has a comprehensive, but not complete service history, and was in regular use until a couple of years ago. Now in need of some serious attention to the body, the interior and the mechanics, the cost of which may well prove uneconomical. Due for assessment shortly, it is likely that this car will be recycled as a valuable source of parts."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-205
Chassis No: SRH31080
"This 1977 Silver Shadow II has been in regular use until quite recently, both privately, and also for a number of weddings. It was driven a distance of around 80 miles to us, although our driver did comment that a number of functions were not working. The car has an MOT certificate until April 2014 and it could possibly be returned to the road by a dedicated enthusiast. Otherwise, it will head to our dismantling tgeam for careful recycling."
Bentley Turbo : FSD-203
Chassis No: SCBZSOTA5JCH22141
"An accident damaged Bentley Turbo R, first registered in 1987. This car was in regular use, prior to the accident and is in good condition for the year with a particularly well preserved interior. Now beyond economical repair, this Turbo R will be heading to our recycling department to provide a useful source of parts."
Rolls-Royce Silver Spur : FSD-202
Chassis No: SCAZNOOO4CCH04692
"This is an early Silver Spur, first registered in 1983. The engine runs particularly smoothly, but the car would need considerable expenditure to return to its former glory. Realistically, this car is likely to be dismantled to provide parts for more roadworthy examples."
Bentley T1 : FSD-201
Chassis No: SBH26163
"Here we have one of the last Bentley T1 models, first registered in 1976. Originally finished in green, with a dark green Everflex roof, the car also features a rare and unusual green velour interior. Another car that has been left to stand for many years but being undercover for most of this time, it may still be possible to save it from our dismantlers. The car is showing a recorded mileage of just over 100,000 and also has a large history file."
Bentley T1 : FSD-199
Chassis No: SBH4187
"This is a particularly poor example of a Bentley T1 which has sadly been neglected for numerous years with the majority of parts already removed."
Bentley Eight : FSD-198
Chassis No: SCBZS2007GCH14822
"A 1986 Bentley Eight which has been standing for some time. This is the pre-fuel injection model and although partly dismantled, the car is virtually complete and is currently being considered for restoration by a customer with vision. If this does not go ahead, the car will provide a wealth of parts for other cars of a similar age."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-196
Chassis No: SRH10059
"A Silver Shadow from the early 70's, this is another car that has been standing, open to the elements, for several years. Now well beyond repair, it will be a useful source of parts for other Shadows after careful dismantling by our recycling team."
Bentley Mulsanne Turbo : FSD-193
Chassis No: SCBZSOTOZDCH07060
"This is an early Bentley Mulsanne Turbo from 1983. Standing for some time, the bodywork is suffering from substantial corrosion. The car is also in need of major mechanical work making it well beyond economical repair, so it will be heading for our recyling department as a source of parts for similar models."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II : FSD-191
Chassis No: SRH0039384
"A later model Silver Shadow II that has been standing for several years. The interior, which was in fine condition, has been removed and installed in another car. The remainder of the car is currently being dismantled in our workshop."
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow : FSD-190
Chassis No: SRH16245

The 2013 NFL Draft was light on glamour, heavy on intrigue
Minnesota went all in with three first-round picks.
Super Bowl champion Baltimore went for replacements for Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.
The New York Jets added to their quarterback uncertainty by taking Geno Smith in the second round.
Teams loaded up on linemen, making the big and beefy guys this year's stars.
The 2013 NFL draft was light on glamour at the skill positions, but heavy on intrigue (when would Manti Te'o go?) and burly bodies able to either get after or protect all those pricey passers.
Denver Broncos boss John Elway called the draft "deep in the trenches.
"It wasn't sexy, but there were a lot of good football players in this draft, he said. "It was deep in the other-than-glitzy positions."
The first round included 18 linemen, one quarterback and, for the first time since 1963, no running backs.
"That's a lot of love for the big boys up front, which we usually don't get," said No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher, an offensive tackle from Central Michigan taken by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here are five ways this draft stands apart from the rest.

Samples were bought randomly from local supermarkets and from Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril. Sample preparation involved SPE (Solid Phase Extraction). Two chromatographic methods were developed, UPLC-PDA and UPLC-MS/MS which was more suitable and quantify unequivocally acrylamide. The acrylamide content in bread and pastries samples analyzed were above the indicative values published by EFSA. Descrição: Conference paper. 2015-08-01T00:00:00Z Application of gas chromatography to evaluate the nutritional quality of processed foods http://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/3712 Título: Application of gas chromatography to evaluate the nutritional quality of processed foods Autor: Albuquerque, T.G.; Silva, M.A.; Oliveira, M.B.; Costa, H.S. Resumo: In the last years, the consumption of processed foods has increased, mainly due to changes in consumers' lifestyle. Therefore, dietary habits of people are changing and it is of utmost importance to evaluate the nutritional quality of processed foods. Processed foods are recognized as sources of sugar, salt and fat. With respect to fat, according to the literature, these foods are mainly rich in saturated fatty acids. Moreover, since some of these foods have partially hydrogenated edible oils as ingredients, it is also very important to evaluate trans fatty acids (TFA) content of processed foods. Gas chromatography is the most used analytical method to determine the fatty acids profile of foodstuffs, since this technique presents better sensitivity and it allows separation of the different fatty acids isomers. In the present study, gas chromatography has been used to evaluate the nutritional quality of 236 processed foods (bakery products, soups, burgers, patties, seeds, nuts, French-fries, potato crisps, pizzas, sauces, cereals, biscuits, ready to eat meals, among others). Samples to be analysed were selected by reviewing existing data on the contribution of processed foods to the intakes of saturated fat, TFA and salt. Samples were purchased from supermarkets and fast-food restaurants. The selected processed foods were analysed regarding their fatty acids profile. The methylation of fatty acids was performed using 0.25 mL of methanolic potassium hydroxide (2 M) and 2 mL of n-heptane. Then, a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector was used. Fatty acids methyl esters were separated in a Supelco®-2560 column (100 m x 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 µm film thickness). According to the obtained results, for the bakery products, it was possible to confirm that fatty acids profile can be used to discriminate the different types. For example, it was possible to identify the healthier processed food, between similar foods, using the fatty acids analysis. Moreover, for potato crisps group the determination of fatty acids profile was also very useful to identify the oil/fat that was used as the frying medium. For other groups of processed foods this type of analysis was not sufficient, and a deeper analysis using other parameters, such as salt, was used to evaluate its nutritional quality. Regarding TFA, in general the analysed processed foods have low contents. Authors consider that the content of TFA has significantly been reduced during the last years, possibly due to industry reformulations. In conclusion, the obtained results will be essential to perform an update regarding the fatty acids profile of processed foods consumed by the Portuguese people. Also, these results will be included in the Portuguese Food Composition Database, which from a nutritional point of view, will make possible to perform associations between the intake of these foods and the impact that they can have in the health status of consumers. In the near future, we intend to include more types of processed foods in order to take a broader view of the current situation in Portugal. 2016-01-09T00:00:00Z WP9 – task 9.7 work protocol following workshop at MATIS (June 2015) - Se http://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/3648 Título: WP9 – task 9.7 work protocol following workshop at MATIS (June 2015) - Se Autor: Dias, M.

These were delicious enchiladas. They are rich and cheesy, and very filling. I substituted a 14-1/2 oz. can of undrained, "petite diced" tomatoes for the fresh tomatoes. Also, I topped the enchiladas with Mexican 4-cheese blend cheese. My family loved these and I will definitely be making them again. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Very good. It only ended up making about 8 enchiladas. I only used one can of mushroom soup and I think that was more than enough. I think with two cans it would have been way over creamy. All in all, I thought they were very good. Tasted like good family Mexican restaurant enchiladas.
I made half a recipe, used shredded pulled pork but made the rest as written. Great flavor and I loved the sauce. It is a very filling recipe and we only ate half a one each. Served with Mexican Salad.
This was a really awesome recipe, I loved it. Its nothing like I've made before and to be quite honest, its not what I was really looking for, but it came as a great surprise. The only mistake I made was not rolling up the enchiladas, I was low on time so I just made it as a casserole, tortillas (I used corn), chicken, sauce mixture, mushroom mixture, cheese and on, on it went until the dish was full. It was really good but at the end it had too much liquid, so next time, I'll follow the recipe as is! The sauce mixture is what really makes these enchiladas so great and I bet this mixture would go great in MIGAS, its a very popular breakfast down here in South Texas, so come Saturday morning, I'm going to give it a try; I can't wait. I also didn't cook the mixture for 1 hour, again I was short on time, it simmered for only 30-40 min and it still came out great! Thanks for this recipe, my DH and I will be using it over and over again.
Tender, creamy and just enough spice to satisfy.This is very easy to assemble. I used canned chopped tomatoes drained, and eliminated the green pepper (they don't agree with me)and chili powder instead of cumin and the result was a red sauce that was delicous.Take the time to cook it down to a medium thick sauce. The combination of the fresh cilantro and other veggies makes it all good and earned my 5 star rating. Served with dollops of sour cream and sliced avocados. Next time I will double the sauce recipe for dipping chips.

Can I have same url for both ASP.NET MVC requests returning HTML and for ASP.NET Web API returning JSON?
I see in examples routes like this:
"api/{id}" but can I get rid of this
api/ part and use this address in MVC (not Web API) too?
On one side this should be possible as we have content negotiation. But this way I require two routes with same address so this doesn't make sense, right?
In other words: can I have
Controller and
ApiController with same url? Or should I use
ApiController also for HTML?

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:53:34.
Courses taught by Gareth Doherty
01508: Extreme Urbanisms II: Speculations and Alternative Futures for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (STU 0150800)
Urban Planning and Design
Option Studio - 8 credits - Limited enrollment
Tuesday Thursday 2:00 - 6:00
Rahul Mehrotra, Gareth Doherty
Course Description
The studio will engage with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as its site for enquiry, research, and design propositions. The pedagogical thrust of the studio is to explore the potential for urban design and planning as well as landscape, architecture, and real estate as instruments for spatial imaginations at the metropolitan scale. This studio will be the first of a three-year thematic exploration of the Mumbai region which will range from looking at infrastructure and ecology, to questions of housing, urban systems and form. The studio will have both research and design components that will focus on a menu of predetermined questions with regional implications. Project formulation will be an important component of the studio. The studio will explore issues of extreme urbanism in the form of social, cultural, and economic disparities and how these manifest themselves in the MMR. Social interactions, public space and the broader issue of how design and planning can facilitate new imaginations for the metropolitan region will be central to the discussions. The intent will be to evolve new understandings of the contemporary potential of the MMR and to position urban design and planning as well as landscape, architecture, and real estate as instruments for a broader strategy plan that is more nuanced in terms of the ecologies that it recognizes and socially inclusive in its propositionary dimension. The studio is open to all departments at the GSD, and will collaborate with the Loeb Fellowship and MDesS programs as well as students and faculty from Harvard Business School, Harvard Kennedy School, and Harvard Law School.
03336: Design Anthropology: Objects, Landscapes, Cities (DES 0333600)
Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Wednesday 3:00 - 6:00 20 Sumner 1C
Gareth Doherty, Steven Caton
Course Description
This course will examine the intersections between design and anthropology. In recent years, there has been a movement in anthropology toward a focus on objects, while design and planning have been moving toward the understanding of objects as part of a greater milieu. This seminar explores this common ethnographic ground.The course is about both the anthropology of design, and the design of anthropology. For designers, the goals will be to learn thick ethnographic observation and description; applying theoretical concepts in making connections between ethnographic data; and moving from ethnography to an understanding of how context informs design, as well as asking why we design in the ways that we do. Anthropologists will be challenged to think about different forms of ethnographic fieldwork by collaborating with non-anthropologists and working toward a collective ethnography; using visual information to represent ethnographic information and insights; and applying anthropological skills to the study of objects, materiality, and design processes.We will read classic texts as well as contemporary readings in anthropology, architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning and design. The seminars will be filled with different components and tasks, typically including lectures and synopses of the weekly topic; presenting and discussing ethnographic data; sharing thinking on individual projects; and discussing assigned readings.Where possible, the synergy between anthropologists and designers will be cultivated to maximise exchange between disciplines. Ideally, the class will be evenly split between FAS and GSD. Students will be expected to engage in two projects over the course of the semester. The first is a weekly assignment, which forms part of a larger collective ethnographic work. The second will be an individual project, which should result in a design proposal that emerges from the common ethnography. While the first project is primarily observational, the second is design oriented.

A 10-year-old girl injured in what was thought to be a shark
attack may have been bitten by a mackerel.
The girl suffered "very minor injuries" to her hand when she
was bitten on Tuesday afternoon while swimming off the main
beach at Lennox Head, a spokeswoman at Lismore Base hospital
told AAP.
Initially it was believed she had been attacked by a shark.
But authorities say they aren't sure what is responsible for
the injuries.
"They don't know if that's actually correct," the spokeswoman
said of the shark attack theory.
Georgia Laddin, from the Lennox Head girls surfriders told
News Corp Australia it wasn't a shark.
"It was a mackerel. She's been bitten by a fish," she said.
"She's fine, she's OK. She's one of the local girls who surfs
down there."
A police spokeswoman told News Corp Australia the girl's
thumb was scratched.
No further detail was available and the girl's family don't
want to speak to media.

2008 Post-Gender?
posted by March 19 at 12:50 PMon
While everyone is talking about race in the wake of Obama's stirring speech two days ago, a new CBS poll finds that gender, not race, may be the bigger obstacle for American voters.
Thirty-nine percent of those who responded to the poll believe a female candidate "faces more obstacles in presidential politics today," compared to 33 percent who believed a black candidate did. Meanwhile, 42 percent of voters believed Clinton has been "judged more harshly" because of her gender (compared to 27 percent who said the same thing about Obama and race). And 45 percent of those surveyed believed that most people they knew would refuse to vote for a woman candidate (compared to 33 percent who believed most people they know would refuse to vote for a black candidate).
Perhaps most interesting: Nearly one in five of those surveyed (including 16 percent of women) said they would "prefer to vote for a man" than a woman, compared to just five percent who said they'd prefer to vote for a white candidate. Despite all that, just ten percent believed that sexism was "a bigger problem" than racism in America.

Legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno said, "I did what I was supposed to." In fact, nobody at Penn State did what basic human decency requires -- and as a result, prosecutors say, an alleged sexual predator who could have been stopped years ago was allowed to continue molesting young boys.
The arrest Saturday of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky on felony child sex abuse charges, involving at least eight victims, has sent university officials scrambling to justify a pattern of self-serving inattention and inaction.
University Vice President Gary Schultz and Athletic Director Tim Curley also face charges -- for failing to report what they knew about Sandusky and for allegedly perjuring themselves before a grand jury. Both proclaim their innocence. After an emergency meeting of the Board of Trustees earlier this week, it was announced that the two officials would be stepping away from their jobs.
Penn State President Graham Spanier said that Schultz and Curley have his "unconditional support." If he believes the way they acted was right, or even remotely acceptable, then he needed to go, too, and Wednesday night the trustees fired both Spanier and Paterno.
Assuming that even half of what Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly alleges is true, Sandusky is a patient and calculating pedophile who used his insider status with the glamorous Penn State football program to lure boys as young as 10. Sandusky allegedly met his victims through the Second Mile, a charity he founded that provides programs for troubled -- and vulnerable -- youth.
The investigation that led to the charges was launched in 2009 after the mother of a boy -- a Second Mile participant -- reported allegations of sexual assault to officials at a high school where Sandusky, now 67, volunteered. But Penn State officials knew at least 11 years earlier that there were disturbing questions about physical contact between Sandusky and young boys.
In 1998, university police conducted what a grand jury report calls a "lengthy investigation" of allegations that Sandusky had hugged, rubbed against and inappropriately touched two 11-year-old boys while they were naked with him in the showers of a Penn State locker room.
Detectives listened in while the mother of one of the boys called Sandusky to confront him. According to the grand jury report, Sandusky told her: "I understand. I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead."
The local district attorney declined to prosecute, and the investigation was closed. Paterno was Sandusky's immediate boss, and Curley was Paterno's. Perhaps all who were involved did, in the narrowest sense, what they were "supposed to." But imagine how much better it would have been if someone had done the right thing and taken that 1998 incident seriously -- better for the victims, but also better for the university's reputation and ultimately better for Sandusky himself.
It gets much worse: In 2002, after Sandusky had retired -- although he still had an office and enjoyed the run of the Penn State athletic facilities -- a football team graduate assistant saw Sandusky raping a young boy in the showers, according to the grand jury report.
The assistant told Paterno what he had seen. Paterno told Curley. The assistant was eventually summoned to a meeting with Curley and Schultz at which he says he described the rape in graphic detail.
The two officials claim they were only told about behavior that was "not that serious." According to the grand jury, the assistant, Paterno, Curley, Schultz and Spanier all knew about the incident. Each covered his own behind. None lifted a finger to find out who the victim was or what had become of him. Tell us again how you did everything you were supposed to do?

First Trimester 2nd Trimester 3rd Trimester
238 days to go...
Your baby today
Here the back of the embryo can be seen lying over the yolk sac. The opening overlying the developing brain has now closed (left side of image) and this will be followed two days later by closure of the opening at the base of the spine (out of view).
By the end of this sixth week, one of your baby's major organs-the heart-is rapidly developing and circulating blood.
Your developing embryo may still be tiny, but is undergoing rapid and complex development.
The heartbeat is now more easily recognized on an ultrasound scan. The heart continues to form from a simple smooth tube which, as it becomes more muscular, loops, folds, and divides to form four chambers. On the left side the upper chamber (left atrium) takes in blood from the lungs. From here blood passes through a one-way valve (the mitral valve) into the main left pumping chamber (the left ventricle). This then pumps blood out of the heart to the body along the main artery (the aorta). On the right-hand side of the heart, the upper chamber (right atrium) collects blood returning from the body and passes it through a one-way valve (tricuspid valve) into the right main pumping chamber (right ventricle). This pumps blood to the lungs and the cycle continues.
At this stage of development, the circulation is very basic with the heart tube simply sending blood around the length of your baby. No blood travels from your baby's circulation to the placenta (see You are 10 Weeks Exactly).
Types of miscarriage
At this early stage, a common concern is that the pregnancy will miscarry. A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy at any time up until the 20th week. After 20 weeks the loss is referred to as a stillbirth. The signs of a miscarriage are vaginal bleeding and periodlike cramps.
Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do to prevent a miscarriage. In around 60 percent of cases, it is caused by a one-time genetic problem. Bleeding does not always mean that the pregnancy is being miscarried. Since not all miscarriages follow the same pattern, there are various terms to describe what happens:
- A threatened miscarriage occurs when the pregnant woman experiences bleeding and possibly pain, but the baby survives.
- An inevitable miscarriage occurs when there is bleeding and pain due to the pregnant woman's uterus contracting. The cervix opens, and the fetus is expelled.
- A missed miscarriage is when the fetus dies but is not expelled. Surgery may be needed to remove it.

A deal to provide graphics for cricket in India had gone
sour, with the company pulling out of a contract that had
been signed, and his legal advice was that it could take 20
years before a case reached court.
The future was looking bleak.
"For me, it looked like I could not do this any more. It's
all over," he said. "By the time I'd gone in [to work], I'd
given up."
By a twist of fate, on that same April day, front page news
in the Otago Daily Times was that Fisher and Paykel would be
making 430 people redundant.
That news made Mr Taylor think twice about his decision.
"I thought 'I can't do it today. I'll do it next week'."
In the course of the week, he considered all his options, and
by taking measures such as selling shares in a business the
company owned, he found a way to pay his bills and keep the
company going on a month-to-month basis.
He was helped by staff who told him the company had been
going too long for him to give up on it - and that he should
fight it out.
As the year progressed, work began to come in, including a
contract for a 3D film for Te Papa, the Louis Vuitton Cup and
Formula One work for the BBC.
"It's just fate really - you've got to look at it and
In a difficult economic environment, communication between
the city's businessmen and women was important, and saving
workers' jobs should be their aim, Mr Taylor said.
"I just think the future is tough for everyone. It's so easy
to be sitting here and thinking you're on your own; you're
the only one doing it hard.
"In these times, we should be talking more to each other, not
The money earned from the BBC contract was not its most
important aspect, he said.
"I thought 'we are going to win this to save jobs'. In small-
to medium-sized enterprises, it's all owners of these
businesses think about."
Larger businesses could make 10% of their workforce
redundant, but for those smaller businesses "if you lay

Hmm. The whole setup is supposed to physically divide two networks, and nevertheless provide some kind of shared storage for moving data from one network to another. Establishing an ethernet link between the two servers would sort of disrupt the whole concept, which is to prevent *any* network access from outside into the secure part of the network. This is the (strongly simplified) topology:
It uses a SCSI-switch to "shuttle" data between two networks.

Hrithik Roshan hurt by speculations over 'Krrish 3' earnings, warns Bollywood insiders
Top Stories
- After arrest, Jitender Singh Tomar resigns as Delhi Law Minister
- Army begins operation near Myanmar border, kills militants involved in Manipur ambush
- Joint CP Mukesh Kumar Meena hits back, says he took charge at ACB under L-G's orders
- Congress president Sonia Gandhi accuses PM Modi of 'U-turns, falsehoods'
- UP minister booked for burning journalist to death over Facebook post
Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has slammed reports that he and his producer-director father Rakesh Roshan inflated the collection figures of their last release 'Krrish 3'. Hrithik Roshan on January 7 issued an angry statement, in Mumbai, clarifying rumours of the Box Office result of his superhero franchise 'Krrish 3', which released on November 1.
"'Krrish 3' has done a business of about 244cr India and around 55cr overseas. I wonder who these people are who have been so affected by these numbers and my success. Are they the ones I call my friends I wonder? I would like to tell them that they need not ever be insecure about another man's success cause all they need to do is concentrate on their own hard work which in turn will help them achieve what they want."
The angry actor further said in the statement: "Some from the industry and certain sections of the media are hell-bent on putting me, my father and 'Krrish 3' down. I have maintained my silence until now but these derogatory manipulations need to stop," he says.
Hrithik Roshan seems to be in the news for all the wrong reasons these days. The actor, who not-so-long ago revealed his wife Sussanne's decision to separate from him, has now released a statement especially addressed to those spreading certain untruths about the actor.
The actor also put forward his belief that what goes around comes around. "In the meantime stop manipulating the press! Believe in karma. As my father and I do. And one last thing about my father and me as a team- WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN!
Now that should silence the Superhero's critics.
'Krrish 3' hit theatres on November 1 last year and was among the top earning films of 2013, others being 'Dhoom 3', which reportedly has made Rs 500 crores and SRK-starrer 'Chennai Express'.

Microsoft and Google are locked in battle over free-for-personal-use productivity applications. Each is fighting for your attention.
At this time, there's no one best online suite; both are quite capable and both have some important limitations.
The state of the art in online productivity
Microsoft, Google, and Apple all offer online productivity suites that are free for personal use. And unlike past "free" suites (yes, I mean you, Microsoft Works and MS Office Web Apps!), these latest online suites are all surprisingly capable — and getting better almost weekly. In this discussion, I compare Office Online and Google Apps: two suites experienced Windows and Office users are most likely to use. Apple's iWork for iCloud I'll save for another day. It represents an elegant evolution of the Office genre, but there's a significant learning curve for dyed-in-the-wool Office "Officionados."
In short, Office Online and Google Apps are both so good you might not need to buy a standalone version of Office or subscribe to Office 365. Really! Microsoft and Google have their own reasons for dangling freebies at Windows users — more about that later. But whatever their motivations, using online suites could mean more money in your pocket.
But before I get into the details, let's clarify some confusing terminology.
Four months ago, "Office Web Apps" was a backwater website that seemed to be a weak adjunct to the desktop version of Office. Then Microsoft launched Office Online and kicked the old website into the bit bucket.
For this article, I'll review Word Online, Excel Online, and PowerPoint Online — the most popular parts of the various Office Online components (see Figure 1).

The second thing that has me stumped is how to achieve a consistent (white) background throughout a stop motion. FCPX's 'Match Color' works well for video, but seems to produce extremely inconsistent results for pictures, even across a simple ten-frame animation. I could use Photoshop, but would prefer not to. Here's one of the aforementioned ten-frames:

Rendezvous 2017
Sign aboard for a special voyage from Bermuda to Boston and various ports in Canada, including Quebec City.
A majestic fleet of international tall ships, including Picton Castle, will sail together, racing and cruising in company, to the various ports that make up the Rendezvous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta.
Unlike other voyages where you are required to sign on for months at a time, you can sail aboard Picton Castle for as little as two weeks on this voyage. Use your vacation time to fulfil a dream!
This voyage begins June 1, 2017 and runs until about August 16, 2017. Exact dates and ports will be confirmed soon. Men and women ages 16+ of all nationalities are welcome to apply.
Bermuda & The Real West Indies
As winter takes hold in the Northern latitudes, sail the Caribbean aboard the square rigged training ship Picton Castle.
This voyage both begins and ends in Bermuda, making a circle around the Caribbean Sea. Sign on for Leg 1 to sail south, then island-hop amongst the islands of the Windward and Leeward Isles. On Leg 2, sail the coast of the Caribbean Sea to ports of the Spanish Main before heading north to return to Bermuda.
This voyage begins January 4, 2017 and ends May 31, 2017 and is open to men and women ages 18+. No sailing experience is necessary, just a strong back and a willing heart!
Back-to-Back Transatlantics
Sail across the Atlantic twice, the first time from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada to France, and the second time for the return trip.
This voyage is open to men and women ages 18+ who have some relevant seagoing experience. The ability to speak both English and French is an asset.
The voyage begins April 18, 2016 and runs until July 31, 2016.
Transatlantic Voyage
For years, we've wanted to make another voyage to Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, to return to some of our favourite ports and to sail in the prevailing westerly winds in the North Atlantic and the sweet trade winds from Cape Verde to the Caribbean.
We're happy to announce the Transatlantic Voyage, starting in October 2015. Starting and ending at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, complete a circle of the Atlantic basin under square sail. Along the way, call at ports in the Azores, Spain, Portugal, Senegal and the West Indies. Sail for the full six months of the voyage or sail for a leg of the voyage.
Anyone can join the crew, all you need is a strong back and a willing heart. No sailing experience is necessary. As a trainee, you'll be involved in all aspects of sailing the ship, learning under sail from our qualified professional crew.
If you've dreamed of sailing a tall ship across the Atlantic, this is your chance!

Hot answers tagged sealing
I always leave a blob of caulk on the tip that's large enough for me to grab onto. It dries and seals the rest of the tube. When I'm ready to use the tube again, I just pull it off.
Standing water in the bottom of the dish washer after a cleaning cycle is complete is NOT normal. After the wash/rinse cycle and the pump out your dishwasher not have water in it. Standing water could be due to number of problems. I'll list out some of the things to check on. 1) There is a possibility that the filter screen in the bottom of your washer is ...
Plastic wrap (Saran wrap) and an elastic band.
Use two of the wax seals stacked on top of one another. It takes more squishing to set the toilet down, but the seal is a lot more resilient to shifting. My plumber gave me this tip, and it seems to have worked the two times I used it.
I would caulk any joint between fiberglass and tile. Some pre-made fiberglass kits have ways to overlap and seal the joint, but that doesn't appear to be your situation. Water coming out of the shower will be much more significant than any moisture that makes it through the tiles and grout. That said, if moisture eventually deteriorates the walls and tiles, ...
You first need to fill in the cracks. Home Depot has a variety of products available. Some are latex based that are easy to apply but probably best used for smaller cracks up to 1/2" wide. Others are cold patches that you have to compress with a tamper or by driving over them a few times. Some need to be heated with a propane torch. Those I believe are the ...
If the cost of raising the patio is too great you could get an angle grinder or perhaps a better choice would be renting a concrete wet saw and cut out a strip about 6 inches wide from the edge that meets the house wall. As @woodchips points out in his comment, make sure you wear gloves, safety goggle and a mask for this. It'll get hot, but it's very dusty ...
The door gasket on your dishwasher may not be sealing - check that for sure. I would: Stop using the dishwasher for a week to let the area dry out. Mask off the formica/laminate in front. Use a solvent-based polyurethane (exterior grade) on the particle board that is crumbling. This will soak in and hopefully glue it all back together. Think about gluing ...
According to the sealant data sheet, you can seal new grout after 48 hours. For me I would play it safe if I could (do you have to be able to use this bathroom?), if the grout says no water for 7 days I would wait that long before sealing. That is probably overly cautious but then I don't get much work done during the week anyway so for me waiting until ...
Check your manual! It should say. My dishwasher specifically states that there should always be a small amount of water remaining in the dishwasher, and if there isn't (say during first run after installation) you should add several cups of water. Source:GE Dishwasher manual (PDF)
I don't believe rock salt is actually harmful to unsealed asphalt (assuming that's what the driveway is made of). I used it for several years on the unsealed asphalt driveway at my old house and never had problems. It doesn't look pretty, and while it's in use the driveway will of course have white splotches all over it, but those will wash off in the ...
I've always used a drywall screw. It seems to last a few months depending on the type of caulk.
The rubbery sealant is bathroom (or general-purpose) silicone caulk. As to why they don't use it between every tile, the answer is that it shouldn't be necessary; except for the one row of tile overhanging the "backsplash" of a "built-in" tub (helps keep minor splashes and overflow from seeping into the wall behind the tub), all tiles should be fixed to the ...
Put the cord/hole in the top of the door, and it really won't matter: The cold air is heavier than the air around it. So your freezer full of cold air is like a bucket of water: the cold air is trying to flow out only where gravity will let it. Other than the stirring of air causing the mingling of warm and cold air, a freezer doesn't need a top at all. ...
I'd first check for leaks. Even a tiny crack can let a lot of cold air in over time. Caulking would be the proper solution, but since you're renting, foam weatherstripping tape may be a quicker/cheaper solution. Next, if the window is single-paned or otherwise just poor quality, the cold could be coming straight through the glass. (This is probably more ...
All you need to do is leave the grout to dry before getting it wet. The instructions should tell you for how long. As you and others have pointed out drying and curing are separate things. While you can use the shower after the grout is dried you may need to leave it for a day or two after it's cured before sealing. You don't want to seal any moisture in.
Not an uncommon problem. Most of those metal railings are made of wroght iron, which is a very soft steel. When you sand them off and don't level the "pits", the rust will come back time after time. It is absolutely necessary to clean out all the "pits" as much as possible, then treat the area with a rust converter before priming to paint. Rust ...
There are 2 basic categories for wood finishes; those that penetrate, and those that coat. Linseed oil, wax, "hand rubbed polish" finishes are all examples of a penetrating finish. Varnish, lacquer, shellac are examples of coating finishes. There are many different reasons to choose one over the other. Some factors: what type of wood how will the wood be ...
I would personally use Loctite PL Polyurethane Concrete Crack & Masonry Sealant, which will adhere well but still provide a degree of flexibility as your pipe moves within the brick. It's grey, but you can also mix in a little concrete dust or dirt to give it that "I'm not shiny caulk, honest!" look. The PL product should be available at your local ...
In these situations, I use bulkhead fittings. It saves the annoyance to getting this stuff to seal properly, any slight leverage and there's now a leak. These are available in several sizes at most plumbing supply stores. If there's a gentle curve to the surface this has to penetrate, I've used a large O-ring instead of the supplied gasket. They're available ...
Plexiglas (poly (methyl methacrylate)) is strongly attacked by xylene, one of the solvents in the sealant you selected. I'd expect the sealant to soften the plexiglas and probably also whatever plastic the air conditioner is made of.
I like clear silicone caulk for this kind of job. It will remain flexible after curing, so if the pipe gets bumped or moved around it won't break or crack like expanding foam. And the clear caulk won't stand out since it cures to a translucent light grey color which is similar to the siding.
There are a few different ways I've seen this done. The best way is to trench around the outside of the foundation down to the footer, seal the outside of the wall, and install a drainage system (gravel and pipes) at the footer to redirect the water to a sump pit where it can be pumped out. Next best way is to do basicly the same thing, but on the inside ...
If the gap isn't too big, regular caulk will seal the gap between it and the wall. If you're using it at the top of the baseboard and can get it in the same color as the baseboard, you might not even have to paint it.
They do make stain specifically for marine use. Doesn't say specifically that it's environmentally friendly, but the MSDS sheet does say it's water soluble. The same manufacturer has environmentally friendly stains as well, but I have no idea how well they might work (or exactly what "environmentally friendly" means to them).
If your leaking problem is from loose fitting window sashes or a poor fitting door, the simplest and cheapest method would be to purchase some self-adhesive foam weather stripping. This rolled product can be easily installed at the bottom of a window or around the outside edge of the door frame. Select the smallest size that will help seal the gaps, then ...
I'd opt for a fire resistant silicone sealant such as this one >> http://www.bostik.co.uk/construction/product/bostik/Fireseal-Silicone-Joint-Sealant/340 That's from a UK site, but I'm sure there are similar products in your part of the world. When it comes to cement then flexibility is usually imparted by including lime in the mortar - although that's a ...
After looking at the installation guide (direct link to PDF), it needs to be fixed to the door face that closes onto the stop beads (which are usually attached to the inside face of the door frame), or put another way, the opposite face from the hinges pins.

"Great Shades!!!"
By Lin Loves Levelor from Lancaster
Ordered these because I already love Levolor....we have them in several windows in the house. We tried the room darkening this time and they are amazing--really darken!!! The color is just as shown on the sample and matches the room perfectly. I will order Levelor again.View this product

Performance for Silverlight Mobile
Learn tips and tricks to make your application smoother, things to avoid in various stages of development. Important basic links to get you on board with performance.
1. Shane Guillet, Performance Test lead on Silverlight team talks about Optimizing Windows Phone Applications in a video.
2. White paper elaborating this with samples can be found here: Creating High Performance windows phone application.
This paper is in a doc file and it was recommended to make it available in general HTML for viewing without any downloads. We will have this rolled out on MSDN soon, posted it here to give you a head start.
If you are new to Silverlight mobile, Mix10 videos are a great place to start. Specifically for performance, I highly recommend Seema's presentation Performance@mix10.
Updated, you can now find the performance document at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff967560(v=VS.92).aspx
