Were these instructions helpful?
Removed broken bin by hand.Replaced new bin by hand.Removed old filter by hand.Raplaced new filter by hand.The End
It was really easy. Took off grill at bottom of refrigerator, turned existing filter to get it out and then inserted the new one.
Removed two screws holding the filter housing. Pulled filter and housing out far enough to remove inlet and outlet lines.Replaced inlet and outlet lines( precautionary) in filter housing, installed new filter.
Just turn old filter counterclockwise, pulli it out, insert the new filter from "Part Select" clockwise and WALLLA!!!!...we have fresh clean water.That easy a caveman can do it.
After cutting supply line to ice maker and using syringe to back feed ice maker discharge outlet- I learned that there was no freeze blockage in supply.Using nut driver, the valve was removed and electrical and water lines removed and reinstalled on new valve.Reinstallation of assembly using nut driver completed the whole repair in less than 5 minutes.The part was a perfect match. Thanks
Twisted the knob on the bottom front of the refrigerator that holds the filter in place. Inserted new filter and it was done !
First I removed the bolt that holds the cover on the top hinge bracket. Then I removed all items from the shelves inside the door by lifting the shelves out and placing them on the counter. Next I removed the 3 screws holding the hinge bracket on, this disconnects the top of the door from the cabinet. Then I lifted the door off the lower cam, removed the screws that held the cam in place on the door and the lower bracket on the cabinet and replaced the cams. I smeared some Vaselene on the cams and placed the door back on the lower cam, reconnected the upper hinge and replaced the hinge cover. All done and it works great!
The first step was to go to PartSelect.com to find where the filter is located because that is not revealed in Whirlpool's Guide. This refrigerator came with the home I had just puchased so Iwas unfamiliar with the filter replacement. Th filter is on the grill at the bottom of the refrigerator. I followed the instructions helpfully printed on the replacement cartridge box which arrived in less than the 3-5 days acknowledged on my order.Turn the filter handle 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Don't be timid. It was very tight (probably had not been replaced ever). Remove the filter from the handle that protrudes through the grill at the bottom of the front of the refrigerator.Insert the new cartridge into the filter handle insert snugly until it goes no further and turn 1/4 clockwise.The instructions on the replacement cartridge tell you to run the water for 5 minutes to remove air and sediment from the system. DO NOT skip this step. I was. I discovered a large amount of sediment after even three minutes of flushing. A 5-gallon pale will help. And don't forget to turn off the ice maker while you are flushing. Otherwise you will end up with ice cubes everywhere as you try to position the bucket under the water dispenser.
Turned the lock knob on the filter and removed. put lock knob on new filter and installed.Very user friendly website, would highly recommend to anyone.
Removed the old filter (it screws out) an put the new one in!
Used pliers to help turn knob 1/4 turn to left removed filter; replaced with new filter.Probably need new outer cap.
It was really easy to do. The water filter is in the front of the refrigerator. Less than 30 seconds. I am very happy with PartSelect. I bought parts for my dryer too. New lint filter, timer knob and door handle. Parts arrive immediately. I am sure I will be back to PartSelect.com.
Remove the kick panel and simply turn the filter counter clockwise and it slips right out.Water shuts off when filter is removed.After new filter is installed be sure to bleed line thru the water outlet in door to clear air in system.When first water is bled the water will continue to run until line drains. Then comes the air.Bleed until water is clear.Its an easy job and can save you$$$$$.Ray Palm Bch Fl.
Unscrewed the old one (Half turn) and screwed in the new one.

Shane Flanagan was keen to play down the significance of his much-publicised return to the Cronulla coaching box after watching his team brush aside the Warriors 28-4 in their NRL home clash on Sunday.
Flanagan was restored to his position last Friday, having been stood down by the board following the Australian Sport Anti Doping Authority's (ASADA) investigation into the club.
The Sharks were never forced to get out of third gear as the Warriors produced a feeble performance and Flanagan said he was just happy to be focusing on winning games instead worrying about his future.
"I'm sick of the attention to tell you the truth," Flanagan said.
"Gal (Paul Gallen) thinks I'm loving it but I just want to coach the footy team now.
"We got the job done. It wasnt tidy in the second half but we did enough in the first."
The Sharks ran in five tries, with John Morris, Beau Ryan, Michael Gordon, Sam Tagataese and Jeff Robson going over, and the coach praised his side's execution.
"We were really clinical in that first half," Flanagan said.
"We stuck to our plan, went through middle of them and went to the back-rowers which is our strength.
"I was disappointed with our second half but sometimes that happens in these games, especially on hot days."
Matthew Elliott's Warriors scored a last consolation try through Konrad Hurrell, but there was little to cheer for the 2011 grand finalists, who have now lost their last 11 games stretching back to round 18 last year.
They have also failed to score in the first half of a game this year and Elliott admitted he needed to find some answers.
"We need to have a look at our preparation, there's some work to do," he said.
"We've lost some players to injury so we're asking a lot of young inexperienced players to play top quality opposition."
Elliott also revealed flying winger Glen Fisiiahi was forced to withdraw from the game after his sister lost her battle with cancer.
"Glen is someone we all really care about but he is not in a good shape at the moment.
"We had our reasons to play well and didn't."
Sharks captain Gallen admitted the 35 degree heat at pitchside was challenging for his side and Elliott said the huge number of errors from his side made the temperature a bigger factor that it should have been.
"It was a factor because we made it a factor," he said.
"In the first half they had 30 more plays than us. The lack of possession was down to our errors.
"But this won't quell my optimism about this team or this group of players."

Demand for athletic fields baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse is up in Salt Lake City. And fees may not be far behind.
"Everything seems to be growing," said Rick Graham, director of Public Services. "But our field space is not."
The solution: a hike that could double fees in some cases and, in others, may be equivalent to a quadruple increase.
The proposal, Graham said, seeks to raise revenue, but more importantly aims to keep leagues from reserving field times they don't use.
Since 2003, athletic organizations have been able to reserve fields for $15 a week. That has resulted in leagues reserving large blocks of field time and, in some instances, fields went unused, Graham said. That also kept others from getting time on fields because the reservation list was booked up.
"We need to be more defined in how we reserve and use those fields," he said.
According to Graham's proposal to the Salt Lake City Council, the fee structure would be changed from weekly to hourly: Nonprofit youth organizations would pay $2 an hour; for-profit youth organizations would pay $4 an hour; and adult leagues would pay $5 an hour.
Concession stand fees would jump from $100 per season to $100 per month. A four-month season would then cost an organization $400, according to the proposal.
And not least, long-standing leagues that have "grandfathered" field reservations a guarantee of the same fields and times every year would lose that privilege when Salt Lake City completes construction of its northwest soccer complex in 2015.
For leagues like Rose Park Cal Ripken Baseball, the proposal is bad news, said organizer Jenifer Briseno.
The relatively small Little League has been playing on the west and east fields at Riverside Park since 1953. Briseno fears the elimination of "grandfathered" field times could leave the community league without a place to play.
This year, the league will field 15 teams in two age groups: 5 to 8 years old; and 9 to 12.
"What's sad is that the larger leagues will push out the littler leagues," she said. "These community kids need someplace to play. This keeps them off the streets."
The Rose Park league could, with some difficulty, absorb the increase to hourly fees. But the proposed concession fee increase would be burdensome, Briseno said.
"We are a low-income area with a lot of families that have a hard time with our $65 registration fee," she said.
The fee proposal is aimed at "a better use of a limited resource," said Council Chairman Kyle LaMalfa. "But it comes down to fees. And nobody likes to pay increased fees."
Nonetheless, it makes sense, he said, to find a solution that maximizes field use to accommodate more leagues and teams.
"My sense is there is support [among council members] in switching fees to an hourly basis," LaMalfa said.
But the council chairman also said he sensed that long-standing leagues would object to eliminating "grandfathered" reservations.
"That could be the sleeping giant" in the debate, he said.
The City Council will hold a public hearing on the fee proposal at 7 p.m. March 26 at 451 S. State St., Room 315.
What's next
Public hearing 7 p.m. March 26, 451 S. State, room 315 Proposed athletic field fees
Nonprofit youth organizations • $2/hour
For-profit youth organizations • $4/hour
Adult organizations • $5/hour

If i've understood well,
You got a client (wireless connection)
You want it to connecto to YOU on your wireless interface
Link your wireless interface to your wired interface
and your wired interface connected on your router ?
##Client## ---- Wireless ---- ##Wlan0 -> Computer -> Eth0## ---- Wired ---- ##Router##
If it is, then what i should have done is :
Setting up a Fake Ap (it will use Wlan0 as a fake access point, and eth0 to get access to the internet)
Since datas go through wlan0 and eth0, no need of MITm with ettercap, because it's a MITM in itself.
Let's just capture packets with wireshark, apply filters if you want to see only your client's packets, and i think u're done.
I hope u'll understand my answer (i'm french T-T), anyway, if i've misunderstood something, or if i've not been clear enough PM me

Group Logic Response to Xserve End of Life Announcement
Today Apple announced the end of life for the Xserve family of rack mount server hardware. What does this mean for you, the Xserve customer?
Apple recommends that you upgrade your Xserve hardware to Mac Pro or Mac Mini hardware. These systems support nearly all of the software functions of Xserve, but neither provides the data center ready form factor and remote LOM management functionality of Xserve. Given those limitations, you may decide to migrate to another server platform such as Windows or Linux.
If you decide to migrate to Windows, Group Logic can help as we provide a range of software tools to support Macs connecting to Windows servers and support those tools with a strong technical support team well versed in multi-platform solutions. In response to customer feedback, we've also modified our pricing to provide flexible licensing options for a range of enterprise requirements and launched a new education pricing program for campus-wide deployments.
The Windows ecosystem has a wide range of tools that support your Xserve transition and supports nearly all of the critical functions that you need to replace. Group Logic and our partners in the Enterprise Desktop Alliance are just part of the extended ecosystem for integrating Macs into the infrastructure.
For more details on this announcement and your alternatives to Xserve, see our Xserve End of Life – Frequently Asked Questions page.
If you have questions or suggestions about your migration, please call us at +1.703.528.155 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

MELROSE PARK, IL -- Inspired by the blockbuster Star Trek films, the latest pinball machine from Stern Pinball Inc. puts players in Captain James Kirk's chair on the U.S.S. Enterprise. It's the fifth pinball adaptation based on the enduring pop culture, science fiction property that dates back to D. Gottlieb & Co.'s electromechanical model in 1971.
Stern's contemporary machine has the bells and whistles to please Star Trek and pinball fans alike, the manufacturer said. They include adrenaline-fueled battles, high-definition artwork, cosmic LED lighting and classic musical scores. The game was designed to evoke the sensation of moving through space at warp speed, and encapsulates the story of rescuing Spock and defeating the U.S.S. Vengeance, a theme in the latest film from Paramount Pictures, "Star Trek Into Darkness."
"The Star Trek pinball machine celebrates the much-loved sci-fi franchise by bringing fans a whole new adventure right at their fingertips," said chief executive Gary Stern.
The new game boasts an animated battleship, lightning-fast ramps, three flipper controls and resettable memory drop targets. Star Trek is sold in three versions:
» Pro, $5,395
» Premium, $7,495
» Limited Edition, $8,795
Star Trek is the first all-LED model in Stern's Pro line. The Pro playfield has eight multicolored LED paths that guide players along color-coded routes. There are six missions for casual players, exceeded by 18 complex treks to more deeply immerse experienced players into the game's features. As players attack an oncoming threat with three action-centered flippers, the all-LED playfield enhances the gaming experience with such features as "phaser" flashes and photon torpedoes.
According to the manufacturer, players will instinctively know what to do when they approach a Star Trek game: Destroy the Vengeance, the dominant element on the playfield. After they launch a ball, players can unlock special opportunities, collect bonus features and win a series of accolades called the Captain's Chair. The pinball machine highlights the battle between the heroic Enterprise crew and the nefarious Khan, as well as run-ins with Nero, the Klingons and the Narada.
In addition to Gottlieb's original, other Star Trek pinballs were built by Bally Manufacturing Corp. in 1978, Data East Pinball Inc. in 1991 and Williams Electronics Games Inc. in 1993. Stern's new pin game was designed by Steve Richie and Greg Freres, who had created Williams' Star Trek: The Next Generation 20 years ago.

Democrats target GOP clerk in Niagara election petition dispute
LOCKPORT – Niagara County Democrats this week asked the Sheriff's Office to investigate whether County Legislature Clerk Mary Jo Tamburlin notarized a false statement on an election petition, which would be a crime.
Sheriff James R. Voutour, a Democrat, said Wednesday that the investigation "will take some time."
Democrats have formally challenged the validity of the petition at the county Board of Elections, but there has not yet been a ruling.
Tamburlin, a North Tonawanda Republican and a notary public, used her authority in the latter role to gather signatures last week for a petition to require a write-in primary in the Working Families Party for legislator in the 5th District.
The minor party has endorsed Democratic incumbent Jason A. Zona in the district, which covers the Town of Niagara and part of Niagara Falls. The Republicans are running former Legislator Giulio G. Colangelo against Zona.
The "opportunity to ballot" petition would give the GOP candidate a chance to grab the Working Families line if he could muster enough write-in signatures to beat Zona, whose name would be the only one on the printed ballot.
Notaries and commissioners of deeds are allowed to gather signatures on petitions in any political party, something Colangelo, a registered member of the Independence Party, could not have done legally by himself.
The problem allegedly arose on the night of July 17, the day before the deadline to file opportunity to ballot petitions. The Republicans needed three valid signatures from Working Families Party members to make the petition valid.
They faced a problem because there are only 55 members of that party in the 5th District, and Zona had gotten 42 of them to sign his nominating petition. That disqualified them from signing any other petition connected to the Legislature seat.
The 13 voters Zona didn't get either lived in nursing homes, had moved or were otherwise unavailable, Zona said.
"I made a concerted effort to hit every Working Families voter in my district, to prevent efforts like this," Zona said.
"I knew the only way they could do it was to register new voters. Unfortunately, they waited until the last minute to do it."
Colangelo said he was present when Tamburlin obtained the signatures of three men on the evening of July 17, having them sign voter-registration cards to join the Working Families Party, as well as the opportunity to petition.
The Democrats pounced when Tamburlin submitted the petition with all the signatures dated July 18. Since the three signers had signed voter cards the night before, they wouldn't have been submitted until business hours on July 18, meaning the three weren't registered with Working Families when they signed the petition.
The Democrats obtained signed affidavits from the three new voters. Two said they signed July 17, and one said he signed July 16. The petition, examined by The Buffalo News, showed the date "7/18" for each, with every date in what appeared to be the same handwriting. There was no indication of cross-outs or white-outs.
Tamburlin declined to comment. But Colangelo said, "I've done nothing wrong. I wasn't with her when she filed the petition, when she authorized the signatures. I'm trying to run a clean campaign. I want to focus on the issues, what's important to my district. … I would not be foolish enough to tamper with election documents. My integrity will not allow it."
Zona said, "To me, every line's a big deal. You can't argue the success of the Republican Party over the last decade, and one reason is, they control the Conservative and Independence parties, hands down, and they have completely infiltrated the Working Families line."

Letter to MSNBC urging disclosure of pollster Luntz's GOP ties, questionable standards
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Richard Kaplan
One MSNBC Plaza
Secaucus, NJ 07094
Dear Mr. Kaplan:
Based on your channel's programming and editorial decisions during the 2000 presidential debates, I anticipate you are considering featuring Republican pollster Frank Luntz, CEO and president of Luntz Research Companies, as part of the network's analysis of this year's presidential debates. I'm writing to ask that, if you have already chosen to include Luntz as part of your coverage, you reconsider that decision in light of Luntz's partisan Republican ties and history of questionable scientific methodology. If Luntz must be a part of MSNBC's lineup, I would expect that its viewers will be informed of these facts on-air.
As Salon.com reported in 2000, there is little reason to trust a poll taken by Frank Luntz, who was reprimanded in 1997 by the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) for his work polling for the Republican Party's 1994 "Contract with America" campaign platform. According to Salon.com: "Luntz told the media that everything in the contract had the support of at least 60 percent of the general public," but when a member of the AAPOR "filed a complaint requesting to see Luntz's research and verification of the figure," Luntz refused, citing "client confidentiality." Salon.com described Luntz as "possibly the best example of what we could call the pollster pundit: someone who both purports to scientifically poll the opinions of the public, and then also interpret that data to support his own -- in Luntz's case, conservative -- point of view." Salon.com added that, according to David W. Moore, author of the book The Super Pollsters, Luntz's work is little more than "propaganda" disguised as research. Luntz has explained his own methodology as follows: "Say you poll on an environmental issue, and on eight of the 10 questions the numbers are in your favor. Why release the other two? It's like being a lawyer."
I sincerely hope your channel will not repeat the mistakes made during its coverage of the 2004 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, when MSNBC anchors and commentators failed to even once mention Luntz's partisan Republican ties or questionable polling standards during three appearances in which he touted flawed focus groups.
Though the overall results of Luntz's convention studies were not overtly in favor of either presidential candidate, three of his four focus groups were institutionally biased toward President George W. Bush. One Luntz focus group held during the DNC compared the views of Gore 2000 voters to Bush 2000 voters. Yet in three other groups (one during the DNC and two during the RNC) Luntz compared Republicans' reactions to speeches to the combined reactions of Democrats and Independents and then wrongly labeled the groups as "Republicans" and "Democrats" during his September 2 appearance on MSNBC.
Your channel's failure to identify Luntz's party affiliation notwithstanding, this pollster has made clear his preference for the 2004 presidential election. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported on September 2: "Earlier this year, GOP pollster Frank Luntz advised Republicans to never talk about Iraq or homeland security without first mentioning how 9/11 changed everything." The Cleveland Plain Dealer noted on September 1 that "Republican pollster Frank Luntz did his best Tuesday to pump up Ohio's Republicans at a delegation breakfast. 'If you guys fail, if John Kerry becomes president by a percent or half a percent, I think you're going to be pretty regretful,' he said."
I trust that as a reputable media organization, MSNBC will agree to provide full disclosure of all relevant information regarding its commentators and pollsters in the future. I look forward to monitoring your channel's coverage of the upcoming debates.

Most listings are in the $10's per square foot per year. The Missoula submarket is going through a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate fell $3 per sqft per year. That's a 15% decline in rent.
In the last 90 days, 62 listings have been posted online, so you'll want to check back regularly for new listings. About 24% of the available leases in the Missoula are subleases, so you might be able to find a shorter term or below market rent. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 2,050 sqft. Most buildings in this area are around 2 stories. Most buildings in this area were built in 1971 and are Class C.

Post subject: 49ers season preference
Im not saying that we will reach any of these scenerios this season, but in the near future, which would you guys prefer of the 3 scenerios?
1) 49ers have a really good season and make it to the playoffs. We battle hard and reach the Super Bowl. But, in the Super Bowl, we lose by 24+ points. So we had a good season, reached the Big game and got our butts handed to us.
2) 49ers have a really good season and make the playoffs. We battle hard and reach the Super Bowl. We play close the entire game and lose the game on a blown call by the refs. It isnt overturned and we lose the Super Bowl because of it. We had a good season, reached the Big game and took a loss in the Super Bowl completely because of the refs.
3) 49ers have a really good season and make the playoffs. We battle hard in the NFC Championship game but lose out. We dont make it to the Super Bowl, but we keep our perfect record in Super Bowl play.

Personally myself the undefeated record in the Superbowl is not that important of a record to me.The 5 wins are.I would prefer to make it to the Superbowl and lose on a bad call by the refs.The other two scenerios are not real appeasing to me heres why.
1)Losing by 24+ points in the Super bowl would be horrible not only for the niners confidence and moral(our team is very young.) but also because it would only add fire to the debate that the AFC is BY FAR the better conference.I personally see the balance shifting back to the NFC within the next 5 years.
3)Although making the playoffs would be great,and making the NFC championship game would be even better.There would be a feeling of let down to have made it that far and not have won.Plus there was no mention as to what the score could be.
IT could be final score Saints 49 49ers 7
.That would not sit well with any of us.
If the refs make a bad call it's nothing that our team can control.I think this would be the one scenerio where the team would be hungry the next season, without any let down.Plus if the game was that close in the Superbowl that it came down to a bad call by the refs it would show just how improved that not only the 49ers are but also how much better the NFC has become.

Good hypothetical here, Angel. All scenarios are double-edged, but the one that would crush me the least would be the 3rd one. I hear what you're saying Kaybra, but Angel did say we battle hard, and that would suggest to me a close battle ( maybe that's just me ). If we lost due to a ref call, someone or multiple people would lose their lives, and I don't want that. Same loss of life could be linked to the SB blowout loss.
My only option is #3, where it will hurt, but we would know how achievable the SB goal will be in 08.

Well, if I put that as an option and someone chose somethiong else, they should be chased outta here and never allowed to return
Oldman, you are right, I was thinking a competitive game for the NFC Championship game. Something where we were could still come back later in the game, something other than a blowout. I probably shoulda mentioned that in the original post, my bad.

I thought back to the other super bowls that I remember...losing big sucks no matter how you look at it (remember the chargers?)... I dont really care about the undefeated super bowl record either, but I chose the last one because I cant remember any team in recent memory that was good enough to win the big game, got screwed, and then came back and won it the next year. They end up losing alot of players just like the winners do. I think losing in the championship game would be more important to our franchise because the players would be that much hungrier. To have a taste of the big show and just miss because you're not quite there yet, would pi$$ me off way more than knowing I could/should have won it all. Thats important these days with the egos these players have. I think #3 would have a better chance of lighting a fire throughout the organization.

I would never want to lose the superbowl on a blown call by the refs, blatant or not. No one likes to hear about how your team got screwed, I know I hate it when I hear seahawks fans complain even though I think they did blow some calls. Id rather lose decisively then always knowing in the back of my head we should have yet another superbowl victory. Plus I wouldnt want to taint the win for whoever did happen to beat us.

It would have to be #3. No one wants to get blown out and we will be motivated the following year after a close loss in th NFC champ game. Plus FA would want to come to us to help get a ring and get over the hump

NFC championship game loss has to be it for me. IF the niners made the superbowl I would be so pumped up that either of the two losses mentioned would crush me, especially given the fact we would lose our perfect SB record. Making the NFC finals would still be a great season and a huge stride for our team in the right direction. If we won that game however, I would just have that feeling that we could beat anyone, and losing after you feel that is always tougher for me. If we were to lose to a team in the NFC, like say the Saints, who seem to be the better team at this point, you never really have as huge a letdown.
I also
do not
want the last football game I see to be a niners loss.
I would much rather watch a semi-neutral game the next week to help get that out of my system

How about more realistic choices for next season such as:
1. Win the division but lose in the playoffs by 20
2. Earn a wildcard spot but lose in a close game
3. Win 10 games but due to Strength of Schedule and other such things fail to make the playoffs

John Mayer Gossip
John Mayer gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Katy & John: over again?
Fame, Charley Gallay/ Getty
John Mayer was not with Katy Perry last week for the BRIT Awards and Milan Fashion Week. She was booed there because she was apparently late arriving to one of the shows, although some say she was told to be there at the time she was there and shouldn't be blamed for the miscommunication. Then she went to a Miley Cyrus show and they kissed. Full Story
Katy Perry & John Mayer engaged?
AKM-GSI / Splash News, FameFlynet
Katy Perry stepped out with John Mayer on Valentine's Day wearing a ring on that finger and the internet said they're engaged. E! News and US Weekly then immediately reported that they're not engaged…but that it could be happening soon. Full Story
Katy Perry's Beatles cape
Kevin Winter/ Larry Busacca/ Frazer Harrison/ Getty
You know what? I like this outfit way more than her Grammys dress – the one that looked like it was fashioned from an Ikea duvet cover, click here for a refresher. This is Katy Perry at the Grammys Beatles tribute last night. It looks like she performed. Full Story
Katy Perry and the brooms
Wenn, Kevork Djansezian/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
Like I said on Twitter, I would be impressed if she'd started playing Quidditch. But there was no Quidditch. There was only more camouflage. For what? Haven't you noticed by now the lengths they will go to to distract you from the fact that Katy Perry can't dance? If it's not a boxing ring, it's geishas. Full Story
Katy & John onstage together
Zachary Mazur /WireImage
John Mayer performed last night in Brooklyn. And since he and Katy Perry duet together on Who You Love, he brought her out on stage to sing with him. Do you like this song? Because I don't like this song. I don't like any of his songs. I like more of her songs than his songs. Yeah I said it. Full Story
Katy Perry & John Mayer: Who You Love on video
Steffman-Turgeon / Splash News
They love each other. At least that's the narrative right now because they're promoting their new song Who You Love. And the video too. Katy Perry and John Mayer were on Good Morning America today, together, for its release. By fame standards then, at this point they're practically married. Full Story
John & Katy like James and Carly?
John Mayer is releasing a new single called Who You Love, a duet with girlfriend Katy Perry. They posed together for their first official portraits as cover art for the track. More photos were then posted exclusively at Vanity Fair. Shot by Mario Sorrenti (you probably know him best for his work with Kate Moss), there's a late 60s/early 70s vibe to the images, like here: Full Story
I know that look…
Wenn, FameFlynet
Katy Perry's been in London the last couple of days promoting her new album Prism. John Mayer is with her on the trip and the two partied at Shoreditch House last night though they tried not to be shot together while they were leaving. Let's play Photo Assumption, our favourite game of baseless conclusions. Full Story
Katy Perry loves a "genius"
Katy Perry covers the new issue of BILLBOARD. 5 years ago, when Katy Perry first broke out, did you think that she would go on to become "the first woman, and second artist overall following Michael Jackson, in the 55-year history of the BILLBOARD Hot 100 to send five songs from the same album to No. Full Story
Katy's look of love
Katy Perry was backstage at John Mayer's show in West Palm Beach, Florida last night watching him perform. She had on her look of love. Katy's riding a professional high right now. Be honest, did you ever think, back in 2008 when I Kissed A Girl came out that Katy Perry would follow that up with TWO more mega albums? If Roar is any indication, Prism is going to be huge. Full Story
Katy Perry & John Mayer: public declarations of love
Larry Busacca/ Getty
She told the world – via Vogue – that despite it being "over", she was still "madly in love with him". And now, in his way, she's done the same. Sort of. John Mayer kicked off his new tour in Milwaukee the other night. Full Story

Good point, thanks for clearing that up Rosi

Eddie Bravo also says on his competition DVD (twister) that in a grappling tourney he was up by a few points but was caught in a choke that was'nt deep, so he started making choking noises so his opponent would keep trying to crank it on rather than go for the sweep which would have made them even on points.

Miley Cyrus tour bus goes up in flames
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus and her concert crew are down a set of wheels after flames engulfed her Bangerz tour bus overnight.
The singer's sister Noah posted a few pictures of the burnt out bus on Instagram, later adding that everyone got out safe and there were no injuries.
Yes, everyone got out safe no one is injured what so ever!! everything is okay!!
— Noah Lindsey Cyrus (@noahcyrus) March 18, 2014
TMZ.com cites sources who say the fire may have been caused by a tire that exploded. The bus was traveling to New Orleans where Miley is scheduled to perform tonight.

Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak has been rushed to hospital after collapsing on the field during his team's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak has been hospitalized after he collapsed at halftime during the National Football League home game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the team said.
"He is conscious and his family is with him," the Texans said in a statement.
There was no word on what caused the 52-year-old Kubiak to collapse as he was leaving the field. The team told local reporters he did not have a heart attack.
Kubiak was taken from the field on a stretcher and rushed to a Houston hospital.
He is the second NFL head coach to be hospitalized this weekend.
Denver Broncos coach John Fox was taken to a hospital in the Charlotte North Carolina on Saturday after feeling light-headed while playing golf.
After testing and further observation, it was determined Fox should undergo surgery for an aortic heart valve replacement early next week.
"He will take a leave of absence from coaching for at least the next several weeks," the Broncos said in a statement.

Buffon says "the style is the man;" there, the room was the man.
Buffon had the right idea when he said, "The style is the man."
But the progress of science, which lowered the reputation of Buffon, has again re-established his fame.
It is certainly curious if true, but it smacks very much of Buffon.
The great Count was always plain Mr. Buffon to his English contemporary.
"Citoyens," he said, "Je me nomme Buffon," and laid his head upon the block.
Buffon may justly be acclaimed as the first populariser of natural history.
Where are the passages in which Buffon affirms the immutability of species?
But it is very hard to say how much Buffon saw and how much he did not see.
Of what date are those in which Buffon declares for variability?

Identity Properties
Identity Properties
In some cases we write functions that have a dual operation, for example *encode* and *decode*, *parse* and *pretty\_print*, or *convert\_to* and *convert\_from*.
Developing both functions at the same time gives an advantage when testing, since one of the properties that one is interested in is
encode(decode(X)) == X.
Surely, one could easily implement functions that guarantee this operation and are still doing the wrong thing, thus only this property is insufficient for testing. That said, it still is a good idea to also check this property and many bugs have been found by simple properties like this.
Erlang R12B has a module base64 in the standard library http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/base64.html. The module has a number of function, among which *encode* and *decode*.
We write the obvious property. Just read the manual: Encodes a plain ASCII string into base64. Use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII wikipedia to remind yourself that a plain ascii character is a value between 0 and 127. Extended ascii goes to 255.
prop_identity() -> ?FORALL(Data,list(plain_ascii_char()), base64:decode(base64:encode(Data)) == Data). plain_ascii_char() -> choose(0,127).
We can run QuickCheck to find out that we haven't specified clear enough.
eqc:quickcheck(base64_eqc:prop_identity()). Failed! After 1 tests. [] false
The authors of the module base64 allow the input of encode to be either a binary or a string, but the result is always a binary. As a result, the encoding of the empty string returns the empty binary.
base64:decode(base64:encode("")). <<>> base64:decode(base64:encode("hello")). <<"hello">>
Seems that we should be more successful if we check that the result is the right binary and more precise is we also allow binaries as input. This makes the specification a bit more complicated and one would probably prefer two different functions if testing and specification were to go before design.
prop_identity() -> ?FORALL(Data,data(), begin Base64 = base64:decode(base64:encode(Data)), if is_list(Data) -> Base64 == list_to_binary(Data); is_binary(Data) -> Base64 == Data end end). data() -> ?LET(AsciiString, list(plain_ascii_char()), oneof([AsciiString,list_to_binary(AsciiString)])).
We can run a few hundred tests on this one and will see that they all pass. Of course, when all tests pass, one starts wondering about the quality of the input data. Inspecting a sample shows that we do test quite a variety, but the data consists of rather short strings.
67> eqc_gen:sample(base64_eqc:data()). <<"]C\t">> <<"ì">> <<"Ä ëÆ">> <<154,25,220,196,225>> [155,237] <<>> <<"kè lcJ">> "ÑV" <<97,76,162,46,216,155>> [72,127,71,113,159] <<28,129,39,246,204,83,204>> ok
Probably we also like to test for some larger inputs. That can be done by replacing *list* by *longlist* in the specification. We define long lists to be about 20 times as long as normal lists:
longlist(G) -> ?SIZED(Size,resize(Size*20,list(resize(Size,G)))).
Another things we can experiment with, is the range of ascii values. Note that we only consider upto 127, but it turns out that even for values up to 255 the two functions are each others compliment.

A 25-year plan for the redevelopment of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain aims to open public space for an $80 million five-star ''Botanic Hotel'' as well as create a new ferry wharf and a Domain railway station.
The master plan, the first in the almost 200-year history of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, will have vacant space about the length of a football pitch next to the Domain car park leased for a 150-room hotel that will have rooftop gardens open to the public.
There will also be a permanent ''sound shell'' adjacent to the Sydney Hospital, where summer season concerts and Carols in the Domain now take place.
The draft plan, obtained by The Sun-Herald, will be released on Sunday with the Trust saying that any land lost will be replaced.
The plan includes 25 proposals to be rolled out in stages over 25 years, including a harbour viewing platform, a plaza and a new shop and cafe.
One significant gain of green space will be a widening of the land bridge linking the gardens and the Domain over the Eastern Distributor.
The master plan has a price tag of more than $130 million, excluding the ferry and wharf projects, with the Trust seeking funding from the private sector as well as the state and federal governments.
It seeks to ring-fence the gardens from commercialisation, focusing on the Domain, which already hosts concerts and events, for development and raising revenue.
The Trust receives about $21 million annually in state government grants for three gardens - the Royal Botanic Gardens, Mount Tomah in the Blue Mountains and Mount Annan - and raises about $25 million through its own revenue raising.
The exclusive hotel would be located on Sir John Young Crescent on the south-east edge of the Domain. The land is leased to property group Challenger and the Trust intends to work with them to find a third party to build and operate the hotel, which would provide the Trust with a revenue stream.
The building would likely be four storeys but, because of the sloping land, would emerge only one storey above the adjacent playing fields which are to be upgraded. The Trust has held discussions with government agencies, including Roads and Maritime Services and government architects, over the plans.
The Domain station, which would be on the T4 Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra Line, and the wharf are at a preliminary stage and would not be financed by the Trust.
New executive director Sydney Parklands and Botanic Gardens, Kim Ellis, said there would be no commercialisation of the gardens and no plans for an entry charge. There would be no loss of green space, he said.
''You don't see any McDonald's, there's no entry fees charged, there's no new gates,'' he said. ''These gardens are free to the public. We want this to be a public facility. There isn't a plan to fill it with coffee shops, to commercialise it, to run it as a pay-for-entry business. This is about putting in amenities that people need.
''Yes there are big dollars in this, but it is over 25 years and we can deliver all of these things.''
Mr Ellis said the railway station and the ferry terminal had not been costed but the Trust wanted to preserve space for public transport.
Last May former prime minister Paul Keating labelled Sydney a ''whore to stimulus'' and called for the preservation of the Royal Botanic Gardens as a green open space as the state government pushed to generate more revenue from the site.
Angered by the increasing use of the gardens to stage opera and film events with bars and food stalls, Mr Keating accused the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust of breaching its duty to the public in pursuit of money and ''moving inexorably to being simply another arena''.
But Mr Ellis said the plan had been developed to ''absolutely protect'' the core of the gardens.
''We have a custodial responsibility to protect this green space. Two hundred years ago someone had the vision to say this should belong to the public,'' he said.
''I am absolutely convinced that this plan is a great plan. It is responsible and responsive - it meets the needs of the people that are using it.''
The plans also include a new building, housing a cafe and shop, inside the QE11 Gate opposite the Opera House to give visitors a better understanding of what the gardens offer.
A plaza will be created between The Pavilion restaurant and the Art Gallery on Art Gallery Road, which could be used for market stalls at weekends, art displays and as a performance space.
A harbour viewing platform at Mrs Macquaries Point will also be built.
The completion of the previously funded $16 million Biome project, a controlled-climate education centre around the existing glass pyramid, along with a children's garden with trails and improved signage throughout the gardens, likely to be first off the block next year, ready for the bicentenary of the gardens in 2016.
Also included is an upgrade to the Waterfront Promenade along Farm Cove which in recent years has been affected by flooding at high tides and during storms.
Domain Lodge and historic depot would become a cafe and kitchen garden and Victoria Lodge will become a function space.
The Trust employs 350 staff.
The gardens attract 4 million visitors a year, up 12.5 per cent to 2013, along with a further 5 million to the Domain.
It is estimated that 15 per cent of all international tourists visit the Royal Botanic Gardens, said to be the world's most visited botanical gardens.
Ian Connolly of architects Cox Richardson which drew up the master plan, said the proposals at Mrs Macquaries Point had taken into consideration any heritage issues. He said: ''Sydney can't rest. You have got to keep looking to improve the experience not only for visitors but for everybody who lives here as well.''
The master plan is on view for public consultation until May 4 at Lion Gate Lodge at the gardens or online at http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/
Correction: This story originally stated there will be a permanent ''sound shell'' adjacent to the Sydney Eye Hospital.

IRS Figure at Center of Scandal Pleads the 5th
(Madeleine Morgenstern) The Internal Revenue Service official at the center of the political targeting scandal invoked her constitutional right not to answer lawmakers' questions on Wednesday, but defiantly asserted that she has done nothing wrong.
Lois Lerner leads the IRS office that determines which organizations receive tax-exempt status, and was the first to publicly disclose earlier this month that the IRS gave extra scrutiny to conservative groups.
"I have not done anything wrong, I have not broken any laws, I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee," Lerner told House Oversight and Government Reform Committee members. "While I would very much like to answer the committee's questions today, I have been advised by my counsel to assert my constitutional right not to testify or answer questions related to the subject manner of this hearing."
Lerner added that by asserting her right not to testify, "I know that some people will assume I have done something wrong. I have not. One of the basic functions of the Fifth Amendment is to protect innocent individuals, and that is the protection I am invoking today."

3D Shoot help!
Hello, my name is Jeremy Debaets and I am the Coordinator of Mineral Baptist Church Archery. We started holding 3D shoots in September of last year. It has been a huge success in my eyes over the last 9 months. Thru sponsorship with local businesses, we have been able to purchase our own targets first of the year. Currently we have 12 lanes that range in the distance of 30 yards and less. We do all of it on donations only. The important thing for us is to get families and friends outdoors each month instead of the couch. We average about 25-35 shooters each month. The question I have it where to go from here! How do I continue to grow the program on a donations only / small town sponsorship budget? Along with that, we use caution tape around our targets to create safe zone for arrow retrieval, is there ways you help to maintain your 3D shoots safe? I am looking for any advice really about 3D shoots. How you laid it out, how you handle safety, how do you maintain targets for longevity, how do you maintain your attendance and continue to encourage new attendees? Does anyone use raised platforms? If so, are there regulations required to be followed and how do you keep people off of them when the shoot is not taking place. I will stop talking now, but any help is very much appreciated.
For the safety issues we use ropes, flags, arrow etc. to keep people on the paths we desire; however the most important thing is to walk your course with an eye towards clear fire zones behind targets. We have built backstops for many of our lanes but that doesn't replace making sure the areas are not in a line of fire from another station. We are in a hilly area which helps as well. We put our targets up the day before and take them down and store them in a locked shed to help preserve them and prevent loss. We have 2 platforms but our properties are behind a locked gate. If someone climbs over the gate or fence and takes the stairs up to the platform then they do, you can't post a guard 24/7. There are no regulations for height etc. With the economy attendance is a problem for all the shoots; we've seen our numbers go down from 120+ on a good day to now our best shoot for the season will be more like 80 and many will run 50-60. Keep varying your courses as best you can and do different things with them. We've had people shoot at a turkeys through a simulated blind; had them shoot from a lock on stand (just get in it from the ground, no climbing), whatever you can come up with. We have a lake so we've put the frog a foot into the water, had the alligator on the bank going down into the water; you just have to be creative - last month we had a deer coming up out of a ravine with most of the body behind the insert blocked by the bank. Make it different, make it fun. The property you have to work with is going to partially dictate what you can do as well.Bear Grizzly, Beman Centershot/Steelforce , Legacy Quiver

Its tough getting an archery club, or shoot established. It takes a few years of building a good reputation of running a safe, fun shoot.
As for safety make sure there is plenty of safe distance behind your target. Depending on the terrain, you may need anywhere from 50-150 yards for a buffer. You always have to plan for some ding dong sky drawing his bow and tripping the release. No matter how much you preach to them not to draw above the target THEY WILL.
As for getting the most life out of your targets!!! I suggest do not angle your targets. Granted it makes it more challenging and fun but it really shortens the life of your target. If you shoot this month with the target at an angle then next month straight or at a different angle you are basically cutting wedges out of your target.
If you are setting all your targets at 30 yards or less then longevity is going to be an issue. At that close they will get hammered. We have 5 different shooting stakes at our club. Yardages from 5-50. We try to keep the comp and MBO stakes out a bit. These are the guys that will shoot the scoring rings right out of a target at close yardages.
Just make sure you charge enough to shoot that you can keep buying replaceable scoring sections. Most clubs in this area charge anywhere from $8.00 to $15.00. $10-12 for the most part.
We never used raised platforms just for insurance reasons. Speaking of which, your insurance carrier may want to inspect your range. Sometimes they can give you some suggestions. Usually they aren't too impressed with an area around the target just being ribbon off.

HHS Details Limits to Medicaid Expansion
States that don't expand their Medicaid rolls to include residents at 133% of the federal poverty level won't get 100% of the matching federal funds made available under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the nation's governors were told Monday.
"Congress directed that the enhanced matching rate be used to expand coverage to 133% of FPL. The law does not provide for a phased-in or partial expansion. As such, we will not consider partial expansions for populations eligible for the 100% matching rate in 2014 through 2016," said a 17-page memorandum sent by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
The memorandum, which touched upon what HHS said were 39 frequently asked questions about Medicaid expansion, market reforms, and healthcare exchanges, left the door slightly open for states that design demonstration programs.
"If a state that declines to expand coverage to 133% of FPL would like to propose a demonstration that includes a partial expansion, we would consider such a proposal to the extent that it furthers the purposes of the program, subject to the regular federal matching rate," said the notice, the 26th item buried on page 11 in the memo.
"For the newly eligible adults, states will have flexibility under the statute to provide benefits benchmarked to commercial plans and they can design different benefit packages for different populations. We also intend to propose further changes related to cost sharing."

Green kudos for Harper-Elliott
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
Harper and Elliott colleges, a residence hall and home of the South Carolina Honors College offices on the historic Horseshoe, are the latest University of South Carolina buildings to receive green accolades.
Harper, built in 1848, and Elliott, built in 1837, underwent significant renovations during the summers of 2011 and 2012, when the buildings' structure along with the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were upgraded. The work earned the buildings the two Green Globes.
The Green Globes system is a building environmental design and management tool. It delivers an online assessment protocol, rating system and guidance for green building design, operation and management. It is interactive, flexible and affordable, and provides market recognition of a building's environmental attributes through third-party verification. The Green Globes system describes a building's environmental performance, giving practical advice for design improvements, offering resources for making upgrades and providing additional information on relevant strategies and technologies. The system is used by large developers and property management companies, including the Canadian federal government, which has adopted the program for its entire real estate holdings.
University Housing worked with contractors and architects to develop a plan for Harper-Elliott that utilized recycled materials, added environmentally-friendly amenities and reduced energy and water consumption. Harper-Elliott is home to 48 students living in apartment-style residences, and houses the Honors College offices.
The two Green Globes is the fourth designation in recognition of USC Housing's efforts to produce environmentally friendly residence halls. West (Green) Quad is Silver LEED certified and the Honors Residence and Patterson Hall are Gold LEED certified.
"We are gradually changing the culture at USC to a more sustainable future. University Housing is committed to green initiatives such as LEED and Green Globes building construction, the Green Dorm Room certification and an annual residence hall energy challenge to help transform the college experience for our students," said Kirsten Kennedy, executive director of University Housing. "These programs create a healthy, safe living and learning environment while promoting a culture of sustainability."

The NSA wins again. You lose
After nearly a year of revelations about the shocking extent of the National Security Agency's surveillance efforts, lawmakers have finally passed legislation limiting the agency's ability to collect information on American citizens. But if you were hoping for the kind of rock-solid reform that guarantees the agency won't be able to cast enormous nets for your phone and Internet data, don't hold your breath.
The USA Freedom Act, which passed Thursday in the House of Representatives 303-121, was initially lauded by privacy advocates and tech companies as a major step forward in balancing Americans' privacy with the need for foreign intelligence. But thanks to quietly applied pressure from the intelligence community, the bill is now a very different animal from the one that passed unanimously in the House Judiciary Committee—so much so that many of its biggest cheerleaders have jumped ship.
Another red flag came as the White House announced its support (PDF) for the amended bill, saying it would "provide the public greater confidence in our programs and the checks and balances in the system." Kevin Bankston, a policy director at the New America Foundation, said, "Either hell has frozen over or it's been totally watered down."
In many ways the USA Freedom Act was meant to be an antidote to the much-derided USA Patriot Act. When Congress passed the Patriot Act just weeks after 9/11, there was virtually no opposition to expanding government surveillance powers from either side of the aisle. In fact, only a single senator, Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, took the unpopular position of rejecting the bill, warning fellow lawmakers that it would allow the government to "go on a fishing expedition and collect information on virtually anyone," as long as it claims the information is "relevant" to a terrorism investigation.
Fast-forward to 2013, when documents obtained by Edward Snowden revealed the government had actually gone far beyond what the law proscribed, radically reinterpreting in secret the law's notion of "relevance" to allow the mass collection of phone records from virtually every American citizen. It created, in effect, a body of secret law concealed from the American public through court opinions issued by clandestine intelligence tribunals—many of which remain classified.
The goal of the Freedom Act was simple: end bulk collection on Americans and impose new transparency requirements on surveillance orders. But after amendments were pushed through—without debate by the House Rules Committee—after backroom meetings with members of the intelligence community, the bill became too bitter a pill for NSA reformers to swallow. Many of those who hyped the legislation in its initial stages pulled their support, worried a "gutted" bill would muzzle future calls for more comprehensive reform.

The news wasn't surprising to Nick Foles. Or anybody else, for that matter.
After all, the Eagles rookie quarterback had practiced with the first team all week, and the starter at his position, Michael Vick, hadn't even touched the field since he left it with a concussion six days ago.
So, when Philadelphia coach Andy Reid on Friday officially ruled Vick out of Sunday's game vs. Washington, and named Foles the starter, there weren't many out there shocked by the expected proclamation. Certainly not the third-round pick from Arizona who has been preparing for his first NFL start his whole life.
"We've had a great week of preparation, a lot of hard work, and it definitely has sunk in," Foles said. "I'm ready to go."
Vick, meanwhile, will be resting this weekend, and spending time "in dark, quiet places," according to head trainer Rick Burkholder, who spoke to reporters at the Eagles training facility on Friday.
"He has too many symptoms for us to even exercise him," Burkholder said.
Cutler won't play
Jay Cutler will miss Monday's game at San Francisco because of a concussion, leaving the Bears without their starting quarterback. The team announced the decision Friday, meaning Jason Campbell is the likely starter against the 49ers.
Coach Lovie Smith would not say if Cutler will make the trip to San Francisco. Players need to be cleared by team physicians and an independent neurological consultant before they can return, under NFL safety protocols. It's possible that the Bears could hold him out even if he gets the OK from doctors.
The 49ers, meanwhile, could be without QB Alex Smith, who suffered a concussion of his own last week.
Ditka has stroke
Hall of Famer Mike Ditka has had a minor stroke, an ESPN producer said.
Seth Markman posted on Twitter that the former Chicago Bears coach and player fell ill Friday and will not appear on the network's NFL shows this weekend. Markman wrote that Ditka "wanted everyone to know he's ok."
Ditka told the Chicago Tribune he was feeling "good right now and it's not a big deal." He was playing cards aFriday when he noticed his hands "weren't working quite right," and he then started having difficulty speaking.

He was gone 4 hours. When he got home I went to the truck and noticed an empty pack of marlboro lights fall out as I opened the passenger door. Neither his friend or his gf smoke this brand.
I asked him who was sitting in the passenger seat. He said, "Bert." I asked him if Bert smokes marlboro lights and told him about the pack of smokes. He said, "no." After a few minutes he came clean and told me he also gave a ride to a female friend they were with and she sat in the passenger seat.
I'm upset that he lied. He said he lied because he thougt I'd be upset.

Just looking to start a active thread to be honest as forum has been very quiet. If your going to debate please keep it clean as can be a touchy subject.
Question Where do You stand as fat as political goes.
My answer is I try stay away from mainstream media and its fair to say I lean to the left. The lines are so blurred these days would not like to name a party as many represent the same cause which is gain resources and control at any cost. I do like Nigel farrage which is UKIP but they have been tagged with some pretty bad stuff whether that be spin doctors I cant answer but they are close to gaining my vote providing they keep it clean and have no racist agenda apart from closing the border and getting it right when It comes to who stays and who goes. Ie no sending woman and kids back to war zones get them somewhere safe even if outside of uk.
