OAKLAND -- Backs to the wall. Do or die. Must-win game. Pull out any of the cliches of a team facing elimination from the playoffs and the possibility of the season's sudden end and they are all applicable to the Warriors on Thursday night at Oracle Arena.
It's the first time this Golden State team has been in that position in the postseason, so the goals in Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs are self-evident to many of the players.
"This is one of those games where you win or you go home, almost like an NCAA tournament game," said forward Carl Landry. "We have to go out there and not take any possessions off, and after the game, we shouldn't have anything left. We shouldn't be able to walk to our cars. It should all be left on the court."
The Warriors haven't faced an elimination game at home since 1994, when a team led by Latrell Sprewell and Chris Webber was swept in three games of a best-of-5 in the opening round against the Phoenix Suns.
The last time they faced home elimination in a seven-game set was more memorable. They trailed the Los Angeles Lakers 3-0 in the 1987 Western Conference semifinals, but Sleepy Floyd scored 29 fourth-quarter points to deliver a Warriors win before the Lakers closed it out in five games at The Forum.
There is precedent for the Warriors franchise trailing 3-2 in a seven-game series and coming back to win it by taking Game 6 at home and Game 7 on the road, but you have to go way back. The
Philadelphia Warriors accomplished the feat against the St. Louis Hawks -- in 1948.
Coach Mark Jackson thinks his team is capable of duplicating that 65-year-old feat, saying an upset of the second-seeded Spurs is still "very doable."
"I'm not worried about my guys," he said. "If you would have rewound this thing all the way back to Day 1 and said we'd have a Game 6 at home in the second round of the playoffs against the San Antonio Spurs after defeating the No. 3 seed, we would have taken it.
"So we're thrilled about where we are. We don't want our backs against the wall, but this is where we are today. It's as simple of putting together 96 minutes of our brand of basketball."
--Center Andrew Bogut played a series low 20 minutes in Game 5 and appeared to be laboring physically, but he maintained his surgically repaired left ankle isn't bothering him.
Bogut played just six of his 20 minutes in the first half. He finished the game with just six rebounds and two points and did not block a shot.
Asked how he was feeling the day after, Bogut was brief.
"Pretty good," he said.
Asked a follow-up about whether the ankle was causing him problems during the game, he said, "No, it's fine. It'll be all right."
Moments later, one more question came about whether the long flight from San Antonio adversely affected his ankle.
"No," he said. "Anyone else want to ask a question about the ankle? The ankle's fine."
Jackson backed him up on that count, to some extent.
"Nobody's 100 percent on either team," Jackson said. "He's battling, he's grinding, he's giving us what he has. I think he's played extremely well, and that's part of the reason we are where we are today, and I expect him to do it again for 98 minutes."
--As for David Lee, his minutes continue to expand. Lee has appeared in three straight games and played 12 minutes in Game 5, the most he's logged since tearing his right hip flexor in Game 1 of the opening round against Denver.
"He's given us great minutes on the floor, he's given us a burst every time we've put him on the court," said Jackson. "I just want to continue to allow it to grow and see where it goes. But he will not be playing major minutes. That's not going to happen right now." ___

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Bryan Silva,
v. Docket No. CR-06-641
State Board of Retirement,
Appearance for Petitioner:
William Lundregan, Esquire
71 Washington Street, 2nd FL
Salem, MA 01970
Appearance for Respondent:
William J. Eagan, Esquire
Legal Department
State Board of Retirement
One Ashburton Place, RM 1219
Boston, MA 02114
Administrative Magistrate:
Judithann Burke
The Petitioner, Bryan Silva, is appealing from the September 5, 2006 decision of the Respondent, State Board of Retirement (SBR), denying his request for reconsideration of his classification by the SBR in Group 2 for retirement urposes.
The Petitioner seeks Group 4 classification. (Exhibit 7). The appeal was timely filed.
(Exhibit 8). A hearing was held on October 24, 2007 at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA), 98 North Washington Street, Boston, MA.
At the hearing, eight (8) exhibits were marked. The Petitioner testified in his own behalf. Both parties stated their arguments for the record. One (1) tape was made of the proceedings. The record was left open for the filing by the parties of post hearing memoranda of law. The Respondent also filed a Motion to Strike any evidence on the merits based upon issue preclusion. The last of the filings was received at DALA on November 16, 2007 thereby closing the record.
The Petitioner, Bryan Silva, d.o.b. 6-06-56, began employment with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 10, 1988. He was employed by the Essex County Sheriff's Department as a Maintenance/Janitor from November 1991 through March 15, 2001. The Petitioner left work at that time due to a chronic condition of sleep apnea and Type II Diabetes Mellitus. He was retired on ordinary disability on November 29, 2001. He was classified in Group 2.
On December 27, 2001, the SBR denied the Petitioner's request for Group 4 classification and again classified him in Group 2. The Petitioner filed an appeal on January 21, 2002 and requested an expedited hearing at DALA.
A hearing was held at DALA on April 3, 2002. In a DALA Decision dated May 3, 2002, Administrative Magistrate Maria Imparato affirmed the decision of the SBR and concluded:
The Legislature has "consistently described employees falling within Group 4 by naming their positions or titles rather by describing the type of work they perform". Gaw v. CRAB, 4 Mass. App. Ct. 250, 345 N.E. 2d 908, 911 (1976). The Petitioner falls squarely into Group 2 because his position of
Maintenance/Janitor in the Essex County Sheriff's Department required him to have the care, custody, instruction or other supervision of prisoners.
Bryan Silva v. State Board of Retirement, CR-02-027 (DALA Decision May 3, 2002; no CRAB Decision).
On August 11, 2006, the Petitioner wrote to the SBR and requested that the board reconsider its previous denial of Group 4 classification. In a letter dated September 5, 2006, the SBR denied the Petitioner's request for reclassification.
On September 16, 2006, the Petitioner appealed to DALA.
The Respondent contended that, in the instant case, the Petitioner's eligibility for Group 4 classification has been decided and the doctrine of issue preclusion applies to this matter. Citing Joseph Murkette v. State Board of Retirement, CR-05-483 (DALA Dec. 08/24/07; no CRAB Dec.), and Green v. Town of Brookline, 53 Mass. App. Ct. 120 (2001), the Respondent argued that issue preclusion may be used defensively if "(1) there was a final judgment on the merits in the prior adjudication; (2) the party against whom the estoppel is asserted was a party (or in privity with a party) to the prior adjudication; (3) the issue in the prior adjudication is identical to the issue in the current adjudication; and, (4) the issue decided in the prior adjudication was essential to the earlier judgment".
The Respondent submitted that, in this case, there was a final judgment on the merits in the prior DALA adjudication which determined that the Petitioner was properly classified in Group 2.
The Petitioner argued that the doctrine of issue preclusion should not be applied in the administrative context where there is an insufficiency in the record below. The Petitioner submitted that, where it cannot be determined from the record whether the Respondent simply voted to deny any reconsideration of the Petitioner's case, or alternatively, did reconsider the case and then voted to deny reconsideration, issue preclusion should not bar a new hearing on the merits.
The Petitioner is not entitled to prevail in this appeal. The SBR acted appropriately in denying the Petitioner's request for reconsideration based on the doctrine of issue preclusion. Further, the SBR was not required to reevaluate the merits of the Petitioner's request for reclassification for the same reason. The record of the local board is clear on its face. Thus, the cases cited by the Petitioner are inapposite. The request for reconsideration was properly denied. See Murkette, supra at p. 4.
The SBR has correctly argued the that the Murkette decision is applicable to this case.
Issue preclusion may be used defensively if (1) there was a final judgment on the merits in the prior adjudication; (2) the party against whom estoppel is asserted was a party to the prior adjudication; (3) the issue in the prior adjudication is identical to the issue in the current adjudication; and, (4), the issue decided in the prior adjudication was essential to the earlier judgment.
If the conditions for preclusion are otherwise met, '[a] final order of an administrative agency in an adjudicatory proceeding …precludes relitigation of the same issues between the same parties, just as would a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction'. Id. at page 4 citing Green, supra at 123-124.
In this case, the Petitioner was the principal party in his first appeal. The issue in that case, his retirement classification, is identical to that which he has raised in his request for reconsideration. The issue that was decided in the prior litigation, that Group 2 is the correct job classification for his position, was essential and decisive in the earlier administrative adjudication.
The decision regarding the Petitioner's retirement classification was decided and became final with the rendering of DALA's determination in CR-02-027.
Relitigation of the same issue between these same two parties is precluded. The issue raised in the Petitioner's request for reconsideration is identical to that in the first appeal.
Evidence proffered on the merits at the October 24, 2007 DALA hearing was taken de bene, subject to a Motion to Strike. The SBR filed a Motion to Strike on November 16, 2007. The motion is ALLOWED, as said evidence is not relevant to the resolution of this case.
In conclusion, the decision of the SBR, denying the Petitioner's request for reconsideration of his retirement classification, is affirmed.
So ordered.
Division of Administrative Law Appeals.

Administrative Magistrate
DATED: January 25, 2008

However, we ended up needing new pads, discs and tyres. We managed to get it down to approx £600 which got us back on the road legally again. Excellent communication and service throughout.. will use again!

Brilliant service, Staff were very helpful and the work got done quick time.
Established in 1974, Formula One Autocentres set out with a mission to deliver a completely new fast-fit experience to its customers. This would feature clean, modern premises, high-tech equipment and highly trained technicians; far removed from the kind of service normally associated with the industry.
Forty years down the line, we have grown to become one of the UK's largest independent autocentre chains. The business remains family owned and continues to uphold its original commitment to delivering the highest quality service at the most competitive prices.
That commitment has proved incredibly popular with motorists, creating many thousands of loyal customers who continue to put their trust in Formula One Autocentres.
As a result, the company has gone from strength to strength, currently boasting over 85 state-of-the-art branches across England, with over 500 highly trained staff working seven days a week to provide a full range of services including tyres, exhausts, batteries, brakes, clutches, MOT's and servicing.
We remain resolutely independent, and as a family owned business, avoid being tied down to any single manufacturer or supplier. This gives us the freedom and flexibility to offer the biggest deals on the widest possible range of top branded products, making the company a viable, attractive and cost-effective alternative to both the big national chains and smaller local independent outlets. Quite simply, Formula One Autocentres provides cost-conscious motorists with the most reliable and affordable means of maintaining their vehicles.
We defend our position at the forefront of the fast-fit industry by constantly evolving and developing innovative new products and services to meet the ever-changing demands of our customers. With an ongoing expansion programme and by regular investment in technology, we continue to provide unbeatable fast-fit service along with the very best value prices. In fact, we can confidently claim that no other company is better equipped to face the motoring challenges of the future.

We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and knowledge, and you can rest assured that when you leave your vehicle in our care it will be worked on by a highly qualified and skilled technician.
We offer a complete MOT, Service, Repair and Diagnostic service to a large customer base in the Telford area and are very pleased to be able to say that a great deal of our business comes from recommendations from loyal customers who have supported us by returning year after year.
We have also recently opened our new Tyre Bay and are able to offer a 'Whilst You Wait' tyre and exhaust service to our customers.

Student Self-Assessment: Reflecting on Ratios & Proportions
Lesson 20 of 20
Objective: Students will be able to identify areas of growth and areas where performance needs improvement.
After completing a unit of instruction, it is very important for students to be given an opportunity to reflect on their performance. A successful reflection opportunity enables a student to identify how they have grown, as well as what they can to do to improve their achievement.
When reflecting on their own work, an individual becomes more responsible for that work. When feedback is given to you, you can look at the feedback and consider it. When an individual sits back analyzes his/her own performance work and reflects on ways that they could have done better, he/she has the opportunity to consider the relationship between self-belief, performance, and personal goals. In most cases, someone else's critique of your work means less your own reasoned evaluation.
The reflection opportunity in this lesson is my effort to help my students feel better connected to their learning. It is my goal to help my students become reflective learners who care about their work and want to improve their work continually. For this reason, in today's reflections I will highlight the important role that intrinsic motivation plays in the learning process.
Reflection Procedure
Today, I will have my students complete a Self-Assessment of their performance on the unit assessment. This data driven reflection will be followed by a reflective essay.
- Each student will complete the reflection form. Using the form students document their given answers and compare them to the correct answers. Then, students work to reproduce the correct answer for questions missed. During this process they explain how or why they did not correctly complete the problem during the assessment.
- After completing the answer comparison, the students will complete survey questions concerning the lessons taught during the unit and the student's study habits. Students are asked for ways that I can improve future lessons to help keep them engaged. They are also asked to describe their study habits.
The final piece of today's lesson is for students to write a brief goal setting essay describing ways in which he/she can do to improve his/her performance in mathematics as a new unit of instruction begins.

MINNEAPOLIS – The weather was great for the 27th Annual Roy Griak Invitational and a great field was assembled for the Division III races. The Falcon men placed 21st out of 27 competing teams, while the women finished 22nd out of 29 teams.
"Overall, both teams had a poor performance and ended up running slower than what we wanted to," head coach Russ DeLap said. "Maybe it was the tough week of training and not cutting back at all for the toughest course we run on all year. We are training through each race until we get to the conference championships."
Senior Bethany Doerr (Chilton, Wis.) ran 25:12.9 and led the team with a 115th place finish. On the men's side, junior Martin Hinze (Bourbonnais, Ill.) led the Falcons with a 27:38.1 time for the 8K event.
Next on the schedule for both teams is the Wisconsin State Private College Invite on Oct. 13. The event will take place at Leeson Park in Beloit, Wis.

All roads to immigration restructuring run through Florida, and the "tough but fair" approach that's being discussed this week has at its center two of the state's Republicans: Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Miami.
Rubio brings his political star power to rally fellow conservatives to the cause. Diaz-Balart brings several years' worth of behind-the-scenes work and a family tradition – led by his brother, former Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart – of pushing the issue in the face of Republican Party opposition.
Both will be expected to persuade fellow Republicans to support changes that could fundamentally transform the lives of an estimated 11 million people who are living in this country illegally, and the millions more who want to come here. And both are fully aware that the stars might be aligned just right to make it happen.
"We have one shot at it, one moment," Diaz-Balart said Monday in an interview. "This is it."
Rubio on Friday joined fellow senators from both parties for a news conference about their upcoming proposal, which came out Monday, the day before President Barack Obama releases his own blueprint in Las Vegas. Other Republicans who back the plan are John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. The Democrats behind the plan are Charles Schumer of New York, Richard Durbin of Illinois, Michael Bennet of Colorado and Robert Menendez of New Jersey.
Many of the senators got the message from Obama in recent days that it's a major presidential priority and time is of the essence, Menendez said.
"The issue of immigration is not a simple one," Rubio said Monday. "But I think we have the opportunity to do it right. And if we do, I think we'll do a tremendous service to our country. And to its future."
Diaz-Balart has taken a quiet approach in the House of Representatives, which unlike the Senate hasn't come out with a public plan. Diaz-Balart and other House members have been meeting for several years to hammer out a compromise.
"The good news is, we're really far ahead," Diaz-Balart said. "And the good news is there's the political will from leadership in the House and Senate, and I think from both parties."
Their meetings stayed low-key in part because Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, a former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, had a hard line on immigration. He declined to consider such bills as the DREAM Act, which would allow young people who came to the U.S. illegally as children to stay here. It had the backing of most Democrats and Republicans such as Diaz-Balart and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who's also from Florida.
Smith remains on the subcommittee that oversees immigration, and on Monday he characterized the Senate proposal as "granting amnesty." It "compounds the problem by encouraging more illegal immigration," he said.
Florida lawmakers are particularly influential on immigration because so many of the state's voters are Latino. Every four years, that population – an estimated 17 percent in 2012 – is among the most highly sought-after in the country. Rep. Joe Garcia, D-Fla., who was recently elected and also sits on the Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee, said the Democrats would be happy to consider a proposal that was similar to the Senate plan proffered this week. Diaz-Balart, his Republican colleague, "has been on the right side of this for a long time, and he deserves credit for it," said Garcia, of Miami.
He described Rubio has having a "migratory evolution" on immigration matters that has "found refuge in the position Mr. Diaz-Balart carved out for him."
Rubio, though, has been key in persuading some of his more conservative colleagues that their stance on immigration has hurt them with potential voters, particularly Latinos who have friends or neighbors or their own firsthand experiences with immigration.
Rubio has spent time in recent weeks introducing the ideas in the Senate bill directly to conservative voters, including explaining the proposal to right-wing radio and television hosts such as Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.
A lot of people will need to get behind it in the House and Senate, Rubio said, but "it's a pretty straightforward principle."
"It's a statement that we have to modernize our legal immigration system," he said. "We have to have a real enforcement mechanism to ensure we're never here again in the future, and we have to deal with the people here now in a way that's responsible and humane. And this does that."

Re: Deposit 10 days after?!sophie Apr 9, 2012 9:38 AM (in response to marilina.giannopoulou)
Hi marilina,
You say "I am new to renting and i do not want to argue with him". You need to adopt the mindset of an owner and you need to have rules set. This is the best business practice as you can't let others dictate what your rules, regulations and time frames are.
For me, I give my renters 48 hours to complete the contract and remit the funds. Under no circumstances do I block my days off of my calendar until BOTH are received. That is fine if he doesn't send the deposit back but I would NOT hold the property off the market and would continue to market it for that time frame. This is verbiage that I put in my emails
The reservation is finalized only when payment is received, so prompt payment will best assure that your lodging arrangements will be secure. We have put into place the "first pay, first book" policy in order to avoid the drama of competing claims for a given time on a property. It does not matter who might have said what, when, or what might have been understood. The first paying party receives the booking.
And this:
Please note that we continue to market the property until the deposit and signed contract is received. Reservations are not booked or guaranteed until the lease and deposit is received.
Bottom line......Set your own rules, stick by them and don't let any renter argue or bully you into doing something you don't want to do. You are the one in control!
Good luck and let us know if you have further questions!
Re: Deposit 10 days after?!stjvilla Apr 9, 2012 9:44 AM (in response to sophie)
Completely agree with sophie. All you have to do is say is that the house isn't booked until you receive the deposit and you will continue to offer it until you get that deposit from someone. It doesn't matter when he wants to pay - it's your policy to accept the renter who pays first. Tell him this and stick to it. No need to argue!
Stick to your guns and good luck.
Re: Deposit 10 days after?!marilina.giannopoulou Apr 9, 2012 9:49 AM (in response to sophie)
Thank you Sophie!
He said that i must have confidence and his bank (in France) delay his payments to my bank (in Greece).
He will put tomorrow the deposit but i will receive it 10 days after because to his bank policy.

That is fine.....but you still shouldn't hold the property. Unless, he can give you proof from the bank that the payment is on it's way.....but I have a feeling he wouldn't be able to that. Do you accept credit cards or paypal? That is instant payment and might be a solution if you don't take them. You wouldn't have to wait for checks, etc. to clear.
Re: Deposit 10 days after?!marilina.giannopoulou Apr 9, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to sophie)
Yes i accept paypal and he knows that but he said that prefer classic payment method (from his bank account to my bank account).
I explained to him that only when i receive his payment i will reserve his dates if they are available yet.
Thank you for your help (Sophie and Stjvilla)!
Re: Deposit 10 days after?!sophie Apr 9, 2012 10:09 AM (in response to marilina.giannopoulou)
Then he has to roll the dice and take a chance! I hope it works out!
Re: Deposit 10 days after?!anja Apr 9, 2012 4:06 PM (in response to marilina.giannopoulou)
I would insist that he pay with PayPal. He can transfer money from HIS bank account to YOUR bank account using PayPal. All he has to do is sign up for a free PayPal membership....and it includes bank transfers. PayPal does not expose any of the bank details during the transaction...so there is privacy protection in that respect. So, YOUR bank account details do not have to be given to him (!!).....and HIS bank account details are also protected from YOU.
My argument is: I would not give this person my *bank* details...and I would not permit this person to tell me how to accept the money.
I'm feeling uncomfortable with this entire "booking" as you have described it. Sophie is right....it's your business and you have to set your rules {policy} and not let anyone tell you how to run your business.
If I were in your situation, I would inform the renter that he can sign up free with PayPal...and then he can safely and securely transfer money from his bank to your bank! His bank can take all the time it needs...via the PayPal transfer. And...I would tell him that he is "risking losing the rental if it takes 10+ days for him to pay you the deposit !!...inform him in writing that you will continue to "advertise" your rental during the "waiting period" because you have no "binding agreement" between the two of you! So, if someone else wants to rent it...faster...and pay you faster...then that person will get your house first! This is not a "first come, first serve" business.....it is "First to Pay/Contract is First Served" !!!
Get the money in your hands + his signature on your rental contract. You then, both have a solid commitment between yourselves....not before.
Re: Deposit 10 days after?!marilina.giannopoulou Apr 9, 2012 7:20 PM (in response to anja)
You are right Anja, i told him that is easy, quickly and safety for both of us this transaction (paypal). Also i told him that a lot of guests prefer this transaction and we have no complaines yet from them. However still prefer the classic transfer because he does not know this system (paypal). I have sent to him a reminder email that i have the dates available and i have one family that want to rent the apartment for these days (true) so if they pay first then the apartment will not available for him anymore. (it is difficult for him because he has friends in this area and only my apartment has 2 bedrooms, for 5 people).
Thank you for your responce!

text: When Joey and I first moved in together, we didn't have much money to spend on furniture. So instead of buying a couch for our living room, we bought a double papasan chair from Pier 1. It started out great, and we felt so smart for all the money we saved, but over the years it's been slowly falling apart. We've already had to reinforce the frame once, and lately the cushion just gave up. We should probably just buy a new couch, but Joey graduates in just a few months, after which we plan to move to Oregon. And I hate the idea of dragging a new couch across the country. I thought about either buying or making a new cushion from scratch, but this weekend I decided to try opening it up and adding some new stuffing. It worked beautifully and only took about half an hour from start to finish. If you're also suffering from a papasan cushion failure, here's how I did it.

Time it takes: 5 to 10 minutes.Why it matters: When the bag is more than half full, the vacuum loses suction. The fuller it gets, the harder the machine works. Eventually it could work so hard, the motor will burn out.Step 1: Run the vacuum for 30 seconds to push any residual dirt in the machine into the bag. Unplug.Step 2:
Try to do this: Every month or two if you have kids and/or pets; twice a year otherwise.
Time it takes: 15 minutes.Why it matters: The corpses pile up, especially in summer. They're not dangerous to your health, but who wants to look at them?Step 1: Turn off the light and tape down the switch for safety. Wear an apron with pockets to stash supplies. With a screwdriver and a cotton cloth in your pocket, climb an extra-tall stepladder (try the six-foot Werner 356; $71, amazon.com), which will get you eye to eye with the fixture. Unscrew the dome. Dust the bulb with the cloth.Step 2: Climb back down and head to the kitchen. Dump any dead bugs into the trash. Line the sink with a large dish towel (to prevent breakage) and place the dome on top, open-side up. Fill with warm water and a squirt of dish soap and let soak.Step 3: Wipe with a sponge, rinse, and dry. (You can also pop most domes into the dishwasher, says Henning, who does this with all but painted and very delicate covers.)Step 4: When it's dry, reattach the dome. (Consider switching to frosted-glass domes, which camouflage the body count better than clear ones.)Try to do this: Whenever you're sick of looking at the bugs.
Time it takes: 5 to 10 minutes.Why it matters: Besides being a mess, the crumbs can smoke, stinking up your kitchen and possibly setting off your smoke alarm.For a toasterStep 1: Unplug and remove the crumb tray. Dump out the crumbs, then wash the tray with dish soap and wipe dry with a cotton cloth. Hold the toaster upside down over the trash can and gently tap out any remaining crumbs.For a toaster ovenStep 1: Place a small oven-safe container filled with water inside the oven and heat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes to soften everything up, says Findley. Unplug the oven and remove the crumb tray and the rack; dump out the crumbs. Use a plastic spatula to scrape off stuck-on morsels. Wash the tray and the rack with dish soap and wipe dry with a cotton cloth. Wipe the inside and the burners with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap, then let dry.Try to do this: Every other month.
Time it takes: 15 minutes.Why it matters: When dust sits around, dust mites move in. They contribute to allergies and sinus infections. A dusty fan can send mites scattering to bedding and furniture, so it's actually a health risk.Step 1: Tape down the fan's switch for safety.Step 2: Spread drop cloths or old sheets on the floor and over any furniture under the fan. Try to cover a radius about twice as wide as the blades.Step 3: Fill a spray bottle with water and 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar and use it to spritz the inside of a cloth shoe bag or pillowcase. Put on a baseball cap.Step 4: Standing on an extra-tall stepladder that puts you about a head above the blades, slip the bag or the pillowcase over each blade, pulling it back to trap dust (you can use the same one for all the blades—just keep maneuvering it to find a clean spot). Use a cotton cloth for residual grime and to dust the base and the light fixture. If, however, you have a very high ceiling that's out of range—say, 12 feet—use a ceiling-fan duster, like the Unger microfiber duster ($14, acehardware.com). It is shaped to fit around the blades and screws onto an extension pole ($50, acehardware.com).Try to do this: At the beginning and the end of fan season, or every other month if you use the fan year-round.
Time it takes: 15 minutes.Why it matters: When traces of food and liquid that escape the trash bag are left to fester, mold, mildew, and bacteria can grow, causing a nasty stench. Mold and mildew can also get into the air and exacerbate allergies.Step 1: Take the can outside and hose it down. Pat dry. (No outdoor space? Work in your bathtub.)Step 2: Spray the can inside and out with a cleaner designed for pet messes; these products contain enzymes that kill bacteria and neutralize odors, says Mary Findley, a veteran house cleaner and the founder of Mary Moppins, a manufacturer of green cleaning products in Eugene, Oregon.Step 3: Wearing rubber gloves, scrub the can with a toilet brush or a nylon-bristle broom. Rinse with the hose and towel-dry. Or, even better, let the can dry in the sun. The heat helps eradicate mold.Try to do this: Every other month or whenever the can smells funky.
Time it takes: 15 minutes per unit.Why it matters: A buildup of dust anywhere harbors allergens. And when you're dealing with vents and radiators, this dust is propelled into the room. Also, excessive dust makes your cooling and heating system work harder and therefore costs you money.For ventsStep 1: Turn off the heat or the air-conditioning. Run the crevice tool of a vacuum over floor and baseboard vents. For ceiling vents, spread a sheet below and wear a baseball cap to shield your hair and eyes; if the crevice tool doesn't reach, use a tool like the Unger duster ($17, amazon.com), with an extension pole.Step 2: Remove the vent covers (all you need is a screwdriver); you'll have to use a stepladder for ceiling vents. Wash covers with dish soap, using a small sponge paintbrush to get into slats (plastic and unpainted aluminum or steel can go in the dishwasher). If you want to soak the covers to get them extra clean, use only hot water—prolonged exposure to soap may take the paint off. Clean inside ducts, as far as you can reach, with the crevice tool or a cobweb duster (Quickie Manufacturing, $40 for four, quickie.com for stores), which has stiff bristles and a rounded head that fits inside ducts. When they're dry, replace the covers.For radiatorsStep 1: Dust between the radiator fins with a bottle brush (Sigg cleaning brush, $10, mysigg.com). Don't use water, which can cause rust.Try to do this: Twice a year.
Time it takes: 20 to 30 minutes.Why it matters: Lots of dust on the coils can cause a refrigerator to run inefficiently. And dust under the refrigerator can mix with moisture from the air to gum up the finish on your floor.Step 1: Pull out the refrigerator by grasping both sides and gently wiggling it toward you; some are on wheels, so this may be easier than you think. When you can, reach behind and pull the plug (your food will survive for the short time it takes to clean). If you have an ice maker, shut off the water supply first, just in case the hose comes loose.Step 2: To dislodge dust around the condenser coils (the wriggly apparatus in back), use a long, thin tool known as a refrigerator-coil brush (Rubbermaid, $9, acehardware.com), then gently vacuum with a brush attachment. Some refrigerators have their condenser coils behind a removable grille in the front. If yours does, snap off or unscrew the grille and clean the coils, as above.Step 3: Wipe down the wall, the back of the refrigerator, and the sides with a damp cotton cloth and a little dish soap. Then vacuum and clean the floor. A solution of 1⁄3 cup white vinegar and ½ gallon warm water is a safe bet for most surfaces, except tile and stone. For those, use plain hot water or a tile or stone cleaner like StoneTech Professional Stone & Tile Cleaner ($10 a quart, stonetechdirect.com).Step 4: After the floor is completely dry, plug in the refrigerator and slide it into place. If you've turned off the water, switch it back on.Try to do this: Twice a year.
Time it takes: 10 to 15 minutes.Why it matters: If they're ignored for too long, mold and mildew can seep into the grout, and there may be no way to remove them. A buildup of soap scum can discolor ceramic and stone tile.Step 1: Spray the walls with an all-purpose cleaner, then go at them with a stiff-bristle scrub brush (Bar Brush, $6, kitchenandcompany.com). For heavy soap scum, mold, and mildew, use a stronger cleaner, like Marblelife Maxout Tile and Grout (from $10, marblelife.com). When it comes to grout lines, Leigh Gansberg, director of housekeeping at the Carlyle hotel, in New York City, swears by the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge ($6, walgreens.com). Just dampen it and rub it over the grout—the cleaner is inside the sponge. If you prefer an eco-friendly version, try the Stain Eraser ($17, goclean.com).
Step 2 (for those with shower doors): Use glass cleaner or, if you're dealing with serious soap scum or hard-water spots, undiluted white vinegar that has been heated to boiling (just be careful). A scrub brush can scratch glass, so use a microfiber cloth or, for gentle abrasion, a nonscratch scrubbing sponge. A trick for shower-door tracks: Pour a little vinegar into the track, let sit for a few minutes, then rub with the scrub brush and towel-dry. No need to rinse. After a shower or two, the vinegar smell will be gone.Try to do this: Every other week for light cleaning (using the all-purpose cleaner); once a month for the shower-door tracks.

TORRANCE/GARDENA/OC, CALIFORNIA -- It is sad. There was a restaurant called Naugles and they were great. Dick Naugle owned the chain (in name) and had a motto of "serve it fresh, serve it fast and keep the place clean". When you ordered a double taco and asked for no lettuce/tomato you received what you asked for: huge meat and cheese filled crunchy taco that was perfect. Even if you had to drive back to work with it the taco shell stayed crunchy for a while. In the burrito department... the word "Macho Meat Burrito" meant you were beyond hungry. If you ordered and ate a Naugles Macho Meat Burrito with extra cheese at 11:30 am you were not hungry the rest of the day.
This was 1980 something. Time has passed and Dick Naugle and his namesake restaurant Naugles are no longer with us. Del Taco bought the chain Naugles and in corporate splendor, Del Taco dissolved Naugles into themselves. The only "Naugle-isk" thing remaining at Del Taco is the word "Macho" on one of their burritos. Trust me this is not even close to a Naugles "Macho Burrito", but they bought it, so they can do whatever they want with it. It is my opinion, Del Taco is the worst Fast Food Mexican Restaurant in the U.S. Based on some of the QSR reviews I have seen recently, I may not be too wrong in my opinion.
I have complaints that include bad service, rude people behind the counter, a rude manager in two cases, ineptitude, and screwed up drive through orders. I live in the So. Cal area and it is astounding to me that this chain is still in operation with the service provided. I believe in the three strikes rule. I gave Del Taco three chances and they messed up everyone. All of the following I experienced directly: The management is unsympathetic to their stores' screw ups. Drove to a Del Taco to order lunch and race back on my lunch break. I return to my desk to find that my order is wrong.
Further I paid for extra cheese and received what I consider "hair strands" of cheese. I called the store and was told "bring it back". "Well I can't. I'm at work and now my lunch is over." "Well come back tomorrow". When I returned the following day (and note... not that I wanted Mexican food two days in a row) I actually had one of their managers "snatch" and I mean literally snap my hand holding the receipt from my hand, (Torrance/Gardena CA area) and in Spanish tell his employee to "Make sure you don't screw up this guy's order because he will be on the Internet making a complaint".
Well too late pal, your people already had screwed up my order the previous day and I made a complaint!! It has been my unfortunate experience that in all three cases Del Taco management people DO NOT care. I am sure that somewhere is a Del Taco management person out there reading this right now and denying this sentiment. Well whoever you are... it is my opinion that you do not know what is happening in the real world at your stores.
I guess my point and opinion in regards to Del Taco is not favorable. Thus I shall never return.
CITRUS HEIGHTS, CALIFORNIA -- Today is Wednesday, Sept.01, 2010. My 8-yr old daughter and I frequent Del Taco for their tasty crunchy tacos once a week for fun. Today we did just that. We ordered our usual: crunchy tacos, cheese nachos and large soda. My daughter had to use the restroom but walked into sewer on way in. When I asked the front counter she had stepped in sewer and it was all over her feet, "Could I please have a large cup to use for water to wash off her feet?" I was denied the large cup. Also the woman denying didn't understand English is what the manager told me.
As I began lecturing the manager about protocol and poor management considering the front counter tried cleaning up the sewer, and serving food also, rather concerned me. I asked for District Manager's # but wasn't given that but instead a 1-800 number in which I'm waiting to get a response from the message I left. And my point that didn't get across to manager on duty: OFFER US SOME SANITIZER IN THE LEAST! but I did get a big fat, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave". Wow.
I would have expected two simple things from these employees: 1. Understand English well enough to handle these unforeseen events and 2. By the love of God, offer the customer a towel, some soap or something to for sanitation. On the better side of things, as a responsible mother I am, we did end up using a cup filled with water and washing my daughter's feet and flip flops and then taking the hand sanitizer out from my car, and sanitizing her feet.
And because of this poor situation and the conduct in which it was handled by Del Taco employees, that is the last visit for us. We will take out money and go back to ToGo's Baskin Robbin's each week. Feels good to splurge. BTW I did take a photo of the sewer that the staff left alone so they could sell food. My view: Sanitation first!! Sad Sad Sad.
As indicated in my last comments.
BRAWLEY, CALIFORNIA -- There is nothing worse than someone serving you that has a "What do you want?" attitude. I have found in my many many years in the business world that the employees reflect what they receive from the managers. The just enough to get my DOES NOT CUT IT in business. They do not clean the edges of the tables or remove gum under the edges. Nothing will take away your appetite more than grabbing the edge of the table and putting your hand in gum!!!!!!!! Del Taco! Wake up!!! The ones that do clean are brought out of the back. Believe me the servers are not too busy to clean, just lazy! I will give it ONE MORE CHANCE!
My wife and I patronized the Del Taco here in Boiling Springs, South Carolina recently. She ordered what she always orders (Taco Del Carbon). But when she got it, it was not in a taco shell as she had gotten before; it was in a tortilla wrap. I paid for another in a hard shell taco, but it did not contain the ingredients of a taco (lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream). My wife complained and the kid in the yellow shirt argued with her. It was a terrible experience and a waste of money. If you want to lose a customer to the competition, argue with his wife.
P.S: I have seen the Del Taco Carbon on the website and this one looked nothing like advertised. The one my wife got was with scant ingredients; it was not like the generous advertised Carbon.
LAGUNA WOODS, CALIFORNIA -- Sirs: We enjoy eating in your establishments but when I order two deluxe taco salads, pay for them and then ask for some jalapeños, they want more money! Jack in The Box has them on the counter on ice with no additional charge. GUESS where we will eat in the future?
91604 -- I just left the Del Taco, located on Laurel Canyon Blvd, in North Hollywood, Ca. As I was deciding on what to order, I noticed that the food servers do not wear gloves or hair nets while they are preparing the orders. I thought that the health department made it mandatory that any establishment that serves food to the public must have protected covering to prevent the spread of disease and germs. When I spoke to the manager about this, she just looked at me as if she did not understand English. So I demonstrated what I was trying to say and she still look at me as if she still do not understand what is going on with these places.
STANDIFORD AVE - MODESTO CALIFORNIA 95350, CALIFORNIA -- Del Taco location - Corner of Standiford Ave and Carver Road in Modesto California. We went to Del Taco after seeing your new TV Commercials (99 cents Soft Taco 50% more} around 4:00 PM. The portion of the chicken pieces looked much bigger. We ordered 6 of your advertised soft taco with few other items. Our disappointment was when we got home and opened up to add hot sauce to the tacos, we noticed that there was only 4 small pieces of chicken. We ended up opening all of the tacos and counted the chicken pieces. Just ONE soft taco had 6 small pieces of chicken and the rest had fewer pieces in each of the tacos.
The portion as advertised was definitely not there at all. THE TV COMMERCIAL AND THE PICTURES ON THE WEBSITE AND AT THE RESTAURANTS LOOKS LIKE HALF OF THE TACOS IS FULL OF CHICKEN. We called the phone number printed on the receipt for over an hour and phone seem to be off the hook. The restaurant was not busy at that time. I don't know if that one restaurant has that problem or is it a false advertising to get the customers to the facility. We are a longtime customer of Del Taco and live few blocks away and enjoy the 24-hour drive through very much. I hope the employees are or can be well-trained as per company policy.

How To Use This Library
All Site Content
How to use this wiki library
You can use this wiki library to share knowledge, brainstorm ideas, collaborate with your team on a design, create an instruction guide, build an encyclopedia of knowledge, or just write down daily information in an easily accessible and modifiable format.
Editing pages
To edit this page, click on the
Edit Page
icon at the top of the page. To see all available commands, click on the
tab. When you are editing, you can type text onto the page or insert tables and pictures. To stop editing, click the
button at the top of the page. If you leave the page while editing, you will be prompted to save your changes.
Creating wiki links
You can link to another page in this wiki library by enclosing the name of the page in double brackets. When you type [[, the wiki will suggest page names that start with what you've typed. You can select one of these pages using the arrow keys or the mouse, or you can type in a new name. If you type in a new name, it will make a link to a page which has not yet been created. Links are finished by typing ]]. If you are linking to a page in a subfolder or an item in another list, you can press tab to add the selected suggested item to your link without closing the link.
You can link to many objects in SharePoint, not just pages. Here are some examples of links:
[[Dogs]] : A link to a page named Dogs in the same folder.
[[Animals/Dogs]] : A link to a page named Dogs in a subfolder called Animals.
[[List:Announcements/Welcome]] : A link to the item called Welcome in the Announcements list on this site.
To create a link to a page and have the link display different text than the page name, type a pipe character (|) after the page name, and then type the display text. For example, type [[Home|Home Page]] to create the link labeled Home Page that points to the page named Home.
To display double opening or closing brackets without making a link, type a backslash before the two brackets. For example, \[[ or \]].
Creating pages
There are two main ways to create a new page in your wiki library:
Create a link to a page which does not exist and then click on it to create the page
This is the recommended way to create a page because it is easier for people to find the page when another page links to it. Links to pages that do not yet exist have a dashed underline.

Rihanna: Are You Lost In Space?
Wow Rihanna, you've worn some crazy getups — spiked killer dresses, see-thru everything, plunging necklines, fur head-to-toe — but this one is worthy of a visit to The Starship Enterprise!
Rihanna, you turned out in this massive-shouldered, caped jumpsuit at the Echo Awards (Germany's version of The Grammys) in Berlin, Germany on Mar. 4th, where you were performing. We think you've outdone yourself, kooky-wise.
So do you think Rihanna's new look deserves to be jettisoned into some other galaxy or should it get a place of honor in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum?

Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill was hospitalised on Saturday night (09Aug14) with broken ribs after the band's tour bus was involved in a road accident following a show in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Sex on Fire hitmakers have since assured fans Followill will be fine, but they have postponed their show at Saratoga Springs in New York on Sunday (10Aug14) to allow the percussionist time to recover from his injuries.
A statement posted on the group's Facebook.com page on Sunday morning reads: "The band was en route to their hotel after their show in Boston when a pedestrian jumped in front of their tour bus, causing the bus to stop short, injuring Nathan Followill.
"Nathan is being treated for broken ribs, but is doing well. The band will postpone the show that was planned for TONIGHT, August 10th, until further notice. Refunds for ticket holders will be available at point of purchase."
The drummer's bandmate brother, Jared Followill, adds on Twitter: "So sad this a.m.. Bus accident last night. Nathan has broken ribs. This was the most fun tour in a while. We'll be back ASAP. #GetWellNate".
The group's Mechanical Bull Tour is scheduled to take the rockers across the country until early October (14), before heading to Mexico.
It is not yet known if further dates on the trek will be postponed as a result of Followill's injury, but he has reached out to fans to thank them for their support.
He tweets, "Thank you for all of the get well soons. I'm a little banged up but will be back better than ever."

Advice on eye strain, sunglasses, what to do if you splash bleach in your eye, and more
Damage to your eyes can threaten your eyesight so it's important to protect them from hazards like injuries, chemicals and UV light.
Here's how to keep your eyes safe at home, at work and when you're out and about.
In the garden
In the sun
Using chemicals
Doing DIY
Playing sports
Using computers
When driving
Lots of people get eye injuries while gardening so it's important to protect your eyes.
It's especially important to be careful when you're pruning. It's easy to bend forward and scratch your eye on a twig or leaf.
Any kind of glasses, including sunglasses, are an easy way of protecting your eyes in the garden, although proper safety glasses are best.
Mark the top of garden canes with something brightly coloured, or put cane toppers on them (you can buy these online or in garden centres).
It's important to wear safety glasses or goggles when using tools that could make a small stone or piece of grit fly up at high speed as this can cause serious eye injuries. This includes digging hard earth with a spade and particularly using lawn mowers and strimmers.
If something does fly up and hit your eye at high speed, get it looked at as soon as possible.
On a sunny day, it's a good idea to protect your eyes against the sun.
Look for sunglasses with the British Standards kitemark or CE mark. This means they offer a safe level of protection against harmful UV light.
Always avoid looking directly at the sun, including during an eclipse. It can cause permanent damage to the back of your eye.
Chemicals used at home that can cause severe harm to your eyes include bleach, weedkiller, fertilisers, caustic soda and oven cleaners. But you need to be careful with most household chemicals, including laundry liquids and surface cleaners.
Be particularly careful to lock harmful chemicals away from small children.
If you get a chemical in your eye, you need to wash it out of your eye as quickly and thoroughly as possible by flooding it with liquid.
In an emergency tap water from the cold tap is fine. Let the tap run for a few seconds so the water is fresh.
You could also use:
Each year about 20,000 eye injuries are caused by DIY accidents, according to the Eyecare Trust.
The best way to protect your eyes is to wear proper safety glasses or goggles. These should:
The golden rule if you get something in your eye is not to rub it.
Instead, pull your upper eyelid outwards then down over your lower lashes. This causes tears to flow which should wash the object out of your eye.
Try this several times if necessary. If it doesn't work, try washing the object out of your eye with plenty of eye wash, contact lens solution or cold tap water.
Being hit by a moving object while playing sports is another common cause of eye accidents.
Working for long periods on a computer can make your eyes feel tired or strained.
You may develop:
While working on the computer:
You should also take frequent short breaks away from the computer.
Make sure you're working in well-lit conditions but without light reflecting off the computer screen.
Visit your optometrist about every two years for eye tests, and make sure they know you use computers a lot.
Middle-distance glasses can help with computer work if you are middle aged or older.
Make sure you can see the number plates of the cars around you. DVLA guidelines say you must be able to read them from 20 metres away.
You should tell the DVLA if you have any problems with your eyesight or any conditions that could affect it, such as glaucoma. This doesn't include short- or long-sightedness, or colour blindness.
See GOV.UK for more on driving eyesight rules.
Make sure you have regular eye tests if you need glasses to drive safely. If you drive at night, the optician can make sure your glasses are suitable for driving at night.

Zack Snyder, the director of the upcoming "Man of Steel," remained tight-lipped about the 2013 Superman film, despite persistent teasing from "The Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman during a Q&A Friday night at the Hero Complex Film Festival.
The Q&A — at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles — followed a screening of Snyder's 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead" during a zombie-themed opening night, which also included a highlights reel of "The Walking Dead" Season 2, a screening of "Shaun of the Dead" and a Q&A with Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg.
"I'm only here to ask him about the Superman movie," Kirkman joked when he was introduced to the festival audience. But Snyder would only say he is in the editing process for the film.
"It's going really good, actually. I'm just cutting right now," Snyder said. "I'm really excited about it. It's fun to work on. It's gigantic and crazy."
Snyder also talked about the criticism he received from Alan Moore and "Watchmen" fans after he directed the big-screen adaptation of the classic graphic novel, but said the "Watchmen" camp wasn't as intense as the George Romero fans when he was remaking "Dawn of the Dead."
"Zombie fans [were more strident], for sure. One hundred percent sure," he said. "I feel like the 'Watchmen' fans, you can reason with them, you know. When they have you in an alley, you can talk your way kind of out of there. But zombie fans are certainly much more — especially before the movie came out, and we were just talking about what the movie would be, and how we would remake 'Dawn of the Dead,' it was pretty intense."
Both Snyder and Kirkman cited Romero among their influences, with Snyder also mentioning "The Thing" and "The Shining." Kirkman, however, said his introduction to horror came late.
"Horror-wise, I actually was not allowed to watch horror films for a really long time, which I think is why I'm such a sissy," Kirkman said. "I was actually allowed to rent a horror movie, like every year on Halloween, and that was the only time I was ever allowed to watch a horror movie. So every year, I either got 'Hellraiser' or 'Hellraiser 2.'"
Kirkman also talked about the evolution of "The Walking Dead" television series, which is based on his comic series of the same name. Now, Kirkman writes for the show as well as the comic.
"I have a really hard-and-fast rule to try and make sure that the comic doesn't change because of the show, because I feel like the comic existed for a long time before the show, and I would be doing a disservice to myself if I changed the way I did anything," Kirkman said. "I think I'm getting better as a writer for working on the show, because I'm learning a lot of stuff that I should have known a long time ago. I'm constantly in the writers' room. … Hopefully because of that, it's making the comic a little better."
"A lot of people think that I'm like, 'Ah yeah, cut that guy's head off, that's gonna be awesome. Kill some more babies!'" Kirkman said. "But every now and then I'm writing a scene and I tear up because I'm killing somebody I've been writing for 30 issues, or something bad's happening."
The festival continues Saturday with screenings of "Robocop," "A Clockwork Orange" and "Super," as well as Q&A's with Peter Weller, Malcolm McDowell and Rainn Wilson.
