Trying To Find Plumbing Tips? Check Out This Short Article!Did you know that loose pipes might be responsible for the hammering sounds in your plumbing? If this interests you, you might wish to check out all of the other great information in this article. Take a few minutes and learn all you can learn about plumbing today.
Do not use the liquid cleaning supplies that are designed to clear clogs. These cleaners are harmful and can damage your pipes as they clear the clog. Instead of using damaging liquids, use a plunger or a plumbing snake. These are much more effective and will not harm pipes.
If you possess pipes that are alive with the sound of squeaking or hammering, you have an issue that is easily corrected. You must anchor any type of exposed pipe. You are going to need a professional if the pipes will be located in the ceiling, walls, or the floors.
To prevent the pipes from freezing, it is advisable to seal off air vents, cracks and access doors. In order to keep the heat in and the cold out, you can try using insulation or caulk. In the event a leak occurs, make it a point to remind everyone where the master circuit breaker is so it can be shut off immediately.
It is important to know how to properly anchor your pipes when it comes to plumbing. This is extremely important to know because not having your pipes well anchored could result in loud noises, leaks, or pressure problems. Call a professional if you are unsure how to take care of it yourself.
You need to winter-proof your house. You have to make sure you switch of the master circuit breaker or the shut-off valve before you leave your house. Since one small hole or congested water can quickly freeze and cause pipes to break and expand, you need to drain and open all outdoor and household water lines.
It is not always necessary to call in a plumber when you have a damaged section of pipe in your plumbing. There are repair kits you can buy in your local hardware store which are excellent in repairing leaks. If you have a small leak, you can rub a compound stick over the hole or crack in the pipe to seal it shut. Epoxy paste is also an excellent remedy for a leaking pipes. Make sure you turn off the water and completely dry the pipe before applying the epoxy.
If https://www.timesnownews.com/health/article/menstrual-hygiene-day-2018-10-important-personal-hygiene-tips-you-must-follow-during-menstruation/232643 have a foul odor coming from your garbage disposal, this is due to food debris buildup. You need to put ice cubes, orange peels, and lemon peels into the disposal and run for about 30 seconds. Next, run some liquid dish soap through the disposal. This should take care of the problem if there is not a substantial blocking buildup.
Sometimes http://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/sf-city-worker-killed-in-accident-was-one-of-few-female-plumbers-with-city/1237975525 sinks can be clogged up due to a slow accumulation of solidified grease. One quick fix for this is to try pouring very hot grease down the sink, which will liquefy the grease clogging the drain and carry it down. Water won't work, because grease will not dissolve in water.
Be sure that you check on your water meter when it is not being used. Then, check on the meter 8 hours later. If the meter has changed, even a small amount, this could be a sign that there is an undetected water leak, which can be a severe problem.
If you are going on vacation, look for individual valves under each of your sinks. Turn off water for each appliance. If you live in an apartment building, you will not be able to shut off your system completely but will have to turn off individual valves to prevent any leak from ruining your apartment.
Check to make sure that the walls behind the tiles in your bathroom are not soft. Push into the tiles to confirm that the foundation is firm and robust. If the area is delicate and brittle, there is a good chance that water has created damage behind the tiles over time.
Look at your hot water heater and make sure that the temperature is not higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If it is, it could cause you to get burned or it could reduce the unit's energy consumption. If you determine that the temperature is too high, adjust immediately to avoid any of these things from happening.
If your toilet has sewage back-up, then there is a block somewhere along the branch line that connects the sewage and main lines. If you have difficulty removing this blockage, call a company that has special equipment to clear the line, usually a plumber's snake.
You should never dump grease, fat, or cooking oil down the drain. These fats and oils could solidify in cold pipes and clog your sink. Instead you should put the fats and oils in a dish and wait for it to solidify, then throw it away for garbage men to pick it up.
The key to finding a great plumber for new construction is to look at their prior jobs. Good plumbers take pride in the work they do, so they will have photos and references from previous jobs. If the plumber you are considering hiring does not have references or photos of previous jobs, then stay away and find another.
When it comes to plumbing, there is never an unsolvable problem. If you feel yourself becoming frustrated with the project, you should try to take a break from what you are working on. The greatest mistakes start to happen when you become angry and inpatient, so take a break and walk outside.
Always try plunging any clogged toilet or drain before snaking. Snaking can often push problems further down the pipe and make matters worse. A plunger uses nothing but your strength and water pressure to help clear clogs. For more effective plunging, boil some water and pour into the affected drain or toilet to help loosen things up before plunging.
While it might help to conserve a bit of water to not flush the toilet after every use or only under certain conditions, regularly flushing toilets can help keep water moving in pipes and prevent freezing. The same holds true for letting water run in sinks as well. If you have rarely used bathrooms in your home, make it point to to flush the toilets and run the faucets on a regular basis.
You know what can cause that hammering noise, plus a lot more plumbing information. You just saved yourself a lot of money if any of those issues became unbearable or resulted in broken parts. Take time to read back over this article periodically to make sure that you are on top of your plumbing skills.

Diane had spaces between her teeth, they were short and irregular and she had a missing upper right canine tooth. Diane's teeth were restored with porcelain veneers and an implant in the area of her missing canine tooth.
Note: Patients depicted in photos have provided their consent to display their pictures online. Results may vary.
When Sharon came to my office her facial profile was sunken in, making her look like she had old worn dentures. However, she had most of her natural teeth and they just needed to be restored with porcelain veneers and crowns. Some back teeth were missing and they were replaced by implants and covered with crowns.
I practice what I preach. A few months ago I had all of my old restorations replaced with all-porcelain crowns. My nose was getting too close to my chin, as my teeth were wearing. I also had all-porcelain veneers placed on my upper and lower front teeth to give me a greater smile.
Heidi was very self-conscious about the way her teeth were shaped. As you can see, she had peg laterals and centrals that were too small. By doing a combination of porcelain crowns on her laterals and direct composite veneers on her centrals and cuspids, she now has a beautiful smile that she is confident with and smiles all the time!
Gorgeous work on your patient Heidi, fantastic transitions from gingival margin to tooth. Great work. Great website too, very well put together.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Rob for his professionalism, patient advocacy and support. He displayed extraordinary determination to ensure I received the benefits due from my insurance carrier while maintaining integrity and ethical conduct.
Stanley G.
It is intimidating to be a new patient, a new widow in a new state and a new resident at CherryWood. Inquiring among residents, I became aware of Dr. Carothers - favorably! Just wanted your staff to know my experiences at the office are satisfying and appreciated. You are warm, friendly and professional; giving your patients the sense of being in good hands. Bless you!

Captain America the Winter Soldier In Cinemas 27 March 2014 | Synopsis ❤March 21, 2014
Assalamualaikum All.
tq nuffnang :)korang peminat Kapten Amerika tak?
kalau tanya aku.
aku tau tengok je sebenarnya :D
before this ada juga nampak wayang kapten Amerika ni.
tapi tak ambik point sangat, kecuali beliau ensem :D
tapi ni nak share.
Kapten Amerika akan berada dipawagam berdekatan korang and me too of course,
pada 27 Mac 2014 ni. nak tengok? inshaAllah. :)
tengok tau nanti :)
After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk.
Joining forces with Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off assailants sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.
Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1941, Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is produced by Kevin Feige, p.g.a., directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Emily VanCamp and Hayley Atwell, with Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

For the Narbonne girls basketball team, it was a step back toward prominence.
It was particularly redeeming for Kim Pickett, beating her former school and helping Narbonne re-establish itself as a L.A. City Section power.
Pickett played a major role in Narbonne's 51-47 victory over View Park Prep in the Fairfax Tournament semifinals Thursday, a high-profile showdown between City title contenders that shows Narbonne is indeed relevant again.
Defending City Small School champion View Park Prep (14-5) entered the game ranked No. 1 in the City rankings. Narbonne was No. 3.
"For me, winning this game was a great feeling," Pickett said. "It shows that I can go to another team and accomplish good things. They were ranked No. 1 in the City, but we wanted to show them that we were really the best team. We're putting things in everybody's heads now."
Pickett said there was never any friction with the transfer.
She said she wasn't enjoying the small-school experience.
Pickett scored 10 points and provided poise and ball control for Narbonne.
She set up a spectacular sequence in the third quarter, when she hit a cutting Nailah Long, who made a nifty pass to Tashawn McGhee for a layup and a 34-26 lead.
"That was my favorite play," Pickett said. "After that it was like, `OK, we got this.' It felt good."
Narbonne (11-5) can confirm its status as a City power in Saturday's final against Marine League rival and City contender Washington at 2:30p.m. at Fairfax.
Yet Narbonne felt it made a statement against View Park Prep. Since the teams are in different divisions for the City playoffs, this game carried underlying significance.
"People were saying View Park was No. 1 in the City, and that motivated us," Narbonne forward Atoe Jackson said. "We knew we belong up there."
Jackson did most of the dirty work for Narbonne, recording 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Jackson overpowered defenders on putbacks and controlled the boards, showing she is recovered from a broken left shin that slowed her in the offseason.
"This was her breakout game," Narbonne coach Victoria Sanders said.
Jackson also had a black eye, a bruised elbow and a busted lip for her trouble.
"My whole mind-set is never to give up," Jackson said. "You need to have a mind-set that you are a better player. And my team gives me a lot of motivation to keep going strong."
Jackson held her own against View Park Prep's Angel Smith, who had a distinct size advantage but managed just six points.
"That girl was like too big," Jackson said. "She was so tall, like three of me. And she was aggressive too. I just had to stay focused."
Danni Pruitt led View Park Prep with 24 points. Christal Jeff added eight points.
View Park Prep had trouble breaking Narbonne's press and committed 28 turnovers.
Tori Breshers added eight points, five rebounds and three steals for Narbonne, including six points in the second half. Tailer Butler contributed seven points, eight rebounds, four assists and five steals. McGhee added five rebounds.
Sanders said the Gauchos' brutal nonleague schedule that included stops at the Brea Tournament, the Nike Tournament of Champions in Arizona and the KSA Tournament in Orlando, Fla., helped shape Narbonne into the imposing team it appeared to be against View Park Prep.
"Playing in those tournaments taught us to play through adversity," Sanders said. "Experience is our biggest factor right now."

HTGM stock jumped 450% ($10+) on a CE mark, and then continued flying after earnings yesterday.
What started out as a routine short sale turned into a $900 long scalp after HTGM squeezed its way to 450% gains in 24 hours. I would never recommend buying a struggling company such as this for a long play, but low-float runners with huge social hype can make for a momentum-buying opportunity. BE SAFE when going long on cash-poor companies showing operations losses like HTGM, and get out quickly. The only way they can make money is by issuing more shares in an offering, which usually causes an instant crash. An offering for HTGM will likely occur next week. Watch for this as a short play.

March News
March 6th is World Book Day & I shall be going to talk to year 5 children at Stoborough School, near Wareham. I have not visited the school before, but understand they love my books! I'll be talking about writing stories.
DayOne hope to release the 4th Syding series book in March ……so watch this space. It is called 'Romans and Ransoms'.
News from Dernier Publishing is that 'I want to be an Airline Pilot' is being translated into Greek, because there are few Christian stories for the children there. Pray that this venture will be greatly blessed!
Also from Dernier I have been told that the production of the World War 1 adventure, 'A Pennyworth of Peppermints' is well on the way and the book should be published by Easter.

Very soon the fourth of the Syding Series should be published, I'll post a picture as soon as it is available.
The other exciting news is that the production of 'A Pennyworth of Peppermints' is now well under way, and hopefully will be released this spring. It is an exciting adventure story set in the Great War, and hopefully will complement the material being produced to remember the start of that period in our history.
For the adults, 'Jesus Hope for the Nations' is complete, and I am trying to find a publisher for this biographical work of Bishop John Rucyahana of Rwanda. It is also a special year for Rwanda as they have events to remember the genocide which took place 20 years ago. It would be great to have this book published to tell the story of some of what God has been doing through these years. Please pray with me for this to get published!
The daffodils are coming, in spite of being waterlogged – so let's thank God for the signs of spring!

Best Adventurous Things To Do In Bali
Best Adventurous activities To Do In Bali

In spite of the fairly small size, there are so many adventurous things to do in Bali. From white water rafting, diving and volcano hiking to wellness and yoga retreats, wildlife watching and temples. Check out this list of things to do in Bali to get the most out of your stay. In Ubud you can find an abundance of tour companies offering bike trips around the island. The typical tour is a 40 km mostly downhill bike trip that includes breakfast at the top of a mountain, a visit to a coffee farm and a traditional Balinese village on the way down. Youll stop at a restaurant before heading back, but this meal is not included in the tour price.
Image credit: Instagram Bali ****erfly Park
Visit Bali ****erfly park and get the chance to see a ****erfly be born. The park has really nice surroundings for the animals plus a nursery where new ****erflies are being hatched every day. The park also has other insects such as the Rhinoceros beetle, huge walking sticks, leaf insects and the most adorable little critter.
Image credit: InstagramTegalalang Rice Fields
Balis most charming feature is without doubt its rice paddies. If you stay in Ubud, you will have easy access to a walk through the terraced fields. The most popular ones are Tegalalang and Jatiluwih which are in the same area. On the latter, the vast expanses of green rice paddies are stepped along an entire mountain, from its peak to where its foot meets the sea. Plus Jatiluwih Rice Terraces is a UNESCO site. Its truly stunning.
Image credit: InstagramSurfing
Bali is one of the most iconic surf destinations in the world. A good time to enjoy Balis waves without the crowds is from October to April with the most popular season being May through September. Youll get perfect waves, offshore winds, warm water and sun all year round.
Image credit: InstagramUbud Monkey Forest
If you feel particularly adventurous, then check out the notorious monkey forest in Ubud. This forest is home to over 600 aggressive and rather cheeky monkeys. Although the place is visited by hundreds of tourists every day, the word is that people often get attacked, bit or mugged by these spoiled macaques.

Feeling adventurous and in good shape? Then hike Balis most active volcano at night and reach the summit in time to catch the sunrise. Its a magnificent view from above the clouds.

Employers should take extra care when considering rejecting a job applicant because of a concern that a health condition is likely to deteriorate (even if that view is wrong). The statutory definition of disability includes progressive conditions which have an effect on ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities but this effect is not yet – but is likely to become – a substantial adverse effect. An employer's concern based on an incorrect belief that the condition is likely to deteriorate may amount to a perception that the candidate has such a progressive condition; this will be a perception of disability as defined by statute and therefore an unlawful ground for refusing the candidate. It is not necessary to show that the employer knew the legal definition of disability and considered it satisfied, only that it thought the individual had an impairment with the features necessary to satisfy the definition.
In The Chief Constable of Norfolk v Coffey, it was held that the employer rejected a candidate's application for transfer to another police force because of its (incorrect) view that her hearing condition was likely to deteriorate in the future to the point where she would have to be placed on restrictive duties. The EAT upheld a ruling that this amounted to unlawful direct discrimination on the grounds of perceived disability, as an individual whose condition was not perceived to be likely to deteriorate would have been treated differently. Leave to appeal has been sought.
In the meantime, employers should be wary: the potential for claims is broad given the scope for inaccurate assumptions about the effects and likely duration of a condition and the likelihood of deterioration. The issue could arise in relation to both physical and mental impairments: employers could easily get caught out by making and taking into account wrong assumptions about the severity, duration or likely deterioration of an individual's stress or anxiety, for example, and thereby extend discrimination protection to an individual who in fact does not currently have a condition satisfying the definition of disability. It will be important for an employer to critically assess the rationale for its actions and ensure factors that meet the definition of disability are not at play.

Hello Streetvibes readers. Let's talk politics, a subject that I love to hate. My most recent diatribe, I mean: "essay," had to do with what I cynically referred to as the Republican "goat rodeo." At this writing, only four of those 16 goats remain, but the embarrassingly juvenile circus has continued, degenerating to what might euphemistically be called "locker-room humor," or a grade school cafeteria food fight.
This time, let's talk about the Democrats. Only two left, battling it out for the coveted nomination, but doing so in a manner that makes the Republican "goat rodeo" even more absurd by comparison. Hillary and Bernie have chosen the high road, criticizing one another's position on issues, voting records, and intentions, but refraining (almost entirely) from attacking each other's character (or "endowments"). They are conducting what could be termed a "more civilized" debate over things that matter to those of us who comprise the body politic. Less entertaining, perhaps, than the boisterous Republican "goats," but way more substantive.
Clearly, most readers of this paper will vote for one of these two candidates (although some, for excellent reasons, will be voting Green, for Jill Stein).
Let me make several potentially outrageous statements up front: It matters that people (you) vote, but your actual, individual vote…makes no real difference…unless an election were to be decided by one vote, which—except in the smallest of local elections—never happens. When we go to vote, we put such thoughts out of our minds as we perform what we see as a civic duty or privilege.
Voting (participating in the choosing of officials for public office) is part of the democratic process, but—unfortunately–we no longer live in a democracy. Historian and wag Gore Vidal famously stated that "America does not have a two party system. There is only one party, the Corporate Party, and it has two wings." Let's call them the Repugs and the Dims.
In painful fact, we live in an oligarchy, dominated and controlled by wealthy business interests. Basically things have always been this way. Proof? The founding fathers were slave owners… businessmen, first and foremost. Fortunately, social contracts (laws) are in place to protect some of us more vulnerable citizens from the greedy power of the corporatists. None the less, these money men shape and (through the media) control much of our lives.
Of course, it makes a difference whether the democrats or the republicans are in control of the mighty ship of state, because the democratic wing of the Corporate Party tends to be more concerned about those of us who occupy lower berths on the ship, or–to switch metaphors like horses in mid-stream–who live on rungs closer to the bottom of the social ladder.
So, a few days ago, those readers who voted the Democratic ballot in Ohio helped decide between two aging political war horses, Hillary and Bernie. Hillary had the backing of those who control the "machine" of democratic politics. Bernie (who is technically an independent), attracted a huge "populist" following. Bernie has been going to "we the people" for his campaign money and support.
Full disclosure: This writer decided to cast his primary ballot for the Senator from Vermont. Mrs. Clinton won in our state, and–absent some huge campaign calamity–she will most likely be the nominee. [I have yet to decide whether I will vote for her in the general election.]
Here is my take on the two candidates:
Bernie Sanders (Age 74)
Officially, the Bern is the only declared "Independent" in the US Senate. Ideologically, he is a Socialist, which–until he proceeded to run this very effective campaign–was a dirty word in US politics. Bernie has made us way more comfortable with socialism, which is the river of benign governance in which most of us swim, off and on, from cradle to grave. He almost always votes with the Democrats in the Senate, but the Party does not hold him in very high regard. Bernie is also a Jew. Just like Jesus was. He has had a long political career in a state where I lived for five years (1999-2004). He was one of Vermont's two representatives for 16 years, before he won a seat in the senate in 2006.
I shook hands and chatted with Sanders at a fundraising barbecue in 2002. Straight forward. Likeable. Not cloying. Not a baby kisser. Most famously, he has never taken contributions from corporations or their PACs. He is a populist, meaning his appeal is to large groups of ordinary people, and it is from these grassroots connections that he receives his funding (In February, he raised more money than his opponent, with all her corporate connections).
In 2004, I had a second encounter with Sanders, an encounter which disappointed me. At a large union hall in a small Vermont town, I sat among three hundred others, listening to a campaign speech. When the Congressman opened the floor to questions, I asked him if he was aware that on September the 10th, 2001 (one day before the day which "changed everything," Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, held a press conference, wherein he revealed that the Pentagon had lost track of (could not account for) 2.3 Trillion dollars. Not billions. Trillions!! A staggeringly unimaginable amount of money.
The day following this incredible announcement, three buildings at the World Trade Center were demolished, and no one seemed concerned about the loss of 2.3 TRILLION dollars. Sanders' response to my question was shamefully inadequate. "Yes, I am aware of that," he said, "but it is a very complicated matter, and I am not going to go into it at this point."
Complicated? Indeed. But no one has yet attempted to unravel the mystery of how a government agency could lose so much money without so much as an accounting. This failure to provide accountability includes Senator Sanders. 2.3 trillion dollars could provide college tuition for every eligible student in the US for years to come. 2.3 trillion dollars could solve the problem of homelessness forever.
Here's the thing about Bernie. He talks about creating a revolution, about the need to radically change the "System." In 2008, Obama campaigned on the notion of "change." Whatever. Leftist journalist Chris Hedges makes it clear that Sanders is not a revolutionary politician. He is trapped, as Hillary is trapped, in the political "matrix." He will support Hillary if/when she gets the nomination.
Hedges says, in no uncertain terms, that revolution stands a chance of happening if and when enough people (you and I) take to the streets and force the "System" to grind to a halt, in the way that Charlie Chaplin shoved a monkey wrench (literally and figuratively) into the grinding gears of the corporate machine in his brilliant film, Modern Times.
As one who participated in the Occupy Movement in 2011, I find myself in total agreement with Hedges. We the People might someday create revolutionary change. But a politician, working within the system, doesn't have a chance. So, for me, Bernie is a good choice, but we are still choosing between greater and lesser evils.
Hillary Clinton (Age 68)
Among the many ways I think of myself: activist, writer, actor, teacher, one of my most profound self-images is that of an ardent feminist, or as Alice Walker (The Color Purple) expresses it: a "womanist." I believe that, unless patriarchy is eliminated, the world will never come to its senses. Unless women share equally with men, in all things, the world cannot mature.
With that in mind, I am totally ready for a woman to be President of the US. In her day, Eleanor Roosevelt might have been better than her husband. In some ways, I will be happy to see Hillary as President. But, unfortunately, I will most likely not be voting for her. The main reason: Hillary has proven herself to be a war-monger. As a journalist for the international Franciscan order, I have been up-close-and-personal with too many wars (Nicaragua, Croatia, Haiti, Bosnia).
I believe that most wars should never have happened. But continuing to resort to the violent solution is the American way. Vindictiveness is in our breakfast food. And Hillary Rodham Clinton has supported every war the US has waged since 9/11. Some of these wars were propagated during her time as Secretary of State. Like her husband Bill, Hillary seems always drawn to the militarist solution. Perhaps—as a woman—she feels she must prove herself macho by opting for the military solution, time after time. The killer fact for me is that Hillary has never met a war she didn't like.
She has other tragic flaws, like a decided affinity for Wall Street and for business as usual. Her husband made war against the poor in our own country, and she supported that war as well. I could go on and on with a list of reasons why my conscience may prevent me from voting for her.
That said, there should be little doubt that another Clinton Presidency would be less catastrophic than having a Trump, a Cruz, a Rubio, or a Kasich in the White House for the next four years.
Those of us who are waiting for a revolution will continue to bide our time. As Leonard Cohen sang in his amazing futurist song: "Democracy is coming to the U-S-A. But it is not going to come as result of this Presidential election.

In Horsham we have some of the best Secondary Schools in West Sussex and a Sixth Form College with national recognition.
In the article last week about the application from Liberty for the North Horsham development, we find that another one is planned on this new site. This secondary school has been described as a 'Free School'.
It may not be quite the kind of 'Free School' as proposed by Michael Gove, as from May last year all new academies established after May 2015 are regarded by the Government as free schools.
However, this presumably means they will be able to employ non-qualified staff and have no limit on how much they can pay their headteacher, two of the controversial elements of this initiative.
Parents need to be aware that their children may not be taught by people who have teaching qualifications and that Academies are funded and controlled by Whitehall.
Free schools have not had a great track record. A secret document prepared in 2013 for Lord Nash, then a schools minister, outlines a strategy to 'step in fast to cut political damage'.
The confidential papers, leaked by the Times Educational Supplement in April 2013, warn that the 'political ramifications of any more free schools being judged inadequate is very high and speedy intervention is essential' to prevent any fallout landing in the DfE. Readers may remember that the Discovery Free School in Crawley was deemed inadequate and had to be closed.
The Swedish free schools have not shown any significant change in the standards of Swedish education.
By the time this school is opened it may be designated as a grammar school.
Here again this type of school might not be delivering the quality education for bright but disadvantaged pupils as was their original conception.
Of the 164 remaining in England, 161 of them have fewer than ten per cent of pupils who are on free school meals. The Institute for Fiscal Studies have found that bright disadvantaged children are less likely to attend a grammar school than advantaged children.
Horsham has a proud reputation for good secondary education. The pupils and families of Horsham deserve the highest standards of education with local accountability.

Happy, Happy Turkey Day
by maxmosher
The film makers of the Addams Family movies had a difficult task; how to keep the spirit of the original 1960's sitcom, which was inspired by Charles Addams' macabre cartoons for The New Yorker, while moving past the one-joke premise ("They're creepy and they're kooky…" the cartoony theme chimed.)
Their solution was brilliant. They simply rotated the perspective. So while the 1990's versions of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester and the rest of the clan were still "creepy and kooky", they were the ones we related to. They were a foil for mocking the superficiality and latent racism of conformist, suburban, Republican America.
Even the title of the sequel, 'Addams Family Values', subverts a conservative catch phrase, while acknowledging that the family, despite their ghoulishness, does actually have values; Gomez and Morticia are lustily devoted to each other; the Addamses promote family pride and tradition; Wednesday and Pugsley enjoy playing together, albeit at killing one other.
The Addams Family as stand-ins for society's outcasts is never made more clear than in the Thanksgiving scene in the sequel. Wednesday and Pugsley are sent to the conformist Camp Chippewa, where the Fascistically cheerful counselors force them to play sports, watch 'The Sound of Music' and take part in the end of session play, which commemorates the first Thanksgiving despite it being late summer. All of the rich, blonde, rhinoplastied kids get to be the pilgrims. All of the Jewish, black, middle-eastern, overweight, bespectacled and children with disabilities are cast as the Indians, with Wednesday as their leader, Pochahontas.
When Christina Ricci commits her sweet revenge (the likes of which hadn't been seen on film since Carrie was crowned Prom Queen) she is acting for everyone who ever felt like the underdog. For this reason, the Addams Family can be seen as 'queer' while featuring no homosexuality, although I have my suspicions about Wednesday.

Photo of Megan Fox's Son Hits The Web
Any seed by Megan Fox is bound to be a star.
A photo of her husband Brian Austin Green cradling their four-month-old Noah Shannon spread like wildfire across the 'Net. The new parents were vacationing in Rio de Janeiro but couldn't escape the lurking paps who were able to steal a shot of the gorgeous baby, who takes after his parents.
The This Is 40 star hasn't kept her maternal process on the low, admitting that the delivery "hurt so bad" in an interview with Access Hollywood.
"It was so intense. And I thought I was gonna be really tough and make it, I was gonna labor to like 8 cm... but the first contraction that I got was horrific!," she recalled.
Still, the product of such hard labor was well worth the pain as Fox is embracing her newfound motherhood. "He's getting to that place where he's smiling and he's almost ready to laugh, and I can't wait for that baby laugh that almost makes you feel like you can fly, like your heart's going to explode."

Psychological Health and Psychological Sickness are always in the media these days. All too often the explanations are unfavourable. So, with out further ado, lets get the bad information out the way first. Whereas there was a local inhabitants somewhere this imposture was not shown up; within the notion of the human race we found an summary assumption of universality which served as cover for probably the most real looking practices. On the opposite facet of the ocean there was a race of less-than-people who, because of us, would possibly reach our standing a thousand years hence, perhaps; briefly, we mistook the elite for the genus.

There is no issue more important than employee safety. Captureit's Fire Roll Call feature means that all employees and the company can be assured that employees' on/off site status is always fully up-to-date.
When the fire alarm sounds Captureit will instantly print out details of all employees on-site (and those who have temporarily gone off-site). The system even works across multiple locations and takes account of employees moving between locations.
The Captureit Fire Roll Call is a great health and safety feature, and assists companies with their Duty of Care towards their employees. It also proves that you are serious about complying with the Fire Safety Order.
As such, a comprehensive Fire Roll Call (often also called a Fire Register) is built into Captureit as standard. This shows, by department, all employees who are clocked in and their current on/off site status. If you have a suitable fire panel, then a connection between this and any on-line clocking terminal means that the process of printing out the roll call will be automatic. If you do not have a fire panel, then it is simply a case of entering '999' via the terminal keypad, or clicking an icon that we provide, on any PC desktop.
The Fire Roll Call prints instantly and can be directed to any number of printers (which we always recommend). It is then simply a case of each fire marshal collecting a copy on their way out of the building. You have the option of using a dedicated fire roll call printer, but most customers choose to send the roll call to multiple printers around their premises, making it a certainty that copies will always be available.
You also have the option of sending the roll call to several email addresses (for example, your fire wardens, or line managers). All that is required is a mobile device that is connected to the internet, such as a mobile phone or tablet.
For businesses with larger sites or multiple locations, our Enhanced Fire Roll Call can be customised to show data for individual sites, departments, last clocking terminal used and other criteria. This can be especially useful when employees move between sites and where it would be useful to know the location of the last clocking terminal used by each employee.
Employees leaving site during the working day can play havoc with understanding who is actually on-site. Captureit solves this problem in a number of ways. One is that each on-line terminal has a dedicated 'off-site' button. An employee simply presses this when going off-site (and presses again, when later returning). This option has the advantage of not requiring the employee to clock out (as if they were leaving for the day) and therefore keeps them clocked in for attendance calculation purposes. If employees are not required to clock for lunch, then a second option is to ask employees leaving site (at lunchtime) to press the dedicated lunch button. This would have the effect of booking that employee to an 'off-site lunch'. It also has the advantage of identifying the employees who then may take a 'long lunch'.

We'd not been living in this house very long when I opened the bedroom curtains one morning and saw a heron stood on the coal shed roof. I'd never seen a heron so close before and was positively thrilled.
My excitement didn't last however when I went outside later and found loads of dead fish floating in what little bit of water was left in the pond. The heron had waded in to get the fish and punctured the pond lining in the process. There were still quite a few fish left in the murky water at the bottom so then we had the job of fishing them out and keeping them in various baths and tubs while we relined the pond.
After that we put some netting over the pond to keep herons out. Last year this was replaced with a piece of security fencing that you have round building sites, not very pretty but is easy to lift on and off.
Which brings me to these two photos taken today -
Nice chunky icicles where water runs into the pond through the fencing
Here are a few more photos I took in the snow

Mr. Cox drove a turnaround in performance for a multinational business-to-business organisation by taking an interim role to step change its order to cash ability across several European countries. He re-engineered the operating model, a mix of centralised and local, outsourced and in-house activities, from initial sales order through customer services, logistics and invoicing. Key to the program's success was Mr. Cox's close work with the sales force to give them the tools, a channel and a dedicated team to pass on customer issues in order for them to return to a focus on sales.
Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Cox worked for Centrica, a Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 energy and home services organization, most recently as Commercial Director for British Gas Central Heating, a £280 million division. His turnaround of the top-line in this business, through segmenting the market, differentiating the portfolio, entering new markets, readdressing a complex multichannel mix to market and transforming the pricing strategy, contributed to a 30 percent improvement in profit in a market that was declining 10 percent per annum. Mr. Cox was also responsible for driving improved revenues by differentiating the product portfolio to include home automation products, a relatively new industry.
Mr. Cox also served as Commercial Director for Electrical and Dyno Services within BGS, where he was responsible for driving growth for its insurance division. He grew the top-line of this business by seven percent by driving a transformed proposition portfolio; creating new sales incentive schemes for the sales force; driving a pricing strategy to improve customer lifetime value; and improving the multichannel strategy, supported by new performance objectives for channels and agents.
Mr. Cox spent eight years as a Management Consultant at Accenture across the European and Australian practices, where he specialised in managing large transformation within blue-chip clients' sales and marketing organisations. Examples of Mr. Cox's projects include driving the sales force effectiveness of a consumer goods organisation by remodelling the customer experience sales, the supporting sales operating model and creating training to improve uptake of key systems to capture customer and product insight.
Mr. Cox earned a bachelor honours degree in Japanese and business studies from the University of Sheffield and an MBA from the London Business School. He also earned postgraduate qualifications in change management from the Australian Graduate School of Management and in marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing. Mr. Cox speaks fluent English and Spanish and is conversant in German, Catalan, French and Japanese.

Obviously most of all are habitual and prefer to eat junk foods in parties or by street vendor. Though eating junk food regularly is not just bad for your waistline, it can also damage your liver in a way similar to hepatitis, a new study has found.
These facts come acrss during a television programme, 'The Doctors,' where it was found that even just a month of eating fast food can cause significant changes to the liver.
The study found regular consumption of fast food items like fried chicken and onion rings are particularly bad for liver, and have many surprising complications and dangers for the people that consume them.
"The amount of fat and saturated fats creates a condition called fatty liver," Dr Drew Ordon of "The Doctors". "We're all guilty, and every now and then you have to splurge, but the problem is that so many people are getting into eating fast food, especially kids, as their staple, and I think that's the point," said Ordon.
What is interesting about the finding is that even after just a month of consistently eating fatty foods from fast food restaurants, there are significant changes in your liver.
Ordon describes the changes in the liver enzymes as being surprisingly similar to the damage that is seen by hepatitis, which can ultimately lead to liver failure.
"We know that they are adding salt, and cooking it in fat, but they're also putting sugar on them too. Why sugar? Because it helps get them golden crispy," said Ordon.
"It's three strikes," he said. Ordon also warns that consumers should be wary of items at fast food establishments marked healthy or fresh because there are not clear regulations for these items, and the food can often have added chemicals, especially salads.
"Some places actually put propylene glycol on the salads, which is anti-freeze, the reason behind that is that it prevents wilting.
"And although they say a little anti-freeze is not going to hurt you, obviously given a choice you don't want to be eating anti-freeze," said Ordon.

on saturday, we took a drive out to boulder, a quick 35 minute trip from denver. the skies were gloomy in the morning but the clouds parted for a few hours so we could enjoy the farmers market, pearl street and even a silent disco equipped with hula hooping.
the market was expansive but welcoming, featuring not only local produce, but also delicious prepared food, musicians and makers. we sampled turkey and brie sandwiches from the organic sandwich company and chai tea from the dushanbe tea house. later, after some shopping on pearl (including the foodie paradise, cured), we finished the day at basta pizzeria, about a ten minute drive from the town center. this was some of the best food we've had out here in colorado (pictured: polenta with fiddlehead ferns and pork belly and a seasonal pizza with spring nettle pesto, onions and colorado lamb).

A's lose in lineup and scoreboard
The injuries are tough to take, but not as tough as the losses.
The A's, who know lots about both, are buried deeper in the American League West (11 games back) than they are in the trainer's room (10 disabled list stints). Saturday, they added one to each column and were trounced by the first-place Rangers 14-1, their third loss here in two days.
This easily was the worst, matching their most lopsided defeat of the season.
If the Rangers are the league's best team and the A's are the worst - the standings suggest exactly that - the series is playing out accordingly. The Rangers swept Friday's doubleheader and collected 17 hits Saturday for their 20th win in May. Another win today would match the club record for most wins in a month.
"A game like that, even if you have no injuries and a full bench, it's still a bad loss," A's manager Bob Geren said. "It's not, in any phase of the game, the way we wanted to play."
With Travis Buck (oblique strain) on the DL and Jack Cust (back spasms) day to day, Geren drew up so many possible lineups that he wasn't exactly sure 90 minutes before the game how his final version would go. It didn't matter. It had to be changed again anyway. Third baseman Jack Hannahan was a late scratch with back spasms.
Of course he was.
Once the game began, it was surprising pitching coach Curt Young didn't pull a hamstring repeatedly running to the mound to check on his struggling pitchers.
Starter Brett Anderson gave up six runs in four innings. Kevin Cameron, four runs in two innings. Russ Springer, three runs in one inning. By comparison, Andrew Bailey shined: one run in one inning.
"My worst game since I've been in the big leagues," said Anderson, a veteran of nine starts. "Not having good stuff or command, and them being able to square up to everything, it wasn't a good day at the yard."
The offense wasn't any better. In the first inning, despite three walks and a Kurt Suzuki double, the A's scored only once. After that, they never threatened.
The first inning was a waste. Brandon McCarthy walked the first two batters, but No. 3 hitter Matt Holliday swung at a 2-0 pitch and bounced into a double play. McCarthy then walked Jason Giambi on four pitches, and Suzuki hit an RBI double.
With runners at second and third, Ryan Sweeney popped out.
Geren defended Holliday for swinging on 2-0 rather taking a strike, saying, "Your No. 3 or No. 4 hitter, you trust them to the point they'll zone up a pitch and hopefully bust the game open if they get the right pitch. If it's the second inning or you're down in the lineup, you could do it differently. I'm sure his batting average on 2-0 is pretty darn good."
It's .457 in 92 career at-bats.
"I'm looking for a pitch to drive," Holliday said. "I probably should've taken that pitch, but I was looking to do damage. If I hit a double or home run, then it looks great. You could second-guess everything in baseball."
While the Rangers are 11 games above .500 for the first time since 2004, the A's slipped 11 below for the first time this year. The Rangers had more extra-base hits (7) than the A's had hits (5). Hank Blalock and Marlon Byrd homered consecutively off Anderson, and Nelson Cruz homered off Cameron, his seventh homer in 11 games.

The question is should you wait until Wotlk for the new 22 slot [Glacial Bag] or buy the current 22 slot ["Gigantique" Bag]? At the moment on the beta, 22 slot universal bags are the biggest ones you can obtain, including raid drops. While the mats for a [Glacial Bag] looks expensive and has a total of 32 days (16 with specialization AND trading) worth of cloth cool downs, speculators seem to think the final cost of the bag will still be less than 1200g. The current materials that are needed for this bag are; 4 [Moonshroud], 4 [Ebonweave], 1 [Eternium Thread].
The materials broken down are:
The cloth will essentially be free plus the 3g for the thread. The eternals can be farmed or bought off the auction house. My prediction is this bag will have to be priced lower than the current 22 slot to remain competitive. At first when there is a huge demand for the specialized cloth, these bags will probably be around 1000g, over time as more and more players hit level cap, they will start to fall. So in the mean time, wait till Wotlk until you buy your new 22 slot bags.

This is an infographic campaign created for NCSA Athletic Recruiting. The goal here was find a more dynamic way to communicate with student athletes about how they should be contacting college coaches. As I took the lead on this campaign I had a large say in not only its design elements, but also what content we would share. I directed a team in order to come up with the information we found was most valuable to student athletes and then once all the information was compiled I came up with a cohesive design aesthetic high school student athletes could relate to. I designed the campaign to be translatable across web and print formats, specifically email, website, and social media marketing.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A final planned for Rio de Janeiro's Olympic stadium is to be moved after host club Botafogo said on Tuesday it would not allow Flamengo to play there because one of their players made fun of their rivals in last week's match between the clubs.
Vinicius Jnr, the 17-year-old Flamengo player who was signed by Real Madrid last year, scored one of the goals in last Saturday's 3-1 semi-final win.
The young striker, who is at Flamengo on loan, celebrated by rubbing his eyes as if crying, a gesture often used to taunt Botafogo fans.
The provocation led to scuffles between players and ill feeling after the match, which took Flamengo into next Sunday's Rio de Janeiro state championship final against Boavista.
The final was due to be held at the Olympic stadium, but the hosts withdrew permission after Vinicius Jnr and Flamengo refused to apologise for the wind up.
"The decision was taken solely because of the celebration by the opponent who – in Botafogo's understanding - disrespected the club, its players, members and fans," Botafogo said in a statement.
"Days have passed and until now there has been no retraction by the player or the club."
An alternative venue for the final has not yet been decided.

They want to both update the look of their site, as well as give visiters the option of purchasing products directly from their page (I'm thinking pay pal). My question is, how much should I charge for this? I'm not some sort of professional designer... but i know my way around making webpages. any suggestions?

Performance CurvesRegulated Switch Mode Power SuppliesDerating
The ambient temperature is a determining factor that limits the power an electronic power supply can deliver continuously. If the temperature around the electronic components is too high, their life will be significantly reduced.
The nominal ambient temperature for the Universal range of Phaseo power supplies is 50°C. Above this temperature, derating is necessary up to a maximum temperature of 60°C.
The graph below shows the power (in relation to the nominal power) that the power supply can deliver continuously, depending on the ambient temperature.XMaximum operating temperature (°C)

In late January of this year the Greek people elected a new government. The Syriza party under prime minister Tsipras has opposed austerity policies and even promised the Greek population that half of the Greek debt will be written off if Syriza is elected. With a quarter of the Greek labor force unemployed and a debt 174% of GDP, it seems rational for the Greek people to elect a government with such ambitious promises. But can these promises come to fruition?
Over the past week the Greek finance minister Yanis Vaoufakis has been touring Europe in order to re-negotiate the terms of repayment of Greek debt. The international bailout agreement for the Greeks involves a 240 billion euro loan from the European Central Bank, the European Union and International Monetary Fund under the condition that the Greeks adopt budget cuts and economic reform. The budget cuts have led to continual unemployment and falling living standards in Greece. The new Greek government wants payments to be tied to Greek economic growth. In that scenario the Greeks would pay higher interest on debt as their economy grows. Another proposal has been the idea of a debt swap whereby the current debt is swapped for debt tied to nominal GDP, reflecting the Greek's ability to pay their debt. Currently, tax revenues are enough to cover government spending but not enough to repay Greece's debt. The new government has placed emphasis on the well being of the Greek people, pushing for an end to austerity. The Syriza coalition believes that decreasing austerity will lead to more employment and growth in Greece. For that reason the Greek government has already began to rollback austerity measures (cuts in the budget).
There is a real possibility that the new Greek government will refuse a new set of bailout funding from its lenders if conditions to its repayments aren't re-negotiated. In this case the European Central Bank has indicated it might offer cash directly to Greek banks if the country refuses to accept it. However, if the Greek government allows budget expansion and refuses to continue decreasing the deficit, the European Central Bank may stop lending to Greece all together. In that case a national crisis will occur as Greek banks are low on deposits. With the ongoing financial crisis in Greece, citizens have stopped depositing their money in banks which makes it harder for banks to make loans. So, Greek banks need the European Central Bank loans if they want to keep operating.
With the ongoing talks the plausibility of Greece leaving the European Union has increased from 0 to 20%. If the European Central Bank stops lending to Greece then the country would be forced to leave the eurozone and re-introduce its own currency. Leaving the eurozone would also mean leaving the European Union.
While German officials have made it clear that their priority remains to keep the European Union intact it has become obvious that Germany and other European lenders are apprehensive to make concessions for Greece. There is a fear that if Greek demands for restructuring debt are met other debtor nations might ask to be accommodated as well.
So, while the Syriza party's platform seems benevolent it is highly unlikely to come to fruition. So far, the European lending countries have been apprehensive to listen to the demands of the Greeks. And with the way things are going the likelihood of Greece leaving the European Union increases by the day. But perhaps that might be the best step to economic recovery.
