Basement Waterproofing is a common term that describes the range of services conducted to fix leaky basements. We quite often get inquiries as to "How much will it cost to waterproof my basement?" That's the same as taking your car right into a dealer and asking, "How much does it cost to fix my vehicle?" The answer is usually, "It depends upon what's needed".
The first step in basement waterproofing is always to identify the origin of the leak. This can usually be achieved by consulting with the home owner to determine how, when, and where the issue occurs. When the basement is unfinished, analysis is much easier simply because water leaves a trail. Be certain, however, as your Basement Water proofing experts are also well educated to help you find the origin of the problem in a finished basement.
A large amount of our leaky and wet basement repairs include sealing foundation wall cracks in poured concrete foundations (poured concrete is easily the most common type of foundation in the Trenton, MI region). Cracks are easily visible in an unfinished basement; seeping cracks leave water stains on the foundation wall. In a finished basement, the identification starts by determining the area where water first makes its way into the basement, then searching the outside for a crack. Most cracks extend to the top of the foundation wall, that is normally exposed above the soil line. We handle these complaints to stop the issues associated with wet and leaky basements. Our repair and sump pump service may be the only way to handle a flooded basement.
An additional common leaky basement waterproofing issue is when the source of seepage reaches the cove joint, {where the|the Trenton, MI where the} floor and wall meet. Usually this is caused by hydrostatic pressure, which takes place when the water table rises after extented rain or snow melt. The accumulated weight of water in the earth (8 pounds per gallon) forces water beneath the footing and up to the basement causing the damp, wet and leaky basement. The very best remedy to this kind of problem is the installation of a Drain Tile System, with a sump pump utilized to discharge the water. The drain tile (called a French drain in some places) relieves the hydrostatic pressure by providing a pretty simple path for the water to escape, thus removing the water pressure so that the seepage problem goes away completely. The problem can be treated from either the interior or exterior.
Sometimes the diagnosis will show water on its way over the top of the foundation, through the mortar joint between the brick that sits atop the foundation wall. This situation occurs because the exterior grade was made up above the top of the foundation wall, either by earth or by the previous construction of driveways, walks or patios. This can easily be confirmed by running a garden hose on the ground alongside the area in question. Water will usually enter the basement quickly, so we recommend that you stand-by ready to turn off the water at a moment notice.
Often, lowering the grade is not a possible option in these instances. We usually recommend that an Exterior Subsoil Membrane be applied to the below grade portion of the wall in situations like this. It only needs to cover the wall from the soil line down and overlap the foundation by about 6 inches. Membranes are also very effective for waterproofing brick and stone foundations.
There are numerous alternative methods water can enter a basement, as well. The real key to waterproofing your basement starts with properly diagnosing the cause of the problem. We offer a zero cost appointment and estimate by a qualified and knowledgeable Basement Advisor as the starting point in basement waterproofing. Contact us and set up an consultation. See what some of our customers have to say.
Basement drains come in many shapes and sizes, some which work better than others. Basement drains also have many names, including drain tile, weeping tile, French drain, interior footing drain, and other names. The best way to keep your basement dry all the time is to install a drainage system on the inside perimeter of your basement. An interior system can bypass the expense and damage to your yard that is caused by an exterior drainage system. Interior systems cost half as much, install in 1-2 days, and are installed with no need to excavate the outside of your home.
To install a basement drain inside your home, we will run a drainage system across all leaking walls and ideally along the entire perimeter. Once the water is collected, it's directed to a sump pump, which discharges the water out and away from the house.
All basement drains are not alike, and some work much better than others. American Waterworks would like to share with you some of the features of the best basement drains -- and why our system is the one for you.
If you're interested in more information, we are ready to help you. We are known for our excellent service and installation of drain systems. We offer free drain system installation and basement waterproofing quotes to homeowners throughout the Trenton, MI area.

Howto:Submit patches
Patch Guidelines
Any invasive or non-trivial patches should preferably adhere to the following recommendations:
- Search the flightgear-devel list archives (old) for any relevant discussion and then post to the flightgear-devel mailing list describing your idea and discussing the scope of effort required.
- if you have developed several different features, make sure not to provide one big patch for all of these changes, but instead several smaller ones for each individual feature (likewise, use separate threads on the mailing list as well), that way you will enable developers to easily and independently review/discuss your patches [1].
- Try to make your patch optionally minimally invasive:
- provide compile time switches to generally enable or disable your modifications (i.e. using #ifdefs, autoconf and automake macros) That way, you will ensure that your patch can be easily disabled (excluded from compilation while remaining in the source tree) if it should cause trouble while any issues are addressed. This applies in particular if your patch introduces any extra dependencies (i.e. libraries) or is any way platform specific.
- provide capabilities to enable or disable your code modifications at startup time or even at runtime, using command line options or preferably the PropertyTree/SGPropertyListeners and some simple GUI dialog to enable developers and users to decide whether they want to activate your code. That way, it can be ensured that your code doesn't interfere with any other FlightGear components. This will make potential bug tracking much easier and the chances of your code remaining in the source tree are much better as well.
- if you intend to add new features that may benefit from proper documentation, make sure to also provide patches to the documentation files provided under $FG_SRC/mini-docs and $FG_ROOT/Docs
- Try to carefully document those passages in your source code that:
- are non-obvious or unfinished
- are hackish or workarounds
- use code where you yourself aren't entirely sure if you're doing the right thing
- are known to negatively interfere with other FlightGear code
- seem to affect overall runtime performance of FlightGear
- Try to make sure that your code isn't platform-specific. Hence, it is generally a good idea to make any contributions as cross-platform capable as possible
- If you need to print output to the terminal, make sure to use the SG_LOG logging mechanism, using the appropriate log level. Use this command sparingly, as excessive logging information has negative impact on framerate, especially on some platforms (you can however easily use switches to generally enable/disable output of debugging information). When committing a patch, make sure you have either removed or commented out any cout or cerr statements that you have used during private debugging sessions.
Patch Format
TODO: unified diff vs. tarball (compressed archives)
Howto Create Patches
fg-submit script
As of March 2007, a bash script "fg-submit" is available that simplifies the preparation of patches that are to be submitted for commit. It can be found in '/source/scripts/tools'. It compares your changes to cvs, creates a diff file and an archive containing your changed files and the diff file. Run this script from within the CVS directory containing your changes. It's output will go to that same directory.
fg-submit should work with any flavor of Unix/Linux. Windows users may use this script from within a Cygwin bash shell, assuming the necessary Devel tools have been installed.
$ cd $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/foo

Oceania: Cook Islands through to Under-17 tournament proper
It's been a pretty intense few days in the preliminary round of Oceania's Under-17 Football Championship and there has been no shortage of goals in what's been a very open tournament. Emerging victorious are the Cook Islands whose 2-1 win over host nation Samoa in the last round of matches played today in the Samoan capital city of Apia has won them through to the next stage.
Twenty eight goals were scored in the six games to have been played since Tuesday, an average of just over four and a half a game, and all of them have added to a fascinating competition in which drama was in no short supply. Cook Islands got their tournament off to the best possible start on Tuesday when defeating Tonga 7-1 with six different players getting on the score sheet, Maro Bonsu-Maro being the only player to score two goals. In the derby match, Samoa and American Samoa shared the spoils with a 2-2 draw to leave the Cook Islanders topping the table after matchday one. Things suddenly changed on matchday two when the Cook Islands were overtaken at the top by American Samoa. The latter defeated the former 3-0 with Sinisi Tua bagging a brace. Samoa got the better of Tonga, winning by the odd goal in five with Paulo Scanlan's hat-trick proving crucial in Samoa's 3-2 win.
Going into today's final round of matches three teams – Samoa, American Samoa and Cook Islands – all had the chance to claim the trophy. Tonga, up until now the whipping boys of the group, were in no position to gift their opponents American Samoa the title. American Samoa seemed to be coasting their way to victory when going 2-0 ahead after 48 minutes thanks to goals from Paia Ipiniu and Sinisa Tua but the Tongans were to end up shocking their opponents by turning the match around with three goals in the last nineteen minutes. Uasi Talanoa, Hemaloto Polovili and Taniela Vaka'uta, whose goal came deep into stoppage time, claimed Tonga's first win of the tournament and opened the door for Samoa and Cook Islands to claim the title in the other match.
In another topsy-turvy encounter it was Samoa who took the lead after 23 minutes thanks to Sue Pelesa, an advantage they would see through to half-time. Fifteen minutes into the second half saw the Cook Islands restore parity, Takuina Tararo heading home the equalizer, but they had to wait until four minutes from full-time before they were to score the crucial goal which would eventually clinch the championship. Step forward Dwayne Tiputoa whose late charge saw him slot the ball home and break the hearts of Samoa, for whom a draw would've been enough to give them the title following American Samoa's surprise defeat.
Cook Islands topped the table with six points from three games, both American Samoa and Samoa have four points with the former holding on to second place on goal difference whilst Tonga prop up the rest with three points. The Cook Islands can now prepare for the tournament proper of the OFC under-17 Championship where they face off against seven other nations including the likes of New Zealand, Solomon Islands and hosts Vanuatu from April 17th-27th. The winner of that can then look forward to representing Oceania on the world stage when the FIFA Under-17 World Cup takes place in the United Arab Emirates between October 17th-November 8th.
Oceania: American Samoa fall at final hurdle (+video)
Silao Malo scored the only goal of the game as Samoa defeated their neighbours American Samoa by one goal to nil in the final round of first stage FIFA World Cup qualification matches in the Oceania region.
American Samoa, a team who have become famous for suffering heavy defeats and propping up the FIFA World Rankings in recent years, had captured the hearts and minds of many football fans with their exploits this week. Having defeated Tonga and drawn with Cook Islands in their first two group matches, American Samoa had to defeat Samoa in their final group match in the Samoan capital city of Apia to progress to the second stage of qualifying.
Alas, it proved to be one step too far for American Samoa whose defence allowed Malo to score in the last minute of the game to give Samoa a 1-0 victory and top of the group. Tonga's 2-1 win over the Cook Islands gave them second place in the four team table, just ahead of American Samoa on goal difference, but for many the highlights of the last week have come from American Samoa who can now hope that they will start to rise up the World Rankings very soon. Samoa, on the other hand, will play in the 2012 OFC Nations Cup alongside the likes of New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu in a competition which will also double up as the second stage of qualifying.

Defense comes to Greinke's aid to extend road streak
Righty pitches into seventh as LA wins 15th straight away from home
ST. LOUIS -- The Dodgers' historic road winning streak reached another milestone Monday. With a 3-2 win against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, the Dodgers extended their stretch of wins away from Los Angeles to 15, tying the 1939 Red Sox, '51 White Sox, '53 Yankees and '57 Redlegs (Reds) for the third-longest road win streak in Major League history.
The last time a team won 15 in a row on the road was in 1984, when the Tigers went on to tie the '16 Giants at 17 for the record.
"It was a great crowd tonight, an electric atmosphere," catcher A.J. Ellis said of the 42,464 at Busch Stadium. "I think we kind of thrive on that us-against-the-stadium-type mentality, where we really come together as a ballclub. It really brings out the best in ourselves."
Since June 21, when the Dodgers were a season-worst 12 games under .500, Los Angeles has posted the best record in baseball at 32-7.
"That's something that I think the guys are proud of, I think they should be" manager Don Mattingly said of the road win streak. "It shows that we're getting ready to play and not taking teams for granted."
Starter Zack Greinke put the brakes on a Cardinals offense that erupted for 44 runs in its past four games, earning his 100th career victory. He limited St. Louis to two runs on eight hits and a walk, striking out four in 6 1/3 innings.
"They hit some balls hard. If the wind's not blowing in, they may be home runs in a different game," Greinke said. "Just how things are going, playing good and getting some breaks."
The Cardinals threatened in the fourth, fifth and sixth, but Greinke pitched out of the jams against a club that entered the game batting an MLB-best .339 with runners in scoring position. St. Louis was 1-for-9 in those situations Monday.
"Today on the mound, [Greinke] was just constantly pounding the zone, mixing all his pitches," Ellis said. "That's a great hitting team over there, who's given him trouble in the past. What he did against that team today, espeically with runners in scoring position -- because we know the historic pace they're on -- was the difference in the game."
Greinke was aided by some impressive defensive support. Shortstop Nick Punto had a hand in turning two momentum-shifting double plays, and the Dodgers spoiled all the Cardinals comeback attempts, stranding eight St. Louis runners on base.
In the fifth, with the tying runner on first, David Freese hit a double to right field, which Yasiel Puig barehanded off the wall. He immediately turned and rocketed it to Punto, who then beat Allen Craig home with a toss to catcher A.J. Ellis.
"[Ellis] made it sound like it was an easy play or whatever, but I've seen that play messed up at least 100 times," Greinke said. "It was just a perfect relay and he did a good job tagging. Good all the way around. I thought it was a good decision to send [the runner], just everything had to be right and it was."
"I saw the ball coming out of [Puig's] hand and looked where Allen was and thought he had a real good shot of being safe there," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. "It was a great relay, a great tag. That definitely took some momentum out."
The Cardinals struck first when Matt Carpenter knocked a leadoff double into right field and advanced to third on a fielding error as Puig couldn't come up with the ball. Carpenter beat Punto's toss home when Carlos Beltran hit into a fielder's choice the next at-bat, giving the Cardinals a 1-0 lead that held until the Dodgers put up two in the fourth.
Adam Wainwright walked Adrian Gonzalez to open the frame and then Puig, returning to the lineup after suffering a contusion on his left thumb Saturday, doubled to center. Andre Ethier drove Gonzalez home with a single, and Puig scored when Ellis grounded into a forceout at second.
Greinke padded the lead in the seventh with an RBI single, scoring Punto. The right-hander is now batting .600 in his last seven starts with two doubles, a walk and an RBI. The Cardinals tacked on one more the following frame, but relievers Ronald Belisario and Paco Rodriguez held the Redbirds at bay.
Wainwright exited the game after seven innings, charged with seven hits and three earned runs. The Cardinals ace struck out five batters and walked two, falling short in his third attempt to reach a National League-best 14 wins.
"That's another tough loss. They're playing great ball, obviously," Wainwright said. "They've won 15 straight times on the road. I knew that going in and wanted to end that streak. They were opportunistic tonight and did some good things when they needed to."

UPDATE: Huffington Post, Politico and others have reported that trusty inside guy David Gregory will get the job. The encouraging part of that is Gregory's penchant for ripping various Bush press secretaries a new one. Let's hope he keeps it up on Sunday mornings and doesn't let the format turn him into an establishment grandee. NBC has not yet officially confirmed.
The suits at NBC are doing far more agonizing over who should fill Tim Russert's shoes on Meet the Press than Obama is over appointing his cabinet. They're taking more time over it, too. I guess that's because the president-elect has something the NBC front office doesn't have: self-confidence. Unlike him, they're so terrified of making a mistake they can't make a decision.
That's why they have tortured the long-suffering Tom Brokaw—who has gallantly occupied the transition chair—with a refusal to let him go back to his ranch in Montana and work on a book. Brokaw has done a stately job of holding the show together for the last five months but now that the election's over you can see the boredom flaring from his iconic nostrils as he quizzes Senator Joe Lieberman or former Secretary of State James Baker while he waits for the brass to make up their goddamn minds.
One of the problems for NBC that was showcased during Russert's media version of a state funeral in June is the way the chair of Meet the Press has become above all a Washington social and status position and only secondarily a journalistic assignment. Russert himself was not a journalist. He came from politics. His interviews either promoted his subjects or subjected them to opposition research. He was the Washington élite's staff man, stoking their prejudices, whims, and attitudes. His regular-guy persona flattered the élite by making them imagine they were regular guys too.
There's been an Obama effect in every sphere of business from General Motors to network TV.
Russert's key gotcha device was to produce those laborious read-along quotes chosen to expose the hypocrisy or flip-flopping of whoever was in the hot seat. But did these quotes ever elicit interesting answers? They were always so long the interviewees had time to compose whole paragraph-long rebuttals from their store of mental talking points. Brokaw hasn't retired this device but the next incumbent should.
NBC seems to be paralyzed by the sense that whomever they chose has to be another Russert. Not so. Russert defined an era, but that era is over. It's as if in the months since he died the hands of the clock have spun with accelerated speed, leaving us all with a desire for reinvention. There's been an Obama effect in every sphere of business from General Motors to network TV.
Meet the Press has to change not just the host but the show itself. It may be successful now, but the winds of change could suddenly engulf it as they have the giants of print.
Brokaw's interview yesterday with Laura Bush—flanked as a safety measure by Afghanistan's ambassador to the U.S., Said Jawad—was exhibit A in a form of TV whose day has passed. The only things viewers wanted to know from the First Lady were (a) what medication got her through the last eight years, (b) how it felt being married to a walking catastrophe, and (c) what she really thought about Michelle Obama when she came to the White House. If we really want to know about Afghanistan, is Laura Bush the first name that springs to mind? Wouldn't we rather hear from someone steeped in knowledge of the place who could advance our comprehension?
Anyway, TV isn't about information, it's about character—and characters. Lou Dobbs, your blowhard uncle. Bill O'Reilly, the overbearing bully at the office. Keith Olbermann, the guy who buttonholes you at the bar, makes you laugh, and then goes all serious and sincere on you. The genius of Stephen Colbert is to understand that truth about TV and carry it to its illogical conclusion.
The Meet the Press panel needs fewer David Broders and more Christopher Hitchenses—irresponsible wits who can challenge the B-list senators and warhorse commentators who trundle on and download all that sonorous received wisdom. It needs fewer "Washington insiders" and more genuinely informed outsiders. (Fareed Zakaria last week did an electric interview on his CNN foreign affairs show with the young Brit historian Niall Ferguson on the financial meltdown which was better than any slog round the course with Chris Dodd.) And for the top spot, how about going way outside the box? How about bringing in the cool forensic skills of a David Boies? Or the fresh intelligence of a web star like Josh Marshall or Glenn Greenwald? Or the political/policy smarts of a journalistic intellectual like the Guardian's Michael Tomasky?
Or how about… a woman? Since NBC has not heeded my last suggestion to appoint either the unsung cable Rottweiler Greta Van Susteren or a reinvented, post-Palin Katie Couric, I say give Meet the Press to Rachel Maddow. She's smart. She's quick. She's witty. She does her homework. And she listens to what the person she's talking to is saying. She doesn't just go to the next question on her list.
If Obama is post-racial, Maddow is post-gender—divested of hair-frosted femininity in the anchor genre and more appealing because of it. Like him, she's a calm, unflappable new era phenomenon. Sure, she's a lefty, and in the past week she's been swinging away at Obama's cabinet choices, but I suspect she's ambitious enough to dial it back if she had to. (She also has that weird TV gene that's so hungry for air time she'd probably insist on keeping her five-day job at MSNBC. Russert himself was on every show except Project Runway.)
But maybe this kind of seismic move asks too much of NBC brass. The president-elect himself has gone for retread professionals from the Clinton era to staff his own cabinet, but he appoints them with such firm bravura he makes them seem the obvious choice. Which brings us back again to the NBC standbys whose names keep popping up, people like David Gregory, Andrea Mitchell, and political director Chuck Todd. The rap on the smart, analytical Todd is that he's not enough of a character, but he probably would be over time. As the years went by his goatee would become the characterological equivalent of Russert's extra twenty pounds.
If all else fails and they want to keep it in the family, they can always recruit Alec Baldwin from 30 Rock. He's not completely ignorant of public affairs. He's already in the building. And he's not just a character, he knows how to play one on TV.

'Breaking Bad': How will it end?
It's difficult enough to capture the lightning-in-a-bottle magic required to craft one of the best TV shows ever. But it's an entirely different -- and daunting -- challenge to give said show an ending that meets the amped-up expectations of obsessive fans.
So imagine the pressure felt by "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan and his collaborators as they pondered how to conclude the harrowing journey into hell taken by chemistry teacher-turned-drug lord Walter White (Bryan Cranston).
Succeed and you've heroically preserved your show's legacy. Screw up and you risk completely changing the way viewers think about what came before.
"It was very important to us to end it in a satisfying manner. We had a lot of personal anxiety over it," says Gilligan, who admitted that he second-guessed himself silly during the writing process.
Now, it's out of his hands and up to the fans to render judgment. Beginning Sunday, the last eight episodes of "Breaking Bad" roll out, providing the final chapter in one of prime time's most exalted drama series.
When last seen, Walt had amassed a virtual mountain of meth money and was set to retire. However, there were complications: Walt had become estranged from his longtime partner in crime, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), and his marriage to Skyler (Anna Gunn) was in shambles.
Even more ominous: His brother-in-law, DEA agent Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), had finally figured out that Walt was "Heisenberg" -- the sinister drug kingpin he'd been chasing for so long.
Now, as the saga of Walt's evolution from "Mr. Chips to Scarface," as Gilligan has described it, winds down, plenty of questions remain: Will Walt get away with his murderous deeds? Will he be brought to justice, or even killed? And if he does meet his doom, could it possibly be at the hands of Jesse or Skyler?
Whatever happens, don't expect everyone to "hug it out," as Cranston joked during the recent TV critics press tour. No, if "Breaking Bad" follows the grim and edgy form established over the past six years, it won't be pretty -- or predictable.
But it apparently will move at a faster pace than usual. Sunday's breathtaking episode, titled "Blood Money" and directed by Cranston, jams on the gas pedal right from the start and never lets up. Get used to it. Gilligan has said this last set of tense episodes are packed with several moments that could probably serve as series-enders, though the "best stuff was saved for last."
Of course, the end of "Breaking Bad" means bidding farewell to one of the most distinctive characters ever seen on television. Unlike other renowned antiheroes such as Tony Soprano, Dexter Morgan and Vic Mackey, Walter wasn't
bad from the start. When we first met him in Albuquerque, N.M., he was a depressed, mild-mannered high school instructor stricken with cancer.
Then, he gradually morphed into a ruthless, arrogant monster right before our eyes. It was both unnerving and mesmerizing.
"Just the notion of trying to take a serialized television series and change this character in a way that never had been done before ... I was aghast by that," said Cranston, recalling why he wanted so desperately to play the role that has earned him three Emmy awards.
Once Cranston did step into Walt's shoes, he never discussed with Gilligan where the character would wind up. Like the show's rabid viewers, he just wanted to go along for the ride.
"I never asked. I never wanted to know," he said. "The twists and turns of my character were so sharp that it wouldn't help me to know. So I was just holding on, much like the audience was, almost week to week. I would read a script about five to six days before we shot it, and this (season) was no exception."
Along the way, however, Cranston had plenty of time to consider the nature of good and evil. And he has concluded that there may a bit -- or a lot -- of Walt inside us all.
"In looking into this character and what happens to him and the transformation, I really believe that everybody is capable of good or bad," he said. "We are all human beings. We are all given this spectrum of emotions, as complex as they are, and depending on your influences and your DNA and your parenting and your education and your social environment, the best of you can come out or the worst of you can come out. I think, if given the right set of circumstances, or dire situations, any one of us can become dangerous."
Of course, by now we know Walt broke bad. Extremely bad. But what will be his ultimate fate? After all the second-guessing and neurotic fretting, Gilligan thinks he and his team have crafted a satisfying conclusion.
"I am very proud of the ending. I can't wait for everyone to see it," he said. "I am very cautious in my estimation of, in general, how people will respond to things. I hope I am not wildly wrong in thinking most folks are going to dig the ending."
Count Cranston among those folks.
"I wanted to be the mouthpiece for Vince. I wanted this series to end exactly the way he wanted it to end," he said. "I can stand here now and say that I'm really proud that it has. I think every fan will be satisfied and pleased with the appropriate ending. It's unapologetic and very 'Breaking Bad.' "
'Breaking Bad'
When: 9 p.m. Sunday
Where: AMC
"Breaking Bad" has been so crazy good that it's virtually impossible to single out the five top episodes, but we gave it a shot anyway:
1. "One Minute" (Season 3, Episode 7): Hank beats the heck out of Jesse, who vows revenge. And then Hank nearly meets his doom at the hands of Tuco's insane cousins. It's one of the most intense and memorable climaxes to a TV episode ever.
2. "Crawl Space" (Season 4, Episode 11): Walt is pushed to the absolute brink when Gus threatens his family. As the hour unfolds, the sense of desperation and terror is so palpable that it feels like we're watching a horror flick.
3. "Face Off" (Season 4, Episode 13): It's an explosive ending for one of TV's greatest villains, Gus Fring, and a wickedly brilliant season finale that had us talking for weeks.
4. "Grilled" (Season 2, Episode 2): A harrowing hour for Walt and Jesse, who are abducted by the deranged Tuco and trapped inside the house of his paralyzed uncle, who can only communicate by tapping a hotel-desk bell. Ding. Ding. Ding.
5. "Pilot" (Season 1, Episode 1): We can't leave off the episode that started it all. The tone is set and the imagery is priceless: Walt out in the desert in his tighty-whities. Let the madness begin.

Shackled and in tears, 14-year-old Malak al-Khatib was led out of the Israeli military court at Ofer prison on Thursday to a military vehicle that would escort her to the Hasharon detention center, where she is to serve out a two-month sentence for alleged rock throwing and the possession of a knife.
The eighth grader from the village of Beitin, near Ramallah, has been held in Israeli custody ever since she was detained on 31 December 2014. On Thursday, nearly a month later, she was sentenced to two months in prison and charged with a fine of 6000 shekels ($1523).
"She was leaving school after attending her last exam for the first semester when all of a sudden soldiers jumped at her, handcuffed her hands and took her with them," Ali al-Khatib, Malak's father, told Wafa News Agency.
"When I went to the detention center to see Malak, thinking a misunderstanding must have took place, soldiers told me, 'she is not a child, she scared us and threatened the life of a soldier,'" the girl's father recalled.
Malak is set to serve out her two-month sentence at Israel's Hasharon detention center in the northern West Bank. Her father told local media that she is being held with three other female prisoners, who are taking care of the girl and providing her with emotional support.
Malak al-Khattib is the youngest prisoner currently serving a sentence in Israeli jails. She is one of the 7,000 Palestinian children arrested since the start of the Second Intifada back in September 2000.
According to the rights organization Defense for Children International—Palestine, "Israel is the only state to automatically and systematically prosecute children in military courts that lack basic standards of due process."
A recent report on the arrest of minors put out by the rights group details that "Around 500-700 Palestinian children, some as young as 12, are arrested, detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military detention system each year. The majority of Palestinian child detainees are charged with throwing stones."

Ruh roh. While we're used to hearing Carly Rae Jepsen sing 'Call Me Maybe,' rumor has it she's been doing other things with her cell phone — namely, sending nude pics that ultimately leaked. Yikes! So did the entire Internet see her naked, maybe?
Jepsen, 26, is not the girl in the photos! We don't know when she'd actually have time to take nudes anyway. The girl is too busy flying all over the place recording and promoting her upcoming album and subsequent tour with mentor and boss Justin Bieber. Jepsen recently revealed that the record is due in September. "At this point, my record is almost finished," she said in an interview. "It's pretty close, just wrapping up the loose ends. I feel like the songs are mostly there, but there's still some production and stuff to be done, but we're close. We're at the home stretch."
A girl named Destiny Benedict who sort of looks like Jepsen on her worst day (and if she had some sort of substance abuse issues) is actually the scantily clad Twitter pic poster. (You can see the photos, which are very NSFW, here.) Our pint sized, youthful looking Jepsen is, again, not the nekkid lady. She may sing about having a 'Good Time,' but it's not the kind you'll find scribbled on a bathroom wall.

oh yeah? "duncanb's rating" is like "mr hammers rating" it used to be called that.
I swear I did not know that
Game: Pink TragedyMake: 0MinutesType: PlatformerPre-ThoughtsWell I played total guide first and I expected a long game with loads of puzzles and traps. The thumbnail matched the title and on the thumbnail it showed a bit of action with the turret which makes you want to play as soon as possible.ReviewThis game has amazing gameplay full of action and has a perfect amount of enemies. I would try and add more traps than it had though to make it more challenging.The puzzles were amazing and some were new to me which I always like, it makes me think more of the game and enjoy it more. They were not easy puzzles they were challenging and fun to do. It did not have much traps which I like because you then will not rage quit, but this did not have to many so it was a awesome game.I am glad that this game did not have much enemies because it makes it more interesting. There was some which I think every game should have. But this game was a bit short, well it was a mini game so it was probably meant to be like that. This game did have hazards which he used for puzzles, which is probably that best way to use them and this game uses a lot of hotblocks probably because red is the closest colour to yellow.I was a bit sad because the scenery was not that good I would like more of it. More skulls, grass and maybe a background. Just to give it the finishing touch for an amazing game.The placement was alright I would like some of it to be more harder with placement to make the game more challenging, but other than that the placement was amazing, do you could beat the game.Pros/ConsPros:Gameplay: I loved the game play and this game was action packed.Puzzles: this game was a puzzle game with new and old puzzles that fit into a game.Traps: this game had some but not to many traps.Enemies: this game had a perfect amount of enemies.Hazards: this game only used hazards for puzzles which is good.Cons:Scenery: This game needs to have more decoration.Placement: he could of made it more challenging if he placed it better.RatingsGameplay: 4/5Puzzles: 5/5Traps: 4/5Enemies and hazards: 4.5/5Scenery: 1.5/5Placement: 2/5Overall: 4/5Feature Worthy?I don't think this game is feature worthy because it is not that big and needs better scenery and placement.
I like writing reviews so that is my reviewer app back up
I will write another one now be offline for 5 mins
That's splodeed... many rating centers are called "Whoever's Rating Center". It's not copying. //_-

Born: 1924, Vilna
Describes death march from a labor camp near Stutthof [Interview: 1990]
Lily was forced into a ghetto after the Germans occupied Vilna in 1941. She was forced to work until the liquidation of the ghetto in 1943 when she was deported to the Kaiserwald camp near Riga, Latvia. From there she was sent to work in the Duenawerke labor camp. She was deported by ship across the Baltic Sea to the Stutthof camp and was taken to a nearby labor camp. Lily was liberated during a death march which ended in the town of Krumau, East Prussia, in 1945.

Screening rent-to-own tenants puts landlords in a whole different ballgame from the usual vetting process, says investment expert and Realtor Nick Karadza, a speaker at the upcoming Investor Forum Toronto.
The Early Bird deadline to purchase tickets for the upcoming Investor Forum Toronto is Feb 15 and space is filling up quickly. To reserve your place, please visit www.theinvestorforum.ca
Video transcript below:
Jemima Codrington: Anytime you are selecting tenants, careful screening and due diligence is a huge part of the process. But it's even more important when you are screening for an RTO property because you are also selecting buyers. Crew caught up with Nick Karadza, Investment Consultant and speaker at this year's Toronto Investor Forum to find out how to screen for success.
How is screening for RTO tenants different from regular tenancies?
Nick Karadza: It's really important. I mean it's important in any situation, particularly with rent to own situation because it's less landlord tenant, it's more a partnership with really trying to set them up for success to purchase the property at the end of the program. So there is a stronger bond there and you want to make sure you are establishing that early on in the process to give them the best chance for success if possible and with giving them the best chance for success, you are giving yourself the best chance to enjoy the most profit as possible as well.
Can you give us some insight into what you'll be speaking about at the Investors Forum Toronto?
Nick Karadza: Absolutely. We have had a lot of experience doing Rent to Own properties. We have probably done 500 or 600 of them now with a group of investors that we have worked closely with. So we are going to share lot of the strategies that we have used to really increase the cash fill numbers of Rent to own properties and increase the profit potential. But not only that, we want to dive into a little bit of, "hey here's what the benefits of it, here's what really works, but also here's the challenges, here's the downfalls, here's what you got to really be aware of." So we want to take a look at rent to own investing from both sides of the coin and see if it's a right fit for the investor.
Jemima Codrington: To learn more, book your tickets to the Investor Forum, Toronto today.

At the very end of regulation, with the Kings and Blue Jackets tied, L.A.'s Drew Doughty scored a gamewinner. It went to a video review, and Doughty was credited with a goal with 0.4 seconds remaining. Then they showed the replay, and all hell and confusion broke lose.
The game clock (not a TV graphic, but the actual, official in-rink game clock) pauses with 1.8 seconds left. It stays frozen for 1.3 seconds, then starts up again. Doughty's shot crosses the line at 0.4, or well after the horn should have sounded to send the game to overtime.
Puck Daddy's all over this one, including the super slo-mo breakdown that any good conspiracy theory needs. (The official NHL.com replay begins just as the clock stirs from 1.8, so there's no evidence anything was amiss.) Do clock malfunctions happen? Sure. Are Blue Jackets fans allowed to cry "fix!" when it happens in the waning seconds, giving the home team an extra point? Go nuts.

Advisors are underestimating how much their clients pay them in fees.
A new survey conducted by Peak Advisor Alliance and Cerulli Associates showed that nearly 63% of advisors believe the total amount of fees charged on any given account is less than 1.5% of their investable assets but, in actuality, it's more than that.
When taking into account all fees, including product and platform fees, administrative fees and the advisor fees, the total is more than 30 basis points higher than what advisors think.
"This stat should alarm every advisor and force them to go back and look at how they are presenting their fee structure to clients," said Ron Carson, CEO of Carson Wealth Management Group and founder of the Peak Advisor Alliance, in a statement. "As an industry, we must do a better job of simplifying a complex fee structure so clients understand the value they are receiving when they work with a financial advisor."
According to a 2012 Cerulli Associates survey, 60% of clients do not understand how their financial advisor is charging them.
"It is imperative advisors take the time to have a comprehensive conversation about the fees they are being charged," Carson said. "What fees are being charged is just as important to understand why the fee is being charged as well. Advisors must be transparent about the fee structure with their clients to help build trust early in the relationship."
Carson advised transparency when it comes to fee structures.
"If a client doesn't know or understand the fees they are being charged, they most likely will not ever fully trust their advisor, which can be toxic to the relationship in the long run," he added.
Paul West, managing director for Peak Advisor Alliance, encouraged advisors to be straightforward instead of playing the guessing game.
"Every fund, every platform has different fees they charge, so why shy away from them?" West asked. "Advisors need to stop short-changing themselves and their clients and embrace the fees so clients better understand what services they are being charged for."

Exploring the Mysteries of Black Holes
It's 9:40 p.m., but for physics majors Taylor Hutchison, Francis MacInnis and Raina Musso, the work day is just starting.
The three are working with Mark Bottorff, professor of physics, on an astronomy research project that involves spending several nights a week at Southwestern's Fountainwood Observatory – when the weather permits.
The four are contributing to an international research project that is trying to learn more about the most powerful phenomena in the universe − massive black holes. Black holes live in the center of galaxies and are billions or even trillions of times brighter than the sun.
Researchers at The Ohio State University were lucky enough to be given six months of research time on the Hubble Telescope, which has already provided researchers with a wealth of data about the universe.
While the Hubble Telescope collects light as ultraviolet spectra, researchers at ground-based observatories have been observing the same group of black holes in optical light.They are particularly interested in the light variations produced by material near the black holes. Different sets of images, showing the variations, are compared to help researchers learn more about the shape and movement of the material.
"Understanding this will reveal how these powerful natural engines work," Bottorff says.
Bottorff and his students have been focusing their efforts on three black holes that are located about 250 million light years away from Earth. While these black holes have been studied before, Bottorff says they have never been studied so intensively.
The research telescope at Southwestern is fitted with a camera that can capture the images the telescope finds. These photos can then be analyzed using computer software. Bottorff says he has already sent some data back to the researchers at Ohio State and they were very happy with it.
"We are very lucky to have an observatory on campus where we can get meaningful data," Bottorff says. "Not every liberal arts college has a research telescope."
Bottorff has been making observations for the project since January and was joined by Hutchison, MacInnis and Musso over the summer as part of the SCOPE summer research program at Southwestern.
While the project requires them to be at the observatory until 2:30 or 3 a.m. several nights a week, it hasn't dampened their enthusiasm for astronomy.
"This is definitely something I want to do as a career," Musso says.
Musso, MacInnis and Hutchison all plan to write their physics capstone paper on one of the black holes they have observed.

Flowers positive he tagged Morneau out at plate
Disputed play occurred in fifth inning of Tuesday's White Sox victory
White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers was convinced he tagged out Justin Morneau not once, but twice, in the fifth inning of Chicago's 4-2 win over Minnesota on Tuesday. The replays seemed to back him up, too.
Morneau started the inning with a double and came around as Twins designated hitter Oswaldo Arcia hit a ground-ball single into right field. Alex Rios fielded the ball and made a sharp throw to Flowers in time to make the play.
Flowers sprawled out at home plate, seemingly tagging the sliding Morneau on the shoulder before he touched the plate. Home-plate umpire Jordan Baker initially made no call, so Morneau reached back toward the plate -- when Flowers appeared to tag him again -- and Baker ruled him safe.
"It was a nice slide. Worked in our favor," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said, grinning, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "Saw [Morneau] diving all over the place. Don't think I've seen him hit the ground that many times in a long, long time, so he's feeling really confident, really comfortable."
That pulled the Twins within one run of tying the game, and they tied it in the seventh, before the White Sox pulled away by scoring two runs in the eighth. Jake Peavy, Flowers and manager Robin Ventura all argued against the call to no avail.
"I knew I tagged him the first time," Flowers said after the game. "I look at the umpire and he's not doing anything, so you kind of have two choices. You can either be an idiot and sit there complaining or you can tag the guy again because he's off the plate. He saw the play differently."

We Are The Pigs: Sacraboar Demo
I've been wanting to post about Sacraboar for a while. Because I like its name. Alas, there's been no video to link to and no demo, so little reason to do so other than "Crikey! Nice name, eh?". However, with its release imminent (Steam, Impulse, Gamersgate if you want to pre-order), they've released a demo so people can have a taste of it. You can get it from here. What is it? Well, it's a "real-time capture-the-pig strategy game". The ghost of Psycho Pigs UXB lives. The full thing is actually on our Steam press accounts, but no-one on RPS has had time to have a crack yet – Jim did, but it crashed his PC (Which he thinks is a bad download rather than the game). Impressions will have to wait. But it certainly has a splendid name.
