From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The following is a list of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced between October 11, 1975, and July 31, 1976, the first season of SNL.
A satirical news segment, initially starring Chevy Chase. Debuted October 11, 1975. It is considered the longest running recurring sketch in the show's history. Like the show itself, it has seen many changes over the years and has a revolving door of anchors, such as Bill Murray, Jane Curtin, Dan Aykroyd, Charles Rocket, Gail Matthius, Brian Doyle-Murray, Mary Gross, Christine Ebersole, Brad Hall, Christopher Guest, Dennis Miller, Kevin Nealon, Norm MacDonald, Colin Quinn, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler, and Seth Meyers.
The Killer Bees were the first characters to recur on SNL. According to a Lorne Michaels interview for the book Live From New York, "The only note we got from the network on the first show was 'Cut the bees.' And so I made sure I put them in the next show." The bees were played by all the repertory players at the time, who wore yellow and black horizontal stripes, wings, and overly springy antennae. Much of the humor from these scenes came out of puns or metaphors that had to do with well-known activities and body parts of bees.
The bees were a staple of the first season, appearing 11 times. However, the cast and crew quickly tired of them, and the Bees only appeared 3 further times during the original cast's five-year tenure.
The Land of Gorch was a puppet sketch starring Jim Henson's Muppets. Lorne Michaels described the characters as the type of Muppets that can stay up late. Debuted October 11, 1975.
Chevy Chase plays a shark attempting to lure his way into a victim's home. Debuted November 8, 1975.
A Laraine Newman sketch. Debuted November 15, 1975.
Dan Aykroyd is a crime scene photographer who gives the audience a list of clues and 60 seconds to solve a mystery. Debuted November 15, 1975.
Emily Litella was an elderly woman with a hearing problem, played by Gilda Radner in the late 1970s. She would frequently rant about topics about which she had misread or misheard, such as "Violins on Television," "Canker Research," "Endangered Feces," or "Presidential Erections." (To satisfy the censors at the time, Litella was made to explicitly state that she was referring to erecting statues of presidents.) Her catchphrase was "Never mind!", said after she was informed of her mistake.
John Belushi plays a samurai warrior. Debuted December 13, 1975.
A steakhouse commercial parody featuring Dan Aykroyd. Debuted December 20, 1975.
Michael O'Donoghue would tell children's bedtime stories with increasingly horrific, nightmarish twists. Debuted January 17, 1976.
A John Belushi sketch. Debuted January 24, 1976.
A John Belushi sketch. As Lowell Brock (not to be confused with his competitor at H&R Block, he gives reasons why he should do your taxes. He'll take the time . . because he has the time . . because he's doing time. Debuted January 31, 1976.[1]
Mr. Bill is the clay figurine star of a parody of children's shows.
Mr. Bill got its start when Walter Williams sent SNL a Super-8 reel featuring the character in response to the show's request for home movies during the first season. Mr. Bill's first appearance occurred on the February 28, 1976 episode. Williams became a full-time writer for the show in 1978, writing more than 20 sketches based on Mr. Bill.
Each Mr. Bill episode would start innocently enough but would quickly turn dangerous for Mr. Bill. Along with his dog, Spot, he would suffer various indignities inflicted by "Mr. Hands," a man seen only as a pair of hands (played by Vance DeGeneres).[2]
The character's popularity spawned the 1986 live-action movie Mr. Bill's Real Life Adventures.
Gilda Radner impersonates journalist Barbara Walters. Debuted April 24, 1976.
Laraine Newman impersonates film writer and director Lina Wertmüller. Debuted May 22, 1976.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Cardinals interview former Eagles DC Juan Castillo
The Arizona Cardinals may not have a coach, but apparently that won't stop them from interviewing potential assistants.
According to CBS NFL insider Jason La Canfora, the team has checked in with former Eagles defensive coordinator and offensive line coach Juan Castillo.
Former Eagles OL coach/DC Juan Castillo interviewing with the Cardinals. Would imagine its for the OL spot vacated by Russ Grimm
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 9, 2013
Castillo was the Eagles' offensive line coach from 1998-2010, when he was moved into the defensive coordinator position. He was fired from that post in October 2012, though.
La Canfora notes the Cardinals' interest would likely be for his work with offensive linemen, as that is an area the team has struggled with for the better part of forever.
However, that they would be looking to add to the coaching staff without having a coach on board yet would seem like a questionable move.

Reports in the British Press have claimed that Manchester United have made an improved offer for Cesc Fabregas.
The Premier League champions came in for the Barcelona midfielder last week, but their €30m bid was rejected by the Blaugrana.
However, Sky Sports believe that David Moyes' men have come back in with an offer of €33m plus 'add-ons'.
The Camp Nou club's Vice-President Josep Maria Bartomeu has previously insisted that Fabregas is not for sale.

- Band Name: Ghostface Killah
- Record Label: Def Jam
- Release Date: Sep 29, 2009
- Summary: This Wu-Tang Clan member's latest album features John Legend, Fabolous, Raheem DeVaughn, Lloyd, and Estelle as guest singers.
- Record Label: Def Jam
- Genre(s): Rap, R&B
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 13
Mixed: 3 out of 13
Negative: 2 out of 13
This is essentially an R&B record with Ghostface sounding a bit like Barry White on a bender. Tracks such as 'Let's Stop Playin',' featuring a typically lush John Legend, are very good, with Ghost's lyrical skills as fluid as the track he rhymes over.
It's clairvoyantly obvious that Ghostface Killah's ideas are abound. Forever flourishing, there is so much to love about an album as playfully awesome as this one.
Can the silliest album of the year also be the smartest and the sexiest?
Even the raw stuff has the humanizing detail that keeps Ghost interesting years after we've grown accustomed to his imagesplaying Joycean flow.
More or less, Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City manages to strike a balance between both his personas: the violent, self-indulgent Shaky Dog of early Wu Tang, and the at once more humorous and reflective Ghost of more recent years.
It's hard not to inflate the rating of a record with some truly incredible joints, yet it's difficult to ignore the two-thirds filler combined with Ghostface's least complicated rhymes in years.
This project was D.O.A. from the moment Ghost announced it a year back, and hip-hop fans should consider themselves lucky that there's at least a few salvageable moments in Wizard of Poetry.

Northwestern Wildcats (13-7)
@Minnesota Golden Gophers (16-4)
Wednesday, January 26
Williams Arena
Attendance: 14,625
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Blake Hoffarber posted 20 points as No. 16 Minnesota downed Northwestern, 81-70, at Williams Arena.
Trevor Mbakwe added 18 points with a game-best 14 rebounds for the Gophers (16-4, 5-3 Big Ten), who won their fourth straight contest.
"We beat a good Northwestern team," said Minnesota head coach Tubby Smith. "They had some foul trouble. I think we did a good job, especially on our front line. Ralph (Sampson), Trevor (Mbakwe), and Colton (Iverson) were outstanding, especially getting the ball inside and finishing."
Michael Thompson poured in 18 points and seven assists for the Wildcats (13-7, 3-6), who have dropped two in a row. John Shurna had 16 points with eight boards and Drew Crawford scored 15 in defeat.
Minnesota led by as many as 13 points in the first half, at 27-14 on an Austin Hollins bucket, but Northwestern clawed back to take a 34-33 edge at the break.
The Gophers turned around and seized control early in the second half, taking a 53-42 edge a little more than 6 1/2 minutes in after Mbakwe hit 1-of-2 from the line.
The Wildcats closed within 53-48 on a Crawford trey with 11:32 to go, but the home team ripped off a 17-10 burst to move ahead by a 70-58 count with 4:46 remaining and coasted the rest of the way.
"We got off to such a bad start and they got off to such a good start and we just weren't able to stop them," said Northwestern head coach Bill Carmody.

The official news service of the Seventh-day Adventist world church
Michael, left, and Lindy Chamberlain leave a courthouse in Alice Springs, Australia, in 1982. A coroner found Tuesday, June 12, 2012, that a dingo took the Chamberlain's baby who vanished in the Australian Outback more than 32 years ago in a notorious case that split the nation over suspicions that the infant was murdered. [Associated Press file photo]
James Standish
"You baby killer!" yelled the schoolboys at Julie as she walked to her Adventist School in Strathfeild in 1980. She ignored the taunts as she'd done every day since the Chamberlain case broke sensationally in the tabloids. But this time, as she walked, a half-full can of Fanta hurled by her head as the boys cheered.
Julie wasn't alone. Many Australian Adventists of the period have stories of harassment, from prank phone calls to public abuse. The hatred that underpinned the anti-Adventist bigotry was more than uncomfortable; it likely influenced the decision to prosecute the Chamberlains and the subsequent miscarriage of justice.
As we go through the process of healing the scars from that period, it's incumbent on us to evaluate carefully what we've learned about our national vulnerabilities in the process, as well as what we still need to learn.
What is particularly surprising about the anti-Adventist bigotry of the period is that it happened at all. Australia is, after all, one of the most diverse and tolerant societies in the world. We look at attacks on minorities around the world and shake our heads. The brutality, the tribalism, the ignorance and the scapegoating that undergirds the hatred spewed at minorities from 1930s Europe to modern-day Iran seems entirely remote and foreign to us. And if you had to pick an innocuous faith community, it would have to be the vegetarian, noncombatant, healthcare providing, granola-making and education-cherishing Adventists who had a century's worth of contributing to Australian society by the time the Chamberlain case broke. Wendy Harmer, the prominent comedian, graciously apologized on Tuesday for her role in promoting bigotry, noting that "such was the firestorm of hatred, all rationality was lost." So let's stand guard of ourselves. Because if there's one thing we can know with certainty, there will be another firestorm of hatred against another Australian community sooner or later. And unless we have the character and the courage to stand up against it, the results will once again be terrifying. Next time around, as a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, I want to be there standing arm in arm with whoever is targeted, defending them, and in the process, defending what is best in our ideals and our national character.
If anyone could be safe anywhere, it would have to be a peaceful faith community with a long history and deep roots in a tolerant and progressive society.
And yet in our society, in our lifetimes, the tabloid press used the most debased and defamatory claims to whip up intense hatred of Adventist Christians. And this let lose the inner demons of many Australians. When Lindy Chamberlain was sentenced to a lifetime of hard labor three decades ago, it's reported that cheers were heard from pubs all over Darwin. It's chilling. But it happened. That is the result of hate filled propaganda mixed with a mob mentality, even in an enlightened society in modern times.
The most profound lesson we can learn from the Chamberlain case has nothing to do with dingoes or even the flaws in our justice system. The most profound lesson is something that we've learned about ourselves: we now know we can be turned into lynch mobs as easily as any other society at any other time.
—James Standish is the Communication director for the Adventist Church's South Pacific Division, based in Wahroonga, near Sydney. He previously served as secretary of the United Nations NGO Committee on Freedom of Religion and received an award from the American Sikh community for defending civil rights in the wake of 9/11.

I remember reading that the walther pps had an issue with the interchangeable back straps popping off randomly or if the gun were to be dropped.
This in turn would cause the mainspring to go flying and render the gun useless. To me this seems a bit odd and hard to believe that walther would design a gun with such a flaw in it.
So being I've never shot or owned on of these guns,I'd appreciate it if anyone could confirm this or debunk it. For the pps owners here how reliable are these guns,and do they have any issues or bugs that have been worked out by now?

Cranes stay unbeaten, beat Brother Rice 4-3 in game played at Comerica Park
By Mike Moore email@example.com Follow Mike on Twitter.
DETROIT — With stadium lights beaming,and a city skyline emerging from the dark, the Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood and Birmingham Brother Rice hockey team did what they've done countless times before.
Only this was unlike anything they've ever known.
"This was pretty cool," Cranbrook coach Andy Weidenbach said after his team beat Rice 4-3 Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park in a Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League showdown. "The backdrop of the city behind us, to be on the field at Comerica Park, it's one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities."
"Just fantastic," Rice coach Lou Schmidt Jr. said. "Who knows if you ever get a chance to do something like this again."
Rice and C-K were part of a series of games being held all week at Comerica, leading up to the Hockeytown Winter Festival, which starts Dec. 27.
But the greatest show this night was a Cranes team that has yet to lose this winter.
"You know, we've heard they're the best team in the state," Schmidt said with a smile. "They sure are good."
Noah Gilreath started the scoring, giving the Cranes a 1-0 lead less than four minutes into the first period.
An early goal in the opening minutes of the second by Rice's Nick Bowman tied the game momentarily, but C-K stuck right back — twice.
CJ Regula gave the Cranes a 2-1 lead with 9:24 remaining in the second, and then Austin Alger made it 3-1 with 4:29 to play in the frame.
Rice closed the gap to 3-2 early in the third when Brendan Pyc scored 1:56 into the period, but a wrist shot from the left wing by Sam Miletic put Cranbrook up by two again with 7:53 remaining, and seemed to deflate any comeback hopes for Rice.
"That was big for us," Weidenbach said of the two-goal leads. "Against a good team, to have that cushion makes things just a little easier. But when they pulled their goalie, we knew anything could happen."
Rice pulled within one when Nick Rosa scored with just 24 seconds remaining in regulation, but the Warriors never seriously threatened again.
"This was two good teams that I thought played a pretty good game," Schmidt said. "The difference was our mistakes. We made a few too many of them, and Cranbrook is so skilled that when you do that, they pounce on them. … Falling behind by two goals twice was really tough. Especially the fourth goal, that's one we'd like to have back."
Rice out-shot C-K 27-23, but Austin Movinski was up to the task, finishing with 24 saves while running his record to 4-0-0 on the year.
The weather was perfect, and the ice was bad," Schmidt said with a laugh. "But it was equally bad for both teams. It was something I think we all adjusted to."
Cranbrook, the defending Division 3 state champ, is now 10-0-0 on the season and 4-0-0 in North Division play.
Rice, 4-3-0, falls to 2-2-0 in the North.

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH -- Winning a career-best five straight starts might not be enough for Kevin Correia to keep his spot in the Pittsburgh Pirates' starting rotation.
Correia gave up two runs and four hits in six innings, helping Pittsburgh beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 and avoid getting swept at home from the first time since Sept. 9-11 against the Marlins."Kevin is a grinder," Pirates second baseman Neil Walker said. "The way he pitched today is the way he always pitches. He doesn't overpower anyone, but he just keeps battling and battling and he gave us a chance to beat a very good pitcher."Garrett Jones drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out double in the sixth inning. Walker and Michael McKenry homered for Pittsburgh.Ryan Dempster (5-5) lost in what might his last start for Chicago, allowing three runs and five hits with in six innings with six strikeouts and no walks. Dempster said he is mulling a decision to accept a trade to Atlanta and is also "keeping all my options open."Chicago is off Thursday, and Dempster said he'll spend part of the day thinking about his situation. He has the right to veto any trade as a 10-and-5 player -- at least 10 years of major-league service time, including at least five with his current team.The deadline for trades without waivers is Tuesday."I'm definitely going to think about Atlanta," Dempster said. "I know (Braves GM) Frank Wren from my days in Florida, when he was the assistant GM there. I have a lot of respect for (manager) Fredi Gonzalez. I don't know what I'm going to do. I have a few days to think about it before the trading deadline."His ERA, which had been a major league-leading 2.11, rose to 2.25.Despite his winning streak, Correia (8-6) has a 4.82 ERA in his last five starts and is a candidate to be moved to the bullpen following the acquisition of left-hander Wandy Rodriguez from Houston on Tuesday. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said before the game that he might also consider going to a six-man rotation, at least temporarily."We acquired a very good pitcher who is going to help us," Correia said. "Somebody is going to have to come out of the rotation. I thought about it a lot last night, but it wasn't on my mind when I took the mound. I just tried to do the best I could to help the team win and the decisions about the rotation are out of my hands."Relievers Jared Hughes, Jason Grilli and Joel Hanrahan followed Correia with one scoreless inning each. Hanrahan recorded his 29th save in 32 chances."That back end of the bullpen is as good as it gets," Chicago manager Dale Sveum said.Pittsburgh entered the day leading the NL wild-card standings, and was 2½ games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central.The Pirates pulled ahead 3-2 in the sixth inning when Jones lined a double that scored Alex Presley, who singled with one out and took third on Andrew McCutchen's single."That was a good piece of hitting by Jones, because I threw a pitch that was really down and he went down and got it," Dempster said.Dempster threw a water cooler in the Cubs' dugout after being lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh. He said his brief outburst was not partially a byproduct of the trade talk but came out of frustration over leaving the game."I have a lot of respect for (Sveum) but I don't always have to agree with every move he makes," Dempster said. "I'm allowed to be upset, but I was over it as soon as I got to the clubhouse."Both teams hit solo home runs in the first. Anthony Rizzo connected for his fifth with two outs for Chicago and Walker countered with his ninth in the bottom half.The Cubs went back ahead in the fourth as Rizzo singled in David DeJesus, who had doubled, with two outs. The umpires upheld their ruling on DeJesus' double after a video review showed a fan had touched the ball before it went over the center-field fence.Pittsburgh tied the score when McKenry hit a two-out solo homer off the left-field foul pole in the sixth. Dempster retired 13 batters in a row between the home runs by Walker and McKenry."We're a very resilient team," McKenry said. "Dempster was pitching great but we found a way to come back and beat him. It was a really good win for us."Game notes
Chicago LF Alfonso Soriano got the day off after going 4-for-8 with two home runs and four RBIs in the first two games of the series. ... Rodriguez is expected to join the Pirates on Thursday in Houston when they open a four-game series against the Astros. Rodriguez pitched Monday night against Cincinnati, so the earliest he would likely be able to pitch is Saturday. ... RHP A.J. Burnett (11-3, 3.59) is scheduled to start for the Pirates on Thursday night against LHP Dallas Keuchel (1-2, 4.03). ... Chicago opens a three-game series Friday against St. Louis. LHP Travis Wood (4-5, 4.33) is the probable starter for the Cubs and will face RHP Lance Lynn (12-4, 3.10).

The idea caught on. The Senate held a hearing in March 2012 and Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," among others, covered it. The House did not take up the proposal, but the veteran House chair who punted on holding a hearing on the measure was narrowly defeated in November by a Democratic challenger who campaigned on "no budget, no pay."
In January, House Republicans included a revised version of the measure as a sweetener in the debt-ceiling deal that suspended enforcement of the $16.4 trillion limit through May 19. The No Budget, No Pay Act passed Jan. 23 on a bipartisan vote, 285 to 144. The Senate passed the House bill on Jan. 31.
Now, if the House or Senate fails to pass its own budget resolution by April 15, pay for members will be held in an escrow account until (1) a budget is passed, or (2) the end of the 113th Congress in December 2014.
Senate Republicans say that's the reason that Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada gave the nod to the Budget Committee to mark up a budget this week and take it to the floor.
" 'No budget, no pay' made so much sense, they just couldn't think of an argument against it," says Sen. John Cornyn (R) of Texas. Senate Democrats dispute that view. (See No. 3.)

Clashes with rebels kill 13 in Kashmir
SRINAGAR, India - A series of rebel bomb attacks and gunfights with security forces in the Indian portion of Kashmir on Wednesday left at least 13 people dead and dozens injured, officials said. In the largest attack, suspected insurgents triggered a small explosion that detonated a larger bomb in an abandoned car on a busy street in Srinagar, the summer capital of India's Jammu-Kashmir state, said Hari Lal, an officer of the Central Reserve Police Force. The blasts left three soldiers and three civilians dead and wounded 40 others, Lal said. The explosions shattered windows at dozens of nearby buildings. Authorities said that nearly 160 rebels, including 38 commanders, have been killed in the Indian portion of Kashmir since January. Police find charred remains after hunt for missing kids MOSCOW - Police believe the charred remains of several children found in a Siberian city may be the bodies of five boys who went missing in April, sparking a massive three-week search, a regional prosecutor said Wednesday. The bodies were found about a mile from the boys' homes on the outskirts of Krasnoyarsk, about 2,100 miles east of Moscow, police said. Investigators did not detect any signs of violent death and said the children may have died from an accidental fire, the Internet news Web site Gazeta.ru reported. Blair urges Labour unity after elections LONDON - Tony Blair urged his Labour Party to unite Wednesday, reassuring lawmakers he would resign before the next election and confronting critics who blame him for a disappointingly slim margin of victory. The closed-door meeting was Blair's first battle with party rebels since last Thursday's election, when an apparent voter backlash over the Iraq war reduced Labour's majority in the 646-seat House of Commons from 161 to 67. In a political culture where the gentlemanly exit is not inconceivable, many are now asking not whether Blair will hand over the reins to his powerful and popular Finance Minister Gordon Brown, but when. ''He has to give us a timetable,'' said Labour rebel Glenda Jackson. Pope warming up to his role with public VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI signed autographs, kissed children and shook the hands of hundreds of pilgrims Wednesday as his latest weekly audience found him warming up to his new role as pastor of the world's Roman Catholics. Thousands turned out in St. Peter's Square on a warm, sunny day for the third general audience of his papacy following his election April 19. The pope also blessed the sick, then waved to the crowd as he took a spin through the square in an opened-topped vehicle after delivering a homily that offered ''fear of God'' as an antidote to the world's ills. Iraqi insurgents unleash deadly bombings, attacks BAGHDAD, Iraq - Suicide bombs ripped through a crowded market and a line of security force recruits Wednesday as a wave of explosions and gunfire across Iraq killed at least 69 people - pushing the death toll from insurgent violence to more than 400 in less than two weeks. The bloody attacks, which also wounded 160 people, came despite a major U.S. offensive targeting followers of Iraq's most-wanted terrorist near the Syrian border, a remote desert region believed to be a staging ground for some of the insurgents' deadliest assaults. The day's events underscored how intense the fight for Iraq's future has become in the scant three months since Iraqis voted in the country's first democratic elections and more than two years since the United States declared the end of major combat. Insurgents averaged about 70 attacks a day at the start of May, up from 30 to 40 in February and March, said Lt. Col. Steven Boylan, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq. Grenade discovery during Bush visit sets off speculation TBILISI, Georgia - Was it a bid to undermine a visit by President Bush - or evidence of a real assassination plot? A grenade found near a stage where Bush addressed crowds of Georgians on Tuesday has set off a flurry of speculation. The array of potential culprits - from disgruntled Georgians to local minorities and even Russian saboteurs - reflects the instability of a volatile country struggling through transition. The address to tens of thousands of people in Tbilisi's Freedom Square was the centerpiece of a Bush visit choreographed to cement relations between the United States and the ex-Soviet republic's new pro-Western leadership. National Security Council chief Gela Bezhuashvili said Wednesday he suspected the grenade, which he described as inactive, was planted in a deliberate bid to undermine the rosy scenario. - From wire reportsMore like this story

Vinyl chloride & plastic odor exposure health effects: This article (part 3) discusses possible health effects of exposure to plastic or vinyl odors and outgassing in building interiors and gives references to more scholarly information sources. This article also discussed the health hazards from general exposure to burned plastics or plastic odors. To improve clarity and provide public information we include here information from several US government sources including the US EPA and the US ATSDR, Department of health and Human Services, Agency for Toxic substances and Disease Registry. Our page top photo shows our client pointing to a window where occupants suspected an unpleasant "plastic" odor was originating. But notice that this is an older wooden sash. Also notice those vinyl plastic curtains on either side of the window? Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Health Effects of Exposure to General "Plastic" Odors or "Vinyl" Odors in the HomeA single small exposure [to vinyl chloride] from which a person recovers quickly is unlikely to cause delayed or long-term effects. Exposure to vinyl chloride over many years can affect the liver, nervous system, and skin. Long-term exposure can cause a rare form of liver cancer. Article contents
There is no antidote for vinyl chloride, but its effects can be treated and most exposed persons recover completely. Persons who have inhaled large amounts of vinyl chloride might need to be hospitalized.-- ATSDR
Acute Exposure Exposure to Vinyl ChlorideVinyl chloride is thought to depress the CNS via a solvent effect on lipids and protein components of neural membranes that interrupts signal transmission. Reactive metabolic intermediates may also cause specific target organ toxicity by covalently bonding to tissue or initiating destructive chain reactions such as lipid peroxidation. There may be a latent period of hours to days between exposure and symptom onset. Vinyl chloride is rapidly metabolized and the metabolites are eliminated in the urine. Children do not always respond to chemicals in the same way that adults do. Different protocols for managing their care may be needed.-- ATSDR Chronic Exposure to Vinyl ChlorideProlonged absorption of vinyl chloride can induce hepatotoxicity and hepatic cancers, including angiosarcoma. Portal hypertension and cirrhosis can occur. Vinyl chloride toxicity is thought to result from the binding of reactive epoxide metabolites to hepatic DNA. Other effects of chronic exposure include sensory-motor polyneuropathy; pyramidal, extrapyramidal, and cerebellar abnormalities; neuropsychiatric symptoms such as sleep disorders, loss of libido, headaches, and irritability; EEG alterations; and immunopathologic phenomena such as purpura and thrombocytopenia. Vinyl chloride disease is a syndrome consisting of Raynaud's phenomenon, acroosteolysis (dissolution of the bones of the terminal phalanges and sacroiliac joints), and scleroderma-like skin changes.-- ATSDR Vinyl Chloride Exposure - Additional OpinionsThe following opinion is not part of the original US EPA Article on vinyl chloride odors, exposure, and hazards shown above. The jury may be out on the question of health effects of residential exposure to various smells and odors such as the "plastic smell" we discuss Plastics are used in an enormous range of building materials and consumer products, and plastics vary widely in their properties, chemical composition, tendency to give off gases, smells, odors, and in possible health concern. One of the plastics that has received a lot of study are those using vinyl chloride. This product might be present in some common building products such as vinyl siding and vinyl windows or screens. The US EPA has classified vinyl chloride as a Group A, human carcinogen. Vinyl chloride might be present in gas form as a colorless, flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor at levels of about 3000 ppm (the odor detection threshold). Vinyl chloride hazards are discussed Because people's sensitivity to smells and odors varies widely, as does their individual health, genetics, and vulnerability, we do not offer an opinion about the actual level of risk associated with odors that individuals perceive in a building. When readers discuss exposure to various sources of odors, some of which might be unsafe, we
With many substances, people are able to detect by smell a substance at very low actual concentrations. It is possible that people detect smells or odors at levels well below currently-established levels of hazard, even if risk levels have been established for the particular chemical or chemical group. Where chemical or plastic smells are observed in a building, many readers and some experts take an approach of prudent avoidance that includes identifying and correcting the odor source and improving indoor air quality with introduction of outdoor fresh air when that is practical. Where serious illness or major expenses are involved with exposure to a particular indoor gas or odor, expert inspection and tests can be performed by various building experts including environmental inspectors and industrial hygienists. We advise against simple "air tests" alone as without a diagnostic inspection, even if a troublesome level of exposure is detected the building owners or occupants may be left without an actual plan of action. Vinyl Chloride (CHCl) Patient Information Sheet - ATSDRThis handout, provided by ATSDR provides information and follow-up instructions for persons who have been exposed to vinyl chloride. What is vinyl chloride?Vinyl chloride is a colorless gas at room temperature that has a mild, sweet odor. It is handled and shipped as a liquid under high pressure in a special container. It is used to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a plastic material used to make many products, including automotive parts, furniture, and building materials. What immediate health effects can be caused by exposure to vinyl chloride?Inhaling vinyl chloride causes sleepiness and dizziness, and can cause loss of consciousness. If pressurized liquid vinyl chloride escapes from its container and comes in contact with the skin or eyes, it can cause frostbite or irritation. Can vinyl chloride poisoning be treated?There is no antidote for vinyl chloride, but its effects can be treated and most exposed persons recover completely. Persons who have inhaled large amounts of vinyl chloride might need to be hospitalized. Are any future health effects likely to occur?A single small exposure from which a person recovers quickly is unlikely to cause delayed or long-term effects. Exposure to vinyl chloride over many years can affect the liver, nervous system, and skin. Long-term exposure can cause a rare form of liver cancer. What tests can be done if a person has been exposed to vinyl chloride?Specific tests for the presence of vinyl chloride in the breath or breakdown products in the urine are available, but they must be performed shortly after exposure and are not generally helpful.

There are black handles on this pot which are good in the oven to 350 degrees. We left the house and came home 2 hours later to a strong burning smell in the house. The oven had pf in the control window which stands for program failure. The black handles looked as though they had been burnt. We opened the windows and turned the whole house fan on to ventilate. The odor has decreased but is still here three days later. Do you know if this is a health hazard? Thanks. - B.VSN 1/23/2014 Reply: the effects of burned plastic products in indoor air, in building fires, or in the atmosphereI do not know and no one should assert that there is a health hazard from a smell in a building based on only an email exchange - as there is too much at risk: your health, your money for two. For working purposes I am guessing that the plastic handles on your pot were a form of bakelite or similar plastic. As Sylvester-Bradley point out in an article focused principally on PVC risks, Really?: from simply an email report and without actual expert assessment, one does not know the level nor exposure level of building occupants to this burned plastic odor contaminant and thus cannot reliably assess the actual risk.( Some of the sources cited below will surely recommend prudent avoidance. ) Often when there has been a fire of any sort in a building - burned pot or otherwise - the odors are absorbed by soft goods (carpets, curtains etc) that can be cleaned. If airing out the building is not enough you might want to see

text: @SailorJerry - I don't suppose you're an artist? Supposedly it's an advantage for an artist to have monocular vision. I took art lessons when I was a kid and we used to shut one eye sometimes when we were painting. But for the life of me, I don't remember now why it was. There was something quite technical about it.


text: Today is the 89th anniversary of the first wireless facsimile transmission across the Atlantic Ocean, and we know what you're thinking: So? In the era of text-messaging and email attachments, the notion of converting a written message on a piece of paper into an electronic signal, transmitting it, and then reproducing it on another piece of paper seems, well, adorably quaint. But rest assured that in 1921, when the idea of sending an image through the air to a distant recipient still seemed like something out of Jules Verne, this seemed like a big deal. An article in the New York Times, in fact, hailed the transmission as an "epoch-making achievement," though that hyperbole may have had something to do with the fact that it was C.V. Van Anda, the Times' managing editor, who authored the handwritten missive transmitted from Annapolis, MD to Malmaison, France. The facsimile was sent via a device called the Belinograph, after its inventor, French scientist Edouard Belin, which rolled the document onto a cylinder and exposed it to a beam of light, when then triggered a photoelectric cell that converted the reflected energy (or in dark areas, the relative lack of it) into transmittable electrical impulses. The Times article didn't disclose the contents of the message, but we suspect it had something to do with amazing discounts on three-day vacation packages to Orlando. And with that, here are the MySci stories of the day:

The Antibiotics Crisis
Often patients will say "I don't like to take antibiotics" or you hear stories about parents having certain religious or philosophical beliefs about their children taking antibiotics. There are times in medicine when antibiotics are absolutely necessary and there are times when they are absolutely unnecessary. As physicians, sometimes we have that delicate balance between doing a patient what we think is right cataract versus weight-bear strong opinions may be from knowledge gained from family members, coworkers or off the Internet. Some of this knowledge is in fact, incorrect. However, without antibiotics modern medicine would not be possible. The types of complex surgeries performed and treatment of devastating injuries from the workplace or on the battlefield would not be possible without antibiotics to "back us up". Read more →

My first bed shipment was damaged so it was immediately returned on the delivery truck. The next one came a few weeks later, but after inspecting everything, it was missing the headboard. Everything was in very good condition and after I had all the parts, I was able to assemble it in a few hours. It really looks great and has a very masculine, rich look to it. The fact that the whole mattress and platform raise up on hydraulics is such a unique, space saving quality of the bed. It lifts very easily and the mattress has just enough weight on it to keep it down in place. I was wondering if the inside would be finished or if the items put inside would have to be on the floor, but it is finished in material-covered wood all the sides and bottom. The one thing I did not find out before I ordered it and was ignorant of, was the fact that bicast leather is not really all leather. Bicast leather (also known as bycast leather or PU leather) is a synthetic upholstery product consisting of a thick polyurethane layer applied to a leather or reconstituted leather substrate. It is commonly found in inexpensive furniture. Bi-cast is to natural leather what particle board is to hardwood. Some manufacturers use the bycast treatment to process their leather, which provides a smooth, shiny finish as well as protection to the leather. Because bicast leather is fundamentally a man-made product, some jurisdictions (such as New Zealand and the United Kingdom) have ruled that it cannot be marketed as leather. If this material was on a chair, then I don't think I would buy it after reading about its shorter wearability life. Overall though, I don't think this is a problem with this bed or any other for that fact since you do not usually come in contact with the leather areas.
Just purchased this bed and its the best bed EVER. The bed is made from quality leather and has good weight, its not flimsy or cheap. Assembly takes a little time, but I was determined to do it in one night and I did. Overstock shipped itn from warehouse within 5 days of my order being placed, I rec'd the bed 4 days later.
I have had this bed for a couple years now and I still love it. Very high quality, timely shipping after order, delivery men were considerate and helpful. Great leather and rich color. Good storage space below bed and easy to move up and down. So far no problems. The only reason why I have it 4 stars was because it was a little hard to put together. Took awhile to get the hydraulics to work, I almost thought one was broken. You will definitely need two people who are handy with instructions and 2-4 hours. Also it is VERY heavy! I don't recommend this bed to someone who moves around a lot or who will have to have this moved up or down a narrow staircase. It is very comfy though and I love not having to buy a mattress set. Since this is a platform bed all you need is the mattress, no boxspring!
My husband and I bought this bed nearly a year ago and honestly we couldn't be happier. Just like nearly everybody else our bed came in 4 huge dirty beaten boxes, but nothing was damaged so we were happy. The delivery people did rush us a bit while we inspected the bed. The boxes really are huge (we got a king) so I would recommend having somebody strong to help you get it to your room and set up. Set up was ok, the instructions weren't great, but we managed in a couple hours to get it all set up. We love the storage (since we live in a town-home) and it is constantly filled with clothes, books, linens etc. Another great thing is that, if we don't mention it, people don't even realize that it is a storage bed! Everybody loves it though and comments on how nice and classy looking our bed is. Our bed comes to about mid thigh on me (and I'm 5'7) and we have a 21" mattress, so it's totally reasonable height-wise.One thing to note, the picture looks like there are two metal handles at the foot of the bed (which I was wary about) however, our bed came with two leather straps to pull the bed up and down which we can tuck in and aren't visible at all.Overall, we absolutely love it and show it off every time people come over!
We love this bed. The leather is beautiful. We actually hired someone to assemble but he had no problems doing so. The lifting mechanism is effortless and so much storage. We bought a top mattress without a boxspring as the slats work great and the height is just right.
I love this king size bed. It is BIG and sturdy. The storage is wonderful. After 4 years the platform frame had a small bend and the plastic slat holders were falling apart. I emailed overstock and they sent an all new platform for the bed, FREE. No questions, no hassles. They haven't changed the design of the plastic holders so I bought Bunkie boards to put on top of the slats and now my bed is PERFECT. Once the storage area is full of out of season clothes and linens this bed is not going to move. It is heavy and beautiful. The "leather" is still like brand new. There is space between the mattress and the frame, as others have noted, but I love that space because it makes the bed so easy to make. I tuck my duvet edges into the space and the bed looks modern and neat, all tucked in. I have had no problems with the lift mechanism and I lift it up at least one time a month. I am a 50 year old woman and I put the bed together myself in a few hours. A second set of hands would have made it a lot easier but I'm stubborn about asking for help, LOL! Once together it is very sturdy. I would recommend this bed highly - I love it- and the customer service was first class.
I was surprised to see this bed still for sale 8 years after I bought mine. I would give this bed an excellent rating if the hydraulic lift mechanism worked better. I have to get my husband to lift it and hold it up. However, the storage room is great and I haven't had any problem with the leather. It's a classy looking bed.
Assembling was not easy. Hole sizes are bigger than bolts... Bad design. Within one year a metal frame was bended.
Bed is solid, seems like it will last a long time. Hard to assemble though, needs two people.
I have to say I am so surpirsed to like this bed as much as I do. I was hesitantto make a purchase this large via the eb without having had he opportunity to see the goods first, but I am pleasantly surprised at the bed's quality and attractiveness. It is actually better looking in person than it is in the photo. I do have two complaints: 1.) As other reviewers have commented it is a pretty big Pain in the hoooohaaa to put it together. It took several passes to align it jst right, and even then, once we put the mattress on top and the support adjusted with its weight, we had to d it again. 2.) The storage space under the bed isn't very surdy. I would not recommendkeeping anything besides clothes and or extra bedding in there. The 'floor' of the storage space is very thin and it seems unlikely it could handle the weight of heavier items like books. Aside from that, I am so glad I finally bit the bullet and purchased this bed. It makes me feel more confident in buying other big ticket items on overstock!

Hey guys, I unfortunately have to sell my truck. I am trying to buy a house so I have to get ride of my beautiful truck. I am in SoCal, orange county to be a little more specific. Here's the info:
2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Package
10,400 miles
All service performed at Toyota of Orange- including 10k service last week
Snugtop Tonneau Cover
Alarm with Remote Start- Viper 5901 (include front two window roll-up on when locking truck)
Xenon Headlamp and Fog (6k- bought on the groupbuy here)
Toyota Bed mat
Toyota Side Steps/ running boards
Toyota All weather floor mats.
I wanted to upgrade the performance of the stock JBL radio without having someone look into the truck and think there is tons of equipment in it. This was achieved to a ridiculous level with this truck. The clarity of this system at all levels and deep bass without a single rattle is amazing.
2009- stock JBL 6 disc in-dash radio with bluetooth:
Rockford Fosgate 3.Sixty.2 Digital EQ- converts signal of stock radio to make it better than most aftermarket radios
MQ Quart Premium 6.5 components in the front
MQ Quart 6.5 Components in the Rear
2 10" Image Dynamic Subwoofers
Sub box and speaker adaptors courtesy of MrMarv
Dynamat on all doors and rears- 2 36sq ft boxes used
Monster speaker cable used. 0 gauge power wire
This truck is in meticulous condition. As you can see from the items i put in it i was not looking to get rid of it anytime soon, but i have an amazing opportunity to buy a house and need the extra cash.
Asking $26,999 OBO. I know people will say you can get another one for less, and I am aware of that, put this truck has a lot of sought after mods that you would have to get on your own for more time and money.
PM me or email email@example.com

I noticed this on the pbe server when i patched for thresh. i saw some people post about it so i didnt post again. however, now that it is in actual server im glad this is getting a little more attention. they still need to fix the problem on their end so that people dont have to update their drivers. while i will be updating mine to the beta, not everyone is happy to update theirs. thanks for the response to this issue, not only for my playing comfort but for the comfort of the rest of the gaming community experiencing this problem.
i posted in another thread but i might as well do it here too

I know the more you have the better. Seems the issue is only happening on cards that are PCIe 3.0. I know that my rig does not have a PCIe 3.0 expansion slot, and that I have the most current drivers. My game play setting are all at the highest with the exception of FPS which is set stable, should you need the game config please let me know. While the tearing is not enough to ruin game play all of the time, it is annoying enough to interfere with game play and can last residual graphical blurring until the cursor scrolls across. @ EternalStealth, what exactly do you think a driver patch is for? It's not an optional file that gives you candy, it fixes the problems that crop up. Keeping your drivers up to date ensures that you won't have graphical errors, and maintains a working standard for software companies to conform too. @All, to attack a DXdiag, you need to switch to the advanced posting option.
