A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING is Ratings Winner for ABC
ABC's airing of the Peanut's classic A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING proved to be a ratings winner for the network, holding up strongly against CBS' Survivor and Fox's The X-Factor last night. The 39-year-old animated special delivered its biggest audience in four years - 8.1 million viewers and a 2.2 rating in the adult demo, up 22 percent from last year.
Created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz in 1973 "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," features Charlie Brown as he attempts to do something special for the gang. However the dinner he arranges is a disaster when the caterers, Snoopy and Woodstock, prepare toast and popcorn as the main dish. Humiliated, it will take all of Marcie's persuasive powers to salvage the holiday for Charlie Brown.
The voice cast includes Todd Barbee as Charlie Brown, Robin Kohn as Lucy, Stephen Shea as Linus, Hilary Momberger as Sally, Kip DeFaria as Peppermint Patty, Jimmy Ahrens as Marcie and Robin Reed as Franklin.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Legislator Hector Rodriguez has proposed changing the rules of the Ulster County Legislature to allow lawmakers to remove the body's chairman.
Rodriguez, D-New Paltz, said the idea of amending the rules to allow for such action has been bandied about by lawmakers over the years.
He said the time to introduce the measure seemed ripe now because the Legislature's Laws and Rules Committee is currently reviewing the rules under which the Legislature operates.
"We've talked about this for years. It's an idea, I'm sure, that will be discussed," said Rodriguez. "I'm sure Laws and Rules (Committee) will consider this as part of its overall package of rules."
Right now, we have no mechanism for that," he said.
The move comes amid growing dissatisfaction among some county lawmakers over actions by Legislature Chairwoman Terry Bernardo.
Bernardo, R-Accord, was elected to a one-year term as chairwoman of the Legislature in January, in a bipartisan 20-2 vote. Democratic Minority Leader David Donaldson and Legislator Peter Loughran, both city of Kingston Democrats, voted against Bernardo's election. Rodriguez, D-New Paltz, was absent from the vote.
Since taking office, Bernardo has raised the ire of some fellow legislators, mainly over personnel changes within the legislative offices.
But Rodriguez said that controversy isn't the impetus behind the resolution.
"Other people, that may be their motivation, but not from my perspective," he said. "This has been something that's been discussed internally for a number of years."
Majority Leader Kenneth Ronk said that although he is "not inherently opposed" to providing a mechanism to remove the chairman, he is concerned that some may use it as an opportunity to attack Bernardo.
Ronk, R-Wallkill, said if the Legislature could legally provide a way to remove the Legislature chairman from office, he would want the rules written in such a way that the action could be taken only under extreme circumstances, which he said don't currently exist within the Legislature, and only with a three-fourths majority vote of the Legislature.

World Briefing | Europe: Greece Backs New Talks On Cyprus
Published: March 29, 2005
A new effort to reunify Cyprus moved closer to reality after Greece publicly threw its weight behind fresh talks based on a United Nations plan that failed last year. The Greek foreign minister, Petros Molyviatis, said after meeting with Secretary General Kofi Annan that ''everybody now agrees'' that reunification talks for the divided Mediterranean island should be started again. This month, the Cypriot president, Tassos Papadopoulos, publicly called on the United Nations to restart talks. In twin referendums last April, Turkish Cypriots approved reunification, but their Greek counterparts rejected it. The island joined the European Union divided, but resolving the reunification issue is now crucial to Turkey's hopes of joining the bloc.

Rangers are planning a day of celebration, but Ally McCoist is still fretful.
A host of former players will attend today's game against Stirling Albion, as the Ibrox side belatedly celebrate 140 years of history. The intention is for supporters to revel in the occasion, but McCoist has more prosaic concerns. It would be disappointing, after all, if the current team did not perform well in the midst of the revelry.
The manager can at least take comfort from a recent run of consistent form. Rangers have won six consecutive league games since losing 1-0 away to today's visitors last October. That result was chastening, and seemed to confirm the team's difficulties in coming to terms with how to play in the third division. Away games in particular had been bothersome, but there is less uncertainty now, and facing Stirling again is an opportunity for McCoist's team to atone for their display at Forthbank.
Loading article content
"I don't like using the word revenge, I would never use it, but we were poor against Stirling Albion," McCoist said. "We want to put that right. They're the only club in the league to have inflicted a defeat on us. We certainly don't want it happening twice. I'm really looking forward to the whole occasion [today].
"But one thing we can't do is take our eye off the ball, because the last thing we want is a damp squib. We have to do our business. It's great that some real legends of the past are coming back to celebrate 140 years, but that said we've got to win the game. We know our responsibilities, all of the players and the management."
There was always a sense of perspective in McCoist's reaction to the Stirling defeat, since he spent the summer fighting to secure Rangers' very future. He refused to describe the loss as embarrassing, since he felt that would be disrespectful to Stirling. Instead, McCoist made sure the players understood the performances had become unacceptable.
Outwardly, he changed from wearing a suit on matchdays to sporting a tracksuit, a move which represented an abrupt change in tradition at Ibrox. Rangers fans tend to cherish the club's customs, but there has been no grumbling as the team have begun to find a measure of composure and self-assurance. "I was always confident it would change and we would pick up away points, that our performances would get better," McCoist said. "And they have been getting better, although you're always loath to tempt fate.
"The one thing I knew was that this season would be more helter-skelter than any other, going into games with a squad of younger boys who didn't know each other six months ago. They are still learning and getting to know each other. We've had injuries, but the shape of the team has remained the same and we are feeling more comfortable. We still have an incredibly long way to go and it will be a bumpy road, but we are in a far better place, without getting too carried away."
The young players can still be overwhelmed, though, and the appearance of so many lauded figures from the club's past is potentially intimidating. However, the likes of Barrie McKay, Lewis MacLeod, Ross Perry and Fraser Aird are beginning to make their own reputations and McCoist believes they can rise to the occasion. He wants his players to show "that the club is in good hands and they can follow in the footsteps of those who went before them".
That includes John Greig, who is returning to Ibrox for the first time since he and John McClelland resigned as non-executive directors more than a year ago. The two men were uncomfortable with being marginalised under Craig Whyte, and Greig vowed not to return until the club was under new ownership. Accepting an invite to today's celebration is an endorsement of the current regime, led by Charles Green, the chief executive. "It means everything," McCoist said of Greig's return. "John is synonymous with the football club, he's part of the fabric and the history. When you talk about our football club, you talk about John in the same breath. Greigy will want to come back and say thank you to the fans and meet and greet the players who played with and under him.
"He would want to be part of this 140 years because as an individual he's been probably as responsible for a lot of our club's history as anybody. The fact he's coming back – and it's only my opinion – is because John would probably say he can see we are in a better place than we were six or eight months ago. John's a very intelligent man, so when he stepped away, I knew something wasn't right."

If you're selling, recycling, or otherwise getting rid of an old smart phone or tablet and think simply deleting your data is enough, you could be exposing yourself to identify theft and other violations of your privacy.
Recently, the antivirus software maker Avast reported that it was able to recover "erased" personal information from 20 Android phones it had purchased on eBay. The information included more than 40,000 stored photos, including some depicting women and men in various stages of undress, more than 750 e-mails and texts, more than 250 contact names and addresses, four previous owners' identities, and even a completed loan application. The software manufacturer posted an eye-opening, although technical, document that shows how it recovered the data and how vulnerable digital devices are.
Check out our cell phone and tablet buying guides.
This investigation is one more example of an issue we've been writing about for a long time: Simply deleting information from electronic devices doesn't actually remove it. To make data truly unrecoverable, it must be overwritten, or the device that contains the information, for example a computer hard drive, must be destroyed.
In the blog reporting its results, Avast recommends installing the free Avast Anti-Theft software from the Google Play store and shows how to use it to permanently delete data from Android phones.
Consumer Reports has extensive tips for permanently deleting data from digital gadgets, including smart phones and tablets, personal computers, gaming consoles, and removable media. There were 3.1 million smart phone thefts in 2013, so check out our video below for advice on how to protect your phone from being stolen and safeguard the data if it is.

Thread: Granite Surface Plate - Cracked?
26-11-2016 #1
Hi Folks,
We have received a granite surface plate that we ordered from RDG Tools and on unboxing it appears that there is a very fine crack running across the top of the plate. I cannot detect anything running my nail across it, but has anyone experienced or seen anything similar on a granite plate? It is very hard to detect if it is a crack or just an artifact in the natural material. Advice appreciated :)
26-11-2016 #2
The only thing I can think of is dye penetrant testing, that would definitely detect a crack if there is one,

Media must respect range of views
I recently had what might be termed a difference of professional opinion with some of my fellow journalists. It was touched off by a newspaper editorial that took a whack at "enthusiastic amateurs" sounding off on such issues as climate change and fluoridation.
Everyone was entitled to their opinion, the editorial writer loftily pronounced, but not all views should be accorded equal weight. The views of people with years of study and experience behind them were worth more than those of non-experts.
"Everyone is free to disagree but ignorance does not have an equal right to be heard," the editorial concluded.
A member of an internet journalism discussion group to which I belong applauded the editorial, saying she couldn't agree more. "These amateur know-it-alls are a menace," she declared.
I thought this a peculiar position for a journalist for take. I mean, aren't we supposed to believe in freedom of speech?
Another member chimed in that the Sensible Sentencing Trust's Garth McVicar should be added to the "list of nutters". Then someone else suggested a couple of other names for what was shaping up as a blacklist: David Round and Lindsay Mitchell.
Mr Round is a University of Canterbury law lecturer who has written extensively over many years about Treaty of Waitangi issues. Unusually for an academic, he dismisses the Treaty settlement process as a rort and a gravy train.
Ms Mitchell is a Wellington researcher who sets out to debunk the myths surrounding the welfare state, which she describes as economically, socially and morally unsustainable. Hers is a courageous and often lonely voice challenging the vast body of agencies, bureaucrats and academics with a common interest in propping up an unwieldy and seriously flawed welfare system.
What was immediately noticeable was that the individuals dismissed by some of my fellow journalists, loosely speaking, were all Right of centre. I noted that no one suggested that the ubiquitous, all-purpose Left-wing activist John Minto gets far too much attention from the media. Yet over time, Minto has been on our television screens and in the news columns of our newspapers far more often than the three people mentioned above.
Minto irritates me, but I wouldn't suggest he should be silenced. Yet here were journalists arguing, in effect, that the media pays far too much attention to activists from the other side of the political divide. I concluded that among journalists who belong to the group, or at least those who take part in the online discussions, there was a pronounced bias against the Right.
Is this true of journalists generally? I'm not sure. It may simply be true of the journalists who feel strongly enough to express an opinion. Journalism has always attracted a percentage of people who are motivated by idealism, and idealists are often Left-wing.
But the individual political leanings of journalists are not so important in this context. What matters is that they should be committed to freedom of expression, regardless of whether they agree with the opinion being expressed.
That's fundamental to journalism in a liberal democracy, and I found it highly ironic - and said so - that people who called themselves journalists appeared to be arguing that certain views, Right-wing views, shouldn't be given the time of day. (Some denied my accusation that they were arguing for suppression, but it was hard to see what other inference could be drawn.)
In any case, let's examine this question of "expert" versus "non-expert" more closely. It was clear from the discussion that the word "expert" is equated with a university degree. In the climate change debate, you're not considered credible unless you have a relevant academic qualification.
But in more than 40 years in journalism, I've come across any number of highly qualified "experts" whose opinions seemed to owe more to ideology than to academic credibility. Many academics are moralists by nature, always ready to lecture us on what they perceive to be the world's failings.
I remember sitting in a university lecture theatre several years ago, surrounded by gullible young students, and being appalled by the brazenly ideological cant spouted by the academic addressing us. Whatever the subject - whether climate change or alcohol law reform, to choose two topical examples - many academics are inclined to cherry-pick the theories that suit their political leanings. .
But assuming that academic qualifications confer some sort of authority, how does one of my fellow journalists explain his suggestion that David Round has no credibility? According to the University of Canterbury website, Mr Round has an honours degree in law. I can only conclude that in the eyes of some journalists, Left-wing people with degrees are entitled to respect but Right-wing people with degrees should be ignored.
Let's take this further still. Why should we bow to academic experts anyway, when they are notorious for getting things wrong?
Political scientists are hopeless at predicting election outcomes. Seismologists and meteorologists are often wise only after the event (only last January our own Niwa confessed it had got its summer weather outlook completely wrong).
Historians differ wildly in their interpretation of events and the study of economics is famously inexact. And don't get me started on media "experts", many of whom have only the most tenuous grip on reality.
Journalists of all people should know to treat "experts" with a healthy degree of scepticism.
Besides, there are other ways, apart from a university education, to acquire knowledge and expertise. A diligent, intelligent and enthusiastic amateur can acquire a body of knowledge to rival that of any academic. For that reason it's dangerously elitist to dismiss a group such as the Sensible Sentencing Trust as having nothing of value to contribute to the debate on crime and punishment.
Amateur pressure groups play a crucial role in a participatory democracy. Confine public debate to "experts" and you risk excluding legitimate and often highly knowledgeable participants.
Take Lindsay Mitchell, for example. She is an assiduous researcher who frequently exposes flaws in the arguments of welfare "experts". Such individuals should be treasured in a free and open democracy - yet here were journalists, of all people, arguing that they should be disregarded.
Should we be worried by this? You bet.

TAMPA — Four Hillsborough teachers. Four arrests on charges of having sexual relationships with students.
With 2007-08 shaping up as the Year of the Teacher Sex Scandal, Hillsborough School Board members are meeting today to address a growing embarrassment.
Don't expect a silver bullet.
One board member wants to make it absolutely clear that prospective teachers have to report arrests on employment applications.
Another is pushing for fairness in how teachers who have sex with students are punished. Remember Debra Lafave, the Greco Middle School teacher whose lawyer declared her "too pretty for prison"?
Still another seeks clearer lines for teacher interactions with students and parents. Sex should be an obvious no-no. But e-mail, text-messaging and even casual conversations can cause trouble, too.
If nothing else, board members will publicly vet their hiring procedures and the ethics training provided to teachers.
"It's not just PR," board member Doretha Edgecomb said. "I think we're probably going to come out with more questions than answers, but I think we are going to get at least an overview of what we are doing now."
And what's not working.
School Board Chairwoman Jennifer Faliero is concerned about teachers omitting past arrests when they apply for jobs. Such was the case with Stephanie Ragusa, the 28-year-old former Davidsen Middle School teacher recently accused of having sex with a 14-year-old boy.
School officials generally catch the arrests when conducting background checks, Faliero said. They did with Ragusa but hired her anyway.
Such situations are sticky to navigate.
"What's happing is they're not telling the truth, or they're under the impression that they don't have to list it as an arrest because the charges have been dropped," Faliero said. "We're going to be looking at some language changes that make it very, very clear."
Another area to review is the "professional barrier" between students and teachers, said board member Candy Olson.
"I would go beyond sex," said Olson, who wants to make sure teachers understand when they are interfering with a parent and a student. "I don't think it's appropriate for a teacher to say to a kid, 'I don't think your parent should make you take that class.' "
Board members are quick to say the vast majority of teachers are doing the right thing every day and don't need reminders.
And public perceptions of right and wrong may be at play. Teachers who cross the line and have sex with students aren't always held to the same standard.
Board member April Griffin is troubled by the disparity. Lafave, for example, served no jail time after pleading guilty to having sex with a 14-year-old boy.
But former Wharton High School teacher and coach Jaymee Wallace was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to a sexual relationship with a student on her girls basketball team.
Griffin wants to talk about that with representatives of the Hillsborough state attorney and public defender's offices, who have been invited to today's meeting. It starts at 1 p.m. in the boardroom at 901 E Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa.
Boundary changes
School Board members are scheduled to approve boundary changes for the following schools during their regular meeting today, which begins at 3 p.m.
• Adjusting boundaries between Hunter's Green and Shaw elementary, and Clark and Witter elementary schools in the north county. Also, changing the boundary between Ruskin and Cypress Creek elementary schools in the south county.
• Setting the boundaries for new elementary schools — one in Temple Heights and Doris Ross Reddick, opening in south Hillsborough.
• Establishing a boundary for Sgt. Paul Smith Middle School in the northwest county, with accompanying changes for Martinez, Davidsen, Farnell, Walker and Webb middle schools.

EA has confirmed that NBA Jam creator Mark Turmell has been hired as Tiburon's new Senior Creative Director where he'll work on the Madden and NCAA franchises.
"I have focused on arcade sports and fighting game titles for the last 17 years, and even though they aren't traditional sims, there are huge lessons learned that can be applied to sim titles," said Turmell during an EA Q&A.
"The industry and audience is changing fairly dramatically, and often times our customer is looking for a quicker, more streamlined experience. That type of thinking was required in the arcades, and is becoming more important for all platforms. I love the arcade style games, but certainly understand the difference and requirements for sim products."
He added: "I love to have my hands on the sticks, trying to improve pacing, impact of moves, velocities, AI decisions, etc. We have many talented developers in the mix on football, but hopefully I can bring a little extra magic to the mix and our games will appeal to an even larger audience. It doesn't get much better than working on EA football titles!"
Turmell's new role at EA also adds weight to rumours earlier this week that the publisher is to revive the NBA Jam franchise with a new release on Wii.

The 10 Best Fried Chicken Restaurants in Los Angeles
Are you sick of healthy food trends like kale salad and poké? If so, 2016 might be the year for you, a time when Los Angeles is rediscovering its torrid love affair with the wonderful magic that occurs when poultry meets hot oil. That's not to say this city isn't already home to great fried chicken — shoutout to old-guard spots like Jim Dandy, Mom's BBQ and Honey Kettle (and R.I.P. to Flossie's) — but the recent explosion of really good chicken within the last year or two has been enough to make even the casual bird enthusiast take notice. Peak Chicken might not yet be upon us, but we are much closer to the summit than before.
A quick ground rule: this list is for purebreds, i.e., no restaurants serving fried chicken as a nightly or weekend special, no matter how delicious (Terrine, Ledlow, the Bellwether, Poppy & Rose, etc.). And yes, we probably missed your favorite spot, but you can always yell it at us virtually in the comments section below. Everyone knows their mother's fried chicken is No. 1 anyway.
Two-piece and biscuit at Krispy Crunchy Chicken
Garrett Snyder
10. Krispy Krunchy Fried Chicken
If you haven't heard of this Louisiana-based fast food outfit with more than 2,000 locations nationwide, don't be surprised. The core of Krispy Krunchy's business model involves partnering with gas stations and convenience stores, which fry and sell their proprietary "Cajun recipe" chicken on-site. In Los Angeles, the two free-standing locations are located inside South L.A. shopping malls — one in the Slauson Supermall, the other in the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza. But don't be fooled, this stuff is more than food-court fodder. Krispy Krunchy's chicken easily bests fast-food giants like Popeye's, Church's, et al. The skin is as crackly as the name suggests, and the meat is quite moist thanks to a patented "Cajun flavor injection" technique, which is surely as terrible for you as it sounds. But hey, there's also blueberry biscuits, and those are basically fruit, right? Various locations, including 3650 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Baldwin Hills; (323) 293-3332, krispykrunchy.com.
Blue Ribbon fried chicken

9. Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill
There are valid reasons to be skeptical about Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, a popular Asian brasserie with outlets in New York, Vegas and, now, L.A.: 1) it's located deep within the Michael Bublé–soundtracked tourist trap that is the Grove, and 2) the sushi itself is pretty middling. But both those concerns are dwarfed by one thing — the stupendously good (and deservedly famous) fried chicken, which arrives crusted in matzoh meal and dusted with a paprika-heavy seasoning mix. A side of addictive wasabi-honey sauce further gilds the proverbial lily. The price for a half fried chicken might seem steep at $28, but those looking for a smaller portion can opt for the weekday happy hour deal: four wings for $7. 189 The Grove Drive, Beverly Grove; (323) 352-9300, blueribbonrestaurants.com.
"Best Fried Chicken Ever" at Pizza Romana
Garrett Snyder
8. Pizza Romana
Pizza and fried chicken? The dream is real at Pizza Romana, a counter-service pizzeria on La Brea, which offers wood-fired pies, crowd-pleasing side dishes and a reasonably priced Italian wine list. When owner Alex Palermo flipped the former concept, Cube Café & Marketplace, into a pizza restaurant, he was wise enough to continue serving Cube's beloved fried chicken, and for that we are grateful. Listed on the menu as "The Best Fried Chicken Ever!!," the schnitzel-esque boneless breast nearly lives up to its own self-assured title, especially when dunked in the accompanying tarragon ranch dressing. Fried chicken aficionados might find the lack of dark meat dubious, but a lengthy brine keeps the white meat supple and flavorful. And if you're more the chicken tender type, they have those too. 615 N. La Brea Ave., Fairfax; (323) 939-1148 ext. 10, pizzaromana.com.
Spicy fried chicken at 77 Kentucky
Tony Chen
7. 77 Kentucky
Since the fried chicken fad swept through Koreatown a few years ago, the pinnacle of the genre has probably been Kyochon, a fast-casual spot with wings by the box, or O.B. Bear, a throwback tavern where Hite beer towers harmonize with sticky glazed chicken parts. The new standard bearer, however, might be 77 Kentucky (or, Chil Chil Kenteoki in Korean), the first international outlet of a 1970s-era chain based in Busan, which specializes in American-inspired fried chicken and french fries served in oversized steel bowls. The whole situation is kind of meta, like when a Panda Express opens in China, but fortunately the chicken is spectacular enough to transcend any cultural confusion. The flavor options are numerous and delicious: garlic-glazed chicken, sweet and spicy chicken, "Real Hot Pepper" chicken, "Chinese" chicken, or the "Original Style," the latter arriving as a quarter bird plunged in hot oil until its skin turns to glass and seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper that you sprinkle on yourself. The sole tragedy here is the lack of beer — this food practically screams for it — but until the alcohol license arrives, you'll have to console yourself with a cold Fanta. 698 S. Vermont Ave., Koreatown; (213) 263-2686.
Fried chicken and sides at Mama Joan's
Garrett Snyder
6. Mama Joan's Soul Food
There are few soul food gems in L.A. that can keep pace with Mama Joan's, a family-run establishment in a Ladera Heights strip mall (motto: "putting the soul back in soul food") where the fried chicken is fried to order rather than plucked from a steam tray. That small detail alone makes a big difference, as the chicken skin comes out crackling and golden, worlds away from the stodgy, heavy-breading variety that has become too commonplace. You can get the chicken smothered in brown gravy if you like, but that just means more distraction from the extra-crispy crust. If you have room, the made-from-scratch sides are equally comforting — succotash, red beans and rice, gooey mac and cheese — which, along with a sweet tea and cornbread muffin, can easily turn your quick lunch into a long afternoon nap. 5496 W. Centinela Ave., Ladera Heights, (310) 670-5900.

Hotels enjoy high occupancy levels on the first weekend of Dubai Summer Surprises
Dubai Summer Surprises 2003 is already reflecting positively on the occupancy levels of some hotels in the city. Marketing Director of Grand Hyatt Dubai Roddy Gordon said, "the beginning of the season is already indicating a period of high occupancy for us. Our weekend occupancy levels were as high as 100 percent, with several families from the GCC. As a new hotel in Dubai, we are very encouraged by the response of the region's visitors."
Business Development Director, Le Meridien Dubai Shujaat Yar said, "The Dubai Summer Surprises period is historically established as one of the seasons for high occupancy. The first weekend we have recorded an occupancy of more than 92 percent. We are confident of maintaining high occupancy levels during the summer months, driven primarily by high demand from the GCC visitors during the Dubai Summer Surprises."
The Hyatt Regency recorded 98 percent starting off the weekend. Director of Sales, Golden Sands hotel apartments, Jagdish Pai said, "we have already reached occupancy levels of 90 percent plus. A large percentage of our guests are visiting families from the GCC, given that the school vacations have already started there. A fair amount of traffic is also coming in from the United Kingdom and the Asian subcontinent." — (menareport.com)

On one side of the house a sunk hole has been created in the floor due to an improper renovation carried out in the mid to late 70's. A bathroom was put in and when they were running the new utilities they cut through 2 joists completely. This has caused the side to sink almost 3 inches bringing surrounding joists down with it.
There is only crawl space under the floor joists, some if which are now sitting on the dirt. The brick wall the joists were sitting on is also starting to crumble due to the load.
We are getting a structural engineer to come in and look.
What would be the best way to go about replacing the floor joists?
Sorry to hear of your troubles with that botched reno. We hear it often. Based solely on what you described, there are a few issues:
1) sounds like the joists are too close to exposed dirt underneath to start with (rot issue)
2) if joists are hangered onto plates then the floor can come out and joists replaced
3) If joists sit on to top of foundation wall (bricks?) with wall on top of them, then floor may need to be jacked up and new joists "sistered" beside the existing ones
You really need to have a competent general contractor look at that who has experience in this area.
Alair Homes & Renovations
Typically you would jack up the adjacent joists on either side of the cut ones and once level repair the block wall and then slide new joists in and screw of nail to the old ones to get the strength. You should make sure they go at least 4' both ways and the end rest on the repaired block wall.
Inspect for rot and replace as required and if this is an area with dampness use Pressure Treated lumber. Nail patten should be at least 4 nails vertically every 12"'s.
Sounds like your box header board may also need to be cut and replaced which depending on the siding you have shouldn't be too tough. Add a double joist hanger to the open end of the splice.
First, they should never have cut through the floor joists as they are the foundation for flooring and everything above.
The joists can be jacked up and sistered (attaching a second joist to the cut one) ... if space allows.
You are wise to get the advice from a structural engineer. It may not be a big issue to correct but make sure it is done to code.
Sorry to hear about this, it shouldn't have happened.
If your getting Structural Engineer on the site, he will recommend solutions for your problems and you better stick to it and do what he recommends, anything else is a bs.
Then hire somone who can follow his recomended scope of work.
You will want a structural engineer to examine it.
But I would suggest the following to any client of mine. First, any floor joists and supports should not be on brick. There should be a proper cocrete foundation poured from the weeper tile around the structure to the level line for the first floor. Then construction plastic should be applied and a 2"x6" plate should be bolted to the concrete foundation. Then all floor joists can be laid and nailed to this plate. If it were my house. I would go this route.
This will be costly, but if you plan to live there a while, it will be worth it.
I have read other posts regarding repairs, and some are possible. But you will have further issues in the future.
Good luck with it.
James Fram
Sounds like you need some underpinning too in addition to all the other comments. Get a structural engineer and remember it's always cheaper to do it correctly the first time.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
I need to install OpenVMS on a Dec AlphaStation 400 which currently has no OS. Compaq has shipped media labeled AXPBINJUN011 which I am unable to boot. Do I have the correct media, and if so, how do I boot from it? I have tried >>> boot -flags 0,0 dka400 which responds with (boot dka400,4,0,6,0 -flags 0,0) block 0 of dka400,4,0,6,0 is not a valid boot block
The Answer is :
You do not appear to have the correct media -- you appear to have the consolidated software distribution kit for OpenVMS layered products and not the (required) OpenVMS software distribution media. The Software Product Description for OpenVMS lists the necessary part numbers for software kits: http://www.compaq.com/info/spd/ In the case of the current OpenVMS release, the media kit order number is: QAMT1AAH8 OpenVMS Alpha software and online documentation CDROM

Any military personnel on here?
Current or previous. I am thinking about joining and just wanted to know if I could chat with someone other than a recruiter.
Re: Any military personnel on here?
Three generations of Military here. I did 12 years and had a great time. I personally recommend that everybody do a stint in the Military between High School and College, and do 20 years if it works out for you.
When I joined it was to do 4 years. Had a great time, spend a bit longer then planned and only seperated because I had other objectives I wanted to concentrate on.
My bit of advice, go Air Force and make sure you go in with a guaranteed AFSC, (type of job).
When you have served your country, not only do you have all the rights of an American Citizen, but you've earned them.
Re: Any military personnel on here?
Tough to give advice on whether or not to join. Your life changes so dramatically and you are worked so hard mentally and physically that you will cuss anyone that had anything to do with your being there. That's at first and only temporary. After basic training you will be trained for a specific job. After that you will go to work like any other job.
I was drafted and wouldn't trade that experience for a million dollars. In fact to this day most of us old draftees think everyone should serve. Best of luck to you.

At tough preparatory schools and colleges, big boys sell the radiators, fire-escapes, bedroom crockery, etc., to smaller boys. In Chicago, big boys sell small boys the privilege of staying in business. Chicago's "rackets," as they are called, developed out of the Prohibition graft system, where Federal agents extort money from blind-piggers for protection. One of the most profitable "rackets" in the Chicago underworld is in the cleaning and dyeing industry. The profits reach $1,500,000 per annum. Credit for bringing the "racket" to its Chicagoan perfection belongs largely to Timothy D....

Zurich (Dec. 29)
German newspapers reaching here today report that among the thousands of Jews arrested in Italy approximately 400 were in possession of over a million lire each. These included 82 whose possessions were valued at 100 million lire each. The total value of Jewish property confiscated in the German-controlled part of Italy is given in the German press as twelve billion lire and not twelve billion as reported several days ago over the German radio.
The Rome radio today devoted a lengthy broadcast to quoting from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion during which it demanded that "no quarter be given to the internal Jewish enemy, who is destroying the social hierarchy and the welfare of the community, just as no quarter is given to the external foe."

When Nicole Richie and Joel Madden tie the knot -- reportedly this summer -- they'll have a world-class balladeer to serenade their first dance: Richie's dad, Lionel Richie.
"My happiness for Nicole and Joel knows no boundaries," Richie tells UsMagazine.com in a statement. "They have given me two beautiful grandchildren, Harlow and Sparrow, and have proven to be great parents."
Nicole is the adopted only child of Lionel, 60, and his ex-wife Brenda.
"I am not sure who is luckier, Nicole and Joel to have each other, or me, to have both of them in my life," the "All Night Long" singer says. "I cannot wait to give away the bride!"
After Madden, 30, announced his engagement to Richie, 28, via Twitter on Monday, his bride-to-be told David Letterman the good news at a taping for the Late Show with David Letterman. (The episode will air this Friday.)
"We actually recently are engaged!" she told the comic. The star and fashion designer was photographed in NYC Monday wearing an enormous engagement ring.
But Richie didn't mention the big news during a Tuesday appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly -- or on her always-active Twitter account.

As the Wisconsin football team's spring game draws nearer, head coach Bret Bielema has been pleased with the progression of his players so far in camp.
Even though there hasn't been much full contact in camp yet, Bielema said he's been surprised at the level of intensity on the field.
"The first two days of practice were actually kind of a shock to me, being as clean and as efficient as they were," Bielema said. "The intensity is as good as we've ever had here."
Coming off a second consecutive Big Ten title and Rose Bowl appearance, Wisconsin now faces the tough task of replacing a group of 20 seniors – as well as junior center Peter Konz who declared for the upcoming NFL draft – and six assistant coaches.
With plenty of new opportunities across the roster, Bielema has seen freshman offensive lineman Dan Voltz mesh into the college game nicely so far. Like center Travis Frederick before him, Voltz is one of three Badgers to have graduated early from high school in order to practice with UW in the spring.
And so far, the 6-foot-4, 288-pound lineman has impressed Bielema the most out of Wisconsin's newcomers.
"Since the recruiting process, he has been nothing but a highlight for us," Bielama said of Voltz. "He's very detail-oriented. Probably one of the more gifted O-linemen since I've been here that I've ever seen come in and handle things so well from the get-go. He's going to be a very, very good football player for us, either at the center or guard position."
The Badgers will also have to replace both their kicker and their punter this year, something they haven't had to worry about for four years. Both former kicker Philip Welch and punter Brad Nortman both saw significant time on the field for all four years of their time at Wisconsin.
This year, redshirt sophomore Kyle French is the favorite to replace Welch as the starting kicker. French saw a lot of time last year as Welch missed the majority of the first half of the season with a leg injury. During Welch's absence French went 3-for-5 on field goal attempts while also handling most of the kickoff duties. According to Bielema, French is off to a good start this spring.
"French was 4-for-4 Sunday, which was the first time we've done live kicking," Bielema said. "The biggest thing is to try and create as many pressure situations as possible."
Another position with major shoes to fill is at wide receiver. Wisconsin will lose its top receiver from last year, Nick Toon, who led the Badgers with 10 touchdown receptions in 2011.
However, Wisconsin will return its team leader in receiving yards from last year in Jared Abbrederis, but he's been sidelined throughout the spring, leaving a wide open chance for someone to step up.
One candidate to take over as the No. 2 receiver is redshirt sophomore Marquis Mason, who is a year removed from knee surgery and has yet to see the field on gameday as a Badger.
"Nobody has made as big of a jump from Tuesday to Thursday's practice," Bielema said of Mason. "He's got big ol' mitts and is so freaky athletically. He's got something that nobody else has, so the more of that we bring out, the better we all will be."
Few scholarships remain for 2013 class
Another topic of discussion this spring is the few scholarships that Bielema and the Badgers have to work with for recruiting. For this upcoming season, Wisconsin has only nine available scholarships to give out, a number that is usually closer to 20.
That makes it even more important for the Badgers to get a lot of the in-state talent they usually do. According to Bielema, over 40 percent of the players are from Wisconsin, something that he says the school stresses as one of its priorities.
"I try to emphasize that our priority always starts in the state of Wisconsin," he said. "Lots of other schools I've been to like Iowa and Kansas say that, but here in Wisconsin it's the heart and soul of what we are."

I had a fat transfer for my cheekbones and lips and i read from a doctor here that only 3% of the fat can stay from research from ASAPS and ASPS. but my doctor says more than 50 % can stay? and i m 18 years old and i have read that fat takes better in younger people?
Fat Transfer to Cheekbones and Lips. How Much Fat Stays and is It True That Fat Takes Better in Younger People?
Doctor Answers 6
Fat Transfer and Take
There are many variables that effect the success of fat transfer, age, techniques used to harvest and prepare the fat, experience of surgeon, etc. We call our procedure Natural Fill and you can see videos and before and after pictures on our website. With an experienced surgeon, more that 50% should take.
Take of Fat after transfer
Fat transfer is commonly done in all parts of the face and body. There are studies that quote fat retention from single digit percentages to near 90%. The truth is that there are many variables that contribute to he success of fat take. One variable is age, health status, amount of fat, harvest, process and purification technique.Speak with your plastic surgeon about his/her specific protocol. The nice thing about fat transfer is that there is nothing artificial about the product (unlike commercial fillers). Once the fat has taken it as the potential to last a very long time. Lastly this procedure can be repeated for best results and can be done in the office with minimal post operative discomfort. Remember that safety should always take priority over being expedient so speak with your surgeon and inquire about his/her results and experience. Communication and aligning expectations is the key to happy patient and happy doctor!
Fat Transfer and Take
It is true that fat retention varies not only in studies but from patient to patient. In my experience, younger patients do have better "take" than patients older than age 65-70. It is safe to say that you may require more than one session of fat grafting for optimal results but at 18, and in experienced hands, you will likely have 50% or more fat graft retention.

Fat transfer is better in younger patients
Like many things in surgery, fat transfer tends to be better in younger patients. The reality is quantifying fat take rate is very difficult and there is no standard way for preparing and injecting fat though techniques are improving. Myself, I use a specialy designed system called Adivive to help me better prep the fat and isolate the stem cell content. I expect about 50 to 70% take in my younger patients and about 40 to 60% in my patients who are post-menopause.
I prefer not to use it in the lips because of variable take due to lip mobility. Cheekbones in a young woman should do well.

Fat resorption varies
It is certainly true that fat survival can be variable in patients. Generally, in our practice, we believe an average of 40-60% to be the rate we can achieve. Certainly we've had better in some and sometimes none in others.
There are no scientific papers that show a different rate in fat retention, but some feel that younger patients will do better. Again the percentages that are quoted are approximations as there is no way currently that can measure the volume of fat that has survived.
Fat Grafting. How Much Fat Stays and is It True That Fat Takes Better in Younger People?
The resorption rate for fat grafting varies from study to study, but you can expect approximately 60-80% long term graft survival based on several studies in the literature. Resorption rates may vary depending on the location. The cheeks and lips tend to have a lesser degree of resorption than the nasolabial folds. I'm not aware of any studies that have shown variation in resorption rates based on age.

Congratulations Mayor John Moloney of Mount Isa, Australia for winning the top award for the most sexist public comment of 2008.
Moloney won the award for inviting ugly women to move to his little mining town, saying they could easily find a man, since there was less competition.
Moloney offered his controversial proposition in August 2008 as a way to help solve the shortage of women in his outback town. His comments offended men and women of Mount Isa, who said it was an insult to their town.
According to an Agence France Presse story, the winner of the Ernie award is chosen by the volume of boos and jeers given to each nominee during the annual women-only Ernie Awards in the New South Wales parliament.
The purpose of the Ernies is to shame men for "outrageous sexism."
Sexism (n.) - Discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of the opposite sex.
Irony (n.) - A group of Australian women who gather at a women-only event solely to shame and embarrass men for "outrageous sexism."

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive
Active Parking Assist
Parking as if by magic.
More detailed information
Changes may have been made since these images and films were produced.
With Active Parking Assist from Mercedes-Benz the vehicle seeks an appropriate parking space on its own initiative and manoeuvres into the space automatically at the push of a button, with the driver required only to operate the accelerator and brake.
Parking Assist begins looking for parking spaces automatically at speeds of under 36 km/h. When the vehicle is travelling at under 30 km/h, Parking Assist signals that it has found an appropriate space by means of a "P" and a direction arrow on the instrument cluster display. The driver is merely required to engage reverse gear, confirm the parking prompt and ensure that the vehicle is not travelling in excess of 10 km/h. Active Parking Assist then attends to manoeuvring into the space on its own.
For the purposes of automatic parking, the ultrasonic sensors of the PARKTRONIC system measure the distance to the vehicle in front and behind. The driver retains control of the vehicle throughout the parking process and is required only to regulate the speed with the accelerator or brake pedal. After a few brief manoeuvres, the vehicle is duly parked facing in the driving direction.
Active Parking Assist incorporates a total of ten ultrasonic sensors – six in the front bumper and four in the rear bumper – together with an electronic control unit which processes the sensor signals and calculates the ideal path into the parking space. This information is relayed to the electro-mechanical power steering system, whose electric motor performs the necessary steering movements automatically. The system operates with extreme precision: a parking space just 1.2 metres longer than the vehicle is sufficient for the automatic parking process.

Tahoe local Todd Borg is the author of the Owen McKenna Tahoe Mystery series, featuring Detective McKenna, natch, his Great Dane Spot, and a bunch of other cool characters. Of course, the books have gotten great reviews coast-to-coast, won awards like the Ben Franklin Award for Best Mystery of the Year, been chosen by Library Journal as one of the Top 5 Mysteries of the Year and more. But the main reason to check them out is that they are fun, fast reads with a lot of action and intelligent stories. The recurring characters will become your friends. Spot will become one of your favorite dogs. You'll love visiting Tahoe from your armchair. And the bad guys will make you... well, let's just say you will despise them. Borg has been waiting for you to give the books a try. P.S. Spot says hi.
Review by:
on July 14, 2012 :
I have read Todd's Tahoe series in order and enjoyed them all so much so that in order to read Tahoe Heat I bought my first ebook ever. The book is definitely worth reading if you enjoy the thriller mystery genre, well written and plotted and with a bit of bonus information about the Washoe Indians and biotech. Owen, his largeness, Street, Diamond and all the other recurring characters are engaging. The Smashwords experience was painless and very positive and I recommend it as well. I am definitely planning to continue reading this series and hope Todd continues writing.

La economía de la España democrática: un ejercicio de interpretación
Inside the long term perspective offered by the whole process of industrialisation in Spain and particularly over the 20C, the last 25 years of democracy, show an outstanding positive net balance in terms of economic modernisation, above all if this is measured not just in growth rate of per capita income (an area where the advance has doubtless been appreciable), but also due to attainment of the long-awaited aims of convergence with Europe in production structure and the overcoming of traditional obstacles and restrictions which have hampered the free spreading of Spain's economic potential. This has all occurred, in an evolutionary manner, through three cycles, in which economic and political decisions are superimposed: The transition itself, a difficult but creative period; Spain's integration in Europe, coinciding with the first three socialist dominated governments, a period of substantial achievement but with a disappointing finale; and the change of century cycle, when the long path towards economic stability was successfully concluded with early introduction of the Euro, though the last cycle is still open, and growing difficulties accumulate in its path as the days pass. We may say in short that in Spain over the last 25 years, a sort of positive interaction has occurred between democracy and economic modernisation. Freedom has boosted economic creativity and the proven ability of the Spanish economy to confront successive competitive aims has contributed to the establishment of democracy.
