State Senator Shirley Huntley warned supporters in Jamaica, Queens on Saturday that she expects to be indicted and arrested on Monday but would not discuss the specific allegations.
Huntley's announcement comes almost nine months after one of her aides was charged with stealing $30,000 earmarked for a non-profit group that Huntley created. Three others were also charged.
"I just want to say to my constituents that I will be arrested on Monday. I will turn myself in," Huntley said.
"It's my understanding that it's a felony charge, but that's as much as I know," said Sally Butler, Huntley's attorney.
Huntley, who was first elected to the senate in 2006, is in a tough re-election battle and is facing City Councilman James Sanders in a September 13 primary.
In December, State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli announced the indictment of Huntley's aide and the others, saying that they falsely claimed they would use close to $30,000 in taxpayer money for workshops and conduct outreach to parents on the workings of the public school system.
In a statement, a spokesman for Schneiderman said that "The appropriate forum in which to respond to the Senator is a court of law, where the Attorney General will prove all facts according to the rules of evidence. Those facts will speak for themselves."
Butler insisted that Huntley would fight the charges in court.
"I'm not going to give you what my client's reaction was. I think that's for us to deal with once we get to court because she does want her day in court. She wants it, she's going to get it," the attorney said. Sanders released a statement in response to Huntley's indictment, saying, "In America a person is innocent until proven guilty. However, a culture of corruption has pervaded our state government in Albany." Huntley and her supporters said that the indictment is not going to slow her campaign down. "This is not about me, it's about the people I represent and I will continue to fight what I believe in. I am not going to tuck and run," Huntley said. "It shouldn't stop anything cause I think she's a lady of her word. She has done amazing work in southeast Queens," said Christina Winslow, a Jamaica resident.
Other constituents of Huntley were not so sure about the senator's chances.
"It's about to get interesting. I'm sure it will change the race. I'm sure it will," said Vearlane Edge, a Jamaica resident.

- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof pan. Season the chicken breasts, then brown for 1 min on each side. Remove from the pan, then set aside.
- Add the crème fraîche, mustards and tarragon to the pan, stirring to combine everything. Bring to a simmer, then return the chicken to the pan, spooning some of the sauce over the fillets. Lift into the oven, then bake for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through and sauce bubbling. Great with green beans and rice.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, April 2009
Comments, questions and tips
Lovely easy meal. Based on previous comments I used about 400ml double cream (had some needed using) and also added sliced mushrooms to the sauce. Will use more mustard next time though as couldn't really taste it. Served with potato wedges and veg. Three large breasts took 35min to cook. Delicious and moist. Will definitely do again.
Taking on-board previous comments I used 3 chicken breasts, 300ml creme fraiche and because of this added an extra tspn mustard.
Added a splash of water before placing in oven and cooked covered for 20 mins and uncovered for 5 mins-Perfect, tender and plenty of sauce!
I can only think some people had curdling due to the pan being too hot from sealing chicken, make sure lower heat when adding creme fraiche.
This is delicious, easy to make and the chicken remains moist and tender. I did find though that the sauce solidified in the oven so when I made it for a second time I reserved approximately half the sauce and reheated this to pour over the chicken when I served it. This worked very well and the finished dish looked like the photo and tasted lovely too.
This was really delicious, and even my fussy 2 year old sat with us and ate it. The only reason I did not give it 5* is because even though I followed the recipe, when I took the chicken out of the oven there was almost no sauce at all. Luckily I managed to save it by adding milk. Served with green beans and brown rice.
I made this in the oven without sealing the meat first. I used Total 0% Greek Yoghurt instead of creme fraiche, and it curdled and went like scrambled egg instead of a sauce....does anyone know why? If I could fix this problem I would make this again because the flavours were good, I just didn't have any sauce!
Absolutely gorgeous! I put onion and a bit of garlic in the oil before browning the chicken. I cut the breast in halved or three long pieces. I added also a bunch of filleted almonds to the creme freiche and the mustard (just dijon, I didnt have the other one). I did not use the oven, I just place back the chicken fillets and added a splash of water and left it for 25 mins. DELICIOUS! Excellent recipe.
I love this recipe, I use it to make chicken pie. I add vegetable stock and white wine to the creme friache mixture and reduce it. Then I put the chicken in a pie dish with any veg that is in the fridge that needs using up and top it with puff pastry cover with beaten egg and back for thirty minutes, delicious.
After browning the chicken, I deglazed the pan with white wine and reduced, before adding the creme fraiche etc. I used chicken thighs but just cooked for 20 mins in the oven with the lid on - didn't follow the advice to cook for another 20 with the lid off. Had lots of sauce and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Served with rice and green beans - absolutely delicious and so simple to make. This will become a firm favourite and a quick supper for a weeknight.

There comes a time in a man's life when he has to hold a steady job, settle down with a nice girl, buy a house and do other things that will finally make his mother back the hell off.
And so I am getting married next week.
Before anyone starts jumping off buildings, I want to reassure my female fans and strong gay following that one in three marriages ends in divorce. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics there is every chance I will be single again in 14 years' time — and given my blessed genetic heritage I think it's fair to say that I'll still be looking pretty good.
Having said that, I am getting married in a Catholic Church which makes the whole divorce thing a little more tricky. Even if the government stamps your paperwork when you finally make it to the job interview with St Peter you get sent straight to "the other place" — and I'm not talking about the Senate.
It is perhaps for this reason that prior to getting married the Catholic Church puts you through a series of sessions and workshops that are specifically designed to destroy your relationship before you get to the altar. And if they don't finish you off you can guarantee the caterers will.
And so my beloved and I found ourselves in a 10 hour course designed to promote stronger and more resilient relationships, a remarkably effective initiative because if you can make it through the 10 hours without resorting to domestic violence your relationship can survive anything.
Of course my beloved and I were a tad nervous before the first session but as it turned out this was totally unfounded. Within five minutes it was clear that the correct emotion was palpable blood-chilling terror.
The first class was a three-hour evening session early in the week in order to make it convenient for working people. Clearly they were not thinking of working journalists, whose only notion of a three-hour session was lunch at the Aurora.
Our instructor/mediator/intimacy facilitator was a lovely lady called Jane, who explained to us the key to a successful life partnership. The key, apparently, is to master a lexicon of pseudo-psychological jargon based upon putting random words together that had absolutely no relation to each other.
Thus we learned about "love pyramids", "listening foundations" and "emotion maps". Even things that you thought you might have actually experienced in what normal people call "the real world" were so heavily disguised that you couldn't actually recognise them. For example, there was no such thing as fighting, only "non-integrated conversation".
Having received this information we were dismissed and told to reconvene for an all-day workshop early that Sunday morning. How many drinking sessions could one church destroy?
That morning I had carefully calculated our arrival time to be late enough to shave precious minutes off the time we would actually have to spend in the course but early enough so that we wouldn't have to stay back. It was a technique I had perfected over years of professional life.
But as it turned out we left the house even later than anticipated, a situation which caused my beloved to "make a withdrawal from the blame bank" and attribute to my refusal to get out of bed.
Once we were on the road, however, we were making good time thanks to my consistently unappreciated driving skills. I was just making my way to Parramatta Road when my beloved said her friend had shown her a short cut that could get us there in half the time.
As anyone who has ever watched any movie ever will know, this is a scientifically proven pathway to certain death and possibly prolonged torture at the hands of Kathy Bates. And so I uttered those three small words that are the lifeblood of any loving relationship: Are you sure?
Fortunately my beloved was completely sure, right up until the point where we sailed past the turn-off and were confronted with the usual un-navigable labyrinth of one way streets that has made Sydney such a popular tourist destination for so many years.
By the time we arrived we were heavily engaged in a non-integrated conversation but there was no time for that, as we were immediately split up and sent to segregated groups — the Catholics are, after all, rather fond of that — to explore ways in which we might resolve conflict in a relationship.
As it turned out one of those ways is to tell a class full of incarcerated couples that the priest wasn't showing up for the afternoon session on family planning and so we could all leave at lunchtime.
My future bride and I looked at each other as though for the very first time and all of a sudden I realised that the counselling had actually worked: When we walked out of that classroom we had never been happier.
Disclaimer: The names of both the people and the jargon involved have been changed to protect the innocent, namely me. I still don't want to go to Hell.

Religion is mad, totally mad. Crazy crap joe, stay away from the place, sounds like a zoo!
NESLIHAN KUROSAWA says:
Hi Joe,
I think that entering the "love pyramid" is a totally cool expression! I only wonder if that is the reality or just a dream to be fulfilled by so many young hopefuls thinking they can get all that and so much more in a marriage? With more and more women over 27 choosing to stay single in our world, can we safely say that we could be suffering from a real shortage of "eligible men"? Or on the other hand most young women are becoming more educated, financially independent and loving every moment of it?
So my question to you to day "if love really enters the minds of many young women and men when they take that first step into a legally binding contract we tend to call a marriage"? Marriage could also be about a certain kind of chemistry and enjoying similar things in the beginning! But since all good things must come to an end with so many questions in mind such as taking care of the children and sharing of the household duties! So it is so much like being single but responsibility wise it tends to be slightly more than everyone had originally planned! Just like my great grand mother used to say the sole purpose of a marriage could be to have a family and children sharing the same genetics and DNA.
And it is definitely and uphill battle from then on, right? Only joking! I personally believe that the society and the family values put the greatest pressure on young hopefuls that they need to be married at a certain age. Especially in China, India and some Middle Eastern nations, if women aren't married by the age 25 they tend to be called "left over women", no offence intended! Everyone has their own version of what true love and happiness may mean to them! For the ones thinking about I personally believe that it just happens to be something you should at least try once in your life time. Kind regards.
dafall says:
Good luck Joe - just don't ask the tykes anything about their place being full of 'graven images' - they tend to get a bit touchy about it ....

"non-integrated conversation"
That is comedy gold.
I wonder if we can introduce some of these terms around The Punch.

All the best for you and Mrs H.
To quote a famous Vulcan : may you(s) live long and prosper.
Robert S McCormick says:
Joe, don't forget that many of this farce called "marriage" don't even last a year, let alone 14 of them. Now, Joe, either your lady friend is like you so it won't matter (tho' being alike spells doom for this joining) but just how long do you think she will put up with your scruffiness? Just watch out, Joe,'cos she will start trying to change you into her idea of "The Ideal Husband": Clean shaven, hair brushed & coiffed by some arty-farty "Hair Artist", the designer clobber - which reminds me - here in dear, old, snotty Adelaide some snotty-nosed, spoilt brat who says she "Will only wear 'designer' clothes" went through her wardrobe the other day & threw out any of them of which she had grown tired. No, not into St Vinnie's or the Salvo's bins but into her regular rubbish bin. To make matters worse some of those clothes still had the price labels (they don't have price tags - far too common, darling) on them for she had never worn them! This is some tart who thinks nothing of paying $1000-plus for two-strap sandals (thongs)!
Step back, Joe, & run like mad because we just like you as you are. Having never met you & like the scruffy look all we hope is you use a deodorant, shower at least once a day & always wear clean undies.
Under the dragon-lady she'll have you using Chanel deo, Yardley or Lizzie Arden soaps, Calvin What'sisname undies (they must be the ugliest & most boring undies ever made) Then it'll be the new Merc or Beamer. instead of the old banger you currently have.
As I say, Joseph (See!! You've had a name change already) you have been warned. Run & run fast but don't sign that useless, very expensive bit of paper for when the inevitable break comes you'll lose the bloody lot!!!
Have a Wonderful Wedding, Joseph!! It's the last bit of Independence & happiness the stats say you will have.
Gregg says:
You really are one of those JIT guys aren't you Joe, last minute lessons for the licence eh! and that emotional map, that the one with the route to deepest Africa is it?
You should fit in well, especially with the Afro hairdo.All the best for hopefully a great day Joe and just get out a map to plan the route to the church.
Fed Up says:
It's all gravey.
When you get busted for having that second family in Marrickville….that's when you start to think about Hell.Oh!
Greg says:
The Jewish mothers that I know don't approve of their sons marrying Shiksas, so how will this make your mother "back the hell off"?
W J Craig (Mrs) says:
Joe, don't pay any attention to those nay-sayers! marry your lady!
My Harry, he's dead - no he did not 'pass away' he died - was very like you, scruffy, long-haired, bearded (sort of) a bit daggy in the clothes department - you know just look in the mirror!!
We always had a great laugh when we went out 'cos there was I all dressed up, painted nails, make-up & there was my Harry beside me, no matter how hard he tried (sometimes I wondered if he actually did) he always looked like you: As if he had been dragged through a blackberry patch three or four times.
He said that if he had tarted (his word) himself up it would have detracted from his "lovely lidy" (yes, he had an old-fashioned Aussie accent). But there was one thing about him he was always scrupulously clean & smelt nice!
Those days are long since gone but though I am now a bit wrinkly (I'm now 85 coming up 86) my beloved Grandson Jason, he will, unless they change the Law, never get married, sees to it that I don't let my standards slip & though the gloves & hat have gone , this latter replaced with one of those lovely silvery brolly's the Anti-Cancer people used to sell, I still take the time & effort & as Jason says " Oh! Nan, you still show a nice pair of ankles, have another Red" - No, he doesn't mean one of those funny pills!
Marry your lady but don't change a thing about yourself.
Succour says:
You mean your taken? Oh, I thought you were gay, Im unfriending you.
If your getting married in the Catholic church don't you have to go to several lead meetings where the priest says, are you sure you want to still do this, your still pretty good looking,
Your still way too young. The longer you leave it, the less chance the divorce at 50.
Please sell your photos to Womans Weekly. Ill buy the magazine.
ps.Have her eggs frozen in case you want your own team Punch later,
Daniel says:
Yes I got married in an Anglican church we really only did this as this will look good in the wedding album. The sessions are bizarre and the 4 hour internet online session was weird also. The 4 hour weekend sessions were too much also. What we do for love guess.
Gregg says:
One important thing Joseph, especially with those Egyptian buildings side to your love.
Yep, I imagine you'll be scoring another and she will not be all wrapped up and musty like either.
But be a good lad and remember her birthday too and she'll be all wrapped up in you!
ex altar boy, still intact says:
my dad paid $3 dollars for a suit from the same store.Yes vinnies, for his grandaughters wedding.And you would not have picked it..
I like the "bag the micks" humour..So here's my contribution.proddo dogs stink like frogs dod do da..As for the love pyramid stuff, you must have gone to a newly trendy captured parish or else the spinster with nothing to do and eyes on the priest, is scouting the landscape.truly and I BELIEVE.YES ,I DO!
Cath says:
Serious advice here Joe Hildebrand - if you don't believe, don't get married in the CatholicChurch. The priest doesn't marry you anyway, he just blesses the marriage - you and your future wife administer the sacrament to each other. So don't get married in a Catholic Church if you don't believe; it is so disrespectful and a bad start to a marriage. It is really sad-making that a guy like you who is (quite justifiably and hilariously) always pointing out the foibles and hypocritical actions of others is going to engage in a massive piece of hypocrisy himself on his wedding day.
Shane From Melbourne says:
"Love Pyramid"- for a minute I thought Joe was embroiled in a polyamory sex scandal…..
ZSRenn says:
Great Article Joe. I am looking forward to the upcoming Articles
"We are not having a baby, We're conceiving a human being which may or not have a specific gender described under section 69 of the PC act of 2014 as having male genitalia."
"We are not having an argument, my spouse described to be a human being which may or not have a specific gender described under section 69 of the PC act of 2014 as having female genitalia. thinks that I don't listen or care for her anymore and said human being which may or not have a specific gender described under section 69 of the PC act of 2014 as having male genitalia.'
"We are not getting a divorce, we are negotiating our way through the separation of our income and possessions including said human being which may or not have a specific gender described under section 69 of the PC act of 2014 as having male genitalia."
and "I am not a loser; I just gave all of my money to a solicitor to gain access to said human being which may or not have a specific gender described under section 69 of the PC act of 2014 as having male genitalia."
TheRealDave says:
Joe, you are an inspiration to all men everywhere with heads like bashed in grapefruit. You hold on tight to any woman that actually wants to spend great lengths of time with you - you hear!
Congratulations on 'joining the club'. The rest of us will wipe away a tear and have a silent beer in memory of your lost happiness.
I have to go now, its pissing down raining outside but the wife is making me shovel the dog crap out the back into a garbage bag….and then I have to repair a cupboard…..
Ross says:
I am a punch commenter: insert line only marginally relevant to article then add tedious link to real point about hopeless Gillard Government.
NSS says:
Congrats Joe. I sincerely hope you and your "beloved" are happy in your marriage.
If I may offer a little advice from someone who has managed to stay wed for quite a number of years? (Who isn't a priest nor a jargon queen.) Remember to be kind, remember to be considerate of her feelings, even when your logical male brain is telling you to intervene. Often women don't want "Mr Fixit" to show up, we just want a supportive ear. We women can usually solve our own problems, but we do need to vent.
To your future wife, I would offer this. Learn to ignore the little things Joe does which drive you nuts (and their will be some, believe me! ha!) and be kind and supportive of him too. Pick your battles wisely.
Finally, to both of you, respect and trust are vital. Keep them intact and you won't go far wrong.
pa_kelvin says:
Your headline banner *I'm not getting married, I'm entering the love pyramid* could have a whole different meaning if there was a *house of ill repute* called the *Love Pyramid*....
All the best for the big day Joe…..
Zac the heterosexual says:
"And so my beloved"........ this is way better than that inner city-latte/PC jargon "partner".
People don't stop driving cars because of accidents or accidents may happen. And they also make sure it is in their name. The same thing applies to marriage. So that piece of paper matters!

Want to see it
I'm a professional painter and did many paintings to U2 songs. Morleigh said many profound things about how the transformation from one artform into another works. I'm absolutly sure that one can make an autonomous painting which carrys the essence of the music it is connected to.. So why shouldn't you be able to do it the other way round and make a soundtrack or a dance performance to a painting?..I really would like to see it! Will this performance come to Munich, Germany?

Dancing in Paint
This sounds wonderful. I wish I could fly over from the US to see it.
A professor once said that the marks in my painting, a still life in white and grey, looked like they were made while dancing.
Thank you for the great interview. I loved the thought of the dream at the end. Maybe the performance will be like a dream that will continue in his own dreams. I'm sure it will be beautiful. A very kind birthday gift.

Great synthesis of the arts
Louis le Brocquy is an amazing artist whose paintings are very touching, atmospheric and haunting. The works I saw are clearly figurative, but they also have an abstract side, because instead of just reflecting reality the artist invents his own sort of reality full of mystery and subtle shades. All pictures truly express the whole complexity of human emotion. With "Cold Dream Colour" Morleigh Steinberg and The Edge create a very strong connection between different sorts of art, because every great painting contains a sort of movement that can be transformed into performance and sound. And using things like bottles and a glass harmonica, The Edge reveals his willingness to compose some experimental and extraordinary music once again. I wish I could see this outstanding project!
scout6 - 10 November, 2010
When I first heard of this last week I went and looked through le Brocguy's body of work and was very intrigued by all of it.
I felt movement in many of his painting. Not action so much, but dfinitely movement and I can totally see how they lend themselves to dance.
Wish I could see it!

Huskies unable to tame 'Cats
The Northern Michigan Wildcats were a tough team for the SCSU Huskies to tame at the NHEC over the weekend. The 'Cats took down the dogs in a pair of non-conference games in St. Cloud, MN.
Friday night the Huskies were able to light the lamp first when senior Ben Hanowski found the net halfway through the first period, assists on the play went to Drew LeBlanc and Jonny Brodzinski. The second period was not friendly as the Wildcats scored two goals before SCSU's Cory Thorson found the back of the net off the stick of Nick Oliver. It was all tied up for a few minutes before the Huskies allowed a power play goal for NMU to take a 3-2 lead. It was the first power play goal the team allowed since Nov. 30 and was the eventual game winning goal. The Wildcats scored three unanswered goals in the third period to seal the deal on Friday night by a final score of 6-2. It was SCSU freshman goalie Rasmus Reijola's first career start.
The teams met again on Saturday night for game two of the series. It was a tight battle between the dogs and the cats until midway through the second period when Brodzinski found the back of the net giving the Huskies a 1-0 lead. Nick Jensen and LeBlanc each had an assist on the play. It was the only time SCSU was able to score all game despite having 38 shots in the contest. The Huskies held the Wildcats to 21 shots but two of them were able to find the back of the net. The first NMU goal was scored as the buzzer rang to end the second period. The Wildcats sealed the deal halfway through the third period to earn the 2-1 victory and a road sweep. Sophomore goaltender Ryan Faragher ended the night with 19 saves. This series marked the second time the Huskies have been swept this season. The opening weekend of the season when the Huskies traveled to University of New Hampshire was the first. It was the first time SCSU has been swept at home since the 2010-2011 season when Colorado College took down SCSU 3-0 on Dec. 10 and 5-2 on December 11.
This upcoming weekend the Huskies have a bye before returning to WCHA play next weekend at home against Denver to wrap up the ten game home stand. Over the weekend the Huskies fell from the top position in the WCHA when Nebraska-Omaha swept Colorado College. The Huskies now sit in second place with 18 points and a 9-5-0 conference record. Overall on the season the huskies are 12-10-0.
Other notes from the weekend:
- Ben Hanowski notched one point in the two games giving him 97 on his career. That's just three shy of the 100-point club.
- Drew LeBlanc was able to get on the scoring sheet both nights with an assist in each game. He continues to lead the nation in assist with 24 on the season. The next closest man on the charts is UNO's Ryan Walters who has 20. LeBlanc currently owns an 11 game point streak. He is ranked 11th in the record book for SCSU points notching with 127 career points thus far.
- Jonny Brodzinski now has a seven game point streak after notching an assist and a goal over the weekend. The freshman is one of SCSU's top scorers with nine goals and six assists on the season.
- Freshmen Kalle Kossila was held off the scoring sheet this weekend. It's the first weekend time since Nov. 9-10 that he did not score a goal or notch an assist.
- The Huskies were unsuccessful on the eight power play opportunities over the weekend.

iMac Intel 27" EMC 2309 and 2374 Optical Drive Fan Replacement
iMac Intel 27" EMC 2309 and 2374 Optical Drive Fan.
- Author: Andrew Bookholt
- Difficulty: Moderate
Replace a broken optical drive fan to keep temperatures down.
- Glass Panel 2 steps
- Display 7 steps
- Optical Drive 4 steps
- Optical Drive Fan 2 steps
Edit Step 1 — Glass Panel ¶
Stick a suction cup near each of the two top corners of the glass panel.
To attach the suction cups we sell, first position the suction cup with the movable handle parallel to the face of the glass panel (as highlighted in the second picture).
While lightly holding the suction cup against the glass, raise the movable handle until it is parallel with the other handle (as highlighted by the third picture).
If your suction cups refuse to stick, try cleaning both the glass panel and the suction cup with a damp soft, lint-free cloth. (Dampen with distilled water, and if needed, an equal ratio of distilled water and white vinegar for best results.)
Edit Step 2 ¶
Gently lift the glass panel perpendicular to the face of the LCD enough to clear the steel mounting pins attached along the underside of the top edge of the glass panel.
Pull the glass panel away from the lower edge of the iMac and carefully set it aside.
During reinstallation, be sure to meticulously clean the inside of the glass panel and the face of the LCD as any dust or fingerprints trapped inside will be annoyingly visible when the machine is turned on.
Edit Step 4 ¶
Carefully lay the iMac stand-side down on a flat surface.
Due to tight tolerances, you will have to use a thin hooked tool to lift the display out of the outer case. As seen in the third picture, we made one out of a bent paperclip.
Use a thin hooked tool to lift one side of the top edge of the display by its steel outer frame.
After lifting the top edge of the display on one side, hold it out of the outer case while you use a hooked tool to lift the other side. A pencil or pen can be placed under the top edge of the display, parallel to the top edge and extending past the edge of the computer, to keep the first side propped up while lifting the second.
Do not lift the top edge of the display out of the outer case too far, as several short ribbon cables still connect the two components.
Edit Step 5 ¶
Use a pair of tweezers to pull the vertical sync ribbon cable out of its socket on the LED driver board near the top left corner of your iMac.
On some iMacs this may not be a ribbon cable but four separate, very fine and very fragile wires. Be very careful, if the tweezers slip off the plug, you will very likely pull a wire out of the assembly.
Edit Step 15 ¶
Remove the single T10 Torx screw securing the optical drive fan to the outer case.
Pull the optical drive fan away from the outer case to lift it off the three plastic posts around its perimeter.
Carefully maneuver the optical drive fan out of the iMac, minding any cables that may get caught.
Comments Comments are onturn off
You can easily lift the glass panel off the magnets with only your fingernails (or something thin like a credit card or a guitar pick). No need to buy suction cups you will only use once.
Nick Caron, · Reply
Yes, you don't need the specific suction cups to remove the display cover - it's held on by magnets, and if you start at the center by the iSight you can work out to the edges and remove it. I had an iPhone screen suction cup around and it helped with balancing the screen when you pull it out fully, but by no ways is it required.
Thanks!!! Worked excellently.
I used a plunger (clean first ;-) to get the screen off, and http://exirion.net/ssdfanctrl/ for fan control.
Then, i did not take out the whole display and left it in the hinges on the bottom side and held it up with two small cardboard boxes. Easy enough to disconnect the hdd then.
I replaced with an ssd, put that into a ssd enclosure. Had to drill an extra hole in it to fasten the pins that hold it in place.
Used Carbon Copy Cloner to make an image from the old hdd, with the sad connected via usb. Checked it of it booted via System Preferences > Startup Disk. It worked so the took the imac apart and replaced the disk. Booted, everything was working as always, only faster!
I'm replacing my optical drive too. what exactly needs to be plugged into the SSD? I don't have the kit - as I am not sure one is required if I buy something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056OB...
Can you please advise? Can I do it with this piece, or do I need to get the entire bracket kit?
Be careful not to lose these screws when they are unthreaded. Use tweeters to grab them before removing the Torx driver.
To prevent screws close to the magnets to leave your screwdriver, use a straw to encapsulate your screws. This is especially useful when putting them back. See pictures for details: http://cjoint.com/?CLCpN1nmK4M and http://cjoint.com/?CLCpOy6aF9G
Can I purchase this cable separately?
After removing the display, I noticed a high pitched whine coming from the machine, different loudness for different levels of display brightness. Reading up on it, it seems that the problem is with the vertical sync cable (and this is a well-known issue with Apple with new machines, too). So be careful when reinserting this cable!
Adam Hintz, · Reply
I noticed that the vertical sync cable seems to have been updated since the guide was produced. It now has a more normal plug and socket and 'regular' wires instead of the flat ribbon cable shown here. I used narrow nosed pliers instead of tweezers to unclip it as I was afraid that just pulling on the wires could have broken them.
WARNING: Take extreme care when removing these wires as mine were not a ribbon cable but individual tiny wires. I removed them cautiously with tweezers OK but when re-inserting, one of the wires came off. Obviously someone had been in here before.
I changed the HD yesterday and when I reinstalled the Display I had the same problem then Peter Sinclair. I started to panic first. But then I reinstalled the Pannel without re-insterting the cable at all and nevertheless my iMac works perfectly since 14 hours now. I'm really confused!
My vertical sync ribbon cable had two of the four contacts bent back, it may even have been like this originally. I straightened them out as best I could under a magnifying glass, and after reinserting, everything is working OK. Seems this cable is not particularly critical. Also, I used needle nose pliers for this and the other connectors, I can't get enough grip with tweezers.
Tweezers didn't work for me due to the angle and lack of grip (they kept slipping and I was concerned about squeezing any harder). I just used my fingers to grab the connector as close to the connection as possible for both removal and insertion and it worked just fine. I have big hands and meaty fingers, so this method should work fine for anyone.
Step 7 MAY be better done prior to Step 6. 7's cord comes tight before there is enough lift room to get to Step 6's plug in my opinion.
The connector has a simple locking mechanism, essentially a ridge on the top where the thumb is placed in the picture. If you push down gently there the latch raises and you can pull the cable out.

NOTE! The internal video connector on the logic board is quite fragile - proceed with extra care when disconnecting. There are many postings of Mac users who have broken the display connector and are then left with quite a challenging proposition to replace it. Here is the link to one such thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.p....

This step is not necessary. I have problems with the pulling out, and found that it's not necessary to out it in this case.
Agreed. Leave it plugged in and peel the buffer tape and temp sensor off the optical drive assembly while it's still in the computer.
What problems did you have?

Patriots' winning streak comes to an end
The Patriots' volleyball team suffered its first loss of the season Tuesday.
Fort Dorchester lost 2-1 to defending Region 8-AAAA champion Bluffton during a match in North Charleston. The Bobcats improved their record to 12-7 with a 2-0 mark in the region while the Patriots fell to 15-1, 3-1.
"We knew Bluffton would be our primary challenge this year and this match would be important," Fort Dorchester coach Tarshie Burrell said. "We really wanted the win and our girls played with a lot of heart. We came out a little cold, but showed some potential in the second game. We just need to keep working. Hopefully the butterflies are out of our stomach now and we will play better the next time we see them."
The Bluffton hitters demonstrated their power right from the start but the Bobcats also scored several points off tips. After Bluffton cruised to a 25-11 win in the first game, Fort Dorchester took charge and kept the Bobcats at bay to earn a 25-23 win in the second game.
However, Bluffton finished as strong as it opened, jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the third game en route to a 25-12 win.
The teams will meet again in Bluffton on Oct. 17.
Next week, Fort Dorchester hosts Goose Creek at 6 p.m. Oct. 1 and travels to Cane Bay Oct. 3.

Big Star Vintage Liv Boot Stretch Jean 2 2
Wow...tight! Normally I wear a 26 in Big Star Vintage with at least 1% spandex, so getting these jeans in a 26 was definitely stupid. I should NOT have bought these in such a small size, if at all. The amount of spandex in these jeans is so small I could barely sit down for a while. I had to loan these to my skinny sister and have her loosen them up for me.Given that the arrangement between me and her has been working out fine, plus I'm exercising, the jeans can stay with us. However, they are still NOT stretching out after 5 months which means if you have a butt, don't waste your money on these. Rather, buy a light-wash pair of Big Stars that has more than 0.5% spandex.Of course, even after shrinking and re-stretching these jeans nearly every week, the color has stayed perfectly, and the quality of the product is still as if I'd bought the jeans yesterday. August 19, 2013
Love the Wash! I REALLY, surprisingly, like the wash on this Liv. I always go with a darker was, but lately I've been mixing it up a little - besides a November cropped skinny that I bought recently, this is definitely my lightest pair of jeans. All day I worried about getting something on them, 'cause anything would show. But, I didn't, and I really enjoyed wearing these.I did not go down a size, and I haven't with my last couple pairs, but with this one I probably should have. The waist was where mine were tightest, and that's where they stretched the most. They did loosen on the back of my legs. I just felt like whenever I bent over I was going to flash someone. The bottom on these felt less slim than some of my other livs, too.I got the long (even though half the time I have have to have the XL in Big Star) and it was fine. Probably couldn't wear them with a heel or wedge, though. Over all I'm really happy with these :) February 8, 2013

Daily Life Work: How to Deal with BAITERs
The goal of these workbook questions is to continue the conversation and go deeper into the lesson. Your answers are private; no one else can see them.
April 26, 2013
Dr. Phil's first step in getting rid of the bad guys in your life is to make a list of the people you interact with regularly and what your gut tells you about them.
Keeping in mind how Dr. Phil defines BAITERs—Backstabbers, Abusers, Imposters, Takers, Exploiters, Reckless—can you identify from your list anyone who fits that description?
Do you have people in your life who try to engage you as a confidant and talk about other people? Who are they? How likely are they to be talking about
to other people?
As Dr. Phil says, abuse isn't limited to physical abuse. Has someone abused your trust? Your finances? Your goodwill?
Now that you can identify the BAITERs in your life, what will you do to avoid being harmed by them in the future?

Justin Bartels - Impression (2012)
I can't not reblog this.
This is the best thing on the Internet. We undress everyday and it shows us how confined we are. Those imprints show how uncomfortable we are throughout each day just to impress other people. We create prisons in our own clothes. We are a prisoner in a socially constructed idea of what is beautiful.

Paint cabinets to brighten a shabby kitchen. Choose an oil-based paint or a water-borne acrylic enamel. Both create tough, durable surfaces that'll take hard wear.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine
Plan on two weekends; one for cleaning, sanding and priming and the second for two coats of paint.
A good paint job requires thorough prep work, patience and attention to detail.
Top quality brushes, primer and paint will cost $60 - $80.
A careful sanding and good primer set the stage for a smooth, durable top coat.
If you want to give new life to old wooden kitchen cabinets, painting is a great choice. You have several good paint options. For the best adhesion and a harder, more durable finish, an oil-based (alkyd) paint is tough to beat. But you must be willing to put up with the strong odor and solvent cleanup, along with a longer drying and curing time than you'd get if you used an ordinary water-based paint. Plus, the color may yellow over time.
The best solution to avoid the hassle of oil-based paint is a new-technology waterborne acrylic enamel paint (such as Satin Impervo by Benjamin Moore) that delivers the good flow, leveling and hardening characteristics of an oil-based paint without the odor and long drying time. These new paints dry fast and clean up with soap and water. The main challenge is a smooth finish, but pros say that if the waterborne acrylic enamel is applied heavily enough and worked in small sections, it will flatten out nicely. Avoid a dry brush and going over sections already starting to dry.
Don't forget other keys to success when painting cabinets—surface preparation (degreasing, cleaning and sanding), priming (use a top-quality primer), brushing (use the best-quality brush for the type of paint) and drying (follow label directions).

I have my own decorating business and remodel kitchens to give a more cost effective update to help my customers to help keep them within budget, I highly recommend you use milk paint. I prefer General Finishes. Woodcraft is where I purchase my paint. It's more expensive than latex paint you find at local hardware stores. Unlike latex paint, milk paint adheres to wood surface much better and the longer its on the cabinets the more durable the cabinet becomes. It's non-toxic, however has a low odor. You can use a top coat made by General Finishes also. I like to use a sprayer when painting cabinets and furniture. Make sure to strain milk paint if you plan on taking the same approach. If using a brush to paint cabinets, than this step is not necessary. Good luck!!

I did a huge remodel with the contractor from h_ _ _. I had custom kitchen cabinets built for my "dream" (nightmare now) kitchen and the cabinet guy painted them white using lacquer. Bottom line is that the paint is lifting and peeling.. this began about 3 weeks after paint was applied I.have had them painted twice by the same cabinet guy and have the same problem. Contractor, cabinet maker and painter have all left my state and I am left with a very stressful kitchen remodel. Additionally (no pun intended) the white painted cabinet in one of our bathrooms is now cracking like a spider web...someone PLEASE advise me how to repaint them. I would appreciate the help! Thanks
September 27, 10:28 AM [GMT -5]
I should have read this before starting! So now I'm at a decision-making point. I used two coats of a paint and primer (in one) on my kitchen cabinets and left them to dry. Two days later, I pulled them away from the appliances they were leaning against and the new paint/primer peeled away. I took a closer look at the paint/primer I used and it is 100% acrylic. The peeled parts aren't very large and are on the internal side of the cabinet doors. So... Can I try to touch up the newly-peeled areas and then cover everything with polyurethane? If so, what kind is most suggested? Is there a better recommendation? Or should I start over with an appropriate product, and note this down as a lesson learned in trying to save time? Thank you! Sarah

I have cabinets that the doors are wood but the frames are laminate or even a adhesive paper. How would I prep and paint them?
February 19, 7:26 PM [GMT -5]
I painted my kitchen cabinets BEFORE reading these great tips. Big mistake :) Trust me, the prep work and good brushes/rollers mean everything!
February 21, 5:40 PM [GMT -5]
The step by step really doesn't give us much info i.e. suggested clener, sand paper grit or even info on how to make the four board with the four nails. What gives
February 07, 10:08 PM [GMT -5]
Jack, milk paint is a good choice for durability and a country finish appearance. The issue with milk paint is lack of stain resistance, it needs a topcoat to be safe. I would use General Finishes Milk Paint and Waterborne Polyurethane since they are the only company I know that make both and they are completely compatable together which is a concern when you try to use other manufacturers products together. It is a nice finish.
February 07, 3:50 PM [GMT -5]
My wife wants to paint our beautifully varnished kitchen cabinets. I hate the idea, but we agreed years ago that she is in charge of the inside of the house. I have told her to degrease, clean carefully, scuff with 150 grit sandpaper, prime with good primer, and then paint her top coat. She wants an antique look, our house is a cabin style in the woods. I think milk paint would look good. Any comments?
February 07, 2:45 PM [GMT -5]
Jamie, in order to repair your cabinets I would use touch-up on any small chips that can been easily repaired. Then I would put a protective coat of waterborne polyurethane (satin finish) on top of your existing paint. This will do 2 things, it will put a furniture finish on the cabinet doors and the polyurethane will protect the paint finish underneath and prevent it from likely chipping more in the future. A good easy finish to apply is General Finishes Waterborne Polyurethane available at Woodcraft and Rockler, its more expense than the big box store brands, but worth every penny as it is very easy to work with and is extremely durable. Good luck on your repair.
February 07, 2:34 PM [GMT -5]
I love the good practical advice from TFH on this project, it is invaluable to those doing this for the 1st time. I have done this professionally and have learned a few tricks that can really make this a great finish. First, build small nail-boards with 4 nails to enable you to finish both sides at once flat so you eliminate drips and runs caused by hanging the doors, simply start with back facing up and spray and flip. Second, please do not use either oil or waterborne latex paint, they are not a furniture grade quality finish. You need to use a pigmented laquer. The best and easiest one to work with is ML Campbell Agualente, it is a very tough and durable waterborne (no odor) that is made specifically for high end furniture finishing... and can be matched in any color. Spray minimum of 2-3 coats lightly sanding in between. Lastly, buy the little HVLP tubine sprayer from Harbor Freight or Woodcraft, the one with the long hose ($50-$90). STAY AWAY from the cheap sprayers that have a turbine on top of a cup, they will absolutely break your heart. One more thing, if you old finish is really nasty or if you have repaired with wood filler, spray a primer coat of BIN 123 Shellac Based Primer and sand when dry before finish coats.

Curious, I took on this project last fall. I took two full weeks to make sure I did every step from degreasing, sanding, cleaning prep, to priming and painting. My hardware stores have quit carrying Oil based paint stating a new OH law. So I used a water based paint. As I feared, it is already starting to chip, as we have a computer that the kids use daily and they sit up right next to the cabinets getting extra wear. My question is, do you think I could, clean, & lightly sand & use your recommendations in the article using the enamel paint, to remedy what's occuring, or am i going to have to start from scratch? Any advice or direction you could supply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jamie

the best way is to sand the cabnets lightly just rough them up a little, the start by applying a good cabnet paint with a primer in it, use a water base paint, there are plenty, i perfer valspar, apply thin coats, it will take you longer, but the end results will be worth the wait, always allow to dry over night before putting your next coat on, two coats will be a plenty, in some cases three coats are needed, always use a good quality paint brush.i like a high glose, our cabnrts look new when i finashed, also replaced them with new handles, which gave the cabnets a new look, hope this helps, happy painting, tony

Lincoln sought advice from his six-man Cabinet on whether or not creation of the new state was constitutional, and came up with a 3-3 tie.
"Lincoln was the tie-breaker," Holzer said. "He didn't have the kind of counseling that today's presidents have. And there was no polling to see whether Congress or the public was good with the idea of West Virginia statehood."
There was some political capital to be gained by favoring statehood, Holzer said.
"He realized that the prospect of having another state with two more Republican senators would help him pass a Constitutional amendment on slavery and get the appropriations needed to pursue the war," he said. "A little political calculus was involved."
The West Virginia Humanities Council is sponsoring Holzer's Charleston appearance. The lecture is free and open to the public.
