Avoiding Neck and Shoulder Pain
Do you wake up in the morning and stretch in an effort to relieve your stiff neck and shoulders? Have you ever had them lock up with no warning? If you have, you are not alone. It is reported that as many as seventy percent of all people will have neck pain at some time in their lives. This pain will often also involve the shoulder area.
Neck pain caused by stress is the major cause of most headaches. These can be safely treated with little more than a warm bath and some quiet time.
Giant Snails Stalking Texas?
There are reports circulating on the web and via email that a giant African land snail had been discovered by a woman in her Houston, Texas garden. The reports further state that authorities suspect that more might be found in the area and pose a potential "DEADLY THREAT".

Time to Consider Surge Protection for the Home or Office
Is there anything more frustrating than when the power goes out? Electricity is one of the most important parts that make up our daily life. But, if not controlled, electricity can damage property and even take lives. With all the thunderstorms we have in this area, a quality surge protector is a necessity.
We are blessed to get to live so close to the ocean, but we also get to witness nature's awesome power at regular intervals. Be it a summer thunderstorm or a tropical storm or hurricane we see our fair share of lightning strikes. It used to be that all you could do was pray that you didn't get a hit. But thanks to modern technology, you can be protected from lightning strike damage.
Today, your home of businesses can be protected from the damages associated with voltage spikes, shorting or blown transformers, surges and worst of all, lightning.
For proper protection, your home should have three layers of surge protection. The first is a surge protector at the Main Service Entrance. Then a second surge protector is placed at the panel box. Lastly, there should be a surge protector at the device you want to protect.
A Bailout in FHA's Future?
The FHA, struggling to manage a large number of delinquent mortgages, will likely need a $943 million taxpayer bailout, the administration said in President Barack Obama's fiscal 2014 budget proposal released Wednesday. After almost 80 years of insuring mortgages, it would the first time the FHA has needed a bailout.
According to FHA Commissioner Carol Galante, the agency "might" be able to avoid taking aid from the U.S. Treasury to fill the projected budget hole. The agency will decide if it needs the funds by September 30.
"FHA, while still under stress from legacy loans, has made significant progress and is on a sound fiscal path forward," Galante told reporters on a conference call. "We are continuing to act and do everything possible to ensure that the impacts of these legacy loans...are corrected as soon as possible."
WARNING!!! Beware of Email Airline Ticket Scam
Email users are being victimized by a phishing attack targeting US airlines. NorthWest, Delta Airlines, MidWest Air Group, and American Airlines have been used by theives to carry out phishing scams across the country. The scam uses email messages in the name of the airlines urging recipients to confirm an airline ticket they never purchased.
The email is made to look like it's from the "Buy ticket online" service offered by the airline. It gives details of the purchased ticket and asks the recipient to confirm the purchase by printing out the invoice and the ticket by clicking on an attachment in the mail.
Unsuspecting users who click on the attachment download a malicious program onto their computers. The malware goes by the name "Trojan.Zbot-1715" and it spells trouble.
This malware enables the thieves to scan and obtain confidential information like credit card access codes, social security numbers and banking passwords. It can also allow remote access to the victims machines.
The airlines say there are things inside the mail which should warn people of the scam. The emails are written with poor English; smelling mistakes and mistakes in grammar. Secondly, the airlines say regular users should be aware of the strange format in which the itineraries are presented.
Northwest Airline's Vice President for e-commerce, Al Lenza, reaffirms:
Customers should be aware that these e-mails are not coming from the airline. NWA itineraries are specific and contain information that customer will recognize. If the format does not look familiar to you, and you have not recently purchased a ticket, do not open the attachment. Delete the e-mail right away.
Those who receive the emails should delete it without tinkering with the attachment inside. They should also look into their card statements to make certain no unfamiliar payments were made from it.

The Great Cable Debate: Go Cordless, Don't Go Cordless...But What's Best?
This whole thing started for me after we got a almost $300 cable bill the other day. I sat down and thought about just how much time I actually watched TV as opposed to other things like the internet and I thought to my self, this is insane!
So I talked to my brother (the main TV watcher in the house) and at the very mentioned of not having cable he freaked out and clutched the remote like a over protective mother gorilla . At that point I realized this might be harder than I thought...
The debate of weather or not to ditch traditional TV cable services in favor of internet alternatives has been gaining speed over the last few years as more people are "cutting the cord" on their cable providers and using websites like Netflix and Hulu, or internet connectors like Roku boxes to meet their entertainment needs. While reports say the tide hasn't quite reached the turning point yet, cable companies are looking over their shoulders a little more each day.
And I can see why. I can't count how many people I know that rely solely on the internet for in-home entertainment. My sweetheart hasn't had cable in almost 3 years and hasn't missed it once! Between Netflix, Redbox, and iTunes we have all the TV and movies we could ever need-without the hassle of dealing with the cable companies. The only downside being that we have to wait a few hours for brand new shows to be available.
For instance, He purchased a season pass on iTunes for AMC's The Walking Dead and we get the whole season-just delayed 8 hours. So whenever a new episode airs on television, we get it around 8 hours later. But we only have time to sit and watch it once a week anyway so it works for us.
On the other hand my brother professes his love for cable, but yet, constantly complains about it. We have HTC (Horry Telephone Company) and the package includes around 200 + channels, pay-per-view, and "On Demand" services. Which sounds nice in theory but when the "On Demand" feature refuses to load for the fourth month in a row, new movies take forever to arrive, and more than 45 of the channels never get watched, I just can't understand the appeal. I mean besides the fact that you can flip through the channels what is there?
His response: "I like to be able to flip around and record my shows." OK I can level with him 50/50. Being able to flip around has its appeal every now and then, but why record one episode at a time when you have access to whole entire series (and all their episodes, in order!) at your finger tips?
His response: "what if I don't want to pick and choose? I don't want that kind of commitment!What if I am just board and want to just flip around? And what about the Outdoor channel?!"
A comeback almost slipped off my tongue before my brain registered this has a valid concern and caused me to bite it back. I guess I understand where he's coming from. At the moment, internet entertainment is very individualized. Even though you can "browse" (the internet version of "flipping") through lots of different categories of movies, shows, etc across the different sites, you do have to pick and choose what you are going to watch. But then again you don't have to deal with as many commercials, especially if you purchase a season of a show on iTunes.
Which brings me to the fact that there is still a cost involved but in my opinion its way lower than cable. Say you have a subscription to Netflix (the one where you can instantly stream movies) that's $16 a month, and in that same month you buy a season pass to a couple of your favorite shows at $45 a pop.
That brings you to $106 total for the month. But then its only $16 the next month because you've already purchased the shows you watch for the year. Assuming that you will buy only two more shows during the next year, plus your internet service bill every month (let's say $80 bucks, your yearly entertainment total comes to: $1,332 dollars.
Now say you have cable and you maybe order 3 movies every month from pay-per-view or "On Demand," using my bill as a reference ($250 dollars,) your total would be: $3,000 dollars. That's nuts!
Now I'm not a statistics writer or a mathematician so those figures are just gross estimates-but still. It just seems like a lot to me to shell out this much money every month for TV I don't really even watch. I mean I am being robbed people! Everything I do is on the internet. I get my news, my music, my mail, my banking, most of my shopping from the web.
And all I have to deal with is the occasional "website temporarily down" error or a lively (he he) argument with a websites help contact via e-mail. I would just as soon hook my TV up to the internet connection and be completely satisfied.
But maybe that's just me. Maybe it would work for me because my needs are different. Not only am I comfortable using the internet, I don't watch that much TV, and when I do its for very specific shows or events. And with sites like YouTube that do live broadcast's of world events (like the Presidential inauguration) I just don't need cable.
My brother and others like him are just apparently different. They might not like dealing with the internet for everything. The idea of being in so much control over what they choose to watch is just a worry they could not care less to have. And they probably like being able to talk to a real person on the phone when the stupid cable doesn't work-Because I guess I am the only one that thinks talking to under-paid operators that have no patience and only one or two answers for every single problem is a torture from the 9th layer of hell.
Plus, due to equally internet un-savvy-ness, not all channels (the Outdoor channel for instance) have all their programming available online. (a topic I won't go into but geez...)
I would say that this cable-loving group is primarily an older one but then again my grandmother would be more than satisfied to have her Roku TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) channel and her Netflix seasons of NICS and call it a day.
Eh. To each it's on. I still think they are paying through the nose for a vastly inferior entertainment experience but then again I am obviously a crazy control freak nerd that is two keystrokes away from living in a geek lair deep beneath the city never to see the light of day again. Or at least that's what my brother says.
Well, it isn't over yet. I think we could at least reach a good compromise....maybe.
So what's your take on the debate? Could you or your family live without traditional cable service? Or is the idea of a internet based TV too much?
Cleaning Hardwood Floors with Vinegar
Vinegar is an inexpensive and non toxic way to clean hardwood floors. Special care must be taken with hardwood floors to keep them glossy for the long run. Vinegar is a safe cleanser to use because the active ingredient in vinegar is completely biodegradable. Non-toxic and eco-friendly, common household vinegar kills bacteria and viruses. It will also last forever in the closet. It doesn't break down over time.
So the next time you're shopping for cleaning supplies, take a look at the types of vinegar that are on the shelf. For cleaning hardwood flooring, you will want to use white vinegar. It will not stain the floor and it's cheap too!
The Vinegar Cleaning Method
- Make sure the floor is clear of rugs and furniture. You want to clean the entire floor in one pass.
- Make sure no one, person or animal will walk on the floor until it is completely dry.
- Make sure all loose debris is removed by vacuuming or dust mopping the floor.
- Mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar to one gallon of warm water.
- Use a clean mop and wring it until it is damp. Do not use a very wet mop.
- Mop the floor from one corner to the opposite corner. Make sure you will have a way out of the room when you are done. Always mop with the grain of the floor. If This will hide any slight streaking that is left behind.
- Rinse the mop frequently and change the water when it gets dirty looking.
- Rinsing is not necessary. If you have noticeable streaks, a damp once-ever with clear water should cure them.
Now, just put the furniture and rugs back in place after the floor dries and you are done. There you have it. An easy and inexpensive way to keep your hardwood floors shiny and beautiful for many years.

Christmas Morning In the Lingerie Deparment
At least that's what it felt like as I was walking away. For the first time since I woke one morning all "developed" as my mother called it. (I called it getting side swiped by puberty so hard my future grandchildren felt it.) And for all you women that wish for bigger... assets...trust me when I say this: you have no idea what you are asking for.
Let me give you a snapshot of how life is for someone like me: People stare. All the time. And its aggravating. Upon meeting a new person, your eyes are always the second thing they see. Old men wink at you at the grocery store. The pizza guy loses all sense of how to make change. And prudish old ladies give you bad looks. Even your friends stare! You can forget pretty little tank tops with whisper thin straps too, because unless they're made of the web of Spider Man, you are in trouble...

Dryer Safety
Unless you climb inside it and have your little brother turn it on, clothes dryers are one of the safest appliances in your home. Well, except for the possibility of a dryer fire. The threat is real but there are common sense ways to protect your family.
Overtime it's possible for fabric sheets, fabric softeners, and laundry detergent ingredients to cause a waxy buildup on the dryer lint screen. This buildup can restrict air flow causing higher operating temperatures and longer drying times. The simple solution and preventative for this is to clean the filter with plain old soap and water every six months or so.
If the airflow becomes completely clogged, you could end up with a fire on your hands. Be sure to clean the filter between every load. If you want to be super safe, avoid using liquid fabric softener. Especially on items made of fleece, terry cloth, or velour fabrics. When added to the rinse cycle, liquid fabric softener has been shown to make these types of fabrics burn faster. To be extra safe, use dryer sheets.
Clothing or rags that have become contaminated with flammable liquids or grease should be line dried. This may sound extreme, but if all the flammable material doesn't come out in the wash, it will be heated in the dryer. Better to line dry the item a time or two than run the risk of a dryer fire.
Keep your dryer clean. This includes the inside, underneath and behind the unit. Anywhere lint can build up is a potential hazard.
If you are shopping for a new dryer, look for one that uses a moisture sensor instead of a regular timer to control drying time. Not only are they safer, but they save energy by only running the machine until the clothes are dry.
Most importantly, keep your dryer duct clean! Most dryer fires occur because lint builds up in the duct. If your duct is made of foil or plastic, the fire can burn through the duct and catch the home itself on fire. Where possible, use metal duct for your dryer installation. It will do a much better job of containing a potential fire.
Investing in a lint cleaning brush is a good idea. Periodically clean the entire air path from the drum to the outside. If there are places in your dryer that you can't reach, but you can see lint, have your dryer cleaned by a professional. While he's at it, he can check the belt and pulleys for proper tension and operation. After all, you don't drive your car until it quits. Think of it as an oil change for your dryer.
If you have a problem with an appliance or just have a question, contact us. We have the know-how and experience to solve your appliance issues.
Why Is It Important To Change Refrigerator Filters?
Refrigerator filters can theoretically last for years or only months depending on how much contamination is in the water as well as the how much water passes through the filter. Well water has a higher likelihood to contain contaminants than publicly treated water. This may necessitate more frequent filter changes. A good rule of thumb is to change the filter as called for by the manufacturer, but at least every six months.
How Do Refrigerator Filters Work?
The primary filtering agent used in water filtration systems is carbon because carbon can absorb many of the chemicals found in tap water. Most refrigerator water filters use granular activated carbon (GAC). This GAC attracts chemicals and impurities which can cause bad taste and odors, like chlorine and grit. Unfortunately, the average refrigerator filter is not able to filter the water of some of the more dangerous, health-threatening contaminants.
Because of the path by which water is channeled through GAC filters, the water is not in the filter for a sufficient amount of time to completely absorb those substances. Carbon is also not capable of absorbing heavy metals like lead. GAC filters can trap larger particles of heavy metals and sediments while allowing others to pass through to the output water. Failing to change the water filter every six months allows these unabsorbed contaminants to saturate the filter. Once the filtering material is saturated, it can no longer hold the contaminants and they can leak back into the output water. Allowed to go on too long and the output water may contain more contaminants per glass than the tap water had in the first place.
Refrigerator Filters Don't Last Forever.
As technology has improved, more absorbent carbon-based filters called solid carbon block filters have been developed. These filters contain solid blocks of carbon to absorb more contaminants from the water. The water takes quite a bit longer to strain through carbon blocks than the carbon granules of the GAC filter so that there is sufficient time for the more health-threatening contaminants to be absorbed. These carbon block filters are able to absorb things like pesticides and other contaminants; they still can't absorb heavy metals or agricultural by-products like nitrates or sulfides. The composition of the carbon blocks does allow them to retain heavy metals and bacteria from entering the output water. Failing to change even carbon block filters every six months can result in contaminants saturating the filter, allowing contaminants to leak into the output water.
If you leave a filter unchanged long enough, it can ultimately lead to a reduction of water pressure, which can cause problems with the ice maker and water in the door functions.
Some refrigerators use fiber water filters. These are filters made up of tightly wrapped rayon fibers or spun cellulose. These can trap sediments like rust and lead. Used alone, these filters do not reduce the levels of any chemical or health-threatening contaminants. But when used in conjunction with other types of filters, they do help reduce the concentration of sediments. These hybrid filters should also be replaced every six months to avoid the filter saturation that allows contaminants to enter the output water.

Colorful Kid's Kingdom
This creative bedroom is a lot of fun for the boy who lives in it.
Most people with toddlers agree that children are, at times, the true rulers of the house. While Lee Edwards, Jr., might not rule the whole house, he's definitely the king of this castle. Filled with clever furnishings and accessories, this bedroom is not only fun for young Lee, but it also showcases his father's love of all things medieval.
The castle motif solved a problem with the room's design as well. "Lee's bedroom is directly above the foyer," says his mother, Jenny, who is an interior decorator. "The foyer has a tray ceiling that creates a raised area in the bedroom." The solution was to build bunk beds over this potential obstruction.
For the color palette, Jenny wanted to do something different, and she purposefully stayed away from the pastels typically found in children's rooms. To reinforce the theme of the room, she went with bright bold colors much like the banners found at a medieval tournament. Reds, blues, and yellows make the room feel rich and inviting. Along with the vivid accents, she added torch sconces and a chandelier from an antiques store.

I had a emachine T2862 in the shop today which needed a XP reinstall. The owner didn't have the disks so I had to use a generic disc to install XP. This means that I have to go out on the net and find all the drivers for the box. This is generally fairly painless since most major PC manufacturers have fairly good driver download sites. This is not always the case though. In this situation I went to the Emachine website and grabbed the drivers for the correct model and all of them worked except for one. The LAN driver didn't install and gave a error saying the device did not exist.

Good grief, look at the picture. Mack is old, fat and tired. I love it, though, I live in Oklahoma! Go Sooners and Pokes!
Texas AD DeLoss Dodds: Mack Brown is 'fine' as Longhorns head coach
Last Saturday, BYU routed Texas 40-21 after rushing for an astounding 550 yards. While Longhorns coach Mack Brown fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz the next day, many fans feel that Brown is more responsible for the program's recent struggles. Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds is seemingly not among them.
Dodds told the Austin American-Statesman that while the controversy surrounding the 1-1 Longhorns is "a perfect storm," Brown's job security is not in immediate danger:
"Mack's fine," Dodds said. "I know we didn't play well Saturday. Mack will know if he should be coaching (at Texas) or shouldn't be. I know this is my responsibility, and I'm not shying away from it. The bottom line is I'm for the kids and the coaches."
Brown has won 151 games during his tenure at Texas, including the 2005 BCS title. But his record has slipped to 23-17 over the past three-plus seasons. Rumors swirled that Brown met with Dodds and university president Bill Powers over the weekend, but Dodds denied that, saying that he expects Brown to remain part of the program's future:
"Mack loves the game. He's good for Texas. He's going to be a part of what his future is. I think the perfect storm scenario is apropos. I told Mack, 'It's a long season. There's lots of time to do good things.'"

7s Legend Has Hopes for T-Shirt Plan |
International - International News |
Waisale Serevi remembers what it was like to be an amateur rugby player representing Fiji. He remembers what it was like when the game went professional, and still Fiji struggled to support its team. The all-time rugby 7s great sees now, in 2011, despite rugby being the national sport of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, that their national teams are still strapped for cash, and the frustration comes out in his voice, if not necessarily in his words. "From my point of view the players are doing their part," Serevi told RUGBYMag.com as he unveiled his Island Kings T-shirt initiative, proceeds of which will go to provide financial assistance to players from Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. "They are training hard, working hard. I am not pointing fingers. I just want to do what I can to support the boys." "What we are trying to do is set up the platform to support the players," Serevi explained. "I remember what we faced when I represented Fiji. The played do not get supported financially. This is a great opportunity for me. I have seen the struggles, and not only Fiji but Samoa and Tonga are still looking for sponsors. From my point of view the players are doing their part. They are training hard, working hard. I am not pointing fingers. I just want to do what I can to support the boys. They have supporters all over the world and with this T-shirt plan those supporters can show their support, and help the team as well."
Serevi has now made his home in Seattle, and is working on several initiatives to help rugby in the USA, but he remains connected to Fiji. |

Rumor: Research In Motion pushing for sale to Samsung
Update: Samsung has gone on record to say they have not considered acquiring RIM and are not interested in buying the BlackBerry maker.
Research in Motion has reportedly been looking at the possibility of licensing their software to companies such Samsung and HTC. None of the aforementioned firms is officially commenting on the rumors, of course, but according to trusted sources cited by Boy Genius Report, RIM is most likely leaning toward a partial or even full sale of the company, with co-CEO Jim Balsillie "going hard after Samsung" as a possible suitor.
It's not clear if the South Korean electronics giant would even be interested in such a deal, but if an acquisition goes through, RIM's 75 million BlackBerry users would vault Samsung way past Nokia to become the top mobile phone manufacturer in the world. That's a big if, however. According to the report, RIM is still actively meeting with anyone that could be interested in a buyout but everyone has balked at the $12-$15 billion asking price.
Back in December, it was reported that the Canadian firm had turned down takeover overtures from Amazon.com and other potential buyers -- which could have included Microsoft and Nokia -- because its current situation would significantly impact suitor's offers. Back then the company supposedly said an outright sale or joint venture was not on the cards, only licensing deals or other types of commercial partnerships.
RIM's market value has dropped significantly in the last 12 months to about $7 billion following a series of disappointing quarterly reports, delayed phone launches, weak PlayBook tablet sales and a major fault in October that caused millions of BlackBerry users to lose service -- among other things.
User Comments: 12
Got something to say? Post a comment-
They are on a downward spiral for a reason. The opposition is better. Why would Samsung want to buy out RIM? Apart from maybe hardware manufacturing capabilities... their software is worthless.
3 letters:
If Samsung had BBM in their phones, game over everyone else.
That's the main reason to get one and why Blackberry phones are so popular here in Canada. If they licensed that out to or was bought by Samsung, that would just destroy everyone else. Plus, get a hefty patent increase vs apple's douchebaggery
I disagree, BBM isn't worth a mention since instant messengers are becoming more popular, multi-platform WhatsApp or Apples iMessage are proof other providers can do instant messaging and do it just as well if not better. If I was samsung I wouldn't bother at all, BBM isn't worth $12 billion, hell Samsung could make their own instant messenger with that money and probably make it better...
RIM should just sell for a cheap price now before BlackBerry devices achieve lower market share than they already do now. It was a good run, even though I never, or would never, own a BlackBerry device.
blackberry has already made it's image in the world with bbm -- even though apple has created the imessanger people it's hasn't caught up with usage in terms of bbm. bbm is more widely known than imessenger.
A new report from Reuters says that Samsung is not interested in purchasing RIM. Samsung spokesman James Chung said "We haven't considered acquiring the firm and are not interested in (buying RIM)". RIM's stock increased just over 8% on the news today, but unfortunately after hours trading is down over 3%.
iMessage is almost like BBM. Remember, BBM uses a seperate "Blackberry pin" to give to contacts. Similar to a throwaway number rather than giving your actual phone number. And it's encrypted, unlike WhatsApp. BBM is huge overseas. Think terrorists etc.
Rumors are rumors, but I agree with everyone else... Samsung buying RIM would be a complete waste only comparable to HP's Palm takeover, and we know how that ended.
Samsung released a statement, they have no interest in buying them out...this caused a stock drop apparently also of RIM.
I think atm probably Google may be the best proposition for RIM (although I don't think Google would want to buy RIM as well), as Google need to get their hands on more patents, whereas, for the rest there is not much value in buying RIM.
Blackberry is still popular among corporate users and outside of Western Europe and North America. The plebs on the street aren't using it, doesn't mean it's inferior.

Only a matter of time now til it's dead. Our company is transitioning off Nokia and Blackberry for corporate use as Android now has the majority of the required app support. E.g. SalesForce and so on.

Emergency Text and Email Messaging System
The University of Nevada, Reno offers an emergency messaging system, Emergency Alerts, available to faculty, staff and students.
The program sends a text and/or email message to all enrolled cell phones and email accounts in the event of an emergency at the University. The system is only used during an emergency or unexpected closing of the University.
About the service
As part of the University of Nevada, Reno's emergency preparedness planning, the University's students, faculty and staff can receive emergency text and email message alerts in addition to traditional methods of notification. The University employs text and email messaging as another technological solution for communicating swiftly and effectively with our campus community in the event of an extreme emergency on campus.
In addition to a validation message when you sign up for the service, you will receive a test message at least once per semester to ensure that the service is working as expected. The University will only use the service to send emergency/life-threatening or unexpected campus closure alerts.
Available to all students, faculty and staff
All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to sign up for this messaging service, called Emergency Alerts. Users who elect this option and provide contact information may be assured that all of the information provided is private and will not be shared (see privacy policy). A valid University of Nevada, Reno NetID is required to access this service. Parents, contractors and other non-NetID users can sign up manually by contacting University Police Services at (775) 784-4013.
The program sends a text and/or email message alert to all enrolled cell phones in the event of an emergency at the University. The system is only used during a safety emergency or unexpected closing of the University.
You must opt-in to this service
Students are not automatically entered into the system and also must register. All participants need to update cell numbers and email addresses manually if their contact information changes. This is an opt-in service that requires biennial renewal. At the end of two years you will be sent a message requesting an extension of your enrollment. If you do not respond within 30 days you will be dropped from the alerts system.
The service is provided at no additional fee from the University. Participants may need to pay for incoming text messages as part of their regular phone plan. Use of Emergency Alerts is rare as they are activated only in emergency situations.
More information
As with all methods of emergency communication, it is important to remember that Emergency Alerts is just one of the many ways that the University contacts its campus community when an extreme emergency occurs on our campus.
Emergency Alerts complements emergency communications and University closure notifications already in place, including campus-wide emergency email, the University's website, reverse 911 and communications with the local print and electronic media.
- See the Frequently Asked Questions or go to Emergency Information for more.

How many degrees side-to-side does the gooseneck swivel?
We have a 3 hole sink. Does this faucet have a cover plate to cover the 3 holes?
Can you turn the spray on/off while the water is running?
What is the length of the pull out sprayer?
What is the length of the pull down hose srayer?
Is a soap dispenser available?
Of what material is the sprayer hose made? Metal coating or more fabric-like?
This faucet just arrived and in reading the installation sheet it states do not use with dishwasher. The dishwasher attaches to the garbage disposal so I don't understand. What would the problem be? How could it be corrected?
What material is the pullout handle made of?

Photo Credit: Bully/TWC Publicity
As a parent, it's hard to watch the trailer of the powerful and heartbreaking new documentary Bully and not have your eyes fill with tears. (Watch it below.) While the movie was initially rated R by the MPAA (a move opposed by high-profile supporters like Justin Bieber and Johnny Depp), the film's distributor, the Weinstein Company, is releasing the movie as unrated so the target audience of teens will be able to see it. In lieu of an official rating, the company has asked parents and theaters to use this rating from Common Sense Media -- a Pause 13+. This means that some kids ages 13 and up can see the movie. The "pause" means: "Know your child: Some content may not be right for some kids." Here's Common Sense Media's review:
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Bully is a no-holds-barred documentary that intimately portrays bullying victims' daily lives. While it's often heartbreaking and deals with tough issues like suicide, the movie addresses an incredibly important, timely topic -- bullying -- in a frank, relatable way that's age appropriate for teens and relevant for middle schoolers if an adult is present to guide discussion. Bully's strong language (including a brutal, profanity-laden scene in which one boy says to another that he'll "shove a broomstick up your a--" and "cut your face off and s--t") earned it an R rating from the MPAA (a rating that the production company chose not to accept, officially releasing the film as unrated), but none of the swearing is gratuitous. Like it or not, it's a realistic portrayal of what every middle schooler and older hears every day. This gives the film veracity and credibility with kids, and it will justifiably shock parents.
Bully's most challenging material isn't just the language, but the suicides. Seeing grieving parents and friends could potentially be upsetting to teens and preteens, so they should definitely watch with adults. Bully also addresses the concepts of cutting, physical abuse, and more, but in a way that presents the consequences as well as the behavior itself. Victims' parents are generally portrayed as supportive and loving, while school administrators come off in a much less positive light. Ultimately, Bully encourages kids to stand up to bullies, not stand by, and reinforces the fact that everyone can make a difference when it comes to this essential issue.
What's the story?
BULLY takes a frank, head-on look at the bullying epidemic happening in America's middle and high schools. It profiles several young victims -- including Alex, a 12-year-old in Sioux City, Iowa, who endures merciless teasing and physical abuse on the school bus every day, and Kelby, a 16-year-old in Tuttle, Okla., who has been ostracized and attacked ever since coming out as a lesbian. In telling their stories and others, Bully explores the full range of bullying's impact on kids, their families, and their communities, from the devastation of teen suicide to frustrated parents getting nowhere with school administrators. And, more than anything, it encourages teens to make a difference -- to stand up against bullying instead of standing by.
Is it any good?
Bully is heartbreaking, moving, infuriating, and indisputably essential viewing for middle- and high-schoolers and their parents. It's impossible not to be affected by the stories of these tweens and teens; you'll tear up when Tyler Long's parents recount what drove their 17-year-old firstborn to suicide, and you'll want to scream at the administrator who downplays Alex's parents' concerns when they come in to talk about how to keep their son safe on his way to and from school. Particularly chilling is the story of 14-year-old Ja'Meya, who ended up brandishing a gun at her bullies when she felt pushed to the edge of her endurance. No one was hurt, but the fact that she even considered that as a response to her situation shows you just how much pain some kids are in every day.
Bully is a little bit on the slow side for teens (and it might have been a better fit for school viewing at an hour's length), but it's also extremely relevant and relatable. It's gritty, but that very grittiness is what gives it the power to hook teens in and open their eyes to what's probably going on around them every day. And that, in turn, could help convince kids that they really do have the power to make a difference.
What families can talk about
- Families can talk about an individual's responsibility to stand up, not stand by. Is that easy to do? How do you think people can really make a difference against bullies?
- Parents, talk to your kids about teen suicide. This is an incredibly tough topic, but one that needs to be addressed. What makes some people think that it's their only option? What impact does their decision have on their friends and family? Where can kids in despair turn for assistance?
- Bullying is often seen as physical abuse, but Bully shows that words are just as powerful. Talk about the different ways that people can bully others; what has the most lasting impact?
- Bully doesn't spend too much time discussing the online/digital side of the issue. Teens: How does cyberbullying impact you and your peers?
- School administrators come off very poorly in Bully, and there's lots of blaming the victim. Do you think administrators leave victims feeling completely discounted? Who else can bullying victims turn to for help?

text: We honestly don't have many serious crimes, other than maybe a break-in to a car or something. Plus, the school had them get involved for legal issues that the campsec guys wouldn't be allowed to get involved in. Unfortunately, pot doesn't just filter... at least not here for some reason. Idk if it's the North Carolina air or something, but it doesn't go away. Even with a window open, fan on high, and wet towel at the bottom of the door, it still leaks into the hall.

JW Marriott Review
From the location near the White House to the views from the top floors, it's hard to forget you are in the nation's capital when you stay in one of the beautifully furnished rooms here. You can grab your morning coffee from the Starbucks in the lobby, where there is always lots of hustle and bustle as the many businesspeople who stay here get ready to take on Capitol Hill.

Subspecies Genetic Assignments of Worldwide Captive Tigers Increase Conservation Value of Captive Populations

SummaryTigers (Panthera tigris) are disappearing rapidly from the wild, from over 100,000 in the 1900s to as few as 3000 [1,2]. Javan (P.t. sondaica), Bali (P.t. balica), and Caspian (P.t. virgata) subspecies are extinct, whereas the South China tiger (P.t. amoyensis) persists only in zoos [1,3]. By contrast, captive tigers are flourishing, with 15,000–20,000 individuals worldwide, outnumbering their wild relatives five to seven times [4]. We assessed subspecies genetic ancestry of 105 captive tigers from 14 countries and regions by using Bayesian analysis and diagnostic genetic markers defined by a prior analysis of 134 voucher tigers of significant genetic distinctiveness [5]. We assigned 49 tigers to one of five subspecies (Bengal P.t. tigris, Sumatran P.t. sumatrae, Indochinese P.t. corbetti, Amur P.t. altaica, and Malayan P.t. jacksoni tigers) and determined 52 had admixed subspecies origins. The tested captive tigers retain appreciable genomic diversity unobserved in their wild counterparts, perhaps a consequence of large population size, century-long introduction of new founders, and managed-breeding strategies to retain genetic variability. Assessment of verified subspecies ancestry offers a powerful tool that, if applied to tigers of uncertain background, may considerably increase the number of purebred tigers suitable for conservation management.

SummaryThe white tiger, an elusive Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) variant with white fur and dark stripes, has fascinated humans for centuries ever since its discovery in the jungles of India [1]. Many white tigers in captivity are inbred in order to maintain this autosomal recessive trait [2,3,4,5] and consequently suffer some health problems, leading to the controversial speculation that the white tiger mutation is perhaps a genetic defect [6]. However, the genetic basis of this phenotype remains unknown. Here, we conducted genome-wide association mapping with restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) in a pedigree of 16 captive tigers segregating at the putative white locus, followed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of the three parents. Validation in 130 unrelated tigers identified the causative mutation to be an amino acid change (A477V) in the transporter protein SLC45A2. Three-dimensional homology modeling suggests that the substitution may partially block the transporter channel cavity and thus affect melanogenesis. We demonstrate the feasibility of combining RAD-seq and WGS to rapidly map exotic variants in nonmodel organisms. Our results identify the basis of the longstanding white tiger mystery as the same gene underlying color variation in human, horse, and chicken and highlight its significance as part of the species' natural polymorphism that is viable in the wild.

Toshiba LED Light Bulb, PAR30 Long Neck E26 Wide Flood, 120V, 16.3W (60W Equivalent) - Dimmable - 2700K - 780 Lumens

About this Product
Product Information:About The Toshiba 16P30L/827FL32 780 Lumens LED Light Bulbs, PAR30 Long Neck - 60 Watt Equivalent - 2700K Incandescent Color - DimmableIncandescent light bulbs are becoming a thing of the past, and not far behind them are halogen light bulbs because LED light bulbs are far more efficient than incandescent or halogen light bulbs. The Toshiba LED light bulbs are a great example of this in that the PAR30 LED light bulbs use 75% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent / halogen light bulbs. Toshiba LED light bulbs are the best line of these new revolutionary style light bulbs. Toshiba is so sure they have produced LED light bulbs that are the most reliable on the market that they back their LED light bulbs with a five year warranty. This is far different than other LED light bulbs available to you. Other LED light bulbs are only rated for initial lumen output; this offers no guarantees that once you screw it in your lumen output will not start to decrease. This is not the case with the Toshiba LED light bulbs; the five year warranty offers a guarantee against the loss of lumen output for at least five years. Toshiba LED light bulbs also feature the Phillips Chip Set that provides unmatched reliability. Creating a desirable light color was a real challenge when the idea of using LED light bulbs for in home lighting. LED light bulbs of the past emitted a super bright white light that was not considered to be ideal for in home lighting. The Toshiba 16P30L/827FL32 LED light bulbs have a color rating of 2700K which emits a light color the same as an incandescent light. Toshiba LED light bulbs are unlike other LED light bulbs available to you in that they screw right into the sockets that already exist in your home. With other LED light bulbs you may be required to change some of the hardware or even do some rewiring of your lighting system. Another major difference between the Toshiba LED light bulbs and its counterparts is that they are dimmable LED light bulbs. The dimmers that are currently certified to work with the Toshiba 16P30L/827FL32 LED light bulbs are: Lutron NovaT NTLV-600, Lutron NovaT NTELV-600, Lutron Diva DVLV-600P, Lutron Diva DV-600P, Lutron Credenza TT-300NLH, Lutron D-600P, and Leviton Sure Slide 6631. With all the glaring differences between Toshiba LED light bulbs and other LED light bulbs it is clear Toshiba LED light bulbs are the clear choice when switching to LED light bulbs. | |
