Gutter roof drains, downspouts & leaders: Here we decribe the types of defects or leaks in the downspouts or leaders for roof drainage systems: leaks or other defects that cause basement or crawl space water entry. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Roof Downspout or Leader DefectsThis article series discusses how to choose, install, diagnose & maintain roof gutters & downspouts, & roof drainage systems to prevent building leaks and water entry. Our page top sketch is provided courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates. See GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTS for a guide to types of roof gutter systems. See GUTTER DEFECTS LIST and DOWNSPOUT / LEADER DEFECTS for examples of common mistakes in handling roof runoff. Also see EAVES TROUGH, INTEGRAL GUTTERS and YANKEE GUTTERS that are discussed in separate articles. Quoting from Carson Dunlop Associates' Home Reference Book: Our list of common downspout or leader defects shown just below is followed by illustrations or photographs of many of these conditions. Gutter defects are discussed in detail separately atGUTTER DEFECTS LIST
Downspout Extension Spills Too Close to the Building
Our photos below illustrate downspouts emptying too close to the building. At below left you can see erosion that is sending most of the roof runoff out of the downspout and right down the foundation wall. At below right a downspout is terminated on the deck surface. That detail can lead to slip/fall hazards (slippery algae-covered deck boards) and basement water entry (due to in-slope grade towards the building, hidden below the deck surface.) Downspout Empties onto Settled Backfill
Downspout Empties onto Sloped backfill over compacted in-slope virgin soils or clay

Homeland was universally welcomed as the best newcomer of the 2011-2012 TV season and, for another series that revolves around war and counterterrorism, this wasn't a predictable success. So what's the fresh take that makes Homeland unique? It's certainly the personal angle that, in this series, makes the scars of war run as deep as real ones, while the mystery about the real identity of homecoming soldier, Nick Brody (Damian Lewis), keeps the viewer guessing in front of a dramatic masterpiece – a proper jigsaw puzzle. There's indeed something intriguing about Brody's character, a secret which CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) stubbornly tries to unveil: has he turned into a mole from Al-Qaeda trying to seek revenge on America for the way he was left alone in prison? Or is it all in Carrie's obsessive mind?

Fasting & Abstinence
'Christ Himself said that His disciples would fast once He had departed' Lk. 5:35
Abstinence. The law of abstinence requires a Catholic 14 years of age until death to abstain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted.
Fasting. The law of fasting requires a Catholic from the 18th Birthday (Canon 97) to the 59th Birthday (i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, a year which will be completed on the 60th birthday) to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal.

Yeah, I wish I lived in a sane world, too. Alas, that doesn't seem to be the case.
I expect everyone to be properly educated on the matter at hand before voting on amendments that affect such large groups of people, but that's obviously too much to ask for in the Bible Belt.
Nope. Most had no freaking clue. You really expect religious nuts to do a proper job of educating themselves?
I hope all of the bigots that voted for A1 realize that straight couples lost some marriage rights today, too.
The funny part is that once DOMA falls, the only people getting fucked will be those in a domestic partnership. Gay people will be able to go out of state and get married.
Why NC, why........ :(

While seeking an authentic Australian adventure, one unlucky backpacker learns the deepest, darkest secrets of the Outback's most infamous serial killer.
Lured by the promise of an Australian holiday, backpackers Rutger, Katarina, and Paul visit the notorious Wolf Creek Crater. Their dream Outback adventure soon becomes a horrific reality when they encounter the site's most infamous local, the last man any traveler to the region ever wants to meet; Mick Taylor (John Jarratt).

Only one will remain to be dragged back to his lair to witness the true magnitude of his monstrosity. And if the last man standing is to have any hope of surviving where no one else has survived before, he'll have to use every ounce of cunning to outwit the man behind the monster and become every bit as ruthless as the monster inside the man.

Best Antidepressant May Depend on Patient: Study
Large evidence review finds newer brands work equally well
By Amanda Gardner
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Dec. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Newer antidepressants seem to be about as effective as one another, a new analysis indicates.
This suggests that the choice of which drug is appropriate for which patient should be made on the basis of such considerations as side effects, cost and patient preference.
"They're all equally effective," said Dr. David Schlager, a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.
"They're interchangeable except for side effects," he added, so psychiatrists do tend to "exploit the side-effect profile" to find suitable medications for individual patients, he added.
According to the background information in the new study, appearing in the Dec. 6 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, some 27 million people in the United States had taken antidepressants as of 2005.
Most of these drugs are "second-generation" medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and related drugs.
SSRIs include the best-selling Prozac (fluoxetine) and Zoloft (sertraline). An example of an SNRI is Effexor (venlafaxine).
Led by Dr. Gerald Gartlehner, the analysis was funded primarily by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Authors reviewed data from 234 previously published studies, all of them randomized trials that had included at least 1,000 participants each.
While there was no difference in drug effectiveness, there were distinctions in how quickly a drug took effect, side effects and quality of life.
For instance, the authors said, Remeron (mirtazapine) takes effect faster than Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil (paroxetine) or Celexa (citalopram).
Bupropion, which goes by Wellbutrin and other brand names, has fewer adverse sexual effects than Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil or Lexapro (escitalopram).
"If a patient has insomnia, you would pick something more immediately sedating," said Schlager, who is also a psychiatrist with Lone Star Circle of Care in Austin. "If the patient has decreased appetite and weight loss, you would pick something more likely to cause weight gain like mirtazapine."
Cost, of course, is another consideration.
"If one drug costs $200 a month and another costs $20, I don't see any reason why not to go with the latter," said Dr. Radu Saveanu, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Dosing is also important, he said, "because studies have shown that if patients have to take the drug less frequently, compliance is higher, which will make a big difference in terms of efficacy."
But given the similarity in effectiveness, prescribing antidepressants is still largely a trial-and-error process.
It's hoped that the next series of studies will provide guidance on which medications to try first.
"The real heart of the matter is, if they don't respond to one type of antidepressant, is there any guidelines about what you should try next?" Schlager said.

Kerwick: From one Mike to another, a search for Pelfrey's farewell card
Dear Mike,
This is hard. Really hard.
I'm clogging the aisle at the local pharmacy, leafing through greeting cards. This is taking longer than it should, but frankly, I'm not even sure which category suits you best.
A sympathy card?
A doctor is going to take a look at the swelling on your right elbow Monday. He will probably operate. You will miss a year of baseball.
I reach for one card – I'm so sorry you are hurting – then quickly withdraw my hand. These cards are meant for people who have lost family members, not for people who have lost baseball seasons.
You have made millions of dollars playing this game. You will probably make more. And you are only 28. Sympathy would be a misplaced emotion.
A thank you card?
You have been great to me in the clubhouse, great to just about every writer who has approached your locker, looking to put ink in a notebook. Veteran beat guys tell me you rarely hide after a bad start.
I reach once more, this time for the clever Etsy-designed Elvis card – Thank you. Thank you very much. – but again pull back.
A 50-54 record? A 4.36 career ERA with the Mets? Pedestrian numbers, Mike. Handed the chance to be an ace, you stumbled.
A funny card?
A few years ago – at your hand-licking, 15-9 zenith as a Met – this would have been ideal. Not anymore. I doubt those same fans who booed you on opening day would appreciate the humor.
Then I spot the perfect section, an entire shelf of cards tailored to this moment.
Because this is probably goodbye.
Not goodbye from baseball. Teams always need pitching. A general manager with some gamble in him will roll the dice after that right elbow heals.
But I wouldn't bank on getting a call from the Mets.
I grab a card with Yoda on the cover.
A challenge you face … succeed you will!
We'll see about that. But I like the sentiment. It even plays the theme from "Star Wars."
Your friend,

Is Nintendo following its own advice?
LOS ANGELES--Nintendo's Wii has always stood apart from the other major consoles of this generation of game machines. It was pitched as, and found great success by, being the game console for nongamers.
The controls were deceptively simple. A magic wand to wave in the air, with a couple of buttons that many games ignored. There was an add-on with extra inputs for games that required it, but many of the best Wii experiences concentrated on that kinetic action of hand-on-wand.
That simplicity was the secret to how Nintendo sold so many Wiis. And while motion and gesture control … Read more

Pierce Brosnan's debut as 007 was a rip roaring success. Grittier than most Bonds before it, the plot kicks off in the mountains, where Bond leaves Sean Bean's double agent for dead, only to have the world held to ransom by his return, replete with a device that can destroy anything with a circuit board inside. Dame Judi Dench appears as M for the first time, while Sean Bean is perfect as the bad guy with a real chip on his shoulder - and a genuine reason for killing off the elusive 007.

African-American Expats
Many African-Americans left their country to escape the confines of racism, segregation and McCarthyism in the United States. As a result, an entirely new African-American subculture sprouted up in Europe, Africa and other countries abroad. A street in Paris is named after Josephine Baker, who found acceptance and fame in France that she couldn't achieve in the still-segregated United States. Marcus Garvey was a leader of the Back-to-Africa movement. And singer Nina Simone lived in several different countries, including Liberia, Switzerland, England and Barbados before eventually settling down in the South of France. Find out more about these African-American expats, and the new lives they made for themselves abroad, on Biography.com.

Famous Jazz Musicians
With its roots in the blues, jazz has been referred to as America's classical music, yet has also become a major global phenomenon, branching off into a variety of forms. Earlier pioneers like Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton paved the way for the swinging big-band sounds of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. In contrast, contemporaries Dizzie Gillespie, Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk developed bebop, with its speedy, dissonant harmonies and improvisations. And Miles Davis heralded the birth of cool jazz, modal jazz and fusion at different points in his career. Famous jazz instrumentalists have tended to be male, yet women have been at the forefront of the genre when it comes to vocalization, from the brassy blues of Bessie Smith to the haunting eclecticism of Nina Simone.

Hi, Seventeen Magazine. This is Chloe Grace Moretz here at the Aeropostale holiday shoot, and we??re gonna take a look in by beauty bag. All right. So the first thing, of course, would have to be Orbit gum, because you always want to smell nice and fresh. And then second would have be my Tarte eye primer, because it??s perfect for just right before you put on your eyeshadow to really put a nice base on and keep it matte and it doesn??t move around. And then second would have my Chanel eyeshadow, because it??s such good colors and it??s just perfect daytime or nighttime. You can make a smoky eye or a nice nude kind of flirty young look, so yeah. And then- I don??t even know what number this is now, but next, I??d have to have my Tarte bronzer because it??s just the perfect shade. Because I??m pretty fair in my face so I need a little bit of bronzer to kinda warm me up and I don??t know keep me young. And I love- one of my other favorite would have to be the Aeropostale [unknown], so it??s nice and it??s just like a nice like a cheek stain. And it??s just so pretty and it just warms you up and it goes really well if you want to do either the bronzer or the cheeky look and yeah, makes you cheeky. And then almost to the end. My other favorite would have to be the Cle de Peau amazing, amzing lip gloss, because it??s actually what I??m wearing now and it??s perfect for my complexion, and with the bronzer and everything and the eyeshadow, it really just kind of- it??s like a nice nude. So it doesn??t blend in, but it just kinda brings out your lips and defines them without kinda being flahy. Yeah, so that??s a good one. And then my last but not the least would have to be my Live Love Dream pink nail polish by Aero because it??s just- again it??s young and flirty and fun and it??s not super flashy again. So it goes with a bunch of different outfits and yeah, it??s just a nice coral. And yeah, so thank you so much for looking in my beauty bag.

Washington, DC - 12/17/2009 - Christopher Mann, senior officer at the Pew Environment Group, issued the following statement in response to legislation introduced late last night by Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA), H.R. 4363, establishing a regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture."The Pew Environment Group applauds Representative Capps for introducing legislation that would establish strong national standards for offshore fish farms. We have seen worldwide that poorly managed marine aquaculture causes substantial harm to fish, wildlife and their habitat. "There is not an overarching policy governing aquaculture development in federal marine waters. If the industry wants to expand into waters three to 200 miles offshore, we need a regulatory system specifically designed to address the environmental risks of fish farming and protect the health of marine ecosystems. This bill is an important first step in creating the necessary framework."

Was just watching one of the WWII series "The Air War" on the History Channel. This one tells the story of the 8th Army- the main Army Air Force group charged with destroying the Luftwaffe prior to D-Day.
There is a part in this segment of the documentary that explains that on the return of one of a B17 bombing run, a gunner became trapped in his ball turret. That's the plexi cockpit enclosure under the belly of the plane.
The plane had been shot up on it's run: hydraulics & electrical systems were out, two engines were lost, fuel was low… The pilot radioed base to explain the situation though everyone knew the reality. The landing gear would not come down with the hydraulics out. The plane would have to crash land belly first on the tarmac: the ball torrent gunner would be crushed underneath and in between.
The video is an homage I came across based on the poem….
The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner is a five-line poem by Randall Jarrell published in 1945. It is about the death of a gunner in a Sperry ball turret on a World War II American bomber aircraft.
From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Mars Hill Mudslide Narrowly Misses Home
Updated: Wednesday, January 16 2013, 03:43 PM EST
A Madison County woman had a very close call Tuesday as heavy rain triggered a mudslide that came within just a few feet of slamming into her home. It happened on Red Fox Den Road in Mars Hill.
Debra Rockett's home sits right below a very steep hillside. At about 4 p.m., her dog Karma started reacting to something going on outside. That brought Debra to the back of the house and she saw the trees and mud come down into her yard.
No one was hurt and the slide stopped just short of damaging the home.

Good Lord!!! J.B. Bickerstaff as the head coach? That would be a screw up of absolutely legendary proportions
Bernie Bickerstaff originally said that he was going to coach the Bobcats for 2 to 3 years, then move up to the front office to be a full time GM. With that being said, I\'d be interested in hearing your opinions on potential coaching candidates.
The name at the top of the list thats been getting the most hype is Tubby Smith from the University of Kentucky. In my opinion we don\'t need a college coach running this team. The list of college coaches ( Pitini, Tarkanian, Calipari ) that tried coaching in the NBA and failed is a mile long.
You have Paul Silas, In my opinion that wouldn\'t be such a bad move. He works well with big men, and this team could definitely use that skill, What makes this move unlikely is that Bob Johnson & co. have been avoiding the stench of the Hornets like the plague.
And then you have a real wildcard, a move of pure nepotism that would ruin the franchise for the next 10 years. Thats right, Junior Bickerstaff. If that move were to happen I think that the majority of Bobcats fans would bail on the team. But depending on how much pull that Bernie has, I wouldn\'t put it past him.
I\'d be interested to hear your opinions and other options.
Good Lord!!! J.B. Bickerstaff as the head coach? That would be a screw up of absolutely legendary proportions
Junior \"Thanks Dad\" Bickerstaff as head coach
Thats too sick for words.
I\'d like to see Larry Brown in the Queen City. He\'s got a crap team with the knicks, if he had the talent of the cats it would be amazing.

I\'ve got two words for you, Detroit Pistons. Look at the team he built there, and tell me this guy can\'t coach. Did you see what he inherited in NYC, it\'s a mess.
I\'ll admit he CAN coach. He has the hardware at the NCAA and NBA level to prove it. But, at this stage of his career, hes too old, too senile, too set in his ways, and just too all around flaky for a young team like this. By the time the team got to be playoff competitive, it\'d be time for him to retire.
Paul Silas is getting some interest from the Golden St. Warriors [url/sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dailydime-060308] in the article here [/url]. So he may be out of the mix as far as a Bickerstaff replacement.
Clark, I guess we\'ll see tonight what kind of job your beloved Larry Brown does matched up against gthe Bobcats. My guess is he and his high priced roster leaves the game with a loss
Larry Brown still has the game my friend, he still has the game. The problem with the leauge is there isn\'t enough coaches like Brown, and Riley to go out of their way to be hardcore fundemental type coaches. Most coaches now look like they are personal assitaints for the players, like their own little *****, you get the idea.

They said it wouldn't last ... and they were right.
According to several reports, Sarah Palin's unwed-teenage-mother daughter Bristol has officially kicked Levi Johnston -- the man they shamelessly paraded around the campaign trail -- to the cold Alaskan curb.
As for Gov. Palin, who once said she could see Russia from her house -- no word if she saw this one coming.
I personnaly think the whole Palin family is a mess you got and unwed Mother a Govenor that thinks she is God and can see around the world! her Husband that can't keep his nose out of Goverment business when he holds no elected office a Sister that is breaking into houses to stealing money for drugs, is this who you really want to run this Countryis Sara Palin????
Why would Sara Palin need a legal fund if she's not guilty of something? She didn't do it until she ran for vice President and it all came out of how much trouble she and her husband is causing the state!
Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her house. That was a joke someone said about what she would probably say about her foreign policy. Don't say crap you know nothing about. You spread rumors that aren't true. Produce the quote and the time and place where she said that. She never did.
Why don't you know what you are writing before you write it? Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her house, Tina Fey did on SNL.
Re: Palin's daughter-"shamelessly" showing up in public reveals your liberal bias. I love your show, but your politics stink.
As a matter of fact, you need to retract that, state it a different way or just take it off altogether. It's one thing for your brother-in-law's cousin to spread a rumor like that and state it as fact, but you are supposed to be a world-wide entertainment page. I know you aren't a news page, but you still bear the responsibility of being accurate. So take that statement down immediately.
Bristol's life would have been jacked up if her mom had actually won...At least she has a better shot of having a decent life and meeting the one. They are to young to be parents and too young to be married but at least she didn't make 2 mistakes.
Palin may as well have said you can see Russia from my house...google the comment and you can see what she said for yourself.

The Reed Oral History Project is fast approaching its conclusion! Working under the auspices of the alumni board, we have completed 250 interviews with alumni from the 1920s through the 1970s, and we aim to collect interviews through the 1990 class year. We are also engaged in documenting the recollections of former faculty members, trustees and other friends of Reed. This ongoing project aspires to record 300 interviews prior to Reed's 2011 centennial!
The foundation for this oral history lays in the wealth of alumni volunteers who have made this project possible. Their enthusiasm and impressive variety of skills are evident in the energy with which they have documented Reed's past. Volunteer interviewers are trained in oral history techniques and conduct at least two interviews per year. Interview tapes are professionally transcribed, and are jointly edited by the narrator and the interviewer. Each June at Reunions, we gratefully honor the narrators and present the completed transcripts to President Colin Diver. Completed transcripts are posted on the oral history website for research and training purposes, and are permanently housed in the Reed archives in Hauser Library. These rich stories will provide fodder for our centennial celebrations and will serve as primary source material for a book that combines historical materials with the voices of Reed to create a compelling picture of the "Reed experience."
Interviewing is currently under way in the New England, Washington, D.C., San Francisco Bay, Portland, Chicago, and Rainier chapters, as well as in selected non-chapter areas, such as New York and New England. Narrators sometimes live in small towns, like Yah-Tay-Hey, New Mexico, Damariscotta, Maine, and Cornebarrieu, France. They also live in metropolitan areas, like New York City, Seattle, Portland, and the District of Columbia. Interviewers are also widely scattered geographically and chronologically. Some return regularly to Reed, while others have not seen the campus since they graduated. All have passionate, humorous, quirky, and sometimes poignant stories to tell about their years at Reed.
We are eager to recruit and train new interviewers, especially those with an interest in the 1970s-1980s time period at Reed. We also need assistance with the final reading of transcripts, background research, content descriptions, and updating our historical timeline. If you would like to help with the project--even if you have just a few hours a month to contribute--we will help you find an entertaining and meaningful role. You will also find the opportunity to reconnect with Reed and develop interesting multi-generational friendships with other alumni.
Please send us your suggestions regarding who should be interviewed from class years in the 1970s and 1980s, including yourself! The collection, preservation, and dissemination of Reed stories are gifts that only alumni can give to Reed College.

LONDON Stainless steel producer Outokumpu Oyj saw first-quarter earnings fall 80 percent compared with a year earlier as weak economic conditions weighed on prices.
First-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) totaled 12 million ($15.6 million), down from 61 million in the same period last year.
"The stainless steel market remained challenging during the quarter, mainly driven by continued economic weakness in Europe and partially also in the United States," chief executive officer Mika Seitovirta said.
Not all the news was grim. First-quarter sales totaled 2.22 billion ($2.9 billion), up 71 percent from 1.3 billion in the first three months of 2012.
"However, overall profitability remained at an unsatisfactory level, and we are taking decisive action to turn Outokumpu back to profitability," Seitovirta said.
The Espoo, Finland-based group also announced April 25 that it would be cutting 500 more jobs than it had initially anticipated as part of its four-year restructuring plan. A total of 2,500 workers will now be laid off.
Some 770 Outokumpu employees570 of them in Germanyare expected to lose their jobs this year.
"These planned job reductions are a difficult consequence of the necessary measures that we are taking to reach 200 million ($260 million) in synergy savings and 150 million ($195 million) in additional cost savings, and turn the company back to profitability," Seitovirta said.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - With 29 NFL teams sending scouts, coaches and other representatives to West Virginia University for Wednesday's pro day, it would be easy for Geno Smith to feel like the day was all about him.
After all, he was the reason ESPN and NFL Network crews were set up inside the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility capturing footage and breaking down his every move.
However, in the quarterback's eyes, pro day wasn't about him at all.
It was instead about Pat White, J.D. Woods, Jeff Braun and several other former Mountaineer players fighting to earn attention and, ideally, an NFL roster spot.
"I always said it was more for them than for me," Smith said. "Everyone is going to watch the tape and evaluate me and do their homework, but there's guys like Ryan Nehlen who didn't play as much, but tests as well as the best of them.
"To have a bunch of coaches and scouts out here to get a feel for those guys as well and see what they bring to the table is extremely promising for me, because I really appreciate what they did for me."
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin were in attendance and watched the proceedings from the field.
Bradley and other Jaguars representatives met with Smith following the workout for a meeting Smith said involved watching game film and getting to know him.
Smith said his meeting schedule isn't set in stone yet; he has a meeting with the Buffalo Bills March 22 and expects about a dozen more visits before the NFL draft, which starts on April 25.
"As of right now, I would expect between 10, 12, and maybe even more," Smith said. "They have to contact my agents and get dates set up, because I'm pretty sure they all will be calling soon."
The pro day consisted of two separate workouts: one with players from last season's team and another with players from previous years, both containing various combine exercises and other position-specific drills.
Smith participated in a passing workout, which consisted of throwing to former Mountaineer teammates Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Nehlen, Woods, Shawne Alston and Ryan Clarke as they ran routes ranging from 5 to 40 yards in front of scouts.
The combination of returning to Morgantown and having the opportunity to catch passes from Smith made the event an enjoyable one for Bailey.
"It was a lot of fun," he said. "Like I said, just being back in the building with those guys, catching balls, running routes [and] doing what we do - it was a good feeling."
Bailey and Austin, who participated in the passing workout, both have a private workout with the Carolina Panthers here today.

The Top 10 Most Illegally Downloaded Movies Of 2011
This is a list of the top ten most pirated movies of 2011. As you can see, a lot of people strongly believe in not paying to see a movie that's gonna blow but they're committed to watching anyways because they're that f***ing bored. That said, I honestly haven't seen a single movie on this list. Maybe they're all actually good, maybe I just spend too much time at the bar. NO REGRETS. (F***ing tons of regret)

Yamaha Electronics Corporation is bringing what it considers its most advanced feature sets yet to its latest series of moderately priced home audio/video receivers, including simple connection to the Apple iPod.
The new line includes the RX-V661 (90Wx7; MSRP $549.95), RX-V461 (100Wx5; MSRP $349.95) and RX-V361 (100Wx5; MSRP $229.95).
The receivers' Scene Mode is made to optimize the audio experience, providing four customizable pre-set listening modes for enjoying TV, DVDs, CDs and the radio. The company's proprietary Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology—available in the RX-V661 and RX-V461—and Optimizer Microphone simplify the home theater set-up process by automatically optimizing room acoustics via a parametric equalizer.
The RX-V661 and RX-V461 connect easily to the iPod via an optional iPod docking station (Yamaha YDS-10). Once docked, the iPod can be operated via the receivers' remote controls, and users can navigate audio and video content via an on-screen display on an entertainment system's TV or monitor. Video from a docked iPod can also be enjoyed on a big screen TV or monitor, and docked iPods are automatically charged.
All models in the line feature Yamaha's proprietary Compressed Music Enhancer technology, which restores the lost high and low frequency audio detail that occurs when music is being "ripped" or downloaded onto iPods and other portable audio players, yielding a more natural sounding listening experience that better recreates the original performance when experienced through home speakers, Yamaha says. All of the receivers are also compatible with XM Satellite Radio and XM HD Surround via optional XM Connect-and-Play home antennas and XM Satellite Radio subscriptions.
The RX-V661 and RX-V461 feature on-screen displays that allow users to easily navigate their entertainment experience, from finding a radio station, to selecting a song from CD or XM Satellite Radio, to monitoring all aspects of the audio system's status.
All units ship with a preset remote control. Visit www.yamaha.com/home for more information.

Eaton to sell Navy controls unit for $92.2M
Parsippany, N.J. - DRS Technologies Inc. said today it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Eaton Corp.'s Navy Controls division (NCD) for $92.2 million in cash.
DRS said the transaction is expected to close by 30 June.
Located in Milwaukee, Wis., and Danbury, Conn., the NCD supplies high-performance power conversion and instrumentation and control systems for the U.S. Navy's combatant fleet, including nuclear-powered and conventionally-powered ships, in addition to specialized industrial customers.
Products include ship electric propulsion equipment, power electronics equipment, high-performance networks, shipboard control equipment and control panels, tactical displays and specialty reactor plant instrumentation and control equipment.
"In its first 12 months of operation under DRS ownership, NCD is expected to contribute approximately $90 million to annual sales and $0.20 to diluted earnings per share," said Mark S. Newman, DRS Technologies' CEO. "Few companies have the customer relationships, requisite technical capabilities and market presence as Eaton's Navy Controls Division.
"With a major installed base of electronic equipment in the fleet, NCD stands to benefit from the Navy's backfit, transformational conversion and modernization initiatives, as well as from new ship installation," Newman said.
The DRS executive said NCD has captured key positions on next generation programs, including the Virginia class submarine and the CVNX future aircraft carrier, and has played a significant role in promoting electric drive propulsion for the Navy's next new ship design, the DD-X. NCD also designed and built the power electronics equipment for the Navy's highly successful LSV2 scale model submarine, the first vessel to operate with modern high-performance electric drive equipment.
NCD employs approximately 600 people and is comprised of four major product lines: Navy Nuclear Systems, Ship Control Systems/Networks, Propulsion Systems and Industrial Systems.
Eaton said it made the decision to sell the business because it does not fit the company's long term strategic plan. "Navy Controls is a solid business, but its product lines and customer base are very different from Eaton's mainstream electrical power distribution business," said Randy Carson, senior vice president and group executive.
Parsippany, N.J-based DRS Technologies products and services are focused on defense electronics, including a broad range of mission critical systems and components for communications, combat systems, rugged computers, electro-optics, data storage, digital imaging, flight safety and space.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Few details have been revealed in a Labor Day shooting that left a mother, father and their 9-year-old daughter dead and their 16-year-old son in custody
It has been a week since the Doddridge County Sheriff's Department released any information about the Sept. 3 shootings of Fredrick Spencer III; his wife, Dixie, and their daughter Patience.
They were killed by "multiple gunshot wounds" about 6 p.m. at their Mastons Road residence off W.Va. 18 North near West Union, according to last Friday's press release.
Their 16-year-old son, called "J.S' in the press release but identified by family members and his parents' obituaries as Joseph Spencer, has been arrested and as of last Friday was awaiting a pre-trial hearing, according to the release.
"A decision has not yet been made on whether the juvenile will be charged as an adult," the release said.
And that's all the police have said. Until the teen is charged as an adult, that's probably all they will say.
When an adult is charged with a crime, a criminal complaint is filed in the county's magistrate court.
Procedures work differently for juveniles. When someone under 18 is charged, cases begin with the filing of a "juvenile petition." Unlike criminal complaints, juvenile petitions are not available to the public.
"The juvenile records relevant to a charge of murder would not be available to the public until the juvenile case has been transferred to adult status," Kirk Brandfass, administrative counsel for the state Supreme Court, said in an email this week.
Adults charged with a crime make their first court appearance before a magistrate. Because Spencer is a juvenile, his first stop in the judicial system will be a closed preliminary hearing in circuit court.
If Doddridge County Prosecutor A. Brooke Fitzgerald wants to charge him as an adult, she would file a motion to transfer Spencer to adult status. The court would hold another closed hearing on that motion.

I have an Acer B113 with Windows 8 installed. The problem is that when I try to boot the USB with Ubuntu or Xubuntu, the computer only restarts (flipping the Acer screen and black display). When I pull the USB out, the Windows boot normally.
I cannot disable the secure boot in BIOS since this item is not editable there.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Funfetti Fringe
When I saw this tank, I fell in love, but unfortunately didn't have the $ to blow on it. Then I remembered a striped tank I bought from Target a while back and seldom wear and thought this might be a great DIY. Here's how it started out:
Overall, it's pretty quick and easy. The key is just cutting the seams off the bottom to make sure it curls properly. Did I mention this baby totally lends itself towards movement? Might be shredding a few more tops/dresses I believe...
DIY tank
Petit Bateau dresses
Theory sandals
PS I'm so incredibly flattered to be featured in HiFashion's style swap! I love checking out their blog whenever I'm online so make sure to take a look here!

Storing Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Nothing beats a well-developed strawberry, with all of the juices flowing and the sweet taste running down your chin. Perhaps you are not a big fruit fan, but a full crown of broccoli really gets you going. Either way, whether you like fruits or vegetables, or a combination of both, there are different ways to store them so they retain their freshness. Here are a couple of ways to store your delectable delights:
Open Spaces
Some fruits and vegetables are not supposed to be chilled. Bananas, for instance, are best left to their own devices, on the counter. Avocados are another fruit, believe it or not, that are usually left to ripen out in the open. The best judgment call to make is, however you find the fruit and vegetable in the grocery store, is probably the best way to store them at your house.
While some fruits and veggies are best left in the open air, others need to be refrigerated in order to maintain their vibrant color and great taste. Again, use the rule of thumb, wherever you find them in the store, keep them the same way at home. Leafy greens and vegetables with stalks or stems usually do best in the refrigerator, which slows down their ripening process.
A great way to store fruits and vegetables for the long haul is by freezing them. This takes them at the peak of their flavor and color and puts a sudden halt to the ripening process.
Before freezing vegetables, they should be blanched for a few minutes. This allows the colors to come out and the flavors to develop. Once they have been blanched, they should be left to cool to room temperature and then frozen individually before being bagged up. Laying them out on a sheet pan and put into the freezer for three to five hours can do this. Once they have started to freeze, then and only then, should they be bagged together.
Fruits are a little different. Because of the sugar content in most fruits, the cells need to retain the sugar content, so it is advised to freeze the fruits in simple syrup or a sugar compound with a little ascorbic acid to slow down the oxidation process. When oxidation occurs, the fruit turns discolored and brown, making it difficult on the eyes to stomach.
Another popular storage method for fruits and vegetables is to dry them in a food dehydrator. Dried foods can be stored in an air-tight container in your pantry for extended periods of time without worry of spoiling. Consult your dehydrator for the appropriate drying temperature and length of time for best results.
No matter how you store your fruits and vegetables, make sure you pick them at the peak of their ripeness and during the appropriate season. Once stored properly, you will be able to enjoy the best foods all year long and while others are digging through the grocery store, you can have the juices running down your chin.
Some items I recommend to help keep your foods fresher, longer are zip-loc baggies, air-tight containers and of course a vacuum sealer. All these items will help the process!

What has no doubt amplified the Highlanders difficulties is the expectation heaped on them pre-season, with more All Blacks coming on board an already formidable roster, but the tough cut throat nature of the competition, and New Zealand Conference, always seems to hang around one franchise.
This year that mantle has dropped onto the Highlanders - continuing a theme where one kiwi side struggle amongst what is generally regarded as the strongest conference of franchises.
Joseph, who led the Highlanders to record seven from nine starts in 2011 and 2012, has another year to run on his contract after this campaign, and Highlanders general manager Roger Clark told the Otago Daily Times the former All Blacks back row forward (30 Tests) would remain on board with the team.
So much has changed for the positive in the Deep South in recent years, and now another challenge needs to be started down by the proud region, and Clark gave Joseph his full backing.
"We picked him up a couple of years ago and re-signed him for another couple of years last year because of the results he has managed over the past couple of years," he said.
"Nothing has changed with that. The bottom line is the board and myself have got every confidence in Jamie. If anyone can turn it around then he can."
The Highlanders, who had the unwanted record of having the most 'close' finishes of any team in 2011 and 2012 despite their rampant start to those seasons, have lost their last five matches by less than 12 points, including a one point loss to the Reds and a four point defeat to the Hurricanes.
Clark said this showed the hardworking team was closing on that elusive win.
"We are not far off. And the thing is, with this competition, it is incredibly tough. If you are even 5% off your game then you will be found out," he said.
