The pocket hole jig from Harbor Freight is a pretty good investment if you plan on joining two pieces of wood at any point in the future. This jig is well worth the price since it's made well and is of high quality. It's made entirely of metal and not plastic like the other popular brand on the market. The other company gives you a free bit and a separate portable piece, but I still couldn't get past how much plastic they used in their product. The HF version can be used as a portable jig as well by using the included extra bracket. I fastened mine to a piece of plywood, so I can take it just about anywhere. Now here's one suggestion and one caution. Simple but effective: My suggestion for when the unit is in use, put a couple pieces of tape on the holes that you're not using. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally inserting the drill bit into the incorrect holes. My caution: Immediately after opening the box, take the screws that comes with the unit and place then in the trash. It's recommended that no pre-drilling is needed, but if you plan to use the provided screws, you would be better off pre-drilling the holes of the second piece of wood. Stop by your non orange hardware store and pick up a boxes of "pocket hole screws". Get the ones that use the square bits. Those screws are TRULY self tapping and goes in like butter.Overall, I will absolutely recommend buying this jig.

The thing is as others reviewed one of the best built HF tools you can find here. Compared to the K jig I also own, the machined aluminum body of the HF jig can last a life time for sure and the sliding adjustment for the hole distance is a feature that could be very handy in some circumstances. The biggest complain and also the design flaw is the end opening of the guiding hole. Since there is a big gap (which I supposed is meant for drill dust extraction) between the work piece and the end of the hole, there will be a lot of tear out. While on the K jig design there is no gap between the work piece and the jig, so very little tear out is left after drilling. More over since the drilling angle is universal among 1" and 3/4", the footprint of the hole is bigger than what the K jig leaves when working on the 3/4" work piece, simply because the angle on the K jig is adjustable. I compared the two jigs side by side using the same drill bit and drill, and I think I'll just return the HF one even though it has much better build quality, what a pity!

Very impressed

Comments about Drill Master Portable Pocket Hole Jig Kit:
Very impressed with this tool. I love that it is made of aluminum unlike some others of its kind that are made of plastic. This jig makes joinery very easy and simple. I used it to join boards to make a table top out of 2x6's. It feels very solid and well built. This tool doesn't look like it comes from HF but it does. Good job HF.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

home run tool
By the woodrattler
from hillsboro texas
I love this thing. It is a hf home run. Wish it had dust extraction but for half the price of one that does I can live with it.
Works Great
By GW
from Jacksonville,FL
The Pocket Hole Jig is extremely easy to use. This kit drills pocket holes in materials from 1/2" thick to 1 1/2" thick material with its two position hole guides. As a bonus you also get an easy to use portable guide plate. This works just as well as my blue unit for a much better price. This one of HF's gems.
Great Jig!
By Mil
from Philadelphia, PA
I have a few projects lined up that would benefit from making pocket holes rather than drilling straight through. This jig was definitely worth the money, especially after using a super cou pon. I haven't used the K Jig, but I would imagine that the Drill Master holds it own against it. I love the portable base that allows you to remove the guides from the mountable base so you can make pocket holes in items that may not fit in the mountable base. You won't regret buying this jig!

Works great!!!
By DIYer
from Arkansas
Purchased this for making simple frames for beds, shelving, work tables, etc. Works great, and at this price, you can't go wrong. Easy to adjust, construction is solid, it will probably last me forever. Lots of comments about the screws, and while they are not professional grade, I used them without any real difficulty. For major projects, you will probably want to get better quality ones.
High quality build. Worth the money.
By mrteentitan
from Munster, IN
I researched the reviews on this product before purchasing and everyone was accurate. This item works well and is worth the money. My only complaint is that it comes with some small parts which can be easy to lose. You'll need some sort of reliable container to keep them handy.

So good I look for reasons to use it.
By ASC2078
from Columbus, Ohio
About Me Professional
Probably one of the best quality tools that one will purchase from HF. It is such a cool tool that you will look for reasons to use it. It is also super easy to set up and use. Place a nickel (5 cent coin) on the metal base. Then slide the drill bit through the proper guide hole until it rest on the nickel. Then slide the stop collar down the drill bit until it rest on the top of the guide hole sleeve. Tighten the hex screw in the stop collar until it is secure. You are then set up and good to go.When you clamp your board into the jig to drill your pocket hole, the drill bit will not go all the way through the end of the board. It will be close but it is not supposed to go all of the way through the board and hit the metal base. Note: Instead of using the screws that came with the jig, pick up some good quality, square-drive, pocket hole screws, from your local big-box hardware store. For best results, use only square drive screws that are made specifically for pocket holes. With a good quality, Kreg type, pocket hole screw, you will not need an additional pilot hole in the board that you are joining to, even in hardwoods like oak.I also noted that the HF instruction manual and the HF video demo for this product were lacking. I found better demo videos for it surfing through "YT" video reviews.I hope this is helpful.DB -Columbus, Ohio

My favorite tool in the workshop
By Bare Wood
from Rockford, IL
I've had this for a couple months and I use it a couple times per week at least. It allows me to build things I never thought I could do, quickly and with greater quality. I've added shelves to places I never got around to before. The kit came with some screws that I found to be worthless, but other than that, it's great.Get it on sale or use a 20% deal and you'll never regret it!

By asudavew

The jig works great! The bit is decent too.The screws stink.This one is made of metal, unlike the blue one.Plus it is cheaper.Go ahead and buy it. You wont regret it. I used it to put 2x4's together for a 180 gallon aquarium stand. Think RocketEngineer's stand from RC.

The Cheney Blackhawks, the last unbeaten volleyball team in the Great Northern League, defeated Deer Park 25-15, 25-22, 25-21 on Thursday.
In each game, the teams played even at the start only to have the Blackhawks surge to a commanding lead.
In the first game, a 5-5 deadlock quickly became a 16-5 lead behind the serving of Cheney's Sami Sheffels.
The Riverside Rams, who were pushed around for most of the game, shoved back at the most opportune time on Friday.
The Rams, who saw Lakeside run 49 plays in the first three quarters (as compared to 29 of their own), responded with a pair of fourth quarter touchdown to edge the Eagles 14-10 in Northeast A League action.
The win improved the Rams' NE-A record to 1-1 and 2-2 overall. It was the NE-A opener for the Eagles (1-3).
"We stopped them when we needed to," said Riverside interim head coach Mark Vannatter. "We made plays."
The Springdale Chargers couldn't wait for their second football game this season.
The Chargers, who were routed by Tekoa-Oaksdale in their season opener two weeks ago, scored the first time they touched the ball, a 58-yard punt return by Shane O'Malley in a 48-0 win over Liberty (0-3) on Friday.
Unfortunately, O'Malley's punt return was called back by a clipping penalty. It did not matter, since Mitch Peone legally scored a 45-yard run two plays later and the Chargers were in control the rest of the way.
Deer Park's special teams lived up to its name in the Stags' 37-19 win over Lakeside on Friday.
The unit was indeed special in contributing a kickoff return for a touchdown and a fumble recovery of a Lakeside kickoff return in the first half as well as bottling up the Lakeside attack in the second half. The Eagles (0-2) average start after Stag kickoffs in the second half was their own 16-yard line.
"It definitely controlled the field possession in the second half," said Stag head coach Keith Stamps, who saw his team improve to 2-0 this fall.
The Deer Park Lady Stags buried their Riverside counterparts 12-1 on Tuesday in the season opener for both schools.
The got the goal-scoring avalanche started at the 13-minute mark when Ashton Martinson beat Riverside goalkeeper Brittany Hoog. It was the first of four goals Martinson scored in the first half.
The Lady Rams' Ashley Uhlenkott scored Riverside's lone goal at the 32-minute mark. The Lady Stags responded with three more goals before intermission.
Leading 8-1 at halftime, the Lady Stag coaching staff used the reserves for the majority of the second half.
The Deer Park Stags rolled up 398 yards of total offense in their season opener on Friday but none were as important as the final 6 of them.
Wide receiver Caleb Guske covered those final precious 18 feet when he hauled in a touchdown pass from Colton Mead with 25 seconds remaining to secure a 37-33 win over Chewelah. It was Mead's fourth touchdown pass of the game.
"I meant to get him the ball," said Mead on the Stags' final offensive play of the game. "He's a good basketball player and he can leap."
Mead finished 19 of 28 for 270 yards.

A303 near Chard to close for entire weekend (From This is The West Country)

A303 near Chard to close for entire weekend
2:20pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Hannah Green
ROAD users near Chard could face delays as a result of a more than 48-hour closure over the weekend.
The A303 between the Southfields roundabout (the junction with the A358) and Devonshire House (the junction with the A30) will be closed from 12midnight tomorrow (Friday, February 28) until 1am on Monday (March 3).
The Highways Agency will be carrying out 'essential' drainage work on the stretch of the busy road.
Highways Agency project manager Rachel Scott said: "This work is essential in order to improve drainage on this section of the A303 and will significantly enhance safety for road users. We do advise drivers affected by the closure to plan ahead and leave extra time for their journeys.
"The work requires a full closure of the A303 in order to excavate in the middle of the road. It will include replacing a number of pipes and reinstating sections of embankment and pavement which have been eroded by repeated incidents of flooding from adjacent fields.
"At this time of year traffic flows are at their lowest over the weekend, so a weekend closure minimises the impact on road users."
During the closure clearly signed diversions will be in place. Westbound traffic will be diverted onto the A358 via Chard and then onto the A30, while eastbound traffic will be diverted onto the A30 via Chard and then onto the A358.

Or has Southfields Roundabout been moved when I wasn't looking.
Perhaps a map on the office wall would be a good idea so locations can be checked.
And the photo? Can't recall seeing that place on the 303 either near Ilminster.

Phesto Dee, a quarter of the membership of Souls of Mischief, is arguably the most vicious and complex lyricist in the whole Hiero camp. Phesto's respect in the game has recently been documented and highlighted on the new documentary, "'Til Infinity," which is set to premiere on April 6 at 9 p.m. at the Black Repertory Theatre, as a part of the Oakland International Film Fest.
March 20, 2014
The story of Souls of Mischief and their crew Hieroglyphics is the story of how Oakland became respected for its lyricism in a genre that was dominated by East Coast wordsmiths. It is a story told by Shomari Smith in his new documentary, "'Til Infinity," which is about the 20th anniversary of the Souls of Mischief classic album. "'Til Infinity" will be premiering at the Oakland International Film Fest on April 6 at 9 p.m. at the Black Rep Theatre.

We don't want Americanized Versions from Voltage
Voltage is planning to release more of the My Romance Series a.k.a the Americanized version of their Japanese games... some know them as the creepy version. They have done it to Be My Princess (A Prince's Proposal) and My Lover's a Thief and they think we want more but this petition's purpose is to tell them... STOP IT, we don't want anymore and stop wasting time on these and gives us the GREE or non-GREE versions (but not the Americanized version) of the games instead.

Dave Ramsey challenges Republicans and Democrats to do math.
In a recent segment on his show Dave Ramsey challenged both republicans and democrats to do the math on Obamacare. His thoughts were recently posted to YouTube and already have over half a million views.
"You're not exempt from math if you're a Republican, and you're not exempt from math if you're a Democrat."
In the video Ramsey says that the cost of Obamacare will be passed on to the individual. What do you think? Do you agree with his math?

Hi All,
Can anyone let me know of getting a selection list box or markable list box on the main pane(view). There is no proper help on the implementation of the UI controls which are compatible with Series-60.
We are able to get a list box with CEikColumnListBox.. But again the problem is the list view is divided into 3 virtual coulmns
ABC.. To use a list view with only one column I need to combine these virtual columns.. Can anyone get back on this..
Also the implementation of the listbox with CSelectionListDialog is a problem with the lack of help on Series-60 SDK..
Any help on the above will be highly appreciable.

We made stops at Kinderdijk, Netherlands, Cologne, Koblenz, Miltenberg, Wurzburg, Rothenberg, Bamberg, Nuremberg, Regensburg, Passau, all in Germany, then to Melk, Durnstein, and Vienna, Austria, then Bratislava, Slovakia, and finally to Budapest, Poland.
The food was not great but what I would call very good, and the accommodations, typical of any cruise weve been on, were small but clean. Every stop had a tour, some on a bus, then walking, some simply walking tours. We also had a number of optional excursions, one of them a fabulous trip to Rothenberg, a medieval city in Germany. Viking also had a number of enrichment programs on the ship, with talks on windmills, Germany, the European Union, and Vienna. There were also classical music and Hungarian folk performances, and a glass blowing demonstration on the ship.
Cruising the Rhine and Danube offered many incredible picture opportunities with simply breathtaking scenery.
We had a super time.highly recommended.

Grants Management:
EPA Needs to Better Document Its Decisions for Choosing between Grants and Contracts
GAO-04-459: Published: Mar 31, 2004. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Grants and contracts constitute over two-thirds of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) budget. In fiscal year 2003, EPA awarded $3.6 billion in grants directed by Congress, $656 million in grants awarded at its own discretion, and $934 million in contracts. Under the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977, whether EPA should award a grant or a contract depends upon the principal purpose of the award. In this context, GAO was asked to determine (1) the trends over the last 11 years on EPA's expenditures on discretionary grants and contracts and the types of goods and services obtained by each and (2) the extent to which EPA has and follows procedures for deciding when to use grants or contracts.
EPA's funding for discretionary grants and contracts had similar trends from fiscal years 1993 through 2003, suggesting limited migration between these funds in EPA's budget over this period. Although EPA grants data provide little information on goods and services obtained with discretionary grants, GAO estimates, based on its survey of grantees with grants closed in fiscal years 2001 and 2002 and that had project start dates after October 1, 1997, that the majority of goods and services fell into three categories: (1) research and development; (2) training, workshops, and education; and (3) journals, publications, and reports. EPA has specific procedures to guide decisions on choosing grants or contracts but often has not followed a very important one--documenting in its award decision memorandums the reasons for choosing a grant instead of a contract. EPA procedures define staff roles and responsibilities, provide examples of when to use a grant or a contract, and require documentation in the award decision memorandum to justify the use of a grant or a contract. However, in 64 percent (43 of 67) of the memorandums GAO reviewed, EPA did not fully justify its reasons for choosing a grant instead of a contract. It is unclear whether this shortcoming obscured inappropriate decisions to use grants instead of contracts. On the one hand, GAO's survey results showed that an estimated 8 percent of EPA's discretionary grantees would identify EPA as the primary and direct beneficiary. This estimate could suggest that the principal purpose of the grant award was acquiring property or services for EPA's direct benefit, and that EPA should have awarded some grants as contracts. However, for those grantees who identified EPA as the grant's primary and direct beneficiary, GAO's review of grant files and follow-up interviews indicated that some of these grants benefited both the federal government and the public and therefore could arguably have been awarded as either a grant or a contract.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Administrator of EPA should consider ways to improve project officers' compliance with EPA's requirement to properly document in award decision memorandums the justification for using a grant or a cooperative agreement instead of a contract.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to the GAO report, on March 16, 2005, EPA issued new guidance to its offices to help them improve the documentation of the assistance versus acquisition decision. Specifically, the guidance is designed to assist program offices prepare more effective and comprehensive justifications for documenting acquisition versus assistance and grants versus cooperative agreement decisions. Several examples of good justifications are described in the memo. It also reminds them that a justification must be provided for all assistance agreements.

House Begins Work on Farm Bill
The House approved the rules of debate on the amendments to the House farm bill and started debating the amendments Wednesday. There are 103 amendments to be considered. An amendment offered by Representative Bob Gibbs of Ohio to set target prices for all crops at 55-percent of the five-year rolling Olympic average was withdrawn. House Ag Chair Frank Lucas asked Gibbs to withdraw the amendment and promised to work with Gibbs in the conference committee to see an equitable and market-oriented farm bill enacted. The House rejected an amendment to restore 20.5-billion dollars to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by voice vote. Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern wanted to restore the cuts by offsetting crop insurance - the Farm Risk Management Election Program and the Supplemental Coverage Option. The House also narrowly defeated an amendment to change the food aid program as proposed by the Obama Administration. The vote was 220 to 203.

Home Depot story a goof

Would'nt it be wonderful if one of our silicon valley high tech companies like HP, Apple, Google,Yahoo or HP would just donate the $250,000?? What a win win situation. Good press & public realtions for the company and of course the real win-helping these day workers out.

No Chris, it would not be wonderful if that meant Home Depot would be given approval to move into a location where they are not wanted. They are the wrong tenant for San Antonio Center. They won't bring more foot traffic to the failing Taco Del Mar or Dollar Store next to the Sears. Home Depot is not wanted in Mountain View. They were already denied a reasonable location in Mountain View at El Camino and 85. San Antonio Center is a much worse location for a Home Depot than that one. Fortunately our City Council does seem to recognize that fact.
The area around San Antonio Center actually needs a new elementary school which is part of Los Altos School District (LASD). The Sears site is big enough and could be designed into a great new school with welcome playing fields and community meeting space. It might even be big enough to house the Bullis Charter School (BCS) too. It seems obvious that LASD is not going to move BCS to the Bullis-Purissima site.
The new 2008 attendance area boundaries approved by LASD last month show Santa Rita Elementary will be over crowded again by 2012. If the board of LASD truly wants to fix the mess and develop a long-term solution, they should prepare their upcoming bond measure to include the development of a new school at the Sears site.
on Jul 10, 2007 at 5:01 pm
The only people that DONT want Home Depot appear to be a few locals and the new members of the council! This site has nothing to do with the first one, and the problems of the Los Altos schools are not relevant-- I cant imagine the owners of SASC agreeing to such a deal-- that would have a massive negative impact on the whole center!
Home Depot would send a LOT of tax revenue into the LASD, and I think that the traffic impact would be negligable based on the site. What is your objection to that particular tenant there?

Well my boyfriend (yes I am so ashamed of this) of 8 months decided that he wasn't mature enough to pursue the relationship any further and decided to call time on us. Basically I have been dumped because he wasn't prepared to commit to some sort of compromise in the troubles that we had already been having. We are both young so I do understand his issue with lacking maturity.
However, I am regretting the physical aspect of out relationship, I am reminded that he was once mature enough to promise that he would not hurt/leave/betray me and therefore got some 'privileges' from my stupidity (although they were fairly minor). I am regretting doing this due to the obvious implications in life and on judgement day etc..
I was wondering what we could both do to improve our Islamic prospects, we are still in contact and I am sure that he will understand my issue and take on board any advice. I am wondering whether there are any duas, advice that you may advise me with.
I have already prayed numerous times begging for forgiveness and guidance but I am un-sure about what else I can do. I was thinking about pursuing the relationship (if possible and within limit) in the hope of leading to marriage (to try and make our sins a little bit more acceptable if we do ever become husband and wife), or to ask our respective parents for their advice.
I would appreciate any guidance on this. Regards!

The average cost of diesel and gasoline in the United State has retreated slightly after some recent gains.
The U.S. Energy Department's weekly roundup, a day later than usual due to Memorial Day, shows the average price of a gallon of diesel has fallen 1 cent to $3.88 per gallon, following two straight weekly increases totaling 4.5 cents. The current price is less than two cents lower than the same time a year ago.
Prices were mixed in the various parts of the country, with no change recorded in the Gulf Coast region and the New England sub-region of the East Coast, at $3.775 and $3.991, respectively. The Gulf Coast has the least expensive average cost while New England is the highest.
Prices moved higher in the Central Atlantic sub-region of the East Coast region by 0.3 cents to $3.928 and by 1.5 cents to $3.863 in the Rocky Mountain region.
All other regions recorded a drop with the largest being in the West Coast region, losing 2.2 cents to $3.986 per gallon.
The average price of gasoline fell 2.8 cents during the same time period to $3.645. Gasoline prices had posted thee consecutive weekly hikes where it picked up just over 15 cents.
Gas prices range from a low of $3.366 in the Gulf Coast region to $3.933 in the West Coast Region. Both regions along with the Midwest showed declines over the previous week while prices in all other parts of the country headed higher.
Oil on Tuesday settled at $95.01 per barrel at the close of trading in New York. Although it added 86 cents on the day, it's down a little more than $1.50 from a week ago yesterday. The Tuesday jump was attributed in part to a report showing consumer confidence in the U.S. increased significantly this month to a more than five-year high, following a hike in April.

No one was injured in the incident.
As many as 16 people were rescued after the blaze erupted on the 19th floor of the 26-storeyed Jolley Maker building in Cuffe Parade area at about 3.45 AM, they said.
At least nine fire tenders, two water tankers and two ambulances were rushed to the spot.
During the rescue operation, the people trapped on the 19th floor and above were rescued and the flames were doused by 9.15 AM, officials said.
The situation is under control and cooling operations are underway, they added.
Fire brigade officials suspect that short-circuit could have triggered the blaze.

Catherine Owsik, student and online science journalist
Fourth-year biology major Catherine Owsik loves reading and thinking about science, and thrives on the challenge in making complicated scientific ideas more accessible. That's why she started an online magazine called Nerve to explore issues in science, technology and engineering.
With two issues already posted since August, and a third posted online today, Nerve continues to grow its readership. Ms Owsik, 21, was recently profiled in the Scientific American Incubator, the popular science magazine's regular feature on the next generation of science writers and journalists.
She's been interested in writing from a young age, but a two-year stint at the Queen's Journal, first as a copy editor, then as an assistant news editor allowed her to get her feet wet in journalism. It was a lot of work but it taught her a very strong work ethic.
Ms Owsik did most of the writing for the first issue herself, but she is continually encouraging more people to contribute. She credits the closeness of the Queen's community for Nerve's success so far.
"People are really intrigued by it," she says. "And there is a great sense of support. It makes people more comfortable to open up and try writing if they've never done it before."
Ms Owsik juggles the demands of both the magazine and her academic coursework. Her sights are set on a future she hopes will allow her to continue exploring other forms of science journalism, including television. The blogs editor at Scientific American magazine has also invited her to present at ScienceOnline2013 a conference exploring the intersection of science and the web.
She feels incredibly passionate about her project and extremely lucky and thankful her friends have been so supportive. She also credits Queen's for her successes so far, explaining that her studies have played a big part because she's been able to see the range of science that's available.
Ms Oswik admits she almost attended a different university, only switching to Queen's at the last minute. But she acknowledges it's one of the best decisions she's made in her life!

Christina Milian calls off her engagement, Robert Downey Jr. suits up for The Judge, and who were the true inventors of the selfie?
We want to stand up today and salute the hottest arms in Hollywood. That's right. We're looking at you: Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Channing Tatum, every guy who's ever been in a Marvel movie… It's about time these guys got our full appreciation for putting so much time and energy into building dem biceps.
Is the Spanish Breaking Bad going to be your new Breaking Bad? Is Emile Hirsch going to be a dad? Why does the new Thor movie look so much like Game of Thrones?
The movie world is rejoicing because Iron Man 3 opens wide today! Robert Downey Jr's character Tony Stark may be a super hero, but that's not all: He also has one of the most super kickass houses in cinema history. It's pretty amazing- but still, no one can stay in one place forever. What's he going to do when he wants to pack up his iron suit in a U-Haul and find a new abode? Maybe one that will give him a shorter commute to world-savings. Well don't worry Tony, we've going through the film real estate listings and came up with 10 spots that are almost as cool as your current spread. And we won't even charge you a brokers fee. Read on and check out the 10 coolest (fictional) houses in movie history!

Nobody is above the law, not even the rich and famous! Even though we mostly just think of their cushy life style, a surprising number of stars have done time in the clink. And not just overnights from DUIs, either. We're talking long stretches and serious sentences. Hard time, y'all!
And did Robert Downey Jr. get Gwyneth Paltrow to crack up with his lederhosen at the Munich Iron Man 3 photocall? Is family friendly comic Ellen DeGeneres starting a family of her own? Plus, last night American Idol made history. All this in today's First Dibs.
Hello, gentlemen! We could not with a clear conscience ignore the proliferation of extremely handsome men at the People's Choice Awards because they really brought their A-Game. So many sharply-cut suits! Eddie Redmayne and Giancarlo Esposito already made it to our best-dressed list, but we're talking about you, Ian Somerhalder, all sexy in your classic black tie combination. J.D Pardo did the same in the best fitted blazer and suit we're see in a long time. Jensen Ackles actually pulled off a deep maroon suit with a black shirt — but it's impossible to make that man look anything other than gorgeous. Chris Colfer ditched a jacket completely and opted for skinny trousers and a skinnier tie and worked the whole thing like a pro. We're also giving out props to Jesse Williams who added a little something' extra to his suit by adding a pair of purple suede shoes. The impossibly good looking Matt Bomer added a little texture to his deep navy suit with a grey pocket square and a Madras-checked shirt. We're counting The Wanted as one unit — one very hip, way cool unit. Their stylists need a raise. But we'd like to hand the best-dressed trophy to our number one guy, Robert Downey Jr. That grey suit, that pizazz and those metallic sneakers? Take a bow, sir.

Russell Brand sure does like the pop stars! Less than a year after his split with teenage dream Katy Perry, the comedian was photographed leaving the home of Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. It's been rumored that the two have started a romance after getting reacquainted at the Olympic closing ceremony earlier this month. "Geri has said they have a spiritual connection through yoga and they practise asana together," a friend told Britain's Sun paper. "'Russell is known for action between the sheets but he is actually very good at just sitting still in silence. It is something that has acted as a bond for he and Geri as their relationship blossoms."

Today Abraham Lincoln gets reborn on the silver screen as you've never seen him before in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter! We're pretty pumped to watch Honest Abe kick Dracula's ass, but those blood sucking fiends aren't the scariest part of the movie. It's downright eerie how much star Benjamin Walker resembles the 12th POTUS! Those steely eyes, the bushy brows, the Amish beard…it's all there!
Countless icons of the past have been popping up in Hollywood lately. Lindsay Lohan has been working overtime to bring Elizabeth Taylor back to life in Liz & Dick, while Ashton Kutcher is taking a more zen approach to his role in the Steve Jobs biopic. Andre 3000 is a dead ringer for the dead guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, and Julianne Moore could practically be Sarah Palin's twin. If you put those two in a room with Tina Fey, we'd be totally screwed. Hell, even Benjamin Walker has some competition for Lincoln look-alike with Daniel Day Lewis also taking on the role!
For your viewing pleasure, we've assembled the 20 most scarily accurate celebrity portrayals of historical figures. Some rely on insane prosthetic and makeup, like Anthony Hopkins taking on the great Alfred Hitchcock. Others like Jared Leto and Charlize Theron just do totally nutty things to their body. And some, like Denzel Washington as Malcolm X, are just born with it. But no matter how they got there, the end result is always unforgettable. Take a look in the gallery below!

I do wish that they would have moved the BULB mode past C1-C3. I use it sometimes, but not as often as I would C1, and the chance that I miss and leave it in BULB is too great.
Not that I have a 5DIII, but I really like that C3 is the end of the dial on my 7D and 5DII. My C3 setting is sort of 'OMG I've got to capture that' setting (birds in flight, etc.), and being able to just spin the dial until it stops. I'll miss that on my 1D X.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Milin Good Product The Polar Loop was a Mother's Day gift, which I have enjoyed using everyday to track my daily level of activity. It is comfortable to wear and easy to read. It keeps a daily diary of activity levels, calories burned, sleeping habits and encourages you to keep active throughout the day to meet your goals. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by katlyn It works fine and have had no trouble It helps me keep track of what exercise I do and along with my blood pressure and heart rate it keeps my days on target. June 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by jerryg Need to include directions Would be really nice if they would give people directions on how to program it, then trying to program it to other devices. May 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by MLM Used I bought it online, the loop box was previously opened and the loop was already cut to a very small size. I returned it to a local store. May 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by reildeal Looped Activity tracker is great way to see how much a activity you actually do, as long as it is accurate. Jury is out on the accurate this is. Comfortable and has the features I prefer. April 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Pia Polar loop Formerly I had a fit bit which was recalled. I picked this product because I enjoy swimming and it is water proof. It was extremely difficult to set up the program. It took two long trips to Dicks and some very patient staff to finally get it to sync with my iPad. Now that it is working, I am happy with the product. April 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Shark Good product So far so good. I like it. I am surprised how difficult it is to get to 10k steps. April 5, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Dan Needs work Bought this to replace my Fitbit Force which was recalled. I bought it cause it looked nice, and the clasping system was far better than the Fitbit. I also wanted one that was compatible with my android phone. Got it, it looked great. It would not sync to my android phone which is one that Polar claims it was compatible with. After making several attempts at syncing I took it back. April 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by NJ_Steve Love the Polar Loop I love the Polar Loop. I have never worn an activity tracker but I compared this to: * Fitbit Force * LifeTrak * NIke Fuelband * several others In the end, I picked the Polar Loop over the others for 2 reasons. First it's waterproof, so you can shower and swim with it, and it can connect to a wearable heart rate monitor. Everything else about it, is pretty much the same as other wearable activity trackers. It's very comfortable, although I did have to cut the band 3x to make it fit....a bit of annoyance, but it shouldn't be a show-stopper. Be careful though, those pins you have to remove are spring loaded and can shoot across the room. I charge mine twice a week - I have gone 5 days before seeing the LOW BAT notification, but I like to charge every few days to sync my data. I know some of the devices don't need the cable to sync data, but again this is not a show stopper for me. Other than for charging/syncing, I have not taken the device off for 2 months other than to charge/sync . I think it's stylish...people are always asking me what it is. Some people complain the button only works 1/2 the time, that just isn't so - if the back of the unit is pressed against your skin the button works all the time...I think this feature prevents the unit from operating if it's not being worn. Also some people have claimed the heart rate monitor (H7 chest strap# doesn't pair well - I find that if you take water and put it on your chest and wet the back of the strap it works 100% of the time. I work out using the HRM about 10-12 minutes a day during the week and 30-40 minutes during the weekend - it makes the calorie count VERY accurate and I like seeing the reports about what Zones I've been working out in...it allows me to target my heart rate for maximum effect #FIT vs. FAT burning) during my workouts. Their website in January was very buggy - but since February I haven't had any problems and I'm very happy. These things are supposed to motivate you, and I can tell you that at 9:00 PM if I see I'm at 9,000 steps and haven't hit my goal - off the couch I go for a walk with the dog until I hit GOAL or 10,000 steps....so it's really upped my activity level! So why the 4 stars...the problems I had in January with the website...I just have to ding them a point. February 26, 2014

Analog Way has released Smart MatriX, a high-end scaled matrix with native hi-res output and four scalers. Advanced matrix features and various effects make it appropriate for high-end installations and houses of worship applications requiring the display of several sources on multiple screens.
With up to 12 inputs, including four fitted with SDI and two fitted with DVI-D, and 100% digital processing, the system also outputs digital and analog signals in DVI and VGA (RGBHV) simultaneously with a selection of many formats from HDTV to Computer 2K. It offers a 12x2 scaled native matrix mode with seamless switching. The switch between any of the 12 inputs can be in cut or fade and synchronized on the two outputs.
In addition, Smart MatriX offers PIP features in matrix mode: up to two PIPs can be displayed on a still background by output, one PIP on a still background with seamless effects, or one PIP with title effects on a live background. PIPs can be customized by the users with various attributes: borders, movements, pan, and zoom resizing up to 1,000%; open/close animation; flying, zooming, and cropping PIPs; cut, fade, and wipe.
A mirror function allows display of a PIP sent on the first output on the second output. The PIP size and position are automatically restored on the second display, reducing the number of manipulations for the operator. The user can select axial or non-axial symmetry for the PIP sent on the second output.
Logo and full frame can be recorded in the non-volatile memory: eight still logos, including an animated one, and eight full screen frames. These elements can be uploaded from computer files via Ethernet LAN or RS232 connections or acquired from the displayed image.
The integrated audio stereo switcher features 12 inputs (eight analog and four from embedded SDI) and two outputs. An additional auxiliary input can be mixed into any output. Master volume and individual input level can be adjusted. Each input and output offers balanced or unbalanced connections.
The video output card provides SD or HD TV formats in various signals from composite video to HD SDI. This output can be used to record the show through four different display modes. Thanks to a new non-proprietary link, the video out can be used with any cable. The unit is fully controllable via its supplied remote control software, from the Orchestra, or from the new Axion 2 remote consoles, and it is equipped with TCP/IP and dual RS232.
Smart MatriX is also available in a Light Edition.

Mickey's Shamrock Shorts Cookies
When it comes to Mickey's wardrobe, red is the color of choice any day of the week -- save one! Come Saint Patrick's Day, even the Mouse will be wearing green. Decorated with white chocolate shamrock buttons, these festive cookies are a perfect fit for a holiday party or classroom treat.
You'll need:
- Template for Mickey's Shamrock Shorts Cookies
- Scissors
- Batch of sugar cookie dough (homemade or store bought)*
- Rolling pin
- Flour
- Wax paper
- Kitchen knife
- Baking sheets
- Cooling rack
- Green cookie icing (the kind that hardens when it sets up)
- White chocolate chips
- Small microwavable mixing bowl
* Note: If the store-bought brand of dough you use is too soft to hold the cookie shapes while baking, you can knead in a little extra flour to stiffen it before rolling it out.
1. Print and cut out the Mickey's Shamrock Shorts Cookies template.
2. Heat the oven. Working on a flour-dusted sheet of wax paper, roll out the chilled dough to ¼-inch thickness. Use the template piece and a kitchen knife to cut Mickey short shapes from the dough. Bake the cookies according to the recipe directions and then let them cool completely.
3. Meanwhile, melt a small handful of white chocolate chips in the microwave according to the package directions. Spread the melted candy on wax paper and set it aside for a few minutes to harden. Once it's ready, cut the candy into thin slivers to use for the shamrock stems, and set them aside for now.
4. Working with one cookie at a time, spread the tops with green cookie icing. Before the icing sets, add two shamrock buttons. For each, press three white chocolate chips (tips down) into the icing, and add a tiny candy stem.
5. Set the decorated cookies aside for the icing to harden (four hours or so) before serving.

School board gives tentative nod to drug dogs at schools

I think its a really good idea, but think about it, if the kids are going to bring drugs onto campus and then get expelled for them, its going to 1. give pleasanton a bad reputation along with all of the highschools. 2. If the kids see that there are dogs and police raiding their cars and what-not they're going to rebel and keep doing them. Hearing that there have been 26 expulsions by foothill already for "drug busts" thats honestly pathetic and sad for the younger generations. Only a few years ago my graduating class realized there was a "fad" of drugs that the younger generations were getting themselves into. It's scary and sad. The kids think its "cool" to do them, when its absoultely trashy and white trash. It's smart to try and prevent the kids from drinking and doing drugs but when it comes down to it, its their choice. Yes, instrict rules and punishments for them but having drug dogs? its making pleasanton look really ghetto and trashy.

PUSD can count on an expensive lawsuit if they move forward with this policy. Please read my comments on the other threads where I explain my objections.
on Jan 15, 2012 at 9:06 pm
Interesting commentary when we just straight to lawsuit threats when we dont like a decision. Actually before a decision is even made! Its the new "I'm telling on you" except along with it goes the threat of financially ruining a school district and police force over something that is within their legal rights.

It's been discussed before, with some sound reasoning.
Why not get rid of some of the city parks Logansport has and focus on a few of the larger ones?
For starters however, some "parks" maintained by the Parks and Recreation Department aren't really what most people think of as a park at all. Let's take Memorial Park at the west edge of the Market Street bridge for instance. It's not a place where children can enjoy a playground or a family can have a picnic. It's the type of property that really should be under the auspices of the Public Works Department, the combined forces of the former Street Department and Cemetery Department. Memorial Park honors the war dead, and if it's eliminated, at least its intent should be reflected somewhere else in the community.
Then there's the issue of places such as Heritage Park downtown. Through the efforts of Heritage Preservation Gala held at the Cass County Memorial Center for several years, that park was established. If it's sold, that's a little less green space for downtown if it's demolished. And what about the fountain in the middle? It's over a century old and was completely redone about a decade ago. Should something that's been in the community that long suddenly become available on eBay if the park is sold?
Burkhart Park was added during the Vernon administration. It, too, is not a park in the traditional sense, but it's located at one of the focal point intersections of the community. It was part of an agreement with Burkhart Advertising.
Dunwoody Park is a quiet, little-used park on the Eel River just a couple of blocks from Riverside Park. It could use more amenities, but it also could be the location of a once-discussed "bark park," a place to walk dogs or let canines run any time of the year.

These unique, tiger striped Wild harvested heirloom nuts are 100% RAW, 100% unique, and 100% delicious. They're also loaded with vitamin E, polyphenols, antioxidants, resveratrol, niacin, oleic acid and plenty of protein (including all 8 essential amino acids). So enjoy by the handful, in trail mixes, or blended into nut milks.
Unlike conventionally grown peanuts, these wild heirloom nuts have grown in the Amazon for thousands of years. They are naturally free of the aflatoxins present in most conventional peanuts and often responsible for negative reactions to peanuts. Get all the benefits of peanuts without and toxins. Our wild jungle peanuts are rigorously tested and show less than 10 ppb (parts-per-billion) aflatoxins.
These beautiful, wild peanuts are gently dried at low temperatures. To be sure these are RAW, living, nuts, we sprouted some jungle peanuts.
Direct from the pristine Amazonian rainforest, our one-of-a-kind, un-roasted, RAW, Wild Jungle Peanuts are harvested by the indigenous Achuar people on their land in a remote region near the border of Ecuador and Peru and flown out on small planes. The purchase of these wild nuts supports the preservation of Achuar culture and their traditional way of life. The income from this shade-grown product (one of many we are developing with the Achuar) supports their campaign, coordinated by their allies at Amazon Watch (www.amazonwatch.org) to gain legal title to their ancestral lands, keep out oil companies and protect Mother Earth.
Warnings: Keep out of reach of children. As with all dietary supplements, consult your healthcare professional before use. See product label for more information.

Cabaret is glamorous. No, not Cabaret, the Kander & Ebb musical which actually refers to kabaret, a completely different kind of entertainment — political, often incendiary songs and sketches in Berlin between the Wars — but cabaret, grown-up songs sung by grown-up singers in beautiful gowns (that's the women) and tuxedos (that's the men) alone in a spotlight in dark, intimate spaces in the best part of town. In New York we used to have the Oak Room at the Algonquin, the epitome of sophisticated cabarets, where the likes of Karen Akers, Steve Ross, and KT Sullivan held sway, singing the songs of the likes of Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, Irving Berlin and, yes, Kander & Ebb, as you'd never heard them before. Now, alas, someone has decided that what New York really needed was not a legendary cabaret room, but another bar. So it's closed — as will be another of the great cabarets, Feinstein's at the Regency. Although there are still a few places for the great cabaret performers to play — 54 Below has opened on West 54th Street — they don't have the historic cachet of the Oak Room.
Nor the glamour, which brings me back to my original point. All is not lost — in fact, for those willing to travel a little further afield for their Irving Berlin and George Gershwin fix, cabaret flourishes. In London. The great American entertainers — Akers, Ross, and Sullivan, among many others — are crossing the Atlantic to appear at a brand new cabaret room redolent of the great days of glamour. The Crazy Coqs is an Art Deco gem right on Piccadilly Circus. It looks like a Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie, only in color — bold designs, red velvet, shiny black floor. And oh, so glamorous and exclusive.
And the Crazy Coqs is not alone. London is becoming the new center of cabaret, with nightspots popping up all over the place. One with real history is the Matcham Room. Older cabaret lovers will remember it as The Talk of the Town, London home of Judy Garland and other luminaries. Now it's part of the Hippodrome, a gambling casino right on Leicester Square in the middle of theatreland. Bigger than the Crazy Coqs, with 180 seats, it can house larger bands on its generous stage; I recently saw a wonderful show there featuring Adam Guettel, grandson of Richard Rodgers, and several other singers, all performing his music from The Light in the Piazza and Floyd Collins.
Deep in the bowels of London's newest theatre, the St. James, is a beautiful studio space that reserves its weekends for cabaret now. That fine actor Anne Reid, much beloved here, does a charming evening of song and reminiscences while that wicked duo, Kit and McConnel, entertain with songs and parodies.
Even the Savoy Hotel, which in times past used to be famous for its elegant cabarets and then stopped, is getting into the act with a monthly surprise for its guests, and, at the other end of the elegance scale, the Pheasantry on the King's Road has a dizzying variety of acts, a different one each night, which it serves up with pizza.
The lure of cabaret's simplicity — a world created by one singer alone in a spotlight with a piano and an audience — is great and it's fun to see London emerging at its center.Continued...

Welcome to the Lost Ladybug Project
Across North America ladybug species composition is changing. Over the past twenty years native ladybugs that were once very common have become extremely rare. During this same time ladybugs from other parts of the world have greatly increased both their numbers and range. This is happening very quickly and we don't know how, or why, or what impact it will have on ladybug diversity or the role that ladybugs play in keeping plant-feeding insect populations low. We're asking you to join us in finding out where all the ladybugs have gone so we can try to prevent more native species from becoming so rare.

When trying to find the correct replacement remote you need, knowing the brand & model number of the system that's installed in your vehicle is generally needed, you can't just go by how the remote looks. But, if you don't know the model of system and you have an existing remote to your system, all you have to do is make sure that the FCC ID Numbers and/or Letters on the back of your existing remotes case matches the new replacement remotes FCC ID number and the amount of buttons on each remote matches. That's it, it will work. All replacement remote's are brand new from the factory and come with programming instructions.
Programming a Code Alarm or Chapman replacement remote to your system following the instructions included with every remote requires that you know where the systems "programming" or "emergency override button" is located, its also known as a "valet" button. This push-button is commonly found under the drivers side dash area, mounted on a bracket or sticking out thru a hole drilled thru a panel. Many newer model systems have this button built into the systems antenna thats mounted on the windshield behind the rear view mirror. As long as you know where this button is, you should be able to program the remote without any assistance, but we do have tech support help available if you need it (Click-on "emergency override button" above for a picture).
Additional Replacement Remote Brands: Ford - Chrysler - Dodge - Alert - Shelby - Marksman - Carbine - Silencer - Audiovox - Prestige - Pursuit - Universal Remote

A2 Dominion fails to address Stanmore rat infestation
Updated 8:46am Thursday 7th February 2013 in News By Emma Innes
A mother-of-two is "living in fear" because her housing association home is infested with rats.
Jane Hussain, 44, and her children, Jamil, 14, and Yasmin, 22, are being terrorised by the rodents which have taken over their house in Hitchin Lane, Stanmore.
The problem has been ongoing for six weeks and in that time Ms Hussain has seen a rat jump out of her son's school bag and one has run across her sleeping daughter's face.
When the problem first arose, Yasmin was convinced that the house was haunted as she saw a tinsel wig, which was on her bedroom floor, moving and she heard creaking and scratching noises in the house.
The real source of the problem became apparent when she saw a large grey rat in the bathroom heading for a hole behind the toilet.
Ms Hussain said: "I have not had any sleep. I don't know what to do any more. It is destroying me and it is shattering my nerves.
"We are living in fear of them now. I don't eat or drink anything in the house because it makes me feel sick.
"I am petrified and it is ruining our lives."
The problem has got so bad that Ms Hussain sold some of her belongings to pay for her family to stay in a hotel.
They went to the hotel on Thursday but yesterday the money ran out and they were forced to return home.
Despite the scale of the problem, they say the housing association, A2 Dominion, has failed to take any action.
Ms Hussain has paid for private contractors to come and address the problem but the family's attempts have been unsuccessful as the rats are running wild throughout the terraced street.
Ms Hussain said: "It is awful. I have begged for help from social services.
"It is putting our health at risk. It is absolutely awful."
The problem has become so severe that the family has been forced to replace many of their clothes and possessions for fear that they were contaminated with the rodents' urine.
The Harrow Times is awaiting a comment from A2 Dominion.

jackdaw says...
Will they be giving Ms Hussain compensation for the risk they have exposed her and her family to? Why are the Housing Association allowed to flaunt Health and Safety regulations? Why are the following people having the audacity to claim salaries for a service which they obviously do not provide. Perhaps Ms Hussain can go to live with any of the persons listed until her house is made fit for human habitation
The following is an extract from A2 Dominion's website.
We care about the services we provide and make every effort to maintain high standards. Sometimes, however, our services may not meet your expectations, and should this happen we want to know" LOL
I suggest the following people who are listed as spokespersons for Dominion be invited to stay in Ms Hussain's house for a week and enjoy the rat experience.
I have no doubt they will probably ask for their names to be removed as they will not want to be named and shamed.

Warning: Some of the video contains content that may be offensive to some audiences.
CARLSBAD (CBS 8) - While students, staff and faculty at Kelly Elementary try to cope in the aftermath of a shooting, many questions still remain about the suspect.
As he sits inside the Vista Detention Center on six attempted murder counts, Brendan Liam O'Rourke, 41, isn't exactly spilling his guts to Carlsbad police detectives regarding last Friday's shooting at Kelly Elementary School.
"He kind of rambles on a little bit, but then he'll say something coherent about where he worked at, where he lived at, that kind of stuff. So we're able to extract some information from him," Carlsbad Police Department Chief Gary Morrison said.
The Oceanside man wouldn't reveal the reason for his alleged actions, which wounded two young girls when he opened fire with a revolver registered in his name.
"He actually made a comment about looking at some other schools, but he ended up (at Kelly Elementary)," Chief Morrison said.
Chief Morrison says O'Rourke, who is a telemarketer with no felony criminal history, fumbled the weapon when he tried to reload, which made it easier for him to be taken down by witnesses.
"I think because of his lack of ability to manipulate the weapon appropriately… from my understanding, when he was reloading -- it was a revolver -- it was a little more awkward to reload on the fly, so to speak, as he's running," Chief Morrison said.
Vickie Rowe Mitchell lives just below O'Rourke's apartment. She says over the past six months he had become increasingly agitated, including stomping on the floor and yelling obscenities and racial epithets.
"I felt it in my soul that man was going to do something, I felt it," she said.
Inside O'Rourke's bedroom are the words "Christians" and "To destroy". Vickie says she knows what the message means.
"'Christians Unite to Destroy'… as soon as you said that I was like, oh my God, he used to say that too. I really feel like it could have been avoided. I feel like something could have been done more," Mitchell said.
Neighbors say O'Rourke was angry because he had just received an eviction notice with a December move-out date. Also, authorities say he recently applied for a security guard's job and was denied. Records show O'Rourke has a valid license to hold that type of job.

CAVE SPRING, Ga. (AP) - Council members in a northwest Georgia city have agreed to forgo saying the Lord's Prayer at their meetings, a reversal from a previous vote.
The Rome News-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/101I6f3) that council members had voted earlier to say the prayer at council meetings.
City Attorney Zach Burkhalter said the law restricts what prayers can be said at council meetings, though it doesn't prohibit all prayers from being spoken.
Burkhalter told council members they can have a prayer, but "it just has to be a more generic-type thing."
Council member Peggy Allgood suggested pastors at Cave Spring's six churches take turns saying the prayer at meetings - a proposal Mayor Rob Ware liked.
City Clerk Judy Dickinson said she would contact local ministers and arrange the prayer schedule.
