DEVELOPING- U.S. State Department briefing getting testy right now between U.S. spokeswoman and press...—
Nick Valencia (@CNNValencia) November 19, 2012
Remember when the members of the press held the State Department's feet to the fire and angrily demanded answers about American deaths overseas in Libya? No? The press outrage over the Fast and Furious deaths in Mexico? We don't either. Apparently it takes the deaths of Palestinians for the Associated Press to take off the gloves and punch until it gets the answers it wants.
In this corner, Matthew Lee of the Associated Press. Defending her title stonewalling for the State Department, spokesperson Victoria Nuland. On the table: Turkey's Prime Minister today accusing Israel of being a "terrorist state," and what exactly the United States intends to do about that.
Where is the president to defend a woman under attack and challenge the press to come after him instead, as he did for Amb. Susan Rice during his annual press conference? Oh yeah, Burma.

Nick Valencia (@CNNValencia) November 19, 2012
It's a "heated exchange," according to the CNN reporter. In its description of the YouTube video, the AP called it "a spirited exchange." Viewers on Twitter called it a pummeling, a liquidation and an evisceration. And most of them liked what they saw.

Review: Boardwalk Empire, Sky Atlantic
2:18pm Friday 30th December 2011 in Leisure By John Anson, Features editor
FORGET Downton, Doctor Who or the perennial gloomfest that is EastEnders — the highlight of the Christmas schedule had to be the series finale of Boardwalk Empire on Sky Atlantic on Christmas Eve.
The show backed by Martin Scorsese arrived in a blaze of publicity when Sky launched its import channel and although the first series about the prohibition era in Atlantic City was good, it didn't live up to the hype.
But series two has matured into a real cracker.
The extreme sex and violence which seemed to take up most of the first series has been toned down and the characters allowed to develop — always a good sign in a drama series.
As a result, when the violence has occurred — and it has been graphic — the effect has been both shocking and dramatic.
A classic case came in the finale as Mr Big, Nucky Thompson, resolved his dispute with Jimmy Darmody in brutal fashion.
If you're a devotee of the series, admit it: you didn't see that one coming, now did you?
Rather like The Sopranos (although it's not yet in that category), Boardwalk Empire has not been afraid of heading off in totally unexpected directions, even if that means 'removing' fairly central characters.
A combination of good writing, exellent performances and some wonderful camera work has made this a series to remember.
Bring on series three.

The sailfish is a gorgeous creature and one of the world's great game fish. But it's the wrong fish to represent Florida as its state fish.
That's the message just out from veteran fishing writer (and occasional Sport Fishing contributor) Byron Stout, of Fort Myers.
Say what? How could anyone object to the sailfish as the state fish?
To find out exactly how, read Stout's column online (Kids Should Protest State Game Fish). You can get gist of his argument there, and you can get his alternative proposal here: tarpon. (In fact, Stout references SF's December feature that rates the world's great game fish as justification.)
Is he right? Should tarpon be the official Florida state fish? Or sailfish? Or something else? (Hardhead catfish not eligible!) What's your 2-cents'? Click on the link below to chime in or at least read the forum thread on this one.

this is one overated band, does this album desearve 1 star? probably not, more like a 3, but the 1 star is for all you fans who thinks this is so great when it's clearly not.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
..And Justice For All, in my opinion, is Metallica's best album. Though horrbily produced, this album is one of the fews cd's on the market in which EVERY track is enjoyable. I listen to this album everyday and i am still not sick of it. My only complaint with this album is i can't hear any bass. The Drums also sound like Lars is playing over the telephone…Tracks:1. Blackened: GREAT song! very fast throughout the entire song…amazing riffs…awesome Lyrics similar to "Fight Fire With Fire" (Ride the Lighting). Great intro as well.2. …And Justice For All: Amazing song. Although VERY long, i still listen to the song entirely. The intro is awesome and the lyrics discuss the Amercian court system and its many cracks. A bit repetitive, but still Execellent3. Eye of the Beholder: Good song. The riffs are arranged very well and the drums are great. This is the song i listen to the least, but i still like it.4. One: How the hell can a Metallica fan not love this song? in a word or two: UNBEILEVELY GREAT! The most famous song on the album. Starts out slow but ends in machine gun- like guitar riffs.5. The Shortest Straw: VERY good song. Fast the entiire way. Awesome riffs and the solo is great. If produced better, this song would proabably be the best sounding track Metallica has ever recorded.6. Harvester of Sorrow: Great Song. Best intro of the cd. Lyrcisc are great and the guitars are amazing7. The Frayed Ends of Sanity: Probably the best title for a song I've heard. GREAT SONG. Amazing riffs. The Best solo Kirk has ever done. Great ending.8. To Live Is To Die: OK. This song alone proves how GREAT Metallica is. This is my all-time favortie Metallica song. a 10 minute tribute to former bassist Cliff Burton (R.I.P) who died in a buss accident. I listen to this song EVERYDAY. Its amazing beyond description. The band's sorrow is felt every second. My only complaint with this songs is that they never play it live. 9. Dyers Eve: Great closing track. Heavy the entire time. Great lyrcis and guitar riffs are lighting quick..Overall: I can't say it enough: THIS IS THE BEST METALLICA ALBUM EVER! I you are a fan of Master of Puppets and earlier, you will love this album. Fans of new work like Load and Re-load will be in for a suprise…but this is a amazing album…That's all that matters.
Epic. This is the line of demarcation… The toe in the dirt scrawling out the line bewteen fans of the old-school thrash Metallica and their more pop-conscious fans of the new. It's also my favorite Metallica CD, I find it to be their most consistently BADASS. Epic riffs, sprawling density; the songs are allowed to take up as much time and aural texture as is needed ("…And Justice For All" and "To Live Is To Die," both clock in at just under 10 minutes).
This one: Exceptionally well-paced, a tad thinly recorded, brutal sonic delivery. Killer legendary tracks. Thematically unified, this would be Metallica's most socially-driven release as most, if not all, of the tracks seem to deal (in some way) with ostracism, petty-tribal-hates, the plight of those passed-over, those forgotten, those stepped on or kicked out of the way… James's vitriol is unleashed in full! No sleepers, no skippers.
Something I don't see noted in here much: the drums! Lars really pounds the living soul out of himself on this one. There's more variety and interesting bass-drum fill work on this one than previous (and following) releases. It almost sounds like a different drummer at times. Early Metallica skin-work always comes off as a tad marginal… That's probably because I don't know anything about drums beyond digging double-bass-kicks. This one brings them aplenty.
…From the melodic building electric drone of the first track "Blackened," (which infectiously sets the tone for the what is to come), to the take-no-prisoners thrash mayhem of "Dyers Eve," a blistering and acerbic closer.
Some high points: The parts in "Eye Of The Beholder" When James starts howling "Independence, Liberty! FREEEEEDOM!" he comes off like a metal Braveheart, Plus it has one of all-time fave screechy "wong-wong–wong-WONG-WAAAAAHHH!!!!! blast-off" solos.
The chorus of "…And Justice…" is just killer. "Justice is rrraped, justice is DONE!" Recalling, "Master of Puppets" with its "pulling your strings, justice is done," line… Loss of Power/Control being an oft-recurrent major theme in the Metallica corpus.
I'm not gonna gush on and on about how slick the transistions are in "One," from the softer melodic poignance to all out thrash-insanity, seeing as how everybody knows the tune in question. But it does never seem to get old, at least to these ears.
The instrumental "To Live is to Die," is better than prior instrumental tracks (yes, there I said it- someone had to); the snakey blues-metal solo is sick, and then there's the dynamic shifting in the song…
Love the "Oh-EEE-OH," chorus opening off "Frayed Ends of Sanity," that could've sounded kitschy and dumb but the guys pull it off making it the only time anyone has referenced "The Wizard of Oz," in an ominous manner.
Nitpicking: As many other reviewers have noted- You can't hear the bass. As in: at all. It's just not there. These tunes are bassless accusations, mwah-hah-hah… Given how awful James, Lars and Kirk treated Jason for something like the first 4 years he was with them; maybe this is but one more sign of that… Still, as I think Jason is an interesting metal bassman (a rare breed) I wish there were more low-end theory on this classic… Maybe when it gets the remaster in however many years, they'll crank up the BOOM… Which remindeth me, O my brothers- completely off the topic at hand: AVOID AT ALL COSTS THE NEW MEGADETH REMASTERS; the vocals are unbelievably bad. I know, I listened. I suffered so that you don't have to: we all know Mustaine was never an able crooner to begin with (not that his chosen mode of expression demands that) but… wow. They're just plain awful, the new vox. You want to tell yourslef, "Hey it ain't that bad, but that tiny part of your soul that knows spit from spinola just keeps nudging you saying, "Dude… Umm… Dude… Just turn it off."
Back to Metallica: This one catches some flak from most fans I think, despite the fact that those who dig on this one dig the holy hell out of it.
Oh… This is perhaps the best weight-lifting CD ever. The tracks ably segue into each other so well… Great for maintaining consistent anger and power output for multiple sets of squats and deadlifts.
THE BAND: James Hetfield (lead vocals, guitar), Kirk Hammett (guitars), Lars Ulrich (drums & percussion), and new member Jason Newsted (bass) formerly of Flotsam And Jetsam (replacing Cliff Burton, R.I.P.).
THE DISC: (1988) 9 tracks clocking in at approximately 65 minutes. Included with the disc is a 10-page booklet containing song titles/credits, song lyrics, band pictures, one 'gavel' drawing containing band member faces, and thank you's. This is Metallica's 4th studio album. All songs written by Hetfield, Hammett, Ulrich and/or Newsted. Recorded at One On One Studios, Los Angeles, CA. This would be Flemming Rasmussen's last album produced with the band (Bob Rock would follow). The Japanese (import) version contains a bonus track – a Diamond Head cover, "The Prince". Label – Elektra.
COMMENTS: "…And Justice For All" was the last classic Metallica album of the 80's. It was also their final attempt at thrash metal (once the 90's rolled around and producer Bob Rock entered the picture, the band took a more "mainstream" metal approach). The majority of songs are long with complex riffs… borderline progressive. Let me first say that for years, this disc sat on my shelf. I thought it was over-produced; I didn't like Ulrich's snare drum (sounded cheap and tinny) or his double bass (sounded shallow and metallic – partly due to a coin taped to the drum skin where the foot pedal hit); Newsted's bass was nonexistent (the standard explanation for this combines Newsted's absence from the mixing sessions where he could have voiced his opinion, and the lingering issue of his "newness" within the band following the death of Burton); there were three songs that I just could not get into ("Eye Of The Beholder", "The Shortest Straw" and lightning fast "Dyers Eve"); and the articles I read about the 3 original band members hazing and not accepting newcomer Newsted was infuriating… call if fun, call it pranks, call it cruel – Newsted simply did not deserve this kind of treatment. Newsted (or anyone else who took the job) had two choices – put up with the crap or leave. From the outside looking in, Burton's loss was tragic, but the way Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett handled the situation afterwards seemed uncalled for. As far as "…And Justice For All" is concerned though, it's taken a decade to grow on me and finally realize there are some brilliant songs here. In my opinion, "One" is one of Metallica's finest songs in their entire catalog. "One" has an awesome slow beginning, tells a great story of an injured soldier, and ends in fine metal thrash form (not to mention one of the more memorable MTV videos)… all in all featuring great guitar work (intro, rhythm and solos). "Blackened" is an underrated gem of an opener. "To Live Is To Die" is the other masterpiece (almost 10 minutes long) – riffs and spoken words written by Cliff Burton (his last written testament) – this song has great riffs and 7 minutes of jamming before any vocals… reminiscent of something taken right off "Master Of Puppets". The title track also resembles something from "Puppets". "…And Justice For All" chart success – hitting #6 on Billboard's "Top 200 Albums" from 1988, as well as the song "One" hitting #35 on Billboard's Hot 100. There's good and bad here… this album is still considered a classic and essential. If not only for the songs "One", "Blackened" and "To Live Is To Die" (4 stars).
This is without a doubt (in my opinion) not only the best Metallica album in existence, but It is the best metal album in existence.BLACKENED- Like previous first Metallica tracks, it slowly builds into absolute mayhem as James screams anti-war lyrics. Lars stays busy, and really shines on this song. This is my favorite Metallica song of all time.AND JUSTICE FOR ALL- This is by far one of the most sophisticated, intricate, and complex metal songs ever. Clocking in at over nine minutes, this song takes you on the ride of your life, and when its finally over, you are left, shocked at what you just heard. You cannot count the changes in pace/tone on one hand in this song. This is definately a song that Kirk shines on.EYE OF THE BEHOLDER- Another awesome song with some great lyrics. "You can do it your own way, as long as its done just how i say." ONE- The first Metallica song with a video made for it. Also one of their best songs of all time. Goes from semi-ballad like to all out headbanging thrash metal. In the last few minutes you cannot help but headbang.SHORTEST STRAW- Great overall song with some awesome riffs and drum kicks. The chorus fits perfectly into the tone/atmosphere that the song creates.HARVESTER OF SORROW- Slower, more violent song about how people who are abused as children sometimes bring that abuse to the generation following theres. One of my favorite songs on the album.FRAYED ENDS OF SANITY- Great headbanging song, you will headbang, just because the rhythm of the song begs you to. Great all around song with awesome riffs and great vocals.TO LIVE IS TO DIE- This song is an ode to Metallica's late bassist Cliff Burton. Though its an instrumental, its incredibly heavy and works into a heavy ballad style song.DYERS EVE- This song and BLACKENED are the fastest songs on the album. Lars shows what he's made of in this song, and you can't help but give him props for being able to play drums as fast as he does on this song. The song is about parents to dictate to their children, and do not offer encouragement.IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS ALBUM, BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!

This game marks the end of a consecutive 310 premier league games that Brad Friedel started in goal. An absolutely amazing feat.
First, I would like to say the reason I like the move. With Caulker's energy and tenacity, Gallas' leadership, Vertonghen being Vertonghen, and now Lloris in goal, I can't help but feel like this string of letting one in late, the equalizer or trash goal, is over. Finally, it is amazing how frustrating it is, even when we win, but when we can't for the life of us keep a clean sheet. Hugo Lloris, the french captain, is a top 5 goalkeeper in the world, he's 25 and I don't think there is much doubt out there that in five or six years he will be, at least arguably, the best goalkeeper in the world. So I have no problem with the move, great move.
However, I would like to put my appreciation for Brad Friedel out there. His nearly 8 year string comes to a close and he is sitting on the bench smiling and laughing. He was not only the face of US football abroad for a decade, but also a prominent figure even after he retired from international games, he is the face of class and professionalism. A man who by all means is still a world class goal keeper at 41, he has more heart and class then I could ever dream of. So I raise a glass to Brad Friedel.

For most of the world, the memory of the slaughter of the Jews, pursued with such disciplined ferocity to the bitter end, demands respect. It gets it, not just in the thousands of records of the event, but in art, too. Primo Levi, the Milanese Jew who survived Auschwitz itself, wrote memoirs (If This Is a Man; The Truce) and novels (The Wrench; If Not Now, When?) that have the power of understated horror and serve as a kind of standard for all others. Films – Roman Polanski's The Pianist (2002) and Stephen Daldry's The Reader (2008) – two of the better known of the past decade – are somber, tragic affairs, the subject matter with which they work precluding anything approaching a happy ending.
There are exceptions, and, oddly, they are very funny ones. The earliest is the Ernst Lubitsch comedy To Be or Not to Be, released in 1942 and starring Jack Benny as a Polish actor who, through a series of comic turns, plays an SS Officer, Colonel Erhardt, in an ultimately successful escape bid. At one point, the real Erhardt, speaking of the concentration camps, snaps – "we do the concentrating, the Poles do the camping" – a line that still gives a start, though written and spoken when what the camping meant was still genuinely unknown by most. There are more, of course: Mel Brooks's The Producers and Roberto Benigni's 1997 La Vita e Bella, most memorably. Neither was uncontroversial, but what controversy there was has largely died, and they're mostly seen as classics.
Now the Holocaust has a new creative frontier. In a ceremony that seemed as if it were made for another Mel Brooks movie, Hava Hershkovits won the Miss Holocaust Survivor contest in Haifa, Israel, last Friday. The organizer, Shimon Sabag, director of Yad Ezer l'Haver (Helping Hand), an institution that aids poor Holocaust survivors, said that the contestants "feel good together. They are having a good time and laughing at the rehearsals." In the published pictures, Hershkovits, at 78, looks radiant and is wearing the victor's tiara.
The coverage, however, was – though cautious – on the negative side. The Huffington Post put it under the rubric of "Weird Tales," together with a taxidermist who dressed his products up in outlandish costumes. Reports mentioned controversy in the introduction or the second paragraph, and quoted Colette Avital, the chairwoman of an umbrella group for Holocaust survivors, as saying that: "It sounds totally macabre to me … I am in favour of enriching lives, but a one-time pageant masquerading [survivors] with beautiful clothes is not what is going to make their lives more meaningful."
Avital knows more about Holocaust survivors than I do, but I'd like to ask her how she knows that. Most people get a kick out of appearing elegant, and even if, in their seventies, there are some sighs over time passing, I can't see why Holocaust survivors should be different, or shouldn't enjoy attention, or shouldn't want to win (they decided to enter the competition, after all). Does a night of enjoyment make one's life more meaningful? Who knows, except the person doing it? Why shouldn't it?

Mobile Monitor Loudspeaker Systems
Now you don't have to compromise your home audio standards when listening to music in your car. Polk Audio's engineers have brought the same amazing quality, technology, and innovation of the Grand Prix Award winning Polk home speakers to your automobile. Not surprisingly, two of the Polk Mobile Monitor designs (the MM10A and MM6900) have already won Autosound Grand Prix Speaker of the Year awards.
Polk Mobile Monitor automotive systems sound extraordinary. They are silky smooth and perfectly balanced, with a deep, accurate bass performance that leaves the "boom, crash, tinkle" of typical car speakers in the dust. Even at the loud volume levels so often required on the road, Polk Mobile Monitors are non fatiguing and easy to listen to. Borrowing the same trilaminate polumer cone and dome tweeter technologies developed for the highly acclaimed Polk home Monitor Series, the Mobile Monitors provide unequaled clarity and the awesome power required to effortlessly resolve every musical detail even over road noise.
Spectacular SDA Imaging Hits the Road!:
Now you can experience the accuracy and excitement of live-sound imaging in your car by installing a Polk SDA Mobile Monitor system. An SDA crossover matrix used in conjunction with 2 pairs of Mobile Monitor speakers (front and rear) literally expands the boundaries of the automotive listening environment.
The SDA Mobile Monitor system solves the acoustic shortcomings of automotive interiors and car stereos. First, by cancelling interaural crosstalk distortion, the SDA system frees you from the feeling that you are listening inside a small box. The sound is open, spacious, and three dimensional, as if you were listening in a concert hall. Second, the sound stage is maintained in front of you as it would be in real life, rather than from behind as with conventional autosound systems. Third, excellent bass response is sustained by means of Polk;s exclusive Sub-Bass Drive circuit. Of the Polk SDA Mobile system, Car Stereo Review said, "Polk has triumphed...It's like jumping into hyperspace."
A Mobile Monitor System for Every Car:
Given the wide variety of vehicles on the road, and the myriad of placement options, Polk Mobile Monitors come in many configurations to suit practically any installation. Your Polk dealer can help you choose the system that's right for your car. Go ahead, push the envelope. Doesn't your car deserve the best?

We were three months into a whole-house makeover, installing new windows, doors, exterior trim, roofing, and siding, when the homeowner, a tall man, asked if there was any way we could improve on the low, 7-foot-6-inch ceiling height throughout the house. My first reaction: No way. But the more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. We were already installing all-new interior window and exterior door trim, which meant that all the rooms required header adjustments, plaster patching and painting, and so on. The kitchen and baths also were being updated, with new cabinets, fixtures, and finishes. All the carpeting was going to be replaced and the wood floors sanded and refinished. Most of the work involved was already factored into the budget.
It occurred to me that if ever a house was a candidate for increased ceiling height, it was this one, a two-story, 3,800-square-foot garrison colonial. Cutting and extending the hvac ducts seemed simple enough, as did the plumbing — just cut the pipes and solder on extensions. The real issue would be with the wiring, which I knew in many cases crossed over the ceiling between walls above and below. With no code-approved method of splicing wires available, it was obvious that the entire house would have to be rewired.
I sought advice from several building movers on lifting the structure, then developed a revised plan and cost for the project that my client accepted. He and his wife had already intended to move out at some point in the original process, but this new plan meant the move would have to happen as soon as possible. We leased two large steel storage containers and placed them on the property to temporarily house the furniture and salvaged fixtures, and within three weeks began to prep the house for the first stage of the vertical stretch — lifting the main roof.
Raising the ceiling joists and rafters above the second floor of the main part of the house would be simpler than other parts of the process and therefore seemed like a good place to start. There was less weight to consider, assuming a standard dead load of 15 pounds per square foot, and not so great a change in elevation — 9 1/2 inches vs. the 15-inch increase we'd determined for the first-floor ceilings. I chose this specific height increase for two reasons: It was proportionate to the smaller upstairs bedrooms, and it could be accomplished simply, by inserting a 3 1/2-by-9 1/2-inch engineered beam along the entire top plate of the house. Not only would that give us a uniform height, but the LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beam would also help to straighten the tops of the walls, which weren't all that straight to start.
We began by removing a 12-inch-high strip of plaster at the top of all the second-floor walls. We then drove a flat bar between the two 2x4 top plates and cut the nails with a recip saw. This left the ceiling joists, rafters, and top-plate assembly intact, saving time and maintaining structural integrity.
Other prep work included cutting back the framing around the existing large central chimney, which served three fireplaces below. We removed the lead flashing and the original headers, which were embedded in mortar, framed tight to the bricks in the days before codes required chimney clearances. We reframed a new code-compliant opening for the chimney, allowing a minimum 2-inch clearance between the masonry and the headed-off rafters. We planned to lift the roof from underneath the ceiling joists, working from inside the second floor. The 2x8 joists were solidly hand-nailed to the rafters and toenailed to the top plate. They were also strapped with 1x3s on 16-inch centers, a typical framing detail in our region, and still covered with plaster board, making rollovers during lifting highly unlikely. To make sure they'd lift intact with the roof, we reinforced the gable-end walls with diagonal cross-bracing down from the ridge to the wall plates. We set up three rows of 4x10 Douglas fir lifting beams under the ceiling joists — at the front of the house, at midspan parallel to the bearing wall, and at the rear. That way, the roof and joists would remain supported during lifting, similar to the way they were supported in the original structure.
A major concern was making sure that the roof would stay square, plumb, and aligned over the top plates during lifting. If it was not carefully restrained, we could have trouble placing the raised section back where it belonged. We solved the problem by through-bolting 2x4s vertically to the tops of the exterior walls around the entire perimeter of the house. We notched the overhanging roof sheathing directly above to provide slots for the 2x4s, so that they'd trap the roof above the walls and keep it from twisting in the wind or wracking out of alignment during the jacking.
To maintain the original alignment and prevent the roof structure from shifting during lifting, the author's crew bolted 2x4 vertical struts to the tops of the walls around the house's perimeter.
The second-floor footprint measured only about 45 by 28 feet, so we were able to handle this part of the work using my own crew, which, including me, numbered seven guys. We had two dozen 20-ton screw jacks on hand for the lift. I bought most of the jacks for this job, thinking they'd be a lot safer than bottle-type hydraulic jacks that could leak fluid and fail in the middle of the lift. I got them for about $129 each from Toolhauz in Needham, Mass., a great independent tool store. The jacks provided a maximum lift of 10 inches, just right for this stage.
The lifting beams consisted of three 16-foot 4x10s each, overlapped at the ends and supported on approximately 7-foot centers by the jacks. This spacing was close to the standard for column spacing under a main floor girt, which is typically calculated for a 40-psf dead load. We'd be lifting less than half that weight.
One of the early issues we had to decide was how to safely extend the reach of the screw jacks to the ceiling joists. My first thought was to place the jacks on the floor and use fir 4x4s or two 2x4s nailed together to prop under the 4x10 lift beams. But that presented a serious problem of stability — it would be easy for a post to kick out suddenly under a load, posing an unacceptable risk. We decided instead to build a quantity of structural pyramidal jack stands whose height could be supplemented as needed by stacking 4x4 cribbing under them. Some stands could serve as dead men, while others served as jack stations.
Site-built pyramidal jacking stands safely extended the screw jacks' reach to just below the lifting beams
Pyramid stands. We made the stands by cutting 5-foot-long 2x8s at the requisite angle to taper from a 2-foot-square base at the bottom to a 1-foot-square top platform. We wrapped the sides, top, and bottom with 5/8-inch plywood and screwed it with 1 5/8-inch galvanized deck screws. As a final precaution, we wrapped a band of perforated, galvanized-steel strapping around the base about 8 inches up from the bottom and screwed through it into the studs with 2 1/2-inch galvanized deck screws. In the unlikely event one or more studs failed under load, we figured the band would help keep the base from spreading.
To carry the lifting loads through to the basement floor, we built temporary stud walls on the first floor and in the basement below each jack stand, perpendicular to the floor joists.
Don't blow it. When lifting something as big as a house, you want to keep the wind in mind — the potential for the building to act like a sail could introduce big problems. In researching the job, I spoke with several professional home movers, all of whom emphasized the importance of avoiding wind on jacking day. Because it was midsummer, we didn't have to wait long for a windless day. In breezy fall or spring weather, the wait factor could have become a more serious scheduling consideration.
With the LVL beams cut and ready for placement, we proceeded with the lift. The screw jacks allowed us to raise the roof in small, controlled increments. We started with three rotations of each screw — about 5/16 inch — across the front, then performed the same step at the middle and at the back. We repeated this sequence until we were able to set the beams on the lower top plate.
Working in small increments, the seven-man crew slowly raised the roof structure by 9 1/2 inches, allowing the nominal 4x10 engineered LVL plates to be inserted into position on top of the wall.
Toenailing to the top and bottom of the beam provided a quick and accurate means of aligning the plates, leaving them straighter than they had been originally.
To consolidate the new and the existing framing, we cut back the plywood exterior sheathing about 15 inches down from its top edge and inlaid new, 2-foot-wide sheathing with glue and nails, tying together the existing studs, lower top plate, and LVLs. On the inside, we used 66T T-strap galvanized connecting plates (Simpson Strong-Tie, 800/999-5099, www.strongtie.com) to tie the bottom of the beams to the tops of the walls, which would help prevent the beam from rolling under lateral wind loading or during a seismic event. The connecting plates caught the LVL beam along its bottom edge on 16-inch centers and were nailed into both the wall plate and the studs.
T-straps tie the LVL beam to the original plate at 16-inch intervals, helping to prevent the beam from rolling outward under lateral loads.

Ground zero and the mosque — does the court of law have it right?
by Restore Fairness, Thu Aug 05, 2010 at 05:39:26 PM EDT
From Restore Fairness blog. Welcoming a new mosque near the site of 9/11 attacks is seen by those opposed to it as a symbol of terrorist victory and a weak U.S. On the other hand, supporters see the openness and tolerance of this act as a powerful bridge to interfaith interaction and peace. But, plain and simply, to the court of law religious tolerance isn't up for debate.

New York Times Adds Audience Development Position to Its Masthead
The New York Times appoints and audience development head as the post-Jill Abramson era takes shape.
The New York Times (NYT) is an American daily newspaper founded and continuously published in New York City since 1851. The New York Times has won 108 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other news organization. Its website is the most popular American newspaper website, receiving more than 30 million unique visitors per month.
Although the print version of the paper remains the largest local metropolitan newspaper in the United States, it is the third largest newspaper overall, behind The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, and its weekday circulation has fallen since 1990 (as have other newspapers) to fewer than one million copies daily. Nicknamed "the Old Gray Lady", and long regarded within the industry as a national "newspaper of record", The New York Times is owned by The New York Times Company, which also publishes 18 other newspapers including the International Herald Tribune and The Boston Globe. The company's chairman is Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., whose family has controlled the...
The New York Times appoints and audience development head as the post-Jill Abramson era takes shape.
Leafly, an app that enables users to find, rate and review medical-marijuana dispensaries in their area, ran a full-page ad in 'The New York Times' on Sunday -- the first cannabis company to do so -- after the newspaper recently came out in support of legalizing marijuana.
There could soon be a lot less news that fits to print.
The New York Times is adding digital subscribers, but not enough to offset losses.
America's paper of record believes that it's time the United States legalized marijuana.
A column from Timothy Egan of the New York Times has triggered a war of words with Walmart, one of the companies he singled out.
The International New York Times' printing partner in Pakistan took a chunk out of the paper's front page on Monday.
The New York Times has launched a subscription app featuring the paper's opinion coverage as well as a curated feed of broader commentary.
A sign outside the New York Times' main office in New York City has a point to make: the paper's treatment of Jill Abramson is an unfair as its coverage of Israel.
The New York Times has lost one of its most senior digital journalists to the Guardian, continuing a week of news involving top editors at the two papers.
Former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson will deliver Wake Forest University's commencement address on Monday morning, her first public remarks since she was abruptly fired last Wednesday.
The still unfolding story of Jill Abramson's dismissal from her post as Executive Editor at the New York Times took another turn on Sunday when one of the paper's reporters, Ravi Somaiya, dished out a series of tweets that refute the narrative that her firing was over pay issues related to sexism.
Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. said that although Jill Abramson was "an outstanding journalist and editor," her poor management skills were the ultimate reason for her removal, not issues related to her gender or compensation.
An internal report on digital innovation at the New York Times, obtained in full by Mashable, highlights the paper's struggle to embrace online publishing.
Data compiled by the Pew Research Center shows that the reported pay discrepancy faced by Jill Abramson is a widespread problem in the media.
The Times is not a-changin' fast enough. Back in July, The New York Times commissioned a task force to assess the publication's digital efforts to date and recommend ways it can better keep up with the shifting digital landscape. A portion of the report was was released earlier this month, but on Thursday BuzzFeed obtained a copy of a 96-page version of the report report.
Former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson has a "badass new hobby." That's according to her daughter, Cornelia Griggs, who posted a photo to Instagram on Thursday that shows the ousted editor wearing boxing gloves and posing for the picture.
Jill Abramson, executive editor at the New York Times, has been pushed out of the top editorial role at the paper.
The New York Times Co. finally has some good news to report. The media company reported earnings per share of $0.07 on revenue of $390 million for the March quarter, coming in ahead of Wall Street estimates for earnings of $0.03 a share and revenue of around $385 million. See also: Despite Paywalls, Newspapers Still Bled Red Ink in 2013 Total revenue, up 2.6% year-over-year, was helped by a surprise uptick in advertising sales.
A collection of must-read stories remembering the victims, investigating the perpetrators and spotlighting the survivors.
As someone old enough to remember life before the web, I still associate The New York Times with a big honking broadsheet, something you hunker down with for a few hours on a Sunday. Compared to easy reads like Newsday or The New York Post, The Times was daunting. During the few times I subscribed to daily delivery, I would feel a creeping sense of guilt as the old copies amassed in my recycling bin, mostly unread.
When Nate Silver took his talents to ESPN last July, The New York Times—Silver's former employer—convened a committee to plot its next move. It concluded the Times shouldn't replicate Silver's blog, FiveThirtyEight, but that it needed something in the same ballpark — journalism that examines current events but doesn't attempt to break news. The Times tapped David Leonhardt, one of the committee members, to lead a new, explanatory website: The Upshot.
Pakistani readers were not able to see the International New York Times' front-page story, as it was censored by the newspaper's local printing partner. Entitled "What Pakistan Knew About Bin Laden," the Saturday cover story by Carlotta Gall was completely blanked out in a conspicuous censorship effort. See also: U.S.
The paper of record will soon launch a new app that puts the paper second. At an event on Saturday at SXSW, the New York Times gave Mashable a look at its soon-to-be released subscription mobile app that will cost $8 per month. NYT Now will provide readers with a curated feed of stories with specially crafted blurbs of key points, allowing readers to scroll down without tapping to get an idea of the most important news of the moment.
Sad news day for that dude who sent me the hilarious "ur hot y feminazi?" message last month, and, indeed, for all people who spend a stupid amount of time online harassing innocent bloggers and telling them to die in fiery rape pits for no apparent reason! According to science, you are a sadistic, Machiavellian psychopath. And I am awesome*.

Everyone has their fantasy-football sleepers. You have yours, I have mine. Your sleepers might be my players to avoid at all costs and vice versa.
Hey, it's fantasy football. Opinions vary. And time of the essence after a lockout-marred offseason. So I'll keep this brief. If you're considering a late-round backup quarterback, here are five reasons why the Browns' Colt McCoy might be worth your while:
1. The Browns have changed offensive schemes. In Brian Daboll's offense, the Browns worked the middle of the field and didn't get the ball to the wideouts as much as team president Mike Holmgren would have liked. With new head coach Pat Shurmur installing Holmgren's preferred West Coast scheme, it wouldn't be a surprise if Cleveland's passing game perked up.
2. He flashed potential as a rookie. McCoy threw for a season-best 281 yards in an impressive debut at Pittsburgh in October and completed 19-of-25 passes for 243 yards with two TDs and no interceptions at Cincinnati in December. He also played well in the upset of the Patriots and the down-to-the-wire loss vs. the Jets. Draw a line through poor performances against Baltimore and Pittsburgh to end the season, when he threw no TDs and six interceptions, and his rookie campaign looks even better.
3. The Browns' schedule is favorable. Cleveland plays two 2011 playoff teams in its first 11 games — and one of those clubs was Seattle, which had a 7-9 record. Note that in Weeks 4-11, the Browns play five teams that finished 24th or worse in passing yards allowed last season. Even their Week Six game at Oakland, which was second vs. the pass a season ago, doesn't look as imposing when you consider CB Nnamdi Asomugha didn't re-sign with the Raiders. Finally, although the Browns have the tough task of facing Baltimore and Pittsburgh twice each in division play, neither the Steelers nor the Ravens are stellar vs. the pass. Throwing on both defenses is preferable to running on them.
4. He has done all the right things in the offseason. McCoy has taken leadership of the offense, organizing workouts in Austin, Texas and Berea, Ohio. This is how you want your young starting quarterback to act. If nothing else, McCoy is setting the right example.
5. You will be able to draft him for a song. Unless you're in a league laden with Browns backers, you don't have to worry about taking McCoy early in your draft. In fact, there's a chance he could be available in the final rounds in 10- or 12-team formats. McCoy figures to be a low-risk pick. Should the Browns' offense falter once again, you can quickly and painlessly cut your losses.

It is easy to take advantage of this offer...here's how:

Hello ,
why don't you offer it also for European people ??
Sorry, I just noticed your message. Pearson VUE is used much differently in North America than the rest of the world. I am the certification rollout manager in the US and Canada so my promotions only work in those countries.
Hi Kenneth
Do we have this promotion on Aug and Sepmber of 2011..?
Hello kenneth,
Is it necessary to register and take the exam before Dec 31, 2010 to avail the 50% Discount? or Can I register now (Before Dec 31, 2010) and take the exam sometime early 2011.
Please advise. Thanks for your time.
The promotion codes are only valid until 12/31/2010 so the exams must be finished by then.
Hi Kenneth,
I am wondering if a 50% discount for certification exams at Pearson VUE will be available in 2011 ?
Decisions have not been made yet regarding certification promotions for 2011. Send me a message to the address listed in my personal profile and I will tell you how to watch for announcements.
Hi Kenneth Schieffer,
I would like to get the updates from Pearsonvue about the discounts.

I have trouble checking most social networking sites regularly from China,
was wondering if there is an discount that is going to be offered this year?
Lance - Decisions have not been made yet. The easiest thing to do is contact me directly using the information found in my personal profile.
Ok, I will do that, makes it much easier for me, thanks Kenneth.
Hi Kenneth,
I am in US (NJ), and I would like to find out if there are any new/latest/current SAP Certification Exam Promo codes (like the one you had in 2010/2011), but now for 2013 (starting anytime in Aug.2013 onwards).

Sorry, there are no promotion discounts available.
Are there any plans to introduce coupons near future .. ??
Hello Madhu
None that I am aware of other than the discount promotion being offered at TechEd 2012.
I've already signed up for TechEd 2012 in Las Vegas... but I can't seem to find anything on the TechEd website about a certification discount. (I'm thinking about taking a HANA certification while in Vegas.)
Is it there on the website, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Hi Lars,
Could you please contact me at email@example.com and I will be able to assist you in this.
Regards, Richard Strattner SAP Marketing
I'm trying to take the exam in July 2013, is there any discount codes still available? It seems I found this site a little too late, if it expired June 2013.
Hi Stephen,
The discount code is not currently viable.
However, a discount is being provided to individuals who register for Tech Ed 2013 event occurring this fall. Information is made available during the online registration process.
Richard Strattner
Thank you for the response Richard. The conference in October is too late for me, since I plan to tackle the test later this month or early August.
Try the Promo code: 13CERTED (only for US & Canada) to get 50% Concession for exams taken through Pearson Vue.
It worked for me.
Good Luck
Venkat R Annam
It says, "This discount is no longer available because it has a use limit, and the use limit has been met."
Darn it!
Hi Kenneth,
I would like to find out if there are any new Certification Exam Promo codes available. I tried
Promo code: 13CERTED it didn't work. Please share if any new codes available.
Kiran Nekkanti
Hi Kenneth,
There are several user who tried the promotion code you gave us but its not working.
Could you please, provide us a valid code if possible.

The Punta Gorda Block Party went on despite the rain on Saturday. The day-long charitable event was expected to attract about 40,000 people.
Some attendees found the clouds and cooler temperatures to be the perfect backdrop to make the event a success.
"Well it's kind of ideal right now, not a lot of sun, so not as hot," said Earl McCaskill.
The party is prime business time for vendors who say they may benefit from the weather.
"As a food vendor, it's better for us that it's not so hot because when it's hot, people actually don't eat as much," says vendor Michael Dellacamera.
The event raises money for local charities. But if they don't make enough money in sales to pay the $100,000 it costs to host the event, organizers might not be able to do it next year.
"We need money. We need the communty's support on this. That's why we started charging $5 this year for mandatory admission," says event organizer Brenda Ryan.

Enough of the critisism of this DVD. In a word it is exemplary. My favorite track is the "The Last Sucker". The DVD gave me the chance to catch up on an era of Ministry that I missed when it actually was happening. I like their new fresh material to the utmost. I like the new line-up – the new lead guitarist is cool. The encore has 4 older tracks – So What – New World Order – Just One Fix – Thieves. The production is excellent, sound great, great editing. Great live show w/rear screen projector and light show. My two disc set came with a Message from Uncle Al – claiming that my edition was one of the first 4000 and qualified as a collector's item because of a mistake in the printing somewhere on the discs. Can't find the error – only your's truly could have sprung from the mind of Al Jourgensen. Would like to interview Al for a reissue 20th Anniversary of Biomutant Magazine. Interviews w/Front Line Assembly, Front 242, A Split Second, Nitzer Ebb concert photos from late 80s.
Ministry Biography - Ministry Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
- (Hed) Pe pride themselves in their station as a rap-metal hybrid who aren t just about a predictable guitar assault with a few tossed in rhymes. The California band truly exists as both hip-hop innovators and metal provocateurs (mixing in a few other styles to boot). It s a mixture best appreciated in the live setting, and the 2008 record (as paired with a DVD) brings you as close to the experienc
Ministry will release a live CD and DVD, both entitled "Adios" recorded during their Final World Tour 2008! The CD/DVD features live-recordings and performances from Serbia, Warsaw, Los Angeles, Chicago, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovenia. The CD will be released in late March, while the DVD won't be out until May as it will contain a LOT of bonus-material, on which MINISTRY are still putting the final touches. Progenies of thumping, seminal industrial metal whose legacy can still be heard ringing loudly in everything from Rammstein to Red Harvest. It's hard to believe that this is their swansong, their last album release, and indeed Ministry go out in style tonight with this album! When Ministry pulls out the big guns it is tantamount to a revelation. The world needs bands like Ministry to be a razor sharp thorn in the side of conservatism, and one of the few bands who truly exuded the kind of punk ethic that's bandied about by so many but actually lived by so few! Good bye Ministry!

Utter crap. Which is not surprising, since the final tour was pretty much crap too.
The tracklisting focuses only on the last 3 (substandard) albums, which makes listening to this album about as enjoyable as shoving a powerdrill into your head. Mind you, the tour was similar, featuring only 3-4 other/older tracks which seems to have been relegated to the DVD-set.
I'll admit, the sound production on this disc is fantastic, but then it should be – the vocals on this last tour were all pre-records. Not much room for error when Al is pulling a Britney on us (last) suckers.
I'am just a bit disappointed about this CD. I think I was expecting a bit more from this CD. I do agree that there are alot of good songs that are missing from it. I feel that this CD should've been released as a double disc.
Okay first the good. The show sounds great. The best live Ministry cd release as far as production is concerned. Now the not so good. If you happened to catch Ministry live during the c-u-latour you will remember that all songs performed during the regular set was from the George Bush trilogy which dissapointed many fans (including me I saw them in Orlando.) I thought before the tour kicked off Uncle Al stated on his website that Ministry would be performing songs of all of Ministry's different incarnations throughout the years possibly performing stuff from Twitch even. I dont know what happened. Basically if you dig the bush trilogy you will love this album. And I will say Houses of the Mole and Rio Grande Blood are good albums, as far as the setlist is concerned it is what it is.
I have been a diehard Ministry/Al Jourgensen fan since Everyday is Halloween. I have stuck by Old Uncle Al in the good times like Land of Rape & Honey, Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, Psalm 69, Rio Grande Blood and I have stuck by in the bad times like Dark Side of the Spoon and The Last Sucker. This is their third official live album and supposedly the last Ministry album to be released. (They will be releasing a 2 disc DVD from this tour in May of 2009) This album was recorded in 2008 during their CU-LaTour. It does a pretty good job of capturing the Ministry Live feeling. The Line up on the tour & this album is awesome. Uncle Al, Tommy Victor from Prong, Sin from Revco, Tony Campos from Static-X and Burton Bell from Fear Factory. All in all it's a pretty good album that shows their raw power live in almost every track. But it does have some downsides.
First off, it only features songs from the last 3 regular albums: House of the Mole – Rio Grande Blood and The Last Sucker or The Anti George W. Bush trilogy. There are no "Classic" tracks on here. That's a bummer because they played some great older songs on this CU-LaTour. (I saw them in Denver in April of 2008). The selection of songs on here is the biggest drawback.
It opens with "Let's Go" and it just rocks. It is just powerful like having your teeth kicked in by a wall of Guitars. But then the next 4 tracks are all boring ones from the Last Sucker. I didn't like that album all that much and I don't like the live version of these 4 songs either.
Track 6 is where it gets back to kicking a55. "No W" sounds awesome and wicked fast. "Waiting" is spot on and the vocals sound so evil. "Worthless" drags a little bit but again the vocals sound awesome. "Wrong" is Track 9 and it is OK but slows up the fast feel that was going with tracks 6-8.
They get it back though with "Rio Grande Blood". It sounds good, the Bush samples sound frickin' great and the guitars sound tight. "Senor Peligro" sounds balls to the wall awesome, fast, heavy and gritty.
"LiesLiesLies" is up next and it is my favorite track on here. It's so powerful and musically perfect. It is hard to believe that it is a live song. The extended ending makes for a nice little treat.
The last track is "Khyber Pass". An OK album track but the live version is just boring and it drags out for 8:46. It gets olds too fast.
Not a perfect record, but still a pretty kick a55 album. Certainly worth the purchase. Or at least download the good tracks. For a Live album, the quality is incredible.
I think this really is the "Last" Ministry album. I felt The Last Sucker was a letdown and Cover Up was OK. I just hope that Uncle Al doesn't release another greatest hits/fits or some B-Side album or something like that. Having been a Ministry fan for over 20 years now, I can say (even though it pains me to admit this) that Ministry has run its course. Let it end here, go out on top and don't drag it out. Adios Ministry, we'll miss you but we will continue to enjoy every album you've made.
One more thing, Old Uncle Al is still keeping busy. A new Revco album just came out, the Live Adios DVD should be out in May and rumor has it that a New LARD album will also be out in May of this year. Hells Yeah Al, what other new projects do you have up your sleeve?
