The water line for my bathroom shower is leaking and the line is located behind tile which is on a plaster wall. I've removed some tiles, and was able to get a sample of the plaster for asbestos testing (there is none), but the plaster is rock solid... and that's where I'm stuck. Can someone offer advice on the best way to get access to the pipes?. The house was built in 1958.

|Sawzall. With the master water valve turned off. A leaking pipe is a major rip out. No need to be delicate. The whole thing will likely need to be redone and you'll be lucky if it doesn't extend into other rooms of the home. The lathe will most likely be rotten, as well as some of the studs and sill.
|Either a sawzall or just a keyhole saw.
With a sawzall you can start a hole without drilling, with a keyhole saw you drill a hole and then start from there.
Sawzalls can be rented, but count on buying your own blades.
Plaster and nail cutting wood blades are normally used for opening plaster walls.
The blades at the rental place are likely to be limited and overpriced.
Even the big box stores have blades though.

|Heck, a hammer will get rid of the plaster and let you in to the wall. The damage is likely to be pretty extensive. Yes, you will need to redo the whole shower. Plaster isn't waterproof and any tile wall on top of it in a shower will have mold behind it at a minimum. At a maximum, you only have that thin veneer over completely rotten mush. Water leaks quickly destroy homes so don't let it go on any further without taking action.
|"Heck, a hammer will get rid of the plaster and let you in to the wall."
And liable to do damage to areas of plaster not damaged by the leak.
Hammers and plaster are NOT a good combination.
|Thanks for the responses...
Someone also suggested that I fix the leak from the outside of the house (remove the siding, etc)... I guess no matter how I do this it won't be pretty...
|Patching plaster is not as hard as it may first appear.
You can use blueboard (a tye of gypsum board) as a base and then fill in the hole to be even.
While lime putty plaster is to hard to sand effectively, there are setting drywall compounds (Easysand) that make excellent repairs and can be sanded.
Do not try to use plaster of Paris, or even the 'patching plaster' sold in stores.
| So you open the wall and find the leak in a 1958 bath. I would say that you are dealing with concrete on a wire mesh, not fun. 4" right angle grinder w/ a quality masonry disk should go through concrete and mesh.
Chances are there is a three halve system which is probably exhausted its design life and is no longer acceptable by today's standards. This ain't gonna be a cheap repair.

This is #MyCurrentProject - but it's one that has been in the works for many, many years. Around Mother's Day 2012, Armstrong Cabinets held a "Gifted Moms" sweepstakes, and asked participants to enter a photo of Mom's ugly kitchen, and why she is deserving to win $10,000 of cabinets. I knew that my Mom was a perfect fit, so we entered, and won the prize!
As a parent myself, I understand how challenging it was for Mom to raise 6 children. Even despite the demands of parenting, she always made time to participate in the community, at church, and in service projects. Giving freely to love and serve others is her story! I knew that this would be a great surprise to win for her, and that she deserved it. She is counted as a blessing in the lives of so many family and friends!
35 years ago, after living in their home for 5 years, my parents installed a new countertop and a stylish Armstrong Solarian floor. That was the last time the kitchen was updated and was long overdue for a remodel! Unfortunately, the longtime plans for my Dad to remodel

"Child murderer."
It was the accusation Adam Baker heard several times from bystanders Friday as he left the Catawba County Justice Center in Newton.
Baker appeared in District Court on worthless check charges, which are unrelated to the murder of his daughter, Zahra Baker.
But that didn't stop several bystanders from shouting accusations of murder and wrongdoing at Baker and his mother, Karen Baker, who attended the courtroom session with her son.
Adam reported Zahra missing Oct. 9, starting his phone call with the 9-1-1 operator by saying, "Hey, how are you doing?"
Tabitha Nicole Spurlin, 27, of Catawba,, died unexpectedly Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2010, due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. The Spurlin family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home and Crematory in Newton.
James Edwin "J.E." Yount Sr., 88, of Hickory, died Thursday, Nov. 18, 2010, at Palliative CareCenter and Hospice of Catawba Valley. The Yount family has entrusted funeral arrangements to Drum Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Hickory.
The tallest starter for the Newton-Conover Red Devils girls basketball team grew into a new role for the upcoming season. Kadesha Gibbs, a 5-foot-11 forward, has shifted from playing like a small forward to more of a power position — occupied last season by graduated senior Renee Lewis.
"I know I have some tough shoes to fill," Gibbs said. "I just have to work hard and give everything I got."
Patty Arnold will probably never use the handbag she carried with her Nov. 6.
That was the day she was robbed of more than $1,100 -- money to be used for her husband's double lung transplant.
"I've always been so trusting," Patty, 71, said. "I always thought that it would happen to someone else; it wouldn't happen to me."
But she was wrong. Patty gave a stranger in Hickory a ride in her vehicle Nov. 6, and the stranger jumped out of the car, taking Patty's money with her.
Students at Catawba Elementary School love eating bacon and ham. Until Thursday, however, many of those students didn't know where that meat comes from.
First-graders from Catawba Elementary traveled Thursday to Red Wolf Farm in Maiden, where they learned how food, including pork, corn and goat milk, is made.
The 45-acre Red Wolf Farm on Water Plant Road in Maiden is operated by Josh Grant and his wife, Amanda Cline-Grant. The couple makes it their mission to teach the benefits of the local food movement to the community and beyond.
Highway Patrol continues to investigate the single-car crash Wednesday on Interstate 40 that killed a Catawba woman.
Tabitha Spurlin, 27, died at the 138 mile marker near the Oxford School Road exit in Claremont.
"It appears that she was about to exit and made a sudden lane change and lost control of the vehicle," said Trooper C.D. Cline, of the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Cline said he spoke with several motorists who witnessed the crash about 5 p.m. Wednesday. The drivers told Cline traffic appeared to be traveling the speed limit, so speed didn't contribute to the crash.
The Christmas season traditionally starts after Thanksgiving, but for the Catawba County Christmas Bureau, the holiday season is here.
The bureau kicked off its annual project to ensure as many families as possible have holidays filled with joy, gifts and laughter.
"It is this time at Christmas that we know means a lot to children, especially low-income children," said Jennie Connor, Christmas Bureau chairwoman. "Children want to know that they're just like every other child."
Thomas Garner Waters, 85, of Vale, died Thursday, Nov. 18, 2010, at the Palliative CareCenter and Hospice of Catawba Valley. The Waters family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home and Crematory in Newton.
Tabitha Nicole Spurlin, 27, of Catawba, died unexpectedly Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2010, due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home and Crematory in Newton.
Newton native and artist Rick Frye never forgot his hometown.
For that reason, he considers it an honor to share his artwork from the past several years with the community. Frye's exhibit, which he calls a project, opens at Newton-Conover Auditorium on Tuesday, Nov. 23. The show is the first public announcement that 30 limited-edition prints of Frye's original art are available.
The method for adding embroidery to clothes is centuries old, but the tools and techniques that once embellished apparel are a thing of the past.
Instead of needles and bobbins, ink and messy screens, the task of personalizing garments now includes computers in the formula.
Now, embroidery and digital printing combine with technology to yield a growing business.
For one Hickory entrepreneur, embroidery and digital printing plus technology equals a growing business for Addison Fox, 34, owner of Apparel Technology in downtown Hickory.

Brewed a 1.080ish beer last night. Maris otter, with a little C75, and black patent. Mashed at 150-149. Made a 2L starter, and pitched at 6PM. Aerated with pure O2 for 45 seconds about 5 minutes later. 5 gallon batch into a 6.5 gallon carboy that is sitting in a bucket of water at about 67-68 degrees. Went to check on the beer this morning at 9 and the top had blown off. Any thoughts as to what could have done this? Should I just use a blow off tube for big beers in general? This isn't the first big beer I've made, but the first blow off I have had.
Lol yep I always go with a blow off tube for the bigger beers. Your yeast was happy!!! Must have been a perfect set up for them, good job
Healthy fermentation causing high levels of CO2. Blow off tube is recommended, or maybe some Fermcap-S.
Well, you did about everything in your power to ensure a powerful fermentation. Low mash temp, big beer, big starter, lots of O2, fairly high temperature - past that, it all depends on the yeast strain really. If you're using a good top-cropping yeast strain, I would certainly use a blow-off for such a beer.
I just use some press n' seal wrap as an air lock...If it blows off then I just use new wrap...It's better for me than worrying about changing air locks and tubing for blow off. It sounds like you have a fine fermentation going.
Blow off is a good thing. You can even just let it continue to blow off naturally...Open fermentation is just fine. Air locks are not insurance of anything.
You effed up, you trusted it
I do all fermentations in 6.5g glass, and regardless of the batch characteristics I always start primary with 1" ID vinyl into a gallon vessel half filled with a Star San solution. Period. End O Story...
I ferment everything in 6 gal better bottles.
I use fermcap in every batch.
Never have a blow off, I'd hate to lose the beer!
God's own drunk, and a fearless man.

The first episode of Ex-Wives Club is one that I am particularly fond of because not only do we help our "man and woman of the week," but we throw a car out of a plane at 10,000 feet! The premise of the show is that we are trying to help a man and a woman get through what can be one of the hardest experiences of a lifetime: a divorce. These people were left broken and hurt, mad and sad, among many other emotions. How many of you out there can relate to a heart ache? All of us, right? We as humans seem to grow when we are in pain what is up with that? What about growth when there is no pain? But that is a topic for a whole other show! So back to the first episode of Ex-Wives
.Debbie Ford puts them through a two-day, very intense crash course of what they did wrong in their relationship and what to do to get over it. I am talking hard-core, people she tells it how it is. (I love that, by the way.) Then Marla, Shar, and I take over and give each person what they need...

Carrie Underwood to Perform at 2013 Emmy Awards
Carrie Underwood will take her powerhouse vocals onstage during at special tribute on the 65th Emmy Awards.
Carrie Underwood will take her powerhouse vocals onstage during at special tribute on the 65th Emmy Awards.
Apparently, it's like a Royal Rumble in country music this week. Everyone's in the ring and throwing punches this week.
There's always some less-than-thrilling things that happen each week, whether it's across the country, down to Music City in Nashville, or right here in our WNY backyards
Carrie Underwood is taking on the role as Maria von Trapp in a live NBC classic musical "The Sound of Music."
Here's a first look of @carrieunderwood as Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music. Airing 12/5 on @NBC -TeamCU pic.twitter.com
What seemed like the next round of artist vs. artist criticisms was misconstrued and taken out of context, according to one of the parties involved. Gary Allan says his answer to Larry King's question about whether or not Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are country has been spun in a way he didn't intend.
We're getting closer to the BIG event! Carrie Underwood is hitting NBC for a Live version of 'The Sound Of Music!' If that doesn't excite you enough - it's been announced that Stephen Moyer, True Blood, has also joined the cast!
Can't wait to see Carrie Underwood dominate the screen December 5th on NBC!
What is it about kids singing country music? It's irresistible every single time. Luke Bryan recently had an adorable show-stealer onstage with him, and now it's happened again -- this time to Carrie Underwood. The songstress invited a special little girl named Brooklyn to sing with her at the Puyallup Fair concert in Washington state on Friday (Sept. 14).
It's not easy to get a compliment from Simon Cowell where he describes you as "literally extraordinary" but Rion Paige found a way to do it. He goes on to say that she is a beautiful person "in every single way" and recalls the first time he met Carrie Underwood after her audition. See for yourself. Is Rion Paige going to do extraordinary things with her life?
Are you Carrie Underwood's biggest fan? Well, picture this: You and someone you know could be going to the 47th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville! Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and WYRK want you to be there!
Finally! While football fans have been waiting all day (and since last January) for the return of 'Sunday Night Football,' country music fans have been waiting patiently for Carrie Underwood to make her 'SNF' debut!
There's always some less-than-thrilling things that happen each week, whether it's across the country, down to Music City in Nashville, or right here in our WNY backyards.
Here's this week's rundown
Carrie Underwood caught one of her five-inch high heels in the tail of her shirt on Thursday (Sept. 5) during a show in Corpus Christi, Texas. The singer was singing 'Undo It' when she fell to the ground, injuring her left foot. "I can't move my toes. Is that bad?" she asked after the incident.
She's good looking.
She's talented.
And she's sometimes a klutz.

December 22, 2014
8-13-04 Andre Thomas, the Sherman man accused in the stabbing deaths of his estranged wife and her two children, plead not guilty by reason of insanity in a Sherman courtroom Friday. Thomas appeared in judge James Fry's courtroom wearing the eye patch he has worn since gouging his own eye out, an orange jump suit, and handcuffs. He's been heavily medicated since he was sent to Vernon State Mental Hospital seven weeks ago after being found incompetent to stand trial. Now, attorneys will have a few months to prepare their arguments.
The defense will claim that Thomas was psychotic at the time he murdered 20 year old, Laura Thomas, 4 year old Andre Boren, and 13 month old, Leyha Hughes. The prosecution says that their evidence will show other wise.
Jury selection will begin as early as October 18th, and could take over a month to complete. Lawyers will probe jurors for any emotional biases they have toward the case, and hope to have the jury selected by thanksgiving. If all goes as planned, the earliest the trial will begin is December.

Amazon Should Have Made Fire Phone Free
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- As TheStreet's technology editor Chris Ciaccia noted, Fire Phone is different from anything else Amazon.com (AMZN) has ever done.
The logic behind that statement is sound -- Amazon priced the phone in line with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone. So, presumably, it will not only make money when people buy things on the device, it will make money on the device itself. That's actually counter to Bezos's stated strategy of We want to make money when people use our devices, not when they buy our devices. Either Bezos has decided to satisfy his critics or we're missing something.
Amazon is all about volume. That's difficult for the love the company, hate the stock crowd to accept, but it has worked. It has generated a level of ubiquity for Amazon (and Amazon Prime) unmatched by any other consumer phenomenon of our generation. Even the now bygone Netflix (NFLX) red envelope can't match the omnipresence and staying power of the Amazon cardboard box.
Fire Phone breaks from that strategy. And that's not good.Without volume, profit on the phone itself (assuming there actually is any) means nothing. And the e-commerce sales and/or Prime memberships the phone generates mean nothing. You won't be able to recognize that profit or revenue on the bottom or top lines. So what's the point? To have a $199 Amazon smartphone sit next to the wholly more attractive iPhone at the AT&T (T) store? Because that's exactly what Fire Phone will do -- just sit there. It was silly for Amazon to enter the smartphone market in the first place. But it did and nobody was going to stop it. Amazon should have just priced the phone free or at minimal cost to existing Prime members as well as Amazon customers who sign up for Prime in the next six months or a year. Bill it as a limited edition phone that does all of these things the other phones can't do (even if that's untrue). See how that goes. And, if it worked, put out a sequel and do the same thing all over again. Instead, Amazon decided to ditch the method that, while consider mad by the peanut gallery, simply worked. That's a red flag for me. There's no reason why a significant number of people would want this phone at $199. If it's free, however, you have a differentiator. And a tool that can drive meaninful e-commerce sales. This unusual Bezos' misstep will ultimately render Fire Phone a non-event and the current hype surrounding it overdone.

Good sensor, okay light, pretty easy install
Jan 01, 2011
By 2010SoCal
I installed this in the front yard near the front door. There's not a tremendous amount of light, such as for security purposes, but it's good for the sole purpose of making sure you don't bump into anything. The sensor seems pretty sharp, when I drive up in my car it goes off just pulling into my driveway. The install was pretty easy, but I feel like it has kind of a clumsy look or something. It's just personal preference though. I bought this one and also the Fulcrum Products Light-It 6 LED Porch Light with Motion Sensor for the back yard. I would give each the same type of review, except that I prefer the look of the Fulcrum and the install was easier.
Update March 25: It's still working, no battery changes yet. The Fulcrum light stopped working after a couple months.
Update June 10: It's still working, no battery changes yet. I'm buying another one for the backyard to replace the Fulcrum.

So far great product...
Sep 21, 2010
By Gerry
I rely heavily on other reviews so I endeavor to give back.
This product works as advertised. I use it to light up a fenced in corner of my yard that I store garbage cans in. It lights things up very well, more than suitable for security. I was concerned with an LED spotlight but it exceeds my expectations. The device itself is plastic as expected, and about what I expected in weight and feel. Doesnt feel like junk but not a solid peice of machinery either. Been using for several weeks and rain has not been an issue, who knows what happens over time. Also not seen the cold temps yet but I have every reason to believe there will be no issues.
Lastly the motion detecter really works...as soon as I approach the corner it pops on.
I will buy more of these....
Update coming up on 2 years and this device is still going strong and on the same batteries that were installed out of the box new. The area is not high traffic for sure but it gets used daily at least.
Update November 2013: Still Great, just changed from 4 to 5 stars. I now have 4 of these around my fenced yard for both security and for my dog at night. As she wanders around the yard the lights pick her up and I think it is helpful as she is getting up in years. Also when I need to bring find her at night all I need to do is look where the light is lit. We actually play frisbee after dark and this light the way for her. I have a few mounted about 10 feet up on an Oak tree and the sensor works great, even at a 90 degree angle it picks me or my dog up. Buy without hesitation.

I need 10 of these!!!!
Oct 01, 2008
By Darby Bercu "Single Mom"
How did I live without this product? There are so many dark places around my house that I never wanted to pay an electrician to wire. Just take one of these Spotlights, put the batteries in, attach with two screws and you have light! And it's bright! It has motion detector so the light goes on only when my dog or I walk by. Otherwise you don't have to worry about leaving it on and wasting electricity. Great idea - great product!

Bright light, but stays on continuously
Feb 23, 2009
By KORAL ILGUN
The beam is quite bright for an LED motion light. However, two of the three I have stay on almost continuously even though there is nothing moving in front of them. They seem to go off and then on again immediately all night long, which means the batteries don't last too long. I will try to cover some of the sensor or aim it even closer to the ground to see if that helps.
Update: I covered 80% of the sensor with electrical tape, leaving just a small section in the middle exposed. The motion light is behaving much better now.

Great Product
Dec 07, 2008
By Barbara Calhoun
This is a great LED light. I have needed a light outside on my deck for a long time, but did not want to call an electrician. This is battery powered and installed very easily. The motion sensor triggers the light from someone moving anywhere on my deck and the light coming out of the spotlight is bright enough to cover my entire deck. I highly recommend this product.

Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation Announces Fiscal 2013 Third Quarter Results
- Reports Same Store Sales Increase of 1.4%
- Achieves Third Quarter Earnings per Diluted Share of $0.41 (Including a Net Charge of $0.04 per Diluted Share for Legal Matters)
- Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.10 per Share
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (Nasdaq:BGFV), a leading sporting goods retailer, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2013 third quarter ended September 29, 2013.
For the fiscal 2013 third quarter, net sales increased to $259.1 million from net sales of $251.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Same store sales increased 1.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from the comparable period in the prior year. As anticipated, third quarter sales comparisons to the prior year reflect a small benefit from the calendar shift of the Fourth of July holiday further into the third quarter this year, which resulted in certain holiday-related sales moving from the second quarter to the third quarter.
Gross profit for the fiscal 2013 third quarter increased to $87.8 million from $83.9 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The Company's gross profit margin improved to 33.9% in the fiscal 2013 third quarter from 33.3% in the third quarter of the prior year. The improvement in gross profit margin primarily reflects lower distribution costs as a percentage of net sales along with an increase in merchandise margins of 12 basis points.Selling and administrative expense increased $2.0 million for the fiscal 2013 third quarter over the prior year, but was unchanged as a percentage of net sales at 27.9%. The increase in overall selling and administrative expense was primarily due to a pre-tax charge for legal settlements of $1.3 million, of which $1.0 million was classified as expense and $0.3 million was classified as a reduction in net sales, and expenses of approximately $0.6 million associated with the development of the Company's new e-commerce platform.

USS Dane, one of 117 Haskell class attack transports, was built to a modified Victory ship design at Portland, Oregon, and commissioned in October 1945. Completed too late for war service, Dane made three "Magic Carpet" voyages between December 1945 and July 1946, returning servicemen from Okinawa, Guam, Peleliu, Manus, Truk, and Kwajalein to the West Coast. The ship then remained at San Francisco until placed out of commission in December 1946. Retained on the Navy list for the next decade as a mobilization asset, Dane was transferred to the Maritime Administration in September 1958 for further retention and stricken from the Navy list in October. The Maritime Administration sold her for scrapping in March 1975.

The mass and majesty of this world, all That carries weight and always weighs the same Lay in the hands of others; they were small And could not hope for help and no help came: What their foes like to do was done, their shame Was all the worst could wish; they lost their pride And died as men before their bodies died.Wystan Hugh Auden
Instead of this, I tell what I hope will pass as truth. A blunt thing, not lovely. The truth is seldom welcome, especially at dinner, though I am good at what I do. My trade is courage and atrocities. I look at them and do not condemn. I write things down the way they happened, as near as can be remembered. I dont ask why, because it is mostly the same. Wars happen because the ones who start them think they can win.Margaret Eleanor Atwood
The greatest joys are found not only in what we do and feel, but also in what we hope for.Bryant McGill
Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for.Bryant McGill
On the Day of Resurrection when He Whom God will make manifest cometh unto you, invested with conclusive proofs, ye shall hold His Cause as being devoid of truth, whereas God hath apprised you in the Bayn that no similarity existeth between the Cause of Him Whom God will make manifest and the cause of others. How can anyone besides God reveal a verse such as to overwhelm all mankind? Say, great is God! Who else but Him Whom God will make manifest can spontaneously recite verses which proceed from His Lord a feat that no mortal man can ever hope to accomplish?The Bab
Worship thou God in such wise that if thy worship lead thee to the fire, no alteration in thine adoration would be produced, and so likewise if thy recompense should be paradise. Thus and thus alone should be the worship which befitteth the one True God. Shouldst thou worship Him because of fear, this would be unseemly in the sanctified Court of His presence, and could not be regarded as an act by thee dedicated to the Oneness of His Being. Or if thy gaze should be on paradise, and thou shouldst worship Him while cherishing such a hope, thou wouldst make Gods creation a partner with Him, notwithstanding the fact that paradise is desired by men. Fire and paradise both bow down and prostrate themselves before God. That which is worthy of His Essence is to worship Him for His sake, without fear of fire, or hope of paradise.The Bab
I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?Edward Giobbi
There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value; whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.Francis Bacon
Another argument of hope may be drawn from this that some of the inventions already known are such as before they were discovered it could hardly have entered any man's head to think of; they would have been simply set aside as impossible. For in conjecturing what may be men set before them the example of what has been, and divine of the new with an imagination preoccupied and colored by the old; which way of forming opinions is very fallacious, for streams that are drawn from the springheads of nature do not always run in the old channels.Francis Bacon
I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province; and if I could purge it of two sorts of rovers, whereof the one with frivolous disputations, confutations, and verbosities, the other with blind experiments and auricular traditions and impostures, hath committed so many spoils, I hope I should bring in industrious observations, grounded conclusions, and profitable inventions and discoveries; the best state of that province. This, whether it be curiosity, or vain glory, or nature, or (if one take it favourably) philanthropia, is so fixed in my mind as it cannot be removed. And I do easily see, that place of any reasonable countenance doth bring commandment of more wits than of a man's own; which is the thing I greatly affect.Francis Bacon
I love Nicole. Nicole and I happen to be very great friends. Besides that, the press never get it straight. They do not print what you say... We were in Venice for Birth at the Venice Film Festival. And you know when you have a day when you go from one room to another with the roundtables with about five journalists sitting around at each table throwing questions at you all the time. So in one of these rooms, I'm sitting there. And one of the journalists said, you're an icon and Nicole Kidman's an icon and what do you think about that? And I said, why do you have to burden her with the category? She's a young woman. She's got her whole career ahead of her. Why does she have to be pegged as an icon or as anything? Let her enjoy her time. Don't, you know, suddenly put her in a slot. And that was all I said. The word "legend" never came up. It was "icon."Lauren Bacall
Today I read your autobiography in two volumes, Living My Life. These two books full of life, shocked me greatly. Your roaring of forty years like spring thunder, knocked at the door of my living grave throughout the whole book. At this time, silence lost its effect, the fire of my life was lit, I want to come to life and go through great anguish, immeasurable joy, dark despair and enthusiastic hope, throughout the peak and the abyss of life. I will calmly go on living with an attitude you taught me until I spend my whole life.Li Yaotang
Jim Acheson, our designer, told me I looked like his Auntie Wyn and I have never forgotten it. I wondered if it was the way I walked or wore my hat, but Jim just said that I had some indefinable air of an aunt. It was then I began to hope that one day I might play Lady Bracknell.Tom Baker
Living in an institution, rumours of change can make life more bearable, and starting rumours can be a wonderful pleasure for those without much hope. The National Theatre was like that.Tom Baker
You talk a great deal about building a better world for your children, but when you are young you can no more envision a world inherited by your children than you can conceive of dying. The society you mold, you mold for yourself. It was this way with my generation. We were unhappy with what we inherited and we tried to reshape it in ways that would make it more tolerable to us. You were not uppermost in our thoughts. Now, in middle age, some of us are trying to rewrite history. Some of us tell you, "We labored and dared and sacrificed all for you yet we hear no thanks." You will not be unduly moved, I hope, by these laments. They are sentimental cries from persons so attached to the society they have rebuilt that they cannot bear the thought of seeing it overhauled by new proprietors.Russell Baker
The odd thing is not that we are in the business of overthrowing other people's governments, but that we can still be surprised when somebody reminds us of it. In Asia, in Latin America, Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East we have been propping up and knocking down governments more or less openly for the past twenty-five years. It is an established policy. Everybody knows it. It is supposed to be done covertly, which is only sensible if you hope to succeed since publicity in matters of this sort can only make the natives restless and defeat the project. Imagine the chauvinistic rallying around President Nixon that would have occurred if Canada, say, had announced that her agents were going to destabilize United States society so that discontented Americans could heave the Nixon Administration out of office.Russell Baker
A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil; and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other; and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.Francis Bacon
Ideas are invented only as correctives to the past. Through repeated rectifications of this kind one may hope to disengage an idea that is valid.Gaston Bachelard
So long as faith with freedom reigns And loyal hope survives, And gracious charity remains To leaven lowly lives; While there is one untrodden tract For intellect or will, And men are free to think and act, Life is worth living still.Alfred Austin
I've never really thought of myself as depressed so much as I am paralyzed by hope.Maria Bamford
For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I hope that the human talent for self-destruction can be successfully controlled, or at least channelled into productive forms, but I doubt it. I think we are moving into extremely volatile and dangerous times, as modern electronic technologies give mankind almost unlimited powers to play with its own psychopathology as a game.James Graham Ballard
If I did not believe that our work was done in the faith and hope that at some day, it may be a million years hence, the Kingdom of God will spread over the whole world, I would have no hope, I could do no work, and I would give my office over this morning to anyone who would take it.Stanley Baldwin, 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley
I have not written about being a Negro at such length because I do not expect that to be my only subject, but only because it was the gate I had to unlock before I could hope to write about anything else.James Baldwin
I see myself more as an ambassador of the game. And I hope to bring chess to a higher level in the United States. Making bigger tournaments, more interesting events. Making it a respectable profession for young people to be able to pursue in the future.Maurice Ashley

Xenophilia, written by AnonAuthor and published on Fimfiction.Net by AnonponyDASHIE, opens several months after Bellerophon "Lero" Michaelides' unexplained arrival in Equestria. Despite missing his home and family, Lero has adjusted well — he has multiple paying jobs, a nice house, and a close friendship with Rainbow Dash. Said friendship gradually grows into love, but Lero fails to pick up on it until Rainbow impulsively kisses him in the opening chapter. The relationship soon escalates into explicit human on pony sex scenes.From here, the story follows Lero and Rainbow Dash's relationship through Rainbow's eyes as they both attempt to understand and adjust to each other's cultural and social norms. Particular focus is given to Equestria's tradition of polygamy, (a necessity given the male-to-female ratio) where the lead mare of a herd will set her stallion up with unattached mares.This story has since spawned a large amount of Recursive Fanfiction, (though some have partially involved the original author): a Scrapbook Story sequel — written in-universe by Twilight Sparkle — numerous collections of side stories, and a spinoff saga, all in progress and set at various points in the timeline, and several one-shots. The series has had a large influence on Friendship is Magic fan fiction due to its popularity, with elements from the story increasingly being referenced or borrowed in other works.The following Recursive Fanfiction also have their own pages:
Xenophilia and its spinoffs contains examples of the following tropes:

Intellectual freedom is essential to human society — freedom to obtain and distribute information, freedom for open-minded and unfearing debate and freedom from pressure by officialdom and prejudices. Such a trinity of freedom of thought is the only guarantee against an infection of people by mass myths, which, in the hands of treacherous hypocrites and demagogues, can be transformed into bloody dictatorship. Freedom of thought is the only guarantee of the feasibility of a scientific democratic approach to politics, economics and culture.
–Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov, Reflections on Progress, Peaceful Coexistence, and Intellectual Freedom, July 22, 1968

We use Food for a PC. All I did was pop the software (Excel spreadsheets and macros I think) up onto our shared resource area and the students just open the spreadsheet and off they go. The instructions are in word format so there is no problems there either.
I don't get involved in it much so it must be reasonably robust
Have you got a link for that?
I find Food for a PC a bit lacking, having a GCSE in Home Economics and having a reletive thats a Teacher of the subject, we felt it was ok, but out of date easily and not very helpful for those that are not so quick on the spreasheet way or things like teaspoons, litres etc into grams.
I have used Food in Focus which was really really nice and a good product, well worth the looking into as well as the others you have said.
We use Nutrients. Used to come as a straight application - just got v2, which is an MSI. They will prepare it to your exact specifications though, so no messing around with ORCA to put it in the right start menu group.
I'm surprised there are not more web-based apps that do this.
I did find OSS - with a nice java webstart to test: CRON-o-Meter
Thanks for your replys guys, Will look into all these apps.
This software is going to be used in the Kitchen to for the cooks to use.
If you go to the School Food Trust website they have independent reviews of 6 Analysis software packages.
These have been printed out and passed to the Kitchen.:)
School Food Trust | Independent Review of Menu Planning and Nutrient Analysis Software
Sorry to hijack this old thread, but for schools looking to implement a nutritional analysis package for use in their catering department, it might be worth looking at H-Port.
It is one of the packages evaluated by the School Food Trust and the review is quite favourable. The package is also web-based, remotely-hosted and comparatively very cheap to buy and renew.
I was honestly expecting it to be cheap rubbish after the other packages we looked at, but the interface is very slick and web2.0 without being confusing or overly showy. Information is presented clearly and the data entry, despite being very lengthy for a school with huge menus like ours, is about as efficient as we could have hoped for.
If you are looking to buy it, you may find that it is also marketed as HANDS in some areas, but the product is essentially identical.

If you're one of the many people that hates, just hates, the phrase social media guru, I have good news for you.
They're slowly being killed off by an elite group of ninjas!
According to LinkedIn, the use of the word "guru" in professional titles is on the decline.
However, in its place is a disturbing upward trend for the word "ninja."
Really people? Ninjas? What's next "superhero" or perhaps "rockstar?"

For details go here on Friday, with the deals set to run through Monday, Dec 1st. (11/4/14) SeaWorld San Diego has announced that as part of the park's Christmas Celebration (starting Nov. 15 through Jan. 4) the popular SnowWorld will return to the park once again over at Arctic Plaza featuring 8,000 sqft of fresh snow, a snowball target game, sledding, snowmen building, snow falling along the pathway and special holiday season treats! (9/11/14) SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular is coming back to San Diego on Sept. 27-28, Oct. 4-5, 11-12, 18-19 and 25-26. Aimed mostly at kids 12 and under, the event features in park trick-or-treating, character meet & greets, Otter & Penelope's Pumpkinfish Patch, DJ's playing music, a special Clyde & Seamore SeaLion show called "Clyde & Seamore's Spooky Adventure" and Sesame Street's Countdown to Halloween show. (8/30/14) SeaWorld San Diego will see the return of SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular on weekends from Sept. 27 to Oct. 26. (8/17/14) Updated: Killer Whale Habitat Expansion News.... click here. (8/6/14) In what may be our first batch of bad news for the 2015 season from SeaWorld Parks, I'm hearing it said that the California park's 2015 in-development plans were canceled due to budget cuts. Things are not looking good for the chain at the Turnstiles, nor are they looking any brighter over on Wall Street. Readers may recall I warned repeatedly that SeaWorld parks going public with a stock offering was a colossal mistake and it really has been. Even more interesting is that our sources also claim that the corporate bigwigs will be touring the parks across the nation with some unknown and very important "investors" in the next few weeks. Could it be the Wanda Group from China? (See the 8/5/12 story for more details.) (7/2/14) According to many reports, about 40+ guests and 2 crew members were stuck on the SeaWorld SkyTower for about 4 hours the other day, when a power crash brought their ride to a halt in mid-air. Everyone was kept calm and comfortable while they waited for the park's maintenance crews to repair the problem and lower the ride back down to the ground.

Recently I saw a terrific piece of theater at the National Art Centre in Ottawa. It was called "Seeds," and it was about the court case involving a farmer being accused of using Monsanto seeds without paying for them. It was documentary theater, meaning that all the dialogue was said by somebody. There was an ensemble cast, and actors played multiple roles.
The background of the case, briefly, is that a Canadian farmer was found to have pesticide-resistant crops in his field. The DNA of these crops is owned by Monsanto, who accused him using them without paying Monsanto. The farmer's argument was that the seeds blew in from trucks and other fields.
In the documentary, the narrator, who played the writer who did the investigations and interviews, said that she got representatives from Monsanto and the farmer to speak because she promised that the documentary was going to be "fair."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

I am currently sorting through a ton of pics following my journey along Route 66. Please bear with me if I don't comment on your streams as often as I normally would! This was one of my favourite places along the Mother Road. In an apparent tribute to the more famous Cadillac Ranch 18 miles further west, 5 VW's have been buried face down. It's not as well known as the latter so we had this all to ourselves to add more graffitti(visitors are encouraged to do so) and more importantly to take lots of photo's!
A couple months ago a made a post about amazing abandoned places. This is the second part of that post! Enjoy these new photos :)

These amazing abandoned houses are the work of artist Mike Doyle.
Each building can reach up to six feet in height, use up to 130,000 LEGO bricks and take approximately 600 hours to produce. And while you may think it—there are no foreign objects of either wood, glue, paint or otherwise in these constructions. Incredible.
If you think that's impressive, have a look at Mr. Doyle's latest work that is almost good enough to eat.

Iconic buildings such as the Flatiron Building and the Empire State Building are revered for their historical and cultural significance. However, few people are aware of the equally important structures scattered around the world—structures that have survived time, nature, and the wrecking ball.

Crexendo's CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Total current and long-term trade receivables were $9,360,000 as of June 30, 2012. As I have indicated before, we are working diligently on our sales efforts in our products and services. We are fully aware of the downward ramp of receivables and the sales – and when the sales from the Crexendo products must fully carry us. We are watching this closely and I am pleased with our progress, we are closely monitoring our sales progress and lead generation efforts. Doug will comment on this in the next few minutes.
I do want to give a brief update of our University Program. As you may recall the University Program takes the Crexendo software and uses that as the foundation to train students on a choosing classroom settings. In the curriculum, the student does a fully functioning e-commerce website for an actual business. We see two big benefits from this. First, the business will have a website that will be hosted on our platform which we will be able to service up-sell, cross-sell and use as a lead generator for our products.
We envision every website built to be a Crexendo affiliate which will supply the Company with customer leads. Secondly, we are training the next generation of business owners, both business owners that have businesses today and students that may have businesses tomorrow on our platform. We fully expect them to become Crexendo converts and to be a strong voice for our products and services. We are finishing our first test of the Crexendo University Program at one university and the initial results are very promising.
We will increase the rollout gradually over the next six quarters and we expect to have the offering in large numbers with the universities by the end of 2013. While we expect this to be a lead generation opportunity for the Company and its clients, all means not the only thing we are doing. Doug Gaylor will discuss this in more detail later.Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Tri-State family ready to cheer on Goepper at Olympic Games
Updated On: Jan 23 2014 12:06:20 AM EST
Nick Goepper's parents told WLWT they've been too busy to keep up with the security concerns coming out of Russia and it's out of their hands.
They said they're excited to go and wouldn't miss something their son has worked so hard for.
Living near Perfect North slopes in Lawrenceburg, Goepper's passion for skiing started at the age of 5.
"Nick's favorite thing was a snow day in the winter time. We would pack up really early and we would head out to the ski slopes and we would spend the whole day there," mother Linda Goepper said.
Now Nick, 19, is on his way to represent the United States on the first Olympic free skiing team.
"He's worked so hard, he's the hardest working kid that I know," Linda Goepper said.
Whether at Perfect North or in his own backyard course he built, Nick was constantly working on his slope style skills, even in the summer.
His father instilled in him to get the most out of every day and he did just that.
"I've told the other kids the same because anything can happen so let's get the most of out today and then we'll move on to tomorrow," father Chris Goepper said.
And that's what Nick will continue to do as he heads to defend his Winter X Games gold medal in Aspen this weekend before flying over for the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
Despite any security concerns in Russia, his family said they won't miss either event.
Instead of this cardboard cutout, they can't wait to see him in person doing what he does best.
"He's ready, he's practiced, he's trained, he's on top of his game right now," Linda Goepper said.
