Recently, our offices at the newspaper have gone through some major changes. Some people have left, new people have been hired, and lots of things have been moved around.As a part of the changes, my desk was flipped around and re-arranged to make additional space. In the course of the move, I rediscovered many old notes, article clippings, and things I hadn't looked at since I started working here. One of the things I stumbled onto was a column I wrote last year about New Year's resolutions going into 2008. It was a little upsetting at first. I realized after reading through it that I had not accomplished any of the three major goals I set. My first goal was to write a book. I've now realized what a major task that is. It's as painful as having a child and requires the attention of a skilled surgeon. The second goal was to learn some Spanish. I've long had the desire to make a connection with the native language of my grandfather, but, again, that requires attention. I've jammed out to Meringue and Salsa music in my car, but so far, that is about as far as I've gotten. The third goal was getting buff using the P90X home fitness plan. After some deal of trouble - the package was stolen from my porch the first time it was delivered - I received the package some time in mid-summer. Filled with 12, one-hour DVDs of insane, military-style workouts, and to-the-calorie meal plans, the whole package was quite intimidating. It would require as much physical energy as mental energy. The first I had, but the second, I didn't. When drafting my goals for 2008, I did not take into account how mentally exhausting the year would be. I really had no idea how much it would push me to my limits, and I don't believe I am alone. The 2008 presidential election was particularly draining. As a journalist, it was tiring to cover, but even as a citizen, it makes you confront harsh realities that tend to be forgotten in the years between elections: Life is hard; life is often unfair; and that our fears often bring out our worst qualities. Many of the comforts I've enjoyed in the past were put off to deal with the economy. I got rid of my Internet connection, I halted my search for a gym membership, and I even started changing the way I eat, in order to stretch my budget a little longer. By New Year's Day 2009, I felt like I came out of the other side of a meat grinder. This past year has really taken a lot out of me. However, knowing I'm not the only one who struggled in 2008 gives me a little more strength. While I may have not written a book within the last year, my writing has improved exponentially. Nuances which escaped me a year ago are much clearer to me now. While I haven't learned any Spanish in the last year, I have acquired many of the instructional tools I will need. Perhaps by this time next year, I will be able to order something from a restaurant that is truly authentic. And while I haven't gotten in the shape I want to be in, I've learned how to make much better use of my time. Perhaps, when I finally confront the beast, I'll have time left over to do something else. Everything didn't go right in 2008, but some things definitely did. Perhaps in 2009, I'll get some of the results I've been waiting for. Joel Hall covers government and politics for the Clayton News Daily. He can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

St. John Missionary Baptist Church of Chiefland, Florida, where Donnell Sanders is the pastor, opened the doors to Manna from Heaven Food Bank on Wednesday, June 10.
Manna from Heaven Food Bank is a not-for-profit organization started to feed needy people and improve their lives. This is done by providing food and other grocery products such as meats and baby formula. Also, educating and engaging our community to fight hunger and poverty is another of the food banks objectives.

Zachary Andrews says it was hunting that got him through. The Chiefland High School senior was a 15-year-old sophomore when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, and everything in his life changed.
"I was out turkey hunting with my dad and I tripped and fell," he said.
"My dad asked me, 'Why'd you fall down?' and I told him my knee gave out."
Andrews' left leg had been kind of weak and achy for about a month, he said.

We use this moodle plugin for access to windows shares
Moodle: Modules and plugins
but it's not much good without moodle.
SSLExplorer might fit the bill
SSL-Explorer: The World's First Browser-Based, Open Source SSL VPN
Within the next year we'd like to implement some method by which both students and faculty could access the contents of their school home directory from a remote location. We're a K-12 district with a mix of PCs running Windows and Apples. I do have some prior experience with webfolders made available through Microsoft IIS but did not like the way it was implemented. I'd like to make access as easy as possible, which for me means no complicated software installs for the end user (The last thing I want to do is to start taking calls from parents for tech support!).
I've considered some sort of WebDAV implementation but was discouraged by Microsoft's lack of *working* WebDAV support integrated into the OS a-la OS X.
I'd imagine that most of the files being accessed would be Word/Excel/PowerPoint documents which are generally small, however there are a large number of students enrolled in the graphic arts programs where seeing a 50+ meg file is not uncommon.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Batman (26th January 2010)
You can bypass Microsofts shoddy webdav implementation in XP by using Novell Netdrive. BTW, it's fixed in Vista, and of course w2k worked all along.
Could you please link me to where you were able to find NetDrive? I had some trouble understanding exactly how it was distributed. The last time I look (some months ago) I understood that it was free, but also that it was only distributed along side some Novell product and not readily available from their website.
I'm glad to hear that WebDAV support has been fixed in Vista. To be honest, I haven't even given Vista a look yet. I think setting up a Vista workstation is going to be one of my summer projects since I'm getting more and more questions about it every week.
Netdrive used to be freely avalible from Novell. Instead they replaced it with another product called WebDrive, which is only availble if you buy it.
The following Novell Cool Solutions Q&A elaborates.
Cool Solutions: NetDrive.exe
http://server.cnwl.ac.uk:80/home) but once you do that it works fine. Is there something else which doesn't work? We're using WebDAV quite successfully here.
IIS 7 will introduce a new version of webdav which will provide more features and control of which directory/part of website to enable webdav on etc.
Don't know if the client will need updating.
Why bother, use an SSL Appliance, fitted in minutes then forgotten.
Ok, it's not the cheapest solution but from an end user support point of view it's the easiest method I have ever used.
I have never had an unhappy client, even those that have spent thousands on Webdav based portals have never looked back after installing one.
Test drive a Sonicwall version here,
NETGEAR SSL312 - ProSafe? SSL VPN Concentrator 25
SSL Explorer
SSL-Explorer: The World's First Browser-Based, Open Source SSL VPN
Each has it's own advantages/disadvantages but all are worthy of closer examination.
I gave up on Webdav due to inconsistencies with clients and browsers not displaying the folder contents correctly.

Batting long eyelashes can fan the flames of love or extinguish the flames of really tiny fires. Look hot with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $59 for a full set of flare eyelash extensions or a half set of individual extensions (a $120 value)
- $69 for a full set of individual eyelash extensions (a $160 value)
For the first option, flare eyelash extensions come in clusters, and individual extensions include 60 lashes per eye. The second option's individual lash extensions include 80–200 lashes per eye, depending on eye size and desired look.
Appointments last 60–90 minutes. Lashes last 60–100 days and shed gradually with natural lashes.
Beyond Beauty Lashes
According to a feature that OC Weekly writer Michelle Woo penned in praise of Beyond Beauty Lashes, a visit to one of their six private treatment rooms can yield big results. That's because the salon's extensionists meticulously elongate eyelashes using synthetic extensions, with the option to upgrade to silk or mink options harvested humanely from live animals, just like the cookies harvested from cookie monsters. Clients can choose from various lengths, thicknesses, and colors to achieve their desired look. The extensions typically last 60–100 days, shedding gradually with natural lashes.
I've been a client for over six months now and I'm addicted. My lashes always look great and I get tons of compliments on them.Amber C., Yelp, 4/24/13

Free pregnancy tests and low-cost prenatal care for women with no insurance is the aim of Paradise Valley Hospital's Family Assistance Program, which began Tuesday.
Some are young pregnant working women too old to be on their parents' insurance and too poor to afford health insurance on their own. Others are foreigners working at Scottsdale or Paradise Valley resorts on short-term work visas who become pregnant with no way to pay for prenatal health care.
These are the circumstances of some of the women who gave birth in 2004 at Paradise Valley Hospital, said Irene Ray, the program's coordinator.
A community baby shower will celebrate the center on Feb. 26, with free information on pregnancy services, food and children's activities.
Of 1,742 babies born at Paradise Valley Hospital last year, 641 had received little or no prenatal care, Ray said. That statistic caught the attention of Paradise Valley Hospital physicians and officials.
"The Family Assistance Center will provide resources for individuals who would not otherwise seek health care, to encourage low-income or poverty-level pregnant women to seek prenatal care," Ray said.
A similar program at Maryvale Hospital in Phoenix four years ago has expanded to two other sites in the West Valley, Ray said. Paradise Valley Hospital's Family Assistance Center will offer the first such program in the East Valley.
The program aims to help women deliver healthier babies and reduce the number of babies born prematurely or with birth defects, said Dr. Shannon Moorehead, chairwoman of the hospital's obstetrics department.
"By having prenatal care, we know how far along the pregnancy is — because that's difficult to determine when you just walk in in labor," she said.
The program offers lowcost physician checkups, and a $350 package covering laboratory tests and ultrasound procedures, Ray said.
"There are a lot of infections that we look for in pregnancy, like gonorrhea and chlamydia," she said. "Those are things that could affect the birth; they could give the baby eye infections that could cause blindness when they're born."
Pregnant mothers also should be tested for hepatitis, syphilis and HIV, she said.
For information about the program, call (602) 923-5200.
New Family Assistance Center
When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 26
Where: Paradise Valley Hospital, 3929 E. Bell Road, Suite 105, Phoenix

They held the world's biggest celebration of leather, bondage and sexual fetish in San Francisco on Sunday, and due to the event's interactive nature, many people are now walking gingerly.
"Enough is enough," said Lowell Clark, pulling up his blue jeans after emerging from one of dozens of spanking booths at the 25th Folsom Street Fair.
Clark, a 30-year-old San Francisco waiter, conceded he was a novice at the booths, where men and women in search of stimulation were struck with whips, paddles or bare hands. Clark was last spanked at the age of 6 at the hands of his mother in Oklahoma. A stolen pack of chewing gum was involved.
"I still don't think I'll steal anything," Clark said. Still, he called the spanking a "stinging pleasure" that he would try "maybe once a year."
It was just another scene from the city's most unabashed bash - a public display of all things kinky that covered 13 blocks in the South of Market neighborhood and drew hundreds of thousands of people, many of them not wearing leather in key places.
There were naked people selling bondage gear and naked people seeking support for measures on the Nov. 4 ballot. There were naked people with cameras, taking pictures of other naked people.
One man wore only an 11-foot Burmese albino python, which curled around his waist. The arrangement seemed risky.
The fair is fun but also important, said Al Waddell, a 58-year-old entrepreneur from Oregon whose Paddle Daddy flogging implements were available in mahogany, hickory and walnut.
"It brings kink out of the closet," he said as he tried to coax visitors a step further - onto his $645 leather sex sling, complete with metal frame and stirrups. "There's absolutely nothing wrong with kinky play as long as it's between consenting adults."
A group of about 10 protesters standing outside the fair didn't agree with Paddle Daddy. They passed out brochures that called homosexuality a "disorder" and urged voters to pass Proposition 8, which would prohibit same-sex marriage in California.
"If you go in there, you see public nudity and street orgies," said Anthony Gonzales of San Jose, the president of the St. Joseph's Men's Society, a Roman Catholic fraternal group. "We want to know why this is allowed on the streets of San Francisco without any sanction at all. ... It's anarchy."
Inside the partitions, bands played on two stages and people drank beer and margaritas. The many gawkers at the event were easy to spot: they were fully clothed, clung to the sidewalks of Folsom Street, and often stared with mouths agape.
"It's great we live in a country where you can do this," tourist Brian Churchwell, 34, of Seattle said as a topless woman was tied up and then suspended by ropes on a raised platform.
More than 250 vendors sold whips and chains, tattoos and piercings, artwork, pornography, leather-scented soaps and oils, and products for those drawn to "bears" - men who tend to be, among other things, large and hairy. One booth offered "Free spankings for the religious right."
The San Francisco Voice for Israel booth had just a few visitors, but the nearby Society of Janus Spanking Booth was packed. There, an announcer urged men to "drop trou" before leaning against a St. Andrew's Cross and submitting to punishment.
Enjoying the sight was Tora Engle of Sacramento, a 21-year-old "slave" in a black leather corset whose hands were bound in leather cuffs behind her back as she was led around on a leash by her fiance, 23-year-old Marcus Santos.
"In everyday life, I'm dominant. I make most of the decisions," Engle said. "With this, it gives me a chance to give up control, and Marcus takes the control. It keeps the balance in our relationship, so we're both satisfied."

The Fortune Cookie Chronicles
Adventures in the World of Chinese Food
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
While this book is filled with culinary adventures and history, it's chronological ordering can leave a person lost and confused. The inconsistency can cause a person to wonder what the author is actually talking about in the current chapter. However, despite the lack of fluency, the rich history provides a perfect read for Chinese-American teens and young adults who are desperately trying to figure out why it just doesn't taste like Mom's cooking.
Chinese restaurants are more American than apple pie, says Jennifer 8. Lee in "The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food." There are twice as many of these restaurants as there are McDonald's franchises, and the food they serve is every bit as predictable. "What Chinese restaurant menu doesn't offer beef with broccoli, sesame chicken, roast pork lo mein, fried wontons, egg rolls and egg drop soup?" asks the author, an "American-born Chinese" who cheerfully admits to an obsession with Chinese restaurants.
Lee is a city-beat reporter for The New York Times. Her inclination as a journalist is to trace a story all the way to its genesis, but not without taking some fascinating detours.
This was well worth the read! Highly recommended!

No worries!
I think that if Spin sees Yellow like a sister then it could explain why she is becoming protective of her. That and also I can see a tie in with the idea I sent you over PM (which I will not mention in detail here since it'd be a spoiler XP).
Elm's Pokemon are infinite, like Zubats. Whenever a new member joins they can still request a starter. It will just magically appear in Spinel's bag X3 But they will also receive a new trainers package with gives them an extra 20 points (I think that's a good number) and a common Pokemon that the team has already encountered.
The new trainer's package will change as the story goes on, eventually giving new players even more points and Pokemon. But for now since we're not that far in the game I think it's good to just offer a small amount of points (yes, 20 is a small amount in this game X3) and just one Pokemon since most of us seem to have six, give or take X3
Woobats themselves I don't like. I like their evolved form, Swoobat. And I only started liking it after I started training one in my Pokemon White Nuzlocke.
Send me a PM then and I'll gladly look over it :3
@Drago: I'll tell you this- It has to deal with a character from Gold and a character from Silver.
Aww! Okay then. You be the evil game master we know you to be X3 lol jk. Surprises it is then!
No, it's not a trade-off. Though she and I do have a few trades in mind. But that really ain't much of a spoiler.

Nickel Creek
Saturday, July 26, 2014
Twenty-five years ago, before any of them had even reached the 8th grade, three of acoustic music's most important young voices would debut their talents at a pizza joint in Carlsbad, California. That evening, in a part of the country known more for surfing and earthquakes than bluegrass, Sara Watkins, Sean Watkins and Chris Thile began their journey as Nickel Creek, and acoustic music felt a seismic shift.
Nickel Creek crept into my consciousness with their self titled album in 2000. I was blown away by their breathtaking output and staggering musical chops, taking traditional bluegrass instruments into fresh, nuanced territory. Some years later, after the band began an extended hiatus, I began to cross paths with each of them at various shows in Los Angeles and festivals around the country. As I got to know them, I grew from just a fan of their music to a fan of them as people who possess genuine depth, kindness, wisdom, and soul.
Since the band took a break in 2007, each of their careers has blossomed, and while their individual accomplishments are undeniably amazing, I am just so damn happy these three fantastic people have reunited and that their unique, intangible, exuberant vibe will ring out once again. Welcome back, Nickel Creek!
– Ed Helms

Men with hot bodies? Check. Incredible dance moves? Check. Reality TV drama? Check. Oh, hello, I have a new favorite TV show, and it's called "All The Right Moves." The new reality show on Oxygen follows four male dancers/choreographers as they embark upon launching their own dance company. Some of the faces are familiar: Travis Wall and Nick Lazzarini were both competitors (and beloved by viewers) on "So You Think You Can Dance." They're joined by the equally as dreamy and talented Teddy Forance and Kyle Robinson – seriously, you'll probably have a hard time picking a favorite. (Personally, I'll always be a Travis girl.) Check out the preview for "All The Right Moves" above, and meet all four of the guys, plus a bunch of other smokin' hot professional dancers, in the gallery below. And catch "All The Right Moves" when it airs on Oxygen tonight, July 31, at 9/8C. [All The Right Moves; Facebook Fan Page]

Chris Matthews nails the White House communications director on his claim that no one in the administration promised that gas prices would go down after the invasion of Iraq.
Meanwhile, crude prices are holding above $72—a record high.
Crooks and Liars:
Chris Matthews caught Dan Bartlett in a lie about the Iraq war and gas prices today on Hardball.
MATTHEWS: [W]e've been struck by higher gas prices. That was another promise made, that this war would help us get cheaper gas—
BARTLETT: I don't think…
MATTHEWS: None of these promises come through.
BARTLETT: That's not correct, Chris. The president or no one else ever said that this war was going to result in cheaper gas prices…
From crooksandliars.com
"Hardball" host Chris Matthews and the White House communications director spar over the issue of rising gas prices.

Hadassah Associates MEN WITH A MISSION
Mark Roth's Remarks to the Delegates at the Gala Dinner
About two and a half years ago, my family traveled to Israel to visit our eldest daughter who was spending her gap year studying and volunteering there. We were fortunate to have my in-laws travel with us, but my parents, who wanted very much to come as well, were unable to do so because of my mother's dialysis schedule and her weakening condition. Unfortunately,within 36 hours of our arrival, I was enroute back to the States while my family said their good-byes to my mother via Skype.
I tell you this story not to evoke your sympathy but to discuss what followed. When we rose from shiva, my father expressed his desire to go to Israel with me both so he could see our daughter and so I could have some semblance of the trip that I had missed. In particular he wanted to see Hadassah Hospital, to understand why my wife, Loren, and I are so passionate about this cause and devote so much time and money to its manifold endeavors. While we toured the hospital with Ron Krumer, the director of external relations, my father who had been married to a Hadassah life member but was a fairly new Associate himself, turned to my daughter Sarah and said, "Look at this. We built this." Not "the women." "We." A collective effort.
I am proudly married to a passionate Hadassah life member and future region president who treats her responsibilities as more than a full-time job, and I have supported her in these efforts for the last 20 years. While Loreen made me a Hadassah Associate on paper, it was a woman, Debby Mazon, working with a man, Jim Smith, who made me an Associate in my heart. The leaders of Associates such as Jim, Howard Kaplan, of blessed memory, and Joel Marks, give me direction, while the women of Hadassah, particularly Haren Haber, our National Chair, Nancy Falchuk, and the current and past presidents of the Northern New Jersey Region, help me make things happen.
I've had the same experience visiting other Hadassah sites with my family, including the Meir Shfeya youth village and Hadassah College Jerusalem. The work of these institutions is our work, their goals our goals, their values our values. I know I do not need to elaborate for I am truly "preaching to the choir" in this venue: I will mention only a few to illustrate what I speak of: Stem cell research; Unmatched trauma care; Children at risk; The clown corps; First responders to disaster relief; and on and on.
When I speak with the highly talented and successful men who are Hadassah Associates, I find that they are passionate and fully committed to the work of Hadassah. We derive our inspiration from the women of Hadassah and we share a common vision. While we may organize golf outings instead of card parties and ball games instead of theater events we are driving towards the same end result: financial support for Hadassah projects, outreach to new and prospective members of the Hadassah family, and education for all.
We live in challenging times. Economically, people are afraid for their jobs, feel insecure about their financial futures. They are to give, and those who can give, have an enormous range of worthy causes from which to choose. Those who are fortunate enough to have jobs are asked to work longer and longer hours, leaving precious little time for families and even less for volunteerism. Politically, fundamentalism combined with easily available weaponry, growing anti-Semitism cloaked in anti-Israel rhetoric, the threat of a nuclear Iran, and the ease with which European leaders and college professors alike preach a moral equivalence that turns terrorist into victims, all create an environment in which the very survival of the State of Israel is in danger.
It's a cliché that bears repeating: These are the times that define an organization. We have no choice but to rewrite our playbook if we are to survive and thrive into our next 100 years. We are challenged for resources at the time the need for our services is greater than ever. My friends, we need to work together. When the men and women of Hadassah work together, as I have seen so many times in my own experience, the results can be astounding. Let us in. Together, let's explore different ways to attract new members and new avenues to engage our current members. There are times when men and women want to be involved separately, but increasingly, with time so precious, they welcome the opportunity to engage as couples or in mixed groups. Help us make connections on the chapter and region levels and we can deliver much-needed funds to Hadassah. We no longer have the luxury of time on our side; the needs are too great and if we do not actively touch these men, we will lose them to other organizations.
I have a day job. I work upwards of 14 hours a day with people calling on me from around the globe. I have three children, a wife, other family and friends, outside interests. I could easily say that I'm busy enough and the last thing I need to do in my so-called "spare time" is lead an organization of over 30,000 men, trying to get them to give more, involve their friends, commit time and effort that they can't really afford either. But I can't do that. i believe in this organization. I stand with you. I don't have all the answers. Sometimes I don't even feel like I know the right questions. What I do know, in my heart, is that Hadassah is a cause worth fighting for.
My name is Mark Roth, and I Am Hadassah.

Lord Moynihan to leave his post as chairman of the BOA
Lord Moynihan is to step down as chairman of the British Olympic Association (BOA) later this year.
Moynihan, who also sat on the board of the the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog), will stay in the post until elections for his successor are held.
A former Conservative MP, Moynihan has chaired the BOA since October 2005.
Prior to politics he won Olympic silver as cox of the Great Britain's men's rowing eight at the 1980 Moscow Games.
This wasn't expected, and has taken quite a few people by surprise, not least members of his own staff. He's doing this because he wants to spend more time with his family and his business interests. That seems to be what's behind this. This will also give him more time to lobby for the Olympic legacy for school sport, which is something he is very passionate about.
In a letter to the BOA executive board, the National Olympic Committee and the BOA advisory board, Moynihan said: "The last two weeks have united and inspired the whole country and have surpassed all expectations.
"This was a job outstandingly well done by everyone who works at the BOA, the governing bodies and the volunteers who joined the BOA team in the run-up to the Games and I am exceptionally grateful to you all."
Moynihan has held his post at the BOA for seven years, re-elected unopposed in 2008.
However, in March 2011 he was suspended from the board of Locog along with chief executive Andy Hunt in a dispute over the allocation of funds after the Games in London. A deal to end the row was concluded later that spring.
During London 2012, Moynihan helped Team GB win 29 golds and finish in third place on the medal table.
He also vocally supported teenage Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen following accusations from a United States swimming coach that cast doubt on the gold medallist's record-breaking time.
"She's been through Wada's programme and she's clean. That's the end of the story. Ye Shiwen deserves recognition for her talent," he said.

Moynihan has left the BOA with a critical financial mess. A good time for him to get out before the proverbial hits the fan. How about some lobster and Bollinger, my wealthy lord.

@25 Keith Bote:
"Why has Moynihan announced this before the start of the Paralympic games? It makes it look as if he was only interested in the "real" games, and that he couldn't care less about the Paralympics. Very poor".
The British OLYMPIC Assocation hs no involvement with the Paralympics - the clue is in the name.
Chairman of the British Paralympic Association is Tim Reddish.

All I'll say is that it's easy to say the 'right' things in public. He's a politician after all. It's how you behave and what you do that counts. Credit where it's due - no word from athletes about their camp, the kit or the final prep. The rest was down to others. A great chance to rebuild and move on, building on an amazing games.

Trope-wise, "Remember the Alamo" is a Battle Cry that memorializes an enemy atrocity and is invoked to galvanize the civilian population into supporting the war effort. Historically, an alternate title might well be Remember the Maine! (which incidentally happened over 60 years after the Alamo).

Your house is your fortress and you want it to be beautiful and comfortable. However, most homeowners also know that keeping the home beautiful and comfortable requires continuous maintenance and repair. In fact, the quickest and easiest way to make your home appear beautiful and new is by painting it on the outside and inside, and by hiring a professional company to do the job.
We, at On The Spot, understand that you want your premises to look beautiful. As we are a reputed property maintenance, remodeling and construction firm with many years of experience in the field, we know exactly what to do to revamp your premises to enhance its appearance internally and externally.
Our Painting Services
Good exterior paint is now available in more than a 100 different shades and textures. Paints can be combined with wonderful finishes like slate, stucco, masonry, etc., to create different appearances. A home maintenance firm will paint the exterior of your home, the sidings, trim, shutters and front door in lovely neutral or astonishing shades that will instantly impress viewers.
Painting is particularly important if you are planning to sell your home. Exterior paint costs about $35 to about $50 per gallon and a good painting firm can offer you an excellent deal on exterior painting projects, combined with a lucrative deal for interior painting jobs. Some painting firms will also assess the exterior walls and repair them before the painting job is completed. In the end, a good job will immediately impress any buyer interested in the home and this will definitely increase the asking price of your home.
Changing interior paint is also necessary once in five years. Beautiful paint jobs can accentuate interior areas and enhance the visual appeal of a home making it seem inviting and comfortable.
Another reason to paint your premises is to eliminate smell and challenge fading. Cooking grease, candles, smoke, fireplace soot and the general smells of a home can easily be trapped in paint layers resulting in a musty smelling home. On top of that, uneven sun exposure can also cause paint to fade and peel in certain areas, resulting in uneven patchy areas on walls. The best way to prevent this is by repainting your premises with the best quality paints.
Borders, faux finishes, shading, tinted walls, neutral colored walls, earth tones, accent colors on one wall or along one corner are all ideal ways to brighten up an interior. Achieving these results is possible but only if you have a trained professional painter or home maintenance firm who will understand your needs and translate them on to painted walls.
Our customer service team is geared to provide the best quality service to all our customers. Get in touch with us through our online contact form, email or phone. We will send across a company representative to visit your home and to provide a price estimate for your approval.
Painting your home or commercial premises on the inside and outside can instantly change the ambience and appearance of your home. However, an experienced painter from a professional renovation and repair firm likeOn The Spot is essential.
At On The Spot, we have our very own in-house team that will evaluate your walls, recommend repairs like waterproofing and even suggest interior and exterior wall treatments that will immediately raise the value of your home financially and aesthetically.
Like what you see? Setup a free in-home estimate by calling 201-843-1200 or click here to contact us.
"The company responded quickly in scheduling an estimate for my roof....very polite contractor that came and gave me a great estimate. I am very satisfied in my decision to go with this company and they were prompt in scheduling me to have my roof done. I will and have recommended On The Spot Home Improvements to my friends and family."
"On The Spot was very professional. They came by to view the project and provided us with a booklet about their company and services. The work was done very well and in a timely fashion. On The Spot followed up the project with a phone call to make sure we were satisfied. I would definitely use this company again."

Doctor Who: The Glamour Chase...Review
An archaeological dig in 1936 unearths relics of another time...and, as the Doctor and Amy realise, another place. Another planet.
But if Enola Porter, noted adventuress, has really found evidence of an alien civilization, how come she isn't famous? Why has Rory never heard of her? Added to that, since Amy's been traveling with him for a while now, why does she now think the Doctor is from Mars?
As the ancient spaceship reactivates, the Doctor discovers that nothing and no one can be trusted. The things that seem most real could actually be literal fabrications--and very deadly indeed.
Who can the Doctor believe when no one is what they seem? And how can he defeat an enemy who can bend matter itself to their will? For the Doctor, Amy and Rory--and all of humanity--the buried secrets of the past are very much a threat to the present.
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.
I love Doctor Who. And while I wasn't too sure at first, I love Matt Smith's Doctor. He owns the role now and it works. I love the show and I enjoy reading the tie-in novels.
Rory features prominently here and it was so nice to see him get some credit for being bright. I'm afraid that he will end up being the tin dog of the series and I like him too much for that to happen. Seeing him take more of a strong role here was refreshing.
This one sounded interesting and, for the most part, it was. The aliens who need rescuing are a fascinating breed and would make for interesting graphics were this a televised episode.
Sometimes the novels absolutely capture the Doctor's voice and sometimes they don't. This one tried too hard to capture Matt Smith's Doctor and it was easier for me to picture David Tennant's Doctor speaking the dialogue.
The story wasn't the easiest to follow and I found myself skimming some sections, but it was a light diversion while waiting for the Christmas special!

An extract is a preparation of plant -- ethnobotanical or herbal -- using a solvent to release the active compounds from the plant material. Extracts made with alcohol are referred to as tinctures, while those produced with glycerin are glycerites. It is believed that an herbal extract is often more effective than pills or capsules containing the same herbs. The fresh or dried herbal material is macerated, placed in the solvent for a specific time and filtered to produce an extract containing the active constituents of the herb.
Alcohol/water based extracts have a number of advantages. Because they are concentrated, a smaller amount of extract is needed; the alcohol acts as a preservative, so these extracts have a long shelf life; and the method of preparation allows for more accurate dosing.
Dry extracts have been developed to make the constituents appropriate for use in tablets, capsules, and other medicinal forms.

Two days ago, my battery light came on while driving. The positive pole had some corrosion, so we cleaned that off, and checked all the other connections, light went off, and everything was fine.
Yesterday, the light began to flicker. It will stay on for 2-15 seconds at times, but mostly just flickers, and at random intervals. We pulled the alternator and had it tested, and it tested better than fine. The belt and cables are in good shape, but the light still randomly flickers.
The dash and headlights are not dimming at all, and the car has no problems starting or idling. Right now, the mechanic thinks that it could be a sensor or loose wire in the warning system, and has nothing to do with the alternator or battery, that my battery is still receiving charge from the alternator, but we have to wait until the light comes on and stays on to hook it up to the computer. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this problem or any other ideas.

2001 Toyota Corolla Question: Battery light flickering
Two days ago, my battery light came on while driving. The positive pole had some corrosion, so we cleaned that off, and checked all the other connections, light went off, and everything was fine.
Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, April 30, 2009, 21:47Master
I have seen this type of problem before with Toyota Alternators. We check them on an old Sun scope where we can look at the diode pattern ,alternator out put charge rate and voltage. When the battery light next comes on and stays on, pull over to where it is safe. With the engine running hand brake applied, get a friend to watch the battery light, hit the alternator itself with moderate force (not a sledge hammer) does the light go off, if so the brushes, regulator, diodes or some other internal problem is present in the alternator itself. Often with the car hooked up on our tester I can hit the alternator get the diode and charge pattern to go away, tap the alternator again and get it to come back and charge normally. If the charge light is on the battery is not being charged so you will not be able to drive far , but if by tapping the alternator the light goes out the problem is in the alternator.

Autotechpat, thanks for the advice. When I took the alternator in to my guy, he actually pulled the entire thing apart after testing it and the entire thing was clean, brushes, regulator, diodes, ect.

Weavers from the remote parts of India exhibit their products at Sangini.
They live in remote regions of the country, connecting the threads which make up the wonderfully diverse mosaic of India's crafts and weaves. They cultivate and collect cotton, make yarn and dye it in lyrical pools of colours and deftly handle the loom to create ancient weaves. Today, the artisans of Okhaimandal, Gudimudi, Kotpad and Pittal are part of a growing craft movement driven by NGOs, corporate sectors, individuals and societies, which connect tribal and rural talent and creativity to contemporary textile markets. NGO initiatives such as Okhai, Women Weave, Nirja and Dwaraka, as well as Hands of India and Dastkar along with Sambhalpuri ikats and Kotpad weaves craft a story of joint creative enterprise, sustainable development and empowerment. Their lifestyle products such as kurtas, kurtis, stoles, dupattas, salwar sets and accessories feature their craft skills like abala work, intricate embroidery, bead work, patch and appliqué work in contemporary and trendy formats. These are being showcased at Weaves and More which opens in the city today.
The Tata Chemicals Society for Rural Development has set up self help groups involving 450 tribal women, from villages of Mithapur and Babrala in Okhamandal, Gujarat, to bring their traditional crafts of mirror work, patchwork and embroidery into ready-mades. NIFT designers not only suggest layouts for their craft work but design the outfits following contemporary trends. The affordable ready-mades and accessories feature smart pintucks and stripes along with juxtaposing of block fabrics.
Women Weave is an NGO working with the tribal women of Gudimudi, who are adept at making highly spun yarn, on their 'amber charkhas,' which is used with the help of Maheshwari weaving skills to make fashion wear, stoles, hand bags and so on.
Other NGOs displaying their work in Weaves and More are Nirja with their stylish hand bags and artefacts and Hyderabad based Dwaraka which works with Kalahasti's kalamkari artisans to create a range of party bags, dupattas and stoles. Hands of India's ready-mades featuring embroideries from all over the country and Dastkar's hand-woven fabrics from Andhra are other exhibits at the show.
Ramesh Chandra Mehar, the paramparik weaver from Sambhalpur holds up a rare 'Pasapalli' ikat sari which has taken him a month to weave. The motifs depict compelling patterning in red, black and white. "This is a special sari worn by Odissi dancers," says Ramesh as he displays five kinds of ikats that he specialises in . Other saris that are striking are the rare matka and tussars, Kotpad cottons, Bengal silks and Kotas rich with ari embroidery in gold and silver.
Weaves and More is on at Sangini, Besant Avenue Road, (opposite Royal Enfield showroom), Adyar, till May 12. Phone: 6565 1111.

|3. Would you buy a converged SAN/NAS device?
The future bodes fairly well for the new generation of converged block and file storage devices, such as Network Appliance's recently announced product. To wit, a recent Storage magazine survey reveals that hardly anyone (<10%) has exclusively block or file-based data, while 47% already have both SAN and NAS storage. Furthermore, even with no shipping products on the market, 38% answered that yes, they would buy a converged device, compared to only 23% that responded with a categoric "no." But 39% of respondents remain unsure, waiting to be swayed by actual product demonstrations.
