BWW TV: TOP GUN Gets 3D Release!
The story of an elite group of pilots competing to be the best in their class and earn the title of "TOP GUN" captured the imagination of a generation and earned a worldwide box office of over $350 million upon its release. The film stars Tom Cruise as Maverick and Kelly McGillis as his civilian instructor. The film also stars Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan. The Imax release of Top Gun has been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of An Imax 3D Experience with proprietary Imax DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

Anyone went through Florida Hosp. GN program? - page 3
I would like to hear from anyone that went through the GN program at Florida Hospital. How did you like it, did you feel it made your transition from new grad to nurse more smooth? How do you like working for FH? Any... Read More
- 0Apr 25, '11 by Bronx010710I applied for Pediatrics, Women's Services, tele, Med/surg and ER. I was offered a job here in Women's Med/Surg, Med/Surg and Rehab so I think I will stay here unless offered Pediatrics, Women's or ER. I really want OB or NICU! I hope we hear soon!
- 0Apr 26, '11 by PokytrokytI got called by a nurse recruiter there today for more information following up on my job application several weeks ago. I'm from out of state, and I'm not sure yet about the quality of this hospital from a nursing standpoint: I didn't see any mention on their website that they have Magnet status.
But I'm having a hard time finding any openings for new grads in my area (DC) in ICU, so I'm looking around for opportunities elsewhere.
- 0Apr 26, '11 by MassagetoRNSo what did the recruiter say?
- 2May 10, '11 by cab3fQuote from BeMurphyMy Interview was two and a half weeks ago, I interviewed with only one branch of Florida Hospital for one unit (though I applied for several) so that in mind, other branches may be looking at your applications and the hiring processes would then be different. I am very excited, I graduated in December and was starting to get a little disheartened with the whole process so this is really exciting. The interview it self was more practical and welcoming then any I went through in California, I enjoyed being given the chance to go through a case study with the nurse manager and nurse educator in-order to demonstrate my knowledge. I wish you the best of luck!
Hi BeMurphy! I got an interview with FL hospital next week. What was the case study like? Was it more to demonstrate your technical skills or more critical thinking/decision making skills. I also graduated in December and I feel a little rusty so any advice you could give me would be great! Thanks so much.
- 0May 11, '11 by nursestacey62I went thru Fl Hospitals GN/critical care program about 3 years ago. The critical care program has 2 wks of classroom going over body systems, reading EKG's, and ACLS. It was pretty good. I was hired for a PCU floor in one of the satellite hospitals so I had to go thru the critical care program. Then I was placed with a nurse preceptor on my floor for 12 weeks. It was nice to have one nurse to follow and ask questions. We had 5 pt's which I think is a lot since they're all monitored. They have since switched the staffing to 3 pt's with no techs so the RN's do total care. Floor nursing was not for me. It's very stressful. I lasted 6 mos. I was probably not on the right floor. I was told that, if I could handle it there, I could work anywhere. I now work in the office of a home health agency. Florida Hospital is Seventh Day Adventist and there is a lot of focus on spirituality. It's not forced down your throat, but I was always aware of it. Let me know if you have any specific questions. I also worked at the main hospital as a rounding nurse for a while.
- 0Sep 17, '13 by ginnie003I did the GN program at Florida hospital. Worse experience of my life. They were so unorganized, rude, totally unchristian in their work ethics. I was reprimanded for "spending too much time" with my patients. I had five preceptors in the first five weeks of my training. One was great but a charge nurse so she could not continue, the other four were a little click and spoke another language. They would talk about me to each other when I didn't do something exactly their way.. and then I would be stalk watched at every moment so they could jump on me if I messed up. I went to HR to ask if I could be moved to another floor where I could have one preceptor. The HR gave me hope that a move would happen but allowed time to go by and never moved me. My favorite part (being sarcastic) is during orientation they sent in a man that was to motivate us as new employees. His two hour speech was of how "people of color" were taking over in the medical field. He was so prejudice and it was so apparent in everything he said. It was miserable working there.
- 0Nov 25, '13 by New2Nursing14'Oh wow.. I applied for the Jan/Feb position...I hope to hear back from them soon!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

On Behalf Of Peter Zeihan
Sent: June-11-10 4:45 PM
To: 'Analysts'
Subject: intel guidance for comment
The Russian leadership recognizes that a) the country's demographics
problems are shrinking its labor force both quantitatively and
qualitatively and b) that it lacks the indigenous capital resources to
hold its current economic structure - much less anything grander -
together. But Russia also enjoys the fact that Europe is fractured (and
becoming more so) while the United States is occupied with the Middle
East. If there is a time for the Russians to seize the day it is now. What
they want to do is extend their country's lifespan in the hopes that
Russia will still be around after another generation. That means somehow
importing the capital, technology and expertise necessary to launch Russia
forward 30 years technologically. This coming week the World Economic
Forum will hold its annual conference in St. Petersburg. The Kremlin is
hoping to use the conference to seal dozens - indeed hundreds - of
resource-for-tech deals that aim to provide Russia what it needs in
exchange for resources and Soviet-era technologies that Western firms
desire. It is far to early to even think whether this process will
succeed. For now we need to limit ourselves to gathering whatever
information we can on the foreign participants and the deals they are
striking with their Russian equivalents. Succeed or fail, this conference
will determine the nature of the next few years of Russian foreign and
economic policy.
There is a new batch of UN sanctions on Iran as of June 9 designed to
punish Iran for not providing sufficient transparency on its nuclear
program. Unlike previous batches this round actually has teeth (albeit not
particularly sharp ones). The sanctions targets the Iranian
military/intelligence complex (the IRGC) directly, any/all Iranian foreign
financial institutions, and Iranian shipping of all sorts. The sanctions
also sport two characteristics that are particularly worryingly from
Tehran's point of view. First, they green-light a broad array of actions
that an interested UN member state (read: the United States) can take to
enforce the sanctions. Now the United States has legal cover to take
pretty much any step against Iran it would like short of a bombing
campaign. [KB] We need to tone it down here Second, the sanctions were
approved with not only the full knowledge, but also participation, of
Russia - the country that Iran has been depending upon to defend Iran in
the UN Security Council. This development generates four separate intel
taskings for us:
1) Iran's access to international markets is sharply limited and
between the new sanctions and Russia's change of tune, Tehran needs to
find alternatives. The only nearby state that has the necessary political
independence to potentially defy the Americans is Turkey. In the next week
we need to get inside both the Turks' and the Iranians' heads to see how
they are inching towards each other.
2) The Iranians will also probably be looking for ways to knock the
Americans down a peg. Their best option for that is wreck Iraqi government
coalition negotiations. Those negotiations now (finally) are interesting,
both because they were finally making progress, and because now the
Iranians have a vested interest in seeing them fail. Time to dust off our
contacts among the Shia in Iraq.
3) Another option to distract the Americans and thus release the
pressure would be to give the Americans something new to worry about in
Afghanistan. Normally that would be done in concert with Russia and India
- the other two powers with which Iran has been collaborating to maximize
Tehran's influence. With Russia shifting position, we need to focus on New
Delhi to see if the Iranians are coming up with any new ideas. Also, we
need to look at groups in western Afghanistan that Iran has more influence
over, doubly so for those groups that have minimal links to other foreign
4) Finally, Adogg has been the face on taking a hard line with the
West on nuclear negotiations. That policy - at least for now - has failed.
Iran, like any country, is composed of many factions. We'd expect many of
those factions to seek to take advantage of Adogg's weakness to bolster
their own position. It is time for us to see what is going on both in the
camp of the Supreme Leader - who serves as arbiter over the Iranian system
- as well as that of Rafsanjani and Larinjani, the leaders of the group
that was sharply reduced in power in the aftermath of the 2009 protests
against Adogg.
Turkey appears to be realizing that its relatively dogmatic approach to
condemning Israel's actions against the Gaza blockade flotilla has not
generated the results it had hoped full. Israel, while under heavy
international pressure, does not seem likely to change its mind. That
leaves the Turks potentially looking as weak as the Arab states that have
been banging their heads against the Israeli wall for decades. [KB]
Incorrect. Huge difference between Turkey and the Arab states. This goes
against our net assessment. There are early indications that the Turks are
looking for a way to come down off the limb they have sat upon. It would
be stunningly unwise for the Americans to not provide a potential road,
but stranger things have happened (for example the Israelis shot up a
civilian aid convey bound for Gaza). We need to confirm what the Turks are
thinking about their position, and then find how what the Obama
administration is thinking about solutions. A logical path for both
discussions would be through the American and Turkish militaries which
enjoy far more cordial relations than the American and Turkish civilian
South Korea formally briefs the UN Security Council on the sinking of the
Chonan this coming week. It is difficult to anticipate how it will be
received, but what is sure is that China will be in the hot seat. No one
has any doubt that it was the North Koreans who sank the ship, and China
is the only country that has the tools necessarily to pressure Pyongyang.
China prefers for this entire issue to go away. The question is whether
the other states on the Council (in particular the United States) will let
it. This is one of those rare circumstances where talking with the State
Department might actually provide a glimpse into American plans. From the
other side, it is time to start pinging the North Koreans to ascertain how
they would react to Chinese pressure.
The World Cup is here! Obviously we're going to have some issues reaching
sources. Suffice it to say, the Cup is in South Africa, a country with a
less-than-stellar security record. Many big names from everywhere -
including U.S. Vice President Joe Biden - are in attendance. It goes
without saying that this could be a particularly juicy target for

Sterling Bank Launches Prepaid Card Products
Sterling Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of Sterling Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: STSA), this week launched two new prepaid card products, one version called the Everyday Cash Card and a student version called the Student Everyday Cash Card.
Both cards are similar to a debit or credit card in that they can be used anywhere Visa ® debit cards are accepted and at ATMs around the world. However, with prepaid cards, cardholders do not take on debt as they would with credit cards, and they are not linked to a deposit account like debit cards, meaning no overdraft fees can occur. These cards simply hold a balance of funds loaded onto the cards by the cardholders until purchases draw them down to a zero balance, at which point the cards can be reloaded with funds.
Prepaid cards, which are personalized with the cardholder's name, also are eligible to receive direct deposit of payroll and government payments.
The student version of the card provides parents or guardians a way to send funds to children away from home, and serves as a tool to begin financial-management education."Sterling's prepaid cards offer an affordable alternative for those who want a traditional checking account," said Patricia Baughman, SVP and director of Corporate Product Management and Market Research at Sterling Bank. "They also are great for customers who travel or make frequent online purchases and prefer to protect their primary account information. Additionally, they are a great budgeting tool, offering a means to control spending." Customers have the ability to set up and define the following text or email alerts for their Everyday Cash Cards:
- Add or remove funds alerts
- Low-balance alerts where you can set your own low-balance definition
- Signature and PIN transaction alerts
- Weekly balance updates
- Address and status change alerts
- Declined transaction alerts
- International, out-of-state and card-not-present transactions alerts

Design Within Reach
167 N Broadway
Milwaukee, WI 53202
(414) 224-5353
The idea for the bake sale started out as a leisurely pastime: to get friends together and baking. When multiple attempts at finding this leisure time proved difficult, Ashley Drew of Make Cake Milwaukee, and Amelinda Burich decided to group their baking efforts for a larger cause. It didn't take long to find their cause in a project begun by two talented women from Milwaukee.
Julie Ruplinger & Wendy Mesich, founders of Off the Grid Mke, had just received some green space from the City of Milwaukee. Their organization, Off the Grid Milwaukee, supports local projects designed to increase community self-reliance. They were given two empty city lots with which to begin their project. In collaboration with Milwaukee Urban Gardens, they want to transform these barren 12,000 square-foot lots at Richards & Clarke Streets into a productive community garden. They want to focus on innovative, hands-on training for their neighbors that will lead to the neighborhood providing for more of their own food needs. Starting this project wasn't cheap and they needed some financial help to get the project off the ground.
Ashley & Amelinda joined forces to recruit as many local bakers as possible. And what a response they received! Up to 40 local bakers, from Bayview to Riverwest, have offered their time, money and talent to bring the bake sale to fruition. The bake sale is on Saturday, April 11th at Design Within Reach. All proceeds with go to benefit Off the Grid and their community garden.

Details to be found on www.okcbynight.com - there you will find forums & details on rules / character creation. There is even a version of Grapevine you can download to create your character. Inquiries can also be made to the Storytellers at: jason at okcbynight.com and chevy at okcbynight.com. I have played with this group before, and had a genuinely good time. The first game is going to be Friday 12 Mar 2010 - yes, that would be Friday of THIS WEEK. Even if you happen to be away at Gulf War, you can still create a character and jump in.

By bringing the key stakeholders in global immunisation together around one mission, Gavi combines the technical expertise of the development community with the business know-how of the private sector
As a public-private partnership, Gavi represents the sum of its partners' individual strengths, from WHO's scientific expertise and UNICEF's procurement system to the financial know-how of the World Bank and the market knowledge of the vaccine industry.
As Dr Gro Harlem Bruntland, a former Director-General of WHO and first Chair of Gavi after its foundation in 2000, put it:
"Gavi is a merger of our comparative advantages that aims to deliver more than each of us can do if we go it alone."
By maximising its partners' expertise, existing networks and facilitating collaboration to find new solutions, Gavi has brought a single-minded focus to its mission: to save children's lives and protect people's health by increasing access to immunisation in poor countries.
Gavi's 'lean' organisation model that works through existing in-country partners is largely unique and contributes to its efficiency.
First Gavi evaluation (2009)
Rather than duplicate the services of the many players in the field of health and vaccines, Gavi relies on country-based systems and works with partners with widespread field presence to deliver its programmes. This keeps burdensome transaction costs down for implementing country governments.
Gavi is a merger of our comparative advantages that aims to deliver more than each of us can do if we go it alone.
Dr Gro Harlem Bruntland, a former Director, General of WHO and first Chair of the Gavi Board
Providing a single forum for each partners' unique perspectives has yielded a fertile ground for collaboration and innovation. Partners contribute to the Vaccine Alliance through participation in strategy and policy-setting, advocacy, fundraising, vaccine development and procurement, country support and immunisation delivery.
The different skills and experience mix has fostered new and better ways of improving routine immunisation, both in the programmatic and the financial spheres.
A true partnership has emerged stretching from the Gavi Board, where senior leaders set policies and principles, right down to the technical staff of partner organisations, who work together to support programme implementation at country and regional level.

Pick 6 Wins
Despite a good 4-2 start, it will still be VERY difficult for the Texans to make the playoffs unfortunately. It will be a close race all season with the Titans & Colts for the division. Then there will be the Patriots, Dolphins, Ravens, Bengals, and Chiefs all fighting for the two wild-card spots. (assuming Chargers, Steelers, Jets win their division). I think the Texans will need at least 10 wins to even be in consideration. So looking at the schedule, do you see 6 wins?
@Colts - to say the Texans will sweep the Colts this season sounds crazy! but with all of their injuries, it doesn't sound too crazy right now.
Chargers - their record isn't good, but they have the #1 defense & offense in the league. it would be a big plus if Gates & Floyd aren't available in this game.
@Jags - a must win! we always struggle against the Jags, but we have to beat lesser teams.
@Jets - in my opinion, the toughest game on the remaining schedule. at least we won't have to see Kris Jenkins.
Titans - if the Texans can stop their pass rush, we should win this game. i think we need at least a split against the Tits.
@Eagles - will be an extremely tough game. the offense will need to score 40 points in order to win.
Ravens - IMO, the best team in the NFL.
@Titans - see previous comment.
@Broncos - a much improved team, and the secondary will struggle against their passing game. but this is a must-win against a lesser team.
Jags - see previous comment.
So in my opinion, the Texans MUST take the two Jags games, split the Titans at least, and beat the Broncos. This means they must win two more games against top-notch teams. With all of their injuries, I think we need to take care of the Colts next week. If we can sweep the Titans as well, then it looks very good for us to take the division. If we can win one of the games against the Chargers, Jets, Eagles, or Ravens... I think that would be huge!

Re: Pick 6 Wins
"We can win any of those games, and lose any of them..."
Absolutely true.
This team is impossible to read. I thought they'd beat the Cowboys and Giants, and I really didn't think they'd come back after getting down against the Chiefs.
I just plan to enjoy the rest of the season, cheer them when they do well, and say "we'll get them next week" when they lose. Otherwise, I'd go crazy.

Pessimist. We're good enough to win every single one of those games. And don't forget - our division rivals play basically the same schedule as we do, so it's just as tough for them.

Re: Pick 6 Wins
@Colts - Beat Manning in his own building after the bye week for both teams. L 4-3
Chargers - Chargers are in disaray. W 5-3
@Jags - Jacksonville beat the Colt at home, I think we'll win, but this is by no means a gimme. W 6-3
@Jets - Jets are too strong for this weak, finesse team. L 6-4
Titans - I hate to say this, but the Titans are looking pretty good these days. L 6-5
@Eagles - This should be an interesting game. The Eagles are as schizoid as we are these day. Our offense pulls us out of another one. W 7-5
Ravens - This one could be ugly. L 7-6
@Titans - Beat the Titans @ Tennessee, I doubt it. L 8-6
@Broncos - Oh, come on, they lost big to the Raiders. W 9-6
Jags - At home, need to win it. Jags should be lame ducks by then so I'll give us a win. W 10-6

Re: Pick 6 Wins
Here's the deal, if i was a religous person in the traditional sense of the term I'd probably prey the Texans make the playoffs this year. I know I really hope they make the playoffs BUT - I'm afraid it's easier for me to pick 6 losses than 6 wins and it's almost surely gonna take 6 (or more) wins in the remaining games to get to post-season. Sorry, I hope very much I'm wrong about this ?

Re: Pick 6 Wins
If there is anything I've learned about the Texans under Kubiak is that you can't predict what they are going to do from one quarter to the next much less an entire game.
There is one thing that remains relatively consistent - we get better toward the end of the season. With that in mind, I'm thinking we make the playoffs with a last few games surge which includes beating the Titans in their house. I don't think we will beat them in ours.
We'll go 10-6 but I'm not about to try and guess which of the remaining games we will win. It depends too much upon the "mood" of the team.

Re: Pick 6 Wins
This year the good teams and bad teams seem to switch places every two weeks. Looking at what dream team posted at the top I think 6 wins is easy... or impossible.
Ask me again tomorrow and my answer will probably be "I think 6 wins is impossible... or easy".
It really does change every week for me.
@Colts - I expect a win. They're dropping like flies and if we can't beat them without all these pieces then we're never going to win a game in Indianapolis ever.
Chargers - One of those teams I fear but their record says I shouldn't. We should follow a road win at Indy (if w get one) with a big home crowd and a lot of momentum. If we win at Indy this has to be a win too. After all this will be the most important game in Texans history right?
@Jags - We have to at least split with the Jaguars this year. There's no excuse not to. A sweep at the hands of Jacksonville will be a terrible blow to our season. I have no feel for where this win will take place but we have to at least split with them. Call this a loss.
@Jets - We almost certainly lose this.
Titans - To have a shot at the division we must also split with Tennessee so I think we stop the two game skid here and beat the Titans at our house. For once Vince Young leaves Reliant with his head hanging.
@Eagles - The Eagles are like the Chargers in that you don't know what's going to happen. Capable of being beaten by us (even in Phily) but also capable of killing us if we don't show up entirely in business mode. I think we win here for some reason.
Ravens - Try as I might I can't see us winning this game. I'll be amazed if it happens but I think it's a loss.
@Titans - We probably lose this one, particularly if we can win the one at home.
@Broncos - The Broncos are fading fast and are going to fall apart before the season is up. We win this game I believe.
Jags - We have to win this one at home to end on a winning note and to earn our 10th victory.
That's this weeks version.
Fitz makes bad decisions. That's not going to change.
Beer Me
Re: Pick 6 Wins
@ Indy - we will have had 2 weeks to prepare for this game, but we have injuries now as does Indy. If we can control the clock again and get even slightly better against the pass we should win this game. This Indy team is the Indy team of old, but Manning can win any game. W-1
vs San Diego - I really can't understand this team. They are good on both sides of the ball, their defense is really good. For whatever reason they just can't stop making boneheaded plays. Looking at our current home form this looks like a loss.
@ Jacksonville - their passing D is as bad as ours, they may have just lost their RT for the year which is a big blow. They aren't great at passing the ball. We should make enough plays on offense to win by 2 scores. W-2
@ NYJ - This team owned us last year at home, and now have a HOF running back who is showing fresh legs and still has one of the best defenses in the league. Can't see us winning this game.
vs Tennessee - This is a toss up. All of a sudden Kenny Britt looks like the real deal and they still have Chris Johnson, you can no longer put 8 in the box and just look to shut down CJ. Their defense is much improved from last season (thanks to Jason Babin?). We shut down VY and pull out the W. W-3
@ Philly - Coming off 3 tough games on a short week we go on the road and get blown out against Vick and the Iggles.
vs Baltimore - This team isn't great against the pass (Ryan Fitzpatrick?) and can be exposed through the air. Schaub has a career day and we pull out a W. W -4
@ Tennessee - After a physical MNF game we go on the road to face another physical team and lose on a last minute Bironas 59 yard field goal.
@ Denver - Kubiak goes back to a city who respects him and after 21 unanswered points the crowd starts cheering for the Texans as the Broncos now refer to themselves as Broncos North. W-5
vs Jacksonville - We need to win this game to clinch the division and pull out everything to win on a last minute Rackers field goal. W-6
I drink because the Texans make me.

UH smoking ban delayed by complaint from UH faculty's union
A smoking ban at the University of Hawaii Manoa that was supposed to start in February has been delayed because of a complaint filed by the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly.
Click here to watch Kenny Choi's report.
School officials and the union do not see eye to eye just yet, and the ban could go up in smoke unless UHPA, the union that represents faculty interests, comes up with an agreement with school officials.
"We're concerned inconsistencies across campus lines, and believe Manoa violated our rights as an exclusive bargaining representative," said UHPA Representative Kris Hanselman.
UHPA did not clearly state whether it supports the all-out ban, but did say a 2012 policy approved by the Board of Regents restricts tobacco use on all campuses.
UH Manoa Chancelor Tom Apple says the school is still confident it will ultimately implement the all-out ban despite the delay.
"We need to engage in more dialogue about when and how much consultation is proper. That's what this is all about," said Apple.
The two sides will explain their positions in front of the Hawaii Labor Relations Board on Wednesday.
"On one hand UHPA doesn't like us to go with half-baked ideas, but clearly they don't want us to go to them with fully-baked ones," said Apple.
Apple says he's a former smoker and that the ban will ultimately save people money and improve their health.

Q. How do I know if my air ducts need to be cleaned?
A. Your cold-air return vents will offer a clue. If they're coated with a buildup of pet hair, dust and other debris, it's time to at least consider having your ducts cleaned.
Perhaps the more pertinent question is whether air duct cleaning is worth the expense and trouble.
Experts tell our team that consumers should expect to pay $300 to $450 to have all ductwork in a 2,000-square-foot home cleaned. It's also important to spend some time finding a reliable contractor to clean your ducts. Some companies may offer low prices to get a foot in your door. Beware of any service provider who uses scare tactics and immediately tries to upsell you into having mold removed.
A bad duct-cleaning job is worse than no cleaning at all because it can raise particles or even break part of an HVAC system. But experts say proper cleaning can boost the quality of your indoor air and may increase your HVAC unit's efficiency.
Before hiring an air duct cleaner, follow these tips, which our team gathered from highly rated service providers and consumers:
• Hire people who are certified through the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. You want someone who has invested in appropriate equipment and training.
• Make sure air duct cleaning isn't just an add-on service for the company.
• Consider a cleaner who offers high-quality before-and-after photos of your ducts. Or, some highly rated cleaners may open sections of ductwork before and after the job so you can see what you're paying for.
• Ask how the company will do the work. Reputable companies generally use a truck-mounted power vacuum, not portable vacuums. Also, thorough cleaning requires that ductwork be accessed at different points. Access points are typically a 4-inch to 10-inch round or square hole, patched with new sheet metal.
• Ask for and expect to get a written guarantee.
• Confirm that the company you hire is appropriately licensed, bonded and insured.
Consider having ducts cleaned once every two to seven years, depending on whether you and your household have severe allergies or lots of pets.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- After convincing the Kansas Supreme Court to throw out his 2nd degree murder conviction and order a new trial, a Topeka man has been convicted on a more serious charge.
On Monday, a Shawnee Co. jury found James Arthur Qualls guilty of 1st degree murder in the death of Joseph "Joe Bob" Beier six years ago, according to Shawnee Co. District Attorney Chad Taylor.
Beier was shot and killed outside the Whiplash Bar at SE 21st and California in July 2008.
Following Qualls' first conviction, the Kansas Supreme Court ordered a new trial in the case. Justices agreed with Qualls' appeal that jurors should have been instructed on the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter.
Qualls is scheduled to be sentenced on July 23, 2014.

In episode 2, the girls are left in shock after Danielles elimination by Elle, but a surprise Elle-Mail with a unique delivery method soon grabs their attention - a scuba diver in the restaurants giant fish tank acts as postman and reveals their next challenge! A cryptic clue sends the girls to change into their bikinis and head down to the pool...
(L-R Emma G, Emma S, Roxanne & Amelia)
The only time that the girls will face all the judges outside of elimination, the fearsome fashion four observe, advise and critique the girls as they show off their best catwalk poolside. The judges favourites begin to show, with Julien exclaiming to Rissikat \"Its so nice to see someone gorgeous, glamorous and sexy!\"
It\'s not all sweetness, though, as Jennifers tattoos cause controversy between the judges when Julien describes them as \"a bit common. Though tattooed Tyson supports Jennifer, saying that his tattoos are often airbrushed out for campaigns and they have never stopped him getting work. Elle argues Yes, but youre a superstar, its different. Miaow!
(L-R Jennifer, Anita, Tas & Anne W)
Elle and Julien are mentoring the girls on the shoot, which has an Arabian Princess theme. Elle says Id like you to treat this as if its a shoot for Bizarre or Vogue, so its quite sophisticated. And to work well together, so youre creating a great picture together.
The first group have a great energy, with Elle and Julien pleased with all three girls performances. But the second group has mixed results, some hitting the mark and other getting lost in the shot. The third group finds none of the girls wow-ing Elle or Julien and the fourth are unsure if their performance has impressed the judges. Julien brands the kaftans of the fifth group as the worst of the bunch, and of one of the girls, he reflects Take the make-up away, take the hair away, is there much left?
(L-R Kellie, Rissikat & Penny)
Ahead of elimination, the girls find out that there are only 14 places available in the Top Model House, which means that for three of their number, Dubai will be the last stop of their Top Model journey.Elle and the panel gather to look through all the photos from this weeks Arabian-themed photoshoot, critiquing every girl individually. Some are praised for their dignity, poise and chiselled cheekbones on the shoot, while others are branded awkward and uninspiring. A couple of the girls divide the judges opinions, yet some show a surprising transformation from their performance in the previous shoot.
(L-R Louisa, Diona & Lisa)
After revealing the girls staying in the competition, finally there are four girls left with only one place remaining in the house Rissikat, Diona, Louisa and Anna. As Rissikat is chosen for the final place in the house, Elle consoles the girls who have just missed out on this years Top 14.
But theres more drama to come, as its revealed that, Millie (Amelia) has decided to withdraw from the house for personal reasons and leave the Top Model competition.

He says the network, which is scheduled to launch August 30th, would benefit from another big-name university in a large television market.
In a copyright story in the Des Moines Register, Delany says officials need to address the issue in the next year. He offered no specific candidates for expansion.
In football, a 12th school could mean two divisions and a postseason playoff. That's an appealing concept to the startup network.
But coaches, including Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, have expressed concern. Some worry about missing out on a B-C-S bowl by losing the conference title game.
However, Delany says expansion would not guarantee the Big Ten would create an extra game. He says a title game has -- quote -- "a negative impact on your losing team."

NORTHERN IRAQ and WASHINGTON — The U.S. air force launched its heaviest bombardment yet in support of Kurdish forces in northern Syria as they began a fightback against jihadists around the embattled town of Kobani.
The Kurds reclaimed a hill west of the town, taking down an Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) flag visible from the Turkish border which had become a symbol of the advances made by the terror group in recent weeks.
They were helped by 21 air strikes over two days, the U.S. military said. "Indications are that air strikes have slowed" ISIS advances, a statement said.
"However, the security situation on the ground there remains fluid, with ISIL attempting to gain territory and Kurdish militia continuing to hold out," said the statement, using another acronym for the terror group.

The group has even published an online propaganda magazine called "Dabiq" – named after a key site in Muslim apocalypse theology where the "final hour" of humanity will occur.

The Package
Looking at the front of the package we can see it's not as big as the HD 5870 box that Sapphire had put together. This isn't uncommon as we tend to find only the highest model from Sapphire carries the larger box. Across the top of the box we have the Sapphire logo while to the right we see that the card comes with 1GB of GDDR5.
Moving down, we've got a picture of a girl and next to that we have the model, in this case the HD 5850 as we mentioned in our intro. Across the bottom we have the ATI logo along with some of the main features the card offers like DirectX 11, EyeFinity, CrossFire X and more.
Turning the box over, we've got a bit of a blurb on the model. Below that is a mention of what's in the box and then a few of the awards that Sapphire has won over the years. On the right side we have a more lengthy run down on the features and what they actually do for you.
Moving inside the box, we can see there isn't anything out of the ordinary. We've got a user manual, Sapphire Sticker and driver CD. As far as cables go we've got two molex to 6-Pin connectors, DVI to VGA connector and a CrossFire connector. Not quite as fancy as the HD 5870 bundle, but still everything we need to get up and running.

Preventing Brute Force Attacks With BlockHosts On Debian Etch
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Thu, 2007-09-27 16:43. :: Debian | Security
Preventing Brute Force Attacks With BlockHosts On Debian Etch
Version 1.0
In this article I will show how to install and configure BlockHosts on a Debian Etch system. BlockHosts is a Python tool that observes login attempts to various services, e.g. SSH, FTP, etc., and if it finds failed login attempts again and again from the same IP address or host, it stops further login attempts from that IP address/host. By default, BlockHosts supports services that use TCP_WRAPPERS, such as SSH, i.e. services, that use /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny, but it can also block other services using iproute or iptables.
This document comes without warranty of any kind! I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
I have tested BlockHosts on a Debian Etch system.
I will show you how to to use it with a service that uses /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny (sshd) and with a service that doesn't use TCP_WRAPPERS, e.g. Debian's ProFTPd package. Services that don't use /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny can be blocked by iproute or iptables.
I assume that OpenSSH and ProFTPd are both properly installed and working on your system.
2 Installing BlockHosts
As BlockHosts is written in Python, we must install Python now:
apt-get install python
Afterwards, we download and install BlockHosts like this:
cd /tmp
python setup.py install --force
Now we have to edit /etc/blockhosts.cfg. Modify it as follows:
vi /etc/blockhosts.cfg
In HOSTS_BLOCKFILE we can specify either /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny. It doesn't matter which one we choose. I'm using /etc/hosts.allow here. In the LOGFILES line we specify the log files that BlockHosts should look at. OpenSSH is logging failed login attempts to /var/log/auth.log, ProFTPd to /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log. COUNT_THRESHOLD specifies the number of failed login attempts from the same host after which BlockHosts should block that host. AGE_THRESHOLD is the numer of hours after which blocked hosts get unblocked. IPBLOCK specifies if you'd like to block hosts with iptables or iproute in addition to adding these hosts to /etc/hosts.allow (or /etc/hosts.deny).
Next we must modify /etc/hosts.allow. First back up your current /etc/hosts.allow:
cp /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.allow_orig
Then empty /etc/hosts.allow and put something like this into it:
cat /dev/null > /etc/hosts.allow
In the first section you put hosts that you want to whitelist (e.g. 127.0.0.1). If you'd like to whitelist the whole 192.168.0 subnet, uncomment that line.
Then we must add these markers - BlockHosts will add blocked hosts between them:
#---- BlockHosts Additions
The most important part is this one:
sshd: ALL: spawn /usr/bin/blockhosts.py --verbose --mail --iptables \
Now whenever someone tries to log in using SSH, /usr/bin/blockhosts.py is started, checks the log files that we specified in /etc/blockhosts.cfg, and blocks all hosts with more than COUNT_THRESHOLD failed login attempts by adding them to /etc/hosts.allow and by using iptables (which will totally block these hosts from accessing your system). All actions will be logged to /var/log/blockhosts.log.
Now we need to initialize BlockHosts. First, we do this with the --dry-run option to see if there are no errors:
blockhosts.py --dry-run --verbose
The output could look like this:
server2:/var/log# blockhosts.py --dry-run --verbose
#bh: logfile: /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log
#---- BlockHosts Additions
# ----------------------------------------
sshd, proftpd, vsftpd: ALL: spawn /usr/bin/blockhosts.py --verbose --mail \
# See "man hosts.allow" for info on %c and %s identifiers
# for non-verbose, with identification, to syslog only (/var/log/messages),
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks ok (apart from the IPv6 error which you can ignore), so we can run it without the --dry-run option:
blockhosts.py --verbose
This should look like this:
server2:/var/log# blockhosts.py --verbose
BlockHosts is now ready to check for failed SSH logins, but not for failed ProFTPd logins because Debian's ProFTPd doesn't check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, which means BlockHosts isn't invoked when someone tries to log in to ProFTPd (of course, if someone has COUNT_THRESHOLD or more failed log in attempts on ProFTPD and then tries to log in to OpenSSH, he will be blocked, because OpenSSH uses /etc/hosts.allow which then invokes BlockHosts which finds the failed login attempts to ProFTPd; but if someone tries to log in to ProFTPd only, there's no way to catch him with the current setup). To block non-TCP_WRAPPERS services, we will create a cron job that starts BlockHosts every five minutes (for example).

Maine Rock Gym is a specially designed and highly controlled area that allows people of all ages to experience the sport of rock climbing and to take it to what ever level they desire. Our climbing facility is made up of many different walls, with more than 5,000 square feet of rock like textured climbing surface. These walls have thousands of (holds) which provide grips for hands and stances for feet. A rope goes to the top of the wall and through an anchor; this rope is attached to a climber and then comes down to a partner called a 'belayer' who pulls the slackening rope through a friction device. If the climber falls, the friction device allows the belayer to easily arrest the fall.
Indoor climbing is a great thrill and challenge for all ages and abilities! In addition to being just plain fun, the gym provides an excellent place to increase self-esteem, develop team building, communication and problem solving skills. I'm certain any participant in any of our climbing sessions would find their experience at our facility truly enjoyable and rewarding. Whatever your climbing goal we can get you there.

Score from 147 reviews Excellent
Beautiful setting.Breakfast with the Koi fish. Great location.
Very naturous and decorated exterior with pools. About 20' walk from the ocean front is a great feature. Naples' main attraction street (5th ave south) is just under 10' drive south (or 45' walk). We found that $90 per night was a fair price for the town. Plenty of vending machines, breakfast for free, and convenience store across the busy street.
Finding a cockroach in our room feasting on food residue behind a dresser and having to vacate to another at 11:00 PM. It was nice to be relocated, but the staff pretty much shrugged when I told them the next morning what happened. Location is beside a horrendous 6-lane highway filled with elderly drivers. Rooms were typical of the roadside motel to the utmost degree- nothing special at all.
Nice garden, free parking, WiFi
The room on the ground floor the smell of dampness and chlorine, bad mattress. After changing rooms in the upper floor was not working lock. At breakfast, not enough tables to accommodate all the guests.
Broken toilet
Staff very friendly. Loved the outside breakfast!
- large room - nice garden - good breakfast - overall: great value for money
- relatively old - location could be better (but: no problem with a car)
friendly and helpful staff nice garden rental bikes available spacious rooms
From the staff to the breathtaking gardens surrounding the property, our stay will be a special memory. Could have just stayed on my patio and relaxed the whole time. Recommend to anyone visiting the west coast of Florida.
good location lovely beaches and agreat hotel
Pool, breakfast
Very enjoyable stay here. Great location for picking up freeway for onward travel, close to lovely beach and 5 minutes in the car to some very nice restaurants which were reasonably priced.the complimentary breakfast was also a bonus.we would definitely stay here again.
The pool area is very nice and we considered it a big plus that it is open until 10.00pm.
The complimentary breakfast buffet is a nice touch but could be improved. The fan in the bathroom is quite noisy.
The breakfast
Hotel was very clean and the grounds were beautiful almost a tropical setting. would recommend this hotel as a quite relaxing place and convient to resturants in the area.
as a smoker I don't have a problem smoking in the parking area but I think you could put benches and more ashtrays out there as I don't like to throw butts on the ground.
room was well equipped without being made to feel cramped. excellent outdoor swimming pool facilities. Good breakfast served
required transport to explore the town area
The pool garden area and the view of it from the rooms.
The only thing that was needed were better lighting in the main living area. The room was spacious and well kept.
Mattress was too soft, and new pillows were needed
The park area, pool area, appartment, all areas
The staff very helpful
Everything! The only thing that would make it absolutely perfect is if it were on the beach. But the place is amazing. It has two pools and the landscaping is wonderful. It's great to just walk around and see the plants, water features and all the statuary. There's even a very small miniature golf course- just a few holes, no obstructions. This was our second stay and we have already booked for next year. The best part is that it is reasonable.
Can't think of anything.
Friendliness of the staff. Clean condo. Parking Variety at breakfast I got a really good deal at this hotel. Scenic hotel - loved the ambiance.
Include more fresh fruit at breakfast.

The layout was so cute with the gardens and the ponds. We just loved it!
