Nick's Friday Round-Up: Hodgepodge Edition
He should had done a barrel roll. =(
It's 11/11/11, and you know what that means? NOTHING! Except a lot of 1's, so it makes it easy to remember today's date. Also, Veteran's Day, so a big thank you goes out to all the veteran's who helped to keep this country safe and free.
Video games are awesome, but then you hear that one of them is educational, and you think to yourself, "Wow, that game must be super lame." Right? WRONG! Here are 6 educational games that were awesome! [dorkly]
Cute little animals. We love and adore them. We even allow them to become our best friends, but underneath that cute, loyal exterior is a troll. A cute, fuzzy, conniving troll. [geekosystem]
We all love Muppets, and probably grew up watching Sesame Street. I know I did. What you probably didn't know was they used to have a black stereotype Muppet that quickly got the axe. Here's are 10 fun facts that you didn't know about Sesame Street. [buzzfeed]
Nothing is faster than the speed of light, at least that's what most of us believe. Well, in actuality, you can break the speed of light in your own backyard. Curious, are you? [howtogeek]
Technology has come a loooooong way in the past 20 years, and people's skills in using this technology has evolved with it. I thought Lisa's Photoshop skills were pretty top-notch, but this guy blows her out of the water. A guy uses Photoshop to create a drawing that looks like a photograph of a real girl. [youtube]
Keeping in theme with the Photoshop skills, here's some fantastic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan art. Some are amazing, some are super cute, and some will give you nightmares for weeks. [buzzfeed]
You know as a kid you always wanted some sort of secret passageway or hidden room in your house. Ok, who am I kidding, I STILL want a secret passageway in my house, and there are people out there who made that desire into a reality. [mentalfloss]
I'll leave you with another fun game to waste time playing, that is if Solip Skier hasn't occupied enough of your time this week. Zombie Trailer Park, is quite simple. Build up your trailer park and keep the zombies at bay long enough to overpower them and destroy their base. Stage 1: Easy and fun. Stage 2: inb4uragequit. Stage 3: I'm still rage quitting from stage 2, but I'll be back. [addictinggames]

Nestled in China's famed Jing Mai Mountains are some of the rarest tea trees in the world. Wild and ancient, they are exposed to natural sunlight and produce deeply flavorful tea with minimal human intervention.Woodsy and subtly sweet, with hits of cocoa and a pleasing pungency, Sook Pu-Erh Cha is a limited harvest from a family-owened estate where traditions have been passed down for generations. It brews to a vibrant red liquor and releases and earthy aroma of honeyed woods.

Not as good as expected

Comments about The Coffee Bean Tea Master's Sook Pu-Erh Cha Tea:
The tea tasted very odd. It had an unpleasant chemical taste, and semed to be of lower quality than "The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf" standard (and less expensive) varieties.Although this was my first time tating Pu-Erh tea, I was highly disappointed in its flavor. My disappointment is with the tea itself and the price as opposed to the brand.

Comments about Nike Kentucky Wildcats NCAA BB Performance Hoody:
I wear a Small in every piece of Nike clothing I own, and I made the mistake of assuming this would fit too. Well the small fit like at least a medium. Also the elastic band at the bottom is too tight so it makes the hoodie bunch up above your waist. Needles to say I returned it and since there isn't a smaller size, I couldn't do an exchange. I had also got a nike basketball t-shirt that also fit way too big. I think for any of the nike basketball stuff, you need to order a size smaller than you normally wear in Nike. Too bad the Buckeye Corner doesn't offer free return shipping if the item doesn't fit. Won't be ordering from here again.

The Knight at Dawn
Peacocks for dinner and boys in skirts. That�s what Jack and Annie find when the Magic Tree House transports them back to the Middle Ages for another wild adventure. They find themselves in the middle of an enormous castle and can hear the beginnings of a feast under way in the Great Hall. But Jack and Annie aren�t exactly welcome guests!
Mummies in the Morning
Jack and Annie don�t need another mummy. But that�s what they get when the Magic Tree House whisks them back to ancient Egypt after reading a book on the same subject. There they find themselves in a pyramid face to face with a long dead queen named Hutepi. Will Jack and Annie be able to help her, or will they end up as mummies themselves?

We bought these because we got a free one with a Wendy's kid's meal. Our kids (4 and 2) LOVED it. We listened to it in the car, at bedtime, and any quiet time. They are hooked on the books now too. the author does a great job reading them and they are engaging. My BIG complaint with this particular set is that the 8 stories are split among 5 CDs. So Story 2 starts on CD1 and continues on CD2. There are no book titles on the CD label, only "Book 1-2". My kids like to use these by themselves, but they can't manage finding the right sets of CDs to listen to one story, or fast forward to the right track to start the right story. It's completely annoying. Also if you're travelling you can't just bring one CD you have to bring 2. (Or of course you could burn them to a new CDR but that's annoying).We love the stories, but hate this CD setup.
I bought this item because we got a Wendy's Magic Tree House Audio book. We loved them! I'm not saying we don't like these. We like them better, but there is eight books and only five cds! So it is Book #1 and Partaily #2. That stinks! We like this product and it is great value, but it stinks that we have to have two cds to listen to one! We loved the interview!
Great price for these GREAT books! My grandchildren love them and they are a nice change from DVD's in the car!
Great for my struggling readers. They love to listen and follow along to the books.
I purchased these Audio CD's to help keep my Grandaughter interest in books. She struggles with reading and is behind for her age. She started out with the CD's and followed along with the books that we had purchased seperately. She played them over and over again. She just loves the stories. Before long I heard her reading the book on her own. I thought it was just from memory, but was quickly surprised that she was reading the whole book . These are all great stories read by the Author of the Books and keep kids very engaged! Since receiving these Audio CD's her reading level has jumped to steps or levels in school. I have already purchased 9-16 of the Audio CD's. Anything that helps children to love reading is a great tool. We have listened to them on short trips and the stories are easy to understand and fun to listen to. They also help you feel like you are part of the story and helping out Jack and Annie to solve the Mystery Adventures!
I bought the books with this cd collection. It's a great way for the kids to practice their reading skills. So far my children are liking it very much.

text: I have been doing far too much looking at pretty things and not enough making of pretty things lately so, over the past few nights (while waiting on video game buddies) I have been working on this charm-heavy bracelet. I love the little blue fiber optic stars; the pink flowers with their fossil bead centres, and the silver butterflies add a lovely touch of spring to my otherwise dull, chosen-purely-for-warmth, ensemble. Just looking at it sitting around my wrist is enough to remind me that the winter won't last forever! Of course it will be a lot more comfortable once this long-sleeve weather is over but I can't help but wear it anyway - there is something really nice about bracelets because you can see them as you wear them; the rest of my jewelry feels like it is for everyone else to look at and admire whereas this bracelet is for me.

Courtesy Food Safety NewsThis frozen berry mix from Townsend Farms Inc., Fairview, Ore., has been linked to a multi-state hepatitis A outbreak.Federal officials are warning consumers and retailers to throw out a blend of frozen berries from Townsend Farms Inc. because they have been linked to a hepatitis A outbreak that has sickened at least 30 people in five states.
Townsend Farms, Fairview, Ore. — which also markets fresh berries — has not issued a recall for its frozen Organic Anti-Oxidant Blend even though the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued statements that the product is linked to the outbreak.
According to the CDC report, Townsend distributed the frozen berry mix to Costco stores. The CDC and FDA have not determined if the product was distributed elsewhere. Townsend's website states that the company was an early adopter of the Produce Traceability Initiative and that it can trace every berry it sells back to the farm that grew it.
"Investigation by state health departments, FDA, and CDC is ongoing," according to the CDC report. "Costco is notifying its members who purchased this product since late February 2013, and has removed this product from its shelves."
Federal investigators are inspecting the Oregon grower's operations.
"FDA has begun an inspection of the processing facilities of Townsend Farms," according to the FDA outbreak report. "The FDA is also developing a protocol to test berries for the Hepatitis A virus (HAV), and will be testing samples related to the outbreak, including the frozen blend for the presence of HAV."
Telephone lines at Townsend Farms repeated a message that operators were busy on June 3. Attorney William Gaar, who was quoted by various media as saying he represents Townsend Farms, did not immediately respond to calls for comment.
The Townsend product includes pomegranate arils and cherries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Gaar told Oregon media the pomegranate arils came from Turkey. The product label states the contents are sourced from the U.S., Argentina, Chile and Turkey, according to the CDC.
The CDC reports the strain of hepatitis A linked to the Townsend product is identical to that linked to an ongoing outbreak in Europe that began in October 2012 and another 2012 outbreak in British Columbia, Canada.
"This genotype was identified in a 2013 outbreak in Europe linked to frozen berries and another 2012 outbreak in British Columbia related to a frozen berry blend with pomegranate seeds from Egypt," according to the CDC report.

Sea Breeze At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; available in most major drugstores.
Weaknesses: Irritation is the rule rather than the exception; average cleansers; terrible toners/astringents; boring moisturizers; no sunscreens.
There is very little positive news about this longstanding line that began with a single astringent. The original Sea Breeze product is still being sold, and still laden with a cadre of ingredients that only harm skin. In terms of any of these ingredients being disinfectants, some of them are. However, there are considerably better, gentler disinfectants available that don't deluge skin with needless irritants.
The expanded Sea Breeze lineup is nothing special, consisting of a couple of mediocre cleansers and a bland moisturizer. It is clear that their niche market is primarily those looking for astringents under the mistaken notion that alcohol, peppermint oil, camphor, and other irritants are needed to reduce acne and oily skin. Alcohol is a great de-greasing agent for skin, but the free radical damage and irritation it causes lead to oilier skin in the long run, possibly with superficial dryness. None of the Sea Breeze products are worth serious consideration, even though it is one of the more affordable (yet woefully incomplete) skin-care lines on the market.
For more information about Sea Breeze, call (800) 487-7273 or visit www.seabreezeclean.com.

Rear brakes/suspension

Just wondering if it was possible to easily change a cars rear drum brakes to disk and a torsion beam suspension to macpherson struts. A couple of hatchbacks i was interested in has rear drum brakes and torsion beam suspension (xA, fit, yaris). Would it be better to change this setup if it's possible anyway?

I'm driving to Subway to get lunch and in my residential neighbourhood for whatever reason, the city has some big hoses running from a fire hydrant to a project a few blocks away (they are digging something up, not sure what) and they are covered in ashphalt. In essence it's a big speed bump for which you have to slow down to a crawl to go over.
Well being so nice today, I had the windows open and the stereo cranking....next thing you know....BANG!!!!! Needless to say I had gone over these stupid hoses with my car. I was going about 60 Km/h (35mph). Shortly after there is a 4 way stop and I went through that no problem...phew. I keep driving a couple of seconds and slow down for a turn and when I apply moderate pressure to my brakes there is this "clunk" sound from what I think is the front of the car (not really sure though).
The car turns fine and there are no noises as far as I can tell when I turn the wheel either way. Also there is nothing leaking under the car, and looking at the undercarriage nothing seems to be hanging/out of place nor is there any sign I bottomed out. So my only problem is this clunking sound whenever I apply moderate pressure to the brakes (no sound when light pressure applied)
I took it into the shop today and told them my problems. They ended up doing a brake service which consists of inspecting and lubing the brakes. The noise is still there and they told me that they would need 1-2 hours to run diagnostics on the car to get a better idea of what the problem was. They also retorqued the subframe (whatever that means) as this is often a cause of noises after accidents. In addition, they checked underneath the car and according to them absolutely everything looks as it should. I asked if the car was safe to drive as is and he said "I can't guarantee that it is".
I decided to take the car as is and I will try another shop tomorrow to get a second opinion before forking out $160 just to have the car looked at again. Any opinions? -

lhanson Posts: 268Speaking of brakes, I am going to take my first road trip with my Yaris MT LB, so I thought that I would check all of my fluid levels. They were all fine, but I had to really look to find the brake fluid reservoir. Turns out it is back up under the windshield and dash in front of the steering wheel, not the easiest place to add brake fluid if needed. I guess that you would have to use a funnel with a flexible hose to add to it.
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,372I think I'd try the Toyota Yaris Owner Reports discussion; I bet more owners will see your tire question over there.

SpaShield Custom Spa Covers
Starting at $299.99 - Free Standard Delivery
SpaShield Hot Tub & Spa Covers are competitively priced and made from high-quality materials that will protect your investment and complement your backyard décor. Because a spa cover is best protected from the inside out, we take special interest in ensuring that our covers meet or exceed industry standards to ensure long life and maximum energy retention. From here, you can proceed to build your own custom spa cover or continue reading to learn more about the options available for your SpaShield cover.
SpaShield Models
Why is Taper Important?
The primary function of the taper is to encourage water runoff instead of letting it collect in the middle, damaging the vinyl cover and saturating the foam core. A thick taper and dense foam will maximize energy retention.
Why is Insulating Value Important?
The R-Value of a spa cover refers to the foam core's ability to resist heat loss. This rating is determined by comparing the density of the foam and the thickness of the taper against the air temperature on the cold side of the insulation at the time of testing. The higher the R-Value, the better the insulating factor of the cover. An R-Value rating of 13 is pretty standard, but they can go as high as 30.
Upgrading Your Cover
All of our spa cover models can be upgraded to 1.5# or 2.0# foam density, fitted with additional handles or tie-downs, lined with vapor barriers to prevent long-term damage, or shipped with easy-to-use cover lifts to keep your cover pristine for years to come. We also sell every cover shape in 14 different colors to match every patio or yard decor!

SpaShield Custom Spa Covers at Factory Direct Prices
At PoolSupplyWorld we pride ourselves in bringing you outstanding products for the lowest possible prices. A spa cover is a serious investment in the health and energy efficiency of your spa. A poorly made cover that saves you money upfront might last one or two years at most, but will probably also cost you a bundle in energy bills because of its poor insulating value.
High quality covers, like those sold at PoolSupplyWorld, have a much longer lifespan, are manufactured to meet and exceed industry standards, and are made of materials designed to insulate your spa, saving you money on your energy bills. What's the catch, you ask? There isn't one. Because our spa covers are well made and affordably priced, we sell enough of them to have high buying power with our manufacturer, which translates into low prices for our customers. If you're thinking we'll make up our costs by charging you huge shipping fees or selling you an expensive warranty, we assure you that kind of business practice isn't our style. We offer free shipping, regardless of the size or weight of your cover or the number of accessories you add. The non-prorated 5-year warranty for these spa covers is included in the sale. Also, our convenient on-line ordering guide makes it easy to order from home, and we always welcome you to contact our friendly and knowledgeable customer service representatives should you have any questions. If this is your first time ordering a spa cover, our spa measuring guide will walk you through the process, and it's designed to be printed out and taken with you to the back patio. We are eager to prove to you that custom spa covers from PoolSupplyWorld are the best in quality, prices, and service. We encourage you to browse through our site and then do some comparison shopping. When you're ready to place your order, we'll be here. |

What This Medication Is Prescribed For
To Ease Menopausal Symptoms
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal dryness
To Reduce the Risk of Osteoporosis and Related Fractures
How This Medication Works
- Reduce the symptoms of menopause
- Helps to slow or prevent the bone loss that occurs with aging and increases after menopause, in order to help delay osteoporosis
- Helps to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer
Precautions While Using This Medication
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding
- Pregnancy
- Liver disease
- Kidney disease
- High levels of triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood)
- History of blood clots in the veins
- History of breast or uterine cancer
- History of cardiovascular disease
- History of stroke
- many other conditions (ask your doctor if any of your medical conditions increase the risks of taking HRT)
Proper Usage and Missed Dose
- Cyclic or sequential—Pills are taken every day for a set number of days. A higher dose (than that used in continuous doses) of progestin is given for 10-14 days. One or both hormones are stopped for a specified period of time. This pattern is repeated every month, and it causes regular monthly bleeding like a light menstrual period.
- Continuous—Low-dose estrogen and progestin are taken together every day of the month without any break. Vaginal bleeding often occurs, sometimes for up to a year when this schedule is first started, and can vary from light spotting to irregular menstrual-type bleeding.
Missed Dose
- Pill form—If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
- Skin patch—If you forget to apply a new patch when you are supposed to, apply it as soon as possible. Then go back to replacing the patch on the same day of the week as before. Do not apply more than one patch at a time.

Ford Expedition Reprogramming the Remote
Someone broke into my 2000 Expedition, stole my wallet, keys etc. I have another remote here but need to Re program it.
Can anyone help?
Can anyone help?
badcobra Posts: 5Very easy!!! YOU MUST HAVE ALL OF THE REMOTES YOU WANT TO PROGRAM INTO THIS VEHICLE. First, insert the key into the ignition (must be the proper key which turns the vehicle on). Then, switch the key to on postion (all the way on where all dash lights are on pre-ignition). Turn the ignition to the off position, then back on again fast. Like revving a motocycle throttle. You will do this about 3-4 times, sometimes 5. YOU MUST END IN THE ON POSITION HOWEVER. All of a sudden, the locks will lock and unlock fast about 3 times. This means the system is in learn mode. Now, press the lock button on ALL of the remotes you want to program to that vehicle. You are done. Shut the car off and test. You can't damages anything by doing this. I am a Ford nut and have done this on Windstars, Mustangs, Expeditions, Crown Vics, and the same Mercury vehicles. It is easy and if you need my help, just say so. Good luck.
badcobra Posts: 5Hi,
You need to go to your manual and read under "Keyless Entry", then, you enter the code that comes printed on your card when you bought the truck. If you had misfortune like me, I had to remove the right front kick panel and search for the "keyless entry module" that has the code printed right on it. On my 2003 Expedition, that is how it is. On some older FORD vehicles, the code is actually printed on the tailgate on the edge somewhere (only visible if you open the gate". Either way, once you get that "master code", you enter it, and then in your manual, it tells you what key to enter first, following that, you can now enter a new (your own) code. i hope that helps. Google is always helpful too. -
smartin3 Posts: 1the new remote seemed to program ok. the lck and unlck feature started to work but the unlock doesn't disable the alarm so the car won't start. also holding the bottom rt button down three seconds used to activate the remote start now it's not working on any of the remotes. help Martin
joel0622 Posts: 3,302I have a 2001 Ford Expedition with a remote keyless entry that only works when the vehcicle is NOT running. Is there a way to program the keyless entry remote to work hile the vehicle is running.
No in 2001 that was the design. I think it may have been as late as 04 or 05 when they made them to work with the car running. -

(10-04-2012 05:00 PM)alfredoleal2001 Wrote: 1. Is Craig Biggio a first ballot HOFer? I think Biggio will get in, but not necessarily on the 1st ballot. 3000 hits, team leader etc etc. 2. Is Jeff Bagwell a HOFer? To me he was one of the most feared batters from his era, may get into the hof but never 1st ballot. 3. The only player with 3000 hits who has been on a HOF ballot and not currently made it in is Rafael Palmiero. Is he a HOFer? Do the steroid allegations end his chances? Did he even intentioanlly use? To me Palmeiro is a lock for the hof but the steroid issue takes him out of the race. If he gets in, then aroid, mcgwire etc all deserve to be in. You cant punish a few. 4. Does Bert Blyleven deserve to be in the HOF? He is already a hofer so some people who know abotu the game thought he was deserving of being there. so yes he should be a hofer. 5. Lastly, but certainly not least. Does my boy Frank Thomas deserve to be a HOFer? Of course the big hurt is a 1st ballot hofer in my humble opinion. He was probably the most feared batter in his days along with griffey. His presence at home plate was frightening!!! He is a lock for the hall.... 5. I have another, what about Omar Vizquel??? 24 seasons, just short of 3000 hits for a non offensive shortstop. Best in the game in fielding, how many is it?? 13 gold gloves??? thats insane!!! However, im not sure if he is a hofer or not. what do you think???
(10-04-2012 05:44 PM)dbroockerd Wrote: Omar? Hmmm...good one. I only mentioned guys go are on the ballot. Omar is 5 years away at least. This question no doubt arises though. Although if he gets 3000 it's a lock.

(10-04-2012 08:56 PM)nyyankeesfan28 Wrote: 1. Biggio will definitely go in within three tries. First ballot is likely, but the lack of postseason appearences could drop him to second or third ballot. 2. Bagwell is a Hall of Famer. Maybe not soon, but he'll get in at some point. His stats don't leap out at you but they are good to great which will eventually get him in. 3.Palmiero's steroid use dooms him. Whether he did or not, people think he did so he's probably out. 4. Blyleven should be in. He was only 13 wins away from the 300 win plateau. He had lots of homers and losses, but being so close to 300 wins will get him in. My guess is sometime between 2015 and 2018. 5. Thomas has to be in first ballot. Simply too good a hitter not to be. He was also doing that clean in a dirty era, which is impressive. He was as good, if not better than, the juicers, but playing steroid-free.
(10-05-2012 12:43 AM)ajcdj1012 Wrote: Okay. Here we go. Hopefully I don't hurt any feelings. 1. Biggio. A shoe in, I think. I would personally consider him a first ballot nominee, but I don't see that happening. His .281 average is modest, but maintained over 18 years, still respectable. 3060 his basically seals the deal, although, with "only" 291 homers, not a power hitter per say. Moving from catcher to second base its rather remarkable, and 7 all star appearances and 4 gold gloves are nothing to scoff at. He IS also the only player with 3000 hits, 600 doubles, 400 stolen bases and 250 hone runs. Interesting side note, he hit his 3000th hit the same day The Big Hurt hit his 500th hone run. 2. Bagwell. Here's where it gets ugly. No. Not before many, many other players. His career average of .297 is astounding, but his other numbers barely stand out at all. 1529 hits? Maybe if 500 of them were out of the park. I know, 449 is pretty darn close, but it'll also only get you CLOSE, to the Hall of Fame. 3. Palmeiro. Won't go in immediately because of the juice, but deserves it. 3020 hits, 569 home runs, 1835 RBI. If that was it, he'd be in. 4 time all star, 3 time gold glove. Sold. Also, most games played EVER with no visit to the World Series (2831). That just takes dedication and love of the game. 4. Blyleven. More hurt feelings. Just not good enough. Too late for this discussion now, but I'll still say it. Yes, 3701 strike outs, but over the course of 22 seasons! His record of 287-250? Just not good enough. 3.31 ERA, decent, respectable, but not enough to make it all worthwhile. What I consider his stand out achievement was in 1985, when he pitched damn close to 300 innings with 24 (that's not a typo, it's really 24) complete games. And now we look at Verlander like he's a marathon runner. That's intense, but it doesn't make him worthy of a Hall mod. 5. Thomas. No hurt feelings, here, just The Big Hurt. I think you only added this question to hear all the great things people had to say about your boy, because I don't think anyone would argue with him being a first ballot entry. So, instead of trying to persuade a group that is surely on my side here, I'll just spout some stats so we can all drool. Career batting average of .301, 2468 hits, 1704 RBI, 521 HE. ONLY player with SEVEN consecutive seasons with .300 BA, 100 BB, 100 Runs, 100 RBI, and 20 HR. Sound impressive? Yes. Then remember that one of those consecutive years was 1994, when Thomas played only 113 games due to the strike. That's almost one hit, one run, one RBI, AND one walk PER GAME. Oh, and pitchers feared him. So much so that he walked 1667 times. All this with no steroid stain. He better be in. Hope I didn't make anyone cry, thanks.

I would agree and be much more disturbed with Dish over this if it wasn't for the fact that there are four Rainbow Media stations - AMC, IFC, WE tv, and Sundance Channel - at issue.I can't help but feel that we should support the channels that are offering us new original programing, like AMC, A&E,USA,TNT, FX, CW, Lifetime, plus a few others. We all complain about the hanger on channels that we never watch but get shoved into a package. They are the reason we still talk about a-la-cart. AMC, whether you watch them or not, is not a hanger on but an innovator.
I'm an advocate for cleaning house - the cable channel industry and the broadcast channel industry is operating like immature 50-year-olds. They need to grow up.
For purposes of argument there are at least 3 prime time hours 7 days a week 52 weeks a year - or 1092 hours. Allowing for holidays and convenience for counting purposes, let's just call it 1,000 hours a year. AMC's innovation over the past three years has averaged 4 "innovative" shows x 13 episodes, or 52 hours, a year. Maybe there's something I missed so let's say some years they've offered 5 innovative shows or 65 hours a year. So they've allocated about 6% of their prime time to innovation.
Now what have they done with the other 21 non-prime time hours 7 days a week 52 weeks, or 7,644 hours a year? I notice that nobody here is arguing for IFC, WE tv, and Sundance Channel. I'm willing to pretend that they've all done as well innovating as AMC. So if combined, Rainbow Media has stepped up to 24% of prime time for one channel.
It seems USA has a lot of original programming. But if you combined all the NBCU-owned non-sports cable channel original programming - USA, Bravo, Chiller, Cloo, CNBC, E!, G4, Oxygen, MSNBC, Style Network, Syfy - you almost might get confused enough to think you are watching a broadcast channel because of the amount of waking hours original programming, almost.
In other words, I'm in for paying a 50¢ retransmission fee for one non-sports advertising-supported cable channel per multinational humongous media company or billionaire-owned media company, limited to 10 channels. And I'll spring for a 50¢ retransmission fee for one advertising-supported broadcast channel per multinational humongous media company or billionaire-owned media company limited to 5 channels. And I'll spring for a 50¢ retransmission fee for one local PBS station. IMHO that's enough total air time to cover the overall interests of the American public including all age groups, particularly with the nearly universal availability of DVR's.
Recognizing that 16 channels 24/7/52 just isn't enough air time, I'm an advocate for premium packages, including the ones we have now, ones for sports channels, ones for news channels, ones for other special interests, whether advertising supported or not.
The internet which includes your own web site plus the likes of Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, Hulu, YouTube, etc. now is offering sufficient innovation opportunities. Remember that it's time for TV to grow up and the internet just moved into the neighborhood.
So no, I'm not interested in paying a 15¢ retransmission fee to support a channel for basket weavers or for another endless run of old movies and/or old syndicated TV shows. If you want them, you can stream them from a number of sources.

You are hereGeorgia Bill Fails to Progress
The wording of HB 1563 resembles the "Santorum amendment" to last year's federal education bill, which was removed in conference committee. The phrasing matches the common rhetoric of such evolution opponents as intelligent design creationists. The relevant portion HB 1563 reads: Colorado School District Rejects Creationism Effort
On March 12 the board had voted unanimously to include creationism. Local residents contacted NCSE requesting information about "creation science" and the legal consequences of the board's proposal. CRSC Correction
NCSE is pleased to see that the Center for Renewal of Science and Culture (CRSC) has begun taking steps to correct the error in the article posted on its web site concerning the March 11, 2002 Ohio Board of Education meeting. Fred Hutchison claims that the papers in the CRSC bibliography delivered to the Ohio BOE were written by "intelligent design scientists." This is incorrect. The CRSC has posted an editor's comment above the article highlighting the error, but did not correct the error in the text of the article itself. CRSC Claims Papers in Bibliography are by Intelligent Design Scientists
At the Ohio Board of Education meeting held March 11th, 2002, Center for
Renewal of Science and Culture (CRSC) Director Stephen Meyer and
CRSC Senior Fellow Jonathan Wells presented the board with a bibliography
of forty four papers published in peer reviewed scientific literature.
Intelligent Design Bibliography Misleading
In a fifteen-page analysis sent earlier this week to every member of the Ohio Board of Education, the National Center for Science Education exposed the Discovery Institute's "Bibliography of Supplementary Resources for Ohio Science Instruction" as a systematic misrepresentation of the scientific literature that it cites.

Perhaps "enjoy" is too flowery a word. Instead, some take great "pride" in making good on this annual commitment. The thought came to mind because a local resident actually said it in a recent "Letter to the Editor" published by our newspaper. A few have verbalized it.
It also came to mind because Bradley County Trustee Mike Smith and his capable staff are again reaching out to county taxpayers by providing a satellite site Saturday (tomorrow morning) in which area residents may drop off their tax payment by check. The crew will set up near the Kmart entrance at Bradley Square Mall from 9 a.m. to noon.
Of course, those wishing to make their payment at the Trustee's Office in the Bradley County Courthouse downtown will also have this option Saturday. Times are the same, from 9 a.m. to noon. Those wishing to use the convenience of a Saturday are asked to remember a couple of key points.
One, only payment by check will be accepted at the Bradley Square Mall location. For those wishing to use this option, please bring along your tax statement and your check.
Two, the Trustee's Office on Saturday will accept all forms of property tax payments — cash, check or credit cards. Also, those wishing to make payments for delinquent taxes may do so at the Trustee's Office but not at the mall location.
As we have addressed in past editions of our newspaper, the Trustee's Office for several years has brought innovation, convenience and a people-friendly atmosphere to the seemingly unpleasant task of paying property taxes. Smith's team isn't doing it just with satellite sites — although this is surely a taxpayer-approved alternative. The Trustee's Office also works closely with area residents to provide the partial payment option; that is, the ever-growing practice of paying property taxes on a monthly installment plan much like people do with credit card bills, loans and other forms of incremental financing.
Our readers might remember the last announcement regarding the partial payment plan. Just a few weeks ago, the Trustee's Office exceeded 500 parcels using this system. This came after only three years. Smith's original goal had been to reach 500 in five years.
And now, the numbers keep going up. We are told the Trustee's Office has registered some 575 parcels for this tax payment option which is aiding Bradley County residents at a time when they need such support the most.
But back to those who take pride in making their property tax payments. Their reasoning is sound. Although their checkbooks take a bite, the act of paying property taxes — as explained to us — accents a feeling of belonging.
Some see it as evidence of accomplishment.
Some see it as a privilege — much like voting — because it is a valued slice of American life.
Some see it as a feeling of being "dug in" to a community, of having roots so deep that they help define hometown terms like "resident," "citizen" and "native."
Some see it as a means of contributing to a community's well-being because it pays for schools, roads, social services and progress.
Some see it as a form of self-declaration, an "I am" mindset, if you will.
Of course to many, paying taxes is a drudgery, along lines similar to having a tooth pulled.
To each his own. To each her belief.
Regardless of one's sentiments, the Bradley County Trustee's Office is again trying to add convenience to paying taxes. It's happening Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at either the Trustee's Office at the Courthouse or the Kmart entrance of Bradley Square Mall.
We commend the Trustee and his staff for again giving us options.
And besides, both locations offer opportunity for post-tax excursions — whether in the downtown shops and restaurants or the myriad of mall retailers and eateries.

Rated R for language throughout
Stars: John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Michael Lomenda, Christopher Walken
Four New Jersey guys from the wrong side of the tracks negotiate the ups and downs of success as The Four Seasons. Clint Eastwood directed this adaptation of the Broadway musical.
★ ★ ★ 1/2
Rated R for language and some bloody violence
Stars: Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scoot McNairy
Australian writer/director David Michod's follow-up to his savage 2010 crime family drama "Animal Kingdom" is a post-apocalyptic revenge saga with more than a touch of Cormac McCarthy existential despair. Not a whole lot of fun, in other words, but weirdly compelling. Ten years after an unnamed worldwide collapse, a gang of thieves make the mistake of stealing the car of a grim loner (Pearce, terrific), who tracks them relentlessly through the Outback with a wounded, half-witted former member of the gang (former "Twilight" star Pattinson) as an initially reluctant guide.

Rated PG-13 for crude sexual content including references, partial nudity, language and drug material
Stars: Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, Regina Hall, Michael Ealy, Romany Falco
The couples from "Think Like a Man" return for a wedding in Las Vegas, that's soon threatened by a battle of the sexes. Tim Story ("Ride Along") directed the comedy.
★ ★ ★
Rated PG-13 for some suggestive material and drug references
Stars: Brendan Gleeson, Taylor Kitsch, Liane Balaban
You can't give "Grand Seduction" points for originality (you've seen bits of it before in "Lone Hero," "Waking Ned Divine" and TV's "Northern Exposure," among others), or even for being entirely dramatically convincing. Fortunately, though, it features a terrific performance from Gleeson ("Mad Eye" Mooney in the "Harry Potter" movies) that makes up for those shortcomings. Realizing the future of his tiny Canadian fishing village depends on convincing a big-city doctor (Kitsch) to move there, he involves the entire town in a con job to convince him that bleak, isolated Tickle Head is "the finest place on Earth he could call home."
★ ★ ★
Rated R for language throughout, sexual content, drug material, brief nudity and some violence
Stars: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Amber Stevens
The self-referential meta-humor about its status as a repetitive, cash-in sequel gets wearisome after awhile, but this follow-up to the unexpectedly smart action comedy "21 Jump Street" still works. Mainly because it also has lots of random craziness waiting to leap out at you. Like a face-raping octopus inside a crate. After busting a high-school drug ring in the original, unlikely sidekicks Jenko and Schmidt (Tatum and Hill, still terrific together), go undercover to do the whole thing over again, as they frequently remind us, as college students.
★ ★ ★
Rated PG for adventure action and some mild rude humor
Stars: Jay Baruchel, Kristen Wiig, America Ferrera, Kit Harington
The 3D animation is dazzling, but also a tad overwhelming, and the action may be a bit too brutal for smaller kids, but this ante-upping mega-sequel still soars, mainly because it's still basically the story of a boy and his dragon. Five years after saving his Viking village in the 2010 original, the beefed-up Viking lad Hiccup (Baruchel) and his dragon Toothless set out to explore the world — and come into conflict with a dark dragon master intent on enslaving it.
★ ★ ★
Rated R for some thematic elements, violence and language
Stars: Jenny Slate, Jake Lacy, Gaby Hoffman
Not entirely a romantic comedy, a coming-of-age story or an issue-driven message movie, the unplanned-pregnancy-centered "Obvious Child" draws elements from all three with mixed results — a little funny, a little touching, very mired in hipster self-absorption. Struggling comic Donna Stern ("Saturday Night Live" alum Jenny Slate) discovers she's pregnant and decides on an abortion, but can't figure out what to do about the hopelessly unhip potential dad (Lacy) who keeps showing up.
★ ★ 1/2
Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements, violence and language
Stars: Brenton Thwaites, Olivia Cooke, Laurence Fishburne
It's pretty clear from the beginning that "The Signal" is one of those movies that's working its way toward a Mind-Blowing Twist Ending. It's just a shame that the big reveal, when it finally comes, makes everything that happened previously seem basically pointless. Thwaites (much better here than as the irrelevant Prince Charming in "Maleficent") is an MIT computer whiz matching wits with government agent Fishburne in a secret underground lab after encountering something very, very alien in the desert. Aggressively baffling sci-fi craziness ensues.

Rated R for language, some sexual references, nudity and drug use
Stars: Shep Gordon, Alice Cooper, Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone
A portrait of the legendary Hollywood manager and entrepreneur. Mike Myers directed the documentary.
★ ★ ★
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and brief suggestive material
Stars: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson
This smart, funny, wildly inventive sci-fi time-twister is a major score for the mildly self-mocking star and a return to fine form for director Doug Liman ("Bourne Identity," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith") and co-screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie ("The Usual Suspects"). After being killed moments into a disastrous battle with invading aliens, smarmy army PR guy Cruise discovers he's reliving the battle over and over and over again (a la "Groundhog Day") with the fate of mankind riding on him — and the film's true action hero, a female super soldier (Blunt, terrific).
★ ★ ★
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language
Stars: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Willem Dafoe, Laura Dern
"The only thing worse than biting it from cancer is having a kid bite it from cancer," observes the teenage protagonist of "The Fault in Our Stars," though it's worth bearing in mind that it clearly doesn't hurt in terms of selling books. Or movie tickets. This satisfactorily heart-rending adaptation of John Green's young-adult mega-seller features Woodley (quite good, as she was in last year's somewhat weepie "The Spectacular Now") as a brainy, literate, snarkily inclined 16-year-old girl in remission from terminal cancer, who meets grinning, cockily charming Gus (Elgort) at a support group and embarks on a doomed romance.
★ ★
Rated PG-13 for sexual material including nine sketches, language and some mature thematic material
Stars: Clive Owen, Juliette Binoche, Bruce Davison
There are moments in "Words and Pictures" that suggest it could have worked well as the sort of thing it looks like from a distance: an old-fashioned, Tracy and Hepburn-style, romantic-comedy battle of the sexes. Unfortunately, it's far more interested in mining personal tragedy as icy art-teacher Binoche faces off against burned-out, alcoholic English teacher Owen about which of their arts is "better." One surprising compensation: Binoche created her own paintings for the film and they're really quite good.
★ ★
Rated PG for sequences of fantasy action and violence, including frightening images
Stars: Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Sam Riley
It's disappointing to learn that in Disney's new, visually impressive but dramatically bankrupt rethink of the evil sorceress from "Sleeping Beauty," she's really not so bad after all. Not even a witch when you get right down to it. Just a fairy gone wrong. Oscar-winning production designer Robert Stromberg makes "Maleficent" look great, but that's about all, despite a fabulous performance from Jolie when she's allowed to be bad, though that's not nearly long enough.
★ ★ ★
Rated R for strong crude and sexual content, language throughout, some violence and drug material
Stars: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Silverman
It's not "Blazing Saddles" or even "Evil Roy Slade," but Seth MacFarlane's rude and raunchy old-west comedy is more clever than you might expect, now and then, and it's even funny at its stupidest thanks to an exceedingly game supporting cast. MacFarlane himself is oddly bland and hipster-inexpressive in his in-person acting debut (after playing the voice of the titular foul-mouthed teddy bear in his mega-hit "Ted") as a sheep farmer in the high-mortality-rate town of Old Stump, where he falls for the wife (Theron) of the territory's baddest outlaw (Neeson).
★ ★ 1/2
Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content
Stars: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore
The mere fact that it isn't "Grownups 3" is reason enough to view the latest Adam Sandler comedy as an improvement, but it also helps that Drew Barrymore is part of the mix. Barrymore has a way of bringing out the best in Sandler. She did it in 1998's "The Wedding Singer" and 10 years ago in "50 First Dates." And she does it here as a single mom with two boys forced to share a family vacation with widower Sandler and his three girls. Still, every time "Blended" starts to achieve a little sophistication it quickly devolves to dumb default mode.
Not reviewed
Rated R for sexual content, nudity and some language
Stars: Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix, Jeremy Renner
After immigrating to America in the 1920s, a woman (Cotillard) falls victim to a charming pimp (Phoenix) before falling in love with a stage magician (Renner). James Gray co-wrote and directed the drama.
★ ★ ★
Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi violence and action, some suggestive material, nudity and language
Stars: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Jennifer Lawrence
The superhero action is as mega-spectacular as you might expect and quite nicely handled by director Bryan Singer, returning to the franchise after 10 years. But the greatest entertainment comes from the 1970s setting, where Wolverine (Jackman) has traveled to prevent an assassination that messes up the future for man and mutant alike — think lava lamps, water beds and hairstyles that make Wolverine look right at home. As a bonus, there's also a satisfying emotional component as the aging professor Xavier (Stewart) helps his younger self (James McAvoy) make some difficult choices.
★ ★ ★ 1/2
Rated R for language, including some suggestive references
Stars: Jon Favreau, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Dustin Hoffman
After hit-and-miss results in big budget land, (hits including "Elf" and the first two "Iron Man" movies, misses such as "Cowboys and Aliens" and "Zathura"), writer/director Jon Favreau returns to his roots with this small-scale, artistically nourishing charmer. And you can almost sense his relief to be making a movie entirely devoid of special effects. Favreau also stars as an upscale LA chef who takes advantage of career disaster to start over with a food truck — rediscovering what he loved about cooking in the first place. And reconnecting with the people he loves.
★ ★ 1/2
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem and creature violence
Stars: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe
This $160 million reboot is still a big, dumb monster movie at heart, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's lots of miscellaneous human drama to wade through involving lots of not-quite-A-list stars, but the main attraction is a prehistoric-era grudge match between the big G and a couple of bad-guy monsters that look like giant dung beetles. Sure, that might sound silly, and it is, really, but the important thing is that the new "Godzilla" looks and sounds awesome. Tremendously awesome at best. Just wait until you hear this crazy reptile roar.
★ ★ 1/2
Rated PG for mild language and some suggestive content
Stars: Jon Hamm, Alan Arkin, Lake Bell, Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal
As bland, family-friendly, wholesome inspirational sports movies go, "Million Dollar Arm" has its moments. It's just a shame it winds up being about the wrong characters. Rather than telling the story of the first two major-league baseball prospects to be signed from India, "Million Dollar" is mostly about the LA superagent (Hamm) who finds them in a nationwide talent contest. And then has to learn valuable lessons about life, love and What Really Matters Most. Hint: it's not money.
★ ★ 1/2
Rated PG for thematic elements, some language and brief smoking images
Stars: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sarah Gadon, James Norton, Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson
There's a lot of fascinating historical fact in this handsomely produced, Merchant Ivory-style period drama about a mixed-race young woman (Mbatha-Raw) occupying a complicated place in the family of an English lord (Wilkinson) famous for judicial decisions damaging to the 18th-century slave trade. Unfortunately, "Belle" ultimately disappoints by developing into a bogus romance, while simultaneously attempting to resolve the issue of slavery. Amma Asante ("A Way of Life") directed the historical drama.

Interim Bradley County Fire-Rescue Chief Troy Spence is 'wrapping' up last minute details including correct GIS mapping and final touches before the stations go into full service.
A ribbon cutting is planned for Friday at 10 a.m., at Hopewell Fire Station No. 13.
An open house is planned afterward and on Saturday.
"We want the communities which have these new fire stations which have been built with safe rooms, to come visit during the open house weekend," said Spence.
According to Spence, the Hopewell, Park View and Waterville stations have safe rooms built in for the community's residents in case of weather emergency.
The other stations are also on the open house schedule, including Station No. 8 at Inman Street (Main Station) and the Tasso location.
The paid and volunteer fire department will assume responsibility of county fire protection outside the city limits including what was, after July 1, the so-called "fringe" area covered by the Cleveland Fire Department.
The three new fire stations have the safe rooms, which are built to withstand 200 mph winds and are in accordance with FEMA guidelines.
According to Spence, several hundred people can be housed in each community safe room during weather emergencies.
Twisters of April 2011 and March 2012 prompted the Cleveland-Bradley County Emergency Management Agency to seek ways to improve community safety. Safe rooms were one answer along with improved communications and notification of impending weather events.
Spence is the director of CBCEMA and recently stepped in as interim fire chief at BCFR.
"The process of staffing and equipping the new fire stations began several months ago and is almost complete," according to Dan Howell of the Bradley County Mayor's Office. "In July of 2012 Bradley County had 26 paid firefighters. Fifteen were hired in March and 14 finished their fire academy training and graduated on Sunday, April 14. This class brings the total number of full-time firefighters to 67 and completes the number needed to staff the BCFR expansion.
"The new firefighters have undergone a rigorous hiring process. Each one must complete a written test, physical agility test, psychological test, drug screening, panel interviews and then complete 460 hours of training in Firefighter School.
"An additional two weeks of classes are required for fire truck drivers. The full-time, paid firefighters are backed up by 74 volunteers who must complete the same training as the full-time staff. These volunteers play a vital role in the overall fire protection in Bradley County," Howell said.
For additional information regarding the open house or ribbon-cutting events, contact BCFR at 728-7293.

"Imagine if we did something different." Those were just six words out of close to 7,000 that President Barack Obama spoke during his State of the Union address. He was addressing both houses of Congress, which are controlled by his bitter foes. Most importantly, though, he was addressing the country. From whose lives has the shadow of crisis passed? And for whom is this Union strong?
