I bought a house last summer with a plum tree and two apple trees on the property. My plum bloomed beautifully this spring and has set fruit. When do the apple trees bloom, and when do I need to spray them. They were way too wormy to eat last year. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bloom time depends on various factors like where you live, including your local microclimate, as well as the particular variety of apple that you have, how much water and sun the tree gets, etc. That being said, here in Wisconsin, you can expect your apple trees to bloom sometime in late May, plus or minus a few weeks. You did not say that your apples bloomed or set fruit this year. If they didn't, I'm not surprised at all, because of the very unusual weather we had in March and April this year -- very warm followed by very cold. A lot of fruit crops nationwide are suffering this year as a result -- the blooms either died, or failed to develop, or had no bees to pollinate them. I have three young trees and I have a grand total of 3 apples. Three years after planting, I expected a reasonable crop this year, but the strange weather, in addition to my regular pruning, prevented much blossom at all this year. I think next year will be a huge crop nationwide, assuming the weather plays nice next spring. As for spraying, I honestly have no experience, and I am trying to grow my apples as organically as possible. However based on everything I have read, there are various sprays that can be applied for all different purposes, but the ones for bugs and beetles often seem to be applied either immediately prior to bloom, or just after bloom when all the petals fall off and before the apples get beyond about marble size. So those one or two points in spring at bloom time might honestly be good enough for what I've experienced here in Wisconsin. I had some woolly aphids this spring and I was able to squish them all by hand since my trees are dwarfs and still fairly small (6 to 8 feet high). Other than that, I had some fly speck (I think that's what it's called!?) that killed one apple, but I haven't had any trouble with my other apples yet. You can spray maybe once or twice more in summer, but as it gets closer to harvest time, well, I guess I really don't know if it will be necessary. One thing I do not doubt -- some people will say you definitely need to spray, and some people will say you definitely do NOT need to. So do a bit of research on the interwebs or whatever, and then do whatever you think is best for what you want to get out of your harvest. Best of luck to you -- if not this year, then in 2013! |

Mysql number problem
Hello, im having a small but very annoying problem.
when i enter a number into my database: e.g. 087431122
when it is entered into the db the 0 is cut off and looks ike 87431122. Same occurs when i am selecting the number from the db the 0 is cut off.
any help would be great.

If the column you are storing it in is defined as a numeric column, INT, SMALLINT, BIGINT etc that is to be expected since a leading zero has no significance. If you need it stored without alteration you could use a VARCHAR or TEXT type of column to store it.

Mmm, I would disagree with storing your numbers as varchar or char. Sure, you get your leading zeros, but you lose the ability to perform column functions such as sum, average, min, and max, and sorting can become problematic. Also, validation become an issue, as the column now accepts non-numeric data which may break applications and cause grief down the road.
Instead, you can force leading zeros using the repeat() function.
Code:SELECT REPEAT('0', 10 - LENGTH(RTRIM( CAST(numeric_column AS CHAR(10)) ))) || RTRIM(CAST(numeric_column AS CHAR(10))) AS column_with_leading_zeros FROM table_name
Hmmm...let's see...phone numbers. social security numbers. They *CAN* be stored as numbers (because they don't have leading zeroes) but traditionally aren't.I would disagree with storing your numbers as varchar or char. Sure, you get your leading zeros, but you lose the ability to perform column functions such as sum, average, min, and max, and sorting can become problematic
The reason they work fine as text: Because by nature we do *NOT* do SUM or AVERAGE or MIN or MAX or ORDER BY on such "numbers". There is is no natural "sequence" to such identifiers.
So... I think it's a bit too strong to say that numbers should never be stored as TEXT.
So if the original poster has (say) a product code that is *ALWAYS* exactly 9 digits long and his 087431122 was just one example...well, maybe text really is the best choice.
Don't get me wrong; 90% or more of the time I would choose to use a numeric field, as Fumigator suggested, but clearly not 100% of the time.

"Permission plays a vital role in everyday life, without permission we cannot achieve work in a swift manner. Thus understanding permission is a crucial task and one should be well adept with the rules of the permission. Today we unravel various aspects of the permission that has been implemented in the *Unix subsystem".
Every operating system handle files and directories uniquely. The security of the system depends on many factors however the most important aspect is the way how an OS handles file. Window or NT based OS treats all files equally, which may lead to security holes and unwanted vulnerabilities for hackers to exploit. Due to which Windows has always been a hackers delight. Contrary to Windows, Unix based system or Linux handles files in a much sophisticated manner, special set of rules has been defined for better and efficient file handling.
Unlike Windows, Linux has varied log-in scenario and many users can log-in and use the system at once. Thus it is very necessary for everyone to bypass the security by entering the valid login id and password so that they can access the bread of their share. So it is very necessary for the system to preserve the space and share so that users don't goof up with other users data. To ensure a smooth functionality, every user has been provided with his her home folder under /home/<user_name>/. A place where system provides permission so that only the user can access and share files and others cannot mess around.
Permission setup might be time consuming and perpetual. But its one of the most efficient way to manage data. You must be thinking about why get into so much trouble of setting permission. But through efficient permission scenario one can make sharing easy and lucid. With multiple users you can easily assign a common access point for file sharing thus taking away the hectic job of making files available through any other sharing program or the likes.
So in order to understand the permission scenario and to develop a common permission set of rule one must understand how things work in linux. Linux permission is usually segregated into three categories.
1. File Owner
2. Group Member
3. Access Permission.
Every file has an owner. Once you create a file it is assigned an owner. Generally the user that creates the file is the default owner of the file, however this can be changed using permission and user scenario in linux. A file can have only one owner, not more than one owner is allowed. A bunch of users form a group. So similar or known users can be clubbed together under a group.
The next and the most crucial part of the permission scenario is the access permission. Access permission is further segregated into three part.
√ Read
√ Write
√ Execute
Read means a user can read the file, read here means only read or viewing and no other operations can be performed on that particular file. Write on the other hand means we can only write to that file. With only write permission applicable a user can only "write" to the file and cannot even see the content. Sounds weird ain't it ? We will look into this part later down the article.
Execute means run a file with execute permission. Each file has some predefined sets of permission, and these can be viewed by 'ls -l' command. The ls or List command simply displays the data in a directory. Since Linux treat directory as a file it also displays the directories. A simple ls -l (long listing) under a directory will show up lots of boggling data. But its very easy to make out once you get permission thing under your belt.
[shashwat@localhost ~]$ ls -l
total 117240
-rw-rw-r-- 1 shashwat shashwat 273089 Dec 23 17:12 AMD_fusion_Whitepaper.pdf
drwxrwxr-x. 4 shashwat shashwat 4096 Dec 24 19:53 Code
From the above example the first field denoted by '–' represents the file type indicator. A file can be of many types say a normal file, a directory file, link file and many more. Depending on the type of file the notation changes in the first field. A simple – or s represents a normal file, while d stands for directory.
Taking the first line in consideration, the next three field after file type field i.e. rw- indicates the access control for the owner of the file. The next three i.e. rw- indicates the access control for the group. The last three field indicates access permission for other users that are not even owner nor a part of the group.
The next in the output shows the number of links associated with a file. The 1 in the first lines shows that the file has only one accessible link. The 4 in the second line represents that there are 4 links associated with it. Generally a blank directory has 2 link. One is the link for the current directory and the other for the parent directory. The number of link increase as you increase the content of a directory.
The next two field indicates owner and group of the file. In case of the output both are shashwat. This means shashwat is the owner and the group owner/member of the file. The rest syntax indicates file size in bytes. The next is the time stamp, note that time stamp changes the instance you make any change with the file, it includes reading, writing or modifying. However ls -l will only list time stamp of modifying. More time stamp details can be seen by using stat command.
The Last field indicate the name of the file.
That sums the basic terminology associated with the ls -l command. Once we got the basic terminology under our belt its time for us to play with the permission in linux. There are many ways to play with the permission i.e. the GUI and the CLI mode.
Changing Permission via GUI: Changing permission in GUI is almost the same in various desktop environment be it the KDE , Gnome or XFCE. To change the permission open the file manager i.e. Dolphin/Konqueror in KDE, Nautilus in Gnome and Thunar in XFCE. Once done navigate to the file that you want to have different sets of permission, right click the file and then select properties. Under Permission Tab change the permission as you want to.
Note: Before changing permission you must have the desired previlidges to write the permission. Else you cannot make changes. In-order to change permission you can open the desired file manger through superuser mode via kdesu or gksu command followed by the file manager name.
Changing Permission via CLI : CLI has always been the usability turf. If you know your way around CLI is the best bet, same goes for changing permission. Changing permission in linux can be achieved perfectly through CLI or in fact CLI should be the preferred way to change a file/directory permission.
To change permission in linux through command line is by using 'chmod' command. To change permission through chmod simply run the command over a directory or a file with requisite parameters to get the desired result. The general way to put a chmod command is like
chmod <parameters> <directory/file path>
Changing permission in chmod can be achieved through ways, by passing alphabetical parameters or through numerical parameters. We will look them one by one.
Alphabetical Parameter : – Fairly easy to grasp, this way requires a user to understand few things before changing permission. The variable needed to understand are: -
Once we get the basic thing we are all good to go. Now to change permission in a directory or a file via chmod alphabetical parameter we apply the commands in these ways.
chmod a+rwx /grub/menu.lst
The above is a basic example of changing permission through alphabetical parameters. Now 'a' stands for all and + stands for addition. So from the above command we can conclude that the owner of the file i.e. root in this case wish to grant access of read (r), write (w) and execute (x) to all the possible users in the system.
Similarly we can reduce the permission using the above method.
chmod og-rw /media/sdb1
The above combines the user level and removes the access of read and write from other and group level. Likewise we can come up with various combination of alphabetical ways to change permission.
- Numerical Parameters : – Though the end result is same , getting numerical way to change the permission comes handy even though it might be not your cup of tea. Since getting through numbers is not human tendency. Anyway since there is a way we had to just look into it. Numerical way works exactly similar to that of alphabetical way..
Since the ls -l output show a total of 9 field for permission minus the file type indicator field. From the nine field each 3 field is for read (r), write (w), and execute (x). So here is a table that shows up what is the numerical equivalent for alphabetical counterpart, for the general 3 fields i.e. rwx.
The above represents value for only 3 bit of the permission field however there are nine bits. So those octal digits can be combined to provide the permission is the following way
chmod 777 /boot/grub.conf
The above is similar to a+rwx that we used in the examples of Alphabetical chomd expression. Some alphabetical representation in numerical are shown in the following table.
Similarly other possible combinations can be made out by carrying out simple octal conversion.
Special Permission: – Apart from normal permission Linux cater to some instances that require special permission. SetUID/GID and Sticky Bit are the other two permission that are available for use. However it is advised not to use these permission on files that you are not sure. Cause undue usage can lead your system to vulnerabilities. Thus avoid these permission on files owned by root.
SetUID/GID bits allow any user to run a file which has been assigned the SetUID/GID bit with the owners privileges. A wrong permission can bring the system down so be careful with the SetUID/GID bit. To attach this special permission to an executable use the following command
chmod a+s filename
A file with a setuid/gid bit set will show different variables in the permission field when viewed by ls -l command.
[shashwat@localhost minitunes]$ ls -l minitunes
-rwsr-xr-x 1 shashwat shashwat 852329 Jul 13 16:03 minitunes
[shashwat@localhost minitunes]$
Notice above instead of x (executable) now it shows s, which represent that the following executable file has been assigned a special bit.
Stickybit on the other hand are more worthy than SetUID/GID bits. When applied on a directory/file it ensures that no one can tamper with the data other than the owner of the directory/file. To apply sticky bit permission use the following command :-
chmod +t /home/code
Similar to SetUID/GID bits, ls -l differ when applied on a file or directory.
[shashwat@localhost ~]$ ls -ld Code/
drwxrwxr-t. 4 shashwat shashwat 4096 Dec 24 19:53 Code/
[shashwat@localhost ~]$
Here t represent that the said directory has sticky bit applied so no other user can tamper with data inside the directory.
Umask: These are special set of rules that restricts the user to apply full permission. Once you create a file umask restrict the system to allow complete permission for the desired file. Umask defines the effective permission of system by deducting 022 value from the permission of the system.
Effective Permission = Applicable Permission – Umask
By default the value of umask is 022 . So if you create a file with 777 permission the aplicable permission will be 755.
Owner / Group : – When you create a file you are the owner of the file, and by default the user has the group similar to its name. So you are the owner and group owner of the file that you create. A user can be a member of many group but can have a owner of only one group. Inorder to assign multiple group we use:-
chmod -G group1,group2
The above adds additional groups to the users group, and makes it a member of other available group. We can change the group owner ship by using -g handler. But in this case there can be only one group. Cause only one user can be an owner of a particular group.
To change the owner ship and group from a file we use chown and chgrp command.
To change ownership of a file / directory we use commands as stated : -
chown <user_name> <file_directory path>
For example chown lfy /opt/abc.txt will change the owner ship of abc.txt file to lfy. In order to change group we use chgrp in similar way we use chown.
chgrp lfy ~/abc.txt
However we can change ownership and group owner ship using the chown command only. Inorder to achieve this simply follow the below syntax.
chown <username>.<group_name> <file_path>
For example chown shashwat.lfy ~/Code will change the owner to shashwat and group owner to lfy for the said file/directory.
Conclusion: Permission plays a vital role in maintaining the security of the system. A sound knowledge of the permission can help you design the security of the system in a better and efficient way. Though permission forms the very basic part of the system, yet these fundamental security blocks can let you create a stupendous system shield that not only lets you secure your data but allow others to manoeuvre them easily. What we have covered in the article is only the tip of ice berg, with advance permission and control lists we can have much enhanced security framework. So inorder to make things more secure keep diggin the resources and create an enhanced permission layout.

Any/All on Form Rules
Submitted by Art Huston (not verified) on Fri, 05/06/2011 - 09:43.
To improve data editing and display, please add the Any/All functionality to form rules. Without it, complex tests may require adding calculated field(s) to determine if a field is valid or should be displayed. Not only does this clutter the database, but the form rules do not seem to work unless the calculated field is in the form, so it increases the time to display each record, even if you apply logic to 'hide' the calculated field.
The form should also be fixed so that rules work using fields not displayed on the form. I'm making this a separate post.

Shire HGT Wins Gold in Fifth Annual Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Award
Shire Human Genetic Therapies (HGT) today was recognized by the Massachusetts Alliance for Economic Development as a gold medal winner at MAED's Fifth Annual Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Awards.
The winning companies were selected based on their attributes in the categories of job growth, facility expansion, investment, and community involvement since January 1, 2007.
Jerry Sargent, Executive Vice President from Citizens Bank and Alliance Chair said, "The Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Awards allows us to honor companies not only at a state level, but those that are making waves worldwide. The winning companies all strengthen the bedrock of the Commonwealth as a prominent location for businesses' expansion."
Shire HGT was selected by MAED for its decision to invest $394 million to expand the company's Lexington campus, making it the global center for Shire HGT's research, development and production. The decision to expand in Massachusetts will result in the retention of 825 existing full-time employees and the creation of an estimated 680 full-time jobs over eight years, 200 of which have already been hired this year.
"We are honored to receive this award," said Sylvie Grégoire, President of Shire HGT. "Shire has made a commitment to Lexington and to the Commonwealth, and to have our efforts and hard work recognized in this way is very gratifying for our company and our employees."
Grégoire continued, "We are committed to a long-term partnership between Shire HGT, Lexington and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that will expand jobs, spur further economic development, and allow our company to continue to develop and produce complex therapies for those in need around the globe."
Governor Deval Patrick delivered the keynote address at the awards luncheon. This is the only event of its kind in Massachusetts, honoring a select group of companies from across the Commonwealth who were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Massachusetts economy. More than 450 guests attended the event.
The Massachusetts Alliance for Economic Development is a private, non-profit partnership of business, industry leaders, and government dedicated to fostering economic growth in the Commonwealth.
Shire HGT specializes in discovering, developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of genetic and rare diseases. The company was established in 2005 through the acquisition of Cambridge MA - based Transkaryotic Therapies. Shire HGT has a robust pipeline of products, and has launched ELAPRASE for the treatment of Hunter syndrome in the U.S., Europe, and Canada, among other regions. In addition, REPLAGAL, for the treatment of Fabry disease, which is available in Europe and other regions outside of the US, continues to perform well, and FIRAZYR, for the treatment of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) was launched this Fall in Europe.
Shire's strategic goal is to become the leading specialty biopharmaceutical company that focuses on meeting the needs of the specialist physician. Shire focuses its business on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), human genetic therapies (HGT) and gastrointestinal (GI) diseases as well as opportunities in other therapeutic areas to the extent they arise through acquisitions. Shire's in-licensing, merger and acquisition efforts are focused on products in specialist markets with strong intellectual property protection and global rights. Shire believes that a carefully selected and balanced portfolio of products with strategically aligned and relatively small-scale sales forces will deliver strong results.

Know someone who is selfless or heroic in his or her service to others?
Now is the time to show appreciation by nominating them for American Red Cross of Southeast Tennessee 2014 Hometown Heroes recognition.
Julia Wright, Red Cross community development manager, said the award is open to anyone in the 11 counties of Southeast Tennessee, and expects the contest to have nominations from each of them.
"We are looking to expand that into some of the more rural areas to give them the opportunity to nominate people from those communities as well, because we know there are some really compelling stories in some of our smaller communities. We would love to be able to recognize people in those areas as well," Wright said.
Wright said the nominations could stem from a single event or outline a person's continued commitment to serving others.
"Every day, ordinary people make extraordinary contributions by putting their needs aside to help others in our community. Many of these people go unrecognized for their courageous acts. Now is your chance to honor them," the nomination information states.
Nominations can be made in seven categories, including role model, youth, military, rescue, first responder, community or medical.
"We would just encourage folks in the community to think about the folks they know who are heroic and take this opportunity to recognize them in a big way. We would like to see that from all the communities because we know they are in every community," Wright said. "We kept the categories broad on purpose, because we want to have a variety of people who are nominated, and different types of stories."
Nominators are asked to give the name, address and phone number of the person they are nominating as a Hometown Hero.
Wright said each submission should also includes "a story about why they are being nominated."
Nomination forms can be found at http://www.redcross .org/news/event/2014-Hometown-Heroes-Luncheon or by stopping by a Red Cross office. The Cleveland Service Center is located at 3856 Candies Creek Lane N.W.
The deadline to submit a nomination is April 1.
A committee of Red Cross volunteers will select the winners.
A Hometown Hero in each of seven categories will be recognized at a luncheon on May 14 at 11:30 a.m. The event will be held at the Chattanoogan Hotel. Former Tennessee Vols coach Phil Fulmer will be the guest speaker.
The event also serves as a fundraiser for the American Red Cross of Southeast Tennessee.
Tickets are $75 each or $125 each for VIP tickets. Tables of 10 are also available for $750 or $1,000 for VIP Tables. VIP tickets include met and greet with the guest speaker, autograph and photo opportunities during a VIP session.
Sponsorship packages are available and start at $1,000. For tickets contact Sandra Kilgore at 423-265-3455 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Tickets can also be purchased at http://www.redcross.org/news/event/2014-Hometown-Heroes-Luncheon.

My 6 year old tiled shower has a leak and needs to be totally gutted, and no one knows how much damage has been done under this leak until it is ripped out. . I am struglgling with finding a contractor to handle this major job. I want to be able to purchase the tile myself. I enjoy shopping and I know how to find a deal. However, it seems that the contractors that I have met either are affilated with a store and want me to buy the tile from their store, which has a very limited selection and will mean ordering tile which i know will cost more. however, they have a patented system that they use to install showers and they will warrantee the work. Or I could go with an independent contractor that will let me provide the tile, but doesn't seem to have much of a support system to handle contingencies. any recommendations about this? I hate to be limited in my tile selection, but I live in a small town. I had to settle for builders grade tile when i had this house built and the shower has to be redone 6 years later. I want to be satisfied this time. |

Tile is the decorative jewelry on top of the actual waterproofing system. Don't worry about it so much as how the contractor plans to build the shower to be waterproof under that tile. Educate yourself on that before you start to get bids. There are various methods, but all will start with a presloped site made mortar shower pan or pre manufactured sloped pan that is put into place. Be sure you understand the differences in construction methods with both, and you'll be able to evaluate the abilities of any of the contractors that you interview. The failure of the waterproofing is why you have a 6 year old shower that needs to be rebuilt. Not to say that the decorative choices aren't important, especially to creating an attractive appearance. Just that they are secondary to stuff behind the walls. Once you find a contractor that talks the talk about proper waterproofing, if he prefers that you shop at a local tile store for your choices, then just talk to him about supplying tiles that you prefer in consultation with him as to the suitability of your selections. The reason tile installers want to work with a known element is that they fully understand it's installation requirements and how long it will take. If you want to introduce elements of the unknown into both of those job factors, you will probably pay more than "just" the material cost differences to account for the research that the tile pro will need to do, as well as the longer time frame for the install to happen. In contractor land, time is money, and when you increase the time factor, the money has to also increase. |

What holly said. The tile isn't part of their "patented system," whatever that happens to be. Find out what products and methods they use behind the tile and research to make sure their proposed products and methods are good ones. And tell them you don't like their store's tile selection and want to use something else. They should be willing to work with you. Independents can be just as good as tile store-linked installers. And store installers are no guarantee of good work. Just ask them both questions about method of install and do the same due diligence. |
You've gotten good advice so far. I don't think I'll add anything new, but I'll write anyway... lol The type of tile used had nothing to do with any "patented system." It's your shower, Get the tile you want, from where you want to get it. I could see if you went to a tile store and the tile store recommended an installer to you, and you then hired that installer. The installer might be hesitant about the tile store not making the sale. But if you found an installer yourself, and you hired him, and he agreed to the job, guess who he's working for? You. Not the tile store. Even if he is "affiliated" with a tile store, you hired him, not the store. For the life of me I'm trying to put "patented system" in some sort of context. All I can think of is some sort of patented gimmick for making a preslope. When you talk to the prospective installer, do ask what type of membrane will be installed on the shower floor, and make sure that the membrane itself will be sloped to the drain. The membrane can not sit flat on the subfloor with sloped mud and sloped tile on top of it. the membrane itself needs to be sloped. Good luck. Remember. It's your money. You set the tone. These folk can work for you. Or they can work elsewhere. |

Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka
Karla Movie Review
By Katherine Ramsland
It was a daring thing to do, but writer and director Joel Bender made a true-crime drama based on the infamous story of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Karla was quite controversial when released in Canada in 2006, and some groups even tried to block it. They were unsuccessful. Now it's available on DVD.
The context is Karla's preparation for a parole hearing eight years into her sentence. She's forced to tell a psychiatrist (Patrick Bauchau) her sordid tale and to explain herself, although she fails to adequately provide her motivation. She likes to fall back on, "You don't understand," whether it's to Dr. Arnold or to a victim about to die. It seems that she truly believes her situation is unique. It's not. She's just another person telling herself one lie after another to maintain her own self-interest.
Misha Collins plays Paul, with Laura Prepon as Karla. Both do well with their roles, and given Collins' ability to use male beauty to overlay the true evil of Bernardo's thoughts and behaviors, at times we're convinced that Karla might resort to anything to keep him.
The film adopts Karla's point of view throughout, and if you believe the performance you'll regard Karla as the prototypical battered wife and compliant accomplice. This can get annoying for anyone familiar with the facts, but in the end it's made clear that her story is pretty much a self-serving "reorganization" of what happened: she never apologized to victims' families, never expressed public remorse, and seemed as narcissistic upon her release as she'd ever been. In fact, she readily got involved with another murderer. One would think that had she actually come to her senses once she was free of the alleged spell cast by Paul Bernardo, she'd see how terrible murder was. But, no, she seems able to dismiss murder committed by someone else if she desires him.
What's missing in this film is how Karla had studied the battered woman syndrome before acting the role for court-appointed psychiatrists, as well as material about her life at Club Fed, as the prison was called. Her picnics and fashion shows might have undermined her "poor me" tale. Her BA degree in psychology is interesting, too, considering how little insight she appears to have about her years with Bernardo.
Even during the too-brief trial scene, a telling point was left out. As Bernardo tries to pin the three murders on Karla, claiming she was jealous of his attention to the girls, it was said that the bruises on the backs of the two strangled girls were closer in size to her knees than his. While this suggestion had no impact on the outcome of the case, it might have been worthwhile to state it.
In addition to the film, the DVD offers deleted scenes that contain important information about what these two did, along with three lackluster bonus features that add more facts.
Over all, the film follows the case closely, as per court records and true crime accounts, and provides viewers with a glimpse of the way a psychopathic rapist can pass as a clean-cut, beloved pretty boy. While Collins, like Bernardo, is quite attractive, he gradually loses his appeal to all but Karla, and her insistence on staying with him and helping to rape and kill shows her for what she is.
"I'm not a psychopath," she tells the evaluating psychiatrist, as if he'd believe that a psychopath would truthfully admit it while hoping to get his vote of confidence. Indeed, as she says it, she uses classic female maneuvers to win sympathy. Her lack of remorse or insight, her ability to move on quickly (she has sex with a stranger soon after she leaves Paul), her easy lies, and her near-deadpan emotions over the murders indicate a different tale than the one she's telling.
The film is worth seeing, if only to learn about the dynamic between two narcissistic people who freely violate others and treat people as pawns in their game — even Karla's own sister. If anyone believes she was truly a battered wife who had no choice but to participate, they aren't watching closely.

Nov 2, 2012This movie was a fantastic depiction of the lives and coalescence of many nostalgic video games dating back as far as 1981 (Qix), and as recent as today (Sonic, Bowser, etc.). This makes the film recognizable to the rounded ages of four to forty, given times of development. Go see it.

Nov 2, 2012I'm a 18 year old dude who only plays Call of Duty and Madden and I loved all the old arcade references in this movie. Despite a slow segment in the start, the film has a bunch of heart, laughs and a decent twist. Much like Shrek with fairy tales, this may be the start of a new franchise with classic characters and new worlds. Great for both kids and adults.

Nov 23, 2012Wreck-It Ralph is not Toy Story but the experience was the same. Video game references, colorful soundtrack and heartwarming story. Damn, it's one of the best animation this year.
Nov 4, 2012Cool and retro. Nice gags and has a great message. Not the best but very good. Why do they make so many wonderful animated movies these days but cannot get live action to get this good vibe to them. Wait for the end of the credits to see the Disney kill screen!

Oct 26, 2014this is the ultimate gamers movie. it pays the greatest respect to the games it's referencing and uses it's arcade setting in amazing ways
i love the story and characters especially Ralph in which john c riley gives one of his best performances and Vanellope who is expertly played by sarah silverman
seriously go and see this movie you won't regret it -
Jun 4, 2013"Wreck It Ralph is a wonderfully delight, pure imaginative treat. That has set a new bar for Disney films everywhere including PIXAR. It has tons of heart and humor, Without a doubt the best animated film of the year. Maybe even quite possibly a classic." A+
Feb 12, 2013When I saw the trailer for Wreck-It Ralph last year, it didn't excite me too much. Still, I thought I would give it a shot. I am long time gamer after-all. I didn't expect to watch a great nostalgic and heartfelt film. It is my favorite animated film since Toy Story 3.

Jan 4, 2013Hilarious, flawlessly made and great entertainment for all viewers. Wreck-it Ralph will please both gamers and film goers alike with its utterly beautiful and brilliant execution and will keep both the young and the old constantly entertained.
Feb 3, 2013Wreck-It-Ralph is hilarious, smart, heartwarming, and manages to bring you into a fantastic world. It features great voice acting and clever jokes for all ages. I give this film 96%.
Nov 4, 2012
Apr 21, 2013I originally had this rated a 7; after watching it again a few times, it's really grown on me. The film works well, delivering comedy for both parents and children. A tad predictable, but what Disney move isn't? All in all, one of the better family films to come out in last few years.
Nov 4, 2012
Nov 3, 2012anyone around the age of 10 to 30 years old will enjoy this movie. Even though it has it's childish jokes, there are some references to some retro games that are just AMAZING, I was laughing for so long and never actually thought anyone would do something like it.
May not be a masterpiece, but it's a damn fine movie wort watching if you're a gamer -
Jan 23, 2013
Mar 24, 2013Nicest video-game movie ever made. Just don't forget it's a kids movie.All nods to classic games are fantastic, still, the story stands on it's own. Get your kids to it!
Feb 5, 2013Wreck It-Ralph is one of the best animated movies I have seen, the movie is heartwarming. The story is about Ralph who is on a journey of self discovery. It's a beautiful movie with meaning and a strong message that really makes you think about the importance of being able to accept yourself, who you are and what you do.
Apr 19, 2013It has been a long time since Disney has produced something this great of a masterpiece; with an audience suited for anyone, beautiful animation, characters the audiences can relate to, emotional voice acting, a twist that actually surprised me and to top it all video game references that were actually relevant to the story. This film deserves all of the 'wreck-ognition' it has achieved.

Jun 25, 2013In a year were movies like the avengers and the dark knight and the always present competition of Pixar, it would be crazy to consider an non-pixar animated film one of the best movies of the year. Well, it would have be crazy if not for Wreck it Ralph! It is easily the best animated film of the year and one of my all time favorites from Disney.

There was never a point in the movie where i felt bored, it was pretty funny and it had a heart-touching story line!! I SERIOUSLY recommend for people of all ages to watch this movie.
Feb 5, 2014
Mar 9, 2013Far more than just a loving homage to old school video games, Wreck-It Ralph is a joyous, funny, smart and touching story about being comfortable in your own skin. It's lesson may be older than the numerous video games that are referenced throughout, but it is a lesson that still resonates and is worth repeating.
Jan 30, 2013
Nov 5, 2012Who knew Sarah Silverman could be so cute? I thought Ralph was voiced by Seth Rogen at first but John Reilly does great. Jane Lynch delivers too in a subplot that got the younger viewers barfing. The conversation between Vanellope and Ralph about Hero's Duty got me spitting pop and popcorn. And it wouldn't be a Disney movie without a little tear-jerker of a message. The kids will love it.

Mar 1, 2013A really fun movie to watch, with a good story behind it. But, I wish they did 2 things differently. 1. Make the character animations stick to their 8 bit or 16 bit origins. 2. There was not enough reference to old and current video games.

Feb 13, 2013Oh oh Pixar...what's going on? While Brave is a bravura technical achievement, its conventional narrative made it felt pedestrian. Wreck-It Ralph ends up being the best animated film of the year. It's creative, fun and heart warming. And for a retro gamer like me, it's a great treat to see all the old game characters of arcade yore making their cameos. Great stuff!

Mar 30, 2013As an old gamer, I really liked the respect this movie payed to all forgotten games out there So, if you know what Qbert is, go see the movie without further delay As for me, I have to remember where my ZX Spectrum is
Feb 25, 2013i love this movie, it has a great range of funny emotional scenes. A great family movie starring Jane Lynch, and John C. Reilly.
Mar 8, 2014This is a clever, entertaining video-game based movie. It's also funny, touching, and I had a lot of fun with this film. What I would have liked to have seen more were characters based of from video games in reality. But other than that, this movie was just great.
Jan 11, 2013Creativity is key in Wreck-It Ralph; Disney
Feb 19, 2013Best movie I saw in 2012. As a game villain Ralph is tired of being treated poorly, so on a bet he make an attempt at getting a coveted hero's medal. A story of trust and friendship, the video game landscape doesn't hurt the movie at all.
Nov 7, 2012I Loved This Movie! Possibly The Best Animated Movie Of 2012! Very Creative, Never A Dull Moment!
Love The Video-Game Style! -
Aug 24, 2014I didn't watch cartoons for a long time, but oh am I glad I got myself to watch this one. Mostly funny jokes, good soundtrack, LOTS of cameos and homages to different video game characters, and the absolutely adorable Vanellope all make up an extremely solid cartoon which you must not miss.

You know how there are certain foods that are totally worth the effort to make from scratch? Enter hummus. There's nothing wrong with supermarket hummus, really. It's just that homemade is so much better, and a whole lot cheaper. The kind you make at home is creamier, thicker, and you have total control over the salt/garlic/spice levels. As long as you own a food processor, it's easy to whip up a batch. Hummus is traditionally used as a dip or spread, but I've seen it used in recipes for pasta sauces, pizza toppings, salad dressings, deviled egg fillings, veggie burgers, baked potato toppings… the list goes on. It's pretty versatile stuff, and healthy to boot!
I usually make mine with cooked dried garbanzo beans because I find the texture to be superior to the canned variety. Canned beans will do in a pinch, just in case you don't have the time (or desire) to prepare dried garbanzos. Just promise me you'll make them from scratch one rainy weekend – you'll quickly see why it's worth the extra-extra time and effort.
A few notes:
-This recipe makes a lot of hummus, so cut the measurements in half if you prefer a smaller batch.
-Don't like chipotle pepper? Leave it out for plain, classic hummus.
Makes approximately 3 cups
- 2 cups of cooked garbanzo beans/chickpeas (if making from scratch, 1 cup of dried beans will yield 2 cooked cups)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Juice of 1 large lemon (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons tahini
- 3 chipotle peppers (canned in adobo sauce)
- 2 Tablespoons of the reserved adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 cup of water (or reserved cooking water, if you've made the beans from scratch)

1. The Rebels were always supposed to be attacking the Death Star in Episode IV's climactic battle scene. But the concept of the battle station simultaneously being en route to blow up Yavin's fourth moon came in the editing room. ''That made all the difference in the world in terms of ratcheting up the drama,'' says George Lucas.
2. Carrie Fisher only got the role of Leia ''with the proviso that I went to a fat farm and that I lose 10 pounds.''
3. According to Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner, Hamill ''almost got killed'' in the Hoth recuperation-tank scene. Just before he hopped in, a light over the open tank cracked and huge pieces of glass ''came tearing down into the water.'' Oops.
4. ''Billy Dee had a lot of trouble remembering his lines,'' says Fisher of the actor behind Lando Calrissian. Maybe he was too busy making sure his charm hyperdrive was fixed by the techs in Cloud City.
5. The trilogy's most famous line -- ''I am your father'' -- was never actually delivered by the man behind Vader's mask, David Prowse. On the set, he told Luke that ''Obi-Wan killed your father.'' To maintain secrecy, the only people who knew the real line to be dubbed in later were Empire's producers, Kershner, and Hamill, who was informed just moments before cameras rolled on his close-up.

I have an LG WC2010 Front Load Washer. My washer was fine 2 days ago. Yesterday we moved to a new House. Before moving I installed all 4 Shipping bolts on the back. I hooked up the washer and put in a Medium load of clothes. About 15 minutes into the cycle, I went to check on it, and found water, in a small stream leaking from the bottom of the door, onto the flor. When I looked into the Front Glass, the water level was 1/2 way up the glass. I turned the washer off and unplugged it. I stuck my finger in the discharge hose and it felt dry as a bone. I used about 20 towels and slowly drained the water out by opening the door slightly and draining it into a bucket. Now the washer is empty, and I'm wondering if I should run it through a "Cleaning Cycle" and sit there to watch it, to see if it starts discharging water or not. Like I said, it worked fine 2 days ago, before we moved it. We were careful, and it only was moved 7 miles to its new location. No jarring, it wasn't outside in any of the elements etc. I'm stumped. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Set it on a spin-only cycle, listen if the pump runs. If not, then bad pump is likely your trouble. If the pump does run but no draining, then something is clogging the tub outlet or the drain hose. |
Here,s the Conversation between the LG Tech and myself..... I tried a small 2nd load and the water started backing up again. _________________________________________________________ ------Reply to Your Inquiry------- Good morning!

Thank you for choosing LG! Albert |
Kinda humorous that they're "delighted" to hear from a "valued customer" who is having a problem. |
Well the Appliance Tech was here and called LG Tech Support. Forgive my verbiage....... I guess theres some type of Valve that senses the Water Pressure/Heigth in the Drum. Seems as though the tube leading to that valve had an air bubble/blockage in it, that prevented the valve fron sensing the water height in the drum, causing it to overfill. So the Tech blew out the tub Cost me $65.00 and 1 Hour of my time. He ran it throgh its diagnostics and everything checkedout fine. Ran a load and all is well. So I guess you could say my LG Washer got a Blow Job from the Applkiance Tech, and it cost me $65.00 !!! ;^) Sorry...I couldnt resist. Best Christmas Present to myself. Gotta go...the Laundry calls. Thanks to everyone for their input. |

CD_ROM file reading problems Dec 20, 2:20 PM - by Steven Polge We are seeing reports of several different problems that appear to be due to problems reading files of the game CD. For example: Critical: appError called: Critical: Assertion failed: InPos>=0 There are also other examples, such as problems with running a particular map. Some people have reported problems applying the 402 patch because some file (such as botpack.u or umenu.u) is not recognized properly from their CD. .......... You might try the following reinstall procedure, simple as it seems it has helped a lot of people with weird errors. Corrupted files are sometimes installed without any error messages with some CD-ROM drives; data is copied to your HD with read-errors, but for some reason the CD drive doesn't warn the installer and everything appears to have installed OK. Copy everything from the CD to the hard drive, (running scandisk first to be absolutely sure there's nothing wrong with the hard drive) then install from the hard drive to the final destination folder. (you'll still need the CD in the drive for playing.) Also, please make sure you install into a clean (new) folder, not on top of any existing UT or UT-demo content. If your only problem is with patching, you only need to copy the system directory from the CD. When the patch installer asks you for your CD directory, give it the directory in which the temporary system directory resides (if you copied the system directory to c:\UTtemp\system, then tell the patch installer that c:\UTtemp is your CD. |

Cakebread Cellars Merlot 750ml 2005 Sku: 12033
Cakebread Cellars Merlot is dark garnet in color, reflecting its rich fruit character. Subtle aromas of blackberries, black tea leaves, dried herbs and vanillin are followed on the palate by fresh plum and cherry flavors offset by notes of black pepper and cassis, carrying into a touch of French oak on the finish.
Following completion of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is pressed from the skins and returned to stainless steel tanks for full malolactic fermentation. It is then racked into French oak barrels, roughly half of which are new and the balance of one and two years' use, for approximately eighteen months depending on the vintage.

Officer Mike Davenport and Sgt. Matt Emlich are organizing the first "Greater Talladega County First Responders Bench Press Competition," set for April 20 at J. Craig Smith Community Center in Sylacauga. Two divisions, one open to the public and the other for police and firemen, will compete with all proceeds benefiting the Sylacauga Care House food pantry.
"Most people have probably never seen this type of competition before, so it should be a fun time and a good family-oriented event," Davenport said. "Along with providing some additional funding for the Care House, we also hope it will encourage more police and firemen to exercise."
The fee to compete is a $20 donation prior to the event or $30 the day of the competition. Women will compete in one weight class, while the men's divisions are as follows: 0-181, 181.1-198, 198.1-220, 220.1-242, 242 and up.
Participants will weigh in beginning at 4 p.m. the day of the event, although times are slightly flexible for those who have conflicting schedules. Lifting will begin at 5 p.m., and each person will get three attempts.
Lifters will come to the bench, which will be pre-loaded with their desired weight, and lower the bar to their chest. The head judge will give a command to press, and the lifter should press the bar straight up with arms locked until they are given a command to release the weight. The top three participants in each weight class will receive a trophy.
Davenport said the idea for the contest, which already has about 12 participants, grew out of conversations with co-workers and quickly turned into something bigger.
"A lot of guys from the police department started lifting, and one day it came up that we ought to have a contest, just for some friendly competition," he said. "We decided if we were really going to do this, we should make it an event where somebody can benefit from it."
With that goal in mind, Care House was selected as this year's beneficiary. Emlich said it was the first and only organization they considered.
"The Care House does a lot on a small budget, and they're always in need of funding," Emlich said. "Knowing that the competition is for charity will hopefully help people be more willing to participate and get past their fear of losing."
If the contest is successful, Davenport said they plan to make it an annual event benefiting a different local charity each year. In the future, they may add extra divisions for teenagers and maybe even children, he said.
For those who want to participate but are not interested in lifting, Emlich and Davenport are collecting donations for Care House through April 5. They have also solicited gift certificates from a number of local businesses that will be raffled during the competition.
"We have gotten a lot of interest, and the support from the business community in Sylacauga has been outstanding," Davenport said. "The competition started off as something very small and has grown every day. It has been really well-received, and we're looking forward to building it every year and maybe having upwards of 40 to 50 lifters in the future."
For more information, contact Davenport at 256-454-1821.

Hi, all.
I have some nice bed linens that I'd like to wash. Any recommendations on what detergent to use (should I be concerned that any are going to somehow damage the cotton fibers?) and how hot the water should be? (I want to use as hot as possible without risking shrinkage or damaging the fibers.) I know to dry only on cold. Thank you! |

Are these all-cotton bed linens? All white or colored? With or without lace, pulled worked, tatting, etc.? If all-cotton, white and without fragile let-in trim or lace, then wash at relatively warm/high temps. (I regularly wash mine at 150+F.) Cotton is pretty tough. It is damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture, though nothing ordinary, such as spot-removing long soaks, would qualify as dangerously-prolonged exposure. (If you ever have a mind-lapse and soak far too long, i.e. many days/weeks, then gently remove stuff from water and let the fabrics line-dry to full dry before continuing to launder.) I use high temps in the wash to eliminate the need for bleaches (of whatever sort). As for drying, I line dry all bed linen, the ulitmate in "cold drying". If I chose to machine dry, I certainly wouldn't use cold temps, or even cool ones, for cotton. The extra abrasion from long drying times necessitated by cold temps would be harder on the fabric than medium, medium-hot temps and shorter drying times. Shrinkage with cottons is always a possibility, but it's not cumulative, once it's shrunk, it's shrunk, in my experience. And it's usually minimal, especially with high quality, long-staple cottons. Elastics on fitted sheets can sometimes be damaged by high temps, but that is easier to remediate than fabric which has overall damaged from too-liberal use of bleaching and cleaning agents necessitated by washing in cooler temps. Now if you have linens that are colored, then lower wash temps might be in order. (But not drying temps as the issue is hotter water releasing dye into the water, which doesn't happen in the dryer.) If your linens have fancy lace, tatting, or pulled work, temps are not as much as issue as mechanical strain and abrasion problems, so I'd opt for gentler action, shorter wash periods, and of course, line drying (carefully pinned so as not strain the more-tender components, especially when wet.) I would assume that if your stuff is highly ornamented, it's not for every day use, so you might find that as added insurance during laundering, that it's worth your while to baste sections of mesh, cambric or percale over spans of the trim to support it during each wash. This I would only do when the material required almost a fabric conservator's care, and thus not in use very often. As for soap, use whatever works well in your water for other stuff, and in general less, rather than more, as long as you're getting good cleaning. There are issues regarding OBAs, or optical brightening agents (either applied to fabric in the bolt, or added to washing powder to replace what's lost during wash.) You can read about these issues here, but as I don't know the age of your fabrics (really old stuff didn't have it applied during manufacture), what's common in the UK/EU markets for white fabrics as it is in the US, and whether EU/UK detergents routinely have OBAs in the wash powder. In general, if your stuff had OBAs applied during manucfacture you may experience some blotchiness if you don't continually reapply the OBAs removed by use and washing. Conversely, if your stuff is orginally OBA-free, then use of OBAs can cause blotchiness. I have a mixed bag here, mostly old white OBA-free cotton and linen sheets and table linens, so I use an OBA free powder. I do have some modern fabrics, and frankly, I don't see big problems with blotchiness from washed-out OBAs, even without using an OBA-added powder. OBAs are actually just weakly-persistent flourescent dyes that make white fabrics appear whiter to the eye, but I prefer not to use them. As always, though: YMMV (US-speak for "your mileage may vary", i.e., what works for me, may not work for you.) But I hope this helps, nonetheless. L |

My place is set on pier blocks. Insulation (fiberglass) is held in place by laths under the floor beams ( was that the right term).
No basement or crawl space..more of a "slide" in space. *sigh* Any ideas how to keep critters out or from "borrowing" to make their homes? What kind of barrier could I put on that would deter these pesky critters?? Would tar paper stapled under there be any good or would they just chew right thru? Sorry if this is wrong form but when looking at list I couldn't see anything for this problem. |

ccbear, I notice that your post is getting dated and unanswered. I hope you are still checking now and then. I'm not sure what you term as "laths" but have you consideed a very fine wire mesh stapled to the bottom of the floor joists? |
Thank you ontario_diyguy from your reply. Much appreciated! The "laths' are just strips of wood, thin and about an inch wide. I use them on my grnhouse when joining another piece of plastic. Joists that was the word I was looking for. LOL not beams! Thank-you! Actually not thought of wire as I wasn't aware there is something that fine. I had thought of screening (window) til someone burst my bubble and said that those darn mice would chew though that to. Although I am not sure IF they would....? Nothing like watching a chippy running across the garden with a mouth full of insulation! I can only guess where he got that from, seeing there are no other houses that close to me! lol |
- Posted by ontario_diyguy (My Page) on Sun, Aug 13, 06 at 21:36
ccbear, I thought that's you meant by "laths". You do have the right term for that...laths are stips of wood. But under your floor, they are not doing much good apart from holding the insulation up there. Another thing I would suggest is stapling a vapour barrier (plastic sheeting) to the joists before the wire mesh. You dont want a lot of moisture getting into the insulation. As for the wire mesh, if you are near a Home Depot or any other DIY store, go in and have a look around. They should have some fine wire mesh that a mouse couldn't get through. Your friend is right about the window screening as to the probability that the mice would chew through it. Ontario DIYguy |
Think I'd be putting some mouse food around.. or traps. Maybe staple and/or tape up if no vapor barrier/ some thicker double sided radiant barrier which is supposed to be rodent resistant - and maybe save you some heat/cool at same time. |
sorry for delay in answering, I couldn't log in. Thank you T.@ GW for responding to my problem so quickly. Ontario DIYguy I think I will go with the fine wire mesh. I have VB under my floor to keep out moisure. Mikie "Mouse food" or traps is not good for me outside as I have to many other critters around that might get into it. However I do put it in side IF they make it that far! Forgive an ignorant question from this new to DIY ole gal, but I am learning quickly, thanks in part to people here. CCBear |
Radiant Barrier comes with or without perforations. So its design can be used as a vapor barrier or with the perforations it breaths. Double sided reflects heat away from interior during summer and back into interior for winter. Does an extremely good job at reflecting heat. |
- Posted by ontario_diyguy (My Page) on Mon, Aug 14, 06 at 20:50
Hey, DIY ole gal, LOL The only ignorant or silly question is the one that is never asked. If you have a vapour barrier already, thats good. Try the wire mesh...it's the only way to go. Only too glad to help, Ontario DIYguy |

Climate change is constant, we get that. Most scientists believe that humans have had an added impact over the last century, that's pretty clear, BUT; What's the point of arguing about it either way? According to the scientists it appears that we can do nothing to reverse the effects and by what is it, 2050, the average temporature will be a couple degrees higher which will likely lead to increased sea levels, food production shortages, coastal errosion, etc. In light of that, would it not behoove us to squash our beefs and focus on adapting the what the new reality will likely be on this rock while at the same time doubling down on our efforts to find ways to live and survive away from this rock with its finite resources and ever increasing human population that seems to blindly eppect our standard of living to keep increasing asymptotically towards infinity without some much as a hickup getting in the way?
...Will someone distract Nam please? Say something stupid! Anyone? Please?
