One really ludicrous oversight is that the pointer hand isn't on screen all the time. Obviously some tasks don't utilize it at all - the knife or spoon or whatever moving instead of a pointer - but some recipes require you to push specific buttons with a hand. As it only appears on screen after the clock has started, you waste the first few seconds of each task screwing around trying to locate it on screen. Not useful in a game that relies on perfect timing.
Cooking Mama is visually very cute, with a pleasant effect coming from the combination of clean and bright cartoony settings with uncannily realistic-looking meats and vegetables. Fundamentally, though, it still feels like a DS game, and is largely unchanged except for the addition of the underwhelming competition and some frequently unresponsive and disappointing Wii remote controls. We're left with no other option than to risk the burning hell of Mama's eyes, and tell her to cook off.

I live in central florda and have cayenne, jalapeno, bell and banna peppers planted in a raised garden bed. Plants were started as seeds. Some of them have started narrowing at the base of the stalk near where the stalk comes out of the soil. Once this starts, the plant falls over and the leaves shrivle and die.....any ideas? thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
How old / big are they? If still seedlings, sounds like damping off. |
That's most likely damp off caused by fungi and soil that is too wet. Make sure your soil is well drained, and don't over water. |
thanks for the help, BTW the plants are about 6 weeks old and 12 to 18 inch high....my raised beds have a lot of peat in them and retain water really well---will back off on the watering and maybe next year have a bed for peppers only with less peat??? thanks |
Peat is very water retensive. That explains it. |
It is 99% damping off fungus and as stated, over watering, by you or mother nature is the culprit. Bruce |
One option is to add lots of bark to your raised bed to improve drainage. This will make your watering less critical. May need to add lime though as this would be an acidic mix. |

I would imagine if you install the usual DCOM98, Internet Explorer and MSI you will get it running, as apart from these three components making most wine installs work (at least work better), these are definitely required for an Office install in Windows. Check ouut Frank's Corner to get sorted, and don't forget to get his preconfigured wine file.

AMD has a long history of providing top-notch graphics cards for our graphics card comparison, and the Radeon HD 7870 is no exception. This high-end video card boasts a base clock speed of 1GHz, processing and rendering graphics faster than you can say "Fus Roh Dah!"
The HD 7870 uses 1,280 stream processors with AMD's Graphics Core Next processor architecture, more commonly known as GCN, and it has memory bandwidth of 153.6GB per second, providing decent speed and steady high frame rates that are optimal for playing graphic-intensive games, especially first-person shooters. However, compared with newer cards, 153.6GB per second isn't a particularly large memory bandwidth. This can affect gaming performance negatively at higher resolutions.
Like most high-end video cards, the HD 7870 has a long board and is double wide. This means that the card takes up two slots of room on your motherboard. It is 10.16 inches long, so you need to have a case with plenty of room to accommodate this graphics card and give it enough space to cool properly. The HD 7870 is Windows 8 ready and supports DirectX 9, 10 and 11. It also handles all modern formats of HD video, including H.264, without any problems, thanks to the Unified Video Decoder support.
One of the best features of the HD 7870 is the incorporation of PowerTune, a technology that automatically monitors the power draw of the video card and overclocks depending on how much power the HD 7870 is currently using. For example, the HD 7870 can use a maximum of 250 watts of power, but if it is only using 130 watts, then PowerTune boosts the clock speed up to the maximum. This intuitive control lets you enjoy enhanced performance and graphics without having to exit your program and manually adjust the overclocking settings.
You need to have at least two six-pin connectors and a 500-watt power supply to run the HD 7870. AMD's graphics team recommends you have four six-pin connectors available and a 600-watt power supply if you want to use a CrossFireX setup with two HD 7870 cards. AMD's ZeroCore technology is one of the outstanding features of the HD 7870. When your computer goes into idle or sleep mode, hardware, such as graphics cards, may still run at full capacity. ZeroCore drops the power usage of the HD 7870 to a mere 3 watts when your monitor sleeps and shuts down extra cards if you are running a CrossFireX setup. This saves power and reduces heat output and wear on your video card.
The AMD Radeon HD 7870 isn't the best graphics card on the market, but it is a decent high-end graphics card. With its superior processing speed and intuitive PowerTune feature that automatically overclocks the card when possible, you are sure to get the most out of your gaming and videos.
The HD 7870 has low power consumption and high graphical output. It supports up to six displays, and the GPU is overclockable to above 1GHz.
This video card is somewhat dated and doesn't perform as well as newer cards.
This fast, high-end graphics card gives you a powerful gaming experience and uses less power than comparable cards, even when under a full graphical workload.

If you thought the Super Bowl favourite Denver Broncos were in the running to land Reggie Bush this week, think again, according to CBS' Vic Lombardi.
Regarding the Broncos interest in Reggie Bush, aint happening. No interest. That's no on Revis and no on Bush.
— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) March 11, 2013
With the Dolphins showing little to no interest in bringing Bush back to Miami, the Lions appear to be the strongest possibility for the 28-year-old's services, but in addition to Detroit, the Cardinals are also reportedly looking at Bush.
After spending five seasons as a dual running/receiving threat in New Orleans, Bush settled into a more traditional running back role with the Dolphins, rushing for 2072 yards between the 2011 and 2012 seasons. In seven seasons between the Saints and Dolphins, Bush has totaled 4162 rushing yards, 2730 receiving yards and 44 combined touchdowns.
This past season was the first time since Reggie's rookie year of 2006 that he played in all 16 regular season games.

Would anyone care to comment on what you think, as an atheist, that a person is trying to say when they state that they are spiritual but not religious? My own reaction is very negative; I'm usually expecting them to go on to talk about ESP or auras. But maybe they are just saying they are interested in human values and emotions.
I think that being an atheist means recognizing that although we experience consciousness and emotions while our brains function, everything that we are comes from physical matter and will end when the brain fails and decays. We have no "spirit" separate from our brains.
I would say its code for "I don't like to define my beliefs in words, because then I sound stupid."
LOL I think you may have a point there.
I used to say that back when I was exploring and practicing some of the new agey stuff. What I meant was that I believed in a god, but didn't adhere to any sort of formal religion. Yes to angels, ghosts, existence on other planes, the power of the mind, quantum motorcycle maintenance, shamanism, animal guides, smudging a new residence with sage, navel gazing until it hurts to find your inner self, all of that.
Here in Texas, that is usually an intro into a fundie trick used to say, "we don't have a denomination, just the bloood of jeeezzuussahh!!
When I hear it, I run;)
Hearing that all the time, I suspect I'd sprain my eyeballs from rolling them!
Very well put!
A few years ago in Houston, Texas I heard a skit on the Hudson and Harrigan radio show where they claimed to belong to the Church of The Holy Frisbee. They said that when you die your soul goes up on the roof and you can't get it down. But seriously folks, B. K. is right. You don't have a soul. YOU are the soul.
Would I be religious if I had a church with an electric chair on the steeple? Maybe a "strap you in" gernie for lethal injections. After all, it is modern times.
I love that "blood of Jesus" one. How much do you bleed from a spear wound in the side? The gullible say all it would have taken was one drop. They forget that "out came blood and water." This is why some people think you are "saved" by water baptism. Let's go home and take a long shower.
Signs of alien abduction include missing time. Where did that 2 hours go? The other day I was running out of time to do my chores and my wife was coming home. Suddenly I gained over an hour. Does this mean there are no aliens?
"Being spiritual" could mean many different things to lots of people, but today ectoplasm has fallen out of favor. You never hear it mentioned these days. Maybe the spirits no longer need it to manifest. Maybe that helper in the darkness does it all.
FUNDIES don't do spiritual versus religious talk. It would show how disorganized they are, and they are bad enough all ready. Fundies know everything. Just ask them.
Fundies do spiritual vs. religious talk ALL THE TIME-I went to a nutty non-denominational school, so I know what they do. They've done it on television-that nutty SALT organization woman was on "Politically Incorrect" doing it with Bill Maher. "We don't need religion, we just need Jesus," etc. It really stems from an anti-Catholic sentiment. They think screaming and rolling in the floor and foaming at the mouth for Jesus is "being Spiritual" without the 'trying to work your way to heaven' stuff of "religion."
I hear it in Texas all the time.
And yes, I have sprained an eyeball.

SALEM, OR — Legislation has been introduced in Oregon by the House Committee on Revenue that would legalize and regulate the adult use of marijuana.
House Bill 3371 would establish a regulatory system, similar to the one in place in the state for alcohol, for the cultivation, production, and sale of cannabis to adults over 21.
Adults would be allowed to possess up to 24 ounces of usable marijuana and grow up to six plants in their homes, in addition to purchasing it from regulated retail outlets.
Oregon voters narrowly defeated a similar proposal, Measure 80, the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act (OCTA), in the 2012 election. Measure 80 would have created an Oregon Cannabis Commission to regulate the cultivation and sale of marijuana.
There are now marijuana legalization bills pending in seven state legislatures. The voters in Colorado and Washington set the ball of legalization rolling on Election Day and it seems unlikely to slow down anytime soon.
If you live in Oregon, please click here to quickly and easily contact your elected officials in support of this legislation. If you don't live in Oregon, click here and see if there is any pending marijuana law reform legislation in your state.

This is the worst nail product I have ever used. Nails chip within 24 hours. It seems to make the polish just barely adhere to your nail. Total waste of money
I love the base and top coat duo. I wash my dishes everyday and it still holds for a whole week. However, I find the colors ( step #2), too expensive and not enough choices of colors, so I decided to try a regular nail polish with the top and base coat and guess what - it works equally!! I don't see any difference between my regular nail polish color and the ones they advertise to use, so don' t waste your money on their colors, you can use any nail polish with this and it will work. Overall, I like this product (step 1 & 3).

This actually lasts less than my regular nail polish.
It chips the same or next day :(
I liked the color I picked, but if you're looking for something longer lasting don't bother.
Nowhere close to gel in how long it lasts.

Ever hear the story of the emporer's new clothes? That's this stuff. It's fine, adequate, some pretty shades. But no different from regular L'Oreal nail polish. I don't usually like base coat on my regular manis because I think it makes the color peel off in a full sheet. I normally just buff my nails and apply color. This supposedly being gel, I figured I would just use the base and top coats as directed. So basically I paid 21 bucks for the same mani I could have gotten for 6 by using the regular polish.

Normally I'm using expensive topcoats and basecoats. this one wasn't that expensibe, plus my mani at home lasts for 5 days at least (normally 1/2 days).
Will buy again!
I love gel manicures at the salon but they are expensive and damage my nails, though they usually last me about 12 days (they start peeling from the cuticles). Regular manicures that I do at home myself only last a few hours before they start chipping or peeling. So I wasn't hoping for much with this product. The primer applies rather easily and dries rather quickly. I bought the lightest shade for Step 2 and noticed it didn't apply very evenly and the color was streaky. The top coat also applied easily and dried fairly quickly. It did not give as much shine or 'plump' as a salon gel mani, but I was surprised that it lasted beyond a few hours. It did chip the following day, but honestly that was my fault - I was trying to peel a price sticker off a box. Other than that, it lasted about 3 days on my other nails under normal conditions (washing dishes/hands, giving my child a bath, doing laundry, typing on the keyboard, etc.). What I really enjoy is that it removes with regular nail polish remover (yes, you need to scrub and go over the nails a few times, but there is no need to soak them). Will I use this again on my nails? Maybe in pinch where I don't have the time or money to get to a nail salon - but I definitely like using this polish on my toes - it lasts longer and doesn't "rub off" like some other polishes do when you wear closed-toed shoes.
I keep reading awful things about this polish system-- and am experiencing the exact opposite. I will say that I have extremely awesome nails. They are very strong, very long and almost never break. They don't flex about so I rarely have chipping issues. I do get a lot of tip wear and loss at the cuticle.
This polish lasts me a week easy with NO flaws. The issue comes with regrowth as my nails grow very quickly. The shine stays and the finish is perfectly smooth.
I wore this polish on a trip to Manhattan with my infant daughter. I was washing my hands / bottles / hauling luggage etc constantly and still it stayed.

Meh. This is not the greatest base and top coat set, and contrary what it says on the packaging, not the only base and top coats that will work with the polishes from the Gel-Lacque line. The only nice things I have to say about them is that they're thin (after years of dealing with gloopy Seche Vite, a thinner consistency is nice) and dry extremely fast (like maybe 30 seconds). I don't think the top coat would dry any polishes beneath it, but it's a nice fast-drying option for adding shine to extend a dulling manicure. The base coat does a nice job sparing my nails from stain too despite being so thin.
Neither do anything to help adhere the polish to my nails and prevent chipping though. I wore my gel-lacque manicure for 7 days and on my healthier (non-peely, etc.), less used nails, the polish held up rather well for all 7 days. I had 2 nails on my right and 3 on my left that made it completely chip-free and with only minor tip wear. But on my peely, more frequently used nails? I had so many major chips on my right thumb and index finger just on the first night and second day of wear that I completely removed the polish from those fingers and started over on Night 2. Since I didn't want to put up with more chipping on those nails, I used my Revlon Colorstay's base and top coat instead of this set. Those two nails didn't chip again for the rest of the week so I think it's safe to say that this base and top coat was the problem and not the gel-Lacque polish (which I do kind of like!). My right middle, left middle and index fingers made it maybe 4 days without chipping and didn't start to look too bad until day 6.
Basically unless you have super healthy nails that need no help keeping your manicure nice, I wouldn't recommend this set. They don't offer anything to be worth paying $10-12 for the set, and the polish appears to work just fine without them.
I definitely won't repurchase these but I do want to buy a few more of the polishes from this line. I was really impressed with how pigmented the one I got (Fashion's Finest, a dark teal creme) was and how fast it dried. I will just be using them with my normal nail routine next time!

I wouldn't consider this gel polish, It simply seems like a base a topcoat packaged and sold together. I used it twice before wrote this review. The first test run was with the extraordinaire polish that is sold with it. the second time with a polish that was still L'Oreal but just something I bought last year. Both instances held up really well for traditional Nail polish It did not hold up like Gel polish. It begin to chip within a 5 days. with normal use of my hands, which is pretty normal for at home manis. I think that it would work for quick manicure but it your looking a for long lasting go with traditional Gel. There isn't much difference between this an others tops and bases, which is why I wouldn't necessarily buy it again. The shine is great and you can use it with any polish. I prefer traditional polish over gel polish in general because I tend to be no committal with my polish, so if you are that way it may work for you. I would suggest just buy the top and base, and go crazy with the color because the offered selection is limited.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Let me save you all some money!! Don't buy this!! I really wish I had looked on MUA before I bought this stuff. It was so alluring at Target...."buy me", "buy me". I have never had a gel manicure before but from what I know, it's supposed to last longer than an ordinary manicure. L'Oreal should be ashamed of themselves! This is a blatent waste of money! The "primer" and the "gel top coat" are packaged together and you buy them separately -- at Target this was between $9 and $10 for both. The color is sold separately. I chose a burgundy red color that I can't remember the name of -- another $6 bucks. I followed the directions. First the primer, then the color, then the gel top coat. First of all, I have no complaints with the primer...it's a base coat. The color was very pretty and dried quickly down to a very matte finish. The gel top coat makes this very shiny and it looked very pretty for about 12 hours. Then...chip, chip, chip. Seriously??? So mad! I was touching this up daily! My normal manicure routine is China Glaze, Orly or OPI and Seche Vite top coat. Any of those three polishes and the Seche Vite top coat blow this L'Oreal "gel treatment" out of the water. You are supposed to be able to take this off with regular nail polish remover and I believe it!!! #1 - As I sit here, I am able to pretty much just pick it off and #2 - This IS regular nail polish with a base coat and top coat that L'Oreal markets as "gel" to jump on the gel trend and charge more money. Very disappointed and won't buy again. Hope I'm able to save someone else the money. :-(

The Isles extended their 4 game winning streak to 5 with a shootout win against the Florida Panthers Friday night.
A lot of fans might see this game as one of "The Greatest Tank Battles," but the Islanders are not just playing out the string. They have points in their last four games, going 3-0-1 in that stretch. The one game the Isles didn't win was a 13 round shootout loss to the probably playoff bound Tampa Bay Lightning.
Last night, the Hawks turned heads by welcoming back Kris Versteeg from the Florida Panthers along with prospect Phillipe Lefebrve in exchange for forward Jimmy Hayes and defenseman Dylan Olsen.
Versteeg, a fan favorite, played a key role on the Hawk's 2010 championship winning team, and was then a victim of the subsequent roster turnover due to the cap crunch that sent him to Toronto for former Hawk Viktor Stalberg. After playing briefly for the Leafs and Flyers, he found a spot in Florida for t...
Thursday night's game versus the Coyotes was certainly very entertaining.The Blackhawks opened the scoring early, with Brandon Saad shoveling in a rebound at 2:37 in the first. Patrick Sharp would follow that up with a power play goal less than four minutes later to make it 2-0 Chicago.Phoenix would break on to the score sheet just 41 seconds later, when a shot by Michael Stone was accidentially tipped by Chicago's Brandon Pirri to make it 2-1. The Coyotes would tie up the game with a power play goal by Shane Doan.Marian Hossa scored to make it 3-2 Blackhawks, 5:05 into the second period. Chicago held on to the lead for most of the third until L...
The Islanders begin a 4 game road trip tonight in our nation's capital against the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center that is now a divisional matchup as part of the Metropolitan Division.
This week, the Blackhawks will play both Florida teams, starting with the Panthers on Tuesday night at the BB&T Center in Sunrise. It is also time for the team's annual parents' trip; this season, it's the mother-son version of the trip.Rookie Joakim Nordström was sent back to the AHL this weekend. He is expected to get much more playing time with the IceHogs and to work on his penalty kill skills. At this time, a call-up player has not been announced; it is expected that Michael Kostka or Sheldon Brookbank will likely fill in on the forward position, as they have in the past.Chicago goes into Tuesday night's game ranked second in the Central d...
The New York Islanders kick of their final stretch of games for the 2013 season against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight. The Isles play their last 5 games of the lockout-shortened season away from Nassau Coliseum.
The Islanders head in to Toronto 1-0-1 against the Maple Leafs this season. After a huge 7-4 win over the Leafs back in January, the Isles lost 5-4 in overtime against Toronto in February, where Nazeem Kadri tallied his first NHL hat-trick for the Leafs.
In the finale of this recent homestand, the Islanders look to salvage two points after going 0-3 so far. Their futility at home has been consistently troubling and their 5-11-2 record leaves fans scratching their head.
If they are to miss the playoffs in the shortened 2013 season, they can look to their play at home as the reason why. They have collected only 12 of a possibly 36 points at the Nassau Coliseum all season.
Despite all of this, the Islanders remain only 3 points out of a playoff spot. In order to make any sort of legimiate run towards the postseason, the Islanders have to fatten up their record against teams like the bottom dwelling Panthers.
The Islanders will kick off 4-game home stand tonight when they take on the Ottawa Senators for the third and final time this season. After a difficult 3-1 loss to the Sens back in February, the Isles took the most recent matchup with a pair of stellar shootout goals by the likes of Frans Nielsen and John Tavares.
So far this month, the Isles are 5-1-1, which has currently placed them 3 points out of the 8th and last playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Isles have also improved on their dreadful home record, going 3-0-2 in their last 5 games at the Nassau Coliseum.
Once again, the Islanders made it dramatic before pulling off the victory Saturday in Sunrise.
The Isles came to the greater Miami area to play the Florida Panthers after shutting out Tampa Bay 2-0 behind strong defensive play. Could they continue that trend against Florida?

Well... apparently I won't be getting my TV until tomorrow. Delivery tracking said it would be here today, and since nothing had arrived yet I finally called the delivery company just now and they told me they would have to make an appointment for delivery. And at this point the earliest they can do it is tomorrow. Wish someone had told me they required an appointment. Waited around pretty much all day for it today.
Got this awesome tv. Received it Tuesday afternoon took about 30 minutes to setup. Picture looks really good the only down side was it was jittery. However, after the overnight firmware update that went away and looks even better. Hope this deal works out for everyone else! FYI only thing that didn't come was two AAA batteries for the remote.

I really enjoy using Google Chrome 8 on all my computers. I started using the original Chrome a couple years back, but uninstalled it. Initially, I missed having the Google toolbar, google bookmarks. I also had some problems with crashes and instability. The newest version so far seems to be better. Now with the Chrome Web Store, I've added a Google Bookmark Extension, Amazon price tracker, IE-based tab, weather, mouse gestures and others. I don't miss the Google toolbar anymore that I had on my IE and FF browser. The stability seems to be better. It has a nice modern, clean look.
I installed Chrome to all of my computers (7 yr old Compaq Presario, 3.5 yr old HP Pavillion, and 4 .5 yr old Macbook Pro).
I still have IE, FF, and Opera (on one of my computers). Now, I rarely use any of the others.
I worked on one of relatives Compaq desktop that had slowed to a crawl. I uninstalled a lot of the crapware, used CCleaner, defragged the HDD, and installed Chrome. Now for websurfing, it runs like a dream.

My children and grandchildren came for a visit for the holidays.
Three of them seem very allergic to my house. This is not the first time. In fact, my daughter, who just got married last year, spent the night before her marriage in a hotel because she was so certain that the house would make her wheezy and sick. This time she had one night where she could hardly breathe. After a couple of days, she gets back to normal a little bit, but she still feels the pain in her chest. This has been happening for about 5 years. I have no idea what to do? I called the small town leaders, but they aren't any smarter than I am. Is there an agency or organization that could come out and check my house to see what it might be? Who could I call. Help. I really need to get to the bottom of this. Thanks. |

do you have animals? any smells in any area fo the house? funny thing is that people who live in a home rarely smell the ongoing smells. how long have you lived there? have you had anyone check the house for mold? |
How about a certified Home Inspector? |
Do you know what they are allergic to? Could be mold, certain plants, animals, dust, fumes from heating oil, gas, sewer, paints, perfume, soap, laundry detergent, scented candles, air fresheners. The list is huge. Unless you know what they are allergic to where do you begin? |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Tue, Dec 30, 08 at 11:45
a certified home inspector won't tell you squat unless they are also certified to perform (and actually do) allergen and mold tests. i tend to lean towards somethign in the house such as the dust/pet dander/type of air freshener/etc. my wife used to use air fresheners all the time. i was always getting headaches/nausea. she ran out once and forgot to pick some up at the store and what do you know, my illness went away the 2nd day! she finally got some and soon as she sprayed it came back. only seems to happen with certain aeresol sprays, some will affect me but most won't. |
There are already many good replies already. As joed wrote, there is a huge list of things that can cause reactions. And, as you've discovered, different people can react in different ways to the same thing. We had a similar problem in our home that turned out to be highly elevated mold spore levels. This was the result of a plumbing related flood. Below is a link to an excellent book that covers all sorts of things that can impact indoor air quality. The title of the book sounds alarmist but the book itself is not. It's written by an industrial hygienist that has inspected hundreds of homes. This book won't tell you what the problem is in your home but it will give you an idea of things to consider. And sometimes the solutions are easy an inexpensive. You might be able to find a copy at your local library. That's where I first found it after reading some positive reviews on Amazon.com. Later I ended up buying a copy from half.com. Good luck! Bob |

Just a thought.....This also sounds much like people who live in lower elevations visiting someone at a higher elevations. You say it lasts only for a day or two which means they are becoming aclimated. |
When I was first married and had small children , we bought a brand new modular home and my baby had breathing and asthma problems as soon as he came home from the hospital . This went on for a year and a half . After seeing specialists , getting tests for cystic fibrosis , allergies , etc . my pediatrician askedus to check with the home manufacturer about formaldahyde . When we checked - we were shocked that there was formaldahyde in almost everything . The walls , insulation , carpets and cabinets . She suggested we move . So we immediately bought another house and moved . His health improved immediately . |
Do you spray all over before they come with "air freshener" or do you spray furniture cleaner? There is a church in town who's janitor or someone puts some sort of odor eliminators in every bathroom and hall way to eliminate the "stale smell". My eyes water, my throat catches and I wheeze. I won't go to a funeral there....and I don;'t know what to do if I am ever invited to a wedding there!

Any smokers in the house? |

Wonder what happened to the original poster. :-[ |
Could be outside the house. GF moved into old house & her DH got sick almost immediately. Ear, nose & throat dr was irrigating his sinus often, using antibodics on him, his eyes were black around them like he had been punched by someone. Turned out the side yard had hedge of honeysuckle, front yard had pepper trees. After they moved his illness went away. Japanese Pivot(sp) a hedge with cream flowers & shiny leaves used all over CA. Is 1 of things drs do not check for when they are doing allergy tests. It requires special test even though it is major cause of allergies. Smoke can be very serious allergy, smoke can be from smoking, candles in a room, fire in firepit, BarBQ, forest fire. Even pipe or cigar smoke. Extra cold house, I had GF that had GS that slept under the covers, he said he got sick in her house otherwise. So hope she comes back to forum & finds out the problem & tells us what it was. Often takes awhile to figure out what the source is. |

former restaurant owner sentenced in federal court for filing a false income tax return
Anchorage, Alaska – United States Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced that an Anchorage
woman was sentenced in federal court in Anchorage for filing a false federal income tax return.
On April 29, 2011, Senior United States District Judge H. Russel Holland sentenced Kisun
Hamilton, 54, of Anchorage, to five years of probation, 14 months of home confinement, and fined
$25,000. Hamilton was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $160,000 to IRS.
From 2000 to 2007, Hamilton skimmed approximately $1.5 million in currency received by her
restaurant, Tempura Inn, which was located at the Dimond Mall in Anchorage. Hamilton no longer owns
the business. She kept track of her fraud by maintaining a double set of books. One set reflected the
actual income of the business, while the amounts entered in the second set omitted significant amounts of
cash. The second set was the one she provided to her tax return preparer. The unreported cash ranged
from $500 to $2,000 a day. In all, Hamilton evaded nearly half a million dollars in taxes. With interest
and penalties, her total debt to the IRS is at least $1 million.
Some of the skimmed cash was used to partially pay employees under the table. By paying
employees half of their wages in cash under the table, she not only defrauded the government out of
income taxes, social security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance payments, she also cheated the
employees out of benefits to which they might eventually be entitled. Some of the remaining cash was
spent on jewelry, expensive vehicles, home remodeling, investment properties, and international travel.
$40,000 in cash was seized from her residence when IRS agents executed a search warrant in 2009, along
with double sets of books documenting the skim.
As stated in the Government's Sentencing Memorandum, a person who fails to pay their fair share
of taxes has an unfair business advantage over those who do. Hamilton also defrauded the Dimond
Center mall, where her rent was partially determined by her gross receipts. By under-reporting receipts to
the mall, she defrauded her landlord, and only paid back the money due after being caught. The
defendant has made $320,000 in restitution to the U.S. Treasury, and was ordered by the Court to make
complete restitution, pay interest and penalties, and perform 100 hours of community service consisting
of outreach to the Korean and restaurant communities regarding the consequences of tax evasion.
Ms. Loeffler commended the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation for the
investigation leading to the prosecution of Hamilton.

Yeovil Town have signed Carlisle United striker Paddy Madden on a one-month loan deal.
The 22-year-old goes straight into Gary Johnson's squad for the visit of Colchester, as the Glovers look to end a run of six-successive defeats,
The Irish under-21 international started his career at Bohemians, where he made 53 appearances and scored 14 goals, before netting eight times in 16 appearances in a loan spell at Shelbourne.
He signed for the Cumbrians in 2011 and has gone on to make 36 appearances for the club and scored twice.
Madden has played three times this season and netted in the 4-2 victory over Portsmouth.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buffy, a Douglas Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Douglas, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Douglas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Douglas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Douglas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Douglas paves the way for another one to be saved.

After weight lifting this morning, University of Oregon football players took to social media to invite the student body to a snowball fight. Senior wide receiver Josh Huff, as well as other football players, used their Twitter accounts to spread the word.
The battles took place on the Student Recreation Center fields on 15th Avenue and in front of the Collier House on 13th and University.
At the Rec fields initally, students and athletes gathered on field No. 1. Kenon Lowe stood in the middle of the field with his dog, Kyrie, and a small group of people congregated to play with the 7-month-old pup. Asked if he named Kyrie after NBA star Kyrie Irving, Lowe said, "Most definitely."
Lowe added later that part of the reason he brought Kyrie was to avoid getting attacked.
"Nobody threw snowballs at me," Lowe said.
Up to 12:44 p.m., the players and students playfully threw some snowballs back and forth. Tensions were cool. People were chatting, smiling, looking calm. Then, at 12:45, all hell broke loose.
Fight commences http://t.co/fGiuNGPImL
— Victor Flores (@vflores415) December 6, 2013
Players and students fired snowballs back and forth, running to attack each other or running to avoid the rampage. Two of the most vocal players were linemen Karrington Armstrong and Tyler Johnstone, but dozens of players participated in the action. Armstrong said the students and athletes were basically fighting against each other. The students vastly outnumbered the athletes.
"It's not going too well," Armstrong said shortly after the fight started.
Later, Armstrong yelled an apology to all of the attacking students.
"I am sorry for Arizona!" he screamed, referring to Oregon's loss to the Arizona Wildcats On Nov. 23.
Several players got pelted with snowballs. At one point, a girl poured a box full of snow on running back Thomas Tyner's head. He looked miserable as he brushed the mountain of snow off his head and back.
Tyner: "I'm pretty damn cold."
— Victor Flores (@vflores415) December 6, 2013
Running back Byron Marshall, who was at the Collier House fight, might've taken the worst punishment of any player.
"I got a nut shot and an eye shot," Marshall said around 1:45 p.m. when the fight was winding down. "I'm done."
Toward the end of the fights, players reflected on the day and discussed why they decided to organize the fight in the first place. Johnstone said they wanted to take advantage of the rare Eugene snow.
"Just because it's fun," Johnstone said. "It's snow and no one ever organizes a snowball fight."
Linebacker Rodney Hardrick wore a black hoodie with his large No. 48 on the front. He was one of several players wearing shirts with their jersey numbers, and he said he strongly regretted doing that.
"It's a big target and everyone's been killing me," Hardrick said.
Overall, the players said it was a fun experience, even though the students were merciless. Hardrick and Huff said it was a way to repay students for their support throughout the season.
"It's been really fun," Hardrick said. "They (the students) kinda teamed up on us. We were outnumbered, but it's a nice way to give back."

Get AccessAbstract
We give a short proof of the sharp weighted bound for sparse operators that holds for all p,1 < p < ∞. By recent developments this implies the bounds hold for any Calderón–Zygmund operator. The novelty of our approach is that we avoid two techniques that are present in other proofs: two weight inequalities and extrapolation. Our techniques are applicable to fractional integral operators as well.

Bridge Camps Without Tents
During the late spring, summer and early fall, I travel to various locations to teach what are usually three-day courses. Typically, each day features a lesson from 10:00-12:00, lunch from 12:00-1:00, and another lesson from 1:00-3:00 (so everyone can still fit in eighteen holes of golf!). The sixth session features deals on the topics covered.
In each lesson, I give an instructive preamble that lasts around 30 minutes, then we play at least six prepared deals on that subject.
Everyone also receives a booklet with copious notes that includes lesson notes and the example deals with bidding and play analysis.
My primary aim is that everyone has a fun time while improving their bridge.
This summer's schedule is over now, but if you might like me to arrange one in your area next year, drop me an e-mail.

I am particularly happy to receive deals suitable for the column. If you submit one, please give (if possible) the dealer, the vulnerability, the auction, the play, and the names of the key players. Also, indicate if you would prefer your name not to be given in the column.
I prefer deals with an instructive point, especially in the play, not wild layouts that come down to guesswork.
Good luck with bridge and life!

The Daily Troll: Radiation escape at Hanford. Big interest in taking over Egyptian Theatre. Tuesday at Seattle Art Museum? No more.
Hanford finds higher radiation
Federal officials say liquid radioactive waste may be escaping from a failing storage tank on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Gov. Jay Inslee said he received word of higher levels of radioactivity under the tank in a late night call from U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. The governor said it could take several more days of analysis before the source of the radioactivity is verified.
Update 10:48 p.m.: Inslee held a press conference and Crosscut's John Stang reports:
The tank is one of the site's 28 double-shell tanks, which have reached the ends of their designed lives. Hanford has pumped all liquids from its leak-prone 149 single-shell tanks into the 28 newer and safer double-shell tanks. If a leak is confirmed, the tank, called AY-102, will be the first confirmed leaker among the double-shell tanks.
"This raises some very troubling questions," Inslee said. Radioactive gunk was found between AY-102's two shells last summer. The state and the U.S. Department of Energy will meet in July to discuss how to speed up the removal of liquids from Tank AY-102, which is currently scheduled to be pumped out in 2019. There is enough room in the other 27 double-shell tanks to receive the 600,000 gallons of liquids from AY-102, said Maia Bellon, director of the Washington Department of Ecology. Pumping equipment is being installed.
Egyptian Theatre ideas sought
The upcoming closure of the Egyptian Theatre has provoked a rush of groups and individuals who want to make sure the historic venue is put to good use. Seattle Central Community College, which owns the building that houses the theater, said the intense interest — from more than a dozen parties just since Monday's announcement of the closure — has led it to launch a formal request for proposals. The request will go out "within a month," the college said this morning.
Hospital CEO salaries
At least five hospital executives in the state make more than $1 million annually. The leader is Dr. Gary Kaplan, CEO of Virginia Mason in Seattle, at $3.7 million in total compensation (much of it deferred). Health care writer and advocate Kathleen O'Connor, who published the information here, says this is the first year hospitals have had to report salary information to the state Department of Health. The DOH site shows three of the other five $1 million-plus packages were for execs at hospitals outside the Seattle area: Central Washington Medical Center, Wenatchee; Providence Sacred Heart, Spokane; and Providence St. Peter, Olympia. Rich Roodman, who has been CEO of Valley Medical Center in Renton for 30 years, is the other Puget Sound hospital honcho on the million-plus list (at $1.2 million). Why the fat salaries? O'Connor says consumers, not to mention hospital boards of directors, should be asking questions about what the institutions — and their staff and patients — are getting for those million-plus paydays. Indeed.
SAM cancels Tuesdays
The downtown Seattle Art Museum will close on Tuesdays — as well as Mondays — beginning July 1. Friday evening hours are also being dropped. According to the email announcement, the museum will open "on select Monday holidays including Labor Day, Veterans Day and Memorial Day." Crosscut's Vanesha Manuturi left messages seeking comment earlier this afternoon but there was no immediate response. The summer closures seem curious, given the reduced opportunity for tourists and locals with out-of-town visitors to see exhibits. Is the home of "Hammering Man" that hammered by financial troubles?
Guilty plea in 520 DUI fatality
A Tacoma man, Michael Anthony Robertson, pleaded guilty today to drunken driving and vehicular homicide in the wrong-way crash that killed Morgan Williams as she drove to work on Highway 520 in April. The Seattle Times reported that Robertson received no concessions and that the King County prosecutor is seeking a 10-and-a-half year sentence, the maximum for the crime under sentencing guidelines. The case helped spark an effort in the Legislature to tighten DUI laws, although any new laws will likely be deferred to next year's session.

Posted Fri, Jun 21, 9:40 p.m.
Tuesday hours for Seattle Art Museum have been erratic at best this year -- in the winter I got stopped a couple of times with locked doors when I came down to the museum on a Tuesday. I know they've had intermittent open hours on Mondays and Tuesdays (especially for members) but I learned through experience not to count on it.

Hair Removal Treatments
Performing a Quality Brazilian
By: Crickett
Posted: November 26, 2008, from the December 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 4 of 5
Step 2. Start on the buttocks if they are hairy, then work in toward the anus. Remove as much hair as you can while you are back there; this will save time when you have your client turn over to do the front.
Step 3. After helping her turn over to the front, start with the bikini line: The traditional line is 2–3" to the outside of the leg crease.
Step 4. Then move to the labia. Again, work from the outside crease of the labia in toward the center. You may choose to tackle this area in two to three sections, as it is more sensitive.
Step 5. Next, work on the outside sections of the lower abdomen: This is the triangle section.
Step 6. After this, work on the center of the abdomen, more commonly known as the landing strip (down the center). If you are doing a standard Brazilian, you will leave this section intact.

Kendrick Lamar - The Jig Is Up (Dump'n) (Prod. By J. Cole & Canei Finch)
The Jig Is Up (Dump'n) Kendrick Lamar Produced by J. Cole & Canei Finch
Kendrick Lamar decided that today is Appreciation Day for everyone who supported GKMC, and since he was in the studio with J. Cole last night it was only right he let go this banger produced by Cole. Enjoy!
Listen to The Jig Is Up (Dump'n) (Prod. by J. Cole & Canei Finch), the latest track from Kendrick Lamar. The cut dropped on Tuesday, October 30th, 2012. Kendrick Lamar's future brightens with every new release, and The Jig Is Up (Dump'n) (Prod. by J. Cole & Canei Finch) certainly isn't an exception. It's a fitting addition to a solid catalogue that Kendrick Lamar has been developing since stepping foot in the game. We're excited to hear more.
Have you heard Kendrick Lamar's Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe (Demo), featuring Lady Gaga? Check out Kendrick Lamar's profile page for the most recent info, news, songs, and mixtapes.

I just hope the UK get a Iron Patriot minifigure with this game to complete my Iron Man minifigure collection!! :D
I keep asking the Lego Store staff they say they don't know anything yet?!
^I doubt Lego store stuff will know anything about the computer games, unless they follow the news personally.
I hope 100 characters doesn't transfer into 42 variants of Iron Man and Thor with/without a helmet etc.
They are fighting Galactus if you look at the trailer on LEGO site :D
Does anybody knows if that game will play in nintedo dsi xl ?
Most important question of all! Does it come with an actual minifig? (e.g.: the LOTR game came with an absolutely wicked Elrond minifig, but my Batman2 game did not.)
From what I can tell the game looks nice.
The Big Legoski Are you not up to date? If you Pre-Order, you will receive an Iron Patriot.
@ The Big Legoski, it comes with the Iron Patriot minifigure. See here: http://www.fbtb.net/2013/05/07/walmart-now-lists-iron-patriot-pre-order-bonus/ Edit: didn't see Blaziken5x's post
Thanks for the info, I was not up to date.
All I have to do now is find out where I can buy this game locally (in The Netherlands) with this minifig, as it is most unlikely I will order it from Walmart in the UsA, when this game will also be solded through various outlets in NL or elsewhere in Europe.
I just watched this Gamespot E3 clip with lots and lots of info and over 16 minutes of 'in game play' video to get a proper taste of what the game is going to be like.
Not a bad Ironman Minifig., although a grey improvised Ironman minifig. which Tony 'MacGyver' Stark put together in that cave in the first Ironman movie would have been even better imo.
Last I checked, they were releasing a Nintendo DS version; that would work on your DSi XL.
@Theophilos I'm not exactly sure, but they've started to stray away from making DS games, most are for the 3DS now. They might still, however.
Deadpool bricks!!!
So Deadpool is the vendor...that sounds like it'll get interesting..
This game sounds like it will be amazing!
Why is the Apple Mac release always last/never mentioned?
at one point he says "we got the heart breaker...." in refrence to iron man, i think he meant the hulk buster iron man suit.
@davedude: No, the Heartbreaker armor is the nickname for the Mark 17, which appears as part of the "Iron Legion" in Iron Man 3. With lots of "Iron Men" appearing in the game, though, it's quite possible a Hulbuster armor (or the similar "Igor" armor from Iron Man 3) could appear.
The Heartbreaker armor appears in this Iron Man 3 set: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=76008-1

On July 1, Ken Smith was issued a death sentence.
A Billings oncologist looked the 68-year-old man in the eye and said, "You have a fatal disease called mesothelioma."
As Smith understood it, his only shot at longevity was chemotherapy — and it was a long one at that.
Mesothelioma is a deadly form of cancer that most often affects the tissue surrounding the lungs. Smith's right lung was wrapped in tumors like bacon around a filet mignon.
It was Stage 3.
Patients with Stage 3 mesothelioma typically have a short prognosis, ranging anywhere from a few months to more than a year after diagnosis. Treatments are available, but there is no cure.
Smith, of Billings, was given a maximum of two years — but that was generous.
He balked, vehemently refusing to accept the death sentence.
"Cancer is something you think is never going to happen to you, then it does," Smith said.
He is one of an estimated 3,000 Americans who have been, or will be, diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma this year.
He doesn't know for sure when — or even where — where he contracted the deadly cancer that stole 40 pounds from his lean frame.
Factors that might increase the risk of mesothelioma include a personal history of asbestos exposure, living with someone who works with asbestos and a monkey virus used in polio vaccines.
The asbestos industry grew rapidly by the early 1900s, and by 1905 the United States' many asbestos manufacturers produced 2,820 tons of asbestos – all for domestic use. Most asbestos products can be categorized as either construction or automotive materials, though some were general. Some of the most popular asbestos product uses included insulation, automotive parts, cement and textiles.
Smith said he could have been exposed to asbestos while scraping lead paint off his garage, removing insulation from his attic or working as a mechanic in the U.S. Navy from 1964-68.
It doesn't really matter. Smith has it. He is left to deal with the fallout.
Refusing to accept his physician's diagnosis, he began scouring websites. He spent weeks on his computer, vetting websites and searching for answers, even a possible cure. He became fanatical about studying the illness, clinging to every morsel of information he could glean. He found a nonprofit organization that intrigued him, www.curemeso.org, and reached out.
It wasn't long before he received a list of mesothelioma specialists in the country — Boston, Chicago, Minnesota.
He settled on a specialist in Chicago — the director of the Mesothelioma Program at the University of Chicago Medicine.
She offered him the option of a "radical, possibly life-threatening surgery."
It was a risk; it was also an option.
His response? "Let's go for it."
During a six-hour surgery in August, the lower one-third of his right lung and chest cavity were removed. Part of his diaphragm and part of the lining around his heart were also extracted.
He spent two weeks post-surgery in the hospital and five weeks in Chicago while healing.
"It's great to be home," he said, showing the magnitude of his scar.
His latest CT scan shows "microscopic" traces of cancer, according to Smith. He is hoping chemotherapy treatment will help keep the cancer suppressed.
"The best I can hope for is that I may be able to treat this like a chronic disease, like diabetes," Smith said.
His Chicago physician is now consulting with his Billings physician to begin chemotherapy.
Smith wanted to share his story to inspire others who receive a cancer diagnosis. Hearing the C-word is not a death sentence, he said.
"It is not hopeless," he said.
His message is multifaceted: Always get a second opinion, don't blindly accept the initial diagnosis, become an expert on your cancer or diagnosis and be active in your own medical care.
There are time when he still gets winded exerting himself or when climbing the stairs. It is a minor inconvenience to the alternative, he said.
"If I can be sitting here seven years from now with a decent quality of life, it beats the heck out of one or two years," Smith said. "If I'd done nothing I would have been dead in six months to a year."
