Two Mobile Catastrophe Response Teams representing Rainbow International have returned after helping home and business owners in North Carolina recover from Hurricane Irene.
John Wheeler, owner of Rainbow International of Greenville (South Carolina), dispatched two trucks and teams of restoration specialists to help recovery efforts along coastal North Carolina. His teams worked primarily in Greenville and New Bern. "We were fortunate that South Carolina missed the blunt of Hurricane Irene's impact," Wheeler said. "Our neighbors to the north weren't so lucky and saw considerably more damage. While Hurricane Irene didn't pack the punch forecasters originally called for, many home and business owners suffered damage and we were privileged to help start the recovery process."
Hurricane Irene made landfall August 27 near Cape Lookout, NC as a Category 1 storm. She then raked up the East Coast, causing extensive flooding and wind damage from Virginia to New England. Current U.S. estimates attribute 45 deaths and $7 billion in property damage to Hurricane Irene.
"The majority of the damage we saw came from extensive flooding and high winds," Wheeler added. "The hurricane also spawned a number of tornadoes that added to the destruction. We were able to complete emergency water extraction and drying for a number of homes and businesses."
Rainbow International Mobile Catastrophe Response Teams have completed similar work in the past, including recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina (2005) in Louisiana and Mississippi and Hurricane Ike (2008) in Texas.
"We're in the disaster recovery business to help as many people as we can." Wheeler said. "Families want to get back in their homes as soon as possible. Businesses need to re-open their doors quickly. At Rainbow International, we don't just restore homes and businesses; we restore value, stability, and peace of mind."
Rainbow International offers water, fire, smoke and mold damage cleanup and restoration services. Wheeler has owned and operated Rainbow International since 1999. Rainbow International also serves Anderson, Spartanburg and Pickens counties and the surrounding area.
Rainbow International may be reached at (864) 242-6707 or visit rainbowintl.com/greenvillesc for more information or to schedule a service appointment.

Writer Delia Ephron on telling women's stories.
Novelist, screenwriter and playwright Delia Ephron is known for her work on her own (the film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, How to Eat Like a Child) and with her late sister, Nora (the movie You've Got Mail and the play Love, Loss and What I Wore, onstage at Asolo Rep last summer). Her latest novel, The Lion Is In, will be one subject of her conversation when she visits the Jewish Book Festival, March 3 at the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee's Beatrice Friedman Theater (tickets at jfedsrq.org or 371-4546 ext. 119). And there's sort of a funny story about this one…
Q. I read on your website that The Lion Is In happened because of an anxiety attack and a dream. Pretty odd, right?
A. It's not the usual way I start books! I was upset about a number of things, and then I had a dream about three women in a bar and a lion. I knew they were on the run; I didn't know why. And it took place in North Carolina, a place I'd never been. But I somehow knew it was my story to write, and I immediately started. Writing it was a totally joyous experience, which is not always the case.
Q. Tell me a little more about it.
A. Usually you do the research for a book first, but in this case, I went to North Carolina after the writing, to look at the things I'd written about. There's a tree in my book—a certain lone oak, with no foliage, just naked limbs, that Rita, one of the women, wants for the lion. So my niece is driving me around and suddenly I see that tree and scream, nearly scaring her to death. It was just as I'd pictured it, with the bark all off, in this case from goats rubbing against it.
[cp_quote style="quote_right_dark"]I had a dream about three women in a bar and a lion. I knew they were on the run; I didn't know why. But I somehow knew it was my story to write.[/cp_quote]
Q. You grew up in a family of writers, not only your parents, but eventually your three sisters as well. Did you fight against that gene for a while?
A. Writing was clearly my destiny, but I didn't really become a writer until I was 30. I knew it was a lot to tackle, because of my parents and Nora. Before I started my writing career I got married to the wrong person, had jobs with really crazy bosses, even opened a crocheting business. That's actually what led to writing a book about crocheting, without admitting that I was actually writing. But I love storytelling; I want the reader to want to turn the page.
Q. What was the process of putting together Love, Loss and What I Wore?
A. Nora sent the book to me and said it would be a great theater piece. We did a lot of research and interviews, and when it came to writing, some of the women's stories we collaborated on, some we worked on alone. It's just an amazing fact that if you ask a woman about her clothing, she tells you about her life.
We workshopped it over and over, and every time it was worse. Then Linda Lavin said yes to playing the part of Gingy, and with that bit of casting suddenly the play worked.
It's undeniably a woman's experience, and I don't feel ashamed of that. I don't think women's stories are told enough, especially in the movies. Even the romantic comedies these days, it's about the guys. But women are such great readers; you write and they embrace it. –Kay Kipling

New York, NY, 10012, United States
Sitting down in the ultra-swank Kittichai on the ground floor of 60 Thompson Hotel in SoHo, you might get the impression that the restaurant itself is flirting with you. With the low, colored lighting, dark wood, jewel-toned Thai silks, exotic goldfish, and orchid-filled reflecting pool, the dining area seduces, making Kittichai ideal for a romantic outing. If that doesn't work, just sink your teeth into such Thai-inspired dishes as crispy rock shrimp in palm sugar-tamarind sauce, green papaya and mango salad with chili cashew dressing, or coconut-braised short ribs.
Insider Tip:
The Thom Bar, loosely affiliated with Kittichai and occupying the rooftop terrace space of 60 Thompson, is a great choice for pre or post-dinner drinks.

Like that primitive art, the surfaces of Neri's sculptures have been eroded. They are pitted and pockmarked in places, smoothly polished in others. These polished areas are either the natural golden color of the bronze or have been painted with vivid colors. The polychromatic handling of the sculptures, like their basic forms, was inspired by art history. Notes Neri, "The ancient Greeks painted their sculptures."
But the use of color in sculpture is also a natural outgrowth of ceramics, the medium that first occupied Neri in art school. It was during his school days in California, he says, that the work of a classmate, Peter Voulkos (who would later become one of the most important ceramic artists in the world), came to impress Neri. It wasn't Voulkos's style--abstract expressionism--but rather "his command of the materials and his respect for the demands of the materials" that Neri says he found most moving.
Neri's mastery of his own materials is well illustrated in his life-size sculptures, four of which anchor and dominate the Robischon show. The spontaneous gestures Neri created in the plaster originals are perfectly preserved in the transition to bronze, and the bronzes themselves have been expertly finished. Each of the four standing female figures has a featureless face, furthering Neri's universalist aims. And one is more beautiful than the next, even though their androgynous broad shoulders and small breasts make them barely anatomically correct.
In the sculpture "Untitled," the female figure conveys a totemic presence. She blindly stares straight ahead, her face a simple smear that has been additionally obscured by a heavy coat of white oil enamel paint resembling a veil. Much of the torso also has been painted, in both white and yellow enamels.
In spite of the lack of detail and the unexpected and unnatural colors, Neri achieves a lifelike feel by the casual pose the figure strikes. In this case, both arms and legs are crossed in a relaxed stance. Subtly different casual postures are imparted by the other three large sculptures, "Prietas Series V," "Untitled Standing Figure No. 7" and "Ostraca."
Like the larger works, the smaller sculptures are concerned with the female nude, and they're every bit as good. Again the figures are minimally detailed and have typically been decorated with oil enamels (though a few feature the more traditional approach to finishing bronze, patination). But in comparison to the life-size nudes, these sculptures are fragmentary. Some are missing arms and legs, while others are partly submerged in architectonic forms. In both cases, the reference to antiquity is easy to recognize.
In "Isla Negra Series II" and the very similar "Isla Negra Series III," the crouching figures emerge from slabs that form the backs of the sculptures. More than anything else in this show, these works reflect the influence of another sometime resident of Carrara, Michelangelo. Both "Isla Negra" pieces recall the later mannerist work of the Renaissance master, where the figure was conceived as though it was being revealed from within a block, instead of appearing to have been carved out of it.
Though still concerned with the female nude, the Neri drawings at Robischon are much more abstract than the sculptures--a few broad strokes of color minimally suggest the human figure. And despite being called drawings, these works are actually painted using dry pigments and oil paint sticks, relating in that way to the painted finishes of Neri's sculptures. Neri, however, says he doesn't do paintings. "If it's three-dimensional, it's a sculpture; if it's on paper, it's a drawing [and] paintings are done on canvas," he says. "I don't work on canvas."
The brightly colored figural sculptures and drawings by Neri remind us that the artist has long created work that anticipated the direction of recent contemporary art. But don't hold that against him. Neri never uses color, as have so many who came after him, to prop up second-rate work.
Along with the other representational artists active in San Francisco in the Fifties and Sixties, Neri was dismissed by critics of the time as too conservative, even old-fashioned. But those naysayers have been proven wrong. Given the events of the Eighties and Nineties--and judging from the Robischon exhibit, which is one of the best shows to hit Denver in years--Neri was actually forward-looking.

Brookbank's time at forward a message to Morin
BY MARK LAZERUS Staff Reporter November 9, 2013 6:54PM
Ottawa Senators right wing Erik Condra (22) is unable to get a shot on goal against Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Sheldon Brookbank (17) and goalie Nikolai Khabibulin during the first period of an NHL hockey game Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013, in Chicago. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
Updated: December 11, 2013 6:55AM
DALLAS — Having been a defenseman all his life, certain things just come naturally to Sheldon Brookbank. When the other team transitions, when an opponent winds up for a shot, when he sees the puck skittering along his own goal line, his instincts take over. It's muscle memory, reactions that have been ingrained in his mind and simply happen instantly.
Those innate instincts aren't there as a forward.
"It's a little foreign," Brookbank said. "You have to think a little bit."
Brookbank played right wing for the second consecutive game Saturday night in Dallas, and the third time in his Blackhawks career. Coach Joel Quenneville said it wasn't a long-term plan, but he clearly wanted to get Brookbank — who has fared well while splitting time with Michal Rozsival as the sixth defenseman — in more games, while sending a message to rookie Jeremy Morin, who was a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game.
Quenneville said that Morin's offensive instincts are sound, but that he needs to be better without the puck — a message he also is trying to deliver to second-line center Brandon Pirri.
For Brookbank, it's a little strange. But he'll take it.
"I like playing 'D' better," he said. "But I also like being in the lineup."
Brookbank played one shift in the first period Wednesday against Winnipeg, as Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa double-shifted a bit, but finished with 10 shifts and nearly as much ice time as the fourth-liners.
"He did a great job last game, as far as swinging into guys and taking the puck away and forcing guys to dump the puck," Kane said. "He made some nice chips along the wall, got the puck in. I'm sure that they recognized that and wanted to give him another shot at it."
Brookbank said he's had the best point of view of what forwards do from his spot at the point, and that he's maybe been more conscious of their responsibilities than other defensemen. But it's still quite an adjustment for a 31-year-old player.
"I feel sometimes like I'm just wasting energy," he said. "I don't know the tricks of the trade yet, but that'll come with time."
Roster report
Niklas Hjalmarsson, who left Friday's practice early with an upper-body injury, was fine and played.
◆ Michal Handzus (upper body) didn't make the trip, but is close to returning to practice.
◆ Coach Joel Quenneville wouldn't tip his hand for Sunday's home game against Calgary. Corey Crawford started back-to-back nights last weekend, and Nikolai Khabibulin hasn't played since being pulled halfway through a game against Ottawa on Oct. 29.

Great ADULT snack!
Take about 2 bags of gummy bears and store empty them into a bowl.
Take about a cup of vodka and pore it onto the gummy bears. Make sure the alcohol is about the same level as the gummy bears.
I didn't use vodka. I love sake so I used a sweet kind of desert wine. Use any kind of boos you want (i don't know about carbonated alcoholic drinks though).
cover bowl with plastic wrap or a top and let sit for at least 24 hours. they gummy bears should swell.
Serve and enjoy!

I am sure that big box stores aren't the best place to purchase a bonsai...but the sentiment rock and the tree growing to the side seemed...whimsical to me. They had no liquid fertilize. Is there a better brand to look for when I go out shopping? |

Alright...had a friend give me the tip to remove the glued pebbles...but then searched glued pebbles...and seen that it is also suggested to repot. So...humidity drip tray as well? What size of a pot should one get compared to the size of their tree? |

> A slightly more advanced mix would be organic matter, inorganic filler and water retentive material in equal parts by volume. This mix would suffice for most conifers. Okay...this is like forgein language to me...so a mixture of 3rds right?!? So no simple bonsai soil...and you can get this where they sell soil for plants then... Sorry so many posts...this $10.88 plant...will be worth saving if I can...all over my not Irving able to pass up a sentiment rock in the pot... |
Cadillactaste, since nobody else has answered, I'll try. Take this with a grain of salt, b/c I'm a beginner myself. The mix you mentioned is the "gritty mix." 1 part fine pine bark, one part Turface or similar, 1 part crushed granite, all particles between 1/8 and 1/4". There's a ton of information on these forums, esp. in the container gardening one. Do some reading, it'll help you in the long run. However, my advice, after doing what I said: try to find a pre-made gritty mix at a nearby store, or order some online. If you make it yourself, a lot of sources come in 50lb bags, so you might end up with 150lbs for one little bonsai. Good luck! |

Thanks Andrew...it seems to be thriving. So I am going to plan to try and get this tree through winterisation outdoors this winter...then repotting and putting in better quality of soil for a juniper. |
- Posted by loveplants2 8b Virginia Beach, (My Page) on Sun, Nov 10, 13 at 0:23
I make my own gritty mix, but if you just need a little, you could find a brand called Hoffman Bonsai Mix at most garden centers. It is about 8.99 for a small bag, but it will be fine for what you are using it for. Then if you want to make larger quantities , then you can search out the Grit, Turface and the Firbark!! I agree.. Keep it healthy until spring to repot. Good luck!!! Laura |

I posted this over in Plumbing also...
I'm trying to replace the hoses on my clothes washer - just moved to this place and noticed that one of the hoses leaks when I turn on the water (it was off when I first moved in). It leaks where the hose connects to the water supply faucet (not where it connects directly to the washer). However, I CANNOT remove the old hoses. I had my boyfriend try with channel locks, and they just didn't budge. It almost looks like the hoses are melded on to the spigots. Is there a way to loosen the old hoses? Lubricant? Or do I just need to call a plumber? Any help appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need a new boyfriend. |
Channel locks, a pipe wrench, or vise grips should all work. Are you sure you are turning them the right way? |
Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. Use one wrench on the faucet to hold it and one on the hose and bear away. if you ruin it... well you were going to replace it anyway. |
This kind of stuff happens. DH couldn't get a valve under his mother's kitchen sink to budge. Called in a plumber and with all the tools available to him, he couldn't get it to budge either. He had to call in a second guy to help him. And even then they worked for some time on it and I think they ended up cutting it off. |
try some wd40 overnight...and try again. |
Not a boyfriend. You need a manfriend. Penetrating oil overnight. You could even try heating it with a propane torch. Judiciously of course, and it does depend on the surroundings. I'd first cut the hose off the stuck coupling. If you can't unthread it, one time I used a hacksaw to cut through the metal of the hose-end coupling, then peeled it back a bit, then it unthreaded off with vise-grips. |
"If you can't unthread it, one time I used a hacksaw to cut through the metal of the hose-end coupling, then peeled it back a bit, then it unthreaded off with vise-grips." The threads on a hose coupling play no part in sealing the joint except to hold the hose washer tight against the face of the hose bib. Slight damage to the threads from making a cut through the coupling will not cause a problem. WD-40 is not a penetrating oil and will not do very much. Liquid Wrench remains the old standby, but it works better on steel fasteners than brass or copper. |

If you have high alkaline deposits in your area,(white deposits around the connects), you might try some distilled vinegar soaking awhile if possible. |
- Posted by tofu_flavored (My Page) on Sat, May 22, 10 at 10:50
I've tried the Liquid Wrench. The problem is that the connection is in a small niche, and they are at this angle that makes getting liquid up into them difficult. I actually tried to "inject" the oil into the connection using a hypodermic needle and syringe, but it didn't seem to work - I could see the oil just pooling and running down the faucet. I may try to heat it. I do appreciate all the advice! |
If you are trying the propane heating method after you put oil on.........well,, I wouldn't do that....especially what happened the first time. It was real exciting though. |
- Posted by tofu_flavored (My Page) on Wed, May 26, 10 at 16:18
Here's the outcome, $150 later! I had a plumber over. He managed to remove one hose from the faucet using a LOT of strength (and he turned the water on and banged the faucet to loosen things). The other faucet - well, the hose wouldn't come off and he had to replace the whole bib/faucet thing. Now I can do laundry. :) Thanks again for all the suggestions! |

Mila Kunis Joins the Dior Family
The next leading lady to represent Christian Dior is Mila Kunis, who will appear in a series of ads starting January 29. The actress—known for her stint on That '70s Show and acclaimed role in Black Swan—has been a fan of the French fashion house for years.
"In my daily life, I don't wear the most feminine pieces. But I love to feel feminine when I'm on the red carpet," the star told WWD. "I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house. I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful."
Kunis will certainly be in good company. Not only is she joining Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman (who has been featured in Miss Dior Cherie commercials for the last year) as a brand ambassador, but also Charlize Theron, Mélanie Laurent, Sharon Stone, Marion Cotillard, Jude Law and Alain Delon.
We have always admired Mila's risk-taking red carpet style and think she will be a worthy addition to Dior's roster of celebrities. She certainly looks lovely photographed here, with new versions of the Miss Dior handbag. What do you think of the pictures? Are you excited to see Mila's first major ad campaign?

Welcome to Royal Portrush
Posted: 28th June 2012
Just a quick blog before the big event starts here! It's great to have the event at my home course and I'm just bursting with pride to see it all taking shape on my doorstep.
On Wednesday I played in the pro-am with Shane Filan, my dad Godrey and eldest son Tyrone and I have to say I was a very proud man standing on that first tee. Shane and Tyrone played very well, dad not so well with age catching up on him! Tyrone had eight pars and two birdies and cost me a few quid because Chubby and I had promised him money for pars and birdies!
The response from all my fellow professionals has been fantastic towards the course and this is the very first time that they have pre-sold all the tickets for an event…..ever!
The forecast for the week is for four days of inclement weather so the course will be bearing its teeth and making things very interesting.
I hope everyone that is here watching and all those watching on tv will enjoy it as much as we all will.
A special thank you to the European Tour and to Wilma Erskine and all the members of her team at Royal Portrush for the hard work they have done and the understanding they have shown alongside the Tour to present the course in amazing condition.
Enjoy and I shall report in again next week. Darren.
Chubby's Corner
The former European Tour golfer and ISM founder looks into the world of golf, life on the world's fairways and the fortunes of his stable.
Latest Article:

Overall my ambitions are to foster goodwill through the game of golf and to show children all over Ireland that golf is a great game, it's a healthy game which promotes integrity and honesty and can be played by people of all ages.

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."
- Samuel Adams
Over the course of our lives, we've witnessed extraordinary progress in science, technology, and medicine. Yet these advances have been accompanied by disturbing, unprecedented increases in the numbers of obese and diabetic Americans. These conditions, in turn, increase the risk of virtually every major chronic disease, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
The seemingly simple question of what constitutes a healthy diet – what should we eat to live long and active lives? – has been mired in endless controversy. The conventional wisdom certainly doesn't seem to be helping – perhaps because it is either incorrect or because few can follow it.
In April 2011, after a brief email correspondence, we met in person for the first time. Sitting in a cafe in Oakland, California, we talked about our personal and professional obsessions with diet and health, and about this national failure to successfully address the ongoing epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
We agreed that the medical research establishment has not provided definitive, unambiguous answers to these unresolved questions of diet and health. Despite billions of dollars spent on medical research, the experiments necessary had never been done, having been perceived as either too expensive, too difficult, or simply not worth the effort.
Our solution was to create an organization that would finally provide the full resources – regardless of cost or technical risk – necessary for independent researchers to do the demanding science that can indeed answer these controversial but critical questions, once and for all.
With that specific objective, we founded Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI) in 2012.
We are not invested in particular outcomes. We are invested in finding scientifically sound solutions. We are also fully committed to communicating the results of this research to scientists, policy makers, advocacy groups, the media, and the general public. We look forward to the day when NuSI is no longer necessary, when – with the full support of rigorous science – we can choose with informed confidence what we and our families need to eat to be healthy.
We thank you for your interest in NuSI and your consideration in facilitating significant impactful change within your own lifetime.

Figueirense made another tie at Thursday at home against Coritiba (0-0). For the moment they can not approach the top five positions that leads the next Copa Libertadores. But they remain at a safe distance from the relegation zone, while away from home are unbeaten for about two months. For Figueirense this game is very important, since they play against opponents that are relatively close to them to the scoreboard. Edson Silva is back to the squad and they will field the best line up available.
Figueirense comes from a very good streak away from home and has every right to hope for even a three-pointer. Ceara with huge absences against a full Figueirense that goes well to the league, the value is with the away team.

Hi all,
We have a bunch of TVs in our house. We live out in the country and just have an antenna on the top of the house. I think we have an amplifier in the attic, and coaxial cables that go to all the different rooms. Could I get by with just one converter box, or will I need one for each TV? If we can't get some satilite services out here because of our woody location, does that mean that we might have trouble getting a good DTV signal??? Cable isn't available to us either. God this change really ticks me off. I won't be able to listen to our local TV news station in the car anymore either. I'm fairly electronically challenged, so please talk very slowly and use simple words. hahaha Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could use one DTV tuner for all your TVs if you only want to watch the same channel on all of them at any one time. You would need to feed the DTV tuner before you split off the signal to the TVs. This means it is likely you would need to place the DTV tuner in your attic or basement. Not very convenient. You don't want that. You do really want a DTV tuner for each TV, or at least most of them. How many TVs do you really use? Your question about getting a good DTV signal because of trees is a good one. Most people in the US have to aim their DirecTv and DishTV dishes to the Southwest. Are your TV stations the same or are they in a different direction or in multiple directions? Over the air reception is very difficult to give an answer to. There are many variables including, distance from transmitters, quality of antenna, quality of cables, quality of amplifier, direction antenna is aimed, terrain between you and transmitters, just to name the first ones that come to mind. |

Thanks jdbillp, It embarrasses me to say, but we have about 6 TVs in the house. We would need to watch different channels at the same time on them. I would hate to spend alot of money on all the converter boxes, only to find out they don't work well. I guess I should just get one at a time. But I'm not sure what the alternative would be, if that first one doesn't work well. Yes, most signals for us come from the south-southwest, and that's where most of the trees are, plus a little valley. One more question........A good working antenna will still be important, right? The motor on our rotor isn't working. Fortunately, when it died, the antenna was in a good position for most of the stations. Will that make any difference with the digital signals? Sorry if my ignorance is showing. |
Proper antenna aiming is more critical on DTV than analog TV. The converter boxes themselves are pretty easy to move and hook up. With your mother's TV, most DTV capable TV's have some type of DTV sticker on the front or rear indicating DTV capability. |

as far as the mom's tv, go in the setup and see if it has a search for digital signal option. if so, then let it do it and see what all it gets. at my house i can pickup 2 analog stations only. my digital tuners pickup 7 digital stations, though 2 of those are subchannels of one of the analogs. my FIL and his dad each picked up 3-4 analog channels, but when they got their convertors they gained a couple new channels in addition to the sub channels of stations they already got. call teh DTV hotline and get your coupons. then go pick up 2 boxes practically for free. this will let you know how well your signal will be. as with anything else, the cheapest boxes usually have the poorest features/reception, so get a decent box. i tried 2 different ones at my house on teh same antenna and the el cheapo did not get a couple of the channels whiel the mid price one got them all. |
Which DTV tuner did you like the best? |

Thanks jdbillp and davidandkasie. When we added on to our house about 12 years ago, we got a new antenna (since our old one was destroyed in an ice storm), and a rotor and then had coaxials put to all of the rooms. At that time, it was a TV installation-type company that did the work. They aren't in business anymore. Who would I call to take a look at this antenna and maybe install a new rotor? Seems like there aren't too many antenna people around anymore. One more thing.......after the converter box is connected, will we still be able to have a VCR and a DVD connected to the TV too? |
You should be able to connect the DTV tuner in line before the VCR. Just connect it this way. 1. Cable from the antenna to the DTV input. 2. Cable from the DTV output to VCR input. 3. Cable from VCR output to TV antenna input. |

i honestly don't know what they were. it was a couple my FIL had. right after that i got a new TV with built in tuner and an HD DVR from Directv, so i don't use any convertors now. |

Thanks jdbillp. |
jdbillp wrote: > Which DTV tuner did you like the best? I can add two data points. On my older TV (32" 4:3 Panasonic Superflat), I have a Channel Master CM-7000 - which is a 'coupon eligible' digital converter box. On my newer 16:9 HD set, I have been using an older Samsung SIR-T451 HD tuner for the past few years. A lot of the home theater types like the CM-7000 because it is one of the only coupon eligible boxes that has an s-video output. Anything 'better' (i.e., supporting high definition formats) would not be coupon eligible. It seems well made, but is a bit more expensive than most CECBs. Around here it is about $70, so with the coupon nets out to $30. The CM-7000 is a lot more sensitive than the Samsung, in that I can get several more channels with the same antenna. But I would assume that newer Samsungs are better than old ones. Even though the Panasonic has a decent 3D comb filter in it, it is still good to use the s-video capabilities of the CM-7000 over composite. Maybe a fluke to my set, but the comb filter adds a bit 'buzz' to the audio. So I am much better off using s-video whenever possible and leaving the comb filter turned off. Both boxes have a wonderful picture when the digital locks up. Of course the Samsung supports full HD, whereas the CM-7000 is stuck at 480i. Which box(es) do you use? |
Our main set is a Sony 57" RPJ with a digital tuner built in. But our 2nd set is an old 27" Sony converted by the Best Buy Insignia NS-DXA1. It is the same as the Zenith DTT-900 and I believe both are made by LG. It works OK but I wish it had a better channel menu. |

I have a newfound love for all things blue-green, and it's all because of the photo above which I came across on Lonny while searching for bedroom decor inspiration. While painting a wall or using wallpaper in this color might be way out of my comfort zone, I am positively smitten over its ability to brighten any space, and I think that even the smallest of accessories in this color would freshen up the room immensely. What do you think? Would you be so bold as to paint an entire room in this color?
PS. A very happy, happy birthday to my sweet sister Sarah who turns 21 today! She is one of the most beautiful people I have ever known and words cannot explain how proud I am to call her my sister! xo

Detailed study of controversial CEP program shows that the overwhelming majority of students succeed at Sciences Po and go on to well-paid, secure jobs
In 2001, Sciences Po implemented a pioneering program to bring greater social and ethnic diversity to the student body. In a departure from its admissions practices, the Paris-based institution, France's leading university for social sciences, invited high schools in deprived areas of France to become partners and put forward their most-promising students.
The policy attracted considerable controversy. One recurrent criticism was that this French version of U.S. "affirmative action" would fail, because the students wouldn't be able to keep up with their peers at Sciences Po, or that they would be stigmatized as "second class" graduates and struggle to find employment.
Ten years later, 860 students have attended Sciences Po through this program, known as the Conventions Education Prioritaire (the "Priority Education Conventions"), and six cohorts have graduated. The CEP students currently account for about 10% of the annual undergraduate intake. The number of high schools participating has grown to 85, and about 20 companies are sponsoring the project.
Now, a detailed study of how these students fare at Sciences Po and what happens to them once they graduate provides the first scientific assessment of the program. The study, by Vincent Tiberj, a well-known French sociologist at the Centre d'Etudes Européennes research institute, focuses on the six classes of CEP students who graduated between 2006 and 2011. In looking at their performance on the labor market, he compared the beginnings of their professional careers with all the Sciences Po students who graduated in 2009. Among his conclusions:
"The Priority Education Conventions have proved their worth," Mr. Tiberj's report concludes. "To sum up, these former students are not considered like "cut-price Sciences Po" graduates. Quite the contrary, employers treated them either like their peers, or perhaps better."
Listing some of the program's principal merits, he writes: "They have made it possible to select the desired students, a large majority of whom are from working class backgrounds. This is not 'smoke and mirrors'. The students who were admitted through this program had more difficulties than their classmates in adapting to Sciences Po, but in the end the very large majority obtained their degrees and now are employed in "classic" jobs for Sciences Po graduates."
Sciences Po, founded in 1871, is France's leading university for the social sciences. Its alumni include a Secretary General of the United Nations, four Managing Directors of the International Monetary Fund, numerous corporate leaders, 10 of France's last 18 Prime Ministers, and the three most recent Presidents of the Republic. Today, 40% of the 10,000 students are international, from 130 countries.
The usual admissions procedure for French students to Sciences Po requires them to sit an entrance examination in the same year that they take their baccalaureate school-leaving examination. The CEP students must sit the baccalaureate but are not required to take the Sciences Po written exam. Instead, Sciences Po's partner high schools put forward promising candidates, who submit a written paper on a current affairs topic. They are then interviewed. Successful applicants usually receive substantial financial aid that covers their Sciences Po tuition fees and, depending on their family's income, can receive additional bursaries to cover living expenses.

The closing time varies based on the time of year. It's open later in the summer and other "peak" times and they close earlier in the off seasons.
Woah. On the Disney World website, the hours on the calendar for the Magic Kingdom say it only stays open until 11... Usually it's open until 12, oh and I'm referring to the end of March. Anyone know if it's gonna change to the extra hour? I mean, so much can get done in an hour!:mickey:
./.// / Eric /. / /
Tell me about it, Jas, MK is closing at 9 when I'm going...oh well. At least I get the after-hours party until 3 am in MK and MGM with...cheerleaders!!!!
Por favor mantanganse alijado de las puertas.
I've been there before - we went in February (about the 2nd or 3rd week) for the last 2 or 3 years because our county went on a "balanced calendar" and we had that week off - can full sympathize witht the MK closing early and cheerleaders (though, you're a guy - so you may not be upset about that ). Can't go this year because of college. *rolls eyes*
Not at all! Partying until 3 am with cheerleaders!! Either Christmas has come real early or i'm getting a birthday present a couple days late!!!!Originally Posted by Princess Jas

NO, you didn't miss any BIOS setings. Please indicate the amount and full configuration of RAM on your computer.
The RAM speed automatically is configured based on the RAM SPD and RAM population. You may try using one stick of GSkill 1600MHz only and see what speed the BIOS reports. If this reports 1600... add another stick and repeat. If using mixed memory modules, the computer usually select the the slower common speed.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

The Formosa motherboard can run either the Intel Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processors. If your PC has the Intel Sandy Bridge processor then 1333 is all that you will see. If you are running the Intel Ivy Bridge processor then all of the dimms need to be 1600 mhz dimms (same CAS required) to ensure that the dimms will bind up at the maximum speed rating.
Custom motherboards will allow faster speeds with dimms using XMP but typically the faster speeds are over clocking the dimms. Even without using XMP faster speeds can be obtained using manual timing and voltage adjustments. HP doesn't give consumer motherboards over clocking choices except in rare occasions.

Dutch MVNO Sizz, owned by RTL Nederland together with Vodafone Nederland have launched its own Digital Fashion Bag, a website where women can swap clothing.
Customers can post their own bag of clothes on the website, and they will then receive a code with which they can redeem by purchasing another bag on the site.
Sizz has stated they have conducted a survey of 240 women and found that those aged between 20-40 shop monthly, if not weekly.
The fashion bag offer will run until 15 September.
Sizz Mobile
The aim of this new MVNO was masterminded by RTL Nederland together with Vodafone Nederland is not to replace existing providers, but to offer what has been missing in the market: a product targeted at female consumers.
Sizz, was launched on the 3rd of February 2011, is the fruit of extensive market research which enabled the two Dutch market leaders to identify the need for an easier-to-use and more accessible mobile phone product. The slogan of Sizz, "da's lekker mobiel" (Sizz, enjoy the mobile life) perfectly transcribes the new provider's intended purpose.
Sizz also gives them access to exclusive offers. The Sizz app allows them to watch a selection of RTL programmes such as RTL Boulevard, Editie NL and Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden, for free and without ads. GTST episodes can be viewed as sneak previews a day before they are broadcast on TV, and subscribers get priority for tickets to RTL events.

Every playoff matchup will receive a once-over prior to puck drop this week, including Bourne's prediction, explanation and final thought on each. He does not hate your team. He does not love your team. He is just talking hockey.
Previously: #4 Nashville Predators vs. #5 Detroit Red Wings
#1 Vancouver Canucks vs. #8 Los Angeles Kings
Season matchup: Tied 2-2
Who wins the series: The Canucks
How many games: Six
Please do explain:
Will do.
First, the lopsided facts: When the Canucks are ahead of the Kings in a statistical category, they're ahead by light years. When the Kings are ahead, it's by nanoseconds.
The Vancouver Canucks finished the regular season 5th in the NHL in goals-per-game with 2.94, while the Kings finished in 29th, with 2.29.
That's hardly balanced out by the fact that the Kings finished 2nd in goals-against-per-game (2.07) while the Canucks were 4th (2.33).
The Canucks are 13 spots ahead of the Kings in powerplay percentage (that's a lot), while the Kings are two spots ahead of the Canucks in penalty kill percentage (that's not). The Canucks won the President's Trophy as the NHL team with the most regular season points, while the Kings survived a dog fight to get into the playoffs.
Fine, yes, numbers and all that. Let's actually talk about these teams.
This series is going to be closer than it sounds for a few reasons. For one, the Kings are much improved offensively since they traded Jack Johnson to the Blue Jackets for sniper Jeff Carter. They finished strong down the stretch.
Also, the Canucks are starting the series without last year's Art Ross Trophy winner Daniel Sedin. While the Canucks are 8-1 without Sedin this year, the type of person who thinks you're better off without one of the League's best players is the type of person who should wear a helmet to eat cereal.
On top of that, the Canucks always possess the ability to find themselves in the midst of a goalie controversy, so a hot start by the Kings could really whip the Canucks fanbase (and team) into a confused frenzy.
But still….
That ain't enough for it to actually happen.
The Canucks are built to be a bitch to play against in playoffs with two-way studs like Ryan Kesler, David Booth, Jannik Hansen, Sammy Pahlsson, Chris Higgins and others. And again, they're playing a team that's had offensive issues when they weren't playing the League's most responsible forwards.
They can get offense from a variety of places, especially when you consider that their d- corps' has the ability to (and is willing to, something not all d-men are) quickly transition the puck up-ice to get the biscuit in the hands of their numerous skilled forwards.
And, regardless of who's in net, they have fantastic goaltending. The Kings do to in Jonathan Quick of course, but when you're counting on your goaltender to be a major advantage for you, facing Roberto Luongo (or Corey Schneider) isn't exactly your best-case scenario for gaining ground.
The Canucks have too much going for them to fumble this one in the first round
What I'm excited to find out:
How Luongo performs in the early going.
He's "fantastic" as I just said, I just wonder if last year's playoff experience is going to make him better, or worse. He's always fun to watch when the pressure's on.
Final thought:
That list of two-way forwards above is pretty dense, which leads me to believe the Canucks use advanced stats. It's tough to track down that many guys that are good both ways when you're just guessing using the old eye-test. Good luck facing that group when you desperately need a goal.

Whenever a new year starts I look back on the books I've read and try and think about what I liked the most, and what I'm most looking forward to in the upcoming year. Working in publishing is great for many reasons, but being able to talk with coworkers just as passionate and knowledgeable about the world of literature is perhaps the best part. I decided to poll some of these coworkers to see what they read in 2012 and find out what they liked best, and what they're looking forward to tackling in 2013. See what we read after the break!
I am a frequent sinner in the kitchen, and I'm not afraid to say that the boys of Red Hook, Brooklyn's Baked Bakery are in a way my lords and saviors. Through their first book with Stewart, Tabori & Chang, Baked, they have taken me from burning poorly-mixed cookies to making elaborate peanut butter bars. I should confess that I'm more often than not relegated to sous-chef by my much more talented partner-in-crime, but even then my skills have been improving thanks to Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito's accessible and delicious recipes. Their new book Baked Elements is out this month and charts the boys' 10 favorite ingredients with a few recipes for each. In celebration of its release, Abrams is blogging employees' attempts to "pull off" one recipe per ingredient until we've tackled all 10 ingredients, and I was first at bat.
This week marked both the peak and the end of the New York International Gift Fair—a whirlwind experience of soaps, fragrances, artisanal jewelry, throw pillows, beautiful furniture, and books!
For those of us easily won over by sentiment, the Holiday Season is a time of overwhelming emotion. Whether it's nostalgia, joy, or a soul-filling sense of love, the Holiday Season evokes reactions in all—and especially me. I know I'm getting a bit weepy over here, but the best part about a city like New York during this time of year is a palpable attitude shift that begins as soon as decorations are hung about the streets. Walking down 7th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn (the place I call home) is a whole different experience than it was a month ago with lights strung across the street and all the local businesses doing their part in transforming the street into a festive play land.
Well hello again, friends.
This is the second entry in my quest to explore all that New York City has to offer by way of Independent Bookshops, and this time we're going full-on child. Oh yeah, that's right, it's time for BOOKS OF WONDER! Working in the Sales Department at ABRAMS has meant that I've heard of Books of Wonder many times; whether for an event, an order, or just for its glee-filled reputation Books of Wonder has always been in the back of my mind. And yet, I'd never been. Thankfully this blog provided me with just the opportunity I needed.
This is the first in an occasional series profiling NYC (and surrounding area) book stores. Here, Matthew Dinda, sales assistant, talks up the wonders of The Strand and its 18 miles of books.
One of the major difficulties I faced when moving from suburbia to NYC's urban jungle was finding a new bookstore to frequent. I am a loyalist when it comes to my bookstores, and after finding the one I love I will refuse to shop anywhere else (unless I can't find what I'm looking for!) New York has much to offer in the way of independent bookstores, and some of them are among the most well-known in the country. What better way to find a bookstore I love than to explore as many as I can? I decided that it's probably best to start with the one that tugs at my tote-bag-loving heart strings every morning on the subway: Strand Books.
Sales Assistant Matthew Dinda gives us an inside peek at the great work he and other ABRAMS staffers do for the Children's Book Council and the Council's Early Career Committee. Jason Wells, executive director of children's marketing and publicity, and Susan Van Metre, publisher for Abrams Books for Young Readers, Amulet Books and Abrams Appleseed, are also involved.

BALTIMORE -- Led by Machel Millwood and Adauto Neto, the Baltimore Blast improved to 8-0 Friday night with a 10-6 win over the visiting Wichita Wings in front of a crowd of 6,624 fans at 1st Mariner Arena. Millwood and Neto each recorded a goal and assist for the Blast, who took their second victory against the Wings this season.
Despite Baltimore carrying the majority of the game, the Wings jumped out to a 2-0 lead on their first shot of the game as Alex Moseley found the back of the net early in the first quarter. After missing the last two games with a groin injury, Blast forward Lucio Gonzaga returned to the playing field tonight and scored his fifth goal of the season to tie the score 2-2 midway through the second quarter, but the Wings were able to regain the lead before the halftime break as Miguel Ferrer struck off an assist by Andrew Hoxie, putting Wichita up 4-2.
The Blast were able to get back on level terms just 33 seconds into the second half as Max Ferdinand tied the game at 4-4. The Blast then struck again in the final minute of the quarter as Tony Donatelli scored with eight seconds to play to give the Blast their first lead of the game at 6-4.
Millwood added to the Blast's lead 27 seconds into the fourth quarter, making it 8-4 with his ninth goal of the season. The Wings stayed in touch as Freddy Moojen cut the Blast's lead to 8-6 with a power play goal with just under four minutes to play, but Neto sealed the victory with a power play goal with less than 30 seconds to go on Millwood's ninth assist of the season.
The Blast have kicked off their 33rd season of professional indoor soccer in Baltimore with eight straight wins and are looking to match the 1993-94 Baltimore Spirit squad's record of 10 straight wins to open the season. They return to action next weekend as they host the Missouri Comets on Saturday, December 15 at 7:35 p.m. at 1st Mariner Arena. The Wings, meanwhile, move on to face the Syracuse Silver Knights on Saturday night at 7 p.m. to complete their weekend trip.

The Pratt family's ancestors started farming the lands of Camden Farm more than 300 years ago, and the family wants to preserve the land as a working farm. A local farmer now manages the growing and harvesting of crops.

Hey Guys, new member here. I just finished work on my new condo, and since I've spent so much time searching through these forums for ideas and information, I figured I'd post the results. To be honest, it's not 100% finished yet, I still need to finish the closet and put a shelf/cabinet above the bar, and add some undercabinet lighting in the kitchen, but aside from that she's done.
I really have no idea where to start here, so I suppose an explanation is as good of a place as any. About a year ago now, I purchased an unfinished condo unit in a building that has been converted from an old warehouse in the downtown area of my city. The condo building consists of over 50 units and is owned by a contractor who sells finish units, but I told them that the only way I'd buy a unit was if I could build it to my specifications and do the work myself, and they agreed. It's taken much longer than I could have ever imagined (largely due to me being swamped at work and the condo not being a priority), but finally I will be moving in within the next month (I hope...). As I said, part of the reason I'm posting this is because I learned so much from this site so I wanted to say thank you in my own small way. Also I'm hoping you can provide me with some input on the next (and scarier) stage...decorating. I've got a lot of pictures and information to go with them, so I will break this down into several posts. We'll start with a drawing of the floorplan, and I'll make subsequent posts for the individual areas, then tie it all together with some shots of everything The unit is about 1000sqft and is set up as a studio apartment. At the time of purchase, there was a wall separating the space into a bedroom and living room, but I removed it in favor of a studio setup. It's not going to appeal to everyone, but as a single guy I really like it.
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is the Kitchen, taken from the main room towards the door. Here is a link to a gallery containing some more pictures: LINK |
Next we'll move to the wet bar. I was originally going to just have a dining table in this corner but decided that was boring, and the water lines were already in the wall, so I figured the heck with it, I'll just build wet bar. More pictures can be found here: LINK |
Finally we've come to the bathroom. This is an area where I may have gotten a little carried away. Funny how something can start relatively simple and just keep snowballing. More pictures: LINK |
Now that I've got the individual rooms/areas out of the way, here is the main room. As I mentioned, the bar lights are retrofitted with LEDs, but the wall scones I designed and built from scratch. I machined an aluminum housing body and fitted it with the same LED pucks used in the bar lights. Then I machined some arms to fit onto the housing and used some 1/4" aluminum square material and milled a narrow groove down the length to allow a 1/16" thick sheet of translucent white acrylic to be slid in, then bent around to the other side. The place is equipped with the RadioRa 2 lighting and shade control system, allowing me to turn on/off and adjust the lights and shades with the wall switches, remote keypads, or my iphone/ipad. The floors are Armstrong Canadian Maple and the walls are Olympic brand color Dover Grey, and the wall behind the bed is from the same palette, just one shade darker called Knights Armor. I don't remember the name of the white used on the ceiling and trim, but it was the whitest white I could find. |
Looks like a great space you have created. Enjoy it! |

Wow it's fantastic! I hope you like having guests, because no one will ever want to leave. Love all the choices, from the backsplash to the bathroom light. |
Great job! Thanks for sharing the finished project. |
Thanks for the compliments guys. It's amazing how a project can start out one way and completely shift over time as you find new things to incorporate into the design. It's taken a long time and I did end up spending more money than I'd planned, but I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out. Does anyone have any criticisms or suggestions on things I could do to improve the place, or ideas on furnishings or decor/colors? I designed the place to be very neutral so I could do just about whatever I wanted decor-wise, but I'm a typical guy and that type of stuff is well beyond me. Robin, the walls are all very well insulated. I only actually share one wall with a neighbor, and it is a double studded plumbing wall (kitchen side). The other 2 sides are hallway, and the north wall is bisected by a stairwell that gets next to no use. |
Nice! Very nice. Not my style at all but I can definitely see my 25 year old single nephew living there quite happily. The folks over on the Gardenweb decorating forum can probably give you some great advice re choosing furnishings so you might want to repost over there. But before you go, two things jump out at me that kind of bother me about your current furnishings. One is the desk that sticks out about 5 inches beyond the edge of the laundry closet wall. The other is that black file cabinet that sticks out a couple of inches into the closet door space. Having those two things not quite fit into their assigned spaces just looks/feels like poor planning to me. If you can't find a desk that actually fits, have you considered putting a bookcase against the end of the laundry closet? Get one about the same width as that wall, and paint it to match the wall. Then, set a nice healthy green plant (maybe a corn plant aka dragon tree) in a nice big black ceramic pot on the floor on the right side of the bookcase (next to the corner of the desk) and that would totally disguise the fact that the desk doesn't quite fit. Add a nice healthy pot of philodendron on top of the bookcase on the left hand side for balance and a bright piece of artwork above the bookcase. As for the black file cabinet, I'd just move it somewhere else. Maybe to a spot against the brick wall just to the kitchen side of that red support beam. Or, try turning the file 90 degrees so that the drawers face the bed. It might fit better that way tho you'd have to make sure that you have enough room between it and the bed to open the drawers. As for furnishings, I'd suggest keeping them simple and uncluttered and stick with the black/grey colors for the main pieces. Maybe something like one of these: http://www.syahdiar.org/3602-apollo-bachelor-pad-modern-house-design/view-3602-apollo-minimalist-living-room-furnitureq.html http://www.beinteriordecorator.com/contemporary-black-and-grey-sofa-and-loveseat-set-2-pcs/ http://www.furnitureclue.com/blog/two-toned-grey-black-leather-contemporary-living-room.html http://jogjaimage.com/2012/19/home-designs/stylish-and-comfortable-contemporary-living-room-furniture/attachment/contemporary-style-black-living-room-furniture/ http://www.esfwholesalefurniture.com/ [see image #4] Then, add impact with a selection of artwork with bright colors and bold graphics and maybe a brightly colored rug with a strong geometric pattern. Finally, for the sake of your female guests, soften it all ever so slightly with a selection of green plants - nothing small, fussy looking, or frilly so stay away from things like asparagus fern, violets, lillys, and spider plants. Instead, try corn plants, thick leaved aloe vera, philodendron, snake plants, and certain bromiliads. All are also exceptionally easy to keep alive. Then, keep everything pristine clean (something my aforementioned nephew would NEVER manage to do) and you'll have a bachelor pad that will knock the socks off your visitors. |

It definitely says bachelor pad. You need a big rug and a super soft sectional in a bright color. Do something unexpected for the color and style here. For the rug, find a really nice and worn looking antique oriental rug. For the sectional, don't go all chrome and leather. Fabric. And not the all too predicable primary red or blue. Maybe apple green or even fuchia. That would give it something unexpected and some softness. Something like this, with lots of colorful pillows. This brightly colored antique Kirman from Reza's Rug Gallery at 1st dibs has a lot of the right color, but the age gives it character. It's an investment piece at 12K, but you can use it as inspiration to shop locally. The important element is that it's a very traditional style and lots of color, which gives your condo that bit of the unexpected contrast against all of the rest of the modern elements and lack of color. If you have a local art college, there are plenty of low cost solutions to finding some large art that will work in the space. It just needs to have COLOR in a big way. The subject isn't important as long as isn't a naked lady on a bear rug. ;) This piece from Jose Basso, Nube en el Horizontez from Christopher Clark Fine art has a great feel to it, and it's a great big swathe of color. I'd leave off all of that bar and bath lighting except when you're doing football get togethers for the guys or a bachelor party. It will probably appeal to your buds quite a bit, but it's a little Austin Powers for 99% of most females. |
Bev, the desk is only temporary. Once I get more furniture moved in and figure out exactly what the layout will be, I will be building a custom desk. The file cabinet will likely be moved as well. Plants are definitely in order. I really like the Corn Plant and Snake Plant you mentioned, I will have to get some of those. Are there any decent places to order plants online? I'm not sure how good of a selection I'll be able to find around here, especially on exotic or unique stuff. GreenDesigns, I know you say stay away from leather and chrome, but I absolutely love the Le Corbusier LC3. I've looked at a lot of sofas, and I keep coming back to that. I actually found 2 Cassina loveseats for sale on Craigslist for a good price, but the lady has left me hanging for quite a while now and I don't think it's going to happen :( I think you may be right about the oriental rug though. I have been thinking of something bold and geometric, but one like you pictured would do a lot to soften the place up. I do plan on keeping the place very clean, and that might help provide a more lived in look. My sister's boyfriend is an amazing artist and right now he's working on a painting for me. It's a remake of this painting, depicting a scene from The Silmarillion, by JRR Tolkien, were Tuor discovers the hidden city of Gondolin. To me it conveys a sense of splendor and discovery and freedom and achievement. I did ask him about painting a naked lady lying on a bed eating pizza while reading Atlas Shrugged, but I was kidding (mostly). For color I'm thinking green, red, yellow and blue will go very well with everything. Part of the problem I have picking out art is that I like for it to mean something, somehow relate to me, or convey something specific. Doubtless I will have to settle for some paintings that are just there for color, but honestly the idea of random colors strewn onto a canvas seems pointless to me somehow. I guess I'm too much of a utilitarian. I do wonder about the colored lighting being a bit over the top. It just looks so cool... |

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning is also known as the 'silent killer'. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is very toxic even in small quantities. It is produced when a carbon fuel, such as gasoline or diesel is burned.
Carbon monoxide disperses freely through the air and will travel readily throughout a boat. It is discharged as engine, generator, or appliance exhaust may re-enter your boat through any opening.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are throbbing temples, inattentiveness of lack of concentration, inability to think coherently, ringing in the ears, tightness across the chest, headache, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, vomiting, collapse, and convulsions. Protect yourself from the silent killer and download and take with you the carbon monoxide brochure.
Do not let the temperature outside fool you. Cold water immersion and hypothermia can occur in water as cool as 70 degrees at any time of the year, even on a warm and sunny day. Arizona winters are mild, and recreational boating is popular year-round, but a sudden and unexpected immersion into cold water can cause hypothermia and even lead to a life-threatening situation.
Arizona winters are mild, and recreational boating is popular year-round, but an unexpected immersion into cold water can cause hypothermia and even lead to a life-threatening situation.
Entering extremely cold water causes an immediate gasp reflex that can fill the lungs with water. After falling overboard or entering the water, it is important to be wearing your life jacket (PFD). A life jacket keeps your head above water and your body on the surface.
Stay calm and move slowly. Don't try to take off clothing in the water (a common misconception is that heavy clothing or waders weigh down your body when in fact can trap air and help keep your body afloat).
If your boat has capsized stay with it. More than likely, it will not sink and it can be used as a platform to maneuver, so stay on top of it as much as possible, getting yourself out of the water and maintaining stability.
