Shockers include no nods for Kathryn Bigelow, John Hawkes
While in general the Academy Award nominations went as expected, the two exceptions were jaw dropping: No best director nomination for Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty) and no best actor nod for John Hawkes (The Sessions). Both of these omissions really have me steamed.
Bigelow was nominated for a DGA (Directors Guild of America), yet she lost out to the surprising nod to Benh Zeitlin for Beasts of the Southern Wild. The nods to Steven Spielberg and Ang Lee were expected, and it was great that David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook) beat out the other DGA nominee rightfully scorned by the Oscars, Tom Hooper (Les Miz). The nod for Cannes' big winner, Michael Haneke for Amour, was less of a surprise.
My guess is the fact that Bigelow's film suggests that torture worked in tracking down a lead to find Osama bin Laden was a factor in her losing out. Maybe I'm crazy but the torture controversy seems to be the only explanation that makes sense, although it didn't keep screenwriter Mark Boal from getting his original screenplay nod for the film being nominated for best picture.
As for John Hawkes losing out, that omission has me totally without an explanation, but perhaps it is merely sour grapes because I didn't think The Master was as impressive as other critics did. However, that said, Joaquin Phoenix is a worthy nominee for his performance in the film.
The biggest surprises when it comes to nominations received are the nods to child actress Quvenzhané Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild, making her the youngest nominee ever in this category at age nine. Of course it makes for a nice story line since 85-year-old nominee Emmanuelle Riva for Amour, is the oldest nominee ever in this category. The loser then was Marion Cotillard, who was thought to have this slot, joined by mortal locks Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence, plus Naomi Watts (The Impossible) and Riva.
With the 12 nominations for Lincoln, such a classic Oscar-style movie, Spielberg's intimate masterpiece has become the Academy Award frontrunner although my beloved Silver Linings Playbook took nominations in all the major categories, which puts it ahead of Life of Pi, despite 11 nominations for the latter.

Steve McQueen's brutally honest depiction of slavery in America based on a true story, '12 Years A Slave,' hits like a sledgehammer, in part because it suggests that films about slavery are rare because we are guilty of burying the shameful aspects of our history as well.
While there are the usual stone-cold lock Oscar nominees this year, the Academy is jumping the gun with its early announcement of nominations. This was done because the Academy members were sick and tired of all the other awards like the Golden Globes watering down the Oscar excitement by announcing its winners before the Oscar nominations were even released.
I don't like the term top movies of the year. Defining them as your favorite movies is more on point, but if you're a film critic you are not supposed to whine about how movie taste is subjective, not objective.
I've been a crafty film critic over the decades, which means I have learned to avoid movies that look horrible in the coming attractions. Of course some movies featuring major stars and high profiles simply can't be avoided.
Some would say being a Quentin Tarantino fan is a matter of taste, or perhaps in some minds, it's a matter of being swayed by his utter tastelessness. Put me in Camp Tarantino every day and twice on Sunday.
Now that the Academy Awards were announced yesterday (Jan. 10), moviegoers locally will finally get a chance to see two of the nominated films, the hunt for bin Laden in Zero Dark Thirty and the hunt for survivors after the horrifying 2004 tsunami in The Impossible.

Of the new album, Spin.com says:
Feel the Sound is Imperial Teen's first new album in five years, but you wouldn't know it from the sterling collection of beautifully arranged, melody-rich pop songs on display. The San Francisco-based band led by former Faith No More keyboardist Roddy Bottum shows no signs of rust on its fifth studio album, which we've got streaming for you in its entirety.
Stream Feel the Sound now at Spin.com
So many bands lose momentum and focus over time, but a little past its sweet sixteenth year of existence, Roddy Bottum, Lynn Perko Truell, Will Schwartz, and Jone Stebbins somehow grow both younger and wiser, connecting four characterful lives through creative friendship and deep trust, and forging a communal power that continues to grow stronger.
Imperial Teen have announced appearances at Noise Pop and SXSW with more to come!

Is Isla too close to Olivia?
My husband and I don't agree on this. He says that they're not 'too close' but I think they are. I've loved Isla for a long time but I just can't imagine sisters with names that close. Am I right or is he (based on your opinion)?
If you think they are too close I would love suggestions! Big sister's name is Olivia Li Mei and for a boy we've already picked Nathaniel, which was my grandfather's name. Thank you in advance for any help!my babies:

04 December 2009
A partnership between a world-leading research group at Cardiff University and an Oxford-based biotechnology company will refine new drugs to treat cancer, HIV and autoimmune disease.
A team led by Professor Andy Sewell of the University's School of Medicine will share its pioneering research into T-cells with Immunocore Limited as part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) aimed at advancing drug design and testing.
The T-cells of the human immune system are able to see inside other cells to identify when they become cancerous or infected with bacteria or viruses. A molecule on the T-cell surface called the T-cell receptor detects these anomalies and enables T-cells to destroy abnormal cells.
Technology developed by Immunocore has refined T-cell receptors so that they can be used as drugs that seek out and destroy abnormal or infected cells. Novel technology from the Cardiff group will be used to enhance targeting of these 'smart weapons'.
The partnership will also enable Immunocore to continuously monitor what their drugs bind to during product development, reducing project failures and cycle times by using additional pioneering technology developed at Cardiff.
Professor Andy Sewell said: "I am thrilled to get this partnership with Immunocore. Their technologies are truly revolutionary as they enable the precise targeting of cells for immune destruction. Immunocore technology allows any cell within the body to be 'marked' for immune destruction with exquisite sensitivity and specificity. I am very excited about the future prospects for this approach and we are delighted to have this opportunity to work with Immunocore to improve the 'homing' of their drugs. It is hoped that this KTP will result in new treatments for cancer and stubborn infections such as HIV and tuberculosis."
Commenting on their involvement in the partnership, Dr Bent Jakobsen, Chief Scientific Officer of Immunocore Limited said: "Immunocore is looking forward to starting this collaborative project with Cardiff University. This is an excellent example of cutting-edge research yielding an important commercial advantage in the real world."
Professor Ken Woodhouse, Cardiff University's Pro Vice-Chancellor for Engagement said: "Cardiff University academics undertake world-leading research and have expertise that can benefit businesses in Wales and beyond. This Knowledge Transfer Partnership between the School of Medicine and Immunocore is a great example of how pioneering University research can help accelerate innovative product development and advance treatment for these major diseases."
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships is a UK-wide programme part-funded by the government to help businesses and organisations improve their competitiveness, productivity or both through the use of the knowledge, technology and skills that reside within academic institutions such as Cardiff University.
The KTP between the School of Medicine and Immunocore will fund an associate who will undertake this work and obtain a diploma in management. The team expect to be recruiting to this post during December.
The project will last for three years and has been 75 percent funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and 25 percent by The Technology Strategy Board.
1. School of MedicineThe School of Medicine was established in Cardiff in 1931. Until 1984 it was known as the Welsh National School of Medicine when it obtained a Royal Charter to reflect the school's expanded horizons, size and reputation. It later became the University of Wales College of Medicine (UWCM). In August 2004, UWCM merged with Cardiff University and the School of Medicine now forms part of the Wales College of Medicine with its four original partners in the healthcare education field. In 1995, the college introduced an exciting new medical curriculum from which students are able to combine and use knowledge, skills and judgement and develop appropriate attitudes to deliver a high standard of professional care.
The School's 21 academic departments are organised into three divisions: Division of Clinical Laboratory Science, Division of Community Specialities and Division of Hospital Specialities. The pre-clinical years are spent within the School of Biosciences before moving on to the University Hospital at Heath Park for the remainder of the course.
The School has a strong international reputation for research. Research facilities have recently been enhanced with the £11m Henry Wellcome Building for Biomedical Research in Wales. The building includes 4500 square metres of state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment for research into Infection & Immunity, Cancer Biology and Psychiatric Genetics, adjacent to a purpose-built Clinical Research Facility. The Henry Wellcome Building is the largest development of its kind ever undertaken in Wales and will be a flagship for biomedical research in Wales and the Principality.
2. Cardiff University
Cardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain's leading teaching and research universities and is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's most research intensive universities. Among its academic staff are two Nobel Laureates, including the winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Medicine, Professor Sir Martin Evans.
Founded by Royal Charter in 1883, today the University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research. The University's breadth of expertise in research and research-led teaching encompasses: the humanities; the natural, physical, health, life and social sciences; engineering and technology; preparation for a wide range of professions; and a longstanding commitment to lifelong learning.

Gran Caffè la Caffettiera
Rome, 00186, Italy
Formal and wood-paneled in the manner of Italy's grand old coffee bars, and equipped with Wi-Fi in the style of the new, this is a standout in a city of excellent but fairly identical cafés. (And, embarrassingly for Romans, this is a branch of a Neapolitan coffee empire.) Being a devoutly Italian bar, la Caffettiera serves no food beyond pastries, and regulars—including dashing deputati from nearby government buildings of Palazzo Montecitorio and Palazzo Chigi—take their espresso and nips of amaro standing at the counter. The ricotta-filled sfogliatelle are the best outside of Naples.

Privacy Notice
When this Notice refers to "we" or "us," it is referring to NCH Healthcare System, Inc.; Naples Community Hospital, Inc., NCH Downtown Naples Hospital Campus, NCH North Naples Hospital Campus, NCHMD, Inc., NCH Physician Group, Naples Heart Institute and Marco Healthcare Center.
This Notice describes how we will use and disclose your health information. The policies outlined in this Notice apply to all of your health information generated by this Organization, whether recorded in your medical record, invoices, payment forms or other ways. The Hospital, the members of its Medical Staff, and other health care providers affiliated with the Hospital typically work together in a clinically integrated setting to provide you with health care, and may share information for treatment, payment and health care operations. In such settings, this Notice applies only to care provided to you within the NCH Healthcare System which is reflected in the medical records maintained by the System.
In some circumstances we are permitted or required to use or disclose your health information without obtaining your prior authorization and without offering you the opportunity to object. These circumstances include:
Uses or disclosures for purposes relating to treatment, payment and health care operations:
We may use or disclose your health information for the purpose of providing, or allowing others to provide, treatment to you. An example would be if your primary care physician discloses your health information to another doctor for the purposes of a consultation. Also, we may contact you with appointment reminders or information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.
Health Information Exchange.
You may make your PHI available electronically through a local, state or national Health Information Exchange ('HIE'). An HIE is an organization that allows health care providers in different places to access medical and demographic information about you so that each provider has a complete picture of your health. HIEs can also avoid the need for you to undergo duplicate tests, because health care providers will have access to results of tests conducted elsewhere. You will be given the opportunity to opt out of the HIE if you wish
We may use and/or disclose your health information for the purpose of allowing us, as well as other entities, to secure payment for the health care services provided to you. For example, we may inform your health insurance company of your diagnosis and treatment in order to assist the insurer in processing our claim for the health care services provided to you.
Health Care Operations.
We may use and/or disclose your information for the purposes of our day-to-day operations and functions. We may also disclose your information to another covered entity to allow it to perform its day-to-day functions related to quality improvement and similar topics, but only to the extent that we both have a relationship with you. For example, we may compile your health information, along with that of other patients, in order to allow a team of our health care professionals to review that information and make suggestions concerning how to improve the quality of care provided at this facility. Also, we may contact you as part of our efforts to raise funds for the Organization. All fundraising communications will include information about how you may opt out of future fundraising communications.
To create material(s) that originally had any identifying information concerning you deleted from the final material(s);
To create materials that have most of the identifying information about you deleted from the final materials, to allow other entities to conduct research, public health, or health care operations activities;
When required by law, or for judicial or administrative proceedings and law enforcement purposes;
For public health purposes;
To disclose information about victims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence;
For health oversight activities, such as audits or civil, administrative or criminal investigations;
To assist coroners, medical examiners or funeral directors with their official duties;
To facilitate organ, eye or tissue donation;
For certain research projects that have been evaluated & approved through a research approval process that takes into account patients' need for privacy;
To avert a serious threat to health or safety;
For specialized governmental functions, such as military, national security, criminal corrections, or public benefit purposes; and
For workers' compensation purposes, as permitted by law.
We may also use or disclose your health information in the following circumstances. However, except in emergency situations, we will inform you of our intended action prior to making any such uses and disclosures and will, at that time, offer you the opportunity to object.
We may maintain a directory of patients that includes your name and location within the facility, your religious designation, and information about your condition in general terms that will not communicate specific medical information about you. Except for your religion, we may disclose this information to any person who asks for you by name. We may disclose all directory information to members of the clergy.
We may disclose to your relatives or close personal friends any health information that is directly related to that person's involvement in the provision of, or payment for, your care. We may also use and disclose your health information for the purpose of locating and notifying your relatives or close personal friends of your location and general condition or death, and to Organizations that are involved in those tasks during disaster situations.
The following categories of information receive special protection under state law, and will be used and disclosed only as allowed by state law: a. HIV-related information; b. Records of mental health treatment; c. Substance abuse records.
Except as described above, your health information will be used and disclosed only with your written authorization. In particular:
Most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes require your written authorization. "Psychotherapy notes" are the personal notes of a mental health professional that analyze the contents of conversations during a counseling session. They are treated differently under federal law than other mental health records.
Uses and disclosures for marketing require your written authorization. "Marketing" is a communication that encourages you to purchase a product or service. However, it is not marketing if we communicate with you about health-related products or services we offer, as long as we are not paid by a third party for making that communication.
A disclosure that qualifies as a sale of your health information under federal law may not occur without your written authorization.
You may revoke your authorization at any time, in writing, unless we have taken action in reliance upon your prior authorization, or if you signed the authorization as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage.
To Request Restrictions.
You have the right to request restrictions on the use and disclosure of your health information for treatment, payment or health care operations purposes or notification purposes. We are not required to agree to your request, with one exception: If you have paid out of pocket and in full for a health care item or service, you may request that we not disclose your health information related to that item or service to a health plan for purposes of payment or health care operations. If you make such a request, we will not disclose your information to the health plan unless the disclosure is otherwise required by law. If we do agree to a restriction, we will abide by that restriction unless you are in need of emergency treatment and the restricted information is needed to provide that emergency treatment. To request a restriction, submit a written request to the Contact listed on the final page of this Notice.
To Limit Communications.
You have the right to receive confidential communications about your own health information by alternative means or at alternative locations. This means that you may, for example, designate that we contact you only via e-mail, or at work rather than home. To request communications via alternative means or at alternative locations, you must submit a written request to the Contact listed on the final page of this Notice. All reasonable requests will be granted.
To Access and Copy Health Information.
You have the right to inspect and copy any health information about you other than psychotherapy notes, information compiled in anticipation of or for use in civil, criminal or administrative proceedings, or certain information that is governed by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act. To arrange for access to your records, or to receive a copy of your records, you should submit a written request to the Contact listed on the last page of this Notice. If you request copies, you will be charged our regular fee for copying and mailing the requested information.
Despite your general right to access your Protected Health Information, access may be denied in some limited circumstances. For example, access may be denied if you are an inmate at a correctional institution or if you are a participant in a research program that is still in progress. Access may be denied if the federal Privacy Act applies. Access to information that was obtained from someone other than a health care provider under a promise of confidentiality can be denied if allowing you access would reasonably be likely to reveal the source of the information. The decision to deny access under these circumstances is final and not subject to review.
In addition, access may be denied if (i) access to the information in question is reasonably likely to endanger the life and physical safety of you or anyone else, (ii) the information makes reference to another person and your access would reasonably be likely to cause harm to that person, or (iii) you are the personal representative of another individual and a licensed health care professional determines that your access to the information would cause substantial harm to the patient or another individual. If access is denied for these reasons, you have the right to have the decision reviewed by a health care professional who did not participate in the original decision. If access is ultimately denied, the reasons for that denial will be provided to you in writing.
To Request Amendment.

damn router!
-the computer finds the router perfectly. pinging and connecting via firefox work without any problems
-when i ping www.google.com (or any domain), it returns "cannot find google.com" or the equivalent
-when i ping 220.127.116.11 (google's IP address), all the ping packets are dropped, recording 100% packet loss
i'm assuming that after the router receives the packet but never sends it. also, i've noticed that MRU MTU and MSS are missing from the setup screen. it's possible that it isn't let me login into my ISP because of this. any advice for fixing it would greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: by setting my IP address to automatic i'm now able to access the internet. however, i still cannot access the DNS, forcing me to use IP addresses instead of the proper domain names. at least that's narrowed it down, so anyone got any ideas on how to fix the DNS?Last edited by d38dm8nw81k1ng; 01-24-2006 at 10:12 PM.

Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

ok, a third revelation. i tried it on my laptop, it worked perfectly. i tried it on suse on my desktop... worked perfectly. tried gentoo... failed. i suppose this is now a gentoo problem rather than a hardware problem. i originally though i'd set the DNS to override the router's settings, but i know i haven't since gentoo's network settings are set to "nodns". ok, what else could the problem be?

i might be misunderstanding, but AFAIK your GENTOO Operating System should have its DNS Server address set to something specified by your ISP or it should be set to the IP of your Router (that is if the router automatical;y receives the DNS server IP from your ISP).

This is rather a long shot, and I may not have understood you completely. However, try this just to see what happens:
In Firefox:
- type about:config in the Navbar/address bar and hit Enter then;
- look for network.dns.disableIPv6 - right-click and toggle to true
Restart Firefox
Does that help with URL access?
Edit: I had a DNS access problem last year, and the above information is the result of two weeks hard work! It sorted the problem out. I found that I didn't have a problem if I tried to access sites using Konqueror.I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso

Glendale school celebrates Arbor Day early
PHOENIX -- Arbor Day is next month, but third-grade students from Desert Mirage Elementary in Glendale celebrated a bit early Friday.
Several dozen children spent the morning planting several Chinese Elm trees at Desert Mirage Park.
"We need to celebrate trees because they help us have oxygen," said 9-year-old Madison. "I'm excited. I get to actually plant one."
Glendale has been designated as a Tree City USA and annually celebrates Arbor Day with tree plantings in city parks. At Friday's special event, Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers read the city's Arbor Day Proclamation.
After the proclamation, a representative from the Arizona State Forestry Division presented the Tree City USA plaque.

After months of consulting with several contractors about enclosing our screen porch with windows to keep the rain from ruining expensive sun room furniture we bought for our last house (and doesn't belong on a screen porch), I got cold feet. I realized I still wanted to keep the look and feel of my porch but windows, even casements, would make it another interior room and I didn't want another room, plus the prices we were getting were outrageous. Plexiglas was not an option because our openings are too big and really wouldn't do the trick because we would have to put them up every night and have no easy place to store them.
I had an idea put tracks on the window posts and make shades our of clear vinyl and was trying to research the idea when I came across Eze-Breeze windows. After checking them out and pricing them (they were a fraction of the costs of windows), we are seriously considering them. Do any of you have these type of windows installed on your porch? Do you like them and are they easy to use? How do the hold up after several years? We live in New England and get lots of snow and rain. Thanks, Elle |

I have a porch with these windows and love them. When we bought them 5 years ago, the salesman said the most popular location for them was Chicago. We live in East Tennessee where we get @ 70" of rain a year and 0 temps sometimes in the winter. Plants will not winter over on the porch. We will start using the porch as soon as the temp warms in the spring and will use it til late fall. Our windows are tinted, they do make the room off of it darker-but keep things cooler in the summer. I have never taken the "windows" out and used it a true screen porch as storage of the windows would be a challenge. They can slide either up or down. I wash them in the spring and we're good to go. One is damaged from the dog-but can be easily replaced--it uses a spline system. We love the perch and the versility the system provides. They are custom fitted to your structure. Would definitely do it again. |
Thanks for the follow-up Sewlutions, We have put our order in and hope to have the windows up in 2 weeks! The savings over windows was astounding. We were looking at $8K-$12K for windows where this will be well under $3K with installation plus the replacement of our screen door to a storm door. We opted for the clear windows and will keep our plastic roll-up binds to fend off the sun and heat. |
elle481, can you tell me how large your porch is? And how many eze breeze windows you got for that price? I have a fairly modest sized porch (11x11) with only two sides needing windows (total of only 9 windows) and the price I was quoted was over $6k. Thanks! |
elle481, do you still like your windows after one year? i am considering installing them as well. jen5273, have you seen any other reviews besides this site? |
Love EZE Breeze. bought mine from architectural glass in greer, sc and they shipped direct to me. was very pleased with the product and service. i bought the vertical 4 track but they are available in horizontal sliders too. |
We installed 7 large eze breeze windows, one sliding door and one standard eze breeze door. The windows were a real bargain, but the sliding door was WAY overpriced for a single pane door (over $1000) and I think the standard door was in the neighborhood of $500! The windows though were around $250 each. These windows work great even in cold Wisconsin weather and they are very bird friendly. We've had dozens of bird crash into them at full speed and they just bounce off. They don't hold one tiny bit of heat (basically no R factor) but we only use the room for three seasons. Read through our blog and you'll find more info and the whole story of how we built our three season room without a contractor. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Three season room blog
Hi barman, that looks great! What did you use for the fixed window openings on top of your eze breeze panels? Also is your ezebreeze door inswing or outswing/ is there a choice? thanks! |
Hi again, I looked through your blog but there is no mention of the type of flooring that you used. Can you email me what you used through my contact information (click on my name) since I don't want to hijack this thread? thanks! |

Scrappy 25, I have windows up top like the one pictured. Mine are the same vinyl as used in the windows..except they are stationary. Never had any problems and still love my windows. |

thanks sewlutions, did how did you get the top windows with the vinyl made, did your contractor do that? |
Am having this type window installed on Florida lanai that is currently screened, to keep rain and dirt off porch. The contractor suggests the tinted vinyl, and says the clear will rot and discolor in much less time than tinted. Does anyone have an opinion? My neighbor has the tinted, it would make my kitchen dark. |
I too am in Florida & am considering this product for my current lanai. I am also concerned about my kitchen being too dark, if I go with tinted. |

Sorry scrappy25, haven't visited here lately. The Guy who came out to measure took care of the windows that are just framed in. They are at the top of the wall and I don't get them cleaned very often. Still love my porch and windows. See that HD is now offering these as a package for a porch. I would certainly choose these again. |

Have had these windows...about 10 of them...for over 15 years. Love them! I have torn a few of them by accident and taped them up temporarily. Does anyone know if I can purchase the vinyl and spline to repair them myself? Any info would be appreciated |

Inspired after I showed him EZE breeze online, my husband made vinyl stationary insert frames for our screened in porch last fall. Treetops- He purchased the spline and aluminum at Lowes and Home Depot and the 12 mil poly vinyl sheeting on a roll (90 yards x 54 " for $130) from a store on ebay located in New York. He screwed the panels over the screens and will remove them after pollen season. They have certainly done their job so far this winter. The porch is clean, and we have been able to spend time out there on sunny days during this cold winter is Maryland. |

Glad you got to enjoy this cold winter. The windows I want to repair are the Ezebreeze ones and wondering if anyone has done this themselves and did they get the material from the manufacturer? On a side note , for the last few years we have been covering our porch Ezebreeze window frames with a clear heat shrink plastic available in small rolls from Home Depot and other big box hardware stores. It comes with double sided clear tape. A snap to install and remove....and acts like a double window. Keeps us cozy and makes room a 4 season with aux heating/. |
Hi, We are thinking of adding these windows to a second story porch. Our contractor sprayed them with a garden hose and a stated they leaked through and now he has concerns about the structures underneath. Has anyone else had problems with rain and leaking? We are in southwest MN and this is for a lake cabin. Any quick replies would be appreciated as we are moving along with construction. Thank you! |
I am putting these in and not one contractor is comfortable with a finished basement under the eze breeze porch for that reason unless expensive outdoor waterproof flooring was added. If your porch floor is already waterproof though there should not be an issue as long as the penetrations for the columns that support the windows are sealed. Obviously you would also need a railing since these would not meet code for railing safely for the second floor. |

We have a screened porch with the eze breeze windows - was built just a few months ago. Sure, if you spray a hose at them directly, no doubt there will be leaking. These things are not the same as glass. However, I would be surprised if you get anything, or more than a drop or two with most rains. Rain falling down is nothing like a big stream of water getting pointed horizontally directly at the window. If you have some overhangs, that would make water entering even less likely. |
We had a sun-porch built about 6-7 years ago with Eze breeze windows installed and absolutely love them. We are in NC and yes you cannot decorate with live plants because they either burn up or freeze during the winter. They are a pain to clean but think we have it down pat now. My only problem is cleaning - I am attempting this for the first time and am having a problem with finding a cleaner that works. I have tried Woodlite and the EZ cleaner (that they all recommend) but it really doesn't work. I am going to try the oil base cleaner next.. Anybody got any solutions. |

Our 3-season room with Eze-Breeze windows was just finished recently, and so far we are extremely happy. Love the windows, and we use the room a lot. This room was originally a deck, so we left the trex floor which was in perfect condition, and put screening underneath. We haven't purchased real porch furniture yet, and are just using our old deck furniture which is basically just seating and a table. Wondering if it is too humid to use upholstered furniture? We live in WI. |
We live in Northern MN. Our hot tub is outside on our covered back porch. I am wanting to enclose that porch somehow, to keep the wind and snow out so we are able to use the hot tub more often during our frigid winters. I understand that Eze Breeze windows will not help with warmth, but wondering if they are sufficient for keeping the wind and snow out in the winter? (and the awful mosquitos in the summer!) Our porch is about 58 feet long and about 11 feet deep (and I would want the windows from floor to ceiling)...so would need about 68-70 feet of windows for the 2 open sides. Would that get pretty spendy? It may be possible to just enclose the hot tub area too (about 11X14). |
- Posted by brandeischic (My Page) on Sun, Sep 28, 14 at 17:21
Yes, eze breeze will keep the wind, snow and bugs out. Our porch is screened in, so it's the screens that keep the bugs out, but I would think eze breeze alone would as well. |
joyce_6333, I'm wondering how wide your ezebreeze windows are. They look wider than many others. Since our window width is about 64", that's what we are looking to do. The contractor says Eze Breeze will make them as one unit but I'm wondering how hard they are to operate. Any information would be very helpful. |

IMU cleric urges Pakistanis to continue sheltering jihadis in Waziristan
A top ideologue for the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan urged Pakistanis living in Waziristan to continue to shelter jihadists, and said the Pakistani state has done the most damage to terror groups operating in the region.
Abu Dher al Barmi, an Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan cleric and spokesman who is also known as Abu Dher Azzam, delivered the sermon on Sept. 30, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which provided a translation. The sermon was videotaped at a mosque in Pakistan and distributed by Ummat Studios to jihadist websites on Nov. 14.
He said that the "the mujahideen of Islam emigrated to the land of Waziristan after the fall of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" and sheltered with the Pakistani people, but are now being punished by both the US and Pakistan for doing so.
"Today, the helpless and poor people of Waziristan have helped to defeat the so-called superpower..." he said. "For harboring the mujahideen, they are being killed and targeted by the [US] drones, by the apostate Pakistan Army, by the ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] and tribal militias, but people of Waziristan are facing these hardships with unprecedented courage and faith."
Al Barmi said that Pakistan's government is deceiving its people into believing the US is preparing to invade Pakistan.
"They are telling us that America intends to invade Pakistan, but this has already happened with the consent of the Pakistani government. Who is carrying out these drone strikes? Who is providing the Americans ground intelligence? In fact, America invaded Pakistan ten years ago, and that's when we started jihad against America, against the occupiers, against the system in Pakistan, against the armed forces of Pakistan, and this jihad will continue, Allah willing."
Al Barmi said the IMU would "never forget the sacrifices of our hosts" and the "Red Mosque's martyrs," a reference to the jihadists who fought at the Lal Masjid is Islamabad in July 2007. "We will never let go to waste the blood of Kashmiri mujahideen and Afghan mujahideen."
"Our objective is to enforce Allah's system in Allah's universe," he said.
He said the IMU would fight for the imposition of Sharia law in Pakistan and the destruction of the "brutal end of Pakistani security and secret services," and avenge "the killing of martyrs."
Background on the IMU in Pakistan and Afghanistan
The IMU's leadership cadre is based in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan, and operates primarily along the Afghan-Pakistani border and in northern Afghanistan. According to one estimate, more than 3,000 Uzbeks and other Central Asian fighters are sheltering in North Waziristan.
The US ramped up airstrikes against the terror groups in North Waziristan between September 2010 and January 2011. Many of the strikes targeted cells run by the Islamic Jihad Group, which were plotting to conduct Mumbai-styled terror assaults in Europe. A Sept. 8 strike killed an IJG commander known as Qureshi, who specialized in training Germans to conduct attacks in their home country.
In South Waziristan, the IMU's former leader, Tahir Yuldashev, was killed in a US Predator airstrike in September 2009. Yuldashev sat on al Qaeda's top council, the Shura Majlis. He has been replaced by Abu Usman Adil.
Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan fighters often serve as bodyguards for top Pakistani Taliban and al Qaeda leaders. The IMU fights alongside the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and has stepped up attacks in Central Asian countries as well. Recently, the IUM has claimed credit for suicide assaults in Panjshir and Parwan provinces in Afghanistan.
Earlier this year, ISAF identified several locations of safe havens and training camps in the north for the Taliban and the allied Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. Both terror groups maintain a strong presence in the northern Afghan provinces of Badakhshan, Baghlan, Balkh, Faryab, Jawzjan, Kunduz, Samangan, Sar-i-Pul, and Takhar, and have established suicide and military training camps in the north over the past several years. As the two groups expand their presence in the region, top leaders of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan have integrated into the Taliban's shadow government in the northern provinces.
ISAF has identified the presence of suicide camps in Sar-i-Pul and Samangan provinces. On March 22, a special operations team captured an IMU commander who ran camps in Samangan. In addition, several other commanders who aid in suicide attacks have been targeted in the north.
ISAF and Afghan forces captured the IMU's senior leader in Afghanistan during a raid in Kunduz province in April. He served as "a key conduit between the senior IMU leadership in Pakistan and senior Taliban leadership in Afghanistan," and aided in suicide, IED, and other attacks by the IMU in the north. He was freed from a Pakistani jail in 2010 and immediately returned to lead forces in Afghanistan [see LWJ report, ISAF captures Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan's top commander for Afghanistan].
The IMU has established camps in Kunduz province, a Taliban commander from Baghlan named Mustafa told the Asia Times earlier this year. The Taliban commander said that jihadis from Central Asia, including "Chechnya, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Russia," make up a significant portion of the fighters in the Afghan north and that they are setting their sights on the neighboring country of Uzbekistan.
"I can tell you that there is an active connection between the Central Asian command and the Taliban in northern Afghanistan and they often join us, but how they connect, this is beyond my level," Mustafa told Asia Times. "Our superior commanders are in touch with their counterparts in Central Asia and if somebody arrives in Afghanistan or goes to Central Asia from Afghanistan, it is arranged at a senior leadership level."
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and the Islamic Jihad Group, an IMU splinter faction, are also known to operate in the southeastern Afghan provinces of Khost, Paktia, Paktika, Ghazni, and Zabul. The two groups work with the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network [see LWJ report, ISAF detains senior Haqqani Network leader linked to the IMU].
READER COMMENTS: "IMU cleric urges Pakistanis to continue sheltering jihadis in Waziristan"
Posted by David at November 23, 2011 8:38 PM ET:
So, it seems like at least part of the Pakistani military IS helping us, if this guy is to be believed. My impression from reading this site and others is that the Pakistani state is ENTIRELY against us. Who in Pakistan is actually on our side?
And why was the senior leader of the IMU in Afghanistan, who apparently was captured by us, sitting in Pakistani jail? If we gave him to the Pakistanis, we have only ourselves to blame if he goes free a month later. By now, we know what happens when we do that...
Posted by Charles at November 23, 2011 8:51 PM ET:
Doesn't sound like this guy supports the non announced announced truce between the Pakistanis and the Taliban.
Maybe he thinks that any truce between the Taliban the the Pakistanis would aimed at eliminating Al Queda.
I'm not sure he's far wrong. After all what does the global caliphate have to do with mining in Pakistan or Afghanistan. If the ISI wants to become the like the Saudi Aramco -- but of mining--that would mean the bandits have to go.
Posted by elimin43 at November 24, 2011 2:54 AM ET:
Pakistan's game of duplicity can no longer befool the world.
They wanted to pretend and tell the world: look, we are supporting the war on terror, because Islam is a peaceful religion. But deep down, they believed in jihad against all unbelievers with an aim to subjugate or convert them to Islam. So, they kept on protecting all jihadis in Pakistan including the slain Osama bin laden, Laskar-e-Toiba and Pakistani Taliban.
Muslim's game of deception and smooth talking is now over. Now, the rest of the world has begun to realize that Islam is a toxic, intolerant and idiotic religion. It does not deserve any respect and it should not be equated with other peaceful religions.

David, Pakistan gives up info on those taliban that they see as expendable and provides shelter to those they want to stick around for when we leave. The ones that are expendable know that they are and see both Pakistan and the US as enemies, however Pakistan is just a temporary enemy for them.

He Looks Pakistani so most likely reading an ISI endorsed script!

@ David
We won't give our prisoners to Pakistan. He was freed by Pakistan in 2010 and entered Afghanistan immediately. If you read the link, inserted in paragraph four (count from bottom), you will find out that he was arrested inside Afghanistan by ISAF in April 2011.

Altering Text In eBooks To Track Pirates
Re:sure (467 comments)
Suppose you have several pirates in different markets with different accounts that all buy the ebook and diff those. If done once, it's really hard to narrow it down to any one of them. If they keep using different accounts for future purchases and add their own alterations to the pirated copy (to confuse the detector), it makes them practically impossible to trace.

HONOLULU — A handful of shenanigans and plenty of points — yet still another ho-hum Pro Bowl.
Whether the NFL's all-star game will return next season is a something the league will ponder the next few months after the NFC's 62-35 blowout of the AFC on Sunday.
"It's been an unbelievable week," Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson said. "And the thing was, if you watched us, everybody was competing today and it was really awesome."
Wilson at least got the crowd pumped up in the second half with some nifty scrambles and three passing touchdowns. There was also Houston's sack-happy defensive end J.J. Watt going out for a couple of passes as a wide receiver, and retiring Green Bay center Jeff Saturday snapping to two Mannings on opposite teams.
Seattle's Leon Washington returned four kickoffs for 167 yards, including a 92-yarder. Marshawn Lynch rushed four times for a game-high 21 yards and a TD.
But while the NFC appeared unstoppable on offense, with nearly each player putting up fantasy-worthy lines in limited play, the AFC had five turnovers and scored most of its points well after the game was no longer competitive.
Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph was voted the game's MVP with five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.
"Guys were competing, guys wanted to win and guys want to keep the game here," Rudolph insisted. "That was the point before the game. We want to keep this game rolling for future Pro Bowlers."
Watt, who had 20 ½ sacks for Houston, lined up as a wide receiver on the AFC's third play from scrimmage but missed a pass from Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. Watt was targeted one more time, but didn't make a catch.
He later showed a television camera a bloody left pinkie, joking with NBC broadcasters it was proof the players were trying.
"Hey, Commish, we're playing hard," Watt said as he showed his finger.
Roger Goodell has said the Pro Bowl won't be played again if play didn't improve this year. Last year, fans in Hawaii booed as linemen were clearly not trying.
If players were coasting this time around, it was less obvious. The AFC just played poorly. And fans didn't boo much — the stands were relatively empty even though the game sold enough tickets to lift a local TV blackout.
Saturday, who is retiring, played for both teams, though he came representing the NFC.
Seahawks highlights
Seattle had six players on the NFC's Pro Bowl roster.QB Russell Wilson:
8 of 10 passing, 98 yards, 3 TDs
RB Marshawn Lynch:
4 carries for 21 yards rushing, 1 TD
RB Leon Washington:
4 kickoff returns for 167 yards, including one for 92 yards
S Earl Thomas:
1 interception

Cummins Inc. is a Fortune 500 corporation that designs, manufactures, and distributes engines, filtration, and power generation products. Cummins also services engines and related equipment, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission control and electrical power generation systems. Headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, United States, Cummins sells in approximately 190 countries and territories through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributors and approximately 6,000 dealers. Cummins reported net income of $1.64 billion on sales of $17.3 billion in 2012.[1]
The Cummins Engine Company was founded in 1919 by namesake Clessie Cummins, an Indiana mechanic. The Columbus, Indiana company focused on developing the engine invented 20 years earlier by Rudolf Diesel, but in spite of several well publicized endurance trials, it was not until 1933 that they introduced the successful Model H, used in small railroad switchers.[3][4][5] In the post WWII U.S. road building boom Cummins, with their N Series engines, became the leader in heavy duty truck engines, from 1952 to 1959 they had more than half the market.[6] In the 1960s the company opened an assembly plant in Shotts, Scotland. By 2013 they had operations in 197 countries and territories.[5]

Cummins manufactures and markets a complete line of diesel and natural gas-powered engines for on-highway and off-highway use. Its markets include heavy-and medium-duty truck, bus, recreational vehicle (RV), light-duty automotive and a number of industrial uses including, construction, mining, marine, oil and gas, railroad and military equipment.[2]
For the general public, the most visible Cummins product may be the 5.9-liter in-line six-cylinder engine used in the Dodge Ram light duty pickups starting in 1989.[7] In 2007, a 6.7-liter version of the Cummins straight six engine became optional on the RAM pickup.[7] In 2008, Cummins was a named defendant in a class action suit related to 1998-2001 model year Chrysler Dodge Ram trucks, model 2500 or 3500, originally equipped with a Cummins ISB 5.9 liter diesel engine built using a pattern 53 Block.[8] The case has been settled, but some qualified Chrysler owners may receive $500 for repairs to the block, which was alleged to crack and create a coolant leak.
In April 2013, Cummins utilized technology developed by Westport Innovations to begin shipping large natural gas fueled engines to truck manufacturers in the United States as trucking companies began converting portions of their fleets to natural gas and the natural gas distribution network in the United States began to expand.[9]

If piles of cash receipts make you feel trapped like a circus cat come tax time, this scanning device could bring relief.
SAVE TIME | Everyone has their own idea of Hell On Earth, but sorting a year's worth of scrunched up cash receipts spilling out of plastic bags and bureau drawers is a one-way trip to bookkeeping-Hades for pretty much anyone.
I've tried various organizing and recording methods, but my favourite is NeatReceipts, a mini "scanalizer" that reads, records and analyzes data from both sales receipts and business cards. It also allows you to print out copies with multiple receipts on a page. Get the whole story

Uh-oh, this computer virus can spread via Wi-Fi |
Source: CNET - Posted by Dave Wreski | ||
Researchers at England's University of Liverpool have created Chameleon, a virus that can proliferate via Wi-Fi as efficiently as the common cold infects humans. British researchers have created a computer virus that they say is the first to spread like a real airborne contagion.
Chameleon can spread through densely populated areas like the common cold, the University of Liverpool researchers claim, by hopping from network to network via access points, spreading rapidly among homes and businesses. If as that wasn't bad enough, the virus can avoid detection and identify weak wireless access points -- those that are least protected by encryption and passwords.

text: I recently became a fan of NY style pizza. My wife and I spent a couple of days in NYC and we hit the streets looking for the perfect slice. What we found was truly exceptional, and more importantly I now know where the NY-style pizza snobs are coming from when they rant and rave about the stuff. In recent years Buffalo has landed a couple of NY-style pizza joints that do a pretty good job when it comes to creating decent NY-style pizzas, but I'm not sold on any one restaurant in particular. Last night I decided to try out a new Elmwood pizzeria called Gino's, and after opening the box and taking a few bites I'm happy to say that NY-style pizza lovers will be pleased. Not to say that we've struck gold and we can finally rest knowing that we've got the best NY-style pizzeria in the state, but when looking for a fix, this is a good place to fulfill your craving.

CIPE Women Entrepreneurs Update
Bangladesh – The Bangladesh Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BWCCI) organized a seminar in Dhaka on September 20, entitled "A Path toward the Development of Women Entrepreneurs in Bangladesh: the 2012-13 National Budget." Among the over 200 attendees were Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, along with BWCCI board members, parliamentarians, representatives of international donors, NGOs, and women entrepreneurs. Former BWCCI President Selima Ahmad noted that while women have made significant contributions to the national economy, the government lacks a cohesive policy to promote women entrepreneurs. Minister Abdul Muhith responded that the government has now allocated the equivalent of over US $12 million for women entrepreneurs as a way to begin addressing this issue. Over 100 journalists from print, television and online media covered the event.
Mauritania – CIPE held a capacity-building workshop in Nouakchott for 20 participants representing the Union Mauritanienne des Femmes Entrepreneures et Commercantes (UMAFEC) and the Union Nationale du Patronat Mauritanien (UNPM). UMAFEC is the apex business membership organization for women entrepreneurs in Mauritania, and UNPM is a confederation of private sector associations that represent various Mauritanian economic sectors. The workshop, which was facilitated by CIPE Africa Program Officer Yana Hongla and CIPE consultant Haroune Sidatt, focused on ways to improve association management, particularly on topics such as membership development, service and program delivery, and good governance. CIPE is working to strengthen the capacity of UMAFEC and UNPM to better represent their members and advocate for policy reforms.
West Bank/Gaza – On September 9, as part of a CIPE-supported project to strengthen corporate and democratic governance, the Palestine Governance Institute hosted a workshop for Palestinian businesswomen. Speakers included: Asma Masri, the chairperson of the Nablus Businesswomen Association; Dr. Hisham Awartani, PGI executive director; and Mohammad Shahin, a member of the Palestinian Development Fund. The speakers explained ways in which Palestinian businesswomen can strengthen their firms. Dr. Awartani recommended that they adopt corporate governance practices in order to become more efficient and competitive and to access financial assistance provided by specialized international and local organizations. Twenty-eight businesswomen attended the workshop and expressed interest in future workshops on similar topics.

If this was a movie, young A.J. Clemente would come from a hard scrabble family. His father's out of the picture, and we see a scene in which A.J. comes home to find his mom passed out again on the couch, a half-finished bottle of vodka in her lap. A.J. quietly turns of the television and tucks her in. "I got the job, ma," he says, knowing she can't hear him. "I'm gonna be on KFYR." Then there's a montage of A.J.'s last normal morning as a civilian, taking a jog through the old neighborhood, everyone saying hello to him and wishing him well. He gets a cup of coffee from his go to coffee place and all the baristas know him by name. This is a lovable guy that you can't help but root for and everyone's so excited that this tough kid has persevered long enough to finally get the break that he deserves. A.J. gets to the television studio and it's like walking into another world. He looks around at all the people shuffling here and there in their shiny clothes, looks of determination on their faces. He's intimidated by how much everyone seems to be in their element since he feels like such an outsider. Maybe there is a meet cute with another reporter, like she is carrying a big stack of papers and they bump into each other and A.J. apologizes and offers to help her, but she brushes him off and the news assistant who is showing A.J. to his dressing room tells him not to feel bad about it, no one knows what Sarah's problem is but A.J. realizes that he might finally have met his match. He settles into the make up chair and admits that he's nervous and the make up lady tells him not to worry about it, that he's going to do great. A.J. asks if it's cold in there or if he's just nervous and someone explains that they keep the AC cranked up because it gets pretty hot under those studio lights, which they promise A.J. will learn soon enough. Because it's his first day, the clothes don't quite fit him right, and they have to use alligator clips in the back of his jacket to give it a tighter, cleaner line. He walks out onto the floor feeling miles away from the rest of the world. He hits is mark and takes a deep breath. This is it. All of his life has led him to this one moment. And then he says "Fucking shit" and is immediately fired because this movie is hilarious.
Aww, poor A.J. HOPE FLOATS, MY MAN. Apparently, A.J. was suspended by the station pending review buty has since tweeted that he's been let go.
As embarrassing of a goof as the cursing is for a professional broadcaster, I would have fired A.J. for flubbing the line about being used to being from the East Coast. What? What was that, A.J.? And what the hell are you even talking about, Van? I know it's A.J.'s first day but what is your excuse? Pack your bags, everyone is fired! DON'T LET THE WORLD'S WORST BOSS COFFEE MUG HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT! (Via Deadspin. Thanks for the tip, Gideon.)
