Blue industry
Another day in the industrial park Landsweiler-Reden with my friend @thejomi I used an old Kodak Vericolor Slide film SO-279. (expired 01/1992) the film is a color negative film who was intended to produce positive images from color negatives. I set the iso to200. but next time i will set it to25. The blue color is awesome. I'm happy to have another 2 rolls of this crazy film.

While having new lino laid my husband pulled out our large American style fridge freezer without unplugging it and the wire pulled out from the back of the fridge freezer with a loud band and flash and tripped the fuse box. Does anyone think that the fridge freezer is now ruined or is it a case of just rewiring it? |

Drivers - everything just works?
On the subject of drivers, we were amazed with the latest build of Vista. After loading Vista for the first time, we expected the need of having to install a bunch of drivers to make everything work - and possibly certain devices not working properly or not at all. To our surprise, we didn't have to install ANY drivers at all - everything just worked!
It was a big shock to hear the Vista welcome sound on the very first load of Vista on the new install and see our RAID 0 array drive detected - definitely a vast contrast from Windows XP. The resolution and refresh rate of the monitor were set at the optimal settings - in my case 1920 x 1200 (Dell LCD). While it didn't detect the monitor, it did come with nVidia GeForce drivers for the 7900GS included. For the best performance during our benchmarking, we upgrade the drivers to the latest on the nVidia website, which were ForceWare 96.33 BETA from September 1st 2006. While it's not as refined as the latest XP driver, it works fine as you will see in our benchmark testing later.
As far as updating drivers went, the only driver we updated was the graphics card. As we mentioned, everything else just worked including HD Audio out of the box. Once Vista is fully released, all hardware companies will come out with new Vista specific drivers which will be tweaked for better performance, stability and features for Microsoft's latest OS.
If you're running a current modern system with standard components, you have no need to worry about driver support. Although, if you are running an older system with non-regular hardware components such as TV Tuners or other unusual or old devices, you probably should wait for the hardware vendor to come out with an actual Vista driver for optimal performance and stability. We're unsure just how many devices will be supported in Vista itself but time will soon tell once it has been released.
Included driver support in Vista impressed us with our particular test system and that's a great sign as Vista's launch is not too far away. Now we're ready to move onto the benchmarks and work out if there are any tangible performance differences between Windows XP and Vista.

Just found out about the new edition of the game from over at the Troll Lord Games website. I'm more of a collector of games than a player, but have enjoyed the 1st and 2nd edition ruleset and of course the whole background that GW developed for the game. I was very glad to see that FFG had taken on the role of publishing Warhammer and of course Dark Heresy. Anyway, this new version , wow, I was surpised. I suppose I should be. There were indicators - the release of everything 2nd Edition on PDF should have been a good clue and of course the rumors. So here is my take on this whole thing.
FFG got this game system called Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game. It's got a well established fan base, a lot of info, lot of background. This is FFG and when they do things they do in awesome quality and they do it big. And much to my suprise (and I suppose a few others), they decided to make a new edition. They had two ways of going about making this new edition:
1. The Wizards of the Coast way - hide the fact that your going to make a new edition, deny it even and then go ahead and do it anyway. Announce it, but have it already done and researched, not really getting input from the fan base. Then release it. This was IMHO the way things were done for D&D 4E.
2. The Paizo and Kenzer & Company way - come out and tell the fans your making changes to a game. Ask for the input, include them in the process. Then release it. This is way, IMHO, that the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Hackmaster Basic RPG were one.
It appears to me that FFG went with option 1. The WOTC Way. Which is hugely frustrating to the established fan base. The game Mechanics do not appear to be the same that they have known. This also is an indication that by choosing the WOTC way, they intend to simply weather the backlash as WOTC did and attract a new generation of RPGers with these new mechanics and packageing.
As far as the $100 price, I'm not too worried as a collection of the core rulebooks for D&D 4e or Castles & Crusades would be about the same price - at least the MSRP. The quality I'm not concerned with either as this is FFG After all. I do applaud FFG for releasing all the 2nd Edition stuff on PDF, a good move and lesson learned from teh backlash against WOTC for pulling theirs!
The big question I have is Why did they not invite the fans in on the process? It was done with 2nd edition, why not do this with 3rd? Why not go with Option 2 and annouce the plan to do this new edition and have everyone participate? That is really the frustrating part of all this for me - not the price, not even the new mechanics, simply that it appears that the fans were left out of the process. At least from this gamer's perspective.
While no one owes me an answer, I do hope FFG can give some feedback on this issue.
In any event, the reality is FFG paid for the liscense they can do what they want. Personally, I don't really know if I'll buy the new edition of the game as I was happy with 2nd Edition, but I'm a collector as well as a gamer so I probably will. Now what would be something that would be awesome and a radical depature from WOTC's business model, but what I think would be a huge win for both FFG and the existing Fan Base for warhammer would be to continue to publish 2nd Edition Warhammer products alongside 3rd Edition. The players are still there, they'll still play, but this would be a great nod to them. Even if they only published a few things a year for 2nd Edition. Anyway, thanks for reading and God bless.

Automation is the future you can't avoid, though you may try. Even within the metal building industry—which is made up of skilled tradesmen—automation has revolutionized, and will continue revolutionizing, how we work.
Here are a few inventions shifting the industry toward more technology and better results:
Imagine an old draftsman. They had boards and rulers, tall chairs and hours of leaning over plans. AutoCAD, the architecture software, changed that. Now, you can take a wired framed drawing and make it 3D in seconds. Images in this industry are important and this feature allows you to visualize the finished product, to move around it, to switch angles, to get multiple views, and to present the client visuals of exactly what they are getting.
Windows 8
Have you upgraded? If not, consider making plans. Every two or three years, you need to update your software and hardware. It should be part of your budget. Having the latest, greatest operating systems insures you can run programs, such as AutoCAD, without the glitches that come when you don't have enough operational power. In this culture of technology, keeping your company ahead with your equipment and software gives you a leg up.
Star Builder System (SBS) is revolutionizing the way builders execute estimating their jobs. And all at a faster rate. SBS was designed with builders in mind; as they input the data of their project into the system, SBS creates real-time renderings of the product, allowing the builder to customize their quotes for their individual clients. And all within minutes.
What are some other ways the industry is shifting toward more technology and greater automation?

Evaporation and Conservation of Mass
Name: Marjean Status: educator Grade: 4-5 Country: USA Date: February 2009
I teach a matter unit in 5th grade science. One of the experiments students participate in is dissolving salt in water as an example of a reversible physical change. To help students understand conservation of mass, they weigh the cup and the dry table salt before adding distilled water. In theory, after all the water evaporates, the salt in the cup should weigh the same as it did before the dissolving took place...right? It never does! It weighs more than when we started every time! If anything, it should weigh less, since it is quite easy to lose some of the salt from the cup as it is moved from the window to the desk. I am truly puzzled as to why it would weigh more. Can you help me answer this question?
My guess is that the salt is retaining moisture and not as dry as it was when you first placed it into the cup. The extra weight you are measuring is water that was not in the cup during the initial weight.
If the last part of your experiment was to heat the cups in even a moderately warm oven (safe enough for elementary kids) I think you'd see better results. Another thing that might help would be to spread the salt out rather than having it in a cup. A baking tray could hold salt but have more of it open to the air, which would help for more moisture to be removed.
Ian Farrell HALOSOURCE, Inc.
From your description I take it that the salts are dried by letting the open containers sit by the window. The problems that could occur with this process is that (1) the salts have not thoroughly dried and the additional mass you have observed is from water that have not been completely removed, (2) that salts did dry completely but not they have absorbed moisture from the air and a hydrate complex has formed where the water molecules are now chemically bound to the salts.
If you have access to an oven and a desiccator, a good approach would be to dry the salts in a drying oven (at approximately 130deg-C for several hours) and then allowed to cool in a desiccator (a chamber with some drying agent, like Dririte [copper sulfate with a blue dye that indicates it is still working], that keeps the environment dry).
If this is not possible, there are alternative ways to present the conservation of mass. For example, you could place some vinegar in an Erlenmeyer flask, some baking soda inside a rubber balloon, attach the balloon to the Erlenmeyer flask and weigh it. Then, by tilting the balloon so that the baking soda drops into the vinegar, a reaction happens. The balloon will expand because of the produced CO2 and students can see bubbling - a chemical reaction has happened. But the mass before and after the reaction should remain the same. . . . later on, you can even use this apparatus to show diffusion as the mass will go down when the CO2 starts to escape.
Hope this helped.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius)
The formation of hydrates is considered a chemical reaction. For example:
NaCl(s) + 2H2O(g) --> NaCl.2H2O(s)
where the chemical and physical properties of the NaCl(s) differs from that of the NaCl.2H2O(s) complex.
This can be more readily shown in hydrates that differ in color with the anhydrous salt. CuSO4.5H2O is blue, heating it will cause the water to be released and form the grey-white CuSO4. If you heat the salt inside a test tube and with a bunsen burner, you can actually see the water condense at the top of the test tube.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius)
The Fleischmann/Pons Corollary to Murphy's Law says: A lab that worked perfectly when you did it will never come out right for the students.
Seriously, if you start with commercial salt, say from the store, the salt is most likely very dry that is, water that salt normally absorbs has been driven off in the processing. Salt is hydroscopic; it will absorb water into its crystal structure if given a chance. That is why salt in places with high humidity, like the seashore, clumps up and does not pour well. That is why people put rice grains in their shakers.
The salt that remains in the cups after evaporation probably contains absorbed water. This water that was not in the original salt, may well be the source of your increased weight.
Try the following:
a) Give students salt that has already been through the cycle of dissolving and drying out. This salt should have the extra absorbed water in it and should give more consistent results.
b) You could also try heating the dried salt to drive off more water although that would need explanation and might confuse you students.
c) Replace the salt with something else.
Best of luck.

Hi Marjean,
There may be a few things at play. You do not give details about how you dry the salt, but there is a possibility that your salt after drying has higher water content than when you started. Did you ever notice when you open a new container of salt the grains are all free flowing, but after a time you get some clumps? That is because water vapor from the air helps bind the salt crystals together, and the weight of the salt would be slightly higher. If you add water to the containers in your experiment a second time, and dry it a second time, does it go back to the second initial weight, or is it even higher?
If it is even higher on the third weighing, then you may have dust or other material falling into your containers. A test of that would be to weigh an empty container left out in the same place at the same times. If its weight also rises then that is at least part of the change.
You can use this as a teaching lesson to your students about the scientific method. Have them explore hypotheses about why the salt would weigh more, and have them devise ways to test those hypotheses.
Don Yee
Well, it is good you are starting with distilled water. Have you done a control in which they have a cup with only water in it, and measure its mass before and after the water evaporates?
Other possibilities include alkaline compounds in the water that scavenge carbon dioxide from the air. Another possibility is that the salt crystals that form upon evaporation of the water contain water included in them, making their mass seemingly greater than before.
Richard Barrans, Ph.D., M.Ed.
Department of Physics and Astronomy
University of Wyoming
Critical question -- did you use "table salt"? Table salt, in contrast to "pure" salt contains a small amount of silicon dioxide, to prevent clumping. So the silicon dioxide gives a "false" positive weight.
This may not explain your "too massive" weight, but it certainly needs to be checked. Nonetheless, the discrepancy is an important lesson -- when the result does not match the prediction, what is going on? I commend you for not ignoring it.

Prague - The Czech government will not guarantee purchasing prices of electricity in connection with the completion of nuclear power plant Temelin, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka (Social Democrats) said during a question time in parliament today.
According to the daily Hospodarske noviny, energy group CEZ CEO Daniel Benes said earlier that CEZ would not sign a contract for Temelin´s completion unless the guaranteed purchasing price of electricity or another scheme was agreed with the state.
In today´s issue of the daily Lidove noviny, Benes denied that price guarantees were a condition for Temelin´s completion.
"The new government is not willing to provide guarantees for purchasing prices of electricity that could be a big financial burden for households and firms in the next decades ...," said Sobotka.
The new cabinet has to consider if its stance on the extension of the south Bohemian plant will be identical with that of the previous government with whose consent CEZ launched the tender process, said Sobotka.
The cabinet will be taking into account debates in the European Commission on the climate package and revision of the Czech energy policy that will undoubtedly recommend conditions for possible finalisation of the Temelin tender, Sobotka said.
Benes told the weekly Ekonom, out early in January, that a contract with the winner of the tender might be signed in the second quarter of 2015. This year the firm expects to hold talks with the bidders.
"... I cannot imagine that we would sign a fully effective contract on the extension of Temelin before getting a contract for difference or other business scheme," said Benes.
Under the contract for difference, fixed purchasing prices of electricity would be ensured for a certain period of the operation of new units at Temelin. If market prices were lower CEZ would get money from the state and if they were higher the difference between the market and the agreed price would be paid by CEZ to the state budget.
The firms that remained in the Kc200-300bn tender for the construction of units three and four at Temelin are the US-Japanese consortium Westinghouse and the Czech-Russian Consortium MIR.1200.
France´s Areva was the third firm that expressed interest in the project but CEZ disqualified it from the battle over serious shortcomings in the submitted offer. Details were not disclosed.
Last October the Regional Court in Brno issued an injunction on Areva´s request under which CEZ cannot sign a contract with the winner of the tender. Areva´s removal and the tender process are being investigated by the European Commission.

Officials are warning of environmental hazards lurking in the rubble, water, and air of tornado-ravaged Joplin, Mo., as residents embark on a massive cleanup effort.
Contaminants may come from ruptured containers leaking chemicals into the city's water, as well as asbestos from ruined buildings.
So far, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not discovered any serious pollution problems. Nevertheless, they're still cautious.
"Until the systematic assessment of the tornado's impact area is complete, it is not possible to fairly evaluate levels of risk or priorities for environmental response," EPA spokesman Chris Whitley said in an email.
Meanwhile, the number of people unaccounted for after last week's tornado in is down to 29 on Tuesday. Officials aren't certain of the death toll, but the number of remains is 146.
Victims of the May 22 tornado are dealing not only with the loss of loved ones, many with being suddenly homeless.
The twister wiped out nearly one-third of the city, destroying 8,000 buildings and leaving as many as 20,000 people without homes.

Hops on the Hill: Fourth Edition
Tonight, Aug. 4, marks the fourth in our series of all things summer – craft brews, food and music on a lawn. Only two more chances to catch our Hops on the Hill series happening on Tuesday nights up here on our lawn at Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley. We'll taste a collection from Red Rock Brewery, our very own Chef Zane's masterpiece food paring, and music from the talented Mister Sister.
The series, which started July 17, has just two more days left – tonight, Aug. 7, and next Tuesday, Aug. 14. Tonight, the festivities will start at 4:30 p.m. with dinner and some tastings. At 6:30 p.m., Mister Sister will start jamming on the lawn. This past week, Wasatch Beers brought in a selection for tasting, this week Red Rock Brewery will take the tasting stand.
Red Rock Brewery started collecting awards in 1996 on an international level with several different entities. They've picked up accolades from the North American Brewers Association, the Great American Beer Festival, the Beer World Cup, and more recently from the Australian International Beer Awards. In all, they've collected 75 national and international medals for their craft.
Red Rock Brewery is well known in the area from their three restaurant locations in Murray, downtown Salt Lake City, and in Park City at the Junction. Each location serves about 14 of their drinks on tap, including three sodas. Their most popular is usually the Elephino Double IPA. Come out tonight to find out which beers get paired with which summer food classics.
For tickets to the pairing adventure, check out our Facebook page. Tickets run $30 in advance, $35 at the door and $125 for the series.

The history of every field of scholarly inquiry is a part of intellectual and cultural history, and the essays gathered here attempt to illustrate that point, from a variety of angles, in relation to bibliographical scholarship. In the first section, there are six broad retrospective pieces, surveying bibliographical history from the vantage point of several institutional anniversaries: the seventy-fifth and hundredth birthdays of the Bibliographical Society of America, the hundredth of the Grolier Club and the Bibliographical Society (London), and the fiftieth of the Osler Library and The Book Collector. The wide purview of these pieces provides the context for the sixteen essays in the second section, each of which is more narrowly focused.
Two of them deal with individual periodicals (Studies in Bibliography and the Bibliographical Society's News Sheet) and two with the development of descriptive bibliographies (of American authors and eighteenth-century books). Other essays cover the writing of publishing history, the theorizing about the scientific nature of bibliography, the recording of copyrighted books, the indexing of bibliographical periodicals, and the preserving of booksellers' catalogues. One takes up the production of a major reference work (the ESTC), and another the role of a single locality (Indianapolis) in book history. The Grolier Club is the subject of two contrasting styles of history: a journalistic account of current events (the Club's centenary festivities) and a retrospective investigation of a bibliographical activity (the mounting of exhibitions as practiced at the Club). The fiftieth anniversary of the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia also receives journalistic treatment. Textual criticism and scholarly editing have a place here because they are so intimately tied to the study of the physical objects that transmit texts. The two essays on textual matters explore, first, the traditions of scholarly editing and, second, how those traditions have been applied or misapplied to visual and aural works. A final essay, serving as an epilogue to the volume, discusses bibliographical history as a field, defining it, surveying previous work to build on, and suggesting the value of producing more such work.

FRANKLIN — The field has been set for the 81st Annual Women's Amateur Championship scheduled for June 24-28 at Vanderbilt Legends Club, in Franklin.
A total of 89 women will be participating in the event — the largest entry since 2008 when the event was hosted by The Honors Course, in Chattanooga.
This year, the Committee has revised the format so everyone, regardless of age and ability level, can be competitive. With participants selecting the division they wish to compete in during the tournament entry process, players will be able to compete against players of similar ability levels. Both the Championship Division and the Flighted Division will compete in a 36-hole stroke play qualifier to determine the positions for match play. The Championship Division will play at approximately 6,000 yards and the Flighted Division will play from approximately 5,400 yards. Currently, 62 ladies will be competing in the Championship Division while 27 will be in the Flighted Division.
Looking at the list of participants for this year's championship, 2012 champion Lauren Stratton is not among the 89 players set to take part in next week's event. Following the conclusion of her collegiate career, Stratton turned professional. While she will defend her 2012 title at the Golf Capital of Tennessee Women's Open later this summer competing as a professional, Stratton leaves the amateur title up for grabs among a talented and competitive field.
Kendall Martindale, a rising junior at Vanderbilt University, is back to try for another championship after falling to Stratton in the semifinal match of the 2012 championship. Martindale claimed the 2011 Tennessee Women's Amateur and Tennessee Women's Open titles — one of only three women to ever win the coveted double in the same year. In addition to her wins in 2011, Martindale also won the 2010 and 2008 Tennessee Girls' Junior Championship.
Another player with Vanderbilt ties, Courtney Chandler (formerly Wood) graduated from Vanderbilt in 2004. Besides helping her team win the 2004 Southeastern Conference Championship, Chandler also won the Tennessee Women's Open twice in 2005 and 2002 — the only player to win the title multiple times. Because of her outstanding victory in 2002, Chandler was named co-Tennessee Amateur Player of Year in 2002. Following her collegiate career, Chandler turned professional in 2004, playing on the Duramed Futures Tour for two years with conditional status on the LPGA in 2005 before retiring from professional golf at the end of that season and regaining her amateur status in 2009.
In addition, Crossville's Jean Roise joins the championship. Last season, Roise claimed the Tennessee Women's Four-Ball title at Johnson City Country Club with partner Carole Fuller before winning the Tennessee Women's Senior Amateur title at Oak Ridge Country Club. As the 2012 Senior Amateur Player of the Year, Roise hopes to add another Tennessee title to her list of accomplishments. Another college player ready to make her mark this season is Hermitage's Sarah Harris. Currently a rising sophomore at the University of Kentucky, Harris won the 2012 Tennessee Girls' Junior Championship.

First impression (law)
First impression (known as primae impressionis in Latin) is a legal case in which there is no binding authority on the matter presented. Such a case can set forth a completely original issue of law for decision by the courts. A first impression case may be a first impression in only a particular jurisdiction. In that situation, courts will look to holdings of other jurisdictions for persuasive authority.
In the latter meaning, the case in question cannot be decided through referring to and/or relying on precedent. Since the legal issue under consideration has never been decided by an appeals court and, therefore, there is no precedent for the court to follow, the court uses analogies from prior rulings by appeals courts, refers to commentaries and articles by legal scholars, and applies its own logic. In cases of first impression, the trial judge will often ask both sides' attorneys for legal briefs.[1]
In some situations, a case of first impression may exist in a jurisdiction until a reported appellate court decision is rendered.
Notable invocations[edit]
In the 2009 confirmation hearings of Sonia Sotomayor for the United States Supreme Court, Senator Jon Kyl, argued that the New Haven, Connecticut firefighter case that Sotomayor and her appeals court colleagues dismissed was a "case of first impression" so Sotomayor might not have been following precedent, as she has argued.[2]
In United States v. LaFleur, 971 F.2nd 200,[3] the Ninth Circuit was confronted with the issue of whether or not "duress" is a valid defense to murder under 18 U.S.C, 1111(a), such as that mitigates murder to manslaughter.[4] The court declared, "This is an issue of first impression, and our review is de novo."[5]

Looks like this may be our last day of sun for a couple of days but a little rain never scares the fish away. Taking advantage of the sunshine, eager, smiling faces were out on the dock as some beautiful fish were weighed in at the scale.
Tyler Thorne from Shawnigan Lake brought in a 20 pound Chinook, and Mike Hudie got a beautiful a 22 pounder.
When Graham Hammel of Stony Plain, AB hefted a nice 39 pound halibut onto the hook, we thought he had fish of the day. That was until Chris Prochak of Lynnwood, WA strutted over with what turned out to be a 75 pound hali and became the new halibut leader in the May Madness derby! Nice!
Also noteworthy is Sherry Loyer, our giftshop guru. Sherry is leading our staff derby with a 22 pound Lingcod. Nice bucketmouth, Sherry!

Apr 9th 2009 4:35PM Curious if Medros even listened to The Instance 141 because that is NOT what Scott and Kurt were saying at all. WoW is going strong. They never said it was "done for." Your misrepresentation of that episode is laughable.
The Instance never "pulls things out of their arse." Well, maybe sometimes Scott does, but typically for a laugh. Kurt, Randy and Scott have insightful observations and I've become a better player since listening to them.
I suggest Medros re-listen to that episode.

3CE Chosen to Power U.S. Census Bureau Schedule B Search Engine
MONTREAL -- (February 10, 2010) - The United States Census Bureau has selected 3CE Technologies to provide enhanced Harmonized System (HS) classification search on its website.
U.S. exporters and authorized agents are legally required to file electronic export information when shipping goods abroad. To complete their export declarations, exporters must classify products using HS-based Schedule B codes. The Census Bureau's Foreign Trade Division provides a keyword-based search tool to help exporters determine their proper commodity codes. Currently, the Schedule B search tool receives approximately 3 million queries per year, and is the most commonly used method for classifying products.
Despite its popularity, the current Schedule B tool is limited. While every physical product is classifiable in the Schedule B nomenclature, not every item can be classified using the keyword-based tool. With increasingly complex and diverse products, misclassification is common. Furthermore, keyword (even those with thesauruses) simply cannot classify many products.
In selecting 3CE, the Census Bureau has found a way to make commodity classification easier and ensure more accurate trade statistics.
The new schedule B search engine will provide a smarter, more intuitive, and more accurate way to classify products. 3CE is uniquely able to understand and interpret common commercial product information, and drives the commodity classification process by interacting intelligently and intuitively with users.
"We are pleased to have been chosen by an organization whose mission is devoted to statistical reporting accuracy," said 3CE President Randy Rotchin. "We look forward to helping US exporters with their commodity classification needs."
The 3CE-powered Schedule B search engine will be available at http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/schedules/b/#search beginning March 1.
For additional information about 3CE and its industry-leading Harmonized System classification and audit software, visit www.3ce.com.
About 3CE:
3CE Technologies is a private software development company based in Montreal, Canada. Since 1999, the company has been dedicated to solving international trade's most difficult and error-prone process - Harmonized System (HS) commodity classification.
The company's flagship solution, eponymously called "3CE" (the Commodity Code Classification Engine) is widely considered the smartest and most intuitive HS classification and HS code verification software in the world. 3CE has demonstrated a prodigious ability to read and understand readily available commercial product information - no matter how it is expressed - and automatically delivers its proper HS code.
Used by a variety of organizations worldwide, including enterprise shippers, logistic service providers, preshipment inspection companies, postal organizations, and governments, 3CE has become known for its remarkable ability to deliver workplace efficiencies, enhance global trade opportunities and reduce exposure to customs compliance penalties and duty payment errors.

Hi, basically, I have a sky +HD box and have been having a problem for a week or so. I can't change the channel when i am recording a programme, as it comes up with the message that you cannot record two programmes at one time and that i must select a recording to delete. However I am only recording one programme, not two. What can i do to fix this problem? Any help will be very much appreciated.
Solved! Go to the solution

Hi n+afsar, a planner rebuild should help.
on 12-12-2010 11:57 AM
Hi, Malcom. Tried the planner rebuild, however it hasn't resolved the problem. Is there anything else i can try. Is it possible that it is to do with the wires in the back off the box?
on 12-12-2010 12:11 PM
Hi n+afsar
Is one of the channels you're recording or tuned to a BBC channel ?
The reason I ask is because I've had a similar issue (and reported it directly to Sky) where when tuned or recording a BBC channel that it seems to confuse the current software.
Cheers, sarge
on 13-12-2010 08:28 PM
No, it seems to be all the channels. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Much help would be appreciated please. thanks
on 13-12-2010 08:46 PM
Hi again
It would be worth checking the signal levels you are getting.It should be one of the options availble under Services.
If you've only got one feed working properly then that would explain the issue straightaway but if they are both ok then it could be the software. Other possible causes are cable not tight enough in back of box, fault in the cable between the box/LNB or the LNB itself. If it's outside then it may mean an engineer callout.
Suggest you start with checking the signal level/quality, also check to make sure single feed option is not set to Yes in the Installer Menu - post back if they are not ok otherwise try another reboot and see if that helps.
Please let us know how you get on. Hope this helps.
Cheers, sarge

Police in Australia have not ruled out the possibility that an unidentified woman nicknamed "Angel," whose remains were found in Belanglo State Forest two years ago, was the victim of Matthew Milat. Milat, 17, is the great-nephew of Ivan Milat, a convicted serial killer who killed seven young hikers in Belanglo forest in the 1990s. The younger Milat is himself a convicted killer — earlier this year he was sentenced to 43 years for murdering his friend David Auchterlonie with an axe in the same forest where his great-uncle killed his victims. In a confession, Milat told police he was "doing what my family does" when he and accomplice Cohen Klein brutally butchered their 17-year-old victim to death.
The fact that Angel's body was found in the same forest where both Milat men killed their victims has led to speculation about her possible killer. Police say the injuries found on her body indicate that Angel was murdered. Ivan Milat was already in prison when Angel was killed, but police are considering the possibility that Matthew Milat may be responsible for her death. "Could it have been Matthew? It's something we can't rule out," said homicide Squad chief Mick Willing. According to information received by police, Angel, like three of Ivan Milat's victims, may have been a German backpacker. Dr. Julian Parmegiani, a criminal profiler, has said that Angel's killer may be a Milat copycat who followed the serial killer's career. Matthew Milat may fit this profile, but Willing isn't making any announcements: "The possibility Matthew Milat is involved is something I really won't speculate about. To be honest, I doubt it, but until we know who the young woman is we can't rule out anything. After that we can look at suspects."
Forensic experts say Angel died anywhere from six months to ten years before her body was found by cyclists in 2010. She is believed to have been between 13 and 25 when she died. Near her remains was a sock, a shoelace, an earring, and a decomposing t-shirt with the word "Angelic" written on it. Police released an image of the t-shirt, which was made by the brand "Chain Reaction for Girls." This label, police say, is no longer sold in New South Wales but was available in the mid 2000s.

I just found this coffee table on Craigslist -- for $8!!!
It has paint on the top, and some scratches and a few little places where the wood is lifted up a little. I have my little orbital sander out ready to go tomorrow (if the rain holds off and I can do it on the deck). I do believe the piece is solid oak, but I'm wondering if it's veneered on the top just by the slight raising up in places. There is also a bit of scuffing on the edges and the feet. Do you please have any tips for how to turn this back into the beauty it used to be? |

this table is perfect for that shabby chic look...scratches and dings just wonderful lol....you can go get the ivory distress kit at wallmart if youve never shabby chiced its so easy....anyway post a pic after your done whatever you decide |
Thanks for your reply. This is a gift for my son and he's not into shabby chic. I've been sanding the top and it's not perfectly blended yet... the damaged spots still show up as slightly blonder irregular patches. Do I need to blend them completely with sanding, or will the stain handle that? I'm a little afraid there is veneer on the top and of going through it. |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 07 at 17:18
I think those tables were solid oak, no veneer. I actually like some dings and gouges in the wood myself--just gives it more "history". ;o) I think just a good sanding to make the top nice and smooth again and then a new coat of poly or varnish should do it. It looks like a nice sturdy table. Luvs |
Thanks. I finished sanding it. I had to sand it because it had some raised places and some deep scratches, not just because someone decided to use it as a painting bench several times. The bottom of the table is solid and the top is veneered. I stained it tonight and have put on the first coat of tung oil. It's not perfect and I didn't dare sand any deeper. There are a few small scratches and dings still showing, but nothing glaring -- just enough for a little patina. It looks about a billion percent better than it did. I'm really happy! I sure hope my son loves it as much as I do. I think he's going to be very surprised at this gift and it will look wonderful in his home. |
I think it looks great as-is. (or was)Looks very heavy...and nice with your floor. |
Thanks, Ashli. The top was pretty rugged when I got it. It had quite a bit of paint on it. I could have just stripped that. But I had to sand because it had gouges and raised places as well. That didn't show in the picture above. I've applied my third coat of tung oil now and it's getting shinier with every coat. I hope my son loves it! He's getting it early as I have no place to store it... right now it's in the middle of my kitchen. I'm not even sure how I'm going to get it over there. I told him today he's going to have to come and get his present. lol |

This week in Lucky assistant world, we're finding pleasure in the simple things: rose gold nails, shoe psychology and quirky rings.
Leigh Gill – fashion assistant
This polish by OPI is surprisingly versatile and subtle. The great thing is that it doesn't have that gritty texture like most glitter versions.
Sophie Dupin — Lucky Kids market assistant
While playfully poking fun at a friend's roomy grandpa sweater, I realized that I actually really needed one for myself! Such a great alternative to a jacket in cooler weather.
Sajel K. Shah – beauty assistant
These are lined with fur. And I must own them.
Katy Smith – fashion assistant
Lipstick preoccupations are rampant in this office. This one is quickly becoming my daily go-to. I chose "London," a nude-y pink color. Love the creamy formula and built-in sharpener!
Bobby Schuessler – lucky breaks contributor
This particular pullover has become a staple in our fashion closet. We're going crazy over how roomy and soft it is. Add a leather skirt, tights and boots and you have a perfect October look.
Margaret Williamson – fashion market assistant
I love that these slipper flats have that right kind of smoking-jacket-and-a-pipe feeling without being too campy.
Noelle Sciacca – fashion market assistant
Hand-written post cards and letters make people feel special in a way that an email or Tweet just can't match. This is a book of quirky sketches that can be torn out and shipped via snail mail. The best part is you can add your own color, scribbles, and details! Now only if they came with stamps….
Bobby Schuessler – lucky breaks contributor
This new book landed on my desk recently and I immediately ran to our fabulous shoe closet with my copy in hand. The book describes what your choice of footwear says about your personality. Yes, I ended up trying on shoes for an hour after reading this. I can definitely describe myself as "minimalist" shoe man since classic black boots and oxfords are my usual favorites.
Margaret Williamson – fashion market assistant
When I need a little pick-me-up, I treat myself to a new candle. It's such a cheap way to put a little luxury into any room. My latest find is this masculine, woodsy scent that's a nice break from my usual white flower choices.
Adrianna Barrionuevo— assistant fashion credits editor
The downside to my amazing new apartment is the fact that I do not have room for a dining table or a desk. I discovered this lap desk and now my problems are solved. The retro polka dot is adorable and I'm loving the built-in cup holder!
Dana Mendelowitz – contributing accessories assistant
I love, love, love these stacking rings from Kristy Lin! They are like an adult Mr. Potato Head, but for your finger!
Mayme Stansfield – fashion closet assistant
Somehow Mariko Suzuki, Lucky's accessories assistant, has never seen Clueless. I'm making it my personal mission to remedy this immediately.

This product has been discontinued
This is my favorite pink blush by MAC I absolutely adore it.
- I could not decide between well dressed and this one, but decided to go for this one because well dressed is a bit too cool toned for me. Pink swoon is slightly warmer which I like and it has no shimmer. Well dressed does have a hint of shimmer to it.
- Although it looks very pigmented at first, it really isn't. Gives a natural, baby pink flush to the cheeks. Very girly and a true pink color.
- Would recommend for fair skin, it's a sheertone. It is buildable but I'd say choose a darker shade on another complexion because I don't see the point of building this one. I think its beauty is that sheer, natural tone. Great for beginners as well, not likely to leave a pink stripe on your cheek. Lovely to work with.
I would buy it again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a matte bubblegum pink blush. It looks pretty bright in the pan but since it is a sheertone finish, it gives a nice medium-pink flush to my cheeks. (I'm an NC30 btw.) I think this would be good for light-medium skin tones. This is a pretty basic color, nothing too special, but a great product to have and one of my favorites for everyday. I do wish Mac blushes had a mirror though, that would be convenient.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm pale with yellow undertones, so finding a good blush that gives my face the right amount of oomph without looking ruddy or orange is not easy. PS is very sheer, buildable pink blush without any shimmer and it really makes my skin glow. It works during winter when its freezing cold and I'm close to NC10 or in the summer with bronzer when I'm nearing CN20 with a little help from the self tanning lotion.
If I ever reach the pan with this blush I will run to buy the next one.
One of my favorite blush from MAC!
If you like pink blushes, this is a must try. It is a beautiful blush and looks very natural and not overdone at all.
I find myself wearing this blush all year long and it isn't a seasonal blush for me because it looks so pretty and natural
Will definitely repurchase if I ever run out!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Like other reviewers said, it's a nice baby-pink shade on cheeks even though it looks frighteningly neon in the pan. I've hit pan on mine and will repurchase when I run out.
My favourite baby pink blush! makes me glow sweetly even without a trace of shimmer. Gives the Kim K perfect soft pink cheek. I actually have 2 of these (received from a swap) and they're different. One is lighter, and the other is slightly brighter and more pigmented. I love them both, and kind of like that they're a little different ..like 2 versions of my favourite blush.
I bought this on a whim one day when I went up to the MAC counter and asked for the perfect natural pink blush that would suit my super pale porcelain complexion. When she picked this one out I thought she was crazy as I usually go for more of a dusty rose but she was spot on in her selection! Whilst it looks scary in the pan it actually provides a nice sheer wash of colour that suits pale skin to a tee. Also being MAC it is finely milled and beautifully pigmented and hence application is a breeze. I usually alternate between either this or Nars- Orgasm depending on the look I want.
I SO love this product, it has no glitter, and look SO natural.. I love it, And sice it have no glitter, it is one of my favorite blushes.
You can use little or much, it is hard to go wrong and look like a clown with this one.
Will buy again!
Wonderful blush. I walked into the Mac store and asked for a blush that would give my skin a perk in the winter weather, no sparkle, no tan, and this is what the salesperson recommended. If you like Benefit's bella bomba, but you want something without all the sheen and glitter, go for this. It gives pale winter skin a nice, natural looking flush and the price isn't terrible. I would repurchase. I'm NW20 for reference.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was at CCO and saw Pink Swoon and Blushbaby. I didn't want to get both and since I had purchased BB before (but ran out of it), i decided to pick up PS since I heard many good reviews on it. Pink Swoon is a bright candy pink color in the pan. It is a sheertone blush so it goes on sheer but supposedly, buildable. This color did NOT show up on me at all. I am a MAC NC 20-25...and I would have to apply multiple layers with a heavy hand in order for it to show. This defeats the purpose of a natural look as I hate piling on makeup. In hindsight, I should have stuck with BB since I had it before but ran out. Wish i could return this, but it's too late. Major disappointment for me.

Ok, 4th year gardening, haven't experienced this before. A few days ago I planted some pepper plants I bought (red/orange pepper plants). I bought them from a local nursery and they looked very healthy. Yesterday, on one of the plants, all the the leaves had fallen off. I checked them this morning and same thing with another one. There are no bugs or anything, and they are perfectly green. I touched one leaf and it fell off. What is causing this? Help! Also, anyone heard of planting matches with your pepper plants for the sulfer? The nursery suggested that. Please advise on that too. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
any chance of pictures? |
No pics, no bugs, Just normal pepper plants, healthy looking, green leaves, happened the day after I planted them........the leaves fell right off. Only the stem is left. It happened to another one today. Very strange. |
- Posted by kosherbaker LA CA-10 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 1, 11 at 0:11
musickep can you call the nursery and ask them if these were sufficiently hardened off. Another possibility might be the temperatures. Peppers do not like temps below 50. Next possibility would be over watering. And the last thing I can think of is over fertilizing. Rudy |
I'm thinking transplant shock, especially if your temps have dropped in this recent cold snap. Peppers are unfortunately prone to it and are sometime slow to take off afterward. If they don''t take off in a few weeks, you'll probably have to replant. Remember to transplant a moist - but not saturated - seedling in a slightly moist, but crumbly soil, then lightly water in with 70-80 degree water. |

Musickep, you do realize that Jean was asking if you could post some pics, not suggesting pictures were the problem. |

Each time I drive the Civic, I am enamored of the whimsical blue-lit split-level gauges in front of me. That, and the low cowl and wide expanse of glass. They are touches that help explain why owning a Civic - for those who don't care about having a mind-bending driving moment - still feels like a special experience long after the new smell wears off.
This particular Civic is loaded with everything any fairly young, hip driver would want - navigation system, Bluetooth, MP3/auxiliary jack, serious stereo system, heated seats, leather trim, and on - in a sensible array. It gets killer fuel economy and is overstuffed with safety features. As we all know, Civics have legendary resale values, too, which makes the $24,000 price tag a bit easier to swallow. But make no mistake - there will be no mind-bending driving moments with this car.

This seems pretty fun with our favorites by 'category', so I'm asking the forum to show/tell your favorite fragrants this time...I'm scratching for topics to get us psyched up til spring, not that we need encouragement...'Fried Bananas' is a favorite of mine for it's sheer vigor and how fragrant its flowers were for me, but I have more; I'm gonna scour my folders for some better pics a little later... Cheers, everybody! P.S. Multiple favorites are OK, and expected! |

I was hoping you'd favor us with some pics of your fragrants, Mocc. You have some beauties there. This is a leaf from one of my 'Guacamole'. I don't have nearly enough pics of my hosta. That will change in a big way this season. Don B. |

mocassinlanding, with the recent changes to photobucket - they have yet to add searches within my album (all photos of my garden are in one album), so had to search in general to find my photo. I guess the link is different as you're seeing that search view - those are not all my photos. That Stained Glass pic is from mid-July - one of those yellows that looks good later. Cathedral Windows - here's a pic from last year - leaves have broadened. Paul |

Well, Ginsu Knife looks like this as of....yesterday I think it was. I say it is a favorite even though I got it near dormancy last October. But look at the ruffled and/or serrated edges on this first early effort! It might be green, but it sure is pretty. |
