Hello - my elderly father just informed me last night (we live 150 miles away) that my parents smelled gas in the basement & upon calling a couple of plumbers to investigate were told that the pipe carrying the gas from outside &above the basement ceiling was leaking. The gas pipe runs from where it is connected from the outside of the house - runs above the basement ceiling - across 3 rooms to the various connections on the other side of the basement. Approximately ~40 ft. Luckily the ceiling is open in the room where it enters the house & also open where it connects to all its distribution points. But the ceiling is closed in between in the 2nd room (gym). My father's recount of the plumbers' estimates is that it appears the leak is closer to where the gas entry is & therefore over a non-closed ceiling. My questions are: 1) The gas company won't take responsibility for any gas issues within the house - is this true? 2) If the leak is indeed over an unclosed ceiling - can the pipe be replaced without tearing down the middle room's ceiling? 3) One plumber is charging $1600 but requires permitting & no replacement of ceiling.
4) Is this where insurance is worth a call? Would appreciate the community's feedback on this please. TIA! |

No, this isn't an insurance issue. It's a standard home repair, which the homeowner should budget for as part of owning your home. It would be if you'd found the leak by lighting a cigarette and now had a fire claim. As far as repairing the leak, why is it leaking? Typically, leaks usually are located at a fitting that isn't tightened properly. It's pretty rare for black iron pipe to become so corroded that it needs to be replaced wholesale from stem to stern. With only the information that you have provided, it doesn't sound like a situation for replacement at all, and would not involve any permits nor even more than about $500 worth of time and material. If for some reason the black iron pipe has managed to become corroded enough to need replacement, then yes, $1600 for replacing the whole thing with a permit does sound to be ballpark. No plumber does drywall, and no plumber should ever do a project that needs a permit without applying for that permit. That, and the higher price would eliminate #2 right now. |
Thanks GreenDesigns - excellent help to us! Yeah strange too that the pipe has corroded - could be - but the house is only 6 years old. |

Something is wrong then, I would bet on a loose joint or something similar. |
TURN OFF THE GAS AT THE METER....NOW!!! This is a dangerous situation, and I can't believe it's gone on so long. The gas company is only responsible up to the meter, but if they are aware there is a leak, they will turn off your gas until you get it fixed. SHUT IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
It was turned off immediately 3 days ago upon discovery. Thanks for the concern & feedback. My dad was able to hire someone reputable yesterday to repair for what greendesign suggested was the most probable cause. I don't have all the details yet but there will be no permits needed or ceiling cut down & reasonable cost. Appreciate all your feedbacks! |

The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame announced its 17th group of inductees, the Class of 2015, on ESPN during the WNBA All-Star game at US Airways Center in Phoenix.

The Class of 2015 will be formally inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame on June 13, 2015 in Knoxville, TN.
With the addition of the Class of 2015, the WBHOF will recognize the 1972-74 Immaculata College Mighty Macs for their contributions to the game in a display at the Hall entitled "Trailblazers of the Game". The Mighty Macs will join the All American Red Heads, Edmonton Grads, the Former Helms/Citizens Savings/Founders Bank, the Wayland Baptist Flying Queens, and the 1976 USA Olympic Team as the only six groups recognized as "Trailblazers of the Game".
The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame's Board of Directors serves as the selection committee in determining which individuals will be inducted each year and which groups will be honored as "Trailblazers of the Game". Voting is based on various factors, which include moral character, integrity, sportsmanship, record of performance, ability, national or international recognition, and contributions to the game of women's basketball.

CARTHAGE, Mo.-Leggett & Platt has teamed with comedy writers from Second City Communications to create a series of web videos focusing on the benefits of the 300ez recliner mechanism.
The videos are available on lpcycleman.com and center on Cycle Man, described in a Leggett & Platt statement as "an eccentric components tester living in a lair beneath Leggett & Platt's headquarters. He's dedicated to ensuring the 300ez recliner mechanism is strong yet easy to use, and employs wild techniques to get the job done."
Pat Cross, vice president of sales and marketing for Leggett & Platt Home Furniture Components Group, said the campaign is "a fun way to remind our customers and retailers that 300ez is different. It's the first recliner mechanism weigh-tested at 300 pounds for 25,000 cycles, and all the testing was done by real people, ensuring strength and ease of use."

blade and sword (pc/2003/full rip)

genre:action role playing
blade and sword is a diablo style action role playing game set in china. It has a heavy emphasis on fighting game elements such as combos, special attacks, and blocking. The game actually pulls off these aspects really well and can be exciting at times. Unfortunately, a poor translation, very repetitive gameplay, and a lack of any multiplayer features mar what otherwise could have been an excellent take on this type of game.
apparently, the death of his beloved horse caused this man to hang himself.
blade and sword takes place 3,000 years in the past, albeit in an alternate past. Its difficult to make out exactly what is happening in the story, though, due to a poor english translation from the original chinese. Theres something about emperors and wars, but all you really need to know is that theres an evil wizard that you need to stop. Wizard wen has opened rifts between three realms, and so creatures from the human, beast, and demon realms can now mingle freely. As such, all sorts of foul monsters have come to terrorize humankind, and its up to you to figure out exactly whats wrong and how to fix it. Rather, its up to you to kill a whole bunch of monsters single handedly.

Things have been thoroughly shaken up in Boston for the Red Sox, as they have signed David Ross to a contract to be added to the catching team. This an interesting prospect for the team and could prove to be bad for the current catching duo of Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ryan Lavarnway. While it remains to be seen how this will affect the team, this should be a very interesting thing as it pertains to the Red Sox and how they rank as a viable choice as one of the peoples favorites MLB picks going into the 2013 season.
Early reports indicate that Ross will be used as much more than just a back up for the team but will not quite be a starter. As it stands now for the Red Sox, Saltalamacchia and Lavarnway have been swapping back and forth with their play time and could be on an endangered species list for the team going forward. The acquisition of Ross on the team shows that they may be blaming the catchers a little bit more than expected for the teams loses the last few years. They are clearly making as many moves as they can in the offseason to ensure that the team is back in the playoffs come September 2013. While they will need to do much more than get a catcher for the team, this is certainly a step in the right direction for the team going forward. If they can get a few more big acquisitions in place, they just might have a chance of not only making the playoffs, but going to the World Series next October.
When it comes to players the Red Sox were going to pick up this offseason, David Ross was not at the top of the list. While this is a good pick up for the team, it raises some big questions for the team going forward.

I have constant pain in my diaphram and I read on a website that a chiropractor, kinesiologist or massage therapist might be trained to perform manulipation on the hernia to keep the stomache out of the chest. Amyone heard of this treatment or tried it and do you know what the results are? Any information will be welcomed and appreciated. |

Hi! We had this conversation last month, if you forgot here is the link to it! Good luck! |

I think she's specifically asking about seeing a chiropractor, etc for the problem. I don't think that was mentioned in the last post. I don't have any answers, but hopefully some one will. If your doctor ok's it, I'd seriously think about trying it; but be sure to check with your doctor first. You never know it could hurt something or make something worse. |

Have you discussed surgical repair with your doctor? Sometimes surgery is the best solution. I would hesitate to try any of the techniques that you mentioned. Any of them would probably ease muscle tension, and that would certainly make you feel better, but I just can't see how it would fix the underlying problem. |
Thank you for your comments. I was concerned about trying this therapy but thought if others had had success, it would be worth it. I will do as you suggested and go back to my doctor and see about surgery repair. It doesn't seem a popular solution here in Canada. Michelle, I appreciated all your imput last month and I have had great improvement on the Reflux. Thank you. Jean |

DH has one and has had for a long time. Now he's bleeding from it and went and had all the test done for the surgery but was told he's not a candidate for it. In July he had to have a blood transfusion and now last Fri. his hemoglobin was so low he had to have an iron infusion. It's something he's going to have to go through the rest of his life. He's been on prevacid for years and now on something else to help with it. |

Jean - I just found your post and the previous thread about hiatal hernias. I have what my doctor called a "sliding" hiatal hernia, meaning that the top of my stomach sometimes slides up through my hiatus into my chest but not always. Most often it is caused by the position I sleep in. If I happen to roll over in my sleep and sleep on my stomach I will wake up in the morning with problems and those problems will get worse during the day and sometimes last for three days. I have moved and changed doctors a few times since my problems first occured and every doctor understood what I meant when I called it a sliding hiatal hernia - but I think different people call it different things. Anyway, with a sliding hiatal hernia you are never a candidate for surgery since your problem is considered temporary. The first thing you need to do is get that endoscopy (if you haven't already). After they scope you they'll know if there is any damage to the esophagus or just how bad the situation is. There are many tricks that sufferers use to calm the situation down, what works for one person may not work for others. There are also many things that will trigger the problem, so your triggers may not be the same as somebody elses. Over time you will discover what triggers your problem and what techniques solve the problem but without surgery to correct it you may never be cured of it (don't think I am promoting the surgery - I'm not. But I do know people that love the outcome of their hiatal hernia surgery. My problem isn't surgery worthy). The mechanics involved with a hiatal hernia make me think that there is little any of the professions you mentioned could do for you except maybe help calm your nerves. The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm muscle. I just can't imagine a massage or similar treatment that would affect it. Breathing exercises could improve its strength but this problem is not due to a weakness of the diaphragm. Stretching your torso could help re-align your internal organs but as far as I know there isn't an stretching position that targets the esophagus or stomach (organ). It took me over a year to calm mine down. If things get bad I sleep in a recliner (the elevated bed trick didn't help me). I drink apple cider vinegar every day whether I'm having a problem or not. I no longer take any drugs for this problem. The best treatment for me was to get up and walk around, back when things were really bad the dog got plenty of midnight walks around the block. |
Hello Patches & Trianglejohn - your postings are encouraging. Just an update: I have been on meds. 3 1/2 mo. and following the DO NOT list and the MUST DO lists and I mean every single item listed. I am feeling much better and I feel I am managing the reflux very well now. I also had choking (aspiration) sessions 4 times/day and 3-4 times each night. They were so exhausting but they have just stopped and I am so relieved. The hiatal hernia is still my biggy!!! I cannot bend the slightest or I get severe pain. By slightly I mean, brush my teeth, make the bed, sweep floor and just forget about tying shoes or picking up something off the floor. I want this hernia surgically repaired but I don't know who to see or how to push to get it done. Last week I had a colonoscopy done and I told the Gasteroligist??sp about this hernia. He said if I sent my endoscope report and a referral by my doctor he would look at it and set up an office appointment for me. He is very good! I guess it is a start. What qualifies you to have the hernia repaired? I have gained some excess weight that I would like to loose but I find it hard to do exercises and I am scared of setting off a painful attack. I do walking even if I get sore but I was wondering about other things like crunches, weights. Do any of you have suggestions? |
- Posted by trianglejohn (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Aug 15, 08 at 16:24
To me it sounds like you should get the surgery but I'm not a doctor. There isn't much more you can do, any strenuous movements will set off an attack so you won't be able to exercise to lose weight until the hernia goes away. Apple Cider vinegar is just a tool to re-train your stomach when to make stomach acid and in what strength and what amount. It doesn't do anything to acid reflux. I was told that as we age our stomach lining gets lazy about stomach acid production (part of this could be due to H. pylori bacteria which is everywhere and pretty much everyone over the age of 40 that drinks city water has it). Splashing the walls of your stomach with tiny amounts of acid help to re establish the right acid at the right time. For me it took a solid year of sipping to see permenant results. All the pills available are acid supressors meaning they either stop completely or cut in half the amount of acid your stomach makes. This isn't a great thing for your stomach or food, since the acid bath your stomach performs is an important function - BUT, you don't want extra stomach acid splashing up into your esophagus either which is what normally happens with a hiatal hernia. So I would keep taking acid reflux pills if you are. You need to slow down acid production until you solve the hernia thing. It sounds to me like the top of your stomach is poking up into your chest cavity like permenant hiatal hernia does. Either the stomach gets pinched by the muscles of the hiatus and this causes pain or the opening (hiatus) itself gets stressed by all the object poking through it (also painful). The surgery they used to do (10 years ago) was to simply go into your belly through tiny little openings (no big incisions) and take the top portion of your stomach (which is like a floppy rubber sack) and stretch a section of it up and around the junction where the stomach and esophagus meet. This little wrap around of stomach tissue makes the top of you stomach stay below your hiatus which would end the pain. It works like thick rubber band around the bottom of your esophagus. Your stomach adapts after a while to it so you can then eat normally (stomachs are stretchy and flexible). Everyone I know that had this surgery loved the results. It was considered a minor ordeal with minimal time under anesthesia and only a few tiny scars. In their case it was covered by insurance and not that expensive. I don't believe they will do the surgery without first performing a endoscopy of your esophagus, which is similar to a colonoscopy but without the 'cleaning out' chemicals. |
Reading the above is very similar to myself. I have found elevating the bed to be really helpful. More helpful than I thought for such a little increase in height. In bed I hardly notice the difference. Diet has taken a little longer to perfect, just knowing how much of something I cant eat and how much is too far. I found: www.teammead.co.uk/hiatushernia really helpful. Foods that I didn't think would upset my stomach are listed here, so I try to avoid these now as well. It has helped me alot though. Happily enjoying the small treats. i do find though that the Omeprazole does sometimes leave me feeling a little sick in the morning, however aftre maybe 1 hour it tends to die down. Somebody suggested to me that I try taking it at evening, instead of first thing in the morning, but im worried having an empty stomach overnight will cause worse feelings than I get in the morning with feeling sick. |

A hiatal hernia is generally located in the stomach area or the esophagus, the swallowing tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. This tube passes through the diaphragm, and often grows too wide, causing acids and foods from the stomach to regurgitate back up into the tube. Hiatal or hiatus is the medical name for an opening or tear. Therefore, a hiatal hernia often occurs if a small portion of the stomach is pushed up through that opening, causing symptoms such as heartburn and chest pain as well as acid reflux. A variety of treatments for hiatal hernia repair are available, including laparoscopic surgery. |

I too have a HH. It seems that whenever I have a bowel movement I feel bad afterwards. And it seems sometimes after going up a flight of stairs. Does anyone else feel worse after these two? |
I thought the HH was in your esophagus, how could a chiropractor help with that. Do not drink ingest vinegar. It causes your body to retain water and you may go into congestive heart failure. My Sister told our Mom to drink water with a little bit of vinegar in it. Her legs started to swell and the doctor said he was giving her water pills to get rid of fluids and the swelling and here she was drinking vinegar. After she quit drinking it the swelling went away. |

Arrabal–Polo MA et al. – The use of weekly alendronate in patients with recurrent calcium lithiasis and loss of bone mass is safe and effective, curbs lithiasic disease progression, and improves bone mineral density.
Methods- The authors present a unique cohort (before and after study) of 15 patients with recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis and loss of bone mass treated for three years with 70 mg sodium alendronate weekly.
- The sample is divided into two groups by sex (5 men and 10 women, aged 35–65 years).
- The authors assessed clinical progress of both bone and lithiasic disease and urine and plasma markers of both pathologies.
- The authors obtained a significant decrease in calcuria levels after 3 years of treatment (15.1 vs. 10.1; p=0.01), fasting calcium/creatinine quotient (0.16 vs. 0.10; p=0.002), and β–crosslaps (0.596 vs. 0.501; p=0.01).
- Moreover, the authors observed a disease stabilization in 14 of the 15 patients (93.3%), and, in all patients, bone mineral density had improved.
- Neither side effects nor losses of patients were observed after 3 years of treatment.

Saints and Spirits |
Most Voodoo spirits in New Orleans today are, and have been for probably at least two centuries, recognized and personified as Catholic Saints. In the same manner that time and separation have caused the original African dialects to become mostly extinct, replace first by French Creole then Americanized Yat (the idiomatic English dialect unique to New Orleans), both the names, and images, of the ancient Voodoo spirits have translated into the saints. Legba, the guardian of the gateway to the spirit world is St. Peter holding the key to heaven. Aida Wedo, the primary female spirit, patron of all waters, is the Blessed Virgin. Ghédé, the spirit of the crossroads between life and death is St. Expedité. Different places have different interpretations, and even in the same locality the versions differ. Uniquely, in New Orleans, St. Jude with his staff, and tongue of fire, is Ogun, the warrior and blacksmith. In Haiti, Our Lady of Czestochowa, the Polish icon and a black Madonna, is Erzulie Dantor, patron of unwed mothers, protector against domestic violence and patron of lesbians. Today, in New Orleans it is far more common to find on Voodoo altars statues and pictures of saints that any African imagery. Likewise, it is not uncommon to find offerings on the bases of statues of saints in Catholic churches that are as likely Voodoo, as Christian. There is a universally repeated position that since Catholicism was forced upon Africans, and that the appearance of Catholic images, like the presumption of conversion, was merely a ruse to enable the continuation of Voodoo using the Catholic images as a subterfuge. A historical review of this, as in the Code Noir, does find the admonition that slave owners should insure that their slaves are converted. Further investigation, however, finds that slave owners often resisted this direction since a converted slave, especially a couple bound by the Sacrament of Matrimony, obtained certain protections that limited the owners ability to make arbitrary purchases and sales. Even today, there is no formal conflict between the Catholic Church and African Traditional Religions (see the Africae Terrarum of Pope Paul VI in 1967). In fact, there are few practices that compliment each other so well. First, the role of the Voodoo spirits is separate from the role of God. Therefore, to assimilate the church into the Voodoo with the echelon of saints acting as spirits, and the echelon of the church itself addressing God is not a direct conflict. Voodoo always has been, and remains so today, very liberal in accepting and integrating other spiritual beliefs. The Catholic Church is both unique and compatible in that it alone, relating to Voodoo, has both God and spirits (saints), at different echelons, and working in much the same capacities. Also, the Catholic Church stands mostly alone among Christian churches in the veneration of sacred objects, including bones, and in the belief of the transformation of a symbolic object, the Eucharist, into a true spiritual being. In New Orleans the Catholic Church offered both enslaved Africans and free persons of color one of the few refuges from the secular political and social structure. In fact, some historical reports have suggested that active Catholics practices, such as attending Mass, were more generally adhered to by persons of color, than whites. Finally, in the case of Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo Queen, it is alleged she attended Mass daily. While this is impossible to prove, or disprove we do know she was baptized Catholic, was married in the Catholic Church, baptized her children in the Catholic Church, named one of her daughters Marie Heloise Euchariste, maintained the Creole tradition of named all children for a Catholic patron (in this case Marie), was buried in a Catholic cemetery and tat her youngest daughter maintained she was in fact a pious and devout Catholic. A contempoary free woman of color, and probably a relative of Marie Laveau, Henriette Delille, founded an order of black nuns and is currently being considered for sainthood by the Vatican. Also, and most tellingly, Marie Laveau was know as well for her good works, as a yellow fever nurse, as spiritual advisor to condemned prisoners, as a person who took in orphans, none of which acts required her to pretend to be Catholic.

Summer Musings
In my neck of the woods, summer weather is all but upon us. No promises, but it's possible we'll have no more frosts until October. The kids are getting antsy in anticipation of being out of school. Neighbors start talking about their summer vacation plans. We roll out our favorite summer scents.
If you sell or make for yourself special scented items to celebrate summer, what are they? Some like the fruits of summer–berries of many kinds, melons, tropical mangoes, papayas and pineapples. Others like summer flowers such as roses, lilies, iris and sunflowers. Still others think of grass, herbs and other "green" scents. If that's not enough, think of the rain and ocean types of fragrances that remind us of a soft summer rain or that camping trip we took oceanside. Oh, and don't forgot other fanciful food scents such as toasted marshmallows, cotton candy and ice cream.
Makes me wonder how many people have bitten into a soap or candle, hoping it was something more tasty!
If not special summer scents, then perhaps you offer products for summer use, such as after-sun lotion or an extra light moisturizer.
Candlemakers, do you find that as temperatures soar, sales drop? If so, do you notice that offering special summer scents or products appeals to your customers' summer frame of mind so that you can keep those sales up?
I confess that for myself, lighting a candle seems less inviting on a hot, humid evening than it did on a cold one in January. Still, for an outdoor evening soiree, I could be convinced to burn a tabletop full of them.
No matter how you look at it, the dog days of summer will soon be calling. Will you be ready?
Until next time, may you be happily entrenched in bubbles and wax.

This weekend, it's time to go apes**t.
But before unleashing your primal side, you'll need to do some investigating because the location of this ridiculous jungle party is totally classified.
Lucky for you, we have a source on the inside of tomorrow's Clever Ape Race, so let's break it down:
First step
Head to Redmond's Ale House, where the challenges begin over $3 drafts and $4 vodka lemonades. These tests — ranging from mixing the perfect Mai Tai to on-the-spot improv — will earn you clues to the location of the simian fiesta.
Be prepared
Participating primates will also need to use their brains to answer local trivia questions, such as how many mannequins are in the front window at Ragstock; or how many beers are on tap at Goose Island Wrigleyville (hint: ##).
Pro tip
Ape teams may only use public transit to find the answers to such questions, and could also be asked to bring back random objects including pink feathers or a free Cubs tchotchke. So tell your date to wear a fanny pack.
Once the location of jungle party has been discovered (hint: it's a loft space somewhere in Lakeview), it's time to treat yourself to all the bananas, jungle art, and craft cocktails you can handle.
Gorilla suits optional.
Clever Ape Race
Saturday, September 7
Starts at Redmond's Ale House, 3358 N. Sheffield Ave., Wrigleyville
(773) 404-2151
Price: $30 here

Fantastic Stone

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about King Combination Waterstone, 8" x 2" x 1", 1000/6000 Grit :
Great stone. I use this on almost everything I sharpen. Super results every time. Buy it, you will love it too.
First attempt at honing

About Me Beginner
I used this in my first attempt at honing chisels. Took a little,work but this stone was great, they all have mirror finishes now.
My second 1K/6K combination stone
By Doc Cloud
from Fayetteville, NC
About Me Professional
Excellent for maintenance of RAZOR sharp, mirror edges. Requires attention to detail to get it just right, but that's my therapy and I love it. Never a dull knife in my house. Works great on filet knives, as well; I use nothing else.
Fine sharpening is the way to go.

My knives have never been so perfectly sharpened.

This puts and edge on a knife like no other sharpening stone I have ever used.
great tool!!
By Osei
from Mexico City
a great tool for shaping!!, Easy to use and cheap
Combination Waterstone 1000/6000
By Bob the Blade Guru
from Virginia
Excellent stone for knife sharpening. 1000 grit side provides fast and smooth cutting, while the 6000 grit side gives the fine polishing finish to the edge. The 1000 grit wears down faster, so a separate 1000 stone may be needed in the future - after a couple hundred uses or so. The stone is actually a King/Ice Bear Brand, which is a good japanese waterstone. Overall, a great value product and fast shipping service from Woodcraft. I would not hesitate to buy one of these again.
easy razor edge
By Mak
from Moscow, Idaho
A great product. I, a novice sharpener, easly achieved a razor edge on my plane blades and chisels, English and Indian. Far out performed my oil stones, though they aren't anything special but for the price this water stone is a great alternative to expensive Arkansas stones. The 1000/6000 is a great combination to take a blade from start all the way to a great finish.
Truly amazing
By Peter B
from Irvine, CA
1000 side is a perfect transition to 6000 side. The stone's larger size makes it easy to maintain a perfect sharpening angle. This is a very fast and easy to use stone.

Use your Android to scope out and snipe enemies from afar
Army Sniper puts you behind the scope of a standard-issue U.S. Army sniper rifle, which you must use to pick off enemy troops from afar.
Army Sniper puts you behind the scope of a standard-issue U.S. Army sniper rifle, which you must use to pick off enemy troops from afar. Without your long-distance support, your unit has no chance of accomplishing its critical counter-terrorist mission.
Army Sniper's controls are extremely simple. Tap anywhere in the vicinity of an enemy to engage the scope. Then, tilt your mobile device around in space to adjust your aim. Tap the button on the right to shoot, the button on the left to slow your movements and make finer adjustments in your targeting, or anywhere else to disengage the scope. It's all supersmooth, and the tilt-to-move aspect of the game play makes for a uniquely immersive and addictive experience.
But as fun as it is to scope out and shoot terrorists in Army Sniper, there are still a few areas we feel the game could have improved. First, we wish it included an element of defense, or at least a clearly defined way of avoiding fire. As it is now, the game is all about attacking your enemies, with your character getting randomly shot throughout the levels. A way to defend yourself would add a layer of strategy.
Also, there are a considerable number of typographical and grammatical errors throughout the game. While they don't hurt gameplay, they do hurt the credibility of the developers, and should be fixed.
Despite its shortcomings, we still think Army Sniper is an addictive first-person shooting game that's worth downloading. With its unique gameplay, we can see why it's such a popular download in the Android Market.

Tornado Watch in effect A tornado watch remains in effect until 5 p.m. Monday as the remnants of tropical rainstorm Karen make her way up the East Coast. AccuWeather's Danielle Knittle tells WDEL a line of strong thunderstorms is heading our way. "We're going to be looking for that line of some strong storms here working their way in, some very heavy downpours, and perhaps even some damaging wind gusts here - the concern with the initial round of rain that arrives, and then I think, once that initial push goes through, we'll be left with some steady, perhaps locally heavy rainfall up until about 5-6 o'clock this (Monday) evening," says Knittle. The storm is expected to bring temperatures for Wilmington back to normal for October with highs in the upper sixties and low seventies. Stay with WDEL for the very latest with Traffic and Weather together.

Thirty years ago, Aubrey Lindsey, the freshly-appointed principal of the brand-new L.C. Bird High School, was summoned to the legendary Wilson Crump's office. When Lindsey arrived, Crump handed him an envelope that contained a $30,000 check. A stunned Lindsey listened as Crump directed him to establish a first-class athletic program. Crump continued, "They need to look good when they take the field." Then he added, "Get the best coaching staff you can to lead them." With this huge assist from Crump, Lindsey did his part in giving birth to what was to become a Bird athletic dynasty.
On Saturday night at Meadowbrook Country Club, ten new members were inducted into the L.C. Bird Athletic Hall of Fame. Activities Director Ron Paquette presented beautiful awards to each inductee, who in turn addressed the audience, which included family, friends, coaches, and Skyhawk supporters. Speeches were marked by the common thread of family in explaining the athletic success that Bird has enjoyed now for three decades.
Mike Battle spoke of his many blessings, "especially his Bird family, who saw me not only as a great football player, but also as a student and human being of value. They supported me on the field, but also in the school play." He added, "The glue that holds this wonderful family together is the commitment of long-term coaches and administrators at Bird."
Ben Beach was a big strong kid at a football school. Oddly, it was the success of the football team that allowed him to go on to become Bird's all-time scoring and rebounding leader on the basketball court. Football playoffs meant coach Tester was six athletes short for the first month of the season. Beach quipped, "He had no choice but to play me."
Linwood Carroll spoke of his own family, the Carroll-West brood, "that went through everything together." Carroll recognized Tom Brattan, Joe Pici, and John Foege as three coaches who "literally gave their entire lives for the team." He credited Pici, the football coach, for correcting a flaw in his hurdle start that led to a state record clocking in the 110M-high hurdles.
Lynne Gilbert, P.E. department chair at Davis Middle School, was recognized by Barbara Ragland for her great intensity. "Her skills, intelligence, and work ethic led Bird to within one game of a state softball championship … a championship she would later attain as coach at Manchester High School." Gilbert told the coaches in the audience, "You can't begin to understand what you mean to your kids."
Karen West Moten was always one to listen, so when Coach Tester told her that we needed her to score 40 points to win a meet, "I just did it." She took great pride in returning to coach the 1984 Lady Skyhawk track team, even challenging her troops to an occasional race. She noted, however, "I never saw Coach Tester get in the blocks."
Merrill Robertson was introduced as one of the true quality individuals in Skyhawk athletic history. He thanked his father for impressing upon him that he could do anything he wanted to do. He also thanked him for working three jobs to get him out of the city. Merrill is grateful to his coaches for "believing in me more than I believed in myself."
Mark Saunders became a Hall of Famer in an unusual way; his little brother brought him out to wrestling practice to fill a void in the heavyweight division. Mark went on to help make a good team a great one, and took his place on the regional podium each of the next two years. Mark said he was "humbled and thankful" for his induction.
Tim Wade, now a Richmond City police officer, is the most decorated lineman in Bird history. He went on to play at Virginia Tech, where he met his future bride upon entering his very first class. He expressed his thanks to his parents and grandparents, who never missed a game. Wade remembered thinking during a JV game witnessed by the varsity coaches, "Don't screw up now; you'll never make varsity". He also told of his two-year-old son, a future Skyhawk, who "took out a six-year-old the other day!"
Eric Carroll told the crowd that he learned effort from his parents and learned from his coaches that talent was something to be used and never squandered. He shared a quote from his grandma, warning us all that little ears are listening and little eyes are watching. Eric sent a challenge out to the former Bird athletes that it was "their responsibility to go forward to assist those at Bird now and in the future to raise the standards even higher."
Coach Tester was introduced as the night's final inductee. The beloved Tennessean was described as the symbol of Bird athletics. Tester expressed his gratitude to all the great kids and athletes at Bird. He also downplayed his success by saying, "Athletes win games and coaches lose them."
The Hall of Fame induction will be an annual event. The Hall's main fundraiser is its annual golf tournament held in May at Lake Chesdin Golf Club. If you would like more information or would like to play an active role to support the Hall of Fame, please contact Ron Paquette at email@example.com [2].

Tulip Armless Chair, Fully Upholstered
Price: $2,419.00Overview
Design by Eero Saarinen, 1957.
By Knoll.
In his purist approach to architecture and interior design, Finnish-born Eero Saarinen sought the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution within an overall unity of design. To that end, he designed the Fully Upholstered Tulip Chair in terms of its setting - the space the chair would occupy - rather than a particular shape.
The Fully Upholstered Tulip Chair features an upholstered inner shell. Upholstered foam cushions are removable, with a zippered cover and Velcro fastening. Base and shell finishes are available in White or Black. Available with fixed or swivel base. Recipient of the Museum of Modern Art Award, 1969, Federal Award for Industrial Design Award, 1969 and Design Center Stuttgart Award, 1962.
The Tulip Chair is Greenguard certified.
Eco Friendly
Material(s): Rilsan coated cast aluminum, molded fiberglass, foam and fabric (content dependent on textile/leather selection)
Dimensions: 20" W x 21.25" D x 32" H x 18.5" SH x 20" AH
Download Specifications: 1
Designer: Eero Saarinen
The son of architect and Cranbrook Academy of Art director Eliel Saarinen and his wife, textile artist Loja, Eero Saarinen studied sculpture in Paris and architecture at Yale before working on furniture design with Norman Bel Geddes and practicing architecture with his father. He collaborated on several projects in furniture design with his friend, Cranbrook alumnus Charles Eames, and opened his own practice in Bloomfield Hills in 1950. Among the many buildings for which he is known are the Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC, The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, and the TWA Terminal at Kennedy International Airport in New York. He was the recipient of numerous awards and the subject of many exhibitions.

Brand Beginnings Knoll was founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll who sought to create new types of furniture and environments for the home and workplace. Their approach was to join craftsmanship with technology through the use of design and to create beautiful home furnishings that stood the test of time visually, functionally and practically. The pair sought out designers willing to change the landscape of modern design, daring to ask how furniture could work better. These landmark collaborations, with pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Richard Schultz built a brand that today contains many of the hallmarks of modern design.
Knoll Today Knoll enjoys brand recognition throughout the world for its modern classics as well as groundbreaking new products formulated under new deigner partnerships. Few companies can match the array of Knoll products, which combine a modernist aesthetic with residential appeal. This point of view nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of Knoll design. Today, it connects to a new generation seeking workplaces and homes that are comfortable for and beautiful for everyday living.
A Signature Piece The highly coveted Barcelona® Chair is, with little doubt, the signature Knoll piece. Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it is one of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement. Skilled craftsman construct this exquisite chair by hand every day. From leather produced from a single cowhide, 40 individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted, and hand-tufted with leather buttons to upholster the chair. Premium cushions are highly resilient with a down-like softness that surrounds the sitter in luxurious comfort. Cushions are suspended by upholstery straps in cowhide belting leather over a metal frame that is hand-ground and hand-buffed to a mirror finish. Meticulously detailed, Barcelona continues to appeal to customers worldwide some 85 years after its introduction.
Why Knoll? The Knoll names offers a rich design history – a legacy of iconic designers and inventive new collaborations. Their focus on quality and responsible manufacturing means that each piece transcends multiple generations in both use and appeal. Knoll offers furniture, accessories, textiles, felts and leathers that stimulate the senses and allow you to express who you are and what you value. They take great pride in creating the best possible product and the happiest possible customer.

Technote (FAQ)
How does VERDELETED work with Data Protection Exchange 'incremental' backups ?
Data Protection Exchange incremental backups (which back up the Exchange logs), creates uniquely named objects when stored in the Tivoli Storage Manager server. This means that there is only ever 1 version of the Log backup object. Thus, there can be a negative effect if the VERDELETED parameter of the management class to which they are bound is set to 0 (zero).
Data Protection for Exchange inactivates the 'Incremental" backups during the backup processing of the next FULL backup. The inactivation of the incremental looks to the Tivoli Storage Manager server as if the object was deleted from the client machine (there is no ACTIVE version of the object). Thus, if verdeleted is set to a value of 0, the incrementals that depend on the INACTIVATED FULL backup will be deleted immediately on the next Tivoli Storage Manager Server expiration. Note that the FULL backups are not uniquely named and would have normal version processing.
It is recommended to set verdeleted to a value of at least 1 to avoid this side-effect and use the RETONLY setting to control the length of time to manage these unique inactivated incremental objects. The RETONLY setting for the Incremental log objects should be set to the same value as the RETEXTRA that is set for the FULL backups.
- If the RETONLY setting for the Incremental is less than the FULL (RETEXTRA), this could allow the logs to be prematurely expired from the Tivoli Storage Manager server. This would then result in a restore such that the FULL cannot be rolled forward to a point in time after the FULL was taken.
- If the RETONLY is longer than the FULL (RETEXTRA), the incremental backups will be retained on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, even though they cannot be restored, because the FULL they rely on is already expired.

Now, with globalization well underway, it is imperative that we begin to think more systematically about how we will build and develop the concept of a free press for a new global public forum.
This is part of a larger historical process. Authority and structures related to authority have to shift as human activity changes. This happened throughout the last century in many areas of the society. When the US economy went from a collection of mostly local and regional affairs to a national system, policymaking and regulation had to shift accordingly. One example is our central banking system. Established in 1913, the Federal Reserve System was organized to provide twelve regional banks with the authority to deal with what was then a set of regional economies. But in the ensuing decades, as the economy became national in scope, a more centralized banking authority was needed, and the powers of the Federal Reserve Board in Washington grew accordingly.
We can see the same process unfolding over the twentieth century with respect to the First Amendment and the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and the press. As the issues faced by the nation became more and more national in reach, in part because of the growth of a national economy, and as the technologies of communication facilitated a national discussion, the power of local communities to set the balance between a free press and other societal interests (like reputation, privacy, offensiveness, and so on) became intolerable. Censorship anywhere effectively constituted censorship everywhere, since speakers in the new national forum would naturally be inhibited by local censorship. This was one of the great insights of the Supreme Court in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, which nationalized the rules with respect to defamation laws throughout the country.
As we move toward more global systems, a similar evolution needs to occur. We have the technological capacity for an effective global discussion led by a vibrant press, but two critical elements are missing: First, we do not have sufficient international consensus about the vital role of a free, independent, and professional global press. And, second, here in the US we do not really have the capacity for high-quality, professional journalism on a global scale.
On the first point: many nations, of course, actively fear an independent press and see journalism more as an instrument of governmental policy than as a source of objective information and analysis. In these countries there is debilitating censorship and restrictions on the media's access to information. But the problems this creates for the free flow of information and ideas are no longer limited to speech in those nations. What happens in a system of global communication is the same thing that happens with local censorship in a national system—censorship anywhere chills speakers everywhere. A lot of what we will need to know about the world in the coming years will come through the efforts of "local" journalists. When "local" journalism is suppressed, therefore, our ability to hear and know is curtailed. In other words, censorship in, say, China, can be as significant, or even more significant to us than censorship in, say, California.
As we work to surmount this challenge, we need to remind ourselves that our own American route to a vibrant free press was not a straight line; our approach was neither consistent nor wholly admirable. We too sent people to jail merely for giving speeches or publishing commentary that the government claimed would undermine public order. We too tried to enjoin the press from publishing official secrets. We too denied the press access to newsworthy events and information.
What we ended up discarding is currently accepted in some parts of the world. China, in particular, appears to be struggling with a commitment to a more or less open economic system and a relatively closed communications system. Two contrasting interpretations of contemporary China have been emerging. One view surmises that the sophisticated leadership of China understands and accepts that the changes in Chinese citizens produced by the adoption of capitalism will inevitably result in greater demands for intellectual openness. It's just a matter of time, according to this view. But another view from serious China observers is that the leadership believes quite the opposite—that they can have both sustained economic growth and a closely controlled society. They see these societal characteristics not as inconsistent or in tension but as complementary. Many are watching to see how this great debate between two competing visions of contemporary China will be resolved and which will ultimately prevail.

MENU DESCRIPTION: "Topped with vanilla ice cream under a white
chocolate shell."
After the success of the Molten Chocolate Cake, Chili's chefs
went back into the development kitchen and emerged with this incredible
white chocolate variation that has become the new go-to
meal ender. Just as with my clone for the Molten Chocolate Cake
in Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2, I found that an instant cake mix
is the perfect solution to quickly and easily knockoff this seriously
awesome dessert. It just so happens that Duncan Hines Moist
Deluxe Butter Recipe Golden Cake Mix produces a butter cake
that matches perfectly to the moist, buttery cake used in the Chili's
original. For the molten white chocolate inside the cake, we mix
melted white chocolate chips with a little cream and then spoon
the mixture into a hole cut into each cake. Pop the fi lled cakes into
your refrigerator, and when you're ready to serve the dessert, nuke
each one in the microwave to heat up the molten fi lling, add ice
cream and a little white chocolate on top, and serve. This is a great
make-ahead dish, since the loaded cakes can be stored in your
refrigerator for a couple days (even longer in your freezer), and
when you're ready to plate the dessert, each serving takes only
a minute or two to set up.
one 18.25-ounce box Duncan
Hines Moist Deluxe Butter
Recipe Golden Cake Mix
2⁄3 cup water
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
3 eggs
18 ounces (3 cups) white
chocolate chips
¼ cup plus 2 teaspoons heavy
one 16-ounce box frozen
strawberries in syrup (sugar
added), thawed
8 scoops vanilla ice cream
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Make the cake batter following directions on the box and
pour ½ cup of batter into the greased cups of a large (Texassize)
muffi n pan. If your pan has six cups, bake the cakes in
two batches of 4 cakes each. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the
preheated oven, or until a toothpick stuck into the center of
one cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 15 minutes,
then turn all of the cakes out of the pan.
3. While the cakes cool, measure 9 ounces or 1½ cups of white
chocolate chips into a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl.
Add the heavy cream and microwave on high temperature
for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave for 30 seconds more. Let
this cool for 15 to 20 minutes to thicken.
4. The cakes will be served upside down, so you may have to
slice a bit of the domed top off each cake to help it lay fl at
when inverted. A serrated knife works best for this. After
you've fl ipped over all of the cooled cakes, use a sharp paring
knife to cut out a 1½-inch diameter cylindrical chunk in the
center of the bottom (now the top) of each cake. The hole
should be about 1½ inches deep. After cutting straight down
into the cake in a circle, scoop out the chunk of cake with a
teaspoon and discard (or eat) the piece. This is where you
will hide the white chocolate filling.
5. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of white chocolate fi lling into each
of the holes you've made in the cakes, then store the cakes
in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Product 1/8
The Block Watcher is a new concept in block detection.
This detector puts the power of a microprocessor to work analyzing the current feed to the rails. This detector has been designed to eliminate many of the installation problems associated with the installation of signal systems. The Block Watcher comes ready to install, all you have to do is to connect it between the DCC booster or circuit breaker and the rails. Then connect the detector output switch to your signal system.
The Block Watcher has many uses and applications.
It can not only be used as the basis of signaling systems, but can also be used to indicate occupied blocks or triggers for Stop-On-DCC decoders. The Block Watcher is powered from the DCC input power and eliminates the need for an added external power supply. The output is optically isolated so the signaling system can be separate from the DCC signal and thus minimize the interference with operation of the signal circuits. The detector will handle up to 20 Amps of DCC current. An automatic adjustment for leakage current up to 130 mA is provided. Detection output terminals are available for a switched output and remote LED block detect indication. The bi-polar output can be used with any signaling system using less than 30 Volts and will switch up to 1 A of current.
MSRP is $31.95.
This product was added to our catalog on Thursday 26 February, 2009.

Knowledge, newbies, and why kindness pays off {WoW}
Dec 30th 2010 6:46AM I remember my first dungeon run ever. I 'stood in the fire', died and without thinking, went to graveyard and rezzed, with sickness. I offered to leave since it appeared I was hopeless and I was honestly very embarassed, but I found everyone was nice, they said they'd wait the 10 min out. Some were annoyed but they were not rude, they showed me the best place to stand and even talked me through what attacks were best to use.
I've found that level of helpfullness declines as you go up in level (at least in PUGs, in my guild they're helpful regardless of level), and players get better and expect everyone else to be at their level of knowledge, but luckily I have a good guild that answers my questions if someone in a PUG is angry at me for not knowing something.
Breakfast Topic: Will you be buying either of the new vanity pets? {WoW}
Nov 30th 2010 10:49AM I bought the sparkle pony. Its fun, pretty, but not something that I should have included in the spending spree I did that night. It helps slightly with my mount count but I do sorta regret HOW MUCH I spent on it.
I'll still use it tho. I the last thing I want to do is feel I spent a lot of money on something that I now will not even use. Sparkle Pony will still pop out.
That said, I have learned my lesson. If I'm not happy buying a mount, I know I will feel I wasted money on a vanity pet.
Nothing against people who do of course, I just think its not something I would spend money on again, but I am glad I at least 'tried' it on something useful like a mount. People who do buy all this are supporting Blizzard which is fine, I'm not going to make fun of them, esp since I've been made fun of for purchasing something myself.
I shall enjoy sparkle pony but no, I won't be buying any vanity pets, and very likely won't buy another mount if it comes out.

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: War of the critters {WoW}
Oct 26th 2010 12:46PM Oh dear lord I just showed this to a friend revising for our Religious Philosophy class and we had a long conversation/debate about if the statement "The critters have guns and are shooting other critters" is meaningful and scientific according to verificationism and falsification.
And people say studying isn't fun.
BlizzCon 2010: Update on man injured during dance contest {WoW}
Oct 25th 2010 6:08PM Probably wasn't as awful as some might expect, hence the comment. I had my leg broken as part of a procedure to fix the way my foot face and I was in a cast for a good 8 months, I couldn't walk without aid for a year. I guess it depends on where the breakage is, but I won't deny a ligament injury is awful, my cousin snapped a ligament in his hand, was NOT fun. I assume the general idea in people is that broken bones are worse than ligaments, even if its not true.
glad to hear he is taking it in good spirits. I don't understand people who feel the need to call him nasty names over this, its not like it was deliberate, and how hard is it to just think 'hope he gets better soon'?

Oct 24th 2010 8:54AM One of the few who liked Sindra's roar,
and I absolutely love Deathwing's. Its not as loud and is quite fitting.
I can understand people throwing fits because they hated the roar so much but I personally am rather happy :3

The end bullet slides out and then back in to enable fastening. Measures about 1m (3ft 3'') long and easily adjustable by removing one or several cartridges in the ammo belt.
A unique piece of Genuine Military Equipment for the militaria collector as well as the fancy dress party.
A belt is a device that holds cartridges adjacent to each other in a single row for feeding into a firearm,
typically a machine gun. The belt itself only serves to link the cartridges together so that
they may be fired in a uniform manner; it does not perform the feeding of the firearm.
In general, the belt is either permanently linked, fed through the weapon,
and subsequently pushed out the other side of the chamber, or the links
themselves 'disintegrate', or break apart after firing, as the cartridges are
integral to the design of the belt. The latter is called a 'disintegrating
belt'. The main advantage of the non-disintegrating belt is that it is
refillable. The advantages of the disintegrating belt are that it is lighter and
the expended links do not dangle from the other side of the gun. Permanently
linked belts are often made of cloth while disintegrating links are generally metal.
Belts are useful in that long sequences of ammunition can be run through a
weapon with little to no interaction from the individual firing it. As machine
guns in the 20th century evolved with higher rates of fire, the traditional
sprung magazine was found to be insufficient for two reasons: first, a magazine
of reasonable size (typically 70 rounds or fewer) would require too-frequent
changing during sustained fire. Secondly, the spring used to feed cartridges
often cannot deliver them quickly enough to match the weapon's firing rate and
this would result in jams.
Belts are often stored in a transportation box, which can be attached under the firearm. This allows mobile infantry troops equipped with light and
medium machine guns to carry a large amount of ammunition with ease of transportation that would not be allowed by a loose belt.
