Post by Consumers Union.
- Real People, Real Stories
Cornelis from Seven Valleys, PA, believes a good warranty "should include not just a time limit, but also provide for damages in case of failure, as well as free surgeries to correct the problems, or provide for a new implant of your and your surgeon's choice." He learned firsthand that hip implants can fail.
Cornelis received his first hip implant in 1997, however, in 2005 a revision was performed and a metal-on-metal implant was used. A year later, x-rays revealed that the ring where the ball fits into the hip socket had broken and was sticking into his muscle. In this spot doctors found a mysterious growth about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. At first, doctors thought this growth was a tumor; but after doing some tests they said it was an inert growth likely due to encapsulation of metal shavings from the metal-on-metal hip implant. Continue reading Cornelis' story.

List of Final Fantasy IX Spells
this wiki
There are four types of magic in Final Fantasy IX; White Magic and Summon magic, both used by both Dagger and Eiko; Black Magic, used by Vivi; and Blue Magic used by Quina.
All magic commands are sealed in Oeilvert, this includes; White Magic, Black Magic, Summon, Sword Magic, and Blue Magic.
[show]Black MagicEdit
- Main article: Blk Mag (Final Fantasy IX)
Blk Mag is Vivi's skillset. If Steiner is also in the party, Vivi's Black Magic can be used as part of his Sword Magic. In Trance Vivi's Blk Mag turns into Dbl Blk that allows Vivi to cast two spells per turn.
Black Magic spells include offensive elemental and non-elemental spells, and spells that inflict status ailments. If damaging used against multiple enemies, it will deal half the damage (if damaging spell) or infliction rate (if status spell) to each enemy, regardless of the number of enemies.
White MagicEdit
- Main article: Wht Mag (Final Fantasy IX)
Wht Magic is a skillset for Dagger, Eiko and Beatrix. The spells focus on healing and support with a single damaging spell, Holy, and some offensive status inflicting spells. Of the two permanent party members, Eiko is more geared toward White Magic than Dagger, who is more focused on summon magic.
Blue MagicEdit
- Main article: Blu Mag (Final Fantasy IX)
All Blue Magic spells are learned by eating enemies, this is the only way for Quina to learns new spells.
Summon MagicEdit
- Main article: Summon (Final Fantasy IX)
Summon for Dagger and Eiko calls forth an eidolon for the cost of MP. The eidolons can be either supportive or offensive. The summons are learned from add-ons, mainly jewels, and their power depends on animation length, number of jewels in stock, and in Eiko's case, which add-on she has equipped.

A Really nice coverage of all possible features . What is the approximate pricing of these ram modules as compared to the Kingston modules.
While giving 2.90V to the rams, which is certainly above the JEDEC limit, it is recommended that we either have some active cooling or ram sinks. What measures were maintained, in order to secure such an overclock. And were the modules able to sustain the voltage for a longer period of time. Because if they can, then these rams can certainly be killer rams in terms of their overclocking potential and may just set a new stantard for value rams.

A new federal law prohibits airlines in the U.S. from holding passengers inside a plane on a tarmac for more than three hours. The law requires carriers to provide food and water for passengers within two hours of the aircraft being delayed on the tarmac and to maintain operable restrooms.
The new law was passed as a response to a series of incidents in which passengers were stranded on the ground inside airplanes for long periods of time.
Local plane passenger,Brandon Corby says, "I'd rather be in the airport than on a plane. I'm a bigger person so, I mean it stinks being on a plane for a while."
The new law is only valid for domestic flights. It goes into effect in about three months.

San Andreas was the third and final Grand Theft Auto game of the PS2 era, and it was the biggest and grandest in the series yet when it originally launched in 2004. The iOS version delivers the entire game to mobile devices, a feat that many would have once thought impossible, given the game's scope.
GTA: San Andreas is compatible with all versions of the iPad since the iPad 2 and every iPad mini so far released, not to mention the 5th-gen iPod Touch and the iPhone 4S and up. But given the size of the game it's almost certainly best experienced on tablets. It's hard to imagine all those gang wars, drive-bys and fly-overs on a tiny screen the size of a phone, isn't it?
San Andreas on iOS features enhanced graphics, cloud saves, an updated checkpoint system, customizable controls, and more new features. It will also arrive "soon" on select Android, Amazon Kindle, and Windows Phone devices, according to Rockstar.

Hello All, I have been looking for a new lawn mower and came down to the Honda HRX vs the Toro Super Recycler. Was leaning towards the Honda HRX and went to a local small engine store to look at their inventory. The salesman told me the Honda mower came underclocked from the factory and they have to hook it up to a tachometer and adjust the engine in order for it to run at optimal RPM's for mulching, cutting, etc. They sell the HRX with blade brake for $729.99, no discounts or sales. I can get the same model at home depot for $699.99 and also get a 10% military discount there, so about $100 difference between the small local store and big box home depot. My question is does this make sense or is the salesman just blowing smoke? Is it worth $100 price difference to get the engine tuned up right out of the box? Thanks for any info you can provide. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Every lawnmower is going to be slightly "underclocked." 29 CFR 1910.243(e)(2)(d)(ix) sets the maximum mower tip blade speed at 19,000 ft per minute. For a 21 inch blade, that works out to be just slightly over 3450 RPM. Every manufacturer is going to set the engine speed somewhere below that (around 3200-3400 RPM). No manufacturer is going to take a chance on violating the code and risk liability. On the other hand, a manufacturer isn't going to set the RPM so low that their machine is not going to perform well--just not good for marketing. My guess is that as part of "prep and set up" (which any dealer is supposed to do), they may check the RPM for factory spec and adjust to factory/manufacturer spec. if needed (doubt that they come across many/any out of spec as RPM would likely be part of standard factory quality control). If you find the mower not working as intended, most every dealer will adjust the RPM to factory spec if it is out of spec., if needed, as part of service under the warranty Sounds like a bit of sales puffery to me. Keep in mind, most, not all, dealers try to distinguish themselves from the big box stores by personally standing behind what they sell and giving better and more timely warranty service than you can get from the big boxes. (When I bought my HRX from the big box and returned it due to a fuel leak, they just had me grab another off the shelf--not much of a hassel.) In other words, you spending that extra $100 based on the reputation of the dealer to provide superior service--so check his reputation and decide if it's worth the extra money for your peace of mind. |
"In other words, you spending that extra $100 based on the reputation of the dealer to provide superior service--so check his reputation and decide if it's worth the extra money for your peace of mind." Good advise. I can tell you that many mowers that I work on- I am the first person that ever puts a tach on them and adjusts the engine speed. That is one sold through agent orange or the local dealer. Commonly a 21" is set at 3150 which allows for ~ 10% governor speed allowance. I get the feeling that these GCV engines really don't want to run at a much higher RPM anyways. |
The HRX I bought from HD runs at 3060 RPM. Factory manual says maximum governed RPM is 2950-3100. I used a Tiny Tach to measure the RPM. |
There are many that are 2650/ 2850 - it is amazing that they leave a servicing dealer at that speed. GXV's don't like much over 3100- you are correct. I don't adjust them above 3150 no matter what they are on. |

I didn't take any pictures today. However, I did water a little. Want to guess what I was doing all morning in the heat!! Not transplanting daylilies but.......picking wild blackberries. we (I) got about a gallon and will pick more in the middle of next week. There should be a lot ripe by then. Most are just starting to rippen. I haven't picked them in a couple of years because the chiggers get me bad. I am out of BBerry Jam though and had to do it. My DH is useless when doing anything like this. Ellie |

Computer languages for beginners
Name: Christine Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1995
I am interested in computer programming and I would like to know where to start. I have heard about BASIC and COBOL and C and C++, but what are they? I would also like to know what other computer languages are "out there", and how to use them.
BASIC is a good place to start. Besides the ones you mentioned, are FORTRAN and PASCAL. Once you master BASIC, try C, it is the most common, but rather difficult.
Update - May 2010
If you are looking for a programming language to learn, remember that most of the concepts in the modern day languages are in all of the major languages. I would try to learn the concepts first in one language that you are familiar with, and then learn new languages. Languages sometimes go out of style after a while, but if you learn the logic and the concepts you should be able to pick up the new one.
To start, I would recommend Java, C#, or VB.NET as those seem to be big right now, but it all depends on what you want to do. VB.NET is most likely the easiest. For example, if you are looking into making websites, you will want to know HTML. If you want to do fancy website things, you might want to know about JavaScript, ASP.NET, or PHP. It all depends.

Part of PACER Center's commitment to children with disabilities includes ensuring that the state and federal laws protecting the rights of people with disabilities remain strong. PACER works in coalition with other disability organizations to support special education laws and other related legislation.
PACER Legislative Priorities
The federal special education law is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA). PACER publishes materials and provides workshops on IDEA to inform parents and professionals of their rights and responsibilities under the law.
PACER Day at the Capitol: "Be A Champion"
Thursday, March 13, 2014, 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Veterans Services Building
5th Floor Conference Room, 20 12th St. W.
St. Paul, MN 55155 (St. Paul - see Map)
Parents of children with disabilities will have their voices heard in St. Paul, Minn., on 'PACER Day at the Capitol' Thursday, March 13. Participants will attend a dynamic workshop led by advocacy and education leaders and legislators to hear about potential legislation affecting special education, education funding, school discipline, mental health, and bullying prevention.
Parents will learn how to effectively share their stories, and enjoy a pizza lunch before meeting with their state legislators.
Working for Change Using the Power of Personal Story
When parents try to improve services for all children with disabilities, not just their own child,—this is called advocating for systems change. This webinar will explain how parents of children with disabilities can help change systems by telling their own personal stories. By sharing a personal story with the right people, parents can help improve services and supports for children with disabilities and their families.

Please contact your state senator and urge him or her to vote for the Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act.
At 37 words, Minnesota currently has the shortest bullying prevention law in the country. We need a strong, comprehensive law that will protect ALL children from being bullied.
The Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act will strengthen our law by requiring training and education for school personnel and students on strategies for addressing and preventing bullying and for reporting incidents of bullying. The law clearly defines bullying, requires schools to collect data on bullying and report that data to the Minnesota Department of Education, and provides state assistance to schools to implement the law. When appropriate, it also establishes a procedure for addressing bullying in students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 Plan.
Last year the Minnesota House of Representatives passed the Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act, but the bill stalled on the Senate floor. The Minnesota Legislature reconvenes on February 25, so NOW is the time to contact your state senator and urge him or her to vote for the Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act. We know there are other groups opposing the bill, so it is critical that legislators hear from people supporting this important legislation.

I would like an opinion on which to do. I am painting my dining room Benjamin Moore's Interlude color (like a brownish neutral). We have small entryway into the dining room (which is where our front door is) and it has an arch. My question is should I paint the whole entryway including the arch the accent color Frappe or just the actual arch? Which would look better? My husband and I have a difference of opinion. Thanks! |

Can you post a picture? Really hard to envision, and a photo would help a lot. |
If the arch has wall and ceiling surfaces, just paint the arch the accent color. If by "arch" you mean just a piece of flat wall visible from only one side, I'd paint the whole entryway and the arch the same accent color. You don't want stripes or little bits of accent color. There needs to be a minimum amount. |
Here is a picture of the arch itself. This is the entryway with the arch if you came in the front door. |

Scattered Shots: Improving the hunter BM talent tree {WoW}
Jun 9th 2011 8:33PM Just to add my 2 cents. I've been BM since I started playing in BC. I stuck with it throughout Wrath, even though my dps was noticeably lower than my MM, and SV brethren. In general I'm happy with the state of BM damage now in Cata. My BM hunter can easily (though not always) do more damage than the mages and locks. Which is kinda shocking since my main is a lock.
As for the talent trees, I am 100% all for making KC the BM only signature shot rather than Intimidation at lvl 10. Don't get me wrong, even though I don't PVP as much on my huntard as I do my lock, I find Intimidation to be VERY useful in PVE. Especially when the healer or myself has grabbed agro. My pet's dash ability is likely off cd by then and my pet has no problem reaching the mob before it gets to the healer,or me and hitting Intimidation. I think it should be in the BM talent tree, just not as our "given" for choosing BM. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the "Stampede" Idea. Seriously, Stampede please!!!!!!

May 5th 2011 1:52AM Yes! I love all this new Troll lore, and questing we are being given right now. I have 3 troll toons (85 huntard, 85 shammy, 50 druid). And yes hopefully the Horde will kick Garrosh out and put Vol'Jin in as leader. FOR THE DARKSPEAR TRIBE!!! FOR THE HORDE!!!
The Lawbringer: Fighting the gold fight -- how the strategy must change {WoW}
Mar 18th 2011 2:20PM Even better all epic flying mount drops should grant epic flying skill. I still have my Bronze dragon from CoT Stratholme in my bank and can't use it. And I really feel like professions are more like real work, and take away from my questing, and dungeon crawling time. If I keep up my crafting and gathering profs it's easy to lvl them as I lvl, but once I get behind its hard to lvl. As an example I have a lvl 84 toon with LW thats at BC lvls. I dread having to go back to Outlands, and Northrend to max.

The purpose of this site is to offer a fast, quality service that makes it as easy as possible for you to identify the spare parts that you require, order easily, pay securely, and receive the goods quickly. We stock a large range of washing machine spares etc. from all leading manufacturers such as: Ariston, Bosch, Indesit, Hotpoint, Hoover, Zanussi, etc., so we are able to have your spares delivered to you within 2 working days for all stocked items. Other items that need ordering in, we can usually deliver in 3 to 5 working days. We will be up front with you if we cannot deliver quickly for whatever reason, and give you the opportunity to cancel your order if you so wish.
The domestic appliance spares we supply are the same spares we use to repair machines ourselves, which ensures that the parts are of high quality. Many domestic appliance spares we supply are the manufacturers' own genuine parts, and we also supply spares from other leading suppliers.
The menu-driven system we use means that you should be able to find the spare part you're looking for quickly and easily; but if you're looking for a rare part for a non-mainstream appliance manufacturer, we also have a search facility that can help. Not only will it look for matches to your search terms, it will also look for alternative names to the part you're searching for and also for alternative manufacturers' names as many domestic appliances these days are 'badge engineered' whereby identical machines are sold under many different brand names.
Although we are competitive on price, quality is the main factor of concern when deciding which spares we sell and on the way in which trade generally (both spares and repairs). Our trading policy has always been to provide a 'value for money' service rather than attempting (or appearing) to be the cheapest. Cutting prices usually means cutting corners! We do not sell inferior quality spares to compete on price.

Our family's Thanksgiving at Cynthia's home was a great experience! Her space was clean, inviting and more spacious than it looked in the pictures. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us (5 adults + 3 kids) to hang out together in the common area, and we really enjoyed using the high-end kitchen. Cynthia was very responsive and available as a host as well. We would definitely come back!

Our Favorite Things To Do Nearby
The Beach!!! Carlsbad State Beach was rated one of the top 10 beaches in the US by Traveler Magazine and is located only a few minute drive away. So much to do at the beach: Dig your toes in the sand, get a tan, go for a swim, surf, boogie board, play volleyball, explore the tide pools teeming with life, make sandcastles with the kids, join the joggers and bikers along the seawall, enjoy a bonfire with friends and family, or just sit on a bench and people watch! Just remember to bring your sunscreen!
Visit the luxurious Day Spa at La Costa Resort - We love to spend time at the Day Spa. Men and women have their own facilities each with their own indoor Sauna, Steamroom, and Jacuzzis. Outside you can meet up with your spouse by the pool, roman waterfalls, and outdoor jacuzzi. We love to wrap up our spa days with a good massage and then eat at one of the chic restaurants in the resort. The resort is gorgeous and perfect for a romantic date or a girl's day. Google it.
Shopping: The house is about 5 minutes away from a huge outdoor shopping mall called the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. This mall has both affordable and high end stores like: Coach, Dooney and Burke, Juicy Couture, Lacoste, Barneys New York, Ralph Lauren, BCBG Max Azria, Banana Republic, DKNY, Gap, BabyGap, Carters, and Crate and Barrel.
My favorite place to shop, however, is 'The Forum' about 10 minutes South off Leucadia BLVD. They have a Z Gallerie, Sur La Table, Bed Bath and Beyond, Anthropologie, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Black House White Market, Mac Cosmetics, Ulta, and an Apple Store. Also nearby is a Target and plenty of amazing restaurants!
World Class Golfing at: Aviara's Four Seasons (Carlsbad), La Costa Resort (Carlsbad), The Crossings at Carlsbad, Encinitas Ranch (Encinitas), and world famous Torrey Pines (La Jolla).

However if you're just looking for something convenient, restaurants under 5 minutes away include: Islands, King's Fish House, BJ's Brewery, Karl Strauss, Claim Jumper, TGIF's, PF Changs, and Bellefleur (amazing Sunday Brunch!!). There are also several fast places nearby like Starbucks, Rubio's, and California's Exclusive In-n-Out Burger (if you haven't tried an In-n-Out Burger then you really haven't lived).
For Kids: Legoland, Legoland Water Park, Sealife Aquarium, Playwerx (an indoor jungle gym in Carlsbad), San Diego Botanic Garden in neighboring Encinitas (cheap admission but tons for little kids/toddlers to do), Wild Wonders (kids and adults can 'tame' their curiosity for 'wildlife'.

Hello everyone, New cherry bordeaux cabinets were just installed throughout a new house that is being built. On the outer surface of a few of the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom, there are pits or indentations, some more visible than others. I have yellow circles around the areas in question. They do need to cleaned but that will be done later on. The areas in question are not due to them not being cleaned. These are the easily visible areas. I will inspect the rest more closely to locate additional areas. Does anyone know what they are? What I should do/how to proceed from here?? I have attached some pictures to show them. Thanks! |

The first ones look like tool marks. The second, a flaw in the wood, unless a drill was dropped straight on it. The bath looks like flawed wood. None of this can be sanded out and refinished. I'd have them replace the bath cabinet and whatever the flawed kitchen portion is. Your photo shows a slight raised wood finish mixed with very smooth. Is this a chosen look? What is the base wood being used? Also, unless it is the light, the edges of the bath door inserts/overlay look like the finish is worn off. Plus I'm seeing an odd corner on the upper left of the insert/overlay panel. I'd check every one of your installs and photo them. Get the cabinet guy over to go through this with you. You can definitely see the doors were sprayed. I don't know how this is done to eliminate the factor, not all of the wood shows this. |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Sun, Jul 21, 13 at 10:02
Your cabinets are made from wood. Wood has mineral streaks, pin holes, knot holes, and other natural features. That is NORMAL. You would have to be in a super high end grade of cabinet (as in 100K worth of cabinets here) to be able to specify to grade that out from cherry. Cherry WILL have all of those things in a finished cabinet. It's even a desirable feature to some, and is sold as an upgrade to have all of the wood to be graded for those natural wood characteristics. You are not due any replacements unless your contract specifies 100% clear top grade cherry. If it did, your pocketbook would know it. |

Same thing in my cherry cabinets. At first I was upset, but soon realized it is a characteristic of the species. |
The grain part could or couldn't be acceptable. It's hard to tell from the pictures how bad it is. I've seen some grain texture with the refined cherry cabinets but it didn't look bad. If it's the only cabinet with that on it, it could look bad. The finish looks a bit odd there too. The other indents look like dings possibly from installation. The round circle could be some sort of wood defect but it doesn't look particularly natural, so should not have been used imo, even if it is. The cabinets are not trying to look rustic, they are smoothly polished. They are supposed to grade the boards, to keep things looking nice overall. Was there a sample display that showed these imperfections (excluding the ding marks!) I agree that the stain and finish does look questionable but again it's hard to tell from the photos and glare. Were these particularly inexpensive cabinets? |

The square-shaped ones are dents/damage; the rest are sap pockets and a pin knot. Casey |
Hello Everyone, Thank you very much for replying. I am sorry about the poor quality of the pictures. They were taken with a phone cam since that is all I had on me at the time. I am going to go back for a closer inspection of all the cabinets with my regular camera. It was an impromptu visit and these kinda caught my attention. The cabinets overall do look better in person than they did when I viewed the same pictures. The pictures do not do them any justice. I am very happy with them overall but these are some questionable areas that I brought up with the builder and they are going to look into it with the Cabinet person. I will try to address some of the questions that were asked from everyone to the best of my abilities: Small sap pockets, pin knots, and streaks I did inform the builder so I'll keep you posted on what they say and I'll inspect the rest closer and take better pictures. Thanks! |
It is wood, and try to remember it was once a tree! Embrace the fact that it is now in your kitchen. If you wanted formica, melamine, plastic, then that's a different story...but I think they look great! More of those subtle characteristics would be considered "distressed" and demand a premium price, be thankful... |
I think they are all natural parts of the wood except for the two that look like dents at the bottom of the cabinet door. I would want that one replaced. They look gorgeous otherwise. |
Thank you very much for your help. Overall I am very happy with the cabinets. They really are beautiful and the pictures I took really don't show how nice they are. I just had some questions regarding some of the items detailed in the pictures. If they're natural to the wood, I am fine with it. But most would agree that there is some damage so that will need to be addressed and I would not have known that had I not come here. I came here for help because I know that you know better than I and its very evident in your responses. The cabinet installer must have known or seen the damage and yet he still installed them. I am a layman and I noticed them so him still installing them was most likely intentional. I'll let the builder get back with me with their findings while I inspect the cabinets better to see if there are any other areas of damage. Thanks once again! |
We have built several houses and it's sad but way too many times the trades will do bad jobs or install things when they shouldn't. They don't care, hope you don't notice and move on to the next job. |

The square-ish marks are not really damage the way I would define damage, such as, "oops we bumped into the wall while carrying it in." It's call "tear-out". Most likely it occurred when the planer hit some grain, it tears out some wood below the flat surface. Only you can decide if it is acceptable. For me, when I'm making furniture, I would get another piece of wood and redo it, or put the tear out side to the no-show side. Of course, I don't make my living thru wood working, so I can decide how much time I want to spend. I also see some grain and a knot. I think that is acceptable and somewhat preferable. It's wood. If you want a perfectly flat surface, get something that is NOT wood. |

I would list everything and speak to the GC and/or who ever supplied the cabinets. The doors on the first picture are unacceptable as is the top cover on the bath vanity. That's not natural variation, it's a poorly finished piece. All can be replaced without dismantling anything. The other is a pretty big knot hole - the entire cabinet might need to be replaced or it may not (too hard to tell if its part of the cabinet frame or some type of filler). |

Part 2 of the Lobbying Bill is a significant change and proposes regulating a broad swathe of those most active in public debate. It poses a major threat to freedom of speech and public debate, and must be considered in the most delicate manner. It has already achieved unprecedented cross-party, non-partisan agreement in opposition to its current drafting.
Part 2 of the Bill should be withdrawn and a process undertaken to produce clear, viable legislation that does not pose a major risk to freedom of speech and legitimate public debate. While safeguards for charities are welcome, wide range of organisations that make important contributions to public debate are not charities.
If it the Government has been unable to produce coherent legislation by the second reading, let alone beyond it, then it cannot be prudent for Parliament to attempt to re-draft an entire section of legislation during its passage through Parliament.

Speed is KING!
Speed without control is CHAOS…control without speed is ineffecient. Finding the balance between the two is critical to performance in sport and life and we will help you find it!
Speed lives at the top of the fitness skill pyramid. Speed is improved as the other critical skills improve. Balance, coordination, flexibility, mobility, endurance, strength, body composition, movement economy, mechanics, and mind set are all important factors in the development of speed.
Many athletes seek to get fast first. While there are certain changes that can be made in the short term, true long term speed development is a synergistic process with the proper and balanced development of the body as a unit. Athletes and coaches will often try to add things to get faster, when what they really need is to take their foot off the brake before trying to step on the gas. This would mean strengthening the core, addressing imbalances, creating more flexibility and mobility and refining running mechanics before adding more sprints or drills. Sprints and drills can be effective when they are built upon the proper skill sets. Otherwise, they simply anchor bad habits and begin to break down the body.
Speed without control is chaos…control without speed is ineffective.
Find the balance and perform to your potential!

An avalanche roars through Tokyo as Yoh, the prodigal shaman of Japan, fights Horohoro, the ice-wielding shaman of the Ainu! The winner will have a shot at the Shaman King and get to write the history books...but lose two battles in a row and you'll be disqualified from the competition! Then, Yoh's next match pits him against Faust VIII, descendant of the European sorcerer who made the original deal with the devil. But unlike his ancestor, this Faust didn't come to a bloody end...that fate is reserved for his opponents...
Author's Biography:
Unconventional author/artist Hiroyuki Takei began his career by winning the coveted Hop Step Award (a monthly award given by WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP for amateur artists) and the Osamu Tezuka Award (named after the famous artist of the same name). After working as an assistant to famed artist Nobuhiro Watsuki, Takei debuted in WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP in 1997 with BUTSU ZONE, an action series based on Buddhist mythology.

BP's presentation of the results of its internal inquiry into the Deepwater Horizon disaster is being delivered in Washington, in recognition of the fact that the most important audience it is addressing is in the US government and Congress.
The general message of the report is that mistakes were made by BP, but also by Transocean and Halliburton, the two key contractors on the project. Without failures by all of those companies, the accident would not have happened.
Mark Bly, BP's head of safety and operations, opens proceedings with an attempt to offset what is going to be a dry and forensic depiction of his team's assessment of the evidence.
"When we talk, we will sound clinical," he says, "but we feel very emotional" about the disaster, which killed 11 men and caused the world's largest accidental offshore oil spill.

Hi all: So our air handling unit is leaking. Last time it was a clogged drain, but this time the technician says it is a leaking drain pan. He further says that the coil and pan are one unit and so although the coil is fine, and only the pan needs replacing it is not possible to do it. Best to replace both, and since replacing both is about as expensive as getting a new system, get a new air handling system. Can someone please confirm that this is good advice? or do you think it is pretty feasible to just change the pan? Secondly, the tech also says that it should not be necessary to replace both teh compressor outside and the airhandler inside. (another shop i spoke with on the phone indicated that indeed given federal laws on 13cyr systems, we would have no choice but to do both at the same time). Does anyone have a comment on that too? It all feels really opaque and i'd appreciate any guidance you can provide. This is my first experience dealing with this issue.
Thanks Chitra |

There are air handlers available that work on your R22 and the new stuff. So you can replace just the air handler and then get a new outdoor unit later. |
Even if the pan is attached to the coil, it can be repaired or replaced if the contractor really wanted to. mismatching a system is a bad idea unless you're really broke, but it isn't illegal to do so - sounds like both of the guys you've spoken to are less than honest. keep looking. |

Im sorry, i am not clear on Zippyhvac;s comment. When you say mismatching a system you mean changing inside without changing the outside unit? Pls confirm i have understood this correctly. Another thing that had happened about 3 weeks ago was the the outside unit would not come on. When i turned on AC, the outside compressor would not come on. So the same guy came and replaced some parts in the outside unit. He did not think that anything needed to be checked inside. Is the problem outside in anyway connected with the issue inside do you think? ok i will try to find someone who is willing to change the pan. it does feel odd that one can't change a pan at all, and must change whole unit for that. Thanks so much all, and please let me know your thoughts on my reply. |
Making a drain pan isn't a big deal for someone who knows how to bend tin - any hvac guy worth his salt either bends his own, or should have access to a tin shop than can do it inexpensively. Alternatively, he could probably get your pan sealed with a tube of caulk and a piece of "panning steel" for under $10... if he wanted to. it isn't rocket science. As for mismatching a system by replacing just the indoor unit or the outdoor unit - lots of people do it and get away with it, but it's never an ideal solution - you'll never get peak efficiency from mismatched components, and you'll pay full price for the labor anyway, which is a significant portion of the cost. it's kinda like buying your shoes one at a time... they'll never match or fit right. You mentioned the outdoor unit wouldn't come on - I wouldn't read alot into that - there are a number of components that could cause something like that - contactors and capacitors come to mind - it wouldn't be related to your leak, and they're unlikely to be very expensive - look over your repair order to see what the contractor replaced. |

ok i will do that. Here's what i learnt today. The Air handler unit is the kind that has both a heating coil and a cooling coil in 2 different parts. So apparently teh coil and the pan are 1 unit. I was there while the technician checked. The model number is 940-1 or a 940-3. So the second guy (who had also said that the drain pan shoudl be capable of just being changed on the phone), acknowledged that it couldnt be done and it was better to get another unit. Then he called his supplier and came back with the comment that due to new codes established in 2010, new 410 units were the only ones being sold (am i saying it right)? and there was new Freon being used in them. As a result, if we didn't change both teh outside and inside unit at the same time then the stuff wouldn't work at all. Does any of this make sense to you all? and if so can you please advise if they are correct in their assessment? Here is the model number of the air handler (there were lots of different numbers!) 48MBXR-4HW. On the earlier compressor repair order, the technician had changed 1 dual capacitor, 1 magnetic contactor and added refrigerant (which will now all get wasted if we have to change the compressor too!)..Thx Chitra |
- Posted by chitra0828 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 31, 10 at 16:51
I jjust spoke with First Co of texas (which makes the air handlers we have installed), and here's what i learnt: a. The company does sell drain pans separately for the units called R22. So he is not sure why they cant change them. b. The warranty on the whole unit is only 1 year! Can you believe that? And our unit was installed in 1999, so that's just crazy right there. c. The technical support guy clarified that we should be able to just change the R22 unit internally without having to change the compressor outside. The internal unit will work with the existing exterior unit. If however let's say we are able to change the drain pan and be done with it. Then let's say at some point we have to change the compressor outside, then we HAVE to change both exterior and interior units. So that might make the cost come down a bit… Would you agree that all this makes sense? now we have to finda technician willing to change a drain pan! We live in Stamford, CT. Are there any technicians of integrity out here who would do so? Best Chitra |

The best thing that I've found in the past is to contact my specialist. Trying to work it out on your own often costs resources and time that you honestly don't have. I work pretty extensively with an air handling machine in our shop and generally don't try to mess with it (even though we're all engineers by trade). The last thing you want is an error with such an important piece of equipment. Here are the people that I generally go to for assistance: www.airhand.com They're knowledgable and will help out with your questions/concerns. |

It was too early for Wagner and Heilman was on fire until that one HR pitch. There was no reason to replace him. Don't blame Willie or the Met pitching. The hitters choked. And there should be a senate investigation on the easy curve ball that Beltran stared at to end the game. Eh, water under the proverbial bridge, they had their chances. Oooh that catch by Chavez was legendary. Too bad. :sick:

houdini1 Kansas City areaPosts: 6,097This had to be one of the best championship series ever. Although I am a Cardinals fan I think the Mets had the better team on paper. They will be back. The Chavez catch...unbelieveable. I was certain that the Mets would win if they could get Beltran to the plate in the nineth. Maybe that curve ball was better than it looked on TV.
Dewey, I know this forum can be habit forming but rather than leaving, just use some moderation, as most of us should be doing anyway. I have throughly enjoyed our little disagreements and hope for more of them in the future.2013 LX 570 2010 LS 460 2002 Tacoma 4x4
tagman Malibu, CaliforniaPosts: 8,441This had to be one of the best championship series ever.
I agree with that . . . right up until the very last pitch I was on the edge of my chair.
I have no doubt the better team won, IMHO. I can't stand those commentators who are saying "How could this have happened?", as though the Mets were a shoe-in or something. Ridiculous.
Hindsight is always 20/20 when discussing what they should have done better. Excuses, excuses. The Chavez catch that stole Rolen's HR was an all-time great play. Other than that . . . not good enough to win. Period.
BTW, I don't blame Dewey for taking a break. I also recommended some moderation, as you did. However, I will also be using moderation in the future when the discussion only goes in circles with posters like brightness. It's a waste to post and post and post and get nowhere with his completely rhetorical, insulting, and illogical posts . . . and the whole time have you cheering him on as he caused more and more frustration due to his inability or unwillingness to understand or acknowledge other viewpoints.
A shame, IMO, and I won't be a part of that any more, and you can quantitatively count on that!

Really? Is that how it seems to you? [non-permissible content removed] for tat? Goodness, I've had some heated in-depth discussions here, no doubt, but I don't believe I've talked in circles like brightness and steve have done . . . just hammering away at the same idea over and over and over without any consideration for a different point of view.
I've had sufficient feedback regarding my posting style to know that I do not do that to people. I respect others points of view, while I do not always agree, and I even tend to be more moderate at times than I otherwise might be, just to be considerate.
No, this was no [non-permissible content removed] for tat. And the result? . . . Dewey is possibly gone.
After being beat down here by sheer force of numbers for so long can you blame me for cheering him on a little?
A little? A lot is more like it, and no way have you been beaten down here. You started your own fires more than once, and got burned a little maybe, but more often than not, you received better treatment than you dished out. I remember your recent post just before all of this fiasco whereby you promised to stop the spiteful posts. Remember?
I hope all of this comes around to a better place. I like our friend from Canada and am sorry to see him suggest that he is leaving, even if just for a few months. I look forward to his return, and quite frankly, hope that he does reconsider and he starts posting on a more moderate basis.

Well . . . thanks . . . but, I'll take a share of the blame here (small share ). Hindsight is 20/20 as I mentioned about the Mets, and in hindsight I wish I had just completely stopped replying to brightness.
I was sincere when I said I wanted to tone it down a little, but no one else expressed any willingness to do so.
I thought it was just obvious enough by the nature of the posts, but perhaps you didn't see it that way.

You can voice your opinion over there on Edmunds findings: the grabby brakes, disappointing suspension, Edmunds unable to match the 0-60 and quarter-mile times Lexus has provided, which in both cases were reported as too fast by the company, the boring styling, etc; for starters. -
hpowders Posts: 4,269Well said!
With the ES and LS vehicles for sure, Lexus is indeed "the king of soft." But, if that's what some folks want, why shouldn't it be provided?
There are vehicles out there to fit all profiles, thankfully!
I can criticize the LS until I am blue in the face, but if the car fits your profile, it shouldn't matter what Edmunds or I say.

Standing Up for Social Security & Medicare
"Those who suggest that we should privatize Social Security, or turn Medicare over to the health insurance industry, are blind to what life would be like for Rhode Island seniors and their families without these important programs."
Taking Care of Our Seniors
For generations, we have made a promise to senior citizens that they will be able to count on Social Security and Medicare for a measure of dignity at the end of their lives. Today, these programs stand as twin pillars of economic fairness and retirement security.
Some in Washington say we can no longer afford to keep our promise, and that we need to scrap these programs on which so many seniors rely. I strongly disagree, and I'm working to strengthen Social Security and extend its solvency without jeopardizing benefits. And I'm fighting for reforms to Medicare that bring down costs, improve delivery of care, and eliminate fraud and abuse–again, without cutting benefits for our seniors.
How I'm Fighting to Protect Social Security and Medicare
The Rhode Island seniors I have heard from at my community dinners and at senior centers around the State are very concerned about what would happen if their benefits were cut. That's why I'm standing up against efforts to balance the budget on the backs of Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries.
Here are some of the ways I'm working to keep Social Security and Medicare secure for Rhode Island seniors:
Defending Social Security and Medicare from Budget Cuts
In 2011, when Social Security and Medicare were being targeted for cuts, I introduced a resolution in the Senate asserting that any agreement to reduce the budget deficit should not include benefit cuts to these vital programs. I also fought to defeat the House Republican plan to end Medicare as we know it. I led a coalition of my Senate colleagues urging House and Senate budget negotiators to close unjustifiable tax loopholes that overwhelmingly benefit large corporations and the wealthiest Americans, rather than slashing the programs on which tens of millions of elderly and disabled Americans rely.
Standing Up Against Benefit Cuts
In 2011, I held in Rhode Island a hearing of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, entitled "Protecting the Promise to Our Seniors." State and federal health care officials and Rhode Island seniors discussed the gains that Social Security, Medicare and the Older Americans Act have made for seniors, and the need to protect critical benefits from the threat of potentially devastating budget proposals. I heard how Rhode Island seniors stretch every dollar to make ends meet. I then sent a letter to President Obama, along with several of my Senate colleagues, urging the Administration to reduce health care costs by improving the quality of health care, not by cutting benefits for our seniors and disabled citizens who are already struggling.
Fighting for Lower Prescription Costs
I was proud to have helped lead the successful fight in the health care reform law to end the costly Medicare Part D prescription drug "doughnut hole." Prescriptions are often among the costliest items in a senior's budget. I am a cosponsor of the Medicare Prescription Drug Savings and Choice Act, which would authorize Medicare to use its broad purchasing power to negotiate lower prices directly with drug companies, saving up to $24 billion annually. I am also a cosponsor of the Medicare Drug Savings Act, which eliminates a sweetheart deal for brand-name drug manufacturers that allows them to charge higher prices for millions of low-income enrollees in the Medicare Part D program. This would save Medicare $112 billion over ten years.
Preventing Fraud and Abuse
In an effort to rein in the costs of federal health care programs, I helped pass legislation to crack down on fraudulent Medicare claims by requiring Medicare to use predictive modeling technology (like credit card companies use to detect fraud) to stop unlawful Medicare payments before taxpayer funds are spent. I am a cosponsor of the Medicare and Medicaid Fighting Fraud and Abuse to Save Taxpayers' Dollars Act (the Medicare and Medicaid FAST Act) to take steps to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid. I have also requested Government Accountability Office audits of several key programs to analyze and identify potential fraudulent or abusive activity.
Standing With the Defend Social Security Caucus
I am a founding member of the Senate's Defend Social Security Caucus. This group is standing strong to protect seniors and Social Security from Wall Street's privatization efforts and other proposals to cut benefits.
Successes for Seniors
Here are a few of the things I have done in the Senate to defend Social Security and Medicare:
Closing The Medicare Doughnut Hole |
See The 2011 Savings By Zip Code On This Interactive Map |
- Led the successful fight to close the Medicare Part D "doughnut hole," which previously left thousands of Rhode Island seniors paying the total cost of their prescription drugs every year. In 2011, 14,822 Rhode Island seniors benefitted from the closing of the doughnut hole, saving more than $8.2 million, an average of $554 per beneficiary. See the 2011 savings by Rhode Island zip code on this map.
- Guaranteed seniors' access to checkups and screenings by fighting to pass the Affordable Care Act, which allows Medicare beneficiaries access to free preventive services. In 2011, over 16,400 Rhode Island Medicare beneficiaries received a free annual wellness visit.
- Expanded access to care for patients with chronic conditions by helping the Rhode Island Chronic Care Sustainability Initiative receive enhanced payments from Medicare for their innovative, coordinated efforts to improve patient care.
- Helped secure a one-time payment of $250 in 2009 for seniors and disabled individuals receiving Social Security.
- Helped secure a $300 rebate for seniors and Social Security Disability Insurance recipients in 2008.
- Honored by the Rhode Island Alliance for Retired Americans with their Social Security and Medicare Hero Award for advocacy on behalf of Rhode Island seniors.
Your Ideas: How Can We Best Support Our Seniors?
I'm working to make sure that Social Security and Medicare serve Rhode Islanders as reliably and efficiently as possible.
I'd like to hear from you. What policies would you like to see enacted to improve Social Security and Medicare?
Share your thoughts and ideas.

That was then
Take a look at WTIC-AM's first special events remote broadcast vehicle. The vehicle was an ordinary truck equipped with the necessary broadcast equipment. Located in Hartford, CT, this picture shows Chief Engineer J. Clayton Randall (right) and was taken sometime in the 1920s. The truck was parked in an alley next to the Hotel Bond. Lines from the hotel dining room were coupled with telephone terminals to bring listeners the music of The Emil Heimberger Trio performing inside. This was WTIC's first remote broadcast.

Do you remember?
The FL-1000 was a cassette tape deck manufactured by Eumig in 1981. Claiming to be the world's first computer-interfaceable cassette recorder, Eumig prophesied that the FL-1000 would cause the end of endless loops. As many as 16 of these units could be controlled by any eight-bit computer. With its advanced technology, six of the FL-1000s could do the work of more than 100 individual cartridge players.
One deck could rewind while another played, and yet another was in fast-forward. The location of every item on every cassette could be stored at the beginning of each tape and then in the computer, so any sequence could be played back automatically.
