Taking care of flooring may help boost home's resale value
Taking care of flooring may help boost home's resale value
It is never a bad time to improve the resale value of one's home. Well-maintained flooring can help a home develop a cohesive look - attractive to interested buyers - and perhaps even add value to the abode.
Regardless of the particular floor covering, immaculate floors instantly improve a home's aesthetics. Karol Nickell, editor-in-chief of Fresh Home magazine, told SFGate.com that flooring "can help create an impression of spaciousness and airiness."
Experts also suggest taking up wall-to-wall carpeting and refinishing the hardwood that may lurk beneath it. According to the National Wood Flooring Association, 90 percent of real estate agents said houses with well-maintained wood floors sell for higher prices than those without hardwood flooring.
Those interested in installing new flooring, opt for a light colored covering. Nickell suggested to the website, "Whether it's a floating laminate floor, tile or a natural 'green' alternative, lighter-tone flooring can make formerly drab areas appear modern and streamlined."
While maintaining floors may seem like a daunting task, with the arrival of spring cleaning it is the perfect time to fix-up floors and hopefully boost the value of one's home.

SkinnyMinnie's Note:
When you get a bread maker you usually get a cookbook to go with it....well this recipe comes from the cookbook my MIL received with her bread maker. I have not tried them yet, but I will be soon. "The longer the dough is refrigerated before the final shaping, the flakier the croissants will be." Cooking time does include chilling time.
My Private Note
croissa ...

- 177.44 ml butter, sliced thin
- 1 large egg white, slightly beaten
- 1Add ingredients in the order recommended for your bread machine. Use the DOUGH cycle.
- 2When done, remove from bread machine pan and transfer to a greased bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- 3Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.

- 5Fold UNBUTTERED third of dough over the center buttered third, then fold again - over the remaining buttered third.
- 6Seal ends and long side of dough. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- 7Place dough on a lightly floured surface with the short side towards you. Roll out into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.
- 8Fold in thirds, folding from end to end. Place back onto greased cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer the refrigeration time the flakier the croissants.
- 9Place dough on lightly floured surface, with short side towards you. Roll out into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.
- 10Cut rectangle into thirds, both crosswise and lengthwise. Then cut each section in half diagonally to form 18 triangles.

The focus of this book is on speech production and speech processing associated with cleft palate, covering phonetic (perceptual and instrumental), phonological and psycholinguistic perspectives, and including coverage of implications for literacy and education, as well as cross-linguistic differences. It draws together a group of international experts in the fields of cleft lip and palate and speech science to provide an up-to-date and in-depth account of the nature of speech production, and the processes and current evidence base of assessment and intervention for speech associated with cleft palate. The consequences of speech disorders associated with cleft on intelligibility and communicative participation are also covered. This book will provide a solid theoretical foundation and a valuable clinical resource for students of speech-language pathology, for practising speech-language pathologists, and for others interested in speech production in cleft palate, including researchers and members of multi-disciplinary cleft teams who wish to know more about the nature of speech difficulties associated with a cleft palate.

Securing Business Workflows and Networks for Partners
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Outsourcing and using third-party resources to deliver solutions has been a mainstay of IT organizations for years and continues to increase. In fact, according to Gartner, outsourcing will continue to grow in 2009 despite the economic slowdown. Microsoft, like other corporations, uses vendor resources to help carry out many parts of its business functions. For example, Microsoft uses vendors to fulfill hardware manufacturing, retail software production, and code creation for products. To support the business needs for vendor involvement with Microsoft business units, Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) designed and implemented an extranet environment that was flexible enough to accommodate many usage scenarios, yet followed best practices for security, operability, and scalability.

How nice of you, Minnie. I have that last one, Make One for Baby. It has some really nice patterns for afghans in it. I've made 2-3 from the book. |
Minnie, are there any more of the leaflets that you are willing to part with, I have most of the ones you listed, and am not interested in the McCalls Needlework magazines. I love the old stuff, and if you are willing to part with some of it, would appreciate your letting me know? Shaddy |
Shaddy there are 44 other ones but it will tzake me forever to list them the ones I listed are on the Leisure arts website but the others aren't I'll try over the weekend. I really don't want any of them. |
Maybe I'll list the numbers and you can check to see if you have some of them then I'll list the others |
This is great and a time consuming task. Perhaps to make it easier for you, why need just group them into afghans/baby/holiday/assorted or whatever and then see what the postage would be to ship 5 or 6. Then, offer them as "bundles" to people and let them be surprised. Just a suggestion to make your life easier. |
I agree w/Susan idea or you can email me for a couple other suggestions. |
Are these knit or crochet patterns? |

Road TestParity. It's the Holy Grail sought by the National Football League, NASCAR, and the socialist Peace and Freedom Party. But parity is rarely in the minds of auto executives (or their engineers, dealers, or stockholders). Their goal is to win by the largest margin possible.
Certainly the folks at Chrysler weren't thinking parity when they produced their latest-generation minivans. During our first drive of the '96 Dodge Caravan, it soon became obvious that Chrysler had sought-and achieved-a lopsided victory. The Grand Caravan raised class standards to lofty heights with fresh ideas such as a left-side sliding door, swiftly removable wheeled seats, Big Gulp-to-coffee-cup-size ratcheting cupholders, and the first use of 16-inch wheels on a minivan. But more significantly, Chrysler sought to extend a broad advantage over its competition in every area; the result was a pampering ride, peppy performance, thoughtful ergonomics, and confidence-inspiring handling, all of which challenged-and sometimes surpassed-family sedans. The combination made the Caravan a resounding choice for the 1996 Motor Trend Car of the Year award.
With such a lofty target, achieving parity was a tall goal for General Motors. The company's previous avant-garde-styled minivans, led by the Chevrolet Lumina Minivan, could be described as being in a different time zone than the new Grand Caravan's ballpark. Nonetheless, parity now is clearly Chevrolet's aim. So, think of its new Venture as a GM-ized Caravan clone.
Save for a handful of categories, the dimensions of the extended Venture-from length and wheelbase to front head- and legroom-are a virtual match to those of the Grand Caravan. Both employ the same architecture: MacPherson-strut front, beam-axle rear suspensions; transversely mounted V-6s powering front wheels through four-speed automatics; 60-degree OHV powerplants with two-valve aluminum cylinder heads on iron blocks and nearly identical displacement; as well as ABS-assisted disc brakes up front, drums in back. The dead heat was unresolved after performance testing, from similar slalom and skidpad runs to turning circle and EPA mileage measurements.
The Chevrolet is about as close to a clean-sheet, out-with-the-plastic-bodywork-in-with-fresh-sheetmetal, truly all-new vehicle as you'll find. While the Venture (and its Pontiac Trans Sport and Oldsmobile Silhouette fraternal triplets) borrows its front subframe and front suspension configuration from GM's new W-body line (Pontiac Grand Prix, et al.), this new Chevy people-hauler has its own dedicated unibody and rear suspension. It shares little with its Lumina Minivan predecessor beyond a few GM parts-bin pieces and its 3.4-liter/180-horsepower V-6. This potent, willing powerplant-an evolution of the previous 3.1-liter-was among the Lumina Minivan's leading attributes.
The Venture, available in regular- and extended-length versions and regular and uplevel LS trim levels (our tester was an extended-length LS), is GM's first global minivan. In addition to Opel and Vauxhall versions, Europeans can choose an edition that employs Pontiac sheetmetal but is badged a "Chevrolet Trans Sport."
To fit narrower European roads, the svelte new Chevy van is an impressive 4.4 inches slimmer than the Caravan. In the U.S., this makes the Venture easier to stuff into narrow garages and over-flowing parking lots. To compensate for the van's slimmer stance, GM engineers "shrink-wrapped" the interior so aggressively that the Venture boasts 3.9 more cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the third-row seat than that provided by the Grand Caravan. Also, the Chevy's people-space dimensions closely challenge-or surpass-the Dodge's in half of the measurements, though the Grand Caravan has a edge in a few dimensions, most notably front- and third-row legroom.
Unlike that on the Caravan, the Venture's optional left sliding door (available on only long-wheelbase models) is as large as its right, and the 32.0-inch openings are wider than the opposition's 29.8-inch right and 27.2-inch left. Also unlike the Caravan, the Venture offers access to the third-row seats through the left-side sliding door, thanks to its folding modular seats. Its driver's seat, which folds forward like that of a two-door coupe-a minivan first, according to Chevy-eliminates some of the need for the second sliding-door option. The Chevy's optional power-operated right-side sliding door (the left door is manual only) is a welcome electronic doorman.
Parents and children alike will enjoy the dual-mode audio system, which, unlike similar systems, allows the rear passengers to listen (on headphones) to a different audio source than the front riders. While the adults seek child-management tips from Dr. Laura on AM, the kids can listen to "Barney Unplugged."
The Venture is loaded with more cargo nets than a Japanese fishing trawler and is crammed with more storage pockets than an L.L. Bean warehouse. The Dodge's optional power-operated rear vent windows (the Chevy's are manual only) are an advantage challenged by the vents on the Chevy's sliding doors. (The Dodge's sliding door windows are fixed.)
For cross-country drives, the extended Venture's 25-gallon fuel tank-five gallons bigger than the Grand Caravan's-is a notable advantage, especially considering the Dodge's notoriously pessimistic fuel gauge.
According to Chrysler, the '96 Caravan was a clean-sheet redesign, but the new version also retained many of the previous model's features-leaf-spring rear suspension, for example-that worked well and were cost efficient. Changes to the Caravan line for '97 are minimal. Leading the list is optional all-wheel drive, a feature not offered on the Venture. New standard features include liftgate flood lamps, front reading lamps, and a cargo-area power point. Also, the Sport package, which features stiffer springs and shocks and a rear anti-roll bar, is now available in the longer Grand Caravan, in addition to the short-wheelbase Caravan.
Our tester was the midlevel Grand Caravan SE, the line's most popular package, which slots between the just-plain Grand Caravan and the uplevel LE. To keep the price competitive with the Venture's, we ordered the Caravan with the 3.3-liter/158-horse OHV V-6 rather than the 3.8-liter/166-horse engine that has seen duty in most of our previous test vehicles. The 3.3 is down eight horsepower and 24 pound-feet of torque from the 3.8, and its 11.3-second 0-60-mph time was 0.4 second slower than what we recorded with a similar 3.8-equipped Grand Caravan SE. Its performance was also a notable 0.6 second slower than the long-wheelbase Venture's 10.7-second dash. (We recorded an impressive 9.2-second 0-60-mph run with a short Venture.)
The Dodge's dash and instrument panel seem like a calm, gray river meandering through a black landscape. This organic mixture is more calming than the Venture's busy, angular dash, but we found the Grand Caravan's front-seat padding more disagreeable because it pushed our shoulders forward and left our lower back unsupported; its rear benches also left something to be desired on long trips. Some staff members, however, found the Venture's seats to be no better.
While the Dodge's ride was generally composed and its chassis stiffer-feeling and more vibration-free than the Chevy's, its Michelin XW4s produced small but sharp jolts and a metallic ringing over small irregularities such as Botts dots. The steering effort of both vehicles is appropriately firm-feeling-the Dodge's being slightly lighter-but neither offered useful feedback from the tires. The Grand Caravan's brake pedal effort was more reassuring than that of the Venture.
Like most other battles in this comparison, our seat-removal test was a near-draw. The Dodge's rearmost seat went from fully installed to on the ground in an amazing 7.7 seconds; however, lifting the 75-pound bench was a spine-endangering strain even for our fit, 150-pound male tester. It's likely a two-person job for most owners. The Chevy's two modular rear seats-each of which weighs a manageable 38 pounds-took a total of 27.2 seconds to extract, but could be removed by a preteen.
Both of these minivans were production vehicles that came to us factory fresh with only a few dozen miles showing on either odometer; however, each suffered small but notable problems. The Dodge evidenced slow cold starting and some sporadic rattles-surprising since we're used to unfailing solidity from the Caravan. Prior to this test, MT editors sampled several preproduction versions of GM's new minivan triplets and came away impressed with the vehicles' solidity and quiet. This production Venture, however, failed to live up to our expectations. It was plagued by a series of rattles and chassis vibrations, many of which seemed to emanate from the left-side sliding door. (A preproduction three-door, regular-length Venture was much more solid-feeling.) Also typical of other Ventures, another production example suffered from a vibrating roof rack at 75-plus mph.
When the contest is as close as the battle between the Grand Caravan and Venture, price is often a tie-breaker. Our Grand Caravan carried a base price of $20,755, considerably less than the $22,669 starting point of the extended-wheelbase Venture. But the Chevrolet comes standard with many features-a strong V-6 engine, air conditioning, and power door locks and windows-that are extra-cost options on the Dodge. Many other Chevy features on our tester-remote keyless entry, a pollen filter, an electric right-side sliding door, rear sound system controls, an integral child seat, load-leveling suspension, an auxiliary air pump, and automatic-on headlights-either aren't available or weren't included on the Dodge at this price. Subtract just a few of the Chevy's options not found on the Dodge-such as the $185 traction control (which we'd just as soon do without in L.A.), the $125 child seat, $185 load-leveling suspension-and the difference drops to $189, meaning the Chevy offers many more features at essentially the same price.
To help determine the winner of this comparison, please play along with the exciting home version of the Motor Trend Road Test Game:
1. Select the response that best fits your reaction to the following list of features: 28 more horsepower, 0.6-second-better 0-60-mph acceleration, a power right-side sliding door, a pollen filter, separate audio controls with selectable source for rear passengers, daytime running lights, a remote keyless entry system, second-row windows that open, a lightweight modular seating system, load-leveling suspension, auxiliary air pump, and automatic headlights.
a) Cool! Love them allb) Some sound good but others I couldn't care less about.c) Yuk! I would pay extra not to have some of these features.
2. Would you accept increased body vibration and some ride penalties for these features?
a) Gladly!b) Not without some serious whining.c) Not a chance!
If you answered (a) to both questions, the Venture is your choice. The Grand Caravan wins for those who answered (c) to either question or (b)both times. Determining a winner is far more difficult if you chose (a) for the first and (b) for the second, as we did. We love the features the Chevrolet offers at essentially no extra cost, but our enthusiasm is severely dimmed by this minivan's less pleasant driving experience. Based on overall driveability, our testers unanimously voted for the Grand Caravan SE. It's significant to note, however, that a couple of these staffers defected to the Chevy when the list of extras offered on the Venture LS for essentially the same price was factored in.
So, call this one a split decision: The Dodge Caravan retains its title as America's best minivan, but Chevy's Venture has considerably closed the gap. Parity has nearly been achieved.

Clayton News Daily
The Henry Players are putting the finishing touches on their latest production, which directors and cast members hope will put a spring in the steps of viewers.
The acting group will present "Copacabana" tonight, through Sunday, at the Henry County Performing Arts Center in McDonough. "Copacabana" is a musical based on a 1978 Barry Manilow hit by the same name. The production tells the love story of Tony Forte, who works at the Copacabana club in New York City, and Lola, an aspiring showgirl who comes to the club, according to Co-Director Renee Yawn. "Back in the day it's set in 1945 if you played the Copa, you arrived," said Yawn, 42. "You were really something. So Lola arrives in New York City with two suitcases and a dream, and from there she meets folks that work at the Copacabana. They take her in, and she feels like they're family." Lola begins performing at the club, until she is whisked away to Havana, Cuba, by Rico Castelli, who owns a rival club there. "There's a big escape attempt and a rescue ... for her," Yawn said. Yawn and fellow Co-Director Adriana Beckner, both Manilow fans, jumped at the chance to direct the production after learning about the musical. "We looked at each other, and we said, Oh my gosh, that would be so fabulous to direct,' and we'd love to bring it to the Henry Players with all the glitz and the glamour," said Yawn. "It's boy-meets-girl, boy-falls-in-love-with-girl, showgirls, intrigue, drama and all this beautiful music set behind it. We just got really excited about it." Yawn added that although the Henry Players have addressed serious subjects in past productions, her goal with "Copacabana" is simply to entertain audiences. "We're not delivering a message or anything," she said. "You really just need an escape every now and then." Beckner, 33, has been with the Henry Players for three years, and is making her directorial debut with "Copacabana." She described the play as "a really happy show" which appeals to one of her passions. "There's a lot of dancing, and I have a dance background, so that excited me," Beckner said. Beckner admitted there were challenges in putting the show together in 12 weeks. One of those challenges was creating elaborate costumes for the 30-plus cast members. "When we took it on, we had all our crew picked out our lighting, our sound and all that," she said. "The one thing we did not do was costuming. My mother actually came in from Alabama and helped out with costumes, but Renee and I designed and put together 200-plus costumes for the show. That was probably the most time-consuming and most stressful part of the show. We had everything else worked out a year ago." Joshua Findley, of McDonough, will portray Tony Forte in the production. Findley's past acting credits with the Henry Players include roles in "The Sound of Music" and "Grease." He described the role of Forte as "one of the more challenging roles" he has ever performed, because of the production's volume of musical content. Still, he said he was drawn to the character because he could identify with it personally. "Tony Forte is a struggling singer/songwriter, and that's pretty much my day job," said Findley. He added that he learned a valuable lesson, through Tony, which he plans to put to use in his own career as a musician. "It doesn't matter if you're huge or if it works out to the amount of success you want it to work out to," Findley said. "As long as it touches somebody and makes an impact, then you've done the best you could do. That's what I strive for." Robert Oden, 59, will play Rico Castelli in "Copacabana." A 10-year veteran of local stage productions, he has appeared in "Driving Miss Daisy," "The Wizard of Oz," "Titanic," "Sweeney Todd," and "Mousetrap" with the Henry Players. Oden said appearing as the Tropicana club owner represents the most difficult work he has ever done on stage. "I've worked in other productions before, and they've all been challenging, but this is the most challenging because of the choreography, because of the music, because of how much of a demand it puts on you," said Oden. "Everyone has an intricate part, and without everyone's participation, the play doesn't work." Sheilah Mullen, of McDonough, will take on the role of Conchita Alvarez, a Cuban star at the Tropicana, in her first production with the Henry Players. Mullen said she is "nervous" about performing, but has thoroughly enjoyed rehearsing with her castmates. "I'm having the best time of my life," said Mullen. "It's really close and tight-knit, like a family. I'm looking forward to doing more if they'll have me." "Copacabana" will be presented today through Saturday, at 7:30 p.m., each night, with a matinee showing Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance for adults, $10 for children and seniors, and $1 more at the door.

Northern Ireland trio, Fighting With Wire opened the evening with a half hour spanking of their ballsy alt-rock. Compiling the majority of the set from new album Colonel Blood, guitarist/vocalist Cahir, bassist Jamie and drummer Craig impressed with a sound that combines the likes of Foo Fighters with local heroes Biffy Clyro. Although 'Colonel Blood' pounded and delivered with a brawny UK rock style much like early noughties Brit stars, Reuben. 'Waiting On A Way To Believe' and its tight vocal harmonies sounded great on top of groovy riffs and the tenderer 'I Won't Let You Down' was a set highlight with equal amounts of melody and power. "Are you fucking ready for this shit?!" the lads quipped in between a lot of stage banter and jokes in their thick brogue. Heavier slices of alternative goodness came from their 2008 debut Man vs Monster; the stomping raw energy of 'My Armoury' and the darker thrash of 'Make A Fist' showing their experience and ending their time with a confident and authoritative air.
After the 'Wire had left the stage, it was a mere twenty minutes before the next support arrived. Claudio Sanchez stepped out, unruly hair tied back and acoustic guitar in hand. Yes that's right, Coheed and Cambria in some sense, also supported themselves with what was an intimate and heart-warming mini acoustic set. Opening with the beautiful love letter, 'Pearl Of The Stars', the frontman/guitarist started alone to elated whoops and warm applause. He was soon joined by the rest of the band for a stripped down version of fan-favourite, 'A Favour House Atlantic' as well as the already quite tranquil and bare 'Mother Superior' and 'Wake Up'. There were a few blank faces on those that arrived a little late to the mellow and serene sounds coming from the stage. Whispers of "Who's that?" and "Oh brilliant, they're opening for themselves!" were uttered around. Fifteen minutes after they had walked off, they re-emerged all fired up and ready to start blowing fuses and people's minds.
With the orange glow of the band's Keywork symbol adorning the huge backdrop, they appeared to the buzz of low resonating notes and an equally buzzing crowd. Opening with the suitably dramatic and perfect combo of 'No World For Tomorrow' and 'Gravemakers & Gunslingers' from 2007's Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow, they simply astounded the rammed room. Soon enough the magical 'fro was let loose and Claudio looked to be enjoying every second of The Second Stage Turbine Blade classic 'Everything Evil' next to long-standing lead guitarist Travis Stever. Well, from what I could see of his face under those infamous untamed locks. After we had been well and truly pumped up, they continued with the lesser-known 'Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant' which I have only heard once previously. It will be featured on The Afterman: Descension - the upcoming second part to the band's ambitious double-release.
As men of very few words, in-between songs for the majority we were presented with hums and blips of what sounded like spacecraft cockpit sounds as the band regained their energy. The flurry-like riff of 'Ten Speed (Of God's Blood & Burial)' brought us into the next section which also included a brilliant high-energy performance of 'The Suffering'; another from their wonderful third release, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. The passionate high-pitched singer pulled off intricate guitar solos like he eats them for breakfast, all the while mounting the drum riser and once again trying to tie back his hair. The mini "plays" going on around as people attempted to act out as well as mime the words with their friends/partners were both hilarious and touching; the overwhelming passion of the fans was pouring out of the vast venue.
When any speaking did take place, it was of a very humble and genuine nature; no swearing or smutty banter to be heard. The New Yorkers kept it simple - "Are you havin' a good time tonight?" to which the sweat-drenched fans replied with much delight. "We had a new album come out recently..." the unassuming leader gently teased as the opening sweet guitar lick of 'The Afterman' rung out. It's one of the band's most peaceful and tender ballads and provided a little break of sorts from the alternative-rock onslaught. The thing with Coheed and Cambria is that they make it look so easy; like second nature. They're the kind of guys who you can see live, breathe and feed off of music. And everyone in the Capital was soaking up their greatness like a sponge. Another new hit, 'Goodnight, Fair Lady' brought a lighter atmosphere with its comical, Broadway musical style and 'Here We Are Juggernaut' brought back the brawn. In fact it was the only track in the set to come from 2010's Year of the Black Rainbow album (aside from the earlier acoustic 'Pearl Of The Stars').
To end the bulk of their set, Coheed used the slow-burn of 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3'; recently returned drummer Josh Eppard strongly guiding the dark number. The big choruses instigated a succession of crowd surfers whilst cries of "Man your own jackhammer! Man your battle stations!" filled the air. As the track ended and the band left the stage, I couldn't quite make up my mind on what a great encore would entail. With so many strong tracks across their six mammoth concept albums to pick from, I was ready and willing to hear anything further from their vast catalogue. With the Keywork logo behind starting to glow red and another low hum resonating from what appeared to be new bassist, Zach Cooper's instrument, I had a fair idea what was coming. And soon enough the cinematic guitar melody of 'Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute' paired with Claudio's creepy but enticing "la la la" vocal enveloped me. The nigh-on eight minute single proved to be even grander in the flesh; every complicated section played flawlessly.
From one huge crowd pleaser to another, they sustained momentum with one of their best live songs; the tense and relentless 'Welcome Home' with its instantly recognisable acoustic intro. The highlight was the singer ascending what appeared to be a plinth at the side of the stage for an incredible guitar solo, shredding his double-headed Gibson above his head and whipping his hair maniacally. They then brought the evening to a slow and steady conclusion with the fitting 'The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut' - "This is no beginning, yeah yeah! This is the final cut, I'm in love" It's a groovy prog-rock jam with plenty of impressive soloing and a cool Jimi Hendrix-like vibe. As an extended outro of sorts, instead of being a big final full stop to the set, it was more of a cliff-hanger ending; an Arnie-type "We'll be back" moment which suited me to a T.
Coheed and Cambria are a band who come to life in the live environment; no gimmicks, cheesy wordplay or OTT production needed. Their professionalism and passion emanated from the stage and they lit up London with a well-executed set from their ever-expanding and dynamic repertoire of progressive and melodious rock slabs. I particularly loved the one-part acoustic and one-part electric element to the evening. It felt like something more personal and meaningful than your usual brief encounter with an international band of their calibre. With a lengthy US touring schedule still ahead, it will see them right through to the February 2013 release of the highly-anticipated concluding part of The Afterman story. And with any luck they'll be back on this shore in the new year to play it out, ideally with a high-profile, if not headline slot at a UK summer festival. They certainly deserve it from the standard of this performance alone.

In an effort to calm the public and quell Democratic unease, Obama announced that expiring policies can be renewed for one year, a move Franken called "a step in the right direction."
But otherwise, Franken has treaded cautiously through the latest thicket in the Obamacare debate, saying he is "still reviewing the details of the President's proposal to determine whether it's sufficient."
Franken remains an unwavering champion of the health care law, which was conceived to bring coverage to some 30 million uninsured Americans. He frequently highlights a provision he authored requiring that insurance companies spend at least 80 to 85 cents of every premium dollar on health care and which has generated millions of dollars in consumer rebates.
In response to the disastrous rollout of the government health exchange website, Franken has said he would be "open" to delaying the final March 31 enrollment deadline. But only if the problems continue. He has not joined calls to delay the individual mandate, as have some Democrats facing election.
"Sen. Franken shares Minnesotans' frustration with the problems in the initial rollout of HealthCare.gov," Burgess said. "He's focused on making the Affordable Care Act work for Minnesota."
Franken supporters emphasize Minnesota's low health insurance premiums and the relatively problem-free launch of MNsure, factors that could blunt GOP attacks in the state. Democrats also argue that while the website has been a PR disaster, it does not signify a bad law.
"People are frustrated, disappointed that it cost so much to fix this problem, that it should have been done right the first time," said Minnesota DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin. "But they're not saying we should go back to the days the Republicans want to take us back to."
Both sides are keenly aware that with a year to go before voters go to the polls, a lot can happen. Americans United for Change, a Democratic-allied group, has been circulating a Wall Street Journal piece by Princeton economist Alan Blinder, a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. While defending the law, Blinder sounds a note of caution.
"I fear that what is being sloughed off by some [Affordable Care Act] supporters as merely bad PR might wind up being a great deal more damaging," Blinder wrote. "Remember, in politics, spin is often more important than reality."

6 Famous Movie Locations Making Cameos in Other Movies
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on November 17, 2011 | Comments (3)Hollywood is good at recycling things. After all, you build a giant house or an elaborate prop and you wouldn't just use it once and toss it, right? This is why they have backlots at studios; they can hoard all their favorite stuff for later use (like the iconic building in the image above) or, failing that, at least use it for the studio tours. Same kind of goes for on-location sets – some places are just too dynamic to use only once, especially when the owner is more than willing to pimp out their place for cash. This circle of life is great when you are working with a generic looking high school or cookie-cutter set but there are the occasional moments when they use a location just a little too iconic for its own good – and like a type-cast actor, you can't help but to see the location as anything besides what made it famous in the first place.
31 Things We Learned From the 'Die Hard' Commentary Track
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on July 19, 2011 | Comments (3)And welcome back to Commentary Commentary, our weekly scouring of the DVD shelves and all the vast film knowledge held therein. It's time once again to listen to a feature length film commentary from one of our most beloved films and go over all the great pieces of information we learn from it. This week, we've got another classic, a film that sparked a whole sub-genre of other films. And, before you pitch the idea of "Die Hard on a Film Blog," know that Joel Silver probably has three screenplays in his office with that exact same pitch. That's right. This week, we're cracking open our copy of Die Hard and going through the commentary. So sit back, enjoy how not Christmas-y it is right now, and drink some eggnog anyway. Hey, it couldn't hurt.

Businesses Increasingly Face Water Risks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The world will face a 40 per cent shortfall in water supplies by 2030. The good news is that if one are smart, one can meet the challenge successfully. But this can only happen through co-operation between industry, governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and communities, SABMiller's head of sustainable development, Andy Wales, told INSEAD Knowledge on the sidelines of the LBC's (London Business Conference) 'Corporate Water Scarcity Risk Management Conference' held recently.

Fred Smith introduces the 2010 Global Citizenship Update |
FedEx was founded to move goods faster and more efficiently. As we grew, we helped more people and businesses around the world access the global marketplace. And that helped make people's lives better.
We are proud to have changed what's possible. Just as important, we are proud of our commitment to use resources responsibly, to expand our capabilities wisely, and to help the communities we serve thrive.
Our 2010 Global Citizenship Update discusses ways we try to live up to those responsibilities. Certainly, it talks about how we're reducing our dependence on oil and how we're using technology to do more with less. But the report also tells stories—stories of how FedEx team members are finding better solutions in an increasingly complex world.
Check out how Nathan Loftice is waging a war on waste at FedEx Office. Or what Mike Vickers and Eric Pagano are doing to increase the use of recycled materials at FedEx Ground. And learn how Jeremy Goldstritch is reducing fuel usage through Eco-Drive programs in Asia.
Their actions speak as loudly as the numbers that mark our progress. Such team members are thinking globally and acting locally to make sure their cities, communities and neighborhoods are increasingly good places to live and work.
I am inspired by them, and we at FedEx are proud to be a part of a team of 290,000 committed to these principles.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is your boot size. You have a size 11 boot, that means you need a wide board to accommodate your boot. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck with Forum. They are light and poppy, and made of solid materials. The rocker/camber combo would also be really good for your type of terrain.

"I want to send the message that I'm not sending any messages!"
In light of reports that there was a bit of a tiff between commissioner Bud Selig and his longtime compadre, White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, regarding the succession committee naming a new commissioner, Selig issued the following statement Friday:
Since discussions began in January about formulating an orderly process for selecting the next Commissioner, I have stated both privately and publicly that my desire was to conduct a thorough, thoughtful and discreet search that includes the input of all 30 Major League Clubs. The seven-member Succession Committee, which was named on May 15th and has been chaired with distinction by Bill DeWitt, has accomplished this goal while working independently to get to the point we are today. While Bill has kept me well-informed, the results of this process are a reflection of the Committee's work alone, and I have not promoted individual candidates.
As we approach next week's vote, I will continue to encourage Clubs to voice their opinions within the confines of this process. Reports of personal animosity between Jerry Reinsdorf and me—or any other alleged disputes between owners regarding the process or the candidates—are unfounded and unproductive. I respect the ownership of our 30 franchises and have complete faith that the process will produce an individual that all in Baseball will be eager to support.

In the past I have always froze my cakes after filling them and crumb coating with with swiss butter cream. I would then cover them with fondant and stack them (if they were multi-layered and put them in the fridge). Depending on the fridge temperature, this usually caused a lot of sweating. I want to leave the cakes out after they are covered but I'm afraid the soft butter cream underneath will not withstand on its own, and once softened will look bumpy? Is this true? Does anyone else leave there fondant cakes unrefrigerated even if they are filled with butter cream? Any tips or suggestions?
Thank you

No discipline for Coyotes players
NEWARK, N.J. -- The NHL will not discipline players on the Phoenix Coyotes after conducting an investigation of their postgame actions and comments following their season-ending, overtime loss in the Western Conference finals, league executive vice president Colin Campbell said Wednesday night before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals.
The league was not pleased with some of what happened after Dustin Penner's overtime winner May 22, including Coyotes center Martin Hanzal skating aggressively toward a referee and making a gesture, goalie Mike Smith throwing his stick, Shane Doan's strong postgame comments and Keith Yandle's postgame comments.
Yandle suggested it was no surprise the calls didn't go his team's way given the similar colors of the refs' and Kings' uniforms.
Campbell said he interviewed all four players but ultimately decided not to proceed with any more discipline.
"I talked to all the players in question," Campbell said. "I said to Smith, 'Tossing your stick at the referee was real disrespectful.'
"I said to Doan, 'Your comments after the game were not totally correct about the officiating and what you thought.' I said, 'I didn't hear anything after the Chicago series after (Marian) Hossa got hurt and a major wasn't applied. I didn't hear anything from the Chicago Blackhawks.' I said to Doan, 'There's ups and downs in the playoffs.'
"I said to Hanzal, 'The way you went at the official after the game physically, you didn't make contact, but that was disrespectful.' I said, 'You're lucky you weren't suspended by the official for doing something like that. Even though you didn't make contact I thought it was (of) a threatening nature.'
"And I said to Yandle, 'I thought your comment about who was wearing what color was wrong. That's the integrity of the game and you're suggesting that because you didn't have an owner that you have no support?' I said, 'Not a chance. We don't care who owns the team, who doesn't own the team. And our officials don't care.'
"And they all agreed. The fact that it was a long season and the fact it was the end of the game and they lost that way. ... I said those actions were disrespectful and the results might have been different if this was in-season or in a middle of a series."
But with their season over, Campbell opted to not push it further, while still having made his point very clear in separate conversations with all four players. Doan was Campbell's last interview Tuesday.
"Doan was the most apologetic," said Campbell. "But I had to bring it full circle. And (Coyotes GM) Donny (Maloney) was very supportive."
The Coyotes were upset and emotional after their season ended just moments after Kings winger Dustin Brown crushed Coyotes defenseman Michal Rozsival with a controversial, borderline hit. There was no penalty on the play.

Top Critic Reviews
Fresh: The first effort by writer/director John Hughes on his way to becoming the William Shakespeare of teenage angst. One really has to be aware of the climate of the early '80s to truly understand the impact that this film had among teens.
- Brad Laidman, Film Threat, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Fresh: Candles is a brazenly mischievous, consistently uproarious comedy that christens the devastating Hughes-fu with vivacious results.

Audience Reviews
An all time favourite of mine that I have loved since I was about 12 years old... I wonder how much of an unbiased review this will be.... Admittedly, on a re-watch last night, (and it's probably about the 100th re-watch in my life - the only thing that surprises me about this one anymore is the soundtrack on the remastered DVD, as I watched my old, now retired, VHS copy so frequently that the changed soundtrack they used on that is ingrained in my head - I can acknowledge a few flaws. Most obvious is that Jake the dream guy is not actually that much of a catch at all. A guy who lets his passed out drunk girlfriend drive home with a teenager he just met, who can barely drive - yeah, that's a keeper. And let's not start on Long Duk Dong - very PC, I don't think! (Having said that I love Long Duk Dong!). On the plus side, Molly Ringwald as Samantha, who's parents are so busy thinking of her sister's upcoming wedding that they forget it's her 16 birthday, is just fantastic. Also great is Anthony Michael Hall as Farmer Ted and Haviland Morris is actually quite sweet as Caroline. This is just all round a great 80's movie, one of my favourites from John Hughes. Not quite as great as Pretty in Pink, but certainly on it's way there. I don't know if it would be as much loved by teens today, but luckily they have some great films of their own such as Easy A, which reminded me a little of this even though the story is nothing alike (maybe because they "borrowed" some of the (great!) soundtrack. I love the ending too with Jake at his car and then Samantha blowing out her candles. A sweet movie with enough angst to be relatable, but an ending that will leave you smiling.
- romy861, Monday, October 11, 2010
Molly Ringwald is just so incredibly adorable and perfect as the normal sixteen year old girl. The fact that that you can buy her performance makes everything else somehow work. Even with some kooky aspects, like horny Chinese exchange students, it still comes off as a very believable high school experience. The movie's premise somehow captures the worst fear of a lot of people, being totally forgotten and ignored. The romance, comedy and drama really seem genuine and that's what makes it so great.

Scarlett Johansson has been discussing the script for forthcoming sequel
Avengers: Age Of Ultron
, and sounds mighty impressed with Joss Whedon's work…
"I think the script is dark and it's dry," says Johansson. "It's got this amazing one-liner, glass-cutting sense of humour."
"Obviously the script is very cerebral. It doesn't lose that exciting comic book aspect that people enjoyed in the first film, but it's smart and it feels like the next instalment. It doesn't feel like a rehashing, it feels like these characters are moving forward, plotlines are moving forward."
"It's deep and I think that's why people really respond to the Marvel universe, because the films are fun and exciting and have all that flashy stuff, but there's a gravity to them. People can expect that gravity this time around."
Dark, eh? Sounds like we shouldn't be surprised to see Joss wield that famous character-killing knife of his…
Directed by Whedon and featuring new additions James Spader, Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson,
Avengers: Age Of Ultron
will open in the UK on 1 May 2015.

ABSTRACT: Aims: The role of anticoagulation during percutaneous coronary intervention has been well established. However, the role of anticoagulation during diagnostic coronary angiography remains unclear. Prothrombin fragment1+2 (PF1+2) and D-dimer (DD) have been reported to be useful in evaluating thrombotic phenomena. This study was designed to determine whether activation of coagulation occurs during diagnostic coronary angiography as measured by DD and PF1+2.Methods and results: Patients not on anticoagulation (except for aspirin) and with no documented coagulopathy undergoing elective diagnostic coronary angiography were enrolled in this prospective study. Blood samples for DD and PF1+2 were obtained serially after the femoral arterial sheath was placed. Peripheral venous blood was drawn along with an initial arterial blood sample from the sheath; thereafter, arterial blood samples from the sheath were obtained every 10 minutes for a maximum of 60 minutes or until the procedure was completed or when anticoagulation was initiated. A final venous sample was drawn at the end of the procedure. The data were analysed in time interval correlation to the DD and PF1+2 level.Forty-two patients were enrolled in this study, 15 were female (35%). There were 25 (59%) patients with diabetes. The mean fluoroscopic time was 8.8+/-7.81 minutes and the average time for the procedure was 29+/-22.70 minutes. There were 192 blood samples analysed. 67% of patient completed the procedure within 20 minutes and 91% within 30 minutes. Mean venous PF1+2 level was 0.20 nmol/L at baseline and 0.39 nmol/L (p=0.06) at the final interval, while the mean arterial PF1+2 level was significantly elevated. There was an increase of 0.2 nmol/L of arterial PF1+2 every 10 minutes (p<0.001). Mean venous DD at baseline and final levels were 0.41 ug/mL and 0.45 ug/mL respectively (p=0.68). There was a significant change in arterial DD with an increase of 0.02ug/ml every 10 minutes (p=0.023).Conclusions: In diagnostic coronary angiography, there is an early rise in PF1+2 levels in blood drawn through the arterial sheath suggesting that the procedure triggers local activation of coagulation that is not observed systemically. Prophylactic anticoagulation may not be necessary in stable patients without other known risk factors who will be undergoing elective diagnostic coronary angiography for less than 30 minutes. For procedures that are prolonged, or anticipated to be prolonged greater than 30 minutes, it may be advisable to administer anticoagulation to prevent thrombus formation. These findings may not be pertinent to patients with thrombophilia.EuroIntervention: journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology 11/2007; 3(3):345-9. · 3.76 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting (PCI-S) are both safe and effective approaches for revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. However, conflicting information exists when comparing the efficacy of the two methods. In this study, we examined the outcomes of major adverse cardiovascular events and death for subgroups of typical "real-world" patients undergoing coronary revascularization in the modern era. Patients were included if they were revascularized by CABG or PCI-S, had > or = 5 years of follow-up, and had > or = 2-vessel disease. Patients were followed for an average of 7.0+/-3.2 years for incidence of death and major adverse cardiovascular events (death, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization). Multivariate regression models were used to correct for standard cardiac risk factors including age, sex, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, family history of coronary artery disease, smoking, hypertension, heart failure, and renal failure. Subgroup analyses were also performed, stratified by age, sex, diabetes, ejection fraction, and history of PCI-S, CABG, or myocardial infarction. A total of 6369 patients (CABG 4581; PCI-S 1788) were included. Age averaged 66+/-10.9 years, 76% were male, and 26% were diabetic. Multivariate risk favored CABG over PCI-S for both death (hazard ratio 0.85; P=0.001) and major adverse cardiovascular events (hazard ratio 0.51; P<0.0001). A similar advantage with CABG was also found in most substrata, including diabetes. In this large observational study of patients undergoing revascularization for multivessel coronary artery disease, a long-term benefit was found, in relationship to both death and major adverse cardiovascular events, for CABG over PCI-S regardless of diabetic status or other stratifications.Circulation 09/2007; 116(11 Suppl):I226-31. · 14.95 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Left ventricular (LV) diverticulum is a rare congenital abnormality for which the etiology, management, and natural history are very poorly understood. Although most often observed as a single diverticulum, we report a case of multiple LV diverticuli in an asymptomatic adult referred for coronary evaluation due to an abnormal electrocardiogram. LV diverticuli are often associated with other congenital malformations, but can also be found in isolation. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides enhanced ability to determine size, location, and morphological characteristics, which may improve lesion assessment and management. A review of the condition and reported complications is discussed.Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions 03/2007; 69(3):453-8. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although previous studies have demonstrated that various "statins" decrease levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), the dose-response relation for lowering hs-CRP by the clinically important drug simvastatin compared with lipid lowering is unclear. A 16-week, randomized, double-blind study was performed in patients with stable coronary artery disease and high hs-CRP levels (>3 mg/L). Subjects were randomized to placebo, 20 mg of simvastatin, or 80 mg of simvastatin for 12 weeks. Those currently on a statin first underwent a 4-week washout. Of the 107 total patients randomized, 96 completed the trial, and 89 were able to be evaluated for efficacy. Changes in hs-CRP differed across simvastatin and placebo groups (change score +1.6 vs -0.6 mg/L, p = 0.004), but no dose response was observed when comparing 80 with 20 mg/day (-0.6 vs -0.5 mg/L, respectively). A strong dose response was observed for changes in total (p <0.01) and low-density lipoprotein (p <0.001) cholesterol. hs-CRP changes did not correlate with low-density lipoprotein changes. In conclusion, this randomized trial in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease showed a strong dose response for simvastatin for total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering but not for hs-CRP.The American Journal of Cardiology 02/2007; 99(2):149-53. · 3.43 Impact Factor

Previously, Google+ had only been available to certain higher education institutions.
"Like Google Apps, we think Google+ can help colleagues collaborate more easily and get things done," said Ronald Ho, Product Manager for Google Apps, in a blog post.
"Google+ hangouts in particular make it easy to hold face-to-face meetings with others from any device with a camera and internet connection. Starting this week, you'll be able to invite up to 15 people to a hangout, compared to the previous 10-person limit."
Users can also schedule a hangout in their calendars' or join one directly from Gmail.
The new feature will be rolling out to customers over the next few days.
