Below, we rounded up several thoughts critics had on "Roar." Some feel it's a proper pop anthem, while others wish this particular tiger had a little more bite. Read what music writers had to say about Katy's new single, then let us know your own thoughts on the track.
:: VIBE touts the song as "a sure-to-be radio hit with an empowering theme similar to her track 'Firework,' off 2010′s Teenage Dream album."
:: Rolling Stone's writeup is pretty neutral, though it notes, "With its easy poppy beat and repeated refrains of 'You held me down but I got up,' and 'You're gonna hear me roar,' the lead single strikes a determined note for the new album."
:: New York Daily News calls the song's chorus "catchy," and says the following of the early leak: "…instead of going into crisis management, Perry, 28, and her team gave the song an early release."
:: Entertainment Weekly predicts, "The song's clear jock-jam aspirations — sample lyrics: 'I got the eye of the tiger, the fire/Dancing through the fire, 'cause I am a champion/And you're gonna hear me roar' — will likely make the song a fall-football staple (the Bengals should just send her a check now)."
:: The Los Angeles Times hears a bit of Bareilles: "Just like her previous inescapable smashes, 'Roar' comes courtesy of pop masterminds Dr. Luke and Max Martin and will easily claw its way to the top of radio spins even though the song's uncomfortably close sonic flirtation with Sara Bareillies' smash 'Brave' already has fans up in arms on Twitter.":: Slant isn't impressed: "'Roar,' which references Survivor's 1982 hit 'Eye Of The Tiger' in its rather benign lyrics, leans more toward rock than Perry's past hits, but it's still got an unmistakable bubble-gum pop center. It's more of a yelp than a roar."
:: The Lava Lizard laments, "'Roar' is yet another predictable Pop anthem based on catchy melodies and a radio-friendly beats instead of lyrical depth. How exactly is this song different from Perry's pervious material? How does it exemplify the darker, more introspective sound of the late 1990s Madonna?"
:: RKD had this to say: "It sounds like Sara Bareilles' 'Brave.' It sounds like the Teenage Dream album, just with less sugar and more cheese. It's catchy, but not really in a good way. But also not really in a bad way, either. Sorry. I tried to care, but it's just one of those songs that doesn't evoke much of anything. I won't change the station when it comes on the radio, though."
:: Under The Gun Review pulled the trigger on this upbeat writeup: "Perry wants you to want to scream the chorus from the top of your lungs, and thanks to brilliant production she accomplishes that long before the larger-than-life final refrain kicks in."

William Wilson Lies and Deceit Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Let me call myself, for the present, William Wilson. The fair page now lying before me need not be sullied with my real appellation. (1)
The unreliable narrator sets the stage for the theme of deceit.
Upon mankind at large the events of very early existence rarely leave in mature age any definite impression. All is gray shadow—a weak and irregular remembrance—an indistinct regathering of feeble pleasures and phantasmagoric pains. With me this is not so. In childhood I must have felt with the energy of a man what I now find stamped upon memory in lines as vivid, as deep, and as durable as the exergues of the Carthaginian medals. (11)
The narrator's repeated insistence that he remembers this very well actually brings to surface the suspect nature of memory.
Perhaps it was this latter trait in Wilson's conduct, conjoined with our identity of name, and the mere accident of our having entered the school upon the same day… (15)
The more William insists that all is coincidence, the more we are convinced it is not.

For our new Sports Authentic range, we've revived a style that became popular in the 1990s as the uniform of the Britpop movement. This track jacket is taken straight from one of our archive pieces: we've made the body in a cotton/polyester mix for comfort and stretch, with a classic funnel neck, and our distinct white zip placket and enamel coated zip.

December Is No Fun, Stocks Drop Again as Microsoft Declines
TheStreet) -- Stocks dropped for a fifth consecutive session on Thursday as labor market improvement and better economic growth raised the possibility of the
Federal Reserve tapering in December.
- The S&P 500 fell 0.43% to 1,785.03 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 0.43% to 15,821.51. The Nasdaq dipped 0.12% to 4,033.16.
- Joe Bell, senior equity analyst with Schaeffer's Investment Research said: "The S&P 500 was up for the eight consecutive week last week, so it isn't a surprise to see the market take a bit of a breather this week. There will be a heavy dose of jobs reports toward the end of the week, which will get a ton of focus as investors continue to look for clues of when tapering will begin. The momentum has been strong, but many of the indices continue to struggle with round number areas they first approached last week and short-term consolidation before the next up leg makes sense here."
- Weekly initial jobless claims fell 23,000 to a better than expected 298,000 in the week of November 30 according to the Labor Department. Economists were looking for a rise to 325,000. The second estimate on third-quarter GDP registered at 3.6%, up from the 2.8% advanced estimate. October factory orders data from the Census Bureau could show a dip of 1% after gaining 1.7% the previous month.
- In stock news, Microsoft (MSFT) dropped 2.4% after a Ford Motor director indicated chief executive Alan Mulally would not lead the computer company. Apple (AAPL) rose 0.53% as China Mobile appeared closer to offering its 759 million subscribers iPhones.
- S&P 500 Winner and Loser: Discount retailer Dollar General (DG) was the biggest percentage gainer in the S&P 500 as shares jumped 6.1% percent after boosting its full-year earnings forecast. Game developer Electronic Arts (EA) was the worst performer in the S&P as shares fell 6%. Puma Biotechnology (PBYI) leapt 67.7% after saying its breast-cancer drug would likely progress to final clinical trials needed before regulatory approval.
- The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo slid from this week's almost six-year closing high, finishing down 1.5% to 15,177.49 as investors keep an eye on potential Fed action. Nevertheless, the benchmark has risen about 46% year to date and is on track for its strongest annual performance since 1972 thanks to the country's aggressive stimulus.
- The FTSE 100 slipped 0.18% and the DAX in Germany was down 0.61% amid an announcement from European Central Bank Head Mario Draghi after the ECB and Bank of England left their benchmark interest rates at record lows. There are growing expectations that Draghi will be under pressure to loosen up monetary policy further as euro-area inflation continues to cool. While the ECB has cut the annual inflation forecast for 2014 to 1.1% from an earlier estimate of 1.3%, Draghi has not signalled that the central bank is in a rush to take additional policy action

Timeless suits from London's Savile Row back in fashion
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - With a blazing fire, leather sofa, and a half-empty bottle of single malt whisky by the door, London bespoke suit-maker Anderson & Sheppard feels more like a gentlemen's club frozen in time than a 21st century luxury retailer.
At the back of the shop a number of impeccably dressed tailors cut cloth on wooden work benches much like they have been doing for the last 100 years. One can almost imagine past customers like Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso or some faded Victorian gentleman turning up at any moment.
This Savile Row tailor, where first names are banned and customers are always "sir", may feel like a museum to Britain's faded imperial glory but the bespoke menswear business on "the Row" is enjoying a remarkable resurgence.
Anderson & Sheppard is just one of the names on London's most renowned street for high-end tailors.
Alongside Gieves & Hawkes, Dege & Skinner, Henry Poole & Co and others, tailors on "the Row" have been dressing royalty, aristocrats, statesmen, great warriors and the wealthy since British dandy Beau Brummel first introduced trousers to fashionable London society at the start of the 19th century.
Behind the fusty facade "the Row" is attracting a new generation of less exclusive young clientele despite suit prices starting at 3,800 pounds with a combination of client discretion, a subtle online presence and absolute attention to detail and quality.
Anderson & Sheppard had a 2012 turnover of 4 million pounds and growth has been over 13 percent every year since 2009.
A number of other houses on Savile Row have also enjoyed over 10 percent growth in recent years with total revenue for the informal group of suitmakers now estimated to be 30-35 million pounds.
"We're doing very well actually. We've found that business has picked up in the last few years, and we couldn't be busier," Anderson & Sheppard manager Colin Heywood said as he showed Reuters around the shop.
The renaissance of classic British menswear is a dramatic turn-around for an industry that was left on the ropes by the rise of decent quality ready-to-wear suits and shirts in shops during the 1970s and 1980s.
Clothes that were then dismissed as old fashioned, over-priced and going the way of bowler hats, are now the subject of renewed interest reflected in sartorial blogs and forums from India to the United States.
"We've noticed that we get a lot more younger customers coming in. I think that's particularly the result of the internet. There's so much more written about bespoke tailoring now in books, magazines and online," Heywood said.

After wave of QE, onus shifts to leaders to boost economy
DAVOS, Switzerland - Central banks have done their best to rescue the world economy by printing money and politicians must now act fast to enact structural reforms and pro-investment policies to boost growth, central bankers said on Saturday.

My ex's wife is jealous
Q: Dear Meredith,
I'm not really sure what to do, and since it involves love, I thought I'd give you and your readers a try.
In the mid-2000s, I dated a very nice man, "Noel," who was great, just not a good fit. I was the one who ended it, but we both saw it coming, and while it was painful, we were both OK with it.
I have since started dating "Ben," who I've known for a long time. Noel met a nice woman and got married. Good for them.
The problem is Noel's wife. Noel and I don't talk much, but we know each other's major life changes. We are friends on Facebook (and here's where it's about to get icky). Noel recently posted that he finished a long race. I knew he'd been working up to it for a while, so I commented my congratulations. Nothing inappropriate.
When I got up the next morning, I had a Facebook message from Mrs. Noel. It was not nice. "Don't talk to my husband!" was just one of the choice phrases.
I am tempted to tell my ex that his wife is crazy, but that feels like tattling. On the other hand, I would want to know if my significant other was doing something like that.
– Should I Say Something?, Boston
A: You need to stay out of it, SISS. And no more commenting on his Facebook profile. I'm not saying that you're in the wrong for saying a quick congrats online, but you don't know what this woman has been told about you. For all you know, Noel has mentioned you over the years with a bit too much love in his eyes. For all you know, they're having problems.
If she really is a crazy person, he'll find out without you having to tell him. If she behaves like this with other people, Noel will figure it out. This isn't your problem to solve, and you're not his platonic friend. You're just a well-meaning ex who needs to fade away.
If he ever asks why you've stopped checking in, you can tell him that you want to respect the boundaries of his marriage. That will be enough of a hint.
Readers? Should she reach out to Noel? Is Noel's wife wrong about the contact or is this more about her delivery? Would you want to know from an ex if your new wife had acted out? Discuss.
– Meredith

It might be more accurate to identify the protagonist in this little tale as a class action law firm, rather than as a California "fan":
Fred Weiss is the only plaintiff named in the class-action suit. In it, he claims he suffered "actual harm" because he was "subjected to the aggravation that necessarily accompanies the invasion of privacy caused by unsolicited text message calls, but also because consumers have to pay their cell phone service providers for the receipt of such wireless calls." Weiss is bringing the suit under a federal law that prohibits unsolicited texts. …
The terms and conditions of the text program said the Pens would send no more than three messages per week for those who chose to subscribe. In his first week as a subscriber, Weiss claims the Pens sent him five texts. In the second week, Weiss says he got four.

Reading from the weekend:
- At the American Spectator, Quin Hillyer says his co-thinkers "need to really get up in arms about" changing the law, and has kind words for a certain website that is "the single best place to track all its devastation". At The New Criterion, Roger Kimball finds that the threat to vintage children's books provides a good instance of the dangers of "safety". And commentator Hugh Hewitt is back with another column, "The Congress Should Fix CPSIA Now".
- Numerous disparaging things have been said of the "mommy bloggers" who've done so much to raise alarms about this law. Because, as one of Deputy Headmistress's commenters points out, it's already been decided that this law is needed to "protect the children", and it's not as if mere mothers might have anything special to contribute about that.
- Plenty of continuing coverage out there on the minibike/ATV debacle, including Brian O'Neill, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (office of local Congressman Mike Doyle, D-Pa., says most members think, dubiously, that ban "can be fixed without new legislation"); Lebanon, Pa. ("Ridiculous… It's closed an entire market for us"), Waterbury, Ct. ("The government does stupid things sometimes without thinking"), and, slightly less recent, Atlantic City, N.J. ("I would've had three sales this weekend, so they stomped us"). Some background: Off-Road (agency guidance in mid-February told dealers to get youth models "off their showfloors and back into holding areas"); Motorcycle USA ("With right-size models being unavailable to families, we may see more kids out on adult ATVs and we know that this leads to crashes"). To which illustrator Meredith Dillman on Twitter adds: "Just wait until someone gets hurt riding a broken bike they couldn't get replacement parts for."
- One result of CPSIA is that a much wider range of goods are apt to be subject to recalls, but not to worry, because the CPSC recall process is so easy and straightforward.

- 1/3 cup(s) canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 1.5 cup(s) (about 3 whole) mashed bananas
- 1/3 cup(s) buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1.50 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup(s) whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) salt
Bavarian Cream
- 1 teaspoon(s) unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon(s) cold water
- 3/4 cup(s) nonfat milk
- 2 tablespoon(s) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup(s) whipping cream
- 2 bananas, peeled, for garnish
- To make cake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush two 9-inch round cake pans lightly with oil and line the bottoms with waxed or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Whisk together oil, egg, egg white and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl. Stir in mashed banana, buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir together flours, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the banana mixture and fold in just until blended.
- Divide the batter between the pans and bake until the tops spring back when touched lightly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.
- To make cream: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small saucepan. Let stand for 1 minute to soften. Stir in milk and 2 tablespoons sugar; heat over medium heat, stirring to dissolve gelatin. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and transfer to a medium bowl. Refrigerate until the mixture is the consistency of raw egg whites, 40 to 45 minutes, stirring often.
- Beat whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. Whisk 1/3 of the whipped cream into the milk mixture. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
- To assemble cake: Shortly before serving, place 1 cake layer on a serving plate and spread half the Bavarian cream over it. Slice 1 banana evenly over the cream. Top with the second cake layer. Spread remaining cream over the cake and slice remaining banana evenly over the top.

What Mods have been upgraded recently? Your pick of the best?
Heres the deal...
We are booked for the LM rooms at AoA from 10-25 - 11-2. If free dining is offered, even if I got my own special PIN (which I have never gotten, thanks for nuttin Disney!! ;)) I won't be able to use it. Personally, I'd be willing to switch resorts to get the free dining, but DH isn't on board with that idea. He would rather stay at AoA because its the newest. So I'm trying to find out if there are "new" i.e. re-vamped MODs or Vaules out there that he may be down with us switching to, in order to get the FD. If your at a MOD, do you get the DDP or the QS plan for free?? We stayed at POFQ back in 2008/2009 and he felt that the rooms were "less than anything special" and I know they had been recently redone at that point. So needless to say, they are out of the question on this trip (though I'd stay there again since I loved being able to take the boat to DtD, and I thought the grounds were beautiful.) Anyway.... Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!! :cool1: |
We were originally booked at AoA in a Little Mermaid room for September but when free dining was offered, we switched to a Royal Room at Port Orleans Riverside. Those rooms were re-done about a year ago as far as I know. We received free DDP and our package at POR is costing us less than our package at AoA. It didn't save us a ton of money (a little over $100) but that is because we had booked DDP with our former AoA package. I'm excited to try a Royal Room and I hope our room is as nice as those rooms look in pictures.
I just emailed my TA, and asked her for a new quote. If we stayed at Caribean Beach and got free dining, we would save almost $800 for our family of 4.
Does that seem possible?? I know we will be getting free dining, but we will also get upgrading from a value to a mod. Do you think someone forgot to carry the 1 or something, or does that seem right? If we could save that much, I'd switch in a New York minute!!! |
POR was just upgraded..so was CSR. I really liked the new CSR..pretty but my DD liked the very subtle Princess and the Frog theme in POR mansions. I think it was just finished this spring
There are suites in AoA, but we are in the Little Mermaid rooms. The suites are EVEN MORE than the rooms! lol |
I did stay at CSR in 2011 (upgraded from POP to CSR get DDP as opposed to QSDP) and we were very happy with it. |

Murray River
Murray River
Principal river of Australia. Rising near Mount Kosciusko, in southeastern New South Wales, it flows across southeastern Australia from the Snowy Mountains to the Great Australian Bight of the Indian Ocean; it is 1,609 mi (2,589 km) long. It forms the boundary between Victoria and New South Wales and then turns south and flows into Encounter Bay through Lake Alexandrina. River shipping was important in the 19th century, but navigation practically ceased with growing competition from railways and the demand for irrigation water. The river valley is of great economic importance, fostering the production of grains, fruit, and wine as well as cattle and sheep raising.

Rush Enterprises, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results
- Company reports net income of $5.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share
- Second quarter absorption rate of 104.3%
- Acquisition of Lake City International completed; new Navistar division formed
- Definitive agreement signed to sell John Deere construction equipment business
SAN ANTONIO, July 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rush Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq:RUSHA) (Nasdaq:RUSHB), which operates the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in North America and two John Deere construction equipment dealerships in Southeast Texas, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
In the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company's gross revenues from continuing operations totaled $329.8 million, a 9.0% increase from gross revenues from continuing operations of $302.6 million reported for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $5.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with loss from continuing operations of $1.7 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company reported net income for the quarter of $5.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.5 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company incurred a $4.9 million pre-tax impairment charge, which equated to a net loss of ($0.08) per diluted share, related to General Motors Corporation's decision to stop manufacturing medium-duty trucks and wind-down of the Company's GMC Medium-Duty Truck Dealership Agreements.
On June 18, 2010, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to sell the assets of its John Deere construction equipment business, including its Rush Equipment Centers in Houston and Beaumont, Texas, to Doggett Heavy Machinery Services, LLC. The purchase price for the Rush Equipment Centers is estimated to be approximately $37.0 million for assets and goodwill. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010. As a result of this announcement, the results of the Company's construction equipment business are being reported as income from discontinued operations. The construction equipment business recorded income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.3 million ($0.01 per diluted share) during the second quarter of 2010, compared to $0.2 million ($0.01 per diluted share) during the second quarter of 2009.

Beacon is Bel Air's ministry to the entertainment and media industries, and they partnered with the Hollywood Prayer Network, The Greenhouse, The 168 Film Project, and Christian Women in Media to host the event. More than 1,000 people showed up to see the Oscars, discuss the films, and have a really fun night. We even had a huge contest to see who could predict the winners. The question is – Why should churches host Oscar parties? Read the full article »
Are You an Idea Person or a Make it Happen Person?
Whenever I'm at a Hollywood party I meet plenty of "idea" people. Apparently, some people actually think that's a job. I'm a big fan of ideas, and I've spent my career working in a creative business. But as great and rare as real creativity is, that's only half of the puzzle. The other part – and it's just as important – is Read the full article »
Should we Boycott, Protest, or Engage Secular Culture?
Karen Covell, Director of the Hollywood Prayer Network had an interesting conversation with an employee of a major ministry regarding their position on boycotting the entertainment industry. Karen, (like most of us Christians in the entertainment business) prefer to think of boycotts as a completely last resort. It raises plenty of money for fundraising campaigns, but as a strategy to change the culture, it simply rarely works.
But Karen responded to this ministry with such a clear and direct explanation of her position, I thought it worth posting. With Karen's permission, here's her letter: Read the full article »
Ten Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me In College
College was a wonderful experience for me. It literally transformed my life. In those days, I was a film and television major, but I'm sad to say, that was the only area my university failed me. Professors teach you knowledge about your field, but they don't often teach about the relational or practical issues of your field. So after more than three decades working as a professional in the media, and living out what I majored in college, here's the ten things I wish I'd known back then that would have made a dramatic difference in my career: Read the full article »
Warning Signs That You're Petty and Insecure
Proverbs 18:2 says: "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion." Maybe you know a few people like that. I work in the media business, so I deal with petty and insecure people all the time. What drives me crazy is how they suck the life out of their team. They're so obsessed with being in charge (and getting credit) even to the point of being willing to drive the organization into the ground. So if you're wondering if that might be you – or someone you work with – here's a handy chart to help you identify the petty and insecure people in your office: Read the full article »

Stroke feedback please
I recorded some backhands and volleys that I would like some feedback on. I would like to note that in general I frame a lot of my volleys.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NeOTQp5Kl0 backhands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtGN0QQ_ujc volleys |
Looks like you have decent hands, but you need to utilize some better footwork on your volleys. Notice that on most of your volleys you are shuffling your feet and then moving away from the ball, when you should be stepping in. It's like you are doing the opposite of what you're supposed to be doing. On many of the forehand volleys, rather than taking a step in with your left foot, you were taking a step back with your right.
On the bh it looks like you're pushing the racquet with your left hand and not really getting any whip from your shoulder turn. I'd say in general to loosen up your wrists a bit, let your shoulders drive the butt of the racquet into the ball, and then allow the racquet to come around.
Watch Agassi do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql5xVpACt1Y |
Volley vid...
Get out of that shadow. You are not seeing the ball completely, and lose sight half way to your racket. Solidify your stance, quit jumping around for no reason. Sometimes, you block body shots moving the wrong foot. Right hip pocket shots, you move your LEFT foot sideways, not your right so your feet are close together. You want a WIDER stance, not a narrower stance. Strange as it seems, your volley stroke on both sides is TOO SHORT. Backswing is fine, but you need to followthru at least another 18" on every volley, and especially backhand volleys. Try to turn your shoulders to a more closed position on each volley, especially backhand volleys. |
2nd RKelly's suggestions.
Your 2hbh is too short and too steep a swingpath. Stroke thru the ball. |

US Runs A 4th Straight $1 Trillion-plus Budget Gap
Many private forecasters are less optimistic about the deficit. Analysts at JPMorgan foresee a $1 trillion budget gap for 2013. That would mark a fifth straight year of deficits of at least $1 trillion.
All that assumes the country avoids tax increases and deep spending cuts that take effect next year unless Congress reaches a budget deal.
â¿¿ THE THREAT
Over time, big government debts can damage the economy. The economists Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University and Carmen Reinhart of the Peterson Institute for International Economics have found that growth tends to slow sharply once national government debt reaches 90 percent of GDP.
When the government borrows heavily, it can drive up interest rates and divert financing that would have been available for private companies. Rising debt levels can cause some investors to lose confidence in the government's ability to pay its bills. They would demand substantially higher interest rates. Higher rates would discourage businesses and consumers from borrowing, thereby slowing the economy. The government would collect less in taxes and spend more on unemployment benefits and other social programs. That creates a vicious cycle like the one that has entrapped European countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece; Rates are rising, economies buckling, budget deficits widening and debts swelling. So far, that hasn't happened to the United States. Investors, worried about the troubles in Europe, have been eager to buy Treasury debt, allowing the federal government to borrow at historically low rates. â¿¿ THE FIX: If he's elected to a second term, Obama has pledged to reduce the government's deficits over the next 10 years by about $4 trillion. Obama says he would reduce the growth of federal spending â¿¿ slowly, to avoid triggering another recession. He also wants to end the Bush-era tax cuts on income that exceeds $200,000 people for single taxpayers and $250,000 for couples.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Brooklyn Bridge Forever: A Monument in Stone and Steel. A lecture by John B. Manbeck.
With Brooklyn almost surrounded by water, escape to Manhattan became an early priority. While settlers dreamed of bridges, such as the fantasy Rainbow Bridge, ferries proved more practical. Until John Roebling, an engineer, appeared. After years of practice on aqueducts and bridges - Cincinnati and Niagara - he planned a perfect bridge to cross the East River. When death took him, his son, Washington, assumed the responsibility, assisted by his wife after he became injured. In 1883, a stone and steel work of art opened to the public, allowing rapid transportation between Brooklyn and New York. While New York alters itself daily, the Brooklyn Bridge has stood against time, a fitting memorial to the Roebling family.
This presentation will map the development and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and show how 19th century pioneers overcame natural hindrances to create a work of art, "The Eighth Wonder of the Modern World." What problems did the Roeblings face and why did the construction take over 10 years longer than anticipated? What does a "hand-made bridge" offer contemporary New Yorkers? The talk will be illustrated with a Power Point presentation taken from archival and contemporary sources.
A grant program of the New York Humanities Council. Through this program, the Council distributes federal funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities directly to notable projects created by museums, libraries, historical societies, and other cultural and educational organizations.

I replaced a plastic stand laundry sink with one with a cabinet and counter top.
The new sink sticks out more and sits higher than the old one. the p-trap sits about 2 inches closer to the wall and does not meet the drain of the new sink. I plan on buying an extension pipe for once I get the p-trap to line up but how do I get the p-trap to line up with the sink drain? Do they make a flex drain pipe that I can attach to the drain and then to the p-trap?
Thanks in advance!!! |

you just use longer tail pieces and j arms(i think that is the term the part that goes to teh wall.) cut to the length required. i have never been a fan of the flex tail pieces, they clog easily in my experience, especially if you really flex them cockeyed. |
Thanks for the reply! |
I was able to buy a longer j-arm. The plumber had installed the compression plastic nut for the original j-arm in a place that was impossible to access it. I cut the original j-arm and used a coupler. I then connected the new longer j-arm and the p-trap and it lined up. Thanks! |
- Posted by lazypup (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Sep 10, 08 at 19:36
I only see one small problem with that solution; it is expressly PROHIBITED BY CODE. "Maximum of one (1) slip joint on the outlet side of a trap." The one slip joint that is permitted is the trap adapter that makes the transition from the P-trap tubing to the waste arm pipe. Ref: In an instance where the trap does not reach to the waste arm the correct solution remove the existing trap adapter and extend the waste arm. |
Maybe I have my terminology wrong. I bought a longer waste arm to extend it. Is the coupler the problem? So to make it code, I will have to find a way to access that one compression nut that held the original waste arm pipe? That means I will have to knock out some of my foundation to get to it. I can not believe it passed code the way the original plumber did it. He buried the compression nut that holds the waste arm in brick and mortar. Just a small section is exposed. I can go into the crawl space and cut the waste line where it is glued and start over. I still will have to knock out some of the foundation brick to even get the pipe and nut out but maybe not as much. Thanks for the heads up. |
What kind of coupler did you use? It doesn't sound like the original trap arm was installed correctly. |
A friend of mine invented,patented and manufactured waste arms with 22.5 and 45 degree right and left offsets available in two lengths in each offset. They are UPC approved and stamped. He has not started marketing them yet. They are 17 ga. chrome. |
would your friend be willing to let me try a couple? they would seem to work in my situation. |
The Pipes are available from Innovateproducts.com. He would not have the time to ship it to you,but there is a list of dealers on the website. Hope that helps Joe |

Employers today face expanding and complex employment legislation as well as a growing body of regulatory requirements that govern the employment relationship. Lawsuits brought by employees also are steadily rising, as are enforcement actions and audits by government agencies responsible for enforcing employment laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. In this environment, employers need experienced legal counsel capable of providing sound advice and strategies for avoiding liability. The attorneys in our Employment Law Practice Group have experience across the range of employment laws and routinely advise a diverse group of employers ranging from sole proprietors to multistate corporations across a wide range of industries. These industries include financial services, construction, mining, food service, hospitality, transportation, software, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and many others. Our attorneys believe that it is important to gain a thorough understanding of the client's industry and individual business operations so they can provide advice that is not only legally sound, but also operationally and practically sound. We value close relationships with our clients and foster regular meaningful communication on employment law matters, because the best defense to a legal claim and its related costs is to avoid the claim in the first place. To that end, our attorneys work closely with our clients to establish practical and useful employment policies, advise clients on the day to day implementation of policy and employment laws, and regularly assist clients through difficult situations involving disciplinary action, termination, employee counseling, employee violence, privacy, disability and religious accommodation, internal complaints of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and other complex issues. If a claim cannot be avoided through careful planning, our attorneys help position employers in a strong defensible position in preparation for litigation. We have considerable experience litigating employment claims before government agencies and in state and federal courts and are therefore able to work with and defend our clients beginning with initial advice and counsel about an employment issue, through trial and, if necessary, appeal. Because Poyner Spruill LLP is a full service law firm, our employment law attorneys have immediate access to attorneys in many other practice areas in which our clients may have needs, including employee benefits, financial services, taxation, environment and land use, government relations, healthcare, corporate, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, and privacy.
The representative experience of our employment law attorneys includes the following:Management training. Our attorneys provide training to supervisors on employment law topics such as workplace harassment, discrimination, retaliation, accommodating disabilities, procedures for ensuring compliance with the FMLA , discipline, termination, and investigation of employee complaints and misconduct.
Drafting executive and other employment contracts. This includes non-competition and other restrictive covenants designed to protect an employer's trade and competitive interests. We work closely with our employee benefits attorneys in designing executive compensation packages that comply with increasingly complex tax laws.
Reductions in force. In today's economy, many employers are finding it necessary to reduce employee numbers in order to survive. Our attorneys are experienced in designing selection criteria and procedures for reductions in force that are sound and defensible in the event claims arise out of terminations. They also provide assistance with severance and other exit incentive programs that decrease exposure to liability following a reduction in force.
Classifying employees and contractors. Government agencies are increasing their scrutiny of employer classifications of independent contractors as well as classifications of employees who are exempt from overtime laws. Our attorneys routinely advise and assist employers in making these classification decisions and analyzing the risks involved. Wage and hour lawsuits by employees who have been classified as exempt from overtime requirements are on the rise and could expose an employer to substantial financial loss. Our attorneys help our clients properly classify their employees to avoid this risk.
Affirmative Action and OFCCP Audits. Our attorneys assist government contractors in developing affirmative action plans. Like other federal agencies, the OFCCP is increasing its enforcement activity, including the number of its audits and onsite investigations of government contractors. Our attorneys guide clients through this process and work directly with OFCCP's investigators to minimize disruption of our clients' business and exposure to financial risk.
ERISA benefits litigation. Our attorneys have defended individual and class action litigation involving benefit claims, breaches of fiduciary duty, and claims of interference with benefit rights.
Representation before administrative agencies. Our attorneys routinely represent clients before state and federal investigative and law enforcement agencies across the country, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and state level counterparts and state and federal departments of labor.
Litigation in state and federal court. Our attorneys are experienced litigators. They frequently appear and defend our clients in state and federal courts in claims alleging age, race, sex, and religious discrimination, disability discrimination, workers' compensation retaliation, FMLA violations, wage and hour violations, wrongful termination, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and other employment law claims.
Class action litigation. Class action litigation against employers is on the rise across the country. Our attorneys have the skill, experience and resources to defend against employee class action lawsuits, which are far more complex and demanding than single plaintiff cases.
Immigration. In light of aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity, our attorneys help to ensure that clients employ a legal workforce, by assisting clients in complying with employment authorization verifications through proper I-9 practices. Our attorneys also help clients sponsor prospective employees for both nonimmigrant visas and green cards, also assisting with more temporary workforce requirements under the H-2 programs.
Privacy. The global workforce is increasingly using mobile devices for business purposes (including personal devices that mix personal and business use), location tracking-enabled portable electronics, and social media, all with significant privacy and security repercussions for employers. Employers also tend to collect and store a greater volume of information about employees, some of which will be subject to privacy and security requirements. As a result, employers increasingly face enhanced risks and greater compliance obligations with respect to privacy and security. Our attorneys handle employment-related privacy matters ranging from international data transfers to HIPAA compliance to data breach readiness and response. As both public and private enforcement activity increases, our attorneys can advise you on your organization's risks and obligations with regard to its workforce and workplace. You can read more about our firm's privacy and information security work here.
