Aerial view of 132 Dingens Street before cleanup
The public is invited to comment on a draft work plan being reviewed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to investigate 132 Dingens St. Site ("site") located at 132-136 Dingens Street, Buffalo, Erie County. Please see the map for site location. Documents related to the cleanup of this site can be found at the location identified below under Where to Find Information.
Draft Investigation/IRM Work Plan
The draft investigation/IRM work plan, called a "Remedial Investigation/- Interim Remedial Measures Work Plan," was submitted to DEC under New York's Brownfield Cleanup Program. The investigation and IRM will be performed by 132 Dingens St, LLC ("applicant") with oversight by DEC and the New York State Department of Health (DOH). The investigation will assess conditions on-site.
How to Comment
132 Dingens Street before cleanup - burnt warehouse
DEC is accepting written comments about the draft investigation work plan for 30 days, from July 10, 2012 through August 10, 2012. The proposed plan is available for review at the location identified below under Where to Find Information. Please submit comments to the project manager listed under Project Related Questions in the Who to Contact area below.
Draft Interim Remedial Measure Work Plan
An IRM is a cleanup activity that may be performed when a source of contamination or exposure pathway (the way in which a person may contact contamination) can be effectively addressed without extensive investigation and evaluation
The draft IRM work plan identifies cleanup activities that include:
- Site Clearing and Removal of old equipment and Misc. Debris
- Excavation and off-site Disposal of Contaminated Soils
- Backfilling excavated areas with clean materials/soils
Highlights of the Proposed Site Investigation
132 Dingens Street before cleanup - illegal dumping and tire piles
The site investigation has several goals:
- Define the nature and extent of contamination in soil, surface water, groundwater and any other parts of the environment that may be affected;
- Identify the source(s) of the contamination;
- Assess the impact of the contamination on public health and the environment; and
- Provide information to support the development of a proposed remedy to address the contamination.
By the Numbers:
100% - area to be remediated
85,000 sq. ft. - area of burned warehouse
30 days - length of public comment period for Draft Investigation /IRM Work Plan
45 days - length of public comment period for Remedial Work Plan
13 acres - area of site
5 - # of illegally dumped tire piles on the site
2 - # of years site has sat vacant
~1 - # of years to cleanup site
132 Dingens Street before cleanup - sub-basement in refrigeration building
1917 - 1966
When contamination occurred, site owned by fuel service company
Site operated as food distribution warehouse
Warehouse constructed
Fire destroys warehouse
Spring: Debris cleared from warehouse fire
June: DEC signed Brownfield Cleanup Agreement (BCA) for this site
July: clearing drums, etc.
Summer: Building interior improvement
Summer/Fall: RI
Winter/Spring: IRM, contaminated soil removal
Summer: SMP
Fall: Exterior development/new building addition using the old, solid foundation
Next Steps
132 Dingens Street before cleanup - burnt warehouse
DEC will consider public comments, revise the plan as necessary, and approve the work plan. DOH must concur with the plan. The approved work plan will be made available to the public (see Where to Find Information below). After the work plan is approved, the activities detailed in the work plan will be implemented.
When the investigation is completed, a report will be prepared and submitted to the DEC that summarizes the results. DEC will review the report, make any necessary revisions and, if appropriate, approve the report.
After the investigation, a cleanup plan, called a "Remedial Work Plan" will be developed and a Decision Document will be proposed. The cleanup plan will include an evaluation of the proposed site remedy, or recommend a no action or no further action alternative. The goal of the cleanup plan is to ensure the protection of public health and the environment. DEC will present the proposed cleanup plan to the public for its review and comment during a 45 day comment period. DEC will keep the public informed throughout the investigation and cleanup of the site.
This site is located at 132-136 Dingens Street in the City of Buffalo. The site borders with UPS terminal and Buffalo Games to the north, Dingens Street to the south, Family Service Center to the southwest, Buffalo News warehouse and FPPF chemical company to the west, and Niagara Tying Service to the east.
Site Features:
This 13 acre irregular shaped site contains an old refrigeration building and the remnants of the burnt warehouse building (concrete floors and steel) which was destroyed by a fire in 2010. Currently the site is vacant, and is completely fenced in, and is cluttered with tires and miscellaneous materials.
Current Zoning/Use:
The site is zoned for industrial use.
Surrounding Land Use:
This site is next to the New Buffalo Industrial Park complex. The general land use of the surrounding properties is commercial and industrial.
Historical Uses:
In early 1900s, the area was covered with railroad tracks. From early 1930s to 1966, the site was used by Mali's Fuel Service for its fuel oil equipment construction and service business. In 1966, the property was purchased by Niagara Frontier Service/Tops Market. The Tops Market constructed a 102,260 square feet warehouse building and a refrigeration building to store perishable foods. The refrigeration building contained ammonia tanks and was connected to the warehouse by a 5' 4" diameter tunnel. In 1996, Tops Market moved out. Later, the property was used by Superior Pallet for recycling, refurbishing, and shredding wood pallets and by Umbra for warehousing and distribution of small waste basket containers. In 2006, AMS Ventures LLC took over the property. Dating back to 1930s, there had been several above ground and underground petroleum storage tanks (USTs) and transformers at the site. In 1987, a spill (# 8707625) was reported due to leaking USTs containing diesel fuel. That spill was closed in 1991.
Site Investigations:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments were conducted by Acres International in 1997 and KayVer Group in 2004. Barron & Associates performed a Phase II Investigation in 2004. Barron's investigation included magnetometer survey, soil borings, and test pits across the site.
Iyer Environmental Group (IEG) conducted a Supplemental Phase II Site Assessment in January 2012. During this phase of investigation, IEG collected samples of sub-surface soil, surface water from the tunnel, drums, and transformers. The sub-surface soil samples were tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and metals. Contamination in soils was found above the commercial and industrial cleanup levels for some SVOCs (predominantly polycyclic hydrocarbons or PAHs) and metals (such as arsenic, copper and lead). No groundwater data was collected during IEG's investigation.
Site Geology and Hydrogeology:
The site is generally underlain by industrial fill materials (such as slag, cinders, ash, brick, glass, metal, and wood) which is intermixed with earthen fill (such as sand, gravel, silt and clay). The fill overlays natural clays and silts. Groundwater is estimated at approx. 20 feet below ground surface (bgs). The bedrock consists of Onondaga Limestone and is approximately 30 - 35 feet bgs. The local groundwater flow is generally to the south.
Additional site details, including environmental and health assessment summaries, are available on DEC's website.

@summertime, the problem you describe with having static systems trying to grab an IP address that has already been served by the DHCP device is a fairly easy fix.
If the dynamic machine is running a Microsoft Windows operating system then one could simply hit "repair connection" in the network adapter dialog box.
This will seek for a new IP address from the DHCP server and allow the static machine to properly take its rightful address.
My suggestion of course is to simply set all of your machines to a static address and create a table or spreadsheet with the routing information.

[Windows] Capture and record streaming audio, sound from videos, and all sound played through your speakers with Audio Record Wizard
Posted By dotTech Staff On January 25, 2013 @ 12:00 AM In Windows | 8 Comments
[1]Do you want to record sounds from your computer? I am not talking about just recording music from YouTube videos. I am talking about capturing music and sounds from Pandora, LastFM or any other site. As long as it is playing through your soundcard, you can capture the music. This is all possible now thanks to Audio Record Wizard!
Main Functionality
Audio Record Wizard is a program that allows you to capture any sounds that are playing through your soundcard. So, if you can hear it coming through your speakers, this program can record it. It doesn't matter the site, program, etc. This program can record it all and do it with near-perfect quality.
[2]There are not many programs that I like which require you to pay for them. However, Audio Record Wizard is one of them. It is easy to use and does a great job recording sounds that are playing on your computer. No longer do you need to download music from a site, rip music from a YouTube video, etc. This program will easily record whatever sounds are being played on your computer.
The way the program works is simple. It simply records what is being played on your sound card. So for the most part, if you can hear it coming through your speakers, this program can record it. That means that there is no limit to where you can download music from. Want music from LastFM or Pandora? No problem! Want to pull music from a video, like on sites such as YouTube? You can do that too!
Audio Record Wizard also comes with a lot of features you can set up as well. For example, you can have the program stop recording after a certain amount of time or after the song reaches a certain size. You can also choose which kind of output audio you want your recording to be. Heck, you can even set up custom hotkeys to tell the program when to start and stop recording.
There is only one thing to remember. This program picks up ALL sounds played on your computer. For example, I was recording a sound from an audio file I have saved on my computer. During recording, my computer let me know that the battery was running low with a beep, telling me to plug it in. At the time, I didn't think much about it…until I went to listen to my recording. Sure enough, the beep my computer made was picked up in the recording.
Overall, this is an excellent program and it is one of the few programs I have reviewed that I think is actually worth the money. If you like listening to music or want to download virtually any sound you hear coming from your computer (from any video or website), this is the best way to do it. Best of all, you can download a trial of the program before you actually buy it, and I feel that $25 is a pretty good price point for this one.
If you are looking for a free solution to record streaming audio or any sound heard from your computer, there are a few freeware programs out there. For example, both MP3 My Mp3 Recorder [3] and Freecorder [4] are freeware and allow you to record any and all sound that comes from your computer, just like Audio Record Wizard. However, there are reports of both programs either including malware or having bundled crapware that is more or less malware. (I say reported because, after reading the reports, I didn't bother downloading either one of them. It just isn't worth it.) So I'd suggest staying away from them unless you can confirm they are clean. Audacity [5] is another freeware program that allows users to record audio from your computer (and Audacity is completely clean). The issue, however, is setting up Audacity to record audio from your computer [6] is a bit of a pain and I couldn't get it to work.

If you go to a shop, and the evods are £5-6, that's not too bad...but ask if they are made by Kanger.
The "copy" evods cost 70p - £1.50 from China. They are mostly **** (poo).
You might get lucky, but normally, what happens is a shop sells you 3 and some replacement heads for £2 each as well. You've then spent £25 on something you could probably buy for a tenner.
There is a Staffordshire chap on here, he knows the shops.

Kore Hardware and Your Rig, with Help from SketchUp
by Eoin Rossney
After moving into a new apartment and being lucky enough to get a (semi) dedicated studio room, I'm finally getting around to rethinking my studio ergonomics. While my Kore 1 hardware doesn't really get in the way, I find that there are actually several different spots I'd like to have it in depending on what it's being used for.
In my current setup, with my 88-key controller perpendicular to my desk, the Kore controller sits at the corner of that L-shape on a collapsible tripod shelf. It's fine until I need to spend some time editing user pages for example… then the constant reaching becomes a pain.
My solution will involve placing the keyboard between me and the monitors, with Kore somewhere close to hand – but which slice of the precious desktop real-estate to use? At the moment I'm thinking of mounting a desk arm with a shelf like the Lindy Notebook-Arm or the slicker Rode PSA-1 (with some sort of shelf attachment of course), but I'm interested in hearing what our readers think. Have you found the perfect way to slot Kore into your rig?
Help is at hand
If you want to try out reshuffling your hardware but don't fancy hassle the hassle of rewiring, here's something that might help. I've been a fan of the free Google Sketchup since I made some attempts at a controller for Live, and recently turned to it again to help with my studio redesign.
This mainly involves designing and building a new desk, and although the desk isn't yet finished I thought I'd share with you the mockup I made of my Kore 1 interface. It's not an exact copy but most of the measurements are accurate to within ~1mm, which should help you judge placement pretty well.
I don't have the Kore 2 controller so couldn't make a version of that, although if anyone wants to have a go it shouldn't be too difficult to modify my file to get the results you're after.
Sketchup is highly recommended – aside from being very satisying to use, it makes trying out different studio layouts far easier and quicker. Once you've put in some time recreating your main pieces of gear, you can rearrange them any way and as often as you want, with millimetre precision.

SummreHairGreyNormal HairOdd, Bad DesignThe accompanying booklet directs the user to clear the lint off the screens regularly. However, there is no way to access the inner screen, so the lint is impossible to remove. The suggestion to vacuum it is pointless, since the lint is merely sucked to the back of the top screen. Too much lint buildup causes the hairdryer to run very hot, which doesn't seem at all safe. I will be more selective in choosing a hairdryer next time. I will probably replace this one soon.posted May 28, 2013Link to this post

The Test Apps for Viewing Custom Filters allow you to cycle through a number of different custom effects (including PsychedelicEffect) and apply them to the real-time camera preview or a static image.
In addition, the custom effect file can be dropped into your own project, and used as described in the section Using the filter.
- Read the Core concepts (Nokia Developer Library)
- Read the article Custom Filter QuickStart for Nokia Imaging SDK to understand the general requirements on Custom Effects.

The PsychedelicEffect class runs around 13-14 FPS (Frames Per Second) depending on your factor choice.
Code walkthrough
This effect was created accidentally. I was working through the BrightnessEffect technique and wasn't handling the data type casting correctly (or even the correct brightness calculation for that matter).
// Original accidental code
red = Math.Max(0, Math.Min(255, (uint)(int)(red - m_factor)));
green = Math.Max(0, Math.Min(255, (uint)(int)(green - m_factor)));
blue = Math.Max(0, Math.Min(255, (uint)(int)(blue - m_factor)));
The above code doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and isn't terribly efficient, but it still produced a fun look, which looks especially wild through a realtime camera feed. I ended up rewriting it below, which is more efficient, and easier to understand what's actually happening.
// Max out any color component that falls below zero when subtracting the passed
// in m_factor value; otherwise just subtract the m_factor value from it.
red = (red < m_factor ? 255 : red - m_factor);
green = (green < m_factor ? 255 : green - m_factor);
blue = (blue < m_factor ? 255 : blue - m_factor);
Note: If you pair up the PsychedelicEffect with the inbuilt WarpFilter of the Nokia Imaging SDK, you'll start to see just how much fun it can be.
Using the filter
Drop an image control into your XAML.
<Image x:Name="FilterEffectImage" Width="800" Height="480" Stretch="Fill" Grid.RowSpan="2" />
Use this code to apply the filter effect to your chosen image and assign it to the XAML image control.
// Initialize a WriteableBitmap with the dimensions of the XAML image control
WriteableBitmap writeableBitmap = new WriteableBitmap((int)FilterEffectImage.Width, (int)FilterEffectImage.Height);
// Example: Accessing an image stream within a standard photo chooser task callback
// http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh394019(v=vs.105).aspx
//using (var imageStream = new StreamImageSource(e.ChosenPhoto))
// Example: Accessing an image stream from a sample picture loaded with the project in a folder called "Pictures"
var resource = App.GetResourceStream(new Uri(string.Concat("Pictures/", "sample_photo_08.jpg"), UriKind.Relative));
using (var imageStream = new StreamImageSource(resource.Stream))
// Applying the inbuilt warp filter and the custom effect to the image stream
IImageProvider imageEffect = new FilterEffect(imageStream)
Filters = new List<IFilter>() { new WarpFilter(WarpEffect.Twister, 0.50) }
using (var customEffect = new PsychedelicEffect(imageEffect, 50))
// Rendering the resulting image to a WriteableBitmap
using (var renderer = new WriteableBitmapRenderer(customEffect, writeableBitmap))
// Applying the WriteableBitmap to our xaml image control
FilterEffectImage.Source = await renderer.RenderAsync();
The code has been released with the standard MIT License, and can be viewed in the Github project here.
Hopefully you've enjoyed seeing a fun and wild thing you can do with your images. This is just one of many things you can do with the amazing Nokia Imaging SDK.
As with all articles on the wiki, you are welcome to contribute any changes to this code that would improve the quality, whether it be additional features or improving its efficiency.

13 All of you must yield to the government rulers. No one rules unless God has given him the power to rule, and no one rules now without that power from God.2 So those who are against the government are really against what God has commanded. And they will bring punishment on themselves. 3 Those who do right do not have to fear the rulers; only those who do wrong fear them. Do you want to be unafraid of the rulers? Then do what is right, and they will praise you. 4 The ruler is God's servant to help you. But if you do wrong, then be afraid. He has the power to punish; he is God's servant to punish those who do wrong. 5 So you must yield to the government, not only because you might be punished, but because you know it is right.
6 This is also why you pay taxes. Rulers are working for God and give their time to their work.
Why do these weird topics always seem to come up when I have a raging headache? Maybe I should just lay off Facebook for a while. People point out things I'd rather just ignore at times.
We should examine the above passage with a clear mind, rather than giving in to flights of fancy. It clearly says:
- We all must yield to the civil government.
- God has given the government the right to rule.
- To go against the government is to oppose God.
- If we are punished for rebellion, then it is our own fault. A ruler has the power of the sword to enforce his rule.
- Those who do not rebel have nothing to fear.
- It is right to yield to the government.
- Even money, in the form of taxes, that is claimed by the government should be turned over to them.
There is only one loophole.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
~ Ac 5:29
When there is a conflict, we need to obey God. However, we had be certain that there really is a conflict to begin with and that it isn't just our imagination!
Jesus also made a statement about taxes.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Now, we in the US don't have Caesar's imprint upon the money, but when I look at a bill, it clearly has "United Stats of America" written upon it.
You know what all this tells me? At minimum, it tells me that a sovereign country has the right to tell people what is and is not taxable. A nation has the right to dictate who has to pay taxes and who does not.
In addition, if a country wants to allow their citizens to apply for certain exemptions, it has the right to do so. Who in their right mind would not take exemptions if they can claim five dependents? That would not be showing good use of God's blessings. Jesus gave many parables using money as an example of good stewardship, so doesn't it make sense that being a Christian demands using money as wisely as possible?
Tax exemptions and deductions are given for a reason. They are to encourage the funneling of monies to certain types of works. In these days of big government, it may sound odd to say that these donations to private organizations often reduce the expense that the federal government would have to otherwise expend. It is an implicit acknowledgement that government is not very efficient at certain things.
They also do something else, however. They encourage more giving. It isn't likely that someone will choose to give or not give according to tax deductions, but it often will have effect upon how much. If they can give more to an organization that needs it and also pay less taxes, then everyone wins.
However, there are those who will say that it somehow affects the message. To someone who has a deep rooted distrust of the civil government, any involvement of government in religious affairs is suspect. They claim that it is effectively handing over power to the government.
Power for what? What power is being handed over? Re-read Romans 13 above, and you'll see that the civil government already has power over a Christian. Since individual Christians make up the Body of Christ, then the civil government has a certain amount of God-given authority over the Church.
What authority doesn't it have? Again, what did we just read? It doesn't have the authority to tell the Church anything that goes against God's commands! That's it!
So, how about some questions? Hopefully, these won't strain you too bad.
- Does a town or city council have a right to zone where a church building can or cannot be built?
- Does a town or city council have a right to restrict the size of meetings in a residential community?
- Does a governmental agency have the right to prohibit religious authorities from making statements that incite riots?
- Does a governmental agency have the right to take some sort of action against church leaders who encourage their members to shout "Fire!" in public theaters?
- Does a governmental agency have the right to tax a religious organization?
- Does a governmental agency have the right to not tax a religious organization?
I hope you can see that a civil government does have the right and obligation to create rules and laws that affect the public order, even over religious institutions.
There is one unique clause in the United States 501(c)(3) code, though, that does get up the back hairs of many who are against government "interference" in religious institutions. It is the restriction of being engaged actively in "politics". However, this objection is downright laughable in its degree of delusion.
5. What political activities are prohibited under the Internal Revenue Code?
Religious organizations, as well as all other organizations exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are prohibited from participating or intervening, directly or indirectly, in a political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for elective public office.7 This prohibition encompasses a wide array of activities. It precludes direct political campaign intervention, including the making of statements, whether oral, written or in an electronic medium, supporting or opposing any candidate, political party or political action committee ("PAC"); creating a PAC;8 rating candidates;9 and providing or soliciting financial support (including loans10 or loan guarantees) or in-kind support for any candidate, political party or PAC. It also precludes indirect political campaign intervention of a sort that reflects bias for or against any candidate, political party or PAC, such as distributing biased voter education materials or conducting a biased candidate forum or voter registration drive.
6. Must religious organizations restrict their discussion of issues during election campaign periods?
No. The political campaign intervention prohibition does not restrict discussions of issues that are not linked to support for or opposition to candidates. The fact that candidates may align themselves on one side or another of an issue does not restrict the ability of religious organizations to engage in discussions of that issue.11 That said, a religious organization may nonetheless violate the political campaign intervention prohibition if it communicates preferences for or against particular candidates as part of its issue discussions.
~ Pew Forum, "Preaching Politics From the Pulpit"
In reality, there have been cases where obvious references have been made about candidates without naming them by names and tying them to abortion or other issues, and yet the IRS refused to go after even these obvious cases.
The fact of the matter is that there is no restriction on discussing issues such as abortion, same-sex "marriage", gays serving openly in the military, whether or not we live in a welfare state, etc.
Now, let me state plainly that it could come to that one day. However, at least in the US, that day is not here yet. However, my hunch is that it will have a lot less to do with whether or not an organization is a 501(c)(3) exempt organization or not. Rather, all we have to do is look at Britain and Canada for some disturbing trends in how some have been prosecuted for "hate crimes" for being bold enough to speak out against homosexuality.
You want to know what is particularly loathsome about such discussions, though? The grumblings are never about no fault divorce, single parent moms in ghettos or chastity before marriage, all issues involving the value of family. No, the grumbling and complaining is always about pet sins that are specifically chosen and singled out.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
In reality, is one sin "greater" than another? On our plane of existence, perhaps. However, from God's viewpoint, it is all sin, and even one unrepentant sin, no matter how "minor" will block you from the Kingdom!
We are to send out a warning message, both to the descendants of ancient Israel and to the world. However, is that a warning message about only particular sins, or should it be about all sins?
In the end, though, who would you rather give your money to? Someone who has the foresight to be good stewards and allow you to be good stewards of the money God has blessed you with, or someone who only wants to pick and choose favorite sins to rant and rave about? Someone who has gone to the trouble of becoming legal in the country they are in, and therefore are accountable on some level to the civil authorities, or a maverick who may or may not stay within the limits of the law, which could mean outright rebellion towards God and man?
It's your money. You decide.
I'll leave you with Wallace Smith's words near the end of his article "Follow up to "501(c)(3) and Herbert W. Armstrong'" on Thoughts En Route:
But Christ gave his admonition in Matt. 7:6 about being wary of those who will "turn and rend you" after you try to help them. When someone has been dishonest with you, publicly accused you repeatedly of grievous wrong, ignored all the evidence you researched to try and help them, ignored all the answers you've already provided as if you had said nothing, and ultimately demonstrated that they are so self-deceived that they can see none of this for themselves, what is left for you to do? Like I said in the previous post: shake the dust off of your feet in the manner of Matt. 10:14-15 and let them say what they will.

Removal of gold plate/wash from sterling silver jewelry
I have previously worked in the steel industry as a purchasing agent with a basic knowledge of metallurgy but very little knowledge of plating finishes.
My wife has what appears to be a gold plated sterling silver necklace. The item is approximately one-quarter inch wide and is a continuous solid piece bent into a "U" shape. One side is coated in a gold tone. The "wash" (it's not a very thick coating) is beginning to wear off.
I'm looking for a commercially available cleaning solution that will remove the coating from the silver but that won't scratch or mar the underlying silver surface.
I'd appreciate any help or direction in this matter.
Joe WiluszFormer purchasing agent for cold rolled steel strip manufacturer and current consumer - Bloomfield, Connecticut, USA
Wanted to follow up on the question that was asked. Can a gold wash be removed easily and safely from sterling silver jewelry? And if so,what is the process,how long will it take,what is the cost?
- Los Angeles, California
February 25, 2008
I wouldn't remove the gold wash/gold plating if I were you. It will decrease the value of the piece. There really isn't any reason to take it off. I have (accidentally) taken off the gold wash on a piece of sterling silver by simply polishing it with
Wright's Silver Cream.
Once again, don't take the gold wash off. It's supposed to be there
(to protect against corrosive foods/liquids) and it adds value.

Brassowill take it right off. I just learned this myself. Have a gold plated lighter thats nearly as old as I am, want to do the same thing. Frank Hansen- Porter, Texas

I tried the Wright's Silver cream to remove gold plating from sterling silver and it didn't work. I haven't tried the Brasso yet.
Victoria Roberts- Centralia, Missouri, USA

I tried the Brasso on my bracelet and it worked well. It didn't take of all the gold but 90 percent of it and did a much better job than most of the other stuff I tried. Doesn't seem to affect the CZ's at all either, which is good :) Thanks

A Poem for Angel...
Gone too soon, no reason why
and did not get to say goodbye.
Your name was perfect, for you were,
an Angel here on Earth for sure.
Maybe that is why God took you home,
you were not meant so long to roam.
Back to heaven to watch from afar,
God's little perfect Angel star.
I'm so thankful that I got the privilidge to meet this beautiful and sweet girl. She really did have a way of touching your heart, and you just fell in love. Sending love and support to Cathy, James and all your fur family. Rest in peace, until we meet again.
1 comment:
My Angel girl, I miss you so. Tomorrow is your birthday...your first at the bridge. The pain is still so intense sometimes...
Your beautiful Sassy celebrated her mama's birthday with a championship. I'm so glad I still have a little piece of you left. You were the best friend I ever had, and you taught me so much. I will feel blessed forever for the joy of having you in my life. I love you sweetheart...Happy Birthday. - September 18, 2009 at 6:10 PM

Preparing to travel? Don't forget to pack prayer!
Trouble listening? Try updating your Flash player.
There's a lot to think about before you take a trip, says Beverly Goldsmith. But don't forget to bring your spiritual toolkit when you step out the door. Practical preparations like making reservations and packing luggage are important, but "praying on the go" from day one blesses those around you and ultimately keeps your thoughts with God, who has the perfect solution for every situation.
A Christian Science practitioner and teacher, Beverly shares spiritual insights to help ensure safe travel on the water, in the air, at home, and abroad. Using examples from her own world travels, Beverly responds to questions from site visitors about fear of flying, inclement weather, health concerns, and more. Drawing strength, alertness, or joy from your spiritual toolkit can help you move items off your "worry" list and onto your "prayer" list as you prepare for and embark on travels.

It sounds like Rob & Kristen may be walking hand in hand at the 'Breaking Dawn Part 2′ premiere after all!
After shutting Kristen Stewart out for weeks, Rob Pattinson is finally ready to communicate with the woman that shattered his heart.
"They are talking," an insider tells Us Weekly. "Rob doesn't hate her and he's not mad. He just doesn't get why she did it."
Though Rob would have every right to be angry about Kristen's infidelity, we're glad to see that he's taking the high road and trying to forgive her.
"He loves her and thinks about her constantly," reveals the insider.
Keep talking you two!

Yes, i want to see them back together. As beautiful persons with their unique and rare celebrity attitude, i dont want to see each of them being gulped by predators who has no real true love but only want their fame. I wish they would soon be like jen@ben affleck present family life style

I agree they both belong together. I have read that they are back together but keeping it a secret. If he still loves her and is constantly thinking of her does this not mean Rob will forgive her. How can Rob feel like this if he won't forgive her. Obviously if he does feel like this than he will forgive her and so he should. But how does the source know Rob is feeling like this. It really gets me about these sources. Are they someone close to Rob or Kristen. What do they get out of all of this. Do they really care about Rob or Kristen's feelings. What if they are just saying these things to get everyone to comment and than are sitting back laughing about it. Obviously HL believes the source as they don't even investigate to see if the story is true. They just print it because they want to keep the story going. how disgusting. I hope that Rob and Kristen do get back together as that is were they both belong together sooner rather than later. HL STOP REHASHING THESE STORIES. LET THEM GO. FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO WRITE ABOUT. WHY NOT WRITE ABOUT THE FOUNDER OF HL WASN'T HE ARRESTED FOR DOING SOMETHING WRONG. if SO THIS SITE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOREVER. THAN YOU COULD ALL FIND NEW JOBS, BECAUSE YOU ARE CERTAINLY LOUSY AT THIS ONE.

Jackie give it a rest or else you're going to be in a major meltdown. Whatever you have read is just another lie. You know that magazines, gossip sites and the rest of the media outlets love to twist stories and write things that stir the consumers emotions so that they can sell their stuff. Let's face it that Rob and Kristen are done, over, broken up, apart! Got it now Jackie? Not one friend of Rob's or anybody from his camp will dish out details to the press. And Kristen allegedly was with him all this time and was supposed to be hiding out in the hotel in New York while Rob was promoting Cosmopolis? Come on its so not true! There's not one piece of evidence that they are still together all this time and not a single person saw Kristen sneaked into the NY hotel. Surely if she was with Rob in NY Kristen couldn't have gotten in and out of the hotel without being seen as there was a swarm of paparazzi outside the hotel as well as following Rob around. And do you believe they were holed in a beach house in Malibu? That would have been impossible to do especially there's curious eyes everywhere. I could go on and on to disprove what you've read Jackie. Be kind to yourself and accept the fact Rob and Kristen are no longer together.

I just can't believe that he'll easily forgive her,, He shouldn't talk to her, she has cheated on him ,, she doesn't deserve him she doesn't deserve someone like him at all,, she is still my fav actress but not my fav for him anymore ..

They both came out of the "beautiful" gene pool . Ahhh,…youth. If it was a publicity stunt..they fooled me. Of course we want them together…2 young beautiful people that had a spectacular love affair on set in Twilight, a set back, turmoil, maybe a reconciliation….ain't living vicariously through others grand !!!!!

They just fit. There's really no other way to say it, but their chemistry with one another just radiated off them like tons of little "love bubbles". I'm still shocked as heck knowing this happened, but content in a way to know that we don't know the entire story. I don't believe what HL and US say mostly, but I want to believe this. True love just doesn't die. Your heart breaks, but just as an arm breaks or a vase, there's always some way to put the pieces back together. I have faith in these two. I wish them both the best.

I believe that this is all just a publicity stunt. You never know, but them dating could have been just a total publicity stunt as well (if so it worked extremely well). Especially if they get back together before the movie. Many stars do this stuff for publicity so who's to say they aren't?
Posted at 3:13 PM on August 23, 2012
Well, I hope that they would get back together, But its their decision! and we cant say anything about it. On the other hand, they should go together to Breaking dawn premiere, its their movie, and they need all the actor together. It they want to be taken seriously as actors and professional they should put back personal life. Its hard, but its very important. But I know they can do it!!

The only reason you guys want them together because you think there edward and bella and you think that robert is going back with kristen just like edward did when bella kiss jacob and he was still with her come on this is no twilight fantasy this is reality and what kristen and rupert did was bad and i dont think someone can forget about it i mean robert can forgive her but to going back with her no is just hard to start over because she broke the trust he had in her and when thetes no trust in a relationship then it wont work.
I believe they are already back together! My Hope is they do BD2 stuff, then they Elope! & go where ever Rob's next movies take them & Kristen can take time to learn more about behind the Camera stuff as I totally see her Directing/Writing/Producing! Maybe they could even make a (human!) Baby! I KNOW in my Heart Kristen was a Victim of Rupert Sanders', 90% of ALL men ARE Predators, thats why there are so many SEX Crimes. Sorry but you can't argue with Math! Can't wait for Breaking Dawn part 2! (yes, I hv a Son & I Hope & Pray he never goes the way Society says is 'the Norm')
Posted at 1:36 PM on August 23, 2012
Keep talking you two kids, IF THIS REPORT IS TRUE….You both need time. The bottom line is you both love one another to pieces. It will take a BIG person to forgive, I had to once and have never regretted doing so. Life has been blessful since. The secret is it must be a completely NEW start and never bring up the past…..Think positive Rob. And Kristen you keep bettering yourself. You are going thru hell we all know…BUT remember you have thousands who love you both. Mistakes happen to everyone…..praying for you nightly….
To JAN it seems we feel the same.
I know they love each other, I to had to forgive in the past and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me, Best of luck and love to Robert and Kristen….. Sounds stupid but I pray for your relationship to heal and for your happiness you are beautiful together and each of you in his and her own way

If they will be together, their relationship will never be the same.. it's hard to have trust again. When you love from the heart, you can not think, even, to another.. and cheat in the first years of the relationship. Whatever be the further Rob can not protect her from herself .. however, is only an opinion. There was certainly a reason for what happened, something was not complete, enough, between them.

SOUTHINGTON — With business going well for Niles Pierson, co-owner of Paul Gregory's Caterers on Center Street, he will be weighing his options over the next nine months on whether or not he is going to expand his business or create a new building.
Pierson is a tenant in the building, owned by Landmark Properties, and he is working to purchase the property, if all goes well, by next month, he said.
"The business has the potential to grow and economically it makes sense to buy the building from a cash flow perspective," said Pierson. "My landlord has been fair in this process and it has always been in the lease to have right of refusal to buy the property."
With the purchase comes an "opportunity and an obligation," Pierson said.
"The obligation was within four years of purchase to pave the lot," Pierson said.
Pierson has been in the building for nearly four years and his lease is coming to an end.
There is also an opportunity to subdivide the property and construct another building up to 3,000 square feet.
"Whether or not I'll do that, I'm not really sure," Pierson said.
Southington Economic Development Coordinator Lou Perillo said the town purchased 148 Center St. in 2008 for $387,500 and sold it to Landmark Properties for $328,000. Because the town sold it for less, Perillo said a few restrictions were put on the property. One stipulation was that it could no longer be a bar café and the other was the landlord had to create a number of spaces for municipal parking behind the building.
Town regulations require 42 parking spaces for the approximately half-acre site at 148 Center St., but the Parking Authority granted a waiver for 16 spaces as part of an agreement with the town that calls for the owner to pay for construction of the new lot.
At the last Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Pierson asked for an extension on the site work to solicit bids for the paving, since he hasn't closed on the property yet, and to decide what he wants to do with the area.
Town Attorney Mark Sciota said during the commission meeting Sept. 17 that, despite the site plan's stipulation that a municipal parking lot be completed this year, he felt comfortable giving Pierson time. He also mentioned there is no point enforcing the creation of the parking lot now if it might be ripped up with Pierson's plans in the future.
The extension was unanimously granted by the commission and is through June 30, 2014.
Perillo said he hopes to talk to businesses next to Pierson's to see if they would want to create a lot together.
"What we're trying to say is hey look, instead of everyone having their own parking lot, can we achieve a greater number of parcels if people work together," Perillo said.

Tip: T-Mobile USA customers can make unlimited free calls over WiFi
Posted By Ashraf On May 17, 2011 @ 5:49 PM In General Tech | No Comments
[1]Are you a T-Mobile USA customer? You may be able to make unlimited calls over WiFi… for free. Starting 5/13/11 (i.e. last Friday) T-Mobile launched a new feature allowing select customers to make calls over WiFi for absolutely nothing. In other words, as long as you are connected to WiFi and you are making the voice call over the WiFi network, the minutes won't be deducted from your voice plan. Here are the fine details:
Image Credit: JD Hancock [2]
Note not all phones support free WiFi calling. All phones that have T-Mobile's WiFi calling app/feature built-in will allow for free WiFi calling. You must be calling using the WiFi app/feature, otherwise the call will be deducted from your voice plan. Here is a short-list of phones that support WiFi calling:
Other phones may – or may not – allow you to call for free over WiFi if the WiFi calling app/feature is ported to the unsupported phones. This unofficial support has not been confirmed yet, so if you want to try free WiFi calling on unsupported phones be sure to do trial runs to make sure it is working as it should.
In the next few weeks, everyone who is eligible for free WiFi calling (i.e. you have an eligible monthly plan and a supported handset) will be getting text messages from T-Mobile informing them about this new feature. If you are impatient and don't want to wait, you can call T-Mobile's customer care (or chat with them online) and have them add this new feature to your account.
Good luck everyone! Milk this while you can. :-)

Social Forum on Combating Climate Change and Peak Oil
Posted by alangdundee on 5th September 2008
Imagining and creating a just and sustainable society
Saturday 18th October (11-5.30)
Sun 19th October (11-2)
Edinburgh Students Union, Teviot Building
For all who want action not just targets
Key speakers:
- Sian Berry London Mayoral candidate, Green Party
- John MacAllion, Scottish Socialist Party
Workshop Strands will include:
- 1. WHAT are the causes of climate chaos?
- 2. HOW can we reduce carbon emissions fast?
- 3. WHO can change Policy not just light bulbs?
While the Arctic is set to be ice free and absorbing rather than reflecting heat by 2013, scientists argue that this could be just the start of the feedback loops which will drive temperatures higher and potentially drive us to extinction.
People from a range of environmental and political groups (and from none) are meeting to ask: how we can work together to challenge this system of insatiable economic growth that drives greenhouse gas emissions up daily?
If governments won't act to tackle the causes of climate chaos, then how can we create a community based, nationally effective, internationally connected political movement to deal with peak oil and avoid climate chaos?
Come along, learn and share views on the issues that need to be addressed and the action that can be taken.
Organised by activists from Democratic Left Scotland, from the Scottish Green Party and from the Scottish Socialist Party

Every day, masses of spam emails advertising Viagra, Rolex watches or hot investment tips slip into inboxes all around the world.
According to security firm MessageLabs, almost 70 per cent of all email in Australia in August 2008 was spam and we rank in the top 10 list of countries including China, the United States and France with similar volumes of spam.
There's no doubt that spam is a gigantic pain in the e-butt — after all, who wants all those annoying emails clogging up their inbox? However, not all spam is innocuous. Some emails are scams that trick you into disclosing personal information by impersonating banks, entice you with special offers, and urge you to click on a link and divulge your details in a separate website. This type of spam is far more serious — and is known as phishing (which alludes to 'fishing') for personal information.
Please note: this information was current as of December 2008 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, over 5.8 million Australians were exposed to a scam in the 12 months to December 2007. In dollar terms 453,100 victims lost money, which equates to a combined financial loss of almost one billion dollars ($977 million). Approximately 5.7% (or 329,000 people) became victims by responding to a scam and supplying personal information and/or money, or seeking more information.
Scams come in many varieties, such as emails about lottery wins, US Green Card work visa applications or home mortgage applications. And who hasn't heard about the Nigerian banking scam where you make your account available to hold a large sum of money for a generous fee? Phishing emails purporting to be from banks, financial institutions and online payment services tell you to update personal details, warn about an imminent account expiry, or urge you to follow a link to check accounts. These emails try to dupe you into believing that they're from a legitimate organisation about an account or transaction you need to follow up. The email includes a link that is supposed to be the company's website, but instead directs you to a bogus site that will collect your personal information. If it sounds alarming that's because it is — every day, people fall for these simple tricks and give away their vital details. The golden rule for all internet users, novices and experts alike, is to be extremely wary about responding to emails from unfamiliar addresses, people or organisations. As a rule, you should never reveal any personal information to unknown organisations, people or websites.
The good news, however, is that commonsense will go a long way to protecting you from falling victim to the scammers: after all, if you didn't enter a lottery, what's the chance you will have won millions? But, as with many things on the net, it can sometimes be hard to discern what's real and what's fake. And the scammers are constantly trying new and more inventive ways to trick people. The best protection is to arm yourself with the most up-to-date information on what threats are out there and how to avoid them. And so to help you, your family and your friends we've created an easy-to-follow guide to help you recognise the scammers and avoid their traps. The best way to beat the scammers is for all net users to be armed with the right information. After all, knowledge is power. For more information see the Australian government website Stay Smart Online.
3 Mar 2009 | Spam is not only annoying, but also potentially dangerous. Here's how to combat the ever increasing stream of junk.
16 Oct 2008 | If you're always on-the-go and don't want to leave your home or office behind, you need a laptop that won't weigh you down — and that's where the ultraportable category shines.
24 Aug 2008 | It's estimated there were 499,500 victims of identity fraud in Australia last year - 383,000 incidences of credit or bank card fraud, while 124,000 people had their identities stolen.

Returned These Shorts
I was very excited to sport these slouchy-cool shorts all summer, but was disappointed when I received them in the mail. The fit was off - they were tighter than expected and did not have the relaxed fit that made them look so great in the images. Unfortunately, I had to send these back.

New Favorite Fall Booties!
These booties perfectly fill the hole in my fall footwear wardrobe! I read the other reviews and went up half a size - I am normally an 8.5 and I ordered the 39. I love the pointed-toe shape and rich suede, they look amazing for weekend brunch with jeans or a night out with tights and a dress. I will be wearing these without fail all season.

LOVE this watch
I am a big fan of oversize watches, and this is the perfect option for summer. I had to have a few links taken out at my local jeweler's, but it was completely worth it. The watch goes with everything, and is a statement on its own or layered with a few bangles. Definitely a must!

CROWLEY, LA (FOX44) — Rising flood waters in Crowley have prompted the closure of a major road and voluntary evacuation of at least one subdivision.
The Crowley Police Department reports that the voluntary evacuation is being conducted in the Shady Oaks subdivision. We're told flood water has completely overtaken the roads and is beginning to flow into homes.
Residents in West and East Crowley are also reporting flooding that is nearing entry of homes.
We're told DOTD is currently in the process of shutting down all of Highway 90 in the city due to excessive water on the roadway.

When I lived in Long Island, we had a huge backyard, almost half an acre. I loved it because I had a garden. But when I moved back to the city, I couldn't take it with me. In the beginning it didn't bother me. I love living in the city! But I missed my garden.
So what can a City Girl with country desires do?
Plant a window sill garden, using every available space!
This is my green pepper plant. I'm already envisioning what I'll make when these get bigger!
The bottom little one fell as I was setting up the holding stick. What a difference from the one above!

Thanks Tom Opposite hemisphere, its a bit strange sometimes, and yes where we are its does get cold. We are at the base of the Snowy mountains so winter we look at snow capped mountains and temps regularly drop below 0. Currently its 6C.
Jun 2ndA passionate photographer, I have played in this space for nearly 20 years. My first encounter was the Photography club at high school, it was more of a social encounter rather than a pursuit of photography.
As life evolved and different activities attracted my attention photography was always in the background but not a priority. My passion took a turn when my first child was born and a desire to capture her growing in the best possible format.
This endeavour rekindled and enlightened the right side of the brain and as you will see in my gallery, the results of this adventure. It's only the beginning as I strive to learn by experimenting with light and the tools at hand.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

A day in the life of an accidental seer.
Dear Alexandra,
I've heard something about, in the Wiccan world, a "white lighter" is someone who sees nothing but prettiness (in other words, someone with rose-coloured glasses). Is this true?
Wondering in New York, NY
Dear Wondering,
As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "white lighter." "White lighter" is a fictional term made up for the television show, "Charmed."

Teaching the gift of giving is a valuable life lesson appropriate for any age. Research shows that people who are involved in charitable giving when they are young are twice as likely to continue giving in adulthood, and volunteers live happier and healthier lives. By involving your child in community service activities, you can begin a tradition that lasts a lifetime.
Children, like adults, can donate time and effort to most any community project. When children participate in community service, they:
To encourage your child's participation in community service, keep these recommendations in mind:
Start small, at home:
Then go bigger, and have fun:
Serve as a role model by volunteering for a community organization such as your child's school, your local community center or even participating in a charity walk as a family.
Videos, articles and tips to help you be a more confident parent.
Be informed!
Every action defines what we do. And what we do is teach.
Learn about our balanced approach to learning about people, emotions, health and academics.

An early morning bearish brokerage note has prompted option players to pick up Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ - 13.05) puts today. Around 26,000 contracts have changed hands, which is about a 65% improvement from the expected intraday put volume. Meanwhile, approximately 16,000 call contracts have crossed the tape, roughly on par with the average intraday pace for call options.
Short-term speculators are betting on a continued slide for the struggling stock, and have turned their attention to HPQ's weekly 13-strike put. Of the nearly 2,700 contracts that have been traded, 78% have crossed at the ask price, and there are currently no open positions at this strike. In other words, it's safe to assume new positions are being initiated here.
By buying these puts to open, traders will begin to profit with each step south of $12.66 (the strike minus the volume-weighted average price of $0.34) HPQ takes through next Friday, at which point these options will expire. This represents a slight 3% drop from current levels.
Today's tendency toward puts is a change of pace in the options pits, as evidenced by data at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX). Over the course of the past 10 sessions, traders have bought to open more than three calls for every put. What's more, this call/put volume ratio of 3.08 ranks higher than 90% of similar readings taken in the past year, indicating bullish bets have been scooped up over bearish at a near annual-high clip in recent weeks.
Echoing the withstanding preference for HPQ calls among option players is the equity's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 0.70. Not only does this show that call open interest outweighs put open interest on options expiring in three months' time, but it ranks in the 15th percentile of its annual range. Simply put, short-term speculators are more call-heavy than usual toward HPQ.
Considering the stock's dismal 50% year-to-date deficit, as well as a healthy short interest-to-float ratio of 5%, the campaign for calls in recent weeks could represent short sellers picking up hedges on their pessimistic positions. However, HPQ's dreary technical performance in 2012 is being highlighted in today's session, with the previously mentioned brokerage note ushering HPQ down to the $12.97 mark -- its lowest trading price since October 2002. Given today's option activity, this milestone is not being lost on the weekly put buyers.
Additionally, the Dow component is slated to take its turn at the earnings plate next Tuesday. Although HPQ has bested analysts' expectations in each of the last four quarters, today's bears could be hoping an earnings miss will push the stock below breakeven. Should the stock fail to succumb to an earnings-induced downturn, the most the traders can lose is the initial debit paid.
