I've owned 2 SF's an XD in .40 and Commander 1911. Both were good economical guns. then I got the accuracy and expensive 1911 bug and sold both. I can tell you the 1911 with over $2500 of Robar mods http://www.robarguns.com was a horrible disapointment. fortunately I did not put all the mods in the guns but I just did not perform as well as it should. It always ran true but accuracy and the feel of a fine 1911 was not there.
The XD was a fine .40 True the finish take a little getting used to and there are more safeties on the thing that a Glock, but a fine shooting pistol.

As the second video of my collaboration with EveliniCutza on YouTube, we wanted to share with you the style we did on her channel!
It is a bun hairstyle, and one that you are likely very familiar with from Pinterest and Tumblr!
{My girls call this the "Pumpkin Bun" since it looks so much like a pumpkin and with a very "Fall-ish" feel!} We aren't sure who created the original hairstyle, but Evelina wanted to show us all her take on how to recreate it. This technique incorporates the braids into the bun, instead of on top of it…
You will need a bun maker, which you can pick up at Claire's or Sally Beauty, but you can also use pipe cleaners as Evelina shows us.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair band, 6-10 small elastics, a bun maker, 2-4 bobby pins.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Happy Hairdoing!

In this hairstyle tutorial we have an exciting surprise for you all!
CGH#2 asked me if she could film a tutorial, so we decided to mix it up a bit by allowing her to teach you one of her go-to hairstyles on herself! She was so nervous to be teaching the tutorial… but you can see her courage as you watch the video! Her fans were so good to her in the comment box on YouTube… it was quite sweet!
This simple braided bun is a cute, quick style designed for young teenagers learning to do their own hair or people who need a great style in a hurry!
We especially thought of this one with swimmers {wet hair} as well as for other athletics or cheer/dance! The hairstyle is also great for "day-three" hair, which is best worn up so you can pull it back and still look good.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, 2 hair elastics, 1 rubber band, hairspray, and a few bobby pins or spin pins {if desired}.

Comment on this post »Last weekend we filmed two Hunger Games Hairstyles based solely upon a few good photos we could find online, this one and the Prim Braids. {A few months ago we posted the famous Katniss Braid, the one she wears in the arena.}
We saw the THG movie Friday night, loved it, and we were happy that our hairstyles were fairly true to form!
We were also excited to receive an email from Linda Flowers, the Lead Stylist on set for The Hunger Games movie who had seen our hairstyles on YouTube and wanted to let us know that she liked them and that she wants to Skype me for a personal tutorial with her! I am so0000 EXCITED!!!
For this hairstyle worn by Katniss during "The Reaping" scene in the movie, you basically follow the same steps as we showed in the Prim Braids for the two French-backs into normal braids. The only difference is that you "fold in" and pin the lower braids into a flat, low bun.
The result is super cute, and sure to get you compliments!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, two clear elastics, several bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5+ minutes

Comment on this post »Many of you will recognize this hairstyle as one of the first hairdo's we ever published, but we never have filmed a video for it.
Since we do receive quite a few requests via email asking for this video, as sometimes photo tutorials are not specific enough, we decided to film this one for you all!
We love how super easy this hairstyle is to do, and how cute it looks on our little girls. The style still works well on older girls, and moms as well, particularly if you pancake the braids into a more "loose" style.
We promise that you will get compliments on this hairstyle all day long! {My twins started calling this braided hairstyle "The Pineapple Braid" from the time they were very little, which I also think is cute because the finished hairstyle does look quite a bit like a pineapple!}
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 5 clear elastics, 2 regular
hair bands, and hairspray {if desired}.

Comment on this post »Over the past few months I have received a few inquiries asking for hair headband hairstyles . You could say that the hair headbands are somewhat of a trend that is very popular with teens today. This style is a fairly simple one, and can be done in the normal French Braid style, or in the Reverse (Dutch) Braid style, depending on how you want it to look.
Also, you can finish the headband in any number of ways. You can leave the braid hanging on the one side, or you can do what I did and roll it up and bobby pin it into a super cute rosette. The latter is not a new concept and is not something I could claim, but the combination is wonderful.
Time Requirement: 5-7 minutes.

There you have it! If you like this hairstyle… be sure to let us know!

New Poll Shows Americans Want Legal Weed, Even If They Don't Smoke It
Category: Legalization | Posted on Thu, August, 8th 2013 by THCFinder
After vicious debate over the position marijuana is to take in our society, it's time we set the record straight. In particular, it's high time we dispel a growing fear that our younger generation has increasingly used — and more terrifyingly — abused, marijuana.
In reality, a recently released Gallup poll has found that "Even as Americans' support for legalizing marijuana has doubled, and more than 20 states have loosened marijuana restrictions in various ways … [there is] relatively little increase in the percentage of U.S. adults who say they have tried marijuana. 38% percent of Americans admit to having tried marijuana, compared with 34% in 1999 and 33% in 1985." As the majority of young adults who tried marijuana in the 1970s replace older Americans who never did try the drug, the rate of total Americans who have ever tried the drug has increased only slightly, regardless of the fears of a much older generation.
Actually, those who fear the loss of this generation's purity should take a look back at their own cultural history, when marijuana usage skyrocketed in the 1970s, rising from 4% in 1969 to 12% in 1973 and 24% in 1977.
Since its peak at 56% of young experimenting adults in 1977, marijuana use among young adults has actually followed a slow, but noticeable, decline. In fact, marijuana usage coincidentally jumped the same time President Nixon declared the United States "War on Drugs" in 1971.
Interestingly, though the general rate of use has been the same, the demographic patterns for Americans' past experimentation with marijuana and current use have changed. Gender use has evened out, with 8% of men and 6% of women saying they smoke pot. More liberals (49%) have tried marijuana than moderates (40%) and conservatives (32%). Likely the most stereotyped and shocking of drug demographics is that "There are relatively minor differences in marijuana use by race — between whites and nonwhites — and by education. There are no income-related differences among those who say they have tried marijuana, but lower-income Americans are the most likely to say they currently use it."

Girl Taken From Parents Who Smoked Marijuana, Gave Her To A Murderous Foster Mother
Category: News | Posted on Thu, August, 8th 2013 by THCFinder
A little girl was confiscated from her loving parents because they smoked marijuana, and given away to a foster mother who put her into a coma and killed her. Alexandria Hill, age 2, succumbed to her injuries after being "thrown to the ground."
"We never hurt our daughter. She was never sick, she was never in the hospital, and she never had any issues until she went into state care," said Joshua Hill, the girl's natural father.
Hill says that his daughter was put in to more than one dangerous foster home.
"She would come to visitation with bruises on her, and mold and mildew in her bag. It got to a point where I actually told CPS that they would have to have me arrested because I wouldn't let her go back," said Hill.
The girl was then moved to a different foster home, under the care of Sherill Small in Rockdale, and Hill says things seemed safe there. However, appearances were deceiving.
On Monday night, Hill got an urgent call to come to the hospital. When he got there , he found his daughter in a coma. She died 2 days later.

Interested yet? Then join us behind the break to find out how it works. After Level 20, players will have access to the Pawn Shop. Once there, you'll be able to scroll through several items that have already been made available through the shop. If you're willing to make a trade for an item, you'll need to choose items of matching quality and quantity. For instance, here I'm trading for a Man Opener, a weapon with 63 Attack and 40 Defense. In order to make a fair trade, I'll need to give up two items of Common quality (Gray) and one Uncommon item (Green), so I choose the Lucky Shamrock Medallion, a .22 Pistol and a Luxury Yacht.
However, every trade includes a Reward Point transaction fee dependent upon the , which is certainly a bummer for those who don't pay to play. Though, if you've yet to buy an item thus far and are already a high level player, you've surely accumulated enough Reward Points to make at least a few trades. And for those who just want some item fast, all of these items are available for straight Reward Points.
After clicking the "Make the Trade" button, those old busted items are destroyed, I'm one Reward Point poorer but one item richer. Just like that, I can tell all my friends that I made a trade. Many are going to cringe at the growing Reward Point transaction fee. This could have easily been one helluva feature, but to force players to pay up when they're already giving up items might be asking too much. Hey, at least it beats paying in full. Right?
Have you tried the new Pawn Shop yet? What do you think of it so far? Can you look past the transaction fees? Speak up in the comments. Add Comment.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2357158 Kirby Puckett, 44, dies day after suffering stroke Associated Press Kirby Puckett MINNEAPOLIS -- Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett, the buoyant, barrel-shaped outfielder with the perpetual smile who led the Minnesota Twins to two World Series titles in a five-year span, died Monday at an Arizona hospital. Puckett, whose weight gain in recent years had concerned friends and former teammates, died after suffering a stroke early Sunday at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 44. He's survived by his children, Catherine and Kirby Jr., and his ex-wife, Tonya. "This is a sad day for the Minnesota Twins, Major League Baseball and baseball fans everywhere," team owner Carl Pohlad said. Puckett died at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Scottsdale. The youngest of nine children born into poverty in a Chicago housing project, Puckett was drafted by the Twins in 1982 and became a regular just two years later. He got four hits in his first major-league start and finished with 2,304 in only 12 seasons before an eye problem cut short his career in 1996. Though his power numbers weren't exceptional -- 207 home runs and 1,085 RBI -- Puckett was voted into Cooperstown on the first ballot in 2001. His respect and enthusiasm for the game factored in as much as his .318 average, 1989 batting title, six Gold Gloves, 10 All-Star Game appearances and two championship rings. He made his mark on baseball's biggest stage, leading heavy underdog Minnesota to an unlikely seven-game victory over St. Louis in 1987 and then doing the same against Atlanta in one of the most thrilling Series in history in 1991. The Twins returned to the Metrodome that year after losing 14-5 in Game 5, needing to win two straight to get the trophy. Puckett famously walked into the clubhouse hours before Game 6, cajoling his teammates to jump on his back and let him carry them to victory. Sure enough, after robbing Ron Gant of an extra-base hit with a leaping catch against the wall in the third inning, Puckett homered off Charlie Leibrandt in the bottom of the 11th to force Game 7. "There are a lot of great players in this game, but only one Kirby," pitcher Rick Aguilera said when Puckett announced his retirement. "It was his character that meant more to his teammates. He brought a great feeling to the clubhouse, the plane, everywhere." His best year was 1988, when he batted .356 with 24 home runs, 42 doubles and 121 RBI. A contact hitter and stolen-base threat in the minors who hit only four homers in his first two major-league seasons, Puckett developed a power stroke in 1986 and went deep a career-best 31 times. He became a fixture in the third spot in Minnesota's lineup, a free-swinging center fielder with a strong arm and a flair for nifty catches despite a 5-foot-9, 220-pound frame that made him look more like a fullback. The man known simply as "Puck" was immensely popular. Fans loved his style, especially the high leg kick that preceded his swing. Public address announcer Bob Casey, who became a close friend, introduced him with vigor before every at-bat, "KIR-beeeeeeeeee PUCK-it." As free agency and expansion turned over rosters more frequently in the 1990s, Puckett was one of the rare stars who never switched teams. "I wore one uniform in my career and I'm proud to say that," Puckett once said. "As a kid growing up in Chicago, people thought I'd never do anything. I've always tried to play the game the right way. I thought I did pretty good with the talent that I have." Hit by a pitch that broke his jaw on his last at-bat of the 1995 season, Puckett woke up one morning the following spring and couldn't see out of his right eye. It was eventually diagnosed as glaucoma, forcing him to call it quits that July. He received baseball's Roberto Clemente Man of the Year Award for community service that year, and the Twins -- trying to boost sagging attendance during some lean seasons in the late 1990s -- frequently turned to Puckett-related promotions. He had a spot in the front office and sometimes made stops at the state capitol to help stump for a new stadium. Though he refused to talk pessimistically about the premature end of his career, Puckett's personal life began to deteriorate after that. Shortly after his induction to Cooperstown, his then-wife, Tonya, accused him of threatening to kill her during an argument -- he denied it -- and described to police a history of violence and infidelity. In 2003, he was cleared of all charges from an alleged sexual assault of a woman at a Twin Cities restaurant. He kept a low profile after the trial and eventually moved to Arizona. His relationship with the organization ended in 2002, but the Twins kept trying to re-establish a connection and get him to come to spring training again as a guest instructor. Puckett put on considerable weight, as well. "We were all concerned. We would tell him. But he enjoyed life. He enjoyed the size he was. That's who he was," said former Twins and current Chicago Cubs outfielder Jacque Jones, who never played with Puckett but was one of the many who considered him a mentor. Another Minnesota great, Tony Oliva, was concerned about Puckett's condition, too. "The last few times I saw him, he kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger," Oliva said Sunday after learning about the stroke. "And we worried about him." Funeral services were pending.
Liked the way he played the game, big smile, infectious enthusiasm and a very good player that stayed loyal to a "small" market team.
i remember growing up watching him, one of the most fun players to ever watch. you could tell he loved to play more than anyone on the field. he also had 2 great plays in game 6 of the 91 WS the catch at the wall and the game winning home run.

OK...It was the previous bear attack thread that prompted this thread.
LOTS of Assorted Animal Attacks PLUS a searchable Archive. Click The Above Link.
Feeney, 21, of Philadelphia, said she was too frightened to move as the animal tore off her poncho and sweat shirt, clawed at her back and bit her head, and wondered, "When will it stop?"
"At one point," she said Monday, "the bear lay down beside me."
Feeney was camping on the eastern edge of Hickory Run State Park with two friends Saturday when she returned to camp and found the bear in a tent, and ran back to the others with the bear chasing her.
When the bear dragged Feeney into the woods, one of her companions said he shouted, "Play dead, Kathleen."
Feeney said the bear tore at her clothes, bit her, covered her with brush and tree branches, and eventually left. She said she could hear her friend yelling, "Run to my voice."
Feeney was treated for scratch marks on her back, bites on the back of her head and a puncture wound on her leg. She was discharged Sunday. Park officials said it was the first attack by a bear in Hickory Run's history.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Freezing-point depression describes the process in which adding a solute to a solvent decreases the freezing point of the solvent.
Examples include salt in water, alcohol in water, or the mixing of two solids such as impurities in a finely powdered drug. In the last case, the added compound is the solute, and the original solid is thought of as the solvent. The resulting solution or solid-solid mixture has a lower freezing point than the pure solvent or solid did. This phenomenon is what causes sea water, (a mixture of salt (and other things) in water) to remain liquid at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), the freezing point of pure water.
The phenomenon of freezing point depression has many practical uses. The radiator fluid in an automobile is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol (antifreeze). As a result of freezing point depression, radiators do not freeze in winter (unless it is extremely cold, e.g. −30 to −40 °C (−22 to −40 °F)). Road salting takes advantage of this effect to lower the freezing point of the ice it is placed on. Lowering the freezing point allows the street ice to melt at lower temperatures. The maximum depression of the freezing point is about −18 °C (0 °F), so if the ambient temperature is lower, [salt] (sodium chloride) will be ineffective.
Freezing-point depression is used by some organisms that live in extreme cold. Such creatures have evolved means through which they can produce high concentration of various compounds such as sorbitol and glycerol. This elevated concentration of solute decreases the freezing point of the water inside them, preventing the organism from freezing solid even as the water around them freezes, or the air around them is very cold. Examples include some species of arctic-living fish, such as rainbow smelt, which can survive in freezing temperatures for long periods. In other animals, such as the spring peeper frog (Pseudacris crucifer), the molality is increased temporarily as a reaction to cold temperatures. In the case of the peeper frog, freezing temperatures trigger a large scale breakdown of glycogen in the frog's liver and subsequent release of massive amounts of glucose into the blood.[1]
With the formula below, freezing-point depression can be used to measure the degree of dissociation or the molar mass of the solute. This kind of measurement is called cryoscopy (Greek cryo = cold, scopos = observe "observe the cold"[2]) and relies on exact measurement of the freezing point. The degree of dissociation is measured by determining the van 't Hoff factor i by first determining mB and then comparing it to msolute. In this case, the molar mass of the solute must be known. The molar mass of a solute is determined by comparing mB with the amount of solute dissolved. In this case, i must be known, and the procedure is primarily useful for organic compounds using a nonpolar solvent. Cryoscopy is no longer as common a measurement method as it once was, but it was included in textbooks at the turn of the 20th century. As an example, it was still taught as a useful analytic procedure in Cohen's Practical Organic Chemistry of 1910,[3] in which the molar mass of naphthalene is determined using a Beckmann freezing apparatus.
Freezing-point depression can also be used as a purity analysis tool when analysed by differential scanning calorimetry. The results obtained are in mol%, but the method has its place, where other methods of analysis fail.
This is also the same principle acting in the melting-point depression observed when the melting point of an impure solid mixture is measured with a melting point apparatus, since melting and freezing points both refer to the liquid-solid phase transition (albeit in different directions).
In principle, the boiling point elevation and the freezing point depression could be used interchangeably for this purpose. However, the cryoscopic constant is larger than the ebullioscopic constant and the freezing point is often easier to measure with precision, which means measurements using the freezing point depression are more precise.
FPD measurements are used in the dairy industry to ensure that milk has not had extra water added. Milk with FPD of over 0.509 m *C is considering to be unadulterated.[4]
Consider the problem in which the solvent freezes to a very nearly pure crystal, regardless of the presence of the non volatile solute. This typically occurs simply because the solute molecules do not fit well in the crystal, i.e. substituting a solute for a solvent molecule in the crystal has high enthalpy. In this case, for low solute concentrations, the freezing point depression depends solely on the concentration of solute particles, not on their individual properties. The freezing point depression thus is called a colligative property.[citation needed]
The explanation for the freezing point depression is then simply that as solvent molecules leave the liquid and join the solid, they leave behind a smaller volume of liquid in which the solute particles can roam. The resulting reduced entropy of the solute particles thus is independent of their properties. This approximation ceases to hold when the concentration becomes large enough for solute-solute interactions to become important. In that case, the freezing point depression depends on particular properties of the solute other than its concentration.[citation needed]
If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant ("Blagden's Law"):
ΔTF = KF · b · i
This simple relation doesn't include the nature of the solute, so this is only effective in a diluted solution. For a more accurate calculation at a higher concentration, Ge and Wang (2010)[6][7] proposed a new equation:
In the above equation, TF is the normal freezing point of the pure solvent (0oC for water for example); aliq is the activity of the solution (water activity for aqueous solution); ΔHfusTF is the enthalpy change of fusion of the pure solvent at TF, which is 333.6 J/g for water at 0oC; ΔCfusp is the differences of heat capacity between the liquid and solid phases at TF, which is 2.11 J/g/K for water.
The solvent activity can be calculated from Pitzer model or modified TCPC model, which typically requires 3 adjustable parameters. For the TCPC model, these parameters are available at reference [8][9][10][11] for many single salts.

Can't Help but Write a Review
I usually don't write reviews too often it's more of a watch, rate, and leave. But this movie attracted me for some strange reason. I like the metaphor of passing life onto a new generation, it's a beautiful idea but it could have been a bit more in depth. Wonderful animation either way. 5/5
Visually stunning. The music was pleasant (and fitting). And the concept was interesting. I also loved the story-book/journalesque style that introed and entroed it. Would love to see more of this world (maybe the bot playing a piano?).
nice graphics
it is all nice , the story is pretty good if you understand it ..
I think I see
they made a robot and there was another one
the one they just made needed a "heart" to work, i think
so the other one gave it to him/her
and it just keeps on going with each other robot.strange story.
I dont want to sound corny here, but i think its about life

Hot water heating system leak diagnosis & repair; here we explain how to determine that a hot water heating system is in fact leaking, and second we describe how to find the location of hidden leaks in or on heating boilers, hot water heat piping, baseboards, radiators, convectors, or radiant heat floors or ceilings. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Tips for Finding Leaks on Hot Water Boilers or in Hot Water Heating Distribution PipingThe photograph at page top shows that a heating convector recessed into the wall had been leaking into the wall structure for a long time. The leak was discovered by removing the convector cover for direct inspection. We could also see evidence of this leak by inspecting for water stains or damage at the building sills in the basement below. At above/left our photo shows a severe leak at an air bleed fitting on a hot water heating baseboard line that was eventually separated by freezing and frost-push. While freezing can burst piping and cause serious leaks in buildings, a bad solder joint may be dripping into a wall, ceiling or floor for quite some time before it is detected. Although the leakage rate in a hot water heating piping system increases when the system is hot and in use (and at higher operating pressure than when cold), much of the water leaking out of the piping evaporates.on the hot piping surface. It is important to recognize and accurately report the significance of rust like this on any heating boiler. We continue to add to and update this text as new details are provided. Contact us to suggest text changes and additions and, if you wish, to receive online listing and credit for that contribution. Most modern heating boilers include an automatic water makeup valve that combines pressure reduction (to 12 psi cold on the boiler side of the valve) with automatically makeup water if the boiler pressure drops below that point. Details are at WATER FEEDER VALVES, HYDRONIC BOILER. How Do I Know if my Heating Boiler is Leaking?A small water leak in a hot water heating system (hydronic heat) will eventually cause pressure loss in the system, but you may never notice this problem. Leaks on hot water heating systems are likely to occur, or to leak more rapidly when the heating system is hot (at higher pressure) than when it's cool. The pressure drop from a small heating system water leak may be occurring over a long time, months or longer, and because the leaked-water may simply dry out on the hot heating piping where it is occurring you may never see a wet spot on a floor, wall, or ceiling below the leak. Our photo (left) shows the mineral build-up at a leaky air purge vent on a hot water heating system. Notice also those white leak stains on the boiler top itself. How Do I Find Leaks on Hot Water Heating Systems?To detect a small leak in a hydronic heating system we have had some success with these measures:
Look particularly closely where there are probably tubing connectors such as at manifolds and at the start and ends of tubing runs. Look on floors and other building surfaces, not just at the piping itself. Our photo (left) shows the results of a dripping boiler drain. A large water leak in a hot water heating system will usually show up quickly as a puddle, a ceiling, wall, or floor stain, or worse, as mineral clogging and damage to the boiler itself, caused by the excessive level of minerals in the constantly-added make-up water (if your area's water supply is high in mineral content). Readers should also see BOILER LEAKS CORROSION STAINS where we provide a catalog of places where leaks often occur on hot water heating systems. This article series answers most questions about central hot water heating system troubleshooting, inspection, diagnosis, and repairs. We describe how to inspect, troubleshoot and repair heating and air conditioning systems to inform home owners, buyers, and home inspectors of common heating system defects. Reader Question: heating boiler expansion tank pressure drops to zero - we keep adding water.We have the Weil-McLain boiler in floor heating system... re Expansion Tank... every 4-7 days the pressure goes down to zero (from 10 – 20 psi)... we have a hose connected that we turn on both valves and let the water go into the tank to bring the pressure up to 10-20 psi..but still will not hold...what is the problem? and what if we do not fill with water and leave at zero? advise please. - B.A. Watford, Ontario Reply: look for a leak in the heating systemI may not understand your question properly, and an expert onsite inspection usually reveals important additional information. Some photos or a sketch may help me comment further - but from what I can make out you are talking about a hot water heating system and the expansion tank connected to the heating system piping and boiler. The expansion tank's job is to absorb the initial pressure increase in the system as water heats up -- thus to avoid improper heating water spilling at the pressure/temperature relief valve. On an older steel bladderless heating system expansion tank installation, the tank eventually becomes waterlogged (air is absorbed into the heating water) and then the relief valve drips. The "fix" is to completely drain the tank, allowing air to enter it. When the system is turned back on and heating water is forced back into the tank, at system COLD pressures, the tank will have some water and some air inside it and the heating system pressure will be around 12 psi. On occasion there is an air leak at the top of an expansion tank - but if that's the case you'd eventually see rust or water dripping down the tank when it becomes waterlogged. So I suspect that there is a water leak elsewhere. I'm unclear where you are measuring pressure. Expansion tanks don't usually have a pressure gauge attached, but as the tank and heating piping and boiler are all connected the boiler pressure gauge is approximately reflecting the system pressure. I say approximately because the precise system pressure varies at different locations, for example it will be a bit lower at the highest point in the piping system than at the lowest point of the boiler. Now you should not be having to add water to your heating system. Its pressure is really dropping to zero (as opposed to a gauge problem for example) then there is probably a leak somewhere that you need to find and fix. If you have an in-floor radiant heat system the leak could be hidden below a floor slab - a condition we find by using an infra red scanner or by shutting off the water supply to the boiler and watching for a pressure drop. I think that's the direction you need to investigate. If you have not already read it see BOILER LEAKS CORROSION STAINS Also see CHEMICAL TREATMENTS, BOILER for a discussion of leak-stop products.

What to do if you suspect your computer has a virus
Aug 13, 2012, 9:11 a.m.
If your computer is running slow or acting strangely, you may have scratched your head and wondered, "Does my computer have a virus?" Fortunately, it's a pretty easy process to check for a computer virus and you don't have to be a computer genius to do so. Here's how to find out if your computer's been infected.
- Update your virus protection software. Outdated software may not be able to effectively scan for viruses or take care of any that are found.
- Update your software's virus definitions. New viruses are released every day, and each one of them does something a little different than the next. It's not enough to have updated software if it's only able to recognize viruses that may have been released six months ago.
- Now that everything is updated, it's time to run a virus scan. Make sure you run the scan on all files and folders on your computer. This scan can take anywhere from several minutes to an hour to run. Be patient, and allow the program to finish before using your computer again.
- If your virus protection software didn't detect a virus and your computer continues to perform poorly, you might want to seek the help of a computer repair shop. They can perform more comprehensive diagnostics to tell you if it's a virus or a technical problem that'll require maintenance or parts to correct.
- If your virus protection software did detect a virus, follow the instructions in your software to safely eliminate or quarantine the virus. If you have a quarantined virus, you may require the help of a computer repair shop to get rid of it. However, quarantining the virus should protect your computer from the virus long enough for you to get help removing it permanently.
Read signs your computer may have a virus
Sometimes, getting a computer virus can be worse than falling physically ill ourselves. At least with a physical virus, you can let it run its course -- not so for a computer virus, which can only do more damage the longer it's left untreated. Don't wait until you suspect your computer has a virus before taking action. The best defense against computer viruses is prevention. Don't open email attachments if you don't know who they're from, don't download from websites you don't know and trust, and keep your virus protection software updated and run scans regularly.

What a FEMALE THOR Means for the Marvel Cinematic Universe
By Ben Mekler on July 15, 2014
Odin's Beard, have we got a great episode of Nerdist News for you today, true believers!
To start, Marvel Comics dropped a big ol' bomb on The View(?) this morning, announcing that a woman will be wielding Mjolnir and taking on the mantle of Thor! While plenty of other characters have become Thor in the past, this is the first time a female has been dubbed "worthy." But what could a big, progressive move like this mean for the Marvel U at large, and, of course, the gargantuan Marvel Cinematic Universe? Well, you'll have to watch to find out! PLUS get a little peek-a-boo at Malik Forte's rad new show about everything gaming: Nerdist: Play!
Enjoy today's show, come on back for another tomorrow, and let us know in the comments below how you feel about the all-new Thor!
A Female Thor means nothing for the movie universe because it's only happening in the comics
Storm has wielded the Hammer before..-
Who cares. What does that have to do with Thor, the Norse God of Thunder and Battle, Son of Odin the All Father, slayer of the Midgard Serpent and preeminent War God and One of the most well known pagan Gods on the Entire Planet?
this is the dumbest shit ever..full stop.
Your input is valuable and you are a fine human specimen.
am i the only one who thinks this is wierd?
(as a dane) i thougt making thor a comic book hero was strange, but now making a female version?
I am all for gender equallity but, thor is by old norse, portrayed as a god of thunder, and i think it should relate to the source material.
I think it is an unesccery "gender-bend" IMHO.-
sí U.u
You are sooooo right! That was my thoughts exactly!
They want to turn a Religions God into a woman? well it did happen in the Eddas when Thor had to dress as a woman to get his Mjolnir back but i'd like to see them make Jesus or Mohammad into a girl. Ohhoho the backlash on that would rip the world apart.
Thank you for knowing enough of the actual mythology to reference Thor's crossdressing adventure. That makes this Norsky's day. ❤
No, they want to turn a comic book character into a woman, which isn't the same thing.
That said, I'm not sure about this, either, since Thor isn't merely a hero identity, a la Batman, but is just, you know, who he IS. You can have a lady wield the hammer & basically give her Thor's powers, but that wouldn't make her Thor.
He is a Marvel comic book character stolen from a Norse religion. It may not be widely practiced anymore, but he is still a religious figure, same as Jesus is.
Why go to all the trouble to get the character Neil Gaiman created just to morph her into another character?
Doesn't seem all that empowering for women to refer to this unlikely-to-last-in-the-long-run storyline as "the female Thor."Not saying it's wrong, or bad, just saying meh.
Don't forget Ms. Marvel in the line of progressive changes in comics lately. Learned about both her and the new Spider-man through Idea Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VALaI9HpmUw
i love it just like i loved xena and the siph or sif however you spell her name. i think things workout are we going to see a thor movie with beta-ray thor and female thor?
But…what about the times Storm and Wonder Woman wielded Mjolnir? Do they not count as women?
This isn't the first time a woman's been deemed worthy, this is just the first time a woman has been able to wield it for a period of time and it not (yet) be written away as it being a weird crossover, one-shot or fake Mjolnir.
Other female wielders in the past have been Wonder Woman, during the DC vs Marvel crossover in the 90s; Rogue in a what-if one-shot; and Storm, who was given a fake hammer but has always widely been considered to have had the real power regardless. That said, all of these (and the rest of comics history) prove that until it isn't, this is probably going to be a fleeting thing.
Also, the MCU doesn't have to "catch up." They never have to consider it in that universe at all. So many things have been passed up, looked over or flat out changed now that I can't imagine why anyone paying attention would say this. They're different universes for a reason; It makes it easier for the movie/tv section to handpick what they want from the other, without being obligated to do EVERYTHING from that one (or any of the other, since most of this universe has been created from the charred marrow of the now defunct Ultimate U). The two are still very much their own thing, as I'm sure that the comics have seen a spike in sales since the movies have become big but we're not seeing millions and millions more comics flying off the shelves now, are we? The market is still very split and highly different. One of these things is not like the other and is exactly like barking up the same tree as saying the game industry is just like the movie industry. There are similarities, sure, but there are so many differences that, realistically, never the twain shall meet.
Personally, I don't think –movie-wise– Black Widow has legs in a standalone feature. A Netflix miniseries maybe, if they can get Johansson to do that sort of thing, but I don't think she's flashy enough for the Movie going crowd who will likely call out the fact that she's a female Captain America without powers or a catchy (no pun) symbolic weapon. Then they'd probably ask when Cap 3 is. The way things have been going, the market seems to know that big and flashy is for the silver screen, the more mundane is for the small one.
Frankly, they better produce with a Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel/whoever-she-is-this-month movie at some point, because her absence would be a sore spot since they're ripping the band-aid off the universe they're creating with Guardians, and would be leaving a Kree sized hole. The cosmic universe is there, we know it simply from the commercials and slight tidbits from Agent's of SHIELD, the excuses won't keep up any more.
And even then, maybe except for the huge love everyone has for Hiddleston as Loki, we'd probably be more likely to see female Loki (or the Enchantress) before we'd see female Thor. That's just a really itchy feeling I've got right now, as I'm hoping they'll at least do right by The Scarlet Witch.-
ugh, that whole midsection wasn't supposed to be the blob of text it is.
Since it is a Norse thing, shouldn't she then be Thora, the female form of Thor? You know like Frey/Freya. And we all know the fan base will not be happy, so yeah, six months.
It's more about what a female would define. So will it be just another "tougher than any guy" Heroine who actually is a guy with tits? Or will she have female Qualities, that are Character and Gender based?
Well the cosplay sounds promising.
I'm not against it, in fact it looks interesting and I'm glad that her body is relatively covered up. It's nice to see that a lot of comics are moving in a direction toward more realistic/non-slutty portrayal of females (New 52 Wonder Woman, the new Batgirl redesign, Captain Marvel, etc) and not just half naked boner fuel *cough*ANGELA*cough*.
That said, this is a total Marvel stunt, which is what irritates me. I love having really great female lead comics (like the aforementioned Wonder Woman and ESPECIALLY Captain Marvel), but I'm not that crazy for when a preexisting character is redesigned just to make them a minority or female. It's a totally exploitative PR stunt. Does Marvel get on the news when they create a random new minority or female character? No, it's just when they redo a preexisting one like this. That said, Miles Morales did turn out fantastic.
The really sad thing is that it's probably not going to last. If comic history has taught us anything, it's that nothing resets status quo like a movie coming out featuring the character. Just ask Bucky-Captain America or Doc Ock-Spidey. So, unless the character REALLY takes off and they end up giving her her own hammer in the spirit of Beta Ray Bill (heeeyyyyy, I may be onto something), she's probably going to go away by next summer when Avengers 2 comes out.
Personally, I'm all for more minority and female characters in comics. Just come up with new ones. Also, if the MCU doesn't get Captain Marvel into a movie soon, I'm gonna poop myself…in protest. A protest poop.
No it isn't. Earth X, Wonder Woman, Rogue, and Storm have all held the hammer and been given the powers of Thor.
Personally I wish Marvel just made new material, I mean for example say, bring back Valkyrie, at this point I am unsure if they are re-writing Thor and making him into a woman, or they are going to say Thor is the hammer, by empowering a new host. But with the current story line, I have 3 theories how this is going to start out, in a way I cannot wait to see how it pans out. But I give it 1 or 2 volumes, all I can say is they better not kill Thor off!
Uhm… Wonder Woman took up the Hammer of Thor in a crossover… so SHE is the first woman to have the power of Thor.
Elektra had her own movie right?
That movie isn't part of the MCU.
Well Loki was a woman once in the comics so it makes sense that Thor would follow suit. I see no controversy in this decision.
I think what you mean to say is you personally don't see an issue with the decision. The very fact that we're commenting on a news article about it proves that its a controversial decision. You'd have to be blind not to see the controversy.
I don't think they would have teased this so early if they didn't have a story to back it up. I don't think it's just some woman picking up the hammer. It's Thor. I don't know the details, but damned if I'm not reserving a copy and waiting for October.
Well, with regards to the cinematic superhero versions, I see no way that the audience would allow a female Thor; first, none of the (ASD-ish) male fans would allow a change to the accepted norm of Thor, son of Odin, and second, none of the female fans would allow a change from Chris Hemsworth….I suppose the print version can do what it wants.
I will be banning everything Marvel until this changes back to the way it should be.
Wow, you govern a sovereign state? Such power. Well, with all of their properties banned from your, um, nation, I'm sure Marvel will quickly see the error of their ways. The loss of all of your citizens will certainly hit Marvel right where it hurts.
This is going to be temporary, without a doubt. After all, this isn't the first time that Marvel has given a character that wasn't Thor his powers.
If this is anything like Beta Ray Bill or Thunderstrike, they're probably going to bring Thor back after a short amount of time and give this new character their own form of Mjolnir.
As such, I highly doubt that this will make any sort of impact on the cinematic universe.
I don't see the big deal Loki has been female for a while now.
he's a dude again, the female thing stopped about a year ago
Jessica, you are slightly wrong. Ororo Munroe wielded Mjolnir at one point. Art Adams did the artwork and I believe it was in an X-Men Annual. Wonder Woman also was able to lift Mjolnir during one of the DC/Marvel crossovers.
what i don't like about this is .. Storm is already like the female Thor … controls lighting and weather and she's a Goddess in some versions … so why do we need another one :\ I would have preferred if they kept Thor as is and Storm herself replaced him somehow instead of making him a woman and having him become a duplicate of storm :\
Plus Storm already took the role of the God of Thunder during an X-Men/Asgard crossover in the late 80's… so there's just no need for feminizing Thor. If we needed that kind of gender role for a while, either have Storm reassume the mantle, or else promote Sif or Valkyrie to wield the hammer for a while so Thor can go to the Bahamas for a much needed break. Revamping such an established character is just a bad bad idea. Unless it's temporary… then it's just a bad device.
Love the idea of a woman as the new Norse thunder god. Hate the idea of a new character with the same name. Thor is not an alias or a job description, it's a proper name. When Loki took over for Odin in the movie, he didn't suddenly start being Odin.
My fiance and I have both been thinking that Marvel U needs a female-led group, or perhaps so far as an all-female group of heroines.
Agreed! But instead of dramatically altering existing icons, why not take some understated current female heroes and make them fore-runners? I can think of a number of strong candidates with heroic potential who just don't get enough love in the Marvel Universe… Storm, Spectrum/Photon, Spider-Woman, Diamondback, Valkyrie, Tigra, She-Hulk (green one please), Misty Knight, Mockingbird, just to name a very few. I'd love to see some of these heroines take center stage for a while! There's no need to feminize Thor, or ethnicitize Spider-Man. Create NEW characters and make them stars!!
If all it is is a PR stunt (like Beta Ray Bill/alien Thor) or Frog-Thor, then fine… run your little story and let it finish. But instead of changing decades old icons, if you want to raise equal rights, instead of plopping new genders or ethnicities into iconic and well-established heroes, why not instead create NEW strong powerful characters and then throw the full marketing power of the company behind it? Animated shorts, posters and toys, feature the characters in current games (Marvel Heroes, MAA, Lego heroes, Super Squad, etc.) and build a new legacy? … you know, instead of f**king up an old one?
SJWs ruin everything. And they are the exact reason why no one can have nice things.

Amicus Therapeutics Presents Updated Patient Screening Profiles From Phase 3 Fabry Study
About Fabry Disease
Fabry disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disease that is currently estimated to affect approximately 5,000 to 10,000 people worldwide. Fabry Disease is caused by deficiency of an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A). Over 600 mutations in the alpha-Gal A gene are associated with Fabry disease. The role of alpha-Gal A within the body is to break down a complex lipid called globotriaosylceramide (GL-3). Reduced or absent levels of alpha-Gal A activity leads to the accumulation of GL-3 in the affected tissues, including the central nervous system, heart, kidneys, and skin. This accumulation of GL-3 is believed to cause the various symptoms of Fabry disease, including pain, kidney failure, and increased risk of heart disorders and stroke.

text: Tory Burch seems to be getting edgier and edgier with each new season. Heck, even Kanye West was spotted sitting right alongside Tory herself at the Lincoln Center. "It's English countryside meets American sportswear," said Burch of the collection. Tory's spin on the widespread '70s trend was more refined, via suits — a red velvet smoking inspired by her mother's old Yves Saint Laurent suit was amazing — dresses, and pretty bow blouses. The designer also experimented with chunky tweeds, plaint prints, and heavy embellishments adding a textural component to her collection. And love it or not, palazzo pants are back: low-slung pleated and printed versions were paired with silk tops for an effortless bohemian vibe. Cropped knit and leather jackets, furry oversized shearling vests, and cropped tweed coats were also notable pieces.

Lawrence Reed, 22, identified as the person of interest in police custody in the murder of openly gay mayoral candidate Marco McMillian, whose body was found Wednesday in Coahoma County, Miss.
Marco McMillian's body was found near the Mississippi River, between Sherard and Rena Lara. He had been missing since early Tuesday. He was discovered missing after an accident involving his SUV Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. near the Coahoma County-Tallahatchie County line.
Lawrence Reed, who was driving McMillian's SUV, collided head-on with another vehicle. The mayoral candidate wasn't in the vehicle at the time of the accident and that prompted a search for his whereabouts, the Clarion-Ledger reports.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) -- Canadians are marking the death of Leonard Nimoy -- by marking up some of their money. It seems a former prime minister pictured on $5 bank notes looks like Nimoy's character Spock from "Star Trek." That is, if the former P.M. had pointy Vulcan ears, sharp eyebrows and a dark bowl haircut. No problem for sharp-eyed Canadians with Sharpies -- or other writing implements. They have transformed the images of Wilfrid Laurier to look like Spock. Canada's central bank says it isn't illegal to deface or mutilate bank notes. But a bank spokeswoman says scribbling on them is inappropriate -- because it defaces a Canadian symbol and source of national pride. Since Nimoy died, people on social networking sites have posted their own versions of the $5 bill that make the former prime minister look like Spock.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Estelle says she remembers that when she was a kid, her family was so hooked on "Dynasty," her parents made sure no one bothered them when it was on. She says it's the same way now with the Fox series "Empire." She says just as her parents "ran our lives" around Dynasty, they shape their day around the show. Estelle has good reason to make sure it's quiet when Empire is on; she's been a guest star on the show. She says she loved her character -- noting she had hair down to her butt -- and Estelle says she would enjoy "flicking it around."
Estelle says it was a dream to perform "Conqueror" with "Empire" star Jussie Smollett.

NEW YORK (AP) -- It's another sign that the line between watching TV on TV and watching TV online has become blurred. Last week, NBC's "Parks and Recreation" signed off after seven seasons on the air. While the Nielsen ratings showed the finale drew just over 4 million viewers -- a relatively small number -- it drew the more tweets than any other program on TV. That includes "The Walking Dead," which had three times the audience as the NBC show. It's a sign Parks and Recreation made more of a dent online than it did on the air.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- For many movies, the choice is whether to catch it in the theater -- or wait until it's out on TV. But you won't have to make that choice when "Beasts of No Nation" is released later this year. That's because the project will drop both in select theaters in the U.S. -- and worldwide on Netflix. And it will be released the same day in both formats. The movie tells the story of a child soldier torn from his family to fight in the civil war of an African country.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- All four coaches on "The Voice" want Army Staff Sergeant Jeremy Gaynor. He's a vocalist with the band at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He got the four coaches to turn their chairs during last night's blind auditions. But it's Christina Aguilera who lands the soldier. She pointed out her dad was an Army sergeant, too. Team Xtina has just one slot to fill. The rest of the teams are nearly complete, too. Tonight, The Voice recaps the blind auditions, so far. Next week, the final selections will be made before the battle rounds begin.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Oprah Winfrey helped put Chicago on the map as a hub for TV production. But now she is pulling up stakes in the Windy City. She's closing down Harpo Studios -- which her talk show called home for more than 20 years. Production that had been done in Chicago will move to her new production house in West Hollywood, California. The Chicago site has been sold to a developer for about $32 million.
