The Creative Live Cam Voice is a well-rounded camera for IM and Internet-based voiceconferencing. We like its audio options and clear, vivid images and its plethora of image adjustability, physical flexibility, and ample software, but we weren't impressed with the poor integration of animated video effects. This won't be a great loss for professional pursuits, but if your kids like to play with animation, the less expensive Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 is a better choices. For $99, the Creative Live Cam Voice offers many options, but if your needs are more basic, we recommend the less expensive Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe or the Creative WebCam Live Ultra.
Though it's fairly large, the Creative Live Cam Voice is surprisingly stable. The camera's bulbous body, which is reminiscent of E.T.'s head, sits atop a claw-like stand. The spring-loaded leg securely holds the camera in place on top of a flat-panel screen, and the leg folds in completely, so the camera can also sit on a desk. The camera offers 360 degrees of horizontal and 65 degrees of vertical range--impressive, considering that the Logitech QuickCam Fusion offers only 90 degrees of vertical movement.
The Creative Live Cam Voice comes with a single CD that includes drivers, a manual, and software. The bundled apps include Creative Muvee software for creating and editing basic videos; My Orb for accessing files such as remote-monitoring images from a computer or a PDA with an Internet connection; SightSpeed, a voice and video calling service; Creative WebCam Center for remote monitoring and taking time-lapse photographs, videos, and still photographs; and Creative Photo Manager, which organizes videos and still photos by date. This is a remarkable bundle, especially since many Webcams offer only basic photo and video software.
The real value of the Creative Live Cam Voice lies with the WebCam Center software, which makes it easy to adjust color, image size, and frame rate. Two tabs at the top of the WebCam Center's main interface lead you to intuitive menus with a plethora of adjustability options. Creative also offers a bonus set of features that you can download from its Web site: Advanced Video FX adds special effects, such as psychedelic color trails and exotic backgrounds, to your picture or video, and WebCam Audio Control lets you choose from normal; Live Audio, which reduces background noise; or Directional Live Audio, which transmits sounds from in front of the camera only. Each of these control panels launches in a separate window, which could make for a cluttered desktop; we'd rather see them incorporated into the main WebCam Center interface. Using the Video FX software is also difficult and requires switching from the standard Live Cam Voice driver to the Creative WebCam (with video effects) driver with a drop-down menu in WebCam Center. Switching drivers results in markedly worse image quality and lower image resolution. We prefer Logitech's Avatars, which work directly in the software window without switching drivers or sacrificing image quality.

Re: sailing has changed my life
In 1952 my first boat was a 26' 1929 Chris Craft speed boat. That led to taking the USCG safety courses, and achieving the rank of Boatswains Mate.
Changed jobs, moved and wound up at the the Rochester Yacht Club where a co-worker got me interested in Predicted Log Contests, which led me to taking Power Squadron courses. Rose to the rank of
Which led to me teaching Celestial Navigation in the Northern New Jersey Power Squadron.
A friend there introduced me to the Nyack Boat Club. No power boats, so got a 20 year old Lightning and tried to compete in Wednesday night racing. HA! That got me really interested in some serious sailing.
That took me to volunteering at the USNA in Annapolis on their Racing Committee.
Now retired and sail my Cape Dory 25 around the Delaware Bay and the Chesapeake.
I'm now studying how to diagnose the 24 sensors and control modules of a modern diesel engine in the hope of (well let's not go there because it's just a dream).

I can't offer an opinion on your pics as I can't see them well, and the fact you had a good latch before makes things more confusing, but I wanted to say a couple things..
-a posterior tongue tie does NOT cause a heart shaped tongue...that's caused by a more anterior tie. the posterior tie holds the tongue down in the back, so doesn't cause the heart shape.
-some babies can extend the tongue past the gums even with a posterior tongue tie....my DD was one of them; however they have difficulty maintaining that extension. They can't lift their tongues up to the roof of their mouths.
-very few people know how to dx posterior tongue tie...I had SEVERAL people look at my DD's tongue and they all told me things were fine (LC, midwives, feeding specialist, ped) but everything she was doing was consistent w/ post tt and I finally found an LC who knew about it. I took DD up to see Dr. Coryllos who confirmed it as a type 4 posterior tt and we had it corrected.
Because we had such a hard time getting a dx, my DD was 9.5 weeks before it was corrected and it took until she was about 16 weeks for her latch to correct, and we had a lot of trouble and I had tons of pain in the meantime. BUT we had latch problems from the very 1st day.
Good luck figuring things out!
Mallory. Happily married to Joe since 6/25/05. Loving my adventure with my girls, Owyn Samantha, born 3/1/09. and Greta June, born 11/2/11

Feedback on kitchen layout
Hello forum,
I am in the planning stage of renovation of my 25-year-old kitchen. I would like some feedback on a proposed layout I have worked out. It is just a tweak on my current layout, but I don't think I want to radically redesign things. The U-shaped kitchen I have been using for the last 30 years suits me fine. I cannot imagine a more convenient workspace. The main change I would like to make is to eliminate the overhanging cabinets above the peninsula to open up the room and give a nice sight line into the adjacent family room. I also want to update from the country style we now have to a more contemporary look.
The first floorplan shown is the current one. The second is my revision.
The adjacent family room was recently redone. It is a little more contemporary than the rest of the house, with cherrywood paneling in a natural stain. The sofa and chairs are new and generally transitional/contemporary, and the occasional tables are Danish modern from the 1960s, in teakwood, bought used on eBay. The colors are all shades of brown and beige, with some accents in the burnt orange/red color range.
My new design encroaches about 6 inches on the existing dinette. This still allows us to put a table and chairs in there, and gives enough clearance to be able to get into and out of the chairs. Having a proper, sit down table is very important to me. My current table seats six, which is ideal for when my grown children visit. I do not want to trade the table for an island or bar seating. I really like being able to have a family meal or informal get-together in the kitchen rather than the dining room.
Having said all that, I really am trying to remain open-minded at this stage. If anyone has other suggestions, I would be glad to hear them. Thanks to all.
Liz Feuer
I feel like I am looking into my in-laws kitchen. Seriously, even the hardware on the cabinets is the same. :)
They DID remove the cabs over the peninsula a few years ago. It made a big difference. And they already had room for the DW next to the sink - so what their kitchen looks like now will be almost identical to what you will be getting. What they DON'T have is a wall between the dinette area and the family room (what I assume is past the dinette area?) Would you be open to taking that half wall down to help with the cramped space for your table? I think it would make a huge difference.
Otherwise, if you are happy with the way the kitchen works for you I think it looks just fine. Do you plan on removing the soffits? You can gain the storage lost over the peninsula by taking your cabinets to the ceiling. Also, use drawers in as many base cabinets as possible. (3 drawer bases are good for pots and pans, 4 drawer for other items) They are much more efficient and easier on the back.
Think about swapping the DW and the sink if you ever have help (or want help) in the kitchen. If you swap the DW and sink, one person can load the DW while another preps on the peninsula. The depth of the stove front to back and the DW door's movement should be checked to make sure they don't interfere with each other before making the change.
Or another option would be to eliminate the peninsula and continue the counter down to the current corner. Then you could do a narow 18" island with minimal aisles. That would give you two paths to reach the table and you'd feel less closed in by the pinch point access. However, it would be narrow clearances on both sides of the island.
Consider removing the soffits to gain additional storage space, even if it's for seldom used items.
Hollysprings always has good ideas but in this one I will have to disagree with her. I would not switch the DW to the left side of the sink. I don't think clearances will work but the other problem is just simply zone-crossing. The cook can't be cleaning up as they are cooking as you will have to stand aside to put a dirty utensil or whatever into the DW. If someone is cleaning up at the end of a meal it becomes a one-person chore. You can't have one person filling the DW and then someone else cleaning the pots and pans off the stove and putting leftovers away. It just won't work.
Hi Liz! Do you think you will miss the storage you are losing by taking out the corner cabinet and the one above the peninsula? If you do need some of that storage, you can think about putting a counter-to-soffit wall cabinet next to the window, but have it just be a straight cab, flush against the wall. You can store glassware, dessert plates, or other dishes needed at table there. If it will be pretty things, you could put a glass door on it. Since it is accessible from the dinnette or kitchen, it is a handy place for plates needed there, for salt and pepper, napkins, morning pills.
With the slightly smaller dinette area, you may find that making a banquette bench for the seating on the half-wall side of the table makes sense. You can do both seat and back padding, to make it very comfortable. You won't be using it every day with just you and DH, but it will be comfortable enough for the kids to slide into when they come to visit, and it allows you to have the table move a little toward the half-wall. Then it won't feel crowded at all, losing the 6 inches to the kitchen!
If you or DH have carpentry skills, a simple banquette can be made box-style. Or have your carpenter do it. Make the seat on a piano hinge, and you have a lot of storage space inside, too. Or many companies make beautiful grown-up banquette seating (not like the little corner sets in the naked furniture stores!).
You can also consider taking out soffits. Sometimes there are ducts or pipes in them, though. Without soffits, you can go with taller cabinets and gain a lot of cabinet space. In your kitchen, though, you probably need to leave soffit above the window. If you do leave the soffits, you may want to have a can light put in the newly empty soffit above the peninsula to replace the under-cabinet light you will be losing.
A lot, if not most, kitchen people here have found that having drawer base cabinets is much more useful than base cabs with shelves. You have two 24" base drawers on the peninsula, and they can be good for holding dishes. I would suggest that the 36" base by the fridge also be a drawer base. It can hold your pots and pans. If you have not seen base drawers used this way, check out the finished kitchens blog.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nice grown-up dining bench
Thank you to all for the feedback. We also were considering a banquette in the eat-in kitchen. We cannot remove the half wall because there is a step down to the adjacent family room. How much space would it save to install the banquette? One drawback of the idea is that it would only be open on one end, sort of like diner seating. We could wrap it around the back wall as well, but I'm not sure that would be an improvement. To be honest, I think it is already rather cramped. Initially I thought it was a good idea to move the peninsula slightly, but now I am having misgivings.
Liz, how about taking out the wall, then creating a new wall by making a built in banquette? The seating will ensure that no one falls off the step down to the family room, and removing the wall gives you back space that you lost by moving the peninsula out. Any cabinetmaker can do the banquette seating. The same cabinetmaker could probably do the kitchen cabs custom, for about the same price as a big box store. Then the peninsula can be made a smidge narrower than 24" and you will have a more spacious feel than you have now.
Would you consider a corner sink? Placed to the left of the current dishwasher, to the right of the window, a corner sink would give you a bigger stretch of prep counter space between the sink and the stove. You would likely want something as a backstop, just in that corner, but if you remove the cabinets and soffits over the pennisula, the kitchen will still feel open to the eating area.
Between the sink and dishwasher you would have a landing area for dirty dishes, separate from where you prep. A cleaner-helper-second-cook could work there.
I know some folks don't like them, but in my first kitchen redo--a small NYC apartment--the corner sink gave me a stretch of prep space I really needed.

Career services advisors coach and advise groups and individuals on how to obtain a job. They may work in colleges and universities, as well as community centers, libraries, and charities. In academic settings, they help students with their search for a post-graduation job; additionally, they work to ensure that students are ready to compete in the current job market. Depending on the size of the school, these advisors may manage students from one particular degree program or from many different ones.Read More...
Career services advisors may provide counseling to individuals or groups to prepare them for a career. They hold seminars and mock interview sessions, as well as stay in communication with relevant industry hiring managers to provide current information to clients/students. In higher education settings, they may also create professional development opportunities for students, as well as manage and distribute references on their behalf.
Career services advisors generally work full time during regular business hours. However, they may host and/or staff events such as career fairs on weekends and evenings when hiring managers are available. Additionally, they may make appointments outside of normal business hours to be available to assist with resumé preparation.
Most institutions require at least a bachelor's degree for career service advisor positions. A master's degree is typically preferred. Career services advisors may also choose to become licensed vocational counselors. Advisors should have broad experience and knowledge of multiple industries, as well as maintain a large network of relationships across many industries to be of the most use to individuals in need of their assistance.
Career Services Advisors note just a narrow range of job skills. Customer Relations and Oral / Verbal Communication are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay by 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Skills that pay less than market rate include Recruiting.

In Texas, about a third of the state is experiencing moderate or worse drought (36%), and about 14% has extreme to exceptional drought conditions. In New Mexico, about two thirds of the state is experiencing moderate or worse drought (62%). Lake levels in these extreme drought areas are at or near historical lows for this time of year. Recent precipitation events have brought some drought relief, with no drought remaining over deep south, east central and southeast Texas into western Louisiana. The rainfall which is forecast the next five days over the WGRFC area will not be heavy enough to create new or additional runoff. ...HYDROLOGIC DISCUSSION... ...Sabine Basin... ...Moderate Flooding... Above Toledo Bend reservoir, elevated flows remain at Logansport (LPTL1). Reservoir releases have decreased this morning, so falling stages can be expected to begin to work their way downstream on the lower Sabine River. Moderate flood conditions continue at Bon Wier (BWRT2) and a slight additional rise over the next day to moderate flood stage is expected at Deweyville (DWYT2). ...Guadalupe Basin... ...Minor Flooding... Routed water is forecast to keep Bloomington (DUPT2) above minor flood level for a day or so more. ...Neches Basin... ...Minor Flooding... Widespread minor flooding continues throughout the Neches and Angelina River mainstems and associated bayous. Although minor flood conditions will continue through this week, most have crested and are slowly receding. Sam Rayburn Reservoir has resumed limited generation that will allow flood storage to be slowly evacuated. Lake Steinhagen releases will continue to hold near 20,000 CFS until Sam Rayburn Lake is able to completely evacuate the flood pool, likely via generation. This process is expected to take several weeks. ...San Bernard Basin... ...Higher Flow Non-Flood Forecasts... Higher flows occurred near East Bernard (EBBT2) is still above bankfull levels but receding. A secondary rise crested into minor flood stage near Boling (BOLT2). This reach of the river is expected to remain high over the next few days. Sweeny (SWYT2) will also fluctuate above action stage for several days. ...Trinity Basin... ...Higher Flow Non-Flood Forecasts... Bankfull flooding is still occurring in the lower Trinity at Liberty (LBYT2) and Moss Bluff (MBFT2) but are in recession with no significant rainfall in the forecast.. ...Brazos Basin... ...Higher Flow Non-Flood Forecasts... The Navasota River near Normangee (NGET2) is still above bankfull and continues to fall. ...Remainder of WGRFC Basins... Soils are very wet over east and southeast Texas after the recent rainfall episode. No significant rainfall is in the forecast for the next 5 days or so. ...SUPPLEMENTARY GRAPHICAL INFORMATION...

The Office
From the critics

No real comparison with the American Office Series is required, the UK is a classic in it's own right. This is the show tha launched many copies. The American characters are a little better fleshed that the ones on the UK series if only due to the greater amount of episodes, but it's basic formula come from this. I highly recommend it to any fan of subtle British Humour.
Funny but cruder than its American counterpart. I still like me some Michael Scott over this.
So much better than US version!
The conclusion to the original The Office series is well worth watching!
It seems hard to believe that this UK version of 'The Office' was able to generate so many successful, localized versions of the same. Most people know about the US version with Steve Carell, but there are versions in Germany, France, Quebec, Israel and now even in China. The thing is, this one isn't really that funny. The episodes are so hit and miss; a couple are hilarious, but mostly I found them to be awkward and boring. Ricky Gervais seems to be playing himself in this series, a guy who thinks he is much more funny than is true. It's okay, but I'd say just watch the US version.
I just don't get the popularity of this show (British or American version).
Brilliant, just brilliant. Not everybody gets Ricky Gervais, but if you do, you will love this. So much better than the American version.
The original and the best. David Brent is so awkward that it is painful to watch. Just thinking about "Monkey" makes me laugh.
I liked this (original) version just as much as I liked the NBC series. The very first episode of the US version is a virtual joke-for-joke copy of the UK show, but happily the two diverge from there. The humour in the British series is a little more subtle and dry, and the boundaries of good taste are pushed further (why do Americans seem to be so easily offended?).
The UK series works within a short (finite) time frame of just 2 season (composed of 14 episodes), so it ends before the viewer has a chance to grow tired of it (seriously, the NBC series should have ended at season 5).
Well worth the 2 month wait in the EPL hold queue!
"Biting" doesn't do this justice by half. Incredible stuff that goes well beyond what normally passes for comedy on television.

These photos have not been posted for their artistic merit; far from it. They are simply my personal account of the Brisbane Floods 2011 and how it has impacted my life. All photos have been taken in my local neighbourhood, no more than 500 metres from my home. I hope they are of interest to you.
There are plenty of snakes in Brisbane and I've seen many different species, however this is the first CARPET PYTHON I've come across. After the flood many animals were displaced and this beauty found her way into my neighbour's backyard. In urban areas they may be found draped across the boughs of trees or coiled quietly in the undergrowth, or even in the rooves of houses. This one was caught out in the open along the garden path. We met very late one evening and if not for the external house lights, I would have missed her or worse, had a 'too close' encounter. She didn't flinch but I launched like a missile. I estimate her length to be between 8 and 9 feet, and that's a big snake by any standard.
Pythons prefer warm-blooded prey. They kill by constriction and have heat-sensory pits along their lower jaw. These pits can detect temperature changes of less than one-thirtieth of one degree. When I saw this pose I thought she was ready to strike, but unbeknown to me my two cats were underneath the house on the other side of the path, not more than 5 feet away. I didn't see them at first but that explains the snake's posture; she could sense their body heat. They all sat quietly just looking at each other and no one was game to move an inch. It was a standoff!
After a few phone calls I managed to track down the local snake catcher and he recommended we just leave her be; she'd find a nice cozy spot somewhere and stay out of the way. They are good for keeping vermin at bay and also deter other snakes like eastern browns or red belly black snakes from entering the area. That's fine by me but the cats seem none too pleased. They'd been behaving very oddly for a couple of weeks prior and seemed very cautious… and nervous. Obviously they were aware of the python's presence long before I was.
You'll notice she's got a pretty full stomach. Unable to eat a cat, she could certainly kill one so my cats' nervousness was well justified. I can only assume in this case that some poor possum or flying fox had met an untimely end. Rats, birds and other small animals are much easier prey to digest.
Photos taken with Canon IXUS 80 IS and edited with Lightzone. SIMPLICITY is my niche!
After much ado it was time for a quick getaway up the nearest tree. We had no intention of stopping her.
Great shot – I wouldn't want to meet up with her either
It's a pity we met late at night. I'd much rather natural light than a flash but at least I got to take a few pics. I feel very priveledged to have seen her. Such a beautiful creature. My cats were very spooked and were just on the other side of the path under the house. That's why the snakes head is raised… sensing the heat. It had nothing to do with me and it's not a strike pose although she would have bitten because I almost trod on her.
– Neil Ross
great capture mate
Cheers mate. The right place at the right time :D
– Neil Ross
the right time? bit subjective mate lol
Well, it could have been an eastern brown snake. They're savage bastards. A mate was chased over 50 metres and this thing wouldn't let up. Pythons are very docile by comparison. Look but don't touch is the safest option. this one wasn't aggressive and even when she was captured she was more intent on escaping. At no stage was there any sign of aggression.
– Neil Ross
Oh, no thanks. Is this what the floods brought in?
Yeah It did but not until a few weeks later. Their usual hangouts are disturbed, I'd say in this case by rebuilding. They're shy and retiring creatures so they just move to quieter areas. The houses in my area haven't started rebuilding yet so she popped in for a visit. How cool is that :D
– Neil Ross
Uh, looks like she just ate something rather big! Don't think I'd be real happy to see one of these around my house! What happened to her? She's a beauty.
She's had a good feed on something. My neighbour found her a few days later up in a tree near her front door. We had her (the snake) relocated. Probably the best thing for all concerned but I did feel just a bit sad. She is such a beautiful animal.
– Neil Ross
Very interesting Neil – and you went through the trauma of the floods – such devastation for so many! Back to your snake – I saw a carpet python similar to this, when up in Qld (although not nearly as big as this one!), and i was struck by how beautiful it was – I was most surprised!
We all survived the floods and are just getting on with it. The snake was a wonderful surprise. I felt very sad when she was located, and if not for the kids and cats she would have been more than welcomed to stay. Pythons are the most beautiful creatures.
– Neil Ross
these snakes are def. my fav. besides the green snake ….. did you see the photo on the net of a frog sitting on the back of a snake that was swimming down the river in the flood ????
I didn't watch TV for about a month after the flood itself. I missed so much but had plenty of other stuff to keep me busy. The snake and the frog must have looked so cool. I guess predators and prey know the difference between the instinct to eat and survival. Thanks for your comment :D
– Neil Ross
OMG Neil…I would not be too happy that they didn't come and take this guy away. I shutter to think that it could be up in a tree nearby and drop on someone or something. Yikes! Great capture of it Neil! Be careful!!
I was kind of sad when she left but also breathed a sigh of relief. It was an awesome experience though.
– Neil Ross
I just read where the snake was relocated! Whew. I feel better now. lol I know you and your cats do too. :))
She was relocated down at the cemetery not too far from here. Lots of trees and hiding places so a really good home where she won't come to any harm. Snakes are protected in this country but that doesn't mean people won't kill them. I think we did the right time for everyone's sake, including the snake.
– Neil Ross
Incredible shot
I shudder to think what would have happened had the lights not been on. I'm the one who was taken by surprise. She was so beautiful and I felt sad when she was relocated. Best for all concerned I guess.
– Neil Ross

Moviehole's Gareth Von Kallenbach was at Blizzcon and had a chance to chat to the chaps behind the exceedingly popular "World of Warcraft" game, namely Prez Mike Morhaime, about whether or not we will ever see the oft-rumoured film version.
We're told "there are still plans for a World of Warcraft movie†and that "the script is being written but if they say anything more than that they will be shotâ€.
In other words, it ain't coming anytime soon – but they'd still like to do it.
Though no director has been set for the movie, the film is said to be set a year before the events of the game and fix on an all-new hero.

Atlanta Falcons
|By Rusty Reeves, Friday, September 12, 2014
QB Matt Ryan - Solid/Safe Pick
BOUNCE-BACK: Matt Ryan was viewed as a bit of a letdown in 2013. Coming off career highs in passing yards and touchdowns in 2012, everyone and their brother had Ryan projected to be one of the elite QBs. He passed for 200 fewer yards, six fewer touchdowns and threw three more interceptions. We're optimists here, and we have Ryan ranked as the No. 7 QB for 2014 for a reason: he and his offensive playmakers can be really good. He was without stud WR Julio Jones for 11 games. WR Roddy White played through nagging injuries and didn't truly get healthy until the last few games of the year. RB Steven Jackson was supposed to give the Falcons a running game that would help them open it up a bit, but he tore his hammy in Week 2 and ultimately missed four games. The offensive line was like a piece of Swiss cheese, allowing 44 sacks (third worst in the league). Despite all this, Ryan still finished fourth in the league in passing yards (4,515) and ninth in TDs (26). White and Jackson should be back this year. The offensive line was addressed in the off-season.
Editor's note: Last year, the Falcons bottomed out offensively. It seems like a foregone conclusion that Ryan will lead Atlanta to an improved record and a more effecient offense. Injuries would have to pile up yet again for Ryan to be denied.

Why not get a new laptop? Better value for your money.
Posted 30 May 2011 - 17:30
Posted 30 May 2011 - 17:57
The problem with that is you're stuck with the older generation of CPU's, older GPU, etc. There is a limit to the performance you're going to get by just upgrading the CPU, and it would be a temporary fix. The core i3/i5/i7 offer much better efficiency per clock and that would be the way to go. Not to mention, if you do decided to upgrade your CPU, and you mess up, you're out the cost of the CPU + you're looking at a new laptop anyways. You're also not going to fix the heat issue by upgrading to a faster CPU, it may in fact make it worse.

Is this new HVAC system a good deal?
Hi, I'm remodeling an old Victorian row home -- two stories plus basement, about 2,700 sq. ft. -- in Washington, D.C., and need to install an HVAC system. The options are pretty confusing. (First-time homebuyer here!) This is what one company is proposing after doing a manual J load calculation -- does it seem like a good deal? Any input would be helpful, thanks!
3.5 ton Heating & Cooling System:
1. Furnish and install one (1) new SpacePak- 3-3.5 ton, 410a Puron, high velocity air handler. Model # ESP3642.
2. Furnish and install one (1) new SpacePak - 15 kw heater package. Model # AC-EPAK-15.
3. Furnish and install one (1) new Carrier - 3.5 ton, 410a Puron, 13 SEER, heat pump. Model # 25HBC342W003.
4. Furnish and install one (1) new Honeywell- digital, programmable thermostat. Model # PRO 6000.
5. Furnish and install new insulated SpacePak duct work system: take offs, 3" supply tubing, attenuators, supply outlets, return flex duct, return box, and return grille with filter.
6. Furnish and install new: insulated refrigerant line set, control wire, platform, condensate drain, condensate pump, vinyl discharge tubing, condenser pad, disconnect box, power whip, and surge protector.
7. Connect to existing: power wire.
8. Pull vacuum below 350 microns to ensure no leaks or moisture in system.

� Cost to perform installation: $5,416.00.
Wow! I didn't realize that you could spend that much money on central air/heat. I could buy my next hybrid SUV with $28k.
Just like installers have their 400 sqft/ton for equipment, I'm coming up with the homeowners rule of thumb which is $5k per 1000 sqft for a base 13 to 14 SEER system per floor.
So, my flawed estimate says you should be paying closer to $15k for 3 floors and about 2700 sqft.
so you have to install ductwork & upgrade electrical
to install hvac system (s)?
what type heating cooling is in place now?
have you gotten other bids?
I'd always get several bids. different contractors
will have different ideas of how to install ducts
& equipment.
shop around a bit more.
its a big investment that will effect your
comfort & affordability for a long time/
best of luck.

City of Hermosa Beach Postmidnight Business Hours, Measure B (November 2013)
|Voting on
Business Regulation
|Ballot Measures
|By state
|By year
|Not on ballot
If approved, this measure would have phased in earlier closing times for restaurants and bars in the downtown area, which, without Measure B, have closing restrictions on a case-by-case basis. The measure would have required the changing of closing times from Sunday through Wednesday to 12:00 A.M. over five years and the changing of closing times from Thursday to Saturday to 1:00 A.M. The measure was put on the ballot by initiative petition.[1][2]
Election results
|Measure B
- These final, certified results are from the Los Angeles County elections office.
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
|Shall an ordinance be adopted to incrementally, over a five-year period, reduce the postmidnight operating hours of specified businesses in the downtown area of Hermosa Beach?[1][3]
The full text of the ordinance that would be approved by Measure B is available here.
Proponents said that measure B would create a fairer balance between the business community and the residential community and put a stop to problems with rowdy and loud activity downtown at late hours. Those supporting Measure B also said that it was essential to eliminate the need for the disproportionate police presence in the downtown area, distracting from the needs of other portions of the community. Measure B supporters cited data that shows the 6-1/2 block lower downtown region is only 2% of the City's land area but generates a 25% of police calls.[2][1]
ElectionForum.com endorsed Measure B.[4]
The Hermosa Beach Council opposed this measure and argued, in the official voter guide arguments, that a "one size fits all" solution is not the best way to go and that the city takes appropriate steps to regulate closing times for businesses that cause problems.
The council also pointed to the possibility of expensive lawsuits over possible property rights violations contained within the initiative ordinance.[1]
Impartial Analysis
Below is the full text of an impartial analysis prepared by the city attorney:
Current city law allows by right restaurants that do not serve alcohol or that serve beer and wine only and close by 10:00 p.m. Restaurants and bars that serve alcohol or stay open past 10:00 p.m. are given individual closing times by conditional use permits ("CUP") issued on a case-by-case basis. The city also offers certain incentives in operating conditions if a restaurant voluntarily reduces its post-midnight hours. Hours of most other types of businesses are not regulated.
The Measure would amend the Hermosa Beach General Plan, zoning ordinance and zoning map in order to establish new closing times for downtown businesses that are zoned C-2, with some exemptions. The new closing times for non-exempt businesses would be phased in over a period of one to five years beginning in April, 2014. Closing times Sunday through Wednesday would be gradually reduced from 2:00 a.m. to 12:00 Midnight over a five-year period. Closing times Thursday through Saturday would be gradually reduced to 1:00 a.m. over a one and a half-year period. The city Council could designate up to five nights per year when downtown businesses could stay open past these new closing times.
The proposed new closing times would be imposed through a new "Time Restricted (T-O) overlay zone" on properties located in the C-2 zone within the "downtown" area of the City, defined as the area between 8th and 16th Streets and between the Strand and Manhattan Avenue. Existing incentives encouraging voluntary reduction in late night hours for alcohol-serving businesses would be unavailable to restaurants and bars in the downtown area until April 1, 2018.
The Measure would apply both to new businesses and to existing businesses regardless of whether they have CUPs that permit post-midnight hours or have no specified closing time. Eighteen restaurants and bars in the downtown area are permitted by CUP to operate until 2:00 a.m. or are unrestricted as to hours by the City. Although the Measure is not restricted to restaurants and bars, its primary impact will be on those uses, as few other businesses in the downtown are open past midnight. The application of the proposed ordinance to existing businesses with post-midnight operating hours raises fact-specific legal questions that may be resolved differently for individual businesses on a case-by-case basis.
The new closing times would not apply to these exempt businesses: lodging (motels and hotels), emergency medical facilities, parking lots, business offices and stores that sell alcohol for off-site consumption.
A "yes" vote favors adoption of the ordinance. A "no" vote opposes adoption of the ordinance. A majority of "yes" votes is required for the measure to pass. If adopted, this ordinance could not be changed or repealed without voter approval.[1][3]

I've just published my first mobile/tablet game for Android: Gravitomania
I'll be extremely grateful for your feedback! But please remember - this game was intended to be difficult.
Free download: Google Play Link
The game uses physics with a gravity flip. I've spent months designing levels so they are really challenging (especially the later ones), even though they might seem simple on first sight.
The game has got this old-school feeling, with robots, lasers, forcefields etc. First 12 levels are free to play, accessing all others require a single IAP (one for all). No hidden additional costs, etc.
The "Magical Game Studio" is a brand I created to release my games under.
I've bought some AdMob ads to have over 100 downloads, to make sure the game doesn't crash too often.
Dev platform used: Corona SDK.
Please let me know what you think! Thanks!

I just did my 4the batch tonight..I got a kit from AHS for Boddingtons pub ale...My OG was 1.054 and the target was 1.044 according to teh directions...should I be worried about being high? The other three batches I did hit right on the mark. I did upgrade to the White Labs pitchable liquid yeast...will this make a difference in attenuation?
Was your wort evenly distributed when you took your reading?
are you sure you topped up to a full 5 gallons?
There's virtually no way for an extract batch to be above the expected OG, unless you intentionally added extra fermentables.

Hi: 13° Lo:4°
By Rob George Friday 16 November 2012 Updated: 16/11 11:20
A FURIOUS row has broken out between councillors and a group which promotes Droitwich Spa over the potential creation of a major planning blueprint for the town.
Members of For Droitwich Spa bitterly criticised the decision by Droitwich Town Council to delay production of a Neighbourhood Plan and accused councillors of blocking residents from having their say.
But Coun Roy Murphy, chairman of the town council's planning committee, hit back and said the council would act in the best interests of residents.
The furore began when councillors voted to delay production of a plan at a meeting on October 29 despite securing a £20,000 grant for the purpose in May.
Neighbourhood Plans form part of the Government's 2011 Localism Act and are designed to give residents a greater say on future housing and business developments and also shape the future growth of businesses in the town.
But any failure to develop a plan could see major planning applications such as large-scale housing developments be approved in the absence of a legally-binding local vision
In a statement on www.droitwichspa.com, For Droitwich Spa said: "The council have decided a plan is of no value to the community and as the elected representatives they will make the decisions.
"Devolution of powers to the community appears to be a step too far and they will not even discuss with the community the pros and cons of a plan.
"This is in spite of offers from community groups to help and get on with discussions," he added
But Coun Murphy said the total cost of a plan would be nearer to £60,000 and local taxpayers could be asked to meet the
increased costs.
"High cost decisions are taken only where there is a strong probability of a positive outcome. Hesitation is essential where the costs are certain but the outcome isn't," he added.
"Under the circumstances, therefore, Droitwich Town Council is adopting a cautious approach and will consider Neighbourhood Planning in due course as and when circumstances change."

AC Milan and front-runners Napoli meet in the Serie A late on Sunday at the Giuseppe Meazza, with both coming off successful starts into the Champions League.
Napoli upset last year's finalists Borussia Dortmund 2-1 to delight the 60,000 fans at the San Paolo, while Milan got a late 2-0 against Celtic. "Being Argentine and remembering what Maradona represented for Napoli, I feel the passion and the love that comes from this public," said new signing Gonzalo Higuain in reference to Diego maradona's successful spell at the club in the 1980s.
Defender Ignazio Abate and midfielder Andrea Poli are due back against Napoli, while Kaka and Riccardo Montolivo remain on the Devils' long injured list.
"It was the win of a group that in a difficult moment got onto the pitch with solidity, winning and not conceding goals," Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said.
"Now let's get ready for Napoli, who are playing well with the imprint (new coach Rafael) Benitez gave them in such a short time."
Roma are also benefiting from a change of coach, and from the amazing form of evergreen striker Francesco Totti. The 36-year-old is to captain the team of Rudi Garcia on Sunday afternoon against cross-town Lazio.
With a history of violence between rival fans and against police, the Rome derby worries authorities, who are considering to have the big match played away from the capital to prevent clashes.
Champions Juventus are at home to promoted Verona after a disappointing 1-1 draw at minnows Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan Altima
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.1
In the crowded mid-size family sedan segment, Nissan's 2012 Altima remains a viable alternative to the Honda Accord, Chevrolet Malibu and Volkswagen Passat. Although starting to show its age, the 2012 Altima Sedan still has much to offer. While it's not as sleek or modern as the Kia Optima or Hyundai Sonata, the Altima is still an attractive car with a very sporty side that makes it a favorite among enthusiast-oriented drivers who need four doors. With a choice of 4- or 6-cylinder engines, and even a hybrid model, the 2012 Altima Sedan covers a wide price bracket with features ranging from basic needs to cutting edge. Regrettably, Nissan has chosen to drop its manual transmission, even from the V6 cars, leaving a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) as the only choice. The CVT is excellent for maximizing fuel economy and power, and it even features a program to make it feel as though it is shifting gears like a traditional transmission. But, if you want to know the joy of shifting for yourself, you'll have to look to the Honda Accord, Kia Optima or Mazda Mazda6 for that thrill.
The 2012 Nissan Altima Sedan is a car with multiple personalities. In base form, it serves those seeking a low-cost source of secure transportation while still enjoying some nice standard features. Go big, and you can be driving a potent V6-powered sport sedan loaded with everything from a Bose audio system to voice-activated navigation.
If the "newest and the latest" are a big part of your car-buying criteria, the aging 2012 Nissan Altima probably won't excite you. The Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata offer fresher skin and cost less when comparably equipped. Others worth considering include the VW Passat, Dodge Charger and Toyota Camry.
Changes for 2012 are limited to a new Value Package that includes Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, auto on/off headlights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and HomeLink. Bluetooth is now standard on the 3.5 SR and available on the 2.5 S.
Driving Impressions The key to the 2012 Nissan Altima Sedan's longevity is a rigid body structure that helps boost the car's sporty driving characteristics. Even the base cars with their smaller wheel...and tire packages and 4-cylinder engines are fun to drive. The action gets more intense when you move the V6-powered 3.5 SR, which offers 270 horses under the hood, bigger wheels, and a performance suspension. Again, there are newer and better suspensions out there, but the Altima still offers a pleasant combination of comfortable ride and good handling that should satisfy all but the most hard-core drivers. The Altima Sedan's 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) deliver competent and consistent stops, and the standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) adds both driver-selectable stability and traction controls to deliver an extra measure of confidence.
Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
Xtronic is Nissan's third-generation CVT. This computer-controlled stepless shifter helps improve performance and economy and lessen emissions. In Sport mode, it even creates six "virtual" gears that closely approximate the response of a conventional manual gearbox.
Optional 2.5 SL Package
This fashionable extras' group gives buyers who want a more fuel-efficient 4-cylinder Altima 2.5 S virtually all of the main upscale trappings of a 3.5 SR, adding leather upholstery, power and heated front seats, rear air vents, HomeLink universal garage-door opener and numerous lesser luxury touches.
The 2012 Nissan Altima Sedan's cabin is a handsome design that has stood the test of time well. Nissan adds a generous helping of quality plastics and soft-touch surfaces, as well as numerous storage spots for drinks, cell phones and valuables. Controls are logically placed and easy to view, backlit with white or red lighting. The instrument cluster houses the tachometer, speedometer, fuel and temp gauges, again with white font and bright red needles. As for comfort, we found the Altima Sedan's seats a bit soft, needing more in the way of lateral and lower back support. Rear-seat accommodations are fine for two adults, but those needing maximum head or legroom will probably want to look elsewhere, perhaps at the Dodge Charger or Honda Accord. The Altima's 60/40 rear split-bench seat can be folded down, accessing the 15.3-cubic-foot trunk.Exterior
Covered in traditional Nissan styling details, the 2012 Altima Sedan is trying to keep pace with a rapidly expanding field of newer, fresher competitors, but it's getting tougher every year. New wheel designs help the car look current, as do little touches such as the available rear spoiler and bright metallic paint. Upper-end trims include foglights, chrome trim around the deck lid and tailpipes, and integrated turn signals in the side mirrors.
Even the low-volume, 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 base model includes anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, power locks, air conditioning and push-button start/stop. The 2.5 S, which accounts for the majority of all Altima sales, adds an audio system with CD player, Intelligent Key keyless entry and offers the luxury-oriented SL Package as an option. In addition to its V6 power the 3.5 SR appeals to driving enthusiasts with its sport-tuned suspension and performance tires. On the safety front, all Altimas feature front, front-side and side-curtain airbags.
An impressive array of upgrade packages is offered for all but the base 2.5. Even the 2.5 S can be outfitted with leather upholstery, a dual-zone climate-control system, power moonroof, voice-activated navigation system, premium Bose audio system, XM Satellite Radio, rearview camera and lots more. The 3.5 SR offers a Premium Package that adds heated front seats, driver's-side power lumbar support, rearview monitor and Bose audio with nine speakers. The Technology Package adds Nissan's next-generation hard-drive navigation and audio unit complete with streaming Bluetooth, real-time traffic and weather updates and Zagat restaurant review guide.
Conventional 2012 Altima Sedans offer the choice of an in-line-4 cylinder engine or a V6. Both engines are made from lightweight aluminum, have four valves per cylinder and use continuously-variable valve timing to improve response and efficiency across their entire operating ranges. The 2.5-liter four develops a solid 175 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque while the 3.5-liter V6 raises those figures to 270 and 258, respectively. Nissan's Xtronic CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) is the only transmission choice.
2.5-liter in-line 4
175 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
170 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm (California)
180 lb-ft of torque @ 3,900 rpm

Okay...basically I think this car is nice looking too...I have leather, heated power seats...Bose sound, moon/sun roof, Bluetooth, auto headlights etc., none of which I have had before....this is all a lovely, fun, and since used, affordable dream to me, which I absolutely deserve.

"I bought this car in the summer when there was no snow. I purchased it because of the ratings on gas mileage and because it is roomy inside but still looks somewhat sporty. I have driven in snowy/icy road conditions for thirty years and this is by far the worst handling car I have ever owned for these type of conditions. This is with new all weather tires. The ride is smooth on pavement but if you go over any type of speed bump, enter/exit a parking lot with any type of hump/bump you will bottom out. And that is going as slow as possible and still actually moving. It's also got some type of felt like/fabric covering on the wheel wells, which I don't understand. Snow and ice builds up on it and rubs the tires consistently. I do like the fact that it is roomy and comfortable to drive and I get about 28 mpg highway in cold temps."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 34,000overall rating 4 of 10rating details
Pros: "Easy to drive sporty quick subwoofer cool car"
Cons: "small not cheap bad in snow not good mileage"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4
"80% of the reason I bought the car was the salesperson claimed 32mpg average. Turns out one person got 32mpg with straight highway driving. I'm getting 24-25 with 90% highway driving and cold weather. NO long warmups. Not easy to enter/exit for a fit 60 year old, but I knew that. I just thought I could handle it. Sporty handling means jarring bumps. Low ride height means you can't see well down the road. Headlights are not the best even with upgraded bulbs (not HID). No fog lights on mid-range model?? Corners well. Brakes don't stop well for such a light car, until you're nearly stopped, then they really grab. Not easy to see out of. Four headrests and 3rd brake light occupy much of the rear view mirror. Not worth squat in snow. Tires spin and brakes anti-lock. Tires are Michelin MX4, Consumer Report's top-rated tire. Trunk is large and so is the gas tank. Most panels are held together with plastic buttons. Superficially, this is a neat car. Am I just getting old? What in the world was I thinking when I bought this car??"

Florida Man Tattoos Black Widow Spider On His Face
Originally published on Wed February 26, 2014 7:43 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A Florida man decided to face his fear of spiders by tattooing a huge black widow on his face. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that 24-year-old Eric Ortiz chose to ink the arachnid because, quote, everybody fears spiders, and he wanted to see what people think. The lifelike tattoo has gotten reactions from startled jumps to you will never get a job. One person who does not think it's cool - his girlfriend. It's MORNING EDITION.
