Tile store - anyone ever encountered this?
sjhockeyfan325October 15, 2013
We went to a tile and slab store yesterday. They had a fabulous selection of tile. However, all the tile boards were affixed to the wall so you couldn't move them around to see one tile with another, or with a granite or marble slab. I asked if they could, and they told me they weren't movable. Very odd.

There are so many that I just figure why mess with a shop that doesn't put their customer's first.

For this application - is there a PID you recc? Looks like a lot of people like the K type probe.
Now that I am seeing all this though - it looks like the PID with temp probe would be best for the mash tun and a PWM might be better for the boil kettle. Does that sound right?
By the way thanks for the link
Man,... That's a lotta hooch!Steel rig in progressebuild info
Most people prefer to use the RTD thermal sensors but the PIDs can use just about any type.
Single Vessel BIAB is all I need....Until we figure out the no vessel technique.
I went with a HERMS because it's possible to go 100% electric with only a single heater element and a single PID. Plus, I don't have a dedicated heating device like the RIMS tube. I converted my old copper IC into the HERMS coil, and I can still use it for chilling the wort after the boil.
Cool, I like the idea of your set up. no frills on the hardware but functional. I have to check out a few picks and diagrams of the herms build, and determine what power capacity I have to push into my garage....
Crap I just realized that my garage breaker has a double pole 15 amp and a single pole 20 amp. I need to get an electrician in here to tell me how much power I have left on my main box. Otherwise it looks like might be running a little thin.
take a look in your main panel, you should see a breaker for the garage sub-panel in there. My garage sub-panel was driven by a 40A double pole (240V) breaker. It was pretty easy to then install a 240V breaker in my garage sub-panel and install a dryer plug a few feet below the panel.

State drought offically called 'over'
It's finally over. The Drought-of-2012 officially ended in Wisconsin this morning, when the U.S. Drought Monitor said no place in the state is abnormally dry any longer.
After the extended winter and the recent heavy rains, you may have assumed that Wisconsin is so water-logged, it's hard to believe that any place could still have drought conditions. The Minocqua area was the final holdout, losing its drought status just this past week.

Wikipedia:Peer review/2003 Afro-Asian Games/archive1
2003 Afro-Asian Games[edit]
- A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for June 2009.
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I really want to obtain comments and feedbacks about this article. I desire to promote this article, first to Good Article status and then to featured article status.
Suggestions on improvement are most welcome. If you would like to suggest changes, please do so in my talk page or the article's talk page.
Ankitbhatt (talk) 08:03, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Ruhrfisch comments: Suggestions will be made here as that is what peer review is for. This has a long way to go before it would meet the GA requirements, and further to go to pass at WP:FAC. So here are some suggestions for improvement towards GA and FA.
- The lead does not really follow WP:LEAD. For one thing it needs to be expanded to 3 or 4 paragraphs given the length of the article.
- The lead should be an accessible and inviting overview of the whole article, so nothing important should be in the lead only - since it is a summary, it should all be repeated in the body of the article itself. My rule of thumb is to include every header in the lead in some way
- I am confused by the lead. The first paragraph says More than 2000 athletes from 96 countries competed in the Games. A total of 129 events in eight disciplines were conducted. Also, 120 countries sent oficial representatives to these Games. then the second paragraph says These Games, however, had less scope, since 96 nations participated in only 8 sports. Since these were the first games, what is the comparison to in "These Games ... had less scope"? Less scope than what?
- Make sure to provide context for the reader - who came up with the idea for the games originally? Or link Rupee and crore in " Rs.103 crores See WP:PCR
- Article has a lot of short (one or two sentence) prargaphs and sections that need to either be combined with others or perhaps expanded to improve article flow.
- Article needs more references, for example the stadium sections are largely unreferenced. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref.
- Internet refs need URL, title, author if known, publisher and date accessed. {{cite web}} and other cite templates may be helpful. See WP:CITE and WP:V
- Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source - see current ref 10
- Look at WP:WIAGA - GA criteria- and WP:WIAFA - FA criteria to see where this needs to go.
- A model article is useful for ideas and examples to follow - see Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Sport_and_recreation and as a possible model FA 1896 Summer Olympics
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Phoenix Suns
Alvin Gentry responds to Marcin Gortat interview
Phoenix Suns head coach Alvin Gentry responded to a Polish interview in which his starting center, Marcin Gortat, expressed he was unhappy with his current offensive role.
"I'm glad he did," Gentry said of Gortat's remarks. However, Gentry wasn't quick to defend the "Polish Machine," claiming that the Suns "try to throw him the ball and we will try to give him the ball as much as we possibly can."
In the interview, Gortat described being one-on-one with his back to the basket as one of his "strongest variants."
Gentry disagreed.
"We would love to be able to throw him the ball, have him post up and score for us, but that hadn't been one of his strengths really," Gentry said.
Instead, Gentry wants to continue to use Gortat in the same ways that made him successful last season.
"Screen and rolling to the basket, athletic enough that he can get defensive rebounds, running in the open court like he did last year," Gentry said. "Nothing's changed from last year."
Gortat is averaging 11 points per game and averaging 9.3 field goal attemps per game this season, both of which are fewer than last year's averages.

The Space
Our two bed guestroom and its bathroom open onto a corridor a bit apart from the other family bedrooms. The flat is on the ground floor, just a few steps up. It is in a quiet location, just a few minutes from the old town center, and well connected by public transport; just 1 km to the station and the Reggio Children International Center (by the way, our children have attended preschools here and we still have lots of memories to share). Parking is not an issue. And we have a couple of bikes to lend you if you want to cycle a bit around, which is the best way to discover Reggio Emilia. Breakfast is included, as well as the use of sheets and towels, shampoo, soap and shower foam. Free WiFi connection is provided, as well as a computer for checking your mail and making voip calls. In the bathroom there's a (website hidden) is in the living room, which is shared with the rest of the family (we are four, but seldom all home).

Firstly, my encounter with Lorena and Franco,Anna is my treasure! Lorena gave me a lot of support for my learning at Reggio Emilia by her children's story and great breakfast and cozy room. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my stay in Reggio even more. I moved around the town every day because I could rent a bicycle. The location is very good. Lorena loves travel too, so there are many interesting and beautiful ornaments from around the world. I felt warm heart. I'll surely come back to her home again!! Grazie mille, Lorena!
Lorena and her wonderful family were warm, generous and filled with knowledge and passion about their city and surrounding region. Their home was clean, welcoming and central. I enjoyed my stay tremendously and would not choose to stay anywhere else when I return to Reggio Emilia. Thank you!
Una familia absolutamente reggiana que refleja la filosofía del curso que fui a hacer en el Centro Internacional Loris Maraguzzi. Un placer haberlos conocido! Una alegría inmensa haber compartido esos días en Reggio con Lorena, Franco, Anna y Pietro!!!!
Our stay in Reggio Emilia was brief, yet memorable! Our reservation through Airbnb provided us with the great fortune of staying at the home of Lorena Gilli. What a treat! We enjoyed meeting Lorena and her husband and son in their lovely home, sharing an amazing breakfast and visiting with them. What a delight. They were so very helpful to us; giving us directions and helping us plot the rest of our wonderful trip to Italy. Our accommodations were beautiful as well as comfortable. We could not have asked for more, what with our comfortable beds, private bath, and wi-fi access. Not to mention the beautiful and delicious food. Thank you, Lorena and family! I hope we meet again.
Pirie and Stephen Smith
I wish to be a better English writter to describe how much I enjoyed to stay at Lorena's apartment and also to get to know this good hearted woman and her family. Everything was just perfect, my bedroom and bathroom were very roomy, clean, clear, confortable, good wii fii and even a notebook for me to use, very quiet, good sleep! The apartment is very well located, I could walk everywhere in the city and very close to the trainstation.
Lorena and her husband Franco are just the perfect hosts! They treated me so well, helping me with everything I needed, that sometimes I wish I had them around here taking care of me!!!
I felt blessed to be at their home and I'm very thankful to them. Hope see you again someday, Lorena, Franco and Pietro. Please feel welcome to come visit Brazil, anytime! Let me know if you need anything from here!
I am so grateful for the care I received at Lorena's house, and the comfort of their home. Unfortunately Lorena was away on business and I missed out on meeting her, but her lovely children, Anna and Pietro and her mother took such good care of me and accommodated my early schedule so graciously. I felt immediately at home, was provided with regional specialties and homemade breakfast each morning and lovely conversations, as well. It was nice to have the quiet tranquility of their home to relax in, as well! I look forward to my next stay with Lorena and her family!
E' stata la mia prima esperienza con Air B and B e non poteva andare meglio. L' accoglienza è stata straordinaria, con tanto di passaggio in auto dalla stazione, ottima cena preparata da un giovane ospite di talento, gradevolissima compagnia e una ricca colazione. La stanza è deliziosa, curata e silenziosa ed ho avuto un bagno tutto per me. Insomma consiglierei a tutti l' ospitalità di Lorena e famiglia e certamente tornerò alla prima occasione.
We are a family of 4. My husband and I work for an Italian non profit organization, and the two kids are at the university, one for fine arts and the other engineering. We like travelling, and getting to know different people, places and cultures. Hosting is in a sense very much like travelling, and this is why we like it.

Francis Jammes Poems
It Is Going To Snow
It is going to snow in a few days. I remember This time last year. My heart, O how it bled! Had I been asked: 'What ails thee?' I should have said: 'Nothing. Leave me alone. It is December.'
The Cricket's Song
Last night the cricket sang when all was still. I cannot tell you what he sang about. His singing made the darkness thicker still. The sad flame of my candle lengthened out.
The Forest Paths
The forest paths are muddy, after the rain; The meadows are soaked through and through again. The blackbirds in the yellow osiers sing, The yellow osiers good for basketing.
You Come When the Sun Sinks Low
You come when the sun sinks low, accompanied by the hum of bees. You come laughing with your red mouth fierce, like the flowers of pomegranates.
Prayer To Go To Paradise With the Asses
O God, when You send for me, let it be Upon some festal day of dusty roads. I wish, as I did ever here-below By any road that pleases me, to go
The Dead Child
A small house with a dog in front ... O my love! Tonight, this rose is wet. In the big park, by the rusty gate, I walk with you in a timeless dream.
Do Not Console Me
Do not console me. I should not have heard. If dreams, which were the only wealth I wist, Leave my dark threshold whereon squats the mist, I shall be ready, and shall speak no word.
I Love ...
I Love in old days Clara d'Ellébeuse, The school-girl of old boarding-schools, Who, on warm evenings, sat beneath the limes, Reading the magazines of olden times.
Lass, when they talk of love, laugh in their face. They find not love who seek it far and wide. Man is a cold, hard brute. Your timid grace Will leave his coarse desires unsatisfied.
The Old Village
The old village was with roses filled, And I went wandering in the heat of the day, And, after, o'er the sleeping leaves that chilled The feet that walked among them where they lay.
Madame de Warens
Mademe De Warens, you would watch the storm Folding the dark trees of your sad Charmettes, Or else you played the spinet, in a fret, You clever woman whom Jean-Jacques would scold.
The Fever
The brooms glow in the desolate moors; on the ochre hills, the heather sings: But you cannot heal my sad heart or ease The memory of my poor dead child.
There Are Days in June
There are days in June that seem to be December. Thus sometimes the substance of this room or more accurately the people in it who pray silently start up in the midst of happiness and alter, bewitched by a murmur from the calm foliage.

It Is Going To Snow
It is going to snow in a few days. I remember
This time last year. My heart, O how it bled!
Had I been asked: 'What ails thee?' I should have said:
'Nothing. Leave me alone. It is December.'
O those bad thoughts! I had no good of them,
This time last year when heavy snow was cloaking
The world outside. And now as then I am smoking
A pipe of briar-wood with an amber stem.
And still my old oak chest of drawers smells good.
But I was foolish, for these things can never
Be changed, and they do only pose as clever
Who drives away the things bred in their ...

Xcel: Wind power notches new record in January
- Cathy Proctor
- Reporter- Denver Business Journal
- Email | Facebook | Twitter
Colorado's windy plains generated records for electricity production in January, Xcel Energy Inc. said Monday.
About 1 a.m. on Jan. 16, Xcel's Colorado system carried a record total of 1,960 megawatts of wind power for an hour, enough to support the demands of about 490,000 homes. The wind power accounted for 51 percent of all the electricity Xcel was carrying on its system at that time, said Mark Stutz, spokesman for Xcel (NYSE: XEL).
Xcel set a nationwide record in April 2012 when wind power provided 57 percent of the electricity the utility delivered in Colorado during one hour of that day. No other utility has carried such a high percentage of wind power on its system for an hour, according to Xcel.
Colorado ranked 10th in new wind generation in 2012, adding new wind farms that year capable of generating a total of 496 megawatts, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), based in Washington, D.C.
AWEA has ranked Xcel the No. 1 wind power utility in the nation for several years. At the end of 2011, Xcel had more than 4,000 megawatts of wind power on its electrical system in the eight states it serves. In Colorado, Xcel's contracted wind farms, when operating at full capacity, can supply 2,177 megawatts of electricity, Stutz said.
The amount of megawatts Xcel received from wind power was boosted in 2012 by the new NextEra Energy Resources wind farm near Limon, which started generating about 400 megawatts of electricity late in the year.
Xcel also offered some other numbers Monday, including:
• At the end of 2012, wind farms serving Xcel customers generated a record 5.75 million megawatt-hours of electricity, or more than 16 percent of the nearly 35.9 million megawatt-hours of electricity the utility sold during the year. Xcel must get 30 percent of its power portfolio from renewable resources, such as wind farms and solar power systems, by 2020, according to state law.
• The wind power on Xcel's system reduced carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 4.2 tons, or the equivalent of the annual emissions of 793,000 vehicles. Nitrogen oxide emissions were cut by 4,310 tons.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

While the world fears another recession, Saudi's economy continues to grow. It dominates the Gulf economy – as it would any single currency – but it has its problems, too.
November 22, 2010 12:37 by Samuel Potter
At this rate, they won't need the UAE to rejoin the GCC central bank and single currency project. The Emirates walked away from the initiative after it became clear the bank's physical establishment would take place in Saudi Arabia. Though Saudi is the biggest of the six Gulf economies, the UAE felt that its more advanced financial industry was better suited to the task. And so, smarting, it withdrew from the project when it was revealed Riyadh would be home to the central bank HQ.
The UAE's decision and subsequent stubbornness has frustrated the remaining four countries in the project (Oman also withdrew). But the economic might of Saudi, rapidly recovering from the global downturn, suggests the UAE's non-involvement could end up more of an annoyance than a barrier. Figures this week paint the picture of a Saudi economy making huge leaps and bounds – why would they now need the UAE to forge a unified currency?
The three big stories of the past week show the strength and depth of Saudi's economy, and hint at its potential. First, Saudi nominal GDP is reported to have leapt by 24.1 percent in the first half of the year. This article puts the sharp growth down to an increase in oil prices, yes, but also growth in other sectors. The growth is all the more pronounced because of poor figures from 2009 – in the first half of that year GDP was $171.5 billion. For the same period in 2010 the figure is $212.9 billion.
Second, Q3 figures have shown that corporate profits for companies in Saudi have jumped a staggering 19.1 percent, according to a Saudi bank study. That's despite disappointing bank results, says Emirates 24-7. The consolidated net income of 137 of the 145 listed companies increased to $5.62 billion from around $4.7 billion in the same period in 2009. "Overall, given the global economic and oil environment, the results have been generally impressive and, in our opinion, we expect a positive momentum for the remainder of the year," said National Commercial Bank, who were behind the survey.
Meanwhile foreign assets controlled by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (the central bank) have swelled by more than $4.8 billion in September alone, buoyed by a high oil price. It means that Saudi is earning more than its spending, helping the budget towards a surplus at the end of the year.

Hear more Nancy Drew mystery stories.
©1987, 1959, 1930 Simon & Schuster, Inc.; (P)2002 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, An Imprint Of The Random House Audio Publishing Group
"Nancy's resourcefulness and intelligence are just as sharp today, and Laura Linney gives a good portrait of the clever, earnest girl." (AudioFile)
"I love Nancy Drew!"
What fun...to re-discover Nancy Drew after devouring every Nancy Drew book almost 35 years ago. Please Audible....obtain more of them for our listening pleasure! The narrator was very good and the musical interludes were so remnicent of the era and excitement of the story line.....great job.
"Great Book!"
This book is great for preteenage kids. It is a shorter audible book than others. It has all the same intrigue and adventure Nancy Drew gave to me when I was younger reading the same stories in hardback. She still proves to be a great heroine. It is very well narrated and if you have ever read any of Keene's books provides great visuals as well. I recommend this to all of those girls out there that always loved a good mystery.
"Good Clean Fun"
My six year old daughter and I enjoyed this listen. We were drawn into the suspense of the plot and the parallel between solving the mystery and Nancy's honest, loyal self prevailing over greed. She's a good, clean role model of cleverness and perserverance, despite some dated elements of the story. Laura Linney's a perfect reader too.
"As good as I remember her to be"
When I was about 9 years old I fell in love with Nancy Drew. We share the same name. She is my first mystery heroine and the Secret of the Old Clock was the first of thousands of mystery novels I have read over the years. Ms. Linney does a wonderful performance of bringing Nancy to life. Nancy drives her little sports car and goes to luncheon with her friends. She is brave and cleaver and a good helpful person.
"Great! But... It's the-20 Chapter Version"
I loved the Nancy Drew series as a youngster, and it was so enjoyable to revisit the books so many years later. The narrator, Laura Linney, has a wonderful voice and provides a highly entertaining imitation of voices and inflections throughout the story. In addition, there is a noir style of music interlaced throughout the story, which lends a more sinister ambience as you follow the adventure!
Nancy is my favorite character, of course, but I've always enjoyed most of the characters in all of the Nancy Drew mysteries.
Nancy Drew
The first 34 Nancy Drew mysteries contained 25 chapters; they were later revised down to 20 chapters. While I prefer the original versions of the first 34 books and wish those were available in audio format, I still thoroughly enjoyed listening to this version.
I never read Nancy Drew books growing up (I'm 42) but I had always been curious about them. I thought the audiobooks were a fun way to get to know them, especially with Laura Linney as the narrator. It's true that the writing is quite old-fashioned and not so "politically correct" as another reviewer mentioned, but I found it to be charmingly quaint, not offensive. I was surprisingly absorbed by the twists and turns of the plot. I cannot say enough about Laura Linney! She is wonderful. Overall, this was a fantastic light & easy listen.
"family reading"
good story and enjoyable storytelling. loved the music intervals, wish there had been more of them though.
"Awesome story"
Enjoyed this old tale. Relaxing. Well done. Interesting. Triumphant. Simple. Love Nancy's determination. She is a resilient woman. She prevails!
I love AUDIOBOOKS

"A great place to hide it, so no one can find it!"
I looooooooooove this book. From the beginning to the end. Its amazing. Had me talking like o was in an actually conversation with its content :)
"Laura Linney IS Nancy Drew!"
I loved Nancy Drew as a girl and was so excited when I saw that there were audiobooks narrated by one of my favorite actresses, Laura Linney. The finished product was wonderful. The incidental music and Laura's performance of the different characters was a joy. I can't wait to listen to the next in the series.

Thousands of Twitter users angry about the General Services Administration's recent scandal are more likely to blame big government—and President Barack Obama—than the GSA alone, according to a new analysis.
Crimson Hexagon, a data analytics firm, said it analyzed more than 7,500 tweets on Twitter from April 1 to April 25 expressing opinions about the recent reports of lavish conference spending by the GSA's Public Buildings Service. GSA Administrator Martha Johnson resigned and several other GSA executives were fired or put on leave as the agency's Inspector General released a report on the case.
Users on Twitter strongly reacted to the scandal, but within weeks there were more nuanced views. Overall, of the tweets reviewed in the study, 44 percent were "negative" about the GSA scandal, 33 percent were "neutral" and a surprising 22 percent were "positive" in the sense that they were supportive of steps to fix the situation, Crimson Hexagon said in its recent report.
The largest group of negative tweets—about 13 percent—suggested the scandal was primarily Obama's responsibility. Another 11 percent said "government is wasteful" and 6 percent said the GSA scandal showed why government spending should be cut. Twelve percent had other negative comments.
On the other hand, a significant portion of the tweets were focused on steps to fix the problems, which the survey said was a "positive" view.
"Amidst the outcry, 22 percent of the conversation, while not supportive of the administrators' actions, is supportive of steps that could be taken," the study said.
Eight percent of the tweets claimed they wanted restitution of funds that had been wasted.
Another 8 percent of the tweets suggested that ousting the executives involved would help mitigate the effects of the scandal.
Six percent of the tweets came to the defense of other government workers, assuming the stance that "the actions of the few, do not reflect the many."
The neutral conversations focused primarily on general news about GSA, the study said.

Windale is a suburb of the city of Lake Macquarie,[5] in the Newcastle metropolitan area. It is located west of the junction of the Pacific Highway and Newcastle Inner City Bypass, covering an area of 1.7 km2 (0.7 sq mi).[3][8]
Windale is a lower socio-economic area consisting largely of public housing homes, and has historically been known for its high rates of alcoholism, crime and unemployment, however recent local government efforts to regenerate the area have been somewhat successful. [9][10]
Local Government Regeneration[edit]
In 2012 the Lake Maquarie Council initiated a plan to regenerate and overall improve the suburb.
Government and politics[edit]
At federal level, Windale is within the Division of Shortland, a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party. It has been held since 1998 by Jill Hall.[11] The Windale booth was won easily at the 2010 federal election by the Labor Party, with a two-party preferred vote of 81.60%.[12]
In the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, Windale is within the electorate of Charlestown. Charlestown is currently held by the Liberal Party's Andrew Cornwell following the New South Wales State election, 2011. The seat was previously a safe Labor seat.
Windale is located within the East Ward of the City of Lake Macquarie, which elected one Labor, one Liberal, one Greens and independent councillors at the 2007 local government elections.[13]

MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan apologized Monday for his "very rude" conduct last week during an interview on health care with a Florida congresswoman.
Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz was explaining Friday on Ratigan's show "Morning Meeting" why she supported health care reform. Ratigan, who said he has "incredible frustration" with the way the bill treated insurance companies, asked her to explain why stocks for insurers were going up.
Schultz said she wasn't a stockbroker, and the answer apparently left Ratigan unsatisfied. He said he would "give her a brief education."
"You could be your own guest," she told him as she tried to get a word in edgewise.
Ratigan eventually waved her off, saying he didn't want her to "come on and do talking points."
On Monday, Ratigan quoted an e-mail from a viewer who said he was "very rude." He agreed with the sentiment and apologized to the congresswoman and viewers.
"Our mission and my mission on this show is to shine the light on what is really happening, whether it's health care, the banks, or a war in the Mideast," he said. "And the way I went about that on Friday was a disservice to our viewers because it got in the way of doing just that."
A message seeking comment was left Monday with Schultz's spokesman.
Ratigan is the former host of CNBC "Fast Money.". He learned last week that his daily two-hour show, "Morning Meeting," was being cut in half and moved to the afternoon.

Searching for Love Letters in the Mission District
By Alicia Avila, Mission Local
A chill winter breeze didn't stop the search in the Mission last Saturday. Couples, friends, families and a few single adventurers passed through the doors of Viracocha, a vintage store at 21st and Valencia streets. Maps and clues at hand, they marched excitedly past the red balloon tethered just outside the door.
They were following a trail of clues left by local artist Olga Nunes, 34, creator of the Mission's first-ever Valentine's Day Love Letter Scavenger Hunt. The hunt was the first of a three-act performance piece designed by Nunes and executed with a little help from her friends.
From noon to 7 p.m., the searchers had just enough time to find, scan and read 100 love letters that were scattered up and down Valencia Street.
"You told me once you should never go anywhere without confetti." – Letter #28
Together, the letters make up a 15,000-word novella about a woman named Lux searching for a man called Lamp, whom she once loved. As scavenger hunters found more letters, they were able to piece together the love story while tracking their found letters online through mobile devices.
The quest for love letters was the first act of a three-act play that will continue with the novella and conclude with the release of Nunes' first full-length album, LAMP. The entire performance piece has been in the works for two-and-a-half years.

Scammer was given remote access to our computer - then put a password block on restarting and said we had to pay £170 for 'microsoft' package to clear 'viruses' before we could restart with his help! Computer was shut down and I managed to restart off F12 key and restored to earlier point. All security systems were disabled by scammer (Windows and Bitdefender), now they will not activate again!! any ideas? Thanks.

Personally I'd backup all my documents, favourites and emails, etc checking them for malware, then I'd do a fresh install. I would also change all my passwords as the scammer had access to all your info on the machine.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
30 Jun 2012 23:11 GMT | Asia Pacific, China, Hong Kong
Police have fired volleys of pepper spray against protesters denouncing Chinese President Hu Jintao as he visited Hong Kong to mark the 15th anniversary of its return to Chinese rule.
On Saturday, hundreds of protesters, demanding an investigation into the recent death of a well-known mainland dissident, rallied near the hotel where the Chinese leader was staying.
The incident underscored tensions surrounding the anniversary of the financial hub's handover from British control on Sunday.
Before winding up his trip on Sunday, Hu will also see the inauguration of Hong Kong's new chief executive, Leung Chun-ying, who has been dogged by controversy over alleged conflicts of business interests and unauthorised renovations at his luxury home.
Some protesters tried to break through barricades, which were used by Hong Kong police for the first time since they battled violent protests during a 2005 meeting of the World Trade Organization.
Police unleashed riot-control measures to keep the demonstrators back with eye-stinging pepper spray and arrested two protesters.
As the standoff developed, other protesters chanted anti-Beijing slogans and unfurled a huge banner with the Chinese character "injustice" written on it.
A Hong Kong reporter was briefly detained after shouting questions to Hu about the 1989 Tiananmen Square bloodshed, as the president visited the construction site for a new cruise-ship terminal earlier on Saturday.
'Under siege'
The director of Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor, Law Yuk-kai, criticised the security measures as an attempt to shield the Chinese leader from any "embarrassing demonstrations". He said the city was "under siege".
Hu's visit comes as discontent toward Beijing surges to a new post-handover high, and his visit has drawn sneers and ridicule from Hong Kongers, who cherish freedoms in the city such as the right to protest not seen in China.
There has been palpable anger over the death of veteran Tiananmen activist Li Wangyang, who was found dead in his hospital ward in China earlier this month. His family says he died under suspicious circumstances.
The towering barricades in Hong Kong are likely to defy Hu's stated wish to "walk more" and "see more" during his trip to the semi-autonomous city, which returned to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997.
Waving concert glow sticks, about 300 members of a pro-democracy party held a late-night vigil to mourn what they called an erosion of Hong Kong's freedoms and chanted slogans demanding universal suffrage.
The city maintains a semi-autonomous status with its own legal and financial system under the "one country, two systems" model that applies to both Hong Kong and the casino haven of Macau, across the Pearl River Delta.
Hong Kong police had vowed to respect the right to protest during Hu's visit, after they were criticised for heavy-handed tactics during a visit by Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang last year, prompting a special inquiry.
But some users on social media likened the security tactics laid on for Hu to the Great Wall of China or the Berlin Wall.
"The Berlin Wall separated East and West Germany, let's hope this wall of barricades can separate Hong Kong from China forever," one anti-Beijing user wrote.

Women and men have ways of motivating each other for the greater mutual success. The need for a partner with drive and ambition is an overarching common criterion among people looking for healthy relationships. Ambition affects how we choose our partners and is an attractive quality when a person gives you the confidence that they will always be looking to improve on their successes. It begs the question of what role ambition plays in the dynamic of our relationships; how do we reconcile our need for better things? It is important to know that when ambition, positively or negatively motivated, is driving or dragging on your partnership. Here are just a few ways ambition plays a significant role in a relationship:
1. Career: This is where the prospect of ambition becomes a two-pronged situation. Ambition is a dangerous factor in the scope of a relationship — it can bring goal-oriented love birds together or it can split you in two different directions. Someone ambitious for a life as a successful writer who is dating someone ambitious for immediate success in a finance career might have a hard time making that work. Our level of ambition affects the way we make career and social choices.

2. Finances: The whimsical notion that "love conquers all" is difficult to uphold when you have a mortgage to pay. This, of course, is different than gold digging. However, when people are looking for their potential life-long mate, they are essentially searching for someone who is, or plans to be, financially stable. In that reality, ambition walks hand in hand with how far you're willing to take your relationship.

3. Love: Ambition should, at the very least, determine what kind of partner you pursue. It's unfair to pursue someone who won't help you achieve the things for which you're ambitious. While it isn't someone else's job to adjust their entire life strategy in the interest of solely supporting the life you want, you should find someone who is willing to compromise in the means of supporting both you and their endeavors. In this sense, you should also make sure that you are both following paths that are more or less on the same track. The search of lasting love, being taken care of emotionally and being loved for who you are all timeless notions. People want that, and will go to great lengths to ensure they are in an emotionally stable and healthy relationship.
There is no universal advice to be given on how ambition should define the scope of your relationship. Everyone is ambitious for different reasons — success, money, healthy love, being taken care of financially or being able to provide. How that ambition affects the steps you take together is up to you. Don't put yourself in a position to be disappointed. Above all, the things that we are ambitious for determine the arc of our life paths; so, if you're ambitious for happiness you'll never fall short.
