A door is out of alignment
A door is unable to close because the lower part is out of alignment after years of use. See the . It is impossible to drive the nails into new holes because the existing holes are too closer. Can you tell how to fix the problem? Thanks.
Try tightening the screws in the hinges, and if any will not pull tight replace them with longer screws.
You can always move screws by drilling the holes they are in larger, gluing dowels into the hole, then using a Vix bit to get new holes that match the hinge.
If this condition just started it is most likely loose hinge screws.
Check your hinge screws as stated by the Brick. If they are fine, scribe a line on the door where it is hitting the jamb. Remove the door and plane or sand down to the scribe line and re-hang. If satisfied, remove the door and prime/paint where the material is removed. While you are at it, if the top and bottom of the door hasn't been primered/painted, do that as well. After priming, re-coating the whole door couldn't hurt to help deal with the rain/humidity issues.
Concentrate on the lower hinge, remove one of the screws on the outer edge of the hinge, and replace with a 2 1/2 in screw so it goes into the 2x4. That should draw the jam into the 2x4 which should free up the door. If that doesnÂt work then sand the door edge till it clears then prime and paint. As was stated earlier make sure all the edges are painted that will help with the swelling.
"...sand or plane the portion of the door that jams up..."
Be sure to remove a little more than you need since you have to have clearance for s couple layers of paint.
If you leave the wood raw and with a snug fir, the problem will be back very quickly.
If you go for about 1/32 inch of clearance you can put on a coat of primer and two coats of paint to slow the moisture down and prevent any liquid from quickly soaking in.
If the door has not swollen as large as it will get you will need to repeat the sizing and painting again;.
You could leave it raw for a little while to encourage it to swell before final sizing and painting.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees' team bus was on the Henry Hudson Parkway last Saturday when Joe Girardi's phone rang. After deteriorating from Alzheimer's disease since the 1990s, his father had died in Illinois.
Girardi stays in Yanks dugout after father's death
"I had tears in my eyes on the bus, so I put some sunglasses on," the manager said Thursday, struggling not to cry, "and (did) probably what a lot of men do when they go through difficult and sad times, we try to stay busy. That's what we do. And I tried to focus."
For five days, Girardi did not disclose dad's death to his players, preferring not to talk about it and not wanting to distract his team. Jerry Girardi, who was 81, will be buried in Tampico, Ill., next Monday — an off day in the AL championship series.
"I was going to tell them, you know, God willing we get into the next round, that I was going to the funeral on Monday and I wouldn't be at the workout," he said. "That's when I was going to tell them."
New York played another late-night thriller with Baltimore, which won 2-1 in 13 innings to force a decisive Game 5 Friday. The Yankees have one more chance to advance to the ALCS.
A man on a mission. That's what Joe Girardi is. That's what he learned from Jerry Girardi and his mom, Angela, who died in 1984.
Not managing for a night never entered his mind, not last weekend, not now. He stood alone in front of the dugout and wiped tears from his eyes during a pregame moment of silence, then blew a kiss to someone in the stands.
"The one thing that both of them, besides many other things that they taught me, was always to finish the job at hand," Girardi said. "So my thought process was my dad would want me to do everything that we could do to go win a World Series. He had been a part of them with me as a player. 2009 — I don't think he understood what we did at that time. He was at a stage in Alzheimer's that he wasn't talking, so I don't think he understood."
And then the manager with the close-cropped hair and serious look, a man who almost always maintains a steely cool, got emotional and choked up.
"I had a tremendous relationship with my father. Wherever he went, I went. When he stopped, I ran into him," Girardi said. "And I've always said, if I could be half the husband and father my dad would be, that would be special."
It was as difficult a pregame news conference as there can be. A night earlier, Girardi made the toughest decision of his six years as a major league manager. With the Yankees trailing 2-1 in the ninth inning, he pinch hit for slumping Alex Rodriguez, baseball's most expensive player. Raul Ibanez batted for A-Rod and not only hit a tying home run, hit went on to hit a winning homer in the 12th to give New York a 3-2 victory.

This is so well thought out and well written, I wish to pay homage to your skills. You might as well have invented metal bending for how impressed I am by you. Please keep it up
| Guest chapter 1 . 8/26/2014
Has this story been abandoned? I Hope It hasn't because it really is one of my favourite Avatar stories especially as you have got the characterisation done really well and I like how the characters all interact with each other, they all seem very in character
| MBScavenger1498 chapter 8 . 1/20/2014
Very good! This fic was highly recommended and didn't disappoint. Sort of sad to see that it hasn't been updated for so long. I especially liked how you showcased Sokka and Suki when they were fighting the Dragon Viper.
Hope to see more eventually,
| ladybug114 chapter 8 . 11/6/2013
This was spectacular! I could totally picture it in my head, so great job with that!
Are you, by any chance, going to write a sequel? Cuz you totally should.
| EvilFuzzy9 chapter 8 . 8/11/2013
Aw, darn. What are the chances the fic will ever be finished, now? Rats.
STILL SO GOOD, though. :D
| EvilFuzzy9 chapter 7 . 8/11/2013
Sokkkaaaaaa Topphhhhh Suuukiiiii Kaataaaraaaaa ;A; FEEELS
Also, *fuck* Ozai. Dude's a first class asshole.
| EvilFuzzy9 chapter 6 . 8/11/2013
sooooo haaappyyyyyy!
| EvilFuzzy9 chapter 5 . 8/11/2013

Wait, he buried the knife into the thing's skull, but there was no mention of its corpse. Is that blasted creature still alive?!

Hahn, the Water Tribe dude who got backhanded off a ship by *Zhao*? Haha, not very impressive, as far as nemeses go.
(he's totally gonna be a serious threat, isn't he?)
Also, I am LOVING the Sokka angst. I have said it before, and heaven knows I will say it again, but I *love* seeing my favorite characters suffer. XD
| EvilFuzzy9 chapter 1 . 8/10/2013
| warfolomei chapter 1 . 8/9/2013
Not the best move from Aang, I get it... but only because I watched the show, characters who went trough this life would have a different opinion on the fire matter.
| Minato4Yellowflash chapter 8 . 4/2/2013
I LOVED the plot. Avatar Aang and his friends never get to have real peace, do they? It was thrilling, like how (former) Fire Lord Ozai, the Phoenix King, rose again, and each members of Gaang being targeted by the un-known source. Sokka was my hero in this fic! And the part that I loved best was most definitely the last scene of Azula and her mother. I wonder if a love of a mother can cure her? I hope Azula turns to the good side, somehow with her mother in tow, and the royal family get to be together as one, once again. Without Ozai, of course. I totally adored this fic, and I'm really looking forward to finding how Gaang manages to defeat Ozai along with his evil minions, and return the era of peace back to the Elemental Countries, this time hopefully a long one. Praise the Avatar and his friends! Praise this story! I'm very much looking forward to the next update, so please reply to my feelings! :)

- The political economy of bank bailouts (2015)
- In this paper, we examine how the institutional design affects the outcome of bank bailout decisions. In the German savings bank sector, distress events can be resolved by local politicians or a state-level association. We show that decisions by local politicians with close links to the bank are distorted by personal considerations: While distress events per se are not related to the electoral cycle, the probability of local politicians injecting taxpayers' money into a bank in distress is 30 percent lower in the year directly preceding an election. Using the electoral cycle as an instrument, we show that banks that are bailed out by local politicians experience less restructuring and perform considerably worse than banks that are supported by the savings bank association. Our findings illustrate that larger distance between banks and decision makers reduces distortions in the decision making process, which has implications for the design of bank regulation and supervision.
- Austerity and growth : concepts for Europe (2015)
- Against the background of the European debt crisis, the Research Center SAFE, in the fall of 2013, had issued a call for papers on the topic "Austerity and Economic Growth: Concepts for Europe", with the objective of soliciting research proposals focusing on the nature of the relationship between austerity, debt sustainability and growth. Each of the five funded projects brought forth an academic paper and a shortened, non-technical policy brief. These policy papers are presented in the present collection of policy letters, edited by Alfons Weichenrieder. The first paper by Alberto Alesina, Carlo Favero and Francesco Giavazzi looks into the question of how fiscal consolidations influence the real economy. Harris Dellas and Dirk Niepelt emphasize that fiscal austerity is a signal that investors use to tell apart governments with high and low default costs that accordingly will have a high or low probability of repayment.The paper by Benjamin Born, Gernot Müller and Johannes Pfeiffer,looks at the impact of austerity measures on government bond spreads. Oscar Jorda and Alan M. Taylor, in the fourth contribution, put into question whether the narrative records of fiscal consolidation plans are really exogenous. The final study by Enrique Mendoza, Linda Tesar and Jing Zhang suggests that fiscal consolidation should largely depend on expenditure cuts, rather than tax increases that may fail, when fiscal space is exhausted.
- The regulation of repo markets: incorporating public interest through a stronger role of civil society (2015)
- Regulatory failures, which came to the fore after the financial crisis of 2007-2009, lead to the question of why some activities by financial institutions were not regulated prior to the crisis of 2007, even though regulators knew about certain dangers to financial stability? The repo-market, although centrally involved in the last crisis, still awaits stringent regulation. At the same time, the regulatory cycle seems to come to an end, boding ill for future crises which will be amplified by this market. In this situation, NGOs are needed to make regulators act upon their knowledge and to tighten their regulations.
- Greece: threatening recovery (2015)
- Despite the catastrophic phase between 2008 and the end of 2014, much of a previously unsustainable development has been corrected in Greece and there are clear signs that the deterioration came to a halt in 2014. But what is publicly known about the priorities of the newly elected Syriza government suggests that they may be going largely into the wrong direction.
- Fiscal stimulus and labor market flexibility (2015)
- This paper investigates whether a fiscal stimulus implies a different impact for flexible and rigid labour markets. The analysis is done for 11 advanced OECD economies. Using quarterly data from 1999 to 2013, I estimate a panel threshold structural VAR model in which regime switches are determined by OECD's employment protection legislation index. My empirical results indicate significant differences between rigid and flexible labour markets regarding the impact of the fiscal stimulus on output and unemployment. While the impulse response of real GDP to a government spending shock is positive and more effective in flexible labour markets, it has less impact in the rigid ones. Moreover, it is found that a fiscal stimulus leads to higher overall unemployment in highly regulated countries.
- Does exchange of information between tax authorities influence multinationals' use of tax havens? (2015)
- Since the mid-1990s, countries offering tax systems that facilitate international tax avoidance and evasion have been facing growing political pressure to comply with the internationally agreed standards of exchange of tax information. Using data of German investments in tax havens, we find evidence that the conclusion of a bilateral tax information exchange agreement (TIEA) is associated with fewer operations in tax havens and the number of German affiliates has on average decreased by 46% compared to a control group. This suggests that firms invest in tax havens not only for their low tax rates but also for the secrecy they offer.
- Cross-border resolution of global banks (2015)
- Most recent regulations establish that resolution of global banking groups shall be done according to bail-in procedures and following a Single Point of Entry (SPE) as opposed to a Multiple Point of Entry (MPE) approach. The latter requires parent holding of global groups to put up front the equity capital needed to absorb losses possibly emerging in foreign subsidiaries-branches. No model rationalized so far such resolution regime. We build a model of optimal design of resolution regimes and compare three regimes: SPE with cooperative authorities, SPE with non-cooperative authorities and MPE (ring-fencing). We find that the costs for bondholders of bail-inable instruments is generally higher under noncooperative regimes and ring-fencing. We also find that in those cases banks have ex ante incentives to reduce their exposure in foreign assets. We also examine recent case studies that help us rationalize the model results.
- Bank networks: contagion, systemic risk and prudential policy (2015)
- We present a network model of the interbank market in which optimizing risk averse banks lend to each other and invest in non-liquid assets. Market clearing takes place through a tâtonnement process which yields the equilibrium price, while traded quantities are determined by means of a matching algorithm. We compare three alternative matching algorithms: maximum entropy, closest matching and random matching. Contagion occurs through liquidity hoarding, interbank interlinkages and fire sale externalities. The resulting network configurations exhibits a core-periphery structure, dis-assortative behavior and low clustering coefficient. We measure systemic importance by means of network centrality and input-output metrics and the contribution of systemic risk by means of Shapley values. Within this framework we analyze the effects of prudential policies on the stability/efficiency trade-off. Liquidity requirements unequivocally decrease systemic risk but at the cost of lower efficiency (measured by aggregate investment in non-liquid assets); equity requirements tend to reduce risk (hence increase stability) without reducing significantly overall investment.
- Financial education, literacy and investment attitudes (2015)
- Based on a sample of university students, we provide field and laboratory evidence that a small scale training intervention has a both statistically and economically significant effect on subjective and objective assessments of financial knowledge. We also show that for a large part of students whose self-assessed financial knowledge has improved we do not find an increase in their actual skills.
- Housing habits and their implications for life-cycle consumption and investment (2015)
- We set up and solve a rich life-cycle model of household decisions involving consumption of both perishable goods and housing services, stochastic and unspanned labor income, stochastic house prices, home renting and owning, stock investments, and portfolio constraints. The model features habit formation for housing consumption, which leads to optimal decisions closer in line with empirical observations. Our model can explain (i) that stock investments are low or zero for many young agents and then gradually increasing over life, (ii) that the housing expenditure share is age- and wealth-dependent, (iii) that perishable consumption is more sensitive to wealth and income shocks than housing consumption, and (iv) that non-housing consumption is hump-shaped over life.

One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Ankle/ Lower Leg Chapter 17 Anatomy of foot and ankle Forefoot Metatarsophalangeal Jt. (MTP) Proximal Interphalangeal Jt.(PIP) Distal Interphalangeal Jt. (DIP) Note: Toes function to smooth the weight shift to the opposite foot during walking and help maintain stability. The "great toe" (Hallux) is the main stabilizer during walking or running. Midfoot (Starting from medial/superior- lateral/inferior) Navicular Cuboid Three Cuneiform Ligaments: 1. Long Plantar- extends between the calcaneus and cuboid, then connects to the base of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal. 2. Three ligaments help support the talocalcaneonavicular jt (TCN ): A) Plantar calcaneonavicular (spring), B) Deltoid ligaments, C) Bifurcate ligament (Laterally) Hindfoot Calcaneus Talus Talocrural Jt (Ankle) The ankle is modified hinge jt formed by the talus, tibia, and lateral malleolus of the fibula. Fibula assists with weight bearing, supporting approximately 17% of the load on the leg, serves as a site for muscle and ligamentous attachments, and forms the lateral border of the ankle mortise. The ankle capsule is thin and weak, a number of strong ligaments cross the ankle and enhance stability: Deltoid ligaments (medial)- prevents eversion Anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL)- prevents forward motion and inversion during plantar flexion Calcaneofibular ligament (CFL)- prevents inversion Posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL)- strongest of the three and prevents posterior movement. Tibiofibular Jt High Anterior tibiofibular ligament (HATFL) High Posterior tibiofibular ligament (HPTFL) Interosseous membrane Plantar Arches Longitudinal (medially/laterally) - distributes body weight from the talus through the foot, runs from calcaneus to the metatarsals heads. Transverse- distributes body weight from the talus through the foot, runs across the anterior tarsals and metatarsals. Note: Primary supporting structures of the plantar arches: Calcaneonavicular (Spring) ligament, Long Plantar ligament, Plantar fascia (interconnected band of fascia that covers the plantar surface of the foot). Muscles (Four compartments of the lower leg) ROM Anterior: Tibialis anterior (Dorsiflexion) Extensor digitorum longus (Extension) Extensor hallucis longus (Extension) Deep posterior: Tibialis posterior (Plantar Flexion/Inverter) Flexor digitorum longus (Flexion of Toes) Flexor hallucis longus (Flexion of Big Toe) Tibialis posterior artery Tibial nerve Superficial posterior: Gastrocnemius (Plantar Flexion) Soleus (Plantar Flexion) Plantaris (Plantar Flexion) Lateral: Peroneus longus (Eversion) Peroneus brevis (Eversion) Note: Different loading patterns include tension, compression, bending, and torsion. During running foot sustains impact forces two /three times body weight. 50% of body weight is distributed through the subtalar jt to the calcaneus, with remaining 50% through transverse tarsal to forefoot. Toe Deformities Hallus Valgus: Prolonged pressure against the medial aspect of the first MTP jt can lead to thickening of the medial capsule and bursa, resulting in severe valgus deformity of great toe. Hammer Toe: Extended at the MTP, flexed at the PIP, and hyperextended at the DIP Claw Toe: Hyperextension of the MTP, and flexion of the DIP/PIP Mallet Toe: Neutral position at the MTP/PIP, but flexed at the DIP S.O.A.P's History: (S) Many conditions in the lower leg, ankle, and foot are related to family history, congenital deformities, poor techniques, and recent changes in the training program, surface, or foot attire. Ask basic questions MOI, when, has it happen before, what did you do for it (Tx), seen by a doctor, etc. Changes to distance, duration, or intensity of training. (Overuse injuries) Medial heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis) heel spurs, if in the middle of the plantar heel area. Pain in the medial arch can be a sign of a fallen medial longitudinal arch or tarsal tunnel syndrome. Malleolus pain =ankle sprain. Posterior pain to lateral malleolus = peroneal tendinitis, subluxation, dislocation or sural nerve entrapment. Posterior pain to the medial malleolus = tendinitis, rupture of tibialis posterior. Objective: Swelling, discoloration, deformities, hypertrophy, atrophy, surgical incisions Wear shoes that cause the pain. Deformities, swelling, redness, in the toes, ankle or foot, notice of fallen arch weight-bearing, non-weight bearing. Assessment: Special Testing Injuries Turf Toe: Sprain of the capsular ligament of the 1st MTP, from a hyperextension. S/S: Swelling on the plantar aspect of the MTP jt of the great toe, extension of the great toe is extremely painful. Management: Mild sprains- Ice therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's), rest, taping for excessive movement. Moderate to Severe individual may need to be restricted from play. Acute Compartment Syndrome: MOI- Direct blow to the anterolateral aspect of the tibia which may cause a rapid increase space that leads to increased local venous pressure and obstructs the neurovascular network. S/S: Recent Hx of trauma, excessive exercise, a vascular injury, or prolonged externally applied pressure. Management: Ice and total rest. In severe cases ER and surgery. Lateral Ankle Sprains: Acute inversion sprains often occur while changing directions rapidly, also when the foot and ankle is at the moment of loading with plantar flexion and inversion force. S/S: Individual usually reports a cracking or tearing sound. Grade I- Can weight bear immediately after injury, pain, and swelling are mild. Grade II- Swelling and tenderness are localized over the ATFL and may extend over the CFL with some weight bearing. Grade III- Complete tear of one or more of the ligaments. Swelling and ecchymosis are rapid and diffuse functional and clinical instability. Management: Ice therapy, compression, elevation and rest. Crutches for those who cannot weight bear. Syndesmosis Sprain (High Ankle Sprain): Often, the foot dorsiflexed and externally rotated. Rotation causes the ankle mortis to widen. S/S: The point of tenderness is higher, between the tibia and fibula. The ligament that is usually injured is the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL). Management: Ice therapy, compression, elevation and rest. Crutches for those who cannot weight bear. Brace for 3-4 weeks, then a stirrup brace for additional 6 weeks. Strains and Tendinitis: Muscle strains seldom occur in the lower extremity, except in the gastrocnemius-soleus complex. Most injuries occur to the musculotendinous junction or the tendon itself. Most common sites are Achilles tendon, Tibialis posterior, Tibialis anterior, and Peroneal tendon. S/S: Morning stiffness, localized tenderness, possible swelling, pain w/passive stretching and pain w/active and resisted motion. Management: Conservative treatment- Ice, rest, and AROM within levels of pain tolerance. Gastrocnemius Muscle Strain: MOI- Forced dorsiflexion, forced knee extension and muscular fatigue. S/S: Sudden painful tearing sensation in the calf muscle between the musculotendinous junction and the Achilles tendon or in the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. Pain, swelling, loss of function and stiffness and later ecchymosis will appear in the foot and ankle. Management: Ice, compression, rest, gentle stretching and strengthening program. Plantar Fasciitis: Most common injury to runners (Extrinsic factors): training errors, improper footwear, and participating in unyielding surfaces. (Intrinsic factors): Pes cavus/ Pes planus, decrease plantar flexion strength, reduced flexibility in the Achilles tendon, and excessive or prolonged pronation and torsional malalignmaents. S/S: Pain on the plantar, medial heel pain that worsens after rest, severe pain in the morning with first steps but diminishes within 5-10 minutes. Pain over the medial side of the calcaneus and increase with passive toe extension. Management: Ice, deep friction massage, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, Achilles tendon stretching and arch strengthening, NSAID's and soft heel lift. Stress Fractures: Often seen in runners and jumpers particularly after a significant increase in training mileage or a change in surface, intensity, or shoe type. Most common sites: 2nd metatarsal, navicular (jumpers), calcaneus, tibia and fibula (repetitive stress). S/S: Pain during activities and decrease with rest. Management: Rest (4-8 weeks). Avulsion Fractures: Occur at any ligamentous or tendinous attachment. Most common sites: 2nd metatarsal, navicular (jumpers), calcaneus, tibia and fibula (repetitive stress). S/S: Pain during activities and decrease with rest. Management: Rest (4-8 weeks).

Former Fisher Cat Stroman masters Red Sox
If Stroman's mastery had continued, the Blue Jays manager would have faced a difficult decision. Would he let Stroman, a New Hampshire Fisher Cat in 2012-13, go for the no-hitter or take the rookie right-hander out to protect him from a mounting pitch count?
Boston right fielder Shane Victorino led off the seventh with a soft single to center.
"It was getting a little hairy there," Gibbons said. "If he keeps that no-hitter going. ... I can't say that I'm glad he gave up a hit, but ... It was going through my mind. If he keeps going, you've got a young kid, you're trying to win a division, do you keep throwing him out there? I don't know if relieved is the word, but it didn't hurt."
First baseman Juan Francisco led the offense with a home run and four RBIs and was a double short of hitting for the cycle.
Stroman (6-2) struck out seven and allowed two walks in seven innings to win his second start in a row — both times going seven shutout innings — and his third straight decision in six starts.
Gibbons was asked if he would have let Stroman stay in if he still had a no-hitter.
"You'll never know," he said.
Stroman said, "I think they would have let me go. They're definitely watching pitches. It would have been tough."
He said started to think about the no-hitter in the sixth inning.
"I looked up and saw a zero and said this is pretty crazy," he said.
"It just kind of hung up there," Stroman said. "(Catcher Dioner Navarro) came in and said, man, you should have spiked it. We were pretty mad at each other."
Red Sox right-hander Rubby De La Rosa (3-3) allowed nine hits, two walks and seven runs (six earned) in four-plus innings.
Outfielder Jonny Gomes pinch hit and ended the game with a fly ball.
Francisco hit his 15th homer of the season to score two runs in the third inning. He also drove in two runs in the fifth with a single against right-hander Burke Badenhop.

Lotto winner still 'Joe the butcher'
Every time he bought a 6/49 lottery ticket, Jose Lima prayed he'd win the big prize and promised God to share his boa sorte, good fortune.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Every time he bought a 6/49 lottery ticket, Jose Lima prayed he'd win the big prize and promised God to share his boa sorte, good fortune.
He's doing just that.
Canada's newest millionaire – the 52-year-old father of two who won $14.5 million in the 6/49 draw – is giving each of his 50 employees at O Nosso Talho butcher shop $5,000.
On April 3, the fifth anniversary of his father Joao's death, his generosity will spread even further when he gives away 22,680 kilograms of chicken legs to thank his customers and help Toronto's needy.
Gilberto Andre, a 10-year veteran behind the meat counter, was with Lima, who manages the busy shop, when he checked his numbers.
"When I told him he'd won, he hugged me," said Andre who described Lima as a very caring, kind man.
"For me, he's a great person who never says no. We're all very happy for him. And it's such a good thing that he's doing, sharing his good luck with us. I don't know if anyone else would do that."
Lima admitted he's still in a state of shock and it's too early to decide what to do with the money.
"The first thing I will do is to keep my promise to my employees and the people. I'll decide what to do with the rest of the money later."
Also at the top of his list is his immediate and extended family. There are two sisters and four brothers, one in Brazil.
"I believe that if you can help, you should help," Lima said as customers stopped him in the aisles yesterday to shake his hand, slap his back and offer their congratulations.
It was business as usual. He picked up a java at the coffee shop next door and then went to the butchery to prepare for the 8 a.m. opening. He slipped a white lab coat over his jeans and sweatshirt, and donned a company baseball cap embroidered with the words "King of Meat."
And then, as he's done for umpteen years, Lima scrubbed the sidewalk in front of the shop.
But somehow, "the air is more fresh today," he said, smiling.
Lima said he's been lucky since the first day he arrived in Canada.
"I wish everybody had my life and it has nothing to do with money," he said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I have two beautiful kids and a wonderful wife. I have a house. We're all super healthy. What else could you want?"
And he's always had a heart as big as his new bank account. Lima said he believes in reaching out to those who need it. A few weeks ago, an elderly customer asked for his help – a $60 loan so she could buy groceries to feed her family.
He didn't hesitate.
She promised to repay him by March 27 – the day his multi-million-dollar ship came in.
"My customer came to the store crying and wishing me all of God's blessings," he said, wiping tears.
And though he's reached Freedom $14.5 million, Lima said he won't leave the business.
"It's in my blood. I love to come to work. I have a great team of employees – they are like family – and great customers.
"And everyone from 5 kilometres this way or that knows me. I'm 'Joe from the butcher shop.' I want people to know me as that because it's who I am. I don't want them to think of me as 'Joe the rich guy.' I'm the same as I was 10 years ago, 10 months ago, two days ago."

Starting the Year on a Positive Note
Back in May, I asked readers to think of five things they'd done well over the last school year. I followed it up with a post on my personal blog reflecting on what I thought I did well. Now it's time for the school year to rev up again, and I'm hoping to not only keep doing what I did well, but also set some goals for the coming year.
As this blog is a tech integration blog, I want you to think about something you want to do better or something new you want to try this year. As I have stated in many previous posts, the worst thing you can do when trying to bring new technology into your classroom, whether it be a simple web-based tool or a piece of hardware, is try to do too much.
With the proliferation of Web 2.0 tool lists, blogs about successes teachers have had with particular endeavors, webinars, wikis, online communities and more, it can be easy to get overwhelmed.
Don't Try to Be a Superhero
Pick one new tool or site to try with your students during the first report period (making sure, of course, that it fits nicely with what you will be teaching). Decide how you will manage it, developing an implementation plan. Think of all of the things that could go wrong (i.e. Internet goes down, computer failure) and plan for them. Maybe even talk to a colleague and see if there is something you both want to try with your students. Then you can share what's working and problem solve as well.
Some Ideas for Implementation
- Try out an online learning management tool like Edmodo, Collaborize Classroom or Schoology to manage assignments and get your students interacting around content
- Use Prezi instead of PowerPoint for any slides you may need for a lesson
- Use Dropbox with an added DropitTOme folder to allow your kids to hand in work digitally
- Use Google Docs to co-plan lessons or units with your colleague(s)
If you are looking for tools to use for the upcoming school year, I suggest you check out Jerry Blumengarten's amazing site, Cybraryman.com!

I am currently taking an online professional development course about blogging. Something new I would like to do this year is to use blogging within the classroom. Your blog post appealed to me because I teach my students the 7 Habits to Happy Kids. Habit #2 is all about setting goals for yourself, "Begin with the end in mind."
These are some great tips to use for the upcoming year. As the summer is flying by (way too quickly) I am very eager to try new technology tools with my students. Thank you for your blog!

On the Scene: Creating content for good
|| Print |
|On the Scene

Curious onlookers gathered in Pioneer Square as the bravest few couples grabbed their partners and lined up, men on one side, women on the other. On the nearby stage, local rockabilly and swing band The Twangshifters warmed up.
The first 30 Hour Day was born out of an idea the three organizers had to pool together their online social networks and create an event that would help others. This time it was a much bigger production with a live appearance in Pioneer Square rather than acts recorded in a closed studio and broadcast live online.
"We really stepped it up a notch this time around with the appearance in Pioneer Square," said Rick Turoczy of Silicon Florist. "But it was experimental, and made fundraising more difficult."
Last December the event raised about $7,000 plus food and toy donations for a total of almost $10,000. The organizers feared that holding the event outside of the holiday season would mean people just weren't in the giving mood, and they were correct. They only raised $2,000 this time. The money benefited the Oregon Food Bank, the Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross and p:ear.
By comparison, the Waterfront Blues Festival raised $622,000 and 90,000 pounds of donated food over the weekend for the food bank.
"Next time we'll make sure to get someone from our community who knows a lot about the actual fundraising aspect, specifically live fundraising," said Kaos.
The entire staff, including all of the acts, was made up of volunteers. The crew of PDX.FM did most of the technical work. Local developer Brian Enigma designed and donated an iPhone app. A huge variety of people who may previously have only interacted with one another online came together offline to produce the event.
"We found an inventive way to give back," said Kaos. "As far as online fundraising goes there is a lot of simple 'click the button' types right now, but we are the first to actually create entertainment that charities can use."
The livestream was available to be embedded by anyone who wanted it, "from the blog with 0 hits this month to the site with one million hits per second" as the 30 Hour Day website stated. The content was all recorded and now is undergoing editing into segments that will be released under a creative commons license for use by charities or the various entertainers that appeared.
Social media was important at all stages of the event planning, from the beginning with gathering volunteers through Twitter and Facebook, to the end with the very way that viewers donated, through "Causes," part of Network for Good.
So while 30 Hour Day may be reviving the telethon by making it adapt to the changing face of the web and social media, the question is whether this medium of fundraising can be effective.
"Social media was the critical component to pulling the event off because it provided free tools to help promote, manage and fundraise for the event," said Turoczy. "Without social media, this kind of fundraising would be impossible and cost prohibitive."

This is just food grade limonene, not 98.5% food grade limonene like the other two products. It bothers my stomach more, tastes worse and isn't as effective as Life Extension EsophaGuard. It's of course a better value, but I ended up throwing it out.

sorry but it didn't work for me Paul
I really wanted this to work!

I was so hopeful when I bought the d-Limonene. It seemed to work right when I started, but it did not continue that way. Called my Dr. and am on Nexium now. That seems to work great for me. I only have had to take it every 3 days or so, and I am supplementing with B vitamins because Nexium causes deficiency. I so wanted the natural product to work!!!!
Not effective for extreme GERD cases
Posted by Reviewer1692566 on Aug 18, 2010
I've suffered from acid reflux for over 40 years. I started out carrying around a bottle of liquid relief which I did for most of my life. I've been on a proton pump inhibiter for about 8 years (many did not work for me at all) which my doctors said indicated an extreme case. I read one review for D-Limonene about an extreme case of GERD that gave me hope that it could be effective for me as well. I started out taking both my pharmaceutical and D-Limonene for one week. No acid break-through events at all (which I did experience occasionally with just the drug). I was extremely encouraged that the D-Limonene would be completely effective for me! After the first week, I started to taper back on the drug to every-other day to see if the effects would still be positive. I never got past the second day. I was eating antacids like candy. It was an immediate throw-back to the days without the aid of the pharmaceutical. I was devastated that it did not work for me. Again, mine is an EXTREME case of GERD for which this product is just not enough to be effective. However, I do believe that it is effective in helping to prevent acid break-through on really bad days.
