I can't get PHP to recognize the ImageMagick (Imagick) class. Everything else works, the command line tests (convert logo: logo.miff | imdisplay logo.miff) work, and I've followed every instructions I could find over it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Instructions I've done:
- Download and install ImageMagick-6.7.6-1-Q16-windows-dll.exe
- Download the PHP Imagick DLL: http://www.sk89q.com/2010/03/vc6-windows-binaries-for-imagick-2-3-0/
- Used IIS to install the extension (automatically add the dll reference to PHP.ini)
- Saved, and restarted the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and IIS
- Checked phpinfo() to see if Imagick loaded, it had not.
- I restarted Windows, and checked phpinfo again, no luck.
Did I miss anything? I've tried everything, looked for multiple DLLs, using each one, restarting both the service, IIS and Windows. Still nothing has worked. Any help?

1997 Geo Tracker SUV 4dr SUV 4WD
I owned this car second hand from Carmax and had it for 10 years, best little car ever. She was really roomy, loved taking the top off and yes she was noisy but who cares. Heater worked great when I needed it, never had too many issues. Gave her a bath every week and took care of every service that was needed. I would get another in a heartbeat !

1997 Geo Tracker SUV 2dr SUV 4WD w/Soft Top
I bought my Tracker for $1750; it had 73,800 miles on it, ran awesome, and was in good shape for a 14 year old car. One of the best moves I've ever made. In the winter it's great because it has 4x4 and is amazing in the snow. In the summer it's great because it's a convertible and it's surprisingly phenomenal off-road, even when completely stock. It's durable and can handle lots of work. For such a small car it can fit 1/3 cord of wood, and you won't wreck the strong interior. It's uncomfortable and 55mph on the highway is 3K rpm, but it gets 35 mpg, it's amazingly reliable, and it has the heart and soul of a big truck.

I bought this for about 6K and Hated it.
The 4x4 worked ok, but is sits low to the ground so when I tried to go over snow banks (WI) I would get hung up and which the 4 wheel couldn't pull me off of.
I am 6 foot tall and talk about rough sitting in this thing.
My leg was always pushing on the center counsel thing.
No cruise.
didn't hold its value for crap.
And I (who has been driving sticks for his whole life) "Burnt the clutch out" before the car hit 100K.
Only car that "I" have ever "broke."

1997 Geo Tracker SUV LSi 4dr SUV 4WD
This SUV does what it is suppose to do, get you there on time every time whether it be the big snow storm or ice storm. It is very dependable for a 1997. Yes it rides like a truck or Jeep. The vehicle sits high so very high wind days are a no-no at high speeds on I87. Gas mile is great for a 1.6 liter 5 speed manual shift. 24-MPG city and 33 MPG on the highway. I get stuck doing stuff for my daughter who lives about 90 North and the vehicle has ample room for stuff like bikes, pallets, computers, snow blowers lawn mowers mulch etc. I have replaced these items, battery, muffler, brakes tie rod and a brake line, tuneup fluids and bulbs(easy jobs). I turned off the driving light to save energy

I bought this candy apple red little beauty from my neighbor who seemed to enjoy filling it with trash. It had no dents or dings and after we jump- started it, it ran fantastic. KNowing he bought a new car since his wife was pregnant, I immediately approached him and struck a deal for $500.00 dollars. The front drivers door hing failed, it had a hole in the exhaust, a check engine light was on, (o2 sensor)AND the rear window was stolen along with the Alpine stereo Steve put in (bad idea on a convertible) So, I put $500.00 in it and fixed everything it needed to pass emissions and inspection. After that..it has run FANTASTIC. I love it!!!! 30 mpg, new tires, just needs radio!!!

Bought this car because I need to rent a car for two weeks while my other was being repaired. It was only $1,400 and had been used as a tow vehicle behind a motorhome. Came with a soft and hard top. Gave my 15 year old his first driving lesson it it (has a 1.6L motor and 5 speed trans). When he gets his license he can buy it from me. I hyper mile better than 38 mpg out of this car around town, but freeways speeds can get scary. Overall it's a great little runabout. Too bad they don't make them anymore.

1997 Geo Tracker SUV LSi 4dr SUV
I originally bought my 97 Geo Tracker LSI 4dr Wagon from a local auto recycler a little over 1 year ago. I replaced the fuel pump, tires and battery and have driven 12,345 miles since. The car had 111,567 miles on it when I started driving it. I like most of the car's features except for the constant headlights feature (I actually consider it dangerous because only the headlamps come on without the running lamps. I have several times driven without all the lights on). I feel the car is underpowered. I would trade a little gas mileage for more get up and go! I usually get 30-35 MPG. I love the car otherwise. The side opening rear door is great. I have had no breakdowns.

The Geo Tracker was my first new car and I still own it. I've only had to change the Battery and tires so far in 10 years of owning it. Great, reliable and fun SUV.

I have put 200,000 miles on this 5 spd 4WD Tracker and consider it to be trouble free and cheap to drive. The worst that I have gotten was 27 MPG and that was in 4WD on snow. I get between 30 and 35 MPG with every tank. Maint: replaced the front brakes 3 times, rear brakes 2 times; starter and alternator once; tires every 45,; just replaced the speedometer cluster because the speedometer quit working; some light bulbs have never been replaced. If a vehicle lasts this long in WV it's a good design. I'll be looking for a newer Tracker in another 50K or so.

I have been removing old wallpaper and have finally reached the final layer. The original wallpaper was put up using hide glue. I have scraped, used warm water, warm water with white vinegar. No matter what I do, there is still glue on the walls. Is there anything I haven't tried that might work, short of sanding which does seemed to work.

On Jan. 8, more than 30 members of the community joined together at the Wabash County YMCA to show their support for Be Well Wabash County, a new initiative focused on wellness. The initiative aims to bring organizations, businesses, and individuals together in a collaborative effort to promote life balance and health.
"Right now, were in the bottom third of the health rankings. Wouldn't it be fun to think about being in the top third? Wouldn't it be fun to be in the top 10 counties for health and wellbeing," said founding member Bryce Lindsay. "And what does that do to our economy? Does it attract other companies and people who bring new jobs in? Then that helps our schools. That helps everybody."

Brainard Excavating received the bid to demolish a home at 7 Elmwood Drive during the Wabash Board of Public Works & Safety's Jan. 7 meeting.
The bid was awarded in spite of a request from Kristina Lynn, attorney for the Jo Jinks Dietzer estate, who said she has been in contact with Dietzer's daughter, Louise Dietzer-Young, to delay the demolition.
The board, during its Dec. 3 meeting, found the home to been unsafe and ordered it to be demolished. However, Dietzer-Hensley appeared at the board's Dec. 17 meeting, and said, among other things, that she had not been properly notified of the unsafe building hearing.

Carrie Johnson's Monday report on NPR's Morning Edition could have been mistaken as an informercial for the left-of-center ACLU and the NAACP's efforts to help "protect minority voting rights," after the Supreme Court's Shelby County v. Holder decision from June 2013. Johnson played up how "a divided Supreme Court gutted part of that law – throwing into chaos a system that had required...states to ask for federal permission before making election changes."
All but one of the correspondent's talking heads during the segment were liberal activists who lamented the Court's decision, but she failed to point out their political ideology or that of the groups they represent. Johnson also singled out one attendee of the organizations' "training session," who attacked the Obama administration from the left:
Carrie Johnson's Monday report on NPR's Morning Edition could have been mistaken as an informercial for the left-of-center ACLU and the NAACP's efforts to help "protect minority voting rights," after the Supreme Court's Shelby County v. Holder decision from June 2013. Johnson played up how "a divided Supreme Court gutted part of that law – throwing into chaos a system that had required...states to ask for federal permission before making election changes."
NPR's new TV critic Eric Deggans took to NPR's "race, culture, and ethnicity" page to complain "Who Will Replace Letterman? Probably Another White Guy." Deggans asked (his italics): "Why are there so many white guys dominating late night talk show television?"
It's the target audience, he said: "So daytime TV is bursting with Ellens and Oprahs, Latifahs and Katies, Barbaras and Julies, while nighttime runneth over with Jons, Jimmys, Davids, Conans, Stephens, Craigys and even a Carson or two." Deggans utterly ignored the actual black late-night host on broadcast TV, Arsenio Hall, even though his show was just renewed for a second season and beat Conan's ratings recently with Prince in the house.
At NPR's food blog "The Salt" on Tuesday, Eliza Barclay channeled the fat-shamers (with no quote from Michelle Obama) who want the Girl Scouts to stop selling addictive cookies. They don't make the world a better place.
Barclay pushed how "a few brave voices argue it's no longer all that delightful to see little girls peddling packaged cookies, or to buy them in the name of supporting the community. (And no, this is not an April Fools' joke.)" It's a public health menace:
NPR's quiz show "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" is known for its unabashed liberalism so it should come as no surprise that the program would mock the Christian crafts store Hobby Lobby in the wake of their Supreme Court case.
The episode, which aired on Saturday March 29, featured guest host Mike Pesca, sports reporter for NPR, who joked that "Hobby Lobby was originally named Granny's Prophylactic Attic." The entire panel then proceeded to poke fun at the company for not wanting to cover two forms of birth control it views as ending life. [MP3 audio here.]
Monday March 31 is the deadline for individuals to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act without facing a penalty and on Monday March 31 the folks at NPR's "Morning Edition" did their best to spin the so-called success of ObamaCare in New Hampshire.
NPR reporter Tamara Keith hyped how despite polls in New Hampshire showing ObamaCare's unpopularity, "Enrollments in the state have greatly exceeded expectations." The story then went on to promote the story of Lisa Kerrigan who at 25 was "The ideal target for a sophisticated campaign in New Hampshire aimed at getting people to sign up for coverage."
National coverage of Michelle Obama's trip to communist China has been overwhelmingly glowing and shamelessly quiet on Team Obama's decision to allow no press contingent to follow along, because the trip was apparently "not political." The networks dutifully repeated that with no protest, despite more than 30 tweets from the First Lady's account touting her trip.
But NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday deserves some kind of booby prize for burying the story of the press pool-drowning. Anchor Rachel Martin blatantly discussed how the Chinese press was fascinated by the trip, while ignoring the restricted access of American journalists.
Remember back in the Bush years when the left deemed dissent to be the most glorious form of patriotism? As every conservative knew, that allegedly principled belief was contingent upon a Republican serving as president.
Once a Democrat returned to the White House, this ardent trumpeting of dissent as humanity's highest calling oddly began falling into disrepute, as to be expected whenever cults of personality take hold around leaders of dubious strength. (Audio after the jump)
President Obama filled out his annual bracket for the NCAA Tournament and NPR's All Things Considered predictably fawned over the "annual ritual" in which "President Obama" turned sports analyst today." The online piece ha a similar cheerleading theme which proclaimed that "In ACA March Madness, Obama's Bracket Is Just A Role Player."
On Wednesday March 19, NPR's Audie Cornish gushed at how "It's not just the health of the Michigan State players on the president's mind. The White House is using this as part of its own full-court press. As NPR's Scott Horsley reports, their goal is to boost enrollment in the government's health insurance exchanges." [Click here for audio.]
OK, try to follow this: It's St. Patrick's Day. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. There's a silly old saying about "the luck of the Irish." "Getting lucky" is a term for having sex. So of course NPR had a "Get Lucky" promotion featuring R&B songs about sex. How else would you logically celebrate St. Patrick's day?
Government-funded National Public Radio (NPR) touted, "Get Lucky On St. Patrick's Day With These 25 R&B Songs." The NPR staff introduced the piece, advertising, "Get ready for St. Patrick's Day with these 25 lucky love songs from NPR R&B."
NPR prides itself on being globally sophisticated. So why on Earth would one of its correspondents ask "Which Place Is More Sexist, The Middle East Or Latin America?"
On NPR's "Parallels" blog, Lourdes Garcia-Navarro suggested Brazil is just as oppressive for women as Egypt or Iraq, in a different way. She concluded: "Activists often target the Middle East for its policies towards women. But as living in Brazil has taught me, for women, even having all the freedom in the world can be its own cage."
What a "coincidence!"
While the Senate Democrats are currently engaged in a Global Warming (now conveniently called "Climate Change") all nighter publicity stunt whose real purpose even a Washinton Post reporter claimed was to raise desperately needed campaign cash, the usual suspects in the media are suddenly reporting about this mostly forgotten topic. Among these media outlets, perhaps the most comedically entertaining report came from National Public Radio station WBUR in Boston which conducted a bizarre survey of computerized voice shoutouts to somehow determine how much the sea level has risen in South Florida. The transcript is below the jump but you must listen to the computer voice survey to fully savor the hilariously surreal nature of this report.
Leftists and libertarians who join them in their "national security state" rhetoric love Edward Snowden for leaking thousands of classified documents to leftist journalist Glenn Greenwald and to The Washington Post, exposing and compromising U.S. surveillance programs.
On Monday night, the public radio show "The World" – distributed to NPR stations across America by Minneapolis-based Public Radio International – oozed online that Snowden was "bigger than a rock star" in his appearance at an ACLU event at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. That same line was announced by anchorman Marco Werman:

devil fruit can transform ppl into many beings....but what about fish or sharks or somethin else involving water? if so, wouldn't they have no problem in the ocean?
just a thought
The only one we have seen that can actualy place his hand into water and not loose his strengh was Aokiji, which has the ice devil fruit...
Though that is an interesting thought Saxman one san...
Aokiji's not just gifted, he's an old experienced war-hero, and his power is more godlike than Eneru.
can we stop bringing eneru's name whenever we're discussing aokiji's power????? you're just starting the whole aokiji/eneru power debate all over again!!Quote:

Eneru's clearly not stronger than Aokiji. Aokiji killed a sea king while building a bridge at the same time. Eneru didn't kill the "King of the Sky", the giant snake, so he's clearly not as strong as he claims he is.
Eneru claims that he is God because humans fear lightning, especially in cloudy regions. However, humans also fear ice and the arctic. So Aokiji would be a God in cold regions.
I wonder if mermen or giantscan be affected by devil fruits. It doesn't seem like mermen eat fruits and vegetables, and giants simply are too large for the dfs.
What I want to know if devil frout can be passed down to descendants of the original person who ate them.
Just curious, whether Oda tries to extend the powers of the devil fruit further down the line. If it is possible, will that bastard child be able to have both the powers of 2 devil fruit user parents? Something this unusual would need to be explain because if we see a possible DF user having a child it raises certain question.
If it does happen, Oda sensei will have a mine field day explaining such phenomenon.
I have post something like that in DF develop. its interesting. when fish, fishhumans and mairmaids eat somthing like that. they will die directly.
If you think about it, it's just like art. When a painter messed up a painting, all he has to do is say, that he wanted it to come out like that thus makeing him start a whole new 'trend' to put it that way XDQuote:

But anyway...didn't Oda make it clear that only salt water makes devilfruit users weak?
Note: it is BLATANTLY obvious that Aokiji is much stronger (not to mention more experienced) than Eneru.
i dont think DF powers can be transferred from Parent to Child... DFs seem to mess with youre cell structure not DNA... so i doubt they would add together (althou a specific devilfruit that was an exception would be cool)

Embarkation on the MS AMAVERDE
... on the Danube - a tour of lights of Budapest. Ros initially was asleep so not on the upper deck with others. We viewed from the cabin window instead and have moved to front lounge with Ros. They are now playing Strauss's Blue Danube waltz while we relax in the ship's lounge taking in the night time lights of Budapest on the Danube - very moving.
Always available are late night snacks in the AmaVerde Lounge with music from the on-board musician Louis.

... ensure the water covered every square inch of the bathroom. Our room number was 2.1....aptly named, as they clearly measure their room sizes to the decimal point. Ok ok....it was cheap and the bed was clean.....so we can't complain. Our stay in Budapest was timed to perfection, as the next day, the city had their annual market festival. One of the main city streets was closed off, and stalls were erected all the way down....beer, local cuisine, chocolate, clothing and more was ...
Day 12 Flying from Budapest to Istanbul
... 5 different local restaurants that we never would have found on our own. We start with a delicious hummus topped with pastrami and some warm pita bread. The next stop was for soup and salad, and then came the most unique dish of the tour. We were served lamb liver and heart, BBQ'd on a skewer. This time you can't say "it tastes like chicken", because it doesn't. The liver has a strong gamey taste and the heart is better tasting, but ...

For those of you that appreciate a 5-star hotel, I'm sorry to inform you that even the exterior of the Intercontinental is the ugliest hotel on which we've laid eyes. It resembles a regional office of a paper supply company one would find in ...
From 'Pest to the 'Fest
... was the biggest I have stayed in so far (purely on bed numbers. We alone were in a 20 bed dorm, but that's nothing compared to the 290 that it could hold at one time.
That afternoon we ventured into Vienna, as we were staying a fair way out, and walked around the town. Luckily, after walking along the river, we stumbled across Austria's version of Oktoberfest. The place was littered with plenty of rides, people and beer halls.
Our walks then took us further along ...

Thoughts on kitchen design
Hey All!
I am trying to do a design on a small 1 bedroom apartment kitchen remodel myself. The plan is to use Viola Park, so most of the components in the mockup are based off what they offer.
Do you think a layout like this would work? The long wall is about 11'6".
I would encourage you to do a "U" shaped kitchen, or a partial "U" and move the stove away from the sink to create a fuller work triangle. I would also create a wider bar area with cabinetry below or even a drawer microwave or plan for one in the future when your budget allows. I would put the oven beneath the cooktop/stove. Where does the side doorway lead? And what is above the sink? Finally, I'm guessing that you own the apartment and how many square feet is it in total? Thank you!
Agreed totally. This isn't the space for a separate wall oven and cooktop. It's a kitchen for a range. The other issue is if that is a sidewall next to the fridge, depending on it's depth, many fridge models won't open wide enough against it.
I'm also not sure what that lone panel represents? If it's an adjacent wall, can it be removed entirely? If not, then I'd ditch the island setup in favor of taking the peninsula all the way to the wall with a galley setup. Simple galley kitchens are the most efficient.
Thanks for the comments! The mockup is a little confusing, but you would walk in and the kitchen would be to the right. That one wall can't be taken down because it contains common elements.
The apartment is about 800 square feet. I am thinking a galley kitchen makes the most sense as well after reading your comments.
The thing above the sink is a 108 inch combination glass sliding door cabinet (16 inch tall) connected with an open shelf. There are also 2 z shelves inbetween the counter and the upper cabinet, may get rid of those.
It may not be possible, but to save even more space I would do a microwave over the single stove/oven. Definitely storage on that bar/peninsula by making it wider....and yes, fridge clearance. I think I would move the sink down to give you a longer run of counter space.
I think this kitchen looks great, I especially like how the eating area doubles as counter space.
Other posters are correct, though, when pointing out that the sink is uncomfortably close to the cooktop.
Can you move the small base cabinet that's currently to the left of the fridge so it's between the sink and the stove instead?
Love the fridge. Is it a Traulsen?

JC 28 Teamster Women's Caucus Reports on Chicago Conference
September 4, 2014 marked the beginning of the 12th Annual Teamster Women's Conference. This year it was held in Chicago and there were almost 1,200 Teamsters in attendance. Again, a record-breaking year.
Music played a large role in all of the daily ceremonies, with Gospel singers and a Bagpipe & Drum Corps. Director Becky Strzechoski was eloquent and strong-spoken, telling us:
"We stand up for workers rights and we will use the power of our vote this November".She was followed by General President James P. Hoffa, who informed us that the City of Chicago, Cook County, and the State of Illinois pronounced Friday September 5th to be "Teamster Women's Day."
FTC Considers Challenge to Food Merger
The Federal Trade Commission is considering a possible antitrust lawsuit to block the planned merger of Sysco Corp. and US Foods Inc., concerned that combining the nation's two biggest food suppliers to restaurants, schools and other institutions could threaten competition, according to people familiar with the matter.
The FTC, which has been investigating the merger for several months, is weighing other alternatives, such as requiring Sysco and US Foods to divest assets to competitors, these people said.
The commission hasn't yet decided whether to challenge the deal but a decision could come within weeks, these people said. The FTC in recent years has been relatively quiet on challenging mergers. Many big-name deals have landed instead at the Justice Department, which shares antitrust authority. The department last year filed lawsuits challenging major mergers in the airline and beer industries. Both cases ended with settlements before trial that allowed the deals to go forward.

Public Defenders Have Strong Ally in Local 690
TEAMSTER MAGAZINE, Summer 2013
Public employees in Eastern Washington have a strong ally in Local 690, representing more than 350 public employees in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. The Teamster local recently came to the defense of one of its members who works for the county as a public defender and won her reinstatement complete with back pay, benefits and sick leave.
"I was fired by the county, but thanks to the great representation from Local 690, I was reinstated in my job as a Spokane County Public Defender," said Carol Huneke. "Seven years ago we needed representation and turned to Local 690. I was the first person to join and now, due to the diligence of the Teamsters, I was reinstated to my job and can continue doing the work I love."
Huneke works as a public defender representing people who are accused of a crime and cannot afford an attorney, She enjoys the work, puts in long hours defending her clients and considers it a privilege to serve the community.
"The county denied our wrongful termination grievance so the local immediately filed for arbitration with the county and the local's legal team went to work preparing this very complicated case for arbitration," said Val Holstrom, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 690. "The process took 14 months and Carol's arbitration lasted seven days but we were up to the challenge. We fought for Carol and won. The arbitrator ordered the county to reinstate her with no loss of seniority and make her whole for all lost wages and benefits."
ABF Members Approve National Master Freight AgreementABF members have approved the ABF National Master Freight Agreement, which protects workers' health, welfare and pension benefits and helps save 7,500 union on freight jobs.
Members also approved 21 of the 27 supplements. At press time, the National Freight Division was working with local unions to re-vote the supplements before the national contract could take effect.
The agreement will run for five years, retroactive to March 31, 2013.

By 2007, virtually everyone acknowledged Tauheed Epps could flow like few others in the Southern Rap genre. A former scholarship athlete at Alabama State, the six-foot-five homie could still hoop a little, too. Yet, as rival and colleague rappers made power moves up the Billboard charts, his rap career arc plateaued, for years.
Part of the issue for Epps stemmed from an inertial response to the need to personally transform. Doomed to become a career "guest-appearance" rapper and never the top-biller, Tauheed finally heeded some sage advice, and it began w...

"I pop bottles, but I don't pour."
We now return to the scenes of the crimes.
Losers of three straight for the first time in forever, our Atlanta Hawks have fallen flat against some of the best of the West, something that could be problematic if they're fortunate enough to be playing in June but fail to adjust defensively. The good news is just one of their final 12 contests will be against a Western Conference opponent.
Even better? The Hawks built up much of their gaudy 53-17 record on their own Southeast Division. Two lucky buzzer-beating, victory-stealing shots are just about al...
Hawks - Spurs Game Preview
Mar 22 2015 11:50 AM by lethalweapon3
"One day soon… all of this will be yours…"
Along the way to the best mark in the Eastern Conference, and their first Division title in 21 years, Mike Budenholzer's Atlanta Hawks have defeated… at least once… every single team in the NBA.
Except for one.
Coach Bud's former employer pays him a visit, as Gregg Popovich's defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs roll into the Highlight Factory (3:00 PM Eastern, SportSouth, FoxSports Southwest). While the Hawks are licking their wounds from a bruising road trip and seeking to avoid losing three-straight for the first time in nearly a calendar year, the Spurs have a little bit more to be concerned about.
At just 43-25, San Antonio is looking down at the k...

Birdbath Junk
We call it birdbath art, and the birds love all the new perches for them.
Image link:
Looks nice and cool there for the birds.
Like the staggered height of the houses.
One of the birdhouses is a chicken and it does have wings.If you would like to see a bigger pic I will post my blog.
Here is a link that might be useful: Junk Birdbath
Bluegirl, your garden is drop dead gorgeous! I'm glad you posted your full sized pictures. I love love love your chicken bird house!! Wherever did you find it?
And I also love the little pond you created in a planter, with the little green frog atop one of the rocks. I really want to put a water feature of some sort in one of my perennial beds, and this has given me inspiration to create a miniature pond!
Thank you for posting.
I love your little birdhouse trio. I can fully understand why the birds love it too! Your birdbath looks pretty awesome too. You have some gorgeous pictures on your blog. That red and yellow striped rose is absolutely stunning along with the pictures of the birds. Thanks so much for sharing your remarkable garden!

Why Is This Being Built In China And Not The United States?
Remember when the United States was the country building world renowned landmarks like the Hoover Dam (1936), the Empire State Building (1931), the Golden Gate Bridge (1937), the Chrysler Building (1930) and the Willis Tower AKA Sears Tower (1973)?
Notice the dates.
We sure don't seem to be building 'em like we used to, do we?
Now, read this story and ask yourself a simple question: Why isn't this happening here instead of in China?
According to its engineers, this will be the tallest skyscraper in the world by the end of March of 2013. Its name is Sky City, and its 2,749 feet (838 meters) distributed in 220 floors will grow in just 90 days in Changsha city, by the Xiangjiang river. Ninety days!
It's not a joke. According to the construction company, the skyscraper will be built in just 90 days at the unbelievable rate of five floors per day.
It's hard to believe, but they claim the building has been designed by some of the engineers who previously worked at the Burj Khalifa. It is also the same firm that built a full 30-story hotel in 15 days–which yes, is still standing and in perfect working condition.
Foundation work is beginning at the end of the month, once the Chinese authorities give the final go ahead to the project.
In 1969, we put a man on the moon. Today, we don't even have a manned spaced mission anymore. In 2001, the WTC was knocked down by Al-Qaeda and if all goes as planned, which is a very big if, the replacements will start to be completed in 2013 and will be finished in 2016.
Slowly, but surely, this country is losing its resilence, its capacity to innovate and its ability to create and the only thing we hear in response is happy talk or outrage that anyone would point out the truth. Until we admit that we have a problem and begin to start working on a solution, we are doomed to continue sliding backward.

radiant floor heating warmly yours vs. suntouch
hi all,
anyone with experience with either of these? i can get warmly yours for a cheaper price though directbuy. the contractor sent me an estimate including installation for suntouch radiant heating, which was about $1700 for about a 5X7' space.
How is it going to be installed-self leveling compound or thinset troweled on?
Are the wires plan wires or is it embedded in a mat system?
I spent about spent about $450 for my Suntouch WarmWire system. This included the wire, the thermostat with temp probe, extra temp probe, and mounting straps.
This did not include the plastic lath about $50 (cant remember); self leveling compound x 5 bags at $30/bag; foam self stick 1/4x3/4 window insulation that I used around the periphery (to stop flow of SLC into wall space); cheap caulk to caulk all the openings, edges, and between the joints of the subfloor; staples; self leveling primer. And of course labor, in this case mine and my DH.
The mat type wire is more expensive but there is no lath needed.
This is my experience and I could have missed something. I have only done 2 floors now.
Both mesh mat products are fine, they've been around for a few years now and I've installed both of them.
Regarding the mesh mats, look at the output of each as they are different; one 12W, the other 15W. That may or may not be important to you.
Then there are the "DIY" lathe and cable setups that Enduring mentioned. No mesh mat, so you have to do the layout/spacing. A little more work, but you can get the coverage you need where you need it.
I used Warmly Yours a few years ago, on a DIY install, and the company was good to work with. When I figured out that I needed to change the layout based on my changing the angle of the peninsula, their technical support staff worked up a new workable layout the same afternoon that I contacted them. Also since I was embedding the mesh in the thinset beneath the tile (rather than using SLC) I really appreciate the small device that they provide that connects to the wires while you are installing the tile, and it will give an immediate beep if you break or cut a wire.
Hi, sorry I can't answer your last question. But let me add to my comment above that my electrician wanted me to install 240v instead of the 110v option. He will hook it up to the electrical panel. And as bob_cville mentions, an ohm meter is needed to check the integrity of the system as you are installing the wires and floor covering.
Re: the electromagnetic field - it *may* interfere with implanted medical devices. I have a type of pacemaker - Deep Brain Stimulation - and I have to be at least 10 feet away from things like our computer printer when I'm adjusting my electrical settings on my device. In my case, though, it doesn't interfere with the actual functioning of my "pacemaker". I wonder if it'd be a problem with cardiac pacemakers?

Looking for something real. Headgamers need not stop by.
Hi. Thanks for dropping in. There is so much more to a person than can be described in a paragraph but I will try to tell you a little bit about myself... I have spent the last decade raising my daughter by myself and am pretty proud of her!. Honesty is huge with me..both in giving it and receiving it. I am always up for smiles, giggles, and bellyaching laughter. I am a huge fan of nature and love to be outside from early morning sunrises, playing in a park, long walks in search of shells or sea glass on a beach, relaxing in a hammock, BBQing with family/friends, kicking back around a fire, or crashing in a tent under the stars. I enjoy dining out and like everything from sushi/seafood, Mexican, Italian, Chinese to good old fashioned greasy burgers. Couch cuddle time while watching a good movie and drinking a glass of wine is a perfect evening for me. Comedies are my favorite as I enjoy a good laugh but I am pretty open to just about anything. I have been out of the bar scene for quite some time but would not mind going to one on occasion. I am looking to meet a man who is honest and straightforward, fun loving with a great sense of humor, caring and compassionate, sensible and able to communicate his thoughts and feelings. If you are still reading and would like to know more shoot me an Email and we'll see where it goes from there.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Bowling, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs

My daughter, my family/friends, sushi, rock and roll, sunsets, the moon/stars, vacations in the OBX, local wineries, great times with a fun companion, laughing until my cheeks hurt, roller coasters, and sunshine on my face are a few of my faves!!!
Always up for a new adventure! PS. See above ^^^

Promising New Drug May Cure Malaria 190
from the take-that-mosquitoes dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
No, more tourists and less malaria will result in a population exploding until it starts to get slowed down by starvation again.
Seriously. What is needed is education and control facilities, and a complete reversal of the hilariously ridiculous idea that endless exponential growth is the ideal to strive for (that goes for the entire world, not just Africa).
Beyond the savings in human lives, there should be a productivity boom. Malaria is contracted periodically in adulthood by people in an environment where it is prevalent, and it can wipe out an individual's productivity for a couple weeks at a time, several times a year. In some areas, it can be contracted with the same frequency with which westerners are used to the common cold. So, you're looking at perhaps a 10% increase in productivity just from keeping adults at work instead of in their sickbed or tending sick children.
How can you work when the system's so crowded?

Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Ian Dipple Thursday 14 August 2014 Updated: 15/08 09:08
THE HISTORY and wonders of a Redditch church will be on show as it welcomes the public through its doors once again.
St Peter's Church in Church Lane, Ipsley will be allowing visitors to explore the building's beauty and mysteries during the last two weeks in August.
There has been a church on the site since Anglo Saxon times as a priest was mentioned in the Doomsday book. Many people come to explore family history, especially descendants of Sir John Huband, Knight of Ipsley who died in 1319.
Other features include a brass communion table cross in memory of Henry Dolben, another family closely connected with St Peter's.
Thomas Bartley, who lost his life aged 18 fighting in the First World War while serving as a private with the Worcestershire Regiment 4th Battalion, is also buried in the churchyard.
The church is open from Tuesday to Thursday August 19 to 23 August from 10am until 4pm. A treasure trail for children will be available.
