Spokane, WA, United States | Member Since 2009
I tried to read Tolkien when I was young but it just didn't hold my attention - too many weird names (I hate when I don't know how to pronounce a name in my head) and songs and maps to keep track of. Even though I've seen all the movies (and the animated version of The Hobbit of course), I've always felt left out - I knew that true Tolkien fans had some inner level of cool that I lacked. Now, I am SO glad I missed out as a kid because it made listening to the audio version so much better! The narrator is perfect and of course the writing is superior. I am going to listen to the rest of them and really hope they are as good as The Hobbit.
"Artistry in Audio"
This incredibly well-produced and narrated audio version of a literary masterpiece is going into my top 10. The story is gruesome and attention-grabbing but the real beauty is in the exploration of every person involved, as well as all of the events leading up to, and following the crime. This one had me riveted enough to leave the TV off for just a little bit longer so I could finish listening to one more chapter - that is extremely rare for me. My opinion is 5 stars without a doubt.
"Sweet and Funny"
I always loved watching Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show and in all those Disney movies from my childhood. This book reveals that he is just as adorable in real life as he is on the screen. If you're looking for scandal or dirty secrets then you'll be disappointed - the man doesn't have any skeletons in his closet. Instead you'll find some entertaining stories and touching sentiments; I'm not big on heartwarming squishy stuff - but it couldn't be anything else considering the subject matter so I have to give it 4 stars.
"Freaky Fun in Outerspace"
Wil Wheaton is fantastic as a narrator - his performance alone brings the overall score of this book up to 4 stars. He is the perfect match to John Scalzi's cleverly written comedic action-adventure. This is the kind of book that plays in your brain like a movie - I could easily see this being turned into a script and put on the big screen. The story moves fast and the characters are easy to like - snarky, intelligent, and just plain fun. I really like this lighter version of sci-fi that doesn't require one to have a degree from MIT to follow - I'm sure it breaks a million scientific laws but to me it sounds all perfectly plausible and gets me excited for a future where I could have a monster sidekick to pal around with and to eat annoying people for me. This one is Spaceballs on crack - enjoy!
"Engaging... but brutal"
I went into this one craving a historical epic - a tale of the American west with cowboys and native Americans; the struggles and hard-won victories that took place on the fringes of civilized life. I was not disappointed - this book gave me all of that and added in a level of brutality and harsh humanity I wasn't expecting. The first chapters were difficult to listen to, in that the suffering of children always seems to get to me more than anything else. The disjointed way the chapters are laid out - each being entries in the diaries of various characters scattered around during completely different decades - made it hard to follow. I think hearing 3 or 4 chapters in a row from the same person might have been better for me. It took over half the book to figure out how some of them were related to each other and there seemed to be so many holes that never really get filled in at the end. That being said, I did find myself looking forward to listening and ended up enjoying it overall. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an old-westy kind of story but keep in mind that you will hear some pretty vicious stuff about the way people treated each other back when America was still becoming a country. And if you are prone to being upset about the portrayal of white people, native Americans, or Mexican people back in the 1800's to early 1900's then be forewarned that you could find this book controversial.
"It's good to freak out sometimes"
As a fan of the weekly Freakanomics podcast, I came into this with a good idea of what to expect - which means the joy of surprise and enchantment a first-time listener may experience was bound to be elude me. I was right about that - nothing super earth-shaking for me, however my expectations were more than met and I really enjoyed this sequel to Freakanomics. These guys are just plain awesome and their mass appeal is obvious; I would recommend this for group car rides where you want everyone to think a little bit, discuss a little bit, laugh, and enjoy an escape from superficial assumptions about the world we live in. This would also be great for someone looking to increase their stash of interesting conversation starters for parties or awkward first dates (you may want to avoid the patriotic prostitutes though).
"The Fool Returns....to Applause!!"
Oh joyous delight!! The return of our beloved "Fool" aka "Pocket" ready to wreak havoc and run amok once again! For fans of "Fool" - you will love the deliciously salty language and abundant sexual innuendo woven throughout this tale of love and betrayal. I have not read The Merchant of Venice (yes, I know - for shame..) but it's so much better from the literary genius that is Christopher Moore - perhaps our generation's Shakespeare - after all, wasn't he thought to be quite edgy-bordering-on-vulgar back in his day? Anyway, for new readers - dive right in - you don't have to know much about the other book to enjoy it - all you need is a love for inappropriate humor, saucy characters, and tragedy perfected. I didn't give it 5 stars across the board because I did like Fool a little bit better and I reserve all 5's for only a select few. That said, I forgot to mention the narrator who needs to be nominated for an award - he IS Pocket - the performance is seamless and the production is fantastic. Great audio book - 4.5 stars.
"Cute & Entertaining"
I was hoping for something light and funny to give myself a break from the heavy stuff I've been lost in recently - this clever half-bio / half-monologue did the job nicely. I will say that it was a bit more bubblegum than I normally prefer, but I realize that I'm probably 15 years older than the high-end of her intended demographic, so I tried to keep that in mind when I found myself rolling my eyes too much. The narration was fine but I suggest listening to the sample first - her voice is child-like. For comedy writing, it's not bad - it has profanity, sarcasm, & amusing anecdotes - I would recommend it to young women in their late teens/early twenties without hesitation.
"This one's a dog..."
I was looking forward to learning all about the fascinating history of rabies and it's effect on man and beast throughout history. The book contains tons of factual and anecdotal information (some of it gruesome which is right up my alley) - it should've been a hit for me but I didn't enjoy it so I can't bring myself to give it more than 2 stars. It's not the authors' fault; the narrator's vocal tone made it hard for me to concentrate on the story and I found myself trying to get through it in small bites to avoid the irritation. It may just be a personal thing with me - so listen to the free sample and if the narration doesn't bother you after a few minutes then go for it - the content is fine.
"Snakes on a plane!!!"
Ever wonder what might be in all the suitcases that glide past you on the luggage carousel at the airport? After listening to this captivating expose' of pet suppliers and their quasi-cartel smuggling operations, I will make sure to keep my distance from that weird lady with the oddly squirming carry-on the next time I have to fly. The story flips between the perspective of the good guys and the bad guys - although at times you wonder which is which - so you end up learning a little about about how to be a great smuggler/criminal and a little about how to catch them. Entertaining and informative - an easy 4 star rating for this great listen.
"Way better than the movie"
I saw this movie a few years back and wasn't too impressed - I'm glad I decided to give the book a chance. This is one of those pieces that grabs you early and doesn't let go - although gruesome at times, it gets into your head and makes you want to find out what insane thing can possibly happen next. The dialogue comes across as authentic which is just as important to a book as the events that take place - bad dialogue can ruin an otherwise perfect story. Augusten Burroughs is amazingly talented at both writing and narration - I will definitely be listening to his other titles.

New Case Against Microsoft Brought To European Commission
The Dutch software dealer HW Trading has proffered a complaint concerning Microsoft's marketing practices to the European Trade Commission. The reason: Microsoft has for years been selling its products at a higher price in Europe than it does in America.
A report on the Dutch news platform Webwereld says that lawyers of HW boss Samir Abdalla, have brought claims that Microsoft's price policy is in breach of Articles 81 and 82 of the European Community Treaty. According to the report, Microsoft had accused Abdalla of illegal license sales in California to the sum of 3.8 million dollars.
Abdalla is hitting back by bringing his case before the EU's Trade Commissioner, Neelie Kroes. Kroes is known for championing open trade standards and in the past, her department has not shied away from punishing Microsoft with million dollar fines.
The Dutch business man says he can provide enough documentation to support his claim. He compared Microsoft's US and European dealer price lists between 2004 and 2008 and found prices for identical products to be 30 to 50% higher in Europe. Coupled with Microsoft's 95% market share for its Office products, the price discrepancy represents an abuse of its market-leading position.
Because of the similarity of markets in the US and Europe, Microsoft cannot in this case claim special conditions, for example, cheaper labour costs, says the report, and currency fluctuation is not an issue because the European price lists are also in US Dollars. Also, Abdalla sees the anti-piracy rules, under which he faces charges in America, as an attempt by Microsoft to stem the legal parallel trade. Abdalla's arguments go further: Microsoft forbids the distribution of its operating system on CD or DVD, so that consumers who buy a new PC are unable to use the previous license. All this constitutes commercial abuse, says Abdalla.
If the EU Commission agrees with his arguments and finds European consumers and companies at a grave disadvantage remains to be seen, but any decision most likely will have no influence on Microsoft's case against HW Trading in the US.

Rangers can't keep pace in loss to Yanks
NEW YORK -- In his office afterwards, Rangers manager Ron Washington briefly stared down at his desk and massaged his temples with his fingers. He didn't look like a manager whose team has been in first place for 19 days, and was asked what his team needed most right now.
"We need a well-pitched job," Washington said. "That's what we need, whether it's a starter or somebody out of the bullpen. We need somebody to pitch a good game so our offense has a chance to breathe again."
On Wednesday, the Rangers got whacked for the second straight night as their pitchers allowed eight walks, five home runs and hit a batter in a 12-4 loss to the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Derek Holland took the loss while allowing six runs in five innings, but the bullpen was hit just as hard.
Holland allowed his six runs on seven hits, five walks and a hit batter, without striking out a batter. He allowed 13 of 26 men he faced to reach base.
Holland had a 2-0 lead in the first and a 4-3 lead after three innings, but couldn't take advantage of it. Instead he suffered his second loss of the season, and both have come at Yankee Stadium.
"I'm not happy at all," Holland said. "The team was scoring runs for me and I did a horrible job keeping down the damage. I'm very upset with the amount of walks. I pitched behind the whole game. The team kept scoring runs, and I kept screwing it up and not holding it down."
The loss was the Rangers' fourth straight and seventh in their last nine games. They have been outscored 38-10 during the four-game losing streak. They maintain a tenuous hold on first place in the American League West, but their starting pitching staff has a 7.51 ERA in the nine games since their consecutive shutouts over the Indians in Cleveland.
"We've got to pitch better," catcher Yorvit Torrealba said. "We're finding a way to score three or four runs, but the pitching has not been good lately. Pitching behind in the count has been the big issue. When we were playing well, we were pounding the strike zone."
Mark Teixeira led the Yankees' charge with a pair of two-run home runs. The Rangers have lost six of eight to the Yankees this season and four of five in the Bronx. The two teams play for the final time during the regular season on Thursday afternoon.
"We're not worried at all ... we just have to play better," designated hitter Michael Young said. "We've got a good team. We just got beat up the last few nights, but we'll come out tomorrow and play hard."
Holland left trailing, 6-4. Mark Lowe, normally used in the late innings, came in for the sixth and gave up three runs on home runs to Ramiro Pena and Teixeira. Neftali Feliz, who had not pitched on this road trip, was used in the eighth to get some work and allowed a three-run home run to Robinson Cano.
The Rangers revved up their running game to get two runs in the first inning. Ian Kinsler hit the first pitch of the game into left field for a single, and then stole second. Elvis Andrus drew a walk and Josh Hamilton grounded a single through the left side.
That scored Kinsler and left runners at the corners. Andrus scored when Young forced Hamilton at second with a slow grounder to shortstop and the Rangers had a 2-0 lead.
They didn't have it for long. The Yankees needed only 10 pitches to tie it up in the bottom of the inning. Holland got Nick Swisher on a popup, but hit Curtis Granderson with a pitch. Teixeira then jumped on a 2-1 fastball and crushed it over the left-field wall for a two-run homer.
"I had bad command of my fastball, and I didn't locate it well," Holland said. "I fell behind almost every hitter."
After the Yankees scratched out a run in the second, Kinsler tied it up with a leadoff home run in the third inning, his first since May 27, and the Rangers' first in five games. A one-out double by Hamilton, an infield single by Young, and Adrian Beltre's sacrifice fly gave the Rangers a 4-3 lead.
But Holland couldn't keep them ahead. He did retire the side in order in the third, but Eduardo Nunez, who is playing shortstop in Derek Jeter's absence, led off the fourth with a game-tying home run.
The Yankees took the lead for good in the fifth after Holland walked Alex Rodriguez with one out. He advanced to second on Cano's slow grounder to second, and scored on a single by Andruw Jones. A walk to Nunez and an RBI single by Francisco Cervelli made it 6-4.
"We go out, get two on the board and give it back," Washington said. "We take the lead and we give it back. All of a sudden they score six runs in three straight innings. If you can't keep these guys in the park it's going to be a long night."
It was for Holland, and it has been lately for the Rangers' pitching staff.
"Holland's got the stuff, he's got to execute pitches," Washington said. "If you don't execute against this team, that's what they are capable of doing."

Gas company vs HVAC regarding furnace repair
I am posting this becuase I want to make sure I'm making a good decision so I thought this would be a great place to get some feedback.
I live in a manufactured home in Southern CA. It was built in 1975. Our heater has been an awesome performer, blows hot air and heats up the home fast. (FYI: we've done some major remodeling, new roof, sheet rock instead of paneling, etc...) It's very well insulated. (in case you need some extra info).
I had the gas company out to check our appliances last week. He checked the furnace and said that there was a yellow flame, should be burning blue and found a minor crack in the heater exchange. He said that could be monitored every year or so and to get the flame issue repaired.
Perfect. I called an HVAC company (referred by a friend). They say the furnace is dead. The pilot doesn't seem to stay lit... they found several cracks in the firebox. The carbon-monoxide threat was too great and they didn't recommend a "band aid" fix.
They said a new furnace would be at least $4500 to buy/install. They also said that because this is a mobile home, there is only one that can be installed in here and they are very expensive...
Then they charged me $105 for the "service check" and said if I went with them, they would deduct that from the cost.
They never even turned the furnace on!
We just had the furnace on last week in it worked fine...no pilot problems.
So, I did some googling, found out that there are several models that can be used in mobile homes. Not just one.
So I guess I had 3 questions:
Is it customary for a HVAC company to charge for whatever is needed for a "quote"? (now I feel stupid even handing them a check)
What is an average install cost?
In order to determine BTU, is the formula: square footage x 30 = btu output?
Thank you... I appreciate you taking the time to read this. My husband is out of town and I want to be sure I don't sign or commit to anything that is unnecessary.
you paid for the service call..and your peace of mind.
if they do the install, your $105 will go towards
the price. sort of a thanks for chosing our company.
you should have yearly check ups on your equipment to
catch problems before they get too bad.
cracked heat exchanger isn't anything to play around with.
granted it worked before, but carbon monoxide kills.
I wouldn't take the chance.
I'm suprised gas company didn't red tag the unit..
or the hvac company.
I don't know prices for trailer furnaces, you
could get more quotes.
I think size is a big constraint for trailers.
the one they recommended may be in the line
of brands they carry & service. the ones
you googled may not be brands they carry or
get more bids. compare equipment & prices.
rule of thumb sizing is common, but not the
best way to size equipment.
best of luck.
A few red flags with the HVAC company. The furnace must be listed for a mobile home. And using the identical model means that the base flange will fit with no problem. If that is the case, a couple of knowledgeable people can do it in two hours.
$4500 is quite steep if the furnace is just a direct interchange.
And they seem to just have jumped on the replacement kick without properly evaluating your existing furnace.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mobile home
Thanks... my update should be interesting. Yes the Gas Co did have a reg tag on it that I hadn't seen before.
Regardless, I called the Gas Co back for another check. This time a different guy showed up. He could not find any of the issues that the first gas guy found and definitely didn't see any issues that the HVAC company found. The pilot stayed lit, the flame didn't "smother" and he could not find any evidence of cracking.
He suggested that we look into a new furnace, however, this one would be fine for now.
Go figure! It is an upflow furnace and I do realize that we need one rated for mobile homes. I am definitely going to start looking for a new one, but he said it shouldn't come close to 4500.
Since the gas company isn't making to look money off of me, I am more comfortable with their findings than I am with the HVAC company.
Thanks for your responses...it's been a very educational day for me.
My husband worked for So Cal Gas for 43 years in most of the jobs that they have.
His suggestion is that you call the Gas Co back and ask to have a supervisor come out.
You don't want to take chances with your life if you do actually have a cracked heat exchanger.
Hope this helps.
The supervisors have years more experience than the techs.
We had an issue with a wall furnace at an apartment that we rented out. My husband actually had the supervisor look at the furnace and the problem was entirely different than what the service tech said. It was actually a clogged roof vent.
Good luck.
Do you have a working carbon monoxide detector? That is the first thing I would do....today. Like NOW!
They actually installed one right on the duct next to my furnace when I got my new system installed. I didn't ask for it, so it must be standard procedure now (or may be just part the program I went thru which also includes safety checks--they also changed my dryer vent from that tinfoil stuff to a rigid one)

Ivory Coast rubber firm Sogb says 2013 net profit falls sharply
ABIDJAN, March 20
ABIDJAN, March 20 (Reuters) - Ivory Coast natural rubber producer Sogb's net profit fell to 5.84 billion CFA Francs ($12.27 million) in 2013, from 15.24 billion CFA Francs ($32.02 million) the previous year, the company said on Thursday.
"The drop in the results relative to the previous year is mostly due to the drop in the sales price of rubber and palm oil by 23 and 19 percent respectively," the firm said in statement sent to the West Africa BRVM Bourse. ($1 = 475.9000 CFA Francs) (Reporting by Loucoumane Coulibaly; Writing by Emma Farge; Editing by Daniel Flynn)

Thoughts? I think this movie alone despite going straight to DVD and Blu Ray will be WAY better then Bride and Seed honestly...I also love how this sets up the remake due out next year or 2015 in theatres!
So, who's a Chucky fan here?
P.S. Curse Of Chucky retcons Bride and Seed of Chucky, for those wondering and is a DIRECT sequel from Child's Play 3...they said all will be explained as to how he lost his face being chopped and body as well, and how he comes back to life. One guy who saw the film early from bloody-disgusting said it's very similar to the first Child's Play movie, so if you're a fan of that kind of Chucky film you won't be disappointed.
And in 2014 or 2015, they confirmed the Child's Play reboot coming which will be in theatres!

The PL70 is Samsung's top of the range point and shoot camera and sells for around £150. For that, you get a handy 28mm wide-angle 5x zoom, HD movies, a barrage of face-detection options and a rather neat design. But is it enough to make it a winner?
Sharp-looking shooter
The PL70 certainly looks good, thanks to its brushed-metal finish, and it handles well too. It shares the same control layout as the cheaper PL60 , with a firm and positive mode dial and an effective four-way controller. A function button takes care of standard adjustments such as EV compensation, white balance, ISO and metering patterns, while more basic setup options can be found in the main menu system. The LCD display is big at 76mm (3 inches) across, and it's bright and clear too. The autofocus is good, though the PL70 is rather slow at zooming in and out.
There are some interesting nuggets of tech in this camera, including a Smart Auto mode that does a pretty good job of figuring out what you're shooting and adjusting the settings automatically. Smart Albums can categorise your pics after you've taken them, and an Auto Contrast Balance option is useful for tricky lighting conditions. There's also the usual raft of face detection/smile detection/blink detection options. And still on the theme of portraits, there's a Beauty Shot mode that retouches your subject's skin to make it look smoother.
That's all fine in theory, of course, but what are the pictures like? Pretty good, actually. The Samsung's colours are excellent, as is the definition, though as usual with compact cameras the subtler detail does tend to get smoothed over and the zoom loses some definition at maximum range.
The PL70 has a couple of smart practical touches too. It can be charged from the mains via the supplied adaptor or via a powered USB cable, and the camera has a Recycle Bin, just like a PC, so if you change your mind about deleting a picture you've got a chance to get it back again.

Signs send mixed messages on population
Editor's note: The following is part of an Echo Press feature, "You Asked." Readers are invited to send the newspaper a simple question and we'll try to get to the bottom of it.
A reader asked: Whatever direction you enter Alexandria, the population number is different on each road. Why is that?
Depending on which road travelers enter, it does appear as if the population changes. Some signs put Alexandria's population at 12,415. Others place it at 10,165.

Verizon Enterprise Solutions announced the expansion of its asset-tracking capabilities, with the introduction of Verizon Networkfleet Asset Guard. Designed to fit seamlessly on Verizon's existing Networkfleet vehicle tracking solution, Networkfleet Asset Guard runs on the Verizon Wireless network for fixed and moveable fleets such as trailers, yellow iron machines and generators.
A lightweight device with a built-in wireless antenna that easily attaches to a piece of equipment for wireless tracking, Verizon Networkfleet Asset Guard includes a long-lasting battery that allows for reliable location tracking over multiple years.
Using Networkfleet's online application, business owners can track assets alongside fleet vehicles to determine exact GPS locations. Reports and alerts show if and when an asset has been moved, which asset is closest to a particular location or landmark and when assets are moved outside of a predetermined virtual perimeter, or "geofence."

Brothers in Aircraft Crash Presumed Dead
(CODY, WY) – Two elderly men on a flight bound for Twin Falls that crashed last week are presumed dead. Brothers Robert and Ward Zimmerman took off from an airport in Cody, Wyoming on Saturday, but their plane crashed for unknown reasons just east of Yellowstone National Park. The plane was found Monday on a steep ridge prone to avalanche danger. Officials say it's too risky to conduct a recovery operation until the snow melts.

'work in' compost?
This question could have gone in several forums, but I decided on this one. I have some compost ready and would like to put it around some fruit trees that I put in the ground this past spring. Here in New Mexico we haven't had any rain for weeks, so I have dug a depression around each tree, such that I can give the tree several inches of water without it running off and watering my goat heads that fill the backyard. When I read to "work in" compost, what does that mean? Should I dig up the soil around the tree and add the compost? Can I simply put the compost in the depression and water it? The trees flowered briefly this spring but didn't fruit this year, which I understand is not unusual for first-year trees. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks, Father Nikolai
No need to work in the compost. It's necessary to work flour into bread dough and raisins into cookie dough...but the worms and weather will get the compost worked into your soil.
Laying the compost on top of the soil around a plant is called "top dressing" and it works very well......and is a lot less work!
Linda C
And may I suggest that instead of a depression around your trees that you build a small raised wall instead? We typically do this when planting new trees by using the left over backfill. An earth wall arranged in a wide ring around the tree will act like the wall of a moat, holding water over the roots of the trees.
By digging a depression, you may hinder root development into the surrounding soil volume. Believe it or not, the 'feeder roots' of these trees are remarkable shallow, but very wide spread. You want to do as little as possible to disturb them once they become established. A little light cultivating is acceptable, however. 'Scratching' in the compost with a hard rake or long handled cultivator would be a good thing.
If you generally want to work in compost, and it has reached the point where you can't tell what went into it, then you can put it onto soil you've already weeded/dug over and either fork or spade it through the loosened soil. It should cause no harm to new roots.
If it has arrived in bags, or straight from the mushroom growers, then it is safer on the surface. Something makes that pungent smell and its probably a bit too concentrated for young growth.
If it is homemade and still 'identifiable' ie semi-composted, then sieve it first, or take out the big chunks before applying it.
You mention that you've had a dry spell but I'm supposing that you've been keeping your young trees watered. For them you can pile on the compost 4-6" deep, BUT keep it loose so air gets through - and water, and keep it at least four inches away from their trunks.
When it next rains you'll need to loosen the surface of the compost mulch to keep it permeable. A surface cover of short dry twigs will help to do this and stop compost splashing onto your young plants.

'Dark Knight Rises' Director Christopher Nolan: Colorado Shooting 'Devastating'
Reacting publicly to the shooting tragedy at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, Chistopher Nolan issued a statement late Friday, speaking for the actors and crewmembers on The Dark Knight Rises.
"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community," Nolan said. "I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime.
"The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me," he continued. "Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families."
STORY: Colorado 'Dark Knight Rises' Shooting Witnesses Describe the Attacks
The attack, allegedly carried out by 24-year old former medical student James Holmes, has thus far claimed the lives of 12 theatergoers that were in attendance for the midnight showing of the Batman film. In total, 71 were shot, and 59 injured.
Earlier on Friday, Warner Bros. released a shorter statement, saying, "Warner Bros. and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time."
President Obama, who ordered that all public American flags be flown at half mast through July 25, spoke about the tragedy while in Ft. Myers, Florida, saying in part, "Now, even as we learn how this happened and who's responsible, we may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow human beings like this. Such violence, such evil is senseless. It's beyond reason. But while we will never know fully what causes somebody to take the life of another, we do know what makes life worth living. The people we lost in Aurora loved and they were loved. "

My vinyl flooring is turning black near my toilet......I kind of did the jump test to see if water was leaking and making the floor soft but it is hard and we looked from below (we have no ceilings downstairs) and see nothing unusual on the wood. I had a plumber out awhile back before this happened for a different suspected leak and he took the toilet off and actually put on two wax rings and stuck it back on so I wouldn't think it would be leaking.....do you think this is leaking or do you think condensation from the toilet is running under there and getting under the vinyl and causing mold? I don't have the toilet caulked to the floor at all.
And do I have to rip up everything and start over?
Is it mold or mildew? I've heard of mold growing under tile if there is a long term water leak, even if it's a slow leak. You don't see it until the tile gets loose and you investigate. I would imagine that with vinyl, it would be able to penetrate up to the surface.
They say soap and water is all you need to kill mold and mildew now and that bleach isn't all that necessary. I don't think you'll be able to stop it from continuing unless you look under the vinyl and see if it's growing and from where.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Recently renovated throughout, new kitchen and appliances and granite everywhere; whirlpool tub in master suite and a hot tub on the deck; WIFI and HDTV; 2 fireplaces, heated garage, guest parking and at the UTA Ski Bus stop.
I am a retired engineer/construction executive who continues to have a passion for skiing and all the ambiance that accompanies it.During the ski season, the townhome is occupied by me, friends and family for a considerable amount of the time .
Bill Bessette purchased this townhome in 2011
The Wasatch Mountains undeniably have some of the best and most diverse skiing in North America. The property is as close as you can get to the ski resorts except to be in one; and it was affordable.
Only a half hour drive from the low key Salt Lake City International Airport, The Oaks at Wasatch is a community of like minded skiing and recreational people. The UTA Ski Buses to Snowbird/Alta and Solitude/Brighton stop at the entrance making snowy day travel to and from the resorts easy and safe.
Dear Bill,
Thank you for allowing my family and me to rent your home.
Everyone enjoyed the house and loved the location.
Skiing was pretty awesome on most days!
Hopefully you will hear from me next year and will be willing to rent to us in 2015.
Great (probably the best) location for getting to the Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts (Brighton, Solitude, Snowbird and Alta), with very convenient access to other resorts and to Salt Lake City's many restaurants. The condo is very well maintained, very clean, and very nice; a great value, but if you are looking for super luxury you will have to pay a lots more. I would rent it again.
What a great place!! I can't think of anything that would have made our stay better. The house is huge, it was spotless, plenty of towels and linens were provided, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tub on the deck was the perfect way to relax after skiing. The location is also perfect - it takes exactly one left turn to get to Alta/Snowbird, and I think there were only 3 turns between the airport and the house. Dealing with the owner and his local guy was a pleasure, too. This place will definitely be my first choice next time I ski Utah.
Excellent location and property for our snow skiing trip to Utah. The owner's manager met us upon arrival and showed us around and how everything worked. Everything was clean and in working order. Nicely appointed, lots of storage, awesome hot tub, excellent kitchen and bathrooms. Only possible improvement would be a flat panel TV on the main level. We would definitely book this unit again if we return to Utah!
We had an awesome Spring skiing week. This home was reasonably priced and basically as close as you can get to Snowbird, Alta, Brighton and Solitude without staying at the resorts themselves. And close to Salt Lake City and Park City, too. The house was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. It was nice having the TV room downstairs along with the living room on the main level so we could all spread out. Bill always responded promptly to our questions and was a pleasure to work with. We would definitely stay here again when we are in the area. Thanks!
This condo is in great shape and could not be in a better location. It is 15 minutes from Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, and Solitude. It is also very close to restaurants and ski shops.
The home was well maintained and in a convenient location. Home was well cleaned and maintained - towels, dishes, and glassware were all available to use. Everything was as described and all rooms were cleaned and well taken care of.
Communication was somewhat slow when trying to make the reservation and follow up questions. I didn't receive the address of the home and directions for getting the keys until a few days before I was scheduled to arrive. I got a call from Albert before I arrived to make sure I received all the information and everything was all set and he was very response to any questions I had.
Overall, everything worked out well, the town home was very nice, and we had a great stay. I would stay again and recommend to friends.
Tucked into the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains midway between Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon, 9 miles to Alta/Snowbird and 15 miles to Brighton/Solitude. The UTA Ski Bus stops at the townhouse village making the ski resorts accessible even during the snowiest of days. Restaurants, super market, liquor and wine store, and ski shops are within a 5 to 10 minute drive. I 215 is readily accessible for longer journeys.

Abstract. Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs) ([EY04]) are a natural abstract model of procedural probabilistic programs and related systems involving recursion and probability. They succinctly define a class of denumerable Markov chains that generalize multi-type branching (stochastic) processes. In this paper, we study the problem of model checking an RMC against a given ω-regular specification. Namely, given an RMC A and a Büchi automaton B, we wish to know the probability that an execution of A is accepted by B. We establish a number of strong upper bounds, as well as lower bounds, both for qualitative problems (is the probability = 1, or = 0?), and for quantitative problems (is the probability ≥ p?, or, approximate the probability to within a desired precision). Among these, we show that qualitative model checking for general RMCs can be decided in PSPACE in |A | and EXPTIME in |B|, and when A is either a single-exit RMC or when the total number of entries and exits in A is bounded, it can be decided in polynomial time in |A|. We then show that quantitative model checking can also be done in PSPACE in |A|, and in EXPSPACE in |B|. When B is deterministic, all our complexities in |B | come down by one exponential. For lower bounds, we show that the qualitative model checking problem, even for a fixed RMC, is already EXPTIME-complete. On the other hand, even for simple reachability analysis, we showed in [EY04] that our PSPACE upper bounds in A can not be improved upon without a breakthrough on a well-known open problem in the complexity of numerical computation. 1

"Nobody likes Wotter" is a meme spawned from the popularity of Smugleaf/Tsutarja. In fact while Smugleaf is an instant meme, Wotter is more like Milhouse in the sense that… nobody likes him enough to care. This meme is actually the survival of a statement that is no longer true such as "PS3 has no games"
On May 9, 2010, the Generation V starter Pokémon were revealed on Pokémon Sunday. The starters for Pokémon Black and White included the Grass-type Tsutarja (Snivy, the Fire-type Pokabu (Tepig), and the Water-type Mijumaru (Oshawott). People have shown dislike for this pokemon, and state that "Nobody likes Wotter" even though he is actually the 2nd in popularity of the three starters.
Wotter can be found being ingored/disliked on DeviantArt, usally being bashed by other pokemon..
