How to Bake Chicken Wings
Edited by Chris, BR, Krystle, Laura and 5 others
Two Methods:Prepare the WingsPrepare the Spicy Dipping Sauce
You don't have to boil a vat of oil to get crispy chicken wings; you can bake them in the oven. The secret to the crispiness is to thoroughly dry the wings before you season and bake them.[1]
- Servings: 15 to 30 (allow 1/4 lb. ( .25 kg) per person)
- Prep time: 30, minutes
- Cook time: 60 minutes
- 3 to 6 lbs. (1 to 2 kg) medium-size chicken wings
- 2 tbsp. (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 tbsp. (14 g) salt
- 1 tsp. (4.7 g) garlic powder
- 1 tsp. (4.7 g) black pepper
- 1 tsp. (4.7 g) cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp. (15 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp. (1.1 g) cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp. (1.1 g) freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. (1.1 g) salt
- 1/4 c. (60 ml) hot pepper sauce
Method 1 of 2: Prepare the Wings
Bake Chicken Wings Step 1 Version 2.jpg1Position your oven rack to the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure your baking sheet full of wings will be at the mid-way point in your oven so that the heat will flow evenly around the pan while the wings are baking.Ad
Bake Chicken Wings Step 2 Version 2.jpg2Cover a baking sheet or a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 3 Version 2.jpg3Place a baking rack on top of the aluminum foil. This isn't strictly necessary, but putting the wings on the rack will keep the meat out of the grease that forms while they are baking.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 4 Version 2.jpg4Rinse the wings with cold running water. If you prefer, you can snip the tips of the wings off with kitchen shears and cut the wings into 2 parts. (Discard the tips.)
Bake Chicken Wings Step 5 Version 2.jpg5Lay the rinsed wings on a triple thickness of paper towels.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 6 Version 2.jpg6Put a triple thickness of paper towels on top of the wings. Press the towels down firmly to soak up the rinse water.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 7 Version 2.jpg7Prepare another set of triple thick paper towels and transfer the wings to them.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 8 Version 2.jpg8Pat the wings firmly with a new set of dry paper towels. (If necessary, repeat this process until the wings are thoroughly dry.)
Bake Chicken Wings Step 9 Version 2.jpg9Combine the oil and the spices in a large mixing bowl.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 10 Version 2.jpg10Add the wings to the oil and spice mixture and toss to coat. Make sure every piece is thoroughly coated with the oil and spices.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 11 Version 2.jpg11Position the wings on the baking sheet. Try not to let them overlap so that they cook evenly.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 12 Version 2.jpg12Examine the wings. If some of them don't look like they have enough coating, you can swipe them around the bottom of the mixing bowl to add some extra coating.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 13 Version 2.jpg13Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Check on the wings after 50 minutes to make sure they are not overcooking and drying out.
Method 2 of 2: Prepare the Spicy Dipping Sauce
Bake Chicken Wings Step 14 Version 2.jpg1Mix together the melted butter, salt and peppers in a mixing bowl.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 15 Version 2.jpg2Stir in the hot sauce.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 16 Version 2.jpg3Pour the sauce into dipping bowls. You can also toss the cooked wings in the hot sauce (use a large mixing bowl) and serve.
Bake Chicken Wings Step 17.jpg4Finished.Ad
- Experiment with different spices. Try adding or substituting chili powder, rosemary, soy sauce, honey or lemon pepper.
- You can make the dipping sauce as much as a week ahead of time. Keep it refrigerated until you are ready to use it, then heat it up in the microwave or heat slowly on the stovetop.
- Keep checking on the wings while they cook; they can dry out quickly. Covering them while they cook might be tempting, but it's best not to cover them with foil or a lid while they bake because they won't get as crispy.
Things You'll Need
- Large mixing bowl (2)
- Cookie sheet or flat baking sheet
- Aluminum foil (heavy duty is best)
- Baking rack
- Paper towels
- Kitchen shears (optional)

Street Fighter 4
(360, Arcade, PS3, PC, iPhone, Android )
Great gameBy Brendon Gilbert Score:
Feb 22, 2009 10:20PM PST
Street fighter has made its comeback in a big way. This game looks and feels so awesome i love the way the menus look and just the overall layout of the game the graphics are dazzleing. I do have a couple problems wiht it thoguht. First I feel most of the new characters are kind of useless El Fuerte mostly i just cant figure out how to use him it might just be me but im pretty sure he sucks. Yes seth is cheap as shit and he sucks once you unlock him becuase nobody can use him as good as the cheap A.I. but i sometimes found him to be quite easy depending on who i was useing. Gouken was also somewhat disaapointing i feel like he is not a powerful as he should be Akuma still pwns though so thats tight. C.Viper is the shit she feels like she belongs.
I know i have my gripes about this game but it is so awesome i forget about it instantly a definite must own for any fighting game fan.

When we face times of despair and lose hope we can turn to the promises found in God's Holy Word to find refuge and strength.
I hope these verses will strengthen you as they have strengthened me.
Do you have a favorite verse that helps you in difficult times? Please share it in the comments…
1. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
2. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
3. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
4. "May the God of hope fill you all with joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13
5. "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrew 14:5-6
6."And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Rev. 21:4
7."The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Zep 3:17
8."So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." Corinthians 4:16-18
9."May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you." 2 Thessalonians 3:16
10."The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1

I'm not sure where you got that one. The only credible theory related to it is the Chicxulub crater, which is on the Southern edge of the Gulf, near the Yucatan Peninsula. That's what's left by the impact that many believe killed most of the dinosaurs, as well as many other species. It's not even close to the size of the whole Gulf. What theories are you talking about?
It is just another example of shoddy tech/science journalism, to use the latter term loosely. Sensationalism gets people to click.
He just described it incorrectly. You don't have to be a douche about it. It ionizes a small area of the air, creating a 'plasma field' (their words) that disrupts the shock wave.
Grumpy? Not at all. You wouldn't want to see that; nobody does
It's just an example of a solution looking for a problem and thus opening the doors to more potential problems.
I'd rather make my own security decisions. I don't need the 'AI' in my phone deciding if it's me or not.
I didn't do anything of the sort. It 'doesn't necessarily' disqualify an applicant is all I said. It does not. The converse of that is it also often does.
It is not illegal to deny employment on the basis of criminal background. That's the very reason so many employers do background checks. It doesn't necessarily disqualify a person but it certain can be used in the decision making process.
Few if any corporations have ethics. They generally (not always) do what is legal, but not necessarily what is ethical, and almost never what is morally correct. They exist for one purpose and that is to make a profit.
The AC was making an ignorant reference to the fact that Zachary Quinto, the new Spock, is gay.
Then he wouldn't have posted anonymously, if he motives were how people perceived him and his legacy. Your comment was less than helpful.
Well to be fair they also do it very politely when they kill anyone.
It is GPL so they really couldn't sell it to anyone anyways. They could I suppose but it would be meaningless and a foolish move on anyone who would shell out the money for it.
Exactly. I can notice the difference between 1080p and 4k, but said difference is so small that I'm not about to buy a new 60" TV and the coming HD-Bluray yet. Hell, people are just now really starting to even buy standard BluRay. I really doubt this will take off anytime soon. When it does and it makes sense then I'll upgrade. Right now 1080p on my 60" is a fantastic experience that I don't see being worth money to 'upgrade'.
If someone takes out their phone and starts to record you having dinner with a friend would you be upset? At least you'd know about it.

Comments and ratings for Dark Wood - Icon Pack
(67 stars)
Would like to see at least all the standard icons finished seeing this is a paid icon pack. I have other high quality packs that cover every icon such as glaskart. Really should be free in this state.
(67 stars)
Add camera,, calculator,, gallery and others icons too.

It's understandable that you may not have event icon but like with DC IKONS, there's a default icon that at least makes the theme look uniform instead of having random regular icons on my screens...

A very nice developer, will always answer u! Nice work!

The Joy of Helping the Needy
page 1 of 9
Helping the Needy: Where Do We Begin?
We live in a world with overwhelming humanitarian needs, writes Lorie Newman in her book A Cup of Cold Water in His Name: 60 Ways to Care for the Needy. 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 per day, 1.1 billion people lack access to potable water, 19 million people in America are considered "working poor," a child dies of hunger every 5 seconds. With so many needs, where do we even begin? Does helping just one person really matter? The answer is found in Matthew 25:40 where Jesus says, "Whatever you have done to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you have done it to me." One really does matter. You can help the needy around you in practical, creative ways.

Dalton McGuinty touts NDP bill on tipping
The premier says he likes New Democrat MPP Michael Prue's private member's bill aimed at ensuring tips left for servers at restaurants go to them and other staffers — not owners and managers.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Premier Dalton McGuinty has given his labour minister a tip.
He likes New Democrat MPP Michael Prue's private member's bill aimed at ensuring tips left for servers at restaurants go to them and other staffers — not owners and managers — and wants Labour Minister Linda Jeffrey to take a closer look at it.
"I think the NDP has put their finger on an important issue...I've given that advice to the minister," McGuinty said Wednesday, two days after his labour minister was initially cool to the idea.
The bill is "worthy of very careful consideration on our part," he added after touring a Celestica factory at Don Mills Rd. and Eglinton Ave.
When it comes to leaving a tip, "it's never part of our understanding that's going to the owner or the management," the premier told reporters.
"We should have a law that reflects that."
New Democrat MPP Peter Tabuns (Toronto-Danforth) said the apparent Liberal change of heart on the bill follows an editorial in Tuesday's Toronto Star supporting its goals and lots of water-cooler talk on the subject.
"People are really shocked" that all tips are not going to servers, Tabuns added.
Progressive Conservative MPP Michael Harris (Kitchener-Conestoga) said supporting the bill from Prue (Beaches-East York) is a "no-brainer."
But with tomorrow being the last day of the spring legislative sitting save for next Wednesday's budget vote, it's likely any action on Prue's bill — first introduced a couple of years ago with no take-up from the government — will have to wait until fall.
Tabuns said he suspects the fact the Liberals now head a minority legislature has them open to ideas they have previously ignored.
"They know they're vulnerable."
Jeffrey said at at Queen's Park that she's met with Prue to discuss his bill and believes more precise wording is needed to accomplish the goal of having tips go to servers and be properly shared with other restaurant support staff — without going into the pockets of owners and managers.
It's not clear yet whether the government will adopt the bill as its own or leave it as a private members' bill, said Jeffrey.
"His private member's bill would have to be amended significantly to calculate all the things we would like it to do," she added.
"Mr. Prue is willing to work with us to find out a better balance."

The entire system needs an overhaul and has for sometime. It's never been a hard concept to give FED doff/boff a full blue background, KDF a red one and now in may the Roms a Green one, and yet for as long as I've been playing this, that simplicity seems to have eluded them. I will say that since I started playing it's been made a bit easier to tell the difference however I've also run across many doffs that were shown by all indications to be FED when they were really KDF and visa versa.
I admit I'm no programmer, but would it really be that hard to add a search by faction option to everything in the exchange? Like I said I'm no programmer so someone that is please could you tell us how hard or easy that functionality would be to add?

A processor having a limited amount of local memory for storing code and/or data utilizes a program stored in external memory. The program stored in external memory is configured into blocks which can be loaded individually into the local memory for execution. Queuing the individual blocks of code allows the program to be executed by the processor and also facilitates loading of the subsequent code to be executed. A semaphore system can be utilized to indicate which blocks of local memory are available/unavailable. A group of transfer parameters as queue entries allow code and data for an algorithm to be transferred between both local and external memory.
1. Computer program product executable by a computer processor for efficiently transferring data to a local memory of a processor, comprising:
computer code for implementing an application program;
computer code for initiating a transfer of data from an external memory to a processor by invoking a transfer subroutine operable on said processor;
computer code for executing a portion of said application program;
computer code for determining that said data has been transferred from said external memory utilizing a proportional relationship between said application program speed and said transfer of data speed; and
computer readable medium for storing the code.
2. Computer program product of
computer code for determining how much code of said application program has been executed.
3. Computer program product of
computer code for checking a semaphore for said data transfer to confirm that said transfer is complete.
4. An apparatus for efficiently transferring data to a local memory of a processor, comprising:
means for implementing an application program;
means for initiating a transfer of data from an external memory to a processor by invoking a transfer subroutine operable on said processor;
means for executing a portion of said application program; and
means for determining that said data has been transferred from said external memory utilizing a proportional relationship between said application program speed and said transfer of data speed.
5. The apparatus of
means for determining how much code of said application program has been executed.
6. The apparatus of
means for checking a semaphore for said data transfer to confirm that said transfer is complete.
7. A consumer electronic device arranged to process audio and/or video data, comprising:
a memory unit arranged to store segmented program code corresponding to an application program; and a processor unit coupled to the memory unit having a number of interconnected components that include, a central processing unit (CPU) arranged to execute the program code,
a plurality of local memory blocks wherein at least one local memory block is utilized for loading program code and support code and wherein at least another one of the local memory blocks includes a portion for storing data, and
a number of tracking queues each of which includes a queue entry used to coordinate loading of selected ones of the plurality of local memory blocks with program code associated with a selected algorithm,
wherein when CPU executes the application program, at least one of said tracking queues is initialized to include a pointer to each of said segments,
said CPU initiates a transfer of data from said memory unit, and
said CPU then executes an associated portion of said application program and determines that said data has been transferred from said external memory utilizing a proportional relationship between said application program and said transfer of data speed.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/678,858 filed Oct. 2, 2000 entitled �Method of Analyzing Data Utilizing Queue Entry� that issued as U.S. Pat No. 6,728,853, which in turn claims benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/170,668 filed Dec. 14, 1999 entitled �Multi-Component Decoding� and Provisional Application No. 60/170,607 filed Dec. 14, 1999 entitled �Method of Processing Data� each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties for all purposes.
This invention relates generally to the implementation of complex computations in an environment that has limited storage and execution resources. More particularly, this invention relates to transferring data from external memory to a local memory of a processor.
In certain areas of computing, for example in the audio/video field, complex algorithms must often be performed to decompress and manipulate audio and video data so that the data can be broadcast in real time. In the use of MPEG protocols to transmit data, for example, header information is removed from the payload data before the payload data can be displayed or played. Similarly, where the data is compressed, the data must be decompressed so that it can be put to use. A variety of other processes are similarly performed on the data in order to manipulate it.
In a processor with limited resources, however, this manipulation is often difficult to achieve in a time efficient manner. Namely, a processor with a limited local memory can only store a small amount of code to be executed and its accompanying data. Hence, a complete application program typically cannot be loaded into the local memory all at once. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can load code into the processor's local memory in an efficient manner while the existing code resident in the processor is being executed.
Another drawback created by a small local memory is the start and stop nature of loading code into the local memory. Only a small amount of code can be stored by the small local memory. Hence, space in local memory typically must become available before it can be refilled with unexecuted code. Furthermore, the code that is being used to refill the space typically should be loaded by the time the remaining code finishes execution in order to achieve maximum efficiency. Thus, there is a tradeoff between waiting for enough space in local memory to become available and completely loading a space of local memory by the time the previous code has finished loading. Consequently, there is a need for a system that allows a transfer of data to be estimated such that the transfer of code from external memory to internal memory can be completed by the time the resident code completes execution.
One embodiment of the invention provides a method of processing data by executing a program in a local memory of a processor; accessing a queue of transfer parameters; and storing the transfer parameters in a portion of the local memory of the processor to facilitate a transfer of code or data. This method can be implemented by code which is operable to accomplish these acts.
Another embodiment of the invention provides a method of transferring data from an external memory to a local memory by determining an initial size of data block to be transferred from external memory to local memory of a processor; determining an optimum size for a uniform data block to be transferred from external memory to local memory of a processor; and determining a total number of data blocks to be transferred. Again, the method can be implemented by code which is operable to accomplish these acts.
Yet another embodiment of the invention provides a method of transferring data to a local memory of a processor in an efficient manner by implementing an application program to be run by a processor; initiating a transfer of data from an external memory to a processor; executing a portion of an application program; and determining that data has been transferred from external memory to the processor by utilizing a proportional relationship between the application program speed and the transfer of data speed. Code can be utilized which is operable to accomplish these acts.
These and other embodiments of the invention can be implemented in a variety of formats. This could include at least an actual integrated circuit, a core for insertion within an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), as well as computer code that can wholly or partly describe (for such purposes as modeling or semiconductor manufacturing), the apparatus and/or method.
Other and further features of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a consideration of the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein certain methods of and apparatuses for practicing the invention are illustrated. However, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the details disclosed but includes all such variations and modifications as fall within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
Referring now to the figures and more particularly to
The local memory blocks 106 and 108 in
A queue stored in local memory can be made up of the first few entries of an algorithm. Thus, for example, a queue could implement the DCT routine followed by the FFT routine, followed by the Echo Routine. Each entry could comprise identifying parameters of a block of the the DCT Routine. These entries would be followed by entries for the beginning of the FFT and Echo routines. Thus, after the first identifying entry of a routine is accessed, the routine can become self-loading by having that entry point to an entry for a subsequent block. When no blocks in a routine remain, the pointer to the next routine's first entry (e.g., the FFT routine's first entry) can be accessed. Then, the process is repeated for that routine.
In the queue 200 of
The entry of transfer parameters is shown in an exploded view as well in
In block 304, a processor executes initialization code that stores resident code for implementing transfer subroutines, as well as a queue that indicates the data processing routines to be loaded into local memory, e.g., DCT, FFT, Echo, AC-3, etc. In block 308, a transfer setup routine for loading code or data into local memory of a processor is called to load a first block of code into a slot of local memory. This process of actually implementing a transfer is illustrated by
In block 312, the program determines whether a block of code or data has successfully been loaded into local memory. This is accomplished by checking the semaphore associated with the slot location for that block of code or data. Thus, if a slot of local memory is associated with bit 30 in register R31, the processor can check the value of bit 30 to determine whether it is ready to be implemented. If the block of code or data has been successfully loaded, then the processor can execute the loaded program, e.g., an audio processing code such as DCT or FFT. If the semaphore for the block of code has not been successfully loaded, then as shown by block 316, the program waits for the semaphore to signal the block is ready. In block 320, code is executed by the processor (e.g. the audio processing code) until another slot of local memory becomes available. Thus, for example, as the processor finishes executing the block of code for DCT-3 located in slot 2, the semaphore for slot 2 can be used to signal that slot 2 is available for a new block of code or data. Then, in block 324, a queue of pending transfers is checked to see if any code or data is destined for the available slot of local memory. If the slot is not needed, then the processor can continue to process the code or data stored in the local memory, e.g., DCT-4 which might be stored in slot 3. However, if one of the pending transfers in the queue does require that slot, then the program can loop back to block 308 and call the data transfer routine to transfer another block of code or data from external memory to the available slot in local memory. The processor thus interleaves its operations between invoking the data transfer hardware to transfer a new block of data or code to local memory and actually implementing code or data stored in local memory, e.g., implementing an audio processing routine.
As part of the transfer process, the transfer hardware routine maintains a queue of entries that direct what transfers are to be made. Thus, when the routine of
With some extra coding,
Software can allow a priority queue or queues to coexist with a DMA bus's standard queue by adding some code to block 364. Instead of checking only the standard queue for another entry, the code would check the priority queue first. Then code can decide whether block 372 is executed using the priority queue entry or the standard entry.
This �Notification Semaphore� parameter value can be �ORed� with the contents of a register which acts as the global semaphore by holding all semaphore values for the slots in use. For example, register R31 in
The processor is then able to check the semaphore in register R31 to confirm that code has been loaded into a slot and then execute that code. If this bit style implementation is used, the following meanings for 0 and 1 can be used: For code: 0=a code transfer is enqueued but is not fully transferred to its destination slot, 1=the code is resident in the slot and is available for execution; For data: 0=a data transfer is pending for a slot. Do not use the CPU to write to that area. If you know that the transfer is from local to external memory, it is safe to read via the CPU, 1=no transfers are pending. Because of these somewhat different behaviors, it is useful to initialize code semaphores to 0's and data semaphores to 1.
One embodiment of the invention is useful in that it facilitates the loading of a local memory of a processor with code while executing other code already in that local processor. The processor utilizes execution units to execute code stored in its local memory and transferred to its execution units across an internal bus. The processor also utilizes an external bus to transfer data/code between the external memory and the internal memory. Hence, while the processor executes the resident code it can also load new code from external memory. The challenge is to continuously have new code available for execution. One aspect of this challenge is knowing when to initiate a transfer of code from external memory to local memory so that the newly loaded code or data will be available when needed.
In addition to embodiments where the invention is accomplished by hardware, it is also noted that these embodiments can be accomplished through the use of an article of manufacture comprised of a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, which causes the enablement of the functions and/or fabrication of the hardware disclosed in this specification. For example, this might be accomplished through the use of hardware description language (HDL), register transfer language (RTL), VERILOG, VHDL, or similar programming tools, as one of ordinary skill in the art would understand. Therefore, it is desired that the embodiments expressed above also be considered protected by this patent in their program code means as well.
It is also noted that many of the structures and acts recited herein can be recited as means for performing a function or steps for performing a function, respectively. Therefore, it should be understood that such language is entitled to cover all such structures or acts disclosed within this specification and their equivalents.

Steven Tyler, KISS, Matt Sorum, Jane Lynch Team Up For The Arts
Some big name rockers have teamed up to promote music and the arts in the Los Angeles school system, via a new video.
"Epic School Battle" sees a group of villains raiding a classroom (Glee's Jane Lynch plays the teacher) and stealing all of the crayons and musical instruments. At this point, the video goes into silent film mode. After that, two superheroes dressed in costumes similar to that of Superman and Batman show up in the what looks like the actual Batmobile from the '60s Batman TV series. For some reason, they are in color although everything else is in black and white.
When the heroes require backup, the Superman-ish looking guy somehow conjures up newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Matt Sorum (from Guns N Roses), who materializes, playing a tiny drumset. When that proves less than helpful, "superguy" summons pint size versions of KISS who somehow revert the film back into full color from black and white. And they shoot lasers out of their guitars. (Even drummer Eric Singer is playing a guitar for reasons that aren't explained). Finally, Steven Tyler pops up to sing high notes, which apparently blow up bad guys. Confused yet? Watch the video here.
Don't get hung up on the details: the video aims to raise money for Adopt The Arts, whose goal is "to bring together well-known artists, public figures, and the general public to save the arts in America's public schools." Sorum is one of the organization's founders and is co-president, while Jane Lynch is a director. The advisory committee includes Sorum's Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver bandmate Slash, actors Billy Bob Thornton, John Stamos and Juliette Lewis, Adrian Young of No Doubt and guitarist Steve Stevens (from Billy Idol's band).

Can't solve electrical problem
About 2 months ago my 30 year old house starting have electical issues. Everything went down to about half power (dim lights, weak microwave, no a/c) and an electrician came out and said the Amp Disconnect needed to be replaced. I believe our circuit breaker box was wired at 200 amps and the disconnect outside was only at 100. He replaced the outside disconnect and made it 200 amps. Ended up spending around $1200 and the problem seemed to be fixed.
Then one week ago, we started experiencing our lights getting brighter and then lowering back down when we'd turn on an appliance like the microwave or garbage disposal. Same electrician came out and couldn't figure out what was wrong, said it could be on power company's end. Determined that was probably a problem with the neutral connection based on an online search and had the power company come out. They said they made repairs (wasn't home at the time) and everything seemed to be back to normal for a day or two. Now a few days later though, we are still getting flickering lights. It's not as often and sometimes it almost seems to be random, not triggered by turning on an appliance. I do notice it to be the worst when I have several things running at once, like the washer/dryer, dishwasher and some some lights. It is all throughout the house, not just in the kitchen, etc.
I'm really concerned about an electrical fire or electrocution! This has been stressing me out and I'm wondering if maybe the neutral connection wasn't completely fixed. The power company doesn't seem to be all that concerned and it took quite a bit to get them out in the first place. Also, could it have something to do with going from 100 amps to 200 amps? Is the power company still giving us power for a 100 amp disconnect? I apologize for not knowing much about the situation but any help/advice you can give will be much appreciated. Thanks so much!
I would call the power company and tell them your lights are getting brighter. That usually gets their attention pretty quickly. After power company has examined the equipment they are responsible for, you can call an electrician if the problem isn't resolved.
There are several questions that come to mind. First, were you the one that had the service upgraded or was it done before you aquired the house? Who told you the house had 200 amp service? What is the brand of the electrical panel? Seems to me that what you were charged for the "disconnect" is rather high for a hopefully licensed electrician especially since he hasn't a clue what is causing your problems.
I may be wrong (won't be the first time), but it seems there is more to this story.
Thanks so much for getting back to me guys! I just had the power company back out here and they re-examined the connections to their equipment. He still said everything looked fine and he used the "Superbeast" which only dropped 2 volts when I had everything in the house turned on. He agreed that it was most likely the neutral because the oven and dryer are still getting hot even with the lights flickering. So I guess I'm going to call the electrician again to see if he can figure out where the connection is bad.
For whatever reason the flickering was not occuring while the power company was here. It was constant all weekend and would happen every single time I turned something on or even randomly. Maybe because everything had a chance to cool down over night? It does seem to be the worst when a lot of appliances are being used at once.
To answer Texas Redhead, I did not have the service upgraded, it was done before I bought the house about a year ago. The electrician is the one that said inside was 200 and outside was only 100. I'm not sure what the brand of the electrical panel is but the guy from the power company just told me it was really nice and not one that you usually see in a residential unit. I have no idea why he thought we needed one that nice, but I guess that may explain the high price. The electrician is licensed and the company has really good reviews but I'm starting to get skeptical myself. I don't know whether to call someone new to check out the connections or have the same guy back since he knows what's been going on.
Thanks again!
Beyond the fact that you got ripped off...
We have been experiencing the very same symptoms for quite some time now. After complaining to the POCO, they finally sent a crew out to examine the underground service.
The crew found several "bad" spots alont the 250" line (36" below ground), tried to dig and correct them, but couldn't find breaks in the neutral. They finally did find one spot and repaired it.
Problem solved, kind of. The dropouts occur less frequently, but they still occur about once a week.
The crew head explained to me that once a line starts to go, it can be a bugger to find, but that they tend to "rot" out like a battery cable in your car.
Of course, the problem is intermitent, and won't (refuses) to occur when the POCO is out.
I've lost a freezer compressor and finally the memory in my office computer ... now I'm raising hell and will get a new service pulled in.
Is your service entrance overhead or underground?
I believe it is underground. The power company was looking at something in my driveway. Let me know if I'm totally off.
I had electrician #2 come out yesterday and honestly I'm more confused and frustrated than ever. They concluded that my wiring was getting old and I needed an expensive surge protection package. If that's it, why did the flickering suddenly start a week and a half ago? It's significantly different, not something that happened over time. It's all over the house, not just an isolated area. I live in a half duplex and my neighbor claims she is not having any of the problems we are.
I'm convinced it's the neutral but it must be within the meter socket or in my panel. The power company has been out twice now to check their end and swear it's not their equipment. Both electricians will charge a significant amount of money to open things up and check to see if it's on my end. I'm thinking I don't have many other options at this point.
Any advice is much appreciated!
If it is just flickering and not the dimming/brightening you experienced before, the problem is a loose or corroded connection at the main breaker, or between the meter and the main. Both are easy to check and not expensive to fix.
You do NOT need a surge protection package. You need a competent electrician to check your wiring at the main panel.
The lights are still dimming/brightening. The more appliances we use, the more dramatic and frequent it gets.
If anyone knows a good electrician in Dallas, please let me know. I honestly researched the other two I've had out...BBB, licensed, insured, good reviews. Wish I knew someone I could trust.
Thanks for all of the help guys!
Go down to your panel and turn off the main breaker.
Any 120 V load plugged in can be damaged by a missing neutral since the voltage can approach 240 V depending on what loads are present on each of the 120 V legs from the POCO.
This is an immediate safety and fire hazard.
I agree with brickeyee. This post is not intended to disagree at all. The "electricians" involved thus far are either incompetent or dishonest- perhaps both.
You need a meter such as this right now. A loose neutral will see voltages at times above 125- 130. A loose connection on the other conductors will not see voltages too high but will see them too low.
Here is a link that might be useful: Meter
I'm with Brick. This is almost certainly an open or loose neutral connection and an unsafe condition. Open the main breaker until you can have the fault repaired properly.
The only appliances that are safe to use at this point are 240 volt ones - electric range, electric dryer, probably electric heat. A gas furnace may be damaged. If you don't open the main, shut off all the breakers except the ones controlling the 240v appliances.
Sorry that you seem to have gotten a couple of losers so far. I don't know what to tell you about finding a competent pro. Maybe Angie's List?

Live updates
Al Qaida blames Obama for hostage deaths in Yemen
A top al Qaida leader in Yemen has blamed US President Barack Obama for the recent deaths of two hostages during a failed rescue attempt.
Nasr bin Ali al Ansi's video message, obtained by Site Intelligence, is the first comment by al Qaida following the deaths of Luke Somers, a British born American, and South African Pierre Korkie.
Al Ansi said he warned the US against such attempts after a first failed rescue operation in November.
He accused Obama of showing carelessness for the life of an American citizen and claimed the raid "caused things to go in a completely different way than we wanted".
Grieving Somers family 'angry' over failed rescue attempt
The family of Luke Somers, the British-born US citizen killed by al Qaida militants in Yemen on Saturday, have told reporters they are angry about the US military's failed rescue attempt and said they were "kept in the dark" about the mission.
Somer's step-mother Penny Bearman told The Times(£) her husband was "quite angry . . . because if there had not been a rescue attempt he would still be alive."
Bearman added that a military raid to save him is not what her step-son would have wanted.
She said: "We are sure that Luke would have given support to the ongoing discussions [to secure his release] in Yemen rather than the conflict approach."
South African government 'saddened by Korkie's death'
The South African government said it was saddened by the death of hostage Pierre Korkie, who was killed during a failed US rescue mission in Yemen.
In a statement, the government expressed its "firm and unconditional condemnation of all forms of terrorism that invariably result in the senseless suffering and loss of innocent lives".
Korkie's body due to be returned home tomorrow
The South African government have confirmed that the body of slain hostage Pierre Korkie will be returned home tomorrow.
Korkie had been due to be released by al Qaida militants but died alongside fellow hostage Luke Somers during a failed US military rescue mission yesterday.
US forces unaware Korkie was being held with Somers
Reports have suggested that US forces, who launched a rescue mission to try and save photojournalist Luke Somers from al Qaida in Yemen, did not know the identity of the second hostage also being held by the rebel group.
A US official told the BBC that US special forces were unaware South African national Pierre Korkie was being held hostage when they launched their raid to free Somers yesterday.
Korkie had been due to be released by the end of the weekend but died alongside Somers after being shot by militants during the raid.
A statement on charity website Gift of the Givers, who had been arranging Korkie's release, confirms: "Pierre was to be released by al Qaida."
Leaders condemn deaths of Yemen hostages
The US President Barack Obama and Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond have condemned the killing to two western hostages held in Yemen.
British-born American Luke Somers and South African Pierre Korkie died during a failed rescue mission, launched by the US a few days ago after it said there were "compelling reasons" the men's lives were in danger. Duncan Golestani reports.
Hammond offers condolences to hostages' families
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond today offered his condolences to the families of Mr Somers and Mr Korkie.
Mr Hammond said: "My deepest condolences are with the families of both hostages at this time. We utterly condemn AQAP for the brutal murder of these two men."
He added: "I salute the forces involved, who showed great courage in carrying out this mission.
"We continue to work with our international and Yemeni partners to counter the threat from al Qaida and other terrorist groups."
Step-mother's tribute to photographer Luke Somers
The step-mother of Luke Somers, the British-born US citizen killed in Yemen after being kidnapped last September, said paid tribute to his professional achievements in a statement to ITV News.
Penny Bearman, Luke's father's wife, said she believed he would want issues of extremism and terrorism to be addressed by dialogue.
Luke's taste for travel grew early on in life. He was born in London to an American Mother who returned to the States with him when he was seven years old, visiting his father each year in Deal, Kent.
As a young man he worked Salmon Fishing in the Arctic, lived for a time in Jamaica, witnessed riots in Cairo and moved to Yemen in 2011.
He was a talented photographer with a sensitivity for people and people's lives and made a considerable contribution as a photo journalist in telling the stories of communities in war-torn areas. Recently he lived in Sana'a the capital city of Yemen, living as a well-loved and respected member of the community there. He has extensive coverage of the area online, illustrating and expressing the struggles of the Yemen people.
I think Luke would have wanted issues of extremism and terrorism to be addressed by stepping up the dialogue instead of resorting to conflict between nations.
South African Pierre Korkie's body will be repatriated
The South African government will "ensure" that the body of murdered Pierre Korkie will be brought home following reports of his death today.
Korkie died alongside fellow hostage Luke Somers during a rescue attempt by US special forces in Yemen.
Nelson Kgwete, a spokesman for the Department of International Relations and Cooperation for the Republic of South Africa, said: "We have been informed that the American special forces are now in possession of Mr Korkie's body.
"We will arrange with them and the government of Yemen to ensure that we repatriate Pierre's remains to South Africa."
Obama: Luke Somers death a 'barbaric murder'
US President Barack Obama has called the death of Luke Somers at the hands of al Qaida militants a "barbaric murder".
Somers was killed during a rescue operation by US forces in Yemen this morning.
Obama offered his condolences to the Somers' family, and the family of a non-US citizen hostage who was also killed during the rescue operation, after hearing of their deaths.
"As this and previous hostage rescue operations demonstrate, the US will spare no effort to use all of its military, intelligence and diplomatic capabilities to bring Americans home safely, wherever they are located," Obama added.

Read a review at Brickset.com
"Roof is attached to shed with a 1x6 jumper plate"... say what? That looks to be a 1x4 studded slope piece from back in my childhood, and doesn't have any 1x6 surfaces at all (not to mention how inaccessible it would be to kids with more recent LEGO collections, and how much time they might spend struggling trying to figure out from the picture what piece that is).
There are other tips here that make just as little sense. One I noticed my first time reading the book at a local toy store was "Gate made from lattice gate attached upside down". How is that upside-down? Once again, we have a fairly obscure older part being used with a description that would probably only confuse kids even further.
Perhaps that's another way having it written by actual LEGO designers would help-- fewer screw-ups like this! I'd gladly take a designer-made building tips guide that teachers real techniques used in modern sets over a dubiously-made idea book that teaches you weird ways to use parts even I don't own in any considerable quantity. Then again, I guess that's what the Master Builder Academy is for... I really ought to get a subscription to that; I was very impressed with the starter kit.
I'm very excited to read this book, I love that it's essentially written by fans. It makes it closer to being for AFOLs, which is nice.
^And that lattice looks very much upside-down to me.
Might have to put this on my christmas list. Very nice looking, and probably for the same reasons why I trawl flickr etc, just to see other peoples MOCs (and if there are any small scale ideas I can borrow).
Had a load of those 'lattice' pieces as a kid www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3185
apparently they are in current sets as well!
Not to me. To me it looks like 3187 and 3186 with a 1x4 plate and 1x4 tile on top. Note that if it were just the lattice fence piece upside-down, the lattice portion would be four-wide rather than three-wide with a cylinder occupying the fourth stud. Also, if it were just an upside-down lattice fence (3185), there would be no way for the 1x4 tiles on top to be attached.
