DEFINITION of 'Road Show'
A presentation by an issuer of securities to potential buyers. Road shows refer to when the management of a company that is issuing securities or doing an initial public offering (IPO) travels around the country to give presentations to analysts, fund managers and potential investors. The road show is intended to generate excitement and interest in the issue or IPO, and is often critical to the success of the offering. A non-deal road show occurs where executives hold discussions with current and potential investors, but nothing is offered for sale.
A road show is also known as a "dog and pony show."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Road Show'
Road show events may attract hundreds of prospective buyers interested in learning more about the offering. The events may include multimedia presentations and question-and-answer sessions with several of the company's officers present. Many of today's companies take advantage of the Internet and post versions of road show presentations online. In addition to the larger road show events, companies may also holder smaller, private meetings in the months and weeks preceding the offering.

But, surprisingly, I lost .3 pounds. I did a lot of manual labor yesterday, so it could have just been my body telling me to eat more food because of all the work that I did. I'm not that worried about one night of eating. It was mostly pretty healthy stuff too- black beans, peppers, tomatoes, and onions.
Breakfast was a bacon, egg, and cheese burrito. Water.
Lunch is going to be a can of healthy choice chicken noodle soup.
IDK what I'll have for dinner yet. But do I ever?
173.2 weigh in this morning - back down to my weight from Monday.View Thread
I think mostly I've been using the Jawbone UP24 wristband I got to track my activity and myfitnesspal to track my food. I have a really good friend that is using it with me, so we both have some accountability.
I've been upping my steps to 10,000 per day (I think before I was only getting 3 to 4 thousand steps a day). On average, it's about 2000 steps in a mile.View Thread
Breakfast was one banana/oat muffins and one morning glory muffin. Water.
Lunch was a can of healthy choice chicken noodle soup. Water.
Dinner will have to be something quick tonight - I have a church activity to go to.
Weight this morning was 173.5.View Thread
Breakfast was two banana/oat/greek yogurt muffins.
Lunch is going to be a can of healthy choice chicken noodle soup.
Dinner I'm going to cook something.
I've had fast food the last two nights - so I've eaten not super healthily and really late at night...and that stops now.View Thread
Weigh in was 173.7. A little bit up - but I'm going to attribute that to having Wendy's for dinner last night. I only had 3 or 4 fries and their grilled chicken sandwich. Then I had the last two bites of my husband's burger.
Breakfast was two banana/oat/greek yogurt muffins. Water.
Lunch is going to be tuna and crackers. I have no more soup in my desk - I need to restock.
I'm planning on cleaning up my back room a little bit when I get home so that I can use the table next to the window to start my vegetables seeds.View Thread
Breakfast was two banana/oat/greek yogurt muffins.
I baked yesterday...a LOT. I made two more batches of the banana oat muffins - I went ahead and did no brown sugar at all in it. It called for 1/4 cup - so I just omitted it completely this time. I could tell the difference between these ones and the ones where I had used the sugar. There are chocolate chips in them, so they are just fine sweetness wise. Going forward, I'm not going to add the brown sugar. Calorie difference: Muffins with sugar - 205 calories. Without sugar - 187 calories. So not a huge difference, but it is one.
I also made the morning glory muffins. I did 1/4 cup brown sugar instead of the 1 cup the recipe called for. I also did 2/3 cup applesauce instead of 2/3 cup oil. It made the batter almost like a cookie dough instead of a more liquidy batter. Added pecans as my nuts - I have a pecan tree and free is free...can't get much better than that Also used sweetened coconut flakes...I didn't find any unsweetened ones at a reasonable price. I think those are the only changes I made - I kept the orange juice). I plugged the recipe with my adjustments into myfitnesspal - with 18 muffins per batch, they are 158 calories each muffin.View Thread
I would caution to not make too many changes at once. Just change a few things at a time - it makes it easier to transition into healthy habits.View Thread

Wrestling: Goodrich wins state title, Indians finish third
Senior Isaiah Goodrich took the 182-pound state title, his fourth consecutive placing performance
PORTLAND - After four years of blood sweat and tears, four years of growth, victory and defeat, Scappoose senior Isaiah Goodrich is finally a state champion. Goodrich pinned Gunnar Robirts of Crook County in 4:58, capping an incredible high school career in which he placed at state four years in a row.
Early on, it looked like Goodrich might not make it to the second period. He trailed 5-0, and barely escaped a pin. The response, though, is one that Scappoose wrestlers may remember for years to come. Goodrich finally got back up on his feet, and started to work. By the time the fall came, he was leading 9-5.
"The first person I looked at was my dad," said Goodrich, who mentioned that having his family there to support him was both a blessing, and a source of additional nerves.
Over all, the Indians took third in the Class 4A competition, trailing Crook County and Henley, but far outdistancing the fourth place team. Scappoose took 12 wrestlers to the state tournament, and got placing performances from eight. In addition to Goodrichs title, the weekend saw second-place finishes from Devin Ray at 220 pounds, and Ben Gadbois at 170. Braxton Sue and Johnathan Tardif each placed third at 106 and 160 pounds respectively, and the Indians got fourth place finished from Taylor Walden (126) and Tyson Broadbent. Senior Hunter Hoyt finished fifth at 145 pounds.

I am compelled to write to you today because of what I went through today trying to find a pair of boots. In a day and age where social interaction is at an all time low and customer service always seem to fall by the wayside, I wanted to let you know of the absolute gem you have working for you. I called your company to do research on some boots you offer and left a phone call wanting to be a lifetime customer. Michael was arguably the most considerate and helpful human being I have ever met. I do not say this lightly. I work for UPS and have an enormous interaction with the public and it has been years since I have been able to shop either online or in person and have as excellent an experience as I had shopping at your company today! Thank you to Michael, and thank you to your company for the wonderful experience."

Grease Grill
Composite Grease Catching Grill
All we know grease fire is bad for flavor and for health.
There are many discussions about grease fire and plans to avoid grease fire.
In a traditionally Rotisserie spit, it is suggested that coal is placed in two sides, not exact beneath the Rotissier. There is a pit that hog is placed just beside the fire, using reflecting fire to cook hog.
In a tradtionally offset wood pellet smoker, there a grease pan. In a vertical cabinet smoker, the water pan acts as a grease pan.
All above plans have this or that drawbacks. Even worse in many pits, grease fire is not avoidable.
This composite grill successfully avoids grease fire while keeping the smoke/heat distribution evenly. The base element collects grease dripping from upper element. Smoke and Heat can flow evenly through gaps between base element and upper element. The gaps can be adjusted by 4 bolts.
Composite Grill, Made from 1.5 mm Stainless Steel, 20"x14" US$60.
Any size is available at request
Last two pictures are rotisserie with two rods instead of single axle.
Double rods Rotisserie is much easy to hold your food, say a hog.

University of Baltimore offering class about Marvel movies
If your parents ever complained that all of those Spider-Man and X-Men comics would interfere with your school work, show them this: This spring the University of Baltimore will offer a course examining modern culture through the lens of Marvel's films, television series and comic books.
Thought to be the first class of its kind in the United States, "Media Genres: Media Marvels" will not only explore the intricate plotlines, characters and backstories that form the Marvel Cinematic Universe but also try to understand our fixation with superheroes and fictional global threats. Students will also study Joseph Campbell's monomyth of the "hero's journey."
Watch a supercut of the many deaths of Batman's parents
Although we can never be assured that a film or television adaptation of Batman will be any good, there is one safe bet: It will likely include a depiction of the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne in Crime Alley (slow-motion shot of a broken string of pearls tumbling to the pavement optional, but preferred).
Gotham, which premiered Monday on Fox, was of course no exception, spurring Vulture to compile a supercut of the Waynes dying on screen, from Super Friends and Tim Burton's Batman to Batman Begins and Batman: Arkham Origins. I imagine this is what Bruce Wayne's nightmares look like.
These custom 'Batman v Superman' figures set a high bar
Director Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive in March 2016, and with it an avalanche of merchandise, from lunchboxes and clothing to backpacks and, of course, action figures. However, FigureRealm user STjuggernaut is already making life difficult for official licensees with his impressive custom creations.
Using bits and pieces from other characters — a She-Hulk head here, an Indiana Jones whip there — he's crafted 4-inch scale figures of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Ben Affleck as Batman (with and without his cowl). The join the Superman, Jor-El and Kryptonian villains he assembled based on Man of Steel.
Grumpy Old Fan | Selling Complicated Boy and Look-It-Up Lass
It won't be long before the Legion of Super-Heroes reappears in the New 52. This week's two-page editorial spread (written by editor Brian Cunningham) teases next month's "The Infinitus Saga," a Justice League United arc pitting the newest batch of Leaguers against the future's greatest super-team.
Providentially, rumors have begun circulating about the Legion's possible jump to the big screen, as Warner Bros.' answer to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Among the reactions to these rumors were Eric Diaz's suggestions (at Nerdist) and The Beat's conclusion that "I never got the Legion [but] this could be a charming and exciting film."
To be sure, it's way too early to evaluate the merits of a Legion film. Heck, there may not even be a Legion movie, if Batman v Superman underperforms. However, two things jump out at me from this coverage: First, the blockbuster Guardians has opened the door for adapting all sorts of superhero obscurities. Second, any adaptation must deal with — and most likely overcome — the Legion's history (and history of reboots).
With regard to the latter, The Beat calls the feature "classic DC — a continuity-heavy series that has a smallish but rabid following, and a huge cast of characters who are sometimes oddballs"; and Nerdist notes that "DC has struggled to keep the book relevant" for most of the past 30 years.
'Shazam!' film seeks 'a sense of fun and a sense of humor'
[Editor's note: Each Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss the best in comics from the last seven days — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.]
Hot on the heels of the high publicized and false rumor that DC movies would be adopting a "no jokes" policy came that shining glimmer of hope, like a Big Red Cheese riding a gigantic ammunition shell through the sky. This week we got more details about the Shazam! movie, most of it serving just to whet my hunger for a major motion picture starring that most stalwart of Fawcett Comics heroes.
Will this be the much feared "grim and gritty" version that many fans had been envisioning since David Goyer and Zach Snyder took the helm of the Justice League, subsequently releasing image after image of scowling, unhappy superheroes? As the news came rolling in, it seemed more and more that it will not. First, it's going to be produced under New Line, and not the parent Warner Bros. studio that will produce the Justice League movies. New Line president Toby Emmerich, in fact, stated in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that "It's a DC comic, but it's not a Justice League character" and that it "will have a sense of fun and a sense of humor." Oh, Toby… your words are like honey to my ears.

Comics A.M. | Viz Media executives talk state of manga market
Publishing | Leyla Aker, Viz Media's vice present of publishing, and Kevin Hamric, its director of publishing sales and marketing, discuss the state of the manga market and how the company's books are selling through the print and digital channels (including comiXology, where Viz just signed on last month). One interesting tidbit: Viz products are carried by 64 percent of Diamond Comic Distributors' accounts (i.e., comic shops). "Some of the store owners just don't understand manga yet," Hamric said. "They're like librarians were years ago. They're afraid of it, but if it's children's and Pokemon, or has a tie-in, especially to anime or television, then they're not afraid to take it." [ICv2]

SDCC | Action Lab summons 'Puppet Master' license
Action Lab Entertainment, which publishes such titles as Princeless, Vamplets and Skyward, announced at Comic-Con International that it has acquired the license to the horror-movie franchise Puppet Master.
The comic series will be written and edited by Shawn Gabborin (Fracture, Snowed In), with franchise creator Charles Band selecting the roster of artists. No release date was given.
The film series debuted in 1989 with Puppet Master, the story of an elderly puppet maker named Andrew Toulon, who discovers an ancient Egyptian potion that he uses to bring his creations to life. Pursued by Nazis, Toulon hides the dolls and kills himself, only for the murderous marionettes to be revived 50 years later by a rogue psychic.
The original film spawned nine sequels and prequels, a four-issue comic, action figures and collectible cards.
Watch 5-year-old Marvel trivia expert defeat 'Guardians' stars

The result was … well, about what you might expect.
Hollywood guilds join push for Supreme Court to hear Kirby case
Three organizations representing Hollywood actors, directors and screenwriters have thrown their weight behind an effort to convince the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal by the heirs of Jack Kirby that could have ramifications far beyond Marvel and the comics industry.
The case, as most readers know by now, involves the copyrights to the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Thor and other characters created or co-created by Kirby during his time at Marvel in the 1960s. The artist's children filed 45 copyright-termination notices in September 2009, seeking to reclaim what they believe to his stake in the properties under the terms of the U.S. Copyright Act. Marvel responded with a lawsuit, which led to a 2011 ruling that Kirby's 1960s creations were work for hire and therefore not subject to copyright reclamation. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision in August 2013, which brings us to the Kirby family's petition to the Supreme Court.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Screen Actors Guild-Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the Directors Guild of America and the Writers Guild of America have filed an amicus ("friend of the court") brief that insists the Second Circuit's ruling "jeopardizes the statutory termination rights that many Guild members may possess in works they created."
Agent Coulson drops in on KCRW's 'Guest DJ Project'
If you ever wondered how actor Clark Gregg prepared himself for Agent Coulson's death scene — or, rather, "death" scene — in The Avengers, you only need to listen to KCRW's "Guest DJ Project." Hint: It's music, but any additional information is probably above your clearance level.
For this week's episode of the Los Angeles radio show, the star of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. compiles a track list that includes Parliament-Funkadelic's "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)," Public Enemy's "Caught, Can We Get a Witness" and Radiohead's "Go to Sleep."
The World's Mightiest Mortal gets his own movie? Shazam!
[Editor's note: Every Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss "The best in comics from the last seven days" — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.]
Tired of superhero movies yet? I'm not, since I found that I highly enjoyed X-Men: Days of the Future Past recently. However, announcements of new superhero movies have lost their luster a little, since you sorta expect that there's going to be two competing Quicksilver movies any day now.
What did surprise me a little was DC's rumored plans to develop their cinematic universe, and the one that got me most excited was Shazam! I mean… wow… Captain Marvel's getting a movie? The entire idea of a kid who turns into a superhero with a magic word seems weird and alien in the current superhero movie universes we have these days, especially that somber one being helmed by Zack Snyder.

That doesn't necessarily mean that this is the sole origin of the Yeti legends in the first place.

Forensic Ecology, Botany, and Palynology: Some Aspects of Their Role in Criminal Investigation

Ecology, botany, and palynology are now accepted as part of the armoury of forensic techniques. These disciplines have been tested in court and have provided evidence for contact of objects and places, location of clandestinely-disposed human remains and graves, estimating times of deposition of bodies, differentiating murder sites from deposition sites, and provenancing the origin of objects and materials. It is important that the forensic palynologist is a competent botanist and ecologist. Sadly, not all practitioners have this essential background and, therefore, produce work inadequate to withstand scrutiny in court. Palynology involves the identification of many classes of microscopic entities, the most important being pollen, plant spores, and fungal spores. The practitioner needs to be able to identify palynomorphs in damaged and decayed states and this requires experience and skill. However, identification is still the lowest level of palynological expertise, and interpretation of palynological assemblages requires knowledge of plant distribution, developmental responses, and phenology, as well as ecosystem structure and function. The forensic palynologist must also understand highly manipulated and artificial systems, and the complexities of taphonomic processes. There have been attempts to make forensic palynology 'more scientific' by the construction of test trials, the application of current statistical techniques, mathematical modelling, and reference to aerobiological data and pollen calendars. But these appear to be of limited use in the forensic context where outcomes are scrutinised in court. There is a high degree of heterogeneity and variability in palynological profiles, and every location is unique. It is impossible to achieve meaningful and forensically-useful databases of the palynological characteristics of places; predictive models will always be crude and unlikely to be of practical value. In spite of this, the experienced ecologist/palynologist has been able to identify places, demonstrate links between objects and places, estimate body deposition times, and differentiate pertinent from irrelevant places very successfully. Nevertheless, there has been no substitute for examination of every pertinent place, and every relevant exhibit in each criminal investigation.

Truce Calms a Torn Church
By DAVID ROHDE
Published: March 16, 1997
After two years of ugly struggle involving charges of racism, graft and violations of church canon, a truce appears to have settled over the embattled Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights -- for the time being.
Bishop Orris G. Walker Jr., the head of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, which covers Brooklyn, allowed the church's embattled rector to leave at the end of January and the dwindling parish to elect a new vestry, the 14-member governing body, on March 9.
The choice of a new permanent rector could again split the vestry with the Bishop. In a meeting with the new vestry's three senior officials on Wednesday, Bishop Walker's representative, Michael W. H. Harris, who is the Archdeacon of Brooklyn, told them that the Bishop had a candidate in mind for acting rector.
The search for a new rector is expected to take a year. Any candidate is subject to approval by Bishop Walker, who has angered St. George's parish in Flushing, Queens, by rejecting its choice of rector.
Archdeacon Harris said that the choice of a permanent rector would lie with the vestry. ''It's an opportunity for all of us to work together,'' he said, ''to see if this church can fulfill its mission.''
Attempts by the church's former rector, the Rev. Dr. Patricia Wilson-Kastner, to close the St. Ann's Center for Restoration and the Arts is at the center of the struggle. In their first meeting on Tuesday night, the 14 newly elected vestry members unanimously voted to halt eviction proceedings against the center that have been tied up in court for two years.
''We want to rejuvenate our parish,'' said Lynne Christensen, the church's new senior warden. ''The logjam has cleared. We can finally sit down and work cooperatively.''
Ms. Wilson-Kastner ordered the eviction of the arts center in February 1995. The previous vestry defended the arts center, saying it had raised $2 million for the restoration of the 150-year-old Gothic Revival church, an architectural gem on Montague Street.
Some vestry members accused Bishop Walker and Ms. Wilson-Kastner of trying to destroy the parish and sell the church. The bishop said that the arts center was not part of the church's mission and that the parish had financial problems.
After the vestry changed the church bylaws on its own in December 1995, Ms. Wilson-Kastner obtained a court injunction in February 1996 barring the vestry from meeting. She then padlocked the church's office and reduced services to once a week. Last December, 20 parishioners requested the court-supervised election of a new vestry.
In an abrupt reversal on Jan. 28, the Bishop granted requests from the church's vestry and Ms. Wilson-Kastner that she be allowed to leave St. Ann's. He approved the election of the new vestry.
While supporters of the arts program appear to have won the battle, the issue of a rector looms. Ms. Christensen said, ''There's no question that's going to be a very important factor.'' DAVID ROHDE
Photo: ''The logjam has cleared,'' said Lynne Christensen, the senior warden. (Rebecca Cooney for The New York Times) Chart: ''Chronology: The St. Ann's Saga'' After a year and a half of near paralysis, the Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity is on the verge of becoming a functioning parish again. Feb. 15, 1995 -- The Rev. Dr. Wilson-Dastner, with the backing of Bishop Orris G. Walker, Jr. orders the eviction of the St. Ann's Center for Restoration and the Arts. The vestry passes a resolution opposing the eviction. Ms. Wilson-Kastner begins legal proceeding to enforce the eviction. May 17, 1995 -- The vestry asks Bishop Walker to remove Ms. Wilson-Kastner as rector. Within weeks, Ms. Wilson-Kastner asks the Bishop to relieve her as rector. Bishop Walker makes no decision. December 1995 -- Acting on its own, the vestry votes to change the bylaws of the parish. Jan. 28, 1997 -- Bishop Walker grants requests from both Ms. Wilson-Kastner and the church's vestry for her to leave St. Ann's. He also approves the election of a new vestry. March 9, 1997 -- Forty-two remaining members of the church elect a new vestry.

Does your fieldstone chimney leak like a sieve?
Hi all,
We're doing much better with our fieldstone chimney leaking, since DH puts waterproofing stuff on it every year or 2 now, and caulks any little cracks. Have you found that fieldstone isn't the greatest choice for a chimney? Thanks.
Is this a more modern era fireplace?
In fireplace construction, first there is a core built.
This core contains the area where you build your fire, forms the throat where the damper is located and then the flue which is how the smoke exits.
This core is then surrounded with concrete block.
The concrete block is then "faced" with brick or stone in the areas where you see the structure.
In the attic or between the walls you there wouldn't be a need for the decorative facing.
If you have smoke leaking through all this masonry then there must be a compromise in the core.
Very new type chimney/fireplace construction may eliminate the concrete block stage and the core can be faced directly with a UL listed product such as Isokern.
Very old chimney / fireplace construction may have used a brick core.
If some of these bricks failed, smoke could find its way out in a way other than up the chimney.
In whatever case, you need to get an experienced mason to check things out right away as there is the definate possibility of a fire starting in an unseen location in your home!
Sparks from your fire are following the draft which is not all going up your chimney.
I am not a mason, but have a friend who is and I have helped him on quite a few jobs over the years as I find it interesting.
Oh Westernmainer,
Thanks so much for that long reply......but I guess I didn't explain myself well enough. I'm talking about water leaking. The fieldstone seems to act like sponges outside and when it rains, the water just runs down into the fieldstone covering the fireplace in the living room.
For it to not leak, we have to apply waterproofing stuff to the outside fieldstone almost every year. Thanks again for your long reply.
It actually did answer another question I had, but didn't ask yet!
In that case, it must be the flashing or lead skirt is to blame.
The flashing is like an umbrella that covers the seam between the roofing material and the chimney material.
If your home is new, then there is the chance that your house actually shrunk as it dried out which can leave a gap where the chimney penetrates the roof.
One house that we built actually shrunk an inch and left a gap big enough so that snow swirled in!
This is a much easier "fix" than if it were smoke!
But again, a mason is the one to come and look at it.
A few taps on the flashing may be all that it takes or it may need to be replaced.
Not really a job for the home owner due to it being up on the roof and the fact that the lead flashing can have a tendancy to tear and it is easy to try and overdo the rebending of it.
Yup, like a sieve. Leaks smoke along it's entire length too.
Ours is old and solid New England field stone. We have a stepped area that holds water when it rains and it just leaks in.
We are going to get a new liner and have it repointed and weather sealed. The stepped slope will be made slanted to shed water, not hold it.
And a new damper/cap. Lots to do, and no one is returning our calls, so we will be out the fireplace this season:(
Bummer, wianno! Sounds like it needs a drastic "makeover"!
How do they put a new liner in an older fireplace? Will the liner be made out of tiles? I guess they could make the liner, and then lower down into the chimney.
We have a second fireplace that lost a tile, when my husband was pulling out the woodstove metal flue liner. I just thought they had to put the tiles in one at a time, and couldn't figure out how they worked in that little space!
We have to waterproof our outside fieldstone almost every year, or the water seems to run like a river down the stone in the living room.
Good luck with all you have to do!
A replacement liner is most often stainless steel - the only way to replace the entire flue with clay tiles is to rebuild the chimney. Normally, with an open faced fireplace the existing flue tiles will be removed and the stainless liner will replace those.
There are other ways to put in ceramic liners. They drop a bladder in the flue and inflate it, then pour in the ceramic material (like cement), which hardens. Its expensive, like 3-5k. We recieved a quote for 9k, but that was a phishing attempt. I think we will go insulated stainless sleeves, however.
yup, wianno is correct there are other options; the one he mentions is the cast liner, very popular in europe and adds strength to the chimney as well. It was developed for large industrial/commerical boilers/furnaces and within the last decade has become much more cost competative and much more popular in the residential market.
there is a fairly simple and price competative way to install clay flue tiles into existing chimneys; the process includes busting the old damaged flue tile, smoothing the remaining flue, then lowering new tiles in from the top. Fewer people are doing this now that stainless and stainless flex liners have become popular and are easier to install, and less specialized equiptment is required.
catherine T: I was just rereading your post and realize how unfortunate that is to have to have one tile crack, howerver rather than relining by any of the previously mentioned methods i would suggest googling "firesafe industries" they have a process for residential chimneys that fixes all the imperfections, cracks etc, quickly and quite possibly for a much lower price.
The product Berlin mentioned is called FireGuard - it is a great product for correcting eroded mortar joints but is not intended for cracked flues. In addition, in order to install a "poured" or "cast in place" liner, the flue tiles still have to be removed in order to make sure you will maintain the proper flue size.
The method of repair depends on where your chimney is situated. Of course a large portion of the job is done from the top of your chimney; however if it is a stone chimney on the exterior the normal way to access the lower interior area of your chimney is to remove sections of the firebox and damper assembly as necessary and then re-install the damper assembly and the firebox. That enlarges the area a bit to allow someone to gain access a little more freely. Otherwise the normal way to gain access would be cutting into the firebox area from the exterior of the chimney; but as I said, that isn't normally done with stone chimneys.

Rebake Mass Effect: BioWare trolled with cupcakes
There have been many arguments concerning the controversial ending for Mass Effect 3 -- some melodramatic, some perfectly valid. This new move from those snubbed by the trilogy's conclusion, however, wins the award for sheer wit and genius.
Over four hundred cupcakes were sent to BioWare's office, delivering a tasty message. Each cake was iced in one of three colors -- red, green, and blue -- to represent Mass Effect 3's ending choices. The cakes are vanilla, and so is all the icing, the message being that no matter what choice you make, it'll all have the same generic flavor.
A single person went out of his way to pay Fuss Cupcakes $1,005.00, but within an hour of announcing his crafty scheme, fellow fans PayPal'd him more than he'd spent. All donations were rewarded with the chance to attach a personal message to the cakes, while the leftover cash was given to Full Paragon.
BioWare received the cakes, and donated them to the Edmonton Youth Center.
Whatever your views, this is pretty magnificent bastardry, and probably the best thing to come from this whole debacle. Some call it, "incredibly passive-aggressive," but I think it's more passive-aggressively incredible. Screw it, debate's over, give the fans what they want. They've earned it now.

Last week, on Rosh Hodesh Adar, my mother, eight other women and I were detained
by police for wearing a tallit and singing at the Western Wall. Halfway through
our detainment some of us were moved, without our lawyer, to a different police
station. A police officer presented me with an agreement to stay away from the
Kotel for 15 days. I nervously and reluctantly signed.In the story of
Purim you read about two courageous young women, Vashti and Esther, who have
always been role models for me.Shortly before my fifth birthday,
listening to the megila, I heard Vashti say "no" when the king summoned her. I
perked up immediately and said excitedly, "Like Rosa Parks!" Later in the
megila, I nervously awaited the king's response to Esther's uninvited
visit.Women should not be stopped as we read Megilat Esther at the
Kotel. Wearing a tallit is a personal spiritual choice. At first I was going to
respect the pledge not to got to the Kotel for 15 days, because I thought the
next time the Women of the Wall were gathering would be Rosh Hodesh, March 12,
but women's megila readings will take place on Monday, February 25, at 9:45 a.m.
at the Kotel.I WENT to Jewish day school in Boston, Young Judaea Zionist
camps and celebrated my bat mitzva in Israel. I made aliya with my family in
2006, when I was 11, to Kibbutz Ketura and now live in Jerusalem where I am a
member of Kol Haneshama. Given that Purim is my favorite holiday, sometimes
falls on my American birthday, and its protagonists are brave, inspiring women,
I need to say "no" like Vashti, and, like Esther, approach authority uninvited –
in this case not Persian royalty but the Israeli police, the civil authorities
who enforce the extremist desire to control my prayer.So, on Tuesday
this week I followed Esther's lead and showed up unannounced at the Kishle
Police Station inside Jaffa Gate and requested an exemption for Purim.
Miraculously, the police backed down and granted it! (Thank you Anat Hoffman and
David Barhom.) Now, on to Purim at the Kotel, where I will follow Vashti's lead
and refuse pompous demands, in this case that women keep quiet.There's
something I did not notice when I heard megila all those years ago – Mordechai's
question to Esther: "Mi yodea?" "Who knows?" Perhaps the ultra-Orthodox should
learn from the humility of that question.I'm calling on the women of
Jerusalem, young and old, secular and religious, to join me in costume
celebrating the courage of Esther and Vashti, and of Women of the Wall. For
those of you outside Israel, it would be a wonderful act of solidarity to wear a
tallit over your costume when you, wherever you are, from the US to Persia –
freely recite and hear the megila.The Jewish state that asks us to
proudly wear its uniform should never ask us to remove our prayer shawls. Or to
give in to the extremist demands of the ultra-Orthodox who proudly wear their
prayer shawls but refuse to don the Jewish state's uniform.The author
recently completed high school and hopes to participate in Agahazo Shalom, a
volunteer youth village in Rwanda. She can be followed on twitter at

NEW YORK (AP) — A medical examiner ruled Friday that a police officer's chokehold caused the death of a man whose videotaped arrest and final pleas of "I can't breathe!" sparked outrage and led to the overhaul of use-of-force training for the nation's largest police department.
Eric Garner, a black man whose confrontation with a white police officer has prompted calls by the Rev. Al Sharpton for federal prosecution, was killed by neck compressions from the chokehold and "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police," city medical examiner spokeswoman Julie Bolcer said.
Asthma, heart disease and obesity were contributing factors in the death of the 43-year-old Garner, a 6-foot-3, 350-pound father of six, she said.
The finding increases the likelihood that the case will be presented to a grand jury to determine whether Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who placed Garner in the chokehold, or any other officers involved in the confrontation will face criminal charges. Pantaleo's attorney, Stuart London, declined to comment.
Garner's wife, Esaw Garner, told the Daily News, "Thank God the truth is finally out."
Mayor Bill de Blasio extended his sympathies to Garner's family in a statement and pledged to continue repairing the relationship between minority communities and the New York Police Department.
"I've said that we would make change, and we will," he said.
Chokeholds are prohibited by the NYPD, but partial video of the July 17 confrontation shows an officer placing a chokehold on Garner, who was being arrested on suspicion of selling untaxed, loose cigarettes. Garner then apparently loses consciousness.
Word of the medical examiner's ruling spread Friday among passers-by on the Staten Island street where the police confronted Garner and where candles from a makeshift memorial flicker. Garner's neighbor Charlene Thomas said the officers involved must be punished.
"They killed somebody," Thomas said. "Why, because they're cops, they gotta get away with this?"

So, Daniel was able to wake up from his coma. Glad that that is over, but by the previews for Monday's episode we can expect Lauren to grill him on the Daisy saga. I liked the character when she returned, but it is clear that the storyline needs to end.
Victor is a remarkable liar with how far he is willing to go to prove that he had nothing to do with Daisy's disappearance, but I expect the truth to eventually come out and that will hurt him. Not the way I wanted the week to end, but not a bad episode overall.moreless

Hampstead Norreys (alternatively spelt Hampstead Norris as it is pronounced) is a village and civil parish in Berkshire, England. It is centred on the small tributary the River Pang, north of Newbury.
Hampstead Norreys was awarded Berkshire's best-kept village in 1979.
As well as the nucleus of Hampstead Norreys, the parish includes the hamlets or localities of Bothampstead, Eling and Wyld Court. Hampstead Norreys has a large recreational field, Dean Meadow, that is used for fetes and parties and by the village football and cricket teams. The school also uses the field for activities.
The Living Rainforest[edit]
Wyld Court is home to The Living Rainforest, an indoor glass house tropical rainforest with plants, animals and butterflies. It is an ecological centre, an educational centre and a visitor attraction.
Historic buildings[edit]
The village was recorded in the Domesday Book as Hanstede.[2] The village is noted for its Norman parish church and the remains of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle in the nearby woods.
World War II[edit]
The village was close to the wartime airfield of RAF Hampstead Norris, an RAF Bomber Command Operational Training Unit (OTU) station. The airfield was host to a small number of squadrons of Wellington bombers. The site was bombed on 16 September 1940 by the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. In 1945, the station was used by squadrons of Mosquito fighter bombers and became an ammunition storage depot as part of the Bramley Central Ammunition Depot near Basingstoke after its closure in 1946. Little of the wartime station now remains. There are four remaining pillboxes around where the airfield was and a few air raid shelters in the woods. Part of the bomb storage site remains also.
The site still maintains a modern link with aviation with a farm strip used by a Tiger Moth biplane. It is now known as Haw Farm, part of the Yattendon Estate. An impression of the old runway layout of RAF Hampstead Norris can still be seen from the air. On the edge of the airfield perimeter track is a light beacon and an important VOR beacon known as Compton (CPT), named after the nearby village, which is used as a primary navigational aid for airway routes between European airports such as (Heathrow) and North America.
Hampstead Norreys has a small rural primary school which has served the community for over 150 years.
From 18 February 2013, Buses 6 and 6A from Newbury serve the village. Newbury railway station has regular and fast services to east and west.[3]
Hampstead Norris railway station was a minor halt on the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway for about half a century until 1962.
Sport and leisure[edit]
The Dean Field is the local park in Hampstead Norreys. It contains a football and cricket pitch and a children's play area. On the north side of the field is Hampstead Norreys Village Hall. It is considerably larger than the village halls in surrounding villages. On the south side is Eling estate, a large wooded area (consisting of Park Wood, Westbrook Copse, Down Wood and Elingpark Copse) backed by a path which is what remains of the old Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway running between Hermitage and Compton, the two nearest villages.

Video tutorial: Trading with Fibonacci levels
Welcome to my latest spread betting video tutorial. This week, I want to deal with the basics of Fibonacci theory – I will explain some more advanced methods in a later video.
Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician born almost 750 years ago. And it's quite remarkable that the theory he developed in the 13th century is still used today to give us insights into the growth and decay of natural systems – such as financial markets.
Fibonacci theory can be a very powerful tool. It can give you vital information on where to enter a trade when trading in the same direction as the prevailing trend. Instead of guessing where to get in to a trade, can give you fairly precise entry points in advance.
In this video, I will explain:
• What Fibonacci theory is;
• How to use the Fibonacci tool in your spread betting platform;
• Some basic ideas you can use right away in your own trading.
And if you haven't seen them yet, or you would like a refresher, do take a look at my other video tutorials.
