About TurboTax
Federal and state tax forms can be confusing, but a TurboTax coupon code makes it easy to file accurate income-tax returns at a discount. There are multiple tax-preparation packages available, each tailored to meet specific needs. After choosing a package, customers answer simple questions about their occupations, family members, and living situations. The company's software analyzes those answers, matching users with more than 350 potential deductions and credits. The process ensures that customers receive the maximum return they're entitled to. This tax season, skip the stress and save with a TurboTax coupon from Groupon Freebies.
Michael A. Chipman developed TurboTax in the mid-1980s. Ever since, his software has been helping customers keep more of the money they've earned. Programmers update the software each year to include new deductions and reflect the most current tax laws. By answering a few simple questions, you can ensure that you'll receive all of the deductions you qualify for—including those that result from owning a home, attending school, making charitable donations, or even spending on medical expenses. And to put customers' minds at ease TurboTax guarantees the accuracy of its services.
Guaranteed accuracy isn't the only reason why so many people use TurboTax. The software is also popular because it's so easy to use. Step-by-step guidance and a user-friendly design make the filing process simple, even for first-timers. To make things even easier, TurboTax can automatically import W-2 tax forms from more than 400,000 participating employers, saving users the trouble of entering information. Spanish-speakers can opt to read instructions in their native language, ensuring that nothing gets lost in translation. Even paying for TurboTax's services is a snap: the company will subtract any fees from users' federal refund, so there's no need to pay at the time of filing. Choose a TurboTax promo code for savings on all the company's streamlined filing services.
Already planning how you'll spend your next tax return? Grab a TurboTax coupon code and get the ball rolling.

Every week I do a Monday Mom Confession because while we all want the very best for our children, it's impossible to do everything right all the time. Admitting that is freeing – and it's also encouraging to other moms in the midst of intense seasons. I'd love for you to join me – share a link to your own confession post in the comments, or just make your confession here! Let's throw off the weight of perfection and get real around here!
Last week was "screen-free week" through Conlan's school. The class that has the most participants wins a pizza party.
Mamas, here's the truth. Screen-free week nearly killed me.

"Walking past the stage during set up, one wouldn't assume the members of Midnight Mosaic to be performing together, let alone be able to guess what they're performing. A combination of rock, funk and everything in between, Midnight Mosaic has been intricately crafted to offer a unique sound. The Asbury Park-based band frequently performs throughout the tri-state area but felt right at home during their March 14th performance at New Brunswick's Old Bay Restaurant, the lively New Orleans-inspired bar and restaurant. The energy was at a constant high under the multi-colored lights that illuminated the stage and members in hues of red, blue and green. While the crown-molded ceilings of the southern-inspired restaurant shook. Their ability to adapt to different genres in less than seconds was extremely impressive. At one moment you were listening to funk, and in the blink of an eye it had smoothly transitioned into rock."

The Cyber Risk Report for November 7 through 13 covered the second consecutive Social Engineering Capture the Flag event that was organized by Defcon 19 (a prominent industry "underground" security conference). The event proposes a challenge to competitors with the focus of leveraging social engineering tactics to successfully obtain key company information from a list of prospective companies, with the ultimate goal (based on the past two years) of raising awareness of the threat impact social engineering has on organizations. Furthermore, the competition highlights the common tactics and aspects that social engineers employ. As this year's competition drew to a close, the Social Engineering CTF Results Report (which provides a debrief of the event, outcomes, and lessons learned) puts an emphasis on the techniques utilized, and the reasons why the respective techniques ultimately succeeded or failed.

The Bison Council
Original recipe yields 4 servings
Amount per serving ({{servings}} total)
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Ready In
Your rating
devoured it for dinner. at a leftover one for lunch the next day. and for breakfast the following day. rich and smoky from the cheese contrasted by sweetness and crunch form the shallots and figs. i feel this is the beginning of my love affair with bison.
I have made these several times and they were excellent. Last time, i didn't have pomegranate juice but had pomegranate margaritas from Costco. I reduced the margaritas and proceeded with the recipe. Fabulous!
Absolutely amazing super succulent recipe! Will definitely do again, I made it for two instead of four and it seemed a lil confusing in such small increments but everything was just enough and the burgers came out humongous! I only regret not having the correct cheese in the recipe. First time trying bison and won't be my last!

Replacing Windows - Please Help!!
We just purchased a new home in the Northeast (Long Island, NY) with original windows from 1958. We would like to replace all of the windows as part of a larger renovation but would prefer to not replace the siding on the house at this point.
A few questions...
1) Are we even candidates for replacement windows, or must we go with a new construction product based on the existing metal window frame (see pic)?
2) Our architect has initially spec'd Andersen 400 but I think I may prefer the Integrity by Marvin product based on my initial research. Do either of these present material differences from the other with regard to price, installation or quality? All of the windows will be double hung with SDL grids.
3) Any other project guidance you can provide? I'm a newbie to this and want to try and do it right this time so I don't have to do it again, but also not get "taken" by salespeople.
Thanks so much in advance.
What is the impetus behind the window replacement?
If you don't like the look, you are always a candidate.
If you are looking purely for energy efficiency improvements, the first place to look is at the attic and other items.
The Integrity is a solid choice and should have all the same available options as the 400. Cost depends on what people are charging up there but you will commonly see them referred to as similarly priced materials.
What else are you doing at the home?
If it is just window replacements, find a qualified contractor and keep reading. You will quickly learn everything that you need to know and focus on.
Windows - thanks for the reply, I will try to elaborate.
The impetus is energy efficiency and we will be looking at other areas. The look is also a factor, but not primary.
My question about candidacy was more about installation method. I was told by a few people that new construction windows would effectively require new siding given the existing windows. In your experience, is this correct? We would prefer not to have to replace all of the siding.
We are doing an extensive remodel and this is just one of the items on the list.
Millworkman- thank you for the offer, I will likely email you.
I do not believe replacement type windows work effectively if at all in these types of window frames, I may be wrong but I do not believe they do. So you may end up needing new construction type windows which would not necessarily require new siding but the current siding would at the very least be removed or pulled back to allow the new unit to be properly installed. So technically now or when you change the windows would be the most economical time to replace the siding since it will be partially removed for access to the existing window openings.
I am sure you could get a replacement window to work in this application but there are times when discretion is the better part of valor.
While the siding, provided the warmer temps, can be manipulated and pulled back and put back on, that is a good bit of work to incur for the full/new construction opening.
How does the siding look? If it is on the project plan for a year or two down the road, I would do the windows then and just seal them up good for right now.

The movie, in which Brolin played Brandon Walsh, was recently voted the 1980s film fans would most like to see remade - and the actor insists that's more likely than a mythical sequel - which really does exist.
He says, "I saw (Goonies co-writer) Steven Spielberg on the street about a month and a half ago and I asked the reality. I hear there is a script, yes, but there's no talk about doing a Goonies sequel at this very moment."

Luv these lights
Kathy from Birmingham, MI– Verified Buyer
We have three of these featured over a marble island and we get continuous complements on them! Electrician installed them and cautioned about having to replace the bulbs frequently, but in a year have only burned one out so far. Glass is not yellow on the bottom as it appears in the photo but is frosted white.
Great, incorrect instructions
Mike from Boulder from Boulder Co
Great quality, simple, clean little pendants. The install is actually quite simple if you DONT follow the instructions. The best way to get these in is to completely break down the transformer unit (taking all housings and covers off) and install that first making connections to your + & -. Then add the screw plate with the transformer and primary connections burried above it. Next you can pull the treaded lead through and re-fit it back into the finished assembly in reverse order. This is way more do-able then trying to force the transformer through a sharp little hole in the plate and fighting with all that hardware dangling above you while you do it. Once you get these fixtures up you can work on the length off line easily because of the threaded/powered connection between the lamp and the housing. These are acually some of the easiest, well built pendants I have installed but with poor, over simplified instructions.
Hung 2 thru my pot rack to light the stove area
Marcia from Verona, WI– Verified Buyer
These were just the right size to drop through the grid on my pot rack, allowing me to put light on the stovetop without the shadows of the pots. They are very bright which is great for food prep and cooking. Our electrician wired them to a single switch so they work together. He also installed a dimmer that creates a nice soft glow late at night. I'd highly recommend.
Pretty & Powerful
Jennifer from Norfolk, VA– Verified Buyer
We bought this light for our kitchen remodel. It hangs from the ceiling over the sink and the bright downlight from its 25W halogen bulb makes it perfect for task lighting. It's beautiful whether it's switched on or off. The design is simple, elegant and timeless. Very well made.
Great ambient light for foyer
Lindsay from San Mateo, CA– Verified Buyer
I needed an accent light for a corner of the foyer. This is beautiful, excellent quality, and puts out a lot of light. I have it on a dimmer. Highly recommended.
Laurie from Minneapolis, MN– Verified Buyer
For a nomimal amount of money, a great, minimal, techy look. One of the 2 pendants we ordered did not work. Make sure you hang onto the packaging until everything is installed. But great value for the look.

Great looking pendant light
Corey the Ironman finisher from Lincoln, NE
I purchased three of these lamps to replace existing 12 volt pendants in my kitchen. The three challenges I experienced with installation were: 1. The ceiling canopy should be deep enough to house the transformer. Instructions call to place transformer in the junction box, but there were too many existing wires for this to easily fit.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
May 17, 1960 R. J. MILLARD ELECTROLYTIC DEVICE Filed Oct. 24, 1955 R\C HARD J. MILLARD INVENTOR.
By @444 d HI 5 ATT O R N EY 2,936,514 ELECTROLYTIC DEVICE Richard J. Millard, Williamstown, Mass, assignor to Sprague Electric Company, North Adams, Mass, a corporation of Massachusetts Application October 24, 1955, Serial No. 542,205 6 Claims. (Cl. 29-2531) This invention relates to electrolytic capacitors and more particularly to a process for producing electrolytic capacitors having a solid electrolyte, as well as the product resulting therefrom.
The electrolytic capacitor art has developed rapidly in the past several decades, which development has been directed both to extensions of the operational temperature range of these devices to both higher and lower limits and to greater capacity per unit volume. It is no doubt apparent that the severe temperature limitations of aqueous electrolytes have led to the development of non-aqueous systems of greater operational temperature range, e.g. from -50 C. to above 100 C. 'As a natural transition beyond the non-aqueous system so as to extend the temperature range, solid electrolytes must be used. As yet, solid electrolytes have not been commercially produced, although the concept has been published; however, none teach a device suitable for incorporation into electronic gear.
With the advent of transistor circuitry requiring relatively low voltages, extremely large improvements in capacity per unit volume were obtained by reducing the thickness of the anodic film on the valve metal serving as the anode in the electrolytic capacitor. The sintered tantalum pellet, particularly dramatically improved the capacity per unit volume over the prior known etched foil type of electrode. Still greater capacity per unit volume over that known to the art must be achieved if present day limitations on volume for electronic gear are to be met. Even though miniaturization has been achieved by the pellet, it still has a limited temperature range which must be extended.
It is therefore an object of this invention to overcome the foregoing and related disadvantages of the prior art electrolytic capacitors.
It is a further object of this invention to produce a solid electrolyte electrolytic capacitor of higher capacity per unit volume than presently known capacitor-s using conventional electrolyte systems.
It is a still further object of this invention to produce electrolytic capacitors having improved electrical characteristics, particularly with regard to leakage current, frequency stability and temperature stability, over that which obtains with prior art constructions.
Further objects of this invention will be apparent from the following specification and appended claims.
In accordance with this invention the objects set forth above have been achieved by a novel process for the production of sintered tantalum pellet electrolytic capacitors having a solid electrolyte which includes the step: of in situ conversion of a manganese salt disposed within the crevices of a formed tantalum pellet by firing at a'temperature of from about 300 to about 450 C. The product produced in accordance with the teachings of this invention is a tantalum pellet solid electrolyte capacitor comprising an oxide coated tantalum pellet of from about 35% to about 45% porosity with a manganese dioxide electrolyte disposed within and substantially filling the pores of said United States Patent "ice tantalum pellet contiguous with said oxide coating, said manganese dioxide resulting from a plurality of in situ thermal conversions of a manganous salt by firing at a temperature of from about 300 C. to about 450 C., said oxide coating being obtained by a plurality of electrolytic oxidations of said tantalum pellet, and finally having a peripheral metal cathode coating disposed about said manganese dioxide electrolyte on a granular carbon layer contiguous with said electrolyte and said cathode coating.
Perhaps the invention can be most fully understood by consideration of the basic structure of the solid electrolytic capacitor which is subjected to a basic novel processing step to obtain the electrolytic capacitor having the unique electrical characteristics of this device. The device of the invention is shown in cross-section in the sole drawing which is appended to the specification. Upon reference to this drawing it is seen that the anode consists of sintered particles of a valve forming metal 10 such as aluminum, tantalum, zirconium and columbium which is compressed about the anode lead 12. The sintered pellet of valve metal which for purposes of this discussion shall be considered a sintered tantalum pellet, as this is the preferred structure, has a thin oxide coating 11 of tantalum oxide which serves as the dielectric layer of the capacitor structure. Substantially filling the pores of the tantalum pellet and contiguous with the oxide coating is a layer of manganese dioxide 14 which has resulted from in situ thermal conversions of a manganous salt by firing at a temperature of from about 300 C. to about 450 C. Disposed upon the surface of the manganese dioxide layer 14 is an outer layer of carbon particles 16 which serves to form a low resistance contact from the manganese dioxide layer 14-, which must be in not only the pores but also form a discrete surface layer, to the outer electrode 18 usually of a metal such as sprayed copper. Further suitable cathode metals include zinc, tin, silver and gold. Attached to the outer electrode 18 which serves as the cathode is the cathode lead 20 which extends through the outer casing 22 as does the anode lead 12.
The anode structure of this device is of a tantalum pellet made from pressed and sintered tantalum metallic powder. This sintered pellet is well-known to the art and can be produced not only from sintered metallic powder but from tantalum coated ceramic powder produced in accordance with the teachings of the Rogers copending application, Serial No. 517,135, filed June 22, 1955. The sintered tantalum pellet can be spot welded or otherwise electrically joined by suitable connecting means to the anode lead wire 12. Also suitable where extremely small physical size and low capacity are demanded is a formed etched tantalum wire as the anode. For most applications, however, the sintered pellet is preferred.
To the sintered porous pellet of an electrolytic valve forming metal, the fabrication of which does not form part of this invention, one or more of the basic steps in the processing of the device must be applied to obtain the article of the invention. Basically the improved characteristics of my novel process arose out of the in situ conversion of a manganese salt which is disposed within the crevices of a formed tantalum pellet, at a temperature of about 300 C. to about 450 C. The other process step which is to be followed to produce the electrically optimum device is the electrical reformation of the oxide film which functions as the primary dielectric of the electrolytic capacitor. This reformation follows the in situ conversion of the manganese salt. Such reformation materially decreases the leakage current whereas thein situ conversion of the manganese salt by means of firing within the restricted temperature range greatly increases the total capacity, as well as reducing the internal resistance and leakage current. Thus it is seen that the firing is a basic step in the novel process while the reformation further enhances the electrical characteristics of the device.
To prepare a solid state electrolytic device in accordance with this invention the tantalum pellet useful as the anode is of 39% porosity (of about 35 to 45% porosity is found to be most suitable). The porosity is determined by dividing the weight of the pellet by the product of the density of the metal by the volume of the pellet. This pellet consisting of compressed and sintered tantalum powder having a particle size distribution of between 0.2 and 35 microns, is subjected to formation by disposition in an electrolyte and subsequent imposition of a current flow. A suitable formation electrolyte is a solution of manganous nitrate in water. During formation to a typical voltage of 12 volts the current density should not exceed 30 milliamps per gram of the tantalum pellet and the electrolyte temperature maintained at 90 C.i2 C. After the leakage current has dropped down to an acceptable value, e.g. 10-15 microamperes, the formed pellets are heated for 15 minutes at 400 C. This is to remove all remains of the formation electrolyte by thermal purging which includes decomposition, sublimation and volatilization. Other formation electrolytes comparable to the manganous nitrate include ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, ammonium acetate and ammonium formate. These salts are in aqueous solution which formation electrolyte should have a resistivity range of from about 10 to about 15 ohm-centimeters at 90 C. The manganous nitrate formation electrolyte referred to above has about 120 grams of the salt per liter of water to obtain the desired resistivity.
Thereafter the tantalum pellet is vacuum impregnated with a 50% manganous nitrate solution (specific gravity of about 1.5) at room temperature after which the vacuum is broken and the units allowed to stand in the solution for a period of 10 minutes.
In addition to manganous nitrate there are other man ganous salts which decompose to form manganous oxide such as the oxalate, formate and acetate. Of course, the impregnant is understood to be an aqueous solution of the thermally decomposable manganous salt.
Thermal in situ conversion of the impregnated pellet is done in a vented furnace at 400 C. for five minutes or at least until the brown fumes of N are no longer generated. Two further impregnation-thermal conversions are carried out.
Then the unit is reformed to 12 volts in the above formation electrolyte until the leakage current is reduced to about 0.6 milliampere. After drying as above, reimpregnation with a manganous nitrate aqueous solution of about 1.77 specific gravity is accomplished by allowing the pellet to stand in the solution for 5 minutes, which solution is at a temperature of 90 to 100 C. Firing is again conducted for 5 minutes at 400 C. after which the impregnation-firing cycle is repeated two more times. Again electrochemical reformation in the formation electrolyte is conducted, which reformation is at 12 volts until the leakage current of about 0.6 milliampere is reached. Again the formation electrolyte is thermally purged by heating the unit for 16 hours at 180 C. This thermal purging is preferably conducted at a temperature below 200 C. to prevent fracture of the oxide film. The duration of heating may extend beyond 16 hours if desired to more thoroughly thermally purge the pellet of electrolyte residue.
It is necessary that the solid electrolyte layer 14 be positioned between the pellet and the cathode 18 and/or the contact layer 16 everywhere so as to prevent shorting of the device. It often times is desirable to continue the layer 14 to the anode lead 12, thus completely enveloping the pellet 10, thus insuring absence of shorted units. The manganese oxide functioning as the solid electrolyte is believed an 11 type semiconductor .4 and has a resistivity at 20 C. of from about 1.0 to about 1.5 ohm-centimeters.
One now has the optimum produced solid state electrolyte and all that remains is to make electrical contact to the solid electrolyte. This is accomplished by disposition of a colloidal graphite layer on the manganese dioxide strata by dipping in a colloidal graphite aqueous dispersion having a solids content of approximately 7%. The graphite or other suitable particular conductor, although it need not be used, increases the capacitance and lowers the series resistance of the unit. This deposition is followed by drying at C. for 15 minutes to drive ofi the moisture after which the cathode is applied by means of spraying from a Schoop metallizing spray gun. Thereafter a solderable lead such as tin-copper is soldered to the negative electrode at the bottom of the unit. The tantalum anode lead wire is welded to a wire which serves as the anode contact. The fabricated unit is to be maintained in an atmosphere of about 0% relative humidity prior to encapsulation. This encapsulation as shown in the drawing may be either of a molded or cast resin such as silica filled epoxy or mineral filled phenol formaldehyde or for extremely high temperature operations of a ceramic nature, e.g. vitreous enamel. An alternative casing is a hermetically sealed can with or without potting in a hydrophobic material such as wax.
Such a device as prepared above has a capacitance of about 65 microfarads and equivalent series resistance of less than 2 ohms when measured at a frequency of cycles per second, and remarkably low leakage current.
.Most astonishing is the incorporation of 65 microfarads capacity in a cylinder about 0.215 inch long and having a diameter of 0.112 inch. Further the temperature and frequency stability is markedly improved over known devices.
As many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope hereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments hereof except as defined in the appended claims.

LIANGJIAHE, China — The next leader of China spent much of his youth living in a dug-out cave.
Xi Jinping's seven years in this remote northern community meant toiling alongside rural villagers by day and sleeping on bricks by night, in stark contrast to his pampered early years in Beijing.
He was born into the communist elite, but after his father fell out of favor with Mao Zedong -- and before his later rehabilitation -- the younger Xi was sent to a rural hinterland to learn peasant virtues at age 15. The Liangjiahe years are among the scant details known about Mr. Xi's life and personality, partly because he himself chronicled them as a formative experience.
They are part of the vague picture of a man who has drawn little attention during much of his political career but now is poised to become ruling-party chief next month and president next year of an increasingly assertive China.
What is clear is that Mr. Xi has excelled at quietly rising through the ranks by making the most of two facets: He has an elite, educated background with links to communist China's founding fathers that are a crucial advantage in the country's politics, and at the same time he has cultivated a common-man mystique that helps him appeal to a broad constituency.
He even gave up a promising Beijing post in his late 20s to go back out to the countryside.
He did not at first come willingly, however, to Liangjiahe, a tiny community of cave dwellings dug into arid hills and fronted by dried mud walls with wooden lattice entryways. He tried to escape and was detained.
Villagers remember a tall bookworm who eventually earned their respect.
"He was always very sincere and worked hard alongside us. He was also a big reader of really thick books," said Shi Chunyang, then a friend of Mr. Xi's and now a local official.
A man for his times
It is in the nature of China's politics that relatively little is known about Mr. Xi's policy leanings. He is not associated with any bold reforms.
Aspiring officials get promoted by encouraging economic growth, tamping down social unrest and toeing the line set by Beijing, not by charismatic displays of initiative.
Mr. Xi's resume in provincial posts suggest he is open to private industry and some administrative reforms as long as they don't jeopardize the Communist Party's monopoly on power.
He likes Hollywood flicks about World War II, and has a daughter at Harvard University under an assumed name, though he has signaled he may be a staunch Chinese nationalist.
Tall, heavyset and married to a popular folk singer in the military, Mr. Xi is at ease in groups, in contrast to China's typically stiff and aloof leaders, such as current President Hu Jintao.
A Xi administration is expected to pursue a more forceful foreign policy based on Beijing's belief that chief rival Washington is in decline and that China's rise to global pre-eminence is within reach.
"Xi was chosen in part because he has the large, assertive, confident personality to lead in that kind of strategy," said Andrew Nathan, a specialist on Chinese politics at New York's Columbia University.
Mr. Xi will confront daunting challenges.
After two decades of fast-paced growth and social change, the economy is flagging, and China is under strain. A polarizing gap has left a few wealthy and many struggling and resentful.
Rampant corruption is corroding already low reserves of public trust in officialdom.
Beyond home, China is locked in sharp elbowing over territory with Japan and Southeast Asian neighbors. At the same time, Beijing feels hemmed in by the U.S., which is shoring up ties with countries on China's edge.
From chemistry to politics
As son of one-time Vice Prime Minister Xi Zhongxun, the younger Xi spent the 1950s in a world of comfortable homes, chauffeur-driven cars and the best schools when most Chinese were desperately poor.
But the elder Xi fell afoul of the increasingly paranoid communist chief, and Mao demoted him in 1962.
The son was dispatched to rural Shaanxi province in 1969 as part of Mao's campaign to toughen up educated urban youth during the chaotic Cultural Revolution. When caught returning to Beijing, he was sent to a labor camp for six months.
Back in Liangjiahe, he helped build irrigation ditches.
"Knives are sharpened on the stone. People are refined through hardship," Mr. Xi said in a rare 2001 interview with a Chinese magazine. "Whenever I later encountered trouble, I'd just think of how hard it had been to get things done back then, and nothing would then seem difficult."
Local Communist Party officials and police in Liangjiahe followed reporters on a visit and asked them to leave, showing how the party wants to control information about Mr. Xi's past.
But they did allow brief interviews, including with Mr. Shi, described by villagers as Mr. Xi's former "iron buddy."
Mr. Shi stood across from the now-abandoned, one-room home where Mr. Xi lived with a local family, and recalled the day Mr. Xi departed at age 22. "No one wanted to see him go," Mr. Shi said.
Rejected for Communist Party membership nine times owing to his father's political problems, Mr. Xi finally gained entry in 1974 and then attended the elite Tsinghua University.
He would later return to Liangjiahe only once, in 1992, when he gave an alarm clock to each household, Mr. Shi said.
Mr. Xi went on to earn a chemistry degree, by which time Mao had died and his father been restored to office.
Mr. Xi next secured a plum position as secretary to Defense Minister Geng Biao, one of his father's old comrades.
But Mr. Xi took the unusual step three years later of jumping to a lowly post in rural Hebei province, because he wanted to "struggle, work hard, and really take on something big," Mr. Xi told Elite Youth magazine's now-deceased editor Yang Xiaohuai.
Mr. Xi landed in the rural town of Zhengding, where people traveled by horse cart.
While there, he made the most of state broadcaster China Central Television's plans to film an adaptation of the classical Chinese novel "Dream of Red Mansions."
Hoping to create a tourist attraction, Mr. Xi built a full-scale reproduction of the sprawling estate at the heart of the tale.
"You could tell Xi was thinking ahead. By doing this, he created lots of jobs and lots of revenue for Zhengding back when there was very little here," said Liang Qiang, a senior caretaker at the film set, which still draws tourists.

The U.S.S. Enterprise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk is en route to the extreme edge of the Alpha Quadrant, and to a region known as the Vara Nebula. Its mission: to investigate why science outpost Zeta Gibraltar is not answering all Federation hailing messages. When the Enterprise arrives, a scan shows no life forms in the science station. Kirk leads a landing party and quickly discovers the reason for the strange silence—signs of a violent firefight are everywhere. Zeta Gibraltar has been completely raided.

JUNEAU — On the last scheduled day of the legislative session, state lawmakers were still trying to finish writing the capital budget on Sunday.
While the budget is typically one of the last major pieces of legislation in play, the House Finance Committee was waiting to put its final touches on it, pending an agreement on additional education funding.
JUNEAU — The Alaska Senate unanimously passed legislation setting out a new approach for addressing the state's pension obligation Saturday, less than three hours after the plan emerged from the Senate Finance Committee.
It will be up to the House to decide whether to accept the Senate plan, which advanced on the 89th day of the scheduled 90-day session. If the House doesn't, the bill could go to a conference committee.
JUNEAU — The Senate Finance Committee advanced a broad-ranging education bill Saturday that adds more money to public education and raises the required local contribution for schools.
JUNEAU — Gov. Sean Parnell said repealing the state's oil tax system would "kill" oil production.
During an online town hall Wednesday evening, he also said he personally opposes the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. But he said if a ballot initiative on that issue passes this year, the state would implement the regulations needed for the measure.
JUNEAU — The House Finance Committee advanced Gov. Sean Parnell's plan for addressing the state's pension obligation Tuesday, but the issue was not yet settled.
As HB385 was moving from committee, Senate Finance was meeting on the opposite end of the fifth floor of the Capitol, discussing other possible options.
JUNEAU — The state Senate passed a $2.2 billion state capital budget Friday, along with a bill to raise the borrowing limit of the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority as part of an overall package to help build a new heat and power plant at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Reconsideration was served on the budget, meaning it could be voted on again before going to the House. Friday's vote was 19-1, with Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, voting against.
JUNEAU, Alaska — The Alaska House on Thursday began debating legislation that would further define medically necessary abortions for purposes of Medicaid funding.
SB49 is similar to regulations that were approved by the state health commissioner and are currently subject of a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest. A spokesman for Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, Erik Houser, said the case is on hold pending what happens in the Legislature.
JUNEAU — House Speaker Mike Chenault on Thursday said legislative passage of a bill to raise Alaska's minimum wage would guarantee that wages go up, while the outcome of a similar ballot initiative would be dependent on the whim of votes.
Chenault, R-Nikiski, said most lawmakers he's spoken with support having the Legislature address the issue. He said the minimum wage was once aimed at helping young people in entry-level positions.
JUNEAU — Following an intensive amendment process that began last week, the House Resources Committee on Wednesday passed out its rewrite of a bill aimed at advancing a major liquefied natural gas project.
The committee considered dozens of proposed amendments and debated many of them at length — even some that were ultimately withdrawn — over the course of several days.
Co-chair Dan Saddler, R-Eagle River, said he thought Alaskans could take comfort that the committee did "good, hard work." Rep. Peggy Wilson, R-Wrangell, said she thought the bill was fair to all concerned.
JUNEAU — The Senate Finance Committee advanced a $2.1 billion capital budget Wednesday.
Perhaps the biggest change compared with the draft unveiled earlier this week was a $245-million financing package for a heat and power plant at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The figure includes state funds and $157.5 million in anticipated bond revenue. The committee advanced a separate bill, SB218, that would increase the borrowing limit of the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority as part of that overall package.

Product Description
Founded by professional athletes, Carrera strives to bring today's players the highest quality performance wood bats on the market. Their main goal is to deliver equal quality - meaning that players of every skill level should be able to swing the same bats used by professional players worldwide. Carrera maple bats use only the highest density wood that is responsibly cut from the forests of the northern Appalachian region on into Canada. The reason they picked this location to source their wood from is because wood becomes denser in colder climates, leading to a stronger bat. The CS243 White Wash is one of the slickest looking wood bats to hit the field this season. The CS243 White Wash features a large barrel and a thin handle with an approximate -2 to -4 length to weight ratio. All of Carrera's wood bats are approved for MLB play, and the 243 turn is one of their most popular models among professional players. All of their bats also feature an ink dot showing the straightness of grain, so that players can rest assured that they're getting a quality wood bat. Carrera: Owned By Pros, Used By Pros!

Washer shakes entire house!!!
I have had it..We have LG TROMM upright dryer and washer which are located on the 2nd floor of our house. We upgraded the washer and dryer about a month after moving into the house. The house is only about 3.5 yrs old, but I don't think they planned for an upright washer because the whole house shakes. I have put a level on it and to my disbelief it is spot on. Is there anything I can put under it to dampen the shaking? Or another way to sure it up without tearing into the floor?
If you're literally shaking your whole house, you're certainly not doing your house any good. This is a structural issue and should have been addressed when it was being built. I can't imagine going years like this either. I would have at least gotten a different machine or do something with it immediately. You could try putting down a couple 1" sheets of plywood and screw these into the floor joists securely, and use a lot of screws to make it solid and see if that helps. There's anti-vibration mats but I have no idea if they work or not. Your issue sounds like a poorly constructed house. Since it's a structural issue, you're going to have to address it structurally. Maybe best to get a competent contractor to come out and give you an estimate on shoring it up. Whether adding blocking to the floor joists, topping with plywood or whatever, you can at least get an idea what it'll take to get some stability in the place.
It can also help to have them near a solid, load-bearing wall since it'll be more solid there. You might try moving them. The problem is that there's no guarantee that you won't have troubles. There's so many factors that weigh into the equation and 2nd floor installations are finicky.
If you don't want to look at structural reinforcement your only other option is to look at different machines. There's a lot of threads here about second floor laundry installations and the problems inherent to the design.
One thing I'm pretty confident of, that is you won't have an easy solution, nor will it be only a few dollars.
What kind of machine did you have there before? I assume it didn't shake the house when you had it for 3 months so that should give you an idea of what type of machine would be more compatible. I assume your problem is with the washer only? At least you wouldn't have to replace the dryer unless you're one who must have things "match". There's HE top loaders that would be an option. There's a couple front loaders with a better suspension who some claim are better for second floor installs.
One other thought, if they're on pedestals, you could try taking them off. Some report increased vibration issues with pedestals.
Try these vibration reducing pads in the link. I have not tried them but they look like they may help.
Here is a link that might be useful: Shake Away Pads
We looked at a home that was for sale, several years ago, and the owner actually had the home built with a concrete pad where the washer sat in the ground floor laundry room because he couldn't stand the vibration of his washer. This cost him thousands of dollars - and it was his big selling point about his otherwise beautiful home.
That's when I told the home owner about our then newly purchased a Fisher & Paykel GWL 10 Ecosmart washer (2001), which you can't feel spinning at all unless you place your hand on the machine. No vibration on the floor at all. A washer that doesn't "walk" around on it's own. I suggested if he purchased a F/P when he moved, and gave him the name of the local store that carried and serviced them, he could avoid all the expense of putting in another concrete pad in his laundry room.
The Fisher & Paykel also has increased reliability with no transmission, belts, brakes, clutches or pulleys to fail, let alone NOT shaking your home to bits - as a nice side benefit.
You might check this thread out:
I would try reinforcing your floor like that first before going to more expense.
It's working great for me!
I tried the KE Shake Away Pads like the user above. They barely worked.
I had the same shaking problem and someone on a different post had mentioned Silent Feet. WOW. These pads are amazing. 95% of all shaking and vibration is all gone. Get these. Don't just take my work. Read the reviews. I bought them on Amazon.com. Best $40 I've spent

I've been petty rough on Facebook's Android messaging in the past, but it looks like things may be about to change. Courtesy of the developers from group messaging app Beluga, which Facebook acquired in March, Facebook has released a new dedicated messaging app for Android and iOS today.
The app has more in common with Facebook's Messages interface than with Chat. There's no buddy list at all, and no indication of who is currently online. Facebook seems really hung up on that concept. Instead, you get a list of every conversation you've ever had on Facebook, which can be tough to navigate. You do get options to delete or archive old conversations, which should help.
If you create a new message, you can choose to send to Facebook Friends or your phone's contacts. Messages sent to contacts are delivered as a standard text message. Group messaging is also supported.
To my enormous joy, notifications seem to work exactly as you'd expect. Alerts come in immediately by default, but you can turn them off either for one hour or until 8 AM the following day. You can change the alerts for individual conversations or the whole app.
There are a few other nice features, including the ability to send photos, attach your location to a message, and map the locations associated with conversations.
The new app should be live in both the Apple App Store and Android Market, but at least for Android, it's a bit tough to find. I couldn't find it at all on the web version of the Market, but if you search for pub:Facebook on your Android device, you should see Facebook Messenger.
Update: The app is now on the web version of the Market here.

Decreasing lean muscle mass
Increasing body fat
Increasing waist size
Rising levels of dangerous fats such as low-density lipoprotein.
Aging may affect a number of important stimuli for growth hormone release such as optimum levels of sleep and exercise' low blood sugar levels' and levels of tissue-building amino acids such as arginine. Meanwhile' inhibitors of growth hormone secretion can become more prominent – such as a growth hormone blocker called somatostatin as well as rising blood levels of sugars and free fatty acids.
Fortunately' there are a number of ways to naturally slow down the rate at which growth hormone secretion declines. Firstly' somatostatin can itself be inhibited with cholinergic agonists such as choline. Secondly' human studies show that amino acids such as arginine and ornithine can help preserve and maximize lean tissue mass as well as supporting efforts to exercise more effectively – a key factor in increasing growth hormone production. Thirdly' these anabolic effects can be complemented with the amino acids glutamine and glycine' which help to stimulate the release of endogenous growth hormone.
Growth hormone is secreted in cycles during the day' with the greatest spurts occurring during exercise and shortly after falling asleep. Life Extension now offers two new formulas to help support maintenance of body composition and pituitary function. GH Pituitary Support Day Formula' which should ideally be taken before exercise' contains choline plus arginine and ornithine in the alpha-ketoglutarate form.

Hi: I took Accutane in the mid-80s, and for me, it was a wonder drug! I had cystic acne on my face, chest and back, plus scalp so oily that I had to wash my hair every day! Yes it DID raise my lipids, and I had blood tests every month. I don't remember being put on a maintenance dose, but then that was a long time ago... When I finished, my skin was/is great. My skin normalized and, at age 63, it is still not dry or wrinkled (but then I was also on Retin-A for years, prior to the Accutane). I have not had any liver problems; however, I have developed auto-immune issues with my adrenals and thyroid--I have no idea if there is any connection--has anyone else had this happen to them?
27 Nov 2011
I took Accutane 25 years ago and am now looking into it for my son. The only side affect I think I have is the inside of my nose is dry because it shrinks the oil glands. The only health problems I have ever had is allergies (which I had before), arthritis, headaches, and infertility (which now I hear may have been caused by the antibiodics I took for the acne.) Accutane helped a lot for years and then I had frequent mild outbreaks, but never as bad as before I took accutane. I was afraid I would be wrinkly as I got older, but I am told I look younger than my 51 years. Everyone is different though and liver problems especially are affected by other drugs or alcohol use. I only drink occasionally and stay away from other prescribed drugs that can cause liver problems.
2 Dec 2012
I didn't take accutane, but my husband did. In 1986 he was put on an extremely heavy dose for 1 1/2 years, and then in 1989 put on another regimen for 6 months. He is now 41 years old and experiences side effects like he's still taking the drug. He has gastrointestinal issues, dry skin, heart issues, etc., and still experiences cystic acne outbreaks. As someone else said, everyone is different and everyone reacts to the drug differently. I don't know if they've modified the formula since it's introduction in the 80's, but if you're considering taking the drug, be informed and know the side effects have the potential to last the rest of your life.
