Landlord liability for asbestos removal.
The RapidAmerican case required the court to construe the provisions of a lease agreement which was entered into roughly 15 years prior to the 1985 enactment of New York City Local Law No. 76, which law requires that asbestos be removed or encapsulated if any alternation or demolition is performed which will cause asbestos to become airborne. The lease contained typical office lease provisions which require (a) the tenant to comply with all applicable laws and requirements in connection with its use and occupancy of the leased premises or any tenant alteration, (b) the tenant to make all repairs to the leased premises at the tenant's sole cost and expense and (c) the tenant to abate any nuisance arising from any cause or condition created by or at the instance of the tenant.
At first blush, it appears that the afore-mentioned lease provisions, which favor the landlord, would result in the imposition of asbestos removal costs on the tenant. However, the Rapd-American court pointed out that under both New York City law and the lease the landlord is required to keep its building in good, safe condition and in compliance with all laws. Indeed, the Administrative code of the City of New York $S 27-128 provides that the "owner shall be responsible at all times for the safe maintenance of the building and its facilities." The Rapid-American court was not convinced that any of the other lease provisions shif-ted the responsibility for asbestos removal, which is clearly a safety issue, from the landlord to the tenant.
In rendering its decision, the RaPid-American court first relied on the earlier decision of Wolf vs. 2539 Realty Associates, 161 A.D.2d 11, 560 N.Y.S.2d 24 (1st Dept. N.Y. App. Div. 1990), which ruled that the abatement of an asbestos condition does not constitute a "repair" since repair work "does not entail the assumption of any responsibility for an inherent characteristic of a material employed in the original construction of the premises by the owner or his agents in compliance with the then-existing laws and regulations." Rapid-American (quoting Wolf, 161 A.D.2d at 16).
Secondly, the Rapid-American court ruled that, although the lease required the tenant's use of the premises to comply with all governmental laws and requirements, the tenant's particular use imposed no such duty on the tenant to pay for asbestos removal. The court stated that "governmental compliance clause related to the use of the premises "is designed to protect a landlord against the assumption of any additional burden which might be imposed by the necessity to comply with laws and regulations governing the tenant's particular use of the premises" (quoting Wolf, 161 A.D.2d at 16). Tenants have been required to make even structural alterations to comply with laws when compliance is necessitated by the "character" of the tenant's occupancy (citation omitted). Here, however, the demised premises are being used to sublet office space, the very use contemplated by the lease. (The tenant) is not occupying or using the premises for any special purpose. Since the inception of the lease, [the tenant has] been subletting and renovating the space [and] has not changed its use of the premises (citations omitted). Thus, the duty is imposed by a change in governmental policy, not because of any particular use of the premises; there is no new use running afoul of existing law (citations omitted).
The condition was created by the use of asbestos containing material as fireproofing, not by [the tenant's] use of the premises. Whilethere is evidence that the material does not present an immediate hazard unless renovations occur (citations omitted), the issue is not whether the premises are "safe" in the absence of renovations, but whether the building is in a "safe condition" so that Rapid can use the demised premises in the manner contemplated by the lease (citation omitted)."
Finally, the court further supported its decision by pointing out that, even though the lease is a long-term lease, it is the landlord "who will reap the ultimate benefits of the (asbestos removal) work" since the value of the building will increase as a result of such work.
It is important to note that the Rapid-American case, which imposes on landlords the cost of asbestos removal incurred by tenants in connection with subtenant renovations, would apply with equal effect to alterations by a tenant for its own use.
It is not clear whether the Rapid-American decision would have been different if the lease contained stronger pro-landlord language such as a provision specifically stating that tenant must comply with all present and future laws and governmental requirements, including, without limitation, those dealing with asbestos and other hazardous materials, whether imposed by federal, state or local authorities. The Rapid-American court could have construed such additional pro-landlord provision, as it did the other provisions of the lease, as only imposing the asbestos removal obligation on a tenant should a tenant's particular use of the premises be a type of use not specifically contemplated by the terms of the lease, and that as long as the tenant is complying with the permitted use provisions of the lease, the landlord will be required to pay for asbestos removal as a corollary to its obligation (under its lease and the New York City Code) to maintain and keep the building in good, safe condition and in compliance with all laws.

Woman who faked cancer sentenced to 1-year term
SANDUSKY, Mich. (AP) — A judge sentenced a Michigan woman to a year behind bars Wednesday in an "almost mind-boggling" scam that tricked an insurance company and swindled big-hearted people in small communities who believed she was dying of cancer.
Authorities said it was all an extraordinary lie: No doctor has ever stepped forward to even suggest that Sara Ylen had cancer.
Ylen, 38, already is serving a minimum five-year prison sentence in another case of deceit, and the one-year punishment for fraud will run at the same time.
Ylen claimed she developed cervical cancer from a sexual assault in 2001 and was regularly treated at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, Ill. The Michigan-based Mercy Hospice cut her off in 2011 after two years when tests showed her life wasn't in peril. The cancer hospital said it had no record of her as a patient.
The Lexington resident accepted thousands of dollars from supporters who for years regularly read of her plight in the Port Huron Times Herald. She repeatedly forged medical records, including documents that bore the letterhead of cancer specialists at the University of Michigan.
In January, Ylen pleaded no contest to fraud through false pretenses and false statements. A no-contest plea in Michigan is treated like a regular conviction for the purpose of a sentence.
"All of these fraudulent acts that you perpetrated on so many people, and the extent that you went to perpetrate them, is almost mind-boggling," Sanilac County Circuit Judge Donald Teeple said. "You took advantage of the goodwill and generosity of people who were more than willing to assist you, all based on lies."
Ylen was silent in court, about 90 miles northeast of Detroit, and has never given a public explanation. Wearing prison shackles and an oversized coat, she also declined to comment as officers escorted her to a van for a return trip to prison, where she is serving a sentence for falsely accusing two men of rape.
Outside court, defense attorney David Heyboer did not shed much light on her behalf.
"I don't know what took place. I'm not a doctor," he told The Associated Press as he walked swiftly to his car. "I don't know if you're going to have a heart attack in a minute."
Prosecutor Brenda Sanford acknowledged that some people might consider the sentence light. She said the judge simply followed Michigan law.
"There was nothing he could do to give her additional time," Sanford said.
Ylen owes about $122,000 to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, mostly for the hospice care. A 2012 event at Croswell Wesleyan Church raised $10,800 for her bills, but the church has not asked for repayment. It was just a fraction of the money given by people over the years.
"There was a time when I wanted to hear her say, 'I'm sorry.' I would have given her a big hug," said Sue Nieghorn, who organized the church fundraiser and attended the court hearing. "But I don't have that expectation anymore. She's still saying she's sick. A no-contest plea is not saying, 'I'm guilty.'"

2 mediamen gunned down in Quezon City
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Two mediamen were gunned down by still unidentified suspects in Quezon City Tuesday evening, police said.
Senior Police Officer 1 Pascual Fabreag of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit said Bonifacio Loreto and Richard Kho of Aksyon Ngayon Newspaper were shot by still unidentified suspects at Pilot Drive in Barangay (village) Commonwealth in Quezon City around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
Fabreag said the victims, along with one Rey Moreno, were drinking in front of a convenient store when the suspects arrived and alighted from a motorcycle, and opened fire. Moreno was escaped unhurt.
A Radyo Inquirer 990AM report quoted Moreno as saying that the gunmen immediately left the area after the incident and drove off onboard their motorcycle.
It also quoted Richelle, Kho's daughter, as saying that the motive behind the attack on his father and Loreto may have something to do with the people her father was helping as a mediaman.
Police said the victims died from multiple gunshot wounds.
Empty shells from a caliber .45 and caliber 9-millimeter pistols were recovered from the crime scene.
Follow-up operations are ongoing for the possible arrest of the suspects.

Big Bird11-19-2009, 22:00I've had Remington's that were great out of the box and a few that were downright awful. Most were pretty average rifles and almost all of them needed some work. Especially the triggers. If you have a problem Remington's customer service sucks bad especially during hunting season...expect 2-3 month delays to get your gun fixed. There are a ton of aftermarket geegaws to improve the standard Remington but if you are looking for a good dependable hunting rifle you can do better for the money. Look at the Tikka T3 or the CZ line of rifles. Savage isn't bad but its like an ugly sister. Yeah...she does stuff if you take her out but you don't want to be seen with her. Personally, I'm a WInchester M70 man and nobody will ever convince me there's anything better than my pre-64 .270 Featherweight. But I have no experience with the new WInchester's that were resurrected last year. I own a Tikka and its a fine functional rifle--decent but not great accuracy. I own a couple of Sako's--expensive and pretty average accuracy. I own a Kimber 84m--GREAT rifle with respectable accuracy for a shot 6 lb rifle with scope! You want a great rifle you are going to pay money for it. You want an average rifle buy a Remington. Then spend a couple hundred more getting it up to snuff. steve191111-20-2009, 02:03LA angler , what is hs or bc ?

Anybody with any more input??................................:wavey: klt198611-20-2009, 06:35Remington 700's are great rifles and my experience with them has been good. Everyone of them has functioned as designed and have been accurate. The new X Mark Pro trigger is supposed to be an improvement over the old one. However, for $25 or $30 any competent gunsmith can adjust and polish the older style trigger. The Remington's you are looking at will not be free floated from the factory. Here is my favorite 700 chambered in 270 Winchester, laminate stock, and a Nikon Monarch. :http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u55/klt1986/DSC00883.jpg minnshooter11-20-2009, 06:36IMHO, buy a Savage, better triggers, as good or better accuracy.

That's why noway has his rifles built. btw, if you haven't figure out, I don't like remington or own one any more ;) paynter211-21-2009, 05:52The only 700 I ever had was an ADL - probably circa 1972. I shot great. It didn't have a floor plate and I sold it. I do use and love 788 Remingtons. I have 3 of them (I think). I hunt with the .243. The 6MM Rem and 22-250 are NIB. I took the .243 to the range a few weeks - just before hunting season. I fired two shots. Both of them were in the 1" bull - 1/2 inch apart. That's with a 2-7X Nikon. I think it would be hard to beat that without more optics - I think that rifle will shoot with most. A week later I killed a buck at 240 yards with it - off-hand. BB - I used to have a pre-64 .270 Featherweight in .270. I never found it to be particularly accurate - not bad - just not great. There is also some discussion about the inherent accuracy (or lack there of) of the .270. I don't know what to think of that. My experience with Remington has been very good. But, I am only interested in the older ones. I'd like to find another ADL with cut checkering in 6MM Rem. vafish11-23-2009, 08:40I had a Remington 700 ADL .30-06. Put a Ramline Stock on it and a Qwik Clip conversion kit so it had a removable magazine. I bought it over 30 years ago with money from my paper route, but traded it off last year. Why did I trade it away? It was a nice rifle, problem was that in 30 years of ownership I never saw a single deer while carrying that rifle. Anytime I took it into the woods, nothing, nada, zip, not even a doe. I loaned the rifle out to 2 people, they shot deer with it. I shot plenty of deer in the meantime with handguns, shotguns, black powder, archery, and crossbow, but carry that rifle and couldn't see a deer. I even had a buddy of mine take me to a vineyard that he had permission to hunt on. He said they always see deer there, lots of doe, bring the rifle not the handgun, 150 yard shots are normal. He set me up in the best spot over looking a field where every night the deer come into the vineyard. What did I see, nothing. When we met back at the truck that night he couldn't believe I hadn't shot a deer. When I told him I had never seen a deer when carrying that rifle he said "Get rid of that F'ing thing, don't ever bring it hunting with me again." So I traded it away. CanyonMan11-27-2009, 21:01I've never owned a remmy 700, that was not a tack driver, up to and including my present rem 700 in 7mm rem mag. It used to put 5 shots under a dime at 100yds, (with my handloads), but i fire checked the barrel one day, (through stupidity), and now the 5 shots at 100yds are under a quarter.... There are several good brands of rifles out there to be sure..... But for me. I am settled on the remington 700, (for the last 45 odd years), and although the Ruger does not have as good a grouping, I do like my Rugers in MK 77. All in 7mm rem mag. I love the mauser type action/bolt, on the ruger. Good shooting CanyonMan EL COLONEL11-28-2009, 20:08Thanx everyone.................................:cool: expeditionx11-29-2009, 13:38Saw afew remington 700 ADL sythetic stock guns.

Welcome to the Wanda Curtis Video Download Site. Wanda Curtis' Biography (a.k.a. Annalisa Montezemolo) Hungarian Pornstar Wanda Curtis is one of the most exciting ladies on the scene today, a brunette who exudes sexual allure from every pore. Although she's been in the game for many years, folks are just starting to catch up to the undeniable charms of this brash sexual adventurer. Wanda Curtis was born in Hungary on November 7, 1975. By the age of 21 she was working in Budapest's thriving sex district, and it's there that she was spotted by American porn producers in 1997. Wanda Curtis' appeal was evident to the producers from the moment they laid eyes on her, and she was more than happy to delve into some on-screen debauchery for their cameras. Here first film was One Million Dollar Babes. This is what people think of when they think of European porn no holes barred raunch starring young women. Wanda Curtis followed that up with an equally head-spinning session in 'Penetration 8,' going for broke in a wild group groping opener. Wanda Curtis drifted away from the Stateside porn scene for a bit after 1998, shooting an occasional flick for Private but for the most part remaining fairly incognito. By 2001 she was ready to once again make her mark on U.S. hardcore. In the meantime, she had married Herschel Savage and moved to the States, making her eligible to continue Wanda Curtis career on our shores. Since her return, Wanda Curtis has established herself as one of the hottest, most sexually uninhibited women on the scene. Among her best flicks is 'Pirate Deluxe 9: The Bride Wore Black,' in which Wanda Curtis joins the young, luscious Daniella Rush and a couple of studs for a ravenous foursome. 'Young Sluts, Inc.' finds Mrs. Curtis in a hot one with Herschel Savage, then in a searing Sapphic session with Monique, Brandi Lyons and Kima Lee. Her one-on-one with Chris Cannon in Dripping Wet Sex 3' is another one not to be missed. Wanda Curtis continues to appear in a handful of porn features each month, making a name for herself as the woman to turn to when you want boobs, looks, and completely unhinged sexual expression. Her credits include 1999 Venus Award Winner - Starlet of the Year and today is a Michael Ninn contract lady. She is a European porn starlet, a woman who can dazzle with her looks or shock you with her raw love of passion.

The International Catalog of Sources for History of Physics and Allied Sciences
The International Catalog of Sources for History of Physics and Allied Sciences (ICOS) is a catalog of information on the locations and contents of collections of archival materials, such as unpublished correspondence and institutional records, around the world.
The AIP Center for History of Physics seeks out information about papers of scientists working in physics and related fields, such as astronomy, acoustics, optics, geophysics, medical physics and the other fields covered by the AIP Member Societies. We also seek information on records of major institutions such as academies of science, academic physics departments, and research laboratories. Our period of interest is chiefly from about 1890 to the present, but when we learn of 19th century collections of interest, and even earlier ones of major importance, we include them as well. In addition to collections that are in libraries and archives, the ICOS has information on papers in private hands (especially if they are available for research use), and information on papers of significant scientists that have been destroyed. The information we like to include on collections is: the kinds of materials (correspondence, notebooks, travel reports, minutes of meetings, etc.), scientific and nonscientific topics covered, names of correspondents, etc. Copies of finding aids to individual collections are welcome as supplementary aids for scholars; at the moment the AIP Center has more than 700 of these finding aids.
The AIP Center is well-known for this International Catalog and many historians of physics and other scholars touch base with us and the ICOS when planning new research projects. As reported in this Newsletter [Vol. 27, no. 1 (spring 1995)], the Center has an ongoing project to gather and provide computer-readable, indexed information on holdings in both American and foreign libraries and other institu- tions, and to share the data with the major online catalog in the United States, the Research Libraries Group-Research Libraries Information Network-Archives and Manuscripts Collections (RLG-RLIN-AMC).
How to Use the ICOS: The Niels Bohr Library staff will search the in-house ICOS database for any researcher on request: just send us a letter, fax, or e-mail. Also, by mid 1996 the majority of the existing ICOS records will have been uploaded into the AMC file of RLIN's bibliographic database (regular uploads of new information will continue after this date). All ICOS records are thoroughly indexed (names and subjects); topical index terms are assigned as specifically as possible to enable focussed searching. RLIN also carries an outstanding bibliography in the history of science and technology (see article). Access to RLIN is available in many university and research libraries. Individual researchers without such institutional access can also get access to RLIN by setting up a deposit account with the Research Libraries Group. Contact the RLG at 1-800-537-7546 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information on this option.

Big 12 Football-Week 6 Handicapping Guide
The Big 12 continues to dominate the national rankings with five teams in the latest AP poll. Kansas State leads the way at No.7 with West Virginia a close second at No.8. Texas falls just outside the top 10 at No.11 followed by TCU at No.15 and Oklahoma at No.17. Baylor was briefly ranked No.25 but was knocked out of the rankings after a wild loss to the Mountaineers last week. The following is a look at a couple of the top matchups this week in the Big 12 along with the opening spreads as provided by WagerWeb.
No.17 Oklahoma Sooners (-3.5) vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders
Oklahoma gets back to work this Saturday after a devastating 24-19 loss to Kansas State as a 15.5-point home favorite on Sept.22. The Sooners are 2-1 straight-up and 1-2 against the spread. The total has stayed UNDER in both of their games with a posted line.
Texas Tech is on the verge of breaking into the Top 25 with a 4-0 start both SU and ATS that includes a 24-13 win over Iowa State last Saturday as a one-point favorite on the road. The total has stayed UNDER in its last two games.
The series have been evenly split the last eight years with each team winning four times SU and ATS. The Red Raiders snapped a seven-game winning streak by the home team with a 41-38 victory last season as 29-point underdogs on the road. The total has stayed UNDER in five of the last eight meetings.
Iowa State Cyclones vs. No.15 TCU Horned Frogs (-11)
The Cyclones will look to bounce-back from this past Saturday's loss to Texas Tech in their first game against TCU since 2005. Iowa State is now 3-1 SU overall and 2-2 ATS. Their defense is ranked 17th in the nation in points allowed; giving-up an average of 14 per game. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last nine games.
This game will be TCU's first in the Big 12 as a member of the conference. It comes in at 4-0 SU (2-2 ATS) after squeezing by SMU last Saturday 24-16 as 13.5-point favorites on the road. The total stayed UNDER the 52-point line and has now stayed UNDER in all three games this season with a posted line.
When they last played each other in 2005, the Horned Frogs came away with a 27-24 victory as two-point favorites at home. Iowa State is 5-2 ATS in its last seven conference games and the total has stayed UNDER in six of those games. TCU is 24-8 ATS in its last 32 games following an ATS loss. The total has gone OVER in seven of its last 10 home game.
No.8 West Virginia Mountaineers vs. No.11 Texas Longhorns (-7)
This game is the highlight of Saturday's schedule as the winner would have a strong leg up towards a run at the conference title. It is also West Virginia's first road game in its new conference. The Mountaineers are 4-0 SU but only 1-3 ATS this year. They scored 70 points last Saturday in a three-point win over Baylor and put up 69 points in a win over Marshall on opening day.
Texas is off to a 4-0SU start and is 3-1 ATS after beating Oklahoma State last Saturday 41-36 as two-point favorites on the road. The total went OVER the 63.5-point line against the Cowboys but it has actually stayed UNDER in six of its last nine games.
This will be the first ever meeting between these two teams. West Virginia is 4-1 ATS in its last five road games and the total has gone OVER in five of its last seven games on the road. The Longhorns are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games against a team with a winning record on the road. The total has stayed UNDER in 18 of their last 26 games at home.

OPM lays new path for intern, hiring programs
Friday - 1/7/2011, 2:25pm EST
By Meg Beasley
Federal News Radio
Agencies now have a road map to begin the transition to the Pathways Program, a new process for recruiting and hiring students and recent graduates that replaces the Federal Career Internship Program.
The Office of Personnel Management released a memo this week outlining initial steps agencies should take to prepare for the restructuring of programs for intern and entry-level recruiting and hiring.
The memo follows the December 27 executive order outlining the new program. The administration said the order will establish a comprehensive structure to help the government compete with the privates sector in hiring new talent.
The Pathways Program will consolidate student and recent graduate programs into one framework with three career paths.
- Internship Program - OPM will merge all existing internship opportunities into one program aimed only at students currently enrolled in an educational institution. The order requires the students be referred to as interns and that they be given "meaningful developmental work."
- Recent Graduates Program - This new program will target recent graduates and requires that they apply within two years of receiving their degree. Graduates who serve in the military after graduation will have six years to apply. Agencies will place graduates in a two-year career development program after which they will be considered for career position.
- Presidential Management Fellows Program - Aimed at advanced degree candidates, this program will become more "student friendly" through an expanded eligibility window for applicants.
The executive order also eliminates the Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP), effective March 1. Though the new program will not be effective until regulations have been finalized following a public comment period, OPM encourages agencies to begin preparing for the transition now.
Agencies must:
- Designate a Pathways program officer by Feb. 10. The officer will administer the program, serve as the liaison to OPM, and report to OPM on the implementation of the program and the individuals hired under it. Agencies can decide whether to create a new position or assign the function as collateral duties to an existing position.
- Begin to assess the status of employees hired under the Presidential Management Fellows program, the Student Career Experience Program and the Student Temporary Employment Program. These programs will remain in effect until regulations to implement the Pathways are finalized and become effective. As such, agencies may continue to hire through them. Meanwhile, OPM is drafting regulations around how to transition employees when these programs are terminated. Agencies will have the opportunity to comment on the regulations before they are finalized.
- Assess the status of employees appointed under FCIP. Agencies with incumbent FCIP employees must convert them to career-conditional or career positions in the competitive service. The memo laid out specifics regarding this transition based on amount of service completed. Employees who will complete their service before March 1 should be considered for conversion to the competitive service. Agencies should decide before March 1 if employees who have completed more than one year of service have satisfied criteria for conversion. Employees who have served less than one year must serve the remainder of their probationary period in the competitive service.

Answer:It will probably pick up your carpet! This really is a powerfull little thing for it's size and value, it does actually lift the carpet slightly when you use it. I cut my own hair at home and however much newspaper goes down there's always some that finds it's way onto the carpet and the Genie coped well with it at the weekend, so I would imagine it would do the same on pet hair. Hope that helps!

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 575 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JNSmum Great little vacuum This is a super little vacuum for the price. I've had it around a month now. I was a bit dubious about buying this at 35pounds but I'm so pleased with it. It only has one setting but suction is really good both when using upright and with the tools that affix to the hose. It's really lightweight too, which being somebody with a disability, is a real advantage. I found that most of the more expensive machines have been too heavy for me. Having young children also means that, despite the short length of time I've had this vacuum, it has been used a lot (upto 3 times a day) and as of yet, there's been no loss of suction. A great item at a great price. 21 April 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 Good quality buy Having previously bought a more expensive Samsung vacuum cleaner that broke after a few months and didnt ever really pick up dust and dirt effectvely, I was pleasantly surprised by this vacuum cleaner. I read reviews online and am happy to say they are all correct. The suction is really strong and it is small and compact enough to store in a flat with very little storage. I am really happy with this product and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight, compact, good value vacuum cleaner. 26 September 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by clarie Fantastic Vac Ever This Genie Express Vac is Fantastic I hoovered with my old vac then used this one and it picked up so much it cleans deep down. It is so light and easy to put together and simple to clean out. IT brings up the carpets lovely and good on wooden flooring. I would say it was better than my old dyson or any hoover I have had . I am going to tell everyone about this vac as it is excellent. My Grandma would love this as it is so light. So cheap and so good go on treat yourself you will not regreat it. 21 August 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Florist276 Not pleased Bought this vac after reading all the excellent reviews, I had purchased a Bissell easy vac from asda's some time ago, apart from the fact that it is a bit awkward to clean the filter and the attachments are not very powerful, there is nothing wrong with it, but after reading the excellent reviews on the genie vac ,decided to try one, but must say I am very disappointed,after only using about 4 times,it was not as good as I expected, now tonight, after my dearly beloved said he would do the vacuuming for me it packed up working. I did accuse home of sabotage but he assures me this is not so. So I'm afraid it's back to asda for a refund. Sorry. 23 December 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by GuapaLea Perfect Little Hoover I've been using a stupid little pull along hoover for months and cursed every time I had to use it. So, in the end I decided to get myself a decent upright! After browsing the site I plumped for this one as it looked and sounded ideal. I only have a one bed flat so didn't want a huge expensive model. Well, I am certainly not disappointed. It may be small but boy does it have some suction!!!! I hoovered my lounge and was disturbed at how much it picked up that my old hoover had not touched. I would reccomend this little hoover without hesitation. It's light and small enough to hide away in a corner. My only slight criticism is that the cylinder is on the small side. But, for the money I paid, I am not going to grumble aout that. 06 June 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Butakun Fantastic value for money. I bought the Genie as a present for my parents as they are now in their later eighties and their monster Dyson has become too heavy for them to safely lug up and down stairs. It is almost ideal for them, and a very good piece of kit. It is both small and light, easy to move and store. The cleaning power is phenomenal and this is a slight issue as the super-powerful suction makes it difficult for my very weak Mum to push. A high/low power switch would address this issue. A washable filter would also be an improvement. These are really nit-picking issues, though. This vacuum cleaner is not a Dyson, but is compact, powerful and fantastic value for money. 01 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KerryT OK (on a budget) I bought this vacuum as I'd just got my first house and was on a budget what can I say it does exactly what you expect it to do! Its lightweight and easy to store and its not big and bulky, doesn't look cheap either. The only downside is that the suction isn't very good to say its a 1400 it doesn't seem like it and if you have pets it's not really that good as you will find around the filter it gets clogged very easy with hair (you will find you are emptying it more). Other than that if you on a budget or just fancy a second vacuum around the house this is a sensible option you wont find one as good for the price!! 21 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Medion Fantastic little machine I own a regular well known brand Vacuum which is very good but on the heavy side. I purchased the Genie to leave upstairs as it is so light but what a super little upright this is. I note that some reviews say the hose isn't long enough but I don't have a problem and as for the cord also not being very long, I justuse a single extension lead and can now use it over all of the upstairs and downstairs too. It's really powerful and altho doesn't have large cylinder it's easy to empty. Easy to store and all in all highly recommended 10 June 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsKA WOW I bought this Hoover on the strength of the other reviews. My Dyson didn't seem to be doing it's job and was looking for a replacement. I was worried by the low cost but decided to give it a go and I'm so glad I did ! Its so light it's almost like a child's toy but it's suction seems very powerful. I had hoovered my kitchen rug last night and have been out all so unless the dust/cat hair/dirt fairys have been in I should not of wasted my time because the Genie has just lifted so much of muck from the rug I'm ashamed ! Would highly recommend. 25 August 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by MrJC Excellent value, easy to assemble but basic model I was initially a bit disappointed when I opened the box as the hoover was much smaller than I'd expected. I joked with my partner that it looked like a toy hoover. It is very easy to assemble although the workmanship isn't that impressive. The screw to secure the handle was too short. However, securing the dirt bin in place did hold the handle in place. On testing the hoover I found that it was more powerful than it looked...and noisy! It is great value for money if you need a cheap lightweight hoover with a decent suction although in hindsight I wish I'd went for a more expensive model. You get what you pay for after all... 27 February 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Philbar Bought Two I bought one for myself and was really pleased with how light and powerful it was, so I bought one for my friend. Its a brilliant vacuum, and well worth the money, I would highly recommend to anyone 14 September 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by buddhababe dreadful bought this from asda weeks ago,belt went on it and cant get spare belt,i have rang genie customer services who in turn said they have run out of the belts and thats why they are so cheap as dont get supplied with extra belts,unbelievable,then they gave me another number to phone outwith their company who sent me belts,only to be the wrong ones even though ive supplied the number of the vacum cleaner,sent me more again after complained and got wrong ones again,hoover defunked now for 3 months so be warned its rubbish 15 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ROBoB Brilliant Vacuum Cleaner We have had expensive vacs in the past - Dyson, Oreck but this beats them all hands down!! Light but Powerful but picks up dog hair leaving carpet really clean. ok the dirt canister is small and needs emptying more often than the bigger machines but that's expected as it is a compact unit, yet has basic onboard tools too so its versatile Dont lash out on pricey vacs - get one of these! Would recommend to anyone. 12 August 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by chrisliz suprb purchase I bought the Genie Vaccum cleaner after reading a recommndation in a magazine it is ideal for me as it is light but as I have two small dogs it is perfect for any dog hairs 12 December 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by thebucksfizzer This sucks, in a good way! Initially I had my reservations due to the low cost of this vacuum. However after reading numerous positive reviews I decided to give it a go and boy am I glad I did. This is a lightweight and compact cleaner. It works wonders on my carpets and is excellent at getting up dog hair. The only negative I have experienced so far (and the reason why I have not given it 5 stars) is that due to the compact nature of the cleaner it fills quickly and therefore needs frequent emptying to maintain the suction. However, that said this is still a great value for money cleaner that gets the job done! 03 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by smc1960 extremely good value We purchased this Product based on the low price as we tend to replace vacuum cleaners on a far too regular basis.This cleaner is remarkably light which helps in use but especially when carrying up stairs.The suction is excellent and the carpets are noticeably cleaner after using this vacuum.The lead isn't the longest we've had but perfectly acceptable without the need to be constantly looking for the next electrical socket to plug it into.In short,it's extremely good value for money,one we would recommend and definitely one we would purchase again in the future. 22 October 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by satnat Best bargain ever i bought this genie hoover today,i was abit unsure at first as i read a few reviews that put me off but then thought i would ignore the bad ones and go with the good review and i am delighted that i did as i have a bad back at the moment and found the hoover very light,easy to put together,and the suction on it is amazing especially for the price,some people complained about it being noisy but i cant say iv ever heard a noise free one yet!its a good height,the cord is long enough for two rooms so yes very pleased with my purchase today :) 19 January 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dylansmummy05 Great lightweight hoover for a flat Ideal size for my flat, small and lightweight it's the best hoover I've had. Picks up bits of hair etc really well 25 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chooser Why pay more? We have had some cleaners in recent years from very well known makes (can't be mentioned but you can guess) and we are not stupid enough to pay for a certain "prestige" make which one sees at the tip regularly. So when we decided to get a new cleaner as the present "lightweight" is showing signs of playing up, we chose to try the Genie because at this price one can't really go wrong. What a surprise - it most definitely does a more thorough job than the allegedly more powerful existing machine and is even lighter in weight than the said cleaner. It is better designed too, you will not be disappointed if you buy a Genie. 04 June 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Theusualsuspect Best I have ever had! I have had my share of hovers and having animals have opted for the more expensive ones with the hyper allergenic no loss of suction and so on.(you know the ones I mean) I was looking for a cheap little hover for my business. I opened it at home to check it was ok and that is where it has stayed. My other hover was taken by the scrap man! Seriously this is the best hover I have ever had. Fantastic. Only one drawback is the cord. It is not long enough and as previous reviewers have said the cord should have a hook near the handle. Petty really considering. Go buy one today. I have 3. One upstairs one downstairs and one in my business. Best buy for years. Buy one today! 17 June 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by chango A bargain vac I was looking for a lightweight cleaner but with lots of power. This fits the bill very well and is a remarkable price when you consider how much power it has. It really shifted the ingrained dirt from my carpets and the removable nozzle is brilliant for hard surfaces. It's very easy to empty and small enough to stow tidily. I wish the hose were longer for reaching above door height and the cyclone holder looks a bit fragile. It's not that good for hard floors because you have to use the hose instead of the roller brush. But it's not expensive and does its job very well. 22 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by woffinden5 Best Purchase Ever I bought this hoover for my 3 bedroom home after reading all the good reviews and I have to say they didn't lie. It's the best I've ever had. It's small and light enough to carry up and downstairs, the suction on it is amazing for such a little hoover. I have 2 cats and it pulled cat hair up straight away, my other hoover wouldn't touch them that's why I bought this 1. The only bad points I could say about it is it could do with a longer hose but it's not that much of a issue and that it doesn't hold much and needs emptying more but again not that much of a issue it's still a fantastic hoover. 15 September 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Squirrel19 Great purchase An excellent value product. Cleans the carpets well and is light to use. Flex is a bit short but you can't have everything for such a low price. 10 August 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hollsgirl Fantastic value This is a great vacuum, easy to assemble. Takes seconds to empty dustbox and to clean filters. This machine seems to be based on my other very expensive cleaner but at a fraction of the cost. Excellent suction when using upright and on board tools mean they are to hand for awkward places. Not too bulky either. Purchased while on offer, making this excellent value for money. I would recommend this item. 24 April 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by may13 Great value vacuum Having read the reviews I was pleasantly surprised to find the vacuum stood up to all the positive ones. It has great suction, no more going over the same patch of carpet a million times to pick up hair & sock fluff!! It's very compact but packs a punch. My only real criticism would be that it lacks a little in height, but then I knew the dimensions before I purchased it so I'm not complaining... Overall, it is a great value vacuum and I'm very happy I got it. 24 April 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mama4papa IMPRESSED! I initially purchased this as a 2nd vacuum for upstairs but my other vacuum for downstairs a well known brand let me down because it scorched my carpet in several places, this is now my main and I purchased another while on offer as a spare because I was so impressed with the 1st which I've had for about two years, it's lightweight, easy to carry, easy to manoeuvre, the suction is brilliant on both carpet and hard floors, I have a cat and have no problems with it picking up the hairs, it comes with two extra tools which come in very handy, my parents have purchased one aswel after seeing mine in action! 11 June 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by bell51 great little buy bought this a week ago 9/4/2012 great little vac very light yet plenty of power have a red hall rug and a white cat gets pet hairs up no fuss easy to put together only one screw done in 3 mins easy to empty only given 4 stars mainly because there is no extenstion tube for the crevis tool so you have to stoop very low but solved that by finding a old one that fits and the lead is down by the floor took me a week to find under the handle there is a little hook you can fit lead into yes would buy again 16 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by boomum Best purchase to date I only have carpets upstairs so wanted a small hoover to keep in the airing cupboard. This hoover is so lightweight and easy to assemble and use. The suction power is out of this world, either I had a very dirty house or the power on this hoover is very high! Long lead enables me to leave it plugged in and also do stairs! Only criticism is that to try and get cobwebs from ceiling with the hose you have to lift hoover up as hose lead not long enough. Overall brilliant! 01 May 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by acegran Genie Vacuum Not sure yet if I can get on with this vacuum. Yes its light to carry, but hurts my back when using, It seems hard to push, Picks up great. Going to speak to someone about this problem, maybe it needs adjusting. 29 June 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Butterfly29 Great Suction! Lightweight, easy to use and carry up/down the stairs. Powerful suction, amazing how much its collects in the bin! Nice colour,design and generally a cute product! Few cons: its really plasticky, toy-ish almost, so can't see it lasting for long without cracks appearing in the hose pipe or it just breaking and cracking apart totally, thats got to be the worst point! Also dislike the fan blowing at the top of the bin when you're vacuuming away! Hose could've been a bit longer to reach in high up places. It does say not suitable for hard floors but worked ok on laminate flooring. 22 February 2012

haha you're still funny.
Hey, hows those squirrels doing?
Funny.. I don't see the metro here... but there's a few others.. good read if you have the time to spare.. top 10 highest mpg gasoline vehicles ever::: http://business-news.thestreet.com/philly/story/10-most-fuel-efficient-gas-powered-vehicles-ever-produced/1
Here's hoping you are having a wonderful Easter weekend!
Good to see one of your rare postings in TL today!
Hi V8_460. I was just talking to Joeski1 about my new Solar PV system and noticed your comment about your dingy for the land yacht. I used to have Dodge with a gas guzzling 440 V8, now we drive an Audi with a turbocharged 2.0 liter engine. Amazing amount of power and still ~20 MPG in town and 34 on the highway. Would you care to become buddies?? Oh, my little bro. is a DDS up near there in Aberdeen. Warren
Hey V8.. gas prices set to soar... does a person with a tesla , leaf or volt care? How about a plug in prius?? Negative.. bet someone with a 460V8 might be a bit concerned.. my 3.5L V-6 seldom sees more than a 25 on the highway.. way less in the city... yup.. it might be a good idea to stock a hybrid amongst the fleet.. or maybe two... best J1

I Love the smell of Blendzall in the morning....
Looks like something that came from the gulf coast and the BP disaster!! This is the rubber(?) piece that holds the oil lines in the to of the clutch cover. It was badly warped and hard as a rock. I heated it with a heat-gun and got it flat again. Tried JB weld to plug the holes as I took the oil pump off. Terrible mess!! On to "Plan B".
My neighbor volunteered a piece of thick rubber that he had in his junk drawer. A few tries and a couple of failures later, I was able to cut a good replacement with a single edge razor blade. JB weld on the back side to hold it in place as well as plugging the cable hole for the oil pump.
Never noticed this before and don't remember ever seeing any other cylinders marked like this. One more strange thing about this bike!!
Finally have all the parts I need to finish up assembling the motor. Everything coated with Blendzall and my hands smell wonderful!!
Got so stoned on the aroma, I forgot to take pictures of the brand new GYT piston and ring...
These were in my toolbox back in my U.S. Suzuki years. Actually they are as old as the bike!! Very fitting that they are being used on a bike of the same age!!
Can't remember the last time I used a dial indicator and buzz box to set timing...
Motor is back in the frame and now just the small stuff to take care of. Need to have a friend make me up a throttle cable. The tank is going to stay red until I run this thing a couple times. I will be trying to find someone to resurrect the original 1968 tank for show purposes.

Court declares Metro Manila LGUs' traffic ordinances legal
More News from Christine O. Avendaño
The Court of Appeals has declared as legal and constitutional the different traffic ordinances approved by local government units in Metro Manila.
In a 16-page order dated Dec. 17, 2012, the appellate court's sixth division also denied the appeal of 11 transport groups that it order the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to draw up, install and administer a single ticketing system for all traffic violations in Metro Manila.
The transport groups earlier questioned the various traffic ordinances and corresponding penalties being implemented by different LGUs from 2003 to 2005. The petitioners included the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines, Alliance of Concerned Transport Operators and Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines, among other groups.
MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino, meanwhile, said the single ticketing system the agency implemented in March was consistent with the group's petition for a unified traffic regulations implementing body, calling the move "prophetic."
"There is no way the court decision will have an effect on the single ticketing system we implemented," he added.—With a report from Jodee A. Agoncillo

oh and I havent been on the board for awhile, I apologize if this thread is noob or ******ed and I should have searched. :)
Is it ok to work out twice in one day if its different body parts and there is a 6 hour break in between?
I am a day behind right now and tryin gto catch up, here is my work out schedule right now...
Id go to a dr but the problem is I don't have insurance, and a docter will most likely tell me one of two things:
a. nothing big, just stay off of it.
b. requires further treatment.
Iv been experiencing knee and elbow pains the last few days so I have also been looking into it. From what people have told me glucosamine does help but it takes about 3-4 weeks before you start...
Thanks for the advice, I grappled for an hour yesterday with a knee brace on and it was ok except for popping out once but I was able to roll it back in. My friggin elbows were killing me as well...
I lift weights in the morning and do mixed martial arts in the evening. Last night we worked leg locks, this morning I did squats and leg press. About an hour after going to the gym I was walking to...
weighted incline sit ups always work great for over all ab development for me. My lowers are sore right now from doing them last night in fact.
I dont know about your shoulder but as for that week of I usually take one every 2-3 months and I feel a lot stronger when I come back.
I took it easy for a few weeks while increasing my shoulder workouts and doing more rotator cuff, just went back to doing heavy bench and there is no more pain.
why dont you worry about it when you get there?
nothing to do all day
it was weed day first
Hes is pretty light already though depending on his height, might wanna bulk for a while first.
Anyone have a link to this program? I just completed an 8-week one from M&F which added about 30 pounds to my bench but id love to try something new.
Iv been cutting for about 2 months, im going pretty slow but iv managed to go from 15% bf to around 11-12 while still getting slightly stronger.
Music may slow you down but I know for me it keeps me on the machine longer, if im not listening to music I get bored and its harder for me to keep going.
no previous collar bone injuries to speak of

Bahá'í Faith and auxiliary language
|Part of a series on
|Bahá'í Faith
|Central figures
|Key scripture
|Holy sites
|Other topics
The Bahá'í Faith teaches that the world should adopt an international auxiliary language, which people would use in addition to their mother tongue. The aim of this teaching is to improve communication and foster unity among peoples and nations. The Bahá'í teachings state, however, that the international auxiliary language should not suppress existing natural languages, and that the concept of unity in diversity must be applied to preserve cultural distinctions.
Teaching and purpose[edit]
The teachings of the Bahá'í Faith have a strong focus on the unity of humankind.[1] The Bahá'í teachings see improved communication between peoples throughout the world as a vital part of world unity and peace.[2] The Bahá'í teachings see the current multiplicity of languages as a major impediment to unity, since the existence of so many languages cuts the free flow of information and makes it difficult for the average individual to obtain a universal perspective on world events.[3]
Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, writing in the Tablets of Ishráqát and Maqṣúd,[4][5] taught that the lack of a common language is a major barrier to world unity since the lack of communication between peoples of different languages undermines efforts toward world peace due to misunderstandings of language; he urged that humanity should choose an auxiliary language that would be taught in schools in addition to one's own native language, so that people could understand one another.[6] He stated that until an auxiliary language is adopted, complete unity between the various parts of the world would continue to be unrealized.[7] `Abdu'l-Bahá, the son of the founder of the religion, called the promotion of the principle of the international auxiliary language "the very first service to the world of man" and its realization as "the greatest achievement of the age in conferring profit and pleasure on mankind."[8]
Bahá'u'lláh stressed, however, that the auxiliary language should not suppress existing natural languages, and that the concept of unity in diversity must be applied to languages.[3] The Bahá'í teachings state that cultural heterogeneity is compatible with unity, and that the Bahá'í teaching of unity requires the embracing of cultural diversity since humanity is enriched by the various cultures throughout the world.[1] The Bahá'í teachings state that having an international auxiliary language would remove the pressure from the natural aggrandizement of majority language groups and thus preserve minority languages, since each person would keep their own mother-tongue, and thus minority cultures.[3]
Choice of language[edit]
Neither Bahá'í literature, nor any of the various Bahá'í authorities, have specified which language should be used as the auxiliary language. The predominant language of the time is not necessarily to be used as the default auxiliary language.[9] Instead, the Bahá'í teachings are that the auxiliary language is to be selected or invented by the world's parliaments and rulers,[2] placing the language in the hands of language planners.[9] Bahá'u'lláh stated that a "world language will either be invented or chosen from among existing languages" and:
It is incumbent upon all nations to appoint some men of understanding and erudition to convene a gathering and through joint consultation choose one language from among the varied existing languages, or create a new one, to be taught to the children in all the schools of the world.[5][9]
Various Bahá'í leaders have made various comments to certain languages and qualities. `Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi made occasional comments favorable to the notion that potential auxiliary languages be simple and easy to learn.[10] `Abdu'l-Bahá also praised the ideal of Esperanto, a constructed language, and there was an affinity between Esperantists and Bahá'ís during the late 19th century and early 20th century.[11] While `Abdu'l-Bahá encouraged people to learn Esperanto, he never stated that it should become the auxiliary language.[2] Also both Shoghi Effendi and the Universal House of Justice, the governing body of the Bahá'ís, emphasized that there is no official Bahá'í endorsement of Esperanto as the international auxiliary language.[11] Today there exists an active sub-community of Bahá'í Esperantists; the Bahá'í Esperanto-League was founded in 1973, and Lidia Zamenhof, daughter of Esperanto creator L. L. Zamenhof, was a Bahá'í.[11]
The selection of the existing language or the creation of a new one each have their advantages; the selection of an existing language allows for a certain portion of the world's population to have already learnt it, but using an invented language would have the advantage of being emotionally neutral.[3]
Mother tongue and unity in diversity[edit]
The Bahá'í teachings on an auxiliary international language does not in itself threaten living languages or cultures; they do not call for cultural uniformity.[1] Instead, the Bahá'í teachings value and promote cultural diversity by stating that there should be unity in diversity.[3] The term "auxiliary" in Bahá'í scripture means that the international language will be taught in addition to first languages and that it will be secondary to those.[10] Since the auxiliary language is meant for community-external, inter-community communication, it is functionally separate from one's primary language. While secondary to the primary language of one's culture, it establishes reliable communication between members of differing primary speech communities.[10]
The Bahá'í teachings see minority group members as full members of the broader society, and thus see the need for unique cultural rights.[12] Language is strongly attached to culture. In Bahá'í literature, one's mother tongue is described as "the most profound characteristic of a people", "the garment of the spirit of the people", the "native air which we need for living and dying, which surrounds us from cradle to grave, which is and remains our most personal property."[12] Whereas both cultural and linguistic change are normal and ever-greater world unity expected, the precipitous extinction of non-dominant languages and cultures is therefore undesirable. Since the Bahá'í teachings on oneness of humankind emphasize the value of both diversity and unity in the sense of harmony rather than simple sameness, minority cultural rights can be seen as a matter of cultural justice, and language rights a subset of those cultural rights.[12]
