How to Remove an Air Conditioner
Follow these step-by-step instructions and you'll never know it was there.
If you have a wall-installed air conditioner that serves only as an eyesore anymore, you can yank it out and seal the hole yourself. Just make sure to get appropriate siding or other material to patch the exterior of the house when you're done. If you can't find an exact match, you can have paint computer-matched to your existing color.
Here's how to remove an air-conditioning unit and patch the hole:
Materials and Tools:
½-inch sheetrock
quick-dry joint compound
drywall tape
replacement shingles to match
2-by-4-inch boards
batt insulation
1 sheet of plywood
220-grit sandpaper
miter box or circular saw
cordless drill
drywall saw
utility knife
mud knife
taping knife
wonder bar
1. Remove trim around the unit on the inside and cut away caulk on the outside.
2. Remove the front of the unit.
3. Remove the motor and fins from the inside.
4. Remove the metal shell, using a wonder bar to pry away from the opening.
5. Frame the opening with 2-by-4's. Measure and cut a piece of drywall to the opening dimensions.
6. Screw the drywall into the 2-by-4 frame. Apply a thin layer of joint compound in the gaps.
7. Press tape into the joint compound and cover with another layer of compound. Cover screw heads with compound to fill depressions. Spread a second layer of mud to joints, feathering out to minimize seams. Let dry and then sand mudded area smooth.
8. Insulate the opening with fiberglass insulation with an R-factor of at least 13. The paper side goes toward the interior of the home. Note: Don't compress the insulation as you install it. The insulation value actually comes from the air space between the fiberglass strands, not the actual fiberglass.
9. Measure and cut a piece of plywood to the opening dimensions. Screw into the 2-by-4 frame.
10. Nail in siding/shingles to match the existing exterior.
11. Caulk around the edges of the siding/shingles to seal the seams.
12. Paint inside and outside as desired.

STAGE TUBE: Meets TV's New 'Elsa'- ONCE UPON A TIME's Georgina Haig
As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Georgina Haig, best known for her role as Peter and Olivia's daughter, Etta on Fox's cult sci-fi series "Fringe", has been cast in the role of Elsa, Queen of Arendelle on ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME. The beloved character from the hit Disney film FROZEN was voiced by Broadway's Idina Menzel. BroadwayWorld wants you to get to know television's new snow queen- check out some videos of the actress below!
Fans of the show may recall that during the season finale, a hidden urn from Rumplestiltskin's past was transported to the future as Emma and Hook arrived home from their time-traveling journey. The urn actually contained Elsa! Questions remain as to why Elsa was locked up by Rumplestiltskin and whether or not she would return as a villain when Season 4 premieres this fall.
As BWW reported last week, newcomer Elizabeth Lail has been cast in the role of Anna, the younger sister of Queen Elsa, while Scott Michael Foster will play Anna's beau Kristoff. (Click here for more details) Haig currently appears on CBS' "Reckless," which has just wrapped filming on its 13-episode order.

Famous for its kamameshi, or rice casseroles, this restaurant (part of a large chain) serves the freshest fish from the Seto Nai-kai—fugu, or puffer fish, oysters, and eel, to name but a few. If you prefer your fish cooked, try the rockfish grilled with soy sauce. English menus (and Japanese-style rooms with horikotatsu pits to hang your legs in) are available.

Making big money from small technology
With venture-capital funds depressed, kick-starting a technology business can prove to be problematic. James C. Hsiao and Kenneth Fong offer some advice for budding entrepreneurs. China has invested heavily in technology in recent years to lift its rapidly growing economy to a dominant position on the world stage. There is no doubt that the country is making its presence felt in the emerging fields of nanotechnology and biotechnology. But converting research into profitable products is tricky.

I have been eating and getting food to go from Marcello's for over six years now and I have been a very loyal customer. Last night, I got a chicken liver dinner and eggplant parmigiana dinner to go and I have to say that I was quite disappointed with the quality of the food. I mean I just didn't feel the usual love!

Get the carbonara or matriciana--you can't go wrong. Their minestrone soup is also delicious. The portions might be large, but the upside is that you will have totally delectable leftovers for weeks.

Ah yes, Marcellos! The old standby at Taraval street. Went here last weekend in the middle of the drenching rain. As usual, a warm greeting from Marcello himself. The waiters all know my boyfriend.

On our visit to this restaurant we were pleasantly surprised. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, (or the inside) but we had a great dinner.

Lincoln SystemsRead MoreIf you've ever stood on the second floor of the Los Angeles Central Public Library and marveled at the explosion of color within the rotunda or the 12 adjacent murals depicting California history, then you have the Los Angeles Conservancy to thank. When the library was scheduled for demolition in the mid-1970s, concerned citizens formed the Conservancy to save the rotunda, the exterior limestone sculptures, and the library's many other architectural treasures. The group finally convinced the City Council to preserve the library in 1983, after years of public discussion, debate, and book-sniffing sit-ins. Ever since, it has advocated for greater Los Angeles's historic sites and educated people about the city's architectural heritage. The Conservancy is responsible for saving and revitalizing landmarks such as the former Cathedral of St. Vibiana, Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House, and the world's oldest remaining McDonald's restaurant. To accomplish its mission, the membership-based nonprofit offers a number of ways people can experience these beautiful and storied places. The Last Remaining Seats series earned a Reader Recommendation for Best Film Series and Best Downtown Event in the Los Angeles Downtown News' 2012 poll, in which the conservancy's walking tours also earned the title of Best Downtown Tour. But the organization does more than save grandiose public buildings: increasingly, it also focuses on smaller community projects such as garden apartments and sites that reflect the area's rich Latino culture. Executive director and 20-year Conservancy veteran Linda Dishman explained to Patt Morrison of the Los Angeles Times, "People are becoming more vocal. …That's one of the great secrets about Los Angeles: People really identify with their neighborhoods." The Conservancy also presents annual preservation awards to honor the efforts of individuals who fight to save places such as Pann's Coffee Shop and Griffith Observatory.523 W 6th StLos Angeles, CA US
Cup O' JoyRead MoreIf you have yet to try Cup O' Joy, it's the perfect time to visit the hugely-popular restaurant. It's a culinary destination for those that want good quality and an excellent staff. Though the overall price can be a bit on the low side, you won't be sacrificing any quality. In fact, you should be able to enjoy a good meal for $11 or $12, and can probably get in and out for $8 if you try. When you get there, think about ordering the milkshakes, the dumplings, or the green tea, as all three are great. You'll be glad you did! A reputable favorite in University Park, Cup O' Joy is a tasty choice when you're in the mood for Asian cuisine and want to branch out from the regular ol' Chinese or Japanese fare. The service, in general, is "friendly" and "nice," and food is "tasty" and "decent." More specifically, the smoothies are touted as "delicious," Also, its variety is known to be "good," while the manager is "friendly" and "nice." Don't worry about trying to find a spot on the street, as visitors to the restaurant do have access to a private parking lot nearby.3016 S Figueroa StLos Angeles, CA US

|Music ... singer composer lyricist author
One of the top singer-songwriters of the 1970s and 1980s, Carly Simon combined an earthy sensuality with a soaring voice and lyrical ruminations on romance and happiness with such hits as "Anticipation," "You're So Vain," "You Belong to Me" and "Nobody Does it Better." Frequently mentioned in the same breath with other introspective female musicians as Joni Mitchell and Carol King, Simon's music was as hopeful about love as it was cautious, a position she took in real life as well through several high-profile relationships with stars like Warren Beatty. She settled down in 1972 with singer James Taylor, but by the end of the decade, both her marriage and career were in a tailspin. After divorcing Taylor in 1983, she rebounded in the late 1980s with the album Coming Around Again and the song "Let the Rivers Run" from the movie "Working Girl" (1988), which earned her an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe. Simon worked feverishly throughout the 1990s until a bout with breast cancer in 1997 put a halt to her schedule. She made tentative inroads back into music in the new millennium, while still enjoying the fruits of her earlier hits, which remained anthems for generations of men and women.

394 Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was a nineteenth century English writer who wrote such classics as: A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, A Tale Of Two Cities, Great Expectations, and many others. He was born into a middle class family, but when he came home from boarding school at the age of ten he found his family living in poverty. He was unable to return to school in order to help out at home. When he was twelve, his father was sent to prison for his debts. While the rest of the family lived in Marshalsea prison Charles was forced to work long hours in order to support himself. This left a powerful lifelong wound, social humiliation, and defeat. This was an extremely formative experience in young Charles's life. Charles' father, John, was a clerk in the Navy Pay Office. John Married Elizabeth Barrows in 1809. Elizabeth Barrows' father Charles Barrows was the chief Conductor in the Navy Pay Office. Charles Dickens grandfather was also employed by the Navy Pay Office and was accused of embezzling £6,000 and fled England. His father John was the basis for the character Mr. Micawber while his mother Elizabeth was the basis of Mrs. Nickleby. His first novel, the Pickwick Papers, was written as a serial from 1936-1937. Early in his career he taught people to expect the unexpected for he may have had them laughing in the Pickwick Papers but he soon showed a more serious side in Oliver Twist. He was labeled a social reformer because of the attack the Poor Law received as a result of his novel Oliver Twist. Charles took pride in his role of social reformer. Towards the end, Charles was not a happy man despite his literary success. His marriage had not been a love match, and in the end they lived separate lives. Restless, he released his non-literary energies in travel - to the US, Switzerland, and Italy. The energy and exuberance of this man was reflected in the extraordinary vividness of his descriptions. Despite his exuberance, there was always an undertone of sadness to Dicken's life. What distinguishes him from other authors is the way he was able to control the readers emotions; this was the product of his very intense personality. The information for this short biography was gathered from the Encyclopedia Americana - the International Edition, 1998. http://www.handwriting.org/archives/98oct

TSM-DVB is now available in combination with the company's R&S ROMES Coverage Measurement Software to provide information about transmitter signal quality. In addition, coverage and potential error sources can be clearly, quickly and economically displayed on a Windows notebook PC.
The R&S TSM-DVB DVB-T Diversity Test Receiver replaces traditional network coverage measurement methods that require enormous effort and a large number of personnel including the need to meet CCIR guidelines with a 10m high antenna at a test station, and reception tests while the vehicle is moving. The mobile measurement provides quick and reliable measurement values up to speeds of 100km/h.
The test system supports all DVB-T modes including the hierarchical modes across all 6-, 7- or 8MHz bandwidths. The test instrument is equipped with two antenna inputs and two demodulation channels. Due to its power supply of 12V, it can be easily connected to a vehicle at any time.

Not only might the patch contents leach into the water, which would not be a huge problem, except for the wearer whose dosage is therefore reduced. A worse situation might occur during warm water immersion, when the water temperature increases the medication uptake suddenly, and the patient can inadvertently overdose. I had this situation occur when one of my patients was lawn-mowing on a very warm day, and was found unconscious in her yard. Fortunately, she survived because of a very smart EMT who administered a narcotic blocker. Pain patches should NOT be used in the pool. If the patient is on a daily patch, use the therapy for the change time, taking off the patch before pool entry, and replacing after the shower following.

LINCOLN, Neb.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) At long last, Nebraska's defense turned in a Blackshirt-worthy performance.
What a tough day to be a highly ranked team.
All sorts of ambitions came crashing down in a handful of Top 25 upsets on Saturday, none more costly than No. 3 Florida's loss to Georgia.
-Matt Scott, Arizona, had 469 total yards and accounted for four TDs in the Wildcats' 39-36 win over No. 10 Southern California.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Ameer Abdullah ran for 101 yards and a touchdown and Nebraska took control of the Big Ten Legends Division with a 23-9 victory over No. 20 Michigan on Saturday night.

AFC Free Agency Notes: Key Departures Mean Ravens Now Harbaugh's Team
Published March 14, 2013
CENTER OF ATTENTION: In Ft. Lauderdale, Dave Hyde writes the changing landscape of the AFC East, which includes the Patriots not re-signing WR Wes Welker, makes the first two days of free agency "a success for the Dolphins." The "narrative only improves by their adding" WR Mike Wallace and "debunking two commonly held, constantly repeated, often overstated myths." The first is Owner Stephen Ross "won't spend for a winner," while the second is free agents "won't come to the Dolphins." It is "fun to be the center of attention like the Dolphins are now." But March is a "fool's month and being its champion means nothing" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 3/14). ESPN's Eric Mangini said the Dolphins "wanted to make a splash" in free agency and "get the fan base excited." But with Wallace now being the third-highest paid WR in the NFL, it "creates problems down the road because you only have so much money and the splash you make now it's going to affect you in future years." ESPN's Tedy Bruschi: "It better pay off" ("NFL32," ESPN2, 3/13).
WRATH OF THE TITANS: ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky wrote the Titans in free agency have "traditionally sat back, let the market set itself, then reacted as members of the second phase of player acquisition." But "not this time." Titans Exec VP & GM Ruston Webster and coach Mike Munchak yesterday introduced G Andy Levitre, TE Delanie Walker, DT Sammie Lee Hill and RB Shonn Greene. Webster said that he has been "thrilled with the way things have played out." He said, "(Titans Owner Bud) Adams gave his blessing and allowed us to be aggressive. It was actually fun to set a plan and just go do it" (ESPN.com, 3/13).
THE WAITING GAME: In N.Y., Steve Serby writes Jets fans have "every right to wonder" whether Owner Woody Johnson, GM John Idzik and coach Rex Ryan are "asleep at the free agency switch." What is "unfolding before your bloodshot eyes, Jets fans, is the very reason why the owner should have ushered Ryan out the door with" former GM Mike Tannenbaum. Serby: "You cannot function properly when your general manager has one vision and your head coach has another." But just because "you lay in the weeds at the start of free agency doesn't mean you don't have a clue." The "problem is the Jets are the Jets, meaning they are guilty until proven innocent" (N.Y. POST, 3/14).

Religious organizations win, lose in contraception mandate cases
Two church-affiliated schools scored a victory and a Christian-owned chain store was handed a costly defeat this week in their separate ongoing legal battle against the Obama administration's contraception mandate.
On Thursday, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver upheld a lower court ruling that denied a request by arts and crafts chain store Hobby Lobby to temporarily block enforcement of the mandate. The denial could cost the company up to $1.3 million in daily fines if it doesn't provide a controversial contraceptive drug through its employees' insurance plan.
That ruling comes two days after the Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., reinstated the lawsuits filed by Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina and Wheaton College in Illinois and ordered the government to make good on its promise to draft new rules that could resolve the legal standoff between church-owned schools and hospitals and the Obama administration.
The ruling "turned a page here by adding a new level of supervision to hold the government responsible for the promise it made," said Kyle Duncan, general counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents the two church-affiliated schools.
"This is a win not just for Belmont Abbey and Wheaton, but for all religious nonprofits challenging the mandate," Duncan said. "The government has now been forced to promise that it will never enforce the current mandate against religious employers like Wheaton and Belmont Abbey, and a federal appellate court will hold the government to its word."
The two schools are among 42 organizations and businesses that have sued the government claiming that the ACA's mandate — which requires that employers cover contraception in workers' insurance plans — violates their federal right to religious liberty because they oppose contraception on religious grounds.
And while the results are mixed on the legal front, in the court of public opinion recent polls show Americans are siding with the government over the mandate question, apparently seeing it as a health care issue instead of religious liberty.
"The American public appears unaware or unconcerned that some religious organizations and family businesses indicate fear of losing the freedom to practice their faith under the new health care regulations," said Ed Stetzer, president of Lifeway Research, which does polling for the Southern Baptist Convention.
Profits and nonprofits
The government argued that the cases brought by the church-affiliated schools and hospitals should be dismissed because the administration had created a "safe harbor" from enforcement until August 2013. By then, government officials would come up with new rules that would resolve the religious objections of nonprofit employers like Catholic Belmont and evangelical Wheaton.
Most of the lawsuits brought by nonprofits have been dismissed based on the government's promise that the problem will be resolved out of court.
On Friday, during a hearing appealing a lower court's dismissal of the suits brought by Belmont and Wheaton, government attorneys told a panel of judges that the administration would "never enforce" the current mandate and that a new rule would be drafted by March 2013.
"We take the government at its word and will hold it to it," the appellate court ruled. The justices held the lawsuits in abeyance pending the new rule. They also ordered the government to file status reports every 60 days on the progress of the new rule.
While the ruling was good news for nonprofits, it gives no relief to the 10 private businesses that have filed similar claims that the mandate violates their religious freedom in the workplace. Some of those firms, like the national arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby, face millions of dollars in daily fines for not complying with the mandate, which takes effect Jan 1.

Product description
The second novel in Kim Stanley Robinson's massively successful and lavishly praised Mars trilogy. 'The ultimate in future history' Daily Mail Mars can be plundered - for the benefit of a ravaged Earth. It can be terraformed to suit Man's needs - frozen lakes form, lichen grows, the atmosphere slowly becomes breathable. But most importantly, Mars can be owned. On Earth, countries are bought and sold by the transnationals. Why not Mars too? Man's dream is underway, but so is his greatest test. The survivors of the First Hundred - Hiroko, Nadia, Maya and Simon among them - know that technology alone is not enough. Trust and co-operation are need to create a new world - but these qualities are as thin on the ground as the air they breathe.

Author information
Kim Stanley Robinson was born in 1952 and, after travelling and working around the world, has now settled in his beloved California. He is widely regarded as the finest science fiction writer working today, noted as much for the verisimilitude of his characters as the meticulously researched hard science basis of his work. He has won just about every major sf award there is to win.
Review quote
'Red Mars is the ultimate in future history' Daily Mail 'One of the undisputed leaders of the field in contemporary science fiction' Guardian 'If I had to choose one writer whose work will set the standard for science fiction in the future, it would be Kim Stanley Robinson...' New York Times 'One of the finest works of American sf' Times Literary Supplement 'Absorbing, impressive, fascinating... Utterly plausible' Financial Times 'A staggering book. The best novel on the colonization of Mars that has ever been written.' Arthur C. Clarke 'A mighty trilogy... forecasting every detail and facet, triumph and tragedy, crucial breakthroughs and trivialities of humanity's colonization of another world' Daily Mail
Flap copy
In the "Nebula Award winning Red Mars, Kim Stanley Robinson began his critically acclaimed epic saga of the colonization of Mars, Now the "Hugo Award winning Green Mars continues the thrilling and timeless tale of humanity's struggle to survive at its farthest frontier. Nearly a generation has passed since the first pioneers landed, but the transformation of Mars to an Earthlike planet has just begun The plan is opposed by those determined to preserve the planets hostile, barren beauty. Led by rebels like Peter Clayborne, these young people are the first generation of children born on Mars. They will be joined by original settlers Maya Toitovna, Simon Frasier, and Sax Russell. Against this cosmic backdrop, passions, rivalries, and friendships explode in a story as spectacular as the planet itself.

The mayor said she's been "honored and excited, […] [Read More]

I have several things to say about this. The slate running to replace Mayor Annise Parker features a globetrotting sailor, a triathlete grandfather, a millionaire minister and no women.

The sight of a dead animal by the side of the road is always heartbreaking, and in Germany, it's a particularly big problem, with an estimated one million car versus animal encounters on German roads annually. Most of those incidents end badly for the animal, but sometimes for the driver as well; larger animals like deer, elk and boars can cause serious damage to cars, and in some cases lead to deaths. 20 people died on German roads last year as a result of animal-related collisions, and insurance claims related to such events were also very high.
For a radical illustration of how large roadkill looms, German researchers estimate that of the wildlife killed in Germany annually, around 20% die as a result of being hit by cars.
That's a lot of deaths, and German rangers, policy officials and highway safety officers want to do something to change that, especially in the heavily forested regions of Germany where wildlife traffic tends to be heavy. Foxes, badgers, rabbits and numerous other small animals attempt to cross roads in the millions each year, and not all of them make it safely to the other side. Drivers, meanwhile, fear accidents with deer and other large animals, knowing that they have little time to stop if they see animals in the road, and that a panicked animal can behave unpredictably, potentially creating a dangerous situation.
A number of tools have been proposed for dealing with the problem, but it's proving to be a complex issue. One proposal involved reflectors that would flash when cars approach, designed to deter animals, but they didn't seem to have a big effect. Hunters also tried "odor fences," using foam scented with predator urine to make the area around the road unappealing, pushing deer into safer areas. This, too, didn't seem to work very well.
One option can be effective: it activates flashing lights in the roadway when deer and other large animals are approaching. Unfortunately, it's not very cost-effective for installation across Germany, and it doesn't do much for small animals. Another solution is appearing in German cars themselves, as well as those from other nations with a big roadkill problem: collision detectors designed to identify the signs of wildlife and help drivers avoid them. Such safety devices can help people avoid pedestrian collisions and other accidents, too, but they're expensive, don't come standard on every new car, and of course don't do much for those driving older models.
Here's a really cool solution: the green bridge, aka wildlife overpass. Instead of creating a narrow crossing bridge or tunnel, it acts more like an extension to hook up habitat that would otherwise be segmented by the road. Deer and other animals can cross the landscaped overpass safely, allowing drivers to pass freely below. It can be costly to implement, but it might be a good long-term solution to the issue, as it addresses issues like habitat segmentation as well as wildlife and road safety.
In addition, many of these overpasses accommodate farm vehicles, too, which keeps them out of the road so they don't disturb the flow of traffic. In communities where such vehicles commonly have to take to public roads and subsequently cause traffic jams, this can be a serious safety problem, as changes in the flow of traffic increase the risk of accidents. With a green bridge, this problem is sideskirted, keeping farmers and animals safer along with drivers!
Ongoing research in Germany continues to find a solution to the roadkill problem, and some nations are looking forward eagerly to the results to tackle roadkill issues of their own. With more and more cars on the road these days, animals are at even more risk, and it's time for that to change.

thanks for sharing :)
I know they have overpasses in certain part of Canada to protect wildlife and the rest of the world should do so if financially able. It's a precaution on the reckless drivers and protect animals from being hit. Actually, in the long run, it saves the countries money by cleaning, etc...
I think Green Bridges are a most excellent idea and encourage every country to start building them immediately.They would benefit all life by restoring greenery to areas that have been paved to make roads. A win win situation. A supply of money could be printed to apply to this project directly, thus also getting more money circulating into the economies of every country.If the supper wealthy won't pay their fair share, then lets just print what we need to get the things done that need doing while they sit on their money, doing nothing useful with it.Unless it's circulating, it does no good.
Well if some thing is not done there simply wont be any wild life left, now if all countries would implement something like this there might be a chance for the animals. A step in the wright direction....
Wildlife overpasses/underpasses and collision detectors are a very small price to pay to preclude the deaths of so many animals. Also, keeping roads out of areas critical to wildlife, would be great as well. All these efforts suggests mankind might actually be capable of caring for the good of other species, which is long overdue.
Way to go Germany
Good idea Thanks for sharing
Absolutely love this idea. Cut foreign aid and we'd have the money to do so much. Sadly, our Congress could care less about wildlife. TX is one of states increasing speed limits - uses more gas and, I would think, makes it more difficult to slow for anything crossing your path.
I think in parts of England they use underpasses. In any case, overpasses and underpasses are an excellent solution. However, another excellent solution is for people to drive carefully. I've been driving for circa 50 years and I have never as far as I am aware ever killed or injured any animal on a street or highway. I do not drive with a lead foot on the gas peddle and I slow down considerably in areas where wildlife may be present. It breaks my heart when I see squirrels, rabbits, cats and other creatures dead on the roads. What is really terrible are those sadistic creeps who run over animals deliberately and brag about it.
A brilliant idea that requires implementation all around the world but is costly. Plenty dosh to screw up the world. Very little spent on saving it.

Unformatted text preview: Unwinding Cylinder
A cylinder with moment of inertia about its center of mass, mass , and radius has a string wrapped .
around it which is tied to the ceiling. The cylinder's vertical position as a function of time is At time the cylinder is released from rest at a height above the ground.
A. The string constrains the rotational and translational motion of the cylinder. What is the relationship between the angular rotation rate and , the velocity of the center of mass of the cylinder? Remember that upward motion corresponds to positive linear velocity, and counterclockwise rotation corresponds to positive angular velocity. Express in terms of and other given quantities.
