Once again, I cannot get access to CBS, even though I have a TV and live in the U.S.
Would anyone have a live stream online?
I found this site, but it's the press room:

OK, this works

I get the impression tonight that Broadway wasn't impressed with the LES MISERABLES movie.
(Or as I my dad calls it, Les Miserable balls.)
RRAJune 9, 2013 at 8:02 pm
I'm sorry, my bad. I meant "Les Misery Balls."
Why the Oscars won't consider NPH as host, I don't understand.
SeattleMoviegoerJune 9, 2013 at 8:36 pm
just saw the opening of the Tony's. Lord, have mercy! it was great. and to Ryan who says he'll puke if he sees another "Broadway style" number on the Oscars—like the Tony's, the Oscars are LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. people sing, people dance. it's called show biz, bud. when it's done right (and it often is on the Oscars) there's nothing like it. that's hard to understand when the majority of your entertainment is at a mall multiplex.

Two things are evident:
1 – The Tonys (show) puts the Oscars to shame
2 – They don't get any classier than Cicely Tyson
JPJune 10, 2013 at 6:00 am
So… Tracy Letts beat Hollywood's most popular actor. Not good business for Weinstein. The industry may have a chance to get revenge later this year.
Sam JulianoJune 11, 2013 at 5:26 pm
Yep the Tony Award show always puts the Oscars to shame. Too bad there were slim pickings on the Great White Way this past year, but sadly this has been the trend as of late.
Alan of MontrealJune 13, 2013 at 10:09 pm
I think it's interesting to note that half the acting winners are African American: Cicely Tyson, Patina Miller, Billy Porter, and Courtney B. Vance.

How to Make Dipped Candles
By: CandleWic
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Instead of pouring wax into molds to make homemade candles, small pillar candles or birthday candles can be made through the technique of dipping. Only dip items that are suitable for this purpose, such as suitably long wicks. Be careful not to drip melted wax onto any exposed skin and keep all body parts away from the wax. Always wear proper safety glasses when making homemade candles.
The easiest dipped candle to make is a mini taper or birthday candle. Use pliers to grasp a piece of flat braided wick such as a 12 Ply or 15 Ply and dip the wick repeatedly in any pillar or freestanding candle wax with a melt point higher than 140 degrees F melt point. Let cool between dips. Keep dipping until desired diameter matches your wick size. Hand dipped birthday candles really show how much you care about a person.
Another dipping technique involves the use of Pigment Dye. Pigment dyes can only be used to color the outside of the candle and will clog the wick if you color the core. Make a small batch of wax using .5 to 2 percent pigment dye. By dipping any freestanding candle into the mixture, you can transform its color almost instantly. Some people dip Pre-Made White Candles to instantly match any color scheme for any occasion. For an added touch of elegance, take a blunt instrument and carve designs into the over-dip so the core color shows through. Don't limit yourself to pillars and votives. Our Apple Mold dipped halfway in brown makes a candle almost worth biting into, or our Christmas Tree Mold dipped halfway in white looks just like wintertime.

Continuing with my theme of former/future WPS teams, here's my take on the Western New York Flash! I'm struggling with the balance of this one. While I realize the wordmark is slightly absurd, its only a bit left-heavy. I tried to balance it by putting the sunset graphic off to the right. Think it works? I've looked at it for too long and would love outside opinions! Thanks for looking, guys!

Top 4 Things One Should Think About When Selecting a Proper Caster & Wheel
A lot of people do not think about casters and wheels all that often, but for those who have the need to use them, it is imperative that they get the correct ones for the job. If the wrong ones are installed, it could cause a catastrophic accident to occur, which would not be good for anyone involved. In order to learn more about this subject, keep reading for some of the top things one should know about casters.
Know the Conditions of the Floor
This is important because if one does not pay attention to the conditions of the floor, they could get the wrong size of caster and the wrong type of wheel for that particular type of flooring.
Be Careful When Choosing Casters for Extreme Climates
If the caster and wheels are going to be used in doors, this particular tip does not matter. All casters and wheels should be perfectly fine to work with at room temperature. The issue with temperature comes in if they are going to be exposed to extreme climates. If one is planning to use the casters in wheels in an environment where they will have to deal with extreme climates, then they need to be aware of which ones are capable of providing them what they need.
Prepare for Weight
When purchasing casters and wheels, it is imperative for one to know the weight of the things that they will be used to move. Weight can pose a problem if one doesn't choose the right caster and wheel. So, one should always make sure that the caster and wheel combination is strong enough to support any and everything that they require from it. Read the rest of this entry »
Finding An Excellent Renovation Company
If you own a home, you may eventually decide to spruce things up by making some renovations. If this is the case, this is definitely not a project you want to take on by yourself. You need to find a reputable and experienced renovation company to handle the project to your exact specifications. However, finding a renovation company is much easier said than done. This is because all Manhattan bathroom renovation companies are not created equal. This is why it is important for you to do all of the necessary research before making a selection. Here is how to go about finding an excellent renovation company.
1. Is the company very experienced?
For obvious reasons, before you allow a crew of men to come into your home and start tearing it apart, you need to be absolutely sure they know exactly what they are doing. You do not want to have them make a serious mistake, only to find out later that they have only been doing home renovations for six months. Therefore, you need to find out how long every person on the contractor's crew has been doing this line of work. You should also ask to see examples of their previous work. Any reputable company will be able to show you some before and after pictures of some of the previous homes and apartments they have remodeled. If they can't provide you with any pictures, you should be skeptical. Read the rest of this entry »
Give More Information For A Rug Cleaning Company
Rugs are undoubtedly the stylish inclusions to your home decoration. But, no matter what the supplies your rugs are woven of, it is certain that they would turn into dirty and stained. Your valuable region rugs can turn out to be stained due to quite a few causes. Food and liquid spills, mud stains, debris, filth and dusts etc are a number of the widespread factors that make your rugs unclean and shabby. But, what should you do once the rug turns into stained? Properly, although some stains are tough to be removed, but a lot of the stains on rugs are fairly frequent and may be eliminated easily. Here is really a record of five effective tips which will manual you through the procedure of cleaning your rugs.
First of all, whenever you observe any stains in your rugs, make sure to work with the vacuum cleaner as rapidly as you possibly can. The brush on the vacuum cleaner is very successful in removing the stains. In the event the stain is because of any form of loose debris or other dusts, you could possibly not need to do every other items but making use of the vacuum cleaner. When the stains will not be eliminated in the very first application, repeat the actions for a number of much more occasions. But, when the stain exists even then, you are going to need to go for your next stage.
Remodel Now -Reap the Benefits Later
The old adage "there's no place like home," gets more meaningful as we age. With many of us tied into thirty-year mortgages, and with a slow housing market, it makes sense to renovate instead of moving. If you plan to stay in your home as you age, there are some improvements that you can make now which will not only increase your enjoyment of your home today but which will reap benefits later.
Consider modifying entryways to eliminate stairs. If you love your front porch, then perhaps a step-free entrance can be added or altered at another point like a garage. Friends or family with mobility issues will be grateful to you now, and your home will be safer for you later.
Think about adding a walk-in closet in the bedroom with storage at different levels. It will allow you to move seasonal things where they are more accessible now and, in the eventuality that you might someday need wheelchair access, the closet will be a welcome addition.
In the kitchen, you might lower your cooktops and raise your dishwasher for easier access. Pantries with motorized revolving shelves can keep your spices and canned goods in order now, and may someday allow you to reach just what you want without straining or stretching. Think about center islands and wide walkways, too, with knee space under them.
Bathroom renovations can include more walk space and better lighting. They might also include a walk-in tub such as a Hydropool Hot Tub. The appliance can offer a spa-like experience and the luxury of a hot tub now, but later it could mean relief from arthritic joints and ( if you select a swim version) the luxury of indoor, low-impact exercise.
Many contractors who can give your home a wonderful and useful makeover also offer financing. In addition, appliances that make your home more comfortable and senior friendly often have financing available. The Hydropool Company, for example, has several options for hot tubs financing like "Buy Now-Pay Later" and "No Down Payment/ Interest-Free for six months.
Renovation can make an old house feel new again and increase the value of your home. It certainly can make your home more comfortable and appealing. The real value, however, may lie in what the home will become in years to come: a senior-friendly and safe place, adaptable to your changing needs
Interior ideas for the novice home stylist
You don't have to be a celebrity to enjoy the very best domestic style in your own home. Although magazines and TV shows regularly take a look inside houses of the rich and famous to show off amazing interiors, even the most inexperienced novice stylist can achieve fantastic results by following some simple ideas and concepts.
Every room will have a different amount of natural light but the way you use other sources will have a tremendous impact on the way a room looks and feels.
The actual fitting of lighting equipment might sometimes need to be done as part of a bigger project, for instance if new wiring needs to be laid into walls and then plastered over. This could be the case if you want to install uplights or downlights that lay flush with floors and ceilings.
New build homes in Cornwall will usually come with everything already in place and many developers work with buyers to make sure their own requirements and specifications are taken into account. However, in any home there is always plenty of scope for using movable lamps and other light fittings by carefully placing them around a room to achieve the effect you have in mind.
Just as lighting can set a mood, the colour of a room will also make a big difference. Dark colours can have dramatic effects while lighter shades and pure white can totally turn around a room that feels small or doesn't have much natural light coming in. Read the rest of this entry »
Organizing The Tools For Your Business Or Home Projects
Organizing the tools for business or home projects is the most important part of doing this kind of work. The organization helps people access their tools more easily, and the best toolboxes are easy to travel with. The best thing to do with these toolboxes is to choose the toolboxes that fit in the place where the user will travel with them most. Shopping in a place like EliteToolboxes.com helps people find what they need.
In The Truck
Most people who work with tools every day need to make sure they can fit their tools in their vehicle. The best toolboxes will fit in the back of a truck, and other toolboxes will fit perfectly in the seat of the vehicle. These toolboxes come with handles that make them easy to carry, and the toolboxes can be set in place quickly before the worker is ready to keep driving.
In The House
Storing tools in the house is the way most people take care of their tools. The best toolboxes are going to fit along the wall in the home workshop, or these same toolboxes will work well when they are arranged inside the garage. The tools that are kept in the house must be organized because they tend to collect over time. The basement or workshop can have several toolboxes that can be used for everything from a screwdriver to a large saw.
Labeling the toolboxes helps people find their tools when they are feverishly trying to work, and the labels can be placed anywhere on the toolbox. The interior of each drawer can labeled for the tools, and the outside of each drawer can be labeled to show what is inside. These labels can be moved if the toolbox is reorganized, and the toolbox can be re-purposed many times over.
The best way for people to organize their tools is to use several toolboxes that they can carry with them wherever they like. The toolboxes can fit in a truck, in the seat of a car or along the walls of a workshop. Each toolbox serves a different purpose, and they should be purchased to meet the needs of the craftsman.
2014 kitchen trends: how to create an ultra-modern kitchen
No longer simply a functional space to prepare meals, modern kitchens are the hub of every home: a place to gather, socialise, share food and show off your style. This year offers a whole host of possibilities when it comes to kitting out your kitchen, and to make sure your decor stays up to date with the latest trends, here are some top tips on how to give your interior a ultra-modern makeover:
Natural materials
2014 is all about the back-to-nature charm. Natural, raw materials are largely becoming the go-to hardware for kitchens this year – chrome, stainless steel and granite is out, wood is in. Brickwork, wooden worktops, exposed floorboards and industrial-style pendant lights have all been making frequent appearances in this year's interior design trends.
Using natural wood as the running theme can create an industrial charm with heaps of character. To bring the rustic look to the forefront of the room, opt for chunky wooden worktops with character features, including visible grains and unique colour variation. To find out how you can make use of natural elements and achieve an authentic look, sites such as Worktop Express offer a extensive range of unique, sustainable countertops.
Worktop zones
Today, kitchens surfaces are used for far more than just food preparation. One of 2014's latest trends is worktop sectioning, where a variety of different zones are created using contrasting materials, depths and colours.
This trend works best in open plan rooms with an island, and can be used to create mini work stations, homework spaces or breakfast bars that are separate from the main cooking area. Hanging a low pendant light above the zone can also help to create a sense of intimacy around the space.
Not only does this trend add variety to the room, it also offers a practical solution for busy households by providing a multi-functional space for families to carry out separate tasks whilst still being able to engage with one another. Read the rest of this entry »
How Intercom Systems can Improve Your Home Security
When you think of intercom systems, you may think of how they are used in business. A scene like something out of Mad Men may pop into your mind, with a business man paging his secretary to ask for coffee or to send in his next meeting.
You may not think of intercom systems for homes unless you are thinking about large estates or mansions. However, intercom systems can be used to improve the security of any suburban home. Here's how:
Eliminates the Need to Open the Door
When someone knocks on your door, you may have to open the door to see who it is. You may not have an eye hole or a window nearby that allows you to see. If you just open the door, you could also open yourself up to danger. While you can yell through the door to ask who it is or what they want, it can be difficult to communicate that way.
Using an intercom can help you find out who's at the door without having to open it. If you don't know who it is, you can keep the door closed and keep your home secure.
Makes Another Entry Way Possible
One way to improve the security of your home is to create a second entry way. These are common in large cities, but not so much in suburban areas. The first door opens up to a small foyer, and then a second door is there that leads to inside the house.
An intercom system allows you to answer the front door to determine who to let through to the second entrance. Without the intercom, this second entry way would be ineffective. You'd have to walk through one door to answer the other one, reducing the security protection.
Allows You to Conduct Business From a Distance
You can keep your home the safest by never allowing strangers to enter it. An intercom allows you to conduct business from a distance, such as communicating details about your cable line or your water meter. You can have the conversation you need while keeping yourself safe inside.
Unfortunately, many thieves and other criminals dress up like service professionals, so this kind of caution is necessary.
Intercom systems can help individuals increase the safety of their homes. Consider the benefits of installing a system in your home.
Why the kitchen is the heart of the home
It's often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and it's not hard to see why. As well as serving as food preparation areas, they can be living spaces, dining rooms, play areas and even home offices, often all in the space of a single day.
Here are some of the reasons why we attach so much significance to our kitchens.
The importance of meals
There is something deeply human about sharing a meal with people. Of course, we all need to eat, but sitting down to food with loved ones is about much more than simply filling up. Over a tasty meal, people can catch up on each others' news and generally put the world to rights.
Even if people don't eat in their kitchens, they prepare their meals in these rooms and this means they can quickly form emotional attachments to the spaces.
An organisational hub
Kitchens can also serve as organisational hubs. It's common for people to place notice boards on the walls and stick messages to the fridge in these rooms, and they are a favourite spot for household calendars. This means that when people need to know what's going on, they often head straight to their kitchens. These spaces also tend to be where people open and read their mail.
All those memories
Because so much goes on in kitchens, many memories are made in these rooms. From fantastic meals and tender chats to children's tantrums and disputes over the housework, these spaces are the setting for a host of memorable occasions.
Giving warmth and character to your kitchen
If you feel a deep emotional tie to your kitchen and you want to reflect this in the design of the room, it's important to plan it carefully. Ideally, this part of your home should exude warmth and character. To help you achieve this, it can pay off to use plenty of solid wood. The natural beauty of this material makes it perfect for these rooms, and it is highly practical too.
Firms such as Solid Wood Kitchen Cabinets offer an impressive selection of attractive and robust units that can look superb in any kitchen. You can take your pick from cabinets in a range of shapes, sizes and styles, and if you're after products that will help you to make the very most of the available space, check out the full height and corner versions on offer. Meanwhile, if you're keen to introduce some colour into the room, you can opt for painted doors. On the other hand, perhaps you would prefer the appearance of timber in its natural form.
No kitchen is complete without plenty of surface space too, and to complement the look of the room, it's well worth considering the solid wood worktops now available. As long as you look after them, these products can last for many years and their charm only increases as time goes by.
Making the most of the space with a seating area
If you have the space in your kitchen, try to include a good seating area so that you can eat, drink and generally unwind in the room. One option is to incorporate an island unit complete with a solid wood worktop. This will provide you with extra surface space to work on and it can also double up as a breakfast bar and dining table.
If you're lacking the space to do this, it's worth considering folding tables instead. These pieces of furniture can be stored neatly out of the way when you're not using them and extended when it's time to eat.
There's no doubt that the kitchen remains the heart of the home, and by getting the design of this room spot on, you can ensure you get maximum pleasure and use out of it.
Keys to wash the curtains
The curtains are a constituent that saw many a home and also gives a number of privacy to its inhabitants. They are many and various tissues that create up a curtain. So much so that when washing doubts may arise about what the process is more suitable for cleaning. Here are some instructions.
Look at the label
The first thing to do when we have to wash fabric first is to look for the label to know what indications given by the manufacturer to perform the task without damaging the tissue. The label usually indicates what materials are complete curtains, if you can machine wash or otherwise should be washed by hand or washing temperature which have to have water.
There is also the possibility that it is a very special material and need professional help to wash the curtains, but usually not happen very often. Read the rest of this entry »

Vuvuzela owned by Elgato EyeTV filter
The first World Cup 2010 game I had watched was different. It wasn't the broadcast picture, although I was hoping for an NFL quality feed. It was a humming background noise that slowly grew my agitation. I later found it to be a "traditional" instrument of the South African's known as the Vuvuzela. This little $3 horn caused not only grief to me, but the players on the field who had to endure its humming harmonic resonance for no less then 90 minutes per match. I said during the match, "cant the audio technicians over there filter out that frequency?" Well, they probably can, but won't because of the Fifa President's official message sent out on twitter "I don't see banning the music traditions of fans in their own country."Read More »

Aw, babe, I'm sorry you're having trouble at school! It's
hard to keep slogging through a class when you feel like you never improve…or
even live up to your teacher's expectations. I've got a few tips in mind that
should help smooth out your sitch.
Step back from the situation
Getting endless B's when you think you're delivering A+
work, or constantly receiving demerits for your behavior is enough to make a
chica mad, right? Simmer down there, sweetie! It's difficult to look at a
sticky situation like this with a clear mind when your temper is boiling over.
Instead of arguing, accept the corrections and cool off. When you're calm and
collected, consider how you could improve. Is your spelling the pits? Do you
really need to giggle during silent reading? Take stock, and if you can find
areas for improvement, improve yourself!
Correct your behavior
Being obstinate will get ya nowhere, especially when your
Teach is the one in charge. While normal you might be too stubborn to accept
Mrs. Smith's strict rules, smart you will commit them to memory and toe the
line. Need some advice? Stay after class (or schedule a meeting after school)
to see what you can do better. Your teacher will appreciate your initiative.
Talk to your guidance counselor
If you're doing everything right and still not getting
ahead, it might be time to take your concerns to an adult who is paid to hear
you out. Be ready to specifically answer questions about the situation, like
what your teacher is doing and what steps you've already taken to fix the
sitch. Your counselor should have some pointers, and might be able to intervene
if the scenario really is out of control.
Call in Mom and Dad
Feel like your shouting to deaf ears? Sit Mom and Dad down
when they both have a free minute (or ten), and lay out your cards. Tell them
everything you've done to do better in class and what proof you have that your
teacher is really, truly out to get you. Ask them to schedule a meeting with
your teacher and your guidance counselor to work out the kinks.

Emergency Dispatch Bill Could Force Local Centers To Regionalize Or PayThursday, May 21, 2015 at 8:31 am
It appears while a Connecticut State Police pilot program attempting to regionalize related dispatching operations is being scrapped (see related story, "State Police Call-Taking/Dispatching To Return To Southbury"), a legislative effort to force communities like Newtown to regionalize emergency communications systems is still very much alive.

How to diversify your board — and it's not just about race and gender
How to reflect America's changing demographics at the top
• Incest is not the best. The simplest explanation is the best. One reason a board may have trouble recruiting diverse talents is because the board members reach out to people they know to join the board. That can cause other problems, too: It's a little tough to vote against someone who's your friend and then go out to dinner together.
"Incestuous is what you call it," Gilley said. "Let's call it what it is. You don't want an incestuous group. Neither do you want an incestuous management team."
• Get with the goal. One way to help diversify a company's upper echelons is to make it a priority by setting goals, not quotas, that match the local demographics. "If you look at the diversity in your marketplace, you want to emulate that, to strive for diversity in your leadership team at all levels," Gilley said. "It takes an active, conscious effort from the top for that to happen. Many opportunities will come and go if you don't have that as a goal."
• Deepen the pool. When a company has an opening at the top, the best thing to do is broaden your search. "In government and business, the first and best tactic is to adopt a wide pool of applicants," said Chapin.
• Resources are available. There are organizations more than willing to help you find diverse talent, such as chambers of commerce, membership associations and the like. "Most of the national organizations have local chapters," said Vernice Atkins-Bradley, president and CEO of Votum Construction LLC.
• Data, data, data. There's an old saying: What gets measured gets done.
"If you set an accountability measure within your organization, you have something you want to achieve," Atkins-Bradley said. "Otherwise you get the talk that isn't backed up by action."

The quality and texture of the card stock was very nice. I look forward to working with WeddingPaperDivas again on the invites!"

"Fell in love all over again! Our save the dates came out perfect. Perfect quality, services, & pricing! Would definitely recommend to everyone!"
"I had my eye on this card for a long time and was so excited when I received the final product. The cards arrived quickly and looked fabulous! The quality of the paper, the printing - everything was great. The customer service was great too. When I designed our card, I had two questions for the designer. One was about the text (I wanted to move a line further down) and another was an etiquette question. The designer not only fixed the line of text, but responded to my other question within a day! Needless to say, I highly recommend this design."

LG Model LRG30855ST Gas Range
This sophisticated model was surprisingly easy to use without consulting the manual. Among its features are a central warming burner (similar to the ones on electric ranges) and an included temperature probe. Baking performance was much better when the convection setting was used rather than the regular mode. After running a self-clean cycle, we had virtually no hand touchups to do. One caveat: The customer service hotline was particularly poor at doling out advice when asked basic questions about convection and self-cleaning. us.lge.com.

Journal Broadcast Group has selected TANDBERG Television HD and SD MPEG-2 encoders as an over-the-air ATSC broadcasting solution.
TANDBERG Television's MPEG-2 encoding systems offer ATSC broadcasters newly expanded solutions for the digital transition, including active format description (AFD) signaling capabilities for downstream analog conversion.
KTNV in Las Vegas, the first of Journal Broadcast Group's stations to use the encoders, has selected a multi-pass statistical multiplexing solution, which increases the bandwidth efficiency when simultaneously broadcasting multiple streams of HD and SD.
KTNV will broadcast one HD and two SD channels in MPEG-2. Compared to a standard statistical multiplex system, TANDBERG Television's multi-pass system frees as much as 10 percent of the 19.39Mb/s ATSC allocated bandwidth for other uses.

Six male subjects made maximal isometric plantar flexions unilaterally (UL) and bilaterally (BL), with the knee joint angle positioned at 90° and 0° (full extension) and the ankle joint kept at 90°. Plantar flexion torque and electromyogram (EMG) of the lateral gastrocnemius (LG) and the soleus (Sol) muscles were recorded. There was a deficit in torque in BL compared to UL (P<0.05), and the deficit was greater when the knee was extended than when bent to 90° (13.9% vs 6.6%). The integrated EMG (iEMG) of UL and BL did not differ when the knee was at 90°. On the other hand, when the knee was extended iEMG of LG was smaller for BL than for UL, suggesting that the larger bilateral deficit when the knee was extended was due to a reduced activity of the LG motor units. In addition, the H-reflex recorded from Sol when the contralateral leg was performing a maximal unilateral plantarflexion was reduced. This would indicate that the force deficit was associated with a reduction of motoneuron excitability.
