Dear Angie: How important is it to repair plaster before repainting? Our ceilings have peeling paint that we're pretty sure was caused by past water damage. Since the water problem is no longer an issue, can we simply repaint the ceilings or should we first repair any underlying plaster damage? – Sara S., Elgin, Illinois

For larger projects, especially those that may involve more than three different service providers, a general contractor to oversee your project may be required.
Just as consumers don't like it when they call for help and don't get a return call, companies don't like it when they invest a lot of time to provide an estimate and never hear that their bid hasn't been accepted.
Don't tackle a DIY home repair without asking yourself these three questions.
Angie's Answers
I've used wall liner (it applies like wallpaper only thicker) to cover a multitude of "wall sins" over the years. In my opinion it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. It doesn't look cheap or tacky, it's inexpensive, non-labor intensive and not messy to install.
I used it for the first time about 15 years ago to cover a faux brick tile on my lower kitchen walls that couldn't be removed. It was either tear the wall down or take a chance on $40 worth of wall liner. It did the job beautifully and lasted. Since then I've used it to cover paneling, a badly gouged wall after a kitchen remodel and a wall that looked like a pegboard after floor to ceiling shelving was removed.
Friends and family (and realtors!) have been amazed by the transformation after applying this simple inexpensive product.
Remember, you not only have to remove the popcorn texture, but also redo the ceiling in some other texture.
Price will depend on several factors:
1) how much the contractor you choose hates removing popcorn or textured ceilings - some charge $1 or so/SF extra just because they hate it. There are even some who bid total drywall replacement cheaper than removing the popcorn, so you have to first find contractors who are happy to do that work, or your prices will be out of the realistic range
2) if the popcorn predates about 1990, then it could likely have asbestos in it, which doubles or triples the price, and in many cases uncapsulating it with a spray coating and then removing the drywall entirely is actually cheaper than all the protective measures necessary if it is scraped off.
3) whether the popcorn is primarily gypsum and vermiculite (comes off REAL easy) or was the plaster of paris variety, which takes a fair amount of soaking to soften it enough to scrape off
4) what type of finish you are replacing it with - if a textured ceiling, slapcoat, knockdown finish or paneling, not real problem. If you want to go with a perfectly smooth ceiling (generally a bad idea as any variations in the drywall on a ceiling surface really shows up dramatically), then it will demand a lot of care in preparing the scraped surface, and a complete surface drywall compound skim coat to smooth out the scrapes and gouges from the removal process.
5) what underlying conditions are - if there is a lot of furniture to move around (should go to adjacent rooms) or cover and work around, high-quality rug or hardwood floor to super-protect or such, will drive cost up.
I have seen costs run from as low as $0.60/SF to $1.25/SF (for removal only). Generally, remove and recoat with a surface texture of some kind (anything but smooth) and paint will run you about $2.50-3.50/SF.
Now the bad news - if asbestos containing, can run from $5-10/SF. Many homeowners in that situation go the other legal route - have it encapsulated with an asbestos-rated sealant by an asbestos contractor, then paint it and leave it for the next homeowner to decide what to do about it. Some contractors encapsulate it and then put a 1/4" thick drywall layer over it - this usually looks like a disaster unless it has a VERY rough textured finish on it, because putting drywall sheet over a rough surface like popcorn invariably means a wavy surface commonly looks like a gently rolling ocean surface.

I contacted many
I also plan to hire him for tile installation in one bathroom and perhaps for new quarter-round trim in some places where it is needed, but that work isn't done. The tile is scheduled to be done in about a week. It will be 70 square foot in the bathtub/shower and 85 square foot on the floor with the required cement board installation for $1200 after I supply the tile. I hope that job will go as well as his
We were living in Illinois while coordinating renovations on our new house in Maryland (we bought my parents' old house, my parents were still living there). They were very responsive to emails and phone calls throughout the process.
The paint job was perfect!
The carpeting on the 2nd level was good too, except for a slight bump on the very top step that wasn't there before.
The hardwood floors were refinished and stained to the exact color we wanted, although the flooring contractors were harder to work with. They delayed the job by a day or two with last minute notice. Due to the smell of the staining, we had already arranged for my parents to stay at a hotel during the flooring work, so we had to extend their stay at the hotel which was an added cost on our part.
The hardest part to plan without physically being there was how to remodel the kitchen. But
There were a few small issues that we've come across. We asked them to fix spots on the floor on the 2nd level that were squeaky before laying down the new carpet but it seems that it wasn't done because the same spots are still squeaky. There's a bump on the top step of the stairs that wasn't there before the new carpeting. One cabinet drawer and one cabinet door in our kitchen broke already, but I think that's just due to the quality of the Home Depot cabinets. One GFCI outlet was placed in a spot that didn't need it (on the side of the island), and they didn't put a GFCI outlet in a place that actually needed it (by the sink). A few tiles on the kitchen floor aren't as flat as the other tiles but it's not enough of a difference to cause a problem.
During the renovations, we moved in while my parents still lived at the house so we had double the amount of furniture. L&G were so accommodating in moving all that furniture back and forth between different rooms as their worked on each section of the house. I was really grateful for their willingness to accommodate our moving situation. It really eased my mind when they would keep telling me "don't worry, we will take care of it" when it came to things like that which didn't really have to do with the renovations. I just felt bad that it was extra work for them.
Communication with us and also between the contractors could have been better, but it didn't cause problems as far as the work was concerned. Attention to detail could have been a little better too, the small issues listed above could have easily been avoided and made the job go from good to great. But all in all, they were good to work with, punctual, friendly, and very reasonably priced compared to other quotes that we received. We would definitely use them again for future work on our house!
On Thursday, June 25, I sent him a follow up message. He replied via email on June 30, with the following response: "Out of town till Wednesday of next week. I'll call you when I'm back."
1.) They used my water and electricity without even asking. While I didn't really mind it, I did tell
2.) When his crew used the electricity, they unplugged the electric source to my decorator lights in the front yard, and didn't bother to reconnect the power. I found out about it when I looked out my window after dark the first day, and saw no lights on. I spent quite a while trying to resolve the problem before I saw the power source had been disconnected.
3.) Someone in his crew broke a filing cabinet while moving it to my garage and did not bother telling me. I know they knew they had broken it, because a 3 x 3 inch piece of the wood was actually missing - meaning someone picked it up and discarded it. Although he was aware something was wrong with the cabinet, he did not check it out before he left. I thought one of the rolling wheels was simply dislodged and that I could put it back in place. I was wrong; I had to remove the files from it and throw it out in the trash.
4.) Someone in his crew put a
5.) A technique the owner uses to make a clean line between the ceiling and walls - which I OK'd in advance - left a bigger problem that what I was warned of. The technique causes a 4-6 inch white marking on the upper walls, which obviously requires repainting the walls; I agreed because I was planning to repaint them anyway. But, it also left indentations in the wall surfaces that will all have to be spackled/repaired. While the owner did try to repair some of them, he left many unrepaired.
6.) There is texture on the back of at least two of my doors that apparently his crew dripped on them, despite the plastic they had covering most everything. No attempt was made to clean it up, and I know they would have noticed it when they removed all the plastic. Once again, no one bothered to tell me. I don't even know if I can remove it from the surfaces without ruining the doors.
7.) Despite the plastic they used as covering, and the fact that they used a vacuum to clean the floors, when they were done, the floors - and any furniture that was left in the house and covered with that plastic - were all covered in dust and pieces of popcorn, as well as clumps of the new texture. I didn't expect it to be 100% clean afterward, but I am still finding debris in nooks and crannies, inside door frames, etc. each and every time I clean.
8.) Lastly, the owner promised to do a 'walk through' after the job was done, but did not follow through. I walked through while he was trying to repair the indentations in the walls, but figured that we would go back through together when he was done - when I had his full attention. That did not happen. The owner knows about some of these issues, but not all. If he would have ever contacted me about looking at the lines in the ceiling, I planned on sharing the rest with him - if for no reason other than to afford him the opportunity to be aware of the quality of his crew's workmanship. As of this time, he has not given me that

Want to "hiss" about your recent experience at the airport or complain about your overcast vacation without losing followers? Look no further.
In response to a recent study that found being overly negative in your tweets as the second most harmful factor in growing an army of Twitter followers, Twitter has announced a new service for all of those not-so-happy tweets: HisSr.
Now if you're in a particularly poor mood or you just HAVE to make your bad experience known, don't throw a hissy fit, just use HisSr. All of the same rules apply: 140-characters, shortened links, etc.
Aside from the content of the tweets/his$es, one of the other main differences will be the standard colors of your profile (rather than the refreshing blue, His$r will be predominantly black). You'll also be able to create a new alias, so that instead of "@Nancy," you might name yourself "@Negative_Nancy." Even cooler – get used to the "$" to group your dislikes instead of the traditional "#" hashtag.
But what are the implications of a service like this? Remember a little over a year ago when there was speculation about the addition of a "dislike" button on Facebook? Though it turned out to be just a scam, maybe we'll see a "deFacebook" soon?
Personally, I try to be as positive as I can be on Twitter – it's just more refreshing that way. There are definitely occasions when I really want to let a certain brand know just how much they've messed up. But, usually I keep my negative thoughts to myself, in favor of keeping my followers happy as well. I may or may not create a His$r account, but I'll definitely check it out when it launches next week.
…April Fools!
Nope, Twitter won't be introducing any "negative tweet only" service…at least not any time soon!
How will you celebrate April Fools' Day?

Know Your Limit While Betting on Casino Games
Gambling is entertaining and really thrilling at times. Gamblers need to be cautious about how much they are going to spend in the casino in a particular time period and for which game specifically. Betting casino can be dangerous for the gambler both financially and mentally. There are strict regulations for gambling in many states, all this just to prevent excessive gambling in the state by their crazy citizens. The amount one earns from betting casino and other types of gambling are liable for taxation. Thus whatever you will be earning in the betting casino procedure you will have to pay taxes for that too. It's not all your luck always. It is a game, and that too a risky one, so the credit for being terrific in your guesses would be shared by the government. This is the worst thing which gamblers hate about gambling.…

Let's end predatory lending to plaintiffs
CORPUS CHRISTI - Need money fast? Here's some news: Traditional loan sharks and pawnbrokers aren't the only groups looking to lure cash-strapped citizens into a loan with an unconscionable repayment agreement. If you are a plaintiff in a lawsuit in Texas, perform an Internet search and you'll find no shortage of lawsuit lenders online willing to give you "quick and easy" cash within 24 to 48 hours.
But nothing is "quick and easy." Frequently these lawsuit loans end up costing consumers nearly 100 percent of the loan in compounding interest and hidden fees over the course of a year. And, that's if you are one of the lucky ones. Interest and fees on lawsuit loans have been documented to be as high as 150 percent annually in some cases.
And all too frequently for unsuspecting consumers awaiting settlements, these loans can far exceed any expected awarded judgment — and demand a quick repayment.
Unfortunately, this type of predatory lending has become more commonplace, which is bad for consumers. These are not "no risk" loans as frequently advertised and, further, the practice puts a third party square into a legal proceeding when their only interest is the financial outcome, not justice.
Another concern is that these predatory lending practices may encourage litigation and discourage some settlements — both of which impact consumers and employers. While Texas continues to create jobs and lead our country's economy, we should continue to support policies that ensure our courts are used for justice, not greed.
Bay Area Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse has been working for more than a decade to educate Texans about the cost and consequences of lawsuit abuses.
And just like barratry, advertising scare tactics and class-action litigation, lawsuit lending is another practice that preys upon consumers when they are at their most vulnerable — and often at the expense of small business owners and their employees.
So what protections exist for consumers who have succumbed to the predatory practices of lawsuit lenders?
Regrettably, not many. Lawsuit lenders, aka lawsuit loan sharks, continue to convince regulators that their industry should not be subjected to state regulations, such as usury limits on interest rates which protect borrowers. By calling transactions investments rather than what they are — predatory loans — companies have been able to skirt state laws for years.
This should change, and there's hope this session that it will.
Legislation filed this session and supported by a broad cross-section of consumer, business and legal community leaders, will ensure that these unregulated lenders face the same proper disclosures and regulations as conventional lenders. It is imperative that reforms are put in place to properly safeguard consumers by enacting laws to prevent and prosecute predatory lending practices.
On this issue, businesses, consumer advocates, CALA and even many trial lawyers can all agree — it's time to take the bite out of lawsuit loan-sharking.

Rumors that Kanye West and Selita Ebanks were knocking boots began to surface as far back as 2008. But People ran an article quoting an inside source claiming the two were "just friends." That is definitely possible. Because, you know, there's a lot of rappers with over-sized egos and libidos who are "just friends" with gorgeous Victoria's Secret models.
The rumors died during the Amber Rose era and then resurfaced recently when the two were photographed sitting next to each other at the U.S. Open. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, we weren't 100% convinced that Kanye and Selita were an official couple. But this picture of the two at the New Yorkers For Children Fall Gala last night changes everything. It's their official coming out portrait. Their body language and facial expressions are calling out in unison, "Yeah that's right we're totally together and madly in love and we don't care what you think so suck it."
This time around, allow us to jump straight to a major conclusion: Kanye and Selita are going to get married and they're going to make babies, soon. And we're not basing our theory on one picture alone. Said Kanye last month to Rap-Up: "I'm not trying to dive into anything unless I really, really think that I can marry this person. I look at this person and I say, 'This is how I want my daughter to be.'" Hmmm. Who in the world could he be referring to?

Andy Schlafly Strikes Again: Einstein's Theory of Relativity a Liberal Conspiracy
Categories: Media, Politics, Science & Technology
|Image source
|Einstein tells the world what he thinks of Andy Schlafly
Now his Don Quixote-like crusade against the vast liberal conspiracy is grabbing headlines once again. This time around, Schlafly is taking on Albert Einstein.
The local scion is under fire for an entry on his website about the famed physicist's Theory of Relativity, better known as the equation E=mc².
Schlafly writes that the theory, "is heavily promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to mislead people in how they view the world."
|Image via conservapedia.com
|Andy Schlafly
If you're behind on your physics, the Theory of Relativity was Albert Einstein's formulation in the early 20th century that gave rise to the famous theorum that E=mc2, otherwise stated as energy is equal to mass times the square of the speed of light. Why does Andy Schlafly hate the theory of relativity? We're pretty sure it's because he's decided it doesn't square with the Bible.TPM goes on to dig through the "citations" used by Schlafly in his entry, rightly pointing out that they refer back to his own writings and warped interpretation of the scripture. Read the whole sad/hilarious entry by clicking here.
Schlafly, a Saint Louis Priory School alum, now makes his home in New Jersey. He works as a private home school teacher and has no affiliation with Saint Louis Brewery, the makers of Schlafly beer.
Schlafly is actually a well-educated guy -- he holds degrees from Princeton and Harvard Law -- but obviously he's no Einstein.

Place Brussels Sprouts into deep fryer and cook for 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove the sprouts from the deep fryer and shake to remove all excess oil. Place into a small bowl, adding capers, lemon juice, grated Parmesan, chilli flakes and salt. Toss together, plate and serve immediately.
(Serves 4)
These are the perfect accompaniment for any holiday dinner! Enjoy!

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Your Brussels sprouts are out of this world! I live in Prince George so I don't get to come to the Italian Kitchen nearly as often as I'd like but at least I can enjoy your sprouts. Cheers!
Thank you for revealing the recipe! Your restaurant is quickly becoming our favourite night out! The brussels sprouts are my favourite item on the menu, but of course we end up with Carrpachio and steak as well! Wonderful menu and atmosphere, well done!

Action group steps up fight over Westbridge Park
Posted: October 28, 2012|
RESIDENTS concerned about the future of a popular Stone park are being urged to attend a public meeting next month.
Stafford Borough Council representatives are set to give a presentation on the Plan for Stafford Borough, which includes proposals for a "mixed use development" at Westbridge Park, at Alleyne's High School's theatre on November 20. The meeting at the Oulton Road school will start at 7pm.
The presentation will be part of a Stone Town Council general purposes committee meeting.
Usually meetings of this type are held in the council chamber, but next month's meeting will be held in a venue with more public space.
The proposals for Westbridge Park, revealed in the Newsletter last month, have sparked strong feelings in Stone and the surrounding areas.
A petition to "keep Westbridge Park green" has now netted almost 2,500 signatures, both online in an e-petition to Stafford Borough Council and in paper copies available throughout Stone town centre.
Town councillor Rob Kenney, who launched the e-petition, said: "It seems that the petition and a mention of us holding our own public meeting has forced the hand of Stafford Borough Council to give a presentation regarding the Plan for Stafford Borough - the very same document that includes the statement 'provision of mixed use development at Westbridge Park'.
"As many members of the public as possible should attend the meeting. The fact that the meeting is being held at Alleyne's means they are expecting a large turn-out.
"From reading between the lines Stafford Borough wants to extend the leisure facility and enhance playground facilities on the same side of Westbridge Park as the existing gym.
"This is the 'sweetener' for the building of a supermarket on the other side of the road.
"They say that there would be enough room left for events to still take place. Whilst some people would like to see an enhanced leisure facility and playground, they would not welcome a supermarket.
"We have now started to set up an action group and already have people with legal expertise on board.
"We are looking for local people with expertise in planning and other relevant fields to help form the group and we also need written representation from local groups and people who use Westbridge Park."
Stafford Borough Council leaders have stressed there was never any intention to build homes on Westbridge Park and have vowed to let residents and businesses have their say on any future development on the site through a full consultation.

La casa Del Mofongo Is a Restaurant that serves great Food. The Food is Delicious! I have been there more than enough times and Every time the food is Wonderful. Unfortunately the service is not good. The Waiters/Waitress always take too long to approach your table and to take your order. Also waiting for the food is an eternity. Even when you call the waitstaff to your table you have to wait 5-10 min for them to finally approach you. Also if you are looking for a quiet place do not come to this restaurant because the music is always loud to the max... And they tend to have live shows as well. Last but not least the food can be a bit pricey considering that you are in 183rd and st Nicholas and that you are paying for regular Dominican food that you can get for a cheaper price and the same taste at any other Restaurant in Washington Heights. Ohh And I almost forget about the drinks....They are horrible. Thanks

The atmosphere at this place can be extremely loud so it might be a bit overwhelming. The staff is not friendly and come across as they dont want to help you with the order. But The food is great especially the mofongos. The soups, the salcocho and oxtail. Can't comment on the rest. Price is great for the value of the food. They do Delivery which is quite fast. overall great food!
Posted by Washington Heights on 10/27/2009
I've been to this place quite a few times and the food is always served fast, delicious and hot. I don't know where some people are used to eating out, or why they don't know how to tip, but $200 for 6 people is CHEAP, and a $20 tip for that bill is HORRIBLE. They should have been expecting to pay more than $200 for 6 ppl and they should learn that 20% is the proper and educated way to tip. Go to Mofongo House, you'll love it.

My father invited us out to eat so I recommended la casa del mofongo we love mofongo I'm Dominican born & race so we went food was great the portions on the plate was fare where i had a problem was it was only 6 of us and the bill came out to be just about $200 + $20 tip it's a graet place will go again but i'll make sure I have my pocket ready they should go over there prices I mean it's just platanos main ingridient I know but I'll go again i loved it the family too so we specting another $200 bill...

I was trying to get delivery and my total was $ 9.75 so for .25 they wouldn't deliver. They wanted me to order something else in order to get it delivered. Horrible! I order and go there all the time...not anymore.
Posted by Latina on 09/25/2009
After eating this mofongo I'm officially a mofongera! I will be eating here again. The service was not bad, we were seated right away and was served quickly. I had the Shrimp mofongo and my friend had the Pernil both were very good. The atmosphere was nice but a bit loud the restaurant was packed and the bar area was crowded . Would suggest arriving.
Posted by Samantha on 09/16/2009
I"ve been to this place a couple of times and the food is great...Its never been the case that I didnt like it.The waiters are OK, but the food and ambiance overides that. The waiting time can become long, but its worth the wait. the mofongos are dellicious and the sauce is great.

Have you ever met someone and known instantly that you were soul mates? I'm not speaking in terms of the Nicholas Sparks type of rain-drenched, starry-eyed soul mate, I mean someone you meet and immediately think, "Wow, you're one of my people."
When I was a mission worker in Belfast, Northern Ireland, there was a family whom I instantly knew to be my soul mates: my folk, my people. They're called the Blakes. Every single week, the Blakes fed me delicious food. You see, my soul and my stomach are closely related. I would arrive on a (perpetually cold, rainy) Friday evening and collapse on their couch after helping with a children's after school program and their golden retriever, with the slightly obvious name of Goldie, would come and sit by me. I would stay in that position until my stomach was awoken by the delightful smells wafting from their colorful, teeny Irish kitchen and I would follow it until I was stirring, chopping and, oh yes, tasting.
These soul mates of mine would feed me every single Friday so that I could then walk the couple of blocks to the church for evening youth programs. They fed me with sarcastic, witty banter. They fed me with company and warmth on a dank, dark night. And they fed me with heaping plates of the most glorious, inventive food I'd ever tasted.
Today, in honor of St. Patrick's Day's imminent arrival, I share with you my favorite meal made by my Northern Irish soul mates: bubble and squeak. The bubble is from golden brown melted cheddar on top; the squeak is from bacon used in the base of this whimsical cousin of shepherd's pie. Last week's recipe was for one; today's recipe just begs to be shared with whomever you call "your people."
Bubble and Squeak
Serves 6 hungry Irishmen/women
1/2 lb. bacon, chopped
2 T olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 head savoy cabbage, thinly sliced (savoy cabbage is more "crinkly" - technical term - than regular green cabbage and has a better texture)
4 carrots, sliced lengthwise in half and then chopped
10 cremini (baby portabella) mushrooms, chopped
3 cloves garlic, whole
4 potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
1/3 c. dry red wine
4 T butter
1/2 c. whole milk
1/4 c. cream cheese
1-1/2 c. grated white cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
parsley, for garnish
Place potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot, cover with water and bring to boil, covered. Boil until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain and then return to the hot pot and leave on heat for a minute to evaporate excess liquid. Put butter and milk in a glass measuring cup and microwave, until butter is melted, about 30 seconds. Mash potatoes and garlic, adding in the butter and milk until smooth and creamy. Add cream cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a dutch oven on medium heat with olive oil. Add bacon and onions, cooking until bacon is crisp and onions are translucent. Add carrots and cook an additional 5 minutes. Add cabbage, mushrooms and garlic and cook for 5 more minutes. Add red wine and scrape up all of the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 t. pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce. The longer you cook this, the better it tastes. Layer the mashed potatoes on top of the cabbage and bacon mixture and top with grated cheddar cheese. Bake at 400 degrees, until the cheese is brown and bubbly on top, about 15 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Gather your people and enjoy the delicious flavors of a wee bit o' Irish hospitality.

CRESTVIEW — Crestview's newest council members were sworn into office Monday evening by First Judicial Circuit Chief Judge Terry Ketchel.
Crestview natives Joe Blocker, Shannon Hayes and Mickey Rytman were sworn into council seats vacated by outgoing Council President Benjamin Iannucci III — who presided over the ceremony — along with Tim Grandberry and Charles Baugh Jr.
City Clerk Betsy Roy retained her office, to which she had been appointed, and was sworn in with the three council members.
Ketchel was filling in for Judge Michael Flowers, who was ill.
The new council members and Roy were administered the oath of office followed by an Oath of Loyalty as "a recipient of public funds."
Family, friends and former city officials were among attendees.
The new city council will conduct its first meeting at 6 p.m. April 8, with the newly elected members joining incumbents Robyn Helt and Thomas Gordon on the dais.
The new council's president and vice president will be elected then.

It was only a few years ago that the electric vehicle lap record at the Nürburgring didn't mean much to anyone, but the title is now hotly contested. The latest developer of electric propulsion to throw their hat into the ring, at the 'Ring, is Toyota with its TMG EV P001.
The oddly named but beautifully curved electric Toyota set a new record recently with a run of seven minutes, 47.79 seconds. This new record has smashed the previous time, held by Peugeot's EX1 by more than a minute. The EX1 clocked a lap time of 9.01:33 and prior to that the Mini E held the record with a time of 9 minutes 51 seconds. To achieve the feat the TMG EV P001 uses a 100% electric powertrain with a top speed of 260km/h and a huge 800Nm of torque.
Toyota's electric racer record puts it in line with the lap times recorded by petrol-powered hero vehicles like the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Nissan GT-R. But what's the point of it all? Turns out that Toyota wants to sell the powertrain used in the EV P001 from next year. Expect to see the components in passenger vehicles from 2012 which should mean a welcome improvement in performance of Toyota's electric/hybrid offerings. Electric cars might just become exciting after all.
With the rapid advancements in electric vehicle technology, Toyota's 'Ring record won't go unchallenged for long, but Toyota look ready to fight it out.
Check out a video of the whizzing record setting run below and images in the gallery.

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford officially has a runoff opponent: He'll face former Charleston City Councilor Curtis Bostic, who narrowly came in second in last night's GOP primary, in the April 2 contest.
State Sen. Larry Grooms, who came in third place by fewer than 500 votes last night in South Carolina's First Congressional District, conceded second to Bostic in a statement on Wednesday. The state will move forward with a mandatory recount regardless, as is required by state law when two candidates come within one percentage point of each other, but Grooms' decision will allow Bostic to mount a short, two-week campaign as Sanford's official opposition.
"To the possibility of a recount, as I understand it, the state Election Commission will begin an automatic recount as outlined by state law -- and I will be the 'official' third place finisher in the race," Grooms said in the statement. "I wish Gov. Mark Sanford and Curtis Bostic all the best. Like all the candidates and office holders across America, they too will constantly be in my prayers."
Though he lacked the fundraising capability and television presence of many of the other fifteen contenders for the runoff slot, Bostic ran a superior get-out-the-vote campaign, building off of his popularity in the district's evangelical and home-school communities. The attorney has hosted a radio show on several Christian stations in the Charleston area for over fifteen years and is a prominent donor to home-schooling groups.
His campaign ran an operation they called Priority One, according to manager David O'Connell, in which they reached out to individual church members and asked them to encourage a friend to support Bostic -- and pass that contact information back to the campaign. Bostic's volunteers then reached out again to those potential supporters and encouraged them to get out and vote for the former county councilor.
Bostic's influence with religious groups sets up an interesting contrast with Sanford, who focused heavily on fiscal issues in Congress, as governor and in the campaign. It could also help him draw additional supporters upset by Sanford's infidelity. Bostic is also a former Marine and has played up that fact to appeal to the district's sizeable military population.
Still, Sanford outpaced Bostic by more than 12,600 votes in last night's primary, or slightly less than half Bostic's overall vote share. If he can get those voters to back him again in the runoff -- not a minor consideration given that voters will have to return to the polls in just two weeks' time -- he'll have a huge advantage over Bostic. Whether that will be accompanied by a financial advantage as well will be answered later this week, as pre-runoff disclosures are due to the Federal Election Commission by midnight tomorrow night. Sanford raised nearly twice as much money as Bostic did in the last reporting period, which ran from January 1 to February 27.
Bostic could also gain votes from the supporters of the other primary candidates, though several Republican operatives in the state told Hotline On Call that those voters could just as likely sit out the runoff entirely. At least one of those candidates, Charleston County school board member Elizabeth Moffly, has already endorsed Sanford.
The winner of the runoff will face Democratic nominee Elizabeth Colbert Busch on May 7.

The Ties That Bind
Embracing Susquehanna for a Lifetime
Page 3
How colleges and universities think about their alumni is evolving. Gone are the days when the alumni magazine was the sole source of fresh news about the college and its graduates. Today we can get news to you via the website or SUBridge, the online alumni community with more than 7,500 subscribers. E-mail, Facebook and Twitter provide updates about events and upcoming programs.
Now opportunities for connection are seen as broader and ideally enduring. A 2004 study, titled "The Scenes of Their Youthful Studies: The Next Era in Alumni Relations at the University of Virginia," recommended:
… a new kind of University-alumni partnership that will continue to educate alumni well beyond their time on Grounds, will enable the University to tap into alumni skills and expertise, will provide a greater sense of community among alumni, and will make all alumni aware that they are critical stakeholders in their university's future.
Recognized as a leader in this model of wider alumni engagement and connections, Stanford University reinvented itself in the late 1990s around more systematic relationship investment in its graduates. Over a five-year period ending in 2003, Stanford saw dramatic increases in all its benchmark comparison categories:
- An increase, from 59 percent in 1998 to 72 percent in 2002, in alumni who rated service(s) provided via the alumni program(s) as excellent or good; and
- An increase, from 37 percent to 55 percent over the same period, in alumni grading Stanford as good to excellent in providing attractive ways to volunteer.
Susquehanna's Alumni Association Executive Board also has embraced this approach and since 2007 has been building structure around key activities to draw in more alumni through (1) development of regional chapter programs (seven now in existence); (2) more robust career and professional links between alumni and students, including Alumni Connect; and (3) improved communications featuring the SUBridge online alumni community. The alumni board has also promoted non-class-based connections around common SU activities and affinities through the emergent Spring Fling Weekend, which, for example, attracted 125 former and current students and colleagues of Professor of Physics Fred Grosse to campus to celebrate his 50th anniversary teaching at Susquehanna.
"Everybody wins if it's working well," says Jeff Morgan '82, president of the SU Alumni Association and chief executive officer of the National Investor Relations Institute, a 4,300-member professional organization with 33 regional chapters across the United States. "Each Susquehanna alum has something of value to offer, and the university has a lot to offer to us. As we continue to develop the outlets and opportunities for connecting, we'll all be better served, whether we're 22 years old or 90."
"Susquehanna for a lifetime" is becoming a curriculum of sorts for students during their four years at SU. Since 2007, faculty, coaches, staff and alumni have been teaching students what it means to be connected to SU for a lifetime. We want alumni to return to campus and connect with students to help show them that "this is what SU alumni do." During the last three years, we've asked alumni to come and have lunch with four or five students "on us," which usually means over Bongo Bongo dip at BJ's. Once we know an alum is coming, we ask campus colleagues to recommend students who would be a good match. And off they go.
"It's great for students and enjoyable and meaningful for the alum," Deitrick says. "Almost always, business cards get passed or e-mail addresses get exchanged, and the network grows." The work done by Bob '69 and Carol Scherb '70 Ray with the Alumni Connect program has resulted in great connections between individual students and alumni around career advising, providing geographically distant alumni a chance to make valuable connections with students.
We ask graduates in their first four years away from Susquehanna to do easy things to stay tied to SU. For instance, I have challenged young alumni to identify and recruit one new applicant for us during their first year out of college. I tell them, "You know Susquehanna better than any other alumni right now, and you should be able to identify a high school junior or senior whom you know would benefit from coming here." We see broad value in the title of our spring 2010 giving campaign Every1Counts (E1C). "E1C represents a pathway for each Susquehanna degree holder to do a meaningful thing that can help Susquehanna and that can also be good and valuable for individual SU grads," Deitrick says.
"Susquehanna University's continued success will depend heavily on our ability to engage alumni as active members of our community. Alumni can play vital roles in recruiting students, assisting them and each other through alumni career networking, serving as champions in institutional reputation-building, and providing significant financial support through philanthropy."
—"Susquehanna University: Toward a Sustainable Future" 2010−2015 Strategic Plan
A key priority of the university's strategic plan is to build better alumni connections over the next several years. Ownership of this goal by the Board of Trustees and senior staff of the institution should send a strong signal—we seek to extend Susquehanna's reach and influence through those who know it best. The culture won't be built overnight, but the message is clear: Alumni must be important contributors to Susquehanna in a variety of ways if the university is to compete well in the future.
Faculty, coaches and staff hold the keys to success. They are the developers and holders of relationships that carry from freshman year to long after graduation. Susquehanna has for years benefited from a shared responsibility for student recruitment. No matter what you do at the university, you play a role in helping to bring the next class of students through the door. The same philosophy applies to preparing students for their role as alumni.
It's a philosophy that, put into action, begins with a handshake and leads to deeper bonds. And that is really our goal. As more handshakes happen between students, faculty, staff and alumni, more good comes to the individuals and to the university.
"The way I see it, when you're in a position to put your hand out because you need something—and you get pulled along—it creates in you a desire to pay it back," says R.J. Martucci, who also serves as president of Susquehanna's Washington, D.C., regional alumni chapter. "You want to pull the next one forward when you get the chance."

Out of all the dramatic and not so-dramatic gown at the Golden Globes, last night, two stood out for being the most forward-thinking and outré. You may not agree with them, you may even be on the fence with them, but you have to admit that both Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman's gowns stand out from the crowd. And it's a pretty hard crowd to stand out from, considering every A-lister is doing their level best to outshine the other. What makes these two gowns extraordinary is the key usage of embellishment, elevating, what would be regular black gowns to show-stoppers. Before we start, it's also important to note that both ladies were extremely smart in leaving their hair and makeup neutral — and OMG, did their skins glow — so that their outfits took center-stage.
Kate's black gown was a dramatic Alexander McQueen. It featured long sleeves and a little train, but the flash of skin, which was so sexy, was provided through a deep key-hole. And all that may be gravy, but the aspect we're tripping over the most is the gold-leaf embellishment on the collar and the waist. The whole outfit has quite the impact, and is complemented by her little gold Roger Vivier 'Boite de Nuit' clutch, which was totally in keeping with the whole outfit. Giving her a run for her money, though, was Nicole's gown, also by Alexander McQueen. How's that for a synchronistic moment? The lovely actress' gown featured some eye-catching bronze studs over the bodice, elevating her in the embellishment stakes. We usually demur from the semi-sheer trend but find the mesh detailing on her waist gorgeous. She iced up the look with Fred Leighton jewelry that was minimal enough not to interfere with her look. We're sold on both. But who gets best embellishment, then? Which of the two McQueens will you pick? Vote, vote, vote!

Giant Bomb News76 Comments
Get Fat This Week
by Jeff Gerstmann on
Fat Princess gets a release date, and that release date is only a few days away.
Also, this Thursday is the last Thursday in July, which means that Trine should be released on PSN this week, too, right? At least, that's what the last word from the game's publisher said.
Anyone else get the impression that Sony is counter-programming against Microsoft's Summer of Arcade promotion? With last week bringing Shatter and add-ons for Wipeout HD and Killzone 2 and this week bringing Fat Princess and potentially Trine, PSN is most definitely not messing around.

Whenever I go to Opulus inn my game starts having "sea shore" music and freezes. Same happens when i receive HQ thing :S
sorry my bad english
Whenever I go to Opulus inn my game starts having "sea shore" music and freezes. Same happens when i receive HQ thing :S
I have ARF in WBFS...does Configurable USBloader only play FAT32?
because when I load ARF with Configurable USBloader it says "frag"
does that mean that it is trying to read it as FAT32?
but in that case, why does the game show up in the menu
//edit [it should be noted that I can not read any game with Configurable USBloader]
I am sorry to sound stupid here cloud, but when you say to go back into the homebrew channel and click the update folder ... am I going to be selecting the folder and cIOSX_rev20b from within a different program?
same problem here
im using configure usb loader
im running the games using IOS222 and IOS223
if i try run it with IOS249 or IOS250 it says [FRAG] and console freeze
can you gys help?
or at least can tell me where i can download the bioshock version? (torrents arent allowed here so it need to be http download)
Install cIOS224 [57] v5.1 set the game to load with IOS224.
Damn I suck!!!!
BTW: there are threads on this game linked in Krank's Problematic Games thread here and you should be following those rather than resurrecting this old thread.

Today's web programming environment suffers from a cooperation problem. One illustration is that if you include a foreign script into your page, you are compromising the security of your page. In other words, it difficult to compose functionality while remaining confident that the different components will not abuse each other.
A solution found in the desktop world is to build a complicated set of restrictions around your code: ACLs, permissions, sandbox rules, checks and policies. I would argue that it is not working great for the desktop and is definitely not practical for the web.
Alternatively, the proponents of capability-based security advocate an approach based on a simpler set of primitives: encapsulating all authority into objects, ensuring that components can keep data and references private, and the ability to start executing some code with a controlled set of references to pre-existing objects (the default being none, by principle of least authority).
Javascript already has a way of keeping private variables (local variables using "var") and doesn't allow references to be forged. One missing element is a mechanism to invoke a function or evaluate a string in a controlled environment. This could include ways to sandbox function calls (including the eval method) and the <script> element.
Function calls could be made in a controlled environment, by introducing a new keyword, similar to the with primitive except that it would hide the rest of the scope chain. The code would look like this:
function executeSensitiveCode() {
// this function can use obj1 or any other member of myScope
// this function code cannot see or modify the global scope (the "window" object)
sandbox(myScope) { executeSensitiveCode(); }
A sandboxed <script> element would need a new tag name (so that it requires you to specify a scope factory method by default) and would look like this:
<sandboxedscript src=".../sensitive.js" sandbox="buildMyScope()" />
First, most sandboxed code will need access to some default and safe primitives such as the String or Array constructors. But in javascript this lets the sandboxed code modifiy these functions, for example hijacking some of their prototype methods. The sandbox should prevent this somehow, thus safeguarding the caller's environment from tampering.
Second, some large objects and APIs such as the DOM are dangerous because they cannot be segmented easily. The problem is illustrated when I want to pass in a DOM element into my sandbox, but doing so in effect passes references to the entire DOM tree. The developer would need some convenient way of building facets to such APIs.
Finally, the sandboxing solution protects the caller from the sandboxed code, but does not help protecting the sandboxed code from the caller. The caller can mess with the environment expected by the invoked code. Solving this scenario would simplify developing components such as the Windows Live Contacts Control, where content returned from a remote location needs to be kept secret from the host page. Currently, this can only be achieved by using iframes and a url hash hack, but I hope that a better solution could be designed.
Also worth keeping an eye on is the Google Caja project. More to come on this soon (I have a post queued up on the topic).Posted by Julien on April 04, 2007. Permalink
Nice thinking! One way to remedy the DOM issue is by converting all references to DOM nodes into DocumentFragments. At least that would minimize the DOM tree available.
That only leaves us with expando properties :)Posted by: Mark Wubben at April 5, 2007 03:31 AM

Two Libraries
I am trying to have 2 libraries on my Mac. I started ITunes with the option key as per instructions but there was no dialogue box to name the library.
Also when I do create the new library what is the best way to import the songs I want from the old library.
Are you holding down the Option key and then opening iTunes?
For importing, don't. Just add the songs from your Hard Drive directly via FILE > ADD TO LIBRARY.
I am holding down the option key then opening ITunes. If I do this with IPhoto a box pops up asking for the new name but not in ITunes.
What version of iTunes are you running?
Version 7.3.1 I think that is the latest. I did have 2 libraries when it was ITunes 4. I deleted that library a long time ago. While searching for this I read something that if it was in the startup folder or something to that effect, it might not work with the option key. I don't remember where I saw the artilce. I have tried to hold the option key first then start and vice versa.
Again I can get multiple libraries with IPhoto
Hmmm, mine works fine with 7.3.1.

Cat Allergy Boy - Austin Air Healthmate Air Purifier
5 Stars -
Worked wonders for my son's allergies.
My son was suffering bad allergy induced asthma from our new cat, and we purchased this in hopes of not having to get rid of the cat. Also hoping my son would eventually adapt. Well after about a week with the unit on, all his allergy symptoms have gone. He still gets puffy eyes if he is petting the cat, but other than that, allergy free. I cannot say 100% it was because of the Healthmate, but I will not turn it off... no need. I love the unit, and would highly recommend it to allergy sufferers. My only complaint is the noise level on 'high'.

Lodgit Desk's dunning system
Lodgit Desk offers you a list of all unpaid invoices so that you can easily see which of your sent invoices have not been paid, yet. This gives you a quick overview over your outstanding receivables. If a payment for an invoice has been made, you can change its status in this list as well. Invoices that are changed to a "paid" status will automatically be removed from the list.
Effective invoice management
Lodgit Desk also offers a dunning system that you can use to write payment reminders for those invoices. Simply select a key date in the dunning run which will give you a list of all invoices that have exceeded their time for payment at that date.
4-level dunning system
Payment reminders of different levels can be printed out on a single dunning run. Texts for each level are taken from the Text Management where you can alter our preset texts and save them in different languages and templates.
Lodgit Desk's dunning system has four levels; for each level, different dunning fees can be implemented. There's also the option to downgrade and reset an invoice's dunning level.
The sent out dunning notices are saved within the guest's information, just like all other correspondence created with Lodgit Desk. This allows you to quickly assess which of your (frequently) returning guests pays their invoices on time.

And I know the House is scheduled to have a repeal vote a little later this month. When you do that, will you also vote to preserve any of these programs? Or does everything go?
RYAN: Well, we -- we will vote to repeal the entire law on, I believe, July 11th. And what's frustrating about this is, when Obamacare was being deliberated, we were offering patient-centered solutions. I'll just say this. We can have a health care system in America where everybody has affordable access to health insurance, including people with pre-existing conditions, without a government takeover.
And those are the kinds of patient-centered solutions we're going to be advancing. We were proposing them then. We're proposing them now, so we can address these very legitimate concerns without a complete government takeover of 17 percent of our economy.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But to -- to be specific, those provisions that are already in place now, like closing the doughnut hole, covering young adults under the age of 26, not placing lifetime limits on care, those are all going to go in the House vote? You're not going to vote to replace them?
RYAN: We're going to repeal the entire law, and then we're going to advance patient-centered reforms which address these kinds of issues. By the way, the market was already moving on, say, the 26-year-old. Insurance companies were already announcing they're going to keep that in place anyway.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you're not going to require it.
RYAN: So if you allow the market to work to appeal to consumers -- no, but what I would say is, if you take a look at a lot of the comprehensive plans many of us have authored, it does address these things. What I'm trying to tell you, George, is we can address these legitimate problems and needs without a government takeover.
I think this, at the end of the day, is a big philosophy difference. What -- what Mrs. Kennedy and others were saying is this is new government-granted right. We disagree with the notion that our rights come from government, that the government can now grant us and define our rights.
Those are ours. Those come from nature and God, according to the Declaration of Independence, a huge difference in philosophy. And so what we're saying is, there are principles and reforms that we could have passed into law, which we still want to, that address these legitimate problems without putting the government in such a central role in our lives and in our economy, which we think is going to hurt our economy, bring us toward a debt crisis, and -- and make the American health care system that much worse.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Finally, I asked Jack Lew this. Will this election turn on health care?
RYAN: Health care and the economy. Look, this is the most important election in our lifetimes. This ruling -- and I guess this was John Roberts' thinking -- he raised the stakes of this election higher than it could have been raised.
This election is a choice of two futures. Do you want a government-centered society in a government-driven economy and government-rationed health care? Or do you want the American opportunity society with a safety net, a free economy, economic freedom, personal liberty? That's what we want. That's the American idea. We have one more chance as a people to get that back, and that chance is going to come on November the 6th.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Big choice ahead. Congressman Ryan, thanks very much for your time this morning.

Wintefest is a magical time of year the Smoky Mountains! Start the season and fill your belly at the annual Winter Magic Kickoff and Chili Cookoff in Gatlinburg on Wednesday, November 12, 2014.
This kickoff event is one of Gatlinburg's favorite events of the year. The downtown happening promises a family-friendly evening of food, fun and, finally lights.
The special evening begins at 5:00 pm, when the Chili Cookoff participants start serving up helpings of their smoky stew. Attendees have an opportunity to sample all the chili they can handle, and then are invited to cast their vote for the People's Choice Award to be given to the maker of their favorite entry. A panel of judges will also be casting votes for other awards, including best chili, best presentation and best chili apron.
Chili cook off participants run the gamut of Gatlinburg's finest. Local restaurants, attractions, retailers, banks, civic groups and other agencies will perfect their recipes and cook up their best chili concoction for this year's event.
The chili cook off culminates with the ceremonious lighting of more than one million LED lights covering Gatlinburg for the Winterfest season. The 2014 display lines the resort city's famous downtown Parkway, the adjacent River Road and fills the triangle median where the two roads meet. See custom holiday lights and celebrate the season while making special Smoky Mountain memories with loved ones.
From seasoned chili to seasonal magic, Winterfest in the Great Smoky Mountains is truly a special time of year.
This exciting evening of light and fantasy begins at 7:30 p.m. Thanksgiving evening. This is a perfect way to get some fresh air after a day filled with feasting!
