Three Steps to Replacing your Doors
When choosing the new doors for your home it is imperative that they are also the right doors for your home, which isnt always that easy.
That is why we handpick a wide range of doors in many styles and designs thus enabling us to offer you a vast range from which to choose from.
Step 1 – Making your budget work for you
The first step is always to work out how much you can afford. Budgets can vary quite a lot and therefore working out your maximum spend allows you to focus your search better. Also look for ways to maximise your budget.
Step 2 – The choice of doors that complement your home
Your home will already have its own existing décor, features and quirks and these should not be ignored. These should be used as a guide when considering what type of door styles will complement your home, not clash.
Also, the XL Joinery door collection of Oak, Pine and White Primed Doors have all been sourced from sustainably managed forests and are Chain of Custody certified.
Our collection is one of, if not the most comprehensive collection in the UK, and we have tried to cater for all home settings. Whether you are looking for traditional doors with raised mouldings and raised and fielded panels, or the more ultra-modern designs that feature long elegant lines or asymmetric curves our range covers all bases. When putting the range together, we put a lot of consideration to offering a great choice of complementary designs such as pre-glazed door designs in clear or obscure glass which come with toughened safety glass fitted as standard.
Step 3 – Taking the appropriate measurements of your door opening
When measuring your frame, the height, width and depth are all important, but firstly measure whether the frame is square and true.
Follow these three steps to see if your frame is square:
1. Measure the frame diagonally from edge to edge on both sides to see if the measurements are the same and the frame is square
2. Next measure the width of the door opening across the top, middle and the bottom Use the largest of the three measurements as the guide to selecting the right door width
3. In order to measure the height of the door, take the measurement from the hinge side first. Then measure the height of the door opening from the lock side and finally the centre. Taking the largest of the three measurements.
Select a door that is either the right size or only slightly too big (please refer to trimming details on individual doors for guidance on what can be taken off a door). A poorly fitted door will cause any number of difficulties as the building responds to changing weather conditions. For more information visit How to measure a door correctly.
For the replacement of an external door, it is important to assess the door, frame and threshold for signs of wear and damage, as it could mean you require a new Doorset. Visit our range of External Oak Doorsets.

June 12, 2012
Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students:
College Updates
Spring finals are over and our second and third year students are now on summer break, while our fourth year students continue in their clinical rotations. It will be a short summer. With the university's switch to semesters taking place on June 18, and fall semester beginning on August 22, summer will be one month shorter than in past years.
This past weekend marked important events for our graduating seniors: Honors and Awards, Oath and Hooding, and Commencement. On Saturday morning, we held the Honors and Awards event at the Fawcett Center for the first time. Previously, this event took place in our own VMC auditorium, and last year it became apparent that we had outgrown that space. In addition to recognizing students who excelled in their rotations, and favorite faculty members who were nominated by students, we also welcomed a new class of Phi Zeta honorees. You can check our home page for a new banner story with a list of all the winners. On Saturday evening, we enjoyed our annual Oath and Hooding ceremony. This is a momentous occasion for our graduates and their families. I understand that we had a record-high number of faculty participants, and I want to thank each of them for their support of our students and their accomplishments. The festivities were upbeat and fun, including a performance by our own chorus, "The Hoofbeats." The 139 new veterinarians have joined the 8,388 alumni of our college in this great profession. Thanks to our staff in our Student Affairs Office for putting these events together: Sandra Dawkins, April Pugh, Shayna Mohr, Dr. Jennifer Brandt, and Dr. Linda Lord, and Anissa Thomas from my office.
On Sunday, the events continued with a recognition breakfast for our Distinguished Alumni and Faculty Award winners, followed by The Ohio State University Commencement. President Gee stopped by our breakfast at the Faculty Club, and then mentioned one of our graduates during his commencement speech, Dr. Ryan Lukens, and Ryan's wife Dr. Jessica Lukens. Ryan is a fourth-generation veterinarian; his great-grandfather Dr. William Lukens graduated with his DVM from Ohio State 100 years ago - in 1912. Ryan's great uncle, William Lukens, graduated in 1938. In 1980, Ryan's father, William Lukens, received his DVM. According to my calculations, the next Dr. Lukens will graduate in about 2039 or so!
The Commencement ceremony was historic: it was the 400th Ohio State graduation ceremony, and marks the end of quarters at our university. I was proud to see our seniors continue the tradition of helium-filled exam gloves easily visible in the crowd of more than 60,000 in the stadium. A record number 10,642 degrees were conferred on a "cool event on a hot day" according to President Gee. The Commencement address was delivered by Susan E. Rice, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
Campus Updates and Partnerships
Last week our college was a proud participant in the naming of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center's (OARDC) Plant and Animal Agrosecurity Research Facility (PAAR) in honor of longtime U.S. Representative Ralph Regula who served the 16th Congressional District for 36 years. He was an early supporter of the project and helped secure federal funding for the $22 million building, which is designated as Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3). It is the only one in Ohio and the third --- in the country be able to handle plant and animal research.
I hope you have a great summer!

- travel advisories for specific destinations, with up-to-date information on security risks
- news features
- traveller's checklist to help you plan your journey
- registration facility where you can log your travel plans in case you need to be contacted in an emergency

Safe Travel matters
Tens of thousands of New Zealanders travel overseas every year. It's a diverse and exciting world out there. But it's not always sun, fun and photos while you're travelling. Sometimes things can go wrong.
Your best-laid plans can be upset by any number of problems. Theft, accident or illness can affect you or those with you. Even losing or damaging your passport can spoil your trip. You might also get caught up in civil unrest, natural disasters or even acts of terrorism.
Some problems are impossible to foresee or avoid. But by planning ahead and arming yourself with the right information, you can reduce the risks you might encounter overseas.
Let us know you are in Iran
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade offers an online registration service for New Zealanders visiting or residing in a foreign country. The details you provide when you register will help us to contact you in an emergency (e.g. natural disaster, civil disturbance, family emergency etc.), or to pass on information that we wish to alert you about.
Who should register?
- New Zealanders travelling to Iran, Afghanistan or Pakistan whether as tourists, for business or for short or long stays
- New Zealanders living in Iran, Afghanistan or Pakistan
Who can register?
The registration service is intended for New Zealand citizens travelling on New Zealand passports. We accept registrations from:
- all New Zealand citizens regardless of the travel documentation
- long-term permanent residents of New Zealand
- non-New Zealand children of New Zealand citizens

Let us know how we can help you
Whether you are a large corporation or a small business, we can help you improve your online presence through site improvements, SEO, and social media.
Take advantage of all the tools and frameworks available. Grunt, Yeoman, Sass are extremely productive tools that can improve development time. AngularJS, BackboneJS, NodeJS are some of the tools that can help give a great structure to the UI.
Don't ignore the benefits of an user friendly site. Users have become very savvy and a site with a bad user experience will fail no matter how much has been spent on the hardware or design.
Here are some interesting statistics:
- 75% of users never scroll past the first page of search results.
- Search and e-mail are the top two internet activities.
Ensure that your customers can find you by being the right category and keyword search.
Social media tools like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Blog posts allow you and your busniness to have a extended reach while targeting your demographic users. This is a highly effective tool that is ignored by most businesses which is available to all for free.
The goal of most startups is to have a working prototype to put in front of investors that will convey their intentions with a clear cut action. Our goal is to help these startups not only achieve this milestone but also lay the proper groundwork so that all subsequent work can be built upon the original frameowrk.
We have a history
Our mission/goal is to help companies small, medium, and large size, to meet their technology goals and provide a user friendly user interface. However, we do not limit our service to simply the project at hand; our goal is to provide a solid foundation and a sturdy footprint that will help the maintainance of the application in the future. A solid framework, comprehensive documentation, and task management are just a few services that are services we pride ourselves.
The online presence of a small business is very important. This is where one can become equal to all competitors, small or large. At Cielo Concepts, we define a businesses "online presence" as not only building a website but also providing the tools that will make the website more visible like search engine optimization so that the site will come up on searches with the appropriate keywords. A social media presence is also another way to expand the onine presence. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are just some of the ways that a business can reach its targeted audience. Blogging is also another way that a business can reach out to potential customers and "advertise through information". If you are starting a small business or just looking to improve your existing online presence contact us for more information.
The goal to present a prototype to potential investors for either "A" round funding or a second round of funding is key to the success of a tech startup. Most startups build a prototype in order to reach the needed milestone but most of the time will throw it away in preference to a more robust and agile product. At Cielo Concepts, we believe that this prototype does not need to be throw away code and can be the foundation of a product that is extensible. We can help in building the user interface so that a proper framework is created and the ancillary tools like task management tools like Grunt and scaffolding tools like Yeoman are used to build a great foundation.
Here are some of the areas where we can helpServices
We've made some.

Swarovski crystal iPhone 4 case featuring Softbank's "father Shirato"
The Shiratos are a family invented by Softbank Japan to promote their products. It is not your typical family. The mother and sister are Japanese ladies, the brother is a black guy and the father is a cute white dog (perhaps an American Eskimo?). This campaign has been hugely successful and the most popular character is of course the cute dad. Father Shirato appears on countless promotional items and merchandise, and now you can have him in crystal, on your iPhone 4, but you have to apply the crystals yourself. Well, who doesn't like "crafting" when the weather turns cold? The kit goes on sale tomorrow, but the price hasn't been released. The kit comes with everything you need to create the image of father Shirato; the case, all the crystals, glue, spatula, and a crystal pick. No creativity is needed, just a steady hand and some patience.

Tuesday Midday Links and Deals: Clarifying City Mom's Authorial Status; Scholarly...
Yesterday, I referred to City Mom blogger, Kim Strickland, at Chicago Now as a "self published author". According to Ms. Strickland, that is libelous as she is not a self published author as her work was acquired by traditional publishers. I'm not sure how calling her "self published" is libelous. I asked for clarification but received no response. I also asked whether she thought it was misleading to attempt to chop up reviews to make it look like a publication was endorsing her work when it was not, but she said that what she thought was not important when I was being "libelous." Therefore, allow me to correct my error from yesterday. City Mom blogger is an attempted self published author who wanked about the inability to cull quotable pieces from the Publishers' Weekly reviews of self published books. She never self published.
Let's recap. Ms. Strickland is unhappy that she can't turn a bad review into a disingenuous quote making it seem that PW is actually endorsing works when it is not. She is also unhappy being referred to as a self published author, as if that is a bad thing. She is not a self published author. She thought about it, even paid money to be included in a PW issue as a self published author, but she is not one. And clearly doesn't want to be identified as one. But she is an author who feels it is perfectly okay to obscure the truth about what review sites have to say about her book.
Women, Sex and S&M: Mainstream Media Totally Wrong About Female Desire — Again | | AlterNet – So yesterday, I linked to Kate Roiphe's Newsweek piece. I hadn't read it but I linked to it because of the mainstream nature (newsweek) of the article but apparently it is long and wrong. Alternet
"Yet, it remains that Roiphe speaks loudly and carries a big pen. Her views tend to go long because they sync up with existing sexist tropes and limited, gender-biased views on sexuality. Gloria Feldt, author of the book No-Excuses, observes that "co-option is rampant on all sides of this equation. It is so damn hard to change a culture while you're living in it. The rewards of living within the patriarchal narrative are so high and the benefits of bucking it so low for most people."
Happy Memories Become Less Special If You Talk About Them – Apparently we like things the less we talk about them. Gizmodo
"A word-of-mouth recommendation or warning invariably impacts upon the opinion of the recipient of the information. But it forces the storyteller to reconsider the event in detail, softening the experience. If you're talking about a great restaurant, for instance, it will make you spot the tiny flaws you didn't think about at the time. On the flip side, if you're recalling a bad dining experience, it might make you more likely to give the venue the benefit of the doubt. The concept extends to your love life, too."

Of the Google Books case, Chin said simply: "It does not seem those negotiations have gone anywhere.

Curing & stabilization of cement-asbestos products: this article describes how asbestos cement roofing, siding, pipe, and other products were cured after the wet manufacturing process. Curing methods for asbestos-cement varied from autoclave, air-drying, to storage under-water!
Cement asbestos materials: this article series describes asbestos cement products & materials and the history of their production and use. This article includes text & data Adapted from Rosato (1959 out of print) on the production and use of asbestos-containing materials, adding photographs, inspection, repair and maintenance advice, and updates on asbestos hazards involved in the installation, repair, or demolition of asbestos cement products such as roofing and siding or asbestos millboard that remain in place on buildings.

Curing Processes for Asbestos Cement Products
The products are allowed to age in a warm humid atmosphere from 21 to 28 days.
[Click to enlarge any image]
Pipe products, under this system, are frequently stored under water after approximately 7 days of curing in air.
Typically, with cement products, the strength of asbestos-cement products increases as time passes. This condition is particularly true in the first year.
Occasionally, the products are cured for approximately a day in moist steam at atmospheric pressure. The average curing temperature is approximately 85 °C. The tempera-ture-time cycle varies and depends upon the product. Atmospheric steam curing is essentially an acceleration of normal curing; it cures products without requiring a long time cycle.
Figure 3.3. Asbestos-cement product being cured in autoclave.(Courtesy Johns-Manville Corp.)
Autoclave curing is more popular. See Figure 31. It uses saturated steam at pressures between 100 and 250 psi. This process is not simply an accelerated cure, giving an ade-quately cured product in one day, but it also alters the character of the material.
The Italian inventor, Dr. Morbelli, started the process of substituting finely ground, pure silica flour for a portion of the cement in the mixture.
The silica flour and the cement react under the curing conditions to form a crystalline product in place of the typical cement gel.
This method takes into consideration the chemical reac-tion between calcium hydroxide and silica which forms a hydrated calcium silicate. The silica is added to the com-position of the product to react with the calcium hydroxide which is formed when the cement reacts with water. Steam cure under pressure provides for the chemical reaction.

CLOVIS >> The Carlsbad Cavegirls season came to an end with a 25-22, 25-10, 25-19 to the Clovis Wildcats. The win also gave the Wildcats the District 4-5A crown as well.
Carlsbad coach Bonnie McKenzie said the Cavegirls made too many errors in their service receive game as the Wildcats took the momentum of the match in the second game. The Cavegirls fundamentals of hitting, blocking and coverage were strong in the first and third set, but not enough to best Clovis according to McKenzie.
The loss in the district tournament effectively ended the Cavegirls season.
"Injury and illness had an impact on consistency during our season," McKenzie said. She explained when they did have consistency in their service and hitting game the results were wins and close games. "I'm vert proud of the girls finishing the season with pride and great effort."
Notes: Shawni Judah, Alexx Zumbrun, and Rylan Gonsalez were named to the District 4-5A team.

Sophomore Andre Hollins, who has directed the University of Minnesota to a top-10 ranking this season, was selected as one of 20 finalists Wednesday, Jan. 9, for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nation's top point guard.
Hollins, who leads the Gophers with 13.1 points and 3.5 assists a game and 41 percent shooting from three-point range, is one of four Big Ten players on the list, along with Michigan's Trey Burke, Michigan State's Keith Appling and Ohio State's Aaron Craft.
Hollins, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound Memphis native, had 22 points and six assists in the Gophers' 76-63 win over Appling and Michigan State in the Dec. 31 conference opener.
The finalists will be trimmed to 10 and to five in the next two months before the winner is announced on the Thursday before the Final Four. Last year's Cousy award went to North Carolina's Kendall Marshall. The last winner from the Big Ten was Illinois' Dee Brown in 2006.

Biological Associates, 1845 South 12th West, Missoula, MT
using Data from the Clark Fork's Ecoregion
proposed method for the evaluation of macroinvertebrate bioassessment protocols
is described in this study. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality
(Montana DEQ) uses a modification of US EPA's Rapid Bioassessment Protocols
for stream assessment and monitoring. These protocols use a battery of
macroinvertebrate community descriptors, or metrics, as indicators of biotic
health; the metrics are based upon tenets of ecological theory and field
observations and remained largely untested for sensitivity to the effects of
human activities.

Energy Renovation Solutions
Air-sealed basement
Air-sealed attic
Air-sealing the attic
Attic insulation
There are a number of ways to improve building performance, and they vary depending on the type of issues discovered during the energy assessment and the type of building. In general, building efficiency is a function of maintenance. Buildings deteriorate over time, and maintenance and upkeep are required just to slow the deterioration. Eventually, parts of your home need to be completely replaced according to the lifespan of the material.
How Does this Play Out in Real Life?
You expect to repair or upgrade your roof and your furnace as they age. However, you may not have thought very much about the need for an insulation upgrade, which is a key factor in the security and efficiency of the building envelope.
Moisture, mold, drafts, warm and cold spots are all symptoms of poor building performance—and these are all problems that can be addressed through energy renovations.
Air-Seal and Insulate
Energy efficient homes are wrapped in a continuous "building envelope" that consists of two interconnected barriers, the air barrier and the thermal barrier. Air-sealing and insulating a home is the most cost-effective measure for improving building performance.
- Air Barrier: Seals air leaks that stop air under pressure from pushing through insulation, cracks, and holes in the building; the air barrier addresses convective heat loss
- Thermal Barrier: Composed of good insulating materials that resist conductive heat loss
We will make recommendations and give you an estimate for installing air-sealing and upgrading insulation in your home to improve your comfort and save money on energy bills.
Moisture Control
Moisture needs to be controlled at the source.
Dirt, stone, or damp basements are the most significant sources of moisture that can cause problems in Vermont homes.
Controlling moisture from bathrooms, showers, kitchens and garages is critical for good indoor air quality.
Managed Ventilation
Moisture, chemicals, and combustion gases can create health problems in any home, but relatively tight structures are at greatest risk. Preventing these problems at the source and maintaining adequate fresh air through mechanical ventilation is critical to healthy, safe, and properly functioning buildings.
A comprehensive improvement project may involve air-sealing, insulation, heating system improvements and tune-ups, moisture control, and managed ventilation. We may be able to determine if your home needs more ventilation measures once we complete your assessment.
Services to Improve Building Performance
We offer the full scope of services to help improve building performance, lower heating costs, and increase the comfort of interior spaces.
- Energy Assessments: We conduct a series of building diagnostic tests that help us understand the best ways to improve performance and make your house more comfortable.
- Energy Renovations Services: After an energy assessment, we can complete the contracting services that will make your home more efficient. Our crews are qualified and certified, with experience in hundreds of Vermont homes. We provide all materials and equipment, and usually we finish a job in 2-3 days.

Digging deep: The old Durban International Airport site could look like this after its transformation into a dig-out port.

By ARTHI SANPATH
Durban - Two huge projects, on opposite sides of Durban's Golden Mile beachfront, reflect the optimism there is for development in the city in 2013.
"Next year is a year of promise for eThekwini," said council speaker Logie Naidoo.
Major projects are the back-of-port logistics hub, the development at the Point Waterfront, which includes a new cruise terminal and the Vetch's Beach area, as well as finalising plans for the Natal Command site.
Court action has stymied development at the old Natal Command site and the Point Waterfront for years, and has only recently been resolved.
"Now that we've broken the deadlock on the Point Waterfront, we look forward to development in this area." Naidoo said construction was likely to begin next year.
"We will also see construction of the houses at Cornubia speeded up, and look forward to the completion of the first phase."
The industrial park and shopping centre – part of the Cornubia development – will also begin next year.
Naidoo said the mayor and city manager have set up a planning commission for eThekwini that will look at vacant land and plan for long-term development.
"The developments mean that we will have many mayoral imbizos – in which the mayor meets with residents – and community engagements, so that people will have a clear understanding of what our intentions are."
Projects the city will focus on next year include:
Back of Port
Transnet's new R75 billion dig-out port, to be built at the old Durban International Airport site, is set to change the face of south Durban.
The first phase of the port needs to be completed by 2020, as capacity at the current Durban port would run out by 2019.
Ethekwini aims to rezone Clairwood from residential to industrial to create a back-of-port logistics hub that will complement the dig-out port.
A series of public engagements has been held this past year, and will continue intensively next year to gauge the views of affected community members who reside in and around Clairwood.
Residents fear that they will be forcibly removed, and have held mass protests this year, while the city aims to pacify their fears and reassure them that this will not happen.
The city is collating about a thousand submissions that were received in November for the back-of-port rezoning plans.
Natal Command site
This prime piece of land on the Durban beachfront had been under legal dispute for almost a decade, after the controversial R15m sale by the city to movie mogul Anant Singh, who said he would build a film studio on the site.
The land is now valued at about R400m.
Pietermaritzburg businessman Sunny Gayadin had challenged the sale of the land, and the court dispute was only resolved at the end of last month.
The proposal for the project, together with concept drawings for the film studio complex, was presented to the city nine years ago.
Singh and his management said they would have to revisit their plans for the site, as several years have lapsed since their initial concept.
There was a possibility for hotels on the site, and an experience, like Universal Walk in Universal Studios or Disney Downtown at Disney Studios.
The film company and municipality will meet in the coming months to finalise plans for the site.
Point Waterfront Development and Vetch's Beach
Earlier this month, the Durban Point Development Company (DPDC) – a 50/50 venture between Malaysian-based Rocpoint group and the eThekwini Municipality, the Save Vetch's Association (SVA) and the Durban Paddleski Club – said in a statement the parties had "ceased hostilities" and concluded a compromise settlement agreement on the use and development plans for Vetch's Beach as part of the multibillion-rand Point Waterfront Development.
SVA and the Paddleski Club were opposed to the development of Vetch's Beach, claiming it would close off the beach to the public, destroy the popular diving reef and leave many watersport enthusiasts without a venue.
The compromise solution has been described as saving at least 200m of beach. But it allows the DPDC to go ahead with plans to build a super-basement – which will form the first phase of the project – and allows for a new "iconic" hotel and waterfront development at the mouth of Durban Harbour.
Meetings on the development will be held with the affected parties in the coming year.
A world-class cruise ship terminal, as part of the Durban Point Waterfront development, is also on the cards. Transnet National Ports Authority will call for proposals in February.
The terminal would improve boarding for thousands of cruise tourism passengers, who now use makeshift facilities. It would be located just inside the harbour and adjacent to the Point Waterfront, and form part of the development of the area. - Independent on Saturday

Ambassador Bennett Meets with Shi'a Foundation Representatives
March 22, 2013 - London - Andrew Bennett, Canada's Ambassador of Religious Freedom, meets with Yousif Al-Khoei, Director of the Centre for Academic Shi'a Studies of the Imam Al-Khoei Foundation, and other foundation representatives at the centre in Brent, London. During the meeting, they discussed key matters concerning freedom of religion for Shi'a Muslims and ways in which Canada's Office of Religious Freedom could support efforts to defend freedom of religion for Shi'a Muslims in countries of concern.
The Al-Khoei Benevolent Foundation was established in 1989 by a noted Shi'a Islamic scholar, Sayyid Abul Qasim Musawi Al-Khoei. Headquartered in New York with offices worldwide, the foundation's objective, as stated on its website, "is to continue the charitable and educational functions historically associated with the office of the marj'aiyya, the institution of the highest-ranking Shi'i leadership. While its traditional, mainstream base of support is of course to be found in Shi'a populations, the Foundation has been striving for an anti-sectarian, unifying approach to build peaceful and tolerant communities."

Truly the most important news stories in the universe today. Or maybe yesterday; it's been a long weekend.
Thanks to my BFFs (Bizarre Fact Finders) for news tips; you can also send yours to email@example.com, facebook.com/ericmillikin and twitter.com/ericmillikin.
Nearly-nude woman accused of meat heist
Wausau Daily Herald says: "An 18-year-old Mosinee [Wisconsin] woman accused of standing pantsless on a street corner after stealing steaks from a nearby grocery faces charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting. ... Officers determined the steaks had been stolen after talking with the stores owner, who said he had not sold any steaks that day."
Eric says: If I didn't have any pants, I'd get myself some steaks, because then I could make myself some Lady Gaga-style meat pants.
Fire started by a squirrel disrupts funeral procession
Romford Recorder (UK) says: "A funeral car broke rank mid-procession and sped off toward its passengers house where a squirrel had started a fire. ... He arrived to find three fire crews battling the flames ... 'Its nuts to think that squirrels can start fires, but thats exactly what happened here. [The squirrel] caused the blaze by chewing through some cables ... Its a battle between me and the squirrels. ... now theyve set my house on fire [and] Ive decided Im going to shoot them all.'"
Eric says: Only thing more dangerous than squirrel is Moose and Squirrel.
Police say half-naked man is like some sort of half-naked wizard
Seattle Police Department says: "Police received a report that a man was exposing himself inside a West Seattle bar, where he had thrown 'some kind of smoke' like some sort of half-naked wizard. ... a man inside the bar had repeatedly pulled his purple sweatpants down ... employees saw what appeared to be smoke billowing out of the hallway ... they found the man spraying out the contents of a fire extinguisher."
Eric says: Do not remove the sweatpants of the great and powerful Oz.
Squid found carrying a bomb
The Telegraph (UK) says: "A fishmonger in the south of China was gutting a squid for a customer when his knife hit an eight-inch live bomb. ... The bomb weighed around three pounds and was shaped like an aubergine. Local police suggested it might have been dropped by a fighter jet but did not date it."
Eric says: Local police may not have dated it, but you know, prom season is coming up, and I just might have to date a squid bomb.

Shardz Bio
Welcome to my Gallery, thank you so much for visiting! My name is David, and I am a native to sunny San Diego, California, USA. I'm single, never married and no children, but have my tropical fish and three computers to keep me company, and it's never a dull moment here! Between the fish leaping out of the tank and my computer components blowing up, it makes me busy! *Laffs*
I have been on Renderosity since November 23, 2004, and have a strong background in 3D and 2D graphics and retail game development as a 3D level designer and texture artist. I've been into computers since 1994 and have learned to build my own from scratch which I enjoy immensely; yet another fascinating romantic endeavor! My primary weapons are Poser 6, Vue Infinite, 3d Studio Max, and Photoshop CS; a myriad of other programs also help me yield the results for my images depending on what I need for a given project. My nickname 'Shardz' stems back to the year 1994 when I was online playing my friends in games like Descent (I'm lethal in that game), Quake, Warcraft, etc. I have adapted the name to suit my online persona as life has dealt me some very difficult lessons that I still struggle to learn every day. I'm no stranger to oblivion, yet I'm no stranger to kindness and love, either. The trials of life can be most interesting and can strengthen you if you choose to learn from them.
I'm currently working on several projects that are gobbling my time like crazy; the most prominent is my ShardzScapes background pack which will be at least six months in the making and should be in the market place by Spring of 2107. To those who know me, I'm a bit eccentric and very passionate about what I do, and the perfectionist in me often draws me away from the site for weeks on end to complete a single image. It used to take me about a day to create and post an image, now it takes me weeks; hopefully my gallery reflects this fact and the progress can be witnessed browsing from the start. Art is irrelevant to time, but I'm an advocate of pushing the limits to create environments and scenes that have only been in my imagination and perhaps almost unreachable by my hardware's capabilities. I prefer fantasy based themes, but I have been entertaining other genres lately that I haven't posted yet. No image shall be uploaded before its' time, but when the time is right it shall be done! Bless all of you for your immense support in my short stint here on the site, and your inspiration, friendship, guidance, and knowledge have illumintated my path thus far!
Let's keep it unreal in 2006, and I'm looking forward to seeing boundaries pushed and development times elongated to create the most spectacular stuff ever seen! Take an extra day or two, learn other programs, extend your graphic regions by reading and studying other artist's galleries! It's all about growing, expanding, and creating better images, and making new friends along the way who inspire us and make us think and progress. There is a wealth to be learned on this site just by reaching out to another artist, to make it a point to IM someone new every week, to compliment someone who has so much talent and not much recognition. Be the best you can be and realize we are not alone here; it will be your greatest reward. May the Render Gods prevail and set us free! Please enjoy my gallery, it's my labor of love from me to you.

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's Supreme Courtdealt a blow to a controversial anti-monopoly broadcast reformlaw Tuesday, upholding an earlier ruling that said mediacompanies should not have to sell off certain operations withina year.
The government-backed law was passed last year, deepeningan acrimonious dispute between President Cristina Fernandez andleading media group Grupo Clarin, owner of Argentina's biggestnewspaper and most-watched cable news channel.
Grupo Clarin is seen as one of the media organizations thatstands to lose the most from the law, which center-leftFernandez says will break up monopolies and open the country'sairwaves to new voices.
The law had ordered media groups to sell off someoperations if there was judged to be a concentration ofownership in certain sectors, such as cable television.
Tuesday's Supreme Court decision, detailed in a statement,effectively upholds an earlier lower court ruling to suspend anarticle of the law that obligated the companies to sell someholdings within a year.
This suspension remains in effect while the lower courtdecides whether the law is constitutional.
The media law has faced a series of legal challenges sinceit was passed a year ago.
Fernandez's battle with Grupo Clarin has strained relationswith business leaders, who have been increasingly critical ofher government in recent months. (Reporting by Nicolas Misculin; Writing by Helen Popper;Editing by Bill Trott)

One day after participating in a 12-team mixed-league auction with representatives of various publications throughout the industry, I conducted one of our own here at CBSSports.com. This time, bids came more aggressively, forcing me to take a different approach that I think yielded a better team:
C - A.J. Pierzynski ($1)
C - Jeff Clement ($1)
1B - Joey Votto ($21)
2B - Chase Utley ($41)
3B - Pablo Sandoval ($25)
SS - Troy Tulowitzki ($36)
MI - Derek Jeter ($24)
CI - Billy Butler ($13)
OF - Justin Upton ($26)
OF - Adam Lind ($23)
OF - Jayson Werth ($17)
OF - Johnny Damon ($4)
OF - Julio Borbon ($4)
DH - Carlos Gonzalez ($1)
SP - John Danks ($4)
SP - Gavin Floyd ($4)
SP - Ricky Nolasco ($3)
SP - Brett Anderson ($3)
SP - Randy Wolf ($3)
SP - Aaron Harang ($1)
RP - Billy Wagner ($3)
RP - Leo Nunez ($1)
RP - Kerry Wood ($1)
In the earlier auction, the majority of my competitors chose to forego the big-dollar players, instead saving their money for the middle-round bargains. So naturally, I loaded up on the supposedly expensive types, landing Hanley Ramirez for $43, Ryan Howard for $38, Tulowitzki for $36, Joe Mauer for $29, Victor Martinez for $24 and Justin Morneau for $22. Hey, if nobody else wanted to bid on them, why should I let them go for cheap? Meanwhile, the supposed bargains ended up the more hotly contested players because everyone had stashed away money for them. Votto went for $30. Nelson R. Cruz went for $21. Adam LaRoche went for $11. It was a topsy-turvy auction.
In this auction, though, everybody went all out for the studs, shelling out $40-plus bids as if they had the Steinbrenner family purse at their disposal. With so much money flying off the board early, I realized some of that middle-round talent -- as well as the typical second-, third- and fourth-rounders -- would go for too cheap, so I eased up a bit, jumping in only on Utley and Tulowitzki and staying far, far away from the fistfight for Mauer and Martinez. Sure enough, I ended up with a deep arsenal of second-tier talent, with Upton, Sandoval, Jeter, Lind, Votto and Werth all plenty capable of putting up early-round numbers.
The one common thread between the two auctions was my approach to my pitching staff. I spent only $23 on this one, and I think you'd agree it looks pretty stout -- certainly better than my $22 staff one day earlier. Of course, in that auction, I never would have gotten Danks, Floyd, Nolasco and Anderson for the bargain prices I did here -- not with everyone saving up for sleepers.
If I could change anything, I'd rather have a $4 Andrew McCutchen and a $4 Nate McLouth than a $4 Damon and a $4 Borbon, but those are relatively minor mistakes for such a frenzied exercise. Overall, I think I did the best I could in each auction given the differing circumstances. Having them back-to-back underscores just how much an auction can vary based on the attitude of your competition.

UFA's – Hidden Gems
Written by Darryl Dobbsfrom www.dobberhockey.com
It has been well do*****ented that Patrick Elias will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The same can be said about the dynamic duo in Ottawa, Wade Redden and Zdeno Chara.
That is where the big news lies – in the newsmakers. But what of the lesser known UFA's? The unsung heroes? What is out there that can help your team? Which players are deep on your fantasy roster right now, but a move to a new NHL squad could suddenly make their numbers 'pop'?
Most of the big name UFA's are going nowhere. Is Edmonton going to let Dwayne Roloson walk NOW? Can you see Joe Sakic in another uniform? No. It's the mid-level guys that will switch jerseys. So who will be the next Brian Rolston? That is to say – who will increase their output by 50%, simply be signing with a new team?
Here are my candidates:
Mike Leclerc, Calgary – If the 29-year-old can maintain good health for the better part of an 82 game season, he could flourish in the right situation. A rebuilding team, such as St. Louis, would see bigger numbers out of Leclerc because he would be one of their go-to guys.
Manny Malhotra, Columbus – still just 25, Malhotra is not putting up the numbers expected of him when he was drafted seventh overall by the Rangers in 1998. Sometimes, players that jump into the NHL as 18-year-olds see their offensive development stalled. See Jason Weimer for details. That being said, Malhotra had a run of 15 points in 22 games before being derailed by injuries. His career high is 31 points. The right situation on the right team could see him garner as much as 50.
Johan Hedberg, Dallas – If he lands in the right situation as a backup goaltender, he could start as many as 40 games. Is Atlanta a good fit? All it would take is another injury-filled season by Kari Lehtonen, and suddenly Hedberg has legitimate fantasy value.
Radek Dvorak, Edmonton – With a great playoff run like this one, I can't see the Oilers letting Sergei Samsonov go. Dvorak, however, is free to walk. If the 29-year-old walks onto the right team with the right linemates, he has 60-point ability.
Valeri Bure, Los Angeles – Remember him? After missing one season from the lockout, and another one from back surgery, he should be healthy again in the Fall. He is six years removed from a career-high 75 points. If he truly is healthy, he is cheap pickup for most teams to stick on their first or second lines. A fantasy dark horse for next year.
Kyle Wanvig, Minnesota – This 25-year-old has questions about his maturity and/or discipline. That said, he could third-line points and big time penalty minutes. Once again, he needs the right coach and the right team.
Jan Bulis, Montreal – At one point, the 28-year-old had a run going in which he garnered 17 points in 13 games. His average ice-time this year was just over 15 minutes. Eleven players had more time on the power play than Bulis did in Montreal. What if he had top-five PP ice time?
Next week: Part 2 of 2.

Sainsbury's is the third largest chain of supermarkets in the UK. In June of 2011, a 3 1/2 year old girl called Lily Robinson wrote a letter (with the help of her mom) to the supermarket chain posing a simple question. Why a certain type of bread sold by the chain is called "Tiger Bread" when it really has the markings of a "Giraffe"?
How Sainsbury responded, is a textbook example of how other companies should handle customer service. The response isn't dry, and stock. It's a personalized response to the little girl, that uses language a three year old can understand. Also attached was a £3 (almost $5) gift card – enough to buy the bread and some sweets.
Lily's mom posted the original response letter on her blog site, and though the response received some attention from blog sites, Twitter and Facebook, it really went viral of January of this year. The letter has been "Liked" nearly 150,000 times, and shared nearly 50,000 times on Facebook, and it's been commented on thousands of times.
This simple act, of Sainsbury's responding to a little girl, has generated a massive amount of publicity that would have otherwise cost thousands upon thousands of dollars for the company. Companies should not be afraid to embrace social media. A well laid out social media strategy will be a benefit to your company.
In the trucking industry for example, each major social media platform has its suitable uses. Facebook for example, is a great place for hiring drivers, as well as building company culture around your employees and your brand. LinkedIn is a great way to generate leads as well as network. Canadian carriers are under-utilizing social media, and it's time for them to, get on board.

Utah Jazz wary of Bulls after Denver blowout (with video)
Al Jefferson tries to get away from the NBA on nights the Jazz have off. He says he doesn't often watch games. But he did Thursday.
The Chicago Bulls (29-20) were in Denver on the first end of a back-to-back, and Jefferson, the Jazz center, said he watched the game on and off before it turned into a blowout.
"I just wanted to see how they play and what they do," Jefferson said. "Got a good idea after last night."
And if that's the Bulls team that shows up at EnergySolutions Arena on Friday night, the Jazz should be just fine in the nationally televised game that tips off at 8:30 p.m. But things rarely are as easy as they were in Denver's 128-96 win.
"We can't look at that," Paul Millsap said. "We've got to let that game be where it was yesterday. We've got to come out and play them aggressive, the same way Denver played them aggressive yesterday. Normally that means a team is going to come back and try to get at it the next night."
The Bulls are one of the league's best defensive teams, allowing just 91.8 points per game, the third-fewest in the league.
Like the Jazz, Chicago is a physical team with a heavy focus in the paint. Former Jazz power forward Carlos Boozer returns to Utah for just his second game since leaving as a free agent in 2010.
Millsap is the last remaining Jazz player who was a teammate of Boozer's, and already this year has played against other former members of those teams, including Wesley Matthews and C.J. Miles.
"It's a little different than the other two," Millsap said, "seeing how I played behind Booz. He was a mentor to me early in my career. It's going to be a little different. Can't look back on that, got to get out there and go to work."
The Bulls have exceeded the expectations of many this season. They enter Friday's game against the Jazz in fourth place in the East. They've done it without former MVP Derrick Rose, who has missed the season after tearing ACL and MCL last April. He is expected to return in the next couple of weeks.
Jefferson gave the credit for the Bulls weathering the storm to coach Tom Thibodeau.
"The job that coach has done with that team," he said, "especially without their star player is amazing."

Silver surfers slow to connect - studyComment on this story
Washington - American senior citizens are gradually finding their way to the Internet, but lagging the overall population in online usage, a survey showed.
The Pew Research Center report showed that 59 percent of US adults age 65 or older use the Internet - up six percentage points from a year ago. And 47 percent have a high-speed broadband connection at home.
But that leaves 41 percent who do not use the Internet at all, and 53 percent lacking high-speed connectivity, the researchers found. For the overall US population, Pew estimates 86 percent use the Internet.
"We've been reporting on tech use among older adults for more than a decade, but this particular study is unique because it was based on a large survey that allows us to look at seniors in a more detailed way than we have in the past," researcher Aaron Smith said.
"Although technology use among older adults overall remains low, there is actually quite a bit of diversity within the senior population."
The researchers found that the relatively young - under 70 - affluent, and highly educated segment of this population "is actually quite connected," Smith said.
"These seniors own a fair number of technology assets, have integrated the Internet into their daily lives, and have positive attitudes towards online life."
Some 74 percent of those in the 65-69 age group used the Internet, and two-thirds of them said they had a high-speed connection.
But the percentage going online drops to 37 percent for those over 80, the survey found.
Among seniors with an annual household income of $75 000 or more, 90 percent go online; and 87 percent of those with a college degree use the Internet.
Pew said many seniors have physical conditions or health issues that make it difficult to use new technologies. Others find the technology challenging and some are skeptical about benefits.
In the survey, just one-sixth of the older adults said they would feel comfortable learning to use a new technology device such as a smartphone or tablet on their own, while 77 percent would prefer someone to help walk them through the process.
But when they get online, most seniors keep using the Internet. Among Internet-adopting seniors, 71 percent are online every day or almost every day.
In terms of other technology usage, 77 percent of US seniors said they had a mobile phone, but just 18 percent had a smartphone.
Twenty-seven percent of seniors said they had a tablet or e-reader, Pew found.
The study found 27 percent of older adults use social networking sites such as Facebook, but these users were quite active: some 81 percent of the respondents who use social networking sites say that they socialize with others either in person, online, or over the telephone on a daily or near-daily basis.
The researchers said services like Facebook were helping maintain social connections in a population with limited mobility.
Still, the percentage of seniors using social networks lagged the 63 percent of the general population.
The report is based on a survey of 6 010 adults including 1 526 over 65, taken between July 18 and September 30, 2013. The margin of error for the senior group is estimated at 2.9 percentage points. - Sapa-AFP

Pat Quinn's successful experiences working with junior-aged players gave him the itch to get back into the big show. The Edmonton Oilers were willing to scratch it.
The Oilers on Tuesday announced that Quinn, 66, is taking over as the ninth coach in the franchise's 30-year history and, surprisingly, former New York Rangers coach Tom Renney is jumping on board as his associate head coach.
Kelly Buchberger is staying on as an assistant coach and there is a chance another assistant could be added before the summer is over.
"The luxury that we have right now is two men that have led NHL organizations," an elated Oilers General Manager Steve Tambellini said of Quinn and Renney. "We have two people here that have the coaching brainpower than can match any that we compete against."
This will be the second time Quinn will serve as Renney's boss. As the general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, Quinn hired Renney as the team's coach in 1996. Tambellini was working in Vancouver's front office at the time.
"This is not a one-man show," said Quinn, who has not yet figured out what specific duties each coach will be tasked with. "What I was pleased about when we were working to put this group together was the person. I know (Renney's) work ethic. I know his intelligence. I know his knowledge of the game. His personality is different from mine and hopefully we have those complimentary skills that good teams have."
Quinn last coached in the NHL in 2006, when he finished a successful seven-year stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He won 300 games, a division title and brought the Leafs to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1999 and again in 2002.
After his tenure with the Leafs ended, Quinn wasn't sure if he would coach in the NHL again. But his passion never faded and after coaching Team Canada to gold medals at the 2008 IIHF World Under-18 Championships in Kazan, Russia and 2009 IIHF World Junior Championships in Ottawa, the urge to get back into the League was strong again.
"As I was trying to figure out, with no plan, what I wanted to do I found out that passion for the game didn't dissipate," Quinn said. "I knew I was too young to not be back in the game at some place. After the Under-18 and then the 20-year-old junior experience, I really knew that I wanted to be involved again. You never know if you're going to get an opportunity, but it came along and I'm very excited about it, charged and anxious."
Quinn has also coached in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Vancouver in a career that spans 31 years. He led the Flyers and the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Final in 1979 and 1994, respectively. He's a two-time winner of the Jack Adams Award.
Quinn is revered in Canada for being the head coach of the country's entry into the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. The Canadians brought the gold medal home for the first time in 50 years.
But his most recent experience coaching the Canadian junior-aged players could serve as arguably the best thing Quinn has going for him now. He is taking over a team that finished the 2008-09 season with 15 players who are 25 or younger.
If Quinn needs any help in getting acclimated to today's NHL, he needs to only look down the bench to Renney, who was the Rangers coach from 2005 until he was replaced by John Tortorella 61 games into this past regular season.
Renney admitted he had other opportunities, perhaps even to be a head coach elsewhere, but he chose to join Quinn in Edmonton because he's a big believer in the group philosophy. He does not at all look at his new role as being a step backward.
"You have to understand that when you're making decisions with respect to your own career you want to first and foremost identify with good people," Renney said. "This was honestly a no-brainer. This was a slam dunk."
Before Renney took over in New York, the Rangers had gone eight years without a playoff berth. Under Renney, the Rangers won 40 or more games three straight seasons, a feat that the organization hadn't accomplished since 1974.
Renney, like Quinn, also has a long history with Hockey Canada. He joined the program in 1993 and was the head coach for Team Canada in the 1994 Olympic Games. The Canadians took home the silver.
He has won eight medals, including three golds, in his international coaching career.
"Listening to Pat and what he wanted to do with this hockey club and then listening to Tom, I didn't know if I'd get both of them, but for both of them to be sitting here I'm grateful that they've accepted this challenge," Tambellini said. "I know the entire coaching staff will be successful. I can't think of a better way to begin."

text: Reid May Go 'Nuclear' to Reform Filibuster Senate leader considers changing rules for nominations in July By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted May 18, 2013 12:47 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (80) (Newser) – Those who think abuse of the filibuster has gotten out of hand in DC should keep an eye on three upcoming Obama nominations, reports Greg Sargent at the Washington Post. If Republicans use the tactic to block the president's picks to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the labor department, and the EPA, Harry Reid is expected to exercise his so-called "nuclear option" and change the Senate's filibuster rules on his own in July, writes Sargent. Reid would make it so that presidential nominations to the courts and the executive branch would need a simple majority instead of a filibuster-proof threshold of 60 votes. The filibuster rule wouldn't change in regard to regular legislation. The Huffington Post reports that Sargent's scoop is on target, adding that Reid has begun talking strategy with Democratic Jeff Merkley of Oregon, a big proponent of reform.
