What a project like this needs is (1) a topnotch overall manager, someone who has delivered critical technology projects of size, and (2) a superduper technical "swat team" of software architects and engineers. One IT guy from Google and an Obama buddy is what we're getting. Why am I not convinced that this is going to solve the problem?
Maybe Obama could subcontract out to Snowden.
Expect a lot of action but no resultsfrom the "tech surge".
So far Obamacare has been a surge of incompetence..
You can dress up a pig anyway you like, but in the end it's still a pig.
You can dress up a pig any way you like but in the end it's still a pig.
Lotsa luck, tech is a tiny part of the problem; start with the "no browse" directive from dear leader.
Gershman is not Obama's buddy, he is an accomplished software engineer.
how many millions of taxpayer money sent to canada,
and now, how much more will be spent.
yeah things were way better before he took office. lol
He may not look like a buddy to you but he's now tarred by being picked to rescue O's A$$. Take a look at his Twitter feed. Jarrett even praised him. No, he's not anyone's buddy.
And since when is 'entrepreneur' a qualification for anything? The question is how many really big web projects like OCare has he been on and brought in?
Gershman was supposed to be working on Project MyGov to make government more receptive to the current technology world and citizens. Looks like his influence was just as successful as Obama when it came to healthcare.gov.
Heckuva job, Barry.
What kind of a web site makes you register before you can see what is available to buy? I think it was a stroke or genius on Obama's part to insist that it function that way. Now he can turn over the data of anyone who registers to his friends at the IRS and if they haven't bought a policy it will be easier to find and harass them with fines and such.
Cronies to my left, "donors" to my right.
If I were tapped by the Obumbledums I would want to keep a very low profile too.
These sites are not ready and the start dates should have been extended or postponed until fully functional. This may occur this year or hopefully, by early next year- but there are no guarantees this whole software project isn't undergoing a " Death March" ( Software engineering project management term describing projects in which the sponsor has given-up on and which a surge in technical manpower resources (and money) is thrown at the failing project in a desperate attempt to "fix" it, often forcing workers to put in grueling 12 hour days, 7 days a week for months).
This "situation" also reminds me of Microsoft who typically releases new versions of its flagship Windows operating system, and then routinely fixes all the bugs with subsequent "service packs" a year or more later. Microsoft is known to write and release "buggy software". Similarly, the Federal government is also known to usually be over budget, inefficient, and full of their own "bugs", as well.
Therefore, the current enrollment failure of many of the Obama Care Health Exchanges should not come as any big surprise to any informed individual, except to inexperienced voters who have memory impairment or are in fact "new" ( just turned 19, Fresh- Off- the- Boat; Armenian Immigrant, etc).
Quoting one of the previous posts, "yeah things were way better before he took office. lol": Isn't that the argument about the government doing anything like this all - it can't - no matter which side is trying to do it. I'm personally wondering when are these "preferably" months of testing (for security holes, needed performance enhancements, and bug fixes) before the site goes live going to occur.
Obama Care "Death March" is what this appears to be.
Let me see……….The techs in the know are suggesting that the ACA site disaster was because of an integration failure, the real disaster may be after they get the train back on the track and country's youth do not come to the party.
Continue with the usual "no bid" contracts.
The hardest part of any big government IT project is getting agreed upon business processes/rules out of the govt's project management organization. It always comes down to policies - who can approve them or change them? In the case of ObamaCare, it has turned out that manys business rules were not delivered to the development contractor until AFTER the presedential election because they would not be popular with the public, so this in itself is reason that the roll-out date should have been moved far to the right.
"Obama administration officials have been curiously tight-lipped about the identities of the tech gurus brought in to help fix the troubled HealthCare.gov website."
Here's to transparency. It's OUR MONEY. We deserve to know the FACTS.
Is our President honest about anything at all??>????????????
Hola Amigos:
I think it's interesting that the Justice Department is dead set against Picture ID's for voting because the "poor" somehow can't get that done, but yet the "poor" need to get to a computer and learn how to navigate a web site so that they can get insurance.
Enjoy your government!

A few days ago, I commented in a blogpost that I'd already bought something from the NorthernQuilts website, and here it is - "Julehjerter" (translated this means Christmas Hearts). And no, it's not completed yet - (don't get too excited) - but I have finished the stitchery hearts...
...this BOM has been running for 4 months, and each month I received the traceable pattern and full instructions(in English - wooohooo!! - no need for Google Translate!!). The final part has arrived, and now I just need to have a rummage in my box of Christmas fabrics to pick out something suitable for the blocks and borders and binding - when it is completed, it can be a cloth for the table or a wall hanging.

War Remnants Museum
A must see
What we say:
Just few blocks from the entrance to the Reunification Palace, Saigon's War Remnants Museum offers a narrative of the war from the North Vietnamese perspective.
Opened in late 1975 and located on Vo Van Tan in District 3 in the former US Information Service Building, the museum was originally called The House for Displaying War Crimes of American Imperialism and the Puppet Government. Later, this was shortened to the Museum of American War Crimes and then to the simpler War Crimes Museum, which remained the name until the early 1990s.
Although the name has changed, the museum's sentiments have not; it heavily focuses on displaying the crimes and atrocities of war and the emphasis is on the horrors perpetrated by the Americans. The result is a somewhat one-sided story presentation which may feel unfamiliar or unfair to some attendees -- bias aside, the museum gives a great lesson in the horrors of war.
Walking through the gate, past the museum's high walls, you'll find yourself in a courtyard filled with military vehicles and unexploded ordnance. Here you get the chance to get up close and personal with period equipment from the war era, including a Huey and Chinook helicopter as well a fighter jet and tank taken from the South Vietnamese Air Force. Next to the museum you will also find a small stockpile of bombs, we presume deactivated, to give you an idea of what was dropped on the country.
One of the more interesting exhibits outside of the museum is found to the far left side of the main hall. Here you'll find a life-sized recreated French POW camp, which houses displays of some of the torture devices, like barbed-wired tiger cages, and shows torture methods used during the conflict. Many of the displays are complete with mannequin bodies positioned inside. For the morbidly curious, this is also where you will find a guillotine actually used in executions until 1960.
Inside, the museum is divided into three levels with a variety of exhibits, such as on weaponry, propaganda and children's artwork. Notable sections include the Hall of Historical Truths, which shows press and propaganda denouncing the US government between the 1960s and 70s, and the International Support for the Vietnamese People Room, where you can see offerings from various world bodies opposing the entry of the Americans. I found one of the most powerful displays in the Requiem exhibit, a collection of photographs taken by journalists who were killed during the war. All displays have accompanying fact cards in both Vietnamese and English, giving you plenty to read as you stroll through.
The museum isn't for everyone; some of the pictures and displays are graphic and shocking; while there may be no easier way to drive home the point that war is bad, what is displayed may not be suitable for the faint of heart or children. But if you're interested in war history, this is your place. The brutality of war is on full effect and you couldn't go to many other places in the entire world where this is more evident. A walk through the museum would be a necessary companion to a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels; many tour companies partner a trip to the museum with a trip to the tunnels. Because of this, the best time to visit the museum is in the morning, as you will avoid the tour groups who flood the museum later in the day.
After the musuem, if you're looking for another dose of war history, you're only a short walk from the Reunification Palace or a five-minute drive from the Southern Women's Museum, a site displaying the contribution of women to the defence of the country. Further outside of downtown you could also visit the Southeast Armed Forces Museum, about a 20-minute taxi ride away, for more information about the earlier Indochina wars with France.

The Laslett
I spent one night in Notting Hill at The Laslett – I arrived much too late at night and had to leave much too early in the morning to really explore the neighborhood but I absolutely loved the 'smart charm' (is that even a real phrase?) and details of the hotel. This was supposed to be my London Part 2 post, but had too many photos of the hotel I wanted to share, so I guess this is a quick Part 2 Part 1?

Nicole Patel
When I first came across Nicole Patel's beautiful grid work (via Rosa of Cereal), I immediately felt a sense of calm. I wanted more. I exclaimed to anyone who might care and showed them her pieces, "I love this artist's work!" I was drawn to photos of her home in Nyack as well, which gave me a similar calm feeling. Clearly she knew a thing or two about interiors as well. We eventually started chatting and connected in real life. When Nicole came over one day to talk about doing a piece for me, I gave her the "grand tour" of my apartment and basically begged for organizing advice (if you saw the insides of my closets, you'd understand why). I recently had the chance to visit her home and studio, and I left feeling incredibly inspired by Nicole's thoughtfulness about her work, approach, and intentions. I hope you'll also enjoy this conversation with her.
How did you get started in your current series of work?
My current series is a collection of Bridges. It originated many months ago when I saw the documentary about the architect Sir Norman Foster. The Millau Viaduct in France was featured and the first sight of it inspired me immensely. It is a mastery of structure, sweeping and expansive, made up of a simple shift of equal line weights. I was simultaneously seeking to simulate what I love about blueprints within my work, and I began working with a Sky Blue Japanese Merino thread for its color and heathered line quality. Eventually after enough time, the Bridge manifested, and it held a space for that undulating grace that I longed to emulate.
Who/what are your biggest inspirations?
When I think about what my biggest inspiration is on a daily basis, my intention is to help people in some way. When I was studying fine art at University I had an inkling to be an art therapist. Later in life I developed my own company called Homework. I worked as a holistic interior designer. It was essentially home organizing and interior design, with an aim to optimize people's quality of life by clarifying their home. Eventually I grew into working as a fine artist doing the work I am known for now, but my objective remains the same – helping people feel a sense of peace and clarity in their home by holding a space for simplicity.
What are your favorite materials to work with?
I tend to gravitate towards materials that are in some way pure. That largely becomes natural materials such as cotton, wool and marble, but it also includes plaster. So more than natural materials, I enjoy working with materials that are the foundation for other art forms. The muslin, for example, is the blank canvas of fashion, marble the bedrock of classical sculpture, plaster used in casting clay, etc. Someone likened my work to the experience of perusing a stationery store and selecting a notebook, holding so much possibility in those blank pages, and that is indeed what I want to offer – that unadulterated potential that a given material holds.
What influences your interior aesthetic? And what were you trying to achieve when putting together your workspace?
I am always working to turn down visual noise, and the furnishing is simple enough to be a platform for the daily activities. I continually transition from working on my art to being a mom, to housekeeping, and to administrative tasks throughout the day. They are all in the same space, so there is no boundary between my work and the rest of my life and I think that's how I'm most productive.
What kind of state of mind are you in when you're actively creating and putting together your grids?
Seeking – if it's a new piece or style I am seeking something, a fine line between what I feel appeals to both the intellect and the spirit. I always try several iterations and let them percolate. I live with them to understand their presence. They need to be understated and attractive, and also have enduring appeal.
Do some of the grids happen spontaneously or do you pre-plan all of them?
I have decide to produce my work in limited editions of twelve. So sometimes I have to stick to the plan and recreate a formula, which is possible but challenging for me. As an artist, once I have the foundation laid out, I set out on a journey but always want to take a new scenic route! So often times when I am intending to repeat myself I follow my intuition instead and new piece is born. It reminds me of one winter I was making a chicken soup for some friends who were visiting. I had the classic ingredients and then some, and my mind thought to make numerous alternative versions. I began to say to myself, "Just make the soup, just make the soup." I followed through with a most classic version and when my guest tasted it he remarked that it reminded him of his Jewish grandmother's chicken soup. It was one of the best compliments I've had on my cooking, and I was so happy I stayed on task!
Can you share some of your favorite books for inspiration?
John Pawson by Deyan Sudjic and Bruce Chatwin, Belgian Architects and Their Houses by Diane Hendrix and Muriel Verbist, The Mountain Poems of Stonehouse by Red Pine
A few places you can find or purchase Nicole's work: Nalata Nalata (in the physical store), Cereal's online shop, and C'H'C'M. And of course you can contact Nicole directly via her website for pieces.

Portsmouth, N.H. – Making repairs can be a drag. The only thing worse is making the same repairs for a second or third time. However, after the storms and flooding of March and April of this year, more than 145,000 Bay Staters took the opportunity to avail themselves of information that may help them break the dispiriting cycle of damage-repair-damage-repair.
To help with those difficult flood-repair issues, staff from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Mitigation Division stationed themselves in 60 home improvement stores to serve as face-to-face resources from mid-April through early August. Each team of about five members brought a display table and boxes of publications to distribute under the banner reading "Mitigation – Rebuilding Better and Stronger." The 37 FEMA staffers from all over the country were deployed to Massachusetts to participate in this outreach program.
Fellece Coleman, coordinator of the Community Education Outreach (CEO) outreach in Massachusetts, says "Support from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, FEMA's regional office in Boston, and field office staff enabled us to achieve this phenomenal success."
Customers entering the stores would be approached by a FEMA-shirted representative and asked if they had damage during the storms. Various publications or counseling would be offered, depending on the type of damage each customer described. Typical handouts included: Repairing Your Flood-Damaged Home, Protecting Your Home from Flood Damage, Mold & Mildew, and National Flood Insurance brochures. More than 75,000 publications were given out during the mitigation effort.
The CEO personnel were also qualified to offer advice on specific problems such as how to improve basement drainage, raise utilities out of the reach of rising water or sealing bulkhead doors to prevent leakage.
"It was invaluable that the CEO program was able to begin its operations early in the disaster," she continues. "Some people begin repairing homes immediately and this way we caught them before they made mistakes. We also had enough time to visit 60 sites instead of 20 or 30."
"We were able to refer many of the customers to Disaster Recovery Centers that were open in the affected area so they could register for assistance or get more information on aid programs."
"When the recovery centers closed and registration period ended on June 12," Ms. Coleman adds, "we spoke to the importance of disaster preparedness for hurricanes and summer storms. The interest from the citizens was amazing."
This CEO effort was launched in the wake of a March 29, 2010, presidential disaster declaration for seven Commonwealth counties: Bristol, Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, and Worcester. Individuals, businesses, state and local governments and some private non-profit agencies became eligible to apply for assistance from the federal government. A temporary Federal/Commonwealth joint field office was opened on April 5 in Andover, MA, to administer the recovery process.
Mitigation outreach specialists also participated in the following activities: nine fairs, four special events, and interviews with radio, newspaper and television outlets. The interactions provided an opportunity for Massachusetts residents to give feedback on their interaction with the federal government after the disaster declaration.
The CEO teams also completed four DAWG HAUS projects. The small-scale buildings depict 'Disaster Avoidance with Good Home Attenuating-Unionization Systems.' Two of the DAWG HAUS models were built by carpentry students at North Quincy High School and two were built at Home Depot stores by resident staff. The four fi...

On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
In my room watching a movie or watching a show on my computer. Some times I go out with friends and have a good time. Or I might be doing my job where I can't leave the building I live in because I have to make rounds of the building.

The Estremadura region
Lisbon and particularly this area is one of the most antique cities in Europe and it has many tourist attractions. Lisbon is a very nice, calm and pacific city; people are warm and welcoming, and there are a lot of historical monuments and large squares where you can relax while listening to the sound of the waters falling from the fountains. You can also enjoy the typical Portuguese "fado", a kind of melancholic and sad but meaningful music, typically from Lisbon, along the streets or in the known as "fado houses" ("casas de fado"). The average annual temperature is 17 °C (63 °F)/21 °C (70 °F) during the day and 13 °C (55 °F) at night.
Downtown, where the apartment stands - Praça da Figueira (Rossio) - is one of the areas that attract thousands of tourists and visitors annually. Rossio is one of the greatest and more beautiful squares in Lisbon. I has the statue of D. Pedro IV - an important king for Portugal - in the middle. Near by you'll find some other historical monuments such as Catedral (a cathedral) and the Castelo de S. Jorge (a very famous castle in Lisbon, where often occur artistic events). Some of the most historical areas of Lisbon are located near by as well, such as Bairro Alto (translated "High Neighborhood") and Alfama. There you'll also find typical Portuguese restaurants, where you can taste delicious Portuguese food and enjoy a good wine. There you can relax while listening to the sound of the waters falling from the fountains, and you'll find lots of shops as well.

Marvel All New, All Different - Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)
The Amazing Spider-Man covers form the 90s weren't so bad, but the insides, dear god... And still, despite that criticism, he was one of the best artists at work back then.
Doctor Susan Richards?
When did Susan get a Doctorate, and in what did she get that Doctorate?
Also they have seriously aged Susan from how John Byrne drew their first encounter in the 80s.
Sue was 11 or 12 and annoying. Jumping up and down dictating to the 19 year old grd student renting the spare room that she was going to marry him some day... This is a radical change in their dynamic that Reed is no longer almost a decade older than Sue... Which also makes Ben and Victor 10 years younger since they all went to school together.
Seriously, it's probably a doctorate in 19th century Poetry or Women's studies... Not that there's anything wrong with that... And if they're always fighting such an asshat who insists that they acknowledge his higher education while he's trying to destroy them, why can't Victor even sometimes call her Doctor Invisible Woman?
Sleep learning?
Virtual Learning?
This might not be the first time they've used conflicting rates of time to their own advantage...
An Honorary Degree?
Reed wasn't in the position to be patronizing if he didn't believe there was merit or value to her degree but we should have noticed her spending another 4 to 7 at school getting a PHD in something or even an MD?
Oh god.
He doesn't call her Doctor, because she's the Love Doctor?
But I digress...
"What must it be like to be a Queen?"
She's almost married Doom and Namor half a dozen times, and I've seen Blackbolt looking at her bum... Do you think Blackbolt and Medusa are Swingers? But Susan was an Inhuman Queen in the recent storyline last year when the other Inhumans from space turned up... She was simultaneously the queen to 6 different inhuman empires.
Being a Bride of Set made her a Goddess not a Queen right?
10 years ago when the Fantastic Four (Mark Waid?) knocked over the despot running Latervia who wasn't Victor Von Doom... What title did she get out of all that hoohaw? Countess? Princess? Queen? Deputy Prime Minister? First lady?
Although I'm still reeling over this Doctor Thing?

South Allegheny Middle School to host conference
South Allegheny Middle School will host the Pennsylvania Association of Middle Level Education's western region conference this year, Superintendent Wayne Gdovic announced at Wednesday evening's school board meeting.
The district has participated in the annual professional development conference for several years.
Gdovic congratulated the school's administration, staff and students for the achievements that attracted the conference to South Allegheny.
The association was established in 1975 as the Western Pennsylvania League of Middle Schools. It offers resources and information to educators and administrators.
The middle school twice has been named by the association as a "school to watch," designating it as a high-performing school that challenges students and staff to make the most of education.
"Any opportunity to learn more is embraced," Gdovic said. "Education is changing dramatically, and our staff is eager to learn. It's not just our students."
Evidence of the changing face of education is the district's advertising for two technology positions to keep up with advancing programs. The board approved establishing jobs for a full-time network administrator and computer technician.
"We have a limited staff to maintain the technology we do have," Gdovic said.
He pledged that the staff will continue to grow as classroom technology expands.

Ah, yes the taste of durian is always a pleasure and it was no different then as we happily ate as much as we could. Eating durian in a plantation surrounded by nature was a new experience to me.
The three of us, my cousin, his friend and I sat quietly in my cousin's as we made our way along the narrow winding road to Lee's house. Lee is a friend of mine. He looks after his father's durian plantation near a small country town.
We found him on his motorcycle waiting for us just about a mile from the town. We greeted each other and then we followed him into a bumpy uneven late – rite road that led to the plantation.
A mile into the densely wooded area we reached the plantation itself. We got out of the car and breathed in the cool country air. Immediately mosquitoes started to attack us. We started hitting them. Also I could hear the sound of insects and other living things of nature.
Lee led us into the plantation. It was situated on the slope of a hill and covered an area of about five acres. I could see huge majestic durian trees all around us. On every tree I could see scores of fruits hanging from the branches.
We walked up the slope among the durian trees. I felt a bit uneasy having so many spiky durians hanging above me. I asked Lee whether the durians might fall on someone below. He replied that the trees were intelligent and such a thing would not happen. However I was not convinced and I avoided walking under any hanging durian as far as possible.
A quarter ways up the slope we came upon a shed. Here was where Lee and a friend of his sat and waited for the durians to drop from the trees. They had already collected a number of durians. Lee opened a few and invited us to eat.
Ah, yes the taste of durian is always a pleasure and it was no different then as we happily ate as much as we could. Eating durian in a plantation surrounded by nature was a new experience to me. It was indeed wonderful.
Crash! I was started by a loud crashing sound that completely shattered the peace of the plantation. Then I realized a durian must have just dropped from a tree. Lee's friend headed towards the direction of the sound. Soon he returned with a spiky fruit which he nonchalantly tosses among the collected ones.
Never in my life had I ate so much durian as I did on the plantation. Feeling a bit full I had to stop eating. My cousin and his friend seemed to have larger stomachs than I. So they continued to eat.
After we had enough to eat, Lee took us on a guided tour of the plantation. It was hard work walking up slope. Things were not made easier by bushes, grass and occasional holes. Anyway it was good exercise after a grand feast. I marveled at the height of the durian trees. Some of them must be about a hundred feet or thirty meters tall.
Coming down the slope was far easier than going up and soon we were at the foot of the hill again. We thanked Lee profusely. He invited us to come again. We promised we would. Then we got into the car and returned home. It had been a great visit to the durian plantation.

Raunchy 'Bachelorette' is a funny but flawed wedding comedy
FILM A movie called Bachelorette is inevitably going to be accused of riding Bridesmaids' coattails, even if — as it happens — Bachelorette's source-material play was written years before the 2011 comedy hit theaters.
A coincidence, to say the least, but also a hat tip to the zeitgeist. Bachelorette's title evokes not just Bridesmaids, but also TV's wretchedly addicting The Bachelorette — as well as the wedding-industrial complex, which remains at frenzied heights, recession be damned (I blame Pinterest).
Bachelorette playwright turned scriptwriter-director Leslye Headland may also count herself among the current crop of female writers and directors who are bringing incisive, women-centric entertainment to pop culture's forefront: Kristin Wiig and Annie Mumolo (Oscar nominees for penning Bridesmaids), Tina Fey, Diablo Cody, and Lena Dunham among them. The latter three's Mean Girls (2004), Young Adult (2011), and HBO show Girls, respectively, share themes with Bachelorette, an imperfect film that nonetheless does a good job portraying women who are repulsive in realistic ways.
Imagine Young Adult's Mavis broken into three parts, stripped of her complexities but with her bad habits intact; you'd more or less have Regan (Kirsten Dunst), Gena (Lizzy Caplan), and Katie (Isla Fisher). A decade ago, they were the popular "B-Faces" at their high school and haven't matured much since. Competitive Regan is a Type A blonde; Gena's the queen of one-night stands; and Katie's a self-destructive party girl. All of them are pushing 30, and though Regan's the most functional among them, she's the hardest-hit when she learns that Becky (Bridesmaids' Rebel Wilson), always treated as a second-tier B-Face by virtue of being plus-sized, is engaged. "I was supposed to be first," Regan wails via three-way cell call to Gena and Katie, who're sympathetic to this sense of entitlement.
The wedding is a fancy New York City affair, so the B-Faces reunite for what they think will be a bachelorette party for the ages. Most of the film takes place during that single night, a madcap, coke-fueled, mean-spirited spiral into chaos that puts Becky's wedding dress in peril and sees Gena sparring with the high-school boyfriend (Adam Scott) she's never forgiven or forgotten, Katie OD'ing, and Regan locking horns with the irritatingly hot best man, who also happens to be a complete douchebag (James Marsden). Nothing that transpires is as funny as the high points of The Hangover (2009), though Bachelorette is unafraid to match that film's raunch factor.
That's not to say the film lacks any laughs. The scenarios they get themselves into may be exaggerated, but the women themselves often feel unusually true to life. Headland's dialogue sounds like real people talking (overlapping, snarking), and the script is loaded with 1990s pop-culture references, which makes sense, since the characters are nostalgic for their teenage glory days. Bachelorette also delves into thornier issues — eating disorders, unplanned pregnancies, drug abuse, raging jealousy — that groups of close female friends often grapple with.

Not the quality I expected
Review Date:12.13.2014
Fit is tight through the chest. The hem is coming loose from the bottom of the shirt, after the first wash. I expected better quality being made in USA.
Nice littel Polo Shirt!
Review Date:9.19.2014
I am impressed very much with this Polo! It is very affordable. The prices are very comparable to other Polo Shirts at Department Stores and online. The fabric is a nice medium weight, the colors did not bleed the first time I washed it and it DID NOT SHRINK the first time I washed it. I've never had that happen in a Cotton Polo. I would like to see a bigger variety of colors in this style -- there are only three. That's why I rated only 4*. They are great shirts for everyday and work wear. Hooray

I checked the water hoses and no leaks. When turn it on it is leaking from up against the motor where the fan turns. So you think its the water pump. Is the water pump hard to uninstall. Sent me a picture or diagram of it to my email at badboyrod75@yahoo. Com Thanks
October 14, 2011.

Yes it's probably a water pump leak, her eis the picture. You 'll need a special wrench to get the fan off.
Thank you my friend. What is that special tool called for the fan.
Thank you.
When the water pump starts leaking from the seal it usually is in the back. There is a little hole there. If you don't have the tool to take the fan blade off you can put tension on the belt so it won't turn when you take the fan bolts off. Over the years I have found that you might want to think about also changing the thermastat at the same time. It's just a general practice I have learned over the years.

02 TB, changed out my water pump a year and a half ago and since the start of this past summer, I have been have hesitation problems(cam position silonoid issues) and the smell of radiator fluid. So I disassembled agian just last week to remove and check the pump and decided to replace it since it was warrantied and looked to be leaking. But I have had a suspicion and now I am for certian it is the housing cover on the block itself that the pump is bolted to. Ever seen this happening before, looks like the rubber sealant has failed and the water is seeping out near the alternator. The image above shows the cover with all the bolts on the block, HELP!

A couple months after that she again compalined about smelling anti freeze. I could not find out where it was so took it to a garage. They found it was the seal behind the timing chain cover had a small pressure leak. They had to take the front of the engine apart to get at it. Never thought it would have been leaking that far back.

Florida dismisses DT Marcus Thomas
Bob McClellan
Rivals.com College Football
� Florida 25, Vanderbilt 19
NASHVILLE � Florida senior defensive tackle Marcus Thomas has been booted off the team.
Coach Urban Meyer declined to discuss the reason for Thomas' dismissal after the seventh-ranked Gators beat Vanderbilt 25-19 Saturday.
Thomas did not make the trip to Nashville. Florida co-defensive coordinator Charlie Strong said the team was told Friday that Thomas had been dismissed.
At the start of the fourth quarter, a statement from Meyer was released in the press box. It read simply: "Marcus did not meet his responsibilities and obligations to remain on the team." Meyer referred to the statement when asked further questions after the game.
Thomas missed the season opener because of a suspension for failing a drug test during the summer. He also served a two-game suspension midseason for a failed drug test, though Thomas claimed both suspensions were for the same failed test.
Thomas had started all five games in which he has been available. He was second on the Gators' sack list with four. He had 26 tackles, 5.5 for loss.
"We just made them aware (Friday), and probably some of them knew," Strong said. "I feel bad for the young man because of the talent he has."
Florida's defensive players were mum on Thomas.
"It hurts, but we have to focus on the season and keep moving," defensive end Derrick Harvey said.

CINCINNATI -- How long will you live?
The City of Cincinnati's Health Department says the key to finding out could lie in your neighborhood and some leaders believe neighborhoods need to change in order for that number to improve.
The average Cincinnatian lives to be 76 years old, but the odds are better if you live in Mount Lookout, Paddock Hills or Mount Adams. The life expectancy there is 87 or 88 years, which is about 20 years longer than the expected life span in South Fairmount and Lower Price Hill.
INTERACTIVE: New data shows how life expectancy in Cincinnati varies between poorer and wealthier neighborhoods
"It's a measure of the health and social progress," Dr. Noble Maseru, City of Cincinnati Health Commissioner said.
So what's impacting how long people live? The group says access to grocery stores, healthy food, infant mortality, income and crime are all factors.
Amber Maiden, 20, walks everywhere from her home in Lower Price Hill, where the life expectancy is only 67 years. Her closest grocery is about two miles away in Price Hill.
"To get to the grocery I walk or pay my father-in-law to drive us," Maiden said. "He lives in Sayler Park so he comes all the way here to take us where we need to go so we don't have to walk with the baby."
Maiden has a nine-month-old baby boy.
"All the drugs, violence, prostitution. I just don't think it's right for all the kids down here," Maiden said
She is excited to move her family to Sayler Park, where the life expectancy jumps to 74 years.
"I don't really like it down here, since January my mom got killed right up the street from where I live by her boyfriend," Maiden said.
While her family is still in Lower Price Hill she says she's making the move for her son.
In his comments, Dr. Victor Garcia, founder of the Trauma Center at Cincinnati Children's said, "nothing stops a bullet, like a job."
One of the goals is to decrease joblessness in the neighborhoods.
"Intentionally creating businesses in the urban core to address the the poverty that exists and that I think is the root cause of not only child health but also adult health issue," Garcia said.

COLLEGE STATION — Kenny Hill texted his family the news Saturday afternoon — the Southlake Carroll graduate has been tabbed Texas A&M's starting quarterback for the season opener Aug. 28 at South Carolina.
The sophomore edged true freshman Kyle Allen in a competition to replace 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, though coach Kevin Sumlin said the battle will continue. After equal repetitions, two weeks of practice and three scrimmages, Sumlin and offensive coordinator Jake Spavital made the decision Saturday morning, told the players that afternoon and then made the Hill pick public in the evening.
"I'll say he was nervous," said Ken Hill, Kenny's father and a former major league pitcher, on the sidelines before Saturday's practice. "I've been here the last couple weeks watching practice. I just kept positive and told him, 'I think you're doing good. Just keep doing what you're doing. Stay consistent and make the right reads.'
"Me personally, I thought Kyle had a good camp. I thought he played really well. … Coach makes the decision, and I'm just happy it's Kenny."
Hill, 6-1, 215, has not yet been made available to the media and may not hold interviews before the season opener. Allen, 6-3, 205, falls under Sumlin's rule prohibiting freshmen from doing interviews.
Sumlin credits the nip-and-tuck competition between Hill and Allen for accelerating the play of both during camp, when the coaches emphasized testing how the QBs would respond in a range of situations. Both plugged into an offense that has led the SEC in total offense the last two seasons and ranked fourth in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2013.
"There's not really one deciding factor," Sumlin said. "It's a body of work and a feel you have. ... Both guys are going to still keep the competition going, that's the way to approach it."
Now the coach who's worked with great quarterbacks from Drew Brees to Sam Bradford to Case Keenum to Manziel will have to find a delicate balance: Keep the competition alive, but make Hill comfortable at the same time.
Sumlin said he told Allen: "You're one snap away from playing, whether that's from subpar play in front of you or injury. Your preparation can't slack off. That competition will keep both guys getting better."
Hill ran Saturday's first practice with the first team.
Hill backed up Manziel last season, going 16 of 22 for 183 yards and a touchdown in four games. He rushed for 37 yards on seven carries. He overcame a suspension during the spring season after a public intoxication charge. Spavital recently said Hill entered camp with a clean slate.
"You can tell it was an eye-opener," Spavital said. "He made a mistake, he's young and that's tough for a 19-year-old kid to go through and get scrutinized."
Hill has been credited for his ability to move the team at the Aggies' desired quick tempo, bringing athleticism and a quick release. He started three years at QB factory Carroll, which runs a similar offense to A&M's, and was named Class 5A offensive player of the year in 2012.
Allen, of Scottsdale, Ariz., enrolled at A&M in January to go through the spring and have a better chance to compete for the starting job. One of the top-ranked quarterback recruits in the nation, he has impressed with his strong arm and ability to throw deep. Redshirting is not an option for Allen. A&M lost an experienced backup option when Matt Joeckel transferred to TCU.
Carroll coach Hal Wasson has lauded Hill for his composure, and A&M coaches believe Hill has enough of that quality to lead the Aggies into South Carolina in a dozen days. The Gamecocks are picked to win the SEC East and have won 18 straight at Williams-Brice Stadium.
"Kenny's played in big venues," Ken Hill said. "I'm not worried about that aspect of it. … He worked very hard this summer, and I'm glad they've got the confidence in him to lead the team."
The competitors:
Kenny Hill
6-1, 215
Southlake Carroll
Notable: Lauded for athleticism and composure. Entered the competition not only with a season of experience behind Johnny Manziel but having run a similar offense at Carroll. Game action came vs. Sam Houston State, SMU, Vanderbilt and UTEP, so is not yet proven in college when pressure is on.
Kyle Allen
6-3, 205
Scottsdale, Ariz. (Desert Mountain High)
Notable: A&M coaches love that he enrolled in January and wanted to compete for the starting job as a true freshman. Threw for more than 8,000 yards and 86 touchdowns in high school. Strong-armed and savvy.

What are the most obvious examples of greed in The Great Gatsby, and how does this "deadly sin" ruin lives?
2 Answers | Add Yours
F. Scott Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby satirizes the materialism of what Fitzgerald himself named the Jazz Age. Indeed, the characters worship at the altar of greed: Daisy's voice sounds like money and she has been purchased as a wife for a $350,000 pearl necklace;Tom Buchanan brings dozens of polo ponies with him from Chicago to East Egg and proudly displays his property to his guests; Jay Gatsby re-creates himself and amasses a fortune merely for the sake of having one to display to win back the past and Daisy; he offers his rewards for his illegal greed by hosting lavish parties where no one knows any one else, parties which Jordan Baker describes as "so intimate" because "there isn't any privacy." Meyer Wolfshiem sells his soul for gambling upon the World Series; Jordan cheats in order to win golf tournaments and prizes; Mrytle Wilson gives herself as human sacrifice to the false pretenses of money.
After the death of Mrytle Wilson, Jay Gatsby is the only rich man who demonstrates compassion for anyone else, causing Nick to remark that he is "worth the whole damn bunch," of the "careless people" whose immoral materialism and greed are incurable.
I would consider the most obvious example that of Daisy who wasn't capable of waiting until Gatsby got back from Europe and needed to feel the comfort and security of great wealth. This was at least part of the reason she was attracted to Tom and it could certainly be argued that it ruined not only her life but Gatsby's as well.
Gatsby's greed and hunger for things he cannot have, such as the approval of Daisy and her crowd that can only come from having old money, or for Daisy herself leads to ruin for Gatsby and for Daisy in some ways. You might also make the argument that it leads to ruin for Wilson and Myrtle as their great conflict leads at least in part to Myrtle's death on the road.

'It's About Time' to learn iPhoto covers using the crop tool, sharing photos with friends, import or delete photos from a camera, and more.

The tool guides users through each lesson in three steps to cover what features will be discussed, demonstrating the task visually, and finally interactively performing the step. 'It's About Time' to learn iPhoto is priced at $15.

"We have a lot of bright young people coming out of graduate programs that are not getting the same opportunities that people had 20 years ago," she says. "It used to be that 20 years ago you could walk into an assistance administrative role and essentially be in the C-Suite in some role. Now you are lucky to get a director-level position for one department."
Genser says most current CEOs were younger than 35 when they landed their first leadership jobs. "If you look now at the number of people who are CEOs under 35 it is a very small number," she says. "In that time, I will grant you, healthcare has become more complex. But I also think people are reluctant to give those responsibilities to younger people as fast as they were given them themselves."
In addition, she says, the consolidation of the hospital sector is "radically" changing the role of the C-Suite and that could make it harder to find well-rounded and experienced senior leadership in the coming years.
"For example a hospital finance position, which before had responsibility for debt and treasury and bond issuances and even revenue cycle, may be part of a system now where all of those things are corporate," she says. "So, in some functional areas there is going to be a shortage, particularly of independent CFOs who can go the whole gamut."
"That is true even for CEOs who are probably called presidents in some of these systems. They are really more like operating officers," Genser says. "We are seeing a shift in the whole dynamic of organizational structures and where that is going. There will always be good talent. The question is can you attract it based on how you are structured if you need to go outside your organization? Or, can you grow and build it and develop it inside your own organization?"

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis With Disease-Modifying Drugs (DMARDs)
In this article
DMARD Side Effects and Use continued...
Biologic drugs: Actemra (tocilizumab),Enbrel (etanercept), Humira (adalimumab), Kineret (anakinra), Orencia (abatacept), Remicade(infliximab), Rituxan (rituximab), Cimzia (certolizumab), and Simponi (golimumab). These are the newest drugs for RA and are either injected under the skin or given directly into a vein. They work by neutralizing the immune system's signals that lead to joint damage. When used with methotrexate, these medicines help most people with rheumatoid arthritis. These drugs are thought to have fewer side effects than other DMARDs. One side effect is the risk for potentially severe infections. These medicines can also, although rarely, adversely affect your liver or blood counts. Other potential long-term effects won't be known until the drugs have been used by patients for many years.
Neoral (cyclosporine) is a powerful drug that often works well in slowing down joint damage. But because it can hurt the kidneys and has other potential side effects, it is usually used for severe RA after other drugs fail.
Imuran (azathioprine) is used for many different inflammatory conditions, including RA. The most common side effects are nausea and vomiting, sometimes with stomach pain and diarrhea. Long-term use of azathioprine is associated with an increased risk of cancer.
Xeljanz (tofacitinib)is a type of drug called a JAK inhibitor. It is often used in people who no longer respond to methotrexate. The drug comes as a pill taken twice a day. But because it inhibits immune responses, Xeljanz adds to a person's risk of serious infections, cancers, and lymphoma. The drug will carry a "black box" warning about these risks.
DMARDs slow down rheumatoid arthritis and improve quality of life for most people. Some will even achieve a remission while taking them. More commonly, the disease activity continues, but at a slower, less intense pace.
While taking one or more DMARDs, you may have longer symptom-free periods, or flare ups that are less painful or stressful. Your joints may take less time to loosen up in the morning. At a check-up, your rheumatologist may end up telling you that your most recent X-rays are free of any new damage. Taking a DMARD regularly makes you less likely to have long-term damage to your joints, too.

Babylon 5 Telepath Wars, this is how it starts...
For those of you who've read the
Telepath Trilogy
, this won't come as too much of a surprise. As the first book's burb reads:
The year is 2115. Shock waves follow in the wake of astonishing news: science has proven the existence of telepaths.
In the book, it turns out that suddenly, out of the blue, in those randomized psychology experiments, there suddenly emerge genuine,
bona fide
Well, it's all fun and games, until
this shit gets real
knowledge of unpredictable future events
... the fringe phenomenon is about to get a mainstream airing: a paper providing evidence for its existence has been accepted for publication by the leading social psychology journal.
What's more, sceptical psychologists who have pored over a preprint of the paper say they can't find any significant flaws
Begun, the Telepath Wars, have.
trust in the harper.
the harper is good.
