The Retro-Fit Box (Model 400 & 500)
The Dryer Vent Box for Existing Construction and 2 X 6 Walls
Message From the Inventor
I ask that you look over this page carefully prior to ordering to determine that you are comfortable with installing it and that you have done the necessary investigation work. This installation can be readily accomplished with equal measures of patience and care
. To minimize the need to send it back, I ask that you make certain there are no obstacles and that there is sufficient room for its proper installation. To do this, cut an observation hole of about 8" x 8" in the proximity of the installation.

All standard American clothes dryers have an exhaust port in the center of the rear panel at the very bottom. Cut an 8" square investigation hole in the drywall near the center of the proposed appliance and about 10" off the floor. Cut the investigation hole carefully as you may discover that installing your Retro-Fit box will not be practical due to unknown obstacles or situations.
Hold blade at an angle (aiming to center) when cutting to make it easier to reinstall the drywall cut-out if installation is not practical. Proceed to step 2 if install is possible.
Locate and cut investigation hole
No template is included, so you may want to trace the outer edges of the Retro-Fit box and then by-hand, transfer an imaginary line about 7/8" in from that on the two sides and about 3/8" on the top.
If you can hold it off the floor about 3/8" it will assist with the installation later. But not too much, as we hope to caulk the gap at the bottom or have the future flooring material cover it.
Preferred installation is port up, although it will work lying on its side. Turning box upside down (port down) will not provide adequate storage and recoil space for flex connector pipe and is discouraged (unless it is a stackable washer / dryer).
Trace and hand pencil cut-line
Cut out your hand drawn cut-line on the drywall and cut the original trace line over the baseboard. This will allow the Retro-Fit box to be installed against the drywall. Note the notch in the lower left picture.
Remember to hold it a bit above the finish floor, just enough for caulk or grout. The higher we can install the box, the easier it will be to install.
Cut drywall and baseboard to accept the Retro-Fit box
Mark and cut the galvanized Snaplock pipe about 1 3/4" from the lower edge of the drywall. Using a Dremel or roto-disk cut-off blade will probably be the easiest.
Attempting to cut it with a hack-saw is out of the question. A long metal cutting blade on a reciprocating saw might work but try to get a Dremel.
Always wear eye protection
Cut 4" Snaplock pipe about 1 3/4" from drywall edge
As you initialize the guiding of the duct pipe through the port, put the guide tool through the back of the oval and slide the box up and into the drywall cutout until you have some of the front of the duct protruding through the oval and the back of the duct resting against the guide.
Wedge the back of the duct forward until it is flush with the port. This will force the back of the duct to deform to the shape of the oval and the front of the duct to do the same.
Next, work the dryerbox into the cutout and adjust the duct through the oval as needed. Once the back side of the duct is through the oval you can remove the guide tool.
Crimp & twist end to narrow pipe a bit
Once you get the pipe through the top port, work on getting the Retro-Fit box all the way against the drywall. Use drywall screws or self-tapping screws to secure the bottom of the Retro-Fit box to the bottom plate. Fastening the bottom to the bottom plate is actually all the affixing you will need as the Snaplock pipe holds the top of the box firmly against the drywall. Un-crimp the Snaplock pipe and make sure it has no burrs or obstructions. Caulk the baseboard cuts and any gaps. Put your tools away and grab a beer.
Attach with screws and caulk where needed,
click image to enlarge
When installing in an exterior frame wall, make sure to add insulation or duct board to back side of box to minimize condensation and temperature transfer.
The Snaplock pipe can be vented straight up to a roof jack, to a side-wall vent hood or downwards to a crawlspace or floor joist system. Width of box and width of Snaplock pipe will facilitate 16" o.c. stud spacing. Do not turn the box upside down unless it is being used for a stackable washer/dryer combo or a dryer on a pedastal.

Ask anyone in the insurance industry about McCarron and Ferguson and few will be able to provide an answer. In 1945m /Congress passed the McCarron Ferguson Act which allowed states to regulate the business of insurance. It exempted insurance companies from following federal antitrust laws. The implication was that states were better suited to establish the rules affecting insurance transactions.
Since the demographics for each state sometimes differ greatly, trying to apply the same rules in each state can cause a disparity that harms the consumers. For example, when it comes to earthquake coverage, those states known for frequent quakes might have more stringent eligibility requirements. Commercial buildings might require retrofitting. In a state that rarely has any earthquakes, requiring retrofitting might be an unreasonable expense for a business. Since there are no uniform standards for retrofitting, there are no guarantees that structures won't collapse anyway.
Health insurance appears to be the most contentious of insurance issues. Claims that being able to purchase coverage across state lines to obtain better coverage at a lower cost doesn't mean much. The ultimate determiner of premium costs is claims costs. Not all doctors and hospitals charge the same. A doctor in Beverly Hills will charge more than the doctor in Oshkosh because the cost of doing business is higher. Salaries, rent, services provided fluctuate from location to location. If the premiums ramain the same for all insureds regardless of where they live, someone is subsidizing the cost for others.
Under Obamacare, actuarial statistics seem to be ignored. For example, young people tend to have fewer claims than older people. Older people tend to have 7 times the cost of claims as younger people. However, under Obamacare, the premiums for older people can only be 3 times that as for younger people. The result is that young people are subsidizing the cost for older people. Considering that younger people are just starting out in their careers and make less in salaries than older folk, this does not seem fair. It's like a double whammy against our young people.
The intent of the McCarron Ferguson Act was to keep insurance from being subject to various federal laws such as the Sherman Antitrust Act. Lawyers have put forth their arguments concerning the consitutionality of Obamacare. The Supreme Court rules that it was a tax and therefore subject to federal regulation. The upshot of all this is that there are still about 50 million people without health insurance. So the cost of putting this together might have been better spent by letting the states come up with their own solutions to providing health care.
Now most of the states have turned the exchanges over to the federal government to handle. How this will affect the health care of the consumers will be determined in the months and years to come. The economic cost to the country is greater than had been anticipated and appears to have slowed down any recovery. Maybe next time, more thought will be given to massive changes. Maybe states will be given the opportunity to help their own citizens.

Seems that there is a special shim being made for Athlon MP processors, and Cooler Guys is making them. Head on over to Iamnotageek.com and see what they have to say about the Cooler Guys Athlon MP Shim. here's a snip:
"Shims are nothing new but this is the first Athlon MP shim I yet to see. It is available from the Cooler Guys. For those of you who are unfamiliar with shims they are designed to prevent your core from being damaged when installing or removing a heatsink. They do this by creating a level surface with the core, this prevents the heatsink from rocking to one side or the other and from chip away at the edges of the core."

Jesus that thing is fast
@poppachook A C63 can do more than 190mph, it is limited to 155mph, but i can go a lot more than that.
@poppachook 187 MPH is more than 300 kph….
@poppachook 190mph is actually almost 306kph.
oh my god
The policecar is not a Saab9000 It is a Saab 9-5 turbo
@chrisgurule I live where that took place. The policecar is not a Saab 9000 It is a sabb 9-5 turbo with regisrtation RYS 175. But they don´t use that anymoore.
This not MPH
is Km/h
in europe use Km/h
This not MPH
is Km/h
in europe use Km/h…
@poppachook 187mph is pretty spot on 300km/h.
187 MPH is just over 300KP/H
@poppachook Production of the Lotus carlton started in 1990 not 1987 mate and top speed was around 178 mph and not the 190 mph you stated.
My one can do 186 mph and 0-60 in 4.8
@poppachook well mine does so get eatin
audi b8cabrio
@poppachook What?
Lotus Carlton
bye bye lotus =) epic
bye bye lotus =) epic
@cheryltweedyismint have you been looking on Wikipedia? that site is rubbish. 90% lies.
@cheryltweedyismint it is tru that it was 1990 they started making the "MASS PRODUCED" version but the first Lotus Carlton arrived from Lotus in 1987. but to say that that is the one that is in this video is preposterous. and the fact is that i have driven a Lotus Carlton when i visited Lotus and the official top speed is 175mph but in reality it goes 189mph at least.
@cheryltweedyismint and that is if you push everything it got.
No I didnt look on wikipedia. I havent lied when saying production started in 1990 because it did ! The first one probably did arrive in 1987 but was a one off or concept. What you say about the Lotus Carltons top speed is pretty much the same for any other car….What Im saying is the manufacturers top speed claims are never accurate. Besides I couldnt really give a fuck
speeded up but either way it blitzd the copper car…hmmm reminds me of the early 90's

Zelda Motion have started work on a web based Anime based on The Legend of Zelda Link to the Past manga by Akira Himekawa. The anime features the voice talents of Vic Mignogna (Full Metal Achemist, Dragonball Z), Kira Buckland (Castle Crashers), Todd Haberkorn (D-Grayman), and Kent Williams Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood).
Thus far, all of this voice work has already been recorded and is now being synchronized with the animation. The Legend of Zelda Link to the Past anime is also being distributed by Aeipathy Industries. Nintendo is not involved with the project in any form or fashion, but it's nice to see a fanmade project come to life. A trailer is set to be released in the coming weeks, so stay tuned, as a sneak peak of this anime is on the way.
source:: comicbookmovie
This is going to be killed so hard. I remember watching a full-length Zelda movie a couple of years back. Nintendo killed it with fire. It was an excellent adventure film.
That was because the people who made that film tried to make profit from the movie and that's illegal since they didn't own the rights to the Zelda franchise.
If the creators of this anime decide to put a price tag on this anime, then that will be an issue but if they don't, I don't see any problems.

Edge of the Woods farm offers pony rides and petting zoos that travel to you! I found out they also have a 4-H club for ponies, one for mini-ponies and now one for Breyer horses. I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

Suppose that most of the global mean surface warming in the past half century was due to internal variability rather than external forcing, contrary to one of the central conclusions in the IPCC/AR4/WG1 Summary for Policymakers. Let's think about the implications for ocean heat uptake. Considering the past half century in this context is convenient because we have direct, albeit imprecise, estimates of ocean heat uptake over this period.
Set the temperature change in question, , equal to the sum of a forced part and an internal variability part: , with , so is the fraction of the temperature change that is forced. The assumption is that this is a linear superposition of two independent pieces, so I'll write the heat uptake as .
When the surface of the Earth warms due to external forcing, we expect the Earth to take up heat. But what do we expect when the surface warms due to internal variability? Can we use observations of heat uptake to constrain ?

Hummingbirds (Trochilidae)
Blue-tailed Hummingbird (Saucerottia cyanura) - HBW 5, p. 604
French: Ariane à queue bleue
German: Blauschwanzamazilie
Spanish: Amazilia Coliazul
Taxonomy: Amazilia cyanura Gould, 1859, Realejo, Nicaragua.
Genus usually merged into Amazilia. Forms a superspecies with S. beryllina; reports of hybridization in a small zone of sympatry in Guatemala and El Salvador seem to be unproven, and may be erroneously based on variable tail coloration of that species. In recent literature only two races have been recognized, with impatiens from Costa Rica ignored, perhaps because only two specimens exist; however, morphological characters indicate that it should be considered valid. Races show highly disjunct distribution. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- guatemalae Dearborn, 1907 - SE Mexico (SE Chiapas) to S Guatemala.
- cyanura (Gould, 1859) - S Honduras, E El Salvador and NW Nicaragua.
- impatiens Bangs, 1906 - NW & C Costa Rica.

Organizational Tools for School
Students with ASD often have a very uneven learning profile. For example, they may have excellent long-term and rote memory abilities but have executive function deficits. Executive function challenges can include difficulties with general organization and planning skills, problems with impulsivity and problem-solving, and challenges with goal completion. Common learning challenges and possible accommodations and supports include:
The Do2Learn website offers many free downloads and examples of visual strategies for organization and support. This web-based resource was launched in 1996 through a National Institutes of Health Small Business Innovative Research grant and has expanded to include many pages of social skills and behavioral regulation activities and guidance, learning songs and games, communication cards, academic material, and transition guides for employment and life skills.

For many deploying soldiers, there are many worries - making sure their families will be taken care of, making financial arrangements, and making plans in case the worst happens. The last thing most soldiers with vision problems want to deal with is worrying about their glasses or contacts, especially if they head into a country like Iraq, where the conditions are less than ideal for soldiers wearing contact lenses. However, soldiers in Iowa are being given laser eye surgery to alleviate some of those concerns.
According to Maj. Mike Wunn of the Iowa National Guard, "Afghanistan, Iraq, places like that, they're dusty and they're dirty. Soldiers don't always have access to the best sanitation conditions." Tess Young of the Iowa Academy of Opthamology adds, "There is what they call moon dust that permeates everything in Afghanistan, and contacts are virtually impossible." Wunn continues, "If you have glasses, that can interfere with the protective eyewear. If you're wearing a protective mask, it can interfere with that."
Fortunately, doctors with the skill to perform eye surgery like LASIK have stepped forward to help. According to Dr. Chris Haupert of West Des Moines, "All of the laser eye surgeons across the state have come together and agreed to participate in the program and provide that surgery at a discount for the Iowa National Guard troops."
The surgeries are discounted, but some expenses still do occur. The surgeons have applied for another $50,000 grant to make the procedures even cheaper, but they need online votes to win the grant. People can learn more at the Sight for Soldiers website.

Allie's hair took to the Curl Enhancing Smoothie like a champ at first application. Giving her twistout great moisture, softness & definition. I wanted to love Shea Moisture and be able to rave about its great price point, ingredients and results, but those pesky white balls in my hair were not making it look good for the home team.
After my second failed attempt, I remember a Red Stick Naturals meetup attendee mentioned that she mixes her CES in order to get the glorious results she sported that day. I forgot what all she used for her mix, but I do remember her mentioning both of our beloved Eco Styler Gel.
In preparation for family photo session I sweated at the idea of trying just once more. Did I have other product options? Yes, but I refused to lose to cream in a jar! lol I threw on my mixtress hat and went to work.
CurlyHue's EcoSheaSouffle'
- Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie
- Shea Moisture Curling Souffle'
- Eco Styler Gel (my favorite is the olive oil version, but I just used some Krystal I had around the house)
- In a bowl or empty jar add 1 Tbsp, Curl Enhancing Smoothie
- 1 Tbsp Curling Souffle' (optional)
- 4 Tbsps. Eco Styler Gel
- Mix well ( the mixture will be white even when applied, but once dried it will disappear)
- Apply to the hair (I shingled it onto each section of my freshly washed wet hair, then twisted)
- Let dry
Note: The Curling souffle' is optional, because I believe that the primary ingredients are the CES & Eco Styler

The controversy caused by leaked scenes of a level of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 where the player mows down innocent civilians at a Russian airport has done nothing to slow sales of the much-anticipated game. Released worldwide on November 10, the game has set an all-time entertainment industry record, grossing an estimated US$550 million in its first five days.Read More
Cloud computing is a concept that has been touted as the next generation technology for some time and with major players such as Google, Microsoft and Apple now heartily embracing the idea it seems its time has finally come. While the advantages of the approach have long been recognized, the Internet speeds required to make it feasible have meant that cloud computing has remained a blip on the horizon until recently. But with high speed connections becoming more and more available around the world companies are rushing to get on the cloud bandwagon lest they be left behind and miss out on the 'next big thing'. And it's not just the standard office applications like word processing, spreadsheets and databases that are making the move. The world of gaming could also be headed for a shake up as Palo Alto-based OnLive tests the water in providing on-demand games streaming over a broadband connection.Read More

The new entry-level bundle will replace the aging Xbox 360 Core bundle, and while it remains hard drive-less, it includes a much smaller Memory Unit - which isn't big enough for downloading high-definition TV episodes from the Xbox Live Video Marketplace, but will suffice to save your progress in games, and download new titles from the Xbox Live Arcade.Read More
April 30, 2007 As you might imagine, we're surrounded with technology at the Gizmag office...and we thought we'd learned to do a pretty good job of soldiering on despite all the distractions the wired lifestyle brings. Alas, those times are over now, and we refer to the period as BG (Before Guitar Hero). For the uninitiated, Guitar Hero is rock and roll condensed into a video game, complete with plastic guitar controller and a drummer who always turns up to practice on time (and doesn't hit on your girlfriend). The original Playstation 2 game sold over one million units in its first year, and the sequel sold over 1.3 million units in 2006 - 800,000 in December alone - and it's hooked everyone from the neighbors seven-year-old to members of the prog-rock super-group Tool. Now it's here on the Xbox 360 in crisp 720p resolution with 10 additional tracks - if you've listened to guitar music at all in the last thirty years, read on for the full review, video and track list.Read More

Hi-tech communication is a big part of life for software developer Dan Sumption... But for the month of August he's taken a vow of social media silence.
Dan, who helped to create BBC iPlayer and is currently working on ITV Player, has managed to kick his Twitter habit and tear himself away from Facebook – and it's all in aid of local charity SAFE@LAST, which works with young people at risk of running away.
Dan came up with the challenge as a result of his role as a foster carer. He and wife Gill have two teenage daughters, but have also shared their Sheffield home with around 20 other youngsters over the years.
"I can vouch for the fact that this charity can change the lives of vulnerable kids," he says.
Last year Dan raised £1,860 for them by cycling from London to Brussels; this year he wanted to do something even tougher.
"As anyone who follows me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram knows, this is a very big challenge. I post to each of those sites sometimes dozens of times a day, and check them even more often," he says.
To keep himself from cheating, he has removed all the relevant apps from his phone and installed blocker software to prevent him from taking a peek until September 1.
"I've missed chatting online with peopleI know, but the freedom and extra free time have been quite liberating," he admits.
"And it's reintroduced me to an old skill I'd almost forgotten – letter writing. I just wish I'd asked a few more people for their postal addresses before I cut myself off!"

I would like to prove that $A = \mathbb{C}[x,y,z]/(x^2+z^2-1, x^2-y^2-z^2)$ is an integral domain.
I feel that it would be easy enough to prove the denominator is prime using the techniques of Grobner bases, but my professor suggests another way. He says to consider the inclusions $\mathbb{C}[x]$ $\subset$ $B = \mathbb{C}[x,z]/(z^2-(1-x^2))$ $\subset$ $A$ and use a result which says that $k[x,y]/(y^2-f(x))$ is an integral domain if and only if $f(x)$ is not a square in $k[x]$. This shows $B$ is a domain, but here I get stuck. I consider $A=B[y]/(y^2 - (x^2-z^2))$ and I can see that the denominator is irreducible, but $B$ is not a UFD, so irreducible is not necessarily equivalent to prime. How should I proceed?

Paul McCartney was seen in new pictures in the UK Daily Mail June 18 taken on his birthday that day with his wife Nancy Shevell, Ringo's wife Barbara Bach, George Harrison's widow Olivia, Joe Walsh and wife Marjorie Bach (Barbara's sister and Ringo's sister-in-law), and Glenn Frey of the Eagles and his wife, Cindy Millican.
And unlike earlier pictures where he appeared tired, he's looking better and more like his old self. Can you all stop worrying now?
Double bill: Sean Lennon's The Ghostt of a Saber-Toothed Tiger is now on a series of dates with Beck. The dates cover the East Coast with two also in Canada and run through the end of June.
Price watch: It didn't take long. The Beatles mono vinyl box, which was priced on Amazon at over $400 when it was announced, has already dropped $25 to $375.
No U.S. tour: The Pete Best Band posted on their Facebook page June 20 that the U.S. tour they had been trying to negotiate has fallen through. "We have pulled the plug on the USA dates," their post read.
Give back his pictures: An online petition asking Maverick Music to return personal photos and video taken of George Harrison to his widow Olivia and son Dhani is online at Change.org. Maverick, which shows their Harrison items online, has a deposition given by George, personal photos and an unreleased recording of "Let It Be Me" among the items.
Snagged: The recently reported NBC Beatles miniseries doesn't have any music or likeness rights and also has a competing project from Sony Television, according to a report June 20 in Billboard, which said NBC execs called the report on the project "premature." Be interesting to see if it happens at all.
Chart news: For the second week in a row, the Beatles are nowhere to be found on the Billboard charts. However, Paul McCartney's April 25 Estadio National concert in Lima, Peru, made the latest Billboard Box Office chart at #25. The concert took in gross revenues of $2,776,690.
"Things We Said Today": On our next "Things We Said Today" Ken Michaels and yours truly will discuss the news of the release of the Beatles mono vinyl box, plus we'll do a special list for Paul McCartney's birthday. It'll premiere at noon ET Saturday on http://www.Fab4Radio.com, then repeat there at noon and midnight ET Sunday. You'll also find it later Saturday at the website at http://beatlesexaminer.podbean.com.

The Curiosity rover has now completed its third successful drilling, this time in Martian sandstone, it was announced yesterday, May 6, 2014, by NASA.
The rock target, called Windjana, is at the base of the Mount Remarkable butte. The previous two drillings, elsewhere in Gale crater at Yellowknife Bay, were in mudstone, and provided evidence for an ancient freshwater lake at that location. The conditions at the time would have been ideal for at least microbial life.
Interestingly, the powdered tailings created by the drill are significantly darker in this new drill hole than in the other two. It is thought, therefore, that the composition of this rock slab will be different than what was found in the mudstone. Powdered samples have already been delivered to the rover's on-board laboratory, so it is just a matter of waiting for the first results.
"The drill tailings from this rock are darker-toned and less red than we saw at the two previous drill sites," said Jim Bell of Arizona State University, Tempe. "This suggests that the detailed chemical and mineral analysis that will be coming from Curiosity's other instruments could reveal different materials than we've seen before. We can't wait to find out!" Bell is also the deputy principal investigator for Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam).
The new drill hole is 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter and 2.6 inches (6.5 centimeters) deep. Another smaller previous test hole can be seen next to it.
Curiosity is searching for organic material preserved in the rocks. Organics can occur either abiotically (without life) or can be the remains of previously living organisms. Only very small quantities have been found so far, but rock outcrops at the base of buttes or mesas are thought to be a better place to look for them. Any old organics near or on the surface in more open places would be destroyed by the harsh ultraviolet light hitting the surface.

Holiday dinners typically portray happy families gathered around a table loaded with baked hams, turkeys and the accompanying festive sides. However, this year Jackass star Steve-O wants people to think about the "peace and prosperity" that animal based meal actually represents. It is not the "happiest" time of the year for the animals in factory farms.
On a mission to end the painful suffering of billions of animals raised for food inside America's factory farms, Steve-O dares viewers to watch his new film, What Came Before," without flinching.
"I have a tough stomach, and I've put myself through a lot. But when I first found out what happens to animals on modern factory farms and in today's slaughterhouses, I wanted to throw up — I literally couldn't believe it," Steve-O said.
Check out Farm Sanctuary's new film short featuring narration by Steve-O, WATCH the film short here. WhatCameBefore.com.
In "What Came Before," Steve-O introduces Nikki, Symphony and Fanny, three animals who found refuge with Farm Sanctuary, the largest farm animal rescue and protection organization in the United States. During the film, Steve-O tells viewers an even more harrowing tale than the animals' escape stories… he tells people what came before the animals were rescued.
Steve-O takes viewers inside modern factory farms to see the suffering of these animals. "What Came Before" goes inside the horrifying world that constitutes these animals' pitiful lives. Into the world of Nikki, Symphony and Fanny, three animals born and bred for food on our holiday tables.
Steve-O hopes the film will change the way we look at what we eat.
"I narrated this video for Farm Sanctuary because I'm committed to doing what I can to show people all the disgusting things that happen to farm animals," Steve-O said. "I encourage everyone to make more compassionate choices."
Best known for inflicting pain on his cohorts and himself in the Jackass series, Steve-O's choice to narrate Farm Sanctuary's film is a marked departure from his usual filming fare.
"I love that when someone does a Google search for 'Steve-O explicit video,' that they're going to find 'What Came Before,' Steve-O said. "I hope a lot of them go vegetarian."
Farm Sanctuary has three shelters in New York and California to provide lifelong care for almost 1,000 rescued farm animals. These animals like Nikki, Symphony, and Fanny are ambassadors for the billions on factory farms who have no voice and no protection. Through their stories, Farm Sanctuary helps raise awareness about the harsh realities of factory farming.

Cup with the Madonna of Loreto
Loreto, c. 1700 - 1750
11.5cm (diameter)
tin-glazed earthenware (maiolica)
Around the exterior of the cup is the inscription CON.POL:ET.AQVA.DI.S.CASA: (with dust and water of the Holy House). On the underside is part of a red wax seal showing the Madonna of Loreto.
The shrine of the Virgin at Loreto, near Ancona, was built around the Santa Casa (Holy House), supposed to have been the house of the Virgin at the time of the Annunciation, miraculously carried from Nazareth to Loreto by angels. During the 14th and 15th centuries, the shrine, which also contained a venerated statue of the Virgin and the Santa Scodella (Holy Bowl) allegedly used by her, developed into one of the major pilgrimage centres of Europe. The miraculous powers of the shrine were held to be particularly efficacious against plague.
The bowl is painted with a scene of the Virgin and Child and the Santa Casa flying through clouds to Loreto; the iconography is similar to that of devotional broadsheets about the Loreto Madonna. Bowls of this sort were made for pilgrims, incorporating dust gathered at the site and water taken from the Santa Scodella. Some examples look stylistically similar to pieces made in Castelli, but it seems logical to suppose that most were made not far from Loreto.

On Friday October 28, 2011 ITVFest held its Halloween Hustle party at the Burgundy House in Hollywood. Co-Owners Ken Nicholas and Frank Zanca were dressed to impress for this fun filled evening. This party was the opening for their seventh annual television festival that is scheduled for July of 2012. The official submission process opened on October 15, 2011 and will run through April 20, 2012.
Halloween Hustle started off with a wonderful red carpet hosted by Wentworth Public Relations. Everyone that attended the event had the opportunity to strut their stuff and take some amazing photos with the celebrities in attendance. Some of those celebrities included, Martin Kove (Karate Kid, Cagney and Lacey, Rambo II), Vikki Lizzi(VH1, Celebrity Rehab), Linda Dona (General Hospital, Ricochet), Rock Riddle (Professional Wrestler), and Donald Glut best known for his script writing of GI Joe, Transformers, and the Novel The Empire Strikes Back. The Tim Russ band performed some of their amazing new songs and kept the crowd dancing to their awesome beats. Tim Russ is best known for his long running stint on Star Trek Voyager, as the ever-emotionless Vulcan Tuvok. Having moved into more of a directorial aspect in his career, he has time to be creative in not only the movie industry, but in his music as well. You may recently have seen him in his role on the television show iCarly, as Principal Franklin.
First, was the women's competition in which there were many interesting costumes to choose from. The crowd was very excited with all the options to vote for and the competition was close, but in the end Nefertiti the Egyptian won out. For the men's competition Reno 911 turned out to be the crowd favorite even winning out over a costume created by Lord of the Rings costume designer Ngila Dickson. The winners each received a $50.00 voucher for the Libertine or Burger Kitchen and software The Vegas Pro and Final Draft. The costume contest was a very competitive and exciting aspect of the event.
ITVFest also announced that they are taking their festival to a whole new level this next year, with the inclusion of Pop Con. The festival will now be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center and will include a four-day Pop Convention wrapped around the festival itself. There will be booths from film studios, celebrities, comics, and many other industries related to film and television. If you are a fan of Comic Con then you do not want to miss this all-new convention. There will be a fashion show directed by the talented Parris Harris, as well as live performances by some of today's newest artists. Panels with directors, producers, actors, casting directors, and various screenings will also be available during the festival.
You can submit your web, television, film, music video, pilot, talk show, and other projects at www.itvfest.org.

US Tour: Micah's diary day eight
- 19 July 2010 19:35
- Posted by Chris Bailey in Portland
Saturday night's win over Portland Timbers meant a day off on Sunday but that got cut short due to the fact that I slept in until 5pm.
All the lads are really tired after a week of hard double sessions and I don't think anyone was up for anything too strenuous though a couple of the coaches went for a game of golf I think.
Once I was up and about I joined up with Joe Hart and Adam Johnson and we left the oldies behind and went out for a meal to a really good restaurant that served a mixture of Thai and Chinese food. We tried to persuade Nedum to come out too but he was too tired.
After the meal we watched a film but I fell asleep as usual but it was great to have some down time and get out of the training gear for a day.
Pre-season is important and we know we have to work really hard because we want to be ready to start the season with a bang but the day off came at the exactly the right time to re-charge batteries before we head off to New York on Wednesday.
It was great to welcome Shaun Wright-Phillips back into the squad. He was beaming when he arrived, in really good form, and always lifts the place. That is one of the great things about this tour that lads are coming in at different times and there is always a new face to have some banter with.
SWP has had a wicked haircut that you probably see on the site after he has been interviewed and is extremely chilled out and raring to go.
Kolo Toure too has arrived back after delayed flights and a complicated journey that he said took him all over the place but he too always has a smile on his face and has the kind if infectious personality that everyone takes to.
We will see if the two new lads are still so happy after their first double session. I'll let you know next time.

There are so many great classic horror TV out there from "Dark Shadows" to the "X-Files." This article is going to look at five programs from the early 2010s. So they are some recent horror thrillers that you either love or are interested to watch for the first time.
Since the second season is starting up soon, it's not bad to go on your Netflix account and binge on the whole first season. Freddie Highmore plays the young Mr. Norman Bates. After binging on the show watch the classic 1960 movie too or rent the books by Robert Bloch.
"The Returned," is a French supernatural drama about people who once died that come back to life. They try to get on with their lives, while weirder things start to happen. Netflix has the first season on their site. It's eight episodes worth. The SundanceTV channel first aired in the U.S. on Halloween of last year.
3. "American Horror Story" (2011)
Netflix has the first two seasons of this horror anthology. If you feel like watching them again or for the first time. In total you can stream 23 episodes of the series!
If you can't live without "The Walking Dead," and tired of waiting for Sundays, Netflix has the first three seasons. Also if you still haven't seen it and wondering what everyone is talking about, check it out and judge for yourself.
"Haven," created in 2010 was inspired by Stephen King's novel, "Colorado Kid." Netflix has the first three seasons on their site. It's a pretty good show and Emily Rose as the lead of Aubrey is great!
So take the night or weekend off and have some fun binge watching these programs for the first to the tenth time!

Charley Molnar Quotes From Weekly MAC Media Teleconference (Aug. 26)
Aug 26, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - UMass football head coach Charley Molnar spoke with media members on Monday morning as the MAC Coaches Teleconference kicked off the first week of the season. Molnar spoke about the differences in the program between year one and year two of the FBS era along with the progression of quarterback Mike Wegzyn and the upcoming game at Wisconsin.
On What The Team Accomplished During Training Camp And In Preparation For Wisconsin:
Going into our first game, we are a more confident team than we were a year ago. We are playing harder and playing together. We are still young in several spots and will play a lot of true freshmen again this year just like last season, but I see good things coming up.
On The Difference Between Year One And Year Two As Head Coach At UMass:
On Playing At Wisconsin:
On Mike Wegzyn At Quarterback And His Progression:
He is definitely a better quarterback now than a year ago. In fact, he's better now than he even was in the Spring. He's just like every other player on our team - more confident, a little bit bigger, and a little bit stronger. His fundamentals have improved dramatically over the course of the year and I think he is just better overall as a quarterback. He still has a way to go; he's still young as a sophomore. I feel much better going into game one this year than I did a year for sure.
On Expectations In Year Two For The Program At The FBS Level:
On The Health Of Rob Blanchflower:
On The Mindset Of Playing At Wisconsin:

Is This The Best Snow Blower For You? This is the least expensive two-stage snow blower in Troy-Bilt's line. It is a "value" snow thrower at an "economy" price. Troy-Bilt is known to offer carefully manufactured products that are innovative, rugged, reliable and durable. This Troy-Bilt is designed for "yard enthusiasts," people who love their lawns, gardens and patios. It is sized for a 2 car drive up to 100 ft long.
What you can use this snow blower for: For Paved and Gravel surfaces. Moderate to wet and heavy snowfall. You can go out in the back yard and clean a spot off for your dogs or make a path out to the chicken coop or horse barn with it but in my opinion the tires are a little too small for these chores and you will end up having traction issues. You can use this to clean your patio and deck but the steel skid shoes will scratch the surface. This snow blower will easily handle 9 inch and deeper snow falls. It will handle even deeper snow falls if you get blizzards once in a while. The six forward and two reverse speeds will let you go slow for the heavy stuff and faster for the lighter snows.
What you may not like: This snow blower is sold through Lowes and rural lifestyle dealerships only. The engine has plenty of power for most snow removal, but the chute is the standard "short" chute and you will get more snow blowing back in your face than you would if you have a Troy-Bilt with the extended chute. It does not have power steering.
Click Here To Find a Dealer Store Near You: This Troy-Bilt is also offered by authorized Troy-Bilt rural lifestyle dealerships.
Be Careful! You may find online prices from other "factory-direct discount" stores but make sure they are an authorized Troy-Bilt dealer. Make sure the big box store can get you the service and parts you need.
Is This One Of The Best Rated Snow Blowers for 2012 – 2013? This Troy-Bilt snow thrower has been around for quite some time, and overall gets very good ratings. The drive system has been around for many years and is one of the most dependable transmissions around. The short chute has been around for years. The reinforced side panels make it stronger than many other snow thrower brands.
Does This Get a Best Snow Blower Rating For 2012-2013? In the Good, Better, Best rating system this snow blower rates a "Good" for ease of use, durability and long life. It does not get the "Better" rating because it does not have power steering, large tires or 4-way chute. It uses a strong Troy-Bilt motor that has plenty of power for it's 24 inch size. In fact the motor is one of the most dependable on the market today. Don't be afraid to buy this snow blower if it fits your needs.
Is This One Of The Best Snow Blowers for the Money 2012-2013? If you have a smaller driveway this 24 inch snow blower is a great machine for the money. It is one of the cheapest snow throwers in this size, and it does represent a great value.
Customer Satisfaction: This model has changed for 2013. It now has a larger motor than before (208cc instead of the 179cc) I expect it to have the same service good record as last years model. Because of the size, the short chute and small tires it will take you longer to move your snow than with the 2620 or 2840 models.
Value: At around $599 it is a good value and one of the least expensive snow throwers in this size. If you have a larger drive look at a larger snow blower. Because of the size, the short chute and small tires it will take you longer to move your snow than with the 2620 or 2840 models.
Service & Parts Availability: Service and parts are easily available through the store where you purchased it. Lowes uses authorized service centers to repair your snow blower
Ease Of Use: This is not one of the easiest snow blowers to use because it does not have power steering. The axles are locked which gives you great traction in all conditions, but for some it may be hard to turn on dry surfaces. Under normal snow removal conditions though you will appreciate the traction this unit has. With the shorter chute you will get snow back in your face more often than the extended chute models and the tires are sized for hard surfaces, not gravel or "off-roading"
Key Features and Benefits: (From Troybilt.com)
When the forecast calls for a foot or more, count on this two-stage snow thrower to pull through. Quick starting and easy to operate, the two-stage Storm 2410 snow thrower will cut into drifts with its 21″ intake height and steadily clear the way, 24″ at a time until the job is done.
- 179cc* 4-Cycle OHV Troy-Bilt engine
- Push-button electric start
- All-wheel drive
- 6 forward / 2 reverse speeds
- 24″ clearing width
- 21″ intake height

Do I Look Fat? Showtimes and Tickets
Read Movie Reviews about Do I Look Fat? Write a Movie Review for Do I Look Fat?
Release Date: 2005-06-04 (Limited)
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: NR
Duration: 58min
"Do I Look Fat?" is an informative and perceptive documentary about gay men, body image, and eating disorders. Noting the emphasis that mainstream gay culture places on appearance -- from gym memberships to porn models' bodies, fashion to circuit parties -- an aura of fat-phobia surrounds the community. This obsession with not being fat and the stigma attached to those whose bodies do not fit an idealized shape can result in serious problems, as related by the film's diverse participants, including several gay and bisexual men who have suffered from eating disorders as well as experts in the field.

My client is a startup and he needs a world-class website on some of the best hosting providers in the world. Page loads should be fast, we can't have servers not responding and going slow, support must be great (like a Live Chat or similar SOS system), and everything else like custom apps should be supported. Any "Unlimited plans" would give us fewer headaches.
I've heard of Engine Yard, Blue Host and Dream Host but I want to know the ground realities instead of simply reading reviews. Do you have any experience? What would you host on if you wanted a world-class datacenter behind you?

- On a clean floor, let baby play and stretch out, exploring his or her surroundings.
- Join a playgroup for babies of your child's age.
- Choose activities for your baby that encourage lots of movement of the hands, arms, legs and feet.
